00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: not leave right now. This is a critical information you're getting. Ladies.

18
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: We are only taking your calls men, no calls all

19
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,080

21
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: streaming this show from your dear stand, tweet pictures of

22
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: what you're seeing right now from your dear stand, and

23
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: I am retweeting them at Paul Charchian. And it's always

24
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: confounding to the people that aren't listening right now. And

25
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: suddenly my Twitter feed is filled with pictures the fields

26
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: and grasslands and everything. But that's how we know you're listening.

27
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: Can we get a confirmed hill tweet too, because I

28
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: swear I don't think I've ever had one just sit

29
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: there and scratch their you know what. I think that's

30
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 1: all they're doing in their gods getting away. That could

31
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: be if someone actually shoots a deer, let us know too.

32
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: I'd be curious if that actually happens. It doesn't seem

33
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: like it, ladies. The number six five one nine eight

34
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: nine five three two six that's kf A at the

35
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: end six one two nine kf A. All right, gentlemen,

36
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: let's let's dive in beginning and by the way, coming

37
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: up on the show as always, you know the format,

38
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: take a chance on me. Nine players, many of whom

39
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: are available on the waiver wire that you can start

40
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: this week three hot questions, premature speculation lightning round at

41
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: the end at all of the all of the matchups,

42
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: beginning with maybe the most unsightly of them all, the

43
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: Bears taking on the Bills. Scott, I think there's a

44
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: almost even chance that the Bill's defense will I'll score, sorry,

45
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: the Bears defense will I'll score the Bears offense. I

46
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: think that's pretty fair. The Peterman's got it in him.

47
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: The Bills are only averaging ten point nine points per game,

48
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: so that's crazy, isn't it. So if we can get

49
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: two pick sixes right and against the Vikings, we can

50
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: get two pick sixes on a Nate Peterman, We've got

51
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: a chance to have the Bears defense outscore the Bears

52
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: offense Barkley in this game. It's not impossible that that

53
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: that Peterman is it won't that'd be the second time

54
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: they've started a quarterback with less than a week on

55
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: the team. If if it happened, probably brought one in. Yeah,

56
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: it's possible he gets knocked out of the game, because

57
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: here's Peterman's bad anyway, But you factor in a defense

58
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: that does a great job of getting to the quarterback

59
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: they could knock him out of the game, and now

60
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 1: you have to start Matt Barkley on four or five

61
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: days in Buffalo. Terrible. Gross. Yeah, for I'm just gonna

62
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: start on the Bill side and say, don't start anyone.

63
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: That passing game is gonna be terrible. And the Bears

64
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: are like third on the season against running back, so

65
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: McCoy is not even viable. So no one for the Bills.

66
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: So do you want Bears? That's the thing. Are they

67
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: going to run up the score? Are they gonna not

68
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: need to? I have Trabinsky with a C grade here.

69
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: Owners have loved the thirteen touchdowns over the last four weeks,

70
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: but the Bills are the fifth stingiest past defense against

71
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are the last five weeks. Yeah, and we we

72
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: all love Trabinsky's legs, but the Bills have only allowed

73
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: ninety eight rush yards to quarterbacks on the entire season.

74
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 1: So I do have a C grade there because uh,

75
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: you know, they they should still get to still get points. Cousins,

76
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: Rogers and Brady only combined for two touchdowns, which is

77
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: a little concerning, but I think Trabisky has him to

78
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: just barely squeak out a startable grade. Because the matchups

79
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, nice enough Um his passing game though, because

80
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: of all the questionable nous and the with a rob

81
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: I have trouble starting Arab, Gabriel or Miller in a

82
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: in a tough matchup. Again, swide receivers as well. The

83
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: Bills have allowed to just two wide receivers to top

84
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: sixty yards against them, and in that span only two

85
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: wide receivers have scored. Um, I can't start any of them.

86
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: I can still start Burden. Now we know Buffalo is

87
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: good against the past. Uh, so this is a rare week.

88
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm a little out on Burton, but I still like

89
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: him with a se grade because it's it's kind of

90
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: tight end hell with all the bye weeks this week,

91
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: you have to start him. Uh isn't it always tight

92
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: end hill that we're living in? It really is. But

93
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: you know with uh, with the Colts on By, with

94
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: the Giants on By, with the Eagles on By, you're

95
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: losing at least three to four starter especially there's six

96
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: teams on by, So that moves Burton into starting category

97
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: for me. Cohen is what I love this week. The

98
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: Bills are allowing over two dred yards per game to

99
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: running backs over the last three and I think Cohen

100
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: is is easily the A grade here because they've thrown

101
00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: a reception to a running back on average nine times

102
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: nine per game over that stretch. I should have signaled that. Uh.

103
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: Cohen had just one reception last week, but that was

104
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: a seventy yard er. Uh. But he's averaging eight eight

105
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: yards per carry receiving the ball. Uh. The Bills have

106
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: allowed Uh. They're allowing running backs to touch the ball

107
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: over thirty five times per game over the last three weeks.

108
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of work for Cohen and Howard.

109
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: Here a grade for Cohen. I'm only giving Howard to

110
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: see though this is a perfect game script for him.

111
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: It is. That's why I'm a little surprised it's only

112
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: a See this feels like an opportunity. He needs a touchdown.

113
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: Though he has three point seven yards per carry or

114
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: worse in fifteen of the last twenty two games and

115
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: eight of the last ten. He he needs a miracle

116
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: to hit four yards per carry, and they're stacking boxes

117
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: against him all teams are all season because he's not

118
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: involved in the passing game. You need his touchdown. If

119
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: he gets twenty carries. He might only get seventy five yards.

120
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: You need his touchdown, so I'm giving him a see. Okay,

121
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm listening to that. UM. We we've at least temporarily

122
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: abandoned um. This nickname for Mitch r Bisky sad trombone Ski,

123
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: But I think it comes back this weekend. I think

124
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: he's sitting on a tough game. I think you've I

125
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: think you've figured out out. I think they're gonna run

126
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: a lot. They went off to pass and it's a

127
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: very good past defense, it really is. But I mean,

128
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: with just the bye weeks alone, make him a Sea

129
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: grade for me, just barely. I mean they kept Brady,

130
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: The Bills kept Brady out of that. So yeah, I

131
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: mean for most of the games, this is a really

132
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: risky start. No more Bears Bills talk. Yeah, let's move on.

133
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: We managed to turn Bears bills into five minutes. That's ridiculous. Yeah,

134
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: let's get to the Chargers in the Seahawks Prian, this

135
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: is a game with a lot more fantasy interest, without

136
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: a doubt, very interesting. Melvin Gordon is questionable. Fish and

137
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: I were ranting earlier, Please bring back probable NFL, please,

138
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: because everyone is questionable. These days, there's real questionable and

139
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: fake questionable. I feel like the is fake questionable for

140
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, he's playing. He's not gonna burn you with

141
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: a very early inactive uh you know news flash either.

142
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: But he gets the A. Despite the Seahawks being ranked

143
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: sixth against the run by football outsiders, true bill cows

144
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: like Zeke Gurley David Johnson if combined to average more

145
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: than a D twenty combo yards against Seattle. So Gordon

146
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: an easy a Austin Ekeler is still viable at least

147
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: sixty comvo yards and or a touchdown in every game

148
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: except the Tennessee matchup in London in Week seven and

149
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: through the first four weeks, opposing running backs were averaging

150
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: under four catches per game against Seattle, but over their

151
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: last three running backs have compiled twenty three catches against

152
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. That's nearly eight per game. So I'll give

153
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: Eler a see here. I actually like Eckler in this

154
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: game quite a bit. And if Gordon is not a

155
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: hundred percent, he's probably not a hundred percent, but that yeah,

156
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: that's definitely a bodes well for Eckler. Keenan Allen give

157
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: him a b uh. The Seahawks have allowed either a

158
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: hundred yards or a score to an opposing wide receiver

159
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: in six of seven games and not counting the Raiders,

160
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: which we shouldn't in the facet of football, every opposing

161
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver unit has total total at least one to

162
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: touchdown against Seattle. But Keenan Allen just five red zone

163
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: targets this year, him on pace for just over eleven.

164
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah on the season last year, second in the NFL

165
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: with twenty four. What has happened? And with Hunter Henry

166
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: and I are let go the other way? Yeah you

167
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: think so? So? Yeah, he's he's gonna drought, but you

168
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: gotta start Allan give him a b The williams Is

169
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: Boys Tyrell and Mike Tyrrell just eight targets over his

170
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: last two games. Yeah, and how many touchdowns? Three yards?

171
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: I'll give him the sea over Mike who did score

172
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: his last game, but that was his only catch and

173
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: in fact you just had one catch and two of

174
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: the three games prior. So love the him. It's not there. Yeah,

175
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: he looks great, but I know a lot of them.

176
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: I know a lot of Empire and Dynasty league owners

177
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: who have have been sitting on Mike Williams for two

178
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: years that are now just they're cutting bait. You've got

179
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: tough by weeks and how long can you hold this guy?

180
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: And now you feel like you're you got to hold

181
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: him till next year. It's I think it's the end

182
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: of the line for Mike Williams. Yeah he's a good

183
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: long term hold for sure, but yeah, redraft not too viable.

184
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: Antonio Gates first ballot Hall of Famer, but he's on

185
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: the bench despite the tight end waste Land. We were

186
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: just discussing and Philip Rivers, I didn't give him an AD.

187
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: It's more like a B plus multiple touchdowns in every game.

188
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: Uh This year Seattle has not allowed a ton of

189
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns, but over three hundred yards to opposing quarterbacks

190
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: in two of the last three. So you're starting Rivers

191
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: over to the Seattle side. Chris Carson another A but

192
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: also questionable again with a hip injury, hundred yards rushing

193
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: in three of his last four games. Pete Carroll truly

194
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: leaning on him if he goes This seems like a

195
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: probable questionable right, So again, NFL, please bring back probable.

196
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: We would appreciate it. UH over to Tyler Lockett. I'm

197
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: gonna give him a B, but that's being pretty generous,

198
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: more like a C only because Casey Hayward has really

199
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: rounded into form, playing some great corner for San San Diego.

200
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: L A definitely okay, Uh, just to be only two

201
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: two wide receivers have scored against the Charger Chargers over

202
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: the last four games, or just a very soft bee

203
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: for Locket. Uh, Doug Baldwin and give him a C.

204
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: He runs of his routes from the slot, so Casey

205
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: Hayward shouldn't be a factor for him, But he's been

206
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: very up and down the least, so I'm not not

207
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: very up either for Doug Baldwin, might I add ye?

208
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, just to see people who divested in in

209
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: Baldwin early in the season when he was hurt, that

210
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: just caught him out right. You made the right call,

211
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: no doubt. And uh back to the tight end waste

212
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: land ed Dixon if you are uber desperate and people are,

213
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: he's in the top twenty Dixon. We haven't heard from

214
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: them all year because he's been hurt. He is healthy,

215
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: He is better than dis Lee and Finet, so he

216
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: is the guy at tight end and the Chargers have

217
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: allowed to tight end to score and back to back games,

218
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: so and they're allowing four catches forty five yards per

219
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: game to the position. So if really desperate at Dixon

220
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: the CE and then Russell Wilson in A despite not

221
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: running as much, uh, he gets the A. The Chargers

222
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: secondary looks good on paper as of late, but they've

223
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: also faced Marcus Mariotta, Baker Mayfield, Eric car CJ Bethard.

224
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is not those guys. Uh. Multiple multiple passing

225
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns in every game, but one three touchdown passes and

226
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: four of those six games, so easy for us. Russell

227
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: Wilson has quietly been having I think his best passing

228
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: season as a pro, and I think it's been masked

229
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: by the fact that his fantasy numbers haven't been that

230
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: that that good because he's averaging I think it's either

231
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: eleven or fourteen rushing yards per game, so he's been

232
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: a middling fantasy producer. Meanwhile, his his his quarterback play

233
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: has been fantastic as a passer. Well, Seattle as a

234
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: whole needs some death. People were saying they're gonna be

235
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: the worst team in the NFC. It's it's unbelievable that there,

236
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable there that they are as good as they are.

