9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: At what point do we apologize to Mitch Rubisky about

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: his Thursday night performance? Do we? We don't have to apologize. Yeah,

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: we didn't call bad. You're coming. It sounds like a

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: happy trombone ski right there. What I what I'm really

13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: disappointed in is I've got this great, horrible trombone solo

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: and I've only been able to use it one time

15
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: because Mitch has been good. Come on, Mitch, I bring

16
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: back this version of Mitch Robisky. He's got the vikings

17
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: coming up. That's gonna be uh um. I think he's

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: got chiefs and actors next week. Now we're here this year.

19
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: We are here this year at Yeah, we're kind of

20
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: always here. That's right, um, as always. We're gonna break

21
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: down every game, well not the Thursday game that already happened,

22
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: but I got a good feeling Mitch Robisky is gonna

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: have a good game. We're gonna give you letter grades

24
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: on every player, will give you our rationale for every grade,

25
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: so you can decide whether or not you're on board

26
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: with us. A few minutes from now, we're gonna give

27
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: you nine guys upon whom you can take a chance.

28
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: Many are available on the waiver wire. A little later on,

29
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: we'll have three tough questions answered for you, and we'll

30
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: run through all of the matchups. Get you ready for

31
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Guys, what I what I always love is Okay,

32
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: it's the playoffs that means this really counts. I need

33
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: you to give your very best possible. Yeah, we were

34
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: given the crap analysis are I feel like you were

35
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: trying the rest of the year. Yeah, but now I

36
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: really love getting that on Twitter. You really need this one.

37
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: It's the playoffs. Gotta do better. Uh, let's jump. Let's

38
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: jump right into the matchups. Our first matchup is with

39
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: Brian Cincinnati taking on Cleveland. Cincinnati is your adopted squad.

40
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: For Joe Mixon, it's been He's slowly gotten better over

41
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: the course of the year too. Now to this point

42
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: he's got my highest ranking of the entire season in

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: this matchup. What do you think about Joe Mixon this week? Yeah,

44
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: speaking of doing better, Joe Mixon has scored in four

45
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: of his last six games, but not an ideal spot

46
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: to stay hot this week. Over their last five games,

47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: Cleveland is holding opposing backs under one Combo yards per

48
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: game and they've allowed just three total touchdowns over those

49
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: five games to running backs. But you have to play

50
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: mixing on volume. Malone's We'll give him a B here.

51
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: Also gonna give Tyler Boyd b borderline A slot. Receivers

52
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: James Washington and Alan Herns have scored against the Browns

53
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks, and Tyler Boyd has scored

54
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: in his last two games against the Browns. So boom,

55
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: let's make it an A for my boy, Tyler Boyd,

56
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: A J Green, John Ross, Auden Tate. Let's talk about

57
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: these guys. Green won't play John Ross might. I think

58
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: he's going to get at least sometime in this game.

59
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: Tate definitely will, But I'm not starting any of these guys.

60
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: That Browns have allowed just one boundary receiver to score

61
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: over their last six games, and that was Courtland Sutton.

62
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: The cordon or duo of Greedy Williams and Denzil Award

63
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: is legit. So they're all on the bench. Boyd is

64
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: the only wide receiver I'm playing. Tyler Eifert two touchdowns

65
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: the last time he faced the Browns on December eleven.

66
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: I was just gonna gas. Okay, he's been that long

67
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: since he's seen the Browns. He's on the bench. He's

68
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: dead to us. Andy Dalton on you give him a

69
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: see multiple touchdown passes and six of his last seven

70
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: games against the Browns. If Marcus Mariotta, Jared Goff, Brandon Allen,

71
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: who's Jared Goff on the road? I believe Brandon Allen

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: and Ryan Fitzpatrick can throw multiple touchdown passes against Cleveland

73
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: this season. I think Dalton has a chance to over

74
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: to the Cleveland side. Nick chob can give hi An a.

75
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: The last running back to score through land or error

76
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: against the Browns was mark Ingram in Week ten, so

77
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: they've been kind of tough against the run since then.

78
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: They've blanked the likes of Josh Jacobs, Benny Snell, and

79
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Levy on Bill. But opposing backs are still leading, are

80
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: still averaging a hundred combo yards per game, so Chubb

81
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: gets an A and Kareem Hunt will get a B.

82
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: Opposing backs are averaging five plus catches against Cincinnati over

83
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, and during that span Hunt has

84
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: caught thirteen passes while Nick Chubb has just four catches,

85
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: So easy hunt for B for hunch, maybe an A MPPR.

86
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: Even I'm gonna haven't mentioned the wide receivers now, and

87
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: the first one I'm gonna talk about his Jarvis Landry

88
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: while he's the leading receiver sixty five catches, nine nineteen yards,

89
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: five touchdowns for Landry, seven eight oh five and two

90
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: for Beckham. Brutal uh. Cincinnati is the only team in

91
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: the NFL with an opponent passing play percentage under fifty

92
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: though that doesn't bode well for either of these guys

93
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: or the passing game. Landry has been red hot, garnering

94
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: ten plus targets and five of his last six. He's

95
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: moved around quite a bit, but should still run primarily

96
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: out of from the slot world see Darky's Dennard who

97
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: has allowed just ten of eighteen passing for ninety yards

98
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: and no touchdown. So he's good. I think he's truly

99
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: a slot corner and whenever they try to play him

100
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: elsewhere it doesn't work out. But in the slot, den

101
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: Art is very good. Agreed and uh so this is

102
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: a better matchup for Odell Beckham um probably one of

103
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: the better matchups of the season four him. But again

104
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: the volume is a concern, but opposing wide receivers are

105
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: averaging under seventeen targets per game against the Bengals, not

106
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: a lot of volume, but Robby Anderson had seven catches

107
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: for a hundred and one yards last week. Beckham can

108
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: do the same, one would think. David and Joku not

109
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: activated yet, so we're not going to talk about him much.

110
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: But he still has Arizona next week, so he's worth

111
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: Mosterick and pick him up now for that Arizona matchup

112
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: next week. You know you got a figure for those

113
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: that are still allowed to make waiver moves. He'll be

114
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: a hot waiver wire guy next week. So if you

115
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: wanted Joku for free, effectively, go pick him up now.

116
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: I should. I didn't mention though I gave a B

117
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: to both Landry and Beckham and Baker. Mayfield also gets

118
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: a B two eighty four and three and two fifty

119
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: eight and four in the two games. Again since the

120
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: last season. This is the first meeting, by the way,

121
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: very late for a divisional the first divisional matchup. But again,

122
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: how much will the Browns need to pass in this one?

123
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: The Bengals understandably limited Sam Donald the combo of Duck Hodges,

124
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph and Derek cart in recent weeks, but they're

125
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: still ranked thirty one against the past by football outsiders.

126
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: Baker should do fine, but his ceilings a little caps here,

127
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: just to be all right, Uh, Matt, let's move over

128
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: to San Francisco taking on the Saints, as are two

129
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: good defensive teams. And let's start with the forty Niners

130
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: side of this one where he mostarred splashed big time

131
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: last week. We're gonna talk about him in depth a

132
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: little later. What do you think of where he mostred

133
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 1: in the rest of the running game for the forty

134
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: Niners in this matchup? So I was gonna say this

135
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: is a really good reality game, but a pretty bad

136
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: fantasy game for the most part. Here Um, I got

137
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: all the running backs on the bench because it's Shannahannigans

138
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: all over again. Touch leaders in the backfield over the

139
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: last five weeks have been Brita, Brita, Coleman, Coleman, Mostart,

140
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: and now Jeff Wilson is back involved again to most

141
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: Are huge day last week was the only back in

142
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: that span the topped eighty rushing yards for the Niners.

143
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: No back has topped eighty three yards in the Saints

144
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: all year, and they've only allowed one rushing score to

145
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: running back in the last seven games. So they're all

146
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: on the bench. Um, I don't really like much in

147
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: the passing game either. I'm giving Jimmy Garoppolo a bench grade.

148
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: Garoppolo has put up three big games this year. They

149
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: were two against the Cardinals and one against Cincinnati. In

150
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: his other nine games on the season, he's averaging two

151
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: hundred six yards and one point one touchdowns per game.

152
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: So unless you had the number one overall pick last

153
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: year or the number one overall pick this year, he's

154
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: not doing We're very well against right, Yeah, so we

155
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: should call him Jimmy three pretty much three good games. Uh.

156
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: The Saints have allowed multiple scores to each of the

157
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: last four quarterbacks they faced, and two of those four

158
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: of top three yards. But I still don't think Jimmy

159
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: g is getting it done. George Kittle, I am giving

160
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: an A grade. Two Kittles topped eighty five yards or

161
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: scored in five of his last seven and the Saints

162
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: have given up four relevant fantasy days to tight ends

163
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: in the last four weeks. So Kidles just an auto start.

164
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders gets to see Deebo Samuels on the bench.

165
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: Sanders led the team in targets and catches last week,

166
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: but that was only six and four, respectively. He seems

167
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: to be over the rib injury, but he's not over

168
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lattimore, who he should draw shadow coverage from this week.

169
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: On the Saint side, Michael Thomas easy a. I am

170
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: giving an A grade to Alvin Kamara as well. And

171
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: there's there's okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna get right into

172
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: all the shade that needs to be thrown here alright. Um,

173
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: he hasn't topped a hundred rushing yards all year. He's

174
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: scored only twice, both in one game. Yes, on the

175
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: positive side, running back has topped eighty total yards on

176
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: the Niners, and six of the last seven weeks that'll

177
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: be Kamara, and Kamara has seen reception totals of eight, ten, nine,

178
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: and four in the last four weeks. Those are huge

179
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: reception totals, and in PPR leagues, he's still just an

180
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: auto start. I think he's an a start. Nobody in

181
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: the in the playoffs right now is thinking about benching

182
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: Alvin m Nobody's got Alan Camara in the playoffs because

183
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: they're all out. Maybe, um, did you good job, Drew Brees.

184
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm only giving a C grade two. Over the last

185
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: eleven games, the Niners are only allowing a hundred and

186
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: forty three passing yards and under a touchdown per game

187
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: to opposing quarterbacks. The only quarterbacks who have burned the

188
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: Niners over the last two months were the mobile Lamar

189
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: Jackson and the mobile Kyler Murray twice. Drew Brees mobility

190
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: might be improved if he played with one of those

191
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: hover around electric wheelchairs. I think that that might help him.

192
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: Jared Cook, also on the bench, the Niners have been

193
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: awesome against the tight end this year. Only two tight

194
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: ends of top thirty two yards against them all year,

195
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: and they've only allowed three scores to the position. Um,

196
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: why can't um? Why can't Drew Brees be on what

197
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: was the palm? The mall cop? Paul Blart mark mall cop? Yes,

198
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: why can't he be on a segway? He could? I mean,

199
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: are there specific rules in the NFL that state that

200
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: you can't ride motorized vehicles? That's right? Show me in

201
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: the in the rule book for the NFL where it

202
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: says just been a sega. It just has to match

203
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: the uniform. That's all they care about. Yeah, my kids

204
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: are really good at those hoverboard things. Yeah, Breese might

205
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: might do well in those. I think I'd break my back.

206
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: Ravens taking on the Bills Another that we've You know,

207
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: we're starting out with a lot of low scoring, tough defense,

208
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: really good reality games this week that aren't gonna lend

209
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: you a lot of fantasy points. And this is Baltimore.

210
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo is a great reality game, and there aren't that

211
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: many fantasy points to be had. So we're gonna do

212
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: go through the charade with Lamar Jackson where I'm gonna

213
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: tell you all the reasons he should have a bad game.

214
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: Then you're gonna start him anyway, are we gonna do that.

