A Little For A Lot

little rusty. Yeah, Oh my god, button got you a couple of weeks. That's it has been a couple of weeks. I hope you enjoyed the time away from the show. Full our listeners didn't take time away from the show, because we're gonna break down every game fantasy style. We'll give you a letter grade on every player, which we do, and we also give you our rationale for reach grade, so you can decide if you're on board or not

with ourt thinking. And then a few minutes from now, we'll give you nine eyes upon whom you can take a chance. These are players that are often on the waiver wire, Guys you would not normally start, but you can this week. Later on, we'll answer three tough questions. And last week I said it was gonna be the last week of premature speculation because the bye weeks were over and we're gonna need all the time we could get.

But I forgot we had the Thanksgiving games. So now with the extra time afforded to us, with three games over, premature speculation is back. Oh yeah, you quickly figure. Yes, a bit of a dynasty twist to it too, though, right, well necessarily if you if you that's the way you want to go with it, you could, but that's sound. I'll leave that up to you. Okay, well that's how I interpreted the homework, but we'll get to that later. Yeah,

we will get to that later. We will start, however, with oh, let me mention this maybe as the as before we dive right into matchups in Cleveland. Pittsburgh's coming up first. Adam Feeland's status is going to go. It appears it's going to be unknown going into the Monday night game. The advice that I have is make another plan. One of those viable plans can be to d it out all the way to Monday night and pick up

Josh Gordon the Vikings have given up. They rant and wide receiver touchdowns allowed twenty third and wide receiver yardage allowed. Josh Gordon generally available in leagues. She could pick up Josh Gordon now uh and have him ready to swap in for Adam theland But overall, broadly, I think you need to have a backup plan ready to go theland owners, and at this point you probably do because it's been five weeks of this nonsense. Get well soon. Let's dive

into the matchups. Cleveland taking on Pittsburgh Scott. Even with Kareem Hunt getting a lot of work in this offense, Nick Chubb has remained very vital. He's getting plenty of carries, in fact, averaging twenty three carries in the games with with Kareem Hunt, how do you like him in this matchup against Pittsburgh? I still like chubbing this matchup. As you mentioned, Kareem Hunt is is getting them all attended. Twelve touches a game, Nick Chubb twenty two to twenty

seven touches a game. They're just feeding their running back right now and it's making it's making the offense run smoother than than put in Mayfield's hands the whole time. Chubb has twenty plus touches in all but one game this year and is averaging a hundred twenty five total yards in those games. I still have an A grade on him. I don't blame me. I have a C grade on Hunt though, because he's getting that receiving work.

He's averaging five catches per game in those three in the three games, he's played forty five to seventy seven yards in all three and he's had ton touches in each game. So he's viable in this as a C grade. That's exactly what we told you you were gonna get out of Kareem Hunt and he was coming back. We're like, look, you're gonna get four, five, six, seven ish catches, and you're gonna get yards, and you're gonna he's gonna give you a chance of touchdowns. We also thought the Browns

would be like eight and three. At least the fantasy side is working out for that, okay, So in the passing game, Baker Mayfield is gonna be for me. Pittsburgh has been stingy, holding six of the last eight eight quarterbacks they faced under two hundred yards and wrecking up eleven interceptions on those, but Mayfield has seemed to turn the corner with eight total touchdowns in the last few weeks,

and he managed three touchdowns just despite lowyard. It's just two weeks ago against the same Steelers team and he gets David Njoku back. The offenses look better since then, So I'm giving Mayfield a soft B. That's what we call it. Okay, b uh Landry, who is the alpha in this receiving corps, gets an A grade for me. He's completely overtaken OH b J as the lead dog

in this pound I guess dog pound here. Over his last four games, he's averaging over seven catches per game and scored five times, including at least one touchdown in all four games. For the last four OH b J B grade he had ten targets and I'm gonna air quote that for radio because if you watch that game against the Steelers that he had ten targets, Mayfield was

not close to him on half of them. So if Mayfield can get him on target, uh his targets on targeted, his targets on target, O b J could have a better day. And remember he was tackled at the one on one as well. He almost scored. So uh he's top fifty yards in sixth straight and averages five catches per game in those. Uh, he's safer each week than people give him credit for because we expect these huge blow up games. But he is getting you, you know, five for fifty or so. It's not great. Nobody took

ode Odell Beckham hoping for five, I know. But when we're talking about starting him against the Steelers in week thirteen here, you can expect the five for fifty hope for a little more. I'm giving him a B grade there. And Joeku in his first game back, I'm still sitting

on the bench, just just for now. He has three catches in all but one game under with Mayfield under center, but this is his first week back, and the Browns had barely targeted the tight end at all this year, maybe because Ninjo who has been out, but outside of a two touchdown Will Disley game and a and a big Hunter Henry game, the Steelers have basically shut own head ends all year. On the other side, I think Invention the almost the entire team against the Browns with

Duck Hodges at quarterback. Uh, Juju is gonna be out. He's likely somewhere. Yeah, I like Duck Hodges, but not in this matchup. Juju is gonna be out, which is bad for the whole off. Is that the revenge duck for Joe Hayden? Well wait wait it is. It is the Duck Hodges sounded Now you just heard the Duck Hodges version. This is the revenge duck version. He's a faster um It's it's technically exactly the same. It's really it's just a context. You know, the listeners and Captain

Cipher this themselves. But you know, we needed a sounder for revenge when there's a revenge matchup, like when Jarvis Landry plays the Dolphins or whatever. Right, so we need But what's the sound of revenge? It's something like that. Maybe maybe I don't know. That's from a movie. I got that. The only I've only have here's the the only other thing I have on the button bar. Is this that's not revenge. It reminds me a die hard and there's some revenge aspects and dying. It was a

lot of revenge. It's way better than a duck. I'm just gonna throw it. I kind of like the revenge dot revenge. You control the board. So boy, well, I do have Mason Hodges on the bench. It is a benefit that he's not Mason Rudolph. I mean that's a good side, but the bad side is the Steelers are top ten. It gets quarterbacks in almost every category, especially

over the last five weeks. Uh do do Obviously on the bench, he's likely somewhere driving a hundred four miles with the concussion while using his film, different film to film it. Uh. James Washington is the only one I might consider, but I'm still not because he went duck hunting with Duck Hodges. Do you see that? That's amazing? Yeah, that's there's a connection there. I didn't know that Duck Hodges got his name because he was a duck hunter until this week National duck Caller. I had no idea.

I just thought it was just some quirky name him that people you know, national champion duck color. I had no Does he take him down with footballs? That would be impressive, that would be that would be really impressive. Yeah, there's the really left in this matchup. We've got to be done. No, well, like twenty eight minutes into this right now, but we talked about revenge ducks for eight of them. So I would have given Benny Snell a S grade if James James Conner didn't decide to start

to get healthy and want to get in. So maybe he gets the C grade if he goes. I think he does. I think Benny Snell is actually pretty good play this week, Yeah, I I do. If James Conner stays out, he's not playing. James Connor is not playing, and even if he does, he's doubtful. Even if he does play, start how many plays does he get? Six? Don't get him started with James Conner fish he's going

to be a Ram. Yeah. It probably a lot of hatred, but understandably l a the Rams take on the Arizona Cardinals. Now for the Rams side, the entire passing game is a complete disaster. Behind Jared Goff a tree. Tip of the hat. Tip of the hat to our frequent co host Matt Harrison, who pegged this thing in the preseason and has been riding out his advice all season on avoiding basically all parts of the Ram passing game. He saw this coming in a way that nobody else did

that I know. Of What do you think about this opportunity against Arizona. All right, I was gonna start with Todd Gurley, but we'll start with the passing game. And Cooper Cup gonna give him a B. And of course every one of these receivers is yes, Jared Goff is his quarterback. You know that's the asterisk in all this. But Arizona has allowed eleven touchdowns. Slot receivers Tyler Boyd and Danny Amndla alone combined for seventeen catches, two seven

yards and two touchdowns. I'm still giving Cooper Cup a B despite Jared Goff. Just insert by the way, despite Jared Goff after each one of these receivers eleven. Most NFL teams haven't given up eleven wide receivers touchdowns period. The Cardinals have given up a love into the slot receiver almost as many tight end touchdowns that they We'll get to that in a second. Um Robert Woods again, despite Jared Goff, I'm gonna give him a see a

good candidate to see more targets. If Gerald Everett can't play, We'll talk about that in a second. And Arizona has allowed a league high twenty nine passing touchdowns, shockingly less than half of gone to wide receivers. But Byron Murphy and Patrick Peterson aren't much of a concern sad that Pat Pete isn't these days, so I'm still gonna give the Woods to see um. But what is the concern is Jared Goff yet again. And that's why Brandon Cooks is on the bench because he's the deep ball guy.

And Goff's completion percentage on passes of twenty yards or more is under thirty percent. It's like it's like twelve or forty. It's something incredibly awful. So I got Cooks on the bench way to boom or bust and Gerald Everett. Here's the analysis if you don't know, the most catches allowed to tight ends, the most yards, the most touchdowns. So that's what the Cardinals have surrender to opposing tight ends. But he's been very limited. Uh, he was limited on Friday,

has not practiced all. Well, you gotta add Higby. I think in almost any league, just because you might, Higby would be more enticing TV top ten tight ends. So if they rule out ever, if they rule out Evert on Sunday, this is a late afternoon game, we should say we're mentioning early in the show. But it's a four o'clock Eastern start. Yes, So if they rule out Everett, where would you rank Higby? See top five. He's not Kelsey and I think he's a tight end one in

that he's a top twelve option. I don't see how he's not like that. That's pretty pretty impressive for a Tyler Higby. But anyway, Jared Goff, though still on the bench, we won't get into that. And Todd Gurley, I didn't give him an a in this one. Thirty one touches over the last two weeks, practically a bell cow again.

