Our final premature speculation. This has gotta 25 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: be your best premature speculation of all the premature speculations. 26 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: Right here's Baker Mayfield. I'm still in shock from Thursday 27 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: Night Football, by the way, yes, uh. And we'll break 28 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: down all the games fantasy style as we always do, 29 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: beginning with Brown's taking on the Bengals. Brian the Browns. 30 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: The Bengals can beat the Chiefs, no problem. Can't seem 31 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: to find a way to beat the Browns though, unless 32 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: it changes this week. I have a feeling is going 33 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: to change this week. Uh. These teams last met in 34 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: Week eight, or first met in Week eight, I should say, 35 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: so we'll reference that game for sure, starting with the 36 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: Cleveland side, the road team. Nick Chubb. Gonna give him 37 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: an a. Even though the Bengals have a loudly ninth 38 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: uist combo yards opposing running backs, they have surrendered multiple 39 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: running back touchdowns and two in two of their last 40 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: three games. So gotta like Chubb, who has also scored 41 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns and three of his last four games against since, 42 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: the most recently in that Week eight game when he 43 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: had a hundred and one rushing yards and two touchdowns. 44 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: So in a for Chub and uh cream Hunt, we're 45 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: gonna roll with him. Uh, pretty good call last week, Church, 46 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: I believe he was gonna take a chance my running back. 47 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: He was serviceable, got double double touches for the first 48 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,399 Speaker 1: time in a month. Hopefully we'll see good usage again 49 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: this week. Again, it's not the best batch up, but 50 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: the Browns should lean on the running backs. While Deshaun 51 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: Watson remembers how to play football, I thought he looked 52 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: non terrible. I don't think you're watching the right game. 53 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: I know, I know the narrative is should be that 54 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: he looked terrible because the score was bad. Um, but 55 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: I thought I thought he you know, I thought he 56 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: looked non terrible. He threw the ball backwards at one point. 57 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,679 Speaker 1: It was kind of weird. I don't know, he looked 58 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: a little rusty Rossdale. I'll give you that's a different 59 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: than non terrible. Yeah. Okay, well we'll get to Watson 60 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,839 Speaker 1: a second. But a c for Hunts. He had sent 61 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: me two combo yards with four catches in the first meeting. 62 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: I feel like that's kind of a safe floor in 63 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 1: this game. So he's playable with the CE Mark Cooper, 64 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a C and I'll stick with 65 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: the CE. He injured his hip on Thursday and practice 66 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: he says he should be good to go. So something 67 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: you want to monitor. But not a great matchup for him, 68 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: especially because it's a road game. Cooper is averaging thirty 69 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,559 Speaker 1: five receiving yards on the road with a zero touchdowns 70 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: and I'm not including the neutral game. Uh that was 71 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: in Detroit there. But he did have a good game 72 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: in the first meeting at home against the Bengals five catches, 73 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: thirty one yards and a touchdown. But the Bengals have 74 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: allowed the sixth fewest yards and the fewest receptions to 75 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: wide receivers. Just a C for Cooper for that reason. 76 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: I have my boy Donovan People's Jones on the bench. 77 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: I'll bump him up to a sea off. Cooper somehow 78 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: sits in this game. But DPJ has been pretty reliable 79 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: all year, including the Week eight matchup when he had 80 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: four catches for eighty one yards. But personally, I don't 81 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: I don't really like this passing game. With Watson undersetter 82 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: until I see him play a little better. So I 83 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: got DPJ on the bench again unless Cooper sits and 84 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: I give him a C and David na Joko expected 85 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: to go here, Yeah, I'm gonna give him a CEE 86 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: should make his return from injury yet again, I feel 87 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: like he's returned from injury like three or four times 88 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: this year. It's a good matchup on paper though for 89 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: in Joeku. The Bengals have allowed the fourth most receptions 90 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: to opposing tight ends this season, and no team has 91 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: yielded more tight end targets than since you over the 92 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: past three weeks. And lastly, I got to Shaun Watson 93 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,119 Speaker 1: on the bench. Looked pretty bad in my mind, uh 94 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: and in my eyes last week, completing just twelve of 95 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: twenty two passes for one scoreless yards and a pick. 96 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: And really it's a bad matchup. The matchup is more 97 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: bad than DeShawn Watson. The Bengal steps have rendered multiple 98 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: touchdown passes just once all season. So Watson is on 99 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: the bench for me. Over to the Bengal side. Now, 100 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: before you get into the Bengal side, I want to 101 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: ask you something some people asked me on Friday at 102 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: the Friday Football Feast. Is there a scenario where you 103 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: start both Joe Mixing and Soma j p Ryan because 104 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: many people have got that handcuff and the Cleveland run 105 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: defense is bad. Yeah, if you got them both and 106 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: you don't really have any better options, I can't fault 107 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: you for for playing both of them. I'm giving them 108 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: both a c. Even with Mixing coming back, you'd have 109 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: to imagine they got to work in p Ryan, who 110 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: has been more than en table replacement. So the Browns, 111 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: like you said, it's a good matchup. They have allowed 112 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: six team total touchdowns to running backs running back to 113 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: this season, tied for second most in the NFL. The 114 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: weekend game, they really didn't do too well. Mixing and 115 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: p Ryan. Mixing led the way in that one. Uh, 116 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: they combined for just thirty four scoreless rushing yards on 117 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: nine and carries. Mix it in prinded, but they totaled 118 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: ten catches on twelve targets. So yeah, sorry, them both 119 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: a little dicey, but I can't hate it too much. 120 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: But just to see for both players if you only 121 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,119 Speaker 1: happen to have one, but they are startable. Jamaar Chase 122 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: certainly startable with an A. He missed that Week eight game, 123 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: but he is back, so target share in his return 124 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: from hip injury last week looked pretty spry. Chase actually 125 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: hasn't scored or topped fifty yards in his career against Cleveland. 126 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: That's only two games, so I'm not too worried. The 127 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: brown Steps are rendered seven wide receiver touchdowns over the 128 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: last five games. That's why I'll give t Higgins a B. 129 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: Had a little hamstring scare earlier in the week, but 130 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: he should be good to go. I think he's off 131 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: the injury report as of now. So including the Week 132 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: eight game, Higgins has topped ninety yards and or scored 133 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: in five of his last six games. He scored in 134 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: that meeting first meeting with Cleveland. So strong B for 135 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: Higgins and Tyler Boyd. He's he's been pretty brutal as year. 136 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a see though, help yourself. I 137 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: can't help myself. Uh. He scored in that weekate match 138 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: up with Cleveland. He scored in three of his last 139 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: four games against the Browns, so strong pass performance against 140 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: the division rival. So we'll give him a sea here. 141 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna mention someone who has never been mentioned 142 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: on this show, or in my brain or probably in 143 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: any conversation. Mitchell Wilcox should be the starting tight end 144 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,679 Speaker 1: for the Bengals with Haydeen Hurst ruled out. I wanted 145 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: to throw a dart in the tight end waste land. 146 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: But the Browns are allowing less than four catches per 147 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: game to tight ends, and that surrender just two touchdowns 148 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: to the position all season. So I got Wilcox on 149 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: the bench sadly, and I got an a on Joe Burrow, 150 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: and I got a bunch of stuff to say it, 151 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: But I don't think I really need to write one 152 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,679 Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks in the NFL. Basically, after that cold 153 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: first couple of games of the season, Burrow has been terrific. 154 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: Our next matchup, Texans taking on the Cowboys. We referenced 155 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: last just moments ago, the quarterbacking last week when it 156 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: was Deshaun Watson versus Kyle Allen. You want to see 157 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: some bat and quarterback Kyle Allen put on one of 158 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: the worst starting quarterback performances in memory. It was horrific. 159 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: I don't think they pay him two d and fifty 160 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: million dollars literally not. However bad you think Davis Mills is. 161 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: Let me assure you, Kyle Allen is way worse. And 162 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: now they go back to Davis Mills. Yeah, and we 163 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: can start on the Texans side where it should be 164 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: pretty short and sweet, as Houston is seventeen and a 165 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: half point under dogs right now. As you said, Davis 166 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: Mills back at starting quarterback. He by the way, I 167 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: take the seventeen and a half. They played a lot 168 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: of teams close with Davis Mills. The Cowboys haven't, as 169 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: a pretty said, uh, Mills is only top two hundred 170 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: fifty yards once in ten games this year. He hit 171 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: the two touchdown mark only four times this year. He 172 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: faces a Cowboys defense that is top seven in passing attempts, 173 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns. Plus it looks like the Texans will 174 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: be missing both Nico Collins and Brandon Cooks this week, 175 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: so Mills and the whole passing game is definitely on 176 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: your bench. And if you're in one of those weird 177 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: leagues where you have to start a Texans wide receiver, 178 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: you can choose between Philip Dorset, Chris Moore and a 179 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: Marie Rogers as you're likely starting three, probably in that order. 180 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: Damian Pierce I will give a C grade two though. Uh. 181 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 1: In their last five games, the Cowboys have allowed a 182 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: double digit PPR point day to at least one running 183 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: back in every game except the game against the Vikings 184 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: where they shut out Dalvin Cook and company. Even in 185 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: the thirty five point loss last week, Jonathan Taylor touched 186 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: the ball twenty four times against Dallas. I have a 187 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: feeling they'll feed Pierce a lot here to just to 188 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: try to slow the game down. Maybe the one week 189 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: spot in this defense is that they're giving up a 190 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: hundred and five rushing yards per game. That's the twelve 191 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: most in the league. Can I do you guys have 192 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: any concern with Damian Pierce hitting the rookie wall, especially 193 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: considering like you barely use second watched If you watched 194 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: the game last week, looked awesome. He was. He was 195 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: trucking people the near You know, I saw Spia two 196 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: bad games. Everybody just immediately goes, well, he's a rookie, 197 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: it's December hitting the wall. He played two fantastic run 198 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: defenses the last couple of weeks, and he had Kyle 199 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: Allen is his quarterback. I'm telling you, Damian Pierce is fine. 200 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: All right on the other side. I know we were 201 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: talking about could you start both of your Bengals, Well, 202 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: I'm starting both of my Cowboys running backs and they 203 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: both have eight grades in this one. Well you could 204 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: go three deep here, Oh my gosh, you could, I guess. 205 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: But Houston, allowing five point one yards per carryon, have 206 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: allowed the most rushing yards and the second most rushing 207 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: touchdowns to opposing running backs. Both Tony Pollard and Ezekiel 208 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: Elliott should each see fourteen or more touches in this 209 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: game because nobody tries to pass against the Texans. They're 210 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: allowing the fewest completions in the league at only eighteen 211 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 1: per game. And eighteen per game is what just And 212 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: Fields is averaging over his last five games, and you 213 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: don't play Justin Fields for his passing. Of the last 214 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: four quarterbacks they faced, the Texans have allowed under sixteen 215 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: completions and two hundred yards to three of them, and 216 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: in twelve games, the Texans have only allowed ten passing touchdowns. 217 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: All this adds up to like two hundred yards and 218 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: maybe oscore for Dak Prescott oscore oscar and he could 219 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: be watching from the sideline for most of the second half, 220 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: So I'm only gonna give Dak a C grade in 221 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: this one. I don't know. I I look, I hear 222 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: what you're saying. It's gonna be all running all the time, 223 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: but he passes on them. They just don't uh. As 224 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: for Ceedee lamp I'll still give him a B grade. 225 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 1: Here's what good do great fantasy wide receivers have done 226 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: against Houston in the last five weeks. Tyreek Hill six 227 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: for eight five no score, Jalen Waddle five for eighty five, 228 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: no score, Amari Cooper four for forty, no score, Terry 229 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: McLaurin four for fifty five no score, A J Brown 230 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: fur and a touchdown. That's just okay. If you're looking 231 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: for ten to twelve PPR points, Ceedee Lamb is gonna 232 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 1: get you that, but not not much more. As far 233 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: as Michael Gallup, I won't start him in this one, 234 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: but I like what I've seen out of him lately. 235 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: And Dalton Schultz finally, I'll give him a C grade. 236 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: As I mentioned before, the Texans have allowed ten touchdown 237 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: passes this year, half of them have gone to the 238 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: tight end position, including three in the last five weeks, 239 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: and Schultz has scored three times in the last four weeks. 