11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 3: Is that what you do? I need a picture of

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: that this week? Hands up there? You hit your hands

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 3: one of the two? Yeah, you need to post that

14
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 3: each week. Which one you are?

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: Okay? Well, I got too many fantasy teams. I'm probably

16
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of both.

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: If you one up, one down, it's like jumping Jackson.

18
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: That's the voice of Scott Fish and making a show

19
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: number two appearance. Thort Nystrom.

20
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, how are you guys doing?

21
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: Very excited? If you've got a few rostered and started

22
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: Kadarius Tony or we're here to help. Yes, Oops, a

23
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: little Jamior Gibbs regret in there too, mixed in. Well,

24
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: we won't spend a ton of time on the game

25
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: that already happened. We're gonna break down fifteen matchups in

26
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: this show, Fantasy Football Weekly style, with letter grades on

27
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: every meaningful player. We'll give you three player well nine

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: total players upon me. You can take a chance. We'll

29
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: answer three tough questions, and we'll play premature speculation where

30
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: we give you players to pick up now that everybody

31
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: else is going to try to pick up next week,

32
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: but they're already on your team.

33
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: Nice, we love it.

34
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: Let's jump right in with fifteen matchups to get through.

35
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: Scott Fish Ye Panther's taking on the Falcons. Talk to

36
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: me about a Panthers team that goes to war with

37
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: a new look offense minus two receivers or maybe a

38
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: receiver and a half.

39
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

40
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: So so let's start out the passing game here. I

41
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: have almost everyone on the bench for the Panthers. Adam

42
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: Thielen has mispracticed this week with an injury. Uh, it

43
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: sounds like he's gonna go, but he's a true coin

44
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: flip at this point. H DJ Shark is out with

45
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 3: a hamstring injury. Terres Marshall came off the injury report

46
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: been limited this week with a back injury, but the

47
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: only one that seems like he's going to get a

48
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: full compliment is Jonathan Mingo, who I'm going to talk

49
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: about a little bit next segment.

50
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: Right.

51
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 3: Uh, Bryce Young I have on the bench. I'm not

52
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: going to trust him in his first career game in

53
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: a game that has the lowest projected to total points

54
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: from Vegas.

55
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: And missing tree startings.

56
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: And missing all those weapons he's got. Yeah, and his

57
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: main weapon is a thirty year old tight end who

58
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 3: averages three hundred and fifty yards per yeason per season.

59
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: So uh, I am I am putting herst with a

60
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: segrad though, because despite despite the low volume he's had

61
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: over his career. Uh, the Falcons were fifth worst against

62
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: tight ends last year. Ten of them had sixty five

63
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: plus yards and or a score, and simply due to

64
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: lack of other options in the offense. You almost got it.

65
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: I'm given him a C grade. He's had good connection,

66
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 3: a good rapport with Bryce Young in the preseason, so

67
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: I'm giving a se grade hurst there in the running game.

68
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 3: The only guy I trust, despite recent talk of more

69
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: of a split to keep Sanders healthy, is Miles Sanders

70
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 3: He's the only one I trust in this and I'm

71
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: only given him a see. I know there's video of

72
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: Frank Rake can do stalely talking about the Philly days,

73
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 3: his fifty catch seasons and whatnot.

74
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: I hope you will catch some passes by this game.

75
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: I do too. I hope that's what he gets. The

76
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: Falcons spent years. Do you remember this charge like three

77
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: years in a row being the worst at defending running

78
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: backs against the past. That was a while ago there

79
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: in middle of the pack last year, but even Hubbard

80
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: and Foreman last year had legit like six one hundred

81
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: yard games averaging over four and a half yards per carry.

82
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: Miles Sanders, I'm giving the sea. You could talk me

83
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: into a bee if there wasn't all that splitting talk

84
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: and the fact that the offense is probably gonna have

85
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: trouble moving on the other side. I have a few

86
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: I have a few grades here. I have an a

87
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: for Bijon Robinson starting out his fantasy career, first rounder

88
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: middle of the pack matching man that sounder. I don't know, man,

89
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 3: I don't know middle of the pack matchup for his

90
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 3: first matchup, but he's a likely three down back, great

91
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 3: pass catcher gamescript might might be you know a lot

92
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 3: of running. So Patterson is dealing with a thigh injury

93
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: as well, so if he doesn't go, that's just more

94
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: work for Beijeon. It was probably gonna be anyway. Onto

95
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: the passing game, Desmond Ritter. I got on the bench

96
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: because I watched him play last year. Because our eyeballs,

97
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: Yes I have eyeballs. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

98
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 3: wait under two hundred and twenty five yards passing in

99
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 3: all four starts. Come on, Drake London and Kyle Pitts.

100
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: I'm giving c's two. You probably weren't benching them based

101
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: on where you drafted them. The Panther Panthers, however, allowed

102
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 3: the fourth most yards to wide receivers last year. London

103
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: gets about thirty percent target share. We'll see if that

104
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 3: continues this year. He's also going to see J. C. Horns,

105
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: so I'm not I'm not super psyched about it, but

106
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: I'm still gonna give him a C grade here. In

107
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 3: his four games with Rider last year, ninety five yards,

108
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: seventy yards, ninety six yards, one hundred and twenty yards.

109
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: That's a decent amount of fantasy production. Kyle Pits C

110
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: grade in the home game versus the Panthers last year,

111
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 3: he went five for eighty and a score on nine targets.

112
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 3: He's going to be one of the only options in

113
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: the options in this offense. But you drafted him as

114
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 3: a top seven tight end. You're not mentioning.

115
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: Himyah, you only have a C grade on Kyle Pitts.

116
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, all right.

117
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: Bengals taking on the Browns thore Joe Burrow completely cleared

118
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: off the injury report. Can we start him with confidence?

119
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 6: We can, but I'm going to downgrade him in this

120
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 6: game to a B from the usual A. You mentioned

121
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 6: he's off the injury report with that calf injury, but

122
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 6: I do think that calf injury is going to confine

123
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 6: him to the pocket here.

124
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 4: I also think this is kind of a tough matchup

125
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 4: for Burrow.

126
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 6: Brown's pass defense twelve DVOA last year and allow the

127
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 6: second fewest Fantasy points. Two opposing quarterbacks through for under

128
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 6: two hundred and forty yards both times against the Browns

129
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 6: last year. He's never gone over two hundred and eighty

130
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 6: five yards against them, so this historically top matchup for him.

131
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 6: His receivers here Jamar Chase obviously must start. He's obviously

132
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 6: in a grade T Higgins.

133
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 4: I give him a B in this game.

134
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 6: He's gonna get shadowed by Martin Emerson. It's a decent

135
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 6: but not a great matchup for Higgins, but he's obviously

136
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 6: going to get the volume there. The volume is also

137
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 6: the reason to play Joe Mixon here.

138
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: He's going to get that.

139
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 6: But I think this is a tougher matchup for Mixing

140
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 6: than it might appear on the surface. People remember Cleveland's

141
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 6: run defense with terrible last year, finished twenty sixth, but

142
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 6: I think that's going to be a lot better this year,

143
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 6: after you hire Jim Schwartz and after you remade your

144
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 6: defensive front. There, the Browns signed Delvin Tomlinson and Shelby Harris,

145
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 6: both top forty defensive tackles and run defense last year.

146
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 6: Also Zadarius Smith, who was twenty six in run defense

147
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 6: amongst edges.

148
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 4: So I have to give mix And a B in

149
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 4: that one.

150
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 6: Moving to the Browns, the Browns have said all off

151
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 6: season they want to pass more here. I'm going to

152
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 6: give DeShawn Watson a great B in this game. The

153
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 6: Bengals cover two defense wants to take away the deep stuff, keep.

154
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 4: Everything in front of it.

155
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 6: Last year, the Cincinnati pass defense allowed the third fewest

156
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 6: fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. I do think this is

157
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 6: a bounce back opportunity for Watson if important caveat if

158
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 6: he can effectively attack the intermediate area, amark.

159
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 4: So we'll go to his receivers, Amari Cooper.

160
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 6: I give him a c here because, as you guys know,

161
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 6: should do be a woozia is back now off that

162
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 6: ACL very underrated player.

163
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 4: You go back to the last full.

164
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 6: Season that he had twenty twenty one a WUZI A

165
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 6: shadowed six different times. In four of those six games,

166
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 6: he held the opposing wide receiver one under fifty receiving yards.

167
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 6: So I have to downgrade Cooper in his first game

168
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 6: with Watson here the receiver though that I'm upgrading in

169
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 6: his first game with Dishall Watson, mister Elijah Moore, because

170
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 6: I think they're going to have a lot of success

171
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 6: attacking the slot, attacking the intermediate area here. I give

172
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 6: Elijah Moore an a grade in this game. Wow Wow

173
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 6: ran seventy five percent of his routes from the slot

174
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 6: in the preseason. That is obviously what he's done since college,

175
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 6: that's what he's going to be here. And I think

176
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 6: this is a Nikky Austin matchup for him against Mike

177
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 6: Calton the slot. On the other side, last year, the

178
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 6: Bengals gave up the tenth highest receiving yards per game

179
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 6: to opposing slots while seeing the eighth fewest slot targets

180
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 6: per game. That team stinks at defending the slots when

181
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 6: they get targeted there. For that reason too, I have

182
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 6: to give David and djoku in eight great This is

183
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 6: a great matchup for Djoku too.

184
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 3: How about a positivity How you beat.

185
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 6: The Cincinnati defense. It's with slot wide receivers in the

186
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 6: slot tight end. They're better against the outside receivers obviously

187
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 6: taken away the deep stuff whatnot. Last year in Djoku

188
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 6: only played versus the Bengals one time, with Deshaun Watson.

189
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 6: In that game, nine targets, seven receptions, fifty nine yards

190
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 6: end a touchdown.

191
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 4: I really like in Djoku this week.

192
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 6: Nick Chubb is an obviously must start every week, but

193
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 6: I got it downgrade him to a be here.

194
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 4: Okay. Last year, the Bengals.

195
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 6: Run defense allowed the sixth fewest explosive run routes, the

196
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 6: second lowest misstackles forced per attempt, and they returned their

197
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 6: entire defensive line. Last year, Nick Chubb fifty six percent

198
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 6: of his runs were on gap schemes. The Cincinnati run

199
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 6: defense is really good against that stuff. They love the

200
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 6: second lowest yards per carry on gap scheme runs at

201
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 6: three point six. Chubb is obviously matchup proof, but I

202
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 6: had to ding him from the eight of the B

203
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 6: for that reason.

204
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: All right, wow, this is you're coming up bold swinging. Yeah,

205
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: eight grades and Ndjoku and Elijah Moore.

206
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that Elijah Moore thing. I looked at one of

207
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 3: my lineups and I'm like, I'm gonna swap him out

208
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 3: for Skymore, get sky Moore, and it won't work. It's

209
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: not working for me.

210
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: That site must be broken.

211
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: I know, I might contact the commissioner. Get sky Moore

212
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: out of there.

213
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: Bucks take on the Vikings. I'm gonna start with the

214
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: Buccaneers wide outs. Mike Evans a potentially very big game

215
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: coming from him, and I've got an A grade sitting

216
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: on him. Because the Vikings are trotting out a very

217
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: inexperienced set of outside cornerbacks. They're gonna start rookie Makai

218
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: Blackman and sophomore A Caleb Evans who have a combined

219
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: two NFL starts and they've seen it combined twenty two

220
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: NFL targets. That's it last year Evans A Caleb. This

221
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: is Evans versus Evans matchup. By the way, A Caleb

222
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: Evans only played one side of the field, and if

223
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: they do that again, Evans can go to the other

224
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: side of the where he'll see Makai Blackman, where he

225
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: enjoys a six inch fifty three pounds size advantage. So

226
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: Mike Evans physically dominating Mackai Blackman when at the time

227
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: they see each other A grade for him. Chris Godwin

228
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: gets a B grade. Playing mostly from the slot, I

229
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: think we'll most often see the Vikings most seasoned cornerback

230
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy. Last year. Murphy allowed per game averages of

231
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: I'm very modest thirty nine yards and point three touchdowns

232
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: per game. Solid, not spectacular. Godwin will periodically move outside

233
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: with strong matchups out there. When he does. I like

234
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: Godwin's opportunity here B grade for him, And if I've

235
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: got a B grade on Godwin and Evans, I've got

236
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: B grad and Godwin to a on Evans. I've got

237
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: to have a B gran on Baker Mayfield. This is

238
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: week one, might be the most positive matchup for Baker

239
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: Mayfield's entire season. Vikings finished thirty first in passing yards

240
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: allowed last year, twenty eighth and fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks,

241
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: and they overhauled all their cornerbacks as I mentioned, so

242
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: be a totally new defensive scheme. There could be some disorganization,

243
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: some chaos, and the Vikings secondary Baker Mayfield a nice

244
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: plug and playoffs for you. Let's go to one of

245
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: the buccaneer wide receiver. I'm just gonna mention briefly, Trey Palmer,

246
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: their rookie. He's gonna be on the field a lot

247
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: more than I think people realize. And on paper, this

248
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: is a really strong matchup in DFS and you're looking

249
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: for like your three thousand dollars dart throw. Trey Palmer

250
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: might be that guy, but I can't give him a

251
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: letter grade until we get a better look at him.

252
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to the running backs. Rashad White

253
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: B grade only one career game with more than thirteen carries,

254
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: which he turned into one hundred and five yards in

255
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: that game, and he's gonna get more than thirteen carries here,

256
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: so I like that part of it. Vikings run defense

257
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: was decent last year, but they've had two key interior

258
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,599
Speaker 1: defensive losses running linebacker Eric Kendrickson defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson,

259
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: who Thorge just mentioned a moment ago. White's a solid receiver,

260
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: snaring ninety percent of his targets last year, and as

261
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: a starter, White average four catches per game. The Vikings

262
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: give the tenth most running back receptions last year, so

263
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: I think in totality, Rashad White looking at a nice game,

264
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: B grade for him.

