12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,879

13
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: most people are gonna hear this after the Friday game. Yes,

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: for us, we're recording shortly before the Friday game, so

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna cover all the Sunday action the Monday night game.

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: We won't touch on the Friday one, but we have

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: so much to get to.

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 3: We already did the Friday preview in last week's episode

19
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 3: by the right at the end.

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: So great point.

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: So we want to listen to our friend Matteo do

22
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: the Friday Brazil game.

23
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: Great, he's there, great point. Take a chance on me.

24
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: Also coming up we get our first take a chance

25
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: on me's of the year nine players not your normally

26
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 1: in your starting lineup. We'll cover some of our favorite

27
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: sleepers for the week. We'll answer three tough questions and

28
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: will unveil the first premature speculation and Thor at this

29
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: time last year, one year ago, the premature speculation that

30
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: you gave out in week number one leading into the

31
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: first weekend of games, who is your wide receiver? It was, yeah, baby,

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: Now you could do this show for twenty more years.

33
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: I will, and you're not gonna hit that any one

34
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: better than that one.

35
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going under the bar the rest of the time,

36
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 4: but we're gonna do our best today.

37
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 3: You know. By the way, I got to bring up

38
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: some internal beef on the show. I claimed my premature

39
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: speculation guy, Yeah, and Thor said no, he's my guy,

40
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: because every rookie belongs to Thor from here on out,

41
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: they're all his and if they ever were a rookie

42
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: at any time in their career, it's Thorsky.

43
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 4: Now, Matt Harrison's all over the Thor timeline, as you

44
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 4: guys will see when you get to take a chance on.

45
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: Me, all right, And I don't know who your guy

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: is yet we'll find out. We'll unveil it at the

47
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: end of the show or near the end of the show.

48
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: I'll let you guess. But what year he's in. I

49
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: know he's a rookie. Let's let's we have fourteen games

50
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: to get that. We're gonna break them all down every

51
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: meaningful player letter grades on the mall, ABC's or bench

52
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: letter grades. We begin with the Arizona Cardinals at the

53
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Thoor. This one is yours, and it's the

54
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: debut of Marvin Harrison.

55
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 4: Sure is, and he's one of our two or three

56
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 4: must starts in my opinion. On the Cardinals side, Kyler

57
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 4: Murray I think is a mustar. Marvin Harrison Junior begins

58
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: his career as a mus start, and of course Trey

59
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 4: McBride also a must start.

60
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 5: James Connor, I'm gonna give him a B for this matchup.

61
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 4: Last year top eight and explosive run rate, misstackles, force

62
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 4: per attempt, and yards after contact per attempt. He is

63
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: going to hold off Trey Benson for just a little

64
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 4: bit here, but certainly in this game. Bill's run defense

65
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: was bottom seven in explosive run rate en yards after

66
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 4: contact per attempt last year, So a decent matchup for

67
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 4: James Connor. Michael Wilson going to give him a CEE.

68
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 4: He was a top twenty four wide receiver three different

69
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 4: games last year as a rookie, finished his wide receiver

70
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 4: fifty seven in Fantasy points per game. Better situation for

71
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 4: him this year as the third banana in an NFL

72
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: passing game. That was his destiny all along, and that's

73
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: what he's going to be and this is a decent

74
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 4: matchup for him. He's going to match up mostly in

75
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 4: this game with rossu Will Douglas and Christian Benford. And

76
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 4: Christian Benford both those guys allowed higher than sixty six

77
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 4: percent completions on targets last year. Moving over to the Bills,

78
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 4: Josh Allen of course is a must start. Next to

79
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 4: him in the backfield there, James Cook, he gets a

80
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 4: name for this matchup average almost twenty touches and one

81
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 4: hundred and four total yards per game. When Joe Brady

82
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 4: took over his offensive coordinator from week eleven to eighteen

83
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 4: last year, Arizona's run defense allowed the most rushing yards

84
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: per game last season. Great matchup for James Cook Curtis Samuel.

85
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 4: He is off the injury report from his turf toe.

86
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 4: I'm going to give him a B for this matchup.

87
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 4: He was wide receiver twenty seven and fantasy points per

88
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 4: game in the one season that he played with Joe

89
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 4: Brady previously. Samuel is a bit better against two high

90
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: coverage than single high coverage Arizona the Cardinals defense. They

91
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 4: played that at the second highest rate in the NFL

92
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 4: last year, so this looks like a good situation for Samuel.

93
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 5: In week one. Khalil Shakir, I'm going to give him

94
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 5: a C.

95
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: He finished it was about middle of the road last year,

96
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: forty second out of eighty four qualifiers and fantasy points

97
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 4: per game after Week six when he started to get

98
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 4: more playing time.

99
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 5: This is a solid matchup for him.

100
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 4: The Cardinals allowed the ninth most PPR points per target

101
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 4: to slot wide receivers last year. And then, of course,

102
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 4: my boy, Dalton Kinkaid is a must start and is

103
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 4: going to be a must start going forward.

104
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: Now, when you say Mustard be as you said, Kyler Murray,

105
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison must starts.

106
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 5: Does that well?

107
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: Letter grade? Does that mean for you?

108
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 5: What is?

109
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: Where is that? An eighty great, this is not your

110
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: first time doing the show.

111
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 3: Plus, so you go, so fantasy Fonsi's for all of

112
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: those players, so a.

113
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: Grades and Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison, and Trey McBride. Sir,

114
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: what I hear you saying? Yes, sir, all right, that's

115
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: very strong first game Marvin Harrison. Wow, New England Patriots

116
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: taking on the Cincinnati Bengals Patriots side. Not a lot

117
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: to talk about except my guy Rimandra Stevenson primarily.

118
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the only startable Patriot maybe for the foreseeable future,

119
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 3: and I'm going to give him a bee this week.

120
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 3: The Bengals run defense rode the struggle bus for the

121
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: last month of the season last year, and they really

122
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: did nothing to address that weakness in the offseason. Remember,

123
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 3: ty Chandler went for one hundred and thirty two in

124
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,559
Speaker 3: a score, Najie Harris had seventy eight in a touch.

125
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: Isaiah Pacheco had one hundred and sixty five total yards

126
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,559
Speaker 3: and a score, all in the last month. The common

127
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 3: denominator at the time, each was pretty much the only

128
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: back in their backfield, and the East had each had

129
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: at least nineteen touches and if Stevenson doesn't get nineteen touches.

130
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: What are we even doing here?

131
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: It's a great point.

132
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 3: Jacobe Brissett and the passing game all on the bench.

133
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: The O line is bad. Kendrick Bourne is on the

134
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 3: pup list. That leaves Damerio, Douglas kJ Osborne and the

135
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 3: rookies Jalen Polk and Javon Baker. They'll probably all get

136
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 3: exactly three targets in this game. Nobody's starting them anyway.

137
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: Let's go to the Bengals side.

138
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: Before you do. My only worry on On Stevenson is

139
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: this is the game's got some blowout to it. Sure,

140
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: it's got the highest it's got the it's the most

141
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: lopsided Vegas line out of the week. And at some

142
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: point is the running game rendered?

143
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: You know, I went through all the NFL games and

144
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: made a pick on every one of the games earlier

145
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: today actually, and I have the Patriots going oh to seventeen. Wow, yeah,

146
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 3: all right, they're so bad. They're so bad.

147
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: Shot right here?

148
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: Okay, So Ramandre might be game scripted out of every

149
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: single game possible. Normally it would be all systems go

150
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: for the Bengals with a grades all over. But Jamar

151
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 3: Chase has been limited in practiced this week. T Higgins

152
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: was added to the injury report on Thursday with a

153
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 3: hamstring injury injury, and then downgraded to doubtful on Friday.

154
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna go. And Joe Burrow didn't

155
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: throw for three days in a row almost all preseason

156
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: due to his lingering wrist injury. Sounds like Higgins is out.

157
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: With Chase missing all of camp as a holdout and

158
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: just being somewhat dinged up, I'm gonna downgrade him to

159
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: a B grade. And I think it's more likely that

160
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: the Bengals win ugly in this one and the passing

161
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 3: game puts up a lackluster day and the Bengals are

162
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: just not very past crazy on Sunday. If you're purely

163
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 3: desperate for a Bengals receiver, Yoshi's probably in line for

164
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: a start here. That's Andre Joshawash for you, scoring at

165
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: home spelled iOS I a s if you want to

166
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: go find him on your waiverwear.

167
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: Zach Moss and I like his opportunity and I do too.

168
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 3: He's a good receiver.

169
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: He is a good receiver.

170
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: Zach Moss and Chase Brown are expected to split reps.

171
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: Moss is currently listed as the starter on the depth chart.

172
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 3: If we think it's going to be a pretty close

173
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 3: to even time share, which I do. Let's split the

174
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: average touches per game by the running back position for

175
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: the Bengals last year. That was twenty three. So let's

176
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: say that each of them get somewhere between nine and

177
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: twelve touches. The average total yardage line against the Patriots

178
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: last year by backs who had anywhere between nine and

179
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 3: twelve touches, it's very specific, was forty four yards.

180
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: That's not great.

181
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 3: That's not great. We're hoping one of these guys will

182
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: be really good. Betting odds, they're both really average.

183
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: I think Zach Moss is prehemin, he's I think he's

184
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: going to be the guy we'll see.

185
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 3: Man, if you drafted one of them as a starter

186
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 3: and it sounds like charch did, I'm sorry. I can't

187
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: muster that lowest of the C grades in this one.

188
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: I think that they just win this one ugly. A

189
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: Sea is generous too, and it's only a starting grade

190
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: because it feels like the game script will be heavily

191
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: in the Bengals running backs favor.

192
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: You know, I feel about Zach Moss. I know I

193
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: can't give it up that easy.

194
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 3: You also have Zach lost colored glasses on all the time.

195
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 5: I do.

196
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Houston takes on Indianapolis. Let's begin with the passing

197
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: game here. CJ. Stroud a grade two games against Indy

198
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: last year, six hundred and forty eight yards and four

199
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: touchdown passes, two in each. Now he's got the deepest

200
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: set of starting receivers in the league, and Indy returns

201
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: almost the exact same secondary as last year, so I

202
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: think we can draw on last year's conclusions. Here a

203
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: grade for Nico Collins, who went berserk against the Colts

204
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: in the two games last year, one hundred and forty

205
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: six yards in a touchdown and then one hundred and

206
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: ninety five yards in a touchdown while catching sixteen of

207
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: eighteen targets for Nico Collins.

208
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 3: So you're saying one forty six is the low bar here.

209
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: That's right. Wow, Well we'll zoom pass that, okay. Steph

210
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: Diggs and Tank Dell come in with B grades. Last

211
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: year against indian Week two, with all three of Houston's

212
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: starting receivers available, CJ. Stroud fed all three of them

213
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: against this Indie team. It was Nico Collins and Tank

214
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: Dell and then started Robert Woods. He can feed three

215
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: receivers against this team. Diggs and Dell both are going

216
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: to line up on the slot. They're going to line

217
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: up outside. Dell played well versus Indian week two, put

218
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: up seventy two yards in a touchdown before he broke

219
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: his leg later in the year. B grades for them.

220
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, I'm not sure much gas he's got left

221
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: in the tank, but it's a very favorable matchup and

222
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: the Colts will be busy defending the pass. Last year,

223
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: the Colts allowed the fifth most fantasy points to running backs.

224
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: They saw the sixth highest run play percentage last year,

225
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: and they ranked as Pro Football Focuses twenty second ranked

226
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: run defense. It's a very similar front seven for Indy

227
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: this year, so I think we can draw that correlation

228
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: to last year. Joe Mixon comes in with a B grade,

229
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: and I'm putting Dalton Schultz on the bench, who was

230
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: very quiet in these games against Indy last year. And

231
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: the Colts were a good tight end defense, allowing just

232
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: three tight end touchdowns all year.

233
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 3: So Stroud can support three but not four.

234
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: But that not all the way to the tight end,

235
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: all right, I gotta go with that. We'll cut it

236
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: off at three. Let's go to the indie side. Jonathan

237
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: Taylor easya in the eighteen Week eighteen meeting between these

238
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: teams last year, he rolled up thirty carries for one

239
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty eight yards in a score. And that

240
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: was a game both teams are trying to win, even

241
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: though it was Week eighteen. Let's go to the passing game.

242
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson comes in with a B grade. He got

243
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: knocked out of the Week two Houston matchup before half,

244
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 1: but he still ran in two touchdowns before half. The

245
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: Texans gave up a league worst seven quarterback rushing touchdowns

246
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: last year, but they led the NFL with only seventeen

247
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns allowed thirteen of seventeen opposing passers through zero

248
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: or one touchdowns against them. This we're point is we're

249
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: really here for the rushing on Anthony Richardson, which keeps

250
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: him in a B grade. I'm not super optimistic about

251
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: his ability to fill a stat line through the air,

252
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: but Michael Pittman, I'm still going in with a B grade.

