WEBVTT - Tanks for Something! 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:03.960 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio. 0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:11.000 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:13.640 source for the nation's best fantasy. 0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:14.680 Speculation and advice. 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:19.480 Now along with the guys from Guillotine Leagues dot com. 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:21.760 Here's your host, Paul Josian. 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:27.560 Welcome to week number six Fantasy Football Weekly. The War 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:32.479 of Attrition continues. You've got another victim. Jordan Mason h 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:38.760 every day it's something unbelievable. Scott fish Thorneistro lays it 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:43.360 is a slog unlike. I mean, every year there's always 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.960 injuries and it feels bad every year. I swear this 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:46.400 is worse. 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.479 It does feel really really and that paired with the 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.479 fact that no tight ends are doing anything, it just 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.400 feels like there's not a lot of and the passing 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.800 is down. There's just not fantasy points out there this year. 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:58.880 But there is fantasy fun anyway. 0:00:58.520 --> 0:00:59.680 There is. There always is. 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.080 And the kind of people who listen to this podcast 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:06.800 devoted fantasy players. You're staying on top of all this stuff, 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.280 so you're you're pivoting ahead of time. I think you're 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.959 reacting to what's happening better than the casuals. This is 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.240 a bad year to be a casual fantasy player. 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.640 Yeah, yeah, I can see that. Yeah, that makes a 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:18.360 loss of sense. 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:18.480 I think. 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.200 So you know what else is going to make sense? 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.400 Your answers to three tough questions later in this show, Scott, 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.679 that's going to make sense. So will the nine players 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.600 will give you to take a chance upon. Also, we're 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.600 going to break down the remaining twelve I believe thirteen 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.960 games on the thirteen thirteen, thirteen on the schedule, something 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:40.160 along those lines. That premature speculation. Yeah, yeah, I've got 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.760 a short term helper that you'll have to hear about. 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.800 At the end for premature speculation. 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:48.800 Premature speculation, short term helper normally, okay, Yeah, Usually it's 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:50.720 somebody like, hey, three weeks from now, a lot of. 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.480 This, yeah yeah, yeah, this is my week seventeen sleeper exactly, and. 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.960 You'll get to find out how he ties into a blimp. 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.560 We don't get a lot of blimp talk fantasy no 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.280 weekly until now. No scout Let's dive in Cleveland takes 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:08.200 on Philadelphia. Yeah, this Cleveland offense, in fact, honestly, the 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:13.600 entire Cleveland Browns franchise to me, feels like it's circling 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.000 the drain. Yeah, Deshaun Watson is a boat anger that 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.240 is going to bring down this organization. 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.480 Yeah. Did you see that fourth down where Watson walks 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.040 off and Stefanski's like because he like throws his arms 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.080 up because he wanted to go for it. Well, it 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.720 turns out there was a twelfth man was yeah, exactly. 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.799 And they couldn't call time out because they'd already called 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:32.720 timeout that play. 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.760 It just speaks to disorganization and miss ken communication. 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.400 Now it does what it does, and Deshaun Watson, I 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.360 think Warren Sharp tweeted about this. Deshaun Watson has played 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.440 the easiest passing schle the NFL. 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.520 Multiple people said he's the worst passer in the NF. Yeah, 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.240 so naturally he's on the bench even against the Eagles 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.639 team who has allowed multiple passing scores in three of 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:54.960 their four By the way, Deshaun Watson doesn't even have 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.280 a twenty plus yard completion in the last couple of games. 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.520 He's not even throwing downfield in the passing game. I 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.959 basically got everyone on the bench right now, David and 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.840 Junku has been limited in practice re injured on his return. 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.960 I suppose there's a glimmer of hope that Kate Dott 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.520 and just take tag the Eagles for six for fifty two, 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.799 but it took being targeted nine times to get there, 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.000 don't I don't think in Djoku gets that. And he's 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:24.079 not really healthy. Jerry Judy hasn't scored since Week one. 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.320 He's kind of like a four for forty player anyway. 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:30.080 Amari Cooper leads the league in air yards, third in 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:33.640 the league in targets, but forty five percent of his 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.520 targets have been uncatchable. Oh forty five percent. 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.560 He also, I think, leads the NFL and drops at 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.840 the same time, so he's not getting accurate asses and 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:44.480 then when the ball comes to him, he drops it. 