But first time for some music, 28 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,080 Tate. From the Sports Hub Games 29 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:35,240 Network, this is fantasy football almost daily with your 30 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:46,860 host Matt Harrison. With me today, two guys who 31 00:01:46,860 --> 00:01:49,220 don't need much of an introduction at this point from 32 00:01:49,220 --> 00:01:52,340 the Fanball DFS show and just about every Fantasy Friday show 33 00:01:52,340 --> 00:01:54,660 that we did this year, it's Trevor Jones. 34 00:01:54,660 --> 00:01:59,520 And Trevor, I had lunch with Paul from Utah today and I was 35 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,400 talking up your acumen on these fantasy shows and he was like, 36 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:04,360 what? Really. 37 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,920 So there you go. Well, I'm glad I'm out there 38 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,240 surprising people 45 years old still so. 39 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,960 You, you've finally done it. You finally cracked it. 40 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,440 And since it's a third Packer Bear week, you know it's time to 41 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,600 bring back Anthony Maggio to help us navigate the playoff 42 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:22,360 picture. Maj. 43 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,480 How you feeling this week? Hey, doing, doing all right. 44 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,480 Thanks for having me. Glad to be back three Bears 45 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,600 Packers games within six weeks of each other. 46 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,760 It's kind of kind of nuts. We'll we'll dive into that match 47 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,160 up later and I'll get some predictions from you guys on 48 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,480 that one. But today we're going to deep 49 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,360 dive into all six games and we're going to go in 50 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,800 chronological order. We're also going to do it from 51 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,600 the lens of the fan ball DFS values as well. 52 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,320 For instance, a $3500 player might be a gold grade because of 53 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,360 his price tag in the matchup, but normally he might be a 54 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,280 bronze grade in traditional fantasy. 55 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,520 It's just how you play it in DFS this week, but you can use this 56 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,840 information on just about any other DFS platform, and most of 57 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,360 it transfers over if you're playing in a playoff fantasy 58 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,400 league. This show is relevant in how you 59 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,880 figure out how to set your lineups, if it's a weekly lineup 60 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,600 or if it's a a lineup for the full season. 61 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,280 Trevor, let's just dive right into it. 62 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,960 Let's start with the Rams and Panthers. 63 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,640 The Rams come in as the biggest favorites of the week at 10 1/2 64 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:26,680 point favorites last I checked. Is this just going to be a 65 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,680 points bonanza for the entire Rams offense? 66 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,040 Yeah, I think for the most part it will be. 67 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,000 We'll start with Stafford in the passing game. 68 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,640 He's a 6800 on fan ball, but give him a silver he did with in 69 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,640 this exact spot against Caroline in Week 13. 70 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,840 He had just 243 yards, 2 touchdowns and three turnovers. 71 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,240 Although he did clear 22 fan ball points in 10 of his 17 72 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,000 games played the year in general, which with 3X's value 73 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,520 on this price, Caroline has been an excellent pass defense. 74 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,880 Since the bye, they've held three of their four opponents 75 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,000 below 200 passing yards. That said, it's not a 76 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,960 particularly scary match up and the Rams lead the league 77 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,160 offensive touchdowns. Further boosting Stafford is the 78 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,440 expected return of Devante Adams, also at 6800. 79 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,000 And I'm giving him a silver as well. 80 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,400 Devante has really evolved into a touchdowns or bust option. 81 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,519 In the five games he which he didn't score this year, his 82 00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:19,560 average line was 4 catches, 56 yards and the games he did score 83 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,680 4 catches, 57 yards. However, in the 14 games he did 84 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,960 play, we got 14 touchdowns. So it really is. 85 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,600 He's giving you the same stuff. It's just did you get a 86 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,480 touchdown? I will note Carolina's only 87 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,240 given up two wide receiver touchdowns in the last four 88 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,920 games. Not that it was the best 89 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,600 opponents, but not the worst opponents either. 90 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,200 Puka, He's 8800 most expensive player on the slate. 91 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,480 He's getting a goal over his last five. 92 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,040 His line is his average line, 8 1/2 catches, 140 yards and over 93 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,800 a touchdown per. He did flop against Carolina in 94 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,160 this spot earlier as well. Not putting a ton of stock into 95 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,600 that one. I don't think Stafford's going 96 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,800 to turn it over three times again. 97 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,080 Obviously Puka's super expensive and will want to play him, CMC, 98 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,040 some of these other guys. I think I'm starting my lineups 99 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,160 with Puka and we'll figure out the rest from there. 100 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,080 Tight ends got a little more interesting recently with Tyler 101 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,520 Higbee returning last week. He's 3200. 102 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,480 I'm giving him and Colby Parkinson bronze greats. 103 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,600 Colby Parkinson at 3800, a little more expensive. 104 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,480 Parkinson had the lead role to himself for a few weeks when 105 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,120 Higbee was out, although Higbee's first game back he saw 106 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,520 64% of the snaps. Parkinson still saw 84% though. 107 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,840 Allen has one, Sorry David Davis. 108 00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:26,520 Allen also runs much snaps, but he doesn't catch the ball. 109 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,840 Ignore him. Tyler Higbee turned his playing 110 00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:31,320 time last week into A5 for 91 and one line. 111 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,040 Parkinson, meanwhile, has 8 touchdowns since Week 10. 112 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,800 Five targets, all but one of his last six games. 113 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,560 Panthers are not a good pass defense against the tight end. 114 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,720 Considering pricing that we need savings somewhere. 115 00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:48,960 I do prefer Tyler Higbee over Parkinson, and then we'll stick 116 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,120 with the running backs for our last Rams guys here, Kyron's at 117 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,160 6700 and Blake Korum's at 4800. Korum's really started eating 118 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,840 into Kyron's work workload recently as I called, what was 119 00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:05,000 it four or five weeks ago on the two tough nuts to crack segment. 120 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,800 Just a little Peacock myself there. 121 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,160 Since week 14, Korum's averaged nearly 12 touches a game. 122 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,200 He's got 4 touchdowns in those five, and Kyron's been solid but 123 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,120 not spectacular all year, just three games above 20 fan ball 124 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,080 points and two games below 10 fan ball points. 125 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,360 He fell in between those two marks in the 12 other games this 126 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,160 year. Carolina's not a good defensive 127 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,920 defending the backs, allowing almost 5 yards of carry bottom 128 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,080 10 and combo yards of touchdowns allowed to backs. 129 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,120 I'm giving both bronzes, but I don't see myself playing Kyron 130 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,040 for price adjusted. I think I go Blake Horam over 131 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,080 over Kyron this week. On the other side, there's just 132 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,680 not a lot here. The Panthers only have an 18 133 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,400 point projected team total from Vegas. 134 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,400 Bryce Downs 5300 He's cleared the 200 yard passing mark just 135 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,800 four times this season, although one of them was the 206 and 136 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,800 three touchdowns against LA in Week 13. 137 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,560 Bryce is a low volume, inefficient passer. 138 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,560 This Rams defense has permitted just three 300 yard passing 139 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,720 games all season. Maybe there's some garbage time 140 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,320 here, but I'm going to keep Bryce on the bench. 141 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,160 Ted has been kind of similar to Kyron Williams that he usually 142 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,920 gets you like 10 to 15 fan ball points and not much more. 143 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,920 He has just one game over 19 all year. 144 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,960 His targets are all over the place, 224104 and six in his 145 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,040 last five. So there's just no consistency 146 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,880 there. However, the Rams had been 147 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,560 cashed, really cashed by #1 receivers recently. 148 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,680 In just the past four games, they've given up 599 and one to 149 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,480 Mike Wilson, 896 and one to JSN 13 from 164 to 2 to a Monra. 150 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,880 Jameson Williams had 7134 and 1. So we're going to keep tight 151 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,640 live with bronze again, maybe enough garbage time here to keep 152 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,360 him live. The Rams are bottom 10 in 153 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,280 catches and yards allowed to the position. 154 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,120 I'm keeping Jalen Coker on the bench at 4300. 155 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,200 He's topped just 4 catches once all year. 156 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,680 His ceiling yard game was 74. I just, yeah. 157 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,840 Say that much more about Jalen Coker. 158 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,800 That's fine. Yep Xavier look at 200 edge him, 159 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,400 he doesn't play enough. Tommy Trimble 3100. 