Quarterback Stuff? Like Passing?

Heart Radio production again. I'm Paul Churchi and fanball dot Com I co host today Brian Johnson and Matt Harrison from fanball dot Com. Hi, guys, I am Matt Harrison. Yes you are. That makes me Brian Johnson, Yes, and I it's it's use that I am Paul Charchion twice so just I mean, alright, I thought we had to do it that way. The I am. I have to

make it very clear who's talking. As regular listeners know, over the course of the show, we're gonna break down every game fantasy style, and that means to put letter grades on every single mean full player. Tell you if they're an ABC or Bench grade. I guess bench is not really a letter grade, but you get the idea. And we also give your rationale for all of these picks, so you get decide whether or not you're on board with how with our assessment of how that player is

going to do. Also, we'll answer three tough questions. You get to play along. Try to go three and oh. We'll give you nine players upon whom you can take a chance, and we'll jump into a time machine to identify the players that everybody else will be trying to pick up next week, that you're already going to have because you picked him up this week. Time machine. I think we decided the time machine goes Blabo. You kind of like the pe pew better. I was more of

a Star Wars elader. I just think the Lorian every time we were talking time travel. But I can't do it one. I know it's pretty good. I know it's got hit eighty eight, that's all I know. We're beginning with the Saints taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Brian on the same side. The storyline here is Alvin Kamara. It appears he will not play. Um it's you probably won't get a definitive ruling until Sunday morning, But you know, what do you think about this, especially if it's Latavius

Murray available on over half of waiver wires. Yeah, news got worse throughout the week Thursday this, uh, you know, the injury popped up that might keep Kamar out. He did not practice Friday, so it's not looking too good. Let's assume he's not playing here. I guess I think I have to probably assume he's not because and if he is playing people probably so if he was gonna play real quick, he was gonna be a bad matchup.

But it's Alvin Kamara. You're playing Alvin Kamara, right. He was my RB nine and a tough matchup, and when I thought he was fully healthy because we believe he injured himself in practice at the beginning of the week. Now, so Latavius Murray is not Alvin Kamara. I'm not breaking news. Yeah, And and really it's a brutal matchup. Jacksonville is not allowed an opposing running back to top a hundred combo

yards of this season until Christian McCaffrey. And I was prepared to say Alvin Kamara is almost Christian McAffrey now before the season that would be preposterous, but now it's reality. But so brutal matchup this season. Let's go back. We can go back to Jacksonville has allowed one yard rushing game at home since December, which is absolutely is nuts. And then speaking back to McCaffrey, he was the first running back to top fifty receiving yards against the Jaguars

in their last eighteen games. Las Murray is going to catch that much anyway, so he gets he gets the softest see of them all. If Kamara doesn't go, if Camara goes, you got to roll the dice on them. But it's not looking good. So you're back. You're back to what Murray always is, which is just the hope of a goal line touchdown in little more. I mean, the good part is he knows how to take a handoff from Teddy Bridgewater specifically. That's maybe the highest level

point in this game. There is history there, that's for sure. Now let's go to the a land where Michael Thomas lives because Jacksonville likely to be without Jalen Ramsey for a third STRAIGHTE game. I don't know this thing's gone. I don't know. Well, the owner said he thought he'd play, and then Ramsey said, I'm still in pain this I

never listened to owners personally, I don't know. He has not practiced as far as we know, all right, So if Ramsey plays easy, be okay, because it's Michael Thomas, he's matchup proof Ramsey doesn't go, it's an a. Uh. They won't shadow Thomas with A J. Booyer, who was a very good corner as well. But Booya didn't even shadow dj More last week, so I doubt they have

him shadow Michael Thomas. Long story short, you're starting Thomas regardless, but whether Ramsey goes or not, Ted Ginn Trey Kwan Smith both dart throws, and I'm not endorsing they're both on the bench. Jared Cook gets a start. Agree with the seat just because this is one of the worst weeks for tight ends I can remember in the history of fantasy football. Jacksonville was looking like a decent matchup

for opposing tight ends. Travis Kelsey at eighty eight yards, Delaney Walker sixty four, Noah Fanse scored a touchdown two weeks ago. Then Greg Goldson drops a goose egg last week on only two targets. But uh, I don't know. I would still start Cook. He's in top twelve territory, has been targeted six times in each of the last two games. Scored last week. He's a warm enough body at the position Teddy Bridgewater, warm enough to posted big

numbers against Tampa Bay. But the Bucks stop here with Jacksonville, the jackson Hill three or five opposing quarterbacks who won or zero touchdown passes. It all depends on Jalen Ramsey here too for Bridgewater. For Ramsey doesn't go, he gets a sea kind of a take chance on me type guy. If Rancy plays easy Ben for Teddy. Speaking of which, time to give a posthumous peacock. I don't know where where's my peacock? Sound bread? Where's my peacocks? Said? Thank you?

There we go? Uh to Christian Peterson last week's show, nailing Teddy Bridgewater as is take a chance on me quarterback, but he found Teddy's second ever game with more than two touchdowns. Unbelievable call by Christian Peterson. We give him the posthumous Christian didn't die, but he's not on the show. Feel free to continue ch That's it for the Saints. Over to the Jacksonville side, starting with Leonard Fournett can give him a b here ground totals for notable opposing

backs against and Rowlands have been alarming so far. Todd Gurley six for sixty three, he did not score. Chris Carson fifteen carries for fifty three yards on the ground. Then Zeke had eighteen carries for only thirty five He did manage to score. But um, there's no way you bench Leo, but you temper your expectations. The Saints have not allowed a top twelve performance for running back yet and the front seven is the healthiest it's been all season.

So just to B for four net almost to see U D J Chark d D. Westbrook can even both of B because it all depends on who gets Marshawn Ladder on the outside. These two kind of cycle in and out because almost never plays a slot in. Westbrook runs almost entirely out of the slot, so he does that. They've both been funneling in and out. But Chark is the safer play and by the way, wasn't even drafted and wide receiver three right now he is. You think he's safer, see, I think he gets a lot more

because Chark's gonna get a lot more. I think way more because again, Lattimore doesn't go to the slot it'll be P. J. Williams in the slot. That's D. D. Westbrook. That's why I think Westbrook's actually safer, even though Chark's obviously been dramatically better to this point. They're gonna don't know, they're gonna move. They're not gonna be a hundred percent one guy in the slot. That's all I'm saying. They're

gonna go back and forth. So if I had to pick one, I'm kind of with you where I think Um Lattimore is on Charking more than Westbrooks, so but I'm still giving both to be. But Lattimore stifled Mike Evans and A Mary Cooper over the last two weeks. He's yeah, big time worry and Gardner minshew. I know. We'll talk about more getting to be this week. Currently quarterback eleven and most formats and apparently an even better fantasy football player. Have you heard about this? We'll talk

about that more. We'll keep it to the matchup. Saint Sartain, middle of the pack and passing touchdowns allowed with eight, but they have recently stifled James Winston and Dak Prescott, holding both under two hundred twenty five passing yards. That said, New Orleans has allowed four rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks, and Minshew has games of seven carries for forty two yards and six He's a dual threat, so he's a safe be It's crazy to say, but Minshew Minshew has been

fantasy startable every week of the season so far. Matt, let's go to Dallas taking on the Jets. Last week, Dallas screwed themselves over, I believe, by choosing a pass heavy game against the Packers a bad run defense. Now they get the Jets. Jets are another team you can run on. I wonder if they don't, you know, correct back towards a Zeke heavy game plan here. What do

you think? Well, they are a middle of the pack run defense that's still missing c J. Mosley, and Zeke has averaged over the running back snaps and touches over the last two weeks. I'm still giving him an A. I know people are a little bit bummed about his production in the last couple of weeks, but I think he's gonna be totally forgotten on fanball Where's Dred this week? I'd probably play him in the fan Ball five dek Prescott. I'm giving an A grade to seventent of decks passes

they're traveling further than any yards downfield. That's the third highest rate and deep balls in the league. His passer rating on those deep balls one sixteen point seven. Plus. He gets left tackle Tyrann Smith back from an ankle injury this year. He's going to clean up against another bad defense which he normally torches. Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup both getting as Both of these guys at fourteen targets last week, and the outside corners are the weak

spot for the Jets. Truemaine Johnson and Darryl Roberts have allowed seventy two completion percentage, giving up three four yards and three scores so far this year. Randall Cobbs on the bench because slot corner Brian Pool is actually kind of good. He's only allowed fifty six yards on the season, and Jason Witten's on the bench. He's not seeing enough targets and totally touchdown degrade it. On the other side, there's one one, maybe two is starting grades Levy on Bell.

I'm giving an a grade two because maybe the Packers uncovered something last week because Aaron Jones racked up a hundred eighty two total yards and four scores. No not saying Bell is gonna get that, but say Kwan total hundred and thirty nine total yards against Dallas. Kamara had eighty nine and that weird Sunday nighter that was super low scoring a couple of weeks ago. Dual threat backs have had some decent success against Dallas and Levy Ons.

One of those. Andy gets Sam Donald back in the lineup, and that only upticks I think his production a little bit more. Donald's on the bench. Though his spleen is healed enough to allow him to play, It's too bad his line could still get him killed. The Jets are worse than the league in tackles for loss, sacks, and quarterback hit rate. The Cowboys have not allowed a passing score since Week two, and only one quarterback is top

tundred forty yards against them this year. I am giving Jamison Crowder a tepid C grade and Robbie Anderson's on the bench. Of course, in Donald's only game this season, he copiously targeted slot receiver Crowder seven times against Buffaloeen and the open right yep and then Uh the only wide receiver to top seventy five yards against the Cowboys this year was Michael Thomas working mostly from the slot.

