00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: pure weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: advice now along with the leagues dot Com. Here's your host,

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: Paul Charge. Hello and welcome to a second COVID edition

6
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul George, and I

7
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: am at home. My cohorts Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson

8
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: are in the studio, so they will sound great and

9
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: I will sound like garbage. Hi, guys, well we know

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: you look great though, Charge, no matter what. Why thank you?

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: Even with even with the coronavirus. My you know, my

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: takes last week also garbage Yours were fantastic. Really it

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: matched the audio quality which was perfect. Um, We're gonna

14
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: try to do better. UM. I appreciate everybody sticking with

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: us despite the audio issue. Do intend to be back

16
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: in the studio next week? I'm our testing negative and

17
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: have been for a while, so UM that's the good news.

18
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: I think we'll be back in the studio full strength

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: next week, which is great. Lots to get too over

20
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: the course of the show. As usual, we've got to

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: take a chance on me with our nine players not

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: normally in your starting lineup. We've got three tough questions,

23
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: the premature speculation, and we'll break down all the game's

24
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: fantasy style with our letter grades. As usual, we begin

25
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: with Brian Johnson. Lions take on the Steelers and Jamal

26
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: Williams ruled out of this game already, So hopefully de'

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: Angelo Swift can make de' angelo no is that's the

28
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: coronavirus talking right there. Hopefully we will get a lot more.

29
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: We'll get a lot better game out of Swift than

30
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: we got last week. We all missed de Angelo Williams

31
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: though in his PAK care he was great. But yeah,

32
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: let's start with the Andre Swift. Yeah, as you mentioned

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: Dre Swift, Jamal Williams ruled out, But you know what,

34
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't really change my prospects on Swift so much.

35
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna give him a seat. It's a very

36
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: tough matchup. Has been seeing snap counts north of seventy

37
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: Swift that is, with Williams out, who will will remain out,

38
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: But again, a very tough matchup. The Steelers are the

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: league's third best run defense per Pro Football Focus. They've

40
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: only allowed two total touchdowns to running back, So I'm

41
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: not too high on Swift this week. You certainly have

42
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: to start them temporary expectations. I will mention, though, that

43
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: Detroit's starting left tackle, Taylor Decker, is likely to make

44
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: his season debut. Their their number one left tackle, so

45
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: that does bode well for Swift. If fully I was

46
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: allowed to give a plus or minus, I might throw

47
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: a plus on there, but I know I'm not so see,

48
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: especially when I got covid alright, alright, I won't. As

49
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: for the wide receivers or or lack thereof. Really, the

50
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: matchup is decent. Uh. Pittsburgh is allowing seventy yards and

51
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: one point to five touchdowns per game to the position.

52
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: But how do you make sense of this when you

53
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: look at Detroit's last game, which is in Week eate

54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: by the way, they're coming off there by, Let's see

55
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: nine targets to the wide receivers for three catches and

56
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: four six scoreless yards, and they all went to I'm sorry,

57
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: I'm not as fast on the button bar as chart.

58
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: I had to find that one and we didn't use

59
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: it last week, so it's probably pretty dusty. We had

60
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: to dust that one off. I'm putting them all on

61
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: the bench. If I had to pick one, I might

62
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: go with Scott Fish's boy Amanra st Brown, who was

63
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: the only wide receiver who caught any passes in Week eight.

64
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: But really they're all on the bench for me. There

65
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: are better options out there. Will certainly get to some

66
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: and take a chance on me in a little bit.

67
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: As for t J Hockenson, I'm not gonna bench him mo,

68
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: but just to see for t J. Pittsburgh has only

69
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: allowed three top ten finishes to tight ends all season,

70
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: but last week the Bears tight ends UH combined for

71
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: seven catches and a hundred plus yards against the Steelers.

72
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: So you're certainly starting t J this week, and you

73
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: are certain you are certainly not starting Jared Goffele he

74
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: is on the bench. That's an easy call there. Over

75
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: to the Pittsburgh side and naj A Harris, Oh, you

76
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: want fantasy Fonzie. You know the matchup is good when

77
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: you can bake the Fonzie into the name. In nag

78
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: A Harris is averaging twenty five opportunities per game, that's

79
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 1: carries plus targets. UH. The Lions are allowing on five

80
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: combo yards and two total touchdowns per game to running back.

81
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: So the easy fantasy Fonzie for Harris. I'm also gonna

82
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: give Deyonte Johnson Deonte Johnson and a H. He has

83
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: seen double digit targets in five of his last seven games,

84
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: and the Lions are allowing more than a hundred and

85
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: seventy yards and nearly a touchdown per game to wide receivers.

86
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: Negative game script is kind of a concern, but Johnson

87
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: is a very strong start. Going to give him an A.

88
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: But Chase Claypool gets a C. That's a lot of

89
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: seas in this line I wrote. It kind of reminds

90
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: me of my high school report cards. But see for Claypool,

91
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: who has been very quiet over the last three games

92
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: totally just nine catches for nine two scoreless yards of

93
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: those three games. I'm sorry, you gotta be ready on

94
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: that in the big chair, Matt, come on, man, h

95
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: Claypool has gotten four carries during that three game span, though,

96
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: averaging seven plus yards per carry. So so watch out,

97
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: Naji Harris. I'm just kidding with that. Of course, a

98
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: couple more guys to mention, Pat fryar Muth tight end move.

99
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: He has not been quiet. Uh sits third among tight

100
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: ends in points per game over the last three weeks.

101
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: It is quickly becoming Ben Roethlisberger's favorite end zone target,

102
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: scoring three touchdowns over his last two games. Detroit isn't

103
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: giving up a ton of fantasy points to tight ends.

104
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: But Muth is tough to sit unless you have an

105
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: elite option like a Travis Kelsey or Darren Waller or

106
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: a Dan Arnold in front of him. But uh, a

107
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: B grade for Pat Fryar Muth for me, and also

108
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: a B for Ben Roethlisberger. The Lions are allowing two

109
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: sixty passing yards and two passing touchdowns per game. And

110
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to make one of the boldest calls in

111
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: the history of the show and say Ben Roethlisberger throws

112
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: for multiple touchdowns today possibly so bold, so bold, and

113
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: against the Lions. And that's it for this game. Brown's

114
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: teak on the Patriots. Mad for the Browns. We we

115
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: have a little bit of clarity at the running back situation.

116
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: We know it's going We're gonna see a lot of

117
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: Dearnest Johnson because it's it's about the last man standing

118
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: for Cleveland. Yeah, so Nick Chubb, Dimitric Felton and John Kelly,

119
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: who's like their fourth or fifth string back, they all

120
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: have COVID. They're on the reserve list. Both Chubb and

121
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: Felton are confirmed vaccinated, but it doesn't look like they're

122
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: gonna get the negative tests in time to get back

123
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: to the game. Uh. Kareem Hunt was speculated to maybe

124
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: return this week, but that's not gonna happen. So that

125
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: leaves d Ernest Johnson is the only healthy running back

126
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: on roster until they signed Brian Hill to the practice

127
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: squad earlier this week. You remember Brian Hill? Uh forget Yeah,

128
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: So the starting running back in this game, which will

129
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: be Deernest Johnson, it looks like gets an A grade.

130
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: If Chubb somehow is healthy, he's not going to alright. Well,

131
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: so the starter for the Browns has never had less

132
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: than sixty nine totally yards this season. In fact, the

133
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: Browns have had thirteen running backs see twelve or more

134
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: touches in a game this year through only nine games,

135
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: and the average day for that running back is one

136
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: hundred nine total yards and almost to score. The Patriots

137
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: allow a hundred and sixty combo yards per game to

138
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: the running back position, So fire up Deerness Johnson with

139
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: an A grade. Baker Mayfield, he's on the bench. Some

140
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,559
Speaker 1: saw the monster bomb to d p J last week

141
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: and the fact that the Browns hung forty one on

142
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: the Bengals and thought Bakers back, but he ended that

143
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: game with only two eighteen and two scores. He's officially

144
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: a game manager now. He's only top two hundred fifty

145
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: yards twice this season, and despite allowing the eighth most completions,

146
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: the Pats don't give up much through the air. It

147
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: only two hundred forty six yards and just over a

148
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: touchdown per game. If to forty six and one excites you, can,

149
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: I interest you in Baker Mayfield because that's exactly what

150
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: he averages. So he's on your bench. I will give

151
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: a S great to Jarvis Landry. I'm gonna keep DPJ

152
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: on the bench though he's completely reliant on the big

153
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: play and the Pats keep everything in front of them.

154
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: Plus he hasn't been practicing this week with a non

155
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: injury related rest designation. Evidently Donovan People's Jones is tired.

156
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: Uh Landry should see high volume but low yardage, since

157
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: sees only averaging ten point two yards per catch this year,

158
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: which is his lowest by a fair margin as a

159
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: member of the Browns, so this type of game makes

160
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: sense for him. He was also a did not participate

161
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: at practice on Wednesday and limited on Thursday with the

162
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: knee injury, so it's only a c for Jarvis Landry.

163
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: All the tight ends on there on the bench for

164
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: the Browns. On the Patriot side, that running back situation

165
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: is almost as thorny as the Browns one. Both Damien

166
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: Harris and Ramandre Stevenson have not practiced at all this week.

167
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: Both are in the concussion protocol and it's not looking

168
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: good for either of them to play this week. That

169
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: would leave J. J. Taylor and Brandon Bolden as your runners.

170
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: Last week, Bolden was ramped up after Harris and Stevenson

171
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: went down, but J. J. Taylor was not active for

172
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: that game. Taylor was active three weeks ago against the

173
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: Jets on nine carries in a game and UH scored

174
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: twice in that one. Bolden was also a part of

175
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: that game. He had two carries for zero yards and

176
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: had six catches for seventy nine. So I would put

177
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: Bolden as the pass catcher. Taylor would be a runner.

178
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: I'll give both of them C grades just on the

179
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: prospects of the red zone work, because the Browns have

180
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: allowed the third most receiving scores to opposing backs this season. Guy,

181
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: I've been talking for a long time. Jeez, there's already

182
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: a long matchup. Matchup Hunter Henry, I'm gonna give a

183
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: B grade to The Browns have allowed touchdowns twice in

184
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: the last five games, and they were two big end

185
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: zone target style guys, Donald Parham and Pat friar Muth.

186
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry has scored in five of his last six

187
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: and has a red zone target in six straight weeks. Um,

188
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: so he's in the B grade. Jacoby Myers has now

189
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: gone thirty eight games without a touchdown. Brandon Zilstra has

190
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: appeared in about that many games and he has a touchdown.

191
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: But now that I publicly challenged Kobe Myers, he's going

192
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: to score for sure this week. But he and Kendrick

193
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: Born and Nelson Agila are all on the bench. Mac

194
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: Jones only gets a C grade. Hasn't set the world

195
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: ablaze with his stats this year, but he's twisted a

196
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: few ankles. The Browns have been beatable lately, though they've

197
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: allowed the second most passing touchdowns in the league over

198
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: the last five weeks, and three of the last five

199
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks they faced have gone over two eighties. So he's

200
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: startable with a C grade. Who that's my longest matchup

201
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: by a time. I hope that was your longest match up,

202
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: and will try to be very fast, uh, Dalvin Cooks

203
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: and obviously against the team allowing the most rushing yards

204
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: per game, and we'll just move on from there. You're

205
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: gonna start him justin Jefferson and Adam thieland clock in

206
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: with just C grades. Cornerback Asante Samuel. It turns to

207
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: the Chargers secondary um from after missing last week, but

208
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: Michael Davis is out, there's a little bit of help there.

209
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: But um, this has been a very good received a

210
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: group of of secondary members. Heck, only one receiver's top

211
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: seventy yards against the Chargers all season, Los Angeles giving

212
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: up the third FEUs yards to receivers just one thirty

213
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: two per game. Jefferson has posted at least eighty yards

214
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: or a touchdown in six of the past seven, which

215
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: gives him an edge a little bit over theland, I think,

216
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: although concerning that Jefferson only targeted on nine of seventy

217
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: three kirk cousins past attempts over the past two weeks.

218
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: Theland brings touchdowns to the table, as you already know,

219
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: but when he doesn't score, he gets you very little.

220
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: And the Chargers will only give up four touchdowns the

221
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: white Outs all year. So the probability is that Theland

222
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: doesn't score here and then you get stuck. So just

223
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: to see grade on theeling for Tyler Conklin, a by

224
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: week C grade for Conklin against a Chargers defense that's

225
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: been yielding to elite tight ends like Travis Kelsey, Darren

226
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: Waller and Mark Andrews. But that is not Tyler Conklin.

