00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: guy plays, if this quarterback is in, then this, If

00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,639
Speaker 1: this defense isn't ravaged by COVID, then this. So brace

17
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: for a lot of that. We're gonna try to get

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: through all the games, including the games that have now

19
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: moved to Monday and Tuesday night. Las Vegas and Cleveland

20
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: is now Monday night, Washington, Philadelphia now Tuesday night, Seattle,

21
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: Los Angeles now Tuesday night on Sunday. You're going to

22
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: need to make some tough calls about Monday and Tuesday

23
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: players whose status you don't know that you're hoping will

24
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: clear the COVID protocols, but you're not gonna know. And

25
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: mostly the answers I'm gonna be giving people are Start. Guys,

26
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna play. Start all your Chiefs and Chargers,

27
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: Go Start Travis Kelsey. Uh, we're gonna go through all

28
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: the matchups. Of course, like always, no by weeks. This

29
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: week three tough questions like we usually do. Let's begin

30
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: with the Texans taking on the Jaguars my coast. I

31
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: should mention Matt Harrison at Explosive out Put on Twitter,

32
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson at bat t x J on Twitter as well. Hi, guys,

33
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: well this one will be a quick one. Uh, I

34
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: bet it with Ars, especially in the playoffs, where I've

35
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 1: asked you guys, don't bore our listeners with players who

36
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: are not on any playoff rosters. I don't want to

37
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: hear about Rex Burkhead this week. Well, since there's a

38
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: lot of COVID people in uh in the protocol this week,

39
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: you might need a few Texans and a few Jaguars.

40
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: So let's talk about the guys that you might need.

41
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks is the obvious one. He gets a B

42
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: grade here with Davis Mills back under the helm, Cooks

43
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: was targeted copiously last week eleven targets eight for one

44
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: oh one last week against Seattle. In his first meeting

45
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: against the Jags, Cooks went for a hundred and thirty

46
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: two yards on five catches. Speaking of Davis Mills, hold

47
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: on a minute, because the collective group that was here

48
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: last week hammered take a chance on me, including Brian Johnson,

49
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: who went three for three with Davis Mills. Take a

50
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: chance on Penny Rashide Penny, which was a huge hit.

51
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: And your third guy, do you remember Jalen Guyton, Yeah, Jalen,

52
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: but that became too easy and I threw out Josh

53
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: Palmer as a bonus. So I'll take three and a half.

54
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: You can have the three and a half. The Hooper

55
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: Scooper was a big hit last week. All feel free

56
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: to continue the Scott Fish. We gotta throw out the

57
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: Craig Reynolds. It wasn't take on, but I was like,

58
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: I've never heard of the guy before, but did not

59
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: actually technically use him is just take a chance, I

60
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: mean running back. Another guy that Scott Fish has mentioned

61
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: a few times is Nico Collins, who just recorded his

62
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: career best day last week against Seattle. Uh. The intriguing

63
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: thing was ten targets he saw from Davis Mills and

64
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: Collins gets to draw the worst of the Jags corners.

65
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: That's Tyson Campbell, who's allowing a passer rating of one

66
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: oh five in his coverage. No playoff team is starting

67
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: David Johnson. Both quarterbacks in this game, Davis Mills and

68
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence around the bench. So now onto the Jags

69
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: you can start. Marvin Jones is the wide receiver you'd

70
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: want to play if you needed a Jaguar. He only

71
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: gets a seed. Bright side is the Texans have allowed

72
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: the eighth most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers on

73
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: the season. You're not dipping down to Lavisca Chenalta, Lakwan

74
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: Treadwell territory here and James Robinson he gets a B plus.

75
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: I think he's a good day here. That was not

76
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: even subtle that he is a B grade. Oh whatever,

77
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: you if you believe some of the reports, there was

78
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: a bit of a schism between Robinson and urban Meyer,

79
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: and he was limited in Wednesday's practice, but suddenly he's

80
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: feeling a lot better on Thursday. The Texans are allowing

81
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: the most rushing yards per game to opposing backs, the

82
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: third most rushing touchdowns, and four point nine yards per carry.

83
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: They're giving up a first down on basically every two runs.

84
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: So you can start James rob Robinson with some confidence.

85
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: Let's I I hope that they pound James Robinson and

86
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: it turns out that the the guy that was limiting

87
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: his reps was not Darryl Bubble, because it could be

88
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: urban Meyer wasn't already pounding people with his foot, and

89
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: that's why he's not there anymore. Nicely, that's it. That's it. Okay,

90
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: let's move on to our next matchup, Cowboys taking on

91
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: the Giants. Brian for the Cowboys, this running game is erect.

92
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: We don't know for sure if Tony Pollard is going

93
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: to try to play through the torn plant or fascia

94
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: in his foot. Ezekiel Elliott has been bad and they

95
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: actually gave more touches to Corey Clement last week. What

96
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: do you do with this running game? Yeah, you pretty

97
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: much just just start Zeke and I'll mention quickly the

98
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: Giants and Cowboys did play in Week five. Will reference

99
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: that game a couple of times here, but I'm gonna

100
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: give Zeke a b. He had a hundred ten yards

101
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: and a touchdown rushing, caught two passes and a receiving

102
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: touchdown in the first meeting. Will likely be without left

103
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: tackle Tyron Smith in this game, though. That said, the

104
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: Giants could be without Leonard Williams defensive end, which would

105
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: be a big loss. But even when at full health,

106
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: New York has allowed one plus rushing yards per game

107
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: to the opposition. But like you said, you want to

108
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: keep an eye on Tony Pollard. That'll that'll dim Zeke's

109
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: prospects a little bit. But I'm still give as he

110
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: could be here in a game that should be a

111
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: positive game script for the running backs. For the Cowboys side,

112
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, I very positive outlook for him. He gets

113
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: an a. New York has been brutal against wide receivers lately,

114
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: allowing the fourth most yards the position over the past

115
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: two games. Lamb had eighty four yards in a touchdown

116
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: in the first meeting, and that's probably a solid floor

117
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: projection for him in this one. So in a for

118
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: cd uh, not an A for Mark Cooper, but I'm

119
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: gonna give him a B. He also did well in

120
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: the first meeting. He had sixty yards in a touchdown

121
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: in the Week five game. He has also scored in

122
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: his two previous games against the Giants, so he has

123
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: very good past performance against New York. So would be

124
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: for Cooper and a CEE for Michael Gallup. He did

125
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: not play in the Week five game. He was injured then.

126
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: But it's a good matchup and I'm just worried that

127
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: the script could fall out of favor for the wide

128
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: receivers or Dallas, but they all have potential here. But

129
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: just to see for Gallop, Gallops look good. By the

130
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: way he's gonna be. I think he's gonna get paid

131
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: this office for sure. Where do we want him to

132
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: end up? Kansas City would be a nice spot. Yeah,

133
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: you know, I haven't thought that far, but I don't

134
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: want him to be one of the other five guys

135
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: in that rotation. Umari Cooper, just as a side note,

136
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: looked as good as he's looked on the field since

137
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: before he had the COVID and before that when he

138
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: had the hamstring, so he had to go back almost

139
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: two months. He looked downright, spry, and I'm optimistic about

140
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: a big game for Marie Cooper here. Yeah, it could

141
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: be a big game for Dalton Schultz. He had six

142
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: catches for seventy nine yards in the first meeting between

143
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: the Giants and Cowboys. And it's a decent matchup for

144
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: tight ends. Uh. The Giants are alloting more than five

145
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: catches and fifty yards per game to the position, so

146
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: a double digit PPR floor is in place for Schultz

147
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: and uh Dak Prescott and obvious a when all three

148
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: wide receivers in the in the tight end gets starting grades.

149
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: And uh, it's worth mentioning he had three plus yards

150
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns in the first game of the season

151
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: between these two over to the Giant side. Not a

152
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: whole lot to talk about other than season ticket holders

153
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: supposedly getting a free medium soda at this game. I

154
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: don't know. I read this on Twitter. It's fan appreciation days.

155
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: If you spend you spent fifty grand on Worth Giants tickets,

156
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: you get a free You don't even get a large Well, no,

157
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: I think they're not allowed to sell large sodas in

158
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: New York City. That makes sense, you know what I mean?

159
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's not. But over se Kwon Barkley, he

160
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: gets to see Dallas has held the posing teams who

161
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: under sixty five rushing yards in four of the last

162
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: five games, and their defensive line. Dallas has has a

163
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: significant advantage over the Giants offensive line. And this one

164
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: is a very soft to see for Barkley, who got

165
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: hurt in the first meeting only atune as. Yeah, just

166
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: to see. Uh, just a bench, double bench for a

167
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: sterling Shepherd and Kenny. That's just a bench, not a

168
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: double bench. Can't have you never said you can't give

169
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: a bench plus No, I know you can't because that

170
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: gets you somewhere out of between bench and a C grade.

171
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: There's no bench plus. Well, the double bench is fine

172
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: because you can't extra bench. Somebody. I like how you're

173
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: fine with the harpoon though what the don't even know

174
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: what the harpoon means, So you're probably got the harpoon.

175
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: Pass me, we got some harpoon, he used later in

176
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: the show. But benching Golladay and Shepherd, despite it being

177
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: a positive matchup on paper, Uh, we'll get to the

178
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: quarterback situation in a second for the Giants. But Shephard

179
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: and Gala Day combined for twelve Let's not get to

180
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation. It will only take a second when

181
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: we do. But Shepherd Golliday combined for twelve targets last week,

182
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: just four catches for forty two scoreless yards. So they're

183
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: on the bench. So is whoever the quarterback is Mike Glennon,

184
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: it could be Daniel Jones. Maybe either way you're benching then,

185
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: But I will give Evan and Groom a see opposing

186
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: tight ends or averaging nearly five catches sixty yards per

187
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: game against Dallas. Ingram had four catches for fifty five

188
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: yards in the first meeting, so double digit PPR points

189
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: is possible. Listen, this is the ninth straight positive matchup

190
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: on paper for Evan Ingram and he never comes through

191
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: the tight end. Waste Land, you take ten points. He's

192
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: not giving you ten points because he never does. Alright,

193
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: Still giving a Patriots take on the Colts, and there's

194
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: only a couple of guys to talk about. Damien Harris

195
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: gets a b great exp acted to be recovered from

196
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: his hamstring injury for this game. Colts are good run defense,

197
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: but Harris read it. Good run defense is this year,

198
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: including Buffalo before last week's by Indians, allowing the ninth

199
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: fewest rushing yards eighth fewest rushing touchdowns to opposing backs.

200
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: And Harris again uber hot before the injury, scoring eight

201
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: times in his last eight games, a span over which

202
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: he was averaging a whopping five yards per carry. So

203
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: even in a tough matchup, Harris comes in with a

204
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: B grade. We're gonna keep reminder Stevenson on the bench.

205
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: He when Harris gets his the full workload that he gets,

206
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: there's not enough left for Stevenson. And this is a

207
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: trickier matchup than most. And the only other guy with

208
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: the starting great is Mac Jones. He's top two hundred

209
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: thirty yards once, just once in his last six games,

210
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: and over the last month, the Colts have allowed the

211
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: league's fewest passing yards just one seventy seven per game,

212
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: despite facing far better quarterbacks Josh Allen and Tom Brady.

213
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: And he's one of the league's worst deep passers by

214
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: the way, where yards and touchdowns come. You know what,

215
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: I'm putting him on the bench, forget it. I've just

216
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: talked to myself, Auto mac Jones, and all the receivers

217
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: are on the bench too. If you've got the playoffs,

218
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: you don't need Jacobe Myers, Nelson, Aguilar, Kendrick Born against

219
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: a team that's given up the fewest receptions yards and

220
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: second fewest touchdowns to opposing wide receivers, they're on the bench.

221
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to Indianapolis side. Jonathan Taylor's an obvious a

222
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: and I should mention here, not that you need any

223
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: extrapolation on this, but the Patriots are actually shockingly easy

224
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: to run upon, and they're brutally tough to pass on.

225
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: They're allowing one hundred fifty four total yards per game

226
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs, that's fourth most, and through the air,

227
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: they're giving up the fourth most receiving yards. And Taylor

228
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: can catch a literally, you know, he chips in a

229
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: couple of catches every game. Sure, uh Niahim Hines is

230
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: not an option really in this game, and I don't

231
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: think you're gonna need him here. The only other player

232
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: I've got with the starting grade is Michael Pittman, and

233
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: he's the only Colts I think, the only other cold

234
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: outside of Taylor you'd ever consider starting in the playoffs,

235
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: but it is a bad matchup. Nobody has shut down

236
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: wide receivers more consistently than New England over the last

237
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: five weeks. Entire receiving positions are averaging seventy eight yards

238
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: per game over the last five against New England. So

239
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: if all of the Indian receivers are gonna get seventy

240
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: eight yards, Pittman gets half. His one on one matchup

241
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: is brutally tough against emerging star cornerback J. C. Jackson.

