Injury Plague Has Set In

Brian Johnson in Scott Fish. Hello, gentlemen, what's going on charts? It's a injury plague week four, That's what's going on. So there's gonna be one of those times, and we're gonna be recommending guys. We may not even talk about Sean him in Culkin and get him in your line up, right, don't call him McCauley's cousin, though, no, it's not. I just made that up. Well, I would believe it. Teams are so thin right now that yeah, they call in

McCauley's cousin. Over the course of today, we're gonna break down every matchup fantasy style. As always, we don't tell you which team will win, we tell you which players will help your fantasy team win. You'll hear letter grades on every meaningful fantasy player, and we like to give you the rationale behind it. You know, Here's it's not just that this guy's will be. Here's why he gets a B grade. And you can decide if you want to go along with us or not. Later on we'll

answer three tough questions. We will also give you nine different players upon whom you can take a chance. These are guys that are not normally uh startable, and in many cases are on the waiver wire that you can pick up and play this week. And we'll also jump into a time machine to identify the players will be looking for on the waiver wire this week that everybody else is going to be trying to pick up next week. But Blamo already on your roster. You already got him.

We we've established in earlier shows our time machine goes Blamo. That's sound. That's the time machine sound. It's a very futuristic sound. Blamo. Not really Um, it's like a batman, like old school batman. Yeah. But when you try to go pick these guys up and they're already in a roster, it feels like a Batman, punch to the gut. Somebody else has already beaten you to that guy. We begin with our matchups. First, one out of the gate, Carolina

taking on Houston. Scott on the Carolina side, Kyle Allen four touchdowns the last week, He's got six touchdowns and two starts, no interceptions. A lot of people feel like he might be the better of the two quarterbacks for the Panthers. What do you think he does against Houston this week? Well, he got a week seventeen matchup for one of those, and he got Arizona's defense for the other. Helps is that is gonna help you look good? Uh?

Mentioned last week when talking about Houston, this secondary has an aging vet, a guy they picked up in free agency. Just you know after week one and a rookie. Uh, it's it's actually still another decent matchup. The Texans are allowing three hundred yards per game and multiple touchdowns in two of the three games. I still have a B grade on Kyle Allen. I think Houston's d can get beat and they're not pressuring like they used to. Uh remember when J. J. Watt was something other than just

a guy you saw on commercials. You know, I'll watch whole games and his name will come up like two times, and it's mostly because the announcers are gushing over how great he is, and then the whole game I'm waiting from to make a play. Yeah, we'll get to Derek Watt of l A the Chargers later. He's more relevant WAT than JJ right now. And definitely yeah, James Watt in the in the passing game the steam engin Wow. I think that's he's more relevant deep diving right now. Uh.

D J. Moore, I'm not afraid. He only had two targets last week, but he did have eight in the game last year with Kyle Allen. I think it's just what the defense gave them last week. I mentioned last week how I thought Samuel's deep speed could get a score and it did. Uh. This matchup I think is a little better from or Um. I don't think that first game means a whole lot. He's going to be matched mostly on Lonnie Johnson making his third career start. Uh.

That should be a good day for more. I'm giving him a B M. Also giving Samuel ob though as well. I think he can beat Jonathan Joseph. Still good, but he's he's getting up there. I think he could beat Jonathan Joseph. He grabbed five of his seven targets from Alan last week. Allen has trust in him. I like both of them with B grades. Olson, It's hard not to love this resurgence. Yeah, I'm happy for the guy. Yeah, I think we all, you know, we all wrote him

off as dead. But Greg Olson's back, Yeah, exactly, And and Kyle Allen looking for him in the red zone is nice. Seventy five yards two touchdowns last week, hundred one week after a hundred ten yard game Arizona. Man, uh, this is this is crazy that it's it's it's a good matchup Houston is It's not a good matchup. Excuse me. Houston's top five. But this resurgence of Greg Olson is giving him a C grade just because Kyle Allen seems to like him in the red zone. McCaffrey a grade.

Euston could be the best defense in the world, and I'm still giving McCaffrey and a grade. He's he's he's His upside is two hundred yards. Uh in a lot of games, He's got a one eight yard game and a two hundred yards exactly. Between those two was a math outing. Yeah, And Christian McCaffrey gets all the running back touches and Houston is giving up the second most receptions and over a hundred thirty seven total yards per

game two running backs. So a grade for McCaffrey. On the other side, Watson, I'm giving him a B grade here. He has eight total touchdowns in three ways three weeks, including two with his legs. The most passing yards that the Panthers have allowed is only this year is two hundred eight and having allowed over two hundred fifty in the last eight games, and in that eight game stretch only three multi touchdown games. But I think, I think

that it's it's gonna turn up for Watson here. He's he's a little too good to a lot of the quarterbacks they faced in that span weren't Deshaun Watson quality. So I'm going to give him a Can I give him a B minus Himma be you're happy with the

beat the thirty seconds ago? Alright, I'll give him a bank you Hopkins gets an A. He's going to get a healthy Joseph Doseph James Bradberry, who is not as good as Ramsey or Hayward Bradberry has had ups and downs over his career, but Hopkins was able to catch five plus passes on each of those other two guys. He should be fine against Bradberry. Will Fuller I had firmly on the bench, but he has seven targets in

each of the last two games. Dante Jackson should have been a tough matchup for him because Dante Jackson can run with will Fuller. Dante Jackson is likely out for this one. This is one where you watch. If Dante Jackson doesn't play, Fuller can get in your line up

as a C grade. If he does, I'm benching. I think he's more than a C grade and you know you're waiting for you know, as we all know, it only takes one catch for will Fuller of the long one and um Dante Jackson himself has already given up two touchdowns, So even if he goes, I kind of liked him in this matchup anyway. I like him more than you stick him in any By the way, practically ree and fan ball scoring for will Fuller. He could be a very good DFS play. Stills in Q tier

are splitting the slot snaps. I'm keeping them on the bench and hide after After eight point three yards per carry in game one, he had three point three yards per carry over the last two games. He was saved by a touchdown last week. Caroline is middle of the pack. They've allowed some good games to Brown, Gurley, Payton, Barbara, Dave Johnson. So I'm good give him a C grade, but I don't love it all right, that's the end of that. Cincinnati taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's been

a dismal year for Joe Mixon. Without a doubt, it looked a little better, I thought last week, offensive line getting a little healthier. What do you think about him against what's really a pretty good Pittsburgh run defense. Yeah, well I don't They haven't been that good. They've allowed the most totally yards of running backs per game at a take take it, take that, But but you were right.

Mixon has been a major dud. And even more concerning, he was banged up earlier in the year, but he hasn't been on the field from more than the snaps in any game that it's not bell cow status. It is the injury else. But I'm bet not a bounce back here from mixing. As I said a hundred nine combo yards per game the Steelers are allowing to opposing running backs. Uh. They've also allowed the third most catches

to running backs. Of course, Jio Bernard is a threat in that category, which makes him a viable dart throw in PPR leagues. But I'm giving mixing and B He's gonna bounce back in this game, I hope as a Bengals fan. Moving over the receivers, Tyler Boyd gets a b as well. Boyd is fourth and targets among all wide receivers and sets up nicely against the Steelers, who have allowed at least one wide receiver touchdown in every game.

Fellows a lot receivers. Julian Edelman, Tyler Lockett, and Dante Pettis all fared well against Pittsburgh, and for what it's worth, Boyd scored twice in his loan meeting with Pittsburgh last year. I do believe J. J J. Green was healthy, but still but they have John Ross the Bengals do, but he gets to see always a boom er Bus play. But I'm leaning boom in this one. Um. Pittsburgh has allowed fifteen completions of twenty plus yards already that plays into

a nuts. That's a season for some secondaries. And uh, you know, Ross had two great weeks and last last week he was shut down by trade as White understandably, he's one of the better shadow corners in the league these days. So I'm giving John Ross a CE. I do have to mention Audentate only because he's six five to thirty and looked pretty good last week eighty eight yards against the Bills. But he's on the bench for now. But we're watching I on audent Tate and Tyler Ifford

gets a seed to uh. This will be his first game against the Steelers since three years since he's facing the Steelers. Uh. He ran three times the pass routes the cg USMA last week which was very encouraging and will dis Lee George Kittle both good games. Disley had

a great game against the Steelers. So Iford is viable with the Sea and that that gives Andy Dalton see almost might take a chance on the runner up and real quick multiple touchdown passes of his last three against Pittsburgh, so he is viable, especially in two quarterback leagues over to Pittsburgh. James Conner another major disappointment at the running back position. But this is a bounce back spot for him obviously, and since he he gets an easy A,

