Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: advice League dot Com. Here's your host. Welcome to Fantasy

5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: Football Weekly, Week number ten. I am Paul Georgian by

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: Coast Today or Brian Johnson and Matt Harrison. Hello, gentlemen,

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: double digit weeks. Let's go double digit weeks. Yeah, it's

8
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: not quite the home stretch, but you know we're getting down.

9
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: Is this officially nut cutting time? And who goes around

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: cutting nuts anyway? I mean, other than like secans or

11
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: something like that. Maybe I don't know, I mean you

12
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: cut them. Maybe can't you just eat the whole thing?

13
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: I think that maybe to get the shell off you

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: must cut the shell. And so so I mean it,

15
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: it's pecan pie season rights, so that means it's so

16
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: it's not cutting time to get ready for your pecan pies.

17
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 1: I'd rather have the pecan pie than the pumpkin pie. Delicious.

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: The nutcutter sounds like the horror version of the Nutcracker.

19
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: I'd rather go to the Rocky Horror. Over the course

20
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: of the show, you will find nine players upon whom

21
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: you can take a chance. We'll answer three tough questions,

22
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: will premature speculation, and we'll break down every game fantasy style,

23
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: beginning with the Eagles taking on the Giants. Brian, we're

24
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: finally going to see the Eagles offense. We were promised

25
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: in the preseason. It's only taken ten weeks to get here.

26
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: But we've got everybody healthy. Unless you're denying Zach existence,

27
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: but yes, So let's start with Miles Sanders, who will

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: make his return, and more importantly, or is of equal importance.

29
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: Right tackle Lane Johnson should also make his return for

30
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: the Eagles. But I mean give Sanders a cautious be here,

31
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: but there is a upside uh. These teams, by the way,

32
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: played in Week seven, not long ago. We'll we'll reference

33
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: that Matt up for sure. Sanders had not playing that

34
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: first meeting. The Philly Backs, who were led by Boston Scott,

35
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: total six eight rushing yards on sixteen carries and fifty

36
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: eight receiving yards on seven catches. That's probably a floor

37
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: for Sanders and this one on paper not a great matchup. Tho,

38
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: the Giants have held the posing running backs to less

39
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: than three point nine yards per carry this year, so

40
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: B for Sanders again, but there is a upside here

41
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: based on volume odd to the past game. I'm gonna

42
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: start with Dallas Goddard, give him a B. The Giants

43
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: have been pretty good against tight ends, allowing allowing these

44
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: seventh fewest catches and fifth fewest touchdowns to the position.

45
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: Goddard has yet to score in four career games against

46
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: New York so far. But Dick rod Ricord Richard Rogers,

47
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: back up to the backup Philly tight end, had six

48
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: catches for eighty five yards against these Giants in Week seven,

49
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: So I'm giving Goddard to be Now to the receiving game,

50
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: which is all of a sudden, very muddied. The waters

51
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: are very muddy, too much talent shock full of wide

52
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: resus eivers now when they had none. We'll start with

53
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: Travis Fulgum, who has earned the right to be called

54
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: Philly's wide receiver one right now. Did pretty well in

55
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: the first meeting, five catches for seventy three yards, primarily

56
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: draped in James Bradberry throughout that game. The Giants top corner.

57
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: But Philly has more weapons now that might take some

58
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: of that burden off Fulgham, so gonna get Fulghum a

59
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: safe sea here as well as Jalen Reagor saw six

60
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: targets in his first game back. That was in Week eight.

61
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: By the way, Philly is coming off thereby scored a

62
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: touchdown in that game. The Giants have surrendered a wide

63
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: receiver touchdown in four straight games, and that includes the

64
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: Eagles game. The touchdown went to Greg Ward, who was

65
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: the secondary receiver at the time. That is now Jalen Reagor.

66
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: So safe c for Reagor as well, and Alishan. Jeffrey

67
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: is gonna make his season debut. I'm not gonna give

68
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: him a grade here, but we might talk about him

69
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: a little later in the show. And lastly, for Philly,

70
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz bench grade a bench grade for Jef. I

71
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: refused to give Alshan a grade of any kind. That's right,

72
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: especially D. I will not give him. You make you

73
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: make guests every care with al Sean. Give a player

74
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: at D on this show. But Carson Wentz be the voices.

75
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: The masses have spoken. They don't want the D. The

76
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: letter grade, the D letter grade. We'll see. I don't

77
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: know I want it. Don't you want it? Man? Frankly,

78
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: you you brought it that YouTube do not matter. Carson

79
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: Wentz not a B or A. D Wins gets a

80
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: B three fifty nine and two passing in week seven,

81
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: also added a rushing touchdown this time around. He basically

82
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: has all his weapons back outside of zach ERTs, so

83
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: a safety for Carson Wentz over to the Giant side.

84
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: Not allow to talk about Davante Freeman a k A

85
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: DeVante Seamer. You go. He's been placed on I R

86
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: so he will not be playing. So Wayne Gallman and

87
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris left in the Giants backfield. I got him

88
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: both on the bench though Philly holding opposing backs under

89
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: three point four yards per carry, allowing just a hundred

90
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: and eleven combo yards per game to the position. You

91
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: can go. Gallman if very desperate, but I don't expect

92
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: much from him. Darius Slayton not gonna expect much from

93
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: him either. He's on the bench, only two catches for

94
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: twenty three yards in the first meeting. He should see

95
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: a ton of Darius slay again, who has returned to

96
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: for him. So Slayton is on the bench for me,

97
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 1: but Sterling Shepherd is not. He scored in the first meeting,

98
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: also had six catches for yards, his best game of

99
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: the year, and in the three games since he has

100
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: seen double digit targets twice. Golden Tate also scored, but

101
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: he heard his knee scored in the first game, heard

102
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: his knee in practice, and he's in the doghouse because

103
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: of his wife, so he's on the bench. Tate is,

104
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: but Shepherd gets a B. He will be uh in

105
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: the slot where I'll see Nickel Robie Coleman, an old

106
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: friend of the show who was allowing a pass the

107
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: rating of a hundred and twelve in his coverage. And

108
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: the last Giant who gets a starting grade is Evan

109
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: Ingram six forty six in the first meeting, basically hit

110
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: his floor there. He's averaging roughly six catches and fifty

111
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: nine yards against the Eagles over his career, who are

112
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: also allowing the third most receptions and touchdowns to tight

113
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: ends this season. So a B for Angram and Daniel

114
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: Jones on the bench. This was the stumble game where

115
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: he fell on that. Yeah, we tackled himself. We're not

116
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: gonna rushing yards like he had in the first meeting.

117
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: He did have two passing touchdowns with just a hundred

118
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: and eighty seven yards, but Jones on the bench ye

119
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: and pretty much every week. Unfortunately, I was hoping for

120
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 1: better this year. Let's move over to the Jaguars taking

121
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: on the Packers. Matt Weather, it could be a serious

122
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: issue here this game. If you believe the early forecast,

123
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: it appears this game looks a lot like that Viking

124
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: game from two weeks ago where neither team could pass. Yeah,

125
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: and I mean there's still some some pretty good offensive

126
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: numbers put up in that game by running back by

127
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: a few guys. I would like to note randomly, I

128
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 1: went to a Jaguars at Packers game in Lambeau Field

129
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: where Byron Leftwich beat the Packers. You're an experts, so

130
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: there's nobody better than me to this matchup right here.

131
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: Let's start with James Robinson of the Jaguars. I'm giving

132
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,559
Speaker 1: him a solid B grade in this one. The Vikings

133
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: showed the recipe for beating the Packers in Lambeau in

134
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: this weather run at them all day long, and since

135
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: Robinson is a clear bell cow averaging twenty one touches

136
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: per game, he's got a shot. The Packers have had

137
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: issues against bell cow running backs every runner who has

138
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: had at least sixteen carries against Green Bay has recorded

139
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in a game or more, and Alvin Kamara

140
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: did not hit that number with the rushing attempts, but

141
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: he scored twice through the air against Green Bay in

142
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: a game where he had nineteen touches. So the only

143
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: reason he's not an a the game script just might

144
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: get away from the Jaguars in this one, Jake Lewton,

145
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: although the game script gets away from the Jaguars in

146
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: almost every game, and he's the game script has already

147
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: left the Jaguars. They haven't even got to Green Bay yet.

148
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: They are improv there's no script. They're like whose line

149
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: is it? Anyway of the NFL while their points don't matter.

150
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: That's true, uh, Jake Lewton, he's on your bench. Who

151
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: had half to be a really deep two quarterback or

152
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: super flex league to start looting? To his credit, he

153
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: did beat the Texans for three four yards and a

154
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: score last week. But the Packers aren't thrown on a bunch.

155
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: They're averaging only thirty one pass attempts per game, which

156
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: translates to an average of two or fifty yards against

157
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: and just over a passing score. So Luton's on the

158
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: bench and the only receiver of his I'm going to

159
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: give a starting grade two is dj Chark, who only

160
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: gets a C. He's going to get the solo coverage

161
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: from JayR Alexander. Although let's know there's a chance Alexander

162
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: doesn't go in this one, and he's shaping up closer

163
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: to a game time decision. Well, that would would help

164
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: a little bit help, That might bump him up to uh,

165
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: something between a CE something like that. Solid be a

166
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: liquid be. You'd definitely be a liquid be if the

167
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: Alexander is out. That is solid B movement for DJR.

168
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: Let's continue. The game script does favor the Packers getting

169
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: up early in this one, and then Chart should see

170
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: double digit targets like he did last week with Luton.

171
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: He converted those into seven catches a hundred and forty

172
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: six yards in a score that included a seventy three

173
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: yard touchdown strike. And it was clear if you look

174
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: back at this game, Luton only wanted to throw it

175
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: to Chark. It was like, oh, that's my guy. Okay,

176
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: he did throw to one other guy though Chris Conley randomly, uh,

177
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: And there's no consistency from week to week outside of

178
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: Chark on this team, Um, everybody's getting to three targets

179
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: except Chris Connley, who had eight targets last And Connley

180
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: is gonna start this game with UM with Laviska out,

181
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: so Conny will be on the field again a lot.

182
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: And he wouldn't see jaire Alexander. You and if Alexander

183
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: goes a little known fact real quick, Chris Connolly, this

184
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: is the state of the Jaguars, by the way, is

185
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: a captain of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yes, I saw the

186
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: patch for myself. What didn't Chris Conley play for Wisconsin.

187
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: It's just I think he did see if that rafted

188
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: by the Chiefs, we know that. I'll look into all right,

189
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: Davante Adams. Let's go over to the other side. He's easily,

190
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: Oh Church, we gotta get the art Vark. Sound so

191
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: owned out because Davante Adams is easily the art Vark

192
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: this week, whether weather permitting. Hey guess what. He scored

193
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: a handful of touchdowns in that game against the Vikings,

194
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: weather permitting. So Chris Connelly went to University of Georgia.

195
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: He's also not aren in Wisconsin. He was born in

196
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: at in cure Lack Air Base in Turkey, so it's

197
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: not at homecoming. Tricky for him to have the hole.

198
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: What if he plays on Thanksgiving in the future, Remember

199
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: that is like the ultimate, that's the Thanksgiving game. Wow,

200
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad. We're glad we got that settled. Uh, Aaron,

201
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: we do not have We do not have a turkey

202
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: of all the animals that we now have on this thing. No,

203
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: we don't have. We do not have a turkey in

204
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: the system right now. Brianne is Brianne is feverishly looking

205
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: for a feverishly um. Aaron Rodgers is also getting an

206
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: easy A grade. The Jaguars rank dead last in the

207
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: league in Football Outsiders passing d v o A. Let's

208
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: talk about his other receivers. Alan Lazard might return this week.

209
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: He's been practicing, but the Packers don't need to activate

210
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: him until next week. And I believe he was Churches

211
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: premature speculation last week correct well, and he was Scott

212
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: Scott Fishes the week before that. He's not gonna play here,

213
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: so use him one more time this week. We could,

214
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: but you probably want to pick him up. He did

215
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: make the trip to San Francisco last week and has

216
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: been practicing in a limited fashion. But I imagine that

217
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: the Packers are going to exercise caution. They don't need

218
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: him to beat the Jaguars, you think, And it sounds

219
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: like the plan is not to use Alan Lazard here. Yeah,

220
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: and if he's not active, I think I'd give Marquees

221
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: Veldez Scantling a C start dart in this one. That's

222
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: the Chris Conley key right there. You know what's going

223
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: to happen next week. Gonna sit down in front of

224
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: all of our sounders here and there a turkey. But

225
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: we should just label at Chris Conley, all right. Um.

