Good morning, guys. 15 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: Is that a tribute to the long lost Christian Peterson 16 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: right there? Sure? Yeah? We like that, Um, we don't 17 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: like Christians just like Yeah, he apparently don't hasn't been 18 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: on the show in two years now because he won't 19 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: come on the show too good for us. That's you know, 20 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: if you're gonna say you're too good for us, then yes, 21 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: that was the case. Church. You'll appreciate this, and it 22 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: was something that connects with our fantasy football almost daily podcast. 23 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: We did an appliance draft at lunch the other day. 24 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: Was Christian. I could just do it out of my 25 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: kitchen because all I've done is buying new appliances for 26 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: the last year. I can tell you which ones you 27 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: do not want to fall into. I can I can 28 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: rank them, um, and the one you really don't want 29 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: to fall into, other than the burning oven, I think 30 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: would probably be the dishwasher. Take it from me, um 31 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: Plenty to get to over the course of the show 32 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: is our usual stuff. But I've got two things that 33 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: I want to talk about before we got dive into 34 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: our matchups and are take a chance on me and 35 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: everything else? Number One, the news in Baltimore that Joe 36 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: Flacco may miss an extended period of time there. I'm 37 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: by this week coming out of the by the presumption 38 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: is that Lamar Jackson will be the starter, but we 39 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: don't know for sure. There are some reports saying, you 40 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: know that r G three is technically the number two 41 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: quarterback I guess on the depth chart, but they because 42 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: they like the running that Lamar Jackson can do and 43 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: all the hybrid stuff they've been utilizing him and for 44 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: gadget place. But that doesn't mean that if they need 45 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: an every damn quarterback they'd go to Jackson. What are 46 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: your thoughts on acquiring either of the Ravens quarterbacks? So 47 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: what this says to me is that the Ravens aren't 48 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: quite ready to move on from Joe Flacco yet. The 49 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: only reason you do not start the Lamar Jackson era 50 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: and and go with Bobby three sticks Robert Griffin. The 51 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: third is you're not ready to move on from Joe 52 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,559 Speaker 1: Flacco because you can easily go back from Griffin to Flacco. 53 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: But if Lamar Jackson comes in and has a couple 54 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: of good games, there's no turning back. So I think 55 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: that they still have some legitimate loyalty to Joe Flack, 56 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: which he very If Lamar Jackson does get in there Cincinnati, Oakland, 57 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: Atlanta to start out, That's why I'm picking up Lamar Jackson. 58 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: You guys are putting us in fantasy terms. I mean, 59 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: I say, you know, my immediate response on Twitter was 60 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: go get Lamar jack He was picked up everywhere within 61 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: five minutes of Yeah, you have to, because uh, you're 62 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: gonna get from Lamar Jackson probably RB two running numbers 63 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: like fifty yards rushing and a coin flips chance at 64 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: at a at a touchdown, which is you know what 65 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: you're getting when you're starting Keevin Coleman, right, and then 66 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: all the passings just gravy. Basically, if he can throw 67 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: for hundred ninety yards and a touchdown, that's just all 68 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: bonus points. That's a that can be in sort of 69 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: like Robert Griffin the third when he was before yeah, right, 70 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: when he could actually run. So I'm I'm I'm actually 71 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: pretty excited about Jackson. Um already had him, had had 72 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: him statted from the beginning of the year in a 73 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: couple of leagues. But there's a I highly recommend that 74 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: people go out and get Lamar Jackson and see how 75 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: this thing plays out. Robert Griffin and even if Robert 76 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: Griffin were the game the first starter with Flacco out, 77 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: does not mean Griffin will be the game too starter 78 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: with with Flacco out. So let's get Lamar Jackson. Keep 79 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: our fingers crossed that they go to the first round 80 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: rookie next hypothetically, and this is the case for a 81 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: lot of our listeners. You're down by fifty points after 82 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: the crazy explosion of points that came on Thursday night. Guys, 83 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: give some advice to those people that are already down 84 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: by a wide margin. What do you do? Just hang 85 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: it up, just talking out. Don't even try quit fantasy 86 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: football altogether. I mean, yeah, it's just over. It's high risk, 87 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: high reward guys. You you look at your wide receiver 88 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: to wide receiver three and your flex plays, and you go, 89 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: which guy has the crazy high upside but the crazy 90 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: low floor, and and you try to just hit on 91 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: a couple of those. It's it's got to be playing 92 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: the same with the ones that were close. Like if 93 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: you have two quarterbacks and one is fits and one 94 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: is like Dalton has the higher upside. And I think 95 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: throughout the show today, when we're going through the matchups, 96 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: maybe we can use like some sort of sound or 97 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: something like that to to signify some of these players 98 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: that doesn't seem high upside while you're down by fifty. 99 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: If you're down by fifty right now, that's that's how 100 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: you're feeling Okay, the sad trombone play, We're gonna call it. 101 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: We can do this. The vulture doesn't really make sense. 102 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: We need that better, No, we really do. It'll come 103 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: up with something. There's gonna be some amazing comebacks by 104 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: teams though stories I think there will be. Yeah. The 105 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: thing you're missing on is get try to hook up 106 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: together quarterback wide receiver so that if your wide receiver 107 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: goes off, he takes the quarterback with him, or vice versa. 108 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: The quarterback goes off, he probably you know you've got 109 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: something out of your out of your your receiver as well. Well, 110 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: how about this too, If your quarterback is playing your 111 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: opponent's wide receiver or vice versa, do you try to 112 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: avoid those matchups? Well, yeah, I mean I think. Well 113 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,799 Speaker 1: let's so let's flip it over. Let's say you're protecting 114 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: a fifty point lead, like because of a lot of 115 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: our listeners are very savvy fantasy players, of course, so 116 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: let's assume any of them are protecting a fifty point 117 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: lead right now, flip it over for them and talk 118 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: about what you do to make sure that you don't 119 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: end up on the wrong side on Sunday. Well, super 120 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: safe plays. If uh, if I'm the Drew Breese owner 121 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: and my opponent's got Michael Thomas, I'm very happy having 122 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: Drew Brees in my lineup because every Michael Thomas touchdown 123 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: down to so that that's kind of how you play. 124 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: You just you just go ultra safe and and you 125 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: go for the guys that are lower. You look at 126 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: receivers who catch a lot of passes and will give 127 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: you your PPR points and not necessarily, say a Tyler 128 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: Lockett who needs to turn three receptions into a touchdown. 129 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: If Tyler Lockett doesn't give you the touchdown, you're stuck. 130 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: You want Jarvis Landry's of the world. You do you 131 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: want Jarvis Landry. You want your safe plays right down 132 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: the middle of the fairway if you're up by fifty points. 133 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: All right, let's dive into the matchups, beginning with probably 134 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: the least interesting one of the entire day, Bills taking 135 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: on Jets. We have two new quarterbacks at home in 136 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: all probability for this game at the entire day, try 137 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: the entire year. While that could be too um, I've 138 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: got Buffalo on the bench. Okay, as a team, Yeah, 139 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: the team is on the bench. The Bills have not 140 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: thrown a touchdown pass in three weeks. They have three 141 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: passing touchdowns on the season to sixteen interceptions. That's unbelievable. Also, 142 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: the Bills running backs have not run for a touchdown 143 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: since Week two. God, that's that's unreal. That's the worst 144 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: offense maybe in the history of the league. It's it's 145 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: gonna be in that conversation if they don't turn it around. 146 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: And so let's flip it over to the Jet side. 147 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: Isaiah Crowle and Elijah McGuire are my only starters on 148 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: the Jets side, and they're barely starters like c minus starters. 149 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: The Bills have allowed twelve touchdowns to running backs in 150 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: nine games. That's the good part. The only problem is 151 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: is now we're looking at a split timeshare backfield and 152 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: only one back is top the century mark against them. 153 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: I'm not excited about either, but either are available to 154 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: be played. Uh. Josh McCown is starting for the Jets 155 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: as quarterback. He's on the bench. The Bills are only 156 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: allowing two or twenty five passing yards per game. That's 157 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: tied for the third fewest in the NFL. Robby Anderson 158 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: has an ankle injury, he may not go, and he 159 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: was an account's favorite target last year. Quincy and None 160 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: one Jermaine Curse are both on the bench as well, 161 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: and none was pretty much moved to the outside now 162 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: and Curses moved inside as the slot received around an 163 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: almost full time basis. Yeah, but now with the change 164 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks, so you under Darnald it was just like, 165 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: you know, we just fed the slot over and over 166 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: and over again. But now we're at McCown, so you know, 167 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: McCown was not as slot oriented in the past. Thing 168 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: I'm worried about is ann one matches up with tred 169 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: Davis White, who's a well above average cornerback in the NFL, 170 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: so he's on the bench, and then Chris Herndon, who 171 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: scored in three of his last four, but that was 172 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: all with Donald. I don't know the relationship between McCown 173 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: and Herndon. Thank you sage like wisdom from Scott Fish 174 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: and the Bills are only allowing four receptions in forty 175 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: one yards per game to opposing tight ends, so it's 176 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 1: not something I want to chase after here with Herndon. Um, 177 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: I think overall the Jets are better. Honestly, the way 178 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: that Donald had played for the last month. The whole 179 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: offense is a little bit better with Josh McCown, even 180 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: on zero reps for this year. I think the over 181 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: under in this game is thirty seven, and I think 182 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: i'd take the under. Scott Seahawks taking on the Rams. 183 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: This is a surprisingly good Seahawks defense, and um, does 184 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,719 Speaker 1: this present any problems for the Rams. I'm just to 185 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: hear what you have to think. I don't know. The 186 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: last game they played one kind of the shootout actually, UM, Seahawks. 187 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: Obviously you can tell by the score. She has almost 188 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: won that game. It was it was touch and go. Yeah, 189 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: they really did, and they did it on the ground 190 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: with thirty four touches to running back. Say, I wonder 191 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: if that's a little bit of the blueprint to hold 192 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: the Rams down. UM, let's start with a running game 193 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: instead here we usually start with the passing. Let's start 194 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: with the running game. Uh. Carson has been questionable a week. 195 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: It's likely he's going to play. If he doesn't, Mike 196 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: Davis is a huge must play. Mike Davis has has 197 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: been the starter twice this year, and he was RB 198 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: six and RB eleven in those two starts, so he's 199 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: a definite start if if not, Carson gets a two 200 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: to one advantage in touches. Usually, So I meet Carson 201 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: a B grade and Davis a C grade because I 202 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: although there's a scenario out there which is tricky where 203 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: Carson's active, but maybe they don't use them or they 204 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: give them much reduced role. It's very it's very difficult 205 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: to project here. You guys remember Penny, Yeah, that was funny. No, no, 206 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: I don't even know who you're talking. I think I 207 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: think he plays a couple of shole team snaps every 208 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: once in a while for a first rounder. Uh, kind 209 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,239 Speaker 1: of like Corderol Patterson for US for a while. Um 210 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson gave him a B grad's he's starting to 211 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: heat up. He has seventy six rushing yards over the 212 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: last three games. He only had forty two rushing yards 213 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: in the first five games toital He's starting to add 214 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: those rushing yards to his UH, to his uh, you know, 215 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: inventory of points he's getting or whatever. It has potential 216 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: for a good game script for for Wilson. I think 217 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: it's possible they fall behind, very very possible they fall 218 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: behind and have to keep catching up. So I have 219 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: a B grade on Russell Wilson here. I give most 220 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: of his receivers bs and seas as well. Baldwin looks 221 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: like he's gonna play. I barely give him a B grade. 222 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: He has seventy five plus yards in two of the 223 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: last three. He's super inconsistent, but he's still the his 224 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's number one guy. It's a unsteady, unsteady B grade. 225 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: He gets the best cornerback the Rams half too, though, Nickel, 226 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: Robie Coleman and not. So I like his one on 227 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: one matchup the East out of the group. You're you 228 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: like Baldwin more than Baldwin jumps around. He's like he's 229 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: normally a slock guy. But it's only like so he 230 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: does jump around. Uh lock it B grade. I almost 231 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: considered an age just because Marcus Peters is game destroyed constantly. Um, 232 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: Baldwin being in is is the scary thing because with 233 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: Baldwin out, Uh, he topped fifty yards in every game 234 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: and scored in two of them. With Baldwin in, he 235 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: hasn't topped three catches yet this season. That once, Yeah, 236 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: it's he's he's You've got to get the touchdown out 237 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: to lock it, but it could happen in this game, 238 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: and he's had six touchdowns in eight games, so it 239 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: could definitely happen. I have a B grade, unlock it, 240 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: a C grade on more barely it becomes very safe 241 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: if Baldwin comes out. But he has five red zone 242 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: targets in the last three weeks, scoring scoring in three 243 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: of them, and Russell Wilson trusted him with the very 244 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: last play the game last week, which tells tells me 245 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: a lot about his trust and David Moore around the 246 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: end zone. So C grade there, goff. Basically, I gave 247 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: all a's to the Rams except for Cooks. I gave 248 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: a B and I'll explain why a second, but Golf 249 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: A grade. My only concern here is the Seahawks have 250 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 1: not allowed its top twelve fantasy quarterback yet this season. 251 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: It's shocking to me. Now they played a lot of 252 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: garbage quarterbacks. That's exactly where I was gonna go, So 253 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go over it. But yes, they played 254 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: a lot of garbage, A lot of garbage quarterback. Um 255 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: uh yeah, I lost my train of thought there, but 256 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: I I really I stopped on your Yeah, exactly exactly. 257 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: It's fine. Golf had five has five hundred yard games 258 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: and five multi touchdown games, and see has a lot 259 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: of back to back touch multi touchdown games to quarterbacks. 