It is time for a 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:28.640 playoff edition of America's longest running fantasy show, Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.000 I am your host, Paul Charchy, and my co host 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:34.360 today are Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson. Hello, guys, what's up? 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.120 At what point do we apologize to Mitch Rubisky about 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:41.280 his Thursday night performance? Do we? We don't have to apologize. Yeah, 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.640 we didn't call bad. You're coming. It sounds like a 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.160 happy trombone ski right there. What I what I'm really 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:53.120 disappointed in is I've got this great, horrible trombone solo 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:54.880 and I've only been able to use it one time 0:00:54.920 --> 0:01:01.560 because Mitch has been good. Come on, Mitch, I bring 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:06.720 back this version of Mitch Robisky. He's got the vikings 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:12.400 coming up. That's gonna be uh um. I think he's 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.520 got chiefs and actors next week. Now we're here this year. 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.280 We are here this year at Yeah, we're kind of 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.520 always here. That's right, um, as always. We're gonna break 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.360 down every game, well not the Thursday game that already happened, 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.040 but I got a good feeling Mitch Robisky is gonna 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:28.880 have a good game. We're gonna give you letter grades 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.960 on every player, will give you our rationale for every grade, 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:33.640 so you can decide whether or not you're on board 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:35.480 with us. A few minutes from now, we're gonna give 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:37.160 you nine guys upon whom you can take a chance. 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.880 Many are available on the waiver wire. A little later on, 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:45.560 we'll have three tough questions answered for you, and we'll 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.840 run through all of the matchups. Get you ready for 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.320 the playoffs. Guys, what I what I always love is Okay, 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:55.320 it's the playoffs that means this really counts. I need 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.840 you to give your very best possible. Yeah, we were 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.800 given the crap analysis are I feel like you were 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.920 trying the rest of the year. Yeah, but now I 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.560 really love getting that on Twitter. You really need this one. 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.639 It's the playoffs. Gotta do better. Uh, let's jump. Let's 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.040 jump right into the matchups. Our first matchup is with 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:16.320 Brian Cincinnati taking on Cleveland. Cincinnati is your adopted squad. 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:22.440 For Joe Mixon, it's been He's slowly gotten better over 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.520 the course of the year too. Now to this point 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:28.120 he's got my highest ranking of the entire season in 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.600 this matchup. What do you think about Joe Mixon this week? Yeah, 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.880 speaking of doing better, Joe Mixon has scored in four 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.880 of his last six games, but not an ideal spot 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.480 to stay hot this week. Over their last five games, 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.760 Cleveland is holding opposing backs under one Combo yards per 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.400 game and they've allowed just three total touchdowns over those 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.760 five games to running backs. But you have to play 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.160 mixing on volume. Malone's We'll give him a B here. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:54.240 Also gonna give Tyler Boyd b borderline A slot. Receivers 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.640 James Washington and Alan Herns have scored against the Browns 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.200 over the last two weeks, and Tyler Boyd has scored 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.600 in his last two games against the Browns. So boom, 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.560 let's make it an A for my boy, Tyler Boyd, 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.440 A J Green, John Ross, Auden Tate. Let's talk about 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:10.520 these guys. Green won't play John Ross might. I think 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.440 he's going to get at least sometime in this game. 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.840 Tate definitely will, But I'm not starting any of these guys. 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.400 That Browns have allowed just one boundary receiver to score 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.959 over their last six games, and that was Courtland Sutton. 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.480 The cordon or duo of Greedy Williams and Denzil Award 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.239 is legit. So they're all on the bench. Boyd is 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.440 the only wide receiver I'm playing. Tyler Eifert two touchdowns 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.359 the last time he faced the Browns on December eleven. 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.760 I was just gonna gas. Okay, he's been that long 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:37.640 since he's seen the Browns. He's on the bench. He's 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.280 dead to us. Andy Dalton on you give him a 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.960 see multiple touchdown passes and six of his last seven 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.960 games against the Browns. If Marcus Mariotta, Jared Goff, Brandon Allen, 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.440 who's Jared Goff on the road? I believe Brandon Allen 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.560 and Ryan Fitzpatrick can throw multiple touchdown passes against Cleveland 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.280 this season. I think Dalton has a chance to over 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.120 to the Cleveland side. Nick chob can give hi An a. 