Here's your host. Welcome to 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:29.640 Fantasy Football Weekly, Week number eight. I am Paul Charchi 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:34.200 and my co host today are Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. Hello, guys, Hey, 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:38.000 what's going on? Good to be back to Harrison. Yes, 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:44.600 you're you're already prepping your bend Benducci was sound a 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:48.440 lot like Mario, by the way, No, there's there's no 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:50.879 now correlation there. What happened is they were sick of 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.320 people getting three tough questions wrong. So you brought me, 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:56.440 brought you back to hammer away three tough questions. We 0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:58.840 will have three tough questions later in the show. We 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.400 will also provide fine players upon whom you can take 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:05.760 a chance premature speculation where we give you players we 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.840 believe everybody's gonna want to pick up next week, but 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:12.040 you will already have because you were listening to this show. 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.959 And we will break down every game Fantasy style with 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.440 letter grades and every meaningful player. First, I want to 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.280 start with this guys, we've got our first weekend with 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:27.400 probable weather issues. We've got Green Bay with windy conditions, 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.320 Cleveland with wind and rain, Buffalo with rain, and it's 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.560 cold rain at that at this year. So tell me 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:39.399 the point at which you start changing your lineups when 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:44.480 when weather strikes almost never, it has to be it 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.400 has to be really really implement Uh. These are these 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.960 are high wind ones, and there's a lot of data 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.920 that supports anything twenty miles per or or less. Uh 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.640 does not change the does not impact the game or 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.440 the fantasy stats too much. If it's twenty five miles 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:05.400 per hour or more and sustained winds with high gus. Uh. 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.000 There's a very small sample size of those, but it's 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.040 shown that passing attempts go down, Russian attempts go up, 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:15.040 but the Russian attempts aren't as efficient, so the Russian 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.320 stats stay about the same and the passing stats go down. Yeah, 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:19.920 so you're gonna see a lot more three and ounce 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.160 and stuff like that, and the long kicking game's gone. 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.919 Now all of these games have the threat of that 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:29.240 twenty wins. I mean, that's that is wind is a 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:34.480 bigger deterrent than precipitation is in many cases, you know, 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.120 because wind really does affect the ball more than the 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.359 precipitation does kickers. If you play in a league that 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.040 still does kickers if it's very windy, I would usually 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.280 take them out of those games. You don't know which 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:50.080 direction they're they're they're going. In that perspective, they'll probably 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.760 kick towards the field goal. Well, yeah, but which ways 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.639 the wind going? Now, A wet surface I don't think 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.760 changes a lot with kickers, but a flippery surface does. 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:06.560 So if you've got snow, sleet, or seat, then I 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.480 think you got to be worried about the footing for 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:12.200 the kickers. How about remember that Chicago game where the 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.119 fog was like I think, I don't you can only 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.440 see a foot in front of you. That was one 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.760 of the great games of all time. Eventually they moved 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.320 the camera down to like field level just you can 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.080 sort of see the blobs moving around the field. That 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.919 was a great game. I was in Las Vegas watching 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.360 it with all the other betting degenerates for that game, 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.399 and that was that was a ton Did you bet 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.880 the under on that one? You know, I don't remember 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:37.400 that if I did or didn't. But man, with that 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.600 a bit a good play, I got it. Although you 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:43.000 would think if the defense can't see the ball, you 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.000 could just run it like any direction you want. The 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.080 refs also can't see the ball, so they can't put 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.160 their hands up for a touchdown. You just can't out 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:55.440 in the end zone and wait until somebody finds you anyway. Um, 0:03:55.520 --> 0:04:00.560 Mostly our advice is don't panic. Yeah, right, were Okay, 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.680 let's get into some of the matchups, beginning with the 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.520 Rams taking on the Dolphins. This is the very first 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.600 game for twah. But let's start on the other side 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.000 in the field with the Rams and what's been a 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:15.400 pretty inconsistent passing attack. What do you expect from Jared Goff? 