Joseph Krueger will join me at the winners banquet in January. Let's dive right into the matchup, Scott First, one up, Miami takes on Atlanta. This is a This is the lowest scoring offense in the NFL for Miami. Do you think they turn it around here against the Falcons?

Oh man going to be right off the bats? Yes, you bet, trial by fire baby exactly. Yeah, because they're so low scoring. I don't have any A grades for this one. I did give my boy j J I a B grade. His yards per carry scare me. But the Falcons are bottom ten against the run, and every running back that's had at least thirteen touches against them has a mass either eighty five yards and a touchdown and as averaging one game. I I think that I think that's going to propel him right into that range.

He could probably do both. It really is you and I are going to go down on this gily ship together. I was right about him last year. This year it's yeah, it's getting scary. Uh. Jervis Landry I give a B grade. Uh. DeVonta Parker is now doubtful, probably not gonna play making Landry the main target for Cutler, even though Coutlors not throwing much hundred seventy six yards per game. Uh, Jarvis Landry's he's He's averaging seven catches and eleven targets per game.

That's a nice safe floor. The Falcons have only allowed one wide receiver over sixty yards this year, so I'm benching all the rest of the passing game. But I am giving B grades to Jarvis Landry and j h Iuh for Atlanta, Julio Jones is an obvious start for me. I don't really need to go into him. DeVonta Freeman, I'm also giving an A grade. Uh. He's got the highest touchdown conversion rate inside the ten, scoring on five of his nine attempts. He's scored in every game, averaging

two touches per game over the last three weeks. And even though the Miami's got a top ten run defense, so did Buffalo last week, and Freeman died great So UH given him an A grade. I have his counterpart there, uh, Tevin Coleman. I'm giving him a B grade. He's averaged a d seventeen total yards of the last two games.

UH scored once. Dolphins have done a good job limiting opponents on the ground, but Melvin Gordon caught seven balls, Kamara cut ten balls, and Coleman's averaging five targets per game. I think he can get his his points through the air. Going through the air. Matt Ryan uh three of the four quarterbacks that Placed played Matt played Miami had over two hundred and fifty yards and a score. I think Matt Ryan's the best QB they're gonna play, or they have played, of that bunch. So I'm giving him a

B grade. And Austin Hooper Miami has been sneakily not very good against tight ends, allowing seven receptions in fifty seven yards to tight ends. Hooper disappeared for two games. He's been top two, top twelve for two games, and with the new out, I think you might see a slight increase in targets. I'm giving Austin Hooper a C grade, and I'm benching the rest. I mean, there there's some

dart throat to Taylor Gabrielle. There is a little bit. Yeah, it went SNeW went out and Julio went out last week. He's in week four. He didn't have many catches, so he does scare me. I couldn't quite give him a secret. Alright, no problem, nicely done. First matchup in the books. Well done. Giants take on Denver Brian Giants will be without their number one, number two, number three, and number four wide receivers this week. So can I start anybody? Yeah, let's

just get right to the benching Umi. Yes, so are his wide receiver quote unquote weapons including Tavares King, Roger Lewis, At Egan, Travis Rudolph, Doc Doby, Sneezy whatever. Correct. Why do I get this game? Because your Giants got That's why you get this game. Let's let's enjoy the misery. Let's push forward here. Evan Ingram, You're you're churning your way to Eli Manning's replacement. I'm hoping for the seam you should. This is a suck for luck moment for

your squad, just like it was for Peyton Manning. Same thing with Eli Manning in the bitter twilight of his career. Here's your opportunity to draft. Get to right to the top of a draft, top three pick, taken a take a fantastic quarterback and never look back. I'm with you, no shame and uh, going for the tank job anyway. I will start Evan Ingram this week. I'll give him

a seed despite the goose egg last week. In Denver's last three games, UM Oakland tight ends combined for five catches sixty one yards, Buffalo tight ends combined for seven seventy and one and Jason Witten had ten catches for ninety seven yards and a touchdown. Evan Ingrams by the best wide receiver on this team right now, so he should see a healthy amount of targets in this game and then in any other Giants running back. Any Giants

running back is on the bench. Denver is allowing two point four yards for carry and the only running back to score against them this year was Melvin Gordon in Week one and he caught that touchdown. Nothing's getting done on the ground for Giants. In going over to Denver, I'll give to Marius Thomas and Manuel Sanders and be probably only one has the potential to get there at the other one probably end up at a sea sea level production. Um. The Giants are allowing only a hundred

and twenty yards per game to wide receivers. That's total, the whole wide receiver. Nothing that's nothing and not one opposing wide out his top seventy yards. Uh. Still the Giants pets heads are falling off, though, so I can think you can start Sanders and Thomas in this one. H No Dominique, Rodgers Comarady. But that doesn't affect either because um he runs out of are he covers a slot? Uh A J Derby, I can't give a cuh tight end Virgil Green wasn't targeted last week while Derby, wait

for it, went to the races catches yards. A tip of the hat on that, Derby, Oh, double up on it. I like it. New York is just getting abused by tight ends. They've surrendered all the best stats to the position, allowing the most in every category. So Derby is startable. I'm still benching Trevor send me in though, UM to fifty and two is probably his absolute ceiling in this game.

I don't think he gets there. I think they're better options coming up and take a chance on me and C. J. Anderson will give him a b at least twenty carries and three or four games, has at least three catches in two of those four games. He'll still get the bulk of the touches in this game. Um keeping Jamal Charles on the bench, he won't see more than ten carries and has been invisible in the passing game just one because he in his heyday he was awesome. I

think you're under selling c. J. Anderson. He's a bell cow. As you mentioned, he's getting twenty carries. He's been great at home in particular, and New York has yet to hold a starting running back under seventy one rushing yards. So I think I've got I've got c. J. Anderson's my number five running back overall for this week. I love him all right. I'm just disappointed Brian didn't throw in a champion at the bit for this matchup on a J dirt, so that would have been good. All

I'm upset about there. Green Bay takes on Minnesota. Aaron Rodgers is safely an a uh no Anderson dajo, which we've saw as Viking fans will remember when when Sendao's out. Even though he's not a great coverage guy man, the whole secondary has a very different feel to it and when when Rogers faced the Vikings last December, check out a fantasy line in the most recent matchup. Three hundred forty seven passing yards, four passing touchdowns, and he ran

in another one. Who But historically the Vikings have contained Rogers, at least by his standards in the prior to matchups, the only threw one touchdown in each game, hadn't topped three hundred yards in his prior six matchups against the Vikings prior to last December. Uh. Still a great for Aaron Rodgers because he's Aaron Rodgers. And again secondary could be and likely is without Andrewson. Day helped Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams. To me, this has been super murky,

and I've been battling with this all week. It's unclear who who's gonna get Xavier Roads. Traditionally it's Ben Jordy Nelson for a lot of games, but not always. It was Terence Newman in the most recent one, and Newman got got roasted in that game. So I think they may put Xavier Roads on Jody Nelson. But the best receiver on the team is Davante Adams, and so if you're gonna put Xavier on the best receiver, to me, that's still that's Adams. He's the guy who leads the

team and targets and receptions in yards. Who's the guy who's begging the drums so hard for this preseason? I can't remember, um um. I think it was Harrison. Was Matt Harrison? Maybe it was Matt Harris. Who is this guy you keep talking about? Hang on, wait, it's gonna come to me. It's gonna come to me at some point. It's wrong. There we go, man, that took a while. Whoever gets Trey Wayne's obviously it's got a really pretty good opportunity. But I don't think it's obvious how the

Vikings are gonna defend Nelson and Adams. So I've got B grades on both to just sort of mitigate the Rhodes factor. And maybe that's not going to be a road shadow opportunity. They prefer to play Rhads on the defenses right side of the field. Maybe he'll just stick to the side of the field. We'll see Aaron Jones. Uh, we'll sticking with the passing lasting I'll mention Martel Spend it's on the bench. I went to back for this guy in the preseason. I thought he was gonna have

a good season. I thought they were in targeting him a lot which they are. He doesn't catch it, so it doesn't matter. He hasn't got a touchdown pass and um Vikings opponents have completed at least five past the game to a tight end. So there's a little upside here, but I've had it with that loser. Let's go to the running game. Aaron Jones is a really nice start. I think be grade here. I thought he looked fantastic last week. We'll talk more about Aaron Jones a little later,

but this matchup is a little tricky. Vikings defense has allowed just three point three yards per carry, just one rushing touchdown all year. It's not a given that Aaron's gonna have a big game here. I think you will not have as good a game as he had last week. BE grade on Aaron Jones time Montgomery. If he plays, you can put into a C grade for PPR leagues. I think he could catch five six receptions in this game. Let's go to the Viking side. Offense is going to

be missing Stefan Digs and Nick Easton. Those are not in substantial losses, and of course Sam Bradford case Keenum is at the helm. I have a nervous C grade on Keenum, mostly just because it's a bye week. Was upside is the three touchdowns he threw in Week three, But more realistically, you're gonna get somewhere in the neighbor to like half the yardage and half the touchdowns you put up in that big game against the Bucks. Packers.

Secondary is improved. Hardly impenetrable, but improved. Dak Prescott just through three touchdowns, and if Aaron Rodgers does get out to a big lead, case is gonna have to throw a lot. So I've got a C grade on him. I've gotta be grade on feeling he's going to draw a slot corner Quintin Rollins and that's a juicy matchup.

