Speaker 1: along with the guys from fanball dot com. Years the

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: host for Fantasy Football Weekly in his time for America's

6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: longest running fantasy football show, Fantasy Football Weekly, I am

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: Paul Charchy. In my coast today are Brian Johnson and

8
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: Scott Fish. Hello, gentlemen. What's going on charts? Someone's a

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: little rusty. Yeah, Oh my god, button got you a

10
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. That's it has been a couple of weeks.

11
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed the time away from the show.

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: Full our listeners didn't take time away from the show,

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: because we're gonna break down every game fantasy style. We'll

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: give you a letter grade on every player, which we do,

15
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: and we also give you our rationale for reach grade,

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: so you can decide if you're on board or not

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: with ourt thinking. And then a few minutes from now,

18
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: we'll give you nine eyes upon whom you can take

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: a chance. These are players that are often on the

20
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: waiver wire, Guys you would not normally start, but you

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: can this week. Later on, we'll answer three tough questions.

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: And last week I said it was gonna be the

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: last week of premature speculation because the bye weeks were

24
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: over and we're gonna need all the time we could get.

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: But I forgot we had the Thanksgiving games. So now

26
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: with the extra time afforded to us, with three games over,

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: premature speculation is back. Oh yeah, you quickly figure. Yes,

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: a bit of a dynasty twist to it too, though, right,

29
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: well necessarily if you if you that's the way you

30
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: want to go with it, you could, but that's sound.

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: I'll leave that up to you. Okay, well that's how

32
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: I interpreted the homework, but we'll get to that later. Yeah,

33
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: we will get to that later. We will start, however,

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: with oh, let me mention this maybe as the as

35
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: before we dive right into matchups in Cleveland. Pittsburgh's coming

36
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: up first. Adam Feeland's status is going to go. It

37
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: appears it's going to be unknown going into the Monday

38
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: night game. The advice that I have is make another plan.

39
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: One of those viable plans can be to d it

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: out all the way to Monday night and pick up

41
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon the Vikings have given up. They rant and

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdowns allowed twenty third and wide receiver yardage allowed.

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon generally available in leagues. She could pick up

44
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon now uh and have him ready to swap

45
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: in for Adam theland But overall, broadly, I think you

46
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: need to have a backup plan ready to go theland owners,

47
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: and at this point you probably do because it's been

48
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: five weeks of this nonsense. Get well soon. Let's dive

49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: into the matchups. Cleveland taking on Pittsburgh Scott. Even with

50
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt getting a lot of work in this offense,

51
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb has remained very vital. He's getting plenty of carries,

52
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: in fact, averaging twenty three carries in the games with

53
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: with Kareem Hunt, how do you like him in this

54
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: matchup against Pittsburgh? I still like chubbing this matchup. As

55
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: you mentioned, Kareem Hunt is is getting them all attended.

56
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: Twelve touches a game, Nick Chubb twenty two to twenty

57
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: seven touches a game. They're just feeding their running back

58
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: right now and it's making it's making the offense run

59
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: smoother than than put in Mayfield's hands the whole time.

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: Chubb has twenty plus touches in all but one game

61
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: this year and is averaging a hundred twenty five total

62
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: yards in those games. I still have an A grade

63
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: on him. I don't blame me. I have a C

64
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: grade on Hunt though, because he's getting that receiving work.

65
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: He's averaging five catches per game in those three in

66
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: the three games, he's played forty five to seventy seven

67
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: yards in all three and he's had ton touches in

68
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: each game. So he's viable in this as a C grade.

69
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: That's exactly what we told you you were gonna get

70
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: out of Kareem Hunt and he was coming back. We're like, look,

71
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna get four, five, six, seven ish catches, and

72
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna get yards, and you're gonna he's gonna give

73
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: you a chance of touchdowns. We also thought the Browns

74
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: would be like eight and three. At least the fantasy

75
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: side is working out for that, okay, So in the

76
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: passing game, Baker Mayfield is gonna be for me. Pittsburgh

77
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: has been stingy, holding six of the last eight eight

78
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks they faced under two hundred yards and wrecking up

79
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: eleven interceptions on those, but Mayfield has seemed to turn

80
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: the corner with eight total touchdowns in the last few weeks,

81
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: and he managed three touchdowns just despite lowyard. It's just

82
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: two weeks ago against the same Steelers team and he

83
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: gets David Njoku back. The offenses look better since then,

84
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: So I'm giving Mayfield a soft B. That's what we

85
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: call it. Okay, b uh Landry, who is the alpha

86
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: in this receiving corps, gets an A grade for me.

87
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: He's completely overtaken OH b J as the lead dog

88
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: in this pound I guess dog pound here. Over his

89
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: last four games, he's averaging over seven catches per game

90
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: and scored five times, including at least one touchdown in

91
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: all four games. For the last four OH b J

92
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: B grade he had ten targets and I'm gonna air

93
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: quote that for radio because if you watch that game

94
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: against the Steelers that he had ten targets, Mayfield was

95
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: not close to him on half of them. So if

96
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: Mayfield can get him on target, uh his targets on targeted,

97
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: his targets on target, O b J could have a

98
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: better day. And remember he was tackled at the one

99
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: on one as well. He almost scored. So uh he's

100
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: top fifty yards in sixth straight and averages five catches

101
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: per game in those. Uh, he's safer each week than

102
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: people give him credit for because we expect these huge

103
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: blow up games. But he is getting you, you know,

104
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: five for fifty or so. It's not great. Nobody took

105
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: ode Odell Beckham hoping for five, I know. But when

106
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: we're talking about starting him against the Steelers in week

107
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: thirteen here, you can expect the five for fifty hope

108
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: for a little more. I'm giving him a B grade there.

109
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: And Joeku in his first game back, I'm still sitting

110
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: on the bench, just just for now. He has three

111
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: catches in all but one game under with Mayfield under center,

112
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: but this is his first week back, and the Browns

113
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: had barely targeted the tight end at all this year,

114
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: maybe because Ninjo who has been out, but outside of

115
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: a two touchdown Will Disley game and a and a

116
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: big Hunter Henry game, the Steelers have basically shut own

117
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: head ends all year. On the other side, I think

118
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: Invention the almost the entire team against the Browns with

119
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: Duck Hodges at quarterback. Uh, Juju is gonna be out.

120
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: He's likely somewhere. Yeah, I like Duck Hodges, but not

121
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: in this matchup. Juju is gonna be out, which is

122
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: bad for the whole off. Is that the revenge duck

123
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: for Joe Hayden? Well wait wait it is. It is

124
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: the Duck Hodges sounded Now you just heard the Duck

125
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: Hodges version. This is the revenge duck version. He's a

126
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: faster um It's it's technically exactly the same. It's really

127
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: it's just a context. You know, the listeners and Captain

128
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: Cipher this themselves. But you know, we needed a sounder

129
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: for revenge when there's a revenge matchup, like when Jarvis

130
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: Landry plays the Dolphins or whatever. Right, so we need

131
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: But what's the sound of revenge? It's something like that.

132
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I don't know. That's from a movie. I

133
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: got that. The only I've only have here's the the

134
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: only other thing I have on the button bar. Is

135
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: this that's not revenge. It reminds me a die hard

136
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: and there's some revenge aspects and dying. It was a

137
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: lot of revenge. It's way better than a duck. I'm

138
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: just gonna throw it. I kind of like the revenge

139
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: dot revenge. You control the board. So boy, well, I

140
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: do have Mason Hodges on the bench. It is a

141
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: benefit that he's not Mason Rudolph. I mean that's a

142
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: good side, but the bad side is the Steelers are

143
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: top ten. It gets quarterbacks in almost every category, especially

144
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: over the last five weeks. Uh do do Obviously on

145
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: the bench, he's likely somewhere driving a hundred four miles

146
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: with the concussion while using his film, different film to

147
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: film it. Uh. James Washington is the only one I

148
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: might consider, but I'm still not because he went duck

149
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: hunting with Duck Hodges. Do you see that? That's amazing? Yeah,

150
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: that's there's a connection there. I didn't know that Duck

151
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: Hodges got his name because he was a duck hunter

152
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: until this week National duck Caller. I had no idea.

153
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: I just thought it was just some quirky name him

154
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: that people you know, national champion duck color. I had

155
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: no Does he take him down with footballs? That would

156
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: be impressive, that would be that would be really impressive. Yeah,

157
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: there's the really left in this matchup. We've got to

158
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: be done. No, well, like twenty eight minutes into this

159
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: right now, but we talked about revenge ducks for eight

160
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: of them. So I would have given Benny Snell a

161
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: S grade if James James Conner didn't decide to start

162
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: to get healthy and want to get in. So maybe

163
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: he gets the C grade if he goes. I think

164
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: he does. I think Benny Snell is actually pretty good

165
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: play this week, Yeah, I I do. If James Conner

166
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: stays out, he's not playing. James Connor is not playing,

167
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: and even if he does, he's doubtful. Even if he

168
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: does play, start how many plays does he get? Six?

169
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: Don't get him started with James Conner fish he's going

170
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: to be a Ram. Yeah. It probably a lot of hatred,

171
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: but understandably l a the Rams take on the Arizona Cardinals.

172
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: Now for the Rams side, the entire passing game is

173
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: a complete disaster. Behind Jared Goff a tree. Tip of

174
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: the hat. Tip of the hat to our frequent co

175
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: host Matt Harrison, who pegged this thing in the preseason

176
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: and has been riding out his advice all season on

177
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: avoiding basically all parts of the Ram passing game. He

178
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: saw this coming in a way that nobody else did

179
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: that I know. Of What do you think about this

180
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: opportunity against Arizona. All right, I was gonna start with

181
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, but we'll start with the passing game. And

182
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup gonna give him a B. And of course

183
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: every one of these receivers is yes, Jared Goff is

184
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: his quarterback. You know that's the asterisk in all this.

185
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: But Arizona has allowed eleven touchdowns. Slot receivers Tyler Boyd

186
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: and Danny Amndla alone combined for seventeen catches, two seven

187
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. I'm still giving Cooper Cup a

188
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: B despite Jared Goff. Just insert by the way, despite

189
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: Jared Goff after each one of these receivers eleven. Most

190
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: NFL teams haven't given up eleven wide receivers touchdowns period.

191
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: The Cardinals have given up a love into the slot

192
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: receiver almost as many tight end touchdowns that they We'll

193
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: get to that in a second. Um Robert Woods again,

194
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: despite Jared Goff, I'm gonna give him a see a

195
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: good candidate to see more targets. If Gerald Everett can't play,

196
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that in a second. And Arizona has

197
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: allowed a league high twenty nine passing touchdowns, shockingly less

198
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: than half of gone to wide receivers. But Byron Murphy

199
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: and Patrick Peterson aren't much of a concern sad that

200
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: Pat Pete isn't these days, so I'm still gonna give

201
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: the Woods to see um. But what is the concern

202
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: is Jared Goff yet again. And that's why Brandon Cooks

203
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: is on the bench because he's the deep ball guy.

204
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: And Goff's completion percentage on passes of twenty yards or

205
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: more is under thirty percent. It's like it's like twelve

206
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: or forty. It's something incredibly awful. So I got Cooks

207
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: on the bench way to boom or bust and Gerald Everett.

208
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: Here's the analysis if you don't know, the most catches

209
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: allowed to tight ends, the most yards, the most touchdowns.

210
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: So that's what the Cardinals have surrender to opposing tight ends.

211
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: But he's been very limited. Uh, he was limited on Friday,

212
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: has not practiced all. Well, you gotta add Higby. I

213
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: think in almost any league, just because you might, Higby

214
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: would be more enticing TV top ten tight ends. So

215
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: if they rule out ever, if they rule out Evert

216
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday, this is a late afternoon game, we should

217
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,479
Speaker 1: say we're mentioning early in the show. But it's a

218
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: four o'clock Eastern start. Yes, So if they rule out Everett,

219
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: where would you rank Higby? See top five. He's not

220
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: Kelsey and I think he's a tight end one in

221
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: that he's a top twelve option. I don't see how

222
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: he's not like that. That's pretty pretty impressive for a

223
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: Tyler Higby. But anyway, Jared Goff, though still on the bench,

224
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: we won't get into that. And Todd Gurley, I didn't

225
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: give him an a in this one. Thirty one touches

226
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks, practically a bell cow again.

227
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 1: The Cardinals are top twelve and rushing yards allowed to

228
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,599
Speaker 1: running backs, and over the last four games, Arizona is

229
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: allowing ten catches and eighty yards per game through the

230
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: air to running backs with top girl is and anymore

231
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: this year. He finally was getting targeted in the passing

232
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: game last year. But yeah, last week last week, sorry, um,

233
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: but help that they were down by a billion early.