240 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: So Schultz on the touchdown pass from Dak Prescott, He'll 241 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: get the one. Yeah, in this game, you like that, 242 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: You're gonna call your shot one. Dak Prescott touched the angle. 243 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: It could help you out. They could run up and 244 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: down the field and Dad could finish those drives a 245 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: touchdown passes, which would be an ideal scenario for the Peak. 246 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: Could I'm still gonna start in one of my leagues, 247 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: but I don't feel great about it. It's not a 248 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: high upside player. I got Ceedee Lamb everywhere and I 249 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: need him. I need him to buck this this trend 250 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: against Houston and hopefully that will be the case here 251 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 1: when we come back. Take a chance. I mean, nine 252 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: players not normally in your starting line up. With six 253 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: teams on by, you need this. Find out who these 254 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: nine players are when we come back Fantasy Football Week 255 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: nine players not normally in your starting line up. Many 256 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: of these guys available on the waiver wire. In this 257 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: a week with six teams on by, you need it 258 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,719 Speaker 1: more than ever when in you're in week. Let's go 259 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: to the quarterback position, Matt. I've got Mike White and 260 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: two starts Mike White as three and three and three 261 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: s nine yards in a rushing score. Of the last 262 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: eight quarterbacks the Bills have faced, six of them have 263 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: thrown for over three yards or multiple touchdowns. The two 264 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: who didn't Mac Jones and the guy Mike White replaced 265 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson. So kind of like Mike White this week, 266 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: All right, your quarterback? I got San Francisco's Brock pretty 267 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: at home against the Bucks. Brock throws a pretty good ball. 268 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: Actually just came to my head. I can't imagine. The 269 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: Bucks have surrendered at least one passing touchdown in eleven 270 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: straight games, and they also own an opponent passing play percentage. 271 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: North of the road, they're much easier to pass on, 272 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: or at least they give up yield more pass attempts 273 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: on the road, like the matchups for Christian McCaffrey and 274 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: George Kittle through the air. Not so much for Deebo 275 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: Samuel and Brandon Ayuk, but they are both still threats 276 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: on any given Sunday. Which, by the way, I just 277 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: watched that again for the first time in a while. 278 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: That it is horrible, like it's horrible Christmas vacation. Oh no, oh, 279 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: elf is worse. Yes, I know we're both gonna get Oh, 280 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: I've been getting it for all all the week and 281 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: social media, so I said this. It just has somebody 282 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: that didn't grow up watching and watching until last year. 283 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: Christmas vacation is a somber experience appropriate for like I 284 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: don't know, awake waterboarding. I mean it is patently objectively 285 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: not funny by today's standards. I'd watch it over Elf 286 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: ten out of ten, ten out of all the time. 287 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: Sugar in Elf makes my skin crawl. Anyway, Sorry, I 288 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: might take a chance at me. Quarterback is Tyler Huntley 289 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: going up against Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's a lot of passing touchdowns 290 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: in every game this year. They're gonna allow one here. 291 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: Steelers defense is giving up two hundred seventy passing yards 292 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: and two touchdowns per game overall. Over the course of 293 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: the season. Huntley has rushed for at least forty yards 294 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: in all of his extended appearances. Many of them are 295 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: like half games like last week. Honley is gonna rush 296 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: you for the at least those forty yards, throws in 297 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: chips in one or two more. Tyler Huntley's got nice 298 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: upside this week. Can't wait to talk more about him 299 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: later in the show. Yes we will. Let's go to 300 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: the running back position. I've got Cuba Hubbard of the 301 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: Panthers coming out of their Week thirteen by It was 302 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: a little bit of a bummer that Deonta Foreman had 303 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: been limited in practice with foot and rib injuries, but 304 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: he's not carrying an injury designation after practicing Friday. Foreman's 305 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: been very good, but his snap share had dropped to 306 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: about half time in week eleven and twelve, where Chuba 307 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: Hubbard's percentage in those weeks ticked up to the range. 308 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: And with the injury adventure to guess that Hubbard gets 309 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: a little bit more work in this one, and that's 310 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: kind of the trend. So if Foreman's foot issue flares up, 311 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: it's Hubbard's backfield with only Raheim black Shear backing him up. 312 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: And Seattle is bottom six in the league and running 313 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: back touches allowed, combo yards allowed and touchdowns allowed to 314 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: the running back position. I was going to take Chuba 315 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: Hubbard before you took him from I do like that angle, Brian, 316 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: you take a chance of me running back, I'm gonna 317 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: dig a little deep here and go with Baston Scott. 318 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: He's been wicked good against the Giants. To the accent, 319 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: I know. That's what I say to Scott when he's here, 320 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: and he never does it. Scott's not a big accent guy. 321 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,239 Speaker 1: He don't. He won't even do a Scottish accent for us. 322 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: He won't do a Boston accent for Boston Scott, Scottish 323 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: accent for Scott Fish and he won't do a Fish accent. Yeah, 324 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: he won't even make bubbles for his kids, like, but 325 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: he makes He makes the Christmas magical for thousands and 326 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: thousands of kids. Though. We gotta give shout out to 327 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: Scott Fish for fantasy cares. No, I've even started with 328 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: Baston Scott yet. Yes, Miles Sanders is the lead back 329 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: and Kenneth Gane Wills in the mix, but Scott is 330 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: a Giant killer. He has sixteen career touchdowns, Eight of 331 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: them have come against the Giants, who own the second 332 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: highest explosive run rate allowed, and over the last three games, 333 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: they've allowed a hundred and thirty plus rushing yards in 334 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: each and five total rushing scores running backs during that span. 335 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: Defensive lineman Leonard Williams was also forced to leave last 336 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: week's game for New York and is questionable to play. 337 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: And I just think this game gets out of hand 338 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: for New York and Philly will will turn to Baston Scott. 339 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: Jordan Mason is your backup running back for San Francisco. 340 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: With Brock Purty at the helm, I think we're gonna 341 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: get a run heavy game plan from the Niners and 342 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 1: more carries for Mason. He's had eighteen carries this season. 343 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: Listen to this for on these eighteen carries, he's averaging 344 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: five and a half yards per carry. He's posted five 345 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: first downs on his eighteen carries. He's forced five missed 346 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 1: tackles on his eighteen carries, and he's piled up sixty 347 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: one yards after contact on his eighteen carries. Jordan Mason 348 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: can play a little bit. Uh. The Niners have to 349 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: be thoughtful about load management with Christian McCaffrey if they 350 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: want him fresh for the playoffs. Mason's gonna get some 351 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: work here. I don't love the matchup with a good 352 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: run defense for Tampa bay Um, but nevertheless, we're gonna 353 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: see enough action out of Jordan Mason a run heavy 354 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: game plan to make him viable for your team. This week, 355 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: let's go to the wide receiver position. Well, I owe 356 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: is a tight end and it's definitely a matchup every time. 357 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: I should know not to lead you with wide receiver 358 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: because you go tight end more than anybody. I'd like 359 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: to switch it up. Uh. So this is the matchup 360 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: play against the Dolphins, who have allowed the second most receptions, 361 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: seventh most yards, and fourth most touchdowns to tight ends. 362 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 1: And uh they're playing Gerald Everett this week. Eight different 363 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: times this year a tight end is registered double digit 364 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: PPR points against the Dolphins. And it's not the names 365 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: you would think. Hayden Hurst, Irv Smith, Pat Friar Muth, 366 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: the Detroit t J. Hockenson, Cole Commet, Harrison Bryant, Jordan Aikins, 367 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: They're all in that group. Gerald Everett's right there and 368 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: maybe better than a lot of those tight ends. And 369 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: he's coming off five catches for eighty last week against 370 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: the Raiders. You take a chance of me, receiver, Brian, 371 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: I've got Tennessee's Nick westbrook a keene um against the 372 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: Jaguars at home. Treylon Brooks has unfortunately been ruled out 373 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: of this game, UH, clearing the way for n W 374 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: I A great match up. The Jaguars are allowing a 375 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty yards and one point to five touchdowns 376 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: per game to opposing wide receivers. Nick Westbrook a keene. 377 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: I'm going to DJ Chark against the Minnesota Vikings. He 378 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: posted a terrific game last week yards and a touchdown. 379 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: So where was this last week? You may be asking, Well, 380 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: the problem was he had missed over a month injured, 381 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: and then he'd be only had very limited play the 382 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: week before. Now DJ Charks a full timer. Calif Raymond 383 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: may not play in this game, also helping ensure DJ 384 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: Charks on the field a lot. Over the last five weeks, 385 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: Minnesota has allowed the third most receptions, the most yards, 386 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: and four touchdowns to opposing receivers, and on the season 387 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: they've given up the fourth most air yards to receivers 388 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 1: and charts. Always been a deep ball threat to the 389 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: big play possibility certainly in play. Here posted a decent 390 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: game with forty six yards in the previous meeting with Minnesota. 391 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: D J Chark your final of nine. Take a chance 392 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: on me players. We now go to our next matchup, 393 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs taking on the Broncos. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey 394 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: is always obvious a's although it's a tough matchup. Broncos 395 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 1: have surrendered multiple passing touchdowns just three times this year, 396 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: and only one quarterback has managed the top two hundred 397 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: sixty passing yards against them. Still, it's Mahomes and Kelsey, 398 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: so they continue to get a grades. The only other 399 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: receiver I've got a starting grade on is Juju Smith 400 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: Schuster two dud games since returning from his concussion, so 401 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: you get I know you're gonna be hesitant to put 402 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: him in here. The Broncos have given up the fewest 403 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: yards to wide receivers all season, but they've given up 404 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: over one hundred receiving yards to a receiver in three 405 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: of the last four games, so there, they've been a 406 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: little more bendable in the last month. If any Chiefs 407 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: receiver's gonna hit one hundred yards, it's gonna be Juju. 408 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: Denver slot cornerback Kwan Williams could return for this game. 409 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: That if he does, that puts Juju Smith Shuster around 410 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: the bench, because Williams is terrific, allowing game averages of 411 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: three catches for twenty yards and nobody has scored on 412 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: Kwan Williams all year, so track him. But if Kwan 413 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: Williams does not play as the slack cornerback, then we'll 414 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: give a seed to Juju Smith, Schuster, all the other 415 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: receivers around the bench. Kadarius Tony Lingering hamstring injuries, got 416 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: a tough matchup, will not play him. MVS is an 417 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: unreliable drop machine, so we're not gonna play him either, 418 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: And that just leaves Isaiah Pacheco to talk about what 419 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: a great story he has turned into since trading away 420 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: Bradley Chump. The Broncos defense has been gashed by Travis Etienne, 421 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs dot to Foreman, although they did shut down 422 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: the Titans and Ravens run games, probably because the Titans 423 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: and the Ravens don't offer any threat through the air, 424 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: which obviously Patrick Mahomes does. Runners on balanced offenses get 425 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: it done against the Broncos, and over his last four games, 426 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: Pacheco averaging seventeen rushing attempts for eighty two yards in 427 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: almost five yards per garry. He has scored in each 428 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: of his last two games, and he's gonna keep that going. Here, 429 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: be great, Isaiah Pacheck. Oh, let's go over to Denver. 430 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: There's not a lot to like here. I'll mention that 431 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton has been ruled out of this game, and 432 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: that puts Jerry Judy into a C grade. The Chiefs 433 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: have allowed opposing target leaders to finish with more than 434 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: nine yards in three of the last four games, and 435 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: that target leader should be Jerry Judy here. With Sutton out, 436 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 1: Judy spends most of his time in the slot, where 437 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: we'll find coverage cornerback Lugarious Snead, who has allowed to 438 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: seventy two per cent catch rate and the fifth most 439 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: yards after the catch among cornerbacks. So we'll try Jerry 440 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: Judy here, even though he's not at full health either. 