Our premier fantasy preview show! John Hansen hosts as NFL Insider Adam Caplan and Fantasy Points Data lead Brett Whitefield break down each NFL game for the week from a news and film perspective, highlighting key matchups.
What is up welcome to the week 16 matchup points live stream here at Fantasy points.com I’m John Hansen that is Brett Whitefield that is Mr Adam Kaplan we are ready to go we are going to kick off uh the week uh tonight here uh Adam will start with you with
Injuries tonight for the saints and rams Chris alive like we’re we’re pretty good here injury-wise here I guess NOP Boom for La yeah who’s been playing right tackle but yeah overall they’re good and yeah the injuries should not be factor in this game with alive being clear to
Play so uh that is a good thing um from coming back from his ankle he took all his reps in their in their final walk through the the the you know it’s interesting the Saints you would think would have a good run defense but I forgot that they’re starting two guys
Who shouldn’t be starting Saunders who came up from the Chiefs who was a backup and Nathan Shepard who was a CFL player who was a backup a nice find for the Jets so if you want to know why Kiren Williams is looking better than usual tonight that is why this is a
Pretty good matchup they’re bad run defense anyway they’re given like 130 game Brett uh matchup tonight that or or two that kind of stands out to you uh what are your thoughts here on pukan AA versus Cooper cup it looks like the data points to it being a cup game data
Actually likes Tyler higgy I don’t know if we trust him but anything jump out of you for the ram offense here yeah I I actually like both these guys I mean the you know the Saints are going to kind of play a little bit more dropback Zone if
It really depends who gets more slot reps right right so they’ve kind of been teetering back and forth between cup and DEA whoever gets that elante Taylor match up in coverage that’s going to have who has the better game I think it looks like we’re projecting cup to be
That guy this week so I guess by default I’ll have to go cup here but I think both guys could be in for a big game to add to Adam’s Point too about Kiren John the the New Orleans Saints the first 10 weeks of the Season gave up just
1.09 yard adjusted yards before contact per car the last five weeks that numbers up to almost 1.8 so they are I mean they’ve almost got doubly worse than they started so yeah um now on the other side I I personally like a in the matchup I know he’s got the ankle uh
They do play a little bit of man uh the cover three data points are good uh also like Shahed so I guess by association I kind of like Derek Carr uh anything Stand Out matchup wise you know they do play a lot of Zone the Rams they did get
Beat up by like Tera McClaren last week week uh but they do play a lot of Zone um so you know I think we I I think we’re looking pretty good here with the Zone beaters basically Shahed and and alve yeah for sure and and the type of
Zone the Rams play too is really favorable to both those guys especially olve who’s going to be lined up mostly in the slot um that Rams covered or Zone coverage just really soft they give a lot of cushion a lot of free access into into routes furthermore lately they just
Can’t get home either their fourman Rush is like under a 30% pressure rate right now which is which is bodess really well for Carr because that’s T tends to be when car struggles is when that pressure is on he kind of turns into a pumpkin he’s of the golf cousins variety of
Quarterbacks yeah well Adam neither team really has a great pass rush so we could see some pocket quarterbacks in the in the pocket this evening nice and nice and comfortable couple things here two two outwell not that you’d be using them but it helps for Stafford he’s cleared
Out of concussion protocol so he’ll play he didn’t play last week and Demarcus Robinson has come out of nowhere these last three weeks well he he’s done so well they took him off special teams so that’s significant he wasn’t signed to really be anything more than a
Fourth receiver so that tells you kind of how much they feel that he’s pretty locked in as their third receiver in fact when outwell started he’s actually played more reps when they in the last couple games they played together yeah it’s interesting he’s got value for Fantasy it’s it’s really remarkable but
This is what it’s about week 16 if you’re dying to use one of your terms Johnny it’s not the worst start yeah then Alvin camra will get the checkdowns tonight I know our guy Tom broy is on that one there I kind of like Jawan
Johnson if you’re I like the prop uh I laid the prop out um yeah it’s much like Michael Mayer last week I I I put it out there it one I wasn’t like amazingly confident I kind of liked it though so there you go that I would be I guess
More of a lean um yeah that’s it any thoughts on Tamm Hill out him uh would you start it or you bail it I I I I would have bailed weeks ago it he had had is he was more than a flash for a while he had like four good weeks in a
Row but then he had the two injuries but even before the injuries he started to fade I I it’s about trust obviously I’m in uh two semi-final games this week I would have like it would have to be a situation where I don’t have anyone
Better and I’m like all right I need I need some luck here some upside we know what the the downsides three or four points that’s kind of that’s kind of what could happen here so I I wouldn’t do it but hey if you have to you have to Cincinnati
Bengals at the Pittsburgh Steelers looks like we’re looking at Mason Rudolph tonight for sure or this week Adam uh what is up with Naji Harris he’s fine it’s the same injury he’s cleared pickets out he won’t dress for the game it’s Rudolph uh the you should know this
This is good for for the people were looking for if you’re starring Jake Browning or that or that that tight end who came out of nowhere um yep well the Steelers are down three safeties so that’s not good that you it’s hard to operate without it’s it’s just gonna be hard
They’re I don’t know how they’re going to do it in fact they had a kid they really like this Trent Thompson he’s out with a neck injury he’s their third stfy so they’re in trouble I mean this is not good it’s it’s packing up City here packing yeah oh yeah yeah they’re
They’re in trouble here so uh Bengals offense I look with Jamar chasea with the AC joint sprain it should be Tren Irwin who takes a lot of those reps yeah but if you are out there on the fence about starting a dude and like it’s too
Close to call well if one of them is facing the Steelers I’m going that way because they’re I mean we got three games it’s going to be interesting I’ve never seen the Steelers like kind of pack it in but maybe once in 40 years uh
It kind of feels that way but we’ll say uh make a kind of like their leader too and he’s out so uh you know and then uh Brett matchup wise here you know I mean schematically a pretty good matchup here for Browning perhaps because they play
Man I don’t think you could I think you could do worse and Tyler Boyd uh Pittsburgh’s been rough inside Higgins do you think we’re gonna get Shadow treatment with Joey Porter yeah it seems that way for sure um furthermore like to your point about Browning John Pittsburgh’s pressure rate is bottom of
The league the last five weeks yes it is wow really 6.8% which is crazy when you have TJ Watt and alith and it’s like their four of their five worst games for pressure have come in the last like five weeks it’s yeah it’s insane so they’re they’re not getting home they’re soft in
The middle of that defense I I know Adam mentioned Tanner Hudson absolutely love Tanner Hudson this week um Pittsburgh struggled with athletic tight ends or tight ends that move around the formation a lot and Tanner Hudson plays in the slot a little bit they’ll put him
Out wide here and there so I I think he could really take advantage of some good match ups there yeah um moving on uh bro Mixon you know along for the ride uh we don’t know about Chase Brown he is a little bit banged up so he’s playing
He’s cleared he’s cleared okay it might be a risky play though I mean look it’s uh week 16 I don’t think we need to yeah start a guy that was dead like three weeks ago like no one cared um all right well um for those Steelers otherwise uh you know any thoughts on
Mason Rudolph you know I guess if you can protect Mason Rudolph he’s he’s better than than trabis in the pocket I mean that’s as a pocket passer you know no Mobility whatsoever but any thoughts at all Brett on Mason Rudolph yeah it’s really hard for me to trust