237
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: Sometime we'll we'll spend more time on the Seahawks. We'll

238
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: take a break. It is our very special once a

246
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: it because not everybody wants to see the kill. But

247
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: we have a kill on record right now from Nick

249
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: count right now, one for Nick. This is Fantasy Football Weekly,

250
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: presented by green Bill Premium on the van. Wow. We

251
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: had this one last week, didn't we? I don't think

252
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: this was last week? No, we had was. It was

253
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: very slow last week, but not like that one leap

254
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: time right here, nine players not normally in your starting lineup.

255
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: It's a bit. We all take a chance on me. Uh, Scott,

256
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: all three of my guys are Waiver wire available. That's

257
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: who your quarterback is. My quarterback is Jill Flacco. Uh.

258
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: He plays Pittsburgh and last time he faced Pittsburgh earlier

259
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: in the season, he threw for three hundred and sixty

260
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: three yards and two touchdowns in at Pittsburgh. Now he's home.

261
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: Now he's home in a big game that this could this,

262
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: this could be the division decider later in the season. Uh,

263
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: he's He's averaging two touchdowns per game at home, big

264
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: must win game. Steelers started this season terrible, but they've

265
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: been better recently, except the fact that they have allowed

266
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns in five of their last six. So I

267
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: think it's a big day for Flacco. All right, I'm

268
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: going back to the well with case Keenum used trying this,

269
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: so you've tried this several times. Did last week to

270
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: six and right, My other players didn't work out, so

271
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: we won't go there. But I like Case again this

272
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: week against the Texans. Case has multiple passing touchdowns and

273
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: three of his last four. Houston looks tough on paper

274
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: against quarterbacks recently, but if you think Brock Osweiler, Cody

275
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: Kessler Blake Bordles, Nathan Peterman, Josh Allen, and Deak Prescott

276
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: are tough quarterbacks to face, and the Texans at the

277
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: highest opponent passing touchdown percentage in the league, and every

278
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: touchdown level out on the road this year has come

279
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: through the air. I like case, especially without Damarius Toms.

280
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: You like him better. It's agestion by subtraction. I love

281
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: you sorry. Alex Smith goes up against the Falcons. Now,

282
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: Smith has not been a fantasy factor, but he's allowed

283
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: his team to a five and two record. He's played well,

284
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: it just hasn't resulted in fantasy points. That changes here.

285
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,479
Speaker 1: Five of the past six quarterbacks to face the Falcons

286
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: have topped three hundred thirty five yards and thrown three

287
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: or four touchdowns. Look, I don't even need that's I

288
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: don't even need that level. I don't need him to

289
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: be I don't need him to be six of Evan

290
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: to get three thirty five and three. I would just

291
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: I'd just give me the two eighty and two and

292
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: I gotta win for Alex Smith. I think this is

293
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: a great matchup against a a really injury depleted Falcon secondary.

294
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: Let's go to the running back Division Division the running

295
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: back position. Excuse me, Scott's let's stay in Washington with

296
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: Capri Bibbs, who is questionable, but that's the kind of

297
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: questionable that's probably probable. He's gonna he's gonna replace Chris Thompson,

298
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: who's out this week. He had four forty three and

299
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: a touchdown in the receiving game with last time with

300
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: Thompson was out. And he's playing the Falcons who are

301
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: allowing nearly nine receptions per game on the season, which

302
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: is the worst and feels like they've been worse than

303
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: in that category for years on end now and just

304
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: under seventy yards receiving per game to running backs, which

305
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: is second worst in the league. He could get a

306
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: lot of receiving play if he doesn't even add to

307
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: it with rushing. So he's I like him a lot

308
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: this week. Okay, you're running back. I got the human cockroach.

309
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: Frank Gore refuses to at home against Jets. Only ten

310
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: touches for forty four combo yards in the Week two meeting,

311
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: But unlike earlier in the season, opposing running backs are

312
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: carving up the Jets, or should I have said that

313
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: they're grounding the jetsund rounded the Jets over the last

314
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: five weeks opposing backs for averaging a hundred and fifty

315
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: six combo yards and more than twenty seven touches per game.

316
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: And while he hasn't scored a touchdown yet, Frank Gore

317
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: has logged double digit carries over the last five weeks,

318
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: so he will see ample opportunity. And I did the

319
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 1: deep research here. It's always a homecoming game for Frank

320
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: Gore in Miami. Every game is a homecoming game. Every

321
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: home game. It is officially homecoming weekend at the University

322
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: of Miami. It's a homecoming game in a homecoming weekend

323
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: said double bonus homecoming bonanza. All Gore's boys passing present

324
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: will be in thee tendance on Sunday, and he's gonna

325
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: go off market down. Duke Johnson goes up against Kansas City.

326
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: Ever since the Carlos High trade, we keep we were

327
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: thinking that Duke Johnson get a bigger role. That hasn't

328
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: happened yet. But look at who is their new offensive coordinator.

329
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: It's the running back coach, Freddie Kitchens. By the way,

330
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: nobody more surprised to find himself as an offensive coordinator

331
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: than Freddie Kitchens. But you repeat the same one, Joe,

332
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: you repeat the same song. Otherwise we're tipping our hand

333
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: for next week's song. We can't do that. There we go,

334
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: thank You'll learn the nuances of the job I was on.

335
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: I was honest. There's like a seven minute NFL films

336
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: on Kitchens. It's hard not to reform. He seems like

337
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: a guy. Earlier this week he said something to the

338
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: effect of, you know, if they're up to me, I

339
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: give Duke Johnson carries in this game. So I already

340
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: like Freddie Kitchens and I don't know anything about him really,

341
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: but we know he was the running backs coach for

342
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: the Browns. And here this is very first game. Where

343
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: do you what do you go to in your first

344
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: game at the NFL level? Calling a play what you know?

345
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson against a Chief's defense giving up the most

346
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: yards through the air two running backs seventy per game,

347
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: the third most receptions to running backs. This could be

348
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: the coming out party for Duke Johnson that we've been

349
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: waiting for all season. Austin Ekeler roasted this Chiefs, this

350
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: Chief's defense in a similar role here, I think this

351
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: is a great opportunity for Duke Johnson. Let's go to

352
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: the receiver position, Scott. Yeah, I'm going tray Kwon Smith.

353
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: He's only game three catches per game, but he's top

354
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: five in yards per catch. And this is a game

355
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: where the over under his sixty. I think it's gonna

356
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: be an extreme shootout. He's high risk, high reward, but

357
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 1: I think in a game like this, he's gonna have

358
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: to He's gonna have to make plays. All right, I've

359
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: got a rookie receiver. D J. Moore of the Carolina

360
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: Panthers had the best game of his young career last week.

361
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: Five catches for ninety yards, saw career high and snaps,

362
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: routes and targets and uh, but hey, he's got the bucks.

363
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: He's playing the bucks just being carved up anybody versus Bucks,

364
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: specifically number two receivers recently. So do you guys say,

365
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: have Brent Grimes is the one quasi functional cornerback they've got,

366
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: So then you just not throw at brand Crimes because

367
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: Grimes is always on the number one more is in

368
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: a good spot and rest of season his activities ramping up.

369
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: He's a guy you want to keep your eye. Tory

370
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: Smith ruled out for this game. Marquez Valdez scant Ling.

371
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: You guys know, I've been skeptical about a lot of

372
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: these different receivers for the Packers, but I like this guy,

373
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: and I think he's going to take the job away

374
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: from Geronimo Allison, who probably does not play in this game.

375
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: He played more snaps than Alison and Cobb last week.

376
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: I was just going to say, sorry, no, it's fine.

377
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't absolutely true. He was already trending towards the

378
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: most usage out of that group. Anyhow, He's got the Patriots.

379
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: The Patriots of exactly one good cornerback, Stephan Gilmar. He

380
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: will be busy with Davante Adams. He's a shadow corner.

381
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: That means Mark has Valdez scant Ling will primarily be

382
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: guarded by Jason mccordy, who has allowed receptions of fifty

383
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: or more yards and two of the last three weeks

384
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: and a passer rating of over one hundred in his

385
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: coverage for three straight weeks. It's a great matchup. Marquees

386
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: Valdez scant Lane. Can we just go mvs from now on?

387
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: We can put them in the But it's so much

388
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: fun saying Marquez Valdez scant Lane. You know then they

389
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: got uh, always always your Brown. He's always on top

390
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, very nice. Too many too many names

391
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: in the Green Baby, well, at least too many brothers Brown. Yeah,

392
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of them in college that are coming right.

393
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: Isn't Equitamius the first of several of the st Browns.

394
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: So they could one day run a trip set of

395
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: three wide receivers with three names. Possibly that would be

396
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: something this week it is chick chat, ladies. We're only

397
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,239
Speaker 1: taking your calls because it is dear opener. We've been

398
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: doing this for the better part of fifteen years. Your

399
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: husbands haven't bandoned you. We have not. At Fantasy Football Weekly,

400
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: we are taking your calls six five, one nine, five

401
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: three to six. Men, if you are streaming the show

402
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: right now, tweet a photo of what you're looking at

403
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: from your deer stand. I'm retweeting them on my Twitter

404
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: account at Paul Charchion. And we've already had a fifteen

405
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: different people send photos that are streaming, because what else

406
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: are you gonna do in the deer stand? But listen

407
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Football Weekly? We love that. And then this

408
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: on Twitter, we have heard from a twelve point trophy

409
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: buck who says, how about some love for the hunted.

410
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm bedded down near a stream listening to the show,

411
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: and I've already avoided three bullets and a rogue mountain

412
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: lion and it's not even that's pretty impressive from the

413
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: twelve point trophy buck tweeting also avoided, like Leonard for

414
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: Nette Jeric McKinnon that that really is a savvy twelve pointer.

415
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: Let's dive back into the matchups vikings taken on the Lions.

416
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: Let's start with the running game here. If Dalvin Cookie

417
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,239
Speaker 1: is it, all signs are that Dalvin Cook is going

418
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: to be active. Now, all that said, I think even active,

419
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: I suspect his total touched number will be in the

420
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: Welsh range snaps snaps right, So I mean I don't

421
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: think I want to start Cook yet. Um. The other

422
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: side of it is, boy, if you were one hundred

423
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: percent healthy, you'd never play him going into a bye.

424
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: You know, you could come out of the bye with

425
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: a guarantee that he'd come out one healthy. So I

426
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: don't think you'd put you'd play him unless you were

427
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: ready for a bigger workload and was really a percent.

428
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: So I think Cook plays, but I've got a very

429
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: sketchy see start on him only because Detroit has been

430
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: such a bad run defense and they're seeing the fifth

431
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: most rushing attempts per game, So you could you can't.

432
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,239
Speaker 1: You can start him in a tricky bye weekend. Think

433
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: if it weren't for the bipocalypse, I would not have

434
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: a starting any So I've got to see on Dalvin Cook,

435
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: but it could go really sideways. If he does only

436
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: touch the ball handful of times, then Latavius Murray. If

437
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: Cook doesn't go, he's an e. If Cook goes, I

438
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: think he's a beat. He's played well in Cook's absence,

439
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: averaging five point four yards per carry over the last

440
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: three weeks, and he's posted his best game as a

441
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: receiver just last week. Detroit really struggles against bigger power

442
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: backs like Murray, straight ahead runners Isaiah Crowell, Ezekiel Elliott,

443
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: Chris Carson all big days against the Lions, giving up

444
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: almost six yards per carry on the season. The addition

445
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: of snacks Harrison clearly helps Detroit, but is not reversed

446
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: them into suddenly being a a good run defense. Let's

447
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: go to the passing game. Kirk Cousins gets a B.