265
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield as a heck of a history if throwing

266
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 3: a running backs too.

267
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's that rookie running back Sean Taylor is a

268
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: fascinating prospect. But we're gonna take a wait and see

269
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: approach and just see how much he gets on the

270
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: field in this game. Let's go to the Viking side.

271
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson obvious a. I also have some optimism for

272
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison. Kevin O'Connell may choose to establish Addison early,

273
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: I think, just to force defenses to have to play

274
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson a little more fairly down the stretch. The

275
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: Bucks have one good corner Jamel Dean, who plays the

276
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: right side of the field only so he's avoidable by Addison,

277
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: and then he got He's got lineups against Carlton Davis

278
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: and d Delaney. Those are positive cornerback matchups for Addison.

279
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: I think you can you can move him into a

280
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: flex position as a starter this week for Jordan Addison.

281
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 3: Agreed even better call I'm now I'm gonna take skuy

282
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 3: more of Jordan Addison. Love it.

283
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: DJ Hockinson B grade. Bucks were NFL average tight end

284
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: against tight ends last year, but they did a good

285
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: job against some really good tight ends. They put George

286
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: Kittle and Mark Andrews on dud games, and in the

287
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: second half of last year, the Bucks allowed no tight

288
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: end to top thirty four yards. That's it.

289
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: That's a low mark.

290
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: That is a lowmark. Levonte David's an elite coverage linebackers.

291
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: So just the B grade on TJ. Hockinson. So if

292
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: I've given out AB's and C grades to Kirk Cousins receivers,

293
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: tells you I do like him.

294
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 3: Here.

295
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: The Bucks allowed the second most passing touchdowns last year

296
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: twenty nine, almost every non backup quarterback through multiple scores

297
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: against Tampa. Here, I've got an A grade on Kirk Cousins.

298
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: And then lastly, let's talk about Alexander Madison. Dalvin Cook

299
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: leaves behind the third most carries and the seventh most

300
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns from inside the five yard line. Also gone

301
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: Adam Thielen and all of his receiving touchdowns from up close.

302
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: So I like Madison to score in this game. Probably

303
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: Tampa only gave up seven rushing touchdowns all year, which

304
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: is impressive, But I just think through sheer, volume and opportunity,

305
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: Madison should be fine. And a B grade for Alexander

306
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: Madison in this game ty channeleral factor and at some

307
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: point but not enough that I think we're going to

308
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: give him a start here when we come back. Three

309
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: tough questions for our panel of experts. See if you

310
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: can go three and zero, and it's not too late

311
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: to join a guillotine league, you can still do it

312
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: Thursday night, players count, don't draft, do not draft Cadarius

313
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: Tony on your guillotine league.

314
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 4: D h A Man.

315
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll skip that altogether and we'll talk a little

316
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: bit more about those Chiefs receivers. When we come back

317
00:14:37,800 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Football Weekly, take a chance on me nine

318
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: players not normally in your starting lineup. These are all

319
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: guys that you may be able to pick up off

320
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: the waiver wire or take off your benches and give

321
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: a start to this week. In particular, we begin at

322
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback position in Scott Fish.

323
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going with a guy who I think will

324
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: have no trouble this year beating his total amount of

325
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: toilets in his house. It's Russell Wilson. I'm going with

326
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 3: him against the Raiders who allowed the fourth moost yards

327
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 3: to QBS last year. It's already a decent spot. They

328
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 3: ranked thirty first in past DVOA. PFF has them as

329
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: the third worst ranked secondary entering the year. Wilson went

330
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: for two thirty seven and two scores and two forty

331
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: seven against him last year. I think it's just good

332
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 3: spot for him.

333
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: All right, Russell Wilson, you take a chance with me

334
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: quarterback Thor.

335
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Derek Carr against the Titans.

336
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 6: Derek Carr been struggling the last couple of years with

337
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 6: Josh McDaniels.

338
00:15:58,680 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 4: I don't think too highly.

339
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 6: A Josh McDaniels is offensive, vacuum and red, particularly on

340
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 6: the deep bot.

341
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 4: Derek Carr struggled the last.

342
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 6: Couple of years, but if you go back to twenty twenty,

343
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 6: Derek Carr was number two in PFF deep passing grade

344
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 6: and this is a great matchup for him to get

345
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 6: back on track deep. The Titans were dead last and

346
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 6: deep passing defensive DVA last year and allowed the fourth

347
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 6: most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. I also think the

348
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 6: game script here, it's gonna skew pass heavy and aggressive

349
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 6: without Alvin Kamara.

350
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 4: Derek Carr gets back on track here.

351
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: I gotta go with yes, that's right. We knew, Sam Howell,

352
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: we knew it was coming.

353
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: Ye.

354
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know some of you want to take away

355
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: and see approach, but not with the Cardinals on the schedule.

356
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: They were a bottom ten fantasy pass defense last year

357
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: and they looked like they're going to be quite a

358
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: bit worse this year with the defection of key cornerback

359
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy. Arizona expected to start cornerbacks Marco Wilson in

360
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: sixth round rookie Ki Trell Clark, and the safety position

361
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: isn't any better with Buddha Baker and Jalen Thompson, neither

362
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: of them finished his NFL starter worthy safeties by PFF

363
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: and coverage last year. Sam Howells got wheels and the

364
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: only mobile quarterback to face Arizona last year Jalen Hurts,

365
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: who rolled up sixty one rushing yards and two scores

366
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. You know, new offensive coordinator Eric the

367
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: Enemy faced Arizona last year in Week one, schemed up

368
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes for five touchdowns. I'm just saying, let's.

369
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 3: Go to did Patrick Mahomes just do that? Because that's

370
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 3: just Patrick?

371
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: I hear he's pretty good. Sam Howells my gud. Let's

372
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: go to the running back position, Scott.

373
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: I am going with Zach Sharbonnay. He's the pass catching back,

374
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 3: which you already like in a Carrol offense. It's going

375
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 3: to run a lot. Ken Walker has had a groin

376
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 3: injury for the last a long time. It went away

377
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: and then it came back. It was the same groin though,

378
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 3: just multiple interests one groyd, but it popped back up

379
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 3: at the end of the week. He's not on the

380
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 3: injury report right now, but I wouldn't I wouldn't be

381
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: surprised if they're a little cautious with him. Go a

382
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 3: little light. It's a great game script where they should

383
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 3: be leading the whole game, where sharp Knick can get

384
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 3: some work and Walker can get some rest.

385
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: Touchdown, I'm calling a touchdown for Zach sharbonnay cool. All right, Sorry,

386
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: you're take a chance on me running.

387
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 6: Back deep cutt here, I'm going Kenny Gainwell against the Patriots.

388
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 4: The Eagles backfielder right now.

389
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 6: It has four guys co listed as running back, one

390
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 6: which I haven't seen within college.

391
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 4: You know, when I with the college depth charts, they

392
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 4: always do that. I haven't seen that in the NFL.

393
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 6: The Patriots do have a strong run defense, but this

394
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 6: is the topical point as far as Gainwell goes. The

395
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 6: Patriots struggle against receiving backsh tenth highs yards per reception

396
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 6: allowed last year to running backs. Gainwell's receiving utility, I

397
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 6: think is what gets him involved here. We just need

398
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 6: one screen pass touchdown and we're good there. I think

399
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 6: in the second half some of these guys are going

400
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 6: to get more run. So I think Kenny Gainwell is

401
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 6: a streaming option in deeper leagues.

402
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's time for Tank big speeding. Yes, he

403
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: goes up against Indianapolis. I look, I know again, it's

404
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 1: tough to start a rookie never seen before, but he's

405
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: coming off a phenomenal preseason in which he played with

406
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: the starters. He looked like the best runner on the team,

407
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: honestly led the NFL in explosive runs and caught the ball.

408
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 3: Well.

409
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, what more do you want from Tank Bigsby?

410
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: He looks ready here. And last year's Colts NFL average

411
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: and run defense. They made no offseason moves to materially

412
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: improved that run defense. They allowed the fifth most running

413
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: back receptions last year and thirty nine receiving yards per game.

414
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: I see Bigsby getting most of that this in this game.

415
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: Last year, in this matchup, the Jaguars had to resort

416
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: to Trevor Lawrence scoring two goal line touchdowns after Travis

417
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: Etn and James Robinson got stuffed Jacksonville. It's got a

418
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: better option at the goal line this year, and it

419
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: is Tank Biggsby. Yes, baby, let's bring it on right

420
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: here in Week one.

421
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 3: All right, Scott did that with hell too.

422
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: Green. Let's go to the wide receiver position. Is your take?

423
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: A chance to me a player here.

424
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 3: I am going with six foot two two and twenty

425
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 3: five pound rookie Jonathan Mingo on the outside there for

426
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts. All right, sorry, not the Indiapolis coast.

427
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 3: Let's try care a lot of Panthers. Uh. With Adam

428
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 3: Thielen missing practice and being and having that ankle injury

429
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 3: that could act up again. DJ chark out arras Marshall

430
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 3: with a back injury. He's the only one locked into

431
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: a definite role in the preseason. He ran with the

432
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: ones the whole time on Bryce Young's thirty one drop

433
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: backs in preseason, he ran a round on twenty nine

434
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 3: of them. He's in there, so pencil him, man, I'm

435
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 3: giving I actually gave him a C grade for this, all.

436
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: Right, se grade? Yeah, all right, Jonathan Mina could be

437
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: a B if they're okay, you're taking chance to be

438
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver thor.

439
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 6: I know you're gonna like this one charge. I'm going

440
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 6: with Rashid Shahed against the Titans. I heard some of

441
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 6: the resons before with Carr, but Shahid had the growing

442
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 6: injury earlier in Campany is not listed on the Week

443
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 6: one injury reports that were good in that regard. The

444
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 6: Titans last year led the NFL with twenty five point

445
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 6: nine fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers, and as

446
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 6: I mentioned before, they struggled defending the deepa with Shahed

447
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 6: not injured anymore, that's what we're looking at. Last year,

448
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 6: Shahed number four yards route per running the entire NFL

449
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 6: on go routes. Yeah, Derek Carr is going to be

450
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 6: targeting this guy deep. The Titans only did one thing

451
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 6: in this offseason to address their struggling secondary. They signed

452
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 6: Sean Murphy Bunning, who is decent covering out of the slot,

453
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 6: but he has always struggled on the perimeter over his career.

454
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 6: Shaheed's going to stack that guy early and often in

455
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 6: this game.

456
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: We've given you two young wide receivers so far, and

457
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: take a chance at me. And here comes number three,

458
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Green Bay wide receiver Jaden Reid yea perfect

459
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: spot for a rookie making his first start. He runs

460
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 1: mostly from the slot, where he's going to face off

461
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: against Bear's cornerback Kyler Gordon, who gave up an opposing

462
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: passer rating of one hundred and ten. Chicago allowed the

463
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: ninth most fantasy points to slot receivers. Last year, Reid

464
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: was highly productive at Michigan State. As you know, well

465
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: Thor yep, smaller, he's not going to break tackles, but

466
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: he's got some special trades, particularly after the catch, and

467
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: he makes some acrobatic off bounce catches that should translate

468
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 1: to the NFL. Jaden Reid in a game without Christian

469
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: Watson for sure, and maybe a gimpy Romeo Dobbs who

470
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: may or may not play, We'll take Jayden Reid to

471
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: have a nice first game of his career like that one.

472
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to the matchups, including Jaguars

473
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: taking on the Colts Scott Fish.

474
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it. Trevor Lawrence, I got an a

475
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 3: grade on here. You probably drafted him as a top

476
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 3: eight quarterback anyway, but it's against a bottom ten coltste

477
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 3: that didn't really improve much their bottom ten against quarterbacks

478
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 3: from a year ago. The defensive backfield entirely made up

479
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 3: of rookies and second year players as well, which Trevor

480
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: Lawrence should have no trouble beating. He's also increased his weapons,

481
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 3: adding Calvin Ridley and that tank Bigsby guy you just mentioned.

482
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: Oh, you know what you're making to make me do?

483
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 3: Oh Man, Calvin Ridley, I gave a B grade. Seems

484
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: like he's back. He was a stud before the suspension.

485
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 3: Remember he played hurt and he was a stud. He

486
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 3: had that foot injury that he was playing on and

487
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 3: putting up all those stats. He should find himself close

488
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 3: to a top twenty four wide receiver this week. In

489
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 3: this matchup, just Ridley's going to be matched up against

490
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 3: second year undrafted free agent Darryl Baker junior, possibly Dallas

491
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 3: Flowers rookie, but it's probably Daryl Baker junior. Dallas Flowers

492
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 3: would of course go over to Christian Kirk, who I

493
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 3: got a C grade on the potential for Lawrence to

494
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 3: shoot this one up, and also just the report that

495
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 3: they had last year. It's a good matchup for both

496
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 3: of them. I have Zay Jones on the bench. Evan

497
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: Ingram had ninety eight targets last year and was absolutely

498
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: huge in many games down the stretch. I do have

499
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 3: a C grade here. He's probably worth it and he's

500
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,959
Speaker 3: probably going to get just enough volume. But I do

501
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,239
Speaker 3: worry how much Ridley is going to take from that.

502
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 3: Of course, Ridley wasn't there last year when Ingram was

503
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 3: racking up all those targets. Travis Etn. I got a

504
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 3: B grade on and I know you're gonna hate that.

