0:00It is a great day to go beyond the box score from week two and break down some things that you might have missed unless
0:05you had a chance to watch pretty much every play. I'm talking about drop touchdowns, unrealized error yards, touchdowns that were called back by
0:12penalty. Players who got all the way at the oneyard line did not score on the same drive. I like to call this the she
0:17report because it's the sort of moments that happen during the course of any given game that simply make disgruntled fantasy manager say sheesh. So with that
0:24guys, let's get after it. Starting off with touchdowns that were called back by penalty. just two this week, but one for
0:30Travis Etchen. That surely will not make their fancy managers feel any better. It was actually a two- yard touchdown run late in the game where the Ravens were
0:37pretty much like, "Hey, go ahead and score, guys. We can get the ball back faster." Opened up the runway for Etchen. Unfortunately, the Saints had a
0:44false start penalty. They got moved back and then Tyler Stark scored a couple plays later. Side note on guys, I'll talk about a little bit more with my
0:51running back stuff here on Wednesday or whenever that gets published. But I wouldn't be freaking out quite as much as everyone else is in the fantasy
0:58community. I understand for week two purposes it's not ideal that Alvin Chimera out touched this dude. All right. But we're also talking about
1:05Alvin Chimera doing absolutely nothing with those touches. We're talking about a Saints offense that looked really good out there. And now we're talking about a
1:12guy that they just paid $50 million whose value is at an all-time low in the fantasy football streets. So again, the
1:18first two weeks haven't been ideal. I don't have these great usage numbers to point to you guys and say this is why
1:23you need to buy him low. I'm just thinking the Saints are a competent organization. Their offense looks good and they probably gave this dude 50
1:29million freaking dollars to eventually use him quite a bit. So, it's going to be too late to go ahead and buy this
1:34dude low once he does inevitably start to get more touches. Just something to think about if you can find someone where yeah, maybe they need a
1:40quarterback because they lost Caleb or Jaden Daniels. I really think you can maybe package like a wide receiver three and an RB3 for a guy that I still
1:47maintain has upside RB2, you know, production in his potential range of outcomes if and when the Saints decide to start using them. Okay, back to
1:55originally scheduled programming. The other touchdown that was called back this week, Jordan Love had a seven-yard rush where he got absolutely blasted
2:01upon crossing the goal line, but it's honestly a good thing he did end up getting offsetting penalties from a Packers hold and he end up throwing a
2:07touchdown to Christian Watson a few plays later. some additional big plays that got called back by penalty that I understand sometimes allowed the big
2:14play to happen in the first place. But that said, yeah, Chase Brown, Javvante Williams each had 25 yard runs taken back by holds. Drake London had a
2:2225-yard catch nullified on a face mask penalty. Please, for the love of the football gods, get back on our television. Michael Penn, we had Jir
2:30Gibbs have a 19-y run nullified on a hold. Chuba Hubard had 18 and 17 yard runs nullified on a hold and illegal
2:36shift on back-to-back plays. DK Mechaf actually did catch a ball out there and then it got taken back by a hold 15 yard
2:42catch for those wondering. Coulson Loveland have 14 yard catch nullified by an illegal shift. Think about that. We almost had 17 yards from Coulson Lovelin
2:51and people want to panic about the guy.
2:53I know I was wrong for recommending Coulson Lovelin very very much so. We'll talk more about that as the week goes
2:59on. Uh Jaguars running back Tutin had a 14-y catch nullified on an illegal block above the waist. Haven't seen that one
3:06before. I swear to God, that's what I said in the playbyplay. Then also 49ers running back Kayn Black had a 14-y run
3:11nullified on a hold as well. Now, the players who were tackled at the one-yd line and did not score a touchdown on
3:18the same drive. A list that usually includes Eagles and Bills running backs because Josh Allen and Jayen Hurst decided to take all their touchdowns
3:24from the one-yd line. But hey, as we're going to find out here, a lot of teams don't have that, you know, just
3:29quarterback who can go ahead and punch it in from three feet away. So, accordingly, their running backs get stuffed time and time again. Not the
3:35best thing in the world to actually be watching as a real life football fan, but can be quite painful in the fantasy
3:40football streets, especially for Kenneth Walker fantasy managers, guys. Not once, not twice, but three times on the same drive. Got stuffed at the one before
3:48Mahomes finally found Jaylen Royals for the touchdown. It happened to Ashton Genty twice on the same drive. They actually gave him, I believe it was four
3:54straight rush attempts inside the 5yd line. The last of which was a Wildcat direct snap. He could not score. JK Dobbins had three straight attempts on
4:01the same drive. Two of which got stopped at the one yard line. He could not score. Emanuel Wilson had two of these
4:06on different drives and George Lonnie had two on the same drive. The Seahawks finally have to end the game because Jaren Price was out with a chest injury.
