00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice.

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: Now here's your host, Paul Chargian.

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 3: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchian. My

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 3: co host today Thor Nstrom and making his first appearance

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 3: in two months.

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 4: Brian Johnson, you are back, my man.

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: What's up? Boys, Good to be here. I've missed you.

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: You missed you a lot.

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 3: I've I've been thinking about both of you a lot

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 3: this week because and not to start this offen in

12
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 3: any way a Maudlin approach, because this is a fantasy football,

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 3: a game that we love to play, but you have

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 3: both lost parents recently. My parents came and visited me

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 3: in Utah, and I was thinking of you both. There

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: is no age at which I'm in my fifties, there

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 3: is no age at which you do not crave your parents' approval.

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 3: And having my parents come down see me in Utah,

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 3: tell me that they love the house and how Utah

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: is and you know, the scenery, it was just it

21
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 3: meant so much, and I felt bad that you both

22
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 3: have lost parents recently and you were on my mind

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 3: this week.

24
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 2: I wanted to tell you that at the outset, we

25
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: appreciate that.

26
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, charge, thanks a lot and the kind words you

27
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: said towards the end of the episode a couple of

28
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: weeks ago.

29
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: It means a lot.

30
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, Thora's mom was a legend behind the mic,

31
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: just like he is. My dad, a legendary fantasy player.

32
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: I've taken over one of his leagues with It's still

33
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: all pen and paper. It's a huge pain in my ass,

34
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: but I'm still doing it. It's a retro. It's retro

35
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: as you can get.

36
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: And you know what, this show's thirty one years old.

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: That's as retro as it gets too.

38
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: And we're going to bring you all the stuff that

39
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: you normally get from Fantasy Football Weekly. We'll take a

40
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 3: chance on nine different players. We'll answer three tough questions,

41
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: we'll give you some premature speculation players, and will break

42
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: down every game FFW style with letter grades on every player.

43
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 4: We begin with the London game.

44
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 3: Brian no Pooka Nakua for the Rams as they take

45
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 3: on Jacksonville. Let's start with the passing game without the

46
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: league's leading receiver.

47
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: More importantly, no Colin mccochney for this London game. They're

48
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: just gonna do the old USA accident or whatever it is.

49
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, no Puoka, big bummer.

50
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: But DeVante Adams certainly a viable wide receiver one he

51
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: gets an A grade here. Leads the NFL with thirteen

52
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: red zone targets. Jacksonville is top three in opponent passing

53
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: play percentage, and they have allowed the fourth most catches

54
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: and third most yards to wide receivers. So in a

55
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: grade for Devonte Adams. Jordan Whittington is gonna step in.

56
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: Let's not step in for Pooka Nakua. I'm giving him

57
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: a B first, just I was just gonna see it's

58
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: Jordan Whittington, but I like, I like the matchup. Devanta

59
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: Adams is gonna draw a ton of attention. Sough A

60
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: B for Jordan Whittington to to ad Well, he's DFS

61
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: start to me, he can't give him a starting grade here.

62
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: I am giving Tyler Higbee a see over the last

63
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: five weeks of posing tight ends or averaging six catches

64
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: sixty yards per game against the Jags, who have also

65
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: surrendered a tight end touchdown and two of their last three.

66
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: So I like all those pass catchers. So a B

67
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: for Matt Stafford. Obviously, no Puka sucks, but the Jaguars

68
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 1: have allowed three hundred plus passing yards endoor multiple scores

69
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: in three straight games, and they are a pass funnel defense.

70
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: For that reason, I'm only given Kyron Williams a see

71
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: the last ram.

72
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: I'll talk about at least eighty combo yards end or

73
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown in every game, so he's providing a safe floor.

74
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: Does have spike week potential, especially when he's on fumbling

75
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: at the goal line, but probably not this week and

76
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: not the best spot.

77
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: No.

78
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: One loan rusher has topped sixty yards on the ground

79
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: against the Jags. Only one back has scored a rushing

80
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: touchdown on them. That was Kareem Hunt, who actually had two.

81
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: But opposing backs are averaging six catches per game over

82
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: Jacksonville's last three against the Jaguars, so that bodes well

83
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: for william You're not gonna bench in he gets a

84
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: c over to the Jaguar side, starting with their back

85
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: Travis etn A c for him was red hot in September,

86
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: but over the last two weeks three point one seven

87
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: yards per carry. That's RB thirty six, a zero point

88
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: zero percent explosive rush rate.

89
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: Zero forced misstackles over the last.

90
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: Two weeks, but he Etn did see two tough run

91
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: defenses over that span, Kansas City and Seattle. Sadly, this

92
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: is not a great matchup either. Zero rushing touchdowns allowed

93
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: to running backs by the Rams so far. Just one

94
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: receiving touchdown has been surrendered to the position. That was

95
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, who's targeted nine times in that game.

96
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: Oh okay nine times.

97
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: So just a c for Travis Etn to the passing

98
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: game though. Brian Thomas Junior BTJ he gets an A

99
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: posted a thirty seven percent First Street target share in

100
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: week six. That is elite. Unfortunately had a touchdown callback

101
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: on penalty as well. We should have had a monster game.

102
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: He has now posted a first three target share north

103
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: of thirty five percent in two of his last three games.

104
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: Big games are coming for BTJ, and it's probably gonna

105
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: come this week against the Rams. Outside of last week

106
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, and that was with Cooper Rush in bad weather,

107
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: opposing number one wide receivers have posted one hundred plus

108
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: yards end or a touchdown in three straight. That's Kendrick Bourne,

109
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman, and AJ Brown. I like BTJ the most

110
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: amongst those three, so I like him with an A.

111
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: I don't like Travis Hunter, especially in this three IDP league.

112
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm in where I drafted him in the second round,

113
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: where I could play him at cornerback. Think he was

114
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: a cheat code wide receiver seventy four in PPR right now,

115
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: and you don't get a lot of points from cornerbacks either.

116
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: Usually want to play a safety in that spot. So

117
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: I got him on the bench. A big game's probably coming,

118
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: but when it comes, he's gonna be on the bench

119
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: for me. You can't trust him right now. Can't trust

120
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: Parker Washington or Diami Brown. They're on the bench. So

121
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: is Hunter long tight end with Brenton Strange on IR,

122
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: I thought he was the guy last week in a

123
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: smash spot saw too much Johnny Munt kind of a

124
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: split there. And lastly Trevor Lawrence. This is my stickiest

125
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: matchup by the way. Jalen Hurts, Daniel Jones, Mac Jones,

126
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: great games against the Rams, CJ. Stroud, cam Ward and

127
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: the Baltimore backups.

128
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: Bad games. Which group do we put Trevor Lawrence in?

129
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 2: I'm kind of.

130
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: Throwing right between. Yes, I'll give Lawrence a C. I'm

131
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: hoping for a shootout here in London, so I'll give

132
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: him a C. And that is it for this.

133
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 3: A lot more on Travis Hunter later in this show.

134
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: We'll break down what to think about him going forward.

135
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: We'll talk that through in just a few minutes. Surprise

136
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 3: C grade for Kyried Williams coming out of Brian. I

137
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: don't know if I can go quite that low on him,

138
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 3: but we'll see how that plays out. For Let's go

139
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 3: over to Indianapolis taking on the Chargers. Josh Downs has

140
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: been ruled out. Ashton Dulan's been ruled out. That means

141
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: we could have some extra passes funneling to some other players,

142
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: including Tyler Warren, who I think is sitting on potentially

143
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 3: a monster g. Let's start with the passing offense for

144
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: the Colts.

145
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: I definitely agree with that.

146
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 5: Tyler Warren is a must start with an A gray

147
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 5: and already leads the team in targets and first reads.

148
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 5: He's gonna get plenty more targets in this game as well.

149
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,119
Speaker 5: Makes him a smash play. One other thing I mentioned

150
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 5: about Tyler Warren. Chargers play zone coverage roughly eighty percent

151
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 5: of the time. Tyler Warren very very good against zone

152
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 5: coverage so far in his young career. Moving to the

153
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 5: quarterback there, Daniel Jones also give him an A. Daniel

154
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 5: Jones has finished as a top twelve scoring fantasy quarterback

155
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 5: in four of six games this season.

156
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: This is a tougher matchup for him. You have to

157
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: concede it.

158
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 5: The Chargers are allowing the third fewest schedule adjusted fantasy

159
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 5: points to opposing quarterbacks, but still bullish in Daniel Jones.

160
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: Give him an A.

161
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 5: I like this offense. Jonathan Taylor is a must start.

162
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 5: Of course, the Chargers their run defense has been struggling

163
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 5: their bottom eight yards per carry en success rate allowed,

164
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 5: so Jonathan Taylor remains must start. Josh Doallins is out

165
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 5: for this game, as Churchy mentioned, because of a concussion,

166
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 5: which means Michael Pittman is also in line for more

167
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 5: targets in this game wide receiver twenty two and fantasy

168
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 5: points per game. Michael Pittman to this point, he was

169
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 5: less involved the last two weeks cumulative receiving line in

170
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 5: those two games seven catches for fifty nine yards and

171
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 5: a touchdown on nine targets. He is going to get

172
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 5: that target bump with Josh Doowns out. So I'm gonna

173
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 5: give Michael Pittman a b Alec Pierce I would say

174
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 5: standard Lee's remained on the bench, but if you are

175
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 5: desperate within lieu of that downs news, he could be

176
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 5: potentially startable, but I'm gonna give him the bench grade

177
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 5: move into the chargers justin Herbert, of course, remains a

178
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 5: must start.

179
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 2: He's going to continue to carry.

180
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 5: Your moments part of that offense with Omarki Hampton out

181
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 5: and we'll get to the running back room there in

182
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 5: a second. The Colts also have beat up in the secondary.

183
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 5: They just allowed three hundred and seventy five passing earns

184
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 5: three touchdowns last time out. Kamani Vidal, I'm gonna give

185
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 5: him a bee, my boy, Kamani Vidal final man.

186
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 2: I had to wait for that one, but we finally

187
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: got it last week.

188
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 5: Then we one year later, one year later, Yeah, with

189
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 5: Omar and Hampton and Nadre Harris continue still on ir.

190
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 5: It's gonna be Vidal again here. We weren't sure heading

191
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 5: into last week. You gon to go Haskins, you gonna

192
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 5: go Vidal. Vadal was the clear workhorse there. He finished

193
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 5: with twenty one touches last week, one hundred and thirty

194
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 5: eight total yards finished as Fantasy's RB nine for last week,

195
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 5: ended up playing sixty seven percent of the snaps and

196
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 5: at eighteen of twenty four carries for the running back room.

197
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 5: Now that was against the Dolphins, you know, about as

198
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 5: worse as you can get for a run defense.

199
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: Colts a little bit better.

200
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 5: Dy've allowed the eighth few as fantasy points per game

201
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 5: to the running back position. So I settled on a

202
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 5: bee for Kamani Vidal. I also give Lad mcconky a bee.

203
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 5: Finally had his breakout game. We didn't have to wait

204
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 5: quite as long for Ladd mcconkey's, but his first one

205
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 5: at twenty twenty five, he lights up the Dolphins for

206
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 5: seven catches, one hundred yards and a touchdown last week.

207
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 5: With Quinton Johnston out Quinton Johnson coming back here, but

208
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 5: with Lad McConkey establishing himself, I still like him for

209
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 5: a be, especially against the Colts here, who have allowed

210
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 5: the second most schedule adjusted Fantasy points to opposing wide receivers.

211
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: I give Keenan Allen a B.

212
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 5: I thought it was interesting the usage with Quinton Johnson

213
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 5: out last week Keenan Allen has continued to get seven

214
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 5: or more targets in every single game.

215
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: These usage didn't change whatsoever with Quinton Johnson out.

216
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 5: So with Quinton Johnston back to me, that's it doesn't

217
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 5: matter his Keenan Allen's role is what it is. And again,

218
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 5: a pretty good matchup here with Quinton Johnson, you know,

219
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 5: seemingly looking like he is going to play in this game,

220
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 5: but us not exactly knowing, you know, will he play

221
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 5: full snaps everything like that. I'm gonna give Quinton Johnson

222
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 5: a C for this matchup because I'm kind of leaning

223
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 5: some of the other options with Quinton Johnson working his

224
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 5: way back and one of those options.

225
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 2: Maybe boys are gonna think this is too bullish.

226
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 5: What do you think about a beat grade for Ronda

227
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 5: Gadson in this one?

228
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 4: That does seem a little optimistic.

229
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 3: Look, I know there's some there's some gonna be some

230
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 3: good underlying metrics here, but we've seen with will Disley

231
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 3: coming back, we have seen a slightly diminished snap for

232
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: Ronde Gadsten.