242
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: He has a passer rating against him in his coverage

243
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: of thirty nine. That's not that's not good. Carson Wentz

244
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: is on the bench for the reasons I think you've

245
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: already already heard as we talked about the wide receivers

246
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: here and you ken pick spots to start Wentz, this

247
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: is definitely not one of them. Let's take a break

248
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: when we come back, take a chance on me. Nine

249
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: players not normally in your starting lineup. It's a weird

250
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: week and there's gonna be a bunch of different angles

251
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: to start guys you would not normally start. We're gonna

252
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: do our best to give you players we think are

253
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: going to go with positive matchups, but it really who knows.

254
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: I got a nice we're throwing darks. I got a

255
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: nice weird angle coming up. You do, all right, Willie

256
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: will stay tuned Fantasy Football Weekly to hear Brian's weird angle.

257
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. A segment we like, he'll

258
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: take a chance on me. Nine players who may or

259
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: may not contract COVID between now and when you try

260
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: to start them. True at the time of this, I

261
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: got one that's not gonna get it. I'm well, he

262
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: just came off the list. He's quarantine in a box. Well, Dolf.

263
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: He just came off the list because he had it

264
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: and recovered from it. Then, yes, probably saying now he

265
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: just came up off the list because he was like

266
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: a close contact and anyway, I don't know, we'll find

267
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: out soon. All right, Let's go to the quarterback position, Matt.

268
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: I got Jimmy G again. Third week in that's the

269
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: third week probably for just for you. Yeah, Jimmy G

270
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: against the Seahawks in week thirteen and two, that's when

271
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: I used him. Fish used him last week against the

272
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: Bengals to and two. We're going back to the well

273
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: against the Falcons, who have faced maybe the easiest slate

274
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks I've ever seen this year. The notable names

275
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: they faced, like Heineke Dimes, Zack Wilson, Simeon, Trevor Lawrence,

276
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: and the Panthers awful trio of quarterbacks twice. Yeah. Still,

277
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: they've allowed the third most passing scores in the league

278
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: at two touchdowns per game, and have allowed the sixth

279
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: most completion So Jimmy g will get two scores in

280
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: this one. All right, Brian, you take a chance at me, quarterback.

281
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to a toungo viola at home against the Jets.

282
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: Miami won't have Jalen Waddle in this game. That well,

283
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: not officially outs, not literally enough in the week that

284
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: it's there's a chance he comes back for this. I

285
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: think the odds already won't play, but hopefully he does.

286
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: But even if he doesn't, I don't care. I like

287
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: too against the Jets, And how can you not when

288
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: the Jets have allowed these sixth most passing yards per

289
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: game at two fifty four per and outside of Taysom

290
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: Hill last week, New York has surrendered multiple passing touchdowns

291
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: and eight straight games that includes the two touchdowns and

292
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: two d seventy three yards they allowed to tah when

293
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: these teams were submitting week eleven, and the Jets are

294
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: already going to be without starting cornerback Justin Hardy. They

295
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: could be without the other starting cornerback, Michael Carter the

296
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: second so to a Tonga viola. Bear in mind, I'm

297
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: an emotionally damaged Vikings fan. I'm pretty I'm as as

298
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: are all Viking fans this season, aren't we all? Uh?

299
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: And that's part of what's driving me to recommend Justin

300
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: Fields on what it's currently Monday night. Well, hopefully that

301
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: will hold. That will hold the all the Bears problems

302
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: with COVID, Maybe they move that to Tuesday as well.

303
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: Rutching yards can mitigate a bad passing game and feel

304
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: just finally being allowed to run the ball. Over his

305
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: last three full games, he's averaged seventy four rushing yards.

306
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: That puts him You're you're basically starting running backs rushing

307
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: numbers out of Justin Fields, and the Vikings have faced

308
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: exactly two mobile quarterbacks. Kyler Murray ran for a touchdown,

309
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson ran for a hundred twenty yards. Fields will

310
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: also help through the air, because the Vikings cornerbacks are dreadful.

311
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: No Viking cornerback ranks higher than one in coverage by

312
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. Darnell Mooney can beat the Vikings deep.

313
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson, if he's able to go, can win on

314
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: routes and hands. Jachim Grant has turned into a factor.

315
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot of ways. Justin Fields can get helped

316
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: through the air as well. I like him by ground,

317
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: sea and air. Let's go to the I'm looking forward

318
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: to the sea part. Let's go to the running back position. Matt,

319
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: I got somebody who's from Seattle. Oh nice, Maybe we

320
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: just need to uh let Rashad Penny cook in a

321
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: peacock to Brian against last Sound right there if you're

322
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: live from Pugech sound so. In the last three years,

323
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny has had ten rushing attempts or more in

324
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: five total games. He scored a touchdown in four of

325
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: those five games, including two last week in a total

326
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: of hundred and thirty seven yards. And Alex Collins was

327
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: just put on the COVID list. Now this game is

328
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: now Tuesday, but right now it's just Penny and DJ

329
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: Dallas left on the roster. He's facing a Rams team

330
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: that is missing a lot of people. According to COVID,

331
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: and the Rams have allowed a touchdown to six running

332
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: backs who have led their team in touches over the

333
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: last seven weeks, so a touchdown is basically guaranteed for

334
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny here. All right, you know I mocked Penny

335
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: last week. I can't do it now, so you know

336
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: you guys shut me up on that. Brian, you take

337
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: a chance at me running back? All right, weird COVID

338
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: angle time. I'm going. I'm going back to the Dolphins.

339
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: And no, not Miles Gascon. That's too easy. I'm going

340
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: Salven Akhmed, the backup running back. Both have been activated

341
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: as never easy, by the way, and more easier. That's

342
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: part of the play here, like he just disappears at times.

343
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: It gets benched or is this play is awful? So

344
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: and and the speaking of awful, the Jets against running backs,

345
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: they're allowing a hundred nearly a hundred eighty combo yards

346
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns per game, which is stunning. They're actually

347
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: the worst team against any position out of every defense

348
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: against any position, I believe, by a pretty large margin.

349
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: Astronomical numbers. So Salvin Akhmed, there's gonna be enough to

350
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: go around for him and this one again, and if

351
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: Gascon disappears, you could have a top five running back

352
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 1: on your hands. And we know, well, even if Gaskin

353
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: doesn't disappear, just out of if you can get to

354
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: eight touches on Salvin Akhmed, maybe that's enough. He'll get

355
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: double digit touches. I just want to see Jared Doakes

356
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: activated from the practice squall that they I forgot that

357
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson to look, there's a long laundry list of

358
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: running backs, but I went with Akamed, So let's go Salvin.

359
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: Donte Foreman is your leader among running backs for Tennessee,

360
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: and he's the latest to go up against the Steelers.

361
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: This is another really struggling run defense. You saw Dalvin

362
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: Cook roll up a monster game just in the first

363
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: half against the Steelers last week. They're allowing the fourth

364
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: most sushing yards and a league worse four point nine

365
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: yards per carry. Two opposing backs and the starters over

366
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: the last five weeks have all crushed the Steelers. DeAndre Swift,

367
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: Austin Neckler, Joe Mixon, Devanta Freeman, and Dalvin Cook. And granted,

368
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: dot Freeman is not nearly as good as those guys

369
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: in general, but they averaged a hundred forties six total

370
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. So if even if he's half

371
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: as good as those guys, Dot de Foreman sitting on

372
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: potentially in eighty yard game, seventy five yard game and

373
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: a touchdown, Matt, let's go to the wide receiver slash

374
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: tight end position now as of this recording, I'm taking

375
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: David in Joeku because as of now the Browns would

376
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: be missing tight end Austin Hooper and Stephen Carlson on

377
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: the COVID list, Harrison Bryant is questionable with an ankle injury.

378
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: Plus Jarvis Landry is on the COVID list, and Cream

379
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: Hunt is out. The old line is a mess. And

380
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: right now, no Baker Mayfield, no case Keenum, it's Nick

381
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: Mullins starting. And a great stat from Kent wy Rock

382
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: in games which Nick Mullins had at least of the snaps,

383
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: so these are his days. In San Francisco, George Kittle's

384
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: averages were ten targets, six and a half receptions, nine yards,

385
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: and half a score per game. All of those numbers

386
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: are way better than Kittle's career averages, so Mullins likes

387
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: to target the tight end and David and Joke Wu

388
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: has the talent. We saw him go for a hundred

389
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: and forty nine and one in a game against the

390
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: Chargers this year. We all know the opportunity is here

391
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: and this now he gets the one of the worst

392
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: tight end defenses in the league. The Raiders are bottom

393
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: five and receptions, yards and touchdowns allowed to the tight

394
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: end position, and they have allowed a touchdown to a

395
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: tight end nine times in their last nine games. Brian,

396
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: you'na take a chance and we're running back white receiver. Sorry,

397
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: I'm going Buffalo's Gabriel Davis against the Panthers. Now, the

398
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: Panthers's out Manny Sanders is out and the Panthers on

399
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: a great matchup for why but Davis will not draw

400
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: step on Gilmore. That will probably go to Stefon Diggs.

401
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: We'll see most of that coverage. But this is really

402
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: how good Gabriel Davis is when given an opportunity. He

403
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: is second over the last six weeks and yards per

404
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: route run only behind George Kittle, in ahead of Justin Jefferson,

405
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: and in this this season, he is number eight in

406
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: Fantasy points per target. He was eleventh last year. He

407
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: just needs opportunities and he's gonna get him on Sunday.

408
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: So if Gabriel Davis is out there, especially in a

409
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: dynasty league, this guy is like top twenty wide receiver

410
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: potential moving forward this season and next years. Rolling forward

411
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: to next year, I'm going a J. Green against Detroit.

412
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,479
Speaker 1: It's Detroit, so maybe this is a little obvious. DeAndre

413
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: Hopkins is out. Green becomes the go to wide receiver

414
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: for this passing offense and he's coming off his biggest

415
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: game of the year. He runs This is really weird.

416
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: A J. Green runs eight percent of his routes from

417
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: one side of the field. I've never seen that before.

418
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: He is pegged to the right side of the field,

419
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: which puts him up against journeyman cornerback Nickel Roby Coleman,

420
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: who as of two weeks ago, was sitting on a

421
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: couch like the rest of us. He's only because he's

422
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: only playing for Detroit because of the loss of cornerback

423
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: Jerry Jacobs, who was only playing because of the loss

424
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: of Jeff Okuda, and now they're to Nickel Roby Coleman.

425
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: Coleman's only played one game this year, but last year

426
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: with the Eagles awful, allowing a passer rating of one

427
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: twenty four in his coverage A J. Green's gonna eat

428
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: him alive. I like that when players don't have a team,

429
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: they just sit on a couch. Are always on the

430
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: couch or on the street's street free agents, Yeah, sitting

431
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: on the street. Pittsburgh is taking on the Titans. Will

432
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: start on the Titan side. I told you I love

433
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: Foreman as might take a chance of me running back.

434
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: What do you think about the passing game that is

435
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: languished for most of the last two months. Yeah, I'm

436
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: giving Ryan Tannehill a C grade. He hasn't really had

437
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: his full complement of weapons in a long time, which

438
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: is somewhat excusing his average stat line of one yards

439
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: and zero point eight touchdowns per game over the last

440
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: six weeks. He's only good for his rushing ability. Yeah, Still,

441
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: he's very accurate, and this matchup favors running over passing,

442
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: So just to see, but you know, actually probably a bench.

443
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: I'll give Julio Jones a B grade, though Pro Football

444
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: Focus has Julio's matchup against cornerback Cameron Sutton ranked at

445
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: point four out of a hundred this week, Sutton allowed

446
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in his coverage last week in Minnesota, and

447
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: Julio was a bit disappointing last week, but the Jaguars

448
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: game was never in doubt for the Titans and they

449
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: didn't need to throw, and Julio still led the team

450
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: with six targets. Over on the Steeler side, Big Ben

451
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: gets a B grade. Looking inspired in the comeback attempt

452
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: last Thursday, faces a very similar secondary in Tennessee. They've

453
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: allowed either two yards or multiple touchdown passes in ten

454
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: out of thirteen games this season, and Roethlisberger is thrown

455
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: for multiple scores and three of his last four. So

456
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: you can fire up Big Ben. You're obviously firing up

457
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson with an A and Chase Claypool gets to

458
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: be if you're super desperate for a wide receiver, you

459
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: could throw a harpoon at James Washington. Uh. The Steelers

460
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: receivers torched a similarly bad Vikings secondary last week. Uh

461
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: They're those two secondaries are shockingly similar. The Titans have

462
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: allowed the most yards and receptions to the wide receivers

463
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: this year. Pat Friar muth He gets a C grade.