253
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: Quiet in bost of the Houston games just fifty six

254
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: and forty four scoreless yards last year. But Houston's best cornerback,

255
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: Darryl Stingley, is small and would be a physical mismatch

256
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: for Pittman. So maybe he gets matched up against second

257
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: round rookie Kamari Lassiter, which making his NFL debut, and

258
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: that'd be a strong advantage to Michael Pittman. So I'm

259
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: keeping a B grade on Pittman. Josh Down's not expected

260
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: to play in this game, and the Donnie Mitchell or

261
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: is gonna get some extra time here. With Josh downs out,

262
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: Alt Pierce will get some more work and Mitchell's got

263
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: a chance here. Now it's Mitchell's speed versus Darryl Stingley's speed.

264
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: What do you think about that speed on speed matchup?

265
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 5: That could be fun.

266
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 4: I'm not the biggest fan of a Donna Mitchell, I

267
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: will say, very very inconsistent player. I know they want

268
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 4: to get him some more looks here with Josh downs Down,

269
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 4: but I would honestly prefer Alec Pierce. I think that

270
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 4: Mitchell had the great testing profile, but super duber inconsistent

271
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 4: at two different colleges, and you and.

272
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: I talked about him in the preseason quite a bit,

273
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: and you know, the off season shows. I feel like

274
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: he's just really raw. I don't think he's as ready

275
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: to make an instant debut as say Xavier Worthy did

276
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: on Thursday night.

277
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 4: Thousand percent. He's a Donna Mitchell in the NFL. Is

278
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 4: a downfield guy.

279
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 5: Especially right away. It's a it's a Gabe Davis type profile.

280
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 3: How many Xavier Worthy tweets did you get last night?

281
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: A lot, A lot, a lot.

282
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: When we come back, take a chance on me the

283
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: hind players not normally in your starting lineup. Find out

284
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: which sleepers you can start this week when we returned

285
00:13:16,520 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Football Week, take a chance on me nine

286
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: players not normally in your starting lineup. Let's begin at

287
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback position and Matt Harrison, who you got?

288
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 3: I got Jayden Daniels because I think it might be

289
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 3: the only time I can use Daniels as to take

290
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 3: a chance on me quarterback, So I'm gonna do it. Sorry,

291
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: thor I took a rookie. Can't do that, can I?

292
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: He looked sharp in the preseason, both through the air

293
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: and on the ground. He faces a Bucks defense that

294
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 3: did nothing this offseason but sign all their guys back,

295
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 3: and last year they allowed the fifth most passing yards

296
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: and were twenty first in pressure rate. This seems like

297
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 3: a perfect defense for a rookie to start his career against,

298
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: lots of film on them and not great results. Also,

299
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: three quarterbacks had at least six rushing attempts against Tampa

300
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 3: last year. The average rushing line for those qbs was

301
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 3: thirty six yards, and all three of them scored a

302
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 3: touchdown on the ground.

303
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: All right, we're here for the rushing for Jaden Daniels

304
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: as much as anything else. Thor your take a chance

305
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: at me quarterback.

306
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 4: Taking Jared goffin this game against his former team. This

307
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 4: is a shootout that has expected the highest total on

308
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 4: the entire NFL board this week. Has been great in

309
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 4: shootouts in his career. He's averaged two hundred and seventy

310
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 4: one yards and over two passing touchdowns when the lines

311
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 4: have reached twenty five points. This game that the Lions

312
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 4: is total implied total is nearly thirty points, and of

313
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 4: course the Rams have an average pass defense, so expecting

314
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 4: a good game for golf.

315
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm going Gardner Minshew against the Chargers. I'm going to

316
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Chargers schedule from last year, and

317
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to subtract out three games. A Blame Gabbert

318
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: start against them, a Bailey Zappie start against them, and

319
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: a game against them from Lamar Jackson which was such

320
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: a one sided blowout that he didn't pass in the

321
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: whole game, barely through like nineteen passes. The other fourteen

322
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to face the Chargers averaged two hundred and eighty

323
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: four yards, which would have made them the bottom ranked

324
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: pass defense across the entire NFL last year, and they

325
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: were like twenty ninth. Anyway, you might be thinking, oh,

326
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: but the Chargers defense got better in the offseason, Well

327
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: not really. The only off season addition to the starting

328
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: Chargers secondary was cornerback Christian Fulton, which is probably subtraction

329
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: by addition, considering he was Pro Football Focuses one hundred

330
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: and twenty third ranked cornerback in coverage and he allowed

331
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: an opposer passer rating of one hundred and twenty nine.

332
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: I think Minshew's sitting on a nice game here. Let's

333
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: go to the running back position, Matt.

334
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 3: I've got former Charger Austin Eckler. I mentioned that I

335
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 3: liked this quarterback because The Bucks are weak against the pass,

336
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 3: but they were absolutely awesome against the run last season,

337
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 3: So why Eckler here? They were great against the rushing

338
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: part of the run, but they didn't face a ton

339
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 3: of pass catching backs of note last year. When they did,

340
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: guys like Alvin Kamara had thirteen receptions, McCaffrey had five catches,

341
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: Beijon had five catches, and really those were the guys

342
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 3: that had anything close to the pedigree of Eckler in

343
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 3: the pass catching department. Over the last five seasons, Eckler's

344
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: averaged just over five receptions per game. So in a

345
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 3: PPR league, I'm putting five points in my pocket already,

346
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 3: and I think he's gonna do a lot more.

347
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: All right, thor you're take a chance with me running back?

348
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 4: Sticking with that Rams Lions game, I'm gonna go with

349
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 4: Blake korm here at running back. He has already been

350
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 4: named the Rams starting kick returner, and I think and

351
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 4: have mentioned this, you know since over the summer that

352
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 4: Korum is going to chomp into Kyron's early downwork more

353
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 4: than most are anticipating this game. Of course, the highest

354
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 4: the highest point total on the board, the Rams are

355
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 4: going to be around the goal line quite a bit.

356
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 4: Koram was last draft class's best goal line back, and

357
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 4: I'm not sure that it was close. Scored twenty seven touchdowns.

358
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 4: He's going to be the Rams' goal line back if

359
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 4: nothing else. I think he gets a bunch of short

360
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 4: the early downwork as well. And I will have more

361
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 4: on Blake Koram later in the show.

362
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: Okay, I like it. I like it. My running back

363
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: staying in LA different la running back JK. Dobbins. I

364
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: prefer Gus Edwards and we'll talk more about him later

365
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: in the show. But we still't know what this Chargers

366
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: backfield rotation is going to look like. Is it fifty

367
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: to fifty Edwards and Dobbins? Is it forty forty twenty

368
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: with Kamani Vidala making an immediate impact possible. What we

369
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: do know is that Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman are

370
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: going to run like crazy, especially considering the unproven receivers

371
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: on the Chargers roster. At this point. The Raiders were

372
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: an average not great run defense last year that did

373
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: not make any obvious improvements to their front seven. We'll

374
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: try the old JK. Dobbins as a deep dark throw.

375
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: Matt Let's go to By the way, we're going to

376
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: talk a little dark throws. I gotta get that.

377
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 3: There you go.

378
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to the ride receiver position.

379
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 3: I got Adam Thielen, who faces the Saints this weekend,

380
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: who have one absolutely brutal cornerback and it's their slot

381
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 3: corner Alonte Taylor. In his coverage last year, Taylor allowed

382
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 3: the fourth most passing yards in the league and was

383
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 3: bottom ten in that category against in touchdowns allowed. Guess

384
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 3: who one of those scores was Adam Thielen in the

385
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 3: September matchup, where he had seven catches for fifty four yards.

386
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 3: In the other game, he managed five catches for seventy

387
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: four yards. So in a PPR league, I think it's

388
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: a twelve point game at least. And I know Deonta

389
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 3: is there and he should be the top dog, But

390
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 3: Peelan still averaged almost seven catchable targets per game, and

391
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 3: I think he's got as good as hands as anybody.

392
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 3: If it's near, he's gonna catch it.

393
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: I like that angle. If you sold me on that. Yeah,

394
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: all right, let's go to Thorpe. You take a chance

395
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: on meat wide receiver.

396
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 5: Are you ready to be hurt? By Jamison Williams again.

397
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: Well, I have never been hurt by him because I've

398
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: never I've never been out of the believer. But maybe

399
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: this is the time.

400
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 5: I'm ready to be hurt by James Williams again.

401
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 4: Now, of course, you only reached sixty percent of the

402
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 4: snaps in four games last season after her return from

403
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 4: his gamling suspension. Everyone knows his rookie season. Of course

404
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 4: got a chomp out of it as well. But at

405
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 4: least the NFL has confidence in him. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler

406
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 4: recently reported that Jamison Williams was the number one volt

407
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 4: geter from league executives and scouts for the breakout player

408
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four.

409
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: Okay, so they at least believe.

410
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 4: And then, of course you have the departure of Josh

411
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 4: Reynolds opens the door for more potential targets for Jamison Williams.

412
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 4: And this is a really good matchup for him for

413
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 4: the Wheels to go up off the ground at the

414
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 4: start of the season against that mediocre Rams pass defense

415
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 4: in a game. Again have I mentioned this before? It

416
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 4: has the highest total on the board this year. The

417
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 4: point total Williams is hyper. He could lead to a

418
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 4: few big plays against the secondary that coughs them up.

419
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 5: We're gonna go with Jamis and Williams.

420
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: Hey, thor which game has the highest total? The highest

421
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: Vegas total?

422
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 5: Rams, Lions? Maybe get ready for a shootout.

423
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: Hey, I found a ram that we haven't talked about yet,

424
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson in this game. This is, of course, the

425
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: Rams wide receiver. He didn't start getting real snaps until

426
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: Week twelve of last year, and he had a major

427
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: impact in those final weeks of the season, averaging sixty

428
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: four yards and almost a full touchdown per game. The

429
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: Lions allowed the third most fantasy points to wide receivers

430
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: last year, and in Detroit did overhaul their entire secondary,

431
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: mostly all but all those moving parts. Does it all

432
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: come together in Week one? Maybe not. Robinson's gonna see

433
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: a lot of rookie cornerback Terry and Arnold who makes

434
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: his NFL debut. He's probably gonna be good. He was

435
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: taken in the first round. But is he good in

436
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: week one? Maybe not? DeMarcus Robinson, It's got some opportunities here.

437
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: Let's go back to some matchups. Thore Jacksonville Daguar's taking

438
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: on the mat Miami Dolphins for Jacksonville. A lot of

439
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: the same parts, but no Calvin Ridley. Now Gabe Davis

440
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: comes in. That's a pretty sizable downgrade, but Brian Thomas

441
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: is an exciting addition. Let's talk through the Jaguars side

442
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: of this first BTJ.

443
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, start with Trevor Lawrence. I'm gonna give him a

444
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 4: B grade in this matchup. Of course, he's coming off

445
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 4: that frustrating twenty twenty three, but he's still ranked KB

446
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 4: thirteen in Fantasy points per game during that disappointing season,

447
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 4: and this is a great matchup in another expected shootout.

448
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 4: This is the second highest total on the board this

449
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 4: week in the NFL.

450
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 5: This game.

451
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 4: Dolphins gave up the tenth most fantasy points per game

452
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 4: to quarterbacks last year, and everybody knows Miami as a

453
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 4: good secondary, but their pass rush is compromising this game.

454
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 5: Bradley Chubble course at the ACL is out.

455
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 4: Jalen Phillips with his achilles is questionable, so Lawrence's gonna

456
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 4: have time back there in what is expected to be

457
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 4: a good game. Script Travis Etn is a great a

458
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 4: good matchup for him as well in a game that's

459
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 4: going to be high scoring. He's going to get his

460
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 4: yardage and should be good for at least a touchdown here.

461
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 4: Christian Kirk, I'm gonna give him a B was a

462
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 4: top twenty Fantasy wide receiver between weeks two and twelve.

463
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 4: Last year, Dolphins were a bottom ten team defending slot

464
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 4: wide receivers. That's because of Caterkahu, their nickel guy for Miami.

465
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 4: Eighty three point five percent catch rate allowed last year

466
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 4: on targets awful, and get this, the passer rating that

467
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 4: guy allowed.

468
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 5: One hundred and thirty two point nine.

469
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: That had to be about as bad as any corner

470
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: in the league.

471
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 4: He gets lit up like a Christmas tree and Chris

472
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 4: Christian Kirk is going to start the party this year.

473
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: Can we move him to an A? You just sold

474
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: me on it, all right, I'm going a thank you.

475
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 4: We're switching Kirk to a Brian Thomas making his NFL debut,

476
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 4: Gonna give him a C bench, Gabe Davis, if there's

477
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 4: one guy you want to take a shot on that

478
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 4: is a non Christian Kirk named wide receiver, it is

479
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 4: BTJ Thomas. So we didn't see him a ton in

480
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 4: the preseason, but when we did, twenty point five A

481
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 4: dot for Brian Thomas Junior, and of course he was

482
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 4: an assassin at LSH You they sort of kept him

483
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 4: under wraps, you know, beyond that did Jacksonville this preseason.

484
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 4: But I think it's possible you get some intermediate looks

485
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 4: there if nothing else.

486
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 5: He is a rich Man's Gabe Davis.

487
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 4: So if we're gonna take a shot on upside on

488
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 4: one guy, it is going to be Brian Thomas Junior

489
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 4: in this matchup. So I'm gonna give him a C.