233
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 5: We could toggle this one to a see with Quinton

234
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 5: Johnson see you know again seemingly is going to play

235
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 5: this weekend but I do like Gadson caught seven of

236
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 5: eight targets for sixty at receiving yards last week, finishes

237
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 5: tight end twelve in fantasy. You know here against Indian

238
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 5: naw Boys, they've allowed the tenth most receiving yards.

239
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: Two tight ends.

240
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 5: But with Quinton Johnson back again, you have a lot

241
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 5: of moles defeat. So I'll toggle that down to a

242
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 5: sea for Gadson.

243
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: If you bought early on Lad McConkie, who had struggled

244
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 3: through the first part of the season so much better lately.

245
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: Johnston goes out last week, McConkie gets.

246
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: A big game.

247
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: What it'll be interesting to see with Quinton Johnston back,

248
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: does Lad McConkie stay as active as he was last week?

249
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 3: Philadelphia takes on Minnesota. Let's start on the Philadelphia side

250
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: for Jalen Hurts a grade as usual. Minnesota's pass defense

251
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 3: great on paper and maybe in reality, but they've also

252
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 3: faced arguably the easiest set of opposing quarterbacks this year,

253
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 3: So unclear if Minnesota is really a stopper pass defense,

254
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 3: you're gonna start jailing anyway. You get your Jach pushes

255
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 3: and you'll play him anyhow. Aj Brown's fascinating. Only one

256
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 3: receiver has posted a good game against Minnesota.

257
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: It was DK Metcalf.

258
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: Nobody is Metcalf's physical equal, but Aj Brown's pretty close

259
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 3: to that. The Vikings two starting cornerbacks are small, and

260
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 3: then when they go to their third cornerback, the bigger

261
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: Jeff Okuda, well, he's just awful in coverage. He's cornerback

262
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: one hundred and forty two by Pro Football Focus. In coverage,

263
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 3: he's allowing a one hundred percent completion rate in his coverage.

264
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: So Brown can win on size against the Vikings starter cornerbacks,

265
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 3: or they can just he can win on ability against

266
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: Jeff Okuda. So one way or another, I've got a

267
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 3: B grade on Aj Brown, who's been fed the ball

268
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 3: more lately for DeVante Smith. This gets really interesting as well,

269
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 3: because you know, here's Smith. He's scored in just one game.

270
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 3: He's top sixty yards in just one game. They'd love

271
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 3: to get him some spike work here, but he's gonna

272
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: get a lot of star cornerback Isaiah Rogers, He's Pro

273
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 3: Football Focus is number one ranked coverage cornerback.

274
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: Now.

275
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 3: Brian Flores rarely asks his cornerbacks to shadow, but if

276
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 3: there's ever a time to do it, it's right here.

277
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 3: Because he's too small for a J Brown, John Dotson

278
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 3: does is no threat. I'd love to see how Isaiah

279
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: Rodgers follow Davonte Smith round, and because of the threat

280
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: of that, I'm gonna put just a C grade on

281
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: Devonte Smith. Dallas Godder comes in with a B grade.

282
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 3: He leads all tight ends and touchdowns with five despite

283
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 3: missing a game, and over the past two weeks he's

284
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 3: been pelted with twenty targets. Last week, Minnesota allowed two

285
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 3: touchdowns to Dylan Gabriel's tight ends and Gabriel's first ever start.

286
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 3: So I like Dallas Goddard here, who comes in with

287
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: a B grade. Saquon Barkley such a disappointing season. I'm

288
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 3: gonna give you some stats among runbacks with at least

289
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 3: fifty carries, so there's like starting running backs. Here is

290
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 3: where Saquon Barkley ranks. Rushing yards twenty second, yards per carry,

291
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: thirtieth yards before contact, twenty third yards after contact, thirtieth,

292
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 3: avoided tackle rate thirty first. This is Saquon Barkley we're

293
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 3: talking about. This is the reigning offensive Player of the Year,

294
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 3: ranking in the twenties and thirties and all these key

295
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 3: rushing metrics, it is obviously you're going to start him.

296
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: Minnesota's run defenses middle of the pack.

297
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 3: They've shut The only running back that they've really shut

298
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 3: down has been Chase Brown and in recent weeks, but

299
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: John Robinson, Kenneth Gainwell, Quinjohn Judkins big games in three

300
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: of the last four. Landon Dickerson may or may not

301
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: come back, we still don't know yet. On the offensive line,

302
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 3: b great for Saquon Barkley. Over to the Viking side

303
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 3: where Carson Wentz is your confirmed starter. Justin Jefferson remains

304
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: in auto A and he's been far better with Wentz

305
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: than he was with JJ McCarthy, so we're just.

306
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: Gonna put him right back into your lineup.

307
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 3: For Jordan Addison, I worry that he's going to be

308
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: sacrificed to the side of the field that Quinyon Mitchell plays,

309
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 3: because that puts Justin Jefferson on the other side of

310
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: the field where a Dory Jackson is. He's Pro Football

311
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 3: focuses one hundred and seventh best cornerback. Jefferson would just

312
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 3: destroy that matchup. So I'm a little bit worried that

313
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: Addison's gonna get hung out to dry on the wrong

314
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 3: side of the field because Quinyon Mitchell's really good. So

315
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: just a C grade on Jordan Addison in this one.

316
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: For TJ. Hockinson.

317
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 3: Vikings offensive line is getting healthier, so maybe we won't

318
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 3: have to stay in and chip quite as much.

319
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 4: Over the last two games, TJ.

320
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 3: Hockinson, who has been forced to chip, has had a

321
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 3: dots of just four yards in one yard. It is

322
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 3: hard to get anything done when you're catching the ball

323
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 3: just four and one yard downfield. The Eagles are the

324
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: third best fantasy defense against tight ends. Only one tight

325
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 3: end has scored a touchdown against Philly, only one is

326
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: top thirty three yards. It's a tricky matchup. I don't

327
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 3: love Hockinson here, especially if it turns out right tackle

328
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 3: Brian O'Neill can't go, and that's currently unknown, then we're

329
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 3: back to chipping with TJ.

330
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: Hopkinson C grade.

331
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 3: For him and rounding out the passing game for Minnesota,

332
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: Carson Wentz's he will be your starter Philadelphia. Overall, very

333
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: good pass defense, especially if Jalen Carter can come back.

334
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: As of this taping on Friday, that is still unclear.

335
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 3: Four of six opposing quarterbacks to face Philadelphia have n't

336
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 3: even topped to one hundred and ninety six yards, so

337
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 3: I don't see a ton of upside here for Carson Wentz,

338
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 3: but should be good enough that you could start him

339
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 3: in like super flex leagues as your second guy. Bason

340
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 3: another opportunity to be the lead back for the Vikings.

341
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 3: Cam Scattabo just destroyed the Eagles run defense last week,

342
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 3: but again that was without Jaalen Carter in the middle.

343
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 3: We don't know if he's gonna go. Last year, the

344
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: Eagles defense was awesome. This year shockingly mundane. When we

345
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 3: come back, take a chance on me nine players that

346
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 3: you can take a chance on. Many of these guys

347
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 3: available on the waiver wire. We'll tell you who they

348
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 3: are when we return to Fantasy Football week.

349
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 2: Take a chance.

350
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 4: This is your chance to find nine players upon whom

351
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 4: you can.

352
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 2: Take a chance. I'll take a chance. I mean we

353
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: begin at the quarterback position and Trian Johnson.

354
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: I got CJ. Stroud at Seattle, who is top ten

355
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: in the most passing yards and passing touchdowns allowed. It's

356
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: the bad top ten for Seattle, the good top ten

357
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: for CJ.

358
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: Stroud.

359
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: The Seahawks also fourth an opponent passing play percentage, and

360
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: their entire secondary is questionable. Yet again, both starting safeties

361
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: and cornerbacks in danger of missing this game one hundred

362
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: percent if they play.

363
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 2: So I like CJ.

364
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: Stroud on Monday Night against Darnold in my Seahawks.

365
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 2: All right, let's go over to Thor. Your take a

366
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: chance on me.

367
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 5: Quarterback Thor is Dylan Gabriel against oh in.

368
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 2: The Weather game. No less? Okay, yeah, and you know

369
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: Weather Game.

370
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 5: He's finished QB nineteen, QB twenty seven and weekly scoring.

371
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: But this is a sneaky good matchup.

372
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 5: To use Gabriel if you're desperate or in a super

373
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 5: flex league. Dolphins defense is horrible as we all know,

374
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 5: and I'm pretty confident Quinn sewn Jukins is going to

375
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 5: keep that Browns offense on schedule. Should pave the road

376
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 5: to multiple trips, several trips maybe into the red zone

377
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 5: for potential TD opportunities. That Dolphins have allowed the second

378
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 5: most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season through six weeks.

379
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 5: They turned Daniel Jones into the QB two, They turned

380
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 5: Drake Mane to the QB three, turn Josh Allen KB

381
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 5: five turn justin fields into the QB four the serious issues.

382
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 5: There one other thing to watch, especially in weather game.

383
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 5: Down there at the goal line. Dolphins defense given up

384
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 5: four rushing touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks. Could Gabriel scramble in

385
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 5: for one? Either way, I think he's worth taking a

386
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 5: chance on this week.

387
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 4: In a few minutes, there is gonna break down that game.

388
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 3: I'm excited to hear about Harold Fannin with Djoku out

389
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 3: how high it is, throw nice to him?

390
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: On him?

391
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a letter grade just which one might

392
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 3: take a jats vie. Quarterback Spencer Rattler going up against

393
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 3: the Bears. Guess who's playing good ball? Spencer Rattler.

394
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 4: He's got the fifth best touchdown to interception ratio and

395
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 4: since a bad opening game, Spencer Rattler completing seventy one

396
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 4: percent of his passes.

397
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 2: What are we talking about right now? Now?

398
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 3: It hasn't been like explosive play from Spencer Ratler, but

399
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: it could come here against Chicago. Spencer Rattler, your third

400
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: and final take a chance at me quarterback.

401
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 4: Let's go to the running back position. Brian, who you got?

402
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with the Houston Seattle game. But I've got

403
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: Seattle Zach Sharbonay against the Texans. Of course, since week four,

404
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: Sharbonay owns a fifty four percent APPS share. Last week,

405
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker only saw thirty five percent of Seattle's offensive snaps.

406
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: But more importantly, since week four, Sharboney has handled thirteen

407
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: of the nineteen running back red zone carries for Seattle,

408
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: and now Houston owns the third lowest stuff rate with

409
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: the fourth highest missed tackle rate. Those are great numbers

410
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: for Sharboney. Houston also the eleventh highest yards after contact

411
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: per attempt rate owned, and they have surrendered the second

412
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: highest success rate to zone runs, which is right up

413
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: Seattle's wheelhouse.

414
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 2: So I like Sharbonay Monday night.

415
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 3: The way you beat Houston is on the ground or

416
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 3: your take a chance on me. Running back is who.

417
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 5: Titans running back Taj Spears against the Patriots. Spears played

418
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 5: in just twenty five percent of the snaps when he

419
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 5: returned in week five off ir but last week ends

420
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 5: up playing more snaps than twenty Pollard. Taj played fifty

421
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 5: nine percent of the snaps, ends with nine touches for

422
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 5: fifty yards.

423
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 2: The Patriots are a really, really.

424
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 5: Tough matchup opponent when for the opposing running backs on

425
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 5: the ground, Yes, Patriots have given the four fewest rushing

426
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 5: yards per game and yards per carry to opposing running backs,

427
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 5: but the Patriots have struggled against receiving backs. They've allowed

428
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 5: the tenth most receiving yards and tenth most yards per

429
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 5: reception to opposing running backs.

430
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: I think Tad J.

431
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 5: Spears is a sneaky good play this week, so you

432
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 5: might take a chance on me running back.

433
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 3: Never let it be said I can learn a lesson

434
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 3: on this show because I'm going to the well for

435
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 3: the third straight week for Kendra Miller, the Saints running back,

436
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 3: despite the fact that we've had middling results the last

437
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: two times.

438
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 2: Here's why.

439
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: It's Chicago, same game that I just mentioned a few

440
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 3: moments ago. This is his easiest matchup of the year

441
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 3: so far. Chicago allowing the fifth most fantasy points to runners,

442
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 3: second most rushing yards to runners one hundred and twenty

443
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 3: six per game. And here's Miller having a breakout season

444
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 3: among players. With Kendrey Miller's forty six carries, he is

445
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 3: fourth best in broken tackle rate and tenth in yards

446
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 3: after contact. Kendray Miller's playing really well and this is

447
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 3: his best matchup of the season.

448
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try him one more time.

449
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 4: I will not use him a fourth time next week's show.

450
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 2: I will not mention Kendre Miller. I promise. All right,

451
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 2: let's go to the receivers. Brian, who is your Take

452
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: a chance from your receiver.

