WEBVTT - Week 10: It's Too Soon For Turkey! 0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:04.880 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:10.559 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio, 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:14.800 your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:24.120 advice League dot Com. Here's your host. Welcome to Fantasy 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:27.320 Football Weekly, Week number ten. I am Paul Georgian by 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.480 Coast Today or Brian Johnson and Matt Harrison. Hello, gentlemen, 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:35.640 double digit weeks. Let's go double digit weeks. Yeah, it's 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.920 not quite the home stretch, but you know we're getting down. 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:43.440 Is this officially nut cutting time? And who goes around 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:48.920 cutting nuts anyway? I mean, other than like secans or 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.479 something like that. Maybe I don't know, I mean you 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:53.199 cut them. Maybe can't you just eat the whole thing? 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.560 I think that maybe to get the shell off you 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.040 must cut the shell. And so so I mean it, 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:01.600 it's pecan pie season rights, so that means it's so 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:04.240 it's not cutting time to get ready for your pecan pies. 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.559 I'd rather have the pecan pie than the pumpkin pie. Delicious. 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.479 The nutcutter sounds like the horror version of the Nutcracker. 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:15.920 I'd rather go to the Rocky Horror. Over the course 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.640 of the show, you will find nine players upon whom 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.120 you can take a chance. We'll answer three tough questions, 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:25.759 will premature speculation, and we'll break down every game fantasy style, 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:30.039 beginning with the Eagles taking on the Giants. Brian, we're 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.560 finally going to see the Eagles offense. We were promised 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:37.080 in the preseason. It's only taken ten weeks to get here. 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:41.800 But we've got everybody healthy. Unless you're denying Zach existence, 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.400 but yes, So let's start with Miles Sanders, who will 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:48.800 make his return, and more importantly, or is of equal importance. 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.880 Right tackle Lane Johnson should also make his return for 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.320 the Eagles. But I mean give Sanders a cautious be here, 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.320 but there is a upside uh. These teams, by the way, 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.640 played in Week seven, not long ago. We'll we'll reference 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.720 that Matt up for sure. Sanders had not playing that 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.000 first meeting. The Philly Backs, who were led by Boston Scott, 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.440 total six eight rushing yards on sixteen carries and fifty 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:13.040 eight receiving yards on seven catches. That's probably a floor 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.080 for Sanders and this one on paper not a great matchup. Tho, 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.320 the Giants have held the posing running backs to less 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.040 than three point nine yards per carry this year, so 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.959 B for Sanders again, but there is a upside here 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.280 based on volume odd to the past game. I'm gonna 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.520 start with Dallas Goddard, give him a B. The Giants 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.040 have been pretty good against tight ends, allowing allowing these 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.679 seventh fewest catches and fifth fewest touchdowns to the position. 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.240 Goddard has yet to score in four career games against 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:46.480 New York so far. But Dick rod Ricord Richard Rogers, 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.760 back up to the backup Philly tight end, had six 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.560 catches for eighty five yards against these Giants in Week seven, 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.679 So I'm giving Goddard to be Now to the receiving game, 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.280 which is all of a sudden, very muddied. The waters 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.720 are very muddy, too much talent shock full of wide 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:01.920 resus eivers now when they had none. We'll start with 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.600 Travis Fulgum, who has earned the right to be called 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.440 Philly's wide receiver one right now. Did pretty well in 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.000 the first meeting, five catches for seventy three yards, primarily 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.680 draped in James Bradberry throughout that game. The Giants top corner. 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:16.960 But Philly has more weapons now that might take some 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.160 of that burden off Fulgham, so gonna get Fulghum a 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.400 safe sea here as well as Jalen Reagor saw six 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.119 targets in his first game back. That was in Week eight. 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.520 By the way, Philly is coming off thereby scored a 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.880 touchdown in that game. The Giants have surrendered a wide 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:34.200 receiver touchdown in four straight games, and that includes the 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:37.200 Eagles game. The touchdown went to Greg Ward, who was 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.960 the secondary receiver at the time. That is now Jalen Reagor. 