<v Speaker 1>longest running fantasy football show, Fantasy Football Weekly, I am

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:31.479
<v Speaker 1>Paul Charchy. In my coast today are Brian Johnson and

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Scott Fish. Hello, gentlemen. What's going on charts? Someone's a

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 1>little rusty. Yeah, Oh my god, button got you a

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks. That's it has been a couple of weeks.

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I hope you enjoyed the time away from the show.

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:47.559
<v Speaker 1>Full our listeners didn't take time away from the show,

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>because we're gonna break down every game fantasy style. We'll

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>give you a letter grade on every player, which we do,

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and we also give you our rationale for reach grade,

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>so you can decide if you're on board or not

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>with ourt thinking. And then a few minutes from now,

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll give you nine eyes upon whom you can take

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>a chance. These are players that are often on the

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.320
<v Speaker 1>waiver wire, Guys you would not normally start, but you

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>can this week. Later on, we'll answer three tough questions.

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>And last week I said it was gonna be the

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.680
<v Speaker 1>last week of premature speculation because the bye weeks were

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>over and we're gonna need all the time we could get.

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>But I forgot we had the Thanksgiving games. So now

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 1>with the extra time afforded to us, with three games over,

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>premature speculation is back. Oh yeah, you quickly figure. Yes,

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a dynasty twist to it too, though, right,

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 1>well necessarily if you if you that's the way you

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 1>want to go with it, you could, but that's sound.

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll leave that up to you. Okay, well that's how

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I interpreted the homework, but we'll get to that later. Yeah,

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>we will get to that later. We will start, however,

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>with oh, let me mention this maybe as the as

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>before we dive right into matchups in Cleveland. Pittsburgh's coming

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>up first. Adam Feeland's status is going to go. It

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>appears it's going to be unknown going into the Monday

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>night game. The advice that I have is make another plan.

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 1>One of those viable plans can be to d it

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>out all the way to Monday night and pick up

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Josh Gordon the Vikings have given up. They rant and

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver touchdowns allowed twenty third and wide receiver yardage allowed.

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Josh Gordon generally available in leagues. She could pick up

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Josh Gordon now uh and have him ready to swap

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>in for Adam theland But overall, broadly, I think you

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 1>need to have a backup plan ready to go theland owners,

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>and at this point you probably do because it's been

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>five weeks of this nonsense. Get well soon. Let's dive

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>into the matchups. Cleveland taking on Pittsburgh Scott. Even with

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Kareem Hunt getting a lot of work in this offense,

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Nick Chubb has remained very vital. He's getting plenty of carries,

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:46.639
<v Speaker 1>in fact, averaging twenty three carries in the games with

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>with Kareem Hunt, how do you like him in this

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 1>matchup against Pittsburgh? I still like chubbing this matchup. As

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned, Kareem Hunt is is getting them all attended.

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Twelve touches a game, Nick Chubb twenty two to twenty

0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>seven touches a game. They're just feeding their running back

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.639
<v Speaker 1>right now and it's making it's making the offense run

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.239
<v Speaker 1>smoother than than put in Mayfield's hands the whole time.

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Chubb has twenty plus touches in all but one game

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 1>this year and is averaging a hundred twenty five total

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>yards in those games. I still have an A grade

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>on him. I don't blame me. I have a C

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 1>grade on Hunt though, because he's getting that receiving work.

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 1>He's averaging five catches per game in those three in

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the three games, he's played forty five to seventy seven

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 1>yards in all three and he's had ton touches in

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>each game. So he's viable in this as a C grade.

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.919
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly what we told you you were gonna get

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>out of Kareem Hunt and he was coming back. We're like, look,

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get four, five, six, seven ish catches, and

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna get yards, and you're gonna he's gonna give

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>you a chance of touchdowns. We also thought the Browns

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>would be like eight and three. At least the fantasy

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>side is working out for that, okay, So in the

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>passing game, Baker Mayfield is gonna be for me. Pittsburgh

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 1>has been stingy, holding six of the last eight eight

0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks they faced under two hundred yards and wrecking up

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>eleven interceptions on those, but Mayfield has seemed to turn

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the corner with eight total touchdowns in the last few weeks,

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>and he managed three touchdowns just despite lowyard. It's just

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>two weeks ago against the same Steelers team and he

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>gets David Njoku back. The offenses look better since then,

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 1>So I'm giving Mayfield a soft B. That's what we

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>call it. Okay, b uh Landry, who is the alpha

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>in this receiving corps, gets an A grade for me.

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>He's completely overtaken OH b J as the lead dog

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 1>in this pound I guess dog pound here. Over his

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.159
<v Speaker 1>last four games, he's averaging over seven catches per game

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>and scored five times, including at least one touchdown in

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.600
<v Speaker 1>all four games. For the last four OH b J

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.360
<v Speaker 1>B grade he had ten targets and I'm gonna air

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>quote that for radio because if you watch that game

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>against the Steelers that he had ten targets, Mayfield was

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.719
<v Speaker 1>not close to him on half of them. So if

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Mayfield can get him on target, uh his targets on targeted,

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>his targets on target, O b J could have a

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 1>better day. And remember he was tackled at the one

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.479
<v Speaker 1>on one as well. He almost scored. So uh he's

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>top fifty yards in sixth straight and averages five catches

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>per game in those. Uh, he's safer each week than

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>people give him credit for because we expect these huge

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.160
<v Speaker 1>blow up games. But he is getting you, you know,

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 1>five for fifty or so. It's not great. Nobody took

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.280
<v Speaker 1>ode Odell Beckham hoping for five, I know. But when

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about starting him against the Steelers in week

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>thirteen here, you can expect the five for fifty hope

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 1>for a little more. I'm giving him a B grade there.

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>And Joeku in his first game back, I'm still sitting

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>on the bench, just just for now. He has three

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.040
<v Speaker 1>catches in all but one game under with Mayfield under center,

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>but this is his first week back, and the Browns

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 1>had barely targeted the tight end at all this year,

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe because Ninjo who has been out, but outside of

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>a two touchdown Will Disley game and a and a

0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.120
<v Speaker 1>big Hunter Henry game, the Steelers have basically shut own

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.479
<v Speaker 1>head ends all year. On the other side, I think

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Invention the almost the entire team against the Browns with

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Duck Hodges at quarterback. Uh, Juju is gonna be out.

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.719
<v Speaker 1>He's likely somewhere. Yeah, I like Duck Hodges, but not

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 1>in this matchup. Juju is gonna be out, which is

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>bad for the whole off. Is that the revenge duck

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 1>for Joe Hayden? Well wait wait it is. It is

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.279
<v Speaker 1>the Duck Hodges sounded Now you just heard the Duck

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Hodges version. This is the revenge duck version. He's a

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 1>faster um It's it's technically exactly the same. It's really

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>it's just a context. You know, the listeners and Captain

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Cipher this themselves. But you know, we needed a sounder

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>for revenge when there's a revenge matchup, like when Jarvis

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Landry plays the Dolphins or whatever. Right, so we need

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:54.240
<v Speaker 1>But what's the sound of revenge? It's something like that.

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe maybe I don't know. That's from a movie. I

0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>got that. The only I've only have here's the the

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>only other thing I have on the button bar. Is

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:09.479
<v Speaker 1>this that's not revenge. It reminds me a die hard

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.120
<v Speaker 1>and there's some revenge aspects and dying. It was a

0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of revenge. It's way better than a duck. I'm

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 1>just gonna throw it. I kind of like the revenge

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>dot revenge. You control the board. So boy, well, I

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:24.120
<v Speaker 1>do have Mason Hodges on the bench. It is a

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>benefit that he's not Mason Rudolph. I mean that's a

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>good side, but the bad side is the Steelers are

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>top ten. It gets quarterbacks in almost every category, especially

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 1>over the last five weeks. Uh do do Obviously on

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>the bench, he's likely somewhere driving a hundred four miles

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 1>with the concussion while using his film, different film to

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 1>film it. Uh. James Washington is the only one I

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 1>might consider, but I'm still not because he went duck

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>hunting with Duck Hodges. Do you see that? That's amazing? Yeah,

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 1>that's there's a connection there. I didn't know that Duck

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Hodges got his name because he was a duck hunter

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 1>until this week National duck Caller. I had no idea.

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I just thought it was just some quirky name him

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 1>that people you know, national champion duck color. I had

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>no Does he take him down with footballs? That would

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>be impressive, that would be that would be really impressive. Yeah,

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 1>there's the really left in this matchup. We've got to

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 1>be done. No, well, like twenty eight minutes into this

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 1>right now, but we talked about revenge ducks for eight

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of them. So I would have given Benny Snell a

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 1>S grade if James James Conner didn't decide to start

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to get healthy and want to get in. So maybe

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>he gets the C grade if he goes. I think

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>he does. I think Benny Snell is actually pretty good

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 1>play this week, Yeah, I I do. If James Conner

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 1>stays out, he's not playing. James Connor is not playing,

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>and even if he does, he's doubtful. Even if he

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>does play, start how many plays does he get? Six?

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Don't get him started with James Conner fish he's going

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 1>to be a Ram. Yeah. It probably a lot of hatred,

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:56.559
<v Speaker 1>but understandably l a the Rams take on the Arizona Cardinals.

0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Now for the Rams side, the entire passing game is

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>a complete disaster. Behind Jared Goff a tree. Tip of

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.320
<v Speaker 1>the hat. Tip of the hat to our frequent co

0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.439
<v Speaker 1>host Matt Harrison, who pegged this thing in the preseason

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.200
<v Speaker 1>and has been riding out his advice all season on

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 1>avoiding basically all parts of the Ram passing game. He

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 1>saw this coming in a way that nobody else did

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>that I know. Of What do you think about this

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>opportunity against Arizona. All right, I was gonna start with

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Todd Gurley, but we'll start with the passing game. And

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.559
<v Speaker 1>Cooper Cup gonna give him a B. And of course

0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 1>every one of these receivers is yes, Jared Goff is

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>his quarterback. You know that's the asterisk in all this.

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 1>But Arizona has allowed eleven touchdowns. Slot receivers Tyler Boyd

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>and Danny Amndla alone combined for seventeen catches, two seven

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 1>yards and two touchdowns. I'm still giving Cooper Cup a

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 1>B despite Jared Goff. Just insert by the way, despite

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Jared Goff after each one of these receivers eleven. Most

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 1>NFL teams haven't given up eleven wide receivers touchdowns period.

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 1>The Cardinals have given up a love into the slot

0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 1>receiver almost as many tight end touchdowns that they We'll

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.680
<v Speaker 1>get to that in a second. Um Robert Woods again,

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 1>despite Jared Goff, I'm gonna give him a see a

0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 1>good candidate to see more targets. If Gerald Everett can't play,

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about that in a second. And Arizona has

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 1>allowed a league high twenty nine passing touchdowns, shockingly less

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.560
<v Speaker 1>than half of gone to wide receivers. But Byron Murphy

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>and Patrick Peterson aren't much of a concern sad that

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Pat Pete isn't these days, so I'm still gonna give

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.679
<v Speaker 1>the Woods to see um. But what is the concern

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.560
<v Speaker 1>is Jared Goff yet again. And that's why Brandon Cooks

0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>is on the bench because he's the deep ball guy.

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.079
<v Speaker 1>And Goff's completion percentage on passes of twenty yards or

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:45.280
<v Speaker 1>more is under thirty percent. It's like it's like twelve

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.680
<v Speaker 1>or forty. It's something incredibly awful. So I got Cooks

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 1>on the bench way to boom or bust and Gerald Everett.

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Here's the analysis if you don't know, the most catches

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.720
<v Speaker 1>allowed to tight ends, the most yards, the most touchdowns.

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.320
<v Speaker 1>So that's what the Cardinals have surrender to opposing tight ends.

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 1>But he's been very limited. Uh, he was limited on Friday,

0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 1>has not practiced all. Well, you gotta add Higby. I

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 1>think in almost any league, just because you might, Higby

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.679
<v Speaker 1>would be more enticing TV top ten tight ends. So

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>if they rule out ever, if they rule out Evert

0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, this is a late afternoon game, we should

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.479
<v Speaker 1>say we're mentioning early in the show. But it's a

0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 1>four o'clock Eastern start. Yes, So if they rule out Everett,

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 1>where would you rank Higby? See top five. He's not

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Kelsey and I think he's a tight end one in

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.880
<v Speaker 1>that he's a top twelve option. I don't see how

0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>he's not like that. That's pretty pretty impressive for a

0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Higby. But anyway, Jared Goff, though still on the bench,

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.320
<v Speaker 1>we won't get into that. And Todd Gurley, I didn't

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 1>give him an a in this one. Thirty one touches

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.439
<v Speaker 1>over the last two weeks, practically a bell cow again.

0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:51.839
<v Speaker 1>The Cardinals are top twelve and rushing yards allowed to

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.599
<v Speaker 1>running backs, and over the last four games, Arizona is

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.840
<v Speaker 1>allowing ten catches and eighty yards per game through the

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 1>air to running backs with top girl is and anymore

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.560
<v Speaker 1>this year. He finally was getting targeted in the passing

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 1>game last year. But yeah, last week last week, sorry, um,

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.679
<v Speaker 1>but help that they were down by a billion early.

0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 1>This is this is probably the girly game of all

0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 1>girly games. Is gonna be this game, even though he's

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of been hot lately. Anyway, over to the Arizona side,

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 1>who also has been hot as Kyler Murray uh total

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.720
<v Speaker 1>five touchdowns across two recent meetings with the forty niners

0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:27.560
<v Speaker 1>and uh so Kylin Roe's getting drafted what six rounds

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>before Lamar Jackson in the pre season, so we won't

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 1>talk about that. But I think Lamar laid out a

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 1>pretty nice blueprint globile quarterback in shred the Rams. So

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I think just a B from Murray though, because I'm

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 1>not in love with the past catchers Christian Kirk just

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>to see when healthy. Kirk has commanded percent of the

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals target share, but over the last two weeks he's

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 1>run eight five percent of his routes from the boundaries,

0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>not the slot. Only interesting the st He'll still see

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>a ton of Jalen Ramsey, who isn't as shut down

0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.320
<v Speaker 1>as he has been, but still Ramsey has not allowed

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown in his coverage this season, and Larry Fitzgerald

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I have on the bench held under fifty yards and

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.080
<v Speaker 1>six of his last eight games draws a tough match

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 1>matchup in Nickel Roby Coleman, who only allowed one touchdown

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.560
<v Speaker 1>this season, and that was to Chris Godwin in Week four.

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 1>So I got old fits on the bench unfortunately, and

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Kenyan Drake, the only running back worth talking about on

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.560
<v Speaker 1>this team, has averaged over five yards per carrys since

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the trade to Arizona. The Rams are good against the run.

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 1>They've only allowed three running backs to top a hundred

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 1>rushing yards on the year, Christian McCaffrey in week one,

0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Chris Carson in Week five, and mark Ingram last week.

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.720
<v Speaker 1>But the one correlation is all those running backs have

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.679
<v Speaker 1>very mobile quarterbacks like Kenyan has with Kyler Murray, McCaffrey

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 1>had Cam Newton in week one, not not Kyle Allen.

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 1>And the Rams have also conceded at least five catches

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.559
<v Speaker 1>and or a receiving touchdown to running backs in fourth straight.

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 1>So I got a b on Kenyan Drake. Alright, Sorry

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 1>that was very long, and I know in fact, you

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.199
<v Speaker 1>know what, Let's say we normally do three matchups here,

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.520
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna take a break instead, we'll we'll push San

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Francisco Baltimore into our next segment. San Francisco Baltimore is

0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 1>a signature matchup with all kinds of intrigue into that game.

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.200
<v Speaker 1>And we'll talk about that when when we come back

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.760

0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 1>a chance on me Fantasy Football Week. Cle my co

0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 1>host and I will provide three quarterbacks, to running backs,

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 1>and three receivers who we believe are startable this week,

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 1>and unique situations for unique reasons, beginning with Brian Johnson

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 1>at the quarterback position. After taking Mitch Trubisky last week,

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 1>even though we had two touchdowns, little two touchdowns, I

0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:17.120
<v Speaker 1>need a bit of a lay up here, so I'm

0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 1>taking Jacksonville's Nick Foles at home versus the Bucks. It's

0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 1>quite simple. Tampa is allowing forty two pass attempts per game,

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the highest clip in the league, and prior to the

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Falcons game last week, the Bucks had allowed multiple passing

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in eight straight games. In five of those eight games,

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.720
<v Speaker 1>they allowed at least three passing touchdowns. Foals doesn't get

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.280
<v Speaker 1>it done, though, it's Gardener menshown. I'll tell you that's

0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 1>right back to Gardner minsh All right, Scott, I'm sticking

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 1>with the Sam Donald train. Gave an a grade this week.

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Actually has seven touchdowns in the last two weeks, averaging

0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.160
<v Speaker 1>over three hundred yards, and those He's even tacked on

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.200
<v Speaker 1>a couple of Russian touchdowns in the last three weeks,

0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.920
<v Speaker 1>and the Bengals had given up multiple touchdowns and allowed

0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 1>an average of over three hundred yards per game in

0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.680
<v Speaker 1>three games. Were to holding on dead head and duck

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:05.720
<v Speaker 1>caller last week and he made out with a girl. Yeah,

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.200
<v Speaker 1>way to go, Sammy boy. Just one. I was like,

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:14.920
<v Speaker 1>come on, kidding in New York. One In New York,

0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.080
<v Speaker 1>if you go to Jersey, usually they come in a

0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 1>six pack. They might send the Jets over to Hoboken

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:26.400
<v Speaker 1>to celebrateing, not Manhattan. Andy Dalton was benched as the

0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 1>league leader in completions. How Bengals is that? Now he's

0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Now now he's back and he gets the Jets. Now,

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I know the Jets just shut down Derek Carr and

0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't care. In the month prior to that, the

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Jets got rocked for twelve touchdowns by four guys who

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 1>had been on the bench at some point this year,

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Gardner Minshew R. Fitzpatrick, Daniel Jones, and Dwayne Haskins. Twelve

0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.360
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns from those guys. Andy Dalton's the best quarterback out

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 1>of this group. I fully expect they solid game from

0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Andy Dalton. Let's go to the running back position, Brian

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I got Green Bay's Jamal Williams at the Giants. Now,

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna mention Green Bay wide receivers in this very quickly.

0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Since Week five, this is seven games a Green Bay

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Packer wide receiver has caught at least fat five passes

0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:15.439
<v Speaker 1>only four times in the last seven games. It's been

0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.919
<v Speaker 1>Davante Adams three times and then Alan's Art once. Jamal

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Williams is arguably the best receiver on that team outside

0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 1>of Davante Adams. Last week, Williams saw eight targets to

0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Jones. Is one He actually outtouched Aaron Jones last

0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.399
<v Speaker 1>week and the Giants are one of four teams that

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.119
<v Speaker 1>haven't surrendered surrendered to receiving scored a running back, but

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.159
<v Speaker 1>they've allowed some big, some massive catch totals to the position.