441 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: Greg Dulphas coming off a career high game, but he 442 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: faces a Kansas City defense that has held all opposing 443 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: tight ends to twenty five yards or less over the 444 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: last month of play. Um with Sutton out, Dulpha should 445 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: see enough volume to make him tight end viable in 446 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: this the tight end waste land. If you get a 447 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: catch is a tight end, you're viable these days. They 448 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: also had Dulphatch playing a lot of snaps from wide 449 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: receiver Nest week, so I think that will probably continue 450 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: to be the case here. Last Denver player that bears 451 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: mentioning is Latavius Murray. I'm giving him a reluctant C 452 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: grade against a good Kansas City run defense allowing four 453 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: point two yards per carry over the last four games, 454 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: just one touchdown allowed over the last four games, and 455 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: running backs. Chief's a lot of the second most receptions 456 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: though fourth most receiving yards per game to opposing running backs. SOMJ. 457 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: P Ryan pulled in six catches for fifty yards last 458 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,719 Speaker 1: week against Kansas City and LaTavia Smurray got four targets 459 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: last week, so I think Aaron ground he'll chip in 460 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: enough to be a C grade level player. Jaguars take 461 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: on the Titans Brian. The Jaguars were hoping to see 462 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: a return to form of the passing game. Trevor Lawrence 463 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 1: two games ago look fantastic. Last week came down to 464 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: earth significantly. Yeah, Lawrence dealing with a toe issue. UM, 465 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: I want to mention quickly. This is the first meeting 466 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: between these two divisional opponents, so we don't have we 467 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: don't have any recent data to uh to go back to. 468 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: But Lawrence limited practice on Friday. Something you want to monitor. 469 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 1: Give him, I'm gonna even beat Lawrence and B if 470 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: he goes and if he doesn't, and give C J 471 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: beat hard a C. I know that's not how you 472 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: pronounce it, but it's way funnier when do you pronounce 473 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: it that way? Um, But again, keep your eye on Lawrence, 474 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: but a good matchup for both whoever starts. Tennessee owns 475 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: the highest opponent passing play percentage in the league, and 476 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: as a result, they have surrendered the third most passing 477 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: touchdowns and the second most passing yard So a good 478 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 1: spot for the Jaguars past attack. That's why Christian Kirk 479 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: gets an A. Regardless of whose quarterback is, the Titans 480 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: have allowed the fifth most catches, the second most yards, 481 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: and the most touchdowns who opposing wide receivers. Kirk owns 482 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: target share and his top five and red zone targets 483 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: among all wide receivers who love him this week? I 484 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: like J Jones as well. With great matchup, he gets 485 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: a C, as does Evan Engram, who finally found the 486 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 1: end zone last week. Again, I mean he wasn't his 487 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: first touchdown, Pally, I just got a notification on my 488 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: phone that seconds ago you picked up Evan Ingram in 489 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: a league that we're in. I did I wanted to. Uh, 490 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: that's that's a Biggie two. That's our empire league with 491 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: like how much is the we're in the five digits. 492 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: I hope the I R. S isn't listening to this, 493 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: But US is wedding your six hundred dollars that you 494 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: got for your used coffee table. I think they they're 495 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: all about getting you if you got five digit fantasy payout. 496 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: They are a bunch of be holes anyway, I like 497 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: h Ingram with the sea hoole. Excuse me, I don't 498 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: mean you might not throw a hole in a scene. 499 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: Little boy Ram might have trouble finding the endzone this 500 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: week against the Titans, who haven't surrendered a touchdown to 501 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: the position since Week four, but they have allowed at 502 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: least fifty yards to tight ends and back to back weeks. 503 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: And we will take that in the tight end waste land. 504 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: And lastly, for Jacksonville, Travis E t n just to 505 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: see this week for him saw eight percent of the 506 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: snaps last week. That was a good sign, but the 507 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: matchup is downright bad. Against Tennessee. The Titans have a 508 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: very tough rushed defense, allowing just sixty five rushing yards 509 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: per game to running backs and only three total rushing touchdowns. 510 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: That said, Tennessee is allowing nearly seven catches per game 511 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: to the position et n can catch, so you gotta 512 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: start them. But just to see for him over the 513 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: Titan side, I'm gonna give Derrick Henry an a wet 514 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: the bed against Philly, but that was to be expected 515 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: even for him. Jacksonville was a much better matchup as 516 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: as they've allowed ten rushing touchdowns over their last nine games, 517 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: and historically Henry owns the Jaguars for his last six 518 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: games against them. King has averaged forty five rushing yards 519 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: and has total twelve touchdowns in six games against Jacksonville. H. 520 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: So he should get back on track this week he comes. 521 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 1: We'll talk more about Derrick Henry a little later in 522 00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 1: this show. Uh, Nick Westbrook a Keene was my take 523 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: a chance for me wide receiver like him this week again, 524 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: Traylon Burke's has been ruled out unfortunately, and I'll throw 525 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: a seed art at Robert Woods. Uh. The matchup is 526 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: just too good again. The Jaguars allowing a hundred and 527 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: sixty yards and one point to five touchdowns per game 528 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: to opposing wide receivers. So see for Woods if you're desperate. 529 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: The tight end is tricky. Here there's Austin Hooper and 530 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: Chigosim Okanquo. I probably got that wrong. No, actually, I 531 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: think you got it right. I'll give them both the 532 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 1: Sea both saw five targets laugh last week, but Okuanquo 533 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: finished with more receiving yards and Hooper for the second 534 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: straight games. The Jaguars allowing nearly sixty yards per games 535 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: tight ends, So there's production to be had. But who 536 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: will get it or will be it even split? I 537 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: don't know, but I would start both and I lastly, 538 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: I know I'm running out of time a see for 539 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: Ryan tanney Hill Jags allowing a ridiculous two passing yards 540 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: at two point one passing touchdowns per game on the road. 541 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: When we come back, more matchups for you, including the 542 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: Jets taking on the Bills. What to make of that? 543 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: Jets backfield will tell you about that, and James Cook 544 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: reliable star or find out in a tough matchup? Find 545 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: out we come back. Fantasy Football Weekly, big block of 546 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: matchups coming. It's Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Chargie and Matt 547 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: Harrison and Brian Johnson with you, Matt, Yeah, let's take 548 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: out in the Bills. These are two good defenses. Jeff's 549 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: offense performed very well last week, but this is a 550 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: trickier opponent and a muddier back field than we had 551 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: last week, as well as Michael Carter expected to return. 552 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: I don't exactly know what the over under in this 553 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: game is, but I'm gonna take the over in this one. 554 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: I think there's some points to be had here. Well, 555 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: Mike White was might take a chance on me quarterback, 556 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: And if I like Mike White, I have to like 557 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson right his last five game yardage totals one 558 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,479 Speaker 1: nine two, which was against the Bills twelve and then 559 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson lost his job, and then five and one 560 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: sixty two last week. He's moving up the ranks quickly 561 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: into that upper tier of wide receivers. And upper tier 562 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: wide receivers have absolutely torched the Bills in the last 563 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: month or so. Aman Ra, Amari Cooper, justin Jefferson. They 564 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: all topped a hundred and ten yards and scored at 565 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: least once. So I'll give Wilson an a grade in 566 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: this one. Corey Davis gets a C grade as well. 567 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: Although he's been dealing with an illness this week and 568 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: has been limited in practice, he still gets a SEE 569 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: because he's very involved in the offense. Is that was 570 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: one of my uh that was one of my take 571 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: a chance, Uh yeah, my premature speculation player a couple 572 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Look at that, like Corey Davis. Don't 573 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: start Tyler Conklin this week, but stash him on your 574 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: bench for your fantasy playoffs where he'll face Detroit, Jacksonville 575 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: and Seattle. And he was one of my premature speculations 576 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: I think two weeks ago. Uh. Zanovan Knight, Bam Knight. 577 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: He gets a B for Bam twenty touches for a 578 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: hundred in eighteen yards last week against the Vikings, which 579 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: included five receptions for you PPR fans and seventeen touches 580 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: the week before, and of course the Bills had Von 581 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: Miller hit the i R. They're also gonna be missing 582 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: run stuff and tackle Jordan Phillips this week, and linebacker 583 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: Matt Milano might not go with a knee injury. Those 584 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: are big losses if they don't go. Yeah, Milano didn't 585 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: play in the first meeting with the Jets this year, 586 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: and in that game, Michael Carter and James Robinson combined 587 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: for a hundred and thirty nine total yards and two 588 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: touchdowns in that one. I think you're underestimating how much 589 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: work Michael Carter might get in this game. Okay, Night's 590 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: been dang good. It's been good, and and they said 591 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: they'll keep they'll keep Night involved in this offense. Man, 592 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: But I think this is gonna be more of a 593 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: time share than you're building it up to be. Because 594 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: but I haven't let you talk about Michael yet. Go ahead. 595 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: I don't even want to talk about Michael car I mean, 596 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: if if if I did put put put forth all 597 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: the uh the stats about all the guys who are out. 598 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: So I guess Michael Carter gets a sea it Zonovan Knight. 599 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: I think I think he's the lead back here. I 600 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: think that they're going to run with the hot hand, 601 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: and he's been red hot as of recent Alright, let's 602 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: go over to the bill side, where I have Josh 603 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,719 Speaker 1: Allen and Stephen Diggs as no brainer a grades. If 604 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: you have a chance, go on FF today and look 605 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: up Josh Allen's career history against the Jets. It's absolutely crazy. 606 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,719 Speaker 1: The worst game that he played four quarters in three, 607 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: seven passing yards and sixty one on the ground. That's 608 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: the worst game he's played. Uh. Diggs is top eight 609 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: yards are scored against the Jets in four of his 610 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: last five as well. The other wide receivers, Gabe Davis 611 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: and Isaiah McKenzie are guys I'd rather leave on the 612 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: bench if I could. But if you need an absolute 613 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: home run ball to we win your Week fourteen matchup, 614 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: there probably that Davis and mackenzie are seemingly trading off 615 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: who has the better day, but both were held two 616 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: catches and under thirty five yards in the first meeting 617 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: with the Jets. The Jets have allowed the third fewest 618 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: receptions in the second fewest r arts to wide receivers. However, 619 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: they are giving up about a touchdown per game to 620 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: the position, so bench grade really, But if you need 621 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: a home run dart throw, you could play him. You 622 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: know why Josh Allen kills the Jets all spite? Oh 623 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: really they drafted Sam Donald, that's true. Uh, I'd also 624 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: leave Dawson Knox on the bench. He's pretty touchdown dependent 625 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: and he's not scoring touchdowns and the Jets have not 626 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: allowed to touch down to the tight ends all season. Finally, 627 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: the running back position, What to do about Devin Singletarry 628 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: and James Cook. I think they're both startable in this one. 629 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give them both C grades here. Cook had 630 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: fourteen carries to single Arry's thirteen last week, but Cook 631 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: was out targeted six to two, and Cook caught all 632 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: six of his targets for forty one yards. The Jets 633 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: have been pretty good overall against the run, but James Brother, 634 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: Dalvin and Alex Madison each scored last week. And the 635 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: only backfield not to boast a double digit PPR runner 636 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,959 Speaker 1: against the Jets in the last eight weeks was the 637 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills in Week nine. So just C grades for 638 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: these dudes. I think it's going to flow through the air. 639 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: Ravens take on the Steelers. Already told you Tyler Huntley 640 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: was might take a chance on me quarterback. I'd like 641 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: to tell you that I could plainy of his receivers, 642 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: but you can't, and you wouldn't because they're all awful. Fortunately, 643 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews is here now. Andrews is one of my 644 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: trickiest grades to give this week. Now, We've seen Huntley 645 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 1: with Andrews. Man, does he love that guy? In the 646 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 1: six games that Huntley has played any significant time in, 647 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: Andrews is averaging eleven targets, nine receptions, nine times, nine 648 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 1: times hundred four yards, and he's caught five touchdowns in 649 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 1: those six games. I think that's you know, this is 650 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: all Tyler Harley does. That is the definition of whoobee 651 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 1: back to the Ravens receivers wide receivers real quick. The 652 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: last time of Ravens wide receive ever scored a touchdown 653 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: Week three? Are you serious, Devin DuVernay? Wow, I didn't 654 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: realize it was that bat. That is really really bad. Um. 655 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 1: The catch here, though, is this is a pretty good Uh, 656 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,240 Speaker 1: there's a pretty good Steelers tight end defense, and Tyler 657 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: Huntley is still an unpolished quarterback. And Mark Andrews hasn't 658 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: scored since Week six. I'm gonna give him an A grade. 659 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: Just I'm gonna give him an a grade on the 660 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: assumption that Tyle Huntley is gonna keep going back to 661 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: him and calling his number, and let's hope that that 662 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: works out for Mark Andrews because his fantasy owners needed. 663 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: Let's go to the Baltimore Runners. I'm out on the 664 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: whole thing. I'm just I'm done with them. Yeah, that's it. 665 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: Why haven't you been there for a long time? Because 666 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: I'm at Gus Edwards apologist. I love that guy, and 667 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 1: I wanted to believe it was all gonna come together. 