Week 8

Paul Charchy in uh No, Matt Harrison. We've got Scott Fish back. Hello, Scott, what's going on? Good to talk to you. Brian Johnson I would normally say as always, but not the case. Took last week off slacker. I know, sorry about that. It's good to be back though I missed you. Guys. It is our annual deer hunting Would those show every year for now, I don't know, fifteen years and Tony, this is important for you for fifteen years on deer hunting opener, Ladies, it's all about you.

We are dedicating our phone lines to you. You've got first priority all day and we only go to the guys if you don't show up and most most every year you guys show up. I've already feel free to keep doing it. Um it's chick chat week at Fantasy football week weekly, and now deer hunters. That doesn't mean we don't love you. We totally understand you've got dual

passions in your life, fantasy football and deer hunting. We we've got another tradition going where people text me if you're listening, not text me, they tweet me photos of what their their dear stand right now. So here's what I'm looking for. If you're in the deer stand and you're listening, you're streaming the show right now, I am retweeting your your tweets of what you're seeing right now in your deer stand. Now, it's got to be a lie.

I want a photo. I want a photo from today, don't show don't send me a photo from last week with sunny skies and fifty or last year sunny skies fifty degree weather. It should be miserable like it is here and throughout most or not all of Minnesota. UM, and we'd like to we'd like to celebrate the fact that you listen from the deer stand. I almost took a deer out with my car as a celebration last

night of all places on one hundred. That's crazy. Uh so we'll retweet to all fifty summit thousand of my followers will be like, why, why in the world has Charged doing this? You'll find out. So there we go plenty to get to. Now. Oh, by the way, ladies, the phone number six five one nine five three to six. Now, when you're twenty plus years of doing the show, charges a guy ever called in after maybe like taking himself

or hit himself in the junk to know. More commonly, it's the six year old girl who's trying to in fact, in classic fashion, trying to find out if her dad if she quote should start chris fulm falla And so that's you know, that's the tricky one, remember, because it's so adorable. So with a six year old it's pretty cute. We don't encourage that because seriously, we want we want more women to play. We love the women play. This is a great opportunity for us to um to help

make a comfortable environment for our female listeners. Before we dive into all of the meat of the show, let me mention this ran into this on Twitter and was surprised that this is even a thing. But there are a handful of people out there. When the Deshaun Watson news broke, was it Wednesday, I think it was Wednesday. On Wednesday, some people immediately as the news was breaking traded away to Shaun Watson at full value, not disclosing

the injury. That's a d bag move right there. Commissioners, we talked about this all the time about how you you know, we we think you should basically never veto a trade unless it's extraordinary circumstance that has nothing to do with the judgment of the two players. But this is a scenario where Commissioners, you can jump in and you can undo that trade. Because if you're trading somebody who is hurt or maybe hurt and you just have you happen to find out before the recipient of the trade,

that's not that's not a legitimate trade. You have to disclose that. Also, the trades that are already you know, hanging out there that had been proposed with Watson involved, and then that same thing, yes, the same thing, that's a great point, same exact thing. So commissioners, yes, you and you can get involved. Oh, we're already getting our first our first pictures from deer hunters in the deer stand in the middle of the fields and forests. We

love it. That's fun um at Paul Charchion. By the ways, the Twitter feed for that Commissioners, you can get involved on the Watson deal and you can undo those trades, and you should. When I said this on Twitter, outrage from people whore like caveat emptor you know, if you're the buyer, it's your job to make sure that everybody in this deal is healthy and you should be googling it and blah blah blah, what what is wrong with you?

That's absurd. People that help trades that are already sitting right and trades that are already out there or whatever else. You don't hit the submit button until you've done your research. I think that's that's not that's not accurate. People have jobs and lives and you can't always know. All right, let's move on plenty you get to in the course of the show. We've got take a chance on me, five tough questions, premature speculation, Lightning, and we'll break down

all of the matchups light week, which is great. We love that part um and ladies, we've talked about taking your calls today just the the reality is that will probably happen in about forty minutes. So we already have a couple of a couple of female colors on hold. Howe, I hope you will continue to hold, but the reality is that that's probably coming up. In the third segment of the show, we begin with our first matchup of the day, and that is Falcons taking on the Panthers.

Scott Falcon's offense obviously has been extremely frustrating and now they face a very good defense in the Panthers. So it doesn't feel like this is an opportunity to get healthy. It's yeah, it's rough. I don't like this matchup at all for really anybody. But I am giving a se grade to Ryan in the passing game. He couldn't get out of his funk against the Jets. The Panthers are

top five against the past. It's gonna be tough. They've They've held seven of their eight quarterbacks they've faced under two and thirty yards. Brady the only one over that, but Matt Ryan has had at least two on thirty and a touchdown every game. He's been fairly consistent lee average this year, so I'm still going to give him a starting grade. Julio Jones, He's had at least seventy yards in five last six games, but no opposing receiver has been above ninety on the Panthers, so I think

maybe he's gonna land right in there. I'm giving him a B grade. I I'm still a little positive about Jones this week. I don't know that he scores though. Don't forget what was it three hundred yards in his last game against Well It was actually the that was the first of the two games. That was the game in which ben ad been Wickery was summarily fired. After the game and we we we started a whole new adjective or a whole new now we have been That's right,

Julio ben wickerized him. Wow. Yeah. So also Mohammed Sannu, I'm giving a B grade to mostly because he's going to be in the slot going up against captain Munerland, who's terribly graded by PFF, and he's got a five inch height advantage averaging eight and a half argets and seventy yards per games since he's come back into the lineup. I like that matchup. I thought the Vikings might miss captain Manlin more than it turns out they have. That was I think that. I think the front office got

it right. Yep, I do too, Hooper, I'm I'm putting on the bench. I said last week he's been hot and cold. This week he gets a top ten defense against that ends Freeman. I would give him a C grade, but I know that you have Jordan Howard, Melvin, Gordon McKinnon, Bell Pats running backs all on by, So I'm gonna give him a low B grade against a very tough defense. But they haven't allowed to running back over ninety total yards.

But Freeman's gaining seventeen touches a game and the Panthers are allowing five receptions for a game, So maybe there's some Maybe there's just enough to get him to a low B. There. Coleman, I'm probably benching, but I'm probably bench. We're letting the fact that it's a brutal bye week affect our ranking. It's terrible it is. In a full week, I think Coleman would probably be an exactly because he is getting ten touches at game, and he does even

though he hasn't cut a lot of passes recently. He does get pass catching, so maybe he has just enough to get you a CE this week. Alright, on the Panthers side, Newton man. The Falcons defense is holding quarterbacks to two yards. Over the last five, They've only allowed one yard game. But I think Newton can get enough rushing even though he's only averaging two game over his last three, I think he can get enough rushing to give you a C grade there. Uh. Over to the

passing game and receiver Samuel and Shephard, I'm benching. I don't know what their role is going to be now with with Benjamin gone, I don't know where the volume is actually gonna go. I'm also benching Dixon twenty six yards a game over the last three in Atlanta's top ten against That ends. No thanks, Bunches, I this is isn't This is the only time you're ever gonna hear me say this. I hate I cannot stand Bunches, but

I might give him a grade this week. I know I want to give him a B plus, but you you don't are no pluses, and there are no pluses in this show. Yeah, there's no crying in baseball, there's no pluses. And still he was already the target leader on the team with eight point three targets per game with Greg Olson out, so he's gonna draw top coverage. But Atlanta has given up a touchdown to the number

one receiver in sixth straight. Fungus is the red zone threat here and they've allowed sixty yards to three straight number one receivers. I think he's just gonna get ten plus targets and have the volume. I'm benching Stewart because he's terrible this year. I don't care that he scored last week. McCaffrey. Atlanta gets torched by pass catching running backs. That's why I was all over Terry Cohen week one on fanball dot com articles. It still holds true. They're

bad last year, they're bad this year. There McCaffrey, that's his own. Atlanta is allowing seven catches and fifty five yards receiving the running backs. McCaffrey. I'm giving an a grade to all right, nice um. I like McCaffrey a lot. He's inside my top ten overall at the running back position. This week, Bengals take on the Jaguars, and this is a super dicey matchup, lowest grade of the year for

for A J. Green. For me, the Bengals have arguably the worst offensive line of football and the Jaguars have the most sacks in the league by a mile. This feels like a very dicey matchup for the passing game to me. Brian, you see it that way? Oh yeah, no doubt. This is one of those times or A. J. Green definitely doesn't get an A. I'm still going to give him a B here just because he is an elite talent. But yeah, this is basically the worst matchup

for wide receivers going up against the Jaguars. Jalen Ramsey and A. J. Bouyer probably the best cornerback duo in the NFL right now. But Green is elite. Like I said, he does have several inches of height advantage on each guy, and uh elite wide receivers faired okay against the Jaguars. DeAndre Hopkins had seven for fifty five yards and a touchdown. Antonio Brown caught ten balls for a hundred fifty seven yards, So some hope for Green, not for the other wide

receivers though they are on the bench. The Jaguars have allowed one opposing wide receiver touchdown all year. That was Hopkins, and they're allowing less than ten catches and a hundred and ten yards per game to wide receivers as a whole. That is a awful. So they're on the bench, as is Tyler Croft. Uh he will get Sea grades in