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.360 Let me tell you, d'n Davian Wicks is coming for 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:51.080 that record. He's coming for it, baby. Forty two point 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.280 six percent catch rate basically also a four for forty 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.160 one guy. But the Eagles are bottom ten against wide 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.880 receivers both receptions and touchdowns let up a lot of 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.720 So there's the glimmer of hope he gets sucked, he 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.560 gets double digit target volume. I'm giving him a C 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.080 grade here, hoping he can make a few more of 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.880 those passes will be catchable. It's really hard with four 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:12.920 teams on buy not to at least give him the 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.960 c over. In the run game, I have Jerome Ford 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:17.800 with a C grade. The Eagles have allowed one hundred 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.880 plus yards to the lead running back in three of 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.320 the four weeks. In their last game, Irving and White 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.719 combined for it, Jerome Ford gets most of the work. 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.279 The Eagles have allowed just one score. That's that's part 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.080 of the problem. Foreman has had two ten touch days, 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.120 but he still plays. He doesn't do anything with him 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.760 and he plays half the snaps of Ford basically just 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.520 comes in to do a couple nothing carries. But the 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:48.360 fourteen for sixty seven total yard average isn't great. But 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.760 I have him as a volume C here because he 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.080 gets the pass catching work as well. Over to the 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.480 Philly side, I have a B grade on Jalen Hurts. 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:59.800 You're QB twenty on the year twenty perfect song for that. 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.039 Okay, in fairness, he's played most of these games without 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.760 some combination of his number one, number two and number 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.280 three receiver. I think Hurts it's a perfect time to 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:08.720 be yes. 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.400 It's my next note that he will finally have his 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:15.360 full compliment of weapons back since since in Week one, 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.159 where he had the best his best Fantasy day of 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.720 the year. His receivers are still banged up. I mean 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.839 Smith should be out of concussion protocol and play by then. 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.480 He's still in it, but he should be. He's dragging 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.159 to play, and then AJ Brown dealing with a hamstring. 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:31.960 He's been practicing full. At the end of the week, 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.200 he should play, So I have a B grade on Hurts. 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:40.160 We just saw Daniels tag this this Brown's team last week. 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.680 They're over in the passing game again. DeVonta smiths C 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.480 grade AJ Brown and B grade AJ Brown. We haven't 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.479 seen him since Week one, but he dropped five for 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.320 one hundred and nineteen and one and wide receivers ones 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.760 versus Cleveland McLaurin, Neighbors, Brian Thomas, Junior Ceedee Lamb all 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.279 had very very solid double digit days, some explosive days. 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.400 He'll likely get Denzel Ward, who's coming off his own 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.320 hamstring injury. If Denzel Ward doesn't play, even better. But 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.240 even if Ward does play, he's coming off of the 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.520 hamstring injury as well, So I have a B grade 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.440 on AJ Brown. You could talk me higher. C grade 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.560 on DeVonta Smith, who gets the better Greg Newsom matchup. 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:23.120 Cleveland mostly just middle of the pack against defensive categories, 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:27.440 but they've only allowed four wide receiver touchdowns. B grade 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.800 on Dallas Goddard. The Browns haven't allowed to score the 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.280 tight ends and are allowing thirty four total yards per game. 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.240 But you can make an argument that Dallas Goddard is 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.360 the best one that they're going that they've faced outside 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:44.680 of Brock Powers of Rock powers good coming across the table. Yeah, yeah, 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.800 I literally threw my hat up hold back Thor. I 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:52.680 don't want you to get after me, but yeah, he's 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.960 averaging seventy five yards per game, seventeen catches for two 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.240 hundred and three two yards just in the last two weeks. 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.080 They're really but of course the other receivers have been injured. 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.400 B grade on Dallas Goddard. Here in a grade on 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.280 Saquon Barkley. I don't think I have to talk about 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.000 twenty plus touches, one hundred and thirty plus the yards 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:08.440 a game. 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.840 Unreal Thork Houston takes on a New England will see 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.200 this Houston offense without the best receiver in the league 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:20.160 Nico Collins who was dominating yards accumulated through the air 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.920 to this point, and they'll need to find some other 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.040 ways to attack the Patriots. How do you like this 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:25.840 Houston offense? 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:26.480 Yeah? 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.400 And we have speaking of injuries, also, we have a 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.000 weird thing going on with the Texans running back room. 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.880 It looks like Joe Mixon is going to come back. 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:35.320 He think so. 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:39.120 Yeah, practice the last two days, the late week tea 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.280 leaves here look promising for a return. 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.440 How much will he play in this game? How many carries? 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.360 How many touches will he get in the game that 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.080 the Texans don't necessarily need him in order to win? 