1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: That about that. I am Paul charging my coast today

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: or Jay Clemens and Brian Johnson. Hello, guys, good, thank you.

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: There's um let's just talk briefly about what to do

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: if you're in a big hole, which could have happened

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 1: when there were eighty point game on Thursday. You're in

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: a big hole coming into this Sunday. I think the

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: angle here is I try to put together quarterback wide

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: receiver hookups and hope you get at least one and

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: maybe two touchdowns out of that hook up. And that's

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: a way that you can you know, you're adding risk,

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: but you're also adding a reward into your mix, and

12
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: I think that makes uh. I think that's one of

13
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: the ways that you can overcome try to overcome the

14
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: big the big lead. If you're like me and played

15
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: a sicko who had the goth girly Watkins stack on out. Yep,

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shoot for the moon this week. You gotta

17
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: you know. I'm having some regret. I liked the Rams

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: to bounce back, and if you recall back to our

19
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: Week one show, I had Jared goff as might take

20
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: a chance at the quarterback. I wish I'd just spread

21
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: that analysis out over the whole season, you know, and

22
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 1: just said, you know, for the whole season. I think

23
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: Jared gott and I did think that. I thought the

24
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: whole rams are going to be better, but I should

25
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: have been a little bolder about about season long predictions

26
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: with that. Um Any quick thoughts on Cooper Cup after

27
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: too straight disappointing games in the big week one, probably

28
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: a drop in redraft leagues. I'm holding in dynasty though.

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: I think he's got potential and you never know with Watkins,

30
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: he could go down at any moment. Yeah, I think

31
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: we need a little perspective. There was a pass I

32
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: think it was in the third quarter where it was

33
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: basically in Cup's hands and it was not loose just

34
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: at the very last second. Uh. He might have scored

35
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: on that play as well. So it's one of those

36
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: things where if he gets that play, maybe we don't

37
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: even have these kind of negative feelings going forward. There's

38
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: been a lot of jeering over my preseason optimism for

39
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: the forty Niners offense, but they played two great defenses

40
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: in weeks one and two, and I think what we

41
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: saw what they can do when they when they get

42
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: a more standard opponent. I do think there's still remains

43
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: a lot of upside with those Niners harder than us either. No, yeah,

44
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: he looks, he looks. He How about that catche catch

45
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: of the year is already in the books. It's over.

46
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: That was catch of the year. I don't care what

47
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham does the rest of the season. That was

48
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: catch of the year. Over the course of the show,

49
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: we'll do our five tough questions are premature speculation, um,

50
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: and we will give you nine guys upon whom you

51
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: can take a chance. We begin rolling right into our matchups.

52
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: We've got a full slide of games to get to.

53
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: We begin with the Steelers taking on the Bears. J Okay,

54
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: let's go Big Bend. I've got him as a B

55
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: for the week. The positives are of the Bears brank

56
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: against the past. A noticeable departure from last year's top

57
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: ten ranking. On the bad side or the math side, uh,

58
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: Big Ben is accounted for just zero or one touchdown

59
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: in seven of his last ten road outings and plus

60
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: for the regular season last year, Ben only at nine

61
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: touchdown passes any completion rate below on the road. Yeah,

62
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: he averages one touchdown pass per road game over the

63
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: last three seasons. Uh. For Leivian Belle, I've got him,

64
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: you know in a UM. I know he struggled a

65
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: little bit, but you know, the Bears have already allowed

66
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: three touchdowns to opposing running backs this year and they

67
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: had the NFL's six worst rushing defense from last year.

68
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: Plus Bell is in that third week where you perceive

69
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: him did finally be in football shape. Um. He's getting

70
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: the touches, he's getting the carries. James Connor is not

71
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: a threat. I'm absolutely confident that Bell will be top

72
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: five this week among the receivers. I've got. Antonio Brown

73
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: is an a. UM. You know his last fifteen road outings. Uh,

74
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: he's had a hundred totaly yards indoor, one touchdown ten times.

75
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: He's not going against Davy roads. He's an easy a.

76
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: I've got Martvis Bryant for a b um. He made

77
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: the most of his four targets last week, three catches,

78
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: ninety one yards and a touchdown going against Trey Wings.

79
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: We kind of figured that would do go well. Um.

80
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: Ed Bouchett of the Pittsburgh He's big Pittsburgh guy, Sather's columnist.

81
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: He was saying that Brian has been the best player

82
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: they've had in camp, preseason, all summer. UM, So I

83
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: take that into account. UM. The Bears whole bottom ten

84
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: rankings with passing yards, points allowed, and defensive interceptions this season. UH.

85
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: The only positive I can say is the Chicago secondary

86
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: has held the opposing wide receiver two to just four

87
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: and a half catches, forty three yards and zero touchdowns

88
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: through two weeks. That's said, I still like Brian in

89
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: the beak category. UH. For Jesse James, I've got him

90
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: as a C. On the good side, he has collected

91
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: five targets in his last four outings, including the playoffs. UH.

92
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: For this season through weeks one and two, the Bears

93
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: have cumulatively allowed a hundred and sixty nine yards receiving

94
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: and one touchdown to opposing tight ends. So that makes

95
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: James semi relevant. Yeah. On the downside, James has never

96
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown against the non conference foe. I know

97
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: that's not a big deal, but it it's just worth noting.

98
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: And he might have missed his window in terms of

99
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: getting consistent red zone targets. Now that Bryant is, you

100
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: know of clear mind, clear body, and Bell should be

101
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: getting a lot. So there we go. All right, let's

102
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: flip to the other side of the ball. Okay, for

103
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: the Bears, UM, let's start with Mike Glennon. I didn't

104
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: give him a grade this week at all, So yeah,

105
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: he's a bench uh. For the running backs, chat Cohen,

106
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: I gave him a b. Uh. He is one of

107
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 1: only eight NFL Plakers playmakers to have at least twenty

108
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: targets through week two. Uh. He has an eight two

109
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: catch the target ratio on the season. UM. That's a

110
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: great one. Yeah, that's what you want. Um. And the

111
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Steelers d currently ranked second in sacks, so if you

112
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: want to take the positive from that, that means that

113
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: glenn will have to perhaps do a lot of checkdowns

114
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: and the number one primary option in the checkdown would

115
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: be Terak Cohen. So solid B. On the downside, he

116
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: only has a one point eight six yards per carry

117
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: uh last week. Last week, that's that's deplorable. UH. For

118
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: the other running back, Jordan Howard, I've got him as

119
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: a C grade for the week. On the good side,

120
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: he collected a hundred total yards and or wasn't touchdown

121
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: thirteen times in his last fifteen games. However, he's dealing

122
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: with the shoulder concerned that played itself out last week

123
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: and I think it will play it out this week

124
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: as well. Plus, the Steelers have allowed only a hundred

125
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: forty yards rushing and two games and have yet to

126
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: surrender a rushing touchdown to an actual old tailback and

127
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: actual only fictional tailbacks. Well like they've given up rushing

128
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 1: touchdowns to other positions, but not though not running backs. Okay, fine,

129
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: all right? Uh? Then um for none of the receivers.

130
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: Are all the receivers benched? And then I've got Zach

131
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: Miller B grade for the week he wrecked. He ranks

132
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: among the top eight tight ends for both receptions and targets.

133
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: This year he leads the Bears and UH tight ends

134
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: and wide receivers and targets, and last year UH, the

135
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: Steelers d ranked twenty or lower against PPR tight ends

136
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: in the categories of targets allowed, receptions allowed, and net

137
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: yards given up as well. Thank you, Jay. Brian Denver

138
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: takes on Buffalo. Trevor Simeon leads the NFL in quarterback

139
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: touchdowns with seven, but I'm tough matchup here as he

140
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: travels to Buffalo. Well, yeah, he's on pace for fifty

141
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: six total touchdown that happen, I'll take you over on that. Seriously,

142
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: he should fall back to earth a little bit here.

143
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo is looking like a better run defense than past defense.

144
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: But it's a matter of how much will the Broncos

145
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: have to throw the ball. But I'll give us, I

146
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: mean I'll give to me to see this week. We'll

147
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about him later over to

148
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: the well to let's talk about as receivers to Mary's

149
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. I'll give both of them and

150
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: be rarely do they both go off in the same game.

151
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: So I took a little look at the home road

152
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: splits for each since the start of Demry's, Thomas is

153
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: averaging about the same amount of targets on the road

154
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: versus at home. Emmanuel Sanders, on the other hand, is

155
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: averaging an extra three and a half targets per game

156
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: on the road, so we gets leaned on a little

157
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,559
Speaker 1: more there. So you're starting both. But if you're playing

158
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: on a site like Fanball, I'm using the targets as

159
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: a tiebreaker between the two, So I like Sanders a

160
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: little more at a cheaper price. Tach um over the

161
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: running backs. C J. Anderson twenty carries twenty five carries

162
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: in his first few games, getting true bell cow treatment.

163
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna get a bell cow sounder today. Fantasy bell

164
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: cow was given me a grief on Twitter that he

165
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: didn't have. We do we need a bell We do

166
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: need the bell sounder, bell Cow. Let's let's work that, Zack.

167
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Rundey looking at Tony. I'm sorry, Buffalo Rundy's looking tough.

168
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: They've allowed just eighty eight yards on thirty six combined

169
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: carries between the Jets and Panthers running backs. You gotta

170
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: keep rolling out c g though he looks great. Only

171
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: he and Mike gillissly have double digit red zone rushes

172
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: so far this year. So he's an easy be almost

173
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: an A. But it was a tough matchup and I'm

174
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: benching Jamal Charles. You just want more expected points from

175
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: the opposition to put Charles in play. So he's on

176
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: the bench this week. Not much to talk about for

177
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Lashawn McCoy gets a B in career games following

178
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: a sub seventy yard rushing performance, as he had last week.

179
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: He follows up with ten yards per game and he's

180
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: had quite a few. He's a good bounce back player.

181
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: Tough matchup against It is a tough matchup against Denver.

182
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: That just the run defense just took the love of

183
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: the game out of Zeke. Yeah, but there's no real

184
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: desire and so you could tell he quit halfway through

185
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: that game. But yet eight yards on nine carries for Zeke.

186
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Shady, you'll have a little bit better day.

187
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: You can't bench him, obviously. It's another tough matchup for him.

188
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: And Charles Clay is the only other Bill Worth talking

189
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: about really in this one. I'll give him a ce.

190
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: Covering tight ends has proven to be a crack in

191
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: the arm of Denver's defense in recent years. They allowed

192
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: the seventh most catches the tight ends. Last year, Jason

193
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: Witten was just targeted thirteen times for ten catches a touchdown.

194
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: So Clays and play. He's been on the injury report,

195
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: but he'll be suiting up on Sunday for sure. He's

196
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: inside my top ten among tight ends. This early Saturday

197
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: morning game. It's in London and it's the early start.

198
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: So be sure to get you really today. Now go

199
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: get go, make sure your lineups are set for these guys.

200
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: For whatever it's worth, dating back to twelve of the

201
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: eleven games played in London, the average points are fifty

202
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: three points per outing. That's a courtesy of Jay sent

203
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: me that stat Thank you for that. So we tend

204
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: to think of those games as being moro abund But

205
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: actually there's been a lot of points to be had

206
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: in the past few games. But I don't love this matchup,

207
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: and I'm only got starting grades on a couple of guys.

208
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: All that said, uh C grades for Terence West. He's

209
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: a game time decision with a thigh injury. I think

210
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: he's gonna play. Jaguars are a better past defense than

211
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: a run defense. They've allowed two rushing touchdowns last week,

212
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: although frankly Derrick Henry is way way better back than

213
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: Terence West. There they're giving a hundred seven rushing yards

214
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: per game. But this is the Ravens first game without

215
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: their elite guard, Marshal Yanda, and they have no real

216
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: answer for his loss. So I'm nervous about West. I'm

217
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: nervous about Buck Allen, who gets a C grade as well.