227
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: Mortals are fearing much more poorly against the Chargers. But

228
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: if you were in a real pinch, you could can

229
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: sitter him here and kirk Cousins is on the bench.

230
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: The only positive trend working for Kirk here is that

231
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa may not play in this game. Um everything

232
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: else works against him. The receiver matchups are difficult to say,

233
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: just outlined. He's not throwing down field, either by design

234
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: or inability, Chargers having given up more than two hundred

235
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: ten passing yards in their last three contests, and Cousins

236
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: hasn't thrown for more than one hundred eighties seven yards

237
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: in back to back games, which is dismal for his standards.

238
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: On the season, the Chargers rank number three in passing

239
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: yards number two in passing touchdowns allowed. This game is

240
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: gonna be all about the groundwork, and I don't like

241
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: Cousins here, so he is on the bench. Austin Ekeler

242
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: is an obvious A. I'm only going to mention that

243
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: the Vikings are gonna be without run stuffing defensive tackle

244
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: Michael Pierce again, who apparently had a setback, and and

245
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna open things up for Eckler to have a

246
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: good game, particularly on the ground and also potentially through

247
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: the air, because the guy who of the Vikings defensive

248
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: most commonly tracks receiving running backs is Anthony Barr and

249
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: he's out of this game too, So Eclick could be

250
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: sitting on a really pretty game here. Justin air Bear.

251
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: It's an easy A grade. By the way, I am

252
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: looking at my air Bear T shirt, my official first

253
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: effort to market air Bear T shirt and Matt it

254
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: looks fantastic And if people want to see the air

255
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: Bear T shirt for themselves. Where do they go shock

256
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: fantasy dot Com slash shop. You'll find the link to

257
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: the air Bear t shirt right there. Yeah, it's very nice,

258
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: high quality cotton too. It's very comfortable. Easy A grade

259
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: against the secondary missing Patrick Peterson and potentially it's other

260
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: outside cornerback Breshot Breland, who's shaping up as a game

261
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: time decision. Without Peterson, the Vikings have allowed back to

262
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: back big games to Cooper Rush and Lamar Jackson, who

263
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: went berserk on them. The loss of edge rusher Daniel

264
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: Hunter means Herbert's gonna have a bunch of time to

265
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: scan the field and unload deep passes here. That means

266
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: I love his his primary receiver, Keenan Allen, who runs

267
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: all over the field but primarily from the slot. Rail

268
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: faced Mackenzie Alexander a good but not don dating quarterback.

269
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: Cornerback Alexander seeds a sent catch rate and a one

270
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: eight passer rating in his coverage. He allowed his first

271
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: touchdown of the season last week, and Alan just remaining

272
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: a target hog with eleven or more targets in four

273
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: of the past six games. Easy eight grade there. What

274
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: about Mike Williams, who's way Thorn here in the past

275
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: three games, he's everything just five targets and thirty five

276
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: receiving yards. But the primo matchups on the outside against

277
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: Cameron Dandler and possibly bottom of the depth chart guy

278
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: Chris Boyd is antalizing. So I've got a B grade

279
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: and what I expect to be a bounce back performance

280
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: from Mike Williams here. All of the various Los Angeles

281
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: tight ends, I think there's probably a touchdown to be

282
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: had here, But they're splitting everything up between Cook and

283
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: Anderson a Parham, and that to me feels like they

284
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: are all dark throws. And so I think we put

285
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: them all on the bench, um. And if you had

286
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: if I had to pick one, I would pick I'd

287
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: pick Cook. And again the loss of bar might help

288
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: out here. Overall, I don't think you want to go

289
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: to war here with any of these tight ends. When

290
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, we will give

291
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: you nine guys upon whom you can take a chance.

292
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: Many of these guys are available in the waiver wire.

293
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: We'll tell you who they are when we come back

294
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Football Weekly. It's take a chance on me.

295
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: Nine players not normally new started glide up many of

296
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: these guys available on the waiver wire. We begin at

297
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, and Matt Harrison. I'm gonna go with

298
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Uh. He's probably teetering close to not take

299
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: a chance on me status after throwing I don't I

300
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: don't think so either. He's multiple scores in sixth straight

301
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns in each of his last two games.

302
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: He's not putting up huge yardage totals though, but that's

303
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: okay because the Jaguars like to allow huge yardage totals

304
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: almost two eighty seven per game. So let's fire him

305
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: up and I throw a B grade on him. By

306
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: the way, all right, Brian, your take a chance on

307
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: me quarterback? I got New Orleans Trevor Simeon at the Titans. Uh.

308
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: Tennessee owns the second highest opponent passing play percentage in

309
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: the league at sixty five point seven per cent, and

310
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: that ratio is even higher in home games. Uh. The

311
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: Titans are allowing two five passing yards nearly two passing

312
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game. And hey, a third string Jets quarterback

313
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson can go for two, nine, seven and two

314
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: against Tennessee. I like Trevor Simeon this week, and I

315
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: might like one of his receivers a lot too. We'll

316
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: see in a minute or two. Yeah, I'm holding my breath.

317
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: I think people are thinking to think back to the

318
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: Rams game last week and be afraid of that Titan secondary.

319
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it is exploitable. I like that.

320
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: That's a bold call. I'm gonna in between your two

321
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks with Matt Ryan. Dallas ranks bottom ten in fantasy

322
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: points allowed to quarterbacks without a lot of fanfare. Ryan's

323
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: actually been really effective. He's throwing for two hundred ninety

324
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: four yards and over two touchdowns per games since the

325
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: opening week, and he's topped three hundred thirty yards and

326
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: three of the past four games. Meanwhile, Dallas has two

327
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: starting cornerbacks, Traymon Digs and Anthony Brown are along the

328
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: most and the second most yardage in their coverage. We'll

329
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: talk more about that one later on as well. Let's

330
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: go to the running back position. Matt, who's your take

331
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: a chance on me runner? I've got a J. Dillon

332
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: of the Packers. Here's the touch totals for a J.

333
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: Dillon since Week four sixteen, twelve eleven four. Then sixteen twelve.

334
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: So if you follow that pattern, he's gonna get exactly

335
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: eleven touches this week. If you actually follow the average,

336
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna get eleven touches this week. To every running

337
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: back who's seen double digit carries against the Seahawks has

338
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: topped seventy total yards and of the nine backs, so wait,

339
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: here we go nine times, nine times of the nine

340
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: backs who've reached that mark, only to haven't topped one

341
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: yards or scored. All Right, Brian Youna, take a chance

342
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: of your runner. Buffalo is Devon Singletary at the Jets.

343
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: Zack Moss likely to return after getting knocked out last

344
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: week against the Jaguars with a concussion, so some might

345
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: stray from Singletary here, But before Moss left the game,

346
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: Singletary was out touching and outperforming Moss. Uh And it's

347
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: quite simple here. The Jets have surrendered the most fantasy

348
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: points to opposing running back, so there should be plenty

349
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: to go around for both backs in this one. I'm

350
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: ready to throw in the towel on Moss. I'm just

351
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: don't do it, So don't do it. So disappointed, don't

352
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: do it. Kenyan Drake goes up against Kansas City. Since

353
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: the change at head coach, Kenyan Drake savaging eleven touches

354
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: for eight five total yards and one touch down per game.

355
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: Not bad um, perhaps filling some of the void left

356
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: by Henry Ruggs. He's also coming off a season high

357
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: and targets, receptions and receiving yards, so they like to

358
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: throw to him. There is clearly more involved in the

359
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: post brooding game. Plans has got a great opportunity against

360
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City, especially through the air. Chiefs allowing the sixth

361
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: most receiving yards and the tenth most receptions per game

362
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs. All right, let's go to our

363
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: whiteouts and Matt Harrison. If you had equate one player

364
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: with me on this show, it would definitely be Dan

365
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: Arnold because I've been beating that Dan Arnold drum forever. Yeah,

366
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: that's right. Arnold continues to get targets and yards for

367
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: the Jags. The big day is coming with the touchdowns

368
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: over the last five weeks. Travis Kelsey, Mark Andrews, Mike Cassicki,

369
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: t J. Hockenson, and Kyle Pitts. Those are the only

370
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: tight ends with more targets and catches than Dan Arnold,

371
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: and all of those players are stuck in fantasy starting lineup,

372
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 1: So let's go with dan Arnold against the Colts this week.

373
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: They've given up double digit PPR points to five of

374
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: the last nine tight ends they faced, including touchdowns, and

375
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: each of the last two weeks to Jeff Swain and

376
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: Ryan Griffin. Dan Arnold's gonna score this week? All right?

377
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: I like it calling your shot, Brian, since you can't

378
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: have Dan Arnold, who are you taking? Talk about a layup?

379
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go take the easy way out with Dan

380
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: Arnold and take a chance. I'm going on. I'm going

381
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: back to the Saints and Marquez Callaway at the Titans.

382
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: The Titans are yielding twenty six plus targets per game

383
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: to wide receivers, by far the highest clip in the NFL.

384
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: Tennessee also yielding nearly five red zone targets per games

385
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: and receivers also the highest clip. And Callaway leads the

386
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: Saints with nine red red red zone targets, four of

387
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: which have been converted to touchdowns. Oh and guess what,

388
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: it's a homecoming game for the former Tennessee volunteer Marques

389
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: at the Titans. Oh yeah, maybe let's do it. It

390
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: would have been even better if he was a Vanderbilt guy.

391
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: Since it's in Nashville. That's a good point at the

392
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: same state. Um and and that's it did is driving distance,

393
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: So there's that true. Three weeks ago, I tried Tyler

394
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: Johnson against Chicago in a blue up in my face,

395
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: but I'm going back to Tyler Johnson again because it's

396
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: such a compelling matchup and hopefully this time it works out.

397
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: In the three games without Antonio Brown, Tyler Johnson's averaging

398
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: five targets, three catches fifty yards, not bad. Hasn't scored.

399
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: Now Tampa's without Brown for sure, and maybe Chris Godwin

400
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: as well, who's a game time decision. So I mean

401
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: Taylor Johnson can line up on the outside in replacing Brown,

402
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: you can line up in the slot replacing Godwin. And

403
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: he runs from both anyway, so he can do both.

404
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: Washington has allowed the third most yards and the second

405
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: most touchdowns to wide receivers um and whipp he does

406
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: go in the slot, he's got a juicy matchup against

407
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: safety turned slot corner Landon Collins, who has allowed the

408
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: second most yardage among all safeties. Slash I guess slot corners,

409
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: so a great opportunity for Tyler Johnson. Let's hope this

410
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,479
Speaker 1: time it pays off and I don't look like an

411
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: ass like last time. Not bloody likely. Now, let's let's

412
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: hope that isn't the case, Brian. Let's go to the

413
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: Bills taking on the Jets. I just told you I'm

414
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: very nervous about Zack Moss. He's trying to get through

415
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol. He looks like he's going to be

416
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: close to a game time decision on this. What are

417
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: your thoughts? And you already told us you like Singletary

418
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: in this one? Uh, tell us more about the Buffalo Bills. Yeah,

419
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: real quick, this is this is the first meeting of

420
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: the season between these divisional opponents, so we can't go

421
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: back to the first meeting quite yet. But Devin Singletary

422
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: was might take a chance on me running back. I've

423
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: heard Zack Moss is likely to play. If he does,

424
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: I give him a C two. If not, clearly will

425
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: bump up Singletary to a B level grade. But again,

426
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: the Jets surrendering the most fantasy points to opposing running back,

427
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: so if both play, it's a great matchup for both guys.

428
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: Very good matchup for Stephen Diggs as well. Going to

429
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: give him an A. The Jets lost their best player

430
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: in their secondary to a torn achilles last week. That

431
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: safety Marcus may bodes well for Digs, of course, also

432
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: bodes well at the Jets have allowed at least one

433
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdown in four of their last five games.

434
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: Over to his other starting wide receiver opposite him, Cole Beasley.

435
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: I'll give him a B and PPR and C and standard.

436
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: Over the last three games, Beasley as a whopping twenty

437
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: five catches on thirty three targets. And I'm not sure

438
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: what compelled me to make this comparison, but Allen Robinson

439
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: has just five more catches on the season than Cole Beasley.

440
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: In nine games, He's got thirty catches, Beasley has twenty five.