234
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: This is this is probably the girly game of all

235
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: girly games. Is gonna be this game, even though he's

236
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: kind of been hot lately. Anyway, over to the Arizona side,

237
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: who also has been hot as Kyler Murray uh total

238
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: five touchdowns across two recent meetings with the forty niners

239
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: and uh so Kylin Roe's getting drafted what six rounds

240
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: before Lamar Jackson in the pre season, so we won't

241
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: talk about that. But I think Lamar laid out a

242
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: pretty nice blueprint globile quarterback in shred the Rams. So

243
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: I think just a B from Murray though, because I'm

244
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: not in love with the past catchers Christian Kirk just

245
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: to see when healthy. Kirk has commanded percent of the

246
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals target share, but over the last two weeks he's

247
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: run eight five percent of his routes from the boundaries,

248
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: not the slot. Only interesting the st He'll still see

249
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: a ton of Jalen Ramsey, who isn't as shut down

250
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: as he has been, but still Ramsey has not allowed

251
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: a touchdown in his coverage this season, and Larry Fitzgerald

252
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: I have on the bench held under fifty yards and

253
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: six of his last eight games draws a tough match

254
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: matchup in Nickel Roby Coleman, who only allowed one touchdown

255
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: this season, and that was to Chris Godwin in Week four.

256
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: So I got old fits on the bench unfortunately, and

257
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake, the only running back worth talking about on

258
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: this team, has averaged over five yards per carrys since

259
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: the trade to Arizona. The Rams are good against the run.

260
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: They've only allowed three running backs to top a hundred

261
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: rushing yards on the year, Christian McCaffrey in week one,

262
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: Chris Carson in Week five, and mark Ingram last week.

263
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: But the one correlation is all those running backs have

264
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: very mobile quarterbacks like Kenyan has with Kyler Murray, McCaffrey

265
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: had Cam Newton in week one, not not Kyle Allen.

266
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: And the Rams have also conceded at least five catches

267
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: and or a receiving touchdown to running backs in fourth straight.

268
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: So I got a b on Kenyan Drake. Alright, Sorry

269
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: that was very long, and I know in fact, you

270
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: know what, Let's say we normally do three matchups here,

271
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break instead, we'll we'll push San

272
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: Francisco Baltimore into our next segment. San Francisco Baltimore is

273
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: a signature matchup with all kinds of intrigue into that game.

274
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about that when when we come back

275
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: for our next segment in the meantime everything charge. That's me.

Speaker 1: not lormally in our starting line up. Will tell you

286
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: a chance on me Fantasy Football Week. Cle my co

287
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: host and I will provide three quarterbacks, to running backs,

288
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: and three receivers who we believe are startable this week,

289
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: and unique situations for unique reasons, beginning with Brian Johnson

290
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. After taking Mitch Trubisky last week,

291
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: even though we had two touchdowns, little two touchdowns, I

292
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: need a bit of a lay up here, so I'm

293
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: taking Jacksonville's Nick Foles at home versus the Bucks. It's

294
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: quite simple. Tampa is allowing forty two pass attempts per game,

295
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: the highest clip in the league, and prior to the

296
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: Falcons game last week, the Bucks had allowed multiple passing

297
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns in eight straight games. In five of those eight games,

298
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: they allowed at least three passing touchdowns. Foals doesn't get

299
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: it done, though, it's Gardener menshown. I'll tell you that's

300
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: right back to Gardner minsh All right, Scott, I'm sticking

301
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: with the Sam Donald train. Gave an a grade this week.

302
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: Actually has seven touchdowns in the last two weeks, averaging

303
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: over three hundred yards, and those He's even tacked on

304
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: a couple of Russian touchdowns in the last three weeks,

305
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: and the Bengals had given up multiple touchdowns and allowed

306
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: an average of over three hundred yards per game in

307
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: three games. Were to holding on dead head and duck

308
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: caller last week and he made out with a girl. Yeah,

309
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: way to go, Sammy boy. Just one. I was like,

310
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: come on, kidding in New York. One In New York,

311
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: if you go to Jersey, usually they come in a

312
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: six pack. They might send the Jets over to Hoboken

313
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: to celebrateing, not Manhattan. Andy Dalton was benched as the

314
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: league leader in completions. How Bengals is that? Now he's

315
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: Now now he's back and he gets the Jets. Now,

316
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: I know the Jets just shut down Derek Carr and

317
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: I don't care. In the month prior to that, the

318
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: Jets got rocked for twelve touchdowns by four guys who

319
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: had been on the bench at some point this year,

320
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew R. Fitzpatrick, Daniel Jones, and Dwayne Haskins. Twelve

321
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns from those guys. Andy Dalton's the best quarterback out

322
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: of this group. I fully expect they solid game from

323
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. Let's go to the running back position, Brian

324
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: I got Green Bay's Jamal Williams at the Giants. Now,

325
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna mention Green Bay wide receivers in this very quickly.

326
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: Since Week five, this is seven games a Green Bay

327
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: Packer wide receiver has caught at least fat five passes

328
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: only four times in the last seven games. It's been

329
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: Davante Adams three times and then Alan's Art once. Jamal

330
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: Williams is arguably the best receiver on that team outside

331
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: of Davante Adams. Last week, Williams saw eight targets to

332
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. Is one He actually outtouched Aaron Jones last

333
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: week and the Giants are one of four teams that

334
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: haven't surrendered surrendered to receiving scored a running back, but

335
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: they've allowed some big, some massive catch totals to the position.

336
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: Minnesota running backs at seven catches, New England backs had thirteen.

337
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: The Bears backs had twelve last week. So Jamal Williams

338
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: doesn't have a big game, and so is Aaron Rodgers.

339
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: Will talk about this more. Yeah, you will, uh member

340
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: three quarterback this week? Scott Who's gonna take a chance

341
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: of me? Running back? I'm going with Miles Sanders. It

342
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: looks like Howard's going to be out again and it's

343
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: gonna be the Sanders a gi show, and Sanders out

344
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: snapped him by a ton last week. Sanders has at

345
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: least three catches in seven of the last eight games,

346
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: so he's gonna get you some PPR points and he's

347
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: at least thirteen touches in those games, averaging over five

348
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: yards per touch. The Dolphins, if they're not good. They're

349
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: allowing second most total yards per game to running backs

350
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: and also the most attempts and most rushing yards. It's

351
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: it's just a smash spot for Sanders. The worst run

352
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: defense in the NFL is the Carolina Panthers, and so

353
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna take Darius Guys for a breakout game coming

354
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: up here. Last week he got more carries and Adrian

355
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: Peterson and Wendell Small but of course, but for Peterson,

356
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: if you don't know, knee lingering, knee and toe injuries

357
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: have really hobbled him. He's been running at about two

358
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: and a half yards per clip over the last couple

359
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: of games. This is all setting up for the big

360
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: breakout game for Darius Guys here. Running backs have scored

361
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: in seven straight games against the Panthers. In their last

362
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: five games, they've given up ten running back touchdowns on

363
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: four rushing yards per game and five and a half

364
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: yards per carry. If Guys is going to get the

365
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: majority of the work, I love him in this matchup.

366
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: Let's go to the receivers. Brian, you know I gotta

367
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: get grimy with the tight end by you. New York's

368
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants. I should say Caden Smith,

369
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: who might be Will Smith's son lately Leaven will Smith's

370
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: son can do well against the Packers, who are allowing

371
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: seven catches per game to tight ends over the last

372
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: five games. Darren Waller, Travis Kelsey, George Kittle, and Dallas

373
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: Goddard alone have combined for five touchdowns and no, Kayden

374
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: Smith is not any of those guys. But Evan Ingram

375
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: ruled out, Rett Ellison ruled out, Golden Tate is out,

376
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: and talk about this game more. But Caden Smith five

377
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: catches in a touchdown last week. I bet he repeats

378
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: that performance this week as well. I'm going with Jack Doyle.

379
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm staying on the tight end U boat here, buddy.

380
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: We got Eric hebron Now out for the season. Uh. Hooper,

381
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: Henry Kelsey into Joeku all had great games against Wow.

382
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: I lost my train of thought here against the Tennessee Titans. Yeah. Uh,

383
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: Indie tight ends have average six point four catches on

384
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: nine point two targets and nearly seventy yards per game

385
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: when Hilton is limited or out. And that's all you

386
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: brown this week. Um, it's a good when Doyle, you

387
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: put Doyle and Ebron together, you've got tight end five

388
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: and it's there in terms of their fantasy production. If

389
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,239
Speaker 1: Doyle's gonna get all of Ebron's production, and I think

390
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna get most of it, I don't think. Uh,

391
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: Molly Ali Cox. What is that guy's moli ai. I

392
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: don't think all the Ali action for he's gonna get

393
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: a lot of gotta get a lot of work suddenly

394
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: in that offense. My take a chance on me receiver

395
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: is an actual wide receiver d D. Westbrook against Tampa Bay,

396
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: the league's worst secondary by a mile. In the last

397
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: five games, no team has surrendered more scores or fantasy

398
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: points to opposing wide receivers. And Westbrook runs out of

399
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: the slot. And that's really important here because Up was

400
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: trolling out their fourth slot wide receiver. Now a guy

401
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: named Mike Evans, a converted safety. He's way too slow

402
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: to hang with D. D. Westbrook, who's got four three speed,

403
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: and I think Westbrook clicks for at least one long

404
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: touchdown in this game. I like it. Thank you. Let's

405
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: move on to some of our matchups, including San Francisco

406
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: and Baltimore, a fascinating matchup between two great defenses and

407
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: two offenses that generally fantasy owners can rely upon. Let's

408
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: start with the San Francisco side, and I'm gonna start

409
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: with the running game here, where Tevin Coleman just gets

410
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: a C grade. He's averaged only twenty nine rushing yards

411
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: and twenty six receiving yards per game and scored just

412
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: one touchdown over his last month of games. It's not

413
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: been great for Tevin Coleman, and and that's been with

414
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: Matt Brita out and by the way, and there's a

415
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: chance Brita is gonna play in this game, or even

416
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: a likelihood he plays in this game, and that just

417
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 1: muddies the water unfortunately for him. Although you wouldn't want

418
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: to start Brita if even if he does go, who knows,

419
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: any play could be his last. It's noting here that

420
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: San Francisco used to be have the highest run percentage

421
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: in the league for about the first half of the season,

422
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: but that's really changed lately and now they're down to

423
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: the ninth highest on the season, so they're they're really

424
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: much more of a balanced offensive attack of late. The

425
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: Ravens are the opponent. They've been victim of some garbage

426
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: time rushing stats lately, but I still held their running

427
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: backs to just three point eight yards per carry and

428
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: just two scores in the last six games. So that's

429
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: why Tevin Coleman is just a C grade here. And

430
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: we're not going to start Brita or most diret Those

431
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: guys need much easier matchups. Let's go to the passing game,

432
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: where Jimmy Garoppolo gets a C grade. He notched a

433
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: career best pass rating of a hundred forty five against

434
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: the Packers last time we saw him. He's completed over

435
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: seventy his passes and four of the past five games,

436
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: which is downright breezy and in magnitude. He's thrown multiple

437
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns in four the past five games, which is downright

438
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: mahomes e in. But the Ravens have dominated opposing quarterbacks

439
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: ever since they got Jimmy Smith back from injury and

440
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: added in Marcus Peters. They've been rule since Week nine.

441
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: They're allowing an average of just two d eight passing

442
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: yards and zero point five touchdowns also known as half

443
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: a touchdown per game. None of garoppolos receivers have a

444
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: positive matchup in this game, and let's talk about those now,

445
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: beginning with Deebo Samuel, who has been red hot since

446
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders injury with ten yards per catch, but most

447
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: often faced Marcus Peters has been great, and the Ravens

448
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: give up just four point seven yards per pass attempt

449
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: that second lowest. I think that takes the deep all

450
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: away from Deebo Samuel. He's just a C grade. Emmanuel

451
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: Sanders has not been the same since his rib injury,

452
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: and this is again a very tough matchup. Baltimore is

453
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: only allowed one wide receiver score in the last five games.

454
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: He will see a lot of Marlon Humphrey got hurt

455
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: against the Rams, but came back into that game and

456
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: should play here. And he just held Cooper Cup the

457
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: thirty five scoreless yards. So Emmanuel Sanders is on the

458
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: bench in this one. The only other guy worth mentioning

459
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: is George Kittle. He slumps to an unusual B grade here.

