Speaker 1: plenty of times. I know that practice, uh practice hasn't

14
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: worked out, but it does make perfect. It doesn't make

15
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,279
Speaker 1: very romantic, and in time it'll all it'll all come together.

Speaker 1: We do have a Saturday only slate, so it would

26
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: be players, it'd be players, just in the it's all Bears, Lions, Chargers, Chiefs.

27
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: That's it. That's it, that's it. I think it's a

28
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: it's a fun little slate today. It isn't it's not

29
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: a bad slate. We'll break those games down along with

30
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: all the other games between now. On the top of

31
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: the hour, we'll have the five hot questions and take

32
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: a chance on me and of course Lightning round. We

33
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: already have full phone lines. We'll try to get to

34
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: your calls as much as we can. Just not that

35
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: we've got a heavy load of games to get to

36
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: know by weeks. And that begins with the Jets taking

37
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: on the Saints. Matt and this is a Saints home game,

38
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: and I think there are a lot of Drew Breese

39
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: owners that are a little bit nervous, but let's start

40
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: on the Saints side of the ball. I don't like

41
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: anybody in this game. Do you mean the Jets side

42
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: of them? I met the Jets, Yeah, the Jet side

43
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: of the ball. I don't like anybody. I do like

44
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: one person. Who do you like? Robbie Anderson? All right,

45
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a b um Petty, Bryce Petty, who's

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: starting a quarterback this week, Well, he was pretty focused

47
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: on Robbie Anderson a lot this preseason. Last year, Bryce Petty.

48
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: Pitt played in four games where he had a high

49
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: volume of passes in those games, and this last year.

50
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: Last year, yes, Anderson topped sixty yards and all four

51
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: of those games and he scored in two of them.

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: So he's kind of Bryce Petty's guy. He's gonna lock

53
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: into Robbie Anderson. I think he's gonna throw them the

54
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: ball a lot. Everybody else is on the bench, though,

55
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: Petty curse Austin Sepharian Jenkins, Matt Forte in the running

56
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: game to uh. Forte didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday with

57
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: a knee injury that leaves Balal Powell and Elijah McGuire

58
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: if he doesn't go, and it was a true time

59
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: split when fourte missed Week ten, McGuire actually outsnapped Powell

60
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: fifty two and out touched him twelve to eleven. That's

61
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: almost so we don't want we don't want any part

62
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: of that in a not good time share, Um, let's

63
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: go to the other side, mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara.

64
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: Kamara cleared the concussion protocol. I gave both B grades

65
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: this week. If Camara didn't torpedo your season last week,

66
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: kudos to you for having a baby. Yes. The Jets, however,

67
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: are facing an average of twenty eight and a half

68
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: rushing attempts per game. That's eighth most in the NFL.

69
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: But they've only allowed one running back to top ninety

70
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: rushing yards all year. That was Lashawn McCoy back in

71
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: Week one. Although pass catching backs have had their way

72
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: with the Jets. Leonard four Nett had four for fifty

73
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: nine and a touch through the air. Duke Johnson had

74
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: three for sixty three and a touchdown. So I like

75
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: Camara little bit more than Ingram. Uh. Still, the Saints

76
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: are facing Bryce Petty this week too, and so they

77
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: should probably play ball control play. We need some Destiny's

78
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: child for the Camara survivors out there. Yeah, he's watching alright,

79
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: Garry On Matt Drew Brees. I'm giving an a grade

80
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: two though, why you ask? I don't know. Maybe, yeah, Camara,

81
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: after everything you just said, you give camera B but

82
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: now you're pass camera the ball, Okay. Tom Brady, Matt Ryan,

83
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, Tyrod Taylor, j Cutler and Matt Moore have

84
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: each thrown for multiple touchdown passes against the Jets in

85
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: the last eight games. And you heard me mentioned Jay

86
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: Cutler and Matt Moore. That was the same game where

87
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: they each threw two touchdown passes. Breeze has had two

88
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: or nine yards or multiple scores and ten A third

89
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: team games this season. He's still Soliday. Michael Thomas a Holiday.

90
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: In their last five games, six different wide receivers have

91
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: topped eight yards or scored against the Jets. And lastly,

92
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: Ted Gin is a see this has a long lead

93
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: up to it. It's worth it is. Oh yeah, Ted

94
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: Gins to see. The Jets have allowed forty eight completions

95
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: this year of twenty plus yards. That's fourth most in

96
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: the league. That's Ted Gins game since the Week five

97
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: by again only trails Thomas and Kamara and targets on

98
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: the Saints. I'll give him a scene. I got again feeling.

99
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: I don't I can't rationalize it. I tried to when

100
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: I ranked him. I'm like, I'm gonna try to find

101
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: find some way to put it into data. You got

102
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: a gunch, I got a gunch again again hunch, A

103
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: gut feeling and a hunch at the same time. Uh,

104
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: that was your That was the end of your matchup,

105
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: right there. They ended on a gunch. Chargers and Chiefs

106
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: are the late game today. That game starts at seven thirty.

107
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: Can hear it down? The fan? Chargers offense red hot

108
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: taking on the Chiefs. Chiefs at home they have been

109
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: a much better defense. What do you think? What do

110
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: you think of in this matchup? I believe that's your matchup.

111
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: What do you think in this match I think good?

112
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: Heavens see normally right. We have a long storied tradition

113
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: of me going third. Whoever did the matchups? Did not

114
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: you know ever put these in order? It's always I'm

115
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: always third guy in always and it's because I do

116
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: a lot of the talking at the beginning of the

117
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: show to set it up. So I want to give

118
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: you guys an opportunity to talk and then you know,

119
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: get your voices out there. You're a man of the people.

120
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: Well that's why we do it. That. Whackers at Panthers

121
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: right now. If you want me to, I'm prepared for that.

122
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: You know, let's do it. Packers taking on the Panthers.

123
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: This is a this is there. The storyline here writes itself.

124
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: Its Aaron Rodgers. Almost everybody I've talked to that's got

125
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is starting him this week. Let's hear how

126
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: you break it down. Yeah, I'm giving Rogers an a

127
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: a for a a Ron because he was widely available

128
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago and we said, Adam, Um, there

129
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: are a lot of interesting start to set questions out there,

130
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: but um, there's only a couple of quarterbacks I would

131
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: start over him. I think he's in line for a

132
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: good start. I mean the last month, Jay Cutler, Josh

133
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: McCown in case m throw them for multip touchdowns against

134
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: the Panthers. So why not Aaron Rodgers, who is supposedly healthy.

135
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: So I'm rolling them out there only unless I'm a

136
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: River's owner or maybe Roethlisberger. We can talk more about

137
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: that later. Um over to his receivers. Davante Adams just

138
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna give him a b here. Might be a bad

139
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: thing that Rodgers is returning because he sure clicked with

140
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: Brett Hunley, but doesn't really matter for Adams. He's been

141
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: money all year and number one receivers have been money

142
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: against Carolina the last one, Julio Jones topped a hundred yards,

143
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson had one forty six and two. Mike Thomas

144
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: had seven yards in a touchdown. Last week, even Stefan

145
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: Digs caught six passes for the first time since Week three.

146
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: Uh I, kid, Stefan, you're a true baller. You're the man.

147
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: Uh Over to Jordy Nelson. He's up to be level,

148
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: not benchable anymore in my mind. Five games with Rodgers

149
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: this year, Jory's averaging five catches, fifty eight yards and

150
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: one point two touchdowns. In the seven games without he

151
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: was averaging three catches, twenty two yards and zero touchdowns.

152
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: But with Rogers back, you know, Jeorry has been chirping

153
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: in his year. He's a squeaky wheel. As a big

154
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: game for Jordy here, not so much for Randall Coyle

155
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: though he's on the bench like Jordy. Uh Cobbs numbers

156
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: are better with Rogers, but cob has not top sixty

157
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: yards since Week one, so I cannot trust him in

158
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: the semifinals. So he's on the bench. But Jamal Williams

159
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: is gonna give him a B for bell Cow he's

160
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: getting that kind of usage. It's a tough matchup on

161
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: the ground. Carolina ranks fourth against the run, but opposing

162
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: running backs have had recent success through the air. The

163
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: Panthers allowed nineteen catches to running backs over their last

164
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: two games. Jamal caught the ball seven times last week,

165
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: unfortunately not nine times. Wait where where's that button? Seven times?

166
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: I don't have times nine time. But with nineteen catches

167
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: allowed over the last two weeks to running backs, maybe

168
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: nine times for Jamal Williams this week. But a three

169
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: down back looking really good Over to the Panthers side,

170
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: I will give Cam Newton in a as well. Over

171
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: the last five weeks, Green Bay has allowed the fourth

172
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: most passing yards and the most passing touchdowns. So you

173
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: gotta roll Cam out there. But I got Cam one

174
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: spot higher than Aaron, do you. I was about to ask,

175
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: would you play camera a Rod if you own camp?

176
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: I got I played Camp I might lean a rod,

177
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: but that's that's It's a tough call. I don't know

178
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: how many see I don't think. I don't think Aaron's

179
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: gonna let himself hopefully run that much, right, And Newton's

180
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: averaging sixty one rushing yards a game since uh since

181
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: Week four, So I think I think that's the deciding

182
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: factor for me. Well, that and the Packers secondaries awful. Yeah,

183
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: it's a good problem to have, let's put it that way. Probably, Uh,

184
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: Devin Fung just gonna give him an even though he's

185
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: on the injury report with the shoulder injury, shouldn't be

186
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: a big deal. He has eighty plus yards and or

187
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: at least one touchdown in five straight games. Great matchup

188
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: for him against injury riddled Packers secondary, so he's an

189
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: easy start. Um. I'm not touching any of the other

190
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: wide receivers for the Panthers though, and I don't even

191
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: really want to go with Greg Olsen has just one

192
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: catch since returning in Week twelve. Was limping all over

193
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: the place last week. It should look like a season

194
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: was over again, did it not? If you were watching

195
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: that game, even he came baking, I was in shocked.

196
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: But uh, I'm putting him on the bench. Greenby has

197
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: allowed just three tighten touchdowns the tight ends. Uh no,

198
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: they have allowed three touchdowns the tight ends in the

199
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: last three games before that, they asked rendered zero touchdowns

200
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: to the position. So in an opposing Titan hasn't topped

201
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: forty yards since weeks six against the Packers. So I

202
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: got Alton on the bench. That foot worries me too much.

203
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey not on the bench giving him like him

204
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: this week? Oh yeah, leads all running backs and receptions

205
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: and his second and receiving yards. Green Bay has allowed

206
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: the most receptions and receiving yards and running backs over

207
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: the last five weeks. How can Christian McCaffrey not get

208
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: an a in that sense? Just a perfect matchup for him,

209
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: it is, But because Jonathan Stewarts can score three touches,

210
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: dang it, No he's not. But I gotta see for

211
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart. In the last four weeks, he has two

212
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: one yard games and has scored five touchdowns. Who did

213
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: guests said he would be powering teams to the playoffs.

214
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: But Jonathan Stewart is right now, He's been great pretty much.

215
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: Green Bay's actually decent against the run. Ranks seventh by

216
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: Football Outsiders d v o A. So I just gotta

217
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: see on Stewart, but he is storable. That was a

218
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: That's a tricky matchup. I would give Georgia. See. I

219
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: just want to I want to. I just want to

220
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: have a little more. I just feel like I want

221
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: to get one. You want to wait and see. I

222
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: want to wait and see. I just want to have

223
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: a little more. End the more data understand, and I

224
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: think there's a good chance you're gonna be right. Be

225
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: fascinating to see. If Aaron Rodgers has a good game

226
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,479
Speaker 1: as expected, the Vikings defense has a good game as expected,

227
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: then what do you do with Aaron? Next week? That'll

228
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: be That'll be our last show of the year, Fantasy

229
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. We'll see if we can get that one right.

