Fantasy Football Weekly Week 10

Fantasy Football Weekly is brought to you by fanball dot Com, town Hall Family, Greater Twin Cities, Honda Dealers, Show Sensors, Hudson, Ford and by Park Tavern now Wow along with fanball dot Com, Scott Fish, Matt Harrison, and Brian in Johnson Fans, it is week number ten. Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. I am Paul Charchy and my co host today or Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. Good morning, guys. Is that a tribute to the long lost Christian Peterson

right there? Sure? Yeah? We like that, Um, we don't like Christians just like Yeah, he apparently don't hasn't been on the show in two years now because he won't come on the show too good for us. That's you know, if you're gonna say you're too good for us, then yes, that was the case. Church. You'll appreciate this, and it was something that connects with our fantasy football almost daily podcast. We did an appliance draft at lunch the other day.

Was Christian. I could just do it out of my kitchen because all I've done is buying new appliances for the last year. I can tell you which ones you do not want to fall into. I can I can rank them, um, and the one you really don't want to fall into, other than the burning oven, I think would probably be the dishwasher. Take it from me, um Plenty to get to over the course of the show

is our usual stuff. But I've got two things that I want to talk about before we got dive into our matchups and are take a chance on me and everything else? Number One, the news in Baltimore that Joe Flacco may miss an extended period of time there. I'm by this week coming out of the by the presumption is that Lamar Jackson will be the starter, but we

don't know for sure. There are some reports saying, you know that r G three is technically the number two quarterback I guess on the depth chart, but they because they like the running that Lamar Jackson can do and all the hybrid stuff they've been utilizing him and for gadget place. But that doesn't mean that if they need an every damn quarterback they'd go to Jackson. What are your thoughts on acquiring either of the Ravens quarterbacks? So what this says to me is that the Ravens aren't

quite ready to move on from Joe Flacco yet. The only reason you do not start the Lamar Jackson era and and go with Bobby three sticks Robert Griffin. The third is you're not ready to move on from Joe Flacco because you can easily go back from Griffin to Flacco. But if Lamar Jackson comes in and has a couple

of good games, there's no turning back. So I think that they still have some legitimate loyalty to Joe Flack, which he very If Lamar Jackson does get in there Cincinnati, Oakland, Atlanta to start out, That's why I'm picking up Lamar Jackson.

You guys are putting us in fantasy terms. I mean, I say, you know, my immediate response on Twitter was go get Lamar jack He was picked up everywhere within five minutes of Yeah, you have to, because uh, you're gonna get from Lamar Jackson probably RB two running numbers like fifty yards rushing and a coin flips chance at at a at a touchdown, which is you know what you're getting when you're starting Keevin Coleman, right, and then

all the passings just gravy. Basically, if he can throw for hundred ninety yards and a touchdown, that's just all bonus points. That's a that can be in sort of like Robert Griffin the third when he was before yeah, right, when he could actually run. So I'm I'm I'm actually pretty excited about Jackson. Um already had him, had had him statted from the beginning of the year in a couple of leagues. But there's a I highly recommend that people go out and get Lamar Jackson and see how

this thing plays out. Robert Griffin and even if Robert Griffin were the game the first starter with Flacco out, does not mean Griffin will be the game too starter with with Flacco out. So let's get Lamar Jackson. Keep our fingers crossed that they go to the first round rookie next hypothetically, and this is the case for a lot of our listeners. You're down by fifty points after

the crazy explosion of points that came on Thursday night. Guys, give some advice to those people that are already down by a wide margin. What do you do? Just hang it up, just talking out. Don't even try quit fantasy football altogether. I mean, yeah, it's just over. It's high risk, high reward guys. You you look at your wide receiver to wide receiver three and your flex plays, and you go, which guy has the crazy high upside but the crazy low floor, and and you try to just hit on

a couple of those. It's it's got to be playing the same with the ones that were close. Like if you have two quarterbacks and one is fits and one is like Dalton has the higher upside. And I think throughout the show today, when we're going through the matchups, maybe we can use like some sort of sound or something like that to to signify some of these players that doesn't seem high upside while you're down by fifty.

If you're down by fifty right now, that's that's how you're feeling Okay, the sad trombone play, We're gonna call it. We can do this. The vulture doesn't really make sense. We need that better, No, we really do. It'll come up with something. There's gonna be some amazing comebacks by

teams though stories I think there will be. Yeah. The thing you're missing on is get try to hook up together quarterback wide receiver so that if your wide receiver goes off, he takes the quarterback with him, or vice versa. The quarterback goes off, he probably you know you've got something out of your out of your your receiver as well. Well, how about this too, If your quarterback is playing your opponent's wide receiver or vice versa, do you try to

avoid those matchups? Well, yeah, I mean I think. Well let's so let's flip it over. Let's say you're protecting a fifty point lead, like because of a lot of our listeners are very savvy fantasy players, of course, so let's assume any of them are protecting a fifty point lead right now, flip it over for them and talk about what you do to make sure that you don't end up on the wrong side on Sunday. Well, super

safe plays. If uh, if I'm the Drew Breese owner and my opponent's got Michael Thomas, I'm very happy having Drew Brees in my lineup because every Michael Thomas touchdown down to so that that's kind of how you play. You just you just go ultra safe and and you go for the guys that are lower. You look at receivers who catch a lot of passes and will give you your PPR points and not necessarily, say a Tyler Lockett who needs to turn three receptions into a touchdown.

If Tyler Lockett doesn't give you the touchdown, you're stuck. You want Jarvis Landry's of the world. You do you want Jarvis Landry. You want your safe plays right down the middle of the fairway if you're up by fifty points. All right, let's dive into the matchups, beginning with probably the least interesting one of the entire day, Bills taking on Jets. We have two new quarterbacks at home in all probability for this game at the entire day, try the entire year. While that could be too um, I've

got Buffalo on the bench. Okay, as a team, Yeah, the team is on the bench. The Bills have not thrown a touchdown pass in three weeks. They have three passing touchdowns on the season to sixteen interceptions. That's unbelievable. Also, the Bills running backs have not run for a touchdown since Week two. God, that's that's unreal. That's the worst offense maybe in the history of the league. It's it's gonna be in that conversation if they don't turn it around.

And so let's flip it over to the Jet side. Isaiah Crowle and Elijah McGuire are my only starters on the Jets side, and they're barely starters like c minus starters. The Bills have allowed twelve touchdowns to running backs in nine games. That's the good part. The only problem is is now we're looking at a split timeshare backfield and only one back is top the century mark against them. I'm not excited about either, but either are available to be played. Uh. Josh McCown is starting for the Jets

as quarterback. He's on the bench. The Bills are only allowing two or twenty five passing yards per game. That's tied for the third fewest in the NFL. Robby Anderson has an ankle injury, he may not go, and he was an account's favorite target last year. Quincy and None one Jermaine Curse are both on the bench as well, and none was pretty much moved to the outside now and Curses moved inside as the slot received around an

almost full time basis. Yeah, but now with the change of quarterbacks, so you under Darnald it was just like, you know, we just fed the slot over and over and over again. But now we're at McCown, so you know, McCown was not as slot oriented in the past. Thing I'm worried about is ann one matches up with tred Davis White, who's a well above average cornerback in the NFL, so he's on the bench, and then Chris Herndon, who scored in three of his last four, but that was

all with Donald. I don't know the relationship between McCown and Herndon. Thank you sage like wisdom from Scott Fish and the Bills are only allowing four receptions in forty one yards per game to opposing tight ends, so it's not something I want to chase after here with Herndon. Um, I think overall the Jets are better. Honestly, the way that Donald had played for the last month. The whole offense is a little bit better with Josh McCown, even

on zero reps for this year. I think the over under in this game is thirty seven, and I think i'd take the under. Scott Seahawks taking on the Rams. This is a surprisingly good Seahawks defense, and um, does this present any problems for the Rams. I'm just to hear what you have to think. I don't know. The last game they played one kind of the shootout actually, UM, Seahawks. Obviously you can tell by the score. She has almost

won that game. It was it was touch and go. Yeah, they really did, and they did it on the ground with thirty four touches to running back. Say, I wonder if that's a little bit of the blueprint to hold the Rams down. UM, let's start with a running game instead here we usually start with the passing. Let's start with the running game. Uh. Carson has been questionable a week. It's likely he's going to play. If he doesn't, Mike

