Here's your host, Welcome to Fantasy 5 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: Football Weekly. It is week number three. We are here 6 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: to help you notch a victory. I am Paul Chargy 7 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: and my co host Sayer, Brian Johnson, and Matt Harrison. 8 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: Hello guys, Hello governor. That's what I was gonna say. 9 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: Over the course of the show, we will give you 10 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: nine players upon whom you can take a chance. We'll 11 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: answer three tough questions and give you three players that 12 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: we believe you should speculate on prematurely this week that 13 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: everybody else will be trying to pick up next week. 14 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: Tell you who they are. Near the end of the show, 15 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: will break down every match up fantasy style with letter 16 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: grades on every meaningful player. And we begin with the 17 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals taking on the Philadelphia Eagles. Last time we 18 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: saw Cincinnati, Joe Burrow was throwing his arm out of 19 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: socket practically and with repetitions. Joe Mixon wasn't doing a lot. 20 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: What do you think of the key players for the Bengals. 21 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: Matt Yeah, I'll start with Mixing. Remember last year he 22 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: had an incredibly slow start to Uh. He only scored 23 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: one time through Week six of last season, but it 24 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: was Week three of the year last year where he 25 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: had his little peak of his early season slump. This 26 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: year has been odd because he's had twenty one and 27 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: twenty touches in his first tame plenty to work with. 28 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: It's just he's come up a little empty handed. Uh. 29 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: The Philly matchup looked tough last year, but through two weeks, 30 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: the Eagles have allowed forty more yards per game to 31 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: opposing runners, as well as three touchdowns in the first 32 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: two weeks to opposing running backs. So I'm giving Mixing 33 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: a C. It's probably you know, uh high see like 34 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: an Ecto cooler. I think that it sounds like he's 35 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: a B. He's getting plenty of work and there's a 36 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: bad defense. You know, if there was something between a 37 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: B and A see, definitely give him one Ecto Cooler. Yeah. 38 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, he gets a B grade. Burrow has kept 39 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: things conservative and his first two starts, but he's been successful. 40 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: He's averaging only eight and a half yards per completion, 41 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: but he's completing his passes. It's very good for us 42 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: to start rookie similar to fellow first overall picked Jared Goff. 43 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: That's how Jared Goff plays, by the way, Jared Goff 44 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: had two sixty seven and three against this defense last week. 45 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: So Burrow is a solid be uh. Tyler Boyd. I'm 46 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: giving a B grade to A. J. Green gets a C. 47 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: Green has had twenty two targets to Boyd's thirteen, but 48 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: Green's then basically nothing, averaging four catches and forty yards 49 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: per game. Well, Boyd is securing five and a half 50 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: catches for fifty three yards. Boyd and Green this week 51 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: said that he still doesn't feel like he really knows 52 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: the playbook and feels in sync with this offense. That's why, 53 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: you know, I understand he missed last year, but that 54 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: was last year. You had all off season everything else. Yeah, 55 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: I didn't like hearing that from A. J. Green. He's 56 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: averaging eleven targets per game, though, so you kind of 57 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: have to leave him in lineups even though it's not 58 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: going well because he's gonna catch more of those. Eventually, 59 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: it's going to happen. So Boyd has a better matchup 60 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: this week, as Cooper Cup and Steven Sims total one 61 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: thirty one from the slot. Well, Terry McLaurin and Robert 62 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: Woods only managed seventy five from the perimeter. So I 63 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: like Boyd better. We're not going as far as Mike 64 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: Thomas or Drew sample. Uh c j Uzoma on I 65 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: r with a torn achilles May he rest in peace? 66 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: Uh Miles Sanders on the other side, he gets an 67 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: A grade while Boston Scott is on the bench. I 68 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: like Scott more if he wasn't so past dependent. Chargers 69 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: backs combined for twenty four yards and a score on 70 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: the ground. Brown's backs to ten and three on the ground, 71 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: but both teams only five receptions in twenty seven yards total, 72 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: so Boston Scott's out Sanders had twenty of the twenty 73 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: four rushing attempts last week too. Carson Wentz he gets 74 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: a C grade. Everyone was all excited about Baker last Thursday. 75 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: He only put up to nineteen and two against the Bengals, 76 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: but he did look good because it's the Bengals terrible 77 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: pass rush. They gave him all the time in the world. 78 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: The Bengals only have two sacks on the season so far, 79 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: and I'd like to see when's kind of get it going. 80 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: But the running matchups just so juicy, and he's got 81 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: injuries all up and down the wide receiver corps. Jalen 82 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: Reagor probably not gonna go with a thumb injury. He 83 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: is he on I are now that's new to me. 84 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: Al Sean questionable with the foot. He might come back, 85 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: but they're both on your bench. And Deshaun Jackson, he's 86 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: only a C grade. He's averaging eight targets per game 87 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: but has done barely anything and the only only one 88 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: wide receivers hit the eight yard mark against the Bengals 89 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: in their last six games. But Zach Ertz and Dallas 90 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: Goddard are the guys you want to play. I'm giving 91 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: arts An and got heart be there's still the best 92 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: receivers on the roster. Goddard has seven teen targets on 93 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: the season, Urtsys has seven in each game. Hunter Henry 94 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: had five catches for seventy three in the first week 95 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: against this defense, which is fine. That wasn't a particularly 96 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: little tough match up against the tight end either. They're 97 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: gonna be just fine in this game. Yeah, I think so. Too. 98 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: They're effectively the Philadelphia tight ends are basically wide receiver. 99 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: Wanted wide receiver too. Absolutely, let's go to Houston taking 100 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: on Pittsburgh gets the third in three straight brutal matchups 101 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: for your Texans. And if there's ever a time you're 102 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: going to buy low on Texans, this is it heading 103 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: into Pittsburgh when the owners have got nothing out of 104 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: their Texans and they're looking at Pittsburgh going I can't 105 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: even start my Texans right now. What tysans are there 106 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: there that you want to buy low on? But basically 107 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: all of them because you'll pay pennies on the dollar 108 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: for Deshaun Watson, Fuller Johnson, because because right now now, 109 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: if you wait a week, the new the owner is 110 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: gonna look at the schedule, which turns very soft and 111 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: out and go, well, you know, I've waited out these 112 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: three impossible weeks. This is the time to strike, I believe, 113 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: before Sunday's games. Anyway, With that free amble, I just 114 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: just killed all of your time to talk about the 115 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: Houston Texans foibles against the Putils pretty much. But yeah, 116 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: let's pretend the owner just looks at Sunday's box scores 117 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: and not the forthcoming schedule, and then you can really 118 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: buy low on your Texans because it's a brutal matchup 119 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: for basically everyone. Will start with DeShawn Watson, who is 120 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: the most pressured quarterback in the NFL, and these Steelers 121 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: lead the league and pressure rate and are the most 122 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: splits happy team out there. So I quite frankly fear 123 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: for Deshaun Watson. And when I envisioned, like you know, 124 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: when Sonic the Hedgehog would get hit and all his 125 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: rings would fly out, that's all the money DeShawn Watson 126 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: is to me. He's gonna fly out his pockets. That'd 127 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: be pretty cool. So over to his pass catchers, it 128 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: doesn't get much better. I'm gonna give Will Fuller a 129 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: c desplite zero targets last week, squad dooche, but he 130 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: was hurt then in his healthy now the story the 131 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: song remains the same for wolf Fuller here. Um, it's 132 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: a brutal matchup, though, despite the fact that Darius Slayton 133 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: roasted the Pittsburgh secondary for one oh two and two 134 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: touchdowns in Week one, only one wide receiver top the 135 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: hundred yards and scored multiple touchdowns against the Steelers. All 136 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: of last season and they weren't even the same person. 137 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: It was Tyler Boyd with the yards and Philip Door 138 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: set of all people in week one with two touchdowns 139 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: before the acquired makeup Fitzpatrick. So just to see for Fuller, 140 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: and I got Brandon Cooks on the bench despite the 141 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: upticking targets last week because Fuller saw zero. I'm just 142 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: not going to Brandon Cooks either. It's it's a brutal 143 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: matchup and the tight ends. I was tempted to start one, 144 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: but I got them both on the bench despite the 145 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: fact Darren Fell Darren Fell scored last week, Jordan Aikins 146 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: had seven catches. Jon Nakins is emerging. Yeah, but the 147 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: tight end usage is very intriguing in Houston. If one 148 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: of these guys goes down, we might have a top 149 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: twelve tight end on our hands. But they're both on 150 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: the bench this week. And I should say, Brandon cook 151 00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: so put them in your line up for next week 152 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: when they got the Vikings. But Benson this week and 153 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: um David Johnson also gets to see The Steelers have 154 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: allowed just ninety seven rushing yards on thirty eight carries 155 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: so far the season. That's two point six yards per carry. 156 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: We all watch Sa Kwon get shut down in Week one, 157 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: but Philip Lindsay managed ninety four combo yards and a 158 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: touchdown catching garbage time last week. Johnson has that potential 159 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: as well, so he gets a sea over to Pittsburgh. 160 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: James Conner gets the A, even though I'm worried about 161 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: him finishing the game. The bell cow was back for now. 162 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: He also gets right guard David de Castro back who 163 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: missed the first two games this year. Houston allowing six 164 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: point four yards per carries to imposing back, So an 165 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: easy A for James Conner and an easy A for 166 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: Deonta Johnson. I'm talking about him first before Juju Man, 167 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: Well you should, yeah. Thirty two point three percent of 168 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's targets in Week one, thirty one point seven in 169 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: week to the third highest target share percentage in the NFL. 170 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: Baltimore wide receivers were quiet against Houston last week, but 171 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: that was dictated by game script. Both Sammy Watkins and 172 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: Tyree Hill caught a touchdown in Week one against Houston. 173 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: So I love Deonta Johnson and I love the Juju 174 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: in Week one gave him an a pacock no time 175 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: for that, I know, but I'm gonna gieve him a 176 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: be this week. He will play with the knee injury. 177 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: His target share is south at which is troubling, but 178 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 1: the explosion is clearly back. Two touchdowns in week one, 179 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: seven catches last week. You cannot sit him right now, 180 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: especially against the Texans. You can sit James Washington, though, 181 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: got him on the bench. Game script for reads me here, 182 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: but I would still roster him, hold on to him 183 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: in the most of leagues Eric he run on the bench, 184 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: target totals of two and five so far this season. 185 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews was quiet against Houston last week, so he 186 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: run on the bench. And lastly, Big Ben gets a b. 187 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: He looks really good. That arm strength is only gonna 188 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: get better following Tommy john surgery. Again, I'm just worried 189 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: about the game script here. It could be a Connor day. 190 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: But Patrick Mahomes had three passing touchdowns only two hundred 191 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: eleven yards, and Lamar Jackson didn't blow up the box 192 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: score either against Houston. That's a little troubling. You can't 193 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: convince me Houston is suddenly a great second Oh no, 194 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: it's not just well, Ben Ben. I think he's capped 195 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: at thirty thirty pass attempts. That's my only concern here. 196 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: He still gets a very solid B no plus though. 197 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: Charge At some point we'll we'll talk more about Deonte Johnson, 198 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: but I think he is a top ten Fantasy wide 199 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: receiver overall. Washington takes on Cleveland in our final matchup 200 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: of this segment, and for Washington, there's just a couple 201 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: of guys you want to talk about. But I want 202 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: to start with Logan Thomas, who I love this week, 203 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: and I've got to be grade on Loto Loto one 204 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: of the one of the many quarterback turned tight ends 205 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: in history. Like, um, all right, well, I guess nobody's 206 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: ever a quarterback turned tight end. The Browns are the opponent. 207 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: They've already allowed three tight end touchdown Marquis Gray quarterback. 208 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: Oh well, there he turned tight end and like that, 209 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: Like how that turned out? Browns have allowed the second 210 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: most receptions and six most yards to tight ends. And 211 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: get this, Thomas on the field for percent of Washington 212 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: plays last week, only Darren Waller and Travis Kelsey have 213 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: seen more targets than Logan Thomas. In a juicy man 214 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: jump B grade, staying with the passing attack Terry McLaurin. 215 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: Through two weeks, he's accounted for forty six percent of 216 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: Washington's passing yards just for him, Barry mclard. This week 217 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: he faces a battered Brown secondary that's going to be 218 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,479 Speaker 1: without Greedy Williams. They've allowed the eighth most yards to receivers. 