What Side Are You Even On?

making your monthly appearance. Yeah, that sounds about This is about it for November. You're all tuckered out after this. I think I might have one left after stop right exactly? Have I been the co host for all your shows? I was with Matt at least once, or that dude from London who sometimes Exactly As always, we're gonna break down every game Fantasy style, give you a letter grade on each player. Will also give you our rational preach grades. You can decide if you agree with us or not.

A few minutes from now, we'll give you nine guys upon whom you can take a chance. Later on, we'll answer three of tough questions haunting fantasy players, haunting you into the grave, Haunting you with these three tough questions, and for the very last time this year, we will provide you with premature speculation three guys who we believe will be hot pickups next week that you will want to pick up this week. All that coming up on

Fantasy Football Weekly. We dive right into the matchups, though, beginning with Seattle taking onto Philadelphia. This is an interesting matchup in that Brian birds they're both birds, I mean, and then obviously the Avian conquest is very It's a huge theme for this one. The Eagles defense so improved over the past three or four games. You don't know, you know, A you're gonna get the version that really

struggled for the first half of the season. You're gonna get the September October Version're gonna get the November version. What do you think about the Seattle side of this as they take on this new and improved Philadelphia defense. Yeah, this is um notly one of two West Coast teams going east for the early game, which is always a factor in my opinion. But starting with the passing game,

as you mentioned, um, the secondary looked pretty good. Ronald Darby back about Damatics back, but they faced Josh Allen who's up and down as a passer, then Sad Trombone Ski and then even Tom Brady last week. That Patriots offense is pretty uninspiring in my opinion, So I'm not fully sold on, you know, the Eagles being a shutdown secondary, even with Darby and Maddox back. UM safe to say Russell Wilson's on a different level. Yes, guy certainly is.

I'm still giving him an a here and opposing mobile quarterbacks have also padded their stats against the Eagles. Josh Allen had forty five yards, Dac had thirty yards in a touchdown. Even Aaron Rodgers rushed five times for forty six yards. So still in a for Russell Wilson over for his pass catchers. Tyler Lockett in a as well. I'm not concerned about the shin injury. Um, he will play, sure of that. It's slot corner of may injury. Like that. He's been good but not great, and it doesn't matter.

Lock it his match up proof in an automatic start when he's healthy and give him an I'm gonna give a dk metcalf of b here um. Even though Ronald Darby is back, he has about seven pounds or seven INDs on Darby and he's got about like half a second on Jalen Mills when it comes to speed before

the speeds, so he's gonna dominate Derby fly by Mills. Uh. The Eagles have only allowed one wide receiver touchdown in their last four but outside of Dallas, again, the opposing receivers into quarterbacks haven't been all that great, so I'm not reading too much into those numbers. Um, Josh Gordon, I'm gonna give him a see here, only played in thirty seven percent of the snaps, but he's come off a bye and Uh, I don't know. I'm just gonna

throw this dark Josh Gordon. See why not? Let's do it? Um, okay, just throwing it out there. Speaking throw darts. Remember that Jacob Polliser prespect dart I threw several weeks ago. Um, why yeah, I do recall that. I don't think you can find anything time stamped audio, Twitter, nothing that said Jacob Polliser before that show. But anyway, that was the last show, so it was about a month earlier. Uh, I just can give him a b. Though San Francisco

arguably the top tight end defense. UH, Hollister somewhat shredded them for eight catches and a touchdown the last time Seattle played. Because it is a tough matchup as well. The Eagles have only one tight end touchdown over the last six weeks and only one tight ends top three receptions or thirty six yards during that same stretch, So not a ideal matchup. But hollis a locked in as a tight end one pretty much on a weekly basis moving forward. And then Chris Carson always locked in as

an RB one or r B two. I would say he's an RB one in PPR leagues and just the RV two, which would be a B in a standard. He's had some. This is a tough matchups. They're tough matchups, but he always seems to find a way to be fantasy viable. He'll find a way and he'll he could find a way through the air as well. Philly is allowing six catches per game to running backs and Chris

Carson still owns seventy percent of Seattle's running back target share. Uh, don't be worried about Rashad Penny there over to the Eagles side, should probably be worried about them a lot, especially their wide receivers. Let's start with Carson. What a disaster it is there. Yeah, it's a do over, so at the position for the whole team. Actually know, I'm gonna start at the running game first because I don't want to talk about the receivers just yet because it's

so awful. Jordan Howard was not cleared for contact on in Friday's practice, so he's looking unlikely to go here, and the signing of j Jilli is on Bode Will. Media reports at the end of the week saying that Ji is looking at his substantial workload. Gross, he's bad. Boston Scott the backup running back to Miles Sanders. I'm gonna give Miles Sanders a see. Boston Scott saw too many carries in my opinion, he had seven last week to Sanders is eleven. But I think New England really

game planned to shut Sanders down. Sanders was still on the field for the snaps last week, so a solid see here. Still uh silly. Seattle has allowed the fourth most rushing touchdowns and running backs, and they've allowed at least seven running back catches in five of their last eight games. The Rams backs and Bucks backs and not hit that mark. That's understandable though, and Geneveon Clowney and Geron Reid are banged up, missed most of practice all week.

They might not play, but they they're They're definitely not a percent. So that's good news for Carson wins and company. Starting with his only two pass catchers, I'm gonna mention, and one of them is not Alican Jeffrey. No, it's Zackers and Dallas Goddard. I mean, that's it. Um, it's not an I Geoffrey and they both not play in this game. Even if they play, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter for Arts and Goddard. What do you want to talk about the wid receivers anymore? Let's talk about

the tight ends. Not an ideal matchup though, posing tight ends have total just one touchdown against Seattle over the last five weeks, while averaging just three catches and forty two yards. But Seattle is yielding eight targets per game to tight ends over the last four weeks, so they have been involved, and uh ERTs and God are probably gonna see eight targets a piece in this one. Be my estimation. Carson Winslow, I'm putting him on the bench.

Here are the passing touchdowns allowed by the Seahawks over their last seven games zero one, one, zero one, two and one. James jams in binary just spelled penis, did I really? Yeah, Winston had the two touchdowns, but he actually has wide receivers on his team, unlike the Eagles. So just uh not just a bench grade eight bench grade for Carson Wentz. I don't think two is in by it random? Do you usually not know? But that's like it's like the it's like the B plus you

keep trying to get play. Yes, yeah, it's very similar to that Denver takes on Buffalo. This is not as complicated of a matchup. I don't think on the Denver side they could travel to Buffalo. Buffalo an elite past defense, a wobbly run defense. And here comes Philip Lindsay, who got a lot of work last week. I love him in this patchup. Tell me you do too, I do. I do like him. I will say, first of all,

the over under on this game is thirty five. That's really lowest, the lowest of the week, And so I have a decent number of starters here that I'm I'm a little worried about that because I think it's gonna be low scoring in general. But yeah, Philip Lindsay, that took what eleven weeks for him to finally establish or for the Broncos understand that he had dramatically better than Royce Freeman. Out snapped Freeman last week eight touches to

just nine. I mean, he has established himself as the one, at least the one A in this backfield. Buffalo has allowed four point six yards per carry to opposing running backs. That's sort of the one area where you can move the ball against Buffalo, including three yard rushing games allowed and eight rushing touchdowns. Running Backs have also combined for twenty catches against the Bills in the last two games.

So I like Philip Lindsay here. I gave him a B. I'm not quite really ready to give him an A. If there was something in between those two grades, it sure would be convenience there. He's a B. I've got Royce Freeman on the bench just fifteen touches in the last two games, and we just talked about they're basically phasing him out here. He's more of just a change of pace guy the passing game. Lad in Air Quotes by Brandon Allen completing just under fifty of his passes

three touchdown passes in two starts. The Bills are top three past defense. They've only let one quarterback throw more than one touchdown passed against them, and Alan is an easy bench grade. And this one that brings us to Courtland Sutton. This one's a little difficult. Buffalo has only allowed four wide receivers to score, only one wide receiver top two hundred yards. That was kind of inexplicably Davante Parker last week. Sutton has been the apple of Alan's eye.

Targeted seventeen times and two starts, he has at least seventy two yards and five of his last six games, so the stats look good. Sutton sure looks good, but this matchup is really difficult. Cornerback Travi Tradavious White of the Bills has become a shutdown guy. So just fin had to start a defense with any cornerback right now, White would be the first guy. There you go. Suton comes through in this game. Automatic first round picked for me. Next year, We're gonna talk a lot more Sutton later

in this show. I gave him just a C grade in this because of the difficulty of the matchup. Number two wide receiver now it's Tim Patrick. He did have eight targets last week. I'm gonna maybe talk about him a little bit later on the show, but that was his first game off of i R last week. Let's give him another week or two before we think about putting him back in the lineup tight end Noah Funt

he's an interesting one here too. He actually leads the Broncos with twenty four targets since Emmanuel Sanders was traded a couple of games ago. That's more than Courtland Sutton seven catches and a hundred and seventy five yards in Allan's two starts. So he's been very good over the last couple of weeks. But the Bills are also very good against tight ends. No none have topped fifty seven yards. Only one has scored. So I've got fun with a C grade here as a starter on the Bill's side.

