Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into the episode.

44
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: We're going to look at the guys who right now

45
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: are popping on our pro models. We're going to think

46
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: about some players we might want to fade, some games

47
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: or teams we might be looking to stack, and then

48
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: we're going to make some pseudo bold predictions and picks

49
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 3: and prop bets. A thirteen game mainslate, so lots of

50
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: players to choose from. Let's start at the quarterback position,

51
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 3: and Renee, I would like to get your thoughts on

52
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: some of these quarterbacks right now. The quarterbacks who are

53
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: standing out in our models. There are our number, but

54
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: some of the guys who are specifically catching my eye.

55
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 3: Ben Roethlisberger on the road at Oakland. Oakland defense is

56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: just a train Cam Newton. You have Jameis Winston versus

57
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: New Orleans and what could be a very high scoring game,

58
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers going against Atlanta. Atlanta's defense has been problematic

59
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 3: all season long, first game without longtime head coach Mike McCarthy.

60
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: Do any of those guys catch your eye or is

61
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: there anyone else on this slate who kind of stands

62
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: out to you?

63
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 4: Yeah?

64
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 5: I think Roethlisberger is pretty obvious. I know that there

65
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 5: are people that still will never play him. On the road,

66
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 5: but I think against Oakland we can make all kinds

67
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 5: of exceptions to that rule. I love Winston, I'm a

68
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 5: big fan of just about everybody in that game.

69
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 4: No arguments with Cam Newton.

70
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 5: It's a little shocking to see Aaron Rodgers at the

71
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 5: price that he's at six K on DraftKings.

72
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 4: He's coming off a stretch of really.

73
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 5: Tough matchups, so I think this could be an interesting

74
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 5: bounce back week for him, and I think his ownership

75
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 5: will probably be pretty close to zero, Yeah, even in

76
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 5: the favorable matchup, just because he's been so bad. How

77
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy's firing affects him, I'm not really sure they've

78
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 5: been together forever. That is kind of another variable that

79
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 5: might make him a little bit less trustworthy of a play.

80
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 4: But I think he's a nice tournament option.

81
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and at least Philbin is still there as the

82
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 3: play caller, so there is some offensive continuity.

83
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: The play call line has been right.

84
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so maybe it's not a good thing that there's

85
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: some continuity there, Sean, So we're recording this on Tuesday,

86
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: early afternoon Pacific time, still in the morning for you.

87
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: The news has broken about James Connor being out. I'm

88
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: wondering how that has maybe impacted and obviously we'll talk

89
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 3: about running backs a little bit, but how that has

90
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 3: maybe impacted your projection of Roethlisberger in our models, and

91
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 3: then just that that game in general.

92
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: That's good news for a Big Ben. I elevated his

93
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: touchdown odds, although we could still see, you know, someone

94
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: like Steven Ridley or Jaylen Samuels take some goal line carries.

95
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: But I and it solidifies Big Ben as a multi

96
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: touchdown QB this week. But you know, I mentioned last

97
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: week that the Raiders have still only allowed one three

98
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: hundredard passer earlier. They held Mahomes to two hundred ninety

99
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: five yards last week, so I think it does hurt

100
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: his ceiling a bit. But you know, he's a lock

101
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: for multiple touchdowns right now. I'm targeting Jameis Winston. I

102
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: just think he's too cheap. This matchup against the Saints

103
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: is a great spot on both sides, so I'll probably

104
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: have a lot of Winston Patrick Mahomes. He's in a

105
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: tougher spot this week against the Ravens, but he's matchup proof.

106
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: He's at home and he's only seven k I don't

107
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: think he's expensive enough to fade by any means, so

108
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: I'll probably have a ton of mahomes as well.

109
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 3: You know, one thing, it's interesting. I mean we've talked

110
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 3: about this, you know, repeatedly, but the quarterback position, the

111
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 3: salary range is just like really truncated, Like there's not

112
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: much of a difference between the guys salaried at the

113
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: top and the guys.

114
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: In the middle, even kind of a little bit lower down.

115
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 2: You know.

116
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: It means that there can be like a lot of

117
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: different opinions on where to go. But Pete, I'm curious

118
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: about your thoughts of like how quarterback pricing fits in

119
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 3: with this slate and just kind of where you're looking

120
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 3: at quarterback right now.

121
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, So on DraftKings, I mean, they've really narrowed the

122
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 6: range of pricing from the quarterback position and you can

123
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 6: find more significant discounts on fan duel, which I think

124
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 6: is actually a more skillful thing, you know, on DraftKings,

125
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 6: I think it's smart. I mean, historically we were able

126
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 6: to pay down at quarterback and yield some profits, but

127
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 6: now with the narrow range of pricing, everyone's pretty you know,

128
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 6: I think in general, they're doing a good job with

129
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 6: matchups and pricing everyone relatively, and because of the efficiency

130
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 6: in the pricing, the narrow range of outcomes and the

131
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 6: narrow range of salaries, it's hard to gain a significant

132
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 6: edge in cash game. So really a lot of it

133
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 6: comes down to ownership for these tournaments, which is where

134
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 6: the majority of action shifting on DraftKings. So you know,

135
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 6: a week by week it's really figuring out the highest

136
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 6: ceiling plays, the ones that work best in terms of

137
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 6: correlation in the ownership. So this week, I think Mahomes

138
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 6: actually stands out quite a bit. You have to pay

139
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 6: all the way up to him, and he's going against

140
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 6: the best defense in Baltimore, and Baltimore, you know, just

141
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 6: shut down Atlanta in Atlanta, which is very strong. But

142
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 6: I think this Chiefs offense can win against any defense,

143
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 6: and I think Mahomes will come in super low owned.

144
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: I think people are going to be attracted.