230
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: Final matchup of this segment is the Chargers taking on

231
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Every reason to believe that I've got that matchup. Yes,

232
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: that's happening today. That's happening today, and it's happening at

233
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: seven thirty tonight on the fan. Chief secondary looks improved

234
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: on paper, but look at the quarterbacks they faced. Josh

235
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: McCown Tyrod Taylor, Eli Manning, Dak Prescott, Trevor Simeon, and

236
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: then the inexplicable dud that we got from Derek Carr

237
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: last week. And here comes Philip Rivers, the hottest passer

238
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: in the league. Three straight three hundred yard games, and

239
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: over those three games he's averaging almost three fifty yards

240
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: per game. He rarely posts massive games against the chief

241
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: Cell going back through his game logs here against Kansas City,

242
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: but I still like him here even with three turn

243
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: to Marcus Peters because the offense is clicking so well.

244
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely keeping Rivers in. And two of the three

245
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: starting cornerbacks for the Chiefs are straight up brutal. One

246
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: of them is in the slot where they'll have to

247
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: guard Keenan Allen, also in a grade here, probably the

248
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: hottest quarterback coming into this into this matchup. He had

249
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: a mundane outing against Kansas City in the earlier meeting

250
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: back in Week three, but man, it's the last month

251
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: of games. Here's his average game for Keenan Allen over

252
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: the last month, ten catches, one hundred thirty seven yards

253
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: and a touchdown per game. Chiefs don't look like they're

254
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: gonna be able to slow him down much. They've allowed

255
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: the third most receiving yards the second most receiving touchdowns

256
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: to wide receivers. Staying with the wide receivers, one of

257
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: my favorite sneaky plays in the week, and especially for

258
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: daily Fantasy dirt cheap Tyrelle Williams. I know, I know,

259
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson is going to be all over this. William

260
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: Williams is a big play threat, averaging eighteen yards per catch,

261
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: and he goes up against the Kansas City defense that

262
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 1: allows the most yards per catch two receivers. Chiefs did

263
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: hold Williams the two catches in Week three, but they've

264
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: been burned by plenty of other wide receivers since then,

265
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: and they ranked second and touchdowns allowed to the position.

266
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: So Tyrone Williams C grade here. Hunter Henry gets a

267
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: C grade. Five or more targets in four straight games,

268
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: fifty or more yards in three straight games, so he

269
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: comes in hot touchdowns in two of the last three.

270
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: But Kansas City has been great against tight ends. They've

271
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: surrendered a league best two tight end touchdowns this year.

272
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: Just to see grade for Hunter Henry and turning our

273
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: attention to the running game, Melvin Gordon Chiefs have given

274
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: up a rushing score in seven of their last eight games,

275
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: though only levy On Bell has reached triple digits against them.

276
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: Um Gordon hasn't rushed for one hundred yards in a month,

277
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: so I don't think we necessarily get a lot of

278
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: yarded here, but he should be able to find the

279
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: end zone. Let's go to the chief side where there's

280
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: a little less to talk about, beginning with the running

281
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: game there and Kareem Hunt with a B grade after

282
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: he got back on track last week, he now gets

283
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: to face the Chiefs defense that he lit up for

284
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: one eight three yards last time these teams met, and

285
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: charges don't been better lately, nor unders top sixty rushing

286
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: yards or even fifty two combo yards in the last

287
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: three games. I'd like to think that Andy Reid can

288
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: connect the dots to the big performance he got from

289
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt last week and their first win in a month.

290
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: So you might want to put that together. Andy, that's

291
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: a lot of dots. It's a lot of dots, or two,

292
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: let's connect the dots. That might be complicated for Andy Reid,

293
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: B grade for Kareem Hunt. Let's go to the passing game.

294
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: Alex Smith gets a see he's one of just three

295
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who has thrown multiple touchdown passes against the Chargers

296
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: this season. That was in the Week three game. No

297
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: quarterback has managed to do that multiple touchdowns in two

298
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: months against the Chargers. That secondary is great getting after

299
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback and constantly. Oddly, Smith hasn't thrown multiple touchdowns

300
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: in any home game this year. He's been all zeros

301
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: and ones. Nor's the top three hundred yards and arrowhead

302
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: all year long, and the only quarterback that's topped even

303
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: two seventy five yards against the Chargers this year. Tom Brady.

304
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: Pretty sure Alex Smith is not Tom Brady. So CE

305
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: grade on Alex Smith. Travis Kelsey gets a B grade. Obviously,

306
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: normally an integral part of the Chief's offense. He saw

307
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: just one target when these teams met back in Week three,

308
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: and just one target the prior game at the end

309
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: of last year, which is weird, But he's normally such

310
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: a big part of the offense. I gotta believe they're

311
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: going to go back to him here. Chargers have allowed

312
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: some yards to tight ends, but they've only given up

313
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: three touchdowns to the position all year. This makes me

314
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: worried that this is a Travis Kelsey bomb. Right here,

315
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: it could be a Travis Kelsey. Kelsey has zero career

316
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns against the Chargers. None, So that's I've still gotta

317
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: be grade on because he's Travis Kelsey and they ought

318
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: to go to him a lot more. But every historic

319
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: trend here suggests that's Trell Kelsey is sitting on a

320
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: tough game. Let's go to Tyree Hill. Final guy will

321
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: talk about in this matchup. He went for seventy seven

322
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown in the earlier matchup. But that's

323
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: about as much as any receiver has done against this

324
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: team all year. Los Angeles has allowed the third fewest

325
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: receiving yards. And what's more, only one receiver in the

326
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: last two months has scored a touchdown against the Chargers.

327
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: Only one receiver in the last two months has scored

328
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: a touchdown against the Chargers. That's nuts. Tough matchups and

329
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: a C grade. I thought you're gonna just keep going,

330
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: just keep repeating that you are just a broken record

331
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: there or something. I might have repeated it nine times.

332
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: You know it could have happened. We'll take a break

333
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: when we come back, take a chance on me nine

334
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: nine players not normally you're starting one. Well done charge,

335
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: many of whom are available on the waiver wire. Will

336
00:16:46,000 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: tell you who they are when we come back. It's

337
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fans Semi Finals edition. You

338
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: need this. You win here, you're in. You're in the ship.

339
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: And that doesn't mean you don't need help. There might

340
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: be guys you need to pick up. We understand that

341
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: can happen. Let's begin with the quarterback position and Matt Harrison.

342
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: You know, I call this guy Blake bortlecock now because yeah,

343
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: two weeks ago I had as might take a chance

344
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: on meat quarterback. What did he do that week? Three

345
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: nine yards and two touchdown he ran into was that there?

346
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: Week he ran two weeks? Oh? That was I was.

347
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: I was bragging about his running prowess during that take

348
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: all right, that was a week before he followed it

349
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: up with two six, eight and two last week against

350
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: that vaunt at Sea howx defense. So wow. In the

351
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: last seven games, four quarterbacks have topped three d yards

352
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: against the Texans. Of the remaining three quarterbacks, Blaine Gabbert

353
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: had three touchdown passes and Marcus Mariota had one. On

354
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: the ground d and one through the air, and with

355
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: injuries to Leo Fournett, it might be a pass happy

356
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: Jacksonville this week. I like Blake Bortles a lot. I

357
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: do too. I think they're trying to get him ready

358
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: for the playoffs and and asking him to do more

359
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: so that if he if he needs to go win

360
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: a game with his arm in the playoffs, he can

361
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: do it. Bryan your quarterback. Oh, I got Joe Flacco

362
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: at Cleveland. Let's not forget. Way to sell it? Wait? Wait,

363
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: are you Scottish a little bit there? That maybe I've

364
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: got Joe flat Cleveland. Let's not forget. He is elite

365
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: and has thrown for at least two touchdowns and four

366
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: straight games against the Browns, who have allowed the most

367
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns this season and ten of thirteen quarterbacks have

368
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: scored multiple times. Flacco has logged two hundred and sixty

369
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: nine yards and two touchdowns in two straight games. Exact exactly, Fowl.

370
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: That's his four of a third in a row. And

371
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens they're sneaky cheap stack on fanball. Will talk

372
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: a little more about that later. Jimmy Garoppolo taken me

373
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: until Week fifteen. Able to put him into take a

374
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: chance on me? Uh, you know I feel about Garoppolo.

375
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: After two solid games, he now faces off against the

376
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 1: worst defense he's seen as a member of the forty niners.

377
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: It's the Titans, a bottom ten on the bottom five

378
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: pass events for most of this year. Until recent games,

379
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: they've been a little better against Blaine Gabber, Tom Savage

380
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: and Jacoby Percent and even then Savage for three sixty

381
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: five yards. Compety quarterbacking has abused the Titans all year.

382
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is already competent. He hasn't had that blow up

383
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: fantasy box score filling game yet. It's coming this week.

384
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: That was impressive that you took off your shirts while

385
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: doing man pants. Yeah, let's go to the running back position, Matt,

386
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: I've got Mike Davis and Mike Dean needs some respect.

387
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: Despite missing much of the second half last week with

388
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: a rib injury, Davis still had sixteen touches and he's

389
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: ready to go again this week. He's facing a Rams

390
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: defense that allowed seventy eight yards to the timeshare back

391
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: Ji last week. Yeah, ninety seven yards to Kerwin Williams

392
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: the week before, a hundred and eighty eight total yards

393
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 1: and two scores to Alvin Kamara the week before that,

394
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: and ninety five yards and two touchdowns Latavias the week

395
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: before that. Like Davis, all right, let's go to our

396
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: next running back. I'm playing to the PPR crowd and

397
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: going with Duke Johnson hosting the Ravens game we just

398
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: talked about. Over the last four weeks, Baltimore has allowed

399
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: these six most catches and have yielded the most red

400
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: zone targets two running backs. UH. Duke has seen twenty

401
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: cent Cleveland's red zone targets during that same span as

402
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: a very healthy amount. I just like his chances as

403
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: a receiver a lot in this one. And for what

404
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: it's worth, Duke has three red zone carries over the

405
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: last two games, while Isaiah Crowel has zero and UH.

406
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: Baltimore has allowed seven rushing touchdowns in the last seven games.

407
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: So Duke kebb sneaky. Nice day. If Buccaneers head coach

408
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: Dirk Cutter wants to keep his job, he has to

409
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: put his best players on the field. I I'm gonna

410
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: go so far as to say I think Doug Martin

411
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: is going to be a surprise deactivation on Sunday. Peyton

412
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: Barber is going to get the start, and even if

413
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't deactivate Martin, I think Peyton Barber is gonna

414
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: get the start. They benched Martin at halfway through last

415
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: week's game. They Barbara's vetteran every face of the game.

416
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: Now he goes up against Atlanta to solid run defense.

417
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: But Barber scored twice on these Falcons just three weeks ago.

418
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber, let's go to the wide receiver position, Matt,

419
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: I actually have a tight end. And maybe you lost

420
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph for this week or you're afraid of the

421
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey zero, but you're not gonna play this guy

422
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: over Travis Kelsey. Still. It's Adam Shaheen of the Chicago Bears.

423
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: Don't sleep on him. He was the second round pick

424
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: this season. He's got some good chemistry with Mitch Robinski.

425
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: In the last four games, the Lions have also yielded

426
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: five touchdowns to the tight end position. That streak started

427
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: with Adam Shaheen, who put up four catches for forty

428
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: one yards in a touch in the Week eleven meeting

429
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: with Detroit last week. Get a similar spot against another

430
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: defense that's uh, you know, pretty good Shaheen put up

431
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: four catches for forty four yards in a touchdown against

432
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Alright, so I think he's gonna get about

433
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: forty some yards in a touchdown this week. Here we go,

434
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: all right, to make sure he plays. I heard he's

435
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: questioned with the chest injury, but they said he's gonna play.

