Speaker 1: Fantasy Putball Weekly on Paul charge In. My co host

6
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: today as they have been the last couple of weeks,

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: Scott Fish and Brian Johnson. Hello, gentlemen. The a team

8
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: that's so, that's what we're gonna call it while Matt's

9
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: not here, which is probably the best way to handle that.

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: We've got plenty to get to. This is for some

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: people formally the playoffs. For other people, this is the

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: week you have to win to get into the playoffs,

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: which really makes it a playoff game for you, remember

14
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: or not, even if you're not in the playoffs, what else?

15
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: What better things do you have to do other than

16
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: listen to this show and it's enjoy Yes, well, we hope.

17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: So we will get to all the usual stuff that

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: we do, including take a chance on me. We will

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: do the three tough questions. No premature speculation at this

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: late stage of the season, we're retiring that as we

21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: have more games to get to in our allotted time. Um,

22
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: but we will also break down all of the matchups,

23
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: including the New Orleans Saints taking on the Atlanta Falcons. Brian,

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: I've got to Taysom Hill take for you, which is

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: he ain't finishing the game if he plays as badly

26
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: this week as he did last week, specifically as a passer.

27
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: I think they bring in Jamis Winston and they platoon

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: Hill like they did with Drew Brees. Fantasy footballers would

29
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: like to see that unless you have Taysom Hill on roster.

30
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: Otherwise he's the most hated man in the the game. Basically. Uh,

31
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: these teams actually played two weeks ago in Week eleven,

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 1: so we'll certainly reference that game. That was Taysom Hill's

33
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: first started quarterback. He did alright, passing two three yards

34
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: eighteen of twenty three. That was just icing on the

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: though he had two rushing touchdowns. He's basically got to

36
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: do that again to remain relevant. And like you said,

37
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: if he's not running the ball, and he's not can

38
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: get it done with his arms. So I'll give him

39
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: a CEE with there's a upside and then there's bench downside.

40
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm kind of here there, So you know I

41
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: picked your poison with Haysom Hill. He probably is poison,

42
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: but just a CEE for him. Over to his pastcast

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: pass catchers, Michael Thomas, Gonna give him a B. He

44
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: had nine catches for a hundred and four in the

45
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: first meeting, yet a fifty two target share in that game.

46
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: That's absolutely insane. Has now topped a hundred yards and

47
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: five of his last eight games against the Falcons. But again,

48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: tough to trust Taysom Hill. His passing was just so

49
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: bad last week. But Atlanta's secondary allowing two yards per

50
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: game to wide receivers, that second most in the league.

51
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: So you're definitely starting Thomas with a B. And you

52
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: know what I'm I think you give Emmanuel Sanders a

53
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: see here. This is more of a gut feeling. It's

54
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: to see her at bench. He had four for sixty

55
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: six and that first meeting double digit PPR points. Just

56
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: mentioned the heavy yardage surrender to wide receivers if Winston comes,

57
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: and that certainly bill as well. For Sanders, I'm gonna

58
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: of standards the sea, but he's certainly not a must start. Uh.

59
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: Alvin Camara might not be a must start either. I

60
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: don't think he is. I'm going to give him a

61
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: B real quick, I should say. Jared Cook on the bench.

62
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: One catch in the first meeting, one of the three

63
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: catches he's had over his last four games. He he's

64
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: dust at this point. But back to Kamara B. But

65
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: it's borderline C territory with Hill at quarterback. We're gonna

66
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: get into the brutal splits with Kamara and Hill later

67
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: in the show. I'm sure. The first meeting again was

68
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: Hill's first start. Kamar had thirteen carries for forty five

69
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown, did not catch a pass, had

70
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: just one target, and the Falcons are tough against the run.

71
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: They've allowed just four rushing touchdowns to the running backs

72
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: this here. No back has topped ninety rushing yards and

73
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: since Week six, opposing backs are action just two point

74
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: five catches and seventeen and a half receiving yards against

75
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: Atlanta with no receiving about that, that's Morris, that's when

76
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: he took over. Since then, their run defense has been

77
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: on top of it. Ye, it's a it's a different

78
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: team right now. And lastly, for New Orleans, Octavius Murray

79
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: on the bench to have big numbers against Denver. But

80
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: you can't ask for a more positive game script than

81
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: when the opposing team doesn't have a quarterbacks run the

82
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: ball over and over Murray on the bench, over to

83
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: the Atlanta side. Todd Gurley will start with him, should play,

84
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 1: but it does not matter. I'm benching any starting running

85
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: back for Atlanta. The Saints allowing only three point five

86
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: yards per carried to opposing back, so they've only allowed

87
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: five total touchdowns to the position. Atlanta backs total fifty

88
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: two scoreless combo yards on fourteen touches in that week

89
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: eleven matchup, just one catch total to the position for Atlanta,

90
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: so they're all on the bench. Calvin Ridley never on

91
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: the bench, just to be though. He had five catches

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: for ninety yards in that first meeting, which is basically

93
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: a floor game for him. Before facing the quarterbackless Broncos,

94
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: the Saints were allowing one seven yards per game to

95
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: wide receivers, so safe b for Ridley with a upside,

96
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: and Julio Jones supposedly felt great in Friday's practice, so

97
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna towards him playing. He suffered the hamstring injury

98
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: he's suffering through right now. When these teams first met

99
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: in Week leven, he only had two catches for thirty

100
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: nine yards. Understandably, but more shockingly, Julio hasn't scored on

101
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: the Saints since the playoffs. Just three touchdowns in seventeen

102
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: career games against New Orleans and awful against the past

103
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: for a long time, a long long time until recently.

104
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: I just you know, the Julio thing is going to

105
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: win and lose games if you guess right on whether

106
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: or not Julio is going to finish the game. And

107
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: Julio can't tell you right now Julio is going to

108
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,239
Speaker 1: finish the game. You have to use your best judgment

109
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: if you have him on roster and the Guillotine League,

110
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: no danger. Yeah he's out, but in in seasonally it's

111
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: up to you but to see if he suits up.

112
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: But he might not finish the game. I'm not gonna

113
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: start hating her. Has had no catches in the first meeting,

114
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: so he's on the bench for me and Matt Ryan.

115
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: I'll give him a see if Julio plays, but I

116
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: think I might bench him if Julio sits two thirty

117
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: two yards, zero touchdowns, two interceptions in the first game.

118
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: The Saints have only had one passing touchdown over the

119
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: last four games, including that Falcons game. So soft bench

120
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: Julio Matt Ryan's not the same guy this year. I

121
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if we're gonna get done with the

122
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: season and they're gonna say, oh, by the way, we

123
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, we don't really mention it, but he's had

124
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: this injury all year long or something that he is

125
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: not the same guy. Rams take on the Cardinals, Scott,

126
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, for the Rams, trying to guess which running

127
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 1: back may have a good game is usually a fool's

128
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: erond do you have an angle on any of these

129
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: three guys. Nope. I think that Acres is gonna start

130
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: to get more and more work of this this season

131
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: progresses here at the end of the season anyway. But

132
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: I have Momll on the bench, only one runner his

133
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: top seventy five yards rushing on the Arizona Cardinals since

134
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: Week one and the best receiving day thirty one yards

135
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: on these Cardinals run defense since week one. I have

136
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: them all on the bench. The passing game, I hate

137
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: Jared goff Man. I can't. I can never tell when

138
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: he's going to be good or when he's gonna be bad,

139
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: very hard to know. You look home road, You're like,

140
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: you don't even know when it is. It's just random.

141
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: I think, Uh, Golf drop three hundred plus in three

142
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: straight before his dot against San Francisco last week. He

143
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: was also averaging nearly fifty attempts per game in those three.

144
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: I like that in this one with the Vegas highest

145
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: over under here, and these are the two fastest paced

146
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: offenses in the NFL, so I think that he could

147
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: have a ton of attempts here. So I am giving

148
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: him a C grade. I wouldn't be surprised if it's

149
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: a B grade. Uh. Woods and Cup, I'm giving both

150
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: B grades too as well. If you had to bet

151
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: on a start here, it's probably woulds the guy with

152
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: twenty seven targets in just the last two games. Uh.

153
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: He also has twenty carries for a hundred and fifteen

154
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: yards and two scores of the season, so he can

155
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: get it done there too. But he has eighty plus

156
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: yards in three the last four, cast five, cast five

157
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: or more catches in each of the last four. He's

158
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: the safe B grade. Cup is the boomer bust B grade.

159
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: Only one game under forty yards and almost always has

160
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: five catches. You have a safe four, but every once

161
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: in a while, once or twice a year, and once

162
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: or twice this year, he's gone over a hundred plus

163
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: in the score. So that's that's I'm going to look

164
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: forward to Beasley and Crowded both went over a hundred

165
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: and a score on the same Cardinals team, and they've

166
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: given up a lot of slot yards this year. So

167
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm giving a cup to b Reynolds. He's gonna CE

168
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: grade two. As I said, it's gonna be high temple.

169
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: I think. I think the run game is gonna be

170
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: all split up at the passing game. Reynolds forty plus

171
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: yards and six of his last seven. That's C grade worthy.

172
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: When you're getting three to four catches for d yards,

173
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 1: you can hope for more, but that's that's C grade

174
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: right there. On the other side, Murray has not really

175
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: been the same since his shoulder injury. Last week was

176
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: really really rough, and this week the Rams their number

177
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: the number one d against fantasy quarterbacks. This is a

178
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: very tough matchup for Kyler Murray. Yes, they've allowed the

179
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 1: sixth fewest yards and the fewest passing touchdowns six out

180
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: of the eleven teams they faced, so over half the

181
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: teams they faced failed to even record a passing touchdown

182
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: against the Rams. It's a tough spot, but it's Murray

183
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: and he does run, and I think that rushing gives

184
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: him a little bit more. He can get two hundred

185
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: plus yards. I'm still giving him the C grade, but

186
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: know that it's a really rough matchup. So if you

187
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: have a nice spot start, it might it might be

188
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: hoover you to go with someone over Murray. And you know,

189
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: for Murray, the schedule doesn't get a lot easier. So

190
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: they've get a surprisingly robust Giants defense on the road.

191
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: After this, they gotta go across coast. Then they go Philadelphia.

192
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: We just saw Philadelphia put Russell Wilson on a tough game.

193
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: Then they go San Francisco. That defense is rounding into shape.

194
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: And for the horrible leagues that play Week seventeen, he

195
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: goes back to the Rams again. So it is a

196
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: tough stretch for Kyler Murray, who powered teams into the playoffs. Yeah,

197
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: I don't know that he gets you through the playoffs. Yeah,

198
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: it's it's yeah, that's a really rough stretch. He might

199
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: be getting a lot of sea grades and just mostly

200
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: off his rushing end name. Yeah, Uh, DeAndre Hopkins. I'm

201
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: giving a B grade too. He has been a little

202
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: rough lately, Yes, he has. Outside of that Hail Mary,

203
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: and he's got a day with Jalen Ramsey perhaps so

204
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: is the number one d against wide receivers fewest yards

205
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: and fewest touchdowns to wide receivers. They go back Ramsey

206
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: and Hopkins from Yeah, if it wasn't if it was

207
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: anyone but Hopkins, he might get a C here. But

208
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: he gets a B grade because fifty five catches and

209
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: fifty yards is like his floor. Those are those are

210
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: the bad games. We're talking about five or fifty, So

211
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: anything better than that's probably B range. I have Kirk

212
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: put back on the bench. Uh, it's We've already mentioned.

213
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: It's a really, really tough matchup and uh he's been

214
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: a missing act lately, having only top fifty yards once

215
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: in the last five games. He hasn't scored in the

216
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: last four games either. Kenyan Drake C grade here. The

217
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: Rams are fifth best against fantasy running backs. They've allowed

218
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: a running back to rush for more than fifty yards, uh,

219
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: just once since Week six, and that was sixty five yards.

220
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: Not not a great game. No, uh, they've allowed a

221
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: few twenty five yard receiving days. Can catch the ball.

222
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna get that fifteen to seventeen touch volume. He's

223
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: what I like to call on this show, the volume.

224
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: See that's what that's that's what he gets. He gets

225
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: the volume. See here. The final game of this matchup

226
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: is the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears. I want

227
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: to start with the complicated situation of DeAndre Swift, who

228
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: cleared the concussion protocol but is now dealing with some

229
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: kind of illness I had at full health. If we

230
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: get to feel really much better about his illness status

231
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: by Sunday, I've got a B grade on him. Chicago

232
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: is seeing the fourth most rushing attempts and they've allowed

233
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: the ninth most rushing yards per game. The way you

234
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: beat Chicago is on the ground, not through the air.

