Speaker 2: I'm saying it's a cash.

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 4: We'll see most gamblers when they go to gamble, they

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 4: go to wind.

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,880

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: Thanks man, I think you're underestimating how handsome Pete Oversett is.

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: I just want to say that.

26
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: I'm not and I'm giving you the slight edge. Sean,

27
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: how's it going well?

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 3: What's up? Last week? It was a little bit brutal,

29
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: especially in the Fantasy Pros contest. I had Robert Woods

30
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 3: like ten slots higher than ECR, So his surprise and

31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: active really hurt me, and that really unfortunates is going

32
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: to happen. But hopefully, for whatever personal reasons, he's okay.

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: I hope everything goes well there. I don't want to

34
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: talk about Fantasy Pros because it is not going well

35
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: for me at all. Denny Week eleven, any takeaways that

36
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: you have from it?

37
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: We have a little thing called a podcast on the

38
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: Living Stream Patreon page where I defended the Brian Hill

39
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: process last week. It this doesn't isn't necessarily a to

40
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: Brian Hill into you know, coming into this week, but

41
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: he saw decent volume. He saw sixteen touches against a

42
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: bottom dwelling run defense in the Panthers. The takeaway was

43
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: that the process was good. The results were not great,

44
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: but I think that we can maybe should ignore that

45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: that's so that that sort of outcome next time a

46
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: running back comes available at such a cheap cost and

47
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: somebody who's available on a lot of waiver wires.

48
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: You had a one yard touchdown run that got called

49
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: back to the kind of a ticky tack holding penaltygue

50
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 3: and yeah, people will be talking about differently if you

51
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: know that didn't happen. So I agree.

52
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're in the situation this week where again

53
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: we do have some some Hill esque type of guys

54
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: to talk about with both Scarborough and Jonathan Williams. So

55
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: we are we are right back there again, Denny. I

56
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: want to start with you by looking at the quarterbacks

57
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: at the top of our rankings. Right now, we have

58
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson, and Russell Wilson. At the top

59
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 2: of our week twelve rankings. Jackson and Deshaun Watson. Both

60
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: of those guys are off of the Maine late but

61
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: for people in season long, they're definitely in play. Who

62
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: are the guys you like this week?

63
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: Well, I mean one guy who at a very low

64
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: price DFS wise that I like is Nick Foles, and

65
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: I know that the Jags have a pretty pretty bad

66
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: imply total. I think it's around twenty right now. But

67
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: Tennessee is I think kind of a low a low

68
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: key kind of good matchup for quarterbacks. Seventy two percent

69
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: of yardage gained against the Titans have come via the pass.

70
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: That's the eleventh highest rate in the league. Tennessee is

71
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: allowing seventeen point seven schedule adjusted fantasy points to quarterbacks.

72
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: And you know, we saw last week Foles had almost

73
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: three hundred yards and two touchdowns in you know, negative

74
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: script against the Colts. So the Jags are three point dog.

75
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: Here we could see, you know, some of the same

76
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: kind of stuff unfold, and you know, I'll take I'll

77
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: take the garbage time points from Nick Foles.

78
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: All right, So you are relatively high on Foles Sean,

79
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: you are relatively high on his former teammate Carson Wentz

80
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: to He's someone who's popping in some of our Fantasy

81
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: Labs models. He's also in play or dfs there.

82
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it makes sense that he's popping on

83
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: models because I have him ranked as the QB six

84
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: right now, and I think he's a guy I've been

85
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: kind of saying, you know, the time to buy law

86
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: on him was a couple weeks ago. He's been in

87
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: sort of a brutal stretch. You know, he obviously had

88
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: the game last week against the Patriots, which I think

89
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 3: he did pretty well. You know, if Nelson Aglar caught

90
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: that touchdown at the end of the game, I don't

91
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: think he'd be priced fifty six hundred this week. So

92
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 3: he's at home against the Seahawks, much better matchup. He's

93
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 3: only fifty six hundred, So I think he's a great

94
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: play this week on DK. I'm projecting him right now

95
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 3: that Alshon Jeffrey will return this week. I think if

96
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: he's out, I'll probably bump him down a bit because

97
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 3: they're I mean, the receiving court is pretty brutal right now.

98
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 3: So you know this, this is sort of with the

99
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 3: caveat that Jeffrey suits up. I like him this week,

100
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: and you know that they have the fifth highest team

101
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 3: toll this week. We always mentioned that's that's pretty correlated

102
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: with you know, QB projections and what we expect from them.

103
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: So I look for him to bounce back over these

104
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 3: next few weeks. He has a pretty easy schedule, so

105
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: he's a guy I've been buying low on the past

106
00:04:59,480 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 3: couple of weeks.

107
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: Raymond, one guy you are relatively high on is Jeff Driscoll,

108
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: who has some I mean, I think kind of undervalued

109
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: abilities as a runner. He actually has three pretty good

110
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: receivers to throw to and you know, an up and

111
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 2: coming tight end.

112
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: And T. J.

113
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: Hawkinson, what are your thoughts on Jeff DRIs school this week?

114
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: What can we expect?

115
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 6: I mean, that was a heck of an intro Friedman.

116
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 6: You just kind of nailed all the reasons to like Driscoll.

117
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 6: But yeah, you know, I think the rushing ability is key.

118
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 6: You know, he's averaging twenty three DK points in two

119
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 6: starts with the Detroit Lions, and I think he has

120
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 6: an outside shot at getting that one hundred yard bonus

121
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 6: on the ground. Like they haven't been kind of capping

122
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 6: him as far as throwing. When they got behind against

123
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 6: the Bears, he threw forty six times. And you know

124
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 6: he does have as you mentioned weapons, you know, Gallade, Jones, Howkinson.

125
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 6: So this is a Redskins pass defense that you know,

126
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 6: we saw Sam Darnold, who had struggled in even some

127
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 6: some pretty good matchups, kind of come alive against them.

128
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 6: They are number twenty six in DVO against the pass,

129
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 6: number twenty one against the run, so I think dual

130
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 6: threat wise one way or the other, Drisco will find

131
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 6: his way to pretty high floor, probably fifteen ish Fantasy points,

132
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 6: but he has that upside for another twenty five or so.

133
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 2: So one guy I'm relatively high on is Aaron Rodgers.

134
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: He's coming off with the buy and although it's a

135
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: tough matchup with the forty nine ers, they've looked fairly

136
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: ordinary over the past three weeks, or more ordinary than

137
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 2: they did at the beginning of the season when they

138
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: were just dominating teams defensively, so I think it's an

139
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: underrated spot for him. One guy I'm relatively down on

140
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: is Tom Brady and Denny I know that you also

141
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 2: are low on Brady this week. What are your thoughts there?

142
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm well, I mean if you look on DK

143
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: he's praised at QB eight, which is just seems way

144
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: too high to me. So, I mean, this is a

145
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: team that obviously struggles offensively. They're running the ball a

146
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: ton New England as eleventh and runs per game, and

147
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: I was looking at his recent game logs. So Brady

148
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: has thrown ninety three passes the past two weeks and

149
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: scored a grand total of twenty three fantasy points. We

150
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: in the industry call that not good.

151
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: Sean, where are you on someone you're relatively low on?

152
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 3: I don't like the other quarterback in that game that's

153
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: at the same price at six K, Dak Prescott. I mean,

154
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: this is pretty easy take to have any QB against

155
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: the Patriots. We fade, but I think people will still

156
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,559
Speaker 3: be tempted to take Prescott here at the cheaper price.

