1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: The most valuable commandity I know of his information.

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you agree on five dollars?

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: This is a ratalle.

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 2: Cowboy tackle kit. One man.

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: You're saying that humans need fantasy to make life bearable,

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: humans need fantasy to be human. My goodness, that was good.

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: I suppose the best, relentless, refusing to give up. All right,

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: hit that horn, very bless. What's up everybody, and welcome

Speaker 1: I can't wait.

Speaker 3: super excited for the super Bowl.

22
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's hop right into this DFS plate. The

23
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: one thing we really haven't talked about on any of

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: our pods yet obviously. If you want to hear more

25
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: and props, listen to the Action Network Propapalooza podcast on

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: the Action Network channel, where you can listen to the

27
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: Favorites podcast as well. We have a props episode with

28
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: Simon Hunter and Chad Millman and Stuck and I will

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: break down the game from a betting perspective on our

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: usual Action Network NFL podcast, which should be out early

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: Thursday morning.

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: But let's get into this DFS slate.

33
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: I we'll kind of go position by position and then

34
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: talk some kind of lineup strategy or stacking and things

35
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: like that. But we have Stafford, Joe Burrow, Stafford's two

36
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: hundred dollars more on DK. As far as the quarterbacks,

37
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: which one do you think is the better value?

38
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're I mean their price appropriately. I have Stafford,

39
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 3: you know, for one more projected point over Joe Burrows,

40
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: so I think, you know, Stafford's probably the better play.

41
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 3: I also think people are underestimating the chances of the

42
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: Rams having a trailing game script as you know, you

43
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: know the Rams are minus four minus four and a half.

44
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 3: I love the Bengals here, I'm only projecting them close.

45
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: You're like minus two and a half minus three, So

46
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: I think Stafford could get into a negative game script

47
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: and you know, have a big game here. So I

48
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: think you can't go wrong with either quarterback at you know,

49
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 3: ten point eight K or ten point six K. These

50
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 3: guys seem like, you know, no brainer plays for a lineup,

51
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: but you're probably not going to win a GPP just

52
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 3: by you know, playing Stafford and Cooper Cup. So it's

53
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: it's gonna be the rest of your lineup where I think,

54
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: you know, you're going to differentiate yourself. But you know,

55
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 3: both quarterbacks are excellent plays here. We'll get to it,

56
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: but both running games are kind of struggling, so I

57
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: think each team is going to have to rely on

58
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: their quarterback here.

59
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Stafford comes out tiny bit better in terms of

60
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: value in our Fantasy Labs pro models, and I think

61
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: that's the way to go. But it's it's so equal

62
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: that you're gonna have to you know, if you're building

63
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: more than one lineup, you're you're good. You're just gonna

64
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: have to play both of these guys because you know

65
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: they're a quarterbacks. It's the one game slate I think

66
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: Burrow has. You know, we've seen the massive ceiling. Now,

67
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: the one thing about this is the Rams are zone heavy,

68
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: and Burrow's in this passing offense.

69
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: They're great against zone.

70
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: They're still one of the better teams in the league

71
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: against zone coverage, but there's an absolute best against man

72
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: coverage team. So this may not be like a four

73
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: hundred and forty yard you know, ceiling or whatever.

74
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: Burrows.

75
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: I think he had a what do you have a

76
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: five hundred yard game? This might not be that kind

77
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: of ceiling for him. Yeah, but he's still projected yet

78
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: within a point of Stafford.

79
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: Are you boosting Stafford's rushing or receiving touchdown odds? After

80
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: our Favorites recording with Simon Hunter.

81
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I mean I was gonna get wait till

82
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: we got to the receivers.

83
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: But no, no, we might as well just talk about here.

84
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: So our boy Simon Hunter mentioned that, you know, in the.

85
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: Rams practices, he had somebody tell them that, you know,

86
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: since they acquired Beckham, they've been practicing kind of their

87
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: version of the Philly Special play with Beckham, you know,

88
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: throwing it to Stafford. And so I think that's a

89
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 2: really interesting, you know, kind of from a stacking perspective. Obviously,

90
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: people were going to stack those two anyway, But that

91
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 2: kind of lends some credence to maybe putting Stafford in

92
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: some of the captain spots because you could get you

93
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: might get a receiving touchdown, and you could always get

94
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 2: a quarterback sneak, you know, something else like that for six.