The Cardinals are top twelve and rushing yards allowed to running backs, and over the last four games, Arizona is allowing ten catches and eighty yards per game through the air to running backs with top girl is and anymore this year. He finally was getting targeted in the passing game last year. But yeah, last week last week, sorry, um, but help that they were down by a billion early. This is this is probably the girly game of all girly games. Is gonna be this game, even though he's

kind of been hot lately. Anyway, over to the Arizona side, who also has been hot as Kyler Murray uh total five touchdowns across two recent meetings with the forty niners and uh so Kylin Roe's getting drafted what six rounds before Lamar Jackson in the pre season, so we won't talk about that. But I think Lamar laid out a pretty nice blueprint globile quarterback in shred the Rams. So I think just a B from Murray though, because I'm not in love with the past catchers Christian Kirk just

to see when healthy. Kirk has commanded percent of the Cardinals target share, but over the last two weeks he's run eight five percent of his routes from the boundaries,

not the slot. Only interesting the st He'll still see a ton of Jalen Ramsey, who isn't as shut down as he has been, but still Ramsey has not allowed a touchdown in his coverage this season, and Larry Fitzgerald I have on the bench held under fifty yards and six of his last eight games draws a tough match matchup in Nickel Roby Coleman, who only allowed one touchdown this season, and that was to Chris Godwin in Week four.

So I got old fits on the bench unfortunately, and Kenyan Drake, the only running back worth talking about on this team, has averaged over five yards per carrys since the trade to Arizona. The Rams are good against the run. They've only allowed three running backs to top a hundred rushing yards on the year, Christian McCaffrey in week one, Chris Carson in Week five, and mark Ingram last week.

But the one correlation is all those running backs have very mobile quarterbacks like Kenyan has with Kyler Murray, McCaffrey had Cam Newton in week one, not not Kyle Allen. And the Rams have also conceded at least five catches and or a receiving touchdown to running backs in fourth straight. So I got a b on Kenyan Drake. Alright, Sorry that was very long, and I know in fact, you know what, Let's say we normally do three matchups here, We're gonna take a break instead, we'll we'll push San

Francisco Baltimore into our next segment. San Francisco Baltimore is a signature matchup with all kinds of intrigue into that game. And we'll talk about that when when we come back for our next segment in the meantime everything charge. That's me. It's available at fanball dot com.

Fantasy Football Weekly. Nine players not normally and you're starting lineup, many of whom are available on the waiver wire. It is take

a chance on me Fantasy Football Week. Cle my co host and I will provide three quarterbacks, to running backs, and three receivers who we believe are startable this week, and unique situations for unique reasons, beginning with Brian Johnson at the quarterback position. After taking Mitch Trubisky last week, even though we had two touchdowns, little two touchdowns, I need a bit of a lay up here, so I'm taking Jacksonville's Nick Foles at home versus the Bucks. It's

quite simple. Tampa is allowing forty two pass attempts per game, the highest clip in the league, and prior to the Falcons game last week, the Bucks had allowed multiple passing touchdowns in eight straight games. In five of those eight games, they allowed at least three passing touchdowns. Foals doesn't get it done, though, it's Gardener menshown. I'll tell you that's right back to Gardner minsh All right, Scott, I'm sticking with the Sam Donald train. Gave an a grade this week.

Actually has seven touchdowns in the last two weeks, averaging over three hundred yards, and those He's even tacked on a couple of Russian touchdowns in the last three weeks, and the Bengals had given up multiple touchdowns and allowed an average of over three hundred yards per game in three games. Were to holding on dead head and duck caller last week and he made out with a girl. Yeah, way to go, Sammy boy. Just one. I was like,

come on, kidding in New York. One In New York, if you go to Jersey, usually they come in a six pack. They might send the Jets over to Hoboken to celebrateing, not Manhattan. Andy Dalton was benched as the league leader in completions. How Bengals is that? Now he's Now now he's back and he gets the Jets. Now, I know the Jets just shut down Derek Carr and

I don't care. In the month prior to that, the Jets got rocked for twelve touchdowns by four guys who had been on the bench at some point this year, Gardner Minshew R. Fitzpatrick, Daniel Jones, and Dwayne Haskins. Twelve touchdowns from those guys. Andy Dalton's the best quarterback out of this group. I fully expect they solid game from Andy Dalton. Let's go to the running back position, Brian

I got Green Bay's Jamal Williams at the Giants. Now, I'm gonna mention Green Bay wide receivers in this very quickly. Since Week five, this is seven games a Green Bay Packer wide receiver has caught at least fat five passes only four times in the last seven games. It's been Davante Adams three times and then Alan's Art once. Jamal Williams is arguably the best receiver on that team outside of Davante Adams. Last week, Williams saw eight targets to

Aaron Jones. Is one He actually outtouched Aaron Jones last week and the Giants are one of four teams that haven't surrendered surrendered to receiving scored a running back, but they've allowed some big, some massive catch totals to the position. Minnesota running backs at seven catches, New England backs had thirteen. The Bears backs had twelve last week. So Jamal Williams doesn't have a big game, and so is Aaron Rodgers. Will talk about this more. Yeah, you will, uh member

three quarterback this week? Scott Who's gonna take a chance of me? Running back? I'm going with Miles Sanders. It looks like Howard's going to be out again and it's gonna be the Sanders a gi show, and Sanders out snapped him by a ton last week. Sanders has at least three catches in seven of the last eight games, so he's gonna get you some PPR points and he's at least thirteen touches in those games, averaging over five

yards per touch. The Dolphins, if they're not good. They're allowing second most total yards per game to running backs and also the most attempts and most rushing yards. It's it's just a smash spot for Sanders. The worst run defense in the NFL is the Carolina Panthers, and so we're gonna take Darius Guys for a breakout game coming up here. Last week he got more carries and Adrian Peterson and Wendell Small but of course, but for Peterson, if you don't know, knee lingering, knee and toe injuries

have really hobbled him. He's been running at about two and a half yards per clip over the last couple of games. This is all setting up for the big breakout game for Darius Guys here. Running backs have scored in seven straight games against the Panthers. In their last five games, they've given up ten running back touchdowns on four rushing yards per game and five and a half yards per carry. If Guys is going to get the majority of the work, I love him in this matchup.

Let's go to the receivers. Brian, you know I gotta get grimy with the tight end by you. New York's the New York Football Giants. I should say Caden Smith, who might be Will Smith's son lately Leaven will Smith's son can do well against the Packers, who are allowing seven catches per game to tight ends over the last five games. Darren Waller, Travis Kelsey, George Kittle, and Dallas Goddard alone have combined for five touchdowns and no, Kayden

Smith is not any of those guys. But Evan Ingram ruled out, Rett Ellison ruled out, Golden Tate is out, and talk about this game more. But Caden Smith five catches in a touchdown last week. I bet he repeats that performance this week as well. I'm going with Jack Doyle. I'm staying on the tight end U boat here, buddy. We got Eric hebron Now out for the season. Uh. Hooper, Henry Kelsey into Joeku all had great games against Wow.

I lost my train of thought here against the Tennessee Titans. Yeah. Uh, Indie tight ends have average six point four catches on nine point two targets and nearly seventy yards per game when Hilton is limited or out. And that's all you brown this week. Um, it's a good when Doyle, you put Doyle and Ebron together, you've got tight end five and it's there in terms of their fantasy production. If Doyle's gonna get all of Ebron's production, and I think he's gonna get most of it, I don't think. Uh,

Molly Ali Cox. What is that guy's moli ai. I don't think all the Ali action for he's gonna get a lot of gotta get a lot of work suddenly in that offense. My take a chance on me receiver is an actual wide receiver d D. Westbrook against Tampa Bay, the league's worst secondary by a mile. In the last five games, no team has surrendered more scores or fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. And Westbrook runs out of the slot. And that's really important here because Up was

trolling out their fourth slot wide receiver. Now a guy named Mike Evans, a converted safety. He's way too slow to hang with D. D. Westbrook, who's got four three speed, and I think Westbrook clicks for at least one long touchdown in this game. I like it. Thank you. Let's move on to some of our matchups, including San Francisco and Baltimore, a fascinating matchup between two great defenses and

two offenses that generally fantasy owners can rely upon. Let's start with the San Francisco side, and I'm gonna start with the running game here, where Tevin Coleman just gets a C grade. He's averaged only twenty nine rushing yards and twenty six receiving yards per game and scored just

one touchdown over his last month of games. It's not been great for Tevin Coleman, and and that's been with Matt Brita out and by the way, and there's a chance Brita is gonna play in this game, or even a likelihood he plays in this game, and that just muddies the water unfortunately for him. Although you wouldn't want to start Brita if even if he does go, who knows,

any play could be his last. It's noting here that San Francisco used to be have the highest run percentage in the league for about the first half of the season, but that's really changed lately and now they're down to the ninth highest on the season, so they're they're really much more of a balanced offensive attack of late. The

Ravens are the opponent. They've been victim of some garbage time rushing stats lately, but I still held their running backs to just three point eight yards per carry and just two scores in the last six games. So that's why Tevin Coleman is just a C grade here. And we're not going to start Brita or most diret Those guys need much easier matchups. Let's go to the passing game, where Jimmy Garoppolo gets a C grade. He notched a career best pass rating of a hundred forty five against

the Packers last time we saw him. He's completed over seventy his passes and four of the past five games, which is downright breezy and in magnitude. He's thrown multiple touchdowns in four the past five games, which is downright mahomes e in. But the Ravens have dominated opposing quarterbacks ever since they got Jimmy Smith back from injury and added in Marcus Peters. They've been rule since Week nine.