464
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: Titans linebacker Jayn Brown is asked to cover the tight

465
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: end most often, he allows a catch on eight eight

466
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: percent of his targets, and Friar muth Is scored in

467
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: six of his last seven. And then Naji Harris gets

468
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: He gets almost all the work and the hope that

469
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: he can duplicate what the Patriots backs did. Two games ago.

470
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: The Patriots backfield trio combined for a hundred and fifty

471
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: two total yards and to score on twenty five touches. Now,

472
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: the Titans have held the Jaguars, the Texans, the Alvin

473
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: Camaro less Saints to nearly nothing outside of uh in

474
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: the running game. But the Pats game, which was two

475
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: weeks ago, they they they gave up some stuff, so

476
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: they faced one of the softer running back schedules in

477
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: the league this year. So I'm holding Nag at a B.

478
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: It's definitely one of the more positive B grades I'll give, though.

479
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: We'll just call that what we like to call it,

480
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: B grade for Nagi Harris and this one a real positive. No,

481
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: it's not, it's just it. What about it? I like

482
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: that better? At least it's witty. I feel positive about

483
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: killer Bees. When we come back, Panthers take on the Bills,

484
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: We'll tell you if there's anybody who contrust out of

485
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: that Panther's offense, presumably led by Cam Newton. Maybe I

486
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: don't know for half the game. Maybe Josh Allen comes

487
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: into this one hobbled. What are you gonna do with him?

488
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: Lots of storylines Panthers Bills and many other games. When

489
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: we come back for the final segment of our number

490
00:25:43,160 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: one Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul

491
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: Georgie and Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson with you if

492
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: you've got questions about who to start, who to bench

493
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: in this one of the most confounding weeks the history,

494
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: So do we I can't tell you how much I

495
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: agonized over my lineup decisions on Thursday internal slack. We're

496
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: we're always just asking each other what should I do?

497
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: And I've never been more flammixed. And really, and when

498
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: you're still live in a guillotine league at this point,

499
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: you have all star rosters. At this point, everybody's great,

500
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: and so you're just trying to swap good for great

501
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: between your players, and it's it's unbelievably tricky. Guillotine leagues

502
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: dot Com from my player rankings updated as much as

503
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: I can possibly humanly update and keep up, keep everything going,

504
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: because it's just nuts. Right now, Let's go back to matchups,

505
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: including Panthers taking on the Bills. Brian Panthers ended up

506
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks swapping. Some would say benching Cam Newton throughout the game.

507
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: I don't think you can start Cam new in this

508
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: one because you can't. You don't know how long he's

509
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,239
Speaker 1: gonna stay in now. They're gonna like rotate he and

510
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: p J Walker in and out of this game. Most

511
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: like the Bills are allowing passing yards and zero point

512
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: eight passing touchdowns per game. The only points you might

513
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: get some rushing from Cam, but you're not gonna bank

514
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: on that, so you're benching the quarterbacks. As far as

515
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: the receivers go, I'm gonna give d J. Mor as

516
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,479
Speaker 1: c He's got a hamstring issue, keep your eye on that,

517
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: but he is trending towards playing. I would probably bend

518
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: him if As White all pro cornerback for Buffalo, uh,

519
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: if he was playing. But White is on I R

520
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: so I will give more A cee who has back

521
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: to back games with ten targets. Robby Anderson saw twelve

522
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: targets last week had his best game of the season,

523
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: but he's on the bench. Going back to the quarterbacks,

524
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: you don't You're not playing Robby Anderson in fift Come on,

525
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: you're not that nuts. And the last guy we can

526
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: talk about for Carolina is Tuba Hubbard. I'm reluctant to

527
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: give him this see. I almost want to bench him

528
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: because it's really just a nightmare for scenario for him

529
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton at quarter act, well it is, and

530
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: then he's not even getting that many so many touches anymore.

531
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: Why isn't we're dually getting any I don't know, and

532
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: Carolina could be without both of their starting guards. The

533
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: only reason I'm giving Hubbard to see is Buffalo has

534
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: been getting gashed on the ground lately, allowing rushing yards

535
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: over the last three games. So there's some hope for

536
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: Tuba here, but very little. But if you're desperate running

537
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: back in, we're pretty much desperate for anyone at this point,

538
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: I'll give it. I'll give Hubbard to see. A lot

539
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: more to talk about on the Buffalo side, started with

540
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. Gonna give him a B. He will likely

541
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: get shadowed by Stefan Gilmour in this game. It's a

542
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: tough matchup, and Carolina is allowing the seventh fewest receptions

543
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: and the sixth few whisty yards too opposing wide outs

544
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: over the last five weeks. But there's no way you're

545
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: bending Stefon Diggs. But just just to be for him.

546
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: Uh see for Cole Beasley. Uh. Emmanuel Sanders was killing

547
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: Beasley's production, but Sanders left the game last week early

548
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: with an injury. Beasley saw levin targets, so he gets

549
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: a sea. But I like Gabriel Davis might take a

550
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: chance on me wide receiver a little bit more. A J.

551
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: Bouyer probably was going to be covering Davis for the

552
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: most part, but he's gonna miss this game. So I

553
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 1: like Gabriel Davis a whole lot. That's why I used

554
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: my take a chance to me wide receiver. I do.

555
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: Everyone loves Dawson Knox right Uh. This year, he's been

556
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: arguably the best steal at tight end in all of

557
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: Fantasy football. He gets to be. Carolina has had a

558
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: hard time handling tight ends recently, as Kyle Pitts uh

559
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: really a wide receiver and Hayden Hurst just combined for

560
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: sixty plus yards and a touchdown against the Panthers. The

561
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: Panthers are allowing nearly fifty yards per game to tight

562
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: ends over the last four games. That's decent production. Knox

563
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,719
Speaker 1: should have a good game here and uh not. Lastly,

564
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about Devin Singletary in a second, but

565
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: we gotta talk about Josh Allen. Of course, no injury

566
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: designation going into the game, so not concerned about the

567
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: foot injury. It is a bad matchup though. Carolina owns

568
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: the third lowest opponent passing play percentage at just so

569
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: it's no real surprise. They are allowing the fewest passing

570
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: yards per game at seventy eight yards per game. Uh

571
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: Carolina has allowed or zero passing touchdowns and six of

572
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: their last seven games as well, So not a good

573
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: matchup on paper. But Josh Allen, he's a unicorn. And

574
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: the Panthers have only faced one true mobile quarterback this

575
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: year and that was Jalen Hurts and he ran for

576
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, so that that rushing floor and ceiling always

577
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: makes Alan startable. And I just mentioned Devin Singletary saw

578
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: a season high snapshare last week. I was the highest

579
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: for him or any Bills running back all season, but

580
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: he's still on the bench. You just can't trust what's

581
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: going on in that backfield and not very productive with

582
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: the runs. And Caroline has allowed the fourth few as

583
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: fantasy points to opposing running back. So your bench and singletary,

584
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: let's hope Zack Moss goes off. I got a lot

585
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: of active I got a lot of best ball teams

586
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: that would really appreciate that. Have that. All right, Cardinals

587
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: take on the Lions, and it's you know, because it's

588
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: the Lions, there's gonna be some some good plays here.

589
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is an A grade despite the fact that

590
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is not available for this game. Quarterbacks weirdly

591
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: putting up modest numbers against the Lions, though in part

592
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: because the running game comes so easily. But here's the thing.

593
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: He's wrapped up fifty nine and sixty one rushing yards

594
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: over the past two weeks while scoring two rushing touchdowns

595
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks, So just between ground and air.

596
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: I like Murray with an A grade, and he's I

597
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: think you're not predicting a sea touchdown for no Sea

598
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: touchdown here because this game is taking off. Actually, Detroit

599
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: is right on a large body of water. It's on

600
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: a great lake, is itch is it here on? Let's go.

601
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna go here on for this um and so yeah,

602
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: then maybe a little by sea here is possibility for

603
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. I'm not ruling that out. Zach Ertz gets

604
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: a B grade. He's played by the way he showed

605
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: up Friday, dinged up with something, but he's expected to go.

606
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: He's played in seven games since arriving in Arizona, and

607
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: he's only gone under forty yards twice. The lines have

608
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: allowed the eighth most receptions in seventh most yards two

609
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: tight ends, and despite effectively only playing half of the

610
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: season with his new team, he's second in red zone

611
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: targets on the team and most since he got there.

612
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: So I think a touchdown feels like a pretty wrong

613
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: play for zach Ertz with his B grade. A J

614
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: Green was might take a chance of a wide receiver

615
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: from earlier. Christian Kirk is a plausible pivots seat. You

616
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: guys think see darts to C minus. It's just a

617
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: dart throw C grade. He has a solid C grade.

618
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: I believe he'll move outside and run Hopkins routes that

619
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: puts him up against a MARII are you are a

620
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: a competent cornerback who's only a lout one score all

621
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: year and a modest passer rating of sixty seven C

622
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: grade on Christian Kirk. Rondel Moore is on the bench

623
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: and run out of the slot, which will give him

624
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: some extra looks. But even when Hopkins was out earlier

625
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: this year, rondel Moore was not at all consistent. So

626
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna leave him on the bench. Let's talk James Conner.

627
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: I told you Detroit's easy to run upon. Here's my

628
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: concern and Connor. It's not the Lions. It's it's a

629
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,719
Speaker 1: great matchup and he will probably score a touchdown here.

630
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: Lions give up the fifth most rushing yards and the

631
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: second most touchdowns running back, so Connor feels like a given.

632
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. He's suffered an ankle injury late

633
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: last week's game. Chase Edmonds is coming back, and I

634
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: do worry about him potentially getting rested to make sure

635
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: the ankles okay. He's been really good. He's a valuable

636
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: playoff asset. Cardinals up by twenty one. Connors on the

637
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: bench for the rest of the game. Now, the lines

638
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: are rarely getting blown out of games, but that could

639
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: happen here. The Cardinals are so hot right now, so

640
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: I've I've only put a B grade on James Conner

641
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: out of that concern that it plays out that way.

642
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds a C grade. If I knew for sure

643
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: he was going to get high volume, then I would

644
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: think that Edmonds could be a higher grade than this.

645
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna play it safe for the moment and

646
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: give him a C grade in a which should be

647
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: easy matchup, But I don't know how his workload is

648
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: going to go in this game. Let's go over to

649
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: the Detroit side. As you can imagine, there's not a

650
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: lot to go on here. The only starting grade I've

651
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: got right now is I'm on ras St Brown, who

652
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: has seen twelve targets and back to back weeks and

653
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: in his last two games is averaging eighty yards per

654
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: game over the last three weeks. The Zona allowing one

655
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: seventies six yards per games to receivers, that is seventh

656
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: most have given up four scores in those three games

657
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: to receivers. So there's a chance here if even if

658
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: it's just garbage time for aman ros st Brown startable here.

659
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: If DeAndre Swift returns from his shoulder injury, I'll give

660
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: him a C grade, even though I don't know that

661
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: he would catch any passes with the shoulder injury. If

662
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams were to come back and everybody else is out,

663
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: then you could use him as a C grade. If

664
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 1: they're both out and Craig Reynolds comes off the practice

665
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: squad again, then maybe you could use him if you

666
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: needed to. But all in all, I think we're just

667
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: gonna leave those guys on the bench. T T. J.

668
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: Hockenson underwent season ending thumb surgery earlier this week. Jared

669
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: Goff is unstartable in non Viking games, and Calif Raymond

670
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: and Josh Reynolds usage is way too scattered to trust

671
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: anything they may or may not do in this game.

672
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: Brian no Matt, let's go to Falcons taking on the

673
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: forty Niners. This Falcon's offense has been wildly inconsistent. Cordell

674
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: Patterson his usage has been fascinating. Through the first eight weeks,

675
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: Matt He was averaging five catches, fifty seven yards and

676
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: half a touchdown per game. Then, over the last month,

677
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: they've dialed back his route running and his receiving to

678
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: the point that Cordell Patterson is only averaging two catches

679
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: for fifteen yards and has not scored through the air,

680
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: and that part of his usage worries me because he's

681
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: now turned into just a part time running back to that.

