1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive home of the Black and Goal

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I am Dale Ali. He

3
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: is Matt Williamson, and it is time for the Fantasy

4
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: Football focus here. Matt and I wanted to do this

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: today because well a lot of people are putting together

6
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: there playoff fantasy football practice. I usually get him one

7
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: and I haven't got that email yet. Yeah, nobody's I've

8
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: not been invited to any Maybe we should do one

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: of our own here, should do something. Uh So, just

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: to explain how this works for people who aren't familiar,

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: you pick players in a snake draft, Well, there's a

12
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 1: couple of different ways you can do. You can pick

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: whoever you want, pick whoever you want, and anybody can

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: own anybody. But the idea is to get guys to

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: play the most games. Yeah, kind of like what we

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: do with with when we're picking our DFS line up

17
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: every week. You don't want somebody like, Okay, everybody has

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers this week or every you know whoever, and

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: you know that you lose out on the points for

20
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: it because everybody has them. My favorite format for playoff

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: fantasy is you pick a lineup, you know, one quarterback,

22
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: one night end and you get them for all their

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: playoff points. So Pat Mahomes is great, but you get

24
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: a zero taking a zero in week one sow. You

25
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: can also do it where you get to pick a

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: different guy each week, but you only get to use

27
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: them once. You get to use them once, which is

28
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: kind of fun too, because you get down to the

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. It's like you better make sure, yeah, you

30
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: better save a team that you think is going to

31
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: make it there exactly and surprises happen, or go all

32
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: a f C for your tight ends so you know

33
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: you at least have an NFC type you know, some

34
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: of those A lot of different strategies involved, because it's

35
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: different than just doing a regular season fantasy snake draft.

36
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: I've never seen a true draft draft, and in playoff

37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure they happen. Yeah, you can do it that

38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: way as well. And then you know, it's so if

39
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: you're going to I'm looking here at some rankings going

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: into this um like real quick, Folks like Bengals were

41
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: great last year because they played played four games at

42
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: that point, you know, and they made it to the

43
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So it's gotten a little easier in that

44
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: regard because you used to have the two teams that

45
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: had to buy, right, so you had four teams you

46
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: know that weren't playing that opening week. They were and

47
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: they were good. Yeah. Nine. Usually the way things worked

48
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: as your one or two seed, one of the one

49
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: of the two Super Bowl teams is usually it was

50
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: usually a one or two seed, and then every once

51
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: in a while you get a three in there are five,

52
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: so figuring out who was going to get that extra

53
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: game was more difficult. Now I've gotten it's gotten a

54
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: little easier because teams like Buffalo and Cincinnati get the

55
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: extra game, right, But some of it's almost like an

56
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: eliminator tournament that I better use Kenneth Walker. Now, yeah,

57
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: I get a decent game out of a guy. Maybe

58
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: he's not my favorite running back this week, but I'm

59
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: not gonna get to see ever again. Right, Yeah, they

60
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: burn them all this week. But by the same token,

61
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: you do that and they have a bad game, and

62
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: now you've dug yourself a hole, of course, because you

63
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: could have picked someone that was obvious. If you use

64
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: all the Eagles last week, you know, I could have

65
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: taken justin Jefferson. They didn't use them. Or sometimes you

66
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: go the whole time and you never use the stud

67
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: You never get to it, like I'll save him for

68
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: next week and you can't get there. The idea with these,

69
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: you know, honestly should be to get the most amount

70
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: of points each week today, live for today and sometimes

71
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl you're stuck, but you'll find somebody you

72
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: can like. If you have to use a backup running

73
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: back in the Super Bowl falls in the end zone,

74
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: just don't short yourself a quarterback or a tight end

75
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: or a defense at least have some the standalone positions here, um,

76
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: because you're gonna need that. But you can find a

77
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: third wide receiver and hope he you know, does something

78
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, right, you know where you know,

79
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: if it's the Chiefs running back, Oh, I still get

80
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: Jered McKinnon, or I still have Isaia Pacheco. I can

81
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: I can use either one of those guys that know

82
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: how value or you know, even if that's the great

83
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: thing about if you look at the a f C

84
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: teams this year, they all, you know, those top three

85
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: teams all use multiple backs. That's a good point. I mean,

86
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: you could live with p Ryan if you have right, Yeah,

87
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: you get points at them. You wouldn't take a zero.

