Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio, your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. Now along with the guys from fanball dot Com. Here's the host for Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome to America's longest running fantasy football show. It's called Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm your host, Paul Charchy and from fanball dot Com my co host today Brian Johnson and Matt Harrison. Hey boys,
Hello friends, Mellow greetings, Paul and mellow greetings. Well, isn't that nice? Is it? Are you drinking mellow yellow? Is that? No? It is a is a yellow container, but it is not mellow. It is not mellow at all. Red Bull Yellow Edition free advertising. Kidding. Yeah, we've got a lot, especially when we've got so much to get to over that true, what are we doing? We will break down every single matchup fantasy style with letter grades on every
player who matters. We will give you our rationale for all of those grades, so you get to decide if you agree with our our decisions or not. We'll we'll answer three tough questions. We'll give you nine players upon whom you can take a chance, and we will jump into our time machine and give you the player that everybody's gonna be looking for next week on the waiver wire. But you'll already have them because it's this week and you heard the segment we like to call premature speculation.
I expect that peacock for my Jacob Hollister prespect a couple of weeks ago. It's gonna go down the prepe Hall of fames. Even had Arizona yet week, I know, isn't that isn't that isn't a little carried away on the button bar is playing in Arizona. Happy trombone that you can be happy about a lot of things, not just Mitch Trabiski and his three touchdown game. We'll pull up a happy trombone ski later in the show. All Right,
I'm looking forward to that. We've got plenty of matchups to get to all of them, and beginning with buff Well, not two is not Thursday Nights Buffalo at Miami, Brian, you know, for Buffalo, this has been a the end of a series of polled, strongly positive matchups. So this is the last one, and in honesty, the Bills have not maximized this opportunity against most of these bad opponents. What do you think happens in this game in Miami? I think they probably win. Let's analyze this from a
fantasy perspective. Okay, just kidding, Devin Singletary start with him. I gonna give him a B. Over the last two weeks, Singletary is total thirty four touches to Frank or Is seventeen. The Dolphins are conceving thirty two touches per game to opposing backs. So if this trend continues, Singletary should touch the ball around let's say twenty three times. My estimation I would be plenty, which means Franco would handle the ball around nine times nine times. Thanks for the manual.
Good job. By the way, these teams are played already this season. This is the second meeting of the year. Singletary and Gore combined for eighteen carries, eighty one yards and zero rushing touchdowns. In the first meeting, Francore at the only reception but single Arry is the bell count now would appear, so he gets the B. So does John Brown. In the passing game, at least four catches and fifty yards and seven straight games. So Smokey has a safe floor. We're not used to seeing. He's usually
been very boomer Bucks. Is he smokey or is he smoke It was smoky Brown Brown, I believe. So that's Smokey the bear. I think he Isn't he just thought it was smokey. Well, we'll have to fact check that that's different. Yeah, well yeah, we'll get back to you on now. I'm calling him very important. But this is a high ceiling scenario for smoke or smoke, whichever one it is. We'll figure about. Brown had five for eighty three and a touchdown in the first meeting, and that
was when Xavian Howard was healthy, their best cornerback. He's on I R now, So I'm like in the ceiling for Brown here, I didn't actually give him an a screw it from John Brown. See for gold Beasley. Beasley also scored in the first meet, but only at three catches for sixteen yards, but Miami allowed at least eighty yards in a touchdown slot receivers ju Juice with Schuster and James and Crowder in the recent games since the first meeting. So Beasley is worth the dark throw and PPR.
Buffalo tight ends are not though they're all on the bench for me, and Josh Allen is not on the bench. I'm gonna give him an a uh, just a modest two O two and two touchdowns passing four thirty two. That's good passing for thirty two rushing. We're used to seeing the Yeah I want, I want the eleven scrambles for nine six yards from Josh Allen and we're back
getting it all year. Yeah, we'll hope we will see it in this game because last year he had ninety five yards rushing and two touchdowns, then a hundred thirty five yards rushing in the other game, so that's ceiling still exists. Miami has actually opposed limiting, uh limited opposing quarterback production over the last three but they faced Mason Rudolph Sam Donald and Brian Hoyer during that stretch. So, like Josh Allen, here over to the Miami side before
we have breaking news. Before you get over to the Miami side. It's Smokey. I did it. I don't know what made me think it was smoke, But by the way, some people do call him smoke And it turns out there's a restaurant in Kampas City called the John Brown smoke House, all right, and according to yelp, it's delicious. No, I don't think that they're they have anything to do with each other. Wait, no, no, no, it's in Long Island. Sorry,
it's in Long Island, I guess. But if they call themselves Kansas City style of barbecue, anybody, if any listener can, has ever been to the John Brown Smokehouse? Let us know, people in Casey like us, which Miami cornerback is going to the John Brown Smokehouse this week? Hey? Uh? Not Xavian Howard or basically Finn past pick Finn Patrick. All Right, I was trying to get to how bad Caitlin Blage sucks. Okay, but I'm gonna give him a cee in this matchup.
O god, wow. Fifty five carries on the season for Blage, by the way, a hundred and thirteen yards on those five carries. Unbelievably bad. He called his forty five combo yards on twenty two touches against the Colts last week a quote okay, quote unquote okay day for career, But I don't know. In the first meeting Miami Backs total ninety four yards in a touchdown on twenty three carries. But when I say Miami Backs, I really mean Mark
Walton and Kenyan Drake. Blage had three carries for seven yards. He is the one who scored the touchdown. The Bills have allowed four running back rushing touchdowns over the last four games. Nick Chubb and Adrian Peters and both topped the hundred yards against Buffalo in the last two weeks, and neither had more than twenty Gary's to do so. So I'll give Ballage the sea based on volume. But again he blows. Uh. Davantae Parker, he's on the bench,
had five for fifty five and one in the first meeting. Uh, that's what that was? What I'm sorry? Yes, he had five fifty five and one in the first meeting, and in his first game without Preston Williams last week he saw ten targets. But Preston Williams was shadowed by Tredevius White in the first meeting. Vante park was gonna shadowed by So he's on the bench, Alan hearns. I'm gonna make up my mind on the fly here played the
snaps last week. He won't be shadowed by Tredevius White White lockdown Beckham last week and that's when Jarvis Landry went off and Richard Higgins even scored. So Alan earns
Man that's a throu throw on fanball dot com. That's basically not a take Colm receiver but a dart throwing Fanball Mike Kasecki can give him a c not one of posing tight end as top fifty yards against Buffalo and then includes Cosecki wcause he had four for forty one in the first meeting and sadly that's decent tight end production these days to get about eight PPR points. So he's a round tight end fifteen this week, and I'm putting your boys to bear on the bench chart.
He did have eight two and one passing and thirteen rushing yards and a rushing touchdown in the first meeting, but I'm not banking on that rushing touchdown. The Bills have allowed one er zero touchdown passes until Baker through for two last week. But uh, I know Patrick as good as Baker, and who knows they're both not very good, so you'll be nice. O Denver takes on the Minnesota
Vikings in Minnesota. For Denver, it's Uh, it's a game where Brandon Allen, former a f quarterback, gets his second NFL start ever and it's on the it's to get against Mike Zimmer, So I you know this. It puts a damper on everything here. This feels like a sizeable mismatch. I could see him finding his way to like a touchdown maybe in garbage time, maybe gets a second in
garbage time, something like that. But other than that, I don't think you want to start Brandon Allen and that brings down quite a bit the other players in the passing game. Courtland Sutton remains a B level grade though, because Vikings cornerback Xavier Xavier Rhodes Xavier Rhodes as he likes to be called now, who's it's just been a bad year. He's catch The catch rate on him is eighty six percent. That's crazy. His path to passer rating
against him a hundred one. Courtland Sutton is uh, just super safe as well, averaging seventy four yards over his last six games, four touchdowns over those six games. Most of those are Joe Flacco, and again, I don't trust Brandon Allen to get a lot done here, but that might be enough to get Courtland Sutton up to a B grade, but he's the only receiver you want to start in this game. Noah fan gets a wobbly see mostly just because of the bye week and injuries to
Kittle and Hooper. Uh So, normally I'd give him a bench, but I'm gonna give him a CEE for Noah fanse. He has seen seventeen targets the last three games, a notable uptick for the rookie tight end in usage. Vikings allowed the third most tight end receptions, although none have scored Philip Lindsay by you guys know, I love love Philip Lindsay. The Vikings do not have their primary run stuff for Lindval Joseph for this game, but even so
it's a tough matchup. Viking shutdown Ezekiel Elliott without Lindvald Joseph last week, Vikings right nine and rushing yards allowed. They've given up one rushing touchdown since week two. I've got to see grade on Philip Lindsay. Royce Freeman is on the bench. He has top forty yards once in his last five games. He's been held to under three point five yards per carry for a month straight. He
doesn't catch passes either. He's dead to us for that matter, when is Denver and Vic Fangio, who I love, gonna just let Philip Lindsay, be a workhorse and see what happens. You know what happens if you give him the ball twenty five times, He's not gonna snap in half. Yeah, he broke his wrist at the in Week sixteen last year. That doesn't mean he's fragile. I put the unnecessary hits on him, though in the lost season at time you could say that, I suppose let's go to the Viking side.