the future and has in the past. Uh is averaging more than five targets over his last four games, has scored three touchdowns in that span, but only one of posing tight end it's top fifty yards against the Jaguars. That was Delaney Walker in Week two, and only one Titan has scored against Jacksonville in their last four. So Croft is on the bench, as is Andy Dalton for

pretty much obvious reasons. Jacksonville has allowed four passing touchdowns and seven games no quarterback has thrown for multiple touchdowns and only one has topped two hundred twenty five yards against the Jaguars this year. It's almost an auto bench or any quarterback I've got, I've got Dalton below guys like well, I think probably all of our take a chance a mean quarterbacks. He's ranked like twenty three in a in a in a week in which there are

six teams on by. It's that bad for Dalton. It's it's that good for Joe Mixon this week though, probably give him an A. The Jacksonville ranks dead last and rushing yards allowed a hundred and sixty nine per game. UH, it's no surprise. They are also dead last in d v O d v O A against the run by football outsiders. UH. Running backs have also exposed Jacksonville through the air in recent weeks. Marlon Matt caught four passes

for forty yards. Levy on Bell caught ten passes. Low Powell and Elijah McGuire combined for six catches sixty five yards. Your boy Buck Allan caught five passes. Charge that's so yeah, there's hope hope for mixing through the air here. UH. Geo Bernard might snipe some of that pass work, but he's still on the bench for me, as is Jeremy Hill. You can find him on the bench like you find Forrest Gump on the bench bus stop most weeks over

to Jacksonville. Leonard four net practicing in full. That means he's back to an automatic A grade. You start him against eleven werewolves on steroids. UH. Cincinnati has allowed the fourth most red zone touches to running backs in four net is a ruler of those rushing opportunities when healthy as he is right now. So sh wouldn't have been eleven werewolves at midnight probably, But uh, I just scribbled

that down real quick. Okay, I mean, I'm just trying to help you out here, But how can they can be on steroids at midnight during the full moon? Face, I really want to play this thing out. Let's bake that in much of an auto start letard for it is, Yes, where was at midnight on Royds now cycle? Alan Hearns, Mark Eastley and d D. Westbrook all on the bench? Um Hearns is going to play? Mark east Lee might

might not. D D. Westbrook might might not. Um. All I know is when you see t Y Hilton go for two catches in fifteen yards against the Bengals, you're not going to start any of these three. Uh. Just the fun fact, Geronimo Allison, of all people, the only wide receiver at to top seventy five yards against the Bengals this year. And then water is wet, the sky

is blue, and Blake Portals is on the bench. Yes, Ravens take on the Titans, and a handful of C grades here for the Bengals, do not chase last week's forty point uh explosion, in part because two of the two of the touchdowns came from the defense and Joe Flacco looks like he's gonna start, but he's been Fantasy Football's worst starting quarterback by a mile, and when he's

on the bench. Jeremy Macklin from the passing game gets a C grade, but as much as anything else, it's just because everybody else is hurting, there's nobody else to

throw too. He does have a He's got a tougher matchup out of the slot against Tennessee slack cornerback Logan Ryan, but because of all the injuries, they've actually split him out wide a little bit, and if Mike Walls doesn't go, which could happen, then he gets a much more favorable matchup on the outside against the Dory Jackson and Sean Simms, both below average cornerbacks. So a C grade barely for Jeremy Macklin. C grades for the running game. I know

you want to chase. Alex Collins is a big explosion from last week, but this team has been oddly reticent to give him the ball despite his league leading average of six yards per gary. Fortunately, Collins dominated last week and you've gotta figure he's gotta show get a few more looks this week. But the matchups brutal. Tennessee is allowing the seventh fewest rushing yards, the fourth fewest yards

per carry, just three point six. No runner against Tennessee is top seventy seven yards and no runner has scored a touchdown since Week four against Tennessee. Brutal matchup for Alex Collins, but you still start him with a C grade. Bunk Gallen is a PPR option only he's managed at

least four receptions in five games this year. He faces the Titans defense that has allowed the six most receiving yards to backs, and in their last game Tennessee before last week's by Cleveland, runners total ninety two receiving yards total. So there's an angle for bunk Gallen right there. Let's go to the Tennessee side. It's only a handful of SEA grades and that's it. C grades for the two runners,

de Marco Murray and Derrick Henry. Unfortunately, the Ravens defensive tackle Brandon Williams is back, and that means they've stopped serving up free one yard games to opposing runners. Uh. Tennessee's offensive line is massively underachieving this year. They have on paper like one of the three best offensive lines in football, but they just aren't. They are not great this year, and Murray and Henry are locked into Fantasy

Football's most frustrating time share. Normally, Murray gets a slide edge over Henry because of his PPR potential, but the Ravens are elite against running backs through the air. They're giving up the fourth fewest receptions to runners. No running back has scored through the air against the Ravens this year. So just ce grades here for Murray and Henry. Let's go to the passing game. C grades abound here as well well, actually just from just from Marcus Mariota C grade.

Last time we saw Mariota, he was going belly up against the Browns, and now he faces a much tougher opponent. The Ravens the number three past defense and yards allowed, the number four past defense and touchdowns allowed. They've also allowed just three passing scores total in the last five games, so brutal matchup for Mariota here it really only giving him a C grade because six teams are on by and I know you're in a pinch and you just lost to Shaun Watson, and it's the only reason he

gets to see. All his receivers are on the bench. Matthews, Davis, Deck are his wide receivers. The Ravens have yet to allow wide receiver to top ninety five yards all season. They ranked fourth in yards to wide receivers allowed, second and touchdowns allowed to wide receivers. I can't recommend any of them here. They haven't allowed a wide receiver touchdown in three straight games. Decker, Davis, Matthews all on the bench.

What about the Laney Walker, you may ask, Well, he hasn't scored all season, and he's a game time decision with a foot injury. So and the Ravens have allowed a league high six tight end touchdowns, but three of those six were that crazy London game where they gave up three of them to Marcedes Lewis inexplicably in one game. So I don't know if they're really that bad. Now, if Walker doesn't go, then you could pivot to his backup. I think I'm gonna say this right, JOHNU. Smith. I

think it's John. I'm a Joni guy, but I guess I'll I'll fix that. John, go with John Oh John Smith. Now here's your weird factory to the day. John H. Smith currently leads all Tennessee receivers and touchdowns right now, and he hasn't scored in four games. He leads with two so you could pivot there if you're looking for a cheap fan ball DFS angle, or you're just in a desperate spot for at the tight end position. We'll take a break when we come back. Take a chance

on me. Nine players not normally in your starting lineup. We'll tell you who they are when we come back. It was just a matter of time. Sooner or later a listener would send in their own version of take a chance on me, And that has happened. Like on the key tar. No, this is some synthesizer, but it's got a very eighties to me. This has got an eighties John Carpenter feel to it. Do you remember The

Escape from New York, The Thing, Halloween? All those epic John Carpenter movies from the eighties which he did his own soundtracks. By the way, you don't see directors do their own soundtracks anymore, and probably rightfully. So take a chance. I mean, thank you listener, Mike by the way, um, take a chance. I me nine players not normally in starting lineup. Let's go to the quarterback position. Many of these available on the waiver wire, and god you need it.

This week we begin right here. Scott Fish quarterback. I'm gonna go with Tom Savage. Oh yeah, yeah, he's He's just got a great matchup this week. The Colts have allowed either three yards passing or multiple touchdowns to every quarterback they faced. It's in Tom Savage is three career games. He's played the Jags twice end of last season when they were very good and to start this season, and Cincinnati. At the end of last year, Cincinnati held six quarterbacks

under two hundred yards. I'm not a hundred percent positive yet. That Savage is just terrible. He's got a couple of great weapons. It's just such a good match up here. Okay, Scott Fish, Hi won't let you down, Humble Rusty. I'll get it better next week. Alright, Well, I have, unfortunately brock Osweiler, who now plays with the Broncos, which comes courtesy of the Browns. Or the Texans Satan himself. I don't know who is paying his salary at this point,

and it's not Denver. But get this, here's a stat for you. The last time Brock Osweiler put on a Broncos jersey, they won the Super Bowl. Even play in that game. But don't let that stop you, all right, in all somewhat seriousness, in non Northeastern conditions, when playing San Francisco, opposing quarterback where the temperature decks below, opposing quarterbacks that've actually done pretty well against Philly, uh, chasing points in Philadelphia Kirk Cousins at three hundred three yards

and three touchdowns, Carson Palmer to one. Eli Manning had three hundred and sixty six yards and three touchdowns. Osweiler is a little mobile too, Don't forget when he's not running out of town, uh, you know, dodging bricks being thrown atam or whatever. Cam Newton ran for eleven eleven times or seven one yards and a touchdown against the Eagles in Week six. Philly also owns the highest opponent passing play for senterge, a whopping seventy of the time

opponents pass against them. So Brock Osweiler. Yeah, I might help you out this week. All right, Jacobe Prisette going up against Houston, I'll take the precent side of the of the of this matchup as opposed to Scott Fitch a quarterback battle. At the quarterback battle, only New England has allowed more fantasy points to opposing passers than the Texans, who have yielded two or more touchdowns to quarterbacks and

four of their last seven games. While percent is somewhat limited as a pastor, which I think we can all agree, he is tied for the league lead with three rushing scores. He is a threat to hurd of Houston defense that surrenders over twenty one rushing yards per game to quarterbacks. Let's let's play for the rushing angle of nothing else with Pert Sette. Let's go to the running back position, Scott,

all right, I'm going with the Orleans dark On. Every running back that's had at least twelve touches against the Rams has had at least ninety yards and a score. Dark was probably gonna get that. He had twenty two against Denver. He's led the team in his tempts three straight weeks. All Right, I'm staying with the Broncos and going to Vante Booker at the Eagles. UM, here's the stat.