Especially with the just the play calling the way it is I don’t know I I gotta feel like Pittsburgh’s coming into this game with the mindset of running the football oh sure na Harris I mean Cincinnati’s terrible against the run I just you know that combined with the
Back you know I guess the third string quarterback now it just seems like that would be the the obvious plays just to try to run the ball get the ball quickly screens um Cincinnati’s been okay rushing the past year this year although since Hendrickson got hurt what six
Weeks ago now that’s their their pressure rate’s kind of falling off a cliff so you know if you’re desperate Pat Fri Muth has got a pristine matchup here but yeah Bengals we saw what Todd Chandler did last week I mean a guy like Jaylen Warren could do very well in this game
Um anything else here Adam do you have anything on on on uh Mason Rudolph no I guess not yeah no he’s a he’s a he’s a touch passer he doesn’t drive the football but he’s a he he doesn’t have tris’s Mobility yeah but the word in the
Word from coaches is he he processes better yep so so that will give at least the pass targets a chance which is all you’re looking for now now we do need it pick and John I I don’t think they’ll bench him but it’s turned into be a
Train wreck this is the one this is the issue believe it or not the ACL reconstruction had nothing to do with him not going the first round was all about maturity and you’re really seeing it he’s he’s he’s not at he’s not at at he’s not at the level of um Chase
Claypool we’re not there yet but we’re getting close he’s one of those guys I think that what makes him great can hurt him at times like he just gets so bombastic and like you know energetic I guess and you know but he’s John he’s not being a good teammate right now he
Needs to do a better job selfish I’m sure yeah you know pouting you know un the problem is it’s not it it takes away from yeah oh yeah your success it’s it’s he had that walk-off touchdown it actually beat me in our league by the
Way it was like a 70 yard remember that game on Monday Night Football like week five okay I I I saw the writing on the wall and I was like sell goodbye sell yeah because I there were Rumblings of it before four because you know they
They got off to such a nasty start um let’s move on uh here on the week 16 matchup points live stream at Fantasy points.com bills at the Chargers um bunch of dudes for the Chargers I guess like Bosa is not playing is he no he he’s on he he’s on
IR he just started practicing all rolled out he’s out with a heel injury it’s a shame out who’s that Michael Hyde yeah Hyde’s out with a neck Stinger it’s a shame he’s had this problem um I would say for this game uh couple things Josh Palmer came through
Last week’s game well he played 72% of snap so he should play a ton look good I know I know it’s not a great match up but if you’re if you’re having to use him you have to think there’s hope here yeah he’s he’s the one as far as I’m
Concerned pretty much Quin Johnson John is not look good no no I wasn’t in quitting Johnston definitely for this year that’s for sure um gave him a chance I mean I’m certainly giving him a chance he’s got a lot of tools to work with there but yeah
I did not get a good feeling there uh question though is like I don’t know how much Josh Allen is going to have to do as they transition you know into a running team Brett is that fair to say the identity of the bills right now is James
Cook yeah I don’t know that I’ll go that far John but I will say that cook is playing at a level now where if they need if they need to do that in a game they can do that they can just sit back and punch you in the mouth over and over
And over again um but it it you know even in the past game cook has been a really nice alternative option for them that they haven’t really alen’s never really been a checkdown quarterback so it’s nice to have can trust there and um but yeah I with with the Chargers the
Way they’re their pressure has been um with both Bosa going on IR I I think it could be a fine mix of of run pass for for the bills yeah I mean I could see Gabe Davis doing well it’s a good schematic matchup but he’s Gus Gabe now
As I nicknamed him um but you know as bad as it’s been for Gabe the production has dropped off just as much for Diggs you know like Diggs was getting you 19 a game and now he’s getting you six yeah Gabe was getting you 11 a game now he’s goose in egging
Your ass so it’s it’s it’s pretty close you know it’s all relative you know Gabe was getting two three grabs a game now he gets zero di was getting 8 n now he gets five to six uh maybe it is just week to week but again
I don’t think they’re gonna have to do all that much here against the Chargers uh not the greatest schematic M matchup uh no Keenan Allen are either of you inclined at all to cons even consider Austin Eckler or are we just turning the page Adam are you just
Turning a page right well if I have him using him I mean he was my first round pick so I I don’t know about that well let me ask you this who you who you GNA have is better that’s that that’s the next level number one you could have had
You could have picked up Kiren Williams and Jaylen Warren no no I’m talking about now no I’m talking about now you mean in a in a in a redraft if you’re in the semi-finals who do you have is gonna be better Eckler that’s my point Kyon Williams oh absolutely yes okay to
Answer your question if it came down to who would I start absolutely K William first the match up is Beautiful by the numbers this we Zeke Elliot I that that’s that H that’s another story for another time I I I would not use Zeke but that’s yeah
But I mean BR what do you think I mean eckar looks it’s this is really bad yeah I disagree I don’t think I think it’s being overblown a little bit because of the one run he had where he looked like he was a corpse um I also don’t think
Buffalo’s uh the run defense hasn’t actually been that good um Denver’s has been terrible that’s why I mentioned zek but yeah yeah yeah now here I’ll throw this out so I saw a clip today of uh ecka Adam I’ll ask you okay there’s um Matt Harmon from Yahoo does a podcast with him
Right yeah and he asked him about playing football next year and and ecka actually said you know basically as as long as I’m not treated like uh an undrafted Bargain Basement free agent you know like it’s almost like his expectations for himself next year going forward are really
Minimize but is that does that do anything for you like he’s he’s talking next year bottom level free agent I mean he look he he he’s a specialist that that’s what he’s at this point of his career 29 he turns 29 I think 28 29 he’s now special he’s a
Third down specialist so you’re starting at Old washed up specialist this week well look it again he’s he’s always capable but the it it it just has not worked out they are look they’re a nightmare the Chargers are just absolutely brutal I mean I’ve got we’ve
Got him at 31 this week I I actually think that’s somewhat charitable um all right uh wasted some time there um not the best matchup for uh palmer but you know use him if you need him ever same deal though not not the best match up
Forever and then bad match up for those bills tight ends too and they’re kind of canceling each other out uh Colts at Falcons Adam I I I assume it’s a little bit of a formality at this point with Jonathan Taylor yeah he he he he’ll get cleared Zach Moss second forearm injury
He may not get cleared Surman will back up JT if Moss is not cleared Michael Pitman this is now a couple things with Pitman in addition to the concussion they added the shoulder to the injury report but he took all his reps today he’s on his way to getting cleared he
Should get cleared tomorrow after practice so uh pretty good it’s pretty good okay matchup wise it is a plus matchup here for mchu don’t think we’re trusting the other receivers of course um Pitman if he goes for sure we don’t like Drake London um opportunity-wise and schematically Adam back to you real
Quick people are wondering do they just bail on beon any thoughts here I’m I’m kind of I can’t I can’t do that that I just I just I could go with them yeah it’s always I ask this question to you who who who better do you have at this point to to
Not start him well bejon or Bree Hall I think didn’t we get that on the radio well the Bree Hall matchup I mean it’s it’s it’s phenomenal this the safest one like okay if I’m looking for 12 to 14 points without a doubt it’s it’s Bree Hall if I
Need the upside like for in I have won of my two semi-final games I might start Jameson Williams over whoever my Flex is going to be because I know that I need upside or I need upside I’m probably going to do it yeah well I will say um