235
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: And these teams met in Week one. As you may remember,

236
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: Swift had a bad game and then dropped the game

237
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: winning touchdown on a pass in the end. And Daryl

238
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: Bevil did say on Friday that DeAndre Swift, if he plays,

239
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: might have a smaller package of place to scary for

240
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: a fantasy start. It is because the reason I was

241
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: hoping to give him the B greatest because prior to

242
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: the concussion had worked his way up to a twenty

243
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: one touch game, which was the first time he had

244
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: really had a big share of the workload. So I

245
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: was excited for that. But I just don't know that

246
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: it comes altogether here. Plus add in Adrian Peterson saying

247
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: that he looked you know, he looked funny and he

248
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: wasn't thinking clearly midweek that that worries me a little

249
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: bit too. So we'll watch Swift. If Swift doesn't go,

250
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: or you need a dart throw, you could certainly try

251
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson here, who performed well with Swift out entirely

252
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,239
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. Well, I guess one week ago, but Thanksgiving.

253
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: Then let's go to the passing game. T J. Hockenson

254
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: gets a B grade. He's scored against Chicago in the

255
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 1: first meeting, and all season long, the Bears have been

256
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: tormented by tight ends, allowing the fifth most receptions, the

257
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: sixth most yards, and the second most touchdowns to tight ends.

258
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: Hockinson is a very good start. And I've got one

259
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: other starting grade with Kenny Golladay ruled out, and that's

260
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: Danny Amendola. Why he runs from the slot. He's going

261
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: to return from his hip injury in time to face

262
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: the busted screen door, Yes, buster screen. He's been awful.

263
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: He's allowed four touchdowns in the last five games. There's

264
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: a great opportunity for Danny Amondola. Slow receivers get it

265
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: done more than the outside receivers against the Bears, and

266
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: then the whole rest of the Detroit's passing game, including

267
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford around the bench. Yes, the Bears were dissected

268
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: by Aaron Rodgers last week, but on the whole they've

269
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: been very good. No quarterback is at three yards or

270
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: three touchdowns other than Rogers. Marvin Jones does nothing with

271
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: without Goliday. It's in Matthew Stafford. By Matthew Staffords thumb still,

272
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: he's still questionable the thumb injury because he's playing through it.

273
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: The thumb still isn't right. He's trying to play there.

274
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: There's a scenario where Stafford doesn't even finish this game.

275
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Chicago side. We've got

276
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: a couple of plays here of most note to fantasy

277
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: owners Allen Robinson got the rare Friday down grade and

278
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: injury status to questionable with a knee injury. That's a concern.

279
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: Guys who get downgraded on ride A ten two more

280
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: often be ruled out. So watch this one closely now.

281
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: If he goes, Robinson is a boom or bust play

282
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: in true bisk true brisk too true, brisky, Mitch to brick.

283
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: Why can't I see it? Mit Tbsky? Can I just

284
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: do this? I thought you were tried for a joke,

285
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: Mitch Troubinsky. I've said Sad Trombowsky so many times now

286
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't even know his real name in Mitch Trobinsky

287
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: starts good heavens, Allen Robinson has average ten targets, even

288
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: if it has resulted in just sixty yards per game.

289
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: The Lions are allowing one hundred nine four yards per

290
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: game to oceiver? Is that sound effect? Isn't it the

291
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: worst trombone solo ever? Ah? Anyway, um, what was I saying?

292
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: The Lions are allowing yard per game to opposing receivers,

293
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: and its opponent's top receivers top one hundred yards and

294
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: back to back games, so there's plenty of upside for

295
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson if true Whisky does what he normally doesn't,

296
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: just keep throwing the bald Robinson, which is what I

297
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: would do if I were Mitr Whisky and I wanted

298
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: to try to save my job. Agreed. Next, I've got

299
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: a nice sleeper play for you in Darnell Mooney. The

300
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: Lions are expected to be without starting cornerback Jeff Okuda,

301
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: and that means Desmond true Font is going to see

302
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: extended time and Mooney predominantly plays on Desmond trud front

303
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: side of the field. Pro Football Focus ranks true Font

304
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: as cornerback one twenty one. There's only thirty two teams

305
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL, so if you're cornerback one one, you're

306
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: not very good. Get this. Every single pass that's been

307
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: thrown in true fronts coverage since Week eight has been

308
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: a completion. So I like Darnell Mooney in this game.

309
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: He's questionable too with the knee, but they said they

310
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: expect him to go, so continue with the passing game.

311
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham's on the bench. He's losing too much time

312
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: to Cole Kemmet Commet, and he is a touchdown dependent

313
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: player who has scored one time in his last seven games.

314
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: The only other player you care about is David Montgomery,

315
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: who's got a B grade in this game. The Lions

316
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: allow the fourth most rushing yards, the third most receiving

317
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: yards to running backs, a total of one sixty six

318
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: yards per game, and Montgomery should get most of that

319
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: one sixty six. There's nobody else to get a catch

320
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: a pass or run the ball there mcnaate Matteneggie didn't

321
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: use Montgomery nearly enough last week, despite a good game

322
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: and a long run against the Bears, or sorry against

323
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: the Packers because the Bears are down by a grillion

324
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: points all time garbage time by David Montgomery last week.

325
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: Just that long run was not garbage time. And you

326
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: think I was stuck with him, but he didn't. But

327
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: Detroit's not gonna get way out in front in this game.

328
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: So Montgomery is a very safe play and he gets

329
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: a B grade. Garbage time by Mark keys Brown on

330
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: Thursday to Yeah, how about that? It was? Oh yeah,

331
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: it changed a lot of outcomes, didn't it? On Wednesday? Absolutely? Wednesday? Sorry, yeah,

332
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: no problem. How do we come back nine players not

333
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: normally in your starting lineup? We call it take a

334
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: chance on me. We'll tell you who those players are

335
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: that you can start this week for a variety of reasons.

336
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: Also will continue breaking down all of the matchups. If

337
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: you're looking for all my player rankings, go to Guillotine

338
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: leagues dot com. More fantasy football coming up in just

339
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: a moment. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly Ball Arch and

340
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you just hate the song?

341
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: I love it so I want more of it, every

342
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: and louder every stag. I would rather hear the trombone

343
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: solo again, turning up the voltage on the cold they

344
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: go together? Could they co exist? The trombone solo makes

345
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: the song better. Uh, this is nine players not normally

346
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: and you're starting wind up beginning at the quarterback position. Scott,

347
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: I have Baker Mayfield, the Titans of the fifth worst

348
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: team against fantasy quarterbacks. Mayfield's top two d fifty yards

349
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: just twice this year, but he's had a bunch of

350
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: bad weather games, and in the four of the five

351
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 1: games of twenty seven attempts or more he had multiple scores.

352
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: The Titans have allowed twenty seven attempts or more to

353
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: every single quarterback they face. It's it's it's just a

354
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: game where he's gonna get to pass a lot more

355
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: than he's been able to lately. Yeah, the volume is there.

356
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: Titans are seeing forty passes per game, which is would

357
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: be a huge uptick for Mayfield. And that's how he

358
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: gets fed in this game. Bryan, you're take a chance

359
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: in the quarterback the artist formerly known as Stu Beard,

360
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: he's now Stu Stubbs. Ryan Fitzpatrick at home against the Bengals,

361
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: assumed starter. He should be the starter. We'll talk about

362
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: this game a little later. We're gonna assume he's starting

363
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: right now for the segment. Fitzpatrick has eight passing touchdowns

364
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: in his last three games against the Bengals. Has a dolphin,

365
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: a buck, and a jet and that all came in

366
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: the same year. That's a joke, but very recently so

367
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: he carves up Cincinnati on the regular. The Bengals have

368
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: only allowed one passing touchdown over their last two games.

369
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: That was Alex Smith and then the Giants last week.

370
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones was carving them up, throwing bombs to the

371
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: one yard line, but he got hurt. But before that game, uh,

372
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: since he had surrendered well over three plus passing yards

373
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: per game over their last four and fourteen passing touchdowns

374
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: during that four game span. I've got Philip Rivers assuming

375
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: he goes, he's trying to work through a toe injury.

376
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: If he doesn't, Jacoby Brisette might even be a plausible

377
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: answer here. Now Prost's already stealing goal line work from

378
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, but it's actually impacting the runners because he's

379
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: running in touchdowns and Philip Rivers is actually scored multiple

380
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: touchdowns in four of the past six games, So very

381
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: favorable matchup with Houston. They've given, they get. They've recently

382
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: given up three hundred four passing yards to Jake Lewton

383
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: and Cam Newton doubled his per game average, ballooning up

384
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: to three hundred sixty five passing yards against Houston Philip Rivers,

385
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: assuming he goes, let's go to the running back position, Scott. So.

386
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: On the west coast, we have this beast blowing up

387
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: the league by the name of de Kalin Metcalf. On

388
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: the East coast, we have a guy that's about to

389
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: start blowing up the league by the name of Jackalin

390
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: Dobbins JK. Dobbins. Okay, he's coming for you. He had

391
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: seventeen touches out of the twenty two running back touches

392
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: last the last healthy game he played. He didn't play

393
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: this last Wednesday, of course. Uh, he had six the snaps.

394
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: He's had two games where he's at sixty plus percent

395
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: of snaps six team one and seventeen for eighty five

396
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: in a score. Kenyan Drake hundred sixty four yards, daven

397
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: Cook a hundred and sixty yards, Gibson had a hundred

398
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: eight against Dallas. Uh and they those three combined for

399
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns. And that was just in the last six weeks.

400
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: I I got J. K. Dobbins blowing up Dallas. We're

401
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: gonna talk more about Tim a little bit later in

402
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: the show as well. Uh, let's lose your take a

403
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: chance of me running back Billy's Boston Scott at Green

404
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: Bay over the each in each of the last six games,

405
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: Scott has been Phillies leading receiving running back for the Eagles. Yes,

406
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders was injured for some of that stint, but

407
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: when since Sanders has returned, his touches have gone from

408
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: seventy seven to seventy to fifty percent. Scott Scott's have

409
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: gone up during that span, from eight percent to thirty percent,

410
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: of the Packers have surrendered the second most receiving touchdowns

411
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: and the most receiving yards to opposing running backs. It

412
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: should be no surprise Green Bay has yielded the third

413
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: most red zone targets and touches in Golden Ghost scenarios

414
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: to running backs. I hate the wide receivers for Philly.

415
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: In this game, it's gonna be all tight ends and

416
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: running acts catching the ball. So Boston Scott playing from behind.

417
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: I've got Miles Gaskin returning to the starting lineup, and

418
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: I know sevon A Commen may come back as well.

419
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: Umubtful now, and I think Gaskin is gonna get the

420
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: overwhelming majority of the work against the Cincinnati defense that's

421
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: given up the third most rushing yards, two backs and touchdowns.

422
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: In four of the last five Gaskin has gotten at

423
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: least twenty one touches and five is six starts. If

424
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: he gets anywhere near twenty one touches in this game,

425
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: he is sitting on a potentially goldmine game. Let's go

426
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: to the receivers. Scott, who is your take a chance

427
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: of me receiver? Gave Davis Gabriel Davis for the Buffalo Bills.

428
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: I gave him a starting grade last week, and I

429
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: will do it here again this week. With Brown out,

430
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: he had three for seventy nine and the score last week.

431
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: If he's still out there, go get him because he's

432
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: he's been good when Brown has been out. That all

433
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: my buttons got moved and I could not find the

434
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: peacock right away. But that's that is a delayed earned

435
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: peacock right there. Brian, you take a chance of me, receiver,

436
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: help me, but I'm going t Y Hilton at Houston now,

437
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: you against the Texans. You might remember t Y Hilton

438
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: from such box scores as one yards and three receiving

439
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: touchdowns two three yards and a touchdown, one hundred and

440
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: seventy five yards and two touchdowns in a hundred ninety

441
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: nine yards just two years ago. But yes, those are

442
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 1: in the past. But the Texans allowed more than one

443
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: hundred sixty five yards per game to wide receivers, and

444
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: if you take out they're bad weather game in Cleveland.

445
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: We've mentioned the Raiders a game a bunch of times.

446
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: Houston has surrendered thirteen touchdowns to wide receivers over their

447
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: last eight games, so one time. T Y Hilton more

448
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: of a double d Daily Dart, Daily Dart. I've got

449
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: Keelan Cole against the Vikings because he runs out of

450
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: the slot, which puts him up against Jeff Gladney. Jeff Gladen,

451
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: he has allowed the most passing touchdowns and the second

452
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: most yards in the league. That is a very favorable matchup.