145
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 6: To Jamis who's currently at the top of my model,

146
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 6: Ben Roethlisberger, who I think is also a great play

147
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 6: you know, Cam Newton, Drew Brees, etc. And I don't

148
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 6: think people will be paying up for Mahomes. But yeah,

149
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 6: in terms of just straight equity, right, now I think

150
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 6: it's jamis for me, but it's certainly close given the pricing.

151
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk a little bit about running back

152
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 3: and last week the story of the slate was clearly

153
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: spencer ware as a kind of you know, like must

154
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 3: plug and play in the wake of the Kareem Hunt

155
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: suspension and release. I don't think we're going to have

156
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: exactly the same thing this week with Jalen Samuels or

157
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 3: Stephen Ridley, but there is this dynamic of once again

158
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: we have a running back that people really count on

159
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 3: who is no longer on the slate, and there are

160
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: questions about how that impacts Renee early in the week.

161
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: So obviously there's a lot of news that could still

162
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: break on this. But how are you approaching the absence

163
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: of James Connor and what that might mean for Jalen

164
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: Samuels or Stephen Ridley.

165
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 5: I think some people might actually not buy Samuels this

166
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: week the way they bought where last week, because we're

167
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 5: really relative to expectations.

168
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 4: I think was a little bit of a disappointment.

169
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 5: Not terrible for the price, but relative to people thought

170
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 5: you would step right into a thirty fantasy point role

171
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 5: in that matchup and on that offense and didn't, So

172
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 5: there might be a little bit more hesitation with Samuels

173
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 5: this week.

174
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 4: I think he's probably worth the money. I mean the money.

175
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 5: The salary is so low, depending what else you decide

176
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 5: to do. I'm a fan of paying up for Alvin

177
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 5: Kamara this week at running back. So when you're doing

178
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 5: that kind of play, it makes sense to balance it

179
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 5: with a cheaper guy, and I think he's going to

180
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 5: have a decent role.

181
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you mentioned Kamar. There definitely someone who's popping

182
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 3: in our models. A few of the other guys popping,

183
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 3: Philip Lindsay, Kenyan Drake, Jeff Wilson, even those latter three

184
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 3: guys are all on the cheaper side. Philip Lindsay is

185
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: someone who has seen his price escalate or elevate over

186
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: the last couple of months. Do you have any thoughts

187
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: on him.

188
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 4: I think it's deserved.

189
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 5: He's backing it up. His yards per carry is insane.

190
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 5: It doesn't look fluky anymore at this point. He's getting

191
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 5: enough opportunities. He seems fully healthy. It's the offense is

192
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 5: balanced enough. It just seems like the right fit for

193
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 5: him in his skill set, and so I don't see

194
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 5: it really going anywhere. I think he's still a fine

195
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 5: value even as his price rises. In Drake though seven

196
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 5: carries last week, the workload is so low p Why

197
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 5: did the models like him so much?

198
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: Just price Sean? Why why do models like him?

199
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 1: The game flow? You know they're they're playing the Patriots,

200
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 1: So this matchup sets up better for Drake and come

201
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: back mode. They'll dink and dunk to him, and this

202
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: is this is for DK scoring. So with the full

203
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: point PPR, Drake gets a little bit of a boost

204
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: and he's only forty five hundred. But I'm probably not

205
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: gonna be targeting Drake specifically. There's just too much value.

206
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: With Samuels we mentioned and Jeff Wilson. I love Jeff

207
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: Wilson this week. Matt Britta has already been ruled out,

208
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: and with Jeff Wilson we have a little less it's

209
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: less of a leap of faith as Jalen Samuels. We

210
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: already saw how the forty nine ers intend on using

211
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: Wilson with Brita out, and he had eight receptions last week,

212
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: so he's gonna be heavily involved in the passing game.

213
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: Probably a lock for ten plus carries. So I just

214
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: like Jeff Wilson a lot more than Samuels, but I'm

215
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: gonna have a ton of exposure to both. I think

216
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: you know that they allow you to spend up at

217
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: all the other positions, so I think they're they're pretty

218
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: much free squares.

219
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 3: This week, can talk a little bit more about the

220
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 3: projection split first between Jeff Samuel and Steven Ridley.

221
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm still working on that. Who knows at this point. Yeah,

222
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: Samuels is definitely going to be the past catching back,

223
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: so we're definitely gonna want him on DK Ridley. He

224
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: might get one catch if you're lucky, but with Ridley

225
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: you're definitely relying on touchdowns. Samuels probably has a higher

226
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: ceiling than Wilson. You know, Samuels is on a better

227
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: offense and they're playing the Raiders, so there's gonna be

228
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: more touchdown acuity there. I could see really being more

229
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: of a leverage play off the Samuels. Like I said earlier,

230
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: if he gets a couple of goal line touchdowns, he'll

231
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: probably be under owned. I think most people will be

232
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: on Samuels, and they're correct in doing that.

233
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: Any other thoughts on any of the other backs in

234
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: the slate, Guys who stand out to you. Alvin Kamara

235
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 3: obviously someone who's at the top of our models.

236
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: That's deservedly so that's a smash spot for Kamara at

237
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Price has come down a little bit. He's

238
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: struggled the past couplex. I think it's two scoreless games

239
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: in a row now, so I think he's gonna bounce

240
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: back in a big way. So he's definitely the running

241
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: back I'm targeting on the expensive side.

242
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, Pete. Any thoughts here, Yeah, a lot of thoughts.

243
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 6: I mean, obviously values just completely changed the slate. You know,

244
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 6: Jalen Samlin's like we just talked about Jeffrey Wilson. I

245
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 6: think Samuels is clearly the guy. Given his past catching role.

246
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 6: He was a tight end in college. I think he'll

247
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 6: be leveraged more. But do you think Ridley has nice

248
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 6: touchdown upside and shown may good point that he's probably

249
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 6: just a leverage play. Yeah, Kamara, I mean I'm jamming

250
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 6: him in no matter what. Do you think Austin Eckler

251
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 6: is really really nice as well. I'm getting to Philip Lindsay.