Over Denver's last three games. C J Anderson has one rush from the red zone inside the red zone, DeVante Booker had three runs inside the ten yard line last week and scored on one of them, scored on one of them. And during that same three games, fan Booker has catched totals of four or three and three. The Eagles have allowed over eight receptions pretty game to running backs over their last three games. So Booker is gonna get a decent amount of work here. It could help

you out. I like books he was, Yeah, he was. He flashed in the preseason, looking better than I thought. He has to look better than c J. That's a savvy pickup. Andre Ellington dropped in mostly because he's been hurt for the better part of a month. But remember before his injury, he was averaging nine targets per game and Adrian Peterson is not gonna it's not gonna take

receptions away from him. He goes up against San Francisco and get this, the forty Niners dead last in receptions allowed to running backs, receiving yards allowed to running backs, receiving touchdowns to running backs. I want the running back who's averaging nine targets a game, Andre Ellington. This week, let's go to the receiver position, Scott. I'm going with more of a dart throw here with Brandon Coleman. He played sent of the snaps last week. Snead did not

get a target. He's a six ft six big play threat that Breeze has been raving about. There's a chance for a big play, all right. I'm going on Oakland tight end Jared Cook at Miami. Opposing tight ends are averaging more than eight and a half targets, six catches, and fifty yards per game against the Dolphins, who have snowflakes spinning in his Tunican grave right now, how bad

they are playing. Jared Cook has has also seen at least five targets in every game but one this year, and he's top six among tight ends in red zone targets. The Dolphins have allowed a tight end touchdown on three of their last four games, and in the one game they did in Austin, Hooper had seven catches. So I like Cook. Can we refer to the Dolphins home stadium as the Tunican I like that I think that's pretty brilliant. My receiver Tyke take a chance of me. Player is

Tyler Higbee. If you don't even know who he is, I don't blame you. Um he is your Rams starting tight end and he goes up against the Giants. Brian, how are the Giants against tight ends awful? And that's being generous. They are dead last against the tight ends in yardage allowed? They have allowed a tight end touchdown in eight consecutive weeks. How do you do that? How do you give up a tight end touchdown in every

game of the year, which they have done? Higbee totally inconsistent, wildly want some good games, some terrible ones, and absolutely invisible. But if there's ever time to start him, it is right now. When we come back, we'll dive back into the matchups including Rams versus Giants. Will tell you if you can get back on board with Jared Goff in this passing game when we come back your distinct Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan, Welcome back to the show

Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. It's our special chick Chat Ladies edition. We do this every year and honor of our dear hunting widows. Ladies we encourage you to call. We're gonna try to take calls in this segment for you. Six one, nine, five three two six Rams take on the Giants, Scott, I, I'm back on board the Rams

passing game. What do you think? So I here, Jared goff had a tough game against the Jags and the Seahawks and whatnot, But the Giants are the worst past defense in the NFL since Week four, averaging allowing nearly three thirty yards and two and a half touchdowns per game to quarterbacks. Oh and guess what genera Jenkins is now suspended. So that's gonna help out the wider's eivers, especially Watkins quite a bit. For the wide receiver. I give Goff an a I'm giving all the wide receivers

bees though they I think all of them. I love the Watkins, I I like I like a lot of the wide receivers, but they spread the ball around so much. Watkins without Jenkins him right, but he's still just seeing four targets per game on the season, correct park as he's seen all these number one cornerbacks. True, but there's no Jenkins, so you know, typically the path of leash resistances with the other guys. All right, continue, alright? Uh,

for Woods, he's the target leader. He's got five catches and at least fifty five yards and four of his last five games. I'm giving him be maybe these are all really high bees. And Cooper Cup is I know the Cooper Cup is the guy I probably like the most. I know you like Watkins. Cup is tied for third in the NFL and red zone targets with eleven and and Doug Baldwin just a couple of weeks ago from the slot torched the Giants. So Higbee was your take home.

And Gurley he has over a hundred twenty total yards in four of his last five games, and every running back that's got at least twenty touches against the Giants hundred thirty plus total yards. Yeah, Todd Gurley averaging nearly twenty five a game. A grade there on the Giant side, I'm benching Manning. I'm sorry, man, you go under a hundred fifty passing yards two straight games and you play

a top ten past defense, I'm benching you. Shepherd. I'm giving him a C grade because every wide receiver that's had at least eight targets against the Rams has at least eighty yards. I think he could sleep walk sleepwalk into eight targets. Yeah, Evan Ingram, he has at least four catches and at least forty yards and seven of his eight games and he's been there in primary weapon ten plus targets each the last few weeks. It's a good defense against ted Ends, but he's getting so much volume.

Might give him a C and dark one was my take home. Right, let's go to the Bucks in the Saints. The normally playing against the Saints, it was just start everybody in the passing game, but the Saints secondary has suddenly gotten to be a legit and now Jamis Winson is not a sure start here. What do you think? Yeah, you can suddenly get legit when you're facing Mitch Trubisky and Brett Huntley over the last So let's start with

Mike Evans. I'm giving him the easy A. Still Marshawn Lattimore has gonna standout rookie at corner half, but at six ft one two, he's about the size of one of Mike Evans Teddy Bears. I think, so I still like Evans in this matchup. I do like the Sean Jackson as well. He'll see Ken Crawley, who's also played very well at corner this year. But Jackson has been more involved lately, with eight or more targets and three

of his last four games. And here's his career averages indoors as they will be this week at the Superdome reverence the Shawn Jackson. Shawn Jackson five catches ninety six yards zero point seven touchdowns per game indoors, whereas outdoors he has four catches sixty six yards and zero point three touchdown this year. This is career he's never played inside, not a lot, not as much as outdoors obviously, but

a decent enough sample size. You like Jackson on the fast track, Let's just leave it at that, and wide rep whide re super duos have burned the Saints digs feeling Golden Tate Marvin Jones both had big games. So I like Jackson and Evans Cameron Brad. I don't like him as much, Gonna give him a see. New Orleans is allowing you third few s yards two tight ends this year, but tight end is just too thin to bench the guy who was fourth in yards at the position.

So you can start break but not O. J. Howard. He is on the bench. Jamis Winston gonna give him a B. Cam Newton, J. Cutler, Brett Hunley, Mitch Hubiski all failed to throw a touchdown against New Orleans, but Sam Bradford, Tom Brady and Matt Stafford each through for three touchdowns against the Saints. Winston fits better with the ladder there, so I like him this week only if his shoulder holds up, So we'll cross our fingers there.

And Doug Martin also gets a BU. The Saints are ranks twenty nine against the run by Football Outsiders and have allowed a hundred yards and he touchdown to a running back and back to back weeks. They've also allowed the fifth most receptions running backs where Martin can catch the ball when needed. Uh. Going over to these Saints, Drew Brees gets an all, let's just move on. Michael Thomas gets an A as well. Thomas caught six balls for nine gate yards and his loan meeting with Tampa

Bay last year. He has at least seven catches and four of his last five games, and Tampa Bay is ranked twenty seven against number one wide receivers by Football Outsiders. Ted ginn not in A, almost in A, but i' gonna give him a B. He should be the primary beneficiary of Brent Grimes his absence. We will miss this game. Uh, he'll see a lot of Ryan Smith will be making only his second start at cornerback. Over his last three games, again has five catches of twenty plus yards, and three

of those have gone for over forty. The Bucks are allowing more than a hundred nine yards per game to wide receivers, so Gain should continue to shine here, as should Brandon Coleman. Scott's take a chance on me. Wide receiver Willie Snead only saw four snaps last week, probably won't be ramped up fully, So I do like Coleman, Warden sneed here. Uh, Kobe Fleaner is on the bench just because he he sucks, sucks, sucks so bad. I'm sorry for that call a few weeks ago. Yeah, yeah,

how about that? And then mark Ingram I'm gonna give him an A. And Alvin Kamara almost in A, but he's gonna get a B. Uh Ingram averaging twenty seven touches per game, and the Bucks are allowing a hundred and thirty four combo yards per game to opposing backs. Ingram also scored twice in his last meeting against Tampa Bay and Alaman Kamaras should eat through the air. Tampa Bay is allowing seven catches and fifty four yards per game to oppose and running backs. Yeah, we said it

last week, and it's starting to materialize. They can't keep using Ingram as a workhorse guy getting twenty seven touches a game. Camara is gonna start picking up more touches. The regression is coming. Washington takes on Seattle in Seattle, tough matchup for the Redskins. I've got a handful of Sea grades and that's it. Chris Thompson gets a C grade. As good as he has been, by the way, averaging one total yards per game since week two, he's still

kind of a matchup play. You've gotta find teams that struggled to stop running backs out of the backfield, and Seattle is not that team. They have a top five ranking against running backs in catches allowed to running backs, targets allowed to running backs, receiving yards to running backs, and receiving touchdowns allowed to running backs. So I don't much love Thompson here and he's just a C grade.

