One of the great things that's really changed 11 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: over the years, Matt, is how many people are playing 12 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: playoff fantasy football, but not just like redrafting and then 13 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: doing the same old, same old. You know. Mostly I 14 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: think people are playing in pools. Now. Yeah, you run 15 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: a pool with a hundred people in it. Yeah, it's 16 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: uh where ours is? Ours is getting really big. It's 17 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: kind of fun. Somebody's gonna win like nine yeah, so no, no, no, 18 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: the I R S limit of the well, there's all 19 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: donations too, Fantasy Cares involved, So that's the important all right, 20 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: That's that's all that matters. We're gonna break down the 21 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: game's fantasy style, as I mentioned, um from this weekend. Yeah, 22 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: we all, we've got all got some of our own 23 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: our own leans here. I've got two upsets happening this weekend. 24 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: I've got one. I think the second one I'm I'm 25 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: sadly not going to get. So all right, we'll find out. Yeah, 26 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: we we'd like to get. We'd like to get one 27 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: end of it for for those of us in the 28 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: Minnesota listening area. But that's the least likely of the 29 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: upsets that happened by a mile. Well, they might cover, 30 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: they might cover. Let's begin with the Saturday morning that morning, 31 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: the Saturday, it's actually mid afternoon game, and that is 32 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: Buffalo takey on Houston. I've got this as an upset, Um, 33 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: tell me, let's let's start it with the passing game 34 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: in Josh Allen, which I think is fascinating. He scored 35 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: a touchdown in every game this year. Yeah, I uh, 36 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: he's the third highest priced quarterback on fan ball. I 37 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: have him as a B grade in this game. Um, 38 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: he's had a down month basically due to facing some 39 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: crazy good defenses all in a row. Denver, Dallas Baltimore Pittsburgh, 40 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: New England from Week twelve the weeks sixteen. I mean 41 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: we were advising people it's time to sabotage drop Josh 42 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: and going into your into your playoff run, and that 43 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: was the right thing to do. I happen to sabotage 44 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: drop him in one of my leaks and uh, but 45 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: now he gets the Texans, and the Texans have allowed 46 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: the fourth most passing yards and the seventh most quarterback 47 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: rushing yards on the season, and in fact, the Texans 48 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: have allowed either three passing yards or multiple passing scores 49 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: to each of the last five quarterbacks they've faced outside 50 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: of Week seventeen. UM. But J. J. Watt is back. 51 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: He's returning from a peck injury. His legs should still 52 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: be decent. I'm wondering if there's a little rust there, 53 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: but that's concerning as the two legs. Yeah, as the 54 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: pass rush will be a little bit better than Houston 55 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: has had in the last couple of weeks. From an 56 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: injury standpoint, though, cornerbacks Bradley Roby and Jonathan Joseph both 57 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: dealing with hamstring injuries. I think they both play, but 58 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: we've seen hamstring injuries can go belly up any time. 59 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: I mean, look at what Adam Feeland had came back 60 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: for a play in that Kansas City game and then 61 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: sat on the shelf for another couple of months. That's right, Um, 62 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: let's stay in the passing game. John Brown, he's another 63 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: guy who had just bad brutal matchups for a long time. 64 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: I'm giving him a B grade and he's six fanball. 65 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: Because the Texans hate facing wide receivers named Brown as 66 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: a j Brown has torched them for over a hundred 67 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: yards in a score twice in the last three weeks. Uh. 68 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: And that other week Brashod Perriman from the perimeter went 69 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: over a hundred yards too. And Brown, John Brown is 70 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: top ten in the league at twenty plus yard completions. 71 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: The Texans are bottom ten defensively in that category. So 72 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: it's a big play kind of a game. It is. Uh, 73 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: this is the Houston has struggled with big plays. John Brown, 74 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: known for the deep speed, Josh Allen, known for the 75 00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: big arms. With hamstring injury, it's just it feels like 76 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: might not want to get the long stride going. Uh. 77 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: You know that's a that is a stackable hook up 78 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: right there. You know what. What else is a stackable 79 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: hook up Cole Beasley, who also gets a B grade. 80 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: He's only fifty seven hundred on Fanball. He leads the 81 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: team in red zone targets and he runs most of 82 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: his routes from the slot, so he matches up with 83 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: Vernon Hargraves, the third who was cut by the Bucks 84 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: earlier in the year and has given up five touchdowns 85 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: in his coverage this season, and four weeks ago, Julian 86 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: Edelman just torched him for six for one oh six 87 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: in a score. Finally, Dawson Knox in the passing game 88 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: of the Saturday tight Ends. I was looking at the 89 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: Saturday slate on Fanball, there's no tight ends. Johnny Smith 90 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: is the highest price tight end, but Dawson Knox is 91 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: my favorite. Uh He's at thirty. Over the last four weeks, 92 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: Knox is third on the team and targets, averaging just 93 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: about four per game. The problem as he's only had 94 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: eight reception since Week twelve. But Houston is a bottom 95 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: ten defense as far as tight end receiving yards this year, 96 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: so Knox is kind of in play. Can I tell 97 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: you how much I love Devin Singletary in this matchup 98 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: n Um Houston. Just Derrick Kenny just put up two 99 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: yards on him, So I mean there's that. But also, 100 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: receiving runners have killed the Texans. They ranked dead last 101 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: in receiving touchdowns allowed to running back, second to last 102 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: in yards allowed to running backs through the air. This 103 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: is and Devin Singletary is a good It's not like 104 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: Dan Tomlins. You missed the league high eight receiving touchdowns. 