490
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 4: Evan ingram A of course remains he's a mustard in

491
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 4: this matchup. What's going to be a very good game script.

492
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 4: Moving over to the Dolphins here to we're gonna give

493
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 4: him a grade a B. He was the NFL leader

494
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 4: in passing yardage last season, but still only finish quarterbacks

495
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 4: sixteen and fantasy points per game. Of course, he still

496
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 4: has the accuracy was number three and highly accurate throw

497
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 4: rate last year, and this this is a solid matchup.

498
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 4: The jaeg Orris are bottom seven last year in passing

499
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 4: touchdowns and yards allowed per game, and also fantasy points

500
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 4: per game allowed to quarterbacks. The touchdowns is the only

501
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 4: thing that the variants on that where I bumped to

502
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 4: it to a b.

503
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: Well, and it's because they love to run the ball

504
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: for sure, you know. And that's you know, if you're

505
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: gonna get raheem Mostered finished with what eighteen touchdown last year? Sure,

506
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: so yeah, that's part of it.

507
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 4: And Devin Auchan he gets an a here running back

508
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 4: five and fantasy points per game number one in explosive

509
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 4: run rate, was also number two in yards after contact

510
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 4: per attempt as a rookie. Jaguars allowed the twelfth most

511
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 4: rushing yards last year a middling run defense. A Chane

512
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 4: must Art Rahie Moster, the aforementioned Moster great b here

513
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 4: he averaged seventeen point two fantasy points per game win

514
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 4: playing with a Chane in twenty twenty three, I felt

515
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 4: like he went a little bit underdrafted this summer, did

516
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 4: most of it. This is gonna be great, yeah in

517
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 4: this game here, this specific matchup, this is going to

518
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 4: be a fast paced game with points galore. That's a

519
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 4: Moster game script. Jaguars were twelfth worst in fantasy points

520
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 4: allowed to running backs per game last year, and Jacksonville

521
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 4: was dead last in receptions allowed to opposing running backs.

522
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 4: So Moster a good matchup for him, Tyreek killichourse must start.

523
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 4: Jaylen Waddell gets a be wide receiver thirty four in

524
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 4: PPR last year after being wide receiver seven and twenty

525
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 4: twenty two fight his thousand yard season, but of course

526
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 4: only had the four touchdowns. Speaking to the game script thing, yeah,

527
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 4: the Dolphins average three point eight more rushing yards, are

528
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 4: more rushing attempts than the year before last year, so

529
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 4: that goes against him. And then last one, John new

530
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 4: Smith gets a be here. Last year, the Dolphins tight

531
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 4: ends scored zero.

532
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 5: I'm going high on him.

533
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 4: Scored zero touchdowns and average are only a little more

534
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 4: than three targets per game. I think John new Smith

535
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 4: finally gives them that third option in the receiving game

536
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 4: to go a cheetah and waddle.

537
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 5: He's a skilled receiver and a good athlete charts.

538
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 4: Keep in mind on a sixty yard touchdown last October,

539
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 4: John who was clocked by.

540
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 5: The GPS with the third fastest.

541
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 4: Top end speed up any tight end in the NFL

542
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 4: since twenty sixteen, twenty one point one Miles Prower.

543
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 5: That guy still got juice.

544
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 4: The Jaguarers gave up the fifth most fantasy points per

545
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 4: game to tight ends last year, John who wheels up?

546
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: I love it, John hu Smith fantastic. You know you

547
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: know that guy's close to my heart. More matchups coming

Speaker 1: gating leagues dot com. Let's jump back to the matchups.

559
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers New Orleans Saints is not the sexiest matchup,

560
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: but you already identified one sleeper you liked, Adam Thielen

561
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: in this matchup. Any other Panthers that you're grooving on here?

562
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, theeling was might take a chance on me wide receiver.

563
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: I'd give him a solid plus. I like him better

564
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 3: than his running mate Deontay Johnson.

565
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: Unfortunate long pause in that what.

566
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 3: Deontay Johnson gets a bench grade for me, He'll mostly

567
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 3: draw Marshawn Lattimore and Paulson to Devo on the perimeter.

568
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 3: Dabo finished his PFF's number twenty one graded corner out

569
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 3: of a possible two hundred and twenty seven players, and

570
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 3: Latimore only allowed three hundred and seventeen yards in his

571
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 3: coverage all of last year. Both of those guys allowed

572
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 3: exactly one touchdown in their coverage in twenty twenty three.

573
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 3: I can't figure out a way to get Deontay into

574
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 3: a lineup this week. And if I don't like Deontay,

575
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: I really can't start Bryce Young, who in two full

576
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 3: games against the Saints last year had yardage totals of

577
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 3: one fifty three and one thirty seven.

578
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 2: Wow.

579
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: That's bad.

580
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 3: That's bad. Now. They did bolster the offensive line with

581
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 3: some free agents, but I'm not sure if it's enough

582
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 3: for me to start Bryce Young in a scenario where

583
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 3: I haven't seen him play a good game really in

584
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 3: a long time. Chuba Hubbard, it's the only guy that

585
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 3: you would actually think of playing outside of Theelan in

586
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 3: this one. He should be the main ballcarrier against the

587
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 3: Saints this weekend. If he's utilized anything like he was

588
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 3: in their December matchup, where he had twenty five touches

589
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 3: for ninety six total yards. That's not bad, but new

590
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 3: head coach Dave Kanalis's track record against the Saints with

591
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 3: his running backs was if he at best. Last year

592
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 3: in Tampa, they had Rashad White and either Keishan Vaughn

593
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 3: or Chase Edmonds basically split touches in their two meetings

594
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 3: with the Saints last year. He just went totally game

595
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 3: split in that one. And by the way, Rashad White

596
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 3: had a ton of touches last year, which I'll talk

597
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 3: about a little later in the show. But they did

598
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 3: very little on the ground and they did most of

599
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: their damage through the air. Hubbard not really a pass

600
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: catching back, so it seems like there's just not enough

601
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 3: meat on the bone for a start here. I'm going

602
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 3: to keep him on the bench On the Saints side.

603
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 3: Chris o'lave, I'm only going to give him a B

604
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 3: grade in this one. The noteworthy thing about the Panthers

605
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 3: defense last season was they were so bad against the

606
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 3: run that barely anyone threw against them, or were they

607
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 3: kind of good in the secondary? That's possible. Troy Hill

608
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 3: and j. C. Horn were both above average corners. Both

609
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 3: held opponents to an A dot under twelve, so they

610
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 3: were definitely fine giving up the underneath stuff. And Olave

611
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 3: had two like so so days against the Panthers four

612
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 3: for twenty eight and a score and six for eighty

613
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 3: six in the other one. If you feel comfortable with

614
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 3: like ten to twelve PPR points, I think that's about

615
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 3: where Olave lands here. As for the rest of the

616
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: Saints passing game, including Derek Carr and Taysom Hill, I

617
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 3: got them all on the bench as a member of

618
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 3: the Saints last year. Carr did tally three hundred and

619
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 3: forty seven passing yards against the Panthers total in two games.

620
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 3: That's not good. And I know, I don't know what

621
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 3: league you're in where you need to start Car right now.

622
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: It's like one of those leagues where you have no

623
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 3: choice but to start to start a Saints quarterback.

624
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: It's quarterback.

625
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 3: You have to start a Saints quarterback in this one

626
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 3: weird league that Scott Fish made up the weird rules

627
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 3: on I'm sure Alvin Kamara, he gets a B grade.

628
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 3: Kamara managed fifty six rushing yards and a score and

629
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 3: in only twelve touches in his loan outing against the

630
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 3: Panthers last year, and the Panthers allowed the most total

631
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 3: touchdowns to running backs last year with twenty five, but

632
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 3: they did bolster the d line with run stuffer Ashan

633
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 3: Robinson and Alvin is nearing that age where you put

634
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 3: your teeth in a glass on your bedside table at night.

635
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 3: So we're gonna talk more about Cliff could come soon.

636
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: Yes, Vikings taking on the Giants. Let's start with the

637
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: a topic here. Sam Darnold, there's a chance that the

638
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: Giants front four, defensive front four just wrecks this game

639
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: for Minnesota. I'm worried about Brian Burns, Dexter, Lawrence Kevon Thibodeau.

640
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: This might be the league's best pass rushing trifecta that

641
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: there is and doesn't At the end of the day,

642
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't matter. Minnesota is going to pass anyway.

643
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell's a former quarterback former quarterback coach. The past

644
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: two years, the Vikings ranked third and third in passing

645
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: play percentage. So just through sheer volume. If nothing else,

646
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: I think you can still start Sam Donald with a

647
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: C grade. But again, there is a chance this whole

648
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: thing goes upside down at the line of scrimmage. The

649
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: Viking's interior offensive line is not particularly good. Justin Jefferson

650
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: obvious a But you know again, I understand the Sam

651
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: Donald concerns. But see Justin Jefferson in this offense goes

652
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: through him first and foremost. Let's not forget Jordan Addison

653
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: all the offseason.

654
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 3: You know, bad news.

655
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: He got injured in training camp and you know, and

656
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: fallen asleep at the wheel of his rolls. Rice in

657
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: the left hand lane of LA traffic is not a

658
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: good look. Still a reminder last year, nine hundred yards

659
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: and ten touchdowns. Would you guys care to hazard to

660
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: guess thorn matt in the Super Bowl era with thousands

661
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: of rookie receivers that have been literally thousands, how many

662
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: receivers have had a rookie season with nine hundred yards

663
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: and ten touchdowns?

664
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 3: It's probably count on one hand, five, four, seven. Oh,

665
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 3: they're close.

666
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: That's a nice job. Nice job. Now the Giants secondary,

667
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: I told you I'm worried about their front four the

668
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: Giant secondary looks like garbage. They were desperate enough that

669
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: they signed free agent Adorri Jackson to start a week ago,

670
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: and he's their starting cornerback. The other cornerback is Deontay Banks,

671
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: drafted in the first round, but he was Pro Football

672
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: Focus's cornerback one hundred and seventy seven last year. So

673
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: I like Jordan Addison here. I've got a B grade

674
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: on Jordan Addison. Aaron Jones plenty of gas left in

675
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: the tank. Remember last December he was a He was

676
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: dominating the backfield touches for Green Bay and on twenty

677
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: touches a game, he was fantastic. Now, Minnesota's offensive line

678
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: is not as good at run blocking as Green Bays,

679
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: but the Giants ranked twenty eighth in run defense last year,

680
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: and they didn't make any apparent improvements to the run

681
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: defensive personnel in the offseason. Jones a very good receiver.

682
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: But let me note this, Giants had the best the

683
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: best defense against pass catching backs last year. They ranked

684
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: number one in receptions allowed to running backs, number two

685
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: and receiving touchdowns allowed to running backs just one, and

686
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: number four in receiving yards to running backs. So Jones

687
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: is not going to be able to help you a

688
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: lot through the air, and just a B grade. Let's

689
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: go to the Giants. Only three guys that really I

690
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: think are worth mentioning here. Let's start with Devin Singletary.

691
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,479
Speaker 1: The Vikings are terrific against the run last year, allowing

692
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: just three point seven yards per carry over the twelve

693
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: games from Week three to Week fifteen last year. That's

694
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: most of the season. No back top sixty five yards

695
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: against Minnesota and they only gave up three touchdowns during

696
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: that long stretch. Two improvements to the Vikings linebacker group

697
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: suggests that will not change as well. And I still

698
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: think they've got a stout run defense. And Singletary doesn't

699
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: catch much, and the Vikings were pretty good at stopping

700
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: opposing receiving backs anyway. So you're only going to probably

701
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: get what Devin Singletary gives you on the ground, and

702
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: I can only get to a C grade on that.

703
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: Let's go to Malik Neighbors, the most exciting of the

704
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,959
Speaker 1: Giants offensive prospects here, coming off a glowing training camp

705
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: and is the presumed focal point of the entire Giants offense. Really,

706
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: even as a first star rookie Neighbors gets a Minnesota

707
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: secondary that gave up the six most fantasy points to

708
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: receivers last season and was overhauled with veterans like Chack

709
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: Griffin and Stefan Gilmore. Gilmour only signed three weeks ago.

710
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: Shack Griffin does not exactly a high demand free agent.

711
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: I got Milk Neighbors with a B Greggs. I think

712
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: he can hit the ground running here one Dale Robinson

713
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: comes into the C grade. He runs from the slot,

714
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: raises to see Byron Murphy the most and a little

715
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: bit of Josh mittell Us. Murphy struggled last year rating

716
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: his Pro Football focuses ninety third ranked cornerback with an

717
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: opposer passer rating of one hundred and two, and mattell

718
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: Us allow an opposer passer rating of one hundred eleven.

719
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: So opportunities there for when Dale Robinson, if you want

720
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: to go deep Pittsburgh Steelers against the Atlanta Falcons, thor

721
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: we don't right now as we're recording this, we don't

722
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: know who the quarterback is going to be for the Steelers.

723
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 5: I don't know that the Steelers do either.

724
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 4: They're saying that Russell Wilson is going to be a

725
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 4: game time decision with his calf injury.

726
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 5: We'll see.