I'm keeping Rob Kelly on the bench, WHI always day with running backs still playing hurt and he actually he could. He's a sneaky game time decision. There's a scenario where Kelly doesn't play in this game. Uh, he's had double he hasn't had even double digit touches since Week two. Just not getting enough work here. You could try to gamble on the touchdown, but Seahawks are still a decent enough run defense that I don't think you want to

start Rob Kelly. Let's go to the passing game. Kirk Cousins. And by the way, this is this hurts all of them. Offensive line devastated by injury. They're missing two starters for sure, and probably three starters across the offensive line for the Redskins, Jamison Crowder and Jordan's Jamison Crowder probably will not go. Jordan Reid's already been ruled out. So Cousins is really really short suited in this one. Only a C grade here,

and even that is a tentative C grade. Seattle secondary did just get crushed by Deshaun Watson last week, but note before that game they were averaging two D two passing yards allowed and zero point eight passing touchdowns allowed. Kirk Cousins not DeShawn Watson. This is a very tough matchup. You could try to start Vernon Davis, He'll start in place with Jordan Reed, but mom worrid, He's gonna have

to block because I don't have any lineman left. That's a concern Seattle middle of the road tight end defense, and so I show caution. I have a tentative S grade on Vernon Davis. That's it. Josh Dockson is on the bench. He's only averaging one and a half catches per game. Let's go to Seattle side Russell Wilson. I mostly in obvious a here, but I'll note that the Redskins have allowed just two hundred eleven passing yards in less than one passing touchdown per game to every quarterback

other than Carson Wentz this year. And Russell Wilson just eviscerated a really good Houston secondary. So maybe it doesn't matter. But Wilson's accounted for three hundred thirty three total yards or more and three total touchdowns and four of the past five games he's red hot. Totally wrong about my earlier predictions of doom. For for Russell Wilson, he's he's great,

keep him in your lineup. Jimmy Graham also an obvious a to the point that I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this, especially because the Redskins of all of the most yards two tight ends eighty one yards per game. So he is a great great start this week. A grade for Jimmy Graham be great. For Doug Baldwin, he has a tough matchup against emerging slot cornered Kendall Fuller, who's currently ranked fourteenth by Pro

Football Focus. Although I'll note this, in the last three weeks, two slot corners have found the end zone against Washington, Aldrick Robinson and Nelson Aghilar, so there is an angle here. Skins have not a lot of receiver to top sixty six yards since the opener at you, and so that does worry me for Doug Baldwin, who gets a B grade. It also worries me for Paul Richardson, who has a

C grade. I know he blew up last week. But before you get too confident about remember you only caught two or three passes in the previous five games, so only two or three in the previous five. So let's not go crazy chasing last week's box score for Paul Richardson. Then Tyler Locketts on the bench for many of the

same reasons. No receivers top sixty six yards against the Skins since the opening game, and he is getting Lockets getting more looks of late, but he's still the fourth option in this passing game, so I think you gotta be cautious about him. And I'm putting all the runners on the bench. This is the worst rushing attack in the NFL. Chris Carson is still your leading rusher for the Seattle Seahawks and he hasn't played since October one. Rawls and Lacy both under two point six yards per carry.

Let's go to our next matchup, and that is the Arizona Cardinals at the San Francisco. We've already found some take a chance, I mean, guys that we like here in this game. But what do you think about the Arizona offense now without Carson Palmer. I'm scared. Even though it's got a gray matchup, I think I still have to bench Stanton. I don't even know if I don't

know if he's going to play the whole game. I mean, Gabert might come in for a revenge game, but he's a sub fifty percent passed over the last three years in relief. No, no thanks, despite the great matchup. Same with most of the passing game, and I was the top three against Ted Ends I'm mentioned Gresham Brown. I can't trust Fitzgerald. I'm going to give him a C, and just barely. He's only got one game over fifty yards with Stanton and last week and three quarters of work,

Stanton only targeted him twice. That's scary as heck. But the matchup is so good it's got to be some volume somewhere. I'm giving Fitzgerald a hesitant C. Running game Ellington was your take. M love him this week, and Super Sneaky has been dropped in. I love him too. I like that call. And and Peterson they want to feed him this week. The forty nine Ers defense has allowed a league high tied for the league high ten touchdowns running backs hundred thirteen rushing yards per game. I'm

giving Peterson a B grade. It would shock me if he has an A grade. I would give him an A if it wasn't for last week and I got scared. So on the other side for passing game, I'm giving better to see And it's mostly because he can get some work done on the ground and his two starts and a touchdown and the Cardinals have let up a couple of touchdowns to rushing quarterbacks. The matchup isn't is pretty good, you know, bottom five against quarterback's methods, not

throwing for a lot of passing yards. But he can make it up there real quick. Do you buy that? Shanahan said that Garoppolo will not play this year. I don't buy it. There's no way, right, I just don't buy it. I don't believe you. Kyle, sorry all right. For the wide receivers, I'm benching them all I I just can't decide what's going to happen with them. Where Peterson is gonna play if he's going to cover both Robinson and Goodwin at times. Uh, the slot is only

giving up forty five yards per game. That makes Taylor tough. Kittle. He's disappeared over the last couple weeks. I thought the Iowa thing was going to be a thing, but not three catches in the last two weeks. But great matchup, good matchup, Yeah, that's it. Still under fifty yards per game to tight ends, but yeah, they have a lot of few touchdowns. Carlos Hyde a grade this week. In his last meeting with the Cardinals, he had total yards

and five catches. At the time of that game, the Cardinals were allowing eighty five yards per game to running backs. Since that game, we're talking after that game, they're now allowing over a hundred and twenty yards per game to running backs and have fallen to become a bottom ten run defense. For Carlos Hide, I like it. Let's let's work in a few calls again. It's deer hunting opener, and that means we celebrate deer hunting widows, ladies. We encourage you to call in your first priority on the

phones all day six nine, five, three to six. And guys, it's not that we don't love you deer hunters. I know a lot of your streaming the show right now, maybe on I Heart Radio, KA fan dot com. Um, if you send me photos from your deer stand right now at Paul Charging on Twitter, I've seen something good. They are good. Chancey is it Chancey? Hi? That's part Jan and part Nancy. I like it. All in one. Yeah, that's about it. What can we do for you? Um?

I have basically two questions, Um, I need two of them. These people in the Standard League? Um, wove Fuller, Robert Woods, Mohammed's an new or one of of your take chances? What? What? What? What is your call? I'd probably lean with Fuller and Woods this week. I love Woods this matchup, and I think I love both Woods and Fuller's matchups. Actually, yeah, that's what we would do. Anything else we can help

you with, yes, yes, yes, yes? Um? What is your two cents on Miami's Saks Field avoid that don't like any of it? Yeah? If you had to pick one, it's Kenyan Drake right now though, if you really want to pick one up, yeah, let me write this one down, but don't don't get too excited about it when you have ah, okay, um okay, all right, thank you, appreciate you listening, Thank you, thank you for listening. Let's go to Katherine. Hello Katherine to keep your patience this morning. Hi, hi, um,

thanks for taking my call. I have an issue with quarterbacks. UM. I have Brissette and Flacco going and I'm just wondering if there was somebody else or two others that you would choose over those two quarterbacks that I have right now. I would choose the rest of the league over Flacco. Yeah, literally have every other available starting quarterback. To me, it's better than I don't think he's anyone else besides anybody but Flacco. Brissette was might take a chance on a quarterback,

so I like him. Do you have anybody else knows I woul Yeah, I would say any of our tet coms over Flacco, but I would agree that Brissette is probably has the best chances this week of those three guys. Okay, Brissette, Savage, and Swaller, I got from you the best of those. Yeah, yeah, I think we are okay. Yeah. Um. And then also I have Mike Wallace uh and wily Sneed. Do you think any of those I would drop? I would drop

them both from your roster, Catherine, Yeah, you can. You can find better help on the waiver wire, including our take a chance on me guys that we that we just discussed. Although two of them were tight ends, but I think you can find you can put your waiver wire has probably got better guys on it. Okay, thank you, appreciate it. We're gonna try to sneak in a quick one here with Erica. Hello, huh um. I was wondering somebody is offering me a trade for either of my

tight ends. I have both Chelsea and Grunk. Wow, whatever you want, Yeah, and you can. You can get a lot for them. Do you need to win this week, ericaor is your team in good shape? My team is into shape. And it actually wouldn't even take place until next week, all right, so this would be after the Patriots by week, which was part of why I was asking, what do you think Scott do have a preference between the two. I'd probably keep Kelsey. I just think he's safer. Well,

you can get more for Grounk exactly. You can get more for ground. Kelsey has nine yard games in the last year and a half. It's the most of any players, more than Antonio Browns. I think Kelsey's safer injury wise too, And you get more for Grunk. Yeah. Thanks, Erica. Appreciate your patients. On hold, when we come back, five hot questions, play along, see if you can go five and against

our panel of experts. When we return to Fantasy Football Weekly on the fan, you're distinct to Fantasy Football Weekly on the fan. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm a fan. Paul Charchie and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson in with you. It is time for a bit we call five tough questions, which we typically like to begin with hot question number one. It's hot questions, not tough questions. And giving myself the entire year to get that straight because it's been we've

been saying it for twenty years. From this point forward, will New Eagles running back j and g I finish as a RB one, r B two flex or bench player? Scott, I'm going with r B two. I think he is was brought in to be the lead dog, kind of like the Marshawn Lynch to Seahawks steel uh and Blunt has been terrible in short yardage and especially around the goal line. He's only scored on one of his eight attempts inside the five and one of his twelve attempts