441
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: Over the last three weeks, uh and Beasley had eleven

442
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: catches one twelve yards and the latest meeting between these

443
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: two teams last seasons. Will love Beasley list this week

444
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: uh Manny Sanders going to give him a C. Was

445
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: worried Gabe Davis might be stealing Sanders job after Sanders

446
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: had the goose egg in week eight. But Sanders out

447
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: targeted Davis eight to two last week, so his role

448
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: as wide receiver three seems secure. So he gets a

449
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: C grade. Uh, now it's TB D who's gonna play

450
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: tight end? If it's gonna be Dawson Knox or Tom Sweeney,

451
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: I'll give us has been cleared officially, but he don't

452
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: know for sure because of the hand injury. Right is

453
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, is is he able to catch as well

454
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: as he would have otherwise? Right if it's a different

455
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: kind of injury, you know, you feel you feel a

456
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: little bit more confident about starting him. But he will

457
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: be on the field on Sunday. I hope he's wearing

458
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: a club too. That that guys never wear the club anymore.

459
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: Do you remember that where they just the whole hand

460
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: was just in the big ball at the end and

461
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: they then if you were like a member of the

462
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: Steelers in the seventies, you just beat dudes with that hand.

463
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: Do people use the club thing on their steering wheels?

464
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: Still remember that? I remember that? Well? Now that Moody

465
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: is the water is it's it's a really good matchup.

466
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, now that Knox is playing, I'm kind of scared,

467
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: So you know what, I'm gonna bench Knox and both

468
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: Sweeney tom so a bench for those guys who are

469
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 1: better tight ends out there. They're going to see more

470
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: work than either one of those guys and Josh Allen

471
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: lastly and easy a forget last week against Jacksonville Water

472
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: under the Bridge. Alan threw for three plus yards in

473
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: both games against the Jets last year also had rushing

474
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: totals with fifty seven and sixty one yards. He should

475
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: bounce back big time and this one. As for the Jets,

476
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: not a ton of t talk about. Michael Carter does

477
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: get a starting grade with the c Very tough matchup,

478
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: but still startable based on expected volume. Carter has touch

479
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: totals of fourteen, twenty four, and nineteen over his last

480
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: three games. He's also been targeted times during that span,

481
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: so a CEE for Carter. As for the wide receivers,

482
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: Corey Davis should make his return after missing the last

483
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: two games with a hip injury, but he, Elijah Moore,

484
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: and Jamison crowd are are all on the bench. For me.

485
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: The Bills are the toughest defense against wide receivers, allowing

486
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: just twelve catches and six yards per game total to

487
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: the unit, to wide receiver units, and just two total

488
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns all season to the position. And lastly, Mike White.

489
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: He's a low end starter in two quarterback leagues, but

490
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: an easy bench in a brutal matchup. The Bills have

491
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 1: allowed the fewest points to opposing quarterbacks. You know, I

492
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: get the feeling that we could probably work in one

493
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: more matchup into this segment. Do you think you can

494
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: get Jags colds done in under three minutes? Sure? All right,

495
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: let's do it. So the Jags beat the Bills last

496
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: week nine to six and did nothing in fantasy. Trevor

497
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: Laura's only managed a hundred and eighteen passing yards. Carlos

498
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: Hyde ran for sixty seven yards on twenty one carries,

499
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: and three Jags wide receivers topped the twenty yard mark,

500
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: but none hit the thirty yard mark. What a weird win.

501
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: So let's talk about this week. James Robinson did practice

502
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: for the first time since Week eight on Thursday, but

503
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: was very limited. It's fifty fifty that he goes in

504
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: this one at best. If he does go, I'll give

505
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: him a C probably, but would be a B. But

506
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm worried he gets reinjured or spelled by Carlos Hide.

507
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: If Robinson doesn't go, I'll flip the sea to hide.

508
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: Who is the clear bell cow in Robinson's absence. The

509
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: Colts have been very solid at keeping opposing runners out

510
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: of the end zone, only allowing four total touchdowns to

511
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: the position on the season. Other than that, their middle

512
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: of the pack defense in terms of yards allowed, so

513
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: the bell cow will likely exit with eighty to nine yards.

514
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: The passing game is interesting, Dan Arnold was might take

515
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: a chance on me. Receiver Trevor Lawrence sees a defense

516
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: that allowed four hundred twelve passing yards and four touchdowns

517
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: to the combo of Mike White and Josh Johnson, who

518
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: sound more like guys who would open a micro brewery

519
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: in Osakis than NFL quarterbacks. So I think we'll call

520
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: the brewery Peacock Brewing Company. Yeah. Um. In fact, Davis

521
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: Mills and Jimmy g are the only quarterbacks not to

522
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: hit the multiple score mark against the Coal the Colts.

523
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: And they have roads out as well for this one. Yeah. Absolutely,

524
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: And they have a brick of and pizza food truck

525
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: outside the Peacock Brewing building. So I'll give Lawrence a

526
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: Sea in this one has still hasn't had multiple scores

527
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: since Week one, and since the London game in Week six,

528
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: the Jags have had a more focused approach to all

529
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: pass catchers. Marvin Jones, Jamal Agnew, and Dan Arnold have

530
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: all had twenty two or twenty three targets, fourteen or

531
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: fifteen catches right around a hundred and fifty yards, and

532
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: Laviska Schnalt is down as the fourth option right now,

533
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: so Jones is on the field most The snap counts

534
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: between Agnew and Schnlt are getting closer. Both take over

535
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: half their routes from the slot, but move around a

536
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: lot and I'll throw a B on Jones this week?

537
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: Who gets Xavier Roads backup? Whose name is bo Pete? Keys? Wow?

538
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: Bo Peep? Yeah, I guess bo Peep he might might

539
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: as Hey, we got one of these we can perfect

540
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: called little perfect little bo Pete. Little bo Pete has

541
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: given up a perfect passer rating this season. By the way,

542
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: Agnew and chnaltarre both take a chance of me style

543
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: sees um the colt side is really easy. Jonathan Taylor

544
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: is an a not quite an art vark, though, as

545
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: the Jags have been sneaky good against runners. Their top

546
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: six in yards per carry and rushing yards allowed, but

547
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: they have allowed the ninth most touchdowns. Carson Wentz was

548
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: might take a chance on me, Tossi Tosser and Michael Pittman.

549
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: He gets an A. The rest of the Colts wide

550
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: receivers are on the bench. It looks like t Y

551
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: Hilton will play, so that muddies things up for Zach Pascal.

552
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: But Pittman has been great and the Jags are allowing

553
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: a hundred and nine two passing yards to the wide receiver,

554
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: so he's a A. But don't start Mo Ali Cox

555
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: or Jack Doyle unless you want two targets. Yeah, that's

556
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: the problem with those guys. If they ever if they

557
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: ever bled into one human being, perhaps with four arms

558
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: and four legs, then at that point I think would

559
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: be a lot more Mo Ali Doyle or Jaguar Ali Cox.

560
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that a lot better. I

561
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: like that a lot. Oh, that doesn't sound good. When

562
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: we come back Chiefs at Raiders, Patrick Mahomes, what you're

563
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: gonna do? But Patrick Mahomes, it's one of the toughest

564
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: calls of the year, believe it or not, we'll give

565
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: you advice on whether or not he's going to revert

566
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: to form against Las Vegas when we return to Fantasy

567
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm Paul Charchi

568
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: my coast today or Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson. It

569
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: is the COVID edition again. Like last week, I am

570
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: at home, which is why I sound like garbage and

571
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: my co host in the studio sound great. Hello, guys,

572
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: we do sound great. You know it doesn't sound great

573
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: starting Patrick Mahomes. It used to sound it sounded so

574
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: good before you didn't have to give it a thought.

575
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: But suddenly here we are in a position where you

576
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: don't know if you can start Patrick Mahomes. I believe

577
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: I have my lowest ranking on Patrick Mahomes ever on

578
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: career this week. How bad has it gotten for Patrick

579
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes over the last three weeks. Among the teams that

580
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: have not had a bye, Patrick Mahomes has only outscored

581
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. Think about that, and he was playing with

582
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: a broken shoulder and he missed, but he missed parts

583
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: of games he's Mahomes has been outscored by nine quarterbacks

584
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: who did have a bye over the last three weeks,

585
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: including Geno Smith, Taylor Heineke, and the Houston combo of

586
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: Davis Mills and and Taylor uh Tyrod Tyrod Taylor. It's

587
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: it's staggering to think that it's come to this for

588
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Now as a whole, the city of Las

589
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: Vegas is filled with slump busters, but the Raiders are

590
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: not one of them. Unfortunately, Mahomes is struggling against defenses

591
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: that can generate a pass rush with their base defense,

592
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: and here comes the Raiders with Pro Football focuses number

593
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: one graded pass rush. So everything's lining up just wrong

594
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: for ma Homes here again. Now, I will say this, historically,

595
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: Mahomes has excelled against the Raiders. His average game against

596
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: them throughout his career fourteen yards, which is great, But

597
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: he's never played at the level that he's playing at

598
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: right now. And it's part of it is certainly at Mahomes,

599
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: but it's also on and I'm banged up offensive line,

600
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: which will be banged up again for this game. I

601
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: can't tell you to start Patrick Mahomes, and I only

602
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: have a C grade on Mahomes. If it were virtually

603
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: any other quarterback, this would be a straight bench grade,

604
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: But I can't do it with Mahomes because the history

605
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: and we know that he's an amazing talent and no

606
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: nobody would be surprised if Patrick Mahomes showed up with

607
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: three d yards and three touchdowns. It wouldn't surprise anybody

608
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: in the slightest including me. And I'm giving him the

609
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: C grade at the same time, based on everything we're

610
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: looking here at on paper, this this, I can't tell you.

611
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: I can't give you solid reasons why Holmes is any

612
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: better now than he would be uh than he would

613
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: be had and has been the last three weeks. Let's

614
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: go to his receivers, Tyreek Kill. Despite mahomes struggles, he's

615
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: still peppering Hill with targets at least ten in five

616
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: of the last six games, which gives Hill a sizeable

617
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: leg up um on the outside. Hill's gonna see Vegas

618
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: is best cornerback Casey Hayward, who has yet to allow

619
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: score or more than four eight yards in a game.

620
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: But Heyward's pretty slow. He's like a four six guy,

621
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: and that might be tricky against Tyreek Hill. And Hayward

622
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: doesn't travel into the slot, and Hill will run from

623
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: the slot a lot and when he runs from the slot,

624
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: he'll gets Nate Hobbs. But the weird thing is as

625
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: anonymous as Nate Hobbs is, he's been awesome too. He

626
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: ranks his Pro Football focus is number seven cornerback, and

627
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: he is not allowed to touch down all season, so

628
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: there's really nowhere where he'll goes where he's got an

629
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: easy matchup in this game. And so just the B

630
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: grade on Hill, and I think I've given Hill A

631
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: grades in every other game this year, so this is

632
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: a new low for him as well. Travis Kelsey comes

633
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: in with a B grade, averaging nine targets per game.

634
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: The volume keeps him as an automatic start. Even though

635
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: Kelsey's touchdown production he has one touchdown since Week five.

636
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: That's it. Still. Kelsey has caught all seven of his

637
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: red zone targets and he's converted four of those into touchdowns.

638
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: And you know he's always a threat to score right

639
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: us have a lot five tighten touchdowns over the last

640
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: five games. So that's why I've kept a B grade

641
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: and not a C grade on Travis Kelsey, which sounds weird,

642
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: but that's where we're at right now. Clyde Edwards, a

643
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: layer could make his return for this game, he's a

644
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: game time decision. I'll remind you guys, prior to his

645
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: knee injury, he was coming off his best set of

646
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 1: consecutive games in his career, and that was Weeks three

647
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: and four, with over one hundred rushing yards in both games.

648
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: And Darryl Williams hasn't been particularly good, just three point

649
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: six yards per carry. So if Edwards a Layer comes back,

650
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: I think he if he's good enough to come back,

651
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: I think he gets most of the work here because

652
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: Williams hasn't been that good, but he's no workhorse, and

653
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: he's averaging just fifteen touches per game. And if even

654
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: that drops a bit because it's his first game back. Man,

655
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: if he's at like twelve touches a game, then the

656
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 1: most we can probably do here is a C grade.

657
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: Even though the Raiders just got steamrolled by Devanta Booker

658
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: and Alijah Penny for a hundred and thirty five runching yards. Um,

659
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: I still think that's the best we can do out

660
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 1: of Hilaire. Now, if Laire doesn't go, then Darryl Williams

661
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: walks into this a C grade, and I like him

662
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: at that spot even if he hasn't been great, All right,

663
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: let's flip over to the Raiders side of this game,

664
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: and we'll begin with Derek Carr. Over his last three games,

665
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: he's everything three hundred sixteen passing yards per game. That

666
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: is third most in the league, which which I lovey

667
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: comes in playing well. Kansas City's past defense has been

668
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: better lately, and a lot of it is really hinged

669
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 1: on the cornerback Lagarius sneed moving from the outside into

670
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: the slot. I'm gonna talk more about that in a second.

