Week 8

to Week number eight. Fantasy players. Some of you already in a big hole if you went up against DeShawn Watson. I was worried going into that matchup that Watson would um would be overshadowed by a running game that I thought would be very successful. And the running game was, but Watson went absolutely berserk. I thought they might rest him with the chest injury. Didn't matter. My co host today, Scott Fish, Brian Johnson, Hello, guys, Hey, how's it going

very good? Thank you uh and a celebration of sorts. Tony Landry, our longtime producer for the show, final shift of his final show before leaving the state to go reap his fortunes on the East Coast. We will miss you. We got to abuse the sound bar as much as at the button bar. The only reason we have a functional button bar. That's right, keep the vulture on hand. There's the vulture right there. Yes, that's all the beauty right there. My last of a peacock will be the

lasting legacy of Tony Landry. There days, Baby, Tony, you're getting a beer after the show. I don't see why we wouldn't, like I got an apartment to clean or anything to do. But beers sound great. Beer is good. You know what beer is really good? The official beer Fantasy Football grain Belt Premium. Many thanks for our decade long sponsor grain Belt Premium.

When two thousand dollars in a trip to Manny's Steakhouse for our winners banquet in January, it's one of the highlights of my year. It's awesome. Many thanks for friends at the brewery. They keep doing this year after year, which is great. Sean Ryan and Brett Moss and Lee Wendinger and Chad and Jody Marty and then the general manager at Manny's Dave Wilson of course, Uh, guys plenty to get to. Over the course of the show, will

do three hot questions. We will take a handful of calls, maybe even before Lightning round, which might happen as well. We will also give you premature speculation nine players upon whom to take a chance. And let's dive into the Eagles and the Jaguars, another early Saturday game. I know some of you got screwed on this deal with Melvin Gordon last week. Yeah, yeah, just go set your Saturday lineup right now for Saturday morning and a clock. Yeah,

and the alarm clock. I tweeted that to literally set because we saw this on Saturday, so like midday Saturday, when Melvin Gordon was going to be a game time decision, I said, look, you're Melvin Gordon owner, it's not crazy to set your alarm clock for seven o'clock so you know if he's in or out, um and that as it turned out, that would have probably been a good move. But I know some of you got burned on this. Hopefully that won't be the case here, Scott. Let's jump

into Eagles taking on the Jaguars. Jack for all the problems that Jaguars have. Defense is still pretty good and uh, London is a great place for Bortles, so again, it's got a good London track Lewis last year. Yeah, but I'll start on the eagle side with Wentz in that passing game. The Jaguars have been pretty tough, but they are missing going to be missing three corner three, three defensive backs for this one, two of them that didn't

even make the trip, including a j Bowie boy. Excuse me. Uh, Wentz has at least two hundred and seventy five yards and multiple touchdowns in four straight The Jags have held everyone but Mahomes under two thirty five. They're barely allowing passing yards, but Mahomes had three hundred, Prescott had two touchdowns, Brady had two touchdowns. I think it's an okay matchup for Wentz here. I gave him a B grade in

the passing game. Jeffrey also gave a B grade. The Jags allowing the fewest receiving yards and just the second fewest receiving touchdowns to wide receivers this year. It's pretty pretty tough. But since returning from injury, he has at least seventy yards and at least one touchdown in three of those four games, and he's averaging over ten targets a game, seven catches in each. The only dud was against the Vikings. I think he's going to be solid here. I I give him a B grade. I very close

to him in A grade. But I think this Jags defense still going to be pretty tough C grade for with all those defensive back injuries. I think that he's gonna you know, and the third string against lot corners, the third string slot corner. I like Nelson game. Yeah. The only problem is is insanely low, like seven yards per catch rate he's got. He's got five games under forty five yards and in all those games he had like four or five six seven catches. You know, it's

that's the problem there. Cole Beasley from the slot a couple of weeks ago had a really good game, so I did get agg egg RC grade. I think he's startable arts A grade. The Jags have held down most of the tight ends they faced, but allowed Kelsey to explode on them. The difference, he was the only tight end to see over five targets on the Jags. Art's is Averagina eleven per game. He's gonna have no trouble. He's gonna have no trouble at all for a small

Wood and Clement. Uh small Wood is he's starting and he's out snapping. Clement so and he's getting goal and works. So although the Jags are top ten against running backs this season, they are bottom half in the last three weeks. Uh so recently they're not quite as good their number one against backs in the receiving game. That's tough. I do like Smallwood for a C grade and Clement for a bench grade. Though the last three running backs to

play the Jags all topped eighty seven yards. Right, that's good. I'm gonna give a caveat there. It took twenty two carries, and over the last two years, no Eagles back has had more than eighteen carries. That's the problem. Ya, small was not going to get that, but he's going to get the majority. He's barely startable, but I did give him se grade. On the Jag side, London, Blake Bortles has eight touchdowns in the last three games in London.

The Eagles have a lot of multiple touchdowns and or three hundred yards to three of the last four quarterbacks they played. It would be just like the NFL for portals to look just dreadful. Then show up for this you your Super Bowl champion Eagles, and then have a big game. Exactly. That's I gave him a C grade because he could be benched by halftime, or he could be London Blake Bortles. Uh, Cole I benched killing Cole Westbrook.

I also benched. His numbers have gone down every week since Week four for Cole, four games under forty five yards in the last five chart, seven targets out of nowhere last week. But he's still bench. We can't trust him.

I'm giving a SEA grade to Donte Moncrief. Weirdly, Blake Bartles has targeted his big receiver, whether it be the tight end or a big receiver, in most of those eight touchdowns in London, and uh, he's a mon Creef has had thirty three targets in the last four games over seventy five yards, and three of them kind of craped the bat against Dallas. But Phil is allowing the third most receptions and fifth most yards to wide receivers.

I think mon Creeve is playable here all right. As for Hide and yelled in I had this flipped, but I'm gonna flip it again right here. With reports that Hyde might see six of the touches, I'm flipping over to I think I might flip to Bench and both honestly until I see what I think you showed against the Eagles. I was going to give Hide a bench and yelled in a see because through the through the

area the Eagles can be you know, played against. But I'm just benching now with these new reports that Hides canna see more work. Yeah, and for Hide now you can't. You don't really want to start him against a great Eagles run defense, maybe the best in the NFL, and his first game back, we don't know how much the playbook even knows and ever what his usage will be. Yeah, then he gets to buy. Then he gets Leonard for

Net coming back. And this is why I've been saying, you know, there's a real scenario out there where you could just drop Hide or try to trade Hide maybe come now, you know you know that's there? Is that right? I mean? The Fortnet thing is still a huge, huge question mark. And if Fortnette doesn't come back, well, then

Hide becomes a quasi flex player every week. Who knows, But I gotta believe for net by now after after two weeks from now, he's got to be ready, right, you think you'd think Let's move on Brown's taking on the Steelers. Brian Um expected a lot more from the Browns against a terrible Tampa secondary last week, and now they get another bad secondary. Do you feel better about Baker Mayfield this week? And do you think he improves upon a mediocre performance last week? Yeah, you would hope.

So these teams didn't meet in Week one with the Browns entirely different team. Tyrod Taylor started that game. Carlos Hide was on the team. They were also playing in the tail end of a hurricane. Literally that's you never think whatever hit Cleveland, but yeah I did. So let's start with you know, Hide obviously gone. Let's start with

Nick Chub real quick. Hide had twenty two carries in that Week one game against pitt Pittsburgh, but since then, only one other opposing running back has top to eleven carries against the Steelers. UH teams are running under thirty five percent of the time against them. Game scripts do not favor backs on the ground. Chubb actually had twenty one yards on three carries in the opener, so if you extrapolate that seven yards per carry, he gets fifteen.

But he's only in a flexi level play for me because of the volume, it's not gonna be their fifteen carries is very ceilings. So just to see for him, Uh, you think could be a game for Duke Johnson, but it is not. He's on the bench. The Steelers have given up a league low three point five catches and only twenty one receiving yards per game to running backs. Duke Onie Mustard twenty five combo yards in the first meeting on one catch, so he's on the pine Jarvis

Landry complete opposite. He is in with an A grade fifteen targets in week one. Only Adam Feeland has logged more games with at least ten targets and the ten wide receiver touchdowns the Steelers have allowed, which is a lot, six have gone to spot Seavers and Landry had a great game in the opener, so he's a safe, safe play. Antonio Callaway. Though he's on the bench. He's had frying panhans of late, lots of drops, only two targets last week.

Just mentioned that Landry saw fifteen targets in the first meeting. All the other Cleveland wide receivers combined for only eight targets in that first game. Callaway had just one, So he's on the bench. But David and Joku another a for Cleveland. Pittsburgh has allowed the most receptions, the sixth most yards, and been tied for the seven most touchdowns allowed to tight ends. The Ravens tight ends total ten catches for ninety nine yards against the Steelers, and Joco

was in a smash spot here this week. I can't I can't argue that by any means. And then Baker Mayfield, I'm gonna give him a conservative sea here. But you love Njoku, you love Landry. Mayfield is startable h posing the quarterbacks passing forty one times per game against the Steelers, So Mayfield will be thrown in this one. Over to the Steelers side. A lot of good stuff to talk about, starting with James Conner, who Cleveland steamer the Browns one

for a hundred ninety plus combo yards to touchdown. Uh No Levy on Bill yet again. And here's one great stat I found on Twitter from Graham Barfield. Connor is averaging over five yards per carry on seventy seventeen point five percent of his attempts when facing a stacked box. Levan Bell is averaging three point two yards per carry over the last two years when facing stack box stack box on sevenercent of his carry So basically, Connor is just as good as Levy on Bill, there's a stead

he wasn't. I I talked to somebody at the Friday Football Feast yesterday yesterday. Excuse me who was selling Connor on the cheap because he, you know, he firmly believed that Bell is gonna come back and take his job. I'm like, why would that happen? He's playing every bit as well, if not better than Bell ever played, So why would the team suddenly up end their depth chart? And if you remember I did that in the past when Bill was suspended in D'Angelo Williams was playing very well.