157
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: I mean, he's been tearing it up, but where do

158
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: I even again? You know, the last QB to throw

159
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: for over two yards other than Wentz last week was

160
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: Big Ben in Week one, and the Patriots they become

161
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: you know, pretty run funnel defense lately. So I think

162
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: this is a game where we'll see a lot of

163
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: Zeke carries. And you know, going back to team totals,

164
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: the Cowboys have the same team total as the Redskins

165
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: this week, so my model really doesn't have many touchdowns

166
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 3: to go around for this offense. So, you know, Dak,

167
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 3: I think the way he hits value might be his

168
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 3: rushing ability, but you know, at six k, I'm not

169
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: willing to take that chance. I think he will be

170
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: over on this week. I think people will kind of

171
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 3: overlook the tough match up care and still roll with them,

172
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: but I'm going to be pretty low on him this week.

173
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an intriguing spot because the Cowboys have the

174
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: number one pass offense, but they're going against the team

175
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: that has the number one pass defense. So it's I

176
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: think a good litmus test in a way, even though

177
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: it's just one instance, but a litmus test for kind

178
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: of like what matters more like offense or defense. How

179
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: can you kind of go about predicting, you know, projections

180
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: for instances like this. Raymond, what are your thoughts on Dak.

181
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, kind of the same thing. I don't like him

182
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 6: in DFS do. I am a couple of spots higher

183
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 6: than you guys in the rankings. I have them at

184
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 6: as my QB ten generally in terms of, you know,

185
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 6: offense versus defense, I find that with quarterbacks and a

186
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 6: lot of the efficiency mestrics, it's it's kind of in

187
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 6: that sixty forty two to one range offense. So perhaps

188
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 6: that's why I don't have them dinged quite as much

189
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 6: as you guys.

190
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 5: But also I.

191
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 6: Think New England struggled with Lamar Jackson, which is something

192
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 6: to kind of note now that could be good because

193
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 6: they got now they got practice against them. But you know,

194
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 6: Dak did play well against you know, the Vikings, another

195
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 6: team with a pretty strong pass defense. So I do

196
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 6: have him as a fringe top ten option, but fading

197
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 6: him in DFS.

198
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: All right. Well, on the topic of Dak, Sean, I

199
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: believe that you have a prop that you are going

200
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: to offer to us. By the way, everyone to check

201
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: out the Fantasy Labs prop tool. The props on there

202
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: with a bad quality of ten dating back to last

203
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: season have a sixty percent win rate, so a pretty

204
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: useful tool for everyone interested in props. Sean, hit us

205
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: with your Dak Prescott prop.

206
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I wanted to do a Dak passing yard prop.

207
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: I think that's gonna be one of the most intriguing

208
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: props to bet on this week and one of the

209
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 3: toughest things to project right now. Right now, I have

210
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: him at two hundred and fifty four and a half

211
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: passing yards.

212
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 6: I that's tough. That's a that's a really good line.

213
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 6: I have him just over It's early in the week,

214
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 6: so I can't say I want to. I mean, that's

215
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 6: I'm gonna I'll go with my model what it says

216
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 6: now and go over. I think that like the thing

217
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 6: about Dak is he has three receivers that can can

218
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 6: kind of make big plays. And we've kind of seen

219
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 6: it at a Randam Cob now too, so you know,

220
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 6: I think that it could it could be kind of

221
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 6: a high volume game where it gets over on a

222
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 6: low yard for attempt.

223
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll have the under, but I have it at

224
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 2: two fifty three.

225
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 3: So it sounds like you all right, It sounds like

226
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 3: I don't need to do much tweaking. This sounds like

227
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: a consensus line.

228
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: Here, Denny, do you have a take here?

229
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: I go over. I'm going over because you know why,

230
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: because I want it to happen. That's why over two

231
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: fifty four.

232
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 2: Let's get to the running backs. The three guys at

233
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: the top of our ranking is Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara,

234
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: and Nick Chubb. Denny, any thoughts on those guys or

235
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 2: anyone else that you would kind of include in your

236
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: top tier of running backs for this week.

237
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara's usage was, you know, really telling last week.

238
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: I think maybe coming back from from the injury, he

239
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: gets Carolina this week, and I mean, you can't ask

240
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: you can hardly ask for a better running back matchup

241
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: than that, so I struggle to keep him out of

242
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: my top tier.

243
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: All right, anyone else who are relatively high on.

244
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: I guess Derrick Henry would be one against the Jacksonville

245
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: defense that doesn't seem to be interested in stopping the

246
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: run in a Tennessee offense that you know desperately wants

247
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: to run all the time, that makes sense to me.

248
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: I'm with you there. I actually have him number two overall,

249
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: which is super aggressive, but I mean, I think it's

250
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: kind of warranted. The Jags are a run funnel and

251
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: they're facing an offense that wants to run as much

252
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: as it possibly can, and you know, it's a week

253
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: where there aren't all that many great running backs available.

254
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 2: So I'm yeah, I'm kind of on board on being

255
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: aggressive there with with Derrick Henry. Sean, what are your

256
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: thoughts on Derrick Henry.

257
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that call. I'm high on him too.

258
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 3: He's only sixty nine hundred on DK, so he's going

259
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: to be one of my more popular running back plays

260
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 3: this week. You know, they're fresh off the buy their

261
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 3: home favorites. This should be the time here we start

262
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 3: seeing massive workloads from him down the stretch. We saw

263
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: it last year where they took advantage of, you know,

264
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 3: the defenses being a little worn down this time here,

265
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 3: So he had that just ridiculous closing stretch of the season.

266
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: We could see something similar this year. Probably not as good,

267
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: but you know, the Jaguars they've been struggling against the

268
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: run ever since Marcel Darius went down in Week eight

269
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: he was placed on the ir So we saw you know,

270
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 3: similar backs to Henry, like Carlos Hyde put up one

271
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty one hundred and sixty yards against them,

272
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 3: and then Marla Mack put up one oh nine before

273
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 3: getting hurt, and then Jonathan Williams came in and put

274
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 3: up one to sixteen himself. So we've seen these you know,

275
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: bigger between tackle backs excel against the Jaguars. So no

276
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: reason to think Henry can't crush the spot and the

277
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: other guy is both Scarborough forty two hundred. I kind

278
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: of wish I ranked them a little higher last week.

279
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: I did like him going in, but it was more

280
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 3: of a speculative kind of thing because you know, the

281
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: lion they've been searching for, you know, sort of a

282
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 3: true workhorse back ever since carry On Johnson went down

283
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 3: and Scarborough at least has you know, twenty plus carry potential,

284
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: and I think, you know, last week he got fourteen

285
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 3: or fifteen carries despite a trailing game script. So I

286
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 3: think this week at Washington, we should see him put

287
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: up between fifteen and twenty touches. So I think at

288
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: forty two hundred, you know, he's a good way to

289
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: invest in, you know, a bunch of touches and touchdown

290
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 3: potential this week. So I like him a lot at

291
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 3: that price.

292
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: All right, in Raybond, who are you relatively high on?

293
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 5: I love Le'Veon Bell.

294
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 6: He's only sixty four hundred doll DraftKings and going against

295
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 6: this Oakland defense that is number twenty two in rush Dvoa.