215
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him an a grade anyway. We have

216
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: we don't have the time for this. Here are the

217
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: reasons you should bench Lamar Jackson outright, and we'll never

218
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: bench Lamar Jackson outright. The Bills ranked fourth and passing

219
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: yards allowed, second in passing touchdowns allowed um. They are

220
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: allowed the third fewest quarterback rushing yards, just eight rushing

221
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: yards per game. Two of the past twenty seven quarterbacks

222
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: of face Buffalo have scored a rushing touchdown. And I'm

223
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: giving him an a grade anyway, because the rules just

224
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: don't apply to Lamar Jackson right now. Uh, staying staying

225
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: with the Ravens and maybe even the passing game. The

226
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: only the only member the passing game that you can

227
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: start here is Mark Andrews. It is a tough matchup

228
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: though The Bills have allowed the second fewest receptions, yards

229
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: and touchdowns to tight end basically the top tight end defense,

230
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: and they basically are the top tight end defense. And

231
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: Andrews only gets a be because he's been that good

232
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: no no tight end his top sixty yards against the Bills,

233
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: and only one tight end his top fifty yards, and

234
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: that was John hu Smith. Who did it on one

235
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: flukey long catch. So it's a brutal matchup and Mark

236
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: Andrews probably deserves more like a C grade here, but

237
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: he's been so good for much of the year, I'm

238
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: giving him a B. Anyway, it sounds like you're gonna

239
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: play the players that got you there. Oh yeah, I

240
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: hate that. Then Marquis Hollywood Brown averaging a pedestrian thirty

241
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: six yards per game over the last six weeks. See,

242
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: you need him to score, So Willie score? Answer no,

243
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: because he's gonna get shadowed by trade Abous White, who

244
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: is not allowed to touch down all season, so he's

245
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: out to Where does that leave us? Mark Ingram? Over

246
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: the last three games, the Bills are allowing fewer than

247
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: fourteen rushing attempts, the fewest for only fifty seven rushing yards,

248
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: fourth fewest. Last week, it was only the second time

249
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: since Week four that mark Ingram did not have one

250
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: rushing yards or a touchdown, and that was against a

251
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: tough forty Niners defense. This is also a tough draw here,

252
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: but mark Ingram usually gets it done, so he gets

253
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: a B grade. Overall. It's it's tough if if Lamar

254
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: Jackson is going to have a flop game. This is

255
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: the one, but you're still starting. Let's go to the

256
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo side. We've only got a couple of starting grades here,

257
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: beginning with a C grade on Josh Allen. Over the

258
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: past month, the Ravens are giving up ten and a

259
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: half points per game. That's it. Only Patrick Mahomes has

260
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: topped one touchdown against the Ravens, and while Josh allen

261
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: rushing prowess is always a wild card, the Ravens have

262
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: stymied other good rushers this year, like Kyler Murray and

263
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. The Ravens have allowed the third fewest quarterback

264
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: rushing yards as well, So it's all it all, It's

265
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: all bad for Josh Allen. The only other starting grade

266
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: I've got is Devin Singletary. The Ravens defense much more

267
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: vulnerable on the ground than through the air. Aside from

268
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: shutting down Todd Gurley two weeks ago, the Ravens have

269
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: allowed one hundred rushing yards or a touchdown to running

270
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: back in each of their last four games, and Devin

271
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: Singletary averaging eighteen touches since he's supplanted Frank Gore. So

272
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: I think, but just between all the usage and the

273
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: fact he can't pass on the Ravens, Singletary has got

274
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: a reasonable chance at a good game here. We're not

275
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: going to start John Brown in a brutal match of revenge.

276
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: It is a revet. You're right, Revenge Stock. I forgot

277
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: about their revenge dock. Thank you. Revenge Duck is back um.

278
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: Over the last two weeks, he's averaging just thirty three

279
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: yards on less than three catches per game. That's John Brown.

280
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: But the important thing to know is since the Ravens

281
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: got Jimmy Smith back from injury and traded for Marcus

282
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: Peters and have had those two in the same backfield,

283
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: basically nobody passes for anything. And that's the case there. Yes,

284
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: I was thinking, just Lamar Jackson, you're toiling over starting him.

285
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: Most people who own him probably have a bye, which

286
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: is the silver line, which is absolutely great because they

287
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: need that. By this week. They might like it's danger

288
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: takes it. It could be. I mean, I just I

289
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: really think if there's one game where Lamar Lamar Jackson

290
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: has the backgame is up and I'm stilliving him an

291
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: a because he's just agreed, agreed. I'm just saying a

292
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: lot of owners. Will they have a vibe most likely

299
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: on Me. Nine players who you would not normally start,

300
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: but you can this week find out who they are

301
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly Weekly Returns.

302
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: It's called take a chance on Me. Nine players not

303
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: normally in your starting lineup, many of whom are available

304
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire. My co host and I are

305
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: going to provide three quarterbacks, to running backs, and three

306
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: receivers we believe are unusually startable this week, beginning with

307
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson in the quarterback position. Who you got all right?

308
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: We heard the revenge duck. Now I need the duck duck.

309
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: The distinction very slept between those ducks, Devlin Duck Hodges

310
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: At Arizona, this is quite simple. Arizona has surrendered the

311
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: most passing touchdowns in the league with thirty one. They've

312
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: surrendered three plus passing yunds in five straight games. Duck

313
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: has turned the tables on the Hunters because he's got

314
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: the gun. He's got a cannon, and the Cardinals have

315
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: allowed sixty pass plays of twenty plus yards. Zero Ducks

316
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: greater than Cardinals. I think if a real Duck and

317
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: a real Cardinal got in a fight, oh, I take

318
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: the Duck, I take the Cardinal. They are mean. That

319
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: is a mean, mean bird. You should see the blue

320
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: jays in my backyard. The Cardinal. Yeah, there mean to

321
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: the jerks of the avion world, for sure, they are.

322
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: You want to want to hear about another jerk? Sam

323
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: Donald was a jerk last week against Since he really was.

324
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: But he's the quarterback against the Dolphins, and that's basically it.

325
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: The Dolphins have been the slump buster uh for every quarterback.

326
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: Multiple scores for each of the following fantasy studs, and

327
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: I used that in print their quotation marks uh, Phil Rivers,

328
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: Case Keenum Mason, Rudolph Baker, Mayfield, even let Carson Wentz

329
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: get back in the positive. Last week, Donald's coming off

330
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: a bad game against the lowly Bengals and the prior

331
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: to games against Washington and Oakland. He was averaging over

332
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: three hundred yards and three scores per game. I think

333
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: Donald's probably on that again this week three three calling

334
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: it all right. I'm now I'm wondering what are slump

335
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: buster sound should be. I really hope Donald makes out

336
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: all right this weekend. I think it's gonna Ryan Fitzpatrick

337
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: goes up against the Jets in that same game, and

338
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: you know what this is, It's time for the revenge

339
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: duck as Rand Fitzpatrick takes on the Jets. He faced

340
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: the Jets in week nine two eight yards and three

341
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns for Mighty Stu Beard. Volume will be Fitzpatrick's friend.

342
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: Since Week six, opponents are throwing thirty eight passes per

343
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: game against New York. They're a great run defense. At

344
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: Miami can't run at all, and they are a terrible

345
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: past defense. And Stu Beard's the best thing going. When

346
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick throws thirty eight or more passes, he averages three

347
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: one yards. Big game coming for Ryan Fitzpatrick. Let's go

348
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: to the take a chance, I mean running backs, Brian.

349
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm staying with the Steelers and going Jalen Samuel's at

350
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: the same Arizona Cardinals of course, James Conner has been

351
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: ruled out. Yes, Benny Snill will start, but Samuels will

352
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: assume all of the third down work and could be

353
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: in line for an expanded role if Pittsburgh somehow manages

354
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: to fall behind, which isn't all that unrealistic. Um Arizona

355
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: has been been a good matchup for pass catching backs

356
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: as of late, outside of the Rams runners, who are

357
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: rarely targeted. The Cardinals yielded catch totals of thirteen and

358
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: twelve to the back fields of San Francisco and Tampa

359
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: Bay in their last two games prior to the l

360
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: A game. And then there's more receiving angles here. Juju

361
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: looking kind of dicey. He's out, He's ruled out. Okay,

362
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: my bad Vance McDonald's. Janlen Samuels might be a better

363
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: tight end than Vance McDonald is. And we all know

364
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: how tight ends do against the Arizona Cardinals. So changing

365
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: Jylen Samuel's position, all right, don't get let Yahoo know,

366
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: because they'll make anybody a tight end, or they did

367
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: last year. They've done it several times. Uh, Matt, you

368
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: take a chance to mere running back. I planted my

369
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: flag in one of the Buccaneers running backs, and so

370
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm trying to decipher this one. So hear me out.

371
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones is still the starter, but Peyton Barber shows

372
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: up and kills you ever so often like he did

373
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: last week. But the Bucks have essentially split the backfield

374
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: in games where it's close or where they're leading the

375
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: line in this game is Bucks by three show, which

376
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: should be one of those games. So what backs have

377
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: had the most success against against the Colts in recent weeks. Yes,

378
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: it's Derrick Henry, It's Carlos Hyde, alright, it's Leonard four

379
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: net bigger back, It's Trey Edmonds. All four of them

380
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: have the same thing in common there two pounds or more.

381
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones is two hundred pounds. Peyton Barber. There we go.

382
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: If it's gonna be a close game, we're looking at

383
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: both of these guys in the twelve to fifteen carry arrange.

384
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: But Barber is gonna have the success. Okay, I like it,

385
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: calling you shot um. I tweeted this earlier. I think

386
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: last Sunday. There are approximately forty million Americans and Canadians

387
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: who play fantasy football. I'm glad you kept the Canadians

388
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: in there. Well, they count a boot. They There isn't

389
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: one person who has successfully started either Peyton Barber in

390
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: all the right weeks and benched him in all the

391
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: right weeks, or Ronald Jones started him in all the

392
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: right weeks. Nobody's broken it down like I just did.

393
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: Right there. No, that's gonna be the angle right there,

394
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: might take a chance to be running back has not

395
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: scored a rushing touchdown in two years. That's Davanta Freeman.

396
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: It's come to this. It was the the playoff game

397
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: before the Minneapolis miracle. I think you're right, Um. The

398
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: Panthers are the opponent this week. They've allowed a rushing

399
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: score in eight straight games. They've given up nineteen running

400
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: back touchdowns this year. Caroline has given up at least

401
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: one hundred fifty two combo yards to their opponents in

402
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: five of the last six games. What was the one

403
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: game in the last six in which they did not

404
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: give up one hundred fifty two yards? It was the

405
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: Falcons Brian Hill and Brian Hill. Watch Brian Hill get

406
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. That I thought about that. I'm like, well,

407
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: I should just go Brian Hill right now. But Freeman

408
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: should get the majority of the work here is pedestrian.

409
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: As he's been, he should get the majority of the

410
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: work in a great matchup, Let's go to the receivers.

411
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: Who's he to take a chance of me? Receiver, Brian,

412
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: I'm staying in the desert in Arizona, but I'm going

413
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: to the other sideline with Larry Fitzgerald. I can't move

414
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: using letterally Fitzgerald as it take a chance and receiver

415
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: for a while. He has provided he say four as

416
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: of late with catch totals of eight, five and six.

417
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: But there is potential for a ceiling here, especially if

418
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: Arizona is playing from behind slot wish. Slot wide receivers

419
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: have faredwell against Pittsburgh in the last three Landry Jarvis

420
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: Landry at six or seventy six, Tyler Boyd five for

421
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: one oh one in a touchdown, and then it was

422
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry uh again or it was going you know

423
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: back in time had four for forty three and one.

424
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: Even Miami's Alan Hearns and Albert Wilson both scored from

425
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: the slot against Pittsburgh not long ago. So let's gool

426
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: Larry fits all right, I got a double bonus. Take

427
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: a chance to me, wide receiver, here. But first I

428
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: gotta ask you a question. Which one of these names

429
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: does not belong here? Zach Pascal, Marcus Johnson, Donovan Reiners

430
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: or Ashton duel in Um. All of them don't belong

431
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Three of them are coldswide receivers that

432
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: received a target last week. The fourth is a kid

433
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: from my son's soccer team. Okay, great Pascal is the

434
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: obvious play with t Y Hilton officially out, but Marcus

435
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: Johnson becomes interesting. He had six targets four receptions in

436
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: fifty five yards last week, and this week he gets Tampa.

437
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: The Bucks have allowed the most receptions and yards to

438
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: wide receivers in the second most touchdowns in the league,

439
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: with nineteen on the season through twelve games. Marcus Johnson

440
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: is even in play in a deep league. I think

441
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: we have to be very deep. But yes, bucket yours

442
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: secondary has been strangely competent the last couple of weeks,

443
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: but I don't trust it alright. Our final take a

444
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: chance of me player is a tight end. Not only

445
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: is he a tight end, he is the tight end

446
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: in that he has He's the highest scoring fantasy tight

447
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: end over the last six weeks. And he's available in

448
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: half of the league's That's Kyle Rudolph. Since Adam Feeland's injury,

449
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: he has scored six touchdowns in six games. When he

450
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 1: faced to troyd in Week seven, this week's opponent, five catches,

451
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: fifty eight yards and a touchdown for Kyle Rudolph. Since

452
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: that Rudolph touchdown in Week seven, the Lions have surrendered

453
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: four more tight end touchdowns, including touchdowns to the likes

454
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: of Foster Moreau, Ben Bronicker and Jasper horse Stead. If

455
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: those guys can score on the Lions, why not Kyle

456
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: Rudolph available in half of leagues? Those are solid NFC

457
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: North splits splits right there, Brown and Jesper what's his stead?

