| 0:00.0 | We will react to the Nick Chub injury and give you some advanced stats on a couple of players in the Chiefs Washington game and more. |
| 0:11.4 | Right now on Fantasy Football Today in 5. |
| 0:13.6 | What's up, everybody? |
| 0:14.9 | Welcome to the show. Adam Azor and Jacob gives you. |
| 0:17.0 | Jacob is the master of advanced stats. |
| 0:19.9 | So Nick Chub out this week, obviously Kareem Hunt is a must start, but how good could it be? I'm really excited for it. If Cleveland, you know, can, I mean, really in any game script, I think it's going to be good. But Arizona has really struggled tackling this year. They've been one of the least disciplined teams, They're the third worst tackling team on the year. And so like I was really excited for Nick Chubb because of course he's one of the best tackle breakers in the NFL. He's second in the NFL broken tackle rate over the last two years. You know who's been even better since Nick Chubb has been in the league. He has the best broken tackle rate since Nick Chubb got in the league. And that's kind of |
| 0:55.6 | random sample sizing. But yeah, better than Austin Eckler, better than Chub, better than anybody. So great match and form, definitely start Creme Hunt. All right. So who do you want to talk about? You want to talk about Rondell Moore? You want to stick with this game? Yeah, you know, let's go on the other side of the ball there. |
| 1:08.8 | Rondell Moore got a season high |
| 1:11.1 | in Snap right last week for the first time |
| 1:13.2 | all year. |
| 1:13.6 | He ran more routes than Christian Kirk, so that's obviously exciting. |
| 1:16.8 | And I think the matchup here against Cleveland is exciting as well. |
| 1:21.6 | The Browns play a ton of zone defense, which Kyler Murray has been notably better against in his career. |
| 1:27.3 | And he's also, Kyler Murray saysda has come way down against zone defense. |
| 1:32.0 | And we've seen him target his perimeter receivers significantly less. |
| 1:35.5 | DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk, EJ. Green, all those guys have seen their target per |
| 1:39.1 | route run, raid drop, versus zone coverage. |
| 1:42.3 | And this is, of course, a really small sample size. But Rhonda Moore has been targeted on 33% of his routes versus zone, which is the highest of any cardinal. If you look back to his time at Purdue is the same story. I think it makes sense, given the types of routes that he likes to run, and going against a Cleveland defense that I think has the fourth lowest opponent average depth of target in close games. So I think it makes sense. It all sets up well, especially with Arizona missing spots of linemen. It makes even more sense that you might have to kind of dump it down to Edmonds and Rhonda more pretty often in this spot. So combine that with, you know, the extra snaps, the extra routes. It's a pretty exciting spot. Could be the Rondo breakout game. |
| 2:18.3 | All right. |
| 2:18.6 | Interesting. |
| 2:19.1 | Interesting DFS play for sure. |
| 2:20.9 | So how about the Washington, Kansas City game? We're hoping for a high scoring game. We're hoping for Terry McLaurin to play. How much would you like Taylor Heineckee if McLaren is playing? I think Heineke is somebody you could realistically get in your top 12, top 15, if Terry McLaurin's plan, I think he's somebody that I'm going to have a lot of exposure to in DFS. |