160 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,040 It's maybe like a silver or Shibuichi a year. 161 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,480 So Trimble played 90% of the snaps last week and he had three 162 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,560 for 381L as allowed the 4th least cards yards to tight ends. 163 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,880 So I'd prefer Higbee at $100 more, but you could do worse If 164 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,040 we need Trumbull and Higbee to fit in CMC and poop in those 165 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,200 guys, and then we'll finish it off at the running back 166 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,800 position. I'm going to kick Chuba on the 167 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,080 bench at 4600. He's eclipsed 10 fan ball points 168 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,640 just once since Week 3. Doesn't have double digit 169 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,560 touches since week 13. Rico Dowbell hasn't played well 170 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,840 really recently either. 5700 for him. 171 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,600 Just one touchdown since week 11 for Rico. 172 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,200 The Rams do have a good run defense as well, allowing just 173 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,559 six rushing touchdowns all season. 174 00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:42,679 They are bottom 10 in catches and receiving yards allowed to 175 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,880 the position, though. Rico is second on the team in 176 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,120 receptions. So if there's some room there, 177 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,200 it's probably Rico. If there's a touchdown to be 178 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,240 scored, it's Rico. He scored out six of his eight 179 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,760 touches inside the five. Shuba has one score from inside 180 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,800 the five all year. Otherwise, I think he can kind 181 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,160 of bench everybody. Tommy trembles. 182 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,160 The only guy I feel kind of OK about from the Panthers. 183 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,000 All right, we move on to the next game, and because I'm the 184 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,120 Viking fan and we have a Bears fan and a Packer fan on this 185 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,240 broadcast, I get to go second because there's no way you guys 186 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,960 can be rational about this game. Yeah, Packers and Bears. 187 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,960 So before we get started, Maj. final score prediction of this 188 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:27,320 game. Bears 75 Packers -2. 189 00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:31,440 But. That's just the inverse of mine. 190 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,360 So yeah, I'll, I'll say 2421 pack. 191 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,840 OK, you see what I'm working with here. 192 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,040 So Jordan Love, he's the cheapest quarterback on the fan 193 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,640 ball slate this week. He's probably my favorite option 194 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,520 at quarterback though. At 5900. 195 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,920 We're now three full weeks removed from the concussion. 196 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,640 Last full game against the Bears, 234 and 3 touchdowns. 197 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,280 The other meeting he was 13 or 8 for 13 for 77 yards before going 198 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,360 out. With that concussion, the Bears 199 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,760 have given over given up over 300 passing yards to both 200 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,840 quarterbacks they faced in the last two weeks. 201 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,000 By the way, they seemingly needed to win though the both of 202 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,680 those they wanted the one seed they could have taken that 203 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,120 possibly had had they won that game against San Francisco. 204 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,360 That didn't work. Purdy gouged them for three O 3 205 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,920 and three through the air and then two rushing scores and in a 206 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,680 game they needed to win to keep the two seed. 207 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,600 Goff had 331 and a touch last week. 208 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,520 You know, fortunately for them the the Eagles didn't play 209 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,200 anybody and lost as well. So Chicago allows the 4th most 210 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,840 passing scorers in the league this year. 211 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,960 So it's a gold grade for Love and I like his favorite target 212 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,920 Christian Watson at 5500 as well with a gold grade. 213 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,720 In Love's full game against Chicago, Watson had four 214 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,000 catches, 89 yards and two scores. 215 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,200 Quarterback Kyler Gordon looks like he's going to go for the 216 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,560 Bears. But still, the Bear secondary 217 00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:55,000 has been one of the worst units in football all year. 218 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,760 And if it's a shootout, that's great for fantasy, that's great 219 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,160 for all of us putting a bunch of players in this game. 220 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,360 But it's probably even better for Watson, who gets a dinged up 221 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,760 Gordon, who has 139 passer rating in his coverage this 222 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,520 year, or he gets Jaylen Johnson, who's played 20 snaps, or he 223 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,120 gets Nashon Wright, who's allowed seven touchdowns in his 224 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,040 coverage this year. So for much of those same 225 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,960 reasons, I like Romeo Dobbs and Jaden Reed quite a bit as well. 226 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,320 Both get silver grades for me, and both are pretty nice at a 227 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,400 discount here. Reed is 4800, Dobbs is 4700. 228 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,560 And I think if you're looking at it from a standpoint of what 229 00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:34,800 kind of risk do you want to put in your game, Dobbs is the more 230 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,200 high risk, high reward guy. He's got more touchdown 231 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,560 potential. So if you're swinging for the 232 00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:41,320 fences, use Dobbs and save 100 bucks. 233 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,760 If you want a little bit more safety in your line up, I think 234 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,600 Reed gets more targets and catches. 235 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,760 He's probably the safer play. Josh Jacobs at 6600. 236 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,840 He's been hurt for basically a month and a half. 237 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,080 The good news is he took last week off. 238 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,320 He only had four carries in Baltimore the week before, and 239 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,880 he's probably as healthy as he's been in a long time. 240 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,440 Chicago's been up and down against the run. 241 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,520 Gibbs and McCaffrey each gouged them in the last two weeks, and 242 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,120 they do allow the fourth highest yards per carry in the league 243 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,600 this year at 4.8. Still, I'm a little nervous 244 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,680 about the health of Josh Jacobs, and they might mix in Emmanuel 245 00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:19,880 Wilson more than Jacobs people want to admit. 246 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,400 But I'm still good enough for a silver grade on Josh Jacobs 247 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,280 here. DeAndre Swift on the other side, 248 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,320 he gets a silver grade as well. Only 6000 for his salary. 249 00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:32,840 Manangai will take some touches, that's for sure. 250 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,840 But Swift has gotten quality touches over the past few weeks 251 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,560 and come up with 320 point plus PPR games in his last five 252 00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:42,520 outings. The two that he didn't get 253 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,920 there, they were against the Packers. 254 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,480 That's the problem. Green Bay hasn't, or Green Bay 255 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,960 has seen a bunch of injuries on their defensive line in the last 256 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,440 few weeks just alone. They struggled to keep Derrick 257 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,720 Henry and Jordan Mason in check over the last two weeks, but 258 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,560 obviously Jordan Mason was playing against mostly the 259 00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:04,160 backups for Green Bay. Mananga is down at 5100. 260 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,480 You can't give him better than a bronze grade as the 1B to 261 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,320 Swift's 1A, but I think DeAndre Swift's a pretty solid play in 262 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,840 this game. Caleb Williams, I've got a gold 263 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,360 grade on, though he's at 6100. He's the third cheapest option 264 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,120 on the slate. Exactly 2 touchdown passes in 265 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,520 five straight games, including both against Green Bay. 266 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,360 Since Micah Parsons went down, the pack haven't been good as a 267 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,920 pass D3. Of the last four games in which 268 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,200 a quarterback is started and finished, they've allowed over 269 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,440 250 passing yards. All three of those games 270 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,920 included multiple passing scores, which means I like Caleb 271 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,560 a lot. But here's where it gets 272 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:44,000 interesting. Roma Dunze, he says he's 273 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,120 playing. He's so he's back. 274 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,120 He's 5400. Luther Burden and DJ Moore are 275 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,640 in play as well. Moore is 5300, Burden is 5000. 276 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,400 So the correct answer is you probably don't play any of them 277 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,360 in Adfs lineup because you'll probably choose wrong. 278 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,960 They're basically the same price tag. 279 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,560 I'll give them all bronze grades though. 280 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,480 Burden probably has the best match up out of the slot against 281 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,120 safety Javon Bullard, but Keyshawn Nixon and Carrington 282 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,800 Valentine on the perimeters. They've allowed 12 touchdowns on 283 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,240 the year between the two of them. 284 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,000 So either a Doonese or DJ Moore will probably score in this 285 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,640 game. I just don't know which one it's 286 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,280 going to be. So I, I, I feel like there's 287 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,120 going to be some good games had by some of these wide receivers 288 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,680 and maybe two of the three have a good game, but at the same 289 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,280 price tag. I, I don't know if I just want 290 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,880 to pick. I think I'd rather just take 291 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,760 Caleb and then I'd rather take Colston Loveland at 4800. 292 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,520 He's my favorite of the Chicago wide receivers this week. 13 293 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,840 targets last week, turn that into 10 catches, 91 yards in a 294 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,240 score, 10 targets the week before, 6 for 94 and one in that 295 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,360 game against San Francisco and he's very quickly turning into a 296 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,840 top five tight end in the league. 297 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,680 And the go to guy for Caleb on 3rd downs, he's certainly the 298 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,000 receiver that gets the most targets and he's the lowest 299 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,320 priced receiver. So it's a gold grade for 300 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:11,040 Loveland and Trevor and Maj. Do you feel I did it justice? 