The storyline here is really that Vic Fangio has migrated his Chicago defense westward. They are awesome. In fact, statistically since Week four, the Broncos are the better defense than the Bears. Let's talk about it. Dalvin Cook, I've got I've just got to be great. On Dalvin Cook, only two backs have averaged four yards per carry against Denver. The Broncos have given up just one rushing score running backs in their last six games, only one receiving score
two backs all year long. Cook his averaging five catches and six eight yards through the air in his last three games, and the screen pass has become devastating, and I love that part about the the the game for Dalvin Cook has now become a very valuable receiver. But I think Fanjo's defense is good enough to keep him
at a B level for this game. Kirk Cousins gets a C grade, and it's a wobbly see it at at that The past five teams to face the Broncos of average just two hundred seventeen passing yards and zero point four touchdowns. That's it. Yeah, Kirk's got to do a whole lot better than that if you're gonna even consider starting him here. He's further challenged by the absence
of Adam Feeling in this game. Stefan Diggs will draw shadow shadow coverage from elite cornerback Chris Harris, who's giving up just thirty nine yards per game in his coverage. And that's why I've got Diggs with a bench grade. Last two games without Adam Feeling, Diggs just four catches for fifty four yards. That is it. I mentioned Chris Harris giving up just thirty nine yards per game in his coverage, so it's a It's a brutal matchup for
Diggs as well. Cal Rudolph is on fire with four touchdowns in the last four weeks, but the Broncos are tough against tight ends. Denver's only surrendered one score to the position. They held Travis Kelsey and Darren Waller to under five receptions each, so I've got a bench grade on him as well. Uh So, overall, it feels like a defensive tussle. I don't particularly like any of the players involved. Tussle tussle. Uh. Let's go to the say to found themselves in a bit of a tussle last week.
Uh nobody thought that the Falcons would shut out Drew Brees and they take on Tampa Bay. It's not no chance that Drew Brees goes zero and zero against the Falcons and the Tampa Bay buccaneer. Yeah. I don't think so either, but it is worth noting in his last five trips to Tampa Breeze has only had one game with multiple scores and only one game of over three hundred yards in his last five visits to Tampa Bay.
But I'm giving him an a grade. We all know the Tampa defense is non existent, allowing multiple scores to the past seven quarterbacks they've faced, including four touchdowns the Teddy Bridgewater in Week five. Mike Thomas easy a had eleven two and two in the first meeting. Ted ginn even gets a C grade in this one scored in the first meeting. I tried that last week and he gave me zero zero. Yeah, I think we're all skunked last week in that Atlanta game. Uh, Tampa stops No. One.
Five different wide receivers have topped seventy yards in the last two weeks, and they're so bad that they just cut former first rounder Vernon Hargraves the third. Yeah, he's gone. Jared Cook is getting a B grade. Eight different tight ends have either top to fifty yards or scored against the Bucks this year. That's one per game on the scores. Uh. Cook was targeted ten times last week against Atlanta. That was the first game that Cook played with Drew Brees
since Week two. So that's that's a pretty good target share right there. Uh. Like Michael Thomas, I like him a lot this week. Uh. And then Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray. I'm giving Kamara a B and Lotavius a pretty solid bench grade. Um behind most of the week. Last week to Atlanta Kamara ran forty five pass routes and was on the field for the Snaps had ten
targets in that game. Murray is basically only in play if this game gets out of hand in the Saints favor, and if you believe they're about to dominate, I guess you could fire him up. But even if he gets in the game, the Bucks have allowed the fewest rushing yards per game in the league this season. They're really good UM, and New Orleans is three and two in their last five trips to Tampa. They've only one by more than a touchdown once in that span, so this
game is not going to be a blowout. And if if history serves right, on the other side, Ronald Jones and Peyton Barber, they're both on the bench. They're back to splitting the rushing touches almost evenly. In fact, that each had eleven rushing touches last week, but Jones did add eight catches for seventy seven yards through the air. UM, So if you're gonna start one of them, it's probably Ronald Jones. But the last back to score against the Saints was Peyton Barber back in Week five. It's been
a while weeks. UM, so they're both on the bench. Jamis Winston, I'm giving him a B grade. Winston his top to three hundred yards and six of his last seven starts. He's been great for fantasy really, as the one outlier here was the game against the Saints, who held him to two hundred four yards and two scores. Although Marshawn Lattimore is expected to miss this game hamstring in that really helps Winston's chances. And as Lattimore is shut down Mike Evans in the past few weeks, that
really helps Mike Evans. Because speaking of Evans, remember when he had zero catches in the Week five meeting going up against Latimore. Well, Latimore shadowed him the entire game. Since he's gone, it's open season for Evans. He gets the A grade since he topped eight yards or scored in six of his last seven games. Oh, that seventh one was against Lattimore. UM, Godwin is getting a B grade.
It looks like he'll be facing slot corner P J. Williams, who's allowed eight point five yards per attempt this year. Godwin hasn't scored in four straight weeks, but he has average ten targets per game during that span, and he's also managed a hundred and twenty five yards and two scores.
In the first meeting. There's some talk that they'll move P. J. Williams outside to take on Evans and that Gardner, Yeah, Johncey Gardner bill up the fourth would end up who has been absolutely a disaster to in coverage this year in a short spurt. So it's it's all looking good for Godwin. O. J. Howard is getting a C grade Cameron Braids on the bench. Braid has seen fewer than fifteen snaps and two consecutive games, and Howard was on the field for of the snaps last week, and he
scored against the terrible Cards tight end defense. The Saints aren't yielding a lot to the position, but with Howard on the field the snaps and a lot of people having issues at tight end, he's probably good enough to start in some scenarios. It wasn't Chauncey Gardner, the the name of the Peter Seller's character in some seventies movie where everybody thought that he was like a chart was born in the eighties, brilliant artists out that he was
really just super stupid. I think I swear Chauncey Gardner was that guy. I just think that's Johncey Gardner Billips. I like that part of it. We'll go, We'll go with that. Yeah, it's something like that. It wasn't okay, Brianne is younger than all of us, and Brianne is confirmed. Chauncey Gardners that was the name of some of this. I'm pretty sure behind the glass Brianne just dabbed there too. Yeah, hard dab because we don't soft dab on the show,
nothing but the firmest of dabs. She's got dabn fever. I don't even know what that means, but I like sound everything. Charge available at famba dot com.

Many of whom are available on the waiver wire will tell you who they are when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Take a chance on It's it's three. Duface is here to try to help you
find duface is. I am do FI number one Paul Charchy and you can find me a Twitter at Paul Charchy and I'm with Matt Harrison and that is at explosive output and Brian Johnson at b T x J. Nine players not normally in your lineup, so many of whom are available on the waiver wire. Take a chance on me. We begin at the quarterback position. Brian, who you got? I'm getting grimy today and we're starting with since he's Ryan Finley at the Raiders. Uh, Finley likely
not really good, but he's okay. He had one and a half touchdowns against Baltimore last week. I'm giving my hat touchdown. I'm the twenty two rushing yards he had. That's about two points, so U this is a much better matchup for Finley though Oakland is top eight an opponent passing play percentage at home, and since he has the highest passing play percentage on the road, passing the ball seventy three percent of the time on the road.
Oakland secondary has been in shambles all season. Now, Starting corner Trayvon Mullen very questionable. Starting free safety LaMarcus Joyner is doubtful to play. And this game has the high third highest over under of the weekend, and there's gonna be precious garbage time. And I'm not done pimping the Bengals yet, all right, So that's just just the beginning of your Bengal pimping. The madness is just popping the Bengal pim That's what I think. Let's let's sounded like
to me, I hear what I want to hear. I guess uh, let's go to your quarterback. What is it with you? I don't I would not recommend trying to pop a Bengals pimple, either a player or the animal. No, both correct. Certainly not Myles Garrett. I've got a guy who's probably on most rosters, but he's probably sitting on the bench in most leagues, and that's Kyler Murray. Uh. You might see Murray going up against that big red number one defense this week and be poised to put
him on your bench, but not so fast. Murray has multiple touchdown passes and three of his last five games offers a nice rushing floor of about thirty five yards per game, which is what he's averaging over the last few weeks. That's similar to about a touchdown pass in most league formats. Plus, he played that these Niners two weeks ago. He's stuck with them. They only lost by three. The key came up with two forty one yards and
two scores with thirty four yards on the ground. The Niners have been good against the quarterbacks they faced, which includes such stalwarts as Andy Dalton, Mason, Rudolph Baker, may Field, Jared goff case Keenum, and Kyle Allen. Yeah, I'm including Jared goff in there. These are bad quarterbacks. Is Kyler Murray not in that group? No, Because he's Kyler Murray, he's good. Um. The Niners have lost two key defensive
pieces in the last two weeks to injury. His pass rusher Ronald Blair and linebacker Kwan Alexander both hit I R So like Kyler Murray sneaky spot here? That would be sneaky. You know who's a good quarterback? Nope, Kyle Allen is a good quarterback. He is. He is. He's coming off his best game as a problem watching that game, going you know what this kid can play. I just had him in the list of bad quarterback. He's he's
a good quarterback. He the kid, he really ken. He's got it whatever it is that a quarterback has to have, that intangible thing. Kyle Allen's got some of it. I don't know. He's a little talent moxy he's got. He's got boxy chutzpaw. Do you know what he's got. Kyle Allen's got chutzpaw. He's also facing the Falcons, which helps a lot. You don't have to be that good now. I know they just shout out Drew Braids, but let's
take a longer view of the Falcons. Prior to that, six straight games with multiple touchdowns are gonna give up multiple touchdowns. Here included in that group of multiple touchdown games alleged great quarterback Kyler Murray, Jared Goff, Jacoby Brissette, and Marcus Mariota. Since benched, Kyle Allen might take a chance, I mean quarterback. Let's go to the running back position.
