Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from my Heart Radio, pure weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. Now along with the guys from dante leagues dot Com. Here's your host, Paul. Welcome to a week five edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Giarchi and my co host today Scott Fish and Brian Johnson. Hello, guys, What's what's going on. It's for wins, That's what's going on.

We're here, We're delivering. We're handing out wins like you're gonna be handing out nice size candy bars on Halloween. I have a guarantee for the listeners. I guarantee we will be more entertaining than Russell Wilson playing football that goes without saying Holy cow. Maybe we'll get into a little a little discussion about the travesty that is the Denver Broncos right now, booed by the our own fans

vocimperously throughout the game. And I don't think I've ever seen fans leave and mass heading into overtime for the you know, it's the coin flip for overtime of the fans roll leaving oh Man. Good for the fans of them in Denver. Plenty to get to over the course of the show. Will have take a chance on me. We'll do our three tough questions while premature speculation, and we will break down all fifteen remaining games from the NFL slate, beginning with another of the the tricky early

start games. Be sure to set your lineups. Giants taking on Packers. Yes, I'm excited for it, and I'm very happy Collin's not here. My understanding on Colin is um arrested. Arrested. Yeah, now, you saw um in in London during the Viking game. You may have seen that nude streaker. Uh that that had to eventually security had to get Colin mccockney. Interesting. At least he wasn't the uh, at least he wasn't the one in the Rams games knocked out by Bob Wagner.

The Giants pass game is on the bench. How's that stuff? Very good? Start the whole pass game, Richie Richie, James, David Sills, Daniel Bellinger who I do like, but like three catches for thirty forty yards isn't doing you much? Um, it's a Packers d that's top twelve against quarterbacks, wide receivers, and tight ends. Daniel Jones, he got you the two Russian touchdowns last week, probably on your bench or on your waiver wire. He probably didn't get it correct that

for you. But he hasn't top two hundred yards all season. It's Darius Tony has two hamstring injuries. They're all on the bench. Barkley, though, it's it's an automatic, am, it just is. He's the best. He's the best fantasy running back in football right now, and the QB position is rough. Um. Barkley actually ended up playing extra snaps the most snaps and touches he's ever played in a single game in his career last week. Uh, and he was playing. He

was playing snaps at quarterback with Daniel Jones Taylor out. Yes, yeah, he took a lot of Wildcats snaps near the end of that game. Anyway, Let's move over to the Packers side, because there's players that actually matter on this side. Um, not that Parkley doesn't matter, but he's the Aaron Rodgers I have a B grade on since his second annual Week one dismantling. Yes, Rogers has throwne for two d thirty two five yards in every game and two scores in every game, So that's a pretty safe B floor

is is what he's been doing. The Giants pasty is top ten, but they have not really faced any startable quarterbacks. I guess the closest they faced was tannehill id And who went for two hundred and sixty six and a couple of scores. So I'd expect Rogers to lean towards his averages, if not a little better. Gotta be grade there on him. Um Romeo Dubbs and Alana's Ard. I have B grades on both of them. I just do.

I like, I don't think you can talk me into an A grade, and it's possib but one of them hits the A and one of them hits the B. But I'm giving him both bees with some upside there. The Giants haven't truly been tested, as I mentioned with the quarterbacks, but even Darnell Mooney, who hadn't done anything all year, found ninety four yards against them, and Steedee Lamb the week before at eighty seven and scores. The lead receiver Dubson Lazard have both been playing of the snaps.

They both very clearly have Rogers trust, both in Rogers speak and in his play um. He has targeted those two about fifty of his passes, so if he throws thirty, we're talking fifteen targets and that's probably low end thirty pass attempts for Aaron Rodgers. Um over to Robert Tonyan. I do have him on the bench, not even playing half the snaps. You almost need the touchdown, which is

tough to count on with Rogers. Now that once they get inside the red zone and especially inside the five and ten, it's a pretty even split between run and pass, whereas last year with it was all passed. So now they're going half and half and Tonnan is not seen that kind of touched on volume. Giants haven't allowed a tight end touchdown this year, and tight ends are averaging under forty yards per game. Yes, sit Tony over to

the running backs. Aaron Jones, I got an A grade on A J. Dylan, I have a B grade on The Giants are getting tagged weekly by running backs McCaffrey, Herbert, the Dallas and Titans duos, so we're just say the Titans duo. It's not really a duo. But you know, Dontrell Hilliard had two touchdowns against them and did a bunch through the air in week one. But to the tune of fifty yards per game. Dylan has both carries inside the five. Jones gets the targets, which I honestly

didn't see coming. But they're splitting the snaps pretty evenly. But given one gets touchdown carries and one gets targets, I got them both. I got them both with A and B grades. Here Aaron Jones six point eight yards per carry to Dylan's three point seven. That's something to keep an eye on. Yeah, that's why Jones is getting Yeah, he's getting a grade there. Dylan the B though, don't don't stick. It still gets to be in this matchup.

The Lions, Brian, have got all kinds of injuries. We uh, we know for sure that dj Hark is out, DeAndre Swift is out, uh, Josh Reynolds probably playing, but questionable. I'm on Ross st. Brown game time decision. Help me make heads or tails out of Lions when they take on the Patriots. All right over to the Patriots side, and I'm just alright, start with long gone or the days or is just like you're benching the Lions. Even when they're healthy, it's quite the opposite scoring team in

the NFL. Well, we'll start with thanks to their awful defense, it's not the perfect store and for fantasy. But once they get healthy, once what James and Williams gets back, Oh my lord, this offense can think about that. Well, we know Jamal Williams is gonna play, and I gonna give him a B. Should be in line for another Bill Cout workload. Even when Swift was healthy, Williams was the guy at the goal line for Detroit. He now leads all running backs in the NFL and carries inside

the five yard line. He's done it nine times. She is but be more and the Pats are set stout against the run. Green Bay ran all over them last week, but that game went to the bitter end of overtime, so they played five quarters before that, and no other opposing back as top sixty yards rushing against the Patriots in New England has yet to surrender a running back touchdown through the ground or air. So just the B for Williams. But he should see a lot of volume

in this one. As you said, d J. Chark is out We're gonna go with Josh Reynolds likely to play. I'm on Ross Brown true game time decision. If if if some God plays, I'm gonna give him a b um and a C either way for Josh Reynolds. It's kind of like Ronalds more than you do. But go ahead. Uh, it's it's it's a neutral. I'll give Reynolds to be if if st. Brown's out. Actually, but if st. Brown's in, C for Reynolds, B for Brown, it's basically a neutral

matchup for wide receivers. The Patriots are allowing eleven catches and almost a hundred and fifty yards per game to wide receivers. Those aren't great numbers as a whole to opposing wide receiver units, but they have surrendered exactly one wide receiver touchdown in three or four games. If Alman Ross Brown is out, I think Tom Kennedy is kind of interesting as also out. Yeah, and you may have to go to Tom Kennedy. And then there's Cliff for Raymond.

But Kennedy had the better game last week, So I'll go with Tom Kennedy. So easy to see Dart if uh some God is out, Um, we know teaching Cockinson there it is is not out, and he's not on the bench this week. Hopefully it wasn't on your bench last week, probably the biggest game in all fantasy football. Gonna give him an a here because the Patriots up rendered five tight end touchdowns, the most in the league.

And lastly, Jared Goff can give him a ce. This week's matchup with the Pats likely as tough as to date. We prefer if Alman ross A Brown plays. If he doesn't, he still gotta roll Goff out there, just because New England gives up a ton of points and it's forced to throw all the time. So New England not the greatest matchup, but the c for Goff. And now over to the Patriots side, starting with their running backs. Damien Harris, Gonna give him an a uh just across the boar.

Detroit's defense sucks, so there's gonna be some startable Patriots this week. On Like past weeks, the lines have allowed the fourth most rushing yards and the most rushing touchdowns to running backs. Harris has scored in three or four games this year and has eighteen touchdowns over his last nineteen games dating back to last year's with the A

for Harris and uh B for Mondre Stevenson. The matchup obviously just as good for Stevenson, who saw fourteen carries last week to the eight team from Harris, but Stevens Stevenson saw five targets to the one for Harris. Opponent opposing running backs have caught at least four passes against the Lions and three of four games. Now did the Patriots wide receivers will start with who I guess is their alpha. Number one wide receiver, Davante Parker scored a

touchdown last week at Green Bay. The week before that, he had five catches for a hundred and fifty six yards against the Ravens. The lines are allowing fourteen catches for a hundred and ninety five yards and one touchdown per game to a post in wide out, Parker is startable, even with the quarterback situation, which we'll get to in a minute. Now, there's there's some more murkiness for the wide receivers with New England. Jacoby Myers has missed the

last couple of games. If he plays, I would give him a sea, But if he's out, I think Nelson Aglare is the C Dart for the Patriots just against this awful Lion secondary. So that's time you break that situation down. And uh not at Sea Dart, but just to see for hunter Henry John who smith your boys? Detroit is top seven in the most catches and yards allowed to tight end. So Henry is startable this week. And you know what, if you're desperate, Bailey, Zappy looks

to be the starter. I mean it's against the Lions right now. You look, We've seen We've seen quarterbacks like him play well all year. He played pretty well in Green Bay coming off attention, he looked like I'm looking at him, just waiting for him to fall apart. He didn't. If you're in any kind of super flex format, whether it's redraft or especially Dynasty, I would draft is Appy

right now because he does have long term upside. I don't know if he will see it, but I will say it would have been nice to see him put any kind of drive together near the end or in overtime, and he just couldn't. Did you guys see the photo of him with Mac Jones? Oh yeah, I've seen the two head shots that you would never know that they're not the same person. I've seen the two head shot Bears take on the Vikings. This won't take very long. If if it turns out David Montgomery does not go,

then Khalil is an A grade. Bears run on a league leading sixty two of offensive plays, and again, if Monty is out, that means ground Bears getting a lot of work and he's played well. He grades is the second most efficient runner according to Next Gen Stats. He's averaging six yards per carry. Minnesota's a lot of rushing touchdowns in every game and ranks twenty seven and rushing d v O A. There's a great opportunity for Khalil

Herbert if Montgomery doesn't go. If Montgomery does go, I got a knock him all the way down to a C and a timeshare role. And I've got to see on Montgomery if he does go again in Minnesota's defense is exploitable on the ground. If Montgomery's active. I'm assuming Montgomery's active, He'll get sometime, but he's Herbert's should get at least half of the carries. Even if Montgomery is active.