668 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: But then last week we get the inexplicable Kenyan Drake 669 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: return and I'm just I'm done. I'm done with it. 670 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: I'm tired of guys getting reinjured. I'm tired of Kenyan Drake. 671 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 1: One game doesn't get the ball at all, and the 672 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: next team in explicably does just forget it. Plus, since 673 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: T J. Watts returned from injury in Week ten, the 674 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 1: Steelers are allowing at least seventy five rushing yards per 675 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 1: game to opposing running backs. That would be fifth few 676 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: US across the whole season. And J. K. Dobbins, by 677 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: the way, might be active for this game. That would 678 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: just complicate matters further. So you don't want any part 679 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: of that. Let's go to the Steelers. I've only got 680 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: two players with a starting grade. We'll begin with Najy Harris, 681 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: who has been better lately. We very correctly urged you 682 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 1: to drop Najy Harris early in this season, but actually 683 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: he's gotten better lately. We'll recognize that over the last 684 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: three games. Why the peacock then, because we urged you 685 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 1: to drop him like week two, and then he got better. 686 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 1: Well yeah, after Thanksgiving, last three full games, Harris has 687 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: rebounded impressively, averaging nineteen carries ninety two yards per game 688 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,240 Speaker 1: air and see his momentum. Though likely to be slowed 689 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: by Ravens team that's been fantastic against the run, giving 690 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,959 Speaker 1: up the third fewest rushing yards per game, and even 691 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: better since then since getting Roe Kwan Smith from the Bears. 692 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: No back his top forty seven yards against the Ravens, 693 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 1: which is incredible, and they're giving up two points seven 694 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: yards per carry. That's it. So I can only get 695 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: you to a C grade here. Some of it's gonna 696 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: come through the air, where the Ravens are beautiful. They 697 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 1: give up the sixth most receiving yards to the position 698 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: and Harris can catch, although they don't throw to him enough. 699 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 1: So just the C grade on Harris. The only other 700 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 1: player I've got a starting grade on for the Steelers, 701 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: Pat Friarmouth, the most reliable part of a very underwhelming 702 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,399 Speaker 1: passing attack. Ravens got lit up by Greg Dulcet's last week, 703 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,760 Speaker 1: and Juwan Johnson scored two weeks before that. The Ravens 704 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: have held opposing tight ends to three or fewer catches 705 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: and four of the past five games, which I don't love. 706 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: In his two games against the Ravens last year is 707 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: a rookie, he averaged five catches for forty yards, which 708 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: isn't half bad. Kenny Pickett's on the bench. He's never 709 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 1: topped one touchdown and the Ravens have repeatedly proven they 710 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: can shut down third your passers like Kenny Pickett, so 711 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: we'll bench him. Deonta Johnson I'm done. That's another guy 712 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: I'm done with on the bench for Deonte Johnson hasn't 713 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: scored yet this year. He's managed to turn eight targets 714 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: per game over the last three weeks into nothing. Nobody 715 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: does last with eight targets, and then Deonta Johnson. He's 716 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: failed the top sixty three yards in nine straight games. 717 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: George Pickens also, it doesn't even merit discussion. Really, I'm 718 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,720 Speaker 1: only gonna bring it. I'm only gonna pause to mention 719 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 1: his name because we've got six teams on by in 720 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,280 Speaker 1: time to fill. Oh you didn't hear about the squeaky 721 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: wheel George Pickens, did you? Why? No, I didn't. He 722 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 1: got one target last week and came out in the 723 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,959 Speaker 1: media hot and then Mike Tomlin defended him and said, heck, yeah, 724 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,399 Speaker 1: that's what I want onto my wide receivers. I think 725 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: the squeaky wheel treatment goes toward George Pickens this week. 726 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: So you think that he could get double last year production, 727 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: double last one target for zero catches and serial yards. Yeah. Well, 728 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 1: you know, when Chess Claypool got traded away, many of 729 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: us thought that was gonna clear the way for George 730 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: Pickens to become a Fantasy factor. Not even close. He's 731 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: actually worse somehow. He's gonna be a nice DFS play 732 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: this week. He's off the radars for way off the radars. 733 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what cheap he is, but he can't 734 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 1: be cheap enough. Brian, Eagles, hang on, let me just 735 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: double check our time. Yeah, we have time Eagles taking 736 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 1: on the Giants. Brian, Yeah, we got time because there's 737 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: not a lot to talk about on the Giant side, 738 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: but we'll start with the Eagles. By the way, another 739 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 1: divisional matchup. I got a ton of divisional matchups in 740 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,840 Speaker 1: this show. This is the first meeting between the Eagles 741 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: and Giants this season as well. UH starting with Miles Standards, 742 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 1: gonna give him a B. The Giants had the second 743 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: highest explosive run rate allowed, and over the last three 744 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 1: games they've allowed a hundred and thirty plus rushing yards 745 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: in each and five total rushing scores and running backs 746 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: during that span. I mentioned this earlier Leonard Williams, they're 747 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 1: their best to of lineman arguably was for us to 748 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: leave last week. UH could might miss this week as well, 749 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: certainly not a hundred percent. So like Sanders with a B, 750 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: and I think a backup running back is going to 751 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: do something in this game for the Eagles, and I'm 752 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 1: going with Baston scott As might take a chance, I 753 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: mean running back over to Kenneth Gainwell. So I like 754 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,760 Speaker 1: Scott here As might take on. And I have certainly 755 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,280 Speaker 1: like a J. Brown who gets an A. The Giants 756 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,800 Speaker 1: will be without their best corner A Dorty Jackson again 757 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:31,280 Speaker 1: and also likely starting safety Xavier McKinney, so all systems 758 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: go for A J. Brown, who has six touchdowns over 759 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 1: his last six games. New York has allowed five wide 760 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 1: receiver touchdowns over the last five games, and over the 761 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 1: last two weeks, both Ceedee Lamb and Terry McLaren top 762 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 1: to one hundred yards against New York. So easy a 763 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 1: for a j. A fantasy FONZI for a J. Brown, 764 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 1: I can't bust out the fonds. I'm just worried that 765 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 1: the Giants are gonna keep pacing this one. But we'll see. Uh. 766 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: Speaking of ce uh, Davante Smith gets one of those. 767 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 1: He's a boom er bust option most weeks, but Smith 768 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 1: has logged at least seventy five yards and door a 769 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 1: touchdown and three of his last four games out. Yeah, 770 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 1: that's true. We're going to again to that in a 771 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: in a second again with the Dorry Jackson out of 772 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 1: the lineup, and as he was last week, both Terry 773 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: McLaurin and John Dotson reeled in a touchdown reception, so 774 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: there could be enough meat on the bone for Smith, 775 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: and Smith certainly needs to eat more meat. He's pretty 776 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: skinny over the tight end. No Dallas got heard this week, 777 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 1: but should make his return next week, which is a 778 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,720 Speaker 1: Christmas miracle to me. But I'm gonna give Jack Stole 779 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,439 Speaker 1: a c. That's your dark c dart in the tight 780 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: end waste land. Uh, Giants are allowing five catches and 781 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: fifty seven yards per game to tight ends. And that's 782 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: elite production in the tight end wasteland unless your Travis 783 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,839 Speaker 1: Kelsey and then then that's a down game. And uh, 784 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,400 Speaker 1: speaking of down games or not speaking of down games, 785 00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts never has any of those. Really, he gets 786 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 1: an a New York Becau's giving up multiple touchdowns and 787 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 1: door three passing yards and five of the past six 788 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 1: he can get down the ground. Obvious start. Maybe he 789 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 1: should be Yeah, I'll give her step yeah. Uh Now 790 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,359 Speaker 1: to the Giant side. Pretty brutal here, Sorry with Sa 791 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley, whose status is quote unquote up in the 792 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: air with a neck injury. UM, I don't want to 793 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: put Scott Fish on blast, but he has some inside 794 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 1: information says he'll play, So I'm gonna hold him that. 795 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 1: I hope he plays it because he's in a league 796 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: and he's starting himself. Parents and then extended family fishes 797 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues, fishes the man anyway, Just 798 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: to see for Barkley if he goes He's been fading 799 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 1: over his last five games, averaging three point three yards 800 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 1: per carry as opposed to five point one through his 801 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 1: first seven games. This is a brutal matchup, especially with 802 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,400 Speaker 1: stood Rickie Lyman Jordan Davis back in action for the Eagles, 803 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 1: who just held Derrick Henry to thirty rushing yards, and 804 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,399 Speaker 1: the eight games Davis is laid, the Eagles have only 805 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 1: allowed three running backs to surpass fifty rushing yards. So 806 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,360 Speaker 1: not a good spot for Barkley. I got Darius Slayton 807 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: on the bench. The Eagles up surrendered three wide receiver 808 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,879 Speaker 1: touchdowns over their last two games. Uh, he'll be going 809 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 1: going up against Darius slay who owns a fifty three 810 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 1: point two passer rating in his coverage and James Bradberry 811 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,320 Speaker 1: owns a forty three point two pass rading his coverage. 812 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 1: Revenge game from James Bradberry, by the way, former Giants. 813 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: And lastly, Daniel Bellinger on the bench as is Daniel Jones, 814 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 1: Bencher Daniels, No Daniels. It's a very sad day for 815 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 1: all of the Daniels involved in the Eagles Giants game. 816 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: When we come back, three tough questions, we will give 817 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 1: you the questions. You try to come up with the answers, 818 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,919 Speaker 1: and they're tough. You know they are. I think they're 819 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: tough when I crafted them to be tough. We'll find 820 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 1: out if our co host can go three and oh 821 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 1: you can play along when we come back to Fantasy 822 00:43:52,520 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 1: Football Weekend. Welcome back our number two Fantasy football weekly. 823 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 1: As always, we begin our two with a game we 824 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 1: call three tough questions. Tough question number one, what is 825 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:30,320 Speaker 1: the appropriate level of concern for Derrick Henry? Is it none? 826 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,800 Speaker 1: Is it some? Or is it a bowl loosening level 827 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 1: of existential dread? Matt So, we've had a couple of 828 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: bummer games. Last week's thirty eight total yards against Philly 829 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 1: not good. That would be four bumber games. Uh. The 830 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 1: Eagles defense has done a good job bottling up bell 831 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 1: Cow's the week before since he buoyed by a huge reception, 832 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,319 Speaker 1: and then two weeks before Denver did a great job 833 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 1: against Henry. All three of those games a snapshare was 834 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 1: under six, and basically all the games where he's dominant 835 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 1: this year, he saw snapshare of over What this tells 836 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: me Tennessee knows they're in the playoffs and they're taking 837 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,959 Speaker 1: snaps away from Henry, trying to keep him healthy for 838 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,279 Speaker 1: the real playoffs, not your fantasy playoffs. So I was 839 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 1: gonna say some, but then I looked at the schedule 840 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,880 Speaker 1: Jacksonville this week that Brian already alluded to how successful 841 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,800 Speaker 1: he's been against Jacksonville. The Chargers next week are horrible 842 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 1: against the run, the Texans after that are even worse somehow, 843 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,040 Speaker 1: and all our bottom ten against runners. So even if 844 00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,200 Speaker 1: he's on the field for half the time, he should 845 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:28,920 Speaker 1: still be able to log a hundred and a score 846 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 1: in each of the next three games. The championship week 847 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 1: against Dallas. I'm blowed about that one, But no concern 848 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,760 Speaker 1: about Derrick Henry. All right, Matt, what is the appropriate 849 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 1: level of concern for Derrick Henry? You want me to 850 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,399 Speaker 1: go again? Go ahead and then all right, run it back? 851 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,239 Speaker 1: Level of exist stent ChIL dread, Yeah, I don't have 852 00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,959 Speaker 1: a ton to add Um. He's had some bad games 853 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 1: with those are bad matchups. The schedule is great outside 854 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 1: of the Dallas game in week sevent team, but I'm 855 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 1: not worried about that right now. I just want to 856 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 1: throw out Um Henry. He said that he's Scott Jaguars, 857 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,840 Speaker 1: Chargers great matchups, and the Texans. Here are Derrick Henry's 858 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 1: last four games against the Houston Texans, Starting uh with 859 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 1: the most recent, which happened on October thirty of this year, 860 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 1: he had two hundred, nineteen rushing yards and two touchdowns. 861 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,600 Speaker 1: Then going down the line is other previous three games, 862 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:23,400 Speaker 1: two and fifty rushing yards, two touchdowns, two and twelve 863 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns, two d eleven yards and three touchdowns. 864 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,720 Speaker 1: That's got to be an NFL record. Not to believe 865 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,880 Speaker 1: no runner has ever gone over two hundred yards and 866 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,880 Speaker 1: four straight against a single opponent. That's that's gotta be 867 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 1: T's gotta be a record. I don't I don't think 868 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:42,359 Speaker 1: anybody's probably done it three times. Yeah, right, So I'm 869 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 1: at none. And as Matt said, yes, they're in the playoffs, 870 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,319 Speaker 1: but there's still some jockeying to be done. I don't 871 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 1: think they're just gonna put Henry on ice towards the 872 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,840 Speaker 1: end of the year. So yeah, none for me. The 873 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 1: correct answer is some the eye test, he's he doesn't 874 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: look like the same guy. I mean, you know, and 875 00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 1: we knew that eventually the years, the wear and tear, 876 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,320 Speaker 1: everything would start to catch up with him. That's happening 877 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 1: right now. That doesn't mean he's not gonna ever have 878 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,719 Speaker 1: another good game. But he's not shedding tackles like he's 879 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,919 Speaker 1: used to. He's not taking punishment. He's rather actually he's 880 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:14,400 Speaker 1: taking punishment rather than dishing it out used to Derrick Henry. 