And then, of course we liked Chris Herndon to come back this week, but then he got a hamster ring injury working out on his own last Friday. So thanks Chris Herndon for not coming back. We waited this long for Herndon, and now you gotta wait at least a couple more weeks. Eagles take on the Vikings in Minnesota will start on the Eagle side where Jordan Howard has been an absolute Viking killer. He's one of two players to have topped one yards in Minnesota going all the

way back to the sixteen season. That's Jacksonville like. That is Jacksonville like. And with Chicago last year, he put up hundred nine yards and two scores in Minnesota in the season finale of last season. So he's a guy that Vikings have always struggled to handle. And here he comes into this game having scored five times in his last three games. He's seeing far more snaps and carries than Miles Sanders over the last three games, and he

gets a B grade here. Miles Sanders hits the bench trending the wrong way on both playing time, goal line usagen fumbles. We're going to keep him on the bench for this game and a tougher matchup. As for the passing game, Carson Wentz gets a b Vikings have allowed almost two touchdowns per game, which is double last year's rate, when they only gave a fifteen passing touchdowns on the

entire season. Cornerback Xavier Roads or is he a lot now legs to be called x Xavier Rhads as of this season looking noticeably worse than previous seasons against a better Viking secondary. Last year when these teams met, Carson Wentz through for three and eleven yards and two scores, and then again the secondary was playing better then. So I still like Carson Wentz in this matchup. All Sean Jeffrey could have a good game here. He's got ten days off so he should be at full health. He

sort of hobbled through last week's game. Another sort of notable Viking killer from these days with the Bears. He used to go off off of the Vikings, especially here in Minnesota. He's averaging seven targets per game. He's scored twice um Minnesota secondary. Again, I think he's gonna get. I think he's gonna get Xavier Rhads in this one and again Roads, just words, usually gets the most physical guy the opponent gives you, and that's gonna be all

Sean Jeffrey. No'm just not loving what I've seen out of Roads, so I've got to be great and all Sean Jeffrey. And this one Nelson Aghilar on the bench. Vikings have been very good against slot corners for years, and especially from Mackenzie Alexander Returns. I'm particularly nervous about Aglar slav receivers this year, averaging thirty four yards per game against the Vikings, and that leaves us with zach Ertz,

who gets a solid A grade. The Vikings have allowed the fourth most tight end receptions the tenth most yards. I think it's a focal point of this game. Let's go to the Viking side. Vikings offense revolves around Dalvin Cooko gets a B grade here. He's now run for at least one hundred ten yards in four of his five starts, and he's averaging over five point three yards per carry in those four good starts that he's had Basically everything but the Chicago Bear game. On the flip

side of it. Though the Eagle's rank number two in yards per carry, they've yet to allow back to the top forty four rushing yards. Uh. This is a tough matchup, but only three point two yards per carry allowed. It's kind of strength versus strength, Dalvin Cook versus Eagles. I'm

gonna give him a B grade for this one. Then to go to the passing game with Kirk Cousins, I'm nervous about the Vikings offensive line holding back an excellent Eagles pass rush that ranks fourth best by Pro Football Focus.

All of Kirk's wartz surface when he has to make quick decisions under pressure, but working in his favor is a really ratty Eagle secondary riddled with injury to key players like Donald Ronald Darby, Avante Maddox they're both out, and Rodney McLeod, who looks like a game time decision. Those would all be key losses there. Stefan Diggs and Adam Feeland both have strong matchups with with those guys out, and let's talk about them individually. By the way, see

great on Kirk Cousins. A grade on feeling because prior to facing Luke Falk last week, Eiggle secondary was allowing the most yards per game to opposing wide receivers, and because Theelan works the slot, he would go up against Orlando Scandrick, who was on the streets two weeks ago. And I know Scandrick had a flashy game last week with a couple of sacks, and he's gord a defensive but he's not a very good cover corner so and makes you look good. Now, well, there there is that

um Stefon Diggs gets a B grade. Working almost entirely on the outside. He's going to see competent cornerbacks for a Seul Douglass and Sidney Jones. But I think Diggs is still waiting for that give me the ball game, and I think that's could be coming here where they try to play Kate Diggs a little bit. He didn't get all the passes I'm sure you'd have liked to have had last week. This might be the one where they try to feed him a few extra times. A

B grade for him. So we have homecoming games for players when they go play in their hometown, revenge games against old teams, birthday day games. So the Eagles are returning to the site of where they won the super Bowl coup. I want to see if there's any historical champagne games. Everything charged is available at fanball dot com.

This week you are listening to Fantasy Football Weekly Idiots Fantasy Football Weekly Returns. This is a segment we call take a Chance on Me nine players not normally in your lineups, many of whom are available on the waiver wire. It is our very special, royalty

Bench minus bench mine take it okay minus? Version of take a Chance on Me? We paid nothing for the song, you paid nothing for the advice. We begin at the quarterback position. Brian who day I got Andy Dalton at Baltimore. I tried that last week. It didn't work out. It works.

Why I can make Marcus Mariot to work a couple of weeks ago, I can make Andy Dalton work at Baltimore. It wasn't that bad. Actually, Dalton's had had a good season actually, from a fantasy five games he's been fantasy. Well, they're trailing before the National Anthem even ends, so it's positive game scripts for the Bengals. But that's why I

like him here. But I also like him because already without their top two cornerbacks this week Jimmy Smith who's not gonna play in Tavon Young who was lost in the preseason. The Ravens just lost starting safety Tony Jefferson Um. So that's great news for Dalton, who has nine passing touchdowns over his last three games against the Ravens, who were already one of six teams with an opponent passing percentage north of which is top six in the league.

So fire up, Bandy, Dalton, Fire up the bed rifle. Alright, Firecrots. Would you want to say, Oh, stop, Matt, that's what's your take a chance to e quarterback? Let's come to this, Baker Mayfield is no longer a guy that you can auto start, and for good reason. His line has been awful. He's been inaccurate, but that changes this week. The Seahawks deploy one of the league's worst pass rushes there twenty six and saccurate and worst in the NFL and QB

hit rate. They also allowed Andy Dalton to throw four yards and two touchdowns. I believe I called that one and weak ones. Take a chance on me. Backups, Yeah, thank you. Backups. Mason Rudolph and Teddy Bridgewater didn't put up huge yards, but each through for two scores, plus Jared Goff nearly hung four hundred on them last week. Baker Mayfield gonna have a good day this week, all right. Just come to this. The Baker Mayfield is to take a chance in mean quarterback Kyle Allen takes on. The

Buccaneer is a secondary that is completely collapsed. Over the past month, four inconsistent passers have dominated the Buccaneers three hundred seventy five yards yikes average, three seventy five and two touchdowns per game. North Turner has asked Kyle Allen to be very efficient. To this point, he's only thrown twenty six, thirty four and thirty passes. But that change is here. Tampa seeing the most passing attempts in the league forty four per game. So Kyle Allen's gonna get

some volume in there too. He's actually inside my top ten among quarterbacks this week. Let's go to the running back position, Brian, Who's gonna take a chance of me? Runner? Oh, Dion Lewis at Denver And I know I just kind of side and discussed there, but I think there's hope for Dion if there's any sort of PPR format involved in your league. The Broncos are one of nine teams to yield at least forty targets to opposing running backs. Catch totals from opposing back fields over the last four

games are nine, eight, five, and six. Derrick Henry only has three targets over the last three weeks, so Dean Lewis has re established himself as the past catching down back in that offense. And Denver has also allowed the second most read zown red zone touches two running backs this year. So if you are a super desperate and PPR, Dion Lewis is your guy, all right, I got a shod Penny because Cleveland's run defense has had some problems

of late. Last week, both Matt Brita and Tevin Coleman top nine yards on the ground all and all, they gave up to forty five on the ground of the San fran Backs. That's a team that is very committed to the run, and the Seahawks are similarly committed to the ground game. Seattle has the fifth most rushing attempts in the league. Uh the Niners are the third. By the way, Plus, we're still on fumble watch for Chris Carson as he could see some major bench time with

another drop. In week two prior to Penny getting hurt, the split was fifteen carries for Carson and ten for Penny as Carson Carson's fumbling issues were coming to light. Penny is healthier now than last week. I kind of like him here, all right. It's a it's a speculative I would say, you know what, isn't a speculative move? My guy? And oh do I love might take a chance of me running back to available by the way.

