WEBVTT - The Super Bowl, Fantasy Style

0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.

0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation,

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show.

0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Now here's your host, Paul. Welcome to a super Bowl

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:29.200
<v Speaker 1>edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul charge In,

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>flying so low today because there's only one game to

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 1>break down and I think I can handle it. It's

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl, of course, And you know, like our

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>other playoff episodes, if you heard the previous several months

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 1>or so, really focusing on a DFS orientation for these games.

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:51.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm still giving letter grades to every meaningful player, but

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>it's within the spectrum of DFS, so it depends a

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 1>lot on their cost. And a player who's normally just

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 1>a rock solid A like Patrick Mahomes may not be

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>an A because of his salary. So you know, we'll

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>talk that through for each of the salient guys on

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 1>both sides of the ball. Now you already know these

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>teams met in week number twelve. We knew that game

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>was a possible playoff or Super Bowl preview and can't

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>stitt end up winning what was ultimately close game. But

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.919
<v Speaker 1>you'll remember they they staked out a huge lead early

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>when Tyreek Hill went berserk at the beginning of the game,

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>and um, and then the Bucks with Tom Brady came

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.399
<v Speaker 1>back to make it a lot closer at the end.

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's start on the Buccaneers side, and I want to

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 1>start with the running game and just talk broadly about

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>that for a minute. It was a total non factor

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>in the earlier meeting because again Tyreek Hill went crazy

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.479
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning and then really the running game not

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.639
<v Speaker 1>even a factor. Um. But what I want to stress

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you more is, going back to week eight, can City

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>has been a pretty good run defense, not shutdown. Tampa

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>has a shutdown run defense, which we'll talk about in

0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>a minute, but it's been good since week So that's now, um,

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I believe thirteen games ago. I mean, through thirteen games,

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty big sample size. At that point, only one

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>back is top seventy two yards on the ground against

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City. They're giving up a modest four point two

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>yards per carry, and maybe most importantly, teams are only

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>averaging nineteen rushes per game against Kansas City. Since we

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 1>eate that is the lowest in the league, so you

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.919
<v Speaker 1>just don't get volume with any of the running backs

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>that face Tampa. I'm sorry that face the Chiefs, and

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>it's usually because teams are fallen behind, and that could

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>happen here as well. Um and so I think there's

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>a really strong angle that just says, you know what.

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I think you may just want to avoid the Buccaneers

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:53.639
<v Speaker 1>running backs. Ronald Jones clocks into thirty three hundred, however,

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.519
<v Speaker 1>which is very affordable. You know. He he hit Kansas

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>City for seven yards per carry in the earlier match up.

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>It was only nine carries, so it wasn't a big

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>sample size. Like I said, they didn't run much, but

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 1>still seven yards per carry on nine carries pretty good.

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>The Browns ran for five yards per carry against the

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.839
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs in the playoff game, but again, overall, the run

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>defense is pretty good. I like Ronald Jones at thirty

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.600
<v Speaker 1>three hundred a lot more than a Leonard four net

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>at eleven thousand dollars. He's a draft Kings numbers eleven thousand,

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 1>So you gotta pay three times as much for Leonard Fournette. Now,

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I know Fournett is coming off the better game, but

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.239
<v Speaker 1>if you've watched a moment of Buccaneers football this year,

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>you know how inscrutable that backfield is. And just because

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>four net got more work the past couple of weeks,

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and especially while Ronald Jones was getting healthy, doesn't mean

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>that he's gonna get more work here. So I prefer

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Ronald Jones. I've gotta be grade on Jones. I've got

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>a C grade on Leonard four net and and really

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>hoping that I think he just catches more passes. Um.

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that Fournette gets much done here, and

0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>he didn't do anything in the previous matchup. In the

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Week twelve matchup, he had just three carries for ten

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>yards and three catches for ten yards. So if you're

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna have this really difficult to decipher backfield, I don't

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>want the guy that costs three times as much Leonard front.

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 1>I will take Ronald Jones. All right, let's go to

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the passing game. Tom Brady clocks in at fifteen thousand dollars.

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>These are you know, these are not the normal DFS prices.

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 1>It's because uh, and I should mention this at the outside,

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.479
<v Speaker 1>I guess. But you know, if you care enough about

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.239
<v Speaker 1>the draft Kings angle on it. Then you probably already

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.600
<v Speaker 1>know it's all flex players, and as all flex players,

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>all the all of the dollars changed pretty dramatically here.

