<v Speaker 1>We all love our teams for now. By Sunday night,

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>half of us are going to be wringing our hands

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>in the other half of our hands up in tryumph,

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>I am Paul Charchie.

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 3>Is that what you do? I need a picture of

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 3>that this week? Hands up there? You hit your hands

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 3>one of the two? Yeah, you need to post that

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:43.239
<v Speaker 3>each week. Which one you are?

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Well, I got too many fantasy teams. I'm probably

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:46.599
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a lot of both.

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 3>If you one up, one down, it's like jumping Jackson.

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>That's the voice of Scott Fish and making a show

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>number two appearance. Thort Nystrom.

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 4>Hey, guys, how are you guys doing?

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Very excited? If you've got a few rostered and started

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Kadarius Tony or we're here to help. Yes, Oops, a

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>little Jamior Gibbs regret in there too, mixed in. Well,

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 1>we won't spend a ton of time on the game

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>that already happened. We're gonna break down fifteen matchups in

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>this show, Fantasy Football Weekly style, with letter grades on

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>every meaningful player. We'll give you three player well nine

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>total players upon me. You can take a chance. We'll

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>answer three tough questions, and we'll play premature speculation where

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.759
<v Speaker 1>we give you players to pick up now that everybody

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:29.479
<v Speaker 1>else is going to try to pick up next week,

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 1>but they're already on your team.

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Nice, we love it.

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's jump right in with fifteen matchups to get through.

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Scott Fish Ye Panther's taking on the Falcons. Talk to

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>me about a Panthers team that goes to war with

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.680
<v Speaker 1>a new look offense minus two receivers or maybe a

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>receiver and a half.

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 3>So so let's start out the passing game here. I

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 3>have almost everyone on the bench for the Panthers. Adam

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 3>Thielen has mispracticed this week with an injury. Uh, it

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 3>sounds like he's gonna go, but he's a true coin

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 3>flip at this point. H DJ Shark is out with

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.399
<v Speaker 3>a hamstring injury. Terres Marshall came off the injury report

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 3>been limited this week with a back injury, but the

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 3>only one that seems like he's going to get a

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 3>full compliment is Jonathan Mingo, who I'm going to talk

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 3>about a little bit next segment.

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 3>Uh, Bryce Young I have on the bench. I'm not

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 3>going to trust him in his first career game in

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 3>a game that has the lowest projected to total points

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 3>from Vegas.

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.959
<v Speaker 1>And missing tree startings.

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 3>And missing all those weapons he's got. Yeah, and his

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 3>main weapon is a thirty year old tight end who

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.919
<v Speaker 3>averages three hundred and fifty yards per yeason per season.

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 3>So uh, I am I am putting herst with a

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 3>segrad though, because despite despite the low volume he's had

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 3>over his career. Uh, the Falcons were fifth worst against

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 3>tight ends last year. Ten of them had sixty five

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 3>plus yards and or a score, and simply due to

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 3>lack of other options in the offense. You almost got it.

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm given him a C grade. He's had good connection,

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 3>a good rapport with Bryce Young in the preseason, so

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm giving a se grade hurst there in the running game.

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 3>The only guy I trust, despite recent talk of more

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 3>of a split to keep Sanders healthy, is Miles Sanders

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 3>He's the only one I trust in this and I'm

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 3>only given him a see. I know there's video of

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 3>Frank Rake can do stalely talking about the Philly days,

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.639
<v Speaker 3>his fifty catch seasons and whatnot.

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.079
<v Speaker 1>I hope you will catch some passes by this game.

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 3>I do too. I hope that's what he gets. The

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 3>Falcons spent years. Do you remember this charge like three

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 3>years in a row being the worst at defending running

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 3>backs against the past. That was a while ago there

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 3>in middle of the pack last year, but even Hubbard

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 3>and Foreman last year had legit like six one hundred

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 3>yard games averaging over four and a half yards per carry.

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 3>Miles Sanders, I'm giving the sea. You could talk me

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 3>into a bee if there wasn't all that splitting talk

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 3>and the fact that the offense is probably gonna have

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 3>trouble moving on the other side. I have a few

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 3>I have a few grades here. I have an a

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 3>for Bijon Robinson starting out his fantasy career, first rounder

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 3>middle of the pack matching man that sounder. I don't know, man,

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.919
<v Speaker 3>I don't know middle of the pack matchup for his

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.919
<v Speaker 3>first matchup, but he's a likely three down back, great

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:27.039
<v Speaker 3>pass catcher gamescript might might be you know a lot

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.599
<v Speaker 3>of running. So Patterson is dealing with a thigh injury

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 3>as well, so if he doesn't go, that's just more

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 3>work for Beijeon. It was probably gonna be anyway. Onto

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 3>the passing game, Desmond Ritter. I got on the bench

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 3>because I watched him play last year. Because our eyeballs,

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes I have eyeballs. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.280
<v Speaker 3>wait under two hundred and twenty five yards passing in

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.599
<v Speaker 3>all four starts. Come on, Drake London and Kyle Pitts.

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.599
<v Speaker 3>I'm giving c's two. You probably weren't benching them based

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 3>on where you drafted them. The Panther Panthers, however, allowed

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 3>the fourth most yards to wide receivers last year. London

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 3>gets about thirty percent target share. We'll see if that

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.360
<v Speaker 3>continues this year. He's also going to see J. C. Horns,

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.719
<v Speaker 3>so I'm not I'm not super psyched about it, but

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm still gonna give him a C grade here. In

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.159
<v Speaker 3>his four games with Rider last year, ninety five yards,

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 3>seventy yards, ninety six yards, one hundred and twenty yards.

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 3>That's a decent amount of fantasy production. Kyle Pits C

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 3>grade in the home game versus the Panthers last year,

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.479
<v Speaker 3>he went five for eighty and a score on nine targets.

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 3>He's going to be one of the only options in

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 3>the options in this offense. But you drafted him as

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 3>a top seven tight end. You're not mentioning.

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Himyah, you only have a C grade on Kyle Pitts.

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yep, all right.

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Bengals taking on the Browns thore Joe Burrow completely cleared

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 1>off the injury report. Can we start him with confidence?

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:43.719
<v Speaker 6>We can, but I'm going to downgrade him in this

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 6>game to a B from the usual A. You mentioned

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 6>he's off the injury report with that calf injury, but

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.039
<v Speaker 6>I do think that calf injury is going to confine

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:51.040
<v Speaker 6>him to the pocket here.

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 4>I also think this is kind of a tough matchup

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 4>for Burrow.

0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.719
<v Speaker 6>Brown's pass defense twelve DVOA last year and allow the

0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 6>second fewest Fantasy points. Two opposing quarterbacks through for under

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.799
<v Speaker 6>two hundred and forty yards both times against the Browns

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 6>last year. He's never gone over two hundred and eighty

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.920
<v Speaker 6>five yards against them, so this historically top matchup for him.

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 6>His receivers here Jamar Chase obviously must start. He's obviously

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:13.679
<v Speaker 6>in a grade T Higgins.

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 4>I give him a B in this game.

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 6>He's gonna get shadowed by Martin Emerson. It's a decent

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 6>but not a great matchup for Higgins, but he's obviously

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.799
<v Speaker 6>going to get the volume there. The volume is also

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 6>the reason to play Joe Mixon here.

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 4>He's going to get that.

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 6>But I think this is a tougher matchup for Mixing

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 6>than it might appear on the surface. People remember Cleveland's

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 6>run defense with terrible last year, finished twenty sixth, but

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 6>I think that's going to be a lot better this year,

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 6>after you hire Jim Schwartz and after you remade your

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 6>defensive front. There, the Browns signed Delvin Tomlinson and Shelby Harris,

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 6>both top forty defensive tackles and run defense last year.

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 6>Also Zadarius Smith, who was twenty six in run defense

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 6>amongst edges.

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 4>So I have to give mix And a B in

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:51.279
<v Speaker 4>that one.

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 6>Moving to the Browns, the Browns have said all off

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.680
<v Speaker 6>season they want to pass more here. I'm going to

0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 6>give DeShawn Watson a great B in this game. The

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.800
<v Speaker 6>Bengals cover two defense wants to take away the deep stuff, keep.

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.720
<v Speaker 4>Everything in front of it.

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.919
<v Speaker 6>Last year, the Cincinnati pass defense allowed the third fewest

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 6>fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. I do think this is

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 6>a bounce back opportunity for Watson if important caveat if

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 6>he can effectively attack the intermediate area, amark.

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 4>So we'll go to his receivers, Amari Cooper.

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 6>I give him a c here because, as you guys know,

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 6>should do be a woozia is back now off that

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 6>ACL very underrated player.

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 4>You go back to the last full.

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 6>Season that he had twenty twenty one a WUZI A

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 6>shadowed six different times. In four of those six games,

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 6>he held the opposing wide receiver one under fifty receiving yards.

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 6>So I have to downgrade Cooper in his first game

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 6>with Watson here the receiver though that I'm upgrading in

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 6>his first game with Dishall Watson, mister Elijah Moore, because

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 6>I think they're going to have a lot of success

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 6>attacking the slot, attacking the intermediate area here. I give

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 6>Elijah Moore an a grade in this game. Wow Wow

0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 6>ran seventy five percent of his routes from the slot

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.840
<v Speaker 6>in the preseason. That is obviously what he's done since college,

0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 6>that's what he's going to be here. And I think

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 6>this is a Nikky Austin matchup for him against Mike

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 6>Calton the slot. On the other side, last year, the

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 6>Bengals gave up the tenth highest receiving yards per game

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 6>to opposing slots while seeing the eighth fewest slot targets

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 6>per game. That team stinks at defending the slots when

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.680
<v Speaker 6>they get targeted there. For that reason too, I have

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 6>to give David and djoku in eight great This is

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 6>a great matchup for Djoku too.

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 3>How about a positivity How you beat.

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 6>The Cincinnati defense. It's with slot wide receivers in the

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 6>slot tight end. They're better against the outside receivers obviously

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 6>taken away the deep stuff whatnot. Last year in Djoku

0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 6>only played versus the Bengals one time, with Deshaun Watson.

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 6>In that game, nine targets, seven receptions, fifty nine yards

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 6>end a touchdown.

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:39.559
<v Speaker 4>I really like in Djoku this week.

0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 6>Nick Chubb is an obviously must start every week, but

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:43.840
<v Speaker 6>I got it downgrade him to a be here.

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 4>Okay. Last year, the Bengals.

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.559
<v Speaker 6>Run defense allowed the sixth fewest explosive run routes, the

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 6>second lowest misstackles forced per attempt, and they returned their

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 6>entire defensive line. Last year, Nick Chubb fifty six percent

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 6>of his runs were on gap schemes. The Cincinnati run

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 6>defense is really good against that stuff. They love the

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 6>second lowest yards per carry on gap scheme runs at

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 6>three point six. Chubb is obviously matchup proof, but I

0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 6>had to ding him from the eight of the B

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 6>for that reason.

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 1>All right, wow, this is you're coming up bold swinging. Yeah,

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 1>eight grades and Ndjoku and Elijah Moore.

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that Elijah Moore thing. I looked at one of

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:17.719
<v Speaker 3>my lineups and I'm like, I'm gonna swap him out

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 3>for Skymore, get sky Moore, and it won't work. It's

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 3>not working for me.

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 1>That site must be broken.

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 3>I know, I might contact the commissioner. Get sky Moore

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:26.720
<v Speaker 3>out of there.

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Bucks take on the Vikings. I'm gonna start with the

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Buccaneers wide outs. Mike Evans a potentially very big game

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.200
<v Speaker 1>coming from him, and I've got an A grade sitting

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 1>on him. Because the Vikings are trotting out a very

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:42.600
<v Speaker 1>inexperienced set of outside cornerbacks. They're gonna start rookie Makai

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Blackman and sophomore A Caleb Evans who have a combined

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 1>two NFL starts and they've seen it combined twenty two

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 1>NFL targets. That's it last year Evans A Caleb. This

0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 1>is Evans versus Evans matchup. By the way, A Caleb

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Evans only played one side of the field, and if

0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 1>they do that again, Evans can go to the other

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 1>side of the where he'll see Makai Blackman, where he

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 1>enjoys a six inch fifty three pounds size advantage. So

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Mike Evans physically dominating Mackai Blackman when at the time

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>they see each other A grade for him. Chris Godwin

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 1>gets a B grade. Playing mostly from the slot, I

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>think we'll most often see the Vikings most seasoned cornerback

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Byron Murphy. Last year. Murphy allowed per game averages of

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm very modest thirty nine yards and point three touchdowns

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:32.319
<v Speaker 1>per game. Solid, not spectacular. Godwin will periodically move outside

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 1>with strong matchups out there. When he does. I like

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Godwin's opportunity here B grade for him, And if I've

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 1>got a B grade on Godwin and Evans, I've got

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.560
<v Speaker 1>B grad and Godwin to a on Evans. I've got

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to have a B gran on Baker Mayfield. This is

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 1>week one, might be the most positive matchup for Baker

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Mayfield's entire season. Vikings finished thirty first in passing yards

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 1>allowed last year, twenty eighth and fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks,

0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and they overhauled all their cornerbacks as I mentioned, so

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>be a totally new defensive scheme. There could be some disorganization,

0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>some chaos, and the Vikings secondary Baker Mayfield a nice

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:10.439
<v Speaker 1>plug and playoffs for you. Let's go to one of

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 1>the buccaneer wide receiver. I'm just gonna mention briefly, Trey Palmer,

0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>their rookie. He's gonna be on the field a lot

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>more than I think people realize. And on paper, this

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>is a really strong matchup in DFS and you're looking

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 1>for like your three thousand dollars dart throw. Trey Palmer

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 1>might be that guy, but I can't give him a

0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 1>letter grade until we get a better look at him.

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.199
<v Speaker 1>All right, Let's go to the running backs. Rashad White

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 1>B grade only one career game with more than thirteen carries,

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.920
<v Speaker 1>which he turned into one hundred and five yards in

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 1>that game, and he's gonna get more than thirteen carries here,

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 1>so I like that part of it. Vikings run defense

0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>was decent last year, but they've had two key interior

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:49.599
<v Speaker 1>defensive losses running linebacker Eric Kendrickson defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson,

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 1>who Thorge just mentioned a moment ago. White's a solid receiver,

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 1>snaring ninety percent of his targets last year, and as

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.680
<v Speaker 1>a starter, White average four catches per game. The Vikings

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>give the tenth most running back receptions last year, so

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.680
<v Speaker 1>I think in totality, Rashad White looking at a nice game,

0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 1>B grade for him.

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.680
<v Speaker 3>Baker Mayfield as a heck of a history if throwing

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 3>a running backs too.

0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's that rookie running back Sean Taylor is a

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>fascinating prospect. But we're gonna take a wait and see

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.440
<v Speaker 1>approach and just see how much he gets on the

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.560
<v Speaker 1>field in this game. Let's go to the Viking side.

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Justin Jefferson obvious a. I also have some optimism for

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Addison. Kevin O'Connell may choose to establish Addison early,

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I think, just to force defenses to have to play

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Justin Jefferson a little more fairly down the stretch. The

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Bucks have one good corner Jamel Dean, who plays the

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 1>right side of the field only so he's avoidable by Addison,

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 1>and then he got He's got lineups against Carlton Davis

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 1>and d Delaney. Those are positive cornerback matchups for Addison.

0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I think you can you can move him into a

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 1>flex position as a starter this week for Jordan Addison.

0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.840
<v Speaker 3>Agreed even better call I'm now I'm gonna take skuy

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:55.680
<v Speaker 3>more of Jordan Addison. Love it.

0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>DJ Hockinson B grade. Bucks were NFL average tight end

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 1>against tight ends last year, but they did a good

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 1>job against some really good tight ends. They put George

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Kittle and Mark Andrews on dud games, and in the

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.960
<v Speaker 1>second half of last year, the Bucks allowed no tight

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 1>end to top thirty four yards. That's it.

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 3>That's a low mark.

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:22.040
<v Speaker 1>That is a lowmark. Levonte David's an elite coverage linebackers.

0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>So just the B grade on TJ. Hockinson. So if

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I've given out AB's and C grades to Kirk Cousins receivers,

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 1>tells you I do like him.

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:29.440
<v Speaker 3>Here.

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.439
<v Speaker 1>The Bucks allowed the second most passing touchdowns last year

0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:35.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine, almost every non backup quarterback through multiple scores

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 1>against Tampa. Here, I've got an A grade on Kirk Cousins.

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:43.040
<v Speaker 1>And then lastly, let's talk about Alexander Madison. Dalvin Cook

0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.840
<v Speaker 1>leaves behind the third most carries and the seventh most

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:49.760
<v Speaker 1>rushing touchdowns from inside the five yard line. Also gone

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Adam Thielen and all of his receiving touchdowns from up close.

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.079
<v Speaker 1>So I like Madison to score in this game. Probably

0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Tampa only gave up seven rushing touchdowns all year, which

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 1>is impressive, But I just think through sheer, volume and opportunity,

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Madison should be fine. And a B grade for Alexander

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Madison in this game ty channeleral factor and at some

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.559
<v Speaker 1>point but not enough that I think we're going to

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:14.199
<v Speaker 1>give him a start here when we come back. Three

0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.840
<v Speaker 1>tough questions for our panel of experts. See if you

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 1>can go three and zero, and it's not too late

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 1>to join a guillotine league, you can still do it

0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Thursday night, players count, don't draft, do not draft Cadarius

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Tony on your guillotine league.

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 4>D h A Man.

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we'll skip that altogether and we'll talk a little

0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 1>bit more about those Chiefs receivers. When we come back

0:14:37.800 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>to Fantasy Football Weekly, take a chance on me nine

0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 1>players not normally in your starting lineup. These are all

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 1>guys that you may be able to pick up off

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the waiver wire or take off your benches and give

0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 1>a start to this week. In particular, we begin at

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback position in Scott Fish.

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm going with a guy who I think will

0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 3>have no trouble this year beating his total amount of

0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:30.640
<v Speaker 3>toilets in his house. It's Russell Wilson. I'm going with

0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 3>him against the Raiders who allowed the fourth moost yards

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 3>to QBS last year. It's already a decent spot. They

0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 3>ranked thirty first in past DVOA. PFF has them as

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 3>the third worst ranked secondary entering the year. Wilson went

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 3>for two thirty seven and two scores and two forty

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 3>seven against him last year. I think it's just good

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.040
<v Speaker 3>spot for him.

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:52.560
<v Speaker 1>All right, Russell Wilson, you take a chance with me

0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:53.480
<v Speaker 1>quarterback Thor.

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna go with Derek Carr against the Titans.

0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 6>Derek Carr been struggling the last couple of years with

0:15:57.680 --> 0:15:58.680
<v Speaker 6>Josh McDaniels.

0:15:58.680 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't think too highly.

0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 6>A Josh McDaniels is offensive, vacuum and red, particularly on

0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 6>the deep bot.

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 4>Derek Carr struggled the last.

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 6>Couple of years, but if you go back to twenty twenty,

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 6>Derek Carr was number two in PFF deep passing grade

0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 6>and this is a great matchup for him to get

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.760
<v Speaker 6>back on track deep. The Titans were dead last and

0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 6>deep passing defensive DVA last year and allowed the fourth

0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 6>most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. I also think the

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.640
<v Speaker 6>game script here, it's gonna skew pass heavy and aggressive

0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 6>without Alvin Kamara.

0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:26.400
<v Speaker 4>Derek Carr gets back on track here.

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I gotta go with yes, that's right. We knew, Sam Howell,

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 1>we knew it was coming.

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Ye.

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know some of you want to take away

0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and see approach, but not with the Cardinals on the schedule.

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 1>They were a bottom ten fantasy pass defense last year

0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and they looked like they're going to be quite a

0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.560
<v Speaker 1>bit worse this year with the defection of key cornerback

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Byron Murphy. Arizona expected to start cornerbacks Marco Wilson in

0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:53.880
<v Speaker 1>sixth round rookie Ki Trell Clark, and the safety position

0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 1>isn't any better with Buddha Baker and Jalen Thompson, neither

0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:01.240
<v Speaker 1>of them finished his NFL starter worthy safeties by PFF

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.199
<v Speaker 1>and coverage last year. Sam Howells got wheels and the

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.919
<v Speaker 1>only mobile quarterback to face Arizona last year Jalen Hurts,

0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.480
<v Speaker 1>who rolled up sixty one rushing yards and two scores

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:16.159
<v Speaker 1>against the Cardinals. You know, new offensive coordinator Eric the

0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Enemy faced Arizona last year in Week one, schemed up

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes for five touchdowns. I'm just saying, let's.

0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:25.880
<v Speaker 3>Go to did Patrick Mahomes just do that? Because that's

0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:26.399
<v Speaker 3>just Patrick?