105 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: They've given up receiving touchdowns allowed eight. That is the eight. 106 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: This is. I love Devin Singletary for fantasy purposes in 107 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: this matchup. So the issue is Singletary hasn't been totally 108 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: utilized in the passing game yet. He did see eight 109 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: targets and six receptions against the Ravens a few weeks back, 110 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: but he's normally getting like three targets a game and 111 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: one catch and that's kind of a bummer. But the 112 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: Texans have allowed almost five yards per carry to opposing 113 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,799 Speaker 1: backs over the last two months, and he had nine 114 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: six percent of the snaps against the Pats in that 115 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: Week six team game. That actually mattered. Frank Gore as 116 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: an afterthought, I gave Devin Singletary in a grade He's 117 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: one of my favorite running backs this week. He's the 118 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: fourth highest priced one on Fanball. Yeah, I like him 119 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: a lot as well. If you flip over to the 120 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: Houston passing game, what I find fascinating is just the 121 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: the wide receiver situation for Houston is not good. You 122 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: got Will Fuller with the growing injury, Kenny Stills to 123 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: the knee injury, their question marks for this game. And 124 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: then if you look at DeAndre Hopkins, He's gonna get 125 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: trade abous White all game. So where does where does 126 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: that leave the passing game? I gave Hopkins only a 127 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: C grade in this and let's just not a respect 128 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: eight thousand, second highest wide receiver on Fanball, behind of course, 129 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas. UM. Guess get this. Hopkins is completing his 130 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: seventh season in the league. The Texans have made the 131 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: playoffs in four of those seasons. This is DeAndre hopkins 132 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: second playoff game. His first one was last year against 133 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: the Colts, where he had five catches for thirty seven yards. 134 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: He's ring up the end of the year in all 135 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: those years. Um, here are the wide receivers that have 136 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: scored against the Bills in the first sixteen weeks of 137 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: the season. We're not counting week seventeen. They weren't they alright, 138 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: t J. Jones in week two, Okay, Davante Parker in 139 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: week seven, and that was when Preston Williams was still 140 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: the top wide receiver there. Okay, Jarvis Landry and Richard 141 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: Higgins in week ten, Okay, second and third receivers. Ventell 142 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: Bryant in week thirteen. Do you know who he plays for? Nope, Dallas. Okay, 143 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: it's like the fourth wide receiver, and Willie Sneed in 144 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: week fourteen. White wasn't covering any of those guys. That's 145 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: only six touchdowns allowed to wide receivers on the season. 146 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna put Hopkins in any of 147 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: my DFS lineup. Expensive, too expensive. Even if he was 148 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: much less expensive, it would be hard to be hard 149 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: to validate a DeAndre Hopkins angle. Here's the interesting thing. 150 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: If somehow Kenny Stills doesn't go, and some how and 151 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: it looks like will Fuller's not gonna go, what about 152 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: Kiki Qti? It only all those second wide receivers he scored. 153 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: Maybe that's the only angle here, but it's it's pretty 154 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: bad on the Texans side. I only gave Deshaun Watson 155 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: a C grade as well. Uh, I just don't like 156 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: any of it. Um. The Bills, as we know, pat 157 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: top three past defense. They're also one of the best 158 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: in the league of defending against running quarterbacks. That held 159 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson to only eleven uh eleven carries for only 160 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: forty yards, which is pretty good against Lamar Jackson, dak 161 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: Wentzon Mariotta were held in check and the only two 162 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: quarterbacks to score on the ground against them this year 163 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: we're Andy Dalton and Ryan Fitzpatrick. So they were surprised 164 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: at those really were uh. And when Will Fuller's out, 165 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's numbers up really suffer. And then finally the 166 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: running game, I gave both Hide and Duke Johnson C grades. 167 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: Hides still the top runner, even though Duke Johnson has 168 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: looked like the better player for the last handful of weeks. 169 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: Over hides last four full games, he scored two that's good, 170 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: but he's been held under two yards per carrying two 171 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: of those games, including a ten for seventeen clunker against 172 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: a similarly built defense in New England. And I bring 173 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: that up because Houston won that game against New England, 174 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: and what did they do in that game? They fed 175 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: the ball to Duke Johnson. Duke Johnson had nine rushing attempts, 176 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: which was his season high, and he also had five 177 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: receptions in that game. So we had fourteen touches, two 178 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: hides eleven. He had a hundred combo yards and a 179 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: score in that game. So if they're going to use 180 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: one of these running backs and they're going to be successful, 181 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: I like Duke Johnson, who's cheaper on fan ball over 182 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: Carlos Hide. I'll note, though, Buffalo has only given up 183 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: one running back receiving touchdowns since Week three, so you 184 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: know they're not I don't know that you get a 185 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: touchdown out of Duke Johnson think you know, but he might. 