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota running backs at seven catches, New England backs had thirteen.

0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:43.080
<v Speaker 1>The Bears backs had twelve last week. So Jamal Williams

0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:44.639
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have a big game, and so is Aaron Rodgers.

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.879
<v Speaker 1>Will talk about this more. Yeah, you will, uh member

0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.800
<v Speaker 1>three quarterback this week? Scott Who's gonna take a chance

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.159
<v Speaker 1>of me? Running back? I'm going with Miles Sanders. It

0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.720
<v Speaker 1>looks like Howard's going to be out again and it's

0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.879
<v Speaker 1>gonna be the Sanders a gi show, and Sanders out

0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:01.240
<v Speaker 1>snapped him by a ton last week. Sanders has at

0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.440
<v Speaker 1>least three catches in seven of the last eight games,

0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:05.320
<v Speaker 1>so he's gonna get you some PPR points and he's

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:09.040
<v Speaker 1>at least thirteen touches in those games, averaging over five

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 1>yards per touch. The Dolphins, if they're not good. They're

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.280
<v Speaker 1>allowing second most total yards per game to running backs

0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 1>and also the most attempts and most rushing yards. It's

0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.720
<v Speaker 1>it's just a smash spot for Sanders. The worst run

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 1>defense in the NFL is the Carolina Panthers, and so

0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:28.520
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna take Darius Guys for a breakout game coming

0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 1>up here. Last week he got more carries and Adrian

0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Peterson and Wendell Small but of course, but for Peterson,

0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.000
<v Speaker 1>if you don't know, knee lingering, knee and toe injuries

0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.280
<v Speaker 1>have really hobbled him. He's been running at about two

0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.359
<v Speaker 1>and a half yards per clip over the last couple

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 1>of games. This is all setting up for the big

0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:46.440
<v Speaker 1>breakout game for Darius Guys here. Running backs have scored

0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 1>in seven straight games against the Panthers. In their last

0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:55.639
<v Speaker 1>five games, they've given up ten running back touchdowns on

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:58.960
<v Speaker 1>four rushing yards per game and five and a half

0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:01.439
<v Speaker 1>yards per carry. If Guys is going to get the

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:04.200
<v Speaker 1>majority of the work, I love him in this matchup.

0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the receivers. Brian, you know I gotta

0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:14.160
<v Speaker 1>get grimy with the tight end by you. New York's

0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the New York Football Giants. I should say Caden Smith,

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 1>who might be Will Smith's son lately Leaven will Smith's

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:26.800
<v Speaker 1>son can do well against the Packers, who are allowing

0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.320
<v Speaker 1>seven catches per game to tight ends over the last

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.920
<v Speaker 1>five games. Darren Waller, Travis Kelsey, George Kittle, and Dallas

0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Goddard alone have combined for five touchdowns and no, Kayden

0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:39.359
<v Speaker 1>Smith is not any of those guys. But Evan Ingram

0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:42.680
<v Speaker 1>ruled out, Rett Ellison ruled out, Golden Tate is out,

0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 1>and talk about this game more. But Caden Smith five

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.200
<v Speaker 1>catches in a touchdown last week. I bet he repeats

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:52.399
<v Speaker 1>that performance this week as well. I'm going with Jack Doyle.

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm staying on the tight end U boat here, buddy.

0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:59.120
<v Speaker 1>We got Eric hebron Now out for the season. Uh. Hooper,

0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Henry Kelsey into Joeku all had great games against Wow.

0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:10.240
<v Speaker 1>I lost my train of thought here against the Tennessee Titans. Yeah. Uh,

0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Indie tight ends have average six point four catches on

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.440
<v Speaker 1>nine point two targets and nearly seventy yards per game

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:18.159
<v Speaker 1>when Hilton is limited or out. And that's all you

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.240
<v Speaker 1>brown this week. Um, it's a good when Doyle, you

0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:23.639
<v Speaker 1>put Doyle and Ebron together, you've got tight end five

0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:26.600
<v Speaker 1>and it's there in terms of their fantasy production. If

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Doyle's gonna get all of Ebron's production, and I think

0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:32.240
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna get most of it, I don't think. Uh,

0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Molly Ali Cox. What is that guy's moli ai. I

0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:40.400
<v Speaker 1>don't think all the Ali action for he's gonna get

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:42.159
<v Speaker 1>a lot of gotta get a lot of work suddenly

0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:45.080
<v Speaker 1>in that offense. My take a chance on me receiver

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:49.119
<v Speaker 1>is an actual wide receiver d D. Westbrook against Tampa Bay,

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.399
<v Speaker 1>the league's worst secondary by a mile. In the last

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:55.200
<v Speaker 1>five games, no team has surrendered more scores or fantasy

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:57.879
<v Speaker 1>points to opposing wide receivers. And Westbrook runs out of

0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:00.200
<v Speaker 1>the slot. And that's really important here because Up was

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:04.440
<v Speaker 1>trolling out their fourth slot wide receiver. Now a guy

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:09.000
<v Speaker 1>named Mike Evans, a converted safety. He's way too slow

0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.800
<v Speaker 1>to hang with D. D. Westbrook, who's got four three speed,

0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 1>and I think Westbrook clicks for at least one long

0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:18.720
<v Speaker 1>touchdown in this game. I like it. Thank you. Let's

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:20.920
<v Speaker 1>move on to some of our matchups, including San Francisco

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 1>and Baltimore, a fascinating matchup between two great defenses and

0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 1>two offenses that generally fantasy owners can rely upon. Let's

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:30.920
<v Speaker 1>start with the San Francisco side, and I'm gonna start

0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:32.880
<v Speaker 1>with the running game here, where Tevin Coleman just gets

0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:36.560
<v Speaker 1>a C grade. He's averaged only twenty nine rushing yards

0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:39.679
<v Speaker 1>and twenty six receiving yards per game and scored just

0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:43.320
<v Speaker 1>one touchdown over his last month of games. It's not

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:45.600
<v Speaker 1>been great for Tevin Coleman, and and that's been with

0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Matt Brita out and by the way, and there's a

0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:49.920
<v Speaker 1>chance Brita is gonna play in this game, or even

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:51.679
<v Speaker 1>a likelihood he plays in this game, and that just

0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:54.479
<v Speaker 1>muddies the water unfortunately for him. Although you wouldn't want

0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 1>to start Brita if even if he does go, who knows,

0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:00.919
<v Speaker 1>any play could be his last. It's noting here that

0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:04.320
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco used to be have the highest run percentage

0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:06.000
<v Speaker 1>in the league for about the first half of the season,

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:08.399
<v Speaker 1>but that's really changed lately and now they're down to

0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the ninth highest on the season, so they're they're really

0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 1>much more of a balanced offensive attack of late. The

0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Ravens are the opponent. They've been victim of some garbage

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.480
<v Speaker 1>time rushing stats lately, but I still held their running

0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:21.520
<v Speaker 1>backs to just three point eight yards per carry and

0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:23.760
<v Speaker 1>just two scores in the last six games. So that's

0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 1>why Tevin Coleman is just a C grade here. And

0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:27.960
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to start Brita or most diret Those

0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:30.640
<v Speaker 1>guys need much easier matchups. Let's go to the passing game,

0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:33.359
<v Speaker 1>where Jimmy Garoppolo gets a C grade. He notched a

0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:36.320
<v Speaker 1>career best pass rating of a hundred forty five against

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the Packers last time we saw him. He's completed over

0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.560
<v Speaker 1>seventy his passes and four of the past five games,

0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:46.359
<v Speaker 1>which is downright breezy and in magnitude. He's thrown multiple

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:48.880
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in four the past five games, which is downright

0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:53.400
<v Speaker 1>mahomes e in. But the Ravens have dominated opposing quarterbacks

0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:57.040
<v Speaker 1>ever since they got Jimmy Smith back from injury and

0:22:57.119 --> 0:23:01.960
<v Speaker 1>added in Marcus Peters. They've been rule since Week nine.

0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:05.080
<v Speaker 1>They're allowing an average of just two d eight passing

0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:10.400
<v Speaker 1>yards and zero point five touchdowns also known as half

0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:14.639
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown per game. None of garoppolos receivers have a

0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 1>positive matchup in this game, and let's talk about those now,

0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:19.800
<v Speaker 1>beginning with Deebo Samuel, who has been red hot since

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Emmanuel Sanders injury with ten yards per catch, but most

0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:27.280
<v Speaker 1>often faced Marcus Peters has been great, and the Ravens

0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:29.280
<v Speaker 1>give up just four point seven yards per pass attempt

0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 1>that second lowest. I think that takes the deep all

0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:34.160
<v Speaker 1>away from Deebo Samuel. He's just a C grade. Emmanuel

0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Sanders has not been the same since his rib injury,

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:39.919
<v Speaker 1>and this is again a very tough matchup. Baltimore is

0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 1>only allowed one wide receiver score in the last five games.

0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:48.120
<v Speaker 1>He will see a lot of Marlon Humphrey got hurt

0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:50.800
<v Speaker 1>against the Rams, but came back into that game and

0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:53.080
<v Speaker 1>should play here. And he just held Cooper Cup the

0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:56.520
<v Speaker 1>thirty five scoreless yards. So Emmanuel Sanders is on the

0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>bench in this one. The only other guy worth mentioning

0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:02.480
<v Speaker 1>is George Kittle. He slumps to an unusual B grade here.

0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:05.520
<v Speaker 1>The Ravens have only allowed one tight end touchdown over

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:08.159
<v Speaker 1>the last six weeks and haven't allowed a tight end

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:11.320
<v Speaker 1>to top thirty four yards during those six weeks. It's

0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:15.399
<v Speaker 1>it's just this simple. The Ravens defense is awesome. Now

0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:18.040
<v Speaker 1>let's go to the other side and let's begin with

0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:20.960
<v Speaker 1>the fantastic storyline of Lamar Jackson, who will talk about

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:22.840
<v Speaker 1>in a little more detail later on in this show.

0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:27.720
<v Speaker 1>It is a testament to Lamar Jackson's ungodly fantasy prowess

0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:29.840
<v Speaker 1>that he is still getting an A grade from me.

0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:35.560
<v Speaker 1>In the face of all of this. The ranked number

0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:38.159
<v Speaker 1>one against the pass. They ranked number three in passing

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:43.080
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns allowed. Lamar Jackson loves his tight ends. The Niners

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:46.000
<v Speaker 1>ranked number one in tight end yards allowed. They've given

0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:50.879
<v Speaker 1>up one tight end touchdown since Week two. Now, who cares?

0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Your one angle is San Francisco has allowed to fifty

0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:59.399
<v Speaker 1>yard rushing performances in the last three weeks, and also

0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Brian him who cares? Who cares Lamar Jackson? Then the

0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:06.040
<v Speaker 1>rules also apply. I mean, the Patriots are great defense

0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:13.480
<v Speaker 1>and Lamar touchdowns and absolutely so I still have an

0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:16.080
<v Speaker 1>A grade on Lamar Jackson. Mark Ingram also gets an

0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:18.760
<v Speaker 1>A grade. Since his week gate by, he's averaging total

0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 1>yards and one point three touchdowns per game despite getting

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:25.160
<v Speaker 1>fifteen touches per game, and since Week eight, opposing lead

0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 1>backs of average a hundred sixteen total yards and almost

0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:30.280
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown per game against the forty nine. So the

0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:33.080
<v Speaker 1>fot Nanders pass defense has remained very stout. The run

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:35.840
<v Speaker 1>defense has been has been a little softer lately, so

0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I think mark Ingram, who's mostly performed in every game

0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:42.040
<v Speaker 1>like all year, stays as an A grade a couple

0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:44.560
<v Speaker 1>other guys. I want to mention Mark Andrews. It gets

0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:47.640
<v Speaker 1>a B grade here. Andrews has scored three times over

0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the past three weeks, but it's only registered two catches

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:52.560
<v Speaker 1>in three of the last five, and that's always kind

0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:55.199
<v Speaker 1>of the issue for him is volume because Lamar Jackson

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:57.040
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't pass that much, and then when he does,

0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:00.600
<v Speaker 1>he passes to three different tight ends and is set receivers.

0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:03.679
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco is arguably the top tight end defense in

0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:06.159
<v Speaker 1>the league, as I mentioned outlined earlier, so Andrews just

0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:09.200
<v Speaker 1>gets a B grade here. Marcus Brown scored twice last week,

0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 1>but this is a far tougher matchup. No wide receivers

0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:15.080
<v Speaker 1>topped eighty eight yards against San Francisco since all the

0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:19.440
<v Speaker 1>way back in Week two. Brown spends his time running

0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:21.520
<v Speaker 1>from the slot or right side of the field. That

0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:25.840
<v Speaker 1>gives him brutal matchups with quick Kawan Williams and Richard Sherman.

0:26:25.960 --> 0:26:29.000
<v Speaker 1>So just to see great on Marcus Brown in this game,

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:33.159
<v Speaker 1>and that wraps up a tricky but fascinating game to

0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 1>watch on Sunday morning. Let's go to our next matchup,

0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:40.440
<v Speaker 1>which is Philadelphia taking on Miami. Scott for the Eagles,

0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:44.080
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like they will maybe get all Sean Jeffrey

0:26:44.119 --> 0:26:47.920
<v Speaker 1>and Nelson Agilar back, and it's against Miami, so there's

0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:50.199
<v Speaker 1>a lot of temptation to play those guys. What do

0:26:50.240 --> 0:26:53.840
<v Speaker 1>you think I'm I'm not playing. I don't trust the

0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:57.359
<v Speaker 1>hill catch all the balls again sent his way. Nelson

0:26:57.359 --> 0:27:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Aglar drops more balls in a Hernia specialist. And also

0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:03.360
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't topped forty two yards or scored with al

0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Shan on the field this year, So no thanks when

0:27:07.760 --> 0:27:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Alshon Jeffrey doesn't score. He's been pretty mediocre this year.

0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Um it's it would be real nice if he could

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:17.520
<v Speaker 1>play a team allowing the most touchdowns to watch receivers

0:27:17.520 --> 0:27:20.199
<v Speaker 1>this year. That would be convenient, including five in just

0:27:20.240 --> 0:27:22.960
<v Speaker 1>the last two games in Miami. So I am giving

0:27:23.000 --> 0:27:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey a B a B grade, as as Wentz, his

0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:29.600
<v Speaker 1>main guy, who I'm giving a soft Can I do that?

0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Given A just keep trying. I'm giving an A grade.

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Amongst starting quarterbacks, only Sam Donald in his first game

0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:41.200
<v Speaker 1>back from mono and Brian Hoyer failed to toss multiple

0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:44.359
<v Speaker 1>touchdown passes against the Dolphins. So I think it's in

0:27:44.520 --> 0:27:47.920
<v Speaker 1>the cards for Wentz. Who's now got Jeffrey and Aglar back,

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's looked bad for Wentz for a few weeks,

0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:54.240
<v Speaker 1>but he's been playing without offensive lineman, without wide receivers,

0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and here comes to Dolphins. Man. I really hope he

0:27:57.080 --> 0:27:59.160
<v Speaker 1>bounces back now. And when he had Jeffrey and al

0:27:59.359 --> 0:28:02.399
<v Speaker 1>early in the season, me at fourth straight multiple touchdown games.

0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:05.000
<v Speaker 1>So Earth's gets an A grade and got it gets

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 1>a C grade because that offense really does funnel through

0:28:07.800 --> 0:28:10.640
<v Speaker 1>the tight end. I think there's enough work for everyone

0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 1>against the Dolphins, though, Uh Miami's okay against the tight ends.

0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:18.040
<v Speaker 1>They're they're pretty decent against tight ends, but since week ends,

0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:20.880
<v Speaker 1>since Week one, no tight end his top sixty yards

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:24.119
<v Speaker 1>against them. But it's zach Ertz and Dallas Goddard who

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 1>are getting like twenty targets a game right now. Um uh,

0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:31.919
<v Speaker 1>Earth's is the main target. He's top ninety yards in

0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:34.399
<v Speaker 1>three straight so that's why he gets the air. Doesn't

0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 1>go Dallas Goddard, Oh yeah, absolutely absolutely, or it has

0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:41.880
<v Speaker 1>been limited, but I think he does go on On

0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the other side, the only one I can start is

0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:48.200
<v Speaker 1>is Davante Parker, and he's been solid, very solid for

0:28:48.280 --> 0:28:51.240
<v Speaker 1>quite quite a while. A lot of people aren't realizing

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:53.880
<v Speaker 1>he's top fifty yards in all but two games this year.

0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:56.800
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty good. He has at least five grabs in

0:28:56.880 --> 0:28:59.160
<v Speaker 1>five of the last six, has ten or more targets

0:28:59.200 --> 0:29:03.000
<v Speaker 1>in three straight. Uh. He's scored in half of his

0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:05.800
<v Speaker 1>last eight games, four of his last eight games. DeVante Parker.

0:29:06.080 --> 0:29:08.640
<v Speaker 1>If we said here's the receiver's DeVante Parker has been

0:29:08.680 --> 0:29:11.080
<v Speaker 1>better than for the last like six weeks or eight

0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:15.040
<v Speaker 1>two months, it would be like Julio Jones and Odell Beckham,

0:29:15.080 --> 0:29:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, it'd be crazy. I'm going to bet he's

0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:19.760
<v Speaker 1>scored more Fantasy points and say Karon Barkley in the

0:29:19.800 --> 0:29:24.960
<v Speaker 1>last month. Yeah, I bet that's true. Dawnt, Yeah, do that.

0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:28.800
<v Speaker 1>But that's it okay for them. In that event, Let's

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:31.600
<v Speaker 1>start thinking about next segment already, when we're gonna talk

0:29:31.640 --> 0:29:34.080
<v Speaker 1>about Tampa Bay taking on Jacksonville and whether or not

0:29:34.160 --> 0:29:37.280
<v Speaker 1>this is the big Ronald Jones breakout game. Did you

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:41.720
<v Speaker 1>know fanball has daily fantasy auctions. It is true. We

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:44.920
<v Speaker 1>love auctioning in the preseason. You will love auctioning in

0:29:45.000 --> 0:29:48.960
<v Speaker 1>real time against live opponents on fanball. Give that a try.

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:56.680
<v Speaker 1>up next, Fantasy Football Weekly. As I mentioned Tampa Bay Jacksonville.