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I hear he's pretty good. Sam Howells my gud. Let's

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 1>go to the running back position, Scott.

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 3>I am going with Zach Sharbonnay. He's the pass catching back,

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.560
<v Speaker 3>which you already like in a Carrol offense. It's going

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:42.440
<v Speaker 3>to run a lot. Ken Walker has had a groin

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.720
<v Speaker 3>injury for the last a long time. It went away

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:47.960
<v Speaker 3>and then it came back. It was the same groin though,

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:53.119
<v Speaker 3>just multiple interests one groyd, but it popped back up

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:54.639
<v Speaker 3>at the end of the week. He's not on the

0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 3>injury report right now, but I wouldn't I wouldn't be

0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 3>surprised if they're a little cautious with him. Go a

0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:03.160
<v Speaker 3>little light. It's a great game script where they should

0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.400
<v Speaker 3>be leading the whole game, where sharp Knick can get

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.040
<v Speaker 3>some work and Walker can get some rest.

0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Touchdown, I'm calling a touchdown for Zach sharbonnay cool. All right, Sorry,

0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:12.520
<v Speaker 1>you're take a chance on me running.

0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 6>Back deep cutt here, I'm going Kenny Gainwell against the Patriots.

0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 4>The Eagles backfielder right now.

0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.120
<v Speaker 6>It has four guys co listed as running back, one

0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:20.879
<v Speaker 6>which I haven't seen within college.

0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 4>You know, when I with the college depth charts, they

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:24.439
<v Speaker 4>always do that. I haven't seen that in the NFL.

0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.320
<v Speaker 6>The Patriots do have a strong run defense, but this

0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.760
<v Speaker 6>is the topical point as far as Gainwell goes. The

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.720
<v Speaker 6>Patriots struggle against receiving backsh tenth highs yards per reception

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:37.359
<v Speaker 6>allowed last year to running backs. Gainwell's receiving utility, I

0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.560
<v Speaker 6>think is what gets him involved here. We just need

0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.159
<v Speaker 6>one screen pass touchdown and we're good there. I think

0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:43.720
<v Speaker 6>in the second half some of these guys are going

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:45.800
<v Speaker 6>to get more run. So I think Kenny Gainwell is

0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:47.439
<v Speaker 6>a streaming option in deeper leagues.

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, it's time for Tank big speeding. Yes, he

0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.840
<v Speaker 1>goes up against Indianapolis. I look, I know again, it's

0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.360
<v Speaker 1>tough to start a rookie never seen before, but he's

0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:03.680
<v Speaker 1>coming off a phenomenal preseason in which he played with

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the starters. He looked like the best runner on the team,

0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:09.680
<v Speaker 1>honestly led the NFL in explosive runs and caught the ball.

0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:09.880
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what more do you want from Tank Bigsby?

0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 1>He looks ready here. And last year's Colts NFL average

0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and run defense. They made no offseason moves to materially

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.720
<v Speaker 1>improved that run defense. They allowed the fifth most running

0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:24.360
<v Speaker 1>back receptions last year and thirty nine receiving yards per game.

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I see Bigsby getting most of that this in this game.

0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Last year, in this matchup, the Jaguars had to resort

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:33.520
<v Speaker 1>to Trevor Lawrence scoring two goal line touchdowns after Travis

0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Etn and James Robinson got stuffed Jacksonville. It's got a

0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:39.760
<v Speaker 1>better option at the goal line this year, and it

0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:44.359
<v Speaker 1>is Tank Biggsby. Yes, baby, let's bring it on right

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:45.400
<v Speaker 1>here in Week one.

0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.320
<v Speaker 3>All right, Scott did that with hell too.

0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:51.399
<v Speaker 1>Green. Let's go to the wide receiver position. Is your take?

0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:52.400
<v Speaker 1>A chance to me a player here.

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:54.800
<v Speaker 3>I am going with six foot two two and twenty

0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:58.000
<v Speaker 3>five pound rookie Jonathan Mingo on the outside there for

0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.800
<v Speaker 3>the Indianapolis Colts. All right, sorry, not the Indiapolis coast.

0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.680
<v Speaker 3>Let's try care a lot of Panthers. Uh. With Adam

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 3>Thielen missing practice and being and having that ankle injury

0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:11.000
<v Speaker 3>that could act up again. DJ chark out arras Marshall

0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:13.760
<v Speaker 3>with a back injury. He's the only one locked into

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.000
<v Speaker 3>a definite role in the preseason. He ran with the

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:19.240
<v Speaker 3>ones the whole time on Bryce Young's thirty one drop

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:21.800
<v Speaker 3>backs in preseason, he ran a round on twenty nine

0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:25.240
<v Speaker 3>of them. He's in there, so pencil him, man, I'm

0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.800
<v Speaker 3>giving I actually gave him a C grade for this, all.

0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Right, se grade? Yeah, all right, Jonathan Mina could be

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 1>a B if they're okay, you're taking chance to be

0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver thor.

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:36.360
<v Speaker 6>I know you're gonna like this one charge. I'm going

0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:39.199
<v Speaker 6>with Rashid Shahed against the Titans. I heard some of

0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:42.080
<v Speaker 6>the resons before with Carr, but Shahid had the growing

0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:44.480
<v Speaker 6>injury earlier in Campany is not listed on the Week

0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:47.000
<v Speaker 6>one injury reports that were good in that regard. The

0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.720
<v Speaker 6>Titans last year led the NFL with twenty five point

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:53.080
<v Speaker 6>nine fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers, and as

0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:56.280
<v Speaker 6>I mentioned before, they struggled defending the deepa with Shahed

0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:58.720
<v Speaker 6>not injured anymore, that's what we're looking at. Last year,

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:02.159
<v Speaker 6>Shahed number four yards route per running the entire NFL

0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:04.480
<v Speaker 6>on go routes. Yeah, Derek Carr is going to be

0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:07.080
<v Speaker 6>targeting this guy deep. The Titans only did one thing

0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.320
<v Speaker 6>in this offseason to address their struggling secondary. They signed

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:13.119
<v Speaker 6>Sean Murphy Bunning, who is decent covering out of the slot,

0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 6>but he has always struggled on the perimeter over his career.

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.159
<v Speaker 6>Shaheed's going to stack that guy early and often in

0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:18.600
<v Speaker 6>this game.

0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:21.359
<v Speaker 1>We've given you two young wide receivers so far, and

0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:23.640
<v Speaker 1>take a chance at me. And here comes number three,

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, Green Bay wide receiver Jaden Reid yea perfect

0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.120
<v Speaker 1>spot for a rookie making his first start. He runs

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:31.959
<v Speaker 1>mostly from the slot, where he's going to face off

0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:35.400
<v Speaker 1>against Bear's cornerback Kyler Gordon, who gave up an opposing

0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:38.679
<v Speaker 1>passer rating of one hundred and ten. Chicago allowed the

0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:42.200
<v Speaker 1>ninth most fantasy points to slot receivers. Last year, Reid

0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:44.880
<v Speaker 1>was highly productive at Michigan State. As you know, well

0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.399
<v Speaker 1>Thor yep, smaller, he's not going to break tackles, but

0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:50.199
<v Speaker 1>he's got some special trades, particularly after the catch, and

0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:53.600
<v Speaker 1>he makes some acrobatic off bounce catches that should translate

0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:56.640
<v Speaker 1>to the NFL. Jaden Reid in a game without Christian

0:21:56.640 --> 0:22:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Watson for sure, and maybe a gimpy Romeo Dobbs who

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:02.760
<v Speaker 1>may or may not play, We'll take Jayden Reid to

0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.000
<v Speaker 1>have a nice first game of his career like that one.

0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:08.959
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get back to the matchups, including Jaguars

0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:10.800
<v Speaker 1>taking on the Colts Scott Fish.

0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let's do it. Trevor Lawrence, I got an a

0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:16.320
<v Speaker 3>grade on here. You probably drafted him as a top

0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:19.680
<v Speaker 3>eight quarterback anyway, but it's against a bottom ten coltste

0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:24.840
<v Speaker 3>that didn't really improve much their bottom ten against quarterbacks

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:27.959
<v Speaker 3>from a year ago. The defensive backfield entirely made up

0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:30.600
<v Speaker 3>of rookies and second year players as well, which Trevor

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:34.520
<v Speaker 3>Lawrence should have no trouble beating. He's also increased his weapons,

0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 3>adding Calvin Ridley and that tank Bigsby guy you just mentioned.

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:40.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you know what you're making to make me do?

0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:47.919
<v Speaker 3>Oh Man, Calvin Ridley, I gave a B grade. Seems

0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:50.240
<v Speaker 3>like he's back. He was a stud before the suspension.

0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:52.639
<v Speaker 3>Remember he played hurt and he was a stud. He

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:55.000
<v Speaker 3>had that foot injury that he was playing on and

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:58.160
<v Speaker 3>putting up all those stats. He should find himself close

0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:00.439
<v Speaker 3>to a top twenty four wide receiver this week. In

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 3>this matchup, just Ridley's going to be matched up against

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:08.720
<v Speaker 3>second year undrafted free agent Darryl Baker junior, possibly Dallas

0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:12.159
<v Speaker 3>Flowers rookie, but it's probably Daryl Baker junior. Dallas Flowers

0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.119
<v Speaker 3>would of course go over to Christian Kirk, who I

0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:17.800
<v Speaker 3>got a C grade on the potential for Lawrence to

0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 3>shoot this one up, and also just the report that

0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:23.480
<v Speaker 3>they had last year. It's a good matchup for both

0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:25.399
<v Speaker 3>of them. I have Zay Jones on the bench. Evan

0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:29.600
<v Speaker 3>Ingram had ninety eight targets last year and was absolutely

0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:32.760
<v Speaker 3>huge in many games down the stretch. I do have

0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 3>a C grade here. He's probably worth it and he's

0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:37.959
<v Speaker 3>probably going to get just enough volume. But I do

0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:40.239
<v Speaker 3>worry how much Ridley is going to take from that.

0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:44.320
<v Speaker 3>Of course, Ridley wasn't there last year when Ingram was

0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:47.919
<v Speaker 3>racking up all those targets. Travis Etn. I got a

0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:49.639
<v Speaker 3>B grade on and I know you're gonna hate that.

0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:51.640
<v Speaker 3>I know you're gonna hang it that because you want

0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:53.840
<v Speaker 3>Tank bagas V to be an A and Etn to

0:23:53.880 --> 0:23:54.600
<v Speaker 3>be on the bench.

0:23:55.119 --> 0:23:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, my perfect world, but yes you've already.

0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:01.480
<v Speaker 3>You've already in tanks. In your talk on Tank mentioned

0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:03.240
<v Speaker 3>to a lot of the points. I'll just add they

0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:05.840
<v Speaker 3>were ninth worst against running backs last year and etm

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Etn himself had one hundred plus in this very matchup

0:24:09.040 --> 0:24:12.280
<v Speaker 3>last year. The Jacks had no problem putting James Robinson

0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:15.000
<v Speaker 3>and James Hasty in at times. Though. That's why Tank

0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 3>Bigsby was your take a chance on me player Cartavius.

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:22.320
<v Speaker 3>Tank Bigsby Cartavius is a great name too.

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:24.560
<v Speaker 1>What don't it kind of been just cart Bigsby And

0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:26.359
<v Speaker 1>that'd have been pretty cool too. But I know that

0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:28.720
<v Speaker 1>if he were KRT Bigsby, could I do this?

0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:29.320
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:30.560
<v Speaker 1>No, no, nuts.

0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:32.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let's let's go over to the Let's go over

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:36.600
<v Speaker 3>to the Indianapolis Colts in the backfield. I don't want

0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 3>any of them in Week one. I just don't. Zach

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:42.080
<v Speaker 3>moss Is is dinged up. He may play. I don't

0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:45.480
<v Speaker 3>know if he's gonna play. But uh, Deon Jackson, he

0:24:45.640 --> 0:24:48.200
<v Speaker 3>was productive but not special last year, but it looks

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:49.919
<v Speaker 3>like he might get the start. We all kind of

0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:52.240
<v Speaker 3>like Evan Hole here. We think he's the most talented back.

0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:54.639
<v Speaker 3>But it might be a little weak one. But it's

0:24:54.680 --> 0:24:56.760
<v Speaker 3>week one. It might be a little while till he

0:24:56.800 --> 0:24:59.199
<v Speaker 3>gets in. So as long as that's a rotation, and

0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:01.160
<v Speaker 3>the coach even said they're going to play the hot hand,

0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 3>I have him on the bench. In the passing game,

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:08.360
<v Speaker 3>I only have one grade on wide receivers and tight ends,

0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:11.160
<v Speaker 3>and that's Michael Pittman. He's the alpha in the offense.

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:14.639
<v Speaker 3>We don't know how this offense is quite going to

0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:18.880
<v Speaker 3>run with Anthony Richardson without Jonathan Taylor, but last year

0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:20.840
<v Speaker 3>he went thirteen catches for one hundred and thirty four

0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:23.119
<v Speaker 3>yards on sixteen targets in this matchup, and that was

0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:28.360
<v Speaker 3>Matt Ryan at quarterback. Alec Pearce has had some chemistry

0:25:28.359 --> 0:25:31.119
<v Speaker 3>with Anthony Richardson in the preseason. I think it's a

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:32.840
<v Speaker 3>little early, and it's not a game where I think

0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:34.280
<v Speaker 3>a lot of points are going to be put up,

0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:37.080
<v Speaker 3>so I'd rather have the alpha in a C grade.

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 1>It makes sense so that no Johnny Woods is breaking

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:40.000
<v Speaker 1>my heart.

0:25:40.160 --> 0:25:42.960
<v Speaker 3>No, yeah, I know him out. It's going to be

0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:45.520
<v Speaker 3>interesting to see how Josh Downs does in that slot role.

0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:47.560
<v Speaker 3>I like that he's going to get a full compliment

0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:50.440
<v Speaker 3>of snaps with Johnny Woods out, maybe he gets a

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:51.879
<v Speaker 3>little more work, but I have him on the bench.

0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:56.640
<v Speaker 3>That brings me to Anthony Richardson. Even if the passing

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:58.520
<v Speaker 3>is you know how much I love him, You love them.

0:25:58.640 --> 0:26:02.440
<v Speaker 3>But even if the passing isn't there, if it's more

0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:06.680
<v Speaker 3>fields in field, can I use field dad, Yes, for sure,

0:26:06.960 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 3>field deed. If it's more fields, we're looking at maybe

0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:14.000
<v Speaker 3>what one hundred and fifty two hundred yards in a

0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:16.960
<v Speaker 3>matchup like this, maybe he scores a touchdown, but I

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:20.200
<v Speaker 3>will guarantee you based on the designed runs in the preseason,

0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:23.840
<v Speaker 3>I will guarantee Anthony Richardson gets at least six points

0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:26.880
<v Speaker 3>on the ground at least all right, so sixty plus

0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:30.879
<v Speaker 3>yards or a touchdown. Absolutely that he ran so many

0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:33.760
<v Speaker 3>design runs in the in the in the preseason, and

0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:36.360
<v Speaker 3>without Jonathan Taylor he might get that goal line work.

0:26:36.480 --> 0:26:39.480
<v Speaker 3>We don't know what's going to happen yet. I will say,

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:42.760
<v Speaker 3>if he does not get that six fancy points guaranteed.

0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:44.080
<v Speaker 1>On the ground, you may get nothing.

0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 3>I would know that that's true. But I will personally

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:50.679
<v Speaker 3>not show my face in the studio next week. I

0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:51.760
<v Speaker 3>won't come on the show.

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:54.639
<v Speaker 3>That's I will not come in.

0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:55.720
<v Speaker 1>I have to face the music.

0:26:55.880 --> 0:26:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Yes. Also, if he does get it, and I'm correct,

0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:02.280
<v Speaker 3>I will, I will stay home and celebrate. That's what

0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:02.600
<v Speaker 3>I'll do.

0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Next week Titans take on the Saints thor we get

0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 1>our first look at DeAndre Hopkins as a Titan. What

0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:09.520
<v Speaker 1>do you think of this passing game?

0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:12.800
<v Speaker 6>In this game, I'm gonna give Hopkins in this one,

0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:15.439
<v Speaker 6>you know, drawing Marshawn Laddimer, Obviously, it's a tough matchup

0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:17.600
<v Speaker 6>for him. I'm gonna give Hopkins a B though, because

0:27:17.640 --> 0:27:20.000
<v Speaker 6>he's gonna get peppered with wide receiver one targets.

0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:21.280
<v Speaker 4>We know that last year.

0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:24.080
<v Speaker 6>You look at Hopkins' win rate against man, against zone,

0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:27.400
<v Speaker 6>and incontested situations, those all suggest that he was still

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:29.879
<v Speaker 6>a low end wide receiver one in the NFL. So

0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:31.879
<v Speaker 6>I think he's sort of a solid fantasy option in

0:27:31.920 --> 0:27:34.520
<v Speaker 6>his debut, I'm going to give him a be. Ryan Tannehill,

0:27:34.560 --> 0:27:36.680
<v Speaker 6>I have to give him a SE. I do think

0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:38.440
<v Speaker 6>he was better last year than people think. He was

0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:41.440
<v Speaker 6>still number nine in accurate throw rate, and now he's

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:43.639
<v Speaker 6>got the best pass catchers of his entire career to

0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:45.639
<v Speaker 6>work with in the NFL. But this is not the

0:27:45.680 --> 0:27:48.720
<v Speaker 6>week to go crazy on him against Saints pass defense

0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:51.880
<v Speaker 6>finished number six dv away in the NFL last year.

0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:54.440
<v Speaker 6>Treylon Brooks is a guy that I'm bullish on over

0:27:54.480 --> 0:27:57.280
<v Speaker 6>the course of the season, but not necessarily for this game.

0:27:57.480 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 6>I give him a grade of B, mostly because he's

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:02.119
<v Speaker 6>higher than I thought. Oh I'm sorry to see I come.

0:28:02.880 --> 0:28:05.119
<v Speaker 6>That makes more sense for Taylor Burtin mostly I'll give

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:06.760
<v Speaker 6>him a B in most of the other games this year,

0:28:06.800 --> 0:28:08.959
<v Speaker 6>but in this one he's got a lone Taylor across

0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:10.720
<v Speaker 6>from him. I think that's a tough matchup for Berks.

0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:12.840
<v Speaker 6>We're gonna give him a SEA. I give chick a

0:28:12.920 --> 0:28:15.439
<v Speaker 6>kon Quo a bench grade. I would not recommend him

0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 6>this week. The Saints pass defense, sort of like the

0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:21.600
<v Speaker 6>New England Patriot one, is notorious for stifling tight end

0:28:21.600 --> 0:28:24.399
<v Speaker 6>production on the other side. Last year, New Orleans allowed

0:28:24.400 --> 0:28:26.920
<v Speaker 6>the second least Fantasy points to opposing tight ends, so

0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:28.800
<v Speaker 6>I got to keep Chick on the bench. The guy

0:28:28.800 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 6>who I think this is an awesome matchup for on

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:32.520
<v Speaker 6>the Titans offense is Derrick Henry.

0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:33.320
<v Speaker 4>Great a.

0:28:33.520 --> 0:28:35.880
<v Speaker 6>Obviously, he's a mus start every week, but this week

0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:37.200
<v Speaker 6>is one of the best matchup you're going to have

0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:39.680
<v Speaker 6>all year. Henry finished fifth in the NFL and gap

0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:42.560
<v Speaker 6>concept runs last year. The Saints allowed the fourth highest

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:45.960
<v Speaker 6>success rate against gap runs last year, and then over

0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:48.360
<v Speaker 6>the offseason, New Orleans just stuck band aids on their

0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:51.960
<v Speaker 6>hemorrhaging defensive front that has not gotten any better. Derrick

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:54.360
<v Speaker 6>Henry is going to have a huge opener as far

0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:57.760
<v Speaker 6>as the Saints. Derek Carr and Rashid Shahid earlier this

0:28:58.120 --> 0:29:00.280
<v Speaker 6>or before in this segment, they were both both might

0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:02.360
<v Speaker 6>take a chance on you guys. Yeah, both those guys

0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:05.240
<v Speaker 6>I have B grades on. We're going to continue along

0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:07.840
<v Speaker 6>the same narrative here though with Chris Olave, who I

0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 6>give an a grade two in this matchup. Recall that

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 6>I said how bad the Titans were against the deep ball. Yes,

0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:16.360
<v Speaker 6>Chris Olave, awesome deep ball guy. Last year, the Titans

0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:18.960
<v Speaker 6>allowed the most receiving yards end touchdowns on goal routes

0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 6>last year. Chris Olave number twelve and deep targets in

0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:24.480
<v Speaker 6>the NFL and number fourteen in yards per route run

0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:26.480
<v Speaker 6>on goal routes. We got to give him an a

0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:29.080
<v Speaker 6>and Christian Fulton, the guy across from him, not very good.