458
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: Yesper Harstead. Um, let's go to work. In one or

459
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: maybe even two matchups into this segment. Denver taking on

460
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans and Brian Drew Lock got his first

461
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: start last week, looked quasi competent. What do you think

462
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 1: about him this week against an inconsistent Houston Texans secondary. Well,

463
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: first off, this is the battle of teams who paid

464
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: Brock Oswiler to play football. That's a good point, but

465
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: the Texans lost that one. By a wide margin by

466
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: Start Cleveland. Like, huh picked up the tab because it's

467
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: been a while. The official name on this show is

468
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: brick Oss Wilder, so let's keep that straight my bed anyway. Uh,

469
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: you mentioned Drew Lock. I got him on the bench,

470
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: just rookie making his first road start. It's a it's

471
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: it's better than neutral matchup. But let's see what we

472
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: got here. Uh, let's go to his top receiver. Obviously,

473
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: Courton and Sutton can give him a B. He's an

474
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: automatic A with an a proven competent quarterback. Hopefully Drew

475
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: Lock can prove to be that at some point. Because

476
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: Courtlon Sutton is let. Houston has allowed the fifth most

477
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdowns on the season, but just two over

478
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: the last four games. That's said, they haven't faced anyone

479
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: quite like Sutton, so a safe B for Courtland here.

480
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to get kind of cute with Tim Patrick,

481
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: but just again, with Drew Lock making his first start

482
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: on the road, I'm gonna put him on the bench

483
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: as well. As Noah Fant was out targeted by Jeff

484
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: Human last week, and Fant can't block supposedly, and Drew

485
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: Drew Locks probably need some blockers in this game, so

486
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 1: he's on the bench. Houston has only allowed three tight

487
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: end touchdowns all season. By the way, air Ebron, Darren Waller,

488
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews Fant isn't quite in that company just yet. Uh.

489
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay, though does get a starting grade with a B,

490
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: was actually out snapped by Royce Freeman last week, with

491
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: Lindsay still had two x the touches, so I'm not

492
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: too worried about that. And the Texans have been getting

493
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: touched up by opposing backs recently over the last three weeks. Uh.

494
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: They're allowing a hundred and thirty plus combo yards in

495
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: every game to opposing running backs and six total touchdowns

496
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: to the position during that span. So a safe B

497
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: for Philip Lindsay here Over to the Houston side, and

498
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: uh to the running backs Carlos Hide and Duke Johnson,

499
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: this situation got pretty messy last week. I'm gonna give

500
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: both a sea here. Duke outtouched Tide fourteen to eleven

501
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: total ninety yards in a touchdown. Hide had twenty two

502
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: meaningless scoreless yards. So gross Hide looks tired to me.

503
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: And then he does this a lot where he wears

504
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: down Duke looks like he's got the fresher legs right now. Yeah,

505
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,719
Speaker 1: I might change my mind when I'm done with this

506
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: analysis here because outside of a monster game by Leo

507
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: four Nett in Week four against the Broncos, Denver had

508
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: been shutting down opposing running backs all season, but they've

509
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: kind of packed it in the last couple of games.

510
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: Last week Black Backs, that's the Chargers running backs total

511
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: the hundred seventy seven yards and uh, I get it.

512
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: And Buffalo Backs had a hundred seventy nine combo yards

513
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: of the week before no touchdowns there. So I'm gonna

514
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: give both a sea here because Houston should dominate time

515
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: of position. Um DeAndre Hopkins though another brutal draw after

516
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: getting Stephon Gilmore last week. Gets Chris Harris, but he's

517
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. He can't go below a season on your bench.

518
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: He still gotta start him. Well. Fuller going to give

519
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: him a sea borderline b Denver has allowed seven wide

520
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: receiver touchdowns over the last six games. Kind of shocking.

521
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: Fuller should be free from Harris uh shadow coverage, but

522
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: per usual Fullers a boom or bust option. Uh, he

523
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: will see a lot of Isaac Yam. Yes, the corner

524
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: who has a career one of the six quarterback rating

525
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: in his coverage. So a safe sea for will Fuller. Hey,

526
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: Will Fuller, how about holding on in the ball? Yeah,

527
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: how about catching a pass? That would be nice, that

528
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: would help as well. And Darren Fells he's on the

529
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: bench three or less, three less targets and four straight games.

530
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: He's irrelevant yet again. And Deshaun Watson, you give him

531
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: a b here. Denver has allowed multiple passing touchdowns and

532
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: three straight games. These these teams actually met in November

533
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: of last year and Watson had two thirteen and two

534
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: passing and thirty eight rushing yards. Probably a safe floor

535
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: for him here. That does sound about right. Um Matt

536
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: Indianapolis taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers already talked about

537
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: several players from this game. Marlon Mack is going to

538
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: be back in this one. Now, what we're not clear

539
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: about is he's got the hand in We're not clear

540
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, just this mean he goes right back to

541
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: being a workhorse or are they going to keep rotating

542
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: guys that I think that makes us a little bit murky.

543
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: It was a broken hand, so that the concern is

544
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: ball security and pass catching both. Yeah, so um, we're

545
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: probably looking at Marlon Mack who gets maybe half the touches,

546
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna get Jordan Wilkins and Jonathan Williams.

547
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: Wilkins replaced Williams last week who was benched. So I

548
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 1: have all of these guys on the bench and this

549
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: one um Tampa has allowed the fewest rushing yards in

550
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: the league to the position and only five total touchdowns

551
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: on the season, and with how murky this backfield looks

552
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: this week, they're all on the bench. Jacoby Bursett, I'm

553
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: giving a B grade to. The only quarterbacks that have

554
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: not thrown multiple touchdown passes against the Bucks in the

555
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: last ten weeks are Matt Ryan, who was replaced by

556
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: Matt shab because the Falcons were up by a ton

557
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: and the Jags quarterbacks Gardner Minshew and Nick Foles last week.

558
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: And Minshew had one forty seven and one and a

559
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: half of play, so you know, play that out. He's

560
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: got about um. So Brissett's definitely in. Jack Doyle gets

561
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: an A grade to Only the Cardinals have allowed more

562
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns to the tight end position, and we've seen this

563
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: in the past. When one of those two tight ends

564
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: goes out, the other one takes all the numbers, and

565
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: you combine those two tight ends into a super tight

566
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: end and they're good. By the way, t Y Hilton

567
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: is out, Zach Pascal and Marcus Johnson where my code.

568
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: Take a chance on me wide receivers. Pascal's probably like

569
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: a solid A A minus is B plus ish grade.

570
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm in on that. I picked him up. I'm starting

571
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: him in a playoff game, yes, right, Um, I talked

572
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: about the running backs for the Bucks, and take a

573
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: chance on me. We don't need to. I don't think

574
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm starting Ronald Jones or Daria Ogun Boala. Peyton Barber

575
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: just kind of gets a see. Mike Evans and Chris

576
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: Godwin each get A grades. Evans is third in the

577
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: league in targets inside the ten, but hasn't scored in

578
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: four straight so some positive regression is due. And from

579
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: the perimeter, both DJ Chark and DeAndre Hopkins each scored

580
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: twice against the Colts in the last three weeks. Colts

581
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: slot corner Kenny Moore is out for this game, so

582
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: Godwin will be running it back up and a made

583
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: up name from Charge Roland Milligan. Roland Milligan was burned

584
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: by former undrafted free agent and also made up name

585
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,959
Speaker 1: Cliff Raymond for a forty yard score last week. Jamis

586
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: Winston gets a B grade, mostly because I like his

587
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 1: wide receiver so much. But no quarterback has topped three

588
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: yards in the last six games against the Colts, and

589
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,479
Speaker 1: no quarterback has thrown for more than two touchdown passes

590
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: since Week three against this team. But I just gave

591
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: a grades to the wide receiver, so I got to

592
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: give at least a B to Winston and a desperation

593
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: D grade to O. J. Howard if you've got no

594
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: one else. Howard had five catches on six targets last week,

595
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: was on the field for seventy of the plays, and

596
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: the Colts have allowed the ninth most receptions to the

597
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: tight end position, So if you're really, really in a pinch,

598
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: it's it's a deep play for sure. Did you know

00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: over the here on many stations around the country, and

613
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: this show is also a podcast available every Friday and

614
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: all major podcasting platforms, including the number one destination for

615
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: a podcast, the I Heart Radio app de Troy. It

616
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: takes on the Minnesota Vikings. This one's uh. This one's

617
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: a little bit thorny with a fair number of moving parts. Here.

618
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: The quarterback for the Lions, as you probably saw on Thanksgiving,

619
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: David Blow. Now his wide receivers have strongly positive matchups,

620
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: so I'm not ruling out a decent game from him,

621
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: despite being a second start rookie going up against Mike Zimmer,

622
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: which doesn't on the face of it sound very promising,

623
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't be surprised if Kenny Golladay and Marvin

624
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: Jones at decent games here. So I've got I'm giving

625
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: a C grade to David blow Zimmer has faced four

626
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks this year. None have topped one touchdown pass,

627
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: but they've all beat him two of them. Two of

628
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: them have beaten the Vikings. Marvin Jones doesn't have any

629
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: history against the Vicings. Oh it certainly did not score

630
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: four times in the earlier matchup with the Vikings, and

631
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: I think he's got I think he's got eight touchdowns

632
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: in his last four against the Vikings. I believe yikes uh.

633
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: He will see both Trey Waynes and Xavier Rhodes. Marvin

634
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: Jones will um and they're both strong matchups. Based on

635
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: his history this year, Jones we most more oftensee Xavier Rhodes, though,

636
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: who is allowed over one hundred yards in his coverage

637
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: and back to back weeks and was benched for a

638
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: while last week. So Marvin Jones gets to be great.

639
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: He was better when he was Xavier Rhodes and now

640
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: that he's ex Xavier Rhoades, he used to be Xavier Roads.

641
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: He's an ex Xavier Rhodes. You're right, he has an

642
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: ex Xavier h Kenny golladays for him also be great.

643
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: His his rookie quarterback hit him for a seventy five

644
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: yard bomb in the second play of the game on Thanksgiving,

645
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: but he still hasn't had more than four catches in

646
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: a game in a month, which makes him very boom

647
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: or bust. Over the last four games, Minnesota has allowed

648
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: over two hundred yards per game to opposing receivers, including

649
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: allowing four receivers to top the century mark. So Gala

650
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: Day is still in play here and he could do

651
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: well again. I've got him with a B grade. Let's

652
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: go to the running game where both Scarborough will get

653
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: the start again and he's gotten nearly all the carries

654
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: since he took over three weeks ago, but he gives

655
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: you nothing through the air, So keep that in mind

656
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: if you're a PPR league. I know the Vikings just

657
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: got hammered by the Seahawks Runners, but that has been

658
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: an aberration. Minnesota hasn't allowed running back to top seventy

659
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: six yards in their five home games, and only Andy

660
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 1: Janovic has scored a rushing touchdown in Minnesota this year.

661
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: I don't even know who Andy Janovich is. A one

662
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: yard gold line plunge for Andy Janovich fullback Broncos. Let's

663
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: go to the Minnesota side where Kirk Cousins gets a

664
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: straight up A. Even without we believe Adam Theeland, who

665
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: is unlikely to play, Cousins is thrown multiple touchdowns in

666
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: four straight games and seven of the past eight games,

667
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: most of them without Adam clan In that mix of

668
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,439
Speaker 1: games was his Week seven performance against Detroit, in which

669
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: he threw for three hundred thirty eight yards and four touchdowns.

670
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 1: Every opposing quarterback except Dwayne Haskins, who does not count

671
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: since Week seven, has blown up against the Lions, averaging

672
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: three seventeen yards and three and a half touchdown passes.

673
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: It's a great opportunity for Kirk Cousins, and that means

674
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 1: I must like his receivers, and I do. That includes

675
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph, who is might take a chance of a

676
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: receiver as I mentioned earlier, and he gets a B grade.

677
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: Stephen Diggs gets a B grade. It's for Diggs. It's

678
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: been all or nothing in these games. Without feeling in

679
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 1: three of the past four games, Diggs has had fifty

680
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: yards or less receiving, and then in the other one

681
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: he went four five catches, hundred twenty one yards and

682
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Fortunately, Diggs faces a familiar opponent in the Allions,

683
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: who he pasted for seven catches a hundred forty two

684
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: yards in the Week seven matchup. To try to struggle

685
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: in pass coverage over the last three games, giving up

686
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: two hundred thirty five yards per game to receivers, the

687
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: second most over the last three weeks out of any team.

688
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: So I do think dig shakes free here. He will

689
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: get almost certainly shadow coverage from Darius Slay, But Darius

690
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: Slay just isn't a shutdown cornerback anymore. He's good, but

691
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: he's not a shut automatic, shutdown cornerback, and he's an

692
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: ex Darius Slay Exterius Slay. I like it um now

693
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: if you wanted to get really cute, and at this

694
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: stage of the year, you don't need to because you're

695
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 1: probably in the playoffs. But maybe the worst slot cornerback

696
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: in the league is Justin Coleman, who has given up

697
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: the most yards in coverage of any cornerback. He's their

698
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: slock cornerback. You could try Olabes Johnson. I do think

699
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 1: the Vikings that will move Steph Diggs into the slot

700
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: to try to abuse Coleman with Digs in that matchup.

701
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to the running backs. Dalvin Cook one percent

702
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: will play. He's got the shoulder injury but isn't even

703
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: on the injury report for the weekend. Cook smoked Detroit

704
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: in the week seven meeting for one d forty two

705
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. But since then they got Mike

706
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: Daniels back, and since getting their defensive tackle back, they

707
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: have not allowed more than seventy five yards to a back.