436
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: All right, good, I trust you he's going to play.

437
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: I too have a tight end, and I got Ben

438
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: Watson at Cleveland. I'm paranoum with Joe Flacco. Cleveland ranked

439
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: dead last in defending tight ends by Football Outsiders, allowing

440
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: sixty four yards per game, and they surrendered these second

441
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: most touchdowns. Watson wamboozled the Browns eight catches and ninety

442
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: one yard first meeting was that whamboozled. Cleveland has yielded

443
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: the third most targets at tight ends per game, that's

444
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: eight and a half. And when Ben Watson has seen

445
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: at least five targets this year, that's happened six times.

446
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: He's avaging more than five and a half catches and

447
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: forty yards. And he also had six catches for a

448
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: hundred and seven yards and two touchdowns against the Browns

449
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven. You guess what team that

450
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: was with the Patriots. Patriots two thousands seven might have

451
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: been the year that he had that razing catch the

452
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: guy from behind hypot noose run hundred yards uh and

453
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: it was a Brady throws and an end zone interception

454
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: on the right hand the right hand sideline. Opposing players

455
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: running down the right hand sideline. Watson Ben Watson tight

456
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: end his route sent him to the left side of

457
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: the end zone. He ran. He ran down some cornerback

458
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: from the opposite side of the far end zone and

459
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: tackle he does. Apparently speaking four three speeds, that's my guy. D. D. Westbrook,

460
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: Do you want to use as might take a chance

461
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: of me wide receiver speed? Receivers are destroying the Texans.

462
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: Listen to these four four forty names. I'm gonna give

463
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: you Mark's Goodwin, Paul Richardson, Tyler Lockett, Brandon Cooks, t

464
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: Y Hilton. All four four guys against Houston average game

465
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: one one of eight yards and a touchdown. Here comes D. D.

466
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: Westbrook faster than any of them. He's a four three

467
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: four guy. Houston secondaries allowed the seventh most yards and

468
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: the seventh most touchdowns to receivers we'll take a break.

469
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: When we come back, got a bunch of more matchups

470
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: to get through, including Texans taking on the Jaguars. Will

471
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: tell you if there are any Texans left to start,

472
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: including Lamar Miller with a third string quarterback at the

473
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: helm and what you can do about DeAndre Hopkins as well,

474
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: another thorny issue. When we come back. This is Fantasy

475
00:24:31,480 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: Football Weekly presented by Devans on the Man. Welcome back

476
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: to the show Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm the fan. Let's

477
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: power through some matchups, beginning with Texans versus the Jaguars.

478
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: It's a third string quarterback for the Texans and a

479
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: gimpy DeAndre Hopkins. Matt, what should owners do? Uh, They're

480
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: still gonna start DeAndre Hopkins. I'm giving him a B grade.

481
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: Still he's been basically matchup proof and quarterback proof this season. Uh,

482
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't last season. He was not quarterback proof last season.

483
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: We've seen that. We're talking about this season, though, I

484
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: understand scored or scored or hit seventy three yards in

485
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: every game this season, seven catches for fifty five yards

486
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: in a touchdown in the first meeting with Jacksonville. He's

487
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: one of the only guys who scored against the Jaguars

488
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: at least for the first half of the season. Uh,

489
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: he gets the b even though he's a little nicked up.

490
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: The passing game with t J. Yates is all on

491
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 1: the bench the rest of him in three career combined games.

492
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: By the way, Tom Savage and t J. Yates have

493
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: never thrown a touchdown pass against the Jaguars. Impressively, both

494
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: Savage and Yates have had box scores of under one

495
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: passing yards in two of those games. And yet you're

496
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: still telling me, I gotta start DeAndre Hopkins. Yeah, he's

497
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: gonna get all hundred of the yards that t J.

498
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: Yates throws. Lamar Miller, I'm giving a c. The Jaguars

499
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: have only allowed three point five yards per carrying two

500
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: total touchdowns running backs over the last six games. Still,

501
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: Miller's had at least eighteen touches in each of his

502
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: last four games and scored twice in that span. So

503
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: he's a volume play. He's a young Frank Gore. Let's

504
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: flip over to the Jaguar side. Leonard four Nett. He's

505
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: questionable the quad injury and he did not practice Friday.

506
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: This makes this really dicey a true game time decision. Yeah.

507
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: In In the two weeks where four NET did not

508
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: play weeks seven and nine, it was snap rates of

509
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: fifty tent for Chris Ivory and for t. J. Yeldon.

510
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: Touches were forty for Ivory, three free Yelden, red zone

511
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: Carri's twelve for Ivory two free Yeldon and they still

512
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: ran fifth four percent of the time when four NET

513
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: was out. So there are a lot of people listening

514
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: right now. If four net is inactive, Chris Ivory is

515
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: going to be roughly my running back fifteen. I'll be

516
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: moving him on Sunday in my rankings at Fanball. Yeah,

517
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: and running back fifteen means he's probably a starter for

518
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: your team, So seriously, go get him if available. Grab

519
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory if he's available. If four nets in, he

520
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: gets a B grade. Um Houston has allowed four running

521
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: back touchdowns in the last three weeks and five different

522
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: backs of top six d yards in that span. But

523
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: if four NET out, Ivory gets the B grade and

524
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: yelled and even gets a sea um Blake Blake Bortlecock

525
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: was might take a chance on me. Quarterback D D.

526
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: Westbrook was Charches take a chance of me wide receiver.

527
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: That leaves Marquise Lee and Keelan Cole, who I'm giving

528
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: both C grades to. Church mentioned the speed receiver's best

529
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: in the Texans, but many outside receivers have done the

530
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: same case in point Robert Woods is a good example.

531
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: He had eight catches for a hundred and seventy yards

532
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns just a few weeks agoing against the Texans.

533
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: That brings Marquise Lee into the conversation. And Cole, who

534
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: plays the slot, has scored in each of his last

535
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: two weeks, but he hasn't topped three targets in either game.

536
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: So I hope he gets six targets this game because

537
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: that means he'll score twice. So yeah, he gets the

538
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: just the C grade. The end Cardinals take on the

539
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: red Skins, Larry Fitzgerald gets the A grade that he

540
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: normally gets here. Washington has been the worst teams against

541
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: slot receivers this season, giving up over one hundred yards

542
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: to Keenan Allen, Adam Theeland, Doug Baldwin and Baldwin Theland,

543
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: and Nelson Agilar and even Jerry's right I'll all scored

544
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: from the slot against the red Skins. And here comes Fitzgerald.

545
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: Ten targets per game, so I still like him a lot.

546
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: Against Kendall Fuller, he gets an A grade playing Gabbert

547
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: will have to throw him the ball, just a C

548
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: grade for him. Washington's now allowed five multiple touchdown games

549
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: in their past six. Four of those quarterbacks top three

550
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: hundred yards. Gabbert spen competent, but he had a dug

551
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: last week when I thought he was gonna have a

552
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: good game. Um, it's it's a great matchup. Still, it's Gabert,

553
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: so I'm only giving him a see here, but the

554
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: matchup would suggest it's more like a B Staying with

555
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: the passing game, Ricky Seals Jones is the only other

556
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: Cardinal receiver you probably care about. Just three targets. Last

557
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: week you only caught one for twenty yards, which was

558
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: a letdown. But this week the matchup is awesome. Washington

559
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: has allowed the second most yards to tight ends, the

560
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: third most touchdowns to tight ends. They have also allowed

561
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: to tight end touchdown in five straight games, So Ricky

562
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: Seals Jones definitely on the radar this week. It's l James.

563
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: He's one of the high Fens. High Fens kerwin Williams

564
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: sneaky play this week. Yes, uh. He's had back to

565
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: back games of at least eighty five total yards and

566
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: he goes into a game against Washington defense that over

567
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: the last five weeks has allowed the second most rushing

568
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: yards in the league six rushing touchdowns over the last

569
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: five weeks. UM. The last two starting court running backs

570
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: that have faced Washington have had at least eight yards

571
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: and scored. So Kerwin Williams a nice sneaky play right now.

572
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna power me to an Empire League Champions of game?

573
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: Is up? I like that against me? Yeah? Next week,

574
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: you guys are fair Oh there in the semi uh,

575
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: let's go to the Washington side of this. I've got

576
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins with a B grade here. He hasn't produced

577
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: very well of late, um, and it's a it's a

578
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: match up A. It's the middle of the pack Cardinals defense.

579
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: So it doesn't feel like a great opportunity here there

580
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: they're just in the middle of completions and passing yards

581
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: and passing touchdowns allowed. You figure Patrick Peterson's gonna neutralize

582
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: Josh Dockson, who I've got on the bench. But Cousins

583
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: got a great matchup with the A graded Jamison Crowder

584
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: inside my top ten at the wide receiver position this week.

585
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: Get this my favorite stat of the week, Honey Badger.

586
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: The matchup with Honey Badger so favorable. Every team is

587
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: pouring receptions at him. Slot receivers have led their teams

588
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 1: in receptions against the Cardinals in six straight games. And

589
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: here comes the best receiver on Washington from the slot,

590
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: and it's Jamison Crowder, averaging nine targets per game nine times,

591
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: nine times. I love Jamison A grade. This week I

592
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: mentioned Dockson's on the bench, Vernon Davis is on the bench.

593
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: Can't take it anymore. He's He's blown so many great

594
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: opportunities I can't. I can't recommend him even in a

595
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: decent match up here. And then lastly, Soma J. P.

596
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: Ryan playing hurt um and even even though he's getting

597
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: a lot of touches, he's not doing anything with him

598
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. His offensive line has been

599
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: all banged up. He's gonna miss at least one started

600
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: this week. I believe left guard and I don't know.

601
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: Arizona's a solid run defense that ranked seventh and yards

602
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: allowed They're holding backs to just three point four yards

603
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: per carry. I've got a C grade on som j

604
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: p run. Next Dolphins taking on the Bills. This is uh,

605
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake red hot, Brian does it continue here? He's

606
00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: the fantasy the last two weeks, only Levi on l

607
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: seeing a higher percentage of his team's carries and Kenyan Drake,

608
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: who gets eight percent of carries during that span out

609
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: He's gone. I was gonna say, Tony, we need Fonzie Sounder,

610
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: and uh, this is this is a great spot for Drake.

611
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: Bills are allowing a hundred and sixty rushing yards and

612
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: nearly two touchdowns per game to the position over the

613
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: past six weeks. So yeah, I'm all about Kenyan Drake

614
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: this week, as you should be too. Uh. Not so

615
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: much for Jarvis Landry. Gonna give him a soft be here.

616
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: Has recorded at least five catches in every game this

617
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: year and has eight touchdowns over his last ten games,

618
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: and he draws a favorable matchup with Bill slot corner

619
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: Lennard Johnson, who's uh the weakest of the corners for

620
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo in recent week. Slot receivers Albert Wilson and Keenan

621
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: Allen have posted big games. Is this soft be like

622
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: a B minus? No, it's not, though it absolutely is not.

623
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: We don't do that. Here. Here's a here's a hard

624
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: B for bench for Javante Parker. Bench him all Day.

625
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: Hasn't scored since Week two, which was his only touchdown

626
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: of the season. Yardage totals for Parker in his last

627
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: four games forty Comma five, Comma five of Uh want

628
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: to make sure he had forty five yards because he

629
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: didn't get that right now. He's not that good. Uh

630
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: So he's on the bench. Julius Thomas is not that

631
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,719
Speaker 1: I got to see for him. The Bills are one

632
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: of four teams to will at least seventy catches and

633
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: seven hundred plost yards to opposing tight ends in this year,

634
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: and Thomas has been more active. So I like him

635
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: this week, but I do have Jay Cutler on the bench.