Just in the last two games, far lesser talents Cole Beasley and Kendall Wright have scored three times, and Theland destroyed the Packers for two hundred yards and two touchdowns last time they played. Granted that was not from the slot um. Still great matchup over Alfred Theland, and I think there's plenty of production here. He'll get some extra looks with digs out. Rudolph gets a C grade. It took the loss of four Chicago linebackers to do it.

But Rudolph finally paid off in the Keys Case Keendom game last week. Hopefully that's gonna they will not require similar circumstances this week. The Packers have done a good job against tight ends all season, allowing four receptions and just thirty or four yards per game. They have not given up a touchdown. Thus the C grade for Kyle Rudolph. And then let's go to um Michael Floyd. I know there's there's some steams to play Michael Floyd here because

he'll start in place the Stefon Diggs. But Michael Floyd's last game with more than thirty six yards was almost a year ago, and his total number of receptions as a Viking is now sitting at one from last week's game. That's it. I just don't I don't know that he goes from that level of production to somebody that you want to start in one week. Not impossible. Uh, He's Paul Allen's um one hit wonder, So you never know.

Jerick McKinnon gets a C grade here. In past seasons, we Vikings have asked Jerick McKinnon to step up in many opportunities here, and it's never really come to light. He did have that fifty six yard touchdown run last week, but his other runs average two point four yards per carry. Packers of the twenty second ranked run defense and have problems with timeshare speedbacks. Chris Carson had a good game, Davant Freeman had a good game. Tore Cohen did well

against them. So there are some opportunities here. Hopefully you can catch a few passes as well. See great Jerick McKinnon. That was a beefy matchup. So case Keenum like has terrorized Tampa Bay during his career. Supposedly, maybe it's three way, maybe it's a Bay thing, so maybe you'll do it. Yeah, every every team with the Bay isn't is in trouble against case Keenum. That would be handy here. If you had to live on one bay, would you choose the one that's on a beautiful, warm ocean or the one

that's on the western side of Lake Michigan. Mm hmm, go to the ocean. I've been. I've been to the Green Bay a couple of times. I don't really need to go back. When we come back nine players, not normally and you're starting lineup, take a chance on me. Will tell you who they are when we come back your distinct of Fantasy Football Weekly on the fan, ch step chance. Yeah, welcome to the show Fantasy Football Weekly. Take a chance on me. And this is what I've

got to believe is the original Swedish version. I'm just guessing, not owing any Swedish. I wouldn't say Nola for a year, but I didn't learn any Swedish. I saw a plenty of Swedish. That is a good looking campus. Let me tell you, Yeah, I w it's a good stay the same deal. I'll challenge you on that one. Uh, take a chance to me. Nine players not normally in your starting line up. We beginning at the quarterback position, Scott, Uh, I take a chance on me. Quarterback is Jacoby Brissette.

Monday Night against the Titans. They're allowing The Titans are allowing two point six touchdown per game to quarterbacks, which is the worst in the NFL. They have allowed multiple touchdowns in four their five games, and in the two games Tennessee played against the rushing quarterback Russell Wilson had four hundred yards and four touchdowns and Deshaun Watson had over three yards and five touchdowns. Not on the ground. No, no,

but a little bit of ground yardage. Over the last three weeks, Bristte has rushed for sixty one yards and three scores to go along with his two d forty three yards passing. Love him in this week, and if you have Mariota, he's a good backup plan because they both played in the same game. All right, Brian, your quarterback. I am doubling down on Josh McCown. McCown last weeks. My guy last week had two touchdowns. Like you get two touchdowns on a Josh McCown, you get the peacock.

I'll take it, accepted the bell cow I just trying to get that the bell cown wandering free? Yes, alright, I was doing the WALKA shame around somewhere. McCown is a marksman with the footballing completed over step his passes over the last three weeks. He now draws the Patriots, who are allowing passing yards per game. Every opposing quarterback has top three hundred yards. New England has surrendered the most passing touchdowns to the position, and the Patriots will

certainly score points. The Jets will have to keep pace, so mccount will be a fantasy Helper. This week, you're doubling down on your guy. I'm doubling down on my guy from last week. We're quadrupling down. It's Brian Hoyer against Washington. You gotta pick your spots with Hoyer, namely against bad defenses. When facing the Rams and the Colts, Brian Hoyer's average game three hundred forty two yards and

two touchdowns. This week he faces the Josh Norman Liss Redskins secondary, and even with Norman dated allowed passing touchdowns in every game, Washington is a terrific run defense. And with Carlos Hyde hurting Mike Shanahan, it's gonna be passing throughout this game. Don't forget the Shanahan revenge Angle. Jannahand revenge Jangle absolutely, and that's not the only revenge jangle from that game has been able to discuss playing as

we will discuss later. That's about the running back position, Scott, Yeah, I have Chris Ivory for Jacksonville. I know four Nette is gonna run all over that Rams team. The Rams there bottom five defense, allowing a hundred and sixty six rushing yards per game to running backs, but over the last two weeks, Chris Ivory has gotten nine touches forty two yards. And you know, maybe when four Nette gets

tired of running, they'll let Ivory in for in. Just I mean, I've Rey had a goal line rush last day. He didn't score, but it might happen this week. It's it's one heck of a you know, dart through all right, Bryan, I'm going to Oakland's Jalen Richard at home against the Chargers. Um. I don't think the Raiders want Derek carrd is broken back standing in the pocket too long in this game against the team the Chargers, who had the high sack

percentage in the NFL. Raiders are going to lean on their running backs in this game, and that certainly includes in the passing game as well. DeAndre Washington is if you with a hamstring injury, John Is a Olah Walle has already been ruled out. That leaves Marshawn Lynch and Jalen Richard. Shard will get a handful of carries, but

certainly will handle all the passing work. The Charges just allowed ten catches the Giants running backs last week, so I think Richard is a PPR helper as well as week your leader in the NFL and yards per carrey is Alex Collins seven point one yards per carry. Terrence West is out for a month. Buck Allen excuse me, sorry, Bunk Allen is going to be more of a pass

catcher and that's what he does. It goes up against the Bears is a Bears defense that's a lot of rushing touchdown and every game this season, and the rushing touchdowns should go to Alex Collins. Let's go to the wide receiver position. Well, I don't know what received endight end receiver, all right, I'm going with Ryan Griffin for Houston. I like it. With so many tight ends injured or I'm by, I mean, a lot of people are looking for something. The Browns have been crushed by tight ends.

Jesse James, Ben Watson, Austin Faring, James, Tyler Croft all had at least six catches of the brown against the Browns. Three of them scored. Ben Watson didn't, but he had ninety one yards. I mean, they've allowed five touchdowns to position and Griffin leads tight ends and targets over the last three weeks for the Texans with five per game. Kind of like that call, all right, nice. I too, am going tight end, which makes this great data for someone playing on fanball, where you can play up to

three tight ends. That's a good point. You could play three differentiator from the competition in my opinion. But anyways, I'm going Kovie Fleaner at home against the Lions. Fleaner has fizzled since scoring in his first two games of the season, but I like him in this matchup, even with Willie sneed back, Even with Willie sneedback, and we don't know what capacity, but Detroit is ranks against tight ends by football outsiders that are allowing more than seventy

yards per game to the position. And in his time in New Orleans, Fleener is averaging twice as many yards at home than he is on the road. So he's much better at home where he's playing this week, So I got cleaner. My receiver is ju Ju Smith Schuster. If you don't know, he is your slot receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Um He's been good enough to start since Week two, displacing a long time slot receiver, Eli Rodgers. His yardage has improved in every one of his games.

He has been targeted at least four times in every game, and he's already scored in two of his four NFL starts. He's a fat fifty scoring rate. Juju Smith Schuster, He'll go up against arguably the worst cornerback in the NFL, Philip Gaines, who Pro Football Focus ranks as the one hundred eight cornerback out of the one hundred nine quarterbacks that they rate. Also in Juju Smith Schuster, he's six in the NFL. He MSS speak one, he's six in

the NFL and red zone targets with seven. How about that, Juju Smith Schuster, I like, thank you for adding a little sizzle. I can't wait till Juju gets a B great on the show. Someday gets a ju Ju b G. Nice. You should have saved that, and I'm out you guys, Yeah, you're done. Cleveland, it takes on Houston. The the Cleveland running game has been an utter disaster. How do you feel about how do you feel about crow? Well? But Duke Johnson. There's Duke Johnson. Though Duke Johnson has been

a pleasant surprise touchdowns of three straight games. Right well for for Cleveland. First off, I'm not giving any a grades, just none, because you know the Browns. I'm giving Duke Johnson and B grade. And this is more about Duke Johnson is the matchup the The Texans are only allowing twenty two yards per game in the receiving game. That's

where Duke Johnson thrives. But Terence West scored twice last week, and it's really hard to ignore Duke Johnson averaging six catches, eighty five yards and a score over the last three games. I think he can overcome that matchup. I have a C grade on Isaiah Crawl, and honestly, I thought about just putting him his bank. Frankly should have been a bench in every one of his previous games, so honestly,