They're allowing an average of just two d eight passing yards and zero point five touchdowns also known as half a touchdown per game. None of garoppolos receivers have a positive matchup in this game, and let's talk about those now, beginning with Deebo Samuel, who has been red hot since Emmanuel Sanders injury with ten yards per catch, but most often faced Marcus Peters has been great, and the Ravens give up just four point seven yards per pass attempt

that second lowest. I think that takes the deep all away from Deebo Samuel. He's just a C grade. Emmanuel Sanders has not been the same since his rib injury, and this is again a very tough matchup. Baltimore is only allowed one wide receiver score in the last five games. He will see a lot of Marlon Humphrey got hurt against the Rams, but came back into that game and should play here. And he just held Cooper Cup the thirty five scoreless yards. So Emmanuel Sanders is on the

bench in this one. The only other guy worth mentioning is George Kittle. He slumps to an unusual B grade here. The Ravens have only allowed one tight end touchdown over the last six weeks and haven't allowed a tight end to top thirty four yards during those six weeks. It's it's just this simple. The Ravens defense is awesome. Now let's go to the other side and let's begin with the fantastic storyline of Lamar Jackson, who will talk about in a little more detail later on in this show.

It is a testament to Lamar Jackson's ungodly fantasy prowess that he is still getting an A grade from me. In the face of all of this. The ranked number one against the pass. They ranked number three in passing touchdowns allowed. Lamar Jackson loves his tight ends. The Niners ranked number one in tight end yards allowed. They've given up one tight end touchdown since Week two. Now, who cares?

Your one angle is San Francisco has allowed to fifty yard rushing performances in the last three weeks, and also Brian him who cares? Who cares Lamar Jackson? Then the rules also apply. I mean, the Patriots are great defense and Lamar touchdowns and absolutely so I still have an A grade on Lamar Jackson. Mark Ingram also gets an

A grade. Since his week gate by, he's averaging total yards and one point three touchdowns per game despite getting fifteen touches per game, and since Week eight, opposing lead backs of average a hundred sixteen total yards and almost a touchdown per game against the forty nine. So the fot Nanders pass defense has remained very stout. The run defense has been has been a little softer lately, so I think mark Ingram, who's mostly performed in every game like all year, stays as an A grade a couple

other guys. I want to mention Mark Andrews. It gets a B grade here. Andrews has scored three times over the past three weeks, but it's only registered two catches in three of the last five, and that's always kind of the issue for him is volume because Lamar Jackson just doesn't pass that much, and then when he does, he passes to three different tight ends and is set receivers. San Francisco is arguably the top tight end defense in the league, as I mentioned outlined earlier, so Andrews just

gets a B grade here. Marcus Brown scored twice last week, but this is a far tougher matchup. No wide receivers topped eighty eight yards against San Francisco since all the way back in Week two. Brown spends his time running from the slot or right side of the field. That gives him brutal matchups with quick Kawan Williams and Richard Sherman. So just to see great on Marcus Brown in this game, and that wraps up a tricky but fascinating game to

watch on Sunday morning. Let's go to our next matchup, which is Philadelphia taking on Miami. Scott for the Eagles, it sounds like they will maybe get all Sean Jeffrey and Nelson Agilar back, and it's against Miami, so there's a lot of temptation to play those guys. What do you think I'm I'm not playing. I don't trust the hill catch all the balls again sent his way. Nelson

Aglar drops more balls in a Hernia specialist. And also he hasn't topped forty two yards or scored with al Shan on the field this year, So no thanks when Alshon Jeffrey doesn't score. He's been pretty mediocre this year. Um it's it would be real nice if he could play a team allowing the most touchdowns to watch receivers this year. That would be convenient, including five in just

the last two games in Miami. So I am giving Jeffrey a B a B grade, as as Wentz, his main guy, who I'm giving a soft Can I do that? Given A just keep trying. I'm giving an A grade. Amongst starting quarterbacks, only Sam Donald in his first game back from mono and Brian Hoyer failed to toss multiple touchdown passes against the Dolphins. So I think it's in

the cards for Wentz. Who's now got Jeffrey and Aglar back, and it's it's looked bad for Wentz for a few weeks, but he's been playing without offensive lineman, without wide receivers, and here comes to Dolphins. Man. I really hope he bounces back now. And when he had Jeffrey and al early in the season, me at fourth straight multiple touchdown games. So Earth's gets an A grade and got it gets a C grade because that offense really does funnel through

the tight end. I think there's enough work for everyone against the Dolphins, though, Uh Miami's okay against the tight ends. They're they're pretty decent against tight ends, but since week ends, since Week one, no tight end his top sixty yards against them. But it's zach Ertz and Dallas Goddard who are getting like twenty targets a game right now. Um uh, Earth's is the main target. He's top ninety yards in

three straight so that's why he gets the air. Doesn't go Dallas Goddard, Oh yeah, absolutely absolutely, or it has been limited, but I think he does go on On the other side, the only one I can start is is Davante Parker, and he's been solid, very solid for quite quite a while. A lot of people aren't realizing he's top fifty yards in all but two games this year. That's pretty good. He has at least five grabs in five of the last six, has ten or more targets

in three straight. Uh. He's scored in half of his last eight games, four of his last eight games. DeVante Parker. If we said here's the receiver's DeVante Parker has been better than for the last like six weeks or eight two months, it would be like Julio Jones and Odell Beckham, and yeah, it'd be crazy. I'm going to bet he's scored more Fantasy points and say Karon Barkley in the last month. Yeah, I bet that's true. Dawnt, Yeah, do that.

But that's it okay for them. In that event, Let's start thinking about next segment already, when we're gonna talk about Tampa Bay taking on Jacksonville and whether or not this is the big Ronald Jones breakout game. Did you know fanball has daily fantasy auctions. It is true. We love auctioning in the preseason. You will love auctioning in real time against live opponents on fanball. Give that a try. Famball dot Com clip click on the auctions tab. Coming

up next, Fantasy Football Weekly. As I mentioned Tampa Bay Jacksonville. We'll tell you about Ronald Jones and whether or not this is shaping it's more of a Godwin blow up game or the Evans blow up game. They never happened in the same game. It's one or the other. We'll try to decipher that when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. You are listening to Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm Paul Charchi and my co host are Scott Fish and Brian Johnson from fanball dot Com. You can hear us

over the year and many stations around the country. In fact, that might be you right now. And this show is also a podcast available every Friday at all major podcasting platforms, including the number one destination for podcasts, the I Heart Radio app. I'm very happy to say Tampa Bay takes on Jacksonville's I alluded two moments ago Brian Jacksonville's run defense is hot, garbage edge and Ronald Jones is getting all the work. Is this the breakout game for Ronald Jones?

I think, so I gotta be on him. Uh and I do. I'll get give Peyton Barber received because you said that run defense for Jacksonville has gone entirely south. But I do like Jones a whole lot more. Over the last four games, he has forty five carries to Barbers twenty six. Jones has seventeen targets to Barber's for he's taken the lead role in that backfield. But again,

this is a great matchup for both. Over the Jaguars last three games, opponing opposing running backs have totaled five hundred and eighty four rushing yards in three five rushing touchdowns and three games. That has produced six individual running backs who are top twenty four worth almost any fantasy format in three games. So they're both very startable, but you gotta like Jones a lot more in this one.

Peyton barr has been dropped in many leagues, and understandably given the season he's had and especially lately, He's a guy you could pick up and start in a pinch this way in deeper leagues for sure, definitely. And you alluded to the Mike Evans Chris Godwin like Who's who um based very alternate, just randomly, like who has the

big game? And this time it's Mike Evanstern based Mike Evanstern based on that, but science also says this is a game for Evans because elite boundary receivers have done just fine against A. J. Booyer, the loan standing cornerback after the Jalen Ramsey trade. Um Courtland Sutton six catches, sixty two yards, two touchdowns, d J. Moore had six nine one, Michael Thomas eight for eighty nine, DeAndre Hopkins

eight forty eight one. Even A. J. Brown popped off against Jacksonville last week for four five and a touchdown. So in a for Mike Evans, just a B for Chris Godwin, though he'll avoid Booyer in the slot, but that means he draws the better corner at least for this season, in d J. Hayden, who hasn't allowed a touchdown in coverage all season long, and he held the very comparable Tyler Boyd to five catches for fifty five yards on fourteen targets. Just a B for Chris Godwin.

No Tampa Bay it and is worth mentioning finally, we're not even gonna go there, by the way, and I was guilty of it. I bought into the O j Howard is dead to us, Let's go to Cameron bread narrative. Oh god, zero zero catches last week. Sorry, yeah, it's he's too much a roller roller coaster, boom bust options. So Jameis Winston though not so much, not in a level grade just to be just because that run defense

we mentioned is so bad for Jacksonville. They might funnel all of their offense through the run, but in the true talent of the team is at the wide receiver position. Though for Tampa Bay and the Jaguars have allowed multiple passing scores in three of their last four games, but the ceiling just isn't as high for Winston in this one. It feels so just to be over to the Jaguar side.