As we noted in our Game Hub here ban did get 15 plus touches and 80 yards and four straight before last week so I I do think we’ll get a little bit of a uh some sort of a correction here and you know maybe the weather will be better
Well it definitely will be because it’s in Atlant anything stand out to you Brett about this matchup I will say I think for me other than Jonathan Taylor the most intriguing thing is maybe a Kyle Pitts game yeah I like Pitts I really like I actually do like bejon in this matchup I
Wanted to let you guys finish your your good discussion um the Colts they’re they have not fit runs well at all the last two months of the season it’s been really bad the last five week they’re giv up one 192 adjusted yards before contact I mean they but when you put on
The tape like there there’s a lot of Mas I’m not really sure what’s going on because they started the season very good against the run it’s kind of slowly tapered off we’ve talked about before it’s like them in Tennessee swaps places or something um really really strange
But um the tape is not is really not good they’re get they’re getting gashed they’re giving up a lot of 10 15 yard run type stuff better last week though better last week a little better last week but bejon can take those 10 yard you know runs and turn 50 yard runs and
I think that gives him like Adam said a good amount of upside in this game no I’m with you guys I mean you know we’ve got got him at 13 you know it is a tough guy he’s a tough guy to rank but most people are starting uh the 13th rank
Running back as their rb2 let’s just you drafted him as a one you move his ass down your depth now he’s your two maybe he’s your three that would be one HTH a three um for for Indie you know not the best matchup for Taylor though chuba hubard
Did did get it done last week in this matchup uh as we mentioned uh moving on to Green Bay Carolina you know injury-wise here Adam uh looks like AJ Dylan is back he’s not back yet he ain’t been cleared yet no he’s he’s he’s started work but he’s not cleared
Yet we’ll know tomorrow um Jaden Reed’s got two injuries he’s nursing he’s definitely a true questionable Watson forget about it oh this is big Luke Musgrave he might get cleared tomorrow didn’t Watson do something today or no not practice he might have done something on the side Musgrave might get
Cleared he’s got a k he so we found out what it was it was the kidney they said abdomen it’s actually his kidney he started working today Luke Musgrave so he Luke Musgrave could be activated we we’ll learn more tomorrow and that would be a problem because I really like
Tucker craft as a as a sleeper ah okay all right um good schematic matchup for Tucker craft who’s doing pretty darn well yeah um yeah so you don’t you would lean right now toward no Watson and probably no Reed or I mean Watson hasn’t practiced in nearly three weeks so I’d
Be shocked if Watson played Reed I don’t know yet don’t know we’ll find out more tomorrow well we can use Davian Wicks um yeah yeah man he’s good uh anything jump out to you on this match up I know you do like Adam thielen this week I do I I
Love Adam thielen this week if you guys watched the the Tampa Bay Green Bay game last week you saw what’s been happening to Green Bay over and over this year which is they cannot cover the middle of the field whether that’s tight ends or Shifty slot receivers that can run
Routes Chris Godwin abs Ely annihilated them all game long and pretty much allowed Baker Mayfield to probably have his best game as a pro quarterback which you know is pretty crazy he’s in what year five or six so um Baker looked awesome but it was mostly that soft soft
Green Bay middle you know Quay Walker Deandra Campbell these guys are being asked to do a lot in coverage oh Campbell real quick Campbell probably won’t play okay probably won’t play the neck injur yeah so I I love uh I really do love Adam theel in this
Matchup uh I I just don’t know like how much Jordan love let me change I had my back is killing me uh I didn’t know how much I don’t know how much Jordan love is gonna have to throw here obviously you know but that’s probably some over analysis but you know the panther
D is pretty good right right I mean what what about this matchup for the amount of snaps they have to play they’re very good you know it’s it’s actually kind of crazy if that offense could be just a little bit better I think that defense would even get better so um yeah matchup
Wise you know I don’t know I thought Aaron Jones looked really good last week actually yeah um you saw some explosiveness some wiggle ability to make guys miss he was winning the The Edge pretty consistently though in that you know outside Zone power scheme they
Use with him so um I I really liked what I saw from Aaron Jones from a wide receiver cornerback standpoint I mean I I like dubs’s matchup against Dante Jackson I like Davian Wicks horn is you know they number one but he has not been good since he’s been back or when he
Played so your boy Dante Jackson I believe has been pretty good this year though he he’s been a yeah he’s been a little stingy but I like he is an undersized he’s like 180 PB corner and dubs is just a physical nightmare so I think it’s a like sure a skill set wise
I think it’s a really good matchup for dubs I mean he’s probably a free agent Dante Jackson Adam is he a free agent no he’s signed for next year oh okay I was gonna say like yeah he’s balling this year he’s probably a free agent okay uh
But he’s not uh Bryce young is not balling so we’re going to move on we can use Adam theland though uh Cleveland Browns at the Houston Texans Adam and once again not looking good for CJ stoud yeah not looking great for Nico Collins as well what else uh Collins
With the calf I mean it’s he she’s just had to get through practice um Will Anderson uh likely won’t get cleared so this will be the second straight game but now for Cleveland down three safeties and bonio now has got a bad back he might not play so they’re
They’re lying I I got got to give the and obviously flacko deserves a lot of credit for this they their line’s all sorts of banged up they’re playing guys who they’d rather not play but they’re finding a way to win uh you here’s a cool thing though if you’ve got Amari
Cooper or their pass targets you don’t have to worry about weather for the first time in a while so that is important because man they’ve they’ve had crappy weather they’ve played in for several weeks and this one’s in Houston you think Nico will go though I guess he he’s trending
That way I guess yeah yeah yeah he’s doing okay yeah okay all well does that change anything um you know for Noah Brown uh Brett I mean Noah Brown is not really the ex- receiver anyway I bet you he can play everything um any thoughts on what you saw to Case
Keenum this week and you know their prospects not the best matchup you know uh Cleveland uh or Houston has been you know stingier against the run but I guess they’re weaker nowadays against the past but I still have good some good Personnel back there yeah this game in
General is making me a little nauseous I think it could be a a really low point total here Houston’s run defense is excellent that’s where Cleveland wants to start their offense Cleveland’s defense is obviously phenomenal I backup quarterbacks playing it’s just kind of gross all the way
Around I I will say the Noah Brown Nik Collins thing I I think it helps Nico actually that Noah’s playing well yeah you know Noah’s been really good downfield for them too like surprisingly good as a downfield threat that that helps Nico because he dominates the
Intermediate of the field so he wants to be in control over the middle of the field 10 to 20 yards those are his windows he lives in so if he’s got a good downfield threat next to him that’s just gonna make him a little bit and
John if if Nico doesn’t play they’ll you know it’s a calf injury but this is the most he’s done in practice since he got hurt if he doesn’t play I agree with Brett it it is this this has got like 16 13 written all over it something like
That yeah I will say the Browns have been hit by tight ends lately so if you are desperate uh Dalton Schultz I mean Cole KT and Evan Ingram have gotten him pretty good Brett I know you have some things to say about Devin single ter but my man is
Rolling with like a 75% snapshare these days so he’s the guy right yeah he’s the guy this was the first week I think uh in week 15 where him and Pierce were both healthy and single ter dominated the snaps which is good because when when Pierce came back the last time they
