Good day. There you go. That's 21 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: that's generic. We can we can sider to go with 22 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: that absolutely. Um. As always, over the course of the show, 23 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna break down all the games. This is the 24 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: first time in the twenty plus year history of the 25 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: show we've ever had sixteen matchups to do because there's 26 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: always there's always been a Thursday night game in Week 27 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: sixteen until now. So we gotta jam in a bunch 28 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: of content into the next two hours, especially be knocking 29 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: down these games, including the Saturday games. In this segment, 30 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna do all three of the Saturday games. Uh, 31 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: let's start with the It's actually the second of the 32 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: third game, um, second of the three games, but we'll 33 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: do it first. Buffalo at New England Scott. These are 34 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: two really good defenses here, and last time they combined 35 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: for what like twenty points or something, and they when 36 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: they played last So I don't think anybody's expecting a 37 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: lot of offense here. Yeah, this isn't a game where 38 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: I think you're going to find a lot of starters 39 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: on the Buffalo side. I basically have everyone benched except 40 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: for maybe a C grade on Beasley. Uh he Josh 41 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: Allen threw three picks against New England last time. Maybe 42 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: running ability helps you, but only two qbs have top 43 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: two thirty five passing yards against New England and only 44 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: two had multiple touchdowns. It's it's a bad draw for him. 45 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: It's a bad draw for John Brown, Who's probably gonna 46 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: gett Stefan Gilmer, who has more touchdowns this year than 47 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: all the wide receivers combined in his coverage. Well, all 48 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: the wide receivers combined in against Stephan Gilmore have zero. 49 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: He has to impressive exactly. He should be Defensive Player 50 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: of the Year. By the way, I am giving Beasley 51 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: just a slight sea. I don't even love it though, 52 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: but he was highly targeted the last time. He's been 53 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: highly targeted by Allen recently. I think that that's how 54 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: they think they're going to be able to move the 55 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: ball down the field. Is is he short dump offs? Uh? 56 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: Tough matchup with Jonathan Jones, But Jones has given up 57 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: touchdowns three touchdowns in his last four and beastly scored 58 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: in his last six of his last nine. Maybe there's 59 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: a touchdown upside there and it's still really re employ 60 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: but it's still really risky in your championship game. I 61 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: do like Singletary, though, I'm giving him a C grade 62 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: even against this tough matchup. The last five running backs 63 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: to face the Patriots that hit seventeen touches all had 64 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: over a hundred yards, and right now Singletary is averaging 65 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: twenty touches a game. Yeah, so I'm giving him a 66 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: sea grade, probably just because he's gonna get get there 67 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: on volume and uh, Devin Singletary leads the NFL in 68 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: explosive play rate of ten plus yard runs and twenty 69 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: plus yard runs, so maybe he can get one of 70 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: those and you know, boost those stats. On the other side, 71 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: I'm only starting Adelman and White. Brady's been pretty average 72 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: lately and it's a really, really tough past defense for Buffalo, 73 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: so I have him. I got Sanew and Harry on 74 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: the bench. Michelle it took twenty touches against the terrible 75 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: Bengals to even make him slightly viable, so I'm not 76 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: putting him up against Buffalo. I'm giving a C to 77 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: Edelman though, prior to last week's nine yard dud um, 78 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: He's had double digit targets in eight games. Uh. I 79 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: do know that the last game against Buffalo was his 80 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: previous worst game of the year, but he should be 81 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: good for that seven or so catches. He usually if 82 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: he's healthy enough. I mean, if he's healthy enough to go, 83 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: it sounds like it's a Patriots. But he's got a 84 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: go nagging injuries, He'll start for sure. You know. Last week, 85 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: I think the injuries, he just wasn't part of the 86 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: game play. That's why I got a C grade on him, 87 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: and that's probably the best. I do have a C 88 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: grade on White. He did go. He had eight catches 89 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: for fifty seven yards in the last meeting. I think 90 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: that that's how the Patriots get the ball down the 91 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: field on this on this Buffalo great secondaries by those 92 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: short dump offs two guys like White. So I have 93 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,239 Speaker 1: a C grade there. Yeah. If I were the Bills, 94 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: I would use Josh Allen as a running back. I would. 95 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: I'm serious. So I would do what Baltimore did to 96 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: the Patriots, and I would run Josh Allen in designed 97 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: runs much the way that Baltimore did with Lamar Jackson. 98 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna do it because they don't 99 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: run him and designed runs very often. It's mostly he 100 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: runs around and scrambles from broken plays. He did have 101 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: thirty seven and a score in the first game. That's 102 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: that's the proach. I would take the Houston takes on 103 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Brian uh Shaun Watson going up against the 104 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay secondary feels pretty darn good. Yeah, let's talk 105 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: about a fantasy friendly game on this show. And no kidding. 106 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: By the way, Tampa Bay has only played in two 107 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: games this season with the total finished under forty seven points. 108 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, usually a point orgy when they're involved. Um, 109 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: like you said, starting with the passing game in Houston, 110 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins did not practice on Wednesday with an illness, 111 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: returned in full on Thursday. He's good to go and obviously, 112 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: over the last five games, the Bucks have allowed eight 113 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: yards per game two wide receivers in six total touchdowns 114 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: to the position. That's why will Fuller gets the ECTO 115 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: Cooler grade, which is high, very high see despite being 116 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: questionable with a hands high. Different than C plus because 117 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: it gotta because there's no plus. I didn't say the 118 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: P word, Church Hope. I didn't say an we don't do. 119 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: We're gonna bring up the P word later though, multiple times. 120 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: But anyway, for whatever reason, will Fuller does not go, 121 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: he probably should. I would give Kenny Stills a CE 122 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: in his place, but I'm not gonna give Stills to 123 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: see if Fullers Ago and then Deshaun Watson, who you 124 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: you mentioned in the in the opening of this game. 125 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: Over the last four games, Tampa is allowing only two 126 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: passing yards and just one touchdown per game to opposing quarterbacks. 127 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: But Deshaun Watson is much better than David j Kobe Brissette, 128 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: and Gardner Minch you. So those are the three of 129 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: the four quarterbacks that Tampa is faced during that Spanzo 130 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: Watson still gets an A, Carlos Hide and Duke Johnson. 131 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: Carlos Hide is questionable with an ankle injury. I'm gonna 132 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: bench him either way, and I'm still gonna bench Duke 133 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: Johnson even if Hyde were to sit. Um it's just 134 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: a brutal matchup as it has been all year for 135 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: opposing running backs against the Bucks, and even more recently, 136 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: over their last six games, only Alvin Kamara has topped 137 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: thirty eight rushing yards against Tampa Bay. So I'm benching 138 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: both Texan backs despite if a Hide sits are not 139 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: over to the Tampa Bay side and their number one 140 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: wide receiver brush Shad Perryman in his fifteenth year in 141 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: the league's at No. Not really, but it feels like 142 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: he's been the league that long. I'm giving him a 143 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: B most with thinking A but I'm a little worried that. 144 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: You know, people are their game planning as him as 145 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: the number one right wide receiver. Now that wasn't the 146 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: case last week Godwin left started, so this is probably 147 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: the first time his career the schematics or based throughout 148 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: him being the number one wide receiver just to be 149 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: despite it being a great match up, the Texans have 150 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: allowed a hundred and sixty seven yards per game to 151 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: wide receivers, including a one hundred yard receiver and two 152 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: of their last three uh and that was over the 153 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: last three weeks. For allowing one sixty seven to opposing 154 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: wide receivers. It's been a good matchup against Houston all year. 155 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: For wide receivers. Would be for Perryman and a C 156 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: for Justin Watson. Scotty Miller was on it was really 157 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: the number two even we played like one game, but 158 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: he's on i R. So Watson has the number two 159 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: job all to himself. When Mike Evans went down in 160 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: Week fourteen against the Colts, a game that Scotty Miller 161 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: was an active four. Watson came in and caught five 162 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: passes on eight targets. One was a touchdown, So he's 163 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: an easy see in this matchup. Just sneaky DFS play too, 164 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: Just Watson, definitely. There might be one more you won 165 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: in this matchup too. It's not O J. Howard. He'd 166 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: be a Chalky option despite how brutal his season has been. 167 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: But as of late nineteen targets over the last three weeks, 168 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: with the injuries to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Houston 169 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: has allowed a league high ninety yards per game two 170 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: tight ends over the last five weeks, and the only 171 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: Fantasy relevant player at the tight end position they faced 172 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: during that stretch was Mark Andrews. So O J. Howard 173 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: has no Mark Andrews, but he's better than a nobody, 174 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: just barely. But no, he is but Cameron brad I 175 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: can't give him a starting grade and redraft, but another 176 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: great DFS option based on the matchup. Again, ninety yards 177 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: per game to opposing tight ends over the last five 178 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: for Houston, and lastly, Jameis Winston easy a first player 179 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: in NFL history with back to back four fifty plus 180 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: yard games opposing quarterbacks have scored three or four touchdowns 181 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: and eight of Houston's last ten, so easy for a reason, 182 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: absolutely insane. I shouldn't have said. Lastly, I do have 183 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: to mention Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones, but I desperately 184 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: want to start one of these guys. Houston has allowed 185 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: nine running back touchdowns over the last five games. Dang, 186 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: it's a lot. Can you trust starting Ronald Jones or 187 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: Peyton Barber and the championship in third place game? No, 188 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: it's hard touches again, DFS. These are guys I mentioned 189 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: him rolling the dice on because they'll be dirt cheap. 190 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: But when when it comes to catching the ball out 191 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: of the backfield against Houston, opposing backs are averaging more 192 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: than five and a half catches and one whole touchdown 193 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: through the air over Houston's last five. But it's dare 194 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: Ogun bowal A who catches all the passes too. So 195 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: you gotta bench on. Do you have a preference from 196 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: Barbara Jones? I feel like we've gone over this. You 197 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: never get it right. I mean nobody, nobody gets it right. 198 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: But I feel like Barbara would be the high round 199 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: guy in DFS. So I would lead in Jones to 200 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: be more contrarian, but let's stay away in season. Although 201 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: the Saturday night game is the Rams taking on the 202 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: forty nine, is lots of playoff implications in this one, 203 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: for sure. Let's start with the running game Todd Gurley. 204 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: You know, the Rams saved up Todd Gurley. You know 205 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: all the frustration that we had with his nine touch 206 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: games and his eleven touch games and his five touch 207 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: games and his fourteen touch games, Well, they saved him 208 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: up for the end of the year. Now they're just 209 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: running in plenty because every game they're effectively in the 210 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: playoffs right now, needing to win out the rest of 211 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: the way. Um, San Francisco is allowing the fewest fantasy 212 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: points to running backs over the last month and our 213 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: third on the full season. It's a tough, tough matchup. 214 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: They've only allowed one touchdown and it was a goal 215 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: line plunge last week and their last five games, so 216 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: a tough match for Todd Gurley, hopefully offset for his 217 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: owners anyway, offset by the total usage here. So I've 218 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: got to be great on Todd Gurley. Jared Goff gets 219 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: a sea and barely you see at that he enters 220 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: the game having thrown two touchdowns into two of the 221 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: in the last two touchdowns in the last three games. 222 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: But mostly he's only good against bad defenses, and that's 223 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: not the who get healthy here. Remember the last week 224 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: they were missing Richard Sherman and d Ford and Kwan 225 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: Williams and Jack Quisky Tart. They were all out. Almost 226 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: all of them are likely back for this game, and 227 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: Richard sherman'scent is absolutely back for this game. So I 228 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: think there's a much tougher matchup for golf, and I 229 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: don't trust him one bit here. I think he's a 230 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: dart throw at best um against a nine years defense 231 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: that's closer to full strength. Just to see grade on golf, 232 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: and if you're not sure, feel free to bench him. 233 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 1: Cooper Cups the only receiver I've got a starting grade 234 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: on who has scored in three straight games, but over 235 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: the past six games he hasn't topped sixty five yards. 236 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: He's on the field like thirty five of the plays. 237 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: That's it for Cooper Cup. I don't even I don't 238 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: understand the usage here at all. Now he would go 239 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: up against corner Kwan Williams, who want to check his status. 240 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: If he does not go in this game, then will 241 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: upgrade Cooper Cup to be If Williams goes, and he's 242 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: been very good this year, and he was totally shut 243 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: down Cooper Cup in the earlier match matchup, holding Cup 244 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: to seventeen yards. So if Williams plays, Cups kind of 245 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: dead to us, and if will Him is out, then 246 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: I think we could elvite him to a B. Robert 247 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: Woods it's uh, it's been a it's been really tricky. 248 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: And he runs predominantly from the right side of the field, 249 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: which puts him up against Richard Jerman, who's been awesome 250 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: this year. He hasn't allowed to touch down in his 251 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: coverage since Week one. Woods was held out of catch 252 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: in the first meeting between these teams. I don't like 253 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: Woods here and I've got a bench grade on him, 254 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: and Brandon Cooks is dead to us. Let's talk Tyler 255 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: Higbee because this is the toughest matchup for fantasy owners 256 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: because he's been awesome three consecutive one hundred yard games. 257 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: But now Gerald Everett is back. What does that mean 258 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: for Higgbee? You know, needless to say through the entire 259 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: rest of the season, and for that matter. All of 260 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee's career, anytime he's had to share time with 261 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: Gerald Everett, he's been nothing more than a dart throw. 262 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: And my worry is we're right back at that again, 263 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: and and ever was healthy enough to be a full 264 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: participant in practice. And I'm nervous. I've only got a 265 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: C grade on Higbee because I as as potent as 266 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: he's been lately, I'm just I'm I'm too worried about 267 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: Everett splitting time with him, and they go right back 268 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: to being they were. And it's not a great matchup 269 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: to begin with. Really, No, actually it's not a great matchup. 270 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: San Francisco has been a little easier against Titans lately, 271 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: but on the whole, it is not. Let's go to 272 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 1: the niner side of this game, where I've only got 273 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 1: I've got a handful of starters for you, specifically George Kettle, 274 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: who gets an obvious A every week you put up 275 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: a hunting three yards against l A in the earlier 276 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: matchup where he mostard also gets an A. Rightfully has 277 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: received two thirds of the carries for San Francisco over 278 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: the last three games. You didn't think any back would 279 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: get two thirds of the carriage. But he's that good. 280 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: They have to keep playing Raheem Mostart. Los Angeles has 281 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: given up the fourth most Fantasy points to backs in 282 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: their last five games, and in their seven home games, 283 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: the Niners have scored fifteen running back touchdowns. Hopefully after 284 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: this game they have given up the most most are 285 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: two points. Absolutely that could that could end up happening to. 286 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: I love Mostard. Here a grade on Raheem Mostard. Earlier 287 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: earlier episodes of this show, he called him the Ron 288 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: Dane of this year. He's gonna power teams to Fantasy championships, 289 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: and that's going to happened every other Niner. I've got 290 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: a bench grade on. Let's talk through. Let's first, Tevin 291 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: Coleman and Matt Brita are averaging twelve ish snaps and 292 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: half that many touches, so they're not even options. Let's 293 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: talk about the passing game. Jimmy Garoppolo. Five of the 294 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: rams opposing quarterbacks have been completely shut out, including Jimmy 295 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: Garoppolo in the earlier meeting. Only four quarterbacks have managed 296 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: more than one score against the Rams this year. The 297 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: Rams just got done. Your racing a Marii Cooper and 298 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: Michael Gallop off the field last week. And if they're 299 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: going to do that to Emmanuel Sanders and Deebo Samuel, 300 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: I'm not I don't want any part of this thing. 301 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: And those guys are on the bench too, So for Sanders. 302 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: Over the last four weeks, the entire San Francisco receiving 303 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: group is averaging just twelve targets the whole group of receivers. 304 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: That's just not enough to go around. Meanwhile, over the 305 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: last five games, the RAMS secondary hasn't allowed a receiver 306 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: to reach eighty yards, and over the last five games, 307 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: cornerback Troy Hill is allowing fewer than forty yards in 308 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: his coverage. So I don't like any part of this 309 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: for Emmanuel Sanders, for Deebo Samuel, same thing he gets. 310 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, He's dead to us. I don't like any 311 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: part of the receiver group. There are two great reality 312 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: games on Saturday and just one good fantasy game. And 313 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: that's yeah, that is that is probably true. It is 314 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: a great Saturday of Yeah, it's got many Thanksgiving. Now 315 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: this show airs in some markets on Saturday or on Sunday. 