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.680 Correct In the two weeks that mixing was active, you 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:53.720 do have to say Houston leaned into the ground game 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.480 and the Patriots d of course is trash, but I'm 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.280 going to give him a bea just with some of 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.760 these factors up in the air mix in. If mixing 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:05.000 somehow didn't go for PPR formats, I wanted to toss 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:10.480 out the dare A goomboalle Yeah, yeah, Doarre if mixing 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.120 you got somehow is yeah, I would give a seed 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.600 to dare in PPR formats only, but we pray ten 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.520 of eleven cut targets that the last two games going 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.080 to the Texans passing attacks. 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:23.640 CJ. Stout, I'm going to give him a B. 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.120 Three hundred and forty five and three hundred and thirty 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.520 one passing yards the last two weeks while setting a 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.880 new career high in attempts in both those games. But 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.160 you have to keep expectations a little bit and check here. 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.760 Of course, you mentioned Nico Collins is out for this game, 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.640 and the total of this game at the sports books 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.480 is under forty. The Patriots have allowed the ninth least 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.880 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, in part because 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.400 you can just run at the end in the second half. 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.120 You don't have to throw against them you're ahead. But 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.880 the Patriots do play man at the fourth highest rates 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:52.600 in the NFL. 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:53.439 CJ. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.760 Stroud is number three in the NFL in yards per 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.240 attempt against man. So with those factors in mind, I'm 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.760 giving him a B. Stefan Diggs, I'm gonna I guess 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:04.800 downgrade him to a B in this game. He's been 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.680 wide receiver twelve and fantasy points per game to this point, 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.000 so he's been in a receiver with a twenty six 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.920 point two percent first read share, but in this game, 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.960 he is likely to be shadowed by Christian Gonzalez, who 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.679 is only allowing fifty five points six percent catch rate, 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:23.160 sixty five point two opposer passer rating on targets. And 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.720 in the games where Gonzo has gone up against Jamar Chase, 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.840 Garrett Wilson, DK Metcalf, Tyreek killing Brandon Aiyuk, only DK 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:33.120 Metcalf of those receivers got over sixty yards on their 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:33.920 targets against him. 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.040 So I'm gonna go be with Diggs. I'm gonna go 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:37.520 be also with Tank Dell. 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.440 Tank Dell's only been wide receiver seventy and Fantasy points 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.120 per game to this point. That'll change, and I think 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.640 it changes in this game. He's not had twelve Fantasy 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.640 points in any game scored fewer than nine and three 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:52.160 of four, but last year scored seventy plus Fantasy points 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.240 in all games where he had five plus targets. I 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.320 think he's getting the five plus targets here with Niago 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.400 Collins sideline to your point before, and he has a 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.400 much better matchup in this game on field than Stefan 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.199 Diggs does. Tank Dell is going to see Jonathan Jones 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:07.920 and Marco Wilson. Those guys have not been good. Marco 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:09.720 Wilson hasn't been good his whole career ever since he 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.200 threw that shoe on the field at Florida Dalton Schultz. 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:14.679 The last one we'll talk about what the Texans. I'm 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.240 gonna give him a ben. Yeah, even though he's only 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.240 been tight end twenty five at this point. You guys know, 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:23.400 super duper disappointing and a crazy ugly zero point six 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.880 to eight yards per route run that's second to last 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:27.200 them on qualifying tight ends. 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.079 But I think this is the break all week. It's 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:29.920 a good matchup. 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.960 You want a fun fact on that, Yeah, all six 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:35.120 of his targets last week came after Nico came off Goes, 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:37.920 and all six of his targets the week before it 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:38.920 came with Dell off. 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:40.600 Oh so I love. 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.520 It becomes an option once the guy's. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.640 Gone exactly and very good, and then in this one 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.079 good matchup, Texan's going to be throwing a bit. That's 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.320 what they've been doing here recently. New England has allowed 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.760 the third highest yards per reception and seventh most receiving 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.560 yards to opposing tight ends. Moving over to the Patriots 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.600 Drake May. Where you get to see Drake May's his 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.640 first career start, but you got to keep him on 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.079 the bench and keep your expectations in check. Jacobe Brissette 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.720 never had a top twenty five quarterback finish in fantasy 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.800 scoring out there. Brissette was also pressured on a league 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:10.840 high forty six point five percent of his dropbacks. 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:12.720 I think this is a super important point. 