Josh Allen. He's obviously in here because of what he can do on the ground, but this is a very good Denver passing defense. Outside of their second half collapse against Kirk Cousins and the Vikings. Before that, only two quarterbacks had topped even two hundred and thirty five yards and only one had thrown more than one touchdown pass. So you're gonna right Allen here on a B grade. But he's gonna have to make it work on the ground,

which he has been doing all year. Seven rushing scores this year, including four in the last three, so you're gonna have to hope for more of that. I do have John Brown in with a starting grade with a B here hundred thirty seven yards and two touchdowns last week against Miami. He has at least five catches and seventy five yards in five of his last six games.

Now Denver has a shutdown corner two and Chris Harris he's and he did not shadow Digs though either, so he was on part of the time and Diggs went off for one yards and a touchdown. So cautiously optimistic that Brown can avoid Harris enough to be fantasy relevant this week. Don't worry about any of the other receivers, including tight end Dawson Knox, back up running game Devin Singletary fifteen or more touches and two of the last three games, he's established himself as the number one running

back here. Although Frank Gore is annoyingly still involved somewhat, mostly just at the goal line, and even then he's not good anymore. Well, and that's part of the problem too, is that Josh Allen scores some of the goal lines the goal line touchdowns as well, So single Tarry's upside here is pretty minimal because of the lack of scoring. It's yardage and Denver held Nick Chubb to sixty five yards on twenty carries. Dalvin Cooked had just twenty six yards in the last two weeks, So just a very

low C grade on singletary. That's it for this matchup. Alright, Jacksonville takes on Tennessee Leonard Fournette hopefully getting back on track. He's trending the wrong direction over the last four weeks with diminishing rushing attempts, rushing yards yards per carry four consecutive weeks. But Doug Moron after last week came out and said we've got to get Leonard for Nett back

on track. And now he gets a Titans team that over its last five games is allowing one hundred forty one total yards and a touchdown per game to opposing running backs. Leonard Fournette gets virtually all of the work, so he's gonna get If those averages were to hold, he'd be looking at one one and a touchdown. UM we for Nett when they these seems met in week three, put up ninety two yards, which is a solid performance.

I think a better one on tap here in all probability, I've got a B grade Onlinard four Net for this week. Let's go to the passing game. I expected Nick Foles to be rusty last week, and we talked a little bit about it on this show last week, and I was wrong. You look great against the Colts secondary, throwing for almost three hundred yards, completing seventy of his passes in his first game back off I r All three of Nick foles receivers have got plus matchups. Are gonna

talk about them in a little bit more too. Over the past month, the average quarterbacks start against the slumping Titan secondary three hundred twenty seven yards and two and a half touchdowns per game. WHOA, that's some solid upside for Nick Foles and that's why he has a B grade in this game. His his go to receiver, d J Shark, also with a B grade. The Titans started the season well against opposing receivers, but they've stumbled of late.

They've allowed three consecutive when hundred yard games. Mike Evans, d J Moore, Tyreek Kill those are really good receivers. But d J. Chark probably belongs in that conversation. He overcame a tough matchup last week. He'll have to do it against the Dory Jackson here, who's got good speed to match Chark and speeds a super fast receiver. But Chark had the touchdown for Nick Foles in game one. He had the two touchdowns last week from Nick Foles. Tough to leave him on the bench here. He's way

bigger than I thought. To DJ, he is a big four at least two pounds. But uh, and then how about this for a flyer. If somebody wants to just steal this for take a chance on me next segment you can. We have been your Chris Conley leader this year, correctly predicting all like three of Chris Conley's big games. This is shaping up well of his career. Yeah without

actually it is probably career. Never happened with the Chiefs conmly overwhelmingly runs from the side of the field guarded by cornerback Lashawn Sims, who is the backup to Malcolm Butler, who just went on i R. In his first start, Sims allowed all five of the passes in his coverage to be completed. Also, Sims is a slower, bigger cornerback, and Conley is just all straight line speed. So there could be a big game for for Chris Conley in

this game and he gets a sea grain. Let's go to the Tennessee side, where Derrick Henry is an obvious a and the Jaguars run defense has lapsed badly. Over the past two games, all five of the running backs to get a carry against the Jaguars has scored or top to one hundred yards. Allow me to repeat what I just said because it's so absurd. In the past two games, all five running backs to touch the ball against the Jaguars have scored or top to one hundred yards.

Derrick Henry obvious. I almost don't believe you. Do you want me to say it that that might be excess if um there are some starters in the passing game, but not many here. Ryan Tannehill with a C grade as a reminder, because they were on by last week Prior to that, it was a month of good starts for Ryan Tannehill, with multiple touchdowns and or three hundred yards in all four starts. Jaguars secondary has been awfully good. They'll they haven't even missed Jalen Ramsey over the past

six weeks. They've allowed per game averages of just two d ten yards and one point three touchdowns. Jaguars run defense is so bad. I just think the whole game plan here tilts towards Derrick Henry and I've got just a C grade on Ryan Tannehill. And the only receiver I'm recommending that you start is Delaney Walker, and that's only if he plays as he's shaping up as a true game time decision. He's had the ankle injuries missed

over a month. But if he's a full go, he faces a Jaguars defense that's been susceptible to tight ends, allowing three scores in three games. But again, it's dangerous. Walker will come into this game gimp beyond the ankle. So you're you're kind of you that's the risk you're taking, but a tight end you might not have a choice. Corey Davis and A. J. Brown are on the bench. I've mentioned the Jaguars secondary has been very good and

those guys are too inconsistent. Uh Coreya is probably coming back from his hip injury, but at this point, who cares? Who cares? Everything charged? It's me everything.

My co host and I are going to provide three quarterbacks, three running backs, and three receivers, so we believe are startable this week, beginning with Brian Johnson at the quarterback position. Who you got Next week? We'll be playing the Happy Trombone next week after goes off against the Giants this

week in Chicago. Yes, true, Whisky sucks, but he has produced in good matchups through for three touchdowns against Detroit and Washington, and this is a very good matchup. Eight of the ten quarterbacks the Giants have faced at that top ten finishes regardless of what fantasy football format you play. And Mitch Dubinski is going to run in this game, do you think so? His fifteen carries this year, Gardner Minshew has three times carries. I know why don't they

use him that way? I don't know, you know why? Because he is sad trombone ski This This is from something? Yes it is? What is it? Oh? I know this? Listener, Jim Crowley tipping me off to this? What is I know this? Man? It's from a movie. It's from a movie. It's the world's worst trombone solo. It's from American pie too. Yes, yes, yes, to pretend to pretend that he's he's like some concert trombonist. Tromp trombonist? Is that? What are you are? Tricky? Your well?

Back to the running like there's more to talk at Anyone's just stop, Giant said, seeing the second most rushing attempts by quarterbacks and allowed the most rushing touchdowns to quarterback. So he's going to sam rushing touchdown? All right, what other quarterback can we use? We can use Ryan Fitzpatrick this week chart. I'm a little surprised and quite frankly saddened that you you chose here to take a chance on me guys before me and passed up a golden

opportunity and collect beard. This one is all about the matchup. Well, first, let's get into a weird a little bit here. He's been wildly inconsistent, but he did manage three in twenty three yards against a very good Buffalo secondary, which I outlined in the previous matchup, and he had multiple touchdown passes in two of three games before that, so he's finding a way to move the ball to Ande Parker

looks pretty good at wide receiver. But this, of course, is about the matchup with the Browns, who you may have heard have some suspensions coming into this game. Miles Garrett is out, Larry Ogan job is out. They've already been missing Olivier Vernon, Morgan Burnett. They're missing four of their top starters on defense, and even before all of

that happened, they were a bottom half passing defense. They've allowed at least two touchdowns to seven of the last eight quarterbacks they faced, and that was against guys like Brandon Allen, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Jared Goff, not even good players. So Ryan Fitzpatrick this week, let's roll with Stu Beard. Jimmy, she's pretty good. I've got Jeff Chris Driskell going up against what he did? Uh, Jeff Driskell shock He played

shockingly well last week. Actually, in both of his starts, he's played very well and against good defenses Chicago and Dallas. His twenty four point after last week would have beaten the Cowboys if his defense wasn't completely broken. He goes up against the Redskins. They won excellent cornerback Quentin Dunbar, two terrible ones, Fabian Moreau and Josh Norman. Josh Norman, by the way, gave up two touchdowns last week in his coverage most frequently Kenny Golladay and Danny Amandola are

gonna line up against those two. Those are exploitable matchups for Jeff Durriskull. Let's go to the running back position, Brian, who you got? You actually might want to fire up the time machine for this one charge because it's a blast from the past Jets versus the Rai. He looked good last week in sort of limited action. I don't know if you watched, but I had some great runs. Should have scored if not for the turf monster at

FedEx Field in Washington or Maryland for that matter. Um who has not had great runs this year's Levon Bell hasn't topped seventy rushing yards in the game this year disaster. Two weeks ago, Bell was playing playing over the snaps. He's hovering right above six right now. Oakland had a really good run defense early on, but they've allowed over five yards per carry over the last three games against some pretty bad offensive lines to like the Bengals and

the Lions. And lastly, we all know Powell can catch the ball and um, let me see I had a good stat here for that. Hold on one second, the Raiders have allowed at least one receiving touchdown to a running back in four straight games. Back, that is deep. I like it. Let's go to Christian Peterson. Who's your take a chance of me running back? Let's go back to this riveting Dolphins Brown's matchup. I'm gonna go with Patrick Laird all right, tell us running back for the Dolphin.