I wouldn't have been felt bad if you did. Honestly, this is like the lowest of SEA grades you can get. I think he'll get ten carries in the first ten plus carries in the first half. That's only why uh for Net and Hunt are the only two runingbacks to top forty five yards on the season against the Texans

and Corals averaging three point one yards per carry. And when the Browns fall behind by ten points, Krawl only has eight carries and that's been over seven and a half orders worth of play, so he's barely getting a touch carry per quarter and they're constantly down by ten, which is why Duke Johnson, as the past catching back, is getting much. Texans will get up by ten pretty early. I'm afraid he'll be gone. Curl will not play much

in the second half. Right in the passing game. The only guy I'm really starting, and and it's a little if he is David and Joku. He's scored in three of his four four games. The Texans are allowing you over seventy yards per game to tight ends in the last three weeks, fifty yards or score for for the starting tight end. I think Najoku's talent is gonna win out, even though the valve is still involved. I'm benching Hogan. I'm mentioning all the wide receivers because it's kind of

like fantasy, whack them all every week. It's a different target. Probably remember where Sharp Higgins was a thing week ago. Yeah, I mean, Ricardo Lewis has led in the last two weeks, but I'm not confident in that situation this week against the Texans. All right, let's go to the Houston side. Deshaun Watson A grade. He's my number one rand quarterback this week. He's also playing a team that allows two

point six touchdowns per game to quarterbacks. Just uh He's He's the only running quarterback that faced the Browns so far. Brissette ran to in Deshaun Watson. You know, has the ability to run. Every quarterback against the Browns has multiple touchdowns, and I think you can argue Watson's the best quarterback they will face, will have faced Hopkins. Pretty obvious A

for me. I'm moving on uh C grade for Will Fuller. Yeah, I know, he scored twice each of the last two weeks, but seventy of the the wide receiver production that goes against the Browns is in the wide receiver one. The second wide wide receiver against the Browns is averaging only twenty four yards and hasn't scored all the touchdowns. Are the number one wide receiver against the Browns. So I don't exactly love him. I I did give him a

C grade because of that. Trust him because the last two weeks it seems like Watson and him do have a connection. Uh C grade for Lamar Miller. The Browns are holding all the running backs under three yards per carry and even Levy on Bell only at thirty two yards in week one. That said, Miller is seeing six of the touches seven percent of snaps last week. He's one of only five backstaff fifteen fifteen touches every week this season. That volume. I'm giving him a seagret. It's hard.

It's hard to ignore. Ryan Griffin was my ticket chance on me player and bench the rest all right? Perfect. When we come back, New England takes on the Jets, you'll find out if um Elijah McGuire is sitting on a big game or not, and if there are any possible Patriots. You'd actually mentioned this matchup when we returned to Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. You're distinctive Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. Welcome back to the show.

It is Fantasy Football Weekly. You got a big block of matchups for you, beginning with New England at the New York Jets. Brian Johnson start all my Patriots, right, yeah, I do do not have a bench grade here. Uh. Starting with Tom Brady, he gets to nay, he's expected to play with the shoulder injury, like he'll play. The Jets have faced garbage quarterbacks outside of Derek Carr, who threw for three touchdowns. Brady can certainly do the same.

Rob Gronkowski, on the other hand, I'm gonna give him a B just for Bee where I'm a little nervous with Gronk as always, but he should be good to go with the thigh injury. Practiced all week, practice all week, ten days off, He's fine. He will play. Who knows how how long I'll need to play for, but you're certainly starting him this week against the Jets. Opposing tight ends have been involved against them. Buffalo tight ends combined for five catches seventy five yards and a touchdown. Oakland

tight ends caught six balls. Cleveland tight ends caught six for seventy two and one. So gron can match that box square by himself quite easily. Brandon Cooks he gets a B as well. His target totals are a little alarming this year. He hasn't seen more than eight targets in the game. Not one target in the red zone yet either, So I'm a little worried about Cooks. But Michael Crabs he had a monster game against the Jets.

DeVante Parker had a very strong performance as well. Cooks is certainly of that ilk, so he gets the B grade. Like him, I still like him, but I like Chris Hogan more. I'm giving him an A here uh a homecoming of sorts, by the way, you always gotta like the homecoming bonus in addition to the revenge not quite revenge here uh. Four catches seventy yards the last time Hogan was in New Jersey. That's a safe floor for

him in this one. Over the last three weeks, he has been targeted five times inside the ten yard line. That's very good usage in the red zone, and taller wide receivers have had more success against New York, so he gets the A grade here. Danny Amndola, I was closely giving a B two. I'm gonna give him a SEA with Gronk back in the lineup. But get this. Since the start of Amundola has played in twenty three

games with Gronk active and six with Gronk inactive. In the games without Gronk, Amendola has only average an extra target and less than one added catch per game. So it's not like his production hinges on Gronk being or not. So he's certainly more. Did you do He's mind or twelve wide receiver. This week it's the buster screen effect, the screen door as we've called him Custer screen because of because of what he lets the opposition due to him. We um. I think that's a nice matchup, and I

still like Amndola. I can be on board with it. I was very close to a be So let's go with it. B there you talked to me into it. Uh. And over to the running backs, Mike Gillossly, he only gets a C for me. Over the last three weeks. He has just one rush from inside the five yard line, no surprise. He hasn't scored since Week two. But the Jets are ranked twenty against the run by Football Outsiders d v o A ratings, and they've allowed the fourth

most running back touches and gold to go situations. So gillless lye uh, I think I here's an angle you got. You got Brady coming in with a sore arm, You've got a terrible Jets run defense. Why don't you just run a bunch in this game? I like gillously and if I were doing like a fan ball, if I were used to making a fan ball roster, I would consider avoiding all of the all of the Patriots except gillously and try to take take the angle that it plays out that way as a as a run first

offensive game plan. I can't argue that either. But I still James White though, giving him a B. Here at least eight targets and three of his last four games, and he's caught at least seven passes in those three games. Uh. The Jets have allowed receiving touchdowns and back to back games, and White caught a touchdown in their last meeting. So writing is on the wall for a White touchdown in this game, I think. So he gets a B grade over to the Jets. Uh. Let's start with Elijah McGuire.

You mentioned him. He seems like the best running back start in this game against the Patriots, who are top twelve in our rushing and receiving yards allowed to running back, so they are far more generous through the air. Um blow Powell very banged up with that calf injury, unlikely to play. Matt Forte should make his return from a toe injury, but I just don't trust that guy. So McGuire is a running back I'm starting out of this crew. I'm giving him to see almost a borderline B. But

he just doesn't hasn't looked that great. He hasn't really passed the eye test, but you should get the opportunities here. He is startable as his Austin Safari and Jenkins. My premature speculation from a few weeks back. Over the last two weeks, a s J is second among tight ends and catches. He saw a healthy eight targets last week

than KP Talk also scored. The Patriots are one of four teams to see forty plus targets from opposing tight ends, and they've allowed the most red zone targets and red zone touches tight ends so far this year, so A

s J will continue to surge in this one. I'm also starting Jammin and curse he gets to be at least one opposing wide receiver has caught at least one touchdown indoor top to one hundred yards in every game against New England, so it's no surprise of Patriots have also allowed the fifth most catches and second most yards to wide receivers. That almost makes Robby Anderson the hail

Mary c play as well. In a game where the Jets will likely be chasing points, I don't like it a lot, but if you're desperate, you could play Anderson. And that is why I might take a chance to make quarterback was Josh mccounty. Chicago takes on Baltimore, and well, let's start with the guys you ken start in Chicago. There's not a lot Jordan Howard for starters, four touchdowns have massed his yard is deficiencies, though he's been under eighty total yards in four of the five games he's

played this year. Um and the Ravens defense though bottom ten against the in the league against rushing yards allowed, and they've given up a rushing score need to the last three games, so I I expect a lot of running to keep Mitch Trabinsky's reps reasonable. He or so B grade on Jordan Howard Tarik though on the bench. He hit rock bottom Monday night, targeted just once, finished with negative six receiving yards, and I don't see the

bombs back coming here. Against Baltimore, they've allowed the fourth fewest receptions to running backs and have not given up a passing touchdown through the air to the position. So he's on the bench going to the passing game. Everybody's on the bench except Zach Miller. Now we all know rookie quarterbacks do the dump off stuff to the tight end. We've seen it for years, we saw it last week.

It already, it's already starting. Miller will have a decent shot at finding the end zone for a second consecutive week against the Baltimore defense that gave up the three touchdown to Marcedes Lewis a couple of weekends ago. This is an opportunity for Zach Miller and for those another another of the tight end sleep We had all these slight tight end sleepers coming out our ears today. It's a good thing too, because the tight end position has been a disaster this season. If you don't one of

the good ones. Uh Drabinsky showed plenty of talent on Monday Night, but it didn't e quit into fantasy stats at all, just hundred twenty eight passing yards. He's got almost no steaving talent to work with. Everybody else is on the bench. Let's go to the Baltimore side. Already told you Alex collins Is might take a chance on

me running back. He has a B grade here also with a B grade, and it pains me, bunk Allen, He'll yield a lot of carries to Alex Collins, who is literally doubling up his yards per carry, but he should be able to shine as a receiver against a group of Chicago linebackers potentially missing three or four starters in this game. Alan bunk Allen five or six targets in every game since Danny Wood had went down B B a B grade in PPRC grade in standard scoring leagues.