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.880 So safe c for Reagor as well, and Alishan. Jeffrey 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.240 is gonna make his season debut. I'm not gonna give 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.080 him a grade here, but we might talk about him 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.040 a little later in the show. And lastly, for Philly, 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:56.320 Carson Wentz bench grade a bench grade for Jef. I 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.880 refused to give Alshan a grade of any kind. That's right, 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.280 especially D. I will not give him. You make you 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.000 make guests every care with al Sean. Give a player 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:11.240 at D on this show. But Carson Wentz be the voices. 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.560 The masses have spoken. They don't want the D. The 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.200 letter grade, the D letter grade. We'll see. I don't 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.440 know I want it. Don't you want it? Man? Frankly, 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.919 you you brought it that YouTube do not matter. Carson 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.720 Wentz not a B or A. D Wins gets a 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:30.920 B three fifty nine and two passing in week seven, 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.760 also added a rushing touchdown this time around. He basically 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.880 has all his weapons back outside of zach ERTs, so 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.200 a safety for Carson Wentz over to the Giant side. 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.040 Not allow to talk about Davante Freeman a k A 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:45.760 DeVante Seamer. You go. He's been placed on I R 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.440 so he will not be playing. So Wayne Gallman and 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.680 Alfred Morris left in the Giants backfield. I got him 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.240 both on the bench though Philly holding opposing backs under 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.599 three point four yards per carry, allowing just a hundred 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.039 and eleven combo yards per game to the position. You 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.800 can go. Gallman if very desperate, but I don't expect 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.880 much from him. Darius Slayton not gonna expect much from 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:06.919 him either. He's on the bench, only two catches for 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.440 twenty three yards in the first meeting. He should see 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.120 a ton of Darius slay again, who has returned to 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.040 for him. So Slayton is on the bench for me, 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.239 but Sterling Shepherd is not. He scored in the first meeting, 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.039 also had six catches for yards, his best game of 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.240 the year, and in the three games since he has 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:26.560 seen double digit targets twice. Golden Tate also scored, but 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.440 he heard his knee scored in the first game, heard 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.640 his knee in practice, and he's in the doghouse because 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.800 of his wife, so he's on the bench. Tate is, 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.400 but Shepherd gets a B. He will be uh in 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.440 the slot where I'll see Nickel Robie Coleman, an old 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.040 friend of the show who was allowing a pass the 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.400 rating of a hundred and twelve in his coverage. And 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.600 the last Giant who gets a starting grade is Evan 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:49.240 Ingram six forty six in the first meeting, basically hit 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.640 his floor there. He's averaging roughly six catches and fifty 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.120 nine yards against the Eagles over his career, who are 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.240 also allowing the third most receptions and touchdowns to tight 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.800 ends this season. So a B for Angram and Daniel 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.479 Jones on the bench. This was the stumble game where 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.479 he fell on that. Yeah, we tackled himself. We're not 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:12.240 gonna rushing yards like he had in the first meeting. 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.360 He did have two passing touchdowns with just a hundred 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.640 and eighty seven yards, but Jones on the bench ye 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.159 and pretty much every week. Unfortunately, I was hoping for 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.799 better this year. Let's move over to the Jaguars taking 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.159 on the Packers. Matt Weather, it could be a serious 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:27.320 issue here this game. If you believe the early forecast, 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.240 it appears this game looks a lot like that Viking 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:33.599 game from two weeks ago where neither team could pass. Yeah, 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.719 and I mean there's still some some pretty good offensive 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.600 numbers put up in that game by running back by 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.960 a few guys. I would like to note randomly, I 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:48.559 went to a Jaguars at Packers game in Lambeau Field 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:52.880 where Byron Leftwich beat the Packers. You're an experts, so 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.159 there's nobody better than me to this matchup right here. 