He's a running back, an undrafted rookie from California. If you haven't seen him, he has similar traits physically to running backs like Christian McCaffrey, Danny Woodhead. I'm sure Meryl Hodge, Mike cal stots what, they all have a similar physical character. They're all very good football players. Yes, they all played running back. They all played running back. Yes, yeah, that's the only similarities I could find between all those players.

He used a lot of eye black, that's true. Yeah, yeah, so Patrick laired right now, he's somehow is still behind Kaylin Blah on the running back the chart there, despite Belage averaging last week forty three point seven inches per Touchlage is awful. At some point they have to turn the page here, and it could be this week, and it could be Patrick Laird. He had six receptions last week, so he's clearly the pass catching guy. If you're in a PPR league. God knows, it's not Bolage, not Blage.

We know that. So if he keeps those catches, keeps the receiving work, and adds in ten or twelve touches against this beat up, broken down defense, you never know. Take a chance on Patrick Laird. I have to make a quick correction. I meant to say before the Bengals game last week, the Raiders had at least one receiving touchdown in fourth straight. Didn't last week against the Bengals. But that changes everything. And I know that was just

it was just gnawing at me. I just saidn't. I couldn't concentrate into fix that might take a chance to be running back is A one A and one B. Two guys from the same team. Jalen Samuels, who's largely already rostered, but then Benny s l who's coming off of injury and is available much more readily, in fact available in most leagues. They go up againt Cincinnati. Now James Conner is, barring a last minute resurrection, is not going to go in this game. In fact, he's been

ruled out. He's been ruled out. Jalen Samuels has average nineteen touches per game in the two full games Connor has missed, so you know he's gonna get plenty of touches. But he's no workhorse, and especially as a runner, so they will go to Benny Snell to do a lot of the running. This is a Bengals team allowing one hundred sixty three total yards per game to opposing running backs. That the third most in the league. If it's a hundred and sixty three divided by both guys, they're both

value plays at that stage. The forty Niners, Cardinals, and Rams dual back fields all had lucrative fantasy days, and I think there's a good opportunity here for both Benny Snell and Jalen Samuel's to get it done. Um runners who got in the eight to fourteen carry range. This is very specific on there's who got in the eight to fourteen carry range against the Bengals average fifty rushing yards and almost one touchdown per game. Let's go to

the wild receiver position. Brian who you got, I'm going Batman and Robin here and pairing Mitch Dubiskie with Taylor Gabriel was just a still playing and I went all in on the Bengals last week. It wasn't a total disaster. Tad Okay, I hope he's feeling all right, but anyway,

Taylor Gabriel against the Giants. Gabriel saw fourteen targets last week, with Jalen Ramsey shadowing Allen Robinson to North Jenkins probably shadows a rob For the most part, it doesn't really matter that Jenkins is a sort of a show of his former self. It means Taylor Gabriel was he a ton of rookie corner DeAndre Baker who's getting flamed this year, allowing a touchdown in every eight point five targets he sees and a pass the rating of a hundred and

forty nine point nine. So he made a play once. I guess right, I guess that subtracks point one from your something like that. Yeah, Taylor Gabriel. Taylor Gabriel, all right, I'm gonna go with tight end here, Ryan Griffin with the Cardinals on a by this week, we need some other defense to pick on for our tight end streamer this week, So let's enter the Raiders. The Jets opponent

this week. There a bottom three tight end defense. They've allowed seven tight end touchdowns this year, and Griffin has actually been really pretty good over the last month or so. He's kind of become what everybody thought Chris Herndon was going to be before the year before injuries side uh sidetracked his season. Griffin had five catches, a hundred nine yards, and a touchdown last week. He had three Fantasy relevant performances in the five weeks before that, topping fifty yards

and two of them three touchdowns in that span. So Griffin is legit here. If you've got a buy issue, if you've got Travis Kelsey maybe on buy look to Ryan Griffin for your streamer. When Mohammed Sanu went to the Patriots, by the way, she out this week, so keep keeping out of your lineup. M Russell Gauge became the slot receiver for the Falcons. He goes up against

Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay is now on their third slot corner of the year, and with Ston Hooper out and DeVonta Freeman out, there's gonna be a lot of volume to go around. Russell Gauge has seen eighteen targets over the past three games. That's all you need against Tampa Bay. They're giving up two hundred forties six yards just to the wide receiver position, second most in the league. It's

a great opportunity. That's over the last three games. Over the last three games, by the way, four different receivers of top one yards. It was the last three games. Eight receiver touchdowns allowed by Tampa Bay in three games. Russell Gauge, you take a chance of me and final, uh, take a chance of me player for this particular segment, we were gonna work in one quick matchup as well, Brian. The Giants are taking on Chicago. The last time we saw st Kwon Barkley, it was a disaster, and now

he travels to Chicago for a very tough matchup. What do you think of se Kwon Barkley in this one? I love him a nobody wants the recency bias, and yet Chicago really not that daunting of a matchup without a Keem Hicks. They've allowed nine rushing touchdowns running backs in the six games since losing the Key Micks, and the Bears have yielded the second most targets of running backs to the season. We've seen se Quon Barkley a lot double digit passes multiple times, so I love so

this year. Yep, that's true because Eli Manning is not the court. But anyway, because they can throw the ball downfield now alright, so the wide receiver situation is pretty sticky here for New York Sterling Shepherd was cleared on Friday, so he will play. I had a not even a salad, be a salad sea on Golden Tate if Shepherd sat, But now that Shepherd's playing, I don't know. Don't stay with it. Shephard probably helps Tate. Well, it's an awful

matchup all around. Uh, speaking to Tate, and whoever runs out the slot, it's gonna be Tate and Shephard, probably mainly Tate. Over the last four games, Chicago has held slot receivers through thirty nine yards per game and no touchdowns. That includes guys like Keenan Allen and Cooper Cup. So

see for Tate. I'm gonna put Shepherd and Slate and the bench just because the Bears have allowed only one wide receiver touchdown since Week four, and during that same stretch only Stephan Digs and Michael Thomas were able to top eighty receiving yards. And these guys aren't as got not as good. Uh. And Evan Ingram speaking of players who are out, he is out. His backup, Rett Ellison is out. I don't even know where the backup is off the top of my head right now, but you

do not want to play him. Outside of a big day by zach ertz Uh a few weeks back, Chicago has not allowed any other tight end to top four catches or fifty yards. And Daniel Jones is on the

bench too, and this one. Chicago is allowing less than one passing touchdown per game on average, and only one quarterback has hit three d passing yards and that was case Keenum in garbage time over the Bear side, starting with David Montgomery will give him a b. Even though over the last three weeks the snap percentage has dropped from seventy three to sixty one to forty six last week. UH,

you'd expect the snap percentage to climb this week. Though the Bears are favored at home, the Giants owned the fourth highest opponent rushing play percentage and opposing lead backs have scored in or top two hundred and ten compoyards and I with the Giants last six. So let's put a b on David Montgomery. I'm putting three Cone on

the bench, though there's no angle here. The Giants haven't surrendered receiving scored to a running back, and only two loan backs have topped four receptions and those were James White and Dalvin Cook. Treat Cone is not in that company. Allen Robinson. You gonna give him an a though, even with Mitch Rubisky as his quarterback, he looks great. Uh. He had Jalen Ramsey beat multiple times last week, but Sad Trombosky just couldn't find him. Might get shadowed by

Genera's Jenkins. I mentioned that, but bay rob also runs out of the slot a third of the time. He'll be all over the place. I just like a Mulot on this weekend, and also like Taylor Gabriel against this awful Giants secondaries. Might take a chance on me. Wide receiver Anthony Miller almost gave him a starting grade. Eleven targets for him last week, but just uh six combined looks in the three games prior, so we got to see more from him than Ben braw Necker. That's the

tight end now. They actually threw to him a punch or brow Brownecker Brown. But tight ends have actually done nothing against the Giants this year. I'm like last year they were a media match up. So he's on the bench, but Mitch Chubisky is not. Might take a chance on me quarterback. Did you know fanball has daily fantasy auctions, Yes, auctions. You love auctioning in the preseason.

You can hear us over the air on many stations around the country, and this show is also a podcast a bailable every Friday and all major podcasting platforms, including the number one destination for podcasts, the I Heart Radio app. Let's get back to the matchups Miami takes on Cleveland. Christian, you already told us

you like Mighty Loves Stu Beard, Ryan Fitzpatrick. You told us about Patrick Laird. Who do you like Fitzpatrick to throw too? In this game? Well, there's really only one off it really is there. We'll keep this short and sweetest. Davante Parker. Uh. Parker has been consistently Albert Wilson a loyal listener to this show, and he's pissed right now. Well, he needs to do something before he gets mentioned here.

But Parker, the problem here is that the matchup is actually pretty difficult against a Cleveland secondary that hasn't allowed a one hud yard receiver since week three. They have two very good cornerbacks, Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams. Parker likely draws Ward, who has allowed just fifteen catches for two d and thirty eight yards in his coverage this year, so across ten games, that's like less than twenty five

yards per game. So I gave Parker a b start here because I like there's injuries all over the Browns front seven, so they Fitzpatrick should have time to find guys, and the one guy that he looks to is DeVante Parker. Titan Mike just Sicky has actually been somewhat relevant, targeted six times each of the last three games, but he's not doing much with those looks, so let's keep him on the bench for now. That brings us to the running game. Patrick Laird was might take a chance on

me running back. What do you do with Blage is the problem. He probably will get fifteen to twenty touches in this game. Yeah, against the defense that was allowing four point seven five yards per carry to opposing backs before the two suspensions here, you can't put him in your flex spot. It's like if you have to if there's no other running back. Essentially, it's when you pl kalm Bloge. It's that bad opportunity. He's not gonna get that.

