Speaker 1: by co host Matt Harrison and Scott Fish. Good morning, guys,

11
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: Good morning. I like that my name's first, hop that

12
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: you should. I don't even think we had your name

13
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: in the intro for half of last year, so uh

14
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: it is. It's awfully nice. Cells right with the world.

15
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: It's week one, Week one where you're excited and as

16
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: much as I enjoy all the preseason shows, all the

17
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: live events that we did, the Shells Brewery, the State Fair,

18
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: and of course the Fantasy football training camp, there's just

19
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: something right with the world. When we're breaking down matchups

20
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: Fantasy style like we've been doing for twenty four years. Yeah,

21
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: until we have to do the seven am starts. Well,

22
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: that's a good that is unnatural. This is our time

23
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: slot is meant to be tending. Gophers, be good this year,

24
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: to be please be good, really really good this year, Gophers. Uh.

25
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: In addition to breaking down all fifteen remaining matchups thirty teams,

26
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: we will give you nine players upon whom you can

27
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: take a chance. Three hot questions. Three hot questions premature speculation,

28
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: so lots to get to over the course of the show.

29
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: Let's jump right in to our matchups. Guys, Buffalo Bills

30
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: taking on the Baltimore Ravens. Matt, I think this is

31
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: gonna be the most lopsided game of the week. It's

32
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: gonna be slop sided, that's for sure. On the Buffalo side,

33
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: I gave Lashawn McCoy a SEA and that's the only

34
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: starting grade, and she is generous. The offensive line was

35
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: a mess all preseason. They lost three starters from last

36
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: year's team and their best three starters. Yeah, and Nathan

37
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: Peterman is starting, so there's virtually no passing game to

38
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: speak of. In the past two seasons, McCoy has scored

39
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: only five of his last twenty two touchdowns on the road,

40
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: so that's a negative split, and over the last nine

41
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: games of the season, but Baltimore suffered through a lot

42
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: of injuries to their front seven. They're all healthy now.

43
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: Over those final nine games. Levy on Bell topped one

44
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: total yards from the running back position against Baltimore and

45
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: that was it. McCoy is as good of a lock

46
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: for twenty touches, but that's the only reason you'd play him,

47
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: and I don't and I don't even know if he

48
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: gets to twenty if they fall behind early, yeah, probably.

49
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: You may remember Nate Peterman from such first half as

50
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: the five interception game against the Chargers nest year, in

51
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: which he was yanked at halftime. Exactly. So Peterman, Calvin Benjamin,

52
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: Jeremy Curley, Charles Clay, they're all on the bench. Um,

53
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: but you brought up Nathan Peterman and his five interceptions.

54
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: If you're in a team defense league, Baltimore's defense as absolutely.

55
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: They may pitch a shout out on Fanball there the

56
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: second highest price defense this I don't know how they're

57
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: the highest. Well at the time we set it was set,

58
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: so you still might want to pay up for him

59
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: at Uh the other start in this game. And there's

60
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: only one start on the Baltimore side that I have,

61
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: and that's Alex Collins, who I gave an a start.

62
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: If you truly believe the game script favors the Ravens

63
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: holding the Bills to maybe ten points or less, it's

64
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: feasible that Collins could have thirty carries in this game.

65
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: And not only that, the Bills ranked thirtieth in d

66
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: v o A against the run last year and allowed

67
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: the league's most rushing yards and touchdowns to running backs.

68
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: It's as good of a start as possible for Alex

69
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: Collins him this week. Love to get Alex Collins as

70
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: many laps as possible. Um, he's my number three running

71
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: back this week and a perfect ten out of ten

72
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: grade the way I grade players. Uh, so we're all

73
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: in lockstep on him. Ye, Joe Flacco in the passing

74
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: game is on the bench. Not that you'd be starting

75
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: Flacco in a Week one game where all thirty two

76
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are available anyway. The Bills surrendered multiple touchdown passes

77
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: only three times last year. They also held Cam Newton,

78
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, and Tom Brady to zero touchdown games last season.

79
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: Not a terrible past defense. So I got Michael Crabtree

80
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: and John Brown, the new guys in town there on

81
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: the bench. I kind of want to play wait and see,

82
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: and this is not an easy matchup for them. Game

83
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: script says Alex Collins is going to get all the work.

84
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm just sticking with him. Joe Flacco, we should mention

85
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: looked dramatically better that this preseason than last anytime last

86
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: year against him, Well, yeah, you know, actually does have

87
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: he's got. You know, I like the pressure that Lamar

88
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: Jackson gives and um and the fact that he's healthy

89
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: and like all of last year with the bad back. Um. Hey,

90
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: I should mention special shout out thanks to our decade

00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: weekly co host might be there this year. I would

101
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: I would like that starting that rumor right now on

102
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand wats of radio and broadcasts across you know,

103
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,119
Speaker 1: many of the participating fan radio network stations. We talked

104
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: to Sean from Shells and he was all in on it. Well,

105
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure he doesn't mind they don't play the bill man,

106
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: he's does. I talked to my wife and about your wife.

107
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: Totally in on this. Dave Wilson is the person we

108
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: need to talk to it Manny's many thanks to our

109
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: friends at the Brewery, Shawn, Sean, Ryan Brett Moss, Lee Windinger,

110
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: and of course the owners, Ted and Jody Marty. All right,

111
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: let's go to our next matchup, and this one it's

112
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: fascinating because the Steelers and the Browns could literally be

113
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: rained out. It is the remnants of Tropical Storm Gordon

114
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: as they cut a swath through central North America, could

115
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: end up on Sunday right in the heart of Cleveland.

116
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: This is a game that may not happen on time,

117
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: or maybe even if it does happen, we could have

118
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: a major weather event. Yeah. If if this thing happens

119
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: in the winds and the seven plus inches of rain

120
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: on a muddy, gross field, that's not what they're currently expecting.

121
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: That sounds very That sounds very weather terrorists. I'm gonna

122
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: look at the I'm gonna look at the hourlies. I mean,

123
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: it's rain. They're not expecting seven inches during the game.

124
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: I think that's a storm total. That sounds like I

125
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: don't think they're projecting the exact three hour span of

126
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: that game. Probably not. You keep chatting. I'm gonna look

127
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: up the Cleveland Weather dot Com and just see and

128
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: just see what we're looking at. So I'm doing these

129
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: grades assuming that they're going to play the game on

130
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: time in terrible inclement weather, which is the highest probability,

131
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: which is not terrible. We'll see uh. In the passing game.

132
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm giving Ben a C. I probably would have given

133
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: him a B in normal circumstances. You never love him

134
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: on the road. He's only been a top ten QB

135
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: in two of his last twenty one road games. It's

136
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: just terrible on the road. We've been pounding the storyline

137
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: for three or four years with Ben Roethlisberg now his

138
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: last four versus the Browns, he had a hundred yard

139
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: or two yards and two d yards and a three

140
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: hundred yards like he's all over the map against them.

141
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: Had a good one last year. But I just don't

142
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: love him this this week. Antonio Brown would be an

143
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: A grade. I'm giving him a very strong B if

144
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: it's bad weather. But he's still you're not benching him

145
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: at all. He's he's a must start. He's averaging in

146
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: and a half receptions in a hundred twenty four yards

147
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: per game in his last eight versus Cleveland the last

148
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: four years owns the Browns. Yeah, so I want to

149
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: give him an A. But it's just the weather concerns me.

150
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: But you're you're not mentioned either. Juju Smith gets a

151
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: C in this for me and once again dropped because

152
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: of the weather. Uh torched them last game of last

153
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: season for a hundred forty three yards in the touchdown. Uh.

154
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: He's going to be facing out against Body Calhoun, who

155
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: is twenty four against Pro Football Focus last year, who

156
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: had just you know, decent quarterback, but Schuster killed him

157
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: last year. He's averaged six catches for a hundred yards

158
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: per game. From Week eight on last year Juju Smith Schuster. Yeah, Uh,

159
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: James Washington and not yet. I love James Washington, but

160
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: it's it's not yet, especially in this weather. James Conner

161
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: I downgraded all the way to a C grade. The

162
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: Browns were sneaky good last year. Three point four yards

163
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: per carry second best in the NFL. They were top

164
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: five and tackles per tackles for loss. Uh. He's gonna

165
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: get volume and that's why he's startable. But he's a

166
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: C grade now. Many people feel that the inclement weather

167
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: um will ultimately mean more running for Connor, and I

168
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: think there's some truth that I think there's I think

169
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: by volume, and that's why I'm giving more like a B.

170
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: You can have Hi gonna be. I'll have him been

171
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: a very confidency B grade. I don't know that he's

172
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: got that immense upside. Maybe if he can get in

173
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: the end zone. Jesse James I really really loved this week.

174
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: He had two touchdowns Week one against the Browns. Last year,

175
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: the Browns were bottom four against tight ends. I actually

176
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: give Jesse James a B grade. If if they have

177
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: to throw short because of that wind, he might feast.

178
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: Let's mention Vans McDonald for this game. So Jesse James

179
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: and j James super nice deep sleeper here. Jess came

180
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: off the injury report. Team uh over to the brown side.

181
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: Tyrod goes from a sea to a bench for me

182
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: in this. He's a great deep ball thrower. He's got

183
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: a nice, little safe, thirty five yard rushing floor. But

184
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: I don't love him in this, even though he's got

185
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: the best supporting cast he's ever had. If it was

186
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: great weather, I would find him startable. Landry, I'm given

187
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: a B grade. Better weather, I'd given a grade. He

188
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: has five ever more receptions in seventeen consecutive games, which

189
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: is current active longest streak. It's hard not to not

190
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: to love him even in this matchup. Should feast on

191
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: some short yardage stuff if the wind prevails. Gordon, he's

192
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: going to get a full compliment of stamps. I know

193
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: it's not I know that that he's not getting the start,

194
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: but he had. That's what they said last year when

195
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: he came back and he got eleven targets against Casey Hayward. Yeah,

196
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: I think I think that's the same. He's going to

197
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: get that same compliment of snaps. But he's a better

198
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: deep all option. Most of his touchdowns are deep. That's

199
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: not going to be in this game. I'm actually benching him.

200
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon, Josh Gordon, Yep, David and Joeku. I'm giving

201
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: a ce Tyrod Taylor love the tight end and Buffalo

202
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: Chiles Clay became a thing in Buffalo, and he did.

203
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: He was top twelve many weeks. Yeah, Church doesn't agree

204
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: with me. That's okay. Charles Clay was You never were

205
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: happy rostering Charles Clay. He was the happy by week

206
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: you begrudgingly put in your roster and you take a

207
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: chance on me all star at the at the end

208
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: of sixteen through the start of seventeen, he was a

209
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: top five tight end Fantasy points alright, spread a five

210
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: or something. It was more like eight game but whatever.

211
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: Uh So, Nijoko, I'm giving a C grade. He looked

212
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: great in the preseason. Hide uh this is where the

213
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: slug fest gives him a C grade. For me, he's

214
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: the he's the lead dog. I don't love Duke in

215
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: this matchup. I don't love chubbing this matchup. But last

216
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: year running backs gained four point four yards per carry

217
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: on the Steelers, which was fifth most. They were really

218
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: bad to end the season. The Browns interior linemen are solid,

219
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: and when with Ryan Cheesier out, the opposing running backs

220
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: averaged a full care full yard per carry more at

221
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: five point one per carry. He's out. Yeah, why don't

222
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: you like Duke Johnson in this matchup? Ah? Well, the

223
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: Steelers were middle of the pack against UH receiving running backs.

224
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: There they only seated about five per game to running backs.

225
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 1: I think that can be spread out, and they only

226
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: allowed one receiving touchdown all last year. I'm not I'm

227
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: just not in love with of Houston takes on the

228
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: Patriots in one of the marquee fantasy matchups of this weekend,

229
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: and let's start on the Houston side, as they traveled

230
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: to New England. He seems played each other last week

231
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: or last year, so we'll reference that game a lot.

232
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: Watson and Hopkins are both a grades of course, and

233
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: and both were solid but not spectacular in last year's matchup.

234
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: There's room to do better, though. This is still a

235
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: mediocre Patriots secondary that finished last year thretie in passing

236
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: yards allowed. Now, a lot of that was in the

237
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: first half of the season, where they were really really bad.

238
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: They got up to about average by the end of

239
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,479
Speaker 1: last year. They added cornerback Jason according to their secondary

240
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: I think he's just okay. They had a defensive end

241
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: Adrian Clayborne to help the pass rush. He's okay. Um,

242
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: I'm I am very nervous. However, about the Texans offensive

243
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: line maybe the worst in the NFL, Well, it looks

244
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,359
Speaker 1: like it will be the worst in the NFL. But Watskins,

245
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: Watkins and Hopkins must start guys every week. Um, you're

246
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to do this all year. You're

247
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: gonna call him Watkins Watkins? Can I just can I

248
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: just combine them together? Like what was what was the

249
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: the j Lo and affleck bid uh benefit benefit? Yeah?

250
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: Can we just can we just put them together? Now?

251
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: Will Fuller worries me a little bit more because if

252
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: there's a bad offensive line, Will Fuller wants to get

253
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: free deep right, and I don't know if I don't

254
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: know if Watson is going to have enough time to

255
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: go deep to Fuller, I think you're downplaying the Watson

256
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: game of last year. Its three hundred one yards and

257
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and forty one rushing yards in that game.

258
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: It was a good game. Through a couple of touchdowns

259
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: in the game. It was good. You're downplaying it. It

260
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: was a good game. It was a good for improvement.