682
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: I say, Pshaw, Church Pshaw, I say, um. He was

683
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: averaging just over six targets per game in the beginning

684
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: of the season. The last two weeks, he's had five

685
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: targets in each game. I'm I'm not worried about targets receptions,

686
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: but targets equal receptions. At some point, you have to

687
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: have a target to get a reception. That's the opportunity

688
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about. Okay, Matt Ryan sounds like the coach

689
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: at the beginning of Hoosiers that said, you know, before

690
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: Gene Hackman showed up, was like, you can't score if

691
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: you don't shoot. I think that's you. I think that

692
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: was Wayne Gretzky who said that, um uh. In the

693
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: last three weeks, the Falcons have faced three top ten

694
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: run defenses, so Patterson's still put them numbers, and the

695
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: Niners aren't a top ten run defense. They have allowed

696
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: fourteen touchdowns are running backs on the season. That's the

697
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: sixth most. They're also bottom half of the league in

698
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: receptions and receiving yards to opposing runners. So he's still

699
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: in a grade for me. Uh, let's move over to

700
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: the receivers and get Russell Gauge and Kyle Pitt's out

701
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: of the way. I'll give Gauge a CEE and I'm

702
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: gonna give Pits a B in this one. Both spend

703
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: about half their time running from the slot, where they're

704
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: going to face five nine slot corner Kawan Williams. That's

705
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 1: a rather large mismatch for the six sixty pound Pits,

706
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 1: and if they flex outside, they either get Josh Norman

707
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: who's allowing a passer rating of one two in his coverage,

708
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: or Ambree Thomas, who's Pro Football Focus is two hundred

709
00:36:54,920 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: ninth ranked corner out of two. D Matt Ryan, I'm

710
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: giving him a C grade. His average stat line in

711
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: games where the Falcons have not been involved in a

712
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: blowout in in in what I mean by that they

713
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: have they have not one by more than seven and

714
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: they have not lost by more than two scores either. Yep. Uh,

715
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: He's averaging two seventy two and two touchdowns per game.

716
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: In those games, San Francisco is favored by nine and

717
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: a half years, but that actually kind of works in

718
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's favor because the two scores is where where

719
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,479
Speaker 1: it becomes a blowout. I think Ryan's gonna be just fine.

720
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: He's a C grade Deebo. Samuel's doing his best Cordarrel

721
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: Patterson impression. He gets an A grade in this one.

722
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: The Falcons are a defense you circle on your calendar.

723
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: Plus Elijah Mitchell is trending towards out again, should mean

724
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 1: more touches for Debot. The Falcons have struggled with past

725
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: catching running backs all season, and with Samuel lining up

726
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: in the backfield a lot, I imagine most of that

727
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: work goes his way. As I mentioned, Elijah Mitchell hasn't

728
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: practiced all week with a concussion, so Jeff Wilson is

729
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: your likely starter. Wilson was the only running back to

730
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: take a handoff last week, and since he with thirteen carries.

731
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: Atlanta has been okay straight up against the run, allowing

732
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: three point nine yards per carry. That's actually ninth best

733
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: in the league, but they do allow a lot of

734
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 1: ground touches, so for that, Wilson stays to see. Brandon

735
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: au gets an A grade over the last five weeks.

736
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 1: Auk comes in at wide receiver sixteen in total PPR points,

737
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: and he had his highest target total to date last

738
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: week with eleven. Atlanta's bottom eight in both receptions and

739
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed to opposing wide receivers, not surprising. George Kittle

740
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: gets an A even though he did sit out Wednesday's

741
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: practice with a sore knee, but he was ramping up

742
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: his work Thursday and Friday. He's had over a hundred

743
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: and fifty yards in each of his last two games. Uh.

744
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: And every good tight end to face the Falcons this

745
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: year has scored a touchdown every one of them. Uh.

746
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: And Jimmy g finally he was might take a chance

747
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: on the quarterbacks. So I like the passing game in

748
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: this one. Kittle is a little dinged up with the knee.

749
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: It's always he's always dinging up. It was a little

750
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: dinged up, but uh, he's probably a little dinged up

751
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: the last two weeks too. And how did that work

752
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: for you? He has been so good and so dynamic,

753
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 1: so fast. Um, And I know Travis Kelsey is coming

754
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: off a Bonker's game. You're just you're just hurt because

755
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: I am been y did in your guillotine. I did,

756
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 1: and it might cost it might cost me my season.

757
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: I need Kintle. They can both have great games. Sure,

758
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: I don't see any reason why Kittle can't have a

759
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: forty two point I hope he does. I hope he

760
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: does too, Brian, I believe we have time to work

761
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 1: through the Jets taking on the Dolphins. The Jets side,

762
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't imagine there's anybody you would start

763
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: in a playoff roster. Yeah, there's gonna be no forty

764
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: two point games or anyone the Jets maybe not combined

765
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: along all among all players. I am going to give

766
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: Michael Carter a see. Though expected to come off, I

767
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 1: r the ankle injury, should operate in a Bell cow roll,

768
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: but be warned that Tevin Coleman also likely to make

769
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: his return. But he sucks. But it's it's a bad

770
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: matchup for Carter. Since Week six, my ammy is allowing

771
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: only seventy nine compoy yards per game. Uh, they haven't

772
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: allowed to touch down during that same span. Both their

773
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: league lows so very it's even that I worry they

774
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: don't give a full workload to Carter if he's not,

775
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: and I don't have to bring it is he's a

776
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: warm body. Let's put it that away. If you're desperate

777
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: running back, We'll give him the sea for that, a

778
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: warm bodied sea. And it could. I don't know. How

779
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: do how do we have a sound bite for a

780
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 1: warm body? I don't know. I don't know either believe

781
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: it or not. I do have another another starting grade.

782
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: It's Jamison Crowder. Oh, come on, it gets a se

783
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: uh Elijah more On I R as his Corey Davis.

784
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: The Jets gotta throw somebody. It's not gonna be Key

785
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: d J. Montgomery, Braxon Burrios, Denzel Mims or Vincent Smith.

786
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: It'd likely be Crowder. He did have six I should

787
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: have mentioned these teams had play in week Levin Crowder

788
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: did have six catches forty four yards in a touchdown

789
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: in the first meeting of a sea on Crowder, but

790
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: only only only in PPR leagues. Ryan Griffin obviously on

791
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: the bench as Zack Wilson for the Jets. We are

792
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: done with them. Over to the Dolphins side. Miles Gaskin

793
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: gets an a grade. Um, I know I just like

794
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: the way he delivered it gets an E grade. Like Gaskin,

795
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: He's like he's an enigma. Really, this is an amazing

796
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: matchup I mentioned earlier, and take a chance on me.

797
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: The Jets allowing a hundred and seventy plus combo yards

798
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: at one point eight total touchdowns per game two running backs,

799
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: and that is why Salvin Achmed was might take a

800
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: chance of me running back. There should be enough meat

801
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: on the bone for Acamed in this game, so both

802
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: running backs startable for Miami. Jalen Waddle has officially been

803
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: ruled out now, so bench him, that's for sure, but

804
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: start Davante Parker. Gonna give him a b uh. He

805
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: missed the first meeting between these two teams, but who

806
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: he will be running as Miami's wide receiver one now.

807
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: He played seventy one of the snaps in his Week

808
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 1: thirteen return, so he should be near full health following

809
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: the Dolphins rare Week fourteen By last week, the Jets

810
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: are so easy to run on the run on that

811
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm a little concerned about the volume for Parker, But again,

812
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the top wide receiver, so he gets

813
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: a B or will he be no, he won't be.

814
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: I know who is going to be at the top

815
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 1: wider Mike gisick there it is who really plays wide receiver,

816
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: although he's obviously tight end eligible. We'll we'll speak to

817
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: tight ends. The Jets are top eight and most fantasy

818
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: points per game allowed to tight ends. Gausiki had five

819
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 1: catches for fifty yards in the first meeting, but Miami

820
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: tight ends as a whole top yards in that game.

821
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: And I glossed over Isaiah Ford, who should be taking over. Well,

822
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna take the Jalen Waddle, uh Jalen Waddle role,

823
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give him a seen PPR. It is

824
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: a soft matchup, So if you're desperate wide receiver, go

825
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: for Isaiah Ford and uh to might take a chance

826
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: at the quarterback. He's probably more of a usually our

827
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: take coms or seas, but two is like more of

828
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: a like find number nine right quarterback this week. I

829
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: had him as an a but then when they lost,

830
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: Waddle kind of teamed him take on wordy in my mind.

831
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: But he'll still do just fine. Speaking of Miles Gaskin,

832
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 1: it's my number two ranked running back this week based

833
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: on everything else that's changed this week. Just you know,

834
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: you you get to annoy the fantasy fonsie. But what

835
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: do you think it's he still scares me. It is

836
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: an odd numbered week, does scientific? I think so? It

837
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 1: is week fifteen. We've got a couple of minutes before

838
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: we break for the end of our number one fantasy

839
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: owners who are trying to deal with all of our

840
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: COVID stuff and and generally in the playoffs, you want

841
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: to be dropping your mid tier starters, your courtland Sutton's

842
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 1: of the world who you will never play in any

843
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: normal scenario, to get backups to your stars who might

844
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: get COVID. And see, am I going to play any

845
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: of these guys in the next three weeks if the

846
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: matchups not awesome, drop drop them out right and go

847
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: get backups to your starters that would be starters, it

848
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: would be stars potentially if the starter goes down. So

849
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: you know, that's just situational awareness that we need to

850
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: have as fantasy owners. When we come back, we will

851
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,720
Speaker 1: continue through matchups including packers Ravens coming up shortly, plus

852
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 1: three tough questions and there's some tricky ones that deal

853
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: with COVID. Fantasy commissioners managers will help give you some

854
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: guidance on what you need to do in the trickiest

855
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: week we've ever seen in the history of fantasy football.

856
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,919
Speaker 1: Fantasy football has never been harder than it is this week.

857
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:51,760
Speaker 1: It's the game we love and there's no stable footing

858
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: for fantasy managers to try to make the right decisions

859
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: this week. You know, I feel one piece of luck

860
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: out of all of this. What's that half of the

861
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: fantasy managers are out of it? Yeah, that's that's true.

862
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 1: They don't have to deal with this headache. It's a

863
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,240
Speaker 1: good time. It's a good season to have a loss.

864
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: Have not made the playoffs if you needed to. This

865
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: time of year, you hear people complaining who had to buy? Yeah,

866
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: this was like like if you had Travis Kelsey and Ross, Like,

867
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: oh I kind of wanted those points. But you don't

868
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: hear that this year. Now people are happy, finally happy

869
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: to have their buy. Um, Matt Harrison, what's happening in

870
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: shock fantasy? Uh? Super dash? Getting ready for the playoffs?

871
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: Making all of your tough lineup decisions a little bit

872
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: easier from a statistical standpoint. I'm not sure I can

873
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: make it easier from the health standpoint. Everybody unfortunately. Yeah,

874
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: air Bear promo code gets you a nice little discount

875
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: of shock air Bear, nice tidy little Thursday night. Yeah,

876
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: I was wearing my air Bear T shirt that night.

877
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm with you, got mine too. This is a segment

878
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 1: we call three tough questions. Tough question number one, should

879
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: we sabboth hajj drop Lamar Jackson Matt So in a

880
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: redraft league, he's absolutely well obviously this is redraft only.

881
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: He's absolutely worth dropping. But should you drop him? No,

882
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: Because in order to perform a sabotage drop, you would

883
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: need to have done it already this week on Monday,

884
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 1: so people would be picking him up along the way

885
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: and and wasting their fab And if you do it

886
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: next week, you are already advancing in your fantasy playoffs,

887
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 1: and then only three other teams would be left in

888
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: your playoffs to maybe have a crack at him. So,

889
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: if you're allowing playoff pickups, I assume others in your

890
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: league in the consolation bracket are picking up players too,

891
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,280
Speaker 1: and then they'll grab him, and your sabotage drop is worthless.

892
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: So don't sabotage drop him. Brian, should we sabotage drop

893
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. No, I wouldn't do it. I'm tempted to

894
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: say yes, but he's got the Packers this week. We

895
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: all know he's most likely not gonna play, but he

896
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 1: does have the Bengals next week. They played once already

897
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: this year. Jack's seven passing yards, one passing touchdown, ran

898
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: the ball for eighty eight yards. I think he's still

899
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: he's almost It depends on your roster, but he's going

900
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: to be startable next week, depending on him being healthy,

901
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: and I think he will be. So I'm tempted to

902
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: say yes, but I'm saying no. Let's let's just take

903
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: the name Lamar Jackson off of this player for a moment,

904
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: just as just mystery player. Imagine the silhouette with a

905
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 1: question mark in it, and that's the player we're described from.