448
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: I mentioned in passing that the Lions are seeing the

449
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: fifth most rushing attempts, they are seeing the fewest passing attempts,

450
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: and volume will work against Kirk Cousins stat line in

451
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: this one, potentially, and especially if Stefan Diggs does not play,

452
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: But we'll get same of the second. Cousins gets a

453
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: mediocre secondary that has allowed multiple passing touchdowns in six

454
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: of their seven games this year. Um, and I still

455
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: think this is a a decent matchup for Cousins if

456
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: Diggs doesn't play, but you hope he can go. So

457
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: the deal on him is he didn't practice a week

458
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: and I believe there's only been one or two times

459
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: in the history of Mike Zimmer in which a player

460
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: did not practice all week, turned around and played and

461
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: they activated Chad BB this morning. Oh that's a sign. Yeah,

462
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: I didn't hear that. That's a sign. Is he related

463
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: to I don't think Diggs is blaying? Is he really?

464
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: Is he Don's kid? Uh? Tell me he has Don's kid?

465
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: How about that. I've been doing this long enough that

466
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: I've I've now I've seen many many cases where the

467
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: kid has been I've owned the Father and the Kig. Yeah, McCaffrey,

468
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: great example. Um, okay, you've Scott. You've got a great

469
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: stat on games for Stefan Diggs in which he was

470
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: on the injury report throughout his career. What did we get?

471
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: And I will say this is Scott Barrett dug this up.

472
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: But his yard in totals when he's on the injury

473
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: report for Stefan Diggs forty two yards, eighteen yards, fifty

474
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: nine yards, twenty nine yards and twenty seven yards only

475
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: in touchdown in all of those games. There we go.

476
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: That's not good. So I've got to see grade on

477
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. And look, you could play it safe and

478
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: just take him out of your lineup and I wouldn't

479
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,719
Speaker 1: blame you. That's said. He's Stefan Diggs. And they are

480
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: gonna put so much attention, I believe on trying to

481
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: stop Adam Feeling. Um. Paul Allen yesterday on the Friday

482
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: Football Feast said that he thinks they'll put Darius Slay

483
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: in the slot, something they almost never do, and if

484
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: Diggs doesn't play, they'll for sure put Darius Slay in

485
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: the slot for an angle for stopping Feeling. Feeling will

486
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: break Calvin Johnson's streak of hundreds. The Lions, we are

487
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: trying to protect their own cut, their own their own

488
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: receivers streak. And last I checked, Calvin Johnson played for

489
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: the Lions. Should still be playing for the Lions. Right

490
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: if Diggs are healthy, I'd be talking about a much

491
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: better matchup against Lot Corner and Devin Lawson. But I

492
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna be the case. So that whole

493
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: thing is super murky. To mean, you still have to

494
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: start feeling. But man, are they gonna put a lot

495
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: of attention on feeling, especially if Diggs is playing hobble,

496
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: they're not playing at all because now the Vicus there's

497
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: are our outside receivers are Aldrick Robbins in LaQuan Treadwell.

498
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: We need our turn. Like the Lions peppered Herman More

499
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: for him to against the Vikings, for him to break

500
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: that reception record Herman More, Herman More the reception record

501
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: back in the nineties, and and then they peppered the

502
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: Bears peppered Matt Fourte to break the running back reception

503
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: record against US. We need to pepper just to get

504
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: the record. Like against US, I don't care Ye. Look,

505
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: I want to win the game first and foremost. Secondarily,

506
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: I want to see this. I want to see theland

507
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: get the record. Um, all right, moving on, let's go

508
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: to the Lion side of this matchup. Matthew Staffords will

509
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: be grade. Vikings have done a great job against Stafford

510
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: throughout his career, holding him to two hundred eighty six

511
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: yards or less in nine straight meetings nine times nine times.

512
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: Over that span of nine times, nine times, he's barely

513
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: averaged one touchdown per game. That's it. Xavier Rhodes expected

514
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: to play in this game. That doesn't help at all. Um,

515
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: So I've just got the B grade. I'm Matthew Stafford.

516
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: You could put him as to see if you'd like.

517
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: This is the first game without Golden Tate and that's

518
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: gonna make things weird too for everybody. He was twenty

519
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: seven percent of the passes. We're going to Golden Tate.

520
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay will get a bunch of that,

521
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: and I think they're both startable as a B grade here.

522
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: Particularly if Xavier Rhodes doesn't go, then I like him

523
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: even more. Uh. Jones lit up Xavier Rhodes in the

524
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: last time. UM, in the last time they went, and

525
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: that was in Thanksgiving, you scored twice on Xavier Roads

526
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: and put Roads on like the worst game of his

527
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: career practically, so Marvin Jones would pretend. I think Marvin

528
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: Jones would get Trey Wayne. Trey Wayne's Kenny Golladay UM

529
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: would potentially get Rhodes if he's able to go, But

530
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: at this point were really we don't know for sure,

531
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of a lot of moving parts

532
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: on this right now. B grades on Jones and Golladay

533
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: the potential to move up if Rhodes doesn't play. Let's

534
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: go to the running backs. Carry On Johnson UM. Last

535
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: week with Anthony Bartnott on the field, the Viking's given

536
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: the most rushing yards that they all year, but that

537
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: was the Saints really good running backs to overall, they've

538
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: been great. No back his top d eighty three yards

539
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. Only two have scored rushing touchdowns. UM.

540
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade on carry On Johnson, mostly

541
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: because I think he'll chip in a few receptions. We

542
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: gotta watch the injury status of theoretic if there's too

543
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: many injuries in this one. If theoretic can't go, then

544
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: I like carry on Johnson quite a bit more. But

545
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: if he does go, you could start him here. There's

546
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: a lot of talk that he could be. He could

547
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: start in the slot for Golden Tate and get receiver

548
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: action for theoretic, and he could be a sneaky pick

549
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: up and play if he goes. Vikings had some struggles

550
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: against opposing opposing running backs. They've allowed opposing backs to

551
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: gain over twelve yards per reception. That's huge for that position.

552
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: And no, not wishing injury. Would imagine if something happens

553
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: to carry on, then theoretic all of a suddenly well potentially,

554
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: but he won't think that happens, No reason to think so.

555
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: A lot tons of moving parts on this one. Stay

556
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: very stay stay close by on Sunday morning to find

557
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,880

Speaker 1: going to fanball dot com slash Radio. We encourage you

579
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: to check that outset up a line up for this week,

580
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: and one to other items of quick business before we

581
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: get into Steelers Ravens number one. UH media reports from

582
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: the NFL Network report that Xavier Rhodes had a setback

583
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: and is unlikely to play against the Lions. Uh, let

584
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: me just reset expectations here. I think this moves uh

585
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: Jones and Gala Day into solid B territory and maybe

586
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: even a territory in this game. But we'll go solid

587
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: B territory for right now for those guys. And apparently

588
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: I didn't give a letter grade on Adam Feelin. If

589
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,239
Speaker 1: Diggs doesn't go, it's a B because I think he's

590
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: gonna draw so much attention and right now it I

591
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: don't know that Diggs is gonna go. You if then

592
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: flow charge, it is a massive It's just too many variables, unfortunately,

593
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: and feeling he doesn't need a letter grade. You're starting

594
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: at him by the way. Start it's hard not to

595
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: start him feeling a hundred yards and a touchdown in

596
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: five straight. He's only two people have done that in

597
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: the last forty nine years. Six is the record, so

598
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: he could tie that as well this week. Unbelievable. He's

599
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: so good. He actually earned the respect of Michael Thomas,

600
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: who seems to just hate everybody. I want to see him.

601
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: If he can get past uh Jalen Ramsey, then you

602
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: know you're you're pretty good. All Right, last item of business.

603
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: I got an email to the Bradshaw and Briant inbox

604
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: from Jeff Hansen noting that his um, his league's co

605
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: founder from the Northern League, Chris Lynn, died unexpectedly Friday

606
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: morning at the young age of just fifty one. And

607
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: I love the fact that his spot will be taken

608
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: by his daughter. Emily is going to take over his

609
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: team for the rest of the year. I think that's

610
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: super cool. So our condolences to the to the Lynn

611
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: family and everybody in the Northern League, and UM look

612
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: forward to seeing the the the tradition continued by young

613
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: Emily Lynd. All Right, let's dive into our matchups, beginning

614
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: with the Steelers in the Ravens. Scott Ben Roethlisberger struggles

615
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: on the road anyway, and now he's going up against

616
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: arguably the best defense in the NFL. What do you

617
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: think about the passing game for the Steelers. Yeah, I've

618
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: kind of downgraded a lot of what they got going on,

619
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: especially with Ben on the road. The Ravens are a

620
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: top top two defensive you to basically second on the season,

621
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: but over the last couple of weeks they have a

622
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: lot of multiple touchdowns back to back games to breezing Cam.

623
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit of an opening here

624
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: for Ben Um. Only one quarterback is top two in

625
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: sixty five yards against the raven I wouldn't be expecting

626
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: a big game here, but it's it's it's a big

627
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: it's a big game in NFL aspects. I think Ben's

628
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: gonna step up a little bit. He'll be startable as

629
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: a C grade. Uh Brown, same deal with the passing game.

630
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: Ravens are top five in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving

631
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed, top five as in their top over the

632
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: last three weeks, and top five for fantasy points allowed

633
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: to wide receivers on the season. So I'm giving Brown

634
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: a B grade. You're not benching him, but you have

635
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: to really temper your expectations here. Um. When these two

636
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: met earlier in the season, neither Juju or Brown top

637
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: sixty five yards, which is really concerning, but Brown did score.

638
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: I'm giving Juju barely a C. Brown is probably a

639
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: pretty safe B. But it's it's kind of gross there.

640
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: Bench and Vance McDonald again, tough touchdowns, I can't are

641
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: tough matchup. I can't trust him Connor is is a

642
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: tough one here. It's a tough matchup because there is

643
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: a tough matchup for Connor, who only put up forty

644
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: four total in the earlier meeting with Baltimore and Baltimore

645
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: is allowing just three point three yards per carry over

646
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: the last five h running back his top sixty five

647
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: rushing yards against them since Week two, um mixing. However,

648
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: if if we're gonna talk about running backs, the top

649
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 1: twenty touches on Baltimore mixing eighty four and Connors averaging

650
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: over twenty three touches per game over the last I know,

651
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: I know, but there's always that chance for it for

652
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown with Connor. I have a hesitant, really hesitant

653
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: b grade. Okay, and that's about all I can give Connor.

654
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: On the other side, Uh, Flacco was my take home.

655
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: I actually really really like him this week, and I

656
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: like his most consistent receiver, John Brown, um Steen Brown

657
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 1: or Broth averaging seven and a half targets per game,

658
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: Crabtrees averaging eight. However, Brown has five drops exactly. Brown

659
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: has by far the most receiving yards and touchdowns. Uh,

660
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: He's a better deep threat for Flacco's arm He's fourth

661
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL at eighteen point nine yards per catch,

662
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: and he's scored or top to eighty five yards in

663
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: five of the eight games he's played. I have I

664
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: have a B grade on Brown and I almost considered

665
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: an A grade. I really like him this week, but

666
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: I gave him a B grade. Uh Crabtree. I did

667
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: end up giving a C grade two. He leads the

668
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: team and catches and has at least five catches for

669
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: fifty yards in five of the last seven games. That's

670
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: a decent double digit fantasy floor. So I gave him

671
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: a C grade. I'm benching sneed. I'm benching though the

672
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: tight ends because they're all splitting like crazy. It's it's

673
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: right down the middle. Even if they get six catches,

674
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: it's gonna be too too two. You don't know who's

675
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: gonna get a touchdown. If they get a touch on

676
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: Alex Collins, I'm benching. This is a terrible spot for

677
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: him against the Steelers. Uh. And they brought in Time

678
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: Montgomery Uh. Twelve point buck Allen is still there as well.