261
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: There is a room for improvement. They could be better. Uh,

262
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: they've as you probably have heard, through the preseason, Fuller

263
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: and Watson played together just four times, but they average

264
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: nearly two touchdowns a game, so you know, we know

265
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: that those two when they're on the field together can

266
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: be electric. He will most often work against cornerback Eric Rowe,

267
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: who ranked one hundred ninth in his position by Pro

268
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: Football Focus. So there's that isn't good Will Fuller B

269
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: grade C gray for Lamar Miller, one of my least

270
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: favorite starting running backs in the NFL. Uh, Texans are

271
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: likely to be trailing in this game, and last year

272
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: Houston only ran the ball thirty nine percent of the

273
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: time when they were trailing, So I'm worried about volume

274
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: for Lamar Miller. Worried about the offensive line. Also, he's

275
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: not very good. How do you really feel you ro

276
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: all that together? Fortunately, New England's defensive line play is

277
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: not a lot better. They gave up four point seven

278
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: yards per attempt, second worst in the NFL. Last year

279
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: and still uh Samar Miller, I can't get excited about

280
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: him here just to see great. Let's go to the

281
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: New England side of this game. Brady and Grant obvious

282
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: a starts. I'm not going to elucidate much on them.

283
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: They're my number quarterback, he's my Brady is my quarterback too,

284
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: and Grants my tight end one in my rankings this week.

285
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: Remember Brady through for five touchdowns in this matchup last year,

286
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: So that's part of why I love Chris Hogan a

287
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: grade and my number five wide receiver in this week's rankings.

288
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: Torched Houston for two touchdowns last time they met, and

289
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: that was when Brandon Cooks and Danny Amandola run the

290
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: team siphoning off looks they're not there anymore. Cooks and

291
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: Amadola leave behind thirteen targets to be distributed to others,

292
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: including Chris Hogan. Houston's cornerback Kevin Johnson will see Hogan

293
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: most often. He ranked one hundred twenty by Pro Football

294
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: Focus cornerback right exactly. Let's go to the other receivers.

295
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: Philip Dorsett gets a C grade in this one. He's

296
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: gonna be on the field for most of the plays,

297
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: and he's gonna start opposite Hogan. He'll he'll run from

298
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: all over the field, but we'll see him in the

299
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: slot a lot because Julian Edelman suspended for a month.

300
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: From there, he matches up with the very average cornerback

301
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Colvin. The diminutive door set is not gonna be

302
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: like an end zone targets, and I mean like gronk

303
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: Reth thrown to the end zone. But he is fast

304
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: and small, and I could see him spring crazy really

305
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: good footwork, and that's I could see him springing a

306
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: short turning short passes into long games. Footweark gets you

307
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy Philip W League, Philip Dorsett c

308
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: grade in this one. We're gonna leave Cordell Patterson on

309
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: the bench, but there if you're feeling balls in a

310
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: deep league, go for it. Why not. He's gonna be

311
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: on the field a lot in this game, and they'll

312
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: use them all over the field, including mark my words,

313
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: he'll get a carry in this game, Sharyl Patterson, and

314
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: maybe more than one. All right, let's go to uh,

315
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: let's go to the running game. Rex Burke head be

316
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: start every scared to death of the Patriots runners. But

317
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: when they hit, they hit big, and burke Head is

318
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: gonna get is gonna get the bulk of the work

319
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: in this game. Sony Michelle likely doesn't even factor in

320
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: much if he does play at all, as a rookie

321
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: who missed the whole preseason, I think he if he plays,

322
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna be like a five touch guy. Perhaps Jeremy

323
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: Hill's likely to be a goal line threat, but still

324
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: they could use Burkehead there as well. Now j J

325
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: Watts back from last year. If you missed last year,

326
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: jev Uh Jadeveon Clowney is a very good run stopper.

327
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: Those are things that we're me a little bit. Um.

328
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: They held New England to just thirty nine rushing yards

329
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: and last year's matchup, so that's the only reason I've

330
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: got a B grade insteven A grade on Rick's Burkhead. Um.

331
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: Burkehead did not play in last year's edition of this matchup.

332
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: James White is He's a dart throw every week, including

333
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: this one. His average game last year. Because James White's

334
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: roster in every league and I don't understand it, and

335
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: I never ranked him high in my preseason ranking. He

336
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: was like good in like the tenth round. I understand this.

337
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: Here's your average game, just typical game from James White

338
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: from last year. Twelve rushing yards, four receptions, and thirty

339
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: receiving yards. That's, to me, is the definition of a

340
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: guy that you pick up on your bye week off

341
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. Just you get some points out of

342
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: the position. That's it. You got it, by the way,

343
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 1: and zero point two touchdowns per game. You have a

344
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: one in five chance of getting a touchdown out of

345
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: James White. Texans did not um Texans did not allow

346
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: a running back receiving touchdown over the last eleven games

347
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: of last year. So you know all the trends on

348
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: James swider bad he says he is, he gets a bench.

349
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: Great when we come back, take a chance on me.

350
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: Nine players upon whom you can take a chance with

351
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: your roster. Hopefully don't need it already, but just in

352
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: case you do. This is really almost like a waiver

353
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: wire bit going into week one. We'll tell you who

354
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: they are when we come back. Is fantasy my green

355
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: bell three mum on the fan. Your neighbor hung a

356
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: green and gold flag on their porch, which is unacceptable

357
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: to any Minnesota Vikings fan. So what do you do?

358
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: You by the tallest flag pole allowed by the f

359
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: a A and the largest Vikings flag to go with it.

360
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: Because you won big playing the new Vikings scratch games

361
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: from the Minnesota Lottery and with the top prize of

362
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: up to one hundred thousand dollars, how you spend your

363
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: winnings is up to you. Yes, it pays to be

364
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: a fan Minnesota Lottery. I'm in must be eighteen year

365
00:18:54,880 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: older to play. You're listening eight to the fan take

366
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: a chance, Chance, Chance, Chance, Chance, Chance, Welcome back. It's

367
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: Fantasy football weekly on the fan. Time to take a

368
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: Chance on Me, and the one time all year we

369
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: get the regular version to take a Chance on Me

370
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: is week one. You're so pleased with abba? I am?

371
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: I am very pleased, and an ongoing thank you to

372
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: John Toby who left us left behind discs worth of

373
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: various crazy versions of take a Chance on Me, which

374
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: is fantastic. We've got a whole new disc this year

375
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: which I think is going to be no Chipmunk's version.

376
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,719
Speaker 1: I'm cautiously optimist. I don't know what's on it. No,

377
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: you hit left behind a new one, so that's fantastic. Uh,

378
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: take a chance of me nine players not normally in

379
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: your starting lineup, beginning at the quarterback position and Scott Fitch.

380
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: So mine is far less about the matchup, which is

381
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: the middle of the road against the Panthers. But Dak

382
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: Prescott is unreal with Zeke in the lineup. I didn't

383
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: notice this until this, just just this last week, but

384
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott with Zeke in the lineup averages eight fantasy

385
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: points per game, more than out of the lineup twenty

386
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: two point five in with Zeke in fourteen point four

387
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: out forty touchdowns, ten interceptions with Zeke five touchdowns to

388
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: seven interceptions without Zeke. Uh. He's fourth in fantasy points

389
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: per game over the last two years, fourth in the

390
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: NFL when Zeke is in the lineup. Zeke's back in

391
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: the lineup, I don't know where those are. I think

392
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: he's going to be a two fifty yards and a

393
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns guy this week, and he has a

394
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: thirty yard floor rushing every week. All right, you know

395
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: I feel about Dak. He was one of my sleepers

396
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: for the year. LA preseason chose Matt. I've got case

397
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: keenum going up against that vaunted Seattle defense that lost

398
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: the following starters from two thousand seventeen Byron Maxwell, Richard Sherman,

399
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: Cam Chancellor from the secondary and Earl Thomas just reported

400
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: to camp a couple of day days ago. And on

401
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: the d line they also lost Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril,

402
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: and Sheldon Richardson. So for all of you who took

403
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: Seattle's team defense because of years of great play, this

404
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: ain't the same squad. No, even if it was, it

405
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: was falling apart last year. Over the last four weeks

406
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: of Seattle allowed you to allowed an average of twenty

407
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: seven point five points. And all Keenum does with did

408
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: was throw for multiple touchdown passes in six of his

409
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: last nine regular season games last year. They're gonna unleash

410
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: their new toy in Denver. Indeed they will. I like

411
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: him a lot this week. I've got Sam Bradford, the

412
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: Redskins secondaries and shambles. They dealt away their best coverage corner,

413
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: Kendall Fuller, and that Alex Smith trade he um and

414
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: they solved Josh Norman. But he's not the shutdown corner

415
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: he used to be. He is a guy you can

416
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: get something done on and he actually only graded on

417
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: ProFootball focus in the sixties Josh Norman did. Opposite him

418
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: is somebody called Quinton Dunbar. Wade had to look up

419
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: and figure out what he was all about. Also totally

420
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: ordinary cornerback. Meanwhile, Sam Bradford's got two elite receivers to

421
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: throw to. Larry Fitzgerald heading to the Hall of Fame

422
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: and David Johnson, arguably the best pass catching running back

423
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL, both have a match a grade matchup

424
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: in this game. Sam Bradford's a triggerman for both of them.

425
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford, two Viking quarterbacks. Take a chance on the quarterback.

426
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: How about that? All right, Daddy Bridgewater, Let's go to

427
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: the running back position. Scott Uh, I have Jordan Wilkins.

428
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: It's starting to worry me that Marlon Mack keeps practicing now,

429
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: because without Marlon Mack playing, or if he's limited, Jordan

430
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: Wilkins is easily gonna be the lead dog there. He

431
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: may share with Christie Michael lil but I'm not too

432
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: worried about that. Since Nati was bottom ten and tackles

433
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: for loss anne yards per carry last year, Vontes perfect

434
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: is weirdly suspended. It's crazy he's suspended. And and uh

435
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: the Bengals allowed the most rushing attempts or the second Yeah,

436
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: I know, the most rushing attempts per game last year.

437
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: Matt I got Tarik Cohen. Remember last season's Week one

438
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: to Darling running backs in September. One was Matt Naggie's

439
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: old running back Kareem Hunt. The other was his new

440
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: running back, Tyreek Cohen, who tallied twenty four receptions over

441
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: the first four weeks of the season. Then John Fox

442
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: inexplicably worked him out of the game plan for the

443
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Last year, by percentage, the Bears

444
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: running backs had the third highest share of team receptions

445
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: on a per team basis. Thirty percent of the receptions

446
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: last season went to running backs, and Cohen could fill

447
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: a role similar to Tyreek Hill in this offense. Is

448
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: like a weapon X kind of player that lines up

449
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: in the backfield and the slot. Packers also gave up

450
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: the eighth most receptions in the eleventh most receiving yards

451
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: to running backs last year. Chris Thompson is my guy,

452
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: not just for this game, but for this season. And

453
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: if you planted that flag, I have I've repeatedly planted

454
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: that flag, and I tweeted this yesterday and I'll repeat

455
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: it here. If there's one affordable trade you can make

456
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: right now that I don't think will be very affordable

457
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks, go get Chris Thompson

458
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: right now. You don't have to give much to get him.

459
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: Um somebody on Twitter said they just traded Pierre Garson

460
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: to get him. You can. You know you don't have

461
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: to give a lot to get Chris Thompson right now.

462
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: And I think his values He's only going to get

463
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: more expensive as he gets healthier throughout the season. Side

464
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: note for this week and this matchup, by the way,

465
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: not even on the injury report. Didn't play all preseason,

466
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 1: as he got as he got healthier on that leg,

467
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: not on the injury report. Full steam ready to go.

468
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: Jay Gruden, his head coach, said, Thompson looks fantastic. That

469
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: was the quote. Arizona is the opponent they allowed the

470
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: seventh most running back receptions last year, and in the

471
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: Week fifteen matchup between the Redskins and the Cardinals. They

472
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: played each other just three games ago. Capri Bibbs in

473
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: a replacement role for Chris Thompson receiving yards and a touchdown.

474
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: If Capri Bibs can do it, Chris Thompson can do it. Thompson, remember,

475
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: at the point of his injury in your league was

476
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: roughly RB twelve when he went down last November. Go

477
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: get him, all right, let's go to the receivers and

478
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: tight ends for me. If Kenny Stills, big surprise, and

479
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: I love Kenny Stills. You probably drafted him as your

480
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: wide receiver four or five, but I think it's a

481
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: good week to start him. He plays Tennessee, but mostly

482
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: he was a top thirty wide receiver two years in

483
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: a row. Had nine touchdowns with Tannehill in sixteen tons

484
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: nine times. He scored UH two thirty nine vacated targets,

485
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: forty red zone fourteen red zone touchdowns vacated. And he's

486
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: the only receiver wide receiver or tight end that has

487
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: caught a pass from Ryan Tannehill in the NFL game.

488
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some chemistry there. I think there will

489
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: be chemistry there, all right, hold on, we need I

490
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: need my, I need my my my button bar volume

491
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: turned up, Sean, No, not that, although we should be

492
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: playing that still, Yes, we should be repeating still that

493
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: should still be playing. We're just enjoying the silence here

494
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: nine times, nine times I should Matt. Mine's really deep,

495
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: and nobody's gonna start this guy. It's Nick Vanett. Nobody's

496
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: gonna start. He's the tight end for Seattle at Dixon

497
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: out this week, but he's more of a blocking tight

498
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: end anyway. Nick Venette is the receiving tight end Jimmy

499
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: Graham departed, along with his insane amount of red zone

500
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: targets and eight touchdowns from the six yard line in

501
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: the only receiving tight end is six six Nick Vannette,

502
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: who has only fifteen career catches over two seasons. Vannett

503
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: led all tight ends at the scouting combine in both

504
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: the twenty yard and sixty yards shuttles, so he's good

505
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: out of his cuts. It's worth noting that the one

506
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: whole Denver has had in their defense for years has

507
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: been against the tight end. Denver has allowed over nine

508
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: yards the tight end position in six straight seasons. To

509
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: give you an idea how much that is. That's bottom

510
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: ten every season for six straight years. He also allowed

511
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: nine times where the touchdowns to that position last year.