881 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,640 Speaker 1: Now that's just the eye test. Metrically, Derrick Henry has 882 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,480 Speaker 1: dropped to seventeenth and running back efficiency per Next Gen Stats. 883 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,920 Speaker 1: He sees the second highest rate of eight men in 884 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,880 Speaker 1: the box defenders, which is not good, and he's twenty 885 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 1: four in rushing yards over expectation. I mean, you know, 886 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:36,280 Speaker 1: we're used to Derrick Henry being like first, second, third. 887 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 1: The only thing bailing him out is the schedule that 888 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,760 Speaker 1: you alluded to here. If he had a neutral schedule, 889 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 1: I'd be straight up blow right. I agree, But the 890 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: schedule is so soft. Our concern for Derrick Henry is 891 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:53,920 Speaker 1: merely some tough question. Number two for Dynasty and Empire leagues, 892 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 1: are you holding Tyler Huntley for next season? And I'm 893 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,800 Speaker 1: looking for two answers here. I am looking for a 894 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 1: one quarterback league answer, and I am looking for a 895 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:10,320 Speaker 1: super flex answer. Yes or no. For Dynasty and Empire leagues. 896 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,160 Speaker 1: Are you holding Tyler Huntley for next season? We begin 897 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,719 Speaker 1: with Brian all right, I'll start with the one quarterback 898 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,360 Speaker 1: um question, and I'm gonna say yes and again, if 899 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,920 Speaker 1: you're holding him, you really just holding him until you 900 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,520 Speaker 1: see if Lamar Jackson resigns. It sounds like you have 901 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:30,400 Speaker 1: to hold Huntley through the your rookie draft or anything 902 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,399 Speaker 1: like that. In a one quarterback league, if Jackson resigns, 903 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 1: I would drop him, But as for now, I'm certainly 904 00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 1: holding him, and in super flex I'm holding him either way, 905 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 1: even if l jacks does resign, Um, you still want 906 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:44,839 Speaker 1: to have Huntley, who who's proven to be more than 907 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,880 Speaker 1: a nable back up. I'm not gonna say he's better 908 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 1: than Lamar Jackson, but he's, you know, capable. He's certainly capable. Um. 909 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:56,040 Speaker 1: He's average fifteen plus Fantasy points when he's seen more 910 00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 1: than fifty of the snaps in any given game over 911 00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,040 Speaker 1: his last six extended appearances, whether it was a start 912 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 1: or no. He comes in in relief, He's rushed for 913 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 1: at least forty yards. The Ravens they were missing Rashad Bateman. 914 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 1: They certainly have to address wide receiver in the off season. 915 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,279 Speaker 1: We just talked about how they a wide receiver has 916 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:19,319 Speaker 1: and caught a touchdown since Week three from Baltimore, so 917 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,400 Speaker 1: they improved there. Uh. You gotta like Huntley, who was 918 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,160 Speaker 1: I think thirty of thirty five passing last week, coming 919 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 1: off coming off cold, coming off the bench cold. So uh, 920 00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,400 Speaker 1: it's not long story short, it's kind of gong we 921 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,040 Speaker 1: got time. Yes, yes, but you drop him in the 922 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 1: one quarterback if they resign, I think Lamar Jackson got it. Uh, 923 00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 1: Matt dying to see an empire. Leagues, are you holding 924 00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:45,360 Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley for next season? In both cases? Yes, um, 925 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,400 Speaker 1: Brian talked about it a little bit. The most likely 926 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,400 Speaker 1: scenario would be the Ravens either franchise tag Lamar Jackson 927 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 1: or they're able to agree to terms with them. Huntley, 928 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,080 Speaker 1: by the way, also in a contract year. But let's 929 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,240 Speaker 1: say there's a twenty chance that Jackson hits free agency. 930 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,239 Speaker 1: In that case, I think Huntley would be offered a 931 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,880 Speaker 1: contract by Baltimore and he's the starting quarterback there. And 932 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 1: if they do sign a franchise Lamar Huntley is a 933 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 1: free agent, so he could be free to find a 934 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 1: starting gig. I looked through the quarterbacks, like the teams 935 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,120 Speaker 1: that might need a quarterback next year, there's a lot 936 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 1: of them. Seventeen is what I counted. That's over half 937 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:19,759 Speaker 1: the league that might be in the market for an 938 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:23,400 Speaker 1: upgraded quarterback. Uh, there's only four or five that are 939 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,440 Speaker 1: gonna be in the draft that are gonna be that good. 940 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,600 Speaker 1: So there's gonna be a lot of play out there. 941 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,520 Speaker 1: And I think there's a really good chance that Huntley's 942 00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:33,520 Speaker 1: competing in camp or adorned as a starting quarterback next season. Wow, 943 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,200 Speaker 1: that is a that's a great answer. This is this 944 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,480 Speaker 1: is gonna be fascinating, and we're not the media is 945 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,840 Speaker 1: not making enough of these next two or three games 946 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,240 Speaker 1: that Tyler Huntley is gonna start if he plays well. 947 00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,879 Speaker 1: The Ravens suddenly have got a massive decisions that they're 948 00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,440 Speaker 1: going to have to make to free agent quarterbacks. Do 949 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:57,719 Speaker 1: you pay Lamar Jackson a quarter billion dollars or do 950 00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,839 Speaker 1: you keep Tyler Huntley on like ten million a year? 951 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,880 Speaker 1: And Jackson's his own agent, and he's gonna want quarterback 952 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,879 Speaker 1: Brown's money because that was all guaranteed, and and and 953 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 1: and Jackson's gonna run exactly that contract. If not a 954 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 1: little more. Probably probably the case, and I think the 955 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,440 Speaker 1: Ravens are gonna have to. Really there's a very good 956 00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 1: chance that they blink on this thing, very good chance. 957 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,759 Speaker 1: For the entirety of fantasy football, no matter you're no 958 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,520 Speaker 1: matter what league you're in, no matter anything else, the 959 00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:32,759 Speaker 1: single biggest cheat code in fantasy football is a reliable 960 00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:38,280 Speaker 1: mobile quarterback. That's the it's the clearest path to fantasy 961 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:42,320 Speaker 1: points that there is. You can't drop a mobile quarterback 962 00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,880 Speaker 1: in an offense that will create designed runs for its quarterback. 963 00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,000 Speaker 1: And that's what Baltimore has got with Tyler Huntley. Should 964 00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,719 Speaker 1: he end up staying there, and I think there's a 965 00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,279 Speaker 1: better chance than most people realize that he will. And 966 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,759 Speaker 1: maybe Tyl huntleyton evolve into a passing threat. We don't 967 00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,280 Speaker 1: know yet. You know, we haven't seen enough of his passing, 968 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:03,799 Speaker 1: but he's your average scent completion rate. It's huge, it's 969 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:08,240 Speaker 1: very good. Absolutely should be picking up and holding Tyler 970 00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:15,279 Speaker 1: Huntley regardless of format. Tough question number three. Two years ago, 971 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:19,280 Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver Justin Jefferson powered teams through the fantasy playoffs. 972 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,880 Speaker 1: Last year, rookie wide receiver am On Ras st Brown 973 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:29,000 Speaker 1: Powered teams through the Fantasy Playoffs. Who will this year's 974 00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:35,400 Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver b two power teams through the Fantasy Playoffs, Matt, 975 00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 1: I have two candidates. I think charch is gonna pick 976 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,520 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson as his answer, But so I'm gonna go 977 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:44,360 Speaker 1: the opposite and highlight Christian Watson here. Uh. He scored 978 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,880 Speaker 1: seven times in his last four games, and the massive 979 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,759 Speaker 1: touchdown upside is exactly what you need to put you 980 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,680 Speaker 1: over the top in elimination weeks. We're looking for one 981 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 1: guy to score five to six times in a three 982 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 1: week span, and I think Watson has the best chance 983 00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 1: to do it out of the rookie wide receivers. He 984 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:03,279 Speaker 1: gets the shell of the Rams secondary, the Dolphins and 985 00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,719 Speaker 1: likely a high scoring affair, and then the Vikings in 986 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:10,920 Speaker 1: the championship week and their secondary is brutal. The Vikings 987 00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,920 Speaker 1: matchup for Watson might win you your Fantasy championship alone. 988 00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,759 Speaker 1: I like all of them, but Watson provides the most 989 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:23,319 Speaker 1: hero ball upside. Brian, which rookie receiver will be this 990 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:27,640 Speaker 1: year's guide to power teams through the Fantasy Playoffs? I agree? 991 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,239 Speaker 1: I agree with Matt in that Uh, Christian Watson and 992 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson are the top two candidates. I do think 993 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 1: Crystal Lava deserves to be in this discussion. I like 994 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,240 Speaker 1: lave more if Jameis Winston comes back, which he should, 995 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,120 Speaker 1: but I gotta go with Garrett Wilson, who last week 996 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,560 Speaker 1: and three tough questions, I was the only one to 997 00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,879 Speaker 1: say he would finished the season as a wide receiver one, 998 00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,960 Speaker 1: and he got off to a good start against the Vikings. 999 00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,879 Speaker 1: I do not love the matchup at Buffalo this week, 1000 00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,560 Speaker 1: but after that he's got Detroit and Jacksonville at home 1001 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,480 Speaker 1: and then at Seattle. I think those are B grades 1002 00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:02,000 Speaker 1: at best for Wilson, who has just great splits. Uh. 1003 00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:03,960 Speaker 1: As long as Garrett weill I'm sorry, as long as 1004 00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:08,320 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson isn't under quarterback with any non Zach Wilson quarterback, 1005 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:12,520 Speaker 1: Wilson's been going off. So Garrett Wilson is my answer. UH. 1006 00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,879 Speaker 1: The correct answer is Garrett Wilson. Listen to this. Since 1007 00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 1: Week eight, he's got the seventh highest receiving grade by 1008 00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. He's number one in receiving yards after contact. 1009 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,440 Speaker 1: I don't mean among rookies, I'm talking about across all receivers, 1010 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,680 Speaker 1: He's uh, he's got two point six yards per route run, 1011 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:34,480 Speaker 1: seven point five yards after the catch, twelve explosive reception, 1012 00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,920 Speaker 1: six forced miss tackles, which is top ten among all 1013 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,839 Speaker 1: wide receivers, and he's got zero drops on forty one 1014 00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,759 Speaker 1: targets since Week eight. For Garrett Wilson and guests, who's 1015 00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:49,880 Speaker 1: got the second easiest remaining schedule against the past the Jets? 1016 00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:55,000 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson. I thought about Christian Watson. The thirty percent 1017 00:54:55,680 --> 00:55:00,000 Speaker 1: of his of his catches as touchdowns is unsustainable. No, really, 1018 00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,480 Speaker 1: that is not going to continue. I can't go there. 1019 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 1: And also, by the way, non zero chance Aaron Rodgers 1020 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,279 Speaker 1: is not his quarterback for many of those games. It 1021 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:13,440 Speaker 1: could be non zero chance. Non zero. Let's go to 1022 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:19,400 Speaker 1: our next matchup, which is the Panthers taking on the Seahawks. Matt, 1023 00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,480 Speaker 1: where do you want to start? I'll start with the 1024 00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:23,799 Speaker 1: running backs where I talked about Chuba Hubbard as might 1025 00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,239 Speaker 1: take a chance on me runner uh Deonta Foreman. I'm 1026 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,960 Speaker 1: also going to give him a C grade. If Foreman 1027 00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:34,279 Speaker 1: suddenly comes up lame in warmups, I'd up Hubbard to 1028 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,200 Speaker 1: a B grade in this one. But right now they're 1029 00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 1: both getting c's. Uh Sam Donald is going to start 1030 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 1: again at quarterback, but I don't think i'd start him. 1031 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,040 Speaker 1: Hasn't had a three hundred game in nine straight weeks 1032 00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,759 Speaker 1: dating back to Week four of last year, and the 1033 00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,879 Speaker 1: Seahawks haven't allowed a three yard passer since Week four 1034 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,920 Speaker 1: of this year. D J. Moore is startable with a 1035 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,879 Speaker 1: C grade. Though Donald has always looked More's way, it's 1036 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,360 Speaker 1: it was no different last game, where he led the 1037 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 1: team and targets with six caught four of them for 1038 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,480 Speaker 1: a hundred and three in a score. This would have 1039 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,600 Speaker 1: been a B grade if Seattle wasn't so great against 1040 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,120 Speaker 1: opposing wide receivers. The only wide receiver to top ninety 1041 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,279 Speaker 1: yards against the Seahawks this year was Jerry Judy in 1042 00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:16,000 Speaker 1: Week one, and over the last six games, they've only 1043 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,920 Speaker 1: allowed a wide receiver to score four times. That's one 1044 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,520 Speaker 1: of the totally underrated aspect of why Seattle is still relevant. 1045 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:26,200 Speaker 1: In mid December that past defense nobody saw this coming. Well, 1046 00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:30,640 Speaker 1: they're bad against tight ends, they're they're great against wide receivers, 1047 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,880 Speaker 1: and they're kind of rough against the running backs. Uh 1048 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:37,320 Speaker 1: Teras Marshall Lavisca Chennault, by the way, squarely on your bench. 1049 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:41,319 Speaker 1: If you are absolutely desperate in the tight end waste land, 1050 00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,840 Speaker 1: you might see this matchup and salivate a little. The Seahawks, 1051 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:48,319 Speaker 1: uh just have allowed the second most receiving yards the 1052 00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,920 Speaker 1: eighth most touchdowns to tight ends on the year. But 1053 00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,360 Speaker 1: who are you going to pick between Tommy Tremble and 1054 00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:57,440 Speaker 1: Ian Thomas. Yeah, we're gonna leave them both on the bench. 1055 00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,120 Speaker 1: But I'd like to propose a new letter grade, a 1056 00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,439 Speaker 1: W grade for tight ends in the waste land. Whom 1057 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,879 Speaker 1: you can start in the tight end wasteland just from 1058 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:10,439 Speaker 1: a matchup perspective. In that case, it would be Ian 1059 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,520 Speaker 1: Thomas over Tommy Tremble for me on the other side, 1060 00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,800 Speaker 1: A lot of talk about Ian Thomas and Tommy Tremble. 