453
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: My receiver is a tight end Carolina tight end Jatavian

454
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: Sanders coming off injury at the Jets. The Jets have

455
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: surrendered six tight end touchdowns already.

456
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: Five have come over the last three games.

457
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: Fifteen is the number of tight end catches allowed by

458
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: the Jets over the last two games. Sanders will slide

459
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: right into the starting lineup, putting Tommy Trumble back on

460
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: the bench.

461
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: He's should be readily available out there.

462
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: I highly recommend go adding Sanders if you're in need

463
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: of tight end this week.

464
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 3: There's a Jetavian Sanders angle for those people that maybe

465
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 3: have Mark Anders or Dalton kinkaid on by thor your

466
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 3: receiver powers out.

467
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right.

468
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 5: Anytime you have a seventh thrown rookie that thinks he's

469
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 5: getting MVP chance after he catches a touchdown pass from

470
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 5: a legitimate MVP candidate. You're gonna be might take a

471
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 5: chance let me receiver the next week, So come on down,

472
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 5: Tes Johnson, the rookie Bucks wide receiver. Bucks are playing

473
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 5: the Detroit Lions this weekend. Tes saw his routes jump

474
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 5: from forty nine percent to eighty four percent last week.

475
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 5: He's gonna get the same workload this week with a

476
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 5: mecha Buka. Chris Godwin both out and Mike Evans currently

477
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 5: being designated as a game time decision and seems like

478
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 5: a true game time decision there. So the Bucks obviously

479
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 5: decimated there. Even if Evans plays, it's not going to

480
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 5: affect Test Johnson's role in any way.

481
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 2: Uh, just based on the way the wide receiver hierarchy is.

482
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 5: Test's post of fifty nine and forty five receiving yards

483
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 5: the last two games, I like him to top both

484
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 5: those numbers in this game against the ravaged Lions secondary.

485
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 2: The Bucks need him.

486
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: I'm going to give you another tight end you can use,

487
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 3: and that's Tampa Bay tight end Cad Atton, who Mike

488
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 3: Evans out, Chris Godwin out, Amika Ebuka out a unexpected

489
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 3: to play Monday Night over the past two weeks, on

490
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 3: his caught one hundred and thirty two yards a pass. Now, importantly,

491
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 3: last year, there was a stretch of five games where

492
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 3: Evans and Godwin both missed on exploded. Over those five games,

493
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 3: he was tightened two when Evans and Godwin were out.

494
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 3: Last year, that offense went largely through him. He averaged

495
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 3: seventeen PPR points per game. Lions of the opponent their

496
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 3: mediocre tight end defense. They just allowed one hundred yards

497
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 3: to the Chiefs tight ends last week, Kay Dooten, A

498
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 3: nice Monday night pivot for your team. All right, Brian,

499
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 3: let's get back to the matchups. Carolina takes on the

500
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 3: New York Jets. You gotta start with Rico Dowdell talking

501
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 3: this one right, I mean four hundred and seventy three yards.

502
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 4: We're going to talk more about Dowdell later on the show.

503
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chuba Hubbard is making his return.

504
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: And now there are reports that the Panthers have internally

505
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: made a decision on who will start at running back

506
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: and get the majority of carries. But Dave Canal's will

507
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: refuse is to divulge witch running back.

508
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 2: Well, I have an idea who it might be.

509
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: After reading what Canal said after Rico Dowdle on after

510
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: the win against the Cowboys. Rico Dado ran with violence,

511
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: a man on a mission that makes that wants to

512
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: make yards. He takes our schemes and makes them come alive.

513
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,719
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna go with Rico Dawdle in this one.

514
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: So I'm giving Rico in a grade. I think Chewba

515
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: Hubbard is the backup. Now you have to give Dowdle

516
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: the rock. And against the Jets, who have allowed huge

517
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: games to James Cook, Devon a Chan, Javonte Williams, they

518
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: can't keep their defense off the field. The Jet scan

519
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: a grade Rico Dalladle, I'm gonna ride the lightning here.

520
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: I will give Hubbard to see though, in a good matchup,

521
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna run the ball a ton against New York.

522
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: For that reason, tedro Ro McMillan, he's the only wide

523
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: receiver that gets a starting grade CE. That is, the

524
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: Jets have surrender just two wide receiver touchdowns since Week two,

525
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: and only Ryan flowerny floor Noy has one hundred yards

526
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: against New York all season. So Xavier Leguet and Jalen Kocher,

527
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: making his return from ir We'll talk more about him

528
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: later in the show. But there on the bench in

529
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: this game, Jetavian Sanders is not might take a chance

530
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: on me receiver. He's a tight end, of course, But

531
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: Bryce Young on the bench as well. The Jets are

532
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: the only team with an opponent passing play percentage under

533
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: fifty percent. They just get run on all day long.

534
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: So Bryce Young is on the bench for the Jets.

535
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: Pretty much everyone on the bench except fall. Carolina's run

536
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: defense has been very good. Jon Robinson, Devon eight Chan,

537
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams all posted season lows and combo yards against Carolina.

538
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: But the usage will be there for Hall, He'll catch

539
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: some passes he gets a see. Garrett Wilson has been

540
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: ruled out. I'm not going with any other wide receivers

541
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: on the Jets in this one. I do like Mason

542
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: Taylor a lot, though rookie tight end, giving him a

543
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: bee a posting tight averaging more than seven catches and

544
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: seventy yards per game against the Panthers, who have also

545
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: surrendered a score to the position in three straight games.

546
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: So borderline A for Mason Taylor if I'm gonna stick

547
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: with a B. And lastly, Justin Fields. I'll give him

548
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: a courtesy c. The Panthers have surrendered multiple passing scores

549
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: in three straight games. I wish he had Garrett Wilson

550
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: with the rushing. You know, the rushing ability gives him

551
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: a ceiling. So a see for Fields. I don't think

552
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: Fields finishes the game possible. I think Tyrod Taylor ends

553
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: up finishing this game. We'll see, I see it.

554
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 4: We don't want bad things.

555
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: Up for players. But this is a very volatile situation.

556
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 3: Speaking of volatility, or here we are, it's only mid October,

557
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 3: Rocket already talking about a weather game in Cleveland where

558
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 3: there is talk of thunderstorms, wins, consistent wins into the

559
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 3: thirty miles an hour gusting if to fifty miles an hour.

560
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 3: This thing could turn very ugly in Cleveland. What do

561
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 3: you think about the opportunities to score? Let's start of

562
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 3: the Miami side. What do you think about the Miami side. Well, okay,

563
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 3: I'm I'm not gonna mow your lawn totally. I'll tell

564
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 3: you what I think is gonna happen. Nobody can run

565
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: against Cleveland because of the best run defense in the league.

566
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 3: To noodle arm Tula can't throw through the wind. He

567
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: can't slice to the wind. I don't think Miami's scoring

568
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 3: many points, if any, in the well not I'm not

569
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 3: going to predict a shutout, but I don't like Miami

570
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 3: in this matchup.

571
00:27:58,520 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 2: I don't really either.

572
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 5: Starting with Tua Tago bay loa KEP twenty four and

573
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 5: Fantasy points per game right now, he's sort of starting

574
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 5: to remind me Church local flavor here of a point

575
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 5: guard like Mike Conley at the end of his career

576
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 5: to his thirty fifth and a dot right now six

577
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 5: point seven evere depth the target there, Yeah, more that

578
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 5: likely coming against this Browns defense. This game has the

579
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 5: lowest total on the NFL board by a full three points.

580
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 5: This week, Church, you mentioned the weather. I was thinking

581
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 5: of giving him what what ad Brian say is great

582
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 5: was for for Bryce young bench, but I thought you

583
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 5: gave with a see for I'm gonna I'm gonna give

584
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 5: to a bench grade here. I was considering the mercy

585
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 5: see but I'm gonna get Devin auching Is remains a

586
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 5: must start even in a game like this.

587
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: The noodle alarm two are gonna be thrown.

588
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 5: To him quite a bit, and the targets alone in

589
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 5: bed that you have to keep him in the lineup

590
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 5: type floor for aatching Wattle Jalen, I'm gonna give him

591
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 5: a B wide receiver fifteen fantasy points per game. So far,

592
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 5: since Week five, he's averaging over one hundred receiving yards

593
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 5: per game. The Browns secondary has the third highest rate

594
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 5: of they play the third highest rate of single high

595
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 5: coverage in the NFL.

596
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: Wattle get this.

597
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 5: Waddle has an observed forty seven point six percent first

598
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 5: read share the last two games against single high debt.

599
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's who Tua looks for there.

600
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 5: I'm sure those targets are going to be very close

601
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 5: to the line of scrimmage, but I expect Waddle to

602
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 5: be peppered with them. Darren Waller three games since his

603
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 5: return to the field, Welcome back, Darren Waller averaging fifteen

604
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 5: PPR Fantasy points per game, scored a touchdown in all

605
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 5: three of those games and four total. He's scored a

606
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 5: minimum of nine PPR points in all three of those games,

607
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 5: and tight ends have been able to exploit the Browns.

608
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 5: Browns are nineteenth in the NFL and fantasy points per

609
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 5: game allowed to the tight end position.

610
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 2: This one I'm.

611
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 5: Between a low C and a bench with Darren Waller

612
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,239
Speaker 5: just because of the offensive offensive environment here. Moving over

613
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 5: to the Browns, I mentioned that Dylan Gabriel was might

614
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 5: take a chance on the quarterb Quinjewn Jenkins strong.

615
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: A here and giving the must start territory.

616
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 5: Junkins has eighteen plus carries in the three games prior

617
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 5: to last week. This week here is an amazing opportunity

618
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 5: for him to have a big game. The last two

619
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 5: weeks the Dolphins, the Dolphins have allowed three hundred and

620
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 5: thirty rushing to Recoachdwell and Kamani Vidal.

621
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 2: Congratulations Miami.

622
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 5: They have allowed the most rushing yards in the NFL,

623
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 5: which probably isn't a big surprise after I just said

624
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 5: they gave up three hundred and thirty rushing yards to

625
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 5: two backup running backs.

626
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 2: Quinchan Drukins is gonna have a day here.

627
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 5: If the only thing that can stop him is weather,

628
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 5: I don't think that gonna be slowing him down either.

629
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 5: Jerry Judy, I give him a ce only twenty nine

630
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 5: receiving yards per game over the last two games. He

631
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 5: does have four red zone targets over the last two weeks,

632
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 5: and the Dolphins are one of the worst defenses in

633
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 5: the NFL. They have a horrible secondary as well. Dolphins

634
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 5: have allowed the tenth most PPR points per target to

635
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 5: perimeter wide receivers. Someone's gonna get the targets if they're

636
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 5: up there, so I'm gonna give Judy a cee.

637
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: Keep the rest of.

638
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 5: Them on the bench, including Isia Bond, David and Yokuo

639
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 5: is out for this game with his knee injury, which

640
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 5: means Harold Fannin I'm giving him ba mister charge. Dylan

641
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 5: Gabriel has targeted tight ends on thirty six point one

642
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 5: percent of his throws in two starts. Harrold Fannen had

643
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 5: two red zone targets over the last two games. He's

644
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 5: earned at least four targets in every game. Harrold Fannon

645
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 5: also ranked seventh at the tight end position in expected

646
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 5: fantasy points. And again, here he's playing this terrible Dolphins defense.

647
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 5: A terrible Dolphins defense that has given up at least

648
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 5: eleven PPR points to Dalton Kin, Kid, Mason Taylor and

649
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 5: the aforementioned around A Gadsen love Harrol Fannon this week.

650
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 2: Harold Fannon sitting on a big, big game.

651
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 3: Potentially, and you know with the win, if the wind

652
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 3: is as heavy as we think it's going to be,

653
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 3: it's gonna be all short stuff comment.

654
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 2: That's Dylan throw short anyway fan in the manufactured touch

655
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: tight end.

656
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 5: It's why I don't think the weather will affect him

657
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 5: as much as some of these other guys.

658
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 2: Bounder.

659
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 3: When we come back, Saints take on the Bears. Is

660
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 3: this a smash spot? The Bears coming off, by the way,

661
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 3: the greatest win they've had in years. Caleb Williams love

662
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 3: him this week. Find out why when we come back

663
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 3: to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul

664
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 3: Charchie and Brian Johnson thor Nystrom with you. We've got

665
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 3: a big block of matchups, beginning with the Saints at

666
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 3: the Bears. I already mentioned Kendra Miller was might take

667
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 3: a chance on me running back, but obviously like Alvin

668
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 3: Kamara even more. Kendrick Miller coming in with a C grade.

