WEBVTT - Fantasy Football Weekly week 3 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.480 That about that. I am Paul charging my coast today 0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:08.559 or Jay Clemens and Brian Johnson. Hello, guys, good, thank you. 0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:11.080 There's um let's just talk briefly about what to do 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:12.799 if you're in a big hole, which could have happened 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:15.159 when there were eighty point game on Thursday. You're in 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:18.360 a big hole coming into this Sunday. I think the 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:21.520 angle here is I try to put together quarterback wide 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:24.759 receiver hookups and hope you get at least one and 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:28.040 maybe two touchdowns out of that hook up. And that's 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:29.960 a way that you can you know, you're adding risk, 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:32.400 but you're also adding a reward into your mix, and 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:34.440 I think that makes uh. I think that's one of 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:36.800 the ways that you can overcome try to overcome the 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.480 big the big lead. If you're like me and played 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:45.520 a sicko who had the goth girly Watkins stack on out. Yep, 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:47.640 I'm gonna shoot for the moon this week. You gotta 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.960 you know. I'm having some regret. I liked the Rams 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:52.680 to bounce back, and if you recall back to our 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:54.760 Week one show, I had Jared goff as might take 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:57.400 a chance at the quarterback. I wish I'd just spread 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.800 that analysis out over the whole season, you know, and 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:02.639 just said, you know, for the whole season. I think 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.520 Jared gott and I did think that. I thought the 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.560 whole rams are going to be better, but I should 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:10.080 have been a little bolder about about season long predictions 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.160 with that. Um Any quick thoughts on Cooper Cup after 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:17.520 too straight disappointing games in the big week one, probably 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.840 a drop in redraft leagues. I'm holding in dynasty though. 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.160 I think he's got potential and you never know with Watkins, 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.039 he could go down at any moment. Yeah, I think 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.080 we need a little perspective. There was a pass I 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:30.560 think it was in the third quarter where it was 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.080 basically in Cup's hands and it was not loose just 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.319 at the very last second. Uh. He might have scored 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.080 on that play as well. So it's one of those 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.959 things where if he gets that play, maybe we don't 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.840 even have these kind of negative feelings going forward. There's 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.520 been a lot of jeering over my preseason optimism for 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.880 the forty Niners offense, but they played two great defenses 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.440 in weeks one and two, and I think what we 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.280 saw what they can do when they when they get 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.720 a more standard opponent. I do think there's still remains 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:58.920 a lot of upside with those Niners harder than us either. No, yeah, 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.920 he looks, he looks. He How about that catche catch 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:03.800 of the year is already in the books. It's over. 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:05.280 That was catch of the year. I don't care what 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.720 Odell Beckham does the rest of the season. That was 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:09.680 catch of the year. Over the course of the show, 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.240 we'll do our five tough questions are premature speculation, um, 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.000 and we will give you nine guys upon whom you 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.120 can take a chance. We begin rolling right into our matchups. 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:20.679 We've got a full slide of games to get to. 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.640 We begin with the Steelers taking on the Bears. J Okay, 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:27.560 let's go Big Bend. I've got him as a B 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.280 for the week. The positives are of the Bears brank 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.160 against the past. A noticeable departure from last year's top 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:38.000 ten ranking. On the bad side or the math side, uh, 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.880 Big Ben is accounted for just zero or one touchdown 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.359 in seven of his last ten road outings and plus 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.200 for the regular season last year, Ben only at nine 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:52.240 touchdown passes any completion rate below on the road. Yeah, 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.600 he averages one touchdown pass per road game over the 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:58.120 last three seasons. Uh. For Leivian Belle, I've got him, 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.560 you know in a UM. I know he struggled a 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.799 little bit, but you know, the Bears have already allowed 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.400 three touchdowns to opposing running backs this year and they 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.160 had the NFL's six worst rushing defense from last year. 