296
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 6: Bell has been a guy that's been high usage, high

297
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 6: snap rate guy for most of the season, and you know,

298
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 6: I think he's still a little under price. You know,

299
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 6: started had that really rough start, so you know, going

300
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 6: against again this Oakland defense not very good on the

301
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 6: ground and not very good through the air either, number

302
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 6: twenty three, So I think the Jets will be able

303
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 6: to move the ball and get him in position for

304
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 6: some goal line carries. As well, So love le'veona at

305
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 6: sixty four. I think that's a great value.

306
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: All right, Denny, you are relatively high on Adrian Peterson

307
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 2: and low on Chris Carson. Can he hear me some

308
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: thoughts on those guys? Yeah?

309
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: So, yeah, Peterson is my bull headed play. I guess

310
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: here forty three hundred on draft Kings. I know Darius

311
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: Geis is back, but you know, I think you can't

312
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: underestimate just how committed to the run of Washington's offense

313
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: is going to be. So if they can possibly hang

314
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: this week at all, I think Peterson has a chance

315
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: to see some volume. I mean just last week he

316
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: saw eleven touches in a total blowout loss. He saw

317
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: nineteen touches in a fourteen point loss the week before

318
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: against Buffalo. If Washington can hang in there with Detroit,

319
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: Detroit is giving up a lot a lot of points

320
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: to running backs only case allows more schedule adjusted points

321
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: to running backs, and Detroit he has given up ten

322
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns this season, which is the third most. So

323
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: if Washington can manage to get the ball near the

324
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: end zone, which you know is hard to say right now,

325
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, you know that Peterson is gonna is gonna

326
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: have a chance.

327
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 3: All right.

328
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: And then Chris Carson, what are the negative thoughts on him?

329
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I just I think at his DFS price,

330
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: it's just I mean, maybe maybe he profiles. It's like

331
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: a contrarian like large field tournament play or something at

332
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: that at that price. But the matchup is is just

333
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: super ugly against Philadelphia. Philadelphia allows you know, less than

334
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: a twenty schedule just to points to to running backs,

335
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: which is among the the stingiest in the league. Carson

336
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: has seen some action, you know, some passing game action

337
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: in games where script turns bad for Seattle, but I'm

338
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: not sure what you can you can rely on that.

339
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just looking at his recent target numbers

340
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: for the price, I'm just I'm really really not into

341
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: them this week, all right, Sean.

342
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier that we have Nick Chubb in our

343
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: top three, and that is because Raymond and I have

344
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: him ranked three. I believe you have him ranked I

345
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: don't know, number seven, number eight, something like that. You're

346
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: you're relatively low on him in comparison to the other

347
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: two good looking guys who do their rankings with you.

348
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: Can you talk about your thoughts with Nick Chubb.

349
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 3: Just to be clear, you know, running backs two through

350
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: seven I have separated by about point three points, so

351
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 3: there's gonna be some shuffling there. But yeah, he's the

352
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 3: guy I'm a little bit lower on this week in

353
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: DFS just because he's eighty one hundred this week now. Granted,

354
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 3: I love the matchup at home against the Dolphins. He's

355
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 3: actually he has the most projected rushing yards and rushing

356
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 3: touchdowns on my model right now. But you know, ever

357
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 3: since kream Hunt has returned, he's been non existent in

358
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: the passing game. He has five total receiving yards in

359
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 3: the two games. So I think that caps is upside

360
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: on a PPR site like DraftKings, So he basically has

361
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: to score one or two touchdowns at that price to hit,

362
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: and I just think it's you're better off spinning down

363
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 3: at guys like for guys like Derek Henry and Bose

364
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 3: Garbo especially that are you know, twenty potential carryback with

365
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: touch on upside. That's basically what Chubb is this week

366
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 3: at eighty one hundred. So I think just at that price,

367
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 3: he doesn't have the ceiling right now due to his

368
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 3: lack of you know, involvement in the pass game to.

369
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: Warrant it all right, Raymond in the top three. We

370
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: see for Nett. For Shawn's rankings, you have him ranked

371
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 2: number six. Can you talk about Fournette.

372
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Fournette is going to drop off a

373
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 6: little bit to close out the season with Nick Foles.

374
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 6: And the reason being is for Nette not really the

375
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 6: greatest shotgun back. So with Gardner Minshew, they were able

376
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 6: to play a little bit more under center and kind

377
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 6: of line up for a net in the deep eye.

378
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 6: But Nick Foles, you know, he's a guy RPO almost

379
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 6: exclusively operates out of the shotgun. And you look at

380
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 6: Fournette in his career, just three point five yards per

381
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 6: carry and seven point one yards per catch, you know,

382
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 6: out of the shotgun. But under center, it's four point

383
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 6: two yards per carry eleven point one yards per catch.

384
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 6: So he's at he's a lot easier to defend, you know,

385
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 6: when he's in the shotgun, and Foles is probably going

386
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 6: to keep him there. And this is also a tough

387
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 6: match up against Tennessee. They are the number four rated

388
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 6: defense in terms of rushing DVA. So even if the

389
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 6: Jaguars kind of want to commit to the run. I

390
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 6: don't think this is the matchup to do it. So

391
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 6: that combined with Raquel Armstead, his routes per dropback have

392
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 6: increased for three straight games, you know, ten percent couple

393
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 6: games ago, seventeen percent, and then twenty five percent in

394
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 6: the last game. So those two factors kind of just

395
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 6: cap a little bit of four net's upside, and you know,

396
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 6: like kind of comparing him to Chubb Chubb actually, like

397
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 6: Chubb and Hunter are being used on the field a

398
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 6: lot at the same time, So I'm a little more

399
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 6: scared of a guy like Fournette because Chubb, he ran

400
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 6: fifty seven percent of the routs last game, eighty one

401
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 6: percent the game of four so that averages out to

402
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 6: about sixty seven, which is right around his season average

403
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 6: of sixty nine. But for Nette, he needs all as

404
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 6: much as he can at this point because I don't

405
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 6: know if the efficiency is going to be there.

406
00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: Nice let's go to the rushing prop. I believe you

407
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 2: want to talk about Philip Lindsay.

408
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Philip Lindsay, you know, right before game time

409
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 3: last week, they announced they wanted to basically make him

410
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 3: the workhorse back. So I went and hammered the over.

411
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 3: Any prop for his rushing yards I could find, so

412
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 3: I hit big on that, but you know, they kind

413
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: of abandoned that heading on the second half of them.

414
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 3: They blew the twenty point lead. So curious your guys

415
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 3: thought Philip lindsay potentially being the workhorse back against a

416
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 3: run funnel defense. I have the highest projection I've had

417
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 3: for him all year, at seventy three and a half

418
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 3: rushing yards. So I want to see if that makes

419
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: any sense to you guys.

420
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 2: I get it, but I'm going to take the under.

421
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 2: It's pretty aggressive, and I kind of can't trust anything

422
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 2: that they say in terms of how they want to

423
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: split the workload between the two backs. So I feel

424
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 2: like I just have to kind of revert back to

425
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: what it is that they've done for the first eleven weeks.

426
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I like the under as well. I'm kind of

427
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 6: probably putting numbers to what Friedman is saying. You know,

428
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 6: I kind of use situations if there's data, like a

429
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 6: weighted average of the last few weeks in terms of

430
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 6: splitting up the carries, and you know, he was over.