218
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: He'll be the in the Danny woodhead role and he'll

219
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: he'll get some receptions here. Jaguars have only allowed seven

220
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: receptions to the position all year, though, and no running

221
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: back has scored through the air against the Jaguars in

222
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: two years. So I'm nervous about Buck Allen too, so

223
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: just to see grade for him the whole the rest

224
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: of all passing games on the bench, including Joe Flacco,

225
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: Jaguars quietly have an elite past defense, giving up just

226
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: one four yards per game one touchdown per game. I

227
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: think that's about what Joe Flacco gets about a Buck

228
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: eighties seven and one here, which is would be a

229
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: very Flacco type type game. Ben Watson, I need more

230
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: than one game sample to show that Ben Watson's back

231
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: from the dead. I can't trust him. Jeremy Macklin is

232
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: scoring back to back games, but draws a much tougher

233
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: assignment this week against Jacksonville's slot cornerback Aaron Colvin. He's

234
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: on the bench, then, Mike Wallas has done nothing, Andy

235
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: draws Jalen Ramsey. Let's go to the Jaguars side of

236
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: this matchup, where there's only one player to start, and

237
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: that's Leonard Fournette. The Ravens excellent defensive tackle Brandon Williams

238
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: has been ruled out of this game, and that's gonna

239
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: open up the door for the game plan that the

240
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: Jaguars want to employ basically every game, which is try

241
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: to win on the ground, minimize Blake Bortles, and let

242
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: your defense carry you to and a short victory and

243
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: a quick game. The Ravens have been very good against

244
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: the run, but that was with Williams, Brandon Williams, and

245
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: I like Fournette as a result. He's He's also a

246
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: better pass catcher than people think. And the Ravens have

247
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: allowed running backs fifty six yards per game so far,

248
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: and that's an area where Fournette, I think, is gonna

249
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty involved. You get targeted five times last week,

250
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: so I think Fournette get turns those five or so

251
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: five or six receptions into close to fifty receiving yards

252
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: as well. Leonard Fournette is a B grade let response time.

253
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: Um is Burnett could be a bell cow this week.

254
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: Oh there, we are very nicely done. Look at Tony

255
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: in the span of one matchup. He's got it on

256
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: the button button to the whole passing games on the bench.

257
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: Bortles Lee hearns. The Ravens have allowed one touchdown pass.

258
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: They've netted eight receptions one touchdown pass allowed eight interceptions.

259
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: I think I may have said receptions, yes, yes, eight

260
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: interceptions for some perspective on the eight interceptions through two games.

261
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: Last year, four teams had eight interceptions on the season,

262
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: and here comes Blake portals an arsenal of errors. The

263
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: Bordau Party. The Bordeau Party. Uh and Lee and Hearns

264
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: have got negative matchups against Jimmy Smith and Ladarius Webb.

265
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: I don't like any part of that passing game. When

266
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: we come back, take a chance on me. Nine players

267
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: not normally in your starting lineup will tell you who

268
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: you can start this week from the bench. When we

269
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: can nine players not normally in your lineup, guys who

270
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: are in many is available on the waiver wire, we

271
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: will tell you who they are right now, Beginning at

272
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. In Jay Clemens, I've got Carson Palmer

273
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: we're talking is facing a Cowboys defense that heading into

274
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: the season, Pro Football Focus had as the thirty secondary.

275
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: Plus now they've got injuries to to a woozy Carroll

276
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: and Scandrick that are testing that depth. His last four

277
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: home games, Carson Palmer has not three hundred yards passing

278
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: each time. J J. Nelson has emerged as the number

279
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: two receivers also, and I know of his last eight

280
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: non divisional home games against NFC opponents, Palmer has seven

281
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: times against during that at time, he's averaging three yards

282
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: and a robust two and a half touchdown that you

283
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: have already you've already housed. Random stat of the week Territory, Brian,

284
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, I got in these. Jacoby Brissette at home

285
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: against the Browns. Brissette didn't do anything special against the

286
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: Cardinals last week, but that's because they're the Cardinals. This

287
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: is the Browns. So Brisette is a threat to run

288
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: and throw at least a touchdown in this game. Going

289
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: back to last season, Cleveland has allowed at least two

290
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns, and six of their last seven games, only

291
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: Kyrod Taylor failed to do so in the snow in Buffalo.

292
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: The Browns have also just faced two running threats at

293
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: quarterback since the start of last year. Marcus Mariotta had

294
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: seven carries for sixty four yards and Tyrod Taylor had

295
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: seven for forty nine. So Brisettes a dual threat this week.

296
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: We all think the Dolphins are gonna double off the

297
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: Jets by points, right, and chure j Gi is gonna

298
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: get a lot of that. But why don't we dumpster

299
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: dive and a guy who can capitalize on a giant success.

300
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: What's to say that the giant is gonna get all

301
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: the touchdowns? I think Color looked pretty good and is

302
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: knocked the rustoff game last week his first time in

303
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: with the Dolphins. Now he gets this week's matchup against

304
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: the Jets, who are currently allowing two and a half

305
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game to opposing quarterbacks. My biggest concern just

306
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: really just does a giant house everything? But there's a

307
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: good chance that he doesn't, and he just merely sets

308
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: up a passing game for some easy touchdowns. Let's go

309
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: to the running back position. Jay My Palmer endorsement was

310
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: all sets, but for running back, I'm going with d J.

311
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: Pro Syce purely based on a hunch this week. Um

312
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: he was targeted six times last week in a very

313
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: close game against forty niners. I refused to believe the

314
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: seahawks muddled backfield situation has suddenly become the Chris Carson

315
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: Show against opposing tailbacks. Last year, the Titans owned middling

316
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: rankings with both targets allowed, receptions allowed and receiving yards

317
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: given up and plus Vegas is under selling this matchup

318
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: with an over under at forty one, so if we're

319
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: going over, pro Syce will definitely factor into that. All right,

320
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: You like him as a PPR option. I kind of

321
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: do too, Brian, Yeah, pro sys is sneaky, especially on

322
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: fanball only three play there. I've got Darren Sprawls at

323
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: home against my miserable Giants. The Giants allowed more than

324
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: five catches per game to running backs last year. Sprowls

325
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: is clearly a pass catching back UH, one of ten

326
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: running backs with at least twelve targets so far this year.

327
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz was sacked six times by the Chiefs last week.

328
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: The Giants should bring similar heat, meaning Wentz might have

329
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: to check down a little more than than he's used to.

330
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: And yes, Darren Sprowls has just as many red zone

331
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: carries as le Garrett Blunt, which is ridiculous eat or something.

332
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: But he will take the lead on Sunday because Blunt

333
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: is cooked. We'll talk more about that matchup a little later.

334
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: Theo Reddick goes up against Atlanta, and for all the

335
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: success the Falcons had last year, they got destroyed by

336
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: running backs through the air. They allowed the most receptions

337
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: to running backs last year, the most receiving yards to

338
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: running backs last year, and the most receiving touchdowns the

339
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: running backs last year. That is a trifective defensive ineptitude

340
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: right there. This year, the Falcons are allowing the most

341
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: receptions there running backs, the most touchdowns through the air

342
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: to running backs with two already. And here comes the

343
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: Lions pass catching specialist, Theo Reddick. Money in the bank.

344
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to the wide receiver position. People know that

345
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with PPR leagues, and you need to catch

346
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: the target ratio of at least otherwise I would even

347
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: cross the street to kick you in the ribs. Okay,

348
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: that said, Dante Moncreeve has a catch target ratio this year,

349
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: but I'm willing to overlook that because Jacobycent literally got

350
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: into Indians a couple of weeks ago. So he is

351
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: my guy for this position going against the Browns secondary

352
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: that ranked heading into the preseason according to Pro Football Focus,

353
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: and that was with without Joe hayden Um in the lineup.

354
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: UH last year. Opposing receivers for when facing the Browns

355
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: at six catch target rate against the Browns. Uh In

356
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: fact under uh well Greig Williams, who was not who

357
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: was with the Rams last year. The Rams last year

358
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: were bottom ten in targets allowed, catches allowed, and receiving

359
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: yards given up to opposing white up. All right, So

360
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: Dante Moncreve you got, I'm going to Shard Higgins at

361
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: the Colts in the same game. People are at his calling.

362
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: Higgins is out of nowhere practice squad player, but he

363
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: was a fifth round pick at a Colorado State university.

364
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: He had ninety six catches for sevred and fifty yards

365
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: and seventeen touchdowns. So he's he's he's not just in

366
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: the nobody eleven targets last week for seven catches and

367
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: ninety five yards two catches of twenty plus yards run

368
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: out of the slot. Yeah, is very good size and

369
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: Colts rookie slot corner Nate Harrison is in the bottom

370
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: third of Pro Football Focuses quarterback grades. So look out

371
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: for Higgins this week. He's gonna have a good game,

372
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: all right. Devin Funches is my player and I love

373
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: this matchup. Look, any more body gets the Saint secondaries

374
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: automatically in play. But the Saints secondary is ravaged right now.

375
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lattimer, who had been there quote top cornerback, is

376
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: out for this game, and that means that they're gonna

377
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: be going to war with guys like Davante Harris who

378
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: was killed by Stefan Diggs and Chris Hogan. Harris should

379
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: see a lot of time on funches based on how

380
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: these guys tend to play on the which sides of

381
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: the field. And get this, Harris Franks dead last at

382
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: the cornerback position by Pro Football Focus, ranking one hundred

383
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 1: six among cornerbacks in the NFL. I didn't know there

384
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: were one hundred six cornerbacks in the NFL. Devin Funchius

385
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: effectively free on Fanball at one hundred dollars. All right,

386
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: let's go to our first, our first matchup of this

387
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 1: segment and probably our only matchup of this segments. Who

388
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: try to keep onto our clock, and that is Falcons

389
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: taking on the Lions. Obviously, this feels like a good

390
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: opportunity for for Julio Jones. They all are yes, I've

391
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: got him as an eight grade. Uh, you know, he

392
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: lit up the Peckers last week for five cuts of

393
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: hundred eight. Uh. He is going against Darius Slay, so

394
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: there's some concern there, but he's an automatic A. U.

395
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, I have him for a B this week. Uh.

396
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: He's going against a Lions defense that currently ranks against

397
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: the past but only ninth and points allowed. Uh. He

398
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: his Uh. He have sixty percent completion rate this year,

399
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: but at the same times he's lost receiving opportunity or

400
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: passing opportunities because with the new O C they're getting

401
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: more running opportunities to both DeVonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman. Uh.

402
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, I've got Freeman as an easy A

403
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: for the week. Uh. His last four road games indoors,

404
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: he's averaging a hundred forty two yards and one point

405
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Yes, the Lions have the the NFL's number

406
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: for rush defense, but I'm not concerned. Uh. Tevin Coleman,

407
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: I have him as a C this week. Everyone knows

408
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: I love Coleman, but at the same time, he got

409
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: a face the reality here he is he is averaged

410
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: only ten touches in fifty two total yards through two games.

411
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: Last year, at this time he was averaging thirteen touches

412
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: and eighty nine yards a game. UM, And as I mentioned,

413
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: the Lions have the number four rush defense. I will

414
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: say though the coleman has scored in six of his

415
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: last seven games, including the playoffs. Said something good. Uh,

416
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: at receiver, I got my Huliore with a NA. I've

417
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: got Mohammed Sanew with the C grade. Here's the thing

418
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: I love SNeW he's actually adapted to Steve Sarkisian as

419
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: the UOC. He's called eleven of fifteen balls among receivers.