I won't even go into it. You're starting James Conner with confidence this week finally, so he gets an A, as does Juju uh Juju Smith Schuster. Of course, Bengals might be without their starting nickel corner b W. Webb, who's actually good at football, one of the rare players on the defensive side, which would leave Darius Phillips. Phillips and or Tony mccread a cover the slot. They are scrubs, needless to say, so, easy A for Juju. Colt Beasley caught eight balls out of the slot last week, so

keep that in mind. For Juju and James Washington Deonte Johnson, I'll give them both the sea. The Bengals boundary corners are struggling big time outside of Buffalo's white outs. William Jackson and Drake Kirkpatrick have allowed three touchdowns to white I was already Deonte has out target Washington over the last two weeks, so I would lean his way if I had to pick one. But they're both dart throws with the C grade as his vance McDonald if he plays,

he's questionable with the shoulder injury. Mike Tomlin says he's optimistic he'll play dead. They traded for Nick Vannett, so let's put it this way, it's a good matchup. He gets to see if he plays since he has allowed fifty plus yards to at least the last two tight ends they faced. One was rookie Dawson Knox, who actually scored a touchdown for Buffalo. But if you're banking on McDonald, this is a Monday night game. By the way, No,

we don't leave it to Monday's night problem. I don't know if I mentioned that yet, So you better add Nick Vannette. If you're banking on Vans McDonald, you've gotta be able to pivot without dropping without dropping McDonald, which is a problem. And then, uh, you know I liked uh including Juju of course. Uh so I give Mason Rudolph a see. I like a lot of the Pittsburgh receiver looks so bad last year man a lot of But but Juju bail him out right and catch I

know Juju go to bail himount twice in this game. Juice, have a monster game. I hope you're right. He's a he's a cheap DFS option on fanball and maybe a QB two. Yeah Rudolph in super FLEXI leagues, but yeah, he's really on the bench and standard Cleveland takes on Baltimore. Let's start on the Cleveland side where Nick Chubb gets a B grade against a tough Baltimore defense. He's averaging twenty four carries and targets together, which is good. No

lack of volume here for Nick Chubb. But that's about the only good news I've got for you. The Ravens held David Johnson to fourteen yards earlier this year. Last week, Darryl Williams and Shawn McCoy were able to get a lot done. They put up a hundred ninety total yards between them. But the Chiefs are just such an outlier offense it's hard to draw any comparisons to the Chiefs and then the Browns, so I don't know that even matters here. Only one back it's top one hundred yards

against Baltimore in their last twenty seven games. One yard rusher against Baltimore. Wow, that's it. Chubb ran for twenty yards against Baltimore last year as the brown starter, So we'll we'll put some up twenty and one hundred yards in this one, and to be greater, we're really hoping

on a for a touchdown for Nick Chubb. Uh into the passing game where I've only got a couple of starters for you, Baker Mayfield with just a Sea grade, he's got to be Fantasy Football's most disappointing quarterback right Nobody else has better, Nobody has been more disappointed that Cleveland offense was. On my part, I thought, well, and you and everybody else, Scott Um. Tough matchup on the

road in Baltimore. Yes, Patrick Mahomes humbled the Ravens last week, but that's Patrick Mahomes and you know you can't compare him to anybody else. Prior to the Chiefs game, the Ravens had allowed zero or one passing touchdown in seven of the previous nine games. I think you're likely looking at a one touchdown effort for Mayfield here, and then it'll be great for Odell Beckham, who's getting tons of targets thirty already. But get this, thirty targets nineteen receptions

for Odell Beckham. That's it that stinks, and it's some of that's I think most of that is on Baker Mayfield just misfiring, which is crazy because he's such an accurate quarter history right now. Um, worrying Lee? Is that a word? Worrying Lee? Worrying Odell Backham has garnered one red zone target this year one. He's been targeted thirty times, only once in the red zone. Come on, Odell runs from the outside where cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey and Anthony Averett Waite.

Cleveland be wise to put Odell opposite Averett, who's yielded ninety yards per game, that's fourth most among all cornerbacks. And ever it's given up two scores already. That is a winnable matchup for Odell, so he is a b start. Jarvis Landry's on the bench. Two career touchdowns with Baker Mayfield at the helm. That's it for Jarvis Landry and he somehow turned twenty three targets into just ten catches this year. Tough matchup against a good slock corner Brandon Carr,

Jarvis Landry, you're on the bench. I dropped him in the league. I don't blame you. Qualms. That was like a couple of weeks ago, and I'm sure people like, oh, Jarvis Landry, you sabotage dropped Jarvis Landry, other others picked him up, probably started him in the getting nothing. Now listen, all y'all, let's go to the Baltimore side. Mark Ingram has been great and in two meetings with Cleveland last year,

the combined Ravens running backs two meetings. Let me, I'm gonna slow this down to make sure people get it. Two meetings with Cleveland last year, the combined Ravens running backs three hundred forty rushing yards. I'm struggling to remember who they were, just running the guinea big shaver? Three? Is that your is in there too? Did shave my guinea pig? Here comes Ingram with his six yards per carry almost two touchdowns per game, no brainer, A grade

for him. Lamar Jackson also in a grade. He faced Cleveland once last year and ran for ninety yards and two touchdowns. Brown secondaries a wreck with injury. You're gonna want to watch the status of Greedy Williams, Morgan Burnett, Denzil Award. They're all shaping up his game. Time Decisions paid special attention to Greedy Williams and Denzil Award, the fastest set of outside corners in probably the entire league. If those guys do play, they can use their speed

to neutralize Marquis Brown and Miles Boykin. And if they don't go, I really like Marquis Brown and Miles Boykin. So let's talk about those guys. So for Markis Brown again, Greedy Williams Denzil a Ward if they're in. If they're in the game, I got Marquis Brown at more like a C level. If they're out of this game, then I like Markus Brown at an A level against backup cornerbacks. Um. And then also if they're out, Miles Boyken as a dart throw makes sense. Mark Andrews still not practicing with

the foot injury, but should play here. He did say today that he was very yeah um and the only good tight end to face the Brown so far this year. Delaney Walker rocked him for two scores. Last thing, I'll mention, you need a deep sleeper running back Gus Edwards getting twenty two snaps and ten touches a game, and that by might be enough to make Edwards a potential sleeper against the Brown's team that they just ran through last year. People need warm bodies at running back more than every

two now more than ever. J j I just said, just announced all thirty two teams. He's ready to come back. So what does that even mean? Announced to thirty two teams? I tweeted an hour ago. Does that an announcement to thirty two teams? It was? It was? I'm sure as they didn't contacted them in the Giants will be in touch show probably retweeted his own tweets saying that has no likes on it. J I, by the way, stinks. He wasn't good before all the knee problems. I went

to bad for him. Fish certainly went to bed him. But yeah, we're done, right, I mean, yeah, alright, let's let's just the best case scenario for j GI. He ends up with the Giants and I'm still not very interested. Everything charge is available at fanball dot com.

Nine players who would not normally start, but guys you can start this week. You're listening to Fantasy Football Weekly Fantasy Football Weekly Returns courtesy of I Heart Radio. I am Paul Charchi and my Twitter account is at Paul Charchi in which makes sense. Brian Johnson is at b t x J. Scott Fish is at Scott Fish twenty four. These are

nine players not normally in your starting lineup. We call it take a chance on me. Many of these guys available on the waiver wire, and it is a as always, a very very royalty free version of take a chance on me. When these guys pay out, you don't have to pay us anything. You can keep all the money in the royalty free version of take a chance on me. We begin at the quarterback position. Brian, who you got? I can sort of taste a little bit of vomit

coming up, but I'm still taking Marcus Mariota at Atlanta. Wow, the Falcons just suffered another huge loss to their defense. Safety Kianu Neil tore his achilles for the second straight season, sadly for him, and when he went down last year, they got consistently shredded by anybody, especially when he went down with the injury. The look on his face was a look of recognition. I'm looking at him, going, he's had this before, he knows exactly what this is. Yeah,

I felt bad for him. They say it's like a drape getting pulled up or something. I don't wanna think about it, but anyway, that the trend started already. Jacoby Brissette went for three ten and two after Neil went down. Um. The Falcons have also allowed two rushing touchdowns with quarterbacks

so far at the season. Mariota is third in rushing yards among quarterbacks so far average six point four yards per carry, and despite a couple of down weeks, I think three total yards and two total touchdowns is safe FLOORA not the highest second over under of the week. Wow, Yeah, all right, let's go. I'd be even more impressed. You who told people to go with Corey Davis remember when he was a thing. All right, let's go with your quarterback, Scott. I am going with Washington QB tv D TBD. It

sounds like keenum Is is back and ready to go. There. They're saying he's going to get the start. Uh, so I'm letting him back up as my take a chance on me. The Giants allowing three fifty yards passing and three touchdowns per game to opposing quarterbacks. As bad as Keenum has looked, he's still racked up multiple touchdowns in every game in three and thirty or more yards and two of those and uh, this isn't a ball hockey defense. You worry about those turnovers with keenom Uh they only

intercepted Jamis Winston once. Which is which is? That's not ball hockeying at all. Now, worry on Keenum is what happens first drive or second drive? He throws a pick? That might be it. That's your work. I mean your upside is it's a Giant's defensive easily give up, you know, four D and four downside His kingdom doesn't even finish the game. I think he's going to be fined in this way. And it sounds like Colt McCoy is ready

to go. Now, I love how about that? Um? The aforementioned Jacoby Brissettes might take a chance on me quarterback as he goes up against Oakland, coming up the best game of his career. Last week, and that momentum should carry forward against a wobbly Oakin's Oakland secondary even without t Y. Hilton probably does not play in this one. I don't care. The Raiders are allowing a completion percentage of that's eighth worse, and PRISCT has top seventy twice

in three games. Even without Hilton. Give me Paris Campbell. I'll go to war with Paris Campbell, Chester Rogers and Zach Pascal as the Colts starting wide outs. If I have to against Oakland that bad, Let's go to the running back position. Brian, who you got? I got old, yeller? T J. Yelden of Buffalo actually pretty young. He's only twenty five years old. But they're they're at home against New England. So get this. Buffalo is three and oh at home, seven point underdogs, of course, but it's for

the Patriots. It should not be seven points that people. We'll talk more about that matchup. They're they're playing a lot of points. But t J got uh. We're assuming Devin's singletary is out, by the way. We'll talk more about this game, but he is likely to not come back this week. Even well, we'll talk about it. We'll talk about it more in the matchup anyway, but even

