00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation,

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show.

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: Now here's your host, Paul. Welcome to a super Bowl

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul charge In,

7
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: flying so low today because there's only one game to

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: break down and I think I can handle it. It's

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, of course, And you know, like our

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: other playoff episodes, if you heard the previous several months

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: or so, really focusing on a DFS orientation for these games.

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: I'm still giving letter grades to every meaningful player, but

13
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: it's within the spectrum of DFS, so it depends a

14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: lot on their cost. And a player who's normally just

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: a rock solid A like Patrick Mahomes may not be

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: an A because of his salary. So you know, we'll

17
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: talk that through for each of the salient guys on

18
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. Now you already know these

19
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: teams met in week number twelve. We knew that game

20
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: was a possible playoff or Super Bowl preview and can't

21
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: stitt end up winning what was ultimately close game. But

22
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,919
Speaker 1: you'll remember they they staked out a huge lead early

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: when Tyreek Hill went berserk at the beginning of the game,

24
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: and um, and then the Bucks with Tom Brady came

25
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: back to make it a lot closer at the end.

26
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: Let's start on the Buccaneers side, and I want to

27
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: start with the running game and just talk broadly about

28
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: that for a minute. It was a total non factor

29
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: in the earlier meeting because again Tyreek Hill went crazy

30
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: at the beginning and then really the running game not

31
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,639
Speaker 1: even a factor. Um. But what I want to stress

32
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: you more is, going back to week eight, can City

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: has been a pretty good run defense, not shutdown. Tampa

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: has a shutdown run defense, which we'll talk about in

35
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: a minute, but it's been good since week So that's now, um,

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: I believe thirteen games ago. I mean, through thirteen games,

37
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: it's pretty big sample size. At that point, only one

38
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: back is top seventy two yards on the ground against

39
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City. They're giving up a modest four point two

40
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: yards per carry, and maybe most importantly, teams are only

41
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: averaging nineteen rushes per game against Kansas City. Since we

42
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: eate that is the lowest in the league, so you

43
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: just don't get volume with any of the running backs

44
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: that face Tampa. I'm sorry that face the Chiefs, and

45
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: it's usually because teams are fallen behind, and that could

46
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: happen here as well. Um and so I think there's

47
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: a really strong angle that just says, you know what.

48
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: I think you may just want to avoid the Buccaneers

49
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: running backs. Ronald Jones clocks into thirty three hundred, however,

50
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: which is very affordable. You know. He he hit Kansas

51
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: City for seven yards per carry in the earlier match up.

52
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: It was only nine carries, so it wasn't a big

53
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: sample size. Like I said, they didn't run much, but

54
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: still seven yards per carry on nine carries pretty good.

55
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: The Browns ran for five yards per carry against the

56
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 1: Chiefs in the playoff game, but again, overall, the run

57
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: defense is pretty good. I like Ronald Jones at thirty

58
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: three hundred a lot more than a Leonard four net

59
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: at eleven thousand dollars. He's a draft Kings numbers eleven thousand,

60
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: So you gotta pay three times as much for Leonard Fournette. Now,

61
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: I know Fournett is coming off the better game, but

62
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: if you've watched a moment of Buccaneers football this year,

63
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: you know how inscrutable that backfield is. And just because

64
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: four net got more work the past couple of weeks,

65
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: and especially while Ronald Jones was getting healthy, doesn't mean

66
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: that he's gonna get more work here. So I prefer

67
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones. I've gotta be grade on Jones. I've got

68
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: a C grade on Leonard four net and and really

69
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: hoping that I think he just catches more passes. Um.

70
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't know that Fournette gets much done here, and

71
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: he didn't do anything in the previous matchup. In the

72
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: Week twelve matchup, he had just three carries for ten

73
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: yards and three catches for ten yards. So if you're

74
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: gonna have this really difficult to decipher backfield, I don't

75
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: want the guy that costs three times as much Leonard front.

76
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: I will take Ronald Jones. All right, let's go to

77
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: the passing game. Tom Brady clocks in at fifteen thousand dollars.

78
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: These are you know, these are not the normal DFS prices.