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.039
<v Speaker 1>So Brady comes in a fifteen thousand. He threw four

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>five yards and three touchdowns in the earlier matchup. Again,

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 1>lots of volume in that one, playing from behind um

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:52.280
<v Speaker 1>multiple touchdowns for Tom Brady in ten straight games coming

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 1>into this one, and the Chiefs have allowed multiple passing

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:58.839
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in nine of the last ten games. So you know,

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>the part of like about take Brady is you don't

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:05.039
<v Speaker 1>have to guess which one of his many receiving targets

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.720
<v Speaker 1>is gonna get paid. If you've got Brady, you know

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>you know what you're gonna get. You know, you get

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>all the passing touchdowns. You don't have to guess if

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna be a an Tonio Brown game, Scotty

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Miller game, a Tyler Johnson game, and Chris Godwin game,

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 1>a Rob Gronkowski game. You know you camera braid. You

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>don't have sat any of that stuff. And that's really

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 1>appealing for me as I try to decipher this, and

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>that's part of the reason why I would take Tom

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Brady I've got to be grade at him on him

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 1>for fifteen thousand dollars um. I the receiver I liked

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.720
<v Speaker 1>the best at his price point is Chris Godwind two

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars earlier. In the earlier matchup, he led all

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>of the Bucks receivers and targets and receptions. He runs

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>primarily from the slot, as you probably already know, um,

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>although we have seen him run a bit more outside

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>when Antonio Brown got hurt. But Brown is expected to

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 1>play from the slot. He'll face off against talented rookie

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Legarious Sneak. Sneeth has been good, but you could reasonably

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 1>ask is this moment too big for a rookie from

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 1>Louisiana Tech who has played ten NFL games? It could be.

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Will they test him early? They might? I would. I

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>would test la Legarius Snead and find out just how

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.839
<v Speaker 1>ready he is to go. And I like Chris Godwin

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 1>in this game, and that's why he comes in with

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:29.040
<v Speaker 1>a B grade. I like Mike Evans as well. Twelve thousand,

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 1>six dollars. He had two scores in the earlier matchup.

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 1>He's the NFL's most targeted player inside the ten yard

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>line now Evans runs from all over the field, but

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 1>most often he runs on the left side row matchup

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.559
<v Speaker 1>with Bushad Breeland, against whom he has a six inch

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 1>and thirty five pound size advantage. Freeland got beat for

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.720
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown in the week twelve matchup, I'll mention that.

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 1>And for Evans, his three playoff games, he had a

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.040
<v Speaker 1>ten target one nineteen yard a game, then he had

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.479
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown, then he had a touchdown. UM should be

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.600
<v Speaker 1>fully healed at this point with the with the extra

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>week off, I like Evans as well also be great

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>for Evans. So Evans and Godwin, to me, both guys

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 1>that I think are do make some sense. Although again

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I think Brady is the safer place. You don't have

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 1>to guess which receiving option is going to be the

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>hot hand. So that brings us to Antonio Brown is

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>the next wide receiver to talk about. He's I think

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.239
<v Speaker 1>that's too much money for a guy, although he practiced

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 1>in full on Friday. And there's a contrarian angle here

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 1>where people just aren't gonna, aren't gonna want to risk

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Antonio Brown because he's got the the knee injury. UM,

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>but we don't know what is snaptown is gonna look

0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 1>like there's always the risk of aggravation on the injury.

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>So that's a Bucks is a lot for an injured player,

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>and I think the only way you take Antonio Brown

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>is if you want to go contrarian. The other receivers

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 1>are are pretty interesting in that Tyler Johnson's only eight

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks ian practically free spot. He only had nineteen

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>snaps last week with Antonio Brown out. UM whether or

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>not they would put a rookie receiver in the Super

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Bowl in a position to have to make a big play,

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure, and that's a that's a fair question. Um.

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 1>He plays on the outside, and he's got neutral, relatively

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 1>neutral matchups on the outside, probably slightly negative matchups actually

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>UM against Brenland Award on the outside for Tyler Johnson

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 1>und Bucks though, is is pretty compelling. One of the

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>cheapest plausible players you could put into a draft Kings lineup.