512
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: That was tied nine. That was tied for fourth most.

513
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: Nick Vannette Tyler Eifford. I'm going tight end as well.

514
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: You may remember Tyler Eifford from his healthy games, his

515
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: last twenty healthy starts. His average game fifty yards receiving

516
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: and zero point nine touchdowns. He's almost a touchdown a

517
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: game point nine times zero zero zero playing times. The

518
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: Colts finished and touchdowns allowed to tight ends a year

519
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: ago and an opposing They let an opposing tight ends

520
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: score in eight different games, including the likes of Luke Wilson,

521
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: Jeff Uerman, and Max Williams. If they can score against

522
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: the Colts, so Ken Tyler Effort, let's work in one

523
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: matchup into this segment as well, and that is Jacksonville

524
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: taking on the New York Giants. Matt for Jacksonville, we

525
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: already know to start Leonard four net a start a grade.

526
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure talk to me more about the passing game.

527
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: There's not much in the passing game. I gave Blake

528
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: Bordles like a C start if you're in a two

529
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: quarterback league, because if not, now when the Giants allowed

530
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: thirty two passing touchdowns last season, if you're counting at home,

531
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: that's exactly two per game. That's the most in the NFL.

532
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: They also allowed the third most passing yards. So if

533
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: you're not going to start Blake Bortles now, there's never

534
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: any reason to ever start him again. Uh only a

535
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: C grade. Yet only a C grade. That's how much

536
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: I believe in Blake Bortles, Keelan Cole, d d Westbrook,

537
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: Dante Moncrief. I've got all those guys on the bench.

538
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: There's too many uninspiring names here. Cole is the guy

539
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: like the best, but he and Moncrieff play the outside.

540
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: They're most likely to draw the coverage of Generous Jenkins.

541
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: Jenkins actually a good cornerback. So I want to play this.

542
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: Let this play out for a few weeks before I

543
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: commit to starting any of these guys. And Austin Seferian Jenkins,

544
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: he was on the injury report, a little bit taken

545
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: off the injury report. Actually today, I gave him a

546
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: C grade. Earlier was going to be charges to take

547
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: a chance on me guy. But if you're not familiar

548
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: with the Giants, they did give up a league high

549
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: thirteen touchdowns to the tight end last year, and if

550
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: the preseason is any indication they didn't improve either. Their

551
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: first team defense allowed two touchdowns to David and Joku

552
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. They're just a terrible tight end defense.

553
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: On the other side, se Kwon Barkley gets a b

554
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: He's going to get twenty touches, He's going to get

555
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: five receptions, and if the Giant score touchdown, it will

556
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: likely be se Kwan and I'll remember the Jags aren't

557
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: completely unbeatable on defense. Thet scored forty four points against

558
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: them in Week sixteen, which included a combined a hundred

559
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: and twenty eight rushing yards and two touchdowns from the

560
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: Matt Breta Carlos Hide combination. The Steelers scored forty two

561
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: points against the Jags individual round Levan Belt torched them

562
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: two touchdowns on a hundred and fifty five total yards.

563
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: I love Sa Kwan in this matchups. I think he's

564
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 1: sneaky good in this matchup. I agree with the Odell Beckham.

565
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm giving you a CEE this week if you would

566
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: ever consider benching Beckham this is the time against Jalen Ramsey.

567
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: It sounds like the Giants may try running Beckham out

568
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: of the slot to try to avoid Ramsey. But the

569
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: reason he's not on the bench. Stud receivers have beaten

570
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: Ramsey in the past. DeAndre Hopkins eight yards in a touchdown.

571
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown Top two hundred and thirty two yards twice

572
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: in two meetings, had two touchdowns in that playoff games.

573
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: So I got Beckham as a ce my number twenty

574
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: two wide receiver this week. Beckham, Yeah, there we go. Um,

575
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: first came back off. You know what. It was ultimately

576
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: a long layoff with the ankle. So layoff. Evan Ingram

577
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: might gotta be grade on because the Jaguars faced nobody

578
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: at tight end last year. Okay, the best two tight

579
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: ends they faced, and a kid you not, were Delaney

580
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: Walker and Ricky Seals Jones. Ricky Seals Jones had seventy

581
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: two yards and a touchdown against them. They didn't give

582
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: up anything to the tight end last year. Best because

583
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: they played no one interesting. Evan Ingram is good. Um,

584
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a B. He was second in the

585
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: NFL among tight end targets last year. The Sterling Shepherd

586
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: and Eli Manning there on the bench, they're probably not

587
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: in your line up anyway, and you won't play them

588
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: against the Jags. Well, and we come back another set

589
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: of matchups including Cincinnati Bengals at Indianapolis Colts. Will tell

590
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: you if you dare start Andy Dolphin in this one.

591
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:52,280

607
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: Let's continue out with their matchup, beginning with Cincinnati at

608
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. Scott Earlier I said that Buffalo Baltimore might

609
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: be the most slopsided game. This one might be the

610
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: second most lopsided game. Yeah. I think nine of the

611
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: public money is coming in on Cincinnati on this game,

612
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: which is crazy. I love everyone for the Bengals in

613
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: this game. I think it's gonna be a just just outmatched.

614
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: The defense for the Colts is just terrible. Uh. On

615
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: the passing side, their bottom five in most categories last

616
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: year passing yards allowed, most yards allowed, etcetera. I have

617
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: an A grade on Andy Dalton. Marvel Liuz Marvel Linus

618
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,959
Speaker 1: wants to emphasize the deep ball more. Uh. The Colts

619
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: were third worst in pressure rate last year, which means

620
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: Dalton's gonna have time to throw those deep balls. I

621
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: love him in this game. A great quarterback. I'm with

622
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: you on this. Absolutely Colts goes without saying, oh a

623
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: J Green a grade as well. I don't even need

624
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: to go into it, obvious A grade. I'm actually giving

625
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: John Ross, who had some flash plays in the preseason.

626
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a C grade, uh, just because he's

627
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: really really risky. But one out of every five completions

628
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: against the Colts last year went for over twenty yards.

629
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: Of the completions against the Colts were over twenty yards.

630
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: That's John Ross right there. Effort was your take on,

631
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:10,479
Speaker 1: So obviously we like him. Yeah, Joe Mixon. Love him

632
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: again here. Colts bottom six in yards allowed and touchdowns

633
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: allowed running backs last year. They've up their offensive line

634
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: with Courty Glenn and Billy Price. Uh. The Colts have

635
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: allowed the second most rushing attempts per game last year.

636
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: The game script should be in Joe Mixon's favor as

637
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: they need. Uh. He had ninety one yards receiving against

638
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,959
Speaker 1: the Colts last year, so that's great. Uh. Joe Bernard,

639
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm actually benching. I almost gave a C grade too,

640
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: but I'm so in on Joe Mixon that I'm I

641
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: want to see the usage first over to the other

642
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Andrew Luck, I'm benching. I had

643
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: a C grade on him, and I'm like, I just

644
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: can't do it. I need to see him throw like

645
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: a deeper ball first. And the Bengals were top ten

646
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: against the past. Wilkins was my take on. But in

647
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: that passing game, everyone kind of gets downgraded because of

648
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: my my worry. They're Hilton, I'm giving a B grade.

649
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: I know he averages an extra catch and twenty more

650
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: yards per game indoors than he does outdoors. And this

651
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: is indoors he averages five for eight indoors, he averages

652
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: fifteen point nine fantasy points per game with Luck. I

653
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: love all that, but I'm still giving him a BE

654
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 1: because I'm worried about Luck Ibron. I'm not touching still.

655
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: But Jack Doyle, I'm giving a C grade. I would

656
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: give him up in this matchup last year. Jack, Yep, exactly.

657
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: He's had a hundred eighty three targets in the last

658
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: two years with Luck. With Andrew Luck. In twenty sixteen,

659
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: he had at least three catches and thirty yards, so

660
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: basically a six point PPR floor in eleven of the

661
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: sixteen games with Luck. I think he's got a nice

662
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: safe floor. But again, I'm so worried about the about

663
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: the Colts. When Doyle, when these seems met last year,

664
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: Doyle's line, Yeah, twelve receptions, one one and a touchdown.

665
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, if unless Eric Ebron snipes in, which

666
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: is that we saw in the preseason, Doyle should be

667
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: sitting out a very good game. Yeah. I gave him

668
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: a C grade. I actually had it a B for

669
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: a while, but with Ebron there, with lux Arm, there's

670
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of concern Niners take on the Vikings

671
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: here locally, let's start on the Niners side. We only

672
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: have starting grades on two players. First, let's start Jimmy Garoppolo,

673
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: who gets a C grade and I'll bump him up

674
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: to a B of Xavier Rhodes doesn't play, and I

675
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: think this still this thing is still in coin flip

676
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 1: territory on Xavier Rhodes playing in this game. If if

677
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: he does not go, let's give a B to Jimmy Garoppolo.

678
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: He should be under siege all day. The Vikings don't

679
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 1: need to respect the Niners running game, and they have.

680
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: They have personnel advantages across the line of scrimmage on

681
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: every single spot. If um I worried that Garoppolo is

682
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: gonna be under siege all game. The Vikings allowed the

683
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 1: fewest touchdown passes last year, the second fewest passing yards

684
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: C grade on Jimmy Garoppolo here and then his The

685
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: only other starter is Marquis Goodwin. This is gonna He's

686
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna match up on a speed versus speed matchup with

687
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: Tray Waynes. Now we saw a goodwin roast the Vikings

688
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: secondary in the preseason last year. Um, I'd like to

689
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: think that I'm sure they watched tape a little bit.

690
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: I'd like to think that the Vikings that will be

691
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: able to stop it, but maybe not goodwins the go

692
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: to receiver for this team. And this is still a

693
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: matchup in which we've seen Trey Wayne's get you know,

694
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: he does get burned from time to time. Maybe this

695
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: is a good matchup for a good one. I have

696
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: a B grade on him. Uh, if Rhodes doesn't go,

697
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: I'll elevate Pierre Garson off the bench and we'll give

698
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: him a C or a B grade. That's about it

699
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: for anybody else i'd want to use. So if if

700
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: Rhodes doesn't go, then you hope the Mackenzie Alexander's healthy

701
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: enough to go. If neither one can go, Pierre Garson's

702
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: matchup falls to like rookie Holton Hill getting his first

703
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: start ever. Um, maybe Mike Hughes was It's spent the

704
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: whole preseason playing out of the slot. Would they kick

705
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: him outside and not have him play the slot? The

706
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: whole thing gets real ugly and peare Garson if if

707
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: neither one. If both Rhodes and Mackenzie don't go, gets

708
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: really interesting. Alfred Morrison and Matt Reed are both on

709
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: the bench. Vikings stellar against the run last year, allowing

710
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: eight just eighty three rushing yards per game, second fewest

711
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: in the league. Rita and Morris are gonna split carries.

712
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: Fullback Kyle Uscheck will get the reception. So I don't

713
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: like either one of them here at all. George Kittle

714
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: also on the bench of Vikings Elite Fantasy tight defense

715
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: against the tight end. Let's go to the Viking side.

716
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs is a A grade here. San Francisco allowed

717
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: at least seventy five yards to a wide receiver in

718
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,720
Speaker 1: each of the last four matchups and overall ranked twenty

719
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 1: second in yards allowed to wide receivers. He will get

720
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: the majority of his snaps by fields positioning against Richard Sherman,

721
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: who always plays one side of the field. Most of

722
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: Diggs's snaps on that right side of the field, like

723
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: the Minneapolis Miracle as one example. So they'll test Sherman,

724
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: who's trying to get his first game back off the

725
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: Achilles injury. But for any reason, Sherman's particularly good. I

726
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: have to do to get Diggs open. It's moving to

727
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: the other side of the field. So one way or

728
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 1: another thing, Diggs gets a good match up here. He's

729
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: an A grade Thelands a B grade running predominantly from

730
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: the slot. That means he has a positive matchup against

731
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: Kwan Williams. And if the priest Sason any is any

732
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 1: indication that we saw a lot of Cousins two digs,

733
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: not as much Cousins to feeling, I assume that will

734
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: come back here still a B grade, and I do

735
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: like him. Forty Niners bring back the same secondary that

736
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: allowed the eleventh most fantasy points to wide receivers last year.

737
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins also a B grade. He faced the forty

738
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: Niners last year while with Washington, three hundred thirty yards

739
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns, and he chipped in a rushing touchdown

740
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: on top of that. Sounds good to me. I would

741
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: take that in this game in a heartbeat. Let's hope

742
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: it goes that way. And also from the passing game,

743
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph a CEE start here. Forty Niners were good

744
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: against tight ends. They finished in the top half of

745
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: receptions and gave up the fourth fewest yards to opposing

746
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: tight ends last year. Dalvin Cook gets a B start

747
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: B grade. Remember, at the time of his injury last year,

748
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: only two players had more yards from scrimmage than he had,

749
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley and Kareem Hunt, So that's pretty good company.