260 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm still gonna give him an a here, can I 261 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: can I mention my my golf stat that I may 262 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: have mentioned last week, But I just think it's so 263 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: salient here, and it's playing itself about about Girly. When 264 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: Girly only only scores one or zero rushing touchdowns, Jared 265 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: Goff absolutely goes off. His average game when Gurley only 266 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: has zero or one touchdowns is three fifty yards and 267 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: three almost three and a half touchdowns per game. So 268 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: if Gurly doesn't eat all the touchdowns, Golf gets them, 269 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: so they're always going to score the points. So to me, 270 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: it's always all about how good is Gurly going to be? 271 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: Is the first question. Yeah, so, yeah, exactly, But I 272 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: think Golf is startable either way. And he's a low 273 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: a even in the for me in the in those 274 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: other games, but he's made grade here. Wood's given a 275 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: grade because he's the super consistent target leader. Five catches 276 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: and seventy yards or more than those in eight straight games. Uh, 277 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. I love Cup. I think this is a 278 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: great spot for him. He gets justin Coleman, who plays 279 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: off his slot receiver by six point eight yards. Why 280 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: that's relevant is that when Russell Wilson targets Cooper Cup 281 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: and there's more than five yards cushion, he has a 282 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: near perfect passer rating. Uh and uh, it's just a 283 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: smash spots here. Eight team catches, eight yards and three touchdowns. 284 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: He just if they do that, if they did that 285 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: to Cup, He's gonna hit Cup all day long. Cooks. 286 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: I give the B grade here too. Uh. Cup and 287 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: Woods have scored fourteen and a a half Fantasy points more 288 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: than fourteen and a half Fantasy points all but one 289 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: time combined. Cooks has done it four of eight wakes. 290 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: He does it every other week, and this is an 291 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: off week for him, so that's that's kind of random. 292 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: But he can get the two for fifty two. He 293 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: could explode. He's still gonna be He's still startable. But 294 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: he's the one that I'm most concerned about. Interesting. Robert 295 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: Woods is another one of these safe right down the 296 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: middle wide receivers. Right, you want your seventy yards and 297 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: your six receptions and Woods chips in another ten. Here's 298 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: your guy to help protect your fifty point lead from 299 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: Brandon Cook exactly. He's the guy you need for the 300 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: McCaffrey deficit correct correct or the Bendom deficit or the 301 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown deficit. Yes, anyway, but by the way, a 302 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: Cup is scored in four straight, five of six where 303 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: he played the full game. How about that? Yeah, he 304 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: quietly Cup his like up. He was a top five 305 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: red zone guy last year and this year in games play, 306 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: So going forward, Cooper Cup top ten receiver because nobody's 307 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: thinking that. But I bet if we look at his 308 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: full game averages, I bet he's a top ten receiver 309 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: in fantasy. Yeah. I think it's pretty close. I bet 310 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: it's close right there. I bet quietly Cooper Cup is 311 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: right around a top ten wide receiverate twelve team league. 312 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: He's probably a wide receiver one. When we come back, 313 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: Lions take on the Bears. Will tell you if the 314 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: Lions offense is going to get back on track after 315 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: last week's to backle when we return, this is take 316 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: a chance on me? Is how about that? All right? 317 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: This is very wow. This is how you a woman's woman. 318 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: Maybe this would be in the background of some Come 319 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: of age teenage eighties film, right during some some scene 320 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: in which Mike Lanthony Hall is half naked, come on 321 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: tripping over his underwear. Somedays take a chance on me, right, Well, 322 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: take a chance on me. Nine players not normally in 323 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: your starting lineup. All three of my guys are waiver 324 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: wire players, and I think most of these are our 325 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: guys that are available on the waiver wire. They've all 326 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: got good upside. You're down by a lot. Think about 327 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: these guys beginning eat the quarterback position, Scott uh So, 328 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm going with Marcus Mariota. Mariota has just one game 329 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: over two yards on the season and failed to even 330 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: get a touch on four of seven. That's what worries 331 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: That's what worries me, Okay, but he has a similar 332 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: skill set to Trabinsky, who had who had three and 333 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: thirty two and two and eight one in one rushing 334 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: against them. I think there's a lot of garbage time 335 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: here and the pets on the rutor allowing just over 336 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: three hundred yards and two touchdowns per game. So I 337 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: like that angler. I actually think it's passing hasn't been 338 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: half bad. Matt your quarterback. First off, I have to 339 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: read a text message from my wife Melissa, who says, nope, 340 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: not how you Thank God, well done Melissa. Yes, my 341 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: take a chance on me. Quarterback is Baker Mayfield, who's 342 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: available and I think has some huge upside here. Uh. 343 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: The Falcons have given up over three hundred yards passing 344 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: to six of the eight quarterbacks they faced on the season, 345 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: and three or more touchdown passes to five of those 346 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: six quarterbacks. So five quarterbacks have topped three hundred and 347 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: had at least three touchdowns. Amazing. That's nuts. Now, Baker 348 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: hasn't topped the three hundred yard mark in the last 349 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: four weeks, but he has thrown multiple touchdown passes in 350 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: each of his last three. I like that streak to 351 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: continue this week. I like him too. You know, Baker 352 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 1: keeps having these easy matchups and he hasn't really exploited 353 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: him yet. Maybe this is the one where it all 354 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: comes together. Josh Rosen goes up against Kansas City and 355 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: before last week's by he you may have not remembered, 356 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: and I don't blame you. He's had his best game 357 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: ever two hundred fifty two yards and two touchdowns for 358 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: Josh Rosen, Larry Fitzgerald finally healthy for the first time 359 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: since September, and David Johnson has an awesome matchup through 360 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: the air. The Kansas City secondary playing better middle of 361 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: the pack anyway, but every opposing quarterback except Case Keenum 362 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: has scored against them, and the Cardinals sixteen point underdogs 363 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: are likely to be playing from behind and throwing constantly 364 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: in this game. I love David Johnson by himself might 365 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: power Josh Rosen to a huge game through the air. 366 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 1: Let's go to the running back position, Scott, I'm going 367 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: way off for it here with a guy named Josh 368 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: Adams for the Eagles. UH. Adams said. Adams lead the 369 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: team and carries last week, you know, before the bye, 370 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: and he has fifty of the team's running back to 371 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: attempts inside the tent over the last two weeks. He's 372 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: a bigger back. He average six point eight yards per 373 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: carrying that game against Jacksonville, which is pretty good run defense. UH. 374 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: Cowboys will be without Sean Lee and Sprawls. Darren Sprawls 375 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: is already marked out. They know what they have in 376 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: small Wood and Clement. I can see them giving Adams 377 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: a legit shot here Okay, I've got Edo Smith of 378 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: the Falcons going against Cleveland. He's due for about twelve 379 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: ish touches in this game, splitting time with Tevin Coleman, 380 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: but the matchup is just too juicy to pass on. 381 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: The Browns are bottom ten and nearly every statistical category 382 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: against opposing running backs. They're allowing an average of a 383 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two total yards per game to the 384 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: position that's tied, and they're tied for the most rushing 385 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed. The Falcons rank number eight in the NFL 386 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: in yards created before contact, So they're opening holes and 387 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: they're getting Edo open along the way. All right, I've 388 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: got Spencer wear against Arizona, and I I like this 389 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: one as much as I liked Duke Johnson last week, which, 390 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: by the way, I couldn't help but bring up, wait, 391 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: it's not on here? Where is what happened? Did Tony 392 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: take it with him? D I got two heavy carbons 393 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 1: and I don't have a I don't have a peacock. 394 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: But there it is. There's the peak. Where did the 395 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: from the button bar? Oh? This is not cool. There 396 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: it is there we go, thank you, uh Spencer? Where 397 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna roll in this game. As I 398 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: mentioned with Josh Rosen and backup runners, Spencer, where it's 399 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of run in this game. Arizona 400 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: sees the most rushing attempts by a mile, thirty four 401 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: per game. No chance Kareem Hunt gets thirty four carries 402 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: in this game in a one sided blowout. Here's what 403 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: some of the other backups have done against the Cardinals. 404 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: Royce Freeman scored a touchdown. Alfred Morris put up ninety yards. 405 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: These are all guys in a backup capacity. Rashad Penny 406 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: put up a career high fifty yards, Teri Cohen's seventy yards, 407 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown forty five yards, Chris Thompson hundred thirty yards 408 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: and a touchdown. All backup running backs. Arizona ranks thirty 409 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: one in rushing yards allowed per game. Every opponent except 410 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: San Francisco scored a rushing touchdown against them. Spencer, Where 411 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: let's go our final position receivers, Scott, Yeah, I'm gonna 412 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: go with John Ross. I think it's an upside dart 413 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: throw here. He's finally healthy, finally over that growing injury. 414 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: Has been practicing all week. He had ten targets in 415 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: the two games prior to missing missing time from that injury. 416 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: Fastest receiver in the NFL, Bengals have been playing catch 417 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: up with a J. Green out. All right, I've got 418 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: a deep deep dart throw here. It's Brashad Paraman, the 419 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: first round pick. That is deep. He's playing for Cleveland 420 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: now he's only played three games. Uh. Antonio Callaway's playing 421 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: time was cut significantly last week in the debut of 422 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens. Callaway only ran twenty nine routes. 423 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: Pairman ran nineteen and out of all of the secondary 424 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: receivers for Cleveland, Pairman led the team in targets with six. 425 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: So the Falcons have allowed the seventh most receptions, third 426 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: most yards and touchdowns to the wide receiver position. Pairman 427 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: is a sneaky player on his outside. That is a 428 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: deep fast receivers no hands, Yeah, there's that. I'm going 429 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: with Maurice Harris wide receiver for the Redskins, Morris Mo Harris. Uh. 430 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: He he should work mostly out of the slot, which 431 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: is the bucks Achilles heel. They continue to start the 432 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 1: absolutely dreadful M. J. Stewart, perhaps the worst starting cornerback 433 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: in the NFL allowing He's allowing an almost perfect passer 434 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: rating of one hundred forty eight in his coverage nice, 435 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: which is almost unthinkable. Slot receivers Tyler Boyd, Juju Smith, Schuster, 436 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry, Nelson Aguilar all piled up at least eighty 437 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: eight receiving yards on M J. Stewart four out of 438 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: the five score touchdowns. Harris last week ten catches one 439 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: D twenty four yards. He could go back to back. 440 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 1: I know I don't have to pile on, but on 441 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: that slot thing. They've allowed the most yards and most 442 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: receptions to the slot in the NFL. There you go. Perfect. 443 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: Maurice Harris is our guy. Um so that I think 444 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: virtually all nine of those guys, so the exception of 445 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, I think eight of the nine are on 446 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: waiver wires. Those are some deep sleepers and leeld Yeah, 447 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: you're probably right, and not I don't think so. I 448 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: don't think so. Lions take on the Bears. Let's start 449 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: on the Lions side where Matthew Stafford just got done 450 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: absorbing ten sacks at the hands of the Vikings, and 451 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: here comes Khalil Mack in the Bears defense. That ranks 452 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: six in sacks in the NFL. Chicago sack Stafford seven 453 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: times in the two games last year, and that was 454 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: before Khalil mac got there. I'm worried about Matthew Stafford's 455 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: health and and frankly his his entire future here. The 456 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: Lions offense looked utterly discombobulated last week without Golden Tate. 457 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: I'm not sure it gets better this week. If Stafford 458 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: is gonna be harried for the whole game, I've got 459 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: him as a B grade, but it feels like now 460 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: that I'm talking about it feels like more like a 461 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: C grade for Matthew Stafford. Let's talk about his receivers. 462 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: Marvin Jones in the first game without Golden Tate lad 463 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: all the Detroit receivers in targets, receptions, and yards. So 464 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: maybe that's going to be a sign and a glimmer 465 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: of hope for Marvin. Jones has been pretty inconsistent this year. 466 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,479 Speaker 1: In two meetings with the Bears last year, he put 467 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: up exactly eighty five yards, which is very solid. He 468 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: scored once they'll see a lot of Prince of Mukamara 469 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: was just the middle of the road cornerback B grade 470 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: and Marvin Jones C grade, and Kenny Golladay. In two 471 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: games against Chicago last year, he caught six passes. Yeah, 472 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: Colladay runs most of his routes from Kyle Fuller's side 473 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: of the field, and that's not good. In five of 474 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: the past six games, receivers have not topped forty one 475 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: yards in Kyle Fuller's coverage. Only one has scored in 476 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: the past six games. Kenny Golladay is just a C 477 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: grade start. Going to the running game, carry On Johnson 478 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: last week's out and was the first time Johnson was 479 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: held under five yards per carry when he got among 480 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: games of which got at least double digit rush attempts. 481 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: The Bears have been very good against the run, especially 482 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: the last two weeks without Khalil Mack who returns here. 483 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: Isaiah Crowell Lashawn McCoy combined for thirty five rushing yards 484 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,959 Speaker 1: against the Bears. That's it. Tough matchup for carry On Johnson. 485 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: Maybe chips in some help through the air. I've got 486 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 1: a C grade on Carrie on Johnson and this one 487 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 1: and theoretic on the bench. Bears are allowing the fifth 488 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: fewest running backyards through the air, and only James White 489 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: is topped even thirty yards through the air against Chicago 490 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: all season long. Let's go to the bear side game 491 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: gets a lot more promising because the one really good 492 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: cornerback the Lions have, Darius Slay, is not going to 493 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: play in this game. So as I look at Mr Biscuit, first, 494 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: I looked at last week's game, and he barely even 495 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 1: passed because it was Buffalo and they got to an 496 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: early lead and they just ran the ball. But here's 497 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: the problem for this week. That's exactly what teams are 498 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: doing to the Lions. Detroit seeing the fewest passes per game, 499 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: just twenty eight, and over the past two weeks, Kirk 500 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: Cousins and Russell Wilson through just twenty two and seventeen 501 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: passes against the Lions. It's hard to roll up decent 502 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: fantasy stats if the volume just isn't there. And that's 503 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: why I've only got to be great and Mitch Drabinsky, 504 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: even with Darius Slay out, Let's go to the receivers. 505 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel is a b start for me I Adams 506 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: to see until they ruled out Darius Slay. Strong speed 507 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: advantage over All, the rest of the Lion's corners. Gabriel 508 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: is very fast, and Slay is the fast corner they've got. 509 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: In fact, these Canna have matchups against the iron footed 510 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: Tease Tabor, something called Tease Tabor, who might be the 511 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: slowest corner in the lead league. He is a four 512 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: six seven forty yard dash corner. You almost never even 513 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: see that. Incidentally, if he has an iron foot, maybe 514 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: we should try him at kicker that they might want to. 515 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: I like Taylor Gabriel, be start on, be great on him. 516 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 1: Allen Robinson expected to come back for this game. I 517 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: still prefer Gabriel because of that speed had manage. But 518 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: Robinson's also startable in this matchup with a C grade. Again, 519 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: Darius lay Out helps him too. And then let's go 520 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: last part of the passing game for the Bears. Trey 521 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: Burton has scored in five of the past seven games. 