679
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: Thank you Brian gil or Guile on Twitter for that.

680
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: But I'm benching all of them. He does have one

681
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 1: of the easiest schedules going forward, but this is this

682
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: is a really tough one. The Pittsburgh's ranked fourth against

683
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: fantasy running backs, holding them to three point five yards

684
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: per carry and just nine one Comboy yards per game.

685
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: That's second fewest allowed. Hate the match up here. Just

686
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: so you know, you guaranteed twelve points for Buck Allen

687
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: in this game, so you better I know Brian Guile

688
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: did Brian gil We have mentioned by the way, Alex

689
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: Smith also dealing with a pretty serious foot injury. He

690
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: may not even play in the Sorry I missed, he's questionable. Yes,

691
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: thank you. I think he's gonna play. But even maybe

692
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: they split snaps even more because of that. I totally agree.

693
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to our next matchup, Jets, and

694
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: by the way, Marcy, Cindy, Shelly, Sarah Valerie continue to hold.

695
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: We'll be taking your calls in this segment. Hopefully. I

696
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: don't know if I'll take them all in this segment.

697
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna take some in this segment. Let's go to

698
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: the Jets taking on the Dolphins. There's not a lot

699
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: to talk about in this game, which is part of

700
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: why I like it. Yeah, let's burn through this so

701
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: we can get to the Ladies Jets. Isaiah Roll gonna

702
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: give him a B despite the fact that since his

703
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: two yard game he's total ninety four yards. I'm thirty

704
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,439
Speaker 1: seven carries. Absolutely brutal, but uh. Over the past five

705
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 1: games of back guilds have total the hundred seventy five

706
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: two hundred nine, one three and one sixty seven yards

707
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: on the ground alone against Miami, and opposing running backs

708
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: are also averaging six red zone touches per game against

709
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, with more than three coming in gold to

710
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: ghost scenarios. Those are both top five ratios. Good opportunity

711
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: for crow L. Even though Elijah McGuire is coming off.

712
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: I R Croyl. It gets UH give him the B

713
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: maybc uh For the wide receivers, I don't really want

714
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: to talk about this at all. Robby Anderson and Quincy

715
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: and are questionable, might come back. Xavier Howard questionable for Miami.

716
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: One of the pop corners in the game. I don't know.

717
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm not starting any of them regards if Howard sits

718
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: curse is interesting, That's about it. But I'm not trusting

719
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: the known randers to coming off injury. They're on the bench.

720
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: See for curse. If Howard is out, Chris Herndon gets

721
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: to see uh touchdowns and three straight Miami's allowed the

722
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: second most touchdowns to tight ends. That's pretty simple, and

723
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: Sam probably actually a B. Well, don't go it all right, C.

724
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 1: Plus moving on, Donald Ben, Sorry, rookie, you're on the bench.

725
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 1: Over to Miami Kenyan Drake. Give him a B. After

726
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: a brutal stretch earlier than the season, when you're seeing

727
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: under ten touches per game, he is averaging ninety four

728
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: convoy yards and over thirteen touches per game over the

729
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: last four weeks. Uh, Frank Gore's might take a chance

730
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: for me running back. So I love Drake and Gore.

731
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: It's a great matchup for both. Over to the receiver.

732
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: Davante Parker my prespect from a few weeks ago. Can

733
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: you give him a C? Caught six of nine targets

734
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: last week for a career high on four yards. I

735
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: didn't see that coming. Nobody really did. And uh Nearly

736
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,280
Speaker 1: seventeent of Miami's passing yards go to their wide receivers,

737
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: the second highest ratio in the league. Why did they

738
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: spend a big draft pick on the tight end? They

739
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 1: never use who knows Niko Learys looks better than Kasecky.

740
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: And over sixty of the passing yards allowed by the

741
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: Jets have gone to wide receivers, the fourth highest ratio

742
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: in the league. So the stars are aligning for Parker

743
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: and Amundl. I'm giving both the sea here, but brock

744
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: Os Widler is brock Os Widler, so he's still on

745
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: the bench. Let's get it straight. It's a brick Os

746
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: whil my bad. Thank you very much. We have standards here, Shelley.

747
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: I believe you've been holding the longest. Thank you for

748
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: your patience. Hello, Shelly, Yeah, sorry, Yeah, that's okay, thank you.

749
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,439
Speaker 1: I know you're on your hold on all the long

750
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: time and you probably nodded off. It's a boring show. No,

751
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: that's all right, that's all right. I'm I'm enjoying the

752
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: show up as I do every week. Thank you for

753
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: your help. Appreciate it. So I'm wondering who I should flex.

754
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if I should stick with a running back

755
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: for my flex spot or a wide receiver. By the way,

756
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm in a standard non PPR league. I have Sony

757
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: Michelle who's been injured, but he's questionable or probable, as

758
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: you guys would like to say. Yes, Um, I have

759
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: Kevin Coleman, but I also picked up Courtland, Sutland and Godwin.

760
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: All Right, Scott, what do you think what the standard

761
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: makes this even rougher? But honestly I like Sutton the

762
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 1: most out of that group this week? Do you really

763
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: Dony Michelle? I? I don't know how much Michelle is

764
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: gonna play. If if we get reports that he's, you know,

765
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: ready to go, then it's Michelle because he's He's the

766
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: safest bet in standards. So you would put Sutton in

767
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: the lineup now for Shelley and then wait and if

768
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: you get you here something, well they're late game, they

769
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: are there. You do hear things though, Yeah, that's possible.

770
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 1: But Sutton is your safe play for standard scoring where

771
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: you're just looking for touchdowns. Yeah, Sarah, thank you for

772
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: your patients this morning. Yeah, Hi, thank you. Um So

773
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm also in the Standard League no PPR, and I'm

774
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: thinking about drapping Marquis good one and picking up Mike Williams.

775
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: I would I would stay with Marquis. You know what

776
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: we were talking about. The Williams is in l A earlier,

777
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: and I just don't unless this is like a long

778
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: term league, so there like a keeper dynasty league. I

779
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: think I like Goodwin more than Williams this year and

780
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: probably next year. Two. Yeah, probably, you know when you've

781
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: got your starting quarterback back and you know this Mullen's

782
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: kid is the best quarterback in the NFL. But yeah,

783
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: I would I would hold Goodwin, Sarah, No, Mike, not

784
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 1: this year. Thank you, Sarah. I appreciate to appreciate the call. Valerie. Hello,

785
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: Hi there hear me. Yes, okay, I am wondering if

786
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm kind of weak on my wide receivers and I

787
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: picked up Locket this week. I lost little Fuller and

788
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: I'd lost some players. But what who would you play,

789
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper or Locket this week? I would keep playing

790
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: Locket because all he's done is scoring six different games

791
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: this year, and Amrie Cooper is still a pretty big

792
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: question mark. So I think I would take the safety

793
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: of Tyler Lockett. Yeah, you're not worried about Hayward. Um,

794
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 1: I don't love his matchup with Heyward, but Casey Hayward.

795
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: But that's okay. I was about to say on paper,

796
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: the matchup is way better for Cooper, but you can't

797
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: trust him in his first game in ball. No, yeah,

798
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: it's it's got to be lock it. I'm with you.

799
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: Thank you, Valerie, appreciate checking in. Thank you. If you

816
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: I'm retweeting all of those at Paul CHARCHI, let's jump

817
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 1: into uh. Let's jump into three hot questions, and it

818
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: only makes sense. Hot question number one, Leonard Fournette appears

819
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,919
Speaker 1: to be ready to return after this week's by From

820
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: this point forward, will Leonard Fournette be an RB one

821
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: and r B two a flex or a bench player? Scott?

822
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,959
Speaker 1: If they hadn't traded for Hide, I would have said,

823
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: I would have considered RB one, But because t J.

824
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: Yelden is currently RB eight on the year in normal

825
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 1: PPR scoring um they but last week they split snaps

826
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: between Hyde and Yelden more than they pretty much had

827
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: with any other running back split over the last two years.

828
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: It feels like the Jags are tired of Fournette getting

829
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: dinged up and even said as much when they when

830
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: they made the high trade. I can see all three splitting.

831
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: I see for Net is the lead of that. But

832
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: I'll say flex, Okay, yeah, flex at best, And that's

833
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 1: being generous as you're sort of alluding to. I don't

834
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: see any third down work for four net rest of

835
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: season with Hide and t J yelled in in tow

836
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 1: for Jacksonville, and uh, I'm just gonna throw this out

837
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: there weeks fourteen and fifteen. The Jaguars have Titans and

838
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: Redskins probably too, the worst matchups possible for running back.

839
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: So flex is being very generous, but I'll go there

840
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 1: as well. Uh, Let's assume that the ratio of touches

841
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: between the Jacksonville running backs looks like this, sixtent for

842
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: four netwent for yelled in tent for hide. Does that

843
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: sound reasonably fair? Yeah? All right? If that's the case.

844
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: The Jacksonville as a team, Jackson's running the ball eighteen

845
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: times per game. That's that means eleven carries ten and

846
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: a half. Eleven carries for four net levon carry isn't

847
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 1: gonna get it done? They left average, No kidding, um,

848
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: they he's averaging well even if I give him last

849
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,760
Speaker 1: year's better yards per carry at four at ten eleven

850
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: carries four yards to carry. That's only forty four yards.

851
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: So maybe can you get your touchdowns well? Last year?

852
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: And again he was better last year in the Jaguars

853
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: offense was better last year. But if I give him

854
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: last year's ratio, he scored once every thirty rushes last

855
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: year to get to thirty rushes on this split backfield.

856
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: Given that, how they're using their backs. Now, that means

857
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: once every three games he gets a touchdown. So that

858
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: means your average game for Leonard four Nette forty four

859
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: yards zero point three three three touchdowns per game. That's

860
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: flex at best. So the correct answer for Leonard four

861
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: Nette going forward flex question number two. So clearly he

862
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,439
Speaker 1: was worth six in the in your gates, I don't

863
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: think I wasn't thinking about that. Dalvin Cook appears to

864
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: be ready to return this Sunday. From this point forward,

865
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: for Dalvin Cook, will he be an RB one and

866
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: r B two, a flex or a bench player? Brian,

867
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: that's real quick. I know there are people out there.

868
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: We just talked for net. There are people that drafted

869
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: for Net Cook and beginning with the first three picks.

870
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 1: Probably they're not listening to this show. For sure, they've

871
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: given up, but they can. They have converted to do

872
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: the opposite Drafters. That's the good news there you go, right, Okay,

873
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, this is a hot question. I don't I

874
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: don't know he's a flex play moving forward. I don't know.

875
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 1: It's not an acceptable answer. I don't know. I don't

876
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: know what the visings are doing. That's what I meant

877
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,720
Speaker 1: to say in terms of rushing him back, limited snaps,

878
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: just late till he's healthy, but assuming he will be

879
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: healthy moving forward, I'm just gonna say flex. I'm just

880
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: really looking at the schedule. The Bears next week, very

881
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: tough matchup, but then it's favorable with Packers, Patriots, Seahawks,

882
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: still favorable for running backs and Dolphins. Those are all

883
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: plus matchups. So assume in Cook stays healthy and uh,

884
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: you know, his snaps ramp up. I'm being optimistic here,

885
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 1: Vikings fans, I'm gonna say flex level with RB two.

886
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: Potential finance reflex though flex thanks Scott. Yeah. I to

887
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 1: be in RB two at this point in the season,

888
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: you would have to average fourteen point five points per game.

889
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: He averages his fifteen points seven points per game when

890
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: he fully plays. He's not gonna be fully for this one.

891
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 1: He will be after and the Vikings kind of have

892
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: the middle of the road schedule after that. Eighteen seventeen, fifteen,

893
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: thirty one, nineteen, those are those are the most of

894
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: the ranks that they play the middle of the road.

895
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: Hamstrings can pop back up, but the Vikings routinely give

896
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: their top running back over eight percent of snapsus Murray

897
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. Dalvin Cook earlier in the season,

898
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: he was in tenth in points per games last year.