453
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: Cole has been active in this offense, more active since

454
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew was benched, averaging a healthy six targets per game.

455
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: Since then, other slot receivers have posted Fantasy relevant games

456
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: against the Vikings like Curtis Samuel, Ceedee Lamb, Danny am

457
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: and Dola Marquez, Velda Scantling, Russell Gauge, Corey Davis, and

458
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: Zach Pascal. If those guys can do it, why not

459
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: Keelan Cole. Let's go to our next matchup, which is

460
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts taking on the Houston Texans. We've already

461
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 1: talked about some of these Colts. I like the quarterback,

462
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: presumably Philip Rivers. You liked receiver t Y Hilton. Let's

463
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: stay with the passing game. What about the best receiver

464
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: on the team. Yeah, Michael Pittman really quickly. I want

465
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: to mention these teams haven't played yet. This will be

466
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: the first meeting. They're gonna play again in week fourteen.

467
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: Uh next week camp. But yes, Michael Pittman, hold on,

468
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: I get a chance to use there is that is

469
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: our crow crow eating right there? Wow, nicely done. Not

470
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: still nine targets for Pittman though, and he is the

471
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: lead receiver on this team now, it is not t

472
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: Y Hilton. And again the Texans I just said allow

473
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: more than hundred sixty five yards per game to wide receivers.

474
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 1: Take out the bad weather game in Cleveland and thirteen

475
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: touchdowns to the position over the last eight is what

476
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: Houston has surrenders would be for Michael Pittman. T Y

477
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: Hiltons might take a chance on the wide receiver and

478
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: Trey Burton going to give him a c. Over the

479
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: last two weeks, he has more targets than Jack Doyle

480
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: and mo Ali Cox combined, and he gets a nice

481
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: match up here with Houston. Again, if you take out

482
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: that bad weather game in Cleveland, Houston has allowed seventy

483
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: two yards per game to tight ends over their last

484
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: three So a C for Burton and to the running

485
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: game for the Colts. Jonathan Taylor should make his return

486
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: from the COVID list. Uh. The Texans have allowed these

487
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: second most fantasy points and the most rushing yards who

488
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: running backs, and going back to last year, they have

489
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: let a running back score in seventeen of their last

490
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: eighteen games. So yeah, I'm giving Taylor a b here,

491
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: assuming he gets the bulk of the work. And that's

492
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: why I'm gonna bench nihem Hines. Yes, the matchup is

493
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: good on paper, but uh, Indie's line is a little

494
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: banged up. Costanzo is out there their top guard, and

495
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: I do expect Taylor to see the majority of touches

496
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: and Houston has only surrendered one receiving touchdown to running back,

497
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: so I got highs on the bench. Over to the

498
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: Houston side, David Johnson hasn't officially been activated, but it

499
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 1: sounds like he will get expected to the Texans. I'll

500
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: give him a see. Before he was concussed, Johnson had

501
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: scored or topped one hundred Comboy yards in three straights,

502
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: so he was certainly serviceable. The Colts are a tough

503
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: matchup as no back as top seventy two rushing yards

504
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: against them, but it will be a big boon for

505
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: David Johnson if DeForest Buckner misses his second straight game,

506
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: Johnson is no Derrick Henry, but without DeForest Buckner, Derrick

507
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: Henry just had his way with that Colts defense last week,

508
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: So if he's out, Johnson might be a b um.

509
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks is a b The new lead receiver for

510
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: the Texans has at least eighty yards and or a

511
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: touchdown in five of his last seven games, averaging eight

512
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 1: targets during that span. There are now seven extra targets

513
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: per game up for grabs. With Will full Fuller suspended,

514
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: India's a solid corner duo and Xavier Rose and Rocky

515
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: Sin is it? Rock your sin is it? But the

516
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: Colts have allowed a ninety eight yard and one d

517
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: and six yard wide receiver outing over the last two games.

518
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: So I'll give the B to Brandon Cooks and that

519
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: leaves Kiki Cutie and Isaiah Coulter out of Rhode Island,

520
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: where I went there my freshman year. I had forgotten

521
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: that I had done that until I saw that. Yeah,

522
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: I was like, oh yeah, I went to you are

523
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: I I gotta like you know who that? Of course

524
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: he does he's University of Rhode Island tape over here.

525
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: Knowes what what high school he went to? Probably, but

526
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: I got them both on the bench. Uh. Someone needs

527
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: to step up in Fuller's absence. We gotta let this,

528
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: see this, let this play out in a tough matchup

529
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: against the Colts. Nonetheless, so they're both on the bench,

530
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: as are Darren Fells and Jordan Nakins. Uh. The Colt

531
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: steps surrender just one tight end touchdown all season, and

532
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, though not on the bench, of course, he

533
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: gets to be. The loss of Will Fuller is massive uh.

534
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: And the Colts have well the fourth views passing yards

535
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: and touchdowns to quarterbacks, so it's not a good matchup.

536
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 1: What Lamar Jackson did have thirteen carries for fifty eight

537
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown against the Colts, the only true

538
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback they've faced, and Watson is certainly in that ballpark.

539
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: The Raiders take on the Jets Scott uh and for

540
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: this one, Josh Jacobs is out. Dante Booker, they presumed

541
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: starter and workhorse back in this one he is he is. Uh.

542
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: Since Week five, the Jets have allowed just one touchdown

543
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: and running backs that's pretty good sneaky good run. Yeah,

544
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: in that street, in that stretch, teams just don't need

545
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: to run because passing is so easy though too so.

546
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: No back in the last five weeks has more than

547
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: sixteen carries against them. They're not running the ball a lot.

548
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: Uh right now, DeVante Booker, we don't have a lot

549
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: to go on this season for good When he's gotten

550
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: the ball, he's averaging five and a half yards per

551
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: came where I was gonna go, well, not with the

552
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: yards per carry, but he's had eight plus touches twice.

553
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: He had sixty plus yards in both of those games,

554
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: hit three touchdowns in those games. I have a B

555
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: grade on Booker because I think he's just gonna get

556
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: just gonna get the workload of fifteen touch workload. It

557
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: could be it could be a C. But I'm gonna

558
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: go with a B on the Derek Carr. I have

559
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: to give him a C grade because of the last

560
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: five games, he's averaging a hundred eighty four yards, which

561
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: is very, very bad for a starting quarterback in the NFL.

562
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: He started so well too at the beginning of the year.

563
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: The Jets, though they have allowed the fourth most yards

564
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks and only one quarterback failed to score multiple touchdowns,

565
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: So I think this might be a little bit of

566
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: a get right game. He hopes to have Aglar back

567
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: or playing in this game. He's been missing practice all

568
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: week with the angle injury. Limited practice on Friday. We

569
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: think he should be back. If he's back, I give

570
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: a the C grade because the Jets just as bad

571
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: against the wide receivers as the Arthur quarterbacks. Fourth most

572
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: yards allowed wide receivers. Nelson Aglar seventeen plus yards per reception.

573
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: He's top fifty yards in five the last seven. He's

574
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: averaging over five targets a game. He's the safe guy.

575
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: I have Rugs and Renfro on the bench. I want

576
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: to I want to put this though. If all does

577
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: not go, I'm giving C grades to both Rugs and

578
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: Renfroll because I think those targets, you know they're they're

579
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: gonna get some targets anyway. Those targets have to spread out.

580
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: I think they try to hit Rugs deep. I think

581
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: Renfroll becomes the underneath safety valve. I think they might

582
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: get enough work with targets moving from ail R to

583
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: those two to make them both seaworthy. But as for now,

584
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: it's just with the sea. I love Seaworthy, Yeah, seaworthy.

585
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: What was the Melvin Gordon line you had before? Let's

586
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: not go back now. If you're playing the Bucks, then

587
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: you could really be you can be double ec worthy right.

588
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, our uh Darren Waller A grade. The

589
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: Jets are fourth worst against tight ends. Raiders consistently look

590
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: for their tight ends for scores. David David. Derek Carr

591
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: has nineteen touchdowns this year, eight of them to tight ends.

592
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: That's a lot of tight end touchdowns from Derek From

593
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. The Jets have given up huge days to

594
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: wide receivers and tight ends. Uh. Ten ends who get

595
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: seven or more targets. Uh, we're talking about nine of

596
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: those wide receivers are tight ends with seven or more

597
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: targets score scored. Eight of them had a hundred plus

598
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 1: yard days. Wellard has seven or more targets in eight

599
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: games this year. He's gonna get there, so he should

600
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: have a really good day. On the other side, Sam

601
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: Donald has three passing touchdowns in the last seven weeks.

602
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: In his seven weeks and his best game is two

603
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: and thirty yards. The question is are the Raiders defense

604
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: bad enough for Donald to do much. I don't think

605
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: they're that bad. I'm gonna give crowded. Yeah, they're not

606
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: prop up darnal bad. I've given crowd of the C

607
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: grade though, because the Raiders are one of the worst,

608
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: one of the two worst in the league against slot receivers.

609
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: Um Nim has had a nice game last week, but

610
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: Crowder is the guy I would look to hear. Nine

611
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: different slot receivers have top fifty plus yards against the Radars.

612
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: That's a lot of them, So C grade for Crowder Gore,

613
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a C grade to uh, no worry

614
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: about his top seventy yards against the Raiders since we three, however,

615
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: they've allowed fifteen touchdowns and given Gore's twenty one touch

616
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: usage last week and really no one to take Cary's

617
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: from him. He's also getting the volume. See yeah, I

618
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: think he's good for that seventy plus yards if he

619
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: gets similar volume again when we come back. Jaguars take

620
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: on the Vikings James Robinson coming off a big game.

621
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: He's been uber consistent this year, but the Vikings run

622
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: defense has rounded into form over the past month and

623
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: a half, making this a tricky matchup. We'll tell you

624
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: if you can start James Robinson when we come back

625
00:32:39,840 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul

626
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: Jarchi in Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you. A

627
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: block of matchups coming up, beginning with the Jacksonville Jaguars

628
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: traveling to the Minnesota Vikings. Let's start with the running

629
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: game and James Robinson. Over the last eight Vikings games,

630
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: only Zeke has top seventy five yards on the ground.

631
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: They've given up just one rushing score and one receiving

632
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: score to Runners in their last six games right now,

633
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: right now, But I don't know he's better than the Runners.

634
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: The Vikings are faced in six, seven or eight of

635
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: the last games, and this is a sneaky, tough matchup

636
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: um Robinson, though it seems a match up proof. I

637
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: mean just he basically performs well, not usually explosively against

638
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: just about everybody. He's provided at least nineteen touches and

639
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: ninety four combo yards in his last five games. That's

640
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: good enough to give him a B grade in this one.

641
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: Let's go to the passing game, where Mike Glennon gets

642
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: a C grade. I thought he looked decent last week

643
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: against the Browns, and each of his receivers have got

644
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: plus matchups over their cornerback counterparts. The Vikings secondary looks

645
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: slightly improved lately, but remains highly suspect. Minnesota is just

646
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: one game removed from giving up three touchdowns to Andy Dalton.

647
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: So you know, in a pinch, you could start Glennon,

648
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: but you probably care more about his receivers. Already told

649
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: you Keelan cole Was might take a chance on the

650
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver and he gets a B grade in this game.

651
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: D J Chark with a B grade. He's trying to

652
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 1: play through a rib injury. I think he'll do it here.

653
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: Chark has commanded at least seven targets and four of

654
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: the last five games he's been getting more use with

655
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew out and he's got a He has a

656
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: score and a one hundred forty six yard performance over

657
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: those last five games. Chark will face on the outside

658
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: Chris Boyd and sometimes undrafted free agent Chris Jones on

659
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: the outside, both of whom yield passer ratings north of

660
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: one hundred twenty in their coverage. So B grade for

661
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: d J Chark as well. Let's go over to the

662
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: Viking side. This one's really interesting. Everybody feels and I

663
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: do too, that they have to give Dalvin Cook less usage.

664
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: Since his midseason injury, the Vikings have used him to

665
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: the tune of twenty nine touches a game. He is

666
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: visibly wearing down, and over the last three weeks his

667
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: yards per carry have dropped from six down to three

668
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 1: and a half. And that's because of the I believe

669
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: because of the extra usage. So I think they dial

670
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: in back some here. But the Jaguars allowed the six

671
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: most rushing yards and the eighth most receiving yards to

672
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 1: opposing running backs, coughing up one d fifty total yards

673
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: per game. That is the fourth most. So Cook remains

674
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: an a start here. But don't expect another twenty nine

675
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: touch game. I think it's closer to eighteen to twenty.