0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:31.400
<v Speaker 6>One hundred two point four NFL q be raiding against

0:29:31.440 --> 0:29:34.400
<v Speaker 6>on targets with only two passes broken up last year.

0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:34.840
<v Speaker 4>Not great.

0:29:34.920 --> 0:29:36.560
<v Speaker 1>How do you go a whole season only break up

0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:37.640
<v Speaker 1>two passes.

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:39.400
<v Speaker 4>That stuff and he gave up five touchdowns.

0:29:39.480 --> 0:29:40.720
<v Speaker 1>It's cuzzy.

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 6>The guy I'm fading in that passing game is Michael Thomas.

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:44.920
<v Speaker 6>I'm going to keep him on the bench. Actually in

0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:47.160
<v Speaker 6>this one. I can't trust Michael Thomas until I see

0:29:47.160 --> 0:29:49.719
<v Speaker 6>it over an entire regular season game. Thirty year old

0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:52.240
<v Speaker 6>question mark with ten appearances over the last three years.

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:54.360
<v Speaker 6>This game, you know, I mentioned I think the game

0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:57.320
<v Speaker 6>script is going to be more aggressive with the downfield

0:29:57.360 --> 0:29:59.840
<v Speaker 6>shots and everything else like that. And that's not Michael Thomas.

0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:02.520
<v Speaker 6>Not Michael Thomas. He's an intermediate guy coming out of

0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:05.400
<v Speaker 6>the slot. And Roger McCreery he's not the most athletic guy,

0:30:05.440 --> 0:30:07.560
<v Speaker 6>but is the most physical guy. Is going to be

0:30:07.560 --> 0:30:10.200
<v Speaker 6>in a fistfight with Michael Thomas the entire game. Maybe

0:30:10.200 --> 0:30:12.240
<v Speaker 6>not the funnest game for Michael Thomas to come back

0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:15.280
<v Speaker 6>in this one. I need to see him get through

0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:17.320
<v Speaker 6>a full game. The other guy that I like, though

0:30:17.360 --> 0:30:20.560
<v Speaker 6>is Juwan Johnson. I give him a B. I was

0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:23.320
<v Speaker 6>more pessimistic about him earlier in camp with they signed

0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:26.080
<v Speaker 6>Foster Moreau right and I thought Foster is a better

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:29.120
<v Speaker 6>receiver than Troutman, certainly the guy that they shipped out.

0:30:29.280 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 6>But Juwan Johnson was getting hype all camp long. Obviously

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:34.320
<v Speaker 6>he's going to be the primary receiving tight end again.

0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:36.480
<v Speaker 6>I think he's going to get more targets, more snaps

0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:39.080
<v Speaker 6>this year. Titans last year allowed the most receiving yards

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 6>to opposing tight ends and the third most receptions to

0:30:42.240 --> 0:30:43.240
<v Speaker 6>opposing tight ends.

0:30:43.480 --> 0:30:45.040
<v Speaker 4>Very very good matchup for Juwan Johnson.

0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:47.040
<v Speaker 6>I actually have him as a top twelve fantasy tight

0:30:47.120 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 6>end this coming week.

0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I like it.

0:30:48.600 --> 0:30:50.719
<v Speaker 6>And then as far as the Saints run game, obviously

0:30:50.800 --> 0:30:53.520
<v Speaker 6>everyone will recall Elvin Kamara is suspended and it does

0:30:53.560 --> 0:30:56.240
<v Speaker 6>not look like Kendray Miller will play, So if nothing else.

0:30:56.320 --> 0:30:58.360
<v Speaker 4>Jamal Williams came over from the lines.

0:30:58.400 --> 0:31:00.760
<v Speaker 6>He is going to get the volume, but it's still

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 6>a sort of a tough matchup for him, so I

0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:04.040
<v Speaker 6>give him a great sea on this.

0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:04.840
<v Speaker 3>The volume C.

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 6>The volume C yes, outside the top fifty yards per

0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:11.920
<v Speaker 6>touch last year for Williams and the Titans, the number

0:31:11.960 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 6>one run defense DVOA last season.

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:17.840
<v Speaker 1>When we come back, another block of matchups for you,

0:31:17.880 --> 0:31:21.920
<v Speaker 1>including Arizona Cardinals, a lot of commanders that we like

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:25.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot, and some sneaky plays. We'll tell you about

0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:27.760
<v Speaker 1>those when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly.

0:31:38.240 --> 0:31:39.760
<v Speaker 3>All right, good job that one, or.

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. We've got other block of

0:31:50.840 --> 0:31:53.520
<v Speaker 1>matchups for you. You gotta get this Cardinals game over

0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:55.400
<v Speaker 1>with at some point. Let's just tear off the Vandy

0:31:55.440 --> 0:31:58.120
<v Speaker 1>and get this thing done. There's really not a lot

0:31:58.160 --> 0:32:00.720
<v Speaker 1>to like here, we believe all so. They haven't said

0:32:00.840 --> 0:32:03.560
<v Speaker 1>as of this taping who the quarterback is going to be.

0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:05.240
<v Speaker 1>We think it's gonna be Josh Dobbs. We'll fly in.

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 1>We'll find out later. You're not starting him, obviously. Let's

0:32:08.240 --> 0:32:09.680
<v Speaker 1>go to the running game. And really, the only guy

0:32:09.720 --> 0:32:12.800
<v Speaker 1>you care a lot about is James Connor with little

0:32:12.800 --> 0:32:15.160
<v Speaker 1>threat from the passing game, I think James Connor gets

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:18.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of defensive attention from the Commanders. Washington was

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a very good run defense last year, and particularly down

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the stretch final eight games. They allowed just three touchdowns

0:32:24.280 --> 0:32:27.960
<v Speaker 1>to running backs ground or air, and all season only

0:32:28.040 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Nick Chubb and Derrick Henry managed to top eighty seven yards,

0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and those are far better running runners and far better

0:32:35.040 --> 0:32:38.120
<v Speaker 1>offenses than this Arizona one. Washington was also an elite

0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:41.000
<v Speaker 1>defense against pass catching backs, only one runner top thirty

0:32:41.000 --> 0:32:43.760
<v Speaker 1>three receiving yards. I can only muster a C grade

0:32:44.040 --> 0:32:46.360
<v Speaker 1>for James Connor in this one. And the only guy

0:32:46.400 --> 0:32:48.480
<v Speaker 1>you care about to Marquis Brown, and tragically, he's got

0:32:48.520 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 1>a hamstring, so I struggle to recommend him either by

0:32:52.560 --> 0:32:55.640
<v Speaker 1>a mile the best of the Cardinals receivers, but the Cardinals,

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:59.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Commander's secondary garbage last year. They've added

0:32:59.080 --> 0:33:01.840
<v Speaker 1>first and second round rookies at the cornerback position who

0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 1>might help. So maybe garbage time here keeps Brown startable.

0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna give him the SE grade both the hamstring injury.

0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Any play could be his last, and you're really risking

0:33:10.480 --> 0:33:12.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot, so start him at your own warning. A

0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:15.360
<v Speaker 1>C grade on Marquise Brown. Okay, let's go to the

0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:18.760
<v Speaker 1>commander side, beginning with Sam Howell. Might take a chance

0:33:18.800 --> 0:33:20.920
<v Speaker 1>on me quarterback. We love Sam Howell in this one,

0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:24.760
<v Speaker 1>and I like his receivers. Johan Dotson, love his chances

0:33:24.760 --> 0:33:30.560
<v Speaker 1>for a big game hard work. No, I can't go

0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:35.480
<v Speaker 1>double a r Mark. I can't do it. Dotson is

0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:39.360
<v Speaker 1>eric b Enemy's field stretching receiver, averaging a crazy fourteen

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:42.320
<v Speaker 1>point seven yards per reception last year. Those fifth best

0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:45.600
<v Speaker 1>in the league, and last year Arizona allowed the most

0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:48.560
<v Speaker 1>yards after the catch. Big place coming for Johan Dotson

0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:53.400
<v Speaker 1>potentially here. Cornerback Antonio Hamilton allowed a one hundred plus

0:33:53.440 --> 0:33:55.840
<v Speaker 1>passer rating in four of his six starts. So I

0:33:55.960 --> 0:33:58.560
<v Speaker 1>like the opportunity for Johan Dotson in this game. I've

0:33:58.560 --> 0:34:01.720
<v Speaker 1>got a B grade on him. Got a C grade

0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:05.840
<v Speaker 1>on Terry McLaurin. I would like the matchup more. The

0:34:05.880 --> 0:34:08.319
<v Speaker 1>turf toe looks to be okay, but man, those are

0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:11.920
<v Speaker 1>tricky receivers. Yes, they can limit your acceleration, they can

0:34:11.920 --> 0:34:14.640
<v Speaker 1>limit your cutting. I think those are two important factors

0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:17.400
<v Speaker 1>in this game. So I got a C grade on

0:34:17.480 --> 0:34:19.759
<v Speaker 1>him here It could very well be the Commanders get

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:22.160
<v Speaker 1>ahead and then just don't pass that much. Maybe so,

0:34:22.360 --> 0:34:24.760
<v Speaker 1>and maybe they rest McLaurin and they rest his toe.

0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:27.040
<v Speaker 1>So I can only muster a se grade on McLaurin,

0:34:27.560 --> 0:34:30.040
<v Speaker 1>the guy I love and who you should with all

0:34:30.120 --> 0:34:33.960
<v Speaker 1>of these tight end injuries. Yes, go get Logan Thomas.

0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:36.080
<v Speaker 3>I started him in place at Kelsey in the league night.

0:34:36.120 --> 0:34:37.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm super happy about it.

0:34:37.160 --> 0:34:39.279
<v Speaker 1>It's silly done. I've heard tight ends can thrive into

0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:41.879
<v Speaker 1>Eric Beta be offense. I've heard he can scheme open

0:34:41.920 --> 0:34:44.600
<v Speaker 1>a tight end or two. Last year, the Cardinals allowed

0:34:44.640 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 1>the most tight end receptions and the most tight end touchdowns.

0:34:49.120 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Logan Thomas is your official FFW.

0:34:52.040 --> 0:34:53.640
<v Speaker 3>I love how we have one of those every year,

0:34:53.680 --> 0:34:55.920
<v Speaker 3>like the Giants were that one year the Cardinals. I

0:34:55.960 --> 0:34:58.000
<v Speaker 3>love that there's one that just cannot.

0:34:57.600 --> 0:34:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Beat up on every year.

0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:02.680
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely for streamings so easy. So I've got a.

0:35:02.600 --> 0:35:05.799
<v Speaker 1>B grade and Logan Thomas position adjusted, he'd be an

0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:07.560
<v Speaker 1>A at just the tight end position given all the

0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:10.680
<v Speaker 1>other injuries there, Let's go to the running backs for

0:35:10.760 --> 0:35:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Brian Robinson. If it's not gonna happen now, when I

0:35:15.160 --> 0:35:17.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't love the version I saw last year. But you

0:35:17.600 --> 0:35:20.399
<v Speaker 1>gotta get better here. Cardinals ranked twenty seventh and run

0:35:20.440 --> 0:35:23.080
<v Speaker 1>defense by Pro Football Focus. Last year. They allowed the

0:35:23.120 --> 0:35:26.880
<v Speaker 1>third most fantasy points to opposing runners. There's no obvious

0:35:26.920 --> 0:35:29.919
<v Speaker 1>improvements in the defense for the Cardinals. Let's try Brian

0:35:30.040 --> 0:35:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Robinson with a B grade here, and let's consider Antonio Gibson.

0:35:34.640 --> 0:35:37.640
<v Speaker 1>If you believe he's gonna take the Jeric McKinnon role

0:35:38.200 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 1>for Eric b enemy as a pass catcher, this might

0:35:41.120 --> 0:35:44.760
<v Speaker 1>be his best opportunity all year. Cardinal's destroyed by runners

0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:47.799
<v Speaker 1>through the air last year, allowing the most running back receptions,

0:35:48.040 --> 0:35:50.920
<v Speaker 1>for the most running back receiving yards, and the second

0:35:50.920 --> 0:35:55.720
<v Speaker 1>most running back receiving touchdowns. So Antonio Gibson nice player

0:35:55.760 --> 0:35:58.680
<v Speaker 1>here as well, will give him a C grade. Let's

0:35:58.719 --> 0:36:01.240
<v Speaker 1>go to our next game, that is the Raiders taking

0:36:01.280 --> 0:36:01.920
<v Speaker 1>on the Broncos.

0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:04.919
<v Speaker 3>Scott, Yeah, on the Raiders side, I don't like much

0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:07.360
<v Speaker 3>in the passing game. I don't like this offense. I

0:36:07.360 --> 0:36:10.680
<v Speaker 3>don't like a Jimmy g Led offense against a Broncos

0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:13.320
<v Speaker 3>team that was third best against quarterbacks last year, second

0:36:13.360 --> 0:36:16.520
<v Speaker 3>best against wide receivers. The only passing game option I

0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:19.839
<v Speaker 3>am even starting in this one is DeVante Adams, and

0:36:19.880 --> 0:36:22.160
<v Speaker 3>he's only getting a B grade. He had a great

0:36:22.160 --> 0:36:25.360
<v Speaker 3>game last year, one hundred plus yards in both games

0:36:25.360 --> 0:36:27.680
<v Speaker 3>against the Broncos last year, but that was with Derek

0:36:27.719 --> 0:36:31.759
<v Speaker 3>Carr slightly different offense, and this year he's going to

0:36:31.800 --> 0:36:35.960
<v Speaker 3>be going up against pat certain Patzertan. I just I

0:36:36.000 --> 0:36:37.440
<v Speaker 3>don't think it's a good spot for him. I've got

0:36:37.480 --> 0:36:40.239
<v Speaker 3>a B grade on him, with an A grade though,

0:36:40.320 --> 0:36:42.680
<v Speaker 3>Josh Jacobs with his new one year deal, I think

0:36:42.680 --> 0:36:44.680
<v Speaker 3>they're gonna do to Josh Jacobs what they did to

0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:48.879
<v Speaker 3>Josh Jacobs last year. Yes, a ton of work won't

0:36:48.880 --> 0:36:50.880
<v Speaker 3>make Jimmy g do much. Last year he had one

0:36:50.960 --> 0:36:52.880
<v Speaker 3>hundred and seventy five yards and two scores in the

0:36:52.880 --> 0:36:55.319
<v Speaker 3>first matchup and one hundred and sixty yards in the

0:36:55.360 --> 0:36:58.560
<v Speaker 3>second matchup. Now, the pass game isn't worthy of being feared,

0:36:58.600 --> 0:37:00.640
<v Speaker 3>so that might bring those numbers down a little bit.

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.319
<v Speaker 3>But I got an A grade on Josh Jacobs. Over

0:37:03.400 --> 0:37:06.440
<v Speaker 3>on the other side, Russell Wilson was might take a

0:37:06.520 --> 0:37:09.160
<v Speaker 3>chance on me player. I mentioned how much they allowed

0:37:09.200 --> 0:37:12.480
<v Speaker 3>to quarterbacks and wide receivers last year, how their defense

0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:15.239
<v Speaker 3>is thirty first past dy of Voa, and they have

0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:18.120
<v Speaker 3>the third worst secondary entering this year, according to Pro

0:37:18.120 --> 0:37:21.160
<v Speaker 3>Football Focus. So I have some grades out here. I

0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:22.960
<v Speaker 3>got a B grade on Sutton. You could talk me

0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:25.920
<v Speaker 3>into an A, but a B grade on Sutton. When

0:37:25.960 --> 0:37:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Judy was out last year, Sutton had huge target shares

0:37:28.920 --> 0:37:32.600
<v Speaker 3>near thirty percent. He went five for fifty two to one,

0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:35.359
<v Speaker 3>and five for eighty in this matchup. Judy missed both

0:37:35.400 --> 0:37:38.040
<v Speaker 3>of those games. We'll see if Judy plays in this one.

0:37:38.360 --> 0:37:40.400
<v Speaker 3>If I have Judy on my team, I am not

0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:43.520
<v Speaker 3>starting him. It's a late game. I don't want to

0:37:43.760 --> 0:37:46.840
<v Speaker 3>have that be an issue to that something comes up late,

0:37:47.239 --> 0:37:49.160
<v Speaker 3>late in the afternoon. I want to make that decision

0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:54.360
<v Speaker 3>before the game start. Denzel mams Man. I love Denzel

0:37:54.360 --> 0:37:57.920
<v Speaker 3>mams He's one of three healthy options for Russell Wilson.

0:37:58.320 --> 0:38:01.719
<v Speaker 3>In college, he only dropped seven balls and most of

0:38:01.760 --> 0:38:03.440
<v Speaker 3>his most of his work, a lot of his work,

0:38:03.480 --> 0:38:06.320
<v Speaker 3>over third of his work was deep downfield, twenty plus

0:38:06.400 --> 0:38:09.719
<v Speaker 3>yard downfield. In fact, he had twenty plus yards per

0:38:09.840 --> 0:38:14.520
<v Speaker 3>catch in college over two seasons. He just needs I

0:38:14.560 --> 0:38:16.560
<v Speaker 3>got a SE grade. All he needs is one big one.

0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Marvin Mims Marvin moms C grade. All he needs is

0:38:21.000 --> 0:38:23.399
<v Speaker 3>one big one. I'm keeping Dulcinch and Troutman on the bench.

0:38:23.480 --> 0:38:25.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't I don't know how this joker role is

0:38:25.440 --> 0:38:28.440
<v Speaker 3>gonna work. They were splitting so much in preseason. No thanks.

0:38:29.120 --> 0:38:32.640
<v Speaker 3>As far as the run game, Champagne says Javonte Williams

0:38:32.719 --> 0:38:35.600
<v Speaker 3>is in for a big role. We'll see if that's true.

0:38:35.640 --> 0:38:39.799
<v Speaker 3>He's often used two backs. He's also a liar exactly.

0:38:40.120 --> 0:38:42.120
<v Speaker 3>I actually wrote in here I trust him as much

0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:45.920
<v Speaker 3>as I trust my five year old stories from kindergarten. So,

0:38:46.960 --> 0:38:49.520
<v Speaker 3>given the matchup against the seventh worst d from a

0:38:49.600 --> 0:38:52.839
<v Speaker 3>year ago, a team that allows a ton of receptions

0:38:52.880 --> 0:38:55.759
<v Speaker 3>and receiving yards to backs a year ago, I have

0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:58.279
<v Speaker 3>a B grade on Javonte Williams. You could maybe even

0:38:58.320 --> 0:39:01.160
<v Speaker 3>snick sneak in a C grade for some maj Pierryn.

0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Ooh okay, let's go to the final matchup of this segment,

0:39:04.680 --> 0:39:07.239
<v Speaker 1>forty nine Ers taking on the Steelers. Kenny Pickett coming

0:39:07.280 --> 0:39:09.320
<v Speaker 1>off a very promising preseason thor.

0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:11.120
<v Speaker 6>Sure is Yeah, I'm gonna give him a great B

0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:14.200
<v Speaker 6>in this one. It's a weird matchup, right. San Francisco

0:39:14.239 --> 0:39:16.520
<v Speaker 6>has a pass final defense, but they have that very

0:39:16.560 --> 0:39:19.440
<v Speaker 6>good pass rush, So I think Kenny Pickett his utility

0:39:19.480 --> 0:39:21.839
<v Speaker 6>in this game HiT's as much about the pass pro

0:39:22.040 --> 0:39:24.279
<v Speaker 6>as it is about his performance itself. Yeah, I do

0:39:24.320 --> 0:39:27.040
<v Speaker 6>think Darnel Washington helps out with that more twelve personnel

0:39:27.080 --> 0:39:29.200
<v Speaker 6>in this game. Darnald Washington one of the best blocking

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:31.400
<v Speaker 6>Titans we've seen come out the past several years. The

0:39:31.440 --> 0:39:33.680
<v Speaker 6>forty nine Ers allowed the fourth highest completion rate in

0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:36.680
<v Speaker 6>tenth most deep passing yards on deep balls last year,

0:39:36.800 --> 0:39:39.480
<v Speaker 6>which brings me into the Steelers wide receivers love George

0:39:39.480 --> 0:39:41.560
<v Speaker 6>Pickens in this game. I'm giving George Pickens a greade

0:39:41.560 --> 0:39:44.279
<v Speaker 6>of a wow. Deanna Johnson, I'm gonna give him a B.