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:19.160 It really has been inconsistent. Goff has multiple touchdowns and 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.240 five of his six, but he's just averaging over two 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.240 hundred fifty yards per game. He's only passing the ball 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.520 thirty two times per games. That's part of the problem. Yeah, 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.479 he's not not passing the ball a ton. The Dolphins 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.679 d though, has been lit up by some good qbs 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:33.919 and held down bad qbs like you know what the 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.919 average defense generally does. Goff probably finds himself on the 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.800 upper end of those average quarterbacks, maybe two hundred plus 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.200 yards one of two touchdowns. I'm giving him a C. 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.000 I I don't know that it's starting, but he is 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.000 also not going to kill you if you throw them in. Yeah, 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.440 it sounds right. Uh, Cooper Cup, I'm gonna give him 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.200 a B. Cup has the match you want here. He's 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.719 leading the team in targets, catches, yards, only has one 0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:00.760 game with fewer than four grabs. Best cornerback matchup as well. 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.320 Give me Cup with a B. Woods. He's getting to see. 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.000 He's still been consistent, but not the consistent he was 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.560 over the last couple of years, like like consistent on 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:14.919 a slightly lower level. Um. He might get Xavien Howard 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.360 in this one, which is a little concerning, but he's 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.520 been very good. Yeah, I wouldn't blame you for benching him, 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.599 but I'm guessing you probably don't have a lot of 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:27.320 better options than uh, Robert Woods with the potential target share, 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.039 he could get Robert C. Grade for Robert Woods the 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:32.800 rest of the passing in and I'm benching. I know 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.080 Reynolds has had a good game last week, I can't 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.799 trust it this week against a better defense. Higbie and Everett. 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.279 If Higbee does go, they're definitely benched. If he doesn't, 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.720 I can't trust evert. You know, he's he's a two 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.040 to three catch twenty at thirty five yard guy. So uh, Henderson, 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.520 I am given a b too. Though he's outtouched Brown 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.880 forty seven to twenty nine of the last three weeks 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.000 getting getting a lot of the It's it's crazy because 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.480 he's now the guy getting the goal line work too. Um, 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.120 let's see three running backs under the age of thirty 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.480 seven to hit that, to hit the fourteen plus touch volume, 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.600 that's a Frank Gore stat and take him out of it. Uh, 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.640 to hit the fourteen plus touch volume, all hit a 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.000 hundred yards against the Dolphins, I think I think Henderson 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:19.400 can get that fourteen touches, So I think he's got 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.040 the possibility to get near a hundred yards. And this 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.160 surprised me. About Henderson fourth in the NFL in red 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.920 zone carries and fourth in the NFL in goal line carriers, 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.320 you would think it would add up to bigger splash 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.920 with fantasy game. It's shocking, but at some point that's 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.000 gotta flip. If you're getting that many opportunities in those spots. 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.400 It's gonna work. It's got to work out eventually. By 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.360 the way, side note on Darrell Henderson Pro Football Focus 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:48.440 his highest rated healthy running back right now, Well, still 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.520 give the ball to Malcolm Brown out of all six 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.080 of them. Right on the other side, we got to 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.800 a tongue of iloa. I like that. There's no one 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:58.640 in there, but there's kind of there is. You have 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.120 to say it like there's a pretend there's an end 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.440 yes to a tongue of violoa. Uh. He's left handed 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.039 and the only left hander in the league, so I 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:11.080 expect that to completely confuse opposing defenses who were unaware 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.080 that keps are allowed to throw with the other hand. 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.680 Not since Michael Vick have we seen a south paw. 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.920 I was gonna say they probably saw the Hopes do 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.280 it once but assumed it was some kind of wizardry 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.880 or something. I'm I'm giving him a C grade here. 