In our twenty seven year 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:34.080 history of this show, we have never had less concrete 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:38.680 information with which to base our analysis upon on one 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.360 of the more important weeks of it all. It is 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.879 is the first week of the playoffs. Never there been 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:46.760 a better week to have a first round by than 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:52.159 this week. It's basically an if then episode of Fantasy 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.600 Football Weekly for your coders out there. If we will 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.040 be you're gonna be hearing a lot of if this 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.920 guy plays, if this quarterback is in, then this, If 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:06.639 this defense isn't ravaged by COVID, then this. So brace 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.280 for a lot of that. We're gonna try to get 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.960 through all the games, including the games that have now 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:15.600 moved to Monday and Tuesday night.

You're going to 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.240 need to make some tough calls about Monday and Tuesday 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.600 players whose status you don't know that you're hoping will 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.520 clear the COVID protocols, but you're not gonna know. And 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:37.319 mostly the answers I'm gonna be giving people are Start. Guys, 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.720 you know we're gonna play. Start all your Chiefs and Chargers, 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:46.320 Go Start Travis Kelsey. Uh, we're gonna go through all 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.160 the matchups. Of course, like always, no by weeks. This 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.400 week three tough questions like we usually do. Let's begin 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.600 with the Texans taking on the Jaguars my coast. I 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.440 should mention Matt Harrison at Explosive out Put on Twitter, 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.840 Brian Johnson at bat t x J on Twitter as well. Hi, guys, 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:05.920 well this one will be a quick one. Uh, I 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.200 bet it with Ars, especially in the playoffs, where I've 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.519 asked you guys, don't bore our listeners with players who 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:16.040 are not on any playoff rosters. I don't want to 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.440 hear about Rex Burkhead this week. Well, since there's a 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.320 lot of COVID people in uh in the protocol this week, 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.680 you might need a few Texans and a few Jaguars. 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.720 So let's talk about the guys that you might need. 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.679 Brandon Cooks is the obvious one. He gets a B 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.960 grade here with Davis Mills back under the helm, Cooks 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.359 was targeted copiously last week eleven targets eight for one 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.560 oh one last week against Seattle. In his first meeting 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.359 against the Jags, Cooks went for a hundred and thirty 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:44.600 two yards on five catches. Speaking of Davis Mills, hold 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:48.960 on a minute, because the collective group that was here 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:53.280 last week hammered take a chance on me, including Brian Johnson, 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.560 who went three for three with Davis Mills. Take a 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:01.160 chance on Penny Rashide Penny, which was a huge hit. 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:06.640 And your third guy, do you remember Jalen Guyton, Yeah, Jalen, 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.960 but that became too easy and I threw out Josh 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.120 Palmer as a bonus. So I'll take three and a half. 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:14.480 You can have the three and a half. The Hooper 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:18.280 Scooper was a big hit last week. All feel free 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.320 to continue the Scott Fish. We gotta throw out the 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:22.760 Craig Reynolds. It wasn't take on, but I was like, 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.120 I've never heard of the guy before, but did not 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.359 actually technically use him is just take a chance, I 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.680 mean running back. Another guy that Scott Fish has mentioned 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.080 a few times is Nico Collins, who just recorded his 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.480 career best day last week against Seattle. Uh. The intriguing 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.080 thing was ten targets he saw from Davis Mills and 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.680 Collins gets to draw the worst of the Jags corners. 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.680 That's Tyson Campbell, who's allowing a passer rating of one 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.920 oh five in his coverage. No playoff team is starting 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.440 David Johnson. Both quarterbacks in this game, Davis Mills and 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.880 Trevor Lawrence around the bench. So now onto the Jags 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.720 you can start. Marvin Jones is the wide receiver you'd 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.320 want to play if you needed a Jaguar. He only 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.600 gets a seed. Bright side is the Texans have allowed 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.280 the eighth most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers on 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.640 the season. You're not dipping down to Lavisca Chenalta, Lakwan 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:13.640 Treadwell territory here and James Robinson he gets a B plus. 