Just a B for Leonard four Nette. He's been playing great as of late, but the Bucks have basically been the worst opponent for running backs when it comes to fantasy football. Only five running backs have registered double digit PPR performances all year against Tampa Bay, but three of those backs had big games, and they were Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, and Todd Gurley. Leonard for Nett is certainly in that mix of B for him still based on volume, but in a for DJ chark Um, even though he's

a bit of a roller coaster ride as well. Over the past five weeks, opposing wide receivers are averaging more than sixteen catches, two hundred yards and two whole touchdowns per game against Tampa Bay. And needless to say, number one receivers have gone berserk, but there's been plenty of meat on the bone for the number two. And that's why Deeed Westbrook was going to take a chance on me wide receiver chart and Nick Foles was might take

a chance on me quarterback. What about Chris Conley, I said, Chris con Oh, Chris Conley, Conley, Chris the Chris Conley, Chris Connolly desk over here, And I'm telling you once again and I and I he didn't have a blow up game last week, but at like sixty yards I should have mentioned in him. I think he should get a C grade in this matchup. Chris Connley, consider it done. Chris Conley, appreciate that. Let's go to Washington taking on Carolina.

Not a lot to talk about on the Washington side, although Gary Darius Guys was might take a chance, I mean running back, and I love him in this game. If Adrian Peterson is active for the game, and I think he will be. Um, he's got the knee and the ankle injuries and the toe injuries. Um. But the Panthers run defenses so bad, as I articulated earlier and talking about Darius Guys, that you can start Adrian Peterson

here too in a pinch. The only other starting grade I've got is Terry McLaurin with a see no touchdowns or one hundred yard games since Dwayne Haskins took over. By the way, let's talk Dwayne Haskins. The Redskins are gonna be burning another first round draft pick on the quarterback position in five months, right, I mean it's you know, Dwayne Haskins is not the answer here. He looks to me like a backup caliber quarterback to my eyes to

this point, unless something changes anyway. It could. He's still young, but I don't I don't see a lot here. He's asket case. That's not bad. I might remember that um McLaren got twelve targets last week, which was a season high, and that part is promising. It's even more promising considering that the Panthers have a lot of the second most yards and receptions per game to opposing receivers over the

last five weeks. But he'll see a lot of cornerback James Bradbury, who usually travels with the opponent's best wide receiver. He's good, but he has also struggled lately, giving up his first score of the year last week. And so I don't think it's an automatic shoutout for Terry McLaurin here. He's got a chance and he gets a C grade. Let's go to Carolina. You notice start Christian McCaffrey. We want to even expand on that. Let's talk about the

passing game though. Kyle Allen, their quarterback, gets a C grade. Now last week, after every two weeks ago, well, I've been back up three weeks ago. Kyle Allen played a great game. We were talking about how Kyle Allen looked like he was sort of fitting into the mold of an NFL starting quarterback. Then two weeks ago, he looked terrible and everybody dropped him and he was the worst

thing that ever happened. Then last week, when nobody in the right mind would have started him, he looks great again. And gets a very good Saints defense. Now I understand he's playing the Redskins by reputation the two when Redskin sounds like an easy opportunity for Kyle Allen and this passing it, but in reality they've mostly handled their quarterbacks. Over Washington's last six games, only one quarterback has generated

a viable fantasy start. The other five average ridged two d four passing yards and zero point six passing touchdowns. That's it. So Kyle Allen has just got a C grade here and d J. Moore just has a B grade. He's topped eleven yards per reception and four straight he continues to be a down field factor. His matchup those is tricky this week. Washington has quietly been a top ten defense against opposing receivers in terms of yards and receptions and touchdowns allowed over the last five weeks and

more months. Runs most of his routes on the side of the field that Quinton Dunbar is on, and he's one of the better young cornerbacks in the league. So just to be grade on d J. Moore, Curtis Samuel gets a C grade because he's on the other side of the field where he gets well, it was Josh Norman. Now it's rookie Jimmy Moreland. Now Moreland had his first ever start last week. He allowed four of five passes in his coverage to be completed, and that's why Curtis

Samuel is startable here. And lastly, Greg Olsen, averaging more than five catches per game over the last four weeks in Washington, has given up three tight end touchdowns over their last two games, so he gets a C grade as well. We all need tight ends. We've talked about a lot of fantasy viable tight ends that are on the waiver wire so far already this week there's only like five truly viable Titans with holding onto all eGain,

that's probably true. Let's go to our last match of this particular segment, which is the New York Jets taking on the Cincinnati Bengals. Those people who drafted Levy on Bell have been waiting a long long time for a big payoff. Scott Fish, I think it's finally coming. Levy on Bell a big game here. Yeah, I have him with an A grade here. Ten running backs have hit the fifteen touch mark against the Bengals, and that's a really low bar. For fifteen touches. Those ten backs averaged

a hundred thirteen yards and scored seven touchdowns. The trend is in the right direction as well, as they just allowed Josh Jacobs and Benny Snell over a hundred yards in back to at games. And Bell also gets you that receiving work. He's averaging over twenty touches a game. Uh in the passing game. I I already gave Sam Donald a with my take on and I'm giving Robbie Anderson and a grade here as well. I'm a little worried about the Anderson Crowder thing as I dug deeper.

I'm still giving Crowder a C. But when those two, when one of those two hit thirty five yards receiving, the other one doesn't, it's always either or. In fact, only once this season have both of them had more than eight Fantasy PPR points in the same game. Only once, So you're only getting one or the other basically every game. So I'm going with Anderson. I'm going with a deep target.

Three deep target wide receivers against the Bengals in recent weeks have topped eighty yards, and two of the three scored and Anderson scored in back to back, so I'm giving it to him. Crowder generally gets a bunch of gets more targets and more receptions, so I'm still giving the C grade. Maybe you can hope for an okay day. Ryan Griffin, I'm giving a B. He scored six touchdowns in his last seven games, and he plays of the snaps.

The Bengals have given up three touchdowns to tight ends in the last three weeks, and three tight ends that went over fifty yards. Uh, and that's not counting the no show from basically from Vance McDonald um. On the other side, Andy Dalton was your take on you like him this week? I like I like Tyler Boyd because Dalton's back. Boyd averaged over six catches per game, in over ten targets per game, and nearly seventy yards per game.

With Dalton in at quarterback, he only scored once once, but he now matches up against a team allowing the third most touchdowns to watch receivers in the NFL. Like him here, I'm benching effort. I'm sorry, he's top thirty yards just once this season. Now, it doesn't even he doesn't not even be mentioning. Yeah, let's let's walk past that to Jill Mixon, who I think has a bad matchup here. I'm giving him a C grade because he's

probably going to get the volume. But over the last five weeks, the Jets having a out a single rushing touchdown and only Leo for net was was able to top thirty five yards rushing. Jets run defense is elite two point six yards per carry over the last five weeks. His volume, his fifteen plus touch volume, is what might get him that C grade. Otherwise it's it's rough. No, I have no problem just having a bench grade. And I thought about it. Bell cor running backs are just

guys that get that many touches. I don't know he needs. Like he had a thirty touch game a few weeks ago and he did well there. If you told me Joe Mixon's get thirty touches, then I'm in. That's probably what I would take Meason one in the passing game. How can the Bengals not see how good he Isn't that well? I answered my question that it's just the same team that bench to the league leader in completions

to go to their untested rookie. David Montgomery scored on Thanksgiving Chicago is the easiest running back schedule for the rest of the year. Brian, give me your thoughts on David Montgomery going forward and whether whether or not you think he's going to be fantasy viable the rest of the way, given the easy schedule, given the fact that we've got a touched on out of him, there's no basically you know, no other running back other than Tree Colon who gets a couple of a couple of carries

every now and again. What are your thoughts on David Montgomery going forward? Well, off the top of my head, I don't have the schedule in front of me, but you said it's favorable, banging on the that that they cut Mike Davis a long time ago, and not that he was ever a factor even though he technically started the season for the Bears, took the first snap and

everyone was panicking the up ticket production. It took a dip for Montgomery uh previous weeks, but last week it was way up, and based on the favorable schedule, he's cannot drop below a flex worthy player, especially when you think about teams like the Bengals and who else is dead in the water. They're gonna stop trotting out their bell cows. I believe, you know, just give some scrubs some run. The Bears are still clinging to some playoff life,

so they'll ride Montgomery. And you know there's a lot of tread in those tie because they weren't he was getting misused for the most part early on in the year, which was basically not getting used whatsoever. So yeah, I'd write uh Montgomery to the playoffs with some confidence. I've got a troubling statin David Montgomery. Here. Your bottom three running backs and yards after contact, yards after contact tells me a lot about a running back. Bottom Klein Balage

goes without saying. Second from the bottom, David Johnson, third from the bottom, David Montgomery, and it it has. I mean, if you if you think about David Montgomery broken tackles, Uh, he remember the preseason? What's insane is that was four college? I know he was super, he was profoball focused, his most elusive running back. Last year they hit a little harder than the NFL. They just a little little faster, a little faster, a little harder. It's just it's not

the same. It isn't the same. Um, when do we come back. Let's answer three tough questions together. Why don't we me you the panel of experts. Let's well, I will dole out three mind bending questions. You try to go three and oh on Fantasy Football Weekly. Don't you don't know? It's Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm all charge in for fambile dot com. My co hosts are Scott Fish and Brian Johnson. Now, let's roll up our sleeves with three tough questions. Guys, listeners who encourage you to play along,