Davis is a huge must play. Mike Davis has has been the starter twice this year, and he was RB six and RB eleven in those two starts, so he's a definite start if if not, Carson gets a two to one advantage in touches. Usually, So I meet Carson a B grade and Davis a C grade because I although there's a scenario out there which is tricky where Carson's active, but maybe they don't use them or they give them much reduced role. It's very it's very difficult

to project here. You guys remember Penny, Yeah, that was funny. No, no, I don't even know who you're talking. I think I think he plays a couple of shole team snaps every once in a while for a first rounder. Uh, kind of like Corderol Patterson for US for a while. Um Russell Wilson gave him a B grad's he's starting to heat up. He has seventy six rushing yards over the

last three games. He only had forty two rushing yards in the first five games toital He's starting to add those rushing yards to his UH, to his uh, you know, inventory of points he's getting or whatever. It has potential for a good game script for for Wilson. I think it's possible they fall behind, very very possible they fall behind and have to keep catching up. So I have a B grade on Russell Wilson here. I give most of his receivers bs and seas as well. Baldwin looks

like he's gonna play. I barely give him a B grade. He has seventy five plus yards in two of the last three. He's super inconsistent, but he's still the his Russell Wilson's number one guy. It's a unsteady, unsteady B grade. He gets the best cornerback the Rams half too, though, Nickel, Robie Coleman and not. So I like his one on one matchup the East out of the group. You're you like Baldwin more than Baldwin jumps around. He's like he's normally a slock guy. But it's only like so he

does jump around. Uh lock it B grade. I almost considered an age just because Marcus Peters is game destroyed constantly. Um, Baldwin being in is is the scary thing because with Baldwin out, Uh, he topped fifty yards in every game and scored in two of them. With Baldwin in, he hasn't topped three catches yet this season. That once, Yeah, it's he's he's You've got to get the touchdown out to lock it, but it could happen in this game, and he's had six touchdowns in eight games, so it

could definitely happen. I have a B grade, unlock it, a C grade on more barely it becomes very safe if Baldwin comes out. But he has five red zone targets in the last three weeks, scoring scoring in three of them, and Russell Wilson trusted him with the very last play the game last week, which tells tells me a lot about his trust and David Moore around the end zone. So C grade there, goff. Basically, I gave all a's to the Rams except for Cooks. I gave a B and I'll explain why a second, but Golf

A grade. My only concern here is the Seahawks have not allowed its top twelve fantasy quarterback yet this season. It's shocking to me. Now they played a lot of garbage quarterbacks. That's exactly where I was gonna go, So I'm not gonna go over it. But yes, they played a lot of garbage, A lot of garbage quarterback. Um uh yeah, I lost my train of thought there, but I I really I stopped on your Yeah, exactly exactly.

It's fine. Golf had five has five hundred yard games and five multi touchdown games, and see has a lot of back to back touch multi touchdown games to quarterbacks. I'm still gonna give him an a here, can I can I mention my my golf stat that I may have mentioned last week, But I just think it's so salient here, and it's playing itself about about Girly. When Girly only only scores one or zero rushing touchdowns, Jared

Goff absolutely goes off. His average game when Gurley only has zero or one touchdowns is three fifty yards and three almost three and a half touchdowns per game. So if Gurly doesn't eat all the touchdowns, Golf gets them, so they're always going to score the points. So to me, it's always all about how good is Gurly going to be? Is the first question. Yeah, so, yeah, exactly, But I think Golf is startable either way. And he's a low a even in the for me in the in those

other games, but he's made grade here. Wood's given a grade because he's the super consistent target leader. Five catches and seventy yards or more than those in eight straight games. Uh, Cooper Cup. I love Cup. I think this is a great spot for him. He gets justin Coleman, who plays off his slot receiver by six point eight yards. Why that's relevant is that when Russell Wilson targets Cooper Cup and there's more than five yards cushion, he has a near perfect passer rating. Uh and uh, it's just a

smash spots here. Eight team catches, eight yards and three touchdowns. He just if they do that, if they did that to Cup, He's gonna hit Cup all day long. Cooks. I give the B grade here too. Uh. Cup and Woods have scored fourteen and a a half Fantasy points more than fourteen and a half Fantasy points all but one time combined. Cooks has done it four of eight wakes. He does it every other week, and this is an off week for him, so that's that's kind of random.

But he can get the two for fifty two. He could explode. He's still gonna be He's still startable. But he's the one that I'm most concerned about. Interesting. Robert Woods is another one of these safe right down the middle wide receivers. Right, you want your seventy yards and your six receptions and Woods chips in another ten. Here's your guy to help protect your fifty point lead from

Brandon Cook exactly. He's the guy you need for the McCaffrey deficit correct correct or the Bendom deficit or the Antonio Brown deficit. Yes, anyway, but by the way, a Cup is scored in four straight, five of six where he played the full game. How about that? Yeah, he quietly Cup his like up. He was a top five red zone guy last year and this year in games play, So going forward, Cooper Cup top ten receiver because nobody's

thinking that. But I bet if we look at his full game averages, I bet he's a top ten receiver in fantasy. Yeah. I think it's pretty close. I bet it's close right there. I bet quietly Cooper Cup is right around a top ten wide receiverate twelve team league. He's probably a wide receiver one. When we come back, Lions take on the Bears. Will tell you if the Lions offense is going to get back on track after last week's to backle when we return, this is take

a chance on me? Is how about that? All right? This is very wow. This is how you a woman's woman. Maybe this would be in the background of some Come of age teenage eighties film, right during some some scene in which Mike Lanthony Hall is half naked, come on tripping over his underwear. Somedays take a chance on me, right, Well, take a chance on me. Nine players not normally in your starting lineup. All three of my guys are waiver wire players, and I think most of these are our

guys that are available on the waiver wire. They've all got good upside. You're down by a lot. Think about these guys beginning eat the quarterback position, Scott uh So, I'm going with Marcus Mariota. Mariota has just one game over two yards on the season and failed to even get a touch on four of seven. That's what worries That's what worries me, Okay, but he has a similar skill set to Trabinsky, who had who had three and thirty two and two and eight one in one rushing

against them. I think there's a lot of garbage time here and the pets on the rutor allowing just over three hundred yards and two touchdowns per game. So I like that angler. I actually think it's passing hasn't been half bad. Matt your quarterback. First off, I have to read a text message from my wife Melissa, who says, nope, not how you Thank God, well done Melissa. Yes, my take a chance on me. Quarterback is Baker Mayfield, who's

available and I think has some huge upside here. Uh. The Falcons have given up over three hundred yards passing to six of the eight quarterbacks they faced on the season, and three or more touchdown passes to five of those six quarterbacks. So five quarterbacks have topped three hundred and had at least three touchdowns. Amazing. That's nuts. Now, Baker hasn't topped the three hundred yard mark in the last four weeks, but he has thrown multiple touchdown passes in

each of his last three. I like that streak to continue this week. I like him too. You know, Baker keeps having these easy matchups and he hasn't really exploited him yet. Maybe this is the one where it all comes together. Josh Rosen goes up against Kansas City and before last week's by he you may have not remembered,

and I don't blame you. He's had his best game ever two hundred fifty two yards and two touchdowns for Josh Rosen, Larry Fitzgerald finally healthy for the first time since September, and David Johnson has an awesome matchup through the air. The Kansas City secondary playing better middle of the pack anyway, but every opposing quarterback except Case Keenum has scored against them, and the Cardinals sixteen point underdogs are likely to be playing from behind and throwing constantly

in this game. I love David Johnson by himself might power Josh Rosen to a huge game through the air. Let's go to the running back position, Scott, I'm going way off for it here with a guy named Josh Adams for the Eagles. UH. Adams said. Adams lead the team and carries last week, you know, before the bye, and he has fifty of the team's running back to attempts inside the tent over the last two weeks. He's a bigger back. He average six point eight yards per

carrying that game against Jacksonville, which is pretty good run defense. UH. Cowboys will be without Sean Lee and Sprawls. Darren Sprawls is already marked out. They know what they have in small Wood and Clement. I can see them giving Adams a legit shot here Okay, I've got Edo Smith of the Falcons going against Cleveland. He's due for about twelve ish touches in this game, splitting time with Tevin Coleman, but the matchup is just too juicy to pass on.

The Browns are bottom ten and nearly every statistical category against opposing running backs. They're allowing an average of a hundred and seventy two total yards per game to the position that's tied, and they're tied for the most rushing touchdowns allowed. The Falcons rank number eight in the NFL in yards created before contact, So they're opening holes and

they're getting Edo open along the way. All right, I've got Spencer wear against Arizona, and I I like this one as much as I liked Duke Johnson last week, which, by the way, I couldn't help but bring up, wait, it's not on here? Where is what happened? Did Tony take it with him? D I got two heavy carbons and I don't have a I don't have a peacock. But there it is. There's the peak. Where did the from the button bar? Oh? This is not cool. There it is there we go, thank you, uh Spencer? Where

the Chiefs are gonna roll in this game. As I mentioned with Josh Rosen and backup runners, Spencer, where it's gonna get a lot of run in this game. Arizona sees the most rushing attempts by a mile, thirty four per game. No chance Kareem Hunt gets thirty four carries in this game in a one sided blowout. Here's what some of the other backups have done against the Cardinals. Royce Freeman scored a touchdown. Alfred Morris put up ninety yards.

These are all guys in a backup capacity. Rashad Penny put up a career high fifty yards, Teri Cohen's seventy yards, Malcolm Brown forty five yards, Chris Thompson hundred thirty yards and a touchdown. All backup running backs. Arizona ranks thirty one in rushing yards allowed per game. Every opponent except San Francisco scored a rushing touchdown against them. Spencer, Where let's go our final position receivers, Scott, Yeah, I'm gonna go with John Ross. I think it's an upside dart

throw here. He's finally healthy, finally over that growing injury. Has been practicing all week. He had ten targets in the two games prior to missing missing time from that injury. Fastest receiver in the NFL, Bengals have been playing catch up with a J. Green out. All right, I've got a deep deep dart throw here. It's Brashad Paraman, the first round pick. That is deep. He's playing for Cleveland

now he's only played three games. Uh. Antonio Callaway's playing time was cut significantly last week in the debut of new offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens. Callaway only ran twenty nine routes. Pairman ran nineteen and out of all of the secondary receivers for Cleveland, Pairman led the team in targets with six. So the Falcons have allowed the seventh most receptions, third most yards and touchdowns to the wide receiver position. Pairman is a sneaky player on his outside. That is a

deep fast receivers no hands, Yeah, there's that. I'm going with Maurice Harris wide receiver for the Redskins, Morris Mo Harris. Uh. He he should work mostly out of the slot, which is the bucks Achilles heel. They continue to start the absolutely dreadful M. J. Stewart, perhaps the worst starting cornerback in the NFL allowing He's allowing an almost perfect passer rating of one hundred forty eight in his coverage nice,

which is almost unthinkable. Slot receivers Tyler Boyd, Juju Smith, Schuster, Jarvis Landry, Nelson Aguilar all piled up at least eighty eight receiving yards on M J. Stewart four out of the five score touchdowns. Harris last week ten catches one D twenty four yards. He could go back to back. I know I don't have to pile on, but on that slot thing. They've allowed the most yards and most receptions to the slot in the NFL. There you go. Perfect.