if he does come back, it's a tough matchup. This is a game script for for yelling without a doubt, and it's been that way for Buffalo Backs against New England for years. Last year, Buffalo Backs total thirteen catches across two games, and uh, with the Patriots likely to focus on stopping Allen's legs and John Brown speed, five to six catches for Yelden should be a lot. He had eight carries last week. Two catches. Um, I'm seeing ten to twelve touches in PPR leagues. I'm playing him. Okay,

sounds good, you're running back, Scott. I'm going with Adrian Peterson. He just got done facing three top ten defenses in the Bears, Eagles, and Cowboys. Now he gets the Giants defense that is bottom six, and they've allowed twenty six Russia attempts, not touches Russia attempts per game and twenty seven I believe in the three games. And they're starting

middle linebacker alic Ogle Tree out for this one. So I think this is lining up for an actual Adrian Peterson decent game that you probably won't use it much for the rest of the season. But here's the week for us? Is it? If not now, when for Adrian Peterson. Seriously, why if you're not starting him here? Why is he on your rob bottom six D rush D without their middle linebacker. I was team Peyton Barber, um, and I

still kind of am team Peyton Barber. But I'm not so stubborn that I won't acknowledge that Jones has got just more work, more yards, more attempts, and mostly looked better than Peyton Barber. It hurts um. Now there's a little bit of caution here. Jones had who quality outings. He's still only play like of the offensive snaps in the games in which the two games in which Jones

got a bunch of carries. But I like the game script here against the Rams, and the Rams are an eleaite past defense, but they have allowed at least one hundred rushing yards and or a touchdown to running back in nine of the last twelve games. Obviously, going back to last year, Jones got those two quality starts already. This year, I'm gonna try him for one more and now watch it's going to be the paper Peyton Barber show of course, but I'll we'll try Ronald Jones in

this one. Unbowally pretty close, Gombo knows. All right, let's go to the running sorry receiver wide receiver position. Well, you said it's funny I didn't take Corey Davis. Um, I am going to take a Titan receiver. But it's not Davis Brown. It's Adam Humphreys actually, one of my sleepers from the pre season two. By the way, very start, yeah, very slow start last week. Brag about that six catches on nine targets looked pretty good, and he's gonna look

good this week against Atlanta. And it's just it's all about how this matchup lays out on paper. Here the opposing slot receivers against the Falcons so far this year, Adam Theeland three catches forty three yards in a touchdown on just three targets. Remember the Vikings through the ball ten times in that game. Uh, next week, Nelson Aglar

eight for one oh seven in a touchdown. All right on ten targetsop missing to missing like every other receiver, but still okay, Well, the Titans are missing receivers too. They have Corey Davis and A. J. Brown on the outside, so I have been last week fairly stated. Okay, last week t Y Hilton and Zach Pascal both scored from the slot, and overall, Colts receivers were eight for eight for fifty nine yards and those two touchdowns. So Adam Humphreys all day, All right, Scott, what was he to

take a chance for me? Receiver? I'm going with Will dis Lee. This feels like cheating almost, because the Arizona Cardinals are just terrible against tight ends. T J. Hockenson six for in his touchdown, Mark Andrews eight for one, twelve in a touchdown, Greg Olson six for seventy five and two touchdowns. Hayden Hurst also scored. The Arizona Cardinals are allowing most twice as many PPR Fantasy points as the second worst team against tight ends. That's unbelievable, insane,

how bad they are. I've got Marvin Jones going up against the Chiefs. It's taken a while from Marvin Jones get comfortable coming off of last year's knee injury, but it looks like he's back on track and he's led the team in targets, yards and air yards. Last week. Juicy matchup with the Chiefs and they're prettily lousy. Secondary, he goes up against or and or Chart various Ward on the outside and both guys are slow. Now, Marvin Jones is not like track Star speed fast, but his

whole deal has been downfield separation. That's the definition of his career. He can get it here. He only needs one long reception. The lines will be playing from behind, and Detroit's gonna be passing regularly. Kansas City seeing the eighth most passes in the league. Marvin Jones, it was here, take a chance to me guy last week? Or do you just like him last week? Brian I wasn't on the show. It was somebody else I was thinking member of years ago. John Twovey used to be on the show.

That's four touchdowns listening back in those days. That was the all time great take a chance on the hit of all of the twenty five year history of the show was the four touchdown game Jones had. Yeah with the Bengals. Of course back in the day, Uh was it? Uh take Chargers taking on the Miami Dolphins. Scott for the Chargers. It's a lot of shifting stands here because we have so many players that are out Hunter Henry's out, Mike Williams is out, Travis Benjamin is out, and Justin

Jackson is out. Yeah, it's it's pretty crazy, but whatever is left in there get in your lineups. The Dolphins are thirty first against quarterbacks, against wide receivers ninth, most passing yards allowed, the most touchdowns allowed to quarterbacks four per game, which is unreal. Second, most wide receiver touchdowns

allow allowed. Oh, and the running game, most rushing attempts, most rushing yards, second, most rushing touchdowns, the most receiving touchdowns to running backs, the most total yards allowed to running backs. They're bad everywhere. Should be a top five back without even trying this week with Justin Jackson, I

think I think they're going to try a lot. Actually, so imagine you're the Chargers and you don't have You've got Justin Jackson out, Melvin Gordon just joined the team, and you know that Gordon is going to get a fair amount of work going forward. We'll talk more about in detail this minute. Why not just run for the whole game. It's not even Rich Rivers, who doesn't have an even starting receivers other than Keen exactly. I do think you still give Keenan Allen in a grade here.

He got fifteen targets last week with Hunter Henry out, so I think that, uh, I think that he's still in a play. But it's all it's all Alan. There are sneaky people trying to get Sean Culkin at tight end because yeah, Troy, Yeah, Troymaine Pope, former Seahawk. I believe, uh, he'll be backing up. Those are sneaky plays. It's probably it's probably too cute, but a grades on the players that you would play from the Chargers on the Miami side.

Preston Williams, I'm giving a C grade. I kind of want to give him a B grade, with Casey Hayward possibly out as well. Uh, Preston Williams has twelve targets in every single game he's played with Josh Rosen. How about that? All of them? But he's fourth in the NFL and red zone targets and he's had double digit Fantasy points every single week in PPR. Last look, I've got, I got started Williams in a bunch of leagues. Get

him do it here. That's it. You've probably heard us talking about the Guillotine League, the hottest new format and fantasy sports. Each week, the low scoring team gets cut from the league and their entire roster goes to the waiver wire and all the remaining teams get to bid on those guys. It's awesome fun, and we're still creating Guillotine leagues. You can join one or learn more by going to Guillotine League dot com powered by fanball dot Com.

Coming up next on Fantasy Football Weekly, we will break down more matchups for you, include uting New England at Buffalo, a tricky matchup for many of your patriots. You don't want to set your lineup until you listen to what comes next. You are listening to Fantasy Football Weekly and I Heart Radio production i impul Charchie and my co hosts are Scott Fish and Brian Johnson from fanball dot Com.

You can hear us over the year on many stations are on the country, maybe even right now, and this show is also a podcast available every Friday on all major podcasting platforms, including the number one destination for podcasts, the I Heart Radio app. Um. You normally start all your all your patriots in pretty much every game, but this one it feels like a trap to me at Buffalo. Buffalo is a damn fine past defense in particular. Tell me who you think about the passing game for for

New England, Tom Brady, Edelman, Gordon, those guys. All right, let's just start with Brady and I'll he's getting to see and he's borderline benchable. I'd be looking. Also, I think I like all of our take coom quarterbacks more than Brady this week. Um, in his last four games against Buffalo, three touchdowns, four picks, two by the way, and that secondary is probably better than it's been in

those previous four games. And um, Buffalo was held each opposing quarterback you just one passing touchdown this season, that said, those were Sam Donald, Eli Manning and Andy Dalton. But still over their last eighteen games, only one quarterback has had a top ten finish against the Bills, going back to last year, of course, and that was some guy named Andrew Luck. You remember him, not even in the league anyway, he used to play. Two touchdowns is the

absolute ceiling for Brady. And because it's seventeen of the last nineteen quarterbacks to face the Bills zero or one touchdown, So I'll give him a see because it's Tom Brady, but again look elsewhere if if you can, I would not fault you at all. Um to speak to his receiver's real quick. Julian Edelman was knocked out a last week's game with a chest injury. Returned to practice in a limited fashion this week. You always got to expect

the Patriots to play. It seems like none of them are rarely ever scratched, So I'll give him a be assuming he goes. He has scored or top two hundred yards in three straight against Buffalo, and UH slot receivers versus the Bills this year have fared pretty well. Jameson Crowder at four team catches for nine yards, t J. Jones of the Giants scored a touchdown, and Tyler Boyd was serviceable with six for sixty seven last week. That's

the week. Part of the Bills secondary is the slot, and I like Edelman better than any of the other receivers, the strongest part of their secondary, possibly the strongest best cornerback in the league. And yes, Jalen Ramsey, that does include you. Is tradeabus White, who will be shadowing Josh Gordon all game long. Likely so Gordon, when on his game, is nearly impossible to cover. So I'll give him a see, but temper your expectations because your Davious White shuts people

down and he'll be all over Gordon all game. And Philip Dorset has caught five of Tom Brady's last nine touchdown passes going back to last year's playoffs. But this is a bench game for him. But he's a guy who should be on roster. If he's out there on your waiver wire, I would go grab him immediately. Uh Now, let's talk about the running backs. Unfortunately, we'll start with the charges boy, Sony what have you dubbed Sony Michelle Church, Sony walkman? When you average one yard per carry, you

are walking man. Well, he's walking the line of scrimmage against anyone, against anyone not donning a Dolphins uniform. He's averaging one yard per carry. Yeah, well but in two out of three games one yard per carry. Come on, Sony walkman. So he's on the bench. He's on the bench.