They both get C grades in that event. And the only other Bear that you care about, Darnell Mooney coming up the best game of his year by a mile. He did nothing in the first three weeks. He is running mostly from the slot, and he matches up against Vikings cornerback Chandon Sullivan, who's allowed eighty eight percent of his passes to be completed. Sullivan's also giving up twelve yards per reception. That's a big number. The problem for

Mooney's always targets. He's seeing four targets per game, but that could change considering his easy matchup with Sullivan's So a C grade on Darnell Mooney. We go over to the Vikings Justin Jefferson automatic A grade. Dalvin Cook also with an A grade. Here. Chicago hemorrhaging production to opposing running backs, giving up at least from one total yards to a running back in three straight games, and they're seeing a league high thirty six rushes per game against them.

Dalvin Cook will not get all thirty six, but he should get more than twenty, and that puts him into a high level of productivity. Here, the Vikings have run thirty seven plays from the red zone. Dalnn Cook only has five touches. We've touched on this basically every week, going all the way back to the preseason, we told you expected this. Vikings a run nine plays from inside the five yard line. Dalvin Cook has one touch. That's

your danger. Cook may need to score from distance. Going to the passing game, I like Adam Feeling and kJ Osbourne with C grades. Uh and well, actually I'm a bump up Adam Theland do a B grades. I don't think cornerback Jalen Johnson's gonna go. He's got a quad injury. Um. The Bears have very good safeties, but their cornerbacks are dreadful kindall wild or Kyler Gordon awful? They've and Kyler

Gordon who man's the slot? kJ Osborne owners they He's allowed the most passing yards in the NFL three hundred thirty five from the slot. Kyler Gordon does not belong on an NFL field. K j Osborne a nice sneaky play in this one. And then that brings us to Kirk Cousins. I've got a B and C grades on his receiver, so I've got a B grade on Cousins here. The only question really is teams don't pass on the Bears. They run all day on the Bear too, so volume

could work against him. Chicago sees the lowest pass play percentage in the league, and they've only given up three passing touchdowns because nobody has to pass. So that's your danger on starting. No, there's we've recovered this last week. Can I make an open plea to Adam Feeling? Yeah? Please? He's having a charity function at the Top Golf. You're in Minnesota on Monday, and I haven't been in weeks, and I was planning to go, but he's closed the

whole venue down for a very worthy cause. I'm sure, but Adam Feeling put me on the list. Please. Brian Johnson and Brian at Brian Johnson, can't you it's a at event. You can't just go and just pay your way in. Okay, Well there's that. Uh. Speaking of speaking of paying for Brian salary, you should consider joining a Guillotine league. New leagues forming all the time, fourteen man leagues, the team leagues this week and then next week we go down to thirteen. You know how the works. At

Guillotine leagues dot com. We encourage you to give that a try. When we come back, take a chance on me nine players not normally in your starting lineup. We'll tell you who they are after this, It's take a chance on me. Nine players not normally in your starting lineup, many or available on the waiver wire. We begin at the quarterback position and Scott Fish. I'm going a little deeper this week. I'm gonna go with Cooper Rush facing a Rams defense that you probably wouldn't think is a

great matchup. But they have allowed three hundred plus and or multiple touchdowns three times this season. The other time they did allow a touchdown a couple hundred yards. Cooper Rush also gets Michael gallup. He's got Michael Gallut back. Now he gets Sheltz back. Tony Pollard may mess so they may not run as much. Never know. Yeah, it's Cooper Russia and it's been widely reported. It's not breaking news. First ever Cowboys quarterback to start a career four oh

Cooper Rush. I said this, Actually I tweeted this in right when and right after Dac went down. Cooper Rush came into that first game. What happens when Cooper Rush leads this team to a bunch of wins, looks good doing it, and then Dad comes back. What if he looks like the same act we saw in week one? I saw a tweet, and I wish I could remember who it was. I could credit them. They said, you better watch out, Cooper Rush. You're playing yourself into a

starting role for the Panthers. That's really good. That's really good. You're taking a chance of me. Quarterback Brian Cleveland's Jacoby Brissette at home against the Chargers, who have surrendered surrendered at least two passing yards and multiple passing touchdowns in every game so far. Last week, they allowed five completions of twenty plus yards. To be very comparable Davis Mills. I like Jacoby Brissette, alright. What happened to the chargers

rebuilt secondary? Wow, I've got Ryan Tannehill. Nobody gets out of bed going on. I can't wait to start Ryan Tannehill. But it's Washington. They've allowed the most passing touchdowns despite playing some third tier talents like Trevor Lawrence and Cooper Rush. Cornerbacks William Jackson and Kendall Fuller owned Pro Football Focus ranks at cornerback of a hundred fourteen and a hundred forty four. Fuller is allowed the second most yardage among

all cornerbacks. Trailing Burks is gonna miss the game. But Robert Woods, Nick Westbrook at Keene good enough to style Ryan Tannehill. Let's go to the running back position, Scott, Yes, I am going to go with my guy. I play in the league with Tyler Algier. I noticed this week that I am playing against Tyler Lgire Oh in a game. He's gonna start, and he's starting himself over David Montgomery and over Antonio Gibson. He's throwing himself in the lineup

right there. So that tells you how much Tyler L. Gire feels about himself in this matchup. Uh, they lost Corderal Patterson. They do have Caleb Huntley, who was activated from the practice squad last week to go big against the Cleveland Browns. They're gonna have to activate him again and he'll have to stay on the active roster after that. But he he had eight of his tent carries on one drive. He's mostly a big body back. He might

get goal line work. Avery Avery Williams is more of a pass catching back, but Tyler lgre is the guy who caught the passes to the last two weeks in in in those games. So I have Tyler Algier to get a decent workload against uh against this buckste that gave up a hundred fifty total yards and two scores to the Chiefs last week. Oddly yielding Bucks run defense last week, but still very good run defense. Uh, Brian, you're take a chance of me running back the Rams

Darryl Henderson at home against Dallas. The Cowboys are allowing four point eight yards per carry and more than five catches per game to opposing running backs. Last week, Henderson had eleven opportunities. Those are carries and targets to be nine of cam Acres, who did absolutely nothing with his Henderson is a better running back on this team, and

he's gonna have a better game between the two. Travis Etn has been a massive disappointment, But if you're not going to play him against Houston, why is he on your roster. Houston allowing one hundred eighty total yards and one and a half touchdowns per game to opposing running backs, both second worst in the league at ten. Hasn't flashed as a receiver like we thought he would. I thought he was gonna be sitting on like a forty catch season.

He's not gonna come close. But I'll note Houston has bottom ten and receptions and receiving yards to running backs. So if it's ever gonna happen, this might be it. Alright, let's go to your take a chance of mer receivers, Scott. Yeah, I'm going with George Pickens. You probably you probably haven't been starting him, but he's he's three roster and maybe up a little bit more this week. But he's going

against Buffalo. Tough matchup, doesn't make you feel good. But last week after after Kenny Pickett came in, he was targeted over thirty percent of the time with pickets. Passes had seventy one yards for a hundred two yards or seventy one of his hundred and two yards with Pickett catching all four of his targets. His average depth of target with pick in that second half way larger than Rabinsky Pickets attempts were way longer than than Trabinsky and

their fourteen point dogs. I think they're trying to pass to keep it and then keep it paced with the Bills in this one. Well, I'll look forward to hearing what you think about Nazi Harris in a very tricky matchup in a couple of minutes. Uh, Brian, let's go

to York take a chance on the receiver. I'm gonna double down on the Browns and go with Donovan People's jones against the Chargers, who are allowing more than a hundred and sixty yards per game to opposing wide receivers and they've surrendered the second most touchdowns of the position with six. DPJ has out targeted and outperformed Marie Cooper

in two of four games. Cooper is surely going to draw more attention from the Chargers defense is also going to have their hands very full with the run game of the Browns, meaning d p J should be running routes against single coverage all game long. Corey Davis has been shockingly competent this year. Actually in many scoring systems. He is a wide receiver too well. They're paying him to do just that. He keeps getting dropped and picked up because people are like he did grow but he's

Corey Davis. Davis had nobody's enthused about it. He's notched at least seventy four yards in three or four games. He's got two touchdowns on the season, and he faces a Miami secondary that's been frankly terrible and Xavian Howard's hurt. Right now, Miami has been pumbled for a hundred ninety five yards per game to opposing wide receivers, fourth most they've allowed to one yard receivers in the last three games.