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.800 The last running back to score through land or error 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.160 against the Browns was mark Ingram in Week ten, so 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.200 they've been kind of tough against the run since then. 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.920 They've blanked the likes of Josh Jacobs, Benny Snell, and 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.920 Levy on Bill. But opposing backs are still leading, are 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.440 still averaging a hundred combo yards per game, so Chubb 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.600 gets an A and Kareem Hunt will get a B. 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.160 Opposing backs are averaging five plus catches against Cincinnati over 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.760 the last three weeks, and during that span Hunt has 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.919 caught thirteen passes while Nick Chubb has just four catches, 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:26.599 So easy hunt for B for hunch, maybe an A MPPR. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.840 Even I'm gonna haven't mentioned the wide receivers now, and 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:31.839 the first one I'm gonna talk about his Jarvis Landry 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.680 while he's the leading receiver sixty five catches, nine nineteen yards, 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:40.200 five touchdowns for Landry, seven eight oh five and two 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.840 for Beckham. Brutal uh. Cincinnati is the only team in 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.760 the NFL with an opponent passing play percentage under fifty 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.880 though that doesn't bode well for either of these guys 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.560 or the passing game. Landry has been red hot, garnering 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.120 ten plus targets and five of his last six. He's 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.560 moved around quite a bit, but should still run primarily 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.200 out of from the slot world see Darky's Dennard who 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.960 has allowed just ten of eighteen passing for ninety yards 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:05.159 and no touchdown. So he's good. I think he's truly 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.360 a slot corner and whenever they try to play him 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.880 elsewhere it doesn't work out. But in the slot, den 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.240 Art is very good. Agreed and uh so this is 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.680 a better matchup for Odell Beckham um probably one of 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:17.599 the better matchups of the season four him. But again 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.320 the volume is a concern, but opposing wide receivers are 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.880 averaging under seventeen targets per game against the Bengals, not 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.120 a lot of volume, but Robby Anderson had seven catches 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:27.960 for a hundred and one yards last week. Beckham can 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.039 do the same, one would think. David and Joku not 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.960 activated yet, so we're not going to talk about him much. 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.400 But he still has Arizona next week, so he's worth 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.480 Mosterick and pick him up now for that Arizona matchup 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.320 next week. You know you got a figure for those 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.680 that are still allowed to make waiver moves. He'll be 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:46.520 a hot waiver wire guy next week. So if you 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.920 wanted Joku for free, effectively, go pick him up now. 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:51.840 I should. I didn't mention though I gave a B 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.000 to both Landry and Beckham and Baker. Mayfield also gets 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.039 a B two eighty four and three and two fifty 0:05:58.080 --> 0:05:59.920 eight and four in the two games. Again since the 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.200 last season. This is the first meeting, by the way, 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.520 very late for a divisional the first divisional matchup. But again, 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.040 how much will the Browns need to pass in this one? 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:12.480 The Bengals understandably limited Sam Donald the combo of Duck Hodges, 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.760 Mason Rudolph and Derek cart in recent weeks, but they're 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.640 still ranked thirty one against the past by football outsiders. 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.040 Baker should do fine, but his ceilings a little caps here, 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.080 just to be all right, Uh, Matt, let's move over 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.080 to San Francisco taking on the Saints, as are two 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.760 good defensive teams. And let's start with the forty Niners 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:32.720 side of this one where he mostarred splashed big time 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.960 last week. We're gonna talk about him in depth a 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.279 little later. What do you think of where he mostred 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:38.919 in the rest of the running game for the forty 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:40.800 Niners in this matchup? So I was gonna say this 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.279 is a really good reality game, but a pretty bad 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.000 fantasy game for the most part. Here Um, I got 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.640 all the running backs on the bench because it's Shannahannigans 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.400 all over again. Touch leaders in the backfield over the 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.920 last five weeks have been Brita, Brita, Coleman, Coleman, Mostart, 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.640 and now Jeff Wilson is back involved again to most 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.919 Are huge day last week was the only back in 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.520 that span the topped eighty rushing yards for the Niners. 