The only other starter I've got for you here is Mike Wallace, who remains the downfield threat for Baltimore, but Prince and mukamarket shadow him and that might effective effectively neutralize him. Mukamara in the limited duty this year is Ben Good. Chicago basically shut down Minnesota's outside passing game on Monday Night, although Green Bay, Tampa and Pittsburgh had wide receiver's post at least seventy five yards and or a touchdown against the baron earlier matchups. Whillace is your

home run threat. You know the done Wallace. You just gotta make the best on his four targets and maybe that happens here. Everybody else is on the bench. Flaka, I don't need to tell you bad. He's been Jeremy Macklin total dud since week two. Let's go to our next matchup, Tampa Bay taking on the Arizona Cardinals. For Tampa Bay, Mike Evans kind of an inconsistent season, and now he draws Patrick Peterson, another in a series of tough matchups for Evans. What do you think, Yeah, it's

a really tough matchup. Hilton, Bryant, Garson, Jeffrey all had rough mount outings against Patrick Peterson. I think Bryant was the only one to score. I gave Mike Evans a B grade. You're probably not benching him, but uh, don't get too excited about this matchup. Deshan Jackson, however, I'm I'm really excited that for that matchup he draws Justin Bethel,

who's been really exploited this this year. Deshan Jackson is averaging a whopping eighteen yards per catch, and the number two receiver against the Bucks is also allowing eighteen yards per catch to non number one wide receivers. The Cardinals have also allowed seven wide receivers to either score or get a hundred yards against them, and only one of them was the number one wide receiver. Secondary receivers are crushing.

The crushing the Cardinals is here, and so I love Deshan Jackson and gave him a B great as well. You like Jackson better than Evans, I just might. I mean, it's just the matchup. It's it's just the matchup. I mean, de Sean Jackson only needs to catch four or five passes to get to a hundred yards the way he's going now, when the average eighteen yards to catch, that makes it pretty easy. I will say this about Evans

and Pat Pete real quick. I used to do your wide receiver rankings way back in the way for a fantasy victory Church. I remember doing a detailed look at all the touchdowns and Patrick Peterson. It's all the tall guys six three or higher for like two to three years are the only ones who scored against Patrick Peterson. And I like that. Evans certainly falls in that category. But it's yeah, tough matchic like, yeah, he still gets a B grades absolutely. Jamis Winston. I gave an a grade.

He's been crushing at the last three weeks forty one past attempts three thirty yards per game. Over that stretch, he scored in all but one of his NFL games, and he faces a Cardinals defense that allows two touchdowns per week. Two quarterbacks on average. UH top twelve quarterback for me this week. Cameron brad scored three three weeks in a row. He's caught four balls or got over over six targets in every one of those games. He led the league in touchdowns. Last year, Ertz and Doyle

had good games against the Cardinals. I think Bryd's a C start. Doug Martin I give a B start to. I'm mostly hoping for volume here. The last three backs that have played Arizona got between seventy five and nine total yards, and I think with four fourteen touches and five point seven yards per carrying his first game, if he gets similar workload this week, he could be a decent B start bench. The rest over on Arizona Larry Fitzgerald,

I think he's pretty automatic start. He's third in the league in targets and receptions, and this week gets matched up against one one of Pro football focuses lowest rated cornerbacks in Robert McLean UH. Across from him, John Brown UH. He the games that he was healthy for, he was second in targets behind Fitzgerald and the and the Bucks have allowed eleven different receivers to gain either fifty yards or a touchdown. And that's just in four weeks, eleven

different receivers. So I think there's the opportunity for him there. Carson Palmer, I'm actually given an A grade. He's attempting forty five passes per game. His offensive line and running game are terrible, so he has to Palmer averages three fifteen yards per game and the Bucks are allowing three fifteen yards per game, and the Bucks are also giving up two touchdowns per game to quarterbacks. I think it's a nice, nice matchup for Palmer, uh at the in

the running game. Yeah, what about Adrian Peterson? Yeah, Adrian Peterson, I'm I'm kind of in waiting sea mode. I did give him a C grade. But if he slots right into that ten to fifteen touches that Chris Johnson has, uh that the volume might get him there. The Bucks have only allowed one rushing touchdown, but he I get enough volume. As far as Ellington, they're they're Ellington's getting ten targets in over seventy yards per game over the

last three weeks. It's it's hard to BENJ might give him a B grade just on that safe PPR floor, and Allington's usage won't change with Adrian Peterson. It's like Peterson's into his receptions. No way. Peterson the receiving back nah and and the Buxer bottom seven in receiving yards allowed to running back. So that's prime for Ellington. I'm benching everyone else. Sounds good. Let's let's try to squeeze in one more matchup into this segment, and that is

the Los Angeles Chargers at the Oakland Raiders. Bryan. The Los Angeles the Chargers passing attack is always really difficult to figure out. With the exception of one guy, Keenan Allen, seems to always get his targets. How do you feel about Keenan Allen in this matchup? Yeah? I give Keenan Allen in a he will see a slot corner t J. Carey, who Pro Football Focus has ranked nineties six out of

a hundred and fifteen cornerbacks. So yeah, and two of the last three slot receivers to face Oakland have caught at least six passes, So that's probably safe floor for Keenan Allen. He's caught six passes in a quarter before, so he gets the eight grade. I'm giving Tyrell Williams and Travis Benjamin to see here. Even though Mike Williams is likely to make his pro debut, Williams is on the bench for me. I gotta see him do something

before he is startable in fantasy. But um, as for Williams and Benjamin, Oakland's outside cornerbacks Shawn Smith and David Amerson have not been too good this year. Both both have allowed a pass the rating about hundred and forty plus in their coverage hundred plus both individually over a hundred and four. They've allowed to combine four touchdowns as well,

So I like Williams and Benjamin this game. Benjamin caught a touchdown in one game and top two hundred yards in the other against Oakland last year, so I'll give him both the start. And that certainly makes Philip Rivers startable. Uh he gets to be Uh. He totaled six touchdowns against the Raiders last year, who are allowing a completion percentage of sixty nine this season. And Rivers just put up a hat trick on the road against the Vontageiant secondary.

So he's in play here. I should have mentioned Hunter Henry first. He gets to be as well. Uh, he was actually utilized again last week in games where he's actually been targeted this year. Yeah, which is three or five or three of them. Yes, he's been great in those three games. Yeah, he's scored or top to eight yrs in those games at least throwing the ball once and something good is gonna happen. So he gets to

be I'm putting Gates on the bench. He finally has what he needs to get into the Hall of Fame now he but who knows watch Gates came score three touch. I don't think. I don't think that Henry is the guy you want to start. I think Gates at this point is injury backup guy to Hunter Henry. Yeah, I'm with you, but uh, you never know what old man value. What tricks he can is up as sleeve. But anyway, lastly, for the Chargers, Melvin Gordon gets to He looked awesome

last week. The Raiders just allowed hundred and twelve yards to C. J. Anderson and one to Jaboris Alan. Gordon can certainly put up those numbers. Um over to Oakland Side Derek Carr is making his return from a broken back, yes, broken and by the way, two weeks early, which I don't like, to be honest, not that I wanted to see more of EJ. Manual, but I'm nervous about him getting with this game. Yeah I need to. I'll give him a c No, I'm gonna put him on the bench.

Screw it. He's on the bench. Chargers are allowing just like two yards and one and a half passing touchdowns, pretty game to quarterbacks. That's probably cars ceiling in this game where I said I'd like the running backs that you leaned on heavily here. So he's on the bench for me, and Amari Cooper is not on the bench, but he's pretty damn close. I'm giving him to see. Here's his yardage output in the last three games, six

nine eight. That's unbelievable from Mary Cooper yet never I never thought that would happen, and even one game, let alone three straight single digit yardage games for a coups. So if you're a Mary Cooper owner, grab a coin and flip it, because here are his four career box scores against the Chargers five for one, thirty three and one. Then two for ten, then six for one, thirty eight

and one, and then one for twenty eight. So if science tells us anything that he's had a game here based on that that that pattern, But anyway he gets to see until he starts showing you can catch the ball, I will give him. Michael Crabtree and a though return to action last week top to eight ds and scored. He scored in all four meetings with the Chargers, who have allowed the second most wide receiver touchdowns, and at least one wide receiver has scored in all five of

the l a's games. Jared Cook is on the bench. I'm close to giving him a C grade because tight end is such a waste land. Uh Cook, We've given you like three or four guys already that you can take a chance on. Too many, too many tight ends already, and the Chargers are bottom five and targets allowed to tight end. So not a great opportunity for Cook here. Marshawn Lynch show, I will give him a b uh

your boy charge. The Chargers are allowing five and a half yards per carry and have allowed hundred and five more rushing yards than the next closest team so far this year, so Lynch gets a beach. It's we urge people, at least I did two weeks ago to go buy low on Lynch, and I think we're gonna be paid off last week. It's gonna pay off this week. I think he will as well. And I also think jay Len Shard will. That's why he used might take a chance on me running back. We're gonna work in one

call here, Ben, Hello, Hell, hi Ben? What's up? How's it going with again? Good? Thank you, excellent? Thankfull? Um. I got a question. I made a bonehead trade. Um. Do you guys like uh Kamara more than Abdullah? Yeah? Okay. The problem with the dula is, you know, Abdulah doesn't get any receptions, that's theoretic. He doesn't get any goal line work. That's Zack center in the rare answers is

that they even run inside the five. So he's just the yardish guy between the twenties and that just doesn't move the needle much. The second leg of that is I had to trade Matt Ryan and Abdullah to get Kamara and Treke Cohen. So I'm cool with that, right, I like it? I like it? Now? Should I know? Do I drop Treke Cohen and pick up Alex Collins or um Foreman from Houston. I'd probably go with Alex

Cohn's on that I I don't know Cohen's. Cohen's snap percentage keeps going down and Alex cons keeps going up. I think it's it's only a matter of time Cohen. Alex CON's is the most explosive back for the Ravens. I'd probably I'd probably go after Alex Collins. All right, if I speak quickly, can I can I ask one more? You get too? Because it is not lightning round? Yes, yeah, sorry uge Um, Mike Evans. You guys are just talking about possibly he's a b in my PPR league. I'm

gonna run him off. I got Crabtree, U, Tate, Davante Adams, Kevin Coleman, and Buck Allen. You may not be a starter in that scenario. I'd start him over Buck Allen, but that's it. I think I like all the other receivers better. All right, guys, you're the best. I'm trying to throw while you guys out there for in ups and get more and more listeners out here. Thank you, I love you guys. Take care, appreciate it Ben, It's just in Milwaukee at the Pops Theater. Man is that beautiful?