420
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: He ranks in the top fifteen for both catches and targets. Uh.

421
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: He's accounted for eighty five yards into a one touchdown

422
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: in four of his last six games. Say yes, exactly,

423
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: So it's a C plus, it's a pretty good, it's

424
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: a pretty wealth plus a lot of leagues. And then

425
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: for at tight and I've got Austin Hooper for an

426
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: eight grade this week. Uh. He has posted a touchdown

427
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: in three of his last six outings. In the last

428
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: calendar year, the Lions have allowed either eighty five plus

429
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: yards or one touchdown to the lakes of Jason Winton,

430
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph Evan, Ingram de Laney Walker see Dave Fedora, which,

431
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: Richard Rodgers, Kobe Fleiner, the list goes on and on. Uh.

432
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: So I've got him for an a alright Lion side

433
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: of the ball. Okay, Matthew Stafford, I've got him as

434
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: an eight grade. He is my number two quarterback for

435
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: the week. He's off to a blazing start. His last

436
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: eleven games against NFC South opponents, He's hit three hundred

437
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: yards passing and or three touchdowns all eleven times. Uh.

438
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: For running backs, I've got a Mere Abdullah for a

439
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: C grade. Yes, he ran for a career best eighty

440
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: six yards last week against the Giants, but the Lions

441
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: basically went into operations shutdown with the passing game once

442
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: they got up by two touchdowns. Um. Plus, the Falcons

443
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 1: have allowed uh more receptions to a posting tailbacks than

444
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: any other team this season. That technically falls to theoretic

445
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: who gets a C grade? Uh A Meir didn't get

446
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: targeted at all last week, so all that good stat

447
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: for going against Atlanta de essentially applies to Riddick. Riddick,

448
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: Cohen Um, Terry Coleman, and Time Montgomery combined for fourteen catches,

449
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: eight yards and two touchdowns their very first two weeks

450
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: against the Falcons, Riddick has collected five or more targets

451
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: than seven of his last ten games at the Lions. UH.

452
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: For receivers, let's go Golden Tate B grade. The Falcons

453
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,239
Speaker 1: UH ranked and passing yards last season this year. They

454
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: ranked in the same category last year tat average six catches,

455
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: ninety four yards and two touchdowns against defenses that played

456
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that gave up that had thirty or more touchdown

457
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: passes on the bedside. Desmond Truffont ranked seventh among quarterbacks

458
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: last year in yards allowed for snap. But there's no

459
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: guarantee that he'll be guarding tight for every snap anyway. UH.

460
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: For Eric Ebron at tight end, I've gotten a B grade. UH.

461
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: Ebron checked this out. UH. He in his office. Last

462
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: nineteen games, he has collected five or more targets seventeen times.

463
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: He's not garbage. UH. He caught all five of his

464
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: targeted balls last week for forty two yards one touchdown. UH.

465
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: And then last week Martella Spending of the Packers collected

466
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: eleven targets. That was his highest helly in two seasons. UH.

467
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: And one last guy, I've got Kenny Golladay the receiver

468
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: C grade. Fantasy owners should feel compelled to take a

469
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: chance on him at the flex spot because he had

470
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: two touchdowns an opening week and as I mentioned before,

471
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: the Lions essentially went into operations shut down against the Giants.

472
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: So do not take what happened last week and kind

473
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: of make it seem like it's going to be the

474
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: case every week. The Lions still need to throw the

475
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: ball to win. Eric Hebron has scored his first touched

476
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: down in a year last week. You're are you're a

477
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: little higher on him than I am. Well, the PPR

478
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: I need. I need him to score. I need him

479
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: to find the M zone. Well, we need everyone to score.

480
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: But from a PPR, I can live with the guy

481
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: that gets five targets every single game. When we come back,

482
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: Giants taking on the Eagles, Giants offense has been brutal

483
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: to this point. Brian will tell you whether or not

484
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: there are some options for fantasy players in that offense

485
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: when we come back your distinct Fantasy Football Weekly on

486
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: the Fan. Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan.

487
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: Paul Giarchie and j Clemen, So Brian Johnson with you.

488
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: Plenty more matchups to get you on a full slate

489
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: of games today. We begin with the Giants taking on

490
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Brian, the Giants offense has obviously been a disaster,

491
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: but they get in theory healthy Odell Beckham for this game.

492
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: He was great against the Eagles last year. Yeah, I

493
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: gotta give Beckham in a based on his two games

494
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: against Philly last year, the most recent game twenty targets,

495
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: eleven catches for a hundred and fifty, had two touchdowns

496
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: in the first meeting. So, as you said, he's been

497
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: practicing all weeks, should be further along from that ankle injury.

498
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: We'll see how much healthier Odell Beckham. As I wouldn't

499
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: go a because I just you know, it was only

500
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: on the field for thirty two snaps and they only

501
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: target him like four times last week. I worry that

502
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: does that turn into like four, you know, four catches

503
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: in forty yards this week? Is he fully there? I

504
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: think they'll shoot him up enough. Will he'll fully be

505
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: there to be able to run around? You're right? So

506
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: I hope you're right. I'm I'm more I'm more nervous

507
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: than you are. His battery made Brandon Marshall epitomizes the

508
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: grossness of the Giants right now. I'm giving him a

509
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: see though. Could have had a nice line last week,

510
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: dropped a thirty yard or uh failed to high point

511
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: in ed zone target, could have had a touchdown. Just

512
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: looked gross, but the opportunities were there. Uh here's the

513
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: silver lining. Secondary wide receivers did well against Philly last

514
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: year as they focused on Odell Beckham. Victor Cruz had

515
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: eight catches for eighty four yards. Roger Lewis Junior scored

516
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: in the other meeting as the number two receivers. So

517
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: there is hope for Marshall here, as there is for

518
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd. Oh b J has obviously been hurt, but

519
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: Shepherd leads Giants wide receivers in targets and he scored

520
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: in both meetings against the Eagles last year. I'm putting

521
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram on the bench this week. I had starting

522
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: grades on him the first two weeks and those paid

523
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: off sort of, uh definitely last week. But um Philly

524
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: has allowed since two thousand and eleven point to five

525
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game. It's crazy. So Ingram was on the

526
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: bench this week. Eli Manning, you can give him a

527
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: set six yards and a touchdown his last time in Philly.

528
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: Oh line is a serious concern, as you mentioned, but

529
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: the Giants are throwing the ball more than seventy two

530
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: percent at the time. You gotta give Eli one more

531
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: chance here. If he doesn't get it done against Philly, Yeah,

532
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: he's probably droppable. Sadly, Uh to the running backs, Shane Veren,

533
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: you gonna give him a see third among running backs

534
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: in receptions, caught six balls for seventy two yards in

535
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: his last game against Philly. Chris Thompson had a nice

536
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: game against the Eagles in Week one with four catches

537
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: for fifty two yards and a touchdown. And Verreen are

538
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: very similar players, So Areen is in play this week,

539
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: but I'm putting out Orleans dark Wall and Paul Perkins

540
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: on the bench. Dark Wae deserves more. Run average five

541
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: point seven yards per carry against Detroit last week on

542
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: only three carries, but Paul Perkins one point four yards

543
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: per carry on seven attempts. He's brutal. He droppable to

544
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: easily droppable. You like Manning more than I do. You

545
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: can talk all about the matchup last year. This offensive

546
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: line is so much worse than last year's offensive line

547
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: that I'm I'm very very nervous about, very nervous, but

548
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: I I started on the three wider starting grades on

549
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: the three wide receivers. So Manning is in play. It's

550
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: a bottom bottom level ce but he's somewhat in play.

551
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: But over to the Philly side, Carson Wentz, as hot

552
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: as he's been, I'm only gonna give him a c

553
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: only one touchdown to three interceptions and two games against

554
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: New York as a rookie obviously not a rookie anymore.

555
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: But this Giant's defense is still very legitimate. It certainly

556
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: matters up Genorris Jenkins plays in this game. He didn't.

557
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: The whole thing pivot on genors Jenkins um, assuming he plays.

558
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: The Giants haven't allowed more than two passing touchdowns since

559
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: Week fifteen of they've allowed more than one passing touchdown,

560
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: and by that I mean too obviously because they haven't

561
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: led more than two just three times last year. So

562
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: it's a legitimate secondary, very good defense as bad at

563
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,239
Speaker 1: as bad as the offense is. Wentz is not an

564
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: auto start, but he is a sea level start, as

565
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: is Alshon Jeffrey. For Jeffrey, doesn't it all just hinge

566
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: on whether or not Jens Jenkins goes. Do I like him?

567
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: If I like him? If Jenkins is out and I

568
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: don't like him. If Jenkins plays, that that's the bottom line. Really,

569
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: he's a b. If Jenkins sits, see if Jenkins starts, Uh,

570
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: let's just assume Jenkins is playing. The Giants allowed seven

571
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: team catches the Philly wide receivers in two games last year.

572
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: That's eight and a half wide receiver catches per game.

573
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: That's brutal. So I'm benching Nelson Aguilar and Tory Smith.

574
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: Torry Smith might even play in this game, by the way,

575
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: zach Ertz, that gets to be uh. Starting middle linebacker

576
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: b J. Goodson looks like no go again for the Giants. Uh.

577
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: Earth's had two good games against New York last year,

578
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: and UH both tight ends they faced this season, Jason

579
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: Winn and Eric Ebron scored a touchdown, so Arts is

580
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: certainly startable. Darren Sprowles was might take a chance on

581
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: me running back, and La Garrett Blunch, who was more

582
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: like le Garrett Roach if you know what I'm talking

583
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: about us on the bench. Because he's coming off the

584
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: zero carry performance last week. He was he was on

585
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: the field for one play. They threw him and he

586
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: didn't catch it. Uh, that one's tricky. I I wouldn't

587
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: be surprised if they go back to black that you

588
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: can't trust the now hold them, start them, you hold them.

589
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,239
Speaker 1: Maybe he scores, you keep them. If not, you can

590
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 1: just drop them. Tampa takes on the Minnesota Vikings and

591
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: on Tampa side have got some B grades to hand out,

592
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: including let's start with the passing game. Jameis Winson, who

593
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: has now scored in thirty two of his thirty three

594
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: career games. You can bank on at least one touchdown

595
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: and maybe not much more than that though. Over the

596
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: past two seasons, Minnesota's just giving up one point three

597
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns per game, and Winston's go to target, Mike

598
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: Evans star was one of his toughest matchups of the year.

599
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: That's Xavier Roads, and we'll use that as our segue

600
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: to Evans, who also has a B great Over the

601
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: last eight teen games, the top wide receiver against the

602
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: Vikings has reached eighty five yards one time. That's the

603
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: Xavier Rhads factor. So we always talked the receiver's tough starts.

604
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: Roads who's the head Thomas Thomas, Antonio Brown and no kidding,

605
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: no kidding, and uh last week held Antonio Brown under

606
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: the fact, held Antonio Brown to one hundred twenty fewer

607
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: yards than Antonio Brown had in the opening game. Yeah. Uh.

608
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: This on Jackson though, is also get to be grade

609
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: because of the matchup that he's got, which should be

610
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: with Trey Wayne's speed receiver Martavis Bryant roasted Wayne's last week.

611
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: And so here's Jackson who led the NFL with twenty

612
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: yards per catch indoors last year, twenty and he's the

613
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: deep speed guy. And we've seen deep speed beat Tray before.