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.000 Plus Bell is in that third week where you perceive 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.959 him did finally be in football shape. Um. He's getting 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.440 the touches, he's getting the carries. James Connor is not 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.359 a threat. I'm absolutely confident that Bell will be top 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.680 five this week among the receivers. I've got. Antonio Brown 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.720 is an a. UM. You know his last fifteen road outings. Uh, 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.880 he's had a hundred totaly yards indoor, one touchdown ten times. 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.280 He's not going against Davy roads. He's an easy a. 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.480 I've got Martvis Bryant for a b um. He made 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.840 the most of his four targets last week, three catches, 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.720 ninety one yards and a touchdown going against Trey Wings. 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.120 We kind of figured that would do go well. Um. 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:47.040 Ed Bouchett of the Pittsburgh He's big Pittsburgh guy, Sather's columnist. 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:49.640 He was saying that Brian has been the best player 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.360 they've had in camp, preseason, all summer. UM, So I 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.480 take that into account. UM. The Bears whole bottom ten 0:03:55.560 --> 0:04:00.440 rankings with passing yards, points allowed, and defensive interceptions this season. UH. 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.320 The only positive I can say is the Chicago secondary 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.640 has held the opposing wide receiver two to just four 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.280 and a half catches, forty three yards and zero touchdowns 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.400 through two weeks. That's said, I still like Brian in 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.320 the beak category. UH. For Jesse James, I've got him 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.760 as a C. On the good side, he has collected 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:20.599 five targets in his last four outings, including the playoffs. UH. 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.120 For this season through weeks one and two, the Bears 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.560 have cumulatively allowed a hundred and sixty nine yards receiving 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.000 and one touchdown to opposing tight ends. So that makes 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.680 James semi relevant. Yeah. On the downside, James has never 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.760 scored a touchdown against the non conference foe. I know 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.080 that's not a big deal, but it it's just worth noting. 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.279 And he might have missed his window in terms of 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.839 getting consistent red zone targets. Now that Bryant is, you 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.120 know of clear mind, clear body, and Bell should be 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:47.839 getting a lot. So there we go. All right, let's 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.080 flip to the other side of the ball. Okay, for 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.880 the Bears, UM, let's start with Mike Glennon. I didn't 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.719 give him a grade this week at all, So yeah, 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.279 he's a bench uh. For the running backs, chat Cohen, 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.599 I gave him a b. Uh. He is one of 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.799 only eight NFL Plakers playmakers to have at least twenty 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.560 targets through week two. Uh. He has an eight two 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.800 catch the target ratio on the season. UM. That's a 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.080 great one. Yeah, that's what you want. Um. And the 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.760 Steelers d currently ranked second in sacks, so if you 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.719 want to take the positive from that, that means that 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.360 glenn will have to perhaps do a lot of checkdowns 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.440 and the number one primary option in the checkdown would 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.440 be Terak Cohen. So solid B. On the downside, he 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.080 only has a one point eight six yards per carry 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.840 uh last week. Last week, that's that's deplorable. UH. For 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.320 the other running back, Jordan Howard, I've got him as 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.080 a C grade for the week. On the good side, 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.760 he collected a hundred total yards and or wasn't touchdown 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.320 thirteen times in his last fifteen games. However, he's dealing 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.680 with the shoulder concerned that played itself out last week 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.400 and I think it will play it out this week 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.039 as well. Plus, the Steelers have allowed only a hundred 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.640 forty yards rushing and two games and have yet to 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.880 surrender a rushing touchdown to an actual old tailback and 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.919 actual only fictional tailbacks. Well like they've given up rushing 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.679 touchdowns to other positions, but not though not running backs. Okay, fine, 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:12.039 all right? Uh? Then um for none of the receivers. 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.440 Are all the receivers benched? And then I've got Zach 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.600 Miller B grade for the week he wrecked. He ranks 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.839 among the top eight tight ends for both receptions and targets. 