676
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: And that's why Alexander Madison is a dart throw C

677
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: grade here. If you believe like I do, that Cook's

678
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: gonna see fewer touches, let's go to the passing game.

679
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is a B grade. Again. If Cook's gonna

680
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: get less usage, that puts an emphasis on Cousins, and

681
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: he throws a few more passes in this game. Volume

682
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: is usually what keeps his numbers non fantasy relevant. In

683
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: many cases, when he gets volume, he does very well.

684
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: The Jaguars have allowed exactly two touchdowns in four straight games.

685
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: I think Cousins is sitting out approximately two touchdowns in

686
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: this swar and and he's thrown multiple touchdowns in four

687
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: straight So a B grade for Kirk Cousins. A grades

688
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: for Adam Theland and Justin Jefferson. Jaguars secondary starting undrafted

689
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: free agents Trey Herndon, Luke bark Who and fourth round

690
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: rookie Josiah Scott. This is a secondary right for Pilfering,

691
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: and I like both Feeling and Justin Jefferson with A grades.

692
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: Jaguars allowing two hundred eight yards per game just to

693
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position. Both Feeling and Jefferson can get

694
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: paid in this game. Lastly, Cal Rudolph is a C

695
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: grade with IRV Smith out. Jaguars are a defense that's

696
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: allowed the most tight end touchdowns nine So if you

697
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: need to pivot a tight end, Kyle Rudolph's the guy

698
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: you can use. We just mentioned in passing, Uh, well,

699
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: actually we didn't. Cincinnati Bengals taking on the Miami Dolphins.

700
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: I take that part back, Brian. Let's start on the

701
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: Bengals side of the ball. Giovanni Bernard disappointed last week.

702
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: I don't love his chances against a surprisingly decent Miami

703
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: run defense. What do you think the Bengal is just

704
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna be mentioned in passing at the end of the show. Basically,

705
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: I got the Geo on the bench. He didn't lead

706
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: the way quote unquote lead the way with the leaven

707
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: of the fourteen running back opportunities. Those are carries and

708
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: targets for since he last week fourteen opportunities. That is

709
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: not when you've when you've got Brandon Allen's quarterback quarterback.

710
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: So you can't like Geo's prospects against the Dolphins. No

711
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: opposing back as top to ninety yards rushing and only

712
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: one back as top thirty five receiving yards all year,

713
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: and that was the aforementioned James Robinson in Week three.

714
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: So Geo safely on the bench here. Tyler Boyd is

715
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: almost there. I'm gonna give him a see though Miami

716
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: has surrendered just eight wide receiver touchdowns all season. That's

717
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: not a lot, fourth fewest, but the Dolphins have allowed

718
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: back to back one hundred yard games to the position.

719
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: But keep in mind Brandon Allen had a hundred thirty

720
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: six passing yards total last week, so it's gonna be

721
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: tough to get to a hundred yards for Boyd. But

722
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: he will face slot corner Nick need Um most often.

723
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 1: He hasn't allowed to score all seasons, So very soft

724
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: sea for Tyler Boyd and T Higgins. I got him

725
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: on the bench. You can cover a J Green with

726
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: a parking cone at this point. That means Higgins will

727
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: draw Xavian Howard. Pro Football focuses number one rated cornerback

728
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: in coverage and just overall in general. So Higgins is

729
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: on the bench, and so it was Brandon Allen. Of course,

730
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: over to the Miami side, Miles Gaskin was your to

731
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: take a chance on me? Running back chart I love

732
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 1: him a lot in this matchup. You have to Davante

733
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: Parker love him too. Can give him an A. And

734
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: again this is under the presumption Fitzer Ryan Fitzpatrick is

735
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback. I'm gonna give Parker in a B

736
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: to but in A for Parker since he has surrendered

737
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 1: the fourth most wide receiver touchdowns per game one point three,

738
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: and over their last four games alone, the Bengals have

739
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: surrendered seven wide receiver touchdowns and to one yard games

740
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: to the position. Parker will face outside corner Tony Brown

741
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: most who allowed seventy eight yards and a touchdown in

742
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: his coverage last week wide receiver too. I'm tempted here,

743
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: but Parker got all of the targets last week. Mac

744
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: Collins saw three and jachiem Grant, a friend of the show,

745
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: had too. It's a great matchup, but I'm putting them

746
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: both on the bench here. I feared the negative game

747
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: script for the wide receiver to for Miami, so they're

748
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 1: both on the bench. But Mike Asiki is not gonna

749
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: give him a b. The Bengals have allowed the seventh

750
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: most receptions, the most yards, and eighth most touchdowns to

751
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: opposing tight ends. They just got scorched by Evan and

752
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,919
Speaker 1: Gram last week for a hundred nine yards, and Gram

753
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: had in top of the hundred yards since earlyen So

754
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 1: you love Gaseki here, and I love Ryan Fitzpatrick of course,

755
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: as do you charge might take a chance on the quarterback.

756
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: I love it all right. Let's go to our final

757
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: matchup of this segment, which is the Cincinnati Sorry, I

758
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 1: don't know why I got these two teams backwards. Uh,

759
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns taking on the Tennessee Titans. We already

760
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: talked about Baker Mayfield take a chance, I mean quarterback.

761
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the rest of the matchup. Yeah. Since

762
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: I like Mayfield here, I like Landry here. Last week

763
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: was his first good weather game without O b J.

764
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: And he had eight catches for a hundred forty three

765
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown. He's getting He's getting a giant

766
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: one of the largest target shares of his team's targets

767
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now. Uh. He also had his

768
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: first touchdown of the year, which was nice. Titans ninth

769
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 1: worst against wide receivers. So Landry's got to be Higgins

770
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: and Hodge. They have combined for one game with three

771
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: or more catches this year. For more than three catches, yeah,

772
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: I can I can't trust them. Hodge had a goose

773
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: egg two weeks ago, but he was better than Higgins

774
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: last week. You don't know where it's coming from. They're

775
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: both on the bench. Austin Hooper. Titans are ninth worst

776
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: against tight ends. They're they're just a bottom ten in

777
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: a lot of defensive categories here, allowing three touchdowns in

778
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: the last four games. In that span, they've averaged a

779
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 1: five point five catches and sixty four yards two tight

780
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: ends allowed. That's that is a lot for those that

781
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: are not used to the average tight end of those

782
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: are healthy numbers. Yeah, if you get sixty, if you're

783
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: getting sixty yards out of the tight end, that's a

784
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: really good day, especially in especially in twenty. It's a

785
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: great matchup, so I'm giving, but the Browns and the

786
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: Browns have a propensity to look for their tight ends

787
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: in the end zone, so I'm giving. I'm given Hooper

788
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 1: a C grade here, and it's just because of Hooper.

789
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: He has so many low yardage total games this year

790
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: that it's it's tough to trust him despite the great matchup.

791
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb gets an A. He's just really darned good.

792
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: Titans are seventh worth against running backs. Every running back

793
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: with seventeen and more touches top two hundred yards and

794
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: our scores scored Nick Chubb nineteen plus touches in all

795
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: three games since returning top two fourteen in all three

796
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: of those. Hunt also very startable B grade here has

797
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 1: at least ten touches in every single game he's played

798
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: with Nick Chubb this week. When you're getting ten touches,

799
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: you're getting decent volume, especially in a good matchup against

800
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, the Titans seventh worst against running backs.

801
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: They have allowed three receiving touchdowns in the last five weeks,

802
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: so it's a good matchup for Hunt. Here. On the

803
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: other side, Derrick Henry is an A grade. I don't

804
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: even think we need to talk. We don't even talked

805
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: about him anymore in the past. I'll mention the Browns

806
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: are a pretty good run defense, but it doesn't matter.

807
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: Did James Robinson just have a hundred fifty nine yards

808
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: against them last week? And Derrick Henry is better than

809
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: James right doesn't have always worked that way. He was

810
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 1: out last week. Onto the passing game, Ryan Tannehill. Browns

811
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: are eighth worst against quarterbacks. That should help maybe Tannehill's

812
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: really really bad streak going on, But look at the

813
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: look at the schedule they've played so the last several weeks.

814
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: Chicago Indie, Baltimore Indie. That's a brutal run for for Tannehill.

815
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: That's like a Deshaun Watson schedule. I'll talk more about

816
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: that in just a minute. Ryan Tannehill Mike Glennon through

817
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: for two thirty five yards and two touchdowns. Uh and

818
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz through for also two d thirty five yards

819
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: had two touchdowns against this Cleveland Brown Brown's team. I

820
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: think Tannehill is a little better than both of them. Uh.

821
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: He has sixth straight under two hundred six yards. But

822
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: the upside is there. I'm thinking little mid two hundreds,

823
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns for Tannehill. You here, I think

824
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: I think that's be worthy. I think that's a solid

825
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: safe outing A J. Brown. He was over analyzed last

826
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: week by me. I admit it, Brown, I gotta B

827
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: grade two or an eight grade to here this week.

828
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: He's just too much of a stud. And Corey Davis.

829
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm giving a C grade to Brown's eleventh worst against

830
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Davis has at least three catches and at

831
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: least sixty five yards in all but one game. That's

832
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 1: surprising is surprising, isn't Yeah? I think Tannehill is sitting

833
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: on a nice rebound to his season beginning here. A J.

834
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: Brown could be somebody who becomes the highest scoring wide

835
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: receiver the rest of the way. That's I'll stay. I'll

836
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 1: plant my flag on that. Like when we come back.

837
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: Three tough questions for a panel of experts. You can

838
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: play along. See if you can go three and oh

839
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: when Fantasy Football Weekly returns, you don't know, don't don't

840
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: you don't don't don't, No, no, don't, don't don't know,

841
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: don't don't you don't Fantasy Football Weekly returns. This is

842
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: a game we call three tough questions, formerly five tough questions,

843
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: but we don't have as much time as we used

844
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: to years past, formerly hot questions for a year or two.

845
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: That's right. It was briefly hot questions. Spots it top,

846
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 1: that's right, And we didn't get it out of that pizza.

847
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: But the way I agree, by the way, I didn't

848
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: know I was biting into a pickle pizza today. It

849
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: was so bad. Don't do it. For the love of God.

850
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: Anybody tries to give you a so called cheese burger pizza,

851
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: make sure they get the pickles up. The hot pickle.

852
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. It was in general, and I like

853
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: pickles that you don't want any part of them. Do

854
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: have some flaws. Three tough questions, beginning with tough question

855
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: Number one, it is sabotage drop season. Should fantasy managers

856
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 1: drop Deshaun Watson? What what Scott alluded to the last

857
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 1: the last segment here, they have Indie Chicago Indians since

858
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: he coming up, since he's not much Indie Chicago and

859
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,959
Speaker 1: Indie coming up on the schedule. It's a really really

860
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: rough schedule coming up, and he's lost Will Fuller. I

861
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: still don't think you could do it though Watson and

862
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: Watson has run for two over thirty five yards last

863
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: few games. Chicago's allowed four touchdowns passing in the first

864
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: six weeks, but since then they've allowed multiple touchdowns in

865
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: five straight both of both of those Indians Indians Chicago

866
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: the early season is what got them in some really

867
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: weak matchups on the schedule, games against like Minshew and

868
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: Donald and Falls and Mayfield and Tannehill for Indie. I

869
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 1: still think he's gonna be a borderline top twelve guy,

870
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: and I just I just don't want to give an

871
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 1: opponent a top you know, a guy that could perform

872
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: at a top twelve level, even if you have better

873
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: replacement options. Keep him on your bench and don't give

874
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: him to anyone else, all Right, Brian, should fantasy managers drop,

875
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: sabotage drop DeShawn Watson. Yeah, like Scott said, Colts Bears

876
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: Colts over his next three But he gets the Bengals

877
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: at home in week sixteen. Like Scott said, And even

878
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: if I'm streaming quarterbacks the next three weeks, I'm finding

879
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: a bench spot to stash Watson for that week's six

880
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: team matchup in the event I'm still alive. But he

881
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: could have a good game against the Colts. Who knows,

882
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: it's the first meeting. And even if he has a

883
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: bad game, you can essentially sabotage drop Watson after this

884
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: game because his name value still brings a lot to

885
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 1: the table, and the Bears matchup is bad. Yes, but

886
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: I looked back at all the quarterbacks they face. They

887
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: have not faced a quarterback comparable to Deshaun Watson over

888
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: the last two seasons. Really like a truly mobile quarterback.

889
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: He could be the skeleton key that gets to that defense.