79
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: It's because uh, and I should mention this at the outside,

80
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: I guess. But you know, if you care enough about

81
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 1: the draft Kings angle on it. Then you probably already

82
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: know it's all flex players, and as all flex players,

83
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: all the all of the dollars changed pretty dramatically here.

84
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: So Brady comes in a fifteen thousand. He threw four

85
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: five yards and three touchdowns in the earlier matchup. Again,

86
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: lots of volume in that one, playing from behind um

87
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns for Tom Brady in ten straight games coming

88
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: into this one, and the Chiefs have allowed multiple passing

89
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: touchdowns in nine of the last ten games. So you know,

90
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: the part of like about take Brady is you don't

91
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: have to guess which one of his many receiving targets

92
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: is gonna get paid. If you've got Brady, you know

93
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: you know what you're gonna get. You know, you get

94
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: all the passing touchdowns. You don't have to guess if

95
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a an Tonio Brown game, Scotty

96
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: Miller game, a Tyler Johnson game, and Chris Godwin game,

97
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: a Rob Gronkowski game. You know you camera braid. You

98
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: don't have sat any of that stuff. And that's really

99
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: appealing for me as I try to decipher this, and

100
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason why I would take Tom

101
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: Brady I've got to be grade at him on him

102
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: for fifteen thousand dollars um. I the receiver I liked

103
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: the best at his price point is Chris Godwind two

104
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: hundred dollars earlier. In the earlier matchup, he led all

105
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: of the Bucks receivers and targets and receptions. He runs

106
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: primarily from the slot, as you probably already know, um,

107
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: although we have seen him run a bit more outside

108
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: when Antonio Brown got hurt. But Brown is expected to

109
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: play from the slot. He'll face off against talented rookie

110
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: Legarious Sneak. Sneeth has been good, but you could reasonably

111
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: ask is this moment too big for a rookie from

112
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: Louisiana Tech who has played ten NFL games? It could be.

113
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: Will they test him early? They might? I would. I

114
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: would test la Legarius Snead and find out just how

115
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: ready he is to go. And I like Chris Godwin

116
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: in this game, and that's why he comes in with

117
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: a B grade. I like Mike Evans as well. Twelve thousand,

118
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: six dollars. He had two scores in the earlier matchup.

119
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: He's the NFL's most targeted player inside the ten yard

120
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: line now Evans runs from all over the field, but

121
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: most often he runs on the left side row matchup

122
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 1: with Bushad Breeland, against whom he has a six inch

123
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: and thirty five pound size advantage. Freeland got beat for

124
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: a touchdown in the week twelve matchup, I'll mention that.

125
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: And for Evans, his three playoff games, he had a

126
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: ten target one nineteen yard a game, then he had

127
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: a touchdown, then he had a touchdown. UM should be

128
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: fully healed at this point with the with the extra

129
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: week off, I like Evans as well also be great

130
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: for Evans. So Evans and Godwin, to me, both guys

131
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: that I think are do make some sense. Although again

132
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: I think Brady is the safer place. You don't have

133
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: to guess which receiving option is going to be the

134
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: hot hand. So that brings us to Antonio Brown is

135
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: the next wide receiver to talk about. He's I think

136
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 1: that's too much money for a guy, although he practiced

137
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: in full on Friday. And there's a contrarian angle here

138
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: where people just aren't gonna, aren't gonna want to risk

139
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown because he's got the the knee injury. UM,

140
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: but we don't know what is snaptown is gonna look

141
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: like there's always the risk of aggravation on the injury.

142
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: So that's a Bucks is a lot for an injured player,

143
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: and I think the only way you take Antonio Brown

144
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: is if you want to go contrarian. The other receivers

145
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: are are pretty interesting in that Tyler Johnson's only eight

146
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: hundred bucks ian practically free spot. He only had nineteen

147
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: snaps last week with Antonio Brown out. UM whether or

148
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: not they would put a rookie receiver in the Super

149
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: Bowl in a position to have to make a big play,

150
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, and that's a that's a fair question. Um.

151
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: He plays on the outside, and he's got neutral, relatively

152
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: neutral matchups on the outside, probably slightly negative matchups actually

153
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: UM against Brenland Award on the outside for Tyler Johnson

154
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: und Bucks though, is is pretty compelling. One of the

155
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: cheapest plausible players you could put into a draft Kings lineup.

