00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,920
Hey everybody, welcome to 
Fantasy Friday here on fantasy 

2
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,080
football. 
Almost daily it's the semi 

3
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:30,160
finals so it's time for my Co 
host to pull out the best advice

4
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,880
they have left. 
Because of this we kicked 

5
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,280
Anthony Maggio to the curb. 
Suspended for one week. 

6
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:39,000
We bring out the big guns. 
Kent Wyrock is back. 

7
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,480
He's ready to help you win. 
Hey, Kent. 

8
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,120
Hey, how we doing? 
That's I'm doing. 

9
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,120
I'm doing great. 
I'm happy to have you this week.

10
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,560
Trevor Jones is here as well, 
and he was a big fan of his 

11
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,880
namesake, Trevor Lawrence last 
week. 

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,480
I wasn't. 
I gave him a bench grade. 

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,000
Oops. 
Yeah, the Trevor Brotherhood 

14
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,840
paid off of his best game of all
time. 

15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,040
So Trevor, you got it right. 
You're back again. 

16
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,880
So there's 15 more games to get 
to this week, so let's not delay

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,200
too much. 
I'll remind everybody that we'll

18
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,400
give you 9 players on whom you 
can roll the dice. 

19
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,440
We'll see if you can. 
You 2 can crack my 2 tough nuts.

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,280
And at the very end of the show 
lightning round. 

21
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,800
Have we helped you this year? 
I hope we have if if you have 

22
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,480
been helped by us, help me help 
you by showing your support with

23
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,320
a follow and a subscription and 
give us a great rating or review

24
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:34,000

iHeartRadio, YouTube, whatever 

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,960
you're watching or listening to 
us on. 

26
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,440
All right, let's get right into 
the match ups and we'll kick off

27
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,120
with Trevor. 
Trevor, this week we've got you 

28
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,960
got the Eagles commanders game. 
That's a Saturday afternoon kick

29
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:49,400
off Trevor and the commander's 
defense has fallen apart 

30
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,520
recently. 
Is this as? 

31
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,320
Simple as Fire up all your 
Eagles. 

32
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,560
It's pretty close. 
Yeah, Jalen Hurts will start. 

33
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,240
We'll give him a goal. 
He bounced back from his ugly 4 

34
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,600
interception game to throw for 
three touchdowns against Vegas 

35
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,400
last week. 
This week, like you said, he 

36
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,200
faces out of Trochis Washington 
defense bottom 5 and pass 

37
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,080
touchdowns and passing yards 
allowed and recently was lit up 

38
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,080
for three touchdowns by JJ 
McCarthy and 300 combo yards and

39
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,040
two touchdowns to Jackson Dart. 
A.J. 

40
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,200
Brown, he gets a gold as well. 
He did have two targets last 

41
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,160
week. 
That was mostly because Jalen 

42
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,000
Hurst only threw 15 times 
because Vegas mustered like 10 

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
yards. 
Before that though, Brown had 

44
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,640
seen double digit targets in 
four straight. 

45
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,160
He'd also recorded 100 yards or 
a touchdown. 

46
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,080
In five straight. 
And the Commanders allowed the 8

47
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,600
most yards to the position. 
Devante Smith is the one guy I'm

48
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,880
not super excited about. 
I'm giving him bronze. 

49
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,160
Brown's recent surge has come at
the expense of Devante, who's 

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,800
cleared 15 PPR points just once 
since Week 7. 

51
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,200
It is a good match up. 
He's a really talented guy so he

52
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,680
still gets a starting grade, but
I am wary in this match up. 

53
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,320
Saquon Barkley, he gets a gold. 
He's coming Outback to back 

54
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,520
games with 20 plus touches and a
touchdown. 

55
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,440
Now gets a prime match up with a
Washington run defense that's 

56
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,560
allowing 145 combo yards per 
game to enemy backs, which is 

57
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,640
the third worst in the league 
since week 4. 

58
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,320
Opposing rushing attacks have 
cleared 140 yards in all but two

59
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,760
games against Washington. 
So Saquons of gold and then 

60
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,480
Dallas guard will round out with
a silver. 

61
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,480
The tight ends boasted at least 
6 catches and 70 yards. 

62
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,000
Now in back-to-back games. 
This commander side end defense 

63
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,560
is giving up the 6th most yards 
and the fifth most tight ends to

64
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,760
the position. 
So it's a great match up since 

65
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,720
the week 12 by Washington's 
allowed these performances 9 for

66
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,320
1/26 to Denver's tight ends, 5 
for 36 and three to Minnesota's 

67
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,640
group and then played better ish
last week. 

68
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,920
The giants tight ends only 
combined for six for one O 7, so

69
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:32,600
it's a good spot for Dallas 
Godder on the other side, it's 

70
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,040
pretty light. 
Mario Todd's on the bench. 

71
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,600
Philly's only permitted 13 
touchdown passes all year, 

72
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,880
second best of the league. 
Also just 279 passing yards 

73
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,520
allowed in their last three 
games combined. 

74
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,320
The running backs, it's JCM 
Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy 

75
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,720
Mcnichols in a three man 
timeshare. 

76
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,360
Again, Rodriguez. 
Rodriguez is expected back from 

77
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,440
injury and then also Debo Samuel
steals a couple carries. 

78
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,880
So we're not interested there. 
Jerry Mclaurin does remain in 

79
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,640
play with the bronze. 
He's got a touchdown. 

80
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,640
He's got a touchdown to two or 
three games back from injury and

81
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,960
he's also scored in top 50 yards
at each of his last two 

82
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,720
performances against Philly and 
will give Debo Browns as well. 

83
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,720
Sorry, excuse me, a bench grade 
Philly struggled with #2 

84
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,240
receivers this year, allowing 
multiple 9 catch, 100 yard 

85
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,079
performances to the position. 
However, in the last three 

86
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:18,560
games, Philly's defense has only
allowed two receivers to clear 

87
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,120
20 receiving yards. 
The Eagles have given up just 

88
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,640
six touchdowns to whiteouts all 
year. 

89
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:26,360
Debo's only got 12 catches 
himself in the last three games 

90
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,040
since Lauren's return. 
So he's on the bench and the 

91
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,120
tight end. 
I don't know, Jake Bates and 

92
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,120
Synod or somebody. 
Philly allows the fewest tight 

93
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,040
end yards in the league. 
We're not playing those guys. 

94
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,440
No, that would be silly. 
All right, moving on to the next

95
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,640
match up, Kent, Kansas City 
heads to Tennessee without 

96
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,600
Patrick Mahomes, maybe without 
Rashi Rice, but the match up is 

97
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,280
extra juicy. 
Kent, what are you doing with 

98
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:49,320
these Chiefs? 
Yeah, it's scary. 

99
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,960
I think I still want to give the
bench grade to Gardner Minshew. 

100
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:54,880
Zero top 12 finishes last year. 
Now, granted, that was with the 

101
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,360
Raiders, so an unfortunate 
situation for him. 

102
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,520
But even the year before the 
Colts, just three top 12 

103
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,000
finishes in 16 games played. 
I'm not really interested in 

104
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,440
that and my semifinals. 
I'll find some other better 

105
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,680
streaming option than him if 
we're looking at you know, Rashi

106
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,200
Rice, he's a maybe right now, 
but if he does play, I'll give 

107
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,320
him a silver. 
He's got a 32% target share in 

108
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,640
the last month, he's been 
targeted 9 times in the red zone

109
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,360
during that stretch. 
Thank you despite just one red 

110
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,200
zone touchdown. 
So he's still got some upside 

111
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,200
opportunity there in the pay 
dirt. 

112
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,360
He's at a very low average of 
the target though, at just 4 

113
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,120
yards per target. 
So it's been kind of an 

114
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,600
interesting usage for him, but 
he's getting peppered a lot and 

115
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,480
I think that should continue 
even with Minshew. 

116
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,120
He maybe gold if Mahomes was 
playing, but obviously I'm not 

117
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,160
going to push him up to that 
right now. 

118
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,600
So on the other hand, Travis 
Kelsey, I will give a silver 

119
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,080
grade 2. 
After Mahomes went out of the 

120
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,240
last game, 3 of Minshew's 4 
targets went to Kelsey. 

121
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,760
Now he didn't catch all of them,
one was an interception, but 

122
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,720
still he was 3 targets out of 
the four. 

123
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,960
So that's pretty nice to see. 
He's also getting close to some 

124
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,960
milestones. 
He's 9099 yards away from second

125
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,880
all time and receiving yards for
a tight end. 7 touchdowns away 

126
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,200
from tying the 4th all time and 
touchdowns. 

127
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,840
Oh, you think he'll get it? 
This. 

128
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:11,080
Week. 
No, no, probably not. 

129
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,640
But I do think they'll be 
forcing him the ball to try and 

130
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,160
get these yardage markers. 
And certainly if he gets a 

131
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,240
couple of touchdowns, that 
wouldn't be too bad either. 

132
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,160
Not just to strengthen his Hall 
of Fame resume. 

133
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,360
And he's also 203 yards away 
from his eighth 1000 yard 

134
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,520
season. 
I think that one's pretty 

135
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,800
achievable in in in two games. 
So there's some interesting 

136
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,360
milestones there for him. 
So I'll give him a silver. 

137
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,920
I think they're going to pepper 
him with targets. 

138
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,880
Cream Hunt. 
I'm leaving on the bench this 

139
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,280
week. 
It seems like since Isaiah 

140
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:38,520
Pacheco's come back, his 
workloads drop each week and 

141
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,640
they're just kind of going with 
a platoon style thing. 

142
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,560
He had just six carries last 
week against the Chargers and 

143
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,200
has far lower of a touchdown 
upside with Mahomes or without 

144
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,360
Mahomes in the lineup. 
So I'm not, I'm not going to 

145
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,920
play him over on the Tennessee 
side of the ball. 

146
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,520
Well, the only starting grade I 
have is Tony Pollard. 

147
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,400
He he will get a silver. 
In his last three games, he's 

148
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,440
averaging 108 yards, 6.6 yards 
per carry, which is 2.2 rushing 

149
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,440
yards over expectation per 
attempt and a touchdown to his 

150
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,280
name. 
So he's been looking really good

151
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:08,480
despite playing some stronger 
defenses there too. 

152
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,120
He seems to be the engine of 
this offense right now. 

153
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,480
Cam Ward's on the bench. 
You got better options. 

154
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,880
All the wide receivers, I don't 
know how you could possibly 

155
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,480
decide which one to play on any 
given week. 

156
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,760
So they're all a bench and KC is
a tougher match up too. 

157
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,680
And then the tight ends. 
We we got a tight end timeshare 

158
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,880
now with Chico Coco and Gunner 
Helm. 

159
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,560
Gunner Helm I think is an 
interesting long term dynasty 

160
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,040
type guy. 
But right now it's a timeshare. 

161
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,560
I don't want to invest in like a
bungalow on Mount Everest. 

162
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,880
I I don't want that timeshare. 
Yeah. 

163
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,880
So that's it for the Tennessee 
side. 

164
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,880
Things real easy on that team. 
Yeah, there's a there's a couple

165
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,880
of matchups this week where it's
basically like blanket bench 

166
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,560
just about everybody. 
And here's one of them right 

167
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,560
here. 
It's the the Bills and Browns. 

168
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,840
I'm sure the Bills took a boat 
across Lake Erie to get to 

169
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,520
Cleveland this week, and I'm 
sure people are wondering what 

170
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,200
to do with Josh Allen against 
one of the league's best 

171
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,160
defenses. 
And the answer is you start him.

172
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,920
But it's just a silver grade for
Josh Allen. 

173
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,200
Cleveland top five in almost all
defensive categories against 

174
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,960
quarterbacks, although they have
allowed both Cam Ward and Caleb 

175
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,800
Williams to go for multiple 
passing touchdowns in just the 

176
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,120
last two weeks. 
And top corner Denzel Ward looks

177
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,520
like he might not go this week 
with a calf injury. 

178
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,400
So you can still fire up Josh 
Allen very safely. 

179
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,480
Is it Dalton Kincaid or Dawson 
Knox that he's passing the ball 

180
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,480
to? 
The easiest positional matchup 

181
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,880
is against the tight end when 
you go against the Browns. 

182
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,360
Now. 
Knox scored twice last week and 

183
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,559
had a bunch of yardage that the 
week before, and Kincaid scored 

184
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,480
the week before. 
Last week both had four targets 

185
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,520
and three receptions in New 
England. 

186
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,360
To be honest, one of them will 
probably score and one of them 

187
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,600
will probably have a decent 
yardage day of like over 60 

188
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,600
yards. 
But it's a super weird split 

189
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,080
right now, and Jackson Hawes is 
involved too, so I'd rather 

190
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,520
leave all three on the bench in 
this. 

191
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,400
In this scenario, Khalil Shakur 
is the only wide receiver you'd 

192
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,560
consider playing. 
I'll throw a bronze grade on 

193
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:08,640
him. 
He mostly runs from the slot and

194
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,800
he gets the best match up 
against Miles Harden, who's a 

195
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,400
completely real person and Pro 
Football focuses. 110th ranked 

196
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,680
corner out of 112. 
Harden has allowed five 

197
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:22,320
touchdowns in his coverage this 
year and has a passer rating of 

198
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,400
120 against him. 
Khalil Shakur's in kind of a 

199
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,600
good spot here and James Cook 
I'll give a gold grade to. 

200
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,160
Cleveland's run defense has 
taken some lumps the past few 

201
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,800
weeks. 
Four different runners have 

202
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,480
topped 20 PPR points against the
Browns in the last five games, 

203
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,640
including DeAndre Swift going 
for 98 and 2 scores on the 

204
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,840
ground last week and the 
aforementioned Tony Pollard 

205
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,360
going for 161 and 2 the week 
before. 

206
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,400
Cook always gets a crazy 
workload and he scored twice 

207
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,600
last week, so I'm not afraid of 
starting him this week. 

208
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,880
On the Brown side, there's only 
two Browns that you'd even 

209
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,480
consider starting this week. 1st
is Quinton Judkins, who 

210
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,000
basically got all the work last 
week against the Bears. 

211
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,280
But that game got out of hand so
quickly that the Browns 

212
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,520
abandoned the run. 
And there's a little bit of 

213
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,120
danger in that happening in this
one too against the Bills. 

214
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,080
But the Bills, they're not very 
good against the run, and 

215
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,640
they're coming off an emotional 
win in New England last week. 

216
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,720
And when they come off emotional
wins, they have let downs the 

217
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,480
next week. 
They beat KC and Arrowhead in 

218
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,560
Week 9. 
Then they lost to the Dolphins, 

219
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:27,080
and Devon A Chan had 40 points 
in that game. 

220
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,880
They beat Tampa in a shootout in
Week 11. 

221
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,920
Then they lost to the Texans on 
Thursday night. 

222
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,880
And Woody Marks didn't have a 
huge game, but he had 74 yards 

223
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,560
on the ground in that one. 
Overall, the Bills have allowed 

224
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:42,560
five different runners to top 30
PPR points this season, 

225
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,920
including Treyvion Henderson 
last week. 

226
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,320
So I got a silver grade on 
Judkins. 

227
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,920
And then there's Harold Fan, and
he's the only other guy you 

228
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,640
could consider in this game. 14 
targets last week caught seven 

229
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,520
of them but for only 48 yards. 
And David and Joku looks like 

230
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,480
he's going to miss this week. 
But the Bills are the best tight

231
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,240
end defense in the league and 
it's not really that close. 

232
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,920
They allow an average of only 
2.7 catches and 33 yards per 

233
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,080
game to the tight end position 
as a whole. 

234
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,280
They've only given up two scores
all year. 

235
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,880
It's a bench grade for Fannin. 
I think he'll be better than 3 

236
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,520
catches for 33 yards, but not 
much better. 