669
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: Alvin Kamara. Bears run defense awful last year, worst in

670
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 3: the league. They're only somewhat awful this year. They ranked

671
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 3: twenty fourth in run stuff win raid. The offensive line

672
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 3: here not great for for Alvin Kamara. But fortunately Chicago

673
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 3: giving up the second most rushing yards and receiving backs

674
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 3: like Kamara are having a lot of success. For example,

675
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 3: Ashon Genti's two receiving touchdowns two games ago, Kamara is

676
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 3: still getting two thirds of the running back usage. It's

677
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 3: a great spot against the defense allowing the fifth most

678
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 3: fantasy points to runners. Alvin Kamara comes in with a

679
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 3: B grade. Let's go over to the passing game. Chris

680
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 3: o'lave is number two in targets behind Odly Puka Nakula.

681
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 3: I don't think most people would guess that, and that

682
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 3: kind of volume makes Olave very safe. We haven't seen

683
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 3: exactly explosive output from Olave, but he's coming off a

684
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: season high ninety eight yards and as I mentioned, and

685
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 3: take a chance, I me he's Spencer Ratlers playing really

686
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 3: well until the Bear's secondary gets Jalen Johnson back from injury.

687
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 2: That is a vulnerable secondary.

688
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 3: Last week, they give up scores to Chris Moore and

689
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 3: Luke McCaffrey, two guys are fractionally as good as Chris Olave.

690
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 3: He gets a B grade in this one. And you

691
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 3: got to pick your spots with Rashid Shahed, But this

692
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 3: is it. He is a long ball threat, and the

693
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 3: Bears ranked dead last in completion percentage on deep balls.

694
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 3: Chicago's also last in touchdowns allowed on deep balls. For example,

695
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 3: last week, Chris Moore Luke McCaffrey both scored on deep

696
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 3: ball touchdowns.

697
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 2: B grade for Rashid Shaheed.

698
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 3: Juwan Johnson was one of my favorite preseason plays, but

699
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 3: it was in part because Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill

700
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 3: were out. They're both back, and that's really eaten into

701
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:28,479
Speaker 3: Juwan Johnson's time.

702
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: He is on the bench.

703
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 3: All right, Let's flip over to the Chicago side of

704
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 3: this game, beginning with the running game. DeAndre Swift has

705
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 3: a groin injury, but he's going to play in this one.

706
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson is trying to figure out how to make

707
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 3: DeAndre Swift work. You can't just run him up the

708
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 3: middle to the A gap. They're doing more zone plays,

709
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 3: more stretch plays, more sea gap runs, and it's been

710
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 3: much better for DeAndre Swift lately. And the Bears offensive

711
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 3: line has just been fantastic. They ranked third best and

712
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 3: run block win rate.

713
00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 2: It is weird to.

714
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 3: See a Chicago offensive line look good. Saints run defense

715
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 3: surprisingly good. They shut down. The Patriots last week held

716
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 3: Cam Scattaboat to three point nine yards per carry the

717
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 3: week before. So blend all that together and it's a

718
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 3: B grade on DeAndre Swift. Roma dunsays entered just a

719
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 3: I like him here at an A grade. DJ Moore

720
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 3: has been cleared from the injury report. His overall usage

721
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 3: though going downhill. His utilization scores, which you can get

722
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 3: at fantasylife dot com, has dropped from fifty six in

723
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 3: September to forty five in October out of one hundred.

724
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 3: With Luther Burden and Colson Lovelan getting a little bit

725
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 3: more time every week, it's just seems like Moore is

726
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 3: getting squeezed for playing time. It is a favorable matchup,

727
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 3: as I just mentioned with Roma Dunes eight with that

728
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 3: Saint secondary. That is a defense that's allowed the third

729
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 3: most wide receiver touchdowns. So Dj Moore is still startable

730
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 3: with a C grade. Olamedie's a chas if you're in

731
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 3: a pinch, you could play him against lot corner Alante

732
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 3: Taylor with a C grade and all that together. I

733
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 3: love Caleb Williams here. He's at his best when he

734
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 3: doesn't have to improvise, and the Saints don't generate much

735
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 3: pass rush. New Orleans ranks twenty sixth in pass rush

736
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 3: win rate and twenty ninth in pass rush EPA, and

737
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 3: the Saints pass rush dead last in time to pressure.

738
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 3: So Caleb Williams will be able to sit back in

739
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 3: a clean pocket, and when he does that, he completes

740
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 3: sixty eight percent of his passes from clean pockets. In

741
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 3: a grade for Caleb Williams. Brian, Let's go over to

742
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: Las Vegas taking on Kansas City.

743
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: Not a lot to like for the Raiders.

744
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: Do like Ashton Gent, who should be getting about twenty

745
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: carries a game moving forward. According to Pete Carroll, that's

746
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: a great idea. Pete Gent can also catch, of course,

747
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: eleven targets over the last two games. The Chiefs are

748
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 1: allowing one hundred and twenty combo yards per game to backs.

749
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: Not a smash spot, but Gent is an auto start

750
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: at this point. Jacoby Myers still a Raider as of

751
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: right now, but he's questionable to play, but he's on

752
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: the bench.

753
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 2: No one, not one.

754
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: Wide receiver has topped eighty yards against the Chiefs this season.

755
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't think I need to see any say anymore

756
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: about any other Raiders wide receiver that for that reason.

757
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: Michael Mayer, though giving him a see in the tight

758
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: end wasteland, brock Bowers doubtful to play. Mark Andrews had

759
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: seventy seven catches thirty yards against the Chiefs in Week four.

760
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: Last week, Sam Laporta logged five catches fifty five yards

761
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: in a touchdown. So Mayer is serviceable in the wasteland.

762
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: Gino Smith not serviceable. He's on the bench. Over to

763
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 1: the chief side. Isaiah Pacheco my favorite play for Kansas

764
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: City this week giving him a bee. Saw seventy seven

765
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: percent of the offensive snaps last week, handled twelve of

766
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: eighteen running back carries, saw a fifty percent route share

767
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: among running backs north of that.

768
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: So that's bell Cow territory.

769
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: Practically in the Raiders own the seventh highest mistackle rate,

770
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: in the fifth most yards after contact per attempt. Plus

771
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: the game script should favorite Pacheco big time, So a

772
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: B for him. I got a lot of c's in

773
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: the receiving game, starting with Rashid Rice. You finally get

774
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: to play them. You are gonna start him. How much

775
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: will he play enough to play him? The Raiders have

776
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: allowed the fourth most catches to wide receivers, so playing

777
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: it safe sea for Rice a see even worthy. The

778
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: Raiders have allowed the second most receiving yards per game

779
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: and the third most fantasy points per game to perimeter

780
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Travis Kelce not dead yet back among the

781
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: top ten tight ends and fantasy points per game. Kind

782
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: of wrote him off, but just a see for him.

783
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: The Raiders have allowed the six highest highest yards per

784
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: reception to the position. So with all those seas in

785
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: the passing game, given one more to Patrick Mahomes.

786
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to our final matchup of this segment,

787
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 3: and that is New England taking on Tennis CE. You know,

788
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 3: ramondre Stevenson is just an absolute enigma.

789
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 5: Thor I'm gonna give ramondre Stevenson C grade in this game.

790
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 5: He's average almost eleven touches per game in almost fifty

791
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 5: two total yards per game. Last week, he played seventy

792
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 5: one percent of the snaps at the running back position

793
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 5: and nearly tripled up Trevion Henderson in routes run, which

794
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 5: is pretty stunning knowing Trevy Henderson's game coming out of

795
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 5: Ohio State. But Lake Church you mentioned great matchup here,

796
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 5: Titans have been atrocious against the run. They've allowed the

797
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 5: second most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs

798
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 5: and the most rushing touchdowns with nine to opposing running backs.

799
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 5: I'm gonna give Remandre a seed. It's just a little

800
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 5: bit concerned about the usage in the way that works

801
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 5: out and not going a little bit higher. And I'm

802
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 5: keeping Trevion Henderson on the bench. There is the thing

803
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 5: if you're in a deeper league of the match up

804
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 5: here with Tennessee's futured run defense, but because of the usage,

805
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 5: I can't go higher on Trevon Henderson.

806
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 2: Drake may is a must start and.

807
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 5: An a a couple of his receivers, though Pop Douglas

808
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 5: keep on the bench. He had the three catches the

809
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 5: last game, but I'm keeping him on the bench. I'm

810
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 5: also keeping Kishon Butte on the bench. He's been boomer

811
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 5: Bus last week was the wide receiver four in Fantasy,

812
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 5: and he was also good in Week one. But the

813
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 5: other weeks there, weeks two to five, he never had

814
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 5: more than three receptions or forty three receiving yards in

815
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 5: any game, so you just have to pick your spot

816
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 5: with him. I think this is a spot for it

817
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 5: to be a bus. The Titans run a bunch of

818
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 5: two high shell coverage Bouta's target share against too high

819
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 5: drops off a shelf to seven point three percent target rate.

820
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs, though, I'm gonna give him a bee. He

821
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 2: had the poor game last week.

822
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 5: Three catch for twenty eight yards, but he did have

823
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 5: a fifty plus yard reception a race by a defensive

824
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 5: pass interference call. He'd been commanding a team I thirty

825
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 5: three percent of the first reads. I like this match

826
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 5: up here for reasons I've already stated. So I'm giving

827
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 5: Digs a bee. Hunter Henry, I'm keeping him on the bench.

828
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 5: I don't like the way the usages has gone for him.

829
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 5: The first three games.

830
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 2: He was awesome.

831
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 5: In the last three games, he has not been hasn't

832
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 5: scored a touchdown last two games. If he needs a

833
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 5: touchdown in this one, I don't like his opportunity. The

834
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 5: Titans have allowed only one touchdown to score. I'm sorry

835
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,959
Speaker 5: one tight end to score more than nine Fantasy points

836
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 5: this year. So I'm keeping him on the bench grade

837
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 5: for cam Ward, I also have a bench grade on

838
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 5: Tony Pollard. He's been averaging fifteen plus carries per game.

839
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 5: But I talked before when I was talking about Tajay Spears,

840
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 5: might take a chance on me. Running Back Tony Pollard

841
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 5: is starting to lose the work to Tajay Spears. Last

842
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 5: week he played less than half of the snaps at

843
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 5: the running back position for the Titans.

844
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 2: He also is averaging less than four yards per carry.

845
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 5: So ta Jay Spears the guy that I want this week.

846
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 5: With Kelvin Ridley being out, elk aom nor, he gets

847
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 5: a C grade. Yeah, he's going to be the wide

848
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 5: receiver one here and he's going to do you know,

849
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 5: his stats in his points this season.

850
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 2: Because of that Chicken Kong Kuo. I'm also going to give.

851
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 5: A season averaging thirty six receiving yards per game, not

852
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 5: great U six zero deep targets, zero red zone targets.

853
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 5: I do give him a seed though, because this is

854
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 5: a good matchup and I do think he's going to

855
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 5: get more targets. With Ridley out, New England is allowed

856
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 5: to fit the most receiving yards to opposing tight ends.

857
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 3: Elk Ao, my man are potentially sitting on a breakout

858
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 3: game this week.

859
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 2: If I were going to call one, I would call

860
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 2: it right here.

861
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: I like, Hey, I called him in the summertime, one

862
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: of my sleepers.

863
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 3: My boy, you did, Yeah you did. I'm calling the

864
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 3: breakout game right like it. When we come back our

Speaker 3: Paul Chargy and Brian Johnson thor Nystrom with you. If

871
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 3: you want to follow us on X you can do

872
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 3: so at Paul Charchian, at b t x J and

873
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 3: at thor k U Rock Chalk, Rock, Chock Baby. This

874
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 3: is a segment we like to call three tough questions,

875
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 3: and we begin here.

876
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 6: Tough question number one.

877
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 3: The Dowdler just posted four hundred and seventy three total yards.

878
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 2: For the rest of the season.

879
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 3: What letter grade will Fantasy Football Weekly host most often

880
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 3: give Rico on this show?

881
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 4: Is it an A grade, a B grade, or a

882
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 4: C grade.

883
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 2: We begin with Brian Johnson.

884
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: Well, it's not an A, even though I gave him

885
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: an A this week. I do believe he is going

886
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: to be the guy moving forward. I love Cuba Hubbard,

887
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: but you know he was somewhat overachieving. He was never

888
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: he was never drafted to be the guy he was.

889
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: Right now, Rico looks legit. You got to ride the wave,

890
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: and I think as long as he stays healthy, we're

891
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: going to be seeing a B grade from Rico on

892
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: a Panthers offense that's only gonna get better now that

893
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: Jatavian Sanders Jalen Cocha are back there. They're starting to

894
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: gel at the right time, and I think Rico is

895
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: the lead back there. So B moving forward, all.

896
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 3: Right, thor Rico Dowdell going forward? What letter grade will

897
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 3: he get on this show? The most often an A,

898
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 3: B or a C grade.