505
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 3: I know you're gonna hang it that because you want

506
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 3: Tank bagas V to be an A and Etn to

507
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: be on the bench.

508
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: Yes, my perfect world, but yes you've already.

509
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 3: You've already in tanks. In your talk on Tank mentioned

510
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: to a lot of the points. I'll just add they

511
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 3: were ninth worst against running backs last year and etm

512
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 3: Etn himself had one hundred plus in this very matchup

513
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 3: last year. The Jacks had no problem putting James Robinson

514
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 3: and James Hasty in at times. Though. That's why Tank

515
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 3: Bigsby was your take a chance on me player Cartavius.

516
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 3: Tank Bigsby Cartavius is a great name too.

517
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: What don't it kind of been just cart Bigsby And

518
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: that'd have been pretty cool too. But I know that

519
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: if he were KRT Bigsby, could I do this?

520
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 2: No?

521
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: No, no, nuts.

522
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's let's go over to the Let's go over

523
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 3: to the Indianapolis Colts in the backfield. I don't want

524
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 3: any of them in Week one. I just don't. Zach

525
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 3: moss Is is dinged up. He may play. I don't

526
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 3: know if he's gonna play. But uh, Deon Jackson, he

527
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 3: was productive but not special last year, but it looks

528
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 3: like he might get the start. We all kind of

529
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 3: like Evan Hole here. We think he's the most talented back.

530
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 3: But it might be a little weak one. But it's

531
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 3: week one. It might be a little while till he

532
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 3: gets in. So as long as that's a rotation, and

533
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 3: the coach even said they're going to play the hot hand,

534
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 3: I have him on the bench. In the passing game,

535
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 3: I only have one grade on wide receivers and tight ends,

536
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 3: and that's Michael Pittman. He's the alpha in the offense.

537
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 3: We don't know how this offense is quite going to

538
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 3: run with Anthony Richardson without Jonathan Taylor, but last year

539
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 3: he went thirteen catches for one hundred and thirty four

540
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 3: yards on sixteen targets in this matchup, and that was

541
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 3: Matt Ryan at quarterback. Alec Pearce has had some chemistry

542
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 3: with Anthony Richardson in the preseason. I think it's a

543
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 3: little early, and it's not a game where I think

544
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 3: a lot of points are going to be put up,

545
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 3: so I'd rather have the alpha in a C grade.

546
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: It makes sense so that no Johnny Woods is breaking

547
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: my heart.

548
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 3: No, yeah, I know him out. It's going to be

549
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 3: interesting to see how Josh Downs does in that slot role.

550
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 3: I like that he's going to get a full compliment

551
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 3: of snaps with Johnny Woods out, maybe he gets a

552
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 3: little more work, but I have him on the bench.

553
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 3: That brings me to Anthony Richardson. Even if the passing

554
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 3: is you know how much I love him, You love them.

555
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 3: But even if the passing isn't there, if it's more

556
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 3: fields in field, can I use field dad, Yes, for sure,

557
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 3: field deed. If it's more fields, we're looking at maybe

558
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 3: what one hundred and fifty two hundred yards in a

559
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 3: matchup like this, maybe he scores a touchdown, but I

560
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 3: will guarantee you based on the designed runs in the preseason,

561
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 3: I will guarantee Anthony Richardson gets at least six points

562
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 3: on the ground at least all right, so sixty plus

563
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 3: yards or a touchdown. Absolutely that he ran so many

564
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 3: design runs in the in the in the preseason, and

565
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 3: without Jonathan Taylor he might get that goal line work.

566
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 3: We don't know what's going to happen yet. I will say,

567
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 3: if he does not get that six fancy points guaranteed.

568
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: On the ground, you may get nothing.

569
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 3: I would know that that's true. But I will personally

570
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 3: not show my face in the studio next week. I

571
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 3: won't come on the show.

572
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: Thank you.

573
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 3: That's I will not come in.

574
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: I have to face the music.

575
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 3: Yes. Also, if he does get it, and I'm correct,

576
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 3: I will, I will stay home and celebrate. That's what

577
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 3: I'll do.

578
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: Next week Titans take on the Saints thor we get

579
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: our first look at DeAndre Hopkins as a Titan. What

580
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: do you think of this passing game?

581
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 6: In this game, I'm gonna give Hopkins in this one,

582
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 6: you know, drawing Marshawn Laddimer, Obviously, it's a tough matchup

583
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 6: for him. I'm gonna give Hopkins a B though, because

584
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 6: he's gonna get peppered with wide receiver one targets.

585
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 4: We know that last year.

586
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 6: You look at Hopkins' win rate against man, against zone,

587
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 6: and incontested situations, those all suggest that he was still

588
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 6: a low end wide receiver one in the NFL. So

589
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 6: I think he's sort of a solid fantasy option in

590
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 6: his debut, I'm going to give him a be. Ryan Tannehill,

591
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 6: I have to give him a SE. I do think

592
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 6: he was better last year than people think. He was

593
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 6: still number nine in accurate throw rate, and now he's

594
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 6: got the best pass catchers of his entire career to

595
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 6: work with in the NFL. But this is not the

596
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 6: week to go crazy on him against Saints pass defense

597
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 6: finished number six dv away in the NFL last year.

598
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 6: Treylon Brooks is a guy that I'm bullish on over

599
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 6: the course of the season, but not necessarily for this game.

600
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 6: I give him a grade of B, mostly because he's

601
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 6: higher than I thought. Oh I'm sorry to see I come.

602
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 6: That makes more sense for Taylor Burtin mostly I'll give

603
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 6: him a B in most of the other games this year,

604
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,959
Speaker 6: but in this one he's got a lone Taylor across

605
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 6: from him. I think that's a tough matchup for Berks.

606
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 6: We're gonna give him a SEA. I give chick a

607
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 6: kon Quo a bench grade. I would not recommend him

608
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 6: this week. The Saints pass defense, sort of like the

609
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 6: New England Patriot one, is notorious for stifling tight end

610
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 6: production on the other side. Last year, New Orleans allowed

611
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 6: the second least Fantasy points to opposing tight ends, so

612
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 6: I got to keep Chick on the bench. The guy

613
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 6: who I think this is an awesome matchup for on

614
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 6: the Titans offense is Derrick Henry.

615
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 4: Great a.

616
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 6: Obviously, he's a mus start every week, but this week

617
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 6: is one of the best matchup you're going to have

618
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 6: all year. Henry finished fifth in the NFL and gap

619
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 6: concept runs last year. The Saints allowed the fourth highest

620
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 6: success rate against gap runs last year, and then over

621
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 6: the offseason, New Orleans just stuck band aids on their

622
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 6: hemorrhaging defensive front that has not gotten any better. Derrick

623
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 6: Henry is going to have a huge opener as far

624
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 6: as the Saints. Derek Carr and Rashid Shahid earlier this

625
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 6: or before in this segment, they were both both might

626
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 6: take a chance on you guys. Yeah, both those guys

627
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 6: I have B grades on. We're going to continue along

628
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 6: the same narrative here though with Chris Olave, who I

629
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 6: give an a grade two in this matchup. Recall that

630
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 6: I said how bad the Titans were against the deep ball. Yes,

631
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 6: Chris Olave, awesome deep ball guy. Last year, the Titans

632
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 6: allowed the most receiving yards end touchdowns on goal routes

633
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 6: last year. Chris Olave number twelve and deep targets in

634
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 6: the NFL and number fourteen in yards per route run

635
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 6: on goal routes. We got to give him an a

636
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 6: and Christian Fulton, the guy across from him, not very good.

637
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 6: One hundred two point four NFL q be raiding against

638
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 6: on targets with only two passes broken up last year.

639
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 4: Not great.

640
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: How do you go a whole season only break up

641
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: two passes.

642
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 4: That stuff and he gave up five touchdowns.

643
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: It's cuzzy.

644
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 6: The guy I'm fading in that passing game is Michael Thomas.

645
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 6: I'm going to keep him on the bench. Actually in

646
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 6: this one. I can't trust Michael Thomas until I see

647
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 6: it over an entire regular season game. Thirty year old

648
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 6: question mark with ten appearances over the last three years.

649
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 6: This game, you know, I mentioned I think the game

650
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 6: script is going to be more aggressive with the downfield

651
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 6: shots and everything else like that. And that's not Michael Thomas.

652
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 6: Not Michael Thomas. He's an intermediate guy coming out of

653
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 6: the slot. And Roger McCreery he's not the most athletic guy,

654
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 6: but is the most physical guy. Is going to be

655
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 6: in a fistfight with Michael Thomas the entire game. Maybe

656
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 6: not the funnest game for Michael Thomas to come back

657
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 6: in this one. I need to see him get through

658
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 6: a full game. The other guy that I like, though

659
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 6: is Juwan Johnson. I give him a B. I was

660
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 6: more pessimistic about him earlier in camp with they signed

661
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 6: Foster Moreau right and I thought Foster is a better

662
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 6: receiver than Troutman, certainly the guy that they shipped out.

663
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 6: But Juwan Johnson was getting hype all camp long. Obviously

664
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 6: he's going to be the primary receiving tight end again.

665
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 6: I think he's going to get more targets, more snaps

666
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 6: this year. Titans last year allowed the most receiving yards

667
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 6: to opposing tight ends and the third most receptions to

668
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 6: opposing tight ends.

669
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 4: Very very good matchup for Juwan Johnson.

670
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 6: I actually have him as a top twelve fantasy tight

671
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 6: end this coming week.

672
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: I like it.

673
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 6: And then as far as the Saints run game, obviously

674
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 6: everyone will recall Elvin Kamara is suspended and it does

675
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 6: not look like Kendray Miller will play, So if nothing else.

676
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 4: Jamal Williams came over from the lines.

677
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 6: He is going to get the volume, but it's still

678
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 6: a sort of a tough matchup for him, so I

679
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 6: give him a great sea on this.

680
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 3: The volume C.

681
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 6: The volume C yes, outside the top fifty yards per

682
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 6: touch last year for Williams and the Titans, the number

683
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 6: one run defense DVOA last season.

684
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: When we come back, another block of matchups for you,

685
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: including Arizona Cardinals, a lot of commanders that we like

686
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: a lot, and some sneaky plays. We'll tell you about

687
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: those when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly.

688
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: All right, good job that one, or.

689
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. We've got other block of

690
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: matchups for you. You gotta get this Cardinals game over

691
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: with at some point. Let's just tear off the Vandy

692
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: and get this thing done. There's really not a lot

693
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: to like here, we believe all so. They haven't said

694
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: as of this taping who the quarterback is going to be.

695
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: We think it's gonna be Josh Dobbs. We'll fly in.

696
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: We'll find out later. You're not starting him, obviously. Let's

697
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: go to the running game. And really, the only guy

698
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: you care a lot about is James Connor with little

699
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: threat from the passing game, I think James Connor gets

700
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: a lot of defensive attention from the Commanders. Washington was

701
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: a very good run defense last year, and particularly down

702
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: the stretch final eight games. They allowed just three touchdowns

703
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: to running backs ground or air, and all season only

704
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb and Derrick Henry managed to top eighty seven yards,

705
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: and those are far better running runners and far better

706
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: offenses than this Arizona one. Washington was also an elite

707
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: defense against pass catching backs, only one runner top thirty

708
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: three receiving yards. I can only muster a C grade

709
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: for James Connor in this one. And the only guy

710
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: you care about to Marquis Brown, and tragically, he's got

711
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: a hamstring, so I struggle to recommend him either by

712
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: a mile the best of the Cardinals receivers, but the Cardinals,

713
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, the Commander's secondary garbage last year. They've added

714
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: first and second round rookies at the cornerback position who

715
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: might help. So maybe garbage time here keeps Brown startable.

716
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him the SE grade both the hamstring injury.

717
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: Any play could be his last, and you're really risking

718
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: a lot, so start him at your own warning. A

719
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: C grade on Marquise Brown. Okay, let's go to the

720
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: commander side, beginning with Sam Howell. Might take a chance

721
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: on me quarterback. We love Sam Howell in this one,

722
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: and I like his receivers. Johan Dotson, love his chances

723
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: for a big game hard work. No, I can't go

724
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: double a r Mark. I can't do it. Dotson is

725
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: eric b Enemy's field stretching receiver, averaging a crazy fourteen

726
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: point seven yards per reception last year. Those fifth best

727
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: in the league, and last year Arizona allowed the most

728
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: yards after the catch. Big place coming for Johan Dotson

729
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: potentially here. Cornerback Antonio Hamilton allowed a one hundred plus

730
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: passer rating in four of his six starts. So I

731
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: like the opportunity for Johan Dotson in this game. I've

732
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: got a B grade on him. Got a C grade

733
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: on Terry McLaurin. I would like the matchup more. The

734
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: turf toe looks to be okay, but man, those are

735
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: tricky receivers. Yes, they can limit your acceleration, they can

736
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: limit your cutting. I think those are two important factors

737
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: in this game. So I got a C grade on

738
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: him here It could very well be the Commanders get

739
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: ahead and then just don't pass that much. Maybe so,

740
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 1: and maybe they rest McLaurin and they rest his toe.

741
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: So I can only muster a se grade on McLaurin,

742
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: the guy I love and who you should with all

743
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: of these tight end injuries. Yes, go get Logan Thomas.

744
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 3: I started him in place at Kelsey in the league night.

745
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 3: I'm super happy about it.

746
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: It's silly done. I've heard tight ends can thrive into

747
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: Eric Beta be offense. I've heard he can scheme open

748
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: a tight end or two. Last year, the Cardinals allowed

749
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: the most tight end receptions and the most tight end touchdowns.

750
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas is your official FFW.