671
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: When we talked about Hunter Hunter renfro Um, but course

672
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: Smoked car Smoked a better version of this Chiefs secondary

673
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: last year average in the average during her fifteen yards

674
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns in the two games Um, and only

675
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: Jordan loved Taylor Heineken and Baker Mayfield have failed to

676
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: put up multiple touchdowns against the Chiefs. So I think

677
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: he finds his way to a couple of scores here

678
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: and around three hundred yards. And that's a B grade

679
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: for Derek Carr, a grade for his top receiver, Darren Waller.

680
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: If last week is any indication, all of Henry Ruggs's

681
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: targets are gonna go to Darren Waller, who posted his

682
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: biggest game since the opener, maybe not coincidentally in Vegas

683
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 1: first game without their deep threat. Waller had his highest

684
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 1: yards per catch game last week, so they were throwing

685
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: to Waller down field. Kansas City has given up five

686
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: tight end touchdowns over the last five weeks. That's tied

687
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: for the most during that span. And what's more, over

688
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: those five games, every opposing tight end except Green Bay's

689
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: Josiah degu Aa, I know, all of the opposing tight

690
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: ends except that guy who have caught at least two

691
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: passes have scored a touchdown against the Chief. So Waller

692
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: is an a in this one. I mentioned Hunter hunter

693
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: Renfro earlier. With rugs gone last week, the Fro led

694
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: all Raiders wide outs in targets, receptions, and yards. Fascinating

695
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: matchup in the slot against Lagaria Snead, who since moving

696
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: to the slot has been very good. Is not giving

697
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: up any scores and just a sixty eight percent catch

698
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: rate since then. Still a slight advantage here to the

699
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: Fro considering how good he's been of late and a

700
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: B grade for him. Kenyan Drake was might take a

701
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: chance on me player and running back and Josh Jacobs

702
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 1: also gets a and he by the way, see grade

703
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: for for Drake, a B grade for Josh Jacobs. Chiefs

704
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: are allowing one forty one total yards per game to

705
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: opposing running backs. That is tenth most. A big chunk

706
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: of that comes through the air, as I mentioned a

707
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: little bit, and we talked about Drake, and I like

708
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: Drake there too, but Jacobs is also emerging in the

709
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: passing game. He's hauled in eighteen of twenty targets on

710
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 1: the year. Vegas offensive line has been woeful at run blocking,

711
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: but that really hasn't effected Jacob's that much. Who's seen

712
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: his yards per carry increase in five consecutive games, So

713
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: I like him. In this one last thing, I'll mention

714
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: if you if you thought Brian Edwards might be helped

715
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: out with with Henry ruds out that did not materialize

716
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: at all last week was zero catches. Let's go to

717
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: our next matchup, which is Saints taking on the Titans. Brian,

718
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: it looks like we will have a news starting running

719
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: back for the Saints. Mark Ingram expected to get the

720
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: vast majority of the looks here for New Orleans. Alvin

721
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: Kamara ruled out, so it is mark Ingram time, albeit

722
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 1: in a tough matchup. Tennessee has surrendered the sixth fewest

723
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 1: rushing yards to opposing backs, but they do allow nearly

724
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: five catches per game to the position, and Ingram appears

725
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: to be in line for a bell cow role in

726
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 1: this one, so I'm gonna give him a B on

727
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: expected volume. Over to the wide receivers. Marquez Callaway was

728
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: might take a chance on the wide receiver, but I

729
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: think you can throw see darts at Deante Harris and

730
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: Trey Kwon Smith in that order I mentioned earlier. The

731
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: Titans are yielding twenty six plus targets per game to

732
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: wide receivers, by far the highest clip in the NFL.

733
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: Adam Troutlin, though tight end is on the bench. Tennessee

734
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 1: is allowing less than four catches in just thirty yards

735
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: per game to opposing tight ends. And Trevor simeon Us

736
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: might take a chance on me quarterback as well. Hey,

737
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: Brian Art, see darts just harpoons. Oh that's a good one. Yeah,

738
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: it is like that. You can harpoon them over to

739
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 1: the Titans side. Adrian Peterson gotta put him on the bench.

740
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: Lead the team and carries in his debut with ten

741
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: also scored a touchdown, but Dante Foreman and Jeremy Jeremy

742
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: McNichols combined for twelve carries and a much higher yards

743
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: per carry. They combined for four point four yards per

744
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: carry as opposed to the two point one yards per

745
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: carry from Adrian Peterson. Expect Peterson's usage to increase a

746
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: little here, but a very tough matchup. Opposing teams are

747
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: only running the ball thirty seven percent at the time

748
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: against New Orleans who has allowed just one runner to

749
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: top seventy rushing yards, and that was Christian McCaffrey in

750
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: Week two when he had seventy two rushing yards on

751
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: twenty four carries. So Peterson on the bench and this

752
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: one a J. Brown, though not on the bench, gonna

753
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: give him an A. Yes, I'll likely draw a lot

754
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: of coverage from Marshawn Lattimore, but Lattimore is seriously struggling,

755
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: surrendering five scores over his last five games. He's also

756
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 1: allowed at least one yards in his coverage and three

757
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: of those five games, and granted his assignments have been elite.

758
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: Lattimore as that is, but so is healthy So is

759
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: a healthy A J. Brown very elite? So in A

760
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: for a J. Brown and uh for his counterpart, Julio Jones.

761
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick trip down memory lane. Julio has

762
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: faced the Saints eighteen times in his career, all with

763
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: the Falcons. Of course. Do you want to guess how

764
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 1: many touchdowns Julio has scored in those eighteen games against

765
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: New Orleans? It's either going to be an insane amount

766
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: or like two. It's insanely sad amount. Three touchdowns in

767
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: those eighteen games and the last one game in twenty sixteen.

768
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: But New Orleans is allowing fifteen catches, two hundred and

769
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: fifteen yards and one point to five touchdowns per game

770
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: to opposing wide receivers. So I gotta give Julio a

771
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 1: B in this one. Uh. As for Jeff Swaim, who

772
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: is pretty much the tight end one on the Saints, now,

773
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: I was close to giving him a C after scoring

774
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: in back to back games, but the Saints are one

775
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: of three teams that have yet to surrender a tight

776
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: end touchdown. So I got Swam on the bench and

777
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: this one to but keep an eye on him in

778
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: then tighten in the tight end waste Land and last,

779
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 1: but not least, Ryan Tannehill gets an easy B based

780
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: on the plus matchups for his wide receivers. Tannehill can

781
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: also do some damage on the ground. The most mobile

782
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: quarterback the scenes that faced was Taylor Heineke, who ran

783
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: for forty yards, which, of course in most fantasy leagues

784
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: equals a passing touchdown. So B for Tannehill like uh,

785
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: Tannehill is a is could be He's He's always been

786
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: a sneaky rusher for touchdowns and with Derrick Henry out

787
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: that might that might continue to be the case. Um,

788
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: we've got a few extra minutes to work with here. Guys,

789
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: talk to me about Miles Gaskin. There are a lot

790
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: of people that started him off of what had been

791
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: relatively consistent work, but he has been as boom or

792
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: bust as anybody. I think there's too many some temptations

793
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: for Miles gascon owners to just drop him out right

794
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: next week. What do you think, Yeah, it's looking pretty nasty,

795
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: just just the production that he's had in the last

796
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 1: couple of games. I believe he had the twenty four

797
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: worst yards in a game where a player had twenty

798
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: rushing attempts since the merger, it was it was like

799
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: absolutely ridiculous. That was two weeks ago. He's on a

800
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: weird like struggling and even weeks though and going off

801
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: in odd weeks. I don't know if you want to

802
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: drop him in week eleven because he might go off

803
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: based on that scientific fact. So I'm joking, of course. Yeah,

804
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: and only thirty isn't he is not top thirty and

805
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: looking at his stabs right now, he has not top

806
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: thirty six rushing yards in three weeks. And when he

807
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: when he when he has bad games, basically, if he

808
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: doesn't score, you're stuck on Miles Gaskon and that is

809
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: not the kind of guy I want on my roster.

810
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: Well and charge if you go every other week on it.

811
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,439
Speaker 1: He didn't have a great game against the Ravens, Yeah,

812
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: that's bad. But he gets the Jets next week and

813
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: that's good. And then he get gets the Panthers the

814
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: week after that and that's bad, and then he gets

815
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: the Giants the week after that and that's good in

816
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: the odd weeks. So it's it's just he's like a

817
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: spot starter in a flex position, and it's only if

818
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: you're desperate. He's he's a he's a bench guy most

819
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: of the time. All Right. I probably asked myself if

820
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: I owned Miles Gasking, and I don't think I do

821
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: incret any of my leagues, which is great. Um, I

822
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: think I would say to myself, and I'm not starting

823
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 1: him against the Jets this week, then why have them

824
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: on roster? And I would pint exactly, You're gonna kick

825
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: the Gaskin down to the road. There you go. Um,

826
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: what do you do if let's say you started basically

827
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: any raven or dolphin and now you're in a deep

828
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: hole heading into Sunday because you know, you thought, you

829
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: know reasonably so, that there would point be points to

830
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: be had, especially from Baltimore. What do you do and

831
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: how does how does this change how you work your

832
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: lineup going into the weekend. You gotta hit the stack pipe.

833
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: You gotta pair a quarterback with a wide receiver or

834
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: two and it's hard to do to find, but hey,

835
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: go back to that Saints matchup. You can find Trevor

836
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: Simeon most likely on the waiver wire, or Marquez Callaway,

837
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: Yonte Harris, Trey Kuan Smith. It's a great matchup on

838
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: paper for quarterbacks and wide receivers, but you got you

839
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: gotta load up on one team and just hope they

840
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: go off, and the Saints are a great candidate to

841
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: do so. I just feel bad for people who started

842
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: Mike Gasicki in a League seven. Guillotine league specifically, though, yeah,

843
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: no kidding that that is setting up for a chop

844
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: right there, and that that is very very tricky. Speaking

845
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: guilloteam leagues, we are still making new guillotine leagues even now.

853
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: Welcome to our number two Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm Paul

854
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 1: Scharchi and quarantined at home recovering from COVID. I'm much better,

855
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: thank you. My co hosts are in studio. They sound great.

856
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,720
Speaker 1: I sound like garbage, that is Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson.

857
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: Hello guys, Hello. This is a segment we call three

858
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: off questions and it begins with this tough question number one.

859
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: Is Patrick Mahomes still the best Dynasty or Empire quarterback?

860
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: Begin with Matt Harrison? Are you talking about Patty Ice?

861
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 1: Patty Ice? About Patrick Mahomes? I think Patrick's Yeah, That's

862
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. It was a joke. I'm glad

863
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: you got it. It just took me a little while. Um,

864
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: I still think he is the best dynasty quarterback. What's

865
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,879
Speaker 1: more likely to happen here? In five years we're looking

866
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: back on this season as the one rough patch in

867
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: mahomes career, a rough patch that, by the way, still

868
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: has him averaging two yards and two point two touchdowns

869
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: per game. Or in five years, are we looking at

870
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: this and going wow, that was the beginning of the end.

871
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: I don't think so. He's still got the best arm

872
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 1: in the league. And the other options are Josh Allen,

873
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: who isn't currently matching mahomes output in his down year,

874
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, whose fantasy value is tied up in his legs.

875
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: And we've seen a lot of running quarterbacks have their

876
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: careers derailed after one knee or ankle injury Kyler air Bear.

877
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna stick with Patty Ice. He's still number

878
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: one in my book. Alright, Brian, Is Patrick Mahomes still

879
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: the best Dynasty or Empire quarterback? No, I got him

880
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: number two on my list right now. And despite the

881
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: poor performance on Thursday Night from Lamar Jackson, he is

882
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: my answer Dynasty. Of course, you want to look towards

883
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: the future a little bit. L Jacks is one and

884
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 1: a half years younger than Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson.

885
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: The rushing upside insane. The floor keeps him very safe,

886
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: and he can throw and he's still just scratching the

887
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: surface of his throwing ability. In my opinion, I think

888
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: we might have seen the peak of Patrick Mahomes, not

889
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: saying he can't get back there and say at that level,

890
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: but Lamar Jackson, we haven't seen. The best is still

891
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: yet to come. And you have to look at the

892
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: weapons tied to each of these guys, Tyreek Kill, Travis Kelsey.

893
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: Their average age is about thirty years old. For L Jacks,

894
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 1: he's got Mark Andrews, Hollywood Brown and Rashad Master Bateman,

895
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: Um Andrews Just Hollywood in June and Bateman in a

896
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: few weeks. I don't sure. I'm pretty sure you can.