899
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 5: I have to say first that I really appreciate Rico

900
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 5: Donald because a couple of weeks ago, my girlfriend she

901
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 5: she's in a fantasy football league and she needed an

902
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 5: injury replacement, and I was through the waivers on there.

903
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 2: I was like, you gotta sign Rico.

904
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 5: I have gotten an enormous amount of credit from her

905
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 5: for my Rico Donald recommendation, and maybe because of that,

906
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 5: you know, I was almost leaning A here. I was

907
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 5: like a b A, I am gonna toggle it to

908
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 5: the be. Even though I agree with what Brian says.

909
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be Rico this week. Cuba will

910
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 5: bite into his usage a little bit, So that's why

911
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 5: I toggle it to be. But shout out to you,

912
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 5: uncle Rico.

913
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 3: Appreciate you when you say that you've gotten an enormous

914
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,720
Speaker 3: amount of credit from your girlfriend. Can we just assume

915
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 3: take a very liberal interpretation on what that credit means?

916
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 2: You could? Yeah, okay, I need to first.

917
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 3: I got a peacock scott Fish two weeks ago on

918
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 3: this show. Prior to the four hundred and seventy three Yards,

919
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:51,760
Speaker 3: he urged everybody to pick up Rego Dowdell. Both Rico

920
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 3: Dowdell and Chuba Hubbard likely regressed to the meme, meaning

921
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 3: Hubbard is going to get better than he has been

922
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 3: this year. He hasn't performed well. Dowdell probably gets worse

923
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 3: like has been historically. I mean, Dowdell's a five year backup.

924
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 3: These guys almost never break out into a long term

925
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 3: success rate. Not impossible, but it's unlikely. Cuba Hubbard meanwhile

926
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 3: weirdly bad after being really good last year he's thirty

927
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,479
Speaker 3: eighth and avoided tackle rate twenty ninth, in yards after

928
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 3: contact thirty six and rushing yards of expectations. Is not

929
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 3: the Chuba Hubbard we saw last year. Maybe he's been

930
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 3: playing hurt all year and now it's still not one

931
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 3: hundred percent. But we'll play this week. I do worry

932
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 3: a little bit that we're gonna get the dreaded hot

933
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 3: hand effect from Dave Canalis, where it's gonna be like, oh,

934
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 3: we're gonna give it. You know, he's gonna defer a

935
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 3: bit to his veteran He's gonna see who's doing better

936
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 3: and then give the ball to that guy.

937
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 2: More.

938
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 3: I thatt we hate the hot hand effect in fantasy

939
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 3: because you can't predict it.

940
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 2: E grade for Rico.

941
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 3: Dawdell going forward most commonly, hopefully it'll hold here.

942
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:53,919
Speaker 6: Tough question number two.

943
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 3: Jaguars head coach Liam Cohen says he's going to get

944
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 3: Travis Hunter more involved in the offense.

945
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 4: Should you believe him?

946
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 2: We begin with thorn Eistrom duvall.

947
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 5: I was just kidding. Yes, I do believe mister Cohen.

948
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 5: Hunter is basically already a full time player on offense.

949
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 5: They could Jacksonville could get him more involved as a

950
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 5: first read on plays and with design targets. So although

951
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 5: I will say initially when I during this season, I

952
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 5: thought the Jaguars were misusing him by trying to force

953
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 5: him manufactured touches near the line of scrimmage as opposed

954
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 5: to sending him deep, the most encouraging thing about Hunter's

955
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 5: usage is that in the past couple of weeks Jacksonville

956
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 5: finally started to use him downfield. That's Hunter's special sauce

957
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 5: with his ball skills down there.

958
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 3: Ryan Jaguars head coach Liam Cohen says he's going to

959
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 3: get Travis Hunter more involved in the offense.

960
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 2: Should we believe him? Yeah? We should.

961
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: I know, I said to bench Hunter this week, I'm

962
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: kind of wavering on that. He did see an eighty

963
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: eight percent route rate last week, Travis Hunter. That was

964
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: a season high. It's probably gonna stay along those numbers.

965
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 1: So I'm going to retract that benching and say, see,

966
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: and I will believe Liam Cohen that they get him

967
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: more involved, they better. The only reason I think they

968
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: might not is just to screw with that IDP team.

969
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: I told you about where I drafted Travis Hunter in

970
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: the second round playing him at defensive back and he's

971
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: still not adding any value there. So but no, I

972
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: believe in Travis Hunter.

973
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 2: Let's go.

974
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 3: When we think about the Colorado version of Travis Hunter,

975
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 3: we think of those big downfield catches, him weaving through traffic,

976
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 3: making slappies, miss breaking tackles.

977
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 4: We haven't got any of that, guys. Here's stat of

978
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 4: the day for you.

979
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 3: Here we are heading into week seven, Travis Hunter has

980
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 3: two catches deeper than nine yards.

981
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 4: That's it.

982
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 3: He ranks in the bottom ten percent of wide receivers

983
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 3: in depth of target. Travis Hunter totally misused, and the

984
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 3: fact that he hasn't been able to just house Diammy

985
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 3: Brown and Parker Washington is a major bummer.

986
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 4: I do believe Liam Cohen wants to get him going.

987
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 3: We know he can because he's done it with other people,

988
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 3: did in Tampa. But I have some skepticism because the

989
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,919
Speaker 3: usage has to change dramatically. I'd like to believe Liam

990
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 3: Cohen's going to do that, but I'm not gonna believe

991
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 3: it until I see it. I believe the correct answer

992
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 3: at this stage, right now, at this point of the

993
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 3: season is no.

994
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 2: And by the way, coaches lie all the time.

995
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 6: Tough question number three.

996
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 3: Rashi Rice returns from suspension this week for the rest

997
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 3: of the season. What letter grade will Fantasy Football Weekly

998
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 3: hosts most often give to Rashie Rice.

999
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 4: Is it going to be an A?

1000
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 3: Is it going to be a C, A B C,

1001
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 3: or is it going to be a bench Brian? I

1002
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 3: think you gave him a C earlier in this show. Correct,

1003
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 3: I did.

1004
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: I was just being a little little conservative there here.

1005
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: We haven't seen Rashid Rice since Week three of last season,

1006
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: or maybe Week four when he got injured. But his

1007
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: first three games of last year one hundred and three

1008
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: yards on nine catches, six catches, seventy five yards a touchdown,

1009
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: twelve catches, one hundred and ten yards a touchdown. Then

1010
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: he we lost him to injury, so I kind of

1011
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: forgot that he's coming off injury.

1012
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,959
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm not too worried about coming off injury.

1013
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: Might be a little slow to ramp up, so I'm

1014
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,240
Speaker 1: just gonna I'm gonna go with B because Zavier Worthy

1015
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 1: he's certainly gonna soak up some targets. Travis Kelce proven

1016
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,439
Speaker 1: not to be a dead cat just yet, so I'll

1017
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: go B. But it's borderline A went healthy. Rashid Rice

1018
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: is elite. But I'm gonna go B thor what.

1019
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,439
Speaker 3: Letter grade most often will Fantasy Football Weekly hosts give

1020
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 3: to Rashi Rice and A A B.

1021
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 2: Or A C or A bench. I'm gonna go with

1022
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 2: an A grade here.

1023
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 5: I think Rashie Rice is gonna be Kansas City's unquestioned

1024
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 5: wide receiver one right from the get, and he's gonna

1025
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 5: get poundered with targets as Pat Mahomes is. I'm on

1026
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 5: Rasaint Brown, So yeah, I'm gonna go with an A

1027
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 5: here for Rashid I.

1028
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 3: Also am gonna go with an A. I'm gonna give

1029
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 3: you some unrelated stats though, for just a moment here.

1030
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 3: Yahoo published some data. Sixty eight percent of the teams

1031
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 3: that drafted Rashi Rice have zero.

1032
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 2: One or two wins at this stage of the season.

1033
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 3: We talked about this in the preseason and I was like,

1034
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not drafting a guy who's playing three

1035
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 3: games before Week eleven. That is not cool. And if

1036
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 3: you look that certainly suggested. Get this, four percent of

1037
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 3: Yahoo leagues for players people who drafted Rashi Rice have

1038
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 3: five or six wins right now.

1039
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 2: Only four percent at five or six wins.

1040
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 3: That guy, it was what you had, the price you

1041
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 3: had to pay in Rashi Rice was too high for

1042
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 3: what he ended up being worth to this point. Now,

1043
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 3: last we saw Rashi Rice last year weeks one through three.

1044
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 3: He was Fantasy Football's highest scoring receiver during that stretch.

1045
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 2: And what makes him so special?

1046
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 3: In those three games, Rice averaged sixty two yards after

1047
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 3: the catch. That's insanity. And granted it was a small

1048
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 3: sample size just three games. But still, and again another

1049
00:50:53,400 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 3: side note here, what happens when Rashi Rice erased his seven, eight, nine,

1050
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 3: to ten targets from the other Chiefs receivers. One guy

1051
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 3: in particular is going to struggle Travis Kelcey.

1052
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 2: Rashi Rice is.

1053
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 3: So good over the middle of the field that is

1054
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,959
Speaker 3: typically Kelsey territory. Get this, those three games that Rahi

1055
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 3: Rice played last year, Travis Kelcey did not score. He

1056
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 3: had thirty four yards, zero yards and thirty yards in

1057
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 3: those three games for Travis Kelcey when Rashee Rice was healthy.

1058
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 3: Get out of the Travis Kelcey business right now, by

1059
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 3: the way. Correct answer, As I mentioned earlier, a great

1060
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 3: for Rashi Rice. He's awesome and he'll pick up right

1061
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 3: where he left off. All right, there's three tough questions.

1062
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 3: Let's go, hopefully you in three and zero. I didn't

1063
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,439
Speaker 3: keep tracking what rate you guys went at. But let's

1064
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 3: zip over to the Giants taking on the Denver Broncos.

1065
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 3: I don't think the Giants are going to fare nearly

1066
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 3: as well here as they did a couple well thursdays ago.

1067
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 3: Let's Jackson Dart, who is on the bench, No Malik Neighbors,

1068
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 3: Darius Slayton not expected to play a brutal matchup against Denver.

1069
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,280
Speaker 3: Look what they just did to Justin Fields last week.

1070
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 3: You can't even count on Dart getting you rushing yards

1071
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 3: because the Broncos are insanely good against rushing quarterbacks. They're

1072
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 3: allowing seven quarterback rushing yards per game, that's it. And

1073
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 3: they have faced Daniel Jones Jalen Hurts justin Fields, and

1074
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 3: you certainly don't want to count on Dart passing into

1075
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 3: the face of the league's number one pass rush defense.

1076
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 3: Lots of short passes incoming that are not going to

1077
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 3: equal fantasy relevancy for Jackson Dart, he is on the bench.

1078
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 2: What about Wendelle Robinson.

1079
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 3: You might be thinking, because he had an awesome game

1080
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 3: last week against the Eagles. He will avoid past trick

1081
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 3: Sirtan in this because he runs from the slot a lot.

1082
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 3: That's the good news. The only two wide receiver touchdowns

1083
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 3: the Broncos have allowed were to slot receivers. And importantly,

1084
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 3: last week, the Giants let Dart throw downfield for the

1085
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 3: first time and that helped unlock that big game from

1086
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 3: Wendell Robinson, who had been shackled by short passes before that.

1087
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 3: But Dart is going to need to throw fast in

1088
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 3: the face of the league's best pass rushing defense, so

1089
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a lot of short stuff again, and

1090
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 3: Wendell Robinson's not great in that scenario. Just to see

1091
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 3: grade for him. THEO Johnson scored touchdowns three touchdowns in

1092
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 3: last three games, but he is a low volume touchdown

1093
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,879
Speaker 3: dependent player, and since the switch to Jackson Dart, it's

1094
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,760
Speaker 3: all short passes to Johnson. Only Tyler Warren has managed

1095
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,720
Speaker 3: to top forty six yards against Denver. Only Dallas Goddard

1096
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 3: has scored a touchdown against Denver among tight ends.

1097
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 2: So bench great on Theo Johnson.

1098
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 4: Let's talk Cam Scatibo.

1099
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 3: One of the best stories in football last week, Scatibo

1100
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 3: proved that Tyrone Tracy is totally irrelevant.

1101
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:41,879
Speaker 2: Scatabo is the workhorse back.

1102
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 3: He's looked terrific, and if you're going to beat the Broncos,

1103
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 3: you'll have to run the ball because their pass defense

1104
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 3: is amazing. The broncos two losses this year came against

1105
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 3: teams that ran the ball twenty five and twenty five

1106
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 3: times with their running backs. Scatabo should get eighteen to

1107
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 3: twenty of the those twenty five rushes that the Giants

1108
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 3: are going to want to get to. Here, Broncos run

1109
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 3: defense pretty good. They shut down Saquon Barkley two Thursdays ago.