751
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 3: I love how we have one of those every year,

752
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 3: like the Giants were that one year the Cardinals. I

753
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 3: love that there's one that just cannot.

754
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: Beat up on every year.

755
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely for streamings so easy. So I've got a.

756
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: B grade and Logan Thomas position adjusted, he'd be an

757
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: A at just the tight end position given all the

758
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: other injuries there, Let's go to the running backs for

759
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson. If it's not gonna happen now, when I

760
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: didn't love the version I saw last year. But you

761
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 1: gotta get better here. Cardinals ranked twenty seventh and run

762
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: defense by Pro Football Focus. Last year. They allowed the

763
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: third most fantasy points to opposing runners. There's no obvious

764
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 1: improvements in the defense for the Cardinals. Let's try Brian

765
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: Robinson with a B grade here, and let's consider Antonio Gibson.

766
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: If you believe he's gonna take the Jeric McKinnon role

767
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: for Eric b enemy as a pass catcher, this might

768
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 1: be his best opportunity all year. Cardinal's destroyed by runners

769
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: through the air last year, allowing the most running back receptions,

770
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: for the most running back receiving yards, and the second

771
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,720
Speaker 1: most running back receiving touchdowns. So Antonio Gibson nice player

772
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: here as well, will give him a C grade. Let's

773
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: go to our next game, that is the Raiders taking

774
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: on the Broncos.

775
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 3: Scott, Yeah, on the Raiders side, I don't like much

776
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 3: in the passing game. I don't like this offense. I

777
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 3: don't like a Jimmy g Led offense against a Broncos

778
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 3: team that was third best against quarterbacks last year, second

779
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 3: best against wide receivers. The only passing game option I

780
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 3: am even starting in this one is DeVante Adams, and

781
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 3: he's only getting a B grade. He had a great

782
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 3: game last year, one hundred plus yards in both games

783
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 3: against the Broncos last year, but that was with Derek

784
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 3: Carr slightly different offense, and this year he's going to

785
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 3: be going up against pat certain Patzertan. I just I

786
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 3: don't think it's a good spot for him. I've got

787
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 3: a B grade on him, with an A grade though,

788
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs with his new one year deal, I think

789
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 3: they're gonna do to Josh Jacobs what they did to

790
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs last year. Yes, a ton of work won't

791
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 3: make Jimmy g do much. Last year he had one

792
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy five yards and two scores in the

793
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 3: first matchup and one hundred and sixty yards in the

794
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 3: second matchup. Now, the pass game isn't worthy of being feared,

795
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 3: so that might bring those numbers down a little bit.

796
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 3: But I got an A grade on Josh Jacobs. Over

797
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 3: on the other side, Russell Wilson was might take a

798
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 3: chance on me player. I mentioned how much they allowed

799
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 3: to quarterbacks and wide receivers last year, how their defense

800
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 3: is thirty first past dy of Voa, and they have

801
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 3: the third worst secondary entering this year, according to Pro

802
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 3: Football Focus. So I have some grades out here. I

803
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 3: got a B grade on Sutton. You could talk me

804
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 3: into an A, but a B grade on Sutton. When

805
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 3: Judy was out last year, Sutton had huge target shares

806
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 3: near thirty percent. He went five for fifty two to one,

807
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 3: and five for eighty in this matchup. Judy missed both

808
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 3: of those games. We'll see if Judy plays in this one.

809
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 3: If I have Judy on my team, I am not

810
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 3: starting him. It's a late game. I don't want to

811
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 3: have that be an issue to that something comes up late,

812
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 3: late in the afternoon. I want to make that decision

813
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 3: before the game start. Denzel mams Man. I love Denzel

814
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 3: mams He's one of three healthy options for Russell Wilson.

815
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 3: In college, he only dropped seven balls and most of

816
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 3: his most of his work, a lot of his work,

817
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 3: over third of his work was deep downfield, twenty plus

818
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 3: yard downfield. In fact, he had twenty plus yards per

819
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 3: catch in college over two seasons. He just needs I

820
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 3: got a SE grade. All he needs is one big one.

821
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 3: Marvin Mims Marvin moms C grade. All he needs is

822
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 3: one big one. I'm keeping Dulcinch and Troutman on the bench.

823
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know how this joker role is

824
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 3: gonna work. They were splitting so much in preseason. No thanks.

825
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 3: As far as the run game, Champagne says Javonte Williams

826
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 3: is in for a big role. We'll see if that's true.

827
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 3: He's often used two backs. He's also a liar exactly.

828
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 3: I actually wrote in here I trust him as much

829
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 3: as I trust my five year old stories from kindergarten. So,

830
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 3: given the matchup against the seventh worst d from a

831
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 3: year ago, a team that allows a ton of receptions

832
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 3: and receiving yards to backs a year ago, I have

833
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 3: a B grade on Javonte Williams. You could maybe even

834
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 3: snick sneak in a C grade for some maj Pierryn.

835
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: Ooh okay, let's go to the final matchup of this segment,

836
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers taking on the Steelers. Kenny Pickett coming

837
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: off a very promising preseason thor.

838
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 6: Sure is Yeah, I'm gonna give him a great B

839
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 6: in this one. It's a weird matchup, right. San Francisco

840
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 6: has a pass final defense, but they have that very

841
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 6: good pass rush, So I think Kenny Pickett his utility

842
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 6: in this game HiT's as much about the pass pro

843
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 6: as it is about his performance itself. Yeah, I do

844
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 6: think Darnel Washington helps out with that more twelve personnel

845
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 6: in this game. Darnald Washington one of the best blocking

846
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 6: Titans we've seen come out the past several years. The

847
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 6: forty nine Ers allowed the fourth highest completion rate in

848
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 6: tenth most deep passing yards on deep balls last year,

849
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 6: which brings me into the Steelers wide receivers love George

850
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 6: Pickens in this game. I'm giving George Pickens a greade

851
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 6: of a wow. Deanna Johnson, I'm gonna give him a B.

852
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 6: Pickens and Johnson last year they tied for the team

853
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 6: lead with sixty one goal routes a piece. Johnson was

854
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 6: targeted on thirty four percent of them, Pickens was on

855
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 6: forty one percent. You look at the forty nine Ers

856
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 6: outside cornerbacks Ward six foot one, one ninety eight lenor

857
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 6: five to ten to two to one. Pickens is six

858
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 6: foot three and tire five pounds of dynamite. I think

859
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 6: you're gonna see some mossing going on there with pick

860
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 6: And chucking it up to him deep Friarm with the

861
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 6: tight end there. I don't think it's as good of

862
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 6: a matchup for him. I give him a great see

863
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 6: in this one. San Francisco gave up the twelve fewest

864
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 6: receiving yards at tight ends and eight fewest fantasy points

865
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 6: per game to tight ends last year. I also think

866
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 6: this isn't a very good matchup for Naje. Harris kind

867
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 6: of goes without saying he's got to split the carries

868
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 6: with Jalen Warren, who I got a bench on Warren.

869
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 6: I'm gonna give Nase a see though in this one.

870
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 6: Low end started with this matchup San Francisco. I love

871
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 6: the second fewest rush yards and the lowest explosive run

872
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 6: rate last year.

873
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 4: Very good run defense. Moving on to the forty nine ers.

874
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 6: Yet you have sort of a matchup specific thing for

875
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 6: the wide receivers going on on this side too. Pittsburgh

876
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 6: loves man coverage. They always have I Yuki san Francisco's

877
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 6: man beater, whereas deebo is the zone beater. You can

878
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 6: just look throughout this thing. I UK versus man coverage

879
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 6: was number fourteen last year, and targets per route, per route,

880
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 6: run rate and number nineteen in yards per route run

881
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 6: rate if I can talk percent and two point four

882
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 6: for those two things. Deebo versus man coverage last year

883
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 6: sixteen percent, so fourteen percent lower on target per route

884
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,439
Speaker 6: run rate and one point four yards per route run

885
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 6: That's a full yard less than Auk. So I give

886
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 6: Ayuk and I give Debo a C in this one.

887
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 6: George Kittle is questionable with the groin injury, as you

888
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 6: guys know, I give him a great B. If he plays,

889
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 6: are gonna have to monitor that one. Pittsburgh was sort

890
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 6: of middle of the pack against tight ends last year.

891
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 6: I expect him to be again. Brock Perty, I'm also

892
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 6: going to give him a seed. Last year he did

893
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,240
Speaker 6: not face one pass defense that ranked better than thirteenth

894
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 6: in defensive DVOA against the pass. But I do think

895
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 6: Perty is startable in super flex formats, and then of

896
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 6: course Christian McCaffrey startable week that's obvious. Give him give

897
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 6: him an a here, but if he has a thermonuclear game,

898
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 6: it's got to come through the air as opposed to

899
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,439
Speaker 6: on the ground. Steelers give up the fifth highest yards

900
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 6: per reception to opposing running backs last year, but they

901
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 6: had the third highest stuff rate in the league last year.

902
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: All right, I like it well done. This is uh,

903
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: this is a Steelers offense that I find fascinating. I

904
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 1: believe the addition of Broderick Jones on that offensive line

905
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: has got to help. First rounder there. You mentioned Elephantine

906
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: tight end Darnell Washington in passing, who I'm fascinated by.

907
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: They called him the big O at Georgia because he

908
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: is gigantic and he wore the number zero. I think

909
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a sneaky, a little bit of a

910
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: better receiver than people think. You're not not fantasy startable

911
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: or rosterable, but Darnell Washington.

912
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 3: Is just it's it's good for the offense, you know,

913
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 3: rising tide, raises elboats. You know, maybe that kind of

914
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 3: work will help the whole team.

915
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 6: And if nothing else, is gonna be hard to keep

916
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 6: him off the field because he's a third offensive tackle

917
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 6: for you, just a maller.

918
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 4: But the receiving could come along. Georgia didn't use him much.

919
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 6: There because they have Brock Bowers, one of the best

920
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,720
Speaker 6: receiving tight end prospects we've got the last decade.

921
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: Brock Bauers is going to go in the top ten

922
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: of next year's draft, maybe the top five of next

923
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: year's draft. I mean, he's he is. His NFL potentials unbelievable.

924
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 4: It's different.

925
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, And if Darnell Washington hadn't played behind him, he'd

926
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: probably have been drafted higher. A lot more targets on

927
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: a lot more targets. Yeah. Absolutely. You can still join

928
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: a guillotine league. You know the format works. You start

929
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: with eighteen teams because there's eighteen weeks of the season,

930
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: and instead of playing head to head every week, the

931
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,759

943
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: with you. Thank you for joining us. This is a

944
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: game we like to call three tough questions.

945
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 5: Tough question number one.

946
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: Obviously, every player and every situation is different, but broadly speaking,

947
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: how much should you react to the revelations that will

948
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: emerge from week one? Is it a lot, a little,

949
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: or not at all? We begin with Scott Fish.

950
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we work in an industry where we have

951
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 3: to analyze based on already a small sample size looking

952
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 3: back at last year's seventeen to twenty one data points.

953
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 3: Maybe it's not baseball, right, and week one is the

954
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 3: one of what twenty and it's the most current, it's

955
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 3: the most updated. We've seen how the offenses are schemed.

956
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 3: We've seen how the defenses are schemed. We've seen usage

957
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 3: and snap counts and targets per route run. I mean,

958
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 3: no one wants to get Frisman Jackson, right, that's for sure.

959
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 1: I knew you would mention him.

960
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 3: I will always mention Frisman Jackson with stuff like this

961
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 3: comes up. But it is the most recent data points,

962
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 3: so it's not not at all. I don't know that

963
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 3: it's a lot, because it's only one point. It's it's

964
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 3: if I have to choose between these three, it's a little,

965
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 3: but I'd say it's more like thirty seven percent than

966
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 3: it is like twenty percent. Right, it's a it's a

967
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 3: it's a decent chunk. It's just not a.

968
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: Lot, a lot. Okay, maybe I should have put it

969
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 1: up A lot, some, some or not at all.

970
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:26,479
Speaker 3: I'm going send.

971
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: I'll just changing the question on the foe like a lot,

972
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: some or not at all? Okay.

973
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 5: Four.

974
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: Broadly, how much should you react to the revelations that

975
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: will emerge in Week one? A lot, some or not

976
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: at all?

977
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 6: I would say some, but closer to a lot than

978
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 6: to none. You know, it's like Scott was saying, you

979
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 6: have to make situational assumptions in the preseason when you know,

980
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 6: when you do your draft, everything like that. But you

981
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 6: get finite data points in week one, so that that

982
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 6: piece of the pie heading into Week two I think

983
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 6: is bigger than in any other individual week. You can't

984
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 6: underreact to it like the data you get in week one,

985
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 6: so I'd say closer to a lot.

986
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: There are definitely strong takeaways from week one, especially in

987
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: the cases of pure talent that exposes itself and also

988
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: a lack of talent that exposes itself and teams aren't

989
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 1: hiding things. You really hit on this, Scott. You know

990
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: they're playing to win. I mean, you know they're not

991
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: out like hiding their best players. They're trying to win

992
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 1: games and put their best players in position to win.

993
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: So and I think a lot of times you can

994
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 1: identify the Week one flukes like Carson wentz is four

995
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: touchdown game from Week one of last year, and the

996
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: other thing I think that you can very much take

997
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: away from those mid to late round flyers you were

998
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: hoping we're gonna hit. You can look at and go,

999
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 1: this is not gonna work out last year Week one

1000
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 1: like Michael Carter, rex Burghead, Antonio Gibson, Darryl Henderson all

1001
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: bombed in Week one. Those are all guys that maybe

1002
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: you thought were gonna help you. They didn't help you,

1003
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: And I think you can read into that. I can't

1004
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 1: say a lot because there are misleading things that happened

1005
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 1: in Week one, but we will go with the correct

1006
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: answer of some. But we're as thor as you put it,

1007
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: we're on the a lot side of some.