890
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 1: So don't drop Deshaun Watson, and h please don't cue

891
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: the Beastie boys right now. Charge, don't do it. He's

892
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: gonna do it. I can't find it alright there they

893
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: are the whole boy of the sabotage drop. He is

894
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: to put a good player who's gonna struggle on an

895
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: opponent's roster. That's the whole point. This fits all of

896
00:47:55,840 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: the criteria of the sabotage drop right year, right now.

897
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 1: With the Shawn Watson here, let me let me phrase

898
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: the question differently. Can Brandon Cooks carry a passing offense? Answer? No,

899
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: he never has. He has always been a robin to

900
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: somebody else's batman, and defensives are going to play to

901
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: take Brandon Cooks away. And then who is Deshaun Watson

902
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna pass to? Who's gonna carry him to fantasy glory?

903
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: Isaiah Coulter from the University of Rhode Island. The point

904
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: is nobody, and if he maybe he squeaks out one

905
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: good game against this tough run. By the way, Indie

906
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: ranks number four and passing yards allowed, number five in

907
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns allowed, their number three and fantasy points allowed

908
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks. The Chicago ranks sixth and fantasy points allowed

909
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks eighth and fantasy touch in passing touchdowns allowed,

910
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: and they have an allowed of quarterback rushing touchdown all year.

911
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: This is a brutal series of matchups. Ken, Watson have

912
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 1: a good game against one of these teams, maybe he'll

913
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: find a way. Maybe, but more than likely he's going

914
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: to dud in one of these games, and he will

915
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: knock out one of your opponents from the playoffs when

916
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,919
Speaker 1: he does. Now you might say, well, he's gonna rush

917
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: me to victory. You're own Watson, apparently, because Watson has

918
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: one rushing touchdown since the opener one. He has top

919
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: fifty rushing yards zero times this year. He's not the

920
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: same rushing quarterback that you think he is. He didn't

921
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:36,359
Speaker 1: need to add. Will Faller out there full fuller advantage drop.

922
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: Who are you replacing him with? Who are we replacing him?

923
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: You can find help by listening to this show and

924
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 1: take a chance on me. Tough question number two, what

925
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: is the appropriate level of concern for Alvin Kamara? None?

926
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: Some or a bowl loosening level of existential dread? Bryan,

927
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:03,240
Speaker 1: My bowels are loosened, bricks are falling out right now, Rostering.

928
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,879
Speaker 1: I'm passing bricks, but I'll go with bow loosening level

929
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: of existential dread. Just three targets over the last week,

930
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: last two weeks for one catch for negative two yards.

931
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: For Kamara, he was on pace to break Christian McCaffrey's

932
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: record for receptions by running back set just last year.

933
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: He was gonna like shatter it. And that's all going

934
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 1: down the tubes. Taysom Hill is taking all the goal

935
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: line work, the Tavia's Murray's arguably healthier and fresher right now.

936
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: He's not a better running back. But until Drew Brees

937
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: comes back, we're not going to see the Alvin Kamara

938
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,240
Speaker 1: we were used to for the majority of the season.

939
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 1: So I am you know, you know the poopy pants

940
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: scared right now? All right, Scott, what's the appropriate level

941
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: of concern for Alvin Kamara? None? Some or the bowle

942
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: loosening level of existential dread? See. Uh. When I start

943
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 1: thinking about this question, my stomach starts to turn a little,

944
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: and then I think my balls are gonna loosen, And

945
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: then I think it is Taysom going to stay the starter?

946
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: Is Jamis Winston gonna come in? And I think how

947
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 1: far away are we from Breese really coming back? Because

948
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna want to end this season on a high

949
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: note if this is his last year. I say just

950
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: some because I think this might just be a short

951
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: term thing and we'll be okay in the playoffs. The

952
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: correct answer is a bowl loosening level of existential dread.

953
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. It's not even just Taysom Hill,

954
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: which is a massive concern. The no targets to Alvin

955
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: Kamara at the negative receiving yards and the siphoning off

956
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns because as I said earlier in the show,

957
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: I think Taysom Hill is gonna get benched sooner or

958
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 1: later because he can't pass. The foot injury really worries me.

959
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: This is this is no small deal. Remember last year

960
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: when Alvin Kamara famously played through all those injuries and

961
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: scored in two games all year. I think we might

962
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: be back to that. He doesn't pass the eye test

963
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: and the only way Lottavius Murray is getting equal playing time.

964
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: That should never happen. If Alvin Kamara is healthy. He's

965
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: not healthy. And I don't know that you get over

966
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: a foot injury while you're playing on it. My bowels

967
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 1: are loosened. Tough question number three. Last week, I asked

968
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: you about dropping all the Rams and Bucks runners in

969
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 1: this segment. This week, I'm asking about the Baltimore Runners.

970
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:22,439
Speaker 1: Now that everybody's healthy. Should Ravens running back managers drop

971
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: them outright? Scott? First off, I think I might want

972
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: to leave it. Both of your bowls and this this

973
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 1: very small, very small studio. Yes, it's not that small

974
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: of it anyway. You know how I feel about J. K. Dobbins.

975
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,439
Speaker 1: I think he's taking over the load. I already said

976
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 1: it earlier. I think he's going to be the lead

977
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: back going forward. I think he's led the lead in

978
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,839
Speaker 1: touch in snaps four straight games, and two of those

979
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 1: games everyone was healthy. I think he starts to be

980
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: the sixty plus percent of snaps fifteen to twenty touch

981
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: guy for the rest of the season. I say no,

982
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:59,399
Speaker 1: I say keep Dobbins, right, Brian should Should fantasy owners

983
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: drop all Ravens? Yeah, I'm with fish. Fifteen rush attempts

984
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: for Dobbins in week eleven, then he got the VID

985
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: as we all know this week twelve, but they were

986
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,720
Speaker 1: ready to give him an extended look. So I'm holding

987
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,800
Speaker 1: onto Dobbins, but I'll drop the rest of them. But

988
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 1: so the answer is now, yeah, that is correct answer.

989
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: Gus is too touchdown dependent, he's out Ingram's uses, too scattered,

990
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 1: he's out we just have this one game sample size,

991
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 1: and that's all it is on Dobbins, just the one game,

992
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: the glimmer of hope. That's that game before his COVID

993
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: designation was going to be legitimate. We got to really though.

994
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: The other game that Markingham was out, he got sixty percentsion.

995
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,839
Speaker 1: I think Justice Hill looks pretty good, look pretty good.

996
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: Could be four way rotation if we're not careful. I'm

997
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: for at least one more week. I'm watching Dobbins. But

998
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 1: if they go back to being another rotational team, even

999
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: rotation between those runners, he's out. He's got a one

1000
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: game leash and that is it. Let's work in one

1001
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: final matchup into this segment, and that is the Dallas

1002
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys taking on the Baltimore Ravens. Not a lot to

1003
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,399
Speaker 1: talk about on the Dallas side. Yes, I was gonna

1004
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: says Bryant revenge game. It is Bryant revenge. There was

1005
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 1: ever a revenge game. It might be this one. I know.

1006
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: It's too bad it's not in Dallas, so we can't

1007
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: go out to the Star. Uh, let's go. I have

1008
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: one starting grade on a Cowboy and it's a Marie

1009
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 1: Cooper and it's only a C grade. In Andy Dalton's

1010
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: three full games, Cooper is averaging yards and has scored twice.

1011
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: Baltimore is a top five defense and yardage allowed to receivers,

1012
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: and they've allowed among the fewest passing touchdowns. Cooper will

1013
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: get a healthy dose of Marcus Peters and Peters is

1014
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: is probably the easiest of the matchups in that secondary,

1015
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,359
Speaker 1: depending on whether or not Jimmy Smith plays in this one,

1016
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,760
Speaker 1: but either way it doesn't matter. It's a brutal matchup

1017
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: and Cooper is the only guy can start. Staying with

1018
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: the passing game. Andy Dalton's on the bench. I think

1019
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: that goes without saying. Against Baltimore. Ceedee Lamb also on

1020
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: the bench. Out of the slot. He has a very

1021
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: tough matchup with Marlon Humphrey and staying again with the

1022
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,399
Speaker 1: passing game. Dalton Shaw, it's the tight end. No tight

1023
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 1: end is top fifty yards against Baltimore over their last

1024
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 1: eight games. He's on the bench too, and that leaves

1025
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: us with Zeke. It's come to this a straight up

1026
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 1: bench designation. Going back to weeks six, Elliott has topped

1027
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: three point eight yards per carry, which is not good.

1028
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: One time vikings. He has scored one time Vikings. He

1029
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: has topped sixty three yards one time Vikings, so he's

1030
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: not playing the Vikings. So it's just a bench grade

1031
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: for Ezekiel Elliott. Let's go over to the Baltimore side

1032
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: where things get a lot more interesting. Lamar Jackson expected

1033
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: back and man does he need to get right game

1034
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: and this might be it? Please please. Jackson has scored

1035
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: just one or two touchdowns in eight of the past

1036
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: nine games. He's been held under two hundred eight passing

1037
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: yards in the past eight of the nine games. Only

1038
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: the Jets throw for le yardage than the Ravens. Fortunately,

1039
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,320
Speaker 1: Dallas can give up gigantic games to anybody. The Cowboys

1040
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: have allowed multiple passing touchdowns in eight of ten games.

1041
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 1: I think Jackson is going to find his way to

1042
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 1: two or even three touchdowns air and ground this week

1043
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: and to B grade for Lamar Jackson. Marcus Brown had

1044
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: the the nifty touchdown late in Wednesday Night's game Wednesday

1045
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 1: afternoon's game. When he doesn't score those long touchdowns, though,

1046
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 1: you usually get you know nothing from Brown, so you

1047
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: know the risk here, high degree of variability, but the

1048
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 1: matchup very strong. Dallas allows the second most fantasy points

1049
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: to receivers. Brown runs from all over the field, but

1050
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: most often he'll see him he'll match up against back

1051
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: up cornerback Anthony Brown, who has allowed three scores in

1052
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: the past two games. So I like, I like Marquise

1053
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown here, and he's got to be grade for me.

1054
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews another guy where we hope and expect to

1055
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 1: get through the COVID protocol by this time time for

1056
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 1: the game. If he plays, he faces a super rising

1057
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,760
Speaker 1: the solid tight end defense giving up just four receptions

1058
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 1: per game to the position, but they give up touchdowns.

1059
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 1: And that's why we're starting Andrews anyway. Andrews always a

1060
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 1: threat in the red zone. He's seeing thirty of the

1061
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,879
Speaker 1: team's target inside the twenty. That's fifth most across all

1062
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 1: NFL teams. So we'll start Andrews here with a B grade.

1063
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: And the aforementioned JK. Dobbins we just talked about him.

1064
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: We hope that he's going to go back to getting

1065
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: the high usage that he had, and I've got a

1066
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: C grade on him here. In the two games where

1067
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: Dobbins saw at least fifteen touches, he averaged one hundred

1068
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: three total yards and he played of the snaps. Let's

1069
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:39,959
Speaker 1: just keep our fingers crossed that that's gonna happen here again.

1070
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have allowed four of the past six starting

1071
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: running backs they face to put up a hundred fifteen

1072
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:48,919
Speaker 1: rushing yards. They're vulnerable to bell cows. Please make JK.

1073
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 1: Dobbins the bell cow. Greg Roman, we're begging Ingram and

1074
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 1: Edwards are on the bench. As previously discussed, when we

1075
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, a big block of

1076
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 1: matchups for you, including the New York Giants and the

1077
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. I think Chris Carson is one of the

1078
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: trickiest guys to figure out across the entire slate of games.

1079
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: This week, Brian Johnson will tell you whether or not

1080
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: you can start Chris Carson when we come back to

1081
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Fantasy Football Weekly returns, We've got three

1082
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 1: matchups for you in this segment, beginning with the Giants

1083
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: taking on the Seattle Seahawks. Brian, for the Giants, it's

1084
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: gonna be Colt McCoy at the helm, and I think

1085
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: that pretty much means we're not starting any part of

1086
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: that passing offense. Would the possible exception of van van Ingram,

1087
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: What do you think. Yeah, I will say Daniel Jones

1088
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: put in a limited practice on Friday, he's doubtful. But

1089
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: even if he plays, you're not wanting to play Daniel Jones,

1090
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: nor Colton McCoy if he's the starter against the Seahawks,

1091
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 1: who have just been giving it up in masses through

1092
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: the air, but not so much a lot better. Yeah,

1093
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: and that's coincided with the return of strong safety Jamal Adams,

1094
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:29,440
Speaker 1: who is all the world. So for that reason, Darius Slayton,

1095
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd, Golden Tate, I'm gonna give them all a sea.