226
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: Robert Touny in he gets a C grade, but he

227
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: was added to the injury report on Friday and was

228
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: very limited in practice with an ankle injury, and he

229
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: basically pitched a goose egg last week. He's done very

230
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: little since Davante Adams return from injury. But I do

231
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: like him this week because the Jags are allowing the

232
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: third most yards and almost a touchdown per game to

233
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: the tight end position. If he doesn't go, I think

234
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: I'd throw a dart at Jace Sternberger. Yeah, let's hope

235
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Let's hope not.

236
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: When we come back, take a chance on me. Nine

237
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: players not normally in your starting lineup. These are all

238
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: guys that you'll want to start this weekend. Many of

239
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: them are are going to be available in the waiver

240
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: wire for you to pick up if you decide you

241
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: want to go that route. We'll tell you who those

242
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: nine players are when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly.

243
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Brian Johnson, Matt Harrison with you.

244
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: This is take a chance on me. We begin with

245
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks available on the waiver wire in most cases

246
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: that you can start. This week. We begin with Brian Johnson.

247
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: I put on for my city Drew Lock again. Baby.

248
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm going back to the well came through last week.

249
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: It was it was. It looked bad for a long time.

250
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: Maybe finishes like QV three on the week, So I'll

251
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: take it and I have like his chances again this

252
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: week at Las Vegas. Aside from the Raiders Typhoon game

253
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: in Cleveland a couple of weeks ago, they've allowed at

254
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: least passing yards and multiple touchdowns in four straight games.

255
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: Lock should stay upright for the most part. Vegas is

256
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: bottom five in sack percentage and quarterback hit rate, and

257
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: this game should be a shootout. The over under is

258
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: fifty point five, and each of Denver's last three games

259
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: went north of eight. Sorry, fifty eight points a lot,

260
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot, Drew luck. All right, Matt,

261
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: you'll take a chance at the quarterback. What time is it.

262
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: It's two o'clock. It's two o'clock. Ye to A looked

263
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: really good against the Cardinals last week. I thought he

264
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: looked good. People, Okay, sorry, I'll take that. I'll take

265
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: that really off. Their hyperbole has gone a little too

266
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: far onto his game. Well, he led the Fins to

267
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: the second win and as many starts as a rookie quarterback,

268
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: and they haven't really let him cut loose with the

269
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: offense yet. They've played things pretty simple, close to the vest.

270
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: But as he continues to feel comfortable, I think the

271
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins will feed him more of the playbook. And I

272
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: think that's this week when he plays a Chargers defense

273
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: that people think is pretty legit. But they've allowed twenty

274
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: nine points or more in each of their last five games,

275
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: and each of those five quarterbacks has either topped three

276
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: yards thrown for multiple scores or both. Plus with both

277
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: of these teams sporting rookie quarterbacks and a severely injured

278
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: running game, I think this is one of those air

279
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: raid games that to a and air bear go after

280
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: each other. That's the one. Oh yeah, baby, Now that's

281
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: a real that's a real animal. Listen, turkeys, that's a

282
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: that's the kind of animal. Definitely not a Sad Trombone.

283
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: Nick Foles has been so lackluster. If Sad Trombone Ski,

284
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: there we go wealthy. We would be talking about Sad

285
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: Trombone Ski in this spot. But no, it's Nick Foles instead. Um,

286
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: he's folds to struggle badly and other normal circumstances. I

287
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: don't recommend him. But the Vikings are expected to be

288
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: missing up to four cornerbacks on Monday night. They always are.

289
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: They always even have that many cornerbacks to be missing.

290
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: Cornerbacks one, three, four, and five are all expected to

291
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: be missing this game. And as great as Mike Jimmer,

292
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: Zimmer has done with just scotch taping this set in,

293
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: they'rea together sooner or later. You can't keep trotting out

294
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: fifth stringer, six stringer, seventh stringers, against guys as good

295
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: as Allen Robinson. So I think here it catches up

296
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: with the Vikings to some degree, and they have They

297
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: have given up pretty big passing games pretty universally. So

298
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for Nick Foles. Let's go to

299
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: the running back position. Brian, I like that Jimmer for

300
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: debt Frudian slip there. Like Mike Jimmer, I got Leonard

301
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: four Nett at Carolina. Now, the timeshare in the Tampa

302
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: Bay backfield has been pretty frustrating this season, but over

303
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, four Nett has seen twice as

304
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: many snaps as Ronald Jones. He is the proven third

305
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: down pass catching back. The Panzo Panthers have allowed the

306
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: most receptions in the fifth most receiving yards to running backs.

307
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: Carolina also allows nine seven rushing yards and a rushing

308
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: touchdown per game two running backs. And oh yeah, Leonard

309
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: Fournette had one hundred plus rushing yards and two rushing

310
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns when these teams met in Week two. And Ronald

311
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: Jones is just bad. We'll talk more about him later

312
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: in the show, just about how bad he is. Okay,

313
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: sounds good. Your take a chance to me. Running back

314
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: Matt If we want to talk about bad, let's talk

315
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: about Klin Blage. That is an excellent segue right there. Um.

316
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: Klin Blage now plays for the Chargers, and in his

317
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: Chargers debut last week, he was the lead back after

318
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson went down with an injury in the opening

319
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: seconds of the game. Blage ended up with seventeen touches

320
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: eighty four total yards in a score. Not a soul

321
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: in the entire world saw any of those fantasy points.

322
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: There's not one person. This week, he faces a Dolphins

323
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: defense that is allowing four point six yards per carry

324
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: on the season and was ranked the nine ranked rushing

325
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: defense by Football Outsiders d v o A. Also, Kyle

326
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: van Noy and Christian Wilkins were placed on the COVID

327
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: list and won't play this week. And oh, by the way,

328
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: there's beef here. This is really a personal revenge game

329
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: right here. The Dolphins traded Blage to Adam Gaze and

330
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: the Jets for a bag of donuts earlier this year.

331
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: Then Balash failed the physical was sent back to Miami.

332
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: That had to be awkward, yes, and then the Jets

333
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: ended up cutting him. Now he gets to face off

334
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: against his old team. Oh, and he gets the Adam

335
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: Gaze boost. Yes, the I've left Adam Gaze, so everybody

336
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: gets better. I'm going with J. D. Mick kiss Yes.

337
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: I at this point, I I think I just gotta

338
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: call him. Do would you like to do an apology?

339
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: I gotta kiss up to make kiss it would? I

340
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: know you're a listener, Okay, I apologize for the inhumane

341
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: treatment you've received. Maybe you gave him the motivation he

342
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: needed on a week tweak basis. It's a good point

343
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: because he saw a scalding of the snaps last week,

344
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: establishing an instant rapport with a new starter, Alex Smith.

345
00:18:54,720 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: Catching nine of fourteen targets last week for sixty five yards.

346
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: They were all season highs with Alex Smith. He should

347
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: be able to keep it going against a Lions defense

348
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: that has been torched by opposing runners through the air.

349
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: They're allowing the fourth most receiving yards, the most receiving

350
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game to the position, with back scoring receiving

351
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: touchdowns in three of the last four against Detroit. J D.

352
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: Mick kissing, let's go to the receivers, Brian, take a

353
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: chance of me white out Cleveland's Rochard Higgins at home

354
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: against the Texans. UH only one catch for Richard on

355
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: three targets in Cleveland's first full OH B J less game,

356
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: but that was the monsoon game against the Raiders. Is

357
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: not going to read too much into that and the

358
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: three games prior where Beckham was healthy for two and

359
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: a half of them, Higgins either scored a touchdown or

360
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: topped a hundred yards in all three. Houston is allowing

361
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: one and seventy plus yards per game to wide receivers.

362
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: They've already surrendered thirteen touchdowns to the position, that is

363
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: second most. So I like me some Richard Higgins this week. Okay, bat,

364
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: how about Mike Gassicki, who's by the way, fifty owned

365
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: in ESPN leagues, which I can't why at this point.

366
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: It's a tight end waste land out there, and I

367
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: kind of like Gasicki here. Last December, Mike Gasicki was

368
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: the tight end darling of the of the league. And

369
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: I think we're gearing up for another one of those

370
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: because last year Preston Williams got hurt in Week nine

371
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: and went on I R just like he did this year.

372
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: From Week ten on, Ghisicky became the de facto second

373
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: passing option on that team and averaged over seven targets

374
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: per game. This week, he gets a Chargers defense that

375
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: has allowed five touchdowns to the tight end position in

376
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: just the last five weeks. Mike Gassicky, go pick him up.

377
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: Remember last December when Gisicky and Higbee were they blew

378
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: up in December. We all roll into, you know, roll

379
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: into the next season. Like those guys. You know they're young,

380
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: they're both of them are on the waiver wire. They've

381
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: both been awful this year. Josh Reynolds has an uninspired,

382
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: tired play, but he's on the field seventy eight percent

383
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: of the team snaps. I am interested in any carbon

384
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: based life form that is on the field for sent

385
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: of a team snaps against the worst past defense in

386
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: NFL history. How bad is Seattle? The Seahawks are on

387
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: pace to give up one thousand more passing yards than

388
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: the next worst past defense of all time. Seattle allows

389
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: two d eighty passing yards to wide receivers, sixty more

390
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: than the next worst team. They're giving up a staggering

391
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: twenty two receptions just to the wide out position, worst

392
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: in the league, and Josh Reynolds has scored in two

393
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: of the last three games, three out of the last four.

394
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds. Here we go. I think it. I think

395
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: it all makes sense. Those some solid Reynolds wrap right there.

396
00:21:54,840 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: Oh why didn't I think of that? I guess next next,

397
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: next week. There's always a chance for somebody to wrap

398
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: their Josh Reynolds. I want to hear you drop some bars.

399
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: You do the beatbox Brian Ravens take on the Patriots.

400
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: Let's begin with Lamar Jackson. This passing offense has not

401
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: been good. He hasn't top two touchdown passes in a

402
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: game since the opener. And even though Joe Flacco, of

403
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: all people, just roasted the Patriots secondary, don't let recency

404
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: bias make you forget that New England had gone three

405
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: weeks without allowing a passing touchdown before that. Now, Stephon

406
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: Gilmour probably misses this game, and that means to me

407
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: Jackson is a pretty safe start. But I'm in a

408
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: note here. The Patriots are allowing just fifteen quarterback rushing

409
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: yards per game, so there is the opportunity for a

410
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 1: major flop here for Lamar Jackson, but he usually finds

411
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: his way to a decent not explosive game, so we

412
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: have just to be grade for Lamar Jackson his receivers.

413
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown gets a C grade. New England said, can

414
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: there is a lot of one yard receiver in three

415
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: of the past four games, again mostly with Gilmore out

416
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: and has they just surrendered a multi touchdown game to

417
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: Brochard Payriman. Brown lines up on the right side most

418
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: often where he will face J. C. Jackson in coverage,

419
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: who allowed two scores in his coverage last week. So

420
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: C grade for Marcus Brown. He's been a touchdown dependent

421
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: receiver to this point. What Mark Andrews, speaking of the

422
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: tight end waste land he's contributed, he has had. Out

423
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: of the eight games so far, he's had three good

424
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: games and five that have been straight up disaster grade games.

425
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: He's the guy you're not going to see on many

426
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: playoff teams at this rate based on his ADP. He's

427
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: completely touchdown dependent well, and he's still the eighth ranked

428
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: tight end in the league right now, which is which

429
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: says a lot about the tight end position. Andrews recorded

430
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: just two catches for twenty one yards against the Patriots

431
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: last season, in a game in which the Ravens scored

432
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: thirty seven points. He had twenty one scoreless yards. Andrews

433
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: commands a thirty five percent share of the Ravens targets

434
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: in the red zone, good good for third most league wide.

435
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: So hopefully you'll pay off in a touchdown. And that's

436
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: a C grade for Mark Andrews. Now, everybody else is

437
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: on the bench that you might be tempted to start,

438
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: including the running backs. Mark Ingram practiced on Friday, and

439
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: it looks like we're back to one of the league's

440
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: messiest rotations. Over the last four games, the Patriots have

441
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: given up per game averages of a hundred thirty six

442
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: rushing yards and one and a half scores and five

443
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: yards per carry to running back. So there's something will

444
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: probably get done here. But when you split that up

445
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: three ways, it's hard to feel confident about any of

446
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: the three. J. K. Dobbins in particularly not chipping in

447
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: with the receptions like we thought he might, and nobody

448
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: else is really getting him either, and he's been held

449
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: under thirty four yards in five of the last six games.