1008
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 3: Yes. For absolutely Number.

1009
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 5: One tough question number two.

1010
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 1: Should you cut any cheaps wide receivers you may have drafted.

1011
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 1: Let's begin with Thor.

1012
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,919
Speaker 6: Only if his name is Cadarius, Tony, get Cadarius off

1013
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 6: your rosters. I think it's too early to judge on

1014
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 6: the rest. But this is obviously a big stock up

1015
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 6: Game four where she Rice and it is obviously a

1016
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 6: very disappointing development for sky Moore, so he'd be stocked down.

1017
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,479
Speaker 4: But I'm only cutting Cadarius of those guys, all.

1018
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,959
Speaker 1: Right, Scott, are we cutting all of our chiefs wide

1019
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: receivers we may have drafted.

1020
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 3: I think the key point is all and it also

1021
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 3: depends on what's on your waiver wire. Uh so, Ross

1022
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 3: you could probably pick back up later. It seems like

1023
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 3: he's going to be behind people Sky and Tony. I

1024
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 3: think that they're gonna get a lot more chances, and

1025
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 3: we're gonna see a different offense when the number one

1026
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 3: receiving threat is back on the field and they aren't,

1027
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 3: you know, hyper focused on stopping those two. So we're

1028
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 3: gonna see a completely different way that they're going to

1029
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 3: deal with those two receivers. But like Thors said, Rashi, Rice,

1030
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 3: he breaks this all part of your comment because he

1031
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 3: looked decent and I like his long term potential.

1032
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: So you'll know when the question is should you cut

1033
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,760
Speaker 1: all the Chiefs wide receivers you may have drafted? Yeah,

1034
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: this is a different question. Then will any of the

1035
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs wide receivers have like a decent season?

1036
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's not absolutely.

1037
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: That's not the same question because it's possible that one

1038
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 1: of the two, one of the two Chiefs wide receivers

1039
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 1: are going to end up with decent year long stats.

1040
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter if you can't predict when the

1041
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: good games are gonna happen, when the bad games are

1042
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I need to know when can I put

1043
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: Skymore in my lineup? When can I put Rahi Rice

1044
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: in my lineup? On this show? Let me ask you

1045
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: to this, thinking ahead to the rest of the shows

1046
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna do this year. How many times is a

1047
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs receiver going to get a B grade?

1048
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 3: Not often, I've I've been We're years into not wanting

1049
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 3: to start Chiefs wide receivers, like many years into they

1050
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 3: spread around outside of Kelsey. So B grade is right,

1051
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 3: and a B grade's the threshold of confidence. These are

1052
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 3: take a chance on me players most of the season.

1053
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: That's all they are, That's what they're just take a chance.

1054
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 3: Their season, take a chance on me.

1055
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: And I'm including Rashid Rice in this. It's nice that

1056
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: he scored a touchdown, but if that hadn't if that

1057
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: had been a six yard touchdown, if that had been

1058
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: just a six yard catch, sidelines too, he had he

1059
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: had the three catches twenty nine yards. He was only

1060
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: on the field for twenty snaps.

1061
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a problem.

1062
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be the rotation is going to

1063
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: be maddeningly unpredictable, and I gotta start my lineup before

1064
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:40,399
Speaker 1: the game kicks off.

1065
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,399
Speaker 3: So you just want to sabotage drop that Week one.

1066
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: It's not even know if it's a sabotage drop at

1067
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 1: this point.

1068
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 4: But I do.

1069
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: People will pick them up, they will, but I'm dropping

1070
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 1: all Chiefs receivers.

1071
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 5: Tough question number three.

1072
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: All Right, your last chance for a big season long

1073
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:58,760
Speaker 1: prediction right here, The highest scoring player in fantasy football

1074
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: this year will be who Scott?

1075
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 3: So I immediately think quarterback, and you immediately want to

1076
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 3: go to Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes or whatever. I

1077
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 3: just I ever wanted maybe maybe I'm or Jalen Hurts.

1078
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm just a little bored. But I'm gonna go

1079
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 3: a few a few spots deeper and go Justin Herbert.

1080
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 3: Two years ago he went for five k and thirty

1081
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 3: eight touchdowns, five thousand yards and thirty eight touchdowns in

1082
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. Last year, he went for forty seven

1083
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 3: hundred yards and twenty five touchdowns.

1084
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: Hurt down here, hurt down.

1085
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 3: Here most of the season, and without Keenan Allen for

1086
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 3: and Mike Williams for I think auld combined something like

1087
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 3: eleven games between the two of them. He's now got

1088
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 3: Kellen Moore, He's now got a better depth forth receiver

1089
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 3: in Quentin Johnson. I just I can see him being

1090
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 3: a five thousand and forty plus touchdown guy again. Maybe

1091
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 3: run a few more in without being injured. He's my goal.

1092
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:58,720
Speaker 1: Justin air bear all right four, the highest scoring player

1093
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: in fantasy football this year will be who I'm following.

1094
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 6: Fisher's the same route but with a different guy. Lamar

1095
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 6: Jackson for me, I'm going to put him at the top.

1096
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 6: I love him in Todd Monkins's air Raid system, and

1097
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 6: Baltimore finally has good receivers. You go back to when

1098
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson was at louisvo it was spreading the field,

1099
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 6: forcing the defenses to defend deep. He's a very good passer,

1100
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,439
Speaker 6: very underrated. That's when he got all the rushing opportunities.

1101
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 6: I think spreading the field, getting those guys out there,

1102
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 6: that's it's.

1103
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 4: Also going to open up Lamar Moore running there as well.

1104
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: All right, I love the addition as a flowers. I

1105
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: think that will help that off starts a lot. That

1106
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: neither of those are the correct answer though, that's bad. Yeah.

1107
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: In ESPN scoring system, Jalen Hurts scored over one hundred

1108
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: Fantasy points, more than any running back, wide receiver, a

1109
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: tight end, but still behind Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.

1110
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: But here's where Jalen Hurts is going to be even

1111
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: better this year. A the rushing. He scored thirteen rushing

1112
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns before they had figured out the Tushe push. Now

1113
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: with the Toushe push, that thirteen becomes what seventeen I mean,

1114
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: could be sitting on Could it be sitting on a

1115
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: league leading number of runs touchdowns? Very possibly for Jalen Hurts.

1116
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: But it's really the passing that can elevate Hurts last

1117
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: year modest numbers thirty six hundred passing yards twenty two scores.

1118
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: That was Derek Carr who got bench for two games

1119
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: and still put up thirty six hundred yards and twenty

1120
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,760
Speaker 1: five scores. Hurts has got the upside to get better

1121
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: given who his receivers are to be more like four

1122
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: thousand passing yards and thirty passing touchdowns. That would make

1123
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: him the clear cut highest scoring player.

1124
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 3: In the league. Okay, I thought about it.

1125
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the matchups Texans are taking on

1126
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens, and you guys know how I feel about

1127
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce.

1128
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 3: No is that could you tell us the sound of

1129
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,959
Speaker 3: a Pierce Darrow that's a dart throw, but you feel

1130
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 3: like he's a dart throw player.

1131
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: That's he's really naughty.

1132
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 3: He's in a C grade here.

1133
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: No, well, I can only muster a B grade because

1134
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 1: I don't like the matchup and the entire passing games

1135
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,320
Speaker 1: on the bench. Let's go with the passing game first.

1136
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:54,879
Speaker 1: Houston's passing games on the bench.

1137
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 2: C J.

1138
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: Stroud's preseason was not great. He looked inaccurate, he did

1139
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: not look poised. His mechanic were off. I didn't like

1140
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: what I saw there first. Start rookie trying to implement

1141
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: a brand new offense from a brand new offensive coordinator.

1142
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: And the Ravens secondary's good. It's not great, but it's good.

1143
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: The cornerback. Houston could pick on his rak Yassin, who

1144
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: is already on his third team, But I just don't

1145
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: trust the Texans passing game in this situation, and I

1146
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: need to see. I want to see a little something first.

1147
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,399
Speaker 1: So I've got the entire passing game on the bench.

1148
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 1: Let's go to Damian Pierce. Baltimore is a good run defense.

1149
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: They allowed the sixth fewest fantasy points. They ranked seventh

1150
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: in PFF grade last year against the run, just three

1151
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: point nine yards per carry against, good for third best.

1152
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 1: Baltimore returns pretty much everybody from last year's defense. Only

1153
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: one back cracked one hundred yards against the Ravens all year,

1154
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: and it took Najee Harris twenty two attempts to get there.

1155
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: Everybody expects Pierce to have an expanded receiving role. I

1156
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 1: do too. He's gonna need it. Ravens allowed the sixth

1157
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: most running back receptions, the fifth most running back receiving

1158
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: yards last year. The good news is, if there's one

1159
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 1: touchdown to be had from Houston's offense in this game,

1160
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: in a tough game at the Ravens, I think Damian

1161
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 1: Pierce gets it, hopefully chips in some of the receiving

1162
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 1: that we think we were going to develop. And I've

1163
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:09,280
Speaker 1: got a B grade on Damian Pierce. Better days ahead.

1164
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,720
Speaker 1: If he flops in this one, go try to trade

1165
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: for Damian Pierce as one of the tougher matchups on

1166
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: the schedule. Let's go to the Baltimore side. I'm gonna

1167
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: start with JK. Dobbins. The Texans allowed a league worse

1168
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: of one hundred and seventy eight total yards and one

1169
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: and a half touchdowns per game to opposing running backs

1170
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: last season. Now, the Texans defense should be improved. You've

1171
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: got a new defensive minded head coach in Demico Ryans,

1172
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: and he oversaw San Francisco's league best run defense. And

1173
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: the Texans added Sheldon Rankins, Denzel Perriman, Corey Littleton, and

1174
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: they added Will Anderson in the draft. I mean, those

1175
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: are all people that should improve the front seven here.

1176
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 1: So Dobbins an assassin at the goal line and a

1177
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: touchdown feels very likely here. A grade for JK. Dobbins, yep.

1178
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: I can't go to to Gus Edwards. I got it.

1179
00:54:58,280 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: I think it could be mop up time though in

1180
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: a lot opsided win, so you could start him in

1181
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: an absolute pinch here. But we're not going to do that.

1182
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: Let's go to the passing game. I want to start

1183
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: with the receivers. I got a se grade on Zay

1184
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 1: Flowers in his first game. He looks very promising. He's

1185
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: the healthiest of the Ravens receivers, and he'll go up

1186
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: against Houston cornerback Tavier Thomas in the slot. Thomas does

1187
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 1: not have a long resume, particularly for a guy in

1188
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: a sixth season, but he's graded up pretty well last year.

1189
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: Did not allow more than twenty four yards or any

1190
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: scores in any game last year, including six as a starter.

1191
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 1: The Houston pass defenses you remember may remember from last

1192
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 1: year sneaky good see grade on Zay Flowers see grade.

1193
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: And Rashad Bateman, who should be near full health at

1194
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 1: this point. In last year's offense, he ran mostly from

1195
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: the left side of the field. That would put him

1196
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: primarily on Darryl Stingley Junior. Last year's first round rookie

1197
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: year was pretty good. Last year not great, but pretty good.

1198
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,760
Speaker 1: Should be better in year two. The new Todd Munken

1199
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: offense should really should really help Bateman here, who suffered

1200
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: from low volume under Greg Roman for years. So I've

1201
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: got a se grade on Bateman. I don't love the matchup,

1202
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: but I do like him. If you were at I

1203
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: were sure he was one hundred percent healthy, he had

1204
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: probably started here. We're not going to OBJ. He's got

1205
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: to prove he's completely healthy off his second ACL, and

1206
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: he missed time this week in practice. I don't like that.

1207
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews not healthy. Unfortunately we're already here hamstring injury.

1208
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: Were he healthy, I would give him an A grade,

1209
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,840
Speaker 1: And if he does not go, Isaiah likely would be

1210
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 1: an amazing waiver wire starter in this matchup. Good tight

1211
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: ends roasted the Texans last year. Evan Ingram, Dalton Schultz,

1212
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 1: Travis Kelce, Gerald, Everett, Logan Thomas all top sixty yards,

1213
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: half of them scored touchdowns. Hopefully Andrews can go and

1214
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: then you kind of have to start him here. But

1215
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: if he can't, Isaiah likely a great waiver wire addition.

1216
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: So I've given good not great grades to all these receivers.

1217
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 1: This puts me onto a B grade and Lamar Jackson

1218
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: maybe not the smash spot. It feels like for the

1219
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: first time since getting drafted, totally new offense for Lamar Jackson.

1220
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,720
Speaker 1: He's got all these new receivers, right, OBJ, Zay Flowers

1221
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: and Integrate. Bateman and Obj didn't play for most of

1222
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 1: training camp. There's a lot of moving parts in what

1223
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: could be sort of a rusty offense here. And last year,

1224
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, Texans allowed the fewest passing touchdowns in

1225
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 1: the league fifteen, and they were top ten in passing

1226
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 1: yards allowed. And they were good against rushing quarterbacks, allowing

1227
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 1: just seventeen quarterback rushing yards per game and only two

1228
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: quarterback rushing touchdowns all year. So I can only give

1229
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: you a B grade on Lamar Jackson in this game.

1230
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to our final matchup of this segment, and

1231
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: that is the Dolphins taking on the Chargers. Scott, I

1232
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: think Dolphins are gonna get destroyed in this game. No

1233
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: Tarren Armstead from their offensive line, which is a big loss.