636
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: Despite having multiple touchdown passes in its last six full games,

637
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: only two of the last six opposing quarterbacks have top

638
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: two undred and fifty yards against Buffalo, and that was

639
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: just barely and just one of them through for two touchdowns.

640
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: In fact, only two quarterbacks have thrown for multiple touchdowns

641
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: against Buffalo all season. Who has more interceptions thirteen than

642
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed. How about so Cutler on the bench. That's

643
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: it for Miami over to Buffalo. Le's Seawan McCoy gets

644
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: an a as well. Miami is allowing a hundred forty

645
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: two combo yards per game over the last four weeks

646
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: and four total touchdowns. So easy start for Shady, Not

647
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: so easy for Calvin Benjamin he's on the bench. You

648
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: just can't trust him with that torn meniscus in his knee.

649
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: He went went down for a while last week to

650
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: scared the touchdown, got hurt on the play, which is

651
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: everything you need to know about Kelvin Benjamin Nutchell right there.

652
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: It was impressively scored on hoth But yeah, no, no, no, no,

653
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: Benjamin was uh and I we're not touching any the

654
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: other wide receivers were Buffalo here. I will play with

655
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: some Charles Clay down by the bay. What do you say?

656
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: The Dolphins have allowed the third most catches and touchdowns

657
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: two tight ends this year and Charles Clay is Tyrode's

658
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: uh security blanket, so he gets to see And speaking

659
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: of Tyrod just missed the cut as might take chance

660
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 1: on the quarterback, but I got him on the bench.

661
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm worried about the knee. Yeah, I'm a little bit

662
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: too any It would be a good matchup for a

663
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback, even though my Miami's only faced one food

664
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback and that was Cam Newton who had nine

665
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: rushing yards. But his backup is pretty mobile. Joe web

666
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there I thought talking about right. The other

667
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 1: one killed himself last week, died in head first. But yeah,

668
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: tyrode on the bench. I agree. Bears taking on the Lions.

669
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: That game is happening today that four o'clock you can

670
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 1: hear down the fan. We encourage you to set your

671
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: lineups now so here you don't. That doesn't sneak up

672
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: on you. Bears take on the Lions. We had a

673
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: fantastic game from Jordan Howard last week. Prior to that,

674
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 1: he had a great up totun against Francisco, did nothing

675
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, I mentioned him last week. So which

676
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: version of Jordan Howard are you gonna get? You get

677
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: the a version of Jordan Howard. Over the last five weeks,

678
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: only the Bills have allowed more touchdowns to running backs

679
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: than the seven the Lions have gave up in the

680
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: first meeting this season, Howard averaged eight point three yards

681
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: per carry on his way to a hundred and fifteen

682
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: yards in a score. He's an a even Tarik Cohen

683
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: gets to see. Cohen average just shy of five yards

684
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: per carry in the first meeting with Detroit and finally

685
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: got some touches last week with twelve carries for eight

686
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: yards and the win at Since he's been targeted fourteen

687
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: times in the last four games, which is a few

688
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: ticks north of his first five weeks under Turbisky, so

689
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: things are trending upward for Tarik Cohen. Speaking of Mitchell Trubisky,

690
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a C grade, almost like a bonus

691
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: take a chance on me quarterback. He's coming off his

692
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: best Fantasy game of his career to seventy one passing,

693
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: a passing touchdown in a rushing touchdown. The Lions defense

694
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: has allowed multiple touchdowns the quarterbacks and four of their

695
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: last five games. The only time they did not it

696
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: was against Mitch Rubinsky in Week ten. H Mitch had

697
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: one seven nine one. Sad trombone, Ski, that's what you mean.

698
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: That is what I mean. I love sad trombones. It's

699
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: so it's so much of a stretch. It really isn't

700
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: but it's so bad it's good. That's why I like it.

701
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 1: In the in the first meeting, Rubinsky did have fifty

702
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: three rushing yards in that game too. Dontrell Inman's on

703
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: the bench for some reason. In Men has become the outman,

704
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 1: especially last week where he did not receive one target.

705
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: He's still the best outside option, so he likely draws

706
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: Detroit's best corner Darius Slay this week. Kendall Wright, on

707
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: the other hand, came from out of nowhere and had

708
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: ten catches for a hundred and seven yards last week

709
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: from the slot. We'll talk more about that when we

710
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 1: get to the Vikings. I'm gonna give him a C grade.

711
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 1: He draws the better matchup against these in the slot,

712
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: against either Nevin Lawson or Tease Tabor, one of my

713
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: favorite names in football, and Adam Shaheen was might take

714
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: a chance of Hendry Diggs. I I don't want to

715
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: play him, No, no, no, in a in a playoff week. No.

716
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking about slot cornerback. Oh they moved

717
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: him to safety, they did, Yeah, all right, A mer

718
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: of Doulah on the other side, He's questionable with a

719
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: neck injury, but he's expected to play. If Abdullah does play,

720
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: the whole running back situation is on the bench now.

721
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 1: It's pretty murky theoretic and Tian Green or Shun Green

722
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: I've heard him called, won't get enough touches to be

723
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: fantasy worthy. The Bears have not allowed of rushing touchdown

724
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: in four straight games either, so they're all on the bench.

725
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's getting a B. In his last five games

726
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: against the Bears. It's been one of two Staffords. In

727
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: the three games that he was good Stafford, he hit

728
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: the yard mark three times, had multiple touchdown passes in

729
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: each of those, and the other two bad. Stafford had

730
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: two or less than one total score with four picks.

731
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: In his last eight games, he hasn't been held under

732
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: two h forty nine yards, though, and has had multiple

733
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: touchdown passes in five of those. I'm thinking it's good

734
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: Stafford this week. Marvin Jones is getting an A grade.

735
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: The Bears have allowed seventy five plus yards or a

736
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: touchdown to five of the last six wide receiver ones

737
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: they faced, and Marvin Jones is the wide receiver one,

738
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: including four catches for eighty five yards in a touch

739
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: to Jones just a couple of weeks ago. Jones has

740
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: topped eighty five yards and six of his last eight

741
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: and scored six times during that span. Golden Tates getting

742
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: a c as well, averaging nine targets over his last

743
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: three games. The Bears are better against slot receivers than

744
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,959
Speaker 1: outside wide receivers. But I'm nervous about I'm a little

745
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: nervous here. Tate hasn't topped fifty eight yards or scored

746
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: against Chicago and his last four tries. Kenny golladays on

747
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: the bench, and we're also benching the alliance tight ends.

748
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: One tight end on the Lions had ten catches for

749
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: ninety four yards last week, but we don't know his name.

750
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: And that's like searching for the Seven Cities of Gold,

751
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: trying to get a trying to get a Lions tight

752
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: end to do something right. The Bears have held every

753
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: tight end not named zach Ertz or Austin Hooper to

754
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: under fifty yards this season, and Hooper did all his

755
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: damage in that fluky week one play for like eight yards.

756
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's try to work in one calls. I

757
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: think Brandon has been on the longest hi Brandon. Hey,

758
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: guys are going good. Thank you? Um so guy kind

759
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: of like a little wide receiver can under be going

760
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: on this week trying to figure out who to play. Um,

761
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm in a half point PPR. I've kind of got

762
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: I've got Golden Tape, Cooper Cup and mohammeds Anu Um

763
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: kind of trying to decide who to start between the

764
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 1: three and maybe take Lamar Miller out of my flex

765
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: and play all those three. What do you guys think?

766
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: Is it so two of three? Uh? So new it

767
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: was WAMPI number fifteen, No doubter for sure. I like

768
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 1: Cup over taped as well. Okay, yeah, I've got taped

769
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: way down at thirty five, I think at the wide

770
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: receiver position. For the reasons that match just elucidated. I'm

771
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: a little worried about it about Robert Woods going back

772
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: with Cup just a little in the second second game

773
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: of a divisional mat chip. But uh alright, go ahead,

774
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: we'll talk about Cooper Cup in the later matchup. Okay,

775
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean, would you take take a Lamar Miller over

776
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: Golden Tape in that too? On a flex spot, PPR,

777
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: I'd rather have take I have no faith. I have

778
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: no faith in that entire Houston offense doing anything. Yeah,

779
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: with that third string in there, Yeah, t J Yates

780
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: at the helm, you've got DeAndre Hopkins hobbled. I hate,

781
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: I hate every part of that January has been great

782
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: against the run ever since the Darius trade. Everything here

783
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: tells me it's a down game for Miller. All right,

784
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: sounds good, Thank you, thank you, gauge. Hello, yes, start hi,

785
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: good morning, good morning. Oh yeah, I had got a

786
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: running back controversy here in a full point PPR. I

787
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: got Tart Cohenal Paul and Doug Martin pining for one spot. Well,

788
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: I think we're only giving one a starting grade out

789
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 1: of all those guys, and that's two Riek Cohen. Okay,

790
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Thank you. Go look for Duke Johnson. Yeah,

791
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: you can do You may be able to do better

792
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire, Peyton Barber, Chris Ivory gonna like

793
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: him lots lots better. We need to work in a break.

794
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: We're already we're a little long, and let's let's do

804
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: hockey season wild one four in a row. I believe

805
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: it's right. Yeah, just playing Connor McDavid the Edmonton Oilers

806
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 1: today one on the fan. Thank you for the Thank

807
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: you for the fans. Hot question number one. In two

808
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: thousand six, career bust runner Ron Dane went berserk for

809
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: the Texans during the fantasy playoffs and powered owners into championships.

810
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: Who is this year's Ron Dane? Matt for the record,

811
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody is. But the guy with the

812
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 1: best chance I believe is Kerwin. Williams uh Adrian Peterson

813
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: looks like he's done for the year with the neck injury.

814
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: David Johnson's not coming back. Kerwin had sixteen touches in

815
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: week thirteen, twenty one touches last week. Faces Washington this week.

816
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: Washington's allowed six running back touchdowns in the last five weeks,

817
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: and opposing running back groups are averaging a hundred and

818
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: thirty four rushing yards against the Redskins in that span.

819
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: And then Kerwin gets the Giants, who have allowed somaj

820
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: p Ryan, Marshawn Lynch and Rod Smith the top a

821
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty total yards in three of the last

822
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: four weeks. Lynch scored once, Smith scored twice. I think

823
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: Kerwin Williams has a shot to be that guy. Okay,

824
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: I was gonna go Kurwin, but I'm gonna cheat a

825
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: little bit and take a guy who already played this

826
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: week in that monster game. C. J Anderson. Yeah you

827
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: did it there a week the next week, jerk, This

828
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: isn't good info. Next week he's got the Redskins though. Yeah.

829
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: J Anderson is out there. He's a guy who is

830
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: startable in weeks. Yeah, if you can pick him up

831
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: and use the stats that he already accumulated. Yeah. The

832
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: flying that ointment is the playoffs started last week. He

833
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,720
Speaker 1: did nothing last week. Uh. The correct answer is Kenyan Drake.

834
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: His average game before the Fantasy playoffs was forty three

835
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: total yards and zero point two touchdowns, which basically made

836
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 1: him Danta Foreman. Now since the Fantasy playoffs last week

837
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: at ninety three yards last week, here he comes this week.

838
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,720
Speaker 1: He's my number three running back this week against Buffalo.

839
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: Love him this week. That's a Buffalo defense giving up

840
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: one d sixty rushing yards per game. I like your

841
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: Kurtwin Williams answer, and I will give you credit for

842
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: second place. Well, it's like a half point. It's a

843
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: tenth of a point. Hot question number two. Next year,

844
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown will be everybody's number one ranked wide receiver

845
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: unless Ben quits. But let's assume he won't quit. Um

846
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: who should be the number two wide receiver in a

847
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: half point PPR league? So let's just standard typical league.

848
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: Who should be the number two wide receiver? Brian DeAndre

849
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: Hopkins the end? I mean he look what he does

850
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: with garbage quarterbacking. He and Brown are head and shoulders

851
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: above the rest of the wide receivers in my opinion.