Holy cow, what a venue that was terrific. When we come back, five tough questions for a panel of experts, you can play along, So if you can go five and oh. When we return to Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fans of Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, Hour number two. My co host today, Scott Fish is inaugural show. Brian Johnson, Welcome back. See here's the deal, Scott. No, she's not listening. Mike is not on. That's part of it. That's part of becoming

a savvy radio. You know, you can do a million podcast, but the podcast you just turn on the record. But then you don't have to worry about it. Again, it's a little trick here here. You could even you know, if you turn your mic on and you'll talk right through the commercials or whatever. I want to say. Yeah, I just said my wife is listening, so we get one extra listener this week. She doesn't. She doesn't listen

every week. Question number one. Absolutely, to this point, he hasn't scored a single touchdown and he's averaging just three yards per carry. But from this point, four reward will Cardinals running back Adrian Peterson being RB one, r B two flex or bench scott flex. Uh. I think he's gonna get that ten of fifteen touches per game, but I don't think he's gonna get much more. That offensive line is just terrible, just terrible, and he doesn't contribute

in the passing game. I think the offense is gonna run about how it ran with Chris Johnson. Maybe Adrian Peterson's a little better, but I think he's purely in flex mode. Brian, Yeah, I think I'm gonna put him on the bench. I don't like Peterson for many many reasons. He's not catching any passes. We know that. I think Edward Scissor Hans has a better chance to catch and

passes out of that backfield. And here's some things a d hasn't done since the season, Uh, score a touchdown, get twenty carries, top thirty three rushing yards, and I don't like his chance of doing any of those things behind the Arizona line, and is ranked thirty and none blocking by Football outside their schedule through Week fourteen. When I think David Johnson comes back at the very latest is not that great. You have the Rams on there twice,

you have a by Tampa Bay, Seattle, Houston, Tennessee. There's only two soft matchups between now and week fourteen. So I'm putting Peterson on the bench on my team. The correct answer is flex because the opportunity is so good for him. He there will be opportunities. He will get almost all the carries. He is better than the undead corpse of the tap dancing Nancy Chris Johnson. Carson Palmer plays almost sixty of his snaps under center, and that's

critical for Adrian as well. We don't know how good or bad he really is because we've seen so little of him. We know he's not elite Adrian Peterson, but in all probability, he's a step up from Chris Johnson. And I see the schedule differently than you. I see only one top five run defense the rest of the way, and that's not from the ten weeks, so I think there will be some schedule opportunities. The bad news Arizona calls the fewest running places in the NFL, and so

it will not be a volume opportunity for him. It's gonna be goal line stuff and Kenny turn fifteen carries into something meaningful of a flex spot. The answer is sometimes yeah. Question number two. To this point, he hasn't scored a single touchdown and he's averaging just three yards per carry. But from this point forward, will Bills running back Lashawn McCoy be an RB one in RB two

a flex or a bench Brian Well. In the preseason, McCoy was one of the guys I dubbed as a wanna bell I wanna bell cow because he didn't get the red zone opportunities that you like to see. But he's actually getting those. Uh, that's the vulture. That's the sound of Mike Tolbert, Mike Holibart. That's right, nicely done. But Shady is fifth and carries from inside the ten yard line. He's third in red zone targets among running backs, so he's actually getting the opportunities that have evaded him

in the past. Um He's also has the second highest target percentage among running backs. He's getting of the Bill's targets, which is a higher higher ratio than wide receivers like Julio Jones, Larry Fitzgerald, Pierre Garson, Golden Tate, alshon Jeffrey, So he's getting a ton of touches, a lot of opportunity. I'm gonna keep him at the RB one level. I do like his schedule moving forward. He as Tampa Bay, Oakland at New York Jets, New Orleans at the Chargers.

Those are five plus matchups in a row. So I'm going RB one with Shady, all right, I'm going RB two. I like a lot of what Brian just said, but I coming in this season, I didn't love Shady because I don't like running backs once they hit that eighteen hundred yard marker. We just talked about Adrian Peterson when he hit the excuse me that eighteen hundred carry marker

in the last seventeen years. In the last seventeen years, only a couple of backs have been really productive after eighteen hundred carries, and let's shaw mccoin hit at the start of the season. So I don't love him as an RB one going forward. I like him as an r B two. I think he's going to be a pretty consistent RB two based on his based on his touches. But man, there are a lot of backs I like better. Sometimes the correct answer is RB one and Brian uh

I took many of my talking points. I'll only mentioned a couple of other things. Whole new offense from Buffalo, It's not uncommon for that to take a month two months to really settle in. So I think there's a reason to think they get better. And the Bill's defense is really good, so the team is never like an abandon the run mode because they're down by twenty one points at half. So then I believe that McCoy will bounce back for all the reasons that Brian elucid elucidated.

And by the way, there are some desperate McCoy owners out there who have languished with him right now are probably sitting at zero one two wins, and they're looking at a bye week right now for McCoy. If you've got a strong team that can afford to maybe take a loss this week because you've just acquired McCoy, man go after him. What a great opportunity to buy low on McCoy. Davanny's hot question number three, Ezekiel Elliott will miss zero games, six games or something in between. Scott,

I'm gonna go with zero games. That we've seen it with the star Caps, we've seen it with Tom Brady. I just I just have a feeling this is gonna get hung up in courts. I think that they will file another injunction. I'm not sure if he gets it. I think it's a fifty fifty coin flip, but uh, lawyers are sneaky, and so I'm gonna go with zero games. I think they're gonna be able to push it off. Uh. Yeah, it's kind of a coin flip between zero and the six.

So I'm just gonna say it's gonna fall somewhere in between. If you know he can get to cut to three to four games, I think you should just take his medicine and accept that suspension and move on with it. Uh. I hope he gets six, just because I don't like him as a person as a person and don't have him money in my fantasy team, So I say six. So maybe you're gonna go six? Yes, Um, most probable outcome is that you will get zero for the reasons

that Scott mentioned. Preliminary injunction will likely be granted because Zeke's case seems to have a lot of merit. Remember the Texas Court. People are confusing why the Texas Court rolled this thing back. It wasn't because the case didn't have merit. It's because they said, we're not the right jurisdiction and the right jurisdictions new York, so go to New York court. So now they're just gonna repeat the

same process in New York. And among other things, the NFL didn't listen to the advice of their own lead investigator. And that's going to be I think that that and we don't know all the details of what of what they're suggesting, but that's that by itself suggests that this case will have some merit and that a court will look at it and go, yes, we'll grant you a preliminary injunction so we can figure out if we want to uh, we want to hear a full case on this.

The most probable outcome is zero games. Devanny's hot question number four with the development of Aaron Jones, how nervous should time Montgomery owners be a totally chill, be mild intestinal cramping or see Harvey Weinstein wants to have a private meeting in his office. Level of nervousness, Brian I might go d and he wants to have a meeting with Bill Cosby in his office, a project that they want to work on with you. Uh yeah, I'm very worried if I'm a Time Montgomery owner. I've kind of

expressed this throughout the preseason. I just don't think Montgomery, Uh well, he doesn't have the track record of a proven running back you can handle twenty carries a game, and he's already been knocked out in the first quarter of the season. So I'd be very nervous if I'm the Time Montgommery owner and he has struggled mightily on the ground. He has he does have the highest percentage

of carries against an extra defender in the box. That's from the running back scout who I mentioned last week. So he's not like he's a bad running back. But I just think Green Bay needs a more traditional back, especially near the goal line. So I am I'm taking

see you're taking the Harvey Weinstein progress. Okay, I'm just taking mild discomfort because I think even though Time Montgomery is still hurt a little bit, when he does come back, and it might be soon, he's still gonna get the points in the passing game, and I think he's still got a role there even if he gets half Wally pipped by Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones is the guy I

liked in Dynasty coming into the season. I didn't really expect this to happen so quick, but Aaron Jones is a really good back, and I can see that being a timeshare. Aaron Jones is a really good back. He looks like a better fit in this offense. He runs harder, He's bigger than than Time Montgomery is. That's ed the probable outcome here is that Time Montgomery shifts into a timeshare change of pace back and he could do a lot of what Christian McCaffrey is doing for Carolina. Five

or six rushes, five or six receptions a game. You know, he finishes with seventy yards and a lot of games and that's not the end of the world, So only mild intestinal cramping. Hot question number five. I hope somewhere somebody turned on the radio just for the end of that. Should fantasy owners drop every last giant Scott Sure? I was thinking that Evan Ingram might be the guy want before last week. He he had four catches in forty

yards in every single game. I really really like Evan Ingram, and right now he might end up being their wide receiver one even though he's a tight end, right, But there are so many tight end options out there on a weekly basis that I just just random flex play, kind of just match up plays that I don't know that you need to roster Ingram. He might be the only guy, but let's just go with none. Drop them all, Okay, Brian, it hits home, not really, but I'm not dropping Stirling

Shepherd Evan Ingram just yet. I see both getting at least eight targets per game, and that's that's volume that you need to roster. And starting in week ten, you know you don't have to go through a few rough patches here, but we we we can go. Heading into the Fantasy playoffs, you have at San Francisco, Kansas City, then at Washington, at Oakland and Dallas. Those are plus matchups. Are both players outside of Kansas City, uh, most likely?