460
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: The Ravens have only allowed one tight end touchdown over

461
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: the last six weeks and haven't allowed a tight end

462
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: to top thirty four yards during those six weeks. It's

463
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: it's just this simple. The Ravens defense is awesome. Now

464
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: let's go to the other side and let's begin with

465
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: the fantastic storyline of Lamar Jackson, who will talk about

466
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: in a little more detail later on in this show.

467
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: It is a testament to Lamar Jackson's ungodly fantasy prowess

468
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: that he is still getting an A grade from me.

469
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: In the face of all of this. The ranked number

470
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: one against the pass. They ranked number three in passing

471
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed. Lamar Jackson loves his tight ends. The Niners

472
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: ranked number one in tight end yards allowed. They've given

473
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: up one tight end touchdown since Week two. Now, who cares?

474
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: Your one angle is San Francisco has allowed to fifty

475
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: yard rushing performances in the last three weeks, and also

476
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: Brian him who cares? Who cares Lamar Jackson? Then the

477
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: rules also apply. I mean, the Patriots are great defense

478
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: and Lamar touchdowns and absolutely so I still have an

479
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: A grade on Lamar Jackson. Mark Ingram also gets an

480
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: A grade. Since his week gate by, he's averaging total

481
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: yards and one point three touchdowns per game despite getting

482
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: fifteen touches per game, and since Week eight, opposing lead

483
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: backs of average a hundred sixteen total yards and almost

484
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: a touchdown per game against the forty nine. So the

485
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: fot Nanders pass defense has remained very stout. The run

486
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: defense has been has been a little softer lately, so

487
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: I think mark Ingram, who's mostly performed in every game

488
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: like all year, stays as an A grade a couple

489
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: other guys. I want to mention Mark Andrews. It gets

490
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: a B grade here. Andrews has scored three times over

491
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: the past three weeks, but it's only registered two catches

492
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: in three of the last five, and that's always kind

493
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: of the issue for him is volume because Lamar Jackson

494
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: just doesn't pass that much, and then when he does,

495
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: he passes to three different tight ends and is set receivers.

496
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: San Francisco is arguably the top tight end defense in

497
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: the league, as I mentioned outlined earlier, so Andrews just

498
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: gets a B grade here. Marcus Brown scored twice last week,

499
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: but this is a far tougher matchup. No wide receivers

500
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: topped eighty eight yards against San Francisco since all the

501
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: way back in Week two. Brown spends his time running

502
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: from the slot or right side of the field. That

503
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: gives him brutal matchups with quick Kawan Williams and Richard Sherman.

504
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: So just to see great on Marcus Brown in this game,

505
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: and that wraps up a tricky but fascinating game to

506
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: watch on Sunday morning. Let's go to our next matchup,

507
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: which is Philadelphia taking on Miami. Scott for the Eagles,

508
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: it sounds like they will maybe get all Sean Jeffrey

509
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: and Nelson Agilar back, and it's against Miami, so there's

510
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: a lot of temptation to play those guys. What do

511
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: you think I'm I'm not playing. I don't trust the

512
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: hill catch all the balls again sent his way. Nelson

513
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: Aglar drops more balls in a Hernia specialist. And also

514
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: he hasn't topped forty two yards or scored with al

515
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: Shan on the field this year, So no thanks when

516
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: Alshon Jeffrey doesn't score. He's been pretty mediocre this year.

517
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: Um it's it would be real nice if he could

518
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: play a team allowing the most touchdowns to watch receivers

519
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: this year. That would be convenient, including five in just

520
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: the last two games in Miami. So I am giving

521
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: Jeffrey a B a B grade, as as Wentz, his

522
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: main guy, who I'm giving a soft Can I do that?

523
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: Given A just keep trying. I'm giving an A grade.

524
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: Amongst starting quarterbacks, only Sam Donald in his first game

525
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: back from mono and Brian Hoyer failed to toss multiple

526
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: touchdown passes against the Dolphins. So I think it's in

527
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: the cards for Wentz. Who's now got Jeffrey and Aglar back,

528
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: and it's it's looked bad for Wentz for a few weeks,

529
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: but he's been playing without offensive lineman, without wide receivers,

530
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: and here comes to Dolphins. Man. I really hope he

531
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: bounces back now. And when he had Jeffrey and al

532
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: early in the season, me at fourth straight multiple touchdown games.

533
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: So Earth's gets an A grade and got it gets

534
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: a C grade because that offense really does funnel through

535
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: the tight end. I think there's enough work for everyone

536
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, though, Uh Miami's okay against the tight ends.

537
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: They're they're pretty decent against tight ends, but since week ends,

538
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 1: since Week one, no tight end his top sixty yards

539
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: against them. But it's zach Ertz and Dallas Goddard who

540
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: are getting like twenty targets a game right now. Um uh,

541
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: Earth's is the main target. He's top ninety yards in

542
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: three straight so that's why he gets the air. Doesn't

543
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: go Dallas Goddard, Oh yeah, absolutely absolutely, or it has

544
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: been limited, but I think he does go on On

545
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: the other side, the only one I can start is

546
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: is Davante Parker, and he's been solid, very solid for

547
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: quite quite a while. A lot of people aren't realizing

548
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: he's top fifty yards in all but two games this year.

549
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. He has at least five grabs in

550
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: five of the last six, has ten or more targets

551
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: in three straight. Uh. He's scored in half of his

552
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: last eight games, four of his last eight games. DeVante Parker.

553
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: If we said here's the receiver's DeVante Parker has been

554
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: better than for the last like six weeks or eight

555
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: two months, it would be like Julio Jones and Odell Beckham,

556
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: and yeah, it'd be crazy. I'm going to bet he's

557
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: scored more Fantasy points and say Karon Barkley in the

558
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: last month. Yeah, I bet that's true. Dawnt, Yeah, do that.

559
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: But that's it okay for them. In that event, Let's

560
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: start thinking about next segment already, when we're gonna talk

561
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: about Tampa Bay taking on Jacksonville and whether or not

562
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: this is the big Ronald Jones breakout game. Did you

563
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: know fanball has daily fantasy auctions. It is true. We

564
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: love auctioning in the preseason. You will love auctioning in

565
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: real time against live opponents on fanball. Give that a try.

566
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: Famball dot Com clip click on the auctions tab. Coming

567
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: up next, Fantasy Football Weekly. As I mentioned Tampa Bay Jacksonville.

568
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: We'll tell you about Ronald Jones and whether or not

569
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: this is shaping it's more of a Godwin blow up

570
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: game or the Evans blow up game. They never happened

571
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: in the same game. It's one or the other. We'll

572
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: try to decipher that when we come back to Fantasy

573
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:31,239
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. You are listening to Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm

574
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: Paul Charchi and my co host are Scott Fish and

575
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson from fanball dot Com. You can hear us

576
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: over the year and many stations around the country. In fact,

577
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: that might be you right now. And this show is

578
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: also a podcast available every Friday at all major podcasting platforms,

579
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: including the number one destination for podcasts, the I Heart

580
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: Radio app. I'm very happy to say Tampa Bay takes

581
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: on Jacksonville's I alluded two moments ago Brian Jacksonville's run

582
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: defense is hot, garbage edge and Ronald Jones is getting

583
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: all the work. Is this the breakout game for Ronald Jones?

584
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: I think, so I gotta be on him. Uh and

585
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: I do. I'll get give Peyton Barber received because you

586
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: said that run defense for Jacksonville has gone entirely south.

587
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: But I do like Jones a whole lot more. Over

588
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: the last four games, he has forty five carries to

589
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: Barbers twenty six. Jones has seventeen targets to Barber's for

590
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: he's taken the lead role in that backfield. But again,

591
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: this is a great matchup for both. Over the Jaguars

592
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: last three games, opponing opposing running backs have totaled five

593
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty four rushing yards in three five rushing

594
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns and three games. That has produced six individual running

595
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: backs who are top twenty four worth almost any fantasy

596
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: format in three games. So they're both very startable, but

597
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: you gotta like Jones a lot more in this one.

598
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: Peyton barr has been dropped in many leagues, and understandably

599
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: given the season he's had and especially lately, He's a

600
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: guy you could pick up and start in a pinch

601
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: this way in deeper leagues for sure, definitely. And you

602
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: alluded to the Mike Evans Chris Godwin like Who's who

603
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: um based very alternate, just randomly, like who has the

604
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: big game? And this time it's Mike Evanstern based Mike

605
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: Evanstern based on that, but science also says this is

606
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: a game for Evans because elite boundary receivers have done

607
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: just fine against A. J. Booyer, the loan standing cornerback

608
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: after the Jalen Ramsey trade. Um Courtland Sutton six catches,

609
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: sixty two yards, two touchdowns, d J. Moore had six

610
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: nine one, Michael Thomas eight for eighty nine, DeAndre Hopkins

611
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: eight forty eight one. Even A. J. Brown popped off

612
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville last week for four five and a touchdown.

613
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: So in a for Mike Evans, just a B for

614
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin, though he'll avoid Booyer in the slot, but

615
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: that means he draws the better corner at least for

616
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: this season, in d J. Hayden, who hasn't allowed a

617
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: touchdown in coverage all season long, and he held the

618
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: very comparable Tyler Boyd to five catches for fifty five

619
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: yards on fourteen targets. Just a B for Chris Godwin.

620
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: No Tampa Bay it and is worth mentioning finally, we're

621
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: not even gonna go there, by the way, and I

622
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: was guilty of it. I bought into the O j

623
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: Howard is dead to us, Let's go to Cameron bread narrative.

624
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: Oh god, zero zero catches last week. Sorry, yeah, it's

625
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: he's too much a roller roller coaster, boom bust options.

626
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: So Jameis Winston though not so much, not in a

627
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: level grade just to be just because that run defense

628
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,479
Speaker 1: we mentioned is so bad for Jacksonville. They might funnel

629
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: all of their offense through the run, but in the

630
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: true talent of the team is at the wide receiver position.

631
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: Though for Tampa Bay and the Jaguars have allowed multiple

632
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: passing scores in three of their last four games, but

633
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: the ceiling just isn't as high for Winston in this one.

634
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: It feels so just to be over to the Jaguar side.

635
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: Just a B for Leonard four Nette. He's been playing

636
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: great as of late, but the Bucks have basically been

637
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: the worst opponent for running backs when it comes to

638
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: fantasy football. Only five running backs have registered double digit

639
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: PPR performances all year against Tampa Bay, but three of

640
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: those backs had big games, and they were Christian McCaffrey,

641
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, and Todd Gurley. Leonard for Nett is certainly

642
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: in that mix of B for him still based on volume,

643
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: but in a for DJ chark Um, even though he's

644
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: a bit of a roller coaster ride as well. Over

645
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: the past five weeks, opposing wide receivers are averaging more

646
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: than sixteen catches, two hundred yards and two whole touchdowns

647
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: per game against Tampa Bay. And needless to say, number

648
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: one receivers have gone berserk, but there's been plenty of

649
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: meat on the bone for the number two. And that's

650
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: why Deeed Westbrook was going to take a chance on

651
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: me wide receiver chart and Nick Foles was might take

652
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: a chance on me quarterback. What about Chris Conley, I said,

653
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: Chris con Oh, Chris Conley, Conley, Chris the Chris Conley,

654
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,959
Speaker 1: Chris Connolly desk over here, And I'm telling you once

655
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: again and I and I he didn't have a blow

656
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: up game last week, but at like sixty yards I

657
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: should have mentioned in him. I think he should get

658
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: a C grade in this matchup. Chris Connley, consider it done.

659
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: Chris Conley, appreciate that. Let's go to Washington taking on Carolina.

660
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 1: Not a lot to talk about on the Washington side,

661
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: although Gary Darius Guys was might take a chance, I

662
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: mean running back, and I love him in this game.

663
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: If Adrian Peterson is active for the game, and I

664
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: think he will be. Um, he's got the knee and

665
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: the ankle injuries and the toe injuries. Um. But the

666
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: Panthers run defenses so bad, as I articulated earlier and

667
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: talking about Darius Guys, that you can start Adrian Peterson

668
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,959
Speaker 1: here too in a pinch. The only other starting grade

669
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: I've got is Terry McLaurin with a see no touchdowns

670
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: or one hundred yard games since Dwayne Haskins took over.

671
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: By the way, let's talk Dwayne Haskins. The Redskins are

672
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: gonna be burning another first round draft pick on the

673
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: quarterback position in five months, right, I mean it's you know,

674
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins is not the answer here. He looks to

675
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: me like a backup caliber quarterback to my eyes to

676
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: this point, unless something changes anyway. It could. He's still young,

677
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: but I don't I don't see a lot here. He's

678
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: asket case. That's not bad. I might remember that um

679
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: McLaren got twelve targets last week, which was a season high,

680
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 1: and that part is promising. It's even more promising considering

681
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: that the Panthers have a lot of the second most

682
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: yards and receptions per game to opposing receivers over the

683
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: last five weeks. But he'll see a lot of cornerback

684
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: James Bradbury, who usually travels with the opponent's best wide receiver.