1234
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a game where the projected total is

1235
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 3: well into the fifties, the highest of the highest of

1236
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 3: the weekend. I do expect it to be somewhat of

1237
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 3: a shootout, but in the favor of the Chargers almost

1238
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 3: the entire game. I have a B grade. Onto two

1239
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 3: had his worst full game of the year against the

1240
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 3: Chargers last year, going for just one hundred and forty

1241
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 3: five yards in a score. Granted, that was his worst

1242
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 3: game of his Of last year, he only had three

1243
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 3: games below seventeen Fantasy points. Two he got concussions, and

1244
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 3: one was this one. It makes sense though, because the

1245
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 3: Chargers defense, although riddled riddled with injuries last year, were

1246
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 3: one of the best in the NFL. Let's see. Let's

1247
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 3: go over to the wide receivers, non Cheetah or Penguin

1248
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 3: wide receivers. The tight ends routinely struggled to get even

1249
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,439
Speaker 3: three catches. And if you don't catch what I mean,

1250
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill, the Cheetah and Jalen Waddle, they get almost

1251
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:42,439
Speaker 3: everything in that offense. They should be able to move

1252
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 3: around to avoid a Sante Samuel most of the time,

1253
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 3: but he'll be on Waddle most of the time. So

1254
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 3: Waddle gets the B, Tyreek Hill gets the A. They're

1255
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 3: both great for great spike weeks. Tyreek Hill had ten targets,

1256
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,439
Speaker 3: racking up eighty one in a score in this game

1257
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 3: last year. You're not benching Tyrek Hill. Why am I

1258
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 3: wasting time on you? Not? You're also not starting Durn's

1259
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 3: Duram Smythe, even though Brian Brian would love you too.

1260
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 3: But let's let's go over to the run game. The

1261
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 3: only guy I'm willing to start is Raheem Moster, and

1262
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 3: I'm pretty pretty hesitant on that because I think it'll

1263
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 3: be a little bit of a committee. Devin a Chain

1264
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 3: coming off that injury, he should be he should be

1265
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 3: ready to go a little risky though in his first game,

1266
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 3: so iv An Aukman should also be ready to go.

1267
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 3: But the Chargers were fifth worst against running backs just

1268
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 3: a year ago, sixth worst the year before. Maybe Brendon

1269
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 3: Staley focuses on stopping the past too much and doesn't

1270
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 3: just lets teams run on him. Maybe that's the problem.

1271
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 3: So with Jeff Wilson going to IR, Moster's going to

1272
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 3: get the sneaky C grade here, probably going to get

1273
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 3: enough volume. Just a note on that Broncos d it

1274
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 3: was injury plague last year, but it held quarterbacks and

1275
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 3: wide receivers to the seventh lowest yards per game at

1276
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 3: just two hundred and five yards per game. Wow, that's

1277
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 3: really not a lot, So to A getting a B

1278
00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 3: might be aggressive from me on that one. Over on

1279
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 3: the other side, justin Herbert, the Dolphins allowed him. The

1280
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 3: Dolphins allowed the fourth most Fantasy points and fifth most

1281
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 3: yards to qbs a year ago. Three hundred and six.

1282
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 3: Three hundred and sixty seven of those yards came from Herbert.

1283
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 3: That was his highest total of the year. Uh, that

1284
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 3: was That was a game where I'm sorry, that was

1285
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 3: his highest total of the year.

1286
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 5: Uh.

1287
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 3: The Miami Dolphins are a banged up secondary missing already

1288
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 3: missing Jalen Ramsey, who's on IR and Herbert's gonna have

1289
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 3: his full complemental weapons. He's gonna have Keenan Allen and

1290
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 3: Mike Williams. Josh Palmer did very little when both of

1291
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 3: them were healthy last year, so he's on the bench.

1292
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 3: I have an A grade on Keenan Allen, a B

1293
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 3: grade on Mike Williams. The slight problem is Xavian Howard

1294
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 3: did shadow him last year, probably will shadow him this year.

1295
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 3: That's why only the B grade. He's gonna need to

1296
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 3: get a big one to get a score. He did

1297
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 3: last year one hundred and sixteen yards in a score.

1298
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 3: So Gerald Everett C grade kind of crapped the bed

1299
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 3: last year in the matchup. But new o c Kellen

1300
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 3: Moore gave Dalton Schutz a Schultz a lot of volume.

1301
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 3: I'm hoping that goes to Everett here c grade in

1302
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 3: what I think is a shootout and Elsin Eckler's an

1303
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 3: eight grade.

1304
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't have to spend a lot of time

1305
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: Ontil Neckler obviously starting him every week for sure. I

1306
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: think the Dolphins might be sneaky bad this year.

1307
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 3: We find out.

1308
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 1: Interesting how if I'm wrong?

1309
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 3: Interesting I'm wrong. We don't root for bad things on

1310
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 3: the show. We like fun offenses. They have a fun offense.

1311
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 3: You know it has a fun offense.

1312
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: The Eagles. We're gonna talk about the Eagles offense when

1313
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: we come back. It's a tricky matchup against an often

1314
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: good Bill Belichick defense. We'll fight out if Thorn Eistrom

1315
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 1: is starting all Eagles or do you need to show

1316
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 1: caution on some find out when we return to Fantasy

1317
01:01:43,920 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchian

1318
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 1: with you. You can follow me on Twitter at Paul Charchian.

1319
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 1: Scott Fish is at Scott Fish twenty four. Thorn Eistrom

1320
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: is at thor Ku thor k U.

1321
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 3: Don't worry, it only takes them about seven years to

1322
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 3: start getting your Twitter exactly exactly.

1323
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a while. You can assume that's going

1324
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: to be the case. Thorpe Eagles traveled to the Patriots.

1325
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 1: Patriots struggled against RPOs run pass options last year, and

1326
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is great at it. I still like Jalen

1327
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 1: Hurts a lot and what could otherwise be a tougher matchup.

1328
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, charge your pick.

1329
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 6: For most Fantasy points in the league this year, and

1330
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 6: I think he's got a good shot to start out

1331
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 6: number one after this matchup, clearly giving him an a

1332
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 6: second most RPO dropbacks in the NFL. Like you're mentioning,

1333
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 6: Patriots allowed second highest yards per attempt on our pos

1334
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 6: and eleventh highest passer rating. The other thing the Patriots

1335
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 6: love to do is you guys know Bill Belichick. Staple

1336
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 6: is the man coverage. This is double stack week for Hurts,

1337
01:02:58,960 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 6: Brown and Smith.

1338
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 5: A J.

1339
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 6: Brown eats man coverage for breakfast. He always has second

1340
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 6: highest yards per route run versus man last year Brown

1341
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 6: and he led all wide receivers with six touchdowns versus

1342
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 6: man last year, and DeVonta Smith on the other side

1343
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 6: twenty second in targets per route run versus man, fourteenth

1344
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 6: and yards per route run overall there against Man was

1345
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 6: and he was number two in the NFL with five

1346
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:24,919
Speaker 6: touchdowns against Van Covers show this is a very good

1347
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 6: matchup for the Eagles passing game with Dallas Goddard, though,

1348
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 6: I think for him, he's got a score to be startable.

1349
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 6: I'll give him a seed just on that possibility in

1350
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 6: a week where a whole bunch of tight ends their

1351
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 6: status is questionable. Patriots gave up second most touchdowns to

1352
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 6: opposing tight ends last year, but again they're notoriously tough

1353
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 6: against tight ends as I mentioned before, eighth fewest receiving

1354
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 6: yards to tight ends last year. So we're going to

1355
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 6: give Goddard to see DeAndre Swift at those the three

1356
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 6: other guys at the slash RB one on him. I

1357
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 6: will give DeAndre Swift a see in this one. The

1358
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 6: Philly ran zone concept runs forty four percent plays left year.

1359
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 6: Patriots allowed third lowest yards per carry on zone runs.

1360
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 6: I mentioned that they have a good run defense, but

1361
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 6: I also mentioned before when I mentioned that Kenny Gainwell

1362
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 6: was my taking chance on a running back. Patriots struggled

1363
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 6: defending the running backs in the passing game, so Swift

1364
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 6: also will factor into that potentially.

1365
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:16,439
Speaker 4: That's why I give him a CEE.

1366
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 6: As far as the Patriots, we are benching all the

1367
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 6: Patriots passing game except for Jujus Smith Schuster here, and

1368
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 6: the reason for that is the Eagles boundary cornerbacks course

1369
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 6: Darius Slay and James Bradberry return. I think they're gonna

1370
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 6: take care of those outside guys. Mac Jones doesn't take

1371
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 6: a lot of chances anyways. But as far as Jujus

1372
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 6: Smith Schuster, he's gonna lead this team in targets, I

1373
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,439
Speaker 6: think pretty easily. You're going to funnel those targets into

1374
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 6: the slot. So that's what makes him potentially startable here.

1375
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 6: But I can only give Juju a ce KNOW for

1376
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 6: my grade. And then as far as the Patriots running game,

1377
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 6: I'm gonna give Rimondre Stevenson a SE as well. Philly's

1378
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 6: gonna remain zone heavy on defense under Seawan Decide taking

1379
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 6: over for Jonathan Gannon, but same sort of conceptually here.

1380
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 4: Stevenson had the seventh.

1381
01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 6: Most gap runs last year in the NFL, six highest

1382
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 6: yards per carry on gap runs. He also this was

1383
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 6: an interesting stat. Romandre Stevenson led the Patriots passing game

1384
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 6: in target share again coverage last year. Yeah, nineteen point

1385
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 6: five percent target share as a receiver.

1386
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 4: So I do think he's gonna get the volume. It's

1387
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 4: just how much.

1388
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 6: Are they going to score and be in a position

1389
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 6: to score? So we'll give Rimandre ACiE.

1390
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the worry, right, and then if they if

1391
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: there is a rushing touchdown to be had, is this

1392
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: where Zeke factors in? Another frustrating point. Potentially it could be.

1393
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, but Romondrie very good of course at grinding out

1394
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:32,919
Speaker 6: the short step. But Zeke, like you mentioned last year,

1395
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 6: he was siphoning off a lot of those touchdowns around

1396
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 6: the goal line.

1397
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, forty five career touchdowns just from inside the five

1398
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 1: yard line for Ezekiel Elliott. Packers traveled to the Bears. Now,

1399
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts in this one. Christian Watson's

1400
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: been ruled out. Romeo Dobbs has got the hamstring of

1401
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 1: his own, and he was having a nice preseason before

1402
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: the hamstring injury, and if he were at full strength,

1403
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 1: I'd be talking him up big time for this one.

1404
01:05:55,680 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 1: But hamstring injuries and wide receivers bad combo. And I'm

1405
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: nervous here now. If they take Dobbs completely off the

1406
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 1: injury report before Sunday's game, I would say, fine, let's

1407
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 1: put him into your starting lineup. But otherwise I don't

1408
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 1: trust hamstrings on wide receivers. I can't do it, and

1409
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 1: I'd have to give him a bench grade for Romeo Dobbs.

1410
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: Jayden Reid was might take a chance on me wide receiver.

1411
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna start him.

1412
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 3: In this game.

1413
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 1: And that brings us to Jordan Love. General manager Ryan

1414
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: pulls through a lot of draft picks at the Chicago defense,

1415
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: but not a lot in the secondary. And it's still

1416
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: beatable Chicago dead last and pass rush last year by

1417
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. So Love's gonna have time in the pocket.

1418
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. Bears all had the most

1419
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 1: quarterback rushing attempts for the most quarterback rushing touchdowns. And

1420
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 1: Love is sneaky. He's got some sneaky wheels. I think

1421
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 1: people don't jet nationally. I don't think people really realize

1422
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: that Love is as good a running threat as he is.

1423
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: It'll be a factor in this game. And I like

1424
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 1: him here. So if he had all his receiving weapons,

1425
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 1: I'd give Jordan Love a bee, but with a short

1426
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 1: Watson potentially also Romeo Dobbs. I can only give Jordan

1427
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 1: Love to see in this game, but I do think

1428
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 1: he is startable. All right, Let's go to the running back.

1429
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 1: So with all of these problems with the receivers and

1430
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 1: all the injuries, I gotta believe we're gonna see a

1431
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 1: lot of Aaron Jones. And by the way, the first

1432
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 1: start for Jordan Love at really the first real start

1433
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 1: for Jordan Love.

1434
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 3: I got it.

1435
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna see a lot of running in this game.

1436
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 1: And why not. Aaron Jones murdered the Bears in Week

1437
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: two of last year, but got bottled up in the

1438
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: Week thirteen matchup. I see, as I mentioned, a lot

1439
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 1: of extra carries and an excellent receiver by the way,

1440
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 1: for Aaron Jones and the Bears good in that department

1441
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 1: last year. I think you can still count on a

1442
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 1: good like four ish receptions out of Aaron Jones, maybe

1443
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 1: forty receiving yards. AJ Dill be great on Aaron Jones,

1444
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 1: B Grant and AJ Dillon to crushed the Bears in

1445
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:45,919
Speaker 1: the week's thirteen matchup one hundred and nineteen total yards

1446
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: and a touchdown, and again, like Jones, some extra carries coming.