95
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: So in a one game slate, I think that was

96
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: interesting because usually you're not putting a quarterback unless it's

97
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 2: like a Kyler Murray or running quarterback, usually not putting

98
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 2: them in the captain spot. On a one game slate,

99
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: you're putting one of the receivers and doing it that way.

100
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: So I think that's interesting and would probably put Stafford

101
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 2: in a couple off lineup.

102
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to running.

103
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 2: Back and cam Akers to be sticks out as a

104
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: clear value sixty four hundred on DraftKings mix In's ninety six.

105
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 2: You have Michelle at five kp Rynd at two point

106
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 2: four K, Daryl Henderson who could be activated at at

107
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: one point six, and then Chris Evans at five hundred.

108
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: So what do you think of the kind of the

109
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: running back value on the board here?

110
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Mixing should be the top back.

111
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 3: I have him two and a half points higher than

112
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: cam Akers, But ninety six hundred is a bit too rich.

113
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: That's way too expensive for a game where like I said,

114
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's going to be effective running

115
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 3: the ball. He could you know, catch four or five

116
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: balls here and that will go a long way. But

117
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: I think, like you said, cam Akers at sixty four

118
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: hundred is the clearer value play, Sony, Michelle could mix in.

119
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: He mixed in, you know, for the NFC Championship game

120
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 3: because Acres got hurt, So I think Acres should be

121
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 3: good to go here. He's the clear value play. I

122
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: think the only reason you would take a guy like

123
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 3: Michelle or p Rian is due to, you know, the

124
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 3: chances of an in game injury. You know, we're not

125
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 3: going to root for that obviously, but Mixing or Acres

126
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 3: could get banged up early in the game and you know,

127
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: Michelle or p Uran could carry the rest of the way.

128
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: That's the only way I think those guys really, you know,

129
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: hit value.

130
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 3: So it's worth taking a flyer for Michelle or p

131
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 3: Ran just if you're making one hundred and fifty different lineups.

132
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: But I think just the pure value play has to

133
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: be cam Akers here.

134
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the.

135
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: Third best value in our Fantasy Labs pro models and

136
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: the top value at running back at sixty four hundred

137
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: because if you look at the props around the market,

138
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: and it's similar to our projections obviously as well is

139
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: cam Akers and Joe Mixon have a similar rush attempt

140
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 2: prop sixteen and a half. Juice is a little different

141
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 2: on both, but that just shows you how different and

142
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: how much value Acres has because Acres is just sixty

143
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: four hundred and mix it as ninety six and they

144
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: have a similar touch projection for this game.

145
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we have to remember camp Akers is miraculously

146
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: coming back from his torn achilles early in the offseason,

147
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: so you know, he's had a few games to sort

148
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: of shake off the rust.

149
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: So having this like bye week will only help.

150
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 3: So his you know, his projections in my model have

151
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 3: only been going up the longer he's played. So we

152
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 3: could get you know, a one hundred percent healthy Cam Akers,

153
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: and he's he's shown, you know, he was good in

154
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: college as a pass catching back, so he's shown that ability.

155
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: He could easily you know, get three to four catches here,

156
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: and you know, have have a similar projection to like

157
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: a Joe Mixon type.

158
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and especially if you know Higbee is not one

159
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: hundred percent. Yeah, you know, maybe they use blant Is

160
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: that that blocker if they need him, the extra pass

161
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: blocker Acres go out in a route. So yeah, I

162
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: like Acres. I think the yeah, the Hail Mary guy

163
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: for me would probably be Chris Evans because you can

164
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: stack him with the Bengals defense, special teams, maybe you

165
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: get a kick return touchdown. He's had a couple of

166
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: have explosive plays and big, you know kind of plays

167
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: on special teams, so you know, if he breaks one

168
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: one game slate, that could be the cheap code. So

169
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: he's He's kind of the guy I've talked about p

170
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: ran on you know, the Props episode, and like, I

171
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: just I think they kind of used up the plays

172
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: they had for him in that Kansas City game, So

173
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: I'm not expecting to see much of him.

174
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: And then yeah, Michelle is just kind of you know.