Buffalo is a loud one rushing touchdown running backs this year and that went to se Kwon Barkley when he was healthy, obviously, and Buffalo held Levyon Bell and Jill mix it under a combined three point eight yards per carry, and you basically need a goal line plunging for Michelle and I'm just not banking on that this week against Buffalo. Uh. Then, over the running backs James White and Rex Burkhead, I'll give them both a C and PPR. Burkhead, I'll give

him a SCENE standard too. He looks like the best running back on the team. Uh. The Patriots lost fullback James Devlin for the season, and they don't really have a backup from what I've heard, so they're just not gonna roll with a fullback anymore. So that'll open up more opportunities for White and Birkhead. Uh. Buffalo is allowed to receiving touchdowns so far at running backs, and again, Burkehead looks better than White, so I would start him

over White in this game. Over to the Buffalo side, not nearly as much to talk about here, so I'm getting my notes in order. Uh. Uh. Well, Devin Singletary, as we mentioned he won't play, were very unlikely to play. Um that gives the puts Frank Gore at a C grade if he If Singletary sits, The Patriots have allowed rushing arts running backs all year. Actually, that's really bad. That's including guys. James Lee changed my mi ben Yeah please,

I'm benching gored. And that's why t J. Yelden was might take a chance on me running back through the air. Through the air in PPR leagues and standard you're not gonna go there with Yelden only in PPR. And then John Brown is on the bench. Stephan Gilmour maybe the best quarterback in the league as well. We'll be shadowing Brown, so he's on the bench, and I'll give Josh Allen to see just because um, the Patriots have allowed nearly seven yards per carried running backs last year, which is

a league high. And there are I don't know, Allen's the mobile quarterbacks. I'm gonna give him a seven though he hasn't done much against New England. It's only been one game and he hasn't played two Minnesota takes on the Bears. It's the league's number one rushing offense against arguably the league's the best rushing defense. Something's got to give. In the two Bears games last year with the Vikings, Dalvin Cook fifty one total yards that's it, including twelve

yards at Soldier Field last year. But this is a whole different Vikings offense that is dedicated to the run. But doesn't matter when only one runner has topped fifty five rushing yards at Soldier Field in two years, think about that. Fifty five is not even a high water mark. I mean, that's that's nothing. And only one runners top fifty five and two years at Soldier Field, they have allowed two rushing touchdowns in the last thirteen home games.

It's a brutal matchup for Dalvin Cook. I give him a b out of respect for how the Vikings are using him and the sheer volume I expect him to have in this game. Kirk Cousins is on the bench. Minnesota has the NFL's lowest volume passing game by a mile, just twenty one passes per game. The next closest is twenty eight. But the Bears see the third most pass has been parks. They're so hard to run on, so

maybe volume won't be the problem here. What might be the problem is that the Bears have the number one pass rush by Pro Football Focus and the Vikings have the thirty first ranked pass block by Pro Football Focus. That's not good. There will not be a lot of long passes for a Kirk to set up here because he's not gonna have time for them. It's gonna be a lot of short stuff and that usually does not help fantasy owners very much. Stefan Diggs just to see grade.

He runs seventy seven percent of his snaps on the outside, so that gives him the toughest matchups on the field. Prince of Mukamara and especially Kyle Fuller was really good. Diggs has been very lightly targeted and as a one catch game, a two catch game, and a three catch game so far this year, and that's it. Um. Even with an uptick and targets, it might not matter considering Kyle Fuller is going to be on him for a

lot of this one. Adam theland works the slot and if the Vikings have any sense, they're gonna they're gonna run a buster screen in the slot, especially with Chad beebe normally their normal slot receiver out. I really I like feeling, and they should use feeling copiously here. I've got to be grade on him because he's got Like I said, he draws the easiest matchup there is on the field against the Bears buster screen. Kyle Rodolph is on the bench. He'll continue to stay in block because

I think he's gonna have to hear. The Chicago Bears have got awesome ed rusher, and I think that's going to force Rudolph to stay back at the line of scrimmage for most of this game. On the Bear side, I've only got two starters for you. We start with David Montgomery. Now, there is some good news here for Montgomery. Owners. He got thirteen of Chicago's eighteen running back carries last week, so he's he's starting to get the majority of the work.

His yards per carrys increase in every game, and he ran for five yards per carry last week against a terrible Washington defense. The Vikings are normally an elite level run defense, but this year they've been softer. Aaron Jones put up a good game two weeks ago. They're giving up four and a half yards per carry and that's just middle of the NFL. So David Montgomery could get a little something done. He's got a C grade here, as does Alan Robinson, averaging nine targets per game, so

the volume is there. Unfortunately, it'smitched true Bisk Trabisky dealing those that volume. But nevertheless, hopefully get a little something done here. Robinson has struggled in this divisional matchup in the past, just two catches and twenty eight yards and the two meetings last year. He'll get a lot of Xavier roads. But maybe through just volume, Allen Robins can get a little something done here. C grade on him.

I've got Drabinsky on the bench. You know, he's an easily flustered quarterback going up against the Mike Zimmer defense. Bad things are gonna happen here. And he only put up a hundred sixty five yards and a hundred sixty three yards against Minnesota last year, just one passing touchdown between the two matchups. Taylor Gabriel's hurt, don't chase his his touchdowns from last week, and he draws Trey Waynes and his speed versus speed matchup if he does play.

And then Tariko and Vikings about one running back touchdown in the last eleven games. Only one has top thirty four yards in their last eleven games. Bad matchup for Tarik Cohen as well. We're not gonna We're not gonna try rolling the dice on that one. I've seen cohing on some waiver wires already. I don't I don't blame him. He runs you for nothing, he gets you nothing on the ground, and then you just gotta hope that you get something, you know, work, that you can work with

through the air. Final matchup of the segment Scott Washington taking on the Giants, two of the worst d offences in the NFL facing each other here right the case. Keenom was one of my take a chance on me players, and so is Adrian Peterson. So let's stay left. Yeah, exactly. At the run game, I don't think we have Chris Thompson left. He's on the bench under ten Ton touches a game and I said, I think it's a Peterson game. Uh. In the passing game, it sounds like Terry McLaren is

gonna go. He did not pack to practice Friday. Reports are it was precautionary. If he does go, I like him in this one. Obviously. It's a great matchup. He has touchdowns in three straight, sixty two or more yards in three straight. Five catches are more in three straight. The only team worse than Washington against wide receiver is the Giants, who he's playing against. So what do you think about like the depth receiver is Paul rich Does Tray Quinn interest you in this one? This? This is

my what if scenarios. I have Richardson with a C. He's scored in two straight uh. Second, the team and reception snaps, et cetera. I have him with a C grade. If McLaren doesn't go. Uh. If McClaren does go, If he doesn't go, I'm starting both Richardson and Quinn. Quinn will be against Grant Haley, who's allowing seventy seven percent of his of his passes that direction to be caught and four touchdowns are allowed already in three games. Unbelievable.

That's a good matchup, most from Trey Quinn. Most quarterbacks a cornerbacks in the NFL give up four touchdowns all year. Yeah, Grant Haley's given up four in three games. Yep, exactly. Uh. Quinn's second targets h third in reception. I mean he's startable. If McLaren doesn't go, I'd be a little more hesitantive if McLaren does go. On the other side. On the other side, there we got Daniel Jones, Danny Dimes. I

think he's very startable. Again here a grade. He was almost my take home last week, but he wasn't in my matchup, so I didn't do him. Maybe actually I think Matt did last week. Daniel Jones A grade here. It's it's already a great matchup. The Washington's allowed three straight quarterbacks to throw three touchdown passes or more, and two of those top three hundred yards Dac even at sixty nine yards rushing against them, and Danny can and

he can run Shepherd. I like sterling Shepherds and as an A grade here to Washington's already allowed eight wide receiver touchdowns in three weeks UM. He's had at least six receptions and at least seven targets in each of the two games played snaps in both last week his only week with Daniel Jones hundred yards and a touchdown UM. And he's gonna be matched up against a seventh round rookie Jimmy Morland, who has allowed eleven of the twelve passes his way to be completed. So that's a good

matchup there for Sterling Shepherd UH. Evan Ingram A grade uh. Washington has been stingy against tight ends over the last year and a half or so. But the two tight ends that have actually performed against them, Evan Ingram and zach Ertz. Yes. So, based on what Evan Ingram has done this year so far, averaging ten targets game, eight catches a game, what he did last week with Danny Dimes, I'm still giving him an A grade. I have a C grade on Gallman just on volume. I don't think

he's very good. He hasn't been very good mobile quarterbacks can open it up a little bit for running backs. I'm only giving him a secret because he might get touches sell at all costs if he has a good game. Anyone, this might be one with the slight hint of being a sucker in your league, So go into them. Yeah, I think you're I think you're onto something with that. Um. The Thursday night game, Jordan's Howard with the big three touchdown explosion and honestly look pretty good for a lot

of that game. And Sanders looked pretty good too. Um, but do you think that this is a sell high moment for Jordan's Howard or you're just happy you got him? Oh? I'd so high, absolutely so high, sell high in this one. Yeah. Yeah, if he's obviously not gonna get three, probably get three in a game all year. You you you seek out the Miles Sanders owner because he's panicking right now. Yeah, that's your best chance to sell. Howard High is finding