708
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: Cook has scored touchdowns in ten different games and Detroit

709
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: is allowed five running back touchdowns in its last four weeks,

710
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: many of them by the air, and Cook has become

711
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: a big part of the passing game. Now there's a

712
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: chance here that with the shoulder injury, Cook gets less work,

713
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: and if he gets less work, that brings Alexander Madison

714
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 1: in the conversation, I think he's startable with a C

715
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: grade here because we don't know for sure how much

716
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: work that Cook gets. And then also there's this the

717
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: Vikings are thirteen point favorites. There's a chance they just

718
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: get up by a lot. Could be a blowout. It

719
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: could be a blowout. They could end up that. It

720
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: could end up just resting Cook at some point and

721
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: it turns into a Madison game in the fourth quarter.

722
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: So I do have a C grade at Alexander Madison.

723
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: Let's go to our next matchup, that is Tennessee taking

724
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: on the Oakland Raiders. Well, Derrick Henry is the easy

725
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: part of this equation, right. I think the real question

726
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: is what does he leave? What? How many leftover points

727
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: are there for the passing game? Easy for Henry. I

728
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: just want to mention really quick, he's playing out his

729
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: rookie con tracked right now. So talk about motivation going

730
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: into the fantasy play unrestricted free agent after this year. Yep,

731
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: he's looking to get paid and he's doing a good

732
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: job of that. Future Tampa Bay buccaneer possibly. Um. I

733
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: do not like a lot of the past catchers for

734
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: the Titans. Shockingly, UM, let's start with A J. Brown

735
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: and Corey Davis. Davis is on the bench. Uh. First off,

736
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 1: let me say opposing wide receivers are seeing less than

737
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: eight team targets per game against the Raiders. Those are

738
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: not numbers for opposing receivers and in that, in that,

739
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: I mean, and if you're the Tennessee Titans, why pass? Yeah,

740
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: you're right, I mean you've got Derrick Henry an unhealthy

741
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: numbers are Davis's target total over the target totals over

742
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: the last five games. It's gone from seven to six

743
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: to five to three to two. Just drop him. He's worthless.

744
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: He's probably dropbab Dynasty leagues at this point. Yeah, I

745
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: will give A J. Brown a celough despite the low

746
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: target total by opposing wide receivers. Oakland is one of

747
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: eight teams that have allowed more than two thousand yards

748
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: and at least twelve touchdowns to wide receivers. This here,

749
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: so see for A J. Brown the number one receiver

750
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: on that team. Adam Humphrey's not going to play. I

751
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: believe I wasn't really gonna mention him anyway. He's been

752
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: a huge disappointment, huge John new Smith. I have him

753
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: on the bench, even with Delaney Walker on I R.

754
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: Anthony Firkser might actually be the tight end to start,

755
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: but you want to avoid this situation entirely. They're both

756
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: on the bench. I will give Ryan Tannehill as see

757
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: um even though it should be a Monster Henry game.

758
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: Oakland has allowed multiple multiple touchdown passes and seven of

759
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: their last nine games. The only quarterbacks who failed to

760
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: do so where Ryan Finley and of course Patrick Mahomes.

761
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: He did total to touchdown, so he didn't run one

762
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: in so see it for Tannehill. But Tannehill has had

763
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns and everyone his starts. Yeah, you know, the

764
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,760
Speaker 1: problem is he's doing it on eighteen passes, nineteen passes,

765
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: twenty passes. The low volume just caps Tannehill's upside because

766
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: they just running Derrick Henry so well, and the low

767
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: volume and the writings on the wall for that in

768
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: this matchup for sure, um over to the Raiders who

769
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: are underdogs at home. By the way, Josh Jacobs, if

770
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna if you're gonna break the show every time

771
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: and alert listeners every time the Raiders are home underdogs.

772
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't that. That wasn't the case, at least for

773
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: a few weeks when people thought the Raiders were good. Right,

774
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: they had met Trick, they were the sixth seed in

775
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs and up until for a hot minute. But anyway,

776
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs has a shoulder injury. He is a game

777
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: time decision at this point in appeared it's a broken shoulder.

778
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: It's fractured. So DeAndre Washington go out and scoop him up.

779
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna give Jacobs a B if he plays.

780
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: I'll give Washington a B. I suppose if Jacob sits.

781
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: Over the last four games, Tennessee has allowed a hundred

782
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: and forty eight combo yards and one and a half

783
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game to running backs, and Jacobs does way

784
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: better at home. By the way, even though Oakland is

785
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: a underdog. So just you got a monitor, Josh Jacobs,

786
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: he must handcuff DeAndre Washington must add Washington in all

787
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: leagues at this point. Really, who has been added a

788
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: long time ago thanks to this show is Darren Waller.

789
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: I should say drafted, not added. Waller is averaging over

790
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: seventy yards per game over the last three weeks, and

791
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: during that same span, both Travis Kelsey and Jack Doyle

792
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: top seventy receiving yards and scored a touchdown against the Titans.

793
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: Waller can do the same. Tyroll Williams, I was gonna

794
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: bench him if it Dorry Jackson plays. But Dorri Jackson

795
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: is going to miss this game. So despite not topping

796
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: six targets in six straight games, Tyroll Williams, I'll give

797
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: him a see, but you know what, he's really a

798
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: great boomer bus Are you like a high ceiling play

799
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: on fanball? In DFS, I would go out chase Tyroll

800
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: Williams in a few lineups. But despite starting Tyroll Williams

801
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: Derek Carr bench, come on, come on, it just hasn't

802
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: come together. Car was eminently startable through the middle of

803
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: the season and but just it's all, it's all feels

804
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: like it's fallen apart and you need easier matchups At

805
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: this stage, I think, yeah, there's um a couple of

806
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: wet time for one more matchup to work in Miami

807
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: Dolphins taking on the New York Jets. Matt we already

808
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 1: talked about this as a revenge game for Stu Beer.

809
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: What do you think of the other members of the

810
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: passing game and especially DeVante Parker. I think very highly

811
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: of DeVante Parker because as far as Fitzpatrick's targets go,

812
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 1: Parker has seventy seven targets for Stu Beard this year.

813
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: No other wide receiver has more than thirty three, and

814
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: he's seen double digit targets in four straight. In fact,

815
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: since Preston Williams knee injury, Parker's top five in the

816
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: NFL and targets receiving yards and air yards. So over

817
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: the last five weeks. Uh, he gets the Jets defense

818
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 1: that's allowed eight wide receiver touchdowns and that's the second

819
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: most in the league over that span. A grade for Parker.

820
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 1: Mike get Sicki gets a B grade. Gisicky has had

821
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: six or seven targets in each of the last five weeks.

822
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: In each of the last five games, a tight end

823
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: has topped forty yards or scored versus the Jets. That

824
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: includes Gisicky's six in Week nine. Um, we're not starting

825
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,720
Speaker 1: the running game though Patrick Laird is on the bench.

826
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: He's a fourth string running back going against a team

827
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: that hasn't allowed a runner to top forty four yards

828
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: since Week eight, So we're not thinking about that in

829
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: a playoff matchup. On the other side, the running back

830
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: situation is a little tricky because Levy on Bell is

831
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: a game time decision with an illness. I bet he goes,

832
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: but you plan for Bellow Powell in his absence because

833
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: if Bell doesn't go, Powell will be grade, but I

834
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: think I think Bells will be grade to um. The

835
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: Fins have had the most rushing attempts against them this year,

836
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 1: as opponents are averaging twenty seven rushing attempts per game.

837
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: That's a huge number. Bell put up a hundred and

838
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: twenty one total yards in the first meeting on twenty

839
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: five touches. Sam Donald was might take a chance and

840
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback means I like his wide receiver's Jamison Crowder.

841
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm giving an A grade to Robby Anderson. I'm giving

842
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: a b um. No team has allowed more touchdowns to

843
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position than the Dolphins twenty one so

844
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: far this year. The Dolphins have allowed nine touchdowns on

845
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: nine slot targets this year, and Crowder's running from the

846
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: slide um and I like Anderson because outside speedsters have

847
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: burned the Fins over the last few weeks. John Brown,

848
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: O'Dell and Alshon Jeffrey each had huge games against the Dolphins.

849
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 1: And then Ryan Griffin. I'm even given a B two.

850
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: He's had another seven targets last week. He faces a

851
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: Dolphins team that's allowed the sixth most yards to the

852
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: tight end position, So Griffin is available in a pinch. Yeah,

853
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: I think he is too, and I'm i gotta start

854
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: with one of my playoff leagues. I'm starting Ryan Griffin.

855
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: I think there's an opportunity here coming up. Next, we've

856
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: answered three tough questions. You get to play a lot,

857
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: try to go three and oh. We've crafted three absolute

858
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: mind benders for you to try to play along with.

859
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: It won't be easy to try to go three and oh.

860
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: Three tough questions on Fantasy Football Weekly. Next, it's Fantasy

861
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. I am pul Charchie in my co host

862
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: and for this segment, panel of experts are Brian Johnson

863
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: and Matt Harrison. Let's uh dig into three tough questions, guys.

864
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: Traditionally we like to begin on a tough question. Number one.

865
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 1: In redraft leagues, should owner who are in the consolation

866
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: bracket be allowed to make waiver wire moves? Brian, I'll

867
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: make this short and sweets. If there's anything on the

868
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: line that you can win, I don't care. If it's

869
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: a red balloon, then the answer is yes. If there's

870
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: a punishment for the last place team, then the answer

871
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,720
Speaker 1: is yes. But otherwise no, I get like, yes, everyone

872
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: should have a chance to play out the season. But

873
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: just play out the season with the players you got

874
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: and let the big boys play for the prize. But

875
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: if there's anything on the line, yes, at all. But

876
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: if there's not, no, just just sit it out and

877
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: make best with what you got. So wait, but there

878
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: is there's a consolation bracket, So there is a problem.

879
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if there's a consolation brackets. Elation bracket

880
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: is the questions and your answer is yeah, I'm gonna

881
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: assume there's a prize at the end of this braacket.

882
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: Doesn't have to be a monetary prize. Why I can't

883
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: it just be I know I won. Well, that's worthless

884
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: in my opinion, that's worthless if there's no if there's nothing,

885
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: if there's no picks, if there's if there's no, it's

886
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,919
Speaker 1: gonna brag about winning the consolation brack it. Come on,

887
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: if that's if you're going to brag about that. But

888
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: if there's a I brag about that before I brag

889
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 1: about a red balloon. But you get the red balloon.

890
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: I was I was gonna say penny instead of adonai. Okay, penny. No,

891
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 1: So no is your answer. If there's no monetary value, No,

892
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: so yes is the answer. If one one cent or

893
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: more of value, then yes yes. If there's not, then no, Yes, Matt,

894
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: my answer is similar, but I'll try to do it

895
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: more eloquently. By default, that will happen. If there's a

896
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: prideful Toilet Bowl trophy or anything on the line, you

897
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: got to allow them to play, especially if it's a

898
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: dinostair keeper league. For sure, you need to allow people

899
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: to pick up. If you believe the flip side, and

900
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: you do not believe people should be able to pick

901
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: up any players once they're out of the top bracket

902
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: in your playoff league. There should not be a consolation

903
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: bracket in your playoff league at all. They should not

904
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: be playing. You should just give him those weeks off

905
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: and say, go play on fanball and play some dfs

906
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: and win some money in the Crushed Church Championship. Um.

907
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's that's how I see it. Yeah,

908
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: you you nailed the exact right. That is exactly the

909
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: right answer. If if I if you're trying to crown

910
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: a champion and you don't want some two win owner

911
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: mucking up the waiver wire because he's trying to not

912
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: get that Toilet Bowl trophy that actually looks like the

913
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: toilet lid or whatever. They're trying to not get that

914
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: thing and they don't want to hold it for a

915
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: year or whatever, you know whatever that loser penalty is

916
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: that they've got that. Don't have the consolation bracket at all.

917
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: Don't have a loser penalty. But this question, there is

918
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: a consolation bracket. What do you here there is? So

919
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: the point is, if there is a consolation bracket, then

920
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: people are playing for something. It doesn't have to be

921
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: a money It can pride counts. They're spun up by

922
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: the fall. You know what we say. We always say

923
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: this in face football, it's not about the money. If

924
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: I were to ask you, tell me about tell me

925
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: about your fantasy football championships. You'll go, oh, well, two

926
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: thousand two, I had this team, and I went I

927
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: started this he's and nine and oh and then I

928
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: had this tough loss and I had marsh On Lynch

929
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: and he powered me to blah blah blah. It's never well,

930
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: I won four two bucks. It's not about the money

931
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: that should be tell. The point being, if owners have

932
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:17,720
Speaker 1: something anything to play for, they get to make waiver

933
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: wire moves tough question number two. For the rest of

934
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: the year, San Francisco running back where he most start

935
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: will be an RB one and r B two, A

936
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 1: flex or a bench player. Matt, you know this one

937
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: caused some severe damage to my pennial gland. Yeah, I did.