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.240 Let's start with James Robinson of the Jaguars. I'm giving 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.559 him a solid B grade in this one. The Vikings 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.840 showed the recipe for beating the Packers in Lambeau in 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.159 this weather run at them all day long, and since 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.840 Robinson is a clear bell cow averaging twenty one touches 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.760 per game, he's got a shot. The Packers have had 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.320 issues against bell cow running backs every runner who has 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:23.480 had at least sixteen carries against Green Bay has recorded 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:27.120 two touchdowns in a game or more, and Alvin Kamara 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.720 did not hit that number with the rushing attempts, but 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.240 he scored twice through the air against Green Bay in 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.640 a game where he had nineteen touches. So the only 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.560 reason he's not an a the game script just might 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.960 get away from the Jaguars in this one, Jake Lewton, 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.560 although the game script gets away from the Jaguars in 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.240 almost every game, and he's the game script has already 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.600 left the Jaguars. They haven't even got to Green Bay yet. 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:54.160 They are improv there's no script. They're like whose line 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.680 is it? Anyway of the NFL while their points don't matter. 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.680 That's true, uh, Jake Lewton, he's on your bench. Who 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.600 had half to be a really deep two quarterback or 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.160 super flex league to start looting? To his credit, he 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.240 did beat the Texans for three four yards and a 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.120 score last week. But the Packers aren't thrown on a bunch. 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.000 They're averaging only thirty one pass attempts per game, which 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.480 translates to an average of two or fifty yards against 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.120 and just over a passing score. So Luton's on the 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.240 bench and the only receiver of his I'm going to 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.680 give a starting grade two is dj Chark, who only 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.720 gets a C. He's going to get the solo coverage 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:29.000 from JayR Alexander. Although let's know there's a chance Alexander 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.200 doesn't go in this one, and he's shaping up closer 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.640 to a game time decision. Well, that would would help 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:35.920 a little bit help, That might bump him up to uh, 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:41.679 something between a CE something like that. Solid be a 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.920 liquid be. You'd definitely be a liquid be if the 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:49.520 Alexander is out. That is solid B movement for DJR. 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.439 Let's continue. The game script does favor the Packers getting 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.360 up early in this one, and then Chart should see 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.880 double digit targets like he did last week with Luton. 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.760 He converted those into seven catches a hundred and forty 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:02.880 six yards in a score that included a seventy three 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.920 yard touchdown strike. And it was clear if you look 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.439 back at this game, Luton only wanted to throw it 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.160 to Chark. It was like, oh, that's my guy. Okay, 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:16.079 he did throw to one other guy though Chris Conley randomly, uh, 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.600 And there's no consistency from week to week outside of 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:22.680 Chark on this team, Um, everybody's getting to three targets 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.160 except Chris Connley, who had eight targets last And Connley 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.360 is gonna start this game with UM with Laviska out, 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.280 so Conny will be on the field again a lot. 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.120 And he wouldn't see jaire Alexander. You and if Alexander 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.640 goes a little known fact real quick, Chris Connolly, this 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:37.400 is the state of the Jaguars, by the way, is 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:41.160 a captain of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yes, I saw the 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:45.320 patch for myself. What didn't Chris Conley play for Wisconsin. 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.800 It's just I think he did see if that rafted 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.800 by the Chiefs, we know that. I'll look into all right, 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.040 Davante Adams. Let's go over to the other side. He's easily, 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.839 Oh Church, we gotta get the art Vark. Sound so 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.720 owned out because Davante Adams is easily the art Vark 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.960 this week, whether weather permitting. Hey guess what. He scored 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.480 a handful of touchdowns in that game against the Vikings, 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:13.520 weather permitting. So Chris Connelly went to University of Georgia. 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.240 He's also not aren in Wisconsin. He was born in 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:20.000 at in cure Lack Air Base in Turkey, so it's 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.160 not at homecoming. Tricky for him to have the hole. 