What is up, it's the rant, my name is Jeff Racken, but it is Thursday, November 4th.

0:20.3

Got a quick one for you today as you can probably see from the time stamp on this bad boy.

0:25.2

Just some wide receiver cornerback matchups for you did want to start the show though with some news about a wide receiver you may have seen what's going on with Odell Beckham Jr.

0:35.2

He is essentially away from the team. The team is excusing him from practice is the way that it's being put. There is a big rift between these two parties and I don't think there's going to be a good resolution here in terms of you know,

0:54.2

you know, a kumbaya moment where everybody is just cool. We hug it out, bro, and call it a day. I don't think that happens.

1:04.2

Now Jason Lock and for from over at CBS Sports did say that as of right now it looks like the Browns are completely willing to just completely burn 53 man roster spot which is crazy to pay him to not play.

1:23.2

That's where we are. If you have Odell Beckham Jr. right now there's no resolution with the Browns that's likely in theory could the Browns ultimately come to some kind of financial resolution here and then part ways with him. Yes, but I don't know if that's going to happen. So if I really needed a roster spot and I have Odell Beckham Jr. right now.

1:46.2

I would cut Odell Beckham Jr. right now as crazy as that is. That's where we are. All right, let's dive into the matchup upgrade and downgrade information for wide receivers here for week nine fantasy football.

1:59.2

You can get this info over at FTN fantasy dot com using promo code rat pack you can get in on the wide receiver cornerback matchups tool, the DVP tool, the and that's defense defense versus position, the shadow coverage index so many other tools as well plus rankings projections and the discord chat the very, very popular. I did not think it was going to be this popular discord chat.

2:26.2

But all of that as part of the subscription. So go check it out. Tyree kill gets an upgrade and I lead with him just to make sure that I remind you that I am talking to two audiences here. Yes, yes, I am talking to a season long audience where you're always going to be starting Tyree kill.

2:46.2

But I'm also talking to a DFS audience where hills price point may not always be appealing. Well, this week he is appealing 18 targets last week. This week gets to face a packer's defense that does not have Jair that has Eric Stokes Kevin King looks like he'll be back this week.

3:04.2

Chandon Sullivan, I mean, the matchups beautiful Sullivan almost exclusively in the slot this season. So Hill will see a bunch of him and well, when you look at that matchup so far this season, Chandon Sullivan is allowed 95% of his catchable targets to be caught posing white outs of score twice against him this season.

3:26.2

Stefan Diggs, a manual Sanders coal beastly let's not freak out over last what's never freak out over last week. Let's look at the bigger picture here.

3:36.2

Last week's numbers could fully especially with manual Sanders. So I already noted this, but it is worth repeating. Xavier Howard shadow digs Byron Jones shadowed Sanders coal beastly got shadowed by Nick need him.

3:49.2

If you are Josh Allen who would you throw the ball to I mean, it's pretty obvious here.

3:55.2

That's not going to be the case this week and I really I love digs this week Tyson Campbell on the outside there, especially when he's up against him.

4:04.2

There's no no shadow coverage in this one, but when he's up against Campbell giddy up baby Campbell is allowed 16.1 yards per catch posing receivers have converted six of nine contested targets into catches not much there that's challenging for digs.

4:22.2

Debo Samuel, oh man, he's been awesome this season ranking second among white outs and receiving yards and he's going to keep on rolling here.

4:30.2

Now I know the last time he faced Arizona, it wasn't the best day from a productivity sample. I mean, you got an end zone in that one.

4:36.2

But let's not forget Tray Lance was under center in that game. Now Jimmy Garoppolo, the offense is obvious a little bit more wide open. It's not wide open.

4:46.2

But it's more open. Let's put it that way with Jimmy G under center than with Tray Lance who largely got covered up.

4:54.2

So that being said, it helps for Debo.