4:13Actually just let AJ Barner go ahead and tush push his way across the goal line.
4:17Be very curious guys if one of these years we see a tight end actually wind up being their offenses deacto goal
4:22lineback would be an absolute cheat code here in the fantasy streets.
4:26Additionally, James Cook, Jonathan Taylor, DeAndre Swift with a lost fumble. Tony Pard and Rashad White were running backs stop at the one yard line
4:33and did not score on the same drive.
4:35Also saw Jaylen Waddle, Mike Evans, Parker Washington, Taekwon Thornton, and Khalif Raymond get tackled just short of the goal line. And Jawan Johnson as well
4:42to help set up that eventual gamewinning Tyler Shook touchdown. Next up, guys, we got unrealized air yards. All right, this is a nerdy stat that basically
4:51quantifies the total air distance that incomplete targets traveled. Okay. So, if I am throwing the football to Jameson Williams and I freaking launch one. All
5:00right. And it travels 50 yards from the line of scrimmage to downfield, but I threw it too far cuz I have a cannon.
5:06So, Jameson did not catch it. That would be 50 unrealized air yards chocked up to Jameson Williams. It's a good stat to
5:12help just try to again quantify some potential missed out fancy friendly opportunity because, you know, it just goes in the box score as one incomplete
5:19target. But, I think we can agree we want downfield opportunity. a 150yard target that falls incomplete. You know, a little bit more telling to know how
5:26far it travelveled downfield as opposed to a screen that was just thrown through receivers's feet. With that said, we had 10 different players rack up at least 70
5:34unrealized air yards in week two. And by the way, this is all pre-undday football. Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaren week high 146 unrealized air
5:42yards. Much more on him throughout the rest of this video. Buccaneers wide receiver Ted Hurst had 136. Adenai Mitchell 116. Tez Johnson 108. Yeah,
5:52Baker was airing that thing out. Could not really connect on much of it though.
5:55Just one for five on pass attempts thrown 30 plus yards downfield this season. Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson. Eagles wide receiver Devonte
6:02Smith. Ravens wide receiver Chris Moore.
6:04Another Texans wide receiver Jared Bruce Wayne had 89 unrealized airs. Parker Washington and Mecha Ibuka. Rounding out the list here. Next up guys, our
6:13defensive pass interference tracker.
6:15Okay, this is a situation where I am looking at whether or not a player actually drew defensive pass interference and then how many yards
6:21they were rewarded. Sometimes it can be of the tickytack variety. I get it. I have gone back and watched these. And
6:26I'll let you know when it was a situation where yeah, the player honestly looked like he was open, but because the DPI couldn't come down with
6:32the football, we had five players rack up at least 20 yards of defensive pass interference penalties in week two.
6:37Headline by Matthew Golden had two of these racking up 61 total yards. Had a step deep on both of them, guys. So
6:44disappointing drop early in the game where it looked like he might have had some room to run after the catch. But
6:48despite the rather mundane box score wheels up for Matthew Golden, particularly with his passing game condensed now after Jaden Reed's unfortunate neck injury. Also note
6:57Laquan Trebwell had two DPIs totaling 49 total yards. Michael Wilson had two as well totaling 21. Jets wide receiver Adai Mitchell racked up another one of
7:06these 34 yards in a particularly egregious variety. He had a step deep and the Packers dude literally just tackled him downfield. Could have,
7:12should have, would have been a big game for AD Mitchell otherwise. Then also Broncos wide receiver Corland Sutton kind of blanketed but drew the 22 yard
7:19DPI. Anyway, last note here. It was not a DPI penalty, but Justin Jefferson, guys, it was a defensive holding penalty and shout out to the Bears because it
7:28was a very productive one. They ran this cool um what do you call it? It was like a wheel back across the field. Justin
7:34Jefferson kind of came across. He was trying to get lost in the mess and then he sprung out, you know, just on the
7:39other side of the field. Carson Wentz cocked back to throw the football.