Tried to give him another opportunity to win that job we know he’s not a schematic fit but I think they were you know hoping he would he would maybe break out a little bit and it just didn’t work so single T’s back in the fold and he looks darn good doing it so
Really he’s been efficient he’s been good at breaking tackles yards after contact um you know he looks a lot better than he did when he was in Buffalo I’ll say that so Detroit at Minnesota moving along here the week 16 docket semis in the fantasy playoffs um
Still a little bit of an early look here at the week but we kind of do this obviously for the viewers and subscribers but um honestly it’s still all information gathering for for me and uh as we do the projections the Detroit Lions at the Minnesota
Vikings injury wise here uh what do we have here Jacob’s at corner for the line yeah he he’s very questionable that’s big because they’re they’re not deep at corner at all uh Brian Branch would would probably start on the outside I would think if if he can’t go Byron
Murphy for the Vikings he’s a yep yep that’s big yeah he uh Madison probably won’t play again with the ankle he’s in practice since he got hurt Byron Murphy’s got this knee injury that’s big man if he can’t play yeah right tackle the starting right tackle um that’s
Where Aiden Hutchinson off in lines oh Neil yeah he’s got yeah he’s he didn’t play last week either Oh I thought you said yeah I don’t know why I heard brron Byron or Bron Byron Murphy no that would be huge right right right well Brett um what are your thoughts here Minnesota
Not going to be easy to run on they’re gonna get some pressure on golf seem to be covering well but then again you know I think they can be exploited by the right you know Personnel like a like a Jameson Williams or what do you think
Yeah so I like J and I like Aman RA in this game Aman so Minnesota almost all of the fantasy points they give up is through the slot um that is their weak point um that’s typically true of most Blitz heavy teams and it’s no no different for Minnesota so they’re going
To give up points am on ra is going to get a lot of one-on-one looks over the middle of the field that’s where GF absolutely thrives as long as they can keep G relatively clean and have the right pass protection plans in place I think amanra should just have a typical
Amanra day J on the other hand I really like him he’s getting more involved in the offense he’s kind of won that coaching staff over he’s finally playing starter level snaps and you know we saw the seven targets last week plus plus his deep his deep ability and ability to
To break plays wide open like that bodess really well against a team who blitzes the crap out of you so you know just think like a a third and five where they’re sending the house at at Goff like Jameson catches a shallow and takes it takes it you know 60 yards or catches
A deep ball I just I think there’s a lot of opportunity for a guy of his his style to beat the Minnesota defense so yeah I can see it they have been pretty good against tight ends too for what it’s worth um what about the Lions slowing down Ty
Chandler not that Tai Chandler is all that but he certainly looked great last week you know he’s got some pop here he got some some juice uh yeah you know maybe maybe a guy off the edges kind of a guy like is that a problem for a
Detroit’s run D no one no one’s run on Detroit this year other than fields and that was scrambles so they have no weakness even on the perimeter not really yeah very match yeah yeah um your thoughts on the line running game here against Minnesota yeah Minnesota’s they’ve definitely been stingier um you know
They they their D tackles have played really really well um I don’t think it’s a bad matchup for Detroit I think if if they have their starting five of lineman which it looks like they will I know Frank didn’t do anything practice today but that’s pretty typical for a Thursday
For him so um I I think Detroit should be able to run the ball um I think they’re going to want to run the ball because that super Blitz heavy scheme for Minnesota they’re GNA want to keep golf clean and and not give him any weird situations to to throw from so um
I I think not a great matchup not a bad matchup should be uh I would say just an average game for Detroit how do you think they handle the Viking passing game it’s it’s Nick Mullins but you know Detroit they don’t get a ton of pressure uh and they might be down starting
Corner and Jacobs Jacobs didn’t play last week either he was actually benched is what it sounds like oh wow they moved him to special teams um they’ve got a kind of a a committee that are replacing him right now and I think they played relatively well um to your point though
Uh oh dorsy yeah yeah KH dorsy and uh the kid from Chicago Kindle vindor VOR yeah vilder is a slot corner I I can’t that’s insane that they’re doing that this late in the season John that yeah well see they love Jacobs I they they love Branch as as nickel boy that’s
That’s I forgot about that yeah CLE Dury is number 30 he he’s a he’s a street free agent geez that’s that’s good though that’s good for um that’s good for Nick Mullins yeah I mean job just getting destroyed all year so they needed to make a move yeah I got you what happened
Good point good point DC commanders at the Jets if we uh we done here move on yeah we’re Adam uh do you worry now about Howell oh yeah oh no doubt no doubt getting pulled again um I no I’m just worried about the matchup I’m not pulled
No it have to be really bad again but they don’t want to get in that business it was embarrassing enough for them to have to do it well the game was out of hand and they just needed to get him out he struggled oh the big one is Brian
Robinson John is not practiced in over three weeks obviously he’s not going to play Simeon will start for the Jets that’s where that’s at so yeah I mean again it’s the same kind of thing uh yeah yeah um well what else here um I’m starting Garrett Wilson and I don’t care what
Happens I’m sleeping like a baby um I don’t know I don’t feel quite as strongly about Bree Hall I can you Adam can you talk me off the ledge with Bree Hall do you have any words of wisdom I love it I no I love what what look we
Know they have trouble mov theb three points last week no but but here’s the thing yeah but they got look look at the but look at the matchup John I don’t care I mean can you catch some balls well that okay again it’s Trevor Simeon but they’re going to they’re going to
Grind it out with them Washington the their front’s terrible they don’t squeeze the Run well this is if he’s got to get a minimum of 90 yards here minimum he’s had double digit catches in like one two three four five six seven eight n like 10 straight games
Okay before last week so yeah I mean that he’s gonna have a big he’s gonna have a good game Bree Hall like this is the week for him has to be all right okay I agree there you go thank you you did exactly what I needed you to do
Where go jeez shut upy you talked me off the ledge I was on the ledge now I’m off the ledge okay uh for the DC Commandos uh your boy Terry McClaren is gonna see a lot of Garder yeah it’s gonna be hard I know it’s GNA be hard
I’m I’m expecting bad results and what could I tell you did L Logan Thomas test positive for jaral oh yeah what is yeah boy he boys he just completely disappeared I was going to say that about Johan doson is he even on the roster still yeah exactly I think he’s
Number one if I’m not mistaken yeah Johan doson is the football version of Benjamin Button he’s now top 15 pick and they don’t even throw him the football like it’s just it’s such a a dis it’s a discombobulated offense to be honest with you I mean
There must be some sort of scheme or personality conflict or both with the bemy uh no one knows what it it does seem like Curtis Samuel is a thing though pretty much every week yeah he’s gonna get his I mean he’s getting stuff scheme to him too like it’s a lot of f
Stuff I mean it’s so he’s gonna get his it’s just baked into the cake for him yeah and that’s um you know for what it’s worth the best matchup there inside and then another Gibson Rodriguez day I guess Adam so y Gibson get and I know
They got smoked so it’s it’s it’s a little hard to judge but I didn’t think Gibson looked all that great great no he didn’t and and this is an opportunity them to give Rodriguez a little bit of a look here yeah yeah there’s no real reason to use Gibson that’s
Compelling well look they again the game was a what the game was really a blowout it was 28 to7 and Rodriguez piled up some carries yeah well I lost a prop with Gibson it’s like dude 24 yards you catch five balls you can’t get 25 freaking yards um