88
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: You wouldn't take a zero, right right? At least they play. Yeah,

89
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: so looking here, I'm looking on the Profouball network. We

90
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: use them for the draft stuff. Yeah, yeah, they have

91
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: a mock draft. La. Uh. They have Josh Allen rated

92
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: is the number one play number one player overall because

93
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: they have a chance to get to the super Bowl.

94
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: They're playing this week, and he's the best quarterback and

95
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: fantasy right you know, I guess you can't argue that.

96
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: But number two, two and three they have Jalen Hurts

97
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes. M hmm. They're on the by this Roy.

98
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: That's where it gets tricky. I really like their chances

99
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: of winning their first game though, and if you can

100
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: get two games out of those guys, that's pretty valuable

101
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: in a format like this. So with only fourteen teams,

102
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are more important than you think. Absolutely, I'm not

103
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: starting Bridgewater. I mean I could live with party if

104
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: it could sound like the super Bowl. Yeah, because he's

105
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: gonna play if he plays multiple games. But I'm not

106
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: playing a non Lamar Raven. No. No, some guys that

107
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: are untouchable. Yeah. Uh. They actually have Christian McCaffrey at

108
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: number four. It's pretty good running back. We're gonna catch

109
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: a ton of passes. But ahead of the quarterbacks. He

110
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: talked about how important those quarterbacks are, those top three standalone.

111
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: Burrow would sneak in there because again, these playoff games,

112
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: he's going to have to throw the football there. It's

113
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: not like you're gonna take the air out of the

114
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: ball against the Buffalo. Yeah, the fourth quarter, we're just

115
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: gonna sit on it. I mean, presumably if they win this,

116
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: they beat the Ravens this week, they're probably going to

117
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: have to then go to Buffalo and then have to

118
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: play Kansas City. He's gonna have to throw the football

119
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: in those games. Yeah, I mean you're hoping you get

120
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: three games out of him and possibly be four. I

121
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: mean I was sitting there thinking, could they lose the Ravens.

122
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: Sure they could, but I don't see that happening. If

123
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,799
Speaker 1: it's not Lamar. I'm kind of surprised that that spread

124
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: is only six and a half. I should study the lines.

125
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that. That's lower than the that's lower

126
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 1: than buffaloes, that's lower than um is that people hedges

127
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: like a second he gets announce the second it's announced

128
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: that Lamar is not playing the second in this announced

129
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: that two is not playing right, those spread, those lines

130
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: are going to go through the roof. That should definitely

131
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: be ten without Lamar, without doubt. Yeah, yeah, buffaloes, buffaloes

132
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: that thinking nine and a half Now that'll jump up

133
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: or maybe even ten, that'll jump to like thirteen when

134
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: they paying attention to hasn't practiced and forever. Yeah, he's

135
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: not playing right. Even if he does, he hasn't played

136
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: a game in a month. I mean, he played well.

137
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: They played well in Buffalo recently. I'm sure that's on

138
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: people's minds, but they won one game. He don't played

139
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: a game. And that's the same thing for Lamar. Even

140
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: if they do come back, there's gonna be there's can

141
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: be a rush factor and Lamar there's no passing game.

142
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: At least two has thrown a good guy. Yeah, mar

143
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: is gonna be looking at this one. Where do the

144
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: receivers go? Right? I mean yeah, he'll run, of course,

145
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, uh so they have borrow five brock Purty six.