175
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: If Acres gets banged up again, obviously, but he's a

176
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: poor value just you know, from a numbers perspective, Do

177
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: we like any of those guys? You know, I mean

178
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: I guess both of them, you know, I whether you're

179
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 2: playing mixing or acres. You know, you could stack him

180
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: with one of the defenses too, you know, for that

181
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: kind of game script. So that's always something to keep

182
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: in mind. There's a correlation there between running back and defense.

183
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: Let's go to wide receiver. We got Cooper cup is

184
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: the most expensive, obviously at eleven point six, k D

185
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 2: mar Chase at ten point four, Odell Beckham at eight

186
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: point four, and then T Higgins at seven point six.

187
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: That sticks out a lot because I know you love T. Higgins,

188
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: you like the over on his receiving PROPA, you like

189
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: him for MVP as as do I. So that really

190
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: sticks out that Higgins is fourth the fourth highest priced

191
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: wide receiver.

192
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, and I think it was fifty four hundred.

193
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: I think it was T.

194
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: Higgins was stuck on fifty four hundred for weeks four

195
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: through ten, so I kept saying, I'm gonna keep playing him.

196
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 3: But you know, these salaries are adjusted for the one

197
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 3: game slate, but that's essentially what seventy six hundred is here.

198
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 3: He should be the third highest priced. I know you

199
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: mentioned Beckham could throw a touchdown here. Either way, Higgins

200
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 3: is the top value play. I've said it a bunch

201
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: of times this week, but love T Higgins at sixty

202
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: to one to win the MVP. You know, Jamar Chase,

203
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say he struggled, but he's you know, done

204
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 3: a lot better against man coverages here. So against a

205
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 3: team like the Rams that play heavy zone, this is

206
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: a spot typically where T. Higgins eats and you mentioned

207
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 3: you know c j Uzoma's gonna be banged up if

208
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 3: he does suit up, so he could be more of

209
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: a decoy that's gonna boost Higgins, you know, touchdown odds

210
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: in my model. So just there's too much to like

211
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: about T Higgins here to pass them at seventy six hundred,

212
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 3: still love him here. I think Cooper Cup even at

213
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: you know, eleven thousand, six hundred is worth it because

214
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 3: he's you know, seven full points above Jamar Chase and

215
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: my model. So if anything, Jamar Chase might be a fade,

216
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: I hate to say it. At you know, ten point

217
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: four k, I think he's gonna be pretty popular. But

218
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: this does seem like T Higgins spot.

219
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Cooper Cup number one value in our.

220
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: Fantasy webs models in the flex spot, not in a

221
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: captain spot. That it's funny and the captain spot, like

222
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: no one's of value, they're all negative.

223
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: But in the flex spot obviously.

224
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: But I think, yeah, I think he played Cup in

225
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: the captain spot as well, because he's that guy who,

226
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 2: you know, even if Stafford doesn't have a big game,

227
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: Cup can still have you know, one hundred plus yards.

228
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: And Higgins as well.

229
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: I mean, we saw Higgins get forty percent over forty

230
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 2: percent of burrows yardage in that championship game against the Chiefs,

231
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: and that's kind of why like him for MVP. You know,

232
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 2: if Chase and Burrow don't have a big game, but

233
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 2: the Bengals still managed to win the game, you hate

234
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: you looking at Higgins and probably Joe Mixon as the

235
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: two most likely guys.

236
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: Yep.

237
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: If you look at like Week twelve against Pittsburgh, you

238
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 3: know they won forty one to ten. Burrow only threw

239
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 3: for one to ninety with the touchdown, but Higgins had

240
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 3: you know, six catches for one hundred and fourteen yards

241
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 3: and a touchdown. Yeah, I think he could have gotten

242
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: MVP vote, but it probably would have been Mixing who

243
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 3: had one hundred and sixty five yards two touchdowns. But

244
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 3: there has been games this season where the Bengals have won,

245
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 3: and you know, Burrow and Chase has struggled, but you know,

246
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 3: mixing and Higgins sort of carried the loads, so that

247
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 3: that certainly could happen here.

248
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's kind of another and we can kind

249
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 2: of get into that lineup construction. I think that's an

250
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 2: interesting one is there's going to be so many Burrow

251
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: Chase stacks.

252
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: You know that that's kind of.

253
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: Cupp and Stafford are actually our top two values in

254
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: the model, so that's a great stack.

255
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: Obviously there'll be a ton of those.