0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:47.040
<v Speaker 6>Pickens and Johnson last year they tied for the team

0:39:47.120 --> 0:39:50.000
<v Speaker 6>lead with sixty one goal routes a piece. Johnson was

0:39:50.000 --> 0:39:52.719
<v Speaker 6>targeted on thirty four percent of them, Pickens was on

0:39:52.880 --> 0:39:55.120
<v Speaker 6>forty one percent. You look at the forty nine Ers

0:39:55.160 --> 0:39:58.360
<v Speaker 6>outside cornerbacks Ward six foot one, one ninety eight lenor

0:39:58.520 --> 0:40:00.719
<v Speaker 6>five to ten to two to one. Pickens is six

0:40:00.719 --> 0:40:03.640
<v Speaker 6>foot three and tire five pounds of dynamite. I think

0:40:03.680 --> 0:40:05.759
<v Speaker 6>you're gonna see some mossing going on there with pick

0:40:05.800 --> 0:40:08.000
<v Speaker 6>And chucking it up to him deep Friarm with the

0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:09.480
<v Speaker 6>tight end there. I don't think it's as good of

0:40:09.520 --> 0:40:11.200
<v Speaker 6>a matchup for him. I give him a great see

0:40:11.239 --> 0:40:13.520
<v Speaker 6>in this one. San Francisco gave up the twelve fewest

0:40:13.560 --> 0:40:16.160
<v Speaker 6>receiving yards at tight ends and eight fewest fantasy points

0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:18.680
<v Speaker 6>per game to tight ends last year. I also think

0:40:18.680 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 6>this isn't a very good matchup for Naje. Harris kind

0:40:21.160 --> 0:40:23.280
<v Speaker 6>of goes without saying he's got to split the carries

0:40:23.280 --> 0:40:26.040
<v Speaker 6>with Jalen Warren, who I got a bench on Warren.

0:40:26.200 --> 0:40:28.160
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna give Nase a see though in this one.

0:40:28.200 --> 0:40:30.640
<v Speaker 6>Low end started with this matchup San Francisco. I love

0:40:30.680 --> 0:40:33.600
<v Speaker 6>the second fewest rush yards and the lowest explosive run

0:40:33.640 --> 0:40:34.279
<v Speaker 6>rate last year.

0:40:34.360 --> 0:40:37.280
<v Speaker 4>Very good run defense. Moving on to the forty nine ers.

0:40:37.440 --> 0:40:39.640
<v Speaker 6>Yet you have sort of a matchup specific thing for

0:40:39.680 --> 0:40:42.520
<v Speaker 6>the wide receivers going on on this side too. Pittsburgh

0:40:42.560 --> 0:40:46.000
<v Speaker 6>loves man coverage. They always have I Yuki san Francisco's

0:40:46.400 --> 0:40:49.120
<v Speaker 6>man beater, whereas deebo is the zone beater. You can

0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:51.800
<v Speaker 6>just look throughout this thing. I UK versus man coverage

0:40:51.840 --> 0:40:54.799
<v Speaker 6>was number fourteen last year, and targets per route, per route,

0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:58.200
<v Speaker 6>run rate and number nineteen in yards per route run

0:40:58.360 --> 0:41:01.200
<v Speaker 6>rate if I can talk percent and two point four

0:41:01.280 --> 0:41:04.439
<v Speaker 6>for those two things. Deebo versus man coverage last year

0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:07.759
<v Speaker 6>sixteen percent, so fourteen percent lower on target per route

0:41:07.800 --> 0:41:10.439
<v Speaker 6>run rate and one point four yards per route run

0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:12.560
<v Speaker 6>That's a full yard less than Auk. So I give

0:41:12.600 --> 0:41:14.840
<v Speaker 6>Ayuk and I give Debo a C in this one.

0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:17.600
<v Speaker 6>George Kittle is questionable with the groin injury, as you

0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:20.080
<v Speaker 6>guys know, I give him a great B. If he plays,

0:41:20.080 --> 0:41:22.319
<v Speaker 6>are gonna have to monitor that one. Pittsburgh was sort

0:41:22.360 --> 0:41:24.239
<v Speaker 6>of middle of the pack against tight ends last year.

0:41:24.239 --> 0:41:26.439
<v Speaker 6>I expect him to be again. Brock Perty, I'm also

0:41:26.440 --> 0:41:28.560
<v Speaker 6>going to give him a seed. Last year he did

0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:31.240
<v Speaker 6>not face one pass defense that ranked better than thirteenth

0:41:31.360 --> 0:41:34.960
<v Speaker 6>in defensive DVOA against the pass. But I do think

0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:37.880
<v Speaker 6>Perty is startable in super flex formats, and then of

0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:41.719
<v Speaker 6>course Christian McCaffrey startable week that's obvious. Give him give

0:41:41.760 --> 0:41:44.759
<v Speaker 6>him an a here, but if he has a thermonuclear game,

0:41:44.960 --> 0:41:47.040
<v Speaker 6>it's got to come through the air as opposed to

0:41:47.080 --> 0:41:49.439
<v Speaker 6>on the ground. Steelers give up the fifth highest yards

0:41:49.440 --> 0:41:52.359
<v Speaker 6>per reception to opposing running backs last year, but they

0:41:52.360 --> 0:41:54.799
<v Speaker 6>had the third highest stuff rate in the league last year.

0:41:55.080 --> 0:41:57.319
<v Speaker 1>All right, I like it well done. This is uh,

0:41:57.440 --> 0:42:00.279
<v Speaker 1>this is a Steelers offense that I find fascinating. I

0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:03.399
<v Speaker 1>believe the addition of Broderick Jones on that offensive line

0:42:03.440 --> 0:42:08.120
<v Speaker 1>has got to help. First rounder there. You mentioned Elephantine

0:42:08.120 --> 0:42:11.680
<v Speaker 1>tight end Darnell Washington in passing, who I'm fascinated by.

0:42:11.760 --> 0:42:14.480
<v Speaker 1>They called him the big O at Georgia because he

0:42:14.600 --> 0:42:17.560
<v Speaker 1>is gigantic and he wore the number zero. I think

0:42:17.600 --> 0:42:20.640
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be a sneaky, a little bit of a

0:42:20.640 --> 0:42:23.400
<v Speaker 1>better receiver than people think. You're not not fantasy startable

0:42:23.480 --> 0:42:25.920
<v Speaker 1>or rosterable, but Darnell Washington.

0:42:26.120 --> 0:42:28.839
<v Speaker 3>Is just it's it's good for the offense, you know,

0:42:29.160 --> 0:42:32.080
<v Speaker 3>rising tide, raises elboats. You know, maybe that kind of

0:42:32.080 --> 0:42:33.200
<v Speaker 3>work will help the whole team.

0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:34.799
<v Speaker 6>And if nothing else, is gonna be hard to keep

0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:36.800
<v Speaker 6>him off the field because he's a third offensive tackle

0:42:36.840 --> 0:42:38.240
<v Speaker 6>for you, just a maller.

0:42:38.280 --> 0:42:40.719
<v Speaker 4>But the receiving could come along. Georgia didn't use him much.

0:42:40.600 --> 0:42:42.600
<v Speaker 6>There because they have Brock Bowers, one of the best

0:42:42.640 --> 0:42:44.720
<v Speaker 6>receiving tight end prospects we've got the last decade.

0:42:44.719 --> 0:42:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Brock Bauers is going to go in the top ten

0:42:46.680 --> 0:42:49.160
<v Speaker 1>of next year's draft, maybe the top five of next

0:42:49.200 --> 0:42:52.960
<v Speaker 1>year's draft. I mean, he's he is. His NFL potentials unbelievable.

0:42:53.120 --> 0:42:53.600
<v Speaker 4>It's different.

0:42:53.719 --> 0:42:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And if Darnell Washington hadn't played behind him, he'd

0:42:56.560 --> 0:42:58.360
<v Speaker 1>probably have been drafted higher. A lot more targets on

0:42:58.400 --> 0:43:01.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot more targets. Yeah. Absolutely. You can still join

0:43:09.080 --> 0:43:11.759
<v Speaker 1>low scoring team gets cut from the league and all

0:43:11.760 --> 0:43:14.120
<v Speaker 1>their players go to the waiver wire, where the rest

0:43:56.160 --> 0:43:58.520
<v Speaker 1>with you. Thank you for joining us. This is a

0:43:58.560 --> 0:44:01.520
<v Speaker 1>game we like to call three tough questions.

0:44:02.320 --> 0:44:04.040
<v Speaker 5>Tough question number one.

0:44:05.080 --> 0:44:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Obviously, every player and every situation is different, but broadly speaking,

0:44:10.520 --> 0:44:14.120
<v Speaker 1>how much should you react to the revelations that will

0:44:14.120 --> 0:44:18.480
<v Speaker 1>emerge from week one? Is it a lot, a little,

0:44:19.320 --> 0:44:22.200
<v Speaker 1>or not at all? We begin with Scott Fish.

0:44:22.480 --> 0:44:26.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so we work in an industry where we have

0:44:26.280 --> 0:44:30.040
<v Speaker 3>to analyze based on already a small sample size looking

0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:33.440
<v Speaker 3>back at last year's seventeen to twenty one data points.

0:44:33.480 --> 0:44:38.640
<v Speaker 3>Maybe it's not baseball, right, and week one is the

0:44:39.200 --> 0:44:42.600
<v Speaker 3>one of what twenty and it's the most current, it's

0:44:42.640 --> 0:44:46.240
<v Speaker 3>the most updated. We've seen how the offenses are schemed.

0:44:46.280 --> 0:44:49.800
<v Speaker 3>We've seen how the defenses are schemed. We've seen usage

0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:52.640
<v Speaker 3>and snap counts and targets per route run. I mean,

0:44:52.719 --> 0:44:55.600
<v Speaker 3>no one wants to get Frisman Jackson, right, that's for sure.

0:44:55.640 --> 0:44:56.839
<v Speaker 1>I knew you would mention him.

0:44:56.920 --> 0:44:59.480
<v Speaker 3>I will always mention Frisman Jackson with stuff like this

0:44:59.560 --> 0:45:02.600
<v Speaker 3>comes up. But it is the most recent data points,

0:45:02.600 --> 0:45:05.400
<v Speaker 3>so it's not not at all. I don't know that

0:45:05.480 --> 0:45:10.080
<v Speaker 3>it's a lot, because it's only one point. It's it's

0:45:10.560 --> 0:45:12.520
<v Speaker 3>if I have to choose between these three, it's a little,

0:45:12.520 --> 0:45:15.239
<v Speaker 3>but I'd say it's more like thirty seven percent than

0:45:15.280 --> 0:45:18.480
<v Speaker 3>it is like twenty percent. Right, it's a it's a

0:45:18.560 --> 0:45:20.160
<v Speaker 3>it's a decent chunk. It's just not a.

0:45:20.080 --> 0:45:22.759
<v Speaker 1>Lot, a lot. Okay, maybe I should have put it

0:45:22.880 --> 0:45:25.799
<v Speaker 1>up A lot, some, some or not at all.

0:45:25.840 --> 0:45:26.479
<v Speaker 3>I'm going send.

0:45:26.480 --> 0:45:28.799
<v Speaker 1>I'll just changing the question on the foe like a lot,

0:45:29.000 --> 0:45:31.520
<v Speaker 1>some or not at all? Okay.

0:45:32.480 --> 0:45:32.719
<v Speaker 5>Four.

0:45:33.480 --> 0:45:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Broadly, how much should you react to the revelations that

0:45:36.160 --> 0:45:38.960
<v Speaker 1>will emerge in Week one? A lot, some or not

0:45:39.040 --> 0:45:39.319
<v Speaker 1>at all?

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:42.120
<v Speaker 6>I would say some, but closer to a lot than

0:45:42.200 --> 0:45:44.719
<v Speaker 6>to none. You know, it's like Scott was saying, you

0:45:44.800 --> 0:45:47.680
<v Speaker 6>have to make situational assumptions in the preseason when you know,

0:45:47.719 --> 0:45:49.840
<v Speaker 6>when you do your draft, everything like that. But you

0:45:49.880 --> 0:45:52.839
<v Speaker 6>get finite data points in week one, so that that

0:45:52.920 --> 0:45:54.759
<v Speaker 6>piece of the pie heading into Week two I think

0:45:54.880 --> 0:45:58.200
<v Speaker 6>is bigger than in any other individual week. You can't

0:45:58.280 --> 0:46:00.600
<v Speaker 6>underreact to it like the data you get in week one,

0:46:00.680 --> 0:46:02.200
<v Speaker 6>so I'd say closer to a lot.

0:46:02.760 --> 0:46:05.920
<v Speaker 1>There are definitely strong takeaways from week one, especially in

0:46:05.920 --> 0:46:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the cases of pure talent that exposes itself and also

0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:13.600
<v Speaker 1>a lack of talent that exposes itself and teams aren't

0:46:13.640 --> 0:46:16.360
<v Speaker 1>hiding things. You really hit on this, Scott. You know

0:46:16.440 --> 0:46:18.239
<v Speaker 1>they're playing to win. I mean, you know they're not

0:46:18.239 --> 0:46:22.000
<v Speaker 1>out like hiding their best players. They're trying to win

0:46:22.239 --> 0:46:24.399
<v Speaker 1>games and put their best players in position to win.

0:46:24.840 --> 0:46:26.799
<v Speaker 1>So and I think a lot of times you can

0:46:26.840 --> 0:46:30.399
<v Speaker 1>identify the Week one flukes like Carson wentz is four

0:46:30.520 --> 0:46:33.080
<v Speaker 1>touchdown game from Week one of last year, and the

0:46:33.120 --> 0:46:35.239
<v Speaker 1>other thing I think that you can very much take

0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:38.719
<v Speaker 1>away from those mid to late round flyers you were

0:46:38.760 --> 0:46:42.160
<v Speaker 1>hoping we're gonna hit. You can look at and go,

0:46:42.320 --> 0:46:45.399
<v Speaker 1>this is not gonna work out last year Week one

0:46:45.560 --> 0:46:49.359
<v Speaker 1>like Michael Carter, rex Burghead, Antonio Gibson, Darryl Henderson all

0:46:49.400 --> 0:46:51.799
<v Speaker 1>bombed in Week one. Those are all guys that maybe

0:46:51.800 --> 0:46:54.000
<v Speaker 1>you thought were gonna help you. They didn't help you,

0:46:54.239 --> 0:46:56.880
<v Speaker 1>And I think you can read into that. I can't

0:46:56.880 --> 0:46:59.359
<v Speaker 1>say a lot because there are misleading things that happened

0:46:59.400 --> 0:47:01.840
<v Speaker 1>in Week one, but we will go with the correct

0:47:01.880 --> 0:47:04.200
<v Speaker 1>answer of some. But we're as thor as you put it,

0:47:04.239 --> 0:47:05.759
<v Speaker 1>we're on the a lot side of some.

0:47:06.080 --> 0:47:08.279
<v Speaker 3>Yes. For absolutely Number.

0:47:08.360 --> 0:47:10.680
<v Speaker 5>One tough question number two.

0:47:11.560 --> 0:47:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Should you cut any cheaps wide receivers you may have drafted.

0:47:15.680 --> 0:47:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's begin with Thor.

0:47:17.080 --> 0:47:20.919
<v Speaker 6>Only if his name is Cadarius, Tony, get Cadarius off

0:47:20.960 --> 0:47:23.360
<v Speaker 6>your rosters. I think it's too early to judge on

0:47:23.400 --> 0:47:25.799
<v Speaker 6>the rest. But this is obviously a big stock up

0:47:25.840 --> 0:47:28.319
<v Speaker 6>Game four where she Rice and it is obviously a

0:47:28.400 --> 0:47:31.600
<v Speaker 6>very disappointing development for sky Moore, so he'd be stocked down.

0:47:31.600 --> 0:47:33.479
<v Speaker 4>But I'm only cutting Cadarius of those guys, all.

0:47:33.440 --> 0:47:35.959
<v Speaker 1>Right, Scott, are we cutting all of our chiefs wide

0:47:35.960 --> 0:47:37.200
<v Speaker 1>receivers we may have drafted.

0:47:37.320 --> 0:47:39.239
<v Speaker 3>I think the key point is all and it also

0:47:39.320 --> 0:47:45.120
<v Speaker 3>depends on what's on your waiver wire. Uh so, Ross

0:47:45.280 --> 0:47:48.120
<v Speaker 3>you could probably pick back up later. It seems like

0:47:48.200 --> 0:47:51.440
<v Speaker 3>he's going to be behind people Sky and Tony. I

0:47:51.480 --> 0:47:53.360
<v Speaker 3>think that they're gonna get a lot more chances, and

0:47:53.400 --> 0:47:55.879
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna see a different offense when the number one

0:47:55.960 --> 0:47:58.680
<v Speaker 3>receiving threat is back on the field and they aren't,

0:47:58.800 --> 0:48:01.759
<v Speaker 3>you know, hyper focused on stopping those two. So we're

0:48:01.760 --> 0:48:04.320
<v Speaker 3>gonna see a completely different way that they're going to

0:48:04.400 --> 0:48:07.240
<v Speaker 3>deal with those two receivers. But like Thors said, Rashi, Rice,

0:48:07.800 --> 0:48:11.440
<v Speaker 3>he breaks this all part of your comment because he

0:48:11.480 --> 0:48:13.800
<v Speaker 3>looked decent and I like his long term potential.

0:48:14.480 --> 0:48:16.840
<v Speaker 1>So you'll know when the question is should you cut

0:48:17.239 --> 0:48:19.760
<v Speaker 1>all the Chiefs wide receivers you may have drafted? Yeah,

0:48:19.800 --> 0:48:22.400
<v Speaker 1>this is a different question. Then will any of the

0:48:22.480 --> 0:48:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs wide receivers have like a decent season?

0:48:24.920 --> 0:48:26.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, it's not absolutely.

0:48:26.520 --> 0:48:30.440
<v Speaker 1>That's not the same question because it's possible that one

0:48:30.440 --> 0:48:32.320
<v Speaker 1>of the two, one of the two Chiefs wide receivers

0:48:32.320 --> 0:48:34.360
<v Speaker 1>are going to end up with decent year long stats.

0:48:34.920 --> 0:48:38.359
<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't matter if you can't predict when the

0:48:38.360 --> 0:48:40.440
<v Speaker 1>good games are gonna happen, when the bad games are

0:48:40.440 --> 0:48:43.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen. I need to know when can I put

0:48:43.200 --> 0:48:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Skymore in my lineup? When can I put Rahi Rice

0:48:45.600 --> 0:48:48.319
<v Speaker 1>in my lineup? On this show? Let me ask you

0:48:48.360 --> 0:48:50.960
<v Speaker 1>to this, thinking ahead to the rest of the shows

0:48:50.960 --> 0:48:53.680
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna do this year. How many times is a

0:48:53.760 --> 0:48:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs receiver going to get a B grade?

0:48:58.200 --> 0:49:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Not often, I've I've been We're years into not wanting

0:49:03.200 --> 0:49:06.319
<v Speaker 3>to start Chiefs wide receivers, like many years into they

0:49:06.360 --> 0:49:10.480
<v Speaker 3>spread around outside of Kelsey. So B grade is right,

0:49:10.520 --> 0:49:13.160
<v Speaker 3>and a B grade's the threshold of confidence. These are

0:49:13.200 --> 0:49:15.080
<v Speaker 3>take a chance on me players most of the season.

0:49:15.160 --> 0:49:17.320
<v Speaker 1>That's all they are, That's what they're just take a chance.

0:49:17.160 --> 0:49:18.480
<v Speaker 3>Their season, take a chance on me.

0:49:18.520 --> 0:49:20.520
<v Speaker 1>And I'm including Rashid Rice in this. It's nice that

0:49:20.520 --> 0:49:22.319
<v Speaker 1>he scored a touchdown, but if that hadn't if that

0:49:22.360 --> 0:49:24.640
<v Speaker 1>had been a six yard touchdown, if that had been

0:49:24.640 --> 0:49:27.719
<v Speaker 1>just a six yard catch, sidelines too, he had he

0:49:27.800 --> 0:49:31.000
<v Speaker 1>had the three catches twenty nine yards. He was only

0:49:31.000 --> 0:49:32.160
<v Speaker 1>on the field for twenty snaps.

0:49:32.239 --> 0:49:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's a problem.

0:49:33.120 --> 0:49:35.520
<v Speaker 1>You know it's gonna be the rotation is going to

0:49:35.560 --> 0:49:39.640
<v Speaker 1>be maddeningly unpredictable, and I gotta start my lineup before

0:49:39.640 --> 0:49:40.399
<v Speaker 1>the game kicks off.

0:49:40.440 --> 0:49:42.399
<v Speaker 3>So you just want to sabotage drop that Week one.

0:49:42.480 --> 0:49:44.279
<v Speaker 1>It's not even know if it's a sabotage drop at

0:49:44.280 --> 0:49:44.840
<v Speaker 1>this point.

0:49:44.640 --> 0:49:45.000
<v Speaker 4>But I do.

0:49:45.120 --> 0:49:47.880
<v Speaker 1>People will pick them up, they will, but I'm dropping

0:49:48.080 --> 0:49:49.800
<v Speaker 1>all Chiefs receivers.