Davis is ethan air yards and I don't think of Corey Davis as a deep ball threat, but here he is ethan airy yards and big plays have been given up by Nick Needham and Daming Howard, assuming Howard even plays in this game. So Corey Davis our final take a chance on me player, Steelers take on the Bill Scott. You already told us a little bit about the passing game and how you feel about George Pickens. How do

you feel about the rest of that passing game? And then Naji Harris, I want to hear if you've got a bench grade Naji Harris. I don't, but I have a non enthusiastic C grade on Naja Harris, so it's probably in line with the same place you were thinking. The nice part about Naji Harris is he gets a

ton of volume eighteen plus touches in three states. We know he can catch the ball, so he could get involved in that as they fall away behind the Bills potentially, but the Bills d hasn't allowed fifty yard rusher this season. The lead Black, though, has scored five touchdowns against the Bills somehow, which which is definitely weird. I wouldn't count on that though. Last week, the picket led Steelers had four places inside the five. Here's another concern for Naja Yarris.

Two picket runs, one picket passed, and just one kerry for Nag Harris. Of all those plays inside the five last night, with the last week with Pickett running things, uh Harris is fifth in the NFL and opportunities inside the five, but just two scores, and there's already concerned. There wasn't super productive with his three and a half yards per carry. His six point seven per catch is pretty inefficient. The only thing he's got going for him for me is the volume. See his likelihood to get

fifteen to twenty touches. He's probably just gonna get enough done. Mean, you got to hope for a score, and that's about all you can hope for. Yeah. By the way, Jalen Warren's averaging six yards per cary last week, seven and a half the week before. Still keep your I said it last week pick up these backup running backs. It was a great call. Uh. Kenny Pickett is on the bench. Though.

The Bills are top five against quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends and top ten against running back so it's a tough matchup for everybody. They did face Stafford cop Henry to a wattle hill. They've been tested, They've legitimately been tested with those those top rankings and defenses. Uh. Quarterbacks are averaging a hundred and seventy three yards and just three scores in four games. So Pickets on the bench, you're not gonna be too excited about the past game.

I said, I do like Pickens. I did have a C grade on him. Hope for some deep balls and in a decent Okay Sea level game there I have Friar with on the bench. He caught three of his four targets from Pickett. The one he didn't was one of one of them that was picked off. Obviously if if if he didn't get it was picked off. That's that's all pick It did. Last week ten completions two Steelers,

three completions to the other team. Uh. The Bills held Andrews Mark Andrews to fifteen yards and every tight end under forty UM going back to last year, only Kelsey, Gronk Pitts, and Dan Arnold top fifty years yards on this d So you have to be on that level, the Dan Arnold level to get fifty yards against this team, averaging within fifteen yards for catching. He's the ball Evan Ingram time. I actually do have d off. I actually

do have Deonto Johnson on the bench. He's getting a ton of targets, but he didn't get as many with picking in um only had eleven yards. His aid DOT has been terrible. His yards after the catch is hilarious. Six on the season. Six yards after the catch on the season for Deonta Johnson this year, UM, he's any He doesn't even have a single red zone target this year. That's that's too much concerned for me. I have Deonta Johnson on the bench. Over to the other side, Josh

Allen and Stefon Diggs. I don't need to talk about They're they're gonna be a grades almost every week. Gabe Davis and Isaiah Mackenzie. I have sea grades on both of them. Were assuming here Mackenzie goes, he clears concussion protocol and he goes. Mackenzie scored in three or four. Crowder is now out with a broken foot. That's likely bumps Mackenzie snapshare up a little. I expect Khalil Gear to get in more. I'll talk about him a little

bit more later. Potentially. Uh Davis disappeared each of the last two weeks, but they were far tougher spots. The Steelers have allowed seventy five plus yards and or scored a six different wide receivers. It's it's a better matchup for him. I think there's room for him to be that seventy yard maybe a touchdown sea level guy here. Dawson Knox is on the bench. Pretty hard to trust a three to four catch twenty four yard guy any week. Um, and he's probably last I saw he was leaning towards out.

He might he might officially be out by now. Okay, Devin Singletary, I have a B grade on here. Like Singletary this way, I really like it. Fifteen plus touches and back to back snap percentage has gone way up UM in his games. I saw this earlier this week. In his games where he gets at least seventy the snap, He's been a top twenty four running back iron I believe seven of those eight games, so we're looking at so so you're already looking close to be their fourteen

point five point favorites. They do bring in James Cook when they get ahead, but Singletary should get a decent volume here. He has thirteen catches for hud to five yards and to score just through the air in the last two games, so he gets it. He gets it there too, So I have a B grade on Singletary in this one. Let's sell. Let's sell on Naji Harris right now. The schedule's ridiculous. Buffalo this week than Tampa, Miami,

Philadelphia a bye week, and Saints. Naji Harris is not going to be above a C grade for another eight weeks. Get out of Naji Harris now and don't buy Naji Harris if you're here exactly, don't be on the other side of that that flim flam. I would I would be offering Naji Harris for guys like Damian Pierce right that I think are way way better and safer runners,

not not just matchup. You know me, I tell you Jaen One was one of my preseason you know, get him on the back of your bench, sleepers, if if he starts taking more and more of a role, that that paired with a bad matchup is just terrible death. Get out of Naji Harris Now, Dolphins take on the Jets. Teddy Bridgewater is your news starting quarterback for the Dolphins, at least for the time being. Get this. I looked

this up. He's played sixty three game NFL games, started sixty three NFL games, his three of the NFL, going well all the way back to the Super Bowl era nineteen sixty six forward. No quarterback has thrown fewer touchdowns in sixty three games than Teddy Bridgewater one point one per game. He is a fantasy vacuum that is going to suck the life out of that offense. That's just my opinion. Yeah, Dolphins taking on the Jets, Brian, I

think you're wrong about Teddy this week. You gotta give Teddy B A B, especially against the Jets where twenty nine against the passing DV O A and my Miami has the weapons to do the damage. And don't forget this is a revenge game of sorts for Teddy, who signed with New York in eighteen. In March they gave up on him before the preseason, traded him to the Saints. He's gonna seek his revenge on the Jets in this game. Speaking of those weapons of Teddy's past teams are revenge matches.

That that's every week. I hasn't been around that much. He's not Bryan Fitzpatrick. Is he eight? Is he? Is he eight teams in right now? He might be. I don't think it's nine times. Um uh. Speaking of his weapons, Mike Kisiki is not one. He's on the bench. His usage is what we feared, which is absolutely nothing. So you're not starting a Dolphins tight end, but you are going to start Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle. They've been dealing with some minor injuries this week, but they should

be good to go. Gonna give both of them and be the Jetsteps surrendered the second most wide receiver touchdowns and have allowed an opposing wide receiver to top one hundred yards in three straight games. DJ Read and Sauce Garden or a four mittle duo at cornerback, but so our Hill and Wattle at wide receiver. So I like them a little more than the Jets corners. And lastly, from Miami Raheem mostarred in Chase Edmonds. I will give both of them a see. It's a fairly neutral matchup.

The Jets are allowing over a hundred and ten compo yards and a touchdown per game to opposing Bacs. Most are it saw eighteen opportunities to the eight from Edmonds last week, but Edmonds appears to be the preferred option when Miami's in the red zone. So I don't I don't know which way to go. I would start. I would start one of the flexworthy if you have either on roster. If you're gonna pick one, I would go most. But I think Edmonds is still a viable dark throw

in this one. And that is it. From Miami. Over to the Jet side, starting with Breeze Hall. I'm gonna give him a see. He appears to be taking over his lead back. His percentage has increased week over week. I would trade Nazi Harris for Breest Hall. Oh yeah, I usually I get him. Hall has also become the primary option in the red zone at running back for

the Jets. But this is a tough matchup. Miami is fourth against the run in d v O A, allowing just fifty seven rush yards per game to opposing running backs. That said, Hall has seen these second most targets among all running backs, and Miami has allowed the fourth most catches to the position, So I might even bump them up to a B in PPR leagues, but a C and standard. You gotta bench Michael Carter at this point because if the trend continues, he's looking at a thirte

snapshare at best, so he's on the bench. Um Now, over the Jets wide receivers, Miami could be without corner Xaving Howard, Keion Crossing, and Byron Jones, which would bode well for all of them. If Xavian Howard their best corner sits, I'll give Garrett Wilson a B. If he plays, he'll give him a CE. But people were worried will And wouldn't get enough attention from Zack Wilson last week. But Garrett Wilson still out targeted Elijah More last week. So I like Wilson more than more, who I will

get a C two as well. I have him on the bench if Miami wasn't still within at cornerback, but with all the injuries in their secondary, I'll give Elijah More one more shot here. He had eight catches for a hundred and forty one yards and a touchdown in his loan meeting with Miami last year, and Corey Davis startable as well, charge he was your take wide receiver. Tyler Conklin also startable with a CE. With Zack Wilson back under center, Conklin posted season lows in both targets

and receptions. That being said, he has a good matchup against Miami. He was allowed the fifth most yards to tight ends and surrendered a touchdown to Hayden Hurst last week. And with all those startable past catch your grades. I gotta see on Zack Wilson, who could do a little damage on the ground as well. When we come back, another block of matchups for you, including Texans Jaguars which is suddenly overflowing, and fantasy options and how much you

know this show loves Damian Pierce. What is the letter grade above A find out who's doing the matchup? I am find out when we come back Fantasy Football Weekly. Fantasy Football Weekly continues Paul Giargie and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you. If you haven't tried a guillotine league. Yet, maybe you want to know when you want to join another league. Maybe the league the team you got in your normal league is foundering. Maybe your five close to

five hundred. Maybe just don't love that one. Maybe you want to start in the league. Maybe you always want to try Guillotine league. We've got new drafts basically every day at Guillotine leagues. Where you drafted Kyle Pitts. Well, yeah, it's it's been tough. Uh. When let's talk about Titans gain the Jaguars gentlemen, beginning with Damian Pierce rushing output has increased in every game. He caught all six of his targets last week that weren't throwing to him at

the beginning of the year. Now they've figured out what we knew looking at the tape in college. This kid can catch oh Man. That newfound receiving prowess could be fruitful against the Jacksonville team allowing the second most receptions and receiving yards to opposing running backs. Every starting running back has had at least fifty three total yards against the Jags. That gives you both a safe floor and

upside for Damian Pierce. With and what the fantasy Funzie so I guess I can't technically by the way he went to Florida, right, Yeah? What were they thinking? Like all the time? Probably when the National Championship somebody I saw this on my Twitter there were people posting, still don't trust Damian Pierce because, oh they used him at Florida. I'm like, good over it. Just open your eyes and look at the guys play Florida. Man refuses to use

Damien pierced Brandon Cooks. Uh. He's faced the Jaguars four times since joining Houston. Here's his games. Hundred sixty one yards, eighty three yards, one hundred thirty two yards, and one hundred two yards for Brandon Cooks against the Jaguars. It is an improved defense from last year, but their secondary has been very charitable, the receivers in particular, yielding five scores to the position that is tied for third most.