685
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: He's good, but he has also struggled lately, giving up

686
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: his first score of the year last week. And so

687
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: I don't think it's an automatic shoutout for Terry McLaurin here.

688
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,479
Speaker 1: He's got a chance and he gets a C grade.

689
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to Carolina. You notice start Christian McCaffrey. We

690
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: want to even expand on that. Let's talk about the

691
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 1: passing game though. Kyle Allen, their quarterback, gets a C grade.

692
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 1: Now last week, after every two weeks ago, well, I've

693
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: been back up three weeks ago. Kyle Allen played a

694
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: great game. We were talking about how Kyle Allen looked

695
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: like he was sort of fitting into the mold of

696
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 1: an NFL starting quarterback. Then two weeks ago, he looked

697
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: terrible and everybody dropped him and he was the worst

698
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: thing that ever happened. Then last week, when nobody in

699
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: the right mind would have started him, he looks great again.

700
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: And gets a very good Saints defense. Now I understand

701
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: he's playing the Redskins by reputation the two when Redskin

702
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: sounds like an easy opportunity for Kyle Allen and this

703
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: passing it, but in reality they've mostly handled their quarterbacks.

704
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: Over Washington's last six games, only one quarterback has generated

705
00:36:56,160 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: a viable fantasy start. The other five average ridged two

706
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: d four passing yards and zero point six passing touchdowns.

707
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: That's it. So Kyle Allen has just got a C

708
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 1: grade here and d J. Moore just has a B grade.

709
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: He's topped eleven yards per reception and four straight he

710
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: continues to be a down field factor. His matchup those

711
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: is tricky this week. Washington has quietly been a top

712
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: ten defense against opposing receivers in terms of yards and

713
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: receptions and touchdowns allowed over the last five weeks and

714
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 1: more months. Runs most of his routes on the side

715
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: of the field that Quinton Dunbar is on, and he's

716
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: one of the better young cornerbacks in the league. So

717
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: just to be grade on d J. Moore, Curtis Samuel

718
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: gets a C grade because he's on the other side

719
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: of the field where he gets well, it was Josh Norman.

720
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,439
Speaker 1: Now it's rookie Jimmy Moreland. Now Moreland had his first

721
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: ever start last week. He allowed four of five passes

722
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: in his coverage to be completed, and that's why Curtis

723
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: Samuel is startable here. And lastly, Greg Olsen, averaging more

724
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: than five catches per game over the last four weeks

725
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: in Washington, has given up three tight end touchdowns over

726
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: their last two games, so he gets a C grade

727
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: as well. We all need tight ends. We've talked about

728
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy viable tight ends that are on

729
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: the waiver wire so far already this week there's only

730
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 1: like five truly viable Titans with holding onto all eGain,

731
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: that's probably true. Let's go to our last match of

732
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 1: this particular segment, which is the New York Jets taking

733
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: on the Cincinnati Bengals. Those people who drafted Levy on

734
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: Bell have been waiting a long long time for a

735
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: big payoff. Scott Fish, I think it's finally coming. Levy

736
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: on Bell a big game here. Yeah, I have him

737
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: with an A grade here. Ten running backs have hit

738
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: the fifteen touch mark against the Bengals, and that's a

739
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 1: really low bar. For fifteen touches. Those ten backs averaged

740
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 1: a hundred thirteen yards and scored seven touchdowns. The trend

741
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: is in the right direction as well, as they just

742
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: allowed Josh Jacobs and Benny Snell over a hundred yards

743
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: in back to at games. And Bell also gets you

744
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: that receiving work. He's averaging over twenty touches a game.

745
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,959
Speaker 1: Uh in the passing game. I I already gave Sam

746
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: Donald a with my take on and I'm giving Robbie

747
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 1: Anderson and a grade here as well. I'm a little

748
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,959
Speaker 1: worried about the Anderson Crowder thing as I dug deeper.

749
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm still giving Crowder a C. But when those two,

750
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: when one of those two hit thirty five yards receiving,

751
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: the other one doesn't, it's always either or. In fact,

752
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: only once this season have both of them had more

753
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: than eight Fantasy PPR points in the same game. Only once,

754
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: So you're only getting one or the other basically every game.

755
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: So I'm going with Anderson. I'm going with a deep target.

756
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: Three deep target wide receivers against the Bengals in recent

757
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: weeks have topped eighty yards, and two of the three

758
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: scored and Anderson scored in back to back, so I'm

759
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: giving it to him. Crowder generally gets a bunch of

760
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: gets more targets and more receptions, so I'm still giving

761
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: the C grade. Maybe you can hope for an okay day.

762
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Griffin, I'm giving a B. He scored six touchdowns

763
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: in his last seven games, and he plays of the snaps.

764
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: The Bengals have given up three touchdowns to tight ends

765
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 1: in the last three weeks, and three tight ends that

766
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: went over fifty yards. Uh, and that's not counting the

767
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: no show from basically from Vance McDonald um. On the

768
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: other side, Andy Dalton was your take on you like

769
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: him this week? I like I like Tyler Boyd because

770
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: Dalton's back. Boyd averaged over six catches per game, in

771
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: over ten targets per game, and nearly seventy yards per game.

772
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 1: With Dalton in at quarterback, he only scored once once,

773
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: but he now matches up against a team allowing the

774
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: third most touchdowns to watch receivers in the NFL. Like

775
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: him here, I'm benching effort. I'm sorry, he's top thirty

776
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: yards just once this season. Now, it doesn't even he

777
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 1: doesn't not even be mentioning. Yeah, let's let's walk past

778
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: that to Jill Mixon, who I think has a bad

779
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: matchup here. I'm giving him a C grade because he's

780
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: probably going to get the volume. But over the last

781
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: five weeks, the Jets having a out a single rushing

782
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: touchdown and only Leo for net was was able to

783
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: top thirty five yards rushing. Jets run defense is elite

784
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: two point six yards per carry over the last five weeks.

785
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: His volume, his fifteen plus touch volume, is what might

786
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: get him that C grade. Otherwise it's it's rough. No,

787
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: I have no problem just having a bench grade. And

788
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: I thought about it. Bell cor running backs are just

789
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: guys that get that many touches. I don't know he needs.

790
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: Like he had a thirty touch game a few weeks

791
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: ago and he did well there. If you told me

792
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon's get thirty touches, then I'm in. That's probably

793
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: what I would take Meason one in the passing game.

794
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: How can the Bengals not see how good he Isn't

795
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: that well? I answered my question that it's just the

796
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: same team that bench to the league leader in completions

797
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: to go to their untested rookie. David Montgomery scored on

798
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Chicago is the easiest running back schedule for the

799
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Brian, give me your thoughts on

800
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: David Montgomery going forward and whether whether or not you

801
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: think he's going to be fantasy viable the rest of

802
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: the way, given the easy schedule, given the fact that

803
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: we've got a touched on out of him, there's no

804
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,399
Speaker 1: basically you know, no other running back other than Tree

805
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 1: Colon who gets a couple of a couple of carries

806
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: every now and again. What are your thoughts on David

807
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: Montgomery going forward? Well, off the top of my head,

808
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: I don't have the schedule in front of me, but

809
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: you said it's favorable, banging on the that that they

810
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: cut Mike Davis a long time ago, and not that

811
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 1: he was ever a factor even though he technically started

812
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: the season for the Bears, took the first snap and

813
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: everyone was panicking the up ticket production. It took a

814
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: dip for Montgomery uh previous weeks, but last week it

815
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 1: was way up, and based on the favorable schedule, he's

816
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: cannot drop below a flex worthy player, especially when you

817
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: think about teams like the Bengals and who else is

818
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: dead in the water. They're gonna stop trotting out their

819
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,760
Speaker 1: bell cows. I believe, you know, just give some scrubs

820
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: some run. The Bears are still clinging to some playoff life,

821
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: so they'll ride Montgomery. And you know there's a lot

822
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: of tread in those tie because they weren't he was

823
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: getting misused for the most part early on in the year,

824
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: which was basically not getting used whatsoever. So yeah, I'd

825
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: write uh Montgomery to the playoffs with some confidence. I've

826
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: got a troubling statin David Montgomery. Here. Your bottom three

827
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: running backs and yards after contact, yards after contact tells

828
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: me a lot about a running back. Bottom Klein Balage

829
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: goes without saying. Second from the bottom, David Johnson, third

830
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: from the bottom, David Montgomery, and it it has. I mean,

831
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: if you if you think about David Montgomery broken tackles, Uh,

832
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: he remember the preseason? What's insane is that was four college?

833
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: I know he was super, he was profoball focused, his

834
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 1: most elusive running back. Last year they hit a little

835
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: harder than the NFL. They just a little little faster,

836
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: a little faster, a little harder. It's just it's not

837
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: the same. It isn't the same. Um, when do we

838
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: come back. Let's answer three tough questions together. Why don't

839
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: we me you the panel of experts. Let's well, I

840
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: will dole out three mind bending questions. You try to

841
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: go three and oh on Fantasy Football Weekly. Don't you

842
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: don't know? It's Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm all charge in

843
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 1: for fambile dot com. My co hosts are Scott Fish

844
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: and Brian Johnson. Now, let's roll up our sleeves with

845
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: three tough questions. Guys, listeners who encourage you to play along,

846
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: try to go to me a question number one? I

847
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 1: got the wrong cheat and paper. Here we go. Let's

848
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: question number one. Is Rashad Penny going to be this

849
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: year's Ron Dane? A player who out of nowhere posts

850
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: a monster playoff run, guiding his owners to a championship?

851
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,720
Speaker 1: Brian Well, most playoffs start Week fourteen, so I'll exclude

852
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: the week this week's match up with Minnesota, which is

853
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 1: very tough for Seattle running backs, and looking forward from

854
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: week fourteen. Weeks fourteen through sixteen, it's at the Rams

855
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: at Panthers and then the Cardinals at home. I talked

856
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: about the Rams in the first segment. Only three running

857
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: backs have topped one hundred rushing yards against them all season,

858
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: but one of them was Chris Carson, and by the way,

859
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: has been fumbling a lot. And that's the reason we're

860
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: talking about Rashad Penny right now, Um. And then at

861
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: Carolina week fifteen primo matchup there and Arizona also very

862
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: soft against the run, unlike years past. Now, Rashad Penny

863
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: is not proven to not piece beast off because fourteen

864
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 1: carries last week was his career high. He had double

865
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 1: digit carries just three other times in his entire short

866
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 1: two year career. I'm not convinced he is of bell

867
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: cow bell cow caliber, bell cow cow, ian bell and

868
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: cow caliber. Okay, now, brown cow bell cow Um. Chris

869
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: Carson is outside of the phone balls, and he's still

870
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: a better running back. So I just don't see the

871
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: Seahawks riding Penny like a bell cow, even in this

872
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: favorable schedule. So I'm gonna say, no, he's not this

873
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: year's roun Dame, all right, Scott, I think it's possible.

874
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: It happens every year. We've mentioned this on shows before.

875
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 1: It happened with Tim high Tower, it happened with as

876
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: you mentioned, Ron Dane and c J. Anderson last year.

877
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: If Carson's fumbles continues, maybe the Rams in Week fourteen.

878
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: They have allowed a hun six toll yards per game

879
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: five touchdowns to run backs for the last three weeks.

880
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: Panthers you you mentioned earlier, and they're terrible against Cardinals

881
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: Week sixteen. They're allowing a ton of receiving gamework to

882
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: running backs and Penny's good in that area as possible. Weirdly,

883
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: early in the season, before the season, I thought it

884
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: was Jordan Wilkins. I thought Jordan Wilkins was going to

885
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 1: be the guy to take over from mc layton the season, jury, injury, whatever.

886
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: Now it's looking maybe it's Jonathan Williams. So I think

887
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: Penny's a viable candid. I think Jonathan I'm gonna go with, yes,

888
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: Penny can be that guy. The year was two thousand six.

889
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: Ron Dane, a stone cold bust with the Giants and

890
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,919
Speaker 1: the Broncos, finds himself on the Texans. The Texans need

891
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: him early in the season, and he starts three games

892
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: for the Texans and he's awful, and he gets benched

893
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: for guys like Wally Lundie and Jamille Cook. Then in

894
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: Week twelve, Ron Dane gets another chance. He pounds the

895
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: Raiders fore yards, almost all of it in the second half.