852
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna say nuke. Uh. Since charge asked

853
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: on Twitter the other day, make a case for me

854
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: not taking DeAndre Hopkins at one one, And that doesn't

855
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: mean I'm advocating I said, I said Antonio Brown is

856
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 1: the case against him, but I think it's Hopkins as well.

857
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: I agree with everything Brian said, it's DeAndre Hopkins. Devanny's

858
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: hot question numbers. Given all the problems at the tight

859
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: end position this year, next year, once you get you know,

860
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: and once you by the way, we should let me

861
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: preps this for this year, all the problems to be

862
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: If you don't have one of the top like five

863
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: tight ends, it's a disaster, right, So if you've got

864
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, if you've got Gronk and or Arts or Graham,

865
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: you're fine. Everybody else horrific season. So for next year,

866
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: should fantasy owners give greater priority to the tight end

867
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: position in next year's drafts? Fat? Uh? There's still a

868
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 1: lot of volatility at that position. Gronk has missed two games,

869
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: Earth's has been dinged up for a while and missed

870
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: last week. Kelsey is the only one who played all

871
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: year of those upper echelon guys, and he might have

872
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: a rookie under center next season. So I think I

873
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: can survive with mid tier guys like Kyle Rudolph, Evan, Ingraham, Hunter, Henry,

874
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,439
Speaker 1: who's going to be clear of Antonio Gates next year,

875
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: and I like the rookie crop of tight ends this

876
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: year with uh the aforementioned Evan Ingram, O J. Howard,

877
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: David Joku, Adams Shaheen. So unless the value is right,

878
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: I'll probably roll the dice at tight end and not

879
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: prioritize it. I agree with there than you said. But

880
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: Ingram is in that top five. Ingram is he's at

881
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: the bottom of the top five. Yeah, I like the rookies,

882
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: like the prospects next year. The one you didn't mention

883
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: is John new Smith on Tennessee who has a lot

884
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: of potential, and Delaney Walker is getting old. If Dwayne well,

885
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: if Walker retires, and he might then yeah he could. Yeah,

886
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: you're both wrong. I'll give you a real life parable

887
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: from my own experiences here. I traded away Gronk in

888
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: the Coveted Charts League in week ten, and so that

889
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: meant I had to I had to cobble together tight

890
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: ends well like most half of our listeners have had

891
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: to do. Here's what I've gotten since week ten. I

892
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: had started Cameron Braid for one catch for ten yards.

893
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 1: Then I started Cameron Braid for one catch in twelve yards.

894
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 1: Then I went all right, Adam Shaheen up and coming

895
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: rookie one catch for one yard. Then I decided, Okay,

896
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: he's not gonna Jane won't stink again. He had a

897
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: great match. I think zero catches, zero yards. Then last

898
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: week I went to Ricky Seals Jones one catch, twenty yards.

899
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 1: You're hitting all these guys the week after they do well. Yeah,

900
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: apparently I think that's problem, and maybe it's me. Maybe

901
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: it's me. I don't think it's necessarily just Ben Watson

902
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: charch and I end up losing half of those games.

903
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm lucky to be alive in the Charts League in

904
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: the semifinals. I've done it despite taking basically zero points

905
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: from my tight end position. I wouldn't wish this on anybody.

906
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: I think you should prioritize the tight end position. Get

907
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: somebody you feel comfortable with and know that you don't

908
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: you've locked down that positions. Hot question number four. It's

909
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: probably gonna stop me from winning the Charts League when

910
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 1: everything said, not getting any other tight end. Fast forward

911
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: to next year's draft. It's the middle of the first

912
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: round and you're on the clock. Should Fantasy owners select

913
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins with this pick and then wrap around and

914
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:58,760
Speaker 1: take to Shaun Watson in this middle of the second round. Brian, maybe,

915
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 1: if you're drafting in a dyning is the startup, but

916
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: even then you're doing the wrong thing. Always do an

917
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: auction in Dynasty's us. But no the second round for

918
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback. That's just way too late now early, way

919
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 1: too way, way way too early. Yeah, I like Brian said,

920
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm fine with taking Hopkins in the first round, but

921
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't take Watson the second. He'll be coming off

922
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: the a c L. Usually takes guys about half a

923
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: season to get fully recovered from the a c L,

924
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: and much of his value is predicated on the running ability.

925
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: Un Plus, you draft Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady in

926
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: the second round, you don't draft Deshaun Watson, and you

927
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: draft him in fourth or fifth round. Deshaun Watson has

928
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: the kind of talent that powers you to a championship,

929
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: a little like Alvin Camari is doing this year cam

930
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:39,720
Speaker 1: Newton did three years ago. Assuming that he's had because

931
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: he suffered the injury early enough that he's gonna hit

932
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: training camp running literally, Yes, I want that kind of

933
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: game changing ability. He's your QB one. Then next year,

934
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: he maybe he might be my QB one or my

935
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: QB two or so i'where in that ballpark? Yes, I

936
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: mean because look at the games he played, he was

937
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 1: QB one. I can't wait till these State Fair shows

938
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: and your tune change, which is distinctly possible Vanni's hot

939
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: question number five. Also, by the way, do the opposite baby,

940
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 1: do the opposite Van's hot question number five? Next year?

941
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,280
Speaker 1: Should fantasy owners draft Mike Evans in the first round,

942
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: the second round, the third round, or later than that?

943
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: Matt uh Fantasy owners are way too reactionary to last

944
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,959
Speaker 1: year's numbers, and I think his a DP will shake

945
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: out to round two. But I wouldn't mind reaching around

946
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: on him and getting him at the tail end of

947
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: round one. They'll have a new coach in Tampa Winston

948
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: will be healthy again. He's been dinged up with the

949
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: shoulder all year. I think Evans is a late first

950
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: round guy. I pretty much agree with you. I think

951
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: he'll be late second, early third, but I don't know

952
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 1: if i'd reach for the first. But it's been a

953
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: curse season for Tampa Bay, starting with that Week one

954
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: by they were forced into. But Evans still one of

955
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: seven wide receivers with at least nine targets from the

956
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: side of ten yard line. Those are elite opportunities, and

957
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: he's a freak of an athlete. So I'd take him

958
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: in the second all right. I love that both of

959
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: you are not buying into just what happened last Right now,

960
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: he's a wide receiver twenty in you know, roughly wide

961
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: receiver TENN scoring system. Last year's wide receiver five as

962
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: a rookie is wide receiver eleven in all probability. One

963
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 1: way or another, Mike Evans will be better next year.

964
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: He's heading towards a new contract. Jamis Winson won't be

965
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: playing injured all season long, might very well have a

966
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: better head coach than the one he's got now. Offensive

967
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: line should be better. I'm taking him in the second

968
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: round knowing that most people won't. I don't have to

969
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: take him at the end of the first round. I

970
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: have a problem I won't have a problem with the

971
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: next year. I don't have to take him at the

972
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 1: end of the second There are a lot of people

973
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 1: are just gonna write him off because what Matt said

974
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: is exactly right. Most fantasy owners just replay the last

975
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: year and that is a mistake. Big thanks to our

976
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: decade long sponsor, grain Bell Premium, the official beer Fantasy

00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: that line up now before the four o'clock Bears Lions game.

980
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Many thanks to our friends at the brewery Sean, Ryan,

Speaker 1: Lee Windinger, Ted and Jody Marty, the owners of the brewery.

982
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 1: And many thanks to Dave Wilson, our manager at Manny's

983
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: Steakhouse for our big winners banquet coming up in a

984
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Our Week fourteen winner joining us at

985
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: the winner's banquet at Manny's. Craig Bkeley. He said that

986
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: he's going to take me to the winner's banquet. I

987
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:33,240
Speaker 1: think he made a bay promise or maybe Brian Scott

988
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: Rich yea out there, Scott right, I'm banking on this man. Yeah, yeah,

989
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: Brian and I need to get there. We're hungry, are

990
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:44,439
Speaker 1: you hungry? Hungry hippos? Uh? Somebody on Twitter is saying,

991
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it's true or not, that

992
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: um that Adam Sheen has been ruled out for the game.

993
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:51,919
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if it's just saying

994
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: this is it's just random Twitter guy nice enough to

995
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: tweet me this morning. Take a chance on Yeah, so

996
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: you take a chance. You want to pivot, You take

997
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 1: a chance on me to tie Roll Williams. That was me.

998
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: I'll pivot O. Sorry, Kell, there we go, all right,

999
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 1: Kendall Right, double down on Ben Watson. Yeah, double Ben Watson.

1000
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: Eagles take on the Giants, and this is an opportunity

1001
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: for a couple of guys that that I really like

1002
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: in this one. In fact, for zach Ertz, it's all

1003
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: it's possessed bottom ten rankings against tight ends and receptions,

1004
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,240
Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns. In Week three, Arts put up eight

1005
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: receptions and a touchdown against the Giants. Obviously, Nick Foles

1006
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: and jects a lot of variables into the passing game here,

1007
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,919
Speaker 1: but I still like zach Ertz is an A graded guy.

1008
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: I also like I'll shand Jeffrey with an a Alshon

1009
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: averaging one touchdown per game over his last six games.

1010
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,240
Speaker 1: He's come alive here, and he will encounter Giants defense

1011
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 1: that ranks thirty one against the past. They'll mostly see

1012
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: pro football focuses seventies seventh ranked cornerback Ross Cockrell, who

1013
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,399
Speaker 1: gave up a fifty yard touchdown to Dez Bryant last week.

1014
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: All Sean Jeffrey, I don't know, you'll probably touch on it.

1015
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 1: But no land In Collins for the Giant. Yeah, right,

1016
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: land In Collins every tackle for the Giants, and pretty

1017
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: sure he has one of the team tackles easily, the

1018
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: best player left standing in that second Well, he's the

1019
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: best player all season long in that secondary. That's a disaster.

1020
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,280
Speaker 1: No Genorris Jenkins here. Nick Foles, you know, for everybody

1021
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: thinks Nick Foles is gonna torpedo this offense, you're gonna

1022
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: be surprised. And he's a B grade here, absolutely startable

1023
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,399
Speaker 1: in my mind for many for those reasons and more

1024
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,720
Speaker 1: already an above average backup quarterback who posted decent numbers

1025
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: in the two games that he started last year for

1026
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City, but has a much better offense around him now,

1027
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: and he knows this offense well, plenty of upside against

1028
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: this terrible Giant secondary ranking thirty one and passing yards

1029
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: allowed and dead last and passing touchdowns allowed. Nelson Agil

1030
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,760
Speaker 1: r C grade here. He works out of the slot

1031
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: that means he's gonna match up against the best remaining

1032
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: player in the Giant secondary Domini Rodgers Cromarty. If it

1033
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: were a better matchup, he might even have a higher

1034
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: grade here. But I'm gonna stick with a C for

1035
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: Nelson agilar I forever. Since the j GI trade, you know,

1036
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: I've been very cautious about starting him because of the

1037
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: time share. Not this week. I love a Giant. This week,

1038
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 1: I'm so close to giving him an A. But I'm

1039
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 1: giving him a b um only because I still also

1040
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: like Corey Clement and I still like Lea. Garrett Blunt,

1041
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: a Giants registered twelve Garrett Blunt. He's so bad. So

1042
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:29,360
Speaker 1: are your Giants. Giants are so bad. There's enough to

1043
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 1: go around here. Personal Your Giants suck. They do. If

1044
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 1: there's ever a time for a workhorse performance from j GI,

1045
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: it's this one. They can ease Nick Foles unto the

1046
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: starting job. Giants ranked thirty feet against the run. They're

1047
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 1: giving up one hundred thirty rushing yards per game. I

1048
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,280
Speaker 1: think a Giant who they've he had all those carries

1049
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: at the point of the trade for Miami, and then

1050
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 1: they've used him sparingly now so that he can be

1051
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: their workhorse going into the playoffs. I think a Giant

1052
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: is gonna ratchet up his touches. Love him this week

1053
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: in a in a pinch, you can start Clement, you

1054
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: can start Blunt. Remember last week? Remember last week? Do

1055
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 1: you remember might take a chance of me running back

1056
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 1: last week? No, I wasn't here. That was Rod Smith.