237
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,320
Maybe 4 catches for 40 ish 
yards. 

238
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,360
That's bench grade for me. 
All right, now we got to take a 

239
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,480
quick break and we're going to 
man Maj. is going to tell us a 

240
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,880
little bit about fanball. 
Fanball is DFS for those of us 

241
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,880
who can't devote full time job 
hours to scouring news feeds, 

242
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,400
memorizing depth charts, or 
tracking our status on the Roto 

243
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,480
Grinders Top 50. 
We get it, you've got a life, 

244
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,680
but also enjoy a good sweat. 
When you're not coaching Little

As a Minnesota sports fan, I 

257
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,480
really hate the amount of Bears 
and Cubs stuff that Maj. has on 

258
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,320
and in his background in these 
ads. 

259
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,200
It's it's it's really bugging me
here. 

260
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,120
Well, anyway, welcome back to 
fantasy football. 

261
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,640
Almost daily. 
You can find me Matt Harrison on

262
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,480
Twitter or blue sky at explosive
output. 

263
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,640
Trevor is at on Twitter at T 
Jones 5 and Kent Wyrock is at 

264
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,560
Kent Wyrock. 
And you got to spell out the 

265
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:06,280
Wyrock. 
It's Wey Rauch. 

266
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,120
Holy smokes. 
Yeah, Holy Smokes is right. 

267
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,040
All right, now it's time for a 
segment we like to call Roll the

268
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,200
Dice. 
It's now time to roll the dice. 

269
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,880
These are 9 players that might 
not normally be in your line up,

270
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,240
but you may want to roll the 
dice on them this week. 

271
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,600
Let's start with the quarterback
position and Trevor Jones. 

272
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,800
Yeah, quarterback. 
This week we'll go with Aaron 

273
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,480
Rodgers. 
Steelers are a touchdown Rd. dog

274
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,040
in what projects to be the 
highest scoring game of the 

275
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,160
week. 
Vegas has it at 52 over under 

276
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,160
right now, helping Rodgers 
outlook. 

277
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,640
The Lions have allowed the fifth
most passing touchdowns, eighth 

278
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,000
most passing yards. 
It's a great line up for the 

279
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,160
pass catchers, too. 
Only one team's allowed more 

280
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,280
receiver touchdowns in the Lions
20, and no defense has given up 

281
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,280
more yards to the receiver 
position. 

282
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,400
And obviously, this is a a 
familiar matchup for Aaron. 

283
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,640
He's got 26 Detroit matchups in 
his career. 

284
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,240
His average stat line is roughly
250 yards and two touchdowns, 

285
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,480
which you would certainly take 
in this week. 

286
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,880
I'm sure the Lions fans are just
scared to see Aaron Rodgers come

287
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,600
back to their building one more 
time. 

288
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,240
So many bad memories for them. 
All right. 

289
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,360
Yeah. 
Kent, who do you got at the 

290
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,040
quarterback position? 
I'm going with Caleb Williams 

291
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,120
and this might seem weird with 
the injuries to their wide 

292
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,840
receiver core, but they still 
have a respectable receiving 

293
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,160
core left behind as well. 
Between DJ Moore, Olamide 

294
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,280
Zacchias, Colson Loveland, and 
Cole Commet in A2 tight end set 

295
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,000
up, the Packers will be without 
Micah Parsons on IR. 

296
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,480
This is a stat coming from Seth 
Walder of ESPN. 

297
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,760
Their pass rush win rate with 
Micah Parsons is third in the 

298
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,760
NFL and without is 32nd. 
Their EPA per drop back allowed 

299
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,720
with Parsons is average middle 
of the pack and without Parsons,

300
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,720
26th. 
So I think this is an 

301
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,360
exploitable match up for Caleb 
Williams. 

302
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,560
He's quietly QB 9 on the year in
points per game and he's had two

303
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,560
plus touchdowns and three of his
last four games. 

304
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,640
They're on a good roll. 
Ben Johnson's in his bag. 

305
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,680
I mean, I just want to see him 
continue to impress and I think 

306
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,600
the Bears have a real 
opportunity to take the division

307
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,920
here. 
Ben Johnson's in his bag. 

308
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,400
Yeah, it's deep, deep in. 
The bag you're doing doing well 

309
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,560
is this. 
Is this a phrase you're 

310
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,480
unfamiliar with? 
I'm not familiar with. 

311
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,640
Yeah, that's a real 1. 
You you kids in your hip lingo. 

312
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,400
I don't. 
Know if I'm qualified as a kid 

313
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,200
anymore but I'll take it. 
That's true. 

314
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,840
Bryce Young versus Tampa Bay is 
my roll the dice quarterback. 

315
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,000
Bryce has alternated 3 touchdown
games with one touchdown games 

316
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,680
for the past month. 
And guess what? 

317
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,360
He had one touchdown last week. 
So it's 3 touchdown time against

318
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,640
Tampa and there's no better 
landing spot than Tampa. 

319
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,200
Their past defense has fallen 
off a Cliff over the last month.

320
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,440
In their last six games, 5 
quarterbacks have topped 270 

321
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,760
yards. 5 quarterbacks have 
thrown for multiple touchdowns. 

322
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,760
Of those, 53 have thrown for 
three touchdown passes. 

323
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,440
Tyler Shuck was the only one who
didn't throw for multiple scores

324
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,640
in that six game stretch. 
He had two rushing touchdowns. 

325
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,160
So the average quarterback score
in standard fantasy points 

326
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:12,880
against the Bucks over the last 
six games. 29.75 Bryce Young is 

327
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,240
a solid start. 
Like silver grade at minimum for

328
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,880
Bryce Young in this game. 
Let's go to the running back 

329
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,000
position. 
Trevor, who you got? 

330
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,680
Yeah, we'll go with Arizona's 
Michael Carter. 

331
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,480
Arizona's down James Conner, 
Trey Benson, and then they just 

332
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,080
lost Bam Knight last week. 
Additionally, Amari Di Mercado, 

333
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,240
sort of sometimes the passing 
game back came into last week's 

334
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,960
game with an injury, only saw 
three touches. 

335
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,520
Carter saw the lion's share of 
the running back workload. 

336
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,760
With those guys out. 
He turned 18 touches into nearly

337
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,200
100 combo yards. 
Even when the other backs were 

338
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,840
healthy, Carter did have a good 
pass catching pass game role. 

339
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,040
He had 19 catches over his past 
five games. 

340
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,640
Falcons are not an opposing 
matchup for enemy running backs,

341
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,040
either on the ground or through 
the air. 

342
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,400
So yeah, Michael Carter could be
looking at it. 

343
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,440
Nearly 20 touches at a decent 
matchup here. 

344
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,800
All right, Cantuti got the 
running back position. 

345
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,680
I am going with Audrick 
Estimate, who now plays for the 

346
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,880
Saints. 
He played last year with Denver,

347
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,400
got released with the Denver 
Broncos. 

348
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,880
He had 76 attempts for 310 yards
and two touchdowns in a fill in 

349
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,560
role. 4.1 yards per carry. 
Did his job. 

350
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,599
Was OK in the 2024 right back 
draft class. 

351
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:18,880
He was first in Next Gen. 
Stats production score and his 

352
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,280
last year in Notre Dame he had 
210 attempts for 210 attempts 

353
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,839
for 1341 rushing yards and 18 
touchdowns. 

354
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:28,840
He's coming in to play for the 
Saints this week now that 

355
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,960
they're down. 
Devin Neil, Alvin Kamara, and 

356
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,840
he's looking to take on a New 
York Jets defense that is fourth

357
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,880
in yards per game allowed, tied 
for fifth and rush touchdowns 

358
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,760
allowed, Allowed the 6th most 
yards after contact per attempt 

359
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,000
and have allowed at least one 
rush TD in four of their last 

360
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,440
five games. 
So it's a good spot for them. 

361
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,840
Yeah, that's that is a nice spot
against The Jets. 

362
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,560
It's always a nice spot against 
The Jets. 

363
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:54,720
Right now, my running back is 
Jawar Jordan versus the Vegas 

364
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,160
Raiders. 
Woody marks iffy to play this 

365
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,280
week with an ankle injury and 
they elevated Jordan from the 

366
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,440
from the practice squad to the 
active roster. 

367
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:07,240
Last week, he got his first 
taste of the NFL. 

368
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,920
He had 15 carries, 101 yards on 
the ground, added two catches 

369
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,280
for 17 yards. 
He has to have more gas in the 

370
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,600
tank than Nick Chubb, by the 
way, who missed last week, but 

371
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,720
looks like he's going to suit up
at least this week. 

372
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,600
The Raiders have allowed the 4th
most rushing scorers this season

373
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,480
at 15 on the year, and opposing 
backs as a group are averaging 

374
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,480
almost 30 touches per game. 
And so if there's two backs in 

375
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,480
play here, it seems like 15 
touches is imminent for Jawar 

376
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,640
Jordan because they're not going
to give Nick Chubb 20. 

377
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,200
If Woody Marks is active, I 
don't think you can play him. 

378
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,840
And Woody Marks did practice on 
Friday, so that puts a little 

379
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,800
pause in there. 
But if Woody Marks and his ankle

380
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,640
is no good and the Texans 
probably don't need him to beat 

381
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,320
the Raiders, I would say that 
Jawar Jordan's in a good spot. 

382
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,120
All right, let's go to the 
receiver position. 

383
00:18:58,120 --> 00:19:00,720
I think you guys both have tight
ends, don't you, Trevor? 

384
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,880
You start us off. 
Yeah, I took the the easy one, 

385
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,240
tight end versus the Bengals 
that this week. 

386
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,720
That's Darren Waller for the 
Dolphins we've talked about 

387
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,720
since he has the worst tight end
defense of all time. 

388
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,840
Waller's played in just seven 
games this year himself, but he 

389
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,960
has 6 touchdowns in those seven.
Last week, Waller was in a 

390
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,640
nearly identical spot against 
the second worst tight end 

391
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,000
defense, the Steelers, and he 
buried them for seven catches, 

392
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,560
66 starts with two touchdowns 
all season highs. 

393
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,360
This offense runs through three 
players. 

394
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,680
Like, it's really hard for me to
picture anyone other than a Chan

395
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,080
Waller or Jalen Waddle scoring. 
So yeah, Waller tight end 

396
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,040
against the against the Bengals,
man, easy game. 

397
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,280
That makes a lot of sense. 
Insert pick on tight end against

398
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,400
the Bengals here. 
So. 

399
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,880
I tried that last week in Scott 
Fishbowl by playing both Ravens 

400
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,880
tight ends, and that did not 
work out for me. 

401
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,640
Yeah, but that was it was the 
right idea. 

402
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,680
Likely was my my my take a 
chance or Nope, Nope, not that. 

403
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,040
Roll the dice. 
Roll the tight end to last week.

404
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,600
Did not work. 
Kent, who do you got to roll the

405
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,040
dice on this week? 
I am rolling the dice on Colston

406
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,960
Loveland. 
We talked about that Bears 

407
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,640
situation. 
There should be some 

408
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,120
consolidated targets with a 
Doones and Burden out. 

409
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,760
He already had four games in a 
row with five plus targets. 

410
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,920
So he's on a good pace, kind of 
working his way into the 

411
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,640
offense. 
Even though Komet is back in 

412
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,400
action and he's been perfect in 
the red zone last month, 

413
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,240
catching all three of his 
targets, 2 of which he turned 

414
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,720
into touchdowns. 
So going against his weaken Pack

415
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,880
and D Packers defense, like I 
talked about earlier, I think 

416
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,200
there's a good opportunity for 
him to be a top 12 tight end. 

417
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,200
All right, my, my roll the dice 
receiver is a wide receiver and 

418
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,880
I've got a bonus backup because 
he's a little dinged up right 

419
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,040
now. 
So I have Ricky Pearsall with 

420
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,160
Kendrick Bourne as the backup 
here. 

421
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,640
So Pearsall has a knee injury 
and an ankle injury. 

422
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,120
He really hasn't been healthy 
since September. 

423
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,440
He did not practice Thursday. 
Shanahan says he might still go,

424
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,240
but this is a Monday night game 
so you have to have another plan

425
00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,120
just in case. 
Shanahan notably unreliable on 

426
00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:03,000
injury stuff. 
So that's why you really need to

427
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,640
have Kendrick born if you're 
thinking about doing Ricky 

428
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,720
Pearsall here. 
But Pearsall had 7 targets, 6 

429
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,720
catches, 96 yards last week, all
led the team, and I really like 

430
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,680
his match up against the Colts 
this week. 

431
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:21,160
What the heck is going on? 
Oh man, my computer's making 

432
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,640
noises at me. 
As I was saying, I like his 

433
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,040
match up against the Colts this 
week. 

434
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,520
Last week, the Seahawks 
receivers combined for 17 

435
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,680
catches and 233 yards against 
this Colts secondary. 

436
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,840
That will for sure be missing 
Charvarius Ward, who's now on 

437
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,680
IR, and probably missing Sauce 
Gardner. 

438
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,080
Oh, by the way, the Colts have 
already allowed the most 

439
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,200
receptions and second most 
receiving yards to opposing wide

440
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,160
receivers. 
So if you have Piersol and he's 

441
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,720
active, you're starting him. 
If Kendrick Bourne is available,

442
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,720
you pick him up as your backup 
OC option and if Pierce all is 

443
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,080
out, you just slide Kendrick 
Bourne right into that spot. 

444
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,560
And those were the 9 players on 
whom you could roll the dice. 

445
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,600
This week we're going to move 
right back into the matchups, 

446
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,960
Bengals, Dolphins and Trevor. 
Joe Burrow needs a get right 

447
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,240
game and he needs one bad and he
heads to Miami this Sunday. 

448
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,760
I think the only worry for the 
Bengals is it's going to be 80° 

449
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,320
and sunny and maybe Burrow falls
in love with the Miami weather 

450
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,240
and asked to be traded there 
this offseason. 

451
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,800
Mid game, maybe he gets traded 
to the Dolphins, Yeah. 

452
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,960
They need a quarterback, 
clearly. 

453
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,240
And Joe's he's he's kind of 
going through it with his 

454
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,240
reflective press conferences. 
Yeah, this was a, this is a big 

455
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,960
match up. 
A lot of fantasy implications 

456
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,800
here. 
Joe Burrow does get a silver. 

457
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,360
Since returning from injury, 
he's averaging over 40 pass 

458
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:42,920
attempts per game, which is a 
massive number. 

459
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,640
Further boosting his outlook is 
the expected return of T Higgins

460
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,440
from concussion, who got in 
limited practices on Wednesday 

461
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,360
and Thursday. 
I believe Borough would have had

462
00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:51,400
better numbers. 
Last week. 

463
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,080
Cincinnati reached Baltimore 
territory on five different 

464
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,760
drives that all ended in zero 
points. 

465
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,840
Somehow Miami's had bottom third
defense against quarterbacks and

466
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,560
they just lost their best 
secondary player in Mika 

467
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,040
Fitzpatrick. 
Chase Brown also gets a silver. 

468
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,000
Dolphins are a good match up for
backs as they permit the eighth 

469
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,800
most touches and 4th most combo 
yards to enemy backs. 

470
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,520
The return of Semaj P Ryan from 
injury is eating a Chase Brown's

471
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,040
workload a little bit, though. 
Brown has made-up for it by 

472
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,960
being an excellent receiving 
back with 17 catches in the 

473
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,360
three games since P Ryan 
returned. 

474
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:21,880
And even though P Ryan is 
getting extra work, chases a 

475
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,560
solid 19 touches per game over 
the last three that P Ryan has 

476
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,920
played. 
Tamar Chase is a goal. 