try to go to me a question number one? I got the wrong cheat and paper. Here we go. Let's question number one. Is Rashad Penny going to be this year's Ron Dane? A player who out of nowhere posts a monster playoff run, guiding his owners to a championship? Brian Well, most playoffs start Week fourteen, so I'll exclude the week this week's match up with Minnesota, which is very tough for Seattle running backs, and looking forward from week fourteen. Weeks fourteen through sixteen, it's at the Rams

at Panthers and then the Cardinals at home. I talked about the Rams in the first segment. Only three running backs have topped one hundred rushing yards against them all season, but one of them was Chris Carson, and by the way, has been fumbling a lot. And that's the reason we're talking about Rashad Penny right now, Um. And then at Carolina week fifteen primo matchup there and Arizona also very

soft against the run, unlike years past. Now, Rashad Penny is not proven to not piece beast off because fourteen carries last week was his career high. He had double digit carries just three other times in his entire short two year career. I'm not convinced he is of bell cow bell cow caliber, bell cow cow, ian bell and cow caliber. Okay, now, brown cow bell cow Um. Chris Carson is outside of the phone balls, and he's still

a better running back. So I just don't see the Seahawks riding Penny like a bell cow, even in this favorable schedule. So I'm gonna say, no, he's not this year's roun Dame, all right, Scott, I think it's possible. It happens every year. We've mentioned this on shows before. It happened with Tim high Tower, it happened with as you mentioned, Ron Dane and c J. Anderson last year. If Carson's fumbles continues, maybe the Rams in Week fourteen.

They have allowed a hun six toll yards per game five touchdowns to run backs for the last three weeks. Panthers you you mentioned earlier, and they're terrible against Cardinals Week sixteen. They're allowing a ton of receiving gamework to running backs and Penny's good in that area as possible. Weirdly, early in the season, before the season, I thought it was Jordan Wilkins. I thought Jordan Wilkins was going to be the guy to take over from mc layton the season, jury, injury, whatever.

Now it's looking maybe it's Jonathan Williams. So I think Penny's a viable candid. I think Jonathan I'm gonna go with, yes, Penny can be that guy. The year was two thousand six. Ron Dane, a stone cold bust with the Giants and the Broncos, finds himself on the Texans. The Texans need him early in the season, and he starts three games for the Texans and he's awful, and he gets benched for guys like Wally Lundie and Jamille Cook. Then in

Week twelve, Ron Dane gets another chance. He pounds the Raiders fore yards, almost all of it in the second half. Some Wise, fantasy owners pick him up Week thirteen. Why that's this very week of two thousand six yards of pounding. That seems a little excessive that in week thirteen as the starter, he wasn't even the starter that game. Uh. Week thirteen, he's the starter nine nine yards and two scores for Ron Dane, powering his owners into the playoffs.

Then Week fourteen, one hundred one yards and a touchdown for Ron Dane. That Week fifteen, the playoff bomb drops one hundred fifty eight yards and two scores from Ron Dane in the playoffs of two thousand six now week sixteen. As it turns out, as a little reminder here, um, he actually injured his ankle in pregame warmups and that didn't end up playing in that game. Yeah, which you don't hear. That happened very often. And that was basically

the end of it for Ron Dane for career. He only played parts of one more season and then that was it. But that was the run for Ron Daane. The Seahawks usually used one workhorse and and you know, but not a ways last season we saw Mike Davis get a hundred twelve carries, Rashad Penny got eighty five. Together they got what Carson had a very close to

what Carson had. They can use, they can use multiple backs, and together with the fact that Carson has been a successful workhorse there, I think he's too good to be kicked to the curb completely, which is what would have to happen for Rashad Penny to go Ron Dane. The correct answer is no. Tough question number two, Should Matt Ryan's owners just drop him out? Right? Scott, No, No, I don't. I don't think so. I mean early in the season. He started the year with sixth straight three

yard games. Um might have been seven straight sixth straight and uh in five of those he had multiple touchdowns at the time he got injured. Much like you mentioned with Dalton earlier, he was leading the NFL and completions and attempts when he got injured. Um, he had a little trouble there. When he got back in Atlanta's defense like started to step up, but Atlanta's de defenses back to being Atlanta's defense over last week or still and uh,

Matt Ryan over the last couple of weeks. Those attempts are back up forty six two weeks ago, fifty this last, this, just yesterday. I think he's gonna get that. He was averaging forty three attempts per game when he was leaving the NFL. I think those attempts are gonna stay in the fifty range. I think he's going to need to throw, and I think he's got a lot of more multiple touchdown games coming coming up the stretch. Al Right, Brian, should Matt Ryan be dropped? I'm gonna drop Matt Ryan

in one quarterback leagues, um, starting next week. He's got Caroline at home, then at San Francisco, and then Jacksonville at home. Starting with Carolina next week. Yeah, Carolina. That run defense is brutal. We've talked about brutal in a bad way. And Ryan had three eleven and one in the first meeting between the Falcons and the Panthers. Respectable, but he had Austin Hooper and a healthy Julio Jones. Those two are not guaranteed to be healthy next week.

And then at San fran and week fifteen, that's so an awful matchup. I'm like, we're not even getting to weeks sixteen with Matt Ryany's re quarterback with those two upcoming opponents. So Fish made some great points, but I'm still it's not an easy decision, But I am dropping that Ryan. You know it's in sheer volume. That's all Ryan really has going for miss volume. Now the running game has been so bad they have no choice but

to pass. But to the points that we've made here, two of the next three teams up for the Falcons are horrible run defenses. And if if Ryan's not passing forty eight times he threw fifty on Thanksgiving Night, then I don't know what I don't know what kind of value that he brings. I think you can find other quarterbacks with a better schedule, more reliable than Matt Ryan. I think it's okay to drop him, like you can find other help. Tough question number three, Should Lamar Jackson

be the first player we could? We're codifying a conversation from last week. By the way, we threw this out casually last week, should Lamar Jackson? And then, by the way went berserk after last week's show, should Lamar Jackson be the first player taken in fantasy drafts next year? I want to preface this real quick with a revenge angle with Jacks. We should never overlook the revenge duck

making his first appearance of the show. So those who don't remember in the draft it was the um, it will be in this word of the Browns, Bills, Uh No, Browns, Jets, Bills and Dolphins who passed on Lamar Jackson in favor of another quarterback, favor another carback. So L Jacks and we will back to that. So he's played the Browns twice and the Dolphins since then. In those three games, he has eight passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns. And

he plays the Browns twice every year. This wait untill he plays the Bills and the Jets too. But anyway, L Jacks is breaking fantasy football right now. He is tied for the league lead in passing touchdowns with twenty four. The passing yardage is not there, but he is easily inside the top ten quarterbacks right now. And when it comes to running the ball at fifty plus yards and six rushing touchdowns, he's easily a top ten running back.

I'm standalone running numbers. So last week I said no way first overall, first round maybe, but there's so much uncertainty. It's only Christian McCaffrey, right, that's the one guy you contemplate. But he's a running back, and you know what, I'll get those guys later in the draft. I'm not gonna get Lamar Jackson later in the draft. It's not Kyler Murray, it's not Josh Allen. I'm going one one L Jacks.

I don't think I'm gonna be alone him. This is the this is the vic argument from like two thousand four, two five, only he's giving more rushing yards and he's probably gonna add with more touching rushing touch Johns and he's already got more passing yards. I think it's very viable. I I had some of the stuff Brian said. I was going to mention how this is a little bit of a down year for quarterback scoring and in comparison

to historically. Yeah so so L Jackson is that far above everybody this year, So it makes it look even more absurd. But also my last little point is fantasy is supposed to be fun, and honestly, there's there's nothing more fun than having Lamar jack sin or as I think you should start being called insta Win. I believe it's called him that before UH start calling him that because it's just fun to have him on your team.

So with everything Brian said and that, yes, why not, I'm always nervous about taking running backs early anyway, you guys know what I feel about that. Remember, going into this last draft, there were four guys that were the lock four running backs. Three of the four have disappointed and pretty significantly this year. Only Christian McCaffrey has lived up to the billing. And mostly Christian McCaffrey was not being the first player taken. It was mostly Sae Kwon Barkley,

Robin Kamara or Ezekiel Elliott. Um, you guys already hit on a lot of my talking points, but I want to mention one thing that's different compared to him and Mike Vick or Cam Newton or for old timers, Cordell Stewart.