Maurice Harris is our guy. Um so that I think virtually all nine of those guys, so the exception of Baker Mayfield, I think eight of the nine are on waiver wires. Those are some deep sleepers and leeld Yeah, you're probably right, and not I don't think so. I don't think so. Lions take on the Bears. Let's start on the Lions side where Matthew Stafford just got done absorbing ten sacks at the hands of the Vikings, and here comes Khalil Mack in the Bears defense. That ranks

six in sacks in the NFL. Chicago sack Stafford seven times in the two games last year, and that was before Khalil mac got there. I'm worried about Matthew Stafford's health and and frankly his his entire future here. The Lions offense looked utterly discombobulated last week without Golden Tate. I'm not sure it gets better this week. If Stafford is gonna be harried for the whole game, I've got him as a B grade, but it feels like now that I'm talking about it feels like more like a

C grade for Matthew Stafford. Let's talk about his receivers. Marvin Jones in the first game without Golden Tate lad all the Detroit receivers in targets, receptions, and yards. So maybe that's going to be a sign and a glimmer of hope for Marvin. Jones has been pretty inconsistent this year. In two meetings with the Bears last year, he put up exactly eighty five yards, which is very solid. He scored once they'll see a lot of Prince of Mukamara was just the middle of the road cornerback B grade

and Marvin Jones C grade, and Kenny Golladay. In two games against Chicago last year, he caught six passes. Yeah, Colladay runs most of his routes from Kyle Fuller's side of the field, and that's not good. In five of the past six games, receivers have not topped forty one yards in Kyle Fuller's coverage. Only one has scored in the past six games. Kenny Golladay is just a C

grade start. Going to the running game, carry On Johnson last week's out and was the first time Johnson was held under five yards per carry when he got among games of which got at least double digit rush attempts. The Bears have been very good against the run, especially the last two weeks without Khalil Mack who returns here. Isaiah Crowell Lashawn McCoy combined for thirty five rushing yards against the Bears. That's it. Tough matchup for carry On Johnson.

Maybe chips in some help through the air. I've got a C grade on Carrie on Johnson and this one and theoretic on the bench. Bears are allowing the fifth fewest running backyards through the air, and only James White is topped even thirty yards through the air against Chicago all season long. Let's go to the bear side game gets a lot more promising because the one really good cornerback the Lions have, Darius Slay, is not going to

play in this game. So as I look at Mr Biscuit, first, I looked at last week's game, and he barely even passed because it was Buffalo and they got to an early lead and they just ran the ball. But here's the problem for this week. That's exactly what teams are doing to the Lions. Detroit seeing the fewest passes per game, just twenty eight, and over the past two weeks, Kirk Cousins and Russell Wilson through just twenty two and seventeen passes against the Lions. It's hard to roll up decent

fantasy stats if the volume just isn't there. And that's why I've only got to be great and Mitch Drabinsky, even with Darius Slay out, Let's go to the receivers. Taylor Gabriel is a b start for me I Adams to see until they ruled out Darius Slay. Strong speed advantage over All, the rest of the Lion's corners. Gabriel is very fast, and Slay is the fast corner they've got. In fact, these Canna have matchups against the iron footed Tease Tabor, something called Tease Tabor, who might be the

slowest corner in the lead league. He is a four six seven forty yard dash corner. You almost never even see that. Incidentally, if he has an iron foot, maybe we should try him at kicker that they might want to. I like Taylor Gabriel, be start on, be great on him. Allen Robinson expected to come back for this game. I still prefer Gabriel because of that speed had manage. But Robinson's also startable in this matchup with a C grade. Again, Darius lay Out helps him too. And then let's go

last part of the passing game for the Bears. Trey Burton has scored in five of the past seven games. Lions are middle of the pack tight end defense that's allowed touchdowns to the likes of Garrett Selleck, Jeff Swain, Lance Kendricks, and Ed Dixon. If those tight ends can score touchdowns against the Lions, so ken Trey Burton also a B start. Now let's look at the running backs

for Chicago. Jordan Howard. Nearly half of his rushing yards have come in the fourth quarter in overtime, and that plays well if you believe the Bears will be running out the clock against the Lions this week, which I think they probably will. Now it's a little unfair, but aside from Dalvin Cook's seventy one yard dash, since the Lions got Snacks Harrison, all the rest of their runs

they're giving up three point three yards per carry. That's it. Now, keep in mind this was a Lions defense that was giving up six yards per carry before Snacks Harrison. So again it's a little unfair to take Dalvin Cook's run away, but if you do, they're they're double as effective as a run defense. Jordan Howard has a B grade Trek Cohen.

From weeks fourth through seven, Cohen was rocking it with seven or more receptions during those three games, and then he's had three or fewer receptions in the other five games, included the last two games in which he's had just two catches, and then his rushing members just haven't been there.

The usage has been very peculiar for him. Um lines are middle of the pack against receiving running backs, so I've got Tree Cohen as a C grade for this game because the usage just hasn't been there lately, and I can't be sure that he's gonna get rushes or receptions anymore. It might be the first game in a long time I've had Tree Cohen ahead of Jordan Howard. When we come back, plenty more matchups to get to, including Falcons Brown's. Matt already told you a couple of

guys that he likes for that game. Will tell you if there's an anybody on the Falcons you don't want to start well. Tavin Coleman scored twice again. Find out when we come back this afternoon at two thirties. The Minnesota Gopher his host for two on FM one three. The fans a greater Twin Cities Onto Dealers are proud sub orders of Gopher Athletics on Higheart Radio. Welcome back to the show Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. Paul

Church and Scott Fish Matt Harrison with you. We've got a bunch of matchups to get to, including a potential point orgy Falcons Browns. I mean, you don't think of the Browns as being a part of a high scoring game. But I think they can be year under. Yeah, how about that. I love all virtually everybody on the Falcons. Let's uh, where do you want to start? Matt Ryan? Sure, let's talk about Matt Ryan. He's my number three quarterback this week. Love them. I gave him an A grade.

Each of the last six quarterbacks to face the Browns have either had two or more yards or multiple touchdown passes, and I think Matt Ryan can do both this week. Um Julio Jones obvious a he scored last week, faces a banged up Denzel Ward. I'm not scared of a banged up Denzel Ward. Calvin Ridley and Mohammed Sanu are even plays. There are Sea grades. Damarius Randall and e J. Gaines are both also hurt members of the Cleveland secondary.

I don't think they're gonna go making. Ridley and Snow both very viable and this I think Ridley could be sitting on a great game. Yeah. Austin Hooper, I'm giving a tepid Sea grade too, because there's a lot of tight ends out this week. Travis Kelsey and Jared Cook each top nine yards and scored twice against Cleveland, but no other tight end has done anything against them, so it's no scores besides those two players the rest of

the season. So Hooper, I'm I'm very tentative on I already talked about Edo Smiths might take a chance on me runner, and for very much the same reason. I like Tevin Coleman a lot this week. Although he split and carries, he gets about a C plus grade B minus somewhere in there. That's about where Edo Smith is. I already talked about how bad the Browns run defenses, So let's go over to the other side. Baker Mayfield might take a chance on the quarterback, who, by the way,

is available in sixty of ESPN leagues. I think you have mostly roster six available, all right, you can pick him up. Jarvis Landry is in a grade. In the last two games, the Falcons have allowed almost five hundred receiving yards to opposing wide receivers. This includes a hundred and twenty four yards to the slot receiver Maurice Harris, a hundred and sixty seven yards to the slot receiver

Sterling Shepherd. Jarvis Landry sitting on a huge game and he's been super frustrating, and I know people are hesitant to put him in lineups. But for the law of God, this week do it if if not now win h Brishad Pereman was might take a chance on me wide receiver. I'm not in on the other Brown's wide receiver's callaway or any of the other guys. And David and Joku.