219 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: Uh and that was despite facing you know, the Bengals 220 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: with Rickie, Joe Burrow and a run centric Ravens team. 221 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: So we'll we'll start Verry Terry McLaurin with a B 222 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: grade and then the only other player I want to 223 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: talk about for Washington is they're starting running back in 224 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson. He experienced a huge uptick in usage last 225 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: week and hopefully that continues here. The Browns are allowing 226 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: the third fewest rushing yards on a smothering two point 227 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: nine yards per carry. Who are these Browns? If mark 228 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: Ingram and Joe Mixon can't top forty six rushing yards 229 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: or score, then I can't give a starting grade to 230 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson. This week, j K. Dobbins had a good 231 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: game against them, and I believe Jio. Look, okay, just stoke. 232 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: Maybe it's the second running back and that may pay. 233 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 1: I hope not. I hope not. Let's go to the 234 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: Cleveland side. We'll start with a running game. Nick Chubb 235 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: gets a B. No team has allowed fewer Fantasy points 236 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: to running backs and Washington's there's a little danger here. 237 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: No runners scored and they held Kenyan Drake and Check 238 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: last week. Still Washington's just the middle of the pack 239 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: run defense, their middle of the packing yards per carry. 240 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: Chubb continues to get all the money carries near the stripes, 241 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: so we'll give him the B. Kareem Hunt gets just 242 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: to see only had a twelve touches and twenty snaps 243 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: last week, but still turn it into a good game. 244 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: But you worry if that's all the touches he's gonna get, 245 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to keep scoring two touchdowns a game. 246 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: Last year, Washington was terrible stopping runners through the air. 247 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: This year they've looked better, but I doubt they've transformed 248 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: doing a shutdown unit against guys at Kareem Hunts skill level. 249 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: So he's still startable with a CE gright. Let's go 250 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: to the passing game. Baker Mayfield looked incredibly poised and 251 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 1: comfortable last time. We saw him to thursdays ago. I 252 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: think it continues here if Cleveland's overall overhauled offensive line 253 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: is truly improved, because they're going up against this terrific 254 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: Washington front four, a group that Profobot focuses ranks as 255 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: the fifth best pass rush. Remember, they got four first 256 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: round picks on Washington's defensive front line. The Washington secondary 257 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: looks improved, but the personnelity personal really isn't improved. I 258 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: just think they're they look improved because the pass rush 259 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: has been good. I think if Baker's line can just 260 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,719 Speaker 1: hold up, I think he'll do okay here. I've got 261 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: a C grade on Baker Mayfield, a B grade for 262 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham. Against Washington, no receiver's topped sixty eight yards, 263 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: but already five receivers have topped fifty yards, so I'd 264 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: see an okay game coming for Odell Beckham. Jarvis Landry 265 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: playing hurt. He's scored one time in his last seven games, 266 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: and he's um he's been. He goes up against the 267 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: slot cornerback Jimmy Moreland, who struggled and last week alone 268 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: gave up ten catches for a hundred six yards. So 269 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: Jarvis land remained startable with a C grade. We've dropped 270 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: off Austin Hooper out of our rosters entirely. We're not 271 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: going to spend time on him. When we come back, 272 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: take a chance on me. Nine players upon whom you 273 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: can take a chance. These are guys not normally in 274 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: your starting line up. Many of these are available on 275 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: the waiver wire, and man, do we need receivers this week. 276 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: So many guys are out. We'll tell you who you 277 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: can count on to pick up off the waiver wire 278 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: and plug into your starting lineup. When we return to 279 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, getting you 280 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: ready for Sunday's action. There is a segment week call 281 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: take a chance on me. We give you nine players 282 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: upon whom you can take a chance. These are players 283 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: not normally in your starting lineup, but they can be. 284 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: This week. We beginning at the quarterback position and Brian Johnson, 285 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: I have Philip Rivers at home against the Yets, and 286 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: this is quite simply a professional quarterback against the worst 287 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: team in professional football, the Jets. Second. Yeah, yeah, the 288 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: verdicts still out there, but I'm still giving Jets the 289 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: edge here. The Jets secondary has gone way South since 290 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: jettisoning JOm All Adams. They're awful ran pass coverage by 291 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: a pro football focus, and they have surrendered two passing 292 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: scores in each game so far. That feels like a 293 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: pretty safe floor for Philip rivers and this one. So 294 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: why not? All these kids will be cheering for this 295 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: big game. Okay, Matt, you'll take a chance at the 296 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: quarterback Nick Mullins of the San Francisco forty Niners spent 297 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: a while since we've seen him, Oh the Mulligan. Uh. 298 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: He started eight games for the Niners and twousand eighteen 299 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: he averaged two four passing yards per game, and those 300 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: eight contests and through for multiple scores and four of eight. 301 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: Nick Mullins is a good quarterback, and he gets Kyle 302 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: Shanahan as his offensive coordinator and head coach who gets 303 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: to scheme for him for a week. He's facing off 304 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: against the lowly Giants as well. The Giants have allowed 305 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: over two yards or multiple touchdown passes to six of 306 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: the last seven quarterbacks they've faced, and they've already allowed 307 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: five touchdown passes this season. Nick Mullins, go get him 308 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: all right, I'm I'm with you on that and it's 309 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: got to be a fantastic DFS. He is DraftKings the 310 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: cheapest starting quarterback this week. There you go, my quarterback, 311 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: There we go. It's Happy Trombone Ski. I am surely 312 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: jaxing the hell out of Happy Trombone Ski with his 313 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: third straight starting grade and second appearance in this segment. 314 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: But I'm doing it anyway because the matchup is so tantalizing. 315 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,360 Speaker 1: The Falcons have been blasted for almost eight hundred passing 316 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: yards and another fifty rushing yards by quarterbacks so far, 317 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 1: and that includes eight touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks and three 318 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: of them on the ground to Dak Prescott. And you 319 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: know what, Happy Trombone Sky fleet of a rushing touchdown 320 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 1: possibility here too. He's got great matchups, including Allen Robinson 321 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: he can throw out of the backfield against a team 322 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: that always struggles against running backs as receivers. By the way, 323 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 1: every Falcons game this year, if you add up all 324 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: the passing yards from Matt Ryan and opposing quarterbacks, it 325 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: might be the most passing yards in history in games. 326 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: In games, it's gonna be eight hundred yards of game 327 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,479 Speaker 1: like almost every game I I contest. Just let the 328 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: Falcons score three touchdowns if you're the opposing head coach, 329 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: and then you're gonna you're gonna put up even more 330 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: points against him if you super weak on side kick 331 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: at them. This reminds me of the old Layola Marre 332 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: Amount basketball All team Hank gathers Um that would say 333 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: we would let them score so we could get the 334 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: ball back. But I'm down for it. Let's go to 335 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: the running back position, Brian. They say it's your birthday, 336 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: Dion Lewis, baby at home against the forty Niners. Birthday 337 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: thirty Burger on the way. Yeah, I know. They just 338 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,239 Speaker 1: signed DeVante Freeman, and the narrative all summer was like, 339 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: when is Deonta gonna choose someone to sign with. I'm 340 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: pretty sure no one wanted to sign Deonta DeVante Freeman. No, 341 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: because he looked cooked as all hell last year. There's 342 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: no way it comes in after five days and leads 343 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: his team in touches. So I'm going the way of 344 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: Dion Lewis against the forty Niners, who are basically missing 345 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,479 Speaker 1: everyone on defense right now, and the Jets running backs 346 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: are awful who they faced the forty Niners last year, 347 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: but they combined for twenty eight touches. Fifteen is a 348 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: lock for Lewis, who will get most of the work 349 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: in the passing games. Chase Edmonds caught a touchdown against 350 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: San fran And week one, So Dion Lewis is playable, 351 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: all right. I'm staying with the Niners and I'm going 352 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: with Jet McKinnon. Mullins favorite target could very well be McKinnon. Uh. 353 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,479 Speaker 1: The Niners have had a league high thirty seven percent 354 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: of their targets go to running back so far this year, 355 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: and McKinnon takes over for an injured raheem most dirt 356 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: and even and even more injured Tevin Coleman, and he's 357 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: been electric in his first two games, accounting for scores 358 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: in each week, including a long touchdown run last week. 359 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: Plus last week, the Bears backs totaled seven catches for 360 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: seventy yards and a score through the air against the Giants. 361 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: It's gonna be Mullins to McKinnon all day long. Yeah. 362 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 1: And if McKinnon's gone in your league, and he's gone 363 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: in many, Jeff Wilson is a good start as well. 364 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that in the match up. They 365 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: always roll in that second running back at San France. 366 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,719 Speaker 1: Second running backs always relevant and he'll get the goal 367 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: line work. My take a chance of your running back 368 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: is Josh Kelly of the Chargers going up against Carolina, 369 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: ostensibly the backup, but it's really more of a one 370 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: two punch there, and both guys will have a great opportunity. 371 00:19:54,920 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 1: Kelly and Austin Ekeler as well. The Panthers historic bad 372 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: run defense. They now have allowed running back touchdowns in 373 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: fourteen straight games, and over those fourteen straight games, they're 374 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: averaging two and a half running back touchdowns per game. 375 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: So both of them get paid here. Kelly's actually getting 376 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: more looks inside the ten yard line than Austin Ekeler, 377 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: So I feel like a touchdown here is all but 378 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: inevitable for Josh Kelly. Let's go to the receivers, Brian 379 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: who you got Cool Beasley at home against the Rams 380 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: who are definitely going to bring bring the pressure in 381 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: the toughest matchup for the Bills, who look great. Uh, 382 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,479 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a game where Beasley season at 383 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: least eight targets easily. He has back to back double 384 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: digit PPR games to start the season. The Rams have 385 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: allowed the eighth most catches to wide receivers. Jalen Ramsey 386 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: will certainly be locked on Stefon Diggs and Beasley's matchup 387 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: with Troy Hill is plus. Till has allowed catch rate 388 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: in his coverage so far this season. Okay, Matt, go 389 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: to t J. Hockenson of the Lions. He's the only 390 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 1: Detroit tight end with a target this year and he's 391 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: come up with five fifty six and one in Week one, 392 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: four for sixty two you in Week two. Good numbers. 393 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: That's a that's a lack of shab right there in 394 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: those numbers. Uh. And he gets the Cardinals and while 395 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: they haven't allowed a touchdown to a tight end yet 396 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 1: this year, they're do And it was Hockinson who started 397 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: that party in Week one when he had six catches 398 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: for a hundred and thirty one yards and a score 399 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: in the meeting in the Desert. Last year, they went 400 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: on to give up fifteen more touchdowns the tight ends 401 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: last year. So the Cards are better, but it's not 402 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: night and day. T J. Hockenson's a sure start this week. 403 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: I've got Adam Humphreys going up to Minnesota where he 404 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: will perform well. He's been targeted six and seven times 405 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: in the two games, including a touchdown reception. Last week, 406 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: he goes up against an injury battered secondary without its 407 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: starting slock cornerback Mike Hughes, and we don't even know 408 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: who the replacement is for Hughes because the depth chart 409 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: is so wobbly in the Vikings secondary. It could be 410 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 1: rookie Harrison Hand, who has never played a snap in 411 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: the NFL. Hey, I'm Humphrey. We're gonna give him the 412 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: Matt Harrison hand right there. Yeah, Harrison hand. Yeah nice, 413 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. Let's let's go to 414 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: one more matchup, maybe even two. Las Vegas takes on 415 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots and Matt. For a while there 416 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: looked like Josh Jacobs might not go, but he's going 417 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: to go in this game. How do you feel about 418 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: the running game against New England? Well, he is probably 419 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: bruised up a little bit because he leads the league 420 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: in touches through the first two weeks with fifty nine. 421 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: It's a lot, that's a ton. Luckily, Jacobs is also 422 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: second on the team and targets because the Patriots are 423 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: still a tough run customer, allowing only three point nine 424 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: yards per carry and four rushing touchdowns over their last 425 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: twenty three games. But Chris Carson was able to score 426 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: through the air last week on the Patriots, and Jacob's 427 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: usage is great there, so uh, he's a b start. 428 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: I am putting Derek Carr on the bench. Twelve of 429 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,479 Speaker 1: the last fourteen quarterbacks to face the Patriots have been 430 00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: held under three yards. That list includes Patrick Mahomes, Josh 431 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: Allen twice, Dak Prescott, Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson. Derek Carr 432 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: is none of those guys. Car has h only topped 433 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: three yards once in his last twenty one games. By 434 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: the way, he's not He's not that good, even though 435 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: he looked great on Monday night. Brian Edwards still questionable. 