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.400 No back has topped eighty three yards in the Saints 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.440 all year, and they've only allowed one rushing score to 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.000 running back in the last seven games. So they're all 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.400 on the bench. Um, I don't really like much in 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.200 the passing game either. I'm giving Jimmy Garoppolo a bench grade. 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.120 Garoppolo has put up three big games this year. They 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:25.000 were two against the Cardinals and one against Cincinnati. In 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.320 his other nine games on the season, he's averaging two 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.080 hundred six yards and one point one touchdowns per game. 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.560 So unless you had the number one overall pick last 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.400 year or the number one overall pick this year, he's 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.320 not doing We're very well against right, Yeah, so we 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.880 should call him Jimmy three pretty much three good games. Uh. 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:43.960 The Saints have allowed multiple scores to each of the 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.360 last four quarterbacks they faced, and two of those four 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.520 of top three yards. But I still don't think Jimmy 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.880 g is getting it done. George Kittle, I am giving 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.600 an A grade. Two Kittles topped eighty five yards or 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.480 scored in five of his last seven and the Saints 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.400 have given up four relevant fantasy days to tight ends 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.360 in the last four weeks. So Kidles just an auto start. 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.480 Emmanuel Sanders gets to see Deebo Samuels on the bench. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.360 Sanders led the team in targets and catches last week, 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.560 but that was only six and four, respectively. He seems 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.920 to be over the rib injury, but he's not over 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:16.320 Marshawn Lattimore, who he should draw shadow coverage from this week. 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.400 On the Saint side, Michael Thomas easy a. I am 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.480 giving an A grade to Alvin Kamara as well. And 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:27.160 there's there's okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna get right into 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.080 all the shade that needs to be thrown here alright. Um, 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.360 he hasn't topped a hundred rushing yards all year. He's 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.240 scored only twice, both in one game. Yes, on the 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.679 positive side, running back has topped eighty total yards on 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.600 the Niners, and six of the last seven weeks that'll 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:45.199 be Kamara, and Kamara has seen reception totals of eight, ten, nine, 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.280 and four in the last four weeks. Those are huge 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.000 reception totals, and in PPR leagues, he's still just an 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.680 auto start. I think he's an a start. Nobody in 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.080 the in the playoffs right now is thinking about benching 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.680 Alvin m Nobody's got Alan Camara in the playoffs because 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:04.680 they're all out. Maybe, um, did you good job, Drew Brees. 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.560 I'm only giving a C grade two. Over the last 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.120 eleven games, the Niners are only allowing a hundred and 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.840 forty three passing yards and under a touchdown per game 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.800 to opposing quarterbacks. The only quarterbacks who have burned the 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.560 Niners over the last two months were the mobile Lamar 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:22.319 Jackson and the mobile Kyler Murray twice. Drew Brees mobility 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.640 might be improved if he played with one of those 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.160 hover around electric wheelchairs. I think that that might help him. 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.360 Jared Cook, also on the bench, the Niners have been 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.600 awesome against the tight end this year. Only two tight 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.640 ends of top thirty two yards against them all year, 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.440 and they've only allowed three scores to the position. Um, 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.959 why can't um? Why can't Drew Brees be on what 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:47.280 was the palm? The mall cop? Paul Blart mark mall cop? Yes, 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.839 why can't he be on a segway? He could? I mean, 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.040 are there specific rules in the NFL that state that 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.400 you can't ride motorized vehicles? That's right? Show me in 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.280 the in the rule book for the NFL where it 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.800 says just been a sega. It just has to match 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:05.760 the uniform. That's all they care about. Yeah, my kids 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:09.040 are really good at those hoverboard things. Yeah, Breese might 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.120 might do well in those. I think I'd break my back. 