431
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 6: He was sixty four percent two weeks ago and then

432
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 6: sixty two percent last week. For the year, he's at

433
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 6: fifty seven percent of the running back carries, So I mean,

434
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 6: there was a slight increase last week after they said that,

435
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 6: but nothing real major. So when you project them for

436
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 6: about just over sixty percent, it's not changing his his

437
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 6: his numbers that much.

438
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 1: I'm a little scared of script going sideways here for Denver.

439
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: The matchup is bright, I think, but like last week

440
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: when they had to start, when they had to kind

441
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: of abandon the run against the Vikings, that sort of

442
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: torpedoed Lindsay's rushing production. I think that we could see

443
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: that again here against Buffalo. Though You're right about it.

444
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: It is definitely a funnel run defense, so it makes sense.

445
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: I want to say yes, but I think I have.

446
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 2: To go with the under all right, Sean, just locked

447

448
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,400

Speaker 7: and just helping to trend and the rest of the year.

468
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into week twelve. How do you

469
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 2: think you're approaching cash games and GPPs.

470
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that it's somewhat wide open, so you

471
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 7: can just kind of build what you think is best.

472
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 7: We'll see how news breaks throughout the week, but I

473
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 7: don't think there's like huge, huge chock, and I could

474
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 7: be wrong. We'll see how things kind of break down

475
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 7: with injuries, but I think it's a more open week

476
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 7: than we've seen in the past, So it's gonna be

477
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 7: game stacking in tournaments and just looking for the best plays.

478
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: All right.

479
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 2: We are recording this on Tuesday night. As of right now,

480
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 2: who are the quarterbacks who've caught your eye?

481
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 7: I think the quarterback I like most of the DraftKings right

482
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 7: now is Matt Ryan. He's been playing great all year.

483
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 7: Going up against Tampa Bay, big funnel defense, expect Matt

484
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 7: Ryan and the Falcons to continue to play decently well.

485
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 7: I mean, the defense has been a big surprise coming

486
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 7: off the buy, but they've been playing a little bit

487
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 7: better than their record, and Matt Ryan has been balling

488
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 7: all year, so love him versus the funnel. I think

489
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 7: Drew Brees is interesting. Basically everyone in that division is good.

490
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 7: Drew Brees, Jamis Winston and a plan that she that's

491
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 7: standing out right now in Fantasy stabs models is Carson Wentz,

492
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 7: who I think is a strong play as well at Seattle.

493
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 7: I wish he had DeShawn Jackson. But do you like

494
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 7: that price tag?

495
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned Matt Ryan. Definitely going against the defense

496
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 2: that's having a lot of uncertainty right now at the

497
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 2: cornerback position. At running back. Who do you like?

498
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 7: Running back is really tricky this week on the main slate,

499
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 7: we'ren't a set of monitor what happens with Devonte Freeman.

500
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 7: He's a big piece to fall and if he plays,

501
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 7: he's probably a pretty solid play at fifty one hundred

502
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 7: of me's out, then we're gonna have to look at

503
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 7: all the backups. Really like Leonard Fournett as well, who

504
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 7: is kind of getting the squeaky wheel. They're talking about

505
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 7: feeding him even more. Obviously, love his volume. I was

506
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 7: encouraged by Alvin Kamara's usage. I think he's interesting as well.

507
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 7: Preferred Derek Henry on basically every sight outside of DraftKings

508
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 7: or it's PPR, But he's another strong play. Running back's

509
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 7: just a tricky position because there's not like the standout

510
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 7: plays that we've had in the past. So that's where

511
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 7: I'm struggling a little bit to figure out what is optimal.

512
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 7: But there's a lot of good plays, and certainly love

513
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 7: Miles Sanders at five K He's one of my top

514
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 7: plays overall.

515
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: Right, now, what are you thinking about wide receiver?

516
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, wide receiver to me is a little bit better

517
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 7: of a position versus running back. They brought Michael Thomas'

518
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 7: price down a ninety three hundred on draftings.

519
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,239
Speaker 3: I think you can jam him in.

520
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 7: You have the Atlanta receivers Lelo Jones and Calvin Ridley,

521
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 7: which I think are strong plays if you're going to

522
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 7: play Carson Wentz alson Jeffrey ends up being in, which

523
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 7: would be a boost for Wentz. He's only forty nine hundred,

524
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 7: so I think he's intriguing as well. Devonte Parker going

525
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 7: up against Cleveland is rating decently well for me. Dede

526
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 7: Westbrook's another interesting guy. I think there's quite a few

527
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 7: plays and if you want to get really thin, this

528
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 7: is on brand for me. But MARII Cooper is really

529
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 7: really cheap, as are all the Dallas guys. And it's

530
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 7: a brutal matchup going into New England. But this Dallas

531
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 7: offense is for real.

532
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we have the number one passing offense

533
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: going against the number one passing defense. You think at

534
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 2: some point the Patriots will be able to stop him,

535
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 2: but I mean you've seen strange things happen, and I

536
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: imagine Amari will also have pretty light ownership too, so

537
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 2: another point in his favor there. Finally, for Titans, who

538
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: are you looking at?

539
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 7: Zach Ertz, which is kind of why I mentioned Carson

540
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 7: Wentz earlier. I really like zach Ertz this week. I

541
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 7: think he's a really strong play. At only six K,

542
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 7: he's gonna get a ton of volume. And also, like

543
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 7: Dallas Goddard if you want to pivot off him or

544
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 7: played both potentially with Wentz, I don't hate that. So

545
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 7: those two guys are standing out quite a bit for me.

546
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 7: Going against the Jets if you want to save money,

547
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 7: vance McDonald versus the Bengals is a really strong play.

548
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 7: We'll see how the news breaks for all the guys

549
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 7: on Pittsburgh. But good Cook looked pretty good coming back,

550
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 7: and Austin Hooper could be a pamp to be contrarian

551
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 7: play as well, assuming he is good to go.

552
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 3: I already was trending in the right direction. We'll see

553
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 3: what happens with his injury.

554
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 2: All right. Finally, is there a contrarian stack for a

555
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 2: team or maybe a game that you might be looking

556
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 2: to stack that you think will have low ownership in.

557
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 7: The Dallas one before, But another stack that I really

558
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 7: like that we haven't talked too much about is Baker Mayfield,

559
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 7: Miami's a dream matchup, and I love game stacks. Think

560
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 7: Odell Beckham finally has a huge game. Chubb is interesting

561
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 7: to me. Jarvis Landry, so I'm pretty high on Baker

562
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 7: Mayfield in the Cleveland passing game and running it back

563
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 7: with DeVante.

564
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: All Right, that was Peter Jennings with his DFS thoughts

565
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: for Week twelve. Okay, let's get to the wide receivers.

566
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 2: The guys at the top of our wide receiver rankings

567
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: Michael Thomas, Julio Jones, Mike Evans. Probably no surprise there, Denny.

568
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 2: Is there anyone else you would want to include in

569
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 2: your top tier top tier?

570
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: I think, well, one time, I'm particularly high on, maybe

571
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: higher than some DJ Moore based on what I think

572
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: it would be likely Gamescript. The Panthers are pretty heavy

573
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: underdogs here against New Orleans, and we've seen what happens

574
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: when Carolina has to chase points and it's you know,

575
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: it's not terrible for DJ Moore. You know, last week

576
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: when they were chasing points in Atlanta against Atlanta, he

577
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: saw fifteen targets. The week before against Green Day, he

578
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: saw eleven when they were down to Tennessee and had

579
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: to take to the air he saw ten targets against

580
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: the Titans. You go down the list really and you'll

581
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: see any time that they've had to that they've fallen behind,

582
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: Moore has been peppered with targets. So if you're talking

583
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: about opportunity, I do think that he's a bit underpriced,

584
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: especially on DraftKings.