316 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: They'll be able to people. We will listen back and 317 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: go man. Were those guys idiots? They could not have 318 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: misread this thing. Worse, Hopefully it's not the case, and 319 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: our Sunday matchups are gonna be way better. And that's 320 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: what's coming up is our Sunday matchups, I'm happy to say, 321 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: including Pittsburgh taking on the Jets will tell you if 322 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: James Conner is somebody you can rely upon, Juju Smith 323 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: Schuster comes back, is that somebody you want to start? 324 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: And when we return, nine players not normally in your lineup, 325 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: many of whom are available on the waiver wire. Yes, 326 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: you can take a chance on waiver wire grade players 327 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: even in the championship We'll tell you who they are 328 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: when we return to Fantasy Football Weekly. Nine players not 329 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: normally in your line up. Many of these guys are 330 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: on the waiver wire. And you know what, just because 331 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: you're in the championship game does not mean that your 332 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: roster is automatically so good that you don't have to 333 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: take a chance on some of these guys. Ask the 334 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: Brashotte Harriman player from last week. What about Mike Bone. 335 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about him later too. There's a lot 336 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: of options here. We'll talk those through momentarily we beget 337 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. Brian, you take a chance at 338 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: the quarterback is the aging Philip Rivers at home against 339 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: the raid Is. Rivers has scored in twenty four straight 340 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: games against Oakland. How about that? That's your favorite? When 341 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: I dug that stat up this week, I'm like, what, 342 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: that's got to be the longest conset give string of 343 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: any player scoring against one one opponent. I would be 344 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: tough to contest ecutive games attribution to Paul Charching as 345 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: he just mentioned. And Philip Rivers has thrown for multiple 346 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: touchdowns and six of his last seven against the Raiders, 347 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: who have allowed the third most passing scores this season 348 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: and have surrendered multiple touchdowns to every quarterback they have 349 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: faced outside of Joe Flacco in Week one, and that's 350 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: very understandable. And then Kirk Cousins in a Week three 351 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: blow up by the Vikings were only through the ball 352 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: twenty one times. It's a touchdown machine when you face Oakland. 353 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: Got it, Scott. I have a quarterback who is one 354 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: of only two quarterbacks in the NFL that leads their 355 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: team in rushing. I know who it is. I know 356 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: who it is. I love Stu Beard. Stew Beard the 357 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: Dolphins leading rusher. Ste Beard averaging thirty six yards per 358 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: game rushing over his last four games, has multiple touchdowns 359 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: in three of his last four. The Bengals has been 360 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: a little better lately, but they've been average in the year. 361 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: I like Stupard this week. And here's the thing about 362 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: this matchup that I love for Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Bengals 363 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: run defense is awful, so they've been seeing the fewest 364 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: passes in the NFL. The Bengals have. But the Dolphins 365 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: can't run. They can't run, and so Stu Weird's gonna 366 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: be throwing on a secondary that never gets thrown on, 367 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna end It's ultimately gonna end 368 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: up well for him, and he's gonna expose a sneaky 369 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: bad secondary. Kenyan Drake is still the highest scoring running 370 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: back for the Dolphins, and he might end the year 371 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: the highest scoring running back for the Dolphins and Texas. 372 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: No Cardinals, but yes, Cardinals. Do you know when the 373 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,719 Speaker 1: last time that happened? Herschel Walker with the Cowboys and 374 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: then another team that I do that, no team that 375 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: we do not. We don't know what team that might 376 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: take a chance to me quarterback is Drew Lock. Now, 377 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: remember Duro I had those two great first games, and 378 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: then last week faced the Chiefs in a quasi blizzard 379 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: and did nothing. And now he gets a fantastic matchup 380 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: with the Lions, a team that has allowed explosive output 381 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: to opposing quarterbacks like no other. Six quarterbacks have thrown 382 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: for three or four touchdowns. Seven quarterbacks of top three 383 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: hundred yards against Detroit, including last week James Winston lighting 384 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: up the Lions. Of course, only the touchdown repellent Dwayne 385 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: Haskins has failed to score against the Lion since Week four. 386 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: Drew Lock is a great high upside swing for the fences. 387 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: I'm playing against Lamar Jackson. I need somebody can get 388 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: me three, maybe four touchdowns. Drew Lock could be the guy. Bryan, 389 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: let's go to our take a chance to be running backs? 390 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: Who do you have? I got Phillies, Baston Scott. Boston 391 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: Scott has put up third team catches in the two 392 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: games without Jordan Howard, who I do not think will 393 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: play this week, has not been cleared for contact. And 394 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: uh and if you haven't noticed, the Eagles do not 395 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: have any wide receivers either that they're gonna put Nelson 396 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: aglare on. I are probably, and not like that really matters. 397 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: Also very helpful for Boston Scott that the Cowboys have 398 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: yielded the sixth most targets to running backs on the 399 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: season and have surrendered receiving scores to the position and 400 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: two of those asked the three. So Boston Scott and PPR, 401 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: if you're very desperate, Scott, I am going with another 402 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 1: Dolphins somehow. I'm going with Patrick Lard against that terrible 403 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: Bengals Rundy. Uh. I think his efficiency will be up. 404 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: It's been really bad, but the Bengals Rundy allows so 405 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: many hundred yard games. I don't know that Laird gets there. 406 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: But the nice part is he's a running back that 407 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: has uh sixteen receptions in his last four games. He 408 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: might be able to get you some of those PPR points. 409 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna go with Mike Boone, the Minnesota Viking, 410 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 1: who I believe we'll start end up starting on Monday night. Now, 411 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook's got the shoulder injury. These guys neither Cook 412 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: nor Madison practiced all week. Madison, I believe has in 413 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: a high ankle. Sprain that they hit team is not 414 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: divulged to this point. They are. They are really angling 415 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: to rest both guys all the way to the playoffs. 416 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: I believe Dalvin Cook doesn't have a run longer than 417 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: nine yards since November. He's not the same guy. He's 418 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: just all beat up from a from being a workhorse 419 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: for the whole season. And they're gonna rust into the playoffs. 420 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: I believe and Mike Boone will start from Minnesota. Vikings 421 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: in a nights opportunity. Minnesota second and in fantasy points 422 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: scored by running backs, no team has used running plays 423 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: at a higher percentage in home games than the Vikings, 424 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: where they traditionally get ahead and just keep running on teams. 425 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: Vikings are undefeated at home this year. Packers have allowed 426 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: six rushing scores to backs in their last five road games. 427 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: They're giving up almost five yards per carry. It's all 428 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: lining up for Mike Boone to potentially win championships off 429 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: the waiver wire. Let's go to the wide receiver position. 430 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: Brian Johnson. Okay, despite the fact that the target distribution 431 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 1: for New Orleans wide receivers went like this last week. 432 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas twelve targets Drake Kwon Smith one again, this 433 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: is always Harrison one. I'm still going with tray Kwan Smith. Okay, Tennessee, 434 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: we'll talk about this matchup more very shortly. In the 435 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: fact that Dorry Jackson is out, who would be covering 436 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas. But the Titans must roll triple coverage onto 437 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas in this game. Somebody else is getting paid. 438 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: Track Juan Smith has scored in three of his last 439 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: four games, and since Week nine, Tennessee has surrendered second 440 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: surrendered scores to secondary wide receivers like Nicole Hardman, Curtis 441 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: Samuel Rico Gafford, and then two touchdowns to Kenny Stills 442 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: last week. So Trake Juan Smith is gonna get fit 443 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: in this one, all right, I got you'll take a 444 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: chance of me receiver. I have John Ross. This is 445 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: finally the time you can start him since earlier in 446 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: the season. And he's got Andy Dalton, so that lines 447 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: up perfectly with what he did earlier in the season. 448 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: Miami second worst against wide receivers, third most receptions and 449 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: third most yards allowed to the position over the last 450 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: five and they've allowed the most touchdowns to wide receivers 451 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: in this season, and speed deep speed guys like Robby Anderson, 452 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: John Brown, Marquise Brown, f One McLaren all had hundred 453 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: plus days against Miami. I think John Rosson is four 454 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: to four speed gets past him. I'm taking Allen Lazard 455 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: against the Vikings now. Teams are doubling or racketing Davante 456 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: Adams and they're daring the other Packer whiteout to just 457 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,239 Speaker 1: make a play, and mostly they haven't. But mostly they 458 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: haven't been playing a secondary as bad as the Vikings. 459 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: The Vikings outside cornerbacks have Pro Football Focus rankings of 460 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: seventy two, eighty three and onleven gross. Alan Lazard is 461 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: the most bankable of the bunch of non of Davante 462 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: Adams Packers receivers because he's the only guy we're getting 463 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: reliable snaps and targets. He was on the field for 464 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: the Packers plays last week. Vikings have allowed the fourth 465 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: most wide receiver receptions, the tenth most wide receiver yards, 466 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: the sixth most wide receiver touchdowns. Alan Lazard a dart 467 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: throw against the struggling Vikings secondary. There you go, take 468 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: a chance, I mean our final take a chance of 469 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: you of the year. It's so emotional. Oh no, can 470 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: we raise enough money by next season to get the 471 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: rights back from I was just gonna say that song 472 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: is actually growing on me that you're starting, like absolutely absolutely, 473 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: I know, like this is my last chance to peacock 474 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: here in the segment that the bit that all off season, 475 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: what did who did we give at this time? In 476 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: this segment last week at the wide receiver position for 477 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: a shod paramandya one final pea cock of the year. 478 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: There it is there you go, um, let's work in 479 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: a couple of matchups before we get out of the segment. 480 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh taking on the Jets Scott. James Conner was used 481 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: pretty lightly last week. They're working him in, They're working 482 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: him in a little bit. I don't know that he 483 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 1: gets back to a workhorse level here. But also the 484 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: Jets running defense is good. So how do you what 485 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: do you do with James Conner in this one? I'm 486 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,239 Speaker 1: giving him a C grade. I know the Jets are 487 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: only allowing sixty seven rushing yards per game, which is 488 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: good for third best, holding holding a posting right back 489 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: to three point two yards per carry, which is best. 490 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: But but James James Conner when he's been fully healthy, 491 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: gets a full complimented snaps. I think that last week 492 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: was just working him in. They only played about eight 493 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: percent of the snaps. I think he gets back up 494 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: to his eighties like he was earlier in the season. 495 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: I gave him a C grade, probably on volume. I'm 496 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: benching the rest of the Pittsburgh as game Duck Duck 497 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: Hodges best game this season is two yards in one touchdown. 498 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: That can't support a split and do do may play 499 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: probably muddies up the works for anybody started exactly what 500 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: happened a couple of times he has played well injured 501 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: is he was more decoy ish and had really poor games, 502 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: and it just muddies it. So the rest of them 503 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: are all on the bench. On the jet side, I 504 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: have Donald on the bench, I have Anderson on the bench. Donald. 505 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers are just good since the Fitzpatrick trade. 506 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: And in the last the last five QB's all under 507 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: two hundred yards and none had over twenty completions. That's 508 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: insane that that that takes down everyone. I do kind 509 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: of I have a C grade on crowder Um, especially 510 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: with Joe Hayden possibly out for this one. He so 511 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: that if Hayden was If if Hayden was in, he'd 512 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: probably cover Anderson. But Hayden being note, I think diminishes 513 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: that entire secondary um only twice this year have both 514 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: topped forty yards in the same game. I think this 515 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: is a Crowder game. Donald might have to lean on 516 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: him short. And Uh, I'm giving a SE grade to Bell. 517 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: He's a bell cow. The Steelers are top ten against 518 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: running backs. Uh. The last seven lead backs to face them, Uh, 519 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 1: five of them had fifteen touches or more, and those 520 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: backs averaged eighty five scoreless yards. It's not gonna be 521 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: a great day out there for Bell, but he's gonna 522 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: get fifteen to twenty touches. He's probably gonna get eighty 523 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: five to a hundred total yards. That's where you're gonna 524 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: get a C grade. Makes sense. Let's work in one 525 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: more matchup weeken Saints taking on the Tennessee Titans. Brian, 526 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: you already told us one Saints receiver that you like, 527 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: so you must obviously like Drew Brees a lot here. Yeah, 528 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: you gotta love Breeze, and of course you love Michael Thomas, 529 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: who's gonna get the fantasy Fonzi even if a Dorty 530 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 1: Jackson played now with Dorry Jackson is out, so he 531 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: gets the A plus plus plus plus plus tons of 532 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: pluses for Michael Thomas, Tray Juan Smith was might take 533 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: a chance on me wide receiver that you used up 534 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: all your pluses. Well, it's the last regular season shows 535 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to do it then. Jared Cook safe 536 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: b Titans understandably limited the subpar pairing of Houston Titans 537 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: last week, but prior to that Tennessee all had allowed 538 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 1: three tight end scores in the four weeks prior while 539 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: conceding six catches in nine yards per game to the position. 540 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: Cook's been red hot, uh since coming back. Drew Brees, 541 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: like you said, easy A, he's got a pad that 542 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: all time touchdown lead over Tom Brady. Well he probably 543 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: doesn't really have to. You can probably stop throwing touchdowns 544 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: and still maintain that lead over. No one will ever 545 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: explain the twin bed wedding against the Falcons this season, 546 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: But aside from those two games, Breeze is average three 547 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: or from fourteen yards and more than three and a 548 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: half touchdown passes his previous five games, So a for breeze. 549 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: Not an A for Alvin Kamara, but I will give 550 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: him a B desplite only scoring a touchdown in one 551 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: game this year. Uh, Kamara is still a top twelve 552 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,479 Speaker 1: running back for Alvin Camary. You know, he's performed at 553 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: B level like two. He's been like a B plateau 554 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: throughout the season. Still at top twelve running back in PPR, 555 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: so bear with me. He has been, and the Titans 556 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: have yielded the second most targets of running backs. So 557 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: Kamara only trails Christian McCaffrey, Austin Ekeler Uh in running 558 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: back receptions and he's tied with Leonard four Nett. All 559 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: three of those backs faced to see this year and 560 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,959 Speaker 1: had great games receiving, combining to average six plus catches 561 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: and sixty six yards and totally two touchdowns just through 562 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: the air. Kamar will still get some work on the ground, 563 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: so I'm still giving him a B, and Lotavius Murray 564 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,959 Speaker 1: can give him a C. Even though Tennessee is allowing 565 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: less than four yards per carry over the last four weeks, 566 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: the Titans have yielded the most running back touches and 567 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 1: gold to got scenarios, and that's pretty much Murray's territory now. 568 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: So as for Murray on the other side, Derrick Henry 569 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: can give him a B. A little banged up with 570 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: a hammy. Was playing in more than seventy percent of 571 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: the snaps before that injury. He's dip below uh the 572 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: snap count over the last two weeks, and it's not 573 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: a good matchup. After the Patriots and Bucks, the Saints 574 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: have basically been the least friendly defense to opposing running back. 575 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: So just to be for Derrick Henry, the Titan who's 576 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: been carrying you to the championship is a J. Brown. 577 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: He just gets a B too, though because of Marshawn Lattimore. 578 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: He could draw one. Who why would you bother putting on? Yeah, 579 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: he hasn't been shadowing as much, but he should shadow 580 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: in this game. It wouldn't make any sense for him 581 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: not to shadow a J. Brown. And the Saints also 582 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: claimed Genera's Jenkins off Waivers, who's probably a little motivated. Uh, 583 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: we'll play better when than when he's on the Giants, 584 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: I would think. But anyway, just to be for Brown, 585 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,959 Speaker 1: John new Smantha John new Smith is on the bench 586 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,719 Speaker 1: tight end. He is the starter, but Anthony Firkser and 587 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: Mike cole Pruitt still twenty four pass routes from Smith 588 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: last week. So he's on the bench. Don't go there. 589 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: And Ryan Tannehill, I'm still gonna give him a be 590 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: because before blanking Jacobe Brissette, understandably, the Saints had surrendered, 591 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: surrendered multiple passing scores in five straight games in New Orleans. 592 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: Is also conceding six yards per carried to quarterbacks and 593 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: the converted wide receiver, Ryan Tannehill, He's got some wheels 594 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: charged converted wide receiver. He he wasn't a quarterback until 595 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: his senior year in college. Wasn't a quarterback under Adam 596 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: Gates either, that's true. Has anyone been good point? Good point? 597 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: Look at his days, he's daggering. Sam Donald's career unbelievable. 598 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: I hope they bring him back. Just we can see 599 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: the spectacle on furl for the for the New York 600 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: Jets when we return. By the way, Baltimore taking on 601 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: Cleveland will tell you if you if there's any danger 602 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: starting your Ravens. If if they've clinched home field, which 603 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: they might do on Saturday, they make clinch home field throughout, 604 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: We'll let you know if you have to have got 605 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: to sweat any part of that.