0:29:56.720 --> 0:29:59.280
<v Speaker 1>We'll tell you about Ronald Jones and whether or not

0:29:59.320 --> 0:30:01.440
<v Speaker 1>this is shaping it's more of a Godwin blow up

0:30:01.480 --> 0:30:03.800
<v Speaker 1>game or the Evans blow up game. They never happened

0:30:03.800 --> 0:30:06.080
<v Speaker 1>in the same game. It's one or the other. We'll

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:08.160
<v Speaker 1>try to decipher that when we come back to Fantasy

0:30:08.160 --> 0:30:31.239
<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly. You are listening to Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm

0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Paul Charchi and my co host are Scott Fish and

0:30:33.680 --> 0:30:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Brian Johnson from fanball dot Com. You can hear us

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:37.920
<v Speaker 1>over the year and many stations around the country. In fact,

0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:40.600
<v Speaker 1>that might be you right now. And this show is

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:44.120
<v Speaker 1>also a podcast available every Friday at all major podcasting platforms,

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:47.400
<v Speaker 1>including the number one destination for podcasts, the I Heart

0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Radio app. I'm very happy to say Tampa Bay takes

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:56.880
<v Speaker 1>on Jacksonville's I alluded two moments ago Brian Jacksonville's run

0:30:56.880 --> 0:31:01.840
<v Speaker 1>defense is hot, garbage edge and Ronald Jones is getting

0:31:01.880 --> 0:31:05.680
<v Speaker 1>all the work. Is this the breakout game for Ronald Jones?

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I think, so I gotta be on him. Uh and

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I do. I'll get give Peyton Barber received because you

0:31:12.080 --> 0:31:14.840
<v Speaker 1>said that run defense for Jacksonville has gone entirely south.

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:16.720
<v Speaker 1>But I do like Jones a whole lot more. Over

0:31:16.720 --> 0:31:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the last four games, he has forty five carries to

0:31:19.160 --> 0:31:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Barbers twenty six. Jones has seventeen targets to Barber's for

0:31:23.320 --> 0:31:26.400
<v Speaker 1>he's taken the lead role in that backfield. But again,

0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:29.880
<v Speaker 1>this is a great matchup for both. Over the Jaguars

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:34.600
<v Speaker 1>last three games, opponing opposing running backs have totaled five

0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:37.719
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eighty four rushing yards in three five rushing

0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:42.000
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns and three games. That has produced six individual running

0:31:42.040 --> 0:31:45.080
<v Speaker 1>backs who are top twenty four worth almost any fantasy

0:31:45.080 --> 0:31:48.640
<v Speaker 1>format in three games. So they're both very startable, but

0:31:48.680 --> 0:31:50.280
<v Speaker 1>you gotta like Jones a lot more in this one.

0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Peyton barr has been dropped in many leagues, and understandably

0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:55.960
<v Speaker 1>given the season he's had and especially lately, He's a

0:31:55.960 --> 0:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>guy you could pick up and start in a pinch

0:31:57.760 --> 0:32:00.520
<v Speaker 1>this way in deeper leagues for sure, definitely. And you

0:32:00.560 --> 0:32:03.960
<v Speaker 1>alluded to the Mike Evans Chris Godwin like Who's who

0:32:04.080 --> 0:32:08.320
<v Speaker 1>um based very alternate, just randomly, like who has the

0:32:08.360 --> 0:32:11.360
<v Speaker 1>big game? And this time it's Mike Evanstern based Mike

0:32:11.400 --> 0:32:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Evanstern based on that, but science also says this is

0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 1>a game for Evans because elite boundary receivers have done

0:32:17.920 --> 0:32:21.440
<v Speaker 1>just fine against A. J. Booyer, the loan standing cornerback

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:25.240
<v Speaker 1>after the Jalen Ramsey trade. Um Courtland Sutton six catches,

0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:27.760
<v Speaker 1>sixty two yards, two touchdowns, d J. Moore had six

0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:31.200
<v Speaker 1>nine one, Michael Thomas eight for eighty nine, DeAndre Hopkins

0:32:31.200 --> 0:32:34.480
<v Speaker 1>eight forty eight one. Even A. J. Brown popped off

0:32:34.480 --> 0:32:37.600
<v Speaker 1>against Jacksonville last week for four five and a touchdown.

0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:40.360
<v Speaker 1>So in a for Mike Evans, just a B for

0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Chris Godwin, though he'll avoid Booyer in the slot, but

0:32:43.480 --> 0:32:45.840
<v Speaker 1>that means he draws the better corner at least for

0:32:45.920 --> 0:32:48.720
<v Speaker 1>this season, in d J. Hayden, who hasn't allowed a

0:32:48.760 --> 0:32:51.440
<v Speaker 1>touchdown in coverage all season long, and he held the

0:32:51.520 --> 0:32:54.760
<v Speaker 1>very comparable Tyler Boyd to five catches for fifty five

0:32:54.800 --> 0:32:58.640
<v Speaker 1>yards on fourteen targets. Just a B for Chris Godwin.

0:32:59.080 --> 0:33:01.840
<v Speaker 1>No Tampa Bay it and is worth mentioning finally, we're

0:33:01.840 --> 0:33:03.920
<v Speaker 1>not even gonna go there, by the way, and I

0:33:04.240 --> 0:33:05.920
<v Speaker 1>was guilty of it. I bought into the O j

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Howard is dead to us, Let's go to Cameron bread narrative.

0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, zero zero catches last week. Sorry, yeah, it's

0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:15.160
<v Speaker 1>he's too much a roller roller coaster, boom bust options.

0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:17.520
<v Speaker 1>So Jameis Winston though not so much, not in a

0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:20.240
<v Speaker 1>level grade just to be just because that run defense

0:33:20.280 --> 0:33:22.479
<v Speaker 1>we mentioned is so bad for Jacksonville. They might funnel

0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:25.120
<v Speaker 1>all of their offense through the run, but in the

0:33:25.120 --> 0:33:27.520
<v Speaker 1>true talent of the team is at the wide receiver position.

0:33:27.560 --> 0:33:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Though for Tampa Bay and the Jaguars have allowed multiple

0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:33.160
<v Speaker 1>passing scores in three of their last four games, but

0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:35.200
<v Speaker 1>the ceiling just isn't as high for Winston in this one.

0:33:35.200 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 1>It feels so just to be over to the Jaguar side.

0:33:37.960 --> 0:33:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Just a B for Leonard four Nette. He's been playing

0:33:40.440 --> 0:33:42.520
<v Speaker 1>great as of late, but the Bucks have basically been

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the worst opponent for running backs when it comes to

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:48.280
<v Speaker 1>fantasy football. Only five running backs have registered double digit

0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:51.760
<v Speaker 1>PPR performances all year against Tampa Bay, but three of

0:33:51.760 --> 0:33:54.240
<v Speaker 1>those backs had big games, and they were Christian McCaffrey,

0:33:54.400 --> 0:33:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Alvin Kamara, and Todd Gurley. Leonard for Nett is certainly

0:33:57.360 --> 0:33:59.840
<v Speaker 1>in that mix of B for him still based on volume,

0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:02.640
<v Speaker 1>but in a for DJ chark Um, even though he's

0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:04.720
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a roller coaster ride as well. Over

0:34:04.720 --> 0:34:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the past five weeks, opposing wide receivers are averaging more

0:34:07.440 --> 0:34:11.080
<v Speaker 1>than sixteen catches, two hundred yards and two whole touchdowns

0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:14.040
<v Speaker 1>per game against Tampa Bay. And needless to say, number

0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:16.480
<v Speaker 1>one receivers have gone berserk, but there's been plenty of

0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:18.080
<v Speaker 1>meat on the bone for the number two. And that's

0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:19.920
<v Speaker 1>why Deeed Westbrook was going to take a chance on

0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:22.359
<v Speaker 1>me wide receiver chart and Nick Foles was might take

0:34:22.360 --> 0:34:25.480
<v Speaker 1>a chance on me quarterback. What about Chris Conley, I said,

0:34:25.520 --> 0:34:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Chris con Oh, Chris Conley, Conley, Chris the Chris Conley,

0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:31.959
<v Speaker 1>Chris Connolly desk over here, And I'm telling you once

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:34.200
<v Speaker 1>again and I and I he didn't have a blow

0:34:34.280 --> 0:34:36.120
<v Speaker 1>up game last week, but at like sixty yards I

0:34:36.120 --> 0:34:38.600
<v Speaker 1>should have mentioned in him. I think he should get

0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:41.960
<v Speaker 1>a C grade in this matchup. Chris Connley, consider it done.

0:34:42.160 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Chris Conley, appreciate that. Let's go to Washington taking on Carolina.

0:34:45.840 --> 0:34:47.439
<v Speaker 1>Not a lot to talk about on the Washington side,

0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 1>although Gary Darius Guys was might take a chance, I

0:34:49.719 --> 0:34:51.239
<v Speaker 1>mean running back, and I love him in this game.

0:34:51.840 --> 0:34:53.880
<v Speaker 1>If Adrian Peterson is active for the game, and I

0:34:53.880 --> 0:34:55.560
<v Speaker 1>think he will be. Um, he's got the knee and

0:34:55.600 --> 0:34:58.759
<v Speaker 1>the ankle injuries and the toe injuries. Um. But the

0:34:58.840 --> 0:35:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Panthers run defenses so bad, as I articulated earlier and

0:35:02.960 --> 0:35:05.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about Darius Guys, that you can start Adrian Peterson

0:35:05.520 --> 0:35:07.959
<v Speaker 1>here too in a pinch. The only other starting grade

0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I've got is Terry McLaurin with a see no touchdowns

0:35:11.120 --> 0:35:14.560
<v Speaker 1>or one hundred yard games since Dwayne Haskins took over.

0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:19.759
<v Speaker 1>By the way, let's talk Dwayne Haskins. The Redskins are

0:35:19.760 --> 0:35:21.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna be burning another first round draft pick on the

0:35:22.040 --> 0:35:25.560
<v Speaker 1>quarterback position in five months, right, I mean it's you know,

0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Dwayne Haskins is not the answer here. He looks to

0:35:28.719 --> 0:35:32.400
<v Speaker 1>me like a backup caliber quarterback to my eyes to

0:35:32.560 --> 0:35:35.560
<v Speaker 1>this point, unless something changes anyway. It could. He's still young,

0:35:35.800 --> 0:35:37.399
<v Speaker 1>but I don't I don't see a lot here. He's

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:40.839
<v Speaker 1>asket case. That's not bad. I might remember that um

0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:44.279
<v Speaker 1>McLaren got twelve targets last week, which was a season high,

0:35:44.320 --> 0:35:46.760
<v Speaker 1>and that part is promising. It's even more promising considering

0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:48.839
<v Speaker 1>that the Panthers have a lot of the second most

0:35:48.920 --> 0:35:51.840
<v Speaker 1>yards and receptions per game to opposing receivers over the

0:35:51.920 --> 0:35:54.520
<v Speaker 1>last five weeks. But he'll see a lot of cornerback

0:35:54.560 --> 0:35:57.600
<v Speaker 1>James Bradbury, who usually travels with the opponent's best wide receiver.

0:35:58.040 --> 0:36:01.799
<v Speaker 1>He's good, but he has also struggled lately, giving up

0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:04.920
<v Speaker 1>his first score of the year last week. And so

0:36:05.000 --> 0:36:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's an automatic shoutout for Terry McLaurin here.

0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:09.479
<v Speaker 1>He's got a chance and he gets a C grade.

0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Carolina. You notice start Christian McCaffrey. We

0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:14.640
<v Speaker 1>want to even expand on that. Let's talk about the

0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:17.760
<v Speaker 1>passing game though. Kyle Allen, their quarterback, gets a C grade.

0:36:18.000 --> 0:36:21.399
<v Speaker 1>Now last week, after every two weeks ago, well, I've

0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:24.560
<v Speaker 1>been back up three weeks ago. Kyle Allen played a

0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:27.319
<v Speaker 1>great game. We were talking about how Kyle Allen looked

0:36:27.360 --> 0:36:29.279
<v Speaker 1>like he was sort of fitting into the mold of

0:36:29.280 --> 0:36:31.839
<v Speaker 1>an NFL starting quarterback. Then two weeks ago, he looked

0:36:31.920 --> 0:36:33.839
<v Speaker 1>terrible and everybody dropped him and he was the worst

0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:36.360
<v Speaker 1>thing that ever happened. Then last week, when nobody in

0:36:36.400 --> 0:36:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the right mind would have started him, he looks great again.

0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:42.080
<v Speaker 1>And gets a very good Saints defense. Now I understand

0:36:42.120 --> 0:36:45.360
<v Speaker 1>he's playing the Redskins by reputation the two when Redskin

0:36:45.440 --> 0:36:48.600
<v Speaker 1>sounds like an easy opportunity for Kyle Allen and this

0:36:48.680 --> 0:36:51.600
<v Speaker 1>passing it, but in reality they've mostly handled their quarterbacks.

0:36:52.160 --> 0:36:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Over Washington's last six games, only one quarterback has generated

0:36:56.160 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 1>a viable fantasy start. The other five average ridged two

0:37:00.920 --> 0:37:05.680
<v Speaker 1>d four passing yards and zero point six passing touchdowns.

0:37:05.719 --> 0:37:09.000
<v Speaker 1>That's it. So Kyle Allen has just got a C

0:37:09.160 --> 0:37:11.720
<v Speaker 1>grade here and d J. Moore just has a B grade.

0:37:11.840 --> 0:37:14.400
<v Speaker 1>He's topped eleven yards per reception and four straight he

0:37:14.440 --> 0:37:18.120
<v Speaker 1>continues to be a down field factor. His matchup those

0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:21.200
<v Speaker 1>is tricky this week. Washington has quietly been a top

0:37:21.280 --> 0:37:24.120
<v Speaker 1>ten defense against opposing receivers in terms of yards and

0:37:24.160 --> 0:37:27.440
<v Speaker 1>receptions and touchdowns allowed over the last five weeks and

0:37:27.520 --> 0:37:30.320
<v Speaker 1>more months. Runs most of his routes on the side

0:37:30.360 --> 0:37:32.919
<v Speaker 1>of the field that Quinton Dunbar is on, and he's

0:37:32.920 --> 0:37:35.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the better young cornerbacks in the league. So

0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:38.920
<v Speaker 1>just to be grade on d J. Moore, Curtis Samuel

0:37:38.960 --> 0:37:40.920
<v Speaker 1>gets a C grade because he's on the other side

0:37:40.920 --> 0:37:44.400
<v Speaker 1>of the field where he gets well, it was Josh Norman.

0:37:44.520 --> 0:37:48.439
<v Speaker 1>Now it's rookie Jimmy Moreland. Now Moreland had his first

0:37:48.560 --> 0:37:52.080
<v Speaker 1>ever start last week. He allowed four of five passes

0:37:52.080 --> 0:37:54.320
<v Speaker 1>in his coverage to be completed, and that's why Curtis

0:37:54.320 --> 0:37:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Samuel is startable here. And lastly, Greg Olsen, averaging more

0:37:58.000 --> 0:38:00.200
<v Speaker 1>than five catches per game over the last four weeks

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:02.640
<v Speaker 1>in Washington, has given up three tight end touchdowns over

0:38:02.680 --> 0:38:05.600
<v Speaker 1>their last two games, so he gets a C grade

0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:08.120
<v Speaker 1>as well. We all need tight ends. We've talked about

0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:10.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fantasy viable tight ends that are on

0:38:10.560 --> 0:38:13.839
<v Speaker 1>the waiver wire so far already this week there's only

0:38:14.320 --> 0:38:18.399
<v Speaker 1>like five truly viable Titans with holding onto all eGain,

0:38:18.560 --> 0:38:21.359
<v Speaker 1>that's probably true. Let's go to our last match of

0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:24.720
<v Speaker 1>this particular segment, which is the New York Jets taking

0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:29.239
<v Speaker 1>on the Cincinnati Bengals. Those people who drafted Levy on

0:38:29.360 --> 0:38:32.239
<v Speaker 1>Bell have been waiting a long long time for a

0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:37.360
<v Speaker 1>big payoff. Scott Fish, I think it's finally coming. Levy

0:38:37.400 --> 0:38:40.480
<v Speaker 1>on Bell a big game here. Yeah, I have him

0:38:40.520 --> 0:38:42.759
<v Speaker 1>with an A grade here. Ten running backs have hit

0:38:42.800 --> 0:38:45.400
<v Speaker 1>the fifteen touch mark against the Bengals, and that's a

0:38:45.480 --> 0:38:50.320
<v Speaker 1>really low bar. For fifteen touches. Those ten backs averaged

0:38:50.360 --> 0:38:54.280
<v Speaker 1>a hundred thirteen yards and scored seven touchdowns. The trend

0:38:54.360 --> 0:38:56.239
<v Speaker 1>is in the right direction as well, as they just

0:38:56.320 --> 0:38:59.440
<v Speaker 1>allowed Josh Jacobs and Benny Snell over a hundred yards

0:38:59.440 --> 0:39:02.080
<v Speaker 1>in back to at games. And Bell also gets you

0:39:02.160 --> 0:39:04.839
<v Speaker 1>that receiving work. He's averaging over twenty touches a game.

0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:07.959
<v Speaker 1>Uh in the passing game. I I already gave Sam

0:39:08.000 --> 0:39:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Donald a with my take on and I'm giving Robbie

0:39:10.480 --> 0:39:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Anderson and a grade here as well. I'm a little

0:39:13.360 --> 0:39:15.959
<v Speaker 1>worried about the Anderson Crowder thing as I dug deeper.

0:39:15.960 --> 0:39:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm still giving Crowder a C. But when those two,

0:39:19.840 --> 0:39:23.000
<v Speaker 1>when one of those two hit thirty five yards receiving,

0:39:24.120 --> 0:39:28.520
<v Speaker 1>the other one doesn't, it's always either or. In fact,

0:39:29.440 --> 0:39:32.000
<v Speaker 1>only once this season have both of them had more

0:39:32.080 --> 0:39:36.040
<v Speaker 1>than eight Fantasy PPR points in the same game. Only once,

0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:39.640
<v Speaker 1>So you're only getting one or the other basically every game.

0:39:40.120 --> 0:39:42.920
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going with Anderson. I'm going with a deep target.

0:39:43.040 --> 0:39:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Three deep target wide receivers against the Bengals in recent

0:39:45.960 --> 0:39:48.359
<v Speaker 1>weeks have topped eighty yards, and two of the three

0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:51.040
<v Speaker 1>scored and Anderson scored in back to back, so I'm

0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:54.120
<v Speaker 1>giving it to him. Crowder generally gets a bunch of

0:39:54.239 --> 0:39:56.719
<v Speaker 1>gets more targets and more receptions, so I'm still giving

0:39:56.760 --> 0:39:59.200
<v Speaker 1>the C grade. Maybe you can hope for an okay day.

0:39:59.760 --> 0:40:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Griffin, I'm giving a B. He scored six touchdowns

0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:06.240
<v Speaker 1>in his last seven games, and he plays of the snaps.