896
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: Some Wise, fantasy owners pick him up Week thirteen. Why

897
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: that's this very week of two thousand six yards of pounding.

898
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: That seems a little excessive that in week thirteen as

899
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: the starter, he wasn't even the starter that game. Uh.

900
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,479
Speaker 1: Week thirteen, he's the starter nine nine yards and two

901
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: scores for Ron Dane, powering his owners into the playoffs.

902
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: Then Week fourteen, one hundred one yards and a touchdown

903
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: for Ron Dane. That Week fifteen, the playoff bomb drops

904
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:30,919
Speaker 1: one hundred fifty eight yards and two scores from Ron

905
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: Dane in the playoffs of two thousand six now week sixteen.

906
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: As it turns out, as a little reminder here, um,

907
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: he actually injured his ankle in pregame warmups and that

908
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: didn't end up playing in that game. Yeah, which you

909
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: don't hear. That happened very often. And that was basically

910
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: the end of it for Ron Dane for career. He

911
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: only played parts of one more season and then that

912
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: was it. But that was the run for Ron Daane.

913
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: The Seahawks usually used one workhorse and and you know,

914
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,280
Speaker 1: but not a ways last season we saw Mike Davis

915
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: get a hundred twelve carries, Rashad Penny got eighty five.

916
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 1: Together they got what Carson had a very close to

917
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: what Carson had. They can use, they can use multiple backs,

918
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: and together with the fact that Carson has been a

919
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: successful workhorse there, I think he's too good to be

920
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: kicked to the curb completely, which is what would have

921
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: to happen for Rashad Penny to go Ron Dane. The

922
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 1: correct answer is no. Tough question number two, Should Matt

923
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: Ryan's owners just drop him out? Right? Scott, No, No,

924
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think so. I mean early in

925
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: the season. He started the year with sixth straight three

926
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: yard games. Um might have been seven straight sixth straight

927
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: and uh in five of those he had multiple touchdowns

928
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: at the time he got injured. Much like you mentioned

929
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: with Dalton earlier, he was leading the NFL and completions

930
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: and attempts when he got injured. Um, he had a

931
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 1: little trouble there. When he got back in Atlanta's defense

932
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: like started to step up, but Atlanta's de defenses back

933
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 1: to being Atlanta's defense over last week or still and uh,

934
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,720
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan over the last couple of weeks. Those attempts

935
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: are back up forty six two weeks ago, fifty this last, this,

936
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: just yesterday. I think he's gonna get that. He was

937
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: averaging forty three attempts per game when he was leaving

938
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: the NFL. I think those attempts are gonna stay in

939
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: the fifty range. I think he's going to need to throw,

940
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 1: and I think he's got a lot of more multiple

941
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,439
Speaker 1: touchdown games coming coming up the stretch. Al Right, Brian,

942
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: should Matt Ryan be dropped? I'm gonna drop Matt Ryan

943
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: in one quarterback leagues, um, starting next week. He's got

944
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: Caroline at home, then at San Francisco, and then Jacksonville

945
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: at home. Starting with Carolina next week. Yeah, Carolina. That

946
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 1: run defense is brutal. We've talked about brutal in a

947
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: bad way. And Ryan had three eleven and one in

948
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: the first meeting between the Falcons and the Panthers. Respectable,

949
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: but he had Austin Hooper and a healthy Julio Jones.

950
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: Those two are not guaranteed to be healthy next week.

951
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: And then at San fran and week fifteen, that's so

952
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: an awful matchup. I'm like, we're not even getting to

953
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: weeks sixteen with Matt Ryany's re quarterback with those two

954
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,879
Speaker 1: upcoming opponents. So Fish made some great points, but I'm

955
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 1: still it's not an easy decision, But I am dropping

956
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: that Ryan. You know it's in sheer volume. That's all

957
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: Ryan really has going for miss volume. Now the running

958
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: game has been so bad they have no choice but

959
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: to pass. But to the points that we've made here,

960
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: two of the next three teams up for the Falcons

961
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: are horrible run defenses. And if if Ryan's not passing

962
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: forty eight times he threw fifty on Thanksgiving Night, then

963
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what I don't know what kind of

964
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: value that he brings. I think you can find other

965
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: quarterbacks with a better schedule, more reliable than Matt Ryan.

966
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 1: I think it's okay to drop him, like you can

967
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:41,720
Speaker 1: find other help. Tough question number three, Should Lamar Jackson

968
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 1: be the first player we could? We're codifying a conversation

969
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 1: from last week. By the way, we threw this out

970
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: casually last week, should Lamar Jackson? And then, by the

971
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: way went berserk after last week's show, should Lamar Jackson

972
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: be the first player taken in fantasy drafts next year?

973
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: I want to preface this real quick with a revenge

974
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:03,359
Speaker 1: angle with Jacks. We should never overlook the revenge duck

975
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 1: making his first appearance of the show. So those who

976
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: don't remember in the draft it was the um, it

977
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: will be in this word of the Browns, Bills, Uh No, Browns, Jets,

978
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 1: Bills and Dolphins who passed on Lamar Jackson in favor

979
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: of another quarterback, favor another carback. So L Jacks and

980
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: we will back to that. So he's played the Browns

981
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 1: twice and the Dolphins since then. In those three games,

982
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: he has eight passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns. And

983
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: he plays the Browns twice every year. This wait untill

984
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 1: he plays the Bills and the Jets too. But anyway,

985
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: L Jacks is breaking fantasy football right now. He is

986
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: tied for the league lead in passing touchdowns with twenty four.

987
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 1: The passing yardage is not there, but he is easily

988
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: inside the top ten quarterbacks right now. And when it

989
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 1: comes to running the ball at fifty plus yards and

990
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: six rushing touchdowns, he's easily a top ten running back.

991
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 1: I'm standalone running numbers. So last week I said no

992
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: way first overall, first round maybe, but there's so much uncertainty.

993
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: It's only Christian McCaffrey, right, that's the one guy you contemplate.

994
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: But he's a running back, and you know what, I'll

995
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: get those guys later in the draft. I'm not gonna

996
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: get Lamar Jackson later in the draft. It's not Kyler Murray,

997
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: it's not Josh Allen. I'm going one one L Jacks.

998
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna be alone him. This is

999
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 1: the this is the vic argument from like two thousand four,

1000
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 1: two five, only he's giving more rushing yards and he's

1001
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: probably gonna add with more touching rushing touch Johns and

1002
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: he's already got more passing yards. I think it's very viable.

1003
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: I I had some of the stuff Brian said. I

1004
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: was going to mention how this is a little bit

1005
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: of a down year for quarterback scoring and in comparison

1006
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 1: to historically. Yeah so so L Jackson is that far

1007
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: above everybody this year, So it makes it look even

1008
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: more absurd. But also my last little point is fantasy

1009
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: is supposed to be fun, and honestly, there's there's nothing

1010
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: more fun than having Lamar jack sin or as I

1011
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: think you should start being called insta Win. I believe

1012
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: it's called him that before UH start calling him that

1013
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 1: because it's just fun to have him on your team.

1014
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: So with everything Brian said and that, yes, why not,

1015
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm always nervous about taking running backs early anyway, you

1016
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: guys know what I feel about that. Remember, going into

1017
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: this last draft, there were four guys that were the

1018
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: lock four running backs. Three of the four have disappointed

1019
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: and pretty significantly this year. Only Christian McCaffrey has lived

1020
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: up to the billing. And mostly Christian McCaffrey was not

1021
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: being the first player taken. It was mostly Sae Kwon Barkley,

1022
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: Robin Kamara or Ezekiel Elliott. Um, you guys already hit

1023
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: on a lot of my talking points, but I want

1024
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 1: to mention one thing that's different compared to him and

1025
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: Mike Vick or Cam Newton or for old timers, Cordell Stewart.

1026
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Jackson gets designed runs. These other quarterbacks

1027
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:59,879
Speaker 1: were mostly scrambling, and they would scramble for a se

1028
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 1: in touchdown season or a six touchdown season or an

1029
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: eight touchdown rushing season right and then the next year,

1030
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: because these weren't designed runs, they would have two touchdowns

1031
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 1: on the ground or three touchdowns on the ground, and

1032
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: that destroy their fantasy value. That's not the case for

1033
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. It's the designed the fact that he's running

1034
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:25,240
Speaker 1: designed runs all the time that makes him impervious virtually

1035
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 1: to these bad games because of a flags don't do

1036
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: what the arm does, and he doesn't have to get

1037
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 1: it by happenstance, by you know, getting into trouble and

1038
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: then scrambling and then maybe or maybe not scoring touchdowns.

1039
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 1: And his past catchers aren't adapting because they're all coming

1040
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 1: up together, like his tight ends and wide receivers are

1041
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: all drafted within the last two to three years. It's

1042
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: like this whole thing is just yeah, it's it's it's

1043
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: scary to watch in a fun way. Oh, it's so

1044
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: much fun. Correct answer, Yes, I think. In fact, I

1045
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: think there's I think that's gonna be a universal consensus

1046
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: almost that Lamar Jackson by next do August will be

1047
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: pick one one. Hey, McCaffrey will be pick one too.

1048
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 1: So in an auction, you have to be the first

1049
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: one to just max bid to get Lamar Jackson. That's

1050
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: gonna never know. I don't know, but that's that's some

1051
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: of the stuff that will be fun to talk about

1052
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: on this show. Come next August, um let's work in

1053
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: one more matchup. Green Bay takes on the New York Giants. Brian,

1054
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers, in his three good games this year,

1055
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:31,760
Speaker 1: he has been quarterback one. In his eight other games,

1056
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: he's been quarterback thirty seven. There's only thirty two teams, Brian.

1057
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: Is this gonna be the great game for Aaron Rodgers

1058
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 1: or is this going to be the dismal game for

1059
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. It has to be a great game for

1060
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. I gotta give him an A. Considering the

1061
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 1: Giants have conceded seven straight top ten finishes to opposing quarterbacks.

1062
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: The only two quarterbacks who failed to total multiple touchdowns

1063
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: all season were rookies Dwayne Haskins and Kyler Murray, giving

1064
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 1: Rodgers an A. But the only other past catcher that

1065
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 1: gets an A from me is Dvante Adams. The Giants

1066
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: have allowed the third most touchdowns to wide receivers, and

1067
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: comparable receivers have blown up against the GM MANA Maarty

1068
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: Cooper one oh six and one and then had eighty

1069
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown in the second game. Mike Evans

1070
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: one ninety and three, Kenny Golladay one three and two,

1071
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: and Allen Robinson recently one thirty one and one. I'm

1072
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 1: giving Davante the a. He's my number one ranked wide receiver.

1073
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: This week will be his first touchdown of the year.

1074
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 1: He'll score on Sunday, I believe. Imagine having him, Mike

1075
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: Williams and Robert Woods as your starting three wider resiver

1076
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: zero touchdowns receiver. Robert Woods, Ok, you got me there, um,

1077
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 1: Alan Lazard, I was close to you using as my

1078
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: take on wide receiver. You can throw a dart with him.

1079
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: But I mentioned in the last seven games a Green

1080
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: Bay wide receiver has hit five catches once like four.

1081
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: It's it's off something like that. But I like the well,

1082
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: I like Jamal Williams more out of the running backs.

1083
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 1: Let me get to Aaron Jones. Gonna give him a

1084
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: c And by the way, Jimmy Graham dead didn't do

1085
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: anything on his birthday. Dead to me, Aaron Jones and

1086
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 1: it match up to Aaron Jones. Well, it wasn't that good,

1087
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: but it was his birthday. But Aaron Jones see just

1088
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: to see, I'll just say, see's charge, don't worry. Was

1089
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: outtouched eighteen to thirteen by Jamal Williams last week hasn't

1090
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: topped thirteen carries. He's the Dallas game and week five

1091
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: and making matters worse. Outside of the misusage, the Packers

1092
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: lost starting right tackle Brian Blaga to a sprain mcl

1093
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: and since the Giants acquired defensive tackle Leonard Williams, their

1094
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:28,919
Speaker 1: run defense has been based out. Over the last two games,

1095
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: they're barely allowing over two yards per carry. So just

1096
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 1: to see for Jones, but I like Jamal Williams in

1097
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: the past game here. I think he outside he could

1098
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: be the top receiver on the team this week outside

1099
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: of Davanta Adams. Even better than Adams. Now, Aaron Jones

1100
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 1: had that massive blow up receiving game like a month ago.