Some of you are listening on the air, 617 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: and some of you are listening via podcast.

For the over 620 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: the air version of Fantasy Football Weekly, this is our 621 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: final show, Baltimore takes on Cleveland. Now note that Baltimore 622 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: could lock up the top seed with the New England 623 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: loss against Buffalo on Saturday, and I think there's a 624 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: very good chance that could happen, by the way, um 625 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: much more so than any maybe any other point of 626 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's career. Is that possible. Even so, the Baltimore 627 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: starters would almost certainly play all or most of the game. 628 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: If I think, you just you downgrade everybody maybe one 629 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: letter grade, maybe one letter grade. If New England loses 630 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: on Saturday. That that about it. And I guess you 631 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: could upgrade everybody if it turns out that they don't. 632 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: But most of these guys have high grades anyway. So 633 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: let's by the way, the only team I went back through, 634 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: I went back to and looked at weeks sixteens. For 635 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: the last twenty plus years, only one team has has 636 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: absolutely rested their starters two thousand four Eagles. You know, 637 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: that was it. Everybody else they play their starters and 638 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: through almost all of the game. There are several cases 639 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: where teams got you know, played like starters play eight. 640 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: But at that point you got your numbers and they 641 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: weren't sure that Owens was going to play that year. 642 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: In the post, you're right, remember that cautious of course, 643 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: that's yeah, you remember it well. So let's go on 644 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: the Baltimore side, Lamar jack Jackson's and obviously, regardless of 645 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: the Patriot situation, a great let's move on mark Ingram 646 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: also in a grade. Since Week four, the Browns have 647 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: allowed twelve total touchdowns to opposing running backs. They've also 648 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: given up four different rushers that have topped one hundred 649 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: yards against against Cleveland and over that same time span, 650 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: mark Ingram nine total touchdowns in six games of at 651 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: least seventy four combo yards. He's always he's been super 652 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: safe every almost every single game all year. That continues here. Um, 653 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: Cleveland's giving up almost five yards per carry. It's a 654 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: it's a very good opportunity for mark Ingrand to keep 655 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: it going. A grade there and also in a grade 656 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: four Mark Andrews. He was now scored five times over 657 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: the last six weeks. The one game he did not 658 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: score in knocked me out of my guillotine league. Of course, 659 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: thanks Mark Andrews. Uh. Cleveland has surrendered a tight end 660 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: touchdown uh last week to something called Dan Arnold, who 661 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: I was aware with a guy, but you know I did. 662 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: What team he's even playing for, I think is a 663 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: mystery to most people. He scored against the Browns when 664 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,239 Speaker 1: these teams met in Week four. Mark Andrews is an 665 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: A grade. Let's talk about Markis Brown. One are the 666 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: trickier guys to figure out. Last week he posted forty 667 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: five yards Marquis Brown did and a touchdown. Those forty 668 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: five yards were his highest yardage output since Week ten. 669 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: He is he is so touchdown dependent and unfortunately, the 670 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 1: Cleveland secondaries only even a two wide receiver scores in 671 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: their last five games. That's tied for the fewest over 672 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,479 Speaker 1: the last five weeks. So I'm nervous about Brown here. 673 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: I've got a C grade on him, but know that 674 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 1: if he doesn't score, he likely does not help you. 675 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: Let's go to the Cleveland side. I do have some 676 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: starting grades, but not a lot. First, Baker mayfields on 677 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,919 Speaker 1: the bench. It's an awful matchup against one of the 678 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 1: two best past defenses in the NFL, and he's been brutal. 679 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: He's got the lowest quarterback rating of any quarterback to 680 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,839 Speaker 1: play every game this year. He threw for three forty 681 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: yards in the first meeting, but that was before the 682 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: Ravens added Marcus Peters and they got Jimmy Smith back 683 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 1: he's dead to us Odell Beckham, no chance he's gonna 684 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 1: scoreless in eleven of twelve games. Baltimore held Beckham to 685 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 1: twenty scoreless yards in Week four. And you can't start him. 686 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: It's just you know, I'd love to tell you could. 687 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: I don't know how you could. With Marcus Peters and 688 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith there, I don't think. I don't think he's 689 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: I don't think he's startable. Sabotage drop. You could sabotage 690 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 1: drop Odell Beckham right now when opening the opponent picks 691 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: him up and starts him. You really could. You have 692 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,919 Speaker 1: nothing to lose at this point. Uh, you're not gonna 693 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: start him. Jarvis Landry gets to see he had that 694 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: inexplicable dudd last week against Arizona and a juicy matchup 695 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: that was a bummer. In the six games prior to 696 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: last week, though Landry scored five times, he produced a 697 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: very dependable eighty two yards over those six games. And 698 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: he'll face one of the best slot corners, Marlon Humphrey, 699 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: who has allowed one score in his last seven games. 700 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: That part worries me, and that's why Jervis Landry is 701 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: only a C grade in this one. Moving over to 702 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: the passing game. By the way, condolences to anybody who 703 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,760 Speaker 1: had picked up David and Joku and did not see 704 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: the mid afternoon Sunday d activation bumber and then off 705 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: for two touchdowns. Just to rub it in your face. Uh. 706 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb gets a B grade here. Over the last 707 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: nine games, the Ravens have allowed just three total touchdowns 708 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 1: to opposing running backs. That's it. There's somewhat of a bend. 709 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 1: But don't break defense though, is They have allowed at 710 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: least eighties seven rushing yards to opposing ball carries and 711 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: four the last six, So I think Chubb is okay 712 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: from a yard and standpoint. They just don't give up 713 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 1: many scores. And Chubb, by the way, as good as 714 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,399 Speaker 1: Chubb's been this year, just eight touchdowns, which is kind 715 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: of whole hume for somebody that's been as much of 716 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: a workhorse as he's been. Baltimore is a bottom half 717 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: in terms of yard per rush as well yard per attempt. 718 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: So I like Dank Chubb Oka as a B. I'm 719 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: nervous about Kareem Hunt. I've got a bench grade on him. 720 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: Baltimore allows the fewest receptions to running backs the third 721 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: fewest receiving yards to running backs, the second fewest receiving 722 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: touchdowns to running backs just one this year. Only Darryl 723 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: Williams and Devin Singletary have top three receptions against Baltimore. 724 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,479 Speaker 1: I know Kareem Hunt has really helped PPR owners get 725 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,400 Speaker 1: into the championship game. This matchups brutal, brutal. This is 726 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,760 Speaker 1: not the spot Cincinnati takes on Miami. Scott, We've already 727 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: talked about a plethora of players in this one, But 728 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: how about Joe Mixon, who has been surging at the 729 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: end of the year and has my highest ranking of 730 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: the season for Joe Mixon. Yeah, he's nearly unstoppable right now, 731 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: averaging nearly twenty four touches per game, nearly a hundred 732 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: twenty five yards per game over the last six not 733 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: like two or three over the last six games. That's 734 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: why he's averaging And Dad arened Himpson Bell cow right there? Yeah, 735 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: twenty touchbacks are averaging a hundred and twenty five yards 736 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: against Miami. Weird how that matches up right there? So? 737 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: Uh and heck, he crushed the Pats Rundy last week, 738 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 1: so what is he gonna do against Miami solid A 739 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: grade there. I've already talked about John Ross. I like 740 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: him as a C grade. I think he I think 741 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: he beats them deep in and gets a score there. 742 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd I give a C grade too as well. 743 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,240 Speaker 1: He's the safer, more consistent option. Miami second worst against 744 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: wide receivers, as I mentioned before, most wide receiver touchdowns. 745 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 1: I think Boyd is playable here. I even think Dalton 746 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 1: is playable here just because of that. He has not 747 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: been great since returning, only a couple of touchdown pass 748 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 1: is in three weeks. But he gets off the schnide here. 749 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: I think I think he gets a B grade, A 750 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: low B grade. We'll call that a B grade. We'll 751 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 1: call that a B grade. On the Miami side, we're 752 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: We've already talked about Stu Beard, We've already talked about Laird, 753 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: and the only other player to talk about is not 754 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,880 Speaker 1: what we're talking about. DeVante Parker. He's an A grade. 755 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 1: He's a top twelve wide receiver. You should know this 756 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,959 Speaker 1: unless you're not watching football. So, yeah, Parker has been great. 757 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: He's probably five wide receiver in the second half of 758 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, Yeah, that's why I say it is 759 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 1: the top twelve wide receiver. You're starting him? Not worth 760 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: talking about you. I can't think of a post type 761 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 1: breakout bigger than Parker. Has taken a long time, but 762 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 1: it's five years. Yeah, five short years and a millions 763 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 1: of burned fantasy owners over the years. Jacksonville taking on 764 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: Atlanta is our final matchup of this one. So for Jacksonville, 765 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 1: plenty of questions with the passing game, and we've got 766 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: a DJ Chark injury situation and everything, but Leonard four 767 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 1: Nette has just been a staple. What do you think 768 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: about Leonard Fournette in this matchup? Brian No? What else 769 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: has been a staple is that the Falcons are just 770 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: the money matchup for opposing running backs over the years, 771 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 1: but not so much this year. Only two opposing running 772 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: backs have topped the hundred yards rushing all season long. 773 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,760 Speaker 1: Only three running backs have topped four catches against the Falcons. 774 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: Everyone used to catch four balls against the Falcons least, 775 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 1: but those three players were Christian McCaffrey, who on two 776 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 1: occasions called eleven passes this season. Alvin Kamara had eight 777 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: catches and already mentioned four nets. Right in the mix 778 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: with Kamara McCaffrey and then something called David Johnson had 779 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 1: six catches too against Atlanta, So Fournett's PPR ceiling is 780 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: still very high in this one. He's top three and 781 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 1: catches like I just mentioned and give him a very 782 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 1: safe be here, but not in a normally will be 783 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: an a against Atlanta. You mentioned all the questions in 784 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: the passing game. Let's start with d J char who 785 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,800 Speaker 1: will play um? The Falcons just put corner desman trufont 786 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,439 Speaker 1: On I R. By the way, I don't trust Chark 787 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 1: entirely here. I fear the decoy role, right. And we 788 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: spent so long since he's he's done anything meaningful, and 789 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 1: we thought that the Falcon secondary would just get shredded 790 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: weak get in week out around mid season when they 791 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 1: lost some blanket on the safety's name. But anyway, over 792 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 1: the last ten games, thank you, the Falcons have only 793 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,240 Speaker 1: surrendered seven wide receiver touchdowns over the last ten games, 794 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: well under one touchdown per game. Right where he Morris 795 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: we've talked about on the show before the Falcons switched 796 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: Raheem Morris. They're one of their assistant coaches to be 797 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: their secondary coach over there by week I think week nine. 798 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: Since then, the Falcons, the South Falcon secondary has been great. 799 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: It tells you it's just so much about coaching and 800 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: Raheem Morris is. People know inside the NFL, they know 801 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: what a job he's done. He's a head coach before 802 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 1: he's He's making another name for himself with that effort. 803 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 1: So those seven wide receiver touchdowns over the last ten games, 804 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 1: it's not like it's been like a It's spread out, 805 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: so it's sort of safer Chark. Those seven touchdowns went 806 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: to three different players. Will Fuller had three in Week five, 807 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,359 Speaker 1: DK and Metcalf had two in Week eight, and Chris 808 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 1: Godwin had two in Week twelve. That's all or nothing. 