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.000 I think he's a good day here. That was not 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:21.400 even subtle that he is a B grade. Oh whatever, 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.560 you if you believe some of the reports, there was 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.159 a bit of a schism between Robinson and urban Meyer, 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.479 and he was limited in Wednesday's practice, but suddenly he's 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:34.400 feeling a lot better on Thursday. The Texans are allowing 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.120 the most rushing yards per game to opposing backs, the 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.719 third most rushing touchdowns, and four point nine yards per carry. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.400 They're giving up a first down on basically every two runs. 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.320 So you can start James rob Robinson with some confidence. 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.760 Let's I I hope that they pound James Robinson and 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.400 it turns out that the the guy that was limiting 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.080 his reps was not Darryl Bubble, because it could be 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.960 urban Meyer wasn't already pounding people with his foot, and 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:02.560 that's why he's not there anymore. Nicely, that's it. That's it. Okay, 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.680 let's move on to our next matchup, Cowboys taking on 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:09.480 the Giants. Brian for the Cowboys, this running game is erect. 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.200 We don't know for sure if Tony Pollard is going 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.560 to try to play through the torn plant or fascia 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.320 in his foot. Ezekiel Elliott has been bad and they 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.240 actually gave more touches to Corey Clement last week. What 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.400 do you do with this running game? Yeah, you pretty 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.159 much just just start Zeke and I'll mention quickly the 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.320 Giants and Cowboys did play in Week five. Will reference 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.200 that game a couple of times here, but I'm gonna 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.640 give Zeke a b. He had a hundred ten yards 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.520 and a touchdown rushing, caught two passes and a receiving 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.560 touchdown in the first meeting. Will likely be without left 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.520 tackle Tyron Smith in this game, though. That said, the 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.920 Giants could be without Leonard Williams defensive end, which would 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.480 be a big loss. But even when at full health, 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.840 New York has allowed one plus rushing yards per game 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.600 to the opposition. But like you said, you want to 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:58.120 keep an eye on Tony Pollard. That'll that'll dim Zeke's 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.880 prospects a little bit. But I'm still give as he 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:02.479 could be here in a game that should be a 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.440 positive game script for the running backs. For the Cowboys side, 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.360 Ceedee Lamb, I very positive outlook for him. He gets 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.840 an a. New York has been brutal against wide receivers lately, 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.520 allowing the fourth most yards the position over the past 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.800 two games. Lamb had eighty four yards in a touchdown 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.839 in the first meeting, and that's probably a solid floor 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.040 projection for him in this one. So in a for 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.840 cd uh, not an A for Mark Cooper, but I'm 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:26.520 gonna give him a B. He also did well in 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.720 the first meeting. He had sixty yards in a touchdown 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.640 in the Week five game. He has also scored in 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.760 his two previous games against the Giants, so he has 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:35.960 very good past performance against New York. So would be 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.840 for Cooper and a CEE for Michael Gallup. He did 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:40.720 not play in the Week five game. He was injured then. 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:44.000 But it's a good matchup and I'm just worried that 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:45.880 the script could fall out of favor for the wide 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:47.880 receivers or Dallas, but they all have potential here. But 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.240 just to see for Gallop, Gallops look good. By the 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.760 way he's gonna be. I think he's gonna get paid 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:55.560 this office for sure. Where do we want him to 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.560 end up? Kansas City would be a nice spot. Yeah, 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.360 you know, I haven't thought that far, but I don't 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.400 want him to be one of the other five guys 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.240 in that rotation. Umari Cooper, just as a side note, 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.240 looked as good as he's looked on the field since 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.840 before he had the COVID and before that when he 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.800 had the hamstring, so he had to go back almost 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.640 two months. He looked downright, spry, and I'm optimistic about 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.560 a big game for Marie Cooper here. Yeah, it could 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.320 be a big game for Dalton Schultz. He had six 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.600 catches for seventy nine yards in the first meeting between 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.160 the Giants and Cowboys. And it's a decent matchup for 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.360 tight ends. Uh. The Giants are alloting more than five 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.480 catches and fifty yards per game to the position, so 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.920 a double digit PPR floor is in place for Schultz 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.840 and uh Dak Prescott and obvious a when all three 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.400 wide receivers in the in the tight end gets starting grades. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.240 And uh, it's worth mentioning he had three plus yards 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.080 and three touchdowns in the first game of the season 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.080 between these two over to the Giant side. Not a 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.080 whole lot to talk about other than season ticket holders 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:54.520 supposedly getting a free medium soda at this game. I 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.400 don't know. I read this on Twitter. It's fan appreciation days. 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.760 If you spend you spent fifty grand on Worth Giants tickets, 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.520 you get a free You don't even get a large Well, no, 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.320 I think they're not allowed to sell large sodas in 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.200 New York City. That makes sense, you know what I mean? 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:12.080 But yeah, it's not. But over se Kwon Barkley, he 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.400 gets to see Dallas has held the posing teams who 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.880 under sixty five rushing yards in four of the last 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.480 five games, and their defensive line. Dallas has has a 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:24.120 significant advantage over the Giants offensive line. And this one 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.080 is a very soft to see for Barkley, who got 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.120 hurt in the first meeting only atune as. Yeah, just 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.760 to see. Uh, just a bench, double bench for a 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:37.120 sterling Shepherd and Kenny. That's just a bench, not a 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:41.439 double bench. Can't have you never said you can't give 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:45.160 a bench plus No, I know you can't because that 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.280 gets you somewhere out of between bench and a C grade. 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.680 There's no bench plus. Well, the double bench is fine 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.959 because you can't extra bench. Somebody. I like how you're 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.160 fine with the harpoon though what the don't even know 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.600 what the harpoon means, So you're probably got the harpoon. 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:00.360 Pass me, we got some harpoon, he used later in 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:04.120 the show. But benching Golladay and Shepherd, despite it being 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.360 a positive matchup on paper, Uh, we'll get to the 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.640 quarterback situation in a second for the Giants. But Shephard 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.280 and Gala Day combined for twelve Let's not get to 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.800 the quarterback situation. It will only take a second when 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.840 we do. But Shepherd Golliday combined for twelve targets last week, 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.480 just four catches for forty two scoreless yards. So they're 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.840 on the bench. So is whoever the quarterback is Mike Glennon, 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.080 it could be Daniel Jones. Maybe either way you're benching then, 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.840 But I will give Evan and Groom a see opposing 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.760 tight ends or averaging nearly five catches sixty yards per 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.040 game against Dallas. Ingram had four catches for fifty five 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.920 yards in the first meeting, so double digit PPR points 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.280 is possible. Listen, this is the ninth straight positive matchup 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.600 on paper for Evan Ingram and he never comes through 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:51.640 the tight end. Waste Land, you take ten points. He's 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.720 not giving you ten points because he never does. Alright, 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.920 Still giving a Patriots take on the Colts, and there's 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.000 only a couple of guys to talk about. Damien Harris 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.120 gets a b great exp acted to be recovered from 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.920 his hamstring injury for this game. Colts are good run defense, 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.959 but Harris read it. Good run defense is this year, 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.800 including Buffalo before last week's by Indians, allowing the ninth 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:14.160 fewest rushing yards eighth fewest rushing touchdowns to opposing backs. 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:18.000 And Harris again uber hot before the injury, scoring eight 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.960 times in his last eight games, a span over which 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.640 he was averaging a whopping five yards per carry. So 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.839 even in a tough matchup, Harris comes in with a 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.360 B grade. We're gonna keep reminder Stevenson on the bench. 