Here's the thing. Jackson gets designed runs. These other quarterbacks were mostly scrambling, and they would scramble for a se in touchdown season or a six touchdown season or an eight touchdown rushing season right and then the next year, because these weren't designed runs, they would have two touchdowns on the ground or three touchdowns on the ground, and that destroy their fantasy value. That's not the case for

Lamar Jackson. It's the designed the fact that he's running designed runs all the time that makes him impervious virtually to these bad games because of a flags don't do what the arm does, and he doesn't have to get it by happenstance, by you know, getting into trouble and then scrambling and then maybe or maybe not scoring touchdowns. And his past catchers aren't adapting because they're all coming up together, like his tight ends and wide receivers are

all drafted within the last two to three years. It's like this whole thing is just yeah, it's it's it's scary to watch in a fun way. Oh, it's so much fun. Correct answer, Yes, I think. In fact, I think there's I think that's gonna be a universal consensus almost that Lamar Jackson by next do August will be pick one one. Hey, McCaffrey will be pick one too. So in an auction, you have to be the first one to just max bid to get Lamar Jackson. That's

gonna never know. I don't know, but that's that's some of the stuff that will be fun to talk about on this show. Come next August, um let's work in one more matchup. Green Bay takes on the New York Giants. Brian, for Aaron Rodgers, in his three good games this year, he has been quarterback one. In his eight other games, he's been quarterback thirty seven. There's only thirty two teams, Brian. Is this gonna be the great game for Aaron Rodgers or is this going to be the dismal game for

Aaron Rodgers. It has to be a great game for Aaron Rodgers. I gotta give him an A. Considering the Giants have conceded seven straight top ten finishes to opposing quarterbacks. The only two quarterbacks who failed to total multiple touchdowns all season were rookies Dwayne Haskins and Kyler Murray, giving Rodgers an A. But the only other past catcher that

gets an A from me is Dvante Adams. The Giants have allowed the third most touchdowns to wide receivers, and comparable receivers have blown up against the GM MANA Maarty Cooper one oh six and one and then had eighty yards and a touchdown in the second game. Mike Evans one ninety and three, Kenny Golladay one three and two, and Allen Robinson recently one thirty one and one. I'm giving Davante the a. He's my number one ranked wide receiver. This week will be his first touchdown of the year.

He'll score on Sunday, I believe. Imagine having him, Mike Williams and Robert Woods as your starting three wider resiver zero touchdowns receiver. Robert Woods, Ok, you got me there, um, Alan Lazard, I was close to you using as my take on wide receiver. You can throw a dart with him. But I mentioned in the last seven games a Green Bay wide receiver has hit five catches once like four. It's it's off something like that. But I like the well, I like Jamal Williams more out of the running backs.

Let me get to Aaron Jones. Gonna give him a c And by the way, Jimmy Graham dead didn't do anything on his birthday. Dead to me, Aaron Jones and it match up to Aaron Jones. Well, it wasn't that good, but it was his birthday. But Aaron Jones see just to see, I'll just say, see's charge, don't worry. Was outtouched eighteen to thirteen by Jamal Williams last week hasn't topped thirteen carries. He's the Dallas game and week five

and making matters worse. Outside of the misusage, the Packers lost starting right tackle Brian Blaga to a sprain mcl and since the Giants acquired defensive tackle Leonard Williams, their run defense has been based out. Over the last two games, they're barely allowing over two yards per carry. So just to see for Jones, but I like Jamal Williams in the past game here. I think he outside he could be the top receiver on the team this week outside

of Davanta Adams. Even better than Adams. Now, Aaron Jones had that massive blow up receiving game like a month ago. It was Arizona. I'm trying, I don't remember who they were playing um and then since then they've they don't even thrown them anymore. Yea, even he looked like he was just he was the second coming of Marshall fall out of the backfield and now the package don't even throw him, didn't take it was eight targets for even though they were getting blown out last week, Green Bay

in San Francia. Eight targets for Williams, one for Jones. It's just grost the floor is te extra better. He ended by guillotine league run. I got knocked out of my guillotine league last week, and no small part because of Aaron Rodgers or Aaron Jones doing nothing brutal. You know who has been knocked out of guillotine leagues plenty of times as anyone that's had sa Quon Barkley on the roster over the last six games, held under seventy five yards for six straight now rushing yards that is,

one touchdown during that span. This has to be a get right game though, for Sae Kwon. According to Football Outsiders, Green Bay is ranked against the run and they have yielded the third most red zone touches to running backs and gold to go scenarios. So I'm gonna get Barkley and a man you can almost sabotage. Troup doesn't come through this game. Maybe we'll talk about that next week. Hopefully not. We won't talk about Golden tat a whole lot.

He's been ruled out with the concussion. Sterling Shepard in gonna give him the b should run the slot he will now because Ted has been ruled out and he had success in the in Daniel jones first two starts when Tate was still on suspension, Shepard had seven for a hundred and one and then seven for seventy six and his two games manning the slot alone, but not

an ideal matchup for slot receivers. Traumont Williams is legit and held Keenan Allen to just three catches for forty yards a few weeks ago, so just to see for Shephard, I'm torn on Darius Slayton, but I'm going to put him on the bench. Green Bay yielding the second fewest targets to wide receivers, so not enough volume there for me with him, I mentioned, and take on Evan Ingram's ruled out. Rhett Ellis in the backup ruled out that made Caden Smith. Might take a chance of the receiver

tight end eligible if you're desperate out there. But in uh, lastly, Daniel Jones on the bench for me and this one. The Packers are yielding under thirty one pass attempts per game. That is not a lot at all, and even though Green Bay has allowed multiple passing scores and three of their last five. I cannot trust Daniel Jones, especially without Golden Date and Evian Ingram.

Fanball dot Com slash chart to enter the Crush Charch Championship. We'll be back in moments. We'll talk about Oakland taking on Kansas City. An absolute dud for Derek Carr in an easy matchup

last week. Do we like him any better this week against Kansas City? Find out when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Fantasy Football Weekly returns and we're diving back into matchups. Paul Churchy in, But first, did you know you can play super flex salary cap a fanball dot Com if you starting two quarterbacks or the Brian Johnson Special four tight ends? Got a fanball dot Com play our salary cap, DFS super flex sary cap. Most importantly,

there's no defense. Always toiling over what defense to start in daily fantasy is the worst. It's kind of true. Oakland takes on Kansas City guys easy a for Josh Jacobs. The Chiefs at the second most rushing yards to opposing running backs on a league worst five yards per carry. Josh Jacobs potentially sitting on a gigantic game here, um,

and really they're even worse than that. Over the last four games, running backs are averaging thirty touches for two hundred thirteen yards and one point a touchdowns per game against the Chiefs. So Jacobs had a brutal matchup last week, bounces back here with a very nice game. I believe. Let's go to the passing game. Derek Carr in explicably blank last week, has been a other than that has mostly been a very safe starter this year in Kansas City sees an average of thirty six passes per game.

So maybe if all malone will get Derek Carter some fantasy viability here. The chief secondary has improved, but over the last month, every opposing quarterback has scored and they've all topped three hundred yards and or thrown multiple touchdowns, So I think car gets this gets close to three hundred here. I want to believe so anyway, Tyrone Williams super disappointing, had those five straight touchdown games to start the season, hasn't and is now not scored for a month.

He's averaging just forty three yards on three catches over the last month. He'll be tested against cornerback chart Various Ward, who has improved dramatically and is yielding just seventy pass rating of just seventy two in his coverage and has not allowed to score since week number four. So he's just got a C grade. Darren Waller only has a

C grade as well. The Chiefs have allowed seven receptions to opposing tight ends each to the last three weeks to go along with a pair of scores, and Waller had six catches in the first meeting, so I like him here. The problem, of course, as everybody knows, and I think in particular Brian Johnson has been chagrined by the lack of touchdowns for Darren wall Fabian Moreau has got more touchdowns than he does on the season. I believe, Yeah,

that's super disappointing. Just he's found the end zone in only two games all year. You're right, Fabian row is the quarterback for the Reds against Foster. More serious questions, those guys related. I mean, normally a tight end and a cornerback do not have the same d N A right to be built. You know, for those positions, what you usually get as a Travis Kelsey and a was a Jason right, both big bodied guy. Jason Kelsey, the

tight end brother would be the bully. And that brother, oh god, he was the guy pinning down the wait Foster was pinning down Fabian Moreau and farting in his face because that's what older brothers due to younger brothers. Right, yeah, you would know. Let's go to the Kansas City side of this. For Patrick Mahomes and Tyree Hill and Travis Kelsey, they are all obvious A grades, So we're not gonna

spend much time in any of those three. Since we three non Finley quarterbacks have averaged three two passing yards and three touchdowns against Oakland, Travis Kelsey has a great opportunity against the Raiders defense that's allowed the second most tight end scores eight of them who else do we like besides Mahomes, Hill and Kelsey. Sammy Watkins logs in with a C grade and kind of a if not now when kind of game for Sammy Watkins. He averages

s eight targets over the last month. He's turned eight targets into forty three yards per game. That's it and by the way, scoreless yards per game. UM listener to the show Tom Roller told me today, Sammy Watkins in his scoring system, has as many points in Week one as he's got the entire rest of the year. I was just going to make that assumption that he probably has outscored the non week one games in Week one, Yes, unreal.