477
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,680
Miami's actually a tough 
matchup, allowing just one 

478
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,880
receiver to clear 60 yards in 
the last three games. 

479
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,720
But it's fantasy semifinals 
week. 

480
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,520
You're starting Tamar Chase. 
Let's be serious. 

481
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,360
T Higgins is just a bronze. 
Sounds like he's going to clear 

482
00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:41,080
the protocol. 
He's a quality start. 

483
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,520
He's got 9 touchdowns in his 
twelve games played this season.

484
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,760
However, he's topped just six 
catches only once and only has 

485
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,480
one game over 100 receiving 
yards as well. 

486
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,480
So the floor is solid, but the 
ceiling game is much more likely

487
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,280
to go to Jamar Chase. 
It is a Mike Jasiki revenge 

488
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,240
game, but he's on the bench. 
In the 20 games Jasiki's played 

489
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,120
with T Higgins, he's got one 
touchdown. 

490
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:01,720
So unless team misses, you're 
keeping Jasiki on the bench. 

491
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,440
The Dolphins, their new starting
quarterback is Queen Ewers. 

492
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,280
Ewers is a sub 200 LB seventh 
round rookie who's been behind 

493
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:10,960
two and Zach Wilson for most of 
the season. 

494
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,160
Going to pass there. 
A chance of platinum. 

495
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,920
We know how bad since these DE 
is against tight ends, only 

496
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,480
slightly better against running 
backs. 

497
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,880
They've allowed the most combo 
yards per game to position and 

498
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,840
the fourth most touchdowns a 
chance. 

499
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,960
Got a 20% target share. 
Excellent play. 

500
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,960
And then Jalen Waddle, he's got 
a bronze, not a huge drop off to

501
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,520
yours, but the game total did 
drop a few points once that news

502
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,760
broke. 
It's only it's been a month 

503
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,960
since Waddle cleared 55 yards 
and the match up is tough. 

504
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,920
Everyone just attacks 2 backs 
and tight ends, but he is viable

505
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,480
strictly to his role in the 
offense in the high game total. 

506
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,880
And then Darren Waller was my 
roll the dice pass catcher as we

507
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,080
talked about. 
There we go, nice and easy, 

508
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,800
Kent. 
Let's talk about the Packers and

509
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:52,680
Bears. 
They're going to play on 

510
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,720
Saturday night, basically for 
the NFC North crown. 

511
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,240
I couldn't give this match up to
Trevor #1 because he's no longer

512
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,600
on screen and #2 because he 
can't take his cheese colored 

513
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,440
glasses off. 
But how do you think Jordan Love

514
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,680
and company will do in Soldier 
Field on Saturday? 

515
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:10,960
Yeah, I think it's going to be 
slightly worse than last time 

516
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,360
that they played just because of
the difference in home field 

517
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:15,320
advantage and stuff like that. 
Jordan Love. 

518
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,520
And last month he's averaging 18
completions on 29 attempts, 220 

519
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,560
yards per game. 
He's had three interceptions in 

520
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,200
the last two weeks. 
So he's been a little bit 

521
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,000
sketchy here and there. 
And then includes his game 

522
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,160
against the Bears where he did 
throw for three touchdowns. 

523
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,680
So that was a little bit nicer 
in Green Bay. 

524
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,800
Going on the road at the Chicago
past events has been solid 

525
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,000
lately. 
Since week 10. 

526
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,560
They're fifth in EPA per drop 
back allowed and and they've had

527
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,240
one interception in five of the 
last six games. 

528
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,600
So they've been playing really 
well on the past defense side of

529
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,320
things. 
So I haven't met just a bronze 

530
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,720
grade. 
I was between bronze and silver,

531
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,600
but I'm going to go down just 
with the home field advantage 

532
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,000
switch now it sounds like Josh 
Jacobs is doubtful more than 

533
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,840
questionable. 
So I'm going to give Emmanuel 

534
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:03,520
Wilson the gold grade because, 
yeah, this is obviously on the 

535
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,920
fly here a little bit, but the 
Bears defense has been 

536
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,280
struggling a little bit more on 
the run defense side of things. 

537
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,880
6th month EPA per rush allowed 
since Week 10 and the fourth 

538
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,360
most rush yards per play on the 
year. 

539
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,720
If this is an opportunity for 
Caleb Williams to get going, 

540
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,000
like I think he will, they're 
gonna, you know, they're gonna 

541
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,680
need some different, excuse me, 
I'm talking on the wrong side of

542
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,480
the ball there. 
If just if Jordan Love has some 

543
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,440
struggle to get going, they're 
gonna need Emmanuel Wilson to 

544
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,400
run between the tackles hard and
I think he can fill that role 

545
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:32,960
for him. 
So gold great for him. 

546
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,840
And looking at the receivers for
the Packers, it's a little bit 

547
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,320
tricky. 
You know, Jayden Reed, he's just

548
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,160
kind of coming back into his 
full form. 

549
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:42,400
Offensive snaps have been 
ramping up for the last couple 

550
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,640
weeks, 47% in week 1465. 
Last week should be up to 

551
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,800
basically a full load this week.
He's led the team with 10 

552
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,280
targets in the last two weeks, 
of which he's caught 9486 

553
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,040
scoreless yards, unfortunately. 
So there has really been a ton 

554
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,120
of fantasy goodness in terms of 
wide receivers on this team. 

555
00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:00,480
I will give Reed a bronze grade 
just because because he's 

556
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,320
leading the group. 
Christian Watson, I'm going to 

557
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,360
leave him on the bench. 
He's questionable with a chest 

558
00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:07,520
injury. 
His targets have fallen a little

559
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,240
bit since Reed has returned. 
He's a big a big play guy and 

560
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,320
since this is a Saturday game, I
don't think you want to lean on 

561
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:18,920
a low volume, big play type 
player in your semifinal. 

562
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,640
So I'm leaving him on the bench 
and then same deal with Luke 

563
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:22,920
Musgrave. 
You're just going to have better

564
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,040
options out there. 
I'm pretty sure for the tight 

565
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,120
end position over on the bare 
side of the ball. 

566
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:31,120
You know, like I said, Caleb 
Williams, silver grade, he's my 

567
00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:34,800
roll the dice player. 
DeAndre Swift, I will give him a

568
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,680
silver. 
He seems to be holding on to the

569
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,720
running back. 
One roll in the offense now 

570
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,600
after it looked like Kyle when a
guy was eating to do his work a 

571
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,560
little bit. 
Swift has had 17 plus 

572
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,400
opportunities in each of the 
last three games and while 

573
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,120
Monongai was kind of becoming 
the goal line back, that shifted

574
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,600
back a little bit more to a 
timeshare. 

575
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,440
Swift has actually had more 
inside the 10 and inside the 

576
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,960
five rush attempts in their last
three games and has had two 

577
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,040
touchdowns to Monongai's one in 
that time. 

578
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,480
So he's been playing a little 
bit better. 

579
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,640
He's running a 5.8 yards per 
carry during that stretch as 

580
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,840
well. 
Ben Johnson, He's in his bag, 

581
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,040
Matt. 
I mean, come on. 

582
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,640
OK. 
So with that. 

583
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,200
Dirty can't. 
It sounds dirty. 

584
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,400
Well, it could be a little dirty
if you want it to be, but Kyle 

585
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,720
Manon, guy I was, I was split. 
I, I'm going with bench grade 

586
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,200
here. 
He ran just 11 times for 33 

587
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,520
yards last week. 
In his last three weeks, he's 

588
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,640
caught one of his five targets 
as well for 0 yards. 

589
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,440
So it's, it's just been a little
bit of a struggle for him lately

590
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,560
to get going. 
You know, a little bit of that 

591
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,360
rookie wall, maybe tough to 
trust in your semifinals. 

592
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:36,680
I I think that they're really 
going to use Swift more so than 

593
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,960
Monongai in this game. 
DJ Moore will get a silver grade

594
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,880
again with that consolidation of
targets with the other guys out.

595
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,960
He caught four of his five 
targets last week for 69 yards 

596
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,960
and two touchdowns against the 
Cleveland defense. 

597
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,520
I do think that it's just a 
volume up, efficiency down type 

598
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,760
of thing for DJ Moore. 
So I couldn't quite get him up 

599
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,480
to a gold grade, but I I think 
he's going to have a good game. 

600
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,120
And then Colston Loveland, 
silver grade, he was my roll the

601
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,880
dice tight end, so we're good to
go there. 

602
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,520
There we go. 
All right, the Vikings conclude 

603
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,400
their tour of the NFC, least 
this Sunday in New Jersey 

604
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,600
against the Giants. 
And I think you can fire up JJ 

605
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,080
McCarthy again, 2:50 and 2:00 
through the air last week in 

606
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,160
Dallas added a gritty run into 
the end zone as well. 

607
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:24,160
He was QB six last week. 
He was QB 12 the week before. 

608
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,400
Those are two QB 1 finishes in 
the last two weeks. 

609
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,800
He's feasting on bad defenses, 
just like the Giants, who are 

610
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,320
bottom 11 in every category 
against the quarterback, have 

611
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,080
allowed the most rushing yards 
to quarterbacks in the league 

612
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,480
this year, by the way. 
And JJ can run a little bit, 

613
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,920
too. 
It is worth noting that both of 

614
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,680
McCarthy's tackles and his 
center are on the injury report 

615
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,560
this week as well. 
Christian Darasaw, I think, is 

616
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,640
the one most in danger of not 
going. 

617
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,920
He didn't play last week, but 
Ryan Kelly and Brian O'Neill are

618
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,760
also on the injury report. 
And keep an eye on that if if 

619
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,240
both of them don't go as well, I
think you definitely downgrade 

620
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,640
McCarthy, maybe even all the way
to the bench. 

621
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,320
I don't know if I can trust 
McCarthy with three of his five 

622
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,200
starting lineman not playing. 
Justin Jefferson gets a silver 

623
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,760
grade. 
I think he scores this week. 

624
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,600
By the way, he should have 
caught a touchdown last week, 

625
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,880
kind of dropped it and then had 
one called back for a penalty. 

626
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,000
The Vikings are clearly 
targeting him in the red zone. 

627
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,760
And even if they get their way, 
even even if they get way up in 

628
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,560
this game, they're evaluating 
their passing game for the rest 

629
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,400
of the season. 
They're going to keep throwing 

630
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,840
the ball. 
Justin Jefferson, by the way, 

631
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,680
needs 168 yards to hit 1000 on 
the season and KOC already said 

632
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,200
that they're going to try to get
him that. 

633
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,480
So I think Justin Jefferson is 
heavily in focus this week. 

634
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,600
Jordan Addison and Jaylen 
Naylor, they're both startable 

635
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,240
in a pinch with bronze grades. 
The Giants have allowed the 

636
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,600
fifth most receiving yards to 
opposing wide receivers at 163 

637
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,120
per game. 
Naylor coming off A2 touchdown 

638
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,720
game in Dallas. 
Addison has been a downfield 

639
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,280
threat for JJ. 
He had another deep catch last 

640
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,760
week, but Naylor's the guy who's
kind of been J JS whoopie a 

641
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,880
little bit. 
He's kind of just found him at 

642
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,240
the right time. 
So I think both are startable 

643
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,080
with bronze grades, as is TJ. 
Hawkinson quietly put up a 

644
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,440
couple of respectable weeks even
with Max Brosmer as his 

645
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,000
quarterback. 
He had 6 catches for 59 yards 

646
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,400
and in the last two weeks scored
against the Commanders and had 

647
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,760
four for 66 last week against 
Dallas. 

648
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,760
And JJ has been throwing the 
ball in the red zone a ton. 

649
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,040
And if Jefferson is double 
covered, which is happening on 

650
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,680
almost all of his red zone 
routes right now, that's how TJ 

651
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,160
Hawkinson gets open. 
That's how Josh Oliver scores 2 

652
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,120
touchdowns against the 
Commanders. 

653
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,120
The Giants aren't a particularly
easy match up for tight ends, 

654
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,320
mostly because you haven't 
really needed to utilize the 

655
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,320
tight end that much to beat 
them. 

656
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,520
But their pass rush is garbage 
and wide receivers have been 

657
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,080
open all day. 
And Dallas Goddard scored on 

658
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,320
them thrice this season in their
two meetings. 

659
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,720
Hunter Henry put up 4 for 73 a 
couple weeks ago. 

660
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,000
I think T JS in a good spot. 
Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason 

661
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,960
both get a bronze grade two. 
It was about an even split in 

662
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,280
the backfield. 
Slight edge to Jones last week. 

663
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,280
12 to 10 in carries in favor of 
Jones. 

664
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,080
Jones had three catches. 
Mason didn't have a catch. 

665
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,720
But Mason has seen 6 red zone 
touches in the last two weeks 

666
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,320
compared to Jones 2, and the 
Giants allow the second most 

667
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,480
combo yards to opposing backs at
157 per game. 

668
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,240
So if you split that and even if
you take off a little, these 

669
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,040
guys are looking at like 70 
yards apiece and that's worthy 

670
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,120
of a bronze. 
So I think they're both in play.

671
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,400
Jackson Dart is miraculously not
on the injury report. 

672
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,040
He's had five confirmed 
concussions between college and 

673
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,640
the NFL and was in the blue tent
being evaluated for a concussion

674
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,400
last week. 
And they threw him back in the 

675
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,840
game. 
It feels like he's the least 

676
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,960
likely of NFL quarterbacks to 
finish a game in Week 16. 

677
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,040
And he faces the top quarterback
defense in the league. 

678
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,480
The Vikings are top five in past
yards and touchdowns allowed. 

679
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,080
They've only given up 1 
touchdown on the ground to a 

680
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,400
quarterback this year. 
The Vikings did lose stud edge 

681
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,440
rusher Jonathan Granard and 
starting safety Josh Matelas to 

682
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,200
IR though this week. 
It's still a bench grade for 

683
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,320
Dart though. 
I I can't figure out a way to 

684
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,480
put him in my lineup. 
Wandale Robinson gets a bronze 

685
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,000
grade. 
It actually might be better if 

686
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,400
if Dart goes down and Jameis 
comes in. 

687
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:31,200
Maybe, but Robinson has been a 
pretty reliable like 10 targets 

688
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,400
per game over the past month and
a half. 

689
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,240
Problem is, he's only catching 
just over half of his targets in

690
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,920
the past five weeks. 
He scores against bad defenses, 

691
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,680
he doesn't score against good 
ones. 

692
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,880
The Vikings are a good one. 
They're only allowing 9 

693
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:50,440
receptions. 
Oh, there we go. 99 receptions 

694
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,200
per game to wide receivers. 
That's third fewest in the 

695
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,920
league. 
That's that's so few. 

696
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,720
They haven't allowed a wide 
receiver touchdown since Week 9.

697
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,120
It's been six weeks since the 
wide receiver has scored against

698
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:05,760
the Vikings. 
It's crazy. 

699
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,639
Theo Johnson catches 3 balls per
game pretty much exactly. 

700
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,400
He's alternated between 30 yard 
games and 70 yard games over the

701
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,400
past five weeks. 
Problem is he had a 70 some yard

702
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,960
game last week and in the last 
six games, no tight end has 

703
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,880
topped 45 yards against the 
Vikings. 

704
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,600
Only Mark Andrews has scored in 
those games. 

705
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,239
That was way back in week 10. 
So Theo Johnson's on the bench 

706
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,239
and then there's Tyrone Tracy 
and Devin Singletary. 

707
00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:35,600
Tracy seems to have taken the 
backfield back. 

708
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,960
He had 18 touches to Singletary 
6 last week. 

709
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,520
Tracy also scored twice and it 
seems like there's a little bit 

710
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,440
of wiggle room for Tracy here to
get to double digit PPR points. 