938
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: I can see, I can see it leaking out right now.

939
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean that helps me regulate my body's internal clock,

940
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: circadian rhythms, and it helps me secrete melatonin, and it

941
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: has some role in my sexual development, secreting two different ways. Yeah,

942
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: so that's that's all bad. Um. Most it's of bench grade,

943
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: as is the whole Niners run game, because you can't

944
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: figure out who the lead back is in any given week.

945
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: As I mentioned before in the matchup, three different runners

946
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: have led the team and touches in the last five weeks.

947
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: Brita gets dinged up a lot, but he also placed

948
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: through it quite often. Tevin Coleman has been bad for

949
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, but before that he was a

950
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: pretty solid RB two. If you can tell me that

951
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: both of those guys won't play at all for the

952
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: rest of the year, I'd give most dire an r

953
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:25,399
Speaker 1: B two, But as is, he's a bench player. Bench Okay, Yeah,

954
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: this week it's a brutal matchup at New Orleans Atlanta.

955
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: Next week at home, that's a good matchup, and then

956
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: the Rams in week sixteen. That's almost a blocker for

957
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: running backs. As Matt said, uh no, Loane running back

958
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: really has popped off as a bell cow all season.

959
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: On four occasions a San Francisco back has topped fifteen carries.

960
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman did it in weeks five, six, and seven,

961
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: and then Rashima raheam moster did it last week when

962
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: we had nineteen carries and Coleman only at five. If

963
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: Matt Brita wasn't coming back, I might be changing my answer.

964
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, now Bree is gonna come back and muck

965
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: this all up again. And Brita is the best running

966
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: back on the team skill wise in my opinion, and

967
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: when he's healthy, he will be the back. So I

968
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: got most of on the bench too, all right, So

969
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,479
Speaker 1: most of its averaging six yards per carry six back

970
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: to back seven yard per carry games coming into this.

971
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: He just ravaged an excellent Baltimore defense. Tevin Coleman is

972
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: not even a factor in this conversation anymore. If you've

973
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: been paying attention. You've noticed diminishing snap count in four

974
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: straight weeks and then ultimately benched in the second half

975
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: of last week's game. Tevin Coleman is just not very good.

976
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: He's not even a factor. So then that only really

977
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: leaves us with Matt Brita to sweat. Now, Brita is

978
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: good and maybe even the best back in the backfield,

979
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: like Brian just said, but does it even matter because

980
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: we all know what's gonna happen to Matt Breed to

981
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: the moment he gets more than five or six touches

982
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: in a game, he's dead. Most of the work is

983
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: gonna go to wheheem Mostred by default pre dead. San Francisco,

984
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: as a reminder, has the most rushing touchdowns in the league.

985
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: They've got They lead the NFL in running back rushing

986
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 1: yards total yards by their running backs. It's San Francisco

987
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: as the lead back in a quality offense where he

988
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: Mostred is going to be an RB two the rest

989
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 1: of the way. Shanahanigans, man, oh yeah, it's I'm not

990
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: saying there won't be your rotation. There will be some.

991
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: Moster is the kind of player that you start and

992
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: lose a fantasy playoff week because of or win or

993
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: or really really lose. Tough question number three, assuming Michael

994
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: Thomas is sitting at top pretty much everybody's cheat sheets

995
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position next August. Who will be

996
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 1: wide receiver too? M Brian, who you got? I was

997
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 1: so close to saying Mike Evans. He and Randy Moss

998
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: the only two players in NFL history with a thousand

999
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,439
Speaker 1: yard seasons in the first six seasons in the NFL.

1000
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 1: He's like a lock wide receiver ten guy. That being said,

1001
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: I want my first round wide receiver, in my top

1002
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,959
Speaker 1: wide receiver to be the alpha receiver on that team.

1003
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: And Chris Godwin kind of MUCKs up that situation for

1004
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, who doesn't have any competition at the wide

1005
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: receiver position on this the way, is this answer about

1006
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: who it's honor? Who it is? I was saying almost

1007
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: as Mike Evans, And now I'm gonna get to Davante

1008
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: Adams is my wide receiver to He has no Chris

1009
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: Godwin type threat on his team. Quite the opposite situation

1010
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. And yeah, he only has three touchdowns

1011
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 1: on the year. They have come in the last two games.

1012
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: He had sort of a slow start, but he had

1013
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,879
Speaker 1: tough matchups at Chicago and he didn't score until Week ten. Well,

1014
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: he missed five games as well. I'm gonna assume he's

1015
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: healthy all of next season. He's seen double digit targets

1016
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,280
Speaker 1: in every game since his return, at least six catches

1017
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: in every game, couple hundred yard games, and three touchdowns

1018
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: over his last two He'll be just fine going to

1019
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,760
Speaker 1: next year. Rogers has enough gas in the tank. Davante

1020
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: Adams is my number two wide receiver alright, Matt, I'm

1021
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 1: going to bat for Amari Cooper again, who I predicted

1022
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: in our bold Predictions segment at the beginning of the

1023
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: year would finish as the number one wide receiver overall.

1024
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 1: It's a kind of peacock. He's not going to finish

1025
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: number one overall. It's gonna be close, but he's he's

1026
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: number He's not. He's number three in most formats right now. Um,

1027
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: the how Boys have to move on from Jason Garrett, right,

1028
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 1: I imagine they bring in an offensive mind to help

1029
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: steer their young investments, as Dac and Cooper will both

1030
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: either sign big deals this offseason or get hit with

1031
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: the franchise and transition tags, Cooper's top ten and targets, yards, receptions,

1032
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: and receiving touchdowns. He's only twenty five years old. He's

1033
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: playing for one of the most talented offensive collections in

1034
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: the league, with a good offensive line Zeke Dack and

1035
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup on the other side. Who's a beta receiver,

1036
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: not the alpha, but he's a good beta, right, he

1037
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: doesn't he doesn't have the Godwin problem. You're absolutely right

1038
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,439
Speaker 1: about that. So I like I like Mary Cooper quite

1039
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: a bit. That is the correct answer. Mary Cooper is

1040
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: going to be the I think will be the consensus

1041
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,919
Speaker 1: number two next week or next year. Remember, he's he's

1042
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:45,959
Speaker 1: been this good this year playing on half a leg.

1043
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 1: He's limping noticeably on every single play. That's been this

1044
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: way since the preseason when he had the bad foot.

1045
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 1: And Cooper is not too old. I don't have to

1046
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 1: worry about the age drop off or the the or

1047
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: the can necessarily the camp hounding injuries of like a

1048
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: Julio Jones and it's finishing his fifth year and he's

1049
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 1: that's crazy, isn't it. Yeah, he came out so early.

1050
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,919
Speaker 1: Marie Cooper is going to be wide receiver number two

1051
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 1: next year. Nicely done. Man. When you lose Jason Garrett,

1052
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:20,839
Speaker 1: you lose your precious garbage time though, so don't uh.

1053
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: Let's let's work in one more matchup, and I believe

1054
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: we are on the Carolina Panthers taking on the Atlanta Falcons.

1055
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 1: It's Carolina good run defense. Caroline is not a good

1056
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: run defense. Christian McCaffrey's an obvious and this one, let's

1057
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: talk about the passing game. Kyle Allen gets a C grade.

1058
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: I don't think the change it head coach really affects

1059
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen much because Norv Turner and his son Scott

1060
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: Turner were responsible for developing Alan. They're still in the

1061
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: sidelines and there they were the play callers before they're

1062
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna be the play callers now. Alan played his worst

1063
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: game of the year against these same Falcons three weeks ago,

1064
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: which does worry me. Frankly. The Falcon secondary improved dramatically

1065
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 1: over their Week nine by when they used Raheem Morris

1066
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 1: as their new secondary coach. Not only have they crushed

1067
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, but they stymy Drew Brees twice since then.

1068
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: So just to see grade on Kyle Allen here and

1069
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: it's in part because I still want to be able

1070
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: to use DJ Moore. Over the past five games, d

1071
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: J Moore's average seven catches for a hundred three yards

1072
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 1: and has found paidired three times over those five games.

1073
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: Atlanta's defense has improved a lot, as I just mentioned,

1074
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 1: But why Do's are still succeeding Over the last five games,

1075
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 1: Atlanta's allowed three one yard receivers and four receiver touchdowns,

1076
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: and receivers are still getting a little something done here.

1077
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,760
Speaker 1: So I've got a a middling sea on Kyle Allen,

1078
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 1: a straight up be on DJ Moore. Curtis samuel Is

1079
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,240
Speaker 1: on the bench is a low volume, touchdown dependent receiver

1080
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: in a difficult, seemingly difficult matchup. Let's go to the

1081
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,439
Speaker 1: Atlanta side. Hold on one minute. Yes, you're burying the lead.

1082
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:51,359
Speaker 1: Caroline is not going to get the ball in this

1083
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: game because of all the onside kicks the Atlanta is

1084
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: gonna just complete. They're never kicking off ever again, not

1085
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: have to There is that um I mentioned, And take

1086
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,879
Speaker 1: a chance on me about how the Carolina the run

1087
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: defense is just awful. Carolina Jacksonville are your two terrible

1088
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: run defenses. DeVonta Freeman was might take a chance on

1089
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 1: me running back. It's a lot thornier for the quarterbacks

1090
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: in the passing game. Let's talk about Matt Ryan. Normally,

1091
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: I cautioned fantasy owners about relying on a quarterback against

1092
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: the Panthers because Carolina's got the worst run defense and in

1093
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: in league, so they don't even bother to throw. But

1094
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 1: the Falcons and DeVonta Freeman have been so inept that

1095
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: it's not a guarantee. He probably isn't gonna go like

1096
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 1: full blown workhorse on this, so I still think Matt

1097
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: Ryan could end up with a decent game here. Um

1098
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan has scored at least one touchdown against Atlanta

1099
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: in eight straight matchups, and you'll likely score here too,

1100
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be surprised we were just one touchdown

1101
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: like he threw against Carolina three weeks ago. So I've

1102
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 1: just got a C grade on Matt Ryan. Julio Jones.

1103
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 1: In his last nine meetings with the division riseing rival

1104
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: rival Panthers, Jones has had at least sixty yards and

1105
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: or a touchdown, but he hasn't very been explosive games,

1106
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: and he always seems to draw Um Bradbury, which has

1107
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 1: been a tougher matchup for him. The Panthers defense has

1108
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: fallen a part of the last four weeks, allowing a

1109
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 1: hundred seventy four passing yards per game to receivers, including

1110
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,959
Speaker 1: one hundred yard performance in three of the last four.

1111
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 1: If Julio Jones were healthy, I'd give him an A,

1112
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 1: but instead he just gets a B grade here. And

1113
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: that brings us to Calvin Ridley, who crushed Carolina for

1114
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: eight catches, one forty three yards, and a touchdown three

1115
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Meanwhile, the Panthers secondary has been in a

1116
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: free fall over the last four weeks, as I mentioned,

1117
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 1: and well, you know, Julio goes so Ridley probably is

1118
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: going to see cornerback Dante Jackson, who's just an above

1119
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 1: average quarterback. But that was the same guy that he

1120
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: beat for the for his big game three weeks ago.

1121
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,439
Speaker 1: So Calvin Ridley a B grade. Austin Hooper is coming back,

1122
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: I'll remind I'll remind listeners, Austin Hooper was the number

1123
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: one scoring tight end when he suffered his knee injury.

1124
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: He was a top ten wide receiver time nine, So

1125
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: he goes right back into being viable. Here is a

1126
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: B grade assuming he's going to get a full complement

1127
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: of plays, which I think he will. He missed the

1128
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: first meeting due to his knee injury, should return here.

1129
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: Caroline is allowing nearly sixty yards per game to tight

1130
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,919
Speaker 1: ends over the last three weeks, and Fantasy relevant tight

1131
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: ends have fared well against the Panthers. Big games to

1132
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: Jared Cook, George Kittle, even Cameron Brat o J. Howard

1133
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: combined for a good game. So we'll give it B

1134
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: grade to Austin Hooper. All right. Every week, did you

Speaker 1: looking to get the majority already of the carries for

1158
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: Steelers taking on the Arizona Cardinals. Brian Benny Snell will

1159
00:59:56,440 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: get the vast majority of carries against Arizona. What do

1160
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: you think of this opportunity for him? With James Conner out? Yeah,

1161
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: a very safe b for Benny Snell. Over their last

1162
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 1: five games, Arizona has allowed a hundred seventy two combo

1163
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: yards and one point two touchdowns per game to opposing

1164
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: running backs. But the receiving yards from those combo yards

1165
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: most should go to Jalen Samuels might take a chance

1166
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: of me running back, and you know what, he'll probably

1167
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: see a few added targets because Juju Smith Schuster has

1168
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: been ruled out, and you know Deante Johnson's I'll mention

1169
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: James Washington in a minute. Outside of Juju and James Washington,

1170
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sold on any Pittsburgh wide receiver, but James

1171
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: Washington definitely get to be here. With Juju out, Washington

1172
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: will man the slot where he will avoid Pat Pete.