750
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: In the first eleven weeks of last year, when San

751
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: Francisco was losing all their games and they were playing

752
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 1: from behind, they were giving up a hundred thirty yards

753
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: per game. They got dramatically better when Jimmy Garoppolo was

754
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: staking them to leads. But I don't think Jimmy Garoppol

755
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: is gonna do that here. So if they're gonna go

756
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 1: up hundred thirty yards per game, I want Dalvin cooking

757
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: part of that one thirty. Let's go to another matchup,

758
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: and that is Tampa Bay taking on New Orleans Saints.

759
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: Matt On Tampa Bay's side, there's not a lot to like.

760
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, there's darn good Saints defense. I've got

761
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: one starting grade and it's a C grade, and it's

762
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 1: the It's from Mike Evans last year in three games

763
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: with Ryan Fitzpatrick, who we call Stu Beard, but in

764
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: New Orleans we call him Gumbo Beard. I like that.

765
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna you know, I might take that. Yeah, Gumbo Beard,

766
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: Brian helped me think that one up. Um with Gumbo Beard,

767
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: he had five catches for ninety two yards, six catches

768
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: for seventy eight yards, three catches for nine yards and

769
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown. So that's good. But against the Saints, Mike

770
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: Evans had sixty eight total yards in two games against

771
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lattimore. Now, the game script favors Tampa being down

772
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: by a ton in this game and then just having

773
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: to throw. So that's why I gave Mike Evans the

774
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: C grade. The rest of the passing game is on

775
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: the bench, Chris Godwin, DeShawn Jackson, Brad Howard. I don't

776
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: want any of those guys. Um. The other thing we

777
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: got to think about is Peyton Barber, who's the starter.

778
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: I gave him a bench grade. He was actually the

779
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: lead ball carrier in both games against the Saints last year,

780
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: had seventy one yards in a touchdown in one games,

781
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: but only eleven for thirty four and the other. That's

782
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: the game script. How many touches is he gonna get? Is?

783
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: It worries me? He's not gonna get that many touches

784
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: and and Roald Jones Jr. Just a reminder he's on

785
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,959
Speaker 1: your bench and probably dropped off your roster right now.

786
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: Over to the Saints side. Easy A for Drew Brees,

787
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: although he hasn't topped three yards against the Bucks since

788
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: two thousand fifteen. That was kind of interesting. I don't care.

789
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: Alvin Brank Grimes may not play. Oh really, yeah, that's

790
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: pretty fun. Alvin Kamara gets an easy A grade. He

791
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: just torched the Bucks last year, I imagine, and he's

792
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: your number one running back this week. My number one

793
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: running back this week is Alvin Kamara. There we go.

794
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas getting an A grade. If Brent Grimes doesn't

795
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: play well, a plus grade, a plus grade. But if

796
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: he does play, he's still six inches taller than Brent Grimes.

797
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: He's never scored a touchdown against the Bucks, but he

798
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: has the yardage totals the rest of the passing game

799
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: on the bench. Ben Watson, ted Gain, Cameron Meredith, Track

800
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: Kawon Smith, Trey Kawon Smith had a captivating preseason. Cameron

801
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: Meredith had seventy two yards in a score in the

802
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: Week four finale of the preseason. Should man the slot.

803
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,240
Speaker 1: I just want to see what happens before I commit

804
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: to starting any of these guys. And you've got better

805
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: guys that you're playing anyway. And then Mike gillis Le

806
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: signed this week, and I know that there was a

807
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: lot of steam on this show about let's start Jonathan

808
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: Williams from mostly from me, yes, and now Mike gillislely

809
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: fills that role, but he's only been there for seven days,

810
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: so I don't want to do it in him on

811
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 1: the bench. That sounds good. Brent Grimes doubtful groin injury,

812
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: by far, the best player in their secondary for Tampa,

813
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: Drew Brees in that passing offense he's sitting on. It

814
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: could be, It really could be. Saints are going to be.

815
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: They're there and they're a good team overall. We need

816
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: to take a break when we come back. Three hot

817
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 1: questions formerly five hot questions. We're kind of get down

818
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: to three because we got fifteen games to get through.

819
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: We just don't have enough time. So for once you're

820
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: finally gonna go on exciting, I will finally do it

821
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 1: first time out. Okay, welcome back to the show. Our

822
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: number two of Week one Fantasy Football Weekly. We are

823
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: t minus twenty five hours from kickoff of NFL football

824
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: just Thursday's game. Just fantastic. Yeah, very excited for that.

825
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: This is a bit we like to call hot questions.

826
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: We're cutting it down to three this week. Question number one.

827
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: At halftime last Thursday, you could have traded Jagi for

828
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: a jar of mayo left out in the Sahara desert.

829
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: Since by the end of the game it's scored twice

830
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: and run into two point conversion. Which half is closer

831
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: to the j A g I we're going to see

832
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year, the first half or

833
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: the second half. So will the real Ji please stand up?

834
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: Scott the second half? But that will probably be closer

835
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: to his game totals. I think he's gonna be a

836
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: fifteen touch of game running back. That's what I've been

837
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: saying all off season. I'm a little happier with the

838
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: TV upside. I was worried about the touchdown upside this

839
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: year because of what he didn't have last year inside

840
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: the five. But I have a theory on his usage

841
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: that he was still dealing with that foot injury, and

842
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 1: the Eagles were hubris enough to believe that they didn't

843
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 1: have to use a g I and then all three

844
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: other running backs failed, missed pass blocking assignments and were ineffective.

845
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: Agi came in perfect pass blocking on his first play.

846
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: He had to keep playing, all right, I think to

847
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: keep with Charches condiment theme, the Eagles realized that Darren

848
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: Sprowles wasn't cutting the mustard the goal line, So I

849
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: I that was the the evident thing when I was

850
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: watching that game, is Darren Sprowls is not a goal

851
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: line running back? Breaking news after fifteen years? Why did

852
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: they keep handing him the ball the strike? It made

853
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: no sense? So I think it's the second half JGI.

854
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: For sure, it's the second half jj I, if only

855
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: because they just don't have enough other talent at the position.

856
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: And he was the single best part of the entire

857
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: offense in that game, passing, passers, receivers, anybody. He was

858
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: probably the best. He was the best player on the

859
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: field maybe, and he ran harder than all the other

860
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: runners JJI. Second half will be closer to reality. Hot

861
00:44:55,600 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 1: question number two. Barring a last minute change, twenty four

862
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: hours from now, levy On Bell will have missed the

863
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: first game of the year today. Right now, should his

864
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: owners sell or hold Levy on Bell, Matt. If you

865
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: believe the weather, there's no way Levy on Bell can

866
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: get to that stadium. He's gonna have to a month soon.

867
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 1: He's not playing um. And by the way, I'll mention

868
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: this is a side note. Most teams start they're traveling

869
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 1: in about two hours. They travel to the next destination

870
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 1: for road games in San Francisco, traveled to Minnesota yesterday,

871
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: so they travel either Friday or Saturday. So yeah, um,

872
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm holding Levy on Bell. I actually own him in

873
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: a league, and in kind of kicking the tires on

874
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: some trades, I know you won't get value for him

875
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: unless you're trading him with James Conner. And if you

876
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: have James Conner, you already got the key to the

877
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: city here because you have the starting running back combination

878
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 1: behind arguably one of the best offensive lines in the league,

879
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: with a great quarterback and passing game. It would be

880
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: insane to sell low on Levy on Bell right now, Scott,

881
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,439
Speaker 1: I'm holding He led the NFL and touches per game

882
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,760
Speaker 1: last year. I think even if he comes back Week six,

883
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,439
Speaker 1: he could he could easily make up for whatever you miss.

884
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,959
Speaker 1: If you can weather the storm until he comes back.

885
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: If you think he's gonna come back, I think he'll

886
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,320
Speaker 1: come back at some point this season. I'd rather weather

887
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: the storm and take the massive amount of volume he's

888
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: going to get in the second half. Yeah, you're both

889
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: so wrong. His average draft position this week, when everybody knew,

890
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: but you know, all this is brewing Levy on Bell's

891
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 1: average draft position is still the middle of the first

892
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: round them all right. There is a perceived value out

893
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: there that he's still an elite running back, so you

894
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: can shop him for an elite running back. And let's

895
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: talk about his disaster scenario here, because it's very real

896
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 1: that he holds out ten games. This is the worst

897
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: case disaster. Snare holds out ten games because he's got

898
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: to play the final six games to a crew a

899
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,280
Speaker 1: year of service so that he can hit free agency

900
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: next year. But by then, the Steelers are you know,

901
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: by week by the way, that's week twelve. By week twelve,

902
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, the Steelers could easily be nine and three,

903
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: ten and two with James Connor, and James Conner's established

904
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: as the starter at Bell doesn't even get full reps

905
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: at that point. That's a real scenario. Out there. Now,

906
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: that's worst case. Let's talk probable case. He misses this

907
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: game week one, Why would he come back in week two?

908
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,439
Speaker 1: She's planted his flag in the ground. I'm not I'm

909
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 1: not coming back, so you can grind me up and

910
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: pay me too little and you abuse me. If why

911
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: would he come back? If he's not playing week one,

912
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: why would he come back week two? Why would he

913
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: come back week three? The only reason to come back

914
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: isn't is when he needs those six games of service,

915
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: and that's week that's literally the week twelve game. Or

916
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: James Conner goes for two yards in a game and

917
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: he goes, oh, better get back in camp. It won't matter.

918
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: And if James Conner does, Bell comes back to at

919
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 1: best of mixed time share now, because Connor is apparently

920
00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: very good in this scenario, right answer, sell baby, sells hot.

921
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: Question number three, It was a disheartening preseason for Andrew Luck.

922
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: Should owners just flat out cut him right now? Scott, No, no, no, no.

923
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: We're talking about a guy who in the last four

924
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: years has been a QB two and a QB four.

925
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: I still think he has has the potential to be

926
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: a top twelve quarterback. This year. I broke my leg

927
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: once and I didn't run immediately on it. I slowly

928
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: came back. Luck by the end of the season is

929
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,359
Speaker 1: going to be slinging it. And also, I'm old enough

930
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: to remember when people were yelling to cut Brady and

931
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: cut Russell Wilson, and both both of those were terrible calls.

932
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: We're not cutting Andrew Luck all right, Matt Oh absolutely

933
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: cut him out. No, just kidding. You have to wait

934
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: and see. Maybe the Colts were just playing at coy

935
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,280
Speaker 1: with him in the preseason. Maybe they know some things

936
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,919
Speaker 1: that we don't. If his arm is okay, he's still

937
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 1: got the rushing ability that made him a great dual

938
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 1: threat quarterback. And remember they added some good piece is

939
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: it that offensive line to help keep him up right.

940
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: He's got two good tight ends, He's got t Y Hilton.

941
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: Don't cut him. Wait and see at least a couple

942
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: of weeks. But if his average are yards are under

943
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: ten yards, that's when you start cutting him. In this preseason,

944
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: Luck only through these little, soft, adorable passes. Oh, they

945
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: were so cute at three yards of pass. I need

946
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: my quarterback unleashing lasers around the fields. I want Patrick Mahomes.

947
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 1: I want the old Andrew Luck before the injury. When

948
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 1: am I going to get that guy? Is it week one?

949
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: Not base anything else on the preseason? Is it week five? Maybe?

950
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 1: Is it week fifteen? I don't know. I'm not sitting

951
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 1: on Andrew Luck that long, waiting and hoping his arm

952
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 1: finally comes around. You did it and passing on This

953
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: is a reverse is going to be awesome now you

954
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 1: just told everybody to cut him. He might be. Maybe

955
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: he's got a show so much better than anything that

956
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: we saw in the preseason. Meanwhile, I can go get

957
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: help a lot of different places. Andy Dalton is not

958
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: rostered in half of leagues. I would much rather go

959
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: to war with Andy Dalton and with knowing what I've

960
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: got than Andrew Luck and just hoping to God he

961
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: gets back to his old self before I don't know

962
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: the end of the year. I'm not holding a guy

963
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 1: that long. I'm dropping Andrew Luck right now. Tennessee Titans

964
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: take on the Miami Dolphins. Scott the Titans, speaking of

965
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: bad preseason, Andrew Lux was bad. The whole Tennessee offenses

966
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 1: are trying to install a brand new offense, new scheme.

967
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: Matt lafleurs, a new offensive corner. All look bad, but

968
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: it's the Dolphins, so we got opportunities. Yeah, despite the

969
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: bad preseason, I'm giving going to the passing game. I'm

970
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: giving Mariotta to see. The Dolphins allowed two yards passing

971
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: and a touchdown thirteen of their last sixteen games. Of

972
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: the sixteen games last year, so I think that's a

973
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: pretty safe floor for Mariotta. Mariotta who can add some

974
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: rushing yards to it as well. His receivers, though I

975
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: don't love Miami was top five against wide receivers, fifth

976
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: fewest wide receiver touchdowns, and only seven wide receivers in

977
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 1: those sixteen games top seventy five yards. I'm giving Corey

978
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 1: Davis a sea because I think he's the best weapon there.

979
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: He's been lining up all over in the preseason in

980
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,399
Speaker 1: the slot. He's got a major advantage if he lines

981
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: up there because that's where he was best at Western Michigan,

982
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: Central Michigan. Uh Rochard Matthews just coming just coming back

983
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 1: from injury. Here, I'm benching him. I don't know what

984
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: we're going to expect from him. Where I love the

985
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: passing game is Dylany Walker should be healthy Dolphins allowed

986
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: the second most yards and second most touchdowns to tight

987
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 1: ends last year. Uh, he's he's gonna be Mario as

988
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: little Wood be there. I think that I think that

989
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: that's an a play for me, my number two ranked

990
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: tight end this week. Be uh for for the running game,

991
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: Man Rabo makes it hard. I don't know what to expect,

992
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna give both starting grades. Henry a B

993
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: touchdown upside. All of the Miami linebackers are smaller than Henry,

994
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: and Miami was bottom ten against fantasy running backs last year.