522 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: Lions are middle of the pack tight end defense that's 523 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: allowed touchdowns to the likes of Garrett Selleck, Jeff Swain, 524 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,479 Speaker 1: Lance Kendricks, and Ed Dixon. If those tight ends can 525 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: score touchdowns against the Lions, so ken Trey Burton also 526 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: a B start. Now let's look at the running backs 527 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 1: for Chicago. Jordan Howard. Nearly half of his rushing yards 528 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 1: have come in the fourth quarter in overtime, and that 529 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: plays well if you believe the Bears will be running 530 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: out the clock against the Lions this week, which I 531 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: think they probably will. Now it's a little unfair, but 532 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: aside from Dalvin Cook's seventy one yard dash, since the 533 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: Lions got Snacks Harrison, all the rest of their runs 534 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: they're giving up three point three yards per carry. That's it. Now, 535 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: keep in mind this was a Lions defense that was 536 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: giving up six yards per carry before Snacks Harrison. So 537 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: again it's a little unfair to take Dalvin Cook's run away, 538 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: but if you do, they're they're double as effective as 539 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: a run defense. Jordan Howard has a B grade Trek Cohen. 540 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: From weeks fourth through seven, Cohen was rocking it with 541 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: seven or more receptions during those three games, and then 542 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: he's had three or fewer receptions in the other five games, 543 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: included the last two games in which he's had just 544 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: two catches, and then his rushing members just haven't been there. 545 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: The usage has been very peculiar for him. Um lines 546 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: are middle of the pack against receiving running backs, so 547 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: I've got Tree Cohen as a C grade for this 548 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: game because the usage just hasn't been there lately, and 549 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: I can't be sure that he's gonna get rushes or 550 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: receptions anymore. It might be the first game in a 551 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,959 Speaker 1: long time I've had Tree Cohen ahead of Jordan Howard. 552 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: When we come back, plenty more matchups to get to, 553 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: including Falcons Brown's. Matt already told you a couple of 554 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: guys that he likes for that game. Will tell you 555 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: if there's an anybody on the Falcons you don't want 556 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: to start well. Tavin Coleman scored twice again. Find out 557 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: when we come back this afternoon at two thirties. The 558 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: Minnesota Gopher his host for two on FM one three. 559 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: The fans a greater Twin Cities Onto Dealers are proud 560 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: sub orders of Gopher Athletics on Higheart Radio. Welcome back 561 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: to the show Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. Paul 562 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: Church and Scott Fish Matt Harrison with you. We've got 563 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: a bunch of matchups to get to, including a potential 564 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: point orgy Falcons Browns. I mean, you don't think of 565 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: the Browns as being a part of a high scoring game. 566 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: But I think they can be year under. Yeah, how 567 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: about that. I love all virtually everybody on the Falcons. 568 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: Let's uh, where do you want to start? Matt Ryan? Sure, 569 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: let's talk about Matt Ryan. He's my number three quarterback 570 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: this week. Love them. I gave him an A grade. 571 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: Each of the last six quarterbacks to face the Browns 572 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: have either had two or more yards or multiple touchdown passes, 573 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: and I think Matt Ryan can do both this week. 574 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: Um Julio Jones obvious a he scored last week, faces 575 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: a banged up Denzel Ward. I'm not scared of a 576 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: banged up Denzel Ward. Calvin Ridley and Mohammed Sanu are 577 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: even plays. There are Sea grades. Damarius Randall and e J. 578 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: Gaines are both also hurt members of the Cleveland secondary. 579 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna go making. Ridley and Snow 580 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: both very viable and this I think Ridley could be 581 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: sitting on a great game. Yeah. Austin Hooper, I'm giving 582 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: a tepid Sea grade too, because there's a lot of 583 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: tight ends out this week. Travis Kelsey and Jared Cook 584 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: each top nine yards and scored twice against Cleveland, but 585 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: no other tight end has done anything against them, so 586 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: it's no scores besides those two players the rest of 587 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: the season. So Hooper, I'm I'm very tentative on I 588 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: already talked about Edo Smiths might take a chance on 589 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: me runner, and for very much the same reason. I 590 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: like Tevin Coleman a lot this week. Although he split 591 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: and carries, he gets about a C plus grade B 592 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: minus somewhere in there. That's about where Edo Smith is. 593 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: I already talked about how bad the Browns run defenses, 594 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: So let's go over to the other side. Baker Mayfield 595 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: might take a chance on the quarterback, who, by the way, 596 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: is available in sixty of ESPN leagues. I think you 597 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: have mostly roster six available, all right, you can pick 598 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: him up. Jarvis Landry is in a grade. In the 599 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: last two games, the Falcons have allowed almost five hundred 600 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: receiving yards to opposing wide receivers. This includes a hundred 601 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: and twenty four yards to the slot receiver Maurice Harris, 602 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty seven yards to the slot receiver 603 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd. Jarvis Landry sitting on a huge game and 604 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: he's been super frustrating, and I know people are hesitant 605 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: to put him in lineups. But for the law of God, 606 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: this week do it if if not now win h 607 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: Brishad Pereman was might take a chance on me wide receiver. 608 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: I'm not in on the other Brown's wide receiver's callaway 609 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: or any of the other guys. And David and Joku. 610 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: He gets a C grade and Joku is topped. Fifty 611 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: yards are scored in five of Mayfield six starts, but 612 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: that sixth game was the goose egg in the awesome matchups. 613 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: Similar to this, the Falcons have or did allow last 614 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: week nine catches for ninety six yards to the Washington 615 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: tight ends. So in Jocus in a good spot and 616 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: Joku's got knee and rib injuries right now, and there's 617 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: a game time decision. You want to watch his status. Yeah, 618 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: he might be more out than in um. Moving on 619 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: Duke Johnson A grade. Atlanta hasn't been able to stop 620 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: pass catching running back since the Carter administration. Falcons have 621 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: allowed the most receptions and third most receiving yards to 622 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: opposing backs. And I've already allowed catch totals of nine, 623 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: fourteen and fifteen two single opposing running backs already this year. 624 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: I wanted to use Duke Johnson as might take a 625 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: chance on me runner. You guys went I would have 626 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: last week, and that's so obvious. You can't use him anymore. Well, 627 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: and he's like owned in like seventy or eighty percent 628 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: of leagues now correct last week it was. It sounded 629 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: much much better on Monday, before all the waivers ran. 630 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: He was a viable to take a chance, and that's right. 631 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: But then everybody figured it out and then he wasn't. 632 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: Alex Spencer Worth noting that Duke led all NFL running 633 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: backs in sten and seventeen in yards per touch, something 634 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson evidently forgot along the way. Freddie Kitchens hasn't though, 635 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 1: and Nick Chubb he gets a B grade two. Atlanta 636 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: is allowing four point three yards per carry this season, 637 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: and Chubb's carry toll just keeps going up, at twenty 638 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 1: three carries last week, so he's a good play as well. 639 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 1: Patriots take on the Titans Scott No, Rob Gronkowski. When 640 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: you look at the inconsistent production, fantasy production we're getting 641 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,439 Speaker 1: from Tom Brady, Look at Gronk. He hasn't scored since 642 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: whatever Week three or something. And here's Tom Brady who's 643 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, roughly quarterback fourteen in your league, right And 644 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: I think it's fair and that's probably where I have 645 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 1: about this week. I give him a B grade. The 646 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: Titans are top ten for passing yards allowed, but five 647 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: of those eight quarterbacks had multiple touchdowns and Brady over 648 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: the last six games his top two hundred seventy yards 649 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: in all of them, and he's averaging over two touchdowns 650 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: per game in that span. I think he's got a 651 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 1: pretty safe floor. That's why I like him as a 652 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: B grade. Obviously, gronks out, so I got a grade 653 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: on Gordon. Gordon finally broke out last week. Tom Brady 654 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: had some really nice stuff to say about him this 655 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: week about coming into early, staying lad, etcetera. A hundred 656 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: thirty yards and a touchdown on ten targets last week. 657 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,720 Speaker 1: Since Joini New England, he's averaging eighteen yards per catch, 658 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: and over the last four weeks he's averaging eight targets 659 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: per game, four and a half catches and playing over 660 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: of the snaps. This is a Malcolm Butler revenge game. 661 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: He'll likely be on Gordon, but Butler has been terrible 662 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: this year. I I love that matchup for Gordon, and 663 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: I think I don't think Belichick needs to explain why 664 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: Butler was benched in the Super Bowl anymore based on race. 665 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: He's been really bad. I gave Edelman a B grade. 666 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 1: He's averaging nine targets per game and volume miss king. 667 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: With gronkout, he's probably gonna get even more middle of 668 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: the middle of the field work. Um. That alone has 669 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 1: propelled him to four of his last five games, or 670 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: four of his five games this season over fifty yards 671 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: and he's averaging five catches per game in those uh 672 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: and I saw it B grade there. James White, He's 673 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,839 Speaker 1: a back. I like to give an A grade every 674 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 1: week too. Pretty much. The Titans are great against pass 675 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: catching running backs. But I think this is one of 676 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,240 Speaker 1: those spots where White will overcome how great the Titans 677 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: had been against pass catching running backs. He's He's had 678 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,240 Speaker 1: at least seven catches and three the last five games. 679 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: I can see that easily happening here. Michelle questionable. I'm 680 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: a little hesitant, but I think games script could get 681 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,360 Speaker 1: them ahead. He could, he could get some good play. 682 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 1: I have him with a C grade here. The Titans 683 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: are allowing just three point three yards per carry over 684 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 1: the last five weeks and just one running back to 685 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: rush over seventy yards. But Michelle gets the starting role. 686 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: He's had really good games, lots of usage, lots of 687 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: good games. Yeah, so if if he's good enough to go, 688 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,280 Speaker 1: I give him a starting grade. Uh. On the other side, 689 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: it's one of those weird weeks where I I kind 690 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: of like the streaming quarterback, the naked Mariotta out there 691 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 1: in DFS. I like playing Mariota, but I don't like 692 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 1: most of his most of his team. I think it's 693 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,439 Speaker 1: going to be spread around. Davis is the obvious guy 694 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 1: to get a grade, but I don't have a starting 695 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: grade on him. I have him just barely making a 696 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 1: bench grade. H. I can see a C grade, but 697 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: he's going to be shadowed by Stefan Gilmour, who last 698 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: week and the third quarter switched over and shadowed your 699 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: take on from last week MBS about MVS as well. Yeah, 700 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: I had a good take a chance on the week Marquez. 701 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: I should mention Marquez Valdes Scalding. Scantling did not have 702 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 1: another catch after Gilmore switched over about that, so Belichick 703 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: obviously realized needs stop him and he's gonna use Gilmore 704 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,320 Speaker 1: to try to stop Davis. That's why I don't like him. 705 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't like John u even though he was a 706 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 1: great we We called that as a great uh pivot 707 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 1: from Gronk next last week and Johnah scored a touchdown, 708 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,240 Speaker 1: but I had him on the bench. I have Derrick 709 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: Henry on the bench because he's a backup. Now he's 710 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 1: a clear back up, the clear backup. I do give 711 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: Lewis a B grade. For five straight weeks, back has 712 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 1: had fourteen or more touches against the Pats, every one 713 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: of them topped eighty yards, and in the last two weeks, 714 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: Lewis is averaging nineteen touches per game and top two 715 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,240 Speaker 1: d total yards in both So be grade for Lewis 716 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,800 Speaker 1: not bad. Um. Dan Lewis could be and their schedules 717 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 1: pretty easy the rest of the way. Dan Lewis could 718 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: be a sneaky guy that a league winner two years 719 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: in a row. Yeah, how about that? Maybe three? You've 720 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: probably forgotten and I don't blame you, listeners. Patriots Titans 721 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: is a rematch from the playoffs last year. Who remembers 722 00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 1: that I remember the Titans beating the Chief send that 723 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 1: weird game. It was just a buy after that. I 724 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 1: think for the Patriot it really was. Thirty five to 725 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: fourteen was the final score of that game. And Brady 726 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: rolled up three touchdowns in that one, didn't The Patriots 727 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: played the Tennessee Titans in that freak blizzard. It warm, yeah, 728 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: like fifty nine nothing, and everybody pulled all their players 729 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: because it was crazy snowing, and if you pulled your Titans, 730 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,359 Speaker 1: you were exactly right. And then all the then they 731 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 1: put up like I think it was fifty nine. I 732 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: think it was nothing. I believe hold on, I'm scrolling here. 733 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: It is right here. Could it have been October eighteenth though, 734 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 1: of two thousand nine? Was there really a blizzard in 735 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: October eighteenth of two thousand nine? And look outside? Tom 736 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: Brady six touchdown passes in that game? How about geez? 737 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: That's uh, that turned out well for them. Let's go 738 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: to the phones for a minute. We'll work in a 739 00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:02,399 Speaker 1: few collars. Ben, Hello, good morning all again. Did your call? Yeah, 740 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be kind of a pay in the rump. 741 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: It's definitely non PPR. You're if you can pick my 742 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 1: running backs, my flex position, I have the Browns running 743 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: backs and and Zeke. Otherwise than for Flex Ridley and 744 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: Tyrell Williams. I think Ridley has to be in Calvin Ridley. 745 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley has to be in my number eight receiver 746 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: this week. And you have both Brown's running backs and Zeke. 747 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: And here's the funny thing. This is Zeke's toughest matchup 748 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: of the Citizens. It's not this is not it's not 749 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: obvious that Zeke has to go in. Now that said, 750 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: it's standard scoring. Yeah, so if it's standard scoring, I 751 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: think we're leaving Duke Johnson on the bench unfortunately. Yeah, 752 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: if you're getting nothing for receptions, I think Duke's at 753 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: the odd man out, Okay. And then if I can 754 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: do in my league, it's touchdown heavy non PBR. And 755 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:02,399 Speaker 1: that's just um two of two of these four Chub 756 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 1: and Zeke and Ridley and Edelman, it's almost the exact 757 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: same lineup. Yeahs run, I think Edelman's out. You got 758 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: three guys score touchdowns and Aleman generally doesn't. Yeah, I 759 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 1: think I think that's what I do. Thanks, Ben, appreciate it. 760 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: Ben is from Milwaukee and presumably listening at Cafe and 761 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 1: dot com or on the heart radio app, and you 762 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: could do that as well. If you are streaming abroad, 763 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: we encourage you to check both of those out when 764 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:35,280 Speaker 1: we come back. Three hot questions for our panel of experts. 765 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: Well that's Matt Scott.