146
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: That's based solely on the fact that they have a

147
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: chance to win games. Justin Jefferson's seven first wide receiver

148
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: of her I think I might too. I mean I

149
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: think they beat the Jags, and two games of Herbert

150
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: is probably better than three years. Although he didn't throw

151
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: it a ton of touchdowns. They weren't great down the stretch.

152
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: Um runs a little too. Yeah. Jefferson seven, he has

153
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: to be a top receiver. Yeah, Lamar Jackson as him.

154
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: I don't think he plays a game in the Raven

155
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: uniform again, Yeah, that's that's nice for me. And even

156
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: if he does, I think he's only playing one. I

157
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: mean you have to rank him somewhere, sure, sure, but

158
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: it would be a lot lower. Yeah. Uh. Stefon Digs

159
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: at nine, pretty good, that's a nice Yeah. A J.

160
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: Brown at ten another really nice one, except to sit

161
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: a week, but still still probably getting at least two games.

162
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: A J. Brown. Yeah, I'm gonna have like debo over him,

163
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: I can see that. Or no, I can't say a Charger.

164
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: But how about Chase. Yeah, Chase would be pretty high

165
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: and would be real high for me. Higgins over him

166
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: if I get to wait a week. Justin Herbert at eleven, yeah,

167
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: I think he plays two games. Kirk Cousins at twelve

168
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: probably plays two games. Tom Brady Att mm hmm, I

169
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: think the head of that. Yeah, I assume the Cowboys

170
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: are favored right by three. Yeah, yeah, that sounds right. Uh,

171
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence at fourteen. I would have that higher than

172
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: those guys. I know he has played great. They're gonna

173
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: be We're gonna get one game. He's probably gonna get

174
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: at least two. Yeah. Uh. Austin r a fifteen. That's

175
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: really low for that. That's really low for an unbelievably

176
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: productive a hundred catches this year and almost eighteen touchdowns.

177
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he produces like McCaffrey. It's just they probably

178
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: won't play as many games, but that's nice. I mean,

179
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: if we were drafting and he's still sitting there at

180
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: the eighteenth pick, I would run to the podium. Yeah,

181
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: sixteen is Kelsey Yad's strong trying to think. I mean

182
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: he had a hundred. He had a hundred more Fantasy

183
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: points in the next closest tight end this year. Yeah.

184
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: H like he should maybe be the first pick in fantasy.

185
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's such an advantage and I'm just trying

186
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: to scan it while you're talking. He's got a buy

187
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: and he's the number one tighten Yeah, like who else

188
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: would good tight Ends in this? I mean Kiddle, I

189
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: guess is sort of attractive. Hawkinson's very attractive. He was

190
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: probably probably get two games out of him. Goddard has

191
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: a bye. I mean, Andrews doesn't do anything for me.

192
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: If Brown's row into him or they probably get one game.

193
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: Pretty rough. Kelsey would be high on my lip, pretty rough.

194
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: You can probably get at least two games out of him.

195
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: Seventeen is Goddard, I get that. Goddard versus Hawks. Eighteen

196
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: is Kittle. I would take Kiddo. I think over both

197
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: those guys. That's pert pretty has been throwing a ball

198
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: a lot to kill. Yeah, I think that's real. Hockinson

199
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: is nineteen. Dawson knocks at twenty. You're seeing the run

200
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: on tight Ends here because he's your point, just just

201
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: a standalone position. But he's I know, he's done a

202
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: little better, but he's ahead of Mark Andrews. That's based

203
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: on the fact that he's going to play more games.

204
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: More than likely Andrew's gonna play one game with a

205
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: non quarterback. Yeah, that's it's not gonna get it done.

206
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram at twenty two, would you take Ingram over

207
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, just because I think he's a better chance

208
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: to play two games. Yeah, so, yes, he's also been

209
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: more effective. Do you take Everett over him? That's stuff's Nike.

210
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Twenty three is Jamaar Chase. I

211
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: might take over him, Yeah, I mean probably down on

212
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Uh, Jamar Chase at