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.200 This year he leads the Bears and UH tight ends 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:26.240 and wide receivers and targets, and last year UH, the 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:29.320 Steelers d ranked twenty or lower against PPR tight ends 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:33.279 in the categories of targets allowed, receptions allowed, and net 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.880 yards given up as well. Thank you, Jay. Brian Denver 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.920 takes on Buffalo. Trevor Simeon leads the NFL in quarterback 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.919 touchdowns with seven, but I'm tough matchup here as he 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.440 travels to Buffalo. Well, yeah, he's on pace for fifty 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.560 six total touchdown that happen, I'll take you over on that. Seriously, 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.279 he should fall back to earth a little bit here. 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.080 Buffalo is looking like a better run defense than past defense. 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.040 But it's a matter of how much will the Broncos 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.560 have to throw the ball. But I'll give us, I 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.360 mean I'll give to me to see this week. We'll 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.480 talk a little bit more about him later over to 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.440 the well to let's talk about as receivers to Mary's 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.440 Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. I'll give both of them and 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.480 be rarely do they both go off in the same game. 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.360 So I took a little look at the home road 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:17.360 splits for each since the start of Demry's, Thomas is 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.240 averaging about the same amount of targets on the road 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.800 versus at home. Emmanuel Sanders, on the other hand, is 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.160 averaging an extra three and a half targets per game 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:25.800 on the road, so we gets leaned on a little 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.559 more there. So you're starting both. But if you're playing 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.120 on a site like Fanball, I'm using the targets as 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.080 a tiebreaker between the two, So I like Sanders a 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.000 little more at a cheaper price. Tach um over the 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.000 running backs. C J. Anderson twenty carries twenty five carries 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.560 in his first few games, getting true bell cow treatment. 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.560 We're gonna get a bell cow sounder today. Fantasy bell 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.640 cow was given me a grief on Twitter that he 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.840 didn't have. We do we need a bell We do 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.080 need the bell sounder, bell Cow. Let's let's work that, Zack. 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:57.800 Buffalo Rundey looking at Tony. I'm sorry, Buffalo Rundy's looking tough. 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.400 They've allowed just eighty eight yards on thirty six combined 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.200 carries between the Jets and Panthers running backs. You gotta 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.840 keep rolling out c g though he looks great. Only 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.400 he and Mike gillissly have double digit red zone rushes 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.160 so far this year. So he's an easy be almost 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:12.960 an A. But it was a tough matchup and I'm 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.920 benching Jamal Charles. You just want more expected points from 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.800 the opposition to put Charles in play. So he's on 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.120 the bench this week. Not much to talk about for 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:24.200 Buffalo Lashawn McCoy gets a B in career games following 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.560 a sub seventy yard rushing performance, as he had last week. 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.000 He follows up with ten yards per game and he's 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.120 had quite a few. He's a good bounce back player. 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.120 Tough matchup against It is a tough matchup against Denver. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.640 That just the run defense just took the love of 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.640 the game out of Zeke. Yeah, but there's no real 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.000 desire and so you could tell he quit halfway through 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.480 that game. But yet eight yards on nine carries for Zeke. 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.720 I'm thinking, Shady, you'll have a little bit better day. 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.559 You can't bench him, obviously. It's another tough matchup for him. 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.760 And Charles Clay is the only other Bill Worth talking 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:57.360 about really in this one. I'll give him a ce. 0:08:57.840 --> 0:08:59.680 Covering tight ends has proven to be a crack in 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.920 the arm of Denver's defense in recent years. They allowed 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.720 the seventh most catches the tight ends. Last year, Jason 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.880 Witten was just targeted thirteen times for ten catches a touchdown. 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.400 So Clays and play. He's been on the injury report, 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.920 but he'll be suiting up on Sunday for sure. He's 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.120 inside my top ten among tight ends. This early Saturday 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.320 morning game. It's in London and it's the early start. 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.960 So be sure to get you really today. Now go 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.360 get go, make sure your lineups are set for these guys. 