In scent of leagues Gus Edwards, he faces a Bengals team giving up three hundred total Sorry, two hundred total yards makes it better. It would have been even better. It's believable. Two hundreds total yards per game to running backs and almost two touchdowns per game to opposing running backs. And it's not just the starters. And by the way, Mark Inger's might number one ranked running back this week,

the backups are getting paid as well. Jeff Wilson, Jalen Samuels, and Chase Edmonds have already faced the Bengals and average sixty eight total yards and over a touchdown per game between them. Gus Edwards might take a chance of me running back, Brian give me the you're take a chance to me receiver? For this week, I'm doubling down on Huday Nation with Tyler Effort at the ravens Um again. Starting safety Tony Jefferson done for the year with the

m c l um he will be. He will be replaced by Chuck Clark, who has seen just thirty targets over his short career. You made that name up, and in those thirty targets, Chuck Clark has allowed twenty one

catches for two nine yards and four touchdowns. Jeez, really, so that direct that bet against Tyler Iffort that's insane directly, yes, And before Tony Jefferson even went down, Baltimore had allowed the second most yards who tight ends over the last three weeks, and everyone was on effort last week against the Cardinals. Infest, this is your chance to pounce on recency bias on fanball because roster Lifort, no one wants

to be on ifort. He's gonna be super low owned and a great h a great player to help you win a tournament this weekend. So Tyler Iffort, let's go. I've got Keyshan Johnson of the Cardinals. He saw the field one pent of the snaps last week, which was boosted a little bit by the Christian Kirk injury. But it really doesn't matter if Kirk goes this week, as Johnson runs most of his routes as a boundary receiver. Guess who else ran their routes against the Falcons as

an outside receiver last week. Well, it was Will Fuller who went for fourteen catches to seventeen and three scores. And you know he came. He got tack at the one twice. That would have been a five touchdown receiving game and would have given him the biggest scoring game in the history of fantasy football, if he had gotten those two more yards. Well, and get this, the week before, A. J. Brown scored twice in top ninety yards, Corey Davis top

ninety yards and score. Prior to that, t Y Hilton at six and a score, and Nelson Aglar went for one oh seven and a score. They can't cover the outside receivers. The only team that stopped them was the Vikings in a game where they threw ten passes. Johnson, the only team they've stopped is the Vikings Keyshawn Johnson. I like it. In fact, I had planned to use Keyshaw Johnson for my ticket to night, but you got him in first. I am in set going with Kiki Cutie.

I like that too though, and Deshaun Watson. His fantasy football is highest scoreing quarterbacks, so of course we're interested

in anybody who might catch any of his passes. He's rounding into form from last year's a c L injury, and he's seen his snap counts rise dramatically over the last two weeks, and last week had a really nice yard gained across the middle of the field, and into my eyes, he looked a hundred percent healthy, Kiki Cutie, he is startable in a strong matchup against Kansas City slot cornerback Kendall Fuller, who has already allowed to scores in his coverage to this point of the season. Key

Key Cutie, let's work in one more matchup. Brian, you already gave us two Bengals that you like, but there's probably more. I'm guessing Tyler Boyd is a strong play in this one as well. Yeah, Tyler Boyd helps Andy Dalton's prospects definitely this week. Enjoying a nice season again because of the positive game scripts the Bengals are providing the passing game. Boyd runs nearly seventy of his routes from the slot, which sets up nicely against the Ravens,

who have surrendered big box scorers from the seams. Jarvis Landry eight for one sixty seven, Christian Kirk and Larry fitz Jerald both top two hundred yards running out the slot, and then Juju had seven for seventy five and a touchdown recently, and Boyd has top seventy yards in each of his last three games against Baltimore with two total touchdowns during that span. I'm give him an a. Actually, I like Tyler Boyd that much. Slot receivers killing Baltimore.

I'm not giving and take a starting grade though A. J. Green not gonna make his return, by the way, Boundary receivers have struggled against Baltimore even with the latest injury to the secondary. I got audented on the bench this week and Joe Mixing, I want to give him a be he feels like he should be a b every week. But the Bengals just so bad. But I mean, he's only scored once in four meetings with Baltimore, by the way, but they really the Ravens aren't well. Yeah, but it's

history of Baltimore just once in four meetings. But the Ravens aren't that tough on paper. Outside of the opener against Miami, they've allowed at least one rushing touchdown to a running back in every game, and they've also yielded the fourth most red zone touches to the position. You're starting, Mixing, but I'm gonna temper my expectations just because that old line is so brutal and give him a sea here

and that does it for the Baltimore side. Over to uh, I'm sorry for the since he side now over to the Baltimore side. Mark Ingram, you said was your number one running back this week. I couldnot argue that he gets an easy A. Probably an a the fantasy Fonzie, since now Cincinnati allowing more than five yards per carry and they've rendered the most receiving yards to running backs. So Ingram in an obvious smashed spot, and so is

Gus Edwards. Probably your take a chance of the runner charge. Uh, he gets an easy starting grade two in this matchup. Mark he's Brown was prepared to give him a pretty solid be but now he is doubtful to play news coming out on Friday, so I don't think we can expect him to go. I guess you could put Miles Boykin in his spot. It was a boomer Bus scenario for Brown um since he has allowed the fifth most past plays of twenty plus yards, but opposing wide receivers

were only averaging fifteen targets. As a whole. The league runs to or against funnel to the run, So you know I'm saying Boykin is on the bench. I would have given brown is starting grade, and I was close to give Willie Snead a starting grade. But uh, since he actually defends the scene pretty well. So basically all the receivers on the bench if Brown doesn't play, which looks like he will not. Mark Andrews not on the bench, though he gets a b has seen a least seven

targets in every game. The Bengals are allowing a modus three catches forty three yard three game to opposing tight ends. But it's such a waste land you're starting Mark Andrews and you're definitely starting Lamar Jackson this week, no kidding. So when these teams met last November, l Jacks carried the ball twenty seven times for a hundred and nineteen yards. Those days are over. I think of the seven carry game for him, but probably he did some quarterback stuff too,

but yeah, some quarterback stuff like passing quarterback stuff. Well, Tyler Murray ran the ball ten times fore and a touchdown last week, and yes when it when it comes to passing the ball, since he's not good at defending that, they've surrendered multiple touchdown passes and three out of five games when teams don't even need to throw against them. So l Jack's probably guess a fantasy funzi too. A.

I think you just named our podcast. Every week, poor Brianne has to come up with some pithy name for this week's edition of the podcast. I think quarterback Stuff is gonna end up being the pithy name for this week's podcast. The signature daily fantasy contest of fanballed Comm's called the fan Ball five. Why five? You might ask why it costs five dollars? That makes sense. The salary

cap is fifty five thousand dollars. And if you've got the highest scoring player at the five positions quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tighten defense, you hit the fan Ball five jackpot of well, that's two thousands. It really ought to be five, but it's two thousand dollars. The fan Ball five five bucks to play with, the ten thousand dollar prize pool, and the two thousand dollar fan Ball five bonus.

Two thousand is divisible by five. There's that. Go to fanball dot com slash five to play the fan Ball five. Coming up next on Fantasy Football Weekly will break down more matchups, including the early early game on Sunday, Carolina taking on Tampa Bay. Is there any stopping Christian McCaffrey even against a great Tampa run defense? Will tay when we come back. You're listening to Fantasy Football Weekly and

I Heart Radio production. I am Paul Chargie and my co host or Brian Johnson and Matt Harrison from famball dot Com. How you can hear us over the air on many stations around the country, and this show is also a podcast available every Friday evening on all major podcasting platforms, including the number one destination for a podcast, the I Heart Radio app Early Sunday Game. Last week, when we talked about the London game, we were like, thankful that it's a regular time start. Well, we're not

so lucky on this one. It is an eight thirty a m. Central time start. Seven thirty No, that would be nine thirty Eastern at six thirty am Pacific. That's ridiculous. I don't know why they do that. Maybe we'll find out from our returning London correspondent. Hellou, well, you might want to. People may remember you from last week. It's calling mccockney. It's me calling mccockney. Let's have a good old chin wag. I've got a chuckle block of great

stats for your governor. You're chuffed. I'm yes, yes, I do. I want to be chuffed. Christian McCaffrey gets the atrak. We're held to fifty three total yards and the chuff in week two meeting. Well, you'll have to excuse me, my my cockney is a little rough. Hey, it's been a while since I spent that summer backpacking through Europe and phil for what's my backstory? And some some cocky last We didn't call them cockneed lasted last. No, not

she sister cock need last man that they needed. We didn't call him that, or at least I didn't call what was her name? I forgot her name the way you go through him. Yeah, Carol, totally so. But I believe what Collins said was. Christian McCaffrey was held to fifty three total yards in the week two meeting. Kamara did Bob's your uncle one of four yards last week on twenty two touches, But he did manage one and four total yards last week on twenty two touches. Yeah, yeah,

Kyle Allen, your have a chance on me. Yes, we will take a chance on Kyle Allen, D J. Moore and Curtis Samuel get the bees knees, bees knees, you say, wait, I know that one. I think you're giving them to be great the bleeding Pirates allowed. I didn't even have to sleep with some cockney last to find out that was the nah. The Pirates have allowed over three to four straight teams, that would be the Buccaneers have allowed over three yards? Is what you say, Colin yards yards,

Lord Love a Duck. Seven different wide receivers have topped eighty yards in the last far weeks. Know what I mean, Gluten Samuel ninety one and week two. I actually do know what you mean. You ever spend a summer on a pirate ship? Not with bleeding pirates either, Greg Olson, blindy hey grade alright, Geza. As far as tight end matchups go, this is a good one, sorted mate, Yeah, as far as I did matchups, this is a good one.

Don Bennett. Olson had six for one ten and the previous meeting and the Bucks have given up a tight end scour in a free straight weeks scour would be a touchdown. So three straight tight end touchdowns over the last three weeks the Bucks have allowed. You say hi or the Pirates. Ronald Jones and Bayton Barber on the bench, Lord Love a Duck. Jones at the most touches. Last week, Barbara had the most snaps. Daria had the most routes around know what I mean? Yeah, I think everyone knows

what you mean there. No, I'm I'm I'm unclear. Jones had the most touches. Okay, week Barbara had the most snaps, had the most past routes. Run. A lot of disparity between the backs there, just is what Colin is trying to say here. Yeah, Barbara had two carpet eighty two and one and the first meeting and was scarred in the carpet over the last roarf games. So if I had to pick one, it'd be Barbara or not. What I mean, rar is a word I think you said.