He's not gonna get catches. He might get a touchdown, but he might also get twenty touches for twenty three yards, which is fully capable of. Yes, so he's a high risk. He's he's a high risk, low reward on the brown side for once. I have a whole bunch of starting grades here. Uh, this could be the moment we've all been waiting here against the Dolphins. I've got Baker Mayfield with just a B grade here. He's been better recently, completing over six his passes in the last five games,

multiple touchdowns in two straight. And the Dolphins, as we know, are just no good defensively. Seven of ten Dolphins opposing quarterbacks have thrown for at least two hundred and forty six yards the only the only two that haven't thrown multiple touchdown passes against them are Sam Donald and Bryan Hoyer. So good chance for Baker Mayfield to to get off the schneide here. And of course Odell Beckham Jr. Same

kind of deal here. Only one team has allowed more wide receiver touchdowns than the Dolphins, John Brown just last week hundred and thirty seven yards and two touchdowns. Beckham Beckham owners are desperately hoping for a breakout like that, and it could come here. This is an A grade here Jarvis Landry. We've got a revenge game here for Landry, and he scored touchdowns in three straight at least five catches and three of his last four, so he's an easy start this week as a B grade. That brings

me to the running game. Notably, David Najoku still out. He's on i R. Could have returned this week technically, but he's not quite ready yet, so he's out. Nick Chubb is an easy A. At least twenty rushing attempts in five straight games, He'll be the workhorse against Miami defense that that's allowed the NFL's second most running back

rushing attempts and its second most yards. Chubb is an easy A. Kareem Hunt in PPR formats, he's actually outscored Chubb in the in the game since he came back, averaging nine targets a game and game and the new James White Yeah, combined thirteen catches in those games. He also has ten ten carries too, so an average of five carries. So in a game like this that's probably gonna be a blowout. Kareem Hunt, He's got a B grade. He's a very star borderline. Hey, borderline. Yeah, I love

Kareem Hunt in this matchup. Um, since Pittsburgh stakeing in Cincinnati already told you about Jalen Samuel's and Benny Snell. Those are my my, my one A and one B. Take a chance on me, guys, and I've got a I've got a B grade on Samuel's. I've got a C grade on Benny Snell. Let's go to the passing game. Mason Rudolph's on the bench. He's not good. The Steelers don't need to pass to beat the Bengals because they're so bad against the run. Um. He'll be without Juju

Smith Schuster for sure. He maybe without Deante Johnson. We don't know yet. He was last seen with blood gushing out of his ear. It's a like a waterfall of blood just shooting out of the ear, like down the side of his face. One of you somewhere in between those two things. UM, I think he's playable. Assumming get through the concussion protocol here. Over the past five weeks, the Bengals are allowing the second most yards to wide

receivers two nine per game. Drake Kirkpatrick, there's best cornerback went on I r a couple of weeks ago. It's a nice opportuny to do for Deonte Johnson, assuming he goes for James Washington. I think if Juju Misses and Johnson are out, you might want to try James Washington here. But man, he's he's been mostly disappointing, although showing signs of life last week. So I do have a C grade on James Washington and to see great advance McDonald.

Cincinnati is a terrible tight end defense. Six different tight ends up top fifty yards over the last two weeks alone. They've given up one hundred fifty nine yards and three touchdowns two tight ends in the last two weeks. Let's go to the Cincinnati's side. We've just got a couple of startable players, Joe Mixon since benching Andy Dalton, mixing his average twenty three rushing attempts and one hundred twenty

seven total yards per game. It doesn't matter how badly the Bengals are losing, they keep trying to give the ball to Joe Mixon and run out the clock to end the game quickly. They're they're quietly doing mercy rule here. On the other hand, the Steelers haven't allowed of running back touchdown in their last five games. That said, big volume guys like Marlon Mack and Todd Gurley and Nick Chubb val at nice yardage games in that span, So all the girl is not always a big volume guy.

But he had a nice game, so there's an opportunity for mixing. I've got to be great on him. The only other starting grade is Tyler Boyd. Unhappy with his meager three targets last week, he complained about it vociferously, and you know, more often than not, the squeaky wheel gets some grease when you're a good player, and Tyler Boyd's their best receiver, at least the best receiver on

the fields. J Green is not going again. The Steelers pass coverage has softened of late, allowing the fourth most touchdowns and fifteenth most yards per game to opposing receivers over the last three weeks. Steelers slot corner Mike Hilton allowing completion rate in his coverage. So I think Boyd could get a little something done here, and that's it. Ryan Finley and the rest of the passing game way on the bench. Brian Finley is so much worse than

Andy Dalton. I don't even. I mean, I understand they want to see what they got in the kid, but you know, at some point you think you've seen enough. I don't. He's I thought they were gonna give Dalton his job back earlier this week, but the announced they're starting family the rest of the year. Although teams do that and that's changed their mind when they're they're guys terrible. So we'll see about that how long that holds up. Last matchup of this segment is Carolina taking on New

Orleans Kyle Allen. I was really high in Kyle Allen coming into last weeks. I thought he had played really well and he couldn't have looked worse. Well, what you need to pay attention to is marsha On Lattimore, the Saints standout cornerback. He practiced on Friday, but non contact, so he didn't Lendsday, didn't practice Thursday, nontact Friday. My hunches. He does not play in it, so that that upgrade. Let's le's assume he plays, but he's not a hundred percent.

I don't know, we'll assume he doesn't play. Either way, he's not a percent, So I'll give Alan a see. But He's more of like a two quarterback super flex play on fan ball. Perhaps the Saints maybe no no, no shot shocked it out much of his see he really is. The Saints have surrendered at least two passings wars and six of ten games, so Alan, I'll give him off see um over to his past catchers d

J Moore b if Latimore plays. Obviously, if Latimore is out ten plus targets in three straight games for DJ more, he and Kyle Allen really are clicking. Curtis Samuel not clicking this year. He is one of twenty wide receivers with at least seventy five targets, but he's been a disappointment for the most part. He will likely see a lot of Eli Apple. Uh. And Samuel did burn Eli Apple for a fifty three yard touchdown in the Superdome last season or whatever the Dome is called these days.

And uh, Samuel is a burner. Just his fourth game in a dome, by the way, this will be so I think he'll pop off here. Greg Olsen gets the sea in the dead Sea of tight ends, New Orleans has only allowed one tight end touchdown, but they did just give up ten catches to Cameron Brait last week for seventy three yards. So in the waste land, greg Olson gets a SEA and Christian McCaffrey probably the closest he'll he'll get to a B. But I'm not gonna do. It's still gonna give him an he can't make. You

can't get yourself to do. Held to a hundred and sixty combo yards in the two games against the Saints

last season, though did not score. It's the Saints are still great against the run against running backs set for that uh, The Orlands hasn't give up more than nineteen receiving yards to weight back over their last four games, and only one running back has topped forty rushing yards during that span, but none of those backs were CMC and the Saints have yielded the third most red zone targets for running backs and have surrendered a receiving score to the position in back to back game. So I'm

back to an A for Christian McCaffrey. I'm sorry. Charged over the stain side. Alvin Kamara, he definitely gets an A. Alvin Kamara has played against the Panthers four times in his career, has only carried the ball thirty five times. In those four games, he scored five touchdowns. Scored in every game total of five touchdowns. Carolina has allowed twelve rushing touchdowns and running backs over their last six games. Wow, yeah, this is this fantasy. This might be the worst run

defense in the NFL right now. Never would think could be the Panthers and never has been in the past. And that makes Latavius Marius lamb dunk c probably a B. Is well, I'll give him a B here just because the matchup is so good and the matchup is always so good for Michael Thomas can give him an A here. Four catches through ten games a new record right now. DeAndre Hopkins is second with eight one, but he played

on Thursday night, got extra game under his belt. The Panthers have surrendered the most catches to wide receivers this season, so that that math adds up nicely. But I can't go to bat for Ted gin or Trey Kwan Smith. No other floors are horrifying Jared Cook, It's kind of a horrifying matchup for him. Caroline has some other deposing tight ends, having only allowed one touchdown to the position

since Week ten. Orry Week one and outside George Kittle, no tight end has exceeded four catches or sixty yards, and Drew Brees barely gets the sea. The last time Breeds through at least three touchdown passes against Carolina was September. The Panthers have allowed zero or one passing touchdowns and seven of ten games, and new quarterback has thrown for three all season. It's all about running on the Panthers. You get ahead, you run, then you just keep running.

That's the that's the recipe, and that's what's gonna happen here. Can we up next? Let answer three tough questions you can play along, try to go a perfect three and oh with our panel of experts on Fantasy Football Weekly. Don't don't don't don't you really don't? You don't know? Don't you don't do you? Don't do you? Welcome back Fantasy Bob, Always, Play'm Pulse, Archie and fanball dot Com. My co hosts are Christian Peterson and Brian Johnson. All right, guys,

it's uh time to roll up our sleeves. So three tough questions listeners you can play along. See if you can go three and oh off Question number one, the schedule for the Cowboys turns tough beginning this week. How worried should Cowboy owners be a not at all, be somewhat nervous, or see a bowl loosening level of existential dread.