995
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: They also allowed the fourth most receptions to running backs,

996
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: which makes me think Lewis might be a sneaky little

997
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: C starter there. Over to the Miami side, Man Tannehill. Tannehill,

998
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: I hate him, but he's got such a great matchup

999
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: against the Titans team that was bottom ten against quarterbacks,

1000
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: and they're missing their pass rushers Derek Morgan and Harold

1001
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: Landry for this one. Uh. He's never been a guy

1002
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: with high pass attempts, but I'm still going to give

1003
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: him a C grade just because the matchup is so

1004
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 1: tasty and quarterbacks were so good against against the Titans

1005
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:45,879
Speaker 1: last year. Uh. Stills was my take Colm Amendola, also

1006
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: giving a C grade the uh. The Tennessee Titans allowed

1007
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: the fourth most slot touchdowns and the ninth most slot

1008
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: receptions last year. Amendola is gonna play out of the slot.

1009
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: It's a C grade. I don't love it. But they

1010
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: had some good chemistry in preseason, not touching the tight end,

1011
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: only had one catch in the preseason. Cannot trust that yet.

1012
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm not trusting Frank Gore yet. Kenyan Drake. I am

1013
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: giving a B grade two though. On the running game,

1014
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: I just think he's going to get the volume a lot.

1015
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: I think he's going to get borderline work course volume. Uh.

1016
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:21,280
Speaker 1: He was top five in past protection last year by PFF,

1017
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: which is going to keep him on the field. Do

1018
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: we all agree you can drop Frank Gore. I dropped

1019
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: him in one probably. I never picked him up him

1020
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: in league. By the way, Kenyan Drake Gray pass catcher,

1021
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 1: the Titans allowed the most receiving yards and the most

1022
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,919
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns drying backs last year. How about that? Yeah,

1023
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: that's a nice angle. The only thing Frank Gore does

1024
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: is make Kenyan Drake's value murky. Yeah, that's that's that's all.

1025
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: He's doing there, I agree, and then it probably shouldn't

1026
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: be so murky. Yeah, I've been the guy that said

1027
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 1: I've said Gore has done for years. I think he

1028
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 1: will not be a meaningful contributor to my son when

1029
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 1: he's in his twenties. We'll be watching, Frank, I hope

1030
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: you're wrong. Kansas City takes on the Chargers. Obviously, these

1031
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:58,959
Speaker 1: teams are very familiar with each other. For Kansas City,

1032
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,879
Speaker 1: the script should be a lot of Kareem Hunt. Get this.

1033
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: In the two meetings last year, Kareem Hunt put up

1034
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: one hundred eighty three total yards and two hundred six

1035
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: total yards. That's an astounding two games for Kareem Hunt

1036
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: against the Chargers. And they're gonna try to do that

1037
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: again here because the Chargers are a great past defense.

1038
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 1: And that's why. And obviously Creem Hunt is an a.

1039
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 1: That's why Patrick Mahomes slips down to a sea and

1040
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: is what will be only a second NFL starting his

1041
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: first meaningful one. He started Week seventeen in a meetingless

1042
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: game last year. Mahomes will be an all or nothing

1043
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,240
Speaker 1: fantasy producer many weeks. I think it's a nothing this time.

1044
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: Charges allowed the third fewest touchdown passes last year, fourth

1045
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 1: fewest passing yards last year, and then they added to

1046
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 1: that with the first round safety Derwin James, so they

1047
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: they there, it's a fantastic secondary. Alex Smith last year

1048
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: was able to throw two touchdown passes um in each

1049
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,240
Speaker 1: of the games, but he only averaged on passing yards.

1050
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: And I don't I'm nervous about Mahomes here C grade.

1051
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not ready to bench him yet, but

1052
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 1: to C grade here, Kenny find Tyree Hill gets a

1053
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,720
Speaker 1: B grade. Well, maybe he should be going up against

1054
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: Desmond King, who is not the best of their cornerbacks,

1055
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: but he's still a good cornerback. And last year he

1056
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: actually did pretty well. He had an eighty eight yard

1057
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 1: game of the touchdown in his seventy seven yard game

1058
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: of the touchdown. So we'll keep us B grade on

1059
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. Uh. Sammy Watkins is on the bench. It's

1060
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,959
Speaker 1: his third team in three seasons. Was hoping to see

1061
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: some preseason chemistry with Mahomes, but Homes didn't even look

1062
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 1: at him, hardly threw to him at all. And I'm

1063
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 1: nervous about that, and I need to see more. Plus

1064
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: he as a brutal matchup with Casey Hayward elite cornerback.

1065
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: So Sammy Watkins is on the bench. Travis Kelsey as

1066
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: C grade here. He's seen this team a lot and

1067
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: the Chargers just own him. Over the past two seasons.

1068
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey's average game thirty two yards. Zero touched him.

1069
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 1: That is it. So yeah, we're gonna We're gonna be

1070
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 1: careful on Travis Kelsey with a C. Great, let's go

1071
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: to the Charger side of this. Melvin Gordon obvious A grade.

1072
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers also in A grade even though, and by

1073
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: the way, is my number four quarterback overall this week.

1074
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: Did not farewell in this matchup last year, but that's

1075
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: when they had Marcus Peters on the field. They have

1076
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 1: know Marcus Peters Eric Berries, and they thought they thought

1077
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: Eric Berries and his achilles injury from last year to

1078
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 1: be ready to go. He's not gonna go in this game.

1079
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: So they're shorthanded at cornerback, They're shorthanded at safety. This

1080
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: looks like a great, great opportunity for Philip Rivers. The

1081
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: new look Chief secondary got roasted in the preseason by

1082
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, Chase Daniel, and Brandon Weedon when they played

1083
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: against the first stringers. Say we're killing the Chiefs first

1084
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,360
Speaker 1: string secondary in the preseason. For whatever that's worth. I

1085
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 1: love Philip Rivers. That means I love I love Keenan

1086
00:56:55,840 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: Allen as well. Um of note, though, Kendall Fuller was

1087
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 1: the cornerback who came over to the Chiefs in the

1088
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: Alex Smith deal. He's a slot cornerback and he's really good.

1089
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen runs the majority of his routes out of

1090
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 1: the slot. He's the best, He's the one good. The

1091
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: one good player in the entire secondary for the Chiefs

1092
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: is slack cornerback Kendall flu Fuller, and that's who Keenan

1093
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: Allen gets from most of this game. I still have

1094
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: him as an A grade, and he won't play always

1095
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: in the slot. Keenan Allen never scored a touchdown against

1096
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. How about that we're also weird. I still

1097
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: have an A grade on Allan, but it's not like

1098
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: a plus like you'd think it necessarily would be. How

1099
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: About let's give Mike Mike Williams a startable grade right here,

1100
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: right off the back. Let's do I like him here.

1101
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: He's got it's a perfect opportunity, he'll get one of

1102
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: those outside cornerbacks that are that are disaster either Orlando Scandrick, who,

1103
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 1: by the way, has owenly ever played slot cornerback. They've

1104
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: kicked him outside, so he's effectively playing out of position.

1105
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,919
Speaker 1: Steve Nelson is awful. Great matchups for Mike Williams here.

1106
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: The only thing working against Mike Williams last year's first

1107
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 1: rounder is they rotate Travis Benjamin and in tyrolle Williams in.

1108
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: But Williams is the big bodied guy who takes over

1109
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: red zone duty for Hunter and Gates, and I'm not

1110
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: starting Gates in his first game first week's five days

1111
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: back with the team, he gets a bench grade for me.

1112
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 1: Moving on, Wait, do we have time to move on? No,

1113
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 1: we have time to take a break. We'll take a

1114
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 1: break when we come back. Seattle takes on the Denver Broncos.

1115
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: We already told you that we like case Keenum in

1116
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: this matchup and think he's a sneaky start. What about

1117
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: his receivers. We'll tell you who he can start when

1118
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: we come back. This is Fantasy Football Weekly presented by

00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: Let's move on through our matchups, beginning with Seattle taking

1134
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: on the Denver Broncos. Matt, you already gave us case Keenum.

1135
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: As you take a chance on the quarterback, I assume

1136
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 1: automatically like as receivers, Yeah, I got Emmanuel Sanders is

1137
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: a b teetering on an a almost In the preseason,

1138
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: Sanders ran about two thirds of his routes from the slot,

1139
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: and last season case Keenum targeted slot receivers fifty nine

1140
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: percent of the time, so that's a big one. And

1141
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: last year Seattle gave up some big games to slot guys.

1142
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald at a hundred and thirteen yards, Nelson Aguilar

1143
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: had a hundred and forty one in a score. I

1144
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: like that a lot. Damarius Thomas, I'm giving him a

1145
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: sea along with Courtland Sutton um also getting a C

1146
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 1: grade in this. The Seahawks do still have one decent

1147
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: corner that's Shack Griffin. Thomas is the better player, but

1148
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: he runs most of his routes at the left corner.

1149
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: That's Shack Griffin. Seattle's corners don't switch side, so he

1150
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 1: draws the toughest matchup in the game. And I'll talk

1151
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more about Courtland Sutton in a later

1152
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: later segments. Royce Freeman, I gotta b grade on and

1153
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: it's teetering close to an A. He averaged five point

1154
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: six yards per carry in the preseason and the Broncos

1155
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 1: ranked sixth in the league last year in rushing attempts.

1156
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: Freeman is a big dude. He's six o two thirty eight.

1157
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: He's a power back. He's not Adrian Peterson. But he's

1158
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: in the mold of Adrian Peterson. And the reason I

1159
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: bring him up is his offensive coordinator is Bill Musgrave,

1160
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: who ran Adrian Peterson into the ground. He averaged twenty

1161
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: three touches per game when Adrian in was was hooked

1162
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: up with Musgrave. I don't think that it will get

1163
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: twenty three touches per game, but twenties not out of

1164
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: the realm of possibility. So I like Royce Freeman quite

1165
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: a bit. On the Seattle side, Chris Carson and Rashad

1166
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: Penny are on the bench. We still believe the Carson

1167
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: has won the job and Penny mixes in as the

1168
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: change of pace back, but they're running against the Denver

1169
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 1: defense that only allowed one back to top a hundred

1170
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: yards in the final eleven games of the season, only

1171
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: allowed four touchdowns the running backs over the final seven

1172
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: and Seattle's red zone inefficiency last year running back pitching

1173
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 1: was awful. So I'm putting those guys on the bench.

1174
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin's getting a C grade. He's playing through a

1175
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: knee injury, likely for most of the season. He's facing

1176
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: off against Chris Harris, who would by all accounts is

1177
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 1: still a shutdown corner. So this is almost a bench

1178
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 1: grade for Doug Baldwin. It's a tough one for him,

1179
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: and I like Baldwin on the season. I hate this

1180
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 1: matchup with Baldwin, who I love. Tyler Lockett. Yeah, I

1181
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: gave a lock At a C grade. I gave him

1182
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: a start. I normally wouldn't give Tyler Lockett to start,

1183
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 1: but he gets one. He gets to match up against

1184
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: a key no, a main brock for a main brock

1185
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: that's not hard, who wasn't good enough to see the

1186
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 1: field for like more than two snaps as a Viking

1187
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: last year, and he's starting right now against Tyler Lockett

1188
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: in this game. I think you can lock it up

1189
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 1: that he'll get six sketches in this game. Yeah, Nick

1190
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: Vannette is my starting tight end. He was might take

1191
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 1: a chance on me guy and Russell Wilson he gets

1192
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: to be again. If they can't run, this offense falls

1193
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: on the shoulders of Russell Wilson. He's gonna do it

1194
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 1: with his feet, he's gonna do it with his arm,

1195
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 1: and he just puts up numbers. So I kind of

1196
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 1: like Russell Wilson here. Scott Dallas takes on Carolina. My

1197
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: big worry on Dallas was that we had Ezekiel Elliot's

1198
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 1: offensive line was in shambles, and you know, we had

1199
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: all kinds of injuries and problems. It looks like four

1200
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: out of five are gonna be back because I feel

1201
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: a lot better about that offensive line and Zeke's and

1202
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 1: no brainer, right, no brainer. It's a tough matchup against

1203
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 1: the Panthers, who only allowed two yard rushers last season.

1204
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 1: But Zeke was second the NFL and touches per game

1205
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: when he played. He's gonna he's gonna get touches in

1206
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 1: this game. Dac was might take a chance on me guy.

1207
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,439
Speaker 1: But his receivers, I don't know where it's going. Thirty here,

1208
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: forty here, twenty here. Someone might get eighty, but someone

1209
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: might get eighty. But I don't know who it's gonna

1210
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:20,439
Speaker 1: be game. Yeah, receiver, yeah, bench. All the receivers, Zeke

1211
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 1: and Dak are the only startable ones over on the

1212
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: Panther side. I'm giving Cam a B grade. The Cowboys

1213
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,439
Speaker 1: were middle of the pack last season. They didn't really

1214
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,479
Speaker 1: make any changes to the secondary. I'm not gonna count

1215
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 1: Week seventeen because that was like a full Sudfeld game,

1216
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 1: but the fifteen game, the fourteen games prior to that,

1217
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: they gave up multiple touchdowns and eleven of them. So

1218
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: I like Cam, and Cam rushed for over fifty yards

1219
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 1: nine times, nine times, nine times. He's got a great

1220
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 1: great rushing floor. B grade for Cam Funches. Main guy

1221
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 1: given him a B grade as well. He scored or

1222
01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:59,919
Speaker 1: hit a hundred yards in five of his final seven game.