156
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: Then the last receiver, Scottie Miller coming in Bucks. I

157
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: liked him a lot more when Antonio Brown was looked

158
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: like he was gonna be out, But it looks like

159
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: Brown's gonna be in. He played UM quite a bit

160
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: last week. With Brown out. Now your angle on Miller

161
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: is basically this, He's super fast and the outside cornerbacks

162
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: Bland Award are slower on the slower side. There four

163
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: six guys for five guys, and so that means that

164
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: Miller's got a chance to break a long one. And

165
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: if you're in a bigger contest, maybe that's an angle

166
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: that you could you could try to work in for

167
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: for Addie, Miller average sixteen yards per reception, so you know,

168
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: if you just get maybe three receptions out of him,

169
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: you know you're you're sitting at a pretty decent game

170
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: right there, and maybe he breaks a long one. So

171
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: that's your home run play, I think, is Scottie Miller.

172
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to the uh. The Tampa Bay tight ends

173
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: Cameron brad missed Friday's practice with a back injury. It

174
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: looks like he's gonna be a game time decision. Back

175
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: injuries are are tricky, They aggravate easily. He had six

176
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: targets in the earlier matchup Um, and his usage has

177
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: consistently gone up lately while Grons has basically been going down.

178
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: But the injury and sharing with Gronk makes this a

179
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: risky play at seventy. Still, you know he's been fantasy

180
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: viable here for three fans for all three of the

181
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: Bucks playoff games. So there's a little something that you

182
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: could get done with Cameron Braid here Bucks high risk.

183
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people will be really worried.

184
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: Would it be because you don't miss a Friday practice?

185
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: Um with It's usually it's a bad sign, needless to say.

186
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: Then let's talk about Gronkowski. So if Braid is out,

187
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: Gronkos Gronkowski Bucks gets really interesting. In the earlier matchup,

188
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: he led all Tampa Bay receivers. The earlier matchup with

189
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs week twelve, he led all Tampa Bay receivers

190
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: and yards um. He had six catches for a hundreds

191
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: six yards. But since then his average game is three

192
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: catches for twenty three yards. But again, if Braid's out,

193
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: I think people are gonna pile on Rob Gronkowski. You

194
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: might want to to at only hundred bucks. All right,

195
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break when we come back, let's

196
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: break down the Kansas City side of the matchup. Welcome

197
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: back Paul Jarchie in with you flying solo today breaking

198
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: down the Super Bowl from a fantasy perspective, and specifically

199
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: for DFS play and Draft Kings in particular, That's where

200
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: I'd like to play. I think myself and many of

201
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: the people listening are d k n G owners, So

202
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: you know, we want to support the company we own

203
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: a little, a little tiny piece of why not. So

204
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: let's go to the Kansas City side. I want to

205
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: start with the running game again here like we did

206
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: on the Tampa side, because I feel strongly that you

207
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: want to avoid all of the Kansas City runners. Levy

208
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: on Bell maybe hobbling back is not even not even

209
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: remotely in this conversation. Uh, let's go to Darryl Williams.

210
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 1: A lot of people really making a big mistake here.

211
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: I believe seventy hundred dollars way too high. Clyde Edwards

212
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: A Layer is fully healthy, practicing full and remember when

213
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: he's healthy, the other runners get ghosted in this offense.

214
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: The average game in the month before his injury, Clyde

215
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: Edwards A Layer was averaging fourteen carries for fifty four

216
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: rushing yards for Darryl Williams. The month of games before

217
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards a Layer's injury, he averaged two carries for

218
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: ten yards, so we want know part of him, Clyde

219
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: Edwards Layer healthy. I think that moves Terrell Williams the bench,

220
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: and I think your only prospects are a potential one

221
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 1: yard touchdown plunge for Darryll Williams. That's it, And I

222
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: don't think you want to play those odds. So he's

223
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: at totally out. I mean, for me, Clyde Edwards Layer

224
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: at ten five hundred, I'm not I'm not a fan

225
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: at that price. I've only got a C grade on