301 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,520 How did I do with your two squads here? 302 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,800 Yeah, no, great job. I gave it a bronze. 303 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,800 No, I it was. It's funny, you got both 304 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,720 quarterbacks with golds and there are three of the six games 305 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,360 this weekend, 3 have higher over unders than this one. 306 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,000 So I guess we're expecting fantasy points galore in these 307 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,960 playoff weeks. I personally think they they 308 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,920 messed up on this over under in this game and I think that this 309 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,040 one's probably the highest scoring playoff game of the 310 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,520 weekend. That's just me though. 311 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,800 I just think both teams really want to run the ball like #1 312 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,400 with a ball that we want to run the ball 55% of the time, which 313 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,400 that's I. I see what you mean though. 314 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,920 I think both defenses are kind of right for the getting, but 315 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,680 both offenses really want to play slow I think. 316 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,480 It could be both offenses play slow through halftime and then 317 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,480 they both just open it up and put the gas down and and the 318 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,000 second-half is absolutely wild. I'm hoping for that. 319 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,040 I mean, the Bears offensive line is like top three in the league 320 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,760 in run blocking, you know, the second-half of the season. 321 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,720 But Ben John just likes to throw the ball. 322 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,080 Caleb's, you know, his pass completion rate is definitely 323 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,080 bottom half of the league. It might be bottom quarter 324 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,560 actually. And you know, but he just can't 325 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,120 help himself. He's got to pass the ball. 326 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,160 So we'll we'll see. I think you know, Trevor, you're 327 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,000 you're exactly right. These are both teams that want 328 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,280 to run. It's cold weather game in 329 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,600 Chicago, but they both got firepower and defenses right for 330 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,560 the Pickens. So see how it goes. 331 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,320 I'm excited to watch that one on Saturday night. 332 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,760 And that's it for the Saturday Games. 333 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,320 Before we dive into the Sunday Games, we've got a huge fantasy 334 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,280 golf contest coming up next Thursday. 335 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,600 Thursday Pat Mayo is here to tell you all about the Mayo Cup. 336 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,520 All right people, it's that time of year again. 337 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,000 The Mayo Cup is officially open.

But here's the quarterbacks they 359 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,960 faced in that eight game-winning streak. 360 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,600 Justin Herbert, Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Riley Leonard, Brady 361 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,240 Cook, Bo Nicks, Phillip Rivers and Brandon Allen. 362 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,080 Only two of those players started in week one. 363 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,200 Will Josh Allen get the best of them on Sunday? 364 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,400 Yeah, I mean, he's the QB one for a reason. 365 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,560 Price tag wise about 7300. The Bills have an implied team 366 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,440 total here of 26 1/2. They're actually one point 367 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,320 favorites in Jacksonville. But this is your sort of regular 368 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,400 reminder that Vegas sets those lines based on how they think 369 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,920 people will bet, not how they think the game will go. 370 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,680 It just always ends up working itself out in the end. 371 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:58,400 So this is 1 where I have a silver on and now and I can't 372 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,840 remember I said that he it's, it's a tough Rd. match up. 373 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,360 You know, he finally did get some rest last week after a 374 00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:08,160 couple of tough outings with no touchdown passes in two straight 375 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,480 games, managed to buoy his fantasy scoring in one of those 376 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,680 with rushing scores. You know, he still has seven or 377 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,240 more rushing attempts and five straight, not counting, of 378 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,760 course, the single snap outing last week. 379 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,480 Jags, though, they just haven't allowed multiple touchdown 380 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,320 passes in the game since Davis Mills back in Week 10. 381 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,520 Yeah, you talked about that murderers row of quarterbacks, 382 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,040 but it's not like Jacoby Brunson wasn't throwing touchdowns, 383 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,840 right, though Nix took his team to a one seed. 384 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:40,720 So it's yeah, that that that quarterback, that quarterback 385 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,520 group is is something. But I can't give Alan a gold 386 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:48,200 here just because on the road against a very good defense, you 387 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,840 know, against the opposing quarterbacks as far as as pass 388 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,520 catchers go, I have at the wide receiver position. 389 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,480 I have a couple of bronzes, one for Khalil Shakur, who's priced 390 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,280 at 4900. That's wide receiver 20 as far 391 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,160 as pricing goes. And Brandon Cooks is actually at 392 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,720 3300. He's the other bronze. 393 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,400 I'm going to start with Shakur. You know, he he just keeps, you 394 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,760 know, being involved with decent target numbers. 395 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,480 But he just he hasn't had a big game loss since actually week 12 396 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,040 against Houston. The the glimmer of hope there is 397 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,280 that the Texans are. Actually, another tough match up 398 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,960 for slot receivers and, and Shakur got him for 8/1/10 on 10 399 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,480 targets. And you do figure this is a game 400 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,160 where Josh Allen's going to have to throw to keep up. 401 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,520 But Shakur's just got 4 touchdowns all season. 402 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,160 He's found Peter just once in his last nine games. 403 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,120 So it's not like a that, you know, that huge upside here that 404 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,280 hence just the, the, the bronze there. 405 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,040 And with Cook's, I have the bronze mostly due to that price 406 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,000 tag. You know, he's clearly on the 407 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,800 back nine of his career. Speaking of golf, fantasy golf, 408 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,760 big time playoff performances, though, you know, in the past 409 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,880 he's only been with the bills since week 13. 410 00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:00,760 He saw a snapshot actually jump to 51% in week 17. 411 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,160 So he's been kind of steadily moving up and then they arrested 412 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,240 him along with Khalil Shakur in week 18. 413 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,760 I think that really says something given that, you know, 414 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,840 rotation of wide receivers they have. 415 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,800 He saw a season high 6 targets and went four one O 1 no 416 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,680 touchdowns against Philly in that week 17 game I mentioned. 417 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,280 So he's actually been trending up here and if you're trying to 418 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,480 fit in high price guys, you know your puka and your CMC, this is 419 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,400 actually a spot where you might be able to save some money and 420 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,120 still get a decent outcome. I'm benching Keon Coleman 3200 421 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,120 healthy scratch three weeks before that week 18 punt. 422 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,120 Josh Palmer's actually didn't didn't practice Wednesday or 423 00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:41,120 Thursday with the ankle injury and he also played a bunch in 424 00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:43,720 week 18. Tyrell Shavers is the other guy 425 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,720 at just 3000, but you know that he's not getting enough work. 426 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,840 You know, only 6 combined targets in weeks 14 through 17. 427 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,920 So if you want to go a cheap receiver, it's Brandon Cooks. 428 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,240 You ignore those other guys. The tight end spot, you got 429 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,200 Dalton Kincaid at 4100. That's the fifth most expensive 430 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,760 tight end. I have a silver grade on him. 431 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,000 He has been hobbled most of the season as we know. 432 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,880 He did catch 3 passes in week 18 though, and he could have and 433 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,680 arguably should have been resting. 434 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,440 So I, I don't think, you know, despite the limited practices 435 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,600 this week, I, I don't think he's going to be limited in the game. 436 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,240 And Jacksonville has allowed eight tight end touchdowns this 437 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,720 season. They've just been much more 438 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,200 vulnerable there than against wide receivers. 439 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,880 So hence, you know, that that silver grade, you know, I do 440 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,280 think he's got a almost better opportunity than either of those 441 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,400 wide receivers I'm benching. Dawson knocks at 3300. 442 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,600 He just seems to do enough to get in Kincaid's way when 443 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,880 they're both healthy. But even when he catches the 444 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,760 touchdown, he struggles to really reach double digit 445 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,480 fantasy points. Running back for the Bills, 446 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,680 James Cook, 7500. He's the second most expensive 447 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,160 behind CMC. I I started with a bronze on 448 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,520 him. I put him, I moved him up to 449 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,000 silver. Ty Johnson, the passing down 450 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,400 back he has been DNP Wednesday and Thursday we're recording 451 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,000 this 220 mountain time, everybody's favorite time zone 452 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,040 right now. DNP Wednesday and Thursday with 453 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,480 the ankle officially questionable. 