186 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: He might chip in enough PPR help that that's the 187 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: better way to go. I did have Darren Fells on 188 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: my list, but he's only scored one touchdown in the 189 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: last seven weeks, and you're not playing him, I don't 190 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: think so either. Let's go to the Vikings taking on 191 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: the Saints. Oh gosh, I'm really interest did in this one? 192 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, it's it's it's it's home. Um, there 193 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: is a there's there's an opportunity to take Kirk Cousins here. Uh, 194 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: it doesn't know it's a game when nobody feels like 195 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins gonna step up and play well in because 196 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: traditionally both Mike Zimmer and Kirk Cousins have not played 197 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: well in big games. And obviously this is a this 198 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: is a for you know, seasons over if this doesn't 199 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: go well. But Kirk through for three sixty yards last 200 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: time these teams met and two touchdowns last year and 201 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: this season, the way that you've been able to beat 202 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: the Saints is through the air. They've given up multiple 203 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: passing touchdowns in six of seven games. In recent weeks, 204 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: they've given up three or four touchdowns to Jimmy Garoppolo, 205 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, and Kyle Allen since benched. So I think 206 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: there's an opportunity for Kirk to put up a surprising 207 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: game now and and it could be in catchup mode. 208 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: If we're just looking at this from fantasy perspective, the 209 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: Vikings could be down by two or three scores early. 210 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: That's gage could be all garbage time for cotting. You 211 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: may be right about that, and abandoning the run is 212 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: a viable option for the Vikings anyway, because the Saints 213 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: run defense is so good, Stefon Diggs likely draws shadow 214 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: coverage on the outside from Marshawn Lattimore. If he lines 215 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: up in the slot Diggs does, then it'll probably be 216 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: Theeland who gets Lattimore because nobody bothers to double cover 217 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: Lakwan Treadwall or shadow Laquon Twadwall so well. So, um, 218 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: I'm nervous about Diggs. If Diggs is gonna get a 219 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: lot of Marshall Latimore, it's game over. Latimore giving up 220 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 1: an average of two catches for twenty two yards since 221 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: Week three. You know Diggs has the peacock on Lattimore though, 222 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: and you remember the last time they met in the playoffs, 223 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: something good happen. Um, father, If Kirk gets this win, 224 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: I can tell you the Viking fans. The Viking fans 225 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: are gonna be like, oh yeah, big deal. Case Keenum 226 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: gotta win and gets the Saints in the playoffs too, 227 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: That's what they're gonna say. Adam Feeling gets more work 228 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: out of the slot um that hopefully will allow him 229 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: to avoid Lattimore and then gets get to what he 230 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: was doing through in weeks one through six before the injury, 231 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: when he was averaging almost a touchdown per game. Since 232 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: Week six, he's caught four passes. So the worry for 233 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: me is if they need to feed him because Latimore 234 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: is taking digs out. I just hope he's up for it. 235 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: I hope he's I we I hope they target him 236 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: nine ten times in this game? How many times? That way? 237 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: It's a hold on revenge show. Feeling does not need 238 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: revenge because in the last game, last year's game against 239 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: the Saints, Theveland had over one yards and a touchdown. 240 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Um. Saints somewhat susceptible to tight ends. Since 241 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: Week eight, they've allowed sizeable games to Charles Clay and 242 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 1: Cameron Brad and Jade and Graham and George Kittle and 243 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: John hu Smith. By and large, those are not awesome 244 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: tight ends. So maybe maybe cal Rodolph gets back to 245 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: where he was a couple of months ago. Yeah. Uh. 246 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 1: For d Alvin Cook, it's a really tough game. He 247 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: says he's full strength, which is great. He has not 248 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: had to run of more than nine yards since November tenth. 249 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 1: He has failed to top three point seven yards per 250 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: carry in any game in the second half of the season, 251 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: so the injuries have really affected him. At one point 252 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: he was in the m v P conversation not anymore. Um, 253 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: this is the Saints team that's good against the screen pass, 254 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: and Cook has been viable as a screen pass guy 255 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: of late, and that's that may not help. He may 256 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: not be helped to pull that way either. And the 257 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: Saints are so good as a run defense, giving up 258 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: just three point six yards per carry. They haven't allowed 259 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: one hundred yard runner since Week eleven of twenty seventeen. 