252
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 6: I mean, he's right behind safe one Barkley and rushing yards.

253
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 6: I tweeted this out or retweeted something I think is interesting.

254
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 6: I mean, everyone knows that he's been really efficient from

255
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 6: yards per carry standpoint, but his overall rushing yards are

256
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 6: really starting to climb. So he's right behind Sakwe Barkley

257
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 6: and rushing yards on forty one fewer carries. Obviously, sat

258
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 6: Funds had more success in the passing game, and he

259
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 6: is running behind a really bad offensive line. But Lindsay's

260
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 6: for real, and I think he's a nice pivot play.

261
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: Again.

262
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 6: The only other running back I think is really interesting

263
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 6: is Aaron Jones. You know a lot of these guys

264
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 6: are at least a couple of who will be under

265
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,599
Speaker 6: own given the supreme value we have with Samuels and

266
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 6: Wilson and Aaron Jones against Atlanta. I mean, that's been

267
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 6: a huge flowchart guy all year. He got lucky to

268
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 6: score a touchdown last week in a pitiful game, but

269
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 6: running back is absolutely stacked this week. And I think

270
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 6: there's a lot of nice pivots with high equity and

271
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 6: tournaments as well.

272
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and p to your point, Matt, Philip Lindsay. Next

273
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 3: Gen Stats tracks what they call efficiency but basically a

274
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 3: runners north to south ability and how quickly or how

275
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 3: efficient he is as a north south runner. And no surprise,

276
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 3: Lindsay is number one in the league in that category.

277
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: He just he gets through the line of scrimmage so

278
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: quickly and.

279
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 6: Seventeen fury yards and Barkley rushing on fort you I

280
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 6: fuer carries.

281
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Vance Joseph was on the record yesterday

282
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: saying they need to get him more carries. So that's always.

283
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 3: Good, Yeah, which is impressive for a guy who is

284
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 3: his size like it will be exciting to see how

285
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: long this goes and if he actually really becomes the

286
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: long term lead back there, that would be exciting.

287
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the wide receivers. So if there's this.

288
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: Ability at running back to pay down with Jeff Wilson

289
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: and Jalen Samuels, then it seems as if there's a

290
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 3: pretty big opportunity to pay up at wide receiver. And

291
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: so I'm wondering if that is kind of the construction

292
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: that people are going to go with in what that

293
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: might mean for tournaments and how people look to leverage that.

294
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 3: But fornee in our models right now, Michael Thomas, Odell

295
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: Beckham and Julio Jones. Those are kind of the expensive

296
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: guys who are popping, and then players who are a

297
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 3: little bit cheaper Keenan, Allen Maynolds, Sanders, Curtis Samuel Any

298
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 3: thoughts on those guys or really any of the other receivers.

299
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 5: On the Yeah, well, obviously, I think Michael Thomas is

300
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 5: as safe as as you'll get a wide receiver this week.

301
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 5: And you're right, the value at running back completely enables that.

302
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 5: It's kind of the it's kind of the opposite of

303
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 5: the way a lot of successful lineup construction has gone

304
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 5: this season where you want to pay up at running

305
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 5: back and.

306
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 4: There's a ton of cheap wide receiver.

307
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 5: Value that really bottomed out last week unless you're on

308
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 5: the bills, of course. But no, I have no problems

309
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 5: with Julio Jones or Odell Beckham. I mean high target volume,

310
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 5: same with DeAndre Hopkins. I think someone that stands out

311
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 5: that your models didn't generate is Amari Cooper. I think

312
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 5: he's in an interesting spot both a really affordable price range,

313
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 5: great matchup, and really seems to be integrated into the

314
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 5: Cowboys offense.

315
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting about Amori Pete's over there, just silent.

316
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 2: Pete.

317
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 3: It looks like you're you're living now in a different

318
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 3: house because you had to move because of Amari losses. Anyway,

319
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: Amari Cooper in our models I am curious about. So

320
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: we have a decent sample now, I believe of four

321
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 3: games of seeing him in this offense, how projectable do

322
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: you think he is moving forward?

323
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: And how like?

324
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 3: How how confident do you feel in what we've seen

325
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: so far and what that means for his future.

326
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: I've always been saying I think I definitely underestimated how

327
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: good that trade was for him. They were just so

328
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: a thinner receiver that they're they're definitely game playing to

329
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: get him the ball. So I do like him. This week,

330
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: it's a great matchup against the Eagles, who you know,

331
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: have a banged up secondary. He's still he's you know,

332
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: a little bit expensive now, so I think that the

333
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: price is about right at sixty six hundred. I rather

334
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: load up on guys like Keenan Allen and DeAndre Hopkins

335
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: this week. Like you mentioned, there's there's so much value

336
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: at running back that I'm definitely more able to fit

337
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: in two stud receivers. So Cooper's just kind of lost

338
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: sort of in the middle there. For me, it's still

339
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: early in the weeks, so anything can change. But you know,

340
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: I love Keenan Allen at home against the Bengals. It's

341
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: just a great spot. He's he's pretty cheap and DeAndre Hopkins.

342
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: I think this is a smash spot for him. The

343
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: Colts haven't allowed one hundred yard receiver since Week four,

344
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: and it was Hopkins himself. He went ten catches for

345
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty nine yards and a touchdown, So

346
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: you know, I could see a huge game from him

347
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: this weekend. He's only seventy eight hundred as of right now,

348
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: so he'll still be that price comes Sunday, but my

349
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: projections for him will probably slowly creep up.

350
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Pete, besides the obvious rost ring of Amari, who

351
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 3: else are you playing it on?

352
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: Rostering a wide receiver?

353
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's not obvious on a Mari.

354
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, he's just been self frustrating, But yeah,

355
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 6: I agree with her name.