256
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 2: But I think but beyond Cupp and Stafford, people are

257
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 2: going to say, Okay, Burrow and Chase and that not

258
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: that that's wrong. You know, that's been the highest upside

259
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: stack of the year in fantasy. But again, this is

260
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: a zone defense team. This is not a man team,

261
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: so you wouldn't necessarily expect that. So I think you

262
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 2: get a lot of leverage by fading both of those

263
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: guys in a good amount of lineups and just going

264
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: with stacks of It's not a true stack, but kind

265
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: of combination of mixing Higgins as your two Bengals, you

266
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 2: could potentially get all the Bengals touchdowns.

267
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 3: Really yeah, no, that situation. So, yeah, exactly, it's all

268
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 3: about leverage. Like is Burrow and Chase a great stack?

269
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely it is, But we're trying to get leverage here.

270
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: If you remember from the Pro Bowl, we were telling

271
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: you Palli's check and the defenses, and look what happened.

272
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: They'll scored touchdowns. So it's all just you know, about

273
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 3: getting creative again, setting a lineup that sort of tells

274
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: the story for the game. Each lineup should be correlated

275
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: with itself. So yeah, you know, I wouldn't fault you

276
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 3: if you had Burrow Chase stacks, but I think the

277
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 3: way to kind of get an edge on the field

278
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 3: is to sort of mix it up, and you know,

279
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 3: Higgins and guys like that is certainly the way to

280
00:12:59,000 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: do that.

281
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: Right. So let's talk about his third receivers reach team,

282
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: and we have spent some time on this, but I

283
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: think it's important because first of all, they're both very affordable.

284
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: You could fit both of them easily, Tyra Boyd at

285
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: fifty four hundred and Van Jefferson at fifty two hundred.

286
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: Jefferson has been kind of fading.

287
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: Boyd has been kind of fading, at least in the

288
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: stat category, you know, numbers wise, he's kind of a

289
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: ton of catches early in the game last week. I

290
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: know you're on his over I was too. Unfortunately that

291
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: was pretty much all he did. So I guess, first

292
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 2: of all, just any thoughts on what exactly is happening

293
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: with both of those guys, you know, Boyd and Jefferson, Like,

294
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: is it just kind of a you look at it

295
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: as more like randomness because both of them are on

296
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: the field like for over ninety percent of the dropback.

297
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, well, let's let's break it down just

298
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 3: that both players are like completely different.

299
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: I consider Boyd more of a high floor player.

300
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 3: But he really you know, he's been hitting his floor

301
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 3: every week for the past four games. I think, so

302
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 3: he's he's really hard to trust. You know, there's a

303
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 3: there's a chance he can get five catches for fifty

304
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 3: yards here, maybe a touchdown. He has been scoring touchdowns

305
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 3: of late, which has been pretty surprising. But yeah, it's

306
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: it's tough to make a case for him to be

307
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: like a slate breaker, but certainly it wouldn't surprise me

308
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 3: if Boyd has a good game. Whereas Van Jefferson, He's

309
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 3: he's the more high ceiling guy that people were probably overlooking.

310
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 3: Plus he's banged up, so you know, I think he

311
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 3: has that questional tag on DK which helps lower his

312
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 3: roster ship. So I think when it comes to pure upside,

313
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: Van Jefferson's probably the better play because certainly, you know,

314
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: he could catch an ad R touchdown any given play,

315
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 3: whereas that's not really Boyd's game. So I think for

316
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: this specific game, for one game slate, Van Jefferson is probably.

317
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: The guy that I target.

318
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 3: But you know, both guys are you know, over five k,

319
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: so they're a bit pricey. What do you think about

320
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: going way down to a guy like Ben Scaronic at

321
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: six hundred dollars? Who what sort of benefit if Jefferson

322
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: is unable to have his usual ninety percent rout's rund rate?

323
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 3: Scornic could you know, see twenty twenty five percent route

324
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 3: run and we saw Stafford target him on what a

325
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: thirty four yard touchdown pass or Scrink dropped it. But

326
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 3: certainly he has you know, a path that started breaking

327
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 3: the slate as well, And if you spend six hundred

328
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 3: dollars on him, you can pretty much get you know,

329
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 3: everyone else that you wanted in that lineup. So what

330
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: do you think about going like super cheap with a scornic.

