| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to PFF fantasy football podcast. I'm your host, Ian Hart. It's happy week six. Everybody we have made it here finally got some buys 14 games to preview great day to be great. Let's get after it as always. I am joined by none other than |
| 0:22.2 | PFF senior analyst, Dwayne the rock MacFarlane Dwayne. This is the part of the week where we have recorded like three podcasts within 36 hours of another. How are you my friend? |
| 0:33.7 | I'm good man. I'm ready. I'm ready to lock this one down and you know throwbacks and beers. Great day to throwback some brusquies as always. As always I will go through the away team. Dwayne will go through the home team. We talk for a while. We hit on most guys. This isn't exactly meant to be an all-accompensing preview of every match up. |
| 0:52.2 | We're recording this at 5pm on Tuesday. Still got to figure some stuff out throughout the week but at a minimum. We want to give you at least one very solid fantasy football recommendation per team. So with that said, kick things off with Thursday night football. Buckeneers at the Eagles. |
| 1:06.4 | Tiffin based sitting pretty as seven point favorites game. Total's held in steady at 52. So with the Buckeneers. We got Tom Brady, QB2, Mike Evans, |
| 1:15.0 | Wider Seever 11, Chris Cobb and Wider Seever 13, Antonio Brown, Wider Seever 25 despite missing a game. Rob Gronkowski tentatively expected to be back this week. We'll see about that rib injury. Obviously he's someone that if he's healthy, you can feel good about him as a low end Titanium 1 at worst. |
| 1:32.0 | Let's talk about Leonard for net though for a second because as much slander as he's gotten over the years and specifically last year couldn't even make the Jack Wider roster. A lot of people wrote him off for the dead. |
| 1:42.0 | Dwight, he's been looking pretty damn good this year, man, specifically over the last week or two and in week five only Nick Chubb and Alexander Madison force more total mistakles then. |
| 1:52.0 | Leonard for net as a receiver as a rusher. He was looking good against a bad Miami defense. But hey, you know, even the worst defense, the NFL still for professional football players trying to take you to the ground. |
| 2:03.0 | So now facing the Eagles defense over the past three weeks, Zee gripped off an RB three finish, Clydebors, a layer RB 12, Truba Hubbard last week, RB 16 finish. |
| 2:12.0 | So looking at for net on the season, combined carries and targets per game 16 15, 7 and that extremely negative gamescript against the Rams where we saw Giovanni Bernard end up getting fed for most of the game. |
| 2:26.0 | And over the last two weeks 25 and 17. So Leonard for net, Dwayne, even if we don't have the Giovanni Bernard pass down role, which I think would elevate Lenny to true top 12, RB one status. |
| 2:38.0 | The way things are rolling with Ronald Jones in a clear, clear backseat and early down work. I do think for net should be in, you know, the majority of fancy lineups as a rock solid, you know, mid tier low end RB two. |
| 2:50.0 | We'll continue to kind of give guestimons for where we have these guys ranks. Dwayne and I usually get our rankings done Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, but that's kind of how I'm feeling about for net here and moving forward. |
| 3:00.0 | Let tomorrow's disappointment, not influence, let yesterday's disappointment, not influence tomorrow's fancy start. Sit decision. Now Dwayne, not quite as many fancy relevant options on the Eagles, but at least we got a couple high end ones. |
| 3:13.0 | Yeah, we always have Jalen Hertz because he doesn't care, you know, Ian, who he's playing, he doesn't care what the matchup is. I know last week, like, because I have Hertz on a ton of teams, it was in the third quarter and I was like, oh, man, maybe this is the week. |
| 3:26.0 | Maybe this is the week where Hertz just doesn't come through. No, just kidding. He's going to rush the ball in for two touchdowns. Still comes up at 25 points. You know, that's why I tweeted out. He doesn't know how to score less than 25 points. |
| 3:36.0 | Not in his DNA. And so while I look at the matchup, you know, it's not particularly great. It's not bad. Really, I mean, the bucks are a little bit banged up right now. So it's not like they're an invincible force. But there's going to be a lot of points scored in the game. 51 and a half, you know, the spread seven points. So, you know, the Eagles are going to be trailing. But the beauty of the Eagles, you know, I wrote about this in the utilization report. |
| 3:54.0 | I added a new feature this week. Ian, so I'm always trying to add these new features. And it was just really focuses on, okay, what is the past volume environment look like the run volume environment for the team? And then the past run tendencies overall for the team and the thing with Philly is their pass heavy. |
| 4:10.0 | So that's going to be good for the receivers for the running backs, no matter what the other note I'll give you this week is you have Zach Hertz potentially by himself as the loan tied in for the Eagles. |
| 4:20.0 | We have Dallas Goddard who was added to the COVID-19 list. So he's probably not going to be able to play. So that is going to push Zach Hertz into the top 12 tight ends. I haven't put an exact number on him yet. Ian, but I know he'll be in my top 12. It's just going to be him suiting up without Dallas Goddard last quick notes. |
| 4:36.0 | We did see Miles Sanders. You know, soon as soon as I gave Miles Sanders the downgrade, you know, the utilization report the week before we talked about Kenny game well the week before on the wave of wire report. |