0:49:50.400 --> 0:49:52.160
<v Speaker 5>Tough question number three.

0:49:52.320 --> 0:49:54.279
<v Speaker 1>All Right, your last chance for a big season long

0:49:54.320 --> 0:49:58.760
<v Speaker 1>prediction right here, The highest scoring player in fantasy football

0:49:58.800 --> 0:50:00.600
<v Speaker 1>this year will be who Scott?

0:50:00.880 --> 0:50:03.600
<v Speaker 3>So I immediately think quarterback, and you immediately want to

0:50:03.640 --> 0:50:07.120
<v Speaker 3>go to Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes or whatever. I

0:50:07.280 --> 0:50:10.680
<v Speaker 3>just I ever wanted maybe maybe I'm or Jalen Hurts.

0:50:10.840 --> 0:50:13.440
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I'm just a little bored. But I'm gonna go

0:50:13.520 --> 0:50:16.080
<v Speaker 3>a few a few spots deeper and go Justin Herbert.

0:50:17.160 --> 0:50:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Two years ago he went for five k and thirty

0:50:19.239 --> 0:50:21.640
<v Speaker 3>eight touchdowns, five thousand yards and thirty eight touchdowns in

0:50:21.680 --> 0:50:23.879
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty one. Last year, he went for forty seven

0:50:23.920 --> 0:50:25.880
<v Speaker 3>hundred yards and twenty five touchdowns.

0:50:26.080 --> 0:50:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Hurt down here, hurt down.

0:50:27.920 --> 0:50:31.960
<v Speaker 3>Here most of the season, and without Keenan Allen for

0:50:32.280 --> 0:50:34.920
<v Speaker 3>and Mike Williams for I think auld combined something like

0:50:34.960 --> 0:50:38.920
<v Speaker 3>eleven games between the two of them. He's now got

0:50:39.000 --> 0:50:42.080
<v Speaker 3>Kellen Moore, He's now got a better depth forth receiver

0:50:42.160 --> 0:50:45.960
<v Speaker 3>in Quentin Johnson. I just I can see him being

0:50:46.040 --> 0:50:49.360
<v Speaker 3>a five thousand and forty plus touchdown guy again. Maybe

0:50:49.440 --> 0:50:53.040
<v Speaker 3>run a few more in without being injured. He's my goal.

0:50:53.880 --> 0:50:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Justin air bear all right four, the highest scoring player

0:50:58.719 --> 0:51:01.520
<v Speaker 1>in fantasy football this year will be who I'm following.

0:51:01.600 --> 0:51:04.800
<v Speaker 6>Fisher's the same route but with a different guy. Lamar

0:51:04.920 --> 0:51:07.160
<v Speaker 6>Jackson for me, I'm going to put him at the top.

0:51:07.200 --> 0:51:09.719
<v Speaker 6>I love him in Todd Monkins's air Raid system, and

0:51:09.800 --> 0:51:12.719
<v Speaker 6>Baltimore finally has good receivers. You go back to when

0:51:13.040 --> 0:51:16.080
<v Speaker 6>Lamar Jackson was at louisvo it was spreading the field,

0:51:16.200 --> 0:51:19.200
<v Speaker 6>forcing the defenses to defend deep. He's a very good passer,

0:51:19.480 --> 0:51:22.439
<v Speaker 6>very underrated. That's when he got all the rushing opportunities.

0:51:22.480 --> 0:51:24.520
<v Speaker 6>I think spreading the field, getting those guys out there,

0:51:24.760 --> 0:51:25.680
<v Speaker 6>that's it's.

0:51:25.520 --> 0:51:27.800
<v Speaker 4>Also going to open up Lamar Moore running there as well.

0:51:28.360 --> 0:51:30.239
<v Speaker 1>All right, I love the addition as a flowers. I

0:51:30.280 --> 0:51:32.719
<v Speaker 1>think that will help that off starts a lot. That

0:51:32.880 --> 0:51:35.640
<v Speaker 1>neither of those are the correct answer though, that's bad. Yeah.

0:51:35.680 --> 0:51:39.160
<v Speaker 1>In ESPN scoring system, Jalen Hurts scored over one hundred

0:51:39.239 --> 0:51:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy points, more than any running back, wide receiver, a

0:51:41.600 --> 0:51:44.640
<v Speaker 1>tight end, but still behind Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.

0:51:44.920 --> 0:51:46.680
<v Speaker 1>But here's where Jalen Hurts is going to be even

0:51:46.719 --> 0:51:50.000
<v Speaker 1>better this year. A the rushing. He scored thirteen rushing

0:51:50.040 --> 0:51:53.040
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns before they had figured out the Tushe push. Now

0:51:53.080 --> 0:51:56.560
<v Speaker 1>with the Toushe push, that thirteen becomes what seventeen I mean,

0:51:56.600 --> 0:51:58.400
<v Speaker 1>could be sitting on Could it be sitting on a

0:51:58.480 --> 0:52:03.360
<v Speaker 1>league leading number of runs touchdowns? Very possibly for Jalen Hurts.

0:52:03.680 --> 0:52:07.680
<v Speaker 1>But it's really the passing that can elevate Hurts last

0:52:07.719 --> 0:52:13.160
<v Speaker 1>year modest numbers thirty six hundred passing yards twenty two scores.

0:52:13.600 --> 0:52:15.680
<v Speaker 1>That was Derek Carr who got bench for two games

0:52:15.719 --> 0:52:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and still put up thirty six hundred yards and twenty

0:52:17.640 --> 0:52:20.760
<v Speaker 1>five scores. Hurts has got the upside to get better

0:52:20.920 --> 0:52:23.000
<v Speaker 1>given who his receivers are to be more like four

0:52:23.040 --> 0:52:26.080
<v Speaker 1>thousand passing yards and thirty passing touchdowns. That would make

0:52:26.160 --> 0:52:28.520
<v Speaker 1>him the clear cut highest scoring player.

0:52:28.360 --> 0:52:30.880
<v Speaker 3>In the league. Okay, I thought about it.

0:52:30.960 --> 0:52:33.279
<v Speaker 1>Let's go back to the matchups Texans are taking on

0:52:33.360 --> 0:52:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the Ravens, and you guys know how I feel about

0:52:37.080 --> 0:52:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Damian Pierce.

0:52:38.239 --> 0:52:40.160
<v Speaker 3>No is that could you tell us the sound of

0:52:40.200 --> 0:52:42.959
<v Speaker 3>a Pierce Darrow that's a dart throw, but you feel

0:52:42.960 --> 0:52:44.320
<v Speaker 3>like he's a dart throw player.

0:52:44.400 --> 0:52:45.600
<v Speaker 1>That's he's really naughty.

0:52:45.600 --> 0:52:46.799
<v Speaker 3>He's in a C grade here.

0:52:47.040 --> 0:52:49.239
<v Speaker 1>No, well, I can only muster a B grade because

0:52:49.280 --> 0:52:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't like the matchup and the entire passing games

0:52:51.640 --> 0:52:53.320
<v Speaker 1>on the bench. Let's go with the passing game first.

0:52:53.560 --> 0:52:54.879
<v Speaker 1>Houston's passing games on the bench.

0:52:54.960 --> 0:52:55.200
<v Speaker 2>C J.

0:52:55.320 --> 0:52:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Stroud's preseason was not great. He looked inaccurate, he did

0:52:58.680 --> 0:53:01.120
<v Speaker 1>not look poised. His mechanic were off. I didn't like

0:53:01.160 --> 0:53:03.840
<v Speaker 1>what I saw there first. Start rookie trying to implement

0:53:03.840 --> 0:53:06.520
<v Speaker 1>a brand new offense from a brand new offensive coordinator.

0:53:06.680 --> 0:53:09.200
<v Speaker 1>And the Ravens secondary's good. It's not great, but it's good.

0:53:09.960 --> 0:53:13.680
<v Speaker 1>The cornerback. Houston could pick on his rak Yassin, who

0:53:13.719 --> 0:53:16.080
<v Speaker 1>is already on his third team, But I just don't

0:53:16.080 --> 0:53:18.520
<v Speaker 1>trust the Texans passing game in this situation, and I

0:53:18.560 --> 0:53:20.560
<v Speaker 1>need to see. I want to see a little something first.

0:53:20.560 --> 0:53:22.399
<v Speaker 1>So I've got the entire passing game on the bench.

0:53:23.000 --> 0:53:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Damian Pierce. Baltimore is a good run defense.

0:53:26.440 --> 0:53:29.080
<v Speaker 1>They allowed the sixth fewest fantasy points. They ranked seventh

0:53:29.080 --> 0:53:31.279
<v Speaker 1>in PFF grade last year against the run, just three

0:53:31.320 --> 0:53:34.480
<v Speaker 1>point nine yards per carry against, good for third best.

0:53:34.960 --> 0:53:38.319
<v Speaker 1>Baltimore returns pretty much everybody from last year's defense. Only

0:53:38.360 --> 0:53:42.000
<v Speaker 1>one back cracked one hundred yards against the Ravens all year,

0:53:42.160 --> 0:53:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and it took Najee Harris twenty two attempts to get there.

0:53:45.800 --> 0:53:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Everybody expects Pierce to have an expanded receiving role. I

0:53:48.719 --> 0:53:51.400
<v Speaker 1>do too. He's gonna need it. Ravens allowed the sixth

0:53:51.400 --> 0:53:54.160
<v Speaker 1>most running back receptions, the fifth most running back receiving

0:53:54.239 --> 0:53:56.560
<v Speaker 1>yards last year. The good news is, if there's one

0:53:56.600 --> 0:53:58.839
<v Speaker 1>touchdown to be had from Houston's offense in this game,

0:53:59.080 --> 0:54:01.600
<v Speaker 1>in a tough game at the Ravens, I think Damian

0:54:01.640 --> 0:54:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Pierce gets it, hopefully chips in some of the receiving

0:54:03.880 --> 0:54:05.879
<v Speaker 1>that we think we were going to develop. And I've

0:54:05.880 --> 0:54:09.280
<v Speaker 1>got a B grade on Damian Pierce. Better days ahead.

0:54:09.440 --> 0:54:11.720
<v Speaker 1>If he flops in this one, go try to trade

0:54:11.719 --> 0:54:14.040
<v Speaker 1>for Damian Pierce as one of the tougher matchups on

0:54:14.080 --> 0:54:18.120
<v Speaker 1>the schedule. Let's go to the Baltimore side. I'm gonna

0:54:18.120 --> 0:54:21.040
<v Speaker 1>start with JK. Dobbins. The Texans allowed a league worse

0:54:21.480 --> 0:54:24.160
<v Speaker 1>of one hundred and seventy eight total yards and one

0:54:24.200 --> 0:54:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and a half touchdowns per game to opposing running backs

0:54:27.160 --> 0:54:31.160
<v Speaker 1>last season. Now, the Texans defense should be improved. You've

0:54:31.160 --> 0:54:34.600
<v Speaker 1>got a new defensive minded head coach in Demico Ryans,

0:54:34.960 --> 0:54:38.799
<v Speaker 1>and he oversaw San Francisco's league best run defense. And

0:54:38.920 --> 0:54:42.759
<v Speaker 1>the Texans added Sheldon Rankins, Denzel Perriman, Corey Littleton, and

0:54:42.800 --> 0:54:44.640
<v Speaker 1>they added Will Anderson in the draft. I mean, those

0:54:44.640 --> 0:54:47.440
<v Speaker 1>are all people that should improve the front seven here.

0:54:47.560 --> 0:54:50.359
<v Speaker 1>So Dobbins an assassin at the goal line and a

0:54:50.360 --> 0:54:55.200
<v Speaker 1>touchdown feels very likely here. A grade for JK. Dobbins, yep.

0:54:55.400 --> 0:54:58.239
<v Speaker 1>I can't go to to Gus Edwards. I got it.

0:54:58.280 --> 0:54:59.759
<v Speaker 1>I think it could be mop up time though in

0:54:59.800 --> 0:55:02.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot opsided win, so you could start him in

0:55:02.200 --> 0:55:04.120
<v Speaker 1>an absolute pinch here. But we're not going to do that.

0:55:04.320 --> 0:55:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the passing game. I want to start

0:55:06.600 --> 0:55:08.480
<v Speaker 1>with the receivers. I got a se grade on Zay

0:55:08.520 --> 0:55:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Flowers in his first game. He looks very promising. He's

0:55:11.000 --> 0:55:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the healthiest of the Ravens receivers, and he'll go up

0:55:13.680 --> 0:55:18.120
<v Speaker 1>against Houston cornerback Tavier Thomas in the slot. Thomas does

0:55:18.160 --> 0:55:19.920
<v Speaker 1>not have a long resume, particularly for a guy in

0:55:19.920 --> 0:55:22.520
<v Speaker 1>a sixth season, but he's graded up pretty well last year.

0:55:22.640 --> 0:55:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Did not allow more than twenty four yards or any

0:55:24.640 --> 0:55:27.120
<v Speaker 1>scores in any game last year, including six as a starter.

0:55:27.480 --> 0:55:30.239
<v Speaker 1>The Houston pass defenses you remember may remember from last

0:55:30.280 --> 0:55:34.120
<v Speaker 1>year sneaky good see grade on Zay Flowers see grade.

0:55:34.120 --> 0:55:36.560
<v Speaker 1>And Rashad Bateman, who should be near full health at

0:55:36.560 --> 0:55:40.279
<v Speaker 1>this point. In last year's offense, he ran mostly from

0:55:40.320 --> 0:55:42.120
<v Speaker 1>the left side of the field. That would put him

0:55:42.120 --> 0:55:45.400
<v Speaker 1>primarily on Darryl Stingley Junior. Last year's first round rookie

0:55:45.480 --> 0:55:48.000
<v Speaker 1>year was pretty good. Last year not great, but pretty good.

0:55:48.120 --> 0:55:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Should be better in year two. The new Todd Munken

0:55:50.760 --> 0:55:53.640
<v Speaker 1>offense should really should really help Bateman here, who suffered

0:55:53.680 --> 0:55:56.600
<v Speaker 1>from low volume under Greg Roman for years. So I've

0:55:56.640 --> 0:55:58.680
<v Speaker 1>got a se grade on Bateman. I don't love the matchup,

0:55:58.719 --> 0:56:01.040
<v Speaker 1>but I do like him. If you were at I

0:56:01.120 --> 0:56:03.040
<v Speaker 1>were sure he was one hundred percent healthy, he had

0:56:03.040 --> 0:56:05.319
<v Speaker 1>probably started here. We're not going to OBJ. He's got

0:56:05.320 --> 0:56:07.600
<v Speaker 1>to prove he's completely healthy off his second ACL, and

0:56:07.600 --> 0:56:10.040
<v Speaker 1>he missed time this week in practice. I don't like that.

0:56:10.800 --> 0:56:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Mark Andrews not healthy. Unfortunately we're already here hamstring injury.

0:56:17.000 --> 0:56:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Were he healthy, I would give him an A grade,

0:56:19.520 --> 0:56:21.840
<v Speaker 1>And if he does not go, Isaiah likely would be

0:56:21.880 --> 0:56:25.319
<v Speaker 1>an amazing waiver wire starter in this matchup. Good tight

0:56:25.440 --> 0:56:29.920
<v Speaker 1>ends roasted the Texans last year. Evan Ingram, Dalton Schultz,

0:56:29.960 --> 0:56:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Travis Kelce, Gerald, Everett, Logan Thomas all top sixty yards,

0:56:33.400 --> 0:56:36.239
<v Speaker 1>half of them scored touchdowns. Hopefully Andrews can go and

0:56:36.239 --> 0:56:38.040
<v Speaker 1>then you kind of have to start him here. But

0:56:38.080 --> 0:56:41.880
<v Speaker 1>if he can't, Isaiah likely a great waiver wire addition.

0:56:42.480 --> 0:56:46.160
<v Speaker 1>So I've given good not great grades to all these receivers.

0:56:46.239 --> 0:56:48.800
<v Speaker 1>This puts me onto a B grade and Lamar Jackson

0:56:48.880 --> 0:56:51.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe not the smash spot. It feels like for the

0:56:51.880 --> 0:56:55.080
<v Speaker 1>first time since getting drafted, totally new offense for Lamar Jackson.

0:56:55.120 --> 0:56:57.720
<v Speaker 1>He's got all these new receivers, right, OBJ, Zay Flowers

0:56:57.760 --> 0:57:01.160
<v Speaker 1>and Integrate. Bateman and Obj didn't play for most of

0:57:01.239 --> 0:57:03.360
<v Speaker 1>training camp. There's a lot of moving parts in what

0:57:03.440 --> 0:57:06.600
<v Speaker 1>could be sort of a rusty offense here. And last year,

0:57:06.600 --> 0:57:10.239
<v Speaker 1>as I mentioned, Texans allowed the fewest passing touchdowns in

0:57:10.280 --> 0:57:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the league fifteen, and they were top ten in passing

0:57:13.719 --> 0:57:17.240
<v Speaker 1>yards allowed. And they were good against rushing quarterbacks, allowing

0:57:17.280 --> 0:57:20.520
<v Speaker 1>just seventeen quarterback rushing yards per game and only two

0:57:20.560 --> 0:57:23.760
<v Speaker 1>quarterback rushing touchdowns all year. So I can only give

0:57:23.760 --> 0:57:26.680
<v Speaker 1>you a B grade on Lamar Jackson in this game.

0:57:27.880 --> 0:57:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to our final matchup of this segment, and

0:57:30.240 --> 0:57:33.920
<v Speaker 1>that is the Dolphins taking on the Chargers. Scott, I

0:57:33.920 --> 0:57:36.800
<v Speaker 1>think Dolphins are gonna get destroyed in this game. No

0:57:36.920 --> 0:57:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Tarren Armstead from their offensive line, which is a big loss.

0:57:40.200 --> 0:57:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is a game where the projected total is

0:57:44.440 --> 0:57:47.160
<v Speaker 3>well into the fifties, the highest of the highest of

0:57:47.200 --> 0:57:49.040
<v Speaker 3>the weekend. I do expect it to be somewhat of

0:57:49.040 --> 0:57:51.960
<v Speaker 3>a shootout, but in the favor of the Chargers almost

0:57:52.000 --> 0:57:55.960
<v Speaker 3>the entire game. I have a B grade. Onto two

0:57:56.080 --> 0:57:58.240
<v Speaker 3>had his worst full game of the year against the

0:57:58.320 --> 0:58:00.720
<v Speaker 3>Chargers last year, going for just one hundred and forty

0:58:00.720 --> 0:58:04.160
<v Speaker 3>five yards in a score. Granted, that was his worst

0:58:04.160 --> 0:58:07.360
<v Speaker 3>game of his Of last year, he only had three

0:58:07.400 --> 0:58:10.760
<v Speaker 3>games below seventeen Fantasy points. Two he got concussions, and

0:58:10.800 --> 0:58:13.440
<v Speaker 3>one was this one. It makes sense though, because the

0:58:13.560 --> 0:58:19.640
<v Speaker 3>Chargers defense, although riddled riddled with injuries last year, were

0:58:19.640 --> 0:58:23.800
<v Speaker 3>one of the best in the NFL. Let's see. Let's

0:58:23.800 --> 0:58:27.280
<v Speaker 3>go over to the wide receivers, non Cheetah or Penguin

0:58:27.320 --> 0:58:31.240
<v Speaker 3>wide receivers. The tight ends routinely struggled to get even

0:58:31.360 --> 0:58:33.439
<v Speaker 3>three catches. And if you don't catch what I mean,

0:58:34.000 --> 0:58:38.600
<v Speaker 3>Tyreek Hill, the Cheetah and Jalen Waddle, they get almost

0:58:38.680 --> 0:58:42.439
<v Speaker 3>everything in that offense. They should be able to move

0:58:42.480 --> 0:58:44.800
<v Speaker 3>around to avoid a Sante Samuel most of the time,

0:58:44.840 --> 0:58:46.760
<v Speaker 3>but he'll be on Waddle most of the time. So

0:58:46.760 --> 0:58:50.280
<v Speaker 3>Waddle gets the B, Tyreek Hill gets the A. They're

0:58:50.320 --> 0:58:53.920
<v Speaker 3>both great for great spike weeks. Tyreek Hill had ten targets,

0:58:54.160 --> 0:58:56.439
<v Speaker 3>racking up eighty one in a score in this game

0:58:56.480 --> 0:58:58.600
<v Speaker 3>last year. You're not benching Tyrek Hill. Why am I

0:58:58.640 --> 0:59:01.400
<v Speaker 3>wasting time on you? Not? You're also not starting Durn's

0:59:01.480 --> 0:59:05.560
<v Speaker 3>Duram Smythe, even though Brian Brian would love you too.