436 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs is out, but they're all on your bench, 437 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: so is Hunter Renfro. Four different Seattle wide receivers scored 438 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: last week, but that was Russell Wilson at the Helm. 439 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: Car is a bit closer to stew Beard than Wilson, 440 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: and frankly, he's not even close to stew Beard. The 441 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: Miami wide receivers were all held under fifty yards and 442 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: none scored in the first week. I think that that's 443 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: what's on the docket for the Raiders. Wide receivers Darren Waller, 444 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: he gets a B grade, also missed some time in 445 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: practice this week, but was a full participant on Friday. 446 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: Four yard games in his last seven games played, including 447 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: sixteen targets and twelve receptions last week. Waller has more 448 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: targets this season than Henry Ruggs, Hunter, Renfro, Brian Edwards, 449 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: Nelson Aghilar, Jason Witten, Foster Moreau, and Za Jones combined, 450 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: basically the whole team. Yes, it's it's crazy. Cam Newton 451 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: on the Patriots side, he gets an A grade. He's 452 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: averaging two rushing touchdowns per game. He's averaging sixty one 453 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: rushing yards per game. No one else on the rosters 454 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 1: averaging thirty rushing yards. He's you're starting running back for 455 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: the Patriots. There's no running back that you're going to play, 456 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: even with James White out this week. Again, outside of 457 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, and Alvin Kamara, no running back 458 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: has topped fifty three yards against the Raiders since Week 459 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: ten of last year. The wide receivers Julian Edelman and 460 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: nikkil Harry. I'm giving them both a B even though 461 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: they're both Patriots questionable. Edelman has been Cam's guy so far, 462 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: so let's talk about Harry and his matchup. Boundary receivers 463 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: have torched the Raiders so far, with Robbie Anderson going 464 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: for a hundred and fifteen yards in a score. Tray 465 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: Kwon Smith even had five catches for eight six yards. 466 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: Nice called by Scott Fish by the way, last week. 467 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: Harry is at twenty nine percent of the Pats targets 468 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: so far this year. That's enough to keep him in play. 469 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: And there is no tight end that you want to 470 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: play on the Patriots. No, there is not. That's it. 471 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: That is it. Let's try to work in one more 472 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: matchup into this segment, but it's it's got to be 473 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: fast Rams taking on Buffalo. Brian sorry with the Rams 474 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: running backs, by the way, the most rush attempts at NFC, 475 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams had right now, But it's Sarell 476 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: Henderson the only one you want to start. He led 477 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: the way last week, the only running back targeted Buffalo. 478 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: Not a great matchup al though the they've allowed four 479 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: yards per carry thus far, But it was the Dolphins 480 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: and Jets running backs. Not much to write home about there, 481 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: so I'm giving Henderson to see. Tyler he could be. 482 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: Higby gets to see as well, dominating the Snaps a 483 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: tight end, playing over eighty percent of them. The Bills 484 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: just gave up a monster game to Mikeasicki, but they 485 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: were without linebackers Matt Mlano and Tremaine Edmonds. If they returned, 486 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: that lessons Higby's prospects a little bit. But Chris Herndon 487 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: had six catches in Week one, so Higbie's got a 488 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: safe floor. He's the top twelve of tight end options. 489 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: He's only a C. Only a C. If the linebackers 490 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 1: come back, I'm gonna get to the quarterback, which I'm 491 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: not sold on. Who's throwing the ball to Higbee and 492 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: his name, well, we'll get to him. Cooper Cup, though, 493 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: gets a blot. Slot receivers, I've had success against Buffalo. 494 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: Jameson Crowder had a hundred and fifteen yards and a touchdown. 495 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: Isaiah Ford even had seven catches for seventy six yards 496 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 1: against the Bills. I like Cup with a B. I 497 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: don't like Robert Woods as much, sadly in a revenge game, 498 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: just to see for Robert Woods likely to see tret 499 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: Davias White on the outside for the most of the 500 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: day and therein lies the rub for Woods. Davante Parker 501 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: did manage five catches for fifty six yards and a 502 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: touchdown against the Bill so Woods is startable, but just 503 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: to see for him, and even though he's off to 504 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: a hot start, it's a dangerous spot for Jared Goff. 505 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: He's on the bench for me. Stu Beard through three 506 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: hundred plus and two touchdowns against Buffalo last week, but 507 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: the Dolphins were in comeback mode and that game was 508 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,479 Speaker 1: in Miami. Going back to the start of last season, 509 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,959 Speaker 1: just one quarterback has thrown for more than one touchdown 510 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: and Buffalo and that was Lamar Jackson. And the Rams 511 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: have only played the JV teams in the nfc E 512 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 1: so far. This is a true test. So Goff is 513 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: on your bench, don't don't be fooled. Josh Allen not 514 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: on your bench though, Just to be though, Wentz was 515 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: blanked from a passing perspective last week by the Rams 516 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: did run into touchdown. Deck was quiet in Week one 517 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: against them as well, But you cannot bench Allen right now. 518 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: Not a lot of tape, of course, but l A 519 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: was flamed by flamed by mobile quarterbacks last season. Russell Wilson, 520 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray all went off against them. Josh 521 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: Allen can certainly do the same. Stefon Diggs talk about 522 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: a hot start just to see for him though, why 523 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. That's about it, and Ramsey will shadow him? 524 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: Oh all day. Marie Cooper did have ten catches and 525 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: Ramsey's coverage in Week one on fourteen targets. So if 526 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: Diggs can get peppered like that, he could produce. I 527 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: wouldn't bend him, but temper your expectations. They're also temperate 528 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,959 Speaker 1: your expectations for John Brown. Just to see Darius Williams 529 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: is no slouch at the other outside corner spot for 530 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: l A. But the Rams have allowed the eighth most 531 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: catches to wide receivers and fellow roadrunner wide receiver to 532 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: Shawn Jackson managed six for sixty six for sixty four 533 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: against l A last year, which should be a safe 534 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: floor for Brown. I like Cole Beasley the most at 535 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: all the receivers, to be honest, that's why he was 536 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: might take a chance on me wide receiver and to 537 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 1: the running backs. Zack Moss is out, Dak Moss is out, 538 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: Killing Singletary is gonna get a lot of work here. Yeah, 539 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: I don't t j Yelden will be in the mix, 540 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: but we're not gonna talk about him. But the Rams 541 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: have allowed a hundred and sixty seven columbo yards per 542 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 1: game to opposing running backs three total touchdowns. So if 543 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: there's ever a time to start Devon Singletary with, it's 544 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,239 Speaker 1: it so b for Singletary. We'll see if they give 545 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: him a red zone carry though I don't know, well 546 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is going to get the better because I 547 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna throw for much. We need him 548 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: to pass no often. We are still creating brand new 549 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: Guillotine leagues at guillotine leagues dot com.

Tennessee takes on Minnesota and the battered Minnesota secondary, 570 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: which may be starting cornerbacks Holton Hill, who ranked Pro 571 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: Football Focus ranks is the one hundred seventh best cornerback 572 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: in the league. Jeff Gladney, who ranks eight six and 573 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: is allowing a passer rating of one forty three, and 574 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: Harrison Hand who has never played an NFL snap. So 575 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: I ask you, co host, who do you suppose is 576 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: the highest scoring tight end in fantasy football? John new Smith? 577 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: Which tight end has scored the most touchdowns? John new Smith? 578 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: Which tight end is the most yards per reception? John 579 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: new Smith? Is there a super peacock sound you can play? 580 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: Which which tight end faces a Vikings defense without its 581 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: strong side linebacker Anthony Barr or Anthony Bar's replacement, Anthony Ferkser. 582 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: John U. Smith? Which team which tight end faces a 583 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: team that just allowed a third string tight end to 584 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: roll up one yards last week? John U? Smith? Yes, 585 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: John Eu with an A grade this week. I didn't 586 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: know we set aside five minutes for the John Smith matchup, 587 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: absolutely because we don't have to talk about Derrick Henry 588 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: was an obvious A against the Vikings run defense that's 589 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: bottom five in every meaningful rushing category. Ryan Tannhill a 590 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: great as well, and the only thing that really hurts 591 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: him here is Derrick Henry, his own teammate. No no 592 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: problem with the Vikings defense here, but Henry might just 593 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: leave not enough on the table for Tannehill. Still a 594 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: grade because if Henry doesn't take it. Tannehill's got the 595 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: same four touchdown upside he had last week, and Corey 596 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: Davis gets an A grade with a j Brown out, 597 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: he'll face a secondary as I mentioned, filled with litterd 598 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: with backups at the cornerback position. He's already uh and 599 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,479 Speaker 1: even when he gets their ostensible well, they've got at 600 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: any rate, Corey Davis sitting out a great game. By 601 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: the way, I don't know, fire up the peacock for 602 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: Corey Davis. One of my summer sleepers said, do not 603 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: give up on Corey Davis. Peacock Roll and Tannehills might 604 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: take a chance to meet quarterback last week, and Adam 605 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: Humphreys might take a chance and for this week, get 606 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: that peacock a lozenge. We're pre cocking for Adam Humphreys. 607 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: Now the Vikings side, there's only two players you care about. 608 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: That's Dalvin Cook, who I feel like this is same 609 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: script for Dalvin Cook as it has been the last 610 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: two weeks, which is the Vikings will be way behind 611 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: throughout much of this game. They're not gonna be able 612 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: to run very much and hopefully Cook just gets enough 613 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: volume to do Okay. I don't think you're gonna get 614 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: gaudy stats because the Vikings just aren't going to be 615 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: able to run enough for him to get there still 616 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: if he can get to like fifteen touches, that probably 617 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: gets him to eighty yards and maybe a touchdown. So 618 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: B grade on Dalvin Cook, C Grade and Adam Thelan. 619 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: You know last week the Cold sent extra coverage to 620 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: Theeling and it worked marvelously, holding him to just thirty 621 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: one yards. You figured the Titans do the same thing here. 622 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: Darn kirk Cousins to go to old A B. C. 623 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: Johnson or Justin Jefferson, something he was unwilling to do 624 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: last week. Theland runs predominantly from the right side of 625 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: the field, or he matches up with ancient cornerback Jonathan Joseph. 626 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: Titans have only allowed one wide receiver touchdown on the year. 627 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: C grade for him. Let's go to San Francisco taking 628 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: on the Giants. Matt, you already talked about a couple 629 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: of Niner players that you like. Yeah, McKinnon was, might 630 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: take a chance to me, Runner mullins was, might take 631 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: a chance on me. Throw our will mention. Jeff Wilson. Uh, 632 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: he's a capable backup. He's been trusted as the goal 633 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: line guy in in in times pasted when Matt Breeder 634 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,800 Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman were out with injury last year. If you're desperate, 635 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 1: he's a S grade. I think he's startle Uh. There's 636 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: no other starter on the Niners except for Jordans Reid, 637 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: who gets a be read scored last week kittles out again. 638 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: The Giants have held Eric Ebron and Jimmy Graham in check, 639 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: but those two teams have healthy wide receivers. Through the 640 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,760 Speaker 1: last five weeks of the Giants gave up five touchdowns 641 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: to the tight end position, and James Bradberry is a 642 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: good corner by the way, He's gonna shadow either Kendrick 643 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: Borne or Brandon a Uk. So there's not enough. There's 644 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: not enough injuries that would make you go all the 645 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: way to them right now. Uh. Dion Lewis was Brian's 646 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: take a chance on me runner. DeVante Freeman's on the bench, 647 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: though after replacing se Quan Is only averaging one point 648 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: eight yards per carry. With this line, what makes you 649 00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: think that three days after being signed, DeVante Freeman, by 650 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: the way, was bad last year, can do better than 651 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: say Kwan Now, Daniel Jones, I'm giving him a C grade. 