450
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: I've got them all on the bench, all right, let's

451
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: go to Let's go to the Patriots side, where I've

452
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: only got a couple of starters for you, Cam Newton.

453
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: His is the rare rushing his quiz the rare rush

454
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: touchdown dependent quarter back. He's a running back playing quarterback. Basically, yes, um,

455
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: we're not going to chase last week's two rushing touchdowns

456
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: because he's not playing the Jets. The Ravens are only

457
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: allowing sixteen quarterback rushing yards per game, although three quarterbacks

458
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: have found the end zone against the Ravens. And that's

459
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: I guess why he's getting a C grade here for

460
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: the hopeful the rushing score. His passing is awful and

461
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens are a very good past defense. Who his

462
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: arms gonna you just get a bonus on whatever his

463
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: arms chip in? Uh. If he's gonna throw anything, it'll

464
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: go to Jacoby Myers. Myers will face Marcus Peters most often,

465
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: and while Peters has been inconsistent, it's still not a

466
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: terribly favorable matchup here. The Ravens have allowed the eighth

467
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: fewest yards to wideouts and the third fewest touchdowns. Myers

468
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: runs from the slot a little bit, and if Marlon

469
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: Humphrey can't go due to the COVID protocol, he's trying

470
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: to get through that gives Myers a glimpse of hope,

471
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: and that's why I've got a C grade on him.

472
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: You know, Myers hasn't done anything at all this year

473
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: on days where it wasn't his birthday. That's really a

474
00:25:54,640 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: very birthday dependent wide receiver Jacoby Myers. And lastly, C

475
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: grade on Damien Harris, and it's barely to see he's

476
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: dealing with a knee injury. Looks like he's gonna play.

477
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: Aside from one long mile Sanders run, Baltimore is held

478
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: every back under seventy two rushing yards, Harris doesn't catch

479
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: and his quarterback steals his goal line looks so you know,

480
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: it's a C grade for the sixties scoreless guards that

481
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: I expect him to get in this game. James White

482
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: is on the bench. Baltimore has mostly handled other past

483
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: catching specialists niakem Hinz twenty yards last week, Boston Scott

484
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: five yards, j D Mkissic forty yards, Kareem Hunt nine

485
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: yards through the air. That's it. They've only given up

486
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: one touchdown two running backs through the air this year,

487
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: that's all. And that's why you're not gonna start James

488
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: White in this game. When we come back Houston takes

489
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: on Cleveland. You'll find out about Duke Johnson's chances as

490
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: the likely starter for the Texans as he goes up

491
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: against Cleveland. Did he used to play for the Browns? Media?

492
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: Could there be a revenge motivation during the break? We'll

493
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: do that when we come back. Be encourage you to

494
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: stick around for that and final week to join a

495

Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Hi am Paul Churchy and

501
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: at Paul Churching on Twitter. Brian Johnson is at b

502
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: t x J and Matt Harrison is at a Explosive Output. Matt,

503
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: what's happening at Shock Fantasy? Oh? I got something to

504
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: reveal this week? Really and I do this this thing

505
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: that I've I've done the last few years. My Super

506
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: Bowl prop bet game. Yeah, I have one coming out

507
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: next week for Thanksgiving and the Thanksgiving games, all three

508
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: games in all three games in one tidy little sheet

509
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: for you and your family to play it Thanksgiving. Even

510
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: if you're not able to see your family this year,

511
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: print them off it. Do it from Afar. It's something

512
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: to keep you guys together. I'm in fantastic um. Anything

513
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: that means that I don't have to talk to my family,

514
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: I think is a bonus. Well, and it forces you

515
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 1: to watch more football. If people say, Paul, come through

516
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: the dishes, you go, I gotta keep score on this

517
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: game over here. Yeah, I have to watch football. Houston

518
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: takes on Cleveland, and it looks like David Johnson will

519
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: not clear the concussion protocol in time to participate in

520
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: this game. So Duke Johnson, coming off the heaviest workload

521
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: of his entire career, goes back to Cleveland where it

522
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: all began. Yeah, the heaviest workload was sixteen carries and

523
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: that was only the fifth time in his career that

524
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: he's seen double digit carries for Duke Johnson, So this

525
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 1: is like uncharted bell cow Territory, remember doing Isaiah Crowle

526
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: was stealing his touches. That's right, I forgot. We changed

527
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: the changed changed the cow bell down to one bell

528
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: It's like how it's the literal bell. Duke control the

529
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: bell a couple more times than that. It's not an

530
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: amazing matchup. The Browns are coming off their by so

531
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: the defense will be fresh. They're allowing a combo yards

532
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: per game drawnning backs and a touchdown per game. The

533
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: compoyards isn't great, but based on volume, Duke a safe b.

534
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: Now to the past game, will Fuller gets an A.

535
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: Now Will Fuller just playing in sixth straight games in

536
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: the past was impressive, but now six straight games with

537
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I don't even know what to say right now.

538
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm at a loss for words. I'm hard. I'll hark

539
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: and back as I as I, as I often like

540
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: to hearken. You're a big Hearken fan, big hearkener known

541
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: from my hearkening um back to the preseason when we

542
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: said Will Fuller stays healthy, if you promised me he'll

543
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: play sixteen games, he will be a top ten wide receiver.

544
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: He's a top ten wide receiver. Yeah, and you could

545
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: keep it rolling this week. Denzil Award is a great

546
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: cornerback for Cleveland, but he's basically the last man standing

547
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: in that secondary. Cleveland has allowed the fifth most catches

548
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: and third most touchdowns to wide receivers who are also

549
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: very active in the red zone. Against the Browns, Cleveland

550
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: has yielded the most red zone targets and second most

551
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: red zone touches to the position. So in A for

552
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: Fuller and in A for Brandon Cooks, who was universally

553
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: dropped essentially after Week four when he had zero catches

554
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: on three targets against the Vikings. Since then, he's seen

555
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: at least nine targets in four straight and has scored

556
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: in three of those four games. So in A for

557
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: Cooks and I don't give Darren Fells to see the

558
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: Browns are allowing six catches per game to opposing tight ends,

559
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: who are also averaging two red zone targets per game.

560
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: That's the highest clip in the league. Bells has scored

561
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: in two of his last three. So a CEE for

562
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: Fells in the waste land and DeShawn Watson and easy

563
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: A for me. Cleveland has allowed multiple passing touchdowns in

564
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: five of eight games, at least three passing touchdowns in

565
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: four of those five games, and in the three games

566
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,959
Speaker 1: they did not allow multiple passing scores. One was that

567
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: Monsoon game that we keep referencing, and the other two

568
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: were Ben Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers, who are not very

569
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: comparable to Deshaun Watson at this point in his career.

570
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: So I love Deshaun Watson with an a over to

571
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: the Cleveland side. Nick Chubb looking like he's going to

572
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: make his return. He is off, I r he will.

573
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. So we're looking at a fifty fifty

574
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: split maybe sixty forty. I think I think he goes

575
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: right back to he goes right back to what it was,

576
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: but that was not that was like, and I think

577
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: it might be more. Maybe maybe Hunt is the sixty

578
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: and Chubb is the forty. This week we can talk

579
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: more about Hunt and chubbing a little bit weekend. More importantly,

580
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: they both get the return of right tackle Wyatt Teller

581
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: this week. Um, it's a great matchup as well. Houston

582
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: has surrendered the most rushing yards and running backs, and

583
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: the Texans have also yielded the most red zone touches

584
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs and the second touches in gold

585
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: to go scenarios to the position. They have only allowed. Uh.

586
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: The texting that Texans that is one score to running

587
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: backs through the air, and only one back was able

588
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: to catch more than five passes against them. So I

589
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: do like Chubb more than Hunting this one, even if

590
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: Hunt sees more touches. But I'll give them both a

591
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: very safe sea. I suppose with B upside for both

592
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: uh stuff to gauge what's gonna happen here with with

593
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: Chubb returning, UH, Jarvis Landry gets b saw Levin targets

594
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: in his first game without oh. B J didn't do much,

595
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: but coming off the by probably the healthiest he's been

596
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: all year, should dominate slot corner Eric Murray, who owns

597
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: a one passer rating in his coverage, Orchards Higgins. I

598
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: like him as well. Was my take a chance on

599
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: me wide receiver and Austin Hooper. Gonna give him a

600
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: B if he returns, which he should. The Texans are

601
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: allowing the eighth most receptions and seventh most yards to

602
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: opposing tight ends. Houston has also surrendered a tight end

603
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: and two of their last four games, and that's notable

604
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: because the two teams that didn't score it tight in

605
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: touchdown during that span are actually one team. It was

606
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, who they played twice over the last four games,

607
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: so B for Hooper and a B for Mayfield. Baker,

608
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: Mayfield Houston who. Houston has allowed a three yard passing

609
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: game to Jake Lewton last week and prior to that

610
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: they allowed four touchdown passes and back to back games

611
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: at least two touchdown passes in five of seven, so

612
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: it was safe B for Baker. You don't really touch

613
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: on the weather. I mean the weather in Cleveland right

614
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: now is dangerously high winds, so there's they're not going

615
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: to get the rain from the monsoon game. But they

616
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: could very well have a game with wins that just

617
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: make it so you can't pass. Like it was a

618
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, there was like five win games. They

619
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: all came through on the over they except the Cleveland lost.

620
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: They did think the Vikings game didn't either. I can't believe,

621
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: but maybe it did. It did. No, there was another

622
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: I mean it was a lot. I mean there were

623
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: points scored. Let's put it that way. Just don't fade

624
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: these games. The gales of November came early. Now, when

625
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: you get to me, when you get wins in the

626
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: forty fifty, I don't want anything do with the passing game.

627
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: That's me, let's go to the Chargers taking on the Dolphins.

628
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 1: For the Chargers, it's all about quarterback. Justin Air Bear,

629
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: And I'd like to submit since I taught some kindergarteners

630
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: earlier this week, justin Air Bear as a children's book,

631
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: I think it's a great idea. Here we go. The

632
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: air bear doesn't scare. Oh wait, you're not. You're not

633
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: suggesting you're doing here? It comes okay, he doesn't care.

634
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: He'll pass with flair. You know what's rare, an average

635
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: of three oh seven yards pair and T T D

636
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: passes maybe two point fair. The Dolphins d will surely

637
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: dare air Bear, but they should be aware because they're

638
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: allowing to seventy five through the air and within their lair.

639
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: In Miami Fair, three of fair quarterbacks have gone for

640
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: over three yards. So grab a chair and start to

641
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: air Bear without a care. Because he's in a grade

642
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: I will share. That's it, okay, and now and now

643
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: Mike will Yeah, and now Mike Williams and Jalen Guiton.

644
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: As an erotic novel, Uh not really. The Dolphins have

645
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: two really good corners in Xavian Howard and Byron Jones.

646
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: They stay on the outside. That's where Williams and Guiton

647
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 1: will be. Keep them on your bench. But Keenan Allen

648
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 1: runs almost exclusively from the slot. In the last three games,

649
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: teams have absolutely attacked the slot. Against Miami, Cooper Cup

650
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: had twenty one targets. The week before, Jamison Crowder had

651
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: thirteen targets and seven catches. Only Davante Adams has more

652
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 1: targets per game on the season than Keenan Allen, who's

653
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: averaging eleven per game. This is setting up as a

654
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: high volume game for Allen. I'm giving him an a. Also,

655
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: Huntry Hunter. Henry, I'm giving him a be quietly ranks

656
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: third among tight ends with six point six targets per game.

657
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: The Dolphins have been pretty good against the tight end,

658
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: but they did allow two touchdowns to the tight end

659
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: position just last week against Arizona, and neither of them

660
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: were Dan Arnold. Brian probably feels bad about that one.

661
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: No doubt, the running game looks like a combo of

662
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,280
Speaker 1: Joshua Kelly and Klin Blage, as Justin Jackson and Troy

663
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: Maine Pope are both if he at best due to

664
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: their injuries. I use Klin Blage as might take a

665
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: chance on the runner and it made me feel great.

666
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 1: Really air quotes there. Uh, if Jackson specifically is cleared

667
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: to play, I'd probably move Blage to the bench grade

668
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: and and move that back to Jackson as a C.

669
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: But Joshua Kelly is really also a C grade in

670
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: this one because Miami's pretty bad against the run. Flip

671
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 1: over to the Miami side where I talked about TOA

672
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,959
Speaker 1: and Mike Gasiki both take a chance on me. Participants

673
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: Davante Parker, I'm giving a C grade in this one.