454 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,320 You know, if he goes I I think that, you know, cook sort of in 455 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,400 bronze silver borderline territory, but without Johnson, 456 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,320 I you know, Ray Davis isn't going to come in and and chew up 457 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,880 those passing down snaps. I think they just really rely 458 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,280 even more on James Cook in that scenario. 459 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,280 Now, Jaguars were one of the most difficult matchups for 460 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,760 fantasy running backs this season. 461 00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:32,000 However, RJ Harvey, Jonathan Taylor, twice Van Knight, Ash 462 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,840 and Gente Isaiah Davis, Woody Marks all had solid fantasy days 463 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,880 against them since week 9. So it's trended. 464 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,240 You know, they've started to give up a little more in the 465 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,240 back half of the season. Thing is, RJ Harvey was the only 466 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,120 one of those guys who actually eclipsed 20 PPR fantasy points. 467 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,200 So, so there's not been a ton of huge ceiling games, but there's 468 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,640 been usable games. You kind of want a ceiling game 469 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:58,880 if you're spending 7500 at the running back position with as 470 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,160 far as that receiving game work, he doesn't have more than two 471 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,240 catches in a game since week 13. He does have 18 or more 472 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,320 opportunities in all but two games this season. 473 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,000 So that's why that Ty Johnson thing is so important. 474 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,560 If he goes from 2 catches to five catches, those three, you 475 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,760 know, that's a half touchdown right there just from receiving 476 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,720 the football. So that's important news to 477 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,800 watch before that game kicks off. 478 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,640 Jaguar side implied team total 25 1/2. 479 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,000 Like I said, they're one point dogs in this home game. 480 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,160 And this is a Bills defense that is really banged up. 481 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,120 Maxwell Harrison, cornerback, he's out for this one. 482 00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:34,680 Terrell Bernard, linebacker, questionable. 483 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,200 He's got two straight DNPS right now. 484 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,480 It's not looking great for him. You've got Jordan Poyer at 485 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,200 safety. Shaq Thompson and linebacker 486 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,800 both limited in practice. Players missed the last two 487 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,720 games. Thompson sat out Week 18. 488 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,200 Like they've got some real problems, problems right now as 489 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,840 far as health on that defense. And this Jaguars offense has 490 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,800 just been beaten up on people. So Trevor Lawrence at 6600 is 491 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,200 the QB 5 right now. As far as Price goes, he's 492 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,000 behind Alan May, Stafford and Hertz. 493 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,440 I have a gold grade. And like I said, we've got we're 494 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,440 going to have a lot of gold grade quarterbacks it sounds 495 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,760 like here. But you know, Burrow and Drake 496 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,680 May both had huge days against the Bills defense weeks 14 and 497 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,440 15. Even Sugar Sanders went for 16.8 498 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,880 points in week 16. Yeah, Davis Mills for 16.1 and 499 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,200 week 12. So yes, Jalen Hurt struggled in 500 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,200 week 17, but that Eagles offense has been sputtering lately. 501 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,400 So I really think this is all systems go for Lawrence, who's 502 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,960 got a 15 to 1 touchdown to interception ratio in his last 503 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,280 six. He's also got another 4 rushing 504 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,000 touchdowns in that stretch. Dude's just been balling. 505 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,360 The only thing I'm really kind of paying attention to there is 506 00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:43,440 Cole Van Lanen there recently extended left tackle as of like 507 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,440 3 days ago. He left Week 18 early with a 508 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,000 knee injury and did not practice on Wednesday. 509 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,000 So obviously that would be big if if he misses, but we'll have 510 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,200 to just keep an eye on that. As far as his past catchers go, 511 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,080 this is another kind of interesting situation. 512 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,480 It's kind of similar to the the the Packers and Bears we were 513 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,280 talking about because they have so many guys at their disposal. 514 00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:09,880 Jacoby Myers at 5600 is the most expensive of them. 515 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,920 I have him as a bronze grade. Bills have been solid against 516 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,640 wide receivers. T Higgins 2 touchdowns are the 517 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,400 only wide receiver scores against Buffalo in their last 518 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,600 six games, which is shocking especially considering all those 519 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,880 injuries I just mentioned. Myers has not found the end zone 520 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,400 for four straight games. He does have six or more targets 521 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,760 though an 8 straight now. His low marks, like if you just 522 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,200 combine everything are 4 catches and 39 yards in that stretch, 523 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,280 which would be just under 8 fantasy points. 524 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,400 Given that he hasn't topped 45 yards and three straight though, 525 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,760 I do expect he's going to be low owned here in a game where I 526 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,760 expect Jacksonville to score a lot of points. 527 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,120 So I don't think he's a terrible tournament player. 528 00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:49,400 I guess I think I said I've got a bronze grade on him. 529 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,680 This is actually kind of a paying up to the contrarian spot 530 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,680 in DFS tournaments. Parker Washington's the guy $200 531 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:01,040 less 5400 that got a gold grade on just given that lower price 532 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,040 tag in his recent performance. I just, I, I expect him to be 533 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,040 pretty chalky to be honest with you. 534 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,280 Certainly far more owned than Jacoby Myers, hence that paying 535 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,920 up to be contrarian with Washington. 29 targets in his 536 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,080 last three games. He's got 2 touchdown in that 537 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,440 stretch. 87 yards is his low watermark and he's got 145 yard 538 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,000 performance against Denver in there on the road. 539 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,280 So like I said, probably probably eaten some chalk here. 540 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,280 But at that price tag, it's hard to say no to Parker Washington. 541 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,320 And then I have Brian Thomas on the bench at 5100. 542 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,200 He's just been an afterthought in the passing game at this 543 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,720 point. Only one touchdown is his last 544 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,480 eight games. Three straight games under 50 545 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,840 yards. Doesn't have more than 7 targets 546 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,720 in a game since Myers got to Jacksonville from Vegas and his 547 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,640 high watermarks 87 yards. So like I said, I'd rather eat 548 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,280 the chalk or pay up for Myers than than mess around there with 549 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,520 Thomas. Another interesting option could 550 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,160 be Brendan Strange. 3700 bucks so he's tight end 8. 551 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,800 From a price standpoint. I just have a bronze grade on 552 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,960 him, though he does have 18 targets his last three games, a 553 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,240 couple of touchdowns in there and two games over 50 yards. 554 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,000 You know, not too bad for its side end, right? 555 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,760 And that low price tag. The only problem here, and what 556 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,080 I do think will keep him lower owned, is that Buffalo has been 557 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,720 really the best defense against tight ends this season. 558 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,920 Mike Koseki and Harold Fannon both had solid days against the 559 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,480 Bills in the last five weeks. Dallas Scoutard actually scored 560 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,040 a touchdown in in that stretch too. 561 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,840 So there's a glimmer of hope, but there's just not been a lot 562 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,440 of fantasy scoring from tight ends against this defense. 563 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,280 And finally, the run game for Jacksonville. 564 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,120 Travis ETN, 6900. He is the fourth most expensive. 565 00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:34,720 He's behind CMC, Cook and Saquon Barkley, but I've got a gold 566 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,640 grade on him. You know, he's had a really nice 567 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,160 run here as the workhorse for Jacksonville Facial. 568 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,600 Tootin's return last week did key BTN to just 15 opportunities 569 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,160 with only one target, but that game got out of hand pretty 570 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,560 quick. Tootin didn't even get a touch 571 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,600 until the Jags were already up 21 to 7. 572 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:55,080 So, you know, the the hope here really is that Tootin's not a 573 00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:01,040 huge cap on ET NS ceiling. You know, he only had 56% 574 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,080 snapshare in that blowout. So hopefully that's not really a 575 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,720 sign of more involvement from from Bashel Tooten going into 576 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,360 the playoffs here. The Bills can absolutely be had 577 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,360 on the ground. They've given up 30 burgers to 578 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,040 five different backs this season. 579 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,840 One of those actually was a 40 burger. 580 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,200 So this is really like high end bang for mid tier buck on Travis 581 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,920 ETN. And with Tooten, I'm just 582 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,720 leaving him on the bench. He's just not getting enough 583 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:29,440 work at $4000 to, you know, warrant any consideration. 30 584 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:35,240 and 40 burgers. All right. 585 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,920 Thanks, Maj. Trevor. 