614
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: So we're gonna give him a B grade. Uh. Bright

615
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: and Howard at tight end are sharing snaps and targets,

616
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: so I think that neutralizes both of them there on

617
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: the bench. C grade for Jackies Rogers, who looked ordinary

618
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: last week, Well he is ordinary, so he looked like himself,

619
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: but he was playing with the flu last week, So

620
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: there's your excuse. Vikings only giving up three point one

621
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: yards per carry and even a lite talents like laby

622
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: On Bell Bell needed thirty touches to get to ninety yards.

623
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: That's it against Minnesota. So Rogers is a c at best.

624
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: You could keep him on the bench and then'll be fine.

625
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Vikings case Keenum will be your

626
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: quarterback again. I thought he looked pretty darned bad last week,

627
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: and he makes me very nervous about all parts of

628
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: the passing offense. Although they should be better this week,

629
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: easier defense. They're at home and a second start for Keenum,

630
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: so I'm giving cautious Sea grades on feeling Diggs and Rudolph.

631
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: Rudolph scored a touchdown on the opener, but just nine

632
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: targets in the two games. The Bucks have allowed three

633
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: touchdowns to tight ends in their last twenty six outings.

634
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: That's it. So Rudolph gets to see and it's a

635
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: hesitant Sea at that I have to ask real quick charge. Yes,

636
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: should people be adding Teddy Bridgewater in two quarterback leagues

637
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,959
Speaker 1: right now? No? Uh? Stefan Diggs uh conscious two passes

638
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: last week with Keenum. Keenum didn't get time to go

639
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: to Digs deep. That worries me. He's also gonna get

640
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: cornerback Brent Grimes, who was shockingly great last year after

641
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: being shockingly awful the year before that. We'll call him inconsistent.

642
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: Diggs gets a C grade here. You can start him.

643
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: I like Theelan's matchup a lot better. He goes up

644
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: against corner Robert McClean, who currently ranks one dred third

645
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: among cornerbacks by Pro Football Focus. And as a slot guy,

646
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: you know he's gonna get his targets, and I like

647
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: that for feeling. The best start, though, of the Vikings,

648
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: the one you can feel good about is Dalvin Cook.

649
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: You can safely assume that the Vikings are going to

650
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: de emphasize case Keenum and that means giving the ball

651
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: to Cook a lot. He does go up against the Bears,

652
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks defense that held the Bears Runners to just

653
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: one yard per carry last week, but Jordan Howard was

654
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: injured and Cook should be better. He's average nineties six

655
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: total yards per game, and he should be a factor

656
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: in through the air as well. To recoon eight receptions

657
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: against this Bucks defense last week. So it'd be grade

658
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,239
Speaker 1: for Cook, and I think he you absolutely keep him

659
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: in your line. Let's go to Saints versus Panthers. JA.

660
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: This is a this is a kind of a thorny

661
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: one because the Panthers defense has been really really good.

662
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: So a lot of the sort of auto starts Saints

663
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: guys are max a little bit nervous about. We will

664
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: give the Panthers problems for having the number two past

665
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: defense and the number one scoring defense, but keep in

666
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,239
Speaker 1: mind their their first two quarterbacks where Brian Hoyer and

667
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: Tyrode Taylor. Yeah, and I've said Drew Brees. I've got

668
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: him with an A grade. Michael Thomas receiver also has

669
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: an eight grade for the week, but regarding Breeze, of

670
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: his last six trips the Carolina's stadium, where there's a

671
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: lot of high grass, he owns rock solid averages three

672
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: yards passing and one point eight touchdowns. I've got a

673
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: Greek grade B B grade. Sorry about that. For mark

674
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: ingram and running back. Uh, yes, I know it's a

675
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: modeled situation there. But at the same time, he leads

676
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: the threesome in both touches and total yards for weeks

677
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: one and two. He has also scored four touchdowns in

678
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: his last eight games against the Panthers. Uh. For the

679
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: C grade, let's go Alvin Kamara. I've got no grade,

680
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: by the way, bench grade for Peterson. Alvin Kamara, this

681
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: is the only thing that keeps me, keeps my sanity

682
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: Right now, he's averaging six and a half targets in

683
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: his first two games at the receiving spot. We have

684
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas for an a Brandon Coleman. I will give

685
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: him a C for this reason. Uh, he doubled his

686
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: production with targets and receptions from week one while scoring

687
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown last weekend. I can take some positivity from that.

688
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, this is still the Panthers, the same Pets.

689
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: Panthers secondary. They got lit up for three hundred yards

690
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: by Julio Jones last weekend. They're just not magically better.

691
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: And for Coney Kobe Bleiner, Kobe Fleaners say that three

692
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: times fast, I've got a B grade. He has scored

693
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: a touchdown in both games. And if we've learned anything

694
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: from Kobe Fleaner, you ride the hot wave it all times.

695
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: For the Panthers, we've got Cam Newton with the B.

696
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 1: I'll keep it short. He is not three hundred yards

697
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: passing and or three touchdowns and four of his last

698
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 1: five outings against the Saints, and the Saints have allowed

699
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: five hundred yard passing games their last seven times going

700
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: against the posing cornerbacks. I've got a B grade for

701
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. The Saints are the only team to give

702
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: up cumulative of averages of five hundred plus total yards

703
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: for both weeks one and two, Plus the Panthers playmakers

704
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 1: must account for Greg Olsen's targets and red zone touches.

705
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:56,959
Speaker 1: That vacuum needs to be full, and I think first

706
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,959
Speaker 1: up goes to Christian McCaffrey. I love McCaffrey. I gotta

707
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: solid a grade on him in this game because New

708
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: Orleans is dead last in the NFL and receptions and

709
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: receiving yards to running backs, and without Greg Olson, I

710
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: see the middle of the field turning into McCaffrey territory,

711
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: running out of the slot, coming out of the backfield

712
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: and into the middle of the field. I think he's

713
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: going to be your prime beneficiary to greg Olsen's demise here.

714
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: That's fine. I've I've got a B plus grade basically

715
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: for him. Uh, you don't even have to agree with me.

716
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm wrong a lot. I don't want to agree with you,

717
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: but this is rather out. It's it's against the Saints.

718
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: I'd like Brannan's chances against the Saints frankly, Uh, Jonathan Stewart,

719
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: I've got a C grade, and I don't mean that

720
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: in a negative way. Either. The Saints currently ran against

721
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: to run the scenes have also surrendered either a hundred

722
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: yards rushing and or one touchdown to the opposing to

723
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: the primary running back of the opposing team for both

724
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: weeks one and two. For the receivers, I've got Devin

725
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: Funches as a C grade. I know that sounds preposterous,

726
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 1: been keep in mind the Saints have given up five

727
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,959
Speaker 1: hundred total yards cumutively for weeks one and two. I

728
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: believe there's uh no mar Marshawn Latimer and Sterling Moore

729
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 1: for Week two, So I think that means Keenan Lewis

730
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: might defend uh Funchius. I think he mentioned this on

731
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: a on a different radio show, charge that Keenan Lewis.

732
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,479
Speaker 1: I think it was ranks a hundred and sixteen among

733
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks in Pro football focuses ranking something like that.

734
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: So you definitely gotta go Devin Funches. Uh. For my

735
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: final receiver, Kelvin Benjamin B grade. The Saints easily the

736
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,959
Speaker 1: worst past events in the NFL three ninety seven yards

737
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: the game Benjamin has also caught six of eight U

738
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: caught six of eightd targeted balls last week for seventy

739
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: seven yards against the Bills, who are respectable defense plus,

740
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: the Saints have allowed a wide receiver to gain either

741
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: seventy five yards or score a touchdown twenty seven times

742
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: over their last thirty two games. Unfortunately, at Dixon as

743
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: the number one tight end in place of Greg Olson,

744
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't warrant a grade at all. Along with the

745
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: mere beard Russell Shepherd and five Whittaker Brown's takeown the Colts,

746
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: Brian and for Isaiah crow Well, it has been a

747
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: dismal start. Tell me this is the game where you

748
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: can put him in your your lineup with confidence. I

749
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: don't know about with confidence, but it's a game where

750
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: you can put him in your lineup. Even though the

751
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: Colts are surprisingly allowing two point five yards per carrying.

752
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: Uh those numbers are kind of propped by the clown

753
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: college backfield of the Cardinals sans David Johnson last week.

754
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: But Crowell is averaging just two point six yards per

755
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: carry himself. So if it's not you can start him

756
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: this week. I'm giving him a sea. But if he

757
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 1: doesn't get it done. Uh, it might be drops Ville

758
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: time for him. It's not not drop, but you're gonna

759
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: drop him from your consciousness. I think he's I think

760
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: he turns into more like a flex guy with a

761
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: bad game here. I think he already is a flex guy. Well,

762
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: depending on your roster. But anyway, Duke Johnson, I'm putting

763
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: him on the bench. Four carries on the season and

764
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: catch totals of two and three so far. So do

765
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: something first, Duke, and then we'll talk about you a

766
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: little more. Richard Higgins was might take a chance on

767
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: the wide receiver to shown Kaiser. It was here to

768
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,479
Speaker 1: take a chance on the quarterback. There's a nice little

769
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: pairing we mentioned in the beginning of the show if

770
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: you're chasing a lot of points from Rams or Niners players,

771
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: So check your waiver wire there. Over the Colts, Uh,

772
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: Tye Hilton, Tye t Y Hilton gets a b Cleveland

773
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 1: surrendered big game Santonio Brown and Jeremy Macklin. So there's

774
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: hope for Hilton this one. The Browns are obviously a

775
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: bit of relief for him after facing the Rams on

776
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: the road in Arizona last week. Much easier matchup for

777
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: t y as it is for Donte Moncreeve. Who's Jays

778
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: take a chance for me wide receiver Jack Doyle. I'm

779
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: giving an a probably on fan ball for he's probably

780
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: the top option. I would say it's gonna be very chalky,

781
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: justifiably so, though he's in a great spot. Cleveland has

782
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: been broodal against tight ends for years. They allowed two

783
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: touchdowns to Jesse James in Week one, thirteen catches for

784
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty one yards to Baltimore tight ends

785
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: last week. Uh Doyle caught all the of his targets

786
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: from Brissette last week. He'll continue to garner plenty of attention.

787
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: Uh Jacoby respect Brissette. Speaking of might take a chance

788
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: of the quarterback, this matchup is a riddle to take

789
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: a chance of me players. But and then there's Frank Gore.

790
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: Here's a nice stat from Jay. Uh sent it to

791
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: me yesterday. In eight of their last nine road games,

792
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: the opposing number one running back has topped one yards

793
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: indoors score a touchdown against the Cleveland Browns, and Marlon

794
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: Mack is out of this one, so Gore, we'll see

795
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: even more carries. A very solid play. I would be outstanding.

796
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: When we come back. Five hot questions, particularly for those

797
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: owners of DeMarco Murray, you will want to see if

798
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: you can go five and oh when we come back.

799

Speaker 1: prize winner. Last week's winner, Matthew Hartman. Matthew Hartman will

Speaker 1: be joining us at the winner's banquet, could be you.

811
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: Hot Question number one, what's the appropriate level of panic

812
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: for DeMarco Murray owners? None? Some or severe panic? Jay?