1101
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: It was Arizona. I'm trying, I don't remember who they

1102
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: were playing um and then since then they've they don't

1103
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: even thrown them anymore. Yea, even he looked like he

1104
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: was just he was the second coming of Marshall fall

1105
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: out of the backfield and now the package don't even

1106
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 1: throw him, didn't take it was eight targets for even

1107
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: though they were getting blown out last week, Green Bay

1108
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 1: in San Francia. Eight targets for Williams, one for Jones.

1109
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: It's just grost the floor is te extra better. He

1110
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: ended by guillotine league run. I got knocked out of

1111
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: my guillotine league last week, and no small part because

1112
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers or Aaron Jones doing nothing brutal. You

1113
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: know who has been knocked out of guillotine leagues plenty

1114
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: of times as anyone that's had sa Quon Barkley on

1115
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 1: the roster over the last six games, held under seventy

1116
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: five yards for six straight now rushing yards that is,

1117
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: one touchdown during that span. This has to be a

1118
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 1: get right game though, for Sae Kwon. According to Football Outsiders,

1119
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: Green Bay is ranked against the run and they have

1120
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,439
Speaker 1: yielded the third most red zone touches to running backs

1121
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: and gold to go scenarios. So I'm gonna get Barkley

1122
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: and a man you can almost sabotage. Troup doesn't come

1123
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: through this game. Maybe we'll talk about that next week.

1124
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: Hopefully not. We won't talk about Golden tat a whole lot.

1125
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: He's been ruled out with the concussion. Sterling Shepard in

1126
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: gonna give him the b should run the slot he

1127
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: will now because Ted has been ruled out and he

1128
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: had success in the in Daniel jones first two starts

1129
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 1: when Tate was still on suspension, Shepard had seven for

1130
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 1: a hundred and one and then seven for seventy six

1131
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: and his two games manning the slot alone, but not

1132
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: an ideal matchup for slot receivers. Traumont Williams is legit

1133
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: and held Keenan Allen to just three catches for forty

1134
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: yards a few weeks ago, so just to see for Shephard,

1135
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm torn on Darius Slayton, but I'm going to put

1136
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 1: him on the bench. Green Bay yielding the second fewest

1137
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 1: targets to wide receivers, so not enough volume there for

1138
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 1: me with him, I mentioned, and take on Evan Ingram's

1139
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: ruled out. Rhett Ellis in the backup ruled out that

1140
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: made Caden Smith. Might take a chance of the receiver

1141
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: tight end eligible if you're desperate out there. But in uh, lastly,

1142
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones on the bench for me and this one.

1143
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: The Packers are yielding under thirty one pass attempts per game.

1144
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: That is not a lot at all, and even though

1145
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay has allowed multiple passing scores and three of

1146
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 1: their last five. I cannot trust Daniel Jones, especially without

1147
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: Golden Date and Evian Ingram. Did you know every week

1157
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: An absolute dud for Derek Carr in an easy matchup

1158
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,919
Speaker 1: last week. Do we like him any better this week

1159

1165
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 1: play our salary cap, DFS super flex sary cap. Most importantly,

1166
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: there's no defense. Always toiling over what defense to start

1167
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: in daily fantasy is the worst. It's kind of true.

1168
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 1: Oakland takes on Kansas City guys easy a for Josh Jacobs.

1169
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 1: The Chiefs at the second most rushing yards to opposing

1170
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 1: running backs on a league worst five yards per carry.

1171
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs potentially sitting on a gigantic game here, um,

1172
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 1: and really they're even worse than that. Over the last

1173
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 1: four games, running backs are averaging thirty touches for two

1174
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 1: hundred thirteen yards and one point a touchdowns per game

1175
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. So Jacobs had a brutal matchup last week,

1176
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: bounces back here with a very nice game. I believe.

1177
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: Let's go to the passing game. Derek Carr in explicably

1178
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 1: blank last week, has been a other than that has

1179
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 1: mostly been a very safe starter this year in Kansas

1180
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: City sees an average of thirty six passes per game.

1181
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 1: So maybe if all malone will get Derek Carter some

1182
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 1: fantasy viability here. The chief secondary has improved, but over

1183
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: the last month, every opposing quarterback has scored and they've

1184
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 1: all topped three hundred yards and or thrown multiple touchdowns,

1185
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 1: So I think car gets this gets close to three

1186
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: hundred here. I want to believe so anyway, Tyrone Williams

1187
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 1: super disappointing, had those five straight touchdown games to start

1188
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 1: the season, hasn't and is now not scored for a month.

1189
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: He's averaging just forty three yards on three catches over

1190
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 1: the last month. He'll be tested against cornerback chart Various Ward,

1191
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 1: who has improved dramatically and is yielding just seventy pass

1192
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 1: rating of just seventy two in his coverage and has

1193
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: not allowed to score since week number four. So he's

1194
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 1: just got a C grade. Darren Waller only has a

1195
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: C grade as well. The Chiefs have allowed seven receptions

1196
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: to opposing tight ends each to the last three weeks

1197
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: to go along with a pair of scores, and Waller

1198
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 1: had six catches in the first meeting, so I like

1199
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: him here. The problem, of course, as everybody knows, and

1200
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: I think in particular Brian Johnson has been chagrined by

1201
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: the lack of touchdowns for Darren wall Fabian Moreau has

1202
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 1: got more touchdowns than he does on the season. I believe, Yeah,

1203
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: that's super disappointing. Just he's found the end zone in

1204
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 1: only two games all year. You're right, Fabian row is

1205
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback for the Reds against Foster. More serious questions,

1206
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: those guys related. I mean, normally a tight end and

1207
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: a cornerback do not have the same d N A

1208
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 1: right to be built. You know, for those positions, what

1209
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: you usually get as a Travis Kelsey and a was

1210
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: a Jason right, both big bodied guy. Jason Kelsey, the

1211
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,439
Speaker 1: tight end brother would be the bully. And that brother,

1212
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 1: oh god, he was the guy pinning down the wait

1213
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 1: Foster was pinning down Fabian Moreau and farting in his

1214
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: face because that's what older brothers due to younger brothers. Right, yeah,

1215
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 1: you would know. Let's go to the Kansas City side

1216
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 1: of this. For Patrick Mahomes and Tyree Hill and Travis Kelsey,

1217
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 1: they are all obvious A grades, So we're not gonna

1218
01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: spend much time in any of those three. Since we

1219
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 1: three non Finley quarterbacks have averaged three two passing yards

1220
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns against Oakland, Travis Kelsey has a great

1221
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 1: opportunity against the Raiders defense that's allowed the second most

1222
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: tight end scores eight of them who else do we

1223
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:20,280
Speaker 1: like besides Mahomes, Hill and Kelsey. Sammy Watkins logs in

1224
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: with a C grade and kind of a if not

1225
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 1: now when kind of game for Sammy Watkins. He averages

1226
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: s eight targets over the last month. He's turned eight

1227
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 1: targets into forty three yards per game. That's it and

1228
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 1: by the way, scoreless yards per game. UM listener to

1229
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: the show Tom Roller told me today, Sammy Watkins in

1230
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 1: his scoring system, has as many points in Week one

1231
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 1: as he's got the entire rest of the year. I

1232
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 1: was just going to make that assumption that he probably

1233
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 1: has outscored the non week one games in Week one, Yes, unreal.

1234
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 1: The ultimate high cell moment that no one took advantage

1235
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 1: of it was right then, because who nobody wanted to

1236
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: give up on Sammy Watkins after that with Hill getting hurt,

1237
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Hills out right, so nobody wanted to give

1238
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: him up right then? Um. Watkins is a nice match

1239
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 1: up against cornerback Nevin Lawson. In five games, Lawson has

1240
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: surrendered a massive hundred thirty passer rating in his coverage

1241
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 1: and he also allowed touchdown last week. So Sammy Watkins

1242
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: gets a sea here. Let's go to the running backs

1243
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. Damian Williams has been ruled out, and

1244
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 1: that brings both Lashawn McCoy and Darryl Williams up to

1245
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: see grades here. I think McCoy is gonna get the

1246
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: majority of work, but we will see Darryl Williams as

1247
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: well McCoy. Over the last three games Oakland, Oakland's opposing

1248
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,919
Speaker 1: running backs have have averaged a hundred sixty three total

1249
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown per game. If we're gonna split

1250
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty three total yards and a touchdown

1251
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: per game between McCoy and Williams, there and they're both

1252
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 1: see grade, so eight yards and half a touchdown out

1253
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 1: of each. A coin flips chance that a touchdown on each.

1254
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: That sounds like a C grade for Williams and McCoy.

1255
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 1: And then there are three games without Damian Williams. They're

1256
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 1: split is almost exact. Yeah, touch wise, touch wise, that

1257
01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 1: sounds right. Um, we don't have any hands. I saw

1258
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 1: you typing furiously to get to the bottom of our

1259
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 1: mereau broke. We don't know, We cannot identify. I don't

1260
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 1: think they're just because I can't find anything. That's probably

1261
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: true that if they were, they you would probably know.

1262
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: Although maybe same mother, different father. Can't that you can't

1263
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 1: rule that out. We don't know, and maybe they're not

1264
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 1: talking about that. Tennessee the same say, maybe I'm gonna

1265
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: dive deeper. Well, fish does this matchup? If you can

1266
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 1: get me on the past, that would be fantastic. Yeah, quickly,

1267
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee takes on Indianapolis Scott. Derrick Henry has been amazing

1268
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 1: and it's starting to feel a lot like last year

1269
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 1: where Derrick Henry pounded the opponent December opponents into submission.

1270
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 1: I think we may see some more of that here.

1271
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: What do you think about Derrick Henry? You see travels? Yeah,

1272
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 1: you can't. He's I don't even know that he's worth

1273
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 1: talking about anymore. He's just you can't grade. He's twenty

1274
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 1: plus touches, he's you know, a hundred and fifty plus

1275
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:58,439
Speaker 1: yards in two straight averaging like eight yards of carry,

1276
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 1: two touchdowns eached the last two. No, it doesn't matter

1277
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 1: who he plays. You can't bench him at this point anyway.

1278
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 1: Onto Tannehill in the passing game. Tannehill has been really

1279
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: good too. Hack of a trade there for the for

1280
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 1: the for the Titans with Miami there, Tannehill has thirteen

1281
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: touches in his five starts and sticking over and he's

1282
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 1: Q three in that stretch over the last five weeks,

1283
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 1: which is which is crazy. Uh. He gets a Colts

1284
01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:26,799
Speaker 1: defense who has allowed nearly three yards and two scores

1285
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 1: to Nick Foles and Deshaun Watson in each of the

1286
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Uh. Only Joe Flacco failed to score

1287
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown on the Colts and was benched the following year.

1288
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 1: You're so bad you can't throw a touch up past

1289
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: the bench and people forget Tannehill as a converted wide

1290
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:44,640
Speaker 1: receiver from college. Yeah, just be hitting a stride. You

1291
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 1: know it took five years, six years. No, Uh, Brown

1292
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 1: is the guy, like more than Davis. Corey Davis his

1293
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,160
Speaker 1: top fifty yards just once and scored just once with

1294
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: Tannehill under center. As good as Tannehill has been in

1295
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 1: as many Fantasy point is, he's generating none of it

1296
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 1: going to Corey David. No. No, A. J Brown's getting

1297
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 1: it though, because he's had sixty yards and our scored

1298
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 1: in four of the five with Tannehill top fifty yards

1299
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 1: three three times, scored twice. I give him. I'm giving

1300
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: him a B grade. I do have Humphries on the

1301
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 1: bench though. Keenan Allen was the only slot guy to

1302
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: top fifty yards against the Colts in eleven games. That's

1303
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 1: that's crazy. And Humphreys is only top that twice in

1304
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 1: his eleven games. So he's on the bench. I have

1305
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 1: John on the bench. Walker being on I R made

1306
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,760
Speaker 1: me think about it for just a second. But they're

1307
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:39,440
Speaker 1: just not passing the tight ends. Uh, they're not completing

1308
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: enough passes to the tight ends. He's targeting him six

1309
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: to seven times, but um, it's just not there. On

1310
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 1: the other side. Uh, you know, t Y Hilton Note

1311
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:51,680
Speaker 1: is making me bench basically the whole passing game. You know.

1312
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 1: I think Zach Pascal had one good game with Hilton Note,

1313
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 1: but that that puts the bench Doyle, well, yeah, I

1314
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:01,080
Speaker 1: was gonna get to it. If I'm starting anyone, it's

1315
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:04,560
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle. Uh he I'm probably downgrading him from a

1316
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 1: B to a CEE. I had him as a B

1317
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:07,600
Speaker 1: with Hilton and now I think it's more of a C.