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.880 He when Harris gets his the full workload that he gets, 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.760 there's not enough left for Stevenson. And this is a 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.240 trickier matchup than most. And the only other guy with 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.440 the starting great is Mac Jones. He's top two hundred 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.360 thirty yards once, just once in his last six games, 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.280 and over the last month, the Colts have allowed the 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.199 league's fewest passing yards just one seventy seven per game, 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.920 despite facing far better quarterbacks Josh Allen and Tom Brady. 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.000 And he's one of the league's worst deep passers by 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.000 the way, where yards and touchdowns come. You know what, 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:56.439 I'm putting him on the bench, forget it. I've just 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.360 talked to myself, Auto mac Jones, and all the receivers 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.480 are on the bench too. If you've got the playoffs, 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:04.040 you don't need Jacobe Myers, Nelson, Aguilar, Kendrick Born against 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.600 a team that's given up the fewest receptions yards and 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.959 second fewest touchdowns to opposing wide receivers, they're on the bench. 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:14.120 Let's go to Indianapolis side. Jonathan Taylor's an obvious a 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:16.960 and I should mention here, not that you need any 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.160 extrapolation on this, but the Patriots are actually shockingly easy 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.800 to run upon, and they're brutally tough to pass on. 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:27.080 They're allowing one hundred fifty four total yards per game 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.320 to opposing running backs, that's fourth most, and through the air, 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.559 they're giving up the fourth most receiving yards. And Taylor 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.120 can catch a literally, you know, he chips in a 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.080 couple of catches every game. Sure, uh Niahim Hines is 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.240 not an option really in this game, and I don't 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.760 think you're gonna need him here. The only other player 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.160 I've got with the starting grade is Michael Pittman, and 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.520 he's the only Colts I think, the only other cold 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.240 outside of Taylor you'd ever consider starting in the playoffs, 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.920 but it is a bad matchup. Nobody has shut down 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:57.600 wide receivers more consistently than New England over the last 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:03.120 five weeks. Entire receiving positions are averaging seventy eight yards 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.960 per game over the last five against New England. So 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.520 if all of the Indian receivers are gonna get seventy 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:17.240 eight yards, Pittman gets half. His one on one matchup 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:22.000 is brutally tough against emerging star cornerback J. C. Jackson. 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.480 He has a passer rating against him in his coverage 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.280 of thirty nine. That's not that's not good. Carson Wentz 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.000 is on the bench for the reasons I think you've 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.400 already already heard as we talked about the wide receivers 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.240 here and you ken pick spots to start Wentz, this 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:40.600 is definitely not one of them. Let's take a break 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.760 when we come back, take a chance on me. Nine 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:47.160 players not normally in your starting lineup. It's a weird 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.640 week and there's gonna be a bunch of different angles 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.439 to start guys you would not normally start. We're gonna 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.360 do our best to give you players we think are 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:59.480 going to go with positive matchups, but it really who knows. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.160 I got a nice we're throwing darks. I got a 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.840 nice weird angle coming up. You do, all right, Willie 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.400 will stay tuned Fantasy Football Weekly to hear Brian's weird angle. 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.840 Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. A segment we like, he'll 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:38.559 take a chance on me. Nine players who may or 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.000 may not contract COVID between now and when you try 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:45.200 to start them. True at the time of this, I 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:49.000 got one that's not gonna get it. I'm well, he 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:52.760 just came off the list. He's quarantine in a box. Well, Dolf. 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.400 He just came off the list because he had it 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:59.480 and recovered from it. Then, yes, probably saying now he 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.040 just came up off the list because he was like 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.840 a close contact and anyway, I don't know, we'll find 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.480 out soon. All right, Let's go to the quarterback position, Matt. 