Barbara had twenty three carries for eighty two yards and a touchdown in the first meeting and has scored in three of the last four games. James, So if he had to pick one, it would be Barber, he says. Jameis Winston clock start blindy. Winston is one of only two quarterbacks to top two hundred yards against the Panthers this season. Winston one of two to top two hundred yards again is the Panthers this season. That's right, Jameis

Winston is one of those guys. Since the beginning of twenty seventeen, Jamis has had twenty touchdown twenty picks ratio and facing zone defense. Is enough said? Enough said there, I think we got it. Mike Evans clock starts zero catches last week, hasn't scoured touchdown against Carolina in ching straight. That meant Mike Evans zero catches last week and hasn't scored a touchdown against Carolina in five straight, ching five, and it's top sixty one yards only once during that

same five game stretch. Chris Godwin a lot above the passer rating. When targeted Chris Godwin has pulled a blinder one fifty six point three. The passer raiding of quarterback Jamis Winston when targeting wide receiver Chris Godwin is an almost perfect one five six point three at EIGHTE the last meeting from the slot, that's Carolina week, spot, isn't it? It is? It is? I think I think I know what that was. We got that one, all right, Howard Bench,

we know that one too, all too well. What about fantasy baseball leagues, Colin mccockney, everybody, nicely done, Colin mccockney. Thank you very much, your London correspondent chiming in. It's always it's always good to hear from Colin Houston takes on Kansas City. This is a This is a tricky one with a lot of moving parts. You're gonna have to work with me on this, particularly on the Kansas

City side where we've got a number of variables here. First, for Patrick Mahomes, normally in a start, get this no way. I'm not giving him an A, giving him in a B, giving him to be Did Colin come in and teach you how to Jamaican? Heard something? I don't know what that was. He's got the ankle injury, he's got the makeshift offensive line likely missing starting tackle Eric Fisher and starting guard Andrew Wiley. And we don't know the stat us of Tyree Hill. We believe Sammy Watkins is not

gonna play. There's a lot of moving parts here, so I've only got to be great. And Patrick Mahomes is one of the few times you may be able to put somebody else in your line up ahead of him. So let's talk about some of the other elements of

the passing game, including Tyreek Hill. If he's active. I guess a. Watkins was listed as doubtful on Friday, right, so I don't think, um, Tyreek Hill, if he's active, I assume that means he'll play, and he'll probably play most of the snaps, I guess um, but maybe not all of them. So you're gonna have to factor in that. You know, he probably doesn't play all of the snaps.

He runs from all over the field, left right slot, and he if he runs from the slide, he will match up with Bradley Roby, who used to be good at Denver. That was a long time ago. He's the middle of the back cornerback now and it's Tyree Hill, and you're probably gonna start Hi, but I've gotta be great on him because of the potentially reduced snap count.

What about the other receivers, you may ask, Well, assuming Watkins doesn't go, you could probably still start DeMarcus Robinson and met Cole Hardman um, but if Tyreek Hill returns, it probably hurts those guys some too. And Robinson Hardman will split time against Jonathan Joseph and Lonnie Johnson cornerbacks. They're both highly burnable. They rank and five at the cornerback position by Pro Football Focus. I've got a C

grade on both Robinson and Hardman. If Tyreek Hill doesn't go, you could probably bump them up to bees just because they'll get they will get more usage here. But overall, I don't love either one, and I think the C grades probably just about right. Then. The running game has got a fair amount of of of difficulty built into it as well. Because los Sean mccoyinally got the two touches last week, he had that highly reduced role. That's probably a chunk of why they end up losing that game.

I think they're gonna try to use them a lot more this time around, and the Texans are giving up on total yards to opposing running backs, so there's still enough to go around. I know McCoy burned you last week, but I think you can get him back in your lineup this week. I've got a C grade on him. See Gray down Damian Williams, who got all the work

last week but didn't do anything with it. You ever just two point six yards per carry, and his season average is only one point eight yards per carry for Damian Williams. Meanwhile, McCoy season averages five yards to carry, so at this point with Damian Williams are really down to him being a PPR running back. And fortunately Houston has allowed the most running back receptions in the second most running back yard so Damian Williams remained startable with

a C grade. Last guy's Travis Kelsey. I've only got a B grade on him as well. Kelsey faces a Houston defense that's given up just thirty yards to tight ends per game and hasn't allowed to score. That's it. So it is a tough matchup for Kelsey. And again all the questions on Holmes with the ankle of the offensive line, maybe Kelsey's gonna have to stay back in block more. All of that together and I don't I'm I'm nervous about Kelsey to the point that I've given

him a rare B Houston side of the ball. I love both of the running backs in this game. Carlos Hide should be poised for very nice game in a revenge game. Brian not sunch of revenge game, but it's a revenge game. There's no way in the history of fantasy football anyone who's loved both running backs from the Houston Texans in the same game but there might have been a Steve Slayton um Arian Foster game. Maybe I

don't know, a crossover one. Maybe Kansas City is allowing the fifth most rushing attempts, the most rushing yards, and five point three yards per carry. I like Carlos Hyde. I like Duke Johnson. Johnson last week is coming up season highs and rushing attempts and rushing yards. And here's a great stat that we've unearthed. He's out snapped Carlos Hide by fifty pent in the to Houston losses. If you think Houston's gonna lose to the Chiefs, Duke Johnson

maybe the better play. Then we go to the passing game. Deshaun Watson is an obvious a and the Chiefs have allowed quarterback rushing touchdown in two of their last three games, and they've actually become pretty solid against the pass. But that's most teams just running through them so you don't have to pass. And unlike the Colts last week, the Texans dismal offensive line, I don't know that they can just man handle the Chiefs, so I think there will

be more throwing than what we got last week. Deshaun Watson remains an a level start. DeAndre Hopkins is an A start. He's going to see coverage from Bashad Breland, who's having a down year. But did you know I'll mention hold his own against t Why Hilton last week. So there's that. Kansas City has held every opposing wide receiver except Kenny Golladay and Check since week week one. So there's that. And I know Hopkins is way overdue for a big game and you've languished with him, but

you still have to start him here. And I've got an A grade on him and Will Fuller, I gotta I'm not just chasing last week's box score on a grade here too. As he goes up primarily against chart Various Ward in coverage and he's gonna be shadowing Will Fuller. That's a huge speed advantage for Will Fuller. We saw what he can do last week. I don't think you want to leave him on the bench. And Kiki Cutie was my take a chance on the wide receiver from

last segment. Final matchup of this segment is Tennis taking on Denver on the Tennessee side. You already told us you like Dean Lewis in this game. Do you like Dan Lewis. I want to believe you're gonna like Derrick Henry. Yeah, I like Derrick Henry. I love Derrick Henry and standard leagues, he gets the A. I mean, just give him a B in PPR leagues. And that's why like Dean Lewis so much this week. But back to Henry has at least seventeen touches in every game, but as I mentioned earlier,

just three total targets over the last three weeks. Of the passing game work has sort of dried up, but Denver is giving up the seventh most rushing attempts, eighth most rushing yards, and third most rushing touchdowns per game to opposing running backs. They also lost Bradley Chubb to a torn a c L recently, so Derrick Henry easy A and standard B in PPR. As I mentioned, uh, Dean Lewis has charged mentioned might take a chance on me running back. I'm not taking a chance on Corey

Davis or A. J. Brown in the receiving game. Chris Harris likely at a shadow Corey Davis, so that's a no brainer bench right there. And A J. Brown has shown flashes of brilliance, but still not a full time player, yet he has yet to see seventy percent of the snaps in a single game. So he's on the bench, and so is Adam humphreies. We're not gonna even go there.

Delaney Walker is borderline benchable lately. He hasn't played more than the snaps over the last two weeks, just two catches for fourteen yards over the last two weeks as well. Very gross against the tight ends. The Broncos appeared tough on paper, but the quality of opponents is even grosser than that. The only true tight end they faced is Darren Waller, who had a nice game of seven catches

and seven yards in the opener. And outside of that, the tight end production has been minimal because the opponents have been so bad. But here are the target totals. Four tight ends against Denver, Oakland tight ends ten targets, Chicago tight ends nine, Green Bay six, Jacksonville eight, so they are involved. Delaney gets a C in the tight end waste Land. Marcus Mariota has is on the bench though has one or zero touchdown passes and three or

five games. Four of the five quarterbacks to face Denver finished well out of the top outside of the top twenty and most formats. Aaron Rodgers Philip Rivers combined for one touchdown pass this year, easy benching for Mariota over to the dead under side. Not a not a good week for the running backs here, Philip Lindsay, Royce Freeman. Uh, still in a timeshare. Inexplicably, eye test will tell you Lindsay is the way better back, but he's still only seen about six of the work. But again, this is

a brutal matchup. Marlon Mack rushed for fifty one yards on twenty carries against Tennessee. Leonard four Nette had sixty six on fifteen Davante Freeman only twenty eight yards on twelve carries, none of them scored. Don't expect much from your Denver backs this week. And Leonard Fournett the Leonard four net game, as I recalled to get to sixty four, he had to go for sixty yard run to bring him back from negative five yards. That is absolutely correct.