813
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: I have none. Um there's a perception out there that

814
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: Mary only dominates the action when the NFL world doubts

815
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: his progress. There's some validity to that, but at the

816
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: same time, once you get a healthy hamstring, I'm not

817
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: worried about him resuming his role as the RB one

818
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: for this year. All right, Shelley, revisit our storied history

819
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: of DeMarco Murray, and he really should because last preseason,

820
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: last preseason, where I was something of a soothsayer. The

821
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: problem is my vision is my my ability to forecast

822
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,479
Speaker 1: is so good, Brian, that I'm oftentimes a full year

823
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: ahead of myself. But but please continue, But then you're

824
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 1: you're on. Well we'll find out. I have severe panic

825
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: for DeMarco Murray. Uh. The bottom just fell out for

826
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: him last year, starting in Week nine. From that point on,

827
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: he hit twenty carries only twice and topped one hundred

828
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 1: yards just once. Derrick Henry, on the other hand, after

829
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: starting in Week nine average five. I'm sorry, he averaged

830
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: five carries per game in his first seven weeks and

831
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: did not score. Then after it's starting in week eight,

832
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: he averaged ten plus carries and scored five touchdowns for

833
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: the remainder of the season. He has looked great this

834
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: season so far. Derrick Henry, that is averaging five point

835
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: nine yards per carry. DeMarco Murray is averaging just three

836
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,439
Speaker 1: point three yards per carry. He's already banged up. He's

837
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: looking bad, and I'm very very I'm severely worried. Unfortunately,

838
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: don't own him anywhere, which the correct answer is severe.

839
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: While his hamstring is healing, he's giving Derrick Henry the

840
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: platform to show his potential as a bell count running back.

841
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: And what is he answered? Six yards per carry for

842
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry so far, Henry is uh, it's listen. I

843
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 1: think if you were to replay last year, you're doing

844
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: yourself at disservice here. Henry is an awesome back. He's

845
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: built for goal line use. And while it will, it

846
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: will return back to something of a time share, I'm

847
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: sure of it when Murray is fully healthy. But the

848
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: timeshare is gonna flip to what the opposite of what

849
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: it was last year. This thing is gonna be seventy

850
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 1: three seventy thirty Henry. And for Murray that's gonna mean

851
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a dicey flex guy most weeks, and

852
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: a guy you're gonna be, You're gonna be hoping can

853
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: cobble together a a meaningful fantasy game, much like Derrick

854
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: Henry's owners were in that situation last year. Now it's

855
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: gonna be Murray. You wouldn't drop him. But the appropriate

856
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: level of panic for a guy that you you picked

857
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: up at the end of the first round is severe.

858
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: Question number two. Appropriate level of panic for a J.

859
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: Green owners none, some or severe levels of panic? Brian,

860
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: it's none for me. I only panic with A. J.

861
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: Green if he's injured, coming off an injury, something along

862
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: those lines. He's one of He's one of eleven wide

863
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: receivers with double digit catches and at least a hundred

864
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: and forty receiving yards so far this year, he's fifth

865
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: and targets. He's an elite talent. I know the old

866
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: line is very dicey for since, but Green isn't a

867
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,439
Speaker 1: one trick pony who needs four seconds to run down

868
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: a stem route. He can get it done all over

869
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: the field. The Bengals will get him the ball as

870
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: long as he's healthy. I have no panic for EJ.

871
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: Gen Alright, J we're talking about a guy. He was

872
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 1: a reasonable candidate for a hundred catches, a hundred fifty targets,

873
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: and fift hundred receiving yards last year had he not

874
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: gotten injured. Okay, that ted catches one yards that he has. Now,

875
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: if it was in a vacuum, it wouldn't be that

876
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: big of a deal. I'm not really too worried about it. Plus,

877
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: keep in mind, over the next what nine games, Green

878
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 1: will face the Browns, the Colts, and the Titans. Uh,

879
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: well face the Browns twice, so he'll have four opportunities

880
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: against those teams over the next nine weeks. I do

881
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: like the schedule analysis here, but you should have some

882
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: level of panic on A. J. Green. Numbers aren't terrible,

883
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, but he hasn't scored. And here's why

884
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm worried. The offensive line is so bad. Dalton simply

885
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: cannot set up for passes downfield. And that's what we've

886
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: loved about A. J. Green, the explosive, big plays. Now

887
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: he's a chain mover right now because they can't set

888
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: up the downfield stuff. That's not going to change. We

889
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: want for him to live up to the top five

890
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: billing that most people gave him in the preseason. He

891
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: needs downfield past attempts. That offense is not gonna let

892
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: that happen. The offensive line will not let that happen.

893
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: Vann's hot question Number three Trevor Simeon leads all quarterbacks

894
00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: with seven total touchdowns trend or mirage, Jay, this is

895
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: an absolute mirrage basically over the last five years. To

896
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: finish number ten among quarterbacks for for touchdowns, you're basically

897
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: looking at it. Uh, you need thirty one, Okay, So

898
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: to finish tenth touchdown Yeah, to finish tenth, about that,

899
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 1: we'll see me in his career. But but to win

900
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: the title, you need to have a pace of what

901
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: two point eight touchdowns per game or is anything in

902
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: that forty four range. Keep in mind, see me in

903
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: has only hit that two point eight mark four times

904
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: in his career out of sixteen starts. I'll buy that

905
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: he is more confidence than ever. I'll buy that Thomason

906
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: Sanders are doing well. But keep in mind, the Broncos

907
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: have the number one rushing offense right now. There's just

908
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: no way, uh Simeon gets gets to forty touchdowns? All right, Brian, Yeah,

909
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: I don't have a whole lot to add there. I

910
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 1: just I also don't like simeon schedule moving forward. UM

911
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: this week against Buffalo, I don't think he's gonna need

912
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: to throw the ball a ton. Broncos should win that game.

913
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: Then he has Oakland next week. That's sort of a

914
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: neutral matchup, but then it's his he has a by

915
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: Giants at Chargers at Chiefs. Those are really tough matchups.

916
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: And uh, find someone in your league whos a believer

917
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: that this is the real deal, but that's not me,

918
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, trade Simeon to that guy and

919
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about it. You know, I didn't really

920
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: write the question the right way. What I meant it

921
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: to more mean is, broadly speaking, Trevor Simeon as a

922
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 1: good quarterback. Fan is a good fantasy quarterback Trenton Mirage.

923
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: But the way I wrote the question, you guys answered it.

924
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: Obviously he's not going to be the number one quarterback

925
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. I took your question

926
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: is top ten, like that's how and that is how

927
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: he meant. All right, good? Uh that for within the

928
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: realm of effectively a top ten or top twelve a

929
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: QB one, which is really where I was trying to

930
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: go with that question. The answer is trend He's got

931
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: viable targets all over the field. He's got two excellent receivers.

932
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: He's even looking to Virgil Green. He's got two pass

933
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: catching running backs and just eye test. If you if

934
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 1: for everybody who's leaning on what you saw last year,

935
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: and you didn't watch Trevor in the preseason and you

936
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: didn't watch him through these two games, you don't realize

937
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: that he is a different quarterback. Don't read last year.

938
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: He was a jittery guy with a wobbly arm and

939
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: an inaccurate passing. All that's disappeared this season. In this

940
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: his second year of work, he has gotten dramatically better

941
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: and he will be a QB one for the rest

942
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 1: of the year. Devan, he's hot. Question number four, that's

943
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 1: I don't love him this week. That's a tough matchup

944
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: this week. And he's gonna come to Earth this week.

945
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 1: And don't forget Dallas was forced to put a few

946
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 1: cowgirls in their secondary last week. I think four touchdown

947
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: pass that was certainly part of it. That was certainly

948
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:40,399
Speaker 1: it should Russell Wilson owners just drop him outright, Brian. So,

949
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is second in rushing attempts and rushing yards

950
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: among quarterbacks right now. That shows he's healthy on lake

951
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: last year. He's also second in passes from inside the

952
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: ten yard line, so he's active in the red zone

953
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: throwing the ball, which is good to see. Yes, we

954
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: know his offensive line is awful, but it was last

955
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: year too, when he managed to average van d passing yards,

956
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: one point eight passing touchdowns and twenty four rushing yards

957
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: over his final eight games when he when he got

958
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: sort of healthy at the end of last year. That's

959
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: over twenty points per game in standard fantasy leagues. I'm

960
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 1: not dropping him. I'm hoping he is a good showing

961
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: against Tennessee a soft secondary, and the Colts next week

962
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 1: another bad secondary, and then I'm trading and pisone who's

963
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: looking for a quarterback? All right, jay Uh. It's one

964
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: of those things. What can you live with? Basically at night,

965
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: can you sleep well dropping a guy? If I dropped

966
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, He'd be picked up before I woke up

967
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,479
Speaker 1: in the morning. It's that simple. He had five games

968
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: last year of three or more touchdowns. That's an elite level.

969
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: That's basically Matthew stat like maybe a little shade of

970
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford category there. Um. The Seahawks finally have clarity,

971
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: but they're passing attack in terms of Doug Ball win

972
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: Hie Lockett Uh Paul Richardson, Jimmy Graham, and c J.

973
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: Process as the receiving option. The Seattle O line isn't

974
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: necessarily built for power rushing compared to years past. This

975
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: tells me that he needs to throw the ball. And yes,

976
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: I know, he's had three straight games of under sixty

977
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: percent completion ray and no more than one touchdown. But

978
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 1: this is a short term thing, especially when you have

979
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: the Titans, Colts, Rams, forty Niners, Redskins, and Eagles all

980
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: coming up. Drop him right now. He's quarterback twenty seven

981
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: in fantasy scoring. I'm shocked you're saying, I know. It

982
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 1: is hard to believe, isn't it. Um. Yeah, well he

983
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: will he move up from twenty seven. Yeah, probably, but

984
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: there's no help coming for this offensive line. They have

985
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: no ability to make it better. The passing game is

986
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: contained to just dump off stuff. He's rarely afforded a

987
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: clean pocket. In the twenty games Russell Wilson has played

988
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: since the start of last year, including his rushing, he's

989
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: averaging one point three touchdowns per game. The context your

990
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: question suggests that he should get dropped if if you

991
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 1: bump him down to number two. That's basically in a

992
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: twelve team league. That's twenty four guys. He can easily

993
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: get in that top twenty four basically doing nothing. He's

994
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: twenty seven right now. We're gonna drop him out right

995
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: because you can go if you want, you gotta matchup

996
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: you like, you can go find him. Somebody else will

997
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: jump on him, and that's fine, and they can. They

998
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,760
Speaker 1: can enjoy his one point three touchdowns, his two hundred

999
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: thirty passing yards per game. Enjoy that wasn't even that's two,

1000
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 1: aren't thirty? Going back to last year, at least try

1001
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: this year, at least try to trade Simeon. You can't.

1002
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that. Let's absolutely do that.

1003
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: Hot question number five. In three games, Todd Gurley has

1004
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: already scored as many touchdowns as he scored all of

1005
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: last year. Are you selling high on Todd Gurley? Jay?

1006
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: I'm selling high in a public auction like where I

1007
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: tell every single owner that I'm selling and let's just

1008
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 1: see what we can get. Plus I have knowledge that

1009
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: uh in the next in the coming weeks, they've got

1010
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,760
Speaker 1: two games with the Seahawks, two games with the Cardinals,

1011
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: and four outings against the a f C South, which

1012
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,919
Speaker 1: is a lot better than you think against the run. Okay, yeah,

1013
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: and you failed to mention j in the matchup he

1014
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: has his by coming up at the Giants Houston at

1015
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: Minnesota following the bye. Those are all brutal matchups, but

1016
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: Gurly has looked good, especially catching the ball. Last year,

1017
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 1: the average two point seven catches and twenty received being

1018
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: yards per game, did not catch a touchdown. So far

1019
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,879
Speaker 1: this year he's doubled those numbers everaging more than four

1020
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: catches per game for he seven yards and has two

1021
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns. So yeah, you can get a king's ransom.

1022
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,439
Speaker 1: So I'm selling high on Gurly hot yea, I'm selling

1023
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: high to look I'm and I'm a total believer in

1024
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh and I think he's a butting offensive genius.