Everyone thought when Bill came back it was gonna be a timeshare. But nope, Bill, they don't timeshare. No, they never timeshare. And Connor's your starter when Bell comes back. Connors a starter for a team that never time sharrees agreed can today Antonio Brown obviously your starter and your fans lineup easy A worth mentioning starting quarterback E J. Gaines is out for Cleveland and free safety da Marius Randall questionable to play. So easy A for Brown, I'll

give out Juju Smith Schuster a b uh. He will be facing the latest three names slot cornerback in the NFL, Brian Body Calhoun. Does he have to change his last name like Lake Calhoun anymore? But Juju has average seven catches and a hundred thirty one yards over his last two against Cleveland. Very safe B grade as uh vans McDonald will get as well. He missed the first game between these two teams with Jesse James had sixty yards in that game. Cleveland has given up the seventh most

catches to tight ends. So Vance is in a good spot and Big Ben gets an A at home. That's simple. This is actually his uh first home game against Cleveland. Those missed the last two because of injury. But for what it's worth, in that last meeting, three seventy nine and three might be a safe floor for Ben in this one. Yeah. I like I like that a lot. I think he I've got him at quarterback number six six this week. Yeah, I'd like been a lot in this game. Uh, let's I'm gonna try to squeeze in

the Redskins taking on the Giants. Let's start with Adrian Peterson. Um, I've been I've every week. I'm kind of more and more surprised. I not that I thought he wouldn't be good. I just figured by now we'd be hurt, dinged up things that have just somehow gone off the rails. Nope, he's He's been terrific. H New York has given up a touchdown to a running back in all seven of their games. One way or now. They're not all rushing

but mostly rushing. They rank eleventh and rushing yards allowed eleventh and rushing yards per carry, which is pretty good. And Chris Thompson's still not right. And even if Chris Thompson goes, he's a game time decision. APS got forty one out of the forty five team rushing attempts the last few weeks. A beast b great on Adrian. Don't forget no more snacks, Harrison. So those nobs. That's a great point. That's you're absolutely right. That's very fair point,

by the way, about Matt. About Matt Harrison, our co host. We should start calling him Snack Harrison with one s. Oh. I like that Snack Harrison Harrison. All right, Uh, maybe it's snap because he's one t snat Harrison. Let's go to the passing Chris Thompson. Let me just one other running back mentioned here. I think he might play, but before the injury, he was trending in the wrong direction.

I'm nervous about starting him here. The Giants pass defense broadly has been very good, and they're giving up just forty three receiving yards through the air two runners. So let's just wait and see. On Chris Thompson, I'm seeing get him dropped in some leagues. This is the wrong time to drop him. He's coming back, but I don't want to start him here. Let's go to the passing game. C grade on Alex Smith. Giants pass defense has been beating up pretty badly over the last three weeks, but

that was against Cam Newton, Carson Wentzon, Matt Ryan. Those are elite level quarterbacks. Alex Smith is not playing at that level, especially with his receivers all banged up. Jamison Crowder won't play. Paul Richardson's a maybe Elia Apple is gone and Grant Haley will fill in. Brian, what is Grant Haley? Yeah, it's just he's just some guy. He's a he's a thing now, all right, So you'll get him Grant. I had Alex Smith as a as a bench before the trade. I've got him as a C

grade right now. Paul Richardson, if he goes, you could throw a dart here and gamble that he plays in that. The Giant secondary discombobulated in its first game without Eli Apple. Apple played one side of the field, So if Grant Haley is going to play that side, they can just put Paul Richardson on that side every play if they want to. They could be way more combobulated without Eli Apple.

It could be additioned by subtraction. That is possible. Actually, I looked up Eli's uh uh every I looked up all of his His coverage numbers on Pro Football focuses are actually pretty good. He was actually having a pretty good season. I think he's only given up one touchdown in his coverage all year. Um. Lastly, Jordan read on the bench to what a massive disappointment he's been. If I had told you guys at the beginning of the season that through eight weeks he had play healthy and

playing every single week. What kind of numbers do you think you would have gotten out of Jordan Reed? Way better ones and far better. Right might be outscoring him right now, or it's got to be pretty close watch. I think it is probably pretty close between those guys. Jordan read right now as we enter a week eight, has one touchdown two hundred sixty eight yards and by the way, that's forty yards of game forty. That's it. It's been. It's been a disaster for Jordan Reid. We're

gonna put him on the on the bench. The Giants have been great against tight ends all season. They've given up just four receptions to the position per game. They've only given up one tight end score all year. Flipping quickly to the Giant side, sat Kwon Barkley has a tough match up against Washington, the team that just held Zeke to their second lowest rushing total of his career. No back has top sixty one yards on the ground

against them worst over the past three games. They've held Zeke, Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, and mark Ingram four outstanding RB ones to a total of one thirty rushing yards. That's amazing. So se Kwan is gonna have to do it. It's gonna have to find a way into the endzone, which is done in almost every game, and it's been a series of torutal matchups. I'm tired of saying this for Barkley for once. I want to just have an easy

matchup and even coast through. But this is not going to be a testament to Peterson because he's running so well that are able to control the clock and running might be part of it. All right, Let's go to the passing games C grade and Eli Manning dreadful and his two matchups against Washington last year. Get this against the Redskins last year. One hundred thirteen yards. One hundred thirty two yards. That's a starting NFL quarterback, terrible Redskins

of the twelfth ranked secondary. It's not great, and Josh Norman is awful, but it's a It's a lot better than what we saw against Atlanta last week. Eli's averaging just one touchdown per game, and aside from Odell Beckham, I don't see a lot of positive matchups among his receivers. Just to see grade here. Odell Beckham sums to a C grade as well. Against Washington, He's average one hundred six receiving yards and one touchdown over the last five games,

which I love. Redskins defense has allowed at least two hundred fifty passing years and or multiple touchdown passes in every game. Um, actually, I don't think I sho meant to have him as a SEA. Wait a minute, and I think I need to have him up as an A or B hanging. I'm double checking my notes on this. Oh yeah, he's an A. Sorry A grade on Oldell Beckham had him slott in the wrong place. I'm like reading this, going, this is all good news for Beckham.

The whole thing's good night. What am I talking about? Redskins best cornerback Quinn Dunbar is missing practice with a mysterious nerve ailment and he may not go and so Beckham potentially getting backup work behind him at the cornerback position. So I Beckham a start C grade and I think this one is correct for Sterling Shepherd. Shepherd accounts of Eli Manning's passing yards five reception seventy three yards on average.

This is a This is significant for an offense that passes a lot more than any other team in the league. The Redskins starting slack corner Fabium Row suffering ankle injury and Sunday, and if he doesn't go, Sterling Shepherd could have backup coverage on him too. Then lastly, Evan Ingram quiet last week in his first game back. Redskins rank in the top half of the league and yards fantasy points allowed to tight ends through six games, though they have not allowed a single tight end to go for

fifty yards. I've just got a C grade and Evan Ingram. We're gonna be cautious on on Ingram in this matchup. Um Sterling Shepard could could will vault up to a B start if we If Fabian Moreau is out. Washington has allowed five wide receiver touch shows last like two or three weeks, and part of Josh and Norman has given up almost hey like half of them. He's a disaster out there. He's all He's all name and reputation.

At this point, when we come back, nine players not normally in your starting lineup, take a chance on us after this. This is Fantasy Football Weekly presented my green Bell Premium on the Van size does matter. Hey, it's Mark Rosen at six ft five. It is take a chance on me. Nine players not normally in your starting lineup. Three quarterbacks, three on the backs, three receivers. We begin at the quarterback position. Scott got turned on Mike. I

have mitched Robinsky. I actually really sneakily like both the quarterbacks in this game. But Mitch Dusk, that's you really should have gone with the other quarterback in this game because you sneak here. Everybody's got Robinsky already. Alright, you should have gone Donald on this one. You want me to go Donald? They do, because that's the nature of this bit is I think they're mostly guys. Alright, just pick up off the waiver, all right, Sam Donald, Then

let's go with him the bat. The Bears have been torched two weeks in a row by Brady and Brock over six d and fifty combined yards, three touchdowns. They all multiple touchdowns in five of their seven games. They do leave the league in interceptions with eleven. That's how many Donald has. But Donald has three straight multiple touchdown games, and he just recorded his second and third best yardage days in his in his you know short career. So I see, I think that's the more in there. You got.

Whisky is inside my top ten this week. I like hell has frozen over. We have to find the Mitch Dubisky sound right now. There's no said, there's no there's none of their anymore. There's no sad Trombotsky. We've moved on all right. Hell of an audible at the line of scrimmage there, Scott, Yeah, that was well done. I got Case Keenum at Kansas City. Uh. Four of the six quarterbacks to face the Chiefs so far have notched

at least three forty passing yards and one touchdown. But granted, Keenum was not one of those four quarters sportless as I recall, yeah that I'm just gonna chocolate up to being a little rusty. He has looked better as of late. He didn't need to throw a lot in last week's were out of Arizona, and Emmanuel Sanders did vulture a passing touchdown from him. We'll go with that, Tony there that past first passing vulture touchdown history. But it was

two games prior. Case was well over three hundred passing yards and had two touchdowns in each and posing quarterbacks throwing over forty three times per game, we expect Broncos to be chasing points. So Keenum is my guy? What did Odell Beckham do to Eli Manning owners a couple of weeks ago? That can happen? Derek Carr goes up in in Indianapolis and I'll acknowledge the car wasn't good the last time we saw him but before the bye. But he's been a serviceable fantasy quarterback in four of

oakland six games. And in those four games, get this the average game for Derek Carr three hundred thirty eight yards and a touchdown and a half. That doesn't seem right. So if you can pick in two thirds of his games, he's given you an average of three d thirty eight yards and one and a half touchdowns. Will this be one of his good games? Well? Probably it's against Indianapolis.