1223
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys allowed the second most touchdowns and the seventh most

1224
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 1: receptions to wide receivers. He's the only wide receiver I like.

1225
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 1: But tight ends Greg Olson A grade. Hurt a lot

1226
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: last year, but he saw a hundred plus targets five

1227
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: years in a row before that. In his last four

1228
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 1: games last year, including the playoffs, nine point seven five

1229
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 1: targets per game in the preseason. Yeah, absolutely A grade there.

1230
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: C J. Anderson, I need to see his usage first

1231
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 1: before I even touch him. But Christian McCaffrey A grade.

1232
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get huge volume played in the

1233
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: first team snaps. He he was all over the field

1234
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: Dallas bottom six and receptions and receiving yards to running backs.

1235
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: A grade for McCaffrey. Washington takes on Arizona. These teams

1236
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: played each other last year, and you'll hear me reference

1237
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: at a couple of times here. Let's start with the

1238
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: passing game for Washington, and not a lot to talk

1239
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: about here. I had Alex Smith on the bench. A

1240
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: very pedestrian and uninspiring preseason for Alex Smith in Washington.

1241
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 1: It's just first game in a new system against a

1242
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 1: really good past defense that features Patrick Peterson. I'm gonna

1243
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: take await and see approach with Alex Smith. Only one

1244
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: quarterback hit three yards all year against Arizona last season,

1245
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: and in the second half of the year, Arizona only

1246
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 1: averaged one touchdown pass allowed per game one, So you're

1247
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: all that together. I'm not starting Alex Smith. That holds

1248
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: most of the receivers uh down as well. Jamison Crowder

1249
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: gets a C grade here. He did put up, he

1250
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: did score a touchdown in the Week fifteen meeting last year.

1251
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: He doesn't get Honey Badger out of the slot anymore.

1252
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: And Crowder is a slot receiver. Honey Badger is gone.

1253
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna get Arizona's jack of all trades of Buddha Baker.

1254
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: He's not bad, and you might even be as good

1255
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 1: as Honey Badger. Um, so it's a C grade on

1256
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder. I think they'll be passes there your best

1257
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: receiving option, though Jordan reed Hunter percent healthy, enjoy it

1258
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: while you can. Last year for two quarters, that's right,

1259
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: Arizona ranked below average in receptions and touchdowns allowed to

1260
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: tight ends, and they'll need to cover Read. Without Honey Badger,

1261
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: who did oftentimes pick up opposing good tight ends, he

1262
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 1: won't be able to do that here. Um. He was

1263
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 1: injured for the Redskins meeting last year, so you didn't

1264
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:16,479
Speaker 1: do we didn't play, and then Vernon Davis did nothing

1265
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 1: in that matchup. So there hasn't done a lot of

1266
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 1: history to suggest that that a great game is coming

1267
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 1: for Read. But we'll just play him when he's healthy,

1268
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 1: because he is. He's a great tight end when he's healthy.

1269
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson revenge game, revenge game of sorts, second Cardinals.

1270
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: Yeah that he opens with a revenge game Viking game. Notably,

1271
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 1: the Vikings were going to open with a revenge game

1272
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: against the running back for the second year in a

1273
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 1: row until Jerick McKinnon. There's that too, uh. In their

1274
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 1: two years over the last two years, the Cardinals defense

1275
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 1: has allowed to running backs the top one rushing yards

1276
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: that is it to run a hundred yard games in

1277
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 1: the last two years. Last season, they gave up three

1278
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 1: point five yards per carry, third best in the league.

1279
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 1: The Cardinals defensive personnel rolls over to this year almost

1280
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 1: entirely intact. Chris Thompson's gonna catch all the catch all

1281
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 1: the balls, and I think he has a major factor

1282
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 1: in on this game. And he was already might take

1283
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: a chance on me player Chris Thompson was, so as

1284
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 1: you can tell, I don't like Adrian much. I think

1285
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: you're hoping for a goal line run. I have him

1286
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 1: as a barely capable C grade here, and frankly, if

1287
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 1: you're bench ing, I think you're probably gonna be glad

1288
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: you did. Let's go to the Arizona side. I already

1289
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: told you that Sam Bradford was might take a chance

1290
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: on me quarterback. I love Larry Fitzgerald and a grade

1291
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: here when they met in UM when they met in

1292
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: week fifteen of last year, it was only five catches

1293
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 1: for sixty yards. But keep in mind Cardinals are starting

1294
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 1: blaying Gabbert in that game, so we're just gonna throw

1295
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: that out, and what we know is that Larry Fitzgerald

1296
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 1: is not is gonna be running from the slot, and

1297
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be with Kendall Fuller. I've mentioned a slot

1298
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 1: cornerback now like five times in the show. Without Kendall

1299
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 1: Fuller there for Washington, they're filling in with something called

1300
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: Fabian Moreau, who was one of the worst graded slot

1301
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 1: cornerbacks in the league last year. It's a great matchup

1302
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: for Fitzgerald, obviously grade for him, and obviously grade for

1303
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: David Johnson. We'll take a break when we come back

1304
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: our final set of matchups. Premature speculation. Who are the

1305
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: three players you want to pick up today that everybody

1306
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: will be clamoring for next week and you already got him.

1307
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 1: Find out when we come back, plus your calls and

1308
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 1: lightning round looming as well. This is Fantasy Football Weekly

1309
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 1: presented by Devans. Final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. We

1310
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 1: are now twenty four and a half hours away from

1311
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: the first football Sunday's Obviously I can't wait in this

1312
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 1: spot every week we do premature speculation. These are three

1313
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 1: guys we believe you should pick up now that will

1314
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:04,600
Speaker 1: be waiver wire hits next week, but will already be

1315
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 1: on your team. Is it speculative yes, is it premature, yes,

1316
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 1: But that's half the fun when you hit on one

1317
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 1: of these And Everbo, he's trying to pick up a

1318
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:14,560
Speaker 1: guy that's already on your roster. And people think you

1319
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: are brilliant, but actually you just listen to the show.

1320
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,639
Speaker 1: You're not brillian, You're not at all. You just listen

1321
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 1: to us. Uh, let's begin with Scott. Who you got?

1322
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:26,599
Speaker 1: I have Ben Watson. I don't love his matchup against

1323
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: the Bucks this week, but next week he gets a

1324
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,639
Speaker 1: tasty matchup against the Browns. Third most yards and third

1325
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:36,559
Speaker 1: most touchdowns allowed. Two tight ends last year. Ben Watson

1326
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 1: was tight end eleven for Baltimore last year and tight

1327
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 1: end seven with Breeze's back. With Breeze, he looked great

1328
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 1: in camp. Only about owned. I think you can sneak

1329
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 1: him now and then have it payoff next week and

1330
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 1: for maybe the rest of the season. All right. Matt

1331
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,639
Speaker 1: guy mentioned earlier was Courtland Sutton. He's thirty five percent

1332
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 1: owned in CBS leagues. Sutton's a rookie who will line

1333
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 1: up as one of the outside receivers op sit to

1334
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:03,799
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas. Big body dude had a sixteen yard touchdown

1335
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: in the preseason where he displayed some really nice hands,

1336
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,560
Speaker 1: looked very quick. If the preseason routes run are in

1337
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 1: the indication, Sutton's gonna run a lot of routes on

1338
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 1: the outside with Emmanuel Sanders in the slot and to

1339
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 1: Marius on the other side. I really like him. I

1340
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 1: think he's gonna score touchdown this week and I think

1341
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 1: people will be picking him up next week. He had

1342
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:24,680
Speaker 1: a really good He probably had Uh, Sutton probably had

1343
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 1: the best preseason of any rookie wide receiver. Yeah. Maybe.

1344
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 1: I mean James Washington was pretty, he had an amazing

1345
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 1: catch and he look he looked good. But Sutton was.

1346
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 1: They threw obviously they you mean, here's my number one

1347
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 1: ranked coming out for a couple of years. Evan Silva

1348
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 1: made an old prediction that he out he has more

1349
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 1: receiving yards and touchdowns into Marius Thomas this year. Dang,

1350
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:50,640
Speaker 1: that's that's that would be an impressive season if he

1351
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: pulls that off. My premature speculation player. One of Tom

1352
01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 1: Brady's starting wide receivers is eight percent owned what's eight

1353
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 1: percent owned? Philip Dorset. As you heard earlier, in the show.

1354
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,720
Speaker 1: I've got a starting grade on Doorset this week, and

1355
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna happen a lot here. And there

1356
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 1: might be a temptation to think that Dorset is just

1357
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:19,680
Speaker 1: a rental until Julian Edelman comes back. But Edelman comes

1358
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,799
Speaker 1: back to the slot. Who's the other outside receiver opposite

1359
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:27,640
Speaker 1: opposite Chris Hogan, Philip Dorset. He's gonna stay. He's going

1360
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: to stay primarily in the starting rock lineup for this

1361
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 1: offense all year long. Philip Dorsett, one of Tom Brady's

1362
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:38,040
Speaker 1: starting receivers available almost certainly in your league. Let's go

1363
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 1: back to our matchups knock down the last year, and

1364
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 1: I'll mention lightning round is looming. Now is the time

1365
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 1: to call and get queued up for Lightning round one.

1366
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 1: Three two zero five, three two six is the number.

1367
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 1: Most of you know it by now. It's our first

1368
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: chance to really take calls all all since all season

1369
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 1: in this show. We're excited to chat with you. You

1370
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: can certainly call and will put our board up. Seawn

1371
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 1: to hard work here Chicago taking on the Green Bay Packers.

1372
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 1: Matt for Chicago. I think everybody's very excited to see

1373
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:10,599
Speaker 1: a brand new offense and what they're gonna get here

1374
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:12,880
Speaker 1: in week one. Yeah, I said treat Cohen was mightna

1375
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:14,640
Speaker 1: take a chance of me running back, which means I

1376
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: obviously like Jordan Howard as well. I gotta b grade

1377
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 1: on him if you go on past performance, though he'd

1378
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 1: probably be more like a C because last year he

1379
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:24,560
Speaker 1: only total the hundred and seven total rushing yards and

1380
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: two tries against the Packers. But I'm buying in in

1381
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 1: the Matt Naggy hype. Uh, and I think the game

1382
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 1: script should favor the Bears trying to play tough defense,

1383
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:36,240
Speaker 1: short passes and running the ball. I think that that's

1384
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: what they're going to try to do is grind Howard

1385
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: in this away game. Um, Mitch Rubinsky, I got him

1386
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 1: on the bench. Though. That Packer defense is looking better.

1387
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 1: They added Mohammed Wilkerson, cornerbacks Trean Tremon Williams, jayro Alexander

1388
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 1: and Josh Jackson this offseason, But does all that come

1389
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 1: together in the first week of a new defense. All

1390
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: the specifically looked good in in the in the past season.

1391
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: So Um Trubisky did throw for two nine seven against

1392
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 1: the Packers in one meeting last season. The only one

1393
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 1: only one touchdown in that game, though I'm still nervous

1394
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 1: about his downfield throwing ability. You probably drafted a better

1395
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 1: starting quarterback anyway, Allen Robinson. I gave him a C grade.

1396
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 1: By the way, three thousand dollars on fanball oops. So

1397
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 1: if you want to go play fanball dot com slash Radio,

1398
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 1: go play Allen Robinson for three thousand UM in that

1399
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:27,639
Speaker 1: game last year, Rubisky through a lot at Dontrelle Inman

1400
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 1: and Kendall Wright each had eight targets, but Inman had

1401
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:32,639
Speaker 1: the production from the outside spot where he tailed six

1402
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:35,760
Speaker 1: six catches for eighty eight yards. That's where Robinson should be.

1403
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 1: I like him quite a bit. Anthony Miller and Taylor

1404
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 1: Gabriel on the bench, but Trey Burton he gets a

1405
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,600
Speaker 1: C grade. Tough match up here. The Packers allowed the

1406
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 1: six fewest yards and touchdowns the tight ends last season.

1407
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:48,800
Speaker 1: Only four scores allowed last year. And I was talking

1408
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 1: with Fish about this and he convinced me to give

1409
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 1: him a starting grade because after watching Trubisky and Burton

1410
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 1: chemistry throughout the season, maybe he fills the Travis Kelsey

1411
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 1: role in this offense and he's just just a target hog.

1412
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely all years, so I give him a SEE start.

1413
01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:07,879
Speaker 1: On the other side, Aaron Rodgers obvious A grade. Davante

1414
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 1: Adams obvious A grade. Led the league in red zone

1415
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,679
Speaker 1: targets and touchdowns over the last two years. Jimmy Graham

1416
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 1: obvious A grade. Led the NFL and red zone targets

1417
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: and touchdowns last year. They're gonna do some red zone

1418
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 1: targets and touchdowns. I think history would suggest that career

1419
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 1: numbers against Chicago, by the way, for Jimmy Graham and

1420
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 1: four games, he's never had fewer than seventy nine yards.

1421
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:34,639
Speaker 1: Um Geronimo Allison, Randall, Cobb, Marquez, Valdis Scandaling, Equanimius st Brown,

1422
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 1: Jamond more fun names to say, but they're all on

1423
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 1: your bench. Um. There's five guys vying for the number

1424
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,680
Speaker 1: two and number three roster spots in Green Bay. But

1425
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,760
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams, I'm giving him a B grade in this game.

1426
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 1: Over the final eight games of last season, William's average

1427
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 1: twenty point four touches per game, and in PPR formats

1428
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 1: he was running back number eight. He had twenty one

1429
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:57,639
Speaker 1: touches in the November matchup between these two teams. Aaron

1430
01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 1: Jones has suspended time Montgomer He's not gonna be in play.