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Then the last receiver, Scottie Miller coming in Bucks. I

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>liked him a lot more when Antonio Brown was looked

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:33.200
<v Speaker 1>like he was gonna be out, But it looks like

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.319
<v Speaker 1>Brown's gonna be in. He played UM quite a bit

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.520
<v Speaker 1>last week. With Brown out. Now your angle on Miller

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>is basically this, He's super fast and the outside cornerbacks

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Bland Award are slower on the slower side. There four

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 1>six guys for five guys, and so that means that

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Miller's got a chance to break a long one. And

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.319
<v Speaker 1>if you're in a bigger contest, maybe that's an angle

0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>that you could you could try to work in for

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:04.440
<v Speaker 1>for Addie, Miller average sixteen yards per reception, so you know,

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 1>if you just get maybe three receptions out of him,

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.199
<v Speaker 1>you know you're you're sitting at a pretty decent game

0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:11.679
<v Speaker 1>right there, and maybe he breaks a long one. So

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 1>that's your home run play, I think, is Scottie Miller.

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the uh. The Tampa Bay tight ends

0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Cameron brad missed Friday's practice with a back injury. It

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>looks like he's gonna be a game time decision. Back

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 1>injuries are are tricky, They aggravate easily. He had six

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:32.439
<v Speaker 1>targets in the earlier matchup Um, and his usage has

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>consistently gone up lately while Grons has basically been going down.

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 1>But the injury and sharing with Gronk makes this a

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>risky play at seventy. Still, you know he's been fantasy

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 1>viable here for three fans for all three of the

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Bucks playoff games. So there's a little something that you

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 1>could get done with Cameron Braid here Bucks high risk.

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of people will be really worried.

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Would it be because you don't miss a Friday practice?

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Um with It's usually it's a bad sign, needless to say.

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Then let's talk about Gronkowski. So if Braid is out,

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:14.199
<v Speaker 1>Gronkos Gronkowski Bucks gets really interesting. In the earlier matchup,

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.160
<v Speaker 1>he led all Tampa Bay receivers. The earlier matchup with

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs week twelve, he led all Tampa Bay receivers

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 1>and yards um. He had six catches for a hundreds

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 1>six yards. But since then his average game is three

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 1>catches for twenty three yards. But again, if Braid's out,

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I think people are gonna pile on Rob Gronkowski. You

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 1>might want to to at only hundred bucks. All right,

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 1>let's take a quick break when we come back, let's

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 1>break down the Kansas City side of the matchup. Welcome

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 1>back Paul Jarchie in with you flying solo today breaking

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 1>down the Super Bowl from a fantasy perspective, and specifically

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 1>for DFS play and Draft Kings in particular, That's where

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to play. I think myself and many of

0:10:55.840 --> 0:11:00.839
<v Speaker 1>the people listening are d k n G owners, So

0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, we want to support the company we own

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 1>a little, a little tiny piece of why not. So

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:07.559
<v Speaker 1>let's go to the Kansas City side. I want to

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 1>start with the running game again here like we did

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 1>on the Tampa side, because I feel strongly that you

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.320
<v Speaker 1>want to avoid all of the Kansas City runners. Levy

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 1>on Bell maybe hobbling back is not even not even

0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 1>remotely in this conversation. Uh, let's go to Darryl Williams.

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:26.439
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people really making a big mistake here.

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I believe seventy hundred dollars way too high. Clyde Edwards

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>A Layer is fully healthy, practicing full and remember when

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 1>he's healthy, the other runners get ghosted in this offense.

0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 1>The average game in the month before his injury, Clyde

0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Edwards A Layer was averaging fourteen carries for fifty four

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 1>rushing yards for Darryl Williams. The month of games before

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Clyde Edwards a Layer's injury, he averaged two carries for

0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>ten yards, so we want know part of him, Clyde

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Edwards Layer healthy. I think that moves Terrell Williams the bench,

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and I think your only prospects are a potential one

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.599
<v Speaker 1>yard touchdown plunge for Darryll Williams. That's it, And I

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>don't think you want to play those odds. So he's

0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.240
<v Speaker 1>at totally out. I mean, for me, Clyde Edwards Layer

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 1>at ten five hundred, I'm not I'm not a fan

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>at that price. I've only got a C grade on

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.839
<v Speaker 1>him at that price because I think it's just I

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>think it's too expensive. Let's go to the Let's go

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>to the passing Gable'll start with Patrick Mahomes, most expensive

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:38.520
<v Speaker 1>player on the entire docket at eighteen hundred dollars, sorry,

0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:42.680
<v Speaker 1>eighteen thousand dollars. Went berserk in the Week twelve matchup

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 1>with four hundred sixty two yards and three touchdowns. He

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>threw the ball forty nine times, and we are going

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 1>to get a ton of volume in this game. Um

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Tampa is the number of leagus. Number one run defense

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>by well three different ways, Number one in rushing yards allowed,

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Number two yards per carry, and number three in rushing

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 1>plays scene No team. No team gets run out less