906
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:31,720
Speaker 1: QB Ravens from Technoball cry exactly one touchdown in nine

907
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: games this year, nine of twelve games, scoring exactly one touchdown.

908
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: That appears to be average finish in full games this

909
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:48,280
Speaker 1: year is quarterback four. Most leagues have ten or twelve teams,

910
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: so he's not a He's not even a starting quarterback

911
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 1: in an average week. He's sitting right next to Carson Wentz,

912
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: who is largely un rostered in many leagues in terms

913
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:03,280
Speaker 1: of average finished per game. He has just three finishes

914
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 1: this year as QB seven or better, three all year.

915
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: It's Christmas and mystery quarterback has three finishes of quarterback

916
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: seven or higher. That's it. So are you going to

917
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: start him the remainder of the way this week Green Bay,

918
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: Cincinnati or the Rams? No? Probably not. He's got a

919
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: bench grade coming this week next week. I haven't said

920
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: it yet, it's coming next week in Cincinnati. I think

921
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: he's gonna be sitting at roughly a C grade. But

922
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: maybe if you take a chance on me a quarterback

923
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: next week, maybe Championship week against the Rams, likely a

924
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: bench or a C grade, You've probably got another quarterback

925
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 1: who's better for you and more hazardous to an opponent.

926
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 1: Why not drop him? Maybe to Matt's points. So maybe

927
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 1: some not some consolation team's gonna pick him up. I

928
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 1: don't care. It doesn't hurt me. What hurts me is

929
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,879
Speaker 1: me starting Lamar Jackson. You can totally drop him if

930
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: there's a good player out there, but if not, he

931
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: could do you more harm than good. If you're in

932
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs, Lamar Jackson didn't get you there. Tough question

933
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: number two. In a league that locks rosters for the playoffs,

934
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 1: what should the commissioner do if a team can't feel

935
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: the starting lineup because of all the COVID problems. As

936
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 1: an example, Uh, you do not have a tight end.

937
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: You don't have a valid tight end. Every one of

938
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: your tight ends is out and your rosters are locked.

939
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: What should the commissioner like if you have Austin Hooper

940
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 1: and Tyler Higbee is yes. As a perfect example, Brian Um, Well,

941
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: this is speaking directly to private league's home leagues, whatever

942
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: you want to call them. Um, the commissioner should make

943
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: an exception if a guy has been officially ruled out

944
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,919
Speaker 1: put on, I r the COVID list, whatever you wanna

945
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: call it. You get one chance per player. I'll reach

946
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: out to you and say who do you want you get?

947
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,240
Speaker 1: I will, you know, add this player to your roster.

948
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 1: You don't to change your mind, and if he goes

949
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: on gets COVID, I don't care. You get one chance.

950
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: I'll make an exception. That's it. But I would do

951
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: a manual override. Only you can only really do this

952
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: in the private home leagues. Whatever. You can't do it

953
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: in a public contest, operators, they can't do you can't ah.

954
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: This is strictly for friends and family home leagues, uh, Matt.

955
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: Same question in a league that locks rosters for the playoffs,

956
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 1: what should a commissioner do if the team cannot feel

957
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: a starting lineup at one position due to all the

958
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: COVID problems. First off, don't lock your rosters for the playoffs.

959
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 1: And second, if you do, I think that you have

960
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: to expand your bench for just this reason. For the

961
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: playoff teams. Then I think what you do is you

962
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: do a fun little exercise and you have a draft

963
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: for the remaining bench players that you could do at

964
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 1: the How would you establish the draft order? I think

965
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: that you would go the the number one seed gets

966
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: the first overall pick uh to to fill out their bench.

967
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 1: If you're adding let's say five bench spots to your rosters,

968
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 1: at the end of the playoffs, number one seed gets

969
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: first pick and then and then you you have a

970
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 1: nice little serpentine draft and uh and and finish out

971
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: your rosters in that way. This is a better answer

972
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: than my answer. A lot of work, though there's a

973
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: great answer. I'll tell you why the problem with the

974
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,760
Speaker 1: solution that you offered, And I would take your solution, Brian,

975
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: which was I'm gonna give a one time exception to

976
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: the guy who can't feeld a starting roster. You've got

977
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: lock rosters, right, and I don't have a tight end.

978
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: He get this, This person gets to pick from all

979
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: of the available tight ends. It could be a huge

980
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 1: advantage to be able to go through all the tight

981
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: ends and just take the one player you want when

982
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 1: nobody else has that option. What I love about yours, Matt,

983
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: is everybody gets the same advantage. It's equitable to everyone,

984
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: and because you're doing it by record, the team that's

985
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,839
Speaker 1: earned it gets the first pick. Man, I love that.

986
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: Just one three tough questions, that's outstanding, brilliant question numbers

987
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 1: rendered You even gave your answer. No, I know that's

988
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: really actually won my first time in nine years. Did

989
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 1: you went? Uh? What was? He went four for six five? One?

990
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 1: You're confusing, you're confusing. Take a chance of you a

991
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,720
Speaker 1: three tough questions? It was it was five tough questions

992
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: and he went six for five, which is very just

993
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: very hard to do. Um, it's the what's the how

994
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: did captain Kirk break the simulation. Thing was that the

995
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: Kobe Ashi maneuver or something. Do you know what no idea,

996
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: what you're talking Google Captain Kirk breaking the simulation or whatever?

997
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: You know that that he Yes, you'll you'll see what

998
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: I mean. It's not kobe Ashi, but it's something. It's

999
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: something Maru koby Ashi, Maru something like that. Anyway, the

1000
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: answer I had was that I would I would grant

1001
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 1: you the roster exception, but I would give your opponent

1002
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: the same thing and the chance to go first. I

1003
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: like you wars even better, which gives it to all

1004
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 1: the remaining team play. And you could still do it

1005
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: if you wanted to um this weekend, or you could

1006
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: do it before the Saturday night game happens. Everybody's got

1007
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: their their Thursday guys locked. But you could still do

1008
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: it before the Saturday night game happens. Or you can

1009
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: say just the obvious next guy up, like you know,

1010
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: like the next tight end on the depth chart on

1011
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: the same team. You get it, then you don't have

1012
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 1: to reach out to the other You do it that way.

1013
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,280
Speaker 1: But that answer is the best. I think Matt's answer

1014
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: is the best. Tough question Number three should teams that

1015
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: are out of the playoffs continue to make roster moves

1016
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: during the playoffs, Matt Chart, I know that you and

1017
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: I have the same exact answer, so I'm not going

1018
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: to I'm not I'm I. I heard you on another

1019
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:51,359
Speaker 1: radio show talking about this exact tough question, and I

1020
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: agree with you completely, So I will just take the

1021
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: already want to questions, Brian, What do you got Should

1022
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: teams that are out of the playoffs continue to be

1023
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: allowed to continue to make roster moves during the playoffs

1024
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,800
Speaker 1: and redraft? No, unless there's some kind of consolation bracket

1025
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: where there's money on the line or some kind of prize,

1026
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: but on a high level. No in redraft and dynasty, absolutely,

1027
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 1: because you're always improving your team for the future. You

1028
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,479
Speaker 1: can't restrict a non playoff team in a dynasty league

1029
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: from making ads while the playoff teams that have their

1030
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: essential free pick of all the available free agents. So no, redraft, yes,

1031
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: dynasty in a nutshell, if your league has provided some

1032
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 1: kind of incentive for teams that aren't in the playoffs

1033
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: to continue to compete, like, for example, weekly high score

1034
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: h a consolation bracket or a toilet bowl or something

1035
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 1: like that then yes, I mean, if you're asking those

1036
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 1: teams to continue to be competitive, then they need to

1037
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: be able to continue to make moves. If the answer

1038
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 1: is no, you don't just get to play spoiler and

1039
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: play keep away with free agents. Sure, so the answers

1040
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: no in that case. So it's a two part answer, Brett,

1041
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: It's something more ru hi. Um, so what is it?

1042
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 1: The Captain and Kirk broke the simulation with So the

1043
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: simulation itself was called the kobe Ashi Maru. Yes, that

1044
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: was the name of the simulation. Okay, he was yeah, um.

1045
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: He was the only cadet in the star Fleet to

1046
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: ever beat it by reprogramming the simulation so that it

1047
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 1: was possible to win. So that was the name of

1048
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: the simulation. A franchise. I've never I you know, I

1049
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 1: only had two out of three questions, right, I'm giving

1050
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:30,919
Speaker 1: myself a bonus point for that, So now I'm gonna

1051
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 1: go three out of three. You've never gone this yet.

1052
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: This was the first time I had not gone three

1053
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: out of three, and I found a way to give

1054
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: myself an extra bonus and it was the start trek question. Yes,

1055
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: it was all right, let's go to uh matchups including

1056
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: Packers taking on the Ravens. Rogers, Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams

1057
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: are automatic a's obviously, especially in this matchup against a

1058
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: bad Raven secondary. But let's talk about Alan Lazard six

1059
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 1: and seven targets the last two games, and Baltimore is

1060
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: without its two best corner acts. I think he is

1061
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: a COVID week dart throw. You guys like to call

1062
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: your darts see dartschis a c great I needs a

1063
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: dart throne, so we're gonna give him the s dart.

1064
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 1: Alan Lazard, A J. Dillon, and Aaron Jones are just

1065
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: se grades here. Each. Dylan got far more work last week,

1066
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: and I think it looks like the Patricks are trying

1067
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: to ensure that Jones is fresh for the playoffs. Baltimore

1068
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 1: is a very good run defense. They're only giving up

1069
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: three point eight yards per carry on the season. That's

1070
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 1: the third lowest rate, and since their Week eight by

1071
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: more recently, Baltimore is only allowed a single run of

1072
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: more than fifteen yards since Week eight, and they've kept

1073
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,479
Speaker 1: opposing running backs completely out of the end zone since

1074
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: Week eight. Week it was a long time ago nobody

1075
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: even knew what a macrowd was in weekend. Let's go

1076
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 1: over to the Baltimore side. Mark Andrews didn't suffer at

1077
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: all with Tyler Huntley at the Holme last week, so

1078
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: we can safely start him again here. Although I don't

1079
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 1: think Huntley is gonna end up going, we do expect

1080
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson to go in this game. Green has limited

1081
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: tight end production, but when facing elite talents t J. Hockenson,

1082
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: George Kittle, Travis Kelsey, packers have been exposed. Each of

1083
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: them saw eight or more targets in average seventy five

1084
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: yards and two of the three scored touchdowns. Marcus Brown

1085
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: C grade here, we'll bump him up to a well

1086
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get I'm gonna move them to a B

1087
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: grade on on on the expectation that Jackson will go

1088
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 1: as expected here um mired in a sizeable scoring slump

1089
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: after a hot start and a touchdown though possible here

1090
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 1: because Green Bay has allowed the most touchdowns per game

1091
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: to wide receivers one point eight per game over the

1092
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: last five weeks, and they've done that while allowing the

1093
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: twelfth fewest receptions, So maybe the touch on productions a

1094
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 1: little bit fluky here. If Gyr Alexander comes back, it

1095
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: doesn't phase me that much because it will be his

1096
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: first game back after two months, and I think he'll

1097
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: probably hit the field a little rusty and on a

1098
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: diminished snap count. So I'd still stick with the B

1099
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: grade on Marquis Brown. I've got Lamar Jackson on the bench,

1100
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: and I really I've really been back and forth on this. Now.

1101
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 1: The presumption is that his mobility is going to be

1102
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: dramatically curtailed here um and if I got to rely

1103
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: on Jackson's arm topower me to fantasy points, that feels

1104
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: like that feels like trouble. As mentioned earlier, he's topped

1105
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: one passing touchdown in just two games. Average passing game

1106
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: is just two hundred sixty to six yards. Isn't bad,

1107
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: but the one point for a touchdowns is not good.

1108
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: Almost exactly Ben Roethlisberg. Around the season, Green Bay secondary

1109
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: has been inconsistent, but on the whole has been good.

1110
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: So I'm keeping him on the bench. Shot Bateman came

1111
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: off the bench last week. Well, we're all talking about

1112
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: him like, this is the breakout game for Bateman. This

1113
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: is the breakout game for Bateman, never comes, never comes.