The ultimate high cell moment that no one took advantage of it was right then, because who nobody wanted to give up on Sammy Watkins after that with Hill getting hurt, Mahomes and Hills out right, so nobody wanted to give him up right then? Um. Watkins is a nice match up against cornerback Nevin Lawson. In five games, Lawson has surrendered a massive hundred thirty passer rating in his coverage and he also allowed touchdown last week. So Sammy Watkins

gets a sea here. Let's go to the running backs for the Chiefs. Damian Williams has been ruled out, and that brings both Lashawn McCoy and Darryl Williams up to see grades here. I think McCoy is gonna get the majority of work, but we will see Darryl Williams as well McCoy. Over the last three games Oakland, Oakland's opposing running backs have have averaged a hundred sixty three total

yards and a touchdown per game. If we're gonna split a hundred and sixty three total yards and a touchdown per game between McCoy and Williams, there and they're both see grade, so eight yards and half a touchdown out of each. A coin flips chance that a touchdown on each. That sounds like a C grade for Williams and McCoy. And then there are three games without Damian Williams. They're split is almost exact. Yeah, touch wise, touch wise, that

sounds right. Um, we don't have any hands. I saw you typing furiously to get to the bottom of our mereau broke. We don't know, We cannot identify. I don't think they're just because I can't find anything. That's probably true that if they were, they you would probably know. Although maybe same mother, different father. Can't that you can't rule that out. We don't know, and maybe they're not talking about that. Tennessee the same say, maybe I'm gonna

dive deeper. Well, fish does this matchup? If you can get me on the past, that would be fantastic. Yeah, quickly, Tennessee takes on Indianapolis Scott. Derrick Henry has been amazing and it's starting to feel a lot like last year where Derrick Henry pounded the opponent December opponents into submission. I think we may see some more of that here. What do you think about Derrick Henry? You see travels? Yeah, you can't. He's I don't even know that he's worth

talking about anymore. He's just you can't grade. He's twenty plus touches, he's you know, a hundred and fifty plus yards in two straight averaging like eight yards of carry, two touchdowns eached the last two. No, it doesn't matter who he plays. You can't bench him at this point anyway. Onto Tannehill in the passing game. Tannehill has been really

good too. Hack of a trade there for the for the for the Titans with Miami there, Tannehill has thirteen touches in his five starts and sticking over and he's Q three in that stretch over the last five weeks, which is which is crazy. Uh. He gets a Colts defense who has allowed nearly three yards and two scores to Nick Foles and Deshaun Watson in each of the last two weeks. Uh. Only Joe Flacco failed to score a touchdown on the Colts and was benched the following year.

You're so bad you can't throw a touch up past the bench and people forget Tannehill as a converted wide receiver from college. Yeah, just be hitting a stride. You know it took five years, six years. No, Uh, Brown is the guy, like more than Davis. Corey Davis his top fifty yards just once and scored just once with Tannehill under center. As good as Tannehill has been in as many Fantasy point is, he's generating none of it

going to Corey David. No. No, A. J Brown's getting it though, because he's had sixty yards and our scored in four of the five with Tannehill top fifty yards three three times, scored twice. I give him. I'm giving him a B grade. I do have Humphries on the bench though. Keenan Allen was the only slot guy to top fifty yards against the Colts in eleven games. That's that's crazy. And Humphreys is only top that twice in his eleven games. So he's on the bench. I have

John on the bench. Walker being on I R made me think about it for just a second. But they're just not passing the tight ends. Uh, they're not completing enough passes to the tight ends. He's targeting him six to seven times, but um, it's just not there. On the other side. Uh, you know, t Y Hilton Note is making me bench basically the whole passing game. You know. I think Zach Pascal had one good game with Hilton Note, but that that puts the bench Doyle, well, yeah, I

was gonna get to it. If I'm starting anyone, it's Jack Doyle. Uh he I'm probably downgrading him from a B to a CEE. I had him as a B with Hilton and now I think it's more of a C. I think that offense is gonna be tough to run, but I think they're going to run it through Williams. He'll have a little tougher time, but the Titans have allowed three straight lead backs over a hundred yards. Williams has two straight over a hundred yards, and they really

like him. They're getting give him him twenty touches. Yeah, I'm giving him a B grade. All right, that was an easy one. I think it's still the case that the Colts have not won a game since drafting t Y Hilton. When t Y Hilton did not play every while, that was because they've lost last week. I read that very so I think that that still holds true. Charges take on the Denver Broncos final matchup of this segment.

For the Chargers, this has been a passing game that has been largely very bad and very inconsistent, and now they get a good Denver secondary. Do you dare start Philip Rivers and members of this passing offense, Brian, I'll dive into his receivers and we'll get two Rivers and what I had Start him or not. But it's not

off to a good start. With Keenan Allen, who had four catches for eighteen yards when these teams first met this season, has been held under seventy five yards in his last three games in Denver where his game is getting played. So just to see for Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, you know, I just want to give him a SEA is because he's so do right he's been doing. He had six catches for seventy four yards in the Week

five game. That's startable, that's sea level side production. Five for sixty five and a touchdown last year in Denver probably a tougher matchup last year, that definitely a B. So I'm just gonna give him a C and hopefully all through the universe and get him in the end zone. So a CEE for Mike Williams. Kind of a gut

shot call, but what are you gonna do? Hunter Henry Almost a CE for him, but I'm gonna give him a B just because he is one of the elite tight ends in the league outside of Herbs Smith and Kyl Rudolph, who each caught a touchdown in the Week eleven second half epic melt down by the Broncos. Denver had not allowed are They allowed just one touchdown to tight ends and that came in Week four. Henry is averaging eight targets per game since returning from injury, so

I will give him a B. Here. I was gonna mention his past performance, but he hasn't played Denver since October of seventeen, so no point in that really. And then Philip Rivers, though, even though three starting grades for his past catchers, that doesn't mean they're all going to produce. It just means they all have the potential to produce. I got Rivers on the bench. The Broncos have slender surrendered multiple passing touchdowns in consecutive games, but Josh Allen

only through a hundred and eighty five yards. And then the other game was that epic second half collapse in Minneapolis that was here in Minneapolis, that is basically an anomaly. Before those two games, Denver had allowed just one quarterback to top one passing touchdown all year, and only two quarterbacks managed the top two fifty passing yards. So Rivers on the bench, Melvin Gordon not on the bench, and give him a B averaging twenty touches twenty plus touches

over the last three games. Bell cow status is back. Not an ideal matchup, though Denver has ran top ten against the run by football outsiders and outside of Leo four nets two five yard outbursts against the Broncos. Only one other running back has topped ninety yards against Denver. It was Devin Singletary against the Bills last week. Real quick, I guess how many touchdowns Melvin Gordon Melvin Gordon has rushed for against the Broncos in his career. I'm gonna guess. Well,

it's obviously a lot or a little. Um six or seven, seven, six or seven games? Well, yeah, it's probably been about seven games. I'm gonna guess like one close zero zero rushing touchdowns, one total touchdown called a touchdown. The last time he topped seventy rushing yards against the Broncos was October. But still gonna give Gordon to b for whatever reason. But and then Austin Ekeler when these teams met in

Week five, he had fifteen catches for parts. That was that was first game back by the way um and the outside of that game, only two loan backs have managed to three catches against the Broncos and Denver has only surrendered has a surrendered one receiving score of the position since Week four. Uh so, yeah, I'll give Keler a c in PPR but just barely over to the Denver side. This will be quick. Courtland Sutton. I'm gonna give him a c might give him a be if

he actually had a quarterback. He had four catches ninety two yards in a touchdown in the first game. The Chargers, though, are likely to get back all World safety Durwin James, who has play at all season long and will be good in his first game back. He'll be a little rusty. But even without James, um I was gonna call him San Diego. I can still not used call him l A. Los Angeles was already clamping down on opposing wide receivers

over the last four games. They had not surrendered a score to the position, and no wideout has even hit the seventy receiving yard mark in those four games. So just to see for Sutton. Not gonna mention any other wide receivers for the Broncos with Brandon Allen as a quarterback, I will mention, Noah fant do do we think Brandon Allen is gonna start this game? I heard Drew Lock might, but Andrew Lock has been taking first team STAPs. Could

It doesn't matter. I just want to get your no, No, yeah, you should thank you for bringing that up, and it's worth mentioning for sure. But yeah, they're both not uh can have very and you know he's not gonna have a good game, is Noah fan even though he's been a target hog since the Mannie Sanders trade. If Derwin James comes back, that foe is even worse for fans. By the way, the Chargers allowed the third fewest PPR points per target last season with a healthy Derwin James.

I have to thank Mike tag Lear for that stat. But even without James, it's been a bad matchup for tight ends. Since Week four l A, the l A Chargers have only allowed one tight end touchdown and it went to Travis Kelsey. Recently, they also limited Darren Waller to be three catches for forty yards and week ten, so I got fans on the bench, go grab Caden Smith or Tyler Higbee much better options this week and

Brandon Allen on the bench. Philip Lindsay, though in A, has outtouched Royce Freeman thirty two to thirteen over the last two weeks. When Lindsay had a hundred and forty seven combo yards and a touchdown in the first meeting, Royce Freeman stole fift touches in that game. You have those touches to Philip Lindsay and we got an a. The charters have allowed at least one running back touchdown

in seven straight games. Our final set of matchups are coming up next, and our final premature speculation of the year also coming off. I figured one out. We got one all right, you've got a premature speculation ready to go. I'm glad to hear that you'll like you get three of them coming at you. These are players that you don't want to pick up this week, that everybody else is gonna be trying to pick up next week. Courtesy of the Fantasy Football Weekly time Machine. Right there, Fantasy

Football Weekly returning in moments, Welcome back. Fantasy Football Weekly. Premature Speculation might be the most popular segment on this show. It's just one week of you, guys, we think you should pick up this week that other people will be trying to pick up next week. But they're already on your team. Begin Bryan Johnson, who's hitting the time machine for you. This is more like who you'll be picking up next season. Because I got a little bit of

a dynasty Empire angle. This is where I thought we were going to. So I also did that, which you should be playing on Safe leagues dot Com by the way. But it's Dallas. Is Blake Jarwin tight end. Obviously, he's been sharing time with Jason Witten all season, the decrepit old Jason Win. Even though he had a good game last week. Whatever, Dallas tight ends are averaging six catches, fifty seven yards and exactly one half of a touchdown per game. Jarwin has scored half of the Cowboys tight

end touchdowns. Remove Witten from the equation next year and you got a top ten tight end in Blake Jarwin. All right, So mine is gonna be Andy Isabella. Larry Fitzgerald might be playing his last season, we don't know yet, but Andy Isabella is gonna grow with Kyler Murray. His snaps have been ticking up. He has seventy five plus

yards in two of the last three weeks. Uh. And come next week, maybe you're in a league where you can drop your kicker of defense and pick up one of those speculative guys because you'll be done playing for the season if you're not a contender. So Andy Isabella throw him on your roster. Um the player with the easiest remaining schedule at tight end or the team I guess with the easiest remaining schedule is Cleveland. Who's coming back David and Joku. David and Joe Wu is coming back.