Brian back to the Bengals in Geo Bernard at the same Raiders h Geo was working his way into essentially at a time share when it comes to snaps with Joe Mixon, but he left lat last week's game against Baltimore with an injury not listed on the injury report this week, so Geo will be back in action against the Raiders, who over their last six games, have conceded six receptions per game to opposing running backs, who have
also totaled five receiving touchdowns during that same span. So Geo Bernard another Bengal who's gonna mop up in garbage time? All right, I got Raheem must Ert. Matt Brito looks like he's missing this game with an ankle injury. Brita did lead the San Francisco running backs and touches last week uh most are Ted had seven during that game. Actually, he should fill into breed a spot, as the Niners have done before an injury occurs in their backfield. They just kind of slide the next guy in and he
takes over the touches. Well. Since Tevin Coleman returned, Brita's averaging thirteen and a half touches per game. So I put mostart on something close to maybe fifteen touches in this game. Could be um Now he's also you know, he, he's he may be shaping up as a game time decision, and then you could pivot to Jeff Wilson because it is next It is next man up. Zonas allowed five
touchdowns to the position in the last four games. Have you given up twenty seven receptions to the position in the last three I can't believe you just most are debated on air. I can't believe you squeezed all the pus out of the Bengals, or so we think. Yeah, I don't. I can't remember the last time I had to take a chance on me running back inside my top ten at the position, but I do. This week, Brian Hill starting running back Atlanta Falcons, going up against Carolina,
probably the worst running back defense in the league. Now you need to know Devon Freeman's out, you know Smith's and I are. Brian Hill got twenty carries in relief last week twenty. They have no problem giving him the ball a lot, and Carolina over the past four games has given up twelve running back touchdowns. That's a full season for many teams. In the NFL, Panthers have done that. In the last month. The last six runners to face Carolina have averaged at least four point seven yards per
carry on the ground. Accepting Peyton Barber, you think they'd been good like having to go up against Christian McCaffrey and practice every day. It doesn't work that way. Doesn't know, Brian Hill might take a chance of me running back, Brian Johnson. Let's go to the receiver position. Who you got? Is this the first time in the history of the show that we're going full on stack. I think it's gonna take ans on me because the first time somebody has been so lazy that they did not hold all
three guys out of the same team. Listen, you daily players, go over to fan ball dot com. I got your basement value garbage time stack here, and it's finishing off with Audentate of the Bengals. Of course, at the Raiders, no way A J. Green's playing this week, so Tate remains in the starting lineup. And since week three, when Tate became a starter, he's thirteenth among all wide receivers and targets and top twenty five yards. And the Raiders
secondary is absolute trash. Outside the two injuries I mentioned earlier, you know they've lost players to i R. They traded their best quarterback, Garon Connelly, so Audent Tate completes the Bengal stack for me. Heaven helped me Matt take a chance of receiver. I've got Randall Cobb. Cob has been targeted eight times and caught six balls in each of the last two weeks. Last week, he led the Cowboys
with a hundred and six yards in a score. This week, he faces a terrible Detroit defense that has been roasted by slot receivers as of recent uh. They gave of up touchdowns and each of the last two weeks to Taylor Gabriel and Hunter Renfrow. And they gave up eight catches for eighty five yards to Golden Tate the week before and two touchdowns to the combo of Adam Theelan and B. C. Johnson the week before that. Randall Cobb,
I've got Curtis Samuel. Normally I don't go with somebody who's so well rosters, but Curtis Samuel's got the Falcons already told you all. Like Kyle Allen, he actually leads the Panthers in red zone targets from Kyle Allen. He's had eight of them so far. He turned eight turned half of those into touchdowns. He faces a Falcon secondary that over the last three games has allowed one hundred seventy yards per game to receivers and has allowed one
hundred yard receiving performances in back to back games. Curtis Samuel absolutely startable for fantasy owners. Let's say we can sneak in one more matchup, Brian. We've we've already mined in many ways this this Atlantic Carolina matchup with some of the players I've already talked about here because all three of mine came out of the same game. Uh, two on the two on the Carolina side, one on the Land side. I've already told people about Brian Hill.
Tell people about the Falcons passing attack against Carolina where it's a lot trickier. Well yeah, well it's very tricky if Matt Ryan doesn't play with this ankle injury. But I'm gonna assume he's playing. We'll go forward with he'll play. So I'm gonna give Ryan a b has top three yards and or throwing multiple touchdowns and seven straight games
against the Panthers. The Panthers haven't allowed more than two passing touchdowns to a single quarterback all year, and they just blanked Aaron Rodgers without their best corner James Bradberry last week. So I'm a little worried about Ryan re interested the ankle. It's a bad matchup. No, Austin Hooper, Well, yeah, so Matt Ryan, I'll give him a very very soft be here. Uh, Julio Jones, I'll give him an a
I'm almost leaning be here. Julio has had some monster games against the Panthers in the past, but he hasn't topped the hundred yards against them since November, only total nine catches for nine two yards, and the two games against them last year, he did score a touchdown in the later game. James brad But what about this part? If Hooper's out and Hooper has been siphoning off all the touchdowns and here Julio hasn't scored and I don't
know forever, but it's certainly Yeah. The absence of Hooper and DeVante Freeman too, by the way, opens up thirty percent of Atlanta's target share, so certainly bodes well for Julio Ridley too, and yeah, definitely Ridley um Dante Jackson questionable with the hip injury. Bradbury might come back. He's the better corner, but if Jackson doesn't play, that bodes well for both. So I'm giving Julio the A and I'll give Ridley a b. Uh. He scored in both
meetings with Carolina last season. The Panthers are allowing more than two yards per game to wide receivers over the last five weeks. Mentioned Austin Hooper is out for about a month, which really sucks. I'm not going by way of Luke Stocker though, but he's the guy up but deep tight end leagues, I guess go grab Stocker. Really he did. Let's not let and Brian Hill. Your take a chance on me running back chart On the Carolina side, I think I'll take a chance on Christian McCaffrey and
this one. Uh. Surprisingly only one touchdown in four games against Atlanta and became in their first meeting. But last year he had combo yard totals of one seventy eight and one thirty nine and those came on twelve and four team catch performances. Che So yeah, you're playing McCaffrey. You're definitely playing DJ more too. He and Kyle Allen are really starting to click. Double digit targets and back to back games, and Atlanta has allowed a one hundred
yard receiver and back to back games. So big day for my boy d J. Moore, and this one could be a big day for Curtis Samuel as well. Charges take a chance on me wide receiver. Maybe even a big day for Greg Olsen. Shockingly, just one touchdown in his last seven games against Atlanta, but that's kind of ancient history because he didn't play last year, so I'm not too concerned about that. And tight end is such a waste land that Olsen is certainly viable coming off
a big game in Green Bay last week. Atlanta has given up four tight end touchdowns over the last five games, and an opposing loan tight end has seen ten targets and two of the Falcons last three, so tight ends are involved. And then Kyle Allen, who is take a chance, I mean quarterbacks, arches, take chance on the quarterback Bengals. You game stacked, okay, Cam, No, you know, at least I took two of my three guys, were only two of my three were so the same, They're all from
the same game. I would go fanball and uh superplex Kyle Allen and Ryan Finley and then throw in all the Bengals. Why can't I play daily fantasy auctions? You can do that. You both you love auction in the preseason. Why wouldn't you love auctioning for this weekend's games? The family auctions fast paced, frantic, incredibly fun as you've been on four players simultaneously against your opponents, and you might even win a little bit of money while you're having
all that fun Fanball auctions. Coming up next on Fantasy Football Weekly, we will break down more matchups, including Jacksonville at Indianapolis. The return of Nick Foles will tell you what to expect when we return to Fantasy Football Weekly. Fulcome back Fantasy Football Weekly on Well church In my co host of Brian Johnson and Matt Harrison for Fambile
dot Com. You can hear us over the are in many stations around the country, and this show is also a podcast available every Friday on every major podcasting platform, including the number one destination for podcasts, Hi Heart Radio. Jacksonville takes on Indianapolis, Nick Foles back under center. It's been every quarter since quarter one of the priests of the regular season, since we've seen Nick Foles. Over the past five weeks, the Colt rank number one in passing
touchdowns allowed and number six and passing yards allowed. Nick Foles comes in rusty having missed ten weeks. So we'll roll all that together and we're gonna bench Nick Foles, And that means that I'm not about any of his receivers. The only one I'll bother to talk about here is DJ Chark, who gets a cautious C grade. He's looked lost in the last four games, scoring just once and
topping fifty three yards just one time. Remember how good things were rolling for d J. Chark for a long That was with Minshew though, and and Foals was always talked about in the preseason. I remember the preseason shows how we were saying Folds really likes to target the slot in d. D. Westbrook is set for a huge year. I'm really interested in d. D. Westbrook is a long
term pick up. The rest of their schedules great. By the way, after this week, the cold secondary has been great, yielding just one score to opposing receivers in their last four games, tied for the fewest over that last month, and they've been doing so impressively without the probably their best corner, Pierre to see Her, who will likely miss this game as well. Apparently they don't need him. Um. Remember by the way in that quarter of play that
falls had touchdown too dj hr uh. The only other, the only the Jaguar you likely care about is Leo four Nette, and he gets a B grade. India is not allowed one hundred yard rusher all season, and they're allowing the seventh fewest rushing yards per game over the
last five weeks. For Net has only played two games against the Colts in his career and was held under three yards per carrying both outings, but did manage to score in both, which is sort of the flip of this year where's getting a lot of yards but not a lot of touchdowns. I think one way another he cobbles his way to a B worthy grade. Let's flip over to the cold side where we get Jacobe Percet back,
which is great. Um, But like Brian Hoyer last Sunday, he's gonna be without t Y Hilton and Paris Campbell's two best wide receivers. Did you guys happen to have the unfortunate, um, unfortunate I guess happenstance to run into the picture of Paris Campbell's hand. Oh god, it's gruesome. I really really encourage you to not look at the picture of of of Paris Campbell's hand. I'm looking right now. He told me not to do something. I'm gonna do it.