Yeah let’s move on that g that’s frustrating uh jets are frustrating I don’t know if this is a Tyler Concklin game for for once I I’ve I’ve won a over two and a half catch prop on Concklin like six weeks in a row uh I don’t know
If I’m going there this week Seattle at Tennessee Adam it looks like uh Ryan Tan’s in the mix yeah he should he should get the look and then Gino is going to be back uh and if you’re if you’re in a 16 Team league or more and you’re looking for trayon Burks well
Nick Westbrook at ke was put on IR so he’s done for the season oh Burks is now a full-time starter now he he’s he’s out well he he’s got an illness so hopefully he’ll he you would think he’d get cleared man look at all these guys
Though dmps yeah their Alli is banged up their secondary is an absolute total mess oh I I mean I know last week I know it was case keen and you no tank Dell and and no no Nico cins so that’s that’s why wasn’t tested Gino will drive the
Football downfield I I actually like gin a little bit in this game yeah I know absolutely uh Brett I it’s um it is a positive schematic matchup I think it’ll be a DK game maybe not a jsn game here what what what are your thoughts on uh
On Gino yeah I I like I love Gino in this game Tennessee can’t get after the quarterback their secondaries banged up DK should have you know plenty of opportunity to get loose downfield um Tennessee also they they play a lot of cushion on the outside um especially to
The the field side so I know I know that’s getting into the weeds a little bit with the Nerds but what that mean DK is gonna have a lot of built-in yards there right so they’re you know when when he sees that cushion they almost automatically audible to like a curl or
An out route and and they just take what they give him so I think that should be a huge win for DK all day D like a you know like an in breaker against that zone yep um and I kind of like de hop as well in
This game they play a lot of Zone yeah let’s see it is a positive schematic matchup I already have it down here in my notes Seattle secondary is puzzling because sometimes they look amazing and I’m and I’m really really impressed with them so I don’t I don’t know it is a
Positive schematic matchup just not sure what the quarterback shuffling and what that’s going to look like for for Hopkins but I mean I feel like tanah Hill Adam could be an upgrade over Levis H in terms Le is driving the ball making some great throws well he that’s
My point he he’s got accuracy issues but he’s he’s definitely willing to take chances and Burks they really want to unleash Burks this has been a nightmare coming off of a u of couple injuries but this is kind of what they’ve been waiting for for Burks I I
Hope he can get himself together here yeah yeah yeah uh another good schematic matchup for chiggy and look they may be playing from behind too you know if we like Seattle so much I mean I’ll take my chances with dehop with h either tanah Hill or Levis
Throwing on every down in the fourth quarter ra rack up you know six seven grabs uh Derk Henry Mr C I take it there’s no word out of Tennessee or no Rumblings even about you know pulling back from him no no nobody know nobody knows that that is going to
That’s not that’s just that’s just not they’re not they they they’re married still married to him now obviously if he struggles again right they could feature Spears I mean look they already eliminated from the playoffs and this could be I mean it it was it was it was interesting situation
Because the game was very tight and they they tried get they tried to get Henry gong it was an absolute disaster you average point6 yards per carry but they’re going to reset it and they’re not the thing is they know tanah Hill doesn’t move like he used to
They’re not gonna put they’re not gonna ask put they’re not gonna ask tanah Hill to throw the ball 40 times it’s still it’s still gonna go through Henry still gonna go through okay yeah I will say this uh our our guy Adam schfer ran a lineup question by me today and uh one
Of them was Taj Spears so he’s considering him but you know if he knew that Derrik Henry was gonna get face out he wouldn’t be asked me the question I’ll tell you that uh the other guy was Jake Ferguson by the way who I really
Like this week I I said I’d probably go Ferguson um John real quick on Henry Seattle’s run defense has probably been the worst in the league the last month that is true it’s been really bad since they traded for Leonard Williams they’ve given up over 140 yards rushing in five
Consecutive games 18 tce totally what are you thinking one last ra it’s December Baby Let’s he does have the Jags at home in the finale so it’s not his last home game that’d be a really good last harah considering some of the classical games he’s had against them yeah well uh let’s
Move on to Jacksonville at Tampa uh what are the injuries here uh oh Campbell still limited yeah the yeah Lawrence it doesn’t look good for him the ankle’s not the issue he’s still he’s in the protocol he hasn’t done anything yet so it’s it’s looking more
More like it’s going to be CJ Beth by the way the Beth injury to his shoulder which he’s had for several weeks is to his non- throwing shoulder um Z Jones probably will not play it’s a new injury it’s the hamstring that’s why he couldn’t finish the game so there that’s obviously not
Good and then Tyson Campbell this is a big one for for Baker he’s still limited still limited so is it fair to say if you work Con cussed the week before and through Thursday you’re still a DMP like you’re out because yeah it’s really hard if you miss five straight
Practices it’s really hard to get cleared because like you got to clear like at least one or two hurdles just to practice right see John there’s six steps to it and you got to be able to the point where you could at least be limited yeah so it would be tough I I’ve
SE I’ve sat in on three hours with a a concussion calls with the NFL recently last three four years I think that’s the only thing I got out of it right there what I said only thing I remembered uh let’s see here well injury or matchup wise uh pretty good schematic match up
For Baker uh you mentioned the the Campbell thing I Like Big Mike I don’t see canot like Godwin and how about our guy Rashad white since week nine I heard today uh he is second in the NFL in scrimmage yards by behind mcaffrey yeah it’s incredible this is uh I I look I’ll
Put it this way with Rashad white he’s way better than I expected and I I was super high on him I couldn’t I tried draft him every League I was in but after exactly what I expected no no no no no you let me finish he got off to a
Terrible he looked really bad yeah yeah awful and I was like man I can’t believe I’m gonna be wrong on this yeah so for people who are who want to know I actually try to trade him in the ACI which I’m in now the semi-finals nobody wanted no one would take him
John this is how down I was I literally was willing to give him up for like like like a a below average starter yeah I just I I it looked so bad it looked bad but but Dave Canal to his credit stuck with him and it’s look the Sean Tucker
Experience never worked anyway they didn’t have a choice and honestly it all goes through him John it really does of course man so dangerous in the open field here yeah uh what what a buzz kill though with the Lawrence thing because man I Brett I really like Calvin Ridley
Here but I don’t know if it’s gonna be CJ beat hard what what do you think yeah I don’t I mean if if Trevor goes then I I like the matchup um Tampa Bay has been definitely you can throw on them all day um but yeah I don’t it’s
Hard to really comment with with bethard there so what is Jamal ago’s role going forward I mean he’s a slot guy but Washington’s a slot guy do they interchange those guys Adam any one of you guys they did interchange them um it seemed like for design touches Parker
Washington was getting some some of those with agnu and then when they got down in the red zone it was Parker Washington yeah between the 20s though they they played agnu quite a bit so he it’s interesting because he barely played he only played 10 snaps in
Offense and he played a decent amount on on special teams um they love that this kid Cooks he’s a big undre to free agent like uh I think Elijah Cooks is his name he played he played 14 he’s just a big guy converted tight what’s
That yeah yeah so so but right now John with Jones highly unlikely to play You’re gonna see that Tim Jones Tim Jones is their shot play guy from a couple years ago that it’s it’s it’s going to go the passing game is Ridley and Ingram right now that that’s really