1110
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 3: They're getting dingd two weeks ago. They're getting dinged through

1111
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 3: the air, though, and Cam can catch, so I think

1112
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 3: he cobbles together a pretty decent game.

1113
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 2: Here. We'll throw a B grade on Cam Scatabo. Let's

1114
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 2: go to the Broncos side. I want to start with

1115
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 2: the running game and JK. Dobbins.

1116
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 3: He remains the workhorse back with R. J. Harvey mostly

1117
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 3: getting action only in garbage time. The Giants have a

1118
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 3: middle of the pack run defense better lately, but on

1119
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 3: the season they rank thirtieth in run defense success rate,

1120
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 3: Dobbins remains pretty darn safe and he comes in with

1121
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:38,280
Speaker 3: a B grade.

1122
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 2: I mentioned R J.

1123
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 3: Harvey only is only playable and blowouts here, and maybe

1124
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 3: this is a blowout game. Denver is a seven point favorite,

1125
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 3: but I can't count on that, and I can't count

1126
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 3: on RJ.

1127
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 2: Harvey, who I've got a bench great on.

1128
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 3: As for Courtland Sutton, he remains the alpha receiver here,

1129
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 3: but we're starting to see Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims

1130
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 3: eat into his production a little bit.

1131
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 4: Still, Sutton is the only weekly.

1132
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 3: Reliable target on the Broncos, and big body, physical receivers

1133
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,800
Speaker 3: like Cortland Sutton have fared well against the Giants. George Pickens,

1134
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 3: Quinton Johnston scored last week and well they have scored

1135
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,280
Speaker 3: and last week k A j. Brown had eighty yards

1136
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 3: against New York. So I like court and Sutton with

1137
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 3: that big frame as a B grade. As for bow Nicks,

1138
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 3: it's been a disappointing season. Not a bad one, but disappointing,

1139
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 3: and it's mostly because he's not rushing. We're not getting

1140
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 3: that big dual threat game from bow Knicks that we

1141
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:35,760
Speaker 3: got last year as a rookie.

1142
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: Based on where he's getting drafted. It's a huge disappointment.

1143
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:44,399
Speaker 1: I'd say that to Yeah, he's QB thirteen right now.

1144
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 1: For Bo Nicks, I think that's fair to say he's

1145
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: been disappointing. The Giants have a good, not great pass rush,

1146
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 1: and the Broncos offensive line has been terrific. Nicks has

1147
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: seen the second fewest quarterback pressures, so he's standing tall

1148
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,839
Speaker 1: in the pocket delivering passes, and he should have time

1149
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: to do the same here and deliver downfield. He comes

1150
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: in with a beat, right, but again, the rushing just

1151
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,760
Speaker 1: isn't there to give us a grade upside. Troy Franklin

1152
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: and Marvin Mims super difficult to guess which guy could

1153
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 1: put up a good game, but it's safe to say

1154
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: it won't be both because they never do it in

1155
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,280
Speaker 1: the same game. Franklin running about ten more routes per game,

1156
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: which gives him the advantage here, but Mims has outperformed Franklin.

1157
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 4: Lately. We've seen deeper depth chart Blazers do well against

1158
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 4: the Giants like Rashid Schahat and Taekwon Thornton and Cavante Turpin.

1159
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,919
Speaker 4: We're all super fast, and that's Franklin and Mims. They're

1160
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 4: super fast downfield guys, so both startable in a pinch

1161
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 4: Sea level guys, but again I don't think they both

1162
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:40,720
Speaker 4: do well.

1163
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:42,320
Speaker 2: Last guy to mention.

1164
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,879
Speaker 3: Evan Ingram meaningfully involved in this offense seven to six

1165
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 3: and six targets the last three weeks since returning from

1166
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 3: injury and a very healthy twenty four percent target rate.

1167
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:54,919
Speaker 4: What has killed Evan Ingram so far?

1168
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,439
Speaker 3: It's all a bunch of short passes and they haven't

1169
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 3: given him any end zone looks yet. Giants have been

1170
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 3: a good tight end defense. Only one tight end his

1171
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,720
Speaker 3: top forty six yards. Only one is scored C grade

1172
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 3: for Evan Ingram. When we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly,

1173
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 3: another block at matchup for you, including green Bay taking

1174
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 3: on Arizona. At Arizona running back situation is always gross

1175
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 3: and now a very tough Packers run defense will tell

1176
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 3: you if there are any Cardinals runners you can scramble

1177
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 3: too off the waiver wire. When we return to Fantasy

1178
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 3: Football Weekly, Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Baul Chargie

1179
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 3: and thornis from Brian Johnson with you. Brian green Bay

1180
00:57:58,240 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 3: is taking on Arizona and what should be a one

1181
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 3: sided game I could see Green Bay getting ahead early

1182
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 3: and just running Josh Jacobs a lot in this game.

1183
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 2: He's been a work course of late.

1184
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: No doubt, he's been a work course as of his

1185
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: last thirteen regular season games, where he has seventeen touchdowns

1186
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: during those Yeah, Jacobs just has been a machine.

1187
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 2: A grade for him.

1188
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: The Cardinals have surrendered a running back rushing touchdown in

1189
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,439
Speaker 1: three straight games. Jonathan Taylor just at one hundred twenty

1190
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 1: three yards on the ground alone against the Cardinals. Jacobs

1191
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: could certainly replicate that. So a for Jacobs over to

1192
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,440
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, just to see for Matthew Golden, who

1193
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: is starting to heat up now ranks ninth in the

1194
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: NFL and catch over and catch rate over expected. He

1195
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 1: just needs an uptick in targets and it's in a

1196
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 1: good spot against the Cardinals, who are fifth in opponent

1197
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: passing play percentage of allowed the fifth most catches to

1198
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers. So I'll also give a seat of Romeo

1199
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: Dobbs for that reason. But Tucker Craft and a grade

1200
00:58:56,520 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: for him. Craft averaging nine point nine yard after the

1201
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: catch per reception that is first among tight ends. The

1202
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 1: next closest is Tyler Warren with seven point nine. That

1203
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 1: is a huge delta, and Warren is elite too. That

1204
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: is an elite number for Warren, but Craft like almost

1205
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: on another level. And then speaking of Tyler Warren, he

1206
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: had six catches sixty three yards in a touchdown against

1207
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: Arizona just last week, who have been getting flamed by

1208
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: tight ends over the last three weeks. Over the last

1209
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: three weeks, twenty catches, two one hundred and thirty seven

1210
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns totaled by opposing tight ends. So

1211
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: in a for Tucker Craft, So an easy c for

1212
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: Jordan Love because again I like Jacob's a lot in

1213
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 1: this game, almost a bench grade for Love if not

1214
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: for Craft, because it's gonna go all through Jacobs.

1215
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 2: So just to see for Love over to the cardinal side.

1216
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 1: You alluded to the running backs charge, I got him

1217
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 1: both on the bench Bam Knight and Michael Carter. If

1218
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: you're absolutely desperate, go ahead and grab one. But an

1219
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 1: awful matchup for both. Green Bay allows the fewest brushyards

1220
00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: per game, the second lowest explosive run rate, and the

1221
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: sixth lowest yards after contact per attempt. But I love

1222
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Trey McBride in this one. He's the first receiver I'm

1223
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: going to talk about. Currently seventh in targets among wide receivers,

1224
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 1: now first and targets among tight ends. Matchup doesn't really

1225
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 1: matter when it comes to McBride, but this is a

1226
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: great one on paper. Packer's allowing eight catches sixty yards

1227
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: per game to opposing tight ends who have also scored

1228
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: in three of five games played by Green Bay, So

1229
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: a for McBride, just to see. For Marvin Harrison, who

1230
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,479
Speaker 1: has cleared concussion protocol, the Packers allowing just thirteen catches

1231
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty seven yards per game to wide

1232
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: receivers as a whole. Those are not great numbers, So

1233
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,439
Speaker 1: a very soft sea on Marvin Harrison. The only wide

1234
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: receiver getting a grade for the Cardinals because we don't.

1235
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 2: Know who's playing quarterback yet.

1236
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 1: But Jacoby Prissett looks like an update for Kyler Murray

1237
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: last week. But Friday, Prissett still working with the starters,

1238
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 1: Murray off to the side.

1239
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 2: He's looking real dicey.

1240
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 1: But even if Murray plays, I got him on the

1241
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 1: bench and perset if he starts, defense is legit, even

1242
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 1: though they had some holes lately.

1243
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Marvin Harrison could be sitting on a dud

1244
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 3: game here. I've got a lot of concern about him,

1245
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 3: and he is fully capable of dud games as we've seen.

1246
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 3: Thora Let's go over to Washington taking on Dallas to

1247
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 3: Corey Krosky. Merritt was part of that key fumble, but

1248
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 3: in the exchange that was on somewhere half the blame

1249
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 3: falls halfway between Merit and halfway between between jayd and Daniels.

1250
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 3: But possible bounce back game for him against a bad

1251
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 3: Dallas run defense one.

1252
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 5: Hundred percent, and I don't put any blame on bellcou Bill.

1253
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to absolve him of all that.

1254
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 5: Last week you mentioned that he plays sixty seven percent

1255
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 5: of the snaps even with Chris Rodriguez active. Bill got

1256
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 5: seventeen of the nineteen running back carries in that game.

1257
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 5: Also had a team high forty percent route share, and

1258
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 5: this is a solid matchup. Of course, Dallas's run defenses

1259
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 5: allowed the fourth most rushing yards per game.

1260
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to go with a B for Bill in

1261
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 2: this game.

1262
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 5: I think Washington's going to have a lot of success

1263
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 5: moving the ball, and I think a lot of that

1264
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 5: offense is going to come through. Jaydon Daniels. What I

1265
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 5: expect to be a shootout? Jayden Daniels obviously a must

1266
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 5: start A. This is the highest total on the NFL

1267
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 5: board this week. We are going to get a shootout.

1268
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 5: Now we have to talk about the Commander's receiving core

1269
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 5: Terry McLaurin is out with his quad injury. Deebo Samuel

1270
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 5: is the hard one to parse. He is a must

1271
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 5: start A if he starts. But let's get into the situation.

1272
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 5: Deebo did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. On Friday,

1273
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 5: he was spotted doing quote unquote light movements before the

1274
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 5: Commander's practice. Then the media asked Deebo Samuel on Friday

1275
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 5: if he thought he was going to play on Sunday.

1276
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 5: Quote We'll just have to see end quote was Deebo's response,

1277
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 5: and then Deebo added that his heel injury has been

1278
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 5: quote aggravating for sure.

1279
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 2: End quote. If Deebo plays, you have to have him

1280
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 2: in your lineup.

1281
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 5: It's a bad defense are going up against in an

1282
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 5: expected shootout. And by the way, Boys cornerback Trayvon Diggs

1283
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 5: is out due to mysterious concussion symptoms, something he suffered

1284
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 5: at the house, So this would be an awesome a

1285
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 5: smash spot for Deebo sim if he plays, but again

1286
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 5: up in the air.

1287
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 2: If Deebo does not play.

1288
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 5: I would upgrade Luke McCaffrey to a see just based

1289
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 5: on the status of the Commander receiving cored. Luke McCaffrey

1290
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 5: has been scoring touchdowns and he will be getting more

1291
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 5: targets here.

1292
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:26,040
Speaker 2: If Deebo is out. If Deebo plays.

1293
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 5: I would downgrade that to a bench plus, although I

1294
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 5: know I can't do that, mister, charge team, but no,

1295
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:33,439
Speaker 5: you can't. Yeah, so what we'll say bench If Deebo

1296
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 5: ends up playing. Zach Ertz is the other guy I

1297
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 5: want in the Commander's offense in my starting lineup this week.

1298
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 5: I give him an A even though he's only tight

1299
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 5: end sixteen to this point in Fantasy points per game.

1300
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 5: Awesome match up here. Dallas is bad defense. They play

1301
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 5: a ton of too high coverage. Washington's scheme uses zach Ertz.

1302
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 5: They feature him against too high. They use him kind

1303
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 5: of like a paper cutter, sort of. Zach Ertz has

1304
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 5: a thirty five percent first read share against too high

1305
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 5: this season, and Dallas has also allowed the twelfth most

1306
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 5: receiving yards per game to opposing tight ends. Ertz, I

1307
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 5: love the matchup this week, so again giving him an

1308
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 5: A and then a whole bunch of a is on

1309
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 5: Dallas's side, and again what I expect to be a shootout.

1310
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 5: Dak Prescott to must start A. Javante Williams is a

1311
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 5: must start a full blown bellcoll in the two games

1312
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 5: without Miles Sanders, Davonte Williams eighty percent snap rate and

1313
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 5: eighty one percent snap right Jaydeawn Blue.