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.720 Ravens taking on the Bills Another that we've You know, 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.640 we're starting out with a lot of low scoring, tough defense, 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.400 really good reality games this week that aren't gonna lend 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.280 you a lot of fantasy points. And this is Baltimore. 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.640 Buffalo is a great reality game, and there aren't that 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.240 many fantasy points to be had. So we're gonna do 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.480 go through the charade with Lamar Jackson where I'm gonna 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.280 tell you all the reasons he should have a bad game. 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.520 Then you're gonna start him anyway, are we gonna do that. 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.720 I'm gonna give him an a grade anyway. We have 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.120 we don't have the time for this. Here are the 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.640 reasons you should bench Lamar Jackson outright, and we'll never 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:48.080 bench Lamar Jackson outright. The Bills ranked fourth and passing 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:52.040 yards allowed, second in passing touchdowns allowed um. They are 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.600 allowed the third fewest quarterback rushing yards, just eight rushing 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:59.920 yards per game. Two of the past twenty seven quarterbacks 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.160 of face Buffalo have scored a rushing touchdown. And I'm 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.160 giving him an a grade anyway, because the rules just 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:10.760 don't apply to Lamar Jackson right now. Uh, staying staying 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.920 with the Ravens and maybe even the passing game. The 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.200 only the only member the passing game that you can 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.120 start here is Mark Andrews. It is a tough matchup 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.360 though The Bills have allowed the second fewest receptions, yards 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.400 and touchdowns to tight end basically the top tight end defense, 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.880 and they basically are the top tight end defense. And 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.120 Andrews only gets a be because he's been that good 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:34.000 no no tight end his top sixty yards against the Bills, 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.440 and only one tight end his top fifty yards, and 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.600 that was John hu Smith. Who did it on one 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:43.200 flukey long catch. So it's a brutal matchup and Mark 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.640 Andrews probably deserves more like a C grade here, but 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.240 he's been so good for much of the year, I'm 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.480 giving him a B. Anyway, it sounds like you're gonna 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.280 play the players that got you there. Oh yeah, I 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:57.440 hate that. Then Marquis Hollywood Brown averaging a pedestrian thirty 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.920 six yards per game over the last six weeks. See, 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.720 you need him to score, So Willie score? Answer no, 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.920 because he's gonna get shadowed by trade Abous White, who 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.240 is not allowed to touch down all season, so he's 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.160 out to Where does that leave us? Mark Ingram? Over 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.480 the last three games, the Bills are allowing fewer than 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:20.280 fourteen rushing attempts, the fewest for only fifty seven rushing yards, 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.880 fourth fewest. Last week, it was only the second time 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.320 since Week four that mark Ingram did not have one 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.120 rushing yards or a touchdown, and that was against a 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.720 tough forty Niners defense. This is also a tough draw here, 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.560 but mark Ingram usually gets it done, so he gets 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.480 a B grade. Overall. It's it's tough if if Lamar 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:41.400 Jackson is going to have a flop game. This is 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.880 the one, but you're still starting. Let's go to the 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.040 Buffalo side. We've only got a couple of starting grades here, 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.920 beginning with a C grade on Josh Allen. Over the 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.360 past month, the Ravens are giving up ten and a 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:56.640 half points per game. That's it. Only Patrick Mahomes has 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.920 topped one touchdown against the Ravens, and while Josh allen 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.480 rushing prowess is always a wild card, the Ravens have 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.640 stymied other good rushers this year, like Kyler Murray and 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:10.720 Deshaun Watson. The Ravens have allowed the third fewest quarterback 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.240 rushing yards as well, So it's all it all, It's 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:17.400 all bad for Josh Allen. The only other starting grade 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.280 I've got is Devin Singletary. The Ravens defense much more 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.880 vulnerable on the ground than through the air. Aside from 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.240 shutting down Todd Gurley two weeks ago, the Ravens have 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.000 allowed one hundred rushing yards or a touchdown to running 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.800 back in each of their last four games, and Devin 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:35.400 Singletary averaging eighteen touches since he's supplanted Frank Gore. So 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.160 I think, but just between all the usage and the 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.760 fact he can't pass on the Ravens, Singletary has got 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.319 a reasonable chance at a good game here. We're not 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:45.400 going to start John Brown in a brutal match of revenge. 