Failed to mention that, which is just mind blowing. Really uh. Also mind blowing has been Courtland Sutton, a top twelve PPR wide receiver so far this year, taking a bigger leap than most expected in his second year, um should see a lot of Malcolm Brown in coverage who as well, who basically sucks. Since the start of last season, Malcolm Brown has left ten touchdowns in his coverage, the second most in football in that span. Um Court and Sutton

clearly the number one wide receiver now. Manny Sanders is not. I'll still give Sanders the sea playing in just over sixty of the snaps last week a little concerning. But slot receivers like Jarvis Landry and Mohammed san You have had good games against the Titans. So a C for Sanders, a CEE for Noah fans. Titans have allowed tight end touchdown in four or five games and the one game

they didn't allow a touchdown. Austin Hooper had nine catches for one thirty and Joe Flacco, Uh, he's on the bench. Can't get Wacco with Flacco come up next. Let's answer three tough questions you can play along try to go a perfect three and oh on Fantasy Football Weekly and Fantasy Football Weekly on Pauliarchy and from fanball dot Com. My panel of experts for this segment, Matt Harrison, Brian Johnson, Guys, it is time to get into the grinder with three

tough questions. Actually, you know what. I thought they were tough questions that I wrote him, but you know, upon retrospect, I don't know if they're that tough. We'll find out. Listeners, you better go three and oh and my panel of experts especially that much. I like their chances better. Todd Gurley owners are dealing with injury issues and bizarre usage patterns, yet his touchdowns have been enough to maintain his fantasy values. Should Gurly owners unload him, probably at a discount, or

hold him? Brian Johnson well desplayed having absolutely zero shares of Todd Gurley in any format. I guess I'm still allowed to say. I was feeling good about him following last week's game when he played the Snaps saw eighteen of the nineteen running back touches. It seems like you might have been out of the woods for a minute. And then midweek injury news pops up with a fie bruise that might keep him out of Sunday's game. I doubt that happens, but it just reminds you he's now okay,

So I take that. So here we go again with Todd Gurley. And so we all know the injury concerns and and really it's been the knee of and now it's the thigh and who else knows what's coming down the pike, but what it's coming down the pike for the Rams, specifically the Rams running backs is the hardest. Uh schedule, Uh where is bad and one is good? Is bad? Or good bad? It's bad. They have a top ten schedules or top ten ten difficult, hardest every

team defense and hardest defense. Okay, god, I could have phrased that better. Every team in their division is bottom eleven in fantasy points per game allowed to running backs, meaning fewest amount, very bad. And the best team of all might be San Francisco when it comes to running,

you know, stopping the run game. That's their opponent this week and in weeks week sixteen, where you might, well you can't even trust girlies gonna be healthy, but you might not even play in week sixteen if he is, because San fran looks so legit in their front seven. So long story, short, sell the slightest discount slight, slightest any discount really sell girly, all right, I don't have much more to add to that, but I don't think that you can sell him even at a slight discount.

You got to sell him at a deep discount right now, especially with the injury news that's going on and his touch total that has been weird and murky at best. So I'm probably going to hold because I don't like to sell at a crazy significant discount, and the touchdowns have frankly still been there when he's played. Gurley is getting twelve carries per game. Twelve. That's just not enough for anybody to have reliable production. Um, and that's a

prominent of itself. But and then get this. On twelve carries per game, he's already hurt and it's not even the chronical lye arthritic knee yet. For Todd Gurley, in all probability, this is just the beginning of the injury issues. It's uh something in the beginning of the end of

his career. Unfortunately it actually it actually absolutely could now those five touchdowns are masking a lot of risk with Gurley, and the guy you try to trade him to may look and go, oh, Todd Gurley, he's still top ten or whatever fifteen in my league scoring system. We're gonna sell now. It's harder because he's gonna miss this Well, he's gonna miss this game, and all probability you're gonna have to You're gonna have to pay a steeper discount now than if he had a week ago. Try to

put this in the gentlest way possible. Yeah, Okay, maybe I'm not target the dumbest owner in your league. You know who he is. Well, there are owners who out there who are they are to take the name value Todd Gurley, the guy who won with Todd Gurley over the past couple of years, who has an emotional attachment to Todd Gurley. Those are your targets right there, we are selling. Let's try that question number two. Michael Gallup has played in two full games, averaging seven catches and

one hundred thirty five yards. Does his evolution help or hurt a Marii Cooper, Matt, you know charged this one did damage my wernickees area a little bit. God, not a shot to the wernakees. Yeah. And when that happens, you start going into long sentences that have no meaning. You add extra words or create new words. Zizzi Baluba

and your speech sounds are all messed up. So yeah, in games that Gallup has played so far this year, Amari Cooper has six one oh six and one four forty four and one and eleven two six and one. That's a score in every game and a two twenty six yard or in there. In the games he didn't play, Cooper had a six catch, eighty eight yard and to score game. That's good. But five for forty eight that's bad. That's his worst game of the year. What's good for

the offense is good for the offense. Michael Gallops only freeing up Amari Cooper to be a better player. I think it's a great thing. It helps him a lot. All right, Yeah, I have the same stats for this season. I went back the last year two at the time, by the time Dallas acquired Cooper, he had some monster games when Gallup didn't even do anything at all. Um But as Matt said, when Gallup posts wide received wide receiver one numbers this year, Cooper bests them, and he

did that last year. In the two games they played together with Gallop managed the top at least seventy receiving arts. In Week thirteen, Gallop at five or seventy six, Cooper at eight for seventy six Week sixteen, Gallop at three for fifty three and one. That's the one game where Marii Cooper logged just four catches for twenty yards. So in the four or five games were Um Gallop has posted wide receiver one numbers, Cooper still comes out on top.

So it only helps uh Cooper the evolution of Gallop. That is, you are correct? How about this? Does it help Zeke? Does it help or hurt Zeke? To have both Gallop and Cooper performing at a high level absolutely helps. It's good for the offense, is good for the offense? You are correct? Anything anything. We want as much total productivity from an offense as we can get without a doubt.

Tough question number three, what's the most common letter grade will be giving Gardner Minshew for the rest of this season? By the way, I think he's going to start the rest of the games this season. Oh yeah, for sure, Brian, all right right now. As I mentioned earlier in the show, he's at top twelve quarterback. That basically makes him an automatic b most weeks. UM he looks legit. DJ Chark

looks legit. Leonard four Nett is legit when he's healthy and what else is legit is the schedule for Gardner Minshew. Moving forward, Let's look at week seven through twelve. He has Cincinnati, the Jets, Houston, Indie, by Tennessee. All of those teams have allowed eight or more passing touchdowns except the Jets, who have had their by and then he's in the top half of passing touchdowns allowed in the week.

Then in weeks thirteen to six, team when it really matters, he gets Tampa Bay, the Clippers of l A. Just kidding into the Chargers, the Raiders, and the Falcons who have allowed forty one passing touchdowns combined already this season. That's four straight A in week thirteen, Fourtune fifteen, and sixteen as of right now. And I'll give him an A against the Bengals and probably Indieu as allowed ten

passing touchdowns. That's the majority of the games I'm giving Gorder mitchew and answer the most common can't common grade? We even get his A? Yes, Okay, all right, Matt, I had slightly different answers, but it came up as a's as well. He had a majority of A grades in this I had four a's, three b's, and two seas in my in my matchups. So I'm with Brian and he can run the ball. We've neither of us mentioned that too. You've proven you can run the ball as well. So he runs a bit for sure. I

had one to three four. I have five B grades, three a's, only two seas and so I uh, And here I thought I was being overly optimistic. I'm like, man, I mean, shoe mania has hit this half of the table. It really has. I thought I was the highest guy on Minshew and that I was getting I was crazy to be giving him all these a's, And as it turns out, you guys are even even feed them farther over the moon from than I am. I love. Here's

the that's thinking about quietly. The best thing about Gardner Minshew. He's been Fantasy viable in every game this year. That's something very few quarterbacks can say that they've had no flop games. Minshew hasn't had any yet. He's got more Fantasy points than Aaron Rodgers or Philip Rivers or Matthew Stafford. Might have been counting the buy in there for Staffords man on a per start basis, He's outscoring those guys five B grade games. B grade is the most common

grade for Gardner Minshew. Uh, he's a fantastic target right now, by the way, go get him available and still in plenty leagues and even the ones he's not, you go pick him up. And when you factor the quarterbacks who have fallen by the wayside, like consensus top ten guys a summer, like Baker Mayfield, Aaron Rodgers, and Drew Brees. I jokingly mentioned Gardner Minshew just as like a silly name of a guy on a roster, and suddenly he's

better than Baker Mayfield. It's not close, doesn't matter of fact. So did you hear? Sorry? Really quick? How he he dropped everyone in his dynasty league. He burned it down and started from scratch. And he's like, so he just relied on the rookie draft and the agent draft. He just dropped everyone. And he's currently in first place of cords in his own fantasy. I think that's awesome. He's probably on his own team, I would imagine, well, I hope. So,

speaking of Baker Mayfield, Seattle takes on Cleveland, Matt. Let's start on the Seattle side. Um, you made some you made a passing reference to our Rashad Penny earlier, You like tell he was my ticket chance. I mean that's not passing. I wasn't listening really most true? So what do you think about Chris Carson? Then? I still gave Carson a B grade. With Penny returning last week, Carson still held the touch lead to eight over Penny, and

Cleveland's defense has been poorous against the run. They've allowed five yards per carry to opposing backs this year, So Carson still be Russell Wilson gets an A. Is passerrating when under pressure is a league high one thirteen point eight. He is on fire right now. Tyler Lockett gets an A two. He's scored in three games this season and the two he didn't one was a stinker, the other was ten for seventy nine, so he's in A grade

as well. He's Russell's favorite target. His second favorite targets probably Will dis Lee. In the last four weeks, dis Lee has four touchdowns in either top eight yards or scored in every game, and the Browns have allowed four touchdowns to tight ends this year. That's the second most in the NFL. So Wills gets an A grade. I'd start him over Travis Kelsey this week. That's crazy, but uh, I mean it happens sometimes. DK Metcalf he's on the bench.