1314
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 2: I mentioned this before in the show, Jada Blue is

1315
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 2: not good.

1316
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that it's gonna be Bellkow status for

1317
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,919
Speaker 5: Williams going forward. George Pickins has become a must start

1318
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 5: A and then Ceedee Lamb. I'm gonna give him an

1319
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 5: A as well. Ceedee Lamber returned to practice on Wednesday.

1320
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 5: I opened up hot the first two weeks of this

1321
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 5: season before he got injured in Chicago. Sixteen catches two

1322
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 5: hundred twenty two yards over those first couple of games,

1323
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 5: and Washington allows a league high one hundred slightly over

1324
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 5: one hundred yards per game to opposing slot receivers. Obviously,

1325
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 5: that's where Lam's gonna take back over and I'm gonna

1326
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 5: keep Jake Ferguson with a must start a as well,

1327
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 5: just based on the precedent up until this point. A

1328
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 5: lot to see how his usage changed with Ceedee lamback.

1329
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 5: But I'm giving Jake Ferguson a nay as well.

1330
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 2: So let's go back to Pickens for a minute.

1331
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 3: If you know Pickens has been great while Ceede Lamb

1332
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 3: has been out, Ceedee Lamb comes back, what do you

1333
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 3: think about now or as a cell high moment if

1334
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 3: you've got Pickens knowing Lamb's coming back.

1335
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would definitely listen to offers for George Pickens

1336
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 5: if if I was his owner. I mean, you have

1337
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 5: to have them in your lineup this week, of course.

1338
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 5: But yeah, with Lamb coming back, in the amount of

1339
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 5: targets that we know get funneled to Ceedee Lamb, some

1340
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 5: of those are of course going to come out of

1341
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 5: the the pie of George Pickens's usage to this point.

1342
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, I like that call.

1343
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 3: Church Atlanta takes on San Francisco Bijon Robinson's the hottest

1344
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 3: player in football right now. Basically do any There's nothing

1345
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 3: I could or would say to suggest you should not

1346
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 3: start him. He is a clear a grade. Let's go

1347
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 3: over to the passing game. I want to start with

1348
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 3: Drake London. Consecutive explosive games with over one hundred and

1349
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 3: ten yards and touchdowns in both and both are wins

1350
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 3: by Atlanta, So I gotta believe Atlanta is looking at

1351
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 3: this going. We got to keep feeding Drake London. Let's

1352
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 3: get our WS. It's a plus matchup all over the

1353
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 3: field for London. None of the Niners starting cornerbacks have

1354
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 3: a PFF rank of higher than fifty nine.

1355
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 4: Two of them are lower than ninety fourth. This is

1356
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 4: a nice spot for the physical, big body Drake London.

1357
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 4: A grade for him. Darnell Mooney is a good guy

1358
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 4: to pick up in stash right. Michael Pennix is getting better.

1359
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:30,440
Speaker 4: Darnell Mooney's missed this entire season so far with injury.

1360
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 4: He's on waiver wires everywhere. He's probably going to play

1361
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 4: in this game. We're not gonna start him. We're gonna

1362
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 4: let him knock some rust off before we start him.

1363
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 4: But this might be a good spot to pick up

1364
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 4: Darnal Mooney. This actually he's turned into my premature speculation

1365
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 4: players just as I'm talking right now. But we'll keep

1366
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 4: Mooney on the bench, but this is the time to

1367
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 4: go get him now, Kyle Pitts, you're only deploying Kyle

1368
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 4: Pitts Brian in great spots, and the forty nine ers

1369
01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 4: might actually be one. Four of the niners last five

1370
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 4: opponents have had a tight end score or top fifty yards.

1371
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 4: It's the rare C grade coming from me for Kyle Pitts.

1372
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 4: Brian would tell you a grade. I'm gonna go just

1373
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 4: with the C grade.

1374
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 3: Michael Pennix getting the ball into the hands of his

1375
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 3: superstars and letting them go be special, and that is

1376
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 3: helping him statistically. But what keeps Pecks in check is

1377
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 3: a conservative Falcons offense that ranks twenty eighth in passing

1378
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 3: play percentage. It's just hard to fill a box score

1379
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 3: on that low of volume. The Niners are middle of

1380
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 3: the pack secondary. They have a lot of passing touchdowns

1381
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 3: in every game since the opener, five touchdowns the past

1382
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 3: two weeks, although to much better and more accomplished passers

1383
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 3: than Michael Pennix. He comes in with a C grade here.

1384
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 3: Going over to the San Francisco side, it's another Mac

1385
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 3: Jones start, but we do get George Kittle back, and

1386
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 3: they say is not on a snap count. So we've

1387
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 3: got a full force George Kittle coming in now. He

1388
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 3: is coming off a hamstring injury. Those are always tricky

1389
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,439
Speaker 3: and they do aggravate easily. But I can't go through

1390
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 3: life assuming somebody's going to reinjure their hamstring, and with

1391
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 3: all the other Niners injuries, I think George Kittle's just

1392
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 3: got to have a major role here. The bad news

1393
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 3: is the Falcons are the best tight end defense in

1394
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,760
Speaker 3: the league. They rank number one in yards allowed to

1395
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 3: tight ends, number one in touchdowns allowed to tight ends,

1396
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 3: and number one in fantasy points allowed to tight ends.

1397
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:27,560
Speaker 3: Roll all that together, I can only get you to

1398
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 3: do a B grade on George Kittle. We might still

1399
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 3: see some Jake Tongis in the mix here as well,

1400
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 3: but I think you can drop Tongus out right here.

1401
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 3: As for the receivers, Ricky Pearsall is not gonna go.

1402
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 3: So Kendrick Bourne back is a plausible start. And by

1403
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 3: the way, back to back one and forty two yard

1404
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 3: games for Kendrick Bourne.

1405
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:48,720
Speaker 2: I don't know how many times that's ever happened in

1406
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 2: the history of the NFL. Kendrack burn again. Kendrick Bourn again.

1407
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 2: Was he ever born in the first place? He showed up?

1408
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, just show that exactly, Patriots, The oh.

1409
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Falcon secondary has been great. No receiver has topped

1410
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 3: eighty one yards against Atlanta. Only two receivers have scored

1411
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 3: since the opening week, and they just dropped the hammer

1412
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 3: on the Buffalo receivers. Still with everybody else, hurt Bourne's

1413
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 3: high volume keeps him startable. We'll say C grade on

1414
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 3: Kendrick Warren.

1415
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 2: And Kendrick Bourne identity exactly.

1416
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 4: How about Djwan Jennings right now?

1417
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 3: He revealed last week he is playing with five broken ribs,

1418
01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 3: a high ankle sprain, and a regular ankle sprain.

1419
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 2: Who does that?

1420
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 3: I mean, God blessed her playing through it, but any

1421
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 3: hit could be his last. I've dropped to Juwan Jennings

1422
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 3: in my leagues, and you can't start a player playing

1423
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 3: on five broken ribs, a high ankle sprain, in a

1424
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 3: regular ankle sprain.

1425
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 2: He's out.

1426
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 3: Mac Jones is your starting quarterback, but he comes in

1427
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 3: with two different injuries. There's a risk of reinjury here.

1428
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 3: You've got all the injuries to the receivers, You've got

1429
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 3: the quality of the Falcons defense, which is excellent. Atlanta

1430
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 3: ranks number one in passing yards allowed, number five in

1431
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 3: passing touchdowns allowed, and number four in fantasy points allowed

1432
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,839
Speaker 3: to opposing quarterbacks. This is a tough spot for mac Jones.

1433
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,599
Speaker 3: I can only get you to a C grade on him,

1434
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 3: and then Christian McCaffrey. I am giving him a B

1435
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:22,839
Speaker 3: grade despite a tough matchup and shockingly bad rushing production,

1436
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:24,600
Speaker 3: which we're gonna talk about in just a minute. But

1437
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 3: his volume is bizark. He's got one hundred and sixty

1438
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 3: eight opportunities that is rush's plus targets. That's twenty seven

1439
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 3: more than any other player. That's like a whole extra

1440
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:39,960
Speaker 3: game of extra usage from Christian McCaffrey. By the way,

1441
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 3: I consider selling Christian McCaffrey now while you can do so,

1442
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:49,320
Speaker 3: name your price on him. He is an overused, underproductive runner.

1443
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 3: In particular, his receiving has been great. But get a

1444
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 3: load of some of these rushing stats for Christian McCaffrey.

1445
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 3: Yards per carry, thirty fourth, yards after contact, thirty second,

1446
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 3: avoided tackle rate twenty fourth, and rushing yards over expectation.

1447
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey is fortieth. The Falcons have only allowed one

1448
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 3: rushing touchdown all year to opposing running backs and none

1449
01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 3: to starters, and no back has topped eighty seven yards,

1450
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:18,000
Speaker 3: and they've given up the fewest receptions second fewest receiving

1451
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 3: yards to running backs. It's a brutal matchup for Christian McCaffrey.

1452
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:23,679
Speaker 2: Mostly on name.

1453
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:28,439
Speaker 3: I'm giving him a B grade, but the reality is

1454
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:30,879
Speaker 3: he might be closer to a C grade in this matchup.

1455
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take a break.

1456
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 3: When we come back our final segment, including premature speculation.

Speaker 4: Guys, Let's jump into the fantasy week.

1481
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 3: I'm gam who identify some players now, and everybody else

1482
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 3: is me trying to pick up next week.

1483
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 4: Let's find out who they are.

1484
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 3: We begin with Brian Johnson, who is your premature speculation player.

1485
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 1: I got Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Beck, who was

1486
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 1: competing with fellow rookie wide receiver Dante Thornton for playing time. Beck,

1487
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:26,639
Speaker 1: though drafted in the second round, Thornton drafted in the fourth.

1488
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 3: Uh.

1489
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:29,759
Speaker 1: Now, I should preface all this with the Jacoby Myers

1490
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 1: trade rumors swirling around him, so if that were to happen,

1491
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 1: serious playing time will open up. But uh, there already

1492
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:39,639
Speaker 1: is playing time for a wide receiver three.

1493
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 2: In this offense.

1494
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 1: In weeks one through four, it was Dante Thornton who

1495
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:45,679
Speaker 1: had a sixty eight percent route share percentage compared to

1496
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: to Beck with nine percent. Then in week five nearly

1497
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:52,839
Speaker 1: evened out Thornton fifty eight point five percent target share percentage.

1498
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:56,679
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, route share percentage, Beck thirty six point six percent.

1499
01:13:57,080 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 1: Last week Beck eighty percent route chair percent Thornton zero.

1500
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 1: Jack Beck is totally taken over, or at least you

1501
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 1: surf Thornton in the in on the depth chart for

1502
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders. So and if Jacoby Myers were to get traded, uh,

1503
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:13,719
Speaker 1: they like Jack Beck. They took him in the second

1504
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:16,760
Speaker 1: round fifty eighth overall pick go grab him now on

1505
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 1: Pyahu one percent owned.

1506
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 3: Uh, Jacoby Myers Steelers would look good. Giants help Hatriots

1507
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 3: need help. Buffalo as a potential spot. There's some nice

1508
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:34,040
Speaker 3: landing spots for Jacoby Myers that could really arc his

1509
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:37,640
Speaker 3: his value. And Trey Tucker and Jack Beck, let's go

1510
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 3: to thorn Eistrom. Your take it, not take a chance,

1511
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:41,600
Speaker 3: I mean, your premature speculation.

1512
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 5: Player is Kolkhead's stand up Jalen Cocher, Panthers wide receiver.

1513
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 5: He missed the first six games with a hamstring injury.

1514
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:54,759
Speaker 5: He's making his season debut against the Jets this weekend. Coker,

1515
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:58,840
Speaker 5: at present is owned in only sixteen percent of Yahoo leagues.

1516
01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:00,599
Speaker 2: That needs to change.

1517
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,799
Speaker 5: He is about to give Carolina a legitimate number two weapon.

1518
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:06,640
Speaker 5: In six games, playing at least sixty eight percent of

1519
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 5: the snaps with Bryce Young last year, Cocher averaged fifty

1520
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,679
Speaker 5: six receiving yards per game, also average eleven plus PPR

1521
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 5: points per game with three top thirty six Fantasy.

1522
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:19,320
Speaker 2: Finishes twelve team plus league.

1523
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 5: If you're in a twelve team league or higher, I

1524
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:24,760
Speaker 5: think he's startable this week. The Jets secondary has allowed

1525
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 5: the ninth most PPR points to slot wide receivers. Either way,

1526
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 5: get make sure that Jalen Koger is not unowned in

1527
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 5: your league.

1528
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:32,679
Speaker 2: I tipped my hand on this one already.