inside the ten. That's where most of the scoring goes down. Not to mention, in Miami, he was only averaging Miami allow averages one point two yards before first contact. Philadelphia is closer to two point two which is the league average. So he's gonna get a lot more room to run. And his schedule is kind of, you know, the middle of the pack. So RB two. Okay, Yeah, let's pile on Blunt a little more here. He's just a bad fit. In Philly, the Eagles run seventy percent of their plays

and shotgun formation. That's just not blunts m O meaning normally yet to run outside the tackles in that scenario then, yet Blunt just does not excel. There a g I Ken and now here's a good stat I got from Graham Barfield on Twitter. Since the start of last season, there are just three instances of an Eagle's running back playing six of the snaps in a single game. And all we're dinner and sprawls and j GI is far

more more sprowlsy and than Garrett Blunt is. So I like him seeing the majority of the touches moving forward, and he does have a pretty good schedule. Uh, they did lose left tackle Jason Peters. The Eagles did as a huge loss, but the schedule is decent after there by Dallas, Chicago, Seattle, the Rams, Giants in Oakland. Some of those teams sound scary on paper, but they're really not. What is your answer here? AREB two? Y alright? RB

two correct answer? It's flex. Here's why one blunts not terribles. Averaging four point seven yards per carry you know where? That is way above average starting running back yards per carrey and Gi joins the team with the sixth most carries in the NFL. The Eagles are gonna want to unleash a fresh Agi in the playoffs, and more importantly, Blunt is an is a UFA. At the end of this year, They're gonna run Blunt into the ground the way Dallas did with DeMarco Murray because they don't care

about what happens to Blunt after this season. They need a Gi, a fresh, healthy, ready to go at the beginning of and in the playoffs. The best case scenario for JAGI is a split load backfield, and you can't Those guys aren't r B ones or r B Two's question number two. From this point forward, will New Bills receiver Kelvin Benjamin finishes an wide receiver one a wide receiver to flex or bench. Bryan's trying to go first

prime so Buffalo doesn't throw a lot. Uh, that's why they don't even with the road to except Shady McCoy and Charles Clay when he's healthy. But uh, but still despite not throwing a lot, Tyrod Taylor has the third most passing touchdowns from inside the ten yard line, and he's also top five and attempts and completion percentage from inside the five. Um. He's never had a red zone target quite like Kelvin Benjamin, and he does now, so he's gonna utilize him a lot when they're in the

red zone. And I just don't trust Charles Clay to be healthy. All those passes were going to him, but I think on one's canna eat into that big time. So he used a wide receiver too wide receiver to all right, I'm right there with you, wide receiver two. Pretty much everything he said that about Tyrod not having a weaponless he had Clay, but now Benjamin can fill

that role. Uh. And their schedule, they played the Chiefs, the Pats, the Colts, and the Paths over the course at the end of the season, all bottom five against the pass. I think there's some good games there at the end of the season. The correct answers flex Benjamin goes from Cam Newton to Tyrod Taylor, and Newton falls inconsistency. Is a better passer than Taylor is. Benjamin doesn't have the speed to separate from defenders, and Taylor is not

a precision passer. And the biggest problem though, is Benjamin, who's built for end zone goal line receptions, and the Bills love to run the ball at the stripe and they do it super effectively, so there's not a mandate to use Benjamin's size in the end zone. Davanny's hot question number three is Devin funchis helped, hurt or neither by the trade of Calvin Benjamin Scott. I'm going with neither. Uh. He was already the leading target getter before when Olson

went out, and with Benjamin there. Now that Benjamin's gone, maybe he gets a few more targets, but he's gonna be drying top coverage and Olsen will be coming back. I think that there's enough hits there to go against the the extra potential targets that I'm going neither neither. Okay, let me reiterate that Tyrod Taylor has the third most passing touchdowns from inside. The founder was kidding they throw inside the five charge bail run inside five bunch of bunches.

Funcious is gonna get hurt. He has played in twenty two games with Kelvin Benjamin, in sixteen games without him, you think he does better in the sixteen games without him? He hasn't the average less targets, receptions, yards, and touchdowns without Kelvin Benjamin. So this is going to hurt him moving forward. I say, neither Funius turns into the go to wide receiver for the Panthers, and that's as much of a curse as it is a blessing. He's been

struggling against second tier coverage. Now what happens when he faces the best coverage an opponent can give every down? And to make matters worse, there aren't any other receivers worth double covering. I mean, if a team is going to give double coverage to anybody, it's all gonna go to Funchius. So we've never seen an opportunity for him to really step up and and take the mantle when

given the opportunity. When Benjamin missed a bunch of time couple of years ago, funch just didn't do anything with that opportunity. I'm not certain he does here either Devanny's hot question number his Time Montgomery, drop Herble Brian and non PPR absolutely uh not that will ever see double digit double digit carries again anytime soon. But in the four games he did this year, he failed to average

more than three and a half yards per carry. He's just not a running back running back, and that is a fact. Uh Now in PPR land, I'm still dropping him to only has two catches over his last two games. That's what Brett Hunley a quarterback. So there's not a lot of chemistry there. And don't forget when he was really catching a lot of passes last year. That's when Randall Codd was injured. That's not the case right now. So I'm dropping Time Montgomery in all formats. Okay, yeah,

pretty much everything he said. I like to say a rising tide lifts all boats, and well, this is a low tide for the Packers right now. The whole offense should be downgraded. And he's only played of the snaps since Aaron Jones has taken over the control. I'm dropping Time Montgomery everywhere. Yeah, you guys have hit on all the key salient points here, and I've got a few

extra stats. I can throw in Since Week two, his average game thirty one total yard and no touchdowns if he if it weren't for the fact that you invested a third round pick in your draft or something in him, you'd dropped him a long time ago. Based just on the stats, it's not even clear. And this is also important that Montgomery is even the handcuff to own if something were to happen to Aaron Jones. I'm not sure Jamal Williams doesn't turn into the starter even in PPR

one catch each of the last two weeks disastrous. Devon's hot question number five, Are you holding DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller or you're trading him away? Scott, I'm holding him. I'm holding him at this point, and mostly because of matchups. They have the Colts and the Cards and the Titans and the forty Niners early on, and then I'm gonna try to trade him before he has to face the

Jags and the Steelers in the playoffs. I don't know at what point I'm going to trade them, but for right now, hold and then I'm gonna trade in a few weeks. I'm kinda with you, but if I can execute a trade today, I'm gonna do it, and then I'm going to use the indie matchup as the selling point, like you said, Jack c Villan Pittsburgh in the Fantasy playoffs. As for Hopkins, he has Pat Pete of the Cardinals

coming up on his schedule as well. And uh, you know, Will Fuller is not going to catch a touchdown on every other reception like he did with Tom Savage. You're still I would still high on Fuller even if I would try and sell them today. All right, so you're so you're you're going with the yes on cell today. Yeah, I'm going yes as well. Uh Tom Tom Savage has thrown one five passes in the NFL, which is a pretty big sample size. I mean that's the equivalent of,

you know, three games worth no touchdowns, not zero. And you know, last year with Brick Osswidler destroying his season, Bill O'Brien refused to use Tom Savage until the bitter end of the season weeks sixteen and seventeen. And and Bill O'Brien, why was he so reticent to insert Savage when when Osswiler was so bad and was killing their season. It's because Bill O'Brien sees every single throw that Tom Savage has in practice and still didn't trust. I think

Tom Savage is just weird with quarterbacks. He watched Deshaun Watson all preseason and said, oh, I'm just gonna go with Savage to start the season. John Bill O'Brien that I I that end up a very confusing decision. Obviously, Um, you know we're only eight games are removed from seeing how little value fantasy value Deshaun, de Shaun uh sorry, DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller would have under with bad quarterbacking. We're only eight games away from that, and it was

bad last year. Will Fuller was not even rosterable. DeAndre Hopkins was came finished last year like wide receiver forty. So I think you got a trade away right now, strike while the iron is hot, and to Brian's point, strike while you've got Indie on the schedule this week. You've got twenty four hours to pull off that trade. Let's working to match up Broncos taking on the Eagles. Brian, you already told us you like Brick Brick Oswiler in this game, so only like one of his receivers, if

not more. Who are the Who's startable here. Uh like that's well never mind, Yeah kay. I like Brick, but to Mary's Thomas, you gotta give him a B here. He did catch five touchdowns in seven games with the Brock, and Philly has been tough on paper against wide receivers the last two weeks, but it was San Francisco and the Northeaster and the washed up Washington wide receiver corps of weeks before that. So I do like Thomas here. Uh, the Eagles are top five and catches and yards allowed

to wide receivers. I will give Emmanuel Sanders a C as well. You should make his return from a sprained ankle. Even though brick Oswidler is his quarterback. This is a favorable matchup on paper, so he is startable in a game where the Broncos would probably be chasing points. Um uh no, no tight end, I'm not pointing to tighten for the Broncos. Is two modeled there um and over the running game. CJ. Anderson has looked kind of bad the last few weeks. Um, and that's why Davante Booker

has might take a chance for me running back. He had three carries inside the ten yard line last week. CJ has one red zone carry in the last three weeks, so I like Booker a little more than Anderson. MS still gets the se um over to the Eagles. Carson Wentz usually an automatic A, but he got to give him a B against Denvery efter to respect him. There no need for wins his stats. He's winning leagues right now,

but the Broncos do warrant some stats. No quarterback has topped two forty passing yards against them, but Tyrod Taylor, Dak Prescott, and Philip Rivers through for multiple touchdowns against the Broncos this year, so wins can do the same. Zach Ertz gets an A despite the hammy issue he was dealing with this week. Ertz has scored six times this year, and Denver has given up six tight end

touchdowns through seven games. They ranked twenty seven against the position by Football Outsiders, so Urts is still an elite start. Alshon Jeffrey is not an elite start. Uh. Denver gave up seven wide receiver touchdowns all of last year, which is absolutely insane. That is not a lot of touchdowns to wide receivers. They had given up six already this year, though, so they softened a little bit, but most of these wide receiver touchdowns have been very random, John Colton, Andre Holmes,