1114
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 1: We all give up on him. He doesn't even start

1115
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: the game, but then Tyler Huntley throws to him like

1116
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 1: crazy and he ends up with a good game. Last week,

1117
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: I'm not chasing that weird fluky outpush. I need more

1118
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: consistency from marishat Bateman before we go there. Let's take

1119
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: a break when we come back, Matt, this Raiders in

1120
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: Brown's game is who knows which Browns are in? Which

1121
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 1: are gonna be out? This is not gonna be easy.

1122
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: Who knows what day we'll play it? Well, seemingly on Tuesday. Now.

1123
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: I don't think they can move it again. All I

1124
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: know is all right, Monday, they could move it again.

1125
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 1: Darren Waller has a better chance of playing maybe a

1126
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 1: little bit. Uh, this thing's gonna be ugly. Well here

1127
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 1: Matt try to muddle through Raiders Browns when we come

1128
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly.

1129
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: It is the most grueling, difficult week in the history

1130
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: of Fantasy football and this show, as exemplified by Matt

1131
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: Harrison trying to break down the Raiders taking on the

1132
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: Browns in a game that has been moved from Saturday

1133
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 1: to Monday. And Matt, there's so many shifting sands on

1134
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: this but I still got to believe that the Browns

1135
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 1: are going to be without many key components to their

1136
00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: to their offense in this one, and their defense, which

1137
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 1: is a very important part for the Reds, like their

1138
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: entire secondary may miss this game. Yeah. So, as I

1139
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: was writing up this matchup, because I write up what

1140
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, Uh, twenty three players on the

1141
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: Browns are on the COVID reserve list, fifteen of which

1142
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: are starters, including as of now, seven starting members of

1143
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 1: the defense and eight backups on the defense. And I

1144
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: like Raiders in this game. That's good for the Raiders, right,

1145
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 1: And I think Baker Mayfield tweeted something like Derek Carr

1146
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: is gonna eat his alive or something like that. Yeah. Well,

1147
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: let's start with the easiest Raider to rate, and that's

1148
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfrew, who gets an A grade. Uh. He's the

1149
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: entire offense for them right now. Fourteen targets, thirteen catches,

1150
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: a hundred and seventeen yards and a score last week.

1151
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: Has also been targeted at least nine times in five

1152
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: of the last six games. He should see a fair

1153
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: amount of m J. Stewart in this game. Who hasn't

1154
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: logged a snap this year. As both Troy Hill and

1155
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 1: Greg Knewsome looked like they're going to miss this game,

1156
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: Auster Moreau, I have him on the bench. Uh, Darren

1157
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: Waller looks like he's out with a knee injury. But

1158
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 1: now that the game has been moved two days later,

1159
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: it's possible that Darren Waller could play. No tight end

1160
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 1: except for Travis Kelsey has topped the fifty one yard

1161
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: mark on the Browns all season, So I got the

1162
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: both of the tight ends on the bench in this one.

1163
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, I'm giving a B grade two. He's averaging

1164
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 1: three yards per game in a score and a half,

1165
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 1: and with so many members of the Browns defense out,

1166
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: I think he can wiggle his way to at least

1167
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: to seventy five and two. That's B grade worthy in

1168
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 1: my book. And Josh Jacobs, I'm giving a B grade

1169
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 1: two as well. The Raiders had to abandon the run

1170
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: last week, Jacob still ended up with fourteen touches and

1171
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 1: has been very active in the passing game as of

1172
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: recent averaging just over five catches per game in his

1173
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: last five. Only Leonard four Net has more running back

1174
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: catches in that span. Every non Ravens runner to face

1175
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: the Browns has had a good week since mid October,

1176
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: so Jacobs is fine. Here on the Cleveland side, Baker

1177
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 1: Mayfield and case Keenum right now both out on the

1178
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: COVID list. Offensive tackle Jedrick Wills, offensive guard Wyatt Teller,

1179
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper, Jarvis Landry, and Anthony Schwartz are all on

1180
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: the COVID list. Not to mention, they lost tackle Jack

1181
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: Conklin a few weeks ago, and Kareem Hunt is on

1182
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 1: the shelf with an injury. So Nick Mullins, and yeah,

1183
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins is your starter. He started nine times for

1184
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: the forty niners last year career, and credit the Browns

1185
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: for having a Their third string quarterbacks got seventeen NFL

1186
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: star Their third string quarterback is the best third string

1187
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. It's gotta be. He averaged a

1188
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: very respectable two hundred sixty three yards and one point

1189
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 1: three touchdowns last year, but with three of his five

1190
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: offensive linemen and three of his main five receivers missing

1191
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: the game, I don't think you can start Mullins with confidence.

1192
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: And I covered David and Joku and to take a

1193
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: chance on me segment because Mullins does target the end,

1194
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: and I think that's a great spot for in Joku.

1195
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 1: Last week against Baltimore, Donovan People's Jones was the only

1196
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver besides Jarvis Landry to receiver target just out

1197
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 1: of sheer volume. He gets a C grade here. Richard

1198
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: Higgins is the only active roster wide receiver right now

1199
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 1: besides d p J. Finally, Nick Chubb, who really has

1200
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 1: been flat out disappointing in his two consecutive games against

1201
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens with that bye week in between. So I'm

1202
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,479
Speaker 1: surprised CHARGE didn't have a Nick Chubb should we drop

1203
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 1: him question, because you usually do that when a guy

1204
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 1: has a bye week. I I do overreact sometimes, but

1205
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 1: we're not dropping Chubb. But I don't know starting I'm

1206
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: giving him an A grade. He's still dominating. He's absolutely

1207
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 1: dominating the workload twenty touches last week, and the Raiders

1208
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 1: are absolutely brutal against running backs. They are ranking in

1209
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: the bottom ten in just about every statistical category. And

1210
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 1: I considered d Ernest Johnson as a C. Dart harpoon here,

1211
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: but I don't think I could trust the workload of

1212
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: him in the fantasy placed on nothing in these opportunities

1213
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 1: to fill in for Cream Hunt. His one good game

1214
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: is when he got all the carrier, They're going to

1215
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: hand the ball to Chubs, and I'm so nervous about

1216
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: the fact that they can't get anything else going that

1217
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 1: all the Raiders will do is play to stop Nick Chubb.

1218
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: The Raiders have tried to stop the run all year

1219
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 1: and it hasn't worked. Yeah, but then you have a

1220
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: function you have still do account for a functional quarterback

1221
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 1: and passing game, and he might be missing to lineman,

1222
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm nervous. I'm way more nervous about Chubb than you are. Here.

1223
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: There we go. I can't take credit for this, but

1224
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 1: I saw on Twitter someone said this game should be

1225
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: impossible to be played because Baker Mayfield lives at the stadium.

1226
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 1: That's a great in fact that the entire stadium you

1227
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 1: can go to Bengals take on the Broncos. Brian, this

1228
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:42,919
Speaker 1: is the rare game that doesn't seem to have any

1229
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 1: really significant COVID related issues. So let's start on the

1230
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 1: Bengal side. Joe Mixon has been disappointing over the past

1231
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't know three or four games. What do you

1232
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 1: think here? Yeah, Mixing has cooled down in recent weeks,

1233
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: partially because he's been banged up, but either way, his

1234
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 1: production has slowed, so just to be for him, He's

1235
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 1: also losing a lot of his receiving work to Somaj

1236
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:05,439
Speaker 1: p Ryans. P Ryan has out targeted Mixican Nixon six

1237
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: to two over the last two weeks. Uh. Not a

1238
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 1: great matchup. Not a bad matchup for running backs. The

1239
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 1: Broncos have allowed the sixth highest yards per carry but

1240
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: the sixth fewest touchdowns to opposing running back. So just

1241
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 1: to be for Mixing, I'm gonna give T Higgins B Mr.

1242
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,919
Speaker 1: T Higgins. He has racked up three straight one plus

1243
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 1: yard games. Uh. This is a somewhat tough match up

1244
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: on paper, though Patrick Surtan and Ronald Darby are very

1245
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 1: formidable cornerback duo. Over the last five weeks, Denver has

1246
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: allowed the eighth fewest yards to wide receivers. Despite that,

1247
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Jamar Chase a B as well. Uh.

1248
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:44,439
Speaker 1: He always has a upside with his talent. Last week,

1249
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: Chase became the fifth wide receiver since the NFL a

1250
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: f L merger to record one thousand yards and ten

1251
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his rookie season, joining Justin Jefferson, Randy Moss,

1252
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,919
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, and Mike Evans on a very prestigious list.

1253
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: So a B for for Chase and Higgins, both wide receivers,

1254
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 1: but a bench grade for Tyler Boyd. He continues to

1255
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: be the odd man out in the wide receiver room.

1256
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: Not liking him this week. And lastly, just to see

1257
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: for Joe Burrow. Last week, Burrow not most multiple passing

1258
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns for the first time since Week eight, ending a

1259
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 1: four game drought where he total just three scores through

1260
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: the air. Unfortunately for Burrow, be tough to stay hot

1261
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: against the Broncos, who are top ten in fewest passing

1262
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: yards allowed per game and only lowest opponent completion percentage

1263
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 1: at just fifty eight percent. And what's more, no opposing

1264
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 1: quarterback has managed to top two passing touchdowns against Denver

1265
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 1: all season long. So just to see for Joe Burrow

1266
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 1: over to the Denver side, starting with the running backs

1267
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: in Melvin Gordon canna give him a see. He returned

1268
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 1: last week to lead the Broncos backfield in carries with

1269
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 1: twenty four and snaps. Uh since he is a decent

1270
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: matchup for running backs. Are allowing five compo yards per

1271
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: game to the position, and that's why Javonte Williams gets

1272
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: to see as well. He will be active for this game.

1273
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: Basically back that fifty fifty split though, which sucks no offense.

1274
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon is still a very good football player. He

1275
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: was actually running fine. He is, man, it was funny.

1276
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: I know what. I don't want him to but the

1277
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: reality is Melvin Gordon's good. He's the most hated man

1278
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 1: in fantasy football for no Reasonay, we just want Bell

1279
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: Cou Javante. We're gonna have to wait till next year,

1280
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: but Javonte is the preferred past watch. Melvin Gordon's gonna

1281
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: resign with the Broncos. Don't you put that evil on us.

1282
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: I'll be so disappointed. The Bengals are allowing seven receptions

1283
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 1: per game to opposing running back, So I like Javonte

1284
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: still this week he gets to see. I don't like

1285
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy a whole lot, considering he has scored zero

1286
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns this year. He has been hurt a little bit.

1287
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 1: But just to see for Judy, the Bengals have allowed

1288
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 1: five eighty yard receiving games over the last five weeks.

1289
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: If Broncos wide receiver is gonna not eighty receiving yards

1290
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 1: is probably Jerry Judy is not gonna be Courtland Sutton.

1291
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 1: He's on the bench. Sutton is scoreless since Week six.

1292
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 1: He's been held under thirty yards in five straight games.

1293
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 1: He's just been absolutely brutal. Thirty million and don't pass

1294
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: them the ball. Teddy Bridgewater is the fantasy eraser. Yeah,

1295
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:08,919
Speaker 1: Suton easily drop herble in redraft formats, but we still

1296
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: got a hold in dynasty. Unfortunately I'm doing it. It's painful. Uh. Lastly,

1297
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: for the past catchers, Noah Fant gets to see Albert

1298
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: oh has really eaten eaten into fans production. But this

1299
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 1: is a decent matchup. The Bengals are allowing five plus

1300
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: catches in nearly sixty yards per game to opposing tight ends,

1301
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: and over the last six games since he has surrendered

1302
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: five scores to the tight end position. So a very

1303
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 1: safe seat for fans and Teddy b The B stands

1304
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 1: for bench for no doubt about it. So the Washington

1305
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 1: game against Philadelphia has been moved to Tuesday, and I'm

1306
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:44,600
Speaker 1: gonna do my best with what the information we have

1307
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 1: at this time, which is basically most of Washington's not playing,

1308
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 1: and their starting quarterback could very well be Kyle Shermer. Yes,

1309
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Pat Shermer's kid, who I think was either

1310
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: corectdraft like a fifth or sixth th I have been

1311
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 1: drafted I think the Chiefs, and he got cut and

1312
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 1: he bounced around a little bit, and Ryan Fitzpatrick willis

1313
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:14,720
Speaker 1: Reid moment. That's Ryan Fitzpatrick's music. I'd love that. So

1314
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 1: with Kyle Schermer at the helm, and even if Kyle

1315
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 1: Allen defies expectation and comes back here, I only have

1316
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 1: one starter for all of Washington injuries throughout the team,

1317
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 1: including there down to their fifth string center, guy named

1318
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 1: John Toth, whose day job is as a plus sized

1319
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: male model. I'm working at a starting center. I hear

1320
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 1: you an Tonio Gibson straight up on the bench. With

1321
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: defense is really only having to stop Antonio Gibson and

1322
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 1: not worry about the passing game led by Kyle Schermer.