226
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: him at that price because I think it's just I

227
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: think it's too expensive. Let's go to the Let's go

228
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: to the passing Gable'll start with Patrick Mahomes, most expensive

229
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: player on the entire docket at eighteen hundred dollars, sorry,

230
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand dollars. Went berserk in the Week twelve matchup

231
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: with four hundred sixty two yards and three touchdowns. He

232
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: threw the ball forty nine times, and we are going

233
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: to get a ton of volume in this game. Um

234
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: Tampa is the number of leagus. Number one run defense

235
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: by well three different ways, Number one in rushing yards allowed,

236
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: Number two yards per carry, and number three in rushing

237
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: plays scene No team. No team gets run out less

238
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: than Tampa, So you know it's gonna be a ton

239
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: of passing for Patrick Mahomes. Foot is fully healed, so

240
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: that's some good news for him there. Volume is gonna

241
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: be really high. But the really big question here, how

242
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: is this gonna work without his two tackles. This is

243
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: a huge question mark and one that could absolutely decide

244
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: the outcome of this game. Uh, Mike Gremers is a

245
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: massive liability. He's gonna be playing the wrong side of

246
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: the field from where he normally plays. He shouldn't be

247
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: on the field in my opinion, but he's gonna go

248
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: from right to left side. Then they're gonna have a

249
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: guard turned tackle, and Andrew Wiley was gonna have to

250
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: play the other side he doesn't normally. They got we got,

251
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: We got both of the edges manned by guys who

252
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: don't play there. It's a huge concern and should be.

253
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: And I think it's going to mean that we're gonna

254
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: see I'll get We're gonna see Patrick Mahomes get the

255
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: ball out a lot faster. We're gonna see fewer darned

256
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: downfield passes. I think that's going to affect Tyreek Hill

257
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: in particular. Although getting the ball quickly to Tyree Hill

258
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: is always a good idea too, um, but where he's

259
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: so lethal has been the deep downfield stuff. I don't

260
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: know that he's gonna have time against the awesome pass

261
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: rush that Tampa Bay can present against those backup tackles. Now.

262
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: Also of notice, you're thinking about the Kansas City passing game.

263
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: Tampa's two starting safeties, Antoine Winfield Jr. And Jordan Whitehead,

264
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: both look like they're going to play, but neither one is,

265
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: and so when Mahomes can get time to go deep,

266
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: those safeties may not be in position to make the plays.

267
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: So that's that's another consideration that you'll want to have

268
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: in with your Patrick mahomesh decision. At eighteen thousand dollars,

269
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: and I've got to be grade on him. Let's go

270
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: over to the wide receivers. Tyreek Hill is fifteen thousand,

271
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: six hundred bucks. He had the explosive game in the

272
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: first match up with two hundred sixty nine yards and

273
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. He was targeted fifteen times and he caught

274
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: thirteen of them, which is staggering. Hill run sixty of

275
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: his place from the slot where he will face Sean

276
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: Murphy Bunting, by far the weakest Lincoln on tampas quarterbacks cornerbacks.

277
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: I know that he's got the interceptions in this playoff run,

278
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: but just as a coverage corner, he's not that good.

279
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: He allowed the second most touchdowns of all cornerbacks during

280
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: the regular season. He gave up eighty one yards in

281
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: his coverage last week against Green Bay, and in the

282
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: first meeting Sean Murphy Bunting allowed one hundred thirty one

283
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: of Hills two hundred sixty yards, so roughly half of

284
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: all of hills yards came against John Murphy Bunting by himself.

285
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: He also gave up two of hills three touchdowns. So

286
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: I like Hill. I've got an eight grade. I actually

287
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: like him more than I like Mahomes at their relative prices.

288
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: Let's migrate over to Sammy Watkins sixty dollars. Um, I've

289
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: got a integrate on him. I know he practiced him

290
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: full on Friday, and he likely plays, but calf injuries

291
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: are tricky. They're known for aggravation. He might be on

292
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: a snap count and he did nothing in the first

293
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: meeting with Tampa. He primarily plays on the outside, he'll

294
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: see Jamal Deane and Carlton Davis. Those are both competent quarterbacks.