652 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: Even without Nick Bosa, d Ford and Solomon Thomas on 653 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: the d line, The Niners still have a decent pass rush. 654 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: Kyler and Donald were each held under two fifty passing 655 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: yards and only managed one passing score. Jones will likely 656 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: be forced to throw more, but Sterling Shepherd hits I 657 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: R with a toe injury, leaving Darius Slayton as a 658 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: possible B start, maybe slightly worse than a B. How 659 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,760 Speaker 1: about like a reduced B. Is there like a reduced be? Okay, 660 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,919 Speaker 1: there's a bee. Uh. DeAndre Hopkins did manage a huge 661 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: day against this defense just two weeks ago. Chris Hogan 662 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: put up respectable numbers from the outside as well. All right, 663 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 1: I'll just give him a solid bee for Darius Slayton. Uh, 664 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: And the Niners are still without Richard Sherman. Two. Yeah, 665 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: I are Yeah. So Slayton has nine scores in his 666 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: past ten games as well. Golden Tat's in the slot. 667 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: How about this? In games without Shepherd last year, Golden 668 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 1: Tate averaged six catches for seventy five yards per game. 669 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: Not bad, not bad, And Braxton Barrios had six forty 670 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: nine and one from the slot last week, So that's 671 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: attainable for Tate. He gets to see, I'm only given 672 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram a C grade, though you'd think with se 673 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: Kwan and Shepherd out had like Ingram Moore. But the 674 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: Niners are really good against the tight ends. They've only 675 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: allowed three receptions to the position this year. They held 676 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,439 Speaker 1: Chris Herndon to one catch for five yards last week 677 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 1: in a spot they were behind the whole They were 678 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: behind the whole time. No wide receivers. Oh, it's kind 679 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: of like this week, but you know the Giants have 680 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,760 Speaker 1: a few more receivers. Evan Ingram's only a sea perfect 681 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 1: segue to the Jets taking on Indianapolis? Are there any 682 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,760 Speaker 1: Jets to play here? They're wider, there's no wide receivers 683 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: left standing. Well, it might be Braxton Burriosrouder last week 684 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: ruled out Brashad Perriman not gonna play. They're both on 685 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: the bench. The running backs are on the bench. Of course, 686 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: even if Frank Gore gets twenty one, he's again last week. 687 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: I don't even know. I don't want to even get 688 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: into that. But Braxton Barrios, I'm gonna give a C 689 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: to Keelan Cole and Justin Jefferson both led their team 690 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: and receiving yards against the Colts, and they run primarily 691 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 1: from the slot. The Jets will certainly be forced to 692 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: throw in this one, so Braxton Barrios his PPR garbage 693 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: time savior. Also, he kind of just filled the Jamison 694 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: Crowder rolling Crowder gets all those targets from the slide point. 695 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: All right, I'm listening to that. You told me I'm 696 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: not gonna say start. Chris Hogan, who was the thing 697 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:36,319 Speaker 1: again playing for Game NFC's team, so he's on the bench, 698 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 1: Chris earning him give him a ce. Tight Ends haven't 699 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 1: done much against the Colts, but it was the Jagson Vikings, 700 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: so not much to say. They're free safety and Lee 701 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: Cooker did Terrorist Achilles last week, so that will help 702 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: herned In Adam Gates needs to stop using him as 703 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: a blocker, but I'm gonna get herned in the see here, 704 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: Sam Donald on the bench, I just feel bad for 705 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 1: that guy. Nothing to work with. Poor Sam. Over to 706 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 1: the Colt side, Jonathan Taylor, easy a. I'm giving him 707 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: a Fonzie a instant bell cow status. The Colts are 708 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: huge favorites at home, and the vaulted Jets run defense 709 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: is fading, allowing five point yards per carry so far. 710 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 1: I'm sorry if you've spent a bunch of your fab 711 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: by Naheim Hines. He's on the bench this week, even 712 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: in a in a blowout blowout spot. I don't know. 713 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: I think he's he'll clearly have more work than last week, 714 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,800 Speaker 1: but you can't trust him in seasonal he's like a 715 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,280 Speaker 1: he's a DFS dart throw you. There's no guarantee touches 716 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: for Hines. I don't know if you charge, says behind 717 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: Sea tweaked to him when he got me. I got 718 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: him on the bench though. T Y Hilton, though, I'm 719 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,360 Speaker 1: going back to the well for the third time. He 720 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: gets an a saw lesson of the snaps last week 721 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: that was troubling, but he did drop a long touchdown 722 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: pass which would have surely salvage his stat line. I'm 723 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 1: removing the San Francisco wide receivers from this equation because 724 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: they basically don't exist. But in Week one Buffalo white 725 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 1: Outs total twenty three catches, so there's enough to go 726 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 1: around for t Y Hilton and Michael Pittman. With Paris Hilton, 727 00:38:55,880 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Paris Campbell out. Also out, Paris Hillton would 728 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: be a hell of it number two receiver for the 729 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: Jets if she's available. I don't know if you're out there, Paris, 730 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 1: but Michael Pittman gets a see saw. I saw six 731 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,359 Speaker 1: targets when Paris Campbell went down last week. Should see 732 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,359 Speaker 1: steady work against the Jets would allow the third most 733 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: red zone targets to wide receivers. Pittman has the size 734 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: to thrive in the red zone and the tight ends. 735 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,360 Speaker 1: I was gonna give Moalley Cox to starting grade, but 736 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: it's sounding like Jack Oil's gonna play, so that that's 737 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: uh muddied Waters and Philip Rivers. Might take a chance 738 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 1: of me quarterback against the most garbage team in the NFL, 739 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: unless the Vikings deciety changed that on Sunday. Alright, our 740 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: final matchup of this segment is Chicago taking on Atlanta, 741 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: and hey, that's me happy. Drom bon Ski was might 742 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: take a chance on me where it's happy to have 743 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: me try to take chance quarterback. I love Alan Robinson 744 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: this matchup. This might be his best matchup of the 745 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 1: year as he goes up against the hapless Falcons defense. 746 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: They've allowed the second most yards to receivers, including multiple 747 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: receivers to top ninety yards in both weeks. So then 748 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 1: I must like multiple Bears receivers, so you'll find b 749 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,719 Speaker 1: great on Anthony Miller, who dropped the touchdown last week 750 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: but remained startable in a favorable matchup against slot cornerback 751 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 1: dark keys dennerd Dennard has already allowed fifteen sixteen receptions 752 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: in his coverage. That's the most in the NFL. And 753 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: that's the matchup for Anthony Miller, a fantastic dark horse 754 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: this week. And Darnell Mooney also getting into this act. 755 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 1: Remember last week I told you to put him on 756 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 1: your watch list and he ended up scoring. They we're 757 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 1: putting him in the starting light up of the C 758 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: grade this week against this struggling secondary. Let's go to 759 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: the running backs. David Montgomery B grade here. Falcons have 760 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: allowed the eleventh fewest rushing attempts in seventh fewest rushing 761 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 1: yards UH to opposing running backs. That's pretty impressive. And 762 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,959 Speaker 1: they faced his equality and Chris Carson, who are very good. 763 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: But Montgomery has been very active in the passing game. 764 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: He's actually out targeted Tarik Cohen in both games so far, 765 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 1: and he's holding a touchdown via the air. And the 766 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 1: Falcons are struggling with running back receptions like they do 767 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: every year for the past five years. So I like 768 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: Montgomery as a ground air threat Tariko and gets a 769 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: C grade here for the same reason. Again, even even 770 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: though he's not getting a lot of usage, I do 771 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: like the fact that he will should be involved in 772 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 1: this passing game against a bad falcons Uh defense against 773 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: receiving running backs in case Mattnege comes to his senses 774 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: and decides to throw to Kurt Rio, and I want 775 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 1: to give him the C grade here. Let's go to 776 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,799 Speaker 1: the Atlanta side. Matt Ryan has been fantastic and get 777 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: to the A grade here. And the Chicago secondary sounds intimidating, 778 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 1: but they've got these spots that you can exploit. For example, 779 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: buster screen, their slack cornerback got worked by Danny Danny 780 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: Amndola in the opener, and cornerback Jalen Johnson is making 781 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 1: his third career start and to Shaun Gibson as a journeyman, 782 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: so he's got spots that I think he can work 783 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: with here. Julio Jones not expected to play in this game, 784 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,759 Speaker 1: and that does drop a little bit of my my 785 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: esteem for Ryan, but he's still got so many good 786 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: targets that I think you can still can you to 787 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: play him here? Calvin Ridley with an A grade. He'll 788 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 1: get some extra work when Julio can't go in this game. 789 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,319 Speaker 1: Uh He's posted over one yards and multiple touchdowns in 790 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 1: back to back games, and Hayden Hurst we'll see some 791 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,280 Speaker 1: extra targets as well. The Bears have allowed two solid 792 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 1: games to two solid tight ends t J. Hockenson and 793 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram. Hurst went off last week against Dallas and 794 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 1: is locked in as the focal point a focal point 795 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,280 Speaker 1: of Atlanti's high powered offense, and I think he gets 796 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,800 Speaker 1: a few extra looks in this game. Todd Gurley C grade. 797 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: Gurly only managing three point three yards per carry and 798 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 1: has a whopping one receiving yard. So far, things don't 799 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,879 Speaker 1: get a lot easier against the Bears team that's giving 800 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 1: up the eighth fewest rushing attempts, the tenth fewest rushing 801 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 1: yards per game, and they haven't allowed a running back 802 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 1: to have more than four receptions. So I don't think 803 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 1: Gurley's gonna help you much through the air either. So 804 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,839 Speaker 1: really just the C grade on Gurley, who has been 805 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 1: a disappointment to this point. Guys who've got about one 806 00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:01,720 Speaker 1: minute left. Is James Robbins in and every week starter 807 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 1: going forward? Yeah, I mean we said Chris Thompson was 808 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,839 Speaker 1: gonna steal the third down work wrong. Nope, we said 809 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:14,240 Speaker 1: Jacksonville is not going to run the ball. Yeah, he's 810 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: Jacksonville too far behind in every game to run the ball. Nope, 811 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 1: that hasn't worked out. I think he's an every week starter. 812 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 1: I don't think he's an every week starter. I think 813 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 1: he's a guy that you're gonna wonder about and you're 814 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: gonna have better matchups and play. Uh, they've played some 815 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: pretty easy teams so far this year. So and and 816 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: you gotta remember, right well, Armstead and Divine Ozigbo, we're 817 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 1: both ahead of him on the depth chart until both 818 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,720 Speaker 1: of them hit. I R when those guys come back, 819 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 1: there could be Yeah, there could be a little bit there. 820 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,359 Speaker 1: He's not an every week starter that I see the 821 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 1: next Arian Foster on our hands. Maybe just maybe you 822 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: mean his han he's gonna blow out his hands. Well, 823 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 1: I was saying, it's that what you mean, Jackson's might 824 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 1: have found gold in the in a big pile of 825 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 1: dung man. It's it's it's it's what you called Jacksonville 826 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: as possible, I think, except against the the truly elite defenses. 827 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 1: James Robinson's gonna be a starter every week. Uh, you 828 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 1: know you can be a starter every week if you 829 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,799 Speaker 1: go to Guillotine leagues dot com and check out all 830 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 1: my free player rankings.

We'll be back to play three tough questions 834 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: coming up next. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi 835 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: and Brian Johnson and Matt Harrison with you. This is 836 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,440 Speaker 1: a game we paw call three tough questions. Try to 837 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,959 Speaker 1: go three and oh I'll be peppering my co host 838 00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:02,280 Speaker 1: with three brain busting questions. Begin with tough question number one. 839 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 1: In single quarterback leagues, can you drop Drew Breese outright? Brian? Personally, 840 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,879 Speaker 1: I cannot because I was not drafting him all summer long. 841 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 1: Because I'm reusing notes from this very show when I 842 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 1: said Drew Brees past attempts sorry in have gone down 843 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,640 Speaker 1: from six seventy three to five thirty six to eight 844 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,799 Speaker 1: nine to three seventy eight last year. During that same 845 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,200 Speaker 1: time span, his yard has gone down from d tot 846 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,240 Speaker 1: three to four thousand to under three thousand passing yards 847 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:38,239 Speaker 1: last year. He looks awful already. Taysom Hill probably is 848 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 1: the better quarterback right now, no Michael Thomas for an 849 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,480 Speaker 1: extended period of time, and going into the season. The 850 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 1: Saints have the twenty three hardest schedule when it comes 851 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 1: to quarterbacks, and these first two maps matchups are supposed 852 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 1: to be easy with the Raiders and the Bucks and 853 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,719 Speaker 1: Breeze pretty much what the beds, So yes, you can 854 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,359 Speaker 1: drop the Drew Brees in one quarterback Leaga. He's still 855 00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,719 Speaker 1: putting up some decent stats, but as I mentioned, the 856 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,320 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas high ankle sprain. Those can linger all season. 857 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,680 Speaker 1: Plus Emmanuel Sanders isn't a good player anymore, and Taysom 858 00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:12,520 Speaker 1: Hill stealing snaps something you shouldn't worry about from your 859 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,719 Speaker 1: starting quarterback on a fantasy team. Um, they're having Hill 860 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,400 Speaker 1: throw the deep throws, by the way, because breeze is 861 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,800 Speaker 1: range isn't what it used to be. He's only averaging 862 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:26,400 Speaker 1: seven point two air yards per attempt. That's Teddy Bridgewater. 