727
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 4: If I knew he was going to be playing at

728
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 4: one hundred percent, I would have gone to see here.

729
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 4: But you have to keep the Steelers quarterback on the bench,

730
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 4: especially that then going up to kickoff. This is not

731
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 4: an easy matchup. Is one of the reasons Falcons have

732
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 4: a strong pass defense. Last year gave up the six

733
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 4: to lowest adjusted completion rate in the NFL. Stay away

734
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 4: from the Steelers quarterbacks this week, Naj Harris give him

735
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 4: a great at see he fell all the way down

736
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 4: to eleven and a half fantasy points per game last year,

737
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 4: which was running back thirty from his peak of seventeen

738
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 4: point seven back in twenty twenty one when he was

739
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 4: a rookie. Yeah, and that of course comes because his

740
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 4: touches fell from two hundred and eighty four last year

741
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 4: two hundred and eighty four last year from three hundred

742
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 4: and eighty one as a rookie. All those touches went

743
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 4: to Jalen Warren. This is a tough matchup against the Falcons.

744
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 4: The Falcons allowed the fifth fewest fantasy points per game

745
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 4: to opposing running backs last year of course that the

746
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,919
Speaker 4: same thing applies to Jalen Warren, who was a full

747
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 4: participant in Pittsburgh's recent practices. Looked like he's a full

748
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 4: goal he had that hamstring injury. For those reasons, I'm

749
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 4: gonna give him a set and just put him a

750
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 4: slight notch. But beneath Nause, his Warrens touches doubled last year.

751
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 4: Of course, those came right from Nause, and he ended

752
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 4: with essentially the identical fantasy points to Nause eleven hundred

753
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 4: and fifty four rushing yards, four touchdowns last year for Warren,

754
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 4: we're giving.

755
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 5: Both those guys to see George Pickens. I go between

756
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 5: A and B here.

757
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: Wow, even though you don't think either quarterback is a start,

758
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,479
Speaker 1: I do, because he's going to get peppered with targets here.

759
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 4: Last year, so Pickens had a ridiculous fifty point one

760
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 4: air yard share when Deontay Johnson was out from weeks

761
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 4: two to five last year. Roman Wilson is out. Obviously,

762
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 4: Deontay Johnson is out the door. Pittsburgh doesn't have anything

763
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 4: else at wide receiver. Pickens was wide receiver sixteen and

764
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 4: fantasy points per game during that aforementioned week two to

765
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 4: five stretch. I just mentioned he's gonna get wide receiver

766
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 4: one usage all day here, and it's a decent matchup.

767
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 4: Everybody knows Raheem Morris the new Falcons head coach. They

768
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 4: run a lot of zone in that defensive scheme. Pickens's

769
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 4: effectiveness has always gone up against zone coverage during his

770
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 4: NFL career. I'm not I'm gonna knock him up to

771
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 4: an a George Dickens and hey Pat fryar Mouth, We'll

772
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 4: just give him a c here tight end twenty seven

773
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 4: and fantasy points per game before it's hamstring injury last year.

774
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 5: It is a decent matchup.

775
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 4: Fealcons allowed the fourth most receptions and receiving yards to

776
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 4: opposing tight ends last year. And I mentioned the drop

777
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 4: heavy zone system that Morris uses that opens up intermediate looks,

778
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 4: so friar Mouth could get a look in that regard.

779
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 4: Moving to the Falcons first game for Kirk Cousins there,

780
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give him a grade of B here. He

781
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 4: was quarterback eight and fantasy points per game last year

782
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 4: before his injury. The Steelers have a middle of the

783
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 4: road pass defense. They were number fifteen last year in

784
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 4: passing yards per game allowed. Pittsburgh is going to try

785
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 4: to hurry Cousins' process because the Steelers last year ranked

786
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 4: sixth in the NFL in blitz, right, they're going to

787
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 4: be in the top ten again. But Cousins last year

788
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 4: before that injury, number two in the NFL and adjusted

789
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 4: completion rate win blitz. You guys recall he was very

790
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 4: good under pressure last year. Assuming that holds over here

791
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 4: after the injury, of course, you know this would be

792
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 4: a good matchup for that. Bjehn Robinson and Drake London

793
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 4: are weekly must starts. They both get an A.

794
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: Let's hope Bjohn Robinson is a weekly must start because

795
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: Arthur's last year that was not the case, and we're

796
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 1: all assuming that's going to be the case this year.

797
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: Let's hope that is the case.

798
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and hopefully Arthur Smith being on the other sideline,

799
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 4: it's not going to be like seeing the ghosts there.

800
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 4: Darnell Mooney in his first game with the Falcons, I'm

801
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 4: gonna give him a grade to see he last year

802
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 4: was a nightmare. He finished wide receiver eighty six over

803
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 4: fifteen games. He's in a much better situation here. The

804
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 4: Steelers were number four in the NFL, in the rate

805
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 4: of single high coverage, single high safety coverage is used.

806
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 4: Darnold Mooney is a deep shot guy. That's the kind

807
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 4: of you know where you can get a couple of

808
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 4: deep shots off. He's going to need a home run

809
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 4: or two in this game to return fantasy value. But

810
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 4: I think it's possible enough that I'm gonna give him

811
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 4: a C. Kyle Pitts, I am ready to be heard again, Kyle.

812
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 1: Well, and we'll address that very directly later the show

813
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 1: and keep going.

814
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 5: I'm gonna give him a grade of B here. He's

815
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 5: off the injury report.

816
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 4: Of course, last year was tight end sixteen fantasy points

817
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 4: per game, and that aforementioned Arthur Smith offense, but of

818
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 4: course he was also in Desmond Ritter Hell last year.

819
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 4: You have a big, big upgrading quarterback and this is

820
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 4: a decent matchup. The Steelers allowed the second highest PPR

821
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 4: points per target last year to slot receivers, as Kyle

822
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 4: Pitts is and that'll do it, Okay, Algier, I keep

823
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 4: on the bench for this game.

824
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: I need in my guillotine leagues. I need like forty yards.

825
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: You get four, like two catches and just gonna good

826
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: little like eight points. Tyler Lgier, Please these eighteen team leagues. Man,

827
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: do you need guys like Tyler Algier to just do

828
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: a little something?

829
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 5: You sure do?

830
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: Commanders take on the Bucks, Matt, You've already highlighted two

831
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: commanders as take a chance with me players Jayden Daniels

832
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: and Austin Ecklerer. Fill in the blanks for me here.

833
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Austin eckler was might take a chance on me runner.

834
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 3: I gave him a B grade in this game, actually too,

835
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 3: Brian Robinson, I'm leaving on the bench though. Do you

836
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 3: know how many running backs topped eighty yards against the

837
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 3: Buccaneers last year?

838
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 1: Two?

839
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 3: It's just four four. Do you know how many rushing

840
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 3: scorers they allowed last year?

841
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess like eleven five total.

842
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 3: Jeez, oh my gosh. The most likely outcome for the

843
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 3: top rushing yardage player in this game is Jayden Daniels,

844
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 3: which is why he was might take a chance on

845
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 3: me quarterback and he gets a B grade. Two. But

846
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 3: here we go two, I have a car in his

847
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 3: back and he gets an A grade. This week, he

848
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 3: will mostly match up with a man named Zion McCay.

849
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 3: This man Zion was Pro Football Focuses one hundred and

850
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 3: ninety first ranked quarterback cornerback last year, right next to

851
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 3: a bunch of names that Charch has mercilessly destroyed for years,

852
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 3: like Kendall Vildor when you're in Kendall Viildor's neighborhood as

853
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 3: not a good thing. McLaurin saw twenty percent of the

854
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 3: targets last season, and the Commanders just shipped off both

855
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 3: Curtis Samuel and Johan Dotson, who accounted for another thirty

856
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 3: three percent of the team's total targets. If McLaurin isn't

857
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 3: targeted at which he won't, at some point, somebody else

858
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 3: has got account the ball. I think it's gonna be

859
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 3: zach Ertz, who, by the way, if you're a slave

860
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 3: to the projections on your fantasy site, he's getting absolutely murdered.

861
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 3: I have him in scott Fishbowl, which is a tight

862
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 3: end premium league. He's projected by sleeper to get like

863
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 3: four Fantasy points.

864
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: I think he's getting more than that.

865
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 3: It's way more than that. The last time Cliff Kingsbury

866
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 3: and zach Ertz were together, Ertz had fifty one targets

867
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 3: in his first six games before getting dinged up, So

868
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 3: the Bucks gave up the second most yards and the

869
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 3: third most touchdowns to the tight end position last year.

870
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 3: I didn't want to take three Commanders and take a

871
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 3: chance on me, but Ertz is definitely that kind of player.

872
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 3: B grade for zach Ertz on the Tampa side, fire

873
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 3: up Mike Evans with an A and Baker Mayfield gets

874
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 3: a solid B grade two. Washington was the league's worst

875
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 3: secondary last year, allowing the most passing yards and passing scores,

876
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 3: and the combo of Michael Davis and Benjamin Saint just

877
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 3: might be the worst starting corner combination in the league.

878
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 3: As the one good corner that the Commanders had Kendall Fuller,

879
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 3: he's now in Miami, Saint just gave up a one

880
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 3: oh two passer rating in his coverage they acquired Davis

881
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 3: and free agency from the Chargers. He allowed a one

882
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 3: to nineteen passer rating and opposing wide receiver scored nine

883
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 3: times on him last which.

884
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 1: Is the worst in the league.

885
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 3: That was second most in the league. League Yeah, right there.

886
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 3: With Godwin moving back to the slot, I think people

887
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 3: are hoping for a bounce back. He arguably gets the

888
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 3: toughest matchup against rookie second rounder Mike Saindris still out

889
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 3: of Michigan say arguably because he doesn't have a track record,

890
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 3: but Godwin is four inches taller and twenty six pounds heavier.

891
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 3: Advantage Godwin, he gets a B grade. And finally, Rashad

892
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 3: White's volume carried him to fantasy prominence last year, but

893
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 3: he did not top a thousand yards on the ground

894
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 3: and did not get to double digit touchdown mark that

895
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 3: the twelve other running backs in that neighborhood did. Dan

896
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 3: Quinn really tried to remake that d line with veterans,

897
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 3: but White gets the A grade here in Week one,

898
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 3: with the note that I'm watching Buck how the Bucks

899
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 3: utilize Bucky Irving here, there's a decent possibility that it's

900
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 3: more of a split than we want it to be.

901
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: When we come back for our number two of Fantasy

902

00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: Thank you.

924
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 3: I'm excited for the big Syhawk game this weekend.

925
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,240
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's gonna be fun. Slaber knocker football.

926
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: I love the slaber knockers speak. Tough question number one.

927
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 2: Tough question number one.

928
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: What exactly is a slobber knocker? I really don't know.

929
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 3: I did not prepare for that. Tough question.

930
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 2: Tough question number one.

931
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: What is the appropriate level of panic when you take

932
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: an L? In week number one? Which we love, you know, right,

933
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 1: half of us are gonna take els? Is it none?

934
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: Is it some? Or is it a bowel loosening level

935
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: of existential dread? Matt. We begin with you.

936
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 3: I mean, what's more fun staying the course and riding

937
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 3: out the storm. We're completely overreacting and trading away all

938
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 3: your players. I vote over reaction. That's way more fun.

939
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 3: But in all seriousness, it's more about the usage For

940
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 3: me in week one? Did a player get the snap,

941
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 3: touch target totals that I expected? In Week one? Were

942
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 3: there other dark horse players utilized more or an unexpected way?

943
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,399
Speaker 3: If the answers are not favorable for me in both

944
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 3: of those scenarios, it's okay to be in a bowel

945
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 3: loosening level of existential dread and make changes right away.

946
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: All right, Thor what's the appropriate level of panic when

947
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 1: you take an L in week one?

948
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 5: For me, it's none.

949
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 4: I would need a biblical plague of injuries. I mean,

950
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 4: I expect to win every game, so you know, you

951
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 4: drop one. I'm expecting to only have one loss in

952
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 4: the regular season.

953
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: I'm in a dozen leagues. I think every one of

954
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: my twelve teams is really, really good. But the reality is,

955
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, half of us are going to take

956
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: l's in week one, and we're going to sour on

957
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: our teams a little bit when that happens, and everybody says,

958
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: do not panic in week one. It's just one week,

959
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: or it's such a small sample size, don't worry about it.

960
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 1: I say, panic, yes, panic away.

961
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 3: Chart You're with me.

962
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: If some of your foundational beliefs that you held on

963
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 1: draft day are resoundingly wrong in week one, more than

964
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: likely they're going to stay wrong. You know, there's so

965
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: much we don't know. We make all kinds of assumptions

966
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: going in, and week one is when coaches first tell

967
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 1: us the real reality. They've only got seventeen NFL games

968
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: to work with. Coaches can't play koy with their future,

969
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: holding back their best weapons for future use. They're trying

970
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: to win every game by putting their best players in

971
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: the best situation starting week one. And if it didn't

972
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: work out for your team in big ways foundational ways, panic.

973
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 2: Tough. Question number two, are.