And prior to facing Derek Anderson last week, the Colts had allowed three straight huge passing performances, with opposing quarterbacks averaging three hundred thirty two yards and two and a half touchdowns per game. And what about the loss of Amari Cooper? You might be thinking, I say, who cares? Ask any fantasy owner, how reliable Amari Cooper was. Who cares Derek Carr take a chance on me? Like, let's go to our running backs. I have Trent and Kennon

in that same game. I'm loving this game for some reason. For some reason, hit five targets last week. Keep your's four catches for sixty nine nice yards and Paul's five to ten touches from last week are gone. I expect Cannon to see you know, ten twelve touches and he's great in the receiving game. The Bears have allowed seven catches for fifty five yards in a touchdown per game over the last five. Over the last three. All right, I got Ronald Jones at Cincinnati. Now, I'm no Internet doctor,

but Peyton Barber is wearing down. He's been questionable all week, just finally got a practice in yesterday. Already at seventy five carries on the season, that's half of his career total. So his durability is not yet proven. And uh so I'm liking Barbara to get more opportunities in this game against the Bengals, who are allowing a hundred nine yards

per game on the ground to running backs. At five point yard five plus yards were carry and opposing backs are averaging more than six and a half catches and fifty five yards through the year. Jones has always been pegged solely as a two down back. He is a two down ball. He had a fifteen yard reception last week, and he caught three passes the game before, so there's some hope in the passing games. So I got Ronald

Jones in a high school ring affair. Raight He Mostard is, you're probable starting running back for the forty niners this week. He's the last two games he's posted on rushing yards not bad. Matt Brida just can't finish a game. He keeps trying to play, keeps getting hurt. And even if Brita is active in this game, it doesn't mean he's going to be the starter. They want to rest up Brita, and if that that may mean zero carries for Brita

or a much diminished workload. Most importantly for Rahee Mostard. He goes up against Carolina, the worst team against the run all year long, giving up the most rushing into Arizona. Sorry, Arizona Cardinals starts with c That's all he got to go on and why that just happened? I am I'm totally not combobulated right now. Arizona ranks dead last and rushing attempts, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns allowed. I love Raheem mostart. If they rule out Matt Brida, he's gonna be in

my top ten this week. If they rule Breed out. Maybe it's this music putting us to sleep, and maybe that is part of it. We are I can barely take a chance on our wide receivers. We got Taylor Gabriel. I really really love him that I've liked him all season, really, but I really like him this week. He's gonna He's gonna get a good matchup against Buster Screen if he's healthy, which it sounds like he might not be, so he's

gonna get a backup in this lodge. The Jets allow the seventh most fantasy points to wide receiver this year, and eleven different receivers have topped a hundred yards and or scored. Five slot receivers have topped seventy yards on the Jet. I'll admit, like Ceiling Tate Landry, they're good ones, but this is a good matchup for Taylor Gabriel alright, I got New Orleans Ben Watson at Minnesota. Basically any warm body at tight end against Minnesota. I tried to

tout Chris Herndon on this show last week. Was met with some resistance, but hopefully I won't bound a lot, not a lot of resistance. We can check the tape on that one. Watson's in a great spot against the Vikings, allowing more than five and a half catches and seventy yards per game to the position, and despite only having three tight or three touchdowns of tight ends, the Vikings have yielded the fourth most red zone targets to the position.

Watson is third on the scenes and red zone targets, which doesn't sound all that impressive, but it's not bad considering his teammates are Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas. Hey, guys, who leads the Buccaneers receivers in snaps after Mike Evans? Mike Evans is number one? Who is your number two receiver in snaps for Buccaneers receivers? I know the answer? Should I just say? Because it's Adam Humphries. It is Adam Humphries. Is it's not Chris Godwin, It is not

DeShawn Jackson. It is Adam Humphries who plays out of the slot, and that means that he's going to face a Cincinnati defense in complete disarray, not only playing poorly by the way, there aren't twenty nine and passing yards allowed, but most importantly, they're starting slack corner Darky's dennerd out. So that means that Adam Humphreys is going up against backup slot corner Tony McRae. A fantastic opportunity for Adam Humphries. So this week Sundays Humped in Sunday is hump Day

for Adam Humphries. Let's dive back into some matchups Jets and Bears. You just we already talked about half of the players in this Matthew Scott, So we already know that you love the Jets quarterback. You love one of the Jets receivers, baring back as well. Yeah, so we've talked about we've talked about a couple of these guys already, but let's let's jump into the Jets. How about not liking most of his passing game despite liking Donald It's one of those things that it's one of those things

where you know quin Quincy noon one. Once he left a slot, he's kind of disappeared. Uh. Jordan Matthews just joined the team. Robbie Anderson maybe, but he just has one game over forty five yards. He had that huge one, but one game over forty five yards and curse, he's super inconsistent. Uh. Slock guys, slock guys against the Bears thirty six yards, nine yards, thirty six yards, fifty nine yards, thirty six yards. They actually haven't been that great outside

of Cobbs one big week. So I don't love any of them. I'm kind of benching them all. Herndon, I'm giving a c Four Cans could have. Starting tight ends have scored against the Bears. Herndon scored in two straight. He had seven targets last week, two scores off the last two weeks. Um, all those tight ends in those four weeks were between five and fifty yards. Three catches, probably going to get a score as well. So uh.

In the running game, Cannon was my take home. I still like crow well because I think he's going to get enough touches to be viable here. Despite the Bears not allowing a rushing touchdown, they've given three through the air, so cannon again. But but he should get just enough volume to uh to be start where the I can see him getting fifteen seventeen eighteen touches here that that's

startable in my book. All right. On the other side, Travisky was no longer my take com so, so I'm going to give a B grade to him, and I would consider even higher, maybe even an A grade. It's it's very close right on that edge. B plus. If you will, I will. You're allowing it this year? That's awesome, um, only because you pivoted. Okay, okay, okay. Jets have allowed multiple touchdowns in five of the last six games, and

they're not all studs. Tannehill Portals Keenom's drought ended with them over twenty six fantasy points to each of the last three. Travisky is averaging four touchdowns per game over the last three. He's on such such a hot streak. He's also a top ten running back lately too. He has at least three fifty yards passing, at least forty five yards rushing, and multiple touchdowns in each of those three straight games. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's crazy. What is

the happy trombone? Sound like Tony. All right, Burton, I'm giving it all your inner John Philip Sousa, Uh take ume was Gabriel. I really really love him this week. If Robinson does not play Anthony, Miller becomes a sneaky grade. I I don't. I don't love him if he does,

though Robinson I would give a C grade. If he does play Burton, I give a B grade to the Jets are middle of the road against tight ends, but Ebron touched them a couple of weeks ago, and and Burton us four receptions in four last five games, four targets, and all those games for few yards and three of those games. Uh, at least uh Cohen love him this week. He has at least seven catches, at least one touchdown, at least sixty nine nice receiving yards in each of

the last three games. He's averaging over a total yards in that span. Uh. It's a great matchup for Cohen. Howard, However, I'm giving a C grade two and barely because if you take away the high double birthday game, Uh, the Backs have not been been very good unless they get over twelve attempts and you're gonna need that from Howard. He's not getting third down usage. I think he's barely startable. Yeah, I'm with you on that. I like calling a lot better,

I like coming a lot better going forward. Yeah. I considered an A grade for Cohen, but I didn't go that high. I was. Yeah, I think I think heniled it just right. When we come back, Andy Dalton, Yeah, they that Ald offense late an egg for us and what looked like a great matchup and not only got another great matchup? Do you trust your Bengals find out when we come back. This is does Football Weekly presented by green Bell Premium on the Fan. It's the biggest

holiday concert of the year. Jingle presented. He could have just kept playing that, really, I like, uh, seventies six trombone. That's right, that's some happy trombone right there. Let's just make it you're rejoined music from now on. There we go. Mind how many traumbones just to smooth seventy six? You know it would have been the same with seventy Yeah, it wouldn't have been. Seventy seven have been too many. Seventy five would have been too few. John Philip Susan

knew just how many traumbones for that piece. There was a five year scientific study to figure it out. Bucks take Yeah, how does he handle so many bones once? I couldn't tell you. Bucks take onto the Bengals. Let's start on the buck in here side. I it's another in a series of easy matchups for Jamis Winston. It is. And the best part about Winston in the past game with Tampa Bay is their defense is so bad that they're just um. Let me just mention Winston's uh pass catchers,

then we'll get to his grade. I'm giving Mike Evans an a targeted eleven times by Winston last week. Top the hundred yards opposing wide receivers are averaging yards in a touchdown per game against the Bengals, more specifically number ones I've gotten it done against since he's starting. In Week one, t Y Hilton touchdown, John Brown touchdown, Devon Funch's touchdown, Julio Jones nine for one step no touchdown. Obviously, you guys sit no touchdown for him, and we won't

count Miami in this discussion. But an Antonio Brown touchdown, Tyreek Hill touchdown. So I like Evans here. I don't like the Sean Jackson he's on the bench because Adam Humphrey's was charges take a chance of me wide receiver,

and there's no way Scott or myself are benching. Chris Godwin, who I'm giving a B two, has school in four of six games at least five catches and four of his last five, and despite having his BI already, he's tied for the lead in touchdowns from inside the ten yard line with Michael Thomas, and then two other players will be shocking in the stat They're tied for touchdowns inside the ten yard line t Y Hilton and James White,

with Chris Godwin and Michael Thomas. Well, the reason for t Y Hilton is because Andrew Luck can't throw further than ten yards, so that's why take it easy on Luck. And since he has ranked number it is ranked twenty seven thingst number two wide receivers by Football Outsider, So I love Godwin this week. I also like O. J. Howard.