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:28.360 What if he plays on Thanksgiving in the future, Remember 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:35.240 that is like the ultimate, that's the Thanksgiving game. Wow, 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:39.040 I'm glad. We're glad we got that settled. Uh, Aaron, 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:40.920 we do not have We do not have a turkey 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:46.679 of all the animals that we now have on this thing. No, 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:48.480 we don't have. We do not have a turkey in 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:53.120 the system right now. Brianne is Brianne is feverishly looking 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:57.400 for a feverishly um. Aaron Rodgers is also getting an 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.360 easy A grade. The Jaguars rank dead last in the 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:04.360 league in Football Outsiders passing d v o A. Let's 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.240 talk about his other receivers. Alan Lazard might return this week. 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.960 He's been practicing, but the Packers don't need to activate 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.320 him until next week. And I believe he was Churches 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.440 premature speculation last week correct well, and he was Scott 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.280 Scott Fishes the week before that. He's not gonna play here, 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.960 so use him one more time this week. We could, 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.839 but you probably want to pick him up. He did 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.120 make the trip to San Francisco last week and has 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:29.160 been practicing in a limited fashion. But I imagine that 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.839 the Packers are going to exercise caution. They don't need 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.720 him to beat the Jaguars, you think, And it sounds 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.000 like the plan is not to use Alan Lazard here. Yeah, 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.679 and if he's not active, I think I'd give Marquees 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:44.720 Veldez Scantling a C start dart in this one. That's 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:48.480 the Chris Conley key right there. You know what's going 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.360 to happen next week. Gonna sit down in front of 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:54.960 all of our sounders here and there a turkey. But 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:58.280 we should just label at Chris Conley, all right. Um. 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.480 Robert Touny in he gets a C grade, but he 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.360 was added to the injury report on Friday and was 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.719 very limited in practice with an ankle injury, and he 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.880 basically pitched a goose egg last week. He's done very 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.760 little since Davante Adams return from injury. But I do 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.080 like him this week because the Jags are allowing the 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.240 third most yards and almost a touchdown per game to 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.560 the tight end position. If he doesn't go, I think 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.520 I'd throw a dart at Jace Sternberger. Yeah, let's hope 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.320 Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Let's hope not. 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.640 When we come back, take a chance on me. Nine 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.160 players not normally in your starting lineup. These are all 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.080 guys that you'll want to start this weekend. Many of 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:36.600 them are are going to be available in the waiver 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:38.040 wire for you to pick up if you decide you 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.320 want to go that route. We'll tell you who those 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.640 nine players are when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:12.240 Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Brian Johnson, Matt Harrison with you. 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.280 This is take a chance on me. We begin with 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.720 three quarterbacks available on the waiver wire in most cases 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.520 that you can start. This week. We begin with Brian Johnson. 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.720 I put on for my city Drew Lock again. Baby. 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:26.960 I'm going back to the well came through last week. 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.000 It was it was. It looked bad for a long time. 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.120 Maybe finishes like QV three on the week, So I'll 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:33.880 take it and I have like his chances again this 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.800 week at Las Vegas. Aside from the Raiders Typhoon game 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:39.760 in Cleveland a couple of weeks ago, they've allowed at 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:44.480 least passing yards and multiple touchdowns in four straight games. 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.720 Lock should stay upright for the most part. Vegas is 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:51.120 bottom five in sack percentage and quarterback hit rate, and 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.080 this game should be a shootout. The over under is 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.720 fifty point five, and each of Denver's last three games 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:00.280 went north of eight. Sorry, fifty eight points a lot, 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.160 a hell of a lot, Drew luck. All right, Matt, 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.760 you'll take a chance at the quarterback. What time is it. 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:09.160 It's two o'clock. It's two o'clock. Ye to A looked 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.280 really good against the Cardinals last week. I thought he 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.880 looked good. People, Okay, sorry, I'll take that. I'll take 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.960 that really off. Their hyperbole has gone a little too 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.960 far onto his game. Well, he led the Fins to 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:24.640 the second win and as many starts as a rookie quarterback, 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.880 and they haven't really let him cut loose with the 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.640 offense yet. They've played things pretty simple, close to the vest. 