711
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,639
The Vikings have been bend but 
don't break against runners and 

712
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:51,840
it feels like a high volume day 
for both backs could be in play 

713
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,000
if the Giants want to keep it 
anywhere close. 

714
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,040
Nine different backs if it 
double digit PPR points against 

715
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,080
Minnesota in their last eight 
games, and that includes both 

716
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,800
Javonte Williams and Malik Davis
last week. 

717
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,720
So I'll give Tracy a bronze 
grade singletary I'd just leave 

718
00:35:05,720 --> 00:35:07,600
on the bench. 
If you're starting Devon 

719
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,040
Singletary in the fantasy 
playoffs, you've got problems 

720
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,720
and you're probably not going to
win. 

721
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,040

All right, Trevor, the Chargers 

728
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,200
head to Dallas this week and 
it's a much easier task than 

729
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:44,080
last week for Justin Airbear and
the offense, but have fantasy 

730
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,520
players. 
Just lost trust in the Chargers 

731
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,440
offense at this point. 
Yeah, it's tough because the 

732
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,640
ecosystem around Herbert has 
just fallen apart recently. 

733
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,720
Specifically the offensive line.
Herbert's taken 14 sacks in his 

734
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:58,360
three games since the buy and 
averaged just 25 pass attempts 

735
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,360
in those three as LA tries to 
scheme around having backups or 

736
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,080
third stringers at both tackle 
spots. 

737
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,840
So yeah, it's not been great, 
but it's kind of the best 

738
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,800
matchup. 
Dallas is league worse in 

739
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,480
passing yards, passing 
touchdowns and rushing 

740
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,320
touchdowns allowed to enemy QBs 
so that keeps Herbert and play 

741
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,360
as a low end QB one this week 
the running game I'm getting 

742
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,040
both a Marion Hampton and Kameli
Vidal bronzes. 

743
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,920
In the two games since Hampton 
returned the workloads really 

744
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,200
split right in half. 
Hampton has 31 touches 2 Vidal's

745
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,240
28. 
However, Vidal is on the field 

746
00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:30,480
more 69 and 64% snaps run 
compared to just 31 and 36 for 

747
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,520
Hampton. 
I guess Fidel is the guy they 

748
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,440
trust pass protection right now,
which would explain why he's 

749
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,880
seeing a lot of snaps, but 
obviously Hampton touches the 

750
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,160
ball when he's on the field. 
On the season of Dow, it's been 

751
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,000
a good match up for running 
backs, but not since they added 

752
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,080
Quinn and Williams. 
In the five games since the 

753
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,280
Quinn and Williams trade, the 
Cowboys are giving up just 79 

754
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,760
yards per game on the ground 
volume and the game having the 

755
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,640
second highest total do keep 
both backs in play. 

756
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,160
For the receivers, only Lad 
Mcconkey gets the bronze keeping

757
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,240
the other receivers on the 
bench. 

758
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,000
Quentin Johnson's got 5 catches 
in his last four games. 

759
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,320
Keenan Allen hasn't topped 60 
yards since Week 7. 

760
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,040
I'm keeping the light on for the
lad. 

761
00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:04,560
He gets the most slot work for 
the Chargers and Dallas has been

762
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,440
eaten up by some slots recently 
like Amon Rah and Rasheed Rice 

763
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,000
for 92 yards apiece in their 
last three games. 

764
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,760
Cowboys have also given up the 
most touchdowns to receivers in 

765
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,360
the third most yards to the 
position. 

766
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,640
Ronda Gadson we're keeping on 
the bench as well. 

767
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,000
He hasn't scored in six weeks 
and he has just 8 combined 

768
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,720
catches in his last four games. 
Dallas has only given up 4 

769
00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:23,440
touchdowns to the position all 
season. 

770
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,280
On the other side here, DAC gets
a silver. 

771
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,560
He's been great recently, 
averaging 322 passing yards per 

772
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,240
game over his last five, and 
that's come against some good 

773
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:35,120
defenses like Philly, Kansas 
City and Minnesota. 

774
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,960
He also has multiple touchdown 
throws and three of the five. 

775
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:40,640
The Chargers are a tough match 
if they've allowed the fewest 

776
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,320
passing touchdowns, but Dallas 
leads a league in offensive 

777
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,000
yards at his 5th and scoring 
offense in this game as I think 

778
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,640
the second or third highest 
total on the weekend. 

779
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,160
Jomonte Williams gets a bronze. 
After a bit of a hot start to 

780
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,080
the season, he's kind of settled
in as a nice running back. 

781
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,840
Two weekly with at least 15 
touches in six straight games. 

782
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,440
The floor has been good, the 
ceiling really hasn't. 

783
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,480
He hasn't topped 100 combo yards
since Week 7. 

784
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,280
Only two backs have cleared 100 
rushing yards against the 

785
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,760
Chargers since Week 2. 
That was Saquon and Devon A 

786
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,840
Chan, which Javonte Williams is 
not. 

787
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,960
Dallas even held JT to 94 yards 
in the passing game here. 

788
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,240
CD Lamb, he stays hot with a 
goal. 

789
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,920
The Chargers best wide receiver 
defense which they are very 

790
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,800
good, but that comes mostly 
against outside receivers and CD

791
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,520
runs. 
A-Team high 36% of his routes 

792
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,480
from the slot. 
He's got three straight games 

793
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,400
with over 120 / 110 yards as 
well. 

794
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,000
George Pickens. 
This is maybe the toughest one I

795
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,800
I had all week. 
I ended up with the bronze. 

796
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,800
He's been comatose in the last 
two games. 

797
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,800
Just 8 catches for 70 yards 
combined and and multiple 

798
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,680
loafing. 
Bad loafing clips. 

799
00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:42,840
The Chargers are the number one 
toughest defense for opposing 

800
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,640
receivers. 
Only allowed six receiving 

801
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,160
touchdowns to the position all 
year. 

802
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,040
Only four teams have given up 
less yards. 

803
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,080
We're not benching a guy with 
like 35 point upside in any 

804
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,240
given week. 
So Pickens talent and gaming 

805
00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:55,680
environment keep him starting 
but lower the expectations a 

806
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,840
little bit. 
Finally, we'll round it out with

807
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,200
Do you have something there On 
beckons Matt. 

808
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,880
I was gonna say Pickens is the 
kind of guy you start if you 

809
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,160
played against Puka already. 
Yeah, that's, it's almost a good

810
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,880
way to think about it. 
Like do you need ceiling or do 

811
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,560
you need floor 'cause if you 
need ceiling, Pickens has it 

812
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,880
higher than almost anybody. 
George. 

813
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,440
George Pickens or Mike Evans 
asking for a friend. 

814
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,680
Mike Evans. 
That's where I'm at right now. 

815
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,880
Yeah, yeah, I think Mike Evans, 
but man, you should be excited 

816
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,280
for that. 
And it's like, I don't know what

817
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:28,120
I just. 
Wanna do? 

818
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:29,520
Yeah, it's a. 
It's a good problem to have. 

819
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,680
Yeah, yeah. 
For sure, we'll round it out 

820
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,160
with Jake Ferguson. 
He gets a bronze. 

821
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,920
He's been consistent recently. 
Four or more catches in five of 

822
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,760
his last six. 
Just one touchdown in that 

823
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,000
stretch, though LA permits the 
5th fewest catches to the 

824
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,720
position, though each of the 
last three Titan ones to face 

825
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:44,960
the Chargers did clear at least 
4 catches in 60 yards. 

826
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:49,360
So he's an OK *. 
All right, hey guys, did you 

827
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,360
know that fantasy football 
season is almost over? 

828
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,400
That's so sad. 
You know what's fun though? 

829
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,400
Fantasy golf. 
And we've got a huge fantasy 

830
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,680
golf contest coming up at Sports
Hub. 

831
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,600
I'm going to let my friend Pat 
Mayo tell you about it. 

832
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,560
All right people, it's that time
of year again. 

833
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,040
The Mayo Cup is officially open.

834
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,000

making coward picks and actually
commit to greatness. 

836

850
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,840
Welcome back. 
I love 1 and done golf, by the 

851
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:21,560
way, super fun format. 
And by the way, if a $250 entry 

852

fee is too rich for your blood, 
Fantasy Golf championships has a

853
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,560
bunch of different season long 
leagues that run and actually 

854
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,400
I'm hosting a private 40 player 
tournament and I'm inviting you 

855
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:34,960
who are listening to this 
program right now. 

856
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,000
Go check my Twitter if you want 
to join me in that contest. 

857
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,920
Trevor, you could be in it. 
Kent, you could be in it It's 

858
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,520
$25 contest. 
We're going to limit it to 40 

859
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,400
people. 
It's going to pay out the top 

860
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:46,600
ten. 
It's going to be very fun. 

861
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,640
Come play 1 and done golf with 
me now time for a segment that 

862
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:55,800
we like to call 2 tough nuts. 
It's time for two tough nuts 

863
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:09,000
crack. 
I don't know why I crack myself 

864
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,360
up every time I say that. 
Don't crack your own tough nuts.

865
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,760
That's you don't want to. 
Yeah, that's self-inflicted. 

866
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,200
Injury right there. 
Those of you at home who want to

867
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:24,320
play along with two tough nuts, 
I always remind everybody, do so

868
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:25,920
very safely. 
Do it. 

869
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,160
Do it in the comfort of your own
home, preferably with your 

870
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,360
drapes closed. 
You know, all right, tough nut 

871
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,480
#1. 
Which current rookie quarterback

872
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:40,920
will have the highest ADP in 
redraft leagues in 2026? 

873
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,320
Kent, let's start with you. 
I am going with Jackson Dart. 

874
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,080
He's got some actually 
interesting efficiency numbers 

875
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:51,400
under the hood. 
He's 14th in EPACPOE composite, 

876
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,520
which is a lot of letters to say
one of the most predictive 

877
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,000
things of future success and 
he's had at least one pass 

878
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,400
touchdown in every single game 
that he's played in its 

879
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:00,840
entirety. 
He's also getting Malik 

880
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,240
neighbors back next year, which 
should be an uptick for him. 

881
00:43:03,240 --> 00:43:06,760
Should be a lot of fun to watch.
He's his rushing floor, not to 

882
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,960
mention is one of the best 
things about him in in his nine 

883
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,160
full game, 70 attempts, 400 
rushing yards and seven rush 

884
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,360
touchdowns. 
I mean, he's a fun player, maybe

885
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,440
a little too much fun at times 
with his concussion issues, but 

886
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,760
he's going to be a lot of fun to
watch next year I think. 

887
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,960
All right, Trevor, did you get a
tough nut right last week? 

888
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,640
I did not and I felt good about 
getting this one right. 

889
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:30,440
And then Kent said Jackson Dart 
and I was like, this is too 

890
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,080
easy, right? 
Like so I said Jackson Dart as 

891
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,440
well. 
Dart's got an elite left tackle 

892
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,240
and Andrew Thomas and the elite 
receiver won in the league. 

893
00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:39,520
Neighbors Kim Ward has a 
passable offensive line with the

894
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,120
worst sealed position players in
the league. 

895
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,040
I understand that Titans have a 
ton of cap space. 

896
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,000
Good players aren't available in
free agency for the most part 

897
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,440
anymore like they used to be. 
And like, like Kent said, the 

898
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,320
the dual threat really pushes 
Dart over the top. 

899
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,880
He surpassed 54 rushing yards at
six of his nine games this year.

900
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,600
That's massive. 
I think the only way this isn't 

901
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:01,200
Jackson Dart is if the Giants 
draft Mendoza at #1 which would 

902
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,760
surprise me. 
Yeah, I don't think they're 

903
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,760
going to draft Mendoza at #1 All
right, Trevor, I, I thought I 

904
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,360
gave you a layup this week. 
You got it wrong again. 

905
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:11,600
It's Tyler. 
No, it's not. 

906
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,080
I was going to say I was like, 
I'm gonna just quit. 

907
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,640
That's yeah. 
But anyway, it's Shudur. 

908
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,840
Sanders, you. 
Know I do have Jackson, Dart, 

909
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,840
Kent, Kent and Trevor. 
You guys kind of nailed it. 

910
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,760
They have the pieces in place. 
Malik Neighbors, by the way, 

911
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,520
they have Cam Scataboo returning
too. 

912
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,640
That's a pretty nice offensive 
piece to have. 

913
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,400
Wandale Robinson isn't a bad 
second receiver. 

914
00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:36,920
Theo Johnson, a very serviceable
tight end. 

915
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,680
They're probably going to get 
the number one overall pick 

916
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,080
unless something goes very wrong
for them and they win in the 

917
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,720
next three weeks they play. 
The Raiders in two weeks, I 

918
00:44:46,720 --> 00:44:48,200
believe. 
Oh, that's not good. 

919
00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:54,240
If if they do get the number one
pick, I think they trade out of 

920
00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:57,560
that pick and they trade it for 
a bunch of other draft picks 

921
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,400
that could help them. 
Plus, they're going to have a 

922
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,560
new head coach and either it's 
going to be an offensive mind 

923
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,360
that can help develop a young 
QB, or they're going to put that

924
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,040
in place with the new offensive 
coordinator. 

925
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,560
And he's one of the few 
quarterbacks who does offer some

926
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,360
legit running potential. 
We talked about it a little bit 

927
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,280
on last week's show. 
There's just not many more 

928
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:20,280
running quarterbacks anymore. 
And he might be this generation 

929
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,960
of quarterbacks. 
Best bet to be the rushing 

930
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:27,280
upside QB. 
All right, good job, Trevor. 

931
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,040
You did it your first tough nut 
correctly. 

932
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,440
It only took a month I think. 
So yeah, I think so. 

933
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:39,000
All right, tough nut #2. 17 
different flex eligible players 

934
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,240
scored multiple touchdowns in 
Week 15. 

935
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:46,200
Which of them has the best 
chance to repeat their multi 

936
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:50,280
touchdown effort in both weeks 
16 and 17? 

937
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,560
Basically, who's going to be the
hero of the fantasy playoffs? 

938
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,160
All right, Trevor, you go first 
this time. 

939
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,440
I went Trey McBride this week. 
He's got a tough match up 

940
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,200
against Atlanta. 
Although the Falcons have played

941
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,720
a horrific tight end schedule, 
they only face 2 tight ends you 

942
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:08,840
would consider above average. 
That was Tyler Warren who went 

943
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,160
for 8 and 99. 
And then George Kittle, His 

944
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,800
first game back from injury was 
against this team so we actually

945
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,320
got blanked. 
I went to my betting site and 

946
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,240
found that Bet Online has Trey 
McBride a + 450 to score twice 

947
00:46:19,240 --> 00:46:21,120
this week. 
For comparison, James Cook, 

948
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,960
somebody who's you know, good 
about to score plus 350. 

949
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,040
So it's not as crazy as you 
think for him to score twice 

950
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:27,960
this week. 
It's really just this week 

951
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,600
you're worried about because 
next week is Trey McBride 

952
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,880
against the Bengals, which I 
don't even know. 

953
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,160
Like, what kind of cosmic forces
might just the the greatest 

954
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,280
tight end of all time against 
the worst defense of all time 

955
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,880
just gonna be crazy? 
Yeah. 

956
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,320
Arizona's on running back 4. 
Jacobi loves getting Jacobi 

957
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:44,840
preset. 
Loves getting 40 pass attempts 

958
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,320
off the Cardinals. 
Sets up another big McBride week

959
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:51,800
in the Fantasy Championship. 
All right, Kent, who's the 

960
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,720
fantasy hero coming down the 
Pike with multiple touchdowns in

961
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:57,680
the next two weeks? 
Yeah, I went with Dallas 

962
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,200
Goddard. 
I tried to pick one. 

963
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,360
You know, you said flex 
eligible, eligible. 