I mean that's 769 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: I think it's a little ambiguous, all right, to plus 770 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: the listeners, you're saying we're not a panel, but we're 771 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 1: still experts.

Many thanks to our friends 799 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 1: at the Brewery, Shawn Ryan and Brett Moss and Lee 800 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: Wendinger and the owners Ted and Jody Marty and Dave Wilson, 801 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 1: general manager at Manny's delicious. Let's uh, let's dive in 802 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: hot question number one. In many leagues, the trade deadline 803 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,880 Speaker 1: is happening very soon, if not in the next twenty 804 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 1: four hours. Should teams that are mathematically eliminated from the 805 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 1: playoffs be allowed to trade Scott? Absolutely, They have every 806 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 1: right to play spoiler. They have every right to play 807 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 1: within their in within the rules, to try to win 808 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,480 Speaker 1: their games, try to play their best. Uh. Leagues have 809 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,800 Speaker 1: rules against collusion, and if there's collusion, you reverse the trade. 810 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 1: That's really the only thing you're worried about in this 811 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 1: in this scenario here, Um, I know some leagues have 812 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 1: rules about mathematically eliminated teams, but if there's no rule, yeah, 813 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,240 Speaker 1: absolutely you should be able to trade. Yeah. To add 814 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 1: to that, fantasy is supposed to be fun and fantasy leagues, 815 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,719 Speaker 1: it's your job, leagues and commissioners, to devise ways to 816 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 1: keep the losers of your league engaged in the league. 817 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 1: Like one of one of our co workers at Fanball, 818 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,279 Speaker 1: his league requires the loser of the league to take 819 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 1: the s A T s and report it, report the scores, 820 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 1: Like you don't want to be the last place guy, 821 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,439 Speaker 1: so you want something to play for So I think 822 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,800 Speaker 1: that it's it's our job to make sure that everybody 823 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 1: keeps playing. So yeah, they can trade all that and more. 824 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 1: I'm shocked and how many leagues are like this where 825 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,280 Speaker 1: you know they don't they're so worried about this specter 826 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:08,239 Speaker 1: of collusion that freaking happen. It's so rare. People get 827 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,400 Speaker 1: all worked up about bad teams making trades with good teams. 828 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,920 Speaker 1: Let it happen. It's just, you know, that's it's you 829 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: get to do that. That's part of the enjoyment of 830 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 1: the league. And I hate these leagues to try to 831 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 1: try to govern trades worst. And it's usually the commissioners 832 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,840 Speaker 1: usually problem number one, because that guy is on a 833 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:31,439 Speaker 1: power trader decided what's best for the league. So yes, 834 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 1: it is teams that are mathematically ELIMINATEDUNS Like, you're really 835 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,799 Speaker 1: angry at commissioners, you know, because on Twitter, I keep 836 00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,359 Speaker 1: getting this stuff. I gotta step in. I gotta step 837 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 1: in on this trade. This team is one and seven 838 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,359 Speaker 1: and they're giving up their best player, and no, you don't. 839 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,640 Speaker 1: They give up your best player to try to build 840 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: a roster that can get to the playoffs. Come on, 841 00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:01,440 Speaker 1: question number two, lady, I bella here's likely to report 842 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:05,319 Speaker 1: next week, and James Connor is in the Concussion protocol. 843 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:15,320 Speaker 1: Considering Bell's likely cost of acquisition, are you buying Matt? Yeah? 844 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,719 Speaker 1: That Connor and the concussion protocol thing. It makes it 845 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 1: interesting like somebody left the gate open right there. I 846 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 1: want to know what the likely cost to acquire him, 847 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 1: if it's if it's those RB two guys like Jordan 848 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,360 Speaker 1: Howard or Kevin Coleman. I think it's RB two is 849 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 1: what it'll cost. That's clarify that into the question. That's 850 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,400 Speaker 1: what I would try to acquire Levy on Bell four. Now, 851 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 1: note you can't acquire him from an owner that has 852 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 1: both Bell and Connor. You can only acquire him from 853 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,839 Speaker 1: an owner that just has Bell, So you're not gonna 854 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:49,799 Speaker 1: be able to get him in any other way. I 855 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,359 Speaker 1: think so yes is you're giving yes? Is the yeah. 856 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,600 Speaker 1: I would definitely try your yes, Scott, I would say 857 00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 1: you should. You could try, but I don't think you're 858 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,320 Speaker 1: gonna get it. I think that's him is past past 859 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 1: for people trying to get that bargain, because people now 860 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 1: know he is reporting and now no, he's in the 861 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: concussion Connors in the concussion protocol. I don't think you're 862 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 1: gonna get the trade you want to. Uh so, I 863 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,400 Speaker 1: guess my answer is, yes, you should try, but I 864 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 1: don't think you're going to get it. Correct answers, No, 865 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 1: here's your best case scenario. So your best case scenario 866 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 1: looks like this. Ideally, for a belt Connor misses this 867 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 1: week with the concussion protocol, they immediately inject Bell in 868 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,200 Speaker 1: on just a couple of days. Right, we think he's 869 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 1: likely report like Tuesday of next week, so they on 870 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 1: a handful of days, they're immediately inject him into the lineup. 871 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 1: And he's awesome. He's so good and so much better 872 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 1: than Connor that there's no debate going forward who the 873 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 1: best running back is. And the Steelers decided to play 874 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 1: Bell the rest of the year. That's what you're really 875 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,240 Speaker 1: hoping for, is a best case scenario. Also, their mindset 876 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,239 Speaker 1: is that they're gonna run the wheels off Bell because 877 00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,839 Speaker 1: they're not keeping him next year. There I that's that's 878 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 1: a possible. It's there are people that want to believe 879 00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: that is the best part of the best case scenario. 880 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 1: But let's look at the more realistic scenarios like Connor's 881 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,719 Speaker 1: got ten days between games. In all probability, he's gonna 882 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 1: be well out of the concussion protocol and he's your 883 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 1: starter next week. But even then, in a second more 884 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:24,560 Speaker 1: probable scenario than the best case scenario, Connor misses maybe 885 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,440 Speaker 1: a game. Bell gets some action because he's only been 886 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 1: on the team for a handful of days, and he 887 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 1: doesn't get a workhorse. Vers does not get workhorse number 888 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 1: of carries um he gets maybe I don't know half 889 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,240 Speaker 1: the carries or something, or the carries and he looks fine, 890 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,800 Speaker 1: but he doesn't look any better than Connor, and Connors 891 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:45,240 Speaker 1: looked great, And nobody in that side that organization hates Connor. 892 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 1: They'll love Connor. What's not to like about the local 893 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,760 Speaker 1: kid who beat cancer and has been in every measurable 894 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:54,840 Speaker 1: way better than Levy On Bell, if you're going to 895 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,000 Speaker 1: have to give up a guy that you would start 896 00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,479 Speaker 1: as your second running back, I need way, way more 897 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 1: probability of success than just this pipe dream best case. 898 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:05,879 Speaker 1: There are a lot of really bad second running backs 899 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:12,759 Speaker 1: on TEA hot question number three should playoff bound fantasy 900 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 1: teams burn a roster spot on Rex Burkhead, who's eligible 901 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 1: to come off. I are in week number thirteen, Scott. Sure, 902 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 1: if it's your last roster spot, sure, why not dash him? Uh? 903 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 1: The old trope is the Patriots run the ball a 904 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 1: ton more at the end of the season. I've never 905 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,239 Speaker 1: really looked into the data on that until now. In 906 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:37,480 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, weeks one through twelve, the average running back 907 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:41,120 Speaker 1: touches per game after week twelve thirty eight point five 908 00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 1: thirteen more touches per game in December games Uh, weeks 909 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,640 Speaker 1: thir team through seven tied roughly. Yes, all right, Thanksgiving, 910 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:54,600 Speaker 1: Thanks Thanksgiving Forward. In seventeen that same that same area 911 00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,960 Speaker 1: one through twelve, thirty three touches per game Week thirteen 912 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 1: and on forty one touches per game, they go eight 913 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,880 Speaker 1: to thirteen more running back touches per game in the 914 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,160 Speaker 1: last month and a half of the season. Okay, so 915 00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 1: I'm going, yes, dash it, just in case you never know. 916 00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 1: For all of that and more. Rex Burkhead is the 917 00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:17,600 Speaker 1: red Savina Habanero of three hot questions. That's five hundred 918 00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,879 Speaker 1: thousands Scoville heating units. That's a lot. Yeah, I think 919 00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 1: I think you should definitely pick him up. He's never 920 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,200 Speaker 1: played more than twelve games in a season in his 921 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,400 Speaker 1: five year career though, and it's it's worth noting that 922 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 1: he did play eight straight games last year, but he 923 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 1: did miss Week sixteen, seventeen and their Divisional round playoff 924 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,839 Speaker 1: game before coming back in the conference championship in Super Bowl. 925 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 1: So while you're gonna put him on your roster, he's 926 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 1: gonna get dinged up again. Here's my When I wrote 927 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,360 Speaker 1: the question out, my assumption is, well, yes, let's you know, 928 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 1: I want I want a part of the Patriots running backs. 929 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,759 Speaker 1: But then I started looking into the schedule and what 930 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,319 Speaker 1: I will be saying to you Thanksgiving week. For Week 931 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,120 Speaker 1: thirteen against Minnesota, I think he gets a bench grade, 932 00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 1: presumably under the assumption Sony Michelle is the team. He's 933 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,279 Speaker 1: he's healthy, He's gonna be behind Michelle, and you're really 934 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,400 Speaker 1: you're you're hoping. You chips in a few receptions and 935 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,359 Speaker 1: gets a few carries against the Vikings. Don't like it. 936 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 1: Week fourteen, I think he gets like a Rex Burkhead 937 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 1: gets like a C grade against Miami. They're easy to 938 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:15,920 Speaker 1: run on, but Michelle is gonna get all the first 939 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 1: runs at this thing. Um. And then I get to 940 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,960 Speaker 1: Week fifteen at Pittsburgh. Maybe a C grade here, but 941 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,799 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's the top five run back running back defense through 942 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,360 Speaker 1: the air and on the ground, so we might be 943 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 1: a bench guy there too. Then I'm Week sixteen against 944 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:33,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo maybe a C grade. When those teams met in 945 00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,279 Speaker 1: week eight, Cordell Patterson only got who was a leading 946 00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,000 Speaker 1: running back with thirty eight yards um. Buffalo is actually 947 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,560 Speaker 1: a really pretty good run defense. I don't so I 948 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,839 Speaker 1: think we're looking at all bench and C grades from 949 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:48,319 Speaker 1: Rex burkehead unless somebody gets hurt, well Michelle or White 950 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,200 Speaker 1: gets hurt, and White never does. But if Michelle gets 951 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 1: which is very possible, now everything changes, the whole script flips, 952 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:55,440 Speaker 1: and now he's an A and B guy most of 953 00:51:55,440 --> 00:52:00,920 Speaker 1: those weeks. Yeah, yeah, I think that you have to 954 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,399 Speaker 1: look at the Patriots running back angle. As they get hurt, 955 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,400 Speaker 1: they cycle through guys, they go hot hands sometimes, and 956 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,080 Speaker 1: you just try to get a piece of it. If 957 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,840 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season people were avoiding James 958 00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 1: White because he looked like he was third or fourth 959 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,440 Speaker 1: on the depth chart, there, they're pretty happy having James White. 960 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 1: Now you just get a piece or two of the 961 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,200 Speaker 1: Patriots running back stick it on the bench and see 962 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,080 Speaker 1: what happens. Um I do have yes, because it is 963 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:27,960 Speaker 1: only it only does cost you the last spot on 964 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,120 Speaker 1: your bench. And Sony Michelle's hurt a lot. If they 965 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,279 Speaker 1: they had they had a had a more solid running back, 966 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,120 Speaker 1: this would be a different story. But it's not. I 967 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:37,919 Speaker 1: don't think Rex Spurkhad is going to be the guy 968 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 1: that that runs you to a championship. Barring injury. Washington 969 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 1: takes on the Buccaneers. Hang on, I gotta flip pages. 