1173
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson, who is still the best cornerback for what

1174
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 1: it's worth, still a shell of his former self, but uh,

1175
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 1: it's just an all around great matchup for wide receivers.

1176
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: Though Arizona has surrendered the third most catches and third

1177
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 1: most yards to the wide receiver wide receiver position on

1178
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 1: the season, and over the last four weeks, Arizona has

1179
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: surrendered the third most yards to wide receivers and the

1180
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,439
Speaker 1: only played three games over the last four week They've

1181
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 1: had their boy. So I will give Deonte Johnson a

1182
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: dart throat see in this one, but he's more of

1183
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: a flyer in daily on fanball dot com. If he

1184
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: asked me, I wouldn't trust him and redraft Um. What

1185
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: you can trust is the opposing tight end against the

1186
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. Basically, any tight end that faces Arizona is

1187
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: an automatic a start. That said, Vance McDonald just gets

1188
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: a B four targets across Ducks two starts at quarterback.

1189
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: So I'm a little worried about Vans McDonald, but he's

1190
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: a safe. He thinks Jalen Samuel's gonna steal all this

1191
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: touch And there's Nick Finnett, to who Pro Football Reference

1192
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 1: has him dubbed his baby gronk for some reason. They

1193
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 1: need to scrub that from their site. The Arizona has

1194
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: surrendered the second most catches and the most yards and

1195
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: the most touchdowns to tight end, So safe b for

1196
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: Vance McDonald. Duck Hodges might take a chance on the

1197
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: quarterback for very obvious reasons. Over to the Arizona side,

1198
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:57,919
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake the softest of seas for Kenyon here, nine

1199
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 1: two combo yards is the high water or mark for

1200
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 1: an opposing running back against the Steelers this year, who

1201
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 1: have also just allowed to running back touchdowns over their

1202
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:09,440
Speaker 1: last nine games. Drake is strictly a volume play. We're

1203
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 1: not going to talk about David Johnson, will briefly mentioned

1204
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk another very soft Sea has been running the

1205
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 1: majority of his routes from the right side, where he'll

1206
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 1: see a lot of the rejuvenated Joe Iron Hayden, who

1207
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 1: was allowing just a catch rate in his coverage on

1208
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 1: the season. He's doing He's looking great. Larry Fitzgerald, though,

1209
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 1: was a much better matchup in the slot. Slot receivers

1210
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: have been doing well. That's why he was might take

1211
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: a chance on me wide receiver. And lastly, Kyler Murray

1212
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 1: I got on the bench in one quarterback leagues. I

1213
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: will start him in super flex though, but Murray's probably

1214
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 1: still banged up in a very tough matchup. Pittsburgh ranks

1215
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: fourth against the past by football Outsiders. They are third

1216
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: in sack rate, and let's just put it this way.

1217
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: The Steelers held la Mark Jackson to a hundred sixty

1218
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: one passing yards and one passing touchdown. L Jackson did

1219
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: have seventy rushing yards, but it took him fourteen carries

1220
01:02:56,720 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 1: to get there. Murray only has fifteen combined carries over

1221
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: his last three games. So bench for Kyler Murray go

1222
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: with ste Beard or I think I think you can

1223
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 1: find so I do I'd rather have done or a

1224
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:10,640
Speaker 1: lot of other quarterbacks. And now you mentioned that the

1225
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 1: Steelers defense being so good, and it it really is.

1226
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 1: And for all the talk about Mike Tomlin is a

1227
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year candidate, which is legitimate talk, most

1228
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: of it focuses on what how he's been able to

1229
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: win despite his quarterback people are talking and running back.

1230
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: You lost Levi on bell To that was a season ago. Um,

1231
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 1: I think the more I think it's the defense, it's

1232
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: it's the defense. Well, now we're really going over the

1233
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 1: lost Franco Harris too, So it's the defense that I think.

1234
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 1: Overcame Franco Harris and that was tough. It was a

1235
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 1: tough loss. Jack Ham, Jack Lambert, Me and Joe Green.

1236
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: Really very impressive work by Mike Domblin. Uh, the defense

1237
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 1: has been very impressive. The Chargers take on the Jacksonville Jaguars,

1238
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 1: Matt and the Chargers running backs have a great opportunity

1239
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: against what is turning into one of the two worst

1240
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: run defenses in the NFL and the jack Jaguars. Well, yes,

1241
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: Brian said before, it's uh lack versus the lack backs

1242
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 1: and its lack versus Jack and Jack Without Jack Jack,

1243
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: Myles Jack Jack is out, no Jack for Jack for

1244
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 1: the lack backs. Um. The Jags have allowed six point

1245
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: one yards per carry over the last four games and

1246
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 1: seven rushing touchdowns to the running backs in that span.

1247
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: They and and as I mentioned, they lost Miles Jack

1248
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 1: to i R this week. Eckler still deserves starts in

1249
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: PPR leagues, as he's had thirteen touches in each of

1250
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 1: his last two weeks and has had at least eighty

1251
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 1: yards or a score in eleven of twelve games this year.

1252
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, I'm giving a B grade two hasn't top

1253
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: seventy one yards since Week three, and that's bad, but

1254
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: he's had at least eleven targets and four of his

1255
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:46,640
Speaker 1: last six games, and double digit targets is pretty bankable.

1256
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: And Jacksonville is just a middle of the pack past

1257
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 1: defense and their best corners are on the outside. Hunter

1258
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 1: Henry gets a B grade as well. Sixty nine nice

1259
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: yards or scored in five of his last seven games,

1260
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: and he's slotted in most lineups. Don't worry about the

1261
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 1: crappy game yet. Against the Broncos last week that was

1262
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: that was nothing. Philip Rivers is on the bench, though

1263
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: the upside seems to be gone. Hasn't topped two touchdown

1264
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: passes since Week one, only one yard game in his

1265
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: last five. Similarly, the Jags haven't allowed a three hundred

1266
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 1: yard passers since Week four and only two quarterbacks of

1267
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 1: top two touchdown passes. The upside here is two fifty

1268
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 1: and two and that's the upside. Do you buy into

1269
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 1: the Tyrod Taylor talk that that Rivers is at risk

1270
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 1: of a potential in game benching. I think the organization

1271
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: respects him too much um for them to bench him

1272
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: at all the season. The season's lost for the for

1273
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers. I think that they let him play it

1274
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: out the rest of the year, and I think Philip

1275
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: Rivers retires at the end of the season, calling you

1276
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: shot hip. Leonard Fournett gets a B grade, averaging over

1277
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 1: seven receptions per game in the last five weeks. What's

1278
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 1: more shocking that Leonard four Nett has not missed any

1279
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: time or even shown up on an injury report this year,

1280
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 1: or that he's turned into a receiving superstar this year.

1281
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 1: How about this, He trails only Christian mccau free and

1282
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 1: running back targets any trails only the off fore mentioned

1283
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:08,560
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler and Christian McCaffrey in running back receptions unbelievable.

1284
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 1: He's like Matt Qorte. Now, if he were scoring any touchdowns,

1285
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 1: it would be a whole different deal. He'd be dominating

1286
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 1: fantasy leagues. But he's not scoring. He's going to be

1287
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 1: a super interesting guy to forecast next year. Um The

1288
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 1: Chargers have allowed the eighth most receptions and the sixth

1289
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: most receiving touchdowns to opposing backs this season. That's why

1290
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,439
Speaker 1: he's getting a B grade even though he's only scored

1291
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 1: three times this year. Gardner Minshew is on the bench,

1292
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: and you know how I feel about Senior Stash, but

1293
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: even I can't play him in this game. Over the

1294
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 1: last nine games, the Chargers are averaging only a hundred

1295
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 1: and ninety four passing yards allowed per game and just

1296
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: over one touchdown per game. That doesn't get better with

1297
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 1: a healthy Derwin James and Casey Hayward in the defensive backfield.

1298
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:51,920
Speaker 1: That's why DJ Chark is only getting a C for me.

1299
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 1: D D. Westbrooks getting kind of a desperation see chart.

1300
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 1: Will probably match up with Hayward, who's only allowed two

1301
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 1: D fifty eight yards in coverage all year according to

1302
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:04,520
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, on only twenty catches. Chargers past defense

1303
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: is pretty good, but they're a bit susceptible to the

1304
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 1: slot wide receivers, so Westbrook is in play. Slot corner

1305
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: Desmond King has allowed eight six of the passes thrown

1306
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 1: in his coverage to be completed. That makes d D

1307
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: Westbrook sort of viable here, It is sort of viable.

1308
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: You mentioned the next year's ranking for Leonard four Net.

1309
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 1: Let me just tell you somebody that bugs me about

1310
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: fantasy experts this last offseason for with four Net, all

1311
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: the fans, you guys like what, he's never healthy. I can't,

1312
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 1: I can't put him in my top ten. He's never

1313
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: healthy anymore. And you know it's he's he's just too

1314
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,440
Speaker 1: it's just too much risk. Now everybody's gonna overreact to that.

1315
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 1: Now this year, it's all gonna be Now won't even

1316
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 1: matter anymore. We won't even be talking about that storyline

1317
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: that narratives will be dead one year later. Because so

1318
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 1: many people, even just just regular drafters, not even fantasy experts,

1319
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: so many drafters. All they can do is replay last year.

1320
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 1: It's just so, what's what's the amount of time that

1321
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 1: you need in order to get a good sample size?

1322
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it like three years? I don't Well, no,

1323
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: there is. How about this, there's no such things sample size?

1324
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 1: How about that there's no viable sample size in the

1325
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 1: NFL because by the time sounds like the title of

1326
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:19,720
Speaker 1: this podcast podcast, it could be by the time you've

1327
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 1: established your true viable sample size, you're now aging out

1328
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 1: to the point that you've become old and you're not

1329
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: as good and the sample size isn't true anymore. It

1330
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,759
Speaker 1: seems like we've breached the space time continuum. Here. Where's

1331
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:40,639
Speaker 1: our time machines effect? It's right here. And if you're

1332
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 1: curious about what it would sound like if there was

1333
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 1: a duck on the time machine, it would be like that.

1334
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 1: I can't blame. At the same time, it's really weird.

1335
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: Two together, Quick to the future. Good job, Brian Redskins

1336
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: take on the Packers, be grades for the running back

1337
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 1: acts for the Redskins. Adrian Peterson. Uh, you know, let's

1338
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 1: start with Darius because I think that's the bigger story.

1339
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:07,680
Speaker 1: He had the sixty yard run last week, scored a

1340
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:09,600
Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns, which is great and I think we

1341
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 1: called that on the show if I may Peacock for

1342
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:16,600
Speaker 1: a moment. However, he did his damage last week on

1343
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:21,520
Speaker 1: nineteen snaps. That's it. This is still Adrian Peterson's backfield,

1344
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,600
Speaker 1: who is only one hundred forty two yards away for

1345
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:29,240
Speaker 1: moving into fifth place all time in rushing yards. He

1346
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 1: led the Redskins backs in plays and carries last week,

1347
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: finished with ninety nine yards and a touchdown last week,

1348
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: and he goes up against the Packers defense that ranks

1349
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: twenty five in rushing yards in yards per carry allowed.

1350
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 1: Three straight lead runners have topped one total yards against

1351
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:49,439
Speaker 1: the Packers, and Adrian Peterson still the lead runner there,

1352
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:53,600
Speaker 1: but Darius Guys also gets a be because he's been dynamic.

1353
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:57,559
Speaker 1: The Packers have given up big games to multiple running

1354
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,040
Speaker 1: backs several times this year, and there is still a

1355
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 1: scenario out there where Geist is the lead back that

1356
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 1: maybe this is the game that Bill Callahan changes everything

1357
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 1: up and they give the ball to Darius Guys. Now,

1358
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 1: the hope is that the Green Bay Packers don't stake

1359
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 1: a big lead and then the running game evaporates because

1360
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 1: you get nothing out of the passing game. Needless to say,

1361
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,719
Speaker 1: you're not starting any part of the Washington passing game

1362
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They've been shut out. Dwayne Haskins have

1363
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: been shut out in every game but one, so we're

1364
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 1: not touching any part of that. Let's go to the

1365
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay side of this equation, starting with Aaron Rodgers,

1366
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,720
Speaker 1: who gets a B grade. Aaron Rodgers this year has

1367
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 1: been a boom or bust fantasy quarterback. In his four

1368
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 1: boom games, he ranks as quarterback number one. In his

1369
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 1: other eight games, he ranks his quarterback thirty seven matt

1370
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:49,720
Speaker 1: how many teams are in the NFL, not thirty seven two.

1371
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:53,759
Speaker 1: So in his other eight games, Aaron Rodgers is worse

1372
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 1: than there are numbers of starting quarterbacks in the NFL,

1373
01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:00,919
Speaker 1: like worse than Jeff Driskell. Yes, a him against Washington

1374
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 1: feels feels like a boom, but it's actually potentially a

1375
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 1: sneaky bust. Since early October, the average passing game against

1376
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:15,559
Speaker 1: the Redskins two hundred twenty seven yards and one point

1377
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Those are very modest numbers. Five of the

1378
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 1: past seven quarterbacks to face the Redskins have thrown zero

1379
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 1: or one touchdown that's it. I love a sneaky bust B.