964
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,800
I tried to pick one that was a 
little bit like you could 

965
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,320
potentially find him and play 
him there in a flex spot with 

966
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,600
another tight end or something. 
But he's going against the 

967
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,400
Commanders this week and they 
have completely given up their 

968
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,360
will to live and they were 
atrocious even when they were 

969
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,520
trying. 
So they were the 4th most 

970
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,040
points, a lot of tight ends on 
the year. 

971
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,560
So that's a good match up. 
They got the Buffalo Bills in 

972
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,240
Week 17, so that should be at 
least a high scoring affair 

973
00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:25,080
where you have the opportunity 
for some touchdowns. 

974
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,360
Dallas got it, has three multi 
touchdown games this season, 

975
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,840
already tied for 6th, and he's 
got 17 total targets the last 

976
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,480
two weeks. 
I think it's a good spot for 

977
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,680
him. 
Those are those are both really 

978
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,840
good answers and I'm not even 
lying about that. 

979
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,280
I I really like those answers 
and I like am considering just 

980
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,400
changing my answer to Trevor's 
answer right now and Trey 

981
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,240
McBride. 
I didn't end up with Trey 

982
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:48,960
McBride as the correct answer 
though. 

983
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:55,120
I have Treyvion Henderson who 
had 14 carries, 148 yards and 

984
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,000
two scores last week. 
This week he gets the Ravens. 

985
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,320
They've been a little bit better
against the run as of late, but 

986
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,240
they allowed two multi score 
games to backs this year and 

987
00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:07,320
Henderson is really good. 
In the past game too, the Ravens

988
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,160
have given up the 4th most 
receptions and receiving yards 

989
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,760
to opposing backs. 
So I think he's in play from 

990
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,120
multiple angles and they're 
really kind of dwindling down on

991
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,040
Romandre Stevenson's touches 
right now. 

992
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,000
And then they get The Jets in 
Week 17. 

993
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,200
They're just brutal against 
runners. 

994
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:29,120
Multiple touchdowns to running 
backs in five straight games. 

995
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:35,800
They gave up four touchdowns to 
the Jags backs last week all 

996
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:40,200
through the air. 
By the way, Trey McBride's a 

997
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,120
fantastic answer. 
And Trevor, guess what? 

998
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,240
I'm going to give you credit as 
the correct answer because I 

999
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,560
really should have. 
I got this one wrong. 

1000
00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:54,840
My friend Paul from Utah never 
got his own tough nut wrong. 

1001
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,320
Well, those were my 2 tough nuts
to crack, and Trevor cracked him

1002
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,680
better than I could, so here we 
go. 

1003
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,520
All right, let's move back to 
the matchups and we're going to 

1004
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:10,480
get to man, what a doozy of a 
game The Jets and Saints play 

1005
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,160
this Sunday. 
Kent. 

1006
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,640
The only reason anyone would 
watch this game is if they had 

1007
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,360
fantasy players going in this 
game. 

1008
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,200
Are there any that you would 
really want to play? 

1009
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:24,040
The the true degenerates among 
us are tuning in for every 

1010
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,120
second of this game. 
What are you talking about Matt?

1011
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,760
Yeah, this is a tough one. 
I guess we'll just start on The 

1012
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,360
Jets side of things. 
I will give Breece Hall a bronze

1013
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,480
grade. 
He's just had 12 plus touches 

1014
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,520
every single game this season 
season low yardage totals these 

1015
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,840
last couple weeks, 37 scrimmage 
yards last week, 43 the week 

1016
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,240
before. 
But he does have 10 red zone 

1017
00:49:43,240 --> 00:49:46,240
opportunities in the last month.
So despite only scoring 1 

1018
00:49:46,240 --> 00:49:48,560
touchdown, there's there's at 
least a little bit of scoring 

1019
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,640
upside. 
I guess he's startable in it 

1020
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,560
like a flex play for sure in 
most leagues. 

1021
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,040
So you got to give him a 
starting grade at night. 

1022
00:49:56,040 --> 00:50:00,200
Mitchell I will give a silver 
grade to since week 11. 

1023
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:04,240
He's 4th in average air yards 
per game and he has a 27% target

1024
00:50:04,240 --> 00:50:07,360
share in his last three games, 
which is very good mark to hit 

1025
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,640
this New Orleans defense. 
They're tough. 

1026
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,800
They're the fourth lowest 
success rate allowed among drop 

1027
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,520
backs, but they are 21st and 
explosive plays allowed in the 

1028
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,840
last month, which is where 
Mitchell's making his money. 

1029
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,600
So I gave him the silver grade. 
I want to find a little silver 

1030
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,280
lining, so to speak with 
Mitchell in this game. 

1031
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,240
John Menchie, we're leaving on 
the bench, low volume, not 

1032
00:50:27,240 --> 00:50:28,840
interested. 
And then Mason Taylor sounds 

1033
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:30,520
like he's not going to play with
that neck injury. 

1034
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,480
So obviously you're not starting
him. 

1035
00:50:32,720 --> 00:50:35,720
Tyrod Taylor, not interested, 
Only one game with 200 plus 

1036
00:50:35,720 --> 00:50:38,440
yards and one game with two plus
passing touchdowns. 

1037
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,000
And those were different games. 
So you really have no upside to 

1038
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,280
him right now over on the New 
Orleans side of things. 

1039
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,000
Tyler Shuck? 
Well, you may have considered 

1040
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,000
him as the answer for your tough
nut. 

1041
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,760
We're leaving him on the bench. 
He has had 18.1 fantasy points 

1042
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,400
or better in his last three 
games, but only three passing 

1043
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,280
touchdowns in the last month. 
A couple of rushing touchdowns 

1044
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,120
kind of helped them get there. 
So you're just not interested? 

1045
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,840
Yeah, I, I. 
I made this mistake last week 

1046
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,920
when I said, oh, you don't even 
need to pass against The Jets to

1047
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:10,080
get in and Trevor Lawrence went 
for five touchdowns. 

1048
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,360
That's fair. 
That is fair. 

1049
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:13,840
Maybe there's an opportunity 
there. 

1050
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,000
You, you just probably have 
better options is really what it

1051
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,680
comes down to in your 
semifinals. 

1052
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,360
I had talked about Audrick 
Estimate already. 

1053
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,320
He gets a silver grade. 
Roll the dice player Evan Hall, 

1054
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:24,560
you know, just to call out his 
name. 

1055
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,320
Some people think there might be
an opportunity. 

1056
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,600
I I'm leaving him on the bench. 
I think this is going to be 

1057
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,040
Estimate's backfield for at 
least this game. 

1058
00:51:31,240 --> 00:51:34,680
We'll find out for sure. 
But Chris Olave I will give a 

1059
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,440
gold grade to. 
I think he's going to get 

1060
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,760
essentially all the targets in 
this team because estimates not 

1061
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:43,160
much of A pass catcher. 
He only had like 17 receptions 

1062
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,800
in college or something like 
that with Camara, valet, Neil 

1063
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,040
all out 10 plus targets feels 
very likely for Chris Olava in 

1064
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:54,560
this match up and new the New 
York Jets are 27th and explosive

1065
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:55,800
passing plays allowed in the 
last month. 

1066
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,560
So there's at least an 
opportunity here for him. 

1067
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:02,040
He might get the bracket, but 
maybe he can deal with that just

1068
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:06,120
by pure volume. 
Juan Johnson with the receivers 

1069
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,960
out, I will give a a cracked 
glass bronze. 

1070
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,040
You know, like if you really 
need a tight end for some 

1071
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:15,280
reason, you can start him. 
He'll probably have an uptick in

1072
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,160
targets in the games with 7 plus
targets, he averages 5.7 

1073
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,080
receptions and 56 yards. 
So that's that's not bad. 

1074
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:22,680
You might get a touchdown out of
that too. 

1075
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:24,280
It'll fill the gap. 
OK. 

1076
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,280
And the only the New York Jets 
have not really played many 

1077
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,800
tough tight ends either. 
The only top five tight end they

1078
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,400
played all year has been Kyle 
Pitts, and he went seven for 

1079
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,360
8:00 for 82 yards against them. 
So I don't know if you think 

1080
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:37,920
Juwan Johnson can get the job 
done. 

1081
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,960
Throw them in a flex maybe, or a
tight end if you really need it.

1082
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:45,480
But yeah, just in case. 
Did you get to like 6 tepid 

1083
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:49,680
starting grades in that game? 
I found ways to feel positive 

1084
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,880
about players because I'm a true
degenerate, like I said. 

1085
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,280
Rainbows and sunshine for Kent 
Wyrock. 

1086
00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:00,000
That's all it is. 
All right, the Bucks and 

1087
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,920
Panthers are about to play their
first match up between these two

1088
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,280
divisional rivals over the next 
three weeks, and that's going to

1089
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,320
decide which of these teams goes
to the playoffs. 

1090
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,560
I already told you I liked Bryce
Young as my roll the dice 

1091
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,440
quarterback. 
So what about his receivers? 

1092
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,200
Ted McMillan returned to 
practice on Thursday. 

1093
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,960
He was dealing with foot and 
ankle injuries. 

1094
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,200
Maybe it's because of those 
nagging injuries that Jalen 

1095
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,600
Coker led the team last week 
with four catches and 60 yards, 

1096
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,880
plus the score. 
Ted's volume has just dried up 

1097
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,800
the last few weeks, though. 
In Week 11, he had eight 

1098
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,840
catches. 
Since then, 21 and two in the 

1099
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:38,400
three games since. 
That's not good. 

1100
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:40,800
I'm going to get to bronze 
grades on both. 

1101
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,080
Tampa's been terrible against 
the past as of recent, but 

1102
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:47,040
they've kind of limited wide 
receivers in that they're 

1103
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,200
they're giving up a lot to 
running backs and tight ends. 

1104
00:53:49,720 --> 00:53:52,800
Only three touchdowns allowed to
wide receivers in the last five 

1105
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,280
games. 
They've limited yardage, but it 

1106
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,720
it's weird. 
They have been terrible against 

1107
00:53:58,720 --> 00:54:01,920
pass catching backs and that's 
why Rico Dowdell gets a gold 

1108
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,880
grade from me here. 
He's getting about 17 carries 

1109
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,280
per game. 
He's much better than Chuba 

1110
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:12,000
Hubbard at pass catching. 
Not that Chuba Hubbard's bad, 

1111
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:13,640
but Dowdell's just a little bit 
better. 

1112
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,760
Tampa OK against traditional 
backs between the tackles, but 

1113
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,480
they've allowed the ninth most 
receptions and then the most 

1114
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,360
yards to receiving running 
backs. 

1115
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:27,080
So backfield receiving yardage 
totals in the last five weeks. 

1116
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:31,640
66 to James Cook, 61 to Ty 
Johnson. 

1117
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:35,000
That was in the same game both 
of them scored through the air. 

1118
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:40,160
83 and a score to the Cards. 
Combo of backs. 8 catches for 82

1119
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:44,560
yards to Bijan last week. 
So there's huge catch up side 

1120
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,640
here. 
So I got Dowdell as a gold. 

1121
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,720
Hubbard I could see getting 
mixed in, but I can't advise you

1122
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,280
starting him in a fantasy 
playoff week like this. 

1123
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,800
Bucky Irving is back and he's on
the other side. 

1124
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:57,640
I'm going to start him with a 
silver grade. 

1125
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,520
It would be a gold grade. 
I kind of think He's still a 

1126
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:04,720
little bit injured though. 
He's got the touch totals, 1917 

1127
00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:08,520
and 17 since his return, but his
yardage totals have been kind of

1128
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,640
bad for a player of his 
magnitude and slipperiness. 

1129
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,720
Only 8181 and 71 combo yards in 
this game. 

1130
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,200
Now he has scored in two out of 
three games. 

1131
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:22,760
That has kept you afloat. 
The match up is great. 

1132
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:26,400
Carolina gives up 4.8 yards per 
carry, That's the fourth worst 

1133
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,160
in the league and runners 
average just over a touchdown 

1134
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,880
per game against them. 
So I think Bucky is good enough 

1135
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,800
to get a silver grade here. 
I'm just worried that he can't 

1136
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:36,960
have the big blow up game that 
we all need. 

1137
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:40,760
Baker Mayfield, he also looks 
kind of hurt. 

1138
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,200
He did top 200 yards last week 
for the first time since week 10

1139
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:45,960
though, through for multiple 
scorers. 

1140
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:47,600
So you're saying there's a 
chance here? 

1141
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:53,320
The kids call the Carolina pass 
defense mid, but Stafford 

1142
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:58,680
managed 243 and two and Shuck 
got to 272 and one in the last 

1143
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,200
two weeks. 
I think Baker's kind of in the 

1144
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:06,000
middle of that there like 260 
and 1 1/2 touchdowns ish. 

1145
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,520
That sounds about right to me. 
That seems like a Shibuichi 

1146
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,040
somewhere between a bronze and a
silver. 

1147
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,520
So we'll go Shibuichi on Baker 
Mayfield. 

1148
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,400
Then there's the wide receivers.
By the way, K Dotton looks like 

1149
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,080
he's not going to play. 
So you're not even considering a

1150
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:25,960
tight end Mike Evans a Mecca? 
EG Buka and Chris Godwin, all 

1151
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:29,840
three of them played for the 
first time ever in a game last 

1152
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,880
week. 
Evans was back as the A12 

1153
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:36,120
targets in that game. 
Igbuca had a solid 7 targets. 

1154
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,200
Godwin had five targets. 
He caught four of them only for 

1155
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,120
20 yards, but he had the 
touchdown and the other two 

1156
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:44,560
didn't. 
When all three of them are out 

1157
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:46,160
there, it's really pick your 
poison time. 

1158
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:50,680
Godwin runs the most routes out 
of the slot, about half of them,

1159
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,880
so he gets the best matchup 
against slot corner Chow Smith 

1160
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:56,560
Wade, who is totally not 
made-up. 

1161
00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:01,560
JC Horn likely goes against Mike
Evans, but that match up, it's 

1162
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,680
not as scary as it used to be. 
Horns allowed five touchdowns in

1163
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,520
his coverage this year. 
That's on the higher end. 

1164
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:11,120
This could be a repeat of what 
the Rams receivers did just two 

1165
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:14,400
weeks ago. 
Devante Puka and Xavier Smith 

1166
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,400
each hit 11 PPR points in that 
game. 

1167
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,560
So Evans gets a silver as the 
alpha. 

1168
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,720
EG Buka and Godwin get a bronze.
I don't mind if you start them 

1169
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:29,400
here. 
All right, let's let's go over 

1170
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:31,640
to the Falcons and Cardinals. 
And Trevor, we all saw it 

1171
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,400
coming. 
Kirk Cousins and Kyle Pitts are 

1172
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:38,240
fantasy playoff heroes. 
Can they keep it up on Sunday in

1173
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,000
the desert? 
I think one of them can. 

1174
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:42,680
We'll start on the Falcons with 
Kirk. 

1175
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,440
I am putting Kirk on the bench 
before he turned the back of the

1176
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,560
clock last week against Tampa as
Tampa was melting down. 

1177
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,800
His next best fantasy outputs 
were 199 and two and two, 3-4 

1178
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:53,200
and one that came against the 
Saints. 

1179
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,120
Jets were not very good 
defenses. 

1180
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,160
He's a low ceiling play, not a 
great matchup. 

1181
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:01,080
Dijon, I'm giving a platinum to.
Arizona gives up the fifth most 

1182
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,600
rushing yards and and Russian 
touchdown to the position. 

1183
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,920
Dijon's been a following 
monster, averaging more than 25 

1184
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:07,520
touches per game in his last 
three. 

1185
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,320
Dream match up for the fantasy 
playoffs. 