What it’s going to be all right all right well yeah exactly and a pretty good match up there for uh Ingram uh and and I think V should play come back from his toe injury he’s missed the last two games and Carlton Davis should get cleared so that’s where T Tampa’s
Defensive injuries are Arizona at Chicago Brett how bad is this offense right now and how bad is Kyler Murray playing or is it simply a function of they literally have no wide receiver it’s definitely somewhat to do with the wide receivers Kyler looks a little more
Um I would say less willing to extend plays with his feet than he had in the past um first game I was really impressed he was really disciplined got the ball quickly played within structure now it’s almost coming at a detriment though so when when he is using those
Legs it just seems untimely I don’t there’s just a there’s a big disconnect I think not having the receivers is a big thing and look they’re offensive Line’s actually playing really well too I think the last five weeks they’re one of the best if not maybe second best
Team in pass protection I don’t know how they’re doing it right pressure rate allowed H it’s it is it is puzzling but it’s a really really nice coaching job there so it is I don’t with that said though it’s kind of weird that they can’t get it going because they are uh
You know they’re protecting their quarterback usually that’s all you need yeah yeah and they’re they’re not it’s not like they’re not running the ball they’re they’re having periodic success um yeah I don’t really have any thoughts here uh it’s not the best matchup I mean
I I I’d use Murray and a pinch certainly but I I’d like to not use him uh and and Adam we can’t use hollowood Brown at all like forget it no he’s okay so it’s the same heal injury he’s had for five weeks he pulled himself out of the game didn’t
Return he hasn’t done anything this week Greg dor who people probably in deeper leagues were probably looking at he’s got a shoulder injury he hasn’t done anything oh this is this could be bad I’m I’m praying it he’s fine but I don’t I won’t know till tomorrow Co kek got
Added with a cceps injury um didn’t take all his reps today but you know he has a history of playing through injury so we’ll learn more tomorrow but that popped he was an ad today Brett not the greatest schematic matchup for fields and potentially without his boy KT uh
And not technically the greatest for more but I mean just matchup player on player offense on defense it’s like the Cardinal defense stinks so what do you think of fields this week yeah I I actually like Fields this week Cardinals they can’t rush the passer they suck against mobile quarterbacks field should
Have all day the the designed QB run stuff too is plag them all year um I I think this is probably a slam dunk spot for Fields now who who joins him with that party I’m not entirely sure I said on the the show yesterday on the series
Show that I like Dante Foreman this week quite a bit oh totally yeah yeah Atlanta’s or sorry Ariz has really struggled with that inside physical run game so I think that that could be just a huge Edge for Chicago and this could be a huge Edge for people and granted
You got to take on some volatility here but and I’m I’ve been wrong before but I’ve also been right before a lot and I I that’s a good way to say you know I’ve been wrong before but I’ve been right before um I I’m really kind of feeling
Like a like a buck 25 one to two touchdown game Brett for Deontay yeah why not yeah I mean Arizona’s run defense here’s why not Roshan goes get gets it and does well you know he only plays the negative game scripts though and I don’t see get a lead where it’s
Like so insurmountable Chicago feels the need to have Roshan in there sorry to cut you out these roles are it has been fluid in my mind but maybe a little solidified now yeah I Roshan really if you really go look at it he’s really only played in games they
Were trailing or the one caveat is blit heavy teams where they need him in pass protection because he’s so good at pass protection I don’t see Arizona presenting that as a problem okay um and and certainly we’re using uh our beloved Trey McBride against anyone we love that guy
Great dude great story Dallas Cowboys at the Miami Dolphins um injury-wise here uh Tyreek he worked today limited they won’t know till after tomor practice I want to see how he reacts uh Tyron Smith’s back acted up that’s not good for uh for for for Dak and I know mi’s
Got all sorts of injuries on defense but they brought it last week against the Jets so that’s something to keep an eye on yeah I’ve got Miami’s D and I don’t know what to do I’m gonna start him because I cut him I me they were awesome
For me but I’m like I’m not I couldn’t do it this week yeah yeah well pending a waiver wire move uh my alternative is Detroit they they don’t do crap you know yeah um how about that Tony Pard story today how about that he said he he he hasn’t felt normal till
Like a month ago I didn’t know that oh come huh that’s interesting about that leg injury yeah it’s well he looked okay in training camp but okay but he thought he was back yeah he wasn’t because he say he’s feeling a lot better I maybe that’s why
That maybe that’s why he didn’t look good this season yeah yeah yeah um uh yeah I guess that’s about it injury-wise there are a ton of dudes here though like we’re not worried about moster uh hn are you worried about moard or hn Adam no no
No uh how about the o line stuff though no they’re it’s banged up Armstead they don’t know we they don’t know if he’s hun Jackson yeah Hunt’s out he’s not playing he’s been out for a while everybody the whole Line’s hurt yeah uh Jackson should play with the quadriceps
Uh Armstead they never know it looks better this week that he has in recent weeks but he’s just a he’s been a train wreck with injuries and yeah Dallas has got to be motivated now what happened last week apparently they had they had almost they had 10 to 12 players limited
Last week with illnesses you with the flu whatever was going around in building and it really screwed them up practice-wise and that that was a big reason why they were terrible now Dallas’s run defense uh henkins is probably out again they’re not a good run de like you could run on them last
Week yeah they you you could run on them I know some weeks they look better but you could run all these guys and it’s critical for Miami to run it Brett uh as good as two has been at times this year man you sack him and pressure him take
Away that first read all that you Cloud it up for him not good um but I do like this matchup here for him and Tyreek what do you think yeah I do um you know Dallas has giving up some stuff to the outside corner or outside receivers um you know when they play
Teams that can protect it’s been good Miami has the o line injuries but if they if they get a good you know five out there it might be all right running the ball though to your points going to be super important Dallas’s run defense sucks um it was bad all last year it’s
Bad this year they really don’t even care it’s not even really something I mean they’re starting like oie OD OD I can’t even pronounce his namea he’s like a 280 pound you know three technique he’s a wrestler he’s strong kid but he’s more of a pass
Rusher let’s face it so not really not really you know fitting the run very well their linebackers are also really bad so they’re playing like they have a a safety that’s basically playing full-time linebacker for them now he’s just small um he gets picked off by guards coming to the second level all
The time they just they really can’t defend the run so both of are off the ball linebackers are smaller yeah Bret right this is a g team you could run on you know it starts with a run anyway with Miami so yeah start your dolphin guys is uh Leon vanderash done done for
The year oh yeah he’s on IR neck um I really do like the matchup for Ferguson for what it’s worth um good one schematically Miami’s giving up numbers Brett do you think they’ll travel uh Garrett um or Jaylen Ramsey a little bit as they against Garrett
Wilson last week on lamb I don’t I don’t I think lamb plays too much in the slot for that to really matter yeah um I like all of Dallas’s pass catches for what it’s worth just because I think Dallas is GNA have to throw the ball in this
Game to to compete um they pass protect really well too so see Dallas’s pressure rate allowed the last what five weeks is less than 30% their o Line’s been excellent so um and you can’t run against Miami either that that’s been you know proven over the course of the
Year so uh I really do like the Dallas pass pass catchers just because of the volume they’ll get uh Miami does play a lot of you know zone defense where you know quarterbacks are just reading reacting pattern matching stuff like that so I think CD could work the middle