We begin with Brian Johnson. Alright, so this week it's at New England and Buffalo, at Chicago, Rams at home, then at Philly, and according to Fantasy Pros, that is the fourth hardest remaining schedule for running backs, the third hardest for wide receivers, and the second hardest for quarterbacks.

Of course, some of these matchups are better for the running backs and they are for the wide receivers and such, so I don't I'm just got to say somewhat nervous because it's a mixed bag of bad matchups but good for something. It depends who you're talking about. But there are a lot of almost stoppers at certain position points here, so I'll say somewhat nervous. I also said somewhat nervous

like you. I went and looked at the at the schedule and New England, Buffalo and Chicago in the next three weeks, those are those are the real issues here in New England is number one against just about everything. Buffalo is number two or three against just about every position in Chicago. Uh. You mentioned in the matchup they're having a little more trouble against running backs, but but against the past they are elite level two. So it maybe depends a little bit on what your fantasy playoff

prognosis is right now. I'd be a little bit more nervous if I was at like five hundred and trying to scrape into the playoffs, because the next three are pretty tough. The Rams and Philly in weeks fifteen and sixteen, they're not easy, but they're more middle of the road, so I'm less nervous about those. So overall, again, it depends if you're on easy street going into the playoffs, I'm not that worried. If you're struggling to get in

right now, then then I'm pretty somewhat okay. All right, Um, here's the passing touchdowns per game allowed over the next for the next four opponents, passing touchdowns allowed per game zero point four, zero point eight, zero point nine, and one point two. That's Dak Prescott on you know you're hoping for one touchdown per game if everything, if everything had you're if you get one per game, You've outscored

most quarterbacks against these teams. Here's the rushing touchdowns per game over the next month allowed for Ezekiel Elliott zero point one per game, zero point eight per game, one per game, and zero point six. Again, if you can get to one, you're far outpacing with These defenses usually give up to opposing running backs. The key here we're heading into the playoffs. One bad game. If you get the dud from Zeke, if you get the dud from Dak,

your seasons over. And that is why the remaining schedule for the Cowboys should give you a bowl loosening level of existential dread. For many of you. Your your trading deadline is coming up in a a matter of hours. This is your last best chance to move your Cowboys. Do it tough. Question Number two, can fantasy owners just dropped James Conner Christian I'm gonna say no. Uh. The injury is obviously worrisome here. It's an a C joint sprain

and the shoulder. The Steelers somewhat strange, they're treating this somewhat strangely. They kind they're kind of saying that he's day to day. They clearly brought him back to early last week because he reinjured it. But then this week they didn't really rule him out until very late in the week on Friday. So it doesn't seem like it's

a super serious injury. But at the same time, I'm not going to trust him for at least a couple of a couple of weeks, but weeks fifteen and sixteen, I still want him in case he gets back to full health. They have, Yeah, Buffalo, that that's that's a tough matchup. But but Jets run defense has but awesome all year. They have, but nobody else has really established themselves here for Pittsburgh. Jalen Samuels can't run the ball, he can catch the ball. I just think Connor was

an absolute work horse when he was healthy. He's a top ten running back when healthy. I'm not gonna just outright drop him. I need I need to hold onto him in case it comes back to So no, do not drop him, all right, And Brian, what are you saying. I'm gonna say no, but for different reasons. I'm just gonna hold them in hopes that he plays against the Browns next week. With all the suspensions and whatnot they have, but Arizona and Week fourteen, tough matchup Bills and Jets.

The Jets are We'll get getting to that matchup later. They're really good run defense. Now, I don't know if i'd be confident starting James Conner in those bad matchups. James Conner doesn't even finish half the games he starts. It seems like he always gets no, you know which side you said? I don't know said, and then he gave nothing but reasons to drop him. But no, not because of the Browns. Even in case he plays, I'll start him next week. So no, all right, should have

dropped him weeks ago, that's answer. He's been on the injury report. James Connor has been on the injury report every week of the season. This week he did, he got ruled out on Friday. He didn't even make it the game time decision this week when he comes back. How do you start James Conner not knowing if he's gonna make it out of the first quarter. And the Steelers can't possibly be so delusional that they still view

James Connor as a workhorse. Come on, I know they want their workhorse backs, but obviously it can't be James Connor. He's proven it every way possible for over a year. What's more, this offense is in reverse. Mason Rudolph is so bad you can't trust him to get past the fifty yard line and any given drive. And lastly, on James Conner and another reason, you could just dagger him right now, do they just shut him down at some point?

I mean there are five and five team if they lose two out of the next three or whatever, that shut just down, just just stop now with the charade of James Conner. They're gonna beat the Bengals and then they're gonna play you know that. Do you know Mason Rodolph can beat the Bengals. No, but I don't either. And then they got Cleveland after that, and you know that's I think they could easily lose one of those two and then maybe they lose an next one of

that's over seasons done. James Conner. So bitter about James Conner, Well, I'm really not. You had him as you had him as like that, You're sea coming into the year and here he is a top ten fantasy. I so nailed I so nailed. The shade on James Conner in the preseason. It's like eight weeks for you to be right weeks Connor. Connor has not been anywhere close to a top ten running back from the majority of this year. Ali's Ali does is give you headaches and frustration. Question number three

is Courtland Sutton a top five fantasy wide receiver? Brian all right, if we're talking top five, you were talking Michael Thomas, DeAndre Hopkins, Julio Jones, Mark Cooper, Mike Evans, Tyreek Kill, Odell Beckham, Still, Chris Godwin, Davante Adams. Sutton would probably be right with those guys, if not for the quarterback situation in Denver, which is just awful. I got lock it in tier with uh, you know, Tyler Lockett,

Kenny Golladay, Dealing, Dealing Diggs. He leads. Sutton leads that pack when it comes to dynasty though, by the way, and probably Redraft. But he's wide receiver eight or nine from me right now. But if they get a quarterback in Denver, watch out because he is legit. But he's outside the top five for me as of right now.

All Right, I think you're just smitten after watching Sutton carve up the Vikings secondary of this past week, a Vikings secondary that, by the way, everybody onfl but overall, he's just right now in a in a standard scoring system, he's the number sixteen wide receiver. From a fantasy perspective, he has just two yard games last week was the second of the year, just four touchdowns, and then Brian hit on it as well with Brandon Allen there, you just can't depend on him as as as really anywhere

near a top five guy. I've got him outside probably on in the twelve range, not even close to top five. That's interesting, almost made a top seven because I thought that was a lot closer to where he has going to be. A tougher question. Yeah, that's crazy. Uh, here's why. Above all else, you want your you want your players to not dagger your own team. And what Courtland Sutton does really well is no bad games. Since Week two, his worst game is a seventy three yard scoreless game.

That's his worst game for Courtland Sutton. His average game is eighty one yards and a coin flips chance at a touchdown. Eighty one yards is well. Who else, by the way, is eighty one yards and a coin flips chance and a touchdown. Well, that's Julio Jones. That's that's actually more yards than Tyler Lockett gives you. Although Locket's got two more touchdowns, it's more yards than Tyler Lockett. Quietly, Courtland Sutton is in conversation with these guys in terms

of production. I know it's not name recognition. He's not he's is he Julio Jones? No, of course that we talk about Ulio Jones a receiver for day years. But from a production standpoint, Courtland Sutton is not that far off of these guys. And if I said, right now, you could have Courtland Sutton or Tyreek Hill. Given the injury situation with Tyreek Hill, that's I think that's a trickier conversation to have. All that said, he's still not a top five guy, so you're right, he's not top five,

but he's close's closer than we think. I think it's a startup. Empire might be a startup you might be in. You're in an Empire league, you're in a dynasty league. I think it would make sense. I'm just rubbing it into CEP traded Sutting to meet earlier in the season. Really, well, what do you get well, yeah, I mean, you know it was. It was. Actually it would take a hold. It would take us fifteen minutes to analyze it. I'm speaking of what's gonna take fifteen music good deal. Dallas

taking on the Patriots could take fifteen minutes. Because this is the thorn thorny matchup. It's thorny, made even thornier by the fact that it came out today that half the Cowboys team is suffering from the flu late in the week. So that's something to keep an eye on. Although none of the none of the A players here, none of the fantasy players were really mentioned. They gave