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:32.800 But as he continues to feel comfortable, I think the 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:34.600 Dolphins will feed him more of the playbook. And I 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.920 think that's this week when he plays a Chargers defense 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:41.240 that people think is pretty legit. But they've allowed twenty 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.760 nine points or more in each of their last five games, 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.840 and each of those five quarterbacks has either topped three 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:52.280 yards thrown for multiple scores or both. Plus with both 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.680 of these teams sporting rookie quarterbacks and a severely injured 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:57.960 running game, I think this is one of those air 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:02.240 raid games that to a and air bear go after 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:09.120 each other. That's the one. Oh yeah, baby, Now that's 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:19.040 a real that's a real animal. Listen, turkeys, that's a 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.080 that's the kind of animal. Definitely not a Sad Trombone. 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:26.600 Nick Foles has been so lackluster. If Sad Trombone Ski, 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:31.440 there we go wealthy. We would be talking about Sad 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.280 Trombone Ski in this spot. But no, it's Nick Foles instead. Um, 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.920 he's folds to struggle badly and other normal circumstances. I 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.040 don't recommend him. But the Vikings are expected to be 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.800 missing up to four cornerbacks on Monday night. They always are. 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.040 They always even have that many cornerbacks to be missing. 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.800 Cornerbacks one, three, four, and five are all expected to 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.960 be missing this game. And as great as Mike Jimmer, 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.040 Zimmer has done with just scotch taping this set in, 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.840 they'rea together sooner or later. You can't keep trotting out 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:06.720 fifth stringer, six stringer, seventh stringers, against guys as good 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.760 as Allen Robinson. So I think here it catches up 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.760 with the Vikings to some degree, and they have They 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.560 have given up pretty big passing games pretty universally. So 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.240 this is an opportunity for Nick Foles. Let's go to 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.320 the running back position. Brian, I like that Jimmer for 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.960 debt Frudian slip there. Like Mike Jimmer, I got Leonard 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:28.800 four Nett at Carolina. Now, the timeshare in the Tampa 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.160 Bay backfield has been pretty frustrating this season, but over 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.440 the last three weeks, four Nett has seen twice as 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.280 many snaps as Ronald Jones. He is the proven third 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.160 down pass catching back. The Panzo Panthers have allowed the 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.280 most receptions in the fifth most receiving yards to running backs. 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:47.000 Carolina also allows nine seven rushing yards and a rushing 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.240 touchdown per game two running backs. And oh yeah, Leonard 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.080 Fournette had one hundred plus rushing yards and two rushing 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.480 touchdowns when these teams met in Week two. And Ronald 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.480 Jones is just bad. We'll talk more about him later 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.760 in the show, just about how bad he is. Okay, 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:03.920 sounds good. Your take a chance to me. Running back 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:06.440 Matt If we want to talk about bad, let's talk 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:13.000 about Klin Blage. That is an excellent segue right there. Um. 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.600 Klin Blage now plays for the Chargers, and in his 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.480 Chargers debut last week, he was the lead back after 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.600 Justin Jackson went down with an injury in the opening 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.919 seconds of the game. Blage ended up with seventeen touches 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:29.000 eighty four total yards in a score. Not a soul 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:31.960 in the entire world saw any of those fantasy points. 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:35.040 There's not one person. This week, he faces a Dolphins 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.639 defense that is allowing four point six yards per carry 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.960 on the season and was ranked the nine ranked rushing 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:46.000 defense by Football Outsiders d v o A. Also, Kyle 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:49.159 van Noy and Christian Wilkins were placed on the COVID 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:52.560 list and won't play this week. And oh, by the way, 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:56.720 there's beef here. This is really a personal revenge game 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:00.639 right here. The Dolphins traded Blage to Adam Gaze and 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.359 the Jets for a bag of donuts earlier this year. 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.800 Then Balash failed the physical was sent back to Miami. 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:11.160 That had to be awkward, yes, and then the Jets 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:13.240 ended up cutting him. Now he gets to face off 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.000 against his old team. Oh, and he gets the Adam 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:21.360 Gaze boost. Yes, the I've left Adam Gaze, so everybody 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:28.680 gets better. I'm going with J. D. Mick kiss Yes. 