356
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a great spot.

357
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 6: When I was building some teams, he really stood out

358
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 6: and I'd grown thinking about all the my I'm gonna

359
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 6: lose this week either way if I don't play him enough.

360
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 6: He'll go off and I do play him too much,

361
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 6: He'll he'll be terrible.

362
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: I love Keenan Allen. I've been rostering him all year.

363
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 6: That really paid dividends last week, and all the slate too,

364
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 6: is included. She's just been getting a ton of volume

365
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 6: ever since he can played. After that London game, They've

366
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 6: been feeding him and you just watch the tape. I mean,

367
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 6: obviously the Steelers made mistakes having linebackers on him a lot,

368
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 6: but his elusiveness and quickness to just get open, either

369
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 6: you know, short down the field or you know, on

370
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 6: longer routes is incredible. So I'm gonna have a lot

371
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 6: of Keenan Allen, love Hopkins, love Emmanuel Sanders, Michael Thomas,

372
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 6: and you can fit a lot of these guys. So

373
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 6: it's a week where I'm definitely spending up at receiver,

374
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 6: giving the running back value. And yeah, I think Michael

375
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 6: Thomas is gonna be my number one for Sherlock given

376
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 6: the safety. Keenan Allen's probably two, and then the DeAndre Hopkins,

377
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 6: and there's lineups where you can fit all three.

378
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: I do love a Mari.

379
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 6: I do love Emmanuel Sanders as kind of the mid

380
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 6: tier place, But yeah, it's a stacked week and the

381
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 6: other one I should mention, especially if we get the

382
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 6: news on the Sean Jackson if he's out again. Godwin

383
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 6: to me is another elite play. Secondary receivers have just

384
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 6: crushed the Saints Humphreys obviously is a nice play as well.

385
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really like that and that is definitely something

386
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: to to keep an eye on.

387
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: Tight end.

388
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 3: In our models, we have the you know, the big three,

389
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey, zach Or, it's Robert Ronkowski. Uh and then

390
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 3: on the cheap side, Christopher Herndon, who's been a pleasant

391
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 3: surprise uh this year as someone who you know went

392
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: underdrafted as a a fifth round rookie, but has you know,

393
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 3: consistently gotten target volume there even if he hasn't done

394
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 3: a lot with it in the Jets offense, he's you

395
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 3: know done I think what any reasonable person would expect

396
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 3: someone to be able to do within that offense.

397
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 2: Uh.

398
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 3: So I'm curious, for nay, is this a week given

399
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 3: the value we have a running back? Is this a

400
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 3: week where we are looking to pay up at time end?

401
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 3: Or are you thinking you might go cheaper?

402
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 5: This is a year that I wish we didn't have

403
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 5: to play a tight end most weeks, so tight end

404
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 5: is not my favorite position to think about. I don't

405
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 5: know that you have to go as cheap as as Herndon.

406
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 5: You know, when you see Jets Bills, that's going to

407
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 5: be a low scoring game. No one would be shocked

408
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 5: by a ten six or worst score at the end

409
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 5: of four quarters.

410
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 4: So I don't know.

411
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 5: There might be some target values, some reception value with Herndon,

412
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 5: but I don't think there's a lot of touchdown upside there.

413
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 5: Going back to you know, when we were talking about

414
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers and this being of bounced back spot for him.

415
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 5: Jimmy Graham is still seeing a ton of targets and

416
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 5: he had eleven last week. It didn't really pan out

417
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 5: well in the in the final stat line, but I

418
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 5: think he's a nice kind of mid range tight end.

419
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 5: I'll probably end up somewhere around there, maybe Hooper, maybe

420
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 5: Vance McDonald. With the expensive guys, I mean, they're they're

421
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 5: just like, if you have the money.

422
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 3: Sure Sean out of those expensive guys, how are you

423
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 3: prioritizing them?

424
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you know, if you want to take Herndon

425
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: and enjoy your three catches for forty yards and zero touchdowns.

426
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have Travis Kelcey. I love Kelsey this week.

427
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm not scared of the Ravens matchup that they're pretty

428
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: vulnerable to tight ends and Kelsey's matchup proof anyway, so

429
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't even matter. But you know, I forgot to

430
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: mention that wide receiver Curtis Samuel at four K as well,

431
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: all this value at running back and you know receiver,

432
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: I think it's a no brainer spend up on tight

433
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: end this week. I'm not gonna mess with the lower

434
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: price guys like I usually do. And then the other

435
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: guy that's, you know, a little too cheap is Gronkowski

436
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: at forty eight hundred. Getting Gronk at that price is

437
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: pretty tempting. So for me, it'll be a ton of

438
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: Kelsey with some Gronk sprinkled.

439
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 6: In with John Completely. I think that this is a

440
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 6: week where I probably want to spend up. Herndon is

441
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 6: ranking high in the model. I'm not going to play

442
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 6: too much of him. It's going to be a mix

443
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 6: of Kelsey, Gronk, Inerts, maybe some Cameron braid On, some

444
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 6: Jamis Stacks, But those three guys, I think you want

445
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 6: to prioritize in a big way. Dallas does have fast linebackers,

446
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 6: and he's been doing a good job against tight ends.

447
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 6: But Ertz is I think somewhat matchup proof. And I

448
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 6: agree on the price on Gronkowski although he doesn't look right.

449
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 6: I mean he was hobbling around last week. He's got

450
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 6: just all sorts of entries across the board, so that's

451
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 6: the concern. But I'll take the price savings and hope

452
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 6: he pops into the end zone. Safest play for sure.

453
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 6: As Kelsey sean random question shooting from the hip set

454
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 6: odds on whether this is Gronkowski's last year Yes, plus

455
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 6: two hundred, no, minus three hundred, pete, how would you

456
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 6: bet that?

457
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: Uh? We have to think about So those are good odds.

458
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: I guess yeah.