897
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: Why not like Master Will Smith? Master p Yeah, obviously, Okay.

898
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 1: I agonized over my own question. This is the toughest

899
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: question of three tough questions this year. I changed my

900
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: answer three times. Um the contenders were who you've mentioned,

901
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: Josh Al Lamar Jackson. I also I also looked into

902
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and Justin air Bear as possibilities as well,

903
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: but ultimately I threw them out because they don't have

904
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 1: They're not reliable rushers, despiting reliable passers and the rushing

905
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,720
Speaker 1: upside that Alan and Jackson give you into a lesser extent.

906
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes is just it just is so big. So then

907
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: I tried to delineate Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Patrick

908
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: Mahomes algorithmically, and here's how close it is statistically between

909
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,280
Speaker 1: these three guys over the past three years. J Baxon

910
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: has the most Fantasy points over the past three years,

911
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: Mahomes has the most highest finishes of those three, and

912
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: over the past two years, Allen leads both categories. He's

913
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: been better than either one of them across the last

914
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: two seasons. So where does that end up leaving you

915
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: for a while, I was on Allen Um but ultimately

916
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:30,280
Speaker 1: finished on Lamar Jackson because of the intentional, consistent rushing

917
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: providing a floor and the fact that you've got the

918
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 1: passing upside and it was so close, and I agonized

919
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: on this so long. In a rare turn for three

920
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: tough questions, maybe the first ever and maybe it's just

921
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 1: the COVID talking no wrong answers this week between Alan

922
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: Jackson and Mahomes. I think you can go with any

923
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: of those three. Consider Alan Jackson, Like, if you can

924
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 1: start Alan Jackson country Western star, that would be great.

925
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: I don't think he's probably a Western star anyways. Western

926
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: even the thing anymore. We like both kind of types

927
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:06,760
Speaker 1: of music, country and western and Western. Tough question number two.

928
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: Once Odell Beckham makes the Rams active roster, will he

929
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 1: be a wide receiver one for fantasy not on his team?

930
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: A wide receiver one wide receiver to flex or bench?

931
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: For this one, we begin with Brian Johnson. Um, it's

932
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one extreme or the other. I feel

933
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: like either a wide receiver one or a bench. I

934
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, Cooper Cup is just a target

935
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: Hog and understandably so, Robert Woods very established receiver in

936
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: that offense. It's gonna take some time for Odell Beckham

937
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: to get up to speed. Of course, Van Jefferson still

938
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: gonna mix in a little bit. Tyler Higbee a very

939
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: active part of that passing game. So once he is activated,

940
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 1: I am putting him on my bench until I can

941
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: see that he actually produces. But I don't see a

942
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: huge target shared percentage for Odell Beckham, So he he's

943
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: a bench for me until further notice, Matt. Once Ode

944
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 1: Beckham makes the active roster, will he be a wide receiver?

945
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: One wide receiver to flex or bench? He probably doesn't

946
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: play this week, and next week's the rams By, so

947
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play next week for sure. Um. Over

948
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: the last three years, by the way, Beckham has averaged

949
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: seven point two targets per game, and no player has

950
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: done less with seven targets per game than Beckham. He's

951
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: averaging three point nine catches, fifty four yards and a

952
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 1: quarter of a touchdown per game in PPR. That's about

953
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: ten points per game. And then you look at the targets.

954
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is averaging eleven point four targets Robert Woods

955
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 1: is averaging seven points six, Both Van Jefferson and Tyler

956
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: Higbee are average, averaging just over five, and the other

957
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: receivers and Darryl Henderson add up to about six targets

958
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: per game. So where do Beckham's targets come from. Let's

959
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: give him the two from DeShawn Jackson and maybe give

960
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: him half of what Van Jefferson's getting. So I don't

961
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: think he takes anything from Woods or Cup, so he's

962
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: probably a five target maybe six targets per game guy.

963
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: So I think we're looking at a lot of three

964
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: catch forty yard games from Beckham. So he's gonna be

965
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: a bench guy. But I did pick him up in

966
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 1: a league where he was available, and I'm hoping I'm wrong.

967
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: The correct answer is in fact bench for many of

968
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: the reasons you outlined. You know, remember that Rams just

969
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: had a depth wide receiver and the comparatively even keeled

970
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: DeShawn Jackson quit the team because he didn't like his

971
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 1: role behind Woods and Cup, and you figure, like you said,

972
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: there's gonna be it's probably three weeks out before he

973
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 1: ends up with any meaningful action on this team. That's

974
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: a long time to get through and you also have

975
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 1: to figure you know, not only is there Cup and

976
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: Woods when you get Higbee and Jefferson as well to

977
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 1: contend with catches and frankly, the team's commitment to the

978
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: growth of Van Jefferson is far higher than its commitment

979
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: to Beckham. And we'll Beckham have some impact games and moments, sure,

980
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: probably a couple, but they'll be surrounded by to catch

981
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: performances that are gonna sink your team, and you're not

982
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 1: gonna know when they're coming. The correct answer is bench tough.

983
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 1: Question number three, what's the appropriate level of concern for

984
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin some or a Bowle loosening level of existential

985
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 1: dread Matt Uh Terry is still averaging nine and a

986
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: half targets per game. Charch really likes to pick on

987
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: the players who just had a bye week. By the way,

988
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,399
Speaker 1: because it was only two games ago that Terry went

989
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: for seven catches, a d and twenty two yards and

990
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: a score against Green Bay. But it was three weeks ago,

991
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: so now we feel so far away from such a

992
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: good game for McLaurin. Yeah, he's had a few down games,

993
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 1: including his last one against one of the best secondaries

994
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: in the league, that's the Denver Broncos. But this week

995
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 1: he gets the Bucks. That's a plus matchup, and as

996
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: soon as hit next week he might be getting his

997
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: starting quarterback back. That's right, Stu Beard is on the horizon.

998
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: So I'm going to say no concern about Terry McLaurin. Brian,

999
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: what's the appropriate level of concern for Terry McLaurin, none,

1000
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: some or blowed? I pretty much have nothing to add.

1001
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: I am in full agreement with Matt. I have no

1002
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 1: concern for Terry McLarin He's gone from being a consistent

1003
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 1: matchup proof contributor to being an all or nothing player

1004
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 1: with three massive dug games in his last four. It's

1005
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: not a battler of talent. His talent is not in question,

1006
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 1: but his quarterbacks talent is in plenty of question. Opponents

1007
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 1: have broken the code on Taylor Heineke, and it did

1008
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: not require an Enigma machine. He's always been a marginal

1009
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 1: passing talent who was meant to be a backup. He's

1010
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: averaging zero point seven five three quarters of one touchdown

1011
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 1: pass per game over the last month. That's it, and

1012
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: defenses know that if you take McLaren away, that virtually

1013
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 1: eliminates the entire Washington passing attack because there's aren't enough

1014
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: other good receivers on this team. Curtis Samuel still out

1015
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 1: and probably remains out for a while. And further bad

1016
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: news comes from this week's revelation that might be Love

1017
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: Stupid isn't close to returning. He's probably two, three, four

1018
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: weeks away from returning. Wide receiver talent isn't always enough

1019
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: when everything else is going wrong. Look at Alan Robinson

1020
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 1: is a case in point, a fantastic top ten level

1021
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: talent at wide receiver who's virtually unrosterable for fantasy purposes

1022
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: because everything else is wrong around him. Terry McLaurin is

1023
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: almost in that spot, not quite, and that's why it's

1024
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: only some level of concern. Church. I want you to

1025
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: tell me more about an Enigma machine. You're not familiar

1026
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: with the Enigma machine, which the British Secret Service used

1027
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: to break the the German codes in World War Two. No,

1028
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: tell me more. Let's let's just dedicate the rest of

1029
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 1: the show to that. I would love, I'd love to

1030
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:55,800
Speaker 1: tell you more. You know the Germans had used encrypted

1031
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: communications that used a typewriter like machine that had daily

1032
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: codes in it, and you had to set a bunch

1033
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: of dials with the daily code, and if you didn't

1034
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: know the daily code, it was basically unhackable until the

1035
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 1: British Secret Service found a German submarine was able to

1036
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: retrieve the Enigma machine and then build effectively the world's

1037
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 1: first computer, which could then just through through raw iteration,

1038
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: was able to crack the codes of the German communications

1039
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: and effectively ended up winning the war in no small

1040
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: part because they knew most of what the Germans were

1041
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: talking about. It's a fascinating story and one that was

1042
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: was only declassified about ten years ago, and it sounds

1043
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 1: like this, that is the Enigma machine working right there.

1044
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,240
Speaker 1: Panthers take on the Cardinals. Matt, We've got a quarterback

1045
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: change for the Panthers that probably does not well. I mean,

1046
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 1: all the quarterbacks are bad. Yeah, So Sam Donald not

1047
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: going to play this week, leaving p J. Walker at

1048
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: the Helm and then Cam Newton signed there this week.

1049
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,400
Speaker 1: But remember Newton hasn't played for this coaching staff before,

1050
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 1: so he's probably gonna need some time to get up

1051
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 1: to speed on the playbook and to read that Passing

1052
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: for Dummies book that he picked up last week. Yeah,

1053
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 1: it's gonna be weird. Walker had a start last year

1054
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: against the Lions where he managed to fifty eight in

1055
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: a score that would be his ceiling here, and I

1056
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 1: think by a lot. Arizona is allowing only two or

1057
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 1: twenty five yards per game, just over one passing score

1058
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: per game. By the way, the Panthers are going to

1059
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: be missing center Matt Paradise and left tackle Cam Irving

1060
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 1: both out of this game, so that's not good for

1061
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 1: Walker either. I will give Dj Moore I start, but

1062
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm only giving him a C grade. I don't trust

1063
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: Walker at all, so that's why Moore's downgraded all the

1064
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: way to a SEA. But he does get to line

1065
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 1: up against Marco Wilson most often, and he's allowed to

1066
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 1: pass the rating of one in his coverage, including four touchdowns.

1067
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: The only other Panther you should really think about is

1068
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, who saw eighteen touches last week in his

1069
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 1: first game since Week three now. He faced a really

1070
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,720
Speaker 1: good Patriots defense and managed a hundred and six total

1071
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: yards and was on the field for only twenty nine snaps,

1072
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: which was their play so half of the plays. But

1073
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: he was handed the ball or targeted nineteen times out

1074
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 1: of those, so that's like two thirds. So I think

1075
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 1: they're going to ramp him up another ten or so

1076
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: snaps this week, so he'll probably be in the twenty

1077
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: three range for touches. And he's an A grade because

1078
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: the Cards have been mostly good against the position. But

1079
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: if you top twenty touches, you have a good day

1080
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: against Arizona. Dalvin James Robinson, Darrell Henderson, Aaron Jones all

1081
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: had great Fantasy days when they topped twenty touches. Kyler

1082
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 1: and Hopkins both have not practiced yet this week. In fact,

1083
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,479
Speaker 1: the Cards have the Seahawks next week and then there

1084
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: by after that, so it's very feasible that they could

1085
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: rest both Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins until after they're

1086
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: by s. Murray is going to be a game time decision.

1087
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: Did get some light practice in on Friday. UM. Hopkins

1088
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 1: didn't practice all week and we can pretty much assume

1089
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:05,919
Speaker 1: he is not gonna go. Yeah, and A J. Green

1090
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: also landed on the COVID list last week and didn't play.

1091
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 1: He's very iffy for this week. UM. Without Green and Hopkins,

1092
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: it was Christian Kirk leading the way, catching all six

1093
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 1: of his Colt McCoy targets for nine one yards. Ron

1094
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: Dale Moore and Antoine Wesley were both on the field

1095
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: for over of the snaps, but they can't really be trusted.

1096
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: So it's Kirk getting the C grade. UH. Colt McCoy

1097
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: probably starts, we're thinking, so let's leave the rest of

1098
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 1: the passing game on the bench. Caroline has been pretty

1099
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 1: good against the past the fifth fewest passing yards allowed

1100
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: at per game, and either a not very healthy Kyler

1101
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: or Colt McCoy as the quarterback, that doesn't make it good. Uh.

1102
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz was on the field for eight of the

1103
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: snaps last week and only had five targets. The targets

1104
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 1: just weren't that good with McCoy under center, and the

1105
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 1: Panthers are only allowing four catches and forty two yards

1106
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: per game to the position Kyler or Hopkins end up playing.