970 00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,799 Speaker 1: Here's the thing you have to know about Washington and 971 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 1: why you should be trading away Adrian Peterson. Now. Their 972 00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,480 Speaker 1: star left tackle Trent Williams is gonna miss UH at 973 00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 1: least two more weeks and maybe three more weeks after 974 00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,560 Speaker 1: thumb sir jury. Both of their guards done for the year. 975 00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,960 Speaker 1: They went on i R This week. They're right tackle 976 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,600 Speaker 1: Morgan Moses may not play because he's got a sprained 977 00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,040 Speaker 1: MCL he had to leave last week's game. They could 978 00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,880 Speaker 1: very well be short four of five running back as 979 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:18,520 Speaker 1: offensive lineman this week and going forward for the next month, 980 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,320 Speaker 1: they could be. They will be short three for sure, 981 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:23,839 Speaker 1: and then only at the bitter end are they only 982 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,719 Speaker 1: short two starting offensive lineman not to mention the end 983 00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:30,200 Speaker 1: this season. Dallas, Philly, Jacksonville, Tennessee in Philadelphia, it's a 984 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:34,600 Speaker 1: great time to divest in Adrian Peterson for to somebody 985 00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,719 Speaker 1: who doesn't pay attention to offensive lineman, like a lot 986 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,959 Speaker 1: of people, don't look at what Adrian did last week 987 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:43,279 Speaker 1: when these linemen went down nothing. All right, let's jump 988 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,000 Speaker 1: into the matchup more directly now, knowing that the offensive 989 00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,000 Speaker 1: line is going to be a huge problem. Alex Smith 990 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,960 Speaker 1: just a sea level start, easiest matchup of his season, 991 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,160 Speaker 1: But I just think the offensive line makes him a 992 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,200 Speaker 1: dicey start here. Tampa's allowed multiple passing touchdowns to every 993 00:53:56,239 --> 00:54:00,520 Speaker 1: non Nick Foles quarterback they've faced. I wish, I wish 994 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 1: Smith had better receivers. I wish that he had a 995 00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,560 Speaker 1: better offensive line. But maybe Jordan Reid will help, and 996 00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:07,960 Speaker 1: Maurice Harris was might take a chance on the wide receiver. 997 00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,040 Speaker 1: And I do think he's a sneaky start, even with 998 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:14,279 Speaker 1: the offensive line woes. Jordan read a grade because I 999 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 1: see a lot of fast dump offs coming from Alex 1000 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,319 Speaker 1: Smith and that could reasonly that could fit the tight 1001 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,400 Speaker 1: end position anyway. And Tampa Bay is allowed to tighten touchdown. 1002 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,799 Speaker 1: In five of the last six games. They've given up 1003 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,200 Speaker 1: the second most fantasy points to tight ends, so a 1004 00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,680 Speaker 1: nice start opportunity for Jordan. Read Also, they allow so 1005 00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:35,400 Speaker 1: many yards to slot and and tight positions, which inside inside, 1006 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:39,719 Speaker 1: and that's where Jordan where you play sent snaps. Very nice. Uh, 1007 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,319 Speaker 1: let's go to the running backs. By the way, Paul 1008 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:42,840 Speaker 1: Richardson went on, I r if you missed that, you 1009 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,000 Speaker 1: can drop him out right to go to the running back. 1010 00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,799 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson's justice. See with the disastrous offensive line, he's 1011 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,719 Speaker 1: a runner who can't make his own running lanes. The 1012 00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,279 Speaker 1: Buccaneers have a lot of fourteen touchdowns to running backs, though, 1013 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,520 Speaker 1: so you're banking on a short touchdown to salvage Adrian's day. 1014 00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,040 Speaker 1: And that's why he gets a seat and not a 1015 00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,400 Speaker 1: bench grade. Um Vernon Davis is an actual If you 1016 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,279 Speaker 1: are in a pinch at tight end like you've got 1017 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,000 Speaker 1: gron and he looks like he's gonna miss another game, 1018 00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,799 Speaker 1: Vernon Davis saw a season high seven targets and five 1019 00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 1: catches last week against Atlanta. As I mentioned earlier, Tampa 1020 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,360 Speaker 1: dreadful against the tight end position. I've got a C 1021 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:18,640 Speaker 1: grade on on Vernon Davis. Let's go to the Tampa side. 1022 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 1: A grade for my guy Stubird, Ryan Fitzpatrick. His average 1023 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:28,480 Speaker 1: full game this year for Ryan Fitzpatrick a mind bending 1024 00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:33,600 Speaker 1: three hundred seventy yards and three point eight touchdown passes 1025 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 1: per game in his full games. The Redskins secondary is 1026 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,360 Speaker 1: a lot of passing touchdowns in every game since the opener, 1027 00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,600 Speaker 1: and last week Matt Ryan just toyed with Josh Norman 1028 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:46,280 Speaker 1: and Fabian Moreau cornerbacks for the Redskins, scoring four times 1029 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,960 Speaker 1: in that game. Every good pass or to face the 1030 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 1: Redskins is throwing multiple touchdowns. Ryan Fitzpatrick will too. Mike 1031 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,799 Speaker 1: Evans is an obvious a. I know he inexplicably only 1032 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,960 Speaker 1: caught one pass on ten targets last week, but he 1033 00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,400 Speaker 1: bounces back just fine. Here. The Redskins have allowed an 1034 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,280 Speaker 1: average of seven catches for nineties six yards to number 1035 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:09,400 Speaker 1: one receivers. Let's go to Deshan Jackson. The downfield speed 1036 00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,920 Speaker 1: that he's got perfect for Fitzpatrick and his bombs away 1037 00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,360 Speaker 1: passing style. Josh Norman only plays one side of the field, 1038 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 1: so the Bucks can isolate Jackson against the slumping Josh 1039 00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:24,279 Speaker 1: Norman and utilize Jackson's massive speed advantage over Norman. I 1040 00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 1: like Deshan Jackson and this one b great for him. 1041 00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:30,560 Speaker 1: Adam Humphries back to back really good games was Stu 1042 00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 1: Beard and he gets a matchup against Redskins slot corner 1043 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,480 Speaker 1: Fabian Moreau, who is slumping, allowing completions on twenty of 1044 00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:41,400 Speaker 1: the last twenty three passes in Fabian Moreau's coverage, including 1045 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:47,239 Speaker 1: a touchdown last week. Adam Humphries C grade and that's 1046 00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,080 Speaker 1: it for the O. J. Howard. I gotta mention him. 1047 00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:50,960 Speaker 1: No tight end has gone over forty five yards against 1048 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,799 Speaker 1: the Redskins this season, but Howard is top fifty three 1049 00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:57,200 Speaker 1: yards and all seven full games he has played. Howard 1050 00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,760 Speaker 1: has also scored four times in his last four games. 1051 00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,960 Speaker 1: Will definitely start O. J. Howard. He gets a B 1052 00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,320 Speaker 1: grade at the tight end position. For the running running backs, UM, 1053 00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:09,400 Speaker 1: we're on the bench. Peyton Barber broadly performing okay against 1054 00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:12,399 Speaker 1: bad defenses, struggling with good ones. The Redskins are pretty 1055 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,400 Speaker 1: good run defense and occasionally they're an awesome run defense. 1056 00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 1: He's top thirteen touches. Peyton Barber has just once since 1057 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,120 Speaker 1: Week two. He's only scored one time all year. We're 1058 00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:26,280 Speaker 1: gonna put Peyton Barber on the bench. How we doing 1059 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 1: for time? We can work? Maybe we can work in 1060 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 1: one more matchup because it's Jags Colts. There can't be 1061 00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,240 Speaker 1: that much to talk about Ken there. Yeah, maybe that 1062 00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,880 Speaker 1: kind of Leonard Fournette gets a see Carlos Hyde and 1063 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 1: t J. Elden are on the bench, though, the risk 1064 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,960 Speaker 1: of aggravating that hamstring injury during the game is the 1065 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,680 Speaker 1: scariest proposition here. Still, the Cults have given up five 1066 00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 1: point nine yards per carried to the Bills and Raiders 1067 00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:47,880 Speaker 1: running backs over the last two weeks, and they're giving 1068 00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,320 Speaker 1: up a ton of them through the air to running 1069 00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,720 Speaker 1: backs to Jalen or shot at eight catches last week, 1070 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,200 Speaker 1: James White had ten A few games back. If I 1071 00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,560 Speaker 1: trusted the rotation where Yelden would be in play. But 1072 00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,560 Speaker 1: I don't trust the rotation at all. Right now, Blake 1073 00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,400 Speaker 1: Bortles is on the bench. In games where four net plays, 1074 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:07,880 Speaker 1: Bordles is averaging forty fewer passing yards per game, which 1075 00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,800 Speaker 1: brings the passing game to a screeching halt for the Jaguars, 1076 00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,400 Speaker 1: as does Blake Bortles. Yeah, that's true. Keelan Cole d D. 1077 00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:18,520 Speaker 1: Westbrook and uh, the Dante Moncrief revenge game is all 1078 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,400 Speaker 1: on the bench. Moncreefe actually leads the team in targets. 1079 00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:25,080 Speaker 1: So if you're absolutely forced to put a Jacksonville wide 1080 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 1: receiver in your lineup, it's Moncreef this week. But what 1081 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,520 Speaker 1: league forces you to play a Jaguars wide receiver? Not 1082 00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,600 Speaker 1: very many. On the other side, Marlon Mack, I'm giving 1083 00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,920 Speaker 1: a C grade two and he's really the only starting 1084 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:38,920 Speaker 1: grade I'm giving on Indie. If there's hope, it's the 1085 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,480 Speaker 1: run game. The Jags have allowed and average of a 1086 00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,440 Speaker 1: hundred and four rushing yards over their last four games 1087 00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,040 Speaker 1: and are basically giving up a touchdown per game to 1088 00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,400 Speaker 1: a lead back. Mac has six point two yards per 1089 00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,080 Speaker 1: carry over his last three games, and he's the first 1090 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,880 Speaker 1: Cult to run for back to back one hundred yard 1091 00:58:55,920 --> 00:59:00,439 Speaker 1: games since Josepha Die two thousand seven. That's going back. Yeah, 1092 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,800 Speaker 1: We're going always back. Um, So, I like Mac is 1093 00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:09,720 Speaker 1: a C grade Andrew Luck he's a C minus bench grade. Jags. Yeah, 1094 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,480 Speaker 1: Jags are only allowing two hundred six yards per game. 1095 00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,920 Speaker 1: That's the least in the NFL. Luck averages forty three 1096 00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:20,920 Speaker 1: passing attempts per game, but opposing quarterbacks are only averaging 1097 00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,360 Speaker 1: thirty against the Jags. I do worry about the drop 1098 00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,840 Speaker 1: in volume. That something's got to give. They're not giving 1099 00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,960 Speaker 1: up touchdowns. Everything's gonna have to be really short, and 1100 00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,360 Speaker 1: I think that Luck, even if he gets to his 1101 00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:35,000 Speaker 1: forty three attempts, he's looking at maybe two sixty and one. 1102 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, he comes into this game with 1103 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:40,480 Speaker 1: three or four touchdowns in five straight games, but he 1104 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:45,320 Speaker 1: ben grade Jacksonville. Well, I understand that you're just up 1105 00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,880 Speaker 1: in my conviction to bench Andrew Luck when he needs 1106 00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 1: to be benched. He just had this is the time 1107 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:51,400 Speaker 1: you just had like a four touchdown game a couple 1108 00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:56,200 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Um t Y Hilton's on the bench too. 1109 00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,360 Speaker 1: He played the last two weeks, but I'm not sure 1110 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,520 Speaker 1: he was fully healthy. He only had five catches in 1111 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:04,080 Speaker 1: fifty nine total yards and wins against Buffalo and Oakland. 1112 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:09,760 Speaker 1: He's only targeted nine times in those two games. Nine times, 1113 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:13,520 Speaker 1: and he probably draws the slam dunking Jalen Ramsey. Last 1114 01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:17,000 Speaker 1: year against Ramsey, when Hilton was fully healthy, to catches 1115 01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:20,040 Speaker 1: for twenty seven yards. Three catches for fifty one yards. 1116 01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,800 Speaker 1: Jack Doyle and Eric Ebron are on the bench as well. 1117 01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:24,760 Speaker 1: The Jags are allowing three and a half catches for 1118 01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:26,880 Speaker 1: forty one yards the tight end position. As a whole. 1119 01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,680 Speaker 1: They held Evan Engram and Gronk to under twenty yards. 1120 01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,440 Speaker 1: Kelsey and Arts were the only guys who did anything 1121 01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,240 Speaker 1: against the Jags. But Jack Doyle is not them, so 1122 01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:38,080 Speaker 1: they're on the bench too. I might buy t Y 1123 01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,520 Speaker 1: Hilton not low right. Nobody wants to start him against 1124 01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,600 Speaker 1: the Jaguars. He's done nothing as he's been working through 1125 01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,560 Speaker 1: this hamstring injury, but they just came up by and 1126 01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,680 Speaker 1: I want to believe the hamstring injuries better. Now, what's 1127 01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,000 Speaker 1: the rest of the season schedule on the Colts? Why 1128 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:51,760 Speaker 1: don't I tell you about the playoffs schedule for the 1129 01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:55,280 Speaker 1: Colts right now? At Houston, then Dallas and then the Giants. 1130 01:00:56,920 --> 01:01:00,880 Speaker 1: That's okay, okay, t Y Hilton. But t Y Hilton 1131 01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:03,080 Speaker 1: might be your wide receiver three and you can plug 1132 01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:05,160 Speaker 1: him in the right matchup there. I just think he's 1133 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,320 Speaker 1: cheap to buy right now. I might. I just always 1134 01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:09,240 Speaker 1: have the sense, you know, I always like to buy 1135 01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:12,720 Speaker 1: low on good players. T Y Hilton his values is low. 1136 01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 1: Was it's been in a long time, forever maybe for 1137 01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:17,920 Speaker 1: maybe forever. Anybody else in that matchup we've done. That's 1138 01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 1: it all right? I interrupted, So I wasn't sure when 1139 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:25,200 Speaker 1: we come back, Saints take on the Bengals. You know 1140 01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:28,080 Speaker 1: to start pretty much all your Saints. But what do 1141 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,640 Speaker 1: you do with Andy Dalton, Tyler boyd Ain't no A J. 1142 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:33,400 Speaker 1: Green in this one. We'll tell you when we come back. 1143 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:37,560 Speaker 1: This is Fantasy Football Weekly presented my green Bell Premium 1144 01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:51,200 Speaker 1: on the Van. Welcome back to the show Fantasy Football 1145 01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,400 Speaker 1: Weekly on the Fan. Paul Church and Scott Fish, Matt 1146 01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:56,920 Speaker 1: Harrison with you Saints teak on the Bengal. Scott and 1147 01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,320 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty obvious to start all your Saints 1148 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,520 Speaker 1: in this match up. I'm origin and what you have 1149 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,440 Speaker 1: to say about the Bengals, but you can start whichever 1150 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,800 Speaker 1: side of the matchup you prefer. Well, I'll just start 1151 01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:07,880 Speaker 1: with the same saying you're I mean, you're right. I 1152 01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:10,200 Speaker 1: have a grades on Breeze, Thomas and Kamara. I mean 1153 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,240 Speaker 1: the Bengals are bottom three against quarterbacks, running backs, watch 1154 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:17,160 Speaker 1: receivers and tight ends, so that makes it pretty easy. 1155 01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:19,960 Speaker 1: I did give Trey Kawon Smith a C grade. Like 1156 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,280 Speaker 1: him more than that really, well, he has a great matchup. 