295
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: Watching Watkins match up his neutral six hundred bucks, I

296
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: think I'd rather spend the money elsewhere, But if you

297
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: want him at that price, I guess you could. And

298
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: I thought about making him a see just for the

299
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: contrarian angle, but I don't like my contrarian angles to

300
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: be guys that are injured if I can avoid it,

301
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: so I've I've got a bench grade on Sammy Watkins

302
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: at sixty three hundred bucks. The other receivers, let's go

303
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: to me. Cole Hardman, eight four hundred dollars seems like

304
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: a lot for a guy who usually touches the ball

305
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: to three maybe four times. Last week was his lowest

306
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: snapcount since Thanksgiving. And you know the deal on Hardman.

307
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: You're just hoping that lightning strikes, maybe you get a

308
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: fluke return touchdown or something. When Hardman comes on the field,

309
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: he faces uh depth cornerback Ross Cockrell. He forces excuse me,

310
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: depth cornerback Ross Cockrell to play a second slot corner um.

311
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: It's not terrible, but by the standards of journeyman backup

312
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: quarterback cornerbacks is okay, and that's potentially a spot where

313
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: Hardman could beat cock Rolls. So yeah, though, just it

314
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: feels like too much money for a guy who's gonna

315
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: only have the ball in his hands, you know, in

316
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: most games, like two, three, or four times. So I've

317
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: only got to see grade on Hartman. Um. Let's go

318
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: a little deeper into the depth chart. DeMarcus Robinson Bucks

319
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: is basically free. He was removed from the COVID list

320
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: on Friday. He went untargeted in the kind in the

321
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: previous game, the Conference championship game total dart throw. But

322
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: at twenty one bucks, that's actually pretty compelling, and so

323
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: is Byron Pringle. And by the way, I've got a

324
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: C grade in DeMarcus Robinson. I've gotta see great on

325
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: Byron Pringle, and I like Pringle better. He's only twenty

326
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: seven dollars, so he's almost free to get this the

327
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs receiver who played the most snaps last week, Byron Pringle,

328
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: who had the most snaps in week seventeen, Byron Pringle,

329
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: who did Tyreek Hill go to bat four? In In

330
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: with the media during Super Bowl week, Byron Pringle says

331
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: he's got to get on the field more often. If

332
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: Watkins doesn't play fully, if d Watsons doesn't play at all,

333
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: I really like Pringle. If Watkins is only going to

334
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: be on a snap count or whatever, and you're not

335
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna know going in, Pringles a fascinating play um, So

336
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: I'd give it. I'd give him some thought at bucks

337
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: a C grade on Pringle, and I'll actually like him

338
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: better than DeMarcus Robinson. He's been way more active than

339
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: Robinson has. So then we get to Travis Kelsey. As

340
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: we migrate over to the tight ends, I've got some

341
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: concern here. First, let me I mention he was targeted

342
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: eight times in the earlier meeting. He caught all eight

343
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: of his passes, but he did not score. Tampa has

344
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: struggled against tight ends throughout the second half of the season,

345
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: including Robert Tonyan's touchdown last week and Logan Thomas's big

346
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: game in that wild card round. But here's the question

347
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: on Kelsey that I don't think enough people are talking about.

348
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: Is he gonna have to stay back and block to

349
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: help out Ramors and Wiley, you know, those backup tackles.

350
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: I think I'm really nervous that Kelsey is gonna have

351
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: to do a lot of blocking in this game, a lot.

352
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm I am more nervous about Kelsey

353
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: in this game than almost any other game with Kelsey.

354
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: Normally you just put him in and forget about him.

355
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: Sixteen thousand five dollars a lot for a guy who's

356
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: gonna end up blocking. Now. You know, obviously Kelsey's an

357
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: elite player at his position, and he in just real

358
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: life fantasy, not putting a DFS price on it anything else.

359
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: He's he's usually a sure thing. But boy, sixteen thousand

360
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: five dollars for a guy who's gonna block a lot

361
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: is really touchy. I've gotta be grade on Travis Kelsey, Um,

362
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's going to have the explosive

363
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: style games that he has had so far in the playoffs.

364
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, you twenty minute long breakdown

365
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,320