7:42Jefferson had a couple steps. This legit could have been a 68 yard house call, particularly considering it's Justin Jefferson. Now, could Carson have put
7:48the ball directly where it needed to be in the rain? That's a question for another day. I hear you. But anyway,
7:54Bears end up holding Justin Jefferson.
7:55So, all the Vikings got was five yards and an automatic first down. Again, best case scenario, 68 yard house call for
8:02Jedas. Next up, guys, we got the interception doctor section. As always, I need to clarify. I am not personally a doctor, but I played football for quite
8:10a bit in my earlier life. You know, just amazing guys. D3 backup linebacker.
8:15That's the kind of stuff you're dealing with right here. But look, I've watched football my whole life. Very much been my full-time job for the last 10 plus
8:22years. I can usually watch a play with the benefit of all 22 and tell if an interception was actually the quarterback's fault or not. You guys
8:31probably can as well. when you see a wide receiver fall down or you see it literally bounce off their chest and
8:36then get intercepted. It's not rocket science here, okay? So again, it's trying to just go ahead look at the whole thing, take into account drops,
8:42take into account guys falling down and also sometimes the wrong route being run. Not going to be perfect here, but again, we are trying our best. And with
8:48that, guys, there were actually five different interceptions this week that I would not exactly put all the blame on the quarterback.
8:55I think both of Justin Herberts were excusable. And I'm starting to laugh because I know it's Miss Captain if and I actually did not even tweet this
9:03because I didn't want to deal with everyone coming at me trying to say no everyone. It actually wasn't Justin's fault. I know everyone does this too
9:09much. But hear me out. The first interception absolutely no no you know debate. This was not Justin Herbert's fault. He hit David Njoku in the chest.
9:18It bounced off his chest and was intercepted by the Raiders. So that one definitely wasn't. And even the second interception, man, it was tight
9:25coverage. Defender made a good play on the ball. It was also third and 11 down two scores with 2 minutes and 30 seconds
9:31left. Okay, similar to last week, I gave Bryce Young some slack on his interception. It wasn't the perfect pass, but when you're put in a position
9:37where you're actively trying to push the ball downfield without too much time left, again, I'm going to give him a little bit of an excuse there. So,
9:43Justin Herbert, I did not think either of his INTs were the of the particularly egregious variety. Also, our guy Jack Strand, hell no. I'm not blaming that
9:51pick six on him. It actually hit Jan Datson square in the chest. I believe in the instant review show I said it was
9:57Zachariah Branch. So I apologize to Zachariah and the entire Branch family.
10:00Johan Dodson, you are the new number one enemy for our Jack Strand fan club. Also note Aaron Rogers not exactly playing
10:07his best football this season so far to put it nicely, but yeah, his interception was not his fault. He actively hit rookie Jeremy Bernard in
10:13the chest on a screen. It bounced right to the defense. And then also Kurt Cousins, guys, two pretty bad interceptions in week one, but man, it
10:20was not his fault in week two. Trey Tucker literally fell down. Otherwise, it looked like Cousins was about to hit him right between the numbers. So, great
10:27game there by Kirk. Going to hold off Fernando Mendoza at least for another week. And if I had to bet now, probably
10:32would be a bit longer. Last main section, guys, these are situations where players dropped a touchdown or a massive play or was it a situation where
10:40a better ball could have, should have, would have resulted in a touchdown or again a massive play. So, again, I try
10:46to take into account things like pressure. Was it just some ridiculous 70 yard throw that it wasn't realistic given the arm angle? Things like that.
10:53But again, here's what I have so far.
10:55That we had five situations where a player straight up dropped what should have been a touchdown. All right, first up, Buccaneers wide receiver Ted Hurst
11:01from 23 yards out could have been the gamewinner. Had it in the bread basket down the left sideline, just couldn't quite squeeze it. Probably because it
11:08was freaking wet as hell at that point in the game. Also know Titans wide receiver Alec AO Manor wasn't so epic
11:14when he dropped a 5-yard touchdown from Cam Ward. Also at Commander wide receiver Terry McCorm. If it wasn't right before Jaden Daniels injury, it
11:21was two plays before it. He was open in the back of the end zone. Jaden zinged it in there. Diggs kind of flashed in
11:27front of him. Maybe that was the issue.