1157 01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,880 Speaker 1: He's only getting two to three catches per game, which 1158 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:29,000 Speaker 1: makes him risky, but uh and I don't maybe not 1159 01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:32,120 Speaker 1: in this game though, Yeah, this is I feel like 1160 01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,400 Speaker 1: he's a safer C grade than when I take homed 1161 01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:36,880 Speaker 1: him last week and he saved you with a touchdown. 1162 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,640 Speaker 1: Did I did give Ben Watson a C grade as well, 1163 01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:41,800 Speaker 1: just because it's a great matchup. He scored in two 1164 01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:43,919 Speaker 1: straight weeks and he has thirteen catches over the last 1165 01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:46,040 Speaker 1: three weeks, which surprised me. It didn't seem like he 1166 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,600 Speaker 1: would had Does Brian not torn as Achilles? I might 1167 01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,200 Speaker 1: have benched him, but I'll put Watson in there with 1168 01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,440 Speaker 1: a sea mark. Ingram I did give a B to 1169 01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:59,280 Speaker 1: uh He it's mostly his three point six yards per carry. 1170 01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,440 Speaker 1: Scare me be those de allowing five point four which 1171 01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:05,000 Speaker 1: is helpful. Um. Over the last five weeks, six running 1172 01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,480 Speaker 1: backs have had at least ten touches, five of them 1173 01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,320 Speaker 1: top eight yards. I think both of these guys are 1174 01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:12,040 Speaker 1: getting ten touches. Uh So, Ingram I gave a B. 1175 01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:15,760 Speaker 1: On the other side, Dalton I gave a B grade. Here. 1176 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:17,960 Speaker 1: It's got the highest over under. Dalton's gonna have to 1177 01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:21,520 Speaker 1: keep up. But he is without a J. Green um 1178 01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:26,040 Speaker 1: and over the last three games, the Saints are allowing 1179 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,560 Speaker 1: just on our three fifty passing yards and two point 1180 01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:31,040 Speaker 1: three touchdowns per games. So it made me really really 1181 01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,640 Speaker 1: want to go in on Dalton. But without a J. Green, 1182 01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 1: his numbers just his yards per attempt, in yards per 1183 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,720 Speaker 1: reception take So I'm I'm a little worried there, but 1184 01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:43,120 Speaker 1: he will be playing catchup Tyler Boyd. It's always it's 1185 01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,600 Speaker 1: always concerning what happens. We saw what happened with thelan 1186 01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:49,800 Speaker 1: with Diggs went out. Is Boyd? Don't think A J. Green? 1187 01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,760 Speaker 1: Is his injuries good for Boyd? It's not right, Yeah, 1188 01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,640 Speaker 1: it might not be, but you know it's good for 1189 01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:58,560 Speaker 1: Boyd going up against P. J. Williams. So he gets 1190 01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,120 Speaker 1: an a grade for me, But I'm not as confident 1191 01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,520 Speaker 1: as some of the other analysts out there. I want 1192 01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 1: to see how he handles being a number one receiver, 1193 01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:10,120 Speaker 1: although from the slot, presumably they'll keep him in the slot, yeah, 1194 01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:13,920 Speaker 1: presumably to move him when he had success he's had 1195 01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,840 Speaker 1: running from the slot. Exactly for me, Joe Mixon is 1196 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,680 Speaker 1: always a must start, but I tember my expectations here. 1197 01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:22,960 Speaker 1: Mixing is averaging just twelve touches per game and losses 1198 01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:27,040 Speaker 1: the Bengals are likely to fall behind. I still think 1199 01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:30,720 Speaker 1: he's very startable, especially with Geo likely out again. Uh, 1200 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,520 Speaker 1: he should get that passing game work. I still give 1201 01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:35,800 Speaker 1: him a B grade and Usama. Uh he Goreo sagged 1202 01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,480 Speaker 1: in a great matchup last week. I know that, but 1203 01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,760 Speaker 1: given the catchup, given a j Green out, I gave 1204 01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,840 Speaker 1: him a C grade. Just barely agreed. Back to Trey Kwon, 1205 01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,240 Speaker 1: look at listen to what speed receivers I'm actual rattle 1206 01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:52,160 Speaker 1: up all the stats. Speed receivers have crushed the Bengals 1207 01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 1: all year long. John Brown, Calvin Ridley, t Y Hilton, 1208 01:04:56,600 --> 01:05:00,640 Speaker 1: DeShawn Jackson just last week daggering the Bengals. I think, 1209 01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,680 Speaker 1: Trey Kwan, it's a good start. I gotta be great 1210 01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:04,760 Speaker 1: out By the way John Brown in this matchup, wasn't 1211 01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:09,520 Speaker 1: I take a chance on me? Well, let's let's get 1212 01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:14,240 Speaker 1: it to him for next week? Already just saying, uh, 1213 01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,440 Speaker 1: Cardinals taking on the Chiefs. We've already alluded to this 1214 01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:18,800 Speaker 1: matchup several times, including take a chance on me on 1215 01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:22,040 Speaker 1: the Arizona side, Josh Rosen was might take a chance 1216 01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,920 Speaker 1: on me quarterback, Plenty of volume coming in this matchup. 1217 01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:28,600 Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald gets a C grade. Chief secondaries improved a lot. 1218 01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,400 Speaker 1: Kansas City surrendered just too wide receiver touchdowns in the 1219 01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:34,640 Speaker 1: last six weeks, so the early narrative about the terrible 1220 01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:37,520 Speaker 1: Chief secondaries not coming true, at least to the wide 1221 01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:41,800 Speaker 1: receiver position. Fitzgerald draws the Chief's best cornerback, Kendall Fuller, 1222 01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:45,440 Speaker 1: who mans the slot for Kansas City. Still, Fitzgerald's coming 1223 01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 1: up back to back touchdown games, and he's seen eight 1224 01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,800 Speaker 1: or more targets in three straight games, so he's still 1225 01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:52,240 Speaker 1: absolutely startable here. So is Christian Kirk, who leads the 1226 01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:55,000 Speaker 1: team in receiving yards, and he's posted decent numbers for 1227 01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,760 Speaker 1: most of the last six weeks. Not explosive, just decent. 1228 01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:01,720 Speaker 1: He's gonna see mostly a vastly improved version of Orlando Scandrick, 1229 01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:03,840 Speaker 1: who is not allowed to touchdown in his coverage. Since 1230 01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:06,439 Speaker 1: the opener, I have a C grade on Christian Kirk. 1231 01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:10,400 Speaker 1: The real angle here, though, and especially for DFS play 1232 01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,600 Speaker 1: David Johnson, Chiefs are gonna fall behind early and they're 1233 01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,800 Speaker 1: gonna throw to Johnson a lot. The Chiefs have allowed 1234 01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:21,080 Speaker 1: seven different running backs to gain over one hundred total yards. 1235 01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:25,000 Speaker 1: They are dead last in running back receiving yards. They 1236 01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:29,040 Speaker 1: are dead last in running back receiving touchdowns, their second 1237 01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:32,880 Speaker 1: to last in running back receptions. David Johnson is sitting 1238 01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:36,800 Speaker 1: on a massive PPR week eight thousand on fanball this week, 1239 01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:40,840 Speaker 1: UM and fanball dot com slash a bid. It gives 1240 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:45,040 Speaker 1: you a chance to potentially auction for David Johnson as well. Uh, 1241 01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,640 Speaker 1: let's go to the chief side. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, 1242 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,000 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill all a starts. They do not require any 1243 01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:57,080 Speaker 1: elaboration whatsoever. Not neither neither does, and maybe especially UH does. 1244 01:06:57,200 --> 01:06:59,800 Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt because this is the worst run defense in 1245 01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,280 Speaker 1: the league. Kareem Hunt is my favorite play of all 1246 01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:05,640 Speaker 1: players across the board this week period end of stories, 1247 01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:08,400 Speaker 1: so much so that I even think Spencer wear Is 1248 01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:10,520 Speaker 1: might take a chance. I mean, guy is going to 1249 01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,280 Speaker 1: get fed in this one as well. And I've already 1250 01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,560 Speaker 1: seen from Twitter people are gonna start both and I'm 1251 01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,600 Speaker 1: totally fine with that. You can start Kareem Hunt and 1252 01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:21,880 Speaker 1: Spencer Wearing This matchup last guy. I'll mention Sammy Watkins 1253 01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,160 Speaker 1: dealing with a foot issue. He's been a real the 1254 01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:26,120 Speaker 1: fush foot issue has been a recurring problem through his 1255 01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:28,640 Speaker 1: whole career. I don't think he's going to play in 1256 01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:30,480 Speaker 1: this game, and even if he does, it's a run 1257 01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:34,960 Speaker 1: focused game and I'm nervous about him for this one 1258 01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:39,440 Speaker 1: and he is on the bench. Next matchup, Chargers taking 1259 01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:42,600 Speaker 1: on the Raiders. Matt It's uh. It's the first time 1260 01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:46,560 Speaker 1: since week number two that Patrick Mahomes is not my 1261 01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:51,600 Speaker 1: number one ranked quarterback and it's because Philip Rivers is. Yeah. 1262 01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:54,600 Speaker 1: The Raiders have allowed the second most passing touchdowns this season, 1263 01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:57,840 Speaker 1: including multiple touchdown passes to seven of the eight quarterbacks 1264 01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,960 Speaker 1: they faced. Rivers is just a lock this week. He's 1265 01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:04,040 Speaker 1: an easy a only quarterback in the NFL with multiple 1266 01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,520 Speaker 1: touchdown passes every week of the season. He hasn't had 1267 01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:11,080 Speaker 1: the huge splash game though, that's the one drawback three 1268 01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:15,000 Speaker 1: touchdowns every week. He's super reliable. Though, Melvin Gordon getting 1269 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,080 Speaker 1: an A. You like Kareem Hunt as your top play 1270 01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:20,120 Speaker 1: this week, you could argue that Melvin Gordon is right 1271 01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:22,240 Speaker 1: in the same wheelhouse. Say both grade and ten out 1272 01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:23,960 Speaker 1: of ten for me this week. Yeah, the Raiders are 1273 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:27,160 Speaker 1: bottom five and rushing yards yards per carrying, rushing touchdowns 1274 01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:30,120 Speaker 1: allowed to running backs. That puts Austin Ekeler in play 1275 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,800 Speaker 1: in the similar vein that Spencer wears in play for 1276 01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:36,240 Speaker 1: a C grade for Austin Ekeler. Keenan Allen, I'm giving 1277 01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,800 Speaker 1: a B grade two. He had eight catches for ninety 1278 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,840 Speaker 1: yards in the first meeting against the Raiders. He's one 1279 01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,400 Speaker 1: of only two wide receivers to hit the ninety yard 1280 01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:47,040 Speaker 1: mark against the Raiders this year. Game script may just 1281 01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,400 Speaker 1: not favor him because it's so easy to run on 1282 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:53,880 Speaker 1: Oakland and they just haven't. Oakland's been all right against 1283 01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:58,080 Speaker 1: wide receivers, specifically uh Mike Williams and Tyrrell Williams. I'm 1284 01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:00,960 Speaker 1: giving them C grades as well, though Iyrrell had sixty 1285 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,919 Speaker 1: six and Mike had forty five last time around against Oakland. 1286 01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,200 Speaker 1: None of the wide receivers out of those three scored 1287 01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,240 Speaker 1: a touchdown in the first meeting with the Raiders, though, 1288 01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,920 Speaker 1: but Tyrrell has four touchdowns in the last three weeks 1289 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,920 Speaker 1: on only nine catches, and Mike has two touchdowns in 1290 01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:20,640 Speaker 1: the last two weeks on two catches. That's it's a 1291 01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:24,880 Speaker 1: pretty good duhver right now, Antonio Gates. I'm giving him 1292 01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:28,519 Speaker 1: a desperation d start. There is no star it is. 1293 01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:33,559 Speaker 1: It's for desperation. He only had two catches for nineteen 1294 01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,479 Speaker 1: yards in the first matchup, but his counterpart Virgil Green 1295 01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,439 Speaker 1: scored in that game. His ceiling is probably five targets. 1296 01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,400 Speaker 1: But the Raiders are bottom ten in yards and touchdowns 1297 01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:45,000 Speaker 1: allowed to the tight end position. Over on the Oakland side, 1298 01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,719 Speaker 1: it's pretty dismal. Jared Cook is on the bench. Cook 1299 01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:49,639 Speaker 1: has in top twenty yards and three of his last 1300 01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:52,479 Speaker 1: four The Chargers are allowing less than forty yards per 1301 01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:54,920 Speaker 1: game to the tight end over the last month. Jordi 1302 01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:58,599 Speaker 1: and Martevis Bryant are on the bench. Uh Chargers are 1303 01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:01,640 Speaker 1: top ten in reception and receiving yards allowed it to 1304 01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:05,639 Speaker 1: wide receivers, which means all the passing game is terrible. 1305 01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,640 Speaker 1: So Derek carrs obviously on the bench too. And the 1306 01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:10,880 Speaker 1: only guy that you can even think of starting on 1307 01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:13,679 Speaker 1: the Oakland side is Jalen Richard. He has the fifth 1308 01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:16,679 Speaker 1: most receptions among running backs this season. He's averaging five 1309 01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,160 Speaker 1: per game, and over their last four games, the Chargers 1310 01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,519 Speaker 1: are allowing seven and a half receptions and seventy three 1311 01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:24,200 Speaker 1: yards per game to opposing backs, So I could give 1312 01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:28,320 Speaker 1: Jalen Rashard to see. But that's about it. Doug Martin 1313 01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:30,760 Speaker 1: is a tough start. I used my number forty two 1314 01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,639 Speaker 1: running back. That's why I didn't even mention it. I don't, 1315 01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:35,920 Speaker 1: I don't. Just the game script is immediately going to 1316 01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:38,599 Speaker 1: go away from him. But get this, he's actually averaging 1317 01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,880 Speaker 1: five yards per carry since becoming the starter. It's not 1318 01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,320 Speaker 1: that he's been terrible, it's just the game scripts are 1319 01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:49,000 Speaker 1: always dead wrong for him. And I know he's five 1320 01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:52,080 Speaker 1: yards per carry since since the injury hunt. Go figure 1321 01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:55,400 Speaker 1: when we come back, final set of matchups and Premature 1322 01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:58,400 Speaker 1: Speculation and your calls with Lightning Round.