1057
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: What did I say about Rob Smith last week? I

1058
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 1: don't know. The Giants run defense is so bad that

1059
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: the backup runners are getting it done every week against them.

1060
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:26,720
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, Matt breed Up, Malcolm Brown, DeVante Booker, Corey Clement,

1061
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 1: and Rod Smith last week went off against these Giants.

1062
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: Last week seven carries twelve yards against the Rams and

1063
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: a Meadi matchup. So for Garrett Blunt, I'm like Garrett Blunt, Yeah,

1064
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: your giants are so bad. Like Garrett Blunt and Corey

1065
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:46,399
Speaker 1: Clement starters in this game. Let's go to the Giants side.

1066
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 1: We'll keep this brief. There's not a lot to like here.

1067
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 1: Eli Manning's on the bench. The Eagles have allowed to

1068
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 1: or fewer touchdown passes in ten of thirteen games, and

1069
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 1: although Manning pet posted his best game of the year

1070
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: on these Eagles. Their secondary has gotten tons better over

1071
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 1: the past couple of months, so I'm stick keeping Eli

1072
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: on the bench, and that means I gotta be nervous

1073
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: about his weapons as well. Sterling Shepherd's a hesitant C

1074
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: and that's it only really He scored in this matchup

1075
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: last time around, but that again a long time ago

1076
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: against a very different UH secondary for the Eagles, and

1077
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: the Giants then had Odell Beckham, they had Brandon Marcel,

1078
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: so it was a lot easier for Sterling Shepherd, and

1079
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 1: he draws elite coverage corner Patrick Robinson, who ranks number

1080
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 1: three by Pro Football Focus among all quarterbacks cornerbacks in

1081
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: the league. So Shepherd barely a see start here, Evan

1082
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: Ingram a B start. Eagles have loudly have the fourth

1083
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 1: ranked overall past defense. There one flaw has been against

1084
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: athletic tight ends guys like Jordan Reed and Travis Kelsey

1085
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: and Hunter Henry and Jimmy Graham of all scored or

1086
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: top to one hundred yards UH. This passing offense largely

1087
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: goes through Ingram, so I'm sticking with a B grade

1088
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: from him, but he's maybe even he's close to a

1089
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: C as well. Then the last gale mentioned for the Giants.

1090
00:56:56,239 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: Orleans Dark one. Eagles have the best run defense in

1091
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: the league. The Giants have the ranked run offense. He's

1092
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,919
Speaker 1: managed just nine total yards in the past three games,

1093
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 1: and he's giving up carries. Dewayne Gallman, Orleans darkwa solidly

1094
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:15,319
Speaker 1: on your bench. Are we doing on time? Let's work

1095
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: in one more matchup, Let's do it. Ravens take on

1096
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: the Browns. Brian. One of the candidates for the Rod

1097
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: Dane Award for this year is Alex Collins, although kind

1098
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: of comes in almost too hot for the Ron Dane Award.

1099
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: What do you think of Alex Collins this week against

1100
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: the Browns run defense that for much of the year

1101
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: was ranked number one and yards per carry allowed. Yeah,

1102
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: they've been great all year, not so much recently, as

1103
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: have allowed a hundred plus combo yards to running backs

1104
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: in four straight games. And Collins does have at least

1105
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: two catches and five of his last six games, So

1106
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: there is some versatility out of the backfield there that

1107
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give him a B because I still

1108
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: respect the Browns run game enough. Danny Woodhead on the

1109
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: benchlow averaging just thirty two combo yards in four games

1110
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: since returning from injury. Just three red zone targets in

1111
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: that span. It's not getting usage you want for a

1112
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: Week fifteen matchup. So he's on the bench. Mike Wallace

1113
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: and give him a CEE. He is questionable with an

1114
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: ankle injury. Should be good to go. Averaging seventy through

1115
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 1: receiving yards the last four weeks, Cleveland has surrendered the

1116
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: fifth most touchdowns to wide receivers. So I'll give Wallace

1117
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: a go. I got Macklin on the bench unless Wallace

1118
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: is declared inactive. Uh. Nineteen targets over the last two

1119
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: games for Jeremy Macklin, but just seven catches. Kind of

1120
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: kind of bad ratio there. He did score in the

1121
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: Week two meeting when these teams played, but just thirty

1122
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: one yards. Uh. He's a hail Mary if you need it,

1123
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: but on the bench for now. And then Ben Watson

1124
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: and Joe Flacco were both might take a chance on

1125
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: me players. Great pairing if you're on fan ball this weekend.

1126
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: Very cheap over the Browns up. Sorry the were they

1127
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: playing again? Yes, Josh Gordon gets a b No, Jimmy

1128
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: Smith is a big boon for Gordon. Opposing number one

1129
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I've seen at least ten targets in Baltimore's

1130
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: last four games. Look what Antonio Brown did to the

1131
00:58:55,880 --> 00:59:00,919
Speaker 1: Ravens last week. But just Kaiser is no Big Ben obviously, yeah, grab,

1132
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: that's certainly true. Gordon is safely a top twelve fifteen

1133
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: play this week. He's gotta be Corey Coleman. I'll give

1134
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 1: a desperation. See the Ravens have allowed these second most

1135
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: catches to wide receivers over the last three weeks, and

1136
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 1: during that span, top uh the number two wide receivers

1137
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: from each opposing team. I've seen at least eight targets,

1138
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 1: So Coleman should have some opportunity here. I got Joku

1139
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:23,479
Speaker 1: on the bench, Kaiser on the bench, Isaiah Crowel also

1140
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: on the bench. Baltimore's run defense has been lights out

1141
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: since the return of defensive tackle Brandon Williams over the

1142
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: past six weeks, opposing running backs for averaging just two

1143
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: point nine yards per carry, not one his top fifty

1144
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: seven yards. But I will take a chance on Duke

1145
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: Johnson and PPR leagues. I liked his match up here,

1146
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: all right, nicely done. When we come back, Rams take

1147
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: on the Seahawks. Do you dare go with Robert Woods

1148
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: and his first game back? I had tons of people

1149
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: asking about him and the rest of the Rams find

1150
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: out when we come back. This is Fantasy Football Man.

1151
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan.

1152
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: A series of matchups to get too for you. Ram's

1153
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 1: taking on the Seahawks. Matt and we all know to

1154
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 1: start Todd Gurley in any situation, even against a tough

1155
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: Seattle run defense, but I'm a lot more send your

1156
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 1: thoughts about the passing game here, especially with the return

1157
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 1: of Robert Woods. Yeah, Gurley is in obvious A grade.

1158
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 1: Let's move to Jared Goff. Then Goff, I'm giving a C.

1159
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: Left tackle Andrew Whitworth has an m c L injury,

1160
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 1: but looks like he's going to tough it out and play.

1161
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 1: Last time these two teams met, Seattle, defensive end Frank

1162
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: Clark had a really good day against Whitworth. It was

1163
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 1: healthy back then then that included a strip sack against Goff.

1164
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 1: And then right guard Rob Havenstein is also injured and

1165
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: he gets a lot of Michael Bennett this week, So

1166
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm nervous that Goff won't get the time in the

1167
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: pocket in a hostile environment. The Seattle secondary has a

1168
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: lot of injury issues too. They gave up to sixty

1169
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: eight and two to Bortles last week and one to

1170
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 1: Wentz the week before. Goff had two eight eight no

1171
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns the first meeting. He had two interceptions in that game,

1172
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 1: so he just gets the C grade. The only guy

1173
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 1: getting a B grade on the passing offense is Cooper Cup.

1174
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a b um even though Robert Woods

1175
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 1: is returning from a shoulder injury list this week. In

1176
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: the last five games, five different wide receivers have topped

1177
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: seventy five yards. Three of those have scored. Nelson Aguilar,

1178
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 1: Keelan Cole, and Daddy Mohammedson New each scored from the

1179
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: slot in the last five weeks, and Larry Fitzgerald had

1180
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: ten catches for one thirteen. That gives Cup the nod.

1181
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: Is the best matchup of the three wide receivers. Cups

1182
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 1: also had five or more catches in five straight games.

1183
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm still giving Woods and Watkins each tepid C grades,

1184
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 1: but I don't feel very good about it for either

1185
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:43,919
Speaker 1: of them. Uh let's flip on over to the Seattle side.

1186
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, He's getting an A grade. In an away

1187
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 1: game last week against one of the best three defenses

1188
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: in the league, Wilson put up two or seventy one

1189
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns in the air and had another

1190
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 1: fifty rushing yards. Now he's at home this week against

1191
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 1: the defense that allowed two yards and four touchdown passes

1192
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: to Carson Wentzon three quarters. I like him a lot.

1193
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 1: I rest my case, uh Doug Baldwin. I'm also giving

1194
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: an A. The Rams have given up big days to

1195
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: slot guys as well. Recently. Adam Feeling had a hundred

1196
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: and twenty three and one in Week eleven. Lair Fitzgerald

1197
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 1: had a big day. Nelson Aglar had eight catches for

1198
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 1: sixty four last week, and Baldwin has topped eight yards

1199
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: are scored in five of his last six. I'm not

1200
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: going so far as to chase the stats on Paul

1201
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: Richardson or Tyler Lockett. Richardson has topped seventy two yards

1202
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 1: only once this season and was held out of the

1203
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: end zone and five of the last six, and lock

1204
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: It only has fifteen total targets in his last five games.

1205
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: They're both on your bench, Jimmy Graham gets a B.

1206
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: B is for bounce back, and if you survived Jimmy

1207
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 1: Grand's goose egg last week, kudos to you for building

1208
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 1: an amazing squad. Please tweet me the picture of your

1209
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: lineup this week. At explosive output. Trey Burton and Brent

1210
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: Selleck combined for six catches, seventy six yards and three

1211
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns last week. Jimmy Graham's gonna get a touchdown if

1212
01:02:56,040 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 1: not too this week. Alright, let's go to our next matchup.

1213
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 1: Bengals taking on the Minnesota Vikings. Tough decision on a J.

1214
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: Green for a lot of people. He gets Xavier Rhads

1215
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: and the Vikings defense that ranks fourth against the past.

1216
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 1: Rhads is shutdown a series of Green level receivers like

1217
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: Julio Jones two weeks ago, but he's also nervousing at

1218
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: caff injury. He's given up two touchdowns in the last

1219
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: three games. Green's been heavily targeted the last couple of weeks,

1220
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: but almost all receivers see a big dip and targets

1221
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 1: and receptions against Roads. Just a B grade for a J.

1222
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: Green in this matchup. Andy Dalton gets a CE coming

1223
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: out the worst game of his season last week. He

1224
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 1: faces a much tougher defense, and he's on the road.

1225
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 1: Vikings ranked fourth against the past. They've given up the

1226
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 1: second fewest passing touchdowns On the plus side. Of his

1227
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: six road games this year, Dalton's accounted for three d

1228
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,479
Speaker 1: yards passing and are multiple touchdowns five times. I believe

1229
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings are gonna get way ahead in this game

1230
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 1: and that's going to neutralize the running game, and they

1231
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 1: are going to pass a lot, and so volume could

1232
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 1: be on dalton side as well. Still only gets a

1233
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: C grade here. Tyler Croft is on the bench. Over

1234
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: the last five games, he's averaging one catch and twenty

1235
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 1: eight yards per game. That's it. He doesn't score touchdown,

1236
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 1: he kills you, and the Vikings haven't allowed to tie

1237
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: it into score touchdown in eight straight weeks. Let's go

1238
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: to the running game. Still waiting for final word on

1239
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: whether or not Joe Mixon is going to clear the

1240
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 1: protocol or not, and or if that means what that

1241
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: would mean for Geopening Bernard. But um, he's still gonna

1242
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: face the Vikings defense that ranked second against the run.