585
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 2: And to your point, I think it's a good situation

586
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: for him this week, and that even though the Saints

587
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: have been good against the past this year, they are

588
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 2: expected to be without Marshaun Lattimore, who they were without

589
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 2: last week, and so I think they're going to use

590
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 2: Eli Apple in shadow coverage and he's just not the

591
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:45,959
Speaker 2: defender that Marshaun Lattimore is, so an improved matchup for him. Sean,

592
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: who are you relatively high on this week?

593
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 3: So I'm liking Devonte Parker at fifty two hundred this week.

594
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 3: He's the guy that you know people are going to

595
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 3: overlook just because he's on the Dolphins. But ever since

596
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: you know, Preston Williams was placed in ir he's been

597
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 3: sort of the alpha receiver on this offense. So he's

598
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 3: averaged six catches for one hundred and two yards the

599
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 3: past two games. I think that should continue. This week

600
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 3: should see plenty of garbage time at Cleveland. And this

601
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 3: is with you know, Ryan Fitzpatrick as QB. As soon

602
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 3: as Josh Rosden takes over, I'll probably sour on Parker

603
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 3: and Giseki. So this is all, you know, just as

604
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 3: long as Fitzpatrick is starting, I think Devonte Parker will

605
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 3: be overlooked a bit and the other guy that I'm

606
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 3: liking it so early in the week, we don't really

607
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 3: know the Steelers availability like Juju and Deontay could miss

608
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 3: this week. I would love James Washington at five K

609
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 3: right now. You know we've seen the past few weeks.

610
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 3: Actually he's diverse fight as route tree where he's no

611
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 3: longer just you know, the low volume deep threat. He's

612
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: running a lot of different routes they've had. Johnny Holton

613
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 3: is the guy that just runs deep thirty percent of

614
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 3: the snaps, and you know they never throw to him. Washington.

615
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 3: I think if if both receivers are out, Washington could

616
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 3: see you know, eight to ten targets in this game,

617
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 3: and I think at five K he'd be a free square.

618
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 2: This Plus there's the Shower narrative in play with his

619
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: college quarterback Mason Rudolph, So have to give lots of

620
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 2: those lots of credit to that Raybond. I believe there

621
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 2: are a few wide receivers you're relatively high on.

622
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 5: Who are these guys like Tyro Williams.

623
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 6: This week the Jets are just one of those matchups

624
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 6: where you want to target the team's top receiver. Jets

625
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 6: are allowing the most scheduled adjusted yards two number one

626
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 6: wide receivers in the league at ninety one and a

627
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 6: half per football outside is the ranked number twenty four

628
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 6: in DVOA against number one wide receivers. So I like

629
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 6: him a five point nine k. Tim Patrick, he's kind

630
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 6: of another guy free square. He's min priced on DraftKings.

631
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 6: He saw eight targets last week in his return from injury.

632
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 6: Remember that Denver, you know they lost Emmanuel Sanders. Deshaun

633
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 6: Hamilton runs routes but just doesn't get targeted. He's like

634
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 6: Andre Patten or something. He just you know, completely inconsequential

635
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 6: on the football field. So I think you could see

636
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 6: another eight target week because Tredavious White that the Bill's

637
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 6: top corner.

638
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 5: Uh, he could follow Courtland Sotton.

639
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 6: Buffalo is also one of the better teams perennially against

640
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 6: the tight end position, and Noah Ffan's been getting a

641
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 6: ton of targets lately too, So I think this sets

642
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 6: up well for Patrick at three k uh in DFS

643
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 6: on DraftKings and Anthony Miller. He's another guy you know,

644
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 6: starting to play full time role. We saw him get

645
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 6: eleven target six catches last week. He's running pretty much,

646
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 6: you know, a route on most of the pass plays nowadays,

647
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 6: and the Giants get just torched in the slot.

648
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 5: They've been getting torched in the slot all season.

649
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 6: So at three point five k I think he is

650
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 6: another guy that you could you could look to there.

651
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 6: There are quite a few guys in that lower price

652
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 6: range this week. I think, as Sean mentioned too, like

653
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 6: if if Juju and and Deontay are out, you have

654
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 6: Tevin Jones a min price. You have Johnny Holton who

655
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 6: got seven targets last week. He's essentially the old James Washington.

656
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 6: He's he's cheap too, So a lot of guys down

657
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 6: there to uh to kind of target Denny.

658
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: It looks like you're relatively low on John Brown, who

659
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 2: I'm coming off like a season best game last week,

660
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: but that was against the Dolphins. And everyone tends to

661
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: look very good against the Dolphins. It's a different matter

662
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 2: this week with his matchup going against Chris Harris Junior.

663
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts with him?

664
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 3: Right?

665
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: So he's now in the price range on DraftKings of

666
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: guys like Edelman and OBJ. I cannot justify that sort

667
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: of pricing. He only fifty two percent of targets against

668
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: Denver this year have gone to wide receivers. That's the

669
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: fourth lowest rate in the league. Last week was the

670
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: first time Brown saw more than five targets since Week three,

671
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: which kind of shocked me. But I did confirm and

672
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: no team has allowed fewer wide receiver receptions this season

673
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: than Denver. As teams, as you guys know, attack Denver

674
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: mostly on the ground, whether that has to do with

675
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: Harris and the secondary being good, or the fact that

676
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: Denver just faces a lot of bad game script, whatever

677
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: the case may be. I just don't see a volume

678
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: based case for Brown. He could always catch a long

679
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: ball from Josh Allen. You know that's obviously in the cards.

680
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: But I I think I think he's a fade this week.

681
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 2: All right, one guy who is a fade for me

682
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: and Sean. He's also a fade for you at Tyler Boyd.

683
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: He's a perennial fad for me basically, and I'm I

684
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: think pretty hardcore anti Tyler Truther. I love that he

685
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 2: is targeted almost as much as anyone else in the league,

686
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: and yet he still can't manage to to get the

687
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 2: production that people want out of him. Can you continue

688
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 2: to pile on to him for me while I just

689
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: watch and enjoy what you say?

690
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? So, I mean, DK pricing is pretty good this week.

691
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 3: There aren't many guys I think are overpriced, So he's

692
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 3: just the guy I'm coming out on record. I have

693
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 3: to tell myself I will not play Taylor Boy like

694
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 3: you know, Bart Simpson the chuckboard right over and over again.

695
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 3: I will not play taylorboy like I've been trapped by

696
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 3: him so much. And this week, you know, I'm Tate

697
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 3: might miss AJ Green will probably out again, so he

698
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,959
Speaker 3: might be, you know, projected to do good. But as

699
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 3: long as Ryan filling his quarterback, you cannot play this guy.

700
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 3: If he's popping in a model or something, just avoid

701
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 3: him at all costs. Do not play him. The underlying

702
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: metrics are there, he gets the targets, but Ryan Finley

703
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 3: is throwing the ball and that just doesn't work out.

704
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 3: So I just have to tell myself on Tuesday, no

705
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 3: matter what happens, I'm not playing Tyler Boyd this week.