809 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: I'm not going all or nothing on Jacksonville receivers in 810 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 1: the championship games. So your boy, I wanted to go 811 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: to the Chris Connley desk and I will can't. I 812 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 1: will be the Chris Connley desk, and I don't don't 813 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: like him here. Yeah, you can't with Chark active, even 814 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,799 Speaker 1: though he might play a role of deco. You just 815 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: can't trust the wide receivers for Jacksonville on the bench 816 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 1: as his gardner Minshew five of the last six quarterbacks 817 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: to face the Falcons. You have throwne for his zero 818 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: or one touchdowns, Jameis Winston the only one that threw 819 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 1: for multiple Minshew is not that Chris Conley desk last week? 820 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Conley Desk hit again. I honestly think we 821 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,399 Speaker 1: hit like all five of his good games this year, 822 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: they all turned out to be highly predictable, at least 823 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 1: on this show. Over who's not been highly predictable as 824 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 1: Deavonta Freeman. He's been bad, very bad, and he's been 825 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,840 Speaker 1: predictable when he's had great matchups like the Panthers recently 826 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 1: had a great game. This is arguably the one matchup 827 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: better than Carolina right Jacksonville was allowed ten running back 828 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: scores over their last six games. So as bad as 829 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 1: Freeman has been in despite the fact that Quadrie Allison 830 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,319 Speaker 1: has been vulture goal line touches, I'm still gonna have 831 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: Freeman a B here just because of the matchup is 832 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,919 Speaker 1: so good and Julio Jones obvious a twenty targets last 833 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 1: week without Calvin a j booge is a tough draw, 834 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: but puposedly triple coverage from the fortys was a tough 835 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: draw too. And Julio came through with two touchdowns, so 836 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,799 Speaker 1: and a for Julio one and a half touchdown. Some 837 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: people who I thought it was a touchdown, it was 838 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,800 Speaker 1: a touchdown. The Seahawks definitely thought it was a touchdown. 839 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: Russell Gauge, I got him on the bench, and this 840 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: one has a number two wide out. He runs from 841 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 1: the slot, will face d J. Hayden, who's probably the 842 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 1: last good player standing for the Jacksonville defense. So I 843 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 1: got Gauge on the bench. Austin Hooper gets a B. 844 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,320 Speaker 1: Has looked rusty in his two games since returning from injury, 845 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 1: but a good match up here. Jacksonville has allowed the 846 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 1: third most tight end touchdowns this year, including two tight 847 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,799 Speaker 1: end scores over the last three weeks. Uh. They're also 848 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,760 Speaker 1: conceding six catches and eighty two yards pree into the position. 849 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: So hopefully Hooper gets off the schneide here and then 850 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan want to give him an A just because 851 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 1: help just because Julio Jones and Austin Hubert basically, but 852 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville run defense just so bad they might just 853 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 1: funnel all the production through Freeman and Alison. So just 854 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: a B for Ryan, but very trustworthy. Yeah, I think he. 855 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 1: I think he is a trust storthy start test week. 856 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. I kind of like him here. 857 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: So let's say Scott Fish and I are in the 858 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 1: championship game and we're gonna Our payout structure is se 859 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 1: to the winner, to second place and ten percent to 860 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 1: the third place or something, and so Scott and I 861 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,760 Speaker 1: are looking at a SEV split. What do you guys 862 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 1: think about Scott and I effectively predeciding that we're going 863 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 1: to evenly split the pot. You know, he'll get the hardware. 864 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,399 Speaker 1: I Scott wins, he'll get the hardware. But we're gonna 865 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,319 Speaker 1: split the pot ourselves. I'm doing this in two of 866 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: my championships with not splitting it. We're splitting like and 867 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: then playing for like fifty bucks or hundred bucks and 868 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,240 Speaker 1: the title, of course. But you both agree is split 869 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 1: a good chunk of the first and second place money 870 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:46,960 Speaker 1: combined save a little keiche on the side. Interest, don't 871 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: tell what two adults what to do. I know it's 872 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: less competitive. Whatever, It's fine. You're gonna say no, you 873 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:57,839 Speaker 1: freaking cowards, you howards, you know say that. Listen if 874 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,760 Speaker 1: you you know, if you need to have that margin 875 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 1: that's between the winning and the losing in the championship 876 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 1: to like pay your heating bill. Fine, okay, pay your 877 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 1: heating bill. Otherwise, ste and put your butt on the line. 878 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,319 Speaker 1: Guaranteed money. Man. What if you what if you know 879 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 1: you're super outbatched. Well, I've been one of those. The 880 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 1: other guy came to me with it. I'm like, yes, 881 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 1: I'll do it. Fantasy Football Weekly returns in moments for 882 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:43,800 Speaker 1: three tough Questions, a forward facing three tough questions. Welcome 883 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Three tough questions. They're all 884 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 1: forward looking questions because we're answering all the week six 885 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: team questions right now, going through all our matchups and 886 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 1: everything else. So all three of these tough questions deal 887 00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:02,920 Speaker 1: with the future, and this first one is brutal, brutal 888 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 1: tough question number one. On last week's show, we hashed 889 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 1: out the first three picks of next year's rankings and 890 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,400 Speaker 1: what we think who the three players we think are 891 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,439 Speaker 1: gonna go first, second, and third overall, and they were 892 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Michael Thomas, and Christian McCaffrey. You need to 893 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: get debate the order, and we'll do that plenty offseason 894 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:27,360 Speaker 1: debate the order. Who's fourth after Lamar Jackson, Michael Thomas, 895 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,319 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, Brian who is fourth? For me? It's one 896 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,319 Speaker 1: of the leftover Big four from this past summer or 897 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: the big four running back. So it's either Alvin Kamara, 898 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,759 Speaker 1: se Kwon Barcloy or Zeke. I was so tended to 899 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:42,760 Speaker 1: go Kamara. Uh just turns twenty five. We'll turn twenty 900 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 1: five when training camp opens. And as we mentioned earlier 901 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 1: in the show, he hasn't killed you this year. He's 902 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 1: been very consistent giving you double digit PPR points. He's 903 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 1: the top twelve PPR running back, doesn't have a he 904 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 1: still has a lot of tread on his tires, positive 905 00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,880 Speaker 1: touchdown regression. You're not answering that's well, I'm not answering. 906 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 1: I've still gotta go Zeke, even though I feared Tony 907 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,680 Speaker 1: Pollard eating into his workload. Next year, Zeke also will 908 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,680 Speaker 1: be turning just twenty five entering camp, and he's the 909 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,560 Speaker 1: biggest bell cow out there after McCaffrey. You can't trust 910 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:13,840 Speaker 1: s Kwan in the clown circus that is the Giants 911 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,719 Speaker 1: with Dave Gettleman at the helm, the biggest bozo of right, 912 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 1: I have a dynasty team that went thirteen and no 913 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 1: that disagrees with you that Kamara has not killed you 914 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:26,359 Speaker 1: because it's no longer in the playoffs. Um, I am 915 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,360 Speaker 1: going off for because I figured you guys would probably 916 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,919 Speaker 1: go with like a Cook or Barkley or something like that. 917 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 1: I'm going with Trulph Travis Kelsey. Even on a down year, 918 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 1: he's one point four points per game better than any 919 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,520 Speaker 1: other tight end. We thought this was gonna be a 920 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: good tight end year, and yet it wasn't yet. Again, 921 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 1: like before the season, we thought were They're all these 922 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,880 Speaker 1: guys coming up no Over sixty yards in twelve of 923 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,760 Speaker 1: fourteen games, at least five catches in ten of fourteen games. 924 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,319 Speaker 1: The touchdowns should come back. He's only got like four 925 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,760 Speaker 1: this year. I think that those kill come back a little. 926 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think there's more safer, consistent player 927 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 1: than Travis Kelsey at a position where there just isn't anything. Um. 928 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 1: I gave long thought to Travis Kelsey, but the four 929 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,759 Speaker 1: touchdowns spooked me a little bit. Even though even though 930 00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 1: I think I think the Chiefs are set to have 931 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: a to potentially massively rebound next year and be you know, 932 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,799 Speaker 1: go right back to where they were last year. But 933 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 1: I went with se Kwon Barkley. And here's why I 934 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 1: think we're gonna look back at just say, you know what, 935 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,239 Speaker 1: it was just a last season. His health. He had 936 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,879 Speaker 1: the high ankle sprain that affected him the whole year. 937 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,560 Speaker 1: They were breaking in a new rookie quarterback that affected 938 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 1: him the whole year. And I still believe he's an 939 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,920 Speaker 1: absolutely talent. Remember last year he was Rookie of the 940 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,239 Speaker 1: Year and he was awesome. He was the closest thing 941 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,200 Speaker 1: to Barry Sanders last year I've seen since Barry Sanders. 942 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 1: And unlike Zeke and Camara, he doesn't battle anybody on 943 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,840 Speaker 1: his own team for anything. He gets all the catches, 944 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:52,279 Speaker 1: he gets all the goal line work, he gets all 945 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,280 Speaker 1: the carries. Zeke and Camara don't have that. We're gonna 946 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,880 Speaker 1: look back at this thirty one or whatever yards receiving 947 00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,000 Speaker 1: per game as a complete anomaly in his totally agree, 948 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 1: So say Kwon Barkley the correct answer. Let's go tough 949 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 1: question number two. Should Dynasty and Empire League owners with 950 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston trade him now before the free agent ends up, 951 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:16,840 Speaker 1: say in Chicago or Miami or some other undesirable location. Scott, 952 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 1: I don't know that I agree that those are undesirable. 953 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,720 Speaker 1: I think both of those have you know, decent pieces 954 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 1: to build around. They're not as good as Tampa Bay, though, 955 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,280 Speaker 1: Like I like you know, Parker and Williams in Miami, 956 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 1: I like Robinson and Miller, and pick your own undesirable location. Okay, 957 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:36,400 Speaker 1: insert undesirable location here. Absolutely, I am trading a quarterback 958 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,759 Speaker 1: anytime he's you know, sitting in the top three in fantasy. 959 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:43,480 Speaker 1: I'm trading a quarterback every time, even in super flex, 960 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 1: because you can get so much value for him, and 961 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,839 Speaker 1: there's a there's a bunch of other quarterbacks you can 962 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 1: come from. The points per game difference is minimal if 963 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 1: you drop down a fuse flots I'm absolutely trading him, 964 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:57,520 Speaker 1: especially in one QB guy trading absolutely, Brian. Yeah, there's 965 00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 1: some very nice wide receiver duos out there, but none 966 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:01,840 Speaker 1: are better than a healthy Mike Evans and Chris Godd. 967 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 1: So there's nowhere to go but down for for Winston. 968 00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 1: And you know, in one quarterback leagues you'll you'll you'll 969 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,799 Speaker 1: make up for trading away Jamis Winston. So yet do it? 970 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 1: I don't think Jamis is going anywhere. I think he 971 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,600 Speaker 1: stays in Tampa for two reasons. One, I think he 972 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 1: recognizes this is the best place for him because he's 973 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,360 Speaker 1: got Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, and he's got Bruce 974 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 1: Arians who's unlocked the best play of his career. I 975 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,480 Speaker 1: think I just think Tampa is a good fit for Winston. 976 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 1: And I don't think he's gonna get big money from anybody. 977 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's gonna be like, let's break the 978 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 1: bank for Jamis Winston because I think there's gonna be 979 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 1: too too many other teams. They're gonna be scared off 980 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,879 Speaker 1: of him for a wide variety of reasons. They don't 981 00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 1: want to leave the League of Interceptions. Maybe they don't 982 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: want to lead the League of interceptions as one example. 