And the good stretch continues into week fifteen and sixteen. For Shepherd, he has Philly, who has been brutal against wide receivers in Arizona, who has struggled mightily against slot wide receivers. So I think both are rosterable at the very least maybe not startable every week, but don't drop him just yet? Is that or is that not factory?

And Eli Manning getting traded to the Jaguars at this point, I don't know if that's auditioned by a subtraction, to be honest with you, but no, not factoring that yet, I'd be opened those talks bring the board of potty to Jersey. The correct answer is dropped all of your giants. And it's because of the schedule that you blew by, you know, yeah, sure in week ten. In the meantime, I got a bye week. I can't. I got bye weeks for the next four weeks. I at Denver this week.

You can't play anybody Seattle the next week, can't play anybody bye week. You can't play Shepherd against Seattle and Ingram. I don't think so. I wouldn't. That's where you tag him maybe through the middle, I don't know, But you're you're even assuming that Shepherd stays in the slot. We don't know that that's gonna be the case. They might kick him outside as the best receiver. Who knows. Either way, You're not gonna feel comfortable. So starting in these guys

for a month. I can't hold. I can't advocate holding guys with zero getting get that you can't. You don't feel like starting for one month in the middle of these bye weeks. So yeah, schedule might clear up later, but somebody's gonna be dropping those guys between now and then. Anyway, I really nailed those questions. You did get four out of five. I think one high score of all time six out of five. John Tube, Uh, let's work in one matchup into this segment, and it's the San Francisco

forty Niners at Washington and already gave you. Brian Hoyers. Might take a chance on the quarterback. I like Pierre Garson a lot too, is I'm I'm curious. Is there an angle for Pierre Garsona in a matchup with Washington. Can't think of one. He faces his former team without star corner Josh Norman, who's gonna be sidelined with a rib injury. Garzon hasn't scored yet, but everything else has been great. He's getting targeted ten over ten times in

each game. He's uh, he's on a fantastic hey from a yard of standpoint with Norman, the Redskins have been a have been very good against wide receivers, but most of that's because Normans their key guy Viking fans listening here locally, I mean, imagine if you take Xavier Rhodes out of this secondary, what happens? Everything changes? So I still like pere Garsona to B level. Marquis Goodwin is

a deep sleeper. Non number one receivers have outproduced the number one wide receivers going up against Washington, and Goodwin's coming off a gigantic game last week a target at eleven times, So deep sleeper Marquis Goodwin. George Kittle will be your fifth tight end deep sleeper that you could pick up this week. Now, I went Barker's last week, and we're not chasing last week's box score. Though Washington is a lot at least ninety five yards or scored

every starting tight end they have faced. That's Zach Ertz and Travis Kelsey would you expect, but also Gerald Everett and Jared Cook. If those guys can hammer the Washington secondary from the tight end position, why not George Kittle. Carlos Hide gets a C grade here. He's got three different problems working against him. He's got a hip injury. Which isn't healed, Matt Rita's roles increasing. And lastly, the Washington run defense is elite, giving up just sixties six

rushing yards per game. Only one opposing runner has scored. Now I could have a little more success of the air. The Redskins are giving a forty six yards through the air. So maybe together you can chip together a a decent game. And that's why he does get a starting grade. For me, we'll keep Matt Brita on the bench flipping over the Washington side. This entire Washington matchup is basically ghost comes down to this man. That guy has been a bust, but I gotta start him one more time because of

this matchup. That's your reoccurring theme for this one. Let's start, and most of its relates to the passing game. Kirk Cousins gets a B because San Francisco owns a bottom ten ranking against opposing quarterbacks in all of these categories pass attempts, past completions, and passing yards allowed. They've only given up three passing touchdowns. But that feels flukey to me,

and I think the touchdowns are coming. Terrell Prior. It's another in a series of seemingly juicy matchups for Terrelle Pryor. Hopefully he will do better than what we've seen so far Since Week two. Prior owns painful averages of just two catches, forty yards and a third of a touchdown per game, but San Francisco bottom twelve rankings against opposing receivers and targets, receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns allowed, so we like Prior. Jamison Crowder has been invisible, but

John Gruden. J Gruden vows to get him more involved, and it should start this week since face arguably the worst slack corner in the league wa Kawan Williams, Kwan Williams at Kwan Kwan Williams. There's plenty of danger here though in his last game, Crowder faced the other slock cornerback who's in the conversation for the worst, Philip Gaines and Crowder put up negative seven yards last week and

a juicy matchups. So I've still got a C grade on Crowder because it feels like it ought all work out. Let's go to the running game. Chris Thompson, I love him. This week he draws the defense that currently owns bottom five rankings in targets, receptions, and receiving yards and receiving touchdowns to opposing tailbacks. So Thompson should be good through the air. Really almost a dream dream opportunity for him, especially with Rob Kelly almost certainly not suiting up here.

Last week, utility back Marlon Mack carved up the Niners. This week, Chris Thompson utility back Somaj p Ryan should get all the start here with Rob Kelly expected to miss the game. Um, but we've got a long look at at p Ryan because Kelly's been in on the lineup, He's logged forty six carries. He's turned those into three point one yards per carry. That's it. Niners run defense is actually pretty good, dramatically improved from last year, giving up just three point nine yards per Carys. So I've

got per Ran on the bench. When we come back, the Los Angeles Rams taken on the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's an elite running matchup for both of these teams. Will tell you who we like more between Girly and Leonard four Nette. When we come back your distinct of Fantasy Football Weekly on the fan, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Scott Fish, Mike onto this time? My god. Nice see your trainable there. It is inaugural show for Scott Fish. You can send him some love on Twitter. Let him

know how he's doing at Scott Fish twenty four? Why the twenty four Big Kendriff junior fan? Growing up? All right, did you like the video game? I did? Yeah? S any s video game? What about the TV show? You had a TV show? TV show? No, but there was one TV show the absolutely yeah, um yeah, the booze hanging out and bring on the booze. Let's let's talk to Rams and Jacksonville. It's two elite running backs against two really bad run defenses. Is this as straightforward as

it looks? It really is? Todd Gurley's in a start over the first four weeks of the season, the Jaguars. Jaguars were stomped for a hundred forty nine rushing yards per game. Uh, they're allowing the second most rushing yards per game. Levian Bell didn't crush him last week, but he did get But they didn't take the ball. They kept. They asked, They asked Ben Roethlis We're gonna throw fifty five times in the game, exactly there was just poor

game plan. Fifteen carries for Levian Bell. I think that Sean McVeigh is gonna learn from Tomlin's mistake and run Todd Gurley down their throat. Last week was the only week Gurley didn't get ninety five yards. I think he gets back on track this week. I'm benching everyone else in this game. I just m the entire passing game plays. The top four Jags defense that leads the NFL in sacks, interceptions, defensive touchdowns and even second informal recoveries. They're They're only

allowing a hundred passing yards per game. Watkins and Woods gets a j. Boyer and Jalen Ramsey, two of the best cornerbacks in the league. And even if you think Cooper Cup is a sneaky play, slot receivers are only averaging twenty seven yards per game against them. So, uh, Antonio Brown the only receiver to top six yards bench every one of the everybody else for the Rams? Really, all right, let's go to the Jag side. Obviously only only player with a touchdown in every game this week

so far. Yep, and the Rams are kind of on that same boat. They've allowed seven touchdowns over over the course of the season and a hundred sixty six rushing yards per hundred sixty six yards per game to running backs. This is just such a great matchup for four NET the Jet. The Rams did hold down the mess that they called the Seattle backfield last week, but six different running backs before that either got seventy five yards or a touchdown for NET should have no trouble doing both.