1323
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: Uh Gibson averaging just his averaging under four yards per

1324
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: carrying each of the last three games, and Charles Leno

1325
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: may not start. That's their left tackle over the last

1326
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:58,799
Speaker 1: three games. Only one team has a loud fewer rushing

1327
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 1: yards than the Eagles have. They turned into an elite

1328
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: run defense. It was a bad matchup any anyway, made worse.

1329
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm not starting Antonio Gibson in the whole passing game

1330
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: on the bench, including Terry McLaurin, wasn't playing all that

1331
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 1: well anyway. He had to get this. Mclarina has reached

1332
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 1: sixty yards once in the last six games. That's terrible

1333
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 1: as one touchdown over that stretch too, and brutal matchup

1334
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:28,720
Speaker 1: with Darius Slay. The sleigh ride is back. There is

1335
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:34,439
Speaker 1: no no, no, no, no, Hey, there we go. The

1336
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 1: sleigh ride is back. He's profo ball focuses fourth ranked cornerback.

1337
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: Don't start Terry McLaren here, works to it kind of

1338
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 1: does Uh, you're one starter if you believe like I

1339
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: do that Philadelphia is gonna stake a big lead j

1340
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 1: D mckissic, assuming he clears the concussion protocol, he's expected

1341
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 1: to go here. The Eagles are gonna lead throughout and

1342
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 1: I can see Kyle Sherman just doing dump off short

1343
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:05,640
Speaker 1: passes to j. D mckissic. In PPR leagues, he is

1344
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: a c grade. Let's go over to Philadelphia. I've upgraded

1345
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 1: basically all of my Eagles by a full letter grade

1346
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:16,680
Speaker 1: because of all of the injuries that the Washington defense has,

1347
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 1: including potentially all of its starting defensive line in this game.

1348
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders has been great while healthy and playing. He's

1349
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 1: averaged over five point five yards per carry over his

1350
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:34,280
Speaker 1: last three full games. The Washington run defense had been fantastic,

1351
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:36,639
Speaker 1: but again, if these guys aren't starting, maybe it doesn't

1352
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 1: even matter, and the Philadelphia is likely to get ahead

1353
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: and just run out the clock in this game. So

1354
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 1: I like Miles Sanders here. Um, Washington has only given

1355
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 1: up one score since the week nine by but maybe

1356
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't even matter. You could you could play a

1357
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 1: desperation Boston Scott if you wanted to, But I don't

1358
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna go quite that deeper. We're gonna stick

1359
01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 1: with Miles Sanders has gotten the vast majority of the work.

1360
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 1: I orige only had Jalen Hurts on the bench, but

1361
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 1: he gets an extra two days to heal that ankle,

1362
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 1: so maybe he can run a bit here, and even

1363
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,599
Speaker 1: if he can't, the passing could come easily if Washington

1364
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 1: doesn't have all the defensive players it's expected to have here.

1365
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 1: Over the past six weeks, the average game against Washington

1366
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:19,560
Speaker 1: passing game is a modest two twenty one yards and

1367
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:22,639
Speaker 1: one point three touchdowns, and that includes holding far better

1368
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,599
Speaker 1: passers Derek Carr and Dak Prescott to a combined one

1369
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 1: score of the past two weeks. But again, if there's

1370
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 1: injury ravaged as we expect I think hurts and it

1371
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 1: hurts his foot is back, then maybe he can between

1372
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 1: running and passing, he can get up to a C

1373
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:38,839
Speaker 1: grade on this. Dallas Goddard is a solid B grade

1374
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 1: with zach Ertz out. He's top sixty yards and four

1375
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:44,680
Speaker 1: of the past seven games the football team has been

1376
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 1: pretty stout against opposing tight ends, only two tight ends

1377
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 1: of top sixty yards against them. But again due to injuries,

1378
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 1: I think you can start Dallas Goddard pretty safely. And lastly,

1379
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,680
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith. Over his last three games, Smith, averaging just

1380
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 1: thirty three yards, hasn't found the end zone. Um in

1381
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:05,120
Speaker 1: Washington's last six games, which includes matchups against Brady and Prescott,

1382
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 1: only Tyler Lockett and Hunter Rent for we were able

1383
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 1: to reach sixty five yards, So we're gonna we're gonna

1384
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 1: throw out Davonta Smith here, well maybe even give him

1385
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:16,599
Speaker 1: a secret. Well, I'm gonna go I'll well go ahead

1386
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 1: give him a because again, if watching his missing all

1387
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: the players we expect them to be missing, Smith's the

1388
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 1: best chance for somebody other receivers have a big game.

1389
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 1: He's the guy who want to start. If you're going

1390
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 1: up against someone who started, Travis Kelsey or something, I

1391
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:33,679
Speaker 1: need something special to happen. Yeah, that's a great angle.

1392
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 1: That is a great angle. When we come back our

1393
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:41,599
Speaker 1: final three matchups, including Seahawks taking on the Rams another Tuesday,

1394
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 1: another Tuesday game with a bunch of injuries. What to

1395
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:47,599
Speaker 1: do a DK Metcalf will talk about that when we

1396
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 1: come back for the final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly.

1397

01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 1: it continues to be updated all the way up to

1406
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:41,680
Speaker 1: kickoffs on Monday, Tuesday, Sunday. So we have games Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.

1407
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:48,599
Speaker 1: This week crazy, poor Friday, Poor Friday. It's a bad deal.

1408
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:50,920
Speaker 1: And then it goes Saturday again. It's eight of the

1409
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:54,320
Speaker 1: next ten days. There's gonna be pro football. Wow, that's

1410
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 1: not starting this weekend? Really eight of the next tent No,

1411
01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 1: really no, no, No Friday this week and then and

1412
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 1: then Thursday game this week. They're done with Thursdays. They're

1413
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: done with Thursday games. I'm almost sure Seahawks take down

1414
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 1: the Rams. Matt And for the Seahawks, Tyler Lockett probably

1415
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:17,919
Speaker 1: not available, may be available, maybe comes back by Tuesday.

1416
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 1: It's possible. It's possible. Alex Collins and Tyler Lockett are

1417
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:25,640
Speaker 1: the notable Seahawks on the COVID list. There's gonna be

1418
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:27,920
Speaker 1: more in this game, but those are the only Seahawks.

1419
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny was might take a chance of me. Runner

1420
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has never thrown for a three yard game

1421
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:37,640
Speaker 1: against the Rams and twelve career starts, and he has

1422
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 1: thrown multiple touchdowns only once in his last five matchups

1423
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:44,759
Speaker 1: with l A. However, the Rams have twenty five players

1424
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:48,759
Speaker 1: on the COVID list, including four starting defensive players, seven

1425
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 1: backup defensive players, and Aaron Donald was estimated as a

1426
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:55,840
Speaker 1: limited participant with a knee injury because the Rams can't

1427
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 1: meet in person, so it was an estimated limited participant

1428
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 1: for that. I'm gonna give Wilson a B grade because

1429
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 1: he's kind of facing a preseason style defense. Um. Some

1430
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 1: of the noteworthy guys who are out on the defensive side,

1431
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:15,800
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, Von Miller, It's it's pretty big, so um.

1432
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 1: So let's move on to DK Metcalf, who did practice

1433
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:20,719
Speaker 1: in full on Friday and if lock It is out.

1434
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:23,599
Speaker 1: Both Freddie Swain and d s Gridge are both deal

1435
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:27,280
Speaker 1: dealing with injuries as well. So Metcalf. He's been working

1436
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 1: through foot and back stuff, but he looks like he's

1437
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 1: ready to go. With Jalen Ramsey on the COVID list,

1438
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 1: that's a good thing for Metcalf. And it's worth noting

1439
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,719
Speaker 1: that Metcalf has scored twice against the Rams in each

1440
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 1: of his last two games against them. And that's with

1441
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:42,680
Speaker 1: Ramsey playing, so I think d K will play and

1442
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 1: if he's active, he's a B grade as well. Gerald

1443
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 1: Everett kind of becomes the de facto number two wide

1444
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 1: receiver with lock it Out. And it's also a revenge

1445
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:55,200
Speaker 1: game for Gerald Everett in l A and the first

1446
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 1: time they played this this year in weeks Week five,

1447
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:01,439
Speaker 1: Everett was out in that game. So the Rams are

1448
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 1: normally the middle of the pack against the tight end

1449
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,839
Speaker 1: position and a normal tight end coverage guy. Ernest Jones

1450
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:10,640
Speaker 1: is still active as of now, but he's not that

1451
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 1: great at coverage, so he's actually allowed three touchdowns in

1452
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:18,679
Speaker 1: his last six games. UH. Of the twenty five Rams

1453
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:22,440
Speaker 1: on the COVID list, the most important on the offensive

1454
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:28,759
Speaker 1: side are right tackle Rob Havenstein, Darryl Henderson, Odell Beckham,

1455
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 1: although Beckham tweeted that he was negative on Friday, so

1456
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 1: I think he's going in this game. He could have

1457
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:38,799
Speaker 1: been talking about, though you never know. And Tyler Higbee,

1458
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 1: who just tested positive on Friday, so he probably won't

1459
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:45,759
Speaker 1: go anyway. Matthew Stafford he still gets an A grade.

1460
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 1: Unlike Wilson, Stafford has thrown for three yards against the Seahawks.

1461
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 1: Every time he's faced them in a rams UNI and

1462
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 1: he's yeah, that's right. He's thrown for three touchdown passes

1463
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:58,840
Speaker 1: in each of the last three games. Seattle is allowing

1464
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 1: the most passing yards per game, but weirdly the sixth

1465
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 1: fewest passing touchdowns, so that's kind of strange. Cooper Cup

1466
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:11,640
Speaker 1: is my fantasy art Vark of the week. I like it.

1467
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 1: That's a solid A grade right there. Van Jefferson, I'm

1468
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 1: giving him a B on the premise that O'Dell doesn't go.

1469
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:21,800
Speaker 1: If O'Dell does go, If O'Dell does go, I think

1470
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 1: Van Jefferson still a C grade. Van will line up

1471
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:29,759
Speaker 1: against DJ Read most often, where Jefferson has a five

1472
01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:33,200
Speaker 1: inch advantage in the height department. And then the last

1473
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: guy is Sony Michelle, who gets an A grade because

1474
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:38,840
Speaker 1: it looks like Henderson is out for a third straight week.

1475
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:40,560
Speaker 1: He's on the COVID list and he's still dealing with

1476
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 1: now that they've moved it. Maybe if Henderson does go,

1477
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 1: Henderson gets the A grade. If Henderson doesn't go, Michelle

1478
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: gets the ego um because he would get to bell

1479
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:54,800
Speaker 1: Cow again and he's averaged twenty two carries for a

1480
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:59,160
Speaker 1: hundred yards over the last two weeks. Better if if

1481
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:01,559
Speaker 1: Henderson doesn't go, because you know what to get out

1482
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: of Sony. If Henderson does go, I worry a little

1483
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,920
Speaker 1: bit about a possible harsh a little time share. We

1484
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: call him Sony Michelle Cow, Michelle Cow. I like it.

1485
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: Uh Well, Michelle Cow would face his easiest matchup that

1486
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:17,600
Speaker 1: he's seen so far this year. Seattle is allowing the

1487
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,719
Speaker 1: most touches per game to opposing runners at thirty four

1488
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 1: per game, and opposing bats have hit them up for

1489
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty eight combo yards per game this season.

1490
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 1: So even if Henderson does play, Sony, Michelle is still

1491
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:34,599
Speaker 1: a plausible c start here. If Henderson does go, alright,

1492
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:38,200
Speaker 1: it's gross. It's it's a Tuesday game. If you can

1493
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 1: start anybody ahead of these guys except for Cooper, Cup

1494
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:45,760
Speaker 1: I think and Stafford, I'd start those guys. Saints take

1495
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 1: on the Bucks, Brian and for the Saints, this is

1496
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 1: a tricky matchup a lot of different ways. Alvin Kamara

1497
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:58,600
Speaker 1: is traditionally been able to find ways to fantasy relevancy

1498
01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 1: against a very good run defense. What do you think

1499
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 1: about this week? Yeah, Well, we'll start with the Camara.