706
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: Did I see that he has ninety one targets and

707
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: no touchdowns? Is that correct?

708
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? That sounds about right. Wow.

709
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 2: You have to be talented not to find the end

710
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 2: zone with that many targets. Raybond, we talked earlier about

711
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: the matchup that the Cowboys passing offense has going against

712
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 2: that really stout Patriots defense. Obviously that will impact Amari Cooper.

713
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts with him?

714
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, and Sean mentioned it.

715
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 6: There aren't many guys that are completely, like, egregiously overpriced

716
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 6: this week, So I'm gonna go with a talented guy

717
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 6: on unlike Tyler Boyd and a guy is just a

718
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 6: little further down my rankings, and it looks like the

719
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 6: consensus I'm at. I'm at number eighteen with Amari Cooper

720
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 6: right now. It's probably the lowest I've had him all year,

721
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 6: but he's at six point six K on Raftkings. He's

722
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 6: the tenth highest priced wide receiver. Reports are that he's

723
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 6: still been affected by you know, knee ankle issues that

724
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 6: have been kind of plaguing him these last couple of weeks.

725
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 6: He only played fifty five percent of the snaps last week.

726
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 6: Now he has to go against the Patriots. With that

727
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 6: comes probable shadow coverage from Stefan Gilmour, who's allowing forty

728
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 6: six percent of the targets against him to be caught

729
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 6: for only five point seven yards per target. And then

730
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 6: New England as a whole ranks number five in GVOA

731
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 6: against number one wide receivers and they allow the fifth

732
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 6: fewest schedule adjusted yards per game to number one wide

733
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 6: receivers at fifty seven and a half. Both of those

734
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 6: are per Football Outsiders. So just a tough matchup for Amari.

735
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 5: You know, I don't. I think it's going to be

736
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 5: a below expectation game for Mari.

737
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: All right, Well, the guy who has the opposite of

738
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 2: a below expectation game is Julio Jones. Sean, I want

739
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,479
Speaker 2: to get to you because I believe that your wide

740
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: receiver prop of the week is for him.

741
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's He's a tricky guy to project

742
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 3: for me. I'm expecting this to be an obvious, you know,

743
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 3: eruption spot at home against the Buccaneers. But you know,

744
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 3: we've seen this Falcons defense resurgency hit the past couple

745
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 3: weeks has been insane, and they faced Jamis Winston this week,

746
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 3: so I'm also afraid we could see a pretty positive

747
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 3: game script where they you know, the Falcons won't need

748
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 3: to throw that much. So curious to hear your thoughts

749
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 3: on my projection there. Right now, I have Julio at

750
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 3: eighty nine and a half for Sydney Yards.

751
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 6: Over bang Over. Yeah, I mean I have him significantly higher.

752
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 6: Part of that, I think is I'm expecting Austin Hooper

753
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 6: to miss, which I kind of bumps his target count

754
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 6: up a little bit. I think some new drew a

755
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 6: few more targets than Gauge does on a pro route

756
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 6: basis as well, So just have Julio's targets kind of

757
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 6: ticking up. And Tampa Bay is just not one of

758
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 6: those teams that kind of forces you to go other

759
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 6: places when you don't want, you know, they you can

760
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 6: go to your number one against Tampa.

761
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 5: So either way, I like Julio.

762
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm in I'm in kind of a dark place about

763
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: Atlanta's defense being being decent now because it's like It's

764
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 1: like ruin my redraft life because it was so fun,

765
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, to play your Falcons players based on you know,

766
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: the likely volume, the you know, tons of throw I

767
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: think that at one point they were averaging forty three

768
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 1: passes a game. And so I hear what you're saying

769
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: about about you know, that improved defense changing things perhaps,

770
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: but I think even even with that, I think you

771
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: go over for Jolio in this game.

772
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 3: Real quick. I just realized that I have Hooper tentatively

773
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 3: expected to play. That's probably, you know, as a Hooper owner,

774
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 3: in eighty percent of my league's wishful thinking. So yeah,

775
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 3: I think if if Hooper's rolled out, I could see

776
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 3: bumping Leo up Culser at one hundred here. So I

777
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 3: just want to put that out there. That's why I'm

778
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 3: so lower right now, I guess, and I wanted to.

779
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 6: I just wanted to point out, like a lot of

780
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 6: people kind of weren't wondering about that that turnaround for

781
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 6: the Atlanta defense. It seems to be what the kind

782
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 6: of what kind of springboarded that was during the bye

783
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 6: dan Quinn took Raheem Morris. I believe it was former

784
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 6: coach of the Bucks actually, but he was the he

785
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 6: was the wide receivers coach, and he made him the

786
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 6: defensive backs coach. And we know the Falcons one place

787
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 6: they do pretty well that wide receiver, in one place

788
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 6: they do not do pretty well that.

789
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 5: Defensive you know back.

790
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 6: So apparently like it's they've been a lot more organized

791
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 6: than there have been a lot less coverage busts since

792
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 6: since kind of moving Morris over there, So I mean,

793
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 6: tenth through that, I guess we have to expect that

794
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 6: to kind of continue until we get proven otherwise.

795
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, the long term revenge game for Raheem Morris against

796
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers can't can't ignore that either. No, I'm totally

797
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 2: with Raybon on this. The Bucks are allowing the most

798
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 2: fantasy points to posing wide receivers. They allow I believe

799
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 2: the second most air yards and yards after the catch

800
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: combined to opposing wide receivers and their their cornerback list.

801
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just like Vernon Hargreaves or Hard Graves

802
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: was cut last week. They benched Jamal Deane and Ryan Smith,

803
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 2: guys who deserved to be benched, But only if you

804
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 2: have other guys who can actually play the position, which

805
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 2: they don't m J.

806
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 3: Stewart.

807
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 2: Their slot corner is injured, so they're starting a rookie

808
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 2: dime safety Mike Edwards as their slot cornerback. Like, they're

809
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: basically at the point in the season where they're just

810
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: throwing anyone out there and hoping that this guy can

811
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 2: actually manage not to be the worst player at the

812
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 2: position in the league at that moment. So I love

813
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 2: the spot for Julio. All right, let's go to the

814
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 2: tight ends here. The three guys at the top of

815
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 2: our rankings, we have Darren Waller, Zach Ertz, and Mark

816
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 2: Andrews Denny Any thoughts on those guys and anyone else

817
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 2: who are relatively high on.

818
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews freaks me out. I mean, he ran fifteen

819
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: pass routes last week something like that. That pass route

820
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: stuff with Mark Andrews freaks me out as far as

821
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: sustainability goes. But hopefully if it's a neutral kind of

822
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 1: gamescript game, I think that he could be more involved

823
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: and have more opportunity here. But I just kind of

824
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: hedge on him a little bit. One guy I think, well,

825
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: I'll be playing a lot of this week on DraftKings.

826
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: He's only forty two hundreds Ryan Griffin. In the last

827
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 1: three games without Chris in the fourth, he has four,

828
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: eight and five targets. Twenty four percent of targets against

829
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: Oakland are two tight ends this year. That's the fifth

830
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 1: highest rate in the league. And we even saw, you know,

831
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: the ghost of Tyler Eifer catch three passes last week

832
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: against Oakland's a secondary. So I think Ryan Griffin is

833
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: a thing, you know, And we've been talking about him

834
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: on Living the Stream for a while now, and if

835
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: you know, for redraft purposes, he's still out there on

836
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: a lot of way for wires. I really like him

837
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: this week.