974
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: You ready to be hurt again? By Kyle Pitts Well

975
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: and thor you've already touched on this. I believe I

976
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: know what your answer is going to be, but go

977
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 1: ahead and summarize, he will not.

978
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 5: Hurt us this time.

979
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: You can't even say with a straight face.

980
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 4: I feel like this is candy man crossing the figures

981
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 4: knocking on wood.

982
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 5: All Right, that's it, that's it. I'm not going to

983
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 5: hurt us this time.

984
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: All right, Matt, ready to be heard again by Kyle Pitts.

985
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 3: I think this is my favorite version of Kyle Pits.

986
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 3: The expectations have never been lower because he's burned so

987
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 3: many people that there are so many people who just

988
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 3: wrote him off altogether. But he's got the best quarterback

989
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 3: he's ever played for, one that has made fantasy tight

990
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 3: ends look fantastic. Cousins to Howkinson over the last two years,

991
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 3: when both were healthy and available, that was a top

992
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 3: three tight end situation in the league. I was never

993
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 3: hurt by him because I always hated the situation in

994
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 3: the last few years. So now I'm ready to maybe

995
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 3: never be hurt by him. Okay, so I'm in on

996
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 3: Yon Pits. Yes.

997
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: People don't seem to understand how big an upgrade it

998
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: is to go from last year's starting quarterback des been

999
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: Ridder to Kirk Cousins.

1000
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 3: It is a.

1001
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: Massive gulf between those two. Two weeks ago, Ritter was

1002
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: waived by arguably the worst team in the NFL. He

1003
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 1: cleared waivers and is now a practice squad quarterback for Arizona. Meanwhile,

1004
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 1: last time we saw Kirk Cousins, he was the NFL

1005
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: passing leader en route to a five thousand yard passing season.

1006
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: Cousins has long supported his tight ends. So yeah, Jay

1007
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: Hockinson recently, right before that, Kyle Rudolph before that, he

1008
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: made a Pro bowler out of Jordan Reed. Before that,

1009
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: Vernon Davis. We're going to get deep into the Cousin's

1010
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: career catalog here. He knows how to support tight ends.

1011
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm ready to be hurt by Kyle Pitts.

1012
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 5: That's big time football, baby. He can be looking at

1013
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 5: Kyle Pitts.

1014
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: I think so. If Brian Roli here, he'd be talking

1015
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: about if he's ready to be hurt again again, again,

1016
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: again again for the fourth straight year. Whatever by Kyle Pitts.

1017
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 3: Well, he's a wide receiver, obviously he would say that too.

1018
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 2: Tough question number three.

1019
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: For three straight years, somebody unexpected has topped fifteen rushing touchdowns.

1020
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: Three years ago it was Damien Harris called in the

1021
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: preseason this series show, by the way, Wow. Two years

1022
00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:00,760
Speaker 1: ago it was Jamal Williams. Last year it was Raheem Moster.

1023
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: I mean, for the most part, nobody had fifteen touchdown

1024
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: expectations out of these guys. No, who is your dark

1025
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 1: horse runner for fifteen touchdowns this year? Matt? We begin

1026
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: with you.

1027
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 3: So each of the guys you mentioned were on teams

1028
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 3: that were top eight in running back rushing attempts in

1029
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,439
Speaker 3: the year the player did that. And each of those

1030
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 3: teams had a quarterback that I would say needed a

1031
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 3: good running game to set up the pass or their

1032
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 3: failure rate was imminent. Then that's Mac Jones, Jared Goff,

1033
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 3: and Tua tag Tech Violoa La Man. I can never

1034
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 3: say his name. I'm just gonna go with two of us.

1035
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: Good thing his brother's never gonna make it exactly.

1036
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 3: So what team fits the bill this year of a

1037
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 3: run happy offense with a quarterback they're not fully to

1038
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 3: let drop back fifty times per game? Cleveland has entered

1039
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 3: the chat. The Broncos and Giants are here too. You know,

1040
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 3: I love me some Zamir White, but I think it's

1041
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 3: Najie Harris, who almost everyone has written off for dead

1042
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:01,240
Speaker 3: at this point, and many think that Jalen Warren should

1043
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 3: just take that job. But in Arthur Smith, Smith offense

1044
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 3: is one that runs. The Falcons led the league in

1045
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 3: running back rushing attempts last year, and the Steelers were

1046
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 3: already sixth in that category, and they trust Russell Wilson

1047
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 3: enough to trade for Justin Fields, who's not known to

1048
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,479
Speaker 3: be a huge passer. I think it's a big time

1049
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 3: running game, and they have a defense that should allow

1050
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 3: them to play grinding, hard nosed run the ball football.

1051
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 3: And by the way, Church loves inside the five guys. Yeah,

1052
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 3: Jalen Warren only had five attempts inside the five last year.

1053
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 3: Nase had twelve, which is more than double if my

1054
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 3: math holds up.

1055
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: And I think I think Jalen Warren only had one

1056
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 1: touchdown on those five carries inside the five.

1057
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 3: I think Nase's sitting on a really sneaky year here.

1058
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: Okay, for three straight years, somebody unexpected his top fifteen

1059
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. Store which runner is your dark horse for

1060
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: fifteen touchdowns this year?

1061
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 5: Thought a lot about this one.

1062
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 4: I'm going to go with Blake Koram Blake Corum who

1063
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 4: ran for twenty seven countum twenty seven touchdowns last year

1064
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 4: for the National Champions and he is a better short

1065
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 4: yardage back than Kyraen Williams. I mentioned that before Blake

1066
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 4: Horn was also the best goal line runner in the

1067
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 4: entire draft class coming out here, and his usage is

1068
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 4: going to help ensure that Karen Williams is healthy for

1069
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 4: the passing down work that he is best suited for.

1070
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 4: Korm not a great receiving back, Korum makes tremendous decisions

1071
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,800
Speaker 4: behind the line. He finds the crease, he breaks arm tackles.

1072
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 4: He is the perfect short yardage converter around the goal line.

1073
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 4: I believe he's going to get all those carries and

1074
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 4: he's in a really, really good offense. They're going to

1075
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 4: put points on the board when they're around the goal

1076
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 4: line there inside the ten, they're inside the five. Blake

1077
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 4: Korn is going to be on the field. I think

1078
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 4: he's gonna put up a lot of touchdowns this year.

1079
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 3: I love that call.

1080
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: Good job I was, Brian was here to fight you

1081
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: on that. To get to fifteen touchdowns, I need to

1082
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: back who will at a minimum get virtually all the

1083
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: goal line us right, So you have to have that.

1084
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: You guys have already addressed that with your picks. Ideally,

1085
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: he's a workhorse back who will chip in a few

1086
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 1: touchdowns for distance, but you don't need that. As we

1087
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 1: saw with Damien Harrison, Jamal Williams. Those guys really just

1088
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 1: roll committee type backs mostly the players I wanted to get.

1089
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: I liked Samir White, I thought about him. He gets

1090
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: drafted a little early, maybe not as obvious I consider

1091
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: Zach Moss here, I went down far the draft board.

1092
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, who can we get. That's a

1093
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 1: little sneak here. Let's talk Gus Edwards. Okay, let's talk

1094
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards. Last year, Gus ranked number one with twelve

1095
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns from inside the five yard line and number

1096
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:26,399
Speaker 1: two with twenty four attempts from inside the five. He's

1097
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: reconnected with his old offensive coordinator, Greg Roman, who will

1098
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: be the offensive who is the offensive coordinator for the Chargers.

1099
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: He had a fifty percent conversion rate on carries inside

1100
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:41,879
Speaker 1: the five into touchdowns and that's extremely good. And even

1101
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: if Gus ultimately sees some carries to JK. Dobbins or

1102
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 1: Kamani Vidal over the course of the season, he's still

1103
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: gonna be the goal line back, I believe. So we're

1104
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: gonna try a little Gus Edwards as a surprise player

1105
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: for fifteen touchdowns.

1106
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 3: I feel honorable mention here. Yeah, Devin Singletary. Yeah, maybe

1107
00:53:59,160 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 3: there's there's no.

1108
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,399
Speaker 1: There's nobody else, nobody else to take a goal line

1109
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 1: carry in that offense. Yeah, Yeah, that's that's I think

1110
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: that's that's defensible. It's defensible. All right, let's go to

1111
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: our next set of matchups. Uh, let's see. Oh, I'm

1112
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: up next Tennessee at Chicago. I'm gonna start with the

1113
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with the running game here between Tajy

1114
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: Spears and Pollard. It's all all of the news out

1115
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: of Tennessee suggests it's going to be a split backfield,

1116
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 1: which is a bummer. The Bears were an elite run

1117
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: defense last year, ranking number three in rushing yards allowed,

1118
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: third in yards per carry, and they return all the

1119
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: good players from their starting seven from last year. And

1120
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: because they were so good, opponents ran the ball at

1121
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 1: the third lowest run percentage. So maybe the right answer

1122
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: here is just bench both. But there's this for Spears

1123
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 1: and Pollard. The Bears were destroyed through the air by runners,

1124
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: allowing the most receiving yards, the most receiving touchdowns, and

1125
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: the second most receptions to running backs. So through the

1126
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 1: air and both guys ten catch not wizards. Through the air,

1127
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: but Spears and Pollard can both catch, so I think

1128
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: they chip in just enough. PPR helped to make both

1129
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: of those guys see grades. The only receiver we're starting

1130
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 1: in this one is Calvin Ridley. DeAndre Hopkins is a

1131
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 1: game time decision, so that means he's either out or

1132
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: he's hobbled by an knee injury, and that means Ridley

1133
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: is going to get shadow covered from the Bears elite

1134
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:27,879
Speaker 1: cornerback Jalen Johnson. He was ranked as quarterback cornerback two

1135
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus, and he allowed per game averages

1136
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: of eleven yards eleven yards in his coverage, wow, and

1137
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 1: zero point zero five touchdowns in his coverage. That's nothing.

1138
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:42,839
Speaker 1: So I can only get you to a C grade

1139
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: on Calvin Lee, even though this passing offense should largely

1140
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 1: go through him or they'll try to get it going

1141
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: through him. For DeAndre Hopkins, I'm just gonna wait till

1142
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: he's healthy. And plus i gotta see if Will Levis

1143
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 1: is a functional NFL quarterback. As a reminder, because I've

1144
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:02,280
Speaker 1: brought this up many times since last year, Will Levis's

1145
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: debut game four touchdowns every start after that game in

1146
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: Week eight four touchdowns combined, staggeringly inefficient in today's NFL,

1147
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 1: and he was under one hundred ninety nine passing yards

1148
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: and half of his starts. I'm just not there on

1149
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: Will Levis. I hope he gets better. We're rooting for

1150
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: Will Levis. I need to see it first.

1151
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 3: It's got all those Mayo commercials. We need those, we do.

1152
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 5: Those actually were good.

1153
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, good for him for capitalizing on a simply grotesque

1154
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 1: obsession with Mayo.

1155
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 2: Correct.

1156
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Chicago side. DeAndre Swift clacks in

1157
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:40,800
Speaker 1: with a bee. I feel like Swift was unfairly blamed

1158
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 1: for a lot of the Eagles struggles last year. I

1159
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: think there's a good chance he's going to be the

1160
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: new workhorse back in offensive coordinator Shane Waldron's offense, like

1161
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: you like Waldron had in Kenneth Davis or sorry, Kenneth Walker,

1162
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: going back a long time for Kenneth Davis, Kenneth Walker.

1163
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 1: Tennessee's run defense largely unchanged, and they were good last year.

1164
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: Only three backs topped eighty eight rushing yards against Tennessee

1165
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 1: last year, and they ranked third in yards per carry aloud.

1166
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: It's a nice opportunity for swift and I've got a

1167
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:09,839
Speaker 1: B grade on him.

1168
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 3: Was Kenneth Davis, the Bills back up running back in

1169
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 3: the nineties to Thurman Thomas.

1170
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it was quite nineties, but it was

1171
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: probably the probably the odds. Yeah, that's going on.

1172
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 3: I feel like I remember him from tech Mobile.

1173
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: Maybe we're maybe I've got barbecue sauce on my mind.

1174
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 3: There we go.

1175
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: You know I did put some I put some Ken

1176
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: Davis on my turkey to go with the Minnesota State Fair. Okay,

1177
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: maybe that was it. Let's go to the passing game.

1178
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: DJ Moore is going to draw the Titans best possible

1179
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: coverage and that's new cornerback Lagerious Snead, acquired from the Chiefs.

1180
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 1: He allowed zero touchdowns in his coverage last year and

1181
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: an opposer passer rating of only fifty seven. So for

1182
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, I think the path of least resistance is

1183
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: going to be with the other receivers. Still, DJ Moore

1184
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 1: too good to bench and his resume, I in pedigree,

1185
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: just keeps him at the B level for me. Let's

1186
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 1: go to Keenan Allen. You'll want to be sure to

1187
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: monitor his heel injury. We think he's going to play

1188
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 1: in this game, but keep an eye on the heel injury.