1380
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 1: It's a sneaky bust B grade on Aaron Rodgers. Davante Adams, though,

1381
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:34,639
Speaker 1: gets an A. Over the last three games, Adams has

1382
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 1: been able to weather the ups and downs of Aaron

1383
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 1: Rodgers to produce either one yards or a touchdown. And

1384
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 1: over the last seven games, Washington secondary has allowed just

1385
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: one receiver to top just seventy six yards, which is

1386
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: very impressive. However, they have given up multiple receiver scores

1387
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 1: in two of the past three games, and I think

1388
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 1: Adams will find the end zone here. He's been very

1389
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:54,679
Speaker 1: hot on the touchdown department in the last couple of games.

1390
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: Speaking of receivers, I've got a C grade on Alan Lazard,

1391
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 1: who runs half his plays on the easy side of

1392
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 1: the field against rookie Jimmy Morland, who has taken over

1393
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 1: for the sense bench to Josh and Norman. By the way,

1394
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:11,520
Speaker 1: Josh Dormans still making like nineteen million dollars this year, unbelievable.

1395
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 1: In his two games as a starter, Jimmy Moreland has

1396
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 1: allowed nine of eleven passes to be completed, making Lazard

1397
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 1: and all or nothing shot. If you need that kind

1398
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 1: of player in your in your lineup, and let's go

1399
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 1: to the running game where Aaron Jones has been a

1400
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 1: total disaster. So if you think back, like a month ago,

1401
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 1: he has that epic game against the Chiefs where he

1402
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:37,479
Speaker 1: ends up skilled with like a hundred receiving yards and

1403
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 1: just mowing down Chiefs on the ground and through the air,

1404
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:43,360
Speaker 1: and we're like, finally they've learned how to use Aaron

1405
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 1: Jones and unlock the talent of Aaron Jones. Since then,

1406
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:50,599
Speaker 1: total tail spin for Aaron Jones. Three of his last

1407
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:56,799
Speaker 1: four games have produced fewer than forty total yards. That's terrible.

1408
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 1: And he has not scored in a month. He hasn't

1409
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:02,719
Speaker 1: carried the ball more than thirteen times in seven straight games.

1410
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 1: And the Redskins are sneaky good against the run. They

1411
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 1: just held Christian McCaffrey in check, they having allowed one

1412
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:12,639
Speaker 1: hundred yard rusher all season. I have a C grade

1413
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:14,360
Speaker 1: on Aaron Jones, and frankly it ought to be it

1414
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 1: ought to be a bench But I just said, IM

1415
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 1: an inherent believer in jones talent and think he could

1416
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 1: emerge at any game. There's a bunch of people who

1417
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 1: are very angry at their radio or podcast device right now, going, Oh,

1418
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,599
Speaker 1: Aaron Darren Jones is one of the guys who got

1419
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 1: me here. I don't did he, but did he get

1420
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:31,760
Speaker 1: you there? In the last month, he got you some

1421
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:33,720
Speaker 1: wins early in the season, he did. There's gonna be

1422
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: better options for you to play than Aaron Jones. One

1423
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 1: of them is on his own team. That's Jamal Williams,

1424
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 1: who was out gained Aaron Jones one hundred forty seven

1425
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 1: to sixty nine in combo yards the last two weeks.

1426
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 1: That is a doubling rough doubling of combo yards. He's

1427
01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: also averaged five targets over the last seven games. The

1428
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,439
Speaker 1: Redskins have given up some big receiving days to runners

1429
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 1: including Dalvin Cook and Christian McCaffrey and Devin Singletary and

1430
01:13:57,040 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 1: Brandon Bolden James White. Um So, I think we're I

1431
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,639
Speaker 1: think we're looking at a pretty good receiving game from

1432
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams, who gets a B grade here and a

1433
01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:08,760
Speaker 1: C grade in non PPR leagues. Jamal Williams is the

1434
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 1: second best receiver outright on that team outside Davante Adams.

1435
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:18,920
Speaker 1: I think that's true. It's to nobody else, it's not Gerontoo, Allison, Marquees,

1436
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:22,679
Speaker 1: Valdez scant Links, not him, Jimmy Graham. I don't know, God,

1437
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 1: that guy disappeared, remember when he was wouldn't it be

1438
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 1: cool relevant like week one? I mean, not as Minnesota guys,

1439
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: but wouldn't it be cool if the Packers signed Antonio

1440
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:31,519
Speaker 1: Brown right now? I don't think they can. I think

1441
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:34,840
Speaker 1: I think the you know, the guys who are not rostered.

1442
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:37,799
Speaker 1: Deadline is already passed. I don't get off the plane

1443
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:41,679
Speaker 1: and get right back on anyway, no kidding. Our final

1444
01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: set of matchups are coming up next, including Seattle taking

1445
01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:46,600
Speaker 1: on the L. A. Rams. What do you do with

1446
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 1: Chris Carson and Rashad Penny? We'll tell you when we

1447
01:14:49,240 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 1: come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back to Fantasy

1448
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:18,680
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Final set of matchups coming including the Sunday Night,

1449
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:21,680
Speaker 1: the Monday Night games, and then Chiefs and the Patriots

1450
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 1: coming up. But let's begin with the Seattle Seahawks traveling

1451
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:29,240
Speaker 1: to the L. A. Rams Brian Last week on Monday Night,

1452
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 1: we saw both Rashad Penny and Chris Carson carve up

1453
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:37,240
Speaker 1: a really good Vikings run defense. They face another good

1454
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 1: run defense here. What should our What should the people

1455
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 1: in Seattle listening to us on kJ R think about

1456
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny and Chris Carson in this one? Before I

1457
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 1: get to them real quick, these teams didn't meet already

1458
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 1: in week five, so all reference to that points in

1459
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 1: that game two meetings last year sixty seven and sixty

1460
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 1: four points these teams get together, so game stack, game

1461
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:02,440
Speaker 1: stack might be right. So in the week five meeting, um,

1462
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 1: Chris Carson definitely led the way over a Shot Penny,

1463
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:07,040
Speaker 1: but they did combine for thirty six touches and a

1464
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty plus combo yards. But the Rams run

1465
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:13,519
Speaker 1: defense has showed up a lot, and as we all

1466
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:16,759
Speaker 1: know now, it's essentially a fifty fifty time split between

1467
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 1: Carson and Penny. And Carson supposedly let Penny score the

1468
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 1: touchdown last week. I don't know how much like like that.

1469
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,080
Speaker 1: He's like taking me out so ra shot can go. Yeah,

1470
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: there was there was some of that. It was Carson

1471
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 1: subbed himself out. Okay. So over the last four weeks, though,

1472
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 1: opposing running backs are averaging thirty plus opportunities against the Rams.

1473
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 1: That's rushes and targets, but they're not doing anything with them.

1474
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,719
Speaker 1: During that same four game stretch, the Rams are allowing

1475
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 1: less than three and a half yards per carry and

1476
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 1: twenty nine receiving yards per game to opposing running backs.

1477
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 1: So I gotta see on both Carson and Penny, and

1478
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 1: Carson had like three more three four more touches, and

1479
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: Penny last week, I get him the slight edge if

1480
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 1: I had to choose one, but it's not a good

1481
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 1: look for either this week. What wasn't a good look

1482
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:59,599
Speaker 1: was Tyler Lockett last week, nowhere to go but up

1483
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: right after zero catches. I heard from a guy on

1484
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 1: Twitter in a guillotine league. He needed zero points seven

1485
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 1: points from Tyler Lockett on Monday Night. One catch there's

1486
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,799
Speaker 1: actually he really needed was one catch for even negative

1487
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:15,760
Speaker 1: three yards would have been a win. One catch for

1488
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: negative three yards would have been a win for him.

1489
01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:19,559
Speaker 1: And he's in a bad beat. That's a bad beats,

1490
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:22,639
Speaker 1: a very bad beat. Actually, he could go nowhere sick

1491
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,719
Speaker 1: in that one. And he's been sick for three weeks

1492
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 1: a shin injury. He's banged up. He actually had negative

1493
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:32,439
Speaker 1: eight rushing yards in the first meeting. So if he

1494
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 1: he didn't catch and he passes, he would end up

1495
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 1: doing worse. But he had four catches for fifty one

1496
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 1: yards any touchdown in the first meeting. Jalen Ramsey was

1497
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:44,680
Speaker 1: not on the Rams. Then Ramsey might shadow lock It

1498
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:46,600
Speaker 1: in the slot, which would not bode well for lock It.

1499
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:49,679
Speaker 1: They're saying there's a potential for that. Lockett has scored

1500
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 1: in three straight games against the Rams. But just to

1501
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 1: see for him here, because I think Ramsey gives him

1502
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: the shadow treatment, and Lockett's looking banged up. He's not

1503
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 1: looking as good as he was earlier in the year.

1504
01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 1: So call him Decalf Metcalf. You know Decalf Metcalf is Well, yeah,

1505
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 1: that's the bad version, the uncalfeated vision. Okay, that's also

1506
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:08,719
Speaker 1: a booger. Mcc was calling him on Monday Night Football.

1507
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,640
Speaker 1: But what is he trying to? Yeah, okay, I think so.

1508
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 1: I think you never know, you never know. But anyway, um,

1509
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a be assuming that Ramsey shadows

1510
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,679
Speaker 1: lock It. But if Ramsey shadows Metcalf, Metcalf's in trouble.

1511
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 1: Metcalf has been a very reliable option as of late,

1512
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 1: averaging five catches, sixty yards and half a touchdown over

1513
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:30,799
Speaker 1: his last six games. But not an ideal spot outside

1514
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 1: of the four wide receiver touchdown surrender to the Ravens

1515
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 1: kind of an anomaly. The Ravens have conceded just one

1516
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:38,479
Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdown over their last six games, and only

1517
01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:41,920
Speaker 1: one opposing wide receiver has topped one hundred yards all year.

1518
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 1: That was Chris Godwin. So you know what I'm just

1519
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 1: going to be for Decalf, dk Metcalf as well. Uh.

1520
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 1: He gets a c as long as as well as

1521
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett, and so does Jacob Hollister. The Rams have

1522
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: not allowed tight end touchdown since Week seven, and since

1523
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:58,440
Speaker 1: then only one tight end as topped forty five yards.

1524
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, will disially in. Luke Wilson combined

1525
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 1: for five catches for nine yards when these teams met

1526
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 1: back in Week five, so it is worth a fair amount,

1527
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:08,680
Speaker 1: so Hauser probably c Plus, I know you won't let

1528
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 1: me do that, but I just did it. Uh. And

1529
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,679
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in a to and four passing with thirty

1530
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:16,519
Speaker 1: two rushing yards in the first meeting, totaled seven passing

1531
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns against the Rams and two games last season. The

1532
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:22,640
Speaker 1: main concern is Jalen Ramsey, of course, since his acquisition,

1533
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 1: non Lamar Jackson quarterbacks have averaged only two thirty yards

1534
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 1: and one touchdown since the Ramsey trade. Wilson is probably

1535
01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 1: a little more Lamar than Non though, but a littlettle

1536
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:35,880
Speaker 1: more Lamar than none. Now over the Rams side and

1537
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley two rushing touchdowns in the first game kind

1538
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:43,919
Speaker 1: of a shocker. Just fifty one yards on fifteen carries.

1539
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:47,320
Speaker 1: That would be believable. Sadly, in Curly's previous three games

1540
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 1: against Seattle, though, dating back to last year, dominated eight

1541
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 1: total touchdowns. So he has ten touchdowns in his last

1542
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: four games against the Seahawks. But of course he was

1543
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 1: a different player back then. Malcolm Brown wasn't vulturing touchdowns.

1544
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 1: Seattle has the only allowed one running back touchdown over

1545
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 1: the last three games, and Nick Chubb is the only

1546
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: loan running back who is able to top sixty nine

1547
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,720
Speaker 1: yards rushing. That is not nice. So just a C

1548
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,400
Speaker 1: for Todd Gurley. I will give Cooper Cup a very

1549
01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:15,960
Speaker 1: solid B. Nine catches, a hundred and seventeen yards and

1550
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown in the first game. Here is two games

1551
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:20,760
Speaker 1: against Seattle last year. He had six for nine and

1552
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:22,920
Speaker 1: one in the first meeting, but left with the concussion.