899
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: I think he's an RV two the rest of the season.

900
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: I will continue to maintain that Cook was playing at

901
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: a very high level before the injury. It just didn't

902
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: show up in box scores. He was turning negative two

903
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: yard plays into two yard plays and it looked like

904
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 1: he was averaging two yards to carry, but he should

905
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 1: have been averaging negative two yards of cary for pizze.

906
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: But the problem is Latavius Murray, who has earned the

907
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: confidence of the coaches. He's going to continue to play

908
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: a sizeable role. He's been very good lately. As I

909
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: alluded to earlier, Vikings offensive line playing now better than

910
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: they were when Cook was running earlier in the years,

911
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: so I think there was more success to be had.

912
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 1: But I think Murray's likely involvement remains in this one.

913
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: And I see as I just forecast, as I looked

914
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: through the schedule and I forecast ahead, what great am

915
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: I going to be giving Dalvin Cook most weeks? I

916
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: think it's a c most weeks. And I love Dalvin Cook,

917
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: but I just I'm really worried that Murray is going

918
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: to be more like a sixty Sorry, it's gonna be

919
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: like sixty forty Cook to Murray instead of what I

920
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: want to see is like eight twenty Cook to Murray.

921
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: And I think that's going to be the difference in

922
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: most of these matchups. Schedule is fundamentally favorable. There is

923
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: a there is a scenario where Cook is just great

924
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: and Murray gets buried back on the depth chart, and

925
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: it Cook ends up being at RB one the rest

926
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: of the way. Um, I'd love to see it work

927
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: out that way, but I can't say that that's gonna

928
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: happen right now, So correct answer vons hot question number three.

929
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs owners are monitoring or excuse me, Chief's owners are

930
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 1: motoring to the playoffs. But against the run, against the past,

931
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: and against points allowed, the Chiefs probably have the hardest

932
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: playoff run of any team. Their playoff opponents weeks fourteen

933
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 1: through sixteen the Ravens, the Chargers, and the Seahawks. Should

934
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: Chief owners sell high in advance of the playoffs or

935
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,760
Speaker 1: do you go with the guys that got you there? Scott, Yeah,

936
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: you pretty much nailed it with that. The uh with

937
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: the question. Yeah, well, the way you put it, the

938
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: second worst playoff schedule for quarterbacks and wide receivers, h

939
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: third worst for running backs. So it's just terrible. But

940
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: I'm not counting on defenses to fully figure them out.

941
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: I'd rather take the better players and the offense with

942
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: the tougher schedule than downgrade my players and trade them

943
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: for ones with with Uh, you know, playoff schedules that

944
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 1: we think at this moment in halfway through the season

945
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: are tougher. I you never know this playoff schedule, what

946
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: we think how tough it is could change. And my

947
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: homes had three hundred against the Jaguars. So I'm I'm

948
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:31,280
Speaker 1: not trading no, uh, not trading Mahomes, not trading Kelsey.

949
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking. I'm talking broadly here, all right, but brought Okay,

950
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: well here's a broad answer. Yes, I would trade some

951
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: cheapsk alright, with Kareem Hunts being leading list, just looking

952
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: at these matchups, Ravens brutal Chargers will have Joey Bosa

953
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: by the time they meet again. Uh, that that's not

954
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: good for Kareem Hunt and then Seattle. Seattle's defense run

955
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: defense is better than their past defense, right, now, so,

956
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: so yes to broadly answer your yes, so we've got

957
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: to know and yes, yes, and I am also gonna

958
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: give a wavering answer on this. Here's why. The big

959
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: problem that you have to think about for the playoffs

960
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: as you're looking at this is this. It only takes

961
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: one bad game and your season's over. They need to

962
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:23,280
Speaker 1: go three. They need to outperform these defenses three straight times.

963
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: So when I looked at this, I said to myself,

964
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: and by the way, I'm deeply invested in Chiefs across

965
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 1: all my leagues because I just love the Chiefs rolling

966
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 1: into the season. I my plan is to hold one Chief.

967
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: That might be Tyreek Hill, it might be Patrick Mahomes.

968
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to diversify beyond Chief number one. I'm gonna

969
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 1: find the best deals i can. I'm gonna try to

970
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: turn Travis Kelsey and Zach Ertz I'm gonna try to

971
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: turn or I'm gonna keep Kelsey. I'm gonna going to

972
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: try to turn Patrick Mahomes into an elite quarterback who's

973
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 1: got an easier run. That's my plan, and we should

974
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: just throw this out. They're broadly keep the broad team going.

975
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: Start looking at the matchups now, for the playoffs. If

976
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: you're not going to use them, you're potentially keeping those

977
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: good matchups away from your potential if you've got if

978
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: you've got chiefs, you're already thinking about the playoffs because

979
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: your team is sitting in great shape right now. So

980
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: the correct answer officially is keep one chief but not

981
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 1: multiple chiefs. That's off. That's a little off the it's

982
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: a little off the board, but that's okay. Let's move

983
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: back to our matchups. By the way, Marcy, Cindy, Emily,

984
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: and Donna, please continue to hold Chiefs take on the Browns. Hey,

985
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 1: that's me. We just mentioned all of our favorite Chiefs.

986
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Tyree Hill, Travis Kelsey, Kareem Hunt automatic as

987
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: we're not going to spend much of any more time

988
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:50,280
Speaker 1: on it than this. Tyreek Hill's got a groin injury.

989
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: Soft tissue injuries are always dicey and they can reinjure easily. Still,

990
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: the expectation is that Tyreek Hill is gonna play, and

991
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 1: if they're going to throw them out there, I think

992
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: you've got to start them. And the fact that Cleveland

993
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 1: ranks twenty seven and passing yards allowed on the season

994
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 1: over the last five Weeks tells me, you kind of

995
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: have to start Tyreek Hill and just hope he does

996
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: not re injure a B grade for Sammy Watkins, fresh

997
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,760
Speaker 1: off his best game as a Chief, notching season highs

998
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 1: and targets, catches, yards, and scores. With Hill limited and

999
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: with the potential that he has a setback here, there

1000
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: could be a lot of extraction going to Sammy Watkins

1001
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:26,479
Speaker 1: in this game. He runs from all over the field,

1002
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: so that means he's gonna see all three of the

1003
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: Browns cornerbacks, only one of which is particularly good, the

1004
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: rookie Denzel Ward. Let's go to the Cleveland side. I

1005
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,919
Speaker 1: love Nick Chubb in this game. He carried the ball

1006
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:42,399
Speaker 1: eighteen times in both games as Cleveland's lead back since

1007
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: the Carlos Hyde trade and now his running back coaches

1008
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 1: calling the plays. The Chiefs giving up five and a

1009
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: half yards per rush, second most in the league. They're

1010
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: giving up one point three touchdowns to running backs, third

1011
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: most in the league. It's a great game for Nick

1012
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 1: Chubb here. The only question, Nick Chubb is this, at

1013
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: what point and it will come? Are the Browns losing

1014
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 1: so badly they can't afford to run anymore? Is that

1015
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: at half, is it in the third quarter, is it

1016
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: at the fourth quarter? And that's that's why Chubb is

1017
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: a B grade and not an A grade. Duke Johnson

1018
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 1: was might take a chance on me running back. I

1019
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: recommend him as well for similar reasons. Let's go to

1020
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: the passing game Baker Mayfield. A lot of moving parts

1021
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: from Mayfield and this one including you know new offensive

1022
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: coordinator who's not called the passing part of the offense

1023
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,399
Speaker 1: and wasn't coaching the passing part. But at some point,

1024
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, are gonna have to pass. And Kansas

1025
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 1: City is seeing the second most passes per game forty two,

1026
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: so the volume will be there for Baker Mayfield. Over

1027
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 1: the past three games, the Chiefs secondaries improved a lot,

1028
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 1: giving up modest numbers two D sixty three yards, one

1029
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: and a half passing touchdowns per game. I see Mayfield

1030
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: coming in around two fifty and two for this one.

1031
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:54,839
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry B grade. Despite double digit targets in all

1032
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: of Baker mayfield starts, he hasn't even gotten to one

1033
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: hundred yards. And since Mayfield took over, and he's gonna

1034
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: go up against the best cornerback that the Chiefs have

1035
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 1: Kendall Fuller in the slot. This is um. It's not

1036
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: a great matchup, but I just through sheer volume. I

1037
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 1: think Landry ends up with another seven eight nine catch

1038
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: game and eight nine yards. Not bad, that's be worthy um.

1039
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:22,720
Speaker 1: David and Joku, Now this one is tricky. Last week

1040
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: a primo matchup and it was untargeted, unbelievable and what happens.

1041
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 1: Head coach fired, offensive coordinator fired. Now, if you're Freddie Kitchens,

1042
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: the new offensive coordinator, you have another awesome matchup for

1043
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 1: David and Joku. Are you the next guy who's gonna

1044
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 1: put his head in the chopping block? No, We're going

1045
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: back to the well and David and Joku, especially in

1046
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,760
Speaker 1: daily if you're a daily player, people are gonna be hesitant.

1047
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: Go right back to it. In fact, to that point,

1048
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: I'll mention in my chase chart contest at Fanball fanball

1049
00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: dot Com slash chase no charge fanball dot Com last charge,

1050
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 1: he is what he is in my lineup. David and

1051
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: jocos in my line um prior to last week, and

1052
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 1: Joco had at least six targets and fifty yards in

1053
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,800
Speaker 1: each of the Baker Mayfield starts, and I think he

1054
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: goes right back to at least that those kind of

1055
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: numbers here, because tight ends have done so well against

1056
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, averaging seventy five receiving yards per game, fourth

1057
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: most in the league. Antonio Callaway's got an ankle will

1058
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: probably not play in that game, all right, Do we

1059
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: have time to fit in one more? Yeah? I think

1060
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: we do have time to fit in one more. Let's

1061
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: let's try to do it. Texans taking on the Broncos

1062
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Last time we saw him five touchdowns from Watson.

1063
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: What do you think against the Broncos as they traveled

1064
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 1: to Denver? Yeah? I like him here. I gave him

1065
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: a B grade. He's thrown at least one touchdown in

1066
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: every game, which is nice. His yard drop totals have

1067
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: dropped a little bit lately, but it's partially due to matchups.

1068
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: He's had two top five past defenses in the last

1069
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: three weeks. This matchups a little bit better. Donald had

1070
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: three touchdowns against against them. I think it's a little

1071
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: bit better. I like the upside here. I gave him

1072
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: a B grade. Hopkins is an obvious a star. You're

1073
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: never mentioning him the other wide receivers in Demeriss Thomas

1074
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: quick return to a revenge game. They have a giant,

1075
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: full ceiling to floor picture of him on the side

1076
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: of the stadium. Yes, and they for they like you know,

1077
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: as that thing is still up. As of a few

1078
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: days ago, it was still up. I don't know if

1079
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: it will be would be easier just like draw a

1080
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: mustache on it. I like that would put they put

1081
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 1: the glasses and the mustache on him the front. I

1082
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: think he's going to get limited play here, so I

1083
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: don't trust him in his first game back. Cutie's injured

1084
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: and Vincent Smith is very raw, so I'm benching all

1085
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: the other wide receivers. But I think Watson finds a

1086
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: way to get it done, whether it's mostly through Hopkins

1087
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: in a little sprinkled I'll swear, uh, Lamar Miller. It

1088
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: pains me to do this. You guys know how I

1089
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 1: feel about Lamar Miller, the most mundane runner in the NFL.

1090
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm giving him an A grade the second that I

1091
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: would have last week too, because the Dolphins have allowed

1092
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: hundred ten total yards to six straight lead running backs,

1093
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: so he was he was a clear clear A grade

1094
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: last week. This week, he plays a Denver team that

1095
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: allowed a hundred and seventy five totally hundred seventy five

1096
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: yards to Hunt, two to Girly to Hunt, and seventy

1097
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: to David Johnson when McCoy was running him up the middle.