He gets a C grade and Joku is topped. Fifty yards are scored in five of Mayfield six starts, but that sixth game was the goose egg in the awesome matchups. Similar to this, the Falcons have or did allow last week nine catches for ninety six yards to the Washington tight ends. So in Jocus in a good spot and Joku's got knee and rib injuries right now, and there's a game time decision. You want to watch his status. Yeah, he might be more out than in um. Moving on

Duke Johnson A grade. Atlanta hasn't been able to stop pass catching running back since the Carter administration. Falcons have allowed the most receptions and third most receiving yards to opposing backs. And I've already allowed catch totals of nine, fourteen and fifteen two single opposing running backs already this year. I wanted to use Duke Johnson as might take a chance on me runner. You guys went I would have

last week, and that's so obvious. You can't use him anymore. Well, and he's like owned in like seventy or eighty percent of leagues now correct last week it was. It sounded much much better on Monday, before all the waivers ran. He was a viable to take a chance, and that's right. But then everybody figured it out and then he wasn't. Alex Spencer Worth noting that Duke led all NFL running backs in sten and seventeen in yards per touch, something

Hugh Jackson evidently forgot along the way. Freddie Kitchens hasn't though, and Nick Chubb he gets a B grade two. Atlanta is allowing four point three yards per carry this season, and Chubb's carry toll just keeps going up, at twenty three carries last week, so he's a good play as well. Patriots take on the Titans Scott No, Rob Gronkowski. When you look at the inconsistent production, fantasy production we're getting from Tom Brady, Look at Gronk. He hasn't scored since

whatever Week three or something. And here's Tom Brady who's you know, roughly quarterback fourteen in your league, right And I think it's fair and that's probably where I have about this week. I give him a B grade. The Titans are top ten for passing yards allowed, but five of those eight quarterbacks had multiple touchdowns and Brady over the last six games his top two hundred seventy yards in all of them, and he's averaging over two touchdowns per game in that span. I think he's got a

pretty safe floor. That's why I like him as a B grade. Obviously, gronks out, so I got a grade on Gordon. Gordon finally broke out last week. Tom Brady had some really nice stuff to say about him this week about coming into early, staying lad, etcetera. A hundred thirty yards and a touchdown on ten targets last week. Since Joini New England, he's averaging eighteen yards per catch, and over the last four weeks he's averaging eight targets per game, four and a half catches and playing over

of the snaps. This is a Malcolm Butler revenge game. He'll likely be on Gordon, but Butler has been terrible this year. I I love that matchup for Gordon, and I think I don't think Belichick needs to explain why Butler was benched in the Super Bowl anymore based on race. He's been really bad. I gave Edelman a B grade. He's averaging nine targets per game and volume miss king. With gronkout, he's probably gonna get even more middle of

the middle of the field work. Um. That alone has propelled him to four of his last five games, or four of his five games this season over fifty yards and he's averaging five catches per game in those uh and I saw it B grade there. James White, He's a back. I like to give an A grade every week too. Pretty much. The Titans are great against pass catching running backs. But I think this is one of those spots where White will overcome how great the Titans

had been against pass catching running backs. He's He's had at least seven catches and three the last five games. I can see that easily happening here. Michelle questionable. I'm a little hesitant, but I think games script could get them ahead. He could, he could get some good play. I have him with a C grade here. The Titans are allowing just three point three yards per carry over the last five weeks and just one running back to rush over seventy yards. But Michelle gets the starting role.

He's had really good games, lots of usage, lots of good games. Yeah, so if if he's good enough to go, I give him a starting grade. Uh. On the other side, it's one of those weird weeks where I I kind of like the streaming quarterback, the naked Mariotta out there in DFS. I like playing Mariota, but I don't like most of his most of his team. I think it's going to be spread around. Davis is the obvious guy to get a grade, but I don't have a starting grade on him. I have him just barely making a

bench grade. H. I can see a C grade, but he's going to be shadowed by Stefan Gilmour, who last week and the third quarter switched over and shadowed your take on from last week MBS about MVS as well. Yeah, I had a good take a chance on the week Marquez. I should mention Marquez Valdes Scalding. Scantling did not have another catch after Gilmore switched over about that, so Belichick obviously realized needs stop him and he's gonna use Gilmore to try to stop Davis. That's why I don't like him.

I don't like John u even though he was a great we We called that as a great uh pivot from Gronk next last week and Johnah scored a touchdown, but I had him on the bench. I have Derrick Henry on the bench because he's a backup. Now he's a clear back up, the clear backup. I do give

Lewis a B grade. For five straight weeks, back has had fourteen or more touches against the Pats, every one of them topped eighty yards, and in the last two weeks, Lewis is averaging nineteen touches per game and top two d total yards in both So be grade for Lewis not bad. Um. Dan Lewis could be and their schedules pretty easy the rest of the way. Dan Lewis could be a sneaky guy that a league winner two years in a row. Yeah, how about that? Maybe three? You've

probably forgotten and I don't blame you, listeners. Patriots Titans is a rematch from the playoffs last year. Who remembers that I remember the Titans beating the Chief send that weird game. It was just a buy after that. I think for the Patriot it really was. Thirty five to fourteen was the final score of that game. And Brady rolled up three touchdowns in that one, didn't The Patriots

played the Tennessee Titans in that freak blizzard. It warm, yeah, like fifty nine nothing, and everybody pulled all their players because it was crazy snowing, and if you pulled your Titans, you were exactly right. And then all the then they put up like I think it was fifty nine. I think it was nothing. I believe hold on, I'm scrolling here. It is right here. Could it have been October eighteenth though, of two thousand nine? Was there really a blizzard in

October eighteenth of two thousand nine? And look outside? Tom Brady six touchdown passes in that game? How about geez? That's uh, that turned out well for them. Let's go to the phones for a minute. We'll work in a few collars. Ben, Hello, good morning all again. Did your call? Yeah, I'm gonna be kind of a pay in the rump. It's definitely non PPR. You're if you can pick my running backs, my flex position, I have the Browns running backs and and Zeke. Otherwise than for Flex Ridley and

Tyrell Williams. I think Ridley has to be in Calvin Ridley. Calvin Ridley has to be in my number eight receiver this week. And you have both Brown's running backs and Zeke. And here's the funny thing. This is Zeke's toughest matchup of the Citizens. It's not this is not it's not obvious that Zeke has to go in. Now that said, it's standard scoring. Yeah, so if it's standard scoring, I

think we're leaving Duke Johnson on the bench unfortunately. Yeah, if you're getting nothing for receptions, I think Duke's at the odd man out, Okay. And then if I can do in my league, it's touchdown heavy non PBR. And that's just um two of two of these four Chub and Zeke and Ridley and Edelman, it's almost the exact same lineup. Yeahs run, I think Edelman's out. You got three guys score touchdowns and Aleman generally doesn't. Yeah, I think I think that's what I do. Thanks, Ben, appreciate it.

Ben is from Milwaukee and presumably listening at Cafe and dot com or on the heart radio app, and you could do that as well. If you are streaming abroad, we encourage you to check both of those out when we come back. Three hot questions for our panel of experts. Well that's Matt Scott. You can play along see if you wait, wait, wait what we're not experts anymore? Well, you know it's that you're not a panel. It's too

it's to a panel. I don't know. I mean that's I think it's a little ambiguous, all right, to plus the listeners, you're saying we're not a panel, but we're still experts. That is what I'm saying. That's a lot of thank you for allowing me to clarify that the the quotes around the word panel not expert. This is Fantasy Football Weekly presented by devanies Man. Welcome back to the show Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan, Paul Jarchi and Scott Fish Matt Harrison with you. Top pour two

means that we are diving into three hot questions. But first the winner. Oh, I want to know who one of the Crush Charts challenge for last week is Kyle Zach And by the way, this year all easy last names. I've loved it. No challenging last name. I don't think I butchered any of them yet. Kyle Zack, he's got two first names. I can't get it wrong. Kyle's Ack will join me at Manny Steakhouse for the winner's banquet and his chance for the two thousand dollar grand prize.

You can play along by going to grain belt dot com play create a roster to play against me. The beauty is it's an all superstar raw stirve, just just star player after star players. There's no real limitations. Just get them all right. Yeah, well, just all you gotta do is beat me. And I decided I'm not playing any part. I think any part. Uh, I think of the Chiefs passing game. So I think it's gonna be a lot of running. Yeah, you got it. I didn't start wear, but did go hunt. So yeah, we'll see.

That was the the chrest Charts challenge. Uh, it's not my strongest. Here's what I'm really saying. It's not my strongest roster of the year. Many thanks to our friends at the Brewery, Shawn Ryan and Brett Moss and Lee Wendinger and the owners Ted and Jody Marty and Dave Wilson, general manager at Manny's delicious. Let's uh, let's dive in hot question number one. In many leagues, the trade deadline is happening very soon, if not in the next twenty

four hours. Should teams that are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs be allowed to trade Scott? Absolutely, They have every right to play spoiler. They have every right to play within their in within the rules, to try to win their games, try to play their best. Uh. Leagues have rules against collusion, and if there's collusion, you reverse the trade.

That's really the only thing you're worried about in this in this scenario here, Um, I know some leagues have rules about mathematically eliminated teams, but if there's no rule, yeah, absolutely you should be able to trade. Yeah. To add to that, fantasy is supposed to be fun and fantasy leagues, it's your job, leagues and commissioners, to devise ways to keep the losers of your league engaged in the league.