1025
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: But he's played the Colts, the Redskins and the forty

1026
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 1: Niners and now he gets into the meat of the

1027
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: schedule which you mentioned, Brian, and it is brutal, it

1028
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 1: is awful. He's got really one positive matchup between now

1029
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: and week seventeen when he sees the Niners again. That's it,

1030
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: just one really positive matchup. If you can get a

1031
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: king's ransom for Todd Gurley, go do it. Working one

1032
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 1: more matchup into the segment, and that is the Texans

1033
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 1: taking on the Patriots. Hang on, I just gotta flip

1034
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: a couple of pages here to get to that page.

1035
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: Here we go. Brady and gron robvious eight grades and

1036
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: Gronc should play through the groin injury practice all week

1037
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: on it. But let's just note this. Groin injuries are

1038
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: known to aggravate easily, so there's a little bit of

1039
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: danger and Gronc. Brandon Cooks also in a grade. Houston

1040
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: has not a lot of wide receiver touchdown this year,

1041
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: but they're giving up the sixth and they're giving up

1042
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 1: the six few s yards to the position. But injuries

1043
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: a huge factor this week. Cornerback Kevin Johnson already ruled

1044
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: out others. Starting quarnerback Jonathan Joseph left last week's game,

1045
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: and he's a true game time decision. Johnson's replacement is

1046
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 1: the untested Marcus Burley, which represents a great opportunity for

1047
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 1: Cooks and should draw. And Burley should draw Cooks most

1048
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: of this game. So I really like Brandon Cooks to

1049
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: break out of the two game mini slump that he's

1050
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: been in as a member of the Patriots. Let's stay

1051
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: with the passing offense a little further. Chris hogans if

1052
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph is active, I like Hogan lasts. If he doesn't,

1053
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: I really like him a lot. Uh. Joseph would draw

1054
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: this matchup mostly, and Brady's gonna have better options around

1055
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: the field if Joseph is on the field, Dan Hogan, So,

1056
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: Hogan's a C grade here. If Joseph is inactive, you

1057
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: can bump Hogan up to an A grade. Danny Amandola

1058
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: gets a C grade. He draws Houston's only health. He's

1059
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 1: starting cornerback slock eyed Kareem Jackson, who is solid. Uh,

1060
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,919
Speaker 1: not unbeatable, but he's solid. But I just think there's

1061
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: better options all around the field than Danny Amondola in

1062
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 1: this game. James White, as we segue to the running backs,

1063
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: Jaguars have allowed one running back receiving touchdown in their

1064
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: last twenties six games, so it's it's a tough matchup

1065
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: for James White here, and White was invisible in last

1066
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:26,359
Speaker 1: year's meeting between these two teams. Rex Burkehead, though, will

1067
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 1: not play in this game, So I've got a barely

1068
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: starting grade on James White, and then there's Mike Gillisle.

1069
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 1: Mike Gillisle has one more touchdown than all of the

1070
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: rest of the Patriots. I keep getting these questions like,

1071
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: do I you know, can I start gillis Lee again? Yes,

1072
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: you can always start Gillislee if you think the Patriots

1073
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: are gonna score more than a couple of touchdowns, even

1074
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: one touchdown, the single most likely guy to score any

1075
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 1: given Patriots touchdown is Mike gillis Lee. So if you

1076
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: think the Patriots are gonna score this week, say four touchdowns,

1077
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: and Gillsy is the most likely guy to score any

1078
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: of them. And he's again, he scored more than the

1079
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: rest of the rest team combined. You have to keep

1080
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,280
Speaker 1: starting him. The Patriots are gonna score as many touchdowns

1081
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: of the Asley can in this game because Bill O'Brien

1082
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 1: is of the Belichick tree, and Belichick loves to beat

1083
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 1: the ever living he does, doesn't he I won't say

1084
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: the word he's mercurial out of his former coaches and

1085
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: former teams. They throw against the Browns when they're up

1086
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: forty in the fourth quarter. It's amazing. When these teams

1087
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 1: played each other last year, Blunt la Garrett Blunt scored

1088
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: twice in the matchup. Gillis Lee is better than Blunt

1089
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: is I've gotta be grade on guilty because the yardage

1090
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 1: is not going to be there, but the touchdowns likely. Well,

1091
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: let's go to the Houston side. Lamar Miller gets a

1092
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: B grade. He's been home home to this point, averaging

1093
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: a scoreless sixty rushing yards per game. He has a

1094
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: good chance to end that streak this week, though, against

1095
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: the Patriots team that's allowed the most total yards to

1096
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: opposing running backs two hundred fourteen total yards to running

1097
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: backs on a per game basis. Thanks Kareem Hunt. Thanks

1098
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt. That's a lot of it, of course. Also,

1099
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 1: though let's keep an eye Lamar Miller's a beat, let's

1100
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: keep an eye in on Donta Foreman, whose workload increased

1101
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: sharply last week. He's available on your waiver wire. I

1102
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: think he's a guy you should strongly consider going and getting.

1103
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: Last week, he got thirteen carries, Miller had eighteen. I

1104
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 1: thought Foreman looked better of the two. The Patriots are

1105
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 1: gonna keep allowing these huge days to runners that could

1106
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,800
Speaker 1: feed two different runners, and I've actually got a C

1107
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: grade on form and it's starting grade on Foreman in

1108
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 1: this one. Last week, both mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara

1109
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: put up decent Fantasy gate days on the Patriots. Let's

1110
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 1: go to the passing game. The DeAndre Hopkins is the

1111
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: only guy you care about here. He leads the NFL

1112
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: and fourteen targets per game. But events, yeah, but against

1113
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, do you want to be the guy that

1114
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: Belichick knows that he needs to stop? Usually not. I

1115
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: mean that's the deal on Belichick. He takes away whatever

1116
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: you do best. Well, the only guy that even throw

1117
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 1: too is DeAndre Hopkins. So it's accursed as much of

1118
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,240
Speaker 1: a as much of a as it is a blessing.

1119
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: Where you get helped though, is that the pages have

1120
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: been torched by opposing receivers for two eleven yards and

1121
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: a touchdown per game. So I'm keeping a B grade

1122
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: on DeAndre Hopkins. But there is danger there. Deshaun Watson

1123
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,240
Speaker 1: is benchable. His arm is not gonna get you wins.

1124
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: Maybe you could consider his legs here, but I don't know.

1125
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:20,479
Speaker 1: Russian quarterbacks Colin Kaepernick put up thirty two scoreless yards

1126
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: against the Patriots last year. Tyrod Taylor had forty eight

1127
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: yards and one score, so maybe there's an angle with

1128
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 1: the legs, but I don't love Watson in this matchup.

1129
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll pound through many more matchups,

1130
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: including the Raiders taking on the Redskins. Marshawn Lynch. Will

1131
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 1: he be dancing on the sidelines again? Find out when

1132
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 1: we returned to Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. Welcome

1133
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 1: back to the show. It's Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fans.

1134
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:59,919
Speaker 1: Don't normally do a lot of groveling here, but we're

1135
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: we're grabbling a little bit because we we lost our

1136
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: eight or nine year old iTunes feed for this show,

1137
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: and now we had to start a new iTunes feed,

1138
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: so we lost, you know, years and years of rankings

1139
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 1: and comments and stuff like that. If particularly if you

1140
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: like the show, we hope you'll go back to iTunes

1141
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: and help other people find it by leaving us ratings

1142
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 1: and reviews for the show. Let's go back to the matchups.

1143
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: Raiders take on the Redskins. Marshall and Lynch turned only

1144
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: I think like thirty thirty plays into a pretty solid

1145
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: game last week. What do you do you like him

1146
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: here against the Redskins? JA? Yes, I do. I've got him,

1147
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: uh for a B grade. Keep in mind that Todd

1148
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: Gurley last week against the they thank you, thank you,

1149
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 1: he had a hundred and three six toty yards and

1150
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Then keep in mind that Marshawn of his

1151
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: last twelve games against the NFC East, he has notched

1152
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: a hundred total yards intoor one touchdown ten different times.

1153
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: And for that towards stretch with Seattle, he averaged a

1154
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: hundred twenty three tot yards and one point one touchdowns

1155
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: per game. I wish that the you know, the same

1156
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 1: NFC East guys were still on the field from three

1157
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: and four years ago. That would be great. I'm just

1158
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: saying he has had an incredible history against that division

1159
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. I've got Derek Carr for an eight grade.

1160
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: He's my number one quarterback for the week, so I'll

1161
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: keep it short. Uh. Then I've got Michael Crabtree coming

1162
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: off a three touchdown game last week. He also has

1163
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: an A grade. Of his last twenty four regular season outings,

1164
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: he's accomplished either eighty five receiving yards in or one

1165
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: touchdown sixteen times, and during that span he's collected double

1166
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: digit targets nine times and produced two different games of

1167
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Amari Cooper gets a B grade, basically feeding

1168
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: off cars A grade for the week. Uh, he won't

1169
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: have the attention of Josh Norman or likely won't have

1170
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 1: it from the majority of the game, and of his

1171
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: last what six road games, Mari has collected eight or

1172
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: more targets five different times. At tight end, I've got

1173
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: Jared Cooke with the C grade. Cook shockingly owns top

1174
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: twelve tallies among tight ends for both catches and targets

1175
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: and for opposing teams the tight ends their team's reception.

1176
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: Of the last two weeks, We've got Zach Ertz and

1177
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett basically leading their teams and receptions and targets

1178
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: against the Redskins. All right, for Cousins, I've got him

1179
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: number four for the week. I think Raiders Redskins will

1180
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 1: be the highest scoring game on Sunday, So I think

1181
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: Cousins number four grade. I'm not really worried about anything.

1182
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: I will say this. Of his last six nationally televised

1183
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: games since the two thousand fifteen playoffs, for that exclusive window,

1184
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: check this out. Cousins is average three and seventy six

1185
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: yards passing and one and a half touchdowns for whatever

1186
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: it is. Plus, the Raiders are twelve ranked against the

1187
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: past this year. Uh, Rob, here's the deal with the

1188
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: running backs, Rob Kelly, Chris Thompson's Magi Ryan. We don't

1189
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen yet. We need to almost wait

1190
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: until Sunday night. But then we're gonna be in the

1191
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 1: bind because we don't know what's going on with Rob

1192
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: Kelly and his injured rip. You might miss the game.

1193
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: He might put on a flat jacket and test it.

1194
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 1: You know. I think for Kelly and p Ryan, p

1195
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: Ryan is basically a C grade. If Kelly sits. Uh.

1196
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,919
Speaker 1: If Kelly plays, Kelly's a C grade and p Ryan

1197
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 1: you don't do anything for him. Chris Thompson, I'll give

1198
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: him a C plus basically because I think Kirk Cousins

1199
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: will need to rely on them in the passing game.

1200
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 1: But this, this whole segment is all about the receivers, Okay,

1201
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 1: and the tight end Tarrell Prior gets a B grade. Okay,

1202
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: Posing wide receiver ones have average what six and a

1203
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: half catches, sixty eight yards and one touchdown against Raiders

1204
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: this season. He had double digit targets at home. For

1205
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 1: Week one, Jamison Crowder, I'm going real quick on Prior. Sorry,

1206
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 1: it's a revenge game for him against the right. He's

1207
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: had like four other teams to have a revenge game.