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.240 Drake May struggled under duress throughout his entire college career, 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.880 even when he was cooking last year, Drake May, so 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.160 this is under pressure. Last year in the ACC thirty 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.120 nine for ninety passing at times with forty three point 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.720 three percent completions. He had a seven to five TD 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.760 nin and T rate fifty nine point two PFF passing 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.719 grade on those with twenty eight sacks. So it was 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.640 either turn the ball over or the negative plays. Patriots 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.360 offensive line stinks obviously, so he's going to be under 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:40.319 duress in this game. 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:41.640 You can't start him. 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.480 Ramandre Stevenson is out, it's looking like and so we're 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.679 gonna get Antonio Gibson, who we will talk about later 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.440 because he might take a chance on me running back 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.920 play Jalen Polk, I'm gonna give him a seat on 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.920 He's only caught nine of nineteen targets for so far 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.080 on the season, but the snaps have been going up 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.280 every single week and the stock goes up with Drake 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.960 May moving into the lineup. Those two show chemistry in 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.719 preseason camp, so Jalen Polk, We're gonna get him in 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:06.360 the lineup. 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:07.439 S wide receiver, three. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.400 Flex type guy Pop Douglas is the guy I'm keeping 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.840 on the bench. Drake May did like throwing to the 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.800 slots in college. Josh Downs come on down, but this 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.560 isn't the time to trust Pop Douglas. He's twenty six 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.960 out of thirty one qualifying slot receivers in PFF receiving grade. 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.200 And this is a bad matchup against Jalen Petrie, who 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.920 ranks number five among nickel defenders in the NFL and 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:31.400 yards allowed per coverage snap last Keith Hunter Henry on 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.960 the bench as well, zero point seven to one yards 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.200 per route run, nine percent first reach here since Week three, 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.240 and this is a bad matchup. The Texans allowed the 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.040 fourth fewest fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:47.400 Arizona takes on Green Bay This game's got a variety 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.800 of different angles on it, but I'm gonna start with 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.880 Kyler Murray. Just one passing touchdown in four or five games. 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.280 I think that's disappointing for all of us. He is 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.880 chipping on, chipping in fifty one rushing yards per game. 0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:59.480 That's helping a lot, and it's why I've got an 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.800 a great on him here at Green Bay has allowed 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.720 the seventh most passing yards and the sixth most passing touchdowns. 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.840 And you might be like, well, no, Jaire Alexander, but 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:10.040 when JayR was playing, he wasn't doing that well. So 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.040 even if Jayer comes back for this game, and he 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.920 may doesn't change my thinking on this at all. Let's 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.559 go to Marvin Harrison. Very inconsistent so far. We've had 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:22.600 big games, we've had down games, but this feels like 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:26.199 a great opportunity for him, even if JayR Alexander comes back. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.440 In Alexander's three games, he had allowed a touchdown and 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.840 at very healthy sixty five yards per game in his coverage. 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.480 That is a lot for any single cornerback. So I've 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.240 still got an a grade on Marvin Harrison. If he's 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.200 going to keep booming or busting. He's more boomed than 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:43.320 busting this one. Greang Dorch hitting the sea grade George 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:44.560 Baby Dorman Dortch. 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:45.000 Yeah. 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.800 He'll go up against slot corner Keyshawn Nixon, who has 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:51.199 regressed this year, allowing two touchdowns and an opposed passer 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.040 rating of one hundred and two. He's Pro Football Focus 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:59.080 is ninety fifth ranked cornerback Michael Wilson, also hitting the 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.720 board of the Sea Gray startable in a plus matchup, 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.120 he goes up against Eric Stokes, who ranks his Pro 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:09.600 Football Focuses ninety ninth quarterback cornerback. He's allowed two touchdowns already, 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.440 and after a slow start, Wilson's been heavily involved in 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:16.400 this offense. Over the last three games. He's averaging seven targets, 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.200 six catches in eighty five air yards per game. 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:23.440 In fairness, Stokes might also be ranked the ninety ninth quarterback. Yeah, right, 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:24.960 so we don't know, right, we don't know. 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:26.840 Maybe that's his true calling because it's not. 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:28.360 Quarner just unrealized. 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.480 Last thing about this offense, I'll mention James Connor quality 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:35.600 runners absolutely getting it done here against the Packers. Four 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.200 or five opposing lead runners have topped one hundred and 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.040 five total yards against Green Bay. They're also yielding good, 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.680 not great games through the air air to runners. Three 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.120 opposing lead backs have topped thirty two receiving yards and 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.080 another scored via reception. I did not jut down my 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:54.440 notes on tight end Trey McBride, So I'll come back 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:55.240 to that next segment. 