0:40:06.680 --> 0:40:09.080
<v Speaker 1>The Bengals have given up three touchdowns to tight ends

0:40:09.120 --> 0:40:11.360
<v Speaker 1>in the last three weeks, and three tight ends that

0:40:11.400 --> 0:40:14.400
<v Speaker 1>went over fifty yards. Uh, and that's not counting the

0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:18.040
<v Speaker 1>no show from basically from Vance McDonald um. On the

0:40:18.040 --> 0:40:21.040
<v Speaker 1>other side, Andy Dalton was your take on you like

0:40:21.160 --> 0:40:23.640
<v Speaker 1>him this week? I like I like Tyler Boyd because

0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Dalton's back. Boyd averaged over six catches per game, in

0:40:27.280 --> 0:40:30.799
<v Speaker 1>over ten targets per game, and nearly seventy yards per game.

0:40:30.840 --> 0:40:34.280
<v Speaker 1>With Dalton in at quarterback, he only scored once once,

0:40:34.320 --> 0:40:36.960
<v Speaker 1>but he now matches up against a team allowing the

0:40:37.040 --> 0:40:39.960
<v Speaker 1>third most touchdowns to watch receivers in the NFL. Like

0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:43.879
<v Speaker 1>him here, I'm benching effort. I'm sorry, he's top thirty

0:40:43.960 --> 0:40:46.600
<v Speaker 1>yards just once this season. Now, it doesn't even he

0:40:46.640 --> 0:40:50.720
<v Speaker 1>doesn't not even be mentioning. Yeah, let's let's walk past

0:40:50.800 --> 0:40:53.160
<v Speaker 1>that to Jill Mixon, who I think has a bad

0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:56.160
<v Speaker 1>matchup here. I'm giving him a C grade because he's

0:40:56.200 --> 0:40:58.200
<v Speaker 1>probably going to get the volume. But over the last

0:40:58.239 --> 0:41:01.040
<v Speaker 1>five weeks, the Jets having a out a single rushing

0:41:01.080 --> 0:41:04.400
<v Speaker 1>touchdown and only Leo for net was was able to

0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:08.200
<v Speaker 1>top thirty five yards rushing. Jets run defense is elite

0:41:08.520 --> 0:41:11.000
<v Speaker 1>two point six yards per carry over the last five weeks.

0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:14.680
<v Speaker 1>His volume, his fifteen plus touch volume, is what might

0:41:14.719 --> 0:41:17.640
<v Speaker 1>get him that C grade. Otherwise it's it's rough. No,

0:41:17.960 --> 0:41:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I have no problem just having a bench grade. And

0:41:20.600 --> 0:41:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I thought about it. Bell cor running backs are just

0:41:23.400 --> 0:41:26.239
<v Speaker 1>guys that get that many touches. I don't know he needs.

0:41:26.280 --> 0:41:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Like he had a thirty touch game a few weeks

0:41:28.680 --> 0:41:30.680
<v Speaker 1>ago and he did well there. If you told me

0:41:30.760 --> 0:41:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Joe Mixon's get thirty touches, then I'm in. That's probably

0:41:33.840 --> 0:41:35.680
<v Speaker 1>what I would take Meason one in the passing game.

0:41:35.719 --> 0:41:37.520
<v Speaker 1>How can the Bengals not see how good he Isn't

0:41:37.520 --> 0:41:40.400
<v Speaker 1>that well? I answered my question that it's just the

0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:43.319
<v Speaker 1>same team that bench to the league leader in completions

0:41:43.560 --> 0:41:48.360
<v Speaker 1>to go to their untested rookie. David Montgomery scored on

0:41:48.440 --> 0:41:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving Chicago is the easiest running back schedule for the

0:41:53.000 --> 0:41:56.879
<v Speaker 1>rest of the year. Brian, give me your thoughts on

0:41:57.280 --> 0:42:02.040
<v Speaker 1>David Montgomery going forward and whether whether or not you

0:42:02.080 --> 0:42:04.920
<v Speaker 1>think he's going to be fantasy viable the rest of

0:42:04.960 --> 0:42:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the way, given the easy schedule, given the fact that

0:42:08.920 --> 0:42:10.840
<v Speaker 1>we've got a touched on out of him, there's no

0:42:11.000 --> 0:42:13.399
<v Speaker 1>basically you know, no other running back other than Tree

0:42:13.440 --> 0:42:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Colon who gets a couple of a couple of carries

0:42:15.360 --> 0:42:17.600
<v Speaker 1>every now and again. What are your thoughts on David

0:42:17.640 --> 0:42:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Montgomery going forward? Well, off the top of my head,

0:42:21.040 --> 0:42:22.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't have the schedule in front of me, but

0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:26.000
<v Speaker 1>you said it's favorable, banging on the that that they

0:42:26.040 --> 0:42:27.759
<v Speaker 1>cut Mike Davis a long time ago, and not that

0:42:27.800 --> 0:42:30.280
<v Speaker 1>he was ever a factor even though he technically started

0:42:30.280 --> 0:42:32.160
<v Speaker 1>the season for the Bears, took the first snap and

0:42:32.160 --> 0:42:35.640
<v Speaker 1>everyone was panicking the up ticket production. It took a

0:42:35.680 --> 0:42:38.640
<v Speaker 1>dip for Montgomery uh previous weeks, but last week it

0:42:38.719 --> 0:42:41.839
<v Speaker 1>was way up, and based on the favorable schedule, he's

0:42:42.280 --> 0:42:45.719
<v Speaker 1>cannot drop below a flex worthy player, especially when you

0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:49.120
<v Speaker 1>think about teams like the Bengals and who else is

0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:51.719
<v Speaker 1>dead in the water. They're gonna stop trotting out their

0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:53.760
<v Speaker 1>bell cows. I believe, you know, just give some scrubs

0:42:53.760 --> 0:42:57.080
<v Speaker 1>some run. The Bears are still clinging to some playoff life,

0:42:57.120 --> 0:42:59.239
<v Speaker 1>so they'll ride Montgomery. And you know there's a lot

0:42:59.280 --> 0:43:01.120
<v Speaker 1>of tread in those tie because they weren't he was

0:43:01.160 --> 0:43:03.480
<v Speaker 1>getting misused for the most part early on in the year,

0:43:03.719 --> 0:43:06.759
<v Speaker 1>which was basically not getting used whatsoever. So yeah, I'd

0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:10.399
<v Speaker 1>write uh Montgomery to the playoffs with some confidence. I've

0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:14.440
<v Speaker 1>got a troubling statin David Montgomery. Here. Your bottom three

0:43:14.480 --> 0:43:17.719
<v Speaker 1>running backs and yards after contact, yards after contact tells

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:21.520
<v Speaker 1>me a lot about a running back. Bottom Klein Balage

0:43:21.640 --> 0:43:27.520
<v Speaker 1>goes without saying. Second from the bottom, David Johnson, third

0:43:27.560 --> 0:43:32.640
<v Speaker 1>from the bottom, David Montgomery, and it it has. I mean,

0:43:32.719 --> 0:43:39.480
<v Speaker 1>if you if you think about David Montgomery broken tackles, Uh,

0:43:39.000 --> 0:43:42.920
<v Speaker 1>he remember the preseason? What's insane is that was four college?

0:43:42.960 --> 0:43:45.799
<v Speaker 1>I know he was super, he was profoball focused, his

0:43:45.840 --> 0:43:48.720
<v Speaker 1>most elusive running back. Last year they hit a little

0:43:48.760 --> 0:43:51.120
<v Speaker 1>harder than the NFL. They just a little little faster,

0:43:51.560 --> 0:43:54.600
<v Speaker 1>a little faster, a little harder. It's just it's not

0:43:54.680 --> 0:43:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the same. It isn't the same. Um, when do we

0:43:57.880 --> 0:44:01.359
<v Speaker 1>come back. Let's answer three tough questions together. Why don't

0:44:01.400 --> 0:44:05.160
<v Speaker 1>we me you the panel of experts. Let's well, I

0:44:05.239 --> 0:44:09.160
<v Speaker 1>will dole out three mind bending questions. You try to

0:44:09.160 --> 0:44:17.279
<v Speaker 1>go three and oh on Fantasy Football Weekly. Don't you

0:44:18.120 --> 0:44:45.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know? It's Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm all charge in

0:44:45.520 --> 0:44:47.840
<v Speaker 1>for fambile dot com. My co hosts are Scott Fish

0:44:47.960 --> 0:44:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and Brian Johnson. Now, let's roll up our sleeves with

0:44:52.960 --> 0:44:55.560
<v Speaker 1>three tough questions. Guys, listeners who encourage you to play along,

0:44:55.600 --> 0:44:58.920
<v Speaker 1>try to go to me a question number one? I

0:44:58.960 --> 0:45:02.839
<v Speaker 1>got the wrong cheat and paper. Here we go. Let's

0:45:03.560 --> 0:45:07.719
<v Speaker 1>question number one. Is Rashad Penny going to be this

0:45:07.800 --> 0:45:11.320
<v Speaker 1>year's Ron Dane? A player who out of nowhere posts

0:45:11.360 --> 0:45:15.200
<v Speaker 1>a monster playoff run, guiding his owners to a championship?

0:45:15.560 --> 0:45:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Brian Well, most playoffs start Week fourteen, so I'll exclude

0:45:19.760 --> 0:45:22.080
<v Speaker 1>the week this week's match up with Minnesota, which is

0:45:22.160 --> 0:45:24.359
<v Speaker 1>very tough for Seattle running backs, and looking forward from

0:45:24.400 --> 0:45:27.440
<v Speaker 1>week fourteen. Weeks fourteen through sixteen, it's at the Rams

0:45:27.520 --> 0:45:30.160
<v Speaker 1>at Panthers and then the Cardinals at home. I talked

0:45:30.200 --> 0:45:33.000
<v Speaker 1>about the Rams in the first segment. Only three running

0:45:33.040 --> 0:45:35.480
<v Speaker 1>backs have topped one hundred rushing yards against them all season,

0:45:35.480 --> 0:45:37.759
<v Speaker 1>but one of them was Chris Carson, and by the way,

0:45:37.760 --> 0:45:39.480
<v Speaker 1>has been fumbling a lot. And that's the reason we're

0:45:39.480 --> 0:45:42.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about Rashad Penny right now, Um. And then at

0:45:42.960 --> 0:45:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Carolina week fifteen primo matchup there and Arizona also very

0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:52.560
<v Speaker 1>soft against the run, unlike years past. Now, Rashad Penny

0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:56.080
<v Speaker 1>is not proven to not piece beast off because fourteen

0:45:56.160 --> 0:45:58.800
<v Speaker 1>carries last week was his career high. He had double

0:45:58.920 --> 0:46:02.240
<v Speaker 1>digit carries just three other times in his entire short

0:46:02.360 --> 0:46:05.879
<v Speaker 1>two year career. I'm not convinced he is of bell

0:46:06.000 --> 0:46:10.279
<v Speaker 1>cow bell cow caliber, bell cow cow, ian bell and

0:46:10.400 --> 0:46:14.839
<v Speaker 1>cow caliber. Okay, now, brown cow bell cow Um. Chris

0:46:14.880 --> 0:46:16.759
<v Speaker 1>Carson is outside of the phone balls, and he's still

0:46:17.040 --> 0:46:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a better running back. So I just don't see the

0:46:19.080 --> 0:46:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Seahawks riding Penny like a bell cow, even in this

0:46:22.600 --> 0:46:25.000
<v Speaker 1>favorable schedule. So I'm gonna say, no, he's not this

0:46:25.120 --> 0:46:28.840
<v Speaker 1>year's roun Dame, all right, Scott, I think it's possible.

0:46:28.880 --> 0:46:31.480
<v Speaker 1>It happens every year. We've mentioned this on shows before.

0:46:31.520 --> 0:46:35.399
<v Speaker 1>It happened with Tim high Tower, it happened with as

0:46:35.400 --> 0:46:39.080
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned, Ron Dane and c J. Anderson last year.

0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:43.880
<v Speaker 1>If Carson's fumbles continues, maybe the Rams in Week fourteen.

0:46:44.400 --> 0:46:46.560
<v Speaker 1>They have allowed a hun six toll yards per game

0:46:46.640 --> 0:46:48.840
<v Speaker 1>five touchdowns to run backs for the last three weeks.

0:46:49.040 --> 0:46:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Panthers you you mentioned earlier, and they're terrible against Cardinals

0:46:54.080 --> 0:46:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Week sixteen. They're allowing a ton of receiving gamework to

0:46:57.360 --> 0:47:01.080
<v Speaker 1>running backs and Penny's good in that area as possible. Weirdly,

0:47:01.120 --> 0:47:02.880
<v Speaker 1>early in the season, before the season, I thought it

0:47:02.880 --> 0:47:05.120
<v Speaker 1>was Jordan Wilkins. I thought Jordan Wilkins was going to

0:47:05.160 --> 0:47:08.280
<v Speaker 1>be the guy to take over from mc layton the season, jury, injury, whatever.

0:47:08.680 --> 0:47:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Now it's looking maybe it's Jonathan Williams. So I think

0:47:11.520 --> 0:47:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Penny's a viable candid. I think Jonathan I'm gonna go with, yes,

0:47:17.960 --> 0:47:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Penny can be that guy. The year was two thousand six.

0:47:22.000 --> 0:47:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Ron Dane, a stone cold bust with the Giants and

0:47:26.440 --> 0:47:30.919
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos, finds himself on the Texans. The Texans need

0:47:31.000 --> 0:47:33.880
<v Speaker 1>him early in the season, and he starts three games

0:47:33.920 --> 0:47:37.360
<v Speaker 1>for the Texans and he's awful, and he gets benched

0:47:37.719 --> 0:47:45.319
<v Speaker 1>for guys like Wally Lundie and Jamille Cook. Then in

0:47:45.400 --> 0:47:49.799
<v Speaker 1>Week twelve, Ron Dane gets another chance. He pounds the

0:47:49.880 --> 0:47:53.279
<v Speaker 1>Raiders fore yards, almost all of it in the second half.

0:47:54.360 --> 0:47:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Some Wise, fantasy owners pick him up Week thirteen. Why

0:47:59.040 --> 0:48:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that's this very week of two thousand six yards of pounding.

0:48:03.280 --> 0:48:06.759
<v Speaker 1>That seems a little excessive that in week thirteen as

0:48:06.800 --> 0:48:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the starter, he wasn't even the starter that game. Uh.

0:48:10.239 --> 0:48:13.479
<v Speaker 1>Week thirteen, he's the starter nine nine yards and two

0:48:13.520 --> 0:48:16.719
<v Speaker 1>scores for Ron Dane, powering his owners into the playoffs.

0:48:17.080 --> 0:48:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Then Week fourteen, one hundred one yards and a touchdown

0:48:22.080 --> 0:48:27.040
<v Speaker 1>for Ron Dane. That Week fifteen, the playoff bomb drops

0:48:27.520 --> 0:48:30.919
<v Speaker 1>one hundred fifty eight yards and two scores from Ron

0:48:31.000 --> 0:48:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Dane in the playoffs of two thousand six now week sixteen.

0:48:35.920 --> 0:48:39.920
<v Speaker 1>As it turns out, as a little reminder here, um,

0:48:39.960 --> 0:48:44.719
<v Speaker 1>he actually injured his ankle in pregame warmups and that

0:48:44.800 --> 0:48:47.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't end up playing in that game. Yeah, which you

0:48:47.520 --> 0:48:50.080
<v Speaker 1>don't hear. That happened very often. And that was basically

0:48:50.080 --> 0:48:51.799
<v Speaker 1>the end of it for Ron Dane for career. He

0:48:51.840 --> 0:48:54.160
<v Speaker 1>only played parts of one more season and then that

0:48:54.239 --> 0:48:56.360
<v Speaker 1>was it. But that was the run for Ron Daane.

0:48:56.920 --> 0:48:59.480
<v Speaker 1>The Seahawks usually used one workhorse and and you know,

0:48:59.520 --> 0:49:02.280
<v Speaker 1>but not a ways last season we saw Mike Davis

0:49:02.320 --> 0:49:05.239
<v Speaker 1>get a hundred twelve carries, Rashad Penny got eighty five.

0:49:05.280 --> 0:49:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Together they got what Carson had a very close to

0:49:07.360 --> 0:49:11.520
<v Speaker 1>what Carson had. They can use, they can use multiple backs,

0:49:11.840 --> 0:49:14.160
<v Speaker 1>and together with the fact that Carson has been a

0:49:14.239 --> 0:49:17.680
<v Speaker 1>successful workhorse there, I think he's too good to be

0:49:17.760 --> 0:49:20.640
<v Speaker 1>kicked to the curb completely, which is what would have

0:49:20.680 --> 0:49:23.480
<v Speaker 1>to happen for Rashad Penny to go Ron Dane. The

0:49:23.520 --> 0:49:28.320
<v Speaker 1>correct answer is no. Tough question number two, Should Matt

0:49:28.440 --> 0:49:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Ryan's owners just drop him out? Right? Scott, No, No,

0:49:33.280 --> 0:49:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't think so. I mean early in

0:49:36.600 --> 0:49:39.279
<v Speaker 1>the season. He started the year with sixth straight three

0:49:39.680 --> 0:49:43.080
<v Speaker 1>yard games. Um might have been seven straight sixth straight

0:49:43.200 --> 0:49:45.759
<v Speaker 1>and uh in five of those he had multiple touchdowns

0:49:46.200 --> 0:49:48.520
<v Speaker 1>at the time he got injured. Much like you mentioned

0:49:48.520 --> 0:49:50.960
<v Speaker 1>with Dalton earlier, he was leading the NFL and completions

0:49:51.000 --> 0:49:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and attempts when he got injured. Um, he had a

0:49:54.880 --> 0:49:57.840
<v Speaker 1>little trouble there. When he got back in Atlanta's defense

0:49:58.080 --> 0:50:00.560
<v Speaker 1>like started to step up, but Atlanta's de defenses back

0:50:00.600 --> 0:50:04.320
<v Speaker 1>to being Atlanta's defense over last week or still and uh,

0:50:04.520 --> 0:50:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Matt Ryan over the last couple of weeks. Those attempts

0:50:06.760 --> 0:50:09.799
<v Speaker 1>are back up forty six two weeks ago, fifty this last, this,

0:50:10.040 --> 0:50:12.960
<v Speaker 1>just yesterday. I think he's gonna get that. He was

0:50:13.000 --> 0:50:15.120
<v Speaker 1>averaging forty three attempts per game when he was leaving

0:50:15.160 --> 0:50:17.520
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. I think those attempts are gonna stay in

0:50:17.560 --> 0:50:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the fifty range. I think he's going to need to throw,

0:50:20.000 --> 0:50:21.760
<v Speaker 1>and I think he's got a lot of more multiple

0:50:21.760 --> 0:50:24.439
<v Speaker 1>touchdown games coming coming up the stretch. Al Right, Brian,

0:50:24.440 --> 0:50:28.160
<v Speaker 1>should Matt Ryan be dropped? I'm gonna drop Matt Ryan

0:50:28.160 --> 0:50:30.680
<v Speaker 1>in one quarterback leagues, um, starting next week. He's got

0:50:30.680 --> 0:50:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Caroline at home, then at San Francisco, and then Jacksonville

0:50:33.520 --> 0:50:37.279
<v Speaker 1>at home. Starting with Carolina next week. Yeah, Carolina. That

0:50:37.440 --> 0:50:39.840
<v Speaker 1>run defense is brutal. We've talked about brutal in a

0:50:39.880 --> 0:50:43.040
<v Speaker 1>bad way. And Ryan had three eleven and one in

0:50:43.080 --> 0:50:46.080
<v Speaker 1>the first meeting between the Falcons and the Panthers. Respectable,

0:50:46.400 --> 0:50:49.000
<v Speaker 1>but he had Austin Hooper and a healthy Julio Jones.