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.040 I at this point, I I think I just gotta 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.320 call him. Do would you like to do an apology? 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.600 I gotta kiss up to make kiss it would? I 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:42.400 know you're a listener, Okay, I apologize for the inhumane 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.080 treatment you've received. Maybe you gave him the motivation he 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.359 needed on a week tweak basis. It's a good point 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.600 because he saw a scalding of the snaps last week, 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:54.240 establishing an instant rapport with a new starter, Alex Smith. 0:18:54.720 --> 0:19:00.480 Catching nine of fourteen targets last week for sixty five yards. 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.359 They were all season highs with Alex Smith. He should 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:06.120 be able to keep it going against a Lions defense 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:08.560 that has been torched by opposing runners through the air. 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:12.280 They're allowing the fourth most receiving yards, the most receiving 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:16.120 touchdowns per game to the position, with back scoring receiving 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.679 touchdowns in three of the last four against Detroit. J D. 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:25.879 Mick kissing, let's go to the receivers, Brian, take a 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.320 chance of me white out Cleveland's Rochard Higgins at home 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:33.000 against the Texans. UH only one catch for Richard on 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:37.399 three targets in Cleveland's first full OH B J less game, 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:39.800 but that was the monsoon game against the Raiders. Is 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:41.600 not going to read too much into that and the 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.280 three games prior where Beckham was healthy for two and 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:47.000 a half of them, Higgins either scored a touchdown or 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:50.000 topped a hundred yards in all three. Houston is allowing 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:53.280 one and seventy plus yards per game to wide receivers. 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:56.879 They've already surrendered thirteen touchdowns to the position, that is 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.640 second most. So I like me some Richard Higgins this week. Okay, bat, 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:04.520 how about Mike Gassicki, who's by the way, fifty owned 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:08.200 in ESPN leagues, which I can't why at this point. 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:10.000 It's a tight end waste land out there, and I 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.960 kind of like Gasicki here. Last December, Mike Gasicki was 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:16.560 the tight end darling of the of the league. And 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:18.400 I think we're gearing up for another one of those 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:22.600 because last year Preston Williams got hurt in Week nine 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:26.040 and went on I R just like he did this year. 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.399 From Week ten on, Ghisicky became the de facto second 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:33.600 passing option on that team and averaged over seven targets 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.359 per game. This week, he gets a Chargers defense that 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:39.320 has allowed five touchdowns to the tight end position in 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:42.879 just the last five weeks. Mike Gassicky, go pick him up. 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:47.480 Remember last December when Gisicky and Higbee were they blew 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.159 up in December. We all roll into, you know, roll 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.200 into the next season. Like those guys. You know they're young, 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.600 they're both of them are on the waiver wire. They've 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:59.960 both been awful this year. Josh Reynolds has an uninspired, 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.880 tired play, but he's on the field seventy eight percent 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.600 of the team snaps. I am interested in any carbon 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:10.120 based life form that is on the field for sent 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:13.320 of a team snaps against the worst past defense in 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:17.800 NFL history. How bad is Seattle? The Seahawks are on 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:22.920 pace to give up one thousand more passing yards than 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:29.600 the next worst past defense of all time. Seattle allows 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:33.600 two d eighty passing yards to wide receivers, sixty more 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:37.520 than the next worst team. They're giving up a staggering 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:41.840 twenty two receptions just to the wide out position, worst 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:45.080 in the league, and Josh Reynolds has scored in two 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:48.240 of the last three games, three out of the last four. 0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:50.840 Josh Reynolds. Here we go. I think it. I think 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:54.240 it all makes sense. Those some solid Reynolds wrap right there. 0:21:54.840 --> 0:22:00.000 Oh why didn't I think of that? I guess next next, 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.320 next week. There's always a chance for somebody to wrap 0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:06.400 their Josh Reynolds. I want to hear you drop some bars. 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:10.320 You do the beatbox Brian Ravens take on the Patriots. 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:13.040 Let's begin with Lamar Jackson. This passing offense has not 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:15.600