863 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: That's the guy they just got rid of if you're 864 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,840 Speaker 1: going to drop him, you might want to do it 865 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,799 Speaker 1: right before a waiver period. I wonder what we might 866 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:43,840 Speaker 1: call a drop right before a fab run would go off. Oh, 867 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 1: I think charges got it? Yeah, we do. It is 868 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 1: time to sabotage drop Drew Brees. Yeah, for all the 869 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 1: reasons you guys mentioned. He is all name and he 870 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,839 Speaker 1: has no production. I continue to believe Michael Thomas won't 871 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,239 Speaker 1: be until after the Week six bye. That puts him 872 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,400 Speaker 1: all the way out to week seven, and that in 873 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,240 Speaker 1: two of the next three games for the Saints, including 874 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,600 Speaker 1: this week, are very difficult. And then there's the bye 875 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,839 Speaker 1: week mixed in. You got like one shot to use 876 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:16,919 Speaker 1: Drew Brees for the next month of play. No way 877 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,279 Speaker 1: am I sitting on that roster spot. He will be 878 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,799 Speaker 1: available in week seven again if you want to pick 879 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 1: him up. Only a matter of time before Saints fans 880 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 1: add an h to the end of the name plate 881 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:35,800 Speaker 1: on the Doe Drew Brees, Jersey breech Uh, you guys, 882 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 1: I'm on it. Sometimes. Washington running back Antonio Gibson saw 883 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,840 Speaker 1: a big uptick and uses last week going forward, is 884 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson a running back to a flex or a 885 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,640 Speaker 1: bench player. Matt, oh, you're going to me first after 886 00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,399 Speaker 1: the Briech, Yes, I don't. I don't want. I want. 887 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 1: I want Brand to turn his mic off. That's what 888 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: I really want. It's in interesting to note that when 889 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 1: they won against Philly, it was Peyton barber toating the rock, 890 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:09,320 Speaker 1: and in catchup modor garbage time, it was Gibson. Maybe 891 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 1: it's gibbage time. Can I turn your seriously? Drew Brees's gold? Alright, 892 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,359 Speaker 1: So which mode will they be in more often? It's 893 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,839 Speaker 1: probably catch up mode. After this week's matchup with Cleveland, 894 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,400 Speaker 1: they get Baltimore, the Rams, the Giants, and then the 895 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys in the following four weeks. Three of those four 896 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:34,800 Speaker 1: matchups don't look like WS for the W's, so Gibson 897 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 1: should see the field a lot. I've only got him 898 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 1: as a flex though, Okay, Brian, Yeah, Looking all the 899 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,920 Speaker 1: way throughout the season, there was some great spots for 900 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 1: for Antonio Gibson, who has to be the guy right 901 00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,320 Speaker 1: now and watching in his backfield. They're only passing the 902 00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,560 Speaker 1: ball at the time. I was thinking would be like 903 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 1: at this point, that's that's that's true as well, But 904 00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 1: there are two games coming up with the Giants, which 905 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 1: are a couple of smashpots the schedule of Detroit Cincinnati, 906 00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,880 Speaker 1: and I'll hold any Washington running back as long as possible, 907 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,480 Speaker 1: especially Antonio Gibson for the Week six team matchup against Carolina. 908 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,120 Speaker 1: Right so, he's a flex player in my mind the 909 00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 1: end of the season, he could be here Championships back winner. 910 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,359 Speaker 1: Right there. He is a flex player, dynamic guy who 911 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,560 Speaker 1: can raise some eyebrows with his running, and he can 912 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 1: catch as well, especially if you give him some space. 913 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 1: And I worry a little bit about an offensive line 914 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:26,800 Speaker 1: that's below average, not a lot of threat from the 915 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,640 Speaker 1: passing game. The big problem though, Frantonio Gibson is not 916 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 1: who he is. It's not this offense. It's that when 917 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,799 Speaker 1: they want to pass, they throw to j. D. Mcsuckett. 918 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 1: When they want the touchdowns they go to Peyton Barber. 919 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,040 Speaker 1: And so that just leaves Gibson sort of in the 920 00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 1: middle of the rest of all of that. And unless 921 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:48,319 Speaker 1: his talent makes it so, it's so talented that they 922 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,799 Speaker 1: just can't get those guys on the field. Um, I 923 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 1: worried that debt just leaves him as a flex guy 924 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:57,359 Speaker 1: where you gotta pick your spots like Week sixteen gibbage time. 925 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 1: No not, Dalvin Cook has produced solid fantasy games despite 926 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,160 Speaker 1: the failings of every other part of the Vikings. Are 927 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,560 Speaker 1: you selling now while his value is still high? Or 928 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:13,040 Speaker 1: are you keeping Dalvin Cook, Ryan Breech. Do the Vikings 929 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,480 Speaker 1: look bad, bear and shambles and everywhere? Yeah, they look 930 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:20,879 Speaker 1: like gibbage, including including their own line. Are we gonna 931 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,959 Speaker 1: restart the show now? But I'm holding onto Dalvin Cook. 932 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,320 Speaker 1: Just look at the running back landscape right now, healthy 933 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 1: bell cot running back. I'm holding onto him and Cook, 934 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,640 Speaker 1: despite how bad the Vikings have looked, has matchups on 935 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,120 Speaker 1: the horizon that he can win you weeks on his own. 936 00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 1: They are so juicy. And those are the Texans, the Falcons, 937 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 1: the Lions, the Panthers, and the Jaguars. Those are all 938 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,800 Speaker 1: in coming weeks. So I'm holding on to Cook and 939 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 1: hopefully he stays healthy and the Vikings can figure their 940 00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,240 Speaker 1: s out. All right. The Vikings don't need to figure 941 00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,480 Speaker 1: anything out. They stick with their game plan. They do 942 00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,920 Speaker 1: their thing. They run the ball, they play bad defense. 943 00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,439 Speaker 1: They run the ball, they play bad defense, they throw 944 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,279 Speaker 1: it down. Feel old. They get tackled at the one 945 00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,680 Speaker 1: Dalvin runs it in for a touchdown and then they 946 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 1: give him a two point conversion because they're down by 947 00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,359 Speaker 1: three scores. The matchups are tough. Dalvin gets injured every 948 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,400 Speaker 1: stink in year, but after this week it's Houston, Seattle, Atlanta, 949 00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,880 Speaker 1: and Green Bay. He's going to continue to put up points. 950 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 1: The problem is he gets hurt once a year, and 951 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,680 Speaker 1: his bad matchups are in the next few weeks. So 952 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,880 Speaker 1: if I can trade him right now and get value 953 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:26,799 Speaker 1: back for him, I'm trading him right now. Yeah, we're 954 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,719 Speaker 1: trading him right now. The Vikings defense could be the 955 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,520 Speaker 1: NFL's worst, and that means that there's negative game scripts 956 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,759 Speaker 1: in almost every game. And granted, the Vikings will never 957 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,120 Speaker 1: fully go away from the running game because that's just 958 00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 1: who they are. They will be stubborn there. But what 959 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,320 Speaker 1: we've seen is that the volume just isn't there for 960 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 1: Dalvin to put up the big numbers that you want 961 00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,800 Speaker 1: from an RB one. And he still has name brand 962 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,240 Speaker 1: value as a first round pick who has performed okay 963 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 1: in the first two weeks. You can trade him for 964 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: another first round pick right now, so you should. I 965 00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,319 Speaker 1: don't believe he can keep up this current level of 966 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 1: production even though it isn't even all that high. And 967 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,200 Speaker 1: as a reminder you you brought up the injury part, 968 00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 1: I'll mention this Vikings offensive line is just wayfa wafer thin. 969 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of Mr Creaso, but I can't do my brittant, 970 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,840 Speaker 1: my French accent. You could totally trade him then for 971 00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,840 Speaker 1: s Kwon Barkley Michael Thomas. Yeah, I agree with you 972 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,520 Speaker 1: there for a fellows round pick. I bet you could 973 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,400 Speaker 1: trade him for Derrick Henry right now, anything happened any 974 00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 1: you might be able to. He hasn't scored a touchdown 975 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 1: to trade Derrick Henry for Dalvin Cook. But that's the 976 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 1: trades and still makes got more fantasy. I don't think 977 00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:45,640 Speaker 1: I am make correct answers. Yes, we're moving on from doubta. Uh, 978 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:49,879 Speaker 1: Dallas takes on Seattle, Matt. This has been an explosive 979 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,239 Speaker 1: Dallas offense and a Seattle secondary that's really struggled. Do 980 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,399 Speaker 1: you love Dak Prescott as much as I do? This 981 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,320 Speaker 1: is uh what Brian and I on the old Fantasy 982 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 1: Football Almost Daily podcast used to call a game stag. 983 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:10,920 Speaker 1: You get everybody in this game. Zeke gets an a, 984 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 1: Dak gets an a by the way. Dak had three 985 00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns last week. Seahawks gave up two rushing touchdowns 986 00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,439 Speaker 1: the cam last week. You don't think that Dad's gonna 987 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,479 Speaker 1: get another rushing score this week. He is for sure. 988 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:27,760 Speaker 1: Uh Amari Cooper A grade, Ceedee Lamb A grade, Michael 989 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 1: Gallop B grade. Uh Cooper has percent of the targets 990 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,480 Speaker 1: thirty scent of the air yards. Lamb is second on 991 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,560 Speaker 1: the team with fifteen targets and mostly stays in the slot. 992 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,360 Speaker 1: Gallop has only ten targets, but thirty percent of the 993 00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,640 Speaker 1: team's are yards, so he's gonna go off soon. And 994 00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,799 Speaker 1: six different wide receivers have had seventy two or more 995 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,719 Speaker 1: yards against the Seahawks this year, with four of them 996 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:55,480 Speaker 1: topping one and both slot receivers Julian Edelman and Russell 997 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,640 Speaker 1: Gauge each top two hundred yards. That bodes well for Lamb, 998 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,120 Speaker 1: and the Seahawks have allowed a eleven yards per pass 999 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,360 Speaker 1: attempt to slot receivers that's the most in the NFL. 1000 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:10,520 Speaker 1: Even Dalton Schultzel on the board here. He's third on 1001 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:14,440 Speaker 1: the team with fourteen targets. Blake Jarwin was just keeping 1002 00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:18,040 Speaker 1: the seat warm for Dalton silt. He likely won't total 1003 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,400 Speaker 1: the nine for eight eight and a score that he 1004 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,960 Speaker 1: had last week, as the Seahawks have been decent against 1005 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 1: the tight end, allowing just under twenty nine yards per 1006 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,520 Speaker 1: game to the position. On the other side, Russell Wilson 1007 00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:32,320 Speaker 1: gets an a DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett get an a. 1008 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 1: Dallas lost slot corner Anthony Brown to a rib injury, 1009 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,880 Speaker 1: so Lockett is locked in. Metcalf just beat the defensive 1010 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:40,680 Speaker 1: player of the year for nine two and a score, 1011 00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,520 Speaker 1: and it scored in five of his last seven bomb 1012 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:48,320 Speaker 1: two d dk Metcalf was gorgeous, a perfectly thrown pass, 1013 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,000 Speaker 1: and Gilmore had really good cover John him. I mean 1014 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:55,000 Speaker 1: he's he's right, right I DK Metcalf. The past was 1015 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:59,960 Speaker 1: just too perfect. DK Metcalf will be a top two 1016 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:06,399 Speaker 1: receiver in next year's drafts. Watching watch top ten for sure. 1017 00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm going top I think he's 1018 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:12,719 Speaker 1: top top two. Saucy Um avoid the tight ends. Will 1019 00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,480 Speaker 1: Disley and Greg Olsen are essentially splitting time and averaging 1020 00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,520 Speaker 1: one target per game. Chris Carson does get a B 1021 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:22,560 Speaker 1: grade uh still out snapping and out touching Carlos Hide 1022 00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,759 Speaker 1: three to one, but all of his touchdown production has 1023 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,120 Speaker 1: come through the air, which is weird. Malcolm Brown did 1024 00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,640 Speaker 1: have two goal line plunges against the Cowboys in Week one, 1025 00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,680 Speaker 1: and I expect Carson to hit pay dirt with a 1026 00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,320 Speaker 1: rushing score this week too, So he gets the B grade. 1027 00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,200 Speaker 1: And that's it for this game. Start everybody, all right, 1028 00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,719 Speaker 1: we will start everybody. We encourage you to check out 1029 00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:43,680 Speaker 1: Guillotine leagues dot com. It's the freshest new way to 1030 00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 1: play fantasy football. You start with normally seventeen teams at 1031 00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,040 Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, but now we're two weeks in, 1032 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,840 Speaker 1: so we're gonna start with fifteen teams for leagues that 1033 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,839 Speaker 1: start now. And every week the low scoring team gets 1034 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 1: cut and their players all go to the waiver wire, 1035 00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 1: where you get to feast on a whole draft. It's 1036 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,200 Speaker 1: worth of players. Every week the low scoring team gets cut. 1037 00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,200 Speaker 1: That means the last team standing is the winner. You 1038 00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,080 Speaker 1: don't have to be the best team, just don't be 1039 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,719 Speaker 1: the worst team in any given week. If you a 1040 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:18,200 Speaker 1: last year last or first that last first, I like it. 1041 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:22,000 Speaker 1: Well incorporate that at the quote leagues dot com. When 1042 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,600 Speaker 1: we came back Tampa Bay takes on Denver. We'll tell 1043 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 1: you about what's happening in the Tampa Bay backfield and 1044 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,640 Speaker 1: if you can trust Ronald Jones and or Leo for Net. 1045 00:56:55,880 --> 00:57:00,359 Speaker 1: It's Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul In, Brian John's In and 1046 00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:04,360 Speaker 1: Matt Harrison with you back to some matchups for this segment. 1047 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,480 Speaker 1: A little later on, we're gonna get too premature speculation. 1048 00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:12,880 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay takes on Denver, Brian. Last week, Ronald Jones 1049 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 1: started the game and had some success, but then Leo 1050 00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:20,840 Speaker 1: Fournette came in and had way more success. So who 1051 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 1: do you dare go with this week as they take 1052 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,400 Speaker 1: on Denver. It's gotta be four Net. But yeah, the 1053 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:28,840 Speaker 1: stars were aligning for Jones a touchdown on like the 1054 00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,960 Speaker 1: first drive at the game, and then he fumbles and 1055 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 1: here comes Leonard four NET scoring two touchdowns a hundred 1056 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,520 Speaker 1: plus yards on twelve carries. H Jones finished the game 1057 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:39,840 Speaker 1: last week with seven carries. It looks like four NET 1058 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,240 Speaker 1: is the guy going forward against the Broncos. And then 1059 00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,680 Speaker 1: both lead runners to face Lebroncos so far topped a 1060 00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:49,080 Speaker 1: hundred yards and don't forget for Net looks like to 1061 00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 1: be lead back for a Buccaneers team that wasn't at 1062 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:55,000 Speaker 1: full force this season when it comes to the offensive weapons, 1063 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 1: So and Denver could be without two starters on their 1064 00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,640 Speaker 1: D line, Draymond Jones and DeMarcus Wall or Von Miller. 