586 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,960 We go to the second Sunday game where the Niners trek across the 587 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,560 country to take on the Eagles. We saw the Niners offense 588 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,920 stumble against the good Seahawks defense last week. 589 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,600 Do you expect a similar result against the Eagles this week? 590 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,040 Potentially, yeah. The Niners have a team total of 591 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,800 20 right now, which is a great we'll start with Brock Purdy. 592 00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,680 It's a tough match up for the passing game. 593 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,880 Philly's allowed the fewest passing touchdowns in the league 594 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,040 this year at just 14 before running into Seattle's buzz saw 595 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,600 defense last week. Like you mentioned, though, 596 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,280 Purdy did have 15 total touchdowns in those three prior 597 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:10,880 games. He'd also thrown for at least 598 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,080 295 in those three and they all of those games came after his 599 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,560 post war week 14 by I do think he got healthy over that by and 600 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,480 it's it's proven out over these last few. 601 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,880 So I'm giving Purdy bronze. Plus I thought he would get 602 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,040 Ricky Pearsall back. That seems much more up in the 603 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,640 air right now. He was ADMP on Wednesday and it 604 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,720 hasn't come out Thursday yet for the practice report, so we're 605 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,160 probably going to keep him on the bench. 606 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,240 Jawan Jennings at 5700. I'm going to give a bronze. 607 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,440 He's been kind of a diet Devante Adams this year. 608 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,840 He has 9 touchdowns in 15 games, but then there's no other 609 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,640 production. It's he's cleared 5 catches or 610 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:50,600 so, 75 yards just twice outside of that all season, and Philly 611 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,000 gives off the fewest tight end touch touchdowns. 612 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,920 They also let up just three wide receiver touchdowns in 2025. 613 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:01,680 I can't be right. But yeah, it's been a long week. 614 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,040 Yeah, Pierce all's been good when he's healthy, which isn't 615 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,200 often, unfortunately. He did post 6 for 96 and five 616 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,000 for 85 in his last two full games. 617 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,520 So if he plays, I'd give him the bronze. 618 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,320 And if he can't go, it's going to be Kendrick Bourne and 619 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,600 DeMarcus Robinson, who are both who are 3300 and 3000 apiece. 620 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,200 Kendrick Bourne had the big weeks earlier in the season, but 621 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,160 recently DeMarcus Robinson has been more productive. 622 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,520 Although 9 catches and one touchdown in four games compared 623 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,440 to 6 catches and 0 touchdowns for Kendrick Bourne. 624 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,240 So it's zero of one and zero of the other. 625 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,480 Keep them on the bench unless you really need some nasty 626 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,800 savings. George Kittles at 6400. 627 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:38,640 He came back from injury last week. 628 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,040 He immediately played 95% of the snaps despite clearly not being 629 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,880 fully healthy on that ankle. He also led the team in targets 630 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,200 with seven. However, it's maybe the toughest 631 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,560 tight end defense in the league. Eagles have given up just 4 632 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,560 touchdowns to the position in addition to being 1st and 2nd in 633 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,680 the fewest catches and yards allowed to the position. 634 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,560 Because the tight end slate is so bad and I think he's the best 635 00:31:58,560 --> 00:31:59,920 place. He still gets a silver, but I 636 00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:02,480 think I'd take Colston Loveland straight up over George Kittle 637 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,320 for what that's worth. CMC, I'm going to give a price. 638 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,600 Adjusted silver at 8600. The Eagles one sort of weak spot 639 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,040 or weaker spot on defenses against opposing backs. 640 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,880 They've allowed the fifth most running back receiving yards and 641 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,880 obviously CMC is the receiving back with 102 catches this year. 642 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,720 CMC only had 14 touches last week, but San Francisco only got 643 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,040 42 plays off, so even a touch of the ball and a third of the 644 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,400 plays isn't too bad. Their average plays is 63. 645 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,720 I'm a little worried about the pace of this game. 646 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,440 I think Philly's preferred play style recently is to rely on 647 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,360 their excellent defense and ask Taylor Hertz to make like one or 648 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,800 two throws in the second-half maybe. 649 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,200 You know, we've seen multiple games where Taylor Hertz doesn't 650 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,320 have a pass completion in the second. 651 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,400 So that's a little worrying. Potentially no Trent Williams as 652 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,480 well. He was DNP on Wednesday and like 653 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,960 I said earlier, I would take Huko over CMC straight up as a 654 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,840 lineup anchor. But you could play both with all 655 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,280 these 3000 kind of tight ends and receivers were throwing out 656 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,840 here. On the Eagle side, there are 657 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:02,320 closer to a 25 point team total and the San Francisco defense 658 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,800 has been kind of brutalized recently. 13 to Seattle, which 659 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,440 that was just kind of a low scoring game in general. 660 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,760 Prior to that, 49ers gave up 2427 at 38 to Camord, Phil 661 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,840 Rivers and Caleb in their free prior weeks. 662 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:19,880 Jalen Hurts at 6700. I think I'm going to go, I'll go 663 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,200 gold. I have silver written down, but 664 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,920 I'm going to go gold. And I started with the bronze 665 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,160 and I just, I kept reading more about how banged up the Niners 666 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,320 defense was and just, you know, how bad they've been recently. 667 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,240 I'll skip Hart's struggles recently because they're just 668 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,680 kind of playing to grind the clock down. 669 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,160 Let's get into the playoffs and get, you know, make a run when 670 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,560 we get there. Multiple touchdown scores 671 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,960 against San Francisco recently. Jackson Dark, Cam Ward, Phil 672 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,520 Rivers, Spencer Rattler, San Francisco's bottom 10 and 673 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,480 completions, yards and passing touchdowns allowed. 674 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,720 He's a boom or bust guy. I'll I'll stay with the goal 675 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,560 though. AJ Brown's at 7 K. 676 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,240 He gets a goal since the by is averaging almost 9 targets a 677 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,040 game. He's got 4 touchdowns in that 678 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,840 time. 2 Devante Smith's just two. 679 00:33:58,360 --> 00:33:59,800 There's room for both of them to eat here. 680 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,520 Niners or bottom third of the league catches in yards allowed 681 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,400 to the position and their secondary's been diced up by big 682 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,400 bodies like A.J. Brown. 683 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,000 Alec Pierce put up 86 two on them a couple weeks ago and then 684 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,199 slashers like Devante Smith, Luther Burden, I think it was 2 685 00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:15,800 weeks ago as well. Eight for 1:38 one against these 686 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,080 Niners. Dante Smith, I'm going to keep 687 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,080 him alive with the bronze, but it's it's tough. 5900. 688 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,159 I'd rather probably play Tet or Jawan Jennings, some of these 689 00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:28,360 guys in that range. Dale Skoddard, 4500 I'm going to 690 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,000 give him the the Shibuichi, the half bronze, half silver. 691 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,280 He's been quality recently, 20 catches and four touchdowns in 692 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,159 his last four games. San Francisco's tight end 693 00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:42,080 defense gave up 694 and one to Colston, Loveland 882 and one to 694 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,960 the Titans. Zombie tight end room. 695 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,400 Tyler Warren led his team in targets against the Niners in 696 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,840 Week 16. CFN's bottom third of the league 697 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,000 against catches, yards, touchdowns to position. 698 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,080 Goddard is the third option in the passing game. 699 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,360 So, you know, five points or less is a 25% outcome. 700 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,520 But he's a good player if you don't want to go all the way up 701 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,360 to Kittle. And then we'll finish off with 702 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,560 Saquon. He gets a gold 7300. 703 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,960 I prefer Saquon and Josh Jacobs at Price. 704 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,760 I think ahead of CMC for running backs this week. 705 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,280 It's a great match up for Saquon. 706 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,000 San Francisco's given up over 120 rushing yards a game over 707 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,880 their last four. They've also allowed the second 708 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,160 most catches to bat this year. Saquon Barkley only has two 709 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,880 catches in his last five, but this could be a spot where if 710 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,920 the if the Niners can put up like 20, I think the Eagles can 711 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,920 get to like 31 or 35 points. So good game script plus a 712 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,800 massive workload. That's a little more appealing 713 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,760 at 7300 than CMC at 1500 more. Makes sense to me. 714 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,520 All right, The Sunday nightcap is the Chargers heading across 715 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,120 the country for a date with the Patriots. 716 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,480 That's the third West Coast team going to the East Coast in this 717 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,320 wild card round, by the way. Let's take a look at the 718 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,120 Chargers side. That's where I'm going to start. 