1553
01:20:23,720 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 1: Second game, he had five for thirty nine, tore his

1554
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:28,680
Speaker 1: A c L mid game, so he was going off

1555
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: in those games where he got hurt. So B for Cup,

1556
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 1: B for Robert Woods. Uh just five for forty eight

1557
01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 1: in the first meeting, but as thirty eight targets over

1558
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 1: his last three games, he will see Shaquille Griffin a

1559
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 1: lot to Seattle's top corner. So soft be for Woods,

1560
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 1: I gotta be inch on Brandon Cooks one nine in

1561
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:47,960
Speaker 1: the first meeting, just four catches on six targets and

1562
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 1: two games since returning. Actually a plus match up against

1563
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 1: Trey Flowers, who could be burned deep. But I don't

1564
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 1: trust Jared Goff's accuracy. Tyler Higbee Jerald Everett. There's two

1565
01:20:56,920 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 1: scenarios here. Everett plays, Everett sits. If every plays, I'll

1566
01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 1: give him a see Ben Higby, Okay, if every six

1567
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:07,719
Speaker 1: Higby gets a B. Over the last two weeks, opposing

1568
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 1: tight ends are averaging thirteen catches ninety four yards of

1569
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:12,640
Speaker 1: one whole touchdown against Seattle. When these teams met in

1570
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:15,240
Speaker 1: Week five, Higby and Gerald Edward combined for ten catches

1571
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:17,799
Speaker 1: a hundred eighty three yards. He's that was all general,

1572
01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 1: Gerald Everard. That was a huge Gerald Everard game. That's right,

1573
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 1: So if you plays that really MUCKs the situation up. Though,

1574
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:25,760
Speaker 1: then Jared Goff real quick a C three and one

1575
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:27,679
Speaker 1: in the first game, top three hundred yards in both

1576
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 1: meetings last season. He's at home. I'll give him a

1577
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:32,280
Speaker 1: sea whatever. Alright, let's go to the Giants taking on

1578
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Matt Eli Manning at the helm of the Giant. Yeah,

1579
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 1: this one's Monday Night. He looks to get at least

1580
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 1: one more start in his long and storied career because

1581
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is in a walking boot this week and

1582
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:44,760
Speaker 1: he's unlikely to go. Before Ryan Fitzpatrick's explosion against the

1583
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 1: Eagles last week, they had kind of figured out how

1584
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 1: to play past defense, and the prior five weeks they

1585
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 1: had held opposing quarterbacks two d eighty nine yards per

1586
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,639
Speaker 1: game in less than a touchdown. And it wasn't some

1587
01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 1: bad quarterbacks, it was Doc. It was Josh Allen, Tom

1588
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:00,880
Speaker 1: Brady and Russell Wilson and that girl. Some good pastors there, yep.

1589
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,599
Speaker 1: So I'm still giving Eli a bench grade though, because

1590
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 1: he's Eli Manning. Um Golden Tates supposedly on track to

1591
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 1: play on Monday Night Football, which just muddies the waters

1592
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 1: for Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepherd. They're all on the bench.

1593
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,400
Speaker 1: Davante Parker is the only wide receiver to top sixty

1594
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:17,479
Speaker 1: one yards in the last five games against the Eagles,

1595
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 1: and Eli's yards per attempt is a terrible six point

1596
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: two yards and his passes of over twenty yards is

1597
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:25,680
Speaker 1: only seven point nine percent, which is a full point

1598
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:28,760
Speaker 1: worse than Marcus Mariota. For what it's worth, Shepherd was

1599
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 1: Eli's favorite target in Week one six for forty two,

1600
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 1: but that's probably the ceiling there. Evan Engram is trending

1601
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:37,000
Speaker 1: in the right direction to play. He's getting a B

1602
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 1: grade because the theme of this is Eli doesn't throw

1603
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:42,439
Speaker 1: a very fair down field, which bodes well for Ingraham,

1604
01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 1: who saw twenty two targets in Eli's two starts that

1605
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:48,760
Speaker 1: included eleven for one sixteen and one in Week one

1606
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:50,760
Speaker 1: six for forty eight and Week two, so it's a

1607
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 1: decent floor. And Sea Kwan gets a B grade as well.

1608
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:56,240
Speaker 1: Um The Eagles have allowed the tenth most receptions to

1609
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:58,960
Speaker 1: the running back position and they haven't faced Sa Kwan

1610
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 1: or the Giants this year. But se Kwon did face

1611
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:03,679
Speaker 1: them last year. He had one forty one and two

1612
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:07,400
Speaker 1: scores in the first game to nine and a score

1613
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:10,240
Speaker 1: in the second game. That's numbers seem unreal for the

1614
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:12,640
Speaker 1: stake Kwon Barkley We've had this year. It does, but

1615
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 1: he's still You're still firing up sa konof. But it's

1616
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 1: a tough it's a tough matchup for him that maybe

1617
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,400
Speaker 1: it's not as tough. I think it's tough. On the

1618
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 1: other side, Miles Sanders gets a B grade. Jordan Howard

1619
01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:27,679
Speaker 1: still limited with the shoulder injury, and if he does

1620
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:30,680
Speaker 1: suit up, I suppose that dropped Sanders to a C H.

1621
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:33,200
Speaker 1: The Giants have given up three huge games to backs

1622
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:36,320
Speaker 1: this year, Dalvin Cook, Zeke Elliott and Chase Edmonds, but

1623
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:39,559
Speaker 1: have been pretty good mostly outside of that. Sanders had

1624
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:41,840
Speaker 1: a career high twenty two touches last week and top

1625
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,599
Speaker 1: tw hundred total yards and scored. J G. I doesn't

1626
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:46,600
Speaker 1: scare anybody. He's not even in the in the in

1627
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:50,599
Speaker 1: the mentionable station, Carson Wentz, I'm giving a B grade.

1628
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:52,759
Speaker 1: Three of the last five quarterbacks to face the Giants

1629
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 1: have thrown for at least three touchdown passes in the

1630
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:58,479
Speaker 1: other two were too bisky. And and Sam Donald each

1631
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 1: had over two thirty one sing score and both of

1632
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 1: them added a rushing score. And Wentz is uh, he's

1633
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:06,480
Speaker 1: got the ability to do a rushing score here. Uh,

1634
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:08,400
Speaker 1: this is a good matchup. I'm in on Wentz, I'm

1635
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:10,880
Speaker 1: in on Alshon Jeffrey two, He's an A grade. It

1636
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 1: looks like Nelson Aguar may miss this game with a

1637
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:15,320
Speaker 1: knee injury, which only frees up more targets for al Shan.

1638
01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 1: Last week he returned from an injury in a big way,

1639
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 1: sixteen targets, nine receptions, one seven and one. Finally, the

1640
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 1: tight end, Zach Ertz gets an A. Dallas Goddard gets

1641
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 1: a B. The Giants have been good against the tight

1642
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 1: end this year, but they faced no one at all.

1643
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 1: The best tight end they faced all year is either

1644
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph or Jason Witten. They faced nobody. Arts is

1645
01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: averaging ten and a half targets per game over the

1646
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:41,800
Speaker 1: last four. Godard's averaging seven targets per game over the

1647
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:44,559
Speaker 1: last three. Fire them both up. Alright, deal, and our

1648
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:46,719
Speaker 1: final game is Kansas City taking on the New England

1649
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:50,439
Speaker 1: Patriots and For Patrick Mahomes, it's it was barely an

1650
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 1: A grade and it really vastly between A and B

1651
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:54,080
Speaker 1: for a long time here. I gave him the A

1652
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: because I think he's completely healed from his ankle and

1653
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:58,400
Speaker 1: his knee injuries, and the mobility unlocks a lot of

1654
01:24:58,439 --> 01:25:01,680
Speaker 1: his passing upside. But it's still tons of caution here

1655
01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 1: against the Patriots defense that is not locked down other

1656
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:09,920
Speaker 1: quality passers like Ben Roethlisberger in Week one, Dak Prescott,

1657
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:13,599
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, Lamar Jackson. Those guys passed for an average

1658
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:17,600
Speaker 1: of two hundred sixteen yards and zero point five touchdowns,

1659
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:20,800
Speaker 1: so there's no guarantees. But it's still Patrick Mahomes and

1660
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 1: nobody be surprised to do for three and three, including me,

1661
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:25,799
Speaker 1: so he still gets an A grade. Travis Kelsey obviously

1662
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 1: a grade. Over half of the Patriots passing touchdowns allowed

1663
01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 1: have gone to tight ends. Travis Kelsey definitely in play

1664
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:35,720
Speaker 1: here again. Tyreek Hill sums to a B because he's

1665
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 1: gonna draw Stephan Gilmore, who is arguably the league's best

1666
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 1: cornerback and frankly a defensive m VP candidate. For Stephan Gilmore,

1667
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 1: is there a defensive end of here just defensive player

1668
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 1: of the year. I think it's just defensive player of

1669
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,720
Speaker 1: the year. Gilmore almost always shadows and Tyreek Hills the

1670
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:53,879
Speaker 1: obvious guy to shadow here, so it's and he's averaging

1671
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:56,959
Speaker 1: a scoreless thirty four yards per game in his coverage,

1672
01:25:57,080 --> 01:26:00,360
Speaker 1: so it's a brutal matchup for Tyreek Hill. Then we

1673
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:03,200
Speaker 1: go to the running game. It's gonna be a two

1674
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:07,120
Speaker 1: man backfield in Kansas City between Darwin Thompson and Leshawn McCoy.

1675
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:09,120
Speaker 1: The two Williamses have been ruled out of this game.

1676
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:11,960
Speaker 1: Last week we got our first long look at Darwin

1677
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:14,360
Speaker 1: Thompson and to me, he passed the eye test and

1678
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:17,559
Speaker 1: looked far more electric than Leshawn McCoy. The Patriots, though,

1679
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:19,680
Speaker 1: are not an ideal matchup, but the run defense has

1680
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 1: been un characteristically wobbly of late. Over the last five games,

1681
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 1: they have allowed one hundred thirty nine total yards per

1682
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:30,760
Speaker 1: game to opposing runners. So if we call that one

1683
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:34,759
Speaker 1: in thirty nine seventy for Darwin Thompson seventy for Lashawn McCoy,

1684
01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 1: if it isn't even split, they both get basically see

1685
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:40,080
Speaker 1: grades here. Somebody gets a touchdown out of this thing,

1686
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 1: and it's not necessarily Leshawn McCoy, by the way, he

1687
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:45,720
Speaker 1: has scored him back to back games, so he probably

1688
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:48,320
Speaker 1: would get a goal line opportunity. But I'll mention the

1689
01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:50,720
Speaker 1: Patriots have given up one rushing touchdown all years, so

1690
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 1: there probably isn't a goal line opportunity to be had

1691
01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: here at all. Can go more? A little more love?

1692
01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:57,400
Speaker 1: Real quick? Yeah? How much more love do you need

1693
01:26:57,439 --> 01:27:00,160
Speaker 1: than its averaging a scoreless thirty four yards per game

1694
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:03,479
Speaker 1: in his coverage recent in the last month. About the

1695
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:06,600
Speaker 1: last month, Odell Beckham, Mariti Cooper DeAndre Hopkins. If you

1696
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:12,559
Speaker 1: combined for ten catches Tyreek Hills an amazing player, you're

1697
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 1: gonna you have to be careful here. All right, let's

1698
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:17,360
Speaker 1: go to the New England side. We begin with the

1699
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 1: running game with Sony Walkman, Kansas City allowing the seventh

1700
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:23,559
Speaker 1: most carries for the second most yards and five point

1701
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:28,520
Speaker 1: one yards per carry. Fire up, Sony Walkman. Put the batteries,

1702
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 1: the double A batteries and you're Sony Walkman. You are.

1703
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 1: And by the way, back then it took like six

1704
01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:36,519
Speaker 1: double A batteries to work your cassette player. I really

1705
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:39,479
Speaker 1: liked the auto reverse on the Sony Walkman that would

1706
01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:41,880
Speaker 1: start playing the other side of the table flip. You

1707
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to flip it right, it flipped itself. He

1708
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:47,720
Speaker 1: crushed Kansas City in the two games last year as well.

1709
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:50,000
Speaker 1: He gets a B grade. James White gets a B

1710
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 1: grade because this is this is the fascinating thing about

1711
01:27:52,439 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 1: James White this year. In the games in which they're trailing,

1712
01:27:57,360 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 1: he's been fantastic, So I think he's got an opportunity here.

1713
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:02,160
Speaker 1: He averages a hundred thirty one yards and one and

1714
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:04,800
Speaker 1: a half touchdowns, and games that they're trailing, he gets

1715
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 1: a B grade. Tom Brady has thrown zero or one

1716
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:10,000
Speaker 1: touchdown in five of seven games. Kansas City has allowed

1717
01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:13,040
Speaker 1: zero or one touchdown in eight of their games this year,

1718
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 1: So I think you're just getting zero or one touchdown

1719
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:18,320
Speaker 1: against a good, a good past defense from Tom Brady,

1720
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:20,120
Speaker 1: and he just gets a C grade. And the only

1721
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:23,759
Speaker 1: receiver you dare start is Julian Edelman, who's now commanded

1722
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:26,679
Speaker 1: double digit targets in a career high seven straight games

1723
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:29,800
Speaker 1: and is averaging eighty three yards on eight catches per

1724
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:33,120
Speaker 1: game with three scores in that span. He remains startable

1725
01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:36,200
Speaker 1: with a B grade. If you love this show, please