1189
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 1: Alan faced Tennessee last year and smoked him for one

1190
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: hundred eleventeen yards and two scores. As a member of

1191
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: the Chargers. He did all his damage outside, and I

1192
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: see Alan playing a lot more slot for Chicago because

1193
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: More and a Dunze are outside guys. Alan draws a

1194
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: tricky matchup in the slot against Tennessee slot corner Roger McCreary,

1195
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 1: who didn't allow a touchdown last year and held Alan

1196
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 1: to just one catch for fourteen yards in that specific

1197
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: coverage matchup. Last year, I mentioned Keenan Allen for one

1198
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven total yards, but only fourteen of it

1199
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: came from the slot against Roger McCreary, So I've only

1200
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: got a C grade on Keenan Allen. Now Roma Dunza,

1201
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: I love his potential matchup more and Allen, as I mentioned,

1202
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: draw the two really good quality coverage guys that Tennessee

1203
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 1: has out there. Dunsay's going to see a lot of

1204
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 1: the third cornerback, Chidobe Ouzie, who slumped down to pro

1205
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: football focuses cornerbacks seventy seven. Last year, he allowed an

1206
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: opposer passer rating of one hundred and thirteen, and the

1207
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 1: Bengals were content to just let him walk in free agency.

1208
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: A Duneesay's startable in his NFL debut with a C grade.

1209
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: Now let's talk Caleb Williams. I have little hesitation in

1210
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: starting him in his first NFL game with three startable receivers,

1211
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: give act get his rushing prowess as well. I think

1212
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: he's gotten usually say four for a first start rookie.

1213
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee only faced one particularly mobile quarterback last year. It

1214
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: was Lamar Jackson. He ran for sixty two yards. I

1215
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: would not be surprised if Caylen Williams runs for forty

1216
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 1: fifty sixty yards in this game. And I've got a

1217
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: B grade on the rookie making his first ever start.

1218
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 1: Four Dallas Cowboys taking on the Cleveland Browns is next.

1219
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: I am not very optimistic about the Dallas running game,

1220
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: and particularly in this matchup.

1221
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 4: Yeah no, nor am I. I mean, I choose your

1222
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 4: own adventure on this. So here here's my tag is

1223
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 4: keep z Kelliott and Delvin Cook, our old man combination

1224
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 4: there on your bench.

1225
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 2: Here.

1226
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 4: I will give Rico Dwell a see in this game.

1227
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 4: This is a good matchup if you can stomach the risk,

1228
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 4: because the Browns allowed the highest explosive run rate and

1229
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 4: missed the most tackles per attempt last year. So just

1230
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 4: on that chance, I'm gonna give Rico Dowdell a see.

1231
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 4: I'm also giving Dak Prescott to see he was QB

1232
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 4: four and fantasy points per game last year. But this

1233
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 4: is a tough matchup. The Browns have a nasty pass defense.

1234
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 4: Cleveland allowed the third fewest yards per game and fourth

1235
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:36,479
Speaker 4: fewest fantasy points per game too opposing quarterbacks last year,

1236
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 4: and of course Miles Garrett and Zadarius Smith were both

1237
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 4: PFF top ten pass rushers last year, so Dak is

1238
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 4: not gonna have a lot of time to make his

1239
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 4: decisions either way. Ceedee Lamb remains a must start. I'm

1240
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 4: going to advise people to keep Brandon Cooks on the bench, though,

1241
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 4: in what is a bad matchup here. Jake Ferguson will

1242
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 4: give him a C ranked number eight last year among

1243
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 4: tight ends and fantasy points. But this is of course

1244
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 4: a tough matchup, so if you have a better option,

1245
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 4: sit Jake Ferguson. The Browns allowed the third fewest passing

1246
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 4: yards per game and least fantasy points per game to

1247
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 4: opposing tight ends last year. Moving over to the Browns,

1248
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 4: keep Deshaun Watson on your bench this week. He, of

1249
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 4: course a middling fantasy quarterback last year, did finish quarterback

1250
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 4: fifteen points per game for quarterbacks last year, but that

1251
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 4: was well, ranking number eight among quarterbacks in rushing yards

1252
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 4: per game. If that falls off any we got problems

1253
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 4: unless his passing magically comes back. And the passing is

1254
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 4: not coming back in this game. The Cowboys allowed the

1255
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 4: fifth fewest passing yeards per game last season. Jerome Ford,

1256
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give him a C. Weeks three to seventeen

1257
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 4: last year, after Chubb went down, he averaged fifteen touches

1258
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 4: a game with sixty seven total yards RB twenty during

1259
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 4: that stretch. The Cowboys are a sure tackling team. They

1260
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 4: had the second least tackles missed per attempt last year,

1261
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 4: but they struggle against gap runs and the Browns run

1262
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 4: a ton of gap and Jerome Ford loves running gap.

1263
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 5: So because of that, I'm gonna give him a sea.

1264
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 4: Amari Cooper, I'm gonna give him a be wide receiver

1265
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 4: seventeen and Fantasy points per game last year average ninety

1266
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 4: six receiving yards per game. And this is a solid

1267
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 4: matchup for him because Deron Blant is out for the Cowboys,

1268
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 4: Cooper's going to face Trevon Diggs coming off with torn

1269
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 4: acl and then you'll probably see a little bit of

1270
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 4: the rookie from wake Forest Kaylen Carson as well, so

1271
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 4: it makes the matchup a little.

1272
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 5: Bit better for him.

1273
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 4: Jerry Judy keep him on the bench wide receiver fifty

1274
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,919
Speaker 4: five in Fantasy last year, but this is a tougher

1275
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 4: matchup for him. I think all the targets are going

1276
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 4: to be going to Amari Cooper, David and Joku.

1277
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 5: I'm going to give him a se. He was our

1278
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 5: tight end.

1279
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 4: Seven last year in Fantasy, but was only tight end

1280
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 4: seventeen when Deshaun Watson was behind center. And the Cowboys

1281
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 4: are one of those teams there's a few in the NFL,

1282
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 4: but where they're always good at defending tight ends. Last

1283
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 4: year the Cowboys, and this has been going back a

1284
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 4: couple of years. Cowboys allowed the third fewest receiving yards

1285
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 4: to opposing tight ends last year.

1286
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 5: But we will give Endjoko a seed.

1287
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 1: I think Dante Foreman is really interesting. I think he's

1288
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 1: going to be a factor in this offense. We know

1289
01:02:56,720 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski wants a two headed rushing attack. Yeah, Chubb

1290
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 1: and Hunt for years, right, you know these aren't.

1291
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 5: Chubb and Hunt.

1292
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 1: But I still think I think Jerome Ford's just not

1293
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: a workhorse back. So I think Foreman is going to

1294
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 1: be more in the mix. And you know, I think

1295
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 1: there's a sneaky scenario where he's Fantasy relevant in this

1296
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: very game when you don't want to pass into the

1297
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 1: teeth of the Dallas defense. I could see it.

1298
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 5: Too for sure.

1299
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 1: When we come back, Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, Bo Nicks

1300
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: making his debut. Is this a helpful outcome for the

1301
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos? Is there anybody to play? Find out when

1302
01:03:32,440 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 1: we come back. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly co host

1303
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison. You've got an exciting new game at Fanball.

1304
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1305
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 3: We just launched a brand new mobile app called Fanball Winners,

1306
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 3: and it's a really fun, easy game. It's it's basically

1307
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 3: you pick the winner of each group of three players.

1308
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 3: So this week we have Anthony Richardson, CJ. Stroud, and

1309
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams. Okay, which one of those guys will have

1310
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 3: the most Fantasy points? If you get all three of

1311
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 3: your groups right, you win the split pot overall. And

1312
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 3: it can be you know, a five dollars bet that

1313
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 3: could get you a couple hundred bucks. It's kind of cool,

1314
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 3: all right, And hey, we'll do a deposit match if

1315
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 3: you use FFW as a code. Oh all right, we'll

1316
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 3: do a twenty dollars deposit match. And anybody who wants

1317
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 3: to play it this weekend.

1318
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 1: All right, love it. That's a Fanball Winner app. You

1319
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 1: can download that now.

1320
01:04:56,520 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 3: Ye download it, download on Apple or Andrew devices.

1321
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 1: Fantastic. While you're chatting with us, Matt, Denver taking on

1322
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. It's a new era for Denver Broncos

1323
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: football with a new new quarterback, bow Knicks. I'm not, honestly,

1324
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm not the beggest fan. I'm nervous about bow Nicks.

1325
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: I think I think that is an attitude shared by

1326
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: Thorne Eystrom. Yep, a lot more than I do about it.

1327
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 3: Matt.

1328
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: What are your prospects for your Broncos in this game?

1329
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 3: Well, let's start with Nix and the passing game. I'm

1330
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 3: gonna leave Nix and Courtland Sutton all on the bench

1331
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 3: this week. I think Nix is low A dot in

1332
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 3: the combo of Seattle's decent pass defense is just a

1333
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 3: bad matchup. Over the last eight weeks of the season,

1334
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 3: the Seahawks only allowed eight touchdown passes total, and they

1335
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 3: held seven of the eight quarterbacks they faced under three

1336
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 3: hundred yards. Sutton should see a ton of Devin Witherspoon

1337
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 3: and Tarik Woolan, who both averaged only twenty three yards

1338
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 3: in their coverage per game last season.

1339
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 1: We're good.

1340
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 3: That's tough. So I got the passing game on the bench.

1341
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 3: On the other for the running game, though, Javonte Williams

1342
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 3: and Julil McLaughlin. That McLoughlin, that's a little more interesting.

1343
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 3: The Seahawks defense was one of the worst in the

1344
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 3: league against the run last season, but they re signed

1345
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 3: defensive tackle Leonard Williams, who they traded for during the season,

1346
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 3: and they brought in big run stuffer Jonathan Hankins and

1347
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 3: Michael McDonald, who is a guy from the Baltimore system.

1348
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 3: They're going to try to stop the run here, so

1349
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 3: it's not easy to rely on last year's bad run stats,

1350
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,439
Speaker 3: and they were bad even at the end of the year.

1351
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 3: In the last seven games of the year, seven different

1352
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 3: running backs top seventy yards. Five of those also scored.

1353
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 3: But samaj p Ryan is now out of town and

1354
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 3: that opens about twenty snaps per game for Williams and

1355
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 3: McLoughlin to split. Williams averaged thirty three snaps in about

1356
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 3: fourteen carries per game over the last seven weeks. I

1357
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 3: expect him to be the first and second down guy.

1358
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 3: I'll throw a B grade on him this week. McLoughlin,

1359
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 3: I still expect is the third down, passing down back.

1360
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 3: His playing time was kind of goofy over the last

1361
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 3: couple of months of the year, but what was consistent

1362
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 3: is he was targeted out of the backfield about forty

1363
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 3: percent of the time when on the field with checkdown

1364
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 3: nicks at the helm. I think five catches as plausible,

1365
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 3: so I'll throw a C grade at him. On the

1366
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 3: Seattle side, Ken Walker is an A grade when healthy.

1367
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 3: Last year, Walker was the dude o c Ryan Grubb

1368
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,440
Speaker 3: tended to use one running back at University of Washington.

1369
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 3: I have reason to believe that Walker is healthy at

1370
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 3: the beginning of this year and he wasn't for most

1371
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 3: of the year. Last year, Denver's run defense was a

1372
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 3: dumpster fire last year. The Broncos allowed the most total

1373
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 3: yards to opposing backs last year at just over twenty

1374
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 3: six hundred, which translates to one hundred and fifty three

1375
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 3: total yards per game. So I love Walker yea. The

1376
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 3: wide outs are a bit trickier. DK Metcalf should see

1377
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 3: a lot of Patrick Certain, who just signed that massive

1378
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:54,400
Speaker 3: contract for six hundred and sixty nine coverage snaps last year,

1379
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 3: Certain was only targeted eighty nine times, but when he

1380
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 3: was beat he did allow some decent just he allowed

1381
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 3: the twenty first most yards in his coverage last year

1382
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 3: in the league.

1383
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: Wow, that's surprising.

1384
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 3: Certain is almost as tall as Metcalf, So it's the

1385
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 3: rare case where DK doesn't have that massive heightwaight.

1386
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:13,640
Speaker 1: To balance ring over some helpless cornerback.

1387
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'll throw a b at DK here. Tyler Lockett,

1388
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,719
Speaker 3: he's a little dinged up. He's officially questionable in this one.

1389
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 3: If he goes, he should mostly see Riley Moss on

1390
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 3: the other side of the field. Moss was just a

1391
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:30,799
Speaker 3: backup last year, playing only twenty one snaps, and according

1392
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:34,639
Speaker 3: to Derek Brown of Fantasy pros, Denver ran a ton

1393
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 3: of Cover one defenses last season, and in single high situations,

1394
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:42,759
Speaker 3: Lockett was targeted on just over twenty percent of his routes.

1395
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 3: Run problem with Lockett that thigh injury and he's been

1396
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 3: limited practice earlier in this week, I'll still throw a

1397
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 3: C grade his way if he suited up. Jackson Smith

1398
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,760
Speaker 3: Enigma is the one guy we're all expecting to go

1399
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 3: off this year. His draw against Jaqwan McMillan is a

1400
01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:00,559
Speaker 3: bit interesting. McMillan covers the slot and only allowed an

1401
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 3: average of thirty one yards against last year. But on

1402
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:05,559
Speaker 3: the flip side, he did give up eight touchdowns in

1403
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 3: his coverage. Eight touchdowns on only forty one catches. One

1404
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 3: in five went for a score. So if JSN can

1405
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:16,639
Speaker 3: get to five catches he scores, that's science right there.