674
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: Preston Williams hit I R this week with a foot injury,

675
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: and they did trade away Isaiah Ford last week, So

676
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: five six Jachim Grant is your wide receiver two in

677
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: this offense? Or is it? Kasicki Parker gets the C

678
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 1: grade because the Chargers are a top eight defense against

679
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: both receiving yards and touchdowns allowed to the wide receiver position,

680
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: and then the running back situation is gross because Matt

681
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 1: Brito returns this week from a hamstring injury, but Miles

682
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: Gaskin does not, so it's likely Burrito working between the twenties,

683
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard in at the goal line and Patrick Laird

684
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: stealing some passing down work. So all of them are

685
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: on the bench, and if you need one, it's probably

686
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: Howard because he's got the best chance at a touchdown. Yeah,

687
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: you know, I want to say Matt Brita would be

688
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: startable in a pinch, but I I don't see it

689
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: coming together here. I don't either. Washington takes on Detroit.

690
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: Let's start with the passing game. Alex Smith and spot

691
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: duty has looked okay, let's call it inconsistent, but there's

692
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: a reason for optimism here. For the first time, he

693
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 1: gets a full week of practice with the first team offense,

694
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: and he faces a dismal lie in set and Dary.

695
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: Detroit ranks twenty six in passing touchdowns allowed. Pro Football

696
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: Focus ranks their pass rush, their coverage at Terry mclaurin's

697
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 1: anticipated excess alone is Harry mccono matchup makes Alex Smith

698
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 1: startable in this one. A C grade on Alex Smith,

699
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: So let's go over to Terry McLaren with his A grade.

700
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: Over the past three games of McLaren averaging ten targets

701
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: ninety three yards, He's scored twice over those three games,

702
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: and prior to the Lions break from facing a real

703
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: passing attack. The past two weeks against a washed up

704
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and a run focused Vikings, Detroit had allowed

705
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: a receiver to top ninety yards and four straight games. Uh.

706
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: The only other part of the passing game you'd want

707
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: to touch Logan Thomas tight end. His score touchdowns and

708
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: two of his last three weeks, the Lions have allowed

709
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: the fewest yards to tight ends, but they've given up

710
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: five touchdowns, including three in the past two weeks, and

711
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: they've played no good tight ends as one other thing,

712
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: and Logan Thomas isn't great, but he's on part with

713
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: the guy just score touchdowns against Detroit, so we'll give

714
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: him a B grade. Lastly, the running game, This is

715
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: I believe your last chance to buy low on Antonio Gibson.

716
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a big game here and he's gonna

717
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: have more of them coming forward. The Lions are allowing

718
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: the second most rushing yards the fourth most receiving yards

719
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: to the position for a league worst one eight seven

720
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: total yards and two touchdowns per game allowed to running backs.

721
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: It's been even worse lately, where they're giving up two

722
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: hundred twenty total yards and almost three touchdowns per game

723
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks. Antonio Gibson saw season lows

724
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 1: in rushing attempts and rushing yards last week as Washington

725
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: got out to an early early double digit deficit. But

726
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: they're not getting into a big deficit against the Lions,

727
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: so I think Gibson gets plenty of carries and he's

728
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: sitting on a big game B grade for Antonio Gibson.

729
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: Let's go over to Detroit where Matthew Stafford gets to

730
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: see grade. He's thrown exactly one touchdown in three of

731
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: last four games, and the other game was mostly stat

732
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 1: padding in a blowout loss. He has no Kenny Golladay here.

733
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: No quarterback has top two touchdowns against Washington all year,

734
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: and five opposing teams have failed to even top two

735
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: twelve passing yards. So that's why Stafford only gets the

736
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: C grade. And I've only got one receiver with a

737
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: starting grade. That's his tight end T J. Hockenson. He

738
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: missed some time at practice this week, but appears to

739
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: be okay. Hockinson has recorded at least five targets and

740
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: receptions in three straight games and has scored in four

741
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: the last five. He's got a great opportunity keep it

742
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: rolling against the Washington unit that has allowed six touchdowns

743
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: to opposing tight ends. We're gonna talk a little bit

744
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: more about t J. Hockenson shortly, and then the last

745
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: starter is DeAndre Swift. After getting trounced by the Cleveland

746
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: Backs in Week three, Washington has been pretty good at

747
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: keeping running backs in check since that game back in

748
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: Week three. They've allowed ninety six rushing yards per game,

749
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: which is pretty good with no back topping even sixty

750
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: eight yards. Swift and have much value through the air,

751
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: as Washington has allowed the third fewest receptions and second

752
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: fewest receiving yards to opposing running backs, and that's where

753
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: Swift has been helpful. He's chipped in a fair amount

754
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: of of receptions. But I don't think it happens here

755
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: for Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola. They're out. They need

756
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: they need easier starts, and this isn't one of them here.

757
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: And Marvin Jones, especially with a bad matchup Adrian Peterson. Also, well,

758
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: you thought maybe there'd be a revenge narrative for Adrian

759
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: Peterson last week against the Vikings. That didn't come together,

760
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: and so another revenge narrative. Yeah, but if he's going

761
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: to get the same light workload he's gotten over the

762
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: last month, you can't start him. Did they play Arizona

763
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: and New Orleans coming up to Yeah, I think I

764
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: actually looked for that. I don't. I don't think he

765
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 1: is going on the revenge tour unfortunately. UM at this stage,

766
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: I've got three minutes left. If you can tuck in

767
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: one more matchup, Brian, you can do it. If not,

768
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: I've got some I got some things from the Thursday

769
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: night game. I'd love to talk to you guys about.

770
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: Let's go for it, all right, Tampa Bay at Carolina.

771
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: These teams met week two. Will reference that quick, even

772
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: though Tampa Bay is an entirely different teams, since they

773
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: uh what the ones were in Week two. Let's start

774
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: with the receivers. Overall, Atlanta has held I'm sorry, Carolina

775
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: has held Atlanta's wide out scoreless twice this year. That's concerning.

776
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: But over the last three weeks they've allowed four wide

777
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: receiver touchdowns in a hundred nine yards per game to

778
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: the position. That's forty four yards more than on their

779
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,720
Speaker 1: season average. So I'm gonna give us see Trantonio Brown

780
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: Mike Evans and Chris Godwin quick hitters on each. Antonio

781
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: Brown five targets in his Bucks debut, caught three for

782
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: thirty one scoreless yards. In week to Tampa Bay white

783
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,240
Speaker 1: at white outs called eleven passes, seven went to Mike Evans,

784
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: but of course there was no Chris Godwin in that game.

785
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: No Antonio Brown in that game, so Evans gets to see.

786
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 1: He had the seven catches a hundred and four yards

787
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: in a touchdown in that first meeting, but again there

788
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: was no Godwin, there is no Brown, so temporary expectations

789
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: with Evans, he gets to seeing. Chris Godwin, probably the

790
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: safest option of wide receiver for Tampa Bay, missed the

791
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: first game, but in his two meetings against the Panthers

792
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: last year he had ten catches a hundred and fifty

793
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: one yards and then eight catches a hundred and twenty

794
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: one yards and a touchdown. He has the best matchup

795
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,919
Speaker 1: with slot corner Corn Elder. The dude's name is Corn Corn.

796
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: So I like god when the most of these three,

797
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,720
Speaker 1: but we gotta see what happens with all of them healthy.

798
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: So all sees for the Tampa Bay wide receivers over

799
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: to Gronk could give him a B. The Panthers were

800
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: just ripped by Travis Kelsey to the tune of ten

801
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 1: catches and a hundred and fifty nine yards. Travis Kelsey

802
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: used to be called baby Gronk. That's adorable right in

803
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: his day and age. Uh Gronk certainly lesser than Kelsey

804
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: these days, but he should be able to match the

805
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: lines of Darren Waller, Hunter Henry and Hayden Hurst. Those

806
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: three combined to average roughly five catches and fifty yards

807
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: against the Panthers last year. Tom Brady easy be with

808
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: all those weapons. Leonard Fournette might take a chance to

809
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: me running back bench. Ronald Jones Mike Davis is the

810
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: only Panther you can start with confidence. He gets to be.

811
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: He had eight catches for seventy four yards against Tampa

812
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: Bay after Christian McCaffrey got hurt. McCaffrey will miss this game.

813
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: B for Evans just to be for Robbie Anderson fifth

814
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: and targets third and catch this this year. Then you

815
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,240
Speaker 1: got a bench d J Moore, Curtis, Samuel Teddy, Bridgewater.

816
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 1: It is a bad matchup for those guys. DJ more

817
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: like five targets per games. There is enough volume. He's

818
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: got to turn a couple of targets into a long

819
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,439
Speaker 1: game if he wants to get anything done, and that's

820
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: been a problem. Do you people are dropping DJ more outright?

821
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: When we come back? Three tough questions? See if you

822
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: can play along and go three and oh Fantasy Football

823
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: Weekly Returns and Moments. Welcome back, Mannessy Football Weekly, Paul

824
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: Charchi and Matt Harrison. Brian Johnson with you. It is time.

825
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: Four Three tough questions. Tough question Number one? Is t J.

826
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 1: Hockenson the best dynasty and or Empire league tight end

827
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: to own? Brian? So we're in a startup league next year, right,

828
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: That's what we're going with this question exectively. Yes, you know,

829
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: would you trade anybody if you are, if you're a

830
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: t J. Hockenson owner in a dynasty or empire league,

831
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: would you trade anybody for t J. Hockinson any existing

832
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: tight end? Would you tried any tight end? One to one?

833
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: So Ta Hawk turns twenty four in July. Gotta love that.

834
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 1: From a dynasty perspective, here are the other guys are

835
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: threatening him as the top empire tight end Dynasty Empire

836
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: tight end Travis Kelsey thirty two in October, Darren Waller

837
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: twenty nine in September, George Kittle twenty eight in October,

838
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews in September, Noah Fanse former teammates of t J.

839
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: Hockinson at IOWA twenty three in November. So I like

840
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: Hockinson from the age perspective, but I still think you

841
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: can get through three or four years with Darren Waller,

842
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 1: maybe even Travis Kelsey or George Kittle. And don't forget

843
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: the incoming rookie tight end class is absolutely insane, led

844
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: by Kyle Pitts, who will all get to know very soon.

845
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 1: So long story short, Hopkinson is not my top target

846
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: at tight end because you can make do with some

847
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: of the older guys who are gonna outproduce him in

848
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: the near future because Hockinson is not seeing enough targets.

849
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: So no, no, he's not your top. So I'm not

850
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: sure what making do has to has to do with this,

851
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: But okay, I mean you could start your Dynasty team

852
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: with someone else and I don't need to rely on

853
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:36,240
Speaker 1: Hopkinson for eight years. I know he's young, but he's different.

854
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: To go out and get him based on his age alone,

855
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. So he's not the best tight

856
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: end to own. Somebody else is the best guy end

857
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: to own? Basically all those other guys I talked about,

858
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: no a fan everybody else? You'd rather most guys? Yeah, okay,

859
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: let's move on. I don't even know what question you

860
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: just answered. The other options I had to Hockinson the

861
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: best Dynasty or Empire League tight end to own, So

862
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: I thought Travis Kelsey, George Kittle, and Mark Andrews were

863
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: the only other ones that I think I'd consider above Hockinson.

864
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm gonna put Hockinson above Andrews barely because

865
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: it seems like Lamar Jackson's passing limitations maybe somewhat real,

866
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: and I'm a little bit afraid of Mark Andrews being

867
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: so touchdown dependent. Uh. You could make a case for

868
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: him above Kittle solely based on the quarterback situation. It's

869
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: not the injury, it's the QB. Jimmy g Is he

870
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 1: the answer next year? Are we sure? Probably not? Then?

871
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: What then? What's passing to George Kittle next year? But

872
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: I can't put him there. I can't put him at

873
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,720
Speaker 1: number two, and I can't put him above Travis Kelsey.

874
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: He just turned thirty one. He's got the best quarterback

875
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: in the league. He's probably noticed. How do you know

876
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: what's how Brian has at his age. He's thirty two

877
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: in October. Yeah, it's November, November. I have reason to

878
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: believe right now, if you're the next year, then uh,

879
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: he might have the best quarterback in the history of

880
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: the game. It's still Travis Kelsey as the best tight

881
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: end in dynasty. Uh. It is Travis Kelsey, who's got

882
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: two or three more elite years in him and then

883
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: probably like another four more really good years after that.