0:50:49.040 --> 0:50:51.239
<v Speaker 1>Those two are not guaranteed to be healthy next week.

0:50:51.520 --> 0:50:54.480
<v Speaker 1>And then at San fran and week fifteen, that's so

0:50:54.680 --> 0:50:57.080
<v Speaker 1>an awful matchup. I'm like, we're not even getting to

0:50:57.120 --> 0:50:59.880
<v Speaker 1>weeks sixteen with Matt Ryany's re quarterback with those two

0:51:00.239 --> 0:51:03.879
<v Speaker 1>upcoming opponents. So Fish made some great points, but I'm

0:51:03.880 --> 0:51:05.840
<v Speaker 1>still it's not an easy decision, But I am dropping

0:51:05.840 --> 0:51:08.520
<v Speaker 1>that Ryan. You know it's in sheer volume. That's all

0:51:08.680 --> 0:51:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Ryan really has going for miss volume. Now the running

0:51:11.560 --> 0:51:13.160
<v Speaker 1>game has been so bad they have no choice but

0:51:13.239 --> 0:51:16.239
<v Speaker 1>to pass. But to the points that we've made here,

0:51:16.280 --> 0:51:19.160
<v Speaker 1>two of the next three teams up for the Falcons

0:51:19.200 --> 0:51:22.200
<v Speaker 1>are horrible run defenses. And if if Ryan's not passing

0:51:22.320 --> 0:51:26.200
<v Speaker 1>forty eight times he threw fifty on Thanksgiving Night, then

0:51:26.280 --> 0:51:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what I don't know what kind of

0:51:27.680 --> 0:51:29.600
<v Speaker 1>value that he brings. I think you can find other

0:51:29.640 --> 0:51:33.719
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks with a better schedule, more reliable than Matt Ryan.

0:51:33.840 --> 0:51:35.359
<v Speaker 1>I think it's okay to drop him, like you can

0:51:35.400 --> 0:51:41.720
<v Speaker 1>find other help. Tough question number three, Should Lamar Jackson

0:51:41.800 --> 0:51:44.239
<v Speaker 1>be the first player we could? We're codifying a conversation

0:51:44.280 --> 0:51:46.359
<v Speaker 1>from last week. By the way, we threw this out

0:51:46.400 --> 0:51:49.719
<v Speaker 1>casually last week, should Lamar Jackson? And then, by the

0:51:49.719 --> 0:51:53.560
<v Speaker 1>way went berserk after last week's show, should Lamar Jackson

0:51:53.600 --> 0:51:56.440
<v Speaker 1>be the first player taken in fantasy drafts next year?

0:51:57.080 --> 0:51:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to preface this real quick with a revenge

0:51:59.440 --> 0:52:03.359
<v Speaker 1>angle with Jacks. We should never overlook the revenge duck

0:52:04.000 --> 0:52:06.319
<v Speaker 1>making his first appearance of the show. So those who

0:52:06.320 --> 0:52:09.920
<v Speaker 1>don't remember in the draft it was the um, it

0:52:09.920 --> 0:52:15.040
<v Speaker 1>will be in this word of the Browns, Bills, Uh No, Browns, Jets,

0:52:15.800 --> 0:52:20.399
<v Speaker 1>Bills and Dolphins who passed on Lamar Jackson in favor

0:52:20.400 --> 0:52:25.600
<v Speaker 1>of another quarterback, favor another carback. So L Jacks and

0:52:26.440 --> 0:52:29.440
<v Speaker 1>we will back to that. So he's played the Browns

0:52:29.440 --> 0:52:32.400
<v Speaker 1>twice and the Dolphins since then. In those three games,

0:52:32.400 --> 0:52:35.239
<v Speaker 1>he has eight passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns. And

0:52:35.320 --> 0:52:37.839
<v Speaker 1>he plays the Browns twice every year. This wait untill

0:52:37.880 --> 0:52:40.360
<v Speaker 1>he plays the Bills and the Jets too. But anyway,

0:52:40.680 --> 0:52:44.000
<v Speaker 1>L Jacks is breaking fantasy football right now. He is

0:52:44.040 --> 0:52:46.960
<v Speaker 1>tied for the league lead in passing touchdowns with twenty four.

0:52:47.200 --> 0:52:49.800
<v Speaker 1>The passing yardage is not there, but he is easily

0:52:49.840 --> 0:52:52.560
<v Speaker 1>inside the top ten quarterbacks right now. And when it

0:52:52.600 --> 0:52:55.960
<v Speaker 1>comes to running the ball at fifty plus yards and

0:52:55.960 --> 0:52:59.120
<v Speaker 1>six rushing touchdowns, he's easily a top ten running back.

0:52:59.520 --> 0:53:03.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm standalone running numbers. So last week I said no

0:53:03.320 --> 0:53:07.600
<v Speaker 1>way first overall, first round maybe, but there's so much uncertainty.

0:53:07.600 --> 0:53:10.600
<v Speaker 1>It's only Christian McCaffrey, right, that's the one guy you contemplate.

0:53:10.840 --> 0:53:13.080
<v Speaker 1>But he's a running back, and you know what, I'll

0:53:13.080 --> 0:53:15.080
<v Speaker 1>get those guys later in the draft. I'm not gonna

0:53:15.080 --> 0:53:17.600
<v Speaker 1>get Lamar Jackson later in the draft. It's not Kyler Murray,

0:53:17.600 --> 0:53:21.080
<v Speaker 1>it's not Josh Allen. I'm going one one L Jacks.

0:53:21.280 --> 0:53:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I'm gonna be alone him. This is

0:53:23.600 --> 0:53:25.839
<v Speaker 1>the this is the vic argument from like two thousand four,

0:53:25.960 --> 0:53:30.359
<v Speaker 1>two five, only he's giving more rushing yards and he's

0:53:30.360 --> 0:53:32.680
<v Speaker 1>probably gonna add with more touching rushing touch Johns and

0:53:32.719 --> 0:53:36.920
<v Speaker 1>he's already got more passing yards. I think it's very viable.

0:53:37.040 --> 0:53:39.759
<v Speaker 1>I I had some of the stuff Brian said. I

0:53:39.800 --> 0:53:41.359
<v Speaker 1>was going to mention how this is a little bit

0:53:41.400 --> 0:53:44.400
<v Speaker 1>of a down year for quarterback scoring and in comparison

0:53:44.400 --> 0:53:48.759
<v Speaker 1>to historically. Yeah so so L Jackson is that far

0:53:48.840 --> 0:53:51.040
<v Speaker 1>above everybody this year, So it makes it look even

0:53:51.040 --> 0:53:55.560
<v Speaker 1>more absurd. But also my last little point is fantasy

0:53:55.600 --> 0:53:58.520
<v Speaker 1>is supposed to be fun, and honestly, there's there's nothing

0:53:58.520 --> 0:54:01.200
<v Speaker 1>more fun than having Lamar jack sin or as I

0:54:01.200 --> 0:54:03.600
<v Speaker 1>think you should start being called insta Win. I believe

0:54:03.840 --> 0:54:06.600
<v Speaker 1>it's called him that before UH start calling him that

0:54:06.680 --> 0:54:08.759
<v Speaker 1>because it's just fun to have him on your team.

0:54:08.840 --> 0:54:13.640
<v Speaker 1>So with everything Brian said and that, yes, why not,

0:54:13.800 --> 0:54:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm always nervous about taking running backs early anyway, you

0:54:16.360 --> 0:54:19.160
<v Speaker 1>guys know what I feel about that. Remember, going into

0:54:19.200 --> 0:54:22.120
<v Speaker 1>this last draft, there were four guys that were the

0:54:22.360 --> 0:54:26.640
<v Speaker 1>lock four running backs. Three of the four have disappointed

0:54:26.680 --> 0:54:30.239
<v Speaker 1>and pretty significantly this year. Only Christian McCaffrey has lived

0:54:30.320 --> 0:54:32.560
<v Speaker 1>up to the billing. And mostly Christian McCaffrey was not

0:54:32.600 --> 0:54:35.440
<v Speaker 1>being the first player taken. It was mostly Sae Kwon Barkley,

0:54:35.760 --> 0:54:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Robin Kamara or Ezekiel Elliott. Um, you guys already hit

0:54:39.600 --> 0:54:41.000
<v Speaker 1>on a lot of my talking points, but I want

0:54:41.000 --> 0:54:43.319
<v Speaker 1>to mention one thing that's different compared to him and

0:54:43.520 --> 0:54:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Mike Vick or Cam Newton or for old timers, Cordell Stewart.

0:54:48.680 --> 0:54:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing. Jackson gets designed runs. These other quarterbacks

0:54:54.360 --> 0:54:59.879
<v Speaker 1>were mostly scrambling, and they would scramble for a se

0:55:00.000 --> 0:55:02.400
<v Speaker 1>in touchdown season or a six touchdown season or an

0:55:02.400 --> 0:55:05.560
<v Speaker 1>eight touchdown rushing season right and then the next year,

0:55:05.640 --> 0:55:09.239
<v Speaker 1>because these weren't designed runs, they would have two touchdowns

0:55:09.320 --> 0:55:11.799
<v Speaker 1>on the ground or three touchdowns on the ground, and

0:55:11.920 --> 0:55:17.200
<v Speaker 1>that destroy their fantasy value. That's not the case for

0:55:17.280 --> 0:55:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Jackson. It's the designed the fact that he's running

0:55:20.400 --> 0:55:25.240
<v Speaker 1>designed runs all the time that makes him impervious virtually

0:55:25.520 --> 0:55:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to these bad games because of a flags don't do

0:55:28.440 --> 0:55:30.600
<v Speaker 1>what the arm does, and he doesn't have to get

0:55:30.600 --> 0:55:33.360
<v Speaker 1>it by happenstance, by you know, getting into trouble and

0:55:33.360 --> 0:55:36.080
<v Speaker 1>then scrambling and then maybe or maybe not scoring touchdowns.

0:55:36.120 --> 0:55:38.799
<v Speaker 1>And his past catchers aren't adapting because they're all coming

0:55:38.880 --> 0:55:41.480
<v Speaker 1>up together, like his tight ends and wide receivers are

0:55:41.520 --> 0:55:44.000
<v Speaker 1>all drafted within the last two to three years. It's

0:55:44.040 --> 0:55:46.920
<v Speaker 1>like this whole thing is just yeah, it's it's it's

0:55:46.960 --> 0:55:48.759
<v Speaker 1>scary to watch in a fun way. Oh, it's so

0:55:48.840 --> 0:55:52.120
<v Speaker 1>much fun. Correct answer, Yes, I think. In fact, I

0:55:52.160 --> 0:55:56.880
<v Speaker 1>think there's I think that's gonna be a universal consensus

0:55:57.320 --> 0:56:00.880
<v Speaker 1>almost that Lamar Jackson by next do August will be

0:56:01.239 --> 0:56:04.080
<v Speaker 1>pick one one. Hey, McCaffrey will be pick one too.

0:56:04.320 --> 0:56:06.840
<v Speaker 1>So in an auction, you have to be the first

0:56:06.840 --> 0:56:09.520
<v Speaker 1>one to just max bid to get Lamar Jackson. That's

0:56:09.560 --> 0:56:15.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna never know. I don't know, but that's that's some

0:56:15.120 --> 0:56:16.520
<v Speaker 1>of the stuff that will be fun to talk about

0:56:16.560 --> 0:56:19.759
<v Speaker 1>on this show. Come next August, um let's work in

0:56:19.800 --> 0:56:23.680
<v Speaker 1>one more matchup. Green Bay takes on the New York Giants. Brian,

0:56:24.080 --> 0:56:27.319
<v Speaker 1>for Aaron Rodgers, in his three good games this year,

0:56:27.440 --> 0:56:31.760
<v Speaker 1>he has been quarterback one. In his eight other games,

0:56:31.800 --> 0:56:36.040
<v Speaker 1>he's been quarterback thirty seven. There's only thirty two teams, Brian.

0:56:36.960 --> 0:56:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Is this gonna be the great game for Aaron Rodgers

0:56:39.640 --> 0:56:41.360
<v Speaker 1>or is this going to be the dismal game for

0:56:41.400 --> 0:56:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers. It has to be a great game for

0:56:44.680 --> 0:56:46.719
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers. I gotta give him an A. Considering the

0:56:46.760 --> 0:56:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Giants have conceded seven straight top ten finishes to opposing quarterbacks.

0:56:50.560 --> 0:56:53.600
<v Speaker 1>The only two quarterbacks who failed to total multiple touchdowns

0:56:53.600 --> 0:56:57.160
<v Speaker 1>all season were rookies Dwayne Haskins and Kyler Murray, giving

0:56:57.239 --> 0:56:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Rodgers an A. But the only other past catcher that

0:56:59.360 --> 0:57:01.680
<v Speaker 1>gets an A from me is Dvante Adams. The Giants

0:57:01.680 --> 0:57:04.080
<v Speaker 1>have allowed the third most touchdowns to wide receivers, and

0:57:04.080 --> 0:57:07.120
<v Speaker 1>comparable receivers have blown up against the GM MANA Maarty

0:57:07.160 --> 0:57:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Cooper one oh six and one and then had eighty

0:57:09.760 --> 0:57:12.360
<v Speaker 1>yards and a touchdown in the second game. Mike Evans

0:57:12.440 --> 0:57:16.320
<v Speaker 1>one ninety and three, Kenny Golladay one three and two,

0:57:16.640 --> 0:57:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and Allen Robinson recently one thirty one and one. I'm

0:57:19.040 --> 0:57:22.560
<v Speaker 1>giving Davante the a. He's my number one ranked wide receiver.

0:57:22.680 --> 0:57:25.000
<v Speaker 1>This week will be his first touchdown of the year.

0:57:25.000 --> 0:57:28.240
<v Speaker 1>He'll score on Sunday, I believe. Imagine having him, Mike

0:57:28.280 --> 0:57:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Williams and Robert Woods as your starting three wider resiver

0:57:31.640 --> 0:57:37.200
<v Speaker 1>zero touchdowns receiver. Robert Woods, Ok, you got me there, um,

0:57:37.200 --> 0:57:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Alan Lazard, I was close to you using as my

0:57:39.680 --> 0:57:41.960
<v Speaker 1>take on wide receiver. You can throw a dart with him.

0:57:41.960 --> 0:57:44.480
<v Speaker 1>But I mentioned in the last seven games a Green

0:57:44.560 --> 0:57:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Bay wide receiver has hit five catches once like four.

0:57:48.400 --> 0:57:51.480
<v Speaker 1>It's it's off something like that. But I like the well,

0:57:51.480 --> 0:57:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I like Jamal Williams more out of the running backs.

0:57:53.600 --> 0:57:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Let me get to Aaron Jones. Gonna give him a

0:57:55.200 --> 0:57:57.240
<v Speaker 1>c And by the way, Jimmy Graham dead didn't do

0:57:57.280 --> 0:57:59.720
<v Speaker 1>anything on his birthday. Dead to me, Aaron Jones and

0:57:59.800 --> 0:58:01.920
<v Speaker 1>it match up to Aaron Jones. Well, it wasn't that good,

0:58:01.960 --> 0:58:04.840
<v Speaker 1>but it was his birthday. But Aaron Jones see just

0:58:05.000 --> 0:58:08.360
<v Speaker 1>to see, I'll just say, see's charge, don't worry. Was

0:58:08.400 --> 0:58:11.760
<v Speaker 1>outtouched eighteen to thirteen by Jamal Williams last week hasn't

0:58:11.760 --> 0:58:15.840
<v Speaker 1>topped thirteen carries. He's the Dallas game and week five

0:58:16.320 --> 0:58:20.280
<v Speaker 1>and making matters worse. Outside of the misusage, the Packers

0:58:20.320 --> 0:58:23.240
<v Speaker 1>lost starting right tackle Brian Blaga to a sprain mcl

0:58:23.560 --> 0:58:26.480
<v Speaker 1>and since the Giants acquired defensive tackle Leonard Williams, their

0:58:26.560 --> 0:58:28.919
<v Speaker 1>run defense has been based out. Over the last two games,

0:58:28.920 --> 0:58:31.800
<v Speaker 1>they're barely allowing over two yards per carry. So just

0:58:31.840 --> 0:58:33.600
<v Speaker 1>to see for Jones, but I like Jamal Williams in

0:58:33.600 --> 0:58:35.600
<v Speaker 1>the past game here. I think he outside he could

0:58:35.640 --> 0:58:37.840
<v Speaker 1>be the top receiver on the team this week outside

0:58:37.840 --> 0:58:40.800
<v Speaker 1>of Davanta Adams. Even better than Adams. Now, Aaron Jones

0:58:40.880 --> 0:58:44.960
<v Speaker 1>had that massive blow up receiving game like a month ago.

0:58:45.160 --> 0:58:47.200
<v Speaker 1>It was Arizona. I'm trying, I don't remember who they

0:58:47.240 --> 0:58:50.800
<v Speaker 1>were playing um and then since then they've they don't

0:58:50.800 --> 0:58:53.240
<v Speaker 1>even thrown them anymore. Yea, even he looked like he

0:58:53.320 --> 0:58:55.280
<v Speaker 1>was just he was the second coming of Marshall fall

0:58:55.400 --> 0:58:57.560
<v Speaker 1>out of the backfield and now the package don't even

0:58:57.560 --> 0:59:01.200
<v Speaker 1>throw him, didn't take it was eight targets for even

0:59:01.200 --> 0:59:03.120
<v Speaker 1>though they were getting blown out last week, Green Bay

0:59:03.120 --> 0:59:05.400
<v Speaker 1>in San Francia. Eight targets for Williams, one for Jones.