He gets to be The Bengals have allowed seven different tight ends to notch fifty yards indoor a touchdown, and it's no surprise they've allowed the second most catches and touchdowns to the tight end positions, So easy B for Howard but I still have Bread on the bench because he's second fiddle in that game. UH if you miss, take a chance and we have to go back in

uh podcasts. But I have paid barbera on the bench, and Ronald Jones as might take a chance on me running back and then uh Jameis Winson to circle back to him. He gets an A because I love Godwin Evans and Adam Humphreys so much, and over to to since the almost straight a's uh will be one B here, Let's start with Joe Mixon. Over the last three weeks, two running backs have touched the ball for Cincinnati, Joe Mixing fifty six touches, Mark Walton eight, mixing straight Bell cowing.

Opposing running backs are averaging plus touches against the Bucks, who again will be without Vinny Curry and much more importantly, Gerald McCoy will miss this game again, So Mixing in an amazing spot as is a J Green again A for him. Tampa Bay is one of two teams surrender at least sixteen catches to wide receivers and have allowed a one one yard receiver and four of their last six. So easy A for Green, easy A for Tyler Boyd.

Slot receivers have just slayed the Buccaneers this year. Juju Taylor, Gabriel Gabriel, Jarvis, Landry Nelson Aglar even topped eight yards with a touchdown. So Tyler Boyd in a great spot. M J. Stewart is the is the bucks slock cornerback getting destroyed in his rookie year. And some people were saying genre us might be a good dark thrill. I might have been one of those people a few hours ago.

But he is out, not go there. Uh c j Uzoma, I can give him a B borderline A. The Bucks have loved the third most catches and second most touchdowns the tight ends, so Zuma is certainly startable. And Andy Dalton he obviously after all those pass catching grades. Uh don't you want to hear some shocking good news? Sony Michelle at practice today? What no way? But see if he was fully healthy he would miss practice. I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it. When that injury went down,

I'm like, just saw his leg off. Now just amputate. It's over. Is that practice problem is there? Monday night game? So you know you're you really can't you can't do much in terms of trying to guess if he's gonna go and if he does, what his snap kind of would be. But this would suggest that at worst you're you'll be starting him next week. It's an interesting spot to make an Ivory pivot. Possibly, Yeah, you could pick up Chris Ivory, Chris Ivory and then making night night.

I like that. I like that, angle Buck. Here's another game where it's kind of a start everybody game, Broncos taking on the Chiefs. Uh. We already talked about some of the players in here, but let's starting with case Keenum, who was Bryant's take a chance on me quarterback. So let's talk about some of his receivers. I've got a B grade on Emmanuel Sanders. The Chiefs surrender a ton

of passing yards. You already know that, but actually they're only giving up fifty seven percent of their passing yards to whiteouts. They're getting killed by tight ends and running backs out of the backfield as much as anything else. Sanders only had five catches for forty five yards when these teams met in Week four. They B grade on

Emmanuel Sanders, C grade on Damarius Thomas. The Chiefs again they're giving up a lot more to running backs and tight ends, and he hasn't topped sixty six yards in five straight games against the Kansas City Chiefs. He has scored once in his last seven games against the Chiefs. That's to Marius Thomas. The trends aren't great. And though this feels like a juicy matchup, and it is for some other people like Philip Lindsay with an A grade and my number four ranking at the running back position,

Royce Freeman has been ruled out. Ah, do I love it? Career game coming against the Kansas City team that's giving up over yds on the ground and a league wars seventy three yards through the air to opposing running backs. This is a fantastic opportunity for him to write the ship. I think he's gonna get a ton of looks both

on the ground and through the air. This is um And even if the Chiefs take a big lead, which they usually do in every game, I think they've been a heading like eight four of their plays they've played with the lead. Fine, you know, Philip Lindsay, They'll just throw to Philip Lindsay, So one way or another, Lindsay sitting out of potentially gigantic game. Also as they take a chance, I mean candidate DeVante Booker, who's actually got

more targets and receptions than Lindsay has. He will get a lot more use now that Royce Freeman has been ruled out. He is definitely startable available in of leagues. Go get Davante Booker if you're in a pinch, give him a start this week, especially in PPR leagues. Last guy I want to mention Jeff Hireman, is their tight end available in every league in America. There isn't a

smile league fanball too very cheap. Chiefs have allowed the second most yards, the eighth most receptions, and the seventh most Fantasy points to the tight end position three times already an opposing tight end to top seventy five yards. Jeff higher Men is startable this week with a C grade going over to the chief side. Obviously, Mahomes, Hunt and Kelsey obvious A grades my number one, two and

one ranked players at their positions. Let's spend a second on Tyreek Hill, who lines up all over the field, but he spends most of his time in the slot, which gives him a tough matchup against the one remaining really good Bengals corner Chris Harris Jr. Hill was limited to fifty four yards against Denver in week number or did catch nine passes but only turn into fifty four yards. So I've just got to be great on Tyreek Kill one of his lower grades of the year, and a

cautious CE grade on Sammy Watkins. Um he's only getting sixteen per cent of Patrick Mahomes targets. That's just not enough volume. And I love his matchup. He goes up against the aged and ineffective Adam pac Man Jones, but it's I just need to get more catches. I've got a C grade on him because the matchup is so positive, but I don't know that you can trust him to turn his three or four targets into much of anything meaningful fantasy wise. Snaps like a game. Yeah, there's that

too for Watkins, right he's on the field. At least they just never throw to him. What does Patrick Mahomes know that the rest of us don't. Next matchup, Seahawks taking on the Lions, Scott. I loved Chris Carson in this game before the Snacks Harrison trade, but what do you think about what do you think about him? Now? You just got there. He just got there. Well, we'll see how limited those snaps are for snacks. He might

play the whole game, who knows. But I still I still like it because the Lions have just been terrible all us to stand there though. He doesn't have to really learn any play that snacks just got to be snacks. Yes, well, the Lions have allowed at least a hundred and twenty total yards to running back seeing every single game this year and over, it's such a good matchup. Yeah, I still have Carson. I had Carson with an A grade. I still am going to leave it there for now.

But it's it's tep it. It's it's there's a little there's a little more concerned there, Davis. I'm on the bench. I know that his snaps are close to Tart Carson, but he's not getting the touches. And the second running back for Seattle has only had one Okay Fantasy Day this entire year. It's the lead dog that gets it. So Carson with a U in the passing game, I'm giving Wilson a B game a B grade. The lines have allowed multiple touchdowns two qbs in all but one

game this year. Wilson the same, But it's more about this time of year for Wilson. He's notoriously Yeah, in two thousands sixteen his run started Week nine. Last year it was week seven, it was week ten, was week seven. His rook year, it was week eight. This isn't just like a one year thing too. This is his entire career he starts at this point, so I really like it for him. His floor, his rushing floor has been

low this year. He hasn't rushed over twenty five yards yet, but that also goes up in the second half of the year. I think this is a good matchup for it. Um. This defense just allowed seven hundred total yards and five touchdowns to Brady and Brock over the last two weeks,

so I'm giving Baldwin and Lockett B grades because of that. UM. The Lions maybe top ten against wide receivers on the season, but over the last three weeks they're dead last in fantasy points allowed and they only played two games, and earlier in the season they played the Jets, the forty niners without Goodwin, the Patriots without Edelman or Gordon. There's a reason they were ranked so high. It's not because they were good, it's because of the matchup. So B

grades for both Lockett and Baldwin. Over the Lions side. Stafford, I'm given a B grade even though the Legion of Boom is gone. And but they're like top three, top five this year on page Look at the quarterbacks the Seahawks exactly they are. They faced the easiest quarterbacking schedule of any team in the NFL. It's kind of just like, why what I said about the On the other side, the Lions defense, you face some easy matchups and you're

gonna you're gonna look good. The over under fifty makes me really like a little bit of a shootout in this game. And Stafford's thrown from multiple touchdowns in five straight. The Lions are averaging the totals of all the Lions games this year over fifty points per game on average for the total, so I think they're gonna hit it. I give Tate Golden Tate. He's disappeared a little bit over less a couple of weeks. Seattle's been giving up

a few good slot weeks. But it's a revenge game, which was yeah, I was like that or revenge game for Golden Tape be grade for Goladay. Weirdly, not only does he leave the team in the yards in the last two weeks on the season, he has just two fewer yards than Golden Tate and the same amount of touchdowns. He said, he's right there, right there with him. Marvin Jones, I'm giving a C grade. I considered bench. He's in fact,

I wrote he's the third fiddle. It's really what he is. Um, but he is averaging three catches per game, He's getting seven targets games, and uh, the three games where the Lions average thirty points per game, he really did show up. So I'm gonna give him. You know, where he scored over third where they scored over thirty points, I'm giving him a cee. Uh. Benching Roberts, I don't trust that at all. No Detroit tight end has gone over fifteen yards this this season until last week. That's a fluke.