Brandon Cooks with a B and for much the same reason we're gonna we're gonna do a dart throw on Nico Collins, coming off a career high eighty two yard game. He'll be facing cornerback Tyson Campbell. The most. He's allowed two touchdowns in his coverage already this year, We're gonna keep Davids Mills on the bench, even though I've got B and C grades on Nico Collins, just not much upside to his game so far. Doesn't look bad, doesn't doesn't engender an opportunity to start. Let's go to the

Jaguars side. James Robinson a bounce back performance coming. We saw Austin Neckler right some bad games against this same Texans defense. Now it'll be James Robinson coming off a soft game. Houston allowing a hundred eighty total yards and one point five touchdowns per games to opposing backs. Both second most starters especially been feasting as they're averaging a

hundred thirty five total yards against the Texans. Already told you Travis e t n is was my take a chance of me running back with a C grade on him. Let's go to the passing game. Trevor Lawrence has thrown multiple touchdown passes in three straight games, Sofie only accomplished twice as a rookie all year. One of those games was against the Texans. I like that be great on him,

and I've got to be great in Christian Kirk. He's getting a lot of use, seeing nine targets per game, and that's the kind of volume that should be helpful against perennial roast e Desmond King in the slot. King was Pro Football Focus his cornerback one nineteen last year, and so far this year he's allowing a passer rating of ninety nine in his coverage Christian Kirk It gets B grade. Z Jones expected to return from his ankle injury. Pre injuries A was coming off a great game ten

catches eighty five yards in a touchdown. He runs from all over the field, so he'll draw the aforementioned Desmond King, but also the lackluster outside corners of Steven Nelson and rookie Derek Stingley, who was allowed the fifth most receptions and fourth most yards among all cornerbacks. So he is also a starter in this game. It's covered to the Falcons taking on the Bucks Scott. Yes, so the Falcons. I actually don't have a lot of starting grades here.

I already talked about Tyler Lgier. I had to see grade on him. He's my take a chance on me runner this week. I have Williams and Huntley on the bench. I I don't know that they'll quite get the volume against a buck stee that you know has been pretty good over the last year or so. They weren't great

last week, but I have them on the bench. Marcus Mariotta, he gets a buck stee that face Prescott Winston Rogers Mahomes held them to an average of under two hundred fifty yards and six scores between him, So I got him on the bench. He's not even running the ball anymore, twenty three yards on the ground since week one, so he's on the bench. Uh. Kyle Pitts is obviously on the bench because he's not playing. He's out. Uh allowminda is zach kias I actually do have him on the bench.

I know he might get a little more work with Pits out, but he only ran eight routes last week. He's barely involved. He plays half the snaps. He's getting about two catches per week. It just so happens he's starting, alright. My only other grade four the Falcons is Drake London, who I do have a B grade on, averaging eight targets per game. Once again, probably go up a little boy a little bit this week. He's the alpha role

in the offense. They just don't pass as much, uh, leaving London probably in the eighty five range most weeks. This week, maybe a little bit more because he gets the middle of the pack match up. The Bucks have allowed seven different receivers to have over fifty yards and or a score. I think that's where London is gonna live this week. Maybe a little more upside. On the other side, I have a B grade for Tom Brady, which weirdly feels high this season. Right is on the season,

but he's finally getting his receivers back. He's getting his receivers back. The Falcons have allowed multiple scores to every quarterback they faced not named Jacoby Percent. The other three average two eight yards and two point three scores. Brady hasn't been lights out, but his best two games were the last two weeks and it so he's turning up and it's a favoritable spot here. He's got Mike Evans with a basically an automatic A grade. He just scores

too often. He's Brady's main target. God when I have the B grade on uh. He slid back into the lineup last week and the Bucks stopped throwing to other wide receivers almost completely. He played of snaps commanded ten targets. The Bucks will likely get ahead, but they'll need points on the way there Against the Falcons defense that's fifth worst against wide receivers, allowing fourth most receptions, ninth most yards, and seventh most touchdowns UH in the running game. Now

this is where it gets interesting, you know it. I may not I touted Rashad White on this show many many times, but he he had eight touches to four nets ten but four net still stayed involved in the passing game. They just didn't run much. Um, here's my prespect last week. Five catches for fifty six yards in a score, but you take away the score like it's it's okay. I don't even have a startable grade here on him, but I can I can see in a real pinch, like a real dart throw, maybe throwing Rashod

hight In. But for four net, I have a B grade on him. Had seventeen pluses each of the last three weeks. Falling behind the Chiefs last week was a complete cheap UH game script shift for them. I don't think that happens here. I think they get ahead of Atlanta and they stay with the foot on the ground um, and he'll get back to his workhouse, workhorse roll his

past catching came back, which you like to see. The last two weeks, um only one backs top back top seventy yards against the Falcon and it took over twenty touches. But their ranking is mostly predicated on not playing a lot of great backs, and I think they get ahead and stay on the ground, so be great on four net. I have a bench on sea. But if you're really really really pressed for I guess you could. Man, you're way more optimistic on Leonard for not than I am.

Declining yards in every game this season, declining uh, declining carries and three straight down to three rushes last last week. I take away from the last week, I put his game script. Alright, let's go to our final set of matchups, Chargers taking on the Browns. Alright, Sartin with Austin Ekeler for the Chargers in a for him currently on pace for a hundred and fifteen catches right now, which is crazy, also has at least thirteen carries and three or four games.

The Browns are averaging a rushing touchdown allowed on every fifteen carries. The yield the second worst carries per touchdown rate in the NFL, so a smash spot for Ecker. Now, Keenan Allen unlikely to play this week, so we're gonna continue on as though he's not playing. Even with Alan out, I only have a B for Mike Williams. He does have two touchdowns over his last three games and currently leads all receivers and Pro Football Focuses contested catch grade.

But he'll face a tough test in corner Denzil Award, who allows fifth one yards per game and his coverage and his surrender just one score. And the Browns just designated cornerback Greedy Williams for return from injured reserve. Last season, Greedy had the lowest completion percentage of any Brown's defender who saw more than twenty four targets. Now, I just said Alan most likely not playing, So even though it's

not a great matchup on paper, I will give Josh Palmer. See, you want a starting wide receiver in this Chargers offense, and you do want to start Jailed Everett. He is questionable right now, but should likely play. He He's thrived with Keenan Allen on the bench, has notched thirteen plus PPR points in three or four games. Cleveland allows sixty plus yards per game two tight ends, but they have yet to surrender a touchdown to the position. But ever it could be the first to across the stripe for

a tight end against the Browns. And lastly, justin Herbert air Bear, I'm waiting for the button. I don't know if I can get it, I'll keep going Bears allowed man. So far, the bar owns that faced Baker Mayfield, Joe Flacco, Sad Trombonesky and Marcus Mariota. Uh not a great or a murderers road quarterbacks. May It means the return of Greedy Williams is a big boost, but air Bear still has a skill set and weapons of a productive day over to the brown side. Nick Chubb A for him.

The Charges are allowing six point one rushing yards and one point three touchdowns per game to opposing backs. That being said, somehow, the Charges have not a lot of rushing touchdown in the red zone this season on thirteen carries. It's all come from distance, like Damian Pierce did so. But regardless of that, still at A for Nick Chubb

and a C for Kareem Hunt. The Chargers allowing a hundred and fifty plus combo yards per game to opposing running backs, so there should be enough to go around for Hunt, who is averaging around three catches and sixty combo yards per game over to the wide receivers for the Browns already like Donovan People's Joneses might take a chance on mean wide receiver, but I also like a Mari Cooper even more, going to give him a B. L A is allowing more than a hundred and sixty

yards per game to opposing wide receivers and they've surrendered the second most touchdowns of the position. Cornerback J C. Jackson, who was the Chargers Prize offseason acquisition, Yeah, he's been in with a nagging ankle injury that's hampered his ability to shut down opponents. He's been allowing ninety four yards per game, also some catch rate and a hundred forty

hun passer rating in his coverage. The love Cooper also like David and Joan Coup and Joeku with a c over the last two weeks, fourteen catches for a hundred and six yards and a touchdown. L Lack has yet to surrender a tight end touchdown and they've only allowed combined five catches for six and nine yards of the position over the last few games. But I still got to start in Joeku and Jacobe Rossett was gonna take a chance on the quarterback. Done? Yes, well done. There's

still so there's this a little buffer time. You don't rushed quite that much at the end, but that gives me a chance to remind people.