1431
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:02,320
Speaker 1: I feel there's a pretty good chance it's the twenty

1432
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 1: touch mark again. Next next matchup the Jets taking on

1433
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 1: the Lions, and when the Jets take the field of

1434
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:15,640
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, he will be the NFL's youngest ever starting quarterback.

1435
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: Can you possibly trust that with your fantasy lineup twenty

1436
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:23,519
Speaker 1: one years and days crazy? Yeah, No, I don't think

1437
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 1: you can. I'm gonna give a hat tip to Rich

1438
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 1: Rebar for this stat. The six quarterbacks six year old

1439
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to start average eleven yards, seven touchdowns, and six interceptions. Yeah,

1440
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,679
Speaker 1: that's not good, especially when you put it over six

1441
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:43,919
Speaker 1: six quarterbacks. Uh, they only attempted and he only attempted

1442
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,759
Speaker 1: one pass over twenty yards in the preseason, So naturally,

1443
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm benching all of his wide receivers and his tight ends.

1444
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 1: If I was going to take a dark throw, it

1445
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 1: might be a noon one who at six two is

1446
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:56,120
Speaker 1: going to have a four to five inch advantage against

1447
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 1: the Lions slot corners. But I'm probably not. I'm still

1448
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 1: benching them the running game, I'm also benching both of them.

1449
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:07,560
Speaker 1: The numbers suggest that Powell may have taken over the

1450
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,040
Speaker 1: starting job. I've seen a lot of analysts say that

1451
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:13,879
Speaker 1: he logged seventy of the starter snaps with the Donald

1452
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:16,600
Speaker 1: led first team in the third preseason game, and the

1453
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: lines allowed the second most receptions and were bottom ten

1454
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 1: in receiving yards allowed to running backs. But I just

1455
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:26,919
Speaker 1: well got a bunch of receptions in that third preseason

1456
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 1: game team, so I don't even know where that's gonna

1457
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 1: just I'm benching all of that. Uh So, basically, every

1458
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: Jet just don't start them. On the other side, I'm

1459
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 1: starting a lot of Lions. Stafford I given a grade two.

1460
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 1: Jets allowed the second most touchdown passes last year. Stafford

1461
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:46,560
Speaker 1: had multiple touchdowns or over three yards in twelve of

1462
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 1: the sixteen games. He's a lock for yards every year.

1463
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:54,639
Speaker 1: Uh The Jets allowed multiple touchdowns in ten games last year.

1464
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 1: A grade there in a grade for Golden Taid his

1465
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,439
Speaker 1: main guy, He's gonna the screen door in the slot.

1466
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 1: I love that matchup for him. The Jets not great

1467
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 1: against wide receivers. They allowed a wide receiver to score

1468
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 1: or reach a hundred yards in eight of their final

1469
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 1: ten games, and they gave up the ninth most fantasy

1470
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 1: points to wide receivers. I'm only giving both Jones and

1471
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 1: Gala Day C grades, though, when when Galaday played, Marvin

1472
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: Jones average five point one targets. When Gala Day was out,

1473
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones average ten point two targets. They cannibalize each other.

1474
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:31,839
Speaker 1: They cannibalize each other. But Golladay has that touchdown upside

1475
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,760
Speaker 1: and Jones Jones, and this matchup I think is still

1476
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 1: see you start worthy, just barely. Luke Wilson's sneaky value.

1477
01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:41,640
Speaker 1: Jets allowed third most touchdowns to tight ends last year.

1478
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:45,639
Speaker 1: Detroit through the sixth most touchdowns to tight ends last year.

1479
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,640
Speaker 1: There's there's a sneaky C value for Wilson in the

1480
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 1: in the running game. I don't love any of it,

1481
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: but I'm barely going to give carry On a C

1482
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 1: grade because I think he's the best of the bunch,

1483
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 1: and I think when I've seen all the media reports

1484
01:17:57,479 --> 01:18:00,360
Speaker 1: that la Garrett Blond is gonna start oh Man, that

1485
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:04,840
Speaker 1: fantasy owners are gonna go punk Man, I had carry

1486
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:06,680
Speaker 1: On with a C grade because I think he's the

1487
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 1: best and Hill he is the best of the hell,

1488
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 1: take it out doesn't mean Blood doesn't start to maybe

1489
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 1: get a bunch of carries right well, and who's gonna

1490
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 1: get the receptions? Theoretic who's gonna get the goal line carries? Probably?

1491
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 1: Jets were bottom tend and receiving yards allowed ruining backs

1492
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 1: and allowed the second most receiving touchdowns running backs, So

1493
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 1: ridic I have a C grade on Uh yeah, it's

1494
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 1: a gross situation. I wouldn't I wouldn't fault you for

1495
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 1: benching to either. Alright, final match up here is the

1496
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 1: Rams taking on the Oakland Raiders. I don't need to

1497
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 1: tell you what to do with Todd Gurley, will just

1498
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 1: leave him as an a start. But let's mention this

1499
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:43,120
Speaker 1: about the Rams, and this is fascinating. No starters played

1500
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 1: all preseason. You think there are thirty one teams. So

1501
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:48,320
Speaker 1: you gotta watch and see how the Rams start this

1502
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 1: game to try to figure out whether or not they

1503
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 1: should be doing the same thing we don't. Do they

1504
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:54,879
Speaker 1: come out sluggish? Do they if they miss the chemistry?

1505
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:57,800
Speaker 1: Not having done any and not adding any preseason games,

1506
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 1: that'll be interesting to watch for sure, Gay or girlies

1507
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,240
Speaker 1: an a start. Let's go to the passing game. B

1508
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 1: grades for golf, woods, cooks, and cup golf is um

1509
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 1: you know. Here's the Raiders. They just traded arguably the

1510
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 1: league's best edge rusher, Khalil Mackaway, and they didn't upgrade

1511
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:14,519
Speaker 1: their worst their third worst past defense from last year.

1512
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 1: Personnel wise, last year, golf faced past defense is ranked

1513
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:20,799
Speaker 1: in the bottom third of the league five different times,

1514
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 1: and in those five games against bad lower tier past

1515
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 1: defenses is average game three hundred thirteen yards and three

1516
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:32,639
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. So I like golf here, I like Woods,

1517
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 1: I like Cooks, I like Cup. Let's talk Woods first.

1518
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: Over Wood's last six games, he averaged six catches, ninety

1519
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 1: yards and almost a touchdown per game. So we finished

1520
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 1: last year really well, great numbers. The Raiders have exactly

1521
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:50,719
Speaker 1: one cornerback with a pulse, Rashaan Melvin, and he cannot

1522
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 1: simultaneously guard Woods and Cooks and Cup. And I think

1523
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:59,719
Speaker 1: the familiarity that Golf and Woods have will may trump

1524
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 1: what Goff would have with Cooks this week as a

1525
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:07,760
Speaker 1: member the Patriots, though Cooks played this Raiders team last

1526
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 1: year hundred fifty yards and a touchdown, so Cook's obviously

1527
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 1: is it is certainly in play here, as Tom Brady

1528
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:21,320
Speaker 1: slinging him the ball. Though, to like the went on.

1529
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:23,559
Speaker 1: They didn't. They didn't get to play in the preseason though,

1530
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 1: so I think you can reasonably question whether or not

1531
01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:28,680
Speaker 1: golf and cooks have got instant chemistry or not, or

1532
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 1: is that all stuff all overrated. Cooper Cup ended seen

1533
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:34,200
Speaker 1: by scoring and or topping one yards and four of

1534
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 1: the last six. He finished last year well as well.

1535
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:40,120
Speaker 1: This week he goes up against slot corner Leon Hall,

1536
01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 1: who we all thought retired, you know, a decade ago,

1537
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 1: apparently still playing and he's manning the slot and it's

1538
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:48,200
Speaker 1: a it's a great matchup for Cup. Let's go to

1539
01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:51,840
Speaker 1: the Oakland side of this game. Marshall Lynch has a

1540
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:54,080
Speaker 1: groin injury that you want to check out. Hopefully you

1541
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 1: can go in this game. I'll be disappointed if I

1542
01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:59,680
Speaker 1: would rather not check out. I didn't say check out

1543
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:02,120
Speaker 1: his roy to check out the injury. I'm just laughing

1544
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:04,720
Speaker 1: because this is the first of many times where it

1545
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:08,559
Speaker 1: charges like, oh God, Marshawan, please come back, please come back.

1546
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 1: And here's why. The only way you're gonna beat the

1547
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 1: Rams here is on the ground. The Rams allowed the

1548
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 1: fifth most rushing yards last year, but they added in

1549
01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:17,600
Speaker 1: Dominican sue is a legitimate run stuffer. So you know,

1550
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:19,519
Speaker 1: they're probably not gonna be fifth worst here, but they're

1551
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:22,760
Speaker 1: much better. They're much better as a past defense. I'm

1552
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:24,880
Speaker 1: just I'm nervous. The Rams jump out to a big lead,

1553
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 1: and now you know, how much can you reasonably run

1554
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch at that point. Um North South power Backs,

1555
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:35,599
Speaker 1: though similar to Lot similar to Marshawn Lynch did farewell

1556
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 1: last year. Zekiel Elliott had a good game letter for

1557
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 1: NET had a good good game. I just worry that.

1558
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 1: I just worry that they're not gonna be able to

1559
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:44,960
Speaker 1: get the ball to Lynch more than like a dozen

1560
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:47,400
Speaker 1: times in this one. So unfortunately, he's a C grade

1561
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:49,120
Speaker 1: for me, even though I wanted to be better than that.

1562
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 1: And again check his check the status of his groin injury.

1563
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,599
Speaker 1: Let's go to the passing game. Derek Carr's on the bench.

1564
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 1: Issues a plenty here. He had a bad preseason. He's

1565
01:21:57,560 --> 01:21:59,760
Speaker 1: got he's trying to ingest a new offensive scheme. It's

1566
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:02,760
Speaker 1: just third offensive coordinator in three years. He's facing a

1567
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:05,719
Speaker 1: keep to leave and he's facing he's facing Marcus Peters.

1568
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 1: There's just no matchups that I like in this one,

1569
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 1: and that brings us to a Marie Cooper who gets

1570
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:15,120
Speaker 1: a C grade. And if you're Cooper, you're thinking to yourself, finally,

1571
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:17,479
Speaker 1: I've ridden myself and Marcus Peterson to keep to leave

1572
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:20,600
Speaker 1: in my division. And here they both come as they

1573
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 1: get traded. They both get traded to his week one

1574
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 1: opponents game. First game, he's got to go look at

1575
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 1: him again. He's only got to play him one time though,

1576
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 1: that's right, only one time and only this week. This

1577
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 1: could be the worst week of the year for Mary Cooper.

1578
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:35,920
Speaker 1: It's possible. Slow start last year is everybody remembers as well.

1579
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson's on the bench the Green Bay, the team

1580
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,160
Speaker 1: that knew Hivest kicked him to the curb. We don't

1581
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 1: need to we don't need to go with Jordy Nelson,

1582
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:47,799
Speaker 1: I'm happy to say, and look at that, we actually

1583
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:49,680
Speaker 1: have a few minutes for Lightning Round. I love it.

1584
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:52,439
Speaker 1: Every mon I hear this song. At any time, I

1585
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 1: just feel like I need to start answering questions arbitrarily.

1586
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:58,240
Speaker 1: It could be you could be playing at the mall

1587
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: or my background, and so just start asking me questions.

1588
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 1: It's great, Uh, this is your chance to call in now.

1589
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:09,599
Speaker 1: As a reminder how the rules work on Lightning Round.

1590
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:11,680
Speaker 1: Because there's a new season, we have many first time

1591
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:14,720
Speaker 1: listeners somehow managed to miss our previous twenty three years

1592
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:19,640
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Football Week. One question between two players. That's it.

1593
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,160
Speaker 1: Don't find one of three. I don't want one of three.

1594
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:23,840
Speaker 1: I don't want two or four. I don't want five

1595
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 1: or seven. One question, one one player. One got one

1596
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 1: question only one question only, and it hasked to be

1597
01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: between two players. That's it. I think we've established the

1598
01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:37,680
Speaker 1: ground rules. And then you hang up and listen and

1599
01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:40,040
Speaker 1: try to call back again, and maybe that's true. Question.

1600
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:41,680
Speaker 1: You can do that, and I will hang up on

1601
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,160
Speaker 1: you after you give the question. So listen via the delay,

1602
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 1: listen to the listen to the answer on the radio.

1603
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:48,639
Speaker 1: Unless you're out state, then tell me and I'll try

1604
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 1: to put you on hold instead, but we prefer not to. Michael,

1605
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 1: you are first, and thank you for your patients today.

1606
01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 1: Thank you a lot of ticket. Jay Wyn Samuels, who

1607
01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 1: is running back tight end, I was a body and

1608
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 1: Yahoo or Cordel Patterson him he might be like, except

1609
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 1: the running back, not the wide receiver. For me, it's

1610
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 1: definitely Patterson. I think he has much more big playoffside Samuel.

1611
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean, and we don't. If Bell comes back, Samuel's

1612
01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:23,599
Speaker 1: is going to completely lose any value. Yeah, I'm I'm

1613
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 1: with him on that. Thank you, Michael Mark, You're next

1614
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:31,639
Speaker 1: on the show. Yeah, great show, guys, love love the show.