Roberts was a fluke last week. Carry On Johnson, huge game in a perfect storm against Miami. Miami is just terrible, terrible against running backs. But I do like Johnson this week with Riddick out, I'm bench blunt. Uh. He has an opportunity for a touchdown, but that's all you can expect. I still think it's a two to one split. I think we're gonna see four. Four out of the last six lead backs against the Seahawks have topped a hundred

total yards, and those players scored five total touchdowns. I think that's the range for carry on near a hundred maybe a score. R um let's let's Golden takes a free agent after this year. Let's assume he's somewhere else. Yeah, where's your preseason ranking on Kenny Golladay? Are you really asking me this one? I'm asking you because I'm I'm a I'm a huge Golladay hunk. That's probably why you're

right now. Definitely, definitely top twenty four. That's it. It's you can go, oh, I thought you were gonna tell me top twelve. One. I haven't dug into it, but it's like saying instinct the question. In fact, I think dynasty wise, he is a top twenty five asset at wide receiver right now. Um, but yeah, he it's gonna be close. He's gonna threaten top twelve for Me's gone. We're gonna try to work in one quick call. Hi, Tim, thanks to your patience. Jeez, yeah, we don't want to

hear your leaf blower. Sorry about that. Okay, I have a guillotine question for you, all right, somebody in a guillotine league. I love it, unlike all three of us. First of all, I love the league, so it's great format for everybody's loving it's so great idea charts really love fantastic My question, And I've got a few players here to go through. Um, I've been listening to the entire show, but so at running back, I plan to start James Conner and Philip Lindsay. Receiver will be Ja

and Antonio. I'm between Emmanuel Sanders, Sa Kwan and carry on and Chris Goodwin for my flight. What do y'all think? A lot of good players right there. Normally it's all day, but this week is it's a brutal matchup. I still don't think you can bench them though, Like I'm off Kwan any kind of daily format. This is you don't want to pay his price, but man, it's Sanders. It's Sanders or Quan. But I gotta go with the what you'd expect to still be guaranteed touches and a bad matchup.

But I lean Kuan barely over Saders. I just can't bend. Partly, I don't know how you do it. That's my thought too. I I've been riding them all year, so your opinion. Thank you, Tim, Good luck in your guarantine league. It's a blast, isn't it. It's so much It's so much fun. Yeah, absolutely, all right. We'll take a break when we come back. Three hot questions for a panel of experts. Play along at home, see if you can go. Three and oh.

This is Fantasy Football Weekly, pressed by devans Man. Everyone been liver here from my good friends over at town Hall Brewery. Listen, town Hall is now going to offer welcome back to the show. Fantasy Football Weekly week Numbreak coming up. Don't get set your Saturday morning rosters, Sunday morning rosters, I should say Saturday morning set them. Now we've got another early London game. You don't want to

be caught off guard with any late breaking news. Although we don't really have anybody that's coming into that game as a game time decision either, so hopefully, of course, at this time last week we know Melvin Gordon was going to be a game time decision. But we knew he was questionable, but didn't didn't really think he wouldn't go, So you know, I just let's get that squared away. I knew, I just didn't tell anyone. Just be sure you have London Blake Bortles in your lineup before you

go to bed too. Yeah, you don't want, you don't want, you don't want the want to miss out on the American version, Let's let's dive into hot question number one. With Will Fuller done for the year, once Kiki Cutie returns, probably after the bye, is he a wide receiver one? A wide receiver to a flex or a bench Kiki Cutie Scott, I'm gonna go with a wide receiver too, based on just the volume of the wide receiver two

kits in that offense right now. Uh. He had six for fifty one in a touchdown in the one game without Faller, the game that Fuller left in the third quarter A couple of games ago, he had eleven for one or nine, but nine targets after nine he was targeted nine times. There you go, nine times nine times. Yeah, so he was targeted nine times eight catches for eighty two yards in those two and a half quarters after

Faller left. I think he's going to continue to see eight to ten targets when he comes back, if he stays healthy. All right, Yeah, I don't have much to add. I got wide receiver two as well. I'm just looking ahead at the schedule. Broncos next week can't stop anyone

on the ground or through the air. But then the remaining matchups Redskins, Titans, Browns, Colts, Jets, Eagles, all those are more of a plus matchup for receivers and they are for running backs, so they're all great matchups for Cutie. So wide receiver two, I really struggled because he's right on the edge of wide receiver too and flex. For me to be a wide receiver too, he's got to be roughly a top twenty receiver most weeks or better.

Our top twenty, our twentieth receivers are guys. You know, this week we're in the Robert Woods and Emmanuel Sanders ranked area k CT is just not there. I think, yeah, that's I've got a flex on him, despite the fact that I think he's gonna be really good. And two, I'm gonna put numbers on all the players on all the teams that Brian just said down the stretch, here's

where those teams rank. Fantasy points allowed to wide receivers for the rest of the year for the Texans and Kiki Quti twenty second, four, eight, twenty six, and twenty eight. I mean, it's it's just gonna be a series. And by the way, the one one that sounded good Indianapolis was that eight their secondaries degrading before very eyes. The high numbers are good. Fort Yeah, high numbers are good.

Philadelphia is giving up the twenty eight most fantasy points to wide receivers, so it's all positive for him, but I I can't quite get him into my top twenty or top twenty four. Correct answer, Here's here's another point for your flex hamstring injurys Linger and he's been in and out. So how many examples of that do we need? Question number two. Everybody's talking about Amari Cooper's value in Texas, but what about Jordy Nelson's value in Oakland for the

rest of the year. Is Jordy a wide receiver? One wide receiver to flex or bench? So I struggled to think to come up with what Jordy Nelson was when Amari Cooper was on the team, and I looking back, he had scored in three of the last four games, so I guess he was a fix player. Really probably. I've been thinking a super long time about where Amri's three point seven targets are gonna, right, and those are bloated by two games of double digit targets. But I

don't know. I don't think I'm gonna say Nelson was a flex player, and his value doesn't really change because he's the third most targeted player on that team, behind Jared Cook and Jalen Richards. So if anyone's gonna still get more targets, it's gonna be Martavis Bryant, probably Cook, and probably be short. I think Jordy just stays as is, and I'll give him a very very generous flex Creed all right, yeah, kind of the same flex in good

matchups is what I wrote down. I mean, they've trailed in all but one game by midway through the third, and trailed early in the fourth and that other one, so playing catchup was already factored in. This offense isn't gonna be good. Lynches out to the offense is probably gonna stall more. I barely, barely, barely. Think he's a fletch flex play and really just good matchups. You guys are dead wrong. Oh boy, we'll start with your bad math.

First of all, Cooper was getting five and a half targets per game, thirty two targets in six games, and that and at least hyperpose. At least half of those are gonna go to Jordy Nelson, right half of the five and a half. So let's throw a couple of targets at Jourdy right now. He already has fifty more Fantasy points than a Marie Cooper, so he was already better than a Mari Cooper. To your point you made earlier, the team's behind all the time and passing all the

time through sheer volume. He's going to do well rest of the schedule. Only two tough matchups. The rest of them are jaw droppingly easy San Francisco, Indie Chargers Chiefs. And listen to his playoff run for Jordy Nelson Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Denver, and then wraps up. If you play weeks seventeen, you shouldn't.

Kansas City. I'm telling you we're going to have A and B grades on Jordy Nelson in a lot of the remaining matchups again two bad ones, seven or eight really positive matchups the rest of the year schedule, But I didn't want to take up that much time. It's going to be a wide receiver to the rest of the way, vans Hot. Question number three, now that Byron left, which is calling plays for the Cardinals, will he boost David Johnson's fantasy value a little, a lot, not at all,

or does it actually go back words? So you got four options, a lot, a little, not at all, or does it go backwards? Scott, by the way, it is three point seven receptions per game. Uh, this is really tough for me because he was averaging forty seven yards per game and twenty three receiving yards a game. That's seven yards of game. He if he gets up to seventy rushing yards per game in thirty five receiving per game, that's a fifty percent increase and that's easily doable. I

mean easily doable. Increase the touchdowns he did have five touchdowns and what seven games, so that that's not as repeatable. Maybe I'm gonna go with a lot because I think is probably the floor on his increase. All right, Yeah, I'm gonna go a lot too because left Which said he's gonna mirror Bruce Arians usage, and they fell together

David Johnson. And honestly, as long as you don't mirror anyone but Mike McCool you could mirror like a twenty year old Stone college kid using David Johnson and Madden and the ice gonna his production is gonna go way up. Johnson will be on the edges way more, will be utilize the way he should. And uh, the schedule is gonna help him out a lot. I won't dive into it, but it is very meaty, So a lot, a lot,

a lot see Mike McCoy. Uh, David Johnson will be aided a lot by sanity returning to the coaching staff under Byron Leftwich. Now, in fairness, we don't anything about offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich. He's never had an NFL play call at this level. He's never been an offensive coordinator. This thing could go badly, but we're just assuming it can't go any worse than what Mike McCoy did to David Johnson. I hope he runs it up the middle on his very first the fantasy they will, they'll blow up.

The schedule is so favorable fantasy points allowed. I'm not gonna tell you the teams. I'm just gonna tell you the fantasy points allowed rankings for the remaining teams on the schedule for David Johnson twenty three, thirty one, twenty five, sixteen, fifteen, twenty nine, twenty six. Dear lord, none of them below fifth. They're all below, They're all an They're on the bottom half. He won't see a top half defense and fantasy points

allowed to running backs all year. It's a fantastic opportunity for David Johnson by low send out some trade offers, shake things up in your league, and let's talk about the Colts and the Raiders, Brian Colts. Uh feels like another in a series of just easy, easy matchups every week. It feels like it's an easy matchup for the Colts. Talk to me about the cold side already told you, like I always, I like Derek Carr on the other side.