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>than Tampa, So you know it's gonna be a ton

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 1>of passing for Patrick Mahomes. Foot is fully healed, so

0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 1>that's some good news for him there. Volume is gonna

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>be really high. But the really big question here, how

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:23.640
<v Speaker 1>is this gonna work without his two tackles. This is

0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 1>a huge question mark and one that could absolutely decide

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 1>the outcome of this game. Uh, Mike Gremers is a

0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 1>massive liability. He's gonna be playing the wrong side of

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.200
<v Speaker 1>the field from where he normally plays. He shouldn't be

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 1>on the field in my opinion, but he's gonna go

0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.520
<v Speaker 1>from right to left side. Then they're gonna have a

0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.679
<v Speaker 1>guard turned tackle, and Andrew Wiley was gonna have to

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.320
<v Speaker 1>play the other side he doesn't normally. They got we got,

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 1>We got both of the edges manned by guys who

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 1>don't play there. It's a huge concern and should be.

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.440
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's going to mean that we're gonna

0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.200
<v Speaker 1>see I'll get We're gonna see Patrick Mahomes get the

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.560
<v Speaker 1>ball out a lot faster. We're gonna see fewer darned

0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 1>downfield passes. I think that's going to affect Tyreek Hill

0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.080
<v Speaker 1>in particular. Although getting the ball quickly to Tyree Hill

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 1>is always a good idea too, um, but where he's

0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.720
<v Speaker 1>so lethal has been the deep downfield stuff. I don't

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:16.840
<v Speaker 1>know that he's gonna have time against the awesome pass

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>rush that Tampa Bay can present against those backup tackles. Now.

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Also of notice, you're thinking about the Kansas City passing game.

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Tampa's two starting safeties, Antoine Winfield Jr. And Jordan Whitehead,

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>both look like they're going to play, but neither one is,

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 1>and so when Mahomes can get time to go deep,

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 1>those safeties may not be in position to make the plays.

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's another consideration that you'll want to have

0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 1>in with your Patrick mahomesh decision. At eighteen thousand dollars,

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.280
<v Speaker 1>and I've got to be grade on him. Let's go

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 1>over to the wide receivers. Tyreek Hill is fifteen thousand,

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>six hundred bucks. He had the explosive game in the

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.440
<v Speaker 1>first match up with two hundred sixty nine yards and

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 1>three touchdowns. He was targeted fifteen times and he caught

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:10.120
<v Speaker 1>thirteen of them, which is staggering. Hill run sixty of

0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 1>his place from the slot where he will face Sean

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Murphy Bunting, by far the weakest Lincoln on tampas quarterbacks cornerbacks.

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I know that he's got the interceptions in this playoff run,

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.920
<v Speaker 1>but just as a coverage corner, he's not that good.

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 1>He allowed the second most touchdowns of all cornerbacks during

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the regular season. He gave up eighty one yards in

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>his coverage last week against Green Bay, and in the

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 1>first meeting Sean Murphy Bunting allowed one hundred thirty one

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.080
<v Speaker 1>of Hills two hundred sixty yards, so roughly half of

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 1>all of hills yards came against John Murphy Bunting by himself.

0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.680
<v Speaker 1>He also gave up two of hills three touchdowns. So

0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I like Hill. I've got an eight grade. I actually

0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:53.960
<v Speaker 1>like him more than I like Mahomes at their relative prices.

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's migrate over to Sammy Watkins sixty dollars. Um, I've

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:01.480
<v Speaker 1>got a integrate on him. I know he practiced him

0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 1>full on Friday, and he likely plays, but calf injuries

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.760
<v Speaker 1>are tricky. They're known for aggravation. He might be on

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 1>a snap count and he did nothing in the first

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.240
<v Speaker 1>meeting with Tampa. He primarily plays on the outside, he'll

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.800
<v Speaker 1>see Jamal Deane and Carlton Davis. Those are both competent quarterbacks.

0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Watching Watkins match up his neutral six hundred bucks, I

0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.360
<v Speaker 1>think I'd rather spend the money elsewhere, But if you

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 1>want him at that price, I guess you could. And

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought about making him a see just for the

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 1>contrarian angle, but I don't like my contrarian angles to

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:30.520
<v Speaker 1>be guys that are injured if I can avoid it,

0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 1>so I've I've got a bench grade on Sammy Watkins

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 1>at sixty three hundred bucks. The other receivers, let's go

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 1>to me. Cole Hardman, eight four hundred dollars seems like

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot for a guy who usually touches the ball

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 1>to three maybe four times. Last week was his lowest

0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:52.360
<v Speaker 1>snapcount since Thanksgiving. And you know the deal on Hardman.