1096
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: They're not all going to get I'm not touching those

1097
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: guys with Colton McCoy, it's really it's Sterling Shepherd's only

1098
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: when I would give a soft seat. Two, I will

1099
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: bench Slaton Tate, even though Tate led the team in

1100
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: targets with nine last week, a lot of them coming

1101
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: when cold McCoy entered the game. And don't forget this

1102
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 1: is a revenge game for Golden Tate going back to Seattle.

1103
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: But all right, you talking about that, they're all on

1104
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: the bench. Seattle. They used to give up like through

1105
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 1: they don't now. Jamal Adams has returned that to everybody

1106
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 1: who started. Travis Folgum or we'll talk about the Eagles

1107
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers later in the show. How bad they are,

1108
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 1: so I'll put them all on the bench. They are.

1109
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: They all are double ds though in my mind daily

1110
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 1: darts for the Giants wide receivers and a matchup that

1111
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: has gotten tougher. But so Evan Ingram, though we'll give

1112
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 1: him the start, can give him a B. Jamal Adams

1113
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: isn't shadowing tight ends. He's plugging like all the other

1114
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: holes in the secondary Right now, Ingram has at least

1115
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: nine targets, and four of his last five games the

1116
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: Seahawks allowed the most yards per catch to the position.

1117
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard just had a great game against Seattle. So

1118
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: love Ingram here with it be even with Colt McCoy

1119
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: at quarterback and Wayne Gallman lastly for the Giants. Just

1120
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: to see here, he has scored in five straight games

1121
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: for the longest current streak among running backs. But two

1122
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 1: major red flags here. One is Colt McCoy of course,

1123
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 1: in that whole offense, and no one runs against Seattle.

1124
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: Opponents are only running the ball thirty three percent of

1125
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: the time against the Seas So Gallman's carries have increased

1126
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 1: week over a week, but again not a great matchup.

1127
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: But the volume will still be there, but it won't

1128
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: be as much as we're used to. So just to

1129
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 1: see for Gallman over to the Seahawks side, Chris Carson

1130
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 1: going to give him a be despite only seeing of

1131
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: the snaps last week. But he did look good when

1132
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: he was on the field. You have to think they

1133
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: might have been easing him back into action a little bit.

1134
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 1: I think he'll see more work against the Giants, but

1135
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: it's not a great matchup. Only one running back has

1136
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 1: topped hundred yards against New York and against New York,

1137
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 1: and only two loan backs have gotten more than fourteen carries.

1138
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: That speaks to no one going over a hundred yards.

1139
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: But there's just not a lot of volume for featuring

1140
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 1: runners against New York. But the Giants have surrendered the

1141
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: sixth most receptions and second most receiving arts to running backs.

1142
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 1: So be for Chris Carson. I got Carlos Hide on

1143
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: the bench though less Carson, I'm just I'm so nervous

1144
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be another I mean, hid got like

1145
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: two thirds of the work last week. I'm worried it's

1146
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: gonna be closer to Carson owner like everywhere. I'm so

1147
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: nervous that it's gonna be like fifty fifty between the

1148
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 1: two of them, and they both just sort of dud well.

1149
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: Hide's got a toe issue that popped up late and

1150
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 1: last week's game too, he's supposedly gonna play about. I

1151
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: am concerned for Carson as you are, but I'm still

1152
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 1: starting Carson bention Hyde uh DK Matt Metcalf. Of course

1153
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: we're starting him, but just gonna give him a be

1154
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: here because he's gonna get shadowed by James Bradberry and

1155
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a fun matchup to watch. Since

1156
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 1: week to brad Berry has allowed less than fifty yards

1157
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: in coverage in every game and just one touchdown during

1158
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: that span. And Bradberry is a big dude six one

1159
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: two ten, but he's a guard in DK. Metcalf is

1160
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 1: a power forward in basketball. So I still like Metcalf

1161
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: a lot here, but temporaryr expectations a little bit. They

1162
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: met each other last year when Bradbury was with and

1163
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 1: Bradberry held him to two catches thirty one yards. Now

1164
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,919
Speaker 1: did get a score in the two catches, but still,

1165
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: and you know, different teams, and you know Metcalf is

1166
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: better this year, but still, that was a one on

1167
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: one matchup that Bradbury did pretty well. And Tyler Lockett

1168
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: is way better when he plays the Arizona Cardinals. His

1169
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: last non cardinal games, last six non cardinal opponents, Locket

1170
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: has cleared fifty yards just once and has not scored

1171
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 1: during that span against non cardinal opponents. I gotta thank

1172
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: Pete Harrington from guillotine leagues for that one. The Giant

1173
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: secondary has played well lately, only allowing two receivers to

1174
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: reach seventy five yards over the past six games, but

1175
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,959
Speaker 1: lock It will mostly see rookie slot corner Darnay Holmes,

1176
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: who was allowing a seventy six percent completion rate in

1177
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 1: his coverage. I think, uh, it feels like a Lockett

1178
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: having a better game than Metcalf kind of day, But

1179
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,040
Speaker 1: you never know. But I'm still starting Locket with some confidence,

1180
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: and I'll start Russell Wilson of course with more confidence

1181
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 1: than lock It. A strong be here over the last

1182
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 1: three weeks, Seattle's bottom ten in passing play percentage after

1183
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: throwing the ball like pent At the time and Wilson's

1184
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: number have. Wilson's numbers have definitely suffered during that span,

1185
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: and nobody has topped two touchdowns against New York since

1186
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: the opener, and only Tom Brady and Carson Wentz up

1187
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: top two yards against them since Week three, But to

1188
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: eighty and two still feels like a safe floor for

1189
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: Wilson in this one. Newly takes on the charger Scott

1190
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting on a Damien Harris vibe in this game.

1191
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm I kind of like them both and White sure

1192
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 1: and Rex Burkhad being out his simplified matters White it

1193
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 1: is and my concern, and they've been talking about how

1194
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: worried they are about botha In that pass stich, I

1195
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 1: can see Cam Newton dropping back, dumping it off to

1196
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: Harrison White quite a bit in this game. Harris rarely catches,

1197
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: but yes, I agree. Yeah, so I've i've C grades

1198
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 1: on both Harris and White. Harris is gonna get more volume,

1199
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 1: maybe some goal line work if Cam doesn't take it,

1200
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: White's gonna get the catches. Um, I've I have Harris

1201
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 1: with fifteen plus touches, uh and C grade there. Yeah,

1202
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 1: so C grades on both of them. Cam Newton, I'm

1203
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: giving him a C grade two. He's had a seaworthy

1204
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: grade on rushing alone, not just kind of his passing game,

1205
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 1: passing yard, just his rushing a seaworthy grade in six

1206
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 1: of his nine fall games. So then you have the

1207
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 1: passing on to that. That's basically all it is. Charges

1208
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 1: have allowed four different quarterbacks to rush one in. Uh, so,

1209
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 1: I guess I still got to give Cam the sea,

1210
01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 1: but I don't love it. Wide receivers I don't even care.

1211
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: I don't even care about they keep handling non functional

1212
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: passer in today's NFL. How do you get to Week

1213
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 1: thirteen with all the advantages that a quarterback has with

1214
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: four touchdown passes. Yeah, it's mind boggling. It's staggering ineptitude

1215
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 1: as a passer. These these target catching yards leaders flip weekly,

1216
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 1: and since Week five, no wide receiver has topped eighty

1217
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 1: two yards on the Chargers. It's not a good spot

1218
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 1: for them. On the other side, Herbert once again, he

1219
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 1: has had three yards and or multiple scores in let

1220
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: me check my notes again every single game this year.

1221
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 1: You can't you can't ever mention he's an A grade.

1222
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen's inn A grade even though he's gonna get

1223
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: a lot of Gilmore, who does shadow. And I just

1224
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 1: saw this this week and I didn't realize it. Stephan

1225
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,919
Speaker 1: Gilmore was the number six ranked PF slot corner last

1226
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: year and he doesn't He's not stot doesn't pay. That's

1227
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: how good he is when he's in this lot. I

1228
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 1: don't care. Ellen plays from the slot a lot. Yeah,

1229
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 1: I just don't know how much Gilmore he sees in

1230
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: this game. If Gilmore shadows him, I don't care. Still,

1231
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna get ten plus targets because he gets ten

1232
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 1: plus targets every game. A grade there, Mike Williams, I'm

1233
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 1: giving a C grade to two dods in the last

1234
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: three isn't great. But if Gilmore, when Gilmore does get

1235
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: on Allen, or even if he is on Williams, Gilmore

1236
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: is allowed a hundred and eighty or so yards around

1237
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: just under a hundred eight yards in the last three games.

1238
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 1: And Mike Williams is a great contested catch wide receiver.

1239
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: I think he can get his Uh. Williams will get

1240
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 1: five to seven targets. He's top seventy yards and three

1241
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 1: of the last five. That's sea level right there. Uh,

1242
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry last three games are really encouraging. It was

1243
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: bad early in the season, but recently thirty in a touch,

1244
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 1: forty in a touch, seven for sixty seven last week.

1245
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: His usage is going up. He's played of the snaps

1246
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 1: in the last five games. Although Arizona and tight ends

1247
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 1: did minimal last week, Houston and Baltimore lit up the

1248
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: Patriots the two prior weeks. Uh. Just to be grade here,

1249
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 1: though New England's only surrendered one tight end touchdown and

1250
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler I'm back to an A grade with played

1251
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: sent of snaps, twenty five touches in his return. Every

1252
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 1: running back who's top thirteen touches on the Patriots had

1253
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:21,439
Speaker 1: eighty plus yards had eleven catches last week. He looked great.

1254
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 1: He e You would never have known he had. He's

1255
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 1: it was a first game back off a massive hamstring.

1256
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna double that. He's gonna double that thirteen touches.

1257
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm I'm on board. Broncos taking on the

1258
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:36,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs in a rematch from earlier this year. Only a

1259
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 1: couple of starters on the Denver side in the passing game. UM,

1260
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 1: let's begin with Drew Lock, who was on the bench.

1261
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: He's expected to return from the COVID list. He's been

1262
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 1: a wreck, completing just fifty five percent of his passes

1263
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: and averaging just one touchdown per game. He's only playable

1264
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: in the easiest of matchups. And this is not it.

1265
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,919
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy was just a C grade, not counting last

1266
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 1: week's offensive debacle for Denver. Judy average sixty yards per

1267
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 1: game with two scores in his previous six games, which

1268
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 1: is okay, sixty yards and less than a coin flips

1269
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 1: chance at a touchdown. He'll aim to keep that consistency

1270
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 1: going against Kansas City, a secondary that held him to

1271
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 1: just twenty scoreless yards in the first game. Judy will

1272
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 1: face most often utility defensive back Tyrone Matthew in the slot,

1273
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 1: who's allowed one score in his last six games. So

1274
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,680
Speaker 1: just the C grade on Judy a C grade on

1275
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: Noah Fant. He has not scored since Week two, which

1276
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 1: is bad, and he did very little in the first matchup.

1277
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:31,680
Speaker 1: That's bad too. Fortunately, Chiefs are getting hammered by tight

1278
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 1: ends lately, giving up monster games to Rob Gronkowski and

1279
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: Darren Waller over the past two weeks. Fan's been playing

1280
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: gamely through an ankle injury. Is expected to start here,

1281
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: but I don't think that ankles fully healed yet either,

1282
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 1: So a C grade for Noah Fanse. Let's talk about

1283
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 1: the running game. We think Philip Lindsay is gonna play,

1284
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 1: but we don't know for sure. You're gonna need to

1285
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: watch this one down to game time decision level. If um,

1286
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:59,799
Speaker 1: if Lindsay doesn't end up going, you could start Gordon.

1287
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,360
Speaker 1: He's been a complete dud in four of the past

1288
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 1: five games. I think to my eyes he looks pretty slow,

1289
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: pretty powerless. He hasn't caught a passing in three games,

1290
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:11,639
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs have not let a back top seventy

1291
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 1: seven rushing yards in seven games. If Lindsay's out, then

1292
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 1: we'll give a C grade to Gordon, and otherwise he's out.

1293
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:21,719
Speaker 1: Is the one game that Lindsay was inactive for earlier.