838
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 5: Oh we've been talking about it for a while too.

839
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,919
Speaker 1: Oh, we've been talking about longer. We've been talking about

840
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: it for years. We don't even know.

841
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, we actually we are jerks.

842
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 6: We have your podfather Matt Kelly on the pile last

843
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 6: week and he he kind of came out of left

844
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 6: field a little bit, just like a lot of Ryan

845
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 6: Griffin love against the Redskins, and like we were all

846
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 6: just like, what, no, like the best option on the Jets.

847
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 6: And then of course I'm.

848
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 2: Still sure that he's doing a victory lapse on that. Okay,

849
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 2: you are high on Ryan Griffin, Sean, you are relatively

850
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 2: high on Nance McDonald. Give me the lowdown.

851
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I have Vance McDonald. I believe tight end

852
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 3: ten right now, and that's before or that's assuming that

853
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 3: Juju and Deontay suit up this week. So I think

854
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 3: if either one or both those guys ruled out, I mean,

855
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 3: he's gonna shoot way up in my projections. And he's

856
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 3: thirty five hundred and they're at the Bengals. You know,

857
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 3: I think we'll see a pretty conservative game plan where

858
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 3: they just dump it off to him a ton, and

859
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 3: the Bengals have been pretty prone to tight end lately.

860
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 3: They've allowed four top fifteen tight end finishes in the

861
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 3: past two games. So I think it's a prime spot

862
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 3: for McDonald. And you know, we should mention tight end

863
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 3: this week is really bad. You know, Kelsey and Hunter

864
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 3: Henry are on a bye. We might see Kittle, Hooper

865
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 3: and Ingram miss again. And I believe Mark Andrews isn't

866
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 3: even on the main slate, so this is a pretty

867
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 3: bad tight end slate. So I think, you know, depending

868
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 3: on the Steelers receiver's health, I think Vance McDonald could

869
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 3: be a pretty chucky play this week. If they're both out.

870
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 2: All right, Raybond, within the context of this being a

871
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 2: really thin slate for the position, you are high on

872
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 2: Mike Sicky, give me your thoughts there.

873
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 6: He's got He's got six six targets and three straight

874
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 6: game games. He's obviously since Ryan Fitzpatrick has taken over,

875
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 6: he's he's come alive. You know, he's been relevant. When

876
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 6: Rosen was there, it was it was just you know,

877
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 6: whites out for him. His route participation rate, which you

878
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 6: always like to see for tight ends because the reason.

879
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 5: It's such an ugly slate usually is because.

880
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 6: A lot of these guys are just you know, not

881
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 6: running very many routes or they're not very good. And

882
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 6: Giseki because as Sean mentioned, Preston Williams is on ir.

883
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 6: Gaseki has a real shot when he's running his routes

884
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 6: to you know, be the number two target on that.

885
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 5: Team behind Devonte Parker.

886
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 6: He ran a season high ninety percent of the pass

887
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 6: routes a week ago, and you know, with that kind

888
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 6: of participation, he's going against Cleveland. They're number twenty four

889
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 6: in DVA versus the tight ends, their weakest spot in

890
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 6: terms of DVOA Directionally, is towards the middle of the field,

891
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 6: cornerbacks on the outside.

892
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 5: So funnel a situation.

893
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 6: And then you look at Gaseki's game ones and nothing

894
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 6: really kind of jumps off the page with him. But

895
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 6: he's played Pittsburgh in Buffalo twice in his last six games.

896
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 6: You got to kind of schedule adjust for that just

897
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 6: just a little bit, since we're working with a small

898
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 6: sample here, and I like Giseki a lot, So he's

899
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 6: my number ten tight end this week on again, what's

900
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 6: in a pretty ugly sleep?

901
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:23,879
Speaker 3: All right?

902
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 2: Speaking of ugly, Cameron Braid had fourteen targets last week,

903
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 2: thanks in part to the benching of Oj Howard, who

904
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: somehow managed to help Jameis Winston get an interception by

905
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 2: like shifting the ball behind his back and then popping

906
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 2: it up into the air. Really one of the most

907
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 2: athletic plays we've probably seen this year on the football field.

908
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 2: But Cameron Braid is a guy who now seems poised

909
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 2: to get a lot of the tight end work there

910
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 2: in Tampa Bay. But Denny, you are relatively low on him.

911
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts?

912
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: I mean, mostly my thoughts are are we sure that

913
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: they benching the punishment of Oj Howard is going to

914
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: continue into this week and going forward. That's the main thing.

915
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: But the matchup is also on the ugly side. We

916
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: keep talking about ugly. Only eighteen percent of receiving yards

917
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: versus Atlanta have come via the tight end. It's one

918
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: of the lowest rates in the league, and the Falcons

919
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: have held tight ends to less than eight fantasy points

920
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: in all but two games this season. It was Darren

921
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: Fells and I believe one of the Colts tight ends,

922
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 1: but tight ends have not been targeted and they have

923
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,479
Speaker 1: not produced much at all against the Falcons is pretty

924
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: much every other position until their recent you know, sort

925
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: of defensive resurgence. So yeah, I'm just not interested with

926
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: great this week.

927
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 2: Sean, just go ahead and keep highlying on Cameron Brad.

928
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 2: I know that you also dislike him.

929
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just urging caution. He's pretty tempting at thirty

930
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 3: six hundred. Not gonna lie, but I'm not interested in

931
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 3: playing whack them all with the tight end situation for

932
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 3: the Buccaneers, and we have to understand the context. You know,

933
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 3: Chris Godwin and Mike Evans are bull shut down, so

934
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 3: you know Brat and st Miller especially having big games,

935
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 3: you know, we might like them a little bit more

936
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 3: going forward, but we have to we have to temper

937
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 3: our expectations a little bit because Mike Evans and Chris

938
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 3: Gollman aren't going to get shut down both the same

939
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 3: week again. So I think that you know, going for

940
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 3: maybe Brait or Scott Miller will we'll have some success.

941
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 3: But I'm fading break this week.

942
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 2: All right, Raybond, who are you relatively low on?

943
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Griffith?

944
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 6: No, just kidding, Jerry Graham, And this is I mean,

945
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 6: I don't I don't even think this is news at

946
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 6: this point. But you know, for everyone out there that

947
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 6: kind of you know, looks at the name or maybe

948
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 6: the quarterback.

949
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 5: And you know said, oh, you know this s guy

950
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 5: could stream.

951
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 6: This guy like please don't he's my tight end twenty

952
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 6: three this week, I think you guys are pretty much

953
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 6: in line going up against the San Francisco forty nine

954
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 6: ers in which should be a good game, you know

955
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 6: for us watching, but not a good game for Graham.

956
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 6: The Diners ranked number one in DVOA against the tight

957
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 6: end position. They're allowing only twenty six point two schedule

958
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 6: adjusted yards per game in the tight end. That's first

959
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 6: fight seven point eight yards per game over the next

960
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 6: over the number two teams. So they are just not

961
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 6: giving up much. You know, it's kind of gone overlooked

962
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 6: with how well their cornerbacks are playing but on the outside,

963
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 6: but they're just not giving up, you know, much to

964
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 6: the tight end.

965
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 5: And it's getting later in the year.

966
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 6: This is that time where we're starting to see Giseki

967
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 6: and Noah Fan and er Smith start popping Dallas Goddard

968
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 6: like these young guys.