719 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,160 Justin Ehrbeer. The Patriots have wins against 720 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,480 two quarterbacks who are starting in the playoffs this 721 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,760 year. That's Josh Allen and Bryce 722 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,280 Young. And they've only played two 723 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,760 teams with winning records, the Bills, who they split with, and 724 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,640 the Steelers, who they lost to. That's not to say that they 725 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,000 haven't been tested by NFL teams all year. 726 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,240 I mean, they're still NFL teams. But I don't think that this is 727 00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:15,120 much of a walk in the park as some Patriots fans and some of 728 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,880 the NFL pundits want it to be. Justin Herbert took the week off 729 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,600 last week. His injured right hand is 730 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,240 reportedly feeling better than it has in a long time. 731 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,120 And Herbert only trailed Josh Allen in total rushing yards for 732 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,360 a quarterback this season and was 7th in the league in 733 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,320 touchdown passes. Dude can put up points. 734 00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:35,600 New England's defense hasn't allowed a 200 yard passer since 735 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,160 week 10. Yeah, week 10. 736 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,760 That's right, they held Justin Fields, Joe Flacco, Jackson 737 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,000 Dart, Josh Allen. Although Allen got to 193 and 738 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,800 threw 3 touchdowns in that game in a win for the Bills by the 739 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,400 way. And they split Lamar Huntley 740 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,280 game, Brady Cook and Quinn Ewers. 741 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,840 Those are the guys they held under 200 yards. 742 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,080 So maybe a little bit of a paper tiger on defense. 743 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,040 The Patriots here almost as easy of a defensive schedule as 744 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,680 Jacksonville's had down the stretch. 745 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,240 But prior to that, they allowed multiple touchdown passes to 746 00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:13,080 Baker, Pennex, Dylan Gabriel, Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers and 747 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,320 Tua. So it leads me to believe that 748 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,440 if you're a half decent quarterback, you're going to do 749 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,440 all right against New England. Herbert is at 6000. 750 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,480 It's the second cheapest starting quarterback on the 751 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,560 slight. I've got a pretty solid silver 752 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,160 grade on Herbert here and I think he goes almost completely 753 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,720 under owned or or or unowned in in most of these games this 754 00:37:33,720 --> 00:37:35,680 weekend and I think that he's going to do just fine. 755 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,320 How do we treat the wide receivers though? 756 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,920 That's the problem. Ladd Mcconkey, Keenan Allen, 757 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,360 Quentin Johnston. Keenan Allen's snapshare was 758 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:48,960 down at 60% or less for the last six weeks of the season. 759 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,160 Mcconkey was out there just about all the time as he had 760 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,720 more a lot more snaps than just about anybody. 761 00:37:54,720 --> 00:37:57,800 Quentin Johnston gave up a lot of opportunities over the 762 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,800 stretch to Trey Harris at the tail end of the season. 763 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,840 Harris was on the field for about half the snaps in the four 764 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,720 games that Johnston plays, and those were games that Johnston 765 00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:09,200 was seeing fewer snaps out there. 766 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,280 So the best matchup is for whoever gets the slot. 767 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,960 That's Mcconkey. Most of the time. 768 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,480 He'll see Marcus Jones, who is not only New England's best 769 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,240 rated cover corner by Pro Football Focus, but he's also 770 00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:24,800 allowed the most touchdowns for Patriots corners at 7:00 this 771 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,640 year. So how does that make sense? 772 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,480 Mcconkey's 6000, which is still a pretty hefty price tag for 773 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,960 wide receivers. I'm only giving him a bronze 774 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,880 grade for the fan ball purposes, though. 775 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,600 Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis have both done well for 776 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,040 themselves this season on the outsides, the pretty tough match 777 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,800 ups in their own right. They they stick outside. 778 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,160 So I'm going to leave Johnston on the bench despite the 5100 779 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,520 price tag. When Keenan Allen out there, he 780 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,520 switches between the slot and the outside and he's only 4000. 781 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,560 I think that's good enough for a bronze grade and they might lean 782 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,440 on the veteran in a playoff match up. 783 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,200 So I like Allen a little bit more. 784 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,720 And if you want to get really, really sneaky, Trey Harris's 785 00:39:04,720 --> 00:39:09,400 minimum price, he's 3000. And for fan ball purposes, he 786 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,320 might be the best option for all the Chargers wide receivers. 787 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,520 Just from a price perspective. I wouldn't go out of my way to 788 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,640 start him. But if you absolutely needed it, 789 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,720 if you were building lineups with a bunch of those $8000 or 790 00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:26,760 $7000 guys, Trey Harris isn't the worst play that you can make 791 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,640 this week. Ronde Gadsden gets a bronze 792 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,000 grade. He's at 3600. 793 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,520 His usage is super weird, though. 794 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,040 He's had more than two catches just twice in his last seven 795 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,120 games. He's only scored once in that 796 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,880 span. And the Pats have not allowed a 797 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,720 tight end to Top 40 yards in their last eight games. 798 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,160 But remember those quarterbacks? They played in those last eight 799 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,520 games and they still allowed the 10th most passing yards to tight 800 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,960 ends on the year. Somehow nobody topped 40 yards 801 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,840 in the last 8 weeks, but they've given up the 10th most passing 802 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,320 yards to tight ends. Huh. 803 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,280 All right. Anyway, the price is low enough 804 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,600 that you can throw them in lineups as a differentiator. 805 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,480 He's a bronze grade. Omarion Hampton's ankle is still 806 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,480 sore. He broke it back in Week 5. 807 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,360 He is back. He didn't practice all week, 808 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,720 didn't take a practice snap on Wednesday. 809 00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:17,960 But it sounds like they're treating him with kid gloves and 810 00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:20,080 he's going to be able to go when it matters. 811 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,800 Despite that, I think he's my favorite play in the game. 812 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,120 I've got a gold grade on Hampton, who comes in at 6500. 813 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,760 In the last six weeks of the season, the Pats defense became 814 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,760 very leaky against bellcow runners. 815 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:37,120 Chase Brown had 130 combo yards. James Cook had won eleven and 816 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,720 three scores. Derrick Henry ran for 1/28 and 817 00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:43,560 two scores. Breece Hall even managed to get 818 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,200 to 129 combo yards in a score. And that's when The Jets had 819 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,800 nobody else. It was like, here we're throwing 820 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,040 Brady Cook out there to battle you. 821 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,480 I. Stop Breece Hall. 822 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,480 That's all you got to do. They couldn't stop Breece Hall. 823 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,960 If you're not really sharing touches, you can do well against 824 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,760 the Pats. And with Hampton recording 14 825 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:09,040 carries and then 8 catches in his final game of the season, it 826 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,000 leads me to believe that it's his backfield. 827 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,200 So I think Omarion Hampton's in a good spot. 828 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,080 Drake May's in a good spot too, but it's probably his toughest 829 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,840 test of the season. He's been so good all year, but 830 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,120 how did he do against teams with a winning record in the two 831 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:29,480 Bills games? 273 yards, no scores, 1212 yards 832 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:34,000 on the ground in the first one, 155 yards and no scores through 833 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,960 the air with 43 ground yards. But he did have two rushing 834 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,800 touchdowns in that game. And then against Pittsburgh, 268 835 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,800 and two with 45 rushing yards. That's all the games against 836 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,840 teams with winning records. It's a little bit of a mixed bag 837 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,840 there. The Chargers have allowed only 838 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:55,080 two passers to top 250 yards this year, Just two. 839 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,840 And only four quarterbacks have hit just two touchdown passes 840 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,760 against them this season. If you don't count Week 18, when 841 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,440 the Chargers rested many of their starters, they haven't 842 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,360 given up more than 15 rushing yards to a quarterback since 843 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,240 Week 5. May is the second most expensive 844 00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:14,680 quarterback this week at 7100. I can only get to a silver grade 845 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,880 on him. I think he can still do it by 846 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,160 himself, but it's not as simple as people might think. 847 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,280 Steph Diggs is the fifth most expensive wide receiver at 6500, 848 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,640 and I do not know how you can pay up for a guy who gets the 849 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,120 third most wide receiver snaps on his own team. 850 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:35,560 He hasn't missed the game this year. 851 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,480 He's only out there for a little more than half the snaps. 852 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,280 The Chargers are top 12 in receptions and yards allowed to 853 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,240 wide receivers, but the 10 touchdowns they've given up to 854 00:42:45,240 --> 00:42:47,040 wide receivers this year, that sticks out. 855 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,400 That's 6th best in the league, and if Diggs doesn't score, 856 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,320 he'll most certainly be held under 10 PPR points. 