1447
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 1: He got almost all the goal line work last year,

1448
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 1: and with the Bears allowing the second most rushing touchdowns

1449
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 1: last year, I gotta like Dylan's chances of getting a

1450
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 1: touchdown in this game, So B Grade and AJ Dillon

1451
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 1: as well. I think this is one of the best

1452
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 1: matchups for AJ Dillon all season. Let's go to the

1453
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 1: Chicago side. I'm gonna start with Khalil Herbert expected to

1454
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 1: be the starter here, but we're gonna see a potentially

1455
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:18,759
Speaker 1: frustrating amount of Danta Foreman and Thors guys Roshawn Johnson

1456
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 1: in the mix as well, particularly at the goal line,

1457
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: which I don't see Herbert scoring in many games, and

1458
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 1: Johnson is really built for goal line use. Foreman is

1459
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:29,840
Speaker 1: to a lesser extent. Last year, Green Bay was bottom

1460
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:33,599
Speaker 1: ten and rushing attempts, rushing yards, and rushing touchdowns allowed

1461
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: to running backs, while only addressing the issue with rookies

1462
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: Lucas van Ness and Carl Brooks. So I think Herbert

1463
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: likely finishes the nondescript but flex worthy box score, which

1464
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:48,599
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to get used to, like sixty total yards,

1465
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: and probably doesn't score C grade.

1466
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 3: Or sixty TOI yards in a score like David Montgomery

1467
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:53,679
Speaker 3: last night.

1468
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think Herbert's just gonna get

1469
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:57,599
Speaker 1: used at the stripe. You'd have to score from distance,

1470
01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 1: and I don't trust him to do it. That's just

1471
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 1: my opinion. Let's go to the receivers. The receiver. Only

1472
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 1: Chicago receiver you can really care about s DJ Moore,

1473
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 1: but he's got a tangle with excellent quarterback Jaiir Alexander. Now,

1474
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: Alexander normally only plays one side of the field, but

1475
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: for special opponents, they will let JayR Alexander shadow, and

1476
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 1: Chicago fits the bill perfectly because outside of DJ Moore,

1477
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:24,600
Speaker 1: there's nobody else that's worthy of JayR Alexander. So I

1478
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,839
Speaker 1: think he's gonna shadow here, and he is a problem.

1479
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 1: He ranked his coverage corner number five by Pro Football Focus.

1480
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 1: He'll howed just thirty three yards and zero point one

1481
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game in his coverage. So I can't give

1482
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: DJ Moore more than a B grade in this game,

1483
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: cole Kmet is a needed starter for many of you.

1484
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:46,640
Speaker 1: Green Bay allowed the second fewest receptions and yards to

1485
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:51,400
Speaker 1: tight ends last year, and when Comet duds, he duds hard.

1486
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 1: His non touchdown games last year netted an average of

1487
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: two catches for thirty yards. That's not good from your

1488
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 1: tight end is never scored against Green Bay, and last

1489
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: year Comet had a zero catch game and a seventy

1490
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:07,600
Speaker 1: two yard catch game against Green Bay. I've got a

1491
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 1: C grade on cole Kmet, so that brings us to

1492
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 1: justin fields. He played arguably the best game of his

1493
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: career against the Packers last year. In Week thirteen. He

1494
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 1: completed eighty percent of his passes, he ran for seventy

1495
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 1: one yards and a touchdown. The green Bay secondary unchanged

1496
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 1: from last year, an above average group, and I mentioned

1497
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm not that keen on DJ Moore here, but I

1498
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,000
Speaker 1: still got an A grade on totality in justin fields.

1499
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 1: Who's likely to run for over fifty yards probably finds

1500
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 1: his way to one passing touch.

1501
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 3: You don't want to guarantee sixty No.

1502
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:40,919
Speaker 1: No, that's your dad, I don't want it. That's your trademark.

1503
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 1: I want to take that from you. We're not gonna

1504
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 1: We're not going to mess with Chase Claypool and Darnell

1505
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:49,160
Speaker 1: Mooney in this matchup. All right, Scott, final matchup of

1506
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: this segment, do it? Rams taking on the Seahawks. Rams

1507
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 1: absolutely hamstrung Without Cooper cup here, that offense designed to

1508
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,560
Speaker 1: go through him, wad.

1509
01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 3: A wide receiver. Matthew Stafford reportedly can't name not a

1510
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 3: good sign. So it's like, yeah, so I have the

1511
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:07,920
Speaker 3: entire passing game on the bench except for Tyler Higbee

1512
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 3: from Week eight on last year, So ten games, only

1513
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,679
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks top two hundred and forty passing yards against

1514
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:16,680
Speaker 3: the Seahawks, which makes sense when you see that they

1515
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 3: have like Jamal Adre Adams and Quandre Diggs and Tyrek Woollen,

1516
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 3: and they added Bobby Wagner. They stole them from this

1517
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 3: The Rams they're playing this week, not stole, I shouldn't

1518
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,599
Speaker 3: say that, but and they were dealing with a lot

1519
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 3: of injuries. So the only thing that Rams passing offense

1520
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 3: really has going for it is gamescript because they'll probably be behind.

1521
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 3: But I don't trust all the We don't know what

1522
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:41,840
Speaker 3: the splits will be between targets between the pass catchers.

1523
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 3: The only one I do trust is Tyler Higbye, who

1524
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:48,799
Speaker 3: may end up being Stafford's security blanket. Seattle was the worst,

1525
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 3: one of the worst teams against fantasy tight ends last year.

1526
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 3: Ten tight ends topped eighty yards and or scored against them.

1527
01:11:56,080 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 3: That's a lot of volume, and as mentioned, Stafford his name,

1528
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 3: so he'll get some C grade. Tyler Higbee B grade

1529
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 3: on cam Acres. Acres ended last year with three straight

1530
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:10,559
Speaker 3: games of one hundred and twenty five plus total yards

1531
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:14,799
Speaker 3: and really five straight Fantasy startuple games. The Seahawks maybe improved,

1532
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 3: they got Bobby Wagner obviously, as I just mentioned, but

1533
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 3: it was the fourth worst against running backs last year.

1534
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 3: Even though the game script won't be great for Acres

1535
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:28,639
Speaker 3: because they'll be passing a lot, I don't think that

1536
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 3: that affects Kyrien Williams, who's supposedly the pass catching back.

1537
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:34,760
Speaker 3: If you look at the games last year, the touchcounts

1538
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,599
Speaker 3: Acres to Williams were twenty four to three, twenty to seven,

1539
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 3: fifteen to three. Like, something's really going to have to

1540
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:43,920
Speaker 3: change for you to even consider Karen Williams, and we

1541
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:45,720
Speaker 3: need to start see it first. So he's on the

1542
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 3: bench over on the other side, Gino Smith, I have

1543
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 3: an A grade on much like I mentioned with the

1544
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 3: Raiders and the Jaguars, much like I mentioned with the

1545
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 3: Raider second talking about Russell Wilson and the Jaguars matchup

1546
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:06,879
Speaker 3: against the Colts. The Rams secondary is almost consistently, almost

1547
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 3: entirely set up of first and second year players. And

1548
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:12,240
Speaker 3: then they added Duke Shelley, so now they at least

1549
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 3: have one vet former Viking, Duke Shelley, who was actually

1550
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:18,600
Speaker 3: pretty good last year. All right, yeah, he was, all right, Yeah,

1551
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 3: the Rams secondary, But PFF grades the RAMS secondary as

1552
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:25,760
Speaker 3: the worst secondary in football entering the season. Gino was

1553
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 3: already great last year. He added JSN Jackson Smith In

1554
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:31,760
Speaker 3: Jigba who is practicing in full and should go and

1555
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 3: pass catching option, Zach Charboney, who was my take a

1556
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 3: chance on me player for the wide receivers. I got

1557
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 3: a B grade on both Lockett and Metcalf. I could

1558
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 3: be leaned into an A, but they might they might

1559
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 3: monopolize each other in JSN might get just enough that

1560
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep him down to a bee. It's a

1561
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:54,439
Speaker 3: good matchup. Rams were seventh worst, seventh allowed the seventh

1562
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 3: most yards to wide receivers last year and lost Jalen Ramsey,

1563
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 3: JSN Jackson Smith. And but I'm given a C grade too.

1564
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 3: He looked really good in the preseason and he's gonna

1565
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:07,480
Speaker 3: see a lot of single coverage coming out of this lot.

1566
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:12,720
Speaker 3: Ken Walker. Ken Walker B grade rams were twelfth the

1567
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 3: worst against running backs last year, lost Bobby Wagner. He

1568
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 3: was added to the injury port with that groin injury

1569
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 3: came off it. If he goes, I think he's going

1570
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:23,800
Speaker 3: to get enough volume in a game script where they

1571
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 3: can run a lot late that he will get a

1572
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,640
Speaker 3: B grade If he doesn't go. Wheels up for Zach Shu,

1573
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,759
Speaker 3: A grade for Zak Shacke, Yeah, I agree, a grade

1574
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 3: for Sharbone if Walker doesn't go, not go. Yeah.

1575
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 1: When we come back, it's the season premiere of premature to.

1576
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:45,520
Speaker 3: Majur Speculo speculation.

1577
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:47,720
Speaker 1: Yes, we'll give you players to pick up off the

1578
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:49,680
Speaker 1: waiver wire now that everybody else will be trying to

1579
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: pick up next week. Find out who they are when

1580
01:14:52,400 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 1: we come back. Final segment Fantasy Football Weekly for week

1581
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 1: number one. We always start this segment with premature speculation.

1582
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:26,080
Speaker 1: This is where we give you a player to pick

1583
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 1: up this week that reels me trying to pick up

1584
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 1: next week. But you win the time Machine and you

1585
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 1: already got him.

1586
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 3: Yes, I love that time Machine.

1587
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 1: I love the time Machine sound. I think that's critical.

1588
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:36,639
Speaker 3: I like the Quantum Leap one a little bit warm.

1589
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: All right, Scott, what is your who is your premature

1590
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 1: speculation player?

1591
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:46,799
Speaker 3: I am going with Texas High School all time receiving leader, Marvin.

1592
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 3: Do not call me Denzel charts in, Scott Mims. He

1593
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 3: is thirty seven percent rostered on Yahoo and fifteen percent

1594
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 3: rostered on ESPN, which by my math is sixty three

1595
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 3: percent too low on Yahoo and eighty five percent too

1596
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 3: low on ESPN. He's a great deep ball threat, and

1597
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 3: he's got the single coverage all year for the Broncos.

1598
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 3: Get him before he blows up this week with Jerry Judy,

1599
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 3: you know, potentially.

1600
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 1: Not going Yeah, yeah, Marvin Mims. All right, Thor, who

1601
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:18,759
Speaker 1: is your premature speculation player?

1602
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 6: I'm going with Rams wide receiver Poka Nkua. Have been

1603
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 6: banging the drum for him all summer. We're going to

1604
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 6: keep banging it. Good size, six foot two to two

1605
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:28,720
Speaker 6: pH five and super versatile Pooka Nkua. He averaged nine

1606
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:31,559
Speaker 6: point two yards per carry on thirty nine career carries.

1607
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:33,640
Speaker 6: One of five of those carries ended up in the

1608
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 6: end zone. Jaron Hall, I'm not sure if he gets

1609
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 6: drafted if he didn't play with Puka at Byu. In

1610
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:40,639
Speaker 6: the games where Pooka played a full game last season,

1611
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 6: Jaron Hall four three hundred yard games out of seven.

1612
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:45,599
Speaker 6: In the five where Puka didn't play a full game

1613
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 6: or didn't play at all, Jaren Hall only had one

1614
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 6: three hundred yard game in those ones.

1615
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,680
Speaker 3: So he raises the level at the quarterback, raises.

1616
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,639
Speaker 6: The bar and with Cooper Cup out here for the Rams,

1617
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:56,920
Speaker 6: I think Puka's gonna get starter snaps. We know that

1618
01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 6: Van Jefferson to Touawl, Bench Kronic, et cetera are not

1619
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:02,519
Speaker 6: very good. Puoka's only owned a two percent of Yahoo

1620
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 6: leagues right now.

1621
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 4: That needs to change.

1622
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:06,600
Speaker 3: And you call him discount debo, right, disc deeb. So

1623
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:09,719
Speaker 3: that's that's your comp's right, that's your comp for listeners.

1624
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:10,120
Speaker 3: I like it.

1625
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 1: H Pukah Nikua, I got a Samoan heritage. I'm going

1626
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 1: with gotta be need So I don't know what kind

1627
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: of sounder. We can get for him a coconut sounder.

1628
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 1: Cocain makes sound they when they fall in Gilligan's head.

1629
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:24,000
Speaker 6: We could do a Kuna matata and put in Pooka's

1630
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 6: name for the pua oh.

1631
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:29,400
Speaker 1: I like it all right, Just whip that a'll figures Okay, Well, yeah,

1632
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:32,639
Speaker 1: let's do that. Speaking of two percent owned Rashid Shaheed

1633
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:36,240
Speaker 1: Saints receiver. Now you already talked about him for you,

1634
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 1: and you outlined a lot of the reasons you like

1635
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:40,720
Speaker 1: Rashid Shaheed this week against Tennessee. I do too, and

1636
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason you need to get him

1637
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 1: before the Tennessee games. But just a recap of last

1638
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:48,600
Speaker 1: year undrafted from Weaver State debuts mid season, has a

1639
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:51,759
Speaker 1: bunch of splash plays. Looks totally a fit for the NFL.

1640
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 1: Deep ball guy caught eighty two percent of his passes

1641
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:58,240
Speaker 1: really healthy, a dot of eleven and a half yards,

1642
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 1: and that was with Andy Dalton. I think he can

1643
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:02,759
Speaker 1: do better with mister tar Carr.

1644
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 3: So Also, he passes the eyeball test, very important.

1645
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 4: We love the eyeball test around here. Yeah.

1646
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Rashid Shaheed, Let's go get him. I've got a

1647
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:13,720
Speaker 1: bunch of my leaks as well. All right, let's go

1648
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:17,839
Speaker 1: to our Sunday night game. It's Cowboys taking on the Giants.

1649
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:21,680
Speaker 1: This is a Dallas passing game that goes head to

1650
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:25,479
Speaker 1: head with Wink Martindale's blitz packages. What do you like here?