260 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: That's so well, that's a long time, two and a 261 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: half years. Yes, So I don't like Dalvin Cook. What's 262 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: he What does he cost? On famble? Oh? Let me 263 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: pull that up right, Yeah he is. It's already too much. 264 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: That's already too much. Why why am I looking up 265 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: weird things? I'm still looking looking up Kirk Cousins on this. Uh, 266 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook too much? I thank you? Avoid the Viking 267 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: runner's the third highest running back in the week. So 268 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: that's he's out. Uh for let's flip it over to 269 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: the Saints. Uh. Viking shutdown Drew Brees and last year's 270 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: meeting helding holding him to one hundred twenty yards one 271 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: hundred twenty yards, his lowest output in almost two hundred 272 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: games last time they met. Um that said, he's had 273 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: other games against the Vikings have been very good. Average 274 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: passing game against Minnesota since Week eight is two hundred 275 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: fifty yards in one touchdown. Michael Thomas, of course, is 276 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: going to get fed plenty in this game. How many 277 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: targets does Michael Thomas get if you're gonna set an 278 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: over under, I think it actually moves down. And I'll 279 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: tell you why. Vikings are without their number three and 280 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: number four cornerbacks Mike Hughes and in all probability Mackenzie 281 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: Alexander not in. I think that's going to allow them 282 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: to go to their second and third receivers more often, 283 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: Ted Gin tray Kwon Smith more often than they would 284 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: have had the Vikings secondary been healthy. So not that 285 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: Hughes has been good, He's been bad, but um it 286 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: is it's still you know, one less, one less quasi 287 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: starter for the Vikings, So there's there's some concern there. 288 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: But I still think, you know, you figure Hughes is 289 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: going to be targeted at least ten to twelve times 290 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: and dozen every game. By the way, Michael Thomas the 291 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: most expensive player on the slate. I think, Mike, there's 292 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: a real case to be made for Michael Thomas to 293 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: be the most valuable fantasy player throughout the playoffs Saints. 294 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: If the Saints are likely to be favorites every step 295 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: of the way to the super Bowl, I believe they'll 296 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: be favorite. They're already our favorites this week. Next week 297 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: they'll travel to Green Bay, and they'll be favored the 298 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: week after that, presumably San Francisco. In San Francisco, maybe 299 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: favored or pick them or maybe you know, underdogs by 300 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: a close. It was a two point game when they 301 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: met just a few weeks ago, right, so that'll be uh, 302 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: that'll be one worth watching. Michael Thomas is an obvious, 303 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: obvious fine start here. If I were giving letter grades, 304 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: which I didn't do because I'm tired of letter grades, 305 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: so I just didn't do it, maybe you want to 306 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: try a plus their minds. Maybe that freshen it up 307 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: with the plus. What if you just gave a plus 308 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: or a minus grade, no letters, just he's a plus. 309 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: Jared Cook is a plus, A merging as a major threat. 310 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: Since Week eleven, he's averaging twenty one yards per catch, 311 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: twenty one per catch, and one touchdown per game. That's 312 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: crazy like last year's Jared Cook. It is, it's it's 313 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: it's all of a sudden taken off since Week eleven. 314 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: He's a fine start here. Pro Football Focus ranks the 315 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: Saints number two and pass blocking, so I think there's 316 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: gonna be plenty of time here against a good Vikings 317 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: pass rushed UM. As for as for the running game, 318 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: I like Alvin Camara. It's been a bad season, but 319 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: he looked better last week. They're averaging almost five yards 320 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: averaging almost five yards per carry last week. Mostly Minnesota's 321 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: contained pass catching backs this year, UM, but only mostly. 322 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: I still like Camara if I were to give him 323 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: a letter grade, to be a B grade. And the 324 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: Vikings UM have been suffering against runners since their Week 325 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: twelve by. They're giving up almost five yards per carry, 326 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: which is not Viking like at all. So Camara to 327 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: me is a good start. It's nice that Camara seems 328 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: to be heating up from a scoring standpoint. Four of 329 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: his six touchdowns in the last two weeks. And and 330 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: and this was a guy who back when mark Ingram 331 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: was there too, it was he'd get ten to fifteen 332 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: touches a game, but he'd score on three or four 333 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: of them. That's right. So it's nice to see that 334 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: working again. Coming back. Um, if Eric Kendricks, the Vikings 335 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: middle linebacker, can't play, we expect him to go. But 336 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: if he can't go, you can. You could upgrade Kimara 337 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 1: and even I think at that point I'd start looking 338 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: at Lottavius Murray and my ground grind out a potential 339 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: lopsided victory for the Saints could be. Let's go to 340 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: Buffalo taking on Houston in just a minute, as could 341 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: get a revenge doctor, that's possible. Well, we might have it. 342 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: We might have a little Do I have little revenge 343 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: doctor Latavius Murray? Uh, let's talk about the other two 344 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: games in just a moment. All right, we're back Fantasy 345 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchy and my co host 346 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: is Matt Harrison at Explosive out put for you on Twitter. 