983 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,439 Speaker 1: I think Tampa is gonna be willing to keep him. 984 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,799 Speaker 1: They will keep him, and next season he will be 985 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 1: throwing for Tampa Bay and you're gonna be glad you 986 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,120 Speaker 1: got him. Tough question number three, who will be the 987 00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:58,560 Speaker 1: Patriots starting running back on opening Day next year? Will 988 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 1: it be Sony miche L, Damien Harris, Rex burke Head 989 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:07,279 Speaker 1: or somebody not currently on roster. Brian, has anyone ever 990 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,880 Speaker 1: pleaded the fifth in the history of this show, because 991 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 1: I'm pleading on this and he is a disservice to 992 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,879 Speaker 1: even talk about the subject. Any fantasy football player out there, 993 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,400 Speaker 1: because you just have to swear off New England running 994 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,680 Speaker 1: backs entirely, don't even go there. Even James White and 995 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,080 Speaker 1: PPR leagues. I didn't put any thought to this because 996 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put any thought into it next year. 997 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,200 Speaker 1: They're all dead to me. I'm sorry, charge, I'm going 998 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,480 Speaker 1: against the grain here, not answering the question, but I'm 999 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:31,920 Speaker 1: pleading the fan. I don't want to talk about the 1000 00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 1: first time. Somebody was too chicken to answer, too smart 1001 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,360 Speaker 1: to even recognize the fact that the New England Patriots 1002 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,320 Speaker 1: employee running backs on their team because it's the worst. 1003 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,920 Speaker 1: Don't even don't even think about him. Next year's class 1004 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,160 Speaker 1: of running backs is amazing. There will be running backs 1005 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 1: in the fifth round that come out that will be 1006 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,080 Speaker 1: better than the three running backs you just listed. Damian 1007 00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 1: Harris is apparently so bad he can't even get He 1008 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,040 Speaker 1: can't even get active on game day with Sony Michelle 1009 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,200 Speaker 1: playing the way he is. Uh. Some free agents out 1010 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 1: there Melvin Gordon, Kenyan, Drake Derrick, Henry Kareem Hunt, Lamar Miller, 1011 00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:09,520 Speaker 1: Carlos Hyde, Austin Ekeler, uh DeAndre Washington, Matt Breida. Like 1012 00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,160 Speaker 1: some of those are r f as. I understand that, 1013 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,319 Speaker 1: but they're like, you have draft, a loaded running back 1014 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 1: draft class, and you have a ton of free agents. 1015 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:21,440 Speaker 1: I don't think it's any of the three. I think 1016 00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,560 Speaker 1: it's someone not on roster. You are correct, it's somebody 1017 00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,759 Speaker 1: not on roster because Sony Walkerman stinks. You mentioned Damien 1018 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,919 Speaker 1: Harris can't even be active. Rex perk Head can't stay 1019 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,120 Speaker 1: healthy when he's getting five touches a game, and James 1020 00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,439 Speaker 1: White's the pass catching back. So the process of elimination says, 1021 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,799 Speaker 1: it's got to be somebody else. I my hunches it's 1022 00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:40,680 Speaker 1: gonna be a draft pick. But they just blew a 1023 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 1: second rounder on Damien Harris. What an utter bust he 1024 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,399 Speaker 1: looks like. Now, I will say this, there have been 1025 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:52,040 Speaker 1: many cases we're running backs have flopped in your one 1026 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,720 Speaker 1: and then picked it up in year two. Ronald Jones 1027 00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 1: as a case from this year. DeVonta Freeman was Todd 1028 00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,799 Speaker 1: Gurley's disaster, and Todd Gurley There's been a lot of 1029 00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:06,560 Speaker 1: guy that that could dramatic anyway, that's there. You go, 1030 00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,920 Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon touchdowns this first year. Um, so that's you know, 1031 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 1: that is your that's there's still a chance for Damien Harris. 1032 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 1: But it doesn't look good. I mean, I can't remember 1033 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:18,360 Speaker 1: a guy who was went from inactive every week of 1034 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,719 Speaker 1: a season to then being a meaningful participant in year two. 1035 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 1: And if you don't do it in year two, is 1036 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,200 Speaker 1: a running back you're dead. Whoever that somebody is, just 1037 00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,640 Speaker 1: don't draft them next year. Just doing well. You know, 1038 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 1: you gotta pick your spots. The good the good thing 1039 00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 1: is if they put let's say Kareem Hunt is the 1040 00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:40,640 Speaker 1: starting running back there. Um, you know we've seen pa. 1041 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 1: It's not like Patriot Patriot runners are never any good 1042 00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 1: for fantasy. You know, we only have to we only 1043 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:50,080 Speaker 1: have to go back to uh Blunt to remember how, 1044 00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,600 Speaker 1: you know, how you can get fifteen touchdowns out of 1045 00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,440 Speaker 1: a Patriots running back. So Garrett Blunt was able to 1046 00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,000 Speaker 1: do it. There's you know, you can do it if 1047 00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 1: we get the right guy in the right situation. And 1048 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:00,600 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a fascinating one to watch next year. 1049 00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 1: Not for Brian, I mean for the rest of us 1050 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,719 Speaker 1: that will be fascinating. Have fun with those Patriots running backs. Everybody, 1051 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:10,080 Speaker 1: Thank you, UH Giants take on the Washington Redskins. Let's 1052 00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 1: break this one down. Here's the thing you need to 1053 00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,200 Speaker 1: know about Washington. They are going to be short in 1054 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:18,000 Speaker 1: their secondary, quite possibly their number one, number two, and 1055 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,840 Speaker 1: number three cornerbacks. Now, some of those guys have already 1056 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 1: been ruled out, and I believe at this point, Uh 1057 00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:29,239 Speaker 1: Fabian Moreau is doubtful, Clinton Dunbar is out, Landing Collins 1058 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,759 Speaker 1: is if he and Jimmy Moreland is out. So it 1059 00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 1: looks like they may be missing three cornerbacks well too 1060 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,960 Speaker 1: for sure, another one and then a safety, their best safety, 1061 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 1: Landing Collins. So Daniel Jones is a sea level start here. Now, 1062 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,360 Speaker 1: I'll remind you Daniel Jones has thrown at least one 1063 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,799 Speaker 1: touchdown in every game. He also has these blow up 1064 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,640 Speaker 1: games where once a month he throws four touchdowns. It 1065 00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:55,480 Speaker 1: could happen here easily, assuming he starts and finishes the game, 1066 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,920 Speaker 1: which I want to believe that he will. If you 1067 00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,640 Speaker 1: need a dart throw you're playing, you are you are 1068 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,360 Speaker 1: in this our Scott Fish scenario and you are running 1069 00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,200 Speaker 1: a deep deficit. If everything plays to for him and 1070 00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:09,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna lose, Daniel Jones is something you could pick 1071 00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,200 Speaker 1: up and start. So he's now Danny Darts instead of 1072 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,560 Speaker 1: Danny dunsh I like that. Danny Darts h Darius Slayton. 1073 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,399 Speaker 1: A grade for Darius Slayton three scores in the last 1074 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 1: two weeks, granted with Eli Manning, but he had splashed 1075 00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,640 Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones too, and there is so much upside 1076 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,680 Speaker 1: in this game. Over the last five weeks, Washington has 1077 00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:31,000 Speaker 1: allowed of five receiver scores and twenty six points per game, 1078 00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,200 Speaker 1: So a great opportunity for Slayton against this backup secondary. 1079 00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:36,799 Speaker 1: I think the Springs, even Sterling Shepherd and Golden Tate, 1080 00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,839 Speaker 1: guys that I had middling SEA grades on, I think 1081 00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,919 Speaker 1: they move up to B grades. Sterling Shepherd's best game 1082 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones at quarterback has been a modest seven 1083 00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,600 Speaker 1: catch seventy six yarder. That was his best game. So 1084 00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,160 Speaker 1: he hasn't had a lot of success here, but else 1085 00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,279 Speaker 1: hasn't played with him very much because Shepherd's missed so 1086 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,480 Speaker 1: much time. Now for Tate, it's I think he's the 1087 00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,600 Speaker 1: least my least favorite of the bunch because Tate's good 1088 00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 1: games have been primarily happened when Sterling Shepherd's gone, and 1089 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:04,160 Speaker 1: they've been funneling routes to him. But Tait runs from 1090 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,839 Speaker 1: the slot and Fabian Moreau the slack corners out, so 1091 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,239 Speaker 1: this is a good opportunity for him to So there 1092 00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:10,880 Speaker 1: you go. I've I've got a C grade on him, 1093 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 1: i got a B grade on Shepherd. I've got an 1094 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,800 Speaker 1: A grade on Slate and a B grade on Daniel Jones. 1095 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:19,000 Speaker 1: Sa Kwon Barkley A grade. Last season at FedEx Field, 1096 00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,680 Speaker 1: he put up one hundred seventy rushing yards in his score. 1097 00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 1: This year, Washington's given up at least ninety eight rushing 1098 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,320 Speaker 1: yards two opponents starting running back in three of the 1099 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,839 Speaker 1: last four games. I could see Barkley getting to ninety 1100 00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,279 Speaker 1: eight yards here. Also note they have allowed twenty six 1101 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,160 Speaker 1: catches to running backs in the last three games. At 1102 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,400 Speaker 1: that Miles Sanders just went bonkers on this Washington defense. 1103 00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:41,560 Speaker 1: Se Kwon Barkley for those of you that managed to 1104 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,600 Speaker 1: get here a great start and an A grade. Let's 1105 00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 1: go to the Washington side. I've only got one guy 1106 00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:52,280 Speaker 1: for you to start and that is Terry McLaren. McLaren 1107 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,080 Speaker 1: is now scoring back to back weeks and just had 1108 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,600 Speaker 1: his first one hundred yard game with Haskins under center. 1109 00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,880 Speaker 1: He gets an incredibly juicy matchup against a Giant second 1110 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,640 Speaker 1: arry that in the last five games has allowed seven 1111 00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,440 Speaker 1: receiver scores and they just released Norris Jenkins their only 1112 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:09,720 Speaker 1: quasi competent cornerback. Mclauren is going to face off against 1113 00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:14,280 Speaker 1: Corey Ballantine and DeAndre Baker, who Pro Football Focus ranks 1114 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:20,760 Speaker 1: as the one cornerback and the one cornerback. I'm surprised 1115 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,719 Speaker 1: rank have a ranking. They have a ranking. They got 1116 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 1: a number next to him, Terry McLaren B grade. Adrian 1117 00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,720 Speaker 1: Peterson has scored in three straight games, and I guess 1118 00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 1: I'm I said it wasn't getting give him a starting grade. 1119 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,480 Speaker 1: I might give him a C grade here. Um, But 1120 00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,120 Speaker 1: the Giants, ever since they acquired Leonard Williams from the Jets, 1121 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:37,800 Speaker 1: have been tough against the run. They've not allowed it 1122 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,680 Speaker 1: back to post more than fifty nine rushing yards and 1123 00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,040 Speaker 1: have held them to three point four yards per carry 1124 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,640 Speaker 1: over the last five games. So those are that's a 1125 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,680 Speaker 1: tough uphill run for Adrian Peterson. You really you need 1126 00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,239 Speaker 1: the touchdown, and now I'm putting them back on the bench. Bench. Great, 1127 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,480 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. Let's work in one more quick matchup, and 1128 00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:58,319 Speaker 1: that's Carolina taking on San Francisco. I'm sorry, I take 1129 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:02,000 Speaker 1: on Indianapolis and spokes sorry about that, Scott For Carolina, 1130 00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,879 Speaker 1: I think Marlon Mack is one of the uh time 1131 00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 1: I got this whole thing start. Yeah, Christian McCaffrey is 1132 00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,799 Speaker 1: an obvious a great let's I'll just let's just start there. Yes, 1133 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:15,040 Speaker 1: absolutely Uh. In the passing game though I'm only starting 1134 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,840 Speaker 1: DJ Moore, There's been a decent history this year of 1135 00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:22,240 Speaker 1: new quarterbacks, these rookie quarterbacks coming in and then their 1136 00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 1: main wide receiver just getting funneled targets to it. Thanksgiving 1137 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:31,160 Speaker 1: David Yeah, blow, Kyler Murray, Daniel Jones, Mason Rudolph Drew 1138 00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,560 Speaker 1: Lock to court and soun like a whole bunch of 1139 00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 1: them along. That's that's a thing that happens. Uh. And 1140 00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,800 Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel is questionable. He didn't even practice on Friday, 1141 00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,160 Speaker 1: so it might just be all d J Moore. I 1142 00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,960 Speaker 1: don't like anyone, but more in McCaffrey, I'm not starting Greer. 1143 00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,600 Speaker 1: I think he can get more just enough. But on 1144 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:51,560 Speaker 1: the other side, same deal. I only like Mac. I 1145 00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,360 Speaker 1: think it's a smash spot for mac Brissette is overthrowing 1146 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,000 Speaker 1: and underthrowing and throwing it into the stands that I 1147 00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,960 Speaker 1: can't trust a single pass catcher Kenny, That including too, 1148 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,480 Speaker 1: why Hilton, Yeah, so it's just Marlon Mack for me. 1149 00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:04,440 Speaker 1: I know it's been a really ugly couple of games, 1150 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 1: but hopefully you weathered that storm you made into your 1151 00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:10,200 Speaker 1: championship game.

Smash spot for for 1155 00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,320 Speaker 1: Marlon Mack and this one. Those are the only three 1156 00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,240 Speaker 1: I like in this entire game.

Hunter. 1175 00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:22,840 Speaker 1: Henry will tell you about that. When we return to 1176 00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:45,680 Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly.