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.560 For whatever it's worth, dating back to twelve of the 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:31.120 eleven games played in London, the average points are fifty 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.480 three points per outing. That's a courtesy of Jay sent 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.559 me that stat Thank you for that. So we tend 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:37.800 to think of those games as being moro abund But 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:39.480 actually there's been a lot of points to be had 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.920 in the past few games. But I don't love this matchup, 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:43.640 and I'm only got starting grades on a couple of guys. 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.600 All that said, uh C grades for Terence West. He's 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.800 a game time decision with a thigh injury. I think 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.439 he's gonna play. Jaguars are a better past defense than 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.760 a run defense. They've allowed two rushing touchdowns last week, 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.360 although frankly Derrick Henry is way way better back than 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.360 Terence West. There they're giving a hundred seven rushing yards 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.840 per game. But this is the Ravens first game without 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:05.880 their elite guard, Marshal Yanda, and they have no real 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.640 answer for his loss. So I'm nervous about West. I'm 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.920 nervous about Buck Allen, who gets a C grade as well. 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.000 He'll be the in the Danny woodhead role and he'll 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.880 he'll get some receptions here. Jaguars have only allowed seven 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.880 receptions to the position all year, though, and no running 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.600 back has scored through the air against the Jaguars in 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:26.280 two years. So I'm nervous about Buck Allen too, so 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.640 just to see grade for him the whole the rest 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.880 of all passing games on the bench, including Joe Flacco, 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.120 Jaguars quietly have an elite past defense, giving up just 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:38.080 one four yards per game one touchdown per game. I 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.959 think that's about what Joe Flacco gets about a Buck 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:41.719 eighties seven and one here, which is would be a 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.960 very Flacco type type game. Ben Watson, I need more 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.240 than one game sample to show that Ben Watson's back 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.520 from the dead. I can't trust him. Jeremy Macklin is 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.679 scoring back to back games, but draws a much tougher 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:55.960 assignment this week against Jacksonville's slot cornerback Aaron Colvin. He's 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.600 on the bench, then, Mike Wallas has done nothing, Andy 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.960 draws Jalen Ramsey. Let's go to the Jaguars side of 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.320 this matchup, where there's only one player to start, and 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:07.360 that's Leonard Fournette. The Ravens excellent defensive tackle Brandon Williams 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.000 has been ruled out of this game, and that's gonna 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.439 open up the door for the game plan that the 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:16.480 Jaguars want to employ basically every game, which is try 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.440 to win on the ground, minimize Blake Bortles, and let 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.559 your defense carry you to and a short victory and 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.600 a quick game. The Ravens have been very good against 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.200 the run, but that was with Williams, Brandon Williams, and 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.680 I like Fournette as a result. He's He's also a 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:32.959 better pass catcher than people think. And the Ravens have 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.360 allowed running backs fifty six yards per game so far, 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.600 and that's an area where Fournette, I think, is gonna 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.280 gonna be pretty involved. You get targeted five times last week, 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.600 so I think Fournette get turns those five or so 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.480 five or six receptions into close to fifty receiving yards 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.360 as well. Leonard Fournette is a B grade let response time. 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.920 Um is Burnett could be a bell cow this week. 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.920 Oh there, we are very nicely done. Look at Tony 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.160 in the span of one matchup. He's got it on 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.040 the button button to the whole passing games on the bench. 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.240 Bortles Lee hearns. The Ravens have allowed one touchdown pass. 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:10.520 They've netted eight receptions one touchdown pass allowed eight interceptions. 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.439 I think I may have said receptions, yes, yes, eight 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:18.120 interceptions for some perspective on the eight interceptions through two games. 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:23.000 Last year, four teams had eight interceptions on the season, 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.720 and here comes Blake portals an arsenal of errors. The 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.040 Bordau Party. The Bordeau Party. Uh and Lee and Hearns 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.920 have got negative matchups against Jimmy Smith and Ladarius Webb. 