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.560 I think he's got enough weapons. I I think we 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.880 saw enough in the first game here, and it's it's 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.400 the middle of the road match up against the Rams defense. 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.160 The problem is, I need Parker to be healthy. It 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.960 sounds like he is. Sounds like he's gonna go if 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:44.600 he goes. Yeah, but then there's Jalen Ramsey. Yeah, yeah, 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.840 I'm still getting That's why he's getting the C grade. 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:49.680 If he goes, he's not getting the A grade or 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.400 a B grade. Uh. You have to imagine two is 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.480 going to lean on his best option, but he will 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.600 get Jalen Ramsey. As we just mentioned, the question is 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.120 how many targets will he see? He was averaging at 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.200 least seven a game, but had some low ones and 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:07.240 has been banged up. Ramsay has held down posing wide receivers, 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.200 and the receivers he covers don't get a lot of targets. 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.440 They don't throw at him much, so that's the concern. 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.240 They're there. Yeah. I think it's like two and a 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.360 half targets per game, two point three nine or something 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:21.440 like that. Some ridiculous. Uh. Preston Williams I have on 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.040 the bench. He's he's scoring three of the last four. 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.400 But I guess how many catches Preston Williams has on 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.760 the season total. It's gonna be low. It's gonna be 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.880 like twenty. It's twelve twelve twelve catches on the season. 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.520 You can't count on anything there bench. Even though I 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:41.080 love him, Gasecky, I'm giving giving a seed two. And 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.840 I found this really interesting this week. Mike Kasecki has 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:48.280 been practicing with two on the scout team all year, 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:54.000 and I don't know what that says about Gasecky. And 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.880 they just shigned signed Adam Schihen to this new deal. 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.760 Two other tight ends besides Gasseki scored touchdowns in their 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.520 last game. Yeah, I'm really I don't know what to 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:10.199 make of that. It doesn't like yeah, has scored in 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.000 two straight as well, but you gotta figure Gisiki is 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.560 going to be the guy with that much work timing 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.160 with twa. The other tight end, by the way, was 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.600 Dirham smythe who sounds kind of like a like a 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.600 minor league baseball team, like the Durham Smith or something. 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.680 It sounds like a whiskey brand. I can see that too. Yeah, 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.080 there's it's a good name. I like his name. Uh. 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.840 This is a ramsdy that allowed nine for one to 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.600 the Bears tight ends and seven to one O nine 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.360 and a touchdown to Kittle over the last two weeks. 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.920 She he only ran fourteen routes in the last two weeks, 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.400 where Gisicky is on the field almost all the time, 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.080 so I think it's more luck that she had those 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.080 couple of big plays. I gotta see grade on GHASICKI, 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:52.520 but I like him a little bit more than that 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.520 Miles Gaskon b Grade. The Rams have allowed five different 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.760 running backs to have four plus catches. Gaskin has hit 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.960 that in all but one game. Uh. He only has 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.360 one touchdown, but the Rams uh have and the Rams 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.760 have only allowed three running backs to score. But gascon 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.560 as thirteen plus touches and all the games the seven 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.640 running backs who had thirteen plus touches all total ninety 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.800 two or more yards. I think there's a safe floor here, 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:21.120 taking very safe Raiders take on the Browns Matt and Josh. 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:25.839 Jacobs has been really underperforming expectations, and it might feel 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.440 like a trip to the Browns and bad weather would 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:30.319 be perfect for him, But the Browns are actually sneaky 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.920 good against the run. Yeah, he only had thirty two 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.480 snaps last week. That's really low, only ten rushing attempts 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.280 for seventeen yards. Granted he was playing the Bucks and 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.760 they're really great against the run, but he's been limited 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.079 in practice this week with a knee injury too, and 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.679 the Browns are only allowing sixty eight rushing yards per game. 