Oakland 1181 00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,640 Speaker 1: takes on the Chargers. Bra end. Now for Oakland, they're 1182 01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:05,560 Speaker 1: gonna be without Josh Jacobs. DeAndre Washington gets the start here, 1183 01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,080 Speaker 1: and it might be tempting to pick him up, but 1184 01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,520 Speaker 1: this is not the easiest matchup in the world. What 1185 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,880 Speaker 1: do you think? Yeah, I would pick him up. I mean, 1186 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:14,520 Speaker 1: he's probably not available in many leagues, but he's not 1187 01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:16,800 Speaker 1: a guy that you're just gonna plug in over anybody, 1188 01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,200 Speaker 1: not Mike Boone, not not even like I like Mike 1189 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,360 Speaker 1: Boone a lot more as a plug in play. Yeah, 1190 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,840 Speaker 1: I'm just giving Washington to see here a very low 1191 01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,760 Speaker 1: end RB two. Oakland just sent starting right tackle Trent 1192 01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:28,760 Speaker 1: Brown to i R. That doesn't bode well for Washington, 1193 01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,880 Speaker 1: who's basically a very mediocre football player. He's not I 1194 01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,400 Speaker 1: think that's that's the big problem here is he's not 1195 01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:37,240 Speaker 1: very good. But granted, Mike Boone, the aforementioned Mike Boone 1196 01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,200 Speaker 1: just shredded the Chargers. I still always want to say 1197 01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:41,680 Speaker 1: Clippers when I look at L A. C. On my 1198 01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,040 Speaker 1: notes just shredded the Chargers last week. So there's hope 1199 01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:45,840 Speaker 1: for Washington. He is started with just just at a 1200 01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:49,480 Speaker 1: sea level um per usual. The best start on the 1201 01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:51,520 Speaker 1: Raiders is Darren Waller can to give him a b 1202 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:54,640 Speaker 1: Over the last three weeks, Waller is averaging seven catches 1203 01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:58,040 Speaker 1: at ninety yards. Still hasn't scored in seven straight weeks, 1204 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,880 Speaker 1: though decent shot score against the Chargers, though, who have 1205 01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,400 Speaker 1: allowed three tight end touchdowns over the last four weeks. 1206 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,400 Speaker 1: But it's definitely worth noting that Waller had just three 1207 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,720 Speaker 1: catches for forty yards when these teams met in Week ten, 1208 01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,480 Speaker 1: and the and the Chargers are without all Pro safety 1209 01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:13,840 Speaker 1: Derwin James for that one. So just to be for 1210 01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:15,560 Speaker 1: wall you think you'd get an A in the waste land, 1211 01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,080 Speaker 1: but not just to be Tyrolle Williams on the bench 1212 01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,920 Speaker 1: draws coverage from Casey Hayward. That's an immediate stopper right there, 1213 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,480 Speaker 1: especially for the unreliable Williams. He's on the bench, so 1214 01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:26,600 Speaker 1: is Derek Carr obviously over to the l A side, 1215 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,320 Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon. Just to be for him, I probably should 1216 01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:31,160 Speaker 1: have started with Austin Ekeler, but let me finish the Gordon. 1217 01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:33,560 Speaker 1: I read here hundred and thirty three compoyards and a 1218 01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,160 Speaker 1: touchdown in the first meeting. Had a couple of fumbles 1219 01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:39,080 Speaker 1: last week. Be in the doghouse a little bit, but 1220 01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,000 Speaker 1: over the last four weeks, the Raiders have yielded the 1221 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,240 Speaker 1: second most red zone touches to running back. So you're 1222 01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:47,080 Speaker 1: definitely gonna start Gordon. You are most definitely starting Austin Ekeler. 1223 01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:50,120 Speaker 1: He gets an a yes, pretty quiet in the first meeting, 1224 01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,280 Speaker 1: just two catches and forty eight combo yards. He did 1225 01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:54,800 Speaker 1: catch a touchdown in that one, but since that Week 1226 01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:58,560 Speaker 1: ten matchup, Eckler is averaging three combo yards per game. 1227 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 1: Over that same span, the Raiders have allowed six running 1228 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,760 Speaker 1: back scores and three different backs to top a hundred 1229 01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:06,880 Speaker 1: combo yards. The Raiders have also allowed the eighth most 1230 01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,680 Speaker 1: receiving yards and the second most receiving touchdowns and running back. 1231 01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:13,040 Speaker 1: So Austin Ekeler fire him up a grade, uh keenan 1232 01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,080 Speaker 1: Allen and for him as well. Eight catches for sixty 1233 01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:18,959 Speaker 1: eight yards in the first meeting. His catch totals versus 1234 01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:22,000 Speaker 1: Oakland in the previous three to that game six, eight 1235 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,160 Speaker 1: and nine. He had touchdowns in two of those three. 1236 01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,160 Speaker 1: He always shows up against the Raiders. Easy eight for him. 1237 01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,800 Speaker 1: Mike Williams, I like him this week. I do too. 1238 01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,280 Speaker 1: Just two for fifty five in the first meeting, but 1239 01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:33,920 Speaker 1: he's heating up at the right time. He's had a 1240 01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:36,640 Speaker 1: touch at least sixty yards and a touchdown and back 1241 01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,120 Speaker 1: to back games had five catches for one seventeen in 1242 01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,880 Speaker 1: the game prior. Oakland has allowed five wide receiver touchdowns 1243 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,080 Speaker 1: over the last four so a very safe c for 1244 01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,960 Speaker 1: Mike Williams and h safety for Hunter Henry. Even though 1245 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:51,200 Speaker 1: he's been non existent. He's has not top two catches 1246 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,080 Speaker 1: or thirty nine yards in any of his last three, 1247 01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:54,840 Speaker 1: but he did have four for thirty yards in a 1248 01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:57,480 Speaker 1: touchdown in the Week ten game against the Raiders, who 1249 01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,200 Speaker 1: are also conceding seventy four yards per game to tight 1250 01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,640 Speaker 1: ends over the last three weeks. So when you factor 1251 01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,480 Speaker 1: in Henry Williams and Alan and Nikeler, that's why Philip 1252 01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,480 Speaker 1: Rivers was gonna take a chance from the quarterback. I 1253 01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:11,600 Speaker 1: like it. Uh, Kansas City takes on Chicago, and this 1254 01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:14,240 Speaker 1: is an all or nothing game for Kansas City in 1255 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:16,560 Speaker 1: that I got eight grades on all the usual suspects 1256 01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:18,520 Speaker 1: and bench grades on the guys that you probably would 1257 01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:22,680 Speaker 1: bench anyway. Mahomes obviously grade here. He's the best quarterback 1258 01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:24,959 Speaker 1: the Bears have faced all season, and by a mile, 1259 01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:28,360 Speaker 1: they've mostly faced second and third tier quarterbacking throughout the season. 1260 01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,040 Speaker 1: The best pastor that the Bears have faced this over 1261 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:33,320 Speaker 1: the past several months. Anyways, Dak Prescott, he threw for 1262 01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,360 Speaker 1: three o thirt or four yards. I think my homes 1263 01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,320 Speaker 1: are just fine. I've talked to people that are benching him. 1264 01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:40,000 Speaker 1: I don't understand it. I understand Chicago in Chicago, but 1265 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,440 Speaker 1: still tyreer Kell's and obvious hey as well. He just 1266 01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,120 Speaker 1: scored twice against Denver last week in deep snow. He's 1267 01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:47,960 Speaker 1: been great in all of his healthy games, and he's 1268 01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,440 Speaker 1: probably gonna match up most often against an injured and 1269 01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:54,280 Speaker 1: inconsistent prince of Mukamara and then Travis Kelsey. Over the 1270 01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,600 Speaker 1: past six weeks, no opposing tight end has top fifty 1271 01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,360 Speaker 1: yards against the Bears. They've surrendered just once scored to 1272 01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:03,280 Speaker 1: a tight end in that same time span. But it's 1273 01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,200 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. How do you bens the how do you 1274 01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:08,240 Speaker 1: mention the Titan leader in receptions at yards? And you can't? 1275 01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:11,280 Speaker 1: So he a grade again for Travis Kelsey here very 1276 01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:13,720 Speaker 1: likely gets it done. Then the running backs. What a 1277 01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:17,600 Speaker 1: disaster year for all of the Chiefs running backs, and 1278 01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:19,800 Speaker 1: we all wanted a piece of this offense. So we've 1279 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:21,520 Speaker 1: all and most of us have dabbled in some of 1280 01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,720 Speaker 1: our leagues with little Damien Williams here, at a little 1281 01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:28,160 Speaker 1: of Shawn McCoy here. Maybe it's some Darwin Thompson there. 1282 01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 1: It's all bad across the board. A Chief runner has 1283 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:36,320 Speaker 1: topped eighty one yards one time this year, and it 1284 01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:40,040 Speaker 1: took a ninety one yard run to get there. Yeah. 1285 01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:45,040 Speaker 1: Uh no, Kansas City runner has topped forty four yards 1286 01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:49,000 Speaker 1: since week ten. None have caught more than thirty six 1287 01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:54,120 Speaker 1: yards since week six. Damian Williams might come back and 1288 01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:57,480 Speaker 1: then maybe possibly he takes the lead role here, but 1289 01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:00,680 Speaker 1: are you gonna bet your championship on that? No, dice, 1290 01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:04,160 Speaker 1: all all of the Chiefs runners are on the bench. 1291 01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:07,280 Speaker 1: Let's go to the Chicago side. It's my final chance 1292 01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:12,920 Speaker 1: to work this in. Yeah, the sad trombone Ski. You 1293 01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,800 Speaker 1: gotta pick your spots with m R Biski, and this 1294 01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:19,720 Speaker 1: is not one of them. He's been quasi functional in 1295 01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:23,360 Speaker 1: the last month, but mostly against shaky defense. Is Kansas 1296 01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:30,040 Speaker 1: City secondary has been great effects We still got time 1297 01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:34,200 Speaker 1: seconds over the last month. The average passing game against 1298 01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:40,400 Speaker 1: the Chiefs his only two thirty eight yards. Again, Oh 1299 01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,880 Speaker 1: my lord, that's the ultimate sad trombone ski right there. 1300 01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:49,000 Speaker 1: Oh god, it's great. Allen Robinson's a c great, uh 1301 01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:52,680 Speaker 1: tricky matchup against the Chiefs defense allowing the fewest receptions 1302 01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,240 Speaker 1: to receivers, even less than the Patriots on the Bills. 1303 01:05:55,600 --> 01:06:01,840 Speaker 1: Get this, nine receptions per game. That's nine. Are you 1304 01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,040 Speaker 1: supposed to get production out of any receiver if you're 1305 01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:08,640 Speaker 1: giving up differently allowing nine receptions to receivers. So that's why. 1306 01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,000 Speaker 1: Just to see grade on Alan Robinson, who has otherwise 1307 01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:15,560 Speaker 1: been very safe. Um, and just to see great Anthony Miller, 1308 01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:18,520 Speaker 1: same situation in many ways. Since returning to the Bears 1309 01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:20,760 Speaker 1: full line up since Week eleven, he's been really good. 1310 01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:24,280 Speaker 1: Six most receptions six point six per game. Uh. Kansas 1311 01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:28,560 Speaker 1: City has allowed the fewest receptions receivers, but I just mentioned, um, 1312 01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:32,320 Speaker 1: they are allowing the six most receptions to slot receivers though, 1313 01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:34,920 Speaker 1: And that's why I've got a starting grade on on 1314 01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,520 Speaker 1: Anthony Miller. But otherwise I don't think you want to 1315 01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:40,560 Speaker 1: touch him here, and David Montgomery I should mention him 1316 01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,640 Speaker 1: to see grade. Just one touchdown in his last six games. 1317 01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,280 Speaker 1: He hasn't gone over eighty seven total yards in any 1318 01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:49,000 Speaker 1: of those six games. But the Chiefs have allowed seven 1319 01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:52,160 Speaker 1: one uh seven games of the least ninety nine yards 1320 01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:56,160 Speaker 1: um rushing and they've given up over five yards per carry, 1321 01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:58,800 Speaker 1: had given up over five yards per car before seeing 1322 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:00,680 Speaker 1: New England and Denver in the snow game over the 1323 01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:02,640 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. So there is an opportunity here 1324 01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:04,840 Speaker 1: for David moctgomery. Girls. Something done on the ground. That's 1325 01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 1: how you beat the Chiefs on the ground. Can I 1326 01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,200 Speaker 1: circle back to Mahomes really quick? This is a spin 1327 01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:12,920 Speaker 1: on the revenge angle. I've coined it the Mully game 1328 01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:17,920 Speaker 1: where the Bears drafted Mitch true Bisky over Patrick Mahomes 1329 01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:20,520 Speaker 1: and they want a Mulligan over that one, and Mahomes 1330 01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:24,720 Speaker 1: remembers his name. I'm getting called on draft days. That's 1331 01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:28,920 Speaker 1: really a thing that motivates players. Tyler Lockett, the Panthers 1332 01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,800 Speaker 1: drafted Devin Funch's the first wide receiver to go before 1333 01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,800 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett in the fourth round. Four games against the Panthers, 1334 01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:38,200 Speaker 1: including last week, three receiving touchdowns one rushing touchdown in 1335 01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:41,000 Speaker 1: every game he remembers the Mulla games. He comes up 1336 01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:43,040 Speaker 1: for the Mulla game, So it's a thing. That's a thing. 1337 01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:48,040 Speaker 1: Are you saying that the revenge duck is in place? Yeah, 1338 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:50,360 Speaker 1: it's a it's a that's like an off pan of 1339 01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,760 Speaker 1: a revenge same. So I should give Levy on Bell 1340 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:56,680 Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh. No, the Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is gonna flip the 1341 01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:00,600 Speaker 1: script on the revenge game and drive round review. I 1342 01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:02,280 Speaker 1: think you're right. Let's go to our final matchup of 1343 01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,720 Speaker 1: this segment, Arizona taking out Seattle Kenyan Drake Obviously the 1344 01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:09,080 Speaker 1: bonkers game last week after a month of nothing out 1345 01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:11,400 Speaker 1: of kind of out of the blue, A lot of 1346 01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:13,560 Speaker 1: people are gonna put Kenyan Drake back into the lineups. 1347 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:15,880 Speaker 1: What do you think, Scott, I think they should. Seattle 1348 01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:19,439 Speaker 1: just allowed five rushing touchdowns in the last three weeks 1349 01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:22,080 Speaker 1: to running backs Drake, as you just mentioned, coming off 1350 01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,920 Speaker 1: a huge game where it seems like they're willing to 1351 01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:26,960 Speaker 1: throw it to give it to him at the goal 1352 01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:30,840 Speaker 1: line multiple times. Uh. Seattle was also torched to the 1353 01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,880 Speaker 1: tune of twenty one receptions in those three games. That's 1354 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:36,599 Speaker 1: seven per game. Kenyan Drake can catch the ball. He's 1355 01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:39,879 Speaker 1: explosive on off the catch as well. Um, they're vulnerable 1356 01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,000 Speaker 1: in this spot. Drakes, and Drake's a guy who's had 1357 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:45,040 Speaker 1: at least three catches in nine games this year. I 1358 01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,919 Speaker 1: like him this spot, give him a B grade. I've 1359 01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 1: mentioned the wide receivers though. I like Kyler Murray okay, 1360 01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:54,439 Speaker 1: because he's got that nice rushing floor. Um, he's the 1361 01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:56,479 Speaker 1: only quarterback in the league with three thousand passing yards 1362 01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,920 Speaker 1: and five rushing uh. The Seahawks secondary is beat up, 1363 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,880 Speaker 1: and Shaquille Griffin is a game time decision. Looks like 1364 01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:06,760 Speaker 1: he might miss. Um, that's that. Christian Kirk looks like 1365 01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,040 Speaker 1: he might miss as a game kind of decision as well. 1366 01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,439 Speaker 1: And Larry Fitzgerald he hasn't topped seventy one yards since 1367 01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,560 Speaker 1: week to what a wreck for a season? Yeah, that's 1368 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:17,600 Speaker 1: It's might be the last one for him there. So 1369 01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:21,559 Speaker 1: I think Kyler, with his rushing floor and spreading it around, 1370 01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:23,240 Speaker 1: might get you a C grade, but a C grade 1371 01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:25,760 Speaker 1: for him in a B grade for Drake. On the 1372 01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:28,200 Speaker 1: other side, I have an A grade for Russell Wilson, 1373 01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:30,760 Speaker 1: who has been pretty mediocre in recent weeks, but I 1374 01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,559 Speaker 1: think this is a bounce back matchup from both him 1375 01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:37,080 Speaker 1: and Tyler Larkett. Locket the cards allowing the most recent, 1376 01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:41,519 Speaker 1: most completions, yards and touchdowns to quarterbacks, and Seattle has 1377 01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,960 Speaker 1: more end zone targets than anyone else in the league. 1378 01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:46,719 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett he's going to line up in the slot 1379 01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:50,000 Speaker 1: and uh six different majority slot guys have topped a 1380 01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:54,320 Speaker 1: hundred yards against the Cardinals, So Tyler lock looks like 1381 01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:58,000 Speaker 1: a good play there. He'll miss Pat Pete, who lines 1382 01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:01,000 Speaker 1: up on the same side as d K at Calf normally, 1383 01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:03,320 Speaker 1: so that's gonna work out great for him, Probably not 1384 01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:06,960 Speaker 1: so much as for Metcalf. Pat Peterson had did not 1385 01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,599 Speaker 1: did not look great for the first five six weeks 1386 01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:12,400 Speaker 1: after coming back from his suspension, but he was defensive 1387 01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,360 Speaker 1: Player of the Week last week. It looked really good. 1388 01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:18,560 Speaker 1: So um Hollister A grade. I mean, it's Arizona. You 1389 01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:22,960 Speaker 1: just got to do it right. Rickey steals Jones scored 1390 01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:26,240 Speaker 1: two touchdowns and it's it's a it's a It's as 1391 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:27,800 Speaker 1: good a matchup as you'll have a get for Jacob 1392 01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,560 Speaker 1: Hollister and Chris Carson. I give an a grade. It 1393 01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,080 Speaker 1: looks like c J. Process took over the fumbling due 1394 01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:35,559 Speaker 1: to use there now now that that us out, so 1395 01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:39,599 Speaker 1: Carson Carson shifted that to process, and over the last 1396 01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:42,080 Speaker 1: three the Cards have allowed the third most total yards 1397 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:44,880 Speaker 1: to running backs in a hundred and seventy three per game. 1398 01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:46,920 Speaker 1: I got an A grade on Carson. I'll mention one 1399 01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:50,120 Speaker 1: other thing about Kenyan Drake. Seattle's defensive tackle al would 1400 01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:53,240 Speaker 1: suspended for four games, and so that's gonna open up 1401 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:55,760 Speaker 1: the middle of that running that run defense a little 1402 01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,280 Speaker 1: bit too. Next year, we need a hate the Drake 1403 01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:01,000 Speaker 1: and love the Drake sound clip from Seinfield for our 1404 01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,400 Speaker 1: feelings about Kenyan Drake's prospect. I like that. All right, 1405 01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:07,840 Speaker 1: we'll make that happens that. I love that. I wish 1406 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,880 Speaker 1: we had. Why didn't you think of this an hour ago? Brian? Alright, brand, 1407 01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,840 Speaker 1: let's start the show over, start over, do over. I'm 1408 01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:16,479 Speaker 1: so sorry the whole season.