1318
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 1: I think that offense is gonna be tough to run,

1319
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: but I think they're going to run it through Williams.

1320
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: He'll have a little tougher time, but the Titans have

1321
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: allowed three straight lead backs over a hundred yards. Williams

1322
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 1: has two straight over a hundred yards, and they really

1323
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 1: like him. They're getting give him him twenty touches. Yeah,

1324
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a B grade. All right, that was

1325
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,280
Speaker 1: an easy one. I think it's still the case that

1326
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: the Colts have not won a game since drafting t

1327
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 1: Y Hilton. When t Y Hilton did not play every while,

1328
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:37,400
Speaker 1: that was because they've lost last week. I read that

1329
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 1: very so I think that that still holds true. Charges

1330
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,799
Speaker 1: take on the Denver Broncos final matchup of this segment.

1331
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:47,560
Speaker 1: For the Chargers, this has been a passing game that

1332
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 1: has been largely very bad and very inconsistent, and now

1333
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 1: they get a good Denver secondary. Do you dare start

1334
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and members of this passing offense, Brian, I'll

1335
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 1: dive into his receivers and we'll get two Rivers and

1336
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:02,720
Speaker 1: what I had Start him or not. But it's not

1337
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:04,880
Speaker 1: off to a good start. With Keenan Allen, who had

1338
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:07,320
Speaker 1: four catches for eighteen yards when these teams first met

1339
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:09,640
Speaker 1: this season, has been held under seventy five yards in

1340
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:12,560
Speaker 1: his last three games in Denver where his game is

1341
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 1: getting played. So just to see for Keenan Allen, Mike Williams,

1342
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, I just want to give him a SEA

1343
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 1: is because he's so do right he's been doing. He

1344
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:24,599
Speaker 1: had six catches for seventy four yards in the Week

1345
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 1: five game. That's startable, that's sea level side production. Five

1346
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 1: for sixty five and a touchdown last year in Denver

1347
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: probably a tougher matchup last year, that definitely a B.

1348
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna give him a C and hopefully

1349
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 1: all through the universe and get him in the end zone.

1350
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: So a CEE for Mike Williams. Kind of a gut

1351
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 1: shot call, but what are you gonna do? Hunter Henry

1352
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:47,960
Speaker 1: Almost a CE for him, but I'm gonna give him

1353
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 1: a B just because he is one of the elite

1354
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:52,640
Speaker 1: tight ends in the league outside of Herbs Smith and

1355
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 1: Kyl Rudolph, who each caught a touchdown in the Week

1356
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 1: eleven second half epic melt down by the Broncos. Denver

1357
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 1: had not allowed are They allowed just one touchdown to

1358
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:06,680
Speaker 1: tight ends and that came in Week four. Henry is

1359
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: averaging eight targets per game since returning from injury, so

1360
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 1: I will give him a B. Here. I was gonna

1361
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 1: mention his past performance, but he hasn't played Denver since

1362
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,560
Speaker 1: October of seventeen, so no point in that really. And

1363
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 1: then Philip Rivers, though, even though three starting grades for

1364
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:21,439
Speaker 1: his past catchers, that doesn't mean they're all going to produce.

1365
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: It just means they all have the potential to produce.

1366
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 1: I got Rivers on the bench. The Broncos have slender

1367
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:31,719
Speaker 1: surrendered multiple passing touchdowns in consecutive games, but Josh Allen

1368
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 1: only through a hundred and eighty five yards. And then

1369
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 1: the other game was that epic second half collapse in

1370
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,599
Speaker 1: Minneapolis that was here in Minneapolis, that is basically an anomaly.

1371
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 1: Before those two games, Denver had allowed just one quarterback

1372
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,200
Speaker 1: to top one passing touchdown all year, and only two

1373
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks managed the top two fifty passing yards. So Rivers

1374
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: on the bench, Melvin Gordon not on the bench, and

1375
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:54,759
Speaker 1: give him a B averaging twenty touches twenty plus touches

1376
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 1: over the last three games. Bell cow status is back.

1377
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:00,599
Speaker 1: Not an ideal matchup, though Denver has ran top ten

1378
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:03,639
Speaker 1: against the run by football outsiders and outside of Leo

1379
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 1: four nets two five yard outbursts against the Broncos. Only

1380
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 1: one other running back has topped ninety yards against Denver.

1381
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:14,360
Speaker 1: It was Devin Singletary against the Bills last week. Real quick,

1382
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 1: I guess how many touchdowns Melvin Gordon Melvin Gordon has

1383
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 1: rushed for against the Broncos in his career. I'm gonna guess. Well,

1384
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 1: it's obviously a lot or a little. Um six or seven, seven,

1385
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 1: six or seven games? Well, yeah, it's probably been about

1386
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 1: seven games. I'm gonna guess like one close zero zero

1387
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns, one total touchdown called a touchdown. The last

1388
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:41,679
Speaker 1: time he topped seventy rushing yards against the Broncos was October.

1389
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: But still gonna give Gordon to b for whatever reason.

1390
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:48,720
Speaker 1: But and then Austin Ekeler when these teams met in

1391
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:52,960
Speaker 1: Week five, he had fifteen catches for parts. That was

1392
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 1: that was first game back by the way um and

1393
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:59,240
Speaker 1: the outside of that game, only two loan backs have

1394
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 1: managed to three catches against the Broncos and Denver has

1395
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 1: only surrendered has a surrendered one receiving score of the

1396
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:09,479
Speaker 1: position since Week four. Uh so, yeah, I'll give Keler

1397
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: a c in PPR but just barely over to the

1398
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 1: Denver side. This will be quick. Courtland Sutton. I'm gonna

1399
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 1: give him a c might give him a be if

1400
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,760
Speaker 1: he actually had a quarterback. He had four catches ninety

1401
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:22,599
Speaker 1: two yards in a touchdown in the first game. The Chargers, though,

1402
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: are likely to get back all World safety Durwin James,

1403
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:28,760
Speaker 1: who has play at all season long and will be

1404
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 1: good in his first game back. He'll be a little rusty.

1405
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 1: But even without James, um I was gonna call him

1406
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:37,760
Speaker 1: San Diego. I can still not used call him l A.

1407
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:41,400
Speaker 1: Los Angeles was already clamping down on opposing wide receivers

1408
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 1: over the last four games. They had not surrendered a

1409
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:46,680
Speaker 1: score to the position, and no wideout has even hit

1410
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 1: the seventy receiving yard mark in those four games. So

1411
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:51,680
Speaker 1: just to see for Sutton. Not gonna mention any other

1412
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 1: wide receivers for the Broncos with Brandon Allen as a quarterback,

1413
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: I will mention, Noah fant do do we think Brandon

1414
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 1: Allen is gonna start this game? I heard Drew Lock might,

1415
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 1: but Andrew Lock has been taking first team STAPs. Could

1416
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:09,599
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. I just want to get your no, No, yeah,

1417
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 1: you should thank you for bringing that up, and it's

1418
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 1: worth mentioning for sure. But yeah, they're both not uh

1419
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 1: can have very and you know he's not gonna have

1420
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 1: a good game, is Noah fan even though he's been

1421
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 1: a target hog since the Mannie Sanders trade. If Derwin

1422
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 1: James comes back, that foe is even worse for fans.

1423
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 1: By the way, the Chargers allowed the third fewest PPR

1424
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 1: points per target last season with a healthy Derwin James.

1425
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 1: I have to thank Mike tag Lear for that stat.

1426
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 1: But even without James, it's been a bad matchup for

1427
01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 1: tight ends. Since Week four l A, the l A

1428
01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 1: Chargers have only allowed one tight end touchdown and it

1429
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:45,439
Speaker 1: went to Travis Kelsey. Recently, they also limited Darren Waller

1430
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 1: to be three catches for forty yards and week ten,

1431
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:50,599
Speaker 1: so I got fans on the bench, go grab Caden

1432
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,720
Speaker 1: Smith or Tyler Higbee much better options this week and

1433
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Allen on the bench. Philip Lindsay, though in A,

1434
01:15:56,760 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 1: has outtouched Royce Freeman thirty two to thirteen over the

1435
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 1: last two weeks. When Lindsay had a hundred and forty

1436
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:05,679
Speaker 1: seven combo yards and a touchdown in the first meeting,

1437
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:09,280
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman stole fift touches in that game. You have

1438
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 1: those touches to Philip Lindsay and we got an a.

1439
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 1: The charters have allowed at least one running back touchdown

1440
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:18,640
Speaker 1: in seven straight games. Our final set of matchups are

1441
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,840
Speaker 1: coming up next, and our final premature speculation of the

1442
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,080
Speaker 1: year also coming off. I figured one out. We got

1443
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 1: one all right, you've got a premature speculation ready to go.

1444
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that you'll like you get three

1445
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:33,600
Speaker 1: of them coming at you. These are players that you

1446
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 1: don't want to pick up this week, that everybody else

1447
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 1: is gonna be trying to pick up next week. Courtesy

Speaker 1: of the Fantasy Football Weekly time Machine. Right there, Fantasy

1449
01:16:43,000 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 1: Football Weekly returning in moments, Welcome back. Fantasy Football Weekly.

1450
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:14,639
Speaker 1: Premature Speculation might be the most popular segment on this show.

1451
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 1: It's just one week of you, guys, we think you

1452
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 1: should pick up this week that other people will be

1453
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:20,479
Speaker 1: trying to pick up next week. But they're already on

1454
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 1: your team. Begin Bryan Johnson, who's hitting the time machine

1455
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 1: for you. This is more like who you'll be picking

1456
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 1: up next season. Because I got a little bit of

1457
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:32,720
Speaker 1: a dynasty Empire angle. This is where I thought we

1458
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 1: were going to. So I also did that, which you

1459
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 1: should be playing on Safe leagues dot Com by the way.

1460
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:41,040
Speaker 1: But it's Dallas. Is Blake Jarwin tight end. Obviously, he's

1461
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 1: been sharing time with Jason Witten all season, the decrepit

1462
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 1: old Jason Win. Even though he had a good game

1463
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: last week. Whatever, Dallas tight ends are averaging six catches,

1464
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: fifty seven yards and exactly one half of a touchdown

1465
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 1: per game. Jarwin has scored half of the Cowboys tight

1466
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:57,840
Speaker 1: end touchdowns. Remove Witten from the equation next year and

1467
01:17:57,840 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: you got a top ten tight end in Blake Jarwin.

1468
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 1: All right, So mine is gonna be Andy Isabella. Larry

1469
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:06,200
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald might be playing his last season, we don't know yet,

1470
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:09,640
Speaker 1: but Andy Isabella is gonna grow with Kyler Murray. His

1471
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 1: snaps have been ticking up. He has seventy five plus

1472
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 1: yards in two of the last three weeks. Uh. And

1473
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 1: come next week, maybe you're in a league where you

1474
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 1: can drop your kicker of defense and pick up one

1475
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: of those speculative guys because you'll be done playing for

1476
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 1: the season if you're not a contender. So Andy Isabella

1477
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 1: throw him on your roster. Um the player with the

1478
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 1: easiest remaining schedule at tight end or the team I

1479
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 1: guess with the easiest remaining schedule is Cleveland. Who's coming

1480
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:38,880
Speaker 1: back David and Joku. David and Joe Wu is coming back.

1481
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 1: They get Cincinnati Arizona and then Baltimore, and actually Baltimore

1482
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 1: is the one thing they're not awesome at is against

1483
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,519
Speaker 1: the tight end. So Cincinnati Arizona Baltimore, you could be

1484
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 1: starting David and Joe Wu probably comes back this week.

1485
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: You let him knock the rust off this week, and

1486
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:55,479
Speaker 1: then you pick him up for that Cincinnati Arizona games.

1487
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 1: And now you've got somebody. You've got a startable tight

1488
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 1: end when most of the time most of don't have

1489
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 1: a starting tight end. It's a waste land. It is

1490
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:04,720
Speaker 1: a bit of a waste land out there, for sure.

1491
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:06,560
Speaker 1: The Monday night game we're gonna do Monday night and

1492
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 1: Sunday night. The Monday night game is Minnesota taking on Seattle.