347 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: I am at Paul Charchy and you'll have to figure 348 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: out the spelling yourself. Buffalo takes on Houston. This is 349 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: my other upset of the day. Buffalo is the better 350 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: team in many ways. Are we talked a Buffalo Houston already. Sorry, 351 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: that's my Other upset of the day is Tennessee at 352 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 1: New England. Only three quarterbacks have one at Gillette Stadium 353 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: in the last three years, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes and 354 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. And people say the Patriots never lose at 355 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: home in a critical game, except for last week when 356 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: they lost to Miami at home in a critical game 357 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: that would have given them a bye. So don't tell 358 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear this mumbo jumbo about how 359 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: they can't possibly be beaten at home in July. There's 360 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: there's definite mumbo jumbo here. Um. Ryan Tannehill knows the Patriots. 361 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: This is his twelfth time he's faced Bill Belichick. Um, 362 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: he was four and seven in his previous eleven games. 363 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: So he's beaten the Patriots four times. That's that's fun. 364 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,719 Speaker 1: But the problem is two, the number two. The Patriots 365 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: have given up two or more passing touchdowns in a 366 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: game only two times this year. Wow, that's not very 367 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: good for Ryan tan Hills prospects and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Stu 368 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: Beard himself was the only quarterback to top three hundred 369 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: yards against the Patriots this season. That was last week 370 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: basically on the final drive of the game. So Tannehill, 371 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: I gave a a C grade to fan Ball. I'm 372 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: probably avoiding him. I'm also avoiding his top wide receiver, 373 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: A J. Brown. I gave him a a respect C grade. 374 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: Uh seventy fan fan Ball should see Stephan Gilmore shadow 375 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: coverage all day and basically no one did anything against 376 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: Gilmore all year except for DeVante Parker last week seven? 377 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: Did the Patriots want to play an extra game this? 378 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: Who knows? That's that's that's always the thing. Uh. Corey 379 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: Davis on the bench only top sixty yards twice this season. However, 380 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: Taj Sharp, wow C grade, here's your take a chance 381 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: on me. He's playing from the slot in New England 382 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: has shown a weakness to slot wide receivers this year. 383 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, Golden Tape, Randall Cobb, and Juju Smith Schuster 384 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: all topped seventy five yards. Beasley did that twice, So 385 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: Taj Sharp, if you run out of money, Unfanball, that's 386 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: a guy. I think that's deep Now. John Nu Smith 387 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: interested me more because half of the passing touchdown to 388 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: New England has allowed has gone to tight ends. The 389 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: problem is is Michael Pruitt is vulturing touchdown grabs from him, 390 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: and Anthony Firkser has had almost as many targets as 391 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: John Nu Smith over the last three weeks. So I'm 392 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: not buying it, I think, John, I'm not buying John 393 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: Hu Smith. No, he's not. He's just a guy. I know. 394 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: I know that you put down your notes that got 395 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: John Nu Smith. Yes, yes, I thought more athletic than 396 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: I thought faster. Only two tight ends have topped forty 397 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: five yards against the Pats since Week five, and you're 398 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 1: totally reliant on a score if you want to play him. 399 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: All of the six tight ends touchdowns allowed by the 400 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: Patriots happened in Week eight or later, so that's positive. 401 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: So I guess you got that going. Finally, on the 402 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: Titan side, Derrick Henry, I'm giving an a grade too. 403 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: I think if they're gonna win this game, it's on 404 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: the back of the big dog. The Patriots have been 405 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: better against the run as of late, only allowing three 406 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: point five yards per carry over the last five games. However, 407 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: they've bent to the will of the Bell cow backs 408 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: running backs to have fifteen rushing attempts are more in 409 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: a game have had yardage totals of one oh nine, one, one, fifteen, 410 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: seventy eighty six, one thirty six, and forty six. So 411 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: there's one dud in there, and that was Devin Singletary. 412 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: But there's yardage to be had. The problem is the 413 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: Pats have only allowed one rushing touchdown to an opposing 414 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: back all year, and that was Gus Edwards, and one 415 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: receiving touchdown to running back all year, that was Duke Johnson. 416 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: It's funny how you diced up that stat because I've 417 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: almost the exact same staff that I worked my same 418 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 1: I running back. Since Week four, running backs with seventeen 419 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: or more carries are averaging five and a half yards 420 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 1: per carry and an average game of one hundred sixteen 421 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: rushing yards. This game very similar to Derrick Henry. It's 422 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna get twenty five touches in this game last week. 423 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: He's gonna get seven fewer than the rushes Derrick Henry 424 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: got last week. Um, what a what a monster, He's 425 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: a beast. Um. I do still see the Patriots winning 426 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: this game, however, and uh, one of the reasons why 427 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: is I kind of like the running game matchup for 428 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: the Patriots in this one and your favorite Playerstrian Sony Michelle, 429 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: the Walkman himself, who's fifty undred on Fanball. I'm giving 430 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: him a B grade. He's averaged twenty touches per game 431 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: over the last three games. And you need to remember 432 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: how studely he was in the playoffs last year six 433 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: touchdowns in three games. They ramped him up at the 434 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: end of the season and just handed him the ball 435 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: like crazy in the playoff hit twenty nine carries in 436 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: one of those games. Um, the Titans have allowed eight 437 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns to opposing backs over the last six games. 