0:59:07.400 --> 0:59:09.880
<v Speaker 3>But let's let's go over to the run game. The

0:59:09.920 --> 0:59:12.160
<v Speaker 3>only guy I'm willing to start is Raheem Moster, and

0:59:12.200 --> 0:59:15.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty pretty hesitant on that because I think it'll

0:59:15.440 --> 0:59:17.760
<v Speaker 3>be a little bit of a committee. Devin a Chain

0:59:17.880 --> 0:59:20.200
<v Speaker 3>coming off that injury, he should be he should be

0:59:20.240 --> 0:59:22.560
<v Speaker 3>ready to go a little risky though in his first game,

0:59:22.800 --> 0:59:24.880
<v Speaker 3>so iv An Aukman should also be ready to go.

0:59:25.000 --> 0:59:28.280
<v Speaker 3>But the Chargers were fifth worst against running backs just

0:59:28.320 --> 0:59:31.400
<v Speaker 3>a year ago, sixth worst the year before. Maybe Brendon

0:59:31.400 --> 0:59:34.280
<v Speaker 3>Staley focuses on stopping the past too much and doesn't

0:59:34.880 --> 0:59:37.360
<v Speaker 3>just lets teams run on him. Maybe that's the problem.

0:59:37.760 --> 0:59:40.360
<v Speaker 3>So with Jeff Wilson going to IR, Moster's going to

0:59:40.400 --> 0:59:42.560
<v Speaker 3>get the sneaky C grade here, probably going to get

0:59:42.680 --> 0:59:46.840
<v Speaker 3>enough volume. Just a note on that Broncos d it

0:59:46.880 --> 0:59:49.240
<v Speaker 3>was injury plague last year, but it held quarterbacks and

0:59:49.240 --> 0:59:51.880
<v Speaker 3>wide receivers to the seventh lowest yards per game at

0:59:51.880 --> 0:59:54.480
<v Speaker 3>just two hundred and five yards per game. Wow, that's

0:59:54.560 --> 0:59:56.720
<v Speaker 3>really not a lot, So to A getting a B

0:59:56.920 --> 1:00:00.400
<v Speaker 3>might be aggressive from me on that one. Over on

1:00:00.440 --> 1:00:04.520
<v Speaker 3>the other side, justin Herbert, the Dolphins allowed him. The

1:00:04.640 --> 1:00:08.520
<v Speaker 3>Dolphins allowed the fourth most Fantasy points and fifth most

1:00:08.760 --> 1:00:12.120
<v Speaker 3>yards to qbs a year ago. Three hundred and six.

1:00:12.240 --> 1:00:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Three hundred and sixty seven of those yards came from Herbert.

1:00:14.760 --> 1:00:18.360
<v Speaker 3>That was his highest total of the year. Uh, that

1:00:18.440 --> 1:00:22.920
<v Speaker 3>was That was a game where I'm sorry, that was

1:00:22.920 --> 1:00:24.120
<v Speaker 3>his highest total of the year.

1:00:24.440 --> 1:00:24.560
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

1:00:24.880 --> 1:00:28.360
<v Speaker 3>The Miami Dolphins are a banged up secondary missing already

1:00:28.360 --> 1:00:31.840
<v Speaker 3>missing Jalen Ramsey, who's on IR and Herbert's gonna have

1:00:31.880 --> 1:00:34.360
<v Speaker 3>his full complemental weapons. He's gonna have Keenan Allen and

1:00:34.400 --> 1:00:37.560
<v Speaker 3>Mike Williams. Josh Palmer did very little when both of

1:00:37.560 --> 1:00:39.720
<v Speaker 3>them were healthy last year, so he's on the bench.

1:00:40.080 --> 1:00:42.520
<v Speaker 3>I have an A grade on Keenan Allen, a B

1:00:42.720 --> 1:00:45.880
<v Speaker 3>grade on Mike Williams. The slight problem is Xavian Howard

1:00:45.920 --> 1:00:49.120
<v Speaker 3>did shadow him last year, probably will shadow him this year.

1:00:49.480 --> 1:00:51.720
<v Speaker 3>That's why only the B grade. He's gonna need to

1:00:51.720 --> 1:00:53.320
<v Speaker 3>get a big one to get a score. He did

1:00:53.400 --> 1:00:55.280
<v Speaker 3>last year one hundred and sixteen yards in a score.

1:00:55.360 --> 1:00:59.160
<v Speaker 3>So Gerald Everett C grade kind of crapped the bed

1:00:59.280 --> 1:01:01.880
<v Speaker 3>last year in the matchup. But new o c Kellen

1:01:01.920 --> 1:01:05.200
<v Speaker 3>Moore gave Dalton Schutz a Schultz a lot of volume.

1:01:05.480 --> 1:01:08.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm hoping that goes to Everett here c grade in

1:01:08.480 --> 1:01:11.200
<v Speaker 3>what I think is a shootout and Elsin Eckler's an

1:01:11.200 --> 1:01:11.720
<v Speaker 3>eight grade.

1:01:11.880 --> 1:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we don't have to spend a lot of time

1:01:13.320 --> 1:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Ontil Neckler obviously starting him every week for sure. I

1:01:17.680 --> 1:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>think the Dolphins might be sneaky bad this year.

1:01:20.840 --> 1:01:21.400
<v Speaker 3>We find out.

1:01:21.480 --> 1:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Interesting how if I'm wrong?

1:01:22.560 --> 1:01:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Interesting I'm wrong. We don't root for bad things on

1:01:24.280 --> 1:01:27.000
<v Speaker 3>the show. We like fun offenses. They have a fun offense.

1:01:27.040 --> 1:01:28.080
<v Speaker 3>You know it has a fun offense.

1:01:28.160 --> 1:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>The Eagles. We're gonna talk about the Eagles offense when

1:01:31.160 --> 1:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>we come back. It's a tricky matchup against an often

1:01:34.560 --> 1:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>good Bill Belichick defense. We'll fight out if Thorn Eistrom

1:01:37.880 --> 1:01:40.960
<v Speaker 1>is starting all Eagles or do you need to show

1:01:41.000 --> 1:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>caution on some find out when we return to Fantasy

1:01:43.920 --> 1:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly. Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchian

1:02:07.360 --> 1:02:09.960
<v Speaker 1>with you. You can follow me on Twitter at Paul Charchian.

1:02:10.840 --> 1:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Scott Fish is at Scott Fish twenty four. Thorn Eistrom

1:02:14.320 --> 1:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>is at thor Ku thor k U.

1:02:18.440 --> 1:02:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Don't worry, it only takes them about seven years to

1:02:20.680 --> 1:02:22.680
<v Speaker 3>start getting your Twitter exactly exactly.

1:02:22.720 --> 1:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be a while. You can assume that's going

1:02:24.720 --> 1:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>to be the case. Thorpe Eagles traveled to the Patriots.

1:02:27.880 --> 1:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Patriots struggled against RPOs run pass options last year, and

1:02:31.760 --> 1:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts is great at it. I still like Jalen

1:02:34.440 --> 1:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Hurts a lot and what could otherwise be a tougher matchup.

1:02:37.040 --> 1:02:38.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, charge your pick.

1:02:38.000 --> 1:02:40.000
<v Speaker 6>For most Fantasy points in the league this year, and

1:02:40.040 --> 1:02:41.640
<v Speaker 6>I think he's got a good shot to start out

1:02:41.720 --> 1:02:44.080
<v Speaker 6>number one after this matchup, clearly giving him an a

1:02:44.480 --> 1:02:47.040
<v Speaker 6>second most RPO dropbacks in the NFL. Like you're mentioning,

1:02:47.200 --> 1:02:50.400
<v Speaker 6>Patriots allowed second highest yards per attempt on our pos

1:02:50.440 --> 1:02:53.520
<v Speaker 6>and eleventh highest passer rating. The other thing the Patriots

1:02:53.600 --> 1:02:55.800
<v Speaker 6>love to do is you guys know Bill Belichick. Staple

1:02:55.880 --> 1:02:58.920
<v Speaker 6>is the man coverage. This is double stack week for Hurts,

1:02:58.960 --> 1:02:59.920
<v Speaker 6>Brown and Smith.

1:03:00.360 --> 1:03:00.600
<v Speaker 5>A J.

1:03:00.760 --> 1:03:03.760
<v Speaker 6>Brown eats man coverage for breakfast. He always has second

1:03:03.840 --> 1:03:07.760
<v Speaker 6>highest yards per route run versus man last year Brown

1:03:08.560 --> 1:03:11.120
<v Speaker 6>and he led all wide receivers with six touchdowns versus

1:03:11.120 --> 1:03:13.920
<v Speaker 6>man last year, and DeVonta Smith on the other side

1:03:13.920 --> 1:03:17.200
<v Speaker 6>twenty second in targets per route run versus man, fourteenth

1:03:17.200 --> 1:03:20.640
<v Speaker 6>and yards per route run overall there against Man was

1:03:20.800 --> 1:03:22.560
<v Speaker 6>and he was number two in the NFL with five

1:03:22.600 --> 1:03:24.919
<v Speaker 6>touchdowns against Van Covers show this is a very good

1:03:25.080 --> 1:03:28.080
<v Speaker 6>matchup for the Eagles passing game with Dallas Goddard, though,

1:03:28.160 --> 1:03:30.800
<v Speaker 6>I think for him, he's got a score to be startable.

1:03:30.800 --> 1:03:33.400
<v Speaker 6>I'll give him a seed just on that possibility in

1:03:33.440 --> 1:03:35.160
<v Speaker 6>a week where a whole bunch of tight ends their

1:03:35.200 --> 1:03:39.120
<v Speaker 6>status is questionable. Patriots gave up second most touchdowns to

1:03:39.160 --> 1:03:42.360
<v Speaker 6>opposing tight ends last year, but again they're notoriously tough

1:03:42.400 --> 1:03:45.320
<v Speaker 6>against tight ends as I mentioned before, eighth fewest receiving

1:03:45.400 --> 1:03:46.800
<v Speaker 6>yards to tight ends last year. So we're going to

1:03:46.840 --> 1:03:50.520
<v Speaker 6>give Goddard to see DeAndre Swift at those the three

1:03:50.520 --> 1:03:53.120
<v Speaker 6>other guys at the slash RB one on him. I

1:03:53.200 --> 1:03:57.080
<v Speaker 6>will give DeAndre Swift a see in this one. The

1:03:57.120 --> 1:04:00.360
<v Speaker 6>Philly ran zone concept runs forty four percent plays left year.

1:04:00.560 --> 1:04:03.840
<v Speaker 6>Patriots allowed third lowest yards per carry on zone runs.

1:04:03.840 --> 1:04:05.640
<v Speaker 6>I mentioned that they have a good run defense, but

1:04:05.720 --> 1:04:08.080
<v Speaker 6>I also mentioned before when I mentioned that Kenny Gainwell

1:04:08.120 --> 1:04:10.720
<v Speaker 6>was my taking chance on a running back. Patriots struggled

1:04:10.760 --> 1:04:13.760
<v Speaker 6>defending the running backs in the passing game, so Swift

1:04:13.760 --> 1:04:15.440
<v Speaker 6>also will factor into that potentially.

1:04:15.480 --> 1:04:16.439
<v Speaker 4>That's why I give him a CEE.

1:04:16.960 --> 1:04:19.160
<v Speaker 6>As far as the Patriots, we are benching all the

1:04:19.200 --> 1:04:22.640
<v Speaker 6>Patriots passing game except for Jujus Smith Schuster here, and

1:04:22.720 --> 1:04:25.280
<v Speaker 6>the reason for that is the Eagles boundary cornerbacks course

1:04:25.360 --> 1:04:28.520
<v Speaker 6>Darius Slay and James Bradberry return. I think they're gonna

1:04:28.520 --> 1:04:30.920
<v Speaker 6>take care of those outside guys. Mac Jones doesn't take

1:04:30.920 --> 1:04:33.360
<v Speaker 6>a lot of chances anyways. But as far as Jujus

1:04:33.360 --> 1:04:35.920
<v Speaker 6>Smith Schuster, he's gonna lead this team in targets, I

1:04:35.920 --> 1:04:38.439
<v Speaker 6>think pretty easily. You're going to funnel those targets into

1:04:38.480 --> 1:04:41.200
<v Speaker 6>the slot. So that's what makes him potentially startable here.

1:04:41.280 --> 1:04:43.880
<v Speaker 6>But I can only give Juju a ce KNOW for

1:04:44.000 --> 1:04:46.880
<v Speaker 6>my grade. And then as far as the Patriots running game,

1:04:46.920 --> 1:04:50.160
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna give Rimondre Stevenson a SE as well. Philly's

1:04:50.160 --> 1:04:53.200
<v Speaker 6>gonna remain zone heavy on defense under Seawan Decide taking

1:04:53.240 --> 1:04:56.240
<v Speaker 6>over for Jonathan Gannon, but same sort of conceptually here.

1:04:56.480 --> 1:04:58.040
<v Speaker 4>Stevenson had the seventh.

1:04:57.760 --> 1:05:00.680
<v Speaker 6>Most gap runs last year in the NFL, six highest

1:05:00.720 --> 1:05:03.720
<v Speaker 6>yards per carry on gap runs. He also this was

1:05:03.760 --> 1:05:07.200
<v Speaker 6>an interesting stat. Romandre Stevenson led the Patriots passing game

1:05:07.240 --> 1:05:10.320
<v Speaker 6>in target share again coverage last year. Yeah, nineteen point

1:05:10.360 --> 1:05:12.360
<v Speaker 6>five percent target share as a receiver.

1:05:12.720 --> 1:05:15.080
<v Speaker 4>So I do think he's gonna get the volume. It's

1:05:15.240 --> 1:05:15.960
<v Speaker 4>just how much.

1:05:15.840 --> 1:05:17.400
<v Speaker 6>Are they going to score and be in a position

1:05:17.440 --> 1:05:18.920
<v Speaker 6>to score? So we'll give Rimandre ACiE.

1:05:19.040 --> 1:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's the worry, right, and then if they if

1:05:21.360 --> 1:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>there is a rushing touchdown to be had, is this

1:05:24.080 --> 1:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>where Zeke factors in? Another frustrating point. Potentially it could be.

1:05:28.600 --> 1:05:30.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but Romondrie very good of course at grinding out

1:05:30.640 --> 1:05:32.919
<v Speaker 6>the short step. But Zeke, like you mentioned last year,

1:05:32.920 --> 1:05:34.880
<v Speaker 6>he was siphoning off a lot of those touchdowns around

1:05:34.880 --> 1:05:35.320
<v Speaker 6>the goal line.

1:05:35.440 --> 1:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, forty five career touchdowns just from inside the five

1:05:38.320 --> 1:05:42.560
<v Speaker 1>yard line for Ezekiel Elliott. Packers traveled to the Bears. Now,

1:05:42.720 --> 1:05:45.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of moving parts in this one. Christian Watson's

1:05:45.120 --> 1:05:48.160
<v Speaker 1>been ruled out. Romeo Dobbs has got the hamstring of

1:05:48.160 --> 1:05:51.760
<v Speaker 1>his own, and he was having a nice preseason before

1:05:51.800 --> 1:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>the hamstring injury, and if he were at full strength,

1:05:53.600 --> 1:05:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I'd be talking him up big time for this one.

1:05:55.680 --> 1:06:00.160
<v Speaker 1>But hamstring injuries and wide receivers bad combo. And I'm

1:06:00.160 --> 1:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>nervous here now. If they take Dobbs completely off the

1:06:03.680 --> 1:06:07.520
<v Speaker 1>injury report before Sunday's game, I would say, fine, let's

1:06:07.520 --> 1:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>put him into your starting lineup. But otherwise I don't

1:06:10.160 --> 1:06:12.600
<v Speaker 1>trust hamstrings on wide receivers. I can't do it, and

1:06:12.640 --> 1:06:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I'd have to give him a bench grade for Romeo Dobbs.

1:06:16.280 --> 1:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Jayden Reid was might take a chance on me wide receiver.

1:06:18.920 --> 1:06:19.840
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna start him.

1:06:19.760 --> 1:06:20.240
<v Speaker 3>In this game.

1:06:20.440 --> 1:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>And that brings us to Jordan Love. General manager Ryan

1:06:23.600 --> 1:06:26.520
<v Speaker 1>pulls through a lot of draft picks at the Chicago defense,

1:06:26.560 --> 1:06:28.800
<v Speaker 1>but not a lot in the secondary. And it's still

1:06:28.840 --> 1:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>beatable Chicago dead last and pass rush last year by

1:06:33.240 --> 1:06:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Pro Football Focus. So Love's gonna have time in the pocket.

1:06:36.040 --> 1:06:38.360
<v Speaker 1>And here's the other thing. Bears all had the most

1:06:38.440 --> 1:06:41.920
<v Speaker 1>quarterback rushing attempts for the most quarterback rushing touchdowns. And

1:06:42.000 --> 1:06:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Love is sneaky. He's got some sneaky wheels. I think

1:06:44.840 --> 1:06:47.600
<v Speaker 1>people don't jet nationally. I don't think people really realize

1:06:47.960 --> 1:06:50.600
<v Speaker 1>that Love is as good a running threat as he is.

1:06:51.000 --> 1:06:53.280
<v Speaker 1>It'll be a factor in this game. And I like

1:06:53.360 --> 1:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>him here. So if he had all his receiving weapons,

1:06:56.240 --> 1:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I'd give Jordan Love a bee, but with a short

1:06:58.680 --> 1:07:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Watson potentially also Romeo Dobbs. I can only give Jordan

1:07:02.080 --> 1:07:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Love to see in this game, but I do think

1:07:03.840 --> 1:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>he is startable. All right, Let's go to the running back.

1:07:06.080 --> 1:07:09.520
<v Speaker 1>So with all of these problems with the receivers and

1:07:09.600 --> 1:07:11.720
<v Speaker 1>all the injuries, I gotta believe we're gonna see a

1:07:11.760 --> 1:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of Aaron Jones. And by the way, the first

1:07:13.280 --> 1:07:15.960
<v Speaker 1>start for Jordan Love at really the first real start

1:07:15.960 --> 1:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>for Jordan Love.

1:07:16.880 --> 1:07:17.240
<v Speaker 3>I got it.

1:07:17.240 --> 1:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna see a lot of running in this game.

1:07:18.880 --> 1:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>And why not. Aaron Jones murdered the Bears in Week

1:07:21.840 --> 1:07:23.840
<v Speaker 1>two of last year, but got bottled up in the

1:07:23.840 --> 1:07:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Week thirteen matchup. I see, as I mentioned, a lot

1:07:27.280 --> 1:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>of extra carries and an excellent receiver by the way,

1:07:29.200 --> 1:07:31.800
<v Speaker 1>for Aaron Jones and the Bears good in that department

1:07:31.880 --> 1:07:34.520
<v Speaker 1>last year. I think you can still count on a

1:07:34.560 --> 1:07:37.320
<v Speaker 1>good like four ish receptions out of Aaron Jones, maybe

1:07:37.360 --> 1:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>forty receiving yards. AJ Dill be great on Aaron Jones,

1:07:40.600 --> 1:07:42.760
<v Speaker 1>B Grant and AJ Dillon to crushed the Bears in

1:07:42.760 --> 1:07:45.919
<v Speaker 1>the week's thirteen matchup one hundred and nineteen total yards

1:07:45.960 --> 1:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>and a touchdown, and again, like Jones, some extra carries coming.

1:07:50.040 --> 1:07:52.280
<v Speaker 1>He got almost all the goal line work last year,

1:07:52.360 --> 1:07:55.280
<v Speaker 1>and with the Bears allowing the second most rushing touchdowns

1:07:55.360 --> 1:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>last year, I gotta like Dylan's chances of getting a

1:07:58.000 --> 1:08:01.560
<v Speaker 1>touchdown in this game, So B Grade and AJ Dillon

1:08:01.600 --> 1:08:03.200
<v Speaker 1>as well. I think this is one of the best

1:08:03.320 --> 1:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>matchups for AJ Dillon all season. Let's go to the

1:08:07.120 --> 1:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Chicago side. I'm gonna start with Khalil Herbert expected to

1:08:11.800 --> 1:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>be the starter here, but we're gonna see a potentially

1:08:14.520 --> 1:08:18.759
<v Speaker 1>frustrating amount of Danta Foreman and Thors guys Roshawn Johnson

1:08:18.800 --> 1:08:20.760
<v Speaker 1>in the mix as well, particularly at the goal line,

1:08:21.120 --> 1:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>which I don't see Herbert scoring in many games, and

1:08:24.120 --> 1:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Johnson is really built for goal line use. Foreman is

1:08:26.960 --> 1:08:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to a lesser extent. Last year, Green Bay was bottom

1:08:29.920 --> 1:08:33.599
<v Speaker 1>ten and rushing attempts, rushing yards, and rushing touchdowns allowed

1:08:33.600 --> 1:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>to running backs, while only addressing the issue with rookies

1:08:36.360 --> 1:08:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Lucas van Ness and Carl Brooks. So I think Herbert

1:08:40.760 --> 1:08:45.080
<v Speaker 1>likely finishes the nondescript but flex worthy box score, which

1:08:45.120 --> 1:08:48.599
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have to get used to, like sixty total yards,

1:08:48.600 --> 1:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>and probably doesn't score C grade.