the Sander's owner who's freaking out. I like that angle. And that's the kind of questions we've got coming up next. When we answer three tough questions, you can play along. Try to go a perfect three and oh against our panel of experts. Can you go three and oh? Fantasy Football Weekly returns you. It is Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm Paul charch In fanball dot com, Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with me. Boys. It's time to get into the

grinder with three tough questions listeners. You can play along see if you can go three and oh. I'll dole out the questions they'll try to answer. I'll give the correct answers, beginning with tough question number one. Carry On. Johnson is getting plenty of use, but not necessarily a lot of results going forward. Is he an RB one and r B two flex or bench player? Brian? Uh? Well,

let's just talk about carry on. He is currently around RB twenty four most formats, which puts him in flex territory, but the usage suggests otherwise. He's ninth and carries among all running backs, which is very encouraging. He also leads Detroit running backs and catches and receiving yards. He also scored or receiving touchdown. The team recently cuts C. J. Anderson, he's long gone. Ty Johnson will factor in on third down and spell him every now and again. But we

all know Darryl Bevil loves a pound the rock. You've preached that all summer charts, and Detroit is hovering around thirty rush attempts per game and nine and a half twenty nine and a half, and they do have some plus matchups coming up. Shootout on the Horizon with the Chiefs of this week, they get Green Bay, uh next week. Jordan Howard just blomped a hat trick on the on the Paths. Then the Vikings that's a tough matchup, of course,

and then the Giants in Oakland. So right there, that's like a good enough stretch to finish as a flex player and not play any more games for the rest of the year. Of course, there'll be Chicago sprinkled in twice and the Vikings again. But long story short, the usage should stay consistent if he stays healthy. I'm going RB two. Okay, I'm also going RB two. His snaps went from the mid fifties until this release of c J Anderson, when it went up to seventy percent of

the snaps played. He also had six team point five touches per game without c J. Twenty one. Last week he didn't do a lot of with it, but it was against a very good Eagles run defense who haven't allowed a runner over forty five rushing yards this season. If the twenty touch thing continues, he's easily going to be an RB two. So RB two is your answers, all right? You guys hit on some of the salient points,

but not all of them. Did You always faced more eight man boxes than any runner, And I think he's been as much as anything, the victim of the schedule. All four of the Lions opponents, including this week, the Chiefs are particularly weak against the asked. I mean, the way you beat all four of the opponents they've had is you throw the ball on them first and foremost. And so I think of time, we're gonna see the game plans swing more his way with better opportunities for

the running game. Keep in mind Carrie and Johnson average five yards per carry is a rookie. He's a good runner who just hasn't had breaks with the schedule, the game mix, the way things have gone so far, and with c J. Anderson out of the mix. To Brian's point earlier, and these incredibly easy matchups, he's going to get an A grade almost every week for the next six weeks. It's gonna be an RB one level starting status for Carrie on Johnson, keeping the faith, Keeping the faith.

Tough question number two, Sony Walkman Michelle averaging one yard per carry in two of his three games going forward. Is Walkman and RB one and r B two a flex or a bench player? Scott, This might be a little contraining, but I might be going all the way to bench. I hate doing the New England backfield thing anyway, but this performance has been just bad. I know that on Friday Bill Belichick gave him like a little vote of confidence and spoke nicely about him. He's doing what

we asked him to, etcetera. But even with Devlin on I R and Burkehead questionable, uh Burkehead and James wed are both just better at both ends of the game right now. And they did draft Damien Harris, who hasn't gotten an opportunity yet. I don't want to predict this offense at all, and I think that fantasy wise, it's going to be very split going forward. He he's going to be tough to figure out. I think he's a bench player, all right, She's Scott Sony Walkman. Michelle's a

bench how about you you? We call him Benjaman I guess because I got him on the bench too. And you're like, well, we still play Miami one more time, right, Yeah, you will in week seventeen. Sorry, you don't even get that game, Sony owners. I don't have much else to add other than New England already has a two devastating blows to their offensive line. They're starting center and right tackle, I believe already on I R And uh, you know,

it's just always been a muddled mess. I mean, Brandon Bolding is still actually a thing in New England to you just can never I believe so getting special teams Ace, I know that's his bit, but and uh, I mean Rex Burkehead just looks better and the only thing that might be going in Michelle's favor is Burkehead has only played eighteen games over the last two seasons, hasn't proved to be entirely durable. But no one's rooting for injury there. But no, he's not the best running back on the team.

So he's just a bench player. Don't even worry about him every week. You don't want to put yourself through that. Just put on the bench, you'll be fine. Um. So, his lack of productivity for Sony Walkman Michelle has been masked. Fantasy productivity has been masked, I think, and the NFL productive has been masked by the two touchdowns for fantasy owners, right, so the two touchdowns give you this false sense that

Michelle's okay. Clearly he's not. Um. In fact, without those two touchdowns, I ran some I ran some estimates about where his scoring would be minus the two touches. In this picture, he'd be a calculator the whole deal. He'd be running back. Yeah, it's pretty bad, it's really bad. Look, he just doesn't pass the eye test, Sony Michelle slow, he's tentative the offensive lines of wreck. As you guys mentioned, you know, fortunately he's bailed out by those awesome pass

catching ability. Oh he doesn't. He doesn't catch any passes either. Harris is better. This is where I was ready to give him the bench grade. But then there's the schedule. The after Buffalo this week you get Washington and the Giants. Are you seriously telling me against Washington or the Giants? A guy who gets the vast majority of the carreys, he gets a lot of the goal line stuff and virtually all the goal line carrys is not going to get a starters grade. He is and he there's this,

he doesn't fumble. He's on the field of ton or at least so far, he hasn't been benched yet. Frankly, I would bench him, but I don't think Belichick's ready to yet, and because he's going to have starting grades over the course of the better part of the next month. Sony Walkman Michelle is a flex player. Tough Question number three with Melvin Gordon back. Going forward is Austin Ekeler and RB one and r B two a flex or bench. You may have noticed a theme riding through this particular

edition of Three Tough Questions. Brian is Austin Ekeler and RB one r B two flex or bench. This is a very tough question, UM, real quick Equitler snaps have gone down as the season is started, by the way seventy three to sixty five. That was already discouraging before the Melvin Gordon news that he's coming back. So Gordon's coming back, as we all know, not this week or it could be this week, but more about this game.

But it will be a very limited role, of course, but you'd have to assume it's gonna be two to three weeks before Gordon gets up to full speed, if ever, I mean missing training camp is not an ideal scenario for any any football player. UM. After this week against Miami, Equita could put up enough points to a finishes of flex without playing any more games too. But uh, let's just look at last year in the games Gordon and

Ekela were both active. Gordon was about seventy the snap share Ekeler was, and Ekeler was he was a flex play a lot of weeks back then. The Chargers had Tyrell Williams, they had Antonio Gates, the didn't have Hunter Henry Um. But they're just short on playmakers, way more short than they were last year. So I think Ekeler will find its way on the field a lot more with the injuries to wide receiver. Mike Williams is consistently

banged up. So I'm gonna say he maintains flex. He's gonna be RB two for a while, RB one to RB two then too a plateau of flex. So I'm just gonna say flex. Okay, all right, Scott, I also went with flex. Uh. Melvin Gordon has a very extreme history of game injured near the end of the season. Now, maybe maybe the short season, maybe this short season will aid that, or maybe he will not be in quite the same shape and it'll hurt it and he'll get

injured again. But his points already, you're getting him up in that area. I think he's still going to take snaps. But here's my main concern with having Ekeler any higher. I think they run the wheels off Cordon now because they they're not going to keep him later. That's that's my thought process. So I'm hesitant to even say flex. But yeah, you get him for one more RB one week, and then it's gonna be rough going the rest of the season. You, my friend, have cracked the code. You're

exactly right. Gordon is going to be a free agent at the end of this year. Chargers, No, they're not bringing him back. They are gonna run him into the ground. He's going to get the DeMarco Murray treatment. Remember when DeMarco Murray was charging every agency with Dallas. Dallas ran him into the ground and sent him packing. That's what's gonna happen here with Melvin Gordon. Um Austin Ekeler. Look and as as the number one back, he's been great,

but that's not gonna matter here. Melvin Gordon's gonna take over the number one back and then he's gonna be great. I believe that we are going to see Austin Ekeler as no more than a flex play the rest of the year, which is sad for his owners. OPI enjoyed it all lasted. You've got four great games out of Austin Ekeler. You're gonna get one coming this weekend, and after that it's kind of over. At the price you

got him, you're happy. Yeah, I think you're right. He's probably powered you to three and oh or two and one right now because Zekeler was so good just with that alone. So do you go to the owner in your league that's oh and three and they just have to win, and you just say, hey, here's Austin. You the win. It's a great strategy. It is. I'm giving you the win. You need to have a prayer at the playoffs, so give me somebody good. Yeah, try to

sell him before this game. That's it agreed. If we have time at the end of the show, I'm gonna ask you guys about some strategies on Sae Kwon Barkley and what to do with him if you're if you're thinking about trade, if you've got him and you need to get rid of him, or if you were thinking about acquiring him. Brian, let's turn to the Tennessee matchup. You already told us that you kind of like out. You like some elements in the passing game for on the Sea, But I want to shift to Derrick Henry,