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.080 I don't like any part of that passing game. When 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.800 we come back, take a chance on me. Nine players 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.160 not normally in your starting lineup will tell you who 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:50.200 you can start this week from the bench. When we 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:59.280 can nine players not normally in your lineup, guys who 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.040 are in many is available on the waiver wire, we 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:03.800 will tell you who they are right now, Beginning at 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:07.439 the quarterback position. In Jay Clemens, I've got Carson Palmer 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.960 we're talking is facing a Cowboys defense that heading into 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.280 the season, Pro Football Focus had as the thirty secondary. 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.200 Plus now they've got injuries to to a woozy Carroll 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.559 and Scandrick that are testing that depth. His last four 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.360 home games, Carson Palmer has not three hundred yards passing 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.960 each time. J J. Nelson has emerged as the number 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:30.520 two receivers also, and I know of his last eight 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:36.000 non divisional home games against NFC opponents, Palmer has seven 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:40.240 times against during that at time, he's averaging three yards 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.840 and a robust two and a half touchdown that you 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.720 have already you've already housed. Random stat of the week Territory, Brian, 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.840 Thank you, I got in these. Jacoby Brissette at home 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.920 against the Browns. Brissette didn't do anything special against the 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.840 Cardinals last week, but that's because they're the Cardinals. This 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.800 is the Browns. So Brisette is a threat to run 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.680 and throw at least a touchdown in this game. Going 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:03.920 back to last season, Cleveland has allowed at least two 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.680 passing touchdowns, and six of their last seven games, only 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.840 Kyrod Taylor failed to do so in the snow in Buffalo. 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.640 The Browns have also just faced two running threats at 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.560 quarterback since the start of last year. Marcus Mariotta had 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.080 seven carries for sixty four yards and Tyrod Taylor had 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.680 seven for forty nine. So Brisettes a dual threat this week. 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.120 We all think the Dolphins are gonna double off the 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.240 Jets by points, right, and chure j Gi is gonna 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.200 get a lot of that. But why don't we dumpster 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.280 dive and a guy who can capitalize on a giant success. 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:33.920 What's to say that the giant is gonna get all 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.200 the touchdowns? I think Color looked pretty good and is 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.640 knocked the rustoff game last week his first time in 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.960 with the Dolphins. Now he gets this week's matchup against 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.800 the Jets, who are currently allowing two and a half 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:47.080 touchdowns per game to opposing quarterbacks. My biggest concern just 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.600 really just does a giant house everything? But there's a 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.880 good chance that he doesn't, and he just merely sets 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.000 up a passing game for some easy touchdowns. Let's go 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.880 to the running back position. Jay My Palmer endorsement was 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.160 all sets, but for running back, I'm going with d J. 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.480 Pro Syce purely based on a hunch this week. Um 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:05.720 he was targeted six times last week in a very 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.640 close game against forty niners. I refused to believe the 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:12.400 seahawks muddled backfield situation has suddenly become the Chris Carson 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:17.520 Show against opposing tailbacks. Last year, the Titans owned middling 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:21.280 rankings with both targets allowed, receptions allowed and receiving yards 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.200 given up and plus Vegas is under selling this matchup 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.240 with an over under at forty one, so if we're 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.160 going over, pro Syce will definitely factor into that. All right, 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:30.720 You like him as a PPR option. I kind of 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.280 do too, Brian, Yeah, pro sys is sneaky, especially on 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:37.480 fanball only three play there. I've got Darren Sprawls at 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.600 home against my miserable Giants. The Giants allowed more than 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.480 five catches per game to running backs last year. Sprowls 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.400 is clearly a pass catching back UH, one of ten 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:48.920 running backs with at least twelve targets so far this year. 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.440 Carson Wentz was sacked six times by the Chiefs last week. 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.120 The Giants should bring similar heat, meaning Wentz might have 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.240 to check down a little more than than he's used to. 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.240 And yes, Darren Sprowls has just as many red zone 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.320 carries as le Garrett Blunt, which is ridiculous eat or something. 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.000 But he will take the lead on Sunday because Blunt 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:10.200 is cooked. We'll talk more about that matchup a little later. 