1:08:50.840 --> 1:08:53.160
<v Speaker 3>Or sixty TOI yards in a score like David Montgomery

1:08:53.240 --> 1:08:53.679
<v Speaker 3>last night.

1:08:53.800 --> 1:08:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think. I don't think Herbert's just gonna get

1:08:55.760 --> 1:08:57.599
<v Speaker 1>used at the stripe. You'd have to score from distance,

1:08:57.640 --> 1:08:59.559
<v Speaker 1>and I don't trust him to do it. That's just

1:08:59.600 --> 1:09:02.920
<v Speaker 1>my opinion. Let's go to the receivers. The receiver. Only

1:09:03.000 --> 1:09:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Chicago receiver you can really care about s DJ Moore,

1:09:05.520 --> 1:09:09.120
<v Speaker 1>but he's got a tangle with excellent quarterback Jaiir Alexander. Now,

1:09:09.160 --> 1:09:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Alexander normally only plays one side of the field, but

1:09:13.040 --> 1:09:18.000
<v Speaker 1>for special opponents, they will let JayR Alexander shadow, and

1:09:18.120 --> 1:09:21.439
<v Speaker 1>Chicago fits the bill perfectly because outside of DJ Moore,

1:09:21.479 --> 1:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>there's nobody else that's worthy of JayR Alexander. So I

1:09:24.640 --> 1:09:26.839
<v Speaker 1>think he's gonna shadow here, and he is a problem.

1:09:27.040 --> 1:09:30.320
<v Speaker 1>He ranked his coverage corner number five by Pro Football Focus.

1:09:30.439 --> 1:09:33.320
<v Speaker 1>He'll howed just thirty three yards and zero point one

1:09:33.400 --> 1:09:36.320
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns per game in his coverage. So I can't give

1:09:36.400 --> 1:09:39.599
<v Speaker 1>DJ Moore more than a B grade in this game,

1:09:40.520 --> 1:09:43.200
<v Speaker 1>cole Kmet is a needed starter for many of you.

1:09:43.720 --> 1:09:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay allowed the second fewest receptions and yards to

1:09:46.720 --> 1:09:51.400
<v Speaker 1>tight ends last year, and when Comet duds, he duds hard.

1:09:51.880 --> 1:09:55.960
<v Speaker 1>His non touchdown games last year netted an average of

1:09:56.040 --> 1:09:58.920
<v Speaker 1>two catches for thirty yards. That's not good from your

1:09:58.960 --> 1:10:02.120
<v Speaker 1>tight end is never scored against Green Bay, and last

1:10:02.160 --> 1:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>year Comet had a zero catch game and a seventy

1:10:05.040 --> 1:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>two yard catch game against Green Bay. I've got a

1:10:07.640 --> 1:10:10.880
<v Speaker 1>C grade on cole Kmet, so that brings us to

1:10:11.320 --> 1:10:16.120
<v Speaker 1>justin fields. He played arguably the best game of his

1:10:16.240 --> 1:10:18.960
<v Speaker 1>career against the Packers last year. In Week thirteen. He

1:10:19.000 --> 1:10:22.200
<v Speaker 1>completed eighty percent of his passes, he ran for seventy

1:10:22.280 --> 1:10:25.599
<v Speaker 1>one yards and a touchdown. The green Bay secondary unchanged

1:10:25.600 --> 1:10:27.960
<v Speaker 1>from last year, an above average group, and I mentioned

1:10:28.000 --> 1:10:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not that keen on DJ Moore here, but I

1:10:30.320 --> 1:10:33.000
<v Speaker 1>still got an A grade on totality in justin fields.

1:10:33.000 --> 1:10:35.439
<v Speaker 1>Who's likely to run for over fifty yards probably finds

1:10:35.439 --> 1:10:36.479
<v Speaker 1>his way to one passing touch.

1:10:36.560 --> 1:10:39.800
<v Speaker 3>You don't want to guarantee sixty No.

1:10:38.960 --> 1:10:40.919
<v Speaker 1>No, that's your dad, I don't want it. That's your trademark.

1:10:41.160 --> 1:10:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to take that from you. We're not gonna

1:10:43.439 --> 1:10:45.679
<v Speaker 1>We're not going to mess with Chase Claypool and Darnell

1:10:45.760 --> 1:10:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Mooney in this matchup. All right, Scott, final matchup of

1:10:49.160 --> 1:10:52.080
<v Speaker 1>this segment, do it? Rams taking on the Seahawks. Rams

1:10:52.120 --> 1:10:55.320
<v Speaker 1>absolutely hamstrung Without Cooper cup here, that offense designed to

1:10:55.360 --> 1:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>go through him, wad.

1:10:57.200 --> 1:11:01.360
<v Speaker 3>A wide receiver. Matthew Stafford reportedly can't name not a

1:11:01.360 --> 1:11:05.280
<v Speaker 3>good sign. So it's like, yeah, so I have the

1:11:05.439 --> 1:11:07.920
<v Speaker 3>entire passing game on the bench except for Tyler Higbee

1:11:08.240 --> 1:11:11.800
<v Speaker 3>from Week eight on last year, So ten games, only

1:11:11.840 --> 1:11:14.679
<v Speaker 3>two quarterbacks top two hundred and forty passing yards against

1:11:14.720 --> 1:11:16.680
<v Speaker 3>the Seahawks, which makes sense when you see that they

1:11:16.680 --> 1:11:20.200
<v Speaker 3>have like Jamal Adre Adams and Quandre Diggs and Tyrek Woollen,

1:11:20.280 --> 1:11:22.880
<v Speaker 3>and they added Bobby Wagner. They stole them from this

1:11:23.080 --> 1:11:26.519
<v Speaker 3>The Rams they're playing this week, not stole, I shouldn't

1:11:26.560 --> 1:11:29.599
<v Speaker 3>say that, but and they were dealing with a lot

1:11:29.600 --> 1:11:33.040
<v Speaker 3>of injuries. So the only thing that Rams passing offense

1:11:33.120 --> 1:11:36.320
<v Speaker 3>really has going for it is gamescript because they'll probably be behind.

1:11:36.520 --> 1:11:38.439
<v Speaker 3>But I don't trust all the We don't know what

1:11:38.479 --> 1:11:41.840
<v Speaker 3>the splits will be between targets between the pass catchers.

1:11:41.880 --> 1:11:44.240
<v Speaker 3>The only one I do trust is Tyler Higbye, who

1:11:44.320 --> 1:11:48.799
<v Speaker 3>may end up being Stafford's security blanket. Seattle was the worst,

1:11:48.840 --> 1:11:52.160
<v Speaker 3>one of the worst teams against fantasy tight ends last year.

1:11:52.240 --> 1:11:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Ten tight ends topped eighty yards and or scored against them.

1:11:56.080 --> 1:12:00.479
<v Speaker 3>That's a lot of volume, and as mentioned, Stafford his name,

1:12:00.560 --> 1:12:05.000
<v Speaker 3>so he'll get some C grade. Tyler Higbee B grade

1:12:05.040 --> 1:12:08.120
<v Speaker 3>on cam Acres. Acres ended last year with three straight

1:12:08.160 --> 1:12:10.559
<v Speaker 3>games of one hundred and twenty five plus total yards

1:12:10.760 --> 1:12:14.799
<v Speaker 3>and really five straight Fantasy startuple games. The Seahawks maybe improved,

1:12:14.800 --> 1:12:17.320
<v Speaker 3>they got Bobby Wagner obviously, as I just mentioned, but

1:12:17.400 --> 1:12:19.920
<v Speaker 3>it was the fourth worst against running backs last year.

1:12:21.840 --> 1:12:23.880
<v Speaker 3>Even though the game script won't be great for Acres

1:12:24.240 --> 1:12:28.639
<v Speaker 3>because they'll be passing a lot, I don't think that

1:12:28.640 --> 1:12:31.960
<v Speaker 3>that affects Kyrien Williams, who's supposedly the pass catching back.

1:12:31.960 --> 1:12:34.760
<v Speaker 3>If you look at the games last year, the touchcounts

1:12:34.800 --> 1:12:37.599
<v Speaker 3>Acres to Williams were twenty four to three, twenty to seven,

1:12:37.840 --> 1:12:41.240
<v Speaker 3>fifteen to three. Like, something's really going to have to

1:12:41.320 --> 1:12:43.920
<v Speaker 3>change for you to even consider Karen Williams, and we

1:12:43.960 --> 1:12:45.720
<v Speaker 3>need to start see it first. So he's on the

1:12:45.760 --> 1:12:48.840
<v Speaker 3>bench over on the other side, Gino Smith, I have

1:12:48.920 --> 1:12:52.080
<v Speaker 3>an A grade on much like I mentioned with the

1:12:52.200 --> 1:12:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Raiders and the Jaguars, much like I mentioned with the

1:12:59.320 --> 1:13:03.080
<v Speaker 3>Raider second talking about Russell Wilson and the Jaguars matchup

1:13:03.080 --> 1:13:06.879
<v Speaker 3>against the Colts. The Rams secondary is almost consistently, almost

1:13:07.160 --> 1:13:09.720
<v Speaker 3>entirely set up of first and second year players. And

1:13:09.760 --> 1:13:12.240
<v Speaker 3>then they added Duke Shelley, so now they at least

1:13:12.240 --> 1:13:14.880
<v Speaker 3>have one vet former Viking, Duke Shelley, who was actually

1:13:14.880 --> 1:13:18.600
<v Speaker 3>pretty good last year. All right, yeah, he was, all right, Yeah,

1:13:18.640 --> 1:13:22.080
<v Speaker 3>the Rams secondary, But PFF grades the RAMS secondary as

1:13:22.120 --> 1:13:25.760
<v Speaker 3>the worst secondary in football entering the season. Gino was

1:13:25.840 --> 1:13:29.080
<v Speaker 3>already great last year. He added JSN Jackson Smith In

1:13:29.200 --> 1:13:31.760
<v Speaker 3>Jigba who is practicing in full and should go and

1:13:31.800 --> 1:13:35.000
<v Speaker 3>pass catching option, Zach Charboney, who was my take a

1:13:35.120 --> 1:13:38.280
<v Speaker 3>chance on me player for the wide receivers. I got

1:13:38.320 --> 1:13:41.559
<v Speaker 3>a B grade on both Lockett and Metcalf. I could

1:13:41.600 --> 1:13:44.479
<v Speaker 3>be leaned into an A, but they might they might

1:13:44.560 --> 1:13:48.040
<v Speaker 3>monopolize each other in JSN might get just enough that

1:13:48.280 --> 1:13:50.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna keep him down to a bee. It's a

1:13:50.360 --> 1:13:54.439
<v Speaker 3>good matchup. Rams were seventh worst, seventh allowed the seventh

1:13:54.520 --> 1:13:57.240
<v Speaker 3>most yards to wide receivers last year and lost Jalen Ramsey,

1:13:58.439 --> 1:14:01.720
<v Speaker 3>JSN Jackson Smith. And but I'm given a C grade too.

1:14:02.120 --> 1:14:04.360
<v Speaker 3>He looked really good in the preseason and he's gonna

1:14:04.360 --> 1:14:07.480
<v Speaker 3>see a lot of single coverage coming out of this lot.

1:14:08.120 --> 1:14:12.720
<v Speaker 3>Ken Walker. Ken Walker B grade rams were twelfth the

1:14:12.720 --> 1:14:16.000
<v Speaker 3>worst against running backs last year, lost Bobby Wagner. He

1:14:16.120 --> 1:14:18.400
<v Speaker 3>was added to the injury port with that groin injury

1:14:18.760 --> 1:14:21.320
<v Speaker 3>came off it. If he goes, I think he's going

1:14:21.400 --> 1:14:23.800
<v Speaker 3>to get enough volume in a game script where they

1:14:23.840 --> 1:14:26.519
<v Speaker 3>can run a lot late that he will get a

1:14:26.560 --> 1:14:29.640
<v Speaker 3>B grade If he doesn't go. Wheels up for Zach Shu,

1:14:30.000 --> 1:14:32.759
<v Speaker 3>A grade for Zak Shacke, Yeah, I agree, a grade

1:14:32.760 --> 1:14:35.240
<v Speaker 3>for Sharbone if Walker doesn't go, not go. Yeah.

1:14:35.320 --> 1:14:39.840
<v Speaker 1>When we come back, it's the season premiere of premature to.

1:14:42.760 --> 1:14:45.520
<v Speaker 3>Majur Speculo speculation.

1:14:45.880 --> 1:14:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Yes, we'll give you players to pick up off the

1:14:47.720 --> 1:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>waiver wire now that everybody else will be trying to

1:14:49.720 --> 1:14:52.360
<v Speaker 1>pick up next week. Find out who they are when

1:14:52.400 --> 1:15:15.760
<v Speaker 1>we come back. Final segment Fantasy Football Weekly for week

1:15:15.840 --> 1:15:23.000
<v Speaker 1>number one. We always start this segment with premature speculation.

1:15:24.360 --> 1:15:26.080
<v Speaker 1>This is where we give you a player to pick

1:15:26.160 --> 1:15:28.120
<v Speaker 1>up this week that reels me trying to pick up

1:15:28.240 --> 1:15:30.160
<v Speaker 1>next week. But you win the time Machine and you

1:15:30.200 --> 1:15:30.880
<v Speaker 1>already got him.

1:15:31.080 --> 1:15:32.439
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I love that time Machine.

1:15:32.479 --> 1:15:34.479
<v Speaker 1>I love the time Machine sound. I think that's critical.

1:15:34.560 --> 1:15:36.639
<v Speaker 3>I like the Quantum Leap one a little bit warm.

1:15:36.760 --> 1:15:40.160
<v Speaker 1>All right, Scott, what is your who is your premature

1:15:40.200 --> 1:15:41.160
<v Speaker 1>speculation player?

1:15:41.280 --> 1:15:46.799
<v Speaker 3>I am going with Texas High School all time receiving leader, Marvin.

1:15:46.880 --> 1:15:51.479
<v Speaker 3>Do not call me Denzel charts in, Scott Mims. He

1:15:51.640 --> 1:15:54.880
<v Speaker 3>is thirty seven percent rostered on Yahoo and fifteen percent

1:15:54.960 --> 1:15:59.439
<v Speaker 3>rostered on ESPN, which by my math is sixty three

1:15:59.479 --> 1:16:02.960
<v Speaker 3>percent too low on Yahoo and eighty five percent too

1:16:03.000 --> 1:16:06.479
<v Speaker 3>low on ESPN. He's a great deep ball threat, and

1:16:06.520 --> 1:16:09.200
<v Speaker 3>he's got the single coverage all year for the Broncos.

1:16:09.400 --> 1:16:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Get him before he blows up this week with Jerry Judy,

1:16:12.600 --> 1:16:14.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, potentially.

1:16:13.600 --> 1:16:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Not going Yeah, yeah, Marvin Mims. All right, Thor, who

1:16:17.040 --> 1:16:18.759
<v Speaker 1>is your premature speculation player?

1:16:18.920 --> 1:16:21.479
<v Speaker 6>I'm going with Rams wide receiver Poka Nkua. Have been

1:16:21.479 --> 1:16:23.160
<v Speaker 6>banging the drum for him all summer. We're going to

1:16:23.240 --> 1:16:25.479
<v Speaker 6>keep banging it. Good size, six foot two to two

1:16:25.479 --> 1:16:28.720
<v Speaker 6>pH five and super versatile Pooka Nkua. He averaged nine

1:16:28.720 --> 1:16:31.559
<v Speaker 6>point two yards per carry on thirty nine career carries.

1:16:31.800 --> 1:16:33.640
<v Speaker 6>One of five of those carries ended up in the

1:16:33.760 --> 1:16:35.800
<v Speaker 6>end zone. Jaron Hall, I'm not sure if he gets

1:16:35.880 --> 1:16:38.400
<v Speaker 6>drafted if he didn't play with Puka at Byu. In

1:16:38.439 --> 1:16:40.639
<v Speaker 6>the games where Pooka played a full game last season,

1:16:40.720 --> 1:16:43.559
<v Speaker 6>Jaron Hall four three hundred yard games out of seven.

1:16:43.800 --> 1:16:45.599
<v Speaker 6>In the five where Puka didn't play a full game

1:16:45.800 --> 1:16:47.800
<v Speaker 6>or didn't play at all, Jaren Hall only had one

1:16:47.840 --> 1:16:49.880
<v Speaker 6>three hundred yard game in those ones.

1:16:49.960 --> 1:16:52.680
<v Speaker 3>So he raises the level at the quarterback, raises.

1:16:52.400 --> 1:16:54.639
<v Speaker 6>The bar and with Cooper Cup out here for the Rams,

1:16:54.680 --> 1:16:56.920
<v Speaker 6>I think Puka's gonna get starter snaps. We know that

1:16:57.040 --> 1:17:00.280
<v Speaker 6>Van Jefferson to Touawl, Bench Kronic, et cetera are not

1:17:00.439 --> 1:17:02.519
<v Speaker 6>very good. Puoka's only owned a two percent of Yahoo

1:17:02.560 --> 1:17:03.160
<v Speaker 6>leagues right now.

1:17:03.320 --> 1:17:04.080
<v Speaker 4>That needs to change.

1:17:04.120 --> 1:17:06.600
<v Speaker 3>And you call him discount debo, right, disc deeb. So

1:17:06.760 --> 1:17:09.719
<v Speaker 3>that's that's your comp's right, that's your comp for listeners.

1:17:09.760 --> 1:17:10.120
<v Speaker 3>I like it.

1:17:10.320 --> 1:17:13.920
<v Speaker 1>H Pukah Nikua, I got a Samoan heritage. I'm going

1:17:13.920 --> 1:17:16.400
<v Speaker 1>with gotta be need So I don't know what kind

1:17:16.400 --> 1:17:18.479
<v Speaker 1>of sounder. We can get for him a coconut sounder.

1:17:18.960 --> 1:17:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Cocain makes sound they when they fall in Gilligan's head.

1:17:21.960 --> 1:17:24.000
<v Speaker 6>We could do a Kuna matata and put in Pooka's

1:17:24.040 --> 1:17:26.160
<v Speaker 6>name for the pua oh.

1:17:26.200 --> 1:17:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I like it all right, Just whip that a'll figures Okay, Well, yeah,

1:17:29.439 --> 1:17:32.639
<v Speaker 1>let's do that. Speaking of two percent owned Rashid Shaheed

1:17:32.880 --> 1:17:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Saints receiver. Now you already talked about him for you,

1:17:36.320 --> 1:17:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and you outlined a lot of the reasons you like

1:17:38.080 --> 1:17:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Rashid Shaheed this week against Tennessee. I do too, and

1:17:40.760 --> 1:17:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that's part of the reason you need to get him

1:17:42.000 --> 1:17:44.960
<v Speaker 1>before the Tennessee games. But just a recap of last

1:17:45.000 --> 1:17:48.600
<v Speaker 1>year undrafted from Weaver State debuts mid season, has a

1:17:48.600 --> 1:17:51.759
<v Speaker 1>bunch of splash plays. Looks totally a fit for the NFL.

1:17:51.920 --> 1:17:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Deep ball guy caught eighty two percent of his passes

1:17:55.439 --> 1:17:58.240
<v Speaker 1>really healthy, a dot of eleven and a half yards,

1:17:58.520 --> 1:18:00.280
<v Speaker 1>and that was with Andy Dalton. I think he can

1:18:00.320 --> 1:18:02.759
<v Speaker 1>do better with mister tar Carr.

1:18:02.960 --> 1:18:05.960
<v Speaker 3>So Also, he passes the eyeball test, very important.

1:18:06.000 --> 1:18:08.000
<v Speaker 4>We love the eyeball test around here. Yeah.

1:18:08.040 --> 1:18:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, Rashid Shaheed, Let's go get him. I've got a

1:18:11.280 --> 1:18:13.720
<v Speaker 1>bunch of my leaks as well. All right, let's go

1:18:13.800 --> 1:18:17.839
<v Speaker 1>to our Sunday night game. It's Cowboys taking on the Giants.

1:18:18.320 --> 1:18:21.680
<v Speaker 1>This is a Dallas passing game that goes head to

1:18:21.720 --> 1:18:25.479
<v Speaker 1>head with Wink Martindale's blitz packages. What do you like here?

1:18:25.560 --> 1:18:27.880
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, Win Burndale, who sent more blitzer than any other

1:18:27.920 --> 1:18:30.400
<v Speaker 6>defensive coordinator in the NFL last year, and he also

1:18:30.520 --> 1:18:31.880
<v Speaker 6>loves man coverage.