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:50.679 It is a revet. You're right, Revenge Stock. I forgot 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:55.880 about their revenge dock. Thank you. Revenge Duck is back um. 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.600 Over the last two weeks, he's averaging just thirty three 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.559 yards on less than three catches per game. That's John Brown. 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.160 But the important thing to know is since the Ravens 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.200 got Jimmy Smith back from injury and traded for Marcus 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.319 Peters and have had those two in the same backfield, 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:15.840 basically nobody passes for anything. And that's the case there. Yes, 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.120 I was thinking, just Lamar Jackson, you're toiling over starting him. 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.240 Most people who own him probably have a bye, which 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.600 is the silver line, which is absolutely great because they 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.480 need that. By this week. They might like it's danger 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.440 takes it. It could be. I mean, I just I 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.560 really think if there's one game where Lamar Lamar Jackson 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.160 has the backgame is up and I'm stilliving him an 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.360 a because he's just agreed, agreed. I'm just saying a 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.600 lot of owners. Will they have a vibe most likely 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.120 everything charge available for you at fanball dot Com.

Again fanball dot Com slash Chart. Coming up 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.280 next a segment we like to call take each hants 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.440 on Me. Nine players who you would not normally start, 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.840 but you can this week find out who they are 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:27.040 when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly Weekly Returns. 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.240 It's called take a chance on Me. Nine players not 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.600 normally in your starting lineup, many of whom are available 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:33.320 on the waiver wire. My co host and I are 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.320 going to provide three quarterbacks, to running backs, and three 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:39.480 receivers we believe are unusually startable this week, beginning with 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.640 Brian Johnson in the quarterback position. Who you got all right? 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:49.120 We heard the revenge duck. Now I need the duck duck. 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.960 The distinction very slept between those ducks, Devlin Duck Hodges 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.840 At Arizona, this is quite simple. Arizona has surrendered the 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.040 most passing touchdowns in the league with thirty one. They've 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:02.360 surrendered three plus passing yunds in five straight games. Duck 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.640 has turned the tables on the Hunters because he's got 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.840 the gun. He's got a cannon, and the Cardinals have 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:15.280 allowed sixty pass plays of twenty plus yards. Zero Ducks 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:19.120 greater than Cardinals. I think if a real Duck and 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.440 a real Cardinal got in a fight, oh, I take 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.880 the Duck, I take the Cardinal. They are mean. That 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:27.440 is a mean, mean bird. You should see the blue 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.280 jays in my backyard. The Cardinal. Yeah, there mean to 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.560 the jerks of the avion world, for sure, they are. 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.200 You want to want to hear about another jerk? Sam 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.080 Donald was a jerk last week against Since he really was. 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.600 But he's the quarterback against the Dolphins, and that's basically it. 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:48.040 The Dolphins have been the slump buster uh for every quarterback. 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.800 Multiple scores for each of the following fantasy studs, and 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:54.360 I used that in print their quotation marks uh, Phil Rivers, 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.720 Case Keenum Mason, Rudolph Baker, Mayfield, even let Carson Wentz 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.360 get back in the positive. Last week, Donald's coming off 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.440 a bad game against the lowly Bengals and the prior 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.119 to games against Washington and Oakland. He was averaging over 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.520 three hundred yards and three scores per game. I think 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:11.760 Donald's probably on that again this week three three calling 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.520 it all right. I'm now I'm wondering what are slump 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:19.320 buster sound should be. I really hope Donald makes out 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:23.680 all right this weekend. I think it's gonna Ryan Fitzpatrick 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.800 goes up against the Jets in that same game, and 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:31.200 you know what this is, It's time for the revenge 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:35.000 duck as Rand Fitzpatrick takes on the Jets. He faced 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:39.280 the Jets in week nine two eight yards and three 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:43.800 touchdowns for Mighty Stu Beard. Volume will be Fitzpatrick's friend. 