0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 1>You're just hoping that lightning strikes, maybe you get a

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 1>fluke return touchdown or something. When Hardman comes on the field,

0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 1>he faces uh depth cornerback Ross Cockrell. He forces excuse me,

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:10.159
<v Speaker 1>depth cornerback Ross Cockrell to play a second slot corner um.

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 1>It's not terrible, but by the standards of journeyman backup

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:18.120
<v Speaker 1>quarterback cornerbacks is okay, and that's potentially a spot where

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Hardman could beat cock Rolls. So yeah, though, just it

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.400
<v Speaker 1>feels like too much money for a guy who's gonna

0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 1>only have the ball in his hands, you know, in

0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:27.920
<v Speaker 1>most games, like two, three, or four times. So I've

0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.320
<v Speaker 1>only got to see grade on Hartman. Um. Let's go

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:35.720
<v Speaker 1>a little deeper into the depth chart. DeMarcus Robinson Bucks

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 1>is basically free. He was removed from the COVID list

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 1>on Friday. He went untargeted in the kind in the

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 1>previous game, the Conference championship game total dart throw. But

0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:48.920
<v Speaker 1>at twenty one bucks, that's actually pretty compelling, and so

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:50.720
<v Speaker 1>is Byron Pringle. And by the way, I've got a

0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:52.680
<v Speaker 1>C grade in DeMarcus Robinson. I've gotta see great on

0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Byron Pringle, and I like Pringle better. He's only twenty

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:59.879
<v Speaker 1>seven dollars, so he's almost free to get this the

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs receiver who played the most snaps last week, Byron Pringle,

0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.919
<v Speaker 1>who had the most snaps in week seventeen, Byron Pringle,

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 1>who did Tyreek Hill go to bat four? In In

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:16.680
<v Speaker 1>with the media during Super Bowl week, Byron Pringle says

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:19.600
<v Speaker 1>he's got to get on the field more often. If

0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Watkins doesn't play fully, if d Watsons doesn't play at all,

0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.639
<v Speaker 1>I really like Pringle. If Watkins is only going to

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:28.240
<v Speaker 1>be on a snap count or whatever, and you're not

0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:32.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna know going in, Pringles a fascinating play um, So

0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I'd give it. I'd give him some thought at bucks

0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:37.359
<v Speaker 1>a C grade on Pringle, and I'll actually like him

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>better than DeMarcus Robinson. He's been way more active than

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Robinson has. So then we get to Travis Kelsey. As

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:48.439
<v Speaker 1>we migrate over to the tight ends, I've got some

0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:50.600
<v Speaker 1>concern here. First, let me I mention he was targeted

0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:52.680
<v Speaker 1>eight times in the earlier meeting. He caught all eight

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 1>of his passes, but he did not score. Tampa has

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:59.560
<v Speaker 1>struggled against tight ends throughout the second half of the season,

0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:04.920
<v Speaker 1>including Robert Tonyan's touchdown last week and Logan Thomas's big

0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:08.240
<v Speaker 1>game in that wild card round. But here's the question

0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.240
<v Speaker 1>on Kelsey that I don't think enough people are talking about.

0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Is he gonna have to stay back and block to

0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:17.920
<v Speaker 1>help out Ramors and Wiley, you know, those backup tackles.

0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm really nervous that Kelsey is gonna have

0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:23.280
<v Speaker 1>to do a lot of blocking in this game, a lot.

0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:27.399
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I'm I am more nervous about Kelsey

0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.000
<v Speaker 1>in this game than almost any other game with Kelsey.

0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Normally you just put him in and forget about him.

0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Sixteen thousand five dollars a lot for a guy who's

0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:37.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna end up blocking. Now. You know, obviously Kelsey's an

0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:40.480
<v Speaker 1>elite player at his position, and he in just real

0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:43.760
<v Speaker 1>life fantasy, not putting a DFS price on it anything else.

0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:48.399
<v Speaker 1>He's he's usually a sure thing. But boy, sixteen thousand

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 1>five dollars for a guy who's gonna block a lot

0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:54.840
<v Speaker 1>is really touchy. I've gotta be grade on Travis Kelsey, Um,

0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think he's going to have the explosive

0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:01.480
<v Speaker 1>style games that he has had so far in the playoffs.

0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:06.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, there you go, you twenty minute long breakdown

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 1>of one game. Normally in Fantasy Football Weekly we do

0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:16.600