1:18:31.960 --> 1:18:33.800
<v Speaker 4>So that's that brings us to Cede Lamb.

1:18:33.920 --> 1:18:36.559
<v Speaker 6>When Dak Prescott is under pressure, when he gets blitzed,

1:18:36.600 --> 1:18:39.040
<v Speaker 6>he looks the CD immediately throws it there all the time.

1:18:39.160 --> 1:18:42.479
<v Speaker 6>Ceedee Lamb last year forty two percent target share on blitzes.

1:18:42.680 --> 1:18:45.400
<v Speaker 6>That's ridiculous. It just shows you that's the trigger for Prescott,

1:18:45.400 --> 1:18:47.439
<v Speaker 6>looks over there, chucks it up to him. Lamb was

1:18:47.479 --> 1:18:50.200
<v Speaker 6>also top ten amongst all wide receivers with at least

1:18:50.240 --> 1:18:53.280
<v Speaker 6>fifty routes run last year and basically every stat that

1:18:53.320 --> 1:18:56.400
<v Speaker 6>I could find against both the blitz and man coverage. Yeah,

1:18:56.400 --> 1:18:58.479
<v Speaker 6>gotta give Ceedee Lamb an a. He is in play

1:18:58.520 --> 1:19:01.439
<v Speaker 6>to be one of the highest scoring receivers this week.

1:19:01.640 --> 1:19:05.000
<v Speaker 6>Dak Prescott. I gave him a b Okay matchup. For

1:19:05.080 --> 1:19:07.240
<v Speaker 6>him again, he gonna look at CD, but only a

1:19:07.280 --> 1:19:09.559
<v Speaker 6>B for him. I also gave a beat to Brandon

1:19:09.560 --> 1:19:13.400
<v Speaker 6>Cooks because if Adri Jackson shadows CD LAMB, that means

1:19:13.400 --> 1:19:15.120
<v Speaker 6>Cooks is gonna get Deanna Banks.

1:19:15.520 --> 1:19:16.280
<v Speaker 4>Banks does not.

1:19:16.320 --> 1:19:19.000
<v Speaker 6>Have great ball skills yet, He's still a work in progress,

1:19:19.040 --> 1:19:20.000
<v Speaker 6>fabulous athlete.

1:19:20.120 --> 1:19:21.000
<v Speaker 4>But we always like to.

1:19:20.960 --> 1:19:24.840
<v Speaker 6>Target corner rookie cornerbacks, both DFS and Fantasy early on

1:19:24.880 --> 1:19:26.960
<v Speaker 6>in their rookie season, So I like Cooks for that reason.

1:19:27.240 --> 1:19:30.120
<v Speaker 6>All the other passca catching options for Dallas I'm gonna

1:19:30.160 --> 1:19:32.120
<v Speaker 6>keep on the bench this week. I do love the

1:19:32.200 --> 1:19:34.360
<v Speaker 6>matchup for Tony Pollard, though I give him an A.

1:19:34.760 --> 1:19:37.280
<v Speaker 6>I think he's gonna hit some dingers this week. Giants

1:19:37.360 --> 1:19:40.479
<v Speaker 6>run defense last year allowed the third highest explosive run

1:19:40.560 --> 1:19:43.679
<v Speaker 6>rate in the NFL. The Giants also allowed the highest

1:19:43.760 --> 1:19:47.360
<v Speaker 6>yards per carry on gap runs and the second highest

1:19:47.439 --> 1:19:50.920
<v Speaker 6>on zone runs. Very good matchup for Tony Pollard going

1:19:50.920 --> 1:19:53.280
<v Speaker 6>to the Giants. This is one that depends a lot

1:19:53.280 --> 1:19:55.800
<v Speaker 6>on if Darren Waller plays. If he does not, we're

1:19:55.800 --> 1:19:57.639
<v Speaker 6>gonna be ben or if he does, we're gonna bench

1:19:57.680 --> 1:20:00.960
<v Speaker 6>all the Giant wide receivers. But I mean, if he

1:20:01.040 --> 1:20:03.160
<v Speaker 6>does play. We're gonna give Darren Waller an a grade

1:20:03.200 --> 1:20:03.639
<v Speaker 6>in this game.

1:20:03.680 --> 1:20:05.960
<v Speaker 3>I have an idea. So I'm in the league with

1:20:06.040 --> 1:20:06.519
<v Speaker 3>Darren Waller.

1:20:06.960 --> 1:20:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Of course, of course, of course you got up.

1:20:09.960 --> 1:20:13.879
<v Speaker 3>I drafted Darren Waller. I was debating, should I trade

1:20:14.280 --> 1:20:15.400
<v Speaker 3>Darren Waller to himself?

1:20:15.400 --> 1:20:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Who Darren Waller?

1:20:16.080 --> 1:20:18.439
<v Speaker 3>Should I play Darren Waller against Darren Waller?

1:20:19.400 --> 1:20:21.679
<v Speaker 1>What do you think you play Darren Waller this week?

1:20:22.120 --> 1:20:22.519
<v Speaker 3>I do not.

1:20:22.760 --> 1:20:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So then you need to trade Darren Waller to

1:20:25.400 --> 1:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Darren Waller so we know if Darren Waller puts Darren

1:20:28.080 --> 1:20:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Waller into his lineup, that means he's healthy.

1:20:31.120 --> 1:20:31.839
<v Speaker 3>This is brilliant.

1:20:31.880 --> 1:20:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Now you're gonna have to offer him just sweetheart deal.

1:20:34.000 --> 1:20:36.439
<v Speaker 1>The master Darren Waller will trade for Darren Waller.

1:20:36.600 --> 1:20:38.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, you gotta imagine he likes himself for this year,

1:20:39.200 --> 1:20:41.639
<v Speaker 3>I would hope. So, yeah, then we'll know every single

1:20:41.680 --> 1:20:45.040
<v Speaker 3>week what his status is. I love this. Let's do it. Yeah, okay,

1:20:45.120 --> 1:20:45.800
<v Speaker 3>every figured it out.

1:20:45.840 --> 1:20:48.439
<v Speaker 1>We Darren Waller report. We'll go to your league and

1:20:48.479 --> 1:20:51.400
<v Speaker 1>tell us whether or not Darren Waller is star perfect,

1:20:51.400 --> 1:20:52.160
<v Speaker 1>brilliant perfect.

1:20:52.360 --> 1:20:54.200
<v Speaker 6>And I wish we knew that intel because if we

1:20:54.280 --> 1:20:56.920
<v Speaker 6>did I think there's a sneaky good matchup for Darren Waller.

1:20:57.320 --> 1:20:58.880
<v Speaker 4>He's gonna get the volume all season.

1:20:58.920 --> 1:21:01.519
<v Speaker 6>The Giants are just gonna pound with targets, and especially

1:21:01.560 --> 1:21:03.160
<v Speaker 6>in this game, when you're going up against a team

1:21:03.160 --> 1:21:05.519
<v Speaker 6>that has Trayvon Diggs on one side Stefan Gilmour on

1:21:05.520 --> 1:21:07.880
<v Speaker 6>the other side, You're going to funnel even more volume

1:21:07.880 --> 1:21:08.479
<v Speaker 6>into this slot.

1:21:08.600 --> 1:21:12.000
<v Speaker 4>So this one's a Darren Waller parade here.

1:21:12.080 --> 1:21:14.479
<v Speaker 6>Second most slot tight ends allowed last year for the

1:21:14.560 --> 1:21:17.160
<v Speaker 6>Dallas Cowboys to opposing slots. I think Waller has a

1:21:17.160 --> 1:21:19.559
<v Speaker 6>big game if he plays, so I give him an

1:21:19.560 --> 1:21:22.000
<v Speaker 6>A if he plays, But of course we might need

1:21:22.000 --> 1:21:23.680
<v Speaker 6>Scott Fish to get us some intel on that.

1:21:24.240 --> 1:21:26.360
<v Speaker 4>Daniel Jones, I give him a C in this one.

1:21:26.560 --> 1:21:28.479
<v Speaker 6>I think a lot of his fantasy value is going

1:21:28.479 --> 1:21:30.960
<v Speaker 6>to have to come from running, but I will give

1:21:31.040 --> 1:21:33.799
<v Speaker 6>one sliver of hope as far as him in the pocket,

1:21:34.000 --> 1:21:36.559
<v Speaker 6>Dallas allowed the ninth most play action touchdowns last year

1:21:36.560 --> 1:21:40.519
<v Speaker 6>to opposing quarterbacks, eleventh highest passer rating on play actions.

1:21:40.560 --> 1:21:43.000
<v Speaker 6>Dimes had the third most play action drop backs in

1:21:43.040 --> 1:21:45.479
<v Speaker 6>the NFL last year. As far as the run game,

1:21:45.520 --> 1:21:48.519
<v Speaker 6>Saquon Berkley, I'm gonna give him a b running back

1:21:48.560 --> 1:21:51.240
<v Speaker 6>to high running back two on volume alone, but this

1:21:51.320 --> 1:21:53.880
<v Speaker 6>is a tough matchup for him. Cowboys allowed the tenth

1:21:54.040 --> 1:21:57.040
<v Speaker 6>lowest yards per carry on gap runs last year. Sixty

1:21:57.040 --> 1:22:00.719
<v Speaker 6>percent of Saquon's runs were gap runs. Dallas also allowed

1:22:00.720 --> 1:22:04.000
<v Speaker 6>the eighth lowest receiving yardage two opposing running backs last year,

1:22:04.080 --> 1:22:05.120
<v Speaker 6>so that could be tough for sake.

1:22:05.160 --> 1:22:07.880
<v Speaker 1>One two, Bill's take on the Jets and the Monday nighter,

1:22:08.080 --> 1:22:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and this might be the toughest matchup of the year

1:22:10.479 --> 1:22:13.240
<v Speaker 1>for the Bills offense as they travel to the Jets.

1:22:13.800 --> 1:22:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Didn't ever think we'd be talking about this the Justinigans

1:22:16.200 --> 1:22:18.439
<v Speaker 1>this way. Let's start with the wide receivers and Stefan

1:22:18.479 --> 1:22:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Diggs scoreless in both matchups with the Jets last year

1:22:21.240 --> 1:22:23.839
<v Speaker 1>because of that head to head matchup with Sauce Gardner

1:22:23.840 --> 1:22:26.960
<v Speaker 1>in part. Now, Sauce does not does not shadow. He

1:22:27.000 --> 1:22:29.479
<v Speaker 1>plays one side of the field, but he erases that

1:22:29.520 --> 1:22:32.240
<v Speaker 1>side of the field, giving up just twenty one yards

1:22:32.280 --> 1:22:35.800
<v Speaker 1>per game in his coverage and zero point one touchdowns.

1:22:36.080 --> 1:22:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Sauce Gardner totally legit and you might be thinking, well,

1:22:39.000 --> 1:22:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Steph Diggs could just run from the other side of

1:22:40.800 --> 1:22:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the field. Dj Reid is really good. Yeah, he ranked

1:22:44.479 --> 1:22:47.799
<v Speaker 1>fifteenth at the cornerback position by Pro Football Focus and Coverage.

1:22:47.840 --> 1:22:50.639
<v Speaker 1>So there's nowhere to hide for Steph Diggs here. Two

1:22:50.760 --> 1:22:55.080
<v Speaker 1>dud games last year, including three catches thirty seven yards

1:22:55.280 --> 1:22:57.960
<v Speaker 1>in the most recent game against the Jets. So I've

1:22:57.960 --> 1:23:00.400
<v Speaker 1>just got to be great on Steph Diggs, the great

1:23:00.439 --> 1:23:02.960
<v Speaker 1>on Gabe Davis, who did nothing in this matchup last

1:23:03.040 --> 1:23:06.200
<v Speaker 1>year matching up against Sauce and read. He's healthier for

1:23:06.240 --> 1:23:09.280
<v Speaker 1>this matchup, which helps, but he's just a dart throw

1:23:09.320 --> 1:23:11.599
<v Speaker 1>in a very difficult matchup. I love gave Davis scottam

1:23:11.640 --> 1:23:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Rostered a lot, but I can't really advocate for him here. Say,

1:23:16.320 --> 1:23:19.960
<v Speaker 1>with the passing game Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox, I

1:23:20.040 --> 1:23:22.880
<v Speaker 1>can't start either one in their first NFL game. It

1:23:22.920 --> 1:23:25.200
<v Speaker 1>feels like it's a total wild card situation. We love

1:23:25.280 --> 1:23:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Kinkaid's upside, but week one for rookie tight end. Maybe

1:23:29.360 --> 1:23:30.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, Sam Laparty got a lot of use, but

1:23:31.160 --> 1:23:33.680
<v Speaker 1>he didn't have somebody as polished to Dawson Knox to

1:23:33.680 --> 1:23:36.960
<v Speaker 1>potentially take reps away from him. I just I'm taking

1:23:36.960 --> 1:23:39.280
<v Speaker 1>a wait and see on this. The Jets allowed the

1:23:39.320 --> 1:23:42.000
<v Speaker 1>sixth most yards and the fifth most receptions of tight

1:23:42.080 --> 1:23:46.479
<v Speaker 1>end So not impossible, but I'd rather wait and see.

1:23:46.640 --> 1:23:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not normally skittish on on players like this.

1:23:49.120 --> 1:23:51.400
<v Speaker 3>I've Kincaid in a lot of places. I'm glad I

1:23:51.400 --> 1:23:52.599
<v Speaker 3>can put him on the bench for now.

1:23:52.840 --> 1:23:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, a luxury not many people have at the tight

1:23:55.439 --> 1:23:58.439
<v Speaker 1>end position right now. So where does that leave Josh Allen?

1:23:58.479 --> 1:24:00.479
<v Speaker 1>I just got to be great on him, right so

1:24:00.800 --> 1:24:02.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, we look at I mentioned the difficult matchups

1:24:02.840 --> 1:24:06.040
<v Speaker 1>for Diggs and Davis. Now the good news is the Jets,

1:24:06.040 --> 1:24:09.120
<v Speaker 1>by the way awesome after Week three of last year

1:24:09.200 --> 1:24:12.599
<v Speaker 1>allowing a meager two hundred passing yards and zero point

1:24:12.640 --> 1:24:16.599
<v Speaker 1>six passing touchdowns allowed, and even worse from Week four

1:24:17.160 --> 1:24:22.599
<v Speaker 1>forward last year, thirteen of fourteen opposing quarterbacks through zero

1:24:23.040 --> 1:24:27.559
<v Speaker 1>or one touchdown against the Jets. Now, last year, Josh

1:24:27.560 --> 1:24:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Allen salvaged too otherwise bad passing games by running in

1:24:31.240 --> 1:24:34.280
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in each game. You know, and he might hear too,

1:24:34.400 --> 1:24:36.519
<v Speaker 1>he could run in touchdowns any time, but there's danger.

1:24:36.600 --> 1:24:39.280
<v Speaker 1>So just to be great on Josh Allen, where does

1:24:39.320 --> 1:24:41.200
<v Speaker 1>that leave us with James Cook? You might be asking,

1:24:41.479 --> 1:24:45.559
<v Speaker 1>so up ticking usage coming for sure now with Singletary out.

1:24:46.600 --> 1:24:49.479
<v Speaker 1>Jets allow the fourth fewest touchdowns to opposing running backs

1:24:49.560 --> 1:24:52.439
<v Speaker 1>last season, and they finished this Pro Football Focus's sixth

1:24:52.520 --> 1:24:56.360
<v Speaker 1>best run defense overall. I worry about Damian Harris stealings

1:24:56.479 --> 1:24:59.800
<v Speaker 1>more touches than people think. Still easier to run New

1:24:59.840 --> 1:25:02.080
<v Speaker 1>York the pass. Cook will get enough work I think

1:25:02.080 --> 1:25:04.160
<v Speaker 1>through the air to make him startable CEE grade on

1:25:04.280 --> 1:25:07.040
<v Speaker 1>James Cook. But I can't go higher than that. Let's

1:25:07.080 --> 1:25:09.120
<v Speaker 1>go to the Jets side. I want to start with

1:25:09.120 --> 1:25:11.559
<v Speaker 1>Garrett Wilson. We all love Garrett Wilson here, but I

1:25:11.560 --> 1:25:12.960
<v Speaker 1>got a little bit. I'm a little bit nervous that

1:25:12.960 --> 1:25:15.799
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna get shadow coverage from Tradevius White, who's finally

1:25:15.840 --> 1:25:17.880
<v Speaker 1>back to full health for the first time in two years.

1:25:18.360 --> 1:25:21.799
<v Speaker 1>White gave up just one score last year, and when healthy,

1:25:21.800 --> 1:25:26.200
<v Speaker 1>he can be absolutely elite. Fortunately, Buffalo secondary can be yielding.

1:25:26.240 --> 1:25:28.800
<v Speaker 1>They give up eighteen wide receiver scores last year. That

1:25:28.880 --> 1:25:31.479
<v Speaker 1>was the third most, and Garrett Wilson averaged a healthy

1:25:31.520 --> 1:25:34.000
<v Speaker 1>eighty five yards in his two games against Buffalo last year.

1:25:34.040 --> 1:25:39.160
<v Speaker 1>With Zach Wilson and Mike White at quarterback, So only

1:25:39.160 --> 1:25:41.160
<v Speaker 1>because of Tredevious White. I've dropped him down to a

1:25:41.160 --> 1:25:43.040
<v Speaker 1>B grade. Otherwise it would have been an A grade

1:25:43.080 --> 1:25:46.080
<v Speaker 1>for Garrett Wilson. We're very excited about him. Alan Lazard

1:25:46.720 --> 1:25:50.880
<v Speaker 1>boring but startable. Particularly with White glued to Garrett Wilson.

1:25:50.920 --> 1:25:54.639
<v Speaker 1>That puts Lazard on kiter Elam a far easier matchup.

1:25:54.840 --> 1:25:59.400
<v Speaker 1>He ranked his pro football focus is seventy fourth coverage cornerback.

1:26:00.000 --> 1:26:01.639
<v Speaker 1>All of his zards in play. If you need a

1:26:01.840 --> 1:26:05.639
<v Speaker 1>mundane like six catches sixty yards and the familiarity well,

1:26:05.680 --> 1:26:08.720
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, the familiarity is not too bad. So where

1:26:08.720 --> 1:26:11.839
<v Speaker 1>does that leave us with Aaron Rodgers. You may be wondering,

1:26:12.160 --> 1:26:14.840
<v Speaker 1>fared okay against Buffalo last year. He played Buffalo last year

1:26:14.880 --> 1:26:16.760
<v Speaker 1>as a member of the Packers. Obviously, he threw for

1:26:16.840 --> 1:26:20.040
<v Speaker 1>two hundred yards and two touchdowns in Green Bay. He's

1:26:20.040 --> 1:26:22.040
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of the same weapons that he had

1:26:22.080 --> 1:26:25.280
<v Speaker 1>in Green Bay, right Randall Cobb and Aaron Allen Lazard.

1:26:26.280 --> 1:26:30.080
<v Speaker 1>But Buffalo didn't give up any explosive passing games really

1:26:30.160 --> 1:26:32.840
<v Speaker 1>and pretty much every starting quarterback to face Buffalo just

1:26:32.880 --> 1:26:34.680
<v Speaker 1>did okay. And that's kind of what I expect from

1:26:34.680 --> 1:26:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers. A good not great game and to be

1:26:37.400 --> 1:26:40.760
<v Speaker 1>grade for him. And lastly, Dalvin Cook and Breese Hall.

1:26:41.080 --> 1:26:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Cook and Hall I think likely split reps about evenly here.

1:26:44.680 --> 1:26:46.760
<v Speaker 1>In a tougher matchup, i'd advise you to just take

1:26:46.800 --> 1:26:49.519
<v Speaker 1>away and see approach here. But I like this matchup

1:26:49.520 --> 1:26:52.639
<v Speaker 1>for the Jets runners. Buffalo's run defense ranked twenty six

1:26:52.680 --> 1:26:54.479
<v Speaker 1>par Pro Football Focus. They allowed four and a half

1:26:54.560 --> 1:26:57.120
<v Speaker 1>yards per carry, and the Jets had success running on

1:26:57.240 --> 1:27:01.320
<v Speaker 1>the bills last year with Michael Carter and Zanovin, so

1:27:01.720 --> 1:27:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I think there's an opportunity to start both Cook and

1:27:04.040 --> 1:27:06.599
<v Speaker 1>Brice Hall, but because they're sharing, I can only give

1:27:06.640 --> 1:27:10.200
<v Speaker 1>them a C grade. Okay, all right, that wraps up

1:27:10.240 --> 1:27:13.960
<v Speaker 1>a very complete episode of Fantasy Football Weekly for Week