459
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 6: I mean, man renee, he's got to start really revaluing

460
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 6: his body, and I think it depends like if the

461
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 6: Patriots in the super Bowl, that.

462
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: Probably makes it more likely to retire. Yeah, I would take.

463
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 6: You think that he plays another year, you get you

464
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 6: have to lay minus three hundred. That's why I'm thinking

465
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 6: about it exactly exactly. Yeah, Yeah, I'll take I'll take that. Uh,

466
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 6: he he doesn't retire still, but that's a good line.

467
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, Renee, I'll take that he retires because I think

468
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 5: he should.

469
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 3: Yes, and people always do what they should. Yeah, Okay,

470
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 3: let's talk about either expensive players or players you think

471
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: might be popular that you would be comfortable fading. Obviously,

472
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 3: it's early in the week, so this is kind of

473
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 3: a tougher question. But Renee, anyone on the kind of

474
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 3: expensive end who catches your eye, someone you think like,

475
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: you know what, I would be like, totally fine just

476
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 3: staying away from that person this week.

477
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 5: I think Tyreek Hill kind of fits that bill. I

478
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 5: think he can disappear at times and this isn't a

479
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 5: good matchup. He's one I probably will have I don't know,

480
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 5: maybe not no exposure too, but one that i'd be

481
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 5: okay fading.

482
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 4: I guess maybe i'd even put Julio Jones in that category.

483
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 5: I know earlier I said I don't really have a

484
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 5: problem with him, but the way that Atlanta's offense has.

485
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 4: Looked the past few weeks, it's a little skimpy.

486
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 5: So yeah, Julio is probably another one that I would

487
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 5: be okay with not having any exposure to. I'm close

488
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 5: on saying that about Mike Evans, but I think it's

489
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 5: got to get better at.

490
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 3: Some point, Sean, what about you? Anyone catch your eyes

491
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 3: someone you want to avoid?

492
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: So I don't want to avoid him. I'm not comfortable

493
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: fading him. I don't have one bad thing to say

494
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: about him. But Philip Lindsay just to pivot to Austin Eckler,

495
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: who I think people might avoid too much this week.

496
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: This this is the second game where he's disappointed when

497
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon's out. Justin Jackson looked really good. So I

498
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: think people are gonna avoid Eckler. I mean he's the

499
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: same price as Lindsay, so I think Lindsay's gonna eat

500
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: up most of the ownership at the sixty three hundred range.

501
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: You know, Eckler is the kind of guy. He's at

502
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: home against the Bengals. He doesn't need that many touches

503
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: to go off, and he seems like a lock for

504
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty if Melvin Gordon misses again. So he

505
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: has massive upset that price. You know, it's more of

506
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: a pivot play than you know, me thinking that Lindsay

507
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: has any you know, negative thing I can pick on.

508
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: This is more of just a leverage play.

509
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna play Michael Thomas in cash every single

510
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 6: place I can, but there's definitely scenarios where the running

511
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 6: backs just go Ham Kamara and Ingram and the same thing.

512
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 6: I mean, he's literally the top guy I'm going jam

513
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 6: into cash games. But as a leverage play, I don't

514
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 6: mind fading him and going to any of these top

515
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 6: end guys. You already talked about Hopkins and Allen. Probably

516
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 6: get a little more leverage on someone like de Monte Adams,

517
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 6: who after the coach firing I think could be really nice.

518
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 6: You can make a case for Julio in that same game,

519
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 6: who just played a terrible games, the worst game of

520
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 6: the season for Baltimore. I do think you can get

521
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 6: some nice leverage there. I'm done, guys. I want to

522
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 6: fade for sure, just given how bad I've been a doing.

523
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: That all season.

524
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 6: Christ McCaffer two weeks ago in particular, who ended up

525
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 6: playing a lot of But yeah, there's some good leverage

526
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 6: this week for sure.

527
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you're you're not the guy who wrote an

528
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 3: article talk about how Antonio Brown is falling off a

529
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 3: cliff and then had him go off for like the

530
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 3: best game of his season.

531
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 2: So at least you're not that guy good.

532
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 6: Buddy Borders Road Wilson one has ever, Yeah, he's really

533
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 6: started coming after us in the Action Network and that

534
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 6: you were at the next Victium in line after the

535
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 6: Antonio Brown It's fine.

536
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 3: I still feel I'm on the right side of it

537
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: even after that game. Let's talk about some of these

538
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 3: teams or some of the games we might be looking

539
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 3: to stack. So the games that are standing out in

540
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 3: our live odds page at the Action Network, Saint Hip

541
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 3: Box obviously highest total game on the late fifty six points,

542
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 3: Ravens at Chiefs fifty three points, Steelers or Raiders fifty

543
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 3: one and a half points. All of those are games

544
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 3: that we've touched on in some capacity. Are there any

545
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 3: games other than those, any kind of non obvious games

546
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 3: that stand out? Is once that you think have a

547
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 3: potential to shoot out? Maybe has a team that you

548
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 3: would be looking to stack Renee.

549
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 6: I think I.

550
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 4: Think one that's pretty interesting is Caroline Cleveland.

551
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 5: We haven't talked about the Browns at all, but I

552
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 5: think they're kind of a sneaky, a sneaky stack.

553
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 4: Caroline has been a team that you can throw on.

554
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 5: We saw Landry finally kind of get back on track

555
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 5: last week.

556
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 4: Higg Inside a decent game, so I think that.

557
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 5: The Browns could be a somewhat of a sneaky team

558
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,239
Speaker 5: to stack, but overall, I think that game is going

559
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 5: to be productive for fantasy.

560
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 4: It's relatively high scoring. I think forty seven is the

561
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 4: line and really narrow spread.

562
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 2: Sean, what do you think? Yeah?