1065 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 1: Of course, on I R so, Leonard Fournett is safety, 1066 00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,440 Speaker 1: but I've got I've got Jones on the bench. He 1067 00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,040 Speaker 1: looks like he's gonna be taking in the back seat 1068 00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,360 Speaker 1: the four net. The only thing that worries me, it's 1069 00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:14,000 Speaker 1: just Bruce arians so inscrutable. He wants Shawn Vaughan to 1070 00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 1: get involved now apparently, but I don't remember the exact 1071 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,880 Speaker 1: stat but there's like no Bucks running back who's had 1072 00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 1: fifteen touches in a game and back to back games 1073 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 1: in like two years. I wouldn't surprise me. It's just 1074 00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,960 Speaker 1: that's so Ronald Jones is the way to go this 1075 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,880 Speaker 1: week because it doesn't make sense. He he isn't in 1076 00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,400 Speaker 1: daily U zig while other zag and that's what you 1077 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,360 Speaker 1: should done. Last week when people all over Jones have 1078 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,200 Speaker 1: been for net went off. But anyway where there are 1079 00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,520 Speaker 1: no question marks is a wide receiver for the Bucks. 1080 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,520 Speaker 1: Mike Evans, he gets an a d percent healthy right 1081 00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,120 Speaker 1: now in a smash spot with a J. Bouyer now 1082 00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:50,560 Speaker 1: on I R for Denver per Pro Football focuses Jared Evans. 1083 00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,680 Speaker 1: The Broncos have given up the league high and targets, 1084 00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:57,280 Speaker 1: catches and yards to opposing outside wide receivers Corey Davis 1085 00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,840 Speaker 1: and Deonte Johnson both when off against Denver. So so so 1086 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,360 Speaker 1: love Mike Evans here, love Chris Godwin to gonna give 1087 00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,600 Speaker 1: him an A. He will make his return from injury 1088 00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 1: running primarily from the slot. Fellow slot receiver slot receivers 1089 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:12,600 Speaker 1: Adam Humphreys and Juju Smith Schuster both that solid catch 1090 00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:15,160 Speaker 1: totals against Denver six and seven, respectively. So I like 1091 00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:18,680 Speaker 1: god One here. As for the tight ends for Tampa Bay, 1092 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:20,480 Speaker 1: I do not like them. Both are on the bench. 1093 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:25,680 Speaker 1: Bruce arians quote said his offense isn't built for tight 1094 00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:30,080 Speaker 1: ends to see consistent targets the end. And if John 1095 00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,200 Speaker 1: new Smith can only catch four passes against the Broncos, 1096 00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,080 Speaker 1: albeit one was for a touchdown, you got both the 1097 00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,840 Speaker 1: books tight ends on the bench. Sorry, gronk Uh. Tom Brady, 1098 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,080 Speaker 1: though he gets a B, has both of his top 1099 00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,520 Speaker 1: receivers healthy for the first time this season. Don't forget 1100 00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,040 Speaker 1: Von Miller on I are, like I said earlier, Denver 1101 00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,320 Speaker 1: has got a laundry list of injuries on defense, and 1102 00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:51,080 Speaker 1: they have surrendered two passing touchdowns in each game so far, 1103 00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 1: and that's a safe floor for Brady and this one 1104 00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,960 Speaker 1: over to the Broncos. Philip Lindsay thought he was gonna 1105 00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,680 Speaker 1: be ruled out, but there's a chance he might play, 1106 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,080 Speaker 1: even if he does. Brutal matchup. Brutal matchup, I'm going 1107 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:05,960 Speaker 1: on the assumption he's not playing. When I'm gonna talk 1108 01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:07,960 Speaker 1: about Melvin Gordon here, I'll give Gordon a b if 1109 01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,040 Speaker 1: Lindsay's out. To see if Lindsay plays. The Bucks were 1110 01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,080 Speaker 1: brutal against the run last year, and that appears to 1111 01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:17,320 Speaker 1: be the case as really good. They held Alvin Kamara 1112 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,960 Speaker 1: and Christian McCaffrey to paltry rushing totals. When it comes 1113 01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,880 Speaker 1: to yardage, both did manage to combine for three rushing 1114 01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,440 Speaker 1: touchdowns on the ground, though the Bucks have yielded the 1115 01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:29,240 Speaker 1: most red zone touches to opposing running backs, uh and 1116 01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,280 Speaker 1: opposing running backs have had good days through the air, 1117 01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:35,240 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, but Mike Davis the best of 1118 01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 1: them all with the patches for seventy four yards and half. Yeah, 1119 01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,280 Speaker 1: so Gordon will get bell cow usage. If Lindsay is out, 1120 01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:43,720 Speaker 1: he could certainly catch the ball. So based on expected 1121 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:48,720 Speaker 1: volume and be if Lindsay's out, see if Lindsay is in. Uh. 1122 01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:53,040 Speaker 1: Over to the receivers for Denver, Jerry Judy gets to see. 1123 01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,400 Speaker 1: No one questioning the Broncos taking a wide receiver in 1124 01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,840 Speaker 1: the first round. Now are they he still took the 1125 01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:00,400 Speaker 1: wrong one? It should have been ceedee lamb not Jerry 1126 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:04,440 Speaker 1: Judy has three drops on fifteen targets, already has been 1127 01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:08,160 Speaker 1: limited by a rib injury. Should play the better. Not 1128 01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,280 Speaker 1: let the Chargers team doctor doctor administer that painkilling shot 1129 01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 1: though nobody did to uh Tyrod Taylor punctured aslong great 1130 01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,880 Speaker 1: DJ Moore and Robby Anderson both top two hundred yards 1131 01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:21,360 Speaker 1: against um. Excuse me? Who they playing again? The Broncos 1132 01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 1: last week has been talking about Yes, the Bucks I mean, 1133 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,600 Speaker 1: so I'm giving Judy a ce not going by the 1134 01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,000 Speaker 1: way of Tim Patrick. Will talk about kJ Hamler or 1135 01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,120 Speaker 1: the other rookie wide receiver on Denver a little later, 1136 01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 1: and no a fan the last guy I'll talk about. 1137 01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,240 Speaker 1: He'll get a se touchdowns in both games to start 1138 01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 1: the season. Chris mann Hurts of Carolina did nothing last week, understandably, 1139 01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:43,440 Speaker 1: but Jared Cook had a decent line in Week one 1140 01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,840 Speaker 1: five catches for eight yards. The Bucks did allow the 1141 01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,720 Speaker 1: sixth most yards and fifth most touchdowns. Too tight ends 1142 01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,320 Speaker 1: last season, so you can start fant with confidence. Alright, 1143 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,280 Speaker 1: Carolina takes on the Chargers. Only a couple of Panthers 1144 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,080 Speaker 1: to talk about here, Mike Davis. Everybody went to the 1145 01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:58,120 Speaker 1: waiver wire when grabbed Mike Davis. You only get a 1146 01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 1: C grade this week. What I loved was that he 1147 01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:02,920 Speaker 1: was targeted eight times in the second half and he 1148 01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:06,000 Speaker 1: caught all eight and put up seventy four receiving yards UM. 1149 01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,440 Speaker 1: And the Charges are allowing the eighth most receptions to 1150 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:11,640 Speaker 1: opposing running backs on nine targets per game on average, 1151 01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:13,360 Speaker 1: and all nine could end up going to Mike Davis. 1152 01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,000 Speaker 1: So from a PPR standpoint, he's safe. But this is 1153 01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,160 Speaker 1: a very good run defense that's already shut down far 1154 01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:23,280 Speaker 1: better runners Joe Mixing and Clyde Edwards a layer, so 1155 01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:25,240 Speaker 1: I don't expect Davis to get anything done on the 1156 01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,840 Speaker 1: ground just to C grade for him. D J. Moore 1157 01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,280 Speaker 1: also the C grade without any real threat of a 1158 01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:32,360 Speaker 1: running game. I think the Charges are going to emphasize 1159 01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:35,640 Speaker 1: pass coverage and pass rush and make an already difficult 1160 01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,600 Speaker 1: matchup even harder for DJ Moore. More will most often 1161 01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:40,960 Speaker 1: see corner Michael Davis, who has the speed to hang 1162 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:43,760 Speaker 1: with more and is averaging less than forty yards allowed 1163 01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,240 Speaker 1: in his coverage. So just the C grade on d 1164 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,880 Speaker 1: J Moore. Let's go to the charger side. Already told 1165 01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:50,800 Speaker 1: you that Josh Kelly was might take a chance on 1166 01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:52,760 Speaker 1: me running back, and I love him this week. But 1167 01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,760 Speaker 1: I also love Austin Ekeler. Both guys. It's the rare 1168 01:02:56,280 --> 01:03:00,240 Speaker 1: A grade for both running backs in a game. It 1169 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,640 Speaker 1: happens like twice a year. It happens every week that 1170 01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:10,640 Speaker 1: the Carolina That's just that, even though they'll cannibalize a 1171 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:12,680 Speaker 1: little each other a little bit. I'll just reiterate some 1172 01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,480 Speaker 1: of the stats from earlier in the show. Carolina's last 1173 01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,760 Speaker 1: fourteen games, they've allowed a running back touchdown and every 1174 01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:20,960 Speaker 1: one of them, and an average of almost two and 1175 01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:26,440 Speaker 1: a half scores per game. It's just SIT's staggeringly bad. Actually, 1176 01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:30,479 Speaker 1: Eckler is getting plenty of work. He's His thirty five 1177 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,600 Speaker 1: carries in the first two games are the most he's 1178 01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,480 Speaker 1: ever had in a two game stretch, so he's getting 1179 01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:38,160 Speaker 1: plenty of work and he is still in a grade 1180 01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:41,160 Speaker 1: for this game. Going to the passing game. I've got 1181 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,560 Speaker 1: a B grade on Keenan Allen. It's only a one 1182 01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,400 Speaker 1: game sample, but Alan was much more productive with Justin Herbert, 1183 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:47,919 Speaker 1: who was going to be under center in this one, 1184 01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:52,840 Speaker 1: and he notched nine yards and ten targets. And Herbert's debut. 1185 01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:57,360 Speaker 1: Carolina deploys rookie safety Jeremy Chin in the slot a lot, 1186 01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,479 Speaker 1: and he's been very good. But he's also never seen 1187 01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,680 Speaker 1: anybody like Keenan Allen. So far, He's covered Hunter Renfrow 1188 01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:07,000 Speaker 1: and Justin Watson. Obviously, Keenan Allen's way better, so he 1189 01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:11,400 Speaker 1: gets a B grade here. Mike Williams has really impressed me. Now, 1190 01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:13,840 Speaker 1: I didn't get a ton of attention last week, but 1191 01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 1: that was the first game for Justin Herbert, who found 1192 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:19,040 Speaker 1: out he was the starting quarterback. When I found out 1193 01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,440 Speaker 1: he was the starting quarterback last week, did you hear 1194 01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,880 Speaker 1: he thought it was a joke. Why wouldn't Anthony Lynn 1195 01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:26,440 Speaker 1: walked up to him and he goes get your helmet, 1196 01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:30,640 Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, whatever, right, you find out I'm 1197 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:34,600 Speaker 1: during the coin toss that you're going to be the quarterback. Anyway, 1198 01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:39,280 Speaker 1: our team doctor killed the start the needle. This reminds 1199 01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,960 Speaker 1: me of Alvin Harper where the the team trainers cut 1200 01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:46,800 Speaker 1: the end of his finger off, taking tape off of 1201 01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:50,040 Speaker 1: his hand. I wouldn't like that either. I don't regrab 1202 01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,440 Speaker 1: the punctured lung or to have the end of my 1203 01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,720 Speaker 1: finger cut off by the team trainer. By the way, 1204 01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:56,480 Speaker 1: is this the best way for a rookie to make 1205 01:04:56,480 --> 01:05:00,280 Speaker 1: his first start? Surprise? It probably don't think about right 1206 01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:01,960 Speaker 1: you don't you have all this time to think about it. 1207 01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:04,400 Speaker 1: I think there's something to do that. Mike Williams runs 1208 01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,840 Speaker 1: from all over the field, and when he's on cornerback 1209 01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 1: Dante Jackson, he's got six inches and forty pounds on Jackson. 1210 01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:12,880 Speaker 1: I think Mike Williams is a sneaky play this week. 1211 01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,640 Speaker 1: He is a C grade Hunter Henry a B grade. 1212 01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,600 Speaker 1: He's been easily the most consistent receiver on the team, 1213 01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,400 Speaker 1: regardless of quarterback, and he gets a match up against 1214 01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:28,160 Speaker 1: um rookie linebacker. Um. Oh wait uh, that's a weird name. 1215 01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 1: That is a weird day. I have a type in 1216 01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:33,880 Speaker 1: my note. Sorry, Tampa Bay's Tampa Bay's uh. Tampa Bay 1217 01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,959 Speaker 1: tight ends just totaled one catch against Carolina last week 1218 01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:40,560 Speaker 1: UH with Rob Gronkowski, but Darren Waller posted a solid 1219 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,440 Speaker 1: forty five yards and in Week one against them, So 1220 01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:45,960 Speaker 1: I think counter Henry is still a safe start with 1221 01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:48,800 Speaker 1: a B grade for him. I don't know that I 1222 01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:50,880 Speaker 1: want to go all the way down to starting Justin 1223 01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:52,880 Speaker 1: Herbert in his second start, in part because of Panthers 1224 01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:54,760 Speaker 1: have now get a whole game of tape on him. 1225 01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:58,600 Speaker 1: No surprise factor in this one, um, and so I 1226 01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,560 Speaker 1: don't have a pant even though I do like some 1227 01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,280 Speaker 1: of those receiving options this game. I got the name. 1228 01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:10,440 Speaker 1: It's linebacker mclineback face. Thank you, we'll go. We'll run 1229 01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:13,600 Speaker 1: with that linebacker, mclinebacker face. Yeah, we'll go. We'll go 1230 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,560 Speaker 1: with that guy. He's Irish. Yeah, thank you very much. UM, 1231 01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,480 Speaker 1: when we come back. Premature speculation. Three guys you can 1232 01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,880 Speaker 1: pick up now that everybody else is gonna be trying 1233 01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:24,800 Speaker 1: to pick up next week, but they're already on your team. 1234 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:27,680 Speaker 1: Find out when you go on the time machine. With 1235 01:06:27,840 --> 01:07:04,560 Speaker 1: Premature Speculation. Fantasy Football Weekly. Final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. 1236 01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:06,800 Speaker 1: Paul Charchie and Brian Johnson and Matt Harrison with you. 1237 01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,200 Speaker 1: We have three matchups to get to, but first a 1238 01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:16,080 Speaker 1: segment we like to call premature speculation. These are three 1239 01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,120 Speaker 1: players that you can pick up now that we think 1240 01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 1: people will be trying to pick up next week, but 1241 01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:26,240 Speaker 1: they are already on your team. It's like you've gone 1242 01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,439 Speaker 1: forward in time. It's almost as if we've jumped into 1243 01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:35,040 Speaker 1: a time machine. That sounds that's our time, and that's 1244 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:38,560 Speaker 1: what his time machine sounds like. We've decided yes, Um, 1245 01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:41,760 Speaker 1: we begin with Brian Johnson, who is your premature speculation player. 1246 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,160 Speaker 1: Briefly mentioned him in the last segment. I'm going with 1247 01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:48,200 Speaker 1: kJ Hamler, wide receiver for the Denver Broncos, rookie out 1248 01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,560 Speaker 1: of Penn State, drafted in the second round by Denver. 