who feels like a mortal lock in this game. Yeah he is. I'm gonna I'm gonna give him in a even though he probably should get a b U. He has outtouched Dion Lewis fifty five to fourteen to this point, so he's be clear. Alpha back on roster. He's even he even has more targets than Dion Lewis. Are you serious? Yes, So we're not eve gonna talk about Dion anymore. He's on the bench in this game. Back to Henry, though,

this could be a tough matchup on the ground. Uh. Dalvin Cook shredded the Falcons on the ground, but after that, they held the Eagles and Colts backs to three point one yards per carry over the last two weeks. And you know, the Falcons used to always give up catches and bunches to running backs, but not so far this year. Really, no loan back has topped three receptions and niheim Hinz is the only running back to top fifteen receiving yards with like twenty four, So they're not giving up a

ton through the air. But I'm still giving Henry in a don't Yeah he's he's an a. Yeah, he's an A. The other two workhorse backs that have faced Atlanta, Dalvin Cook Marlon Mack giant games with I think they may have each scored twice or twice. They have three between them, I believe, so I I see another big game comment for Derrick Henry. I like him more than you did. I just get nervous when I I have so much confidence in Derrick Henry every time you think you're gonna

be okay. I have a lot of confidence in Delaney Walker to The Falcons have allowed to combine seventeen tight end receptions over the last two weeks, and again they lost starting safety Kian O'Neill, which boots very well for Delaney Walker is an easy start this week in the tight end late Wasteland probably more like an A but you're starting them either way. You are not starting Corey Davis and A J. Brown. They've combined for thirteen catches

all season long. That's it. That's it, unbelievable, unbelievable. When A J. Brown was a thing in Week one, Yeah, that was one long catch though he had three for a hundred. It was just like one of fluky long catch. The wide receiver you want to start for Tennessee is Adam Humphries, who was might take a chance on me wide receiver, and Marcus Mariotta was MNNA take a chance on me quarterback. Heaven helped me. I'm going Batman and Robin with the Titans, but I like them both in

this matchup. On the past turf over uh Anna. Julio Jones. Easy A has scored in seventh straight and has twelve total touchdowns over his last twelve games going back to last season. I'm not going to justify that start anymore. Calvin Ridley gets a b came down to earth last week, but a great spot for a bounce back game, especially considering dirt. Kedder said Ridley could see the squeaky wheel treatment this week. We always that it was there some

squeaking that I didn't hear about. I guess he was being a little squeaky behind the wheels, or maybe he missed understood the squeaky wheel treatment. He probably maybe he heard the wheels in Ridley's head, but that Ridley was outspoken about it. Really, but the outside corners Malcolm Butler and Dorry Jackson both allowed quarterback rating north of a hundred. They are not that great. Who is pretty good is

Logan Ryan, the slot corner for the Titans. So Mohammed Sanu was on the bench, but Austin Hooper is not. He's basically a top five tight end right now, and the Titans have not fared well against tight ends this year. Uh four catches thirty seven yards and a touchdown to the Browns tight ends five, six and one to the Colts tight ends and three and one to the Jaguars tight ends this week. So touchdowns in every game. Gotta like Hooper, and you gotta like Matt Ryan. With Julio

Ridley and Hooper getting very positive grades. Not gonna go too deep into that one. Yeah, but if we like all of receivers, obviously we like Matt Ryan, yep. But we do not like DeVonta Freeman. So Edo Smith might not play. Uh, I think he's going with the concussion. So let's assume he does. And I'm still giving Freeman the see. After allowing just seven rushing touchdowns to running

backs last year, Tennessee still dominant against the run. Running Backs have just scored once on the ground so far. Marlon Mack had only fifty one yards on twenty carries. Leonard four Nette sixty six yards on fifteen carries. One of those carries one for six exactly. Its negative the rest of the game. You know what, I'm benching DeVonta Freeman. I've changed my mind. I don't care if he does out. He's on the bench. Play t J Yelton every week.

what to do with Darryl Williams, Lashawn McCoy. We'll tell you when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. It is a regular season edition of Fantasy Football Weekly.

slash chart. Let's talk about the first indoor game for Patrick Mahomes since entering the NFL since college. Yeah, his last one he had liked, and probably yeah uh is at Detroit for this one, and Mahomes and Kelsey or auto starts their obvious a's let's drill down on some of the trickier starts in this matchup and it will stay with the passing game. Where Sammy Watkins gets a B he's commanding a massive twenty eight percent target share.

And that's really critical to understand is this passing game still largely goes to Sammy Watkins. And I know he's been mostly disappointing since Week one and you didn't even start him in week one and all probability for many of you. Nevertheless, this is a nice matchup. He runs forty six of his snaps from the slot, and the Lions cornerback Justin Coleman was just eviscerated by two scores by Nelson Agilar and he's yielded three scores on the season.

So I I think this is a very good opportunity for Sammy Watkins to bounce back to something closer what we saw in week one. He is a B grade Mi coole hardman with all that speed on the fast surface indoors against Detroit. I like him. He also runs the majority of his runs from the slot. He can also attack Justin Coleman if he's got Coleman on his side, and so there's another good opportunity for him. He's averaging fifty snaps a game. Kole Hardman, He's on the field

a ton, plenty of opportunities to score. I like him to bring in a long, long touchdown in this game. And then there's de Marcus Robinson. He is a place on the outside, so that means he's going for the sleigh ride this week. It's Darius Slay who's been very good as usual. He's allowing just fifty two of the passes in his coverage to be completed. And the other outside corner Rashaan Melvin's also been really good. So DeMarcus

Robinson just a great here. And honestly, if it were any other offense and any other quarterback, I'd probably tell you to benjam just just a reminder Darius is questionable. So well, we'll watch his staff keep an eye on that, if you have to, Marcus. Now, if Slay doesn't go well, we'll knock mark DeMarcus Robinson up to a B grade. But he's a sea as it stands at the moment. Let's go to the running game, Lashawn McCoy. The Lions giving up one hundred seventy total yards per game to

opposing running backs. They're allowing a score in every game this year. Even the moribund Eagles carouself backs put up a hundred sixty three yards and a score in Detroit. So there's plenty to go around here. Even if Lashawn McCoy is stuck in a time share with Darryl Williams that she probably is, McCoy gets a be so does Darryl Williams for many of the same reasons here, And last week he got more snaps than McCoy, he's healthier than McCoy, he got more carries the McCoy more targets,

more receptions. So darry Williams might even be the better play than McCoy. And if at some point McCoy's uh ankle injury ends up being a bigger problem than who knows, McCoy might hit the bench. So I think I prefer Darryl McCoy, although he give them both bees. Let's go to the Detroit side. We spent a lot of time talking about carry on Johnson a little bit ago. He's getting just two point six yards per carry, which is deflating um and he's top fifty one rushing yards just

once once in the last seven games. But the Chiefs are just mauled by mark Ingram and Gus Edwards for a hundred fifty six yards and three scores. And Kansas City is allowed to touchdown to an opposing runner in twenty two of their last twenty nine games. That's that is what we call a trend. So I think Karrion Johnson finds a way to be productive here and he gets a B grade. Let's go to the passing game.

Matthew Stafford with a B grade. The chief secondary has stymied two straight quarterbacks, which is impressive, but they were facing two very thin sets of receivers in Oakland and Baltimore. Lions have got far better receivers, averaging just thirty two tempts in regulation. Matthew Stafford is volume has been a concern here, but I think that won't be a him against the Chiefs offense because you had got a pass

to keep up with the Chiefs, right. So I like Stafford, I like Holiday, and I like Marvin Jones who was might take a chance on me wide receiver. Let's talk about Kenny Gollady, who also gets a B in this one. He will go up against Chief's corner chart various ward the most and words giving up three inches and twenty pounds to Golliday who's a big dude, and he's giving up a sixty seven percent completion rate through three games.

So I like holiday here at a B level. Then there's t J Hockinson who's frustrated a lot of people. But guys last week touched on, called back and penalty scanned dropped a dropped touchdown pass for t J. Hockenson. Let's not give up on the rookie quite yet. The Chiefs have allowed the most receptions to opposing tight ends, the fourth most yards to opposing tight ends. T J. Hockenson can turn it around here. Chiefs are a bottom half defense and yards per reception allowed to tight ends.

So we're all that together. I think we can go to war with t J. Hockenson one more time. Let's see what happens. So I have will dis Leean Hockinson in a tight two tight end league league with you charge. But Darren Waller, who's obviously auto start. But I've played the wrong guy between and Hawkins and every week. I bet you gotta go Disley this week. But now I'm thinking Hawkinson. Really, I don't charge. Maybe I've seen Waller. No not, I'll talk about I don't think. I don't

think you can. All right, let's go back to the matchup, Seattle taking on Arizona. Scott, do you want to start with Will Disley? Uh? Wait, since we're talking tight ends and we're talking Will Disley, we never start a match up with Disley talk no tight end? No, but do it. Here's my take a chance on me player. Arizona is terrible, terrible against tight ends. The Giants that gave up a touchdown every week two years ago, they just transferred it

to Arizona for this year apparently. Uh. In that passing game, though, Arizona is terrible against the past in general. Right now with Patrick Peterson and Robert Alford still both out. Uh So I'm giving Wilson an a grade here that the Seahawks are normally very run heavy, but they're passing a lot more. Wilson's on pace for five passestempts this year at this point. He had fifty last week average in over three yards per game. The Cards allowing the third

most passing yards, second most passing touchdowns. Gave Kyle Allen a career game, so I'm loving the passing game. Tyler Lockett a grade as well. He had never had double digit targets in his in his career before this year. He's had double digit receptions in two strange He's my number one ranked wide receiver this week. I don't blame you. I don't blame you. Dk Metkiff seems to find find his way to a big play every week. I think this is a matchup it happens again. BE grade for him. Carson,

I'm giving a C grade. I think Penny's gonna be out again. He only saw fifteen touches last week. With Penny out, I think that's probably about what he'll see this week because I think it's gonna be more of an aerial game. On the Arizona side. Kyler Murray, I am giving and a grade to be grade, Okay, I just wanted to see your face if I gave That's why I pause. I'm giving him a B grade. B grade to the Seahawks have allowed multiple touchdown passes every game.