1529
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:35,799
Speaker 3: I was just talking about Christian McCaffrey as a cell

1530
01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 3: high guy at here. You know, we know he is

1531
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 3: an injury time bomb. Somebody has already made it through

1532
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 3: this stage of the season. Maybe it's you with him.

1533
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:47,720
Speaker 3: We know he's frail. We know he's been overused. He's

1534
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 3: number two in rushing attempts, number one in targets. I

1535
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 3: have mentioned the last segment one hundred and sixty eight

1536
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:57,919
Speaker 3: opportunities already. I think I would go get Brian Robinson.

1537
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:01,080
Speaker 3: Rostered in thirty percent of league. That's it, seventy percent

1538
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 3: of league's he's available, Brian Robinson. Even Isaac Grendel could

1539
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 3: make sense. I get the feeling this that CMC is

1540
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 3: a time bomb. Don't and I don't. I don't love

1541
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 3: to say that, I just but I feel like that's

1542
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 3: where we are right now. Consider him also a name

1543
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 3: on a throat there. Emmanuel Wilson's running really well for

1544
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:19,519
Speaker 3: Green Pay. If anything were to happen to Josh Jacobs,

1545
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 3: he's a ninety eight percent available player, and he would

1546
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,320
Speaker 3: be the new starting running back. Jacob's popping up on

1547
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:28,559
Speaker 3: the injury report this week. Our final two matchups, Brian,

1548
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:31,720
Speaker 3: we begin with Houston taking on Seattle. You already told

1549
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:33,920
Speaker 3: us C. J. Stroud was your take a chance on

1550
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,920
Speaker 3: me quarterbacks. So there's got to be some players you

1551
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 3: like for him to throw to.

1552
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta like Nico Collins and basically any matchup,

1553
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:42,760
Speaker 1: but this is a pretty decent one. The Seahawks have

1554
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:45,719
Speaker 1: surrendered five wide receiver touchdowns over the last three games,

1555
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 1: and I mentioned earlier their secondary just ravaged by injury

1556
01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 1: right now, So Nico a grade for him. I'm gonna

1557
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:56,599
Speaker 1: give Christian Kirk throw a Sea dart at Kirk. Seattle

1558
01:16:56,640 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 1: has allowed the ninth most PPR points of per target

1559
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 1: receiving yards per game to slot receivers this year, and

1560
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 1: Kirk is a slot receiver, So a Sea grade for

1561
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 1: him and a sever Dalton Schultz. The Seahawks have yielded

1562
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,759
Speaker 1: solid games to opposing tight ends in recent weeks. Juwan

1563
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 1: Johnson Jack Stole combined for eight catches seventy plus yards

1564
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 1: in a touchdown. Trey McBride caught seven balls for fifty

1565
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 1: two yards the last week. Kay otten four catches for

1566
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 1: eighty one yards. Not last week. That was a week five.

1567
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but good games for tight ends against the Seahawks.

1568
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: So Schultz gets to see. But I got a bench

1569
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,639
Speaker 1: both Nick Chubb and Woody Marx. It looked like Woody

1570
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 1: Marx was about to take over the lead rollback prior

1571
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 1: to Week six, but it was all Nick Chubb in

1572
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 1: the first half. He didn't do much, but the Woody

1573
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 1: Marx didn't do much either, neither. We'll probably do anything

1574
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,719
Speaker 1: against Seattle, who was allowed the second fewest rushing yards

1575
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 1: per game and the lowest explosive run rate and yards

1576
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 1: after contact per attempt to running backs so far. So

1577
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 1: I got Chubb and Marx on the bench over the

1578
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 1: Seahawks running back. Zach charbone Is might take a chance

1579
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 1: on me running back. I listed all the reasons there.

1580
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 1: It's a solid matchup for running backs. I was gonna

1581
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 1: bench Kenneth Walker. I'll give him a ce because, like

1582
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:15,599
Speaker 1: you said, charge that the path least resistance is through

1583
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 1: the ground against the Texans. So but man thirty five

1584
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 1: percent snapshare for Kenneth Walker last week, just nineteen of

1585
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: fifty five snaps played for Walker. I'll give him a

1586
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 1: sympathy see here, just in the event he goes off,

1587
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:31,800
Speaker 1: and I'll get you know, hate tweets thrown my way.

1588
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 2: But I like sharbon Ay more than the two.

1589
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:38,479
Speaker 1: He's clearly the goal line back among among this you

1590
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:41,559
Speaker 1: know split, and he's playing more snaps as of late.

1591
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 1: So strong sea for Charbonay, sawt for Walker, strongest of

1592
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:51,520
Speaker 1: a's for Jackson Smith and JIGBA League winner right now. Essentially,

1593
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't care about the matchup. You got to start

1594
01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 1: him regardless. I'm not starting Cooper Cup though he sawesome

1595
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 1: vintage Cup last week, beautiful touchdown catch or Sam Donald

1596
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 1: put it on the button. My pants are sliding off

1597
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: right now just thinking about it. But I'm leaning on

1598
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 1: sitting Cup this week. Houston has allowed the six a

1599
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 1: fewest PPR points per target and the eleventh fewest points

1600
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:17,720
Speaker 1: per game to slot receivers so far. So Cup is

1601
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 1: on the bench as his tight end AJ Barner, who

1602
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 1: has been an absolute beast to start the season. But

1603
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:27,040
Speaker 1: Houston allowing the fifth few was receiving yards per game

1604
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 1: to tight ends Elijah Royo is still a threat to

1605
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 1: steal some targets.

1606
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 2: So I got Barner on the bench. And even though.

1607
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 1: It's obviously not a great matchup for the passing game,

1608
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 1: I do have to give my boy Sam Donald to

1609
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 1: see he's got JSN to throw to. Here's one stat

1610
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 1: for you. I could give you twenty stats on Donald

1611
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 1: that are incredible so far, not surprising to me, of course,

1612
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:52,879
Speaker 1: but nineteenth in pass attempts he has thrown fewer passes

1613
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:56,679
Speaker 1: Sam Donald has than Mac Jones. But guess who's third

1614
01:19:56,680 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 1: in passing yards in the whole league, Sam Donald?

1615
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,760
Speaker 2: Sam Donald? Yes, my boy, C grade should be a B.

1616
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 2: I'll given a B just for the hell of it.

1617
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:09,080
Speaker 2: I can't go with you on Donald on this one.

1618
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 3: This is the toughest matchup of his season against Houston.

1619
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 3: They've allowed the fewest passing touchdowns just three all year,

1620
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:18,640
Speaker 3: the fifth fewest passing yards. I just I think this

1621
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 3: is a tough matchup and you are Donald drunk, my

1622
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 3: man that I can't trust your B grade on Sam Donald,

1623
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:24,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1624
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 2: We'll see, yeah, thor.

1625
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 3: Let's go to our final matchup Monday night, Tampa Bay

1626
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:32,360
Speaker 3: taking on Detroit.

1627
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:36,280
Speaker 2: Is Brian done talking about Sam Donald yet? Can I start?

1628
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 6: No?

1629
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 2: Not yet.

1630
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:40,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna give me a crap about talking about a

1631
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 1: quarterback too much?

1632
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 5: Lines quarterback Jared Goff. He's a must start aide. Despite

1633
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:52,719
Speaker 5: some disappointing performances over the last month. He had fewer

1634
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:54,719
Speaker 5: than two hundred five passing our three of his last

1635
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:57,760
Speaker 5: four games. But this is a projected shootout big time here.

1636
01:20:58,120 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 5: This is second to only that Commanders game. We were

1637
01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 5: just talking about. With a total on the NFL board

1638
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 5: over fifty points. The Buccaneers ranked twenty third fantasy points

1639
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:09,640
Speaker 5: per game allowed to opposing quarterbacks and a group that

1640
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:13,600
Speaker 5: Brian just got torched by the aforementioned Sam Darnold in

1641
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 5: Week five, where Sam through for three hundred and forty

1642
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 5: one yards and four touchdowns.

1643
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 2: I like Jerry goff to get back on track.

1644
01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:21,679
Speaker 5: David Montgomery, I'm gonna give him a se He's eclipsed

1645
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 5: thirteen fantasy points in three of only Detroit six games.

1646
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 5: Those were the three games where he was a startable

1647
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 5: fantasy running back. I did find it interesting that the

1648
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:33,720
Speaker 5: Lions themselves seemed to acknowledge that that some ownership in

1649
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 5: that for the inconsistency. Head coach Dan Campbell and assistant

1650
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,479
Speaker 5: head coach Scotty Montgomery both told the media this week

1651
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 5: that they want to get Montgomery the ballmore, but Tampa

1652
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 5: Bay run defense top ten in most metrics. That plus

1653
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 5: needing to see the increased usage before I can believe it,

1654
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:52,600
Speaker 5: leads me to only a C grade on David Montgomery,

1655
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:56,360
Speaker 5: Jamier Gibbs, and Amanras Saint Browner obvious must start a's

1656
01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 5: Jamison Williams.

1657
01:21:57,600 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 2: I gave a B in this matchup.

1658
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,200
Speaker 5: He had a season high six catches in Week six

1659
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 5: at Kansas City and he scored only a second touchdown

1660
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,680
Speaker 5: of the year. Williams had five catches for seventy nine

1661
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 5: yards on eleven targets against Tampa Bay in Week two

1662
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 5: last year. This is going to be a high scoring game,

1663
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 5: like I mentioned, so I bump him to a be.

1664
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 5: Sam Laporte is a must start A. Moving over to

1665
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:21,120
Speaker 5: the Buccaneers, Baker Mayfield is obviously a must start A

1666
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:24,639
Speaker 5: and those MVP chants were for him. Rashad White gets

1667
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:26,719
Speaker 5: a B grade in this one. With Bucky Irving out,

1668
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 5: White was excellent Week six against San Francisco with eighteen

1669
01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:33,080
Speaker 5: PPR points. He's actually at forty points seven PPR points

1670
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 5: you combine the game before that, the two games win

1671
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:38,760
Speaker 5: Bucky Irving's been out with that shoulder injury. White has

1672
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:41,680
Speaker 5: seven catches for fifty one yards on seven targets.

1673
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:42,679
Speaker 2: Those last two games.

1674
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:45,400
Speaker 5: And with a mega BUCA and Chris Godwin appearing to

1675
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 5: be out for this game, and Mike Evans right now

1676
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 5: a game time decision, Rashaw White's gonna be plenty used

1677
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:53,519
Speaker 5: in the passing game. The Lions are number six and

1678
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:56,599
Speaker 5: fewest fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. But again

1679
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 5: because of the usage here, I give Rashaw White a B.

1680
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:02,439
Speaker 5: Mention in a Mechaic book and Chris Godwin both appear

1681
01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:05,679
Speaker 5: to be out for this weekend. Neither practice on Friday.

1682
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:08,719
Speaker 5: Evans with his hamstring injury. He was limited in practice

1683
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:11,559
Speaker 5: on Thursday, then he didn't practice on Friday.

1684
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 2: There are disparate theories for why that is.

1685
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:15,880
Speaker 5: Some people think, you know, step back, he's not going

1686
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 5: to play on Sunday. Some people think he was just

1687
01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:20,759
Speaker 5: given a maintenance day after working it out on Thursday

1688
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 5: because he's going to play on Monday. What we're just

1689
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 5: going to have to see on that. I would give

1690
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 5: him Mike Evans a B, though if he plays in

1691
01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:29,640
Speaker 5: this game. We know that Sterling Shepherd's gonna play in

1692
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:31,679
Speaker 5: this game, and I'm gonna give him a C. He's

1693
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:33,519
Speaker 5: going to be in the slot there obviously has a

1694
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:37,040
Speaker 5: ton of familiarity with his former Sooner boy Baker Mayfield.

1695
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:39,920
Speaker 5: Shepherd's seen at least four targets in five of the

1696
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 5: last six games, or five of the six games played

1697
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:45,679
Speaker 5: this season. Double digit fantasy points in two and especially

1698
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 5: if Mike Evans isn't playing with that depreciated wide receiver

1699
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 5: Corp Shepherd's gonna get plenty of targets. Mentioned before that test,

1700
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 5: Johnson is might take a chance on me player, and

1701
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 5: Kate Dotton was charge hits.

1702
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:58,839

1706
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:10,679
Speaker 3: who went to some school called Barton.

1707
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,320

Speaker 5: is generating them players for their receiving cord this week

1710
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:24,120
Speaker 5: when when Sterling Shepard like, very well, could be your

1711
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:27,519
Speaker 5: your clear number two option. You've got some injuries there,

1712
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:30,680
Speaker 5: and Tess Johnson gonna he's gonna be spotlighted again here,

1713
01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 5: isn't he charging Tess Johnson a fun rookie?