Oh it is not it's not pretty. The Jaguars are allowing barely one touchdown per game to wide receivers, and much of those, or what passing touchdowns overall, much of those are going to tight ends. That's your glimmer of hope with present really is his tight ends. Ebron and Doyle, Uh, they give up a they face the Jaguars defense. That's a lot of five tight end scores in the last five games. So I've got C grades on both Ebron and Doyle. Most weeks Ebron only gets a couple of targets,
but maybe turns that into a touchdown. Last week, that's flipped. That script flipped, but that was a Hoyer game, and God only knows. I still think together they represent the best chance for a touchdown. But you're at a kind of a coin flip between the two of them, for which one may do better. They we do care a little bit about Zach Pascal, although I think you got picked up in a bunch of leagues a couple of weeks ago. They got dropped in all those leagues last week.
Jaguars have only allowed two wide receivers scores since the opener. Think about that, only two wide receivers have scored against the Jaguars since the opener, like four weeks ago. Ahead. Uh, that was like Patrick Mahomes they faced in the opener, by the way, right, that's a pretty good excuse. Marlon Mack has received at least eighteen carries in five straight games, and that volume will come in handy against Jacksonville. They have allowed at least ninety yards all three times at
back has received at least eighteen carries. So if he's gonna be if he's got at least eighteen carries in five straight you hope he gets to the ninety yards.
Mac has never scored. He has never top fifty yards in four career games against the Jaguars, though, But let me mention this backup Jordan Wilkins may not play with an ankle injury that could force even more use to Marlon Mack And if he's out and you really want to do you really need a dart throw in a bye week now, you Hines, I think becomes quasi serviceable if Jordan Wilkins is in fact out for this game. Let's go to our next matchup, which is Dallas taking
on Detroit. Matt Dallas Cowboys were unable to get Ezekiel Elliott going last week against the Vikings. I don't think they're gonna have any trouble this week against Detroit. I mean, is Zeke like, do you feel like Zeke's having a good year? It seems bad, But that was the first game of the year last Sunday. Of the nine games he's played in which he did not top a hundred rushing yards or score in the game, he just hasn't.
It's just been like quietly consistent. It's y in a touchdown or a hundred and ten yards and no score. It just it hasn't all come together for Zeke. Um. You said Carolina's run defense was the worst in the league. I see you a Carolina and raise you at Detroit, um they have allowed a hundred and twenty rushing yards per game to the position over the last five weeks. Plus, opposing backs are averaging a rushing touchdown per game easy for Zeke uh decks and easy a as well, Deck's
coming off and three against the Vikings. Plus the Lions have given up fifteen touchdown passes in their last five games, including and are you ready for this charge? Get your get your mouth's ready three last week too happy Trombone Ski. Yeah he's back, He's back. Amari Cooper, he gets an easy a. Michael Gallup as a B and Randall Cobb was might take a chance on me wide receiver. The Cowboys wide receiver group is leading the NFL in yards
per game at two or twenty three per game. Uh Cooper mrs practice or two every week with a nagging injury, but he plays every time. Gallup has sixteen targets over his last two has reached paydirt in each contest. Darius Slay is still injured and he's been burned for eight point nine yards per target this season. You know, I think we have a sleigh ride button on there too. The sleigh ride is very jolly right now. It's just
like that. Um. The Lions are bottom half in the league in receptions, yards, and touchdowns allowed to the wide receiver position. Jason Witten even gets a C in this grade. I don't really trust Whitton overall, as he hasn't scored since Week two. He could get off the schneide here, though, as the Lions have allowed a tight end touchdown in four straight games. I'm still worried that Blake Jarwin vultures that sucker in this one. Though. On the other side,
I'm giving Jeff Driskell a Sea grade. I probably should have used him as might take a chance on the quarterback as a bonus one. Um Stafford has been ruled out again with a back injury. It's possible he may miss the rest of the season. Um Stafford's a sneaky sabotage drop. By the way, After this week, the Lions get Washington, who's surprisingly good against the past Chicago Minnesota. They get Tampa in week fifteen, and then Denver in Week sixteen, so there's only one good matchup the rest
of the way for Detroit. Well that Tampa matchup. UH driskll through forty six times last week in Chicago. That's more attempts than Stafford had all season. He did run for a team high thirty seven yards last week too. He's their best runner. Um, considering the disaster, there's a lion's backfield right now. He might do that again. He has four five combine speed, so that's not terrible out of Jeff Driskell. Alright, but maybe he'll run his way
to fantasy roll. He might. Uh. Ty Johnson looks like he's gonna miss this week with a concussion, meaning Paul Perkins and j. D. Mckissic will split reps. Kissing at sixteen touches last week, including six receptions, only managed forty five yards. Uh. He's been burning me on take a chance on me, So you've got to be done with I'm done with mckissic and Perkins. They're both on your bench. Golladay gets a C grade, Danny m and Dola and
Marvin Jones are on the bench. Uh. Driskoll's targets were pretty even last week, nine at Golladay, eight at Am and Dola six at Jones. But the Cowboys have been legit against wide receivers this year though. Their top seven in receptions, yards and touchdowns allowed to the position, and they've held every receiver they faced in the last three games under fifty yards. That includes al Shan, Golden Tate, and Steph digs Uh. T J. Hockinson, though he's might
B grade in this game. Hockinson is my favorite cheap tight end plan fan ball this week and only four thousand dollars. The Vikings tight ends combined for nine catches, forty eight yards and two scores and a two point conversion last week. Dallas has allowed the third most receptions, fourth most yards, and fourth most touchdowns to the tight end position this season. I like t J. Hockenson in this one. He's kind of gone off on those easy matchup games so far this season. All Right, Houston takes
on Baltimore. Brian Um, there's a tough matchup for you know, you're you're used to starting a lot of Houston players, you just automatically put them in your lineup. It's a tough matchup against a Baltimore defense that seems to be improving almost on a weekly basis. What do you think about some of the star players, including Watson and Hopkins this week? Why couldn't the NFL figure out how to
get this game on Sunday Night? Football. By the way, you know, Chicago is the third biggest city and the Rams of the second biggest city. Let's see how many of them actually watch the game. Anyway, over to this game, as you said, tough guys to sit on the Houston side, starting with the Andre Hopkins gonna give him an a even though now that Jimmy Smith is back in the
fold for Baltimore, that secondary is very scary. Over their last five games, only one wide out has topped ninety yards and it was my boy, Audent Tate who did it. Got Hopkins as certainly has a chance to top ninety yards in any matchup. You're not benching him, no way. I am benching Will Fuller if he makes his return
from a hamstring injury. It's looking sort of likely and you can see a full game from Fuller before you trust putting him in a lot and you're lining up and this is a very bad matchup and I'm not. I'm not starting Kenny Stills if Fuller where to sit. I'm also benching Darren Fells even though he's tied for the tight end touchdown lead and has more combined touchdowns, and Travis Kelsey and Zach Ertz. How about that, But no tight end has more touchdowns in the last six
games than Darren Fells. It's insane, But this is a bad matchup for Fells as well. Baltimore hasn't allowed a tight end to top thirty four yards over the past five weeks, while also only surrendering one score to the position over that span. There are better options at tight end this week than Fells. To Shaun Watson, gonna give him a b. Only Patty Mahomes has thrown for more than one touchdown and this defense practically gets better every week.
Uh and Watson can run, of course, but Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson only total thirty one yards on the ground against the Ravens. So just to be for Watson and to see for Carlos Hide, there has been just four running backs we've reached double digit carries against Baltimore and just two running backs who topped sixty five yards on the ground. So not a great matchup for Hyde. Over to Lamar Jackson, this is a great matchup Jackson matchup.