Every week this year um significantly fewer yards, though, and part of that is because they had faced Mason Rodolphin Teddy Bridgewater. Kyler Murray averages fifteen more attempts per game than those two combined for against the Seahawks. So he's gonna pass it. He passes over forty times a game. He's gonna get something. Then leading pastor by attempts. Oh, I wouldn't doubt it. I wouldn't doubt it. They're they're leading in plays per game by like ten or something.

It's crazy. Uh, Dalton had a bunch of garbage time. I think Murray can get that here. Uh, Fitzgerald and Kirk. I'm giving Fitzgerald and a grade and Kirk a B grade. Here's why they picked up Jamar Taylor after we two. He's gonna get Fitzpatrick Fitzgerald. There's the Seattle's two starting safeties are likely out as well, so that do and when the Cardinals go four wide, they're really going to spread Seattle thin in the secondary. I think they all

the time, all the time. They're two leading receivers, fitz receiver exactly. So. So with Kyler Murray having sixty of his targets go to the slot. I like both of them. A and B grade there, d J David Johnson B grade here sales allowing fewer than sixty yards rushing per game too, and they faced Mixing and Connor and Camara some some good good backs, but Martin Kamara were able to add six plus receptions each and and some good

games there. I think David Johnson might get that there, even though Murray hasn't been passing to him a whole lot. I think that he might get that passing game work in this one. All right, that makes sense. Tampa takes on the l A Rams Bryan. I already told you I like Ronald Jones, but wouldn't be surprised. We had a decent game from Peyton Barber in this one as as well. Rams, very very good past defense and a lukewarm run defense. Jamis Winston though coming and Mike Evans

coming off the gigantic game last week? What do you make of this one? So this is uh? I have to give a shout out to Mike tag Leare you say that right? Who brought to light the the splits since the beginning of last season when a keep to leave plays and when he does not. It's huge differences. In the eleven games with the keep to leave on the field, the Rams are allowing two ten passing yards, three game and point seven touchdowns and one point four interceptions.

Eight games without three hundred passing yards, two point nine touchdowns and under an interception per game keep to leaves playing. So Jameis Winson is on the bench for me in this game, and uh, Mike Evans is not on the bench, But don't expect a big game from Evans like he had last week. UM. Opposing number one wide receivers have been serviceable against the Rams. Dj Moore seven catches for seventy six, Michael Thomas ten for eighty nine. Beckham had

six for fifty six, none scored. That's kind of the ceiling you're looking at with with Evans in this game. So he gets to be UM and those wide receivers can find for thirty two targets. By the way, that's a lot of targets and not a ton of production or touchdowns. UM, Chris Godwin can give him a c he will play. There was some concern with a hip injury, but he return to practice on Friday, so we should be good to go. But number two wide receivers have

fair far worse than number ones. And if you want to say Godwin's the number one and Evans isn't, then there is your argument. But I like Evans more than Godwin. In this game. He is questionable, but I think he will play, but reaggrevating that injury is also concerned. So just to see for him this week, O J. Howard, Uh, he's on the bench for me this week. Did show signs of life life last week with sixty six yards, but that was against the Giants. The Rams defense is

much better than the Giants defense. Opposing tight ends have been shut down against l A totally, just seventy seven yards on eight catches all year long. O J. Is gonna be doing a ton of blocking in this game, not a lot of pass catching. Uh. Peyton Barber I have on the bench. He was outtouched by Ronald Jones last week. And Dario gun Boal has also eaten into his playing time and f y i Ogun has more has run more pass routes than Barber and Jones combined

this season. And the Rams should jump out and early lead in this one. So the game script is this not in Barbara's favor in this one, Ronald Jones, is your take a chance of running back Church. I will stand by you with that one. I would give him a C grade. I'll give him a C grade. Um

and Ogumboala on the bench as well. Um over to the ram side, Todd Gurley begrudgingly, I'll give him a bus only average three point five yards per carry over the last two weeks, and those have been pretty good matchups. He has in top twenty touches. Yet he has just eight receiving yards on six targets. And Tampa Bay secondary is so bad they're practically funneling the opposition to the past. They're just like here, go ahead. The opponents are passing

nearly seventy of the time against Tampa Bay. You know, Malcolm Brown is a factor even though he's on the bench in this one, because it's all about the passing game for me. But I'm just gonna I'll give him Gurley a B on name brand. But don't be surprised with the sea level production. I think I think he might chip in some receptions. I will help that certainly would help his cause. Um who will chip in receptions? Are the wide receivers. I'm not gonna go too deep

into this one. They're all premium starts. I'll just say really quick. Preseason, he was Robert Woods, Brandon Cook's Cooper Cup in that order, right Yeah, Cup number one stays in the middle and Woods at the bottom. I know Fish and I were way off Cup. I was way wrong there. I'm sorry, Cooper. I loved Cup last year. I did not have faith he'd be able to come back from that injury. We all liked Cup, but I think we we we all all were sure about the injury,

and just was was he gonna miss? Was he gonna take him a month to ramp up with? Fifth? Was my problem? Yeah? By the way, Cups from my number three wide receiver. This week he gets the A. He's that top five wide receiver right now, he gets an easy A. Cook's Woods, Uh, solid Bees, and then Jared Goff gets an A. He's the new Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger. When it comes to home road splits, this game is at home. We also at Dan Jones did

to the Bucks last week. And uh, this one stat per Sports Info Solutions that I got via Evan Silva. Goth has a seventeen to two touchdown to interception ratio versus man coverage compared to fourteen to twelve against zone, and Tampa Bay's defensive coordinator, Todd Bowels, is running man coverage at least at the fourth highest rate in the league right now. So that bowls, how about bowls? Bowls?

Are pretty sure it's going Todd. Have you never mispronounced the name on the show, never accidentally pronounced a name that would then turn a guy into a butt? Well? Maybe I did on purpose as jokay, Maybe I wish I did have been funnier that that probably would have been funnier. Um. I think that was about it for that matchup. Anyway, Our final topics are ahead. When we provide you with three guys we will believe will be hot waiver wire pickups next week that you can grab

this week. It's our time machine addition that we like to call premature speculation, and it's happening next whether you're ready for it or not. Fantasy Football Weekly is Fantasy Football Weekly and I Heart Radio production. Remember all my player rankings available for free at fambio dot com. Slash chart. If you missed anything part of the show It's a great way to recap all of the player information that

you want to hear. Premature speculation is probably the most popular segment we have on this entire show, in which we try to identify players you want to pick up this week off the waiver wire that will be hot pickups next week. But Blamo, they're already on your team. Blamo, We've decided, is the official sound of premature speculation. Guys, Brian, let's start with you. Upon whom are you premature speculating? Jalen Rechard. I feel like I always talked about j

Lyn re Shard every year on the show. I wish you'd stop, and that percentage has gone up from six in week one to in week two to last week he actually out snapped Josh Jacobs in a blowout loss to the Vikings, and that could very well happen again in Indianapolis this week. Actually looking at the Raider schedule,

they could get blown out in every week. It's not that too far fetched, especially in their next five games following this week against Indy, they all look like scripts are games that will be scripted for Richard Um versus Chicago, then at green Bay at Houston, versus Detroit a great run defense, and the then versus the Chargers another solid run defense. So running back usage is a trend you should watch. And Richard is trending up, so he will

be relevant in PPR league sooner than later, probably this week. Okay, a little bit of a boring priest back here from me, Chuck, Golden take comes off his suspension. Uh, you might want to get him this week before people, before people try to get him next week comes off his suspension after this week. That Giant's team, they got Golman running the ball and they have not a lot of warm bodies at wide receiver, and Danny Times is dealing a little bit.

So Golden Tate, I think Golden Tate's um I think reasonably competent fantasy leaks have already got him taken. But there's a lot of casual leagues out there that people aren't paying attention. And Golden Tate is going to hit the news like Tuesday of next week when he comes shows up for practice for the first time and people are like, Oh, it's gonna do Golden Tate's back, and you'll he'll you will already have him. Now I have two premature speculations. One is not is not likely to

be a scenario in your league. But if anybody drops Jimmy Garoppolo because of the bye week, go get him. He's got a lot better over the course of the three weeks. But I'm assuming he's gone in your league and he's not going to be dropped. I'm going back to the guy I gave you in week one, Richard Higgins, who unfortunately he's been hurt ever since Week one. But and I know the Cleveland offense isn't go in the right direction, but we're buying low and you know they

lost David and Joko. They need an a big, warm, big bodied receiver. That's for Shard Higgins. Um, they can't keep funneling everything to oh b J. I liked him, then I'm gonna go back to the well. Now he's available virtually every league and uh, and you can get Richard Higgins before he comes back and potentially has a good game, although I don't think even if he plays this week, and I don't think he does, he would have a good game here. But I still like Shard Higgins.