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.560 Since Week six, opponents are throwing thirty eight passes per 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:50.280 game against New York. They're a great run defense. At 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.320 Miami can't run at all, and they are a terrible 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.720 past defense. And Stu Beard's the best thing going. When 0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:01.160 Fitzpatrick throws thirty eight or more passes, he averages three 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.840 one yards. Big game coming for Ryan Fitzpatrick. Let's go 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.879 to the take a chance, I mean running backs, Brian. 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.960 I'm staying with the Steelers and going Jalen Samuel's at 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.600 the same Arizona Cardinals of course, James Conner has been 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:17.400 ruled out. Yes, Benny Snill will start, but Samuels will 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.280 assume all of the third down work and could be 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:22.200 in line for an expanded role if Pittsburgh somehow manages 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.560 to fall behind, which isn't all that unrealistic. Um Arizona 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:27.879 has been been a good matchup for pass catching backs 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.000 as of late, outside of the Rams runners, who are 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:33.679 rarely targeted. The Cardinals yielded catch totals of thirteen and 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.439 twelve to the back fields of San Francisco and Tampa 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:38.480 Bay in their last two games prior to the l 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:42.040 A game. And then there's more receiving angles here. Juju 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.359 looking kind of dicey. He's out, He's ruled out. Okay, 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:49.000 my bad Vance McDonald's. Janlen Samuels might be a better 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.119 tight end than Vance McDonald is. And we all know 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:55.359 how tight ends do against the Arizona Cardinals. So changing 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:59.040 Jylen Samuel's position, all right, don't get let Yahoo know, 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:01.240 because they'll make anybody a tight end, or they did 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:05.000 last year. They've done it several times. Uh, Matt, you 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:06.960 take a chance to mere running back. I planted my 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:10.080 flag in one of the Buccaneers running backs, and so 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.280 I'm trying to decipher this one. So hear me out. 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:15.200 Ronald Jones is still the starter, but Peyton Barber shows 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.199 up and kills you ever so often like he did 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:20.679 last week. But the Bucks have essentially split the backfield 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.679 in games where it's close or where they're leading the 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:25.760 line in this game is Bucks by three show, which 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.199 should be one of those games. So what backs have 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.359 had the most success against against the Colts in recent weeks. Yes, 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.920 it's Derrick Henry, It's Carlos Hyde, alright, it's Leonard four 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:38.080 net bigger back, It's Trey Edmonds. All four of them 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.120 have the same thing in common there two pounds or more. 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:47.000 Ronald Jones is two hundred pounds. Peyton Barber. There we go. 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.080 If it's gonna be a close game, we're looking at 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.280 both of these guys in the twelve to fifteen carry arrange. 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.800 But Barber is gonna have the success. Okay, I like it, 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:58.440 calling you shot um. I tweeted this earlier. I think 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:03.200 last Sunday. There are approximately forty million Americans and Canadians 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:05.960 who play fantasy football. I'm glad you kept the Canadians 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:10.080 in there. Well, they count a boot. They There isn't 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:15.320 one person who has successfully started either Peyton Barber in 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:17.159 all the right weeks and benched him in all the 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.680 right weeks, or Ronald Jones started him in all the 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:22.840 right weeks. Nobody's broken it down like I just did. 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:25.120 Right there. No, that's gonna be the angle right there, 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:27.399 might take a chance to be running back has not 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:32.160 scored a rushing touchdown in two years. That's Davanta Freeman. 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.080 It's come to this. It was the the playoff game 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.520 before the Minneapolis miracle. I think you're right, Um. The 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:42.840 Panthers are the opponent this week. They've allowed a rushing 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:47.200 score in eight straight games. They've given up nineteen running 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.359 back touchdowns this year. Caroline has given up at least 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:53.879