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.400 I got Jimmy G again. Third week in that's the 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.000 third week probably for just for you. Yeah, Jimmy G 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.520 against the Seahawks in week thirteen and two, that's when 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.679 I used him. Fish used him last week against the 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.600 Bengals to and two. We're going back to the well 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.880 against the Falcons, who have faced maybe the easiest slate 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.880 of quarterbacks I've ever seen this year. The notable names 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:33.640 they faced, like Heineke Dimes, Zack Wilson, Simeon, Trevor Lawrence, 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.440 and the Panthers awful trio of quarterbacks twice. Yeah. Still, 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.240 they've allowed the third most passing scores in the league 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.960 at two touchdowns per game, and have allowed the sixth 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.640 most completion So Jimmy g will get two scores in 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.040 this one. All right, Brian, you take a chance at me, quarterback. 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.560 I'm going to a toungo viola at home against the Jets. 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.400 Miami won't have Jalen Waddle in this game. That well, 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.080 not officially outs, not literally enough in the week that 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.640 it's there's a chance he comes back for this. I 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.600 think the odds already won't play, but hopefully he does. 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.760 But even if he doesn't, I don't care. I like 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:06.720 too against the Jets, And how can you not when 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.320 the Jets have allowed these sixth most passing yards per 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.640 game at two fifty four per and outside of Taysom 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:16.040 Hill last week, New York has surrendered multiple passing touchdowns 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.840 and eight straight games that includes the two touchdowns and 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.480 two d seventy three yards they allowed to tah when 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.000 these teams were submitting week eleven, and the Jets are 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.680 already going to be without starting cornerback Justin Hardy. They 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.480 could be without the other starting cornerback, Michael Carter the 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:35.440 second so to a Tonga viola. Bear in mind, I'm 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:40.880 an emotionally damaged Vikings fan. I'm pretty I'm as as 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.360 are all Viking fans this season, aren't we all? Uh? 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.640 And that's part of what's driving me to recommend Justin 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.960 Fields on what it's currently Monday night. Well, hopefully that 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.320 will hold. That will hold the all the Bears problems 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.440 with COVID, Maybe they move that to Tuesday as well. 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:00.000 Rutching yards can mitigate a bad passing game and feel 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.280 just finally being allowed to run the ball. Over his 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:06.320 last three full games, he's averaged seventy four rushing yards. 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.640 That puts him You're you're basically starting running backs rushing 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.760 numbers out of Justin Fields, and the Vikings have faced 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:17.000 exactly two mobile quarterbacks. Kyler Murray ran for a touchdown, 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:20.360 Lamar Jackson ran for a hundred twenty yards. Fields will 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.440 also help through the air, because the Vikings cornerbacks are dreadful. 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:28.040 No Viking cornerback ranks higher than one in coverage by 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.240 Pro Football Focus. Darnell Mooney can beat the Vikings deep. 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.640 Alan Robinson, if he's able to go, can win on 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.800 routes and hands. Jachim Grant has turned into a factor. 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.240 There's a lot of ways. Justin Fields can get helped 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.480 through the air as well. I like him by ground, 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.840 sea and air. Let's go to the I'm looking forward 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.600 to the sea part. Let's go to the running back position. Matt, 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:52.000 I got somebody who's from Seattle. Oh nice, Maybe we 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:55.160 just need to uh let Rashad Penny cook in a 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.920 peacock to Brian against last Sound right there if you're 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.480 live from Pugech sound so. In the last three years, 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.639 Rashad Penny has had ten rushing attempts or more in 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.879 five total games. He scored a touchdown in four of 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.040 those five games, including two last week in a total 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.760 of hundred and thirty seven yards. And Alex Collins was 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.240 just put on the COVID list. Now this game is 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.320 now Tuesday, but right now it's just Penny and DJ 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.960 Dallas left on the roster. He's facing a Rams team 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:26.280 that is missing a lot of people. According to COVID, 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.680 and the Rams have allowed a touchdown to six running 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:31.679 backs who have led their team in touches over the 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.280 last seven weeks, so a touchdown is basically guaranteed for 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.800 Rashad Penny here. All right, you know I mocked Penny 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:39.639 last week. I can't do it now, so you know 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:41.760 you guys shut me up on that. Brian, you take 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:43.879 a chance at me running back? All right, weird COVID 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.320 angle time. I'm going. I'm going back to the Dolphins. 