331
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: Type if he had caught the touchdown.

332
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, if he caught the touchdown, his roster ship

333
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: would be through the roof.

334
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: Right yeah, but he still would be cheap. I mean, listen,

335
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 2: this is what I know about Sean mcviak. This dude

336
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: just doesn't play his backup, especially if he gave right.

337
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: Like so like the fact that Skoronic was on the field,

338
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 2: got a route, got a target, it was wide open,

339
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: and like they missed on the play.

340
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't be surprised if he's zero routes in

341
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: this game.

342
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: So like I don't, like I get your point. Like,

343
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: if you're making a hundred and fifty line up.

344
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: Sure exactly, you know, knock it out.

345
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: But like I think Jefferson, going back to Jefferson, I

346
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: think he really hit on something and it's like he

347
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 2: could catch a long touchdown that you know, he plays

348
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: ninety percent of snaps. He gets deep targets. Sometimes he

349
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: doesn't get targets for quarters on end, but you know

350
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: he can do that downfield thing. Now, let's say Jefferson

351
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 2: scores a long touchdown right now, that that's a whole

352
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: drive for the Rams that no one else can get

353
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: touchdowns Cooper Cup's the most expensive player on the slate,

354
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: Odell Beckham is more expensive than t Higgins.

355
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: So like, there's so much leverage from.

356
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: Rostering Jefferson because not only would you be getting probably

357
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: a more lowly rostered points than most of the field,

358
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: but you'd also be getting leverage on two of the

359
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: more expensive players, including the most expensive player on the

360
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: slate in Cup. So I think Jefferson's really key. I

361
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: mean it applies to Boyd, just to a lesser extent

362
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: because Chase is less than Cup, and you know, Higgins

363
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: is less than Beckham.

364
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: So it applies to Boyd as well.

365
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: But I agree, I think Boyd is more like likely

366
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: to get like, you know, five six catches, where's the

367
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: yards are gonna be hard to come by, whereas Jefferson

368
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: could get you know, one, two, three catches, but could

369
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: kind of approach one hundred yards if he gets one

370
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: good one. So I really like the leverage on Jefferson.

371
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: He's one of my favorite plays. But yeah, Scaronic, I

372
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: mean that's just more you know, sometimes he gets multiple

373
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: routes in the game. Sometimes he'll get like one in

374
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 2: the super Bowl after what happened. It's iffy, No, just

375
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: knowing mcmah. I mean you look at you know, you

376
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: do the routes projection just like I do, and you

377
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: know how you have to kind of go in Sometimes

378
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 2: if a guy doesn't get a target and manually enter

379
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 2: his routes, it's like the rams is usually nobody. It's

380
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 2: like the guys who play play and that's it. So

381
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: I maybe Trent Taylor because the interesting thing about him

382
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: was number one, he's gonna return punts, but number two,

383
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 2: he's the one that caught that two point conversion, so

384
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: that means they have goal line, red zone plays for him.

385
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: So I think he's actually my favorite. Like outside the

386
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: top six is tailor for the Bengals.

387
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 3: Definitely makes sense. And I wonder if scronis is his

388
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 3: routes run bumped up? It looked like Jefferson did play

389
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 3: his typical Yeah, but maybe the Higbee injury, did you know,

390
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 3: force them to maybe run more four riders.

391
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: I'll have to dig into it, but that's what it was.

392
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: It would have been.

393
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was because Blanton got an early touchdown. No, no,

394
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: not that was a lasting Blanton played a lot of snaps,

395
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 2: but they also did use some extra four wide you know,

396
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 2: because remember they were in a trailing game script, so

397
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 2: you know, if they go into a trailing game script

398
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 2: and Higby for some reason isn't active, then I was like,

399
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 2: if Higby's an active, I'd say Scronic is a much better.

400
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: But it looks like he's going to play.

401
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: So being that being said, it's like a true Hail

402
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 2: Mary Darthrow. So yeah, I prefer Evans your other options

403
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: just because it's the one game swait, so we should

404
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 2: cover every option. Your other options Brandon Powell who returns kicks,

405
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: and then you have for the Bengals, you have Mike Thomas,

406
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 2: who I mean it was Taylor who got that touchdown

407
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 2: at the two pointer. So I feel like Taylor is

408
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 2: still the better option than Thomas.