Of the field pretty well there I’m I’m I’m pretty confident both him and Ferguson well you get those you get them on those crossers in the like yeah you know you like like run away from them kind of Dallas like to get meshy they
Run a lot of mesh so it’s gonna g be yeah I could see that yeah I could see that I I bet they find a way to get Ramsey on lamb most of the time he’s outside kind of you know maybe or a little bit more but yeah of course the
Other guy’s xaven Howard who’s still also good um we can move on to New England at Denver and this won’t take long um Adam it does look like Hunter Henry has a chance though yeah uh also forget about Stephenson no chance absolutely no chance yeah he’s in practice since he
Got hurt uh well Henry didn’t work today I thought he did no no he did not okay well then we’re not no no no no no um now there’s been no reporting on this that he’s out this week so may you know if he could be at least limited tomorrow
He has a chance but if he doesn’t practice forget it a deor forget about dolage this season uh it’s not going to happen and peryan has had this linger knee problem but he’s off the injury report with it that’s pretty much it for both teams with injuries so you’re not I’m kind of
Feeling Zeke here a little bit I know he got sty a little bit last week but Denver’s been bad against the Run yeah sure BR any thoughts on on the you know anything jump out at you like Adam asked me it was a good question um basically
Is courin Sutton good enough for belich to try and take him out I think he certainly is I mean yeah he’s been a monster this year and I don’t think uh Denver will be able to run the ball either so makes it even easier on Bill to do that
So yeah I think that could make it a Judy game I hate to say it it could make it a Judy game if I have to count on it though I’m probably not too excited about that well they do still play a lot of man and we do like Judy against
Man he’s had a couple near Miss big plays lately too actually you know had a touchdown taken off the board I think the week before last but throwing it out there he started the game last week with a 40 yard catch and I don’t think squat after that of course
Those with Judy they’ve probably already been eliminated by now true so and then I I will say one thing the one thing I think about javante is he he could get some serious volume in this one right Adam oh yeah because this is this is a quagmire low-scoring game
Probably going to be some turnovers the back should dominate the the the the rushes the thing you’re always concerned about with the wingland can they even move the ball but I would agree with your assessment though and Zeke at least they should feature him because they have nothing else yeah yeah yeah
Although Kevin Harris had a nice little run last week 18 Yer uh Parker’s off the injury report not that you should be using him he’s he’s so frustrating but this is an ugly game in Denver ugly Raiders at Chiefs uh good schematic matchup for oconnell I like Devonte I
Know we’ll see lerus sne I don’t really care uh I’ll take my chances with Devonte against man uh good schematic match up for Myers I mean Brett might Aiden oconnell stay hot in this one there’s a lot of data points that look pretty good yeah yeah I like the matchup
For I mean relatively speaking I like the match up I like Adams against man like you said um the volume should absolutely be there um Kansas City they you know their pressure rate has been all over the place this season when they play Bad old lines shockingly that
Number goes through the roof um spags really has to dial it up though and so when you’re gonna commit a bunch of bodies to the pass rush um I I just like I like the ability for for Devon Adams to win those one-on-ones every time
Whether it’s lerus sne or whoever so y I like that a lot Adam Antonio Pierce certainly indicated early in the week that Jacobs was gonna go but he’s still he yeah he didn’t work today so they you know we’ll see they remember they don’t play till Monday they practice Friday
And Saturday uh it’s a quad sub centy Trey Tucker actually played more than Renfro in the last game and they’re they’re they’re gonna continue to take a look at him his biggest issue is his hands uh the receiver coaches I talked to love his explosiveness but the hands are really questionable and apparently
This was a problem for him in training camp that’s why he didn’t get a lot of time early on but he should continue to to be a Flash Player here uh playmaker and by the way in the first matchup Myers did very well in the the matchup
Um in week 12 where they got off to the quick start they’re up 14 to nothing then of course they lost but Myers LED them uh Adams got made some big big plays you starting them oh yeah oh yeah hell yeah uh ri rice for the win um let’s go pretty good schematic
Match for killed him in the first match up killed him we do get Peko back Adam yep yep Brett does the futility continue for momes you know not a bad game last week I think this one will be similar I actually said last week I thought he
Would get 250 SL2 I think he got that but he turned the ball over twice but uh what do you think about Mahomes here yeah I I I like it I mean Raiders defense isn’t great they’ve got I mean it’s not bad it’s not bad either but
It’s not great they have very small Corners um I think you know the physicality of the Chiefs why receivers play with whether that’s Watson or mvs Bodwell for Mahomes I really like Rashi in this matchup as Adam said he annihilated them the first game the last
Five weeks he’s got 39% of his targets are design throws which is like leads the NFL his threat rate is 33% over that time as well which is insane what’s threat rate what does that mean uh basically targets per route run it’s just a it’s got a few variables removed
From it but okay um so he’s he’s you know top top seven in the league in in threat rate which is really really nice so has he replace Kelsey at all for like at times as like that yeah big body in the middle of the field he kind of seems
To me like he’s kind of replace Kelsey in some sense I wouldn’t say replace is the right word he he has a high higher Target share than Kelsey right now but against Z like Kelsey gets an extra body every time as the team plays own so
Rashi just has to win a one-on-one which makes it easier so it’s not that he’s replaced Kelsey but Mahomes has taking the easier matchup there for sure um also I don’t want to Victory lap too hard here John but I was the only guy in the entire draft community that had a
Mock draft with rushy rice going in the first round last year I just had to throw wow nice yeah you were you were um yeah and and and by the way it’s not like he’s like this great athlete or anything like although I I mean faster
Than I thought after the catch his rack is John his rack is what it’s about his R his ability with a bon his hands it’s pretty damn good Debo light yeah yeah yeah he he’s there were questions about how explosive he was but I think I don’t think it
Matters because he’s so physical yeah and he knows where to go that’s a that’s a coaching term he knows exactly where to go with the ball he runs day daylight really well I got like Devonte Adams was not like a quick twitch guy yep yep y
Um yeah so that’s it for that game I don’t think we need to spend any more time on anything there Giants at Eagles Adam uh I do kind of feel like uh Tommy cutlets is going to get you know the Eagles going to be a little little
Pissed here uh man the Giants do have some injuries though a couple things so I again we don’t have access to the Eagles game plan they only Blitz twice which is absurd against Drew Drew locked feet I don’t know why they didn’t Blitz that was stupid Patricia man I I get
It I know they’re a coverage based dime def this is what they do they they try to muddy looks that’s the New England defense but man when you got Drew lock and that lock was terrible for three and a half quarters but gez that was bad um Waller came out of the game
Okay with his hamstring so he’s good to go uh Paris Campbell’s out of the rotation uh not surprised it’s been he’s been the downward spiral because you see uh you see what uh you kind of see what they’ve done um with with uh with and wandale wandell’s are too well again
They don’t it’s Slayton it’s a committee it’s Slayton it’s wandell now is heavily involved yeah and high is there’s three and hodgin is again they they’ve kind of demoted him but Waller being back now this is his second week his role should be better Eagles are not good against