857 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,760 In the last nine games, only four wide receivers have managed 858 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,520 to get to double digit PPR points without getting a 859 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,560 touchdown against the Chargers. So if you don't get a touchdown, 860 00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:06,320 you're basically getting nothing. 861 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,760 Diggs runs most of his routes from the slot, where he'll match 862 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,280 up with stud safety Derwin James, who does most of the slot 863 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,520 coverage for LA now. So I'm leaving Diggs firmly on 864 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,720 the bench in this one. If you need a Pat's wide 865 00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:21,560 receiver to pair up with Drake May and a fan ball lineup, it 866 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,960 should be Keisha on booty. He's only 3600, he's on the 867 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,480 field more and he gets a much better match up against the 868 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,800 Chargers weakest corner Cam Hart. 869 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:35,160 I have a bronze grade on booty. As for Hunter Henry, he's 4700. 870 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,680 He's hit double digit PPR points in five of his last six games 871 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,320 and volume Tight ends have had some success against the 872 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,000 Chargers, Bowers, Kelsey Goddard, they all put up good 873 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,480 days, but they've basically given up nothing else to tight 874 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,600 ends all year. If you believe that Henry can 875 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,680 get to 5 or 6 receptions, then he's a Browns play and he's done 876 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,880 that three times in the last six weeks, but only four times 877 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,600 overall on the season. It feels like the trend is that 878 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,200 they're going to get Henry the ball more. 879 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,960 So I think that he's good enough for a bronze play. 880 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,200 Did you factor in oh, what factor in the Hunter Henry 881 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,600 revenge game from center? Here's a thought about that. 882 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:12,360 Who's on the? Chargers. 883 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,160 Wow. And now he's a Silver just for 884 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:17,800 that. There we go. 885 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,960 There we go. Finally, the running backs from 886 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,280 Andre Stevenson and Trayvon Henderson. 887 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:29,200 Week 13 was basically the week when both were healthy, and it's 888 00:44:29,240 --> 00:44:32,720 been close to an even split. Just about as close as possible 889 00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:35,720 since week 13. Slight edge to Stevenson on 890 00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:38,920 touches, but red zone opportunities since then are 891 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:42,640 heavily in favor of Henderson. Henderson's had 16 red zone 892 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,840 opportunities, Stevenson only 9 but touchdowns. 893 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,200 Stevenson has 6 and Henderson has four. 894 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:54,120 Price tags. 6300 for for Henderson, 6100 for Stevenson. 895 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,600 Problem is, they're running at the teeth of the Charger 896 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,640 strength run defense. They boast the second best D in 897 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:00,960 the league against running backs. 898 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,840 They've given up about 23 touches per game to opposing 899 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,520 runners, which is the third lowest mark in the league, and 900 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,440 only 109 combo yards to per game to runners. 901 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,120 That's 4th fewest. And if you split that evenly 902 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,080 between the two of them, we're looking at Stevenson probably 903 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,800 getting 12 touches, Henderson probably getting 11. 904 00:45:19,240 --> 00:45:22,600 They're probably getting about 55 yards apiece and less than a 905 00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,760 touchdown per game. That's just not enough. 906 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,680 And I like both of these players a lot, but it's a tough match up 907 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,120 for both of them. I've got bronze grades on both 908 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,400 of those guys. All right, final match up, Maj. 909 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:38,360 It's the Monday nighter. The Texans head to Pittsburgh to 910 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,280 take on the Steelers. All eyes will be on the old man 911 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,920 Aaron Rodgers versus the Texans D, But let's start on the Texan 912 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,080 side where things might be a little bit more interesting. 913 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,280 All right, we can do that. Yeah. 914 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,440 This one's got the the lowest over under the weekend. 915 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,280 More early next week, I guess. 39 1/2. 916 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,400 Houston, a three-point favorite, actually started at 3 1/2 and 917 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,920 the Lions actually moving a little more towards Pittsburgh 918 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,280 so far. Weather shouldn't be a faginal 919 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,960 precipitation, about 32 at game time there in Pittsburgh, but 920 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:13,520 the the Texans with their implied team total of 21 .25 921 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,560 points. Not a lot, but I do think that 922 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,240 there's some fantasy DFS value to be had here. 923 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:24,440 That starts with CJ Stroud. He's the 12th priced quarterback 924 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:29,960 at 5600, lower than Malik Willis and Mac Jones for those scoring 925 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,120 at home. So I didn't. 926 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:35,000 Even notice Stroud was that low I I figured when I saw Mac Jones 927 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:40,160 that I was I was ready to stop. Well, yeah, he's there are two 928 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,320 starting quarterbacks in this game lower than Mac Jones and 929 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:47,560 Malik Willis. So hence the silver grade that I 930 00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:51,160 gave to CJ Stroud. The Texans, they really can't 931 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,520 run the ball. And the Steelers D is a pass 932 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,000 funnel. So, you know, Houston is one of 933 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,000 those rare teams like you hear, you know, defense and run game. 934 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:03,920 They're they're defense and pass game really, yes, because of how 935 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,600 good their defense is. Stroud doesn't have to really 936 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,920 stress right? He doesn't put up huge counting 937 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,440 stats. He does have 8 passing scores 938 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,880 and a rushing touchdown in his last five games, though. 939 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:18,720 And and if at that price tag, I mean, shoot, you can, you can 940 00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:22,760 stack him with, oh, I mean enter Nico Collins stage left right. 941 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,720 I mean he's 7400 bucks. He's the second highest price 942 00:47:25,720 --> 00:47:27,520 wide receiver behind Puka, though. 943 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:31,760 That's a $1400 gap. I I've got a silver on Nico. 944 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,920 He rested last week. He still finished with eight 945 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,680 games at 9 or more targets and five games over 20 PPR points. 946 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:44,000 You know, I really, it becomes how much can the Steelers sort 947 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,200 of press them and force them to go. 948 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,680 But the more the Steelers are in this game, and that's the 949 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,720 expectation as a three-point game right now in Pittsburgh, 950 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,680 you really got to like Collin's chances here. 951 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,600 He actually doesn't have a game below 55 yards receiving since 952 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,680 Week 7. So there's some floor there, 953 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,280 which of course they're better for you can be at 7400. 954 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,080 But there's a really big ceiling too. 955 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,240 Jaden Higgins 50 or excuse me, 4500. 956 00:48:11,240 --> 00:48:13,160 I've got him on the bench. He's, you know, big play 957 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,000 capable. He showed with that 75 Yard 958 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,360 House call in Week 17 scored again last week with Nico 959 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,920 resting, but really to pay off his price tag, he needs another 960 00:48:22,240 --> 00:48:26,000 big play here. Possible yes, but you know you 961 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,240 if you cherry picked his most catches in a game, which is five 962 00:48:29,240 --> 00:48:32,360 this year, his most yards in a game 88 and most touchdowns in a 963 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,680 game one mash all those together. 964 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,840 You still don't have a 20 point fantasy day. 965 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:41,080 So like there's not there's not you're not chasing something 966 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,200 huge here with this price tag. You would just be hoping and 967 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,680 praying so I'm going to keep him on the bench. 968 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,680 Same with Jalen Noel stealing of four targets since week 8 with 969 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:54,240 two or less and all but one of those games the the cheap dart 970 00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:56,480 throw receiver I had Brandon Cooks earlier. 971 00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,440 The one in this game is Christian Kirk 3000. 972 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,280 Bare minimum. He's got 5 targets in 973 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:05,160 back-to-back games before just two in week 18 played 45% or 974 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,520 more snaps and three straight after hitting that mark just 975 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:11,280 once in his previous four decent matchup. 976 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,560 You know, with Jalen Ramsey in the slot, so you know, if if 977 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,120 you're doing like a studs and scrubs build and it need a stack 978 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:21,360 partner with with CJ Stroud, you know, Christian Kirk could could 979 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,160 be that guy. The other one I like I think 980 00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,840 more though and who I have in a silver grade if you're going in 981 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,880 that lower tier as far as price goes is Dalton Schultz. 982 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,160 He's the sixth highest priced at 3900 on the slate. 983 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,040 As far as the tight end position goes, he's got at least 4 984 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,960 targets in every game since week 8 long stretch of games, 3 985 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,200 touchdowns in that time which has helped him to get to double 986 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,040 digit fantasy points 7 times in his last 10 games. 987 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,000 The Pittsburgh defense was a sieve to tight ends early in the 988 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,280 season with six touchdowns allowed the 1st 8 weeks. 989 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,160 They've held the position to just five more the rest of the 990 00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:58,480 way, but they were they were the one of the best defenses to 991 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,080 attack for fantasy production from tight ends this season. 992 00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,720 So again, a real nice cheap stack there. 