Like one of one of our co workers at Fanball, his league requires the loser of the league to take the s A T s and report it, report the scores, Like you don't want to be the last place guy, so you want something to play for So I think that it's it's our job to make sure that everybody keeps playing. So yeah, they can trade all that and more. I'm shocked and how many leagues are like this where you know they don't they're so worried about this specter

of collusion that freaking happen. It's so rare. People get all worked up about bad teams making trades with good teams. Let it happen. It's just, you know, that's it's you get to do that. That's part of the enjoyment of the league. And I hate these leagues to try to try to govern trades worst. And it's usually the commissioners usually problem number one, because that guy is on a

power trader decided what's best for the league. So yes, it is teams that are mathematically ELIMINATEDUNS Like, you're really angry at commissioners, you know, because on Twitter, I keep getting this stuff. I gotta step in. I gotta step in on this trade. This team is one and seven and they're giving up their best player, and no, you don't. They give up your best player to try to build

a roster that can get to the playoffs. Come on, question number two, lady, I bella here's likely to report next week, and James Connor is in the Concussion protocol. Considering Bell's likely cost of acquisition, are you buying Matt? Yeah? That Connor and the concussion protocol thing. It makes it interesting like somebody left the gate open right there. I want to know what the likely cost to acquire him, if it's if it's those RB two guys like Jordan

Howard or Kevin Coleman. I think it's RB two is what it'll cost. That's clarify that into the question. That's what I would try to acquire Levy on Bell four. Now, note you can't acquire him from an owner that has both Bell and Connor. You can only acquire him from an owner that just has Bell, So you're not gonna be able to get him in any other way. I think so yes is you're giving yes? Is the yeah. I would definitely try your yes, Scott, I would say

you should. You could try, but I don't think you're gonna get it. I think that's him is past past for people trying to get that bargain, because people now know he is reporting and now no, he's in the concussion Connors in the concussion protocol. I don't think you're gonna get the trade you want to. Uh so, I guess my answer is, yes, you should try, but I don't think you're going to get it. Correct answers, No, here's your best case scenario. So your best case scenario

looks like this. Ideally, for a belt Connor misses this week with the concussion protocol, they immediately inject Bell in on just a couple of days. Right, we think he's likely report like Tuesday of next week, so they on a handful of days, they're immediately inject him into the lineup. And he's awesome. He's so good and so much better than Connor that there's no debate going forward who the best running back is. And the Steelers decided to play

Bell the rest of the year. That's what you're really hoping for, is a best case scenario. Also, their mindset is that they're gonna run the wheels off Bell because they're not keeping him next year. There I that's that's a possible. It's there are people that want to believe that is the best part of the best case scenario. But let's look at the more realistic scenarios like Connor's got ten days between games. In all probability, he's gonna be well out of the concussion protocol and he's your

starter next week. But even then, in a second more probable scenario than the best case scenario, Connor misses maybe a game. Bell gets some action because he's only been on the team for a handful of days, and he

doesn't get a workhorse. Vers does not get workhorse number of carries um he gets maybe I don't know half the carries or something, or the carries and he looks fine, but he doesn't look any better than Connor, and Connors looked great, And nobody in that side that organization hates Connor.

They'll love Connor. What's not to like about the local kid who beat cancer and has been in every measurable way better than Levy On Bell, if you're going to have to give up a guy that you would start as your second running back, I need way, way more probability of success than just this pipe dream best case. There are a lot of really bad second running backs on TEA hot question number three should playoff bound fantasy teams burn a roster spot on Rex Burkhead, who's eligible

to come off. I are in week number thirteen, Scott. Sure, if it's your last roster spot, sure, why not dash him? Uh? The old trope is the Patriots run the ball a ton more at the end of the season. I've never really looked into the data on that until now. In twenty sixteen, weeks one through twelve, the average running back touches per game after week twelve thirty eight point five thirteen more touches per game in December games Uh, weeks

thir team through seven tied roughly. Yes, all right, Thanksgiving, Thanks Thanksgiving Forward. In seventeen that same that same area one through twelve, thirty three touches per game Week thirteen and on forty one touches per game, they go eight to thirteen more running back touches per game in the last month and a half of the season. Okay, so I'm going, yes, dash it, just in case you never know. For all of that and more. Rex Burkhead is the

red Savina Habanero of three hot questions. That's five hundred thousands Scoville heating units. That's a lot. Yeah, I think I think you should definitely pick him up. He's never played more than twelve games in a season in his five year career though, and it's it's worth noting that he did play eight straight games last year, but he did miss Week sixteen, seventeen and their Divisional round playoff game before coming back in the conference championship in Super Bowl.

So while you're gonna put him on your roster, he's gonna get dinged up again. Here's my When I wrote the question out, my assumption is, well, yes, let's you know, I want I want a part of the Patriots running backs. But then I started looking into the schedule and what I will be saying to you Thanksgiving week. For Week thirteen against Minnesota, I think he gets a bench grade,

presumably under the assumption Sony Michelle is the team. He's he's healthy, He's gonna be behind Michelle, and you're really you're you're hoping. You chips in a few receptions and gets a few carries against the Vikings. Don't like it. Week fourteen, I think he gets like a Rex Burkhead gets like a C grade against Miami. They're easy to run on, but Michelle is gonna get all the first runs at this thing. Um. And then I get to

Week fifteen at Pittsburgh. Maybe a C grade here, but Pittsburgh's the top five run back running back defense through the air and on the ground, so we might be a bench guy there too. Then I'm Week sixteen against Buffalo maybe a C grade. When those teams met in week eight, Cordell Patterson only got who was a leading running back with thirty eight yards um. Buffalo is actually

a really pretty good run defense. I don't so I think we're looking at all bench and C grades from Rex burkehead unless somebody gets hurt, well Michelle or White gets hurt, and White never does. But if Michelle gets which is very possible, now everything changes, the whole script flips, and now he's an A and B guy most of those weeks. Yeah, yeah, I think that you have to look at the Patriots running back angle. As they get hurt, they cycle through guys, they go hot hands sometimes, and

you just try to get a piece of it. If at the beginning of the season people were avoiding James White because he looked like he was third or fourth on the depth chart, there, they're pretty happy having James White. Now you just get a piece or two of the Patriots running back stick it on the bench and see what happens. Um I do have yes, because it is only it only does cost you the last spot on your bench. And Sony Michelle's hurt a lot. If they they had they had a had a more solid running back,

this would be a different story. But it's not. I don't think Rex Spurkhad is going to be the guy that that runs you to a championship. Barring injury. Washington takes on the Buccaneers. Hang on, I gotta flip pages. Here's the thing you have to know about Washington and why you should be trading away Adrian Peterson. Now. Their star left tackle Trent Williams is gonna miss UH at least two more weeks and maybe three more weeks after thumb sir jury. Both of their guards done for the year.

They went on i R This week. They're right tackle Morgan Moses may not play because he's got a sprained MCL he had to leave last week's game. They could very well be short four of five running back as offensive lineman this week and going forward for the next month, they could be. They will be short three for sure, and then only at the bitter end are they only short two starting offensive lineman not to mention the end

this season. Dallas, Philly, Jacksonville, Tennessee in Philadelphia, it's a great time to divest in Adrian Peterson for to somebody who doesn't pay attention to offensive lineman, like a lot of people, don't look at what Adrian did last week when these linemen went down nothing. All right, let's jump into the matchup more directly now, knowing that the offensive

line is going to be a huge problem. Alex Smith just a sea level start, easiest matchup of his season, But I just think the offensive line makes him a dicey start here. Tampa's allowed multiple passing touchdowns to every non Nick Foles quarterback they've faced. I wish, I wish Smith had better receivers. I wish that he had a better offensive line. But maybe Jordan Reid will help, and Maurice Harris was might take a chance on the wide receiver. And I do think he's a sneaky start, even with

the offensive line woes. Jordan read a grade because I see a lot of fast dump offs coming from Alex Smith and that could reasonly that could fit the tight end position anyway. And Tampa Bay is allowed to tighten touchdown. In five of the last six games. They've given up the second most fantasy points to tight ends, so a nice start opportunity for Jordan. Read Also, they allow so many yards to slot and and tight positions, which inside inside,

and that's where Jordan where you play sent snaps. Very nice. Uh, let's go to the running backs. By the way, Paul Richardson went on, I r if you missed that, you can drop him out right to go to the running back. Adrian Peterson's justice. See with the disastrous offensive line, he's a runner who can't make his own running lanes. The Buccaneers have a lot of fourteen touchdowns to running backs, though, so you're banking on a short touchdown to salvage Adrian's day.

And that's why he gets a seat and not a bench grade. Um Vernon Davis is an actual If you are in a pinch at tight end like you've got gron and he looks like he's gonna miss another game, Vernon Davis saw a season high seven targets and five catches last week against Atlanta. As I mentioned earlier, Tampa dreadful against the tight end position. I've got a C grade on on Vernon Davis. Let's go to the Tampa side.