Find out if you can go three and oh against our annal of experts when we return. Welcome back our number two Fantasy football weekly. Paul Charchy and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you. You can follow us on Twitter. I'm at Paul Charchy in Scott is at Scott Fish twenty four and follow Brian at b t x J.

This is a game we call three tough questions. I will pepper, my co host, with the aforementioned tough questions. See if you can get as many right or more as Scott and Bryant. Tough question number one, what is the appropriate level of concern for Travis E? T N? Is it none, some or a bowl loosening level of existential dread? Scott, this is kind of tough because it is it from the time you drafted him or from how you felt two and a half weeks ago, because

those might be very different. But I'm I'm starting to lean where I'm not. I don't have concerned anywhere. I was a little more concerned a couple of weeks ago. But Robinson's yards after contact have gone down all four weeks. His snaps have gone down from sixty three percent week to to fifty eight percent week three to forty seven

percent week four. He's losing his snaps to E. T N, who has gone up from thirty seven percent week to forty three percent week three, fifty one percent week For you, You'll remember in week one he got a lot of snaps and made a decent amount of errors out there. I think he got punished week two, and he's slowly building back to be that starter. Um, he's more involved in the passing game than Robinson for obvious reasons. Uh finally saw a touch count equal to Robinson's last week.

Maybe it's compared to where you drafted him, but based on where I was a few weeks ago, I have no concerns over et N. And we already talked last week about seven of the next eight games are against defense. Is ranked eighteenth or worse against running backs, like he has a great lineup of of matchups, even if he's splitting carries. I'm not worried at all, all right, So

none is yours? None? That was a long winded way to say that was but lots of good data in there, Brian, What is the appropriate level of concern for Travis E. T N? Is it none? Some or bload? I think I have one data point that Scott failed to mention there about I'm with him. I got none based on his ADP hasn't lived up to that. That's kind of concerning, but looking forward, signs are promising. His snap percentage has

gone up week over week. He out snapped James Robinson in week four, as Scott said, they had the same amount of touches. Uh. And speaking of James Robinson, he has gained more than three yards and just of his carries that's the fewest in the NFL. E t N is at he's been more efficient, alright, So no concern. There should be some concern. And we're still talking about a guy who's averaging four yards per carry, has really not put together a single meaningful fantasy game. And I

don't say how. You guys can certainly be like, oh, he's fine. But I had assumed you were gonna go I had assumed you were going to go the other direction on this. I had many of the same data points on the positive side that suggests that there could be trouble ahead for James Robinson, and but Scott already hit on many of those. I think the upside here for E. T N is he's got to grow into the receiving role that he should have already had, and for reasons I'm not clear on, they haven't used him

that way. And especially when you consider this coach of this Peterson led coaching staff traditionally threw the backs all the time and the gods all the time in college well later in college prom So what gives that, you know, if I'd like to think he's going to fill that out. There is still some level of concern for Travis et n tough. Question number two, what's the worry word charge? Well, I didn't say it was a question number two. What is the appropriate level of concern for George Kittle? Is

that none? Some? Or about a loosening level of existent hill dread Brian, I was close to bloat here, but I'm just going with some. We wouldn't you just had a near experience, but I'm just going so we would. We wouldn't be having this conversation if you got both feet down in the end zone last weekend. He was pretty pretty close. But here we are. Yes, the usage for Kiddle has been criminal, six targets in his two healthy games played so far, but he's still an elite

talent and look, tight end is a waste land. You can't panic too much about George Kittle as much with guys like Kyle Pitts and missing games. Dawson Knox is out. I mean some concerned, but I'm uploading okay, So what is the appropriate level of concern for George Kittle? None? Some or so I have some as well, And honestly, if he'd gotten his feet down and scored last week, it wouldn't have changed my answer. Really, just one red

zone target this entire year. Over his last eight games, including playoffs, he has just one game over thirty yards and just one touchdown. He's blocking it a similar level to previously, but his a dot has gone way down because they're having him chip off the line more. I believe he ran something like nineteen routes on twenty drop twenty six routes on thirty one dropbacks last week. But the problem is he's chipping a lot when he goes out for his routes, so he's not getting further down

the field. Sometimes he's not getting as open um. So I think there's some concern once he does come back. I'm I'm a little worried that, you know, that lower a dot he won't have as bigger games because he has those last year I had those huge potential blow up games. He's still like the top tight end in the league the last couple of years in yards after the catch. Still he has possibilities to have those huge games. They're probably still coming, but still some some they're not

using him the way I wish they would. They're not using They're not using George Kittle the way they should. We I brought this up, Yeah, it might have been late preseason. I think George Kittle's entire career, he's been thrown to five times on on plays inside the five yard line. It was something crazy like that. We're like, how do you not throw to him more? Um? And to Brian's point, and the correct answer is some appropriate

level of concern for George Kittle. You can't just pivot to some Rando waiver wire tight end and expect anything. It's really really hard to pull that off and very unlikely to do that on a regular pace here. You're gonna have to kind of live with that. Unfortunately, his last eight games for George Kittle two and a half catches, twenty eight yards, zero point one two, five touchdowns per game. It is never a good sign you're expressing a player's

touchdowns in the thousands place. I love that we had the same exact step but framed it in two different ways. Um, and you hit on some of my other points. He's still running a ton of route, so they just don't throw to him. But I'm not in a total panic. Yet we're not blowed yet because eventually good players get utilized, and he's too good of a player George Kittle to not be utilized. Only some concern. Tough question number three, What is the appropriate level of concern for Gabriel David None?

Some or a bowl loosening level of existential dread Scott So my answer is some here, and it's mostly because he's hurt, and he's still hurt and he's going out there hurt. Film guys, some really good film guys this week noted this. Uh, I'm black, and a couple I know, Josh Norris from Underdog was one of them, showed a couple of film clips of him like, he does not turn quickly on his routes anymore. He's not. He's not as crisp because he's harboring that injury um and he's

still playing almost all the snaps. He won't come off the field for it to heal it. So I think it's some in the short term, and if he reaggravates it, it's only going to cause more of an issue once he's healed. I wouldn't feel as bad, but it's some because he's not it doesn't seem like he's letting it heal. Okay, Brian, what is the appropriate level of concern for Gabe Davis? None? Some are blowed, Yeah, not much to add I have the same answer with some. He's been banged up. I'll

cut him a break. He had six touchdowns last year. Writ know that doesn't include the four in the Division round against the Chiefs. That was a regular season touchdowns. He had seven touchdowns in his rookie year. I trust he'll get healthy, hopefully, and when he does, he'll play every snap. Stefon Diggs draws a ton of attention, So not panicking too much yet about Gabe Davis. Just some

level of concerns. I've got none. I you know, we are still talking about a player who went berserk in the playoffs card all those touchdowns last year when biserk and we won. Then this ankle injury. I'm assuming the ankle injury that he's not going to just play hobbled all year long. That it's either going to hell or

he'll take enough time off to get it right. And I want I want part of the number two receiving option for Josh Allen once that once he's healthy, if you're good enough to dominate playoff teams, you're good enough to handle the regular season slate, which is also, by the way, very positive for the Bills. We basically had the same answer. I was just debating whether I should say some or none, because it's he's got to let

that thing. He'll Gabriel Davis will not face a defense in the top twelve against wide outs until Week sixteen, and you'll lose your fancy championship right there, right that the Bears by the It's only the Bears are only only in the top twelve because the Bills don't care. They keep passing. They showed last year they keep passing when their head they don't care. They don't care. Titans

steak on the Commanders. That's just a handful of players you're actually more than you might have guessed that we want to talk about, including Derrick Henry. Commander's past defense is awful, and the run defense is pretty good, including completely shutting down the Eagles and the Cowboys the past two weeks. Henry has been good and back to back games, including eleven targets the last two weeks. That totally unlocks

a whole different kind of upside for Derrick Henry. Washington has been solid against pass catching backs, though still hopefully Henry can chip in a bit through the air. I've just got the B grade because this is a good run defense, even though Derrick Henry's trucking right now. Ryan Tannehill was gonna take a chance, I mean quarterback, you may recall that from last hour, and that means I like his number one receiver, Robert Woods trail on Burke's is.

So Woods becomes the go to receiver against one of the league's worst secondaries. Wood runs of the team's routes, running from every spot on the field, and positive matchups no matter where he's lining up, including going up against outside cornerbacks William Jackson and Kendall full of Good detailed earlier disastrous Pro Football Focus grades, and Jackson's got an almost perfect passer rating against him one hundred fifty five and full is allowed the second most passing yards among

all cornerbacks. And that's why you could also be grade and Woods. That's why also Nick Westbrook A Kine comes in as a dart throw C grade against that same set of receiver or cornerbacks. So yeah, let's give him a crack here. What is our record for using that sounder in the show? I swear we're up to five or six. I think we're only on three. I think I've been pretty subdued with the dart throws. Right here,

it's like a game of cricket. Let's go over to I don't understand how cricket works, but I know I'm a lot less interested in any sport that takes five days. We know that the dart game cricket. Oh that game like okay, okay, got it, got it. Let's go over to the Washington side, where I've got a surprising number of starters with B grades, including all parts of the all meaningful parts of the passing game. Carson Wentz, Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, and Logan Thomas all coming in with B grades.