1651
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, Win Burndale, who sent more blitzer than any other

1652
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:30,400
Speaker 6: defensive coordinator in the NFL last year, and he also

1653
01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 6: loves man coverage.

1654
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:33,800
Speaker 4: So that's that brings us to Cede Lamb.

1655
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 6: When Dak Prescott is under pressure, when he gets blitzed,

1656
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 6: he looks the CD immediately throws it there all the time.

1657
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 6: Ceedee Lamb last year forty two percent target share on blitzes.

1658
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 6: That's ridiculous. It just shows you that's the trigger for Prescott,

1659
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 6: looks over there, chucks it up to him. Lamb was

1660
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 6: also top ten amongst all wide receivers with at least

1661
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 6: fifty routes run last year and basically every stat that

1662
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 6: I could find against both the blitz and man coverage. Yeah,

1663
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 6: gotta give Ceedee Lamb an a. He is in play

1664
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 6: to be one of the highest scoring receivers this week.

1665
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 6: Dak Prescott. I gave him a b Okay matchup. For

1666
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 6: him again, he gonna look at CD, but only a

1667
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 6: B for him. I also gave a beat to Brandon

1668
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:13,400
Speaker 6: Cooks because if Adri Jackson shadows CD LAMB, that means

1669
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 6: Cooks is gonna get Deanna Banks.

1670
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 4: Banks does not.

1671
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 6: Have great ball skills yet, He's still a work in progress,

1672
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:20,000
Speaker 6: fabulous athlete.

1673
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 4: But we always like to.

1674
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 6: Target corner rookie cornerbacks, both DFS and Fantasy early on

1675
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 6: in their rookie season, So I like Cooks for that reason.

1676
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 6: All the other passca catching options for Dallas I'm gonna

1677
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 6: keep on the bench this week. I do love the

1678
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 6: matchup for Tony Pollard, though I give him an A.

1679
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 6: I think he's gonna hit some dingers this week. Giants

1680
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 6: run defense last year allowed the third highest explosive run

1681
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:43,679
Speaker 6: rate in the NFL. The Giants also allowed the highest

1682
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 6: yards per carry on gap runs and the second highest

1683
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 6: on zone runs. Very good matchup for Tony Pollard going

1684
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 6: to the Giants. This is one that depends a lot

1685
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 6: on if Darren Waller plays. If he does not, we're

1686
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:57,639
Speaker 6: gonna be ben or if he does, we're gonna bench

1687
01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:00,960
Speaker 6: all the Giant wide receivers. But I mean, if he

1688
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 6: does play. We're gonna give Darren Waller an a grade

1689
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:03,639
Speaker 6: in this game.

1690
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 3: I have an idea. So I'm in the league with

1691
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:06,519
Speaker 3: Darren Waller.

1692
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, of course you got up.

1693
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:13,879
Speaker 3: I drafted Darren Waller. I was debating, should I trade

1694
01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 3: Darren Waller to himself?

1695
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:16,080
Speaker 1: Who Darren Waller?

1696
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 3: Should I play Darren Waller against Darren Waller?

1697
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 1: What do you think you play Darren Waller this week?

1698
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 3: I do not.

1699
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: Okay, So then you need to trade Darren Waller to

1700
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 1: Darren Waller so we know if Darren Waller puts Darren

1701
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 1: Waller into his lineup, that means he's healthy.

1702
01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:31,839
Speaker 3: This is brilliant.

1703
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna have to offer him just sweetheart deal.

1704
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 1: The master Darren Waller will trade for Darren Waller.

1705
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 3: Well, you gotta imagine he likes himself for this year,

1706
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:41,639
Speaker 3: I would hope. So, yeah, then we'll know every single

1707
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:45,040
Speaker 3: week what his status is. I love this. Let's do it. Yeah, okay,

1708
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:45,800
Speaker 3: every figured it out.

1709
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:48,439
Speaker 1: We Darren Waller report. We'll go to your league and

1710
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 1: tell us whether or not Darren Waller is star perfect,

1711
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 1: brilliant perfect.

1712
01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 6: And I wish we knew that intel because if we

1713
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 6: did I think there's a sneaky good matchup for Darren Waller.

1714
01:20:57,320 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 4: He's gonna get the volume all season.

1715
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 6: The Giants are just gonna pound with targets, and especially

1716
01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 6: in this game, when you're going up against a team

1717
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 6: that has Trayvon Diggs on one side Stefan Gilmour on

1718
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:07,880
Speaker 6: the other side, You're going to funnel even more volume

1719
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 6: into this slot.

1720
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 4: So this one's a Darren Waller parade here.

1721
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:14,479
Speaker 6: Second most slot tight ends allowed last year for the

1722
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:17,160
Speaker 6: Dallas Cowboys to opposing slots. I think Waller has a

1723
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:19,559
Speaker 6: big game if he plays, so I give him an

1724
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:22,000
Speaker 6: A if he plays, But of course we might need

1725
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,680
Speaker 6: Scott Fish to get us some intel on that.

1726
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:26,360
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones, I give him a C in this one.

1727
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:28,479
Speaker 6: I think a lot of his fantasy value is going

1728
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:30,960
Speaker 6: to have to come from running, but I will give

1729
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:33,799
Speaker 6: one sliver of hope as far as him in the pocket,

1730
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 6: Dallas allowed the ninth most play action touchdowns last year

1731
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:40,519
Speaker 6: to opposing quarterbacks, eleventh highest passer rating on play actions.

1732
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 6: Dimes had the third most play action drop backs in

1733
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:45,479
Speaker 6: the NFL last year. As far as the run game,

1734
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:48,519
Speaker 6: Saquon Berkley, I'm gonna give him a b running back

1735
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 6: to high running back two on volume alone, but this

1736
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 6: is a tough matchup for him. Cowboys allowed the tenth

1737
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:57,040
Speaker 6: lowest yards per carry on gap runs last year. Sixty

1738
01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:00,719
Speaker 6: percent of Saquon's runs were gap runs. Dallas also allowed

1739
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 6: the eighth lowest receiving yardage two opposing running backs last year,

1740
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 6: so that could be tough for sake.

1741
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:07,880
Speaker 1: One two, Bill's take on the Jets and the Monday nighter,

1742
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 1: and this might be the toughest matchup of the year

1743
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 1: for the Bills offense as they travel to the Jets.

1744
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:16,120
Speaker 1: Didn't ever think we'd be talking about this the Justinigans

1745
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:18,439
Speaker 1: this way. Let's start with the wide receivers and Stefan

1746
01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 1: Diggs scoreless in both matchups with the Jets last year

1747
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:23,839
Speaker 1: because of that head to head matchup with Sauce Gardner

1748
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 1: in part. Now, Sauce does not does not shadow. He

1749
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 1: plays one side of the field, but he erases that

1750
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 1: side of the field, giving up just twenty one yards

1751
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: per game in his coverage and zero point one touchdowns.

1752
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner totally legit and you might be thinking, well,

1753
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:40,760
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs could just run from the other side of

1754
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 1: the field. Dj Reid is really good. Yeah, he ranked

1755
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:47,799
Speaker 1: fifteenth at the cornerback position by Pro Football Focus and Coverage.

1756
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,639
Speaker 1: So there's nowhere to hide for Steph Diggs here. Two

1757
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:55,080
Speaker 1: dud games last year, including three catches thirty seven yards

1758
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 1: in the most recent game against the Jets. So I've

1759
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 1: just got to be great on Steph Diggs, the great

1760
01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:02,960
Speaker 1: on Gabe Davis, who did nothing in this matchup last

1761
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 1: year matching up against Sauce and read. He's healthier for

1762
01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 1: this matchup, which helps, but he's just a dart throw

1763
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:11,599
Speaker 1: in a very difficult matchup. I love gave Davis scottam

1764
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 1: Rostered a lot, but I can't really advocate for him here. Say,

1765
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:19,960
Speaker 1: with the passing game Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox, I

1766
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 1: can't start either one in their first NFL game. It

1767
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:25,200
Speaker 1: feels like it's a total wild card situation. We love

1768
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:29,360
Speaker 1: Kinkaid's upside, but week one for rookie tight end. Maybe

1769
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, Sam Laparty got a lot of use, but

1770
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:33,680
Speaker 1: he didn't have somebody as polished to Dawson Knox to

1771
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:36,960
Speaker 1: potentially take reps away from him. I just I'm taking

1772
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 1: a wait and see on this. The Jets allowed the

1773
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 1: sixth most yards and the fifth most receptions of tight

1774
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:46,479
Speaker 1: end So not impossible, but I'd rather wait and see.

1775
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm not normally skittish on on players like this.

1776
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 3: I've Kincaid in a lot of places. I'm glad I

1777
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:52,599
Speaker 3: can put him on the bench for now.

1778
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:55,360
Speaker 1: Yes, a luxury not many people have at the tight

1779
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:58,439
Speaker 1: end position right now. So where does that leave Josh Allen?

1780
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 1: I just got to be great on him, right so

1781
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:02,839
Speaker 1: you know, we look at I mentioned the difficult matchups

1782
01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:06,040
Speaker 1: for Diggs and Davis. Now the good news is the Jets,

1783
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 1: by the way awesome after Week three of last year

1784
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:12,599
Speaker 1: allowing a meager two hundred passing yards and zero point

1785
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:16,599
Speaker 1: six passing touchdowns allowed, and even worse from Week four

1786
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:22,599
Speaker 1: forward last year, thirteen of fourteen opposing quarterbacks through zero

1787
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 1: or one touchdown against the Jets. Now, last year, Josh

1788
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 1: Allen salvaged too otherwise bad passing games by running in

1789
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 1: touchdowns in each game. You know, and he might hear too,

1790
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 1: he could run in touchdowns any time, but there's danger.

1791
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 1: So just to be great on Josh Allen, where does

1792
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 1: that leave us with James Cook? You might be asking,

1793
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:45,559
Speaker 1: so up ticking usage coming for sure now with Singletary out.

1794
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 1: Jets allow the fourth fewest touchdowns to opposing running backs

1795
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 1: last season, and they finished this Pro Football Focus's sixth

1796
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:56,360
Speaker 1: best run defense overall. I worry about Damian Harris stealings

1797
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:59,800
Speaker 1: more touches than people think. Still easier to run New

1798
01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 1: York the pass. Cook will get enough work I think

1799
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:04,160
Speaker 1: through the air to make him startable CEE grade on

1800
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:07,040
Speaker 1: James Cook. But I can't go higher than that. Let's

1801
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: go to the Jets side. I want to start with

1802
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:11,559
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson. We all love Garrett Wilson here, but I

1803
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 1: got a little bit. I'm a little bit nervous that

1804
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:15,799
Speaker 1: he's gonna get shadow coverage from Tradevius White, who's finally

1805
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 1: back to full health for the first time in two years.

1806
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:21,799
Speaker 1: White gave up just one score last year, and when healthy,

1807
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 1: he can be absolutely elite. Fortunately, Buffalo secondary can be yielding.

1808
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 1: They give up eighteen wide receiver scores last year. That

1809
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 1: was the third most, and Garrett Wilson averaged a healthy

1810
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 1: eighty five yards in his two games against Buffalo last year.

1811
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 1: With Zach Wilson and Mike White at quarterback, So only

1812
01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 1: because of Tredevious White. I've dropped him down to a

1813
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 1: B grade. Otherwise it would have been an A grade

1814
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:46,080
Speaker 1: for Garrett Wilson. We're very excited about him. Alan Lazard

1815
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 1: boring but startable. Particularly with White glued to Garrett Wilson.

1816
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:54,639
Speaker 1: That puts Lazard on kiter Elam a far easier matchup.

1817
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 1: He ranked his pro football focus is seventy fourth coverage cornerback.

1818
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:01,639
Speaker 1: All of his zards in play. If you need a

1819
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:05,639
Speaker 1: mundane like six catches sixty yards and the familiarity well,

1820
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:08,720
Speaker 1: and yeah, the familiarity is not too bad. So where

1821
01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:11,839
Speaker 1: does that leave us with Aaron Rodgers. You may be wondering,

1822
01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 1: fared okay against Buffalo last year. He played Buffalo last year

1823
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:16,760
Speaker 1: as a member of the Packers. Obviously, he threw for

1824
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:20,040
Speaker 1: two hundred yards and two touchdowns in Green Bay. He's

1825
01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 1: got a lot of the same weapons that he had

1826
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:25,280
Speaker 1: in Green Bay, right Randall Cobb and Aaron Allen Lazard.

1827
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 1: But Buffalo didn't give up any explosive passing games really

1828
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 1: and pretty much every starting quarterback to face Buffalo just

1829
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:34,680
Speaker 1: did okay. And that's kind of what I expect from

1830
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. A good not great game and to be

1831
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:40,760
Speaker 1: grade for him. And lastly, Dalvin Cook and Breese Hall.

1832
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:44,320
Speaker 1: Cook and Hall I think likely split reps about evenly here.

1833
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 1: In a tougher matchup, i'd advise you to just take

1834
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:49,519
Speaker 1: away and see approach here. But I like this matchup

1835
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:52,639
Speaker 1: for the Jets runners. Buffalo's run defense ranked twenty six

1836
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:54,479
Speaker 1: par Pro Football Focus. They allowed four and a half

1837
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 1: yards per carry, and the Jets had success running on

1838
01:26:57,240 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 1: the bills last year with Michael Carter and Zanovin, so

1839
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:03,880
Speaker 1: I think there's an opportunity to start both Cook and

1840
01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:06,599
Speaker 1: Brice Hall, but because they're sharing, I can only give

1841
01:27:06,640 --> 01:27:10,200