1098
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: They're getting destroyed in just the last five weeks. Every

1099
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: time this season, every time Miller has hit eighteen or

1100
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 1: more touches, he's topped the hundred yards. I think he

1101
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 1: gets eighteen touches. I think he gets a hundred yards

1102
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: here on the other side, Keenham was Brian's uh, take

1103
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: a chance on me? I had a C grade on him.

1104
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: I don't think this is true Sutton's true coming out party.

1105
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: It's his toughest matchup left this season. He has a

1106
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: crazy nice schedule for the rest of the season, but

1107
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: that those targets have to come somewhere. And this is

1108
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 1: a Broncos past defense. Is that just allowed DeVante Parker

1109
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: and Dante ma Creef to lit light up the outside

1110
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: roll on that offense for thirteen catches, two yards and

1111
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: two touchdowns over the last two weeks. That's gonna be

1112
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: sutten this week he has a forty yard catch or

1113
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown in five straight games. That means he's on

1114
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 1: one play every game. He's getting five to seven points.

1115
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm confused about whether you like him or don't like

1116
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: I like him, but not in a grade. I gave

1117
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 1: him a B grade. Still solid. The Broncos are top

1118
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: ten again against the past, but on the outside, they've

1119
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 1: they have a lot, a little bit um. He's there

1120
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: in the league in yards per catch at nineteen point three.

1121
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 1: I like him. I like him quite a bit. I

1122
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:33,479
Speaker 1: don't like him enough to give him an A grade

1123
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: because the Broncos D has been solid most of the year.

1124
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: It's just the last two weeks they've been talking about

1125
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: the Houston D. Yeah, the Houston d s. And I'll

1126
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 1: mention this, the Texans have got all kinds of injuries

1127
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: in their secondary that you want to watch on Sunday.

1128
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph, Aaron Colvin, Andre Holland. Shari's right, all guys

1129
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: that are on the end of you're trying to convince

1130
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: me to go, and so I'm not. I think I

1131
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: think watch those injuries and if there's a bunch of

1132
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: them that poor and is de active, de active, so

1133
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,919
Speaker 1: then maybe yeah, we've moved to an A at that point.

1134
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 1: Anders I did given A. He's already been an A

1135
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: guy for many games this season, and he might get

1136
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 1: a couple of extra targets with Damarius Thomas out has

1137
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: a hundred plus in two of the last three. The

1138
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: only issue here is the Texas have allowed more than

1139
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 1: forty five yards to just one slot guy this entire season.

1140
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 1: That that's that's the worry, um, but uh, I still

1141
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 1: gave him an A grade. Lindsay, Man, I give him

1142
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 1: an A grade here. Booker, I'd never like Booker, but

1143
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna play a small factor. Freeman is like the

1144
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,440
Speaker 1: out because he's still not practicing. I think he got

1145
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 1: a limited practiceing, but I think he's out. Lindsay has

1146
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 1: over nine total yards in each of the last two

1147
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 1: weeks and had twenty one touches with Freeman out last week.

1148
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: With that five point seven yards per carrying seven points

1149
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 1: six yards per reception. If he gets anywhere near twenty touches,

1150
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a great game. Yeah. I love Lindsay

1151
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: and by the way, cake playoff schedule for Philip Lindsay

1152
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 1: definitely stay investage with him. Let's take a break when

Speaker 1: calls before this show is out. I promise. We need

1166
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 1: to knock down a few more matchups. Buccaneers taking on

1167
01:02:55,720 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Brian Ryan Fitzpatrick back. They finally out it right,

1168
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: They went back to Stu Beard. I can't wait to

1169
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 1: see what happens. Something told me or I had a

1170
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 1: feeling you'd be excited about this. Yes, the best quarterback

1171
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL gets the start again. Still more fantasy

1172
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: points Stu Beard has than Sam Donald, Dak Prescott, Alex Smith,

1173
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 1: and Marcus Mariotta in most most leagues. I'm giving him

1174
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 1: just a B here. It's sort of a neutral matchup.

1175
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 1: Caroline is not a primo matchup, but they have allowed

1176
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: multiple touchdown passes in every game since Week two, So

1177
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Fitzpatrick a B. I'm gonna give Mike

1178
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 1: Evans a A though he has never caught more than

1179
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: six passes against the Panthers, but he's never played against

1180
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: the Panthers with Stu Beard as his quarterback. And don't

1181
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: forget in the first three games of the season, Evans

1182
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 1: total thirty targets from fits. Magic and primary receivers of

1183
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: Evans ILK have succeeded against Carolina this year. Al Shon

1184
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 1: Jeffrey ten targets, seven catches eighty eight yards in a

1185
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: touch another big bodied receiver, Another big body receiver, oh

1186
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 1: b j fourteen targets eight for one thirty one in

1187
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: a touchdown, another big bodied receiver not not nearly as

1188
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: big as Evans, but yes, the other and then A J.

1189
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: Green five eight targets, five catches fifty eight yards. Not

1190
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: impressive that was in a half hurting that game. So

1191
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 1: Evans in a great spot. DeShawn Jackson, this is nuts. Uh.

1192
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 1: He garnered twenty two targets from Stu Beard and Winston

1193
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: this year both. He caught eighteen of those twenty two

1194
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: targets from Fitzpatrick eight possible. I love it, Dad, That's fantastic,

1195
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: So ste Beards so good. D Jacks in a much

1196
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 1: better spot with Fitzpatrick undersender, so I'm gonna give him

1197
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 1: a beat. And I like Chris Godwin a whole lot

1198
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 1: this week. He was almost might take a chance on me.

1199
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 1: Wide receiver scored in each of its Patrick's first three starts.

1200
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 1: He dropped at least two touchdowns that I can recollect

1201
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 1: in those games as well, and he was the most

1202
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 1: utilized receiver in the NFL in the red zone when

1203
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick was under center. So I'm starting god When this

1204
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: week if I have him and uh O J. Howard

1205
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 1: starting him to the passing yards allowed by Carolina have

1206
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: gone to tight ends. That's the highest ratio in the league.

1207
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: So I'm and Howard to be sorry. Godwin gets a sea.

1208
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 1: I didn't give him the grade breaks on the bench though,

1209
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: just too much to go around in Peyton Barber just

1210
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: to see he is the lead guy there now, but

1211
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: not a good match up. Ronald Jones is out, So

1212
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones is out. I'll mention this. It didn't materialize

1213
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 1: in the first three weeks for for Barber at all.

1214
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: But you would think the way that Ryan Fitzpatrick push

1215
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 1: his team in the secondary, you know, with his deep pushes, right,

1216
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: you would think that you should open up the running game.

1217
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,919
Speaker 1: You should have safety is playing way off the line

1218
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, cornerbacks playing off the receivers because these guys

1219
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 1: will run by you. So you would think there would

1220
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 1: be some running opportunities for Barbara with Fitzpatrick. Didn't materialize

1221
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: in the first three weeks, but I just think conceptually

1222
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: they should be there. And what what what's never in

1223
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 1: Barbera's favor and we'll get to it when we talk

1224
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 1: about the Panthers is the Buck's defense is bad, so

1225
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: they have so talking about McCaffrey easy a. Joe Mixon

1226
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 1: just shredded the Buck who might still be without being

1227
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 1: Curry and general McCoy easy for him. Devin Funcius only

1228
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 1: had eleven yards in both games against the Bucks last year,

1229
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: but that was last year. He gets a easy be

1230
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: in a Cake matchup. That's why d J. Moore was

1231
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 1: might take a chance to me wide receiver Greg Olsen

1232
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: in this day and age of tight ends, obvious A,

1233
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 1: the Bucks are awful against tight ends. And I'm not

1234
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: even read off stats while you want to start Cam

1235
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 1: Newton to my number two quarterbacks one week so when

1236
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 1: we're talking about targeting the playoffs, he was playing the

1237
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 1: Bucks in the playoffs. That's one for sure. The Bucks

1238
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 1: have one interception on the season, that's one past defense

1239
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 1: is so bad. All right, let's move on Falcons taking

1240
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: on the Washington Redskins. Hey that's me. Uh let's see

1241
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 1: page right here. Okay, Matt Ryan's and A against the Redskins.

1242
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: He's been terrific this year, topping I'm sorry nothing, okay,

1243
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:53,959
Speaker 1: topping two eighty five yards in every game since Week two,

1244
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 1: averaging two and a half touchdowns per game since the opener.

1245
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: And because of his leaky d defense he's got, he's

1246
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 1: constantly got to throw to keep up because if Falcon's

1247
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 1: defense so bad, every game is a shootout. He's top

1248
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 1: thirty five passes in five straight games, so you get

1249
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:11,240
Speaker 1: all the volume from Matt Ryan as well. That brings

1250
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 1: Julio Jones into play for sure. You know the bit

1251
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: on Julio Jones. Tons of catches, tons of yards, no touchdowns,

1252
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 1: and we won't even get into it. No, this though,

1253
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: Washington's best cornerback Quinton Dunbar, not Josh Norman. Quentin Dunbar

1254
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: expected to return after missing a game with a nerve injury.

1255
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: I think he'll spend a lot of time on Julio,

1256
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: but he's still in a grade. Calvin Ridley gets a

1257
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 1: B grade. He leads at lanta receivers and red zone targets,

1258
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,439
Speaker 1: although he has not scored since week number four. He's

1259
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 1: been hurt in there a little bit too. Non number

1260
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 1: one receivers have performed well against Washington of late. Trey

1261
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: Kwon Smith put up a hundred eleven yards, Tory Smith

1262
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 1: put up forty three yards, Michael Gallup put up eighty

1263
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 1: one yards. All of them found the end zone in

1264
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 1: the last four weeks against the Redskins, and it's largely

1265
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: because Josh Norman is getting roasted in most games. So

1266
01:07:56,840 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley B grade. Staying with the the passing game,

1267
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 1: I've got a bench grade on Mohammed Sanu. He's injured,

1268
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: he may not play, and he's got the toughest assignment

1269
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: among the tough assignment among against slot corner Fabian Moreau,

1270
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: who's very good. All right, now to the running game.

1271
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 1: I don't like it. Tevin Coleman has been bad, and

1272
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 1: over the last four weeks Washington has faced a murderous

1273
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 1: row of running backs and utterly dominated them. Alvin Kamara,

1274
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:26,679
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, Ezekiel Elliott, and say Kwon Barkley. This sounds

1275
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: like the first round of your fantasy draft. All failed

1276
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 1: to reach forty rushing yards against the Redskins. Tevin Coleman's

1277
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: got no chance. He is on the bench, so Zito

1278
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: Smith for the same reason. I'll note this as one

1279
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 1: one caveat for the Washington Redskins. We flipped to their side.

1280
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:46,759
Speaker 1: There they will not have their star left tackle Trent Williams,

1281
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,679
Speaker 1: who underwent thumb surgery and is gonna miss the better

1282
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 1: part of a month that could have adversely affect the

1283
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 1: whole Washington offense. But still gotta love Adrian Peterson. You're

1284
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 1: reigning NFC Offensive Player of the Week. Peterson averaging one

1285
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 1: under fifteen rushing yards over his last three games, um

1286
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 1: Washington's eighth in the league and rushing yards per game

1287
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:11,240
Speaker 1: uh as A As an offense, the Falcons defense is

1288
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 1: a looting four point eight yards per carry, that's eighth

1289
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 1: most in the league. You're gonna start Adrian every week,

1290
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 1: and this is another case of it here. Sticking with

1291
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 1: the running backs, Chris Thompson's not gonna play. Capri Bibbs

1292
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 1: was to take a chance on me from I believe Brian,

1293
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 1: I gave you Alex Smith as might take a chance

1294
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 1: on me quarterback you had Frank. That's right, Capri Bibs.