For once. It's been a Jekyll and Hide season. I think we're gonna get the good version. Is Jekyll's the good version or Hide the good version? Jekyll good? Pretty sure, Jackyal good? Hide bad? Okay, let's go with that. We're gonna see the jackal version against a very bad Tennessee secondary. Tennessee is a lot surrendered the third most passing yards and the most passing touchdowns in the league. Now Wentz has been sacked the league high seventeen times. When was

the league high before Thursday night? I think now Matt Ryan is the leader. He's got the extra game. Tennessee is registered ten sacks already, So you could get the meltdown, you could get the hide side of Wentz. But I'm on the Jekyl side of wins with the B grade, and that means I like McLaurin. He runs predominantly from the left side of the field. That puts him on cornerback Christian Fulton, who is allowing a perfect passer rating in his coverage. He is the only cornerback with that

horrible distinction. The Titans have yielded the fourth most yards and second most touchdowns to receivers, which is part partly why. Also, like Curtis Samuel in this game, he spent seventy of his snaps in the slot. Rail seed quarterback Roger McCreery, who's giving up an eight two catch rate. I think you're gonna get a continue to get a lot of

volume out of Curtis Samuel and then Logan Thomas. If you need a tight end, he's available, and over half of league still times are getting rocked by opposing tight ends, ranking bottom five in tight end receptions, yards and touchdowns allowed, including giving up one hundred eighty yards to tight ends last week. Logan Thomas B grade. The last guy we need to talk about, and it could be potentially in his last start of his career. Antonio Gibson. He's gotten

declining snaps in every game. He's averaging three point three yards per carry, including negative yards over expectation. He's he's given the receiving work to j. D. Mix Suckett and Brian Robinson is looming. The Titans have held opposing running

backs under seventy rushing yards per game in their last three. Basically, the only reason to c grade is on Antonio Gibson is you're hoping you can turn a dozen carries into forty yards and maybe he finds his way into the end zone before Brian Robinson shows up to take that job. Our final matchup of this segment is the Seahawks taking on the Saints. Scott Geno Smith, your offensive your reigning offensive player of the week in the NFC. Yeah, might take a chance on me player to that week. Yeah,

very nicely done, by the way. Yes, what do you think about this week tougher match up with the same How much tougher matchup? I wouldn't expect the three and twenty yards and two scores through the air forty nine and a score on the ground quite this week much tougher tests Saints Steve who is allowing two and twelve yards and a score on average, That will be much more like his first two games against the Broncos and forty niners. But in those games and in last week

he tallied six to seven rushes forty plus yards. He's got that upside that gives you a little bit more floor than those quarterbacks had on that Saints d I do have a C grade on him just for that probably over two yards score through the air, some rushing work. Um Tyler, Lockin, DK Metcalf are the only receivers I don't have a I don't have a grade on Disley that he's still splitting despite he keeps scoring touchdowns. He's

still splitting quite a bit. And the Saints are tops against tight ends holding all to twenty three yards are fewer, but Tyler Lockett and Metcalf are the only receivers I got grades on B grades for both. The hope here is Lockett and Metcalf can recreate what Thelan and Jefferson did last week in London against the Saints. Uh. That isn't unrealistic considering the Saints had previously allowed the top two receivers they feast faced to see startable level production

closer to B C level. But these two are better talents than the ones, a lot closer to Theinland and Jefferson than the ones that those other receivers that notch those totals. They also get way more volume. Um, they're combined target share with seventeen targets twenty three targets and eighteen targets each of the in the in the last three weeks. If we're talking dang near double digit targets

for each of them, I'm going to give them B grades. Um. Possibly one is gonna end up with an A. I just don't know which one because they have been flipping which one is going to be the A grade each week. UM. On the other side, uh, Andy Dalton, I do have on the bench. I know you had two in thirty six and a score last week. Um, this is uh much tougher matchup here though, against the Seahawks. Yeah, against

the Seahawks than the Vikings were. I have a B grade on Chris lave Lad the Saints in targets and yards once again on the QB change. It didn't matter except his upside maybe a bit because he didn't get as many air yards, get as much down the field, but he still saw the target volume. And with Michael Thomas out, he's going to be the main guy getting the work. Jarvis Landry has got the injury. He's questionable.

He didn't even get much work last week. With with Andy Dalton in as well, I believe he only had two catches last week if I'm if I'm thinking correctly, Um, Camar's back. Camar should be back. He says he's playing. Camara says he has a hundred percent planes, so even though he put in a couple of limited practices this week, I have an A grade in a smash spot. He had a smash spot last week, but he's got a smashed spot this week as well, possibly with Dalton's checkdowns.

I think he can do it on the ground as well. Because Seattle is allowing nearly a hundred seventy total yards on thirty touches per game to runners. Kamar is going to get most of that, especially now that Ottavia's Murray has gone shout out marketing ingram banged up, so he might get nearly all of that thirty touches. Yeah, that's it. Let's hope that Alvin Camara turns it around because his people who spent first round a pick on him are languishing. This might be, I don't know, it might be an

opportunity to buy an Alvin Kamara. Will I will say he was really going in the second. There was one person on this show talking about taking him in the first. But I'm just good. Yeah with se Kwon Barkley. Yes, yes, I was turn Barkley tomorrow will payoff. I was, I was just joking. When we come back, Eagles taking on the Cardinals will tell you what to expect from the Eagle's offense, which has been running great but not always easy to find the right player. We'll help you figure

that out when we come back Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Arch and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you. We continue analyzing all of the matchups across the NFL. Coming up next Eagles taking on the Cardinals. Brian, it's somebody every week's blowing up is a j Brown, devote Smith, and it was Miles Sanders. Who do you like to have the big game here against a relatively suspect in yielding Cardinals defense. They're they're

kind of sneaky good the Arizona defense. We'll get into that line. Just the opponents don't impress. Yeah, that's a good point. But it was Miles Sanders who went off last week. But I don't think it's gonna be him

this week. Just the sea for Sanders. The volume hasn't been there for opposing running backs against the Cardinals, just one has logged more than thirteen carries, and no loan back his top seventy rushing yards against Arizona, who just held Christian McCaffrey to twenty seven rushing yards on eight carries last week. McCaffrey did have nine catches for eighty one yards and a touchdown through the air, but Kenneth Gainwell was a threat to eat into that works. Hence

the sea for Sanders. I do have Gainwall on the bench though, just that's not the time to start Kenneth over to the wide receivers for Philly, B for a J. Brown wanted to give him an A, but no loan receiver has hit at least eighty yards against the Cardinals, and that includes Davante Adams and Cooper cup Arizona. I don't see the talent there, but this is what it is. It is what it is. Arizona is also allowed just two wide receiver touchdowns all season, uh, none over the

last two weeks. That being said, the Cardinals rank last and yards after the catch allowed, while Brown ranks six in YAK among all players. So the B for Brown and C for Davante Smith. Now, this has been the boom or bust player I think, along with Amari Cooper, the most boom and bust receivers in the league. What do you think this week? Definitely up there just to see. Uh he has the target share north of still which is good and just it's tough. You can't sit Smith.

The Eagles up the fourth highest implied team point total this week, So you're just not sitting Davante Smith. He gets to see and you're definitely not saying Dallas got it this week. He gets an A, I think I might give him the fantasy von zi ah the Cardinal. I think I do it better than Fonzie. You can tell you can tell that to Winklers and that to

Winkler personally. For me, I bet you do. The Cardinals have allowed the second most PPR points to the tight end position and have the worst team pass coverage grade according to Pro Football Focus. I just mentioned that A. J. Brown ranks six in yards after the catch among all players, Dallas Goddard second and yards all players. So I love Goddard this week, and of course he love Jalen heards. He gets an A, We're not gonna go into that any further over the Arizona side, James Conner, just to

see for him. The volume has been there, but the efficiency has been lacking. He ranks fifty among running backs and yards after contact for attempt. Since Week two, no starting running back has been able to top thirty two rushing yards against the Eagles. But Philly has allowed four rushing touchdowns in the red zone to running back to this season. That's side for second most in the NFL. So if they get in the red zone Arizona, that

is Connor has a chance to score. So if he gets to see he's Brown, he's playing at a level. But it's a tough match up here, so he just gets a B for me averaging eleven targets per game game. He should continue seeing that type of volume with DeAndre Hopkins still serving his suspension, But like I said, it's a tough matchup. The Eagles are allowing less than a hundred and forty yards per game to wide receivers as

a whole. But on the bright side, Philly has surrendered two wide receiver touchdowns in two of four games, and Terry McLaurin topped the hundred yards against them in week three. So you still gotta start Brown confidently. I'm not starting Rondelle Moore or Greg Dortch. They're both on the bench. Dorte saw just one target last week. With more back in the lineup, More caught just three passes for eleven scoreless yards, the most Ryndale Moore stat line ever pretty

much so again, tough matchup. They are both on the bench. But zach Ertz definitely not on the bench. In a revenge game against his former team, he gets a Berts is the only tight end to see at least two red zone targets in every game. He leads all tight ends in that category with ten. The Eagles allowed just

three just at Jack's. Jacksonville's tight ends last week week without playing Evan Ingram like a bunch of idiots, not Dan Are, but Minnesota's tight ends combined for seven catches, sixty four yards and a touchdown against Philly in Week two. It should have been more. Yeah, it could have been a lot more. Dropped that long one. So but you're start starting earths of confidence for sure, but not starting