1208
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: Back was going to play one team this week, and

1209
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 1: it's they gave up on quarterback Terrell Prior. Maybe they

1210
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 1: didn't give him a chance to be wide receiver and

1211
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: maybe that never No, now he's gonna show him. Yeah, Okay,

1212
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder, I know he struggled since getting that essential

1213
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 1: promotion to the R wide receiver too, by I'm giving

1214
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 1: him a B grade this week. He's obviously he's going

1215
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: against the four rank pass defense plus. For Week one,

1216
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: Tessa's Corey Davis collected six catches, ten targets in sixty

1217
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: nine receiving yards. And for Week two, Jermaine Curse had

1218
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: two touchdowns sixty four yards against the Raiders, So I

1219
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 1: like him there. And for Jordan Read, Jordan Read is

1220
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: my number one tight end for the week. I know

1221
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 1: he's been nicked up a little, but he still has

1222
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: to catch the target ratio of eight percent this year

1223
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: while working himself back in the shape and then keep

1224
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: in mind the Raiders were bottom ten defense against the

1225
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 1: past last season and allowed Delaney Walker to register seven

1226
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 1: catches and seventy six yards a Week one Dolphins take

1227
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: on the Jets. For the Dolphins side, is there anything

1228
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: left after ja Agi gets done running through what was

1229
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: once a great Jets run defense and is now terrible.

1230
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: We'll see, But yeah, Ji, he gets the fantasy fons

1231
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 1: a this this week. A one of two running backs

1232
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 1: to carry the ball more than twenty five times last week.

1233
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: Hit that bell cow button if you want. Without Sheldon Richardson,

1234
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: the Jets are allowing five point four yards per carry.

1235
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: Music to my years that never gets old. And New

1236
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: York also owns the second highest opponent rushing play percentage.

1237
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 1: So with Ji, he's gonna eat in this one. I'm

1238
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 1: gonna give Jarvis Landry a B and PPR and C

1239
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 1: and standard leagues. That's basically the story of his life

1240
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: and fantasy football. Only caught three passes in both games

1241
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 1: against the Jets last year, three in each game. Uh

1242
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: did see thirteen targets last week and Jets slot corner

1243
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: Buster Screen has been torched many time, many a time

1244
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: in his career and been ribbed on this show many

1245
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 1: times as well, So good matchup for Jarvis Landry as

1246
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 1: it is for Devanta Parker. Even though we only had

1247
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: one catch for seventeen yards and two catches for eight

1248
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 1: yards against the Jets last season, we also went Michael

1249
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: Crabtree did to New York last week. Davanta Parker is

1250
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: certainly cut from the same cloth. Went healthy. He was

1251
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: missing practice with an ankle injury, but he returned in

1252
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 1: full yesterday. But I just don't know how much the

1253
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins are gonna need to throw in this game, so

1254
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: that's why he's getting a B and not in a

1255
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: Julius Thomas is going on the bench. Decent matchup, but

1256
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: the last time he topped thirty receiving yards was Week

1257
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 1: two of sen so he's got to prove it before

1258
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: he can play on anyone's fantasy team. And then Jay

1259
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 1: Cutler was going to take a chance on the quarterback chart,

1260
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: and then for the Jets. Not a whole lot to

1261
01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: talk about here other than Jermaine Curse, who gets his.

1262
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: Of course, Jermaine Curs is tied for second and wide

1263
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 1: receiver touchdowns with J. J. Nelson, Nelson Aghilar, Kenny Golladay

1264
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 1: and Benny Fowler two weeks into the season. Miami has

1265
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: allowed double digit PPR points to ten different wide receivers

1266
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: over the last six games, and Curs has been the

1267
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,959
Speaker 1: only wide receiver worth throwing too. So we should see

1268
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: some heavy volume in this one, and then I'm benching

1269
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: the running backs. No back has more than fifteen carries

1270
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 1: or seventy yards on the season with a gun to

1271
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 1: my head. I'll play him at fourte because of his

1272
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 1: six catches and fifty eight receiving yards. But I'm not

1273
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: giving up on below palele charge. I haven't many leagues

1274
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm holding four day is gonna retire. I'm sticking to that.

1275
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 1: What you better to stick to the narrative because it's

1276
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 1: been brutal so far. Has Um. Speaking of Jermaine Curse,

1284
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: get in this game, correct, Cowboys take on the Cardinals.

1285
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 1: Zeke mailed it in last week and now things don't

1286
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: get any easier this week against the Cardinals defense that's

1287
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: holding opposing running backs to two point five yards per carry.

1288
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: They ranked number one against the run last year, they're

1289
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 1: excellent against the run this year. Zeke's just a B

1290
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 1: starter for me, and honestly, he would trend more towards

1291
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: Seed than a let's go to the passing game or

1292
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is a C grade. It's only two games,

1293
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 1: but so far, Dak I don't to my eyes, Dak

1294
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 1: hasn't evolved as a sophomore. Trevor Simeons evolved more than

1295
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: I've seen Dak Prescott evolved in from year one to

1296
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: year two. Now it's in Parks. Turer Simming was a

1297
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 1: lot worse last year, but anyway, his accuracy has been

1298
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: worse than last year. It took him fifty passes Dac

1299
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 1: fifty passes last week to get to two hundred thirty

1300
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 1: eight yards. That's it. He'll travel to Arizona. He faces

1301
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: a solid secondary with Tony j Offerson and Patrick Peterson

1302
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: and Honey Badger. Speaking of Honey badger. You know, he's

1303
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 1: not that good anymore. He's he draws the slot coverage

1304
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 1: and that means cool Beasley. But he's been bad. He

1305
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 1: was shaky last year, he's been bad this year. I

1306
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 1: think it's a solid opportunity for col Beasley comes in

1307
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: with a C grade. Des Bryant C grade, that's it.

1308
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 1: And he ranked second in the NFL twenty three targets.

1309
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 1: So they're throwing the balls away a lot. But this

1310
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 1: is a tough matchup. He'll get Patrick Peterson for the

1311
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: whole game. Peterson held t Y Hilton to four receptions

1312
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: in forty nine yards last week. In their previous matchup,

1313
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: which was Peterson held Dez Bryant too to catches fifteen

1314
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 1: yards on ten targets, so a lot. Let him not

1315
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 1: like about Dez Bryant in this game. Let's flip over

1316
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 1: the Arizona side. Jay's take a chance to the quarterback

1317
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: was Carson Palmer. I've gotta be grade on him. I

1318
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 1: like him as well. Larry Fitzgerald should get some extra

1319
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: action this week because John Brown has already been ruled out.

1320
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 1: J J. Nelson may not play in this game. He

1321
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 1: looks like a true game time decision. The passing offense

1322
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: should go through Larry Fitzgerald here. Be sure to check

1323
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: out especially Orlando Scandrick's status. He is the slot cornerback

1324
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: who would guard him. Scandrick did not play last week,

1325
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: and he's a game time decision. If Scandrick doesn't go.

1326
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 1: I really like Fitzgerald and he would bump up to

1327
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: a potential A grade without Orlando Scandrick in As for J. J. Nelson,

1328
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: it's the hamstring injury that I mentioned earlier. He has

1329
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: scored in six of the last seven, so if he

1330
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 1: does go, still a good start. This is a secondary

1331
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: likely without cornerbacks Nolan Carroll and m Chi Dobie. A

1332
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: woozy I think is how you say it, a woozy.

1333
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna go with that. You are correct, Yes, the

1334
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 1: first time I've gotten that right. If J J. Nelson

1335
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 1: doesn't go, consider Geron Brown as a sneaky pick up

1336
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire and start against this beat up

1337
01:06:55,960 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 1: secondary on the bench. Kerwin Williams start be great on

1338
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson, easily the most effective runner for the Cardinals

1339
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 1: last week, and he'll get the bulk of the carries.

1340
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 1: It gets a team that just allowed Denver to roll

1341
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: up one hundred seventy eight rushing yards last week. How

1342
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 1: hard was it for you to just say be john

1343
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 1: or be great for Chris Johnson? I hate you know,

1344
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 1: you know what I feel about christ Johnson. I'm not

1345
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of Chris Johnson at all, but

1346
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: the reality is he's the best runner on that team

1347
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: and this is a pretty darn good matchup. When we

1348
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 1: come back, we sell three more matchups to go. We've

1349
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: got premature speculation to go, and we will try to

1350
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 1: work in some phone calls as well. Enlightened final second

1351
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Advantasy Football Weekly Fault Charchi and Brian Johnson, Jake Clemens

1352
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 1: with you premature speculation, guys, you can pick up this

1353
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 1: week that are I'm generally on the waiver wire that

1354
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 1: people will be trying to get next week, but you

1355
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 1: already got him. I love that, Jay who you got?

1356
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 1: I've got Davante Booker running for the Broncos his last

1357
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: ten games last year as a rookie, height total yards

1358
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 1: in or one touchdown six different times. For the final

1359
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 1: two weeks. He had ten targets of Week sixteen, and

1360
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 1: then a hundred nine totally yards and two touchdowns week seventeen. Basically,

1361
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 1: had he not gotten hurt, he might have been the

1362
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 1: guy right now, So go ahead and jump and get him.

1363
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 1: He's a must handcuff for anyone that owns C. J. Anderson.

1364
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 1: I'm going Jets tight end Austin Seferian Jenkins. I mean

1365
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 1: the guy who was so fat. They're not gonna lot

1366
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: on the field this week. That's not confirmed yet, guy

1367
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: just roll. That makes him more of a premature speculation

1368
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: because he will be further along next week. And I

1369
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: don't like the match up a whole lot this week.

1370
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 1: Uh But starting Week four Jacksonville, Cleveland, New England, Miami, Atlanta,

1371
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: those are all plus matchups outside of New England for

1372
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:48,720
Speaker 1: tight ends I don't know right now, will Tie and

1373
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 1: Eric Tomlinson, who cares about those guys that are in

1374
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 1: John tight ends, A s J will come in and

1375
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 1: bump them right down on the depth chart. Don't forget

1376
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 1: Gary Barnage was a pro bowler because of Josh McCown.

1377
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 1: I could do the same for a s J, who

1378
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 1: is arguably the most physically talented pass catcher on that team,

1379
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: went in shape, transforming his life. Give him a shot.

1380
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 1: We'll see what you can do. My premature speculation guys

1381
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:14,680
Speaker 1: Orleans dark Wa running back for the Giants. He's not

1382
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:17,799
Speaker 1: a special talent, but Paul Perkins is averaging one point

1383
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 1: nine yards per carry. That makes dark One was career

1384
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 1: ravage of three point nine looking downright explosive. This is

1385
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: a desperate Giants team and a desperate coaching staff. They

1386
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 1: will be making changes to this offense and dark One

1387
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,719
Speaker 1: could emerge as the primary ball carrier as quickly as

1388
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 1: this week, and frankly I would welcome it. We also

1389
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,759
Speaker 1: touched on donte form and earlier in the show recommend

1390
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 1: him for the for as a pick upout opportunity as

1391
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 1: well if he is if he is available, All right,

1392
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: let's get down to our final set of matchups. Chiefs

1393
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 1: take on the Chargers. Jay cream Mont obvious start, Yes,

1394
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 1: obvious a tailback leader in rushing yards, receiving yards and touchdowns. Boom,

1395
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:57,599
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, I've got a C grade for him. Yes,

1396
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers have a good past defense statistically, but uh

1397
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: Smith last year two games average three hundred thirteen passing

1398
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. I've got a B grade for

1399
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. Uh. Slot receivers have either scored two touchdowns

1400
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: or posted double digit catches versus the Bolts this season.

1401
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:19,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Flowers one of those slot defenders. He's allowed the

1402
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 1: third most yardage per snap of any quarterback last season

1403
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 1: night Travis Kelsey. It would be an A grade, but

1404
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: I do have one small caveat. He has never scored

1405
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 1: against the Chargers, so he's like a B plus. Uh.