But talk to me about the cold side and Aarondrew luck and if this string of amazing performances are going to continue, yeah they should. And think of it this way. Andrew Andrew Luck is gonna have all his toys back when it comes to t Y Hilton. Jack doil is coming back back. Andrew Luck himself was had to be a little The rust is shaking off with every week.

So Andrew Luck gets an A in this matchup. Because I love Ti t Y Hilton, he gets an A. Oakland is allowing seventy six yards per game to number one wide receivers. Seattle wide receivers total three touchdowns against the Raiders in Week six. Guys like Jeron Brown and David Moore were scoring. So Hilton's great play. But I'm not playing any other wide receiver for indeed, it's as two modeled between Chester Rogers and Ryan Grant. They're all on the bench. But Eric Ebron still on a good play.

Given him a be Even with Jack Doyle's return. Oakland has allowed to tight end touch on two of their last three games. And Ebron seems to be the guy in the red zone for Andrew Luk and then uh talking to running backs real quick for the Colts. Marlon Mack looked great last week. I can give him a B. He was questionable to play, but practicing full yesterday. He should be good to go, and as long as he's in the starting lineup. Nineham Hines and Jordan Wilkins are

not relevant, so they are on the bench. Over to the Raiders. Got a lot of c's looks like my high school report card. Here, Doug Martin will start with him and gets to see, how did you get I don't know, I studied hard. The Colts have allowed more than four point five yards per carry over the last five games, but Oakland ranks dead last in the NFL and yards created before the contact point one point eight.

So Martin is not good and he's gonna have to work hard, so just to see the volume should be there. But that's the only reason he gets a starting grade. Actually, like Jayley Michard Moore in PPR, he gets to see despite already having his by he ranks top ten among NFL running backs and targets, catches and receiving yards, so he is certainly viable in PPR, maybe even in standard UH. Jared Cook always viable. He gets an opposing tight ends have posted monster numbers against the Colts, so Cook is

in your lineup easily. Jordy Nelson is a wide receiver too. I guess I had to see on him as a Yeah, uh, volume coming, a lot of volume coming. Uh. The Colts secondary is banged up, and we respect Oakland to be chasing points. And for that reason, Martevis Bryant now the other starter on the boundary. It gets to see. Uh, secondary receivers have done very well. Comparable secondary receivers Terrell Prior, Cordurell, Patterson, Will Fuller, I'll have scored against the Colts in recent weeks.

So Bryant is a nice hail Mary play. What do you think about I talked about this with p A yesterday on the feast. What do you think about my fan ball DFS play of car to Martavis Bryant in a big tournament like the twenty dollar tournament. We have fan ball account slash radio. Yeah, what do you think about? That is a cheap hook up? Absolutely, Brian came incause that trade went down y salary. I love Yet you cleared up a lot of cap space and you said that's how I get That's how I get tat Gurley

in my line up. Our kareem hunt into my might have high ownership and something like that. You will and uh and and Derek Carr you'll take a chance to the quarterback for that very reason. And that is the end of that chapter. It is the end of that chapter. Let's um, let's try to work in one more matchup, Ravens taking on the Panthers. That's me. Hold on, I gotta go to the right page. Here we go. Let's start on the Baltimore side. In the passing game. Joe

Flacco throwing forty three times per game. You don't think of the Ravens as being this past happy offense. We think of them as a conservative organization. Everything else. Nope, already three times per game. Joe Flacco, with all that volume, he usually ends up with decent maybe not explosive stats, but decent stats. This week he plays against the Carolina defense that's allowed exactly two touchdown passes in five straight games. And I think there's another two coming for Joe Flaco.

I think this is the same guy that through yards in the game last year. How about that? Right, it's a there's a very different offense. And if I think he's got two touchdown passes coming, I gotta like John Brown right your angle. Here is a deep hook up. He's averaging twenty yards per catch. Which is ridiculous. Caroline is allowing the fourth most receptions of twenty yards are more so the deep poke up coming for John Brown like him be grade also, And by the way, Flacca

was a B grade as well. Michael Crabtree C grade. He gets more targets actually than Brown does. It's a hit and MS Panthers defense've had some good games. They actually did a nice job against A. J. Green and Julio Jones. But I think it's um It's maybe on the tougher side of the matchup for Crabtree, but just through sheer volume, I think he ultimately gets something done here. He'll run the overwhelming majority of of play against inconsistent

cornerback Dante Jackson. Who else do we like? Alex Collins has a B grade in this one, even though, uh, even though they're giving up over four point six yards per carry, which is a lot opposing running backs, they're only rushing eighteen times a game, fourth fewest against the Panthers, and so volume may not be the friend to Alex Collins. And as I mentioned earlier, again, everything seems to go through Flacco's arm right now, So Mynie Collins actually catch

a couple of passes which you will do per game. Uh. Carolina kept Phillies committee in check last week, but they've given up big games to opposing lead backs in each other game. So I think Collins is still very startable here with a B grade, but he doesn't get a ton of volume and Bunk Allen is on the bench. Let's go to the Carolina side. Cam Newton's toughest matchup of the year. If you're ever gonna bunch Cam, this is it. We had a guy this morning. We told

him Mayfield over Cam. Yeah, I've got Cam way down at quarterback number sevent You probably have another quarterback on roster that I like, bar Um. The Ravens secondary is awesome. They ranked number two in passing yards allowed, number three in passing touchdowns allowed. And what's more, Newton isn't likely to rush for a score. The Ravens haven't given up a rushing touchdown to a quarterback in twenty five straight games. So Cam Newton's brutal to start this week. Let's go

staying with the passing game. The only other guys who can consider starting or Devin Funches, who has hit the one hundred yard mark just once in his last thirty nine games. How does it? How does any number one receiver only get one hundred yard game once in thirty nine games. You know what you're gonna get from him. It's sixty yards a decent chance of a touch down. He's scored him three the past four games. Um, and

it is a touchdown that could salvage his game. The Ravens give up the second fewest yards to receivers, but they are giving up one touchdown per game to the position. So if there's gonna be one touchdown catch to be had here, it'll go to Funches. So we'll try him at a see grade. Greg Olsen has been miserable since his return, but the Ravens have had some difficulty with tight ends, allowing the most receptions eleventh most yards at tight ends. They hadn't given up a score to a

tight end until last week. Um, I've got to barely see grade on greg Olsen only because he's a tight end and the position so thin. Really. Lastly, Christian McCaffrey also his toughest matchup of the year. Baltimore is allowed the fewest fantasy points to running backs. They ranked fourth in yards per carry. They've only given up two rushing touchdowns all year, and they lead the league in the fewest receiving yards, the fewest catches, and the fewest touchdowns

allowed to running backs. There is no angle of positive positivity for Christian McCaffrey from a matchup standpoint none. He's a guy he's gonna struggle mightily that you're alluding to, but by Low on him after this game, I feel like, yeah, this is gonna be like his third or fourth straight bad game potentially, And you're right, this might be your by Low moment. It's just been a series of tough matchups for Christian McCaffrey. We'll take a break. When we

come back. Another set of matchups for you, including Packers taking on the Rams. Is there anybody to bench in this game? Can you go right back to Geronimo Allison. We'll talk about that when we come back. This is Fantasy Football Weekly presented by Green Bill Premium on the Van. Hey it's Mark Rosen. You know we're all different. So the Greater Twinsities Hot the Dealers offered. Welcome back to the show, Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan, year number

Betty, I wonder if he goes by Mitch or Mitchell. I can't wait to meet him at the at the banquet. Yeah, it's gonna be great. Maybe you could be his date because you get to bring you get to bring a date, um, and sometimes it'll be like fathers will bring sons some

I'm down for that, don't worry. Yeah, I mean that, sure, absolutely, I think you'd be down for a lot after that.

As you already know, you should be playing the free to play Crush Charts Challenge

at grain belt dot Com. Every point by which your team beats my team gets you an entry into the end of week drawing, and the beauty of it is no salary gap. You you basically just a superstar roster. It's like Girly Chimera. You just Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers are my starting quarterbacks. It's great. You don't ever get that luxury any other time. We love that, so encourage you to uh to give that a shot. Grain

belt dot Com. Let's dive back into the matchups. Packers take on the Rams, Scott and you know, yeah, start everybody. But I've gotten a ton of questions about Geronimo Allison in particular, and I want to know what you're thinking. I I like him here, Yeah he has. He has at least sixty yards and twelve and a half PPR points in all four games that he's played this season.