884
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: And I want to win this year too. I mean,

885
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I'm worried about but not a lot.

886
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:22,399
Speaker 1: I'd like to win one. That would be kind of nice.

887
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: And really the clincher here for me is just this.

888
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: I can't tell you who t J. Hockenson's quarterback is

889
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,959
Speaker 1: going to be next year. If I knew, if he had,

890
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 1: if he had a young, promising quarterback, I think it

891
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 1: would be t J. Hockenson. I think he's got a

892
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: sure it's gonna be Matthew Stafford. I don't know. I mean,

893
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,439
Speaker 1: I think I get the feeling that any year could

894
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: be Stafford's last, or he just is like, you know what,

895
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm done with this because that's what was right. And

896
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: he's old, He's taken a million hits. At some point

897
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna walk away. That worries me. Tough. Question Number two,

898
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb is expected to return to the Browns on Sunday.

899
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: Going forward, is Kareem Hunt and RB one, r B

900
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: two flex or bench player Matt We begin with you.

901
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: Stats Wise, he's the number eight ranked running back in

902
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 1: most UH systems right now, so that makes him an

903
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,760
Speaker 1: RB one right now without Chubb for most of the season.

904
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 1: Chubb's a really good player, will probably be the high

905
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: end of the sixty split. But this is a Kevin

906
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: Stefanski run heavy, passed to the back scheme without Odell Beckham,

907
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: so I think he's going to stay very involved. Last year,

908
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: in the games where both he and Chubb played, Hunt

909
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: averaged about fifty eight yards about five receptions per game,

910
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: pitched in a touchdown and every other That's good enough

911
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: for a flex. But I see him as a slightly

912
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: better version of what he was last year this year,

913
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna give him an RB two the rest

914
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: of the RB two. All right, Brian, is Kareem Hunt

915
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: going forward now that Nick Chubb is healthy and RB

916
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: one r B two flex or punch? Yeah, we saw

917
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: this last year when they're both healthy, and it was

918
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: a flex floor for Hunt. And it's the third easiest

919
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 1: remaining schedule for running backs that Cleveland has. So I'm

920
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: with Matt, I'm going RB two. Uh. When Chubb was

921
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 1: healthy for the three full games at the beginning of

922
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: the year, Kareem Hunt was RB twelve overall in those

923
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: three games. He's too good. He's just playing too good

924
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: to be completely factored out of the offense. That's it.

925
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: You know what's been really weird about Hunt. If they're

926
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: not throwing to him. I'm like, this is the obvious

927
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 1: thing to do with him is throw him the ball,

928
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: and they just they're not his His receiving numbers have

929
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: been strangely light. Um, it's a mixed schedule going forward

930
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: for Kareem Hunt and the rest of the Browns, but

931
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: only one stopper game left on the schedule, that's Baltimore

932
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 1: Week fourteen. He'll be an RB two the rest of

933
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: the way. Now, before we get to tough question, number three.

934
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 1: To help make sense of it a little bit, I'd

935
00:50:52,239 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 1: like to preface this with an explanation of the sabotage draw. Brian,

936
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 1: will you tell listeners what the sabotage drop is. It's

937
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: essentially dropping a big name player that will because I'll

938
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,760
Speaker 1: ruckus on the free agent waiver wire. But he's garbage.

939
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: He's garbage moving forward, he's fool's gold. That's right, and

940
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,479
Speaker 1: you got you gotta do it right before a big

941
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: waiver period as well or a good matchup. You can't.

942
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't sabotage dropped like on the weekend

943
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 1: because somebody. You need somebody to pay something to make

944
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: to pick up that player. You can't just get rid

945
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 1: of the worst player on your roster. We want you

946
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: to have to use a high waiver claim, spend a

947
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: bunch of fab on this player. That's the key to

948
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: the sabotage drop. And that's your backdrop for this tough question.

949
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: Number three. If Ronald Jones flops this week against the Panthers,

950
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 1: should fantasy managers sabotage drop him? Brian, Yes, and I

951
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: would almost do it before the Panthers games. Again, man,

952
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: you can't do it. On the weekend because nobody has

953
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,280
Speaker 1: to pay anything to make the pickup. It's not a sabotage.

954
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: People could the people are using waiver wire priority incorrectly. Anyway,

955
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: I'll say yes after the Carolina game. I don't like

956
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: him going into this game. Mentioned earlier, Leonard Fournett over

957
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 1: the last three weeks has out snapped Jones two x.

958
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: During that same three week span, Jones has dropped four passes.

959
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: That's a lot, especially for running back. He has managed

960
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: sixty six yards on twenty three carries. That's two point

961
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,760
Speaker 1: eight seven yards per carry. And he had a costly

962
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 1: fumble against the Giants a couple of weeks ago that

963
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: almost costs him the game. And when you go in

964
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:42,720
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians doghouse, you're not coming out anytime soon. Leonard Fournett,

965
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: barring injury, will be the lead back for the Bucks.

966
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 1: This is a pass first, team first and foremost. So yes,

967
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: sabotage drop Ronald Jones whenever you want, my mind, don't

968
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: not whenever you want to do it. If you're a

969
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: waiver wire prioritially do it now. Okay, never mind waivers

970
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 1: already Ran, You're right charge My bat Matt too is

971
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:11,240
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones a sabotage drop if he doesn't perform against

972
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: the Panthers. I was gonna say, to Brian's point, getting

973
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: out of bruce Arians doghouse is only as long as

974
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: it takes for somebody else to get in, because last

975
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: year the Bucks didn't have a running back who led

976
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:30,439
Speaker 1: the team in touches in three consecutive weeks. Running back

977
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 1: only did it two weeks in a row, and then

978
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 1: they switched and he was losing out on touches to

979
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber last year. Also to Brian's point, it doesn't

980
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: need to be a sabotage drop. You can just drop

981
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: him because he sucks. And how about this, the sabotage

982
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 1: drop might be Leonard four Net. You don't want anything

983
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 1: to do with this Buck's running game. If you sabotage

984
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,479
Speaker 1: drop Leonard four Net after a few weeks or after

985
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: a great week against Carolina, that's gonna cause the ruckus

986
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: on your waiver wire right there. If you don't want

987
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 1: anything to do with this Bucks running game, you sabotage

988
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 1: drop Leonard four Nett. So yes, don sabotage away, dude, Okay, alright,

989
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: vain He's like, oh my God, I guys can't answer

990
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: the question. They're so tough, clearly says after he flops

991
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 1: against the Panthers, Once you do drop him, Brian now said,

992
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: he's clearly gonna flop against If he flops against the Panthers,

993
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna For four straight weeks, Ronald Jones has seen

994
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: as rushing attempts and rushing yards dropped. He's been out

995
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: snapped by four NET in every game since four NET

996
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: returned from injury. That's said, And you guys have touched

997
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: on this. Bruce arians completely inscrutable with his running backs.

998
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: And even if Ronald Jones has a great game here

999
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: and he outproduces Leonard Fournette, you couldn't even feel safe

1000
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: put him in your your line up. The next week,

1001
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna be on your bench wing he does have

1002
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 1: the great game too. Every time you start Ronald Jones,

1003
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:09,879
Speaker 1: you are bracing for a two point game. So you're

1004
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: all that together we are sabotage dropping him. This is

1005
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: the last chance, far as I'm concerned. And then the

1006
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 1: sabotage drop is a very real thing that's headed his way.

1007
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 1: Let's work in one more matchup into this segment. I

1008
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: believe we left off on forty Niners taking on the Saints.

1009
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: Matt for the forty Niners, we get Nick Mullins at

1010
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: the Helm have a presumably Jerick McKinnon led running game.

1011
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: I think so yeah maybe, Um so Nick Mullins. I'm

1012
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: gonna start by giving him a bench grade. Last week

1013
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: against Tom Brady was the first time the Saints did

1014
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 1: not allow multiple passing scores in a game. But I

1015
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: actually thought about him as might take a chance on

1016
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Um. They still rank as one of the

1017
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: better past defenses in the game. Unless it's garbage time.

1018
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 1: I don't think you can trust Mullins for any points here,

1019
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: although Mullins kind of sounds like a cock word for garbage.

1020
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: Maybe so maybe it's Mullen's time. Yeah, I still on

1021
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: the bench. I don't even know again, no idea what

1022
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: you're talking about. He does get Brandon Ayuk back this week,

1023
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: and it looks like Kendrick Borne may clear COVID protocol

1024
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: before the game. But the Saints matchup I think is

1025
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: just too tough. Um, with the wide receivers, I'll give

1026
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: a Yuka. See, I'm gonna leave Kendrick Borne and Richie

1027
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: James on the bench. Mullins has targeted no player more

1028
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: than Ayuk this season. He missed last week after a

1029
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: close contact tested positive on the Niners. Ayuk was never sick,

1030
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,720
Speaker 1: though Born did test positive. The team thinks it maybe

1031
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: false positives though, and he might play this weekend. Okay

1032
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,879
Speaker 1: either way. The Saints are a strange break but don't

1033
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 1: bend defense. They have allowed the seventh fewest receptions to

1034
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: the position, but a robust a hundred and seventy one

1035
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 1: yards per game and the eighth most wide receiver touchdowns.

1036
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna leave Ross Dwelly and Jordan Read on the bench,

1037
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: uh and Jerick McKinnon and Jamichael Hasty. Hasty can be

1038
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: cut now. He's only he only saw fifteen s apps

1039
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: and six touches compared to forty two snaps in fifteen

1040
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: touches for McKinnon last week. It doesn't matter now watch

1041
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna flip it. Maybe, wouldn't it be? It would

1042
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 1: be so Shannahanigans, It would be so shannahanigans. Just flip

1043
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 1: the script and go all hasty now that everybody's forgotten

1044
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: about him and given up, McKinnon should be on your bench, though,

1045
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: as the Saints are allowing only seventy rushing yards per

1046
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 1: game to the position and only three point six yards

1047
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: per carry. Let's go to the Saints side where I'm

1048
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: giving Drew Brees a kind of a throwback A grade here.

1049
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: He's got Michael Thomas back and the forty Niners have

1050
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: been absolutely torched as of recent Aaron Jones or Aaron Jones,

1051
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and Russell Wilson each throw four touchdown passes

1052
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,439
Speaker 1: against the Niners in the last two weeks, and two

1053
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: of the three quarterbacks before them tossed multiple scores as well.

1054
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 1: They're so incredibly injured throughout the entire defense that it's

1055
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: just not the same. Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara, they're

1056
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: both getting A grades as well. Even though Thomas didn't

1057
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 1: have a huge game last week against the Bucks, he

1058
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,439
Speaker 1: did co lead the team and targets and receptions with

1059
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: Alvin Uh. We're not going as far as Latavious Murray

1060
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: in this one, as the Niners have been pretty stout

1061
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: against the run. Still, Uh, Kamara is just too versatile

1062
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: to hold down. A couple more guys. I want to

1063
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 1: mention tray Kwan Smith. He gets a C grade. Secondary

1064
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: receivers as such as Marquez Valdez, Scandling, David Moore, and

1065
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds have each scored against the Niners in the

1066
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 1: last month, and tray Kwan Smith's worth a dart throw

1067
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: just for that. Jared Cook gets a C grade as well.

1068
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: He's totally touchdown dependent at this point, and the Niners

1069
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: have only given up two tight end touchdowns on the season.

1070
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: But still Cook is top twelve among tight ends in receptions,

1071
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns per game. And if you have him

1072
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: on your roster, you're probably starting him. You probably don't

1073
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 1: have another tight end option. Yeah, that's a which, but

1074
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: that's everybody right now. Yeah, you know half two thirds

1075
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: of the league is bracing for a zero zero point

1076
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: game out of their tight end. Yeah, you're just looking

1077
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,959
Speaker 1: for tight end touchdowns. Now, John Who? John Who? Runs

1078
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: in a touchdown and you're like, oh, thank god, I

1079
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: got I got something out of it. Does nothing else? Yes, Well,

1080
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: they threw him a bunchtimes and he was covered and

1081
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: none of them, none of them ended up working. Very frustrating.

1082
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: Let's let's take a break. When we come back, Seattle

1083
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: takes on the Rams and an epic matchup between dk

1084
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: Metcalf and Jalen Ramsey in this game. We'll tell you

1085
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: about that. And is this the explosive Tyler Locket that

1086
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: once a month explosive Tyler Lockett game. We'll talk about

1087
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: that too when we come back. Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome

1098
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: Just don't be last. That's all it takes. Yeah. Near

1099
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 1: death experiences are fine, they are. And I've I've had.