409
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: And this is a revenge game for Mike Thomas. It

410
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: is a.

411
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: Revenge game for Mike Thomas, that is true.

412
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: So he'll get one route this game. Gott to make

413
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: the most of it, hope.

414
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, and tight end, we talked about Higbee, Higby,

415
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 2: blaying Uzoma, and Sample are all priced similarly here, So

416
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: it just comes down to who plays. Like, if Higbee

417
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 2: and Zoma play, I think he kind of you don't

418
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 2: really worry about the backups.

419
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if they're playing, they're going to play.

420
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: If anything, you know, I think they might be a

421
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: little bit under rostered because of the question. You know,

422
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 2: they'll probably both be listened questionable right up to game time,

423
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 2: right right up to on the final injury report, I

424
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: should say, so, any preference between the two Higbee and Uzoma, No,

425
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 2: this is just a tough, tough situation right now.

426
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 3: I have Higbee leading all tight ends on the slate,

427
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: but it looks like he might not even practice this week.

428
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, both tight ends are dealing very similar injuries.

429
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 3: It was what a few weeks ago Higbee, it looked

430
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 3: like he had a serious leg injury, and then he

431
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 3: came in and caught a touchdown. Then he played off

432
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 3: of that. So he's played effectively through injury before. But

433
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 3: I know these MCL injuries, like if this was a

434
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 3: regular season game, these guys would miss you know, two

435
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 3: or three games. But they're going to put everything on

436
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: the line. It's a super Bowl. If they happen to

437
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 3: retweak it or something. They have all off season disorder recover.

438
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 3: So this is gonna be tricky to handle. You know,

439
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 3: we're gonna have to just monitor the news leading up

440
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 3: until lock. But I'm assuming both titan will be active,

441
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 3: and it's gonna be very murky. If anything, it's just

442
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 3: going to sort of raise the foreign ceiling of the receivers.

443
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 3: But this is a very very tricky situation. But yeah,

444
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 3: like all it takes is one of these guys to

445
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: be on the field in a red zone package and

446
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 3: catch a touchdown.

447
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: Like they don't.

448
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 3: Necessarily have to get fixed receptions for eighty yards to

449
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 3: hit at these low low prices.

450
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: So we'll have to take it up to lock.

451
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, this is going to be the most important

452
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 3: thing to throw a monitor heading up until a lout time.

453
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's how I would do it.

454
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I would pretty much fade them outside of

455
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: a line where I had the quarterback. And if I

456
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 2: did as a quarterback, and you know, I needed kind

457
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: of a guy to you know, finish the line up here,

458
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: you know, like a cheap guy, that's who I go with.

459
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 2: So if I had a Stafford lineup, maybe Stafford and

460
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 2: Cup and I needed a cheap guy to kind.

461
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: Of round it out. I go to Higbee.

462
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: If I had a Burrow, Higgins or Chase or whoever

463
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 2: both of them, maybe I throw Uzoma in there, so

464
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 2: that that's kind of how I went.

465
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 3: So, how so, let's say both tight ends are out.

466
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 3: I think Blanton would be a no brainer at forty

467
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 3: six hundred. We've seen him sort of step right into

468
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 3: that Higbee role. But Drew Sample I'll probably stay away from.

469
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 3: Even if the Zelma's out at forty two hundred. You know,

470
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 3: he seems like a two to three catch ceiling kind

471
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 3: of guy. I think they'll just kind of lean on,

472
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 3: you know, Higgins, Chase, and Boyd even more so, I

473
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 3: don't think Sample will be a play either way.

474
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: I mean I would definitely play him, you know in

475
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:42,719
Speaker 2: Burrow sprinkle it.

476
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, like we control him in but Blain plan will

477
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 3: be the much better play in that.

478
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yeah, the Bengals have had some trouble

479
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 2: with tight ends. But at the same time, you know,

480
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: it's the Super Bowl. I mean, if Zoma's out, that

481
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: just gives the Rams even more of a game plan

482
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: to you know, so shut down to three receivers. Sample

483
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 2: could just happen to be that guy that's open and

484
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 2: even if it's from like you know, three to five

485
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: yard gains, so you know, in like a trailing game

486
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: script lineup for the Bengals, a burrow stack something like that.

487
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely worth it.