A grade for my guy Stubird, Ryan Fitzpatrick. His average full game this year for Ryan Fitzpatrick a mind bending three hundred seventy yards and three point eight touchdown passes per game in his full games. The Redskins secondary is a lot of passing touchdowns in every game since the opener, and last week Matt Ryan just toyed with Josh Norman and Fabian Moreau cornerbacks for the Redskins, scoring four times in that game. Every good pass or to face the

Redskins is throwing multiple touchdowns. Ryan Fitzpatrick will too. Mike Evans is an obvious a. I know he inexplicably only caught one pass on ten targets last week, but he bounces back just fine. Here. The Redskins have allowed an average of seven catches for nineties six yards to number one receivers. Let's go to Deshan Jackson. The downfield speed that he's got perfect for Fitzpatrick and his bombs away

passing style. Josh Norman only plays one side of the field, so the Bucks can isolate Jackson against the slumping Josh Norman and utilize Jackson's massive speed advantage over Norman. I like Deshan Jackson and this one b great for him. Adam Humphries back to back really good games was Stu Beard and he gets a matchup against Redskins slot corner Fabian Moreau, who is slumping, allowing completions on twenty of the last twenty three passes in Fabian Moreau's coverage, including

a touchdown last week. Adam Humphries C grade and that's it for the O. J. Howard. I gotta mention him. No tight end has gone over forty five yards against the Redskins this season, but Howard is top fifty three yards and all seven full games he has played. Howard has also scored four times in his last four games. Will definitely start O. J. Howard. He gets a B grade at the tight end position. For the running running backs, UM, we're on the bench. Peyton Barber broadly performing okay against

bad defenses, struggling with good ones. The Redskins are pretty good run defense and occasionally they're an awesome run defense. He's top thirteen touches. Peyton Barber has just once since Week two. He's only scored one time all year. We're gonna put Peyton Barber on the bench. How we doing for time? We can work? Maybe we can work in one more matchup because it's Jags Colts. There can't be

that much to talk about Ken there. Yeah, maybe that kind of Leonard Fournette gets a see Carlos Hyde and t J. Elden are on the bench, though, the risk of aggravating that hamstring injury during the game is the scariest proposition here. Still, the Cults have given up five point nine yards per carried to the Bills and Raiders running backs over the last two weeks, and they're giving up a ton of them through the air to running backs to Jalen or shot at eight catches last week,

James White had ten A few games back. If I trusted the rotation where Yelden would be in play. But I don't trust the rotation at all. Right now, Blake Bortles is on the bench. In games where four net plays, Bordles is averaging forty fewer passing yards per game, which brings the passing game to a screeching halt for the Jaguars, as does Blake Bortles. Yeah, that's true. Keelan Cole d D. Westbrook and uh, the Dante Moncrief revenge game is all

on the bench. Moncreefe actually leads the team in targets. So if you're absolutely forced to put a Jacksonville wide receiver in your lineup, it's Moncreef this week. But what league forces you to play a Jaguars wide receiver? Not very many. On the other side, Marlon Mack, I'm giving a C grade two and he's really the only starting grade I'm giving on Indie. If there's hope, it's the

run game. The Jags have allowed and average of a hundred and four rushing yards over their last four games and are basically giving up a touchdown per game to a lead back. Mac has six point two yards per carry over his last three games, and he's the first Cult to run for back to back one hundred yard games since Josepha Die two thousand seven. That's going back. Yeah, We're going always back. Um, So, I like Mac is

a C grade Andrew Luck he's a C minus bench grade. Jags. Yeah, Jags are only allowing two hundred six yards per game. That's the least in the NFL. Luck averages forty three passing attempts per game, but opposing quarterbacks are only averaging thirty against the Jags. I do worry about the drop in volume. That something's got to give. They're not giving

up touchdowns. Everything's gonna have to be really short, and I think that Luck, even if he gets to his forty three attempts, he's looking at maybe two sixty and one. I don't know, man, he comes into this game with three or four touchdowns in five straight games, but he ben grade Jacksonville. Well, I understand that you're just up in my conviction to bench Andrew Luck when he needs to be benched. He just had this is the time you just had like a four touchdown game a couple

of weeks ago. Um t Y Hilton's on the bench too. He played the last two weeks, but I'm not sure he was fully healthy. He only had five catches in fifty nine total yards and wins against Buffalo and Oakland. He's only targeted nine times in those two games. Nine times, and he probably draws the slam dunking Jalen Ramsey. Last year against Ramsey, when Hilton was fully healthy, to catches for twenty seven yards. Three catches for fifty one yards. Jack Doyle and Eric Ebron are on the bench as well.

The Jags are allowing three and a half catches for forty one yards the tight end position. As a whole. They held Evan Engram and Gronk to under twenty yards. Kelsey and Arts were the only guys who did anything against the Jags. But Jack Doyle is not them, so they're on the bench too. I might buy t Y Hilton not low right. Nobody wants to start him against the Jaguars. He's done nothing as he's been working through this hamstring injury, but they just came up by and

I want to believe the hamstring injuries better. Now, what's the rest of the season schedule on the Colts? Why don't I tell you about the playoffs schedule for the Colts right now? At Houston, then Dallas and then the Giants. That's okay, okay, t Y Hilton. But t Y Hilton might be your wide receiver three and you can plug him in the right matchup there. I just think he's cheap to buy right now. I might. I just always have the sense, you know, I always like to buy

low on good players. T Y Hilton his values is low. Was it's been in a long time, forever maybe for maybe forever. Anybody else in that matchup we've done. That's it all right? I interrupted, So I wasn't sure when we come back, Saints take on the Bengals. You know to start pretty much all your Saints. But what do you do with Andy Dalton, Tyler boyd Ain't no A J. Green in this one. We'll tell you when we come back. This is Fantasy Football Weekly presented my green Bell Premium

on the Van. Welcome back to the show Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. Paul Church and Scott Fish, Matt Harrison with you Saints teak on the Bengal. Scott and I think it's pretty obvious to start all your Saints in this match up. I'm origin and what you have to say about the Bengals, but you can start whichever side of the matchup you prefer. Well, I'll just start with the same saying you're I mean, you're right. I

have a grades on Breeze, Thomas and Kamara. I mean the Bengals are bottom three against quarterbacks, running backs, watch receivers and tight ends, so that makes it pretty easy. I did give Trey Kawon Smith a C grade. Like him more than that really, well, he has a great matchup.

He's only getting two to three catches per game, which makes him risky, but uh and I don't maybe not in this game though, Yeah, this is I feel like he's a safer C grade than when I take homed him last week and he saved you with a touchdown. Did I did give Ben Watson a C grade as well, just because it's a great matchup. He scored in two straight weeks and he has thirteen catches over the last three weeks, which surprised me. It didn't seem like he

would had Does Brian not torn as Achilles? I might have benched him, but I'll put Watson in there with a sea mark. Ingram I did give a B to uh He it's mostly his three point six yards per carry. Scare me be those de allowing five point four which is helpful. Um. Over the last five weeks, six running backs have had at least ten touches, five of them top eight yards. I think both of these guys are getting ten touches. Uh So, Ingram I gave a B. On the other side, Dalton I gave a B grade. Here.

It's got the highest over under. Dalton's gonna have to keep up. But he is without a J. Green um and over the last three games, the Saints are allowing just on our three fifty passing yards and two point three touchdowns per games. So it made me really really want to go in on Dalton. But without a J. Green, his numbers just his yards per attempt, in yards per reception take So I'm I'm a little worried there, but he will be playing catchup Tyler Boyd. It's always it's

always concerning what happens. We saw what happened with thelan with Diggs went out. Is Boyd? Don't think A J. Green? Is his injuries good for Boyd? It's not right, Yeah, it might not be, but you know it's good for Boyd going up against P. J. Williams. So he gets an a grade for me, But I'm not as confident

as some of the other analysts out there. I want to see how he handles being a number one receiver, although from the slot, presumably they'll keep him in the slot, yeah, presumably to move him when he had success he's had running from the slot. Exactly for me, Joe Mixon is always a must start, but I tember my expectations here. Mixing is averaging just twelve touches per game and losses the Bengals are likely to fall behind. I still think

he's very startable, especially with Geo likely out again. Uh, he should get that passing game work. I still give him a B grade and Usama. Uh he Goreo sagged in a great matchup last week. I know that, but given the catchup, given a j Green out, I gave him a C grade. Just barely agreed. Back to Trey Kwon, look at listen to what speed receivers I'm actual rattle up all the stats. Speed receivers have crushed the Bengals all year long. John Brown, Calvin Ridley, t Y Hilton,

DeShawn Jackson just last week daggering the Bengals. I think, Trey Kwan, it's a good start. I gotta be great out By the way John Brown in this matchup, wasn't I take a chance on me? Well, let's let's get it to him for next week? Already just saying, uh, Cardinals taking on the Chiefs. We've already alluded to this matchup several times, including take a chance on me on the Arizona side, Josh Rosen was might take a chance on me quarterback, Plenty of volume coming in this matchup.

Larry Fitzgerald gets a C grade. Chief secondaries improved a lot. Kansas City surrendered just too wide receiver touchdowns in the last six weeks, so the early narrative about the terrible Chief secondaries not coming true, at least to the wide receiver position. Fitzgerald draws the Chief's best cornerback, Kendall Fuller, who mans the slot for Kansas City. Still, Fitzgerald's coming up back to back touchdown games, and he's seen eight or more targets in three straight games, so he's still

absolutely startable here. So is Christian Kirk, who leads the team in receiving yards, and he's posted decent numbers for most of the last six weeks. Not explosive, just decent. He's gonna see mostly a vastly improved version of Orlando Scandrick, who is not allowed to touchdown in his coverage. Since the opener, I have a C grade on Christian Kirk. The real angle here, though, and especially for DFS play David Johnson, Chiefs are gonna fall behind early and they're

gonna throw to Johnson a lot. The Chiefs have allowed seven different running backs to gain over one hundred total yards. They are dead last in running back receiving yards. They are dead last in running back receiving touchdowns, their second to last in running back receptions. David Johnson is sitting on a massive PPR week eight thousand on fanball this week, UM and fanball dot com slash a bid. It gives you a chance to potentially auction for David Johnson as well. Uh,

let's go to the chief side. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, Tyreek Hill all a starts. They do not require any elaboration whatsoever. Not neither neither does, and maybe especially UH does. Kareem Hunt because this is the worst run defense in the league. Kareem Hunt is my favorite play of all players across the board this week period end of stories, so much so that I even think Spencer wear Is might take a chance. I mean, guy is going to