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.600 And no, not Miles Gascon. That's too easy. I'm going 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:52.240 Salven Akhmed, the backup running back. Both have been activated 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.680 as never easy, by the way, and more easier. That's 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:58.520 part of the play here, like he just disappears at times. 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:00.639 It gets benched or is this play is awful? So 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.560 and and the speaking of awful, the Jets against running backs, 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.760 they're allowing a hundred nearly a hundred eighty combo yards 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.280 and two touchdowns per game, which is stunning. They're actually 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.800 the worst team against any position out of every defense 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.119 against any position, I believe, by a pretty large margin. 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.840 Astronomical numbers. So Salvin Akhmed, there's gonna be enough to 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:22.520 go around for him and this one again, and if 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.560 Gascon disappears, you could have a top five running back 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.719 on your hands. And we know, well, even if Gaskin 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.240 doesn't disappear, just out of if you can get to 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:33.679 eight touches on Salvin Akhmed, maybe that's enough. He'll get 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.400 double digit touches. I just want to see Jared Doakes 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.159 activated from the practice squall that they I forgot that 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:42.159 Duke Johnson to look, there's a long laundry list of 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:44.680 running backs, but I went with Akamed, So let's go Salvin. 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:48.760 Donte Foreman is your leader among running backs for Tennessee, 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:50.920 and he's the latest to go up against the Steelers. 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:54.600 This is another really struggling run defense. You saw Dalvin 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:56.920 Cook roll up a monster game just in the first 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.560 half against the Steelers last week. They're allowing the fourth 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:02.480 most sushing yards and a league worse four point nine 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:06.320 yards per carry. Two opposing backs and the starters over 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:10.240 the last five weeks have all crushed the Steelers. DeAndre Swift, 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.960 Austin Neckler, Joe Mixon, Devanta Freeman, and Dalvin Cook. And granted, 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:16.280 dot Freeman is not nearly as good as those guys 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.520 in general, but they averaged a hundred forties six total 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.280 yards and two touchdowns. So if even if he's half 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.280 as good as those guys, Dot de Foreman sitting on 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.400 potentially in eighty yard game, seventy five yard game and 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:32.439 a touchdown, Matt, let's go to the wide receiver slash 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:36.600 tight end position now as of this recording, I'm taking 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:40.440 David in Joeku because as of now the Browns would 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.639 be missing tight end Austin Hooper and Stephen Carlson on 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:47.159 the COVID list, Harrison Bryant is questionable with an ankle injury. 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.640 Plus Jarvis Landry is on the COVID list, and Cream 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:53.040 Hunt is out. The old line is a mess. And 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:55.760 right now, no Baker Mayfield, no case Keenum, it's Nick 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:59.200 Mullins starting. And a great stat from Kent wy Rock 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:03.359 in games which Nick Mullins had at least of the snaps, 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:06.480 so these are his days. In San Francisco, George Kittle's 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:10.920 averages were ten targets, six and a half receptions, nine yards, 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.000 and half a score per game. All of those numbers 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.960 are way better than Kittle's career averages, so Mullins likes 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:18.879 to target the tight end and David and Joke Wu 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:20.600 has the talent. We saw him go for a hundred 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:22.280 and forty nine and one in a game against the 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.200 Chargers this year. We all know the opportunity is here 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:27.280 and this now he gets the one of the worst 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:29.840 tight end defenses in the league. The Raiders are bottom 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:32.360 five and receptions, yards and touchdowns allowed to the tight 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:34.639 end position, and they have allowed a touchdown to a 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:39.240 tight end nine times in their last nine games. Brian, 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:43.040 you'na take a chance and we're running back white receiver. Sorry, 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:48.159 I'm going Buffalo's Gabriel Davis against the Panthers. Now, the 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:51.040 Panthers's out Manny Sanders is out and the Panthers on 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:55.160 a great matchup for why but Davis will not draw 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:57.320 step on Gilmore. That will probably go to Stefon Diggs. 0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.400