488
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: And like you said it all it takes us a

489
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: touchdown and he'll be in the red zone packages either way,

490
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 2: so yeah, I mean, yeah, okay, And then any preference

491
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: on the two kickers. You have McPherson at four k

492
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 2: Gay at thirty eight hundred, I.

493
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: Mean the Rams are the favorite.

494
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 2: Gay has made two field goals and about seventy five

495
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: percent two plus field goals and seventy five percent of

496
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: his games. But I think McPherson is like the threat

497
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: for the longer field goals, So that's.

498
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: Who I like.

499
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 2: And I think because Gay is cheaper, he might be

500
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 2: more highly rostered. So I think it's McPherson for me.

501
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

502
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 3: Gay definitely has the higher floor, he has the higher

503
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 3: projection by a full point, and he's cheaper, so I

504
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: think his roster ship will be higher. But just I

505
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 3: love Evan McPherson and my dad's league that's been running

506
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: for thirty years now, my Fants Football league. You know,

507
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 3: he awards ridiculus scoring like fifteen points for fifty yard

508
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 3: field goals, ten points if it's a game winner. So

509
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 3: I took McPherson at the last pick of the draft there,

510
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 3: and I told my dad and brother watch out for

511
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: Ed McPherson this year. So I sort of love McPherson.

512
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 3: And yeah, he's he's shown that he can he can

513
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: boot it, so he's the best threat for you know,

514
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 3: long fifty yarders. So I think, honestly, like this, absolutely

515
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 3: it's worth rustering a guy like McPherson at four K.

516
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 3: Like you said, he's also in play for MVP. This

517
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 3: you know, could be a low scoring game where he

518
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 3: ends up with four or five field goals. So if

519
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: you do set a lineup with McPherson, you'd also sort

520
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 3: of want to pair him with the Bengals defense, right, Yeah.

521
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: I like that, you know, some.

522
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 2: Get to get the Bengals d in there, I think

523
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 2: the defenses, and then you could also get like a

524
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon in there.

525
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be kind of split it three to three.

526
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 2: But next up here on the Fantasy Flex is a

527
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 2: segment we call Elite Entries where Seawan and I dive

528
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: into the Prize Picks app and compare our player projections

529
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 2: to the props to build some entries. Start us off

530
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 2: with your first Prize Pick Weed entry for today.

531
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 3: So my first Elite entry is Cooper Cup longest reception

532
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 3: over twenty eight and a half yards. Actually it's his

533
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 3: longest play, so it could be a rush attempt, so

534
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 3: that's a nice little out. But you know, this has

535
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 3: been one of my favorite bets the past couple of weeks.

536
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 3: You know, I'm surprised we're getting value on at Cooper

537
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: Cup over, but I'm projecting him going over this sixty

538
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 3: four percent of the time, and in fact, he's gone

539
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 3: over this in seventy five percent of the games this year.

540
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 3: So I love the value we're getting here. And even

541
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 3: though he's not really a deep threat, you know he's

542
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 3: gonna get eight to ten catches here, so he has

543
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 3: a lot of bites at the apple, and he's so

544
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 3: good after the catch. You know, he averages six point

545
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 3: four yard after the catch, so he can.

546
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: Get it done in a variety of ways.

547
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 3: But you know, there's a reason why he's gone over

548
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: this number quite a bit this year. It's because he's

549
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 3: so good and he gets the volume, so love this.

550
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 3: You know we're getting over a sixty percent hit rate

551
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 3: on this, So Cooper Cup longest play over twenty eight

552
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 3: and a half yards is one of my favorite players

553
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 3: for the Super Bowl.

554
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 2: For my first I'm going Matthew Stafford under four and

555
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: a half rushing yards. I think there's a lot of

556
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 2: recency bias in this number because he's been over it

557
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: in each of the three postseason games. But you look

558
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: at the entire year, he's been at two yards or

559
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 2: fewer in thirteen of twenty games, or sixty five percent.

560
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: Cincinnati allowed the tenth fewest rushing yards to quarterbacks during

561
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: the regular season, and over fifty percent of them came

562
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 2: from just two quarterbacks, so mar Jackson and Justin Field.

563
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: So Matthew Stafford's a median.

564
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 2: This year has been a happy yard rushing so Stafford

565
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: could get a scramble for five six seven yards. The

566
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: rams are favored, so neil downs is still a possibility,

567
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 2: a very likely possibility for Stafford. So there's a lot

568
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: of ways for him to go under four and a half,

569
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 2: which again he's done sixty five percent of the time.