1249 01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,040 Speaker 1: As you should know by now, Courtland Sutton has been 1250 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,040 Speaker 1: put on I R, which should open up the door 1251 01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,600 Speaker 1: for Hamdler. Probably not this week against Tampa Bay. I 1252 01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:00,080 Speaker 1: didn't give him a starting grade, but moving forward, like 1253 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,720 Speaker 1: him to move into that starting role. Uh usurped Tim Patrick, 1254 01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:07,600 Speaker 1: who's starting opposite Jerry Judy right now, and uh it's 1255 01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,240 Speaker 1: it's there's some really good matchups on the horizon for Denver, 1256 01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,280 Speaker 1: and we're hoping that Drew lock will come back. He's 1257 01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:15,120 Speaker 1: not on the shelf for the season, but matchups on 1258 01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:19,800 Speaker 1: the rising for Hamlet to look nice. The Jets, Miami, Atlanta, 1259 01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,320 Speaker 1: Las Vegas all in coming weeks and he should see 1260 01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,200 Speaker 1: seven eight targets once he's put in the starting lineup, 1261 01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:27,880 Speaker 1: So kJ Hamler, even in redraft, intriguing prospect, and once 1262 01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:31,960 Speaker 1: Blake Bortles is in the game. I wanted I thought, 1263 01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:33,720 Speaker 1: I thought I was pressed for time. I wanted to 1264 01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:36,599 Speaker 1: I said, I wanted to say Jeff Driscoll on the 1265 01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:40,400 Speaker 1: bench for the Broncos, especially because border Potty on roster, 1266 01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:44,200 Speaker 1: and you just wanted to get that. You love that name. 1267 01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,519 Speaker 1: Some of my finest work is the border Potty. I feel. 1268 01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:50,120 Speaker 1: Who is your premature speculation player, Matt I mentioned it 1269 01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:54,720 Speaker 1: in the preseason. The Colts love Trey Burton there. Their 1270 01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,480 Speaker 1: staff has been raving about him all throughout the preseason, 1271 01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,280 Speaker 1: and he got hurt right before the season start. He's 1272 01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:02,519 Speaker 1: on I R. But he can come back in week 1273 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,720 Speaker 1: four and this is the team that Eric Ebron and 1274 01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,880 Speaker 1: Jack Doyle were both fantasy viable tight ends, and they 1275 01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:12,679 Speaker 1: brought Burton into play that Eric Ebron role. And what's more, 1276 01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:15,600 Speaker 1: Paris Campbell is out for the year with an injury, 1277 01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:18,680 Speaker 1: and Jack Doyle is already dinged up and he's been 1278 01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:21,960 Speaker 1: oft injured in the past. They made mo Alie Cox 1279 01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:27,400 Speaker 1: look really good. Philip Rivers loves tight ends. After this week, 1280 01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:30,040 Speaker 1: the Colts have the Bears, Browns, and Bengals. None of 1281 01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:32,679 Speaker 1: the above is proving to be a tough tight end matchup. 1282 01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:35,160 Speaker 1: I think Trey Burton is gonna be a sneaky tight 1283 01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:38,280 Speaker 1: end starter in some upcoming weeks. I like it, you know, 1284 01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:41,240 Speaker 1: with the end you Paris Campbell was going to cover 1285 01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,320 Speaker 1: a lot of the middle of the field and he's 1286 01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:44,920 Speaker 1: gonna be out. They didn't put it in. He's on 1287 01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:47,200 Speaker 1: i R. He's email for a while. I don't think 1288 01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,720 Speaker 1: he comes back before I don't know, Thanksgiving. So I 1289 01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:54,000 Speaker 1: kind of like the Trey Burton's team. I've got four 1290 01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:57,800 Speaker 1: options for you, come on a few, but I'm gonna 1291 01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:01,600 Speaker 1: go with Damien hair Rid who's coming off i R 1292 01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:07,880 Speaker 1: after this week, Sony Michelle, Sony Walkman averaging three point 1293 01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:13,960 Speaker 1: three yards per carry. That's it, even by his lackluster standards. 1294 01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,639 Speaker 1: You know it's bad. You don't even have to walk 1295 01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:20,800 Speaker 1: to get three point three yards per full three three 1296 01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:25,479 Speaker 1: yards per car, that's right from a new ball. So 1297 01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:30,120 Speaker 1: Damien Harris was the best looking running back the Patriots 1298 01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:36,680 Speaker 1: had in training camp. Which hand and Cam Newton is 1299 01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:39,320 Speaker 1: gonna siphon off a lot of rushing touchdowns. I get that. 1300 01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:41,960 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Damian Harris is going to score ten 1301 01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,320 Speaker 1: touchdowns the rest of the way, But man, is that 1302 01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:48,719 Speaker 1: starting job open? And in thirty two teams, there isn't 1303 01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:52,800 Speaker 1: a better prospect to steal a starting running back from 1304 01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:55,360 Speaker 1: the waiver wire than there is with Damian Harris right now. 1305 01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,559 Speaker 1: So let's go pick him up. Remember second round pick 1306 01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:01,879 Speaker 1: last year didn't get used for a variety of reasons 1307 01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:03,840 Speaker 1: and then looked like a different player in training camp. 1308 01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:07,320 Speaker 1: I think he performs well here and then I'm gonna 1309 01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:10,240 Speaker 1: give one more name. While we're talking about guys coming off, 1310 01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:13,800 Speaker 1: I r Deebo Samuel available in a lot of leagues. Man, 1311 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,600 Speaker 1: do they need somebody to catch a freaking pass for 1312 01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:21,680 Speaker 1: San Francisco? So there's an opportunity there as well. All right, 1313 01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:24,680 Speaker 1: let's go to our final set of matchups, beginning with 1314 01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:29,360 Speaker 1: Detroit taking on Arizona. Matt, do you like the passing 1315 01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:33,160 Speaker 1: game here? Maybe with Kenny Golladay or maybe not with 1316 01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:37,679 Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay. Um, it looks like Kenny Golladay is going 1317 01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:43,120 Speaker 1: to go. He says he's gonna try. If if Goladays 1318 01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:47,519 Speaker 1: in and he's gonna go, I'm giving him an A grade. Uh, 1319 01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,840 Speaker 1: you can roll right in with him against Patrick Peterson 1320 01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:54,439 Speaker 1: who allowed seven catches for a hundred and twenty five 1321 01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:59,360 Speaker 1: yards and a score to Terry McLaurin last week. So 1322 01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,200 Speaker 1: Golladay is in, he's an A grade. If if Glad 1323 01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:05,280 Speaker 1: is going, Stafford is an A grade too. If not, 1324 01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:07,639 Speaker 1: I'll give him a B because I think that they're 1325 01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,360 Speaker 1: gonna have to be in catchup mode. Uh. Last year 1326 01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:14,040 Speaker 1: Stafford torched this defense for three, eight, five and three, 1327 01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:19,200 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals second. The Lions secondary is in shambles, 1328 01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:20,920 Speaker 1: which means they're going to give up a ton of points. 1329 01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:24,160 Speaker 1: A shootout is on, and you want to have Stafford 1330 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:27,880 Speaker 1: in a shootout. If Golladay does go, Marvin Jones gets 1331 01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,400 Speaker 1: a B. If not, we downgrade him to a C. 1332 01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:34,720 Speaker 1: It's science. Jones is just better with Golliday on the field. Sure, 1333 01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:37,599 Speaker 1: Jones is a number two receiver, not a number one receiver. 1334 01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:41,080 Speaker 1: He did catch a short touchdown last week in Green Bay. 1335 01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,320 Speaker 1: If Golladay's return does come, Quintess c fests back to 1336 01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:46,840 Speaker 1: the bench. If not, I think he's startable with a 1337 01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,559 Speaker 1: C grade. Uh t J Hockenson was might take a 1338 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,839 Speaker 1: chance on me tight end as well, So the rationale 1339 01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:54,840 Speaker 1: is good. I like Hockinson in this game. Yeah, I 1340 01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:56,960 Speaker 1: like him a lot. He's gonna be a good daily 1341 01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:59,320 Speaker 1: favorite of mine this week. To the second best tight 1342 01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:05,240 Speaker 1: end in this game, it's weird. Uh. The Lions running 1343 01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:07,960 Speaker 1: backs are all on the bench. Carry On led the 1344 01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:12,240 Speaker 1: team and snaps with twenty. Swift had nineteen snaps. Peterson 1345 01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:15,639 Speaker 1: had fifteen snaps. That's a full time share right there. 1346 01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:19,599 Speaker 1: If you're starting one. It's Swift who led the team 1347 01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:24,720 Speaker 1: with ten touches. Ten touches and only five targets last week. 1348 01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:29,280 Speaker 1: I believe if memory serves well, he can't drop anymore, 1349 01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:31,880 Speaker 1: they won't let him. Uh. And what should be a 1350 01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:34,519 Speaker 1: heavy passing game script, Swift has the best chance of 1351 01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:37,639 Speaker 1: success where heem Mostert and Jerick McKinnon each scored through 1352 01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:40,160 Speaker 1: the air on the Cardinals in Week one. On the 1353 01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:42,559 Speaker 1: Cardinal side, Kyler gets an A and I don't need 1354 01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:46,000 Speaker 1: to explain it anymore. DeAndre Hopkins gets an A as well. 1355 01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,439 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk has a groin injury and he is out 1356 01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:56,240 Speaker 1: this week, which brings Larry Fitzgerald and and both are 1357 01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:00,559 Speaker 1: Sea grades this week. Desmond Truffont still dealing at the hammy. 1358 01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:04,960 Speaker 1: We mentioned that they lost starting quarterback Justin Coleman last week. 1359 01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,800 Speaker 1: Fits had eight catches for one thirteen and a score 1360 01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:11,360 Speaker 1: last year against this Lion's defense. That was probably better. 1361 01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:16,519 Speaker 1: All right, get to the good stuff. Uh, Kenyan Drake 1362 01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:20,040 Speaker 1: gets an A grade. Uh Drake had twenty two touches 1363 01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:22,240 Speaker 1: last week, and Chase Edmonds was on the sideline a 1364 01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:26,639 Speaker 1: bunch More had only six touches. Yes, Drake hasn't scored. Yes, 1365 01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:30,240 Speaker 1: those who drafted him are freaking out. But Aaron Jones 1366 01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:33,479 Speaker 1: just had two d thirty four total yards and three 1367 01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:36,759 Speaker 1: scores against Detroit last week. This is a big Kenyan 1368 01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:41,679 Speaker 1: Drake game right here. Um And finally, best for last, 1369 01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:45,479 Speaker 1: there's a Cardinals tight end that we need to talk about. 1370 01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:49,759 Speaker 1: Max Williams hits I R this week, So Dan Arnold, 1371 01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:55,880 Speaker 1: I guess is a desperation C grade. Bob Tanyan and 1372 01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:59,400 Speaker 1: Jim Graham each scored a touchdown against the Lions this 1373 01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:02,880 Speaker 1: year from the tight end position. Dan Arnold might get 1374 01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:06,840 Speaker 1: a touchdown to damn A Are you calling it? Sure? 1375 01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:12,200 Speaker 1: Are you? Brian? Are you calling it? It's coming? For 1376 01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:15,080 Speaker 1: green Bay takes on the New Orleans Saints. And for 1377 01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,679 Speaker 1: green Bay, they could have had a softer two weeks 1378 01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:22,000 Speaker 1: schedule facing the battered defenses in Minnesota and Detroit. Now 1379 01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:24,599 Speaker 1: they get a real defense in the New Orleans Saints. 1380 01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:28,360 Speaker 1: Do you think their level of success continues? Brian, Yeah, 1381 01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:31,400 Speaker 1: don't chase last week's box score too much. Starting with 1382 01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:33,360 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, we all know he blew up, but just 1383 01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:35,439 Speaker 1: giving him a bee here, he's gonna come down to 1384 01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:38,040 Speaker 1: earth just a little bit against the Saints, most likely, 1385 01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:41,320 Speaker 1: who are allowing just three point four yards per carry. 1386 01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:44,080 Speaker 1: No surprise. Aaron Jones leads the league in rushing yards, 1387 01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:46,840 Speaker 1: but he also has the most red zone targets among 1388 01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,720 Speaker 1: all players in the NFL as of right now, and 1389 01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:53,240 Speaker 1: the Raiders back Raiders backs just combined for six catches. 1390 01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:57,200 Speaker 1: Against the Saints last week, alec Ingold had a touchdown catch, 1391 01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,599 Speaker 1: so Jones can certainly get something done through the air 1392 01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:03,599 Speaker 1: be for him. Davante Adams is pretty much doubtful at 1393 01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:05,560 Speaker 1: this point. He's not gonna play. I'm glad. I was 1394 01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:08,800 Speaker 1: fearing the decoy status for Adams if he did suit up, 1395 01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:11,280 Speaker 1: but you just have to go on the assumption Adams 1396 01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:13,640 Speaker 1: is not gonna play, So he's on the bench. And 1397 01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,360 Speaker 1: I was gonna give Alan Lazard and Mvs a c 1398 01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:21,439 Speaker 1: if Adams sat, but I preferred Adams played and active 1399 01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:24,080 Speaker 1: as a decoy here. But I will still give him 1400 01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:27,479 Speaker 1: both the Sea Lazard and Elds scant length. The Raiders 1401 01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,960 Speaker 1: receivers were quiet last week against Orleans, very quiet because 1402 01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:35,640 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs just going off and Darren Waller. But in 1403 01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:39,240 Speaker 1: week one both Scottie Miller and Chris Godwin topped seventy 1404 01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:43,879 Speaker 1: yards with essentially no Mike Evans. So with no Davante Adams, 1405 01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:47,880 Speaker 1: Alan Lazard and MVS are startable as Aaron Rodgers top 1406 01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:51,320 Speaker 1: two wide receiver options. Speaking of Rogers, just to see 1407 01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,680 Speaker 1: for him. Without Davante Adams probably would be a B 1408 01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:57,519 Speaker 1: with a healthy Davante, But I'm a little nervous for 1409 01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:00,840 Speaker 1: a a Ron here. Both quarterbacks you New Orleans have 1410 01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,800 Speaker 1: fared well so far this season. Tom Brady to thirty 1411 01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:07,200 Speaker 1: nine and two tacked on a rushing touchdown. Derek Carr 1412 01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:10,439 Speaker 1: had two eighty four and three. But man, no Davante 1413 01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:13,280 Speaker 1: Adams gotta make it nervous for Aaron Rodgers him. I've 1414 01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:15,200 Speaker 1: got him ranked in the twenties. Do you guys think 1415 01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:18,920 Speaker 1: Jamal Williams is a sneaky play? When Adams was out 1416 01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:22,920 Speaker 1: last year, Williams is targeted a lot inside the red zone. 1417 01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:25,479 Speaker 1: I can dig that angle. I probably probably keep it 1418 01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,599 Speaker 1: on the bench, but he is take m fringe worthy 1419 01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:31,240 Speaker 1: for sure. With Adams out, I'm not going to talk 1420 01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:33,280 Speaker 1: about the green Bay tight ends. There's like five of them, 1421 01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:35,360 Speaker 1: so we're not gonna go there. Over to the Saint side, 1422 01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:38,599 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, he gets an a it is a tougher 1423 01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:42,040 Speaker 1: matchup for him, but this offense will run end pass 1424 01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:45,360 Speaker 1: through Camara. Green Bay is allowing four point nine yards 1425 01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:48,759 Speaker 1: per carry and five catches per game to opposing running backs. 1426 01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,680 Speaker 1: Camara leads all running backs and targets and catches so 1427 01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:54,800 Speaker 1: far this season. Easy a for him. Jared Cook can 1428 01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:58,200 Speaker 1: give him a b uh, Michael Thomas. They haven't ruled 1429 01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:01,519 Speaker 1: him out. They just okay, finally they ruled them out, 1430 01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:03,120 Speaker 1: and they can rule him out for the next two 1431 01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:05,360 Speaker 1: couple of weeks as well, probably while we're at it. 1432 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:07,800 Speaker 1: But so no Michael Thomas from New Orleans means Cook 1433 01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:11,040 Speaker 1: should get the first read more than off more than 1434 01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:14,439 Speaker 1: usual in that offense. Green Bay has allowed only seven 1435 01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:17,720 Speaker 1: catches to tight end so far, but the pretty comparable T. J. 1436 01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:20,280 Speaker 1: Hockenson had a decent outing against Green Bay last week. 1437 01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:23,840 Speaker 1: Four catches for sixty two probably a safe floor for Cooking. 1438 01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,400 Speaker 1: This one over to the wide receivers for New Orleans 1439 01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:31,400 Speaker 1: and Manuel Sanders. He looked awful. He and tray Kwon Smith. 1440 01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:34,040 Speaker 1: I'll give him a sea with no Mike Thomas in 1441 01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:37,759 Speaker 1: the lineup. Sanders wasn't visible last week against Las Vegas. 