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.360 Theo Reddick goes up against Atlanta, and for all the 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.720 success the Falcons had last year, they got destroyed by 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.680 running backs through the air. They allowed the most receptions 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.120 to running backs last year, the most receiving yards to 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.600 running backs last year, and the most receiving touchdowns the 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:28.000 running backs last year. That is a trifective defensive ineptitude 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.480 right there. This year, the Falcons are allowing the most 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.600 receptions there running backs, the most touchdowns through the air 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.320 to running backs with two already. And here comes the 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:41.160 Lions pass catching specialist, Theo Reddick. Money in the bank. 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.680 Let's go to the wide receiver position. People know that 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.120 I'm obsessed with PPR leagues, and you need to catch 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.760 the target ratio of at least otherwise I would even 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.920 cross the street to kick you in the ribs. Okay, 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:55.600 that said, Dante Moncreeve has a catch target ratio this year, 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.320 but I'm willing to overlook that because Jacobycent literally got 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.600 into Indians a couple of weeks ago. So he is 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.160 my guy for this position going against the Browns secondary 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:09.040 that ranked heading into the preseason according to Pro Football Focus, 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:12.639 and that was with without Joe hayden Um in the lineup. 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:16.399 UH last year. Opposing receivers for when facing the Browns 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:22.159 at six catch target rate against the Browns. Uh In 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:27.320 fact under uh well Greig Williams, who was not who 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.400 was with the Rams last year. The Rams last year 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:33.480 were bottom ten in targets allowed, catches allowed, and receiving 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.800 yards given up to opposing white up. All right, So 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:39.679 Dante Moncreve you got, I'm going to Shard Higgins at 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:41.800 the Colts in the same game. People are at his calling. 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.200 Higgins is out of nowhere practice squad player, but he 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:47.480 was a fifth round pick at a Colorado State university. 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.639 He had ninety six catches for sevred and fifty yards 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.760 and seventeen touchdowns. So he's he's he's not just in 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.480 the nobody eleven targets last week for seven catches and 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:59.920 ninety five yards two catches of twenty plus yards run 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.119 out of the slot. Yeah, is very good size and 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:04.840 Colts rookie slot corner Nate Harrison is in the bottom 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.520 third of Pro Football Focuses quarterback grades. So look out 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.000 for Higgins this week. He's gonna have a good game, 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:13.520 all right. Devin Funches is my player and I love 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.520 this matchup. Look, any more body gets the Saint secondaries 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:21.520 automatically in play. But the Saints secondary is ravaged right now. 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:26.560 Marshawn Lattimer, who had been there quote top cornerback, is 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.280 out for this game, and that means that they're gonna 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.520 be going to war with guys like Davante Harris who 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.560 was killed by Stefan Diggs and Chris Hogan. Harris should 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.480 see a lot of time on funches based on how 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:39.280 these guys tend to play on the which sides of 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:41.800 the field. And get this, Harris Franks dead last at 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:45.280 the cornerback position by Pro Football Focus, ranking one hundred 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.479 six among cornerbacks in the NFL. I didn't know there 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:52.840 were one hundred six cornerbacks in the NFL. Devin Funchius 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:57.280 effectively free on Fanball at one hundred dollars. All right, 0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.720 let's go to our first, our first matchup of this 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.479 segment and probably our only matchup of this segments. Who 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.400 try to keep onto our clock, and that is Falcons 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:09.640 taking on the Lions. Obviously, this feels like a good 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:14.960 opportunity for for Julio Jones. They all are yes, I've 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.000 got him as an eight grade. Uh, you know, he 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:18.800 lit up the Peckers last week for five cuts of 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.439 hundred eight. Uh. He is going against Darius Slay, so 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.960 there's some concern there, but he's an automatic A. U. 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:27.200 Matt Ryan, I have him for a B this week. Uh. 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.879 He's going against a Lions defense that currently ranks against 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:35.320 the past but only ninth and points allowed. Uh. He 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:38.400 his Uh. He have sixty percent completion rate this year, 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:42.000 but at the same times he's lost receiving opportunity or 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:44.800 passing opportunities because with the new O C they're getting 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:48.359