Dack some kind of magic medicine, right, the medicine. The Beat writers came out with this tweet that said, you know, six players are affected by the flu, but don't worry. They gave Dak and they found a way to cure the flu before it even happens, apparently for Dak, But anyways, keep an eye on that. Anybody else also keep an eye on. It's just so weird because all of the Cowboys players have been really, really good, but the Patriots

defense is insanely good. So I basically took all the grades that I would have given the Cowboys and knocked them down a full full letter grade. So Prescott has a B instead of an A because the Patriots have allowed just four passing touchdowns all year long. We know how great Dak Prescott has been. He'd be an A under any other circumstances, but a B here, A Marii Cooper, I've got him at a B. He is battling through knee and ankle injuries, held in check by Darius Slay

last week with just three catches. This week's matchup maybe even tougher against Stephon Gilmore. Per Pro Football Focus, Gilmore is allowing just forty five percent completions UH on passes thrown his well his way. He's held opposing wide receivers to averages of just thirty five yards, and none have scored. Really, really tough matchup for Cooper here, normally an A. I

gave him a B here because of that matchup. Michael Gallup, Let's give him a C. Targeted twenty nine times in three in his last three games, touchdowns in consecutive games before going off for a hundred and forty eight yards last week. Well, Unfortunately he draws cornerback Jason mccordy, a lesser name than Gilmore, but according to Pro Football Focus, he's even better. He's allowed just twenty four point six

so he's also very good. Only one wide receiver is top to even seventy eight yards against the Patriots and only one have scored, so again, a tough tough matchup for the wide receivers here. Jason Witten tight ends have scored three times in the last three games against the Patriots. That appears to be how people are moving the ball, and Witten has twenty one targets and fifteen catches in the last three games, so maybe that's how they're going

to move the ball here. Of the touchdowns given up by the Patriots have been to the tight ends, So a c C grade out here on Witten. As much as he don't love him, Ezekiel Elliott, let's give him a B. He's been struggling in recent weeks, held under three yards per carry by both the Vikings and the Lions in his last two games, and by the way, injure both injury depleted Vikings and Lions defensive lines all right, and the Patriots they allow over four yards per carry,

but only one running back has scored against them. On the other hand, Nick Chubb did go for a hundred and thirty one yards against them two weeks ago, mark Ingram a hundred and fifteen last week, so they can be beat on the ground, and it feels like that's the way Dallas is going to try to move the ball here, So b grade on Ezekiel Elliott. I know this is already a long thorny match up, but let me just enter jack. The Tony Pollard came in with it and had a couple of touches that look really

really good. I and the way that Zeke is struggling, you know, Tony should already be rostered and somebody sharing to be handcuffing him at this time of year. But if he's not, Tony Pollard makes a lot of sense to be if we get an uptick and Tony Pollard's usage undefeated, when he has like six or seven touches or something, they just they use him. They win. So but he had just twelve snaps last week, he had

four catches and the nice and the nice touchdown. But yeah, he's on He's on your bench for now until they prove that they're going to use them more. On the Patriots side, Tom Brady. Just to see starting grade here. Only one quarterback has thrown for more than twitter and thirty eight yards against the Cowboys since Week one. None have thrown more than two touchdowns, and Brady just quite frankly hasn't been very good in the last five or six games. Just to see here, Julian Edelman is an

a basically on volume alone. He is a target hog double digit targets in five straight games. And the Cowboys are vulnerable to slot wide receivers, having yielded a seventy three percent completion rate on slot targets this year. So Edelman is in the rest of the receiving corps is really banged up. Mohammed Sanum may or may not play. He's officially questionable. Same with Philip dor Set battling through

a concussion. Maybe to keep an eye on rookie to Keel Harry, who played pretty well last week in his first game after since coming off. I r but nothing to see here at the at receiver beyond Edelman. I'm not gonna dig deep enough for Ben Watson here at tight end. That brings us to the Sony Walkman. I gave him a C letter starting grade here forty two yards or less than three of the last four scoreless

in three straight. The numbers aren't good, but Dallas allows over four yards per carry and nine running back touchdowns in ten games, so maybe a short touchdown here is what you're hoping for from Walkman. And also, by the way, linebacker Layton Vandersch, one of their leading tacklers, one of their best players out for this one with a neck injury. James White is the guy that you want to look at, though, because the Cowboys are more susceptible to pass catching backs.

Aaron Jones had seven catches against them, se Kwon Barkley six, Dalvin Cook seven. So James White I gave a B starting grade two. Right, that's a that's a beefy matchup right there. As we like to say, what do you give Antonio Brown if they if the Patriots they signed him again and him off of Instagram or whatever, and there's could happen. Who knows.

Pool dot com slash chart. We're back in moments with a matchup that only fantasy owners could love, both Scarborough versus Darius. Guys, we'll tell you what to do with that one. A

weekend back Fantasy Football Weekly. Fantasy Football Weekly returns and we are diving back into the matchups. But first, did you know you can play super flex salary cap at famball dot com if you love starting to quarterbacks or four right ends yeah, or for or for running back. Most importantly, you start zero team defense. Yeah, this whole team defense thing and in DFS has gotta go. Um, that's a whole different story. Let's talk about Detroit taking

on Washington. It's kind of a dog mud game, but there are some opportunities, particularly on the Lions side, where already gave you Jeff Driscolls might take a chance on the quarterback I really like him. Kenny Golladay gets a straight up a. He runs the majority of his routes on Josh Norman's side. Of the field. Norman's been roasted for seven touchdowns in his coverage. That's I believe the worst in the league. And get this, seven touchdowns on

forty five passes defended. That's it. How do you do that? How are you giving up a touchdown every eight passes that comes your way? That's ridiculous. You get paid and then that comes your way. I'm doing some multiplication now. Uh So, Kenny Golladay and a grade. Danny Amendola gets a startable grade with a SEA and I almost gave him a b Other slot receivers have done very well here he gets. Fabian Moreau is his coverage cornerback. He's

not very good. We saw Jamison Crowder score touchdown, Cole Beasley score touchdown, Julian Edelman score touchdown from the slot position. There's a great opportunity for Danny Amendola as a dart throw in the final bye week of the year. Marvin Jones though, just to see grade and really might want to be on the bench. He runs about fifty percent of his snaps up against Quinton Dunbar. That is a tough matchup. Dunbar is a great cornerback, quietly one of

the better corner young quarterbacks in the league. And I don't love Jones here, but he doesn't want all of his snaps against dun Bar, so he is still startable with a C. Gray aid, let's go to boast Scarborough. Oh, by the way, while we're in the passing game, t J. Hockenson is it got. It's a decent matchup with Washington, but yeah, just not enough usage for Hockinson. He's just not seeing enough balls. As we well. Ryan Griffin had

the big game last week. Before that, they hadn't allowed a tight end to go over sixty yards and that included Ingram George Kittle. All the more reason to keep t J. Hockenson on the bench. Both Scarborough gets a C grade here. Washington has allowed rushing touchdowns in six of the past seven. They've also given up at least a hundred ten yards two runners in four straight games. Both Scarborough will get most of the work here, but we're gonna see a rotation of guys again just to

see grade for Scarborough. And it's unclear who will get the any goal line carries, but I think it would be him. So that might be your best chance here is to get a goal line carry at a Boat Scarborough. On the Washington side, there's only two guys that you care about two and a half. Adrian Peterson may or may not go. He's probably shaping up as a game time decision with his toe injury to not practice Wednesday

or Thursday if he on Friday. Darius Guy is tempting because he had the eye popping touchdown reception, But what people don't realize is he also carried the ball seven times and only put up twenty four yards on the ground last week and couldn't really even hold off Windell Smallwood. No right when all Smallwood in the mix way more than he ever should have been. Now, the Lions have given up the second most running back touchdowns in the league,

so there is an opportunity for guys here. But I'll note that the Lions run defense has been better the last couple of weeks with Mike Daniels back at defensive tackles. So guys were just a C grade, and if Adrian Peterson is active, then honestly, I think I might just sit both of them. Then. Terry McLaren's the only other guy that you care about. He has a C grade. He draws Darius Slay probably who held him Marie Cooper in check. Slays very good for the most part. He's

shut down a bunch of good receivers this year. Now. McLaren moved to the slot a lot more last week. He ran his place from the slot last week, and Darius Slay does not go to the slot, So Washington could keep using McLaurin in the slot to draw better coverage and avoid Slay. And that's why he has a C grade in this matchup. Let's go to Oakland taking on the Jets. Brian for the Raiders, it's a tricky matchup for Josh Jacobs, who has been so good you

just play him every week. But the Jets defense against the run has been sneaky great, and they're so bad against the past, and you feel like this is gonna be a Derek Carr led offense. Yeah, you kind of do, but you still gotta play Jacobs. But you really have to temporar your expectations soft be here for Josh Jacobs. Jets very tough against the run. Like you said, they are ranked second by Football Outsiders against the run, and imposing running backs are averaging just a tick over three

yards per carry. That said, the Jets have yielded the third most red zone touches to running backs of this year, and the Raiders should be able to move the ball through the air against New York. And that's why Tyrelle Williams gets an a Jets have allowed well before the redskin receivers didn't score a touchdown last week. They touchdown a verse redskin. The three games prior, the Jets have allowed ten wide receiver touchdowns. So I'm liking Tyrrelle Williams

and this one um. Also like in Hunter Renfro, New York has conceded big games to wide receivers on the same team. Just ask the Patriots, Jaguards, Dolphins, and Giants. Renfro has at least four catches in four straight and has scored twice in that span. Safe c for Hunter, Darren Waller, Foster Moreau. Foster Moreau now has more touchdowns than Darren Waller. So wrong, so painful. But Waller Whiller is gonna find the end zone this week. Book it.