1061 00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,520 Speaker 1: I just like to say Tommy Tremble more than I 1062 00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:22,000 Speaker 1: like to play Tommy Tremble. On the other side, Seattle's 1063 00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:26,240 Speaker 1: running back situation is an absolute mess. Kenneth Walker hasn't 1064 00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,959 Speaker 1: practiced all week with an ankle injury. He's a game 1065 00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,120 Speaker 1: time decision, but more on the doubtful side. Everybody rushed 1066 00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,920 Speaker 1: to pick up DJ Dallas this week. He also hasn't 1067 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:40,240 Speaker 1: participated in practice this week. That's the frequency Kenneth plays 1068 00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:43,960 Speaker 1: this week. UH DJ Dallas, also with an ankle injury, 1069 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,600 Speaker 1: hasn't played. He's also a game time decision. Travis Homer 1070 00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:52,000 Speaker 1: was hurt last week and inactive limited on Wednesday, full 1071 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 1: participant Thursday and Friday. He's likelier starter my hunches. Homer 1072 00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 1: is the only one of those three that's active, with 1073 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:04,280 Speaker 1: only Jones backing him up. If one of Walker or 1074 00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,280 Speaker 1: Dallas are active, I'd give them a C grade. If not, 1075 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,520 Speaker 1: I throw the C grade in the direction of Homer. 1076 00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,720 Speaker 1: The Panthers are allowing four point eight yards per carry. 1077 00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:14,840 Speaker 1: It's a good matchup. I just fear that there's no 1078 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,000 Speaker 1: clear choice in the backfield, or it could be a 1079 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 1: split between several guys. I'm team Tojoe. Oh no, I'm 1080 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:26,880 Speaker 1: I'm Travis Homer all the way, baby, your trohe toe 1081 00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:33,240 Speaker 1: Joe and Earl get this making a toe jam and 1082 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:37,600 Speaker 1: Earl moving away? What are the odds jamming? I know 1083 00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,680 Speaker 1: that's going to be exciting, Big Earl. Uh fire up 1084 00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 1: big Gino this week with a B grade. Multiple touchdown 1085 00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:49,040 Speaker 1: passes nine times in his last ten games, times nine times, 1086 00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 1: and he said two yards in four straight games. Carolina 1087 00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,200 Speaker 1: has good numbers against the quarterback position, but when you 1088 00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:57,439 Speaker 1: take a look at the list of quarterbacks they've played 1089 00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,680 Speaker 1: this year, it's just not very impressive. And I'm not 1090 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,880 Speaker 1: going to list them off. I gotta like DK Metcalf 1091 00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,800 Speaker 1: and Tyler Lockett as well. Both have either topped seventy 1092 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,800 Speaker 1: yards or scored both of them in five straight games. 1093 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,000 Speaker 1: That's consistency right there out of both of these wide receivers. 1094 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,360 Speaker 1: Last week against the Rams, Metcalf had a hundred and 1095 00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,520 Speaker 1: twenty seven yards in a score and then lock It 1096 00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,160 Speaker 1: was like, hey, hold my beer and he ended up 1097 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,000 Speaker 1: with a hundred and twenty eight yards in a score. 1098 00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,840 Speaker 1: Carolina allowing the sixth most receptions to the wide receiver 1099 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,520 Speaker 1: positions so far this year. With all the injuries in 1100 00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,760 Speaker 1: the backfield, I'm going to give twin a grades to 1101 00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,919 Speaker 1: both lock It and Metcalf this week. Not gonna start 1102 00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:40,480 Speaker 1: Noah Fant or how do you? How do you pronounce it? Brian? 1103 00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,919 Speaker 1: There we go. Despite Fant finding the end zone last week, 1104 00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,720 Speaker 1: it's still almost an equal time share. The Panthers have 1105 00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,360 Speaker 1: been pretty decent against the tight end this year. No 1106 00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:54,280 Speaker 1: tight end is scored against the Panthers since Kyle Pitts 1107 00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:57,000 Speaker 1: in Week eight, and it seems like he's been on 1108 00:59:57,160 --> 01:00:00,360 Speaker 1: i R for four months plus. According to Brian, he's 1109 01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:04,560 Speaker 1: not even a tight end anyway, It's apparently not exactly. 1110 01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:08,080 Speaker 1: When we come back, Vikings take on the Lions. This 1111 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:12,880 Speaker 1: is the weekend's highest over under points galore possibly here 1112 01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:15,720 Speaker 1: and the Lions favored, and the Lions are favored over 1113 01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,560 Speaker 1: the Ted win Minnesota. Vikings will talk you through when 1114 01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 1: we come back. Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, 1115 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,960 Speaker 1: A big block oh matchups for you. Paul Charchy and 1116 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,760 Speaker 1: Guillotine Leagues dot Com, Matt Harrison, Brian Johnson with you. 1117 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 1: You can follow us on Twitter. I'm at Paul Charchy 1118 01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,240 Speaker 1: and Matt is at Explosive. I'll put in Brian is 1119 01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,360 Speaker 1: at bt x J Vikings take on the Lions. Guys. 1120 01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:06,720 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson was held to a season low fourteen yards 1121 01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,840 Speaker 1: when these teams met last week. But you can't bench 1122 01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,600 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson based on what happened last time. He's too good. 1123 01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:16,680 Speaker 1: I'll note that he's been held under fifty yards and 1124 01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,120 Speaker 1: two of the last three, but I gotta believe the 1125 01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,080 Speaker 1: Vikings are gonna scheme ways to get the ball in 1126 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,160 Speaker 1: his hands and try to make a game that was 1127 01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,600 Speaker 1: very close last time a little bit more wide open 1128 01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,920 Speaker 1: for the Vikings and an A grade for Justin Jefferson. 1129 01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:30,840 Speaker 1: I can't find a reason to make him not in 1130 01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,560 Speaker 1: a grade other than the last time they met. The 1131 01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,680 Speaker 1: fourteen yards. T J. Hockinson potentially sitting on a very 1132 01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,680 Speaker 1: big game here. He's been targeted at least six times 1133 01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,520 Speaker 1: in every Vikings game and he's only scored once. But 1134 01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,240 Speaker 1: only Travis Kelsey and Dalton Schultz have more red zone 1135 01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:49,400 Speaker 1: targets than Hockinson does since his arrival, and Detroit has 1136 01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,640 Speaker 1: allowed the second most touchdowns the tight end, so I 1137 01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:53,720 Speaker 1: think there's a very good chance Hockinson gets in the 1138 01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:58,560 Speaker 1: end zone here. A grade on t J. Hockinson Adam 1139 01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:00,280 Speaker 1: feeling gets to see grade he posts and one of 1140 01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,800 Speaker 1: his best games of the year against Detroit when they 1141 01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,360 Speaker 1: sold out to stop Justin Jefferson. He had six catches 1142 01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,479 Speaker 1: sixty one yards in a touchdown. Over the last five weeks, 1143 01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,840 Speaker 1: the lines have allowed the second most receptions per game, 1144 01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:16,160 Speaker 1: the most yards per game, and six touchdowns in those 1145 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,520 Speaker 1: five weeks to opposing receivers. Those are all strong indicators 1146 01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:21,800 Speaker 1: that you can start Adam Feland this week. We'll give 1147 01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,800 Speaker 1: him a C grade here. So I've got a grades 1148 01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,120 Speaker 1: on Jefferson and Hockinson, a C grade on Feeling round 1149 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:31,320 Speaker 1: that together, we've gotta B grade on Kirk Cousins. The 1150 01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:34,760 Speaker 1: lines allowed the most fantasy points to quarterbacks, but a 1151 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,840 Speaker 1: lot of that's done by a rushing quarterbacks, like blow 1152 01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,480 Speaker 1: up games from Jalen Hurds and Josh Allen and Justin 1153 01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,720 Speaker 1: Fields and Daniel Jones. If you just look at through 1154 01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:45,720 Speaker 1: the air, which is all Cousins is likely to give 1155 01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:49,680 Speaker 1: us here. The lines are fairly competent secondary, allowing middle 1156 01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:51,440 Speaker 1: of the pack numbers two hundred fifty yards and one 1157 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,640 Speaker 1: and a half touchdowns per game since Week four, which 1158 01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:57,560 Speaker 1: is almost exactly what Cousins through four in the earlier matchup, 1159 01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,800 Speaker 1: two hundred sixty yards and two touchdowns. So in what 1160 01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 1: should be a shootout here, and I think we're gonna 1161 01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,880 Speaker 1: get north of forty attempts from Kirk Cousins, will give 1162 01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:09,840 Speaker 1: him a B grade. Dalvin Cook just to be grade 1163 01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,280 Speaker 1: here against a much improved Nobody's talking about this enough 1164 01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:15,800 Speaker 1: for all the things. People are talking about Lions and 1165 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:18,000 Speaker 1: why they're four and one over the last five games. 1166 01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:23,040 Speaker 1: Nobody talking about the improved run defense over those five games, 1167 01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,720 Speaker 1: giving up just three point seven yards per carry. No 1168 01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 1: back is top seventy two yards, and the lines have 1169 01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:34,200 Speaker 1: been very good against receiving backs, just giving up an 1170 01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:38,479 Speaker 1: average of three catches for twenty yards. Minnesota's left tackle 1171 01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,480 Speaker 1: Christian derris Saw is apparently going to be eligible to 1172 01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:43,960 Speaker 1: play in this game, but it is unclear if the 1173 01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,760 Speaker 1: Vikings are going to decide to play him as he 1174 01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:49,680 Speaker 1: tries to come back from his concussion. If he does 1175 01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:53,440 Speaker 1: not go, know that in two full games without his 1176 01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:58,080 Speaker 1: starting left tackle, Dalvin Cook is averaging three yards per carry. 1177 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,680 Speaker 1: Hopefully Christian Derrisaw will play in this game. All right, 1178 01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,280 Speaker 1: let's go over to the Detroit side. I want to 1179 01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,560 Speaker 1: begin with Jared Goff, who gets a top five grade 1180 01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,160 Speaker 1: in my weekly rankings available for free gate s Gillotine 1181 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,520 Speaker 1: leagues dot com. By the way, that's his highest grade 1182 01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:15,400 Speaker 1: of the year, and maybe really this might be the 1183 01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:18,600 Speaker 1: highest most optimistic rating I've given Jared Goff since he 1184 01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:24,000 Speaker 1: came to Detroit. The last six non he Nike quarterbacks 1185 01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:29,600 Speaker 1: to face Minnesota have passed four three D nine yards, 1186 01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,800 Speaker 1: three hundred twenty six yards, three hundred thirty yards, three 1187 01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:37,960 Speaker 1: hundred seven yards, three D two yards, and last week 1188 01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:41,040 Speaker 1: three hundred sixty nine yards. I think we can safely 1189 01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:45,440 Speaker 1: pencil in three hundred yards for Jared Goff. Starting cornerback 1190 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:48,440 Speaker 1: Cam Danceler returns from injured reserve, which does help bolster 1191 01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,800 Speaker 1: the Vikings secondary a bit. Golf's got phenomenal matchups that 1192 01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,959 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about here, especially particularly with Aman ross 1193 01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,440 Speaker 1: St Brown, who is an obvious A. He goes up 1194 01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:01,520 Speaker 1: against slot quarterback Chandon Sullivan and who owns Pro Football 1195 01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:07,760 Speaker 1: Focus is first ranking and coverage among cornerbacks. And I 1196 01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:09,920 Speaker 1: think we've got to the point now we can just 1197 01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:15,000 Speaker 1: say I'm on raw St Brown, obvious A d J. 1198 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,240 Speaker 1: Chark was might take a chance on me receiver will 1199 01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,120 Speaker 1: go with him here as well. And another ankle ankle 1200 01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:23,920 Speaker 1: excuse me, angle you'll want to watch because it does 1201 01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:26,320 Speaker 1: involve an ankle, DeAndre Swift, who does have a bit 1202 01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:29,120 Speaker 1: of an ankle issue. Um, finally getting enough snaps and 1203 01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:30,640 Speaker 1: touches where you can start to put him in your 1204 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:32,880 Speaker 1: lineup with a certain degree of confidence. I've got to 1205 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,240 Speaker 1: c grade on him here. Last week he saw its 1206 01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:39,120 Speaker 1: highest snaps, touches, receiving yards, and rushing yards since the 1207 01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:42,760 Speaker 1: opening week of the season, and Minnesota has been a 1208 01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:46,200 Speaker 1: fantasy gold mine for opposing running backs over their last 1209 01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,640 Speaker 1: three games, allowing at least eighty rushing yards and or 1210 01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:52,760 Speaker 1: multiple scores to three different backs, and they're giving up 1211 01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,800 Speaker 1: at least nine receptions to running backs in each of 1212 01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:58,800 Speaker 1: those three games. DeAndre Swift's gonna catch a lot of 1213 01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:02,120 Speaker 1: passes in this game. I was surprised you didn't mention 1214 01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,880 Speaker 1: Jamison Williams at all. Yeah, we are not going to 1215 01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,400 Speaker 1: give a that yet. I think he was on the 1216 01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:11,760 Speaker 1: field for two snaps on offense last week. Now, Matt, 1217 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,640 Speaker 1: didn't you say a couple of weeks ago that some 1218 01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,280 Speaker 1: god will be your wide receiver one next year, so 1219 01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:21,360 Speaker 1: you will pass on Justin Jefferson. I think I will. Yeah, 1220 01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,600 Speaker 1: I'm you can hold me to it. I don't, I don't, 1221 01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:26,200 Speaker 1: I don't hate it. I'm not getting I'm gonna put 1222 01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:28,400 Speaker 1: it out. I think it's it's possible. But let me 1223 01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:31,120 Speaker 1: just wrap this up with Jamal Williams. Okay, we'll we'll 1224 01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,000 Speaker 1: bump him up to a B grade if Swift doesn't go, 1225 01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:34,760 Speaker 1: but just to ce grade on um right here, Even 1226 01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,760 Speaker 1: with Swift getting more action, Williams still getting a healthy 1227 01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:41,640 Speaker 1: fifteen carries per game. And um obviously, as you guys 1228 01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:44,160 Speaker 1: already know, he leads the NFL in rushing touch all 1229 01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:47,040 Speaker 1: touchdowns and would get the ball anywhere near the stripes. 1230 01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,280 Speaker 1: So if for those of you looking for touchdowns, Jamal 1231 01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,240 Speaker 1: Williams still likely to get one here. The Vikings have 1232 01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,040 Speaker 1: given up a total of six scores two running backs 1233 01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:59,120 Speaker 1: over the last that that that the five games. I 1234 01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,120 Speaker 1: believe I've got this in my notes, five games for 1235 01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:05,240 Speaker 1: Jamal Williams, so very good chance for a touchdown for 1236 01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:08,360 Speaker 1: him as well. Let's go to Buccaneers taking on the 1237 01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:11,520 Speaker 1: forty Niners. Brian, there's a chance Letard four NET does 1238 01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:14,800 Speaker 1: not play in this game, in which case I'm a 1239 01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:18,360 Speaker 1: lot more interested in were shot White. Yeah, I would 1240 01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,760 Speaker 1: uh I had them both on the bench to be honest, 1241 01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 1: if they both played. Yeah, But if four NET misses 1242 01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:26,560 Speaker 1: this game, I will give White uh ce And it 1243 01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:28,480 Speaker 1: sounds likely that four NET will sit, so we'll go. 1244 01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:31,480 Speaker 1: We'll go under that assumption for now. But the forty 1245 01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:34,400 Speaker 1: Niners are allowing the fewest Comboy yards to opposing running 1246 01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:37,040 Speaker 1: backs eighty seven per game. That's rushing and receiving, and 1247 01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:38,680 Speaker 1: that's not good. And they have just and they have 1248 01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:43,120 Speaker 1: surrendered just five total touchdowns to the positions. So again 1249 01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,000 Speaker 1: a C for White if four NET is out. But 1250 01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,840 Speaker 1: if they both play like they did last week, they 1251 01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,480 Speaker 1: they virtually split the work last week and and and 1252 01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:52,640 Speaker 1: this is a much worse matchup. So if for NET 1253 01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:55,120 Speaker 1: plays are both on the bench for NET out, see 1254 01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,880 Speaker 1: for White, I gotta be on Chris Godwin. Though since 1255 01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:00,720 Speaker 1: Week nine, Godwin his average levin tar gets per game 1256 01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:04,200 Speaker 1: and is clearly Brady's top receiving option. This is a 1257 01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,160 Speaker 1: somewhat usual matchup for him. Safety Jimmy Ward has been 1258 01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,960 Speaker 1: manning the slot for the forty nine or since returning 1259 01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,680 Speaker 1: in Week five. Ward has allowed to touchdown in five 1260 01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:16,719 Speaker 1: straight hasn't allowed to touchdown I'm sorry, in five straight games. 