Chris Ivory was my take a chance on me kind of a dart throw see start. You know, just you know, if you have some injuries or buys otherwise I'm benching everyone else. Blake Boardles attempting twenty seven passes per game, throwing for less than a hundred and fifty yards three times, and it doesn't have a multi touchdown game. It's just they have had a different wide receiver target leader each of the last three games. It's a hard pass for

everybody else. Pittsburgh takes on Kansas City and uh, we've got got an A grade and Antonio Brown it's always

an a start. Uh. I will note that he only runs thirty percent of his plays from the right side of the field, where star quarterback Marcus Peters play, so that means the corresponding sixty six percent of the plays are not on Marcus Peters, and the Chiefs have allowed the most touchdowns to opposing receivers, So Antonio Brown gets an A. That means conversely, Martavis Bryant is going to be on the Marcus Peters side more often than not, and so that means he's on the bench and he's

been brutal this year. Anyway, ju Juice Smith Schuster, the other receiver from the slot, was might take a chance on me wide out this week. Ben Roethlisberger through all of that comes out as a B. Here. There's a ton of intangibles in play. Will Ben Roethlisberger bounce back from the self doubt that he vocalized after last week's

five interception game? He has a chance. Chiefs, of the twenty fifth ranked past defense that've given up nine passing touchdowns on the season since Week four, opposing quarterback have enjoyed a cumulative touchdown to interception Rachel ratio of seven

to zero UM. But then again, it's been on the road, where over the last three years he's averaging one touchdown pass over the last half season of road games under one touchdown pass per game, so plenty of possibilities here for Ben Roethlisberger, a wide variety of potential outcomes and Levy on Bell normally I just go he's an A and forget about it. But this is a tricky matchup now. He housed Kansas City last week in the two meetings,

last year in the two meetings. But this year, the Chiefs haven't allowed it back to reach a d yards rushing. They've given up just one rushing touchdown since Week one. They've been even better against pass catching backs, holding them to three catches twenty two yards per game and no receiving touchdowns. I've got the rare B grade on Levy on Bell. Going over to the Kansas City side, Kareem Hunt is an obvious A against a bad Pittsburgh run defense.

In fact, he's my number one running back for the week. Kareem Hunt, let's go to the passing game. Alex Smith is a C against the Steelers defense. The path of least resistance definitely on the ground, and the game plan looks dubious for Alex Smith here. Fortunately, his newfound downfield passing prowess means that Alex Smith can get decent numbers unlimited volume. Still, Pittsburgh's even just three passing touchdowns all year, which is awesome, and an average of just one hundred

sixty four yards per game. So it's a bit's barely a C grade on Alex Smith. Tyre killed another low volume guy and a tough matchup with the Steelers secondary that hasn't allowed a wide receiver to top fifty five yards all year. But he is insanely fast and the three Steelers cornerbacks are usually slow, so maybe he cracks the long one here. He did nothing in the two matchups. Tyry Hill did nothing in the two matchups. Last year.

Pittsburgh played like the Browns and the Jaguars. It's not it's not a lot of great vikings in a in a game, you know where he's going to start. Yeah, it's so there's some of that too, But still I feel like this has got Kareem Hunt running up and down the field. Um, and those teams have all been running on the Steelers. If those teams can run on Steelers, Kareem Hunt, the NFL leader in rushing yards, will certainly

do that as well. Travis Kelsey is going to play in this game, but it's not a particularly favorable matchup. This is a Steelers defense that has allowed just one tight end touchdown and no tight ends to top forty five yards all year. He did have a moderate level of success last year in the two matchups b grade on Travis Kelsey. When we come back, we'll run through our final set of matchups, Premature speculation and lightning round all that between. Now on the top of the hour,

You're distinct of Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. Final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. While Charchan Scott Fish Brian Johnson.

You can stockpile tickets if you beat Charch. It's not easy. Charch has laid the gauntlet down, though, He's ready for you to take them on. So go to fanball dot com slash Church. Premature speculation is a bit that we do every show where we give you some guys that we think you should pick up now

that are potentially hot waiver wire pickups next week. Scott, who you got? You know, I'm going with Tyler Croft. He there owned by this week. So now that I Fit's out for the season, people might not be picking them up right now because of the bye, but then next week they may be. Yeah, exactly, so get him before getting before everybody else. He's averaging Since I f Its been, he's been averaging four catches in about forty

five yards per game, and he scored twice. He's the second most targeted wide receiver tight end on the Bengals over the last three weeks, and five of his final nine games are against bottom twelve past defenses, including two in the playoffs. In your playoffs, I like it, yeah, for its top of the year, So you know you've got clear sailing with him exactly, all right, Brian, who's

your premature speculation? Guy. I think those second round rookie wide receivers A Jones of the Buffalo Bills ZA has done virtually nothing so far this year, but someone needs to step up at wide receiver for Buffalo with Jordan Matthews still on the shelf. Um that someone has to be Jones, who has more targets and fellow Buffalo wide receivers Brandon Tate, Andre Holmes, and Kayalen Clay combined. Jones was targeted three times since hade the red zone in

his last game, so that was some encouraging usage. He's on hist by this week, so no one's gonna be adding him now, but I think you should because looking ahead, he's got a pretty nice schedule the next four weeks for wide receivers Tampa Bay, Oakland at New York Jets, and New Orleans. So those are kind of some shootout type scenarios, you could say, not really for Buffalo is

never gonna shoot up. It's a Jones is gonna see volume. Uh, Jordan Matthews is getting dropped everywhere, and he's gonna be out for another two weeks. I wonder at some point, if we're not gonna be talking about him, is a guy. You know, if A Jones doesn't emerge when Jordan Matthews comes back, then he's got to be the guy. I'm calling on that one. All right, that's two weeks from now. Uh, I'm gonna give you two. I'm gonna try to do quickly. One is Ricardo Lewis. He's the latest of the Browns

receivers to you know, to play whackable. But he's Kevin Hogan's guy. This is the difference here. In the last two games, he's gotten eight and nine targets, which has produced solid yard and yard yardage number sixty four and seventy one yards. And Kevin Hogan's your starter. And frankly, I think he's better than Deshaun Kaiser, so at at least two my eyes, So I think Kevin Hogan's gonna hold that job at least for a while. I'll take

his number one receiver. Kenny Brits gonna miss another game with the knee injury, not that he's even particularly relevant here. And the Browns are playing from behind the virtually every game. They have the sixth highest pass ratio of then secondarily Jimmy Garoppolo. Now I know my track record I'm figuring out when the Brady Garoppolo handoff is coming. Is a tad spotty, but here's your here's your angle. Tom Brady

has absorbed more sacks this year than all of last year. Already, he's on pace to shatter his personal record for the most sacks in any season with fifty one. He's also on pace to shatter as Pelvis if this keeps up. For some perspective, on fifty one sacks, that's nine more than the most sacked quarterback in the league last year, Tyrod Taylor. So he's on pace to have nine more sacks than the most sack quarterback for last year. And as we've discussed before, when you get to Brady's age,

the end comes with injury. Here's your angle. Uh. Fortunately, this week the Patriots played the team getting a few of sacks the Jets, so maybe have to do it this week. But Garoppolo came back. Yes, If Brady went out and Garoppolo were playing, Garoppolo would likely be a top ten fantasy quarterback most weeks. Let's get our final two matchups. In next up, Detroit takes on New Orleans

Brian We got a one legged quarterback for Detroit. Yeah, normally you'd give almost any opposing quarterback in New Orleans in a but I'm gonna give Stafford to be here because he's so banged up with that leg injury, and he's taken a lot of hits, and New Orleans pass rush is fairly legit. So I'm a little worried about Stafford finishing this game. But he's certainly worth the start in this matchup. A guy that's definitely worth the start.

It's Golden eight, Golden, Golden eight, Golden giving him an a on the fast of them this week. Yeah. In his career, he's played thirty nine games indoors and sixty three outdoors. Tata scored seventeen touchdowns in his thirty nine indoor games, nearly half a touchdown bre game. He's only scored twelve in the sixty three outdoor games. He's also compiled more yards and UH catches in the thirty nine indoor games than compared to the total from the sixty

three outdoor games. So he's a great play, especially with Kenny Bacaro expected to cover him from the slot. Thecaro is a safety. He's on a cornerback, so takes a primo primo play. Uh. The other wide receivers are not though. Kenny Golladay on the bench, not even sure if he's gonna play yet he hasn't played since Week three. He can't be trusted. I'm on the fence with Marvin Jones. H Ken Crawley and Marshaw Lattimore are very good cornerbacks

for the Saints. Not since Week one, no opposing wide receiver has topped eighty yards and only one has scored against the Saints. So I got Marvin Jones on the bench here, as I do with Eric Ebron. UH could never block last week. He he can't catch any So over the course of the show, we've given you five tight ends that I would rather play over Eric Ebron, who are available in almost every league. This could be the last time we mentioned his name on the show

with me. Uh. Then onto the running backs for Detroit. I'll give him you. Abdula b has at least fifteen carries and three or five games this year. He was vultured by his center last week, so fire up that sound effect if you want. Tony. But New Orleans is ranked thirtieth against the run by Football Outsiders and has allowed the fourth most catches and second most perceiving yards to running backs, so Abdu will get work on the

ground and in the air. So he's still a B level play and those passing numbers should make THEO Ritica a solid start in this one. But he has double digit double digit touches and just one of five games played, so for me, he's still on the bench even in this matchup. So he's on the bench over the Saints. Drew Brees is an ah you always love breeze at home.