1493
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:11,880
Speaker 1: And this one is a little bit thorny because of

1494
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 1: the Adam Feeland situation. He did not really practice and

1495
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 1: meaningfully all week leading up to this game. He will

1496
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 1: probably be a true game time decision, and if you

1497
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:22,400
Speaker 1: if you don't know otherwise, I think you're probably you're

1498
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:24,640
Speaker 1: probably in a very tight spot with him. If you

1499
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: had to pivot from Feeling, you could go to Josh Gordon,

1500
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 1: who'll talk about later, who's got a startable grade OLDA

1501
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 1: B C. Johnson would be his primary backup and would

1502
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 1: play his role in the offense. You could try him

1503
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:38,320
Speaker 1: if you wanted to. If Feeland does go, it's a

1504
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 1: great matchup because the Seahawks are in great flux at

1505
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 1: the slot cornerback position because they waived Jamaar Taylor and

1506
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:48,000
Speaker 1: they used to back up A Keen King in that

1507
01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 1: position last week. Keen King is allowed every single throw

1508
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:54,639
Speaker 1: in his coverage this year to be completed. So if

1509
01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:57,759
Speaker 1: Feeland is able to go, it's a pretty strong matchup

1510
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:00,640
Speaker 1: for him, and I would have a I got a

1511
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:02,920
Speaker 1: factor in the possibility that he has a setback into

1512
01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:05,040
Speaker 1: his grade. I'll give him a C grade because of

1513
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:07,839
Speaker 1: the setback scare. But if he doesn't have the setback,

1514
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:09,439
Speaker 1: and from you can tell me he wouldn't have a setback,

1515
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 1: I'd give him a much higher grade and probably an

1516
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 1: A grade. Now for Stefon Diggs on the other side,

1517
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: he is an all or nothing guy in these games

1518
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 1: when Theeland doesn't play. I think he's got a nice

1519
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 1: matchup here, though, because will mostly see Trey Flowers. He's

1520
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 1: a converted safety. He's on the slower, bigger side among

1521
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 1: cornerbacks and takes this so slippery. I think Diggs can

1522
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: scirm his way free for potentially a very good game here.

1523
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 1: And I've got to be grade on Diggs, but I'll

1524
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:38,120
Speaker 1: note that he does have these games where he just

1525
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 1: disappears when when Theeland doesn't play. If teams just decided

1526
01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:44,800
Speaker 1: to take him away at all costs, that could be

1527
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: the end of Diggs. He doesn't usually break those kind

1528
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 1: of games up. While we're staying with the passing game,

1529
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 1: let's mention Kirk Cousins. I I like him obviously a

1530
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:54,599
Speaker 1: lot more. With Adam Feeling, he gets a B grade.

1531
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:56,880
Speaker 1: With Theeeland, he gets a C grade without Feeling. Over

1532
01:20:56,920 --> 01:21:00,320
Speaker 1: the last seven games, Kirk has average two yards and

1533
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 1: two point six touchdowns, which is great. He's strowing multiple

1534
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns in six of the past seven games. Seattle secondary, though,

1535
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 1: was improving quite a bit um and they're they're actually

1536
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,280
Speaker 1: pretty good at this stage. But Cousins just got done

1537
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 1: beating too solid defenses in Dallas and Denver, so I

1538
01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily rule that out. From week four forward. Seattle

1539
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 1: is allowing less than one touchdown past per game. That's it.

1540
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 1: Are you buying into the primetime narratives? Still, we're Kirk

1541
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:26,760
Speaker 1: Struggles in primetime? He said, I mean, just just be

1542
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 1: Dallas in primetime to two games ago. I'm not uh kurt.

1543
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:33,560
Speaker 1: For Kyle Rudolph on fire with five touchdowns over his

1544
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:35,640
Speaker 1: last five games. The Seahawks have been one of the

1545
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:39,040
Speaker 1: worst tight end defenses. They ranked bottom five in tight

1546
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:42,679
Speaker 1: end receptions and yards allowed, and they just allowed nineteen

1547
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 1: receptions to the Eagles tight ends last week nineteen. So

1548
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:48,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph gets a C grade in this one too.

1549
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:51,080
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Seattle side easy. A grade for

1550
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:56,320
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. His peers that have faced the Vikings have

1551
01:21:56,400 --> 01:22:00,719
Speaker 1: been really effective. Dak Prescott, Matthew Stafford Carson, It's Matt Ryan,

1552
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:04,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers good quarterbacks like Russell Wilson. They average three

1553
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:08,520
Speaker 1: hundred sixteen yards and two point six touchdowns against Minnesota.

1554
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 1: He's got strong matchups all over the field. A grade

1555
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,439
Speaker 1: for him and an A grade for his two starting receivers,

1556
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett in DK Metcalf. Minnesota's a bottom five secondary

1557
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:22,240
Speaker 1: in yards and receptions and touchdowns allowed to wide receivers

1558
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:25,719
Speaker 1: over the last five weeks, and Tyler Locket will mostly

1559
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:28,360
Speaker 1: get Mackenzie Alexander out of the slot. He's been their

1560
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:30,519
Speaker 1: best cornerback, but that is not a high bar to clear,

1561
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:33,719
Speaker 1: and he's still allowing of the passes in his coverage

1562
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:36,879
Speaker 1: to be completed, So Tyler Lockett gets an A DK Metcalf.

1563
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:41,080
Speaker 1: Big bodied receivers like Metcalf almost always get extensive coverage

1564
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 1: by Xavier Rhodes, and that is a green light for

1565
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:46,439
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. Rhodes is playing at the lowest level of

1566
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:49,840
Speaker 1: his career, allowing eighties six percent of the passes in

1567
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:54,960
Speaker 1: his coverage to be completed. He ranks one among cornerbacks

1568
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus Xavier Rhodes x Xavier as he

1569
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:01,720
Speaker 1: likes to call himself now um even Josh Gordon is

1570
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 1: in the mix for many of these same reasons he

1571
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 1: would draw. Trey Wayne's also on a down year, he

1572
01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 1: gets a C grade. Jacob Hollister, their tight end is

1573
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:11,799
Speaker 1: also startable with a B grade. Minnesota's the most targeted

1574
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 1: team for tight ends at ten per game and their

1575
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:18,559
Speaker 1: twenty nine and tight end receptions allowed. They did give

1576
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:20,639
Speaker 1: up just their first tight end touchdown of the season

1577
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:25,439
Speaker 1: last week to something called Troy Fumagali Hollister averaging almost

1578
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,640
Speaker 1: seven targets per game, so he's very safe in this

1579
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 1: one as well, even if he doesn't get the score.

1580
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:31,640
Speaker 1: And that brings us to the fascinating part of this

1581
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 1: matchup between the Vikings and the Seahawks, and that's at

1582
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 1: the running back position, where I've got C grades on

1583
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:39,840
Speaker 1: both Chris Carson and Rashad Penny. For Carson, he had

1584
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:41,920
Speaker 1: the two fumbles last week and then basically didn't see

1585
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 1: the field again, and Penny ran like crazy. We don't

1586
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:46,880
Speaker 1: know what the plan is for the Seahawks on this,

1587
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 1: but we're either case. The Vikings are a good run defense.

1588
01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:53,599
Speaker 1: Whether or not Linval Joseph comes back and his status

1589
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 1: is up in the air as well. He's their run

1590
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 1: stuffing defensive aligneman, but they haven't even missed him. In

1591
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: the two games he missed, they bottled up Ezekiel Elliott

1592
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:03,560
Speaker 1: and Philip Lindsay, so the only two runners that have

1593
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 1: done Only two runners have done anything against the Vikings

1594
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:08,800
Speaker 1: all year, and one of them needed a ninety one

1595
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,439
Speaker 1: yard run to get there. So I got Carson and

1596
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,439
Speaker 1: Penny just on C grades and you're rolling the dice

1597
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 1: on the usage on both of those guys. Let's get

1598
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:18,719
Speaker 1: to our final match up here, which is a Sunday

1599
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: night er, New England taking on Houston. Yes, so Tom

1600
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 1: Brady has not been great recently. Over the last five games,

1601
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 1: he's averaging two in thirty nine yards and he's throwing

1602
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:30,880
Speaker 1: just five touchdowns, but the Texans are allowing three more

1603
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns in five last seven, and it's it's just

1604
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:36,920
Speaker 1: a good matchup. It feels like a get right matchup.

1605
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 1: It feels like a get right matchup. So I gave

1606
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:41,800
Speaker 1: him a B grade. I'm giving edelman An a grade

1607
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 1: ten plus targets in six trade. He's his main guy.

1608
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: The questionable thing is the New or Dorset are they

1609
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:49,920
Speaker 1: gonna play It? Sounds like dor they're both on the

1610
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 1: right side of questionable Dorset cleared protocol, so he should

1611
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 1: be back if the New doesn't go. I'm giving USIG

1612
01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 1: grade to Dorsett, who has scored at five touchdowns in

1613
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:02,719
Speaker 1: his eight games. If snow goes his first game was okay,

1614
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:05,599
Speaker 1: his second game was great, and then his third game

1615
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:08,639
Speaker 1: got injured. I tend to lead more to the second game.

1616
01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:12,599
Speaker 1: I think he's a C grade. Uh, White Michelle, I'm

1617
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 1: giving him both Seas. Their snap percentage have dropped nearly

1618
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:19,160
Speaker 1: ten percent each since Rex Burkehead came back, and their

1619
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 1: numbers have dwindled. But this is a bottom six run

1620
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:25,799
Speaker 1: defense of the Texans that just got crushed by Marlon

1621
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 1: mark Ingram and Gus Edwards and Jonathan Williams. So I'm

1622
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:32,240
Speaker 1: giving him both C grades. On the other side, Deshaun

1623
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: Watson given him a B grade. It's a tough us

1624
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 1: this week. It happened with Lamar Jackson too. Uh. Deshaun Watson,

1625
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,160
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback, has five rushing touchdowns. Maybe he can get

1626
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:47,680
Speaker 1: it there. The last quarterback to face the paths to

1627
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 1: have two was over two fifteen yards was Week one.

1628
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:54,639
Speaker 1: The B grade is basically rushing, so I'm giving Hopkins

1629
01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 1: and Fuller both C grades. Hopkins gets Gilmour who's shutting

1630
01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 1: everyone down, but it's still the Jay Hopkins, Fuller gets mccordy,

1631
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:05,000
Speaker 1: and Fuller is questionable. He might be, he might be limited.

1632
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: Mccordy has the speed to run with him, and the

1633
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,880
Speaker 1: Paths have only allowed one wide receiver touchdown this year.

1634
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:13,560
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping Fuller can get deep for one. I

1635
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:16,000
Speaker 1: don't think you should mention because he has that explosive

1636
01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:20,240
Speaker 1: high ceiling. I'm benching the other guys though, bad bad,

1637
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 1: bad defense. It's a bad matchup for the Runners. And

1638
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:25,720
Speaker 1: Darren Fells isn't scoring touchdowns anymore. And that's all he

1639
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:31,439
Speaker 1: was giving you before, exactly was scoring touchdowns. Yeah, that's it. Yeah,

1640
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 1: they're dead in this game. Yeah, I think you're probably

1641
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: right about that. This is like the second actual team

1642
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:42,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots are playing this season though, Yeah, it's true twice,

1643
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 1: the Giants, the Redskins, Scott. Yes, you've you have put

1644
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:51,599
Speaker 1: together a sabotage drop. And for people and listeners who

1645
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 1: don't know, the sabotage drop is something that we've quasi invented.

1646
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 1: We've been to the term anyway. The ideas you drop

1647
01:26:57,479 --> 01:27:01,360
Speaker 1: a high profile player, a player's name familiar with the

1648
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 1: intent for somebody else to do two things. One use

1649
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:06,600
Speaker 1: up a waiver priority or a bunch of fab to

1650
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:10,440
Speaker 1: go get that guy and then go start him mistakenly

1651
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 1: because you know that player is not somebody that you

1652
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 1: you would ever be starting. So who is your sabotage

1653
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:17,960
Speaker 1: drop candidate? You might get shocked by this, but it's

1654
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:20,840
Speaker 1: a guy who forty nine percent of his fantasy points

1655
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:25,800
Speaker 1: came in three weeks. Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers. All three

1656
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:29,160
Speaker 1: of those games were against bottom nine past defenses at

1657
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,639
Speaker 1: the time they played. Now the left the Giants this week.

1658
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start him this week and then drop him

1659
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:38,559
Speaker 1: on Monday. Right. The thing this is after the Giants game,

1660
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:41,719
Speaker 1: drop him for fantasy playoffs because Washington has only allowed

1661
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 1: the average of two eighteen yards passing in a total

1662
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:47,559
Speaker 1: of seven touchdowns over the last six weeks. They flipped

1663
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 1: the script on past defense. Then he gets Minnesota. You know,

1664
01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:52,800
Speaker 1: in the last time Aaron Rodgers through for more than

1665
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 1: yards in Minnesota seven years ago, the last time he

1666
01:27:57,400 --> 01:28:01,640
Speaker 1: threw multiple touchdowns in Minnesota over five years ago. He