1295
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 1: With Scott's Paul Richardson playable here, It's not it's not

1296
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:39,719
Speaker 1: like he's been good he should play in this game.

1297
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,759
Speaker 1: He's uh, he's been able to top fifty receiving yards

1298
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 1: just one time all year. But this is an Atlanta

1299
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 1: secondary that's given up at least fifty yards to nine

1300
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 1: different receivers just in the last month. So I think

1301
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 1: there's a chance for a very good game, potentially with

1302
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 1: some a long catch to the speedy Paul Richardson. Yeah.

1303
01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: What I was about to say to Brian was Brandon,

1304
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: have a dollar bet Alex Smith versus Matt Ryan. Wow,

1305
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 1: I got Alex Smith, got matty boy Alex Smith. I've

1306
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,640
Speaker 1: met Ryan on that look. I like Alex Smith is

1307
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 1: a guy you can pick up and start in a

1308
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 1: tough bye week. But that's I love Matt Ryan. Let's

1309
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: try to work in one more matchup into this. You know,

1310
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 1: I really don't have time. All right, We'll take a break.

1311
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:21,520
Speaker 1: Final segment coming up, a couple of matchups, Premature Speculation

1312
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 1: and Lightning Round with our all female callers including Marcy, Cindy, Laura, Emily,

1313
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:30,639
Speaker 1: Donna and Priscilla. All of that coming up next. This

1314
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: is Fantasy Football Weekly presented by devanis on the Man.

1315
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:45,600
Speaker 1: Final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly, p I need to

1316
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 1: get to as well. We've got some matchups left. We

1317
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: will go into Lightning Round and are all female caller

1318
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:56,599
Speaker 1: chick Chat day again the number six five one nine, five,

1319
01:10:56,680 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: three to six and premature speculation. Gentlemen, give me a

1320
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 1: player that people can pick up this week right now

1321
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 1: that they'll be glad they have next week when everybody

1322
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 1: else is trying to get that guy. This is this

1323
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:15,519
Speaker 1: is deep and it might not work out. But Brandon

1324
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 1: paul Is is the guy taking over for Golden Tating

1325
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,679
Speaker 1: the slot. He was really good in the preseason. Golden

1326
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 1: Tate has been glowing on him, and the line is

1327
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: playing three wide receiver sets seven sixty seven percent of

1328
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: their past plays. There's a non zero chance he becomes

1329
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 1: a factor. Non zero chance he becomes a factor. Give

1330
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: the name again, Brandon Powell. All right, I'm going off

1331
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: the beaten path here. Uh more than that, Well maybe

1332
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 1: not really, but we talked about planning ahead for the playoffs.

1333
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 1: Some playoffs start in Week fourteen, some start in week fifteen.

1334
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 1: So regardless of the week, if you plan on being

1335
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 1: in either one of those matchups, you add the Pittsburgh

1336
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:58,080
Speaker 1: Steelers defense for the Week fourteen crowd who faced the

1337
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders, who allowed a sacks to the San Francisco

1338
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: forty Niners cables the worst offensive line coach ever. That

1339
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:08,759
Speaker 1: team has absolutely mailed it in. They are done. Teams

1340
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 1: are going to just absolutely dominate them. So Steelers for

1341
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 1: the Week four teens and then the Bengals in Week fifteen.

1342
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: If you have the empty roster spot or one you

1343
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 1: can burn, you'll grab one of those team defenses. If

1344
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 1: you still use team defense. But there you go. Pick

1345
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 1: on the Raiders all season long. Elijah McGuire is the

1346
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 1: Jets running back who just came off I R this

1347
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 1: week and they immediately activated him. And I think he's

1348
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 1: going to get carries in this game. If you could

1349
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 1: actually just throw you know, throw caution to the wind

1350
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 1: and start him in this week, you needed to. Um

1351
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: he got plenty of looks last year McGuire did, but

1352
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:43,920
Speaker 1: didn't Frankly do a lot with it. Pretty forgettable three

1353
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 1: and a half yards per carry. I don't think he's

1354
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 1: a special talent, but neither Isaiah Crowell, who's going to

1355
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 1: split time with. And so let's take a look at

1356
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 1: what Elijah McGuire does in the Jets backfield, taking up

1357
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 1: some of what BELLEL. Powell left behind when he went

1358
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:01,719
Speaker 1: on injured reserve. Let's go back to the matchups, beginning

1359
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: with Rams taking on the Saints. Scott, I want to

1360
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 1: share the stat that I told you guys do it

1361
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: on the break when Todd Gurley doesn't get multiple rushing touchdowns.

1362
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,559
Speaker 1: So when Todd Gurley gets either zero or one rushing touchdown,

1363
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 1: Jared Goff goes bonkers with an average game of three

1364
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 1: hundred thirty seven yards and three and a half touchdowns

1365
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 1: per game for Jared Goff. Here comes one of the

1366
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:32,519
Speaker 1: elite run defenses in the NFL and one of the

1367
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 1: and a very shaky secondary. I like the way this

1368
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:39,559
Speaker 1: is shaping up for Jared Goff, no problem. I just

1369
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 1: I just did the hard part. I did give Goff

1370
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:43,680
Speaker 1: and a grade. I mean, the Saints are allowing the

1371
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: fifth most yards and opposing quarterbacks are allowing over are

1372
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 1: getting two touchdowns per game, and the over under sixty.

1373
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 1: Goff is gonna light this up because of which is

1374
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 1: most consistent. And uh, receiver Woods five catches for seventy

1375
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:02,400
Speaker 1: yards or more in every in seven straight games. That's

1376
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 1: a minimum of twelve points seven straight weeks. Uh. Cooper

1377
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 1: Cup I think he has a smash play this week.

1378
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 1: Just a great play against p J. Williams, who just

1379
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:15,960
Speaker 1: allowed like a hundred and fourteen yards and Johns last week. Yeah,

1380
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 1: and and earlier in the season, he was top five

1381
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 1: in red zone targets. Last season, he was top five

1382
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 1: in red zone targets. Love this love this spot for

1383
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:26,400
Speaker 1: Cup Cooks. I'm a little more hesitant on he plays

1384
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:28,640
Speaker 1: seventy four percent of his snaps from the left, so

1385
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:31,800
Speaker 1: he'll get Marshawn Lattimore, who since week too is averaging

1386
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 1: twenty eight yards per game. Allowed to watch your tight

1387
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: per game, but it doesn't take Cooks much to to

1388
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:42,120
Speaker 1: have a big game. And if he has just one

1389
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,439
Speaker 1: big play in a in a game with the sixty

1390
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:46,599
Speaker 1: over under, he can make the day. So I'm still

1391
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:49,800
Speaker 1: giving him a B grade. Girly a grade. You can

1392
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 1: never mention him. He's averaging like thirty points a game

1393
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 1: and fancy on the on the other side in the

1394
01:14:55,880 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 1: passing game, Thomas Michael Thomas is Breezes leading getter. He's

1395
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 1: in a grade like every week uh Drew Brees in

1396
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 1: a shootout like this, I give him an A grade.

1397
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:08,479
Speaker 1: But I do want to give everybody the reminder from

1398
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 1: last year from week six on with Ingram and Camar

1399
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 1: going crazy, Breeze average two hundred sixty six yards and

1400
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: just one point three touchdowns for game. I've a I

1401
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 1: have an A here. But in the last two weeks

1402
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 1: with Camara and Ingram going off two touchdowns and he

1403
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,200
Speaker 1: hasn't thrown for over two and twelve yards, it's starting

1404
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 1: again a little bit. It seems to be, but I

1405
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 1: did give him an A in this shootout. Kamara also

1406
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 1: in a grade. It's pretty obvious at this point h

1407
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 1: Ingram I did did give a B grade to Uh.

1408
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 1: Neither of them have averaged over four yards per carry

1409
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:43,519
Speaker 1: since ingram return, which is a little weird. Uh. This

1410
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: The reason I gave him a B grade is I

1411
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 1: think they might be in such shootout mode that it's

1412
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 1: more of a passing game. Ingram should see tend to

1413
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 1: fifteen touches, but if he's not, if he's not getting

1414
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,559
Speaker 1: more than four yards a carry, which he should, but

1415
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:57,640
Speaker 1: if he's not, he might he might not have a

1416
01:15:57,640 --> 01:16:01,560
Speaker 1: great you know, might not have an A grade for sure. Okay,

1417
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 1: let's go to our next matchup, Packers taking on the

1418
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 1: Patriots Sunday night epic shootout. This should be a points everywhere, right,

1419
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 1: points everywhere? Yeah, So well, let's talk with the non

1420
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 1: guaranteed plays. Aaron Jones. He's startable, but just to see

1421
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 1: for me, the Patriots are allowing hifty combo yards per

1422
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 1: game to running picks, but only ninety on the ground.

1423
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:25,040
Speaker 1: And I think Jamal Williams is still going to see

1424
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:26,720
Speaker 1: more of the third down work than Aaron Jones, So

1425
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: just to see for me for Jones, Williams is on

1426
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:32,519
Speaker 1: the bench. Uh, Davante Adams be here only because of

1427
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: the likely Stephon Gilmour shadow coverage and the age old

1428
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 1: narrative of the Patriots shutting down the top threat for

1429
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:42,439
Speaker 1: the opposition, which would be Davante Adams. But he's gonna

1430
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 1: be in your lineup. But just to be uh, Randall

1431
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:46,720
Speaker 1: Cobb and Ronald Allison on the bench from me because

1432
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 1: the injury concerns Allison sounds like a nil go. I

1433
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 1: don't trust Cobb, but I do trust Marquez Valdez scant

1434
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 1: link torches take a chance on me wide receiver like

1435
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:55,559
Speaker 1: that play, I was just gonna give him a sea

1436
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:58,240
Speaker 1: as well. Cool probably would be uh and Jimmy Graham.

1437
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:00,599
Speaker 1: We were talking about starting ed Dixon earlier in the show,

1438
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 1: So you're gonna start Jimmy Graham in this game. And

1439
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 1: then and Aaron Rodgers he's an a then over real

1440
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:09,799
Speaker 1: quick to the Patriots the obvious Uh, Brady James White,

1441
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, those are a starts. Even though the matchup

1442
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:16,719
Speaker 1: Edelman's get got this Jaire Alexander Kid out of the slot.

1443
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: That guy's good. I shouldn't say obvious a's, but you're

1444
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 1: starting these guys, but then there's some question marks, starting

1445
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 1: with Sony Michelle. We gotta see if he's gonna go.

1446
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:28,639
Speaker 1: If you're needing Michelle to go, you better go grab

1447
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 1: Kenyan Barner if you haven't already, because that's your insurance

1448
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: policy of correct. So we gotta see. And that's the place.

1449
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 1: And barn has been kicked to the curb in virtually

1450
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,040
Speaker 1: every week, so I don't pick him up just in

1451
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 1: case there's a last minute setback for Sony Michelle. But

1452
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 1: we expect him to play. And uh, Josh Gordon, Chris Hogan,

1453
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him both a sea. Everyone's expecting Josh

1454
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:47,599
Speaker 1: Gordon to be popping off. He's yet to do it.

1455
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:50,720
Speaker 1: The Packers are allowing almost two receiving touchdowns per game

1456
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:52,599
Speaker 1: to wide receivers, so I'll give them both the sea.

1457
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:57,840
Speaker 1: And Gronk should play. We'll see, but he's I'm just

1458
01:17:57,920 --> 01:18:00,639
Speaker 1: give him a B for for being Gronk. That's about it.

1459
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,320
Speaker 1: It's always frustrating with Ground, But yes, I think that's

1460
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 1: probably right. And if you, for whatever reason, maybe you're

1461
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:08,679
Speaker 1: gonn about tough the money night game. That's your tight

1462
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 1: end insurance if ground for whatever reason doesn't go. So, yeah,

1463
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:16,680
Speaker 1: you're tight end insurance. Might be Jeff Swain, who's yeah, right,

1464
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 1: it's there's no great play here. I don't think. Uh

1465
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:23,040
Speaker 1: it's Titans taking on the Cowboys. It's a bad game.