It seems like he's very touchdown dependent, scoring in two games this year. The problem is he's been held to four or fewer receptions in every game this year, including five total catches over the last three weeks. On the brown side, I'm giving Nick Chubb a b NO back has topped sixty nine yards against the Seahawks this year. Where are you? I can't, I can't really can't do. I'm sorry. Here's a very belated nice there we go. However, both Alvin Mara and David Johnson have had over ninety

receiving yards. Chubb has had at least three receptions in four of five games this year, and if Mayfield continues to run for his life from this line, Chubb may see some bonus passwork. I got BI grades on both Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry outside that week to catch for Odell, where he turned a seven yard slant into an eight yard touchdown. Beckham owners have been super disappointed, and I just saw in one of my league's Beckham plus Carlos Hyde was traded for Allen Robinson alone. It's

come this far. Um Odell is still top ten and targets and eleventh and air yards, so some positive regression is due. Go get him now, Go get him now. And Jarvis Landry, he's third in the league in yards after catch with a D one somehow hasn't scored. He's had at least seen target. The whole problem with Landry well nobody. Nobody's scoring on the Browns, but between the two of them they have one touchdown at least seven

targets in four or five. And the noteworthy thing is Cooper cup burned the Seahawks from the slot last week. I did. Tyler Boyd and Juju each put up decent days against Seattle, and Mike's Michael Thomas scored from the slot. So I like Landry as a B. Every week you can play the Crush Charts Championship for free at fanball dot com. When you assemble a better salary cap team than mine, you get a shot at this week's prize pool of one thousand dollars. Again, it is free to play.

More importantly, though, when you beat me, that's your ticket to our week seventeen championship, where you battle me for the ten thousand dollar grand prize. Go to famile dot com slash Charts again free to play the Crush Charts Championship. Back in moments with more matchups, including Washington in Miami. Two offenses that we normally just sort of gloss over, but suddenly they're starters all over the place. When the two worst teams in football matchup, We'll tell you who

you dare play. When we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, Fantasy Football Weekly returns and we are back diving in the matchups. But first, did you know you can play super Flex salary Cap at famball dot com. If you love starting two quarterbacks, go to fanball dot com and play our salary cap super Flex d f S. Super Flex is so fun. You get bonus money and you can really make some cool lineups on their best. You can use four tight ends too, if you want to

get super superle you could. You could go with the two quarterbacks I'm going to give you in Washington Miami, and then just back you could start like their number one player at every other position. I like it. We said about that they both got starting grades beginning with Kate Kate right heaving over here why caves keen Um Now, first, give Bill callan credit. He got the right quarterback onto the field. Case Keenum is the least non functional of

the Washington quarterbacks. That's he actually posted three good fantasy games in his three full starts and finishes. His teams have averaged twenty one points. That's not that bad. Miami is the easiest defense that the Redskins will face all year. Terry McLaurin and Tray Quick got positive matchups. Terry mclauren, that's right, positive matchup case Keenum C grade. Let's go to the receivers I just mentioned, beginning with Terry McLaurin,

who gets a B grade. Now, last week he only put up a three catch line, but it was just the third time in twenty two games that Stephan Gilmore a lot more than fifty yards and to a single player in coverage, which tells it tells you again reinforces

McLaren's pretty darn good. He will see a lot of Dolphins Cornerback Xavian Howard, who used to be really good, but he's taking a huge regression back last to this season, and he has allowed eleven catches and two touched Hounds in his last two games alone, and could struggle with Terry McLaren's speed. McLaren's quite a bit faster, So I like mclauren here quite a bit. I mentioned Trey Quinn

as a deep sleeper here. Now, I know he's been very quiet, but in Kingdom's three starts he averaged six targets. That's not bad. He goes up against Dolphins cornerback Eric Rowe in the slot. Rose allowed two touchdowns already and is allowing a passer rating of a hundred and thirty four in his coverage. So Trey Quinn startable here. Even two running backs are startable. I got five, I got five redskins. You can start Adrian Peterson. Bill says, he's

basically telegraphed the whole game plan. We're gonna run, and established the run. This is gonna be more than the combined starters we recommend in every other week, but this week for both of these teams. The Dolphins have given up a rushing score in eight straight games going back to last year. Obviously, they've allowed the most total yards to running backs. They've allowed the most touchdowns to running backs. Now,

Adrian hasn't been good. He hasn't topped three and a half yards also a games actual legitimate NFL teams in their prior couple of games. Look, I understand, but Peterson's gonna get enough work where I think he's absolutely startable. Ce Grade on Adrian Peterson, C grade And Chris Thompson, who's got at least four catches and in each of his five games this year and now oddly, Miami has allowed the second fewest running back receptions but has allowed

four touchdowns to running backs through the air. So we're still gonna give Chris Thompson a dart throw here too, se Grade. Uh, Paul Richardson is on is on the bench because I can't quite go that far here. But you know it wouldn't You wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. But I can't get myself to put six Redskins in. Now I've got four starting Miami Dolphins in this one. Kenyan Drake gets a B grade. Kenyan Drake is going to outscore a bunch of brand name

running backs this week. M's just be like a weird Kalin Blage game nowhere. Blage has been effectively benched. He was on the field for eight snaps last week, which is eight too many. By the way, the Red Chkins give up the third most rushing attempts, the ninth most rushing yards, the ninth most receptions to running backs, the ninth most receiving yards to running backs, and Kenyan Drake's getting all the work. He has seen his rushing yards and yards per carry rise in every game this year.

He's also averaging five targets per game. Kenyan Drake is sitting on a really nice game. What letter grade you give him? Be as if that made you nauseous, wait until you hear the C grade I'm giving Josh Rosen, who has thrown one touchdown on the season. Hold my beer, but the Redskins have allowed the most passing touchdowns, including three touchdowns in every game but one. Rosen's gonna get to two hit in this game, earning him a C grade. That means I gotta like somebody's gonna throw the ball

to Preston. How about Preston Williams. He's got a juicy matchup Redskins secondary that's allowed nine touchdowns, the receiver's second most. The Redskins have got exactly one solid cornerback, a guy named Quentin Dunbar. I am a little bit worried that Dunbar is gonna be on Williams, which is what I would do if I ran the Redskins. But they might be dumb enough to put him on DeVante Parker, who also gets a C grade. Parker is top fifty six yards in three of four games, and he scored before

last week's by. He is a dart throw against a fading Josh Norman in this matchup? How about that nine starters between Washington and Miami, two teams that the best thing they could possibly do, I think is faded at this point. How many times would you start a player in this game? Really? Nine San Francisco takes on the l A Rams Brian. The San Francisco offense confounding in many ways. You've got to deal with a bunch of

different running backs, stuff, a bunch of different receivers. What do you think about a tricky matchup with the Rams? Minus it keep to leave, by the way, who's been ruled out of this one? And I think that opens things up a little bit for Jimmy Garoppolo that might be additioned by subtraction. The way to leave has been playing recently the last couple of weeks. Yeah, so though he was better early. Okay, we'll start with Jimmy G. But Friday news came out that George Kittle is questionable

now with a groin injury. So that obviously changes the prospects for Jimmy garoppolo if Kittle since but let's assume Kittle does go, I'll give Jimmy G the See he's averaging averaging under thirty pass attempts per game. He's been way more of a game manager, mainly because that forty Niners defense is looking really good. Um, but San Francisco is the underdog here, so the forty Niners may need

to pass more than usual. And over the last two weeks that secondary struggled big time for l A. Both Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson through for four touchdown passes each. So Jimmy G pretty safe. Uh see if Kittle is able to go. Uh. If Kittle goes A if he doesn't go obvious bench Uh. The Rams are allowing a very modest six catches for fifty yards to opposing tight ends. Kittle's history against l A is way more than modest.

He has gone off in three straight uh nine and one in his most recent five, and won the game before that and four for a hundred the game before that. So you're starting Kittle. That's a no brainer. The ram. I'm sorry the running backs for they they're gonna be out without Joe Staley and another starting tackle in this one. So Matt Brita Tevin Coleman going to give him both the sea. I want to give a stat about how

good Breeda is. So since the start of there have been forty three running backs with at least two hundred and fifty carries. Among those forty three running backs, only seven have averaged more than five yards per carry. Brita ranks second among all those running backs at five point to two yards per carry. Number one, your boy, Philip Lindsay, by the way, also hit the highest speed of any player in the NFL last week in that long run.

It was twenty that's crazy, crazy fast. The whole bit on Brita, I think part of it people just didn't want to believe because it wasn't a brand name guy and he wasn't drafting a high position. But just the eye test tells you he's awesome. He just has to stay healthy whenever healthy Brita is unbelievable. And just remember it rhymes with cheetah for a reason. Do you remember what Steve Smith called himself when he came into the league Snida half snake, half cheetah. Don't I'm not kidding.

That is a Steve Smith fact fact. Toyd, right there, sna well, it's well, it's sneaks outside. That's right. Back to back to the running backs, Back to Brita and Coleman. Unfortunately for Brita, Tevin Coleman is healthy. Coleman saw sixteen touches of the snaps last week, Brita fourteen touches ont of the snaps. It's basically a time share there. The Rams have yielded the ninth most carrious the running backs,

but just over four yards per clip. So just to see if you're the running backs for San Fran this week and all the wide receivers are on the bench, that you just can't trust those guys. Over to the l A side, Todd Gurley can't be trusted this week. It seems late either doubtful to play. Wasn't going to be in a good spot if healthy. I've mentioned multiple times how good this forty Niners defenses, especially against running backs.