The second receiver, the second receiver for the Packers has had at least six targets in every game this season, and he has at least five catches in three of his four games. I think this is gonna be a shootout with that fifty six and a half over under. So Allison is the guy I actually like more than Cobb. I gave Allison a B grade. I gave cop a C grade. I don't know if he's going to play exactly. He practiced fully. He's questionable, but he practiced fully. Here's me,

here's my concerns. Will he play? And he hasn't top thirty yards since Week one, Heelan and Sanders had good games in the slot against the Rams. Everyone else disappeared. Uh, Cobb, I mean watch it. I want available in a lot of leagues. Yeah, I want pieces in the shootout, but he's barely a C grade for me. Adams is an obviously, and so is Rogers. I mean Rivers, Will some Keendom, Cousins all had great Fantasy days. Even Carr had three hundred yards. Teams have to keep up, and Adams is

the top option. Both A grades there. Jimmy Graham I gave a C grade to he has twenty targets and a hundred eighty yards over the last two weeks. But those twenty targets he only averages five and a half per game with Cobb and Allison in so he expected drop here. Um, yeah, even though it's going to be a shootout, I expect to drop so. Uh. The Rams their teenthins tight ends, but that's partially due to huge

games against Kittle and Cook all the others. No otherwise, no other tight end had over twenty five yards except for those two. So I'm a little hesitant there. The running game. I'm benching it because how many times at Green Bay running back his top sixt yards this year rushing one just once and they only have two rushing touchdowns. Yeah, it's just it's a wreck. Yeah, here's at this point, I'm done guessing when Mike McCarthy will play Aaron Jones. I'm going to wait for him to play Aaron Jones

a bunch and then I'll react to it. I'm done guessing ahead of Yeah, the Rams are allowing four point six yards per carry to running max, which is seventh worst, but everyone abandons the run against them, so nobody can rack up enough yards. Uh. On the on the Ram side, I got a's on everyone. Cup is doubtful and very very very unlikely to play, so I'm benching him. But I got I I don't even know that I need to go through it. But Reynolds I'm benching as well,

just to put that out there. He has two targets in the last two weeks with Cup out, which I thought you'd do more. Yeah, it's not happy. Yeah, but you're starting Girley Cooks Woods Golf. They're all a grades great. Yeah, Yeah that's all Yeah, No, no more really needs to be said, all right. Forty nine take on the Cardinals. Brian, I love where Hee most. He was might take a chance to me running back. We talked about him earlier,

A great chance of going here. Even if Matt Breed is active, I don't think he's gonna get a lot of work in this game as they try to finally get him healthy. No, you know they bread forced himself on the field last week, lasted about five carries. So yeah, so Monster, it's a great play either way. And bread A, if he is active, I think you gotta air on the side of caution and sit him if you ow. And I said, we'll say he's on the bench regardless

of being active or not. Let's go to the already when was already one of my favorite players, and now he is my favorite player. George Kittle say, this man wants to score for his fantasy owners. He doesn't care. Did you see that last team? Did you see this? For those who didn't hear this, While his touchdown was getting reviewed, he was picked up on micro whatever saying Tara, I gotta get this one from my fantasy owners. He didn't know it for himself. He didn't want it for

the forty niners. He wanted it for his fancy. Yeah, these teams have met a few weeks ago. By the way, I Kidi had five catches for eighty three yards. That's a safe floor here. He gets an A for me. Brual matchup, though Arizona has been great against the tight end positions. But that's the only thing, haven't They haven't faced a lot of good tight ends. Jordan Reid had four for forty eight and a touchdown. Tyler Higbee managed

to score. Yeah, if you're counting up Matt Lacos as a competition at the tight end position, then they're tough. Kid will gets the A mark, he's Goodwin gets the opposite. He's on the bench. He's gonna draw Pat Pete. It's that simple. I don't like good Win in this game. Pierre Garson not expected to play, not that you're contemplating starting him, but here's a sneaky play. A bonus take com is Trent Taylor, who had seven catches for sixty one yards in a touchdown when these teams made a

few weeks ago. And slot receivers have been doing very well against the Cardinals because Pat Pete will not travel there. Manny Sanders six for one oh two and a touchdown, Adam thieland eleven fore and one. Granted Trent Taylor is not those guys, but then target totals for slot receivers and games before that, Doug Baldwin coming off injury saw seven targets, Taylor Gabriel saw ten. So Trent Taylor is gonna be involved in this game. So he gets a CEE for me. But CJ be Third is on the bench.

I'm not gonna go into that too much. More over to day, Uh the Cardinals side, David Johnson, gonna give him an a here, managed to score twice in the first meeting, despite the fact that Mike McCoy was employed by the Cardinals at the time. But uh, San Francisco allowing a hundred and thirty combo yards and one and a half touchdowns for games to run per game to

running backs left, which is gonna get Johnson involved? Wan this one a plus for me actually with David Johnson, Christian Kirk and give him a see he's starting to emerge. At least seventy five yards and or a touchdown in three of his last five games, had three catches for eighty five yards in a touchdown in the first meeting. The Niners have allowed four wide receiver touchdowns in the last three games, and they could still be without Richard Sherman.

So Kirk is viable and so is Larry Fitzgerald. Just to see for him though. He was quiet in the first meeting, but he wasn't near on uh PPR leagues. He's tough to sit. So he just gets a C for me, as does Ricky Seals Jones. Uh, this is tight ends. Just you actually sounded constipated saying his name. Ye R s J was targeted six times in the

first meeting. Did not catch a pass though, but the usage was there, and uh, Jimmy Graham has put put a big numbers against San fran and Uh so rs J is viable in a depleted tight end landscape, but Josh Rosen on the bench. Let's wrap up this sigment with Vikings and Saints on Sunday night. From the Vikings side, you're gonna see a lot of passing from Kirk Cousins

in this game. Saints are the best run defense and the Vikings offensive line just isn't up to the challenge of trying to maintain a running game that, in fairness has been good the last two weeks, but won't be here Vikings Uh Saints giving up just two point eight yards per carry to opposing running backs number one in the league, forty seven yards per game to opposing running backs number one in the league. So tons, and by the way, that's why Lottavias Murray's on the bench in

this game. I don't think he's gonna get enough work here. Your only hope is a goal line run from Lottavia's Murray. You're playing for touchdowns, and we can't say for sure that that's going to happen. This game goes through Kirk Cousins armed. I believe the Vikings will be playing from behind due to the injuries that they've got, and Kirk's gonna have to throw to keep up. And the Vikings throw the third most times per game anyway, And so I've got an a grade on Kirk if not if

only through volume, if nothing else. Although the Saints secondary has improved over the last three games, giving up two d seventy yards and one scored per game over the last three, but Cousins will get there on volume. I expect passes in this one. Adam Theland a great matchup. I had a good matchup last week, great matchup this week too. He draws slot cornerback P J. Williams, who's

one of the worst at his position. He is allowing a quarterback passer rating of one hundred forty six against him. P J. Williams, and he's going to cover Adam Theeland, the hottest receiver in football. I love I love Theland's opportunity here. Stefan Diggs gets the flip side of that and potentially very tough matchup again. He gets Marshawn Lattimer, who typically shadows the opponent's best outside receiver. Lattimer got roasted in the opener in Week one, but since then

he's been much better. Get this, Lattimer's averaging twenty nine yards per game in his coverage. That's it. So Diggs is only a beast start in this game. Um Eli Apple should not be a factor. I don't think this early in the game. Then, Kyle Rudolph. Saints have surrendered only one touchdown to a tight end all year, and since Week one they haven't allowed any tight end to reach even thirty yards. So Cal Rodolph sums down to

a C again. I think only through volume. Do I like him here, and ideally if he played a different position, he wouldn't be startable. But again, you gotta basically start every plausible tight end and fantasy. So I give him a C grade here. Saint side so many people that I like against the injury depleted Vikings. Anthony Barr has been ruled out of this game. I don't think Xavier Rhodes is gonna go. I think the warm up they'll try to see what the ankles like uh on on Sunday.

But even so, this is it's it's a super dicey start here. Michael Thomas is an A grade no matter what. He's an A plus grade if Xavier Rhodes can't go, and if we like Thomas that much, obviously Drew Brees is an A grade here as well. Um and one of the key reasons Anthony Barr is not gonna play. And if without Anthony Barr, that means Alvin Kamara, who would normally be covered by Bar, their fastest of their linebackers,

doesn't have that. Trent Cannon just put up seventy yards on the Vikings through the air last week, much of that coming after Anthony Barr was out, so they're gonna do the same things coming Comari's potentially sitting on a very big game. He's got an A grade as well. While we're talking running backs, mark Ingram gets a B grade because the Vikings is just a straight up run defense is good and Linval Joseph should come back. In the last three outings, the Vikings have only given up

fifty six yards on the ground per game. Only Todd Gurley is top fifty nine yards individually against the Vikings all season long. So I've just got a B grade on mark Ingram in one of his toughest assignments of the year. Back to the passing game for a minute, Tray Kwon Smith will draw Trey Waynes and a speed versus speed matchup. I don't think he gets a lot of receptions here, but he could turn one of them into a long game. It's a high risk higher word play.

A C grade on Trey Kwan Smith, a C grade on Cameron Meredith because the Vikings are without their slack cornerback Mike Hughes and his backup Mackenzie Alexander might be forced to go outside and play Michael Thomas. If Xavier Rhodes can't play, and I don't think Xavier Rhode is gonna play, so Cameron Merrit a sneaky start as well, and Ben Watson was to take a chance on me tight end that Brian told you about earlier. We'll take

a break when we come back. Premature Speculation our final matchup of the day, and your phone calls in lightning round. This is Fantasy Football Weekly, presented by devanies on a Man. It's Saturday oct What's new today on the Free I Heart Radio. After final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly, what's

coming up with you? And tell me? We've got over time with Carly Zooker, some vikings rewind, and then we're gonna join Wisconsin and Northwestern had progress at walk all right, that's as much Wisconsin as I want is in progress, thank you? Currently tight at seven. Premature Speculation is a segment we do every week in which we identify a player who we think you should pick up now that will be a hotter waiver wire pick up next week,

but he's already on your roster because you're a week ahead. Scott, who you got? You know, we kind of talked about this a little bit with Jordy Nelson, But I think Martavis Bryant, who's only eight percent ESPN, It's possible you've gotten him. You've got him already, but the numbers on the sites don't show that you do. So who his schedule is on REO, with that Pittsburgh Cincinnati, Denver playoffs schedule and a lot of other great matchups, I put

down Martavis Bryant all right. My prespect is a little more for the Dynasty end or super flex crowd. But I'm going New York Giants Kyle because quite simply, Eli Mann cooked and Uh from the University of Richmond, smaller school, big body quarterback picked in the fourth round. The guys are gonna see what they have in him, and there are a couple of good spots coming up. Uh next week at San Francisco could be a viable start for Kyle or the following week at home against the Buccaneers.