1406
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 1: Then for the Chargers, h Philip Rivers has a B

1407
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:37,640
Speaker 1: grade UH the Chiefs currently against the pass uh for

1408
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: this year, Rivers is either thrown for three hundred yards

1409
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,280
Speaker 1: or or tally three touchdowns per outing. The only downside

1410
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 1: is he's never accounted for three hundred yards passing and

1411
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 1: or three touchdowns in his last six games against the Chiefs.

1412
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon is an A grade. Just move on. Keenan Allen.

1413
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: A lot of people were doubting him, but I think

1414
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: he's risen up. Uh. It's Antonio Brown, DeAndre Hopkins and

1415
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen are the only two NFL whiteos to have

1416
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 1: double digit targets for both weeks one and two. That's

1417
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 1: the list. Uh. Tybrell Williams, I've given him a great

1418
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: see He's average five catches sixty yards, six targets his

1419
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,599
Speaker 1: last three games. That's not so great, but the Chiefs

1420
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 1: ranked seven against the past. Here's the thing. I don't

1421
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 1: see Marcus Peters defending Tybrell Williams very much. Marcus Peters

1422
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 1: was the number two cornerback according to Pro Football Focus

1423
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 1: last year. Tyrrell is spared from that experience, and for

1424
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 1: a C grade at tight end, I've got Hunter Henry

1425
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 1: who bounced back from me an invisible Week one to

1426
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 1: post seven catches and eight yards last year. And then

1427
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 1: keep in mind Zach Ertz at five catches and ninety

1428
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 1: seven yards against the Chiefs in Week two. Bengals take

1429
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 1: out in the Packers the Bengals offense, and needless to

1430
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 1: say is everybody's fully aware no touchdowns. Yet you get

1431
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 1: on the board this time? I think so. A J.

1432
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 1: Green Starr with him. Give him an a just because

1433
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 1: ESPN's Teddy Bruski predicts the left two hundred yards in

1434
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 1: this game. So if he doesn't tweeked Teddy, it's his fault. Uh.

1435
01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 1: Brandon LaFell gonna give him to see. La Fell has

1436
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 1: twelve targets this year, as opposed to Tyler Boy, John

1437
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 1: Ross and something called Cody core who have combined for

1438
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:08,599
Speaker 1: six tarts in the day you did uh. Tyler Effort

1439
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 1: is out of this game, so Lafel has sneaky upside

1440
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 1: and a likely shootout scenario. Number two receivers have fared

1441
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: well against Green Bay. Joe Mixon is the only running back.

1442
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm giving a starting great Joe and give him a sea.

1443
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 1: He is being out snapped by Joe Bernard, but has

1444
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 1: got more touches than any other Bengals running back. Last week,

1445
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,719
Speaker 1: the Packers surrendered one forty five yards and three touchdowns

1446
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:29,600
Speaker 1: with Lanta running backs, and offensive coordinator Bill Laser is

1447
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 1: on the hot seat. He's got to give him Mixing

1448
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 1: the ball and give him the ball first. What Kaye's yea,

1449
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:40,600
Speaker 1: but he does not want to be on the hot

1450
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 1: seat like the old guy who wasn't giving the ball

1451
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 1: to Joe. I do believe there's a good scenario, a good,

1452
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 1: a good case to be made for trading four Joe

1453
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:52,320
Speaker 1: Mixon right now because he's dirt cheap and it and

1454
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 1: Bill Laser will probably shake some things up, including let's

1455
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: get the most talented running back we've got on the

1456
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 1: field a lot more often. P Us he cannot like

1457
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 1: he cannot do any worse than they've already done. No, Yeah,

1458
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 1: to know where to go, but up basically what I

1459
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 1: was going with there than Andy Dalton desperation see a

1460
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:08,400
Speaker 1: healthy ife road and make it more viable, and I'd

1461
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 1: rather go with to take a chance on the quarterback

1462
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:12,640
Speaker 1: in this game. For the Packers, Aaron Rodgers a for

1463
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: auto start. Uh Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams. I'll give

1464
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 1: them both in a even though Jordi is a question

1465
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 1: questionable he is expected to play um Randall Cobb is out,

1466
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,639
Speaker 1: that nice Geronimo or not out, but he's looking doubtful

1467
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 1: likely will be out. That makes Geronimo Allison a thing. Again.

1468
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 1: I would go grab him, especially if you're a Cobo

1469
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: and aren't expecting to start him in this game. With

1470
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:34,719
Speaker 1: Cob about Alison could see a healthy amount of targets.

1471
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 1: I'll give Martell's Bennett a desperation see uh since he's

1472
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 1: not great against sight ends, but they've only faced Baltimore

1473
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:45,120
Speaker 1: and Houston and uh so without Cobb, I think that

1474
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 1: opens up the middle to feel a little bit for Bennett.

1475
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 1: But Bennett had a bad, bad game last week. A

1476
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:53,320
Speaker 1: bunch of drops and he was he looked terrible. Richard

1477
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 1: rod Richard Rodgers and Lance Kendricks are annoyances. They've combined

1478
01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 1: to steal eight targets too. They always step in at

1479
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 1: the wrong time. So yeah, I'm a bench and Benett

1480
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:02,440
Speaker 1: Now I've changed my mind, all right, and time Montgomery

1481
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 1: gets a b has garnered twenty nine of Green Bay's

1482
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 1: thirty three rushing attempts, but it's only gained eighty nine

1483
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: yards on twenty nine carries a long run of eight yards.

1484
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 1: With injuries on the Packers offensive line, Montgomery could see

1485
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:16,439
Speaker 1: a lot more work in the passing game. Houston running

1486
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:18,599
Speaker 1: backs had six catches last week, so that's probably how

1487
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 1: it makes make his head in this game Seattle. It

1488
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:25,639
Speaker 1: takes on Tennessee as our final matchup, and Russell Wilson

1489
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:27,720
Speaker 1: earlier I recommended that you just drop him out right.

1490
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 1: I've got a C grade on him here. I think

1491
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 1: gets startable, but you know, these first half the seasons

1492
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 1: are killing him. In the last three seasons and games

1493
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: played in the first half of the year, he's got

1494
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,800
Speaker 1: just two games he's had more than one touchdown, and

1495
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 1: so I think we're looking at one and maybe we

1496
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 1: can eke out a second touchdown out of out of

1497
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Here. Tennessee is allowed only only three passing

1498
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:49,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the two games, So you know, we'll try

1499
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:51,240
Speaker 1: to get to one touchdown here. If it's gonna go

1500
01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:53,679
Speaker 1: to somebody, it's probably gonna go to Baldwin, who's leading

1501
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 1: the team in every receiving category. That's not saying a

1502
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 1: lot though. Leading the team in every receiving category in

1503
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 1: Seattle means you're five catches for fifty two yards and

1504
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 1: no touchdowns. Uh, Tennessee allowed. The has allowed the seventh

1505
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:08,760
Speaker 1: most yards and second most um touchdowns too wide receivers

1506
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,080
Speaker 1: last year. So you know, maybe there's something to be

1507
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 1: had here for Baldwin. But I don't love it. Let's

1508
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 1: stay with that. Let's go with Jimmy Graham. He's gonna

1509
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: try to try to play hurt with an ankle injury,

1510
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:20,599
Speaker 1: but just four catches for nine yards so far. They're

1511
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:23,280
Speaker 1: making him staying in block and he's gonna be a

1512
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 1: game time decision, so he's on the bench. I don't

1513
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:26,439
Speaker 1: think you can go with him here. And then for

1514
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 1: Richardson and Lockett, they kind of cannibalize each other. I don't.

1515
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't think there's enough success here to go around

1516
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,920
Speaker 1: against against Tennessee for you to feel confident with either one.

1517
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:38,559
Speaker 1: But they could share a touchdown. But I don't have

1518
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:40,680
Speaker 1: a strong feeling for either one for which one might

1519
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 1: have more success. So I recommend to leave both on

1520
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 1: the bench, and I've got bench grades on them. Let's

1521
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 1: suck Chris Carson. Tennessee is not allowed more than seventy

1522
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 1: six rushing yards in any game and does lead. However,

1523
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and all the Russian categories get twenty touches

1524
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 1: last week, which was great. Uh. The X factor here,

1525
01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:00,880
Speaker 1: those Thomas Rawls he rolled in last week's game is

1526
01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:03,200
Speaker 1: a game time decision with an ankle injury, and now

1527
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:05,719
Speaker 1: he's healthy, He's not even on the injury report. Rawls

1528
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:08,040
Speaker 1: may end up getting more looks than he got last week,

1529
01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 1: and that could eat into into Carson. I've got a

1530
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:13,160
Speaker 1: C grade on Carson against a good Tennessee run defense,

1531
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Tennessee side. No Corey Davis in

1532
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:18,400
Speaker 1: this game. He will not play, and that that hurts

1533
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,080
Speaker 1: this passing offense. I've got C grades around for most

1534
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 1: of the members of the passing offense. Mariota's a sea.

1535
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: He has not scored multiple touchdowns since a way back

1536
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:29,479
Speaker 1: in Week twelve of last year, and Seattle's past defense

1537
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:33,720
Speaker 1: remains a lite. Aside from Aaron Rodgers. The average quarterback

1538
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 1: game against the against against the Seahawks going back to

1539
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 1: last year nine passing yards per game, just zero point

1540
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. All right, and moving on, Let's go to

1541
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 1: uh tight end. Delanny Walker. Seattle is allowed just three

1542
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 1: tight end scores in the last twenty games, so he's

1543
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 1: only a C grade. As well. I mentioned Corey Davis

1544
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: is out. That means that Richard Matthews gets Richard Sherman,

1545
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 1: so he's dead to us. Opposite him, Eric Decker, if

1546
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 1: you want your five catches for fifty yards and at

1547
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 1: least he's not on Sherman, he can help you that way. Lastly,

1548
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 1: let's go to the running back. So he talked about

1549
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: Murray and Henry a lot. Murray comes into this game

1550
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: of the hamstring injury. Don't even know if he's gonna play.

1551
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:13,599
Speaker 1: He hasn't topped forty four yards rushing in four straight

1552
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 1: games going back to last year. Henry's the man right now.

1553
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:19,360
Speaker 1: Six yards per carry. Murray may not go. He gets

1554
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 1: a B grade. Fourteen carries last week, and he looked

1555
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: good in him in every game in which he has

1556
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 1: had four teen carries or more than throughout his career,

1557
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 1: he has scored a touchdown. Last week, Carlos Hide rolled

1558
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:32,719
Speaker 1: up one hundred yards on Seattle. If you have Henry

1559
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 1: in your lineup, keep him in there even if Murray plays. Yeah,

1560
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 1: I agree with that. To him there be great for Henry,

1561
01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:40,559
Speaker 1: and I don't know that changes much with a hobbled

1562
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:44,680
Speaker 1: Henry or hobbled Murray on the field. All Right, We're

1563
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:46,280
Speaker 1: gonna try to work in a few phone calls here

1564
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 1: at the bitter end. I'm sorry it took this long,

1565
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:50,719
Speaker 1: but we will do our best to get to your calls.

1566
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:52,599

Speaker 1: backs and from to start, but that's not gonna work

1576
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:31,600
Speaker 1: for a no loan. I need you to bring it

1577
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:35,000
Speaker 1: down to two, Brian. So how about I asked between

01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 1: Baltimore against Border Party all day. Yeah, there's a great

1580
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 1: opportunity for them. And one other question, why don't you

1587
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:09,639

01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:11,880
Speaker 1: the craft beat because I have Jimmy Graham. I don't

1590
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:17,559

01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 1: Death Brian, and he only got a C grade for

1613
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:37,639
Speaker 1: me in this game. And it looks like a brutal

1614
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:39,920
Speaker 1: matchup with Patrick Peterson. So I just I don't like

1615