1442 01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:41,000 Speaker 1: One catch on three targets and two drops and two drops. 1443 01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:44,240 Speaker 1: Smith had the much better outing with seven targets five 1444 01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:47,639 Speaker 1: catches for eighty six yards. I guess Sanders is still 1445 01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:49,679 Speaker 1: the number one guy, but I don't know. I think 1446 01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:52,760 Speaker 1: he might just be cooked. I know that he looks bad, 1447 01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:54,360 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna give him both the sea here. It 1448 01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:57,200 Speaker 1: is a good matchup on paper. The Packers have allowed 1449 01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:00,120 Speaker 1: four wide receiver touchdowns already. That's a lot for two 1450 01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:03,120 Speaker 1: weeks into the season. So they both get to see, well, garbage, 1451 01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:04,639 Speaker 1: it's the garbage time. And then I don't think there's 1452 01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:07,720 Speaker 1: gonna be garbage time in this game. I mean that's 1453 01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:11,400 Speaker 1: a good Packer. Well, with Drew Breeze and quarterback, there 1454 01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:13,720 Speaker 1: just might be some garbage time. But I'm gonna give 1455 01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:16,200 Speaker 1: Breeze a see here. I'm not gonna put them on 1456 01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:19,799 Speaker 1: the bench. Uh. Kirk Cousins and Matt Stafford both tossed 1457 01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:23,840 Speaker 1: to two touchdown passes against the Packers, but that's probably 1458 01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:26,640 Speaker 1: the absolute ceiling for Drew Brees at this point in 1459 01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:29,599 Speaker 1: his career. Without Michael Thomas, he's gonna need Alvin Camaro 1460 01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,160 Speaker 1: to do all the dirty work in this one to 1461 01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:34,000 Speaker 1: live up to that se grade. The Monday night game 1462 01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:37,120 Speaker 1: is Kansas City and Baltimore a possible preview of what 1463 01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:39,920 Speaker 1: that's such a fun game. I'm so jealous that you 1464 01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:42,040 Speaker 1: get to preview of this game. It's uh, it's a 1465 01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:44,519 Speaker 1: possible preview of the a f C championship game. Although 1466 01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:46,160 Speaker 1: I think the Steelers are going to find their way 1467 01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:49,439 Speaker 1: into this spot. But we'll say Buffalo might have something. Well, 1468 01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:52,479 Speaker 1: we'll find out. Um, the Vegas number on this is 1469 01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:56,200 Speaker 1: fifty four, and that's wrong. This These are two really 1470 01:19:56,240 --> 01:19:59,920 Speaker 1: good defenses. And to get ready to hear numbers, you're 1471 01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:03,240 Speaker 1: your grades that you are not necessarily expecting to hear. 1472 01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:06,600 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelsey, let's talk about all 1473 01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:08,680 Speaker 1: of them. You're gonna start them all no matter what 1474 01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:12,160 Speaker 1: I say. But this is a difficult matchup. The Ravens 1475 01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:15,240 Speaker 1: completely shut down the passing of Cleveland and Houston so 1476 01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:17,519 Speaker 1: far this year, and Cleveland went on to looked very 1477 01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,960 Speaker 1: good after they got done. Since Week three of last year, 1478 01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:26,360 Speaker 1: the Ravens are allowing one touchdown pass per game. That's it. Now. 1479 01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,960 Speaker 1: What happened in Week three last year, Well, Patrick Mahomes 1480 01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:31,400 Speaker 1: surer for three seventy four yards and three scores. But 1481 01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:36,280 Speaker 1: since then they've been really, really good. Kelsey remains very safe. 1482 01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:39,639 Speaker 1: Baltimore has allowed tight end scores in both games, and 1483 01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:43,200 Speaker 1: that was Darren Fells and David and Joku. And they're 1484 01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:46,519 Speaker 1: hardly you know, it's hardly Travis Kelsey, soh Kelsey remains 1485 01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:50,320 Speaker 1: very safe in my mind. Tyreek Hill I have a 1486 01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:54,080 Speaker 1: B grade on in this matchup because of the difficulty 1487 01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:57,680 Speaker 1: of dealing with both of the excellent cornerbacks that the 1488 01:20:57,800 --> 01:20:59,760 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens give you. Now, if he works out of 1489 01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:02,080 Speaker 1: the lot, he's got a better opportunity, but I'm not 1490 01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:04,559 Speaker 1: positive that this is one of his better games coming up. 1491 01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:08,160 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes also just the B grade, which is unusual. Again, 1492 01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:10,400 Speaker 1: but we're talking about a Baltimore defense that's giving up 1493 01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:15,680 Speaker 1: eleven points per game. Clyde Edwards a layer, just a 1494 01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:19,120 Speaker 1: B grade. Baltimore is allowed a running back rushing score 1495 01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:21,040 Speaker 1: and six of their last nine home games. I like 1496 01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:24,080 Speaker 1: that part. When the Chiefs played Baltimore last year, Lashawn 1497 01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:27,719 Speaker 1: McCoy and Darryl Williams put up a hundred nine combo 1498 01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:30,920 Speaker 1: yards and seven yards per carry. And this year Kareem 1499 01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:32,920 Speaker 1: Hunt and Nick Chubb combined for a hundred thirty two 1500 01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:36,120 Speaker 1: rushing yards against Baltimore and the opener. Still, this is 1501 01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:38,920 Speaker 1: a pretty good run defense despite everything I just said. 1502 01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:40,599 Speaker 1: And they have not allowed a running back to score 1503 01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:43,320 Speaker 1: on the ground or through the air this year, and 1504 01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:45,599 Speaker 1: I do believe there will be an emphasis to get 1505 01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:48,280 Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards a layer going in this game, because Baltimore 1506 01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:52,360 Speaker 1: is easier to run on than pass on. And uh, 1507 01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:56,080 Speaker 1: they didn't get Clyde going last week and they struggled 1508 01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,400 Speaker 1: and kept the Chargers team in it until the very end. 1509 01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:02,000 Speaker 1: I have a nickname submission for review. Are you guys ready? 1510 01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:04,840 Speaker 1: I'm ready. He's got to have a good game, but 1511 01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:08,920 Speaker 1: if he does, we can call him Clyde Edwards Governor. 1512 01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:13,400 Speaker 1: That would only work if it was a London game, 1513 01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:17,640 Speaker 1: but it's not a game, and Colin mccockney needs to 1514 01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:21,240 Speaker 1: actually give that nickname. I think we'll have to. We'll 1515 01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:24,240 Speaker 1: have to find Colin and ask him to to certify 1516 01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:27,400 Speaker 1: that nickname for Clyde Edwards. Hilaire, let's go to the 1517 01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:32,120 Speaker 1: Baltimore side with Lamar Jackson getting Lamar Jackson's got an 1518 01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:34,360 Speaker 1: A grade in this game. But again, I'm kind of 1519 01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:36,439 Speaker 1: nervous here. He faced the Chiefs in Week three last 1520 01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:39,280 Speaker 1: year he had zero touchdowns through the air. He ran 1521 01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:41,880 Speaker 1: one in which helps salvage a fantasy game that all 1522 01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:44,080 Speaker 1: the ways would have been miserable. Maybe it's the same 1523 01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:47,479 Speaker 1: kind of thing this week. Over Kansas City's last nine games. 1524 01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:50,559 Speaker 1: They're giving up just one passing touchdown per game. But 1525 01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:52,680 Speaker 1: both the quarterbacks to face the Chiefs have rushed in 1526 01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:55,360 Speaker 1: to score already this year. Man, so I guess we'll 1527 01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:58,280 Speaker 1: count on him to rush one in. Jackson's receivers, um 1528 01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:01,120 Speaker 1: are not as good as the cornerbacks they're gonna face 1529 01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:02,920 Speaker 1: and you're gonna That's why I've got just a C 1530 01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:06,879 Speaker 1: grade on Markis Brown. He was at exactly five catches 1531 01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:09,479 Speaker 1: in both games thus far. One of those games of 1532 01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:15,200 Speaker 1: five catchess, the other one forty two yards. Marks Brown 1533 01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:18,360 Speaker 1: needs to hit that home run to be fantasy relevant. 1534 01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:20,720 Speaker 1: He's the next Will Fuller. Basically, he is a bit 1535 01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:25,559 Speaker 1: of hopefully slightly stronger hamstrings, very much stronger, let's hope. 1536 01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:28,120 Speaker 1: Um it really it highlights the need for big place 1537 01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:30,519 Speaker 1: here and there's a team that doesn't often give them up. Now, 1538 01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:33,120 Speaker 1: he will run generally from the side of the field 1539 01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:37,400 Speaker 1: that is manned by fourth round rookie Ladarius Snead. You 1540 01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:39,920 Speaker 1: would think fourth round rookie, this should be a very 1541 01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:43,439 Speaker 1: positive matchup for Marcus Brown. But sneed was was has 1542 01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:47,280 Speaker 1: been pressed into service when self described a marijuana enthusiast 1543 01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:51,040 Speaker 1: Brashod Brelan got suspended. Now here's the thing. Sneed has 1544 01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:55,400 Speaker 1: been great. He's got interceptions in both games and is 1545 01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:58,639 Speaker 1: allowing a passer rating of twenty nine in his coverage. 1546 01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:02,599 Speaker 1: We're talking about Willie sne It. I'm confused. No, this 1547 01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:06,360 Speaker 1: is the other other side of the field, Darius Sneed, 1548 01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:12,760 Speaker 1: so advantage Snead Comma Ladarius over Marquis Brown. Just the 1549 01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:15,599 Speaker 1: C grade there, Uh, stick you with the passing game. 1550 01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:18,960 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews gets a B grade. He was almost invisible 1551 01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:20,960 Speaker 1: last week, although they did throw to him in the 1552 01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:22,800 Speaker 1: end zone once then and it was not a good 1553 01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:24,360 Speaker 1: past and he wasn't able to come up with it. 1554 01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:27,759 Speaker 1: This is a tricky matchup against Honey Badger Tyrone Matthew, 1555 01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:31,120 Speaker 1: who generally fares very well against tight ends but well 1556 01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,799 Speaker 1: note Hunter Henry logged six catches for eighty three yards 1557 01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:38,160 Speaker 1: against Kansas City last week. So success can definitely happen 1558 01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:40,720 Speaker 1: for Mark Andrews in this game, and he gets the 1559 01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:43,680 Speaker 1: B grade. Now let's go to this frustrating set of 1560 01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:49,280 Speaker 1: running backs. So for Mark for mark Ingram. He hammered 1561 01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:52,519 Speaker 1: the Chiefs last season in the matchup for one thirty 1562 01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:56,240 Speaker 1: five combo yards and three touchdowns, but this year, in 1563 01:24:56,240 --> 01:25:04,040 Speaker 1: the first two games, he's averaging nine kerry nine times. Meanwhile, 1564 01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:08,400 Speaker 1: Gus Edwards is averaging almost seven yards per carry and 1565 01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:11,040 Speaker 1: j K. Dobbins has siphoned off gold line carries and 1566 01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:14,120 Speaker 1: some garbage time usage. The Chiefs are a middle of 1567 01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:17,680 Speaker 1: the pack run defense in virtually every single way, and 1568 01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:19,840 Speaker 1: I think the Ravens will have some success running the ball, 1569 01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:22,960 Speaker 1: but does it come via Ingram and does he get 1570 01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:25,880 Speaker 1: enough volume? So really just the C grade on mark 1571 01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:29,040 Speaker 1: Ingram and I can't go to J. K. Dobbins or 1572 01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:33,720 Speaker 1: Gus Edwards. Dobbins just three touches last week. Maybe gets 1573 01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:35,880 Speaker 1: helped out through the passing game as a receiver, but 1574 01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:38,479 Speaker 1: then he's a very He's a very accomplished receiver in college, 1575 01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:40,800 Speaker 1: but they don't use him that way so far. Maybe 1576 01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:42,680 Speaker 1: they have furl him here in the receiving game, but 1577 01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:44,880 Speaker 1: I can't count on that. So I got Dobbins on 1578 01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:47,280 Speaker 1: the bench, Gus Edwards not getting enough use, even though 1579 01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,759 Speaker 1: he looked really good last week, He's on the bench 1580 01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:53,120 Speaker 1: as well. I think this is gonna be a far 1581 01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:58,439 Speaker 1: lower scoring team game than Kansas City versus Baltimore Monday night. 1582 01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:00,840 Speaker 1: Sounds like, and I've got it's gonna be like that 1583 01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:03,960 Speaker 1: Chiefs Rams Mexico game where they scored a hundred points. 1584 01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:07,960 Speaker 1: Maybe it ends up working out that way. I want 1585 01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:12,719 Speaker 1: to touch on the Thursday night game. Miles Gaskin running 1586 01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:16,679 Speaker 1: the ball very, very well for Miami. Do you believe 1587 01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:20,520 Speaker 1: Miles Gaskin has moved into a stratosphere where he becomes 1588 01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:24,400 Speaker 1: a starter most weeks. Yeah, he looks like the best 1589 01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:26,559 Speaker 1: running back on roster right now. I'm a little worried 1590 01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:30,439 Speaker 1: about Jordan Howard as bad as he looks, being a 1591 01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:34,519 Speaker 1: touchdown vulture. I gotta give vulture sound effect because he 1592 01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:38,919 Speaker 1: is the vulture. I gotta give credit to Evans Silva 1593 01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:44,160 Speaker 1: on this tweet. He extrapolated Howard's numbers moving forward. Howard 1594 01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:46,719 Speaker 1: is on pace for like eighties six carries for sixty 1595 01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:51,120 Speaker 1: four yards and sixteen touchdowns. But outside of that, yeah, 1596 01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:53,000 Speaker 1: Gaskins is gonna be the guy. He'll still get some 1597 01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:55,920 Speaker 1: red red zone work he did on Thursday night. Uh. 1598 01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:59,320 Speaker 1: The encouraging thing is he's averaging uh, seventeen and a 1599 01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:02,800 Speaker 1: half touch is per game. That amazing. That's very encouraging. 1600 01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:06,160 Speaker 1: Considering everybody kind of thought Matt Brita would be really 1601 01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:09,880 Speaker 1: involved in in at least the passing office. And Scott 1602 01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:12,400 Speaker 1: fish nailed this in the preseason when he said the 1603 01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:16,520 Speaker 1: vacated targets for the running back position for the Dolphins 1604 01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:21,360 Speaker 1: was just absolutely huge. And that's why four receptions, six receptions, 1605 01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,760 Speaker 1: five receptions for Gaskin. That keeps him in play. Now. 1606 01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:27,519 Speaker 1: He hasn't scored yet, and he's only averaging eighty one 1607 01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:31,479 Speaker 1: yards per game, but he's in play at all times. 1608 01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:34,639 Speaker 1: And I think he's going to become better when ta 1609 01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:37,120 Speaker 1: becomes the quarterback and adds a little bit more of 1610 01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:40,439 Speaker 1: a running element to the quarterback position. Miles Gaskin passes 1611 01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:43,120 Speaker 1: the eye test. He is an NFL running back and 1612 01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:45,600 Speaker 1: I like what I see there. Let's pivot for a 1613 01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:48,920 Speaker 1: minute to Tua going into the season. I think most 1614 01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:51,679 Speaker 1: people believe to his time was coming sooner than later. 1615 01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:55,800 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick's been good, and but you know that guy 1616 01:27:55,960 --> 01:28:00,479 Speaker 1: is he stone cold gamer, has nothing but fight. The 1617 01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:03,680 Speaker 1: team loves him too that you absolutely love playing for 1618 01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:05,920 Speaker 1: that and to it loves him too from the way 1619 01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:09,000 Speaker 1: it sounds. So I think at this point we are 1620 01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:12,720 Speaker 1: looking closer to like a Halloween or Thanksgiving. It might 1621 01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:15,080 Speaker 1: take an injury, and it might maybe it's even all season. 1622 01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:17,200 Speaker 1: It could be all season, It could be and we 1623 01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:20,800 Speaker 1: may not see two effects.