1294
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:24,600
Speaker 1: Gordon posted season highs and carry's yards and touchdowns, and

1295
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 1: that's really what he needs to be fantasy relevant. And

1296
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 1: for Lindsay, he's going to be out either way if

1297
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 1: he if he tries to play or not, we will

1298
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 1: not start him. So let's go over to Kansas City

1299
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:37,560
Speaker 1: and this won't take long. Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, and

1300
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. They are all ranked number one at their

1301
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:45,479
Speaker 1: positions by me at Guillotine leagues dot com. Kelsey's wide

1302
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 1: receiver for right now, I believe unbelievable. Biggest positional differentiator

1303
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 1: in football is Travis Kelsey. And it's not close. We

1304
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: say it every year and that nobody wants, nobody's willing

1305
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: to draft him in the first half of the first round.

1306
01:09:57,600 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 1: What Tyree Hill is going to do to slot cornerback

1307
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 1: he saying bassie should be illegal even in Colorado. M

1308
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: Staying with the passing games, Sammy Watkins gets a C grade.

1309
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 1: He's always a dark throw. He did little in the

1310
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 1: first game back, did little in his first game back

1311
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: last week. The Broncos only good quarnerback Bryce Callahan is

1312
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 1: gonna miss this game. So you want to try Sammy Watkins? Fine,

1313
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, I think so. It's gonna be so easy

1314
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 1: to find Hill and Kelsey, they won't need Watkins. But

1315
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,640
Speaker 1: then again, maybe his turn does really well historically in

1316
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 1: Week thirteen matches Week one, uh. And then lastly, this

1317
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 1: could be a Clyde Edwards a layer game as well. Now,

1318
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:37,760
Speaker 1: volume is always a concern for Clyde, but I can

1319
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 1: live with his recent usage, which is twelve touches and

1320
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:43,640
Speaker 1: fifteen touches. That's enough to get him to viability. I

1321
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 1: also like his three touchdowns in the last three games

1322
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:50,600
Speaker 1: for Clyde. The Broncos run defense was overrun over the

1323
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: last few games by both Las Vegas and New Orleans,

1324
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:56,640
Speaker 1: and they've allowed nine scores to running backs in the

1325
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: last six games. So I kind of like Clyde Edwards

1326
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,719
Speaker 1: a layer here more than I have. The last several games.

1327
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,720
Speaker 1: He has been sick. They they've been talking about being

1328
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:06,559
Speaker 1: worried how much he's going to be able to play

1329
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:09,639
Speaker 1: correct and we'll monitor that up to kick off, assuming

1330
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 1: he's ready for maintain the workload he normally he has

1331
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 1: been getting. I like him. Now do you like Levian Bell,

1332
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: who apparently he's the next guy who's gonna fight this

1333
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:23,720
Speaker 1: logan Paul YouTuber guy coming up? I like him more

1334
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: in that matchup than I do in this one. Man,

1335
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: if you would have sold on LEVI on Bell at

1336
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 1: the moment the Chiefs picked him out, you could almost

1337
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: named your price on Bell. And he has done nothing nothing.

1338
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,400
Speaker 1: It's all about striking at the right moment. You'll be

1339
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 1: striking at the right moment. We come back from the

1340
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:46,640
Speaker 1: final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly, as we covered the

1341
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 1: final three matchups, including the Eagles taking on the Packers.

1342
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 1: What to expect from Miles Sanders when we return to

1343
01:11:54,280 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul

1344
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:21,679
Speaker 1: Charchi in, Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you. Thank

1345
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 1: you for joining us. If you are listening to this

1346
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 1: show over the air, know that you can hear the

1347
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: whole thing back by a podcast, Fantasy Football Weekly and

1348
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 1: whatever your preferred podcasting medium is. We've got three matchups

1349
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 1: to wrap up the show. No premature speculation, which normally

1350
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:41,920
Speaker 1: during the season goes into this spot until about this

1351
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 1: stage of the season when we have more games to

1352
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 1: talk about and the it's no longer really picking up

1353
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 1: guys for the rest of the year as much because

1354
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 1: there's just not that much time left. Our next matchup

1355
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 1: is the Philadelphia Eagles against the Green Bay Packers. The

1356
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: way to beat the Packers is to run the ball?

1357
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,600
Speaker 1: Is this a Mile Sanders game? Brian, I wish I

1358
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:03,720
Speaker 1: had the answer for you. We're gonna assume it is,

1359
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,679
Speaker 1: even though his touches since returning from injury have gone

1360
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 1: down from seventy seven to seventy to just fifty percent

1361
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 1: last week's all the while Boston Scotts have gone up

1362
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:16,680
Speaker 1: eighteen percent to thirty percent to percent. But like you said,

1363
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 1: it's a good spot and the only way to really

1364
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 1: beat Green Bay is running the ball. The Packers allow

1365
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:23,519
Speaker 1: one fifty seven combo yards per game to running back slot,

1366
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 1: the third most, the third most, and three straight opposing

1367
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:28,760
Speaker 1: starting running backs up top two hundred combo yards. But

1368
01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:31,400
Speaker 1: be wary of Boston Scott. He was might take a

1369
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 1: chance of me running back. I think he's heavily evolved

1370
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: in the receiving game in this one, as Philly plays

1371
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 1: from behind. Uh Dallas got Sanders can catch, by the way, Yeah,

1372
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean you know, you know you can pass to him.

1373
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: But he's been out targeted by Boston Scott and basically

1374
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:48,800
Speaker 1: every game they played recently. So there we go. Uh

1375
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard might get out targeted by zach Ertz, who

1376
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 1: is making his return. I'm not gonna starts in this one.

1377
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 1: I gotta see something from him first. They might ease

1378
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,879
Speaker 1: him back in. I will give Goddar to see despite

1379
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay allowing the fourth fewest receptions, seventh fewest yards,

1380
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: and the eighth fewest touchdowns to tight ends just three

1381
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 1: on the year, but the competition hasn't been great at

1382
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 1: the tight end level. The Colts tight ends did combine

1383
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 1: for forty seven yards and two touchdowns against the Packers

1384
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:20,599
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, so I'll give Goddard to see here.

1385
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 1: But again, I'm worried about the Earth's factor here. Uh,

1386
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:25,680
Speaker 1: He's not gonna blow up like he did last week.

1387
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 1: Got her that is, And the Eagles wide receivers did

1388
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:31,639
Speaker 1: not blow up last week, totaling forty six yards against

1389
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,719
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, who were allowing forty six yards per catch

1390
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 1: earlier in the season. I'm not sure Jayer Alexander is

1391
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 1: gonna shadow any of these scrubs, but he'll essentially cut

1392
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 1: the field and half. So they're all on the bench.

1393
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:50,719
Speaker 1: Long story short Jalen Rieker, Alejan Jeffrey, Travis Fulgham, Greg Ward,

1394
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 1: even Marky Mark he's on the bench. Carson bench, he

1395
01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 1: is on the bench. No guarantee even finishes this game,

1396
01:14:57,320 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 1: So an easy bench for Carson here over the Green

1397
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:01,400
Speaker 1: Bay side Aaron Jones and to give him a B.

1398
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 1: Philly has been tough against the run for the most

1399
01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 1: part half, but they've been vulnerable as of late, as

1400
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: the last last three starting running backs they face have

1401
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 1: either topped one yards or scored a touchdown. Last week

1402
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. Jones saw the most rushing attempts and rushing

1403
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:19,560
Speaker 1: yards since Week two. But Jamal Williams will continue to

1404
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 1: steal couches touches because you know why, Fish, He's pretty

1405
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 1: good football player. Jamal love him. We all love Davante Adams.

1406
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 1: He gets an a. Adams has nine scores over his

1407
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:34,800
Speaker 1: last six games, finding paydirt at least one once in everyone.

1408
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 1: He's also averaging a hundred nine yards over that span.

1409
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,599
Speaker 1: He's essentially matchup proof at this point. But whatever, here's

1410
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 1: some analysis anyways. Philly has allowed only two receivers to

1411
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:46,000
Speaker 1: reach seventy five yards over the last six games and

1412
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:48,840
Speaker 1: have only allowed one receiver to score over their last four.

1413
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:51,800
Speaker 1: We can expect Adams to see shadow coverage from Darius Slay,

1414
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 1: but he just got flamed by DK mattcalf And again,

1415
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 1: I don't care what the opposition does against receivers. You're

1416
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 1: gonna start Davante Adams with confidence. I'm starting album's art

1417
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 1: with confidence to at least a sea level. Confidence. Last

1418
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: week was confidence, there you go. Last week it was

1419
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:07,600
Speaker 1: ardrew six targets and found the end zone on just

1420
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 1: a forty six percent snap. Sherry should see more work

1421
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:13,519
Speaker 1: in this one, and he draws a favorable matchup with

1422
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 1: Avante Maddox, who is allowing seventy of his passes to

1423
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:18,800
Speaker 1: be completed in his coverage in a passer rating of

1424
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 1: one oh seven. Lastly, for the past catchers, Robert Tonyan

1425
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 1: can give him a B. Philly hasn't allowed a tight

1426
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 1: end touchdown and its last five games, but they have

1427
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:31,719
Speaker 1: allowed the seventh most receptions to the position on the season,

1428
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 1: and Tonyan is just a mountain has a catch rate

1429
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 1: which will play nicely against former slot corner Jalen Mills,

1430
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 1: who concedes five inches and fifty pounds to Tonyons, Mike

1431
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 1: and Tonian in this matchup, and Aaron Rodgers. A. Philly

1432
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 1: has allowed only one passing touchdown over the last four

1433
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 1: games that went to Russell Wilson, but the other three

1434
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks they faced where Benda Nuci, Daniel Jones and Baker

1435
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: Mayfield in the infamous Monsoon. So we like a a

1436
01:16:57,360 --> 01:17:00,160
Speaker 1: Ron here next match, I'll give him the art work

1437
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 1: just for Matt Fantasy yard Park. There we go, the

1438
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 1: Fantasy hard Park. How did I miss this? I was

1439
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:12,639
Speaker 1: gonna say, I sleep walking through through the air assumed

1440
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: he was hybridating. I was gonna say, must have been rid.

1441
01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:17,639
Speaker 1: You know the weather is getting colder. Now we're in December.

1442
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:24,720
Speaker 1: You can't let me forget the up Bill's taken. The

1443
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 1: forty nine defense, got Richard Sherman back and immediately looked

1444
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,920
Speaker 1: dramatically better last week. What do you think about his

1445
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:34,280
Speaker 1: opportunity the opportunities for the past. I want to start

1446
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 1: with the passing game and Josh Allen in particular, as

1447
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 1: he's got to try to beat Sherman. So Josh Allen

1448
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:43,800
Speaker 1: has just one game where he didn't have multiple touchdowns

1449
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: on a one way or the other. And in that

1450
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 1: one game seven yards passing in sixty one rushing. So

1451
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 1: the one game he didn't throw multiple touchdowns, He's still

1452
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 1: had a good game. Uh. That said, Ellen's five worst

1453
01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:01,559
Speaker 1: games in the Fantasy in this year. We're with John

1454
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:05,400
Speaker 1: Brown out like all the one through five, the worst

1455
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 1: games he's played this year. We're with they're still good games,

1456
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:10,799
Speaker 1: but they were with John Brown out, so you're ceiling

1457
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:12,880
Speaker 1: has to come down a little bit. I'm giving Allen

1458
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:16,720
Speaker 1: a B here. Is the tenth best against fantasy quarterbacks

1459
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 1: have held seven teams under two yards passing, but the

1460
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 1: rushing floor helps uh. San Francisco allows the most rushing

1461
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 1: yards two quarterbacks and the most rushing attempts, so be

1462
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 1: great for Alan. I'm giving Digs the B grade. He

1463
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:36,599
Speaker 1: has six or more catches uh in every single game

1464
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 1: since Week three. He has a tough match up here

1465
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:42,799
Speaker 1: with Sherman, but Sherman wasn't able to clamp down super

1466
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 1: great last week, even though overall they kept him down.

1467
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 1: Um Uh. Last last week was the yardage dud for Digs.

1468
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,320
Speaker 1: But he gets the volumes and he gets the catches.

1469
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 1: As I said, six plus catches you're getting you're getting

1470
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 1: points out of him. Segret for Gabriel Davis, who's gonna

1471
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: take a chance on me? Player Cole Beasley I have

1472
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 1: on the bench. Is the best game for a slot

1473
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:10,679
Speaker 1: guy against San Francisco this entire year? Forty one yards

1474
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: and none of them scored, not one so bench grade

1475
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: for Beasley. I'm sorry, charge, I have Mosson Singletary on

1476
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:23,840
Speaker 1: the bench after they've nervous tough matchup. They flipped again

1477
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 1: in touches. Moss led once again in snaps, but they

1478
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:30,800
Speaker 1: flipped again in touches. Only two running backs of top

1479
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 1: sixty five yards rushing against Santranc, So, uh, they're both

1480
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 1: on the bench. On the other side, Nick Mullins A great, No,

1481
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 1: just see if you're awake. I mean the whole air

1482
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 1: bear thing. I just don't know if you're awake over

1483
01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 1: there right now. So alright, As mentioned last week, the

1484
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: Bills are bottom ten against fantasy quarterbacks as they've given

1485
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:58,639
Speaker 1: up the most rushing touchdowns and tenth most rushing yards. Uh.