1261 01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:20,680 Speaker 1: But he owns a massive catch rate, highest among all 1262 01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:24,439 Speaker 1: defensive backs, so Godwin should have a safe pp PPR 1263 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,960 Speaker 1: floor per usual. Uh, Mike Evans has been anything but safe, 1264 01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:31,400 Speaker 1: just to see for him. Since Week nine, his target 1265 01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:33,680 Speaker 1: share has been less than seventeen percent, which is not 1266 01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:38,599 Speaker 1: good at all. San Francisco's boundary cornerbacks are good. Both 1267 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:42,839 Speaker 1: Diamador Lenor and Chervarious Ward own a sub ninety passer 1268 01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:45,280 Speaker 1: rating in their coverage and have combined to allow just 1269 01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,360 Speaker 1: two scores all season. So just to the sea for Evans, 1270 01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:51,439 Speaker 1: I got Julio Jones on the bench. Julio hasn't caught 1271 01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:54,080 Speaker 1: more than three balls in any game he's played this year, 1272 01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:56,200 Speaker 1: and this certainly isn't the spot for him to break out. 1273 01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:00,920 Speaker 1: And lastly for Tampa Bay, Tom Brady in homecoming game 1274 01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:08,439 Speaker 1: on the bench. Yeah. Brady currently thirty second in Fantasy 1275 01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:12,280 Speaker 1: points per drop back among quarterbacks and the forty Niners 1276 01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:15,799 Speaker 1: have allowed the fifth fewest fantasy points to the position. 1277 01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:18,960 Speaker 1: So you do the math, it's it's not a good 1278 01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,200 Speaker 1: spot for Brady. There are better options out there this 1279 01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,400 Speaker 1: week than him, so he's on the bench. There aren't 1280 01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:27,559 Speaker 1: many better options than Christian McCaffrey though, so going over 1281 01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:30,759 Speaker 1: the side he gets an a. The Bucks run defense 1282 01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:33,720 Speaker 1: has returned to form over their last five games. Only 1283 01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,960 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb has managed to top sixty five rushing yards 1284 01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:40,160 Speaker 1: against Tampa, but the Bucks are top three in receptions 1285 01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:43,120 Speaker 1: and receiving yards allowed to backs. Top three in the 1286 01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:46,680 Speaker 1: most receptions and receiving yards allowed to backs, and McCaffrey 1287 01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:49,400 Speaker 1: saw ten targets from brock Purty last week. We should 1288 01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:51,240 Speaker 1: be leaning on him again in this game, but and 1289 01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:53,760 Speaker 1: then there should be work for another running back. I 1290 01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:56,559 Speaker 1: went with Tyrean Davis Price last week. I was long. 1291 01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,479 Speaker 1: Hopefully you're right this week Church and Jordan Mason watch 1292 01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:01,760 Speaker 1: it go to t DP. But no, Mason is the 1293 01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:03,600 Speaker 1: guy to target if you're looking for to play a 1294 01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,679 Speaker 1: backup r name back for San Francisco. So as you said, 1295 01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:08,639 Speaker 1: he was here to take a chance of me running back, 1296 01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,400 Speaker 1: and sadly you're you're pretty much taking a chance on 1297 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:14,800 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel at this point, just to see for him. 1298 01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:17,240 Speaker 1: It's been a down year for Deebo, who has just 1299 01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:22,000 Speaker 1: one finish inside the top three wide receivers since weeks seven. 1300 01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,559 Speaker 1: He did see a twenty five percent target share last week, 1301 01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:29,200 Speaker 1: so he looks healthy often he did, but this is 1302 01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:31,680 Speaker 1: a bad matchup for a player who relies heavily on 1303 01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:34,600 Speaker 1: yards after the catch. The Bucks ranked eighth in the 1304 01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:38,360 Speaker 1: fewest yak allowed too wide receivers this year, so the 1305 01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,479 Speaker 1: cee for Diebo, and it's a cee for Brandon Nayuk 1306 01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:44,599 Speaker 1: as well. Tampa's corner duo of Jamal Dean and Carlton 1307 01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:46,840 Speaker 1: Davis are legit, but they have faltered a bit over 1308 01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:48,920 Speaker 1: the last two weeks, as both have allowed at least 1309 01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:51,160 Speaker 1: ninety yards and coverage and consecutive games. So you can 1310 01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,080 Speaker 1: start a Yuk. Certainly start George Kittle in the tight 1311 01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,360 Speaker 1: end waste land. He gets a b great match up 1312 01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:58,439 Speaker 1: here against the Bucks, who have allowed the fourth most 1313 01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:00,560 Speaker 1: fantasy points to tight ends of the sea. And and 1314 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,160 Speaker 1: I've also given up a tight end touchdown in two 1315 01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:07,120 Speaker 1: straight games. And lastly, Brock Purty might take a chance 1316 01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:09,519 Speaker 1: at the quarterback. I like the I like the matchup 1317 01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:12,040 Speaker 1: through the air for McCaffrey and Kittle, and you know 1318 01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:14,599 Speaker 1: Samuel and now you can get something done for sure 1319 01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:20,880 Speaker 1: to Yeah, Mr Irrelevant will be relevant. Look after this game. 1320 01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:25,559 Speaker 1: He looked shockingly prepared for the moment last week. We'll 1321 01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:26,920 Speaker 1: see if he can make it two in a row 1322 01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:31,960 Speaker 1: when we come back our final edition, a premature speculation 1323 01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:36,120 Speaker 1: of the entire year coming up next. The last set 1324 01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:38,080 Speaker 1: of guys that you'll want to pick up in advance 1325 01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:40,280 Speaker 1: of the rest of your league. When we return for 1326 01:11:40,360 --> 01:12:09,320 Speaker 1: the final segment a Fantasy Football Weekly. Final segment Fantasy 1327 01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:12,280 Speaker 1: Football Weekly, Paul Charchi and Matt Harrison, Brian Johnson with you. 1328 01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:19,760 Speaker 1: This is a segment we call premature speculation for the 1329 01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:23,840 Speaker 1: brand new times. You know what I've seen three point oh. 1330 01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:26,519 Speaker 1: I think that's four point oh. But I think that 1331 01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:29,920 Speaker 1: we should have a new time machine like every so often. 1332 01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:34,799 Speaker 1: Thank you. This is a straight from like Yards Revenge 1333 01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:36,960 Speaker 1: or something like that. Those sounds like sound effects from 1334 01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:40,160 Speaker 1: like eight different Nintendo games, like blended together. He got 1335 01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:43,480 Speaker 1: the right idea that there's some jealous there's some defender 1336 01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:48,280 Speaker 1: in here, and some missile commanding a hat to Eugene Jarvis. Christmas. 1337 01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:53,120 Speaker 1: Christmas came early. Dolphins. Oh, premature speculation. When we get 1338 01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,479 Speaker 1: to the Dolphins game, of course, we spent so much 1339 01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:59,160 Speaker 1: time talking about the sound. Who's your premature speculation player, Matt, 1340 01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:03,200 Speaker 1: I've Jerick McKinnon. The Chiefs have something to play for 1341 01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:05,639 Speaker 1: as they go down the stretch. Home field vantage definitely 1342 01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:07,320 Speaker 1: in play for them, but they want to make sure 1343 01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:10,879 Speaker 1: they project protect some of their assets there for the playoffs. 1344 01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,960 Speaker 1: And would it surprise you if Isaiah Pochecko and Jerick 1345 01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:17,559 Speaker 1: McKinnon were splitting snaps down the stretch. I mean they're 1346 01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:21,200 Speaker 1: already doing it. McKinnon had of the snaps last week 1347 01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:24,560 Speaker 1: and went to Potcheco. Would it surprise you if the 1348 01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:28,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs ran the ball a lot against Houston next week, 1349 01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:31,800 Speaker 1: or Seattle the week after that, or Denver in your 1350 01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:35,519 Speaker 1: fantasy championship Houston Seattle brutal against the run. I think 1351 01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:37,920 Speaker 1: McKinnon can be a guy who can really help you 1352 01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:40,559 Speaker 1: on the bench and and maybe get some starting grades 1353 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:44,720 Speaker 1: if necessary some injuries hit. All right, Bryan, you take 1354 01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:48,120 Speaker 1: a chance on me player. I'll go with Tennessee's your 1355 01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:55,280 Speaker 1: premature speculation. Pay I'll go with Dontrell Hilliard. You just 1356 01:13:55,439 --> 01:14:01,280 Speaker 1: want to do that? There I played in my life. 1357 01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:04,000 Speaker 1: You're you're gonna listen to that on the way home 1358 01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:07,880 Speaker 1: from the studio, aren't you in your car? Brian? I'll 1359 01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:10,559 Speaker 1: go with Dontrell Hilliard, Tennessee's backup running back. We mentioned 1360 01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,240 Speaker 1: the cake schedule for Derrick Henry, and heaven forbid something 1361 01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:15,920 Speaker 1: happens to Henry. You could be sitting on a potential 1362 01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:19,679 Speaker 1: league winner, and the Titans had a history of league 1363 01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:23,040 Speaker 1: winners popping out of nowhere. Remember Billy Volick and Drew Bennett's. 1364 01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:27,160 Speaker 1: Remember that White was wasn't he He was a Texan? 1365 01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:30,000 Speaker 1: Wasn't he was on the Titans. But I don't think 1366 01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,040 Speaker 1: you put up any lady. Oh he did that guy 1367 01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:35,360 Speaker 1: he had a huge playoffs And who was the other 1368 01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,280 Speaker 1: big fat guy? The Ron Dane did it. That was 1369 01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:40,760 Speaker 1: the Texans. That was the Texans. Sure, that's what I'm thinking, 1370 01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:44,400 Speaker 1: So history might repeat itself. Dontrell Hilliard again, that schedule 1371 01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:46,640 Speaker 1: way too easy. Can throw a bonus one out for 1372 01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:51,639 Speaker 1: deeper leagues, deep leagues. Dwayne Washington. He's likely the backup 1373 01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,800 Speaker 1: running back for the Saints with mark ingram Is out 1374 01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:57,439 Speaker 1: and they're on by this week the Saints are, but 1375 01:14:57,640 --> 01:14:59,920 Speaker 1: week fifteen they at the Falcons and then the Browns 1376 01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:02,880 Speaker 1: week sixteen, those are two very good matchups. Kamara looks 1377 01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:05,920 Speaker 1: kind of cooked, uninspired, so maybe they don't give Dwayne 1378 01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:07,840 Speaker 1: Washington some run. So if you're in a deeper league, 1379 01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:10,360 Speaker 1: he could be a warm body to target. My final 1380 01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:17,960 Speaker 1: premature speculation is Tennessee tightened tight end chig O quank Wu, 1381 01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:21,920 Speaker 1: who has He's a rookie who has suddenly surged to life, 1382 01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:24,160 Speaker 1: isn't It takes rookies a long time at the tight 1383 01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:29,240 Speaker 1: end position normally, but he is surging of late anyway. 1384 01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:32,880 Speaker 1: Yards per route run, Chig is number one among tight 1385 01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:36,200 Speaker 1: ends yards per reception, number one against tight ends. Yard 1386 01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:39,479 Speaker 1: targets per route run, he's number three among tight ends. 1387 01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:42,280 Speaker 1: You're always looking for young, good tight ends who could develop. 1388 01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:44,559 Speaker 1: One of the things I like about chig O quank 1389 01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:48,240 Speaker 1: Wu and his opportunity there is there's hardly anybody else 1390 01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:51,759 Speaker 1: left to catch a pass. It's good opportunity trailing Burt's 1391 01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:53,760 Speaker 1: hurt at the moment, but even looking beyond that, even 1392 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,000 Speaker 1: in the next year, this is a team that does 1393 01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:58,840 Speaker 1: not have a plethora of options. And if anybody's going 1394 01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:03,280 Speaker 1: to be the new John U. Smith for the Tennessee Titans, 1395 01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:07,320 Speaker 1: and there's some decent draft capital there. He was drafted 1396 01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:08,920 Speaker 1: in the fourth round. It's not like he was a 1397 01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:11,040 Speaker 1: nobody walk on or anything like that, you're gonna call 1398 01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:14,519 Speaker 1: him Chig Chig like John John. I might, I might 1399 01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:17,800 Speaker 1: if it turns out love And uh, you know what 1400 01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:20,719 Speaker 1: we're gonna love is the Dolphins taking on the Chargers. 1401 01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:23,280 Speaker 1: Chargers have the terrible run defense, But what do you 1402 01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:27,000 Speaker 1: make of the weird backfield we got last week from 1403 01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:30,760 Speaker 1: the Dolphins out of nowhere? Yeah, I'm gonna chuck it 1404 01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:34,639 Speaker 1: up to the Niners are amazing against the run. Last week, 1405 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,640 Speaker 1: the Dolphins basically abandoned the run against the Niners. They 1406 01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:39,280 Speaker 1: have one of the best run defenses in the league, 1407 01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:41,080 Speaker 1: and if you started Jeff Wilson, you were treated to 1408 01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:45,479 Speaker 1: do one carry for three yards. Yikes. Mostard ended up 1409 01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:47,920 Speaker 1: with seven carries for thirty yards. Both of them were 1410 01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,719 Speaker 1: in a revenge game. Kind of sucked that that didn't 1411 01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:53,759 Speaker 1: work out, but we're gonna throw that game out completely, 1412 01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:55,960 Speaker 1: especially when you consider the Chargers are one of the 1413 01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,800 Speaker 1: worst run defenses in the league. They're allowing a league 1414 01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:02,200 Speaker 1: high five points six yards per carry to opposing backs, 1415 01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:06,040 Speaker 1: and opposing runners are combining for a hundred and sixty 1416 01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:09,519 Speaker 1: combo yards and one in a quarter touchdowns per game. 1417 01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:13,120 Speaker 1: The Dolphins did use both Mostert and Wilson on the 1418 01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:16,160 Speaker 1: field on this at the same time in about a 1419 01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:19,280 Speaker 1: dozen plays last week, so I expect both to be 1420 01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:22,400 Speaker 1: heavily involved here. I'll give them both B grades this week. 1421 01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:25,200 Speaker 1: I like that's bold, and I like it. I think 1422 01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:28,599 Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson. If I I'm not a DFS player, If 1423 01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:32,559 Speaker 1: I were, i'd be Nobody's. Nobody's going on Jeff Wilson today, 1424 01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:34,519 Speaker 1: and I love this matchup, and I think the bounce 1425 01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:36,960 Speaker 1: back is coming. That's kind of a little Decker theory there, 1426 01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:40,519 Speaker 1: BRAND think just a little bit, all right. And the 1427 01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:43,679 Speaker 1: passing game, there's been a lot of injuries to those guys. 1428 01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,479 Speaker 1: To has been limited in practice all week with an 1429 01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:49,040 Speaker 1: ankle injury. He sustained the injury late in the game 1430 01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:52,320 Speaker 1: against San Francisco last week. Didn't return, but the Dolphins 1431 01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:54,120 Speaker 1: said he could have came back if the game wasn't 1432 01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:57,280 Speaker 1: out of hand. Tyreek did not practice on Thursday or 1433 01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:00,439 Speaker 1: Friday with an illness, and Jalen Waddle had a shin 1434 01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:04,160 Speaker 1: injury ash injury if you smosh it, but he