1100
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: I got one of my leagues. I've had four near

1101
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: death A second to bottom team. Yeah, and that team

1102
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: has a j Brown and is one catch on Thursday

1103
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: night going. It sounds like another near death experience for

1104
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: that'd be a best case scenario. Credit him with two

1105
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: drops some that long touchdown that it should have been

1106
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 1: I was half jumped out of my couch and then no. Anyway,

1107
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: Seattle takes on the Rams. Let's begin with Russell Wilson,

1108
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 1: who gets in a grade here. The Rams are a

1109
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: good defense. The Rams have held six of eight opposing

1110
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to zero or one passing touchdown. But Wilson's just unbenchable.

1111
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: So you know, no matter what the stats say, no

1112
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 1: matter anything else he's on, he's m v P pace

1113
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 1: and I still have an A grade on Russell Wilson.

1114
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: Let's talk about his matchup with DK metcalf It's fascinating.

1115
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: So Metcalfe saw a bunch of elite cornerback T Davious

1116
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: White last week, and when White was on him, White

1117
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 1: held him to three catches and thirty yards. But then

1118
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: White gets knocked out of the game and they feed

1119
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: metcalf a bunch and he ends up with a big game,

1120
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: but it didn't come when term Davious White was on him.

1121
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 1: Here comes another shut down cornerback, Jalen Ramsey, who was

1122
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 1: allowing twenty seven yards per game in his coverage. That's all,

1123
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: but on Friday, Ramsey said he's going to cover DK

1124
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 1: Metcalf and he's gonna cover everybody else too, So it

1125
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 1: sounds a lie if we believe he's going to cover

1126
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 1: multiple receivers at the same time. Play I got all

1127
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 1: of it. He's like, Fred Smoot, you know how to

1128
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: shut down Metcalf. He really shut down DK Metcalf. Just

1129
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 1: put three cones right in front of him. Okay, thank you. Wow.

1130
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: Some people can't get over the combine. Just nothing he

1131
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: can do. Um, so you it's and Ramsey could just

1132
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: be lying, right, I mean, do you do you are

1133
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: you gonna believe any player is gonna say anything publicly

1134
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: that actually Friday before a game? Then actually is any

1135
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: bearing on what's really gonna happen? Probably not. So point

1136
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 1: is it's an A grade for DK Metcalf because he's

1137
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: too good to not give an a grade to anything

1138
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: could happen. Maybe Ramsey doesn't go for And by the way,

1139
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Ramsey doesn't usually go to the slot, and Metcalf does

1140
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: run a fair amount from the slot, so it's another

1141
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: way he can shake Ramsey a grade of Metcalf. So

1142
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: what about Tyler Lockett? Then he's been held under forty

1143
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: five scoreless yards in four of the last six games,

1144
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 1: so if he doesn't give you the explosive game, Lockett

1145
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 1: is killing you. Los Angeles is averaging the fewest allowed

1146
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: yards to receivers, just one four per game, and have

1147
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 1: only allowed four receivers to find the end zone all

1148
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 1: year long. Lock It should mostly avoid Ramsey, instead matching

1149
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 1: up with slot cornerback Troy Hill. The boast often, but

1150
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: Hill's really good. He hasn't allowed to touch down all season.

1151
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: The only angle here is that Hills a lot slower

1152
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: than lock It and could be on the wrong end

1153
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: of a long pass, but that's just a C grade

1154
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: for Locket. This feels way more dangerous than it does

1155
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 1: positive for Tyler Lockett um staying with the passing no

1156
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 1: moving over to the running game, and then you don't

1157
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 1: want to start any other secondary tertiary receivers. For Seattle,

1158
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: let's talk about Chris Carson, presuming he goes here, might

1159
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: see fewer carries due to the knee injury. Over the

1160
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: last five games, the Rams haven't allowed to single back

1161
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 1: to top sixty five rushing yards and have only allowed

1162
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 1: one touchdown. It was the Miles Gaskin all the way

1163
01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 1: I'll by the way, that's over the last five games.

1164
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: It's a long time. Carson's average total yards per game

1165
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:06,479
Speaker 1: against the Rams throughout his career, and for the most part,

1166
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 1: any game that Carson starts and finishes, he's awfully good.

1167
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: In a B grade for Carson. If he does not go,

1168
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: then DJ Dallas likely gets all the work here and

1169
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: he's just not good. So he would be a C

1170
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 1: grade and a dart throw at best in a tough matchup. Um,

1171
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 1: it does not appear that well. I can just say

1172
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 1: carlos IDE's not going in this game, so it would

1173
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: go back to d J Dallas in all probability. All right,

1174
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 1: so let's go to the ramp side. I'm worried Sean

1175
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 1: McVeigh is too smart for his own good. All you

1176
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: have to do to beat Seattle is a band in

1177
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 1: the running game and just pass all the time. Last week,

1178
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills rolled the Seattle defense

1179
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 1: because they only handed off the ball eleven times in

1180
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 1: the entire game. All the rest of it were past plays.

1181
01:04:56,440 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: So will Sean McVeigh je throw the ball or is

1182
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: he gonna have to be too smart and try something else?

1183
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: Established the rune on don't do it, don't do it.

1184
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: Let's hope that's not the case here, And based on that,

1185
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 1: I've got Jared Goff with an A grade. I know,

1186
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: I never thought it would happen. Jared Goff through the

1187
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 1: ball sixty one times last week. I'd like to see

1188
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 1: that happen again here. Even if let's go fine, Seahawks

1189
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: are allowing a league worse three or seventy seven passing

1190
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 1: yards per game, a pace that and on paste to

1191
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 1: shatter the all time in competency record. Every opposing quarterback

1192
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: has scored multiple touchdowns against the Seattle Seahawks. Cooper Cup

1193
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: gets an A grade, Robert Wood gets Woods gets an

1194
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 1: A grade for all of the same reasons that you

1195
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 1: already know, and cut by the way, has pounded this

1196
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,800
Speaker 1: team in the past anyway, So a great opportunity for

1197
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 1: both Cup and Woods and Josh Reynolds was might take

1198
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 1: a chance on me a wide receiver, and you can

1199
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 1: use him in a pinch as well. Let's go to

1200
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: Darrell Henderson, who gets a C grade. He's coming off

1201
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 1: his lowest usage game since Week one. He got out

1202
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 1: snapped by both Malcolm Brown and Cam Akers and the Rams. Really,

1203
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 1: if I have my choice, they won't even run the

1204
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: ball in this game. Aside from being trampled by the

1205
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota Backs, Seattle hasn't allowed to single back over fifty

1206
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: six rushing yards and they're allowing the third fewest rushing

1207
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 1: yards per game to the position. He's not much of

1208
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: a pass catcher, and the only reason I have a

1209
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: segret and Darrell Henderson is I think he finds his

1210
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 1: way to about fifties scoreless yards, and that's about all

1211
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: you get when you get a C grade. Nobody else

1212
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 1: left to talk about on the Rams, including their tight ends,

1213
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: who I do not trust in this game. Unless it

1214
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: turns out that either Higbie or Everett does not go

1215
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 1: in this game, then you could flip to the other one.

1216
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 1: But I think both are gonna play. All right, Let's

1217
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 1: go to our next matchup, which is the Bengals taking

1218
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 1: on the Steelers. Brian, this is a tricky matchup to

1219
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: me in that the Steelers are Pro Football focus is

1220
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 1: best pass rushing defense and the Bengals offensive line just stinks.

1221
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:01,720
Speaker 1: Yeahs with Joe Burrow, then it's gonna give him a C.

1222
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 1: He's gonna take some hits in this game, but he's

1223
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 1: gonna air it out to No quarterback has topped two

1224
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: touchdown passes against the Steelers this year, but every opposing

1225
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 1: quarterback has scored at least once, and even Garrett Gilbert

1226
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: posted Fantasy relevant numbers against the Steelers. Yes, borrow north

1227
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 1: of forty past stemps for games, past dempsper games. So

1228
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: we've got to give him a C here. I'm not

1229
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: going to give a C to Tyler Boyd, especially on

1230
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: his birthday Sunday B for the birthday boy Boyd had

1231
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 1: one oh one receiving and a touchdown in his most

1232
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: recent matchup with Pittsburgh. That was last year. This is

1233
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 1: their first meeting, by the way, these two teams. He

1234
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 1: has total three touchdowns in his last three games against

1235
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers as well, Boyd averaging nine targets seven catches.

1236
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 1: Basically unbeenchable at this point. If Boyd is a Birthday

1237
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 1: B and he's our favorite B grade, we've got what

1238
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 1: we we have our favorite A grade his the Fantasy

1239
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: yard Park. What's what do you mean? We're still we're

1240
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 1: still working out the details of their fight to the

1241
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:16,360
Speaker 1: death between an art park. Carry on, our favorite it's

1242
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 1: gonna be at us. I'm pretty sure this kind of

1243
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 1: thing we do. We need more animals, Beyonce. I'm trying

1244
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:28,719
Speaker 1: to find another animal in the show. Continue Brian plus

1245
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 1: matchup for birthday boy Tyler Boyd against safety Cameron Sutton,

1246
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 1: who man's this lot for Pittsburgh allowed a season high

1247
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: sixty six yards and his coverage last week. So do

1248
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: not bench Tyler Boyd, and don't bench Te Higgins or

1249
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 1: A J. Green either, and give them both a sea. Shockingly,

1250
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh has surrendered the ninth most fantasy points and the

1251
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:49,640
Speaker 1: third most touchdowns to wide receivers this year. Higgins and

1252
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,680
Speaker 1: Green both in wide receiver three territory. This week, I

1253
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 1: will mention this is A J. Green's first game against

1254
01:08:54,800 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's October. Oh you know, in Italy in October and

1255
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: they found a beaver for the first time in six

1256
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 1: hundred years. I heard that on some other show. It

1257
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 1: certainly wasn't about fantasy football. The lastly, for the Bengals,

1258
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: Geo Bernard, you gonna give him the c Joe Mixon

1259
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 1: not looking like he will play Pittsburgh has Pittsburgh has

1260
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 1: only allowed five rushing touchdowns, but in the last two games,

1261
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 1: Zeke and Tony Pollard combined for a hundred eight yards

1262
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 1: on the ground. The week before, Gus Edwards and j

1263
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 1: K Dobbin Dobbins combined for two hundred rushing yards on

1264
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:30,599
Speaker 1: thirty one carries. So Bernard is startable. There's not much

1265
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 1: angle from a passing game perspective here. The Steelers have

1266
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 1: allowed just one receiving touchdown to running backs this year,

1267
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: and only see Kwon Barkley, remember him has caught more

1268
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:43,560
Speaker 1: than two passes at the running back position against the Steelers,

1269
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:45,759
Speaker 1: and that was in Week one. So just to see

1270
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 1: for geo Bernard over to the Steeler side, we'll start

1271
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:52,639
Speaker 1: with Ben Roethlisberger and give him a see it might

1272
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 1: be for Covid. I don't know. Yeah, well, we'll see

1273
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 1: if he works. I think I think he plays in

1274
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,679
Speaker 1: this game. We're gonna assume he plays in this one.

1275
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: I did a little I did a little Ben Roethlisberger

1276
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: recon this past week. He has become a check down quarterback.

1277
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 1: He is. He has the second lowest UH intended air

1278
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 1: yards and the second lowest I think third maybe it's

1279
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 1: third lowest average distance of pass I mean depth of

1280
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 1: four point five yards per completion. He's Teddy Bridgewater bar

1281
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 1: for Worthy for sure. Thirty percent of his passes of

1282
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 1: twenty plus yards are more are going for completions awful. Yes,

1283
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:35,719
Speaker 1: the explosiveness is gone. It really it is. It's gone.

1284
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 1: But basically every quarterback cobbles together two passing touchdowns against

1285
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: the Bengals, right, But sadly that's Ben's ceiling in this one,

1286
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 1: although it is to be expected based on the Bengals

1287
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 1: being the Bengals. So a CEE for Roethlisberger, but keep

1288
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: your on him in case he doesn't play over his receivers.