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:55.960 Okay, I don't know. 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.520 Yeah, well I'll have to hit the take a chance, 0:14:58.560 --> 0:14:59.000 let me tight that. 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.880 Yeah, there we go. He's a little too good for that. 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:03.600 I guess the question is whether or not he's an 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:03.960 A or a B. 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:04.600 That's all. 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.120 Let's go to Green Bay. Jordan loves an obvious A grade. 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.040 He's my number three ranked quarterback this week. I'm not 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:11.360 gonna spend a lot of time in him. 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:11.800 Oh noor. 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:16.960 Jayden Reid get this three non Molik Willis games. Jaden 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:21.000 Reid averaging one hundred and thirty six total yards and 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.640 a full touchdown per game. He runs almost exclusively from 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.200 the slot, where he's gonna match up against cornerback Garrett Williams, 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.800 who is a lightly used sophomore, has only ever seen 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:33.720 forty NFL targets in his life. That's a way plus 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:37.720 matchup for Jaden Reid. How about Tucker Kraft. Two straight 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.720 games of domination for Craft to such a great degree 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.240 that Luke Musgrave didn't play a snap last week. Now 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.320 he's heard the Cardinals have seen some really good tight 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:50.120 ends and mostly held him in check. Dalton Kinkaid, Sam Laporta, 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.880 zach Ertz, George Kittle have averaged thirty three yards and 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.640 a quarter of a touchdown. But Craft remains a B 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.240 grade because only George Kittle has seen more than three 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.480 has seen of the more than three target it's Kittled 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.400 went berserk with twelve targets last week. So you can 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.360 target the tight end and maybe they'll do that with 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.760 Tucker Craft here. Really tough calls on Dontavian Wicks and 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.320 Romeo Dobbs flopped Obviously, Dobbs didn't play last week, but 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:15.600 Wicks stopped flopped badly in a crushing spot last week. 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.120 That was very disappointing. Dobbs returns after his one game 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.320 suspension and running from the outside. Wicks and Dobbs they're 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.360 gonna line up against Sean Murphy, Bunting and Starling Thomas. 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:29.360 They hold Pro Football Focus ranks as cornerback one hundred 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.240 and four and cornerback eighty eight Thomas has already allowed 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.960 two touchdowns. So I've got C grades on both Wicks 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.920 and Dobbs in this one. Christian Watson not expected to 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.600 play with his high ankle sprain, and even if he 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.120 does try, we're not gonna We're not gonna risk reinjury 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:44.600 on that one. 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.120 Can I make a prediction on Trey McBride. He's your 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.200 tight end two, so I'm gonna go maybe in a 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.440 grade And you probably would have mentioned that to the 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.080 last three tight ends to scored against the Packers, and 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.280 even Kolby Parkinson had seven for fifty two last week. 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:01.000 Wow, well thanks for doing that for me. I forgot 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.480 the Josh Jacobs side on this, So how I gonna 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:04.040 come back and do. 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:05.200 Josh Jacob boy? 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:06.200 Great? 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.240 What was a little bit of Troy on Trey McBride. 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.280 I'm guessing a if you haven't been tight end two? 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.520 Okay, thank it, Thank you very much for that. 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:13.359 Man. 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.680 What happened to me in this the middle of this matchup? 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:16.919 I don't know, this never happened. 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:18.160 It's a Vikings bye week. 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.120 You're off your game, I guess, so would we come 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.320 back take a chance on me nine players not normally 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.240 in your starting lineup. We've already tipped our hand on 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:25.640 one of them. 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:59.879 Find out the other eight when we come back. 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.359 Take a chance on me nine players you would not 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:05.800 normally start. Many of these guys available on the waiver 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.359 wire right now, and they can help your team in 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:11.600 a tricky bye week. We begin at the quarterback position. 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:12.679 Scott Fish. 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.480 Yeah, so this guy has only throwing forty one passes 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.600 in the last two weeks, which doesn't sound good. No's 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.000 he was only started thirty five percent last week, twenty 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:26.720 one percent started this week coming up, and he's he's 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.320 like QB sixteen on the season right now. 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:29.880 That's not bad. 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:34.960 Yeah Yeah, Jared Goff, Yeah, he's in the game. That's 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.119 got a fifty two point five over under, So it 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.000 should be it should be a little bit of a shootout. 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.920 Parsons might miss, Eric Kendricks might miss. The Lions get 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.080 in the red zone or get to the red zone, 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:48.159 or score on forty seven point seven percent of their drives, 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:50.200 and I feel like this is a game that's gonna 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:52.280 have a lot of drives. The Cowboys have allowed multiple 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.080