Scott, Yeah, I'm I'm pulling 1359 01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,800 Speaker 1: an audible here. I'm going Royce Freeman all right, Yeah, 1360 01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,400 Speaker 1: he's on by this week. He's been dropped in enough 1361 01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:22,000 Speaker 1: leagues either owned Cincinnati, San Francisco, Cleveland, and Oakland, all 1362 01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:25,439 Speaker 1: bottom nine defenses against the run for his playoff run. 1363 01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:28,080 Speaker 1: There and every one of those teams allowing over a 1364 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:30,519 Speaker 1: hundred thirty plus total yards per game, three of them 1365 01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:33,400 Speaker 1: five plus yards per carry. It's a good end of season. Oh, 1366 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:35,479 Speaker 1: it's great. I've tried to acquire Rice Freeman in a 1367 01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:37,200 Speaker 1: few leaks. I've got Lindsay in a bunch of them, 1368 01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:38,720 Speaker 1: so that's been part of it. As I want that 1369 01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:40,879 Speaker 1: I could see starting both in some of these games. 1370 01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:44,400 Speaker 1: I've got the oozy c j Uzoma. He's had forty 1371 01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:46,840 Speaker 1: plus yards and or a touchdown in five of eight 1372 01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:49,320 Speaker 1: games this year, and that a J Green injury is 1373 01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,960 Speaker 1: lingering and looming over the since the offense Dalton through 1374 01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,280 Speaker 1: to his tight end six times per game in that 1375 01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:58,200 Speaker 1: eight game stretch where a J missed last year with 1376 01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:01,759 Speaker 1: five tight end touchdowns and Cincinnati as the third easiest 1377 01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,600 Speaker 1: remaining schedule for tight ends and the easiest schedule in 1378 01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:07,439 Speaker 1: the playoffs where they faced the Chargers, Raiders, and Browns, 1379 01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,640 Speaker 1: three teams who have allowed nine tight ends to go 1380 01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:15,519 Speaker 1: over fifty yards and fourteen tight end touchdowns in six weeks. 1381 01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:21,000 Speaker 1: Uh I had Lamar Jackson is my guy before this 1382 01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:26,000 Speaker 1: Flacco story as proof if you go to our Waiver 1383 01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:32,160 Speaker 1: Wire article, was there from tuesdaytas almost daily podcast. That's right, 1384 01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:36,679 Speaker 1: that's right. We were urging people on Tuesday to pick 1385 01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:39,320 Speaker 1: up Lamar Jackson because all we do is help you 1386 01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:42,280 Speaker 1: work a week ahead of time. If Lamar Jackson for 1387 01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,960 Speaker 1: some reason is still not rostered in your league, go 1388 01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:48,439 Speaker 1: get Lamar Jackson. And then as a pivot to that, 1389 01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:51,000 Speaker 1: since we've already taught if Jackson has been Let's go 1390 01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,080 Speaker 1: back to Rex Burkhead, who we talked about earlier in 1391 01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:55,639 Speaker 1: the show as somebody you can get now and stashed 1392 01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:58,080 Speaker 1: until week number thirteen when he comes on off i 1393 01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:02,080 Speaker 1: r final set of matchups be in with Cowboys taking 1394 01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:06,679 Speaker 1: on the Eagles, Um Scott, we saw Marie Cooper score 1395 01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:09,480 Speaker 1: in his very first game. Do you like him in Philly? 1396 01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:13,160 Speaker 1: A little? That's about all you're getting, uh? In the 1397 01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:16,040 Speaker 1: passing game, I'm gonna skip from boot Cooper back to 1398 01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:18,720 Speaker 1: Dak where I'm just benching Doc. I don't like him 1399 01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:21,320 Speaker 1: in this matchup. He's He's only top two fifty yards 1400 01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:23,840 Speaker 1: twice this season, Doc has and you only have ten 1401 01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:27,320 Speaker 1: passing touchdowns in eight games. That's that's not good. That's 1402 01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:30,280 Speaker 1: not startable on a weekly basis. But Cooper. I did 1403 01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:32,920 Speaker 1: give a B grade to Um in the last three games, 1404 01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:35,400 Speaker 1: the Eagles having allowed a wide receiver over sixty five yards. 1405 01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:38,160 Speaker 1: That sounds bad, but in weeks one through five, ten 1406 01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:41,519 Speaker 1: different wide receivers had seventy five yards and or a touchdown. 1407 01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:45,280 Speaker 1: Blame Carolina wide receivers, Jacksonville wide receivers and a terrible 1408 01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:47,559 Speaker 1: Eli manning game. For how good the Eagles have looked 1409 01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,600 Speaker 1: the last three weeks. Uh, Cooper saw eight targets, and 1410 01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:52,200 Speaker 1: I think Dallas is going to be hell bent on 1411 01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:55,040 Speaker 1: proving that that trade was good, like getting that that 1412 01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:59,480 Speaker 1: public image narrative street there. All that first rounder was expensive. 1413 01:15:59,720 --> 01:16:02,320 Speaker 1: Ye all nine wide receivers with eight or more targets 1414 01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:04,439 Speaker 1: against the Eagles. Eight targets is how many Cooper had 1415 01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:07,840 Speaker 1: last week, had double digit Fantasy days. So B grade. 1416 01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:10,439 Speaker 1: They're benching Beasley because he saw just three targets with 1417 01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:13,439 Speaker 1: Cooper and Zeke Ellion, I'm only giving a B B 1418 01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:16,479 Speaker 1: grade too. He's he's just had one game over sixty 1419 01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:20,559 Speaker 1: five yards rushing in the last four games. Uh, and 1420 01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:23,280 Speaker 1: he he's making a little bit up on the receiving game. 1421 01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:25,839 Speaker 1: He had seven catches in one game, four catches and another. 1422 01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:28,120 Speaker 1: That's where he can make it up because the Eagles 1423 01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:31,200 Speaker 1: are allowing just under eight grabs and eighty six yards 1424 01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:34,559 Speaker 1: per game two runners over the last three games. I 1425 01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:36,479 Speaker 1: think that that might be. Actually where he gets his 1426 01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:39,960 Speaker 1: B grade is through the air somehow. On the other side, 1427 01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:44,559 Speaker 1: Carson wentz a grade. Wentzays at least two total yards 1428 01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:49,759 Speaker 1: and multiple touchdowns in five straight. The Cowboys have been stout. Yeah, 1429 01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:53,639 Speaker 1: but uh and but have allowed at least one quarterback 1430 01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,519 Speaker 1: touchdown in every game, and they're coming off a short 1431 01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:59,000 Speaker 1: week where they let Mariotta score three and Wentz has 1432 01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:02,839 Speaker 1: a new weapon, and hey, so B grade for alshon 1433 01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:06,240 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Dallas is top three against wide receivers on the season. 1434 01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:09,160 Speaker 1: But let's take a closer look on that beat up 1435 01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:13,439 Speaker 1: Redskins wide receiving corps. The Titans, the Jaguars Seattle before 1436 01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:16,439 Speaker 1: Wilson got hot and Baldwin was out Carolina and a 1437 01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:19,760 Speaker 1: terrible ELI game like they've had just not good wide 1438 01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:22,479 Speaker 1: receivers when they've played in all Sean's five games. He 1439 01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:25,280 Speaker 1: has four touchdowns and his averaging just under nine targets 1440 01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,639 Speaker 1: per games seventy plus and three of them B grade there, Yeah, 1441 01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:32,400 Speaker 1: nine targets per game, Golden Tate. I'm giving a speculative 1442 01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:34,040 Speaker 1: C grade, and I think I might be a little 1443 01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:37,719 Speaker 1: too low on there. I think he's gonna play outside, 1444 01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:40,599 Speaker 1: but now they have three three slot wide receivers. But 1445 01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:43,640 Speaker 1: just his talent level makes him definitely startable for me. 1446 01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,760 Speaker 1: Aglar goes to the bench with the Tate acquisition and 1447 01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:49,240 Speaker 1: zach Ertz. I'm giving him and I'm giving him an 1448 01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:51,800 Speaker 1: A grade. The Cowboys have allowed just two tight ends 1449 01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:54,280 Speaker 1: over forty five yards and just two tight end touchdowns 1450 01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:56,680 Speaker 1: this year, but Arts has a hundred plus and or 1451 01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,320 Speaker 1: a touchdown in five straight. He's averaging seven and a 1452 01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:01,639 Speaker 1: half catches ten at half targets per game. They can 1453 01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:02,880 Speaker 1: be as good as they want. It gets tight on 1454 01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:08,160 Speaker 1: some starting zach Ertz, no choice. Alright, Dolphins take out 1455 01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:10,720 Speaker 1: the Packers. I would normally tell you to just sit 1456 01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:13,559 Speaker 1: everybody around Brick Osweiler, which is normally the case, but 1457 01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:17,439 Speaker 1: I know who you're going for here. You do, yeah, Frank. 1458 01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:22,479 Speaker 1: We are going to give Frank or passing. I started 1459 01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:25,120 Speaker 1: with the passing game and Osweiler is on the bench. 1460 01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:27,360 Speaker 1: But I've got to see great in DeVante Parker. Only 1461 01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,439 Speaker 1: because the Packers have allowed the second most scores to receivers, 1462 01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:33,240 Speaker 1: including multi score games the Marquis go Doing and Josh 1463 01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:36,600 Speaker 1: Reynolds just in the last three weeks alone. So you 1464 01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:41,320 Speaker 1: know this is they're churning safeties for for for for 1465 01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:44,200 Speaker 1: Green Bay. It's a secondary influx right now. I think 1466 01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:46,280 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a couple of opportunities. So I've got 1467 01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:48,960 Speaker 1: a starting great in DeVante Parker and then Danny Amadola. 1468 01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:51,000 Speaker 1: If you just want your five catches for forty yards, 1469 01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:53,040 Speaker 1: just fine. You know I can see that. And if 1470 01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,280 Speaker 1: you need to be safe, if you're one of these people, 1471 01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:58,280 Speaker 1: you're up by fifty points because the Thursday night's game 1472 01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:00,120 Speaker 1: and you just want to get your five catch just 1473 01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:03,680 Speaker 1: forty fifty yards, Danny Amontola is probably your guy for that. 1474 01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:08,000 Speaker 1: Then let's go to the running game. Frank Gore b grade. 1475 01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:11,240 Speaker 1: In his past four weeks. He's averaging over fourteen carries 1476 01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:14,479 Speaker 1: per game, and of the four backs who have managed 1477 01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:17,960 Speaker 1: fourteen carries per game against the Packers, the average game 1478 01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:22,360 Speaker 1: ninety four rushing yards, five and a half yards per carry, 1479 01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:26,599 Speaker 1: and a touchdown per game. Frank Gore be great. Kenyan 1480 01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:29,360 Speaker 1: Drake's on the bench. He has been out carried by 1481 01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:33,080 Speaker 1: Gore in every game since Week two. Man, if only 1482 01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:36,719 Speaker 1: somebody could have seen this at the preseason, I would 1483 01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:42,120 Speaker 1: like a peacock for that. Something something weird about Kenyan Drake. 1484 01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:45,280 Speaker 1: He's played nine games. He has four RB one games 1485 01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:49,720 Speaker 1: of nine. That's crazy. It's receiving the touchdowns. It is 1486 01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:53,120 Speaker 1: receiving in touchdowns. Packers, though, give up the seventh fewest 1487 01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:56,120 Speaker 1: receptions per game to opposing running backs and have only 1488 01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:59,920 Speaker 1: given up one are running back touchdown through the airs. 1489 01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:02,360 Speaker 1: That's where you need Drake to help you, and it 1490 01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:04,920 Speaker 1: isn't coming here. So he's on the bench. Let's go 1491 01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:07,599 Speaker 1: to the Packers side. A bunch of A grades across 1492 01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:10,120 Speaker 1: the board, and the guy that I'm most excited about, 1493 01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:15,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. I've got an A grade on him. I'm 1494 01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:18,720 Speaker 1: counting on my toma, babe. Can I tell you how 1495 01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:22,240 Speaker 1: this is? Just do the right thing, the right counting 1496 01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:24,760 Speaker 1: on Mike McCarthy to do the right he never does. 1497 01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,160 Speaker 1: This is from Graham Barfield. These are some Next Sense 1498 01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:29,360 Speaker 1: stats among running backs over the last two years with 1499 01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:31,680 Speaker 1: at least a hundred five carries. Aaron Jones is first 1500 01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:34,479 Speaker 1: in yards per carry, first in yards gained after defender 1501 01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:38,160 Speaker 1: closes within the yard, first in rushing yard Russia attempts 1502 01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:41,720 Speaker 1: Russia Russia's over ten yards, first in success rate, and 1503 01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:44,560 Speaker 1: second in first down second down first down rate. It 1504 01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:47,720 Speaker 1: should all come together, It should all come together. This week, 1505 01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:50,960 Speaker 1: the Dolphins are giving up on twenty rushing yards per game. 1506 01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:54,040 Speaker 1: It's the juiciest matchup of the season for Aaron Jones. 