969
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 5: At the same time, I think you have.

970
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 6: To be careful with guys like Graham and Witten and

971
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 6: start to you know, look at them, look for them

972
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:35,479
Speaker 6: to wear down.

973
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 2: All right, Sean, give us the tight end prop.

974
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so just giving Rayan Griffin maximum exposure this week

975
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 3: in honor of the Podfather. Let's do Ryan Griffin receiving

976
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,959
Speaker 3: yards because we have to. I have his over runer

977
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 3: at thirty seven and a half.

978
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 2: Under, and I don't even want to have to justify it.

979
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: Just under over over over.

980
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm surprisingly under.

981
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 6: I mean, he's my tight end eleven, but I do

982
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 6: have him a little bit under, so I'll go with them.

983
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 5: Buddel, but he's been popping big plays. I mean, it's

984
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 5: kind of.

985
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 6: A vile top projection. I wouldn't be surprised if he

986
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 6: goes over, but I'm still going with the other.

987
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to a couple of quick Twitter

988
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 2: questions here, Denny. One for you, the highest team play

989
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 2: of the week.

990
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I have to go back to Adrian Peterson's

991
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: that's a high testosterone play to just plug in, you know,

992
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: the primary early down ball carrier for a team that

993
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: has no interest in passing the ball. I mean, rightfully so,

994
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: because the past game is horrific. It's a nightmare playing

995
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: a running back and on a team that's supposed to see,

996
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: you know, negative game script.

997
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 3: Just do it.

998
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: High t very high tea.

999
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 2: All right, Denny, one more question for you here. What

1000
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 2: are your thoughts on the Colts running backs versus Bo Scarborough.

1001
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 2: Which one do you think you might be interested in

1002
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 2: picking up.

1003
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: I think it's Scarborough. I mean, if you're talking about volume,

1004
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,959
Speaker 1: the Colts are talking about time share, we don't really

1005
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: know who's going to get the most opportunity there. I

1006
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 1: think it's a little a little bit of a guessing game,

1007
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: unless unless something has happened in the past you know

1008
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: the hour that says otherwise any news breaking or whatever,

1009
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: but a Scarborough for me.

1010
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 2: Okay, Sean, I want to kick it to you. We

1011
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 2: have a question from Colleen Cassidy. What is a defense

1012
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 2: to stash for the playoffs.

1013
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 3: That's a great question because it shows you're preparing for

1014
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 3: the playoffs. But however, I want to tell you do

1015
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 3: not stash the defense for the playoffs. I think you're

1016
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 3: better off stashing you know, a high upset running back.

1017
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 3: You know that's a backup that could you know inherit

1018
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 3: the starting role if the starting running back goes down.

1019
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 3: I'm a fan of just streaming defense every week, so

1020
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 3: I'm not going to condone you adding a defense to

1021
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 3: have for multiple weeks. So I think the best advice

1022
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 3: is do not stash the defense right now. We'll deal

1023
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 3: with that when the time comes, maybe before week fourteen

1024
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 3: or fifteen. I'll have some preemptive defensive rankings to help

1025
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 3: with that, but it's too soon to do that right now.

1026
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 2: Raymond, any players to stash or trade for with the

1027
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 2: playoffs in mind, you know.

1028
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 6: For that person if they who really want a defense,

1029
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 6: and like you talk about trading.

1030
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 5: No, I've said this the whole, Like, the.

1031
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 6: Patriots have two of the best matchups you know, in

1032
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 6: week fifteen and sixteen, so you know right now, you

1033
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 6: know they play at Cincinnati in week fifteen and they

1034
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 6: play Buffalo week sixteen. So a lot of people are

1035
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 6: like anti trading for the Patriots and like all this stuff,

1036
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 6: But you know, if you can trade for them, like

1037
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 6: you can start them in an interim, So it doesn't

1038
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:16,959
Speaker 6: really matter as far as like status.

1039
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 3: Who would you use to pry the Patriots defense away, Like.

1040
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 6: I would try to do it with like a flex

1041
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 6: type or wide receiver three type or packet deal to

1042
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 6: get the Patriots, because I mean those two matchups for

1043
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 6: that defense in the Fantasy playoffs, if you're kind of set.

1044
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 2: This is like a stereotype. But it's very possible that

1045
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 2: whoever drafted the Patriots did it too early. They think, oh,

1046
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 2: like I have this fantastic asset, I don't want to

1047
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 2: trade them. And they've been getting so much out of

1048
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,399
Speaker 2: the Patriots that the Patriots are basically carrying them into

1049
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 2: the playoffs even if the rest of their team is suboptimal,

1050
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 2: because the Patriots have just been so good, so they're

1051
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:54,919
Speaker 2: not going to trade the Patriots.

1052
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 6: You know that's fair, but like you've got to hear,

1053
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 6: like you've got to hear some of the ridiculous we

1054
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 6: bone head a trade that I hear like on the

1055
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 6: radio every week that have gotten made and know like

1056
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,919
Speaker 6: so like I'm just saying for people out there, all

1057
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:07,720
Speaker 6: he could do is try.

1058
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 2: All right, Sean, I want to kick it to you.

1059
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 2: This is a question from Gavin Casper. What do we

1060
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 2: do with Brian Hill?

1061
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 3: Well, if you have Brian Hill, the options are pretty limited,

1062
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 3: and you know Devantae Freeman has a chance or turn

1063
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 3: this week, so that'll make the decision real easy. But

1064
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 3: you know, if Defonte Freeman's out this week, Brian Hill

1065
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 3: is the highest ranked player that you have available to

1066
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 3: put in your story lineup. Just do it, Danny mentioned earlier.

1067
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 3: I think the process itself was solid. He did see

1068
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 3: fifteen to seventeen touches. I believe he had that one

1069
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 3: yard touchdown called back, but the volume should be there.

1070
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 3: This is a brutal matchup for running backs against the Buccaneers,

1071
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 3: so you know, he'll probably lower my rankings this week,

1072
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,479
Speaker 3: but if you have him, you likely add him because

1073
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 3: you're desperate at running back or you had Devonte Freeman,

1074
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 3: so I mean, there's nothing you could do. You can't

1075
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 3: really trade them away for anything. And like I said,

1076
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 3: Devanta Freeman returns this week. It's pretty easy either bench

1077
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 3: him or drop him. But not many options to have

1078
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 3: with Brian Hill right now.

1079
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 2: All right, Raybond. Final question, This is from Hot Take

1080
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 2: time Machine. Great Twitter name. By the way, why is

1081
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 2: Miles Sanders so high in PPR? Is he just that

1082
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 2: high under the assumption that Jordan Howard is out?

1083
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 7: Uh?

1084
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 6: No, Actually, so he sees that high because his targets,

1085
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 6: his routes have been ticking up lately. If you look

1086
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 6: over the past six games, he's at right about eleven

1087
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 6: percent target chare. For the season, he's at about nine percent,

1088
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 6: so trending upward. I tend to wait that a little

1089
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 6: bit more, especially in a situation with the Eagles where

1090
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,879
Speaker 6: they're just they're really.

1091
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 5: Desperate for pass catchers at this point.

1092
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 6: I mean, we'll see if alshon Jeffery's back, but they

1093
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 6: don't have a lot of explosion, so I think that

1094
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 6: they'll continue to target Miles Sanders in the past game.

1095
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 2: All Right, That is it for the Twitter questions. That's