1243
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 1: They've held back to just three point seven yards per

1244
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:28,919
Speaker 1: carry this year, and prior to Jonathan Stewart's inexplicable three

1245
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: touchdown explosion last week. They've only given a three rushing

1246
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 1: touchdowns all year, so I don't particularly like don't particularly

1247
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 1: like Joe Mixon even if he does go, if Jeoe Bernard,

1248
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 1: if he doesn't go, then I like Bernard more. They'll

1249
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 1: get all the work, but still not enough to get

1250
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 1: him out of a C grade. Here, let's go to

1251
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: the Viking side. I love Adam Feeling in this matchup,

1252
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 1: so let's just talk broadly. Here's your Your Bengal secondary

1253
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 1: is ravage with injury. They just put Adam Jones on.

1254
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: I are they're gonna be without Drake ker Patrick, safety

1255
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 1: Sean Williams may not. We don't think dar Key's done.

1256
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: Are their number three cornerback is gonna go? It's backups

1257
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: everywhere inside linebacker vants perfect is not going to go

1258
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: in this game. It's a disaster on defense. Even Sad

1259
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 1: two seventy yards on this defense last You've been waiting

1260
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: to use that button. It's so good. Case Kingdom sitting

1261
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: on potentially a very big game here. I've upgraded Case

1262
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: all the way up to an a start. Adam Felan goes.

1263
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 1: We'll go up against depth cornerback Cavar A. Russell, something

1264
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 1: called Cavar Russell. Last last week, nondescriptive bear slot receiver

1265
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 1: Kendall Wright put up ten catches for a hundred seven

1266
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: yards and Cavary Russell. I love Adam Theland in this game.

1267
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: Stefan digs a B grade for him in the last

1268
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 1: six games and he's only averaging four catches and fifty yards.

1269
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 1: But again against this injury ravage secondary, I think this

1270
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: is a great opportunity. So we'll we'll start Stefan Diggs

1271
01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 1: with a B grade as well. And the only other

1272
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:03,479
Speaker 1: member of the passing game I want to talk about

1273
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 1: is Kyle Rudolph, who in the last few minutes has

1274
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 1: been upgraded. You rarely see this the Friday the Saturday

1275
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 1: upgrade from doubtful to questionable. Um, but I don't like

1276
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: him here. He's got the bad foot and he I'm

1277
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 1: worried that they're only going to use him as a

1278
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 1: blocker in this game, that the mobility would him and

1279
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: Cincinnati has allowed just three tight end touchdowns all year

1280
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: and just one in the last six weeks. So I

1281
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: don't like Kyle Rudolph and will keep him on the bench.

1282
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: Lottavius Murray has got a great opportunity. As I mentioned before,

1283
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 1: inside linebacker Vante's perfect is out. We just saw the

1284
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 1: Bears run Jordan Howard through this defense. I like the

1285
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,919
Speaker 1: straight ahead power running that we're gonna get from Lottavius Murray.

1286
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: He gets a B grade here, and then Jerick McKinnon

1287
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 1: gets a C grade as well. Utility backs have done

1288
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: well against the Bengals. We saw with Kohen last week

1289
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: he managed to get to roughly one yards, and other

1290
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 1: recent examples include Duke Johnson who put up almost seventy

1291
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 1: yards of Marlon Back put up sixty three and a

1292
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: score Davante Booker total yard. Utility backs like McKinnon also

1293
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 1: getting it done. Next, Patriots taking on the Steelers and

1294
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 1: game of the week for sure. Brian Um obviously Patriots

1295
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: of the Week. Brady Gronk A. Their numbers against Pittsburgh

1296
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 1: are ridiculous and expected shootout. You're obviously starting them. Brandon

1297
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: Cooks not so obvious though. I'm also sure how many

1298
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 1: Brandon Cook's owners survived last week in advanced in their

1299
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 1: in their man but yeah, only three catches are fifty

1300
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: five yards over his last two games. Cook's usually lines

1301
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: up on the left side of the field. That puts

1302
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 1: him on already Burns, who was a very solid corner.

1303
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 1: So I just gotta see on Cooks. I'll put a

1304
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 1: sea on Chris Hogan too. Played a party fifty five

1305
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 1: snaps last week, but just one catch for one yard

1306
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 1: on five targets. Pittsburgh has given up eight touchdowns to

1307
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 1: wide receivers over the last five weeks. They do get

1308
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden back, though, so that things Hogan's prospects a

1309
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 1: little bit. But I think he's startable here, should be

1310
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 1: a much better off than last week. I am putting

1311
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: Danny Ammendla on the bench though. Uh Pittsburgh slot corner

1312
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 1: Might Kill hasn't allowed to touchdown all season and opposing

1313
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have a sixty point seven rating when throwing into

1314
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 1: his coverage, so he is on the bench. And then

1315
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 1: for the running backs, I'll give a b to Dion

1316
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 1: Lewis and Rex burkhead Pittsburgh's middle of the pack against

1317
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: the run. They really miss Ryan Shazier obviously. Uh Lewis

1318
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: averaging more than six yards per carry over the last

1319
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: four weeks but hasn't topped fifteen carries all season. Burkehead

1320
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: has let's see, over the last two games, five red

1321
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 1: zone carries, three inside the ten, while Dion Lewis has

1322
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: just two red zone carries, zero from inside the ten.

1323
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:32,679
Speaker 1: Like Burkehead a little more, he's a goal line guy.

1324
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 1: But bs for both of those guys over to Pittsburgh.

1325
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 1: Let's give some aids to Levy on Bell and Antonio Brown.

1326
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 1: I need to go any further into that Juju Smith

1327
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: Schuster who had a sea here. He's looking to be

1328
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: truly decision and the hamstring, and that makes me nervous

1329
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,640
Speaker 1: because we all go. Bill Belichick likes to focus on

1330
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: one guy right, certainly not gonna be Juju Smith Schuster.

1331
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 1: It was gonna be Levy Bell of Antonio Brown, who knows.

1332
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 1: But so I liked Juju, and I even like Martavis Bryant.

1333
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:01,679
Speaker 1: I like Brian All a whole lot more. If Juju's out,

1334
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: if he's a guy available, go grab him right now.

1335
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 1: He could use surpus starter on your team. I think,

1336
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 1: uh so, I'll get both of those guys to see

1337
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 1: a bit monitor Juju very closely, and then big band

1338
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 1: at home automatic a for Ben at home November December games.

1339
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: Over the last three years, he's like three sixty yards

1340
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:21,920
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns per game. Uh, let's take a break.

1341
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:24,799
Speaker 1: When we come back our final set of matchups including

1342
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:29,760
Speaker 1: Titans versus forty Niners. Can you start Marcus Mariota down

1343
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 1: the stretch? Find out when we come back your distinct

1344
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Football Weekly on the fan finale of the

1345
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 1: semi final editions of Fantasy Football Weekly, All Chat cham

1346
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson, Matt Harrison with you. Let's up into our

1347
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 1: final set of matchups. We can get to the phones.

1348
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: Titans take on the forty Niners. Matt, it's uh even

1349
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 1: a gameing of forty Niners's hard to drum up a

1350
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: lot of excitement for my Titans players. Yeah, it's It's

1351
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 1: a good matchup for Marcus Mariotta, but I'm still only

1352
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: given him a C grade. The Niners have allowed multiple

1353
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 1: touchdown passes and seven of their last eight, including two

1354
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: to t J Yates and a relief effort last week.

1355
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 1: But Mariota is still dealing with a knee injury and

1356
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:26,320
Speaker 1: he's thrown one or zero touchdown passes in ten games

1357
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: this season. How How many times have gone like, hey,

1358
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:31,719
Speaker 1: nice matchup for Mariota. Yeah, you're banking on a rushing score,

1359
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:34,439
Speaker 1: which he has had two in the last four weeks.

1360
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 1: In San Francisco has allowed running quarterbacks to score. Russell Wilson,

1361
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 1: dek Prescott, Jacoby Brisett and Kirk Cousins all scored on

1362
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:44,640
Speaker 1: the ground against It sound like a B grade. It's

1363
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 1: a C grade because probably i'd bench him if there

1364
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:50,639
Speaker 1: wasn't the rushing angle. H Delaney Walker the long awaited

1365
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker revenge game. Walker has had at least five

1366
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 1: catches in six of his last seven games and scored

1367
01:10:57,439 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 1: and two of his last three. He gets the C grade.

1368
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 1: The Niners have allowed six tight end touchdowns in the

1369
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: last seven games, but he's the only one in the

1370
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: passing game that's startable. Besides Mariotte, of course, Richard Matthews

1371
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 1: and Corey Davis, both on the bench. Matthews is still

1372
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 1: dealing with a hamstring injury, only at nineteen yards on

1373
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:15,800
Speaker 1: five targets last week. Davis is only top to fifty

1374
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 1: yards once this season, that was in Week one. Then

1375
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:21,480
Speaker 1: there's DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry, who are both desperation

1376
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 1: see plays. Murray hopped back into the lead role last week.

1377
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 1: Eight touch totals over Henry. Since the week eight by

1378
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 1: neither players top to fourteen rushing attempts in the game,

1379
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 1: so you're hoping for a touchdown. In the six games

1380
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 1: since the bye week, each of them has three. The

1381
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 1: Niners spent the early part of the season getting burned

1382
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 1: by running backs, but they have not allowed a running

1383
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:42,599
Speaker 1: back score of any kind in the last five games,

1384
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 1: so they're just desperation. See plays over on the San

1385
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:50,559
Speaker 1: Francisco side, Carlos Hides getting a B run stuffing Dan

1386
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: de Kwon Jones will be out this week, much like

1387
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 1: he was last week when Kerwin Williams, Elijah Penny, and

1388
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,599
Speaker 1: DJ Foster combined for a hundred and thirty six total

1389
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:01,120
Speaker 1: yards and Hides coming off seventy eight yards in a

1390
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:03,519
Speaker 1: score last week in Houston, a game where he averaged

1391
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 1: five point six yards per carried. Garoppolos starting to open

1392
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 1: up a few lanes for Carlos Hide. Marquis Goodwins, the

1393
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 1: other guy that you want to start on San Francisco,

1394
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 1: he gets a B grade. I'm not buying the Titans

1395
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 1: recent success against wide receivers as in no wide receivers

1396
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the last three weeks, but they faced Jacoby Brisette,

1397
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 1: Tom Savage and Blaine Gabbard over that span. And if

1398
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 1: you consider Jimmy Garoppolo a good quarterback like I do,

1399
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 1: you'll see Goodwin put up numbers similar similar to those

1400
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 1: that the other wide receivers of good quarterbacks have. He

1401
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: probably won't hit Antonio Browns and forty four and three,

1402
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 1: but he's averaging per game under Garoppolo. Yeah, Brandon LaFell

1403
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 1: had nine and a touchdown three weeks ago, and A. J.

1404
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,840
Speaker 1: Green had one, fifteen and one. Macklin had ninety eight

1405
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 1: yards in Week nine. So Garoppolo's Garoppolo is a good

1406
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 1: play for him. Twenty eight of his throwers have gone

1407
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 1: to goodent of his throws have gone to Goodwin this year.

1408
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:53,760
Speaker 1: And of course Garoppolo was gonna take a chance on

1409
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:56,639
Speaker 1: me quarterback hy Yes he was. Cowboys take on the Raiders.