1486
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:02,719
Speaker 1: Two quarterbacks it through the air. They're actually pretty decent.

1487
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: So that's why Mullins is getting the bench. I don't

1488
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 1: expect him to run all over the field. Curtis Samuel

1489
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 1: and Brandon Au however, I do have sea grades on

1490
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 1: now that they're both going to play. They're both just

1491
01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 1: too good of playmakers. Samuel, Yeah, Samuel erupted getting thirteen

1492
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:23,919
Speaker 1: targets with ayuk out and I with Samuel got fourteen

1493
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 1: targets that I think even if they now they split

1494
01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:30,640
Speaker 1: him seven seven, yeah, seven eight targets for each this

1495
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:33,920
Speaker 1: week with them both in that's that's good enough volume

1496
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 1: to probably see a ce I figured with one of

1497
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 1: those touches, and they both run the ball too. With

1498
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 1: one of those touches. Somewhere, they're gonna break something to

1499
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:45,320
Speaker 1: get see where they good? Did Deebo Samuel look last

1500
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:47,960
Speaker 1: He's finally healthy, right off the foot injury from the

1501
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:50,439
Speaker 1: preseason and you know the various other things he's had.

1502
01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:52,719
Speaker 1: He came out. I thought he looked fantastic. He looked

1503
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:56,080
Speaker 1: like one of the least fun guys to tackle receivers.

1504
01:20:57,040 --> 01:21:00,120
Speaker 1: He did last year too. Yeah, he looked just like

1505
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: the guy that was just steamrolling opponents in the in

1506
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs in the second half of last year. Reminds

1507
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:08,840
Speaker 1: me of an Kuan Bold in a little bits I

1508
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:10,720
Speaker 1: was gonna say next year, I wouldn't be shocked if

1509
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:12,640
Speaker 1: we're talking about him in the likes of the A. J.

1510
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:19,559
Speaker 1: Browns and the McLarens and stuff like that. I wouldn't. Yes, Uh,

1511
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 1: Jordan Reed, I got a B grade on a couple

1512
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. I said he's a prespect get him

1513
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:26,600
Speaker 1: for this last couple of games. Stretch run and it

1514
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 1: starts here. Uh six targets and back to back games.

1515
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,680
Speaker 1: The Bills are third worst against tight ends, allowing the

1516
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: second most yards. Two of the last three starters top

1517
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 1: six yards, and they've had seven tight ends top sixty

1518
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 1: yards and or score against them. We mentioned earlier. Sixty

1519
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 1: yards for a tight end is a pretty dang good game.

1520
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 1: That's a B grade there where he mostard, I'm giving

1521
01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 1: a B grade too. He only played twenty nine snaps,

1522
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 1: but he got eighteen touches. When she means when he

1523
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:55,400
Speaker 1: was on the field, they were getting him the touches.

1524
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:57,400
Speaker 1: It was his first game back. I think he'll get

1525
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 1: more work this time somehow, uh fled uh San Francisco

1526
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:04,800
Speaker 1: running backs and snaps and usage. In the last five games,

1527
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:09,360
Speaker 1: four running backs had fifteen plus torches against the Buffalo Bills.

1528
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:11,800
Speaker 1: All of them had a hundred plus yards. Most of

1529
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 1: it's getting that fifteen plus, yeah, most of it's gonna

1530
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:17,760
Speaker 1: be A guy who's gonna sneaky power teams through the

1531
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:23,000
Speaker 1: playoffs is traded. I like it. Our final matchup is

1532
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:27,080
Speaker 1: the Washington football team and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Let's start

1533
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:29,840
Speaker 1: on the Washington side. Alex Smith is on the bench.

1534
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:32,760
Speaker 1: He is a game manager. He throws short passes with

1535
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:36,720
Speaker 1: a few touchdowns, and he has a bad matchup. Is

1536
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:38,519
Speaker 1: the only receiver of his that you want to start

1537
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver Terry McLaurin. Of course, he's got an ankle injury,

1538
01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:43,920
Speaker 1: but expected to play through it, averaging nine seven yards

1539
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 1: over the past four games catching those slow motion wobblers

1540
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 1: from Alex Smith. He's also had at least seven catches

1541
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 1: or eighty four yards in six straight games. I mean

1542
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 1: he just, regardless of opponent, Terry McLaren finds a way

1543
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 1: to get it done. Steelers have a good past defense,

1544
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:03,000
Speaker 1: but opposing number one receivers have had some success, including

1545
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 1: Marks Brown last Wednesday and Tee Higgins a couple of

1546
01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 1: weeks before that. So we'll we'll keep the B grade

1547
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:11,679
Speaker 1: on Terry McLaurin in this one. The only other quasi

1548
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 1: receiver we've got his tight end Logan Thomas. It's a

1549
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 1: it's a brutal matchup. I don't like it at all

1550
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 1: that From that respect, Pittsburgh's allowing the second fewest receptions

1551
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 1: and the third fewest yards to opposing tight ends and

1552
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:24,519
Speaker 1: just one score all year. But this year's tight end

1553
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 1: landscape is so bad you probably need to start a

1554
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,719
Speaker 1: guy who has at least sixty yards or a score

1555
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 1: and four of his last six games, So in a pinch,

1556
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:34,679
Speaker 1: you probably need to start Logan Thomas, and I'm giving

1557
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 1: him a C grade only because it's such a dry

1558
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: year at the position. And then Antonio Gibson. He's been

1559
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 1: much better lately, but he's been dominating bad teams. The

1560
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,400
Speaker 1: Steelers allow the seventh fewest rushing yards per game to

1561
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 1: opposing running backs, and in Pittsburgh's last month of games,

1562
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:56,840
Speaker 1: no back has stop seventy three yards. Guess Gus Edwards

1563
01:23:56,920 --> 01:23:59,720
Speaker 1: got a goal line plunge last Wednesday afternoon. That's the

1564
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 1: only score in the last month against them. Gibson's a

1565
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:07,600
Speaker 1: very good talent, but I'm not I'm nervous about this

1566
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 1: game still. I think he gets enough usage here and

1567
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:13,240
Speaker 1: especially on the ground, that he should be playable. Pittsburgh's

1568
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:15,960
Speaker 1: great against receiving running backs, and I've got a bench

1569
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 1: grade on j. D. Mckissic, who has done very little

1570
01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 1: for two straight games. Let's go to the Pittsburgh side.

1571
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:26,679
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger gets a B grade. Pittsburgh is the perfect

1572
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 1: team to neutralize what Washington does best Defensively. Washington, they've

1573
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:36,679
Speaker 1: got the four first round picks on their defensive line.

1574
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:39,960
Speaker 1: They create a ton of pressure, but Ben gets rid

1575
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 1: of the ball quickly. He has the league's fastest throwing

1576
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:46,839
Speaker 1: time at two point to nine seconds per next Jen Stats.

1577
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:52,240
Speaker 1: What's more, Pittsburgh ranks number two in pass blocking. The

1578
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:55,439
Speaker 1: Washington secondary is going to have is gonna need to

1579
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 1: hold their coverage for longer than their used to, and

1580
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:01,280
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna open up some avenues for Ben Roethlisberger.

1581
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 1: So who's he gonna throw to? Well, Deonte Johnson is

1582
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 1: coming up this horrible game where he dropped more balls

1583
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,760
Speaker 1: than a Hernia specialist. He had three drops in two

1584
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:14,560
Speaker 1: potential fumbles in that game. But on the balance of

1585
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:18,639
Speaker 1: the year, Johnson has been uber reliable. He'll face both

1586
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:21,479
Speaker 1: Kendall Fuller and Ronald Darby on the outside. Darby has

1587
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 1: allowed just one score in the past seven games, but

1588
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:25,960
Speaker 1: Fuller has been tagged for three scores in three weeks.

1589
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 1: So I've got a B grade in Deonte Johnson and

1590
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:30,800
Speaker 1: hopefully he bounces back. I do worry that, like what

1591
01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 1: happens if he drops his first pass at at him?

1592
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: Does Ben even look his way again? That worries me

1593
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:40,679
Speaker 1: about Johnson. In fairness, everyone was dropping passes Sitsburgh and West,

1594
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 1: Team Ebron, Claypool, they all Chase somebody said tweeted seven

1595
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:50,559
Speaker 1: drop passes in one game. Chase Claypool be great here.

1596
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 1: You start him because he scores touchdowns. Washington's only allowed

1597
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 1: seven scores opposing wide receivers, which is third fewest. On

1598
01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,719
Speaker 1: top of that, they've given up just one yard receiver

1599
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:02,400
Speaker 1: that was a Marie Cooper just one week ago. So

1600
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:04,760
Speaker 1: I don't love Claypool here, but he's just been so

1601
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:07,680
Speaker 1: consistent with scoring. I've gotta be grade on him. Uh.

1602
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:09,840
Speaker 1: And then Juju Smith Schuster a C grade. He has

1603
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:12,240
Speaker 1: been very consistent. He's been the least consistent of the

1604
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 1: Steelers receivers. And Juju will face Jimmy Morland in the slot.

1605
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: He hasn't given up a touchdown all year. So just

1606
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:21,800
Speaker 1: the C grade on Juju Smith Schuster. And then there's

1607
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:24,960
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron, who you touched on tight ends are responsible

1608
01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:28,200
Speaker 1: for two of the receiving yards that Washington has allowed.

1609
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 1: That is the fifth highest ratio. Washington has allowed averages

1610
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:35,920
Speaker 1: of five catches, fifty yards and half a touchdown to

1611
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 1: the position. That gives Eric Ebron a C grade. Let's

1612
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:44,880
Speaker 1: go to the running backs, Connor and Snell. So Connor

1613
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:47,599
Speaker 1: is in the COVID protocol um and since this game

1614
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 1: is Monday night, you may not know whether or not

1615
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 1: he's going to be the starter. So whether it's Snell

1616
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 1: or Connor, it's a tough matchup against the Washington run

1617
01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:59,679
Speaker 1: defense that allows the sixth fewest fantasy points to running backs.

1618
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,879
Speaker 1: Only Nick Chubb is top eighty six rushing yards against

1619
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:05,840
Speaker 1: Washington in their last eleven their eleven games this year,

1620
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 1: and they've been especially tough lately. Washington's only given up

1621
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 1: two scores to backs in their last six games. So

1622
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:15,679
Speaker 1: I've got a C grade on Connor if he goes,

1623
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 1: and then you bench Snell if Connor doesn't go. A

1624
01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:22,560
Speaker 1: C grade on Snell makes sense. I don't like you

1625
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:24,760
Speaker 1: the one much and you're not gonna again Monday night.

1626
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:26,920
Speaker 1: You may not know what Connor status is when you

1627
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 1: need to set your lineup. I wanted more Anthony McFarland too,

1628
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 1: in that Ravens like that. I thought it looked okay

1629
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:36,640
Speaker 1: to whatever. Um, We've got just a moment here at

1630
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:40,839
Speaker 1: the end of the show, give me a player Dynasty

1631
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:44,040
Speaker 1: and Empire league owners could pick up now that's widely

1632
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:46,400
Speaker 1: available that you will be glad you have on your

1633
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 1: roster next summer. See, I was thinking more if it's

1634
01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 1: if it's a Shower or if it's a Empire or something.

1635
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 1: I think. I think at the end of the season

1636
01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,920
Speaker 1: here A J. Dillon needs to get on rosters. He's

1637
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 1: going to be the only Packer under contract, packer running

1638
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:06,200
Speaker 1: back under contract next year because contracts are up on

1639
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:08,760
Speaker 1: Jones and Williams and they need that money to sign

1640
01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:12,479
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster. Right, they might go signed Juju Smith Schuster.

1641
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:15,920
Speaker 1: That might be, but I mean I think they keep

1642
01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:18,920
Speaker 1: Williams because he'll be cheaper. Packers keep Williams. They let

1643
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones go because Aaron Jones thinks he should get

1644
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,240
Speaker 1: a Dalvin Cook style contract, and I don't think it's

1645
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:25,439
Speaker 1: gonna happen. We'll find out if that plays out. But

1646
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:27,719
Speaker 1: I like that A J. Dillon. That makes some sense.