1289
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,800
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster gonna give him a B. He has

1290
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 1: UH scored ind or logged a hundred yards and two

1291
01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 1: of his last three meetings against Cincinnati and should be

1292
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:03,599
Speaker 1: in line for similar success against slot corner Lashawn Simms,

1293
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 1: who's allowed four scores in his last five games, So

1294
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:10,240
Speaker 1: would be for Juju just to see for Deonta Johnson

1295
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: and Chase Claypool though it's a tough matchup against UH

1296
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,720
Speaker 1: cornerback William Jackson for the Bengals, but Jackson can't cover

1297
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 1: both of these guys, and opposing boundary receiver duos have

1298
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 1: had recent success against the Bengals, uh Corey Davis and A. J.

1299
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 1: Brown both scored. Davis went over a hundred yards and

1300
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: then the week before Richard Higgins topped a hundred yards

1301
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:34,799
Speaker 1: and Donovan People's Jones at fifty plus yards and a touchdown.

1302
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 1: So I will start both Deonte Johnson and Chase Claypool

1303
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 1: with a C. Will also start Eric Ebron. He gets

1304
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 1: a B. The Bengals have allowed the seventh most receptions

1305
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:47,439
Speaker 1: and third most yards and touchdowns to opposing tight ends.

1306
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,639
Speaker 1: At one point they allowed six touchdowns to tight ends

1307
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 1: and three games in a three game span. And Eric

1308
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:56,759
Speaker 1: Ebron has already scored against the Bengals as a Lion

1309
01:11:57,320 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 1: and a cult and it's coming as a steel oh

1310
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: B for Ebron. And lastly, James Conner. James Conner gets

1311
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,680
Speaker 1: to be. Cincinnati has let running backs rack up a

1312
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:11,040
Speaker 1: whopping five point four yards per carry. They have only

1313
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 1: allowed two scores to the position over the last seven games.

1314
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 1: But you basically have to start James Conner and hope

1315
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 1: he sees the bell cal volume, but be warned he

1316
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 1: normally doesn't. He has topped sixteen carries just four times

1317
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:27,800
Speaker 1: in his last twenty three games Matt The Bills take

1318
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals, Josh Allen coming off an explosive game

1319
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,960
Speaker 1: after being after having no touchdown passes and two straight

1320
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:36,719
Speaker 1: The Cardinals look good on paper, but they have faced

1321
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 1: some bad quarterbacking. Yeah, what do you think? UM? Vegas

1322
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:43,599
Speaker 1: certainly thinks that they're going to have a high scoring

1323
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 1: game implied totals of twenty eight for both teams in

1324
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 1: this one, So Josh Allen's getting an A in this one.

1325
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 1: Similarly built Russian quarterbacks like Russell Wilson and Tua have

1326
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: faced the Cards over the last two weeks. Wilson had

1327
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:00,599
Speaker 1: three eight and three with another eighty four run shing yards,

1328
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,120
Speaker 1: to oh was to forty eight and two with thirty

1329
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 1: five rushing yards. And I think tah is a very

1330
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: safe floor for Alan, but I think he'll have more

1331
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 1: rushing yards than that. Uh, Stefan Diggs gets an A grade,

1332
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:15,639
Speaker 1: He'll get Patrick Peterson, but that's not as scary anymore. UM.

1333
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:19,440
Speaker 1: What is scary that is that slot receivers have absolutely

1334
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 1: torched the Cardinals, which is why Cole Beasley is getting

1335
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 1: a very solid B and just the last month, Tyler

1336
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:28,839
Speaker 1: Lockett went for two hundred yards and three scores. Jamison

1337
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 1: Crowder had eight for one sixteen in a score, so

1338
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 1: Beasley's full. All systems go right here. I like it.

1339
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 1: Even John Brown gets a C grade. He had eleven

1340
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 1: targets last week against Seattle and came up with eight

1341
01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 1: catches for ninety nine yards and was taggled at the

1342
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 1: one yard line, which really would have gave him, you know,

1343
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 1: a touchdown plus the one yard bonus on DraftKings. I

1344
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 1: wonder if that affected anybody's lineups out there. Nobody, nobody

1345
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 1: at all. It's also a revenge game for John Brown.

1346
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:58,600
Speaker 1: By the way, Hey, there we go back when he

1347
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 1: was smoke. Now he's just fire wo Zack Moss and

1348
01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary single Arry is on the bench until further notice.

1349
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 1: He had two carries for one yard last week. He

1350
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 1: didn't get three catches for thirty three yards. Well, Zack

1351
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 1: Moss only had eleven touches last week. He did gain

1352
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: more yardage and score a touchdown. Moss led the snap

1353
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 1: count thirty eight to thirty one, so I'll give him

1354
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 1: a C grade. The cards are a decent matchup, allowing

1355
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:25,640
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty two total yards per game to

1356
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:29,160
Speaker 1: the position. I just worry that single Tarry takes that,

1357
01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 1: so Moss is just a See Kyler Murray gets an

1358
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 1: easy A grade, we don't need to talk about him.

1359
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,800
Speaker 1: And on pace, I saw this, this a story that

1360
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 1: emerged about Kyle Kyler Murray this week. He's on a

1361
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 1: a higher scoring pace this year then Lamar Jackson was

1362
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: last year, and you know that was like, you know

1363
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 1: the story of the story of the season last year.

1364
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:54,560
Speaker 1: Murray's like I think RB four right now and l

1365
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: Jackson was like RB eight nine last year. Well, he's

1366
01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 1: out out pacing him as crazy. To that point, the

1367
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:03,799
Speaker 1: Bills have allowed rushing touchdowns to Russ Cam Tannehill Goff,

1368
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:07,879
Speaker 1: and Kyler's averaging one rushing touchdown per game. DeAndre Hopkins

1369
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 1: is an a uh. He's literally alternated huge games with

1370
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 1: subpar yardage games all season. Over his last four one

1371
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: in a score, then seventy three, then one oh one

1372
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,519
Speaker 1: on a score. Last week he only had thirty. He's

1373
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 1: going over a hundred yards this week. He won't get there.

1374
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: He will be beyond trade as White. But I think

1375
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins wins that matchup. Christian Kirk won't get trade

1376
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 1: Avious White. He gets a B grade. He's leading the

1377
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:37,760
Speaker 1: team in infrared zone target share, garnering garnering thirty six

1378
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,680
Speaker 1: percent of the targets inside the ten, and coming up

1379
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 1: with four touchdowns from inside the ten this season. Finally

1380
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:47,879
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds. I'm giving him a B grade. It's possible

1381
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:51,520
Speaker 1: that Kenyan Drake returns this week. I think it might happen. Unfortunately,

1382
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 1: if that happens, that might downgrade Edmunds a little bit.

1383
01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:57,800
Speaker 1: But um, I like him. I think he's talented. It's

1384
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:00,599
Speaker 1: a good matchup. Team gives up four point four yards

1385
01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:03,559
Speaker 1: per carrying a hundred and thirty six totally yards. That's good.

1386
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:07,240
Speaker 1: My major concern is he doesn't get any touches inside

1387
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 1: the ten, only one carry on the season. He's getting

1388
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 1: vultured by his own quarterback and Kenyan Drake. That happens unfortunately,

1389
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray eighth and rushing yards. Four guys ahead of

1390
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:20,639
Speaker 1: him have played one whole more game than him. Yeah,

1391
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. It's uh. You know, if you if you

1392
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 1: punted quarterback, You're like, I'm so smart, I'm gonna wait

1393
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 1: on quarterback. You got hammered this year. The strategy this

1394
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:33,440
Speaker 1: year mostly was Russell. You know, those mid range quarterbacks

1395
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 1: have been the way to go for the most part.

1396
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 1: When we come back Premature Speculation. Three players you can

1397
01:16:38,680 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 1: pick up this week that everybody else will be trying

1398
01:16:40,960 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 1: to get next week when we return. Welcome back Fantasy

1399
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:04,600
Speaker 1: Football Weekly Reminder. If you missed any part of this

1400
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 1: show and you would like some advice on who to

1401
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: start at, all of my player rankings available for free

1402
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 1: at gateen leagues dot com gilloteen leagues dot com. This

1403
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 1: is a segment we like to start off with in

1404
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:22,560
Speaker 1: Premature Speculation. These are three players that we believe you

1405
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:24,600
Speaker 1: should pick up now that other people are gonna be

1406
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:26,920
Speaker 1: trying to pick up next week, and they're already on

1407
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:31,679
Speaker 1: your team. Brian, who is your premature Speculation player? Newcomer

1408
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver from the Eagles. His name is al Shan Jeffrey.

1409
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 1: I don't know have you ever heard of him, but

1410
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:39,799
Speaker 1: he will make his season debut this week against the Giants.

1411
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 1: I don't like his prospects a whole lot for this week,

1412
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 1: but moving forward, he's got two great matchups in Cleveland

1413
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 1: and Seattle. Now, Jeffrey only thirty years old, he should

1414
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 1: have some gas, and you would think so should be healthy.

1415
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 1: So if he gets out of the Cleveland Seattle matchups,

1416
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:58,559
Speaker 1: then the next two are Green Bay in New Orleans,

1417
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 1: which is bad Alexander Marshawn Lattimore. But Latimore has been bad,

1418
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 1: not against Mike Givans at least, But if he's seeing

1419
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:10,559
Speaker 1: shadow coverage from those guys, it's a good thing. Because

1420
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 1: he popped off in the two weeks before against Cleveland

1421
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:16,640
Speaker 1: and Seattle, and then in weeks fifteen and sixteen Arizona

1422
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 1: and Dallas for Philly. So if you're a wide receiver,

1423
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 1: stash alshon Jeffrey, see what happens. I'm buying on the

1424
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 1: whole Eagles offense. U Matt your premature speculation player. Let's

1425
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 1: pick up another kind of a retread guy, Alex Smith,

1426
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:35,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback. He gets Detroit this week. I think he's

1427
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 1: gonna do well against Detroit. I gave him a starting grade.

1428
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 1: Let's follow that up with matchups against Cincinnati and Dallas.

1429
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 1: That problem is really good. His only stopper left on

1430
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 1: the schedule is Pittsburgh after that, But then he gets

1431
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 1: Seattle in your semi final week of your fantasy playoffs.

1432
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 1: Week fifteen. You want whoever's going against Seattle in your

1433
01:18:56,920 --> 01:19:00,560
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs, and Alex Smith has one of those schedules.

1434
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:04,080
Speaker 1: That's in a two quarterback league. He's definitely startable in

1435
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:07,639
Speaker 1: those weeks. All right, Well, I'm gonna begin by reiterating

1436
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,120
Speaker 1: the same name we've given three times now, and that's

1437
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:13,439
Speaker 1: Alan Lazard. Go get him. But also let's go to

1438
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:18,599
Speaker 1: a different player. Are you interested? Hey, Matt and Brian,

1439
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 1: are you interested in a running back averaging almost seven

1440
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:26,840
Speaker 1: yards per carry who's getting an increasing workload in three

1441
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 1: straight games. I didn't get the script, but I'll say yes, Okay,

1442
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,559
Speaker 1: good sounds good to me. Let's keep going. He runs

1443
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 1: behind and often injured starter. He plays for a run

1444
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:45,960
Speaker 1: heavy offense on a playoff bound team, and we'll have

1445
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 1: home games in weeks fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen. I'll take

1446
01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 1: three of them. I don't blame you. We're talking about

1447
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:57,040
Speaker 1: Davante Booker, the Las Vegas Raiders, a team that is

1448
01:19:57,080 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 1: playoff bound right now. The play iff the playoffs started today,

1449
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:04,679
Speaker 1: they'd be in He's arguably one of the most important

1450
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 1: handcuffs and fantasy football uh Las Vegas currently one of

1451
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:12,559
Speaker 1: just to g two games over five hundred. They run

1452
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 1: the ball copiously. The seventh most that playoff schedule home

1453
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 1: home home one is the Colts. That is a tough matchup,

1454
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:22,880
Speaker 1: I'll admit that. But then Chargers Miami, you could be

1455
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:25,720
Speaker 1: starting him there. And if Josh Jacobs breaks down this

1456
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 1: year like he did last year, and he's already had

1457
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:32,640
Speaker 1: nagging injuries throughout this season, Davante Booker potentially sitting on

1458
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:35,639
Speaker 1: a nice spot later in the season, get him now.

1459
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Matt, because we'll get to the matchup soon.