1410
01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:00,720
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris sitting on a potentially big game here he

1411
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,640
Speaker 1: um starting running backs have topped one yards and or

1412
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:08,919
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown in nine of the past ten against Oakland.

1413
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 1: Nine times. We don't have to do it. We got

1414
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 1: we gotta keep going here. Dallas offense has gotten back

1415
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:17,799
Speaker 1: on track the last two weeks, averaging thirty four points,

1416
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:20,439
Speaker 1: and Morris has had a big roll of that, averaging

1417
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 1: twenty five touches and one six total yards over the

1418
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 1: last two weeks. I love him this week. Uh, let's

1419
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:27,600
Speaker 1: go to the passing game. Well, let me touch on

1420
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 1: rod Smith. What we're talking about running backs. I've got

1421
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,599
Speaker 1: a C grade on him. Um. Not only the Raiders

1422
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 1: allow of posing runners to give up one of the

1423
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 1: yards of score nine of the lust ten as I memgined,

1424
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:36,760
Speaker 1: it also getting a bunch of receptions as well, six

1425
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 1: most receptions, third most touchdown catches the running backs. That's

1426
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 1: a lot of the rod Smith games. C C grade here,

1427
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 1: he is startable. Then let's go to the passing game.

1428
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott gets a B on paper. The Raiders secondary

1429
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:52,639
Speaker 1: looks improved of late, but they faced the lackluster passing

1430
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 1: stylings of Alex Smith and Geno Smith and Trevor Simme

1431
01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: in the last three weeks and everybody else named Smith

1432
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:01,800
Speaker 1: every at prior to that. The Raiders are getting assaulted

1433
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 1: by almost every quarterback they faced, and press Prescott's got

1434
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 1: his offensive line back and healthy again. I like him.

1435
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 1: Here he gets a B grade Dez Bryant, and I

1436
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 1: want to say this is gonna be a breakout game

1437
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 1: for Dez Bryant receiver. We has not top to one

1438
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 1: hundred yards all year, and maybe it will happen, but

1439
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 1: the matchup is really more close to like a neutral matchup,

1440
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:21,519
Speaker 1: and he runs over half of his routes from the

1441
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:23,679
Speaker 1: left side of the field, where he will be covered

1442
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 1: by Oakland's Dexter McDonald, who ranks fifty feet in coverage

1443
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:31,600
Speaker 1: grades by Pro Football Focus. The Raiders secondary struggled with

1444
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 1: speedy wide outs, not physical white outs, and des Bryant

1445
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:36,680
Speaker 1: is not a speedy white out, He's a physical white out.

1446
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 1: So I'm just a B grade on Dez Bryant. Here,

1447
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 1: Jason Wenten gets a B grade. He's caught a touchdown

1448
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:46,040
Speaker 1: in two straight games, and he faces the Raiders defense

1449
01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 1: that's surrendered the second most receptions and fourth most yards

1450
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 1: to opposing tight ends. So well, we should see an

1451
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 1: uptaken volume, which has been hurting Witten lately in this game.

1452
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Oakland side. Derek Carr, I mean,

1453
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:01,920
Speaker 1: what a on you mental egg? Did he lay on

1454
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 1: fantasy owners last week and what should have been an

1455
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: awesome matchup. I loved Car, I had him ranked as

1456
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:09,599
Speaker 1: my number two quarterback against a horrible Kansas City secondary,

1457
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 1: and he did nothing, uh one touchdown pass. So I'm

1458
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: a sorry and B he should be more sorry than

1459
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 1: I am. It's understandable if you just don't want to

1460
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:21,639
Speaker 1: start him again. Here. Dallas isn't a great secondary. They've

1461
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:24,679
Speaker 1: allowed touchdowns to every opposing quarterback this year. They've allowed

1462
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns to five of the past six. Plenty of

1463
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:29,720
Speaker 1: upside here for Car, but we thought that last week

1464
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:32,840
Speaker 1: as well. Be great on Car. Michael Crabtree kind of

1465
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 1: like him here. Dallas is a lot of the most

1466
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:37,680
Speaker 1: touchdowns of wide receivers and Marie Cooper is out. All

1467
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 1: six of Crabtree's touchdowns have come at home. Derek Carr

1468
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:43,839
Speaker 1: continues to look his way, giving him double digit targets

1469
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 1: and three of the last four full games for crab Tree.

1470
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:49,680
Speaker 1: So I like crab Tree. B. I almost gave him

1471
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 1: an A grade for this one. Jared Cook gets a

1472
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: B grade. Dallas has allowed four scores to tight ends

1473
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: in its last six games. Cook broke a three game

1474
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 1: skid last week and has seen at least five arguts

1475
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 1: in every game, so I kind of like him here.

1476
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 1: And then lastly, Marshawn Lynch beast mode. He has been

1477
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 1: terrific since returning from suspension, five touchdowns in five games.

1478
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 1: This is a Dallas run defense that's been good lately.

1479
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:15,760
Speaker 1: They've held back to eighty three yards per game on

1480
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 1: just three point four yards per carry the last three weeks,

1481
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 1: but they've struggled against power runners. Obviously that's Lynch, C

1482
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 1: J Anderson, Todd, Gurley, J Gi all top nine one

1483
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: yards and average six yards per carry against Dallas. So

1484
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:32,560
Speaker 1: we will try. We'll give a eight. We'll give a

1485
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:35,839
Speaker 1: B grade to Marshawn Lynch in this game final matchup.

1486
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:39,839
Speaker 1: It's the Monday Nighter Falcons versus the Bucks. The Buccaneer

1487
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:44,240
Speaker 1: defense will be without star linebacker Lavante David maybe the

1488
01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:46,639
Speaker 1: one of the best defensive tackles in the game, Gerald

1489
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 1: McCoy is out. Their slot cornerback Vernon Hargraves out. I

1490
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 1: think the Falcons are gonna kill him. Yeah, you're probably right.

1491
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:58,479
Speaker 1: Julio Jones a two three and two just three weeks ago.

1492
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 1: That might be his floor in the match he's obviously

1493
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 1: mom AND's you know I had to be. He's a

1494
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:06,639
Speaker 1: borderline eight. Now he's my number, he's my number fifteen

1495
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:10,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I'm still gonna say would be just because, uh,

1496
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that I love too. Yeah, you're starting

1497
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 1: a moss Hes scored in four of his last seven games.

1498
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 1: He had eight catches for sixty four yards in the

1499
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:19,560
Speaker 1: first meeting, so he's an easy start. Austin Hooper I

1500
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 1: have on the bench despite all the injuries, three catches

1501
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:24,599
Speaker 1: for thirty eight yards in the first meeting. The Bucks

1502
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:26,559
Speaker 1: have yielded the third few is targets to tight ends

1503
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:28,640
Speaker 1: and have allowed just three touchdowns to the position. They

1504
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 1: are missing some key pieces that you just mentioned, but

1505
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm still benching Hooper, not benching Matt Ryan obvious a

1506
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: as well as is DeVante Freeman Tampa. I don't even

1507
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 1: need to go into this right You're sorry. Tevin Coleman's

1508
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:43,759
Speaker 1: my number two running back this week. I love Freeman

1509
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 1: is a little tricky still in concussion protocol. If you're

1510
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 1: relying on him in deeper leagues, you might want to

1511
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 1: go grab to ron Ward in the event Coleman sits.

1512
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 1: But I got him on the I'll give him a

1513
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 1: you might want to grab Peyton Barber and actually that

1514
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: might be a good play too, like the Bucks left

1515
01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 1: the row all day long in this game. But anyway,

1516
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:04,559
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman, I'll give him a see if he clears protocol.

1517
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 1: But that's very dice. Didn't even practice on Friday, and

1518
01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:10,679
Speaker 1: usually you practice before you clear the protocol. So I'd

1519
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:12,640
Speaker 1: say Kevin Coleman is like a ten percent chance of

1520
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 1: going in this one. Yeah, not looking good. You can

1521
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 1: pretty much expect him to be on the bench over

1522
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 1: to the Bucks. I'm not benching Mike Evans. I'm gonna

1523
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 1: give him a C stands for come on man. Twelve

1524
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 1: targets though in the first meeting caught six or seventy

1525
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 1: eight yards. That was with Stu Beard. He does Winston

1526
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:30,800
Speaker 1: in this game. Evans has scored in all three of

1527
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 1: his prior meetings with Atlanta, totally four touchdowns, so he

1528
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 1: has good history against his division rival. I'm still rolling

1529
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:38,720
Speaker 1: the dice on Evans this week. H DeShawn Jackson I

1530
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:40,800
Speaker 1: do have on the bench. Atlanta is allowing me fifth

1531
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:44,320
Speaker 1: few yards to receivers. Jackson had eight catches for sixty

1532
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:46,519
Speaker 1: yards on eleven targets in the first meeting. That's a

1533
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 1: stat line you'd never see from Sevan Jackson. It's very

1534
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:52,160
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry of him. But I got him on the

1535
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 1: bench here. I just can't trust the Jackson's way to

1536
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 1: boom er bus, especially in week fifteen. Stay away from

1537
01:18:57,360 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: the tight ends. They combined for just four catches when

1538
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 1: these teams or submit. So Brayton Howard are on the bench,

1539
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 1: and I'll give Winston. Uh. I was tempted to give

1540
01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 1: him a be just because I think the game script

1541
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 1: is really gonna favor him. Gonna give him a ce

1542
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 1: missed the first meeting, but he does have at least

1543
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 1: two d seventy yards and two touchdowns in his last

1544
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:16,519
Speaker 1: two games. Atlanta has allowed the eight he was passing

1545
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 1: yards this year. But um, I think Winston will have

1546
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:20,599
Speaker 1: to throw a lot in this one. So I'll give

1547
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:22,400
Speaker 1: him the sea And Peyton Barber was your take a

1548
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 1: chance to me running back? He is might take a

1549
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:27,360
Speaker 1: chance on me running back? Time for lightning round. You

1550
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:30,760
Speaker 1: know the drill one question between two players, and we

1551
01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: are gonna power through calls between now on the top

1552
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 1: of the hour. Let's see I believe we left off

1553
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 1: on Will who's been on hold for the better part

1554
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:44,679
Speaker 1: of the entire show. High Well, Rivers or Rogers. Yeah,

1555
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with the Rivers, play the hot hand. We

1556
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:52,200
Speaker 1: don't know where Rodgers is yet. Ben, You're next, guys again,

1558
01:19:56,640 --> 01:20:01,400
Speaker 1: of your preferred take a chance to me quarterback Without

1559
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:04,920
Speaker 1: Land and Collins, the Eagles should score sixty points in

1560
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 1: this games. Foles all day. I've got bortles higher than Foles,

1565
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:31,599
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't think I can go away from

1566
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: Alex Collins at this point. I think that's correct. I

1567
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 1: think we're gonna stick with Alex Collins. Wade your next. Okay, guys,

1568

Speaker 1: I met Harget to hold. I'm not gonna hear your

01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 1: answers to make it quick. Collins are Kareem Hunts. I'm

1570
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: gonna stick with Collins as well. We don't know that

1571
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 1: Kareem hunt will get the workload in any given Sunday.

1572
01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:51,800
Speaker 1: I've got Collins web at number seven at the running

Speaker 1: got Rogers Hires as well. I know Matt doesn't. Matt

1576
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:06,679
Speaker 1: thinks it's going to be a very past oriented game.

1577
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:10,240
Speaker 1: But they're gonna score forty five points, so I think

1578
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:13,200
Speaker 1: that in Yeah, there's gonna be enough. James here next,

1633
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 1: got Cousins. I'd lean Cousins to. You could hit the

1634
01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:37,240
Speaker 1: waiver wire and get Nick Foles, and I would start

1635
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:41,720

1640
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 1: season with Mike Evans Twins wide receiver five instead of

1641
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:05,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver twenty like he is right now. Yeah, I