They're saying Jackson could score more fantasy points. He's on pace to score more fantasy points and Patrick Mahomes had last year not throw for more touchdowns. Of course, facts rushing, it's it's absolutely insane um Don rookie quarterbacks and that's basically Gardner Minshew and Kyle Allen are averaging seventeen yards and two point eight passing touchdowns against the Texans this year and Houston has not been tested on the ground
by a quarterback yet either. Gardner Minshew might be the best rushing quarterback they faced, and he had six carries for fifty six yards. So yeah, I mean that's part of the beauty of Lamar Jackson, my number one ranked quarterback this week is even if he doesn't run, he can pass you to a big game. And even if he doesn't pass, he can run you to a big game. And he might do both. Just an absolute beast. Hollywood Brown Marky's Brown returned to practice on Friday, so it's
looking like he'll play a great matchup for him. Of course, Houston secondary is awful. They are allowing one point nine PPR points her target this season. That's crazy. You don't even have to complete a pass to be a target. Uh for that reason, we have well, we have to mention Myles Boykin I was gonna give him Brown's b if Brown sits, But Brown looks like he's gonna play. So I'm gonna bench Boykin just because Baltimore doesn't pass
a ton. But here's the angle on Willie Snead. Really, if Bradley Roby sits like did last week, that would put Cornell Armstrong back to man the slot. Cornell Armstrong has played a hundred and sixteen snaps in his short two year career. He's given up twelve of fourteen completions for a hundred and seventy four yards and two touchdowns. Armstrong Armstrong. So Bradley Roby is out. Willie Snead on fanball, get to it, uh real quickly? Mark Andrews a b
for him. Tough matchup for him for him. The Texans surrender just two scores to tight ends all season. Austin Hooper is the only tight end to top four catches against the Texans so far this year, and then Mark Ingram gets a b. Uh. Actually, I'm gonna give him a hard seat. Texans are tough against the run. Over the last five games, only Josh Jacobs has top fifty rushing yards, and no running back has scored Houston is also allowing the fifth least yards per carry over the
last three games at three point six. All right, well done, well done. Coming up next, let's answer three tough questions you can play along try to go with perfect three and oh on Fantasy Football Weekly. It's Fantasy Football Weekly on Paul Archie and Famil dot com. My co host Brian Johnson, Matt Harrison, Boys, it is time four three tough questions. Tough question Number one, Should David Wunson owners sabotage drop him? Now, there's a reminder for people have
not heard this before. Sabotage drop is it's a drop, but it's a drop of a big name player that people are going to Your opponents will pick up and then try to find value in but there's no value to be had and they're just wasting roster spots and
potentially wasting starting spots. And and to maximize the value on the sabotage drop, you drop him right before the fab run happens, and you drop it before so people either have to use a lot of their fab budget or they have to use their top waiver priority correct doing it like on Friday, It's two easy. You don't have to give anything up to go get him. You're
not doing it. Do you want to do it? Like Sunday or Monday is the time that you drop David Johnson if if you were to decide to do that, Tuesday, Tuesday at noon is when you drop him. That's exactly what you think, Tuesday at noon. Yeah, I think that you should sabotage drop him. Yeah alright, well go ahead and explain your rationale. Um, he's got to buy next week, so he's reason to believe he's not gonna get any points next week. Um. Then he has matchups against the Rams.
That's a bad matchup. Pittsburgh, that's a bad matchup. And then in week fifteen and sixteen, just kind of middle of the pack matchups against Cleveland and then at Seattle, especially with Kenyan Drake kind of being anointed as now the starter there. And I don't know if you saw this going around on Twitter, the video of David Johnson just walking into defenders and and looking like he has nothing left in the tank. You mean David the refrigerator Johnson.
He's taking over William Perry's name. Wow. Uh Yeah, I think it's time to sabotage drop David Johnson, get rid of him, Brian, Yeah, I don't have much to add. Yeah, if you watched him play last week, he was the epitome of plotting for David Johnson. And on Friday he was running with the twos when Kenyan Drake was running with the ones. They said he looked good in practice on Friday. That's because he's running with the twos. I could look at running instit twus and practice and Matt
alluded to the schedule. According to Fantasy Pros, it's the third hardest remaining schedule for a running back behind a very good offensive line. So yeah, drop him now, well not now at the right time. Yeah, drop him Tuesday. Tuesday in apparently I think Monday works fine. Um, he might not have value. He's probably still locked on Monday because the games aren't done for the week. Yeah, well that's that's probably well. But in many leagues you can
still drop a guy. It depends on your system. I guess, um, when Chase Edmond comes to, Chase Edmonds comes back, David Johnson might be third in the pecking orde. I mean, there's no guarantee. He's just second in the packing order. I agree with everything you guys said in fact, but I want to get a bonus question. What about Dynasty and Empire League ers? Are you dropping David Johnson outright? No, he's got enough value still that you just you just
can't do that. You could trade him for something, can you? Though? Yeah, this is the all time low water mark for trading. I would probably go to anybody in the league and be like, I'll take a draft pick for David Johnson. Give me, give me a first or second next to hear any draft pick for David Johnson. Let's roll. Remember the last time he was good sixteen. He's had one good season one. These are there's a lot of people this this is so. This reminds me of the Josh
Gordon thing, as people reliving with Josh Gordon. I think there's serious question about whether David Johnson, however, has any value whatsoever for the remainder of his cares. I definitely don't want him on my roster. I don't either. I don't even want him on yours. Tough question number two in many leaks, the trade deadline is this weekend. Should say Kwon Barkley owners trade him now while they can? Brian, Well, you should never sell a player at his lowest points.
And I don't know if there's a point lower than coming off a thirteen carry for one yard performance last week k Barkley had against the Jets. So you're not going to get fair return for Barkley. And he's not a bye this week, which is no good. At Chicago next week that's not very good. He there Green Bay is a good matchup, but then at Philly is bad. But then you know, we'll say the Red Sea parts in the playoffs weeks fifteen and sixteen Miami and at Washington.
I don't care if you get a package of three or you'd have to be a monster package. But you're not gonna get it. That's what she said. But sorry or myself laughter, I didn't play on doing that. I'm sorry. No, I'm not trading, all right. Brian alluded to the schedule, and I think that that's that's the thing. In the last four weeks, three of the four matchups are really good. And I'm really not that afraid of him going up
against Philly. He's going to be the the top target in that game, and I think Philly can give up some some points to pass catching backs like Sa Kwan. You really need to get it insane haul to get anything for Sa Kwan right now. So no, I'm not trading him. No, you're both wrong. And most leagues Barkley owners are in bad shape between the ankle injury that knocked him out and then the middle n performances since coming back. Most Barkley owners aren't trouble right now. They
need to win now. They cannot afford the zero points this week and the at Chicago next week. What's more. What's more, that playoff schedule that seems so easy is suddenly turning to be really tricky. Philadelphia has been good against the run all year long, Miami is suddenly turning into a competent run defense, and Washington is actually like a top five run defense quietly. So it's not it feels easy because these are floundering teams. But that's not an easy schedule you need to get out of. Sae
Kwon Barkley. Now, his name value carries a lot of cash. A you're going to get a Derrick Henry or a Leonard four net from some owner who's heading to the playoffs and thinks and he sees Philly, Miami, Washington in the playoffs, and he's like, say, Kwon Barkley is gonna lead me to the promised Land. He may not be. You make that trade now, tough. Question number three, are you holding a roster spot for Matt Brida? Matt, you know this one caused a little bit of damage to
my amygdala. I hate it when my amygdala gets damaged because, um, a visible bulge is known when that happens, is just happy to see me. It might be both. Uh Themigdala helps me respond to emotions, memories and fear, and uh, I'm very fearful for Matt. Matt Brita's remainder of the season. He has dinged up right now after this week and he's been I think ruled out this week. Um, he gets a good matchup against Green Bay next week, but who knows if he's healthy for next week's game two.
Then after that it's awful at Baltimore, at New Orleans and the Rams in week sixteen are all bad matchups. Atlanta's kind of the middle of the road run defense. They're really bad against the past, but mid all the road against the run. So with Brita splitting touches, no, I don't think that you can hold onto him. I'm actually holding him in two leagues, but those are Empire leagues. Draft here, all right. I won't add much to what Matt said other than the Atlanta matchup, which is good.
But that's a revenge game for Tevin Coleman. That game, all right, But I just want to throw one. Matt Breed us that he's the he's been uh clocks is the fastest ball carrier on the single play this season by next Gen stats at twenty two point three miles per hour, faster than Corduill, Patterson, Brandon Wilson, Christian McCaffrey, Nick Chubb, and me Cole Hardman. He's so good, but no, I gotta you gotta drop him in redraft at this point. That's the only thing I was gonna add. He's a
really good player. Hey, Matt Breed is really talented. It's just always constantly hurt and and that match and all that, and Joe Staley out for several weeks with the mutilated finger. For Joe Staley, did you see a picture of his fingers Paris Campbell's hand. Don't do what I'm telling you. It's it's a disaster all for you and three and oh and if you did, congratulations, the panel of experts did very well this week. Congratulations to you guys. You know it's not going to go very well. Jets at
Washington Redskins. Let's talk about it. You know, I just alluded to the fact that Washington was a tricky good run defense. Listen to this, as levy On Bell gets a C grade. Washington has allowed three point nine yards per carry over their last three games, but they've also seen the most attempts, so they've actually given up the second most yards over that time. But it takes a lot of attempts to get there. The hope here is
that levy On Bell will get the attempts. But he's eclipse three and a half yards per carry just twice all year. He put up one point nine yards per carry last week on a bad knee. I don't like him much here at all. It just the C grade on Bell, between the the shockingly surprisingly difficult matchup and the the odd ball usage and his general in effectiveness.
So let's go to the passing game, where I've got C grades on a couple of guys, beginning with Sam Donald, and I would love to endorse Sam Donald in eight seemingly easy matchup against Washington. But how can I when he has failed fantasy owners the past two weeks against similarly easy secondaries the Dolphins and the Giants, just one score in both of those games. And actually, you'll notice I said the words seemingly the Redskins secondary has actually
played much better of late. Over the past month of games, they've allowed just two hundred three yards and half a touchdown per game. Suggest the C grade on Sam Donald, C grade on Robbie Anderson. He faces a Washington secondary of one excellent cornerback, Quentin Dunbar, and one lousy one
Josh Norman. Historically, Robbie Anderson runs on Quinton Dunbar side more often, but it'll be on Norman's side enough to give him a C grade here, Uh, Anderson is fast, Josh Norman is among the slowest starting cornerbacks in the league, so maybe he's got a chance to add a deep catcher two. Here, we'll try Robbie Anderson as a C grade. Let's go to the Washington side, where I've got two
guys with the starting grade, beginning with Adrian Peterson. In the four games under Bill Callahan, Peterson averaging nineties six yards per game in five yards per carry. This is the best stretch of running since the middle of the twenty fifteen season for Adrian Peterson. New York has allowed the fourth fewest rushing yards to running backs, though they've been quietly great all year long. The Jets have held all running backs to three yards per carry on the season.