Travis Benjamin twice. So it's just kind of like this rando receiver will catch up touchdown. Alshon Jeffrey is gonna get the most attention from the wide receiver, so he just gets a sea here. I just said random wide receivers have scored. But I'm still putting Aglar and Torry Smith on the bench. I do like you do like him? I was borderline. Yeah, he has touchdowns in three of his last four games. Well wait, wait, wait, now he draws Chris Harris dead. Yeah. Sorry, I was on the

wrong side of that. It's close, but he's still rosperable and he will be startable in coming weeks for sure. But Chris Harris is the best of their of all of their cornerbacks, and he's their slot guy. I don't like it. And then, uh, let's go to the running backs. We just talked about, Legarrett Blunt and j J I. I do like Blunt more in this game. I mean give him both the sea in this one is a

tough matchup. Denver ranked second overall against the rush and as yet to surrender a rushing touchdown this season, I almost want to bench both. I would actually bench a gi here. I'm benching both your right now, benoth Ben, I may have he may only get five carries in this game. Beat writers there think he's gonna do nothing, don't start it, gi here. Let's find out. Let's find out what they're how this thing is shaping up. First? Good, all right, let's go to Chiefs taking on the Dallas Cowboys.

Kareem Hunt isn't is an a even though he hasn't scored now in five weeks, this thing is starting to feel a little bit like last year. Do you remember how last season Spencer where like through week four was like RB one overall and fantasy points, and then he trailed off Cree months of much better talent um. Now, the good news is the Dallas defense has given up one dred, thirty four or more yards from scrimmage and at least one touchdown to every back who's gotten twenty

touches or more. Hunt averages twenty two touches, So workhorse backs are getting it done against the Cowboys. Dallas is also giving a four and a half yards per carry, which is a ton, so A grade Kareem Hunt. Let's go to the passing game. Be grade for Alex Smith. All of Alex Smith's multiple touchdown games have come on the road this year. The Dallas secondary is healthy again though, and they've been much improved over the past two weeks. They held Kirk Cousins and c J. Beethner to one

combined touchdown pass when healthy. There's a pretty good Dallas secondary and they are healthy now. Alex Smith just a B grade. Tyreek Hill, though I like a lot. He has a good opportunity gets back on track last week only two only two catches, but he faces a Cowboys team that's given up the fourth most receptions to wide receiver nine touchdowns to wide receiver. This game is in Dallas and Hills with three biggest games, and all three

of us touchdowns have come on the road. He goes up against corner Anthony Brown, who when targeted, is giving up a passer rating of one hundred five. So I've got an A grade on Tyreek Hill, B grade on Travis Kelsey because it's a tough matchup. Cowboys are giving up just have given up just one touchdown to the tight end position. They've held all opposing tight ends to under fifty four receiving yards. That's it. I look through the tight ends they faced and they've been garbage. Kelsey

is by far the best. I've got a B grade on Kelsey, but he trends towards an A. Let's go to the Dallas side. Zeke is an obvious A, and he's my number one ranked running back this week. If you missed the news yesterday, Zeke's playing, it's back on his average game. Zeke's average game over the last month of games one hundred sixty one yards and two touchdowns. That feels good. We take that here. Dak Prescott is

um as an A start as well. The chief secondary really struggling, giving up two hundred seventy three passing yards and two touchdowns per game. Only four teams have allowed more rushing yards to quarterbacks. That suits Dak Prescott's game as well. He's an A start. So is Dez Bryant, my number one wide receiver this week. Bryant lines up mostly on the left side. That means he's gonna avoid Marcus Peters, He's gonna get the feast on Terrence Mitchell,

and then sometimes in the slot against Philip Gaines. Both have been liabilities and coverage, and the Chiefs have allowed the most touchdowns and the most yardage to wide receivers this year. I loved as Briant in this game as well. I like the Cowboys in this game overall too. They're gonna I think they will win and win handily. Uh. Jason Witten be great. It's been all or nothing with Whitten, but this feels like one of the all games. The Chiefs have allowed the third most yard to tight ends.

A j Derby scored against them last week. The prior week, Jared Cook rumbled for one yards against them, so this feels like a great opportunity for Witten as well. We'll take a break when we come back, plenty more matchups. We still lightning round looming again. It's all female caller week, Rosemary Mulaney and Ava and Lila continue to hold.

No small amount of chaos on the Houston side, but let's start on the Indie side for just a minute. Jacoby Brissette was might take a chance, I mean quarterback? What do you think about t Y Hilton this week? I love him? I love him and Doyle. I'm giving him both a's.

I know Hilton has been very hot and cold, lady, but his good games were against Cleveland, San Francisco bottom ten defenses when they played. His bad games against Seattle, Jacksonville and Cincinnati top ten when they played. This one's a bottom ten and he's averaging eight targets a game. Hilton with an A, Doyle with an A. Since coming back from injury, he's an average eleven targets per game as a tight end. That that is amounted to eight

catches for seventy two yards per game, scoring twice. Texans have allowed three touchdowns over the last four games, seven seven receptions seventy eight yards receiving a lot. It's a lot over the last four games, Doyles, I think my tight end number five this week. I think I should look at I think I might admire you. I think I'm all right. I'm benching Gore and Mac. Texans are top five versus the run. They've only allowed one running back over sixty yards rushing since Week one, and that

was Kareem Hunt. They will They have not allowed a single running back over twenty five yards receiving except well, I suppose one single one Trey Madden's fluke sixty six yards reception. Otherwise they're not even allowing it in the receiving game, So just too tough here. Uh Gore doesn't even have a game over six yards rushing. I'm benching them both on the Texans side. Savage is my take. Hom I like him this week, and that makes me like Hopkins and Fuller still, Uh, Coults are bottom five

versus wide receivers. And get this, against the Colts. In the last four straight weeks, multiple wide receivers have had at least seventy yards or a score. So two different wide receivers every week are produced against the Colts. That's Hopkins and Fullers Fuller here in Week one, Savage targeted Hopkins eight times in the first half. Granted, you know Fuller wasn't there, so we'll see what that amounts to.

But number two receivers against the Colts. Three yard games and five touchdowns, So I think both are in play quite a bit here. Yeah, they're still startable, both Fuller and Hopkins still startable. Even absolutely, I'm still I'm still starting Griffin too on a C grade. He's averaging five targets of games since Week two. He's Fedoraitz isn't back yet, and Colts have allowed six tight ends over the last seven games to have forty five yards or a touchdown.

I think there's a little bit of opportunity there, even with Savage in Lamar Miller. Uh, the Colts have allowed the most rushing touchdowns in the NFL, and they're tied for the most touchdowns total in the NFL two running backs. Lamar Miller has fifteen touches in every single game. He's just getting the volume. I'm still giving him an a grade here, all right, I'm you're a little less. I'm yeah,

I'm a lot. I liked Miller a lot more when the threat of the passing game was there for the Flights to have to defend a lot more than what Tom Savage and Dwayne Brown who finally came back and then left and then left. Yeah, there's that too. Over the last four games, they've allowed three receptions to running backs two touchdowns the last four running backs Like no, I look the defensive opportunities there. I'm not sure they have the trigger man in Um and Tom Savage. Let's

go to our next matchup. Raiders taking on the Dolphins um a lot of people concerned or questioning whether or not they can trust the Raiders passing game. It's been hot and cold all year. Dolphins secondary has been good. What do you make of Car, Cooper and Crabtree. I really like Derek Carr. I'm giving him an A. Looks like his old self with two straight big games, uh this could be his third in a row. Miami's ranked against the past by Football Outsiders and they own the

second highest opponent average passer rating allowed. Uh. Women Joe Flacco and Ryan Mallett can combine to throw multiple passing touchdowns against the Dolphins. I think that Derek car will be just fine here. I don't like his receivers as much though. Michael Crabtree I like more. I'm gonna give him a B. He's the safer play. Obviously. Crabtree has topped eighty yards or scored in six of his seven games this season, but it doesn't really appear to be

an ideal matchup for wide receivers. Only two opposing wide receivers have been targeted more than eight times against the Dolphins, who have allowed just nine total wide receiver catches over the last two games, but they've surrendered four wide receiver touchdowns over their last three games, So there is hope for Crabtree, who is the better red zone option over

a Marii Cooper, who I will begrudgingly give a b to. Uh. Twenty nine targets over over the last two weeks for Cooper, but he is a human roller coaster ride always right, lots of highs, lots of loaves, So just be aware if you're starting Cooper this week. But you do have to start him. But I do like Jared Cook maybe more than both wide receivers he was. Might take a chance on the receiver and then over to Marshawn Lynch, who I'll give it? Who I will they c two.