11:29But this ball went directly through Terry's hands. Sheesh. Browns wide receiver Denzel Boston. This one was not officially ruled a drop by the overlords
11:38over there at Pro Football Focus. I disagree with them though. You can go judge it for yourself. I have this article up for free at rotoire.com. I
11:45link the play. But yeah, Watson put in the bread basket from 16 yards out.
11:48Could have been another score for the very, very impressive rookie wide receiver. Then also Bears tight end Sam Roush had a potential 17-yard touchdown.
11:56Again, not ruled a drop. He took a hit after the you know what I would call a drop, so maybe that's why they didn't do
12:02it. Personally, I thought it was a drop.
12:04It was in both of his hands. And the way the guys bounced off him and he managed to keep his feet could have should have
12:08would have again been a 17yard touchdown. Those were the drops. These are now situations where again I actually think that the receiver with a
12:15better pass could have been scoring six points. Starting off with once again Justin Jefferson guys managed to get his fingertips on it in the back of the end
12:22zone. Watching it live I thought it was a situation where maybe this was actually more of a Jedi drop. In reality
12:28though after catching the all 22 I think WZ was late getting the ball there allowed the safety to get over top.
12:33Anyway, could have should have would have been a 17yard touchdown with a better ball from Carson Wentz.
12:38Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaren appearing here once again. wide ass open on a trick play double pass that featured Antonio Williams, who guys, by
12:46the way, I wouldn't blame you for not catching many Clemson games over the years. They have not exactly been mustwatch TV for quite some time. But
12:53during Antonio Williams career at Clemson, this dude was lethal as a passer. Four for four in college for 143 yards and two touchdowns. Could not keep
13:02the good times rolling though at the NFL level. Had Terry McLaren open for what should have been a 23 yard touchdown. It
13:08wasn't a horrible pass. Terry just looked over his right shoulder and then Antonio threw it kind of over his other shoulder instead. So he tried to turn
13:15around. Couldn't quite make it happen.
13:17Sheesh. Buccaneers wide receiver Amecha Ibuka got free for potential game-winning 20 yard score right after that Ted Hurst drop. Unfortunately Baker
13:24sprayed it out wide. Been a disappointing start for Amecha Ibuka. He was open on this play though. And even in week one we highlighted this a while.
13:32He was open down the sideline like the second play of the season for 40 plus yards. So I think I looks pretty
13:37healthy. I think he's getting open. I just don't think Baker's been playing particularly good football to start this season. So, I'd like to thank Baker
13:44who's been pretty volatile throughout his career. We'll have better days ahead and everything. Not exactly force feeding the ball to a Mecca though.
13:50Might just be a little bit more of a borderline wide receiver 2, wide receiver three in fantasy land than all of us would appreciate. Also know
13:57Buccaneers wide receiver Ted Hurst. Yes, he dropped one earlier. Also, yes, he should have had a walk-in 47 yard touchdown about two minutes into this
14:05game, guys. his coverage defender even fell down at the end. Unfortunately though, Baker overthrew the guy again. I even went back after seeing some of
14:12these plays and was like, has Baker thrown on target deep ball yet this season because all I can remember is him
14:17again leading this guy several yards too far each and every time. He did hit TZ Johnson deep, which is pretty impressive
14:23because that dude has a catch radius of a house cat out there. But yeah, Ted Hurst could have been the breakout game
14:29with two touchdowns. One was his fault, one was Bakers. Also note couple Texans misses. I still think CJ Strad given the
14:37fact he didn't have Nico Collins out there put some good throws on paper but I am wearing the Buckeye hat. Maybe I'm
14:42just being a homer. Jared Bruce Wayne was open for potential 39 yard touchdown and a 22 yard score. Stra overthrew him
14:51on both. And then Xavier Hutchinson late potential 40 yard score. CJ could not make use of a pretty rare clean pocket.
14:57Also overthrew him there. One of the ones to Wayne. He was under pressure.
15:02I'll give him some credit there. These weren't egregious. It wasn't like the defender fell down like we talked about the Ted Hurst one, but yeah, Wayne
15:09Hudson were open for potential scores if Shadow had thrown perfect passes.
15:12Commanders wide receiver Trayon Burks.
