00:00All right, we talked about the Chargers having a soft secondary matchup against the Bengals

00:07here.

00:08Let's look at a wide receiver on that Chargers team and let's talk about the Chargers rest

00:11of season.

00:12It's Quinton Johnson, I'd say available in 40% of leagues right now.

00:15Joe, let's talk.

00:16Yeah, just about.

00:18And that shouldn't be.

00:19Great matchup.

00:20He's a streamer.

00:21He's a starter this week.

00:22He is ranked as wide receiver 38.

00:23So he is absolutely in lineups this week.

00:26Touchdown equity.

00:28Last two weeks, again, four catches for 118, the touchdown last week, again, less Tennessee.

00:33Pretty good defense.

00:34Only a two catches for 24.

00:35But he did have that touchdown against Cincinnati.

00:36I expect to have a much better game here.

00:38So I'd be looking much more towards that 480 with a touchdown kind of line.

00:44I think that's certainly well within his realm now.

00:46He is also passes by which makes him valuable these next couple weeks ahead.

00:49He's got Cincinnati.

00:50Then guess who next?

00:51The Baltimore Ravens.

00:53We want that matchup, don't we?

00:55After that, Atlanta, Casey, then Tampa.

00:58Another great matchup into the playoffs there.

01:00We've got Tampa, Denver and New England.

01:04So this is a good situation here.

01:06Quentin Johnson, I think at this point is a guy that it's kind of shocking that he's

01:08not in the 70s.

01:10I understand he is not as consistent as a lot McConkey in terms of PPR.

01:14I get that.

01:15But in terms of a body that you can play in the flex spot, this is exactly the kind of

01:19flex play you want.

01:20A guy that's got upside potential for a four for 118 in a touchdown game.

01:24And he just showed you he could do that.

01:26He's got back to back weeks of Cincinnati and Baltimore.

01:28Yes, please.

01:29And Joe, let's remind fans, most leagues, the fantasy playoffs kick off right around

01:33week 14, 13, right around there.

01:35Is that correct?

01:36Yeah.

01:3715, 16, 17 nowadays.

01:39Don't play in week 18.

01:40It's going to be a bad time to saying don't do that to yourself.

01:44It's a waste.

01:45All right.

01:46A couple of minutes left.

01:47Let's continue to get in as many as we can.

01:48Ricky Pearsall is a number now that everyone is all over here.

01:5262% roster.

01:53Joe, should we be jumping at this?

01:56I should be.

01:57He should be rostered higher than he is.

02:00And you could see that number taking up four for 73 last week.

02:03We had the one big play for a touchdown.

02:05It's just tough because, again, a lot of mouths to feed, right?

02:08So it really depends on the health of Jawan Jennings and Debo Samuel.

02:11And that health has been spotty.

02:12So I think Pearsall should be a guy that's definitely worth a bench stash right now.

02:16Seattle, Green Bay, Buffalo, the next couple of weeks, playoff schedule, Rams, Miami, Detroit.

02:20So he's definitely a guy that you can think about flexing, but more to the point, somebody

02:24that you want over weeks 12 and 14 as a body.

02:27All right.

02:28Closing it out with a couple of running backs that will be available in about seven out

02:32of 10 leagues.

02:33The first one will be Trey Benson from Arizona, 31% rostered.

02:36What should we do?

02:37Yeah, he's on a buy this week.

02:39So pick him up for free because he came up a really good game.

02:42James Connors, an older running back.

02:43The Arizona Cardinals are in this thing right now.

02:46And you can never have enough running back depth.

02:49This is the time too, where if you have James Connor, you want to make sure you have Benson

02:52on your roster.

02:53So you don't have to waste any fab or God forbid, lose them to somebody else who's got

02:57more opportunities to get that player.

02:59So now's the time to stash them on the buy.

03:01Same thing with Gus Edwards too.

03:03So Trey Benson available in 70% of leagues.

03:06I think that's a mistake.

03:07I think it should be much higher, more like 50% than a Gus Edwards.

03:10Another one too, where, you know, Dobbins has been the guy, but Gus Edwards is going

03:13to eat into that chair a little bit.

03:14If something should happen to Dobbins, also not been the pillar of health throughout his

03:18career.

03:19So you could see Gus Edwards stepping in immediately and that would not surprise anybody.

03:23It's a very run heavy attack.

03:24Last but not least too, the Patriots made a change here.

03:27Tyquan Thornton was released.

03:28They look for a trade.

03:29They couldn't find one.

03:30It was a terrible draft pick.

03:31Obviously it did not work out.

03:33So Jalen Polk, interesting, but also a guy like Keyshawn Booty, who's a rostered in just

03:387% of leagues.

03:39You can see some of those guys start to pop a little bit down the stretch.