0:59:05.440 --> 0:59:09.600
<v Speaker 1>It's just grost the floor is te extra better. He

0:59:09.840 --> 0:59:12.680
<v Speaker 1>ended by guillotine league run. I got knocked out of

0:59:12.680 --> 0:59:15.040
<v Speaker 1>my guillotine league last week, and no small part because

0:59:15.040 --> 0:59:18.720
<v Speaker 1>of Aaron Rodgers or Aaron Jones doing nothing brutal. You

0:59:18.720 --> 0:59:20.720
<v Speaker 1>know who has been knocked out of guillotine leagues plenty

0:59:20.760 --> 0:59:22.600
<v Speaker 1>of times as anyone that's had sa Quon Barkley on

0:59:22.640 --> 0:59:25.360
<v Speaker 1>the roster over the last six games, held under seventy

0:59:25.360 --> 0:59:28.120
<v Speaker 1>five yards for six straight now rushing yards that is,

0:59:28.200 --> 0:59:31.600
<v Speaker 1>one touchdown during that span. This has to be a

0:59:31.640 --> 0:59:34.880
<v Speaker 1>get right game though, for Sae Kwon. According to Football Outsiders,

0:59:34.920 --> 0:59:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay is ranked against the run and they have

0:59:37.760 --> 0:59:40.439
<v Speaker 1>yielded the third most red zone touches to running backs

0:59:40.480 --> 0:59:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and gold to go scenarios. So I'm gonna get Barkley

0:59:43.240 --> 0:59:46.520
<v Speaker 1>and a man you can almost sabotage. Troup doesn't come

0:59:46.520 --> 0:59:48.680
<v Speaker 1>through this game. Maybe we'll talk about that next week.

0:59:48.840 --> 0:59:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully not. We won't talk about Golden tat a whole lot.

0:59:51.280 --> 0:59:54.360
<v Speaker 1>He's been ruled out with the concussion. Sterling Shepard in

0:59:54.600 --> 0:59:57.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna give him the b should run the slot he

0:59:57.320 --> 0:59:59.120
<v Speaker 1>will now because Ted has been ruled out and he

0:59:59.160 --> 1:00:01.880
<v Speaker 1>had success in the in Daniel jones first two starts

1:00:01.920 --> 1:00:04.920
<v Speaker 1>when Tate was still on suspension, Shepard had seven for

1:00:04.960 --> 1:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>a hundred and one and then seven for seventy six

1:00:07.560 --> 1:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>and his two games manning the slot alone, but not

1:00:09.480 --> 1:00:12.720
<v Speaker 1>an ideal matchup for slot receivers. Traumont Williams is legit

1:00:13.040 --> 1:00:15.360
<v Speaker 1>and held Keenan Allen to just three catches for forty

1:00:15.440 --> 1:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>yards a few weeks ago, so just to see for Shephard,

1:00:18.400 --> 1:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm torn on Darius Slayton, but I'm going to put

1:00:21.280 --> 1:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>him on the bench. Green Bay yielding the second fewest

1:00:24.440 --> 1:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>targets to wide receivers, so not enough volume there for

1:00:27.360 --> 1:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>me with him, I mentioned, and take on Evan Ingram's

1:00:30.200 --> 1:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>ruled out. Rhett Ellis in the backup ruled out that

1:00:33.120 --> 1:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>made Caden Smith. Might take a chance of the receiver

1:00:35.440 --> 1:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>tight end eligible if you're desperate out there. But in uh, lastly,

1:00:38.640 --> 1:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Jones on the bench for me and this one.

1:00:41.200 --> 1:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>The Packers are yielding under thirty one pass attempts per game.

1:00:44.440 --> 1:00:46.520
<v Speaker 1>That is not a lot at all, and even though

1:00:46.520 --> 1:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay has allowed multiple passing scores and three of

1:00:48.720 --> 1:00:52.160
<v Speaker 1>their last five. I cannot trust Daniel Jones, especially without

1:00:52.160 --> 1:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Golden Date and Evian Ingram. Did you know every week

1:02:09.560 --> 1:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>there's no defense. Always toiling over what defense to start

1:02:13.200 --> 1:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>in daily fantasy is the worst. It's kind of true.

1:02:16.280 --> 1:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Oakland takes on Kansas City guys easy a for Josh Jacobs.

1:02:20.160 --> 1:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>The Chiefs at the second most rushing yards to opposing

1:02:22.640 --> 1:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>running backs on a league worst five yards per carry.

1:02:25.600 --> 1:02:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Josh Jacobs potentially sitting on a gigantic game here, um,

1:02:29.080 --> 1:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>and really they're even worse than that. Over the last

1:02:31.200 --> 1:02:35.920
<v Speaker 1>four games, running backs are averaging thirty touches for two

1:02:36.000 --> 1:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>hundred thirteen yards and one point a touchdowns per game

1:02:39.880 --> 1:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>against the Chiefs. So Jacobs had a brutal matchup last week,

1:02:43.800 --> 1:02:46.360
<v Speaker 1>bounces back here with a very nice game. I believe.

1:02:47.280 --> 1:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the passing game. Derek Carr in explicably

1:02:49.640 --> 1:02:52.920
<v Speaker 1>blank last week, has been a other than that has

1:02:53.000 --> 1:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>mostly been a very safe starter this year in Kansas

1:02:56.000 --> 1:02:59.040
<v Speaker 1>City sees an average of thirty six passes per game.

1:02:59.320 --> 1:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>So maybe if all malone will get Derek Carter some

1:03:01.480 --> 1:03:04.640
<v Speaker 1>fantasy viability here. The chief secondary has improved, but over

1:03:04.680 --> 1:03:07.720
<v Speaker 1>the last month, every opposing quarterback has scored and they've

1:03:07.880 --> 1:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>all topped three hundred yards and or thrown multiple touchdowns,

1:03:11.320 --> 1:03:13.640
<v Speaker 1>So I think car gets this gets close to three

1:03:13.720 --> 1:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred here. I want to believe so anyway, Tyrone Williams

1:03:16.600 --> 1:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>super disappointing, had those five straight touchdown games to start

1:03:20.440 --> 1:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>the season, hasn't and is now not scored for a month.

1:03:24.000 --> 1:03:26.960
<v Speaker 1>He's averaging just forty three yards on three catches over

1:03:27.040 --> 1:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the last month. He'll be tested against cornerback chart Various Ward,

1:03:31.040 --> 1:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>who has improved dramatically and is yielding just seventy pass

1:03:34.920 --> 1:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>rating of just seventy two in his coverage and has

1:03:37.560 --> 1:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>not allowed to score since week number four. So he's

1:03:39.880 --> 1:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>just got a C grade. Darren Waller only has a

1:03:43.560 --> 1:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>C grade as well. The Chiefs have allowed seven receptions

1:03:46.760 --> 1:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>to opposing tight ends each to the last three weeks

1:03:48.960 --> 1:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to go along with a pair of scores, and Waller

1:03:51.640 --> 1:03:53.600
<v Speaker 1>had six catches in the first meeting, so I like

1:03:53.720 --> 1:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>him here. The problem, of course, as everybody knows, and

1:03:56.120 --> 1:03:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I think in particular Brian Johnson has been chagrined by

1:03:59.800 --> 1:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the lack of touchdowns for Darren wall Fabian Moreau has

1:04:02.800 --> 1:04:05.640
<v Speaker 1>got more touchdowns than he does on the season. I believe, Yeah,

1:04:05.800 --> 1:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>that's super disappointing. Just he's found the end zone in

1:04:08.760 --> 1:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>only two games all year. You're right, Fabian row is

1:04:12.480 --> 1:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback for the Reds against Foster. More serious questions,

1:04:17.640 --> 1:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>those guys related. I mean, normally a tight end and

1:04:20.120 --> 1:04:23.040
<v Speaker 1>a cornerback do not have the same d N A

1:04:23.840 --> 1:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>right to be built. You know, for those positions, what

1:04:26.720 --> 1:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>you usually get as a Travis Kelsey and a was

1:04:30.440 --> 1:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>a Jason right, both big bodied guy. Jason Kelsey, the

1:04:34.320 --> 1:04:36.439
<v Speaker 1>tight end brother would be the bully. And that brother,

1:04:37.040 --> 1:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>oh god, he was the guy pinning down the wait

1:04:41.320 --> 1:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Foster was pinning down Fabian Moreau and farting in his

1:04:44.440 --> 1:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>face because that's what older brothers due to younger brothers. Right, yeah,

1:04:49.360 --> 1:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>you would know. Let's go to the Kansas City side

1:04:52.400 --> 1:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>of this. For Patrick Mahomes and Tyree Hill and Travis Kelsey,

1:04:55.800 --> 1:04:57.600
<v Speaker 1>they are all obvious A grades, So we're not gonna

1:04:57.600 --> 1:04:59.840
<v Speaker 1>spend much time in any of those three. Since we

1:05:00.160 --> 1:05:05.600
<v Speaker 1>three non Finley quarterbacks have averaged three two passing yards

1:05:05.640 --> 1:05:09.280
<v Speaker 1>and three touchdowns against Oakland, Travis Kelsey has a great

1:05:09.280 --> 1:05:12.160
<v Speaker 1>opportunity against the Raiders defense that's allowed the second most

1:05:12.240 --> 1:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>tight end scores eight of them who else do we

1:05:16.600 --> 1:05:20.280
<v Speaker 1>like besides Mahomes, Hill and Kelsey. Sammy Watkins logs in

1:05:20.360 --> 1:05:22.640
<v Speaker 1>with a C grade and kind of a if not

1:05:22.880 --> 1:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>now when kind of game for Sammy Watkins. He averages

1:05:26.560 --> 1:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>s eight targets over the last month. He's turned eight

1:05:29.760 --> 1:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>targets into forty three yards per game. That's it and

1:05:33.760 --> 1:05:37.560
<v Speaker 1>by the way, scoreless yards per game. UM listener to

1:05:37.640 --> 1:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>the show Tom Roller told me today, Sammy Watkins in

1:05:40.760 --> 1:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>his scoring system, has as many points in Week one

1:05:44.120 --> 1:05:46.600
<v Speaker 1>as he's got the entire rest of the year. I

1:05:46.720 --> 1:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>was just going to make that assumption that he probably

1:05:48.600 --> 1:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>has outscored the non week one games in Week one, Yes, unreal.

1:05:53.600 --> 1:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>The ultimate high cell moment that no one took advantage

1:05:56.160 --> 1:05:58.280
<v Speaker 1>of it was right then, because who nobody wanted to

1:05:58.320 --> 1:06:00.920
<v Speaker 1>give up on Sammy Watkins after that with Hill getting hurt,

1:06:01.160 --> 1:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes and Hills out right, so nobody wanted to give

1:06:03.320 --> 1:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>him up right then? Um. Watkins is a nice match

1:06:06.040 --> 1:06:08.960
<v Speaker 1>up against cornerback Nevin Lawson. In five games, Lawson has

1:06:09.000 --> 1:06:12.040
<v Speaker 1>surrendered a massive hundred thirty passer rating in his coverage

1:06:12.280 --> 1:06:14.840
<v Speaker 1>and he also allowed touchdown last week. So Sammy Watkins

1:06:14.920 --> 1:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>gets a sea here. Let's go to the running backs

1:06:16.920 --> 1:06:19.920
<v Speaker 1>for the Chiefs. Damian Williams has been ruled out, and

1:06:20.000 --> 1:06:22.800
<v Speaker 1>that brings both Lashawn McCoy and Darryl Williams up to

1:06:22.880 --> 1:06:25.600
<v Speaker 1>see grades here. I think McCoy is gonna get the

1:06:25.640 --> 1:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>majority of work, but we will see Darryl Williams as

1:06:28.160 --> 1:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>well McCoy. Over the last three games Oakland, Oakland's opposing

1:06:33.160 --> 1:06:35.919
<v Speaker 1>running backs have have averaged a hundred sixty three total

1:06:36.000 --> 1:06:38.320
<v Speaker 1>yards and a touchdown per game. If we're gonna split

1:06:38.360 --> 1:06:40.520
<v Speaker 1>a hundred and sixty three total yards and a touchdown

1:06:40.560 --> 1:06:43.640
<v Speaker 1>per game between McCoy and Williams, there and they're both

1:06:43.640 --> 1:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>see grade, so eight yards and half a touchdown out

1:06:46.000 --> 1:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>of each. A coin flips chance that a touchdown on each.

1:06:48.480 --> 1:06:50.760
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like a C grade for Williams and McCoy.

1:06:51.000 --> 1:06:54.000
<v Speaker 1>And then there are three games without Damian Williams. They're

1:06:54.120 --> 1:06:57.480
<v Speaker 1>split is almost exact. Yeah, touch wise, touch wise, that

1:06:57.560 --> 1:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>sounds right. Um, we don't have any hands. I saw

1:07:00.240 --> 1:07:02.040
<v Speaker 1>you typing furiously to get to the bottom of our

1:07:02.080 --> 1:07:05.280
<v Speaker 1>mereau broke. We don't know, We cannot identify. I don't

1:07:05.320 --> 1:07:07.840
<v Speaker 1>think they're just because I can't find anything. That's probably

1:07:07.840 --> 1:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>true that if they were, they you would probably know.

1:07:09.920 --> 1:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Although maybe same mother, different father. Can't that you can't

1:07:13.800 --> 1:07:15.760
<v Speaker 1>rule that out. We don't know, and maybe they're not

1:07:15.840 --> 1:07:21.120
<v Speaker 1>talking about that. Tennessee the same say, maybe I'm gonna

1:07:21.160 --> 1:07:23.760
<v Speaker 1>dive deeper. Well, fish does this matchup? If you can

1:07:23.760 --> 1:07:30.040
<v Speaker 1>get me on the past, that would be fantastic. Yeah, quickly,

1:07:30.840 --> 1:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee takes on Indianapolis Scott. Derrick Henry has been amazing

1:07:35.800 --> 1:07:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's starting to feel a lot like last year

1:07:38.520 --> 1:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>where Derrick Henry pounded the opponent December opponents into submission.

1:07:42.160 --> 1:07:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I think we may see some more of that here.

1:07:43.800 --> 1:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about Derrick Henry? You see travels? Yeah,

1:07:47.360 --> 1:07:49.480
<v Speaker 1>you can't. He's I don't even know that he's worth

1:07:49.520 --> 1:07:52.760
<v Speaker 1>talking about anymore. He's just you can't grade. He's twenty

1:07:52.800 --> 1:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>plus touches, he's you know, a hundred and fifty plus

1:07:55.920 --> 1:07:58.439
<v Speaker 1>yards in two straight averaging like eight yards of carry,

1:07:58.480 --> 1:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns eached the last two. No, it doesn't matter

1:08:00.880 --> 1:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>who he plays. You can't bench him at this point anyway.

1:08:04.240 --> 1:08:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Onto Tannehill in the passing game. Tannehill has been really

1:08:07.560 --> 1:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>good too. Hack of a trade there for the for

1:08:11.320 --> 1:08:14.960
<v Speaker 1>the for the Titans with Miami there, Tannehill has thirteen

1:08:15.000 --> 1:08:17.800
<v Speaker 1>touches in his five starts and sticking over and he's

1:08:17.920 --> 1:08:20.679
<v Speaker 1>Q three in that stretch over the last five weeks,

1:08:21.000 --> 1:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>which is which is crazy. Uh. He gets a Colts

1:08:24.280 --> 1:08:26.799
<v Speaker 1>defense who has allowed nearly three yards and two scores

1:08:26.840 --> 1:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>to Nick Foles and Deshaun Watson in each of the

1:08:29.120 --> 1:08:32.559
<v Speaker 1>last two weeks. Uh. Only Joe Flacco failed to score

1:08:32.560 --> 1:08:35.320
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown on the Colts and was benched the following year.

1:08:36.600 --> 1:08:38.280
<v Speaker 1>You're so bad you can't throw a touch up past

1:08:38.400 --> 1:08:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the bench and people forget Tannehill as a converted wide

1:08:41.439 --> 1:08:44.640
<v Speaker 1>receiver from college. Yeah, just be hitting a stride. You

1:08:44.720 --> 1:08:50.320
<v Speaker 1>know it took five years, six years. No, Uh, Brown

1:08:50.720 --> 1:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>is the guy, like more than Davis. Corey Davis his

1:08:53.000 --> 1:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>top fifty yards just once and scored just once with

1:08:56.320 --> 1:08:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Tannehill under center. As good as Tannehill has been in

1:08:59.200 --> 1:09:02.479
<v Speaker 1>as many Fantasy point is, he's generating none of it

1:09:02.680 --> 1:09:05.960
<v Speaker 1>going to Corey David. No. No, A. J Brown's getting

1:09:06.000 --> 1:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>it though, because he's had sixty yards and our scored

1:09:08.320 --> 1:09:11.760
<v Speaker 1>in four of the five with Tannehill top fifty yards

1:09:11.800 --> 1:09:15.320
<v Speaker 1>three three times, scored twice. I give him. I'm giving

1:09:15.400 --> 1:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>him a B grade. I do have Humphries on the

1:09:18.200 --> 1:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>bench though. Keenan Allen was the only slot guy to

1:09:21.040 --> 1:09:25.439
<v Speaker 1>top fifty yards against the Colts in eleven games. That's

1:09:25.600 --> 1:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy. And Humphreys is only top that twice in

1:09:28.240 --> 1:09:30.800
<v Speaker 1>his eleven games. So he's on the bench. I have

1:09:30.920 --> 1:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>John on the bench. Walker being on I R made

1:09:33.280 --> 1:09:35.760
<v Speaker 1>me think about it for just a second. But they're

1:09:35.800 --> 1:09:39.440
<v Speaker 1>just not passing the tight ends. Uh, they're not completing

1:09:39.640 --> 1:09:41.960
<v Speaker 1>enough passes to the tight ends. He's targeting him six

1:09:42.080 --> 1:09:45.200
<v Speaker 1>to seven times, but um, it's just not there. On

1:09:45.280 --> 1:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>the other side. Uh, you know, t Y Hilton Note

1:09:48.320 --> 1:09:51.680
<v Speaker 1>is making me bench basically the whole passing game. You know.

1:09:51.760 --> 1:09:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I think Zach Pascal had one good game with Hilton Note,

1:09:55.920 --> 1:09:59.080
<v Speaker 1>but that that puts the bench Doyle, well, yeah, I

1:09:59.160 --> 1:10:01.080
<v Speaker 1>was gonna get to it. If I'm starting anyone, it's

1:10:01.160 --> 1:10:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Jack Doyle. Uh he I'm probably downgrading him from a

1:10:04.600 --> 1:10:05.840
<v Speaker 1>B to a CEE. I had him as a B

1:10:05.960 --> 1:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>with Hilton and now I think it's more of a C.

1:10:07.760 --> 1:10:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I think that offense is gonna be tough to run,

1:10:09.680 --> 1:10:11.479
<v Speaker 1>but I think they're going to run it through Williams.