So just the C grade for Adrian Peterson. What about Darius Guys. You made ask who will be active for this game, and he will see the field. I think he gets used sparingly in this game, and the Redskins will slowly use him more and more over the course of the season, so that by the end of the year they know if Darius Guys is a guy they want to go with next year, or if that's a spot they have to fill. But I don't think it
starts here in his first game back. Well, and actually his first ever NFL game was it would be outside of the game one where he got hurt. He he got some run this year. Yeah, it will one. Yeah. And then lastly, Terry mclauren, Terry McLaren, Darius it is
over come the many. I think he will potentially overcome the many shortcomings of his rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins, but he faces a jet secondary that over the last three weeks has allowed ten receiver touchdowns over three weeks, which is great, and that was coming from Gardner Minshew and Ryan Fitzpatrick and Daniel Jones are not great passers. Uh make Lauren overwhelmingly plays from the left side of the field, where he faces cornerback Arthur Mullett. You made that name
up an undrafted journeyman who has two career starts. So we will try Terry McLaurin with a C grade. He's been very quiet for a month, but I think this might be the opportunity. UM, I'm sorry, I was looking at mutilated hands. Did you grade Jamison Crowder? I did not, Thank you, Jamison. I have whole paragraph on him. Jamison Crowder is now notched at least eighty yards and a
score in two straight games. He runs from this lot seventy percent of the time where he faces Redskins slot cornerback Fabian Moreau, who's allowed in eighty eight percent catch rate but no scores. So I do think we're looking at a PPR style game from Crowder. Which is what you usually get in the seven eight catch eighty yard range. He gets a c gre just not a sheer spite. He's going to get in the end zone though, because
he's mad at washingting revenge. You know much, you got paid by the Jets of some obscene amounts, so he's there. Really shouldn't be a lot of revenge, even if you want it. What would revenge sound sound like? The psychos? It's the only thing I have in the soundbar that we don't know. It's it's the revenge duck. No revenge duck. I love it. The revenge duck. Well, let's see if we can turn that into something some reoccurring bit on
this show, because because we're stupid, it's every week. You can play the Crushed Church Championship for free at famball dot com. When you assemble a better salary cap team than mine, you get a shot at this week's prize pool of one thousand dollars. But more importantly, beating me is the only way to get an entry into our week seventeen Championship, where you will battle me for the one ten dollar prize pool. Famball dot com slash chart

We'll tell you when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Fantasy Football Weekly returns were diving back into matchups. But first, did you know you can play super flex salary cap at fambile dot com if you love starting two quarterbacks
or four tight ends and nobody loves starting. Uh, this is quite the year for that to start one and having be four thousand. Go to fanball dot com play our salary cap super Flex d f s at family dot com. Okay, let's jump back into matchups. Arizona takes on San Francisco. Matt, we already talked about a lot of players we like at various levels. Here Christian Kirk coming off a three touchdown game. You liked Kyler Murray and you used him as you take a chance, I
mean quarterback. What do you think about Christian Kirk coming off the big performance? I gave him a B grade, mostly because the Cardinals sneakily have moved Christian Kirk. He's no longer a slot receiver. They've been pushing him to the perimeter more and more, where you can really gouge this Niners defense. Dk Metcalf had six catches for seventy last week. Andy Isabella had the a d R touchdown catch the week before, uh and John Ross had one twelve and a score from the perimeter to earlier in
the season. Kirk was finally healthy last week. It showed up in a big way with the three scores on ten targets. I'm only given Larry Fitzgerald to see because his average depth of target is only five point three yards. Compare that with Christian Kirk, who's at fourteen and a half. It's almost ten yards more. Uh So FitzGeralds is not getting deep enough to make a big difference. He only managed four catches for thirty eight in the meeting two
weeks ago against the Niners. Um The running back situation is gross. Chase Edmonds is probably not going to play with the hamstring injury. Cliff Kingsbury indicated that Kenyan Drake will remain the lead back this week, although that meant a snap count in favor of Kenyan Drake, so David Johnson still eating into these touches here. I don't know, maybe that doesn't continue. Maybe they just pulled a plug on the whole David Johnson experiment. I gotta pull the
plug on the whole running game this week. They're all on the bench. It's not enough for me to want to start either of these guys against the Niners defense that's done a great job against the run this year. Their top ten in attempts, touchdowns, receptions, and receiving yards allowed to running backs. They've only allowed eighty seven rushing yards per game to the position. That's just not enough to split. On the other side, you mentioned Jimmy g
coming out of the last segment. He gets an a gre He's just a weak remove from three seventeen and four scores against the Cardinals, four of the last five to face Arizona have topped three. Three of those four have thrown for three or more touchdowns. Unfortunately, we have some receiver issues. George Kittle is trending toward out again, which means Ross Dwelly his backup is kind of worth
a c start. Because it's Arizona. That's the only reason it's it's a it's a it's a week try in you're a sixteen team league where you need to start a tight end dwell. He had seven targets last week against Seattle, and he gets Arizona this week. Uh. They've already allowed ten touchdowns to the position this season, putting him in my four tight end lineup on fan ball where it is. Emmanuel Sanders is also trending towards not playing. He didn't practice again today. Um, he hasn't practiced it
all this week with a rib injury. Uh. He did participate in the walk through, though, he's a true game time decision. He gets a C grade if he plays. I'm giving Deebo Samuel a B grade and a stat from Kate. I'm gonna butcher her last name Majusic h f f ball Blast on Twitter. That's that's her Twitter handle, f ball Blast. She's a good follow. You should follow her. Patrick Peterson in Uh, he's allowing fourteen point nine yards per reception. That's a career high seventy one yards per game.
That's a career high, seventy nine point to catch rate career high, and a passer rating of one point four when targeted. Deebo led the team with eleven targets last week. He's also had five red zone targets in the last three weeks. Nobody's scared of Arizona, even Pat Pete anymore. Arizona has allowed a league high seventeen red zone receiving touchdowns this year. That's where Debo comes into play. I think he's gonna score for sure this week. So I
like Deebo quite a bit. What's the great on Deebo? Samuel b a bibo on Deebo? Uh. Tevin Coleman gets a B grade Raheem Mostert was might take a chance on the runner. Coleman abby gets all the goal line work and is very involved in the passing game, as I mentioned, to take a chance of the cards to have been gouged by pass catching backs as of late, allowing nine receptions per game uh and about two hundred
yards and a score just the last three weeks. And those weren't backs that are known for their pass catching prowess. That was Latavious Murray and Ronald Jones. So Tevin Coleman's got a good shot to put up a huge day in PBR. Yeah, I'm closer to an A on Tevin. You're probably right with frieda out. I could be convinced. Alright, New England takes on Philadelphia. That's our next matchup here, I'm in correct about that being your next No, it's yeah, No,
it is Cincinnati and Oakland is our next matchup. You already told us everybody to set up since what about is likely only starter you haven't mentioned from Cincinnati already, and to take a chance of the segment. Tyler Boyd has something to say about that, but I'll start with Joe Mixon. Uh, We're finally working on a Bill cow role last week, but that was because Gio Bernard left the game with an injury. Geo not on the injury report this week, and that was because they were killing clock.
Yes deficit, they didn't, they were just trying to leave the I think it was the Cardinals that did that last year against Seattle. They're losing by and they just kept Yeah. Anyway, the Raiders have been tough against opposing running backs, but Chargers backs did rack up a hundred eighty one combo yards and two touchdowns last Thursday night against Oakland, So I'll give Joe mix In the CEE.
Oakland has surrendered the seventh most running back receptions, and that is why Joe Bernard was gonna take a chance. I mean running back Tyler Boyd. Everyone should take a chance on him this week he gets an a opposing slot. Receivers are averaging ten plus targets, seven plus catches, and eighty eight yards per game and have totaled six touchdowns in Oakland's nine games. You're gonna start five Bengals in
a lineup you're gonna goans won't allow it. For whatever they should, certainly allow me give them my money away. If I'm gonna start all Bengals, but I am starting at in tape. Might take a chance to my wide receiver. I'm not starting to Tyler Eiffort. Even though we scored last week, he only ran twelve pass routes. He's like decomposing. I can't wait for Tyler Efford. Well he does. That means I hit on Ryan Linley. It might take a chance on the quarterback. I just paired him with the
wrong players. But like Linley and this one, it's all about chasing points and garbage time. Here over the Raiders side, it's Josh Jacobs and guess who else is in the room with him. It's the Fantasy Fonzie A for Josh Jacobs. Over the last four games, enemy backs have totaled six touchdowns while averaging a hundred and forty five combo yards against the Bengals, who are conceding thirty touches per game to the position on the season. UH A for Jacobs.