Kyler Murray with confidence. I'm still starting him. Yeah, I'm gonna give him the same if you have a better option than this is one quarterback leagues only. Basically, I wouldn't I wouldn't say don't start Murray. But yeah, it's a tough matchup. Philly third in interceptions first and sacks and have yet to allow more than two hundred two

hundred twenty five passing yards in any game. The Eagles only third highest opponent passing play percentage, which is good, but they are currently allowing more rushing more yards per rushing attempt five than per pass attempt four point eight man. So Murray's gotta get going on the ground to really have a good Fantasy day here, I say I think he's bench worthy, It depends, It depends who else he

got available. Let's take Bengals and Ravens. Next. On the Bengal side, a grades for Joe Burrow, T Higgins and Jamaar Chase. You're gonna start them no matter what anyway. But I'll just punctuated by saying Baltimore is allowed the second most scores to wide receivers and they ranked dead last in yards allowed to wide receivers two hundred forty two per game just to that position. Add Alson brings

in Tyler Boyd into this conversation. Running from the slot, Boyd gets the strongest individual matchup of the Bengals receivers. The Ravens have not found a solution it slot cornerback. They tried. Their first starter was a guy named Damarian Williams. Then he was so bad they benched him, and then they tried Brandon Stevens last week, and Stevens gave up a touchdown to his as A McKenzie out of the slot last week, so they don't have a solution there and Tyler Boyd is a nice sneaky start. But is

he a yes? Why? Yes he is. He's a dark throw. He's a dark throw. Admit read us how many times that sounded? I believe that would be four dart throws in this year. I believe it's more over four dart throws. Hayden Hurts gets a C grade. The Ravens have surrendered two touchdowns of the position so far, and last season c Jozuma then with the Bengals total eight catches, a hundred twenty seven yards and two touchdowns in the two

games against Baltimore. So if Hurts can be any close to what Whosoma was last year for the Bengals, a nice start for him. See grade. And then the show Mixon, who to my eyes, just look pretty lethargic. So far he has failed to top three yards per carry in any game. Awful. Fortunately they don't stop giving him the ball. A league leading twenty five touches per game. He's got a decent matchup against the Ravens team allowing the eleventh

most total yards to opposing running backs. He's seeing, by the way, six targets per game for Joe Mixon, so he's gonna help out through the air a little bit here. B grade on Joe Mixon. Let's go over to the Baltimore side, where Mark Andrews is an obviously grade, although I don't Rashad Bateman getting ruled out does not help Mark and Rashad Bateman opens up the field with speed that he's got. I don't like that part, uh, And that's part of why I have knocked Lamar Jackson down

to a B grade. The loss of Bateman hurts is the other Whiteouts, Devin DuVernay and DeMarcus Robinson are incredibly lightly used, averaging two catches per game apiece, and all of them where Bateman has eleven catches on the season, he's got three startable weeks because eleven catches on the season. Since I know, um, I just don't know where they go to manufacture a bunch of reps for Lamar Jackson and this one basically you're hoping he runs you to

a big game. And he ran for eighty eight yards in last year's meeting against the Bengals, so maybe that's um, maybe that's a sign. So hopefully a B grade and Lamar Jackson and then um, I've got Devin Duverney on the bench. Just the the two three targets per game and two receptions. And by the way, the cornerbacks are Cincinnati Eli Apple and Shadowia Woozy Air playing very well, so I don't I don't think we're gonna go that

far down the depth chart in this one. Lastly, j K Dobbins only three point two yards per carry last week, but he got the two touchdowns against a very and Bill's defense and established himself as the go to runner. Justice Hillsman ruled out of this game. Cincinnati's run defense is good. No back is top fifty three yards, so we're really looking for more short touchdown runs from j K. Dobbins. Our final matchup of this segment forty Niners taking on

the Panthers. Scott. Yeah, so let's start on the fourt Niners side. Jimmy G's let's start with this. The Panthers d ranks pretty much middle of the pack against every position. Uh, just last year they were very good against most positions they were. J. C. Horne is an emerging elite quarterback. Yes, Jacob where where where was that? Jacoby Brissetts and Brissett and Daniel Jones had bad days, but then they allowed

three and fifty three and score to Winston. That was That's really why they're in the middle of the pack. Three score day to kyler Um. Some good ones, some bad ones. I got Jimmy g on the bench though. But I do have an A grade on Curtis Samuel. You're you're not, but nobody's pentioned deep deepo Samuel at all um. Yeah, the lead receiver against the Panther's the last two weeks combined for fifteen catches, two and thirty

five yards in a score. I do have Brandon Auk on the bench, avaging just three catches and forty six yards per game. That's barely even sea level. And if you look at the second wide receiver against the Panthers, two for eleven, five for fifty, like these are the top games against this Panthers as the second receiver, I'm leaving him on the bench. I do have a C

grade on Kittle. As we kind of mentioned in the previous segment of three tough questions, you're not benching him because just because he's got the obvious upset of a hundred plus day and a bunch of catches, but just if you yeah, exactly where you're gonna pivot too. And just just recently Earth's had a forty seven yard day and a score against the Panthers, so it ken get done. They've they've allowed some okay days, some to Earth's in a couple other middle of the pack tight ends. So

I give him a C grade. Jeff Wilson Jr. B grade. The best part of Wilson's usages he sees it all. He has thirty three he's he has thirty three touches to three for other runners, and two of those were use check, you know, like, so he gets everything out there in those he had In the last couple of the two games with Mitchell and TDP ty Davis price out, he had a hundred eighty total yards in the score,

so he's averaging about ninety. The Panthers got crushed by the Browns and Runners in Reek one Week one, but I allowed about eight yards per game sense to the lead running back. That's probably where Jeff Wilson Jr. Is gonna lie this game. Eight to ninety yards you hope for a score. But the Panthers have not allowed a touchdown to a lead runner yet this year, so only the b for Wilson over to the Panthers side. I have, once again for the second week in row, the entire

passing game on the bench. I just can't trust Baker the best defense in the league. They have the number one pressure pressure rate on quarterbacks in the league. They get pressure on the quarterback on of their place. So not looking good for Mayfield. D J. Moore at eleven targets last week, catching six for five d That's an okay fantasy day. The matchup isn't great. Um the volume paired with being the top target against the forty nine the last couple weeks where nine hundred seven eight two.

I actually just changed my mind. I think I'm giving d J Morris c I don't love it, but the top five receivers see it. Yeah, this is a This is a nine back on the bench points per game. Fine back on the bench number two and that of that offense is gonna have trouble. Movie. I changed my mind again. Back on the bench. Christian McCaffrey A grade. Yeah, yeah, I don't agree. Let's hear it. Well. His worst rushing day of the year is is nine for eighty one

yards in the score. His worst rushing yard year. Game of the Year is coming up this Sunday. Okay, they're giving up two point eight yards per carry. This is the number one run defense in the NFL. That that is true, but it's also Christian McCaffrey. And when when they get behind, which they will. Mayfield showed last week they just targeted McCaffrey like crazy when they get behind. You don't think that. I don't think you're catching and targets. I think I think the Niners are good enough to

snuff that out too. You're a lot more optimistic. I wouldn't give him an A. That wouldn't say him benching him. But they're allowing five to six receptions a game to running back. All right, fine, B plus B plus. Then I do want to say, last segment, I failed to mention Rashad Penny. I don't know how I did. I

I actually gave him an A grade. You look on paper and you think New Orleans is a tough a tough matchup for runners, but each lead running back this season against them had twenty two or more touchers, averaging over a hundred yards Against the Seeds. Penny saw seventeen touches last week when he gets sixteen more touch does touches hundred thirty five score hundred thirty two scores hundred fifty seven and two scores hundred eighty five and two

scores hundred ninety yards in the score. That's what he does with sixteen plus touches. I see him getting that again here. Well maybe not those stat lines, but I see him getting those touchcounts. A grade on Penny Well going back. I like it. You notice you missed it. When we come back, we'll jump in the time set to give you three players to pick up this week who you'll be glad you have next week. There was a little Alec Pierce last week and uh well should week.

Somebody else had a nice hit on that too. I'm trying to think of who was a Tyler l Gear? Is that what you mentioned? I don't remember. Stay tuned Premature speculation. When we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Jarchi and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you. This segment always leads off with premature speculation. We give you three players that

are probably available in your league. The you can pick up now when other people will be trying to pick up next week. Scott, I'll let you begin. Did you who does your premature speculation player? First off, I want a petition to get the quantum leap leaping sound as our time machine sound going forward. I think we should talk about this in in the coming weeks. I'm all for it, alright, I'm not married to alrightee to it? Does that? I know what it would sound like. Would

it even sound like anything? We don't know. We'll just assume. Uh Khalil Shakire is my guy with a broken ankle to Crowder who was splitting reps with Mackenzie. Uh Kalil Shakire came in and split reps last week. Mackenzie has a concussion, has not cleared protocol yet. If he doesn't go, Shakire might be the starting slot receiver for an offense that targeted this lot more than any other offense in

the last year, in four games or whatever. Uh. He could start to ball out here, and you want to get him before he balls out, and then everybody's going after him with waivers next week. All right, your premature speculation player, Brian got Jacksonville wide receiver Jamal Agnew, who scored twice last week. With Z Jones out, Agnew could be a key component to now dangerous Jacksonville offense. Z Jones is coming back this week, so ag Knew probably

to the bench, will still play. But if one of the Joneses gets hurt on the outside like happened last week, Christian Kirk goes to the outside and Agnew's in the slot. If Kirk gets hurt, Agnew will take over the slot and Agnew can produce when given the opportunity. He's now seen at least six targets in four of Jacksonville's last eleven games, and in those four games, he's averaging five plus catches and fifty plus yards with three total touchdowns.