1460
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 1: It's a revenge game for you know what. I think

1461
01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 1: it's the old team in the Brown goes correct. The

1462
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:46,759
Speaker 1: Monday Night game is the Vikings taking on the Bears

1463
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook's and obvious A. Obviously the Bears are going

1464
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:53,840
Speaker 1: to sell out to contain Dalvin Cook, but so did

1465
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 1: the last two teams. It didn't matter. You know, you

1466
01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:57,640
Speaker 1: know what the script is. You know you're gonna get

1467
01:20:57,640 --> 01:20:59,800
Speaker 1: a heavy dose of Dalvin Cook, and more often than not,

1468
01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:01,720
Speaker 1: A doesn't make any difference. Now, the Bears did just

1469
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:04,600
Speaker 1: contain Derrick Henry last week, and so there is a

1470
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 1: scenario where they contain Dalvin Cook two But he's still

1471
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:08,960
Speaker 1: in a grade. Let's go to the passing game, which

1472
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 1: has got a lot more interest I think for people.

1473
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:15,320
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins remains an unreliable fantasy play because of his

1474
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:19,080
Speaker 1: low volume, something that's likely to happen on Monday Night,

1475
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:22,800
Speaker 1: but not an absolute lock to happen. Over cousins last

1476
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:28,680
Speaker 1: nineteen games, his line of demarcation is thirty two attempts.

1477
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 1: When he's under thirty two attempts, Kirk cousins average game

1478
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 1: is just two hundred eleven yards and one and a

1479
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:39,879
Speaker 1: quarter touchdowns. But what happens when he's over thirty two attempts?

1480
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:44,599
Speaker 1: He balloons to two eight one yards and almost three

1481
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. If he can go over thirty two attempts.

1482
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 1: The Bears have given up thirty two attempts six times

1483
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:55,160
Speaker 1: this year. Cousins could get there now. He's only thrown

1484
01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 1: over thirty two attempts twice this year. But there is

1485
01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 1: a scenario where it happens here, And if that happens,

1486
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 1: then I tend to like him a little bit more,

1487
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 1: even against a good past defense. Justin Jefferson and Adam

1488
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 1: theland or see grades. Low passing volume is the problem.

1489
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 1: That's plaguing them lately as well, and you add into

1490
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 1: that a good Chicago past defense. The Bears allow the

1491
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:17,639
Speaker 1: fifth few yards to wide receivers, just one hundred forty

1492
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 1: four per game. Jefferson will likely see the better matchup

1493
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:24,879
Speaker 1: more often, and that's against rookie cornerback Jalen Johnson. Feeland's

1494
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:28,680
Speaker 1: got the tougher matchup. That's Kyle Fuller, who's allowing him

1495
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:32,760
Speaker 1: easily thirty yards per game in his coverage. Feeland's historically

1496
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 1: struggled against the Bears, failing to top sixty six yards

1497
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:38,679
Speaker 1: or find the end zone in the team's past seven

1498
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:42,360
Speaker 1: straight games, including by the way, Feeland put up a

1499
01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: six yard game against the Bears in the first meeting.

1500
01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: Even that that's not right. It's first meeting. That is

1501
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:51,719
Speaker 1: not correct. They haven't met this year. I don't believe

1502
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: that's my memories failing me. Um IRV Smith. He's got

1503
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:57,600
Speaker 1: a groin injury, um and you're probably not going to

1504
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:01,360
Speaker 1: know his status before Sunday's kickoff if he gets ruled out.

1505
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:05,639
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph becomes a fascinating places. The Bears really struggled

1506
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 1: against tight ends. But as it stands, right now is

1507
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:09,760
Speaker 1: a Monday night game. You're probably not gonna know either way,

1508
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:11,320
Speaker 1: so I don't think you can count on IRV Smith

1509
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 1: and we really it looks like a game time decision

1510
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:14,760
Speaker 1: on the scrowing injury. All right, let's go to the

1511
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 1: Bear side. Beginning with the passing game. Nick Foles was

1512
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:21,640
Speaker 1: might take a chance on me quarterback. He has a

1513
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:25,559
Speaker 1: C grade in this game. Allan Robinson has an A grade.

1514
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:29,759
Speaker 1: Over the past three games, Robinson has inexplicably seen fewer

1515
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:32,800
Speaker 1: targets than Darnell Mooney and Anthony Miller. But I think

1516
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:36,240
Speaker 1: that change is here. They Chicago's gotta change that. It

1517
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:39,840
Speaker 1: gets a Vikings secondary allowing the fifth most yards to receivers,

1518
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 1: and he's likely as playing on the outside. He's gonna

1519
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:47,560
Speaker 1: see sixth and seventh stringers at cornerback, Chris Boyd and

1520
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 1: Chris Jones. It's gotta be a good game for Allen

1521
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:53,439
Speaker 1: Robinson here. I've got to believe Darnell Mooney is coming

1522
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:55,759
Speaker 1: up in a loven target game and the Bears seemed

1523
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:57,600
Speaker 1: to trust him a lot more now than earlier in

1524
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 1: the season, and this is his easiest matchup of a year.

1525
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 1: He'll get whichever of Chris Boyd and and and Chris

1526
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:06,280
Speaker 1: Jones that Allen Robinson isn't on and then running out

1527
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 1: of the slot. You can even start Anthony Miller. He'll

1528
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:11,160
Speaker 1: go up against Vikings rookie Jeff Gladden, who has allowed

1529
01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:14,360
Speaker 1: four touchdowns in the past three games. A C grade

1530
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 1: on Anthony Miller, a B grade on Darnell Mooney, and

1531
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 1: a B grade on Jimmy Graham. Vikings have only allowed

1532
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 1: three scores to opposing tight ends. However, t J. Hockenson

1533
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 1: found the end zone against them last week. In Minnesota's

1534
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 1: allowing the fourth most yards to opposing tight ends, So

1535
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 1: Graham potentially sitting on a pretty good game here. So

1536
01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:36,000
Speaker 1: let's talk about David Montgomery. Um, he's in the concussion protocol.

1537
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,080
Speaker 1: We think, we don't know. It's just it's too early

1538
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:40,479
Speaker 1: for us to know if he's gonna go or not.

1539
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 1: But even if he can play, there isn't much to

1540
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 1: like about this matchup. Since getting obliterated by Derrick Henry

1541
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:49,400
Speaker 1: in Week three, no back against Minnesota has top seventy

1542
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:52,840
Speaker 1: five rushing yards and only one has scored. They've given

1543
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:55,040
Speaker 1: up nine receptions per game over the last two so

1544
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 1: Montgomery could chip in a little something through the ground.

1545
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:00,720
Speaker 1: But I think that's probably the the way in which

1546
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 1: he can be helpful. All right, let's go to our

1547
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:06,479
Speaker 1: final matchup, and that is the Broncos taking on the Raiders.

1548
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:09,360
Speaker 1: He already told us you like Drew Lock earlier in

1549
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 1: the show, and he has you take a chance, I

1550
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:13,360
Speaker 1: mean quarterback. So let's talk about the running game for Denver.

1551
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 1: By the way, the first meeting between these two division

1552
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:19,479
Speaker 1: rivals of the season, Melvin Gordon and Philip Lindsay get

1553
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 1: both get a c Last week. Gordon out snapped Lindsay

1554
01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:27,400
Speaker 1: six to thirty eight percent, but Lindsay saw more touches. Uh.

1555
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 1: This is one of the worst backfield platoons in all

1556
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:31,840
Speaker 1: of football, but a great matchup for both. Opposing backs

1557
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:34,880
Speaker 1: are averaging four point seven yards per carry and nearly

1558
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: one fifty combo yards per game against the Raiders, who

1559
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 1: just surrendered touchdowns to lack backs. Those are charges running

1560
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:47,120
Speaker 1: backs Klin Blage and Gave Neighbors score touchdown. Gabe Neighbors,

1561
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:49,879
Speaker 1: you said, Gabe Neighbors is a football player who scores

1562
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:54,759
Speaker 1: against He also was on Mr Rogers. Neighbors owns the Raiders.

1563
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:59,439
Speaker 1: The Raiders also placed inside linebacker Corey Littleton on the

1564
01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:03,120
Speaker 1: COVID to Thursday, which would be huge for these backs

1565
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:04,640
Speaker 1: catching the ball out of the backfield. One of the

1566
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:07,519
Speaker 1: best coverage linebackers in the NFL, so keep your eye

1567
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:10,120
Speaker 1: on Corey Littleton. Would also be huge for Noah fense,

1568
01:26:10,160 --> 01:26:11,880
Speaker 1: we'll talk about in a second. I will note quickly

1569
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:14,800
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay, never scored against the Raiders, would be a

1570
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:18,719
Speaker 1: grounder air in his career. He's overdue over to Jerry Judy.

1571
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:20,200
Speaker 1: You can give him a B. Now this is the

1572
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 1: first of many. It's not a revenge game, but it's

1573
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 1: a you should have drafted me instead of Henry Ruggs game. Yes,

1574
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:30,800
Speaker 1: it is so. Jerry Judy certainly motivated for this one

1575
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:34,000
Speaker 1: against the Raiders, who have allowed four different wide receivers

1576
01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 1: to top eighty yards over their last three games. Three

1577
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 1: of those wide receivers also scored a touchdown, so that

1578
01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:43,280
Speaker 1: secondary has been very leaky and for that reason, I

1579
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 1: like Tim Patrick as well, returned from injury last week,

1580
01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 1: played in the snap, saw nine targets. He gets to

1581
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:52,840
Speaker 1: be This game should be a shootout. The over under

1582
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:55,800
Speaker 1: his fifty point five points I mentioned earlier and each

1583
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:59,479
Speaker 1: of Denver's last three games went north of fifty eight points.

1584
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:01,840
Speaker 1: So I like Hatrick a lot here. I want to

1585
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 1: like Noah Fant a lot, but just a little a

1586
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 1: C for him. He's a little banged up, Yeah, the

1587
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 1: ankle injury. He looked, he was clearly hobbled last week

1588
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:11,640
Speaker 1: and now there's no more alack and this is the

1589
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 1: last time I'll mention him. I'm gonna try to pronounce

1590
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 1: his name Albert Oi kuai bunom and not I are

1591
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:21,080
Speaker 1: will not be vulturing Noah Fanse in the red zone.

1592
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 1: But not a great matchup for fans. The Raiders have

1593
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:26,479
Speaker 1: allowed the ninth viewest receptions and yards the tight end position,

1594
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:29,599
Speaker 1: and since Week three the only tight ends to score

1595
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 1: on Vegas where Kelsey and Gronk. Gronk always scores in Vegas,

1596
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:35,760
Speaker 1: by the way, and Fant only had three catches for

1597
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:38,040
Speaker 1: thirty three yards again in the two games against the

1598
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:40,599
Speaker 1: Raiders last year. So just a C for Noah Fanse,

1599
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:42,639
Speaker 1: but not for Drew Lock. He's might take a chance

1600
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 1: on me quarterback. Would slap a be on him if

1601
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:49,160
Speaker 1: I had to over to the Raiders side. Josh Jacobs

1602
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:53,200
Speaker 1: b for him, should see a heavier normal workload this

1603
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:57,360
Speaker 1: week against the Broncos, who have allowed on one combo

1604
01:27:57,439 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown per game to running back over

1605
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:03,719
Speaker 1: their last three. Jacobs had a hundred plus combo yards

1606
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:06,599
Speaker 1: and two rushing touchdowns in his loan game against Denver

1607
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:09,320
Speaker 1: last year, so a B for him, a A for

1608
01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 1: Darren Waller that matchup is not great. The Broncos have

1609
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 1: allowed just two touchdowns to opposing tight ends this year.

1610
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:18,879
Speaker 1: Both of those came in Week one against the Titans,

1611
01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:21,639
Speaker 1: by the way, but Atlantic tight ends did just combined

1612
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:24,599
Speaker 1: for eight catches and seventy four yards, and Waller played

1613
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:27,200
Speaker 1: well against Denver last year, averaging seven catches and ninety

1614
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:30,719
Speaker 1: yards across both matchups. Benching Hunter, Renfro and Nelson Agil

1615
01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:32,719
Speaker 1: are not gonna get into that too much. And lastly,

1616
01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:34,800
Speaker 1: Derek Carr gets a B. Not in love with the

1617
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:37,599
Speaker 1: receiving options as a whole, but he has the individual

1618
01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 1: weapons who spread it around. Denver has allowed three passing

1619
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:43,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns and back to back games. Derek Carr has been

1620
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:46,680
Speaker 1: shockingly competent from a fantasy standpoint. Definitely, yeah, I was.

1621
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:50,040
Speaker 1: That's you know, it's odd to say, and I don't

1622
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 1: think we expected it, but he's uh. He looks like

1623
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:53,840
Speaker 1: a guy that might be able to help out in

1624
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:56,000
Speaker 1: a pinch. If you miss any part of the show,