1:10:12.200 --> 1:10:14.200
<v Speaker 1>He'll have a little tougher time, but the Titans have

1:10:14.240 --> 1:10:17.599
<v Speaker 1>allowed three straight lead backs over a hundred yards. Williams

1:10:17.640 --> 1:10:19.360
<v Speaker 1>has two straight over a hundred yards, and they really

1:10:19.439 --> 1:10:23.120
<v Speaker 1>like him. They're getting give him him twenty touches. Yeah,

1:10:23.120 --> 1:10:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving him a B grade. All right, that was

1:10:25.560 --> 1:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>an easy one. I think it's still the case that

1:10:28.400 --> 1:10:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the Colts have not won a game since drafting t

1:10:31.320 --> 1:10:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Y Hilton. When t Y Hilton did not play every while,

1:10:34.960 --> 1:10:37.400
<v Speaker 1>that was because they've lost last week. I read that

1:10:37.600 --> 1:10:41.200
<v Speaker 1>very so I think that that still holds true. Charges

1:10:41.280 --> 1:10:43.799
<v Speaker 1>take on the Denver Broncos final matchup of this segment.

1:10:44.560 --> 1:10:47.560
<v Speaker 1>For the Chargers, this has been a passing game that

1:10:47.720 --> 1:10:51.439
<v Speaker 1>has been largely very bad and very inconsistent, and now

1:10:51.520 --> 1:10:55.280
<v Speaker 1>they get a good Denver secondary. Do you dare start

1:10:55.320 --> 1:10:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Philip Rivers and members of this passing offense, Brian, I'll

1:10:59.280 --> 1:11:01.360
<v Speaker 1>dive into his receivers and we'll get two Rivers and

1:11:01.400 --> 1:11:02.720
<v Speaker 1>what I had Start him or not. But it's not

1:11:02.800 --> 1:11:04.880
<v Speaker 1>off to a good start. With Keenan Allen, who had

1:11:04.960 --> 1:11:07.320
<v Speaker 1>four catches for eighteen yards when these teams first met

1:11:07.400 --> 1:11:09.640
<v Speaker 1>this season, has been held under seventy five yards in

1:11:09.720 --> 1:11:12.560
<v Speaker 1>his last three games in Denver where his game is

1:11:12.560 --> 1:11:16.479
<v Speaker 1>getting played. So just to see for Keenan Allen, Mike Williams,

1:11:16.680 --> 1:11:17.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just want to give him a SEA

1:11:18.040 --> 1:11:22.479
<v Speaker 1>is because he's so do right he's been doing. He

1:11:22.560 --> 1:11:24.599
<v Speaker 1>had six catches for seventy four yards in the Week

1:11:24.640 --> 1:11:28.840
<v Speaker 1>five game. That's startable, that's sea level side production. Five

1:11:28.920 --> 1:11:31.960
<v Speaker 1>for sixty five and a touchdown last year in Denver

1:11:32.520 --> 1:11:35.519
<v Speaker 1>probably a tougher matchup last year, that definitely a B.

1:11:35.960 --> 1:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>So I'm just gonna give him a C and hopefully

1:11:38.400 --> 1:11:40.360
<v Speaker 1>all through the universe and get him in the end zone.

1:11:40.439 --> 1:11:42.320
<v Speaker 1>So a CEE for Mike Williams. Kind of a gut

1:11:42.360 --> 1:11:44.920
<v Speaker 1>shot call, but what are you gonna do? Hunter Henry

1:11:46.160 --> 1:11:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Almost a CE for him, but I'm gonna give him

1:11:47.960 --> 1:11:49.840
<v Speaker 1>a B just because he is one of the elite

1:11:49.920 --> 1:11:52.640
<v Speaker 1>tight ends in the league outside of Herbs Smith and

1:11:52.720 --> 1:11:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Kyl Rudolph, who each caught a touchdown in the Week

1:11:55.200 --> 1:11:59.559
<v Speaker 1>eleven second half epic melt down by the Broncos. Denver

1:11:59.680 --> 1:12:02.960
<v Speaker 1>had not allowed are They allowed just one touchdown to

1:12:03.280 --> 1:12:06.680
<v Speaker 1>tight ends and that came in Week four. Henry is

1:12:06.720 --> 1:12:09.519
<v Speaker 1>averaging eight targets per game since returning from injury, so

1:12:09.520 --> 1:12:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I will give him a B. Here. I was gonna

1:12:11.400 --> 1:12:13.840
<v Speaker 1>mention his past performance, but he hasn't played Denver since

1:12:13.880 --> 1:12:16.560
<v Speaker 1>October of seventeen, so no point in that really. And

1:12:16.600 --> 1:12:19.000
<v Speaker 1>then Philip Rivers, though, even though three starting grades for

1:12:19.080 --> 1:12:21.439
<v Speaker 1>his past catchers, that doesn't mean they're all going to produce.

1:12:21.800 --> 1:12:23.960
<v Speaker 1>It just means they all have the potential to produce.

1:12:24.360 --> 1:12:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I got Rivers on the bench. The Broncos have slender

1:12:27.360 --> 1:12:31.719
<v Speaker 1>surrendered multiple passing touchdowns in consecutive games, but Josh Allen

1:12:31.800 --> 1:12:33.920
<v Speaker 1>only through a hundred and eighty five yards. And then

1:12:33.960 --> 1:12:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the other game was that epic second half collapse in

1:12:36.360 --> 1:12:39.599
<v Speaker 1>Minneapolis that was here in Minneapolis, that is basically an anomaly.

1:12:39.960 --> 1:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Before those two games, Denver had allowed just one quarterback

1:12:43.240 --> 1:12:46.200
<v Speaker 1>to top one passing touchdown all year, and only two

1:12:46.280 --> 1:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks managed the top two fifty passing yards. So Rivers

1:12:49.200 --> 1:12:51.280
<v Speaker 1>on the bench, Melvin Gordon not on the bench, and

1:12:51.360 --> 1:12:54.759
<v Speaker 1>give him a B averaging twenty touches twenty plus touches

1:12:54.800 --> 1:12:57.599
<v Speaker 1>over the last three games. Bell cow status is back.

1:12:58.120 --> 1:13:00.599
<v Speaker 1>Not an ideal matchup, though Denver has ran top ten

1:13:00.600 --> 1:13:03.639
<v Speaker 1>against the run by football outsiders and outside of Leo

1:13:03.720 --> 1:13:07.439
<v Speaker 1>four nets two five yard outbursts against the Broncos. Only

1:13:07.520 --> 1:13:10.439
<v Speaker 1>one other running back has topped ninety yards against Denver.

1:13:10.640 --> 1:13:14.360
<v Speaker 1>It was Devin Singletary against the Bills last week. Real quick,

1:13:14.600 --> 1:13:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess how many touchdowns Melvin Gordon Melvin Gordon has

1:13:17.800 --> 1:13:24.080
<v Speaker 1>rushed for against the Broncos in his career. I'm gonna guess. Well,

1:13:24.080 --> 1:13:27.840
<v Speaker 1>it's obviously a lot or a little. Um six or seven, seven,

1:13:28.120 --> 1:13:31.000
<v Speaker 1>six or seven games? Well, yeah, it's probably been about

1:13:31.000 --> 1:13:35.160
<v Speaker 1>seven games. I'm gonna guess like one close zero zero

1:13:35.240 --> 1:13:38.200
<v Speaker 1>rushing touchdowns, one total touchdown called a touchdown. The last

1:13:38.240 --> 1:13:41.679
<v Speaker 1>time he topped seventy rushing yards against the Broncos was October.

1:13:43.920 --> 1:13:46.160
<v Speaker 1>But still gonna give Gordon to b for whatever reason.

1:13:46.240 --> 1:13:48.720
<v Speaker 1>But and then Austin Ekeler when these teams met in

1:13:48.760 --> 1:13:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Week five, he had fifteen catches for parts. That was

1:13:54.160 --> 1:13:56.840
<v Speaker 1>that was first game back by the way um and

1:13:56.880 --> 1:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the outside of that game, only two loan backs have

1:13:59.400 --> 1:14:02.760
<v Speaker 1>managed to three catches against the Broncos and Denver has

1:14:02.840 --> 1:14:05.840
<v Speaker 1>only surrendered has a surrendered one receiving score of the

1:14:05.880 --> 1:14:09.479
<v Speaker 1>position since Week four. Uh so, yeah, I'll give Keler

1:14:09.520 --> 1:14:12.080
<v Speaker 1>a c in PPR but just barely over to the

1:14:12.120 --> 1:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Denver side. This will be quick. Courtland Sutton. I'm gonna

1:14:15.080 --> 1:14:17.000
<v Speaker 1>give him a c might give him a be if

1:14:17.040 --> 1:14:19.760
<v Speaker 1>he actually had a quarterback. He had four catches ninety

1:14:19.760 --> 1:14:22.599
<v Speaker 1>two yards in a touchdown in the first game. The Chargers, though,

1:14:22.640 --> 1:14:25.479
<v Speaker 1>are likely to get back all World safety Durwin James,

1:14:25.560 --> 1:14:28.760
<v Speaker 1>who has play at all season long and will be

1:14:28.840 --> 1:14:31.880
<v Speaker 1>good in his first game back. He'll be a little rusty.

1:14:32.000 --> 1:14:36.040
<v Speaker 1>But even without James, um I was gonna call him

1:14:36.040 --> 1:14:37.760
<v Speaker 1>San Diego. I can still not used call him l A.

1:14:38.360 --> 1:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles was already clamping down on opposing wide receivers

1:14:41.479 --> 1:14:43.479
<v Speaker 1>over the last four games. They had not surrendered a

1:14:43.560 --> 1:14:46.680
<v Speaker 1>score to the position, and no wideout has even hit

1:14:46.840 --> 1:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>the seventy receiving yard mark in those four games. So

1:14:49.360 --> 1:14:51.680
<v Speaker 1>just to see for Sutton. Not gonna mention any other

1:14:51.720 --> 1:14:54.479
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers for the Broncos with Brandon Allen as a quarterback,

1:14:54.800 --> 1:14:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I will mention, Noah fant do do we think Brandon

1:14:58.200 --> 1:15:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Allen is gonna start this game? I heard Drew Lock might,

1:15:00.960 --> 1:15:03.920
<v Speaker 1>but Andrew Lock has been taking first team STAPs. Could

1:15:07.160 --> 1:15:09.599
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter. I just want to get your no, No, yeah,

1:15:10.200 --> 1:15:11.800
<v Speaker 1>you should thank you for bringing that up, and it's

1:15:11.840 --> 1:15:13.960
<v Speaker 1>worth mentioning for sure. But yeah, they're both not uh

1:15:14.360 --> 1:15:17.080
<v Speaker 1>can have very and you know he's not gonna have

1:15:17.160 --> 1:15:19.400
<v Speaker 1>a good game, is Noah fan even though he's been

1:15:19.400 --> 1:15:22.479
<v Speaker 1>a target hog since the Mannie Sanders trade. If Derwin

1:15:22.600 --> 1:15:25.160
<v Speaker 1>James comes back, that foe is even worse for fans.

1:15:25.400 --> 1:15:28.080
<v Speaker 1>By the way, the Chargers allowed the third fewest PPR

1:15:28.160 --> 1:15:31.960
<v Speaker 1>points per target last season with a healthy Derwin James.

1:15:32.000 --> 1:15:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I have to thank Mike tag Lear for that stat.

1:15:34.320 --> 1:15:36.320
<v Speaker 1>But even without James, it's been a bad matchup for

1:15:36.400 --> 1:15:39.240
<v Speaker 1>tight ends. Since Week four l A, the l A

1:15:39.439 --> 1:15:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Chargers have only allowed one tight end touchdown and it

1:15:42.160 --> 1:15:45.439
<v Speaker 1>went to Travis Kelsey. Recently, they also limited Darren Waller

1:15:45.479 --> 1:15:47.320
<v Speaker 1>to be three catches for forty yards and week ten,

1:15:47.439 --> 1:15:50.599
<v Speaker 1>so I got fans on the bench, go grab Caden

1:15:50.720 --> 1:15:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Smith or Tyler Higbee much better options this week and

1:15:54.160 --> 1:15:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Allen on the bench. Philip Lindsay, though in A,

1:15:56.760 --> 1:16:00.200
<v Speaker 1>has outtouched Royce Freeman thirty two to thirteen over the

1:16:00.320 --> 1:16:03.120
<v Speaker 1>last two weeks. When Lindsay had a hundred and forty

1:16:03.160 --> 1:16:05.679
<v Speaker 1>seven combo yards and a touchdown in the first meeting,

1:16:06.320 --> 1:16:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Royce Freeman stole fift touches in that game. You have

1:16:09.360 --> 1:16:12.040
<v Speaker 1>those touches to Philip Lindsay and we got an a.

1:16:12.640 --> 1:16:15.400
<v Speaker 1>The charters have allowed at least one running back touchdown

1:16:15.479 --> 1:16:18.640
<v Speaker 1>in seven straight games. Our final set of matchups are

1:16:18.680 --> 1:16:21.840
<v Speaker 1>coming up next, and our final premature speculation of the

1:16:22.000 --> 1:16:25.080
<v Speaker 1>year also coming off. I figured one out. We got

1:16:25.160 --> 1:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>one all right, you've got a premature speculation ready to go.

1:16:27.920 --> 1:16:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad to hear that you'll like you get three

1:16:30.040 --> 1:16:33.600
<v Speaker 1>of them coming at you. These are players that you

1:16:33.600 --> 1:16:35.439
<v Speaker 1>don't want to pick up this week, that everybody else

1:16:35.479 --> 1:16:38.160
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be trying to pick up next week. Courtesy

<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly returning in moments, Welcome back. Fantasy Football Weekly.

1:17:11.200 --> 1:17:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Premature Speculation might be the most popular segment on this show.

1:17:14.880 --> 1:17:16.240
<v Speaker 1>It's just one week of you, guys, we think you

1:17:16.240 --> 1:17:17.800
<v Speaker 1>should pick up this week that other people will be

1:17:17.840 --> 1:17:20.479
<v Speaker 1>trying to pick up next week. But they're already on

1:17:20.520 --> 1:17:26.160
<v Speaker 1>your team. Begin Bryan Johnson, who's hitting the time machine

1:17:26.240 --> 1:17:28.599
<v Speaker 1>for you. This is more like who you'll be picking

1:17:28.680 --> 1:17:30.280
<v Speaker 1>up next season. Because I got a little bit of

1:17:30.320 --> 1:17:32.720
<v Speaker 1>a dynasty Empire angle. This is where I thought we

1:17:32.760 --> 1:17:34.960
<v Speaker 1>were going to. So I also did that, which you

1:17:35.000 --> 1:17:37.080
<v Speaker 1>should be playing on Safe leagues dot Com by the way.

1:17:37.120 --> 1:17:41.040
<v Speaker 1>But it's Dallas. Is Blake Jarwin tight end. Obviously, he's

1:17:41.080 --> 1:17:44.519
<v Speaker 1>been sharing time with Jason Witten all season, the decrepit

1:17:44.560 --> 1:17:46.080
<v Speaker 1>old Jason Win. Even though he had a good game

1:17:46.160 --> 1:17:49.120
<v Speaker 1>last week. Whatever, Dallas tight ends are averaging six catches,

1:17:49.240 --> 1:17:52.400
<v Speaker 1>fifty seven yards and exactly one half of a touchdown

1:17:52.439 --> 1:17:55.120
<v Speaker 1>per game. Jarwin has scored half of the Cowboys tight

1:17:55.200 --> 1:17:57.840
<v Speaker 1>end touchdowns. Remove Witten from the equation next year and

1:17:57.840 --> 1:17:59.880
<v Speaker 1>you got a top ten tight end in Blake Jarwin.

1:18:00.040 --> 1:18:03.519
<v Speaker 1>All right, So mine is gonna be Andy Isabella. Larry

1:18:03.560 --> 1:18:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Fitzgerald might be playing his last season, we don't know yet,

1:18:06.240 --> 1:18:09.640
<v Speaker 1>but Andy Isabella is gonna grow with Kyler Murray. His

1:18:10.000 --> 1:18:12.120
<v Speaker 1>snaps have been ticking up. He has seventy five plus

1:18:12.240 --> 1:18:14.760
<v Speaker 1>yards in two of the last three weeks. Uh. And

1:18:15.160 --> 1:18:17.320
<v Speaker 1>come next week, maybe you're in a league where you

1:18:17.320 --> 1:18:19.200
<v Speaker 1>can drop your kicker of defense and pick up one

1:18:19.200 --> 1:18:22.120
<v Speaker 1>of those speculative guys because you'll be done playing for

1:18:22.160 --> 1:18:25.599
<v Speaker 1>the season if you're not a contender. So Andy Isabella

1:18:25.760 --> 1:18:28.920
<v Speaker 1>throw him on your roster. Um the player with the

1:18:29.080 --> 1:18:32.040
<v Speaker 1>easiest remaining schedule at tight end or the team I

1:18:32.080 --> 1:18:35.160
<v Speaker 1>guess with the easiest remaining schedule is Cleveland. Who's coming

1:18:35.240 --> 1:18:38.880
<v Speaker 1>back David and Joku. David and Joe Wu is coming back.

1:18:38.920 --> 1:18:43.240
<v Speaker 1>They get Cincinnati Arizona and then Baltimore, and actually Baltimore

1:18:43.360 --> 1:18:44.920
<v Speaker 1>is the one thing they're not awesome at is against

1:18:44.960 --> 1:18:47.519
<v Speaker 1>the tight end. So Cincinnati Arizona Baltimore, you could be

1:18:47.560 --> 1:18:49.720
<v Speaker 1>starting David and Joe Wu probably comes back this week.

1:18:49.960 --> 1:18:52.240
<v Speaker 1>You let him knock the rust off this week, and

1:18:52.280 --> 1:18:55.479
<v Speaker 1>then you pick him up for that Cincinnati Arizona games.

1:18:55.960 --> 1:18:58.120
<v Speaker 1>And now you've got somebody. You've got a startable tight

1:18:58.240 --> 1:19:00.320
<v Speaker 1>end when most of the time most of don't have

1:19:00.320 --> 1:19:03.080
<v Speaker 1>a starting tight end. It's a waste land. It is

1:19:03.120 --> 1:19:04.720
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a waste land out there, for sure.

1:19:04.960 --> 1:19:06.560
<v Speaker 1>The Monday night game we're gonna do Monday night and

1:19:06.640 --> 1:19:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Sunday night. The Monday night game is Minnesota taking on Seattle.