1107
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: I'll give them both SEA grades and you could bump

1108
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: Art's up to a see if Kyler does go now

1109
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds he is out for this one and might

1110
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: be out for a couple more weeks with a high

1111
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: ankle sprain. James Conner has seen his fantasy value hit

1112
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: its second wind after one seventy three total yards and

1113
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: three scores last week against the Niners. It's the most

1114
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: bell Cowie he's ever been. Worth noting that, you know,

1115
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 1: Benjamin did see nine carries in a score, and I

1116
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: think he fills the Edmunds role. Connor probably looking at

1117
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: fifteen touches in this game, which is probably the minimum.

1118
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 1: And four of the five running backs who've seen fifteen

1119
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: touches against the Panthers this year, well they've scored, So

1120
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: Connor gets a B grade. Yeah, Connor has been an

1121
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: awfully reliable touchdown score, which is which is fantastic. You know,

1122
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: if Murray doesn't go or does play on this ankle,

1123
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 1: you know, the running game hasn't been a factor for

1124
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: him really since very early in the season anyway, and

1125
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe even hobble. He ends up with

1126
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 1: a decent game here when come back. We'll continue breaking

1127
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: down games, including Tampa Bay taking on Washington and what

1128
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: feels like a very one sided game. We'll tell you

1129
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: what do you expect from a Washington offense, That Washington

1130
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: offense that um needs to have a bounced back game,

1131
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: and Antonio Gibson owners in a panic right now. We'll

1132
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: tell you what to expect from him when we come back.

1133
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, the Covid edition, Cult Charichy

1134
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: and you're working from home. While you're at home, you

1135
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: can draft a new Guillotine League team of your very own.

1136
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: There's still plenty of time. We're probably at like the

1137
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: halfway point of the season. Still plenty of time left

1138
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: to get in on the hottest new format and fantasy sports.

1139
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,439
Speaker 1: As you probably already know, instead of playing head to head,

1140
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: the lowest scoring team gets chopped. All their players go

1141
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 1: to the averwire, where you get to build a superstar

1142
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 1: roster over the course of the season. All you have

1143
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 1: to do is not finished last. In any given week,

1144
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 1: the last team standing wins the whole thing. New leagues

1145
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: forming at Guillotine and leagues dot Com. Plenty more matchups

1146
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 1: to get to, including Tampa Bay taking on Washington. Tampa

1147
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 1: will be without some key cogs here. Antonio Brown is

1148
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 1: out for sure, Rob Gronkowski out for sure. Chris Godwin

1149
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,920
Speaker 1: is a maybe on a bad foot, So we'll take

1150
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: that into account as we break down this game. For

1151
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 1: Brady and Evans, they're obvious a's and the only thing

1152
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna mention for Evans is just how safe he

1153
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 1: becomes when Antonio Brown is out, because the averages eight

1154
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 1: targets in non Brown games and his average game when

1155
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: Mike Evans gets h eight targets is ninety yards and

1156
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: one and a half touchdowns per game. So a very

1157
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 1: safe start for Mike Evans. One of my favorite receivers

1158
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 1: for the entire week. Now, if Chris Godwin we're healthy,

1159
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: I'd be giving him an A grade against a terrible secondary.

1160
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: But on the bad foot, if he does play, I'm

1161
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 1: gonna lower him down to a B grade just to

1162
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: take into account the injury in the prospect of him

1163
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 1: maybe not finishing the game. And then my take a

1164
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 1: chance on me wide receiver was Tyler Johnson, as you

1165
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: may recall, and he is somebody you can use in

1166
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 1: a pinch if needed. Let's talk about O. J. Howard

1167
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,760
Speaker 1: and Cameron brad I'm inclined to give them the C

1168
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 1: dark harpoon here because it's no, it's not it's a

1169
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 1: C grade. It's a it's C. It's it's not a

1170
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: C minus dart, it's a C dark. Both guys have

1171
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 1: split snaps evenly in the games, Rob Gronkowski has missed

1172
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: and Washington has allowed the fourth most tight end yards,

1173
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 1: So you could try one of those two guys, but

1174
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: really it is a true dart throw between the two

1175
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 1: of them. Let's go to the Washington side. Washington's offensive

1176
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: line should get Brandon Sheriff back and Sam caused me

1177
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 1: back after they return to practice this week. That helps

1178
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 1: a bit, but I'm still really down on a lot

1179
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 1: of this Washington offense, and especially Antonio Gibson. He's still

1180
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 1: got the he still got the stress fracture in his

1181
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: leg that's probably gonna be there through the end of

1182
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: the season. Even coming off the bye week, Tampa See's

1183
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 1: the fewest rushing attempts and allows the second fewest rushing

1184
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: yards and only three point eight yards per carry. Gibson

1185
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 1: hasn't topped sixty three rushing yards since way back in

1186
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 1: Week two, and he doesn't catch, which is a major

1187
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 1: problem if you think Tom Brady is gonna stake his

1188
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: team to a big lead, which is very likely here.

1189
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 1: Gibson not notched just thirty five scoreless yards despite getting

1190
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: sixteen touches when these two teams met in the Wild

1191
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: Cowd Round last season. So for the first time this year,

1192
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm giving Antonio Gibson a straight up bench grade, which

1193
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 1: is something. It's funny you say that, Matt, because when

1194
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: I when I put him into the bench grade usually

1195
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 1: on talent. I will not put guys into the bench

1196
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: as willingly as you did. And I thought to myself,

1197
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 1: this is a very Matt Harrison move, right, thank you

1198
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 1: putting the bench grade on Antonio Gibson. Let's go to

1199
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: the passing game. Taylor Heineke is also on the bench.

1200
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 1: The Bucks secondary is expected to get back Carlton Davis

1201
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 1: and Sean Murphy. Bunting is a game time decision, and

1202
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 1: they've already got Jamal Dean, who is Pro Football Focus

1203
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: is fourth ranked corner and they'd actually played well even

1204
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 1: with the backups over the last three weeks. Anyway, get this,

1205
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks, opposing quarterbacks are averaging one

1206
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: hundred forty passing yards per game. That's it against the Bucks.

1207
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 1: So Heinek squarely on the bench. I have a wobbly

1208
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: C grade on Terry McLaurin, who we talked about earlier,

1209
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: and we already detailed a lot of his concerns um

1210
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 1: the return to the health for the Bucks secondary is

1211
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 1: a problem. So is the is the fact that no

1212
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 1: opposing receivers top sixty yards sixty yards in three weeks.

1213
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: And I mentioned earlier McLaren has been all boom or bust.

1214
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 1: This game's got bus written all over it. So if

1215
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: it's got to go one way or the other, I'm

1216
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: very nervous about this being a bus grade. Fro mclarence,

1217
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 1: and just to see grade for him, Ricky Seals Jones

1218
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: gets a C grade only because it's a tight end

1219
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 1: position in a bye week Logan Thomas is going to

1220
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 1: miss another game. Seals bombed in his last game, but

1221
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: he was averaging fifty yards per game in the three

1222
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: games before that. The Bucks are the middle of the

1223
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: road uh tight end defense, So if you're in a pinch,

1224
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 1: you could still use Ricky Seals Jones unprojected volume, which

1225
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 1: could be helpful there. I've got J. D. Mckissic on

1226
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 1: the bench as well. Tampa allows the fifth most receptions

1227
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 1: in the twelfth most receiving yards to opposing tight ends.

1228
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 1: UH sorry, posing running backs through the air. But Miles

1229
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 1: Gaskin is a single handled responsible for one fifth of

1230
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: those receptions and tampas allowed really very little to other backs,

1231
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 1: and McKissick accounted for just thirteen yards when these teams

1232
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: met in the playoffs. Last year's sign also held him

1233
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: with a passion too. You know, I really don't, but

1234
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm off mckissic, so I'm I'm keeping him

1235
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: on the bench as well. You were never on kiss No,

1236
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 1: you called him j D mcs suck it for an

1237
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:00,720
Speaker 1: entire year while half of see is in last year

1238
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 1: and then he hearned his way off of that nickname

1239
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: and I had to eat crow and I did. But

1240
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: he's back on the bench and he's back to being Jadmon.

1241
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:12,919
Speaker 1: There's the crow, butte the last Yeah. Perfect. Let's talk

1242
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: Eagles taking on the Broncos. Brian. You know, despite being

1243
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: a very wobbly passer, Jalen Hurts finds his way two

1244
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 1: good matchups most of the time. But man, this is

1245
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: a tough one and I'm nervous about him in this

1246
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: matchup against the Broncos. What do you think? I'm nervous too,

1247
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: But I'm still gonna give him a b. He just

1248
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 1: seems to come through weekend week out despite the matchup.

1249
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: And it's all really about the rushing upside and the

1250
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: safe looor it gives him. Denver did hold Lamar Jackson

1251
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: and Check on the ground, but that was back in

1252
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 1: Week four with basically an entire different defense. So I'm

1253
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: still giving Hurts a b here. I do like the

1254
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,360
Speaker 1: matchup for his wide receiver Davante Smith, going to give

1255
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 1: him a b uh. Denver will be missing starting quarterbacks

1256
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 1: Patrick Sartan and Bryce Callahan, which is all I need

1257
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,439
Speaker 1: to start Smith with confidence. Denver as all so given

1258
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 1: up big games two similar downfield threats like Hollywood Brown,

1259
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 1: Henry Rugs, and Deonte Johnson, each holding any touchdown of

1260
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: at least forty eight yards. We're not going to discuss

1261
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 1: Jalen Reagor or Quiz Watkins in any detail. They're both

1262
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 1: on the bench though, and just to see for Dallas

1263
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 1: Goddard from me the Broncos. The Broncos are one of

1264
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: three teams that hasn't allowed a tight end to score

1265
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 1: this season, and on top of that, Denver has held

1266
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 1: all but three tight ends to two receptions or less.

1267
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 1: So ce for Goddard and lastly, the running backs. Jordan

1268
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: Howard appears to be the lead back in Philly despite

1269
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 1: getting out snapped by Boston Scott. He led Philly last

1270
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: week and carries with seventeen, had seventy one yards and

1271
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: a touchdown. But this is a brutal matchup for Howard

1272
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: and still Scott's can eat into his work. Kenneth Gainwell

1273
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 1: will probably take a lot of the passing work. So

1274
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 1: all the Eagles backs are on the bench. Now over

1275
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 1: to the Broncos side and starting with their running backs,

1276
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: and we gotta talk about Javon Williams. Javonte Williams. Excuse me,

1277
01:07:56,320 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 1: he gets a B which stands for better than Melvin Gordon. Uh,

1278
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 1: listen to this stat and this all this is all

1279
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 1: credit to Pro Football Focus, but I gotta pass it along.

1280
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 1: Javante Williams is tied with Nick Chubb with the most

1281
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 1: forced mis tackles with thirty five on the year. Williams

1282
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 1: has done it on less touches. In fact, Williams leads

1283
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 1: the NFL with a thirty seven percent forced miss tackle rate.

1284
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,800
Speaker 1: Nobody else is above thirty percent right now, and since

1285
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and six, only Marshawn Lynch and Nick Chubb

1286
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 1: a few years ago finished with a miss tackle rate

1287
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 1: above thirty percent. In the last fifteen years, and Javontay

1288
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 1: Williams at thirty seven percent right now he needs more work.

1289
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 1: Philly is top twelve in the most fantasy points allowed

1290
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 1: to running backs. Unfortunately, Melvin Melvin Gordon still getting a

1291
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 1: ton of carry, so he gets a C in this

1292
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 1: this matchup, but B for Williams and we just hope

1293
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 1: his touches will increase as well they we get later

1294
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:50,600
Speaker 1: into the season. UH. To the wide receivers for the Broncos,

1295
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 1: just to see. For Jerry Judy, I'd still start him,

1296
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 1: but I temper expectations. The Eagles are allowing just eleven

1297
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: catches on thirty three yards per game to a moosing

1298
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 1: wide receivers, and over their last UH four games, just

1299
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: one wide receiver has scored in topped sixty yards and

1300
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:09,640
Speaker 1: they weren't the same player. And for that reason, I

1301
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 1: put Courtland Sutton on the bench. Just six targets over

1302
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 1: the last two games. With Jared Judy back in the lineup,

1303
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:19,799
Speaker 1: Judy has doubled up that target total, unlike Jean Claude

1304
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 1: Van Damn. The splits are not good here for Courtland Sutton,

1305
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: so he's on the bench for me. UH Noah Fant

1306
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 1: is not though, can give him a B. Philly has

1307
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 1: allowed the most tight end receptions and touchdowns to the

1308
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,679
Speaker 1: position this year, and last week against the Eagles, three

1309
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:38,679
Speaker 1: different Chargers tight ends finished inside the top twenty Two

1310
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 1: of them finished inside the top five, and neither was

1311
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 1: Jared Cook. It was Steven Anderson and Donald Parham. So

1312
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 1: I like Fant a lot. Here're gonna give him a B.