1507 01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:57,680 Speaker 1: Insert Jamal Williams getting fifteen cars. God, I hope not. 1508 01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:01,519 Speaker 1: Let's just hope the usage is going the right way now. 1509 01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:04,800 Speaker 1: He had that critical fumble against the Patriots, but they 1510 01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:06,200 Speaker 1: went back to him at the end of the game, 1511 01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:08,920 Speaker 1: so I'm presuming he's not in the doghouse. A grade. 1512 01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:13,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones a great. Aaron Rodgers obvious A grade. I 1513 01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:15,719 Speaker 1: am worried about the running game actually cannibalizing him stats 1514 01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:18,040 Speaker 1: more than I'm worried about the Dolphins, but nevertheless, even 1515 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:20,920 Speaker 1: unlimited passes, he could still be fine. Deshaun Watson scored 1516 01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:23,479 Speaker 1: five times and throw the ball just twenty times against 1517 01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:26,960 Speaker 1: the Dolphins last week. Davante Adams obvious A grade, although 1518 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:30,519 Speaker 1: we'll note that he's drawing shadow coverage from Xavian Howard 1519 01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:33,360 Speaker 1: in this game. Howard is not allowed more than thirty 1520 01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:35,600 Speaker 1: two yards in his coverage and over a month, but 1521 01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:40,600 Speaker 1: still Adams totally matchup Proof A grade opposite him. Marquees 1522 01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:45,439 Speaker 1: Valdez Scantling, My guy, I love I love this rookie. 1523 01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:47,120 Speaker 1: He has found the end zone or hit one hundred 1524 01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:50,599 Speaker 1: yards in four straight games. Only DeShawn Jackson averages more 1525 01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:55,320 Speaker 1: yards per reception than Marquees Valdez scant Link does, and 1526 01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:57,200 Speaker 1: Xavian Howard's gonna be on the other side of the 1527 01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:00,799 Speaker 1: field guarding uh Davante Adams. It's a great matchup against 1528 01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:05,800 Speaker 1: Bobby McCain, who has been roasted by speed receivers like Markuees, 1529 01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:12,519 Speaker 1: Valdez Scantling this year be grade for him. Randall Cobb 1530 01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:14,880 Speaker 1: downgraded midweek and a hamstring. You want to avoid him 1531 01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:16,760 Speaker 1: at all costs. Hopefully you didn't draft him at all. 1532 01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:21,200 Speaker 1: And the last guy I'll mention Jimmy Graham Dolphins allowing 1533 01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:24,120 Speaker 1: uh wait, uh oh, I have the wrong text in here. 1534 01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:25,600 Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham is an a grade you can go to. 1535 01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:27,639 Speaker 1: I don't have I've got the wrong I pasted into 1536 01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:29,040 Speaker 1: I don't have the right text, and I've got Aaron 1537 01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:31,080 Speaker 1: Jones text in for by Jimmy Graham. He scored our 1538 01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:33,439 Speaker 1: top seven seventy six yards and five of his last 1539 01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:35,559 Speaker 1: seven games. I like that. Thank you very much for 1540 01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:38,200 Speaker 1: the assist. You can get the full not just Jimmy Graham. 1541 01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 1: You can get the full rundown on all of these 1542 01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:42,080 Speaker 1: guys at famball dot com because we've got all the 1543 01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:45,320 Speaker 1: player ratings and explanations for free at famball dot com. 1544 01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:47,800 Speaker 1: Go to my player rankings so you learn about Jimmy Graham. 1545 01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:51,080 Speaker 1: Your matchup took too long because you said Marques Veldez 1546 01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:55,160 Speaker 1: Scantling three times, which you could have been worked. It 1547 01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:58,240 Speaker 1: could have been nine. Last matchup is Giants at forty nine. 1548 01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:00,000 Speaker 1: At least we don't have to talk about too many 1549 01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:03,280 Speaker 1: Giants or forty Niners now Quans and A. He's on 1550 01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,120 Speaker 1: pace to break the single season running back reception record 1551 01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:08,760 Speaker 1: held by Matt Forte uh He's on pace for one 1552 01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:11,040 Speaker 1: sixteen fourte had one O two and the Niners or 1553 01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:14,360 Speaker 1: bottom ten and receptions and receiving touchdowns allowed to running 1554 01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:17,120 Speaker 1: back Odell Beckham's in A. Niners have allowed to touch 1555 01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:20,080 Speaker 1: down to seven of our wide receiver in seven of 1556 01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:23,240 Speaker 1: their last nine games. Sterling Shepherds even a B slot 1557 01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:29,560 Speaker 1: wide receivers have torched the Niners Tate mvs. Marquees, Valdez, Scantling, 1558 01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:32,479 Speaker 1: Fitzgerald and theeling of all top two hundred yards against 1559 01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:35,120 Speaker 1: San Francisco from the slot. Evan Ingram is getting a 1560 01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 1: bench grade, though he's been held to twenty five yards 1561 01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:39,200 Speaker 1: or less than four or five games this season is 1562 01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:41,559 Speaker 1: only two scores have come in garbage time. And I'm 1563 01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:43,960 Speaker 1: giving Eli a C though because if not now, when, 1564 01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:48,080 Speaker 1: and I liked Sae Kwan Odell and Shepherd as receiving options. 1565 01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:51,840 Speaker 1: So on the other side, Matt Brita's getting a B grade. 1566 01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:55,080 Speaker 1: The Giants have no snacks, and since there's no snacks 1567 01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:57,800 Speaker 1: for the Giants, the arts per carry average have gone 1568 01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:01,360 Speaker 1: from four point oh to oppose backs to four point 1569 01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:03,760 Speaker 1: nine yards per carry and they're allowing a hundred and 1570 01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:07,040 Speaker 1: fourteen rushing yards per games since snacks Harrison left and 1571 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,519 Speaker 1: Raheem Mostert now has a third elbow, So Matt Breed 1572 01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:13,639 Speaker 1: has got this job all by himself. Nick mullins, he's 1573 01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:16,360 Speaker 1: on the bench. I'm not chasing that scorecard from last week. 1574 01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:18,719 Speaker 1: The Giants have only allowed two hundred fifty two yards 1575 01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:21,519 Speaker 1: per game through the air this year. That's eleventh best 1576 01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:23,479 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and the Niners shouldn't need to pass 1577 01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:26,280 Speaker 1: to beat the Giants. I am giving George Kittle a 1578 01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:29,040 Speaker 1: B though Kittle is top seventy nine yards in six 1579 01:24:29,080 --> 01:24:32,800 Speaker 1: games this season. The Giants did hold zech ERT's under fifty, 1580 01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:35,360 Speaker 1: but he had seven catches forty three yards in a score. 1581 01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:37,840 Speaker 1: I think Kittle's almost on par with Earth's right now, 1582 01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:41,000 Speaker 1: so he gets a B grade. Marquis Goodwin and Pierre Garson, 1583 01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:43,160 Speaker 1: though they are on the bench. Garson only had five 1584 01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:46,439 Speaker 1: targets in Mullins debut. Goodwin had four, and they shouldn't 1585 01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:49,479 Speaker 1: need to pass to beat the Giants. That's it, all right. 1586 01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:54,560 Speaker 1: I'll note to our local listening audience of presumably Timberwolves 1587 01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:59,920 Speaker 1: fans um multiple reports, including from John Krasinski, saying Philadelph 1588 01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:04,040 Speaker 1: uh is finalizing a deal with Minnesota to wire Jimmy 1589 01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:07,880 Speaker 1: Butler so that the hostage situation may be coming to 1590 01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:13,280 Speaker 1: an end. Casualties US fans, You mean we're not getting 1591 01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:17,200 Speaker 1: Joel Embiide or Ben Simmons in return? No, apparently apparently 1592 01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:22,960 Speaker 1: we are not. Uh, it's time for lightning round. You 1593 01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:27,839 Speaker 1: know the rules. One question between two players, one question 1594 01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:30,600 Speaker 1: between two players. That is uh, that is all you 1595 01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:37,600 Speaker 1: can do. Hold on a set, Um, Let's go to 1596 01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:40,160 Speaker 1: the calls, beginning with and thank you for your patients, 1597 01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:41,720 Speaker 1: all of you. I know you've all been on hold 1598 01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:46,240 Speaker 1: for over an hour. Andrew, Hello, Hello Standard League Calvin 1599 01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:51,320 Speaker 1: Ridley or Jarvis Plandy. Oh wow, I really like Ridley 1600 01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:54,280 Speaker 1: this week, but standard mix Stan probably favors Readley, So 1601 01:25:54,400 --> 01:26:00,599 Speaker 1: Ridley next. Uh, Phil, you're next? Hey, guys, thanks much. 1602 01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:03,920 Speaker 1: Um would you go Breeze or Rivers? Rivers? I would 1603 01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:06,639 Speaker 1: go Rivers this week. Rivers is my number one quarter. 1604 01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:08,679 Speaker 1: I'm a little worried about Breeze in the outdoor game. 1605 01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:13,320 Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, Carl. Your next standard League Jordan Howard 1606 01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:18,240 Speaker 1: or Tony Michelle? All right, Uh, I think Michelle's gonna 1607 01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:21,400 Speaker 1: play you get to at least. Yeah, he's the early 1608 01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:25,320 Speaker 1: game active. Michelle's going, yeah, you gotta you have to 1609 01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:27,439 Speaker 1: play him. But I like to. Actually I like Jordan 1610 01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:30,559 Speaker 1: Howard in his batchroom as well. That's a different story. Tom, 1611 01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:34,200 Speaker 1: You're next. Yeah, Doleman and I have an opponent wide 1612 01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:37,840 Speaker 1: for Fever. I'm wondering if I'm putting too many ears 1613 01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:41,040 Speaker 1: on its baptis because I'm playing David Johnson. Do I 1614 01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:44,519 Speaker 1: play Fitzgerald? Where do I go with Fits and the 1615 01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:47,040 Speaker 1: Upside in New Orleans? Thank you for your show. I 1616 01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:49,080 Speaker 1: listened every week. Thank you. Tom Howe. You one of 1617 01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:53,320 Speaker 1: those teams down by fifty because it's uh Fits is far, 1618 01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:56,439 Speaker 1: far safer. But I really do like Trackwon Smith here. Um, 1619 01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:01,719 Speaker 1: it's really a floor, a safe versus upside. He's got Fits, 1620 01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:04,200 Speaker 1: his draws, the best coverage corner they've got Kendall Fuller, 1621 01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:07,080 Speaker 1: and I think all right, I would go. I'm safely 1622 01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:10,760 Speaker 1: on the tray quand side of this. Stacy, Hello, good 1623 01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:18,759 Speaker 1: morning or Ram defense.

That's a 1628 01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:35,920 Speaker 1: hung Sorry, Chuck up, Chuck, that top, Chuck. Sorry, Chuck. Nick, 1629 01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:43,519 Speaker 1: you're next half point pprred Nick, I can't hear you, Nick. 1630 01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:46,479 Speaker 1: Are you talking to the speaker?

John in Boston, Hello, Hey guys, 1634 01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:03,799 Speaker 1: how you doing on at half point PPR? Um Sony 1635 01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:08,920 Speaker 1: Michelle or Mike David. If Chris Carson does not go, 1636 01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:12,320 Speaker 1: it's Mike Davis. Unfortunately, we don't get to see that 1637 01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:15,599 Speaker 1: decision till the later games, so you're gonna see Sony 1638 01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:19,240 Speaker 1: if he's if he's active, I'd go Sony. I think 1639 01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:21,200 Speaker 1: that's what you have to do, just because you're not 1640 01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:23,920 Speaker 1: probably not gonna have a definitive word on Chris Carson 1641 01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:27,719 Speaker 1: as a like absolutely unfortunately plan on Sony.