So Jamal Agnew is multiple Jones. Jones is Jones, Jones, I j Jones. If either the Jones I get her to get hurt, I think I like that better. And that's Marvin and Z from Marvin. Yeah no, no no relation, No relation by premature speculation. Player. Now this is a little complex. Just stick with me on this, Okay. This is fantasy football four thousand level, okay. Cor Darryl Patterson's on I R and that means he's gonna miss at least a month and maybe more, but no less than

a month. And without him this week, the Falcons are gonna try Tyler L. Gear and Caleb Huntley on Sunday in a brutal matchup with Tampa Bay's elite run defense, and they are likely to unimpress. And then, conveniently, Damien Williams comes off i R next week to resume his spot as Patterson's immediate backup. He's gonna walk into the starting job. You can go pick up a starting NFL running back right now for next week in Damien Williams.

Now complicated, complicated, there's a lot of this. This well, your your professor for the layman. This Damian Williams angle is extremely sophisticated. Now it's a rib injury for him. It's not a leg injury. It's not something it's gonna hampers running and all probability he could have already come back. Um. Now, it's a tough matchup now this week against the forty

nine years for Damian Williams. So you may have to show caution and starting him next week, but after that it's clear sailing Williams and Arthur Smith mentioned this week. When asked about him, he about next week's matchup, he basically said, we'll be getting him back, So it sounds like he's Damien Williams available in I'm gonna make this up three and a half. Let's go to our final

set of matchups, beginning with the Cowboys taking on the Rams. Bryan, Yeah, starting with the Zekiel elliott I was close to a bench grade here, but I can give him a see based on volume. He's hopecially if Paula doesn't play, especially if Paula doesn't play. Paula on the bench either way.

By the way, but Zeke has at least fifteen carries in three straight games, and it's possible that Dallas dominates time of possession of this game because the Rams offense has been that bad in Dallas' defense has been that good. But on paper it's a bad matchup for Zeke. The Rams have allowed the fewest fantasy points to running back

so far the season. So just to see for Zeke uh the opposite well, I don't know if it's an opposite of a sea, but it's an a for seedeve lamb uh gone or the days of fearing Jalen Ram he is a shutdown quarter He's falling off that Josh Norman Cliff l A has been shredded by wide receivers, allowing more than seventeen catches, two hundred and twelve yards and one and a half touchdowns per game to the position, and Lamb has turned into a target hog, which is

what we all expected on this show. So easy A for c d and uh CE for Michael Gallup and Noah Brown. Gallops route participation was over in his first game back last week. He also scored a touchdown, which was very encouraging. I like him more than Brown, but I would start both because again, this is such a cake matchup for wide receivers, but not so much for Dalton Schultz. He is making his return this week, but

I have him on the bench. The Rams ranked second and fewest fantasy points allowed to tight ends, and that includes shutting down guys like Dawson Knox, zach Ertz and George Kittle. So on bench benching Shultz this week. But Cooper cut I still do it Cooper rush and they're playing in the same game. Cooper rush with Scott's take a chance of a quarterback, so he is not on the bench over to the am side, starting with Cam Acres, who was I'll give him a scene start running back

in the league. Cowboys are allowing four yards per carrying more than five catches per game to opposing running backs. What I mentioned earlier. Uh Acres is still the starter, but he only had nine opportunities last week to the eleven from Darryl Henderson. Henderson was way more productive. That's why I used my take a chance on me running back. I like him more than Acres, so but they both basically get to see here. Who does not get to see as Cooper Cup in a I want to say

some things here. It's an obviously. I think we have the time. Nineteen targets last week, the Cup the rest of the Rams Rams wide receivers combined for nine nine times they were targeted. There we go comin now. The Cowboys are top twelve and the fewest catches, yards and touchdowns allowed to wide receivers. But Cup has played over

fifty of his snaps from the slot meeting. He see he'll see plenty of fifth round rookie Torn Bland, who was targeted eleven times last week by Washington, allowing nine catches for nine yards of Cooper. Cooper Cup should be in for a big day. Allen Robinson Polleague not in for a big day. He was on the bench. Russell Wilson the last couple of years. I was so wrong on Alan Robinson, Like that might have been my biggest miss.

I'm not. I was very high on him too. I'm like, I'm not dropping him yet, but this is not the matchup for him to get right. He is on the bench. Tyler Higbee not on the bench, So I'm gonna give him a B in the tight end waste Land. Through four games, he leads all tight ends and total targets, and the Cowboys have allowed the seventh most perceptions too tight ends this season. So start Higbee with confidence, but do not start Matt Stafford. I got him on the bench.

The Cowboys have allowed just three passing touchdowns through four games, and just one opposing quarterback has been able to crack two hundred yards and that was Tom Brady with two hundred and twelve in Week one. Stafford's offensive line isn't shambles. He's been sacked sixteen times already, which is very bad news considering the cowboys only fourth highest sack percentage in the league. Thankfully on gay in most parts of Michael Parsons, Who's a beast? He is a beast. Final matchup is

your Monday Night at Raiders taking on the Chiefs. Davante Adams obvious A. But let's move on to Hunter Renfro making his return from concussion. He's gonna draw Lagarius Sneed in the slot. Snead is a lot of completion rate of seventy eight percent. He's given up two touchdowns in

a passer rating of a hundred twenty one. He was targeted sixteen times in his two games before the concussion Renfro was, so I think he goes back to getting heavy doses here and to B grade on Hunter Renfroll, let's get him back into lineups that really hurts Mac Hollins. Presumably Renfro is gonna eat into the production you've seen because Hollands was good in the games without Renfron did very little with the games with Renfro. So I'm still keeping a C grade on him because he's performed well.

He'll match up on the outside with Jalen Watson and Rashad Fenton, middling talents with Pro Football Focus grades of cornerback fifty two and cornerback fifty four, respectively. So I've got an a B in a C gray aid on the receiver. So I've got a B grade on Derek Carr. Real quick on Renfrown his two games against the Chiefs last year thirteen for one and seventeen in a touchdown, seven forty six and a touchdown. We would take that. Yeah,

not bad Derek Carr. Every opposing quarterback has multiple touchdowns and two of the last three of top three hundred thirty four yards. So I like that against the Chiefs. Chiefs run defense has been great and that's gonna force more throws from Car. Chiefs are seeing the second most pass attempts and that volume is gonna aid Car as well. I think he's a safe B in this one. Let's talk about Josh Jacobs. Our preseason talk about the Raider.

Remember in preseason we're like, Hey, maybe they're just gonna grind up Josh Jacobs and use them all up and then let him go to free agency. That's happening right now, and that's good for fantasy use. He's got a hundred thirty more snaps than any other veggat runner he said almost five yards per carry. But the Chiefs are allowing the fewest rushing yards just fifty two per game, and they're only giving up three point one yards per carry.

Now he is where Jacobs can help you. Kansas City is dead last in receptions and receiving yards two runners. They're giving him ten catches in seventy yards per game. Jacobs is not a gifted receiver, but I could see him getting four or five catches for forty or fifties. He can do it. He can remember the overreaction because he played like two series in the Hall of Fame game and everything like, oh he's a bone. He's playing in the preseason, right, be great on Josh Jacobs based

on him helping you out in PPR as well. Let's go to the Kansas City side. Obviously, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey were obvious, as that only leaves us with a couple more players to talk about. Ju Juice Smith Schuster behind only Travis Kelsey and targets. He's hauled in at least five passes and three or four games, so

he gives you a little bit of a floor. Mahomes has torched the Raiders for eleven passing touchdowns in the last four meetings, so you figure this one has got a decent chance to be Juju Smith Schuster's first touchdown as a member of Kansas City. He's gonna face struggling cornerback a Meek Roberts and the most he's allowed to score in two of the last three games, and he's surrendered a perfect one D fifty eight point three passer

rating against Denver's aerial attack last week. Russell Wilson led aerial attack last week, and that leaves us with Clyde Edwards Hilaire inexplicably coming off his best game of the year against Tampa's elite run defense one week after giving you zero rushing yards. Total volatility here, but at last he's carved out some consistency through the air. He's hauled in thirteen of fourteen targets, He's scored three times through the air, and the Raiders are allowing the fourth most

receiving yards to opposing running backs. So I think he's gonna help you out one way or another, and largely through the air. So we'll get a B grade on Clyde Edwards how you feel about him generally, But Jacob will take over that job sooner than later, not this week probably if you're watching that guy run mean, man, are we dropping Russell Wilson out right? Sure? Yeah? You

know how I feel. Yeah, I've been very clear. We were we were in we were in lock step on this weeks ago where we talked about how this was Russell Wilson, the guy we had saw Earlian was exactly who he was gonna be. So now you're heading into next week's waiver claims. I think you're dropping Russell Wilson Wilson Country. Is it even a sabotage? I don't know that he gets picked up. Honestly, he's just now an open roster spot. It's right, it's not a sabotage. Drop.

Talk to me about the the backfield for Denver. What did we learn on Thursday about Melvin Gordon? Boone? Anybody else that you might that might have caught your eye? R Boone looked a little Gordon had over a hundred compyards. Boone looked more explosive than didn't He just three point six yards per carry from Melvin Gordon, which is what

he's been giving you all year too. It's bringing nothing to the table and well didn't you almost fumbled, almost fumbled, but did not end up losing a fumble last game. I think Mike Boon is still lurking as a potential issue, and maybe Latavius Murray long term because I don't trust Melvin Cordon to hold that Las Murray hasn't fumbled in twenty one games.