Dallas taking on Philadelphia. What do 1411 01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,519 Speaker 1: you do with Dak Prescott? He's got the shoulder injury. 1412 01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:30,559 Speaker 1: Is this going How much is this going to affect 1413 01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,599 Speaker 1: his passing? He's it's such a it's such a good matchup. 1414 01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,759 Speaker 1: I didn't realize he had not missed a practice until 1415 01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:40,200 Speaker 1: like within the last week or two in his entire career, unbelievable. 1416 01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:42,720 Speaker 1: We'll find out, we'll find out if that workhorse can 1417 01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:44,840 Speaker 1: keep it going against Philadelphia when we come back to 1418 01:11:44,920 --> 01:12:03,160 Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly.

This is the end 1421 01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:10,480 Speaker 1: over the air radio show and we do both. Um, 1422 01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:12,120 Speaker 1: so let's break it down this way, just to be 1423 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:15,520 Speaker 1: clear on this. From weeks one really from the preseason 1424 01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:18,479 Speaker 1: beginning in early August all the way to week sixteen, 1425 01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:22,439 Speaker 1: we do this two hourish version of Fantasy Football Weekly, 1426 01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:24,960 Speaker 1: which hopefully you're enjoying now including over the air and 1427 01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:29,080 Speaker 1: many radio stations.

So that's 1431 01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:39,720 Speaker 1: what's coming down. That's what's coming down the road for 1432 01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:41,960 Speaker 1: you guys on Heart Radio on I Heart Radio on 1433 01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:43,760 Speaker 1: our own channel, and but we're also on it's on 1434 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,559 Speaker 1: iTunes and you know, it's every major podcasting platform.

By the way, thank 1438 01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:55,560 Speaker 1: you to the stations that have carried us. Let's go 1439 01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,840 Speaker 1: to our final three matchups, and we begin with Dallas 1440 01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:02,760 Speaker 1: taking on Philadelphia. Brian tons of consternation from people at 1441 01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,040 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, who's had a by and large, a very 1442 01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:08,479 Speaker 1: good year, in a juicy matchup with Philadelphia, but he's 1443 01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:13,080 Speaker 1: got this shoulder injury. What do you think? Yeah, the battle, 1444 01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:15,800 Speaker 1: this is like the NFC East Championship game, by the way, 1445 01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,040 Speaker 1: even though this whole division should be fired into the 1446 01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:21,519 Speaker 1: sun forever, but yeah, starry with Dak Prescott. It's a 1447 01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:24,120 Speaker 1: little dramatic, but okay, at least this season the ship 1448 01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:26,920 Speaker 1: they don't deserve a playoff team. But anyway, Dak Prescott 1449 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:29,200 Speaker 1: should be an a right if he was healthy. It's 1450 01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:31,080 Speaker 1: an obvious a going up against Philly, even though he 1451 01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:34,599 Speaker 1: had just two thirty nine uh and one passing when 1452 01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:36,960 Speaker 1: Philly or when Dallas routed Philly in mid October, he 1453 01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:39,320 Speaker 1: had thirty yards rushing in a rushing touchdown, but he 1454 01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:42,280 Speaker 1: didn't have this shoulder injury. Um, but he's not on 1455 01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,400 Speaker 1: the injury report. He was taken off the injury report 1456 01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:47,599 Speaker 1: on Friday. He hasn't thrown a football all week, though 1457 01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:50,920 Speaker 1: he's he's gonna try and throw on Saturday. I can't 1458 01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:53,280 Speaker 1: start him. I can't not he's gonna start this game. 1459 01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:55,200 Speaker 1: He's gonna start the game, but you can't trust him 1460 01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:57,280 Speaker 1: to finish it. But don't you think that. To me, 1461 01:13:57,360 --> 01:13:59,920 Speaker 1: it's all about It's all about the risk assessment of 1462 01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:02,880 Speaker 1: your own team. If you if you are the favorite 1463 01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,200 Speaker 1: and you can pivot from Dak Prescott to somebody safer, 1464 01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:09,519 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick, you know whatever, then I would do that. 1465 01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:11,879 Speaker 1: But if you're the underdog, I think you need this matchup, 1466 01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:13,879 Speaker 1: and I think you roll the dice because the Eagles 1467 01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:17,160 Speaker 1: secondary so bad. Ronald Darby is getting destroyed out there 1468 01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:20,240 Speaker 1: fair enough, but I think there are similar ceilings likely 1469 01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:23,280 Speaker 1: available on the waiverile waiver wire, like your Drew Lock 1470 01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:29,000 Speaker 1: Daniel Jon Jones. So man, it's I cannot fault you 1471 01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,280 Speaker 1: for starting Dak Prescott, especially like you said, you feel 1472 01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:33,320 Speaker 1: like you're a big underdog, but just be very cautious. 1473 01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:35,000 Speaker 1: He might not finish this game. But the Eagles have 1474 01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:38,200 Speaker 1: given up three straight big passing days to Ryan Fitzpatrick, 1475 01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:41,840 Speaker 1: Eli Manning and Dwayne Haskins. Dak Prescott way better than 1476 01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:44,800 Speaker 1: all those guys. So what a headache though, So just 1477 01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:47,400 Speaker 1: monitor the situation throughout the week. But he's not an 1478 01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:51,840 Speaker 1: automatic start by any means. Marie Cooper probably is, even 1479 01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:55,840 Speaker 1: if for whatever reason Cooper Rush is the quarterback. Well, 1480 01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:57,639 Speaker 1: you gotta drop everyone to let a grave. But DA's 1481 01:14:57,640 --> 01:15:00,800 Speaker 1: gonna start. But a for Marie Cooper five for one 1482 01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:03,080 Speaker 1: oh six in the first game. Uh, the Eagles have 1483 01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:06,120 Speaker 1: surrendered seven wide receiver touchdowns over the last four weeks. 1484 01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,639 Speaker 1: That puts Michael Gallup in play as well. Give him 1485 01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:10,720 Speaker 1: a see here just three for thirty four in that 1486 01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,519 Speaker 1: first meeting. But again, those seven total touchdowns over the 1487 01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:17,040 Speaker 1: last four weeks to wide receivers very enticing, and opposing 1488 01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:19,280 Speaker 1: wide receivers are averaging more than a hundred and ninety 1489 01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:21,479 Speaker 1: yards per game against Philly over those that over that 1490 01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:23,680 Speaker 1: same four week spans. So you can't start Gallop with 1491 01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,720 Speaker 1: some confidence. Do not start Jason Witten, though, You're not 1492 01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:28,720 Speaker 1: starting Jason Witten if you're in a championship game or 1493 01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:32,760 Speaker 1: a Constellation game. Just for fun, get this, Witten has 1494 01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:36,519 Speaker 1: scored in just one of his last fifteen games against 1495 01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:40,280 Speaker 1: the Eagles. Wow, that's weird, very weird. So Witten on 1496 01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:43,760 Speaker 1: your bench, Zeke not on your bench. One eleven and 1497 01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:47,000 Speaker 1: one rushing in the first game, added six for thirty 1498 01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,400 Speaker 1: six yards through the air as well. He has now 1499 01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:52,120 Speaker 1: at least one and forty combo yards in each of 1500 01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,840 Speaker 1: his five career meetings with the Eagles. So easy a 1501 01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:57,760 Speaker 1: for Zeke. I almost want to give Tony Pollard to 1502 01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,759 Speaker 1: see here. He's so good, but you can't rust his touches. 1503 01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:03,240 Speaker 1: But he's a guy. If you have an empty spot 1504 01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:05,200 Speaker 1: on your dynasty roster, go out and grab him right 1505 01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:06,800 Speaker 1: now going into next year, because you never know what 1506 01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,519 Speaker 1: can happen with Zeke in the offseason, and Pollard has 1507 01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:14,679 Speaker 1: games so mostly Pollard is owned by the handcuff by now. 1508 01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,760 Speaker 1: But for whatever reason he's out there, go grab him 1509 01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:19,760 Speaker 1: and uh, that is it for the Dallas side. Over 1510 01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:22,439 Speaker 1: to Philly Miles Sanders going to give him a b here. 1511 01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:24,719 Speaker 1: His box score from the first meeting is irrelevant because 1512 01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,599 Speaker 1: Jordan Howard was in the fold. Howard very unlikely to return, 1513 01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:30,160 Speaker 1: so Sanders will be the featured back yet again. But 1514 01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:32,280 Speaker 1: Dallas has been stout against some posting backs over the 1515 01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:34,960 Speaker 1: last three weeks, holding them to under ninety four Combo 1516 01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:38,519 Speaker 1: yards per game. That said, it was Buffalo Chicago and 1517 01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:41,439 Speaker 1: the Rams not the most impressive backfields. Todd Gurley did 1518 01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:44,559 Speaker 1: score via ground and air last week, but that wasn't 1519 01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:47,639 Speaker 1: a major garbage time. But Sanders will get the touches. 1520 01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:51,280 Speaker 1: He gets a b Zach and H Boston Scott. I 1521 01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:52,720 Speaker 1: should say was might take a chance to me wide 1522 01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:55,679 Speaker 1: receiver in PPR. Dallas been very friendly to opposing running 1523 01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:57,919 Speaker 1: backs through the air, and they have no wide receivers 1524 01:16:57,920 --> 01:16:59,840 Speaker 1: the Eagles. That is, so zach Ertz gets an a 1525 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:02,479 Speaker 1: limited in the first meeting, just two catches for thirty 1526 01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:04,960 Speaker 1: eight yards. But again that was way back in week seven. 1527 01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,320 Speaker 1: Things are different now. Basically there are no wide receivers 1528 01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:09,479 Speaker 1: on the Eagles and Dallas top eight and receptions and 1529 01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:13,160 Speaker 1: yards surrender to tight ends. Last week, Tyler Higbee and 1530 01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:16,479 Speaker 1: something called Johnny Month the Johnny Month Cake combined for 1531 01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:19,320 Speaker 1: fourteen catches in a hundred twenty six yards against Dallas. 1532 01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:22,040 Speaker 1: So Arth isn't play and so is his UH tight 1533 01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:24,799 Speaker 1: end mate Dallas Goddard. He gets to see four catches 1534 01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:27,280 Speaker 1: for sixty nine nice yards in the first meeting and 1535 01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:31,960 Speaker 1: a touchdown. So Goddard is in play and Greg Ward. 1536 01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:36,920 Speaker 1: I've got a bunch of people asked me about something. Yeah, 1537 01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,679 Speaker 1: I cannot advocate starting Greg Ward in your championship game. 1538 01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,240 Speaker 1: But fanball dot com Greg Ward's pretty dang cheap, and 1539 01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:46,160 Speaker 1: he's the number one wide receiver on the Eagles. I 1540 01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:48,920 Speaker 1: guess you know, quote unquote wide receiver. But then Carson Wentz. 1541 01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:51,599 Speaker 1: He wasn't a wide receiver for most of his career, 1542 01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:53,920 Speaker 1: so it was even a football player. I'm not so 1543 01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,680 Speaker 1: sure that Carson went But you don't remember a f no, 1544 01:17:56,880 --> 01:18:01,040 Speaker 1: I know, of course I do. I can't wait for XFL. 1545 01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:05,719 Speaker 1: Oh you should have a show about that Carson Wentz 1546 01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:09,439 Speaker 1: on the bench. I mean, I am personally benching Carson 1547 01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:13,200 Speaker 1: wins in two quarterback leagues in my championships, just for 1548 01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:15,679 Speaker 1: one in the first meeting. And although he's been hot 1549 01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,320 Speaker 1: over the last three weeks, he's thrown the ball forty three, 1550 01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,680 Speaker 1: fifty and forty six times in those three games. If 1551 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:26,000 Speaker 1: you take away the serious garbage time for Dallas when 1552 01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:29,439 Speaker 1: they played Washington Miami, the Rams and their two games 1553 01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:31,720 Speaker 1: against the Giants got through the ball fifty two times 1554 01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,639 Speaker 1: last week in garbage time. The Cowboys are yielding thirty 1555 01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:37,040 Speaker 1: pass attempts per game. Winz isn't gonna see the volume 1556 01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:39,679 Speaker 1: needs to be briable in fantasy. So he's on the bench. 1557 01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:42,240 Speaker 1: He is on the bench Monday Night, and we've even 1558 01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:44,960 Speaker 1: though this is the last game by timing wise Monday 1559 01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:47,280 Speaker 1: Night as this one, we've got one more after this. 1560 01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:49,559 Speaker 1: We'll talk about Detroy Denver in a minute, but the 1561 01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:52,559 Speaker 1: Monday night game plenty of Injurgue. Here first we start 1562 01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:55,200 Speaker 1: with the passing game for the Packers. Aaron Rodgers all 1563 01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:57,960 Speaker 1: or nothing this year. He's had these four explosive games 1564 01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:00,600 Speaker 1: and his other games have been a disaster over the 1565 01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:03,639 Speaker 1: last five weeks. He had the explosive game against the Giants, 1566 01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:08,120 Speaker 1: and then he had the other games. We averaged one 1567 01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:12,560 Speaker 1: hundred seventy nine yards and zero point eight touched Aaron 1568 01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:16,400 Speaker 1: Rodgers that I told people to drop him for their 1569 01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:18,880 Speaker 1: their fantasy playoffs. Yeah, a few weeks ago they would 1570 01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:22,439 Speaker 1: have panned out. Do dud games so free and one 1571 01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,840 Speaker 1: something like that. Here comes the Vikings now in Minnesota, 1572 01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:27,760 Speaker 1: in Minnesota where things are a little bit different, he 1573 01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:29,720 Speaker 1: has not thrown for over two and twelve yards and 1574 01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:32,519 Speaker 1: over seven years he has not thrown multiple touchdowns and 1575 01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:35,960 Speaker 1: over five years. Granted, better defense, better defense, this is 1576 01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:40,280 Speaker 1: an unusually bad Vikings cornerback situation. The Vikings have got 1577 01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:43,560 Speaker 1: three cornerbacks that they sort of they're rotating on the outside. 