Long term pick came up and play let's go, but get into our final matchups, beginning with Dallas taking on the New Orleans Saints. Zeke is an obviously because the Saints run defense guys so good last year and so not good this year. It's weird. They're giving up five yards per carry. Last year they were number one in the league at three and a half yards per carry. That's a huge differential. Remember last year they were coming off the year or their their past defense was shut down.

But then last year the past defense went to the garbage but go figure um in three games, four backs of top fifty yards against the Saints, Elliott leads the league and red zone rushing it tempts and yards. He's an A grade. Dak Prescott A grade another another potential good game for him. Here. New Orleans has allowed ten quarterback touchdowns. Only Miami has allowed more than ten, four

of those ten on the ground of quarterbacks. They've given up a quarterback rushing touchdown in every game the Saints have. Here comes Dak Prescott, one of the most mobile, fleet footed quarterbacks out there. If he does not run you to fantasy victory, he could pass his way there for you. Which brings me to Amari Cooper, who also gets an A grade. He should be able to play through an ankle injury. He's been arguably Fantasy Football's best wide receiver

this year, with touchdowns in every game. Saints cornerback Marshawn Latimer shadowed Cooper when these two met last season. Cooper went eight targets eight receptions in that game. So far this year, Lattimore has allowed three hundred forty one yards in his coverage. That's worst in the league. Marshawn Lattimore looked like he was one of the most promising young cornerbacks in the NFL two years ago. Now he's allowed the most yard in the league. UH A grade for

Marie Cooper. Let's talk about Randall Cobb. He was might take a chance to me wide receiver last week and had a seventies six yard touchdown called back on penalty. I hate it when that happens. He draws an exploitable matchup in the slot against p. J. Williams, who's a huge gambler. If p. J. William Williams, Society's gonna try to, you know, stretch out for an interception, doesn't get there. Whatever, Randall Cobbs startable in this game with a C grade

Jason Witten also see grade here. The Saints just gave up sixty two yards and a score to Will Disley, but that's the most yards they'd allowed to the position in two years. Witten has scored in two of three games this year, and he's supposed to a solid fifty four yards in the other one. Let's go to the Saints side for the first time in I can't remember how long I'm gonna talk about two and the only two relevant Saints. That's it. It's Michael Thomas who gets

a B grade. Teddy Bridgewater's passing even more discouraging. Well, let me go first and you go second. Did not throw a pass longer than fifteen yards completed nine He had nineteen completed passes last week. Two of them were for more than nine yards. Well, that makes sense with my stat his average depth of target, like how far he throws it on average three point three yards. It's unbelievable. It's it's staggering. So Michael Thomas can only get so

much done. I believe that was Mike tag Leer. Also, I like to credit he needs some time. Teddy's still younger than Carson Wentz. Did you know that does he really now? So back to Michael Thomas, likely to struggle against the Cowboys secondary that's allowed the seventh fewest yards, just two touchdowns and wide receivers. He mostly runs on the outside and that puts him on two very good

cornerbacks Byron Jones and Hidobi a Woozy. I think Michael Thomas, I think a B grade might be generous here, and I'm doing it mostly on volume of catches. Then. The only other guy to talk about for the Saints, of course, is Alvin Camara, who's in A grade pretty much every week. And in his first full game with Teddy, he took twenty five of the offenses forty two touches, he was nine receptions, ninety two receiving yards, any air touchdown UM last week. That's his best in a year and basically

all of those categories. And if we threw out the Dolphins, and I kind of wish with the NFL would throughout the Dolphins, Dallas has allowed a rushing touchdown to backs in five straight games. So Alvin Cameric gets an A. We were all wrong on Murray. No, I wasn't totally off. That was totally off. Harrison was wrong on Davis Murray used in the sleeper. Yes, Jacksonville at Denver Scott. This is a game in which football will be kind of playing somewhat. You will there will be a pigskin involved

in this game. Leonard four Nett had negative yardage until he broke the sixty nine yard touchdown not touchdown, six nine yard run last week. And I would love it if you would just predict a negative yardage game here. I cannot do that. I'm going to do the exact opposite. All right, I'm giving for Nett and a grade here. Honestly, Uh, he's He's had all but one of the Jaguars running back touches. He's had at least eighty seven total yards in every game. I know that last week the kid

took a huge round to get there. Um, he hasn't been he hasn't explored for a huge day yet, and he hasn't scored yet. But this Denver d has allowed some pretty big games. They've allowed touchdowns to running backs in every game, including two to Jacobs and two to Jones. I think that for Net with his nineteen touches a game finally gets gets off the schneide for not scoring he this is a by low opportunity for net for sure, there's some frustrated owners out there. In the passing game,

I've been show on the bench. Denver's basically top four in almost every single category, and they faced car Trabisky Rodgers. They those three guys combined for two touchdowns and barely averaged over two hundred yards. So he's on the bench. Chark, I'm giving him a C grade only for his connection with Minshew. He keeps scoring, he keeps getting decent yards.

It's it's not a good matchup passing wise, but Bryce Callahan and Kareem Jackson are unlikely to play, so the secondary is going to be a little light out there, and they've been mostly burned by Tyrrell Williams, Marquette, Marquise Valdez, scantling speed, guys like Debt, like d D. Westbrookets. So I'm actually giving Westbrooke a C grade on the option that he might get a big play and and if Chart gets a lot of Christopherris I might not even

want to play. Well that's the problem. That's the problem with Chark. I'm a little worried about Chark this week. On the other side, Flacco I have on the bench, but I am all of his passes are going to two guys. Basically, it's it's Sutton and it's Sanders, and they're just barely getting enough to get C grades, barely Fantasy viable. Both of them are in the top five in red zone targets. They've combined for like twelve teen red zone targets together, So I like their options, their

SEA grades on them. SEA grades on both Lindsay and Freeman. I actually kind of like both of them this week. Lindsay because he gets he gets good receiving work. He's averaging nineteen touches per game. Freeman's averaging fourteen touches per game. The running this offense a lot through the running game. Uh, the Jaguars are mostly allowing rushing attempts, so twenty three rushtemps per game, three receptions per game. So if I had to choose, I might lean Freeman over Lindsay this weekend.

I'm not alone on on that out there after I did my research on it. So um, but both SEA grades. Alright, Final matchup of the show, Tampa Bay taking on the l A rams Um. We've already taught feel like we got to do open Oakland. I apologize. I was gonna say we've done this one, um Oakland taking on Indie. Let's start with Josh Jacobs and what has been a

pretty disappointing season after a promising week one. All right, we'll start with Josh Jacobs, I guess the least exciting reader to talk about, but yeah, I'm just giving him a cre didn't John Gruden said they want to give him more targets, but I'll believe that when I see it. He has just three targets on this season. I'm worried he gets phased out again like he did last weekends the Vikings as uh the Raiders, uh supposedly or we all assume they'll fall behind the Colts. So uh you know,

and I mentioned this early. Jalen Richard outsnapped Josh Jacobs last week and there's danger of that happening again in a tough matchup. So just to see for Jacobs, I don't have re Shard with the starting grade, but he's my prespect so and if you aren't desperate and PPR, he's worth an ad um to the passing game. Now. I know it's late in the show, but can you wake up that peacock charge, because but I would be happy.

Do we have not had pacock yet? It is the second show of the preseason I mentioned as my sleeper, virtually unknown guy named Darren Waller. Just go out and draft him. No one's drafting him. He had some potential this year, and yeah, he's got a lot of potential. He's living up to it. He gets an A in this one, basically demanding a third of Oakland's targets so far this year. The Colts will be without starting eight d mo Week Hooker, and they will be down a

starting linebacker as well. I'm sorry his name slipping my mind at the moment. And Austin Hooper scored twice last week, so Darrell Darren Waller arguably tight end one. I would start him over Zach Ertz if it came down to it, if I had to, if I had them both on the same team, it's only I would have I would have done that, all right, Okay, I promise I would.

If you know why, I would have Tyrolle Williams gonna give him a be Keenan Allen had a big game against Indie UM, so Williams really the only wide receiver with a warm body. Seventy nine, seven and nine targets are a lock. Derek Carr on the bench though, because he's Derek Carr over the Colts. Marlon Mack easy a Okland, conceded thirty one carries for a hundred ninety six yards and two touchdowns the Minnesota Backs last week. Mac had a minor injury scared with the calf, but he touched

the ball eighteen times last week against Atlanta. That's a very safe floor for touches in this game. T Y Hilton is a listen as doubtful now with the quads, so you just gotta just end. On Friday, they promoted Shton Dulin from the practice squads Signy Hilton. So that brings Paris Campbell, Dion can Zack Pascal all into play. And that's school guy, but he's super athletic. Yeah let's go with him. I mean yeah, Paris is a good sneaky play in this game. I like Deon Kane more.

It's really pick your poison. They all saw three targets last week. Kane Kane saw the most snaps. Pascal scored the touchdown. I don't know, my gut says Kane, But it's really a pick. These guys are gonna someone's gonna have a good game, maybe two of them, but um, who knows. And then Eric Ebron a big bump with t Y Hilton out, mainly because t Y Hilton second in red some targets in the NFL right now, and that hurts Ebron, of course, but Hilton out, Um, it's

a It's a good spot for Ebron. It's a great matchup on paper, team starting tight ends against the Raiders or thirteen of eighteen for two d seven yards and a touchdown this season, and with all those positive plays in the passing game that made Jacoby Brissette take a chance on me quarterback, it is even without t Y Hilton. I still like Jacobe Brissette. I think he's I think he's sitting on a fine game, and I think he's actually sitting on a pretty good season. The rest of

the way. He's available a lot of leagues. You may want to go snatch him up if you can.