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.400 That's top five in the league. You put that all together, 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.880 I'm putting Josh Jacobs on the bench this week. That's 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.320 that's all right. There we go, given what he's done 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.920 for the past month. You want bold, how about Da 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.840 car getting an A grade over two hundred sixty yards 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.680 and multiple touchdowns in five straight which is impressive considering 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.120 his very weird wide receiver corps. The matchup is right though. 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.199 The Browns have allowed three hundred six yards and two 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.600 and a third passing scores per game this year. That 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.000 means Darren Waller is also in play with an A grade. 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.319 The Browns are bottom ten in receptions, yards and touchdowns 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.160 allowed to tight ends, and Waller is averaging the most 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.920 targets amongst tight ends per game at nine point two. 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:35.280 The wide receivers are just like David s Pumpkins their 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:40.680 own fang. I don't have any idea what you're referencing 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:45.760 right there, Betty questions any questions. By the way, I 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.000 can see that with Waller if if the weather is 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.000 really bad, I can see a lot of Waller dumping 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.720 off so Brian Edwards was still limited in practice this 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.440 week with a foot and ankle injury. I think he's 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:57.120 probably not going to go. Nelson agil Are played the 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.280 most snaps among the wide receiver group last week, is 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:03.839 quietly scored in three straight but only has twenty targets 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.920 on the season, so I'll give him a C grade 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.920 along with Henry Ruggs, who was on the field of 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.280 the snaps last week. The problem with Ruggs as he's 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.120 averaging two receptions per game despite being on the field 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.320 all the time, so he gets the C. Because the 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:21.160 Browns are allowing sixteen receptions for two yards and a 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.880 score and a half per game to the wide receiver position, 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.559 which also puts Hunter Renfroll in play with a C. 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.600 But he was only on the field for just over 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.240 half the snaps last week. It's a mess in their 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.880 wide receiver corps, so that's why they're all getting SS. 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.480 Let's flip on over to the brown side, where Baker 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.840 Mayfield is getting a B grade. Baker had five touchdown 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.600 passes last week after O'Dell went down with an a 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.040 c L injury on the second play of the game, 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.400 but he's only averaging a d passing yards per game. 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.599 That's twenty five among quarterbacks. The good thing is the 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.720 Raiders have allowed at least two seventy yards to every 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:58.200 quarterback they've faced who is not named Cam Newton, and 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.800 each of the last three quarterbacks they faced have thrown 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.240 for multiple scores. Jarvis Landry is still dealing with a 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.960 rib injury and has been limited in practice all week, 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.520 but I'll still give him a b. He hasn't scored 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.360 yet this year, but he was Baker's favorite target way 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.960 back in the day before O'Dell got to Cleveland, so 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.080 I think there might be something there. There's a couple 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.120 of other sneaky wide receivers to put on your radar. 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:24.520 Rashard Richard Higgins played of the snaps last week. Donovan 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:30.840 people Donovan, People's Jones. It's plural people's. He's the people's um, 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.679 the rookie out of Michigan. He played sixty nine per 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:39.679 cent of the snaps last week. Come on, Brian, Brian's 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:44.240 not here. It's just it's just everybody does it. It's 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.600 just there's something fresh, interesting, there's it's not to me. 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.200 It's just everybody does it. You know what, Sometimes you 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:56.320 just do things like happy Birthday friends up Cliff. So 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.960 the Raiders are allowing thirteen receptions per game to the 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:05.040 wider run, but they're allowing big yardage totals of a 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.800 hundred and eighty yards, so that favors the home run hitter. 