1186
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,720
I'm going to go out on a limb a 
little bit and give Drake London

1187
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:14,600
a goal. 
It sounds like he's going to 

1188
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,280
play this week. 
He got in a limited practice on 

1189
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,480
Thursday. 
Prior to his injury, he was 

1190
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,080
crushing. 
He had three straight games with

1191
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:21,840
six plus catches and over 100 
yards. 

1192
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,160
Cardinals are not in an imposing
match up for enemy receivers. 

1193
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,000
They've allowed the following 
receiver outings in just their 

1194
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:34,280
last four games. 385-271-6723 
for 78571 and 1:00 and 4:50 and 

1195
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:35,960
1:00. 
And that's everybody from Puku 

1196
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:40,160
Nukua to Parker Washington. 
Kyle Pitts is a silver. 

1197
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:42,160
Obviously. 
He blew up for the fantasy 

1198
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:43,720
performance of a lifetime last 
week. 

1199
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:45,880
I don't think we're chasing the 
box court here. 

1200
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,840
His targets have been trending 
up in the last four weeks since 

1201
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,840
Kirk took over, going from 5:00 
to 8:00 to 11:50. 

1202
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:53,800
Certainly that'll come down a 
little bit with Drake London 

1203
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:55,520
back. 
He does have three straight 

1204
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:57,560
games with at least 6 catches 
and 80 yards. 

1205
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,200
Arizona is a good match up, 
their bottom 10 and both yards 

1206
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:01,680
and catches allowed to the 
position. 

1207
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:05,280
So it's not as good as it was 
maybe a day or two ago, but it's

1208
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:06,720
still a good grade for Kyle 
Pitts. 

1209
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:08,920
Trevor, help me make this make 
sense. 

1210
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,400
You got a gold grade on London 
and a single grade bench grade 

1211
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,160
on Cousins. 
It's got to. 

1212
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:20,040
Be a bronze then if you can, you
can support like 2 good 

1213
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,120
receivers. 
The quarterback has to do it. 

1214
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:27,560
Bijan's not throwing this ball. 
Are we sure he's not, man? 

1215
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,560
It's just Kirk is a zero in the 
ground game. 

1216
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:31,600
He's not getting you any Russian
output whatsoever. 

1217
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:34,360
And it's just even if he throws 
for 250 yards and two 

1218
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,840
touchdowns, which. 
That's kind of his ceiling 

1219
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,920
bronze worthy. 
I don't know, maybe it's just 

1220
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:43,080
kind of the fantasy semi finals 
that's that's given me the just 

1221
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,000
kind of throwing perk to the 
side probably. 

1222
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,400
He's probably ranked in the mid 
to low 20s out of quarterbacks 

1223
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,480
this week, but if you like his 
receivers enough, I mean. 

1224
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,960
He's closer probably to a roll 
the dice quarterback. 

1225
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,640
There we go, a true bench. 
I'll take it. 

1226
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,000
All right. 
On the other side, we got Jacoby

1227
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,960
Brissett, who's just the most 
consistent quarterback of all 

1228
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:03,280
time. 
Give him a bronze. 

1229
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,040
In his nine starts this year, he
has multiple touchdowns and 

1230
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:09,080
eight of 940 passing attempts 
and seven of nine averaging over

1231
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:11,000
300 yards a game. 
Crazy. 

1232
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:12,800
Atlanta's not an opposing 
matchup. 

1233
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,080
They've already given up 23 
passing touchdowns on the year 

1234
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:16,920
and Arizona has just the 1 
running back left. 

1235
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:19,320
Michael Carter, which should 
keep the game plan focused on 

1236
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:21,880
the pass as if they needed more 
reasons to throw it. 

1237
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:24,680
Michael Carter was my roll the 
dice player, so we'll skip him. 

1238
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:26,880
I'm throwing a gold on Michael 
Wilson as well. 

1239
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,520
Any NFL player having a 5 game 
stretch where you're seeing over

1240
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,560
13 targets per game probably 
worth a goal. 

1241
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,080
Atlanta's permitted 17 wide 
receiver touchdowns this year, 

1242
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:37,880
which is fourth most in the 
league, so it's a good match up 

1243
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,360
too. 
I'm throwing the commercial 

1244
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:43,880
bronze on Marvin Harrison. 
He did return to practice this 

1245
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:47,720
week in a limited fashion. 
However, I think he's the clear 

1246
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:49,960
third option in the passing game
now behind Trey McBride and 

1247
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,520
Michael Wilson. 
He re injured himself mid game 

1248
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,200
the last time he came back from 
an injury. 

1249
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:55,840
I don't really trust him to 
finish the game. 

1250
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,080
He did clear 13 PPR points in 
six of his ten starts, and if 

1251
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,760
we're talking about 40 passing 
attempts, it's probably enough 

1252
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:05,680
to keep him live. 
Trey McBride, smash play. 

1253
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:06,640
If you have him, you're starting
him. 

1254
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:08,400
I will know. 
Atlanta's the second toughest 

1255
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:10,800
matchup for tight ends, but 
Houston's a great tight end 

1256
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:13,200
defense and Trey McBride burned 
them to the ground. 

1257
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:19,760
So yeah, play Trey McBride. 
He's an arsonist, Kent. 

1258
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,960
One of the more intriguing 
reality games on Sunday is the 

1259
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:27,880
Jags and Broncos in Denver. 
Travis ETN, coming off a Randy 

1260
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:33,000
Moss Thanksgiving 1998 light 
Game 3, catches 73 yards and 

1261
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:34,880
three touchdowns through the air
last week. 

1262
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,880
Can you repeat? 
That well, maybe because Bashel 

1263
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:39,480
Tooten is doubtful with a finger
injury. 

1264
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:41,360
So it's going to be all ETN all 
the time. 

1265
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:43,520
Baby. 
I, I won't give him a gold Gray 

1266
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:44,680
just because it is against 
Denver. 

1267
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,600
I'll give him a silver. 
ETN had, you know, 82 plus 

1268
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,960
scrimmage yards in three of his 
last four games, 5 total 

1269
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:51,600
touchdowns in his last two 
games. 

1270
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:55,520
His Denver defense, well, they 
are tough, has been 21st and 

1271
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:57,280
explosive rushing plays allowed 
in the last month. 

1272
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,560
So they've been showing some 
cracks as of late. 

1273
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,800
And I think ETN has an 
opportunity to have a good game 

1274
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:03,600
here. 
Trevor Lawrence, you know, I'll 

1275
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:05,960
bet everything I have that he 
doesn't throw 5 touchdowns 

1276
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:06,800
again. 
Any takers? 

1277
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,400
Takers. 
No, but he will get a silver 

1278
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,280
grade in this match up. 
I'll take that. 

1279
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,720
I'll take this 5 touchdowns and 
then you get everything I own. 

1280
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:17,760
So yeah, that's not too bad. 
I guess. 

1281
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,040
In the last month he's been 
quarterback one in points per 

1282
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:22,560
game. 
Obviously heavily influenced by 

1283
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:25,160
last week, but he was 
quarterback 5 without the big 

1284
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:28,720
one, so still pretty good. 
He's averaging 264 yards, He has

1285
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,880
12 touchdowns with just three 
picks, and he's added 121 

1286
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:33,560
rushing yards and a score on the
ground too. 

1287
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:36,640
He's been playing really, really
good football lately and some of

1288
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:38,720
those cracks that Denver defense
has been showing has been 

1289
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:42,400
through the air to 16th and EPA 
per drop back allowed in the 

1290
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:46,080
last month and 19th and 
explosive, all explosive plays 

1291
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:49,480
allowed, 11th in passing. 
So not as forgiving there, but 

1292
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,080
still some opportunity when you 
think of the Broncos as a very 

1293
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:54,880
good defense. 
He's going to be throwing to his

1294
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:59,880
wide receiver, one Jacoby Myers.
He's going to get a bronze grade

1295
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:02,840
in this game, but he's, I don't 
know, I, I was kind of in 

1296
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:04,760
between a few here. 
I think that the ball's going to

1297
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:07,400
get spread around, but Jacoby 
Myers gets a bronze since he's 

1298
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:10,160
been getting a full snap count 
with the Jaguars. 

1299
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:14,600
He's at 7.3 targets per game, 
4.8 reception, 63 yards and he's

1300
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:16,680
had three total touchdowns in 
that time span. 

1301
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:20,280
He leads the team with 26% 
target chair and 31% of the end 

1302
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,000
zone target. 
So he's had some scoring 

1303
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,320
opportunities lately and and 
he's been doing a good job with 

1304
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,320
it. 
Brian Thomas, I'm leaving on the

1305
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:27,640
bench. 
I think he's going to see the 

1306
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:31,000
most of Patrick Surtain this 
week, not just based on how the 

1307
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,960
alignment works out. 
You know, Brian Thomas is 

1308
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:36,160
probably still the most 
physically talented receiver on 

1309
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,440
the team compared to Myers. 
So they're going to go ahead and

1310
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,520
just shut him down and try and 
deal with Myers with the rest of

1311
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,400
the defense. 
Brenton Strange I will also 

1312
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,320
leave on the bench. 
He had just three targets last 

1313
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:49,080
week and 45 or fewer yards and 
three of his last four games. 

1314
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,280
So it's just not really that 
good of a look. 

1315
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,640
Trevor Lawrence, you know, I 
think he's just the sum of all 

1316
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:56,800
the parts, even though there's 
not many good parts, kind of 

1317
01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:01,080
like a anti Kirk Cousins 
situation going on here over on 

1318
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,720
the Broncos side of the ball. 
Bonex A bronze grade as well. 

1319
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,440
He's coming off a very nice 
game, 302 yards and four passing

1320
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,280
touchdowns, but it's four games 
prior to that he had just one 

1321
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,440
total passing touchdown and one 
rush touchdown. 

1322
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:14,720
So it's been kind of tough 
sledding for him. 

1323
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,560
I see still he's been 
quarterback 3IN points per game 

1324
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:19,880
in the last three weeks. 
So there's something there and 

1325
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:21,400
he's probably startable if 
you're in a pinch. 

1326
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:25,280
The Jacksonville defense has the
lowest EPA per drop back allowed

1327
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:28,120
in the last month, but that is 
events was again against a very 

1328
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:31,960
easy quarterback schedule in 
Brady Cook, Riley Leonard, Cam 

1329
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:34,120
Ward and Jacoby Brissett. 
So that's not really a ton to 

1330
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,200
read into there, but they're 
still a good defense. 

1331
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:39,960
RJ Harvey will get a bronze 
grade. 

1332
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:43,200
Since the JK Dobbins injury, 
which is weeks 11 through 15, 

1333
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,280
he's averaged 15 rushing 
attempts, 51 rushing yards, 3 

1334
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:49,840
1/2 targets and 18 receiving 
yards per game with four rushing

1335
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,880
touchdowns to his name. 
He was a full practice this week

1336
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:54,960
Despite that rib injury. 
We were worried about a little 

1337
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:58,320
bit, but the Jacksonville run 
defense, they they're pretty 

1338
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,200
tough. 
Fewest rushing, excuse me, 

1339
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:04,200
fewest rush yards allowed per 
game, fourth lowest rushing 

1340
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,280
yards over expectation allowed 
and then the third lowest yards 

1341
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:08,840
after contact per attempt 
allowed too. 

1342
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,000
So they really, really shut it 
down on all fronts there. 

1343
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:13,200
Portland Sutton gets a bronze 
grade. 

1344
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:17,160
He's got 10 targets in each of 
his last two games and 175 total

1345
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,360
receiving yards and a touchdown 
in those games. 

1346
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:22,280
And last month, he leads the 
team in target share, air yard 

1347
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:26,000
share and end zone target share.
So it's just he's the wide 

1348
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,760
receiver one on this team 
between Troy Franklin and Pat 

1349
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,240
Bryant. 
We're just going to bench both 

1350
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:31,840
of them. 
Bryant is back in practice. 

1351
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,800
So I don't know how you can 
decide which one's going to have

1352
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:36,760
a better game on any given week.
I don't think there's any 

1353
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,440
discernible trends there. 
So I'm not going to trust either

1354
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:42,640
of them in the semifinals. 
And then and yeah, you're 

1355
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,160
benching him. 
You can find someone better you.

1356
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:46,200
Don't want the Evan Ingraham 
revenge game? 

1357
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:49,640
Yeah, I guess there's that. 
But frankly, no, I do not. 

1358
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,240
Wow. 
Just so quick to cast aside the 

1359
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:56,600
Evan Ingraham revenge angle. 
He's so angry. 

1360
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:01,880
I I think he he has good, good 
tidings for the Jacksonville 

1361
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:04,760
Jaguars. 
Program all right, time for a 

1362
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,280
quick break and a word from Maj.
about game Blazers.

01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:43,040
learnmore@gameblazers.com. 
Welcome back. 

1373
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:47,600
The nearly inept Las Vegas 
Raiders offense heads to Houston

1374
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:50,040
to take on the best defense in 
the land of this week. 

1375
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:53,360
Can you start either of the two 
Raiders you'd think about 

1376
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:55,680
starting? 
Well, let's start with Brock 

1377
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:57,880
Bowers. 
It sounds like Geno Smith might 

1378
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,880
go this weekend, which would be 
better for Bowers, I think. 

1379
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:03,960
But it's still against the scary
Texans defense. 

1380
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:08,120
But the Texans faced another top
tight end last week in Trey 

1381
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:10,520
McBride. 
And as Trevor said, he burned 

1382
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:15,000
them down 12 catches, 135 yards 
and two touchdowns. 

1383
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,240
Now, Bowers. 
Here's his schedule over the 

1384
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,840
last month. 
He faced the Browns, Chargers, 

1385
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:27,240
Broncos, Eagles, and now Texans.
There's not a harder schedule of

1386
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:31,840
defenses that you can face. 
He's put up good numbers, double

1387
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:35,880
digit PPR points and three of 
the last four in and the one 

1388
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:38,760
last week against Philly, that's
the one he didn't get to double 

1389
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:41,400
digit PPR points. 
He had eight targets last week. 

1390
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:43,760
So I think Brock Bowers is still
startable. 

1391
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:47,160
I'll give him a silver grade. 
Ashton Gente is the other one. 

1392
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:51,360
The problem is, is his volume is
just drying up right now. 12 

1393
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:56,120
touches against Denver in week 
14, only 38 combo yards. 13 

1394
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,240
touches last week in Philly, 
only 42 combo yards. 

1395
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,680
And luckily four of those 
touches were catches which 

1396
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:06,240
helped him limp to 8.2 PPR 
points. 

1397
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:11,040
The Texans this week are at 
least as difficult as those 

1398
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:15,080
prior to opponents. 
My guess is that very few 

1399
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:18,960
fantasy teams with Genti are 
still in the playoffs, but if 

1400
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:22,200
you are, I'm leaving Ashton 
Genti on the bench this week. 

1401
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:25,160
The Texans have allowed the 
third fewest combo yards in the 

1402
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,040
league to opposing backs and 
it's just not the time for 

1403
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:32,840
Ashton Genti to shine this week.
And I hope I'm wrong on that one

1404
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,840
too, because I have Ashton Genti
and I might be forced to use him

1405
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,479
in a game this week. 
So Yikes. 

1406
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:42,800
Best of luck, Yeah. 
I'm down to an Ashton Genti or 

1407
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:49,399
Kamani Vidal or Taijae Spears 
thing and I it it, it it's 

1408
01:08:49,399 --> 01:08:54,640
pretty rough right there. 
All right on the Texan side, 

1409
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:57,080
Jawar Jordan was my roll the 
dice runner. 

1410
01:08:57,080 --> 01:09:01,000
Nick Chubb is in play if Woody 
Marks doesn't go by the way, for

1411
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,160
many of the same reasons. 
And I will mention Marks got in 

1412
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:06,640
a limited practice on that 
injured ankle on Friday. 