He's coming off his longest run of the season, which is when he ran from the sideline to the scrum at the center against the Chiefs. Nice. Uh, So you should be ready to roll against the Dolphins in this one, but it might not be good times that are rolling here. Miami is ranked third against the run by Football Outsiders. They've only left three rushing touchdowns to running backs, and before the Dolphins blowout loss last week, they were allowing

only seventy nine rushing yards per game. So I'm only giving Lynch a sea here and DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard are back on the bench. Over to Miami and their brand spanking new starting running back Kenyan Drake, who I guess I will give a C two because he's a starting running back in the NFL. The Raiders had given up a hundred plus rushing yards for posting running backs in four of their last six games. Drake appears to be the guy over Damian Williams. I don't know

about that. I think this thing is really up in the I think this is like right now, you can't get too excited about either. Really, that offensive line is just awful. So but I'm give Drake a C in this one. See what happens with that backfield, Like Jarvis Landry a little more, he gets to be borderline a. Oakland has given up three touchdowns to opposing wide receivers over the past two games, and those are guys like

Andre Holmes and Albert Wilson finding pay dirt. Uh and Oakland slot corner T J. Kerrey has allowed the third most catches and six most yards and slot coverage so Landry is a strong start. Uh. Maybe DeVante Parker is as well, should make his return from an ankle injury this week and is hopefully near a hundred percent because when healthy, Parker was averaging nine targets and six catches a game. Oakland is top ten and catches and yards allowed to wide receivers, so Parker is a good play

if healthy. Oakland, also without two cornerbacks starter David Anderson and Demetrius McCrae. Kenny Stills is a tough one obvious start if Parker doesn't suit up or if he's a surprise scratch. But Parker's yeah, and that's it for still run. He was He did nothing when when Parker was healthy, he blew up when Parker was gone. I think it's that simple. Yeah, I'm with you there. And Julius Thomas, still on the bench, has yet to top three catches

or score a touchdown this year. Julius is also only top to thirty yards once, so he's on the bench, as is Jay Cutler. He'll make his return from a rib injury, but Marcus Mariotta, Joe Flacco, Joe Flacco, Philip Rivers, and Tyrod Taylor all posted poor numbers against Oakland. I fear that Tuler Will is in that same category of quarterback unfortunately, and that might be being generous. Ladies. We have full phone lines, which is terrific. We're excited to

take your calls. Next segment, Lightning Round looming, along with a couple of other things, including our final matchup, Packers taking on the Lions. All of that between now and the top of the hour when we come back, your distinctive Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. Final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly, well this week, and we got more shows to come. We'll be on next week at seven am. Reminder, gentlemen, it's our annual deer Hunting Widows show. We call it

chick Chat here at Fantasy Football Weekly. Ladies, you've got priority on the phones all day. That includes Lightning Round coming up in just a couple of minutes. Now, for the deer hunters who are out there, I know a lot of your streaming the show live from your deer stands right now. I heart radio k fan dot com. Send your photos, your action photos, as much action as there is in a deer stand, of which there's almost none, but uh to me at Paul charching on Twitter and

retweeting them over the course of the show. It's been fun seeing everybody out there in the deer stands listening to the show. Premature Speculation is a bit we do every week where we've identified players you should pick up now one week before we think they're gonna be hot pickups next week. We've unearthed tons of of good opportunities

over the course of this show this season. Let's see what we got this week, Scott, premature speculation guy, Well, this one might have been better had Ezekiel Elliott been out, it would have been better. I'm going with Rod Smith. I actually think he's the best running back in that backfield. Uh. He went for eight for sixty one against San Francisco and Relief a few weeks ago. He had two preseason games over a d r S three catches in each of them. It's preseason, but he's shown a lot of flashes.

And I know what Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden are like them done, Yes, exactly what Morris springs out is the confidence of the coaching staff, which counts for a lot. He's not going to cost them a win and all you know, turn a win into a loss in all probability and and also Charles Clays to do back next week. You should probably pick him up if he was dropped in your league. He could be a top twelve tight end. He might play this week, might play tomorrow. Go get him, Yes, Brian,

here's another tight end you could Abuh. It's been a while since we gave a tip of the Fedora to c J. Fedora, but I could make his return next or he should make his return next week against the rams Um. Long story short with bad quarterback with bad quarterbacking last years was basically a top ten tight ends and guess what, Houston Texans aren't that bad the rest of the year, so tight end has been a waste land outside of five, six, seven guys, No, not even yeah,

four guys, and I'm probably being generous there. You're right. So if you don't have one of those four guys, go ahead for door wits. Now, how about a third tight end recommendation, Greg Olsen. I think he's in my opinion, he's the best out of the three that we've given you so far. He's practicing this week, he's eligible to come off i R in two weeks, and so if you can sit on this for a couple of weeks. It's a great opportunity for him. No, Kelvin Benjamin, that

certainly works in his favor. Greg Olson last year averaged eight targets per game. That would be tremendous production in this offense. So Greg Olsen a guy you can go get right now, be ahead of the curve. Also, Danny woodhead also practicing already, and the belief is he is fully healed from the hamstring injury that he suffered in the preseason then reinjured in Week one, that he's one

right now and could play drive he did. If you were to extrapolate his first drive of Week one before he got hurt, that would extrapolate to eighteen thousand receptions for two hundred sixty seven thousand receiving yards this season. That would have been a really good season for Danny Wood. Had practicing also eligibley to return in week number eleven. Final matchup is the Monday nighter that is Detroit taking on green Bay. Let's start on the green Bay side.

I don't have anybody graded above a sea. Let's start with the running game. Aaron Jones since taking over the lead runner role, Jones has been good for an average of ninety total yards, which I like, almost a touchdown per game. I like that too, Um, and they're going to continue to run him a lot. You can't count on They count on the corner comic in a quarterback position. I think there's nothing they would like more than for

Aaron Jones to run the Packers to victory here. If history is any indication, he's gonna need a lot of carries. Though Detroit only gives up three and a half yards per carry last week, for Levy on Belle to get to seventy five yards, it took him twenty five carries to get there. There's a good Detroit run defense. So I see great and Aaron Jones from I think he'll get plenty of use here, but I don't know if he's gonna get enough to to get him into anything

too terribly meaningful. Let's go to the passing game. Oh, by the way, time, Montgomery, we already, as we already established in a previous segment of this show, dead drop him out right. Let's go to the Let's go to the passing game. I got Brent Hunley on the bench, brutal in his first start of the year before last week's by I hope he spent this week's bye week in Green Bay. I hope he didn't like keep his

plans on going to Cancoon for the bye week. I hope he stayed in Green Bay and did nothing but practice and work on getting to be better, because what we saw this week was bad or the week before that was bad. Um. The Lions have two terrific cornerbacks Darius slay KeAndre Diggs, that they're largely going to take away Davante Adams and Randall Cobb, and that means that that's what those are two less good targets for Brent Hunley, and I don't know that he's got enough Jordy Nelson

and him to cobble together a decent fantasy game. So I've got Hunley on the bench, so let's now talk Davante Adams. Top cornerbacks have been taking Davante Adams, not Jordy Nelson all year long. An example here locally, Xavier Rhodes shadow Davante Adams for most of the Viking game, so I expect him to get the sleigh ride this week. Darius slay is gonna has held Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, and Michael Thomas to per game averages of just sixty

yards and none of them scored. So and those guys, by the way, you've got Matt Ryan, Ben Roethlisberger and Drew Brees throwing to them, not Brett Huntley. So Davante Adams is just to see start here. Randall Cobb gets Candary Diggs has been a lot better this year, um, although slave receivers have had a handful of good games,

including Juju Smith Schuster blew up last week. So but Tob has been only is only getting four targets per game over the last month, and some of those are with Aaron Rodgers, so I've got him on the bench. So let's not Jordy Nelson. If Darius Slay is gonna be on Adams, that puts Nelson on Nevin Larson, who has, by the way, he's got all the covered skills of a guy named Nevin who was getting beat up on

playground pretty much. Nevin Lawson is quarterback one hundred and seven by Pro Football Focus, So I kind of like Jordy Nelson here, but I still can't get him above a sea grade. UM. Hopefully he can be better than that, but I don't know that it's going to happen. Let's go to the Detroit side. We'll start with the running game there as well. Amir Abdula just a C grade, averaging just three point two yards per carry over his

last three games. He isn't allowed near the ball when they get to the stripe, although yesterday I think it was to a reporter he said he wants the ball more near the goal line, and he can want it all he wants, but I don't think that changes anything. I'd like to get the ball near the stripe. That's not going to change anything. Abdulah is gonna average or has averaged forty five yards and no scores in two

games against the Packers last year. Green Bays just the middle of the pack run defense are giving a four point two yards per carry and the sixth most rushing yards. You know, you know the bit on Himdula. If you like your fifty yards on the ground and you like another fifteen through the air, he's your guy. I will We'll give Abdula this And this is from the RB scout on Twitter, who you've mentioned a few times in

the show. Abdullah is third in um yards per carry after the potential tackle point over two and a half meeting. He gets it done on his own, so he passes the eye test. He's actually I think he's he's looked. He's having the best year of his career, but doing it very quietly. And he's had some juke moves that have been sick this year. And and just just to add on real quick, before the potential tackle point, he's second to last with one point one yards would carry

meing his offensive line is failing him miserably well. And they still have all kinds of problems across the offensive line with injuries as well. Let's talk Matthew Stafford, who I've got an A grade on. He's absorbed the fourth most sacks, but the Packers have only had only registered twelve sacks all year, So think about this. They have twelve, the Jaguars have thirty three. That's how bad twelve sacks

is this year. That's third worse than the NFL. So I think Staffords is comfortable in the pocket on Monday Night. He's thrown the ball in the last two weeks nine seven times. So there, it's all about high volume here and he's gotten consecutive three passing yard games. I think this is another high volume game for him. He roasted the Packers secondary for almost four hundred yards and three touchdowns in his last trip to Lambeau last year, so

the environment does not intimidate him. Now. The Packers do get back Organ Burnett, that's a big plus for them. But there's still a lot of bad cornerbacks. And let's talk about some of these individual matchups, including Golden Tate, who gets an A grade. Even last week when he came in all banged up, he finished with a solid eighty six yards. He's a week healthier now and he gets to face slot corner da Marius Randall, who's been bad.