1313
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 1: But Teddy B is on the bench. For me, this

1314
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 1: game is going to be all about the running backs

1315
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: with a little fan sprinkled in so Bridgewater on the bench.

1316
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:57,640
Speaker 1: That all makes sense to me. Seahawks take on the

1317
01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 1: Packers Matt and for the se Hawks they're going to

1318
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 1: be without Chris Carson's we have some clarity on that.

1319
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 1: Looks like it will be an Alex Collins start again.

1320
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 1: But for the first time for Collins, he gets to

1321
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 1: play in a Russell Wilson led offense, and I think

1322
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: that gives him some some sneaky upside in this game.

1323
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: And I think there's an opportunity for Alex Collins to

1324
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 1: be a guy that you could potentially start here. What

1325
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: do you think? Yeah, I will note that Alex Collins

1326
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:27,839
Speaker 1: is dealing with a groin injury and he's been limited

1327
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 1: in practice all week. He will go if he does,

1328
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 1: He's probably a workhorse here. Since Carson went down with

1329
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: the injury, Collins has seen fifteen or more carries in

1330
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 1: three or four games. The one he didn't was a

1331
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 1: blowout win against the Jaguars where they really didn't need him.

1332
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 1: The Packers have been a middle of the pack UH

1333
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 1: team against opposing runners, although they have allowed the seventh

1334
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:51,839
Speaker 1: most touchdowns to opposing backs and gave up three rushing

1335
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: scores to the Arizona Backs just two weeks ago. So

1336
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 1: I like Alex Collins with a B grade. In this one.

1337
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 1: You mentioned Russell Wilson coming back with his from his

1338
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:03,599
Speaker 1: finger injury. UH. He has to go to Lambeau, which

1339
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 1: is kind of a home coming since he played a

1340
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 1: year at Wisconsin UH and faced the Packers defense that

1341
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:13,719
Speaker 1: hasn't really missed Jaire Alexander at all. They've held five

1342
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 1: of the last six quarterbacks they've faced to one or

1343
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 1: zero touchdown passes, and that list includes Patrick Mahomes and

1344
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:24,080
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray in it. So no quarterback has topped three

1345
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:27,879
Speaker 1: yards against Green Bay since Week seven of last season

1346
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: when Deshaun Watson did it. And however, Jaire is still out.

1347
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 1: Eric Stokes, who's kind of his backup, is dealing with

1348
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 1: a knee injury. He's looking doubtful. Isaac Yaya Doom is

1349
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 1: on the COVID list. Thank you, Aaron Rodgers. So Kevin

1350
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:49,799
Speaker 1: King has entered the chat and should get extensive snaps

1351
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 1: this week. So I was gonna give Wilson a C grade,

1352
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:54,799
Speaker 1: but I bumped him up to a B based solely

1353
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:57,200
Speaker 1: on Kevin King being on the field for fifty snaps.

1354
01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 1: King plays the right side of the field and DK

1355
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 1: Metcalf runs over half his routes on the offensive left

1356
01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:06,879
Speaker 1: side of the field, so he gets an A grade.

1357
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 1: King has allowed a passer rating of one thirty two

1358
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 1: in his coverage. Even when DK flexes into the slot,

1359
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 1: he'll see Shandon Sullivan, who has been slightly blow average.

1360
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm only gonna give Tyler Lockett a C grade, though

1361
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 1: he lines up about equal time from the slot and

1362
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 1: the right, where he'll face off against green Bay's best

1363
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 1: corner that's Russell Douglas, who's been pretty good since he

1364
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 1: signed in green Bay. On the other side, Aaron Jones

1365
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:34,640
Speaker 1: gets an A and I already talked up A. J.

1366
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 1: Dillon as might take a chance on me runner. I

1367
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 1: will just mention that opposing running backs have have been

1368
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:43,760
Speaker 1: averaging thirty three touches per game against Seattle. That's a lot,

1369
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:45,679
Speaker 1: and that's the second most in the league, so there's

1370
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 1: plenty to go around here. Davante Adams gets an A grade.

1371
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 1: On the assumption that Aaron Rodgers will be starting. I'll

1372
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 1: drop him to a B if we get a Jordan's

1373
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: love game, but let's talk about it as a Roger start.

1374
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 1: He gets a B grade. The Seahawks have been better

1375
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 1: against the past as of late, allowing only one touchdown

1376
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: past to Matthew Stafford, Big Ben, Jamis Winston and Trevor

1377
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 1: Lawrence each over the last four games. But on pure emotion,

1378
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:13,600
Speaker 1: where Rogers has been the villain and much of the

1379
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 1: national media over the last two weeks, you know he's

1380
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 1: gonna come out with that, I'm gonna show you all attitude.

1381
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:23,759
Speaker 1: So Rogers gets the B grade here. Um Randall Cobb,

1382
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a C grade, by the way,

1383
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna talk more about Cobb next segment. But

1384
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,719
Speaker 1: I will mention that Cobb will line up against slot

1385
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:33,680
Speaker 1: corner Ugo Amadi for most of his snaps and a

1386
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 1: Madi is a fill in and was targeted twelve times

1387
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 1: by Trevor Lawrence and his only start and is currently

1388
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 1: ranked as Pro Football focuses one sixty four ranked cornerback.

1389
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: But more really good Randall Cobbs stuff coming up next?

1390
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: Thing right, Yeah, I see you. You and I are

1391
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,599
Speaker 1: on the other side on on on Randall Cobb by

1392
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 1: a fair margin. I'll turn you around. Maybe maybe it'll

1393
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 1: be tough because when all when all the receivers are healthy,

1394
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 1: he feels like the law. He feels like he's lost,

1395
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:02,799
Speaker 1: which he was through the first half of the season

1396
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 1: when Lazard was healthy and Adams was there and MBS

1397
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 1: was there, it felt very unreliable for me, the Cob

1398
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:14,680
Speaker 1: man out man. Uh. You will get to hear more

1399
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 1: about Randall cob when you come back to premature speculation,

1400
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 1: which apparently is going to involve Randall Cob everything. I'm

1401
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 1: just just launch uh. And you'll also get too other

1402
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:26,920
Speaker 1: guys you could potentially pick up off the waiver wire

1403
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 1: this week when everybody else is trying to pick up them.

1404
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:31,960
Speaker 1: Next week, find out who they are when we returned

1405
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Football Weekly. Final segment Fantasy Football Weekly, the

1406
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 1: COVID edition, Paul charging with you. I'm the COVID guy,

1407
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: which is why I am at home. My cohorts Matt

1408
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: Harrison and Brian Johnson are in the stud video. You

1409
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 1: can follow them on Twitter, where it's technically impossible to

1410
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 1: get COVID via Twitter. I believe at explosive output for

1411
01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:11,360
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison at bt X J for Brian Johnson, and

1412
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,680
Speaker 1: I am at Paul Charchia. This is a segment we

1413
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 1: like to call premature speculation. We're going to give you

1414
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 1: three players to pick up this week that people will

1415
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 1: be trying to pick up next week. We begin with

1416
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:29,599
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson, who is your player willing with Washington tight

1417
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 1: end Logan Thomas, who was supposed to make his return

1418
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: this week, but he is not so most people have

1419
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 1: dumped him back on the waiver wire. He's right around

1420
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 1: rostered on in Yahoo leagues. And the reason I'm recommending Thomas,

1421
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:41,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a great player and he should be

1422
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:46,280
Speaker 1: back soon, but between uh week eleven and week seventeen,

1423
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 1: which unfortunately, Week seventeen is now a viable Fantasy Week.

1424
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 1: It's when most championships will be held. Thomas gets to

1425
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,479
Speaker 1: face the Eagles twice, who I mentioned in the last segment,

1426
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: or just getting absolutely shredded by opposing tight ends allowing

1427
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 1: more than seven catches, sixty six yards and nearly one

1428
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 1: touchdown a game. So logan Thomas could be a league

1429
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:07,599
Speaker 1: winner at tight end for you if you go grab

1430
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 1: him right me out? Yeah? All right, Matt, who is

1431
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 1: your premature speculation player, Marquez? No Randall Cobb. He took

1432
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:24,000
Speaker 1: a little the drama. Um. The Packers did not sign

1433
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. As many thought they would, but many

1434
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 1: don't know that Randall Cobb has eight targets already this

1435
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 1: year inside the ten yard line, which is thirty three

1436
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:40,639
Speaker 1: of the team total. They're targeting him near the end zone,

1437
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 1: and with Robert Tonyan gone, he had six already this year,

1438
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 1: So there's vacated infrared zone targets since since Tonyon went down.

1439
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 1: Cobb has seen five red zone targets from the twenty

1440
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,639
Speaker 1: yard line in UH in those two games, and Davante

1441
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:02,640
Speaker 1: Adams did not have one in that span. So I

1442
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:05,679
Speaker 1: think that we should probably think about these vacated infrared

1443
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: zone targets, and Cobb's gonna make more noise than you

1444
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 1: think on the way out. No, you're right, it's more

1445
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 1: more more noise than I think. You're correct about that.

1446
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm going with Jets backup quarterbacks, quasi starting quarterback Mike White,

1447
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:20,880
Speaker 1: who will probably get handled by the Bills this week.

1448
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 1: But this is a forward looking segment, and if we

1449
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 1: look forward to the schedule, he's got Miami and Houston

1450
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:31,600
Speaker 1: coming up the next two weeks, and that's a possibility

1451
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 1: for him to look good and perhaps cement this job. Now,

1452
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson could end up coming back over this time frame.

1453
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 1: But what if Mike White looks good, continues to look good,

1454
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 1: then what do they do? I could potentially keep starting him. Um,

1455
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 1: you already know he's been shockingly good in relief of

1456
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:51,160
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson. And you know, again, with Miami and Houston

1457
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 1: coming up, maybe he makes a little noise here and

1458
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 1: keeps the job and continues to look very good. Charge

1459
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 1: that's ludicrous. It might be Zack Wilson's gonna start as

1460
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:05,360
Speaker 1: soon as he's had. The Jets aren't going for a

1461
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:08,200
Speaker 1: playoff spot. Come on, They're going to start their second

1462
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 1: overall pick. That's absolutely I don't think it's nearly as

1463
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:15,439
Speaker 1: sure thing as you believe it is. Let's go to

1464
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:18,679
Speaker 1: the Falcons taking on the Cowboys, and let's start with

1465
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 1: the one of the most shocking developments in the history

1466
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: of fantasy football, Corderold Patterson's season. He gets an A

1467
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 1: grade in this particular matchup. After not allowing a sixty

1468
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 1: yard rusher through the first five games, Dallas is now

1469
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:33,920
Speaker 1: allowed four of them in the last three weeks alone.

1470
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:38,600
Speaker 1: They are Pro Football Focus is third worst run defending

1471
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 1: and tackling unit, and Patterson's actually thirteenth among running backs

1472
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 1: quote running backs in yards after contact at two point oh.

1473
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:50,559
Speaker 1: I mean for it, converted wide out playing running back.

1474
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 1: It's amazing that he's good after contact. None of Dallas's

1475
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 1: linebackers can hang with Patterson out of the backfield, and

1476
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:58,720
Speaker 1: that may be the case with their corners as well.

1477
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 1: So we're gonna can tinue to keep starting core Darrel

1478
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 1: Patterson with confidence, and I like him in this game.

1479
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:07,320
Speaker 1: Sticking with the running backs, Mike Davis is completely dead

1480
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 1: to us. He's averaging a woeful three point two yards

1481
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 1: per carry. Hasn't topped fifty three rushing yards in any

1482
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 1: game and has two touchdowns on the year. I believe

1483
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: he's straight up droppable. Matt Ryan was might take a

1484
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:23,120
Speaker 1: chance on me quarterback from earlier in the show, and

1485
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 1: he's a C grade in this game. Kyle Pitts gets

1486
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 1: a B grade, but I was really close to giving

1487
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 1: him a C grade. Let's let's talk it through here.

1488
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts continues to see deep targets. He actually leads

1489
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:37,639
Speaker 1: all tight ends in average depth of target at twelve yards,

1490
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:41,760
Speaker 1: and per Pro Football Focus, he's got the most intermediate

1491
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 1: and deep receptions among all tight ends, and over half

1492
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 1: his targets or at least ten yards down field. So

1493
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:49,720
Speaker 1: you would think with all these targets and all these

1494
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,599
Speaker 1: receptions being downfield, he'd be scoring touchdowns. But that isn't

1495
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:54,600
Speaker 1: the gate. He's got one touchdown all year. That's it

1496
01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: for Kyle Pitts. Eight eight Falcons have as many touchdowns

1497
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 1: receptions or more than Kyle Pitts has got. Which is depressing.