Posing running backs are averaging under Combo yards per game, and not one back has found paydirt against the forty Niners. So you'll start Malcolm Brown, but temper your expectations in this one, because it's gonna be a long day for him. Probably not a long day for Cooper Cup, though he gets an a looking like Adam Thiland last year. If he tops a hundred yards, that's five straight games to start the season for Cooper Cup. Big name slot receivers

have done well against the forty Niners. Tyler Boyd, Juju Jarvis Landry, Chris Godwin all had good games, and according to Sports Info Solutions, twenty eight of Cooper's forty one catches this year have come in zone coverage, a scheme San fran demployees more than eighty percent of the time. So things shaping up nicely for Cooper. Not been a nice season for Robert Wood's gonna give him a b here,

sort of reluctantly. At least eight targets in four were five games, but as fewer than fifty yards, and three of the last four he's been the quote unquote beneficiary of Goff's struggles this year, has not scored in three games against San Francisco either as a member of the Rams boundary. Receivers like John Ross and Deonte Johnson had good games, though, so a B for Woods. Brandon Cookes is in concussion protocol. I think he can plays trending

towards playing. I'm hoping he doesn't for people that own him, because on they have to decide to start him or not. I'm on this waivering towards bending him. Uh. He has scored in just two of his last ten regular season games, and his top seventy five yards only once during that ten game span. Granted, one of those games he scored uh In came against the forty nine, and weeks seventeen scored twice. Actually, but San fran is much better now. And don't forget Cooper Cup was not playing in that

game either. So I can't fault you for startin Cooks, but I'm not advocating it. Gerald Everett. Game last we pick up this week, Gerald Everett, I wouldn't chase that box score. Forty Niners have allowed a league loow eight seven total yards to the tight end position this year. Yes, they've had their bye, but they defended the position really well. And I'm not starting Gerald ever ever, go Grab no Evant. I like him way more. And Jared Goff. This is a home game. He's way better at home since the

start of last season. Has a twenty five to six touchdown to intercept interception ratio at home, fourteen to thirteen on the road, So he gets a be here. Jamis Winston, Baker Mayfield, Mason Rudolph all struggled mightily though against the forty niners, but Andy Dalton had eleven yards and two touchdowns, So there is a beacon of hope for golf here.

Hopefully our final topics are ahead. When we provide you with three guys we will believe, we believe will be hot waiver wire pickups next week that you'll want to get this week. So everybody else next week is trying to get those guys. And that's right, they're already on your team. Speculation is happening acts on Fantasy Football Weekly.

Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly and I Heart Radio Production. Reminder, if you missed any of the player ratings we've been talking about for the better for over an hour, now hour and a half, whatever it's been. All my player rankings available for free at fanball dot com slash chart. You can play against me for free for your share of a thousand dollar prize pool while you're there in

the crush Charts Championship. Guys, this is us a bit we like to call premature speculation, maybe the most popular segment on the entire show. Each of our hosts will provide a player who will be a hot waiver wire pick up next week that you're going to pick up this week. We begin with Brian Johnson. Who you got. I'm gonna go with Justice Hill, running back for the rape in and right now, Hill's kind of buried on the depth chart behind mark Ingram of course and Gus Edwards. Um,

but the moral of the story is right now. Mark Ingram obviously has a role, and so does Gus Edwards. But the Ravens run the ball a ton. They are third in a rushing play percentage as a team, and really, he'll pass the eye test. He looks like he has three down potential. He's just getting treated like garbage like all the rookie running backs this year, essentially, But all he needs is an injury to either Ingram or Edwards, and he becomes fantasy relevant. And again he's a guy.

If something would happen to both of these guys, he gets the mold of a bell cow back. Um, so if you have an empty spot, he's he could be a game changer. You're kind of rooting for injury what you never want to do. But uh, if something were to happen to either those backs, he'd be fantasy relevant in a second in dynasty or keeper leagues or Empire leagues. I think Justice Hills really interesting beyond and uh, and this is you can buy. You can get him for

nothing right now. Uh, Matt, who is your premature speculation guy? Devin Singletary is only owned in about two thirds of ESPN leagues right now. He's missed a couple of weeks with an injury. He's on a bye this week, which makes him even easier to pick up right now. A lot of people dropping him this Frankly, all the bills that you can pick up right now, I'd pick him up because coming up out of the by Miami, Philly, Washington, Cleveland,

Miami again, Denver, Dallas, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, New England. None of that's really tough New England Week six. That's the toughest one. So you might not be playing Singletary in the in the championship game, but he's got the ability to be a bell cow because Frank Gore is more likely to be playing bingo in November than he is to be being a bell cow running back on the Bill. So I like Devin Singletary a lot. I picked him up

in a league this week. Devin Singletary has only been able to get because he got knocked out in Week two. He's only had ten carries. He's averaging seventeen yards of carry. He's he's really good for Ank or you all know what Frank Gore is. He's just you know, the three three yards in the cloud of dust. When the Bills want to get electrifying, they're going to use Deevin Singletary. Nobody's calling Frank Gore electric. No. By the way, Josh Allen is going to be a top seven quarterback. I agree.

I agree, outside of Lamar Jackson, he could be the best quarterback coming out of that draft class with Baker and for fantasy use for sure, because of the running that is possible. Go checking the availability of Josh Allen as well off for the you know the schedule again, just so easy might take a chance on the quarterback. My premature speculation quarterback is Cam Newton. Cam Newton, you say, well you used the other quarterback as you take a

chance on me. Guys, well, that's yeah, Kyle Allen like I like Kyle Allen better. And by the way, the Panthers might too. I think that I I'll discuss this in a minute. First, know this, they're in they're in London this week, and then like every London team, they're on by so then coming out of the bye, at that point, Cam Newton is probably ready to come back. So now they're going to have a decision to make right and I, by the way, I'm I'm team Kyle

Allen and who I think is best. But given all of the equity, money, prestige that they've got into Cam Newton, funny hats, funny hats ascots, they're going to have to put Cam back on the field and they're gonna have to give him another try so that Cam can lose the job healthy. So when he comes back, he's gonna play middle of the pack defenses. San Francisco Tennessee Green Bay maybe an above average defenses. If he survives that,

then the schedule gets really easy, including playoff runs against Atlanta, Seattle, Indie. Um, you can wait a week and the gift to pick up Cam Newton this week because he's gonna be on by next week. So you could wait a week if you want. But I think you're gonna have the Panthers starter sounds that schedule is tough and he's gonna then lose the job again. Kyle Allen might be very premature speculation.

Teams aren't got Kyle Allen's out of the catch, but Cam Newton has been dropped in almost all the leagues right because he was bad and hurt. It's bad combo. Let's go to back to a last set of matchups, including Atlanta taking on Arizona. This is a potential. Matt Ryan has been actually very good for fantasy owners. We don't care that the leads the league interceptions. He's been very good for fantasy owners, and I can't wait here we have to say about him. And on the other side,

Kyle Murray's forthcoming Kyler Murray's forthcoming breakout game. But let's start with the let's start with the Falcons and you just want to read the whole matchup. I just got my opinions. I want to get in. It's a start everyone game across the board. Uh. Let's start with Matt Ryan. Uh. He gets an A grade facing pressure on thirty eight percent of his dropbacks this year, but still yards and six straight games and the Cardinals have allowed the sixth

most passing yards and the second most passing touchdowns. Julio Jones gets an A. He was held under fifty yards last week. Julio bounces back after sub fifty yard games in his last three bounce back games five, one oh six and two, nine and one eight, one oh six and two. Julio is going to bounce back in a major way. Calvin Ridley and Mohammedson, you are getting B grades. The Cards are still missing both starting corners. Secondary receivers

Danny Amondola and out In Tate each scored. Both Panthers receivers scored against them this year. To Austin Hooper gets a A and maybe like the he might be the top rated tight end of this week. Uh, I got him three. We've beaten it to death this year. But the Cards are historically bad against the tight ends. They've allowed the most yards and touchdowns the position to Uh. Deavonte Freeman, I'm giving a B grade and Edo Smith is getting a C grade. Uh. Um, it's got it's

become like a fifty fifty time share. That's the problem. Freeman's getting a little bit more. It means both are startable against the Cardinals team that's allowed an average of a hundred and twenty four rushing yards and thirty seven passing yards to opposing backs over the last three weeks. So Freeman still be On the other side, David Johnson is dealing with a back injury that popped up kind of late in the week on the injury report, although

he did play through it. Cliff Kingsbury said that he did play through it last week and that's probably why his snap percentage went down. Uh. He only had sixty of the snaps last week compared to Chase Edmonds who had thirty seven. UM. So we sell the uptick in Edmonds last week and DJ sat out Friday from practice. If he doesn't go, Edmunds becomes a B grade in this game. Right now, I have David as a B and Edmonds as a C. Does Edmonds maybe become an

A grade because he doesn't have to share that. That's probably closer to write it. It's it's A B, T and A, so it might be A. The Falcons have allowed the eleventh most rushing yards on the season as well. You mentioned at church. Kyler Murray gets an A grade. Yeah, baby, this is the breakout game coming. Well, We've said that a couple of times in the last few weeks. Unfortunately this time the first time I've said it and I mean it. Baby. We haven't seen the ceiling yet for Murray.