15:14This was one that again much more egregious in my opinion. Unfortunately, Jaden Daniels missed what could have been a 56-y touchdown. Ran right past
15:21the Cowboys secondary, but couldn't get a catchable pass. Also, Ravens wide receiver Chris Moore. Best case 65 yard touchdown, but it would have taken a
15:28pretty special pass from Lamar Jackson.
15:30was open enough though for what should have been a 40-yard gain on like a third and 25. Unfortunately, Lamar threw it
15:35out of bounds. And then finally, Falcons wide receiver Jan Dawson mentioned him before ruining Jack Strand's day, but maybe he was just mad because he was
15:42open deep at the end of the first half.
15:44What could have been a 40 plus yard trunk gain, but freaking Cooper Rush decided to be anything but a professional quarterback and hilariously
15:50underthrew this one. Final note here, didn't exactly have his cleanest category, but yeah, this Washington game, guys, do not give the Cowboys
15:58defense more respect, okay? Because again, we've already talked about Terry and Trayon Burks and the first half ending with Washington on the Cowboys
16:05doorstep at the oneyard line. But arguably the most egregious miss of the day was what I thought should have just been straight up called a touchdown for
16:12Dammy Brown. Again, I think I might have said Stefon Diggs in the moment on the Sunday night review pod. I will watch
16:17the film and get better as always. But yeah, Dam Brown had a 29 yard touchdown in his bread basket. Knee down. One knee
16:24equals two feet at the NFL level. I He looked like he had control, man. like he had two hands on the football with a
16:31knee inbounds. They reviewed the play and everything. Still didn't call it a touchdown. I believe Tom Brady was even kind of bulking at it on the broadcast.
16:38Yeah, not good. Everyone out there started Marcus Mariota and Dam Brown.
16:42Really, really tough scenes. And now guys, I got a comment last week. We thought that was a great one. I always
16:46appreciate all your guys comments and they just wanted me to kind of break down uh real quickly at the end the top
16:51three to five kind of biggest instances here that impacted the fantasy players because I know I'm throwing a lot of different stuff at you. So anyway, the
16:58top three she's players from week two.
17:00Number one, yes, again it is Terry McLaren. Led the week in unrealized area yards, dropped a one-yard touchdown, got missed wide open from Antonio Williams
17:08on what could have been a 23 yard score.
17:10There was even another play in the second quarter. Wasn't even the same drive. He dropped the one-yard touchdown where Jaden basically threw it out
17:17there. He wasn't open, but he went up and got it anyway. And they initially ruled it a touchdown on the field. They
17:23reviewed it and it wasn't a score, but man, really close guys for being a three touchdown day for Terry McLaren, but
17:29instead just a dud in the box score.
17:31Number two, I will go with Buccaneers wide receiver Ted Hurst. Again, it was his fault for dropping the 23 yard touchdown, but could have had that 47
17:38yard score if Baker literally just threw it anywhere near him. Really hate against seeing the overthrow, particularly considering the defender fell down. So, shish day for Ted Hurst.
17:47I would like to normally say, "Hey, Ted Hurst, okay, like let's get back on the train now and feel good about chasing
17:52these points here in week three, but given the fact that Jaylen McMillow was active, but really just ease back into action, it's going to be tough to fully
18:00trust Ted Hurst as anything other than, you know, a low price DFS start throw."
18:03And then finally, it would be Justin Jefferson again. I think he only finished with like 55 scoreless yards out there. But it was a rainy day.
18:10Mother Nature was being a real biotch in week two. had the near miss 17 yard touchdown where again I would tend to
18:15put more of the blame on Carson Wentz but it did hit his fingertips and if you're the belief that if it hits your
18:20hands you got to catch it go ahead and blame Jettis for that one and then again had that holding penalty that took away
18:24the potential 68 yard house call later in the game so scary Terry Ted Hurst and Justin Jefferson could have should have
18:30would have had the bigger days but alas they did not and alas this video is reaching its end point guys if you like
18:36the video please like the video hitting that subscribe button does help as well week three we're here I'll be back with
18:41quarterback running back wide receiver tight end rankings and tears videos all season long. I'll get some Friday injury news for you guys and yeah, just
18:48generally talking balls. So, appreciate all the support. Hope your guys' fantasy teams are 2 and 0. If they're not, well, good thing America loves a comeback.
18:54Let's get in the lab and figure this out together. So, appreciate you guys tuning in. As always, I'm Ian Hardis. Until
18:59next time, take care everybody.