1406
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 3: The problem is he only got to five catches four

1407
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,839
Speaker 3: times last year. I'll throw the seed dart at Jackson

1408
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 3: Smith and Jigba. I mentioned starting grades for the receivers,

1409
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 3: so Gino gets a B grade as well, mostly for

1410
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 3: the reasons I liked his receivers, but it's worth mentioning

1411
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 3: that he didn't have many duds last year, even in

1412
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 3: kind of a down season, only five games below eighteen

1413
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 3: standard fantasy points for Gino. So I still like him

1414
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 3: and this matchup doesn't scare me enough to take that

1415
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 3: off me.

1416
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 1: Thor back to Denver for a second. Matt mentioned somemagp

1417
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 1: ran out Audric estime is is he going to follow

1418
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:55,879
Speaker 1: up the works here early in this season?

1419
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:58,840
Speaker 5: Do you think I think he's got a shot? Yeah.

1420
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 4: The only thing that surprises about this stuff the Broncos

1421
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:03,679
Speaker 4: cardon staff has said about him is they keep banging

1422
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:05,720
Speaker 4: the drum that he's like a three down guy. He

1423
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 4: didn't show much on passing downs at Notre Dame, so

1424
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 4: if he's a receiver, that's a dormant skill that they're

1425
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 4: gonna be.

1426
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 1: Picking out Oakland for that.

1427
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 4: And that's the other thing, like I don't understand this

1428
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 4: whole thing, Like Estimate absolutely could be the early downback,

1429
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 4: certainly short yardage guy, be the goal line guy. But yeah,

1430
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:22,680
Speaker 4: he's gonna have to beat out Yavante for that. I

1431
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 4: don't see this three downstuff.

1432
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Raiders taking on the Chargers.

1433
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with Samir White, who got his first

1434
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 1: career start against the Chargers last year, and he wasn't

1435
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 1: bad eighty five total yards in that game. LA's a

1436
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 1: middle of the pack run defense volume backs with seventeen

1437
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 1: or more carries, which Samir Whites getting seventeen or more carries.

1438
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 1: He got more than seventeen, and all of his starts

1439
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: last year averaged seventy rushing yards and half a touchdown,

1440
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 1: which is not great. It's just okay. White could chippen

1441
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 1: some better than expected receiving here though. Last year the

1442
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: Chargers allowed the second most running back receptions and the

1443
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 1: second most running back receiving yards. And people think Samir

1444
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:07,640
Speaker 1: White can't catch. He's just not a gifted receiver. But

1445
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 1: he can catch. And I wouldn't be surprised if he

1446
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 1: hauls in four or five catches in this one. And

1447
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade on Samir White. Earlier in

1448
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 1: the show, I told you Gardner Minshew was my take

1449
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 1: a chance on me quarterback. I've got to be great

1450
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 1: on him. DeVante Adams comes in as an obvious A

1451
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 1: had two solid games against the Chargers last year, including

1452
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:27,640
Speaker 1: a Week fifteen game with one hundred one yards and

1453
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: a touchdown and as I mentioned, didn't take a chance

1454
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: on me. The Chargers secondary might be even worse this

1455
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: year than it was last year, and that brings us

1456
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 1: to two interesting players. Jacoby Myers, a Fantasy Football Weekly favorite,

1457
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 1: a nice play this week. Last year's Chargers allowed the

1458
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 1: fourth most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, the fourth

1459
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:49,680
Speaker 1: most wide receiver touchdowns, and as I keep mentioning, the

1460
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:52,639
Speaker 1: secondary is bad, so it might be worse this year.

1461
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 1: Myers was a low was low volume in the two

1462
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 1: matchups against the Chargers last year, but he did score

1463
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: in the Week fifteen meeting. Brock Bowers. Oh, this was

1464
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 1: a conundrum for me, like part of it because he's

1465
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:08,759
Speaker 1: been laboring with injury, hasn't been able to participate fully,

1466
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 1: and you want to double check his injury status coming

1467
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: into this game. Had he had the full training camp,

1468
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: I'd be like, wheels up, let's go. Brock Bauer's elite opportunity.

1469
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. With him missing the last couple of

1470
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:23,840
Speaker 1: weeks of practice, I'm more nervous here. Chargers were middle

1471
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: of the pack as a tight end defense, giving a

1472
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 1: five touchdowns. They got nuked a couple of times by

1473
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,800
Speaker 1: some very good tight ends. TJ Hockinson had a huge game,

1474
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,760
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey had a huge game. Cole Kmet randomly had

1475
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,519
Speaker 1: a huge game. But otherwise they held opposing tight ends

1476
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 1: in check. So I'm just it's it's the cowards way

1477
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: out and Thor. I'm sure you disagree, but I'm just

1478
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: putting brock Bawers on the bench for one week until

1479
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: I can see what's up.

1480
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 5: I have to disagree.

1481
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 4: He's quarterback proof, he's offensive coordinator proof, he's an idiot proof,

1482
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 4: he's injury proof. That guy's gonna get his manufacturer touch.

1483
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 4: He's going to turn so many five yard throws downfield

1484
01:12:58,040 --> 01:12:59,440
Speaker 4: into twenty two yard completions.

1485
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 1: All right, fine, segret Trey Turner. Don't start Trey Turner yet.

1486
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 1: Watch this kid. I love the deep speed that he

1487
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 1: brings to this game. Watch Trey Turner and let's see

1488
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 1: if this kid doesn't develop. But let's not start him yet.

1489
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:14,800
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Chargers side. I've got a couple

1490
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: of sea grades for you here. Let's start with the

1491
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:21,519
Speaker 1: passing game. Justin Herbert a lot of potentially negative elements here.

1492
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:24,719
Speaker 1: He played the Raiders once last year and was styming

1493
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:27,240
Speaker 1: through the air inexplicably ran into touchdowns, which is not

1494
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:30,879
Speaker 1: gonna happen again. He lost Keenan Allen, he lost Mike Williams.

1495
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:32,719
Speaker 1: He's going to try to get by with Josh Palmer

1496
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 1: and try to break in Lad McConkey on the fly.

1497
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 1: DJ Chark has been ruled out of this game, so

1498
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 1: that takes another veteran receiver away from Justin Herbert. The

1499
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:46,639
Speaker 1: Raiders weren't above average pass defense last year, and they

1500
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:49,599
Speaker 1: return all the key defensive players. And then the other

1501
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 1: part that worries me about Herbert is Jim Harve is

1502
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 1: just gonna run the ball a lot. And so I

1503
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:58,599
Speaker 1: had all that together and I'm just not very optimistic

1504
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:00,200
Speaker 1: about Herbert and he comes in with the seagus right.

1505
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:04,679
Speaker 1: Josh Palmer absolutely startable though the Raiders. As I mentioned

1506
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 1: good pass defense last year. Josh Palmer put up two

1507
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 1: big games against the Raiders, combining for one hundred and

1508
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:13,679
Speaker 1: ninety yards and one touchdown. He's the only returning veteran

1509
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: receiver to the Chargers lineup, and I think this passing

1510
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 1: offense kind of has to go through him. No other

1511
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:24,599
Speaker 1: receivers to start Lad McConkey. I just feel like I don't.

1512
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:26,679
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to go for him in his very

1513
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 1: first game for some of the reasons I mentioned with

1514
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 1: my concern on Justin Herbert. But I understand if you

1515
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 1: drafted him in a spot where you feel like you

1516
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:34,800
Speaker 1: have to start him, I'd rather rest him and just

1517
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:38,600
Speaker 1: check out what happens through one game. JK. Dobbins was

1518
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: might take a chance to be running back, but as

1519
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 1: I mentioned when I talked about him, Gus Edwards is

1520
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 1: my preferred play. It's unclear what the handoff ratio is

1521
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 1: going to be between these two, but Gus is a

1522
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 1: top the depth chart and he's probably going to get

1523
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:51,759
Speaker 1: the goal line looks. And the Raiders had a good,

1524
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 1: not great run defense last year. They ranked eighth and

1525
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 1: run stuff win rate ninth by Pro Football Focus. And

1526
01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 1: run defense Gus, you know, look, he's a non explosi

1527
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: four yard per play per yard per carry grinder with

1528
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 1: some gold line pedigree, and that's about all he brings

1529
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:10,560
Speaker 1: to the table. Here, Come on, Eve, doll boy.

1530
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 5: We're gonna watch him.

1531
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not starting them, but we're gonna watch him

1532
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 1: and hope that things work out for him in the

1533
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 1: long run.

1534
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:17,640
Speaker 5: And more on him later in the show and.

1535
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:19,560
Speaker 1: Later in the show, and by the way, later in

1536
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 1: the show means next segment, because that's all we got left.

1537
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:24,599
Speaker 1: One segment, left, three games to break down, and our

1538
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:27,640
Speaker 1: premature speculation players find out who they are when we

1539
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:56,719
Speaker 1: come back. Welcome back, final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly

1540
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:58,600
Speaker 1: and my last chance to encourage you to play in

1541
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:00,880
Speaker 1: a Guillotine League. Tons of fun on freshest way to

1542
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: play fantasy football. They are blowing up and you can

1543
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 1: play at Guillotine leagues dot com. Premature Speculation. Oh, this

1544
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:11,800
Speaker 1: is where we jump into our time machine and we

1545
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 1: tell you the players that everybody else is going to

1546
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 1: try to pick up next week, but you're already gonna

1547
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 1: pick them up this week. People are gonna wonder how

1548
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 1: you did it. It was the f FW times, Yeah,

1549
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 1: it was the segment. Matt, who is your premature speculation player?

1550
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 3: Well, I've kind of pounded the table for the commanders

1551
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 3: this week, and Thors pounded the table for this guy

1552
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:37,160
Speaker 3: all off season. You notice that I omitted the second

1553
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 3: wide receiver spot there because it's Luke McCaffrey now, who's

1554
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 3: set to start in two wide receiver sets over Diami

1555
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 3: Brown and Ola me Da Zakias, who are just guys

1556
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:50,679
Speaker 3: on an NFL team. If McCaffrey does absolutely anything of note,

1557
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 3: if he catches a ball and makes a good move,

1558
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:56,960
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, if he catches a touchdown, name pedigree

1559
01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 3: alone will make people go bonkers. They're gonna blow all

1560
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:04,880
Speaker 3: of their fab on Luke McCaffrey. I'll even throw a

1561
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 3: bonus C grade on him for this week's game against Tampa.

1562
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 1: There we go, Luke McCaffrey. All right, thor your premature

1563
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: speculation player.

1564
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go with Kimani Vida, my other rookie

1565
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:20,440
Speaker 4: sleeper there. Kamani Vidah and Blake Korm nearly the same dimensions,

1566
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 4: but Vida is the better athlete.

1567
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:22,760
Speaker 5: He's also the.

1568
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 4: Better passing down guy, the best pass blocker in the

1569
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 4: entire class, per Jim Nagy, per PFF. Per his college coach,

1570
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 4: he said he's the best pass blocking running back he's

1571
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 4: ever been around. Vidals also had four thousand rushing yards

1572
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 4: in the FPS over four seasons and caught twenty balls

1573
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:38,799
Speaker 4: or more in all four of those seasons.

1574
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 5: Great contact balance. I love the way that he runs.

1575
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 4: Last year number two in the FPS with ninety two

1576
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:46,719
Speaker 4: broken tackles forced.

1577
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 5: I think Gus Edwards JK.

1578
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:51,680
Speaker 4: Dobbins don't look in your rear view mirrorcause objects are

1579
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 4: closer than they appear. Kamani Vidal will be that team

1580
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:55,799
Speaker 4: starting running back by the end of the season.

1581
01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: Alvin kamaras cooked as a runner, so I'm going to

1582
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:04,519
Speaker 1: give you Jamal Williams. Let's talk about it.

1583
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 3: He's like the same age. Well yeah, way.

1584
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: Different runners in different mileage under four No, they're not

1585
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: the same age. Mall Williams younger. I think, I hope

1586
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: under four yards per carrie in three straight years for

1587
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, four yards per carry is not particularly good.

1588
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 1: His explosive run rate is totally dried up. Kamara's runs

1589
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 1: of twenty or more yards over the last three years

1590
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:31,160
Speaker 1: three three and zero last year, no explosive runs, his

1591
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns the last three years four, two and five,

1592
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 1: and he's also turned into one of the least effective

1593
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 1: goal line carriers in the league, converting just two of

1594
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 1: sorry seven of twenty seven rushing attempts over the past

1595
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:47,080
Speaker 1: two years into touchdowns from inside the five. That's a

1596
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:51,760
Speaker 1: twenty six percent conversion rate that stinks. Jamal Williams is

1597
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:54,599
Speaker 1: going to get backup runner use and he's gonna get

1598
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 1: goal line carries very possibly, and I like him on

1599
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 1: my team.

1600
01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 3: Jamal Williams is three months older than Alvin and they're

1601
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 3: both aged twenty nine.