1413
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:09,840
So if he goes, he'll get first 
crack at the good grade and he'd

1414
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:13,760
be a silver. 
If Marx doesn't go, both Jordan 

1415
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:15,760
and Chubb would be bronze 
grades. 

1416
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:20,319
CJ Stroud looks like he's back 
to the two years ago CJ Stroud 

1417
01:09:20,319 --> 01:09:24,720
that everyone loved so much. 260
and three last week against 

1418
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:27,560
Arizona. 
But the big thing was he 

1419
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:31,600
completed 22 of his 29 passes, 
so he only had 7 incompletions. 

1420
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,080
The Raiders defense is open for 
business. 

1421
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,680
They allowed multiple scores to 
three of the last five 

1422
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:40,479
quarterbacks they've faced. 
More notably, teams are 

1423
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,279
completing every pass against 
the Raiders right now. 

1424
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:46,479
Justin Herbert only had five 
incomplete passes. 

1425
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:50,040
Nicks only had 7 incomplete 
passes on 38 attempts. 

1426
01:09:50,399 --> 01:09:52,960
Jalen Hurts only threw 15 passes
last week. 

1427
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:56,680
He completed 12 of them and 
three of those were touchdowns. 

1428
01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:02,800
So a silver grade for Stroud. 
Nico Collins, he gets a gold 

1429
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,600
grade. 
Underrated aspect of the Texans 

1430
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,600
6 game-winning streak is how 
consistent Nico has been. 20 or 

1431
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:11,880
more PPR points four times in 
those six games. 

1432
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:14,880
The two others, he caught all 
three of his targets for 55 

1433
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,760
yards against the Bills and had 
four catches for 121 yards 

1434
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:22,080
against the Chiefs. 19 different
wide receivers of it. 

1435
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,600
Double digit PPR points against 
the Raiders this year. 

1436
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,000
So an easy gold for Collins and 
Jaden Higgins. 

1437
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:29,960
I'm given a bronze grade 2 as 
well. 

1438
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,360
His snap share was 72% last 
week. 

1439
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,440
Nico had one more snap than 
Jaden Higgins. 

1440
01:10:37,440 --> 01:10:40,960
So the problem for Higgins, he 
only had one catch for four 

1441
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:44,200
yards last week and only three 
catches for 34 the week before. 

1442
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:47,640
But I'll take the opportunity. 
He's on the field a ton. 

1443
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:52,200
His backfield is iffy at best 
right now with some injuries and

1444
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:55,720
Chubb not being very good and a 
practice squad player may be 

1445
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,360
starting. 
It's a must win game for the 

1446
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:01,400
Texans to keep pace in the 
playoff race. 

1447
01:11:01,480 --> 01:11:04,440
It's at home, it's indoors and 
it's against a past defense 

1448
01:11:04,440 --> 01:11:07,120
that's bottom 10 in receptions, 
yards and touchdowns allowed to 

1449
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:10,040
opposing wide receivers. 
So Higgins is a bronze. 

1450
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:12,920
Don't play Dalton Schultz. 
The Raiders are actually good 

1451
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:15,440
against tight ends, top ten in 
every category. 

1452
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:19,360
Don't play Dalton Schultz. 
All right, one of my favorite 

1453
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,040
things of this week is the Yukon
Cornelius. 

1454
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:27,320
Game of the Week. 
Gold, gold and silver, silver 

1455
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:31,120
and gold. 
Wahoo, Trevor, it's the Steelers

1456
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:34,600
and Lions. 
This has got to be the highest 

1457
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:36,680
scoring game of the week that I 
would think. 

1458
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:38,640
You told us you like Aaron 
Rodgers. 

1459
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:42,800
What about his receivers? 
I'll give DK Metcalf a silver. 

1460
01:11:43,480 --> 01:11:45,440
As I mentioned with Rodgers 
earlier, the matchups elite. 

1461
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:48,160
Only one team has given up more 
wide receiver touchdown from the

1462
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,520
Lions 20, and no defense has 
given up more yards to the 

1463
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:53,080
position. 
DK leads the team with a 22 1/2 

1464
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:55,720
percent target share. 
Kind of a weird stat. 

1465
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:58,120
He's got exactly 5 catches in 
each of his other three games 

1466
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:01,400
against the NFC North, so maybe 
you just expect 5 catches on 

1467
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:02,600
Sunday. 
Ben's. 

1468
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:04,440
The rest of the receivers were 
not messing around there. 

1469
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:07,320
Jalen Warren and Kenny Gainwell.
I'm going to give the commercial

1470
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:10,480
bronze to both of them. 
Warren's been getting a majority

1471
01:12:10,480 --> 01:12:13,320
of the touches slightly, but 
Gainwell has 13 catches over his

1472
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:16,560
past two games and he actually 
out carried Jalen Warren 13 to 

1473
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:18,800
12 last week. 
Jalen Warren did come into the 

1474
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:20,920
game dealing with an illness, so
that could explain some of the 

1475
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,560
role change. 
It's a brutal match up to 

1476
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:27,000
Detroit's the second toughest 
match up for running backs. 

1477
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:29,680
They've not allowed a catch 
receiving touchdowns to a 

1478
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:32,160
running back all year and their 
top ten in touch, his yards in 

1479
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:33,920
total touchdowns given up to the
position. 

1480
01:12:34,440 --> 01:12:37,600
But if both guys are in the mix 
for 12 to 13 touches plus a high

1481
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:39,240
game total that keeps both of 
them in play. 

1482
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:42,600
The tight ends, Stila tight end 
hasn't scored or had four 

1483
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:44,400
catches in the game since 
November 23rd. 

1484
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,000
Keep them on the bench. 
And then on the other side, we 

1485
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,760
get to the Yukon Cornelius 
Silvers and goals. 

1486
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:53,240
Jared Goff starts with a silver.
It's the highest total game on 

1487
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:55,920
the slate opened at 45 1/2. 
It's now up to 52. 

1488
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,960
So people love the over. 
Detroit's had four home games 

1489
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:02,320
since the buy the total game, 
total total game totals. 

1490
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:07,480
The game totals in those are as 
follows, 516155 and 74. 

1491
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:11,160
Detroit's defense is fading, so 
Pittsburgh should be able to 

1492
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:12,680
keep pace a little bit. 
You get a Dome spot. 

1493
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:15,280
The Steelers allow the most 
completions in the fourth most 

1494
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,320
yards to quarterbacks. 
Jamir Gibbs, he's a beast. 

1495
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:21,120
Play him last two home games. 
He has 6 touchdowns, nearly 23 

1496
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,000
touches a game. 
Pittsburgh's a good match up. 

1497
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:25,720
Jamie Montgomery, I will give a 
commercial bronze too. 

1498
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,480
He does have a touchdown in 
three straight, but 8 or less 

1499
01:13:28,480 --> 01:13:31,160
touches in four to five. 
You're mostly betting on a score

1500
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:32,520
here. 
Pittsburgh's only allowed six 

1501
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,320
running back touchdowns of any 
kind this season. 

1502
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:37,480
So it's it's a way to kind of 
get access to this high scoring 

1503
01:13:37,480 --> 01:13:38,680
game. 
But I'm not thrilled about it. 

1504
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:41,680
Amon, Ron Jameson, I'm giving 
platinum and golds to. 

1505
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:45,080
Dan Campbell took over the Lions
play calling in the Washington 

1506
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:48,120
game in Week 10, in part because
he was upset at how Jameson 

1507
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:50,120
Williams was being used. 
Well. 

1508
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:51,360
Since then, Jamo's been on a 
heater. 

1509
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,440
He's got 4 touchdowns in those 
six games and at least 88 yards 

1510
01:13:54,440 --> 01:13:57,160
and five of the six. 
Excellent match up as well. 

1511
01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:59,720
Pittsburgh's allowed the second 
most catches and 7th most yards 

1512
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:01,880
to enemy receivers. 
Amon Raz right up there with 

1513
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:03,200
Chase as the top. 
Chase. 

1514
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:04,520
Jamar Chase as the top play of 
the week. 

1515
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,160
Pittsburgh's tight end defense 
is horrible, but the top 2 tight

1516
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:09,240
ends on the Lion's roster have 
two catches combined this 

1517
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:11,080
season, so I'm not going to go 
there. 

1518
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:15,240
Yeah, probably not, but fire up 
those Lions for sure. 

1519
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:21,280
All right, Kent, your final 
match up of the week is a doozy.

1520
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:24,200
It's the Sunday nighter. 
The Ravens shut out Joe Burrow 

1521
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:27,240
and Jamar Chase last week. 
Can they do the same to Drake 

1522
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:32,080
May? 
I no, definitely not, but I do 

1523
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:35,040
think that Drake May is in a 
good opportunity here. 

1524
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:38,720
I just saw recently they 
announced that Kyle Hamilton was

1525
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:42,840
downgraded to questionable and 
then Jidobi woozy is going to be

1526
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:44,360
a doubtful for this game as 
well. 

1527
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:47,280
So there's some injuries going 
on in the secondary for 

1528
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:49,960
Baltimore right now. 
Drake May, I got a silver grade 

1529
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:51,880
on him. 
I was considering bumping that 

1530
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:53,840
up to the gold with his news, 
but I don't think I'm quite 

1531
01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:55,880
there. 
He's been reliable, but kind of 

1532
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:58,400
consistently in that 20 to 24 
point range. 

1533
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:00,840
He's got eight games with 20 
plus fantasy points of the year,

1534
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:03,920
which is tied for 2nd. 
And despite last week where he 

1535
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,600
had 155 yards and no touchdowns 
and an interception, he did have

1536
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:10,240
two rushing touchdowns, which is
good for that every once in a 

1537
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,440
while. 
So he he likes to use his legs 

1538
01:15:12,440 --> 01:15:15,080
quite a bit. 
He's really trustworthy against 

1539
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:16,960
his Baltimore team. 
It should be a really fun game, 

1540
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:18,480
but we're just going to leave 
him a silver grade. 

1541
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:21,760
Travion Henderson, I know you 
said you liked him earlier, but 

1542
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:24,360
I'm going to only put a bronze 
grain on him this week. 

1543
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:27,960
He was shot out of a cannon 
twice last game, 14 attempts for

1544
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:31,960
184 yards and two touchdowns, 
but the touchdowns were 52 yards

1545
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,160
and 65 yards. 
Little back of the napkin math 

1546
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:36,680
leaves twelve other attempts for
31 yards. 

1547
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:40,200
So if he's not getting those 
explosive rushing plays, we're a

1548
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:41,560
little bit in the woods with 
him. 

1549
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:45,080
The Baltimore Ravens allow the 
fewest explosive rushing plays 

1550
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:48,120
in the last month. 
Just 1% of rushes go for more 

1551
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,600
than 10 yards. 
So it's a little bit of. 

1552
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:52,680
A got the right answer in that 
question. 

1553
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:56,680
Come on. 
Well, I'm sticking to my guns 

1554
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:58,920
here. 
And then Ramande Stevenson, he's

1555
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:00,720
got a bench grade. 
He's taking the backseat to 

1556
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:02,240
Henderson. 
Just six attempts and three 

1557
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:05,120
targets last game. 
So you're not really going to 

1558
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:08,400
trust him there. 
Wide receivers, somehow I have 

1559
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:11,560
to bench all three despite 
saying Drake May's a silver. 

1560
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:14,760
You know, Stephon Diggs, four 
few targets in the last three 

1561
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:17,200
games. 
Keishon Booty, he had one target

1562
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:19,280
last game. 
He's a big play guy, but he has 

1563
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:21,880
zero volume to his name. 
It's just like you trust him or 

1564
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:23,920
do you trust him to get a 
touchdown or not and that's 

1565
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:26,080
basically it. 
And then Matt Collins coming off

1566
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:28,040
8 targets, but he's impossible 
to trust. 

1567
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:29,560
I feel like we've seen this a 
few times with him. 

1568
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:33,480
He always pulls a Kaiser Soze at
the end, disappears into the 

1569
01:16:33,480 --> 01:16:35,200
wind like he was never there to 
begin with. 

1570
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:37,880
So you can't trust any of these 
guys this week. 

1571
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,000
Someone will have a good game. 
We just don't know who. 

1572
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:43,320
And then Hunter Henry, if 
weirdly enough, I'm also going 

1573
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:46,800
to give a bench to only one 
tight end, has gone for more 

1574
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:49,600
than 50 yards against Baltimore 
all season long, and that's 

1575
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:52,120
including when they were very 
injured earlier in the year, 

1576
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:53,920
too. 
They've allowed just two 

1577
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,320
touchdowns to tight ends all 
season, so it's just not a good 

1578
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,360
spot for him either. 
That's probably the biggest 

1579
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:00,720
reason I wasn't able to get 
Drake May up to a goal because I

1580
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:02,880
don't think any of the receivers
or tight ends are in a very good

1581
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,920
spot here. 
Over on the Baltimore side of 

1582
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:09,240
things, Lamar Jackson, man, 
something seems broken with him.

1583
01:17:09,480 --> 01:17:12,560
Bronze grade. 
He went eight for 12 for 150 

1584
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,840
yards, 2 touchdowns and an 
interception last week against 

1585
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,600
the Bengals. 
So that seems so much worse when

1586
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:20,920
you say it that way. 
It would be an OK stat line 

1587
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:24,040
against a a good defense, but 
the Bengals he should be just 

1588
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:26,480
trouncing them and was not able 
to get anything going. 

1589
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:29,280
It was his first two plus 
passing touchdown game since 

1590
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:33,000
week 9 as well and he's only had
one game with 50 or more rushing

1591
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,400
yards all season. 
Last year he had 9. 

1592
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:38,360
So we're really just seeing a 
whole different ball game from 

1593
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:41,480
Lamar this year. 
This Patriots defense in the 

1594
01:17:41,480 --> 01:17:45,520
last month hasn't allowed 200 
plus yards passing and only Josh

1595
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:46,960
Allen threw for two or more 
touchdowns. 

1596
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:49,520
So it's just not a good spot for
Lamar Jackson. 

1597
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:52,120
If you got him, you probably 
have to start him, but don't 

1598
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:55,320
don't feel great about it. 
Derrick Henry, I got a bronze 

1599
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:57,120
grade on him. 
He's starting to look his age, I

1600
01:17:57,120 --> 01:17:58,960
think a little bit more every 
single week. 

1601
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:01,600
But he does have three straight 
games with 100 scrimmage yards. 

1602
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:03,520
So it's hard to really be too 
mad about that. 

1603
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,760
The New England Patriots have 
allowed the third fewest fantasy

1604
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:09,640
points to running backs this 
season, but in the last month it

1605
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:12,200
has been their highest stretch 
of yards per carry allowed all 

1606
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:14,600
season where they're allowing 5 
yards per carry. 

1607
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:17,160
So it's been a little bit 
lighter compared to previous 

1608
01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:19,520
weeks with them. 
And the only two times they've 

1609
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:23,360
allowed 100 plus yards to a 
opposing running back was in 

1610
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:24,920
that time stretch too in the 
last four weeks. 

1611
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,880
So it's an OK spot for Henry. 
You're probably starting them 

1612
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:29,600
again, but you don't feel great 
about it. 

1613
01:18:30,480 --> 01:18:32,600
Jose Flowers, I'll give him a 
bronze. 

1614
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:35,480
In his last two games, he's at 
16 total targets, 11 receptions 

1615
01:18:35,480 --> 01:18:38,200
for 192 yards, one touchdown. 
It's all good stuff. 

1616
01:18:38,480 --> 01:18:40,920
He'll probably see quite a bit 
of Christian Gonzalez in 

1617
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:43,640
coverage, though. 
Not necessarily a shadow, but 

1618
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:46,520
it's just kind of a tough look 
to go against Gonzalez. 