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.200 Donovan Peoples Jones is the home run hitter. He's averaging 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.680 eighteen points seven yards per catch. I'll give him a 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.600 sea and leave Higgins on the bench. Harrison Bryant out 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.760 snapped David and Joku last week and Peacocks to Brian 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:23.760 by the way for his bold Harrison Bryant call two 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:27.480 touchdowns last week. I'll give Bryant a solid SEA in 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:31.080 this game because Austin Hooper's out again and Vegas is 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.280 the middle of the pack tight end defense, but they've 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.840 cracked recently, allowing fifteen catches, a hundred ninety yards and 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.880 two scores to the tight end over their last two games. Finally, 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.840 Kareem Hunt is an ah. The Raiders are allowing four 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.120 point nine yards per carry and Dearness Johnson was only 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.160 on the field for two snaps last week, so it's 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:52.480 all Kareem Hunt, all the time, all the time. I've 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.400 got the Jets taking on the Chiefs. This is not 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.400 going to take very long. No, it won't know, so 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.920 sneak this one into this first segment. Uh, there's a 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.840 only one starter for the Jets, and it's at a 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.200 C grade, and that's LaMichael p Ryan. The Jets stubbornly 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.000 run the ball even when trailing badly. P Ryan over 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.200 the past two weeks has almost as many snaps as 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.280 Derrick Henry and Josh Jacobs, so he's getting enough use 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:18.240 here in recent games. Philip Lindsay DeVante Booker had success 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.640 running against Kansas City, so depending on the health of 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.240 New York's offensive line, p Ryan could surprise us with 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.440 a few decent runs here, and he's a plausible starter 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.200 in a bye week with a C grade. Everybody else 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.720 is on the bench. Jamison Crowder's out with injury, Brishad 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.720 Perriman likely doesn't get through the concussion protocol. Let's talk 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.440 about Denzel Mims, who's also on the bench here. Um, 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.360 he got his first action last week, didn't do a 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.520 ton with it. He runs most of his routes on 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.680 the right side of the field, where I get overmatched 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.120 by cornerback chair various wards. So he's on the bench. 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.640 But let's mention this about Denzel Mims. If you're in 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:52.040 a dynasty or an empire league, think about the rest 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.840 of his career with Trevor Lawrence and no Adam Gaze 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.400 and be thinking about what Denzel Mims would be worth 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.240 to you in one because now is the time to 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.160 trade for Denzel Mims. It will cost you very little 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.640 in a dynasty or an empire league, and he has 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:13.160 the potential to blossom big time next year. All future 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.600 peacock that can is that a pre cock precock that 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:21.280 with the time machine and the peacock together. You know, 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:25.120 Brian had him as his premature speculation last week. Yes, so, 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:28.440 I mean, but he didn't say it was premature spect 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.120 that's really prema very premature. Let's go to the Kansas 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.080 city side, where Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey are obvious 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.480 A's I'm more worried about the Chiefs running games, sniping 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.240 them through than than on the ground than really the Jets, 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:44.040 much like last week's blowout win when they didn't need 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.880 to perform in the second half and didn't uh. Tyrey 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.200 Hill also in a grade New York I was a 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.200 healthy fourteen catches for one eighty yards per game to 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.040 wide receivers, and that's great news for Hill, who out 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.800 targeted all the other Chiefs whiteouts last week. But he 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:00.400 does have a sneaky tough matchup with slot enter back 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:04.840 Brian Pool, who is ProFootball focuses fifth highest graded cornerback. 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.240 But Hill can run from everywhere. He just mostly runs 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.679 from the slot, so it wouldn't take a lot for 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.840 Andy Reid to just design more plays for Hill outside 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.320 because he runs there anyway, so there's no saying that 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.160 he even actually gets the Brian Pool matchup in this one. 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.080 Sticking with the passing game, c grades as dart throws 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:27.560 for DeMarcus Robinson and Icole Hardman. These are low volume guys, 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:31.040 but plausible dart throws. With Sammy Watkins out, Both guys 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.880 have got positive matchups against dreadful cornerbacks Pierre to see 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:40.359 her and Blessing in Austin. You made that name up. Then, lastly, 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:44.000 let's go to the running games. Clyde Edwards Hilaire. Since 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.200 the Bell trade, I think we can agree. Clyde Edwards 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.160 Layers posted his two best NFL games, Putting the pressure 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:52.560 on him is damaging six yards per carry. Since the trade, 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.000 I think