1466
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 1: The only Titan that I have a passing grade on

1467
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 1: is Dion Lewis, and he's only startable in PPR leagues

1468
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:32,559
Speaker 1: because the Cowboys are giving up almost seven receptions per

1469
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:35,959
Speaker 1: game to opposing running back sixth most. Dallas is outscoring

1470
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 1: opponents by over two touchdowns per game at home, so

1471
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:40,639
Speaker 1: you figure there's not gonna be a lot of running.

1472
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 1: The game script is gonna go to the past, and

1473
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:44,639
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to throw to Dion Lewis, and that's

1474
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 1: your hope, is that you get a bunch of receptions

1475
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:48,680
Speaker 1: out of Dean Lewis, who is otherwise providing nothing for

1476
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 1: you speaking providing nothing. Derrick Henry stinks and this is

1477
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,639
Speaker 1: a terrible matchup in a in a wrong game script,

1478
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 1: and he's absolutely on the bench, as is the entire

1479
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:00,599
Speaker 1: passing game not as not only is Mark is Mariota

1480
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 1: ice cold, but the Cowboys past defense is elite, ranking

1481
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,799
Speaker 1: number one in passing yards allowed over the last three weeks,

1482
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 1: number three in passing yards allowed on the year. All

1483
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: members of the Titans passing game are on the bench.

1484
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: Let's go to Dallas Zeke obvious a start. UM, not

1485
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: that he's been awesome here in Tennessee's actually a decent

1486
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:21,559
Speaker 1: run defense and not great, but they're decent. There ain't

1487
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: twenty one and rushing yards allowed per game to running

1488
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 1: backs and um, and that's despite the fact they've played

1489
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 1: a very soft schedule runners. So I looking at zeke

1490
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:32,559
Speaker 1: comparables and there really weren't many. The best back that

1491
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,800
Speaker 1: the Titans have faced all year, Well, Shawn McCoy. Zeke

1492
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 1: has got a chance for a very good game here.

1493
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 1: He's got an a B great on Dak Prescott. His

1494
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 1: fantasy production has been markedly better the last two games

1495
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:48,439
Speaker 1: for one main reason. Scott Linahan's letting him run. He's

1496
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 1: turned seventeen rushes the last two weeks into one hundred

1497
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 1: fifteen rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. That's gonna help

1498
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:58,599
Speaker 1: a ton. His arms gonna help out to the only

1499
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who haven't thrown both a touchdowns against Tennessee, Josh Allen,

1500
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:07,559
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles, and Joe Flacco. Everybody else has has has

1501
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 1: had and has scored multiple touchdowns against Tennessee. And then

1502
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 1: let's go to a Marie Cooper. He's got a new weapon,

1503
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:17,439
Speaker 1: dack does. Offensive coordinator Scott Linehan says that Cooper is

1504
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of playing time, which is great,

1505
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,160
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to be optimistic here. Tennessee has seen

1506
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:26,480
Speaker 1: very few functional passing offenses and similarly, big bodied receivers

1507
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 1: like all Sean Jeffrey and DeAndre Hopkins crushed the Tennessee secondary.

1508
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 1: But still it's Amari Cooper. And I don't want to

1509
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 1: get too caught up in this trade and the hype

1510
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:38,920
Speaker 1: around it, to remember this guy sucked for two years

1511
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 1: in Oakland, and I don't think he's, you know, automatically

1512
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 1: suddenly a great receiver and a consistent receiver. I'm refusing

1513
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,639
Speaker 1: to look past all of the disappointment that we've all

1514
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:52,719
Speaker 1: gone through with a Marie Cooper over the past two years.

1515
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:55,800
Speaker 1: He's still a Marie Cooper and he's still probably knows

1516
01:20:56,640 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 1: maybe the playbook and the Cowboys also asked him to

1517
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:04,280
Speaker 1: share any quote cool plays that the Raiders round. There

1518
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 1: are no there are no cool plays in a John

1519
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:11,040
Speaker 1: Grunen offense. Umari Cooper c great. I will throw this

1520
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:15,560
Speaker 1: out there. The Cowboys have the easiest schedule for quarterbacks

1521
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: and third easiest for wide receivers. For the playoffs. There

1522
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: is that for fancy class. It's time for lightning round, ladies.

1523
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:24,800
Speaker 1: The same rules apply to you that is applied to

1524
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:30,960
Speaker 1: everybody else. One question between two players, one question between

1525
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 1: two players. Who should I start? We have full phone

1526
01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:35,599
Speaker 1: lines now, but as soon as you hear somebody drop off,

1527
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:39,280

1532
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton for my flag in bipocalys okay, bipocalypse. Well

1533
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:06,200
Speaker 1: set see. I'm a Suddon guy, but I think they're

1534
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 1: both great players. This week you gotta pick. Yeah, I'm

1535
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 1: taking Sutton, but taking Sutton all right, Let's go to Cindy.

1536
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: You too, Cindy, I know you've been holding a long time.

1537
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:21,280
Speaker 1: Thank you? Okay, Hi, Yeah, running back, I have horrible

1538
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 1: running back, so free Peyton barberis p p r ze,

1539
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:34,040
Speaker 1: you got that going for you. I hate I hate

1540
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 1: Barbara's matchup this week, and if it's PPR, I don't

1541
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:38,080
Speaker 1: see a lot of passes from Barbara, so I can

1542
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:41,720
Speaker 1: go Dion Lewis all right, Thank you, Cindy. Laura, I

1543
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 1: think you're the last of the people that have been

1544
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 1: holding over an hour. I appreciate it. Thank you, Laura.

1545
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 1: Or Kenny Michelle car Center Michelle both guys banged up

1546
01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 1: and both coming in as as questionable, but I think

1547
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:02,679
Speaker 1: they both play here. I like I like Sony Michelle

1548
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 1: a lot in this matchup, and I feel better about

1549
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 1: his injury actually than I do with Chris Carson, who's

1550
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 1: really a game time decision. So I think I'm gonna

1551
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:15,559
Speaker 1: take Sony, Michelle, Emily and Jacksonville. Hello, Hi, calling about

1552
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: a flex player. I'm at a two point PPR LEA

1553
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 1: Davante Booker or Chris Godwin is a really rough violence

1554
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 1: for me. Two that's wild. Chris Godwin is not a

1555
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,800
Speaker 1: volume god here, and Royce Freeman is not going to play.

1556
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:33,719
Speaker 1: This question is not, is it. I think it's trickier

1557
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: than it sounds, and it's on the face I think

1558
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: it is too. But oh man, I think it was

1559
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:44,120
Speaker 1: the volume guy in the red zone with Fitzpatrick. That's

1560
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:46,160
Speaker 1: all I know. So yeah, that's what I'm with you, Scot.

1561
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: Thank you, Emily, appreciate checking in. Donna. Hello, Hi, Hi,

1562
01:23:52,000 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 1: how are you doing big qaundry here between and Cook? Yes? Uh,

1563
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:03,320
Speaker 1: Gore was might take a chance I mean running back,

1564
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 1: and I'm not taking a chance on Dalvin Cook till

1565
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:12,720
Speaker 1: I see him significant snap, so gore from me. All right. Priscilla, Hello, Hi,

1566
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 1: how are we doing today? Thank you? I have a

1567
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:19,240
Speaker 1: question for you. What you want Philip Lindsay, Nick Chubb?

1568
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:24,880
Speaker 1: Or should I sit Coleman and play both of those? Yeah? Start? Yeah,

1569
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 1: you're starting those two. Coman for sure. He's got my

1570
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:30,639
Speaker 1: favorite running backs of the week and Chubb and Lindsay.

1571
01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:33,639
Speaker 1: So yeah, absolutely start those two, Priscilla, And by the way,

1572
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 1: most of the rest of the year, you're going to

1573
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 1: start those two. Thank you for calling in. Jeanie, Hello, Hi,

1574
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:45,320
Speaker 1: I need crow Well or Chubb in a standard league. Okay,

1575
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:48,720
Speaker 1: I'd probably lean Chubb. I think it's a much much

1576
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 1: better matchup. Well, no, well, the matchup for Charls great

1577
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:55,400
Speaker 1: against Miami Uga Kansas City to Chubb doesn't. Chubb doesn't

1578
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:58,720
Speaker 1: split carries with anybody that's part of the beauty. Well,

1579
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 1: it is a good match. They're both they both have

1580
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 1: great matchup. Sue higher over under the tide breaker there,

1581
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:09,360
Speaker 1: so it's chill. Yeah, I'll remind, I'll remind. Listeners and callers, ladies,

1582
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:12,679
Speaker 1: you're up. This is our once a year all female

1583
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:17,720
Speaker 1: callers show six five one nine, five three two six.

1584
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:20,760
Speaker 1: Right now, we have an unprecedented three phone lines available.

1585
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 1: This is your chance, ladies. We'd like to hear from you,

1586
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:28,280
Speaker 1: including Sue Hello, Sue all right, um, half point PPR

1587
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:31,920
Speaker 1: and um. We have Odell Beckham on buy. So we

1588
01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 1: need to choose between Calvin Ridley or Kenny Galladay against

1589
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:38,880
Speaker 1: my bike. It's gotta be Gallady for me, especially with

1590
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:41,559
Speaker 1: the Rhodes news that it sounds like Rhoades is not

1591
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,799
Speaker 1: going to play, which is borderline devastating for the Vikings

1592
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:47,439
Speaker 1: secondary although you know they got away with it last week.

1593
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:51,679
Speaker 1: But the part the Saints are weird in not attacking

1594
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 1: the Vikings corners, it was it was peculiar. Shannon, Hello,

1595
01:25:56,479 --> 01:26:01,360
Speaker 1: Hi Alex Collins or Austin Ekeler. Alex Collins got a

1596
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:03,920
Speaker 1: tough matchup and he comes in pretty seriously hurt. And

1597
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:06,240
Speaker 1: Austin I like Austin Neckler even though it's the backup

1598
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 1: to get to get more done. So there's a chance

1599
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 1: Gordon gets If there's any kind of PPR, it's ekel

1600
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:14,439
Speaker 1: Or either way for sure. Uh, Laura, you are next

1601
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:18,599
Speaker 1: Alex Collins and Marvin Jones Jr. In a PPR league,

1602
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 1: and I'm cheering for the Vikings. Yeah we are, no

1603
01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:23,559
Speaker 1: matter what, cheering for the Vikings. Same bit. I don't

1604
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:25,639
Speaker 1: trust Alex Collins and I don't love him in this match.

1605
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:30,720
Speaker 1: I like Marvin Jones Jr. Okay, yeah, there we go.

1606
01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 1: Thank you, Laura. All right, Rachel, Hello, Hi, Russell Wilson

1607
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:41,479
Speaker 1: or Philip Rivers. Good spot to be in. I'm gonna

1608
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 1: go and play each other. They play each other. I'm

1609
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:46,120
Speaker 1: gonna go Russ though, just lean Russ because hopefully starts

1610
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:48,439
Speaker 1: running more. I think I don't think it's gonna happen

1611
01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:50,880
Speaker 1: if we're half a season in and it's not running.

1612
01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:53,439
Speaker 1: If Carson, I know this is when he starts though

1613
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:58,040
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know. I gotta lean Russ. Okay, you

1614
01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:00,680
Speaker 1: can't really go wrong with either one. Really, I've got

1615
01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:03,960
Speaker 1: them ranked eight and nine, so I have him literally

1616
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:08,800
Speaker 1: right next to each other. Uh. Lee, Hello, it's made

1620
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:26,719
Speaker 1: If if Dalvin Cook is ruled out, then I would

1621
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:32,800
Speaker 1: take Latavius, but I think I think Cook's gonna played six.

1622
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 1: You were supposed to help me with. Okay, here's the thing. Lead.