1615
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:37,439
Speaker 1: Thank you, PPR. Kenny Stills or Tyler Lockett. I got

1616
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett. I like him better than Kenny Still. Scott

1617
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,800
Speaker 1: Fish would probably disagree with me, but I've definitely got

1618
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:47,040
Speaker 1: locking Kenny Still. Kenny Stills has got the avount. Dolphins

1619
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 1: are playing from behind throughout and throw up regularly, so

1620
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:51,800
Speaker 1: volume might be on working in his favor. I think

1621
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 1: it's it. Hafon, Do I have the name right? You

1622
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:58,800
Speaker 1: got it? Nice? I was going great to have you back.

1623
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:01,800
Speaker 1: Thank you. All right, here's what I got half point

1624
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 1: charges favorite of Man Hill or t Y Helton this week.

1625
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm not touching Andrew Luck and even his receivers until

1626
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,600
Speaker 1: I see more proof that he can sling the ball downfield,

1627
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:16,600
Speaker 1: and we got none of that proof in the preseason.

1628
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:18,720
Speaker 1: Let's go with Hill, who scored in both of the

1629
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:23,559
Speaker 1: matchups with the Chargers last year. Lucas your next, Hey, guys,

1630
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 1: thank you for taking my call. Thank you. I got

1631
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 1: a half point TPR F Marshawn Lynch or Ken Charge

1632
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:35,160
Speaker 1: is gonna hate me for this, but I'm going Kenny

1633
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 1: Stills just based on Marshawn Lynches Monday night with an injury.

1634
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 1: So I'd rather I'd be so much safer with Sills.

1635
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 1: All right, Andy you're next, Andy collars In. We're in

1636
01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 1: preseason four with our callers. You have to turn your

1637
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:55,000
Speaker 1: radio down. If you listen to the radio while you're

1638
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 1: on hold, it'll all it'll mess you up. Trust me

1639
01:25:57,040 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 1: on this. Paul, You're next. I love the soul full

1640
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 1: Pointpru Landry or Connor? All right, that's James Conner. I

1641
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:10,719
Speaker 1: think he's talking about. It's that slug fest game. Connor

1642
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 1: is gonna get more touches for sure. Yeah, I'm still

1643
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:17,439
Speaker 1: going Connor. I might too. Connor can catch a bit.

1644
01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:21,480
Speaker 1: John your next? Are you on a half point? Didpr

1645
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:27,840
Speaker 1: bonus point for long? D uh? Evan Ingram or Mike Evans. Uh.

1646
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:30,639
Speaker 1: We're nervous about both of those guys in this matchup.

1647
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm less nervous about Ingram to Yeah, I think I

1648
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:35,760
Speaker 1: would take Ingram as well. Let's do it. I think

1649
01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 1: that was John. I think I'm on. I think I'm

1650
01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:40,920
Speaker 1: on Andrew, Andrew, Welcome to the show. Hi? They uh

1651
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:44,800
Speaker 1: Stafford or Goff? Oh? I have Stafford higher this week.

1652
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:47,439
Speaker 1: I like Off too, I like him both. I just

1653
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:50,800
Speaker 1: have Stafford a little higher. Okay, Jordan your next. Hey, guys,

1654
01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 1: I was going, um, so I'm thinking either Cooper Copper

1655
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:56,639
Speaker 1: Brandon Cook. Okay, I just talked about both the same game.

1656
01:26:56,680 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 1: Which one did you like better? Um? Well, Cooks did

1657
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:02,200
Speaker 1: roast them R hundred fifty one. You know last year.

1658
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 1: I think the safe play if you just want your

1659
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:08,599
Speaker 1: receptions and move on, is Cooper cup touchdown too. But hey,

1660
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:10,479
Speaker 1: you can play it like this. It's the late night

1661
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:13,360
Speaker 1: game on Monday night. Look at your team if you

1662
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 1: need to need the home run. Yeah, you're exactly right. Yeah,

1663
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 1: that's exactly the right play. On that DJ, your next

1664
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:27,799
Speaker 1: r D that it's Sutton or Cooper. I'm sure couldn't

1665
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:32,960
Speaker 1: hear that? Yeah heard it. I thought it was Kay,

1666
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:35,559
Speaker 1: But I'm nervous. I'm very nervous about Cooper, and I'll

1667
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:37,720
Speaker 1: go with love. Matt's take a chance of you, guys,

1668
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 1: Sutton in this matchup. Joey your next? What's up, gentleman

1669
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:47,519
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb or John Robs PPR Right, I'm going to Thross.

1670
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:50,799
Speaker 1: I think he has the better upside for a big play. Patrick,

1671
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 1: you're on the fan. Yeah, how guys, mar Kenny Skills,

1672
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:56,800
Speaker 1: Would you take Skills or Marquis Goodwin and Standard Beach?

1673
01:27:57,720 --> 01:28:00,800
Speaker 1: It depends on Rhodes right. Well, see, I don't think

1674
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 1: it does. For Goodwind one's gonna get Trey Waynes no

1675
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 1: matter what. It's gonna be straight line speed versus straight

1676
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 1: line speed. I don't see any scenario where Roads regularly

1677
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:11,719
Speaker 1: would have got, would get or will get Goodwin speed,

1678
01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:14,400
Speaker 1: because that's that puts Roads in a dicey. I'm trying

1679
01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:17,160
Speaker 1: to defer to you, guys, because I unnaturally hate Stills,

1680
01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 1: so I go I would go Stills. I like he

1681
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 1: Stills matchup better, and I if Goodwin doesn't get you

1682
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:28,840
Speaker 1: that long catch, he hurts you. I'm just wearing down

1683
01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 1: our office. I think you are and Kenny Stills. Marty

1684
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 1: you're next. Yeah, Marquis Mars Markis Lee was put on ill,

1685
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:40,760
Speaker 1: so we should go that one's That one's gonna be

1686
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:47,400
Speaker 1: pretty easy. Todd, you're next PPR conn or Cook Okay,

1687
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:53,519
Speaker 1: not Connor, Dalvin Cook or James Connor Cook. Easy, definitely

1688
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:58,200
Speaker 1: Dalk for me. Okay, will your next? I guess that

1689
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 1: Murder Dalton. Okay, I like them both, having both in

1690
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:08,479
Speaker 1: my top twelve this I'm gonna go Stafford. Leta stick

1691
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 1: with Stafford, yea Stafford. Stafford is my number three quarterback.

1692
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:14,559
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm with you on that Taco A regular

1693
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:20,720
Speaker 1: Hi Lynch or Carson. Yeah, we're all off. We're off

1694
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:23,760
Speaker 1: this whole Seattle offense right now, right. So yeah, but

1695
01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 1: you got the thorny thing with Lynch being the late game.

1696
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:31,280
Speaker 1: If he's a late scratch, you gotta pick up at

1697
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:33,599
Speaker 1: Doug Martin. Yeah, you might have to pick up Doug

1698
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:37,640
Speaker 1: Martin as a as a safety, and that is I

1699
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 1: think he's going to play too, but it's not. And

1700
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:43,720
Speaker 1: because our Monday night game, we're getting later. You know,

1701
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:45,479
Speaker 1: they have a day later on the injury port to

1702
01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:48,360
Speaker 1: help crystallize things. Just be aware that that's a moving target.

1703
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:51,240
Speaker 1: You may know more by kickoff tomorrow. And so we're saying,

1704
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:54,840
Speaker 1: we're saying Raiders running back whoever, that you gotta pick

1705
01:29:54,920 --> 01:30:00,840
Speaker 1: up Martin Jason. Yeah, I got a statard scoring Alex

1706
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:07,240
Speaker 1: Collins or Chris Ogan Collins. I love Colins standards both.

1707
01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:09,599
Speaker 1: They both have eight grades. For me, They're both fantastic.

1708
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:12,280
Speaker 1: Standard makes it coins for sure. Standard scoring is the

1709
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:17,280
Speaker 1: key part of that. I agree. Uh, Don the name

1710
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 1: that's on my screen looks like dom Mingle, which I

1711
01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:23,040
Speaker 1: hope that I don't. I hope that is to make

1712
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:30,400
Speaker 1: Dominique Domino Mingle Mingo. I have no idea. Okay, what

1713
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:34,559
Speaker 1: can we do for you, Domingo? Um standard scoring sex

1714
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:41,120
Speaker 1: flex player idea burke head easily for Uh, Mike, you

1715
01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 1: are next? Guess at one point? Tprgan or Gerald? Oh?

1716
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:55,280
Speaker 1: Is your other receiver? Those are? Those are receivers number

1717
01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:59,320
Speaker 1: five and four. You can't ask that question charts. That's

1718
01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:05,680
Speaker 1: against lightning own rules. I go Fitzgerald, all right? Uh, Kent,

1719
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:09,599
Speaker 1: you are next? Hey? Is it worth dropping by Rod

1720
01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:12,439
Speaker 1: altogether to pick up Dalton in the week? Is it

1721
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:15,280
Speaker 1: worth dropping Tyrod for Dalton? Absolutely? Anton and for the

1722
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:20,320
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Kent? Uh, Jason your next? Drew

1723
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:24,479
Speaker 1: Breeds or Philip Rivers? Oh? Wow? I like Breezes matchup

1724
01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 1: better this week. Breezing my number one quarterback this week,

1725
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:31,400
Speaker 1: Scott your next Trey question, Dina d PPR. Do I

1726
01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:34,519
Speaker 1: trade Davante Adams for a J. Green and Tyler Iborg

1727
01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 1: A J Green and Tyler Ifort. Yeah, I think you

1728
01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 1: can do that. I like a J. Green a lot

1729
01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:43,640
Speaker 1: this year and getting Iford total bonus. Yeah, I like

1730
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:46,640
Speaker 1: it too. Um, everybody replays last year. I've said a

1731
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:49,160
Speaker 1: million times Bengals will be I believe one of the

1732
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:52,080
Speaker 1: two most improved offenses this year. So you're buying low

1733
01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:55,280
Speaker 1: on Bengals and I like it. Andrew your next Adrian

1734
01:31:55,320 --> 01:32:00,720
Speaker 1: Peterson or Alfred Morris bench grades? I'm both guys. I

1735
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:03,439
Speaker 1: would go Adrian because I feel more confident that he

1736
01:32:03,479 --> 01:32:05,599
Speaker 1: has a chance to score a touchdown. Alfred Morris has

1737
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 1: got the tougher matchup and split duty love grita Marie

1738
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:16,559
Speaker 1: is it? Marie? Yes? Murray? Hi, Hi? What's on your mind? Um?

1739
01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:21,360
Speaker 1: Flaco or Mahomes? Al Right, Flack over Mahomes A legit

1740
01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:24,280
Speaker 1: question is but personally, I think I think that that

1741
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:26,439
Speaker 1: Casey game could be more of a shootout. I would

1742
01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:28,720
Speaker 1: risk the upside of Mahomes person Casey's going to be

1743
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:30,519
Speaker 1: a shootout. The entire time I had flat on the

1744
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:34,960
Speaker 1: bench for me. Mike, you are next. Yes, I had

1745
01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:40,720
Speaker 1: a flex position, Lamar Miller or Adrian Peterson. I think

1746
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 1: it's Lamar Miller just because of the guaranteed touchload. Max

1747
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:48,400
Speaker 1: here on the fan. Uh it is William Fuller the

1748
01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:53,200
Speaker 1: fifth flex full PPR or keep calm and carry on Johnson.

1749
01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:56,680
Speaker 1: We told you we don't like carry on Johnson. We're

1750
01:32:56,680 --> 01:32:59,040
Speaker 1: nervous about Carrie on Johnson, both in this matchup and

1751
01:32:59,240 --> 01:33:01,400
Speaker 1: for playing time purposes. We don't know what his role is.

1752
01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:02,880
Speaker 1: We don't know that he's even gonna be the starter.

1753
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:07,960
Speaker 1: We will take. We will take will Fuller, William Fuller, Jason,

1754
01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:13,040
Speaker 1: you are next? Uh PPR league Carson versus Peterson? Which

1755
01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:17,040
Speaker 1: one like either of this week? I think Peterson's got

1756
01:33:17,080 --> 01:33:18,880
Speaker 1: a better chance of a touchdown and probably a better

1757
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:25,120
Speaker 1: chance at more volume. Alright, Mark, you're on the fan. Yes,

1758
01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:34,760
Speaker 1: Marquis good one or Demarrius Thomas Demarrius It is really close. Brent,

1759
01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:39,880
Speaker 1: you're on the Fantally is it worth spashing once on

1760
01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:45,439
Speaker 1: the bench depends on options. It sounds like a yes.

1761
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:48,639
Speaker 1: It's very tough question. That is a three tough question. Yes,

1762
01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:52,639
Speaker 1: I think that is the case. John You're next? Yeah, Hey,

1763
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:55,759
Speaker 1: do I do Russell Wilson, keep Luck on the bench

1764
01:33:56,000 --> 01:34:00,200
Speaker 1: or pick up Andy Dolt? Oh wow, I'd probably just

1765
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:03,080
Speaker 1: it's not really one for one, but I would do Wilson,

1766
01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:13,599
Speaker 1: Joe Hi, Joe Goodwin or Crowder ppr uh, Marquis Goodwin

1767
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:20,280
Speaker 1: or Jamison Crowder. Uh it's it's Goodwin. I don't feel

1768
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:23,559
Speaker 1: great about it, but it's Goodwin. I don't feel great

1769
01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:28,720
Speaker 1: win about it? All right? Uh, first shows up, it's over.

1770
01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:31,720
Speaker 1: And we got to a bunch of lightning roads. That

1771
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:36,719
Speaker 1: was a lot of lightning. I got let's see lightning

1772
01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:40,920
Speaker 1: round questions pretty impressing, and we did fifteen matchups. That's

1773
01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:44,360
Speaker 1: what we're all stars. That is pretty amazing. I'm I'm