I'm not gonna get into that one too much. Michael Thomas also gonna give him an a even though Darius Slay should be Uh's the tricky part of this, right, tricky part. But Slay allowed Calvin Benjamin and Devin Funches to score last week. UH number one receivers before that game, Stefon Diggs had five catches for ninety eight yards. Julio Jones had seven for nine one against Detroit. So that's a fair barometer for Thomas here with A with a

certainly high ceiling. Willie Sneed and Ted again, let's talk about these guys. Well, yeah, I think so Willie Sneeds gonna make his season debut um. We don't know what kind of usage he's gonna get though, and Ted Ginn hasn't caught more than three passes since Week one. I'm gonna give both the Sea just because they're at home in a fairly favorable matchup. Detroit has allowed a hundred and sixty five yards to wide receiver units and four total touchdowns over the last three weeks, so I'll give

both the Sea, but I'm not liking it. I like Kobe Fleaner a whole lot more than both of those guys. Use might take a chance let meet receiver. And then, finally, the running backs for the Saints, Mark Ingram and Album Kamara. I'm gonna give them both of b Ingram probably the better play and standard leads Kamara and PPR that both should see good usage on the ground. In the air, h Ingram will likely flirt with twenty carries while Kamara

will get around ten. Kamara should be more involved in the passing game, where this matchup favors uh Past catching backs more. The lines have allowed the fourth most catches and fifth most receiving arts and running backs this year, so he's slightly better play this week. I think come on. I'm fascinated to see how they use Alvin Cramea now that coming off that massive London game, then you go into the by then you trade Adrian Peter Sin So

what happens now with Camara? They're gonna throw him another eleven times in one game. I can't wait to see how they use them here and that'll be absolutely fascinating. There's there's a scenario out there where Camara is so good that he simply leaves Ingram and his dust. Although Sean Paynton has forever used multiple backs, but maybe Ingram is just so good that he becomes closer to like an RB one for fantasy. It is possible. Al right, Scott, final matchup of the week is the Monday Night or

Indianapolis Colts at the Tennessee Titans. You already talked about some of the some of the guys that you liked and take a chance of me like Jacoby Brissette. Yep, yep, I liked Jacoby Proctte. I did give him a B grade in this one. Uh t Y Hilton his his tunnel vision wide receiver to hy Hilton. His accounted for forty nine percent of Brissette's passing yards over the last three weeks, including two games of over a hundred and fifty yards. And this week he gets the Titans defense

that is worse than those two. The Titans have allowed a league worst nine touchdowns to wide receivers this season. And and Hilton is a big play guy. He he leads the He's tied for the league lead in receptions over twenty yards with eight, tied with our boys, Stephon Diggs. Um Hilton against the Titans last year, real quick five seven and a touchdown, seven for one, three in a touchdown. So yeah, good track, Yeah, a play for sure, a play, yep.

I'm giving Frank Gore a ce play. He's had at least fifteen touches in three consecutive games, and every running back that's had fifteen touches against the Titans has had either seventy five yards or a touchdown, So it seems pretty obvious there. I do have a little concern that, you know, Mac might carve out a little more. I think he will. Yeah, And and if Frank Gore did those touches dip a little, maybe he should be uh should be. I have missegreed he might be a B

grade if it wasn't from Marlon Mack. I'm bentioning everyone else though. I like Marlon Mack, but I can't trust him yet. Moncrief and Aikin they they haven't even topped three catches in the game over the Titans. I did all of these assuming Mariota goes Monday night, so so keep that in mind. Delaney Walker, I gave an A grade. He's averaging nearly seven targets and fifty five yards per game with Mariota in and the Colts are allowing seventy yards and a score to tight ends over the last

three weeks. Mariota a B grade. The Colts have allowed the second most passing yards this season, over three hundred per game, and have allowed eight touchdowns over the last three weeks. Uh, it's a good matchup for Mariota. Richard Matthews has led the Titans and targets every week since Week two and averaged eight per game with Mariota. He plays the Colts defense that has surrendered at least fifty yards to ten different wide receivers. He's Mariota's top target.

I like him as a B grade as well. Uh, Murray I have as a C grade de Marco Murray. Uh, the Colts are somehow kind of stingy on defense. No running back has top fifty five yards rushing on them. Uh, Duke Johnson and Todd Gurley at nice days, but that was a lot through the air, and Merley Murdy. He is only averaging two catches per game. So outside of that really nice day against Philadelphia where he had a

huge run, Murray has been mediocre at best. He's he's really only a c play because I think he might get fifteen or so touches. Yeah, if Castle starts, I'm mentioning the entire passing game, though I don't trust Castle to get anything done through the air. Nothing. I'm gonna go back to Marlon Mack for the second the He brought some sizzle to the table that we have not seen from a running back from the Colts in years, and Chuck Bogano said they're going to expand his role Tennessee.

Giving a fifty yards through the air on a per game basis to running backs, I think most of that could go to Marlon Mack. I I think he's in a bye week. I think he's startable. It's possible we'll find out well, you will find it. He's gonna be fun to watch that one. It's lighting around. You know what that means. Plenty of your phone calls between now on the top of the hour, and you know the rules. One question between two players, many of you have been

holding for upwards of really two hours. Thank you for your patients. Scott, your first Well, I was gonna ask for take a chance on me tight end, but I guess they don't have to do that. No, you don't. Um, I have a trade question. Um, I have Ryan Winston and um Stanford on my team, and I have a trade uh upper for Winston and Ellington for tomorrow. Yeah, I'm I'm yeah, I'm got the depth of quarterback. Yeah I don't. I don't mind getting rid of Winston at

all for for that. You have two good quarterbacks other than that, so yeah, I would take Tomorrow over Ellington going forward. Thank you, Scott. Aaron You're next. I gotta this week. Aaron Jones or Chris Thompson. Are you in a PPR league or a standard scoring leg standard? That's the answer that. Yeah, Aaron Jones, Brandon you're next. H right, good show? Thank you? Um so do I standard league?

A Montgomery or Alex Con Alex Collin, especially in standard scoring, who I have is gonna get the majority of the carry's in a very favorable matchup. Michael, you're next. I'm dropping Cutler. I need McCowen or oh, easily McCom for me easily. I that that matchup is great this week against the Patriots. Steve your next, Steve Yeah, Jordy Nelson or Mike Evans and Elijah McGuire or Andre Ellington. See the bit is it's one question between two players. Matt

you are next? Yeah? Um? Love Joe looking at a camp Aaron Jones or Duke Johns Aaron Jones or Duke Johnson half point PPR. I think he said it's a tough matchup for Jones. It's a king it is if Montgomery plays, I would lean Duke Johnson with Montgomery somehow say it's go down Jones. All right. I think Matt is next, Matt or that was Matt hold On Now Mark Hello, Mark PPR or Elijah McGuire or Pierre Gar song Pierre Gar songs, particularly in PPR where he's been

really good even without the touchdowns. Jim You're next? Yeah, Um, standards scoring a Smith Schuster or Mike Evans. Wow, it's come to this, and jud smith Schuster is my guy from taking a chance on me. But I can't. I can't start him over. Mike Evans, No, I can't do it. Rick, You're next, Hey, guys, four point PPR flex spot, Ellington or Golden Tape. All right, probably Golden Tate. I love Golden Tape. It's inside my top ten this week at

the receiver position. Trent, You're next. They love the Joan you Jordan Read or a J. Derby boy Charter Reads brought nothing to the table. He's got three ailments right now, even coming out of the bye week. Go with your go with your a J. Derby, So this is the week Reed goes off. Probably you know, is so so good for Derby. Let's do it, do it, go Tory Derby? All right, everyone, I like it. Jason, you're next, alright. Standards scoring Alex Collins or Camara because it's standard scoring.

I'm taking Collins, who I think he's got a great chance of a touchdown here. Collins has eight runs over ten yards and three runs over twenty yards. Really explosive, and I'm super high Camara. Don't get me wrong, but I think it's his best value comes as a full featured back, including the passing game. Gene, you're next? Oh yeah, that's going Mary Cooper for for sorry Cooper? Who Fuller? Fuller Cooper or Fuller? Wow? Fuller is a tough, tough matchup.

I think Hooper's his own walking tough matchup. His own hands are a tough matchup. Cooper has been terrible. He's got are but I can't. I just can't quit him yet. I'm gonna go with Cooper, just barely. Chris, you're on the fan alright? Uh point per Reception League and Chris Hogan or Davante Adams. Wow, that's that's a tough one. I feel so um. I'm going Hogan went to if Adams right, Jim you're next, Jim PPR, Yes, I'm her PPR. Gore or Ellington, sure by a mile, Zach You're up? Yeah?

Non PPR, t Y Hilton or Brandon Cooks. I'm going Hilton. I think he's gonna put up a huge day both in yards and touchdown. Luke, you're on the fan? Hey PPR again JR? Or Mark's lead? Thank you? Man? Go to the waiver wire. Dude, I don't know. Again, I gave Marks got also got the game plan working against him, which should be all running right. At least Gain has got the upside of the game plan that's going to go mostly through Breeze's arm. Again's got upside, Let's put

it that way. But seriously, ju Juice Smith Schuster is a way better start than either one of those, and I assure you he's available right now. Littany of tight ends that we mentioned on the show, I playing them over either of those guests. A right, Jim, you're our final caller today. My guys standards scoring uh, flex position, Jarvis Lantry or Jameron Breave. I'm going with Landry. I do like break, but he has scored three weeks in a row. The odds of a fourth might not be

for a bad game. Yeah, pante Parker out. I'm going Landry. Okay, sounds good. Enjoy your one yard per reception on Landry. Scott did good. We keep him. Scott did a great job. Maybe I'll even let you come back next week. He's done. He's a keeper. Uh and for your keeper leak.