Tight end so he should do well yeah what about Juan Dale uh who did Philly get back uh at corner today oh Ivon Maddox is their slot corner he should be back oh yeah is he back uh well he’s started practicing he should be he he’s got a chance to be
Play uh to be cleared no doubt wow so that that would be great for Juan Dale yeah yeah yeah um I mean he’s he’s very fast but again he hasn’t played three months oh Darius Slay is out again with his knee surgery so yeah yeah I
Don’t know if they have anyone to take advantage but okay I I and I don’t know what to do with uh Barkley and I I’m Eagles run John has been leaking he’s had some good games he used to it was the best run defense for the first half
Of the Season there were they were historically dominant not anymore not anymore what do you think Brett uh go right back to the well with Barkley man Adam bring up brings up a good point he has had some good games against them but last week was pretty bad but yeah I the
Eagles have been just really bad against the run it’s shocking actually with how much talent they have in that def line they could be so bad against the Run um and Patricia won’t help that either because Patricia doesn’t know what he’s doing but um yeah I like I like Barkley
A lot I really do the checkdown thing too one thing that’s helping Barkley a lot since DeVito took over is deito is surprisingly athletic yeah they’re tag and read option on like most of these runs and it’s really helping because they’re putting a you know one of those
Defenders in conflict and um you what they did with Danny dimes all year it is just it wasn’t really working as well so I’m talking last year oh yeah yeah yeah exactly last year it did work really well so I I really like it I like what
I’ve seen with with the the Run game since deito took over so I good spot for Barkley okay I guess I just got just freaked out about last week and yeah all right um and then for Philly you know they play a lot of man I mean it’s a
Moot point to really break down Jaylen Herz Adam because the tush push is the cheat code or the cheat code I mean the guy he’s got problems after problems but he’s still he’s not playing well John he’s not he’s really struggling uh yeah doesn’t matter though yeah well look
He’s still he has an outside chance now to get 40 combined touchdowns which is a joke considering how poorly he’s playing um yeah he’s missing wide open pass targets he’s he’s looking down Brett’s been talking about this the tape’s bad it’s scheme to the scheme’s not
Great yeah I know you’re not I you’re not the only one that’s got problem with the scheme I’ll uh I’ll leave it at that um Philly Eagle media fan base yeah look it’s it’s it’s a struggle bus but you’re playing oh oh by the way here’s the question John where you ranking Boston
Scott oh right right uh he’s hit that prop like a ton of times in a row oh Scott Boston because of the giant matchup yeah since I am not ranking a guy just because he has okay okay anyway anyway yeah um uh it doesn’t get easier for Herz either John like wink
Martell defense they are very exotic on the back end they are disguising coverages like crazy Herz isn’t seeing basic coverage looks right now this Giants defense is going to give him a nightmare trying to figure out what’s going on I do like AJ Brown and some of
The one-on ones he’ll get because of the man coverage but the way they’re rotating safeties and dropping slot Corners out back like it’s just it’s going to confuse Herz a little bit I’m telling you so could make him run though could could make him run is he healthy
Enough to to do that at a high level I’m not really sure he looked pretty good this last game actually running yeah yeah had like 11 totes yeah I mean like I said you know we can we can we can spend 24 hours breaking down you know
Every aspect of the game but at the end of day dudes are gonna run 12 times you know score two touchdowns on the ground true it’s ridiculous um is God like Adam is GD her like they don’t know what they’re doing with him John they’re just it it’s it
It’s what when you asked me the last time when you heard me you were surprised I was down on him the scheme is not great he had he should be featured way more because he’s he’s a he’s a cover three cover four uh beater yes that’s what that’s what he is and
They don’t they don’t get it this is It’s been this has been a horrific regression not only for for Herz as a passer but the scheme see serani had it easy last year now he doesn’t and he doesn’t have act two they’re not be able to correct this to
This the off season I’d expect this I’d expect this to continue John to be honest I don’t I don’t see this being a Breakout game and you know Wink’s gonna bring it now Herz was good against the blitz last year but not so much this
Year I mean I will say yeah the Giants are the worst team against tight ends in fantasy in in line tight ends specifically and godd plays almost all of his snaps in line so um I that’s the that’s the one one thing he’s got going
This week but they really I mean Herz is just not even looking at right now so it’s bad that’s a problem too uh let’s move on to the next game which is the last game and it’s the Ravens and the ners uh not the best schematic matchup
Here uh on on either side I don’t think uh Brett we all know that you know it’s a tougher matchup for both offenses here yeah uh Debo maybe against Zone um I think the Niners will try and run the the ball of course uh Ravens not an impenetrable wall uh Brett what
Stands out to you as like the biggest matchup to exploit or avoid in this game um early potential Super Bowl matchup here so I’m I’m really to watch this game the one thing I would say and I’ve been hammering this home on this show probably since the Vikings played the
49ers however long ago that was yep you can pass protect against the 49ers or when you have a quarterback that can buy time against them that secondary can get annihilated yeah I think that’s the edge for Baltimore in this game is Lamar Jackson’s feet making plays also their
Offensive Line’s pretty good so they can pass protect um I know they give up like the most pressure in the NFL but that’s mostly because Lamar’s holding the ball over three seconds and drop back which is a whole another story but he things happen with his legs if the protection
Breaks down plus the o line can protect I think it’s a really good combo I think you know Odell Beckham Z flowers these guys should should have decent days Isaiah likele really liked that definitely like that yeah in the 49ers they’re their um linebackers Fred Warner and Dre green
Law they they remind me of like Texas Holden players when they’re running hot they’re just they play with such Instinct and it’s almost like they’re guessing and everything when they’re running hot those guys are unbeatable but when they’re running cold it gets real messy real fast and they’re running
Cold right now I think Warner and green law have both looked really bad the last game last game or two so yeah Adam is uh man should we keep an eye on baitman I mean he did looked kind of good last week I I couldn’t do it yeah yeah look
Explosive I’ll say that good yeah he was our guy from the beginning but he’s been such a train wreck with injury by OB obj should play he’s got an illness Z flowers is expect to play with a foot injury uh the Niners D Line’s banged out Armstead probably will be out again
Hardgrave probably won’t play with his hamstring injuryan Jennings doesn’t get the ball as they’re three much but he’s got a concussion uh berford this is good though for the offensive line berford should be back Spencer berford one of their starting guards with a knee injury he’s missed a couple
Games oh Elijah Mitchell that’s why Mason’s getting the ball he’s he probably won’t play he’s been out for a while with a KNE inj another knee injury for this guy gosh yep I had to I have mcaffrey in that superflex dynasty two- week playoff you know y uh I picked up
Mason this week uh over Mitchell as a handcuff just for like next week uh for okay yeah uh will we see Mel Gordon yes as the as the three yes I mean I would think he has might have a chance to carve out a little bit of a role here
Uh it’s little because it’s Gus is the closer Gus will be their main guy you got Hills to change up and Melvin is a three you know they it they do play three backs but it’s it’s quite different without Mitchell who’s the change up explosive guy all right well
That’s a wrap uh one hour and 11 minutes not too shy uh we thank our guy Tommy T on the other side of the glass uh we’ll be uh hearing a lot from Thomas going forward here at Fantasy points.com and for Adam Kaplan and Brett Whitefield good luck in