Pro Football Focus ranks him his cornerback one hundred to the last four slot receivers to play the Packers have scored or topped nineties seven yards. I love Golden Tate this week. He's in my He's in my great chart Chase chart Chase lineup at fan ball dot com. Uh Marvin Jones gets a C grade. Over the past two weeks with Golden Tate hurt, he had seen twenty five targets, just one fewer than he accrued in the first five games of the season combined. Now that resurgence happens to

coincide with him returning to lambeau Field. What did he do at lambeau Field last year? Marvin Jones two hundred five yards and two top downs last year. He'll draw a lot of Devon House, who is the best of the Packers lackluster cornerbacks though, So I'll mention that. So then we get to one of the sneakiest plays of the week, maybe the sneakiest play of the week. T J. Jones. Kenny Golladay is gonna miss another game with his hamstring injury.

He's gonna earn a starting grade here based on his seven team targets the last two weeks eight and nine target games. And he goes up against rookie cornerback Kevin King, who grades out as Pro Football focuses one best cornerback. If you are in a deep pinch, consider t J. Jones at wide receiver. Nuts, are you gonna do it? I'm gonna mention No, No, there's no mention is not even worthy of the time it takes to say don't start him. That wraps up our matchup portion now it

is time for Lightning Round again. I can't keep repeating myself, but let's be really clear about this, Ladies, you have priority for all of Lightning Round. Unless you get to a point where you stop calling. Then I'm gonna let the guys chime in. But otherwise, all ladies, it's deer Hunting Opener. We do this every year. It's been this way for twenty years now on this show. Deer Hunting Opener. Ladies, we're talking to you, your deer hunting widows. You need

the consolation of a win on Sunday. And also reminder, ladies, one question between two players. Only two players. We don't want to hear your whole roster. That's how Lightning Round works. So let's jump in and we'll begin with let's see who's been holding the longest. Catherine, Hello, hi, Hi, I have a different cud of league. We played two quarterbacks, three wide receivers to running back, the tighten the flex. My question is about the flex, rob woods or blunt?

Nicely done. One question between two players. Thank you for knowing the rules here, Katherine. I'm taking a long time listener for time color excellent, Thank you. I'm taking Robert Woods. I love love that matchup, and I'm just worried about what that split is going to be in week one. I think Blunt should still get the majority, but I like Woods and a really tough matchup for Blunt against Denver too. Thank you, Catherine, Melanie, you are next. Hello, Hi, Hi,

It's a big one for me. Um. I played my husband. Whoever loses to clean all three bathrooms in our house? I love it. Every every league that's got couples who play. When it's your turn on the schedule to face each other, there ought to be steaks on the line, and I love that. I love it, love that, Melanie. We're gonna help you win, all right. Um. Carson Wentz or Derek Carr, WHOA, that's tough, back to Blunt real quick. Wentz is from

my alma mater. I graduated from India, So I have a you have a spot for him in your heart. But we need we need ice cold rational logic right now, Brian. Yes, that's why I'm asking you. I'm gonna do my best to keep you out of the bathroom in the cleaning sense. There, I'm gonna go Car. I like Car a little more than wins. It's just an easier matchup for Car wins against Denver. That's one of the matchups where I would

go Car over Wins. I gotta say. I mean, if Wentz put up a zero touchdown game against Denver, we'd be like, yeah, it was Denver that happens. So Plus, it's nice having that Sunday night hammer. If she's behind, she can rub it in his face while he comes back. Katie Hello, Hello, Hi, Dak Prescott or Russell Wilson. I love both of them this week, and they're both inside my top four at the quarterback position. Um, Dak press I've got Russell one spot high. They're both in side

my top three. You can't go wrong. I've got Russell Wilson one spot higher in a very good matchup with Washington and he's been red hot. They've both been great. You can't You're not gonna go wrong either way. Let's see Lilah. Hello, Hi, Hi Lilah. Um. I'm oh, you did a good job for your dad. Thank you. Joe Mixon, Joe Mixon. Okay, there we go. Rosemary, you're next on

the show. Hi. I'm thinking of putting a green and I can put in either Cooper Cup or Jack Doyle, but it broke in the rules are kind of breaking the rules on this one, Rosemary. She sounds way too nice to hang up on her. I'm oh, man, I hate sitting a j Green, I hate it. I'd play I'm you know, I'm a matchup guy at heart. I'd play Doyle. So I'm playing the matchup. It is Doyle. Okay, I'm a mountain numbered, but I can't argue it too much. So yeah, let's go Doyle, alright quick breaking the calls,

We'll get to Avon just a second. Don't forget to play the Great arch Chase for free at fan Ball fanball dot com slash chart. You play against me and my roster. If you beat me, you get a ticket to our week seventeen Grand Entry thing and you win cash this week to in addition to three contest so check it out. Thank you. Hey, Hello, But my question is fifty PPR League, and I felt so I start Adrian Peterson just twenty niners or Aaron John the Joy. Adrian Peterson should get a lot of work in a

very juicy matchup. We'll go with him, is it? Jenny Genie? Hi, Genie Hi, I lost Deshaun Watson this weekend. I need Goff or cam Oh go for me? We love God. I think my top seven or eight this week. Yeah, he is my number five quarterback this week. Maryland your next? Yeah, Hi, this is a PPR question and this is only going forward,

as I don't eat a running back this week. You need to pick up an I d T if I'm looking at wondering if I should keep Matt Brada or Hunter Henry Wow, I DP, I like this Breda or Henry Uh. I don't know, Hi, it is still in the going forward. I'm still gonna I'll stick with Hunter Henry. I doesn't He'll be utilized more unless Hide gets hurt. But right now he's healthy, so I'd stick with Henry. Megan, you're next on the show, Hi, for the TPR league,

Will Fuller or Joe Mixon. Ah, that's mixing. Yeah, I think we're gonna I think we're gonna go mixing on this one. You know. I want to believe that Will Fulllor is gonna be okay here, but in a PPR league, he just doesn't. He wasn't getting a lot of volume anyway. Yeah, Hi, Heather, Hi, what's on your mind? Well, my husband has begged me to call in because it's our tenuar anniversary. Well it's it's a little bit of a cheesy because we prefer

the women that we talked to actually play. But in light of the fact that it's your tenure anniversary, we're gonna let it slide this time. Thank you. I really appreciate that. Okay, um, rest of the season, Orleansqua or the Vontae Booker. Oh you know what, I think I might actually go book or book Booker surging man. Yeah, I mean whoa man? Yeah. I don't think charts agrees by the faces, No I do. I'm it's more of a perplexed thing. It's it's offensive line crumbling before our eyes.

They just put their starting center on I R a couple of minutes ago. It's dark is their starter. But Gullman might step up. I like Booker better than c J. Right, I'd probably go on Booker and congratulations. You don't have to get him a present now that Yeah, that is the president. That's right off. What is the what is the ten year gift? Deep tissue massages? It's like I

don't remember, Yeah, I don't remember. Either it's a lightning round question, not Ali Helloa, Hi, Ali, Im if I could, Yeah, your phone's breaking up, Alley, give it to me one more time. Davante Adams, Who are Doug Baldwin? I think it's stuck Baldmink. You're right, I think it was Doug Baldwin. Tin or aluminum, we're told by Tony is the gift of aluminum. I even give the gift of aluminum other than foil. But yeah, Doug Baldwin is the answer. He

should avoid Josh Norman all right for the most part. Right, Paula Hello, Paula, Hello, Paula, No, Paula, all right, Marcy Hello, Hi, Ppru Brita or Marlen Matt. We have bench grades on both. Ye don't you take Mac? I guess I would take Mac. He's out snapped over the last couple of weeks, but I hate the matchup. Yeah, I guess Mac. But for Booker on your waiver wire Booker and hello, Hi, I need Blunt or Drake in a standard league, I could

use my blunt joke. Denver certainly knows how to handle blunts, so I'm going with Drake and this one. Al Right, There you go, even joking aside, you still like the like we put we put a blunt on the bench, right, did I gotta see for drake? Ladies, you are performed admirably today. Excellent job, um and don't be a stranger. And you don't have to wait for the Deer Hunting Show to call in. We love hearing from you and uh we uh we encourage you to call in every week.