get fed in this one as well. And I've already seen from Twitter people are gonna start both and I'm totally fine with that. You can start Kareem Hunt and Spencer Wearing This matchup last guy. I'll mention Sammy Watkins dealing with a foot issue. He's been a real the fush foot issue has been a recurring problem through his whole career. I don't think he's going to play in this game, and even if he does, it's a run focused game and I'm nervous about him for this one

and he is on the bench. Next matchup, Chargers taking on the Raiders. Matt It's uh. It's the first time since week number two that Patrick Mahomes is not my number one ranked quarterback and it's because Philip Rivers is. Yeah. The Raiders have allowed the second most passing touchdowns this season, including multiple touchdown passes to seven of the eight quarterbacks they faced. Rivers is just a lock this week. He's an easy a only quarterback in the NFL with multiple

touchdown passes every week of the season. He hasn't had the huge splash game though, that's the one drawback three touchdowns every week. He's super reliable. Though, Melvin Gordon getting an A. You like Kareem Hunt as your top play this week, you could argue that Melvin Gordon is right in the same wheelhouse. Say both grade and ten out of ten for me this week. Yeah, the Raiders are bottom five and rushing yards yards per carrying, rushing touchdowns

allowed to running backs. That puts Austin Ekeler in play in the similar vein that Spencer wears in play for a C grade for Austin Ekeler. Keenan Allen, I'm giving a B grade two. He had eight catches for ninety yards in the first meeting against the Raiders. He's one of only two wide receivers to hit the ninety yard mark against the Raiders this year. Game script may just not favor him because it's so easy to run on Oakland and they just haven't. Oakland's been all right against

wide receivers, specifically uh Mike Williams and Tyrrell Williams. I'm giving them C grades as well, though Iyrrell had sixty six and Mike had forty five last time around against Oakland. None of the wide receivers out of those three scored a touchdown in the first meeting with the Raiders, though, but Tyrrell has four touchdowns in the last three weeks on only nine catches, and Mike has two touchdowns in the last two weeks on two catches. That's it's a

pretty good duhver right now, Antonio Gates. I'm giving him a desperation d start. There is no star it is. It's for desperation. He only had two catches for nineteen yards in the first matchup, but his counterpart Virgil Green scored in that game. His ceiling is probably five targets. But the Raiders are bottom ten in yards and touchdowns allowed to the tight end position. Over on the Oakland side,

it's pretty dismal. Jared Cook is on the bench. Cook has in top twenty yards and three of his last four The Chargers are allowing less than forty yards per game to the tight end over the last month. Jordi and Martevis Bryant are on the bench. Uh Chargers are top ten in reception and receiving yards allowed it to wide receivers, which means all the passing game is terrible. So Derek carrs obviously on the bench too. And the only guy that you can even think of starting on

the Oakland side is Jalen Richard. He has the fifth most receptions among running backs this season. He's averaging five per game, and over their last four games, the Chargers are allowing seven and a half receptions and seventy three yards per game to opposing backs, So I could give Jalen Rashard to see. But that's about it. Doug Martin is a tough start. I used my number forty two running back. That's why I didn't even mention it. I don't, I don't. Just the game script is immediately going to

go away from him. But get this, he's actually averaging five yards per carry since becoming the starter. It's not that he's been terrible, it's just the game scripts are always dead wrong for him. And I know he's five yards per carry since since the injury hunt. Go figure when we come back, final set of matchups and Premature

Speculation and your calls with Lightning Round. When we come back Fantasy final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly and lots to get to three more matchups, Premature Speculation, Lightning Round with plenty of your calls as well. Looming I'm gonna remind people fanball dot COM's got this amazing new auction game. It's bonkers, nothing like it in the history of fantasy football.

Uh So encourage you to check that out. Also, our signature contest dollars fanball dot com slash Radio will take you right there to our signature contest of the week. We call it, take me to charge. I got my homes in one of the auctions yesterday for what Yeah, everybody, everybody, he was

the last quarterback to get pushed up to the top random. Yeah, and if he's the last quarterback and you're the only one without a quarterback. You get him for a dollar. That's that's impressive. Geez uh. And that's part of the magic of the fan ball auctions is the system decides who's coming out when it random of strategy to everything. It really is. It's fast and strategic. It's yeah, it's so much fun fan ball watch it. All right, let's

get to our premature speculations. These are guys we think you should pick up now, one week in advance of everybody else making the move. Scott, Yeah, I'm I'm pulling an audible here. I'm going Royce Freeman all right, Yeah, he's on by this week. He's been dropped in enough leagues either owned Cincinnati, San Francisco, Cleveland, and Oakland, all bottom nine defenses against the run for his playoff run.

There and every one of those teams allowing over a hundred thirty plus total yards per game, three of them five plus yards per carry. It's a good end of season. Oh, it's great. I've tried to acquire Rice Freeman in a few leaks. I've got Lindsay in a bunch of them, so that's been part of it. As I want that I could see starting both in some of these games.

I've got the oozy c j Uzoma. He's had forty plus yards and or a touchdown in five of eight games this year, and that a J Green injury is lingering and looming over the since the offense Dalton through to his tight end six times per game in that eight game stretch where a J missed last year with five tight end touchdowns and Cincinnati as the third easiest remaining schedule for tight ends and the easiest schedule in the playoffs where they faced the Chargers, Raiders, and Browns,

three teams who have allowed nine tight ends to go over fifty yards and fourteen tight end touchdowns in six weeks. Uh I had Lamar Jackson is my guy before this Flacco story as proof if you go to our Waiver Wire article, was there from tuesdaytas almost daily podcast. That's right, that's right. We were urging people on Tuesday to pick up Lamar Jackson because all we do is help you work a week ahead of time. If Lamar Jackson for some reason is still not rostered in your league, go

get Lamar Jackson. And then as a pivot to that, since we've already taught if Jackson has been Let's go back to Rex Burkhead, who we talked about earlier in the show as somebody you can get now and stashed until week number thirteen when he comes on off i r final set of matchups be in with Cowboys taking on the Eagles, Um Scott, we saw Marie Cooper score in his very first game. Do you like him in Philly?

A little? That's about all you're getting, uh? In the passing game, I'm gonna skip from boot Cooper back to Dak where I'm just benching Doc. I don't like him in this matchup. He's He's only top two fifty yards twice this season, Doc has and you only have ten passing touchdowns in eight games. That's that's not good. That's not startable on a weekly basis. But Cooper. I did give a B grade to Um in the last three games, the Eagles having allowed a wide receiver over sixty five yards.

That sounds bad, but in weeks one through five, ten different wide receivers had seventy five yards and or a touchdown. Blame Carolina wide receivers, Jacksonville wide receivers and a terrible Eli manning game. For how good the Eagles have looked the last three weeks. Uh, Cooper saw eight targets, and I think Dallas is going to be hell bent on proving that that trade was good, like getting that that public image narrative street there. All that first rounder was expensive.

Ye all nine wide receivers with eight or more targets against the Eagles. Eight targets is how many Cooper had last week, had double digit Fantasy days. So B grade. They're benching Beasley because he saw just three targets with Cooper and Zeke Ellion, I'm only giving a B B grade too. He's he's just had one game over sixty five yards rushing in the last four games. Uh, and he he's making a little bit up on the receiving game. He had seven catches in one game, four catches and another.

That's where he can make it up because the Eagles are allowing just under eight grabs and eighty six yards per game two runners over the last three games. I think that that might be. Actually where he gets his B grade is through the air somehow. On the other side, Carson wentz a grade. Wentzays at least two total yards

and multiple touchdowns in five straight. The Cowboys have been stout. Yeah, but uh and but have allowed at least one quarterback touchdown in every game, and they're coming off a short week where they let Mariotta score three and Wentz has a new weapon, and hey, so B grade for alshon Jeffrey Dallas is top three against wide receivers on the season. But let's take a closer look on that beat up

Redskins wide receiving corps. The Titans, the Jaguars Seattle before Wilson got hot and Baldwin was out Carolina and a terrible ELI game like they've had just not good wide receivers when they've played in all Sean's five games. He has four touchdowns and his averaging just under nine targets per games seventy plus and three of them B grade there, Yeah, nine targets per game, Golden Tate. I'm giving a speculative C grade, and I think I might be a little

too low on there. I think he's gonna play outside, but now they have three three slot wide receivers. But just his talent level makes him definitely startable for me. Aglar goes to the bench with the Tate acquisition and zach Ertz. I'm giving him and I'm giving him an A grade. The Cowboys have allowed just two tight ends over forty five yards and just two tight end touchdowns this year, but Arts has a hundred plus and or a touchdown in five straight. He's averaging seven and a

half catches ten at half targets per game. They can be as good as they want. It gets tight on some starting zach Ertz, no choice. Alright, Dolphins take out the Packers. I would normally tell you to just sit everybody around Brick Osweiler, which is normally the case, but I know who you're going for here. You do, yeah, Frank. We are going to give Frank or passing. I started with the passing game and Osweiler is on the bench.

But I've got to see great in DeVante Parker. Only because the Packers have allowed the second most scores to receivers, including multi score games the Marquis go Doing and Josh Reynolds just in the last three weeks alone. So you know this is they're churning safeties for for for for Green Bay. It's a secondary influx right now. I think there's gonna be a couple of opportunities. So I've got a starting great in DeVante Parker and then Danny Amadola.

If you just want your five catches for forty yards, just fine. You know I can see that. And if you need to be safe, if you're one of these people, you're up by fifty points because the Thursday night's game and you just want to get your five catch just forty fifty yards, Danny Amontola is probably your guy for that. Then let's go to the running game. Frank Gore b grade.