1500
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a B by now. Everyone should

1501
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: be aware that the Bucks are a brutal matchup for

1502
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: running backs, are allowing less than one combo yards per

1503
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 1: game to the position, just eight total touchdowns allowed to

1504
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 1: running backs all year, but one of those touchdowns that

1505
01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:17,800
Speaker 1: did go to Kimara. When these teams met in Week eight,

1506
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 1: Camara also totaled seventy six combo yards of that touchdown.

1507
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 1: That's kind of the floor and almost ceiling we're looking

1508
01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:27,760
Speaker 1: at here. Temper your expectations with Camara, but certainly the

1509
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 1: star and the ceiling. It's at the same time. It's

1510
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: it's it's an uncomfortable spot to be in. It's a

1511
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:37,240
Speaker 1: really weird room. Speaking of a weird room, the wide

1512
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 1: receiver room is pretty weird for the Saints with tray

1513
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 1: Kwan Smith, Marquette Callaway, and Esop Winston, all who combined

1514
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:46,920
Speaker 1: for just six catches last week against the Jets. Love

1515
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:49,599
Speaker 1: his fables, by the way, but New Orleans didn't need

1516
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:51,439
Speaker 1: to throw much in that game. They will likely need

1517
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 1: to throw more against the Bucks. I am gonna give

1518
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:57,160
Speaker 1: tray Kwan Smith a CEE. He had a touchdown in

1519
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 1: the earlier meeting this year, and he swored two touchdowns

1520
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 1: one game against the Bucks last year and one in

1521
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:05,840
Speaker 1: the other, so four touchdowns across his last three games

1522
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:07,880
Speaker 1: for tray Kuwan Smith against the Bucks, so see for

1523
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 1: him and his c for Nick Vannette. Saints tight end

1524
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:13,599
Speaker 1: Vanette has seen the second most targets from Taysom Hill

1525
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks, and the Bucks are allowing

1526
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 1: six plus catches and nearly sixty yards per game to

1527
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:21,360
Speaker 1: opposing tight end. So if you're desperated tight end, Nick

1528
01:21:21,439 --> 01:21:24,600
Speaker 1: Vannette is worth a shot. And Taysom Hill, I'm not

1529
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 1: gonna give him an a, but I'm gonna even be

1530
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:29,719
Speaker 1: He has a one percent completion rate in three career

1531
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: games against the Bucks. Now, granted his past attempts in

1532
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 1: those three games were to one and one. He'll probably

1533
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:37,240
Speaker 1: pass it more in this one. But of course, it's

1534
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:39,719
Speaker 1: all about the rushing with Taysom Mill. In his last

1535
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: six starts, Hill was averaging sixty three rushing yards and

1536
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 1: one rushing touchdown per game. Josh Allen just ran for

1537
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 1: a hundred plus yards against the Bucks last week, also

1538
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 1: had three hundred plus passing yards, and I think we

1539
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 1: can call Taysom Hill a very poor man's Josh Allen,

1540
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:55,639
Speaker 1: so a B for Taysom Hill over to the Tampa

1541
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 1: Bay side, starting with Leonard Fournette. He will play in

1542
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 1: this game. He's been nursing an injury, but he will play.

1543
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 1: He gets a c just forty three scoreless combo yards

1544
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 1: on eleven touches in the first meeting. He'll likely get

1545
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 1: more touches in this game, though, as his last three

1546
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:11,280
Speaker 1: touch counts have been twenty and twenty four and an

1547
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 1: absolute bell cow as of late. But a tough matchup

1548
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 1: for him as well. New Orleans is allowing just ninety

1549
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 1: seven conboy yards per game to running backs. Another it's

1550
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:22,240
Speaker 1: a tough magic from Mike Evans, too likely to square

1551
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 1: off with Marshawn Lattimore yet again. Evans did have two

1552
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 1: catches for forty eight yards and a touchdown in the

1553
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 1: first meeting, but in his previous five games against the

1554
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,400
Speaker 1: Saints he has total just ten catches for a hundred

1555
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 1: and thirty six yards in one touchdown. Those averages have

1556
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,080
Speaker 1: not come out to a very pretty number for Evans,

1557
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 1: but Chris Godwin put up very pretty numbers in the

1558
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:43,800
Speaker 1: first game against the Saints, he gets an A. He's

1559
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:45,880
Speaker 1: had at least ten catches and over a hundred yards

1560
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:47,559
Speaker 1: and back to back games. He could do it again

1561
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:49,960
Speaker 1: and this one. The Saints have allowed these six most

1562
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 1: yards to wide receivers um and Godwin lit him up

1563
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:55,680
Speaker 1: in the first meeting for eight catches, a hundred and

1564
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,200
Speaker 1: forty yards and in touchdown. So love God when here

1565
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 1: he gets an A, as does Rob Gronkowski. Uh, he

1566
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:03,719
Speaker 1: really didn't play in the first meeting. He was coming

1567
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:06,639
Speaker 1: back from injury. Probably shouldn't even suited up. Only saw

1568
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 1: five snaps, no catches. The Saints are tough matchup on paper.

1569
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:12,800
Speaker 1: They've allowed an average of thirty nine yards per game

1570
01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 1: to tight ends over the last five weeks. That's not great,

1571
01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:18,679
Speaker 1: but when targeted seven or more times against the Saints,

1572
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 1: tight ends have averaged the healthy fifty five yards per game.

1573
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:23,800
Speaker 1: That's good news for Gronk, who has seen at least

1574
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 1: eight targets in four straight And lastly, Tom Brady, what

1575
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:28,680
Speaker 1: can you say about him other than he gets an

1576
01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 1: A seventy five yards for passing touchdowns on the first meeting.

1577
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:35,599
Speaker 1: Guy now probably gonna do it again, probably breaking news.

1578
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 1: He's been good the Monday Night game. Well, the one

1579
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,960
Speaker 1: of the Monday Night games now is Vikings taking on

1580
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 1: the Bears. Bears riddled with COVID and regular injuries as well.

1581
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:48,559
Speaker 1: Notable defenders who will be missing for the Bears are

1582
01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 1: expected to be missing Eddie Jackson, Eddie Goldman, already, Burns

1583
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 1: have all got COVID. Uh Ro Kwan Smith's got a hamstring.

1584
01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 1: He may not go in this game. They were already

1585
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:01,639
Speaker 1: without Kali mac who was on I R and Danny

1586
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,880
Speaker 1: Trevathan who was on I R. This is a a

1587
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:08,759
Speaker 1: ravage defense and so there's great opportunities for the Vikings

1588
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:12,559
Speaker 1: offense in this one. Justin Jefferson's an absolute lock. And

1589
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:14,720
Speaker 1: not that you need to me to really even expand

1590
01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 1: on that, but let me mention the two full games

1591
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:21,760
Speaker 1: without Adam Feeling, he seemed twenty nine targets. So obviously

1592
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 1: they continue to throw to Justin Jefferson and they will

1593
01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:27,720
Speaker 1: do so here as well. He's gonna get shadowed by

1594
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:30,080
Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson for the whole game. But they did that

1595
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 1: against Davante Adams last week, and they Packers found ways

1596
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:35,679
Speaker 1: to get Adams on other players moving into the slot

1597
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:37,959
Speaker 1: and some other things. Vikings will do that with Jefferson

1598
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 1: here too, UM K j Osborne and obviously for Jefferson

1599
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:43,600
Speaker 1: kJ Osbourne, I've I've bumped up to a B on

1600
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 1: all of these defensive injuries. He would have gone up

1601
01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:49,600
Speaker 1: against already Burns, which was already a positive matchup, but

1602
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 1: this means they will probably have to go to our

1603
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 1: favorite whipping boy kindle fil door that's right back on

1604
01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:59,519
Speaker 1: the field and if it's not filled or might be

1605
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:02,439
Speaker 1: Xavier Profit although he may not go either, he's questionable

1606
01:25:02,479 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 1: for this game. A K. J Osborne I've got as

1607
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 1: a B grade right now. Kirk Cousins feels incredibly safe here.

1608
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:12,040
Speaker 1: Multiple touchdowns in six straight games. I've already told I

1609
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 1: like Jefferson, I like Osborne, actually like Tyler Conklin too.

1610
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, I'm gonna give him a B only because

1611
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:21,679
Speaker 1: I think the running game is gonna be a big

1612
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:25,599
Speaker 1: factor here as well. Tyler Conklin startable. Bears have only

1613
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:27,680
Speaker 1: a lot of four tight end touchdowns all season, but

1614
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:30,280
Speaker 1: they were just picked apart by Green Bay's backup tight

1615
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:33,719
Speaker 1: ends for seven receptions and ninety yards, and they've actually

1616
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 1: given up three tight end scores in their last four games.

1617
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 1: Constlin probably gets a few extra looks here. With theelan

1618
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 1: remaining out of this game, I believe he'll be out

1619
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 1: of this game. So we'll give Tyler Conklin a C

1620
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:46,759
Speaker 1: grade in this one. And again, all those missing parts

1621
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:50,559
Speaker 1: could be a huge part for the Vikings and Dalvin Cookson. Obviously,

1622
01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:54,120
Speaker 1: this might have been a B grade in a trickier

1623
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 1: matchup without all of these starters gone. So Cook averages

1624
01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:00,160
Speaker 1: only eighty two combo yards and his only score or

1625
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:02,639
Speaker 1: twice in five career meetings against the Bears, But who

1626
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:05,639
Speaker 1: cares that all bets are off the only the only

1627
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:09,040
Speaker 1: really knock on Dalvin cook wasn't able to catch while

1628
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 1: he was wearing that harness for his shoulder last week.

1629
01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 1: May not be able to catch much in this game.

1630
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:17,599
Speaker 1: Still a grade for Dalvin cook Let's go over to

1631
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:23,080
Speaker 1: the other side for Chicago. David Montgomery missed some practice

1632
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 1: with regular non COVID illness, but came back on Friday.

1633
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:28,280
Speaker 1: We expect him to be able to go in this one.

1634
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 1: The Vikings defense finally healthy, but they were healthy last week,

1635
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:33,960
Speaker 1: and Nagy Harris gouged him for five yards per carry

1636
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:36,720
Speaker 1: and two scores, So I still like Montgomery here. In

1637
01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 1: three career games against the Vikings, he averages twenty five

1638
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:44,519
Speaker 1: rushes for one four yards and a score per game.

1639
01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:46,679
Speaker 1: If you tell me David mcgomery is gonna get twenty

1640
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:50,600
Speaker 1: five carries, I'm definitely in. I only have a B

1641
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:53,439
Speaker 1: grade on him here because of the prospects potentially of

1642
01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:56,360
Speaker 1: the of the Vikings getting out ahead against this injury

1643
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 1: ravage defense, and maybe the running game gets phased out,

1644
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 1: and I worry a little bit about Fields eating into

1645
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 1: some of his rushing output. Speaking of Justin Fields, he

1646
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 1: was might take a chance on me quarterback, So obviously

1647
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 1: I like him. If Allen Robinson comes back in time

1648
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:12,479
Speaker 1: to play, I like him a lot in this matchup

1649
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:15,920
Speaker 1: against the Vikings cornerbacks. As I also mentioned earlier in

1650
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:18,479
Speaker 1: this show, he's got positive matchups at every stop but

1651
01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:22,719
Speaker 1: shod Brilan, Mackenzie, Alexander or even Patrick Peterson. No Vikings

1652
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 1: quarterback ranking higher than one coverage by Pro Football Focus.

1653
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:29,360
Speaker 1: If Robinson's out, you could dart through at Chachem Grant,

1654
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:33,439
Speaker 1: what great would you get? Fields? I have a B

1655
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 1: grade at Justin Fields. Thank you for allowing me to

1656
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 1: clarify that I have a B grade on Allen Robinson

1657
01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:40,160
Speaker 1: if he goes a C grade and Jachem Grant. If

1658
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 1: Robinson doesn't go, Darnell Mooney gets a B grade. Vikings

1659
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:46,000
Speaker 1: have allowed the most yards to receivers two hundred three

1660
01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:48,680
Speaker 1: per game, and the last seven opponents have all had

1661
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:52,280
Speaker 1: at least one receiver hit eighties six yards. Mooney would

1662
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:54,640
Speaker 1: be that guy. Minnesota has also allowed to receiver to

1663
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:57,479
Speaker 1: score in seven of their last I'm shocked that he's

1664
01:27:57,479 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: a B. He's a B grade. You think you should

1665
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:04,400