But the Falcons have allowed ten touchdown passes in the last three weeks, so it might be time. They're tied for last in the league's in sacks with Miami and they've played one more game than Miami. And even with a bad old line that Kyler has, Murray should have more time than he ever has had before. So Kyler Murray gets the A grade. Uh. Larry Fitzgerald gets an A as well. Christian Kirk gets a B if he goes. He's still limited in practice with an ankle. It's a

great spot though, of Kirk plays. The Falcons gave up three hundred seventy seven yards to wide receivers just last week, which is why Keishawn Johnson was might take a chance on me wide receiver and it gave him a B grade as well. Yeah, that's um for Kyler Murray. I love the fact that Cliff Kingsbury is giving him designed runs and that that's unlocked a lot of value from the last couple of weeks. He wasn't letting him run

early on. Now we're getting designed runs and watching back last week's game for Kyler Murray, just the poise differential was gigantic. Um. The accuracy was very good except the first series where I think that the adrenaline was flowing. He sailed a couple of passes early, but after that the passes looked effortless for Murray. Uh, this is this

is the game. I wouldn't be surprised if this is two rushing touchdowns and one passing touchdown or two passing and one rushing and this has got massive upside for

Kyler Murray. Atlanta's the team you want to see as the opponent for any fantasy player moving forward since they lost Keyan O'Neil again Torn Achilles, I believe or a c l that they just keep getting lit up and because Atlantic can score points, which is favorable to keep the game competitive in high score we had that defense is any It's worth noting that Dan Quinn is their defensive coordinator and had coach right now, so they basically can't fire him during the season, right, So that means

we get Atlanta doing this junk for the rest of the year. It's great. Pittsburgh takes on the Chargers. We begin with James Conner, who will be the focus of the Chargers defense because Pittsburgh is unfortunately starting Devil and Hodges in a quarterbacks You know, his nickname is Duck Duck. You know why it's called Duck, Probably because the offensive

lineman would have to yell duck. They've got um. Chargers are gonna try to stop James Conner and make Duck Hodges beat them, beat them, which is the obvious game plan. And that's why I've just got to be great on Connor here. Now there is a Melvin Ingram is banged up and Thomas Davis is banged up, but and they are giving up four point nine yards per carry, So the chance that Connor could still have a big game here, But I do believe they're going to play mostly to

stop Connor. Connor hit the Chargers for two touchdowns last season, so I think he will be featured in this one, particularly with Jalen Samuel out. Then we go to the passing game again with Duck Hodges at the helm. God only knows what can end up happening here. I thought he was okay in relief last week. Get this. He didn't take a snap in practice prior to getting thrown to the Wolves. Last week. The most he had done

was worked with a seven man team. He wasn't even running with the second stringers in practice, and they threw him into the game and he actually looked okay. I don't think they had much of a choice but to put him in the game. Now, well, they didn't have any choice. But we gotta believe this is materially gonna harm the offense dramatically. And I've got just a nervous

C grade on Juju Smith Schuster, here's generous. We have no idea of Hodges can complete a deep pass, and and that's really been what's to find Juju's fantasy value. For the most part, Juju lines up in the slot on almost seventy percent of his snaps, or he'll face Desmond King, who has been awful and got trucked by Courtland Sutton last week. So maybe it's gonna work out for Juju this week. And I do have a C grade on him, but massive amount of variants here, depending

on whether Devlin Hodges can actually play the position. Vance McDonald also gets to see because a lot of times you've see inexperienced quarterbacks dump off to their tight end when they're in trouble, which is all the time, and so that could that could help manson McDonald's stat line here. Two games ago, the Chargers gave up three tight end touchdowns in one game, and McDonald is the best tight end that they've seen all year. So Vance McDonald gets

a ce. Dante Johnson is too far down the depth chart and he's gonna draw Casey Hayward, so he's dead to us. Now let's go to the Chargers side. Very importantly, the Chargers just lost their center, Mike Pouncey. That hurts everybody. They were already without tackle Russell o'coon key's out. That means that Dan Freeney and Forest lamp both are going to play out of position in this game? Lamp? You

love Lamp? Do you like him playing out of position? Okay, I've got a B grade on Austin Ekeler and a C grade on the rest of the Chargers because of all of the chaos on the offensive line. Let's start with Austin Neckler. Steelers allowed the sixth most receptions per game to opposing running backs and two backs of top fifty receiving yards, although none have scored. Three of the four touchdowns and Steelers have allowed were two backup runners. So I still like Keler here, and I like him

over Gordon. Now let's talk about Gordon, who just gets the C grade. He saw forty six percent of the snaps last week. Head coach Anthony Lynn says he's going to get more workload this week. I think this could be for Melvin Gordon back. He faces a Steelers team that's seen the second most rushing attempts but hasn't allowed any rusher to top seventy nine yards. Last week, they held mark Ingram to two yards per carry. So I'm nervous about Melvin Gordon behind this makeshift offensive line. Then

Philip Rivers after a horrific start to the season. The Steelers secondary has come together over the last three weeks, allowing just two hundred three yards per game and two total touchdowns. Rivers best receiver, Keenan Allen's got a tricky matchup, which I'll talk about now and why he's just to see he's gonna see Mike Hilton, one of the better slock cornerbacks, allowing just thirty yards per game. That said, Hilton is allowing his passes in coverage, his coverage to

be completed, so that helps. So maybe get just through PPR and repetition, you can do something here. Steelers have seen a lot of good slot receivers and they have not allowed to touchdown. So just to see grade on Keenan Allen and Mike Williams always a shaky volume guy

to begin with. And if the if the Chargers get a big lead against Duck Hodges, which is possible, that would limit Mike Williams outlook here because he might not get much of any volume and that in that event, So just to see great and Williams and I thought about putting him on the bench. Our final matchup is Detroit taking on Green Bay. Brian talked to us about

the Lions Monday night game. Here, we'll start with carry On Johnson getting in a green Bay allowing five point three yards per carry in the seventh most catches to running backs this year. Carry On saw Lions coming off the bye, by the way, which is always good to his carry On Detroit's offensive snaps in their last game, so he looks to be trending towards Bell Cow status.

And the last four running backs you face Green Bay have produced at least nine you On Comboy yards and at least one touchdown, So hopefully Matt Patricia uses carry On correctly in this one. Kenny Golladay getting get a as well. All you need to do is look at the opposing wide receiver box scores to feel good about Baby Tron's prospects. Amari Cooper had eleven for two and one, Michael Gallup in the same game seven for one, thirteen and one. Alan Robinson topped a hundred yards. Courtland Sutton

five or eighty seven. Stephan Diggs and Alison Jeffrey both scored against Green Bay. Easy a for Golladay attempted to give Marvin Jones be here, even though he's pretty touchdown dependent. Although he is on pace for seventy plus catches and a thousand yards this year, which is pretty impressive, and he does have four touchdowns across his last three games against Green Bay. But I'm gonna be uh approaches with a little trepidation. Is give him a C in this one.

I like Golladay a whole lot. More Over to the tight end position, t J. Hockenson still in concussion protocol. Help he goes, hope he goes to his floor. Can hit you hard though, trust me, I know um He's probably a low end tight end one. If cleared, especially in this week's tight end waste Land team startgeting targeting tight ends against the Packers or twenty two of seven years and green Bay will be without starting free safety

Darnell Savage. Uh. For those reasons about me liking the past catchers is why Matt Stafford gets a B. Traubinsky, Cousins, and Flacco were shut down by Green Bay, but that is totally understandable. Carson Wentz and dak Prett Scott both tossed multi multiple touchdowns against the pack over the last two weeks, and Stafford has thrown two or three touchdowns and nine straight games that is, I didn't realize such

a pack. They're just always behind these games. They take it, but uh might not be the case in this game over to the green Bay side could be without their starting center, Corey Leslie. I believe his name is that all the direct impact on Aaron Jones just gonna give him a b here. Though. Even though the Blinds run defense hasn't been as stout as last season post the Snacks Harrison trade us in, running backs are averaging more than a touchdown per game on the ground and seventy

yards through the air. That's were pretty good numbers for running backs, and despite already having their by Detroit has yielded the fifth most red zone touches to opposing running backs. All you have to do is pray that Jamal Williams stays off the field for Aaron Jones on this one now, and Williams might come back for this one, which is a bomber who will now be returning his Davante Adams. He will not play with the toe injury, won't play until it is fully healed, Green Bay is saying, and

that is not this week. Geronimo Allison also questionable with a hamstring injury. He might not go. Let's assume he does. I'll give I'm sorry, Mark hasval This scantling is questionable. With the Hammy Allison is fine, I'll give both the Sea other than talent rather than talent, I'm not sure Darius Slay which shadow either of these guys, and someone has to pass catch passes of Adams is out, so

let's give both the Sea. The Lions have yielded the most red zone targets opposing wide receivers, but only three wide receivers have scored so far off those targets. Jimmy Graham, hate him, but give him a see. Uh. Detroit hasn't allowed an opposing tight end to score this season. Travis Kelsey and Zeck are both had respectable games, but Graham is far from comparable to those guys, and Aaron Rodgers also questionable. He should go. No, Davante Adams Hurt's no

starting center. Patrick Mahomes didn't throw a touchdown pass against the Lion, so I'll give Rogers to see on name brand alone. But I would go with almost any of our take a chance on the quarterback, so no, I would too. I definitely start my guy Kyle Allen, I'll tell you that much. Over the last eleven games, Aaron Rodgers averaging one touchdown pass per game in single quarterback twelve team leagues. Rodgers is droppable. I'm seeing him getting

dropped in leaps. Yeah.