H A for Darren Waller since he sort of appears tough against tight ends on paper, but it's not hard to be tough on tight ends from Arizona, Jacksonville, or Pittsburgh when the only tight end is Nick Finnett who just got off a plane via trade from Seattle. Let's take a look at what the Ravens tight ends have done to the Bengals. That's a fair op, right, Dads. Waller nine and then twelve for one, fifty one and two against the Bengals last week. Waller is gonna smash
this week. It's been a quiet couple of weeks for Waller, but he'll bounce back. Tyroll Williams is gonna give him a b here because because he's touchdown dependent and since he's only yielding the third fewest pass attempts for a game per game, because everybody runs on them with such success. Ye, and so just a be for Williams. I will give hum to Renfrew with c and I was going to use this might take a chance to me receiver, but
it's almost too easy. Per Sports Info Solutions, Cincinnati has given up a hundred nineteen point five passer rating on slot targets. And finally Derek Carr because of the volume concern, just gonna give him a B here um like he has a very safe floor in this matchup though, and
he's gonna have a very clean pocket. Cincinnati is dead last in sacks and quarterback hits Dre Kirkpatrick going on on Friday, So that's it's another reason for some optimism with the with the Oakland passing attack, New England takes on Philadelphia. Guys, this is this one is a little bit thorny. We'll work our way through it. Here. For Tom Brady, a B grade because the Eagle secondary rolled into the bye week having held Josh Allen and Mitch Drabinsky to just one hundred sixty nine and on the
return of Ronald Darby and Avante Mattock definitely helped that secondary. Meanwhile, you know, obviously Tom Brady is a lot better than Josh Allen and Mitch Drobisky, but over the previous month of games for Tom Brady it wasn't that great. He was averaging half a touchdown per game one touchdown, excuse me, one touchdown per game over the previous month of games, almost as many interceptions as touchdowns, by the way, which Tom Brady never does. So just the B grade on
Tom Brady here. Julian Edelman also with a B. Over the last four games, Edelman has commanded over eleven targets per game. He has scored twice well thinks per game
over that last month. The Legal secondary has given up five wide receiver scores in their last four games, but they haven't surrendered a touchdown from the slot since Week two, and that's why Edelman is a B and not an A. The only other startable Patriot I've got is Mohamed Sanu, fresh office first Patriots touchdown, a game in which he notched the most targets and receptions in eighty one games, so obviously getting a lot more action as a Patriot than he ever got as a Falcon. But this matchup
is a little bit trickier. You know. I mentioned Brady with either has tossed zero or one touchdown in three of his last four games. Philadelphia has only allowed two passing touchdowns in the last two games. Um, he'll get a matchup largely against Ronald Darby Derby a gambling corner. We'll see how that works out. For Mohamed Sanu. You could start him in a pinch. Philip door Set on the bench. I'll be interested to see what Nikkil Harry does. We're gonna talk about him a little bit more next
segment as well. Um, but this will be his first opportunity for playing time in this game. We're not gonna start either him or Philip door Set here, Sony Walkman on the bench. They'll be running against a Philly defense that allows three point one yards per carry at home, good for second fewest he's averaging. Michelle averaging just three point four yards per carry. He's failed to top four yards per carry every game but two, and also Rex
Burke had finally healthy. He could really carve into Sony Walkman's role. And as as another side, Michelle doesn't catch any passes, he doesn't have any speed, he doesn't have any footwork, he doesn't have any elusiveness, and he has no power other than that he's a great running back. Let's go to the eagle side starting grades on Jordan's Howard. Get this forty two carries in his last two games. That's the most Doug Peterson has ever given us a single runner in back to back games. To get to
forty two carries, that's impressive. On the season. And by the way Sprawls just went on, I R I didn't want to interrupt in the ji. I mean, but why I don't under why even sign him? There? Under using Miles Sanders as it is, right whatever, j He's just got to be just for a warm body. That's I don't know why else you'd bring him in On the season. New England still technically the stingiest team against fantasy running backs, but more they're given more. Lately, over the last two games,
they've allowed one hundred fifteen or more rushing yards. The last three backs to face the Patriots have all averaged four and a half yards per carry. I think Jordan Howard gets something done and the best way to beat the Patriots is on the ground. Let's go to the passing game where Carson Wentz is on the bench. Your confidence in Wentz has got to be shaken. Over the last three games. He's averaging just two hundred yards and
one touchdown to Sean Jackson. Dead all Shan Jeffrey so slow and injured, and he drops passes and here comes in elite secondary New England. The average passing game against the Patriots just one hundred seventies six yards per game. No quarterbacks topped one yards since Ben Roethlisberger in the opener. It's a disaster start here for Carson Wentz, who buck has to buck a lot of trends. As I already
tipped my hand. I don't like all Shan Jeffrey here, super slow, no separation, dropping balls, and he gives a goes up against a secondary that's allowed one wide receiver score all year. So he's on the bench. Miles Sanders also on the bench. It's worth noting he's only seen three targets in each of the last four games. We think of him sort of like the past catching back,
but he's not even getting that much work there. Sanders has given us a thirty yard or more play in four of his last six games, and that's probably what you need here. But that the Patriots don't give up long games, so it's really it's a bad matchup for him too. He is also on the bench. The only other Eagle worth mentioning is zach Ertz. Here he finally broke out last week with season highs and targets, receptions,
and yards. On paper, the Patriots of smother deposing tight ends, holding them to thirty two yards per game, but the competition is largely been bad and zach Ertz will be the best tight end they faced all year, and they have given up a tight end touchdown and back to back games. So zach ERT's with a B grade. If you're in a real pitch, you could consider Dallas Goddard, but I wouldn't go that low. I think you can probably find more help from other players. Our final topics
are ahead. When we provide you with three guys we believe will be hot waiver wire pick up next week, but you're going to pick them up this week. We'll jump into the time machine for premature speculation happening next.
It is Fantasy Football Weekly. Final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly Premature Speculation, our favorite segment out of all of them, as we try to identify players you want to pick up this week that everybody else will be trying to pick up next week, but blammo and or they're already on your roster. Feels so good, Brian, who's your premature
speculation player this week? I'm gonna go with a bit of a dynasty empire angle here and say you go grab Justin Jackson, the long forgotten running back of the Chargers who look great in the preseason, and the Chargers like him a lot. I think he has the ability to be a starter, maybe even a bell cow. And let's not forget Melvin Gordon, last year of his contract, not guaranteed to resign with l A Austin Ekeler free agent.
Say he doesn't come back all of a sudden, you're sitting on Justin Jackson, who is out there display the deepest dynasty last just available, and you might have a starting running back on your hands come August. Obviously, have to go through the NFL Draft and all that and Gordon and but if you're if you're wallowing away in the dynasty league and you got extra spot, go grab Justin Jackson. I think it's a great I think it's
a great idea. Let's see, I'm I'm sold absolutely all right, Matt, I have got a J. Brown who's top sixty yards or score in three of his last four games, which is basically since Ryan Tannehill took over um. And then he's got this really awesome schedule in the fantasy playoffs, which includes Oakland, who's a bottom five wide receiver fantasy defense, Houston in Week fifteen, who's a bottom five wide receiver fantasy defense, okay, and then New Orleans in Week sixteen,
which isn't awful. It's not great, but if he doesn't get march On Lattimore in that game, if they have a matchups work that way, it's not a bad matchup either. So a J. Brown is worth a pickup. Drew Bennett could maybe even come back. They had the late season blow up. That might be nice. Man. I'll never forget that year. That must have been like two two thousand three. No, it wasn't that long. It was more like ten eleven with Billy Bullick. Yeah, I'll look it up, like, yeah,
please do look that up. I'm gonna I'm gonna go two thousand three for the big Drew Bennett, Miss Lyndale White. Yeah, yeah, I think he also had a really good end of season run with him and run Dane. Some true story about two years ago. Guy comes up to me with a Ron Dane football card with a five dollar bill tucked it tucked into it. It's in a little holder, and he says, I listened to Fantasy Football Weekly. You guys put me onto Ron Dane from my fantasy playoffs
and I wrote him to the championship. So here's a tip. He gave me the five bucks in the card. I've still got it. My premature speculation player is nikkil Harry, as I just alluded to earlier. Remember first round taken in the first round for a team that desperately needs wide receiver help after jettisoning Josh Gordon. He's got the opportunity for a media playing time. He's got Tom Brady
throwing him the ball. He only needs to really overcome very little to make an impact, like Philip Dorset, who they always seem to want to bench. So it doesn't it's maybe it turns out he's an impact outside receiver. They need an impact outside receiver. Maybe they're gonna try and to kill Harry. Usually I'm lukewarm on rookies getting their first starts, but the situation, the stars may aligned to get something out of nikkil Harry the rest of the way, Okay, you were you were right charge two
thousand four. Time has flun so the epic three games stretch for Drew Bennett. For Drew Bennett Week thirteen, don't go into opponents, doesn't matter. He had three for one four and three touchdowns, all right, the following week twelve for two thirty three yards, three touchdowns, the following week thirteen for one sixty and two touchdowns, and so then well,
and then he disappeared. So now put yourself in my shoes. Right, So I've got now, I've got the next spring, next summer, I've got a magazine to put out with all my player ratings. What do you do about Drew Drew Bennett coming off of that playoff run? Where do you rank him? Tell people what Drew Bennett did in the next day of the month of the next season, if you would, Brian, do I even have to. It's not gonna be good.
It's not gonna be good because you know, we're like, oh, and Drew Bennett looks so good, and that's what you remember. Of course, well, he started with three for seventy nine, so you're like, Okay, he'll get going. It's not awful, but he only had one touchdown in his first ten games. Half yards but yeah, never the same epic bus. Yeah, yeah, you get tricked. That's part of what fan a That's what fantasy football does too. A lot of the time. They just trick you out. Right, let's go to the site.