570
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 2: So that is my first prize pick Elite entry for

571
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 2: today Stafford under four and a half rushing yard chol

572
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 2: Where are you going with your.

573
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: Second prize Picklewed Entry?

574
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 3: So you know where I'm going with this. My favorite

575
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 3: punter prop and this is the only game all season

576
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 3: we get punter props. Is Kevin Huber longest gross punt

577
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 3: over fifty two and a half yards. There's nothing gross

578
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 3: about this, you know. I have a sixty two percent

579
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 3: hit rate according to my sims on this prop, and

580
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 3: he's got over this sixty five percent of the time

581
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 3: this year. So in a game where the market shows,

582
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 3: you know, his over runners three and a half punts,

583
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna get one where he's gonna launch it.

584
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 3: And one of my favorite things about this prop is

585
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 3: it correlates really with everything. So I'm gonna have this

586
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 3: in quite a few builds on prize picks. You know,

587
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 3: I would set this line closer to fifty four and

588
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 3: a half fifty five and a half, and every single

589
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 3: yard matters, so love getting it fifty two and a half.

590
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 3: I would take it up to fifty three and a

591
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 3: half before shopping, So get it fifty two and a

592
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 3: half while you can.

593
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: All right, for my second prize, pickawed entry.

594
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: I'm going with Cooper Cup over one hundred and one

595
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: and a half receiving yards. This correlates well with your

596
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: longest play over twenty eight and a half because that'll

597
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 2: probably come through the air. But Cooper Cup has had

598
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: one hundred and eight or more receiving yards in thirteen

599
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 2: of his twenty games sixty five percent, including two of

600
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: three postseason games the last two, by the way, which

601
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 2: he had one hundred and forty two and one hundred

602
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 2: and eighty three. But more importantly is just the season

603
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: long numbers, you know, one hundred and eight plus and

604
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: thirteen of twenty I have him around one hundred and ten,

605
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: So I think there's still a few yards on this

606
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: of value on this, And it also kind of correlates

607
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 2: with Stafford under rushing.

608
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: As well, because I think he's gonna be.

609
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 2: Able to stand in the pocket and Kupp is going

610
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 2: to be that guy that he's gonna have to rely

611
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: on as usual. So love Cooper Cup over one hundred

612
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 2: and one and a half receiving yards.

613
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: That is going to do it for our prize pick

614
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: a weight entry for today.

615
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: Tarrika Sewan is going with Cooper Cup longest reception over

616
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 2: twenty eight and a half yards and Kevin youber longest

617
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 2: punt over fifty two and a half yard. I'm going

618
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford under four and a half rushing yards and

619
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup over one hundred one and a half receiving yards.

620
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 2: As a reminder, price pick markets do move, so you

621
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: want to get on it best in order to lock

628
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 2: I guess we'll close out with who's your favorite stack

629
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 2: for the for the Rams and for the Bengals.

630
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: You know, for the Rams, we kind of mentioned it,

631
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 3: you know, Matthew Stafford a Cooper Cup is a little

632
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 3: bit too obvious. So I do love the leverage you

633
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 3: get with Matthew Stafford and Van Jefferson. I think that's

634
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 3: the best, you know, high ceiling stack you can make

635
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 3: on the slate because you know, my favorite stack for

636
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 3: the Bengal side is Joe Burrow and T Higgins. But

637
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 3: that's probably not fooling anybody. I'm sure there's gonna be

638
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 3: a lot of teams with that. It's all about mixing

639
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 3: and matching. But I just think the Stafford man Jefferson

640
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 3: stuck clearly gives you like the highest leverage against the field.

641
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, the same for me. It's Stafford Jefferson.

642
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 2: For the Rams, you could throw a cup in there,

643
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 2: so you could go Stafford cup Jefferson as a way

644
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 2: to kind of you're saving you save some salary with

645
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: Jefferson because those two guys are obviously expensive. And then

646
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: for the Bengals, yeah, it's Burrow, Higgins or Higgins and

647
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 2: mixing and you fade Burrow and Chase and Hope for

648
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 2: you know, those two guys kind of haveing the big games,

649
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: all right. That is going to wrap it up for