993 00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:07,480 Schultz and Stroud as far as the running backs go, I've got him 994 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,600 on the bench. Woody marks 5500 not a bad price 995 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,440 tag. He's clearly the RB one, but 996 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,760 just five touchdowns combined all season. 997 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,680 Just two games with triple digit comboy yardage, the last of 998 00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,760 which came in week eight against San Francisco, and he hasn't top 999 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,560 74 yards rushing since. Steelers have been incredibly 1000 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,560 stinge against running backs, having allowed just one overall 1001 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:32,240 touchdown to the position in their last six games, so don't 1002 00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:35,680 need to worry about Woody Marks or Nick Chubb in this one. 1003 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,040 Or Joe R Jordan for that matter, who suffered an ankle injury in 1004 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,360 week 18. Steelers side implied team total 1005 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:47,800 of a whopping 18.25 points. I gave Aaron Rodgers a be a 1006 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,520 begrudging bronze. Is that a Can I make that a 1007 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,200 thing just cause of the price tag? 1008 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:56,920 5200 He's the 14th highest priced quarterback this week and 1009 00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,360 only 12 teams are playing. Aaron Rodgers is even cheaper. 1010 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:06,000 Oh my God, why is Malik Willis so expensive? 1011 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,480 Wizard. Yeah, yeah. 1012 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,840 Well, hey, if the if the Packers decide to play their QB one, 1013 00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:12,680 then he's, he's priced appropriately, right? 1014 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,080 Burn. Who will Malik Willis be 1015 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,160 starting for next year? We'll we'll leave that for a 1016 00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:23,120 tough nut for another day with Aaron Rodgers. 1017 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,920 Actually, his pass attempts have spiked in the last three weeks, 1018 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:30,800 an average of 42.3 per game. His previous high before those 1019 00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,400 three games, by the way, all season was 36. 1020 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,560 So they've they've and and in two of those games he didn't 1021 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,200 have DK Metcalf. So all of a sudden they started 1022 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,000 throwing the ball a little bit here with the old timer. 1023 00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,800 It still didn't result in a 300 yard game. 1024 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,800 He had 294 last week for a season high and only two 1025 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,080 touchdown passes in the three games combined and and only one 1026 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,400 multi touchdown effort in his last ten overall. 1027 00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:57,040 Then you've got that Houston defense, you know, being among 1028 00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,840 the best defenses at limiting quarterback production this 1029 00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,320 season. Worth noting, though, in their 1030 00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:06,120 last six games, they've given up multiple touchdown passes to QB 1031 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,160 superstars such as Riley Leonard, Geno Smith, Jacoby 1032 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:14,160 Brissette and Daniel Jones. So they can be had a little bit. 1033 00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,000 Aaron's been throwing the ball a little bit more and he gets DK 1034 00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,720 Metcalf back. So it's not out of the realm of 1035 00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:23,480 possibility again here, a potential cheap stack Metcalf. 1036 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,240 I have a bronze grade on coming off that two game suspension. 1037 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,560 He's only at 5800 bucks and he's got something to prove coming 1038 00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,760 back here. So you could definitely you've 1039 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:35,360 got narrative St. to stroll down if you'd really like to, to pay 1040 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,240 up elsewhere. Metcalf, though, only has one 1041 00:52:37,240 --> 00:52:39,880 touchdown since Week 9. It's a stretch of eight games. 1042 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,800 He has seven or more targets in five of those. 1043 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,520 And and certainly, you know, capable of a spike performance. 1044 00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,840 Just hard to say it's super likely against that Houston 1045 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,560 defense. Otherwise, I'm leaving Adam 1046 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,360 Thielen and Marquez Valdez scamming on the bench despite 1047 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,040 their low price tag. Same with Calvin Austin at 3000. 1048 00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,680 Again, if I'm playing one of those super, super cheap 1049 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,560 receivers in this game, it's probably Christian Kirk. 1050 00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,880 Pat Fryermuth, though, does get a Bronze grade 3400. 1051 00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:09,320 He's the 10th highest priced tight end. 1052 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,360 He's now got four or more targets in four straight with at 1053 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,760 least three catches and 20 yards in those games. 1054 00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:18,280 Hasn't found Pater Houston's allowed eight tight end 1055 00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,040 touchdowns this year, though, so they're not actually as tough 1056 00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,640 here against wide receivers, which scored ten against the 1057 00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,280 Texans all season long. So you know, ever since Darnell 1058 00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,760 Washington went on IR for arm, it's kind of come on a little 1059 00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,360 bit. So potential if you can't get, 1060 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,320 you know, can't get up to the the Colston Loveland or you 1061 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,240 know, some of those a little higher priced tight ends for arm 1062 00:53:39,240 --> 00:53:42,840 Houston option, though maybe argue he'd be a $200 cheaper 1063 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,320 might be better. Jonny Smith's on the bench 3100 1064 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,760 don't even mess with that Last two guys, the 2 headed monster 1065 00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:53,760 of Kenneth Gainwell and Jalen Warren and they're priced at 1066 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,960 5900 and 5800 respectively. I've got bronze grades on both 1067 00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,400 Houston's got a solid run defense. 1068 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:04,280 They have given up huge days though. 5 backs have 18 or more 1069 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,280 PPR points against them, including two in the last three 1070 00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,320 games. Ashton Gente, thank you very 1071 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,560 much, Houston, for costing me a title, fantasy title there, by 1072 00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,560 the way. And Omari and Hampton was the 1073 00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,960 other one. And with Gainwell, he's got 5 or 1074 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,000 more reception in four of his last five games and six of his 1075 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,960 last eight. He's got 3 touchdowns in his 1076 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,640 last 5-10 or more touches and five straight. 1077 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:30,160 If this defense is as stingy as it should be against the run, 1078 00:54:30,720 --> 00:54:32,840 Gainwell's that outlet. That's those. 1079 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,520 Again, you're getting that, those fantasy points just from 1080 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,120 racking up catches here. So that's why I think he's 1081 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,840 probably a slightly better bet here than Jalen Warren. 1082 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,120 Warren, he's got 12 or more carries in four straight, 1083 00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,560 actually two or more receptions in five of his last 6, but not 1084 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:48,840 used as much in the passing game. 1085 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,760 Overall his game well, and he's got only one game over 15.2 1086 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,120 fantasy points in his last nine. He had that one big game at 1087 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,480 Detroit, 31.1 points before that. 1088 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:04,480 So that wraps up of the Monday night game that in my opinion 1089 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,640 should have been the Bears, Packers, but I don't get to 1090 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:08,600 schedule NFL games so there you go. 1091 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,040 Just a bummer. Just a bummer that they don't 1092 00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,480 listen to your schedule. I know, I know. 1093 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:16,640 All right. Hey, thanks guys for joining us 1094 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:20,320 for fantasy football almost daily on a Thursday and kind of 1095 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,400 a fantasy Friday. Make sure that you go play on 1096 00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,800 fanball this week. And I wanted to remind everybody 1097 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,680 that the NFFC, which is one of our partner sites, they're doing 1098 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:33,520 a big postseason holdem contest. And I did a podcast with Greg 1099 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,400 Ambrosius the other day to preview this awesome contest. 1100 00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,280 And you can just search back one episode if you want to learn 1101 00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,920 more about that one right there. It's a huge payday that you 1102 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:44,440 could win during the fantasy playoffs. 1103 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:49,480 It's $125,000 first prize in the $200 entry contest. 1104 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:53,280 That's the postseason holdem and then a $50,000 top prize in the 1105 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,040 postseason mini. That's only a $50 entry fee. 1106 00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,600 I mean, if I could legally do so, I would definitely be 1107 00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,920 throwing in a couple of entries in the postseason mini because 1108 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,360 that's life changing money in the fantasy play offs right 1109 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,400 there. Register for that at 1110 00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,520 playnffc.com. And you got until about Saturday 1111 00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:12,800 morning, but I think it might fill before then. 1112 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,440 So if you want to get in on it, go grab it a spot now. 1113 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:20,040 Trevor Maj. Any any wagers on the on the 1114 00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,200 game this weekend between your two teams? 1115 00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,360 I can't be hurt any more than I've already been this season. 1116 00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:29,840 I think with the Parsons injury and Jordan Love injury, no, I 1117 00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:31,560 hopefully it's a good game. I'm sure it'll be a close. 1118 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:32,280 One. Yeah, two. 1119 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:36,080 We've had two good games so far. Hopefully it's the third one and 1120 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,320 you know that. Worst of luck to your squad. 1121 00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,360 I hope everybody stays healthy. I just want both teams to have 1122 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:41,360 fun. Trevor, I just. 1123 00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:42,600 Want both teams same? Yeah, of course. 1124 00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,240 Maybe they can tie right with backdoor and five ones. 1125 00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:48,800 They might tie.