438 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: During that span, they did not allow one receiving touchdown 439 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: to a back, So that kind of downgrades James White, 440 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: who I like better in reality. But the Titans are 441 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: one of four teams in the NFL to allow over 442 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: a hundred receptions to the running backs through the air, 443 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: So James White is getting a B two. They've held 444 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: the yardage down, but they've given up a lot of receptions. 445 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: And on fanball and PPR where James White six, it 446 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: could be a high volume, low yardage game for White. 447 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: I don't look at him getting a lot of touchdowns 448 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: in this but if you're playing like a fifty fifty 449 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: and you just need solid scoring. I think James White's 450 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: in a good spot. Only Christian McCaffrey and Carlos Hide 451 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: hit one hundred rushing yards against the Titans all year. 452 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: They needed twenty four and twenty six carries to get there. Yeah, so, 453 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: and for them there's barely even four yards per care. 454 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm looking at Michelle for simply the scoring aspect of it. 455 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: I think you need you need a touchdown or two 456 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: on the ground you do, and you need the ball 457 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: to end up at like the two yard line before 458 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna trust Sony Michelle to get the ball in 459 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: the end zone. You might be right, I may be crazy, 460 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: but I just might be the lunatic you're looking for. 461 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 1: Because I'm giving Tom Brady a B grade. He's sixty 462 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: on fan Ball, which makes him the cheapest starting quarterback 463 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: on fan Ball this week. The Titans are ranking near 464 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 1: last in the league and quarterback hit rate, and that 465 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: means it'll be a clean Tom Brady who should have 466 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: no trouble carving up the Titans if you eliminate weeks 467 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: seventeen for Tennessee, they have allowed multiple scores to three 468 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: straight quarterbacks and have allowed ten multi score games on 469 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: the season. Brady only did that in half of his 470 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: games this season. But this is playoff Brady. Weird things happen, 471 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: Gillette stuff. He ain't got it. He might not, but 472 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: Julian Edelman and I'm giving a B grade two as well. 473 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: He's only fan Ball would be an A if it 474 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: weren't for knee and shoulder injuries. He faced his former 475 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: teammate Logan Ryan in the slot for most of the game. 476 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: Ryan has allowed the most touchdowns in the league in 477 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: slot coverage this year, according to Pro Football Focus. If 478 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: Brady is passing, he's trusting Edelman. That's why I'm not 479 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 1: giving Mohammed Sanu or Nikkil Harry, who are forty five respectively, 480 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: at all. They're both on the bench. Harry is in 481 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: top thirty yards in any game in his career. Sanu 482 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: has been awful but season snap right. I'm just avoiding 483 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: both due to their consistency or lack thereof. I'll mention 484 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: Tennessee gets cornerback at Doory Jackson back. He's their best 485 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: healthy cornerback who's missed the best better part of the 486 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: last month. He's he's an outside guy though, and so 487 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: I think just just really affects more of the outside 488 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: receivers like Harry and Mohamed Sanu is playing incorrectly outside. 489 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: That was a bad trade for the Patriots. Yeah, by 490 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: the way, the one you know already had a slot receiver. 491 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,959 Speaker 1: Why do they trade for Mohammed Sanu who's only ever 492 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: good as a slot receiver. If they would have traded 493 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: for Emmanuel Sanders, how different would better off? Yeah? Another guy? Yeah, 494 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: you can play. At least you can play both. Um, 495 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: let's go do Seattle taking on Philadelphia. Seattle is is 496 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: the underdog, by the way, as a as a non 497 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: fantasy note for the sixth straight playoff game, which is 498 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: weird that they're an underdog in this game. Yeah, they're 499 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,719 Speaker 1: them quite a bit um there four and one. In 500 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: the five games in which they've been an underdog, this 501 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: will be their six game there four and one. So 502 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: you know, apparently they maybe it's motivation. Maybe we just 503 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: need to give them more respect in Doug Peterson more respect. 504 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: These seems faced each other in Week twelve in Seattle 505 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: and it was seventeen to nine. They may grind it 506 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: out ugly game. Both teams have disaster level injury issues. 507 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: Let's begin with the Seattle problem, and that's their running game. 508 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: Everybody thinks Marshall Lynch is back everything, everything's fixed. Yeah, 509 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: but the problem is Marshall Lynch has been good in 510 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: three years and even last week with the twelfth Man erupting, 511 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: every time he just touched the ball, he averaged two 512 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: point eight yards per carry it. That's pretty bad Seattle's offense. 