1:19:10.320 --> 1:19:11.880
<v Speaker 1>And this one is a little bit thorny because of

1:19:12.240 --> 1:19:15.439
<v Speaker 1>the Adam Feeland situation. He did not really practice and

1:19:15.520 --> 1:19:18.280
<v Speaker 1>meaningfully all week leading up to this game. He will

1:19:18.320 --> 1:19:20.080
<v Speaker 1>probably be a true game time decision, and if you

1:19:20.200 --> 1:19:22.400
<v Speaker 1>if you don't know otherwise, I think you're probably you're

1:19:22.400 --> 1:19:24.640
<v Speaker 1>probably in a very tight spot with him. If you

1:19:24.720 --> 1:19:27.120
<v Speaker 1>had to pivot from Feeling, you could go to Josh Gordon,

1:19:27.160 --> 1:19:30.160
<v Speaker 1>who'll talk about later, who's got a startable grade OLDA

1:19:30.200 --> 1:19:33.040
<v Speaker 1>B C. Johnson would be his primary backup and would

1:19:33.080 --> 1:19:35.160
<v Speaker 1>play his role in the offense. You could try him

1:19:35.200 --> 1:19:38.320
<v Speaker 1>if you wanted to. If Feeland does go, it's a

1:19:38.400 --> 1:19:40.920
<v Speaker 1>great matchup because the Seahawks are in great flux at

1:19:40.960 --> 1:19:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the slot cornerback position because they waived Jamaar Taylor and

1:19:45.120 --> 1:19:48.000
<v Speaker 1>they used to back up A Keen King in that

1:19:48.120 --> 1:19:51.760
<v Speaker 1>position last week. Keen King is allowed every single throw

1:19:51.840 --> 1:19:54.639
<v Speaker 1>in his coverage this year to be completed. So if

1:19:54.760 --> 1:19:57.759
<v Speaker 1>Feeland is able to go, it's a pretty strong matchup

1:19:57.840 --> 1:20:00.640
<v Speaker 1>for him, and I would have a I got a

1:20:00.680 --> 1:20:02.920
<v Speaker 1>factor in the possibility that he has a setback into

1:20:02.960 --> 1:20:05.040
<v Speaker 1>his grade. I'll give him a C grade because of

1:20:05.080 --> 1:20:07.839
<v Speaker 1>the setback scare. But if he doesn't have the setback,

1:20:07.840 --> 1:20:09.439
<v Speaker 1>and from you can tell me he wouldn't have a setback,

1:20:09.439 --> 1:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I'd give him a much higher grade and probably an

1:20:11.240 --> 1:20:14.160
<v Speaker 1>A grade. Now for Stefon Diggs on the other side,

1:20:14.920 --> 1:20:16.760
<v Speaker 1>he is an all or nothing guy in these games

1:20:16.800 --> 1:20:19.559
<v Speaker 1>when Theeland doesn't play. I think he's got a nice

1:20:19.600 --> 1:20:22.559
<v Speaker 1>matchup here, though, because will mostly see Trey Flowers. He's

1:20:22.600 --> 1:20:26.200
<v Speaker 1>a converted safety. He's on the slower, bigger side among

1:20:26.320 --> 1:20:30.360
<v Speaker 1>cornerbacks and takes this so slippery. I think Diggs can

1:20:30.760 --> 1:20:34.000
<v Speaker 1>scirm his way free for potentially a very good game here.

1:20:34.200 --> 1:20:36.400
<v Speaker 1>And I've got to be grade on Diggs, but I'll

1:20:36.439 --> 1:20:38.120
<v Speaker 1>note that he does have these games where he just

1:20:38.280 --> 1:20:42.519
<v Speaker 1>disappears when when Theeland doesn't play. If teams just decided

1:20:42.560 --> 1:20:44.800
<v Speaker 1>to take him away at all costs, that could be

1:20:44.840 --> 1:20:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the end of Diggs. He doesn't usually break those kind

1:20:47.240 --> 1:20:49.519
<v Speaker 1>of games up. While we're staying with the passing game,

1:20:49.600 --> 1:20:52.240
<v Speaker 1>let's mention Kirk Cousins. I I like him obviously a

1:20:52.320 --> 1:20:54.599
<v Speaker 1>lot more. With Adam Feeling, he gets a B grade.

1:20:54.600 --> 1:20:56.880
<v Speaker 1>With Theeeland, he gets a C grade without Feeling. Over

1:20:56.920 --> 1:21:00.320
<v Speaker 1>the last seven games, Kirk has average two yards and

1:21:00.360 --> 1:21:03.120
<v Speaker 1>two point six touchdowns, which is great. He's strowing multiple

1:21:03.160 --> 1:21:07.160
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in six of the past seven games. Seattle secondary, though,

1:21:07.240 --> 1:21:10.000
<v Speaker 1>was improving quite a bit um and they're they're actually

1:21:10.040 --> 1:21:12.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty good at this stage. But Cousins just got done

1:21:12.320 --> 1:21:14.880
<v Speaker 1>beating too solid defenses in Dallas and Denver, so I

1:21:14.880 --> 1:21:18.320
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't necessarily rule that out. From week four forward. Seattle

1:21:18.360 --> 1:21:20.920
<v Speaker 1>is allowing less than one touchdown past per game. That's it.

1:21:21.160 --> 1:21:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Are you buying into the primetime narratives? Still, we're Kirk

1:21:24.280 --> 1:21:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Struggles in primetime? He said, I mean, just just be

1:21:26.920 --> 1:21:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Dallas in primetime to two games ago. I'm not uh kurt.

1:21:31.360 --> 1:21:33.560
<v Speaker 1>For Kyle Rudolph on fire with five touchdowns over his

1:21:33.680 --> 1:21:35.640
<v Speaker 1>last five games. The Seahawks have been one of the

1:21:35.720 --> 1:21:39.040
<v Speaker 1>worst tight end defenses. They ranked bottom five in tight

1:21:39.160 --> 1:21:42.679
<v Speaker 1>end receptions and yards allowed, and they just allowed nineteen

1:21:42.800 --> 1:21:45.920
<v Speaker 1>receptions to the Eagles tight ends last week nineteen. So

1:21:46.080 --> 1:21:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Rudolph gets a C grade in this one too.

1:21:48.439 --> 1:21:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Seattle side easy. A grade for

1:21:51.160 --> 1:21:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson. His peers that have faced the Vikings have

1:21:56.400 --> 1:22:00.719
<v Speaker 1>been really effective. Dak Prescott, Matthew Stafford Carson, It's Matt Ryan,

1:22:00.800 --> 1:22:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers good quarterbacks like Russell Wilson. They average three

1:22:04.439 --> 1:22:08.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred sixteen yards and two point six touchdowns against Minnesota.

1:22:08.800 --> 1:22:11.080
<v Speaker 1>He's got strong matchups all over the field. A grade

1:22:11.120 --> 1:22:13.439
<v Speaker 1>for him and an A grade for his two starting receivers,

1:22:13.720 --> 1:22:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Lockett in DK Metcalf. Minnesota's a bottom five secondary

1:22:18.000 --> 1:22:22.240
<v Speaker 1>in yards and receptions and touchdowns allowed to wide receivers

1:22:22.320 --> 1:22:25.719
<v Speaker 1>over the last five weeks, and Tyler Locket will mostly

1:22:25.720 --> 1:22:28.360
<v Speaker 1>get Mackenzie Alexander out of the slot. He's been their

1:22:28.400 --> 1:22:30.519
<v Speaker 1>best cornerback, but that is not a high bar to clear,

1:22:30.640 --> 1:22:33.719
<v Speaker 1>and he's still allowing of the passes in his coverage

1:22:33.760 --> 1:22:36.879
<v Speaker 1>to be completed, So Tyler Lockett gets an A DK Metcalf.

1:22:37.320 --> 1:22:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Big bodied receivers like Metcalf almost always get extensive coverage

1:22:41.120 --> 1:22:43.479
<v Speaker 1>by Xavier Rhodes, and that is a green light for

1:22:43.600 --> 1:22:46.439
<v Speaker 1>DK Metcalf. Rhodes is playing at the lowest level of

1:22:46.520 --> 1:22:49.840
<v Speaker 1>his career, allowing eighties six percent of the passes in

1:22:50.000 --> 1:22:54.960
<v Speaker 1>his coverage to be completed. He ranks one among cornerbacks

1:22:55.040 --> 1:22:58.800
<v Speaker 1>by Pro Football Focus Xavier Rhodes x Xavier as he

1:22:58.840 --> 1:23:01.720
<v Speaker 1>likes to call himself now um even Josh Gordon is

1:23:01.720 --> 1:23:03.240
<v Speaker 1>in the mix for many of these same reasons he

1:23:03.240 --> 1:23:05.360
<v Speaker 1>would draw. Trey Wayne's also on a down year, he

1:23:05.479 --> 1:23:08.479
<v Speaker 1>gets a C grade. Jacob Hollister, their tight end is

1:23:08.560 --> 1:23:11.799
<v Speaker 1>also startable with a B grade. Minnesota's the most targeted

1:23:11.880 --> 1:23:15.120
<v Speaker 1>team for tight ends at ten per game and their

1:23:15.160 --> 1:23:18.559
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine and tight end receptions allowed. They did give

1:23:18.640 --> 1:23:20.639
<v Speaker 1>up just their first tight end touchdown of the season

1:23:21.200 --> 1:23:25.439
<v Speaker 1>last week to something called Troy Fumagali Hollister averaging almost

1:23:25.479 --> 1:23:27.640
<v Speaker 1>seven targets per game, so he's very safe in this

1:23:27.800 --> 1:23:29.599
<v Speaker 1>one as well, even if he doesn't get the score.

1:23:29.880 --> 1:23:31.640
<v Speaker 1>And that brings us to the fascinating part of this

1:23:31.760 --> 1:23:33.840
<v Speaker 1>matchup between the Vikings and the Seahawks, and that's at

1:23:33.880 --> 1:23:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the running back position, where I've got C grades on

1:23:36.360 --> 1:23:39.840
<v Speaker 1>both Chris Carson and Rashad Penny. For Carson, he had

1:23:39.880 --> 1:23:41.920
<v Speaker 1>the two fumbles last week and then basically didn't see

1:23:41.920 --> 1:23:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the field again, and Penny ran like crazy. We don't

1:23:44.439 --> 1:23:46.880
<v Speaker 1>know what the plan is for the Seahawks on this,

1:23:47.040 --> 1:23:50.479
<v Speaker 1>but we're either case. The Vikings are a good run defense.

1:23:50.920 --> 1:23:53.599
<v Speaker 1>Whether or not Linval Joseph comes back and his status

1:23:53.680 --> 1:23:54.960
<v Speaker 1>is up in the air as well. He's their run

1:23:55.040 --> 1:23:57.519
<v Speaker 1>stuffing defensive aligneman, but they haven't even missed him. In

1:23:57.520 --> 1:24:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the two games he missed, they bottled up Ezekiel Elliott

1:24:00.439 --> 1:24:03.560
<v Speaker 1>and Philip Lindsay, so the only two runners that have

1:24:03.640 --> 1:24:06.320
<v Speaker 1>done Only two runners have done anything against the Vikings

1:24:06.439 --> 1:24:08.800
<v Speaker 1>all year, and one of them needed a ninety one

1:24:08.880 --> 1:24:11.439
<v Speaker 1>yard run to get there. So I got Carson and

1:24:11.560 --> 1:24:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Penny just on C grades and you're rolling the dice

1:24:14.520 --> 1:24:16.960
<v Speaker 1>on the usage on both of those guys. Let's get

1:24:16.960 --> 1:24:18.719
<v Speaker 1>to our final match up here, which is a Sunday

1:24:18.800 --> 1:24:21.439
<v Speaker 1>night er, New England taking on Houston. Yes, so Tom

1:24:21.479 --> 1:24:24.479
<v Speaker 1>Brady has not been great recently. Over the last five games,

1:24:24.560 --> 1:24:27.120
<v Speaker 1>he's averaging two in thirty nine yards and he's throwing

1:24:27.280 --> 1:24:30.880
<v Speaker 1>just five touchdowns, but the Texans are allowing three more

1:24:30.920 --> 1:24:34.000
<v Speaker 1>passing touchdowns in five last seven, and it's it's just

1:24:34.120 --> 1:24:36.920
<v Speaker 1>a good matchup. It feels like a get right matchup.

1:24:37.160 --> 1:24:39.280
<v Speaker 1>It feels like a get right matchup. So I gave

1:24:39.360 --> 1:24:41.800
<v Speaker 1>him a B grade. I'm giving edelman An a grade

1:24:41.840 --> 1:24:44.120
<v Speaker 1>ten plus targets in six trade. He's his main guy.

1:24:45.160 --> 1:24:48.000
<v Speaker 1>The questionable thing is the New or Dorset are they

1:24:48.080 --> 1:24:49.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna play It? Sounds like dor they're both on the

1:24:50.040 --> 1:24:53.559
<v Speaker 1>right side of questionable Dorset cleared protocol, so he should

1:24:53.640 --> 1:24:56.320
<v Speaker 1>be back if the New doesn't go. I'm giving USIG

1:24:56.320 --> 1:24:58.960
<v Speaker 1>grade to Dorsett, who has scored at five touchdowns in

1:24:59.040 --> 1:25:02.719
<v Speaker 1>his eight games. If snow goes his first game was okay,

1:25:02.920 --> 1:25:05.599
<v Speaker 1>his second game was great, and then his third game

1:25:05.640 --> 1:25:08.639
<v Speaker 1>got injured. I tend to lead more to the second game.

1:25:09.080 --> 1:25:12.599
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a C grade. Uh, White Michelle, I'm

1:25:12.640 --> 1:25:15.880
<v Speaker 1>giving him both Seas. Their snap percentage have dropped nearly

1:25:16.000 --> 1:25:19.160
<v Speaker 1>ten percent each since Rex Burkehead came back, and their

1:25:19.280 --> 1:25:22.880
<v Speaker 1>numbers have dwindled. But this is a bottom six run

1:25:22.960 --> 1:25:25.799
<v Speaker 1>defense of the Texans that just got crushed by Marlon

1:25:26.200 --> 1:25:29.320
<v Speaker 1>mark Ingram and Gus Edwards and Jonathan Williams. So I'm

1:25:29.360 --> 1:25:32.240
<v Speaker 1>giving him both C grades. On the other side, Deshaun

1:25:32.280 --> 1:25:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Watson given him a B grade. It's a tough us

1:25:37.520 --> 1:25:41.960
<v Speaker 1>this week. It happened with Lamar Jackson too. Uh. Deshaun Watson,

1:25:42.160 --> 1:25:45.160
<v Speaker 1>mobile quarterback, has five rushing touchdowns. Maybe he can get

1:25:45.200 --> 1:25:47.680
<v Speaker 1>it there. The last quarterback to face the paths to

1:25:47.760 --> 1:25:50.840
<v Speaker 1>have two was over two fifteen yards was Week one.

1:25:51.520 --> 1:25:54.639
<v Speaker 1>The B grade is basically rushing, so I'm giving Hopkins

1:25:54.720 --> 1:25:58.360
<v Speaker 1>and Fuller both C grades. Hopkins gets Gilmour who's shutting

1:25:58.400 --> 1:26:02.000
<v Speaker 1>everyone down, but it's still the Jay Hopkins, Fuller gets mccordy,

1:26:02.080 --> 1:26:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and Fuller is questionable. He might be, he might be limited.

1:26:05.640 --> 1:26:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Mccordy has the speed to run with him, and the

1:26:08.040 --> 1:26:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Paths have only allowed one wide receiver touchdown this year.

1:26:11.520 --> 1:26:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm just hoping Fuller can get deep for one. I

1:26:13.600 --> 1:26:16.000
<v Speaker 1>don't think you should mention because he has that explosive

1:26:16.320 --> 1:26:20.240
<v Speaker 1>high ceiling. I'm benching the other guys though, bad bad,

1:26:20.720 --> 1:26:22.960
<v Speaker 1>bad defense. It's a bad matchup for the Runners. And

1:26:23.040 --> 1:26:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Darren Fells isn't scoring touchdowns anymore. And that's all he

1:26:25.800 --> 1:26:31.439
<v Speaker 1>was giving you before, exactly was scoring touchdowns. Yeah, that's it. Yeah,

1:26:31.479 --> 1:26:34.120
<v Speaker 1>they're dead in this game. Yeah, I think you're probably

1:26:34.200 --> 1:26:37.320
<v Speaker 1>right about that. This is like the second actual team

1:26:37.439 --> 1:26:42.240
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots are playing this season though, Yeah, it's true twice,

1:26:42.400 --> 1:26:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the Giants, the Redskins, Scott. Yes, you've you have put

1:26:47.880 --> 1:26:51.599
<v Speaker 1>together a sabotage drop. And for people and listeners who

1:26:51.640 --> 1:26:55.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know, the sabotage drop is something that we've quasi invented.

1:26:55.360 --> 1:26:57.360
<v Speaker 1>We've been to the term anyway. The ideas you drop

1:26:57.479 --> 1:27:01.360
<v Speaker 1>a high profile player, a player's name familiar with the

1:27:01.439 --> 1:27:04.439
<v Speaker 1>intent for somebody else to do two things. One use

1:27:04.520 --> 1:27:06.600
<v Speaker 1>up a waiver priority or a bunch of fab to

1:27:06.680 --> 1:27:10.440
<v Speaker 1>go get that guy and then go start him mistakenly

1:27:10.479 --> 1:27:12.360
<v Speaker 1>because you know that player is not somebody that you

1:27:12.560 --> 1:27:15.120
<v Speaker 1>you would ever be starting. So who is your sabotage

1:27:15.160 --> 1:27:17.960
<v Speaker 1>drop candidate? You might get shocked by this, but it's

1:27:18.000 --> 1:27:20.840
<v Speaker 1>a guy who forty nine percent of his fantasy points

1:27:20.920 --> 1:27:25.800
<v Speaker 1>came in three weeks. Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers. All three

1:27:25.840 --> 1:27:29.160
<v Speaker 1>of those games were against bottom nine past defenses at

1:27:29.240 --> 1:27:32.639
<v Speaker 1>the time they played. Now the left the Giants this week.

1:27:32.680 --> 1:27:34.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna start him this week and then drop him

1:27:34.760 --> 1:27:38.559
<v Speaker 1>on Monday. Right. The thing this is after the Giants game,

1:27:38.680 --> 1:27:41.719
<v Speaker 1>drop him for fantasy playoffs because Washington has only allowed

1:27:41.840 --> 1:27:44.479
<v Speaker 1>the average of two eighteen yards passing in a total

1:27:44.520 --> 1:27:47.559
<v Speaker 1>of seven touchdowns over the last six weeks. They flipped

1:27:47.560 --> 1:27:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the script on past defense. Then he gets Minnesota. You know,

1:27:50.960 --> 1:27:52.800
<v Speaker 1>in the last time Aaron Rodgers through for more than

1:27:53.520 --> 1:27:57.320
<v Speaker 1>yards in Minnesota seven years ago, the last time he

1:27:57.400 --> 1:28:01.640
<v Speaker 1>threw multiple touchdowns in Minnesota over five years ago. He

1:28:01.760 --> 1:28:05.080
<v Speaker 1>does not play well here and Chicago top five against quarterbacks.

1:28:05.120 --> 1:28:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I know, blow did blow? Yeah, those are baups drop

1:28:12.040 --> 1:28:16.120
<v Speaker 1>the Vikings secondary, dost know. I want to be able

1:28:16.160 --> 1:28:19.719
<v Speaker 1>to start him against Minnesota in that epic which should

1:28:19.720 --> 1:28:21.880
<v Speaker 1>be an epic game. Hey, if you if you love