1619
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:48,000
He's one of the best 
quarterbacks out there right 

1620
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:50,320
now. 
Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, 

1621
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:52,640
they're about dead to me. 
As I discussed earlier, they 

1622
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,520
blew it last week against the 
Bengals, likely had a goose egg 

1623
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:58,040
and just two weeks prior they 
both had really good games 

1624
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:00,680
against the Bengals. 
So you know, I'm kind of 

1625
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:05,000
surprised that you know, they're
they're so defeated this last 

1626
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,680
week compared to weeks prior. 
But you can't trust either of 

1627
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:09,800
them right now either. 
You you got to find a better 

1628
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:12,080
streaming option than them. 
Yeah. 

1629
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:17,000
That, that was maybe the most 
disappointing call I've had all 

1630
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:18,120
year. 
Absolutely. 

1631
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:22,400
Yeah, it cost me a a trip to the
semifinals in Scott Fishbowl. 

1632
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:24,320
That's so sad. 
Yep, I'm. 

1633
01:19:24,440 --> 01:19:27,120
Sorry if it was me that gave you
that advice, I'm so sad. 

1634
01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:30,200
I hope he. 
Was not as, as you know, I was 

1635
01:19:30,440 --> 01:19:35,040
quite busy last week, yeah. 
All right, final match up of the

1636
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:39,320
day is the Monday nighter and 
Brock Purdy is back 295 and 

1637
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:42,840
three last week with 44 rushing 
yards too. 

1638
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:44,680
It looks like he's finally 
healthy. 

1639
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,400
The Colts this week are an 
interesting match up. 

1640
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:52,320
They are allowing the third most
passing yards in the league at 

1641
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:55,320
264 per game. 
They haven't allowed many 

1642
01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:58,440
passing touchdowns though. 
They've only given up two 

1643
01:19:58,440 --> 01:20:03,080
passing touchdowns in the last 
four games and the quarterbacks 

1644
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:07,480
against were Mahomes, Stroud, 
Lawrence, and Darnold. 

1645
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:10,040
Some pretty good quarterbacks in
there. 

1646
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:13,720
Silver grade here for Purdy on 
the yardage for sure. 

1647
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,760
Let's see if he can toss a few 
in the end zone though, and if 

1648
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:19,000
he's going to do that, he's 
going to probably throw 1 to 

1649
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:21,680
Jawan Jennings. 
He's been his favorite end zone 

1650
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:25,760
target in his last six games. 6 
touchdowns, including two last 

1651
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:28,040
week. 
I mentioned in Roll the Dice 

1652
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:30,320
that two of the Colts starting 
corners are already out this 

1653
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:32,040
week. 
That sets up nicely for 

1654
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:33,800
Jennings. 
So a silver grade on him. 

1655
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:36,120
And then we get to this part of 
the match up. 

1656
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:40,480
I love gold. 
There's so much gold happening 

1657
01:20:40,480 --> 01:20:42,200
here. 
Like George Kittle gets a gold 

1658
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:46,000
grade Like his helmet. 
Since week 10, he's got five 

1659
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:52,040
games over 10 PPR points. 
In only five games, he's got 

1660
01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:57,120
three of those games over 22 PPR
points and 0 games under 10 

1661
01:20:57,440 --> 01:21:00,600
Indies, allowing the eighth most
receptions and 5th most yards to

1662
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:03,800
tight ends this year. 
Super nice day for George Kittle

1663
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:07,080
incoming, but the marquee 
matchup of this game and I'm 

1664
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:11,080
gonna lump these two together in
a rare in a rare occurrence on 

1665
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:14,440
fantasy Friday, I'm gonna put 
Christian McCaffrey and Jonathan

1666
01:21:14,440 --> 01:21:17,640
Taylor into the matchup together
because it's basically the 

1667
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:19,640
number one and #2 running backs 
in the league. 

1668
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:21,080
They're facing off against each 
other. 

1669
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:23,760
They're obviously both in your 
starting lineups with gold 

1670
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:25,480
grades that's. 
Gold. 

1671
01:21:27,480 --> 01:21:30,120
Jerry McCaffrey has the tougher 
of the two matchups. 

1672
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:33,800
Worth noting, the Niners have 
allowed the second most 

1673
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:37,000
receptions in the league so far 
this year, so I think Jonathan 

1674
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:39,640
Taylor might be in play for a 
big receiving game, too. 

1675
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:43,520
Or Amir Abdullah, who randomly 
had five receptions last week. 

1676
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:48,520
If you're starting Phillip 
Rivers in 2025 in a playoff 

1677
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:50,960
matchup, you're crazy. 
But I like you, but you're 

1678
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:54,120
crazy. 
The match up is decent. 

1679
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:58,280
The Niners allow 236 yards and 
almost 2 touchdown passes per 

1680
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,800
game. 
They've only picked off 5 passes

1681
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:03,040
all year, which bodes well for 
Rivers. 

1682
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:05,840
But I'm not going to lie, it 
didn't look like Rivers could 

1683
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:09,320
get the ball maybe more than 20 
yards downfield last week, which

1684
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:12,760
is why Amir Abdullah was his top
receiver with five receptions. 

1685
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:17,080
I'm leaving Rivers on the bench.
I'm barely extending starting 

1686
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:18,840
grades to only two of his 
receivers. 

1687
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:22,480
Tyler Warren is 1. 
He gets a bronze led the team in

1688
01:22:22,480 --> 01:22:26,600
targets last week with six his. 
His matchup is the best amongst 

1689
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:28,280
the receivers. 
The Niners have allowed the 

1690
01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:32,200
fifth most touchdowns to the 
tight end position this year and

1691
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:35,440
includes A touchdown to Harold 
Fannon and a touchdown to Gunnar

1692
01:22:35,440 --> 01:22:40,000
Helm in the last two weeks. 
Michael Pittman gets the other 

1693
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:42,440
bronze grade and I don't even 
really like it that much. 

1694
01:22:42,440 --> 01:22:45,120
He had five targets last week, 1
fewer than Warren. 

1695
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:48,800
His matchup is pretty good 
against Diamador Lenore, who is 

1696
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:53,000
definitely not a person I 
made-up, and Lenore has allowed 

1697
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,760
five touchdowns in his coverage 
this year. 

1698
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:59,440
For what it's worth, I like Josh
Downs from the slot much better 

1699
01:22:59,440 --> 01:23:02,400
than Alec Pierce, but I think 
I'm going to leave both of them 

1700
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:04,640
on the bench. 
Downs did get the touchdown pass

1701
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:08,880
from Rivers last week and the 
slots definitely a better spot, 

1702
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:11,480
but you definitely can't play 
Alec Pierce. 

1703
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:15,280
If you needed to twist my arm 
into a Josh Downs bronze, I 

1704
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:17,680
think I could maybe get there, 
but I don't really like it all 

1705
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:20,520
that much. 
All right, before we hit 

1706
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:25,880
lightning Round, I wanted to 
quickly go over a big Christmas 

1707
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:29,320
Day contest that's coming up on 
our partner site, the National 

1708
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,920
Fantasy Football Championship. 
And oh look, it's Maj. 

1709
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:35,000
The National Fantasy Football 
and Basketball Championships 

1710
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:37,760
have a huge holiday bonus on the
line this Christmas Day. 

1711
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:42,760
The NFL Christmas Day Bonanza

1712
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:46,400
bucks to 1st and the NBA 
Christmas Day Jam has over 8000 

1713
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:50,040

Both contests $100.

All right, to end the show, this

1716
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:08,640
is what we call lightning round.
Oh, hey, speed. 

1717
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:14,240
I am speed. 
That's right, all right to be. 

1718
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:17,240
If you'd like to be featured on 
Lightning Round, find my Twitter

1719
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:20,160
handle at Explosive Output. 
Each week I'll put up a 

1720
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:22,200
Lightning Round thread. 
We'll pick a few, and we'll 

1721
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:25,480
answer them rapid fire. 
And remember, it's a decision 

1722
01:24:25,480 --> 01:24:27,600
between two players and two 
players only. 

1723
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:31,520
If you include three players, we
hang up and listen to you cry. 

1724
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:34,800
All right, Kent and Trevor, are 
you guys ready for Lightning 

1725
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:35,800
Round? 
Yeah, get. 

1726
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:37,760
It all right, here we go. 
Trevor. 

1727
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:42,480
Rashi Rice if he goes, or a 
Mecca Egbuka. 

1728
01:24:42,480 --> 01:24:44,680
And that's from our friend Woody
Show. 

1729
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:48,200
Yeah, Woody, I'm going Rice if 
he plays. 

1730
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:50,960
Egbuka has a top 11 PPR points 
since week 10 and like you said,

1731
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:52,480
all three of the pass catchers 
are healthy now. 

1732
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:57,800
All right, Kent, Ryan Schwartz 
wants to know either Kyle Pitts 

1733
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:01,800
or Brock Bowers in guillotine. 
Can't believe I'm saying this, 

1734
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,920
but Kyle Pitts, even with Drake 
back, I think it's a good 

1735
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:08,200
opportunity for the Falcons and 
the the Houston defense. 

1736
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,280
You don't want to deal with 
that, and that's who Bowers has 

1737
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:13,960
to go against. 
All right, Trevor, Bucky Irving 

1738
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,960
or Trayvion Henderson. 
That's for Mark Giannini. 

1739
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:19,840
Yeah, I'm going with Bucky. 
He gets a slight nod. 

1740
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:23,800
He has a little bit better match
up than Trayvon Henderson does 

1741
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:26,480
this week. 
All right, Kent, can you help 

1742
01:25:26,480 --> 01:25:31,680
out Jerry Goldfarb here? 
Would you go with Debo Samuel or

1743
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:35,200
DK Metcalf? 
DK Metcalf because I at least 

1744
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:37,080
can hope that he gets a house 
call at some point. 

1745
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:39,840
Debo Samuel looks cooked man, 
and with the Marcus Mariota 

1746
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:43,640
offense, I'm not interested. 
All right, Trevor, Daryl Hancock

1747
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:46,840
wants to know Tyler Shuck or 
Bryce Young. 

1748
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:50,000
Shout out to Daryl by the way 
for having both of these 

1749
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:52,360
quarterbacks in his semi Final 
Fantasy matchup. 

1750
01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:54,800
What a legend. 
I'll go Shuck against a middling

1751
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,040
Jets past defense that Trevor 
Lawrence just let up for a 

1752
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,360
career day. 
I I think he went zero 

1753
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:01,360
quarterback for sure he. 
Must. 

1754
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:05,000
Trevor, I'm going to stay with 
you on this one because I got 

1755
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:09,160
another Tyler Shuck one. 
EJB wants to know Shuck or JJ 

1756
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:11,960
McCarthy. 
I'm going to stick with Shuck 

1757
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:14,120
here. 
No Devin, Devin, Neil or Camara 

1758
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:15,400
should set up a pass first 
approach. 

1759
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:17,320
Although I do like McCarthy too,
I don't really think he could go

1760
01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:19,440
wrong either way there. 
Interesting. 

1761
01:26:19,440 --> 01:26:21,440
I thought you were going to go 
McCarthy for sure. 

1762
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:24,240
Wow. 
Yeah, the the Darasaw things 

1763
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:26,720
makes me a little nervous. 
OK, can't. 

1764
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:28,920
Let's hit you with a few 
quarterback ones, and I got a 

1765
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:32,200
McCarthy one for you too. 
Tim Matfield wants to know JJ 

1766
01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:36,520
McCarthy or Brock Purdy. 
Brock Purdy, you know, still no 

1767
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:38,640
sauce for the Colts, who Purdy's
going up against. 

1768
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:40,400
And then GJ McCarthy. 
That's just scary. 

1769
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:43,120
Downside in the semifinals, man,
I I think he's an OK streamer, 

1770
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:44,720
but Purdy's a better 
quarterback. 

1771
01:26:45,440 --> 01:26:47,200
OK. 
Well, I'm going to stick with 

1772
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:50,120
you for a couple more, Kent, 
because now we got Brock Purdy 

1773
01:26:50,440 --> 01:26:53,200
versus Jacoby Brissett. 
That's for David Glenn. 

1774
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:56,080
Yeah, this one was tougher. 
I I am going to stick with 

1775
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:57,760
Purdy. 
Brissett has three straight 

1776
01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:00,000
games with an interception, and 
then Purdy seems to have gotten 

1777
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:02,680
his interception issues under 
control and I think Ricky 

1778
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:05,640
Pearsall does play, so that 
seems to be an uplift for him as

1779
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:07,960
well. 
OK Kent, I'm going to do one 

1780
01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:09,920
more because I got another 
Brissette in here. 

1781
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:14,000
We got Josh Laurent who does the
fantasy football report card for

1782
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:16,360
us. 
He wants to know Jacoby 

1783
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:20,400
Brissette or Dak Prescott and 
this is a 5 point passing 

1784
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:23,040
touchdown league. 
Oh, I did not know that part. 

1785
01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:24,200
I don't think it really matters 
much. 

1786
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:25,840
I will go with Jacoby Brissette 
here. 

1787
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:28,440
It's a tough match up for Dak 
going against the Los Angeles 

1788
01:27:28,440 --> 01:27:30,520
Chargers defense. 
It's been very stout against the

1789
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:33,120
passing. 
And then Brissette has higher 

1790
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:35,520
upside, arguably with Marvin 
Harrison Junior back of the 

1791
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:38,800
game. 
All right, Trevor James Cook or 

1792
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:42,080
Saquon in guillotine, and this 
is for Aaron Johnson. 

1793
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:43,680
Yeah, I'll give. 
I'll go. 

1794
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:45,880
James Cook. 
I like the 10 point favorite 

1795
01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:49,840
home spot over Cleveland better 
than Saquon against Washington. 

1796
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:52,160
They're on a on the road, Trevor
come. 

1797
01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:53,800
On Sorry, I still like Cook 
better. 

1798
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:56,880
It it they're on the same lake, 
but they're on the road. 

1799
01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:59,880
That's true. 
That's true. 

1800
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:02,160
Weird that they're on the same 
lake, all right. 

1801
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:05,960
Kent Quinchon Judkins or Omarion
Hampton. 

1802
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:09,320
And this is for Jason Hansen. 
Yeah, this was a little scarier 

1803
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,120
with the split with Vidal and 
Hampton, but I will go with 

1804
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:14,520
Omarion Hampton here. 
Judkins has really struggled to 

1805
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:16,280
get it going. 
Low yardage numbers the last 

1806
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:19,800
couple weeks and defense, 
they've been better lately, but 

1807
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:23,120
still somewhat exploitable. 
At least Hampton has been better

1808
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:26,280
than Vidal despite the split, so
I think he gets going a little 

1809
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,680
bit more. 
All right, and Trevor, this is 

1810
01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:32,240
the last one of Lightning Round 
and there's a little story 

1811
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:35,720
behind this one. 
This is for Joe Thompson, who is

1812
01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:39,920
playing his wife Tina in his 
fantasy semifinals this week. 

1813
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:44,000
So this is the most important 
question you may ever hear on 

1814
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:46,480
Lightning Round. 
He's got to beat his wife in 

1815
01:28:46,480 --> 01:28:51,000
fantasy in the in the flex. 
I I did mention in fantasy, yes.

1816
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:52,880
He did? 
Yep. 

1817
01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:59,080
In the flex in APPR league is a 
quinch on Judkins or is it Terry

1818
01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:01,720
Mclaurin? 
Yeah, this is for sure the most 

1819
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:04,600
pressure I'll ever have on a 
lightning round question. 

1820
01:29:05,200 --> 01:29:07,200
So hopefully we'll get you 
there, man. 

1821
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:09,560
I'll go with Quinch on Judkins 
against the Bills run defense 

1822
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:11,840
that's allowed to lead worst 18