513 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: Just people just think it's fixed because they put a 514 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: name guy and a beloved figure in it. Running back, well, 515 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 1: they put they got Robert turban back, good old Dick. 516 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: Maybe that's the answer, Dick turban Um, I frankly might 517 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: be better. I don't know. So Lynch is not, to me, 518 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: not necessarily the answer here. And by way, Travis Homers 519 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: their starter, averaging six yards per carry on his career. 520 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 1: Travis Homer is the guy who they are riding in 521 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs now, So let's talk fanball dollars on this, 522 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: because I gotta believe that Marshawn Lynch is going to 523 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: be more expensive than Travis Homer. You are correct, Lynch 524 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: is Homer is. They're both pretty cheap as far as 525 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: running backs go. I would take Travis homer Um and 526 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: his matchup. It's a bad matchup. So let's talk about 527 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: Eagles run defense. They're very good, seeing the third fewest 528 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,719 Speaker 1: total rushes overall, they're allowing the third fewest rushing yards, 529 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: and they've allowed the eighth fewest rushing yards per tempt. 530 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 1: So it's a bad matchup for either one of them. 531 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: So you can make a case that just as avoid both, 532 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: or you could just say I'm gonna hope for a 533 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: touchdown opportunity that would be Lynch. Lynch has always been 534 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: built for goal line use. Hmm. Some people still a 535 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: little bitter about the Super Bowl. Darryl Bubble Marshawn Lynch 536 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 1: built four goal line use. Let's go to the past 537 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: and give for Seattle. Um, Well, the previous game was 538 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: a grinded out win for Seattle with both offenses basically 539 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: very inconsistent here. Um, maybe Russell Wilson, who doesn't have 540 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: a lot of turnovers, is going to be the difference 541 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: here and they're just gonna play play, try to play 542 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: it safe and grind out another wind. But Wilson hasn't 543 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,959 Speaker 1: topped two hundred eighty six yards passing, which is not 544 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: that hive of a milestone these days. Wilson hasn't top 545 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: two eighty six yards since Week nine, getting really inconsistent 546 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: results from Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf of late um, 547 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: I think that whole passing game, to me, it sounds 548 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: very wobbly, but working in their favor. Philadelphia's cornerback situations 549 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: a disaster. Ronald Darby went on I R Sidney Jones 550 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: has a back injury, Avante Maddox has an abdomen and 551 00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: Jalen Mills has an ankle. Yeah. I don't the degree 552 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: to which those three will play UM tells me whether 553 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: or not you can trust those guys. But right now, 554 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: I've got to be great on the passing game because 555 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: I don't think they can run. I don't think they're 556 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: gonna try to run much and through sheer volume, I 557 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: think Wilson gets himself, Tyler Locke in DK Metcalf into 558 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: solid territory. Yeah. And I think if you're going from 559 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: a fan ball fantasy perspective for DFS, I think you 560 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: could just go Russell Wilson alone. As as as Brian 561 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: and I call it, we call it the naked quarterback. 562 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: You go naked Russell Wilson. You don't worry about the 563 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: receivers and pairing them up, and you just see what 564 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: you can get out of him, because that entire offense 565 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: is going to go through Russell Wilson's arm or his feet. 566 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: It's very possible. And then you know, lock It and 567 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf have been alternating basically big games, and you 568 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: don't know which guy might have the bigger games. So 569 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: it's been frustrating. And that way you wouldn't have to 570 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: play the game of which receiver is gonna do well. Now, 571 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: let's go over to the Philadelphia side. Um, from a 572 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: passing standpoint, Nelson Agilar doesn't look like he's gonna go. 573 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: Zach Ertz as of this taping on Friday, has not 574 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: been cleared to play. So that's that. And then um 575 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: so Seattle, I think, just schemes to take away Dallas 576 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: Goddard and then what they'll have to lean on Greg 577 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,479 Speaker 1: Ward to some degree. He's been good, way better than 578 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: anybody would have expected. That's but he's still a backup 579 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: caliber wide receiver against a starting Seattle secondary. No opposing 580 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: quarterbacks top two touchdowns against Seattle all year. No opponent 581 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: has hit three d passing yards in seven games. The 582 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: problem is is Seattle has been brutal against the tight 583 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: end of this year. I mean they're not on Arizona 584 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: Cardinals level of futility, but they were one of three 585 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: teams to give up over a thousand yards to the 586 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: tight end position. Uh. They gave up the third most 587 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: uh tight end receptions on the only six touchdowns. But 588 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: you gotta think with Went's having nobody else, he's gonna 589 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: target down. They almost have to write all the time. 590 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: And god, it's just unbelievably gigantic. Yeah, it's just you 591 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: see him out there in the field. He's like, why 592 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: is that gigantic power forward playing in this in in 593 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: this game? So you know you could still start Gotter. 