Even though the Jets have only allowed just two tight end touchdowns all season, the majority of the opposition has been garbage good to great tight ends. That faredwell against New York. Mike Kasecki had six catches for ninety five yards and Zach ERT's had five catches for fifty seven yards and a touchdown against New York. Those were like the only two tight ends they faced all years. So I'm gonna give Waller in a here and Derek Carr

and give him an a too. I'm still always a little nervous when the West Coast team goes east to play the early game, but the matchup is just two ripe. Over the last four games, Jets have allowed to combine twelve touchdown passes did Gardner, Minshew, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Daniel Jones, and Dwyane Haskins. And the Jets run defense is just so good. Like you said, charge Oakland probably gets funneled to the pass and throws more often than they have

all season. Over to the Jets. Levian Bell, be grudgingly going to give him a B, mentioned in take Coom that his Snapp percentage has plummeted from the nineties to the sixties um But after stuffing the run for most of the season, Oakland has allowed over five yards per carry over the last three games against battle Lines and leadbacks have scored in back to back weeks, so I'll give Levan bella be here. And before the Bengals game

last week, I mentioned this in takeom To. The Raiders had allowed at least one receiving touchdown to a running back in fourth straight games, So Balal Powell is might take a chance on me running back. He also looks like the best running back on the team right now. We'll see if he usurups Bell. He just might. Jameson Crowder can give him an a been red hot five catches, at least five catches for seventy plus yards and a touchdown in three straight games. He's only twenty six years old,

by the way, younger than Tyler lock It. Wow. Yeah yeah uh. Tyler Boyd inexplicably wet the bed against the Raiders last week. But outside of that, the Raiders have been a dream matchup for slot receivers. The Oakland's other nine games, slot receivers have targeted ten plus targets, seven plus catches and eighty eight yards, and they scored six

total touchdowns on those nine games slot receivers. That is so A for Jameson Crowder, a C for Robbie Anderson though one or two catches and five of his last seven games just been absolutely brutal. But this could be a spike week for Robbie. The Raiders are allowing more than a hundred and seventy five yards and a touchdown per game to opposing wide receivers. But I really like him more in daily uh as a daily play on Famble.

I wouldn't trust him in a seasonal line up. Um, and the Raiders have also been very generous to opposing tight ends. That's why Ryan Griffin was CPS take a chance on the receiver. And with all these starting grades of receivers, I'm gonna give Sam Donald an easy be here. Um. Nearly eight percent of the touchdowns surrendered by the Raiders have come through the air. And before the Bengals game

last week, I got mentioned again. Oak has conceded passing touchdown totals of two, three, three, five, two and three. That's a lot. What does that spell? What dirty words? That spell? That's not Let's go to our next match of Baltimore taking on the Los Angeles Rams. This it's Lamar Jackson. You have to start him. The Rams defense is really good, is shaping up into being really good, and they're giving up the fewest rushing yards two quarterbacks, just four and a half yards per game on the

ground to opposing quarterbacks. What do you think of all Lamar Jackson in this one? Well, they haven't played anybody like Lamar Jackson. There is nobody like Lamar Jackson. Yeah. I mean the first quarterback in history to run for sixty plus yards and seven straight games, also has five rushing scores in that same span. He's also thrown for at least three touchdowns four time. I mean, he's he's met. He's as matchup proof as they come. If you can stop him on the ground, he can probably do it

through the air. So you can interrupt a second first round you go next year, next August first round? Are we gonna have a quarterback taken Lamar Jackson in one quarterback leagues? You're talking about in one quarterback leagues and one quarterback leagues. Will Lamar Jackson be a first round pick next year? He? I think he very well could be. I don't have the stat in front of me, but

I saw somebody tweeted it out earlier today. The list of running backs that Lamar Jackson has more it's like every yeah, I mean it's again, it's the old thing where you're getting a running back in a quarterback all in one. And so you're going we're going to be talking next August mark my words in the twenty six year Fantasy Football Weekly about whether or not Lamar Jackson should be the first first taken, not first round first, there will be an argument, you're right, continue I will.

Let's continue with the wide receivers who are all on the bench. You know, Marquis Brown had a couple of great games early in the year, but only one Baltimore wide receiver has even topped sixty one yards since that big game in Week one. They just aren't throwing it very much to the wide receivers. And oh, by the way, Jalen Ramsey is on the other side of the ball, So the wide receiver's Marquise Brown, Willie sneed there on

the bench mark Andrews is in play here. He was targeted seven plus times in eight of ten games this year, three touchdowns in the last two games. The Rams have allowed at least seventy four yards to a touch to a tight end three times in their last six games. So I've got an a grade on Mark Andrews, who is clearly Jackson's favored receiver. Here, mark Ingram a little bit of a tougher story here, held the fifty two or fewer rushing yards five times in the last six games.

He's still scoring touchdowns. He has ten touchdowns in ten games, but it's turned into you need the touchdown for him to be relevant because he's not getting the yards. That's similar to the way the Rams defense plays. They're very tough against running backs, but they have allowed nine running back touchdowns in ten games. So yeah, it's and it's the same story here with Ingram. He's gonna get you fifty sixty yards and coin flips chance of a touchdown.

So that's a B level starting grade. Gus Edwards, he's just the closer at the end of at the end of blowouts. Yep, the ramside. Jared Goff is on the bench man, just drop this guy. Scoreless in the last two outings. Ravens past defense is elite. They've held all but one opposing pastor to one touchdown or fewer. Golf is an easy bench here Cooper Cup three catches for Cooper Cup just seven targets the last two games, three catches, he'll I mean, he plays in the slot, so at

least he'll avoid Marcus Peters, their shutdown corner, Peter Peters. Right, yeah, right, it's a revenge game for Marcus Peters. Yeah, there you go, a defensive revenge game. But I've got a C grade on Cup because he's really the only sort of reliable receiver that Goff has right now. Because Brandon Cooks and Robert Woods, their status is both a little bit in the air. It sounds like Cooks might is probably going

to return. Sweet they're both going to play was cleared on Friday, Cooks in and the personal and Woods was back at practice after missing last frustratingly missing last week's game with a personal issue. But Woods hadn't scored all year before he missed that game, this past year or this past week. Cooks in seven plus games before his concussion, he had only one touchdown and only one game of seventy five yards or more. And the matchup is really bad. So I've got both, I've got both of those guys

on the bench. I guess in desperation you can put him in, but no better than a see tight end Gerald Everett. Of course, Baltimore is a lead against opposing tight ends. None have topped four catches or twenty eight yards in the last six games. He is on the bench. That brings us to Todd Gurley touches last week, most of the year's previous high was nineteen. It appears maybe the Rams have kind of been saving him, preserving him for this stretch run. For you're a girly owner, that's

what you have to hope is happening here. The Ravens can be beat on the ground. Last week they gave up a hundred and five yards in a touchdown to the Carlos Hide and Duke Johnson combo. The week before that a hundred and fifty one combined rushing and receiving yards to Joe Mix. And so I've got to be level grade here on Girle. If he's getting plus touches, he's at least to be even in a tough matchup that that that works out, That works out well. Can

I get a personal you know, personal reasons? Can I miss the next segment with personal reasons to buy the reasons? I gotta work with you, two dorks. That's the reason our final topics are aad We provide you with three guys we believe will be hot waiver wire pickups next week that you will want to grab this week. Premature Speculation, Our final premature speculation of the year coming up next on Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly.

It's a segment we called Premature Speculation. We provide a player we think will be a hot waiver wire pick up next week that we urge you to pick up this week, so that you are a week out of the curve courtesy of our time machine right there, time Machine. What I really want to figure out is how can I emerge the time machine with them with the trump trombone solo from American Pie two? Is there a way to do both? I don't think there is, unfortunately, but

I do love that. I mean only if one of us was going to imply that you should take the sad trombone scheme, well there is that, if you wouldn't mind be very helpful. I don't think any's going to do that, though. I think it was Jackass where uh it was Stepho think you played a trumpet with a bee hole? Really that should really be the sad It's the saddest sadly, I've I feel like I've seen this God,

I don't um. All right, let's go to uh, let's go to our premature speculation, guys, beginning with Brian who you got. All Right, I don't know if it'll be a hot commodity, but he's gonna be a commodity at some point later in the season. And that's the Bengals running back trey Vin Williams, who was drafted that he

was drafted in the NFL Draft. Everybody is a commodity, right, but at some point, just they gotta put mixing on ice there, oh, inten since that it is, and just trey v Williams is gonna be this cheap DFS option kind of guy who's gonna start a game for the Bengals at some point. I can just feel it. Giovanni Bernard always gets banged up. He's on a true lead back. They're just gonna let this kid get some run at the end of the season as he continue to try

and go oh and sixteen. So trey ViOn Williams will be a warm bodied running back for you later in the season. Alright, Christian, Alright, I'm gonna go with Tim Patrick wide receiver for the Broncos. Here he was the only wide receiver other than Courtland Sutton to be targeted last week in his return from i R. He broke his hand in Week one and he's been on the shelf ever since. He returned. Last week turned eight targets

into four catches and seventy seven yards. You may remember Patrick from such seasons as last season, when during the final four games, he led the Broncos and targets, catches, and yards, all of which were better than Courtland's Sutton's numbers over the same span. Courtland Sutton, who was a top five Fantasy wide receiver, not even the best receiver on his own team. That's Tim Patrick, all right. Okay, so maybe that's going a little overboard, but Patrick is

an intriguing prospect. He's six four, he's two pounds, he's physical, he can run. He's shown that he can produce over his five last five games at the NFL level. The near term outlook is hindered a little bit by Brandon Allen at quarterback, of course, and a tough, tough couple of matchups in the next three weeks the Bills and Chargers, But after that a couple of cupcakes Texans in Week fourteen Lions Week sixteen, he might be thinking about a

sneaky guy. To Tim Patrick, I think there's a coin flip chance of Benny Snell becomes the workhorse back for the Steelers. Now, the Steelers traditionally have a workhorse back. Guests who can't a workhorse back jn Samuel's and you're correct, that is a correct answer. And James Conner because well him either because he's no good. They only have one guy on roster who I think can emerge as the workhorse back, and it's Benny Snell. It starts this week.

He's available in most leagues because he was out last week with injury. Benny Snell has a real chance of being the starting running back for the Steelers on a team that can't pass very well. He's got a run and it's got a good enough offensive line to make the running backs valuable. Not only that, but if you're in a dynasty league an empirely you're thinking about next year, who's your starting running back going into camp next year?

Could be Benny Snell. There's at least Benny Sells as good a chance as anybody else that's currently on roster to be the Steelers starting running back. Wouldn't be funny, by the way, Jets are Jets are gonna cut Levy on Bell right, terrible contract. They never should have signed him he could What if he found his way back Steelers? Would that be fun Let's go to our final two matchups, the Sunday Nighters, green Bay taking on San Francisco. Brian

for San Francisco's side. Four players come into this game as game time decisions. If you've got Emmanuel Sanders or George Kittle or Deebo Samuel or Matt Breda, we encourage you to put them in your flex spot. Now have another player that's a Sunday Night player or Monday Night player ready to go into the flex if it turns out that that guy is a last minute deactivation. So there's just some quick broad advice on that. But let's

start with the green Bay side. What do you think about the Packers and a very what feels like, at least on paper, is a very tough matchup with a good forty Niners defense. Yeah, we'll start with Aaron Jones. I can give him a B. It's really not that scary matchup for running backs anymore against the forty Niners. Over their last four games, the Niners are allowing more than five and a half yards per carry and have surrendered three rushing scores for running backs. So I gotta

be on Aaron Jones. And even though he hit thirteen carries which was the same amount as Jamal Williams against Caroline Week ten, but Jones had an extra thirty yards and he scored the hat trick three touchdowns. So always Jones over william still, but Williams will get to see I think we'll get enough work in this one, especially through the air, to warrant a flexor for most again because this matchup is suddenly good for running backs. Davante Adams not a great matchup for him at all. I'll

I'll give him a be here. Has seen double digit targets in every game since his return. I believe no touchdowns still on the season, though absolutely brutal odds Aret doesn't come here. San Francisco has allowed a wide receiver touchdown and only two of their last eight games, and

both of those games are against the Cardinals. I'm much of what to make of that, really, but whatever, Fluke Anyways, San fran also hasn't allowed a one one yard receiver since Week two, so a very soft be for Davante Adams. I'm benching all the other Adams no touchdowns this year? Zero, I think I just said that. Yeah, sorry, crazy, Uh yeah, he's been killing people. What by the way, no touchdowns?

You don't say tell me more. I'm betting all the other wide receivers for obvious reasons that I just engined in the Davante Adams right up. He hasn't scored any touchdowns by the way, Davanta Adams. But you can't bench Jimmy Graham on his birthday, right We need a birthday sound effects by the way, like like about happy Birthday. That's not a sound effects, Like what's the I suppose that multi candles, that's the streamer thing or whatever. It's not.

It's got the paper because it was. We would be playing that for Jimmy Graham. But it's only his birthday. It's not a good matchup. The Niners have only allowed two tight end touchdowns on the season, but the competition has been pretty atrocious. Uh. The comparable corpse of Tyler effort to Jimmy Graham caught a touchdown against Francisco, and Jacob Policer just had eight catches and a score against San France. I'll give Graham se As a birthday gift.

What I'll give Aaron Rodgers, though, is a seat on the bench. Has thrown just five touchdowns across four away games this season, and this isn't an optimal setting. San France has only allowed three passing touchdowns over their last four home games, and Football Outsiders has the the Niners are ranked second against the past this season. Rogers on

the bench. You mentioned all the injuries for the forty Niners chart starting with George Kittle practiced Thursday and Friday in limited fashion, non contact Jersey, but reports are optimistic that he's gonna play. So I'm just gonna go with Kittle's gonna play on Sunday night. Uh, and again hopefully he does. It's a great matchup. Green Bay has allowed seven and a half catches per game two tight ends

over the last four games. Darren Waller, Travis Kelsey and Dallas Goddard combined for four touchdown catches against the Packers so far this year. UH. Emmanuel Sanders another guy who's listed as question with a rib injury. I think there's a little more optimism around Sanders, and there is Kittle,

so we'll go with him playing as well. Green Bay has allowed their opponent's top wide receiver to clear the century mark in four of their last six games, and Emmanuel Sanders is the top wide receiver on San Francisco now if health so that puts Deebo Samuel on the bench for me and this one. Unless Sanders sits. I love Deebo Samuel, he should not be dropped. But there's uh the running backs before the point that I was

gonna get back to the run in this one. It's bottom half an opponent past attempts per game less than thirty five per game. I don't see the volume for Deebo. But if Kittle end or Sanders is out, Samuel should be in your starting lineup. But I'm benching him in this one. I still see a ton of targets for for Deebo here should be universally owned, like I said, and Jimmy Jimmy G Jimmy Garoppolo, I'll give him a see.

If Kittle plays, I really want to see Kid on this one to start Jimmy G. But again, green Bay bottom half an opponent pass attempts per game. I think it's all about the run game here for San Francis, I'm gonna put Jimmy g on the bench here, even though we're throwing the ball ninety one times across the last two games. There was some overtime there though, And speaking of the running backs, Tevin Coleman can give him a see. He's been a roller coaster ride since returning

from injury. But according to Football Outside Its, green Bay's ranks against the run and they have yielded the third most red zone touches to running backs and gold to go scenarios and don't underestimate this. If Kittle comes back, that would be huge for Tevin Coleman in the running game because he's a beastly blocker. He's like and uh so you gotta contemplate a backup running back for the

forty Niners. Matt Breed has actually been downgraded to doubtful as of Friday, so it looks like Rhee most would be the guy again, even though Jeff Wilson is also in the mix. But again green Bay conceding nearly thirty touches per game to running backs. They've just been awful against the run, so I'll give most to see. By the way, they're called party blowers. Blowers, party blowers. It is a boring name, although you know how many times how many times you got a party blower in your mouth.

Atlanta takes on time Bay and Matt Ryan gets an absolute obvious a start here. The Bucks rejiggered their secondary before last week's game and ended up with a familiar result, allowing three touchdown passes, extending their laughably dubious streak to three or more touchdowns in four straight games allowed through the air for Morgados. Here, Matt and Matt Ryan absolutely hammered Tampa last year in two games. Seven hundred thirty four passing yards in two games for Matt Ryan against

Tampa last year A grade. Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley. I never do this. They're my number one and number two ranked wide receivers overall. They're probably both not gonna live up to that billing, but either one of them could be the number one that could be the highest scoring guy. So I've got them both as as one and two. And over the last three games, Tampas allowed two hundred forty six yards per game to receivers. Four

receivers have topped one hundred yards. Eight receivers have scored in three games against Tampa A great opportunity for them. Russell Gage was na take a chance. I mean wide receiver there, slot receiver he's got gets a C grade in this game, and they're running back Brian Everybody started him last week, had it and things did not go well. Right. He saw the lions here of carries and snaps, but he did nothing with them. He lost a touchdown on a penalty and got yanked at the goal line for

something called Cadrey Allison. For two months, Tampa Bay's run defense was red hot, but lately they're receding. They've allowed at least four point eight yards per carried it backs in three of their last four games. It'll be just like fantasy football for everybody to have gotten on Brian Hill in an easy matchup last week. Everybody gets off him now in a seemingly tough matchup that secretly isn't as tough and watched. This is gonna be the Brian

Hill game. C C grade, starting grade. Brian Hill. Let's go to the Tampa Bay side. First, you're gonna have to decide if the Falcon suddenly elite defense is legit or not. I don't know for sure, but there is one data point for you. Their coach where he Mostard got switched to secondary coach two games ago and in two games no touchdowns allowed. So there is a reason to think that that's a legitimate switch and this defense can be better. And I've downgraded my my my expectations

to just a B grade for Jamis Winston. Over the past two weeks, I mentioned the Falcons of Blank, Drew Brees, and Kyle Allen uh a stunning reversal for them. Jamis Winston comes into this game having thrown for three or more yards and five straight games, and he demolished the Falcons and their two meetings last year, so he still gets a B grade here. Mike Evans is obviously Mike Evans. You're gonna start him every week, including this week. He gets a B grade as well for the reasons that

I just mentioned. Evans averaging five catches for seventy eight yards against the Falcons in his last three games. Chris Godwin also gets a B. He'll be tested in the slot by rookie cornerback Kendall Sheffield. This was one of the changes where he mostred made. He's been excellent in these last two weeks out of the slot Godwin though in his two games against the Falcons, averaging eighty five yards, and he has found the end zone three times in

his two games against the Falcons. Ronald Jones gets a B grade in US one. Peyton Barber had zero rushes last week. Although Ronald Jones didn't do much with the opportunity UH last week, he gave us a grand total of two catches for one yard. That's all we got through the air. After it looked like he was gonna be a pass catcher there. Falcons had given up five yards per carry to running backs over their last four games.

Ronald Jones gets a B grade under the assumption he's kind of continue to get the vast majority of the work and that is all you need to know from that matchup. I think Peyton Barber is dead to us. If Jones doesn't produce, just shoot all the Tampa Bay backs into the sun. If he doesn't come through in this game, it seems like a very good opportunity for him.