In his past four weeks. He's averaging over fourteen carries per game, and of the four backs who have managed fourteen carries per game against the Packers, the average game ninety four rushing yards, five and a half yards per carry, and a touchdown per game. Frank Gore be great. Kenyan Drake's on the bench. He has been out carried by Gore in every game since Week two. Man, if only somebody could have seen this at the preseason, I would

like a peacock for that. Something something weird about Kenyan Drake. He's played nine games. He has four RB one games of nine. That's crazy. It's receiving the touchdowns. It is receiving in touchdowns. Packers, though, give up the seventh fewest receptions per game to opposing running backs and have only given up one are running back touchdown through the airs. That's where you need Drake to help you, and it isn't coming here. So he's on the bench. Let's go

to the Packers side. A bunch of A grades across the board, and the guy that I'm most excited about, Aaron Jones. I've got an A grade on him. I'm counting on my toma, babe. Can I tell you how this is? Just do the right thing, the right counting on Mike McCarthy to do the right he never does. This is from Graham Barfield. These are some Next Sense stats among running backs over the last two years with

at least a hundred five carries. Aaron Jones is first in yards per carry, first in yards gained after defender closes within the yard, first in rushing yard Russia attempts Russia Russia's over ten yards, first in success rate, and second in first down second down first down rate. It should all come together, It should all come together. This week, the Dolphins are giving up on twenty rushing yards per game. It's the juiciest matchup of the season for Aaron Jones.

Insert Jamal Williams getting fifteen cars. God, I hope not. Let's just hope the usage is going the right way now. He had that critical fumble against the Patriots, but they went back to him at the end of the game, so I'm presuming he's not in the doghouse. A grade. Aaron Jones a great. Aaron Rodgers obvious A grade. I am worried about the running game actually cannibalizing him stats more than I'm worried about the Dolphins, but nevertheless, even

unlimited passes, he could still be fine. Deshaun Watson scored five times and throw the ball just twenty times against the Dolphins last week. Davante Adams obvious A grade, although we'll note that he's drawing shadow coverage from Xavian Howard in this game. Howard is not allowed more than thirty two yards in his coverage and over a month, but still Adams totally matchup Proof A grade opposite him. Marquees Valdez Scantling, My guy, I love I love this rookie.

He has found the end zone or hit one hundred yards in four straight games. Only DeShawn Jackson averages more yards per reception than Marquees Valdez scant Link does, and Xavian Howard's gonna be on the other side of the field guarding uh Davante Adams. It's a great matchup against Bobby McCain, who has been roasted by speed receivers like Markuees, Valdez Scantling this year be grade for him. Randall Cobb downgraded midweek and a hamstring. You want to avoid him

at all costs. Hopefully you didn't draft him at all. And the last guy I'll mention Jimmy Graham Dolphins allowing uh wait, uh oh, I have the wrong text in here. Jimmy Graham is an a grade you can go to. I don't have I've got the wrong I pasted into I don't have the right text, and I've got Aaron Jones text in for by Jimmy Graham. He scored our top seven seventy six yards and five of his last seven games. I like that. Thank you very much for the assist. You can get the full not just Jimmy Graham.

You can get the full rundown on all of these guys at famball dot com because we've got all the player ratings and explanations for free at famball dot com. Go to my player rankings so you learn about Jimmy Graham. Your matchup took too long because you said Marques Veldez Scantling three times, which you could have been worked. It could have been nine. Last matchup is Giants at forty nine.

At least we don't have to talk about too many Giants or forty Niners now Quans and A. He's on pace to break the single season running back reception record held by Matt Forte uh He's on pace for one sixteen fourte had one O two and the Niners or bottom ten and receptions and receiving touchdowns allowed to running back Odell Beckham's in A. Niners have allowed to touch down to seven of our wide receiver in seven of their last nine games. Sterling Shepherds even a B slot

wide receivers have torched the Niners Tate mvs. Marquees, Valdez, Scantling, Fitzgerald and theeling of all top two hundred yards against San Francisco from the slot. Evan Ingram is getting a bench grade, though he's been held to twenty five yards or less than four or five games this season is only two scores have come in garbage time. And I'm giving Eli a C though because if not now, when, and I liked Sae Kwan Odell and Shepherd as receiving options.

So on the other side, Matt Brita's getting a B grade. The Giants have no snacks, and since there's no snacks for the Giants, the arts per carry average have gone from four point oh to oppose backs to four point nine yards per carry and they're allowing a hundred and fourteen rushing yards per games since snacks Harrison left and Raheem Mostert now has a third elbow, So Matt Breed has got this job all by himself. Nick mullins, he's on the bench. I'm not chasing that scorecard from last week.

The Giants have only allowed two hundred fifty two yards per game through the air this year. That's eleventh best in the NFL, and the Niners shouldn't need to pass to beat the Giants. I am giving George Kittle a B though Kittle is top seventy nine yards in six games this season. The Giants did hold zech ERT's under fifty, but he had seven catches forty three yards in a score. I think Kittle's almost on par with Earth's right now, so he gets a B grade. Marquis Goodwin and Pierre Garson,

though they are on the bench. Garson only had five targets in Mullins debut. Goodwin had four, and they shouldn't need to pass to beat the Giants. That's it, all right. I'll note to our local listening audience of presumably Timberwolves fans um multiple reports, including from John Krasinski, saying Philadelph uh is finalizing a deal with Minnesota to wire Jimmy Butler so that the hostage situation may be coming to an end. Casualties US fans, You mean we're not getting

Joel Embiide or Ben Simmons in return? No, apparently apparently we are not. Uh, it's time for lightning round. You know the rules. One question between two players, one question between two players. That is uh, that is all you can do. Hold on a set, Um, Let's go to the calls, beginning with and thank you for your patients, all of you. I know you've all been on hold for over an hour. Andrew, Hello, Hello Standard League Calvin

Ridley or Jarvis Plandy. Oh wow, I really like Ridley this week, but standard mix Stan probably favors Readley, So Ridley next. Uh, Phil, you're next? Hey, guys, thanks much. Um would you go Breeze or Rivers? Rivers? I would go Rivers this week. Rivers is my number one quarter. I'm a little worried about Breeze in the outdoor game. Yeah for sure, Carl. Your next standard League Jordan Howard or Tony Michelle? All right, Uh, I think Michelle's gonna play you get to at least. Yeah, he's the early

game active. Michelle's going, yeah, you gotta you have to play him. But I like to. Actually I like Jordan Howard in his batchroom as well. That's a different story. Tom, You're next. Yeah, Doleman and I have an opponent wide for Fever. I'm wondering if I'm putting too many ears on its baptis because I'm playing David Johnson. Do I play Fitzgerald? Where do I go with Fits and the Upside in New Orleans? Thank you for your show. I

listened every week. Thank you. Tom Howe. You one of those teams down by fifty because it's uh Fits is far, far safer. But I really do like Trackwon Smith here. Um, it's really a floor, a safe versus upside. He's got Fits, his draws, the best coverage corner they've got Kendall Fuller, and I think all right, I would go. I'm safely on the tray quand side of this. Stacy, Hello, good morning or Ram defense. We're talking defenses. Uh, let's go Patriots?

Yeah for this matchup? Yeah? Absolutely, thank you, Yeah, thank you. Chuck. I think I got Chuck Chuck him so oh, I'm sorry. I just hung up on Chuck and I think he might have been holding for like an hour. That's a hung Sorry, Chuck up, Chuck, that top, Chuck. Sorry, Chuck. Nick, you're next half point pprred Nick, I can't hear you, Nick. Are you talking to the speaker? Oh yeah, did you hear me? Now? A little bit? Allen? For whom half point PPR? We want the keenan Allen's. I would still

take Allen's close. Absolutely. Uh. John in Boston, Hello, Hey guys, how you doing on at half point PPR? Um Sony Michelle or Mike David. If Chris Carson does not go, it's Mike Davis. Unfortunately, we don't get to see that decision till the later games, so you're gonna see Sony if he's if he's active, I'd go Sony. I think that's what you have to do, just because you're not probably not gonna have a definitive word on Chris Carson

as a like absolutely unfortunately plan on Sony. Thanks Shahn, Greg Hello, Hello, Hi, got standard league flex position question? Edo Smith or Ljohn McCoy Smith. I don't even think it's close for me. We don't start any bills. That's it. Uh, Nick you are next? Nick? Nick? Hello, all right, we're gonna move on. Mark, You're next. Hey, guys, A great show. Um. PPR Gabriel Gabriel or who unlock it? Sorry? Sorry, okay,

I like lock it better. I like them both. They both have both have potentially good games, but we'll take lock it Aaron, You're next. Hey, guys, think you're the call? I got that point. PPR. Baldin and Marlin Maw. I'm sorry, the first guy, Baldwin Marlon Mack although not fully healthy, but Scott is the bald apologist over here. I'd still go Mack and I Okay, Kevin your next standard scoring Landerdon Cooks are Marquez Belz? I actually think I would

actually go Stanling here? Alright? Not actually you think you got information on the Timberwolves trade for it's been reported Robert Covington and Diosuric all right, oh Bob, Yeah, and he picks in that though it's it's it says it's a package deal. But they haven't reported picks. Really, Okay, what's coming? I don't know what's coming up next? What is coming up next? Is there somebody, some somebody helping with this? Yeah, we have we have early Gophers pregame.