returned 1435 01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:07,280 Speaker 1: to practice Thursday. That being said, I expect all three 1436 01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,559 Speaker 1: of them to go, and I will give all three 1437 01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:12,439 Speaker 1: of them A grades. The Chargers are middle of the 1438 01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,080 Speaker 1: pack in most categories against the past, but the glaring 1439 01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:19,080 Speaker 1: weakness against throwers. They've allowed the seventh most passing touchdowns 1440 01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:22,600 Speaker 1: on the year. That's where to A and Waddle and 1441 01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:26,120 Speaker 1: he'll all make their money, leaving Mike gisicky on the 1442 01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:28,320 Speaker 1: bench because he hasn't caught a pass since Week ten. 1443 01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:31,880 Speaker 1: On the other side, I like that tight end a 1444 01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,080 Speaker 1: lot better. Gerald Everett was might take a chance on 1445 01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:37,000 Speaker 1: me tight end. He gets a solid B grade here. 1446 01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:41,879 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen and Justin air Bear are both eight grades 1447 01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:44,360 Speaker 1: in this one. This looks like it could be a 1448 01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:46,960 Speaker 1: track meet this week, so game script should favor the 1449 01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:49,559 Speaker 1: passing game. Alan has been pretty good since his Week 1450 01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:52,320 Speaker 1: eleven returned ninety four yards in his first game back, 1451 01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:55,160 Speaker 1: touchdowns in each of the last two games, and since 1452 01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:57,400 Speaker 1: Alan came back, air Bear has been at his best 1453 01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:00,080 Speaker 1: at least two seventy four yards in every game and 1454 01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:02,880 Speaker 1: six touchdown passes in those three games. Since he came back. 1455 01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:06,040 Speaker 1: The Dolphins are giving up the eleventh most passing yards 1456 01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:09,280 Speaker 1: and passing touchdowns per game at about two fifty and 1457 01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:12,680 Speaker 1: one point six per contest. Plus, it's the first time 1458 01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:16,479 Speaker 1: we're gonna see Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, and Josh Palmer 1459 01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:19,479 Speaker 1: all on the field in the same game. Mike Williams 1460 01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:22,680 Speaker 1: set to make his return as well. His injury was 1461 01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:25,439 Speaker 1: an ankle. Last time he missed a couple of weeks, 1462 01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:29,479 Speaker 1: came back, injured it again after six snats. I can't 1463 01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:33,040 Speaker 1: start him. He's missed two weeks again coming back. He 1464 01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,680 Speaker 1: was a full go in practice this week. But I'm 1465 01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:37,320 Speaker 1: only going to give him a see here. I think 1466 01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:41,040 Speaker 1: it's the track meet scenario, but it's it's buyer beware 1467 01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,680 Speaker 1: on Mike Williams here. I will give Josh Palmer a 1468 01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:46,240 Speaker 1: CE start as well. Mike Williams kind of hurts Josh 1469 01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:49,000 Speaker 1: Palmer a little bit, but he's a high risk, high 1470 01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:52,360 Speaker 1: reward play and he was targeted eleven times last week. 1471 01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:55,960 Speaker 1: So if if Williams tweaks that ankle, it's it's full 1472 01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:58,040 Speaker 1: goal for Palmer, and Palmer would probably be a B 1473 01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:02,799 Speaker 1: grade if Mike Williams wasn't available here. Finally, Austin Ekeler 1474 01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:05,679 Speaker 1: my last player to preview of the week, and I'll 1475 01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,920 Speaker 1: give him the art vark in this one. It's fantastic. Yeah. 1476 01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:13,599 Speaker 1: While Miami has held opposing backs to only sixty nine 1477 01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:18,240 Speaker 1: rushing yards per game, they're not great at covering receiving backs. 1478 01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:22,479 Speaker 1: Their bottom eleven in receptions, receiving yards and scores allowed 1479 01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:25,640 Speaker 1: to the position, and that includes eight catches for eight 1480 01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:30,200 Speaker 1: yards and a receiving score for Christian McCaffrey just last week, 1481 01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:34,000 Speaker 1: like Austin Ekeler to do the same thing. Nice matchup 1482 01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:37,680 Speaker 1: for Austin Ekeler likely incoming here. Our final matchup of 1483 01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:41,360 Speaker 1: the show is the Patriots taking onto the Cardinals. Um, 1484 01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:44,439 Speaker 1: I'm actually I've actually got some optimism for this passing 1485 01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:48,040 Speaker 1: game of the Patriots. Highest letter grade I've given Mac 1486 01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:51,160 Speaker 1: Jones all season with a B grade coming into this matchup. 1487 01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:55,720 Speaker 1: I think a spot starter against weaker defenses like this Arizona. 1488 01:20:55,800 --> 01:21:01,720 Speaker 1: Before last week's by Arizona was blasted by Justin a 1489 01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:07,040 Speaker 1: Bear and Jimmy grind Seven touched when you stopped and said, Justin, 1490 01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:10,040 Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna hit the fields button. But 1491 01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:13,320 Speaker 1: we have two Justin buttons on our button bar. It's great. 1492 01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:17,080 Speaker 1: Over the past six games, only John Wolford has failed 1493 01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:20,320 Speaker 1: to throw multiple touchdowns against Arizona, and Wolford through one 1494 01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,640 Speaker 1: the Cardinals own ProFootball focus ranks of twenty one and 1495 01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:27,160 Speaker 1: pass coverage twenty and pass rush. Mac Jones potentially sitting 1496 01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:30,760 Speaker 1: on a nice game here now. Two weeks ago. Mac 1497 01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:33,320 Speaker 1: Jones is great against the Vikings. He flopped last week. 1498 01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:35,040 Speaker 1: I think he comes back with a good game. Here. 1499 01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:38,160 Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers gets a B grade. I love this matchup. 1500 01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:44,160 Speaker 1: He's gonna face linebacker turned safety turned slot cornerback Isaiah Simmons. 1501 01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:47,559 Speaker 1: While the Cardinals allowed the tenth fewest yards receivers, they've 1502 01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:51,160 Speaker 1: surrendered the ninth most receptions. Simmons has allowed the second 1503 01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:55,639 Speaker 1: highest reception percentage among all cornerbacks and the ninth most 1504 01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:58,720 Speaker 1: total receptions in his coverage. It's a great opportunity for 1505 01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:03,160 Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers, who's normally like fifty five yards on five catches. 1506 01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:06,320 Speaker 1: He's really it's more the system than him, though. He's 1507 01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,040 Speaker 1: a really good wide receiver free agent this year. By 1508 01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:11,320 Speaker 1: the way, if he lands in like a high octane offense, 1509 01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:14,479 Speaker 1: I'm he's the guy I would target in Dynasty in 1510 01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:18,120 Speaker 1: the off season in the event that happens. DeVante Parker 1511 01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:20,720 Speaker 1: with a rare letter grade. Who about a CEE for 1512 01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:23,800 Speaker 1: DeVante Parker finally helped he is. I know over the 1513 01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:27,160 Speaker 1: last two games he's been the Patriots snap leader at 1514 01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:29,760 Speaker 1: wide out back to back games. He's just one game 1515 01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:33,040 Speaker 1: removed from leading the team in receiving yardage. Arizona will 1516 01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:37,080 Speaker 1: sometimes have their best cornerback, Byron Murphy shadow and opposing 1517 01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:39,720 Speaker 1: number one receiver, but I don't think DeVante Parker is 1518 01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:42,680 Speaker 1: good enough for that. So I think Byron Murphy is 1519 01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:44,360 Speaker 1: gonna play one side of the field, which is what 1520 01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:46,360 Speaker 1: he does in about half of the games, and that 1521 01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:50,000 Speaker 1: means Savante Parker can be on Marco Wilson, who is awful. 1522 01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:52,639 Speaker 1: He's allowed touchdowns in two of the past three games, 1523 01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:55,360 Speaker 1: and that would be your angle for DeVante Parker and 1524 01:22:55,479 --> 01:23:00,960 Speaker 1: a C grade there. Ramandre Stevenson is He's kind of 1525 01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:03,639 Speaker 1: a potential league winner here throughout really this whole season. 1526 01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,760 Speaker 1: Damian Harris not expected to play in this game. Uh. 1527 01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:11,720 Speaker 1: Stevenson played every snap but one last week and over 1528 01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:15,120 Speaker 1: the last three games. Arizona allowing sixty five rushing yards 1529 01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:16,840 Speaker 1: per game to opposing running backs, which is not a 1530 01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:19,719 Speaker 1: lot um. It's a different story through the air, though, 1531 01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:23,439 Speaker 1: where they're coughing up over eight receptions in sixty two 1532 01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:27,400 Speaker 1: receiving yards per game over that span. Remondre Stevenson's a 1533 01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:30,160 Speaker 1: way better receiver than people think. Where would you guess 1534 01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:35,320 Speaker 1: Romandre Stevenson is among running backs in receptions. I have 1535 01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:37,320 Speaker 1: him in a lot of leagues. So I'm gonna say 1536 01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:42,519 Speaker 1: he's top seven, three, top three, he's fourth. Remondre Stevenson, 1537 01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:44,840 Speaker 1: Nobody thinks about him as an elite pass catching back, 1538 01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:47,800 Speaker 1: but he kind of is. Is it crazy to say? 1539 01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:51,320 Speaker 1: Watching him, he reminds me of priest homes a little bit. 1540 01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:56,120 Speaker 1: They got like similar build they moved the same. Yeah, 1541 01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,320 Speaker 1: maybe there's a little something there. I think priests had 1542 01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:02,120 Speaker 1: an explosiveness that Stephenson does not have. But yeah, there 1543 01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:04,640 Speaker 1: might be a little something there. I think I think 1544 01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,120 Speaker 1: Stevenson's got a little more power than priest had, But 1545 01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:09,040 Speaker 1: he was a priest, was a special back for that 1546 01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:11,760 Speaker 1: narrow window of like three years where he was unbelievable, 1547 01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:14,720 Speaker 1: an amazing offensive line to Yeah that was Hall of 1548 01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:17,960 Speaker 1: Favor Willie rof and yeah, that was Those guys were unbelievable. 1549 01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:20,639 Speaker 1: Let's go to the Arizona side. Um, I'm gonna start 1550 01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:24,360 Speaker 1: with the wide receivers, DeAndre Hopkins. We'll see usually stout 1551 01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:27,600 Speaker 1: cornerback Jonathan Jones. But I say usually because he struggled 1552 01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:31,000 Speaker 1: lately and we've seen other number one receivers beat him up. 1553 01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,360 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, Stefon Diggs went to town on those on 1554 01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:38,519 Speaker 1: on Jonathan Jones. So I still like Hopkins here. Um 1555 01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:42,840 Speaker 1: he hasn't had to share many targets yet this year, 1556 01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:46,040 Speaker 1: and with Marquis Brown now back and fully healthy, there's 1557 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:47,840 Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit more of that. So I've 1558 01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:50,120 Speaker 1: got the B grade on DeAndre Hopkins and which should 1559 01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:52,280 Speaker 1: be a safe start, but maybe not an explosive one. 1560 01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:55,240 Speaker 1: I've also got a B grade and Marquis Brown. He 1561 01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:57,600 Speaker 1: he runs from the right side of the field and 1562 01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:00,960 Speaker 1: the slot, and that means he's gonna void Jonathan Jones 1563 01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:03,479 Speaker 1: and he gets the easier matchups with Jack Jones and 1564 01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:07,200 Speaker 1: Miles Bryant at cornerback. They're just decent, middle of the 1565 01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:11,400 Speaker 1: road guys, and they're very slow for their positions. Cornerbacks. 1566 01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:13,639 Speaker 1: They run a four One of them runs a four four, 1567 01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:15,280 Speaker 1: sorry at four five, and the other one runs a 1568 01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:18,880 Speaker 1: four six. Marky's Brown is fast and there's a chance 1569 01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:22,160 Speaker 1: for some big plays here. B grade on Markis Brown. 1570 01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:24,960 Speaker 1: It's a lot of jones Is on the Patriots more 1571 01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,400 Speaker 1: than the Jaguars and Jones. It is a lot of 1572 01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:31,640 Speaker 1: keeping up with the Joneses. The dart throw play with 1573 01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:35,680 Speaker 1: Rondell Moore out is Gregor He's been very playable in 1574 01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:37,519 Speaker 1: the games that Ron del Moore has missed, and I 1575 01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:40,840 Speaker 1: like him here. Last time we saw him before thumb 1576 01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:43,000 Speaker 1: injury was Week eleven, when he filled in for more 1577 01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:45,760 Speaker 1: and put up a hundred nine yards. He's got a 1578 01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:49,000 Speaker 1: slightly positive matchup in the slot. I like Greg Dorche 1579 01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:51,600 Speaker 1: if you're looking for a an angle here, and then 1580 01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:53,400 Speaker 1: let's that brings us to Kyler Murray. I've got a 1581 01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:55,000 Speaker 1: bunch of B and C grades, so I like Murray. 1582 01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:57,840 Speaker 1: He's a B grade. The Patriots have a good past 1583 01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:02,120 Speaker 1: defense but has been yielding to non backup grade quarterbacks. 1584 01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:05,240 Speaker 1: If you throw out starts by Sam Ellinger and Zack Wilson, 1585 01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:08,360 Speaker 1: the Patriots have allow yards and two and a half 1586 01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:11,320 Speaker 1: touchdowns per game since Week eight. I'll take two nine 1587 01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:13,040 Speaker 1: two and two and a half from Kyler Murray in 1588 01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:15,840 Speaker 1: a second. We'll give him a B grade here, and 1589 01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:20,240 Speaker 1: that leaves us with James Conner. Before the bye, I 1590 01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:22,160 Speaker 1: thought he looked pretty good, but this is a very 1591 01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:25,120 Speaker 1: tough matchup. New England is a fantasy waste land for 1592 01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:30,600 Speaker 1: opposing running backs, ranking top seven and rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, receptions, 1593 01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:33,599 Speaker 1: and receiving touchdowns. Allowed to running back, so there's there's 1594 01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:35,880 Speaker 1: no real angle here for James Conner to have a 1595 01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:38,800 Speaker 1: lot of success. The Patriots have only allowed one back 1596 01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:42,040 Speaker 1: to reach seventy five rushing yards against them all year, 1597 01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:44,320 Speaker 1: so I think James Conner is sitting on a very 1598 01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:48,200 Speaker 1: modest game and just a C grade for James Conner. 1599 01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:51,519 Speaker 1: I was sad there was no episode of Hard Knocks 1600 01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:55,599 Speaker 1: this week with the Cardinals, probably because of the by 1601 01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:57,680 Speaker 1: but I liked the behind the scenes stuff more than 1602 01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:00,800 Speaker 1: the game. If I want to watch football, I'll watch 1603 01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:02,760 Speaker 1: a football game out. But so that was sad there 1604 01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:05,040 Speaker 1: was no so HBO. If you're listening, do better next, 1605 01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,000 Speaker 1: do better with that? Baker Mayfield do anything for you. 1606 01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,040 Speaker 1: From a fantasy standpoint, based on what we saw in 1607 01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:13,519 Speaker 1: this offense, I think he's interesting for sure. There's a 1608 01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:16,240 Speaker 1: non zero chance that we've seen the last of Matthew 1609 01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:19,520 Speaker 1: Stafford in the NFL. He's dealing with head neck injuries. 1610 01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:23,120 Speaker 1: His wife came out on Twitter and said stuff about 1611 01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:26,280 Speaker 1: retirement kind of alluded to it. I think we might 1612 01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:28,439 Speaker 1: have seen the last of Matthew Stafford. And the Rams 1613 01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,479 Speaker 1: don't have a draft pick in the first in the 1614 01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:34,120 Speaker 1: in the first round. So Baker Mayfield might be your 1615 01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:36,200 Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the Rams next year. He'll be a 1616 01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,240 Speaker 1: free agent.