563
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: I love that call. That a game I was targeting

564
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: as a sneaky stack stackable game as well. I think

565
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, the Saints Buccaneers game is the most obvious

566
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: game stack there is, so don't need to go in

567
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: depth on that one, but I think you know the

568
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: the underlying game that I think could have the most

569
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: shootout potential as the Falcons Packers. I actually have the

570
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: line for this game, the total being closer to fifty two,

571
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: so I'm not sure why it's at forty in right now,

572
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: but I think it's gonna it's gonna sneak up by Sunday.

573
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: Both teams basically have nothing to play for very disappointing seasons,

574
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 1: so I don't see why they just don't air it

575
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: out and you know, sort of vent their frustration by

576
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: just going Ham and airing it out there. There's really

577
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: no reason for either team to hold back here. So

578
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: I love this game as a sneaky potential shootout. And

579
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: you know there's plenty of stacking options on both sides here.

580
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 2: Pete, what do you think?

581
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.

582
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 6: I think both those games are are really enticing in general.

583
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 6: This week could be really good game stack week. The

584
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 6: Kansas City Ravens game also has a high total, mostly

585
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 6: because of the Chiefs. We'll see what happens with the Ravens,

586
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 6: but I could see Lamar Jackson then a lot of

587
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 6: these Chiefs being a pretty nice play. The game that

588
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,479
Speaker 6: I think is sneaky, that I think has more upside

589
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 6: than people realizing the totals already starting to come up

590
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 6: is the Broncos at forty nine Ers game. The Broncos

591
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 6: just lost their second best defender or maybe arguably their

592
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 6: best defender and Chris Harris to a broken leg, which

593
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 6: is just brutal given how well they're playing now. And

594
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 6: San Francisco has been all right. I mean, Mullins is

595
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 6: definitely not a great quarterback, but at home beginning, Marquis

596
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 6: Goodwin back from the personal reason issue that he was having,

597
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 6: and the Broncos offense. We already talked about Philip Lindsay,

598
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,239
Speaker 6: Courtland Sutton finally had his big game that I've been

599
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 6: waiting for all year. Manuel Sanders is in a good place,

600
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 6: so I could see this game being a sneaky shootout

601
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 6: that is gonna be really low owned outside of Wilson

602
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 6: and Lindsay. So if you attack the passing game here,

603
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 6: I think you had some pretty nice ownership.

604
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 3: Interesting, let's get to the sort of pseudo bold call

605
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 3: your non obvious pick. I need to come up with

606
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 3: the actual title of what we're doing with this section.

607
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 3: But one pick one situation you like, uh for a game,

608
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 3: and then one for fantasy and Renee, let's start with you.

609
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 4: I'll revisit Amari Cooper. I don't know how.

610
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 3: That's bold.

611
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 5: I'll take gallup because I think he's he's just trending upwards. Also,

612
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 5: so Dallas pass catcher, how about that vagueeness.

613
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good.

614
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 4: That's good one game situation.

615
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 5: There's a few things, a few lines that surprised me

616
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 5: a little bit this week. I'll take stick with Dallas

617
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 5: and I'll take Philly and Dallas over.

618
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 4: But I think the Eagles win.

619
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 6: On the road.

620
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: Uh huh, Sean, what do you think what you got.

621
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: For real life? I already touched on it. But this

622
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: Hackers Falcons game will go over sixty points. I would

623
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: definitely take the forty nine while you still can. I

624
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: know it's getting pounded, but I just don't see how

625
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: the osmakers don't push this over fifty again. With teams

626
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: with nothing to play for, usually that favors the offense

627
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: as the defense can let up a little bit. And

628
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: I already looked at the weather report. It should be

629
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: freezing ass cold, but no snow showers or anything in

630
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: the forecast, so I think it should be a pretty

631
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,959
Speaker 1: clean weather game at Lambeau And for DFS, Austin Eckler

632
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: will be a top five running back on the main

633
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: slate and I'm not even gonna throw on the caveat

634
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: that Melvin Gordon has to sit because with Eckler it

635
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: just doesn't really matter. He tends to have his biggest

636
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: games when Gordon's in. So but you know, I love

637
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: it again Earlier I mentioned I love Echo this week.

638
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: If Melvin Gordon's out, he has a ton of upside.

639
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: And at sixty two hundred, you know, decent price this week.

640
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Sean, I'm looking at a right now and

641
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 3: to the line his move to forty eight and a half,

642
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 3: so all the more Incidsei to jump on it.

643
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's going down. Yeah, it's weird that's hovering there.

644
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: I think it'll it'll end up breaking fifty come Sunday.

645
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Pete, what do you got?

646
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 1: I'll stick with everything.

647
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 6: I mean, I already called I think this game has

648
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 6: sneaky shootout potential. It's my Broncos. I'll say the Broncos

649
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 6: win by two touchdowns. Portland Sutton catches two touchdowns and

650
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 6: the total goes over fifty five points. So all the

651
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 6: bias all my guys, and I hope Marky's goodwin also

652
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 6: has a really big game.

653
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 3: Nice Okay for the game, the Chiefs opened his nine

654
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 3: point favorites. This spread his drop to six and a half,

655
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 3: even though they've gotten sixty five percent of the tickets

656
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 3: and sixty two percent of the money. So there's some

657
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 3: pretty significant reverse line movement through the key number seven

658
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 3: in favor of the Ravens.

659
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 2: And I mean, I don't know, I don't know.

660
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 3: If this actually happens, but I'll be bold and say

661
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 3: like they get the outright win. Like I think the

662
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 3: Chiefs are vulnerable enough on defense, especially on the ground,

663
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 3: and I think the Ravens will just like run run

664
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 3: run with Lamar Jackson and his cadre of backs, look

665
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 3: to control the clock. And then on defense, you know,

666
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 3: I think they're strong enough in DVOA and maybe they

667
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: get some you know, lucky turnovers, but they're you know,

668
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 3: they're pretty strong against the run and the pass. And

669
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 3: then the Chiefs have a big game in week fifteen

670
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 3: on Thursday nine Football against the Chargers, so this could

671
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 3: be a look ahead spot against a non divisional opponent

672
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 3: that they kind of underestimate. And then for fantasy, I'm

673
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 3: going with Jalen Samuels. Like him a lot versus tyle

674
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 3: skill set used all over the formation in North Carolina State,

675
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 3: half back, full back, in line, tight end, slot receiver.