They get Cincinnati Arizona and then Baltimore, and actually Baltimore is the one thing they're not awesome at is against the tight end. So Cincinnati Arizona Baltimore, you could be starting David and Joe Wu probably comes back this week. You let him knock the rust off this week, and then you pick him up for that Cincinnati Arizona games. And now you've got somebody. You've got a startable tight end when most of the time most of don't have

a starting tight end. It's a waste land. It is a bit of a waste land out there, for sure. The Monday night game we're gonna do Monday night and Sunday night. The Monday night game is Minnesota taking on Seattle. And this one is a little bit thorny because of the Adam Feeland situation. He did not really practice and meaningfully all week leading up to this game. He will probably be a true game time decision, and if you if you don't know otherwise, I think you're probably you're

probably in a very tight spot with him. If you had to pivot from Feeling, you could go to Josh Gordon, who'll talk about later, who's got a startable grade OLDA B C. Johnson would be his primary backup and would play his role in the offense. You could try him if you wanted to. If Feeland does go, it's a great matchup because the Seahawks are in great flux at the slot cornerback position because they waived Jamaar Taylor and they used to back up A Keen King in that

position last week. Keen King is allowed every single throw in his coverage this year to be completed. So if Feeland is able to go, it's a pretty strong matchup for him, and I would have a I got a factor in the possibility that he has a setback into his grade. I'll give him a C grade because of the setback scare. But if he doesn't have the setback, and from you can tell me he wouldn't have a setback, I'd give him a much higher grade and probably an

A grade. Now for Stefon Diggs on the other side, he is an all or nothing guy in these games when Theeland doesn't play. I think he's got a nice matchup here, though, because will mostly see Trey Flowers. He's a converted safety. He's on the slower, bigger side among cornerbacks and takes this so slippery. I think Diggs can scirm his way free for potentially a very good game here. And I've got to be grade on Diggs, but I'll note that he does have these games where he just

disappears when when Theeland doesn't play. If teams just decided to take him away at all costs, that could be the end of Diggs. He doesn't usually break those kind of games up. While we're staying with the passing game, let's mention Kirk Cousins. I I like him obviously a lot more. With Adam Feeling, he gets a B grade. With Theeeland, he gets a C grade without Feeling. Over the last seven games, Kirk has average two yards and two point six touchdowns, which is great. He's strowing multiple

touchdowns in six of the past seven games. Seattle secondary, though, was improving quite a bit um and they're they're actually pretty good at this stage. But Cousins just got done beating too solid defenses in Dallas and Denver, so I wouldn't necessarily rule that out. From week four forward. Seattle is allowing less than one touchdown past per game. That's it. Are you buying into the primetime narratives? Still, we're Kirk Struggles in primetime? He said, I mean, just just be

Dallas in primetime to two games ago. I'm not uh kurt. For Kyle Rudolph on fire with five touchdowns over his last five games. The Seahawks have been one of the worst tight end defenses. They ranked bottom five in tight end receptions and yards allowed, and they just allowed nineteen receptions to the Eagles tight ends last week nineteen. So Kyle Rudolph gets a C grade in this one too. Let's go to the Seattle side easy. A grade for Russell Wilson. His peers that have faced the Vikings have

been really effective. Dak Prescott, Matthew Stafford Carson, It's Matt Ryan, Aaron Rodgers good quarterbacks like Russell Wilson. They average three hundred sixteen yards and two point six touchdowns against Minnesota. He's got strong matchups all over the field. A grade for him and an A grade for his two starting receivers,

Tyler Lockett in DK Metcalf. Minnesota's a bottom five secondary in yards and receptions and touchdowns allowed to wide receivers over the last five weeks, and Tyler Locket will mostly get Mackenzie Alexander out of the slot. He's been their best cornerback, but that is not a high bar to clear, and he's still allowing of the passes in his coverage to be completed, So Tyler Lockett gets an A DK Metcalf.

Big bodied receivers like Metcalf almost always get extensive coverage by Xavier Rhodes, and that is a green light for DK Metcalf. Rhodes is playing at the lowest level of his career, allowing eighties six percent of the passes in his coverage to be completed. He ranks one among cornerbacks by Pro Football Focus Xavier Rhodes x Xavier as he likes to call himself now um even Josh Gordon is in the mix for many of these same reasons he would draw. Trey Wayne's also on a down year, he

gets a C grade. Jacob Hollister, their tight end is also startable with a B grade. Minnesota's the most targeted team for tight ends at ten per game and their twenty nine and tight end receptions allowed. They did give up just their first tight end touchdown of the season last week to something called Troy Fumagali Hollister averaging almost seven targets per game, so he's very safe in this one as well, even if he doesn't get the score.

And that brings us to the fascinating part of this matchup between the Vikings and the Seahawks, and that's at the running back position, where I've got C grades on both Chris Carson and Rashad Penny. For Carson, he had the two fumbles last week and then basically didn't see the field again, and Penny ran like crazy. We don't know what the plan is for the Seahawks on this, but we're either case. The Vikings are a good run defense. Whether or not Linval Joseph comes back and his status

is up in the air as well. He's their run stuffing defensive aligneman, but they haven't even missed him. In the two games he missed, they bottled up Ezekiel Elliott and Philip Lindsay, so the only two runners that have done Only two runners have done anything against the Vikings all year, and one of them needed a ninety one yard run to get there. So I got Carson and Penny just on C grades and you're rolling the dice

on the usage on both of those guys. Let's get to our final match up here, which is a Sunday night er, New England taking on Houston. Yes, so Tom Brady has not been great recently. Over the last five games, he's averaging two in thirty nine yards and he's throwing just five touchdowns, but the Texans are allowing three more passing touchdowns in five last seven, and it's it's just a good matchup. It feels like a get right matchup. It feels like a get right matchup. So I gave

him a B grade. I'm giving edelman An a grade ten plus targets in six trade. He's his main guy. The questionable thing is the New or Dorset are they gonna play It? Sounds like dor they're both on the right side of questionable Dorset cleared protocol, so he should be back if the New doesn't go. I'm giving USIG grade to Dorsett, who has scored at five touchdowns in his eight games. If snow goes his first game was okay, his second game was great, and then his third game

got injured. I tend to lead more to the second game. I think he's a C grade. Uh, White Michelle, I'm giving him both Seas. Their snap percentage have dropped nearly ten percent each since Rex Burkehead came back, and their numbers have dwindled. But this is a bottom six run defense of the Texans that just got crushed by Marlon mark Ingram and Gus Edwards and Jonathan Williams. So I'm giving him both C grades. On the other side, Deshaun Watson given him a B grade. It's a tough us

this week. It happened with Lamar Jackson too. Uh. Deshaun Watson, mobile quarterback, has five rushing touchdowns. Maybe he can get it there. The last quarterback to face the paths to have two was over two fifteen yards was Week one. The B grade is basically rushing, so I'm giving Hopkins and Fuller both C grades. Hopkins gets Gilmour who's shutting everyone down, but it's still the Jay Hopkins, Fuller gets mccordy, and Fuller is questionable. He might be, he might be limited.

Mccordy has the speed to run with him, and the Paths have only allowed one wide receiver touchdown this year. I'm just hoping Fuller can get deep for one. I don't think you should mention because he has that explosive high ceiling. I'm benching the other guys though, bad bad, bad defense. It's a bad matchup for the Runners. And Darren Fells isn't scoring touchdowns anymore. And that's all he was giving you before, exactly was scoring touchdowns. Yeah, that's it. Yeah,

they're dead in this game. Yeah, I think you're probably right about that. This is like the second actual team the Patriots are playing this season though, Yeah, it's true twice, the Giants, the Redskins, Scott. Yes, you've you have put together a sabotage drop. And for people and listeners who don't know, the sabotage drop is something that we've quasi invented. We've been to the term anyway. The ideas you drop a high profile player, a player's name familiar with the

intent for somebody else to do two things. One use up a waiver priority or a bunch of fab to go get that guy and then go start him mistakenly because you know that player is not somebody that you you would ever be starting. So who is your sabotage drop candidate? You might get shocked by this, but it's a guy who forty nine percent of his fantasy points came in three weeks. Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers. All three of those games were against bottom nine past defenses at

the time they played. Now the left the Giants this week. I'm gonna start him this week and then drop him on Monday. Right. The thing this is after the Giants game, drop him for fantasy playoffs because Washington has only allowed the average of two eighteen yards passing in a total of seven touchdowns over the last six weeks. They flipped

the script on past defense. Then he gets Minnesota. You know, in the last time Aaron Rodgers through for more than yards in Minnesota seven years ago, the last time he threw multiple touchdowns in Minnesota over five years ago. He does not play well here and Chicago top five against quarterbacks. I know, blow did blow? Yeah, those are baups drop the Vikings secondary, dost know. I want to be able to start him against Minnesota in that epic which should

be an epic game. Hey, if you if you love the show, and or and or if you miss any part of the show, go to Famba dot com slash charging get all of my player rankings for free. You can hear more detail on all of these guys. And we have time for in this show. We have our