1498
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,799
Speaker 1: Is that the vault, that's the vulture, That the vulture,

1499
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 1: that's the vulture. Everybody's vulturing Kyle Pitts. I think you're

1500
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:15,439
Speaker 1: right Cowboys are a good tight end defense. Since getting

1501
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:17,760
Speaker 1: nuked by Gronk in the season opener, Dallas is only

1502
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: giving up a quarter of one touchdown per game to

1503
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: the position, So I got pitts on the speed grade,

1504
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,839
Speaker 1: but it's it's through what I think will be solid yardage.

1505
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:27,759
Speaker 1: But I can't give you. I can't expect a second

1506
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,880
Speaker 1: touchdown yet, not against the Cowboys. So just to b

1507
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 1: grade there, and again it was close to a seat.

1508
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:35,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Dallas. It looks like left

1509
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:37,200
Speaker 1: tackle Tyrone Smith is not going to play again, which

1510
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:40,120
Speaker 1: was a contributing factor for last week's total dud game.

1511
01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:43,000
Speaker 1: But there's a far easier matchup and I've got strong

1512
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:46,640
Speaker 1: grades on most of your key Cowboys here, including Ezekiel.

1513
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:50,400
Speaker 1: Elliott confirmed that he will play in this game. Hasn't

1514
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:52,840
Speaker 1: scored in three straight after racking up six scores in

1515
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 1: the previous month. Thankfully, Atlanta has allowed nine touchdown seventh

1516
01:20:57,360 --> 01:20:59,800
Speaker 1: most of backs this season, and I do expect him

1517
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 1: as well. They're also allowing the seventh most receptions and

1518
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:05,559
Speaker 1: receiving yards of the position, and Zeke's got at least

1519
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 1: three receptions in his last three games, so he should

1520
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,960
Speaker 1: catch some here as well. Also an A grade on Zeke,

1521
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 1: which is not a big surprise, giving it a grade

1522
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: to um Dak Prescott a probable bounce back game coming

1523
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:21,679
Speaker 1: after last week's flop against the Falcon secondary that's faced

1524
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 1: one of the weakest schedules of opposing quarterbacks. The only

1525
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:29,559
Speaker 1: DAK level passer the Falcons have faced is Tom Brady,

1526
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 1: and he threw for five touchdowns. Trevor Simeon just hit

1527
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,680
Speaker 1: these Falcons for two fifty and two, and if we

1528
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:38,759
Speaker 1: take out bottom tier pastors like Daniel Jones, Zach Wilson,

1529
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 1: and Sam Donald, the average passing game against the Falcons

1530
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 1: is two eighty yards and three and a half touchdowns

1531
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:46,559
Speaker 1: per game, which is ridiculous, and we'd certainly take three

1532
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 1: and a half touchdowns out of Dak Prescott. Ceedee Lamb

1533
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:52,280
Speaker 1: gets an A grade. I'm ignoring everything about last week's

1534
01:21:52,280 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 1: disaster for Ceedee Lamb other than the fact that he

1535
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: was targeted nine times. I'm gonna fire him up with

1536
01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 1: confidence here against this Falcons defense that I've already explained

1537
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:03,519
Speaker 1: why I think there's a great matchup for him. Mary

1538
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 1: Cooper confirmed he's gonna play as well. His many nagging

1539
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:11,479
Speaker 1: injuries have reduced him to a touchdown dependent receiver. He's

1540
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:15,799
Speaker 1: only reached seventy yards once in the past seven games,

1541
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 1: which is really disappointing for Cooper, and has only posted

1542
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 1: more than three catches twice in those seven games. But

1543
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:25,480
Speaker 1: he is scoring touchdowns and Atlanta has allowed multiple touchdowns

1544
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:28,320
Speaker 1: two receivers five different times. So if I think Lamb

1545
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 1: is gonna get one, and I do, I think Cooper

1546
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 1: gets one here as well, so he'd be grade on Cooper.

1547
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:37,720
Speaker 1: Let's talk to Dalton Shechltz, which is a fascinating opportunity

1548
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:39,640
Speaker 1: for him. Over the last three weeks, the Falcons have

1549
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:42,519
Speaker 1: given up the third most yards and the second most

1550
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 1: receptions to tight ends. Sheltz has had a quiet couple

1551
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 1: of weeks and he but he still remains seventh in

1552
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:51,679
Speaker 1: yards among tight ends, hasn't scored a touchdown since Week four.

1553
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:53,920
Speaker 1: But the key thing you need to know about Dalton

1554
01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 1: Sheltz is Blake Jarwin's on I R and Schultz is

1555
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 1: no longer competing for tight end targets, and I think

1556
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 1: that's enough to keep him with a solid game here

1557
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:04,719
Speaker 1: and a potential bounce back with a B grade and lastly,

1558
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard gets a C grade. We've seen change of pace.

1559
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 1: Backs mark Ingram and j. D. Mckissic have solid days

1560
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:16,599
Speaker 1: against Atlanta, and backs that have been in Pollard's ten

1561
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 1: ish touch range typically typically find their way to a

1562
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 1: good game against Atlanta. So we'll give a C grade

1563
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 1: to Tony Pollard. Our final matchup is the Monday Night

1564
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 1: er is it often times is Rams taking on the

1565
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 1: forty Niners. Rams offense struggled last week. You see a

1566
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 1: bounce back coming, Brian, Yeah, I do, and I'll make

1567
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:38,400
Speaker 1: quick mention. This is the first meeting of the season

1568
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 1: between these divisual Divisional opponents. Starting with the running back

1569
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:44,560
Speaker 1: for l A Darryl Henderson. Gonna give him a B.

1570
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:47,639
Speaker 1: San Francisco has allowed ten touchdowns running backs. Only six

1571
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:50,720
Speaker 1: other teams have double digit scores to the position. I

1572
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:53,160
Speaker 1: expect to bounce back for Henderson and this one he

1573
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:56,559
Speaker 1: gets a B. Gonna give Cooper cup in a Cup

1574
01:23:56,720 --> 01:24:00,360
Speaker 1: doesn't have the best history against San Francisco, only has

1575
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 1: one touchdown in his last five meetings with the Niners,

1576
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:06,240
Speaker 1: and forty one yards was the most he has totaled

1577
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:08,600
Speaker 1: in a game during that span, but He's obviously on

1578
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:11,720
Speaker 1: another level this year, and the San Francisco secondary is

1579
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 1: just super banged up. So an easy A for Cup

1580
01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:17,080
Speaker 1: and an easy B for Robert Woods, who has at

1581
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:20,120
Speaker 1: least seventy yards or a touchdown in each of his

1582
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:24,600
Speaker 1: past six games. He also has at least nine targets

1583
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:28,400
Speaker 1: and back to back games, So be for Robert Woods.

1584
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 1: I do have Van Jefferson on the bench. Despite San

1585
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 1: Francisco secondary being very banged up. Like I just mentioned,

1586
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:37,120
Speaker 1: soon to be living in a van down by the river.

1587
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:40,639
Speaker 1: Jefferson has only topped three catches once in his last

1588
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:44,040
Speaker 1: five games. He is on the bench, as is Tyler Higbee.

1589
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 1: San Francisco was allowing less than four catches and thirty

1590
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:50,599
Speaker 1: five yards per game to opposing tight ends, and Matt

1591
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:54,120
Speaker 1: Stafford gonna give him a B. Comparable quarterbacks like Carson Wentz,

1592
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, and the very uncomparable Jared goff

1593
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 1: have all throw him form multiple touchdowns against San Francisco,

1594
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 1: and uh, I'll stay at a third time. That secondary

1595
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 1: is very banged up. I'm a big fan of the

1596
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 1: passing game for the Rams, and this one over to

1597
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:12,439
Speaker 1: the forty nine side, starting with George Kittle, who looked

1598
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 1: great in his return last week. He has topped one

1599
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:17,800
Speaker 1: hundred yards end or scored a touchdown in six of

1600
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:20,200
Speaker 1: his seven career games against the Rams. The one time

1601
01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:23,720
Speaker 1: he failed to meet both benchmarks was in his rookie year.

1602
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,160
Speaker 1: And it's a pretty good matchup on paper. L A

1603
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 1: is allowing six catches and sixty yards per game to

1604
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:32,599
Speaker 1: opposing tight ends. Uh de boat Samuel just gonna give

1605
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:35,040
Speaker 1: him a be here. Might see a fewer targets with

1606
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:38,080
Speaker 1: Kittle back, but he still saw nine looks last week.

1607
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:42,639
Speaker 1: Debot average yards with a touchdown in his two games

1608
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: against l A last year. There's a chance he's shadowed

1609
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,599
Speaker 1: by Jalen Ramsey, but there's no way you can bench

1610
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 1: debo when healthy Brandon I Yuke almost back to unbengeable status,

1611
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:54,879
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to trust him in this matchup.

1612
01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:57,160
Speaker 1: Uh If I puts up good numbers in this one,

1613
01:25:57,200 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 1: I'll be a little surprised, but well, well, but if

1614
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:01,840
Speaker 1: he does do that, well, at least, no, he's back

1615
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:04,120
Speaker 1: as a viable fantasy asset, but I don't trust him

1616
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:05,840
Speaker 1: in this one. He is on the bench, as is

1617
01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. The Rams have surrendered just just ten passing

1618
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:12,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns all season, and they're ready to add Von Miller

1619
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:17,559
Speaker 1: into their past rushing mix. And lastly, Elijah Mitchell just

1620
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:20,320
Speaker 1: gonna give him a c uh. The Rams have the

1621
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:23,840
Speaker 1: highest rated run defense according to Pro Football Focus, and

1622
01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:27,000
Speaker 1: no runner has topped fifty yards against them in five

1623
01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:31,559
Speaker 1: straight games. Wow. It is a tough matchup for him,

1624
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 1: and he comes in a little bit banged up as well,

1625
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 1: which worries me a little bit. Additionally, for Elijah Man,

1626
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 1: the Rams are vulnerable, vulnerable through the air to the

1627
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:41,719
Speaker 1: position though allowing the ninth most receiving yards to running

1628
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 1: backs in the twelveth most reception So that's why I

1629
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:47,519
Speaker 1: gave him the starting See Elijah Wilson is looming there too,

1630
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:51,880
Speaker 1: and James Hasty Toilson is not back yet, but is

1631
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:54,400
Speaker 1: his return is looming? And is it maybe as soon

1632
01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:58,320
Speaker 1: as next week? Um guys. Cam Newton is resigned with

1633
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:00,559
Speaker 1: his old team, and something that I think most people

1634
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 1: thought would would not end up happening. Any reason to

1635
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 1: believe Cam Newton will be materially better in Carolina than

1636
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:10,720
Speaker 1: he was in New England, where mostly he was not

1637
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 1: a fantasy startable quarterback. I'm not so convinced he's gonna

1638
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: rekindle that magic in Carolina. He certainly didn't look good

1639
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 1: in his last season with the Panthers. Um he does

1640
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:27,439
Speaker 1: have healthy Christian McCaffrey back that helps. D J. Moore

1641
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,960
Speaker 1: is certainly trending upwards. I do know that Carolina has

1642
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:35,800
Speaker 1: the eighth hardest remaining strength of schedule for quarterbacks, So UH,

1643
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:39,439
Speaker 1: don't know he's worth a roster spot, but I'm pretty bummed.

1644
01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:41,880
Speaker 1: I really wanted to see what p J. Walker had

1645
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:43,839
Speaker 1: to offer. We will get to see that on Sunday

1646
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:46,480
Speaker 1: if he has a good game though against the Cardinals.

1647
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:48,599
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be tough to to sit PJ.

1648
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 1: But they gave Cam ridiculous amount of guaranteed money, and

1649
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean, the Panthers are still kind of in line

1650
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:57,639
Speaker 1: for that seventh wild card spot in the NFC. They're

1651
01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 1: they're in play there, so they're gonna go at the

1652
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 1: hot hand. So we're probably gonna see some Cam Newton,

1653
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:06,679
Speaker 1: but we're calling him Scam Newton because he doesn't throw

1654
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:09,519
Speaker 1: the ball well at all anymore. And uh, I'm I'm

1655
01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 1: a little nervous that that might be the case when

1656
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 1: we see him again, and it might torpedo d J.

1657
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:18,320
Speaker 1: Moore's value. I'd like to see them platoon Cam as

1658
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:20,200
Speaker 1: a runner and use them like a little bit of

1659
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:22,559
Speaker 1: a Taysom Hill. And he doesn't have to be your

1660
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 1: full time quarterback, but bring him in and let him

1661
01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: run a little bit. Great job this week. Thanks to

1662