676
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 3: You know, he has lead back size, underrated athleticism for

677
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 3: his size. I think he's the most talented player in

678
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 3: the backfield with Connor out, and maybe even with Connor in.

679
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 3: I don't want to really say that, but anyway, so

680
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 3: I like his matchup. I think he gets into the

681
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 3: end zone twice, so that will be my prediction. I

682
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 3: might say away from his yardage props, but I like

683
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 3: his touchdown chances, which brings us to the prop betting

684
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 3: segment of the show, in which the odds maker sets

685
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 3: lines for us. Reminder, Shawn's projections powered the Fantasy Labs

686
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 3: models as well as our prop stool, which aggregates the

687
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 3: player props from online sportsbooks, compares them to Shawn's projections,

688
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 3: and shows you which bets provide the most value. This season,

689
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 3: the props with the back quality of ten have gone

690
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 3: two oh seven, ninety two and eleven, good for a

691
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 3: hit rate of sixty seven percent. Be sure to check

692
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 3: out the props tool at Fantasy Labs for subscribers only.

693
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 2: Sean, what props do you have for us?

694
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: All right, so we're starting it off with Drew Brees

695
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 1: versus Jameis Winston who will score more DK points this week?

696
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 2: Breeze Winston?

697
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 4: Do we get to know this time how you guys

698
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 4: are all doing with the prop bets?

699
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 3: So that is a good question. Scott, the intern turned

700
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 3: producer has just recently had a baby, or rather I

701
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: should say his wife just recently had a baby, so

702
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 3: he normally keeps track of all of this but he

703
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 3: hasn't been able to, uh to send us our updated

704
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 3: state needs. Although I imagine that, uh, you know, Sean,

705
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 3: being mister organization over there, probably has all this information

706
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 3: on his own, but maybe he doesn't.

707
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 2: I know, Sean, do you have No, I didn't.

708
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: Put him the time to get the exact total, but

709
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: I think I crushed last week.

710
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think you've been doing well lately.

711
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sean's trending, yes, exactly. Year to hang on to

712
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: an elite start.

713
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all. It's all going downhill for me, is

714
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: this season?

715
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: So because I'm learning how to shave numbers off you guys.

716
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: So Aaron Rodgers total passing yards this week at home

717
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: against Falcon's hosts, the Mike McCarthy era over under two

718
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five and a half yards.

719
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: Over over, y'all go over.

720
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: And then I had an audible this one after last night.

721
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: But Mark Sanchez passing yards at home against the Giants

722
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: over under to eighteen and a half under over Chris

723
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 1: Thompson's back.

724
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say under, but I don't feel I

725
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 3: don't have a strong conviction on it.

726
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's four K. I'm not saying play him,

727
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: but you know, he is pretty cheap this week, so

728
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if he's on some like GPP

729
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 1: winning team somehow. I have a bonus prop this week.

730
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: Will there be any non QB passing touchdown in Week fourteen?

731
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 2: That's a good one. Say here, here's a question.

732
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 3: What if it's a quarterback on a special team's play,

733
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 3: Like a quarterback doesn't count?

734
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: Like count Yeah, he counts as a quarterback. And you

735
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: like if a guy, if a backup QB is the

736
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: holder and they do a fake field going he throws

737
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: over touchdown, that's still no. So any non QB Okay,

738
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: I say no. I say no, but I want to

739
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: say yes.

740
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 3: Have you done research that shows that later in the season,

741
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 3: teams are likelier to do kind of crazy trick plays

742
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 3: for my special teams formations or things like that.

743
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: I did not put that much research into this, but

744
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: I did see that half the weeks there has been

745
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: a non QB passing touchdown. It's pretty close to fifty

746
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: to fifty. And then you know there's no teams on buys,

747
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: so I think it's probably a little bit more likely.

748
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: So I'll gladly take all no action I can on

749
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: this so moving the running back, I seem to not

750
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: be able to set the line high enough on this guy.

751
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: But Philip Lindsay rushing yards at San Francisco this week

752
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: over under eighty five and a half over over Austin Eckler.

753
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: This is with if Melvin Gordon's ruled out over under

754
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: eighty three and a half, total rushing and receiving yards

755
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: under okay, over all right, and Jalen Samuel's total rushing

756
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: and receiving yards over under fifty two and a half.

757
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 3: I have a question, how much did you inflate that

758
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 3: line from when you really had it in your head

759
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 3: when the show started.

760
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 2: Four yards okay, yeah.

761
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 1: But that is gonna be a very volatile projection.

762
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 3: Yeah help yeah, I'll take the over Pete. You said

763
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 3: over right? Oh yeah, yeah, you went over.

764
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: I think receiving is where he has a lot of equity.

765
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: All right, Moving to receiver. Freedman's boy, Antonio Brown, total

766
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: receiving yards at the Raiders over under eighty seven and a.

767
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 2: Half over just over.

768
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 7: How are you You said you just still felt good

769
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 7: about it. How can you say also so good about volume?

770
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 7: He's getting he's getting volume. I still think he's training downhill,

771
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 7: but he's such a volume beast right now that it's

772
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 7: it's impossible to overlook that I'm.

773
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 6: Taking over over. Last week was a perfect recipe though,

774
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 6: like big Ben and Big Ben and Antonio Brown if

775
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 6: you can buy like I need to look it up.

776
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 2: But like home favorite time it was.