1578 01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:47,360 Speaker 1: Those three guys have Pro Football Focus ranks of cornerback 1579 01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:53,160 Speaker 1: seventy two, cornerback eighty three, and cornerback. It's not good. Um. 1580 01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:56,679 Speaker 1: Good quarterbacks have fared well against the Vikings. Matt Ryan, 1581 01:19:57,320 --> 01:20:01,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in the previous game, Carson Wentz, Matthew Stafford, 1582 01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:05,719 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, Russell Wilson. Those are good quarterbacks. They averaged 1583 01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,840 Speaker 1: against Minnesota three hundred three yards and two and a 1584 01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,800 Speaker 1: half touchdowns. That's why I've got to be great on 1585 01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:15,120 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, A grade and Davante Adams. Over the last 1586 01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:18,120 Speaker 1: five games, Minnesota's allowing almost two hundred yards per game 1587 01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:20,800 Speaker 1: to receivers. They've given up six receiver scores in the 1588 01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:25,479 Speaker 1: five games there, especially week against outside receivers where Adams 1589 01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:28,400 Speaker 1: runs most of his routes. He posted a one hundred 1590 01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:31,120 Speaker 1: yard game in the first meeting with the Vikings. He's 1591 01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:33,639 Speaker 1: got an A grade in this game. Now, might take 1592 01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:36,879 Speaker 1: a chance on me. Receiver was as a reminder Allen Lazard, 1593 01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:39,240 Speaker 1: who I also think is a plausible dart throw for 1594 01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:41,439 Speaker 1: all the reasons that I just mentioned. Let's go to 1595 01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:44,479 Speaker 1: Aaron Rod Aaron Jones. Excuse me, there's me. A lot 1596 01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:46,439 Speaker 1: of people are gonna start Aaron Jones in the Championship 1597 01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:48,559 Speaker 1: because he's coming off a big game. He put up 1598 01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:51,240 Speaker 1: a hundred fifty total yards and a score against Minnesota 1599 01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:54,200 Speaker 1: in the earlier matchup as well. But the Vikings are 1600 01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:57,240 Speaker 1: such a good run defense at home. No back his 1601 01:20:57,320 --> 01:21:01,400 Speaker 1: top sixty seven rushing yards at US Banks Stadium. The 1602 01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:04,960 Speaker 1: Vikings allowed the sixth fewest rushing yards in their home games. 1603 01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:07,320 Speaker 1: They give up three point nine yards per carry at home. 1604 01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:10,000 Speaker 1: They've allowed one rushing touchdown at home, and it was 1605 01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:13,360 Speaker 1: a goal line plunge to a fullback. It's a brutal 1606 01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:16,200 Speaker 1: matchup for Aaron Jones. I've got only a C grade 1607 01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:17,720 Speaker 1: on him, and I know a lot of people are 1608 01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:20,360 Speaker 1: gonna start him. It's a way more uphill battle than 1609 01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:22,680 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people realize. Jamal Williams is 1610 01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:25,240 Speaker 1: on the bench, just seven touches and nine touches over 1611 01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:27,479 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. You can't play with fire with 1612 01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:29,800 Speaker 1: a low volume back within a brutal road matchup in 1613 01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:32,559 Speaker 1: a championship week, he is on the bench. Let's go 1614 01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:34,760 Speaker 1: to the Viking side. Mike Boone was might take a 1615 01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:37,240 Speaker 1: chance on me running back. We believe that Mike Boon 1616 01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:40,240 Speaker 1: will be the starter. That there's even a chance Dalvin 1617 01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:43,320 Speaker 1: Cook will be active in this game and create hysteria 1618 01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:46,160 Speaker 1: on Monday night when he's active and everybody's in a panic. 1619 01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:48,280 Speaker 1: I think it would be for emergency use. We've seen 1620 01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:51,120 Speaker 1: him on snapcounts before too. I think Mike Boone gets 1621 01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:54,840 Speaker 1: the start here, and he's good. He is a good 1622 01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:58,200 Speaker 1: running back. Love him. We we do like him a 1623 01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:00,160 Speaker 1: lot here. By the way, he was the number are 1624 01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:03,679 Speaker 1: too spark athlete behind uh Kwan Barkley in that class 1625 01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:07,400 Speaker 1: which which is super super athlete. Yeah, I'm a big 1626 01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,200 Speaker 1: fan of Mike bone and he's a B grade here 1627 01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:12,680 Speaker 1: and we discussed him earlier, and take a chance on me. 1628 01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:14,599 Speaker 1: So now let's go to the passing game where Kirk 1629 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:17,360 Speaker 1: Cousins gets a B grade. The Green Bay secondary looks 1630 01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:20,599 Speaker 1: very good on paper, but here are the last five 1631 01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:26,879 Speaker 1: quarterbacks They've faced Kyle Allen, Jimmy Garoppolo, Daniel Jones, Dwayne 1632 01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:32,240 Speaker 1: Haskins and don't play it at least it's it's the 1633 01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:36,559 Speaker 1: short one, Sad Drombone ski Um. This is a very 1634 01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 1: good opportunity for Kirk Cousins. Who's the best the best 1635 01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:42,680 Speaker 1: quarterback they He's faced the best quarterback they've faced by 1636 01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:46,080 Speaker 1: a mile, and with the with the running back situation, 1637 01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:48,240 Speaker 1: I think Cousins might throw a few more passes than 1638 01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:51,639 Speaker 1: normal here. This is a starting opportunity for Kirk Cousins. 1639 01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:54,759 Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs gets an A grade. He has a strong 1640 01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,439 Speaker 1: track record of success against the Packers. He has found 1641 01:22:57,479 --> 01:23:00,879 Speaker 1: the end zone in six straight games against the Packers. 1642 01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,800 Speaker 1: It feels like a tough matchup on the outside against JR. Alexander, 1643 01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:09,040 Speaker 1: but Stefan Diggs has overcome in recent weeks. Casey Hayward, 1644 01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:12,840 Speaker 1: Chris Harris, Darius Slay all right. Game on Steph Diggs 1645 01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:15,920 Speaker 1: A grade. Adam theland works out of the slot. I'd 1646 01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,800 Speaker 1: like to think that last week was like knocked the 1647 01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:22,200 Speaker 1: rust off, get confidence in the hamstring, feel better. He's 1648 01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:24,559 Speaker 1: not hasn't been on the injury port all week. I 1649 01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:26,760 Speaker 1: think This is a good spot for Adam Feeling here. 1650 01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:29,360 Speaker 1: Now he's got a slightly positive matchup in this lot 1651 01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:32,439 Speaker 1: against Traymont Williams, who just allowed Anthony Miller to have 1652 01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:36,120 Speaker 1: one hundred yards. Feeling his history has historically played very 1653 01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:38,680 Speaker 1: well when these teams have met, they've posted set. He 1654 01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:41,720 Speaker 1: has posted seventy five yards or more in five of 1655 01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:45,400 Speaker 1: the last six against the Packers. So he gets a 1656 01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:50,439 Speaker 1: B grade in this one. Um, Kyle Rudolph on the bench. Really, 1657 01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:53,799 Speaker 1: Feeland coming back has really that's about it for Rudy. 1658 01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:56,360 Speaker 1: Uh two catches last week with Theland back. I don't 1659 01:23:56,400 --> 01:24:00,960 Speaker 1: think we can trust him here. Nerf Smith say thing, Um, 1660 01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:03,400 Speaker 1: those are guys that were much more plausible when Feeling 1661 01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:06,519 Speaker 1: was out. All right, let's go to our final matchup 1662 01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:10,880 Speaker 1: of the year Detroit. Why do we say David blow 1663 01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:14,120 Speaker 1: for the very end of our final matchup? Dry taking 1664 01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:16,760 Speaker 1: on Denver? Is there anything alike in Detroit carry and 1665 01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:19,960 Speaker 1: Johnson coming back? Yeah? Yeah, but I'm not trusting him, 1666 01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:23,040 Speaker 1: especially after Matt Patricia said this week that he didn't 1667 01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:25,519 Speaker 1: want to use the word limit. But they'll be smart 1668 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:28,800 Speaker 1: about it. I don't like any of the running backs 1669 01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:31,000 Speaker 1: on that side. You can't start David blow in your 1670 01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:35,320 Speaker 1: championship game against his Denver defense, But what about what 1671 01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:38,320 Speaker 1: about his receivers. I'm giving Kenny god a see because 1672 01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:41,759 Speaker 1: he's gonna face up against Chris Harris Jr. His numbers 1673 01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,040 Speaker 1: have gone down weekly with David blow he did scoring 1674 01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:46,200 Speaker 1: two of them. He's averaging seven targets a game. He 1675 01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:48,160 Speaker 1: might get enough just to get you a C grade. 1676 01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:51,599 Speaker 1: Danny end Danny Amandla is getting a ton of targets 1677 01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:54,519 Speaker 1: with blow In. Leads a team and targets with blow In. 1678 01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:58,120 Speaker 1: Um last week was his only game over thirty five yards, 1679 01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:01,240 Speaker 1: though that sucks even though he's jean five catches per game. 1680 01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm giving him a C grade though now with Kareem 1681 01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:07,839 Speaker 1: Jackson suspended, that secondary should be a little easier to uh, 1682 01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:10,439 Speaker 1: a little easier to navigate. And the targets did jump 1683 01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,280 Speaker 1: when Hockinson went on ID. So I'm giving Avendola see. 1684 01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:15,280 Speaker 1: He might get you four or five catches, and it's 1685 01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:16,960 Speaker 1: it's a really I don't know that you should really 1686 01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:20,040 Speaker 1: start him Championship week. That's for a bye week and 1687 01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:21,880 Speaker 1: I just need some guy to give me five catches 1688 01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:24,519 Speaker 1: and forty five yards that's probably much more fair. Drew 1689 01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:26,479 Speaker 1: Lock on the other side, was your take, Holm, I 1690 01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:29,920 Speaker 1: really I had a really high grade on him this week. Um, 1691 01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:32,559 Speaker 1: I really like him. I really like Sutton, even though 1692 01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:35,599 Speaker 1: he will get possibly slay and but you know, he's 1693 01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:37,400 Speaker 1: been digged up all year. He hasn't been the sleigh 1694 01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:41,240 Speaker 1: of old. Lions just allowed a million yards to Tampa 1695 01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,599 Speaker 1: Bay last year, averaging eight Sutton is after week yeah, 1696 01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:47,679 Speaker 1: last week averaging eight targets per game and seven different 1697 01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,799 Speaker 1: receivers had ninety plus yards and or a score um 1698 01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:54,000 Speaker 1: against the Lions in just the last three weeks. Not 1699 01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:58,320 Speaker 1: on the season last three weeks. Fant if he does go, 1700 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:00,559 Speaker 1: I have him on the bench. He's in with three 1701 01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:04,519 Speaker 1: different injuries at the moment. With the running backs. I 1702 01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:07,280 Speaker 1: think this might be a Philip Lindsay game. Yeah, yeah, 1703 01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:09,920 Speaker 1: I had to. I had like a C grade. I 1704 01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:11,519 Speaker 1: moved him up to a B grade the more I 1705 01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:15,000 Speaker 1: looked at it. The Lions of uh the there without 1706 01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:18,639 Speaker 1: Mike Daniels, which is a huge difference for Philip Lindsay. Yep, 1707 01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:21,960 Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay. I didn't realize this. He's had more carries 1708 01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:24,880 Speaker 1: than Royce Freeman in every single game this year, and 1709 01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:27,559 Speaker 1: many of his big games came in wins. And this 1710 01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:29,400 Speaker 1: is a game I think that they should, the Denver 1711 01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:32,519 Speaker 1: Broncos should win. Every single running back. The total seventeen 1712 01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:35,920 Speaker 1: or more touches averaged a hundred seventeen yards. That's a 1713 01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:38,880 Speaker 1: number that Lindsay's hit seventeen times. Is there are eight 1714 01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:41,400 Speaker 1: times this year the seventeen touches. So I have a 1715 01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:43,200 Speaker 1: I have a you know, a little B grade, A 1716 01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:46,479 Speaker 1: B grade on Lindsay. I like Lindsey a lot um 1717 01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:47,920 Speaker 1: I don't have. I was trying to dig up the 1718 01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:50,240 Speaker 1: number in fun. I can't. I can't quite find it. 1719 01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:53,920 Speaker 1: Um my mom, momum, Shoot, yeah, I can't quite find it. 1720 01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:57,719 Speaker 1: But I think without Mike Daniels, the Lions are giving 1721 01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:00,680 Speaker 1: up right around five yards per carry, which is a 1722 01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:05,680 Speaker 1: big difference for sure. That's it for that matchup, final matchup? Done? 1723 01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:08,479 Speaker 1: All right? Nice? Uh, this is a perfect time of 1724 01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:12,320 Speaker 1: year while you've got all of your owners attention to 1725 01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:15,439 Speaker 1: plant the seed for the rule changes you want next season. 1726 01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:19,960 Speaker 1: We have two rules that every league mostly I feel 1727 01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:21,479 Speaker 1: like play. However you want to play. You can find 1728 01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:23,280 Speaker 1: nine other idiots I want to play that you want 1729 01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:25,680 Speaker 1: to you want to play great. Two rules that every 1730 01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:29,960 Speaker 1: league should have free agent blind bidding in season. You 1731 01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:31,920 Speaker 1: have to be able to. That's the only fair way 1732 01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:34,600 Speaker 1: to distribute free agents is through blind bidding. Have to 1733 01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:38,800 Speaker 1: have it. Second, no veto. No league should have a veto. 1734 01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:42,679 Speaker 1: Other owners should have no say in the trades between 1735 01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:45,040 Speaker 1: two owners. And Scott, I know you deal with this 1736 01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:47,080 Speaker 1: just like I do. And everybody ever to comeback is 1737 01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:48,559 Speaker 1: always well, what do you What are you gonna do 1738 01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:53,200 Speaker 1: when when somebody tanks and they trade, they trade Christian 1739 01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:56,160 Speaker 1: McCaffrey for a bag of chips, what are you gonna do? Well, 1740 01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:59,559 Speaker 1: that's collusion, come out, that's collusion. That's not trade veto, 1741 01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:02,479 Speaker 1: that's calue. Commissioner can reverse that trade and kick him 1742 01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:05,639 Speaker 1: out or whatever your punishment is. But that's that's that's 1743 01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:08,559 Speaker 1: a different thing than trade. Vita. Absolutely, you're exactly right 1744 01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:10,840 Speaker 1: about that. And you know one of the rule changes 1745 01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:12,599 Speaker 1: I think most leagues ought to have, and we're seeing 1746 01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:15,000 Speaker 1: more and more of this, that last spot in your 1747 01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:19,400 Speaker 1: playoffs should go to an otherwise deserving team that wouldn't 1748 01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:21,400 Speaker 1: get in. You could be most total points scored of 1749 01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:24,360 Speaker 1: the season if you're on a system that supports all play, 1750 01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:26,559 Speaker 1: you could have the highest winning percentage of all play 1751 01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:29,400 Speaker 1: for that last spot. Give that last spot to the 1752 01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:34,519 Speaker 1: next to the best team that wouldn't otherwise get in. Hey, guys, 1753 01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:37,280 Speaker 1: I want to thank my co host Matt Harrison, Christian Peterson, 1754 01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:40,840 Speaker 1: Scott Fish right here, Brian Johnson.