594 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's very expensive. Give me his fanball number 595 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: on this. I'm gonna guess he's in the seven thousand 596 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: three a little bit of a discount. He's the second 597 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: highest price tight end behind zach Ertz. Zach Ertz who's 598 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,479 Speaker 1: probably not probably not gonna play. All right, there you go. 599 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: Um the uh, this is the first playoff game we 600 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: should mention for Carson Wentz, which is hard to remember, 601 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: but this is he's never played a playoff game before 602 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: we got a bunch of first didn't Didn't he play 603 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: last year against the Bears? Double doink? I don't know't 604 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: won that game? Yeah, I know, but I think falls 605 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: was a quarterback double check out again, double check for 606 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: me because I heard I heard in passing on some 607 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: other you know, some rady or something this week that 608 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: this is his first playoff game. And I just took 609 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: that to be right. I suspect that it is um. 610 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: And in the meantime, while you're looking at that, let's 611 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: talk about the running game. It looks like Miles Sanders 612 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: is gonna go here. You're right, this is his first one. 613 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: It looks like Miles Sanders is gonna go. But Jordan 614 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: Howard's back and he's got fresh legs. I think they're 615 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: gonna unleash Jordan Howard in this game. Yeah, I do. Uh. 616 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: And you know, so you have a gimpie Miles Sanders 617 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: on an ankle sprain or the fresh legs of of 618 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: Jordan's Howard. Let's be honest, here, has Jordan Howard ever 619 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: had fresh legs? Well? Yeah, man, remember what he did 620 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: to the Packers this year, like Week four, the three 621 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: touchdown game against the Packers that was awesome. Problem is, 622 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: Miles Sanders has been good, well, he's been good lately. 623 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: The last month of the season has been great with 624 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: Howard out, but Howard comes back, so I and Boston 625 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: for both of them, it does. And Boston Scott has 626 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: been really good. So you know, now they all three 627 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: deserved time. And we know that Doug Peter person at 628 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: his core, wants to have a relatively even rotation of backs. Um, 629 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: give us the prices on those three, because I want 630 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: the cheap guy in all probability. Yeah, hold on, I 631 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: just I just moved it down. Here we go, Jordan Howard, 632 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: Boston Scott, Miles Sanders, Boston Scott. He's cheap. Um, Boston 633 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: Scott is, Miles Sanders is hundred. But here's your discount. 634 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: Play at Jordan Howard A bang. Jordan Howard averaging a 635 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: healthy four and a half yards per carry. I think 636 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: he's gonna be the guy who's gonna get the most 637 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: touches out of that group. That's interesting. I still think 638 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Sanders getting the most touches. But with 639 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: Howard coming back in the price tag of Sanders at 640 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: sixty seven, I don't think I will end up with 641 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: him in many of my lineups out. Uh, Seattle has 642 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: been gouged by Runners of Light. They've allowed nine rushing 643 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: touchdowns in the past five games, so I'm obviously almost 644 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: two a game. If I've just talking about rushing touchdowns. 645 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: Matt who's more likely to get goal line carries out 646 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: of that group? What's running back for Philadelphia. He's still 647 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: on the team. He's been fine. It's it's Howard nine 648 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. Nine, that's a nine. It's a revenge touchdown. 649 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: We're learning it. We're learning a new button bar. But 650 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: you'd just be glad I haven't fired off the trombone 651 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: solo with the thirty second trombones. Just go with it. 652 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 1: I'm not doing all right. There we go, four games up, 653 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 1: broken down fantasy. So your predictions for the games. I've 654 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: got Saints over Vikings, I've got Bills in an upset, 655 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: I've got Titans in an upset, and then I've got 656 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: Seattle over Philadelphia. I think Philadelphia just at some point 657 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: you just succumbed to the just you know, just the 658 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: sheer onslaught of injuries. Yeah, I'm with you on everything, 659 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: but I think New England beats Tennessee. Well, that's extremely plausible. 660 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,320 Speaker 1: And you know, because the entire casinos have been built 661 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 1: on fools money like me that have bet against the 662 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 1: Patriots throughout the years. And you know, especially at home 663 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: Belichick Brady right, and you could just but here's the thing, Matt. 664 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: You want some lazy analysis, the laziest possible playoff analysis 665 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: at home though, that's lazy. I I can't. I can't 666 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: subscribe to that. So and I'm not going to and 667 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,879 Speaker 1: the team that's better. Who was the better quarterback right now? 668 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: Tom Brady or December's offensive Player of the year or 669 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: player of the month. Ryan Tannis just hurts my feelings 670 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 1: saying Ryan Tannehill because I hate Ryan Tannans. Why hate 671 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill? Why what are you gonna get to? Ryan 672 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 1: Tannehills never good in Miami, I always, But that's Miami's 673 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: fault obviously, Now look at whose fault that was. I 674 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: think he'll come back to Earth again to for the 675 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: Titans after they signed him to Kirk Cousins like money 676 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: and uh yeah, I don't think. I think they're in 677 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 1: a franchise tagging you'll make even more money than kirk Point, 678 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: but only only one year, right, see a test drive, 679 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: your test drive Tanny Hill for one more season and 680 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: see what you got.