1602
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 1: I acted very, very upset of me. The Monday Nighter

1603
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:07,559
Speaker 1: is the Jets at San Francisco.

1604
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 3: Matt Yeah, Breisee Hall every week's start and still in

1605
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:12,679
Speaker 3: a grade against a good San fran defense, The Niners

1606
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 3: face five backs who had at least fourteen garys last year.

1607
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 3: Average stat line for those dudes eighty nine total yards

1608
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 3: and zero point eight touchdowns.

1609
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 1: Bad.

1610
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 3: That's good enough. Garrett Wilson is my guy and I

1611
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:26,040
Speaker 3: really love him, but this matchup sucks. Wilson tends to

1612
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:27,720
Speaker 3: move all around the field, so he'll see a few

1613
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 3: characters on Monday Night. Isaac Yaidem, Diamador Lenore. They're tough enough,

1614
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 3: but if he ends up on Charvarius Ward. He's the

1615
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 3: third highest graded corner by Pro Football Focus in seven

1616
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:44,679
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty four coverage snaps last season. Through twenty games,

1617
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:48,400
Speaker 3: they only allowed three touchdowns. I'll still throw a starting

1618
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:51,280
Speaker 3: C grade on Garrett Wilson here. This is about the

1619
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 3: lowest I can personally go on Wilson. I think Rogers

1620
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:56,679
Speaker 3: forces the ball his way enough, maybe a few extra

1621
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:58,920
Speaker 3: times that the volume might be good enough. No one

1622
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 3: else in the passing game for me, including Aaron Rodgers,

1623
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:03,640
Speaker 3: who I will leave on the bench. Last season for

1624
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 3: Rodgers was brutal. He averaged zero passing yards and zero

1625
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:12,360
Speaker 3: scores per game. Just see if you're paying attention charge.

1626
01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:14,800
Speaker 3: But in all seriousness, do you know when the last

1627
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 3: three hundred yard passing game for Rodgers was?

1628
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:20,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean obviously more than a year ago.

1629
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 3: Twenty three games ago Week fourteen of twenty twenty one.

1630
01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 3: In that span, he's only hit the three one. Yeah,

1631
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:30,599
Speaker 3: He's only hit the three touchdown pass mark three times

1632
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 3: in the last twenty three games. So while I'm mostly

1633
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 3: bullish on Rodgers being serviceable this week, I'd like to

1634
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:39,519
Speaker 3: see it first. And the matchup sucks. On the Niner side,

1635
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 3: you thought the San Francisco secondary was tough. Sauce Gardner

1636
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 3: number one graded corner by Pro Football Focus last year,

1637
01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 3: Michael Carter number ten, the weak spot, DJ Reid number

1638
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 3: twenty six. To me, this feels like a super low

1639
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 3: scoring trap of a Monday nighter. I'm gonna give Brock

1640
01:20:57,320 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 3: Purdy just a C. I don't want to broct this week.

1641
01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 3: I'd rather keep him on the bench in games last

1642
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:07,120
Speaker 3: year against top pass defenses in the league. For this,

1643
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 3: I took a team secondary that was ranked by PFF

1644
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:13,519
Speaker 3: at seventy five or higher. Pretty average, two hund twenty

1645
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:17,040
Speaker 3: one passing yards and a touchdown and a half. I'll

1646
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 3: give both Ayuk and Deebo a C grade. Ayuk missed

1647
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 3: pretty much the entire preseason and holdout mode. I don't

1648
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:25,799
Speaker 3: like that, and he's also the more traditional wide receiver.

1649
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:28,719
Speaker 3: Those guys struggled against the Jets secondary that only allowed

1650
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:32,200
Speaker 3: five total touchdowns the wide receivers last year, But the

1651
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 3: guys that broke through were guys that moved around a

1652
01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 3: lot Tyreek Hill once Jalen Waddle twice, both of whom

1653
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:41,200
Speaker 3: are in the Mike McDaniel system, which is the Kyle

1654
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 3: Shanahan system. So maybe there is something here. If I

1655
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 3: have to pick one, it's Debo. I like more because

1656
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 3: of the versatility and the way they can unearth touches

1657
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:53,559
Speaker 3: his way. George Kittle a bee. The Jetes allowed a

1658
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:57,120
Speaker 3: tight end to score double digit PPR Fantasy points nine

1659
01:21:57,200 --> 01:21:59,759
Speaker 3: times last season, nine times.

1660
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 1: Consider how great their corners are. I can see where

1661
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 1: teams go to the tight end a lot against the Jets.

1662
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:08,640
Speaker 3: If Shanahan's got a manufacture first downs, Kittle might be

1663
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 3: the top target in this game. Finally, Christian McCaffrey, who's

1664
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:13,840
Speaker 3: been on the shelf for most of the last three

1665
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:16,680
Speaker 3: weeks with a calf injury that suddenly sounds like it's

1666
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:20,519
Speaker 3: also an achilles injury. Yeah, which makes everyone a bit nervous.

1667
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 3: If you have CMC, by the way, and you don't

1668
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 3: have Jordan Mason and he's available in your league, go

1669
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 3: scoop up Jordan Mason right now.

1670
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:28,799
Speaker 1: And even if you have to trade for Jordan Mason,

1671
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,200
Speaker 1: you know you might want to go that way.

1672
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 3: Especially if the Niners choose to give him an extra

1673
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:35,680
Speaker 3: week off. This is the Monday nighter, you might not

1674
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 3: have McCaffrey. And by the way, McCaffrey better be in

1675
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 3: your flex right now, just in case you need to

1676
01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:44,479
Speaker 3: pivot somewhere else. If he's going, he's still in a grade.

1677
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 3: The Jets were bottom ten against the run last year

1678
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:50,559
Speaker 3: in rushing yards and scores. It's possible that Jordan Mason

1679
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:52,639
Speaker 3: is even a deep dart throw play for this week.

1680
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:55,879
Speaker 3: If CMC is active, I'd give him like the lowest

1681
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:57,160
Speaker 3: C grade imaginable.

1682
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:04,680
Speaker 1: All Right, four, our final matchup of this show, the

1683
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 1: Rams and Lions. You've already alluded to this matchup with

1684
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:09,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think we already talked through six

1685
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:12,639
Speaker 1: seven players in this matchup. There's almost nobody left.

1686
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:14,720
Speaker 5: Have I mentioned that as the highest total on the

1687
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:16,080
Speaker 5: NFL board this week?

1688
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:19,320
Speaker 1: No, you don't say this.

1689
01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:22,360
Speaker 4: Is gonna be a fantasy bonanza. Jered Goff was my

1690
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:25,200
Speaker 4: take a chance on me. Quarterback Jamiir Gibbs. I'm gonna

1691
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:27,480
Speaker 4: give an a He's a must start here. The big plays,

1692
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 4: just the possibility of them could be a bonanza game.

1693
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:32,320
Speaker 4: Rams have an average pass defense. This is a very

1694
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:35,759
Speaker 4: good opportunity here in a matchup for Gibbs. David Montgomery,

1695
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:37,599
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give him a ce. He was our RB

1696
01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:40,639
Speaker 4: fifteen in Fantasy last year and he remains that tackle

1697
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 4: breaking machine that he was at Iowa State for the Cyclones.

1698
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:46,160
Speaker 4: Number eight and yards after contact per attempt last year.

1699
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 4: Rams have a middling run defense and it did not

1700
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:51,680
Speaker 4: get better after they traded the linebacker Ernest Jones the

1701
01:23:51,720 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 4: fourth to the Titans, but risk of the gamescript flipping

1702
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 4: against Montgomery and going more pass heavy dings them a

1703
01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 4: little bit in my eyes. The same Brown and Sam

1704
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:04,040
Speaker 4: Laporte both obviously must starts. Jamison Williams was might take

1705
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 4: a chance on me wide receiver moving over to the Rams.

1706
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford, I'm gonna give him a bee. This is

1707
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:11,679
Speaker 4: his first game in Detroit as a member of the Rams.

1708
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:14,360
Speaker 4: The Rams, though in this game, they may be without

1709
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:17,320
Speaker 4: both offense starting offensive tackles and Alaric Jackson. We know

1710
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:21,040
Speaker 4: he's gonna be out. He suspended, and Rob Havenstein has

1711
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:21,759
Speaker 4: an ankle injury.

1712
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:24,639
Speaker 1: So those are make Those are relegit losses right there,

1713
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:27,439
Speaker 1: especially against a really good pass rush for the Lions.

1714
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 5: The Lions have so fearsome edge rushers. Uh.

1715
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:31,840
Speaker 4: Stafford coming off the season where he scored twenty two

1716
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 4: point five fantasy points per game in five of the

1717
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 4: last six games.

1718
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 5: Uh, but we're gonna give him a b in this one.

1719
01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 4: Kyron Williams, I'm gonna give him a bee, which might

1720
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 4: be scandalous that a lot of people might get, you know,

1721
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:44,479
Speaker 4: call him a mustard. Ah of course, Kyron played eighty

1722
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 4: two percent of the snaps last year, but that's not

1723
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:50,120
Speaker 4: happening again with Blake Kormantown. I'm concerned that Kyron snaps

1724
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:52,719
Speaker 4: and touches both go down and that he's yanked inside

1725
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 4: the ten yard line. Last year he averaged a touchdown

1726
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:57,679
Speaker 4: per game. That is not happening again. But of course

1727
01:24:57,720 --> 01:24:59,680
Speaker 4: he's gonna be on the field for all passing down

1728
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 4: work and a bit a little bit more than that presumably,

1729
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 4: and this is gonna be a good game for both

1730
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:07,679
Speaker 4: offense and passing. Blake Corum was might take a chance

1731
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:11,400
Speaker 4: on me running back Poka Nakua is healthy, it seems,

1732
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 4: and he is a must start with that designation. De

1733
01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:16,479
Speaker 4: Marcus Robinson was charged to take a chance on me

1734
01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 4: wide receiver Cooper Cup.

1735
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 5: I'm gonna give him a bee in this. I think

1736
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:21,799
Speaker 5: this is likely his last year with the Rams.

1737
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 4: The Rams are gonna save twelve and a half million

1738
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 4: dollars if it can trade him next offseasons. So this

1739
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:27,920
Speaker 4: might be the swan Song dealt with ankle the ankle

1740
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:31,080
Speaker 4: spring and hamstring injuries last year, but in this game,

1741
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 4: very good script here the highest total again. Lions secondary

1742
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 4: gave up the most passing yards per game last year.

1743
01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:40,200
Speaker 4: Detroit did attempt, I mean over and over again this

1744
01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 4: offseason to improve that secondary. They added Terry and Arnold

1745
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 4: and Enis Regsher on the draft and Carlton Davis in

1746
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 4: free agency. But we'll give Cooper a cup of bee here.

1747
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 4: Rams tight Ends, you have to keep him on the bench.

1748
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:52,559
Speaker 4: Tyler Higbee's injured. The other two I don't want any

1749
01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 4: part of. In this game.

1750
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 1: The line secondary was the big problem for the whole team. Yeah,

1751
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 1: that's ultimately what costs them a trip to the super Bowl.

1752
01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 1: I believe less so than say they're head coach making

1753
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, crazy decisions in a particular game. But it

1754
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:08,640
Speaker 1: might take a while for all those moving parts in

1755
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:12,240
Speaker 1: this for sure. That's new line secondary not only cl.

1756
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 5: Not an easy matchup either.

1757
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, for that thing to jail, it's gonna have to

1758
01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 4: je and cohal as quick because they're going to be

1759
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:18,719
Speaker 4: attacking that secondary all game long.

1760
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:21,679
Speaker 1: For sure. And it's Sean McVay. He knows what he's doing. Yes,

1761
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:23,920
Speaker 1: all right, We've got just a couple of moments here

1762
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:29,120
Speaker 1: at the end. What fab bid? What percentage of your

1763
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 1: fab for the season? Would you put on Isaiah Likely

1764
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 1: if he's a free agent in your league.

1765
01:26:35,439 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 3: Like three or four percent? Because most of my leagues

1766
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:40,920
Speaker 3: I got a tight end, I think. But yeah, that

1767
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 3: seems like a little bit of an over overreach for me.

1768
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 4: All Right, I go if I needed a tight end,

1769
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 4: I go up to thirty, you go up to thirty.

1770
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm like, I'm about a third of

1771
01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:54,680
Speaker 1: my whole season on Isaiah Likely. What we saw is

1772
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:58,680
Speaker 1: absolutely replicatable. He is going to be there effect effectively.

1773
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:02,559
Speaker 1: There one a flowers of that passing game. Yeah, that kid?

1774
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:06,519
Speaker 1: Is he so legit? Yeah, so legit. I love I love,

1775
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 1: we loved him as a rookie. It's just it's all

1776
01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 1: coming again.

1777
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:10,840
Speaker 4: Did you see that stat word that one touchdown he

1778
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:12,479
Speaker 4: had where he turned around deep that guy and then

1779
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 4: ran into the end zone That it was a zero

1780
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:16,880
Speaker 4: point three touchdown expectancy on that play based on the

1781
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:17,719
Speaker 4: next gen stats.

1782
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:19,000