Is any good we'll find that. I mean what I'm saying, it's we'll think the weapons New York has and why don't they trade from I don't know what are we allowed to do? Dynasty ones now? Guess yeah, I'm gonna throw it out. Chris Chris Warren of Oakland. Yeah, there you go, Chris war next year, get him. Stashum and I are yeah yeah, because Martin and Binch, I don't know they're not back start back. He might be peewee football prospects too. If you need him, yes, I do, Yeah,

contact Jiffanni. Bernard is due to come back as early as next week, and you want to have You want to have the handcuff in this deal if nothing else, and then Bernard likely Mixing is getting a lot of run as a workhorse right now. I think they want to work Mixing. The want to work Bernard in once he's healthy, which could be as soon as next week.

When reports start showing up on Wednesday of next week about how Bernard has returned to practice, other people are gonna go swoop up, swoop him up, and you want to go get him. Now, let's do our final matchup, Scott. It's the Monday Night or Patriots against the Bills. As we mentioned earlier in the show, Sony Michelle shockingly practicing.

But I don't think you want to you want to start a here, No, But luckily this is it feels like a game where you have several potential pivots or at least a pivot or two if you can go get Ivory right. Um for on the path side, I still gave Brady and a I think they're going to

get ahead the bull the Bills. The Bills defense has been pretty good against against quarterbacks, but Brady has at least three hundred yards and our multiple touchdowns in every game except for except for that Lion's dud um And if you look look deeper in the numbers against the Bills, I mean Cousins and Rogers just barely missed three hundred Flacco rivers and luck all had three touchdowns. I'm fine

with Brady. Hey grade A grade for Gordon. I'm looking for your reaction on that, because I yeah, pent the snaps last week, last two weeks ago, and not just his first hundred yard game over seventeen yards per catch with the Pats, sixteen targets over the last two weeks. He's the main guy there. B grade for Edelman, Uh, mainly because I don't think this becomes a shootout. I think the Pats get up and then they hold it down own Um. He's average ade eight targets over and

over five catches per games. Since return returning, scored in two straight um Hogan, I am benching now. His only two games came in his two good games came in complete shootouts, and I don't think this is a shootout. Gronk B grade on the night side, he's gronk. On the bad side, he's been limited. Uh, he missed last week randomly. He tends to be very injury concerned. It's Monday night and the Bills have been very tough against

height ends. I if you can, I would almost put him in your flex and possibly consider guys like him and Michelle. Get him in your flex so you can possibly pivot to Ivory, who might get the start over there. If McCoy doesn't go, James White A grade just if Michelle doesn't go, especially just a definite eight grade. He has seven touchdowns this season and his averaging over ten targets per game in the last four, which is unreal bottom.

Buffalo sits bottom ten of NAY points allowed to running backs and has given up an average of a three rushing yards to opponent to opposing backfields over the last four games. So a grade there. If Michelle does play, I think I would give him an A grade. I think I would. Yeah, we don't even know how much runn he'd get on that knee if I need very Oh man, I I wouldn't start him, though, I'd only

put him if you can pivot. That's the only way, the only start him as you can pivot to somebody else on the Monday night, or if he doesn't go like Chris. I but but James Wedge is the one I'm I'm not even remotely concerned of because of his passing game work. On the Buffalo side, I'm sitting everyone I've reased the only one that possibly could get a C grade for me if we know McCoy's out, which

we don't at this moment. But otherwise I'm mentioned everyone all right, and we don't need to say anything more about Buffalo bills than that it is time for lightning round. That means one question among two players. One question among two players. You will be able to listen to your answer, probably on your radio, so zoom. We go through the quickly. A lot of times have already moved on to the next the next person in line by the time you're

listening for an answer. Ben, you are first. All right, guys, he'll be quick. This is gonna be rough. The standard scoring non PPR, I guess Barner or hide. I guess Kenyan Barner or I would go hide. Yeah, you gotta go hide because if Michelle does play, Barner might not even see the I think from guaranteed touches. Dan, you're next. I have both PPR and non PPR. Do I consider starting Mostart over Um McCaffrey. Yes, if they rule Breed out,

for sure, definitely would. And even so, if you're in two different leagues, I might split it in half and cover your bases. But frankly, most it's got way more upside problems. You may not hear about breed until later because that's late. It's a late game. That's a good point. You got a bank on McCaffrey. Yeah, I don't know. I see I've play Moster. Yeah, but I I I'm a high risk guy. Ryan Hello, Yes, JAYL Rohard or Booker,

uh Richard Safer. He's got He's seven catches and there's seven at least not a big He's got a great matchup. But man, it's DeVante Booker. I just can't do it. Is some great talent If it's PPRS, Shard is it PPR standard. Oh, we don't know because he's gone. Ron Ryan. Now, Hello Ryan, he going it? Say it again? Goliday or lock it Holiday? Lock it? Okay, I mean lock it because they're less matals defeat on that offense than Orange Detroit. John your next as we need Troubinsky or a rod Um.

It's Rogers Love Rogers my number two quarterback this week and a fantastic matchup. Hello Diana, Hi, guys, this whole question. I'm going against Bryan's garbage team and I have to choose between c Ja Bathard or Alex Smith. Brian, you should answer it. Then you can't. Brian can't answer it. Scott Fish Bowl where I failed to start Lamar Miller by the Lake because I went to a hockey game. Yeah, yeah, it was. What should Diana do? I think I had Bethard rated higher this week, but Alex Smith has a

far better matchup. Yeah, that's that's pretty ugly. I'd go beth just hoping for some rushing yards. Is that far that makes sense to get points per first time? Brian? Please? Phil? Hello? Hey there, Um, would you chance wrong or I'm blinking? But the tight end from the Bear story tray Burton easily. Yep, ty Burton. Burton's correct, Yeah, the wrong thing, it's all. It's all. The difficulty of course here is that he's Monday night, so we don't know his status and you've

got to make a call sooner than that. But it's Buffalo, right, hold on, I lock and Phil, what's yeah? I'm actually hanging out, but sorry if I hung up on you, I apologize. Bron statline historically against Buffalo is absolutely ridiculous. It's lunacy looking at that game. Long those games and Buffalo, baby, let's try Emily Hello, Hi, Yeah, finitely from Jacksonville. Again, it was Golliday or Sterling Shepherd. Brian, I think you're up on this one. Yeah, we're waiting on news of

the Washington slot corner. Right he's out. What was his Nameabi and Moreau. If he is out, it's Shepherd with a bullet, but I would probably en Gala day otherwise, Brian. Hello, Yeah, full point Golden Taper Johnson, Golden Tate with a really juicy matchup this week, like like him a lot at the revenge game hadn't sound as much as I was hoping. But let's see here. I think I can go to Joe. Hello, Joe, Hi, Hi, Dan, Rudolph or Joko. Oh if this is coming to me,

I have been joking with my tight end one. All right, there you go, Bill. Your next PPR Travis Kelsey or Robert Wood. It's Kelsey or Robert Kelsey. Three straight over a hundred yards against Denver and that's going to continue. He is fantastic. Yeah, that's nice, Rod. Hello, the rest of the year. Question half point PPR Ingram or Michelle. I'm gonna take the healthy back. I'm gonna take the

guy who doesn't have a reoccurring knee problem. So I would I would take Ingram over Michelle rest of the way, which I think is a reasonable way to go. Andy, Hello, you guys, half point PPR shub or do I go with like faced out? Sorry? Al right, Andy, I don't, so we'll go with somebody else. Go with you? You're next, Tim Well, yes, half point GPR. Hold onto Ronald Jones or Pip All right, Oh my gosh, this is such a good week for potentially Ronald Jones. But I still

can't even start him because I'm not sure. I'd probably I'd probably go with Charches prespective Geo. Okay, Kevin your next, Kevin? All right? So see the deal is if you try to listen to it on the radio, it doesn't work. So yeah, you gotta just you can't listen to the radio while you're on hold. Natalie, Hello, Hello, Standard Lead, Tyler Lockett or Sterling Shepherd. Okay, Uh, lock it regardless

of the Washington's Lot Corner status, unlock it. I like our three female callers today, and a reminder we've got we've got chick chat coming next week to your opener, I think is next week. I think it's chick chat next week. All female callers were already looking forward to that. Paul, you're next. We'll stick list the locker questions half point

GPR Locke or Alice. I'm sticking with locket here, although I liked the Ellison matchup a lot, and I think there's a lot of points to be had there, but I'm gonna lock it's what's not to like about the lock It's done all season, Mikey, and it is a good matchup. Mike. You next, Hi, Uh, Standards League Chris Godwin or Dortan Howard? All right? Is this mine? Yes, it's yours standard. You said, I guess, I guess Howard's the safe play Andrew your next? Agreed? If I could

listen online, I'd like to listen online. Listen online. Uh, I got cousin or mahomes homes every week but barely, but it is mahomes. It's mos number one. Can't bench homes. Although again, I think Kirk is sitting on a really nice game Taco your next. Hey, guys, a non PPR. Another Locke question, lock it or dirty? Locket? And I'm I'm Jordy Guy. I've suddenly turned into Jordy Guy out of this Crow. Every single caller has lock it on their team. It does seem that way, doesn't it. Nobody

likes playing him, even in a good matchup. Pop drop and lock it? Uh, Josh your next standard leaf or Gordon? Oh, Josh Gordon easily for me? Yeah, agreed. Uh, We're We're Crow. Well, it's got Chicago. They haven't given up a rushing touchdown yet this year. Uh. If you have missed a part of the show, check on the podcast Cafe and fan on demand, also on iTunes.