777
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was those two things, like all that together.

778
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: Just they have to have ridiculous numbers over the last years. Yeah,

779
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel total rushing and receiving yards at Cleveland I

780
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier. I'm pretty high him this week, and he's

781
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: super cheap. So I need you guys either talking off

782
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: ledge with him or make me feel good about this projection.

783
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: But over under fifty five and a half, I'll go under. Yeah,

784
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: I'll go under too mean median situation.

785
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 6: I think that's maybe a little low for his mean

786
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 6: but median wise, I'll take the under.

787
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 5: I love him a lot when I look at him

788
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 5: compared to DJ Moore in terms of DFS play, but

789
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:57,959
Speaker 5: I'll go with those guys and go under.

790
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 3: The big thing is I don't believe that he's going

791
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 3: to be getting eleven targets again. You know, like I

792
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 3: think he's going to be closer to like the six

793
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 3: to eight range, and like maybe even closer to like five.

794
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 6: I love to look at like how many big He's

795
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 6: had a lot of big plays obviously remember the reverse specifically,

796
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 6: but he's a big play specialist.

797
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: I know last week was a little.

798
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 6: Bit of anomaly with all the volume, but when I

799
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 6: think about him, I think about when his big games

800
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 6: are very correlated with like one specific big play.

801
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like last week I had him really suppressed

802
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: because everybody was healthy, but now that Olsen's out, I

803
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: think it could open up some you know, underneath routs

804
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: or something. So I definitely like him this week. And

805
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: he's super cheap, So even with my pretty modest projection,

806
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 1: he's popping in my model.

807
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 3: So yeah, And one thing is it's good to see

808
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 3: that even with the return of Devin Functions last week,

809
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 3: that really didn't cap the potential for DJ Moore and

810
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 3: Curtis Samuel, Like both of those guys were still getting

811
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 3: their snaps and running routes and getting targets.

812
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: Ye last but at least Larry Fitzgerald Christian Kirk was

813
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: placed in ir SO the wide receiver def chart behind

814
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: fits is pretty bare, so I think he's a pretty

815
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: high four play this week. But right now I have

816
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: his receiving yards at fifty two and a half.

817
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 4: It's so gross.

818
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 1: I hate taking these old guys at the end of

819
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: the year.

820
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, this is there, Fitzgerald. I guarantee you as

821
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 6: a recording. This is at Whisper Rock right now. Just chicken,

822
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 6: I'm gonna take the under. Yeah, Darius Slay will be

823
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 6: on in probably a good bit. I'll take the under,

824
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 6: all right.

825
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: Moving on to tight end Travis Kelcey. Travis Kelcey versus

826
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: the top tight end score on the main slate Travis

827
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: Kelcey plus four and a half, and the top score

828
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: on the main slate is minus four and a half.

829
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: So you get every other tight end, every other tight end,

830
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: and this this is like the first week we have

831
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: Ertz Tittle and on it. I'll take every other time.

832
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 3: Same, Yeah, I will too. Actually, here's here's a question,

833
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 3: not that I think this is going to factor in,

834
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 3: but are we giving Jalen Samuel's tight end eligibility?

835
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 1: No, that that's that's only for like season long. Yeah,

836
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: like Yahoo, I think is the only set that has

837
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: mostly there. But now dfs of course, just want to

838
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: just want to next up David Joku. Last week he

839
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 1: really put up a dud three catches for eight yards.

840
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm having a rough rough time trying to project them

841
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: over under forty and a half receiving yards at home

842
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: against the Panthers this week.

843
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 2: I'll get there.

844
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: Another media situation for me.

845
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 3: So you went under, yeah, Pete, Pete went under. I'm

846
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 3: going over Carolina. I think like they allow the most

847
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,879
Speaker 3: receiving yards in the league to tight ends, And I mean,

848
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, It's obviously dependent on how many targets

849
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 3: they choose to give him, but I think like they

850
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 3: are just so clearly exploitable by tight ends that that

851
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 3: will probably enhance his targe get value volume.

852
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 5: And I just want so badly to believe in him

853
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 5: that right it should be there. He's touchdowns every week,

854
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 5: all right.

855
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned earlier, I think this is the definitely

856
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: the week to just pay up at tight end, not

857
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: deal with these types of guys, but definitely on the

858
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: mind price side, guys like Matt Lacosse and Ian Thomas,

859
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: I think you could go with either one of those.

860
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: So who do you guys think will score more DT

861
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 1: points Matt Lacos or Ian Thomas.

862
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 2: They tie at zero.

863
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 5: Lacasse Ian Thomas because at least he's getting some targets.

864
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 4: And I do like that game a lot.

865
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh goes scoreless last week? Did he did? He

866
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: didn't like he didn't get a catch? Right?

867
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

868
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 3: I think he had one target, right, maybe one target?

869
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 3: Zero catches? Yeah, yeah, I will go with Thomas. I

870
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 3: think he has a higher probability of scoring a touchdown

871
00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 3: to Broncos. Baby Renee. Your articles, you have articles that

872
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 3: come out each week. What pieces of your should people

873
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 3: look to check out this week?

874
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 5: Well, Tuesday, I have my sort of intro to the

875
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 5: week based on Vegas lines and spreads games to target

876
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 5: games to avoid. That kind of thing gives a nice

877
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 5: sort of broad vision for the week. And then I

878
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 5: have bargains on Wednesday and fades on Friday. Those are

879
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 5: all at Roada World, and then I do kind of

880
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 5: a unique piece at the Athletic that comes out Friday morning.

881
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 5: They call it Brain Games. It's got some cognitive bias

882
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 5: stuff thrown in. We're going to switch it up a

883
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 5: little bit for the playoffs. So that's always a fun

884
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 5: one too.

885
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 3: Everyone be sure to check that out. That stuff sounds

886
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 3: great and that is going to do it. For this