The Sunday night game in Chicago taking on the Rams. Brian they got three touchdown passes out of three touchdown It wasn't a great game, but it was by his standards, a better game than we've had in the past. What do you think of the passing game for the Bears against the Rams? Well, I was listening to say, despite the three touchdowns, you're benching this game, So I'm gonna
go into it too much. Really, the only past catcher worth mentioning is Allen Robinson, but the Rams have Jalen Rams and Mitch true Bisky is the quarterback of the Bears, So I'm gonna give a rob a c based on name alone. They both played for the Jaguars together a whole while ago, their buds Ramsey in the league. Then yeah, okay, yea there bud anyway, David Montgomery is uh buds with his ankle after rolling it in practice on Wednesday, and
that doesn't work at all. But he's gonna be a game time decision going into this one, and it's it's not a good matchup. And he went the bed against the Lions last week smashed spot. The Rams have allowed just one rushing touchdown to a running back over their last five games. Only two running backs up top the hundred yards against them all year, the Rams. That is.
It was Christian McCaffrey in Week one and then Chris Carson had a hundred eighteen rushing yards in Week five, but it took him twenty seven carries to get there. He almost can't bank on starting David Montgomery between the game time decision in the matchup, I think he's a bench and no, you're not gonna go grab Ryan Hellnall his backup. So I said the only pass catcher worth mentioning was a rob. If Montgomery sits, hear me out alright,
Cordurell Patterson sneaky, sneaky play. He's probably better running back than Ryan All. He could be the running back for the Bears could be starting running back. I have a quote up on my wall at home. It says, don't get cute at running back Brian Johnson, he's a wide receiver. I would get cute with the wide receiver playing running back. But we'll see what happens with Montgomery. He'll probably play. But awful matchup. I'm gonna say bench Montgomery out right,
even if he plays. Uh. I almost want to say bench Todd Gurley out right going to the other side. Get this. Gurley has yet two top twenty opportunities in a game that's carries plus targets. He hasn't even It's disgusting. The last two weeks ten touches and twelve touches. That's it for Todd Gurley. And they never passed to him anymore. He was any leaf pass catching back. How's the stat? The Bear l a the Rams running backs I can barely read this, it's so bad have totaled five catches
over their last four games. Twenty running back catches on the whole. See Sean McVeigh lose his touch like did he get shattered by Bill Belichick in that Super Bowl? Is it all over for the Wonder Kint I think there's a chance that the Rams offensive line is awful, awful and by the way they just put their center on, eye on and the right the right tackle is going to miss this game, Ross Haven or whatever. Yeah, I will,
I will give Gurley. See still, Chicago has been kind of bad against the runs since losing a Chem Hicks. They have even up seven rushing touchdowns in the last five games. But temporary expectations with Girly, you know you need to do that already. Ronald Jones has like the same numbers as Todd Gurley this year. You can do like the player player and player compared. It is very depressing. Uh what else was depressing? It was Cooper Cups goose egg last week, probably the most brutal goose egg of
the fantasy foot all season so far. Mike Evans saying, what at least marsh On Latimer, it was sort of an excuse for that. Like Jared Goff, Cup does way better at home, where he averages an extra thirty yards per game on his career. Not a great spot on paper, though the Bears have only allowed one wide receiver to score since Week three. In the last three weeks, seventy seven yards is the high watermark from opposing white out, so just the sea for cup. I will give Robert
Woods to see. Uh got eleven targets last week with Brandon Cooks on the sideline. Cooks definitely not playing this week or probably for the rest of the season, but again not a great matchup in Woods only has three red zone targets on the season. That is inexplicable. That explains his zero receiving touchdowns. Yep. Gerald Everett has caught some touchdowns, but they've really been on the road. He's the reverse goff split guy. He's better on the road
than at home. Has average eleven targets over his past three road games, but only five targets over his last three at home. He's been held scoreless and under twenty one yards in five games, whether it's home or on the road. Most of them have been at home, but in his other four games he's gone off. He's either scored called eight passes or top the hundred yards, but he's so boom or bust. This is a bus scenario.
Outside of Zach Hurts his big day against the Bears, Chicago hasn't allowed any other tight end to top four catches or fifty yards. So Everett he gets a seat just because tight end is such a waste land. But uh, he's not gonna be a good day for him. And then Jared Goff, I know he's at home, but I got him on the bench. I'm aware of the splits. But Chicago is allowing just one passing touchdown per game on average, and only one quarterback as it has hit
three d passing yards. That was case keenum and garbage time. And like you said, charge the Rams without their starting center and right tackle. It's not all Golf's fault, but it's like drop her bile and redraft down. There might be true, that might be true. All right, let's go to our Monday night game taking place in mexicollicoll and are correspondent one one? No, it's mateo, mateo one, Yeah, blond matteo. Um, hey I need some here we go yeah, now now I'm feeling it. This is the way to
do it. The Kansas City f As at the Los Angeles Cargodores in Mexico. Um, we'll start with some Briado McCoy. That's Shady McCoy, who was a healthy scratch last week. He's still on your bench. Damian Williams, he gets the bay. Not to wait, that's not p plus is it? No? Not to gra Okay, thank you? Yeah you get an a bay or say yeah obviously. Williams had twenty four
the twenty nine touches last week, including five receptions. Those five receptions are important as the Chargers have allowed an average of eight capturas and sixty receiving yards in their last five games to the running back positions. When you add in three receiving scores to opposing backs in that time, we're talking about a scoring fiesta for Damian Williams. Patricio Macasa he gets an cute yes, Patrisa never mind no
Mahomes Tobilo. Tobio ankle injury looked like a non factor last week as he threw four quatro cientos quarenta passing yards that's four forty six in Tennessee. The Cargadores have been good against the past, but Vuelo superior quarterbacks such as Deshaun Watson and Ryan Tannehill have each top three yards and thrown for multiple scores this year. Travis Kelsey
gets the bay. Nota Kelsey is not Mattiol against the Chargers since they moved to l A. He has not scored a touchdown against the Chargers since they've become the l A Chargers, in fact, outside of Kansas City because two his last two lines against the Chargers are one catch for six yards and one catch for Juno yard. Yuck uh. The Chargers haven't allowed a tight end touchdown
in seven games. Derwin James isn' due back for another couple of weeks, but he was the guy who really shut down Kelsey last year, so that's why Kelsey still gets the bay. Tyreek Colina Hill he gets the nota Mikole Duro hard Man. Yeah, and Sammy Watkins are on the bunco Uh. Tough to knock a guy with nineteen targets last week. Like like Tyreek Hill. The only minus here is the matchup. No wide receiver has topped seventy yards or scored against the Chargers in the last three games.
They've only allowed one wide receiver to top a hundred yards on the year, and there's just not enough to go around outside of Hill, so the other guys are on the bench. I'm a bombko. Isn't that bank or is that Banko? That's Banko Philippe Rios. On the other side, he gets the same not Rivers hasn't topped dose touchdown passes since Week one. He's only three yard mark twice in his last six games. The bright side is that the Chiefs have allowed multiple scores to each of the
past three quarterbacks they've faced. His favorite receiver is Kaza Door Henry. He gets a note. Uh. He's totaled at least forty seven yards or score in every game he's played this season, and the Chiefs are bottom ten in receptions and yards allowed to the tight end position. Hunter Henry a great uh. Miguel Williams, he's on the bench. I mostly just wanted him to call call him Miguel. He hasn't scored yet this season, hasn't topped six targets
or four receptions any of the last four weeks. But Keenan Allen he gets the bay note and what should be a shootout. Allen as upside ten or more targets and three of his last four. Hasn't scored since Week three. Hasn't scored in seven weeks. Keenan Allen. However, the Chiefs are only allowing ten catches and one fourteen on average the wide receiver position over the last five games. That's all got to go to Keyan Allen here. Uh, Melvin Gordon,
he gets an ah note here. Um. Gordon has re established himself as the conquistador of the Chargers backfield with over twenty carries and back to back weeks that resulted in Ciento Centa Echo eight total yards and three touchdowns in those two weeks. Speaking of Ciento Centa Echo eight yards, that's exactly how many Derrick Henry ran for last week
against the Chiefs. Every top back to face the Chiefs in the last three weeks has topped two hundred and ten total yards, which brings in to play Austin Ekeler. He's the final guy in this matchup. He gets a say nota. He's still averaging twelve touches per game over the last two weeks since Gordon really took over. And it's worth noting we're only a couple of weeks removed from Aaron Jones going for seven catches, a hundred and fifty nine yards and two touchdowns through the air. So
that's why Austin Ekeler is still in play. I think he is in play very possibly Mexico City Field doesn't end up destroying anybody. Well, they didn't turn him around and put him back in l A. All right, it's a good sign. Um, we've only got a few moments left in the show. Let me get you with a couple of quick ones. Brian Johnson, Can I drop Juju? Smith Schuster outright? He's in the concussion protocol? His status for next week Week twelve unknown? Yeah, sabotage drop Juju.
He's a headache you don't want to deal with if you're not in the playoffs with Juju and roster. But ye, I would drop it down the stretch. Would you rather have Juju or Alexander Madison? I'd rather have the handcuffed. I'd rather exactly or Madison. And that even if, even if you don't have Dalvin Cook, just in case something happens, he's your Sander. Madison's the top tennis you're taking. Tony Pollock could be the same way. Maybe it's another opportunity
like that. Al Right, guys, a nice job. Thank you for all your help with we get people ready for week number eleven, And if you love this show, go to fanball dot com.