he will still see most of the work 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.800 against a medium bad run defense for the Jets. They 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:00.840 ranked twenty three yards per carry allowed their twenty three 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.639 in rushing yards per game. There twenty six in rushing 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.119 attempts per game. So I think there's enough work to 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.480 get a B grade on Clyde Edwards Hilaire. So what 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.040 about Lavy on Bell in a revenge game for Brian 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.960 who's not here? Last week in a blowout when he 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:17.800 got seventeen snaps, which isn't a ton six carries, that's 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.600 a decent amount for a first game with the team. Though, yeah, 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.280 I'd agree it's not bad. Uh six carries and he 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.240 averaged six and a half yards per carry, and you 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:28.440 might say, well, okay, that was in a blowout win. 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:30.639 So why not put Bell in at the end of 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:31.920 the game, which is a lot of when he got 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.080 his work. But this is gonna be a blowout win too. 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:37.080 It's the Jets, so Bell is gonna find his way 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:40.320 back on the field here. Um. He they didn't throw 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.879 to him at all last week, but the Chiefs barely 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:44.760 through the ball period and that could change here. I 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.200 still believe Bell will get goal line looks if the 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:50.280 opportunity presents itself, and I think he will start to 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:54.600 catch more passes. I've got a C grade hammer hammer 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.280 the bell score. Bell scores a touchdown in this Oh 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:01.920 you like that alright, Chief's favorite one. In some circles, 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:06.359 it's between ninete that is, that's that's a big number. 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.920 I have reason. I have reason to believe that is 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:11.840 a very big number. When we come back, take a 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.760 chance on me. Nine players not normally, not normally in 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.360 your starting lineup. We'll tell you who they are. Who 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.719 you can get off the waiver wire, plug into your lineup. 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:58.560 When we return to Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome Day Football Weekly, 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:01.679 Paul Charching from Guillotine leagu dot com, Scott Fish and 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.320 Matt Harrison take a chance to take a cheer, to 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:07.520 take a chance on it's growing on me. It is. 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.280 It is growing at me like a fungus and nothing 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:12.399 nothing to do with this. So you get that checked out. 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.760 You have a lot of those. I really don't take 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:17.600 a chance on me. Nine players not normally in your 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:19.080 starting line up. Many of them are available on the 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.960 waiver wire. Let's begin at the quarterback position. Scott Fish. 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:23.840 I know this guy is because I picked him up 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:26.840 in two of my leagues in the last week, but 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:31.359 he's probably half owners are more. I'm going with Carson Wentz. 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.800 Don't look now, but the Cowboys are top five in 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:38.960 most points allowed through seven weeks in NFL history. That's 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:43.080 a healthy thirty four points seven points per game they're allowing. 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:46.800 Uh with Washington and buy winner of this one leads 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:49.440 leads to the division is a three win team. So 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:52.040 I think Carson Wentz is gonna be on fire. The 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:55.280 Cowboys have allowed multiple touchdowns to five quarterbacks and Wentz 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:59.320 has had multiple touchdowns in all but one game, and 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.760 he's put five more touchdowns in with his legs too, 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:04.520 so there's always that that floor as well. Go pick 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:06.720 him up. I love just he just plays with so 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:09.000 much heart, and I know he makes a handful of 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:12.080 really bad plays every game that just you cringe, But man, 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:16.200 he just he wants to win so overtly and far 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:21.400 light without all the armed talent, and yeah, maybe that's 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:23.840 the light. Yeah, that's the light part. Okay, who is 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:26.119 you to take a chance in the quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo 0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:28.520 has been super solid in his last two games, hitting 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:31.119 at least two hundred sixty five yards in both with 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:34.119 three touchdown passes against the pretty good Rams defense. But 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:39.160 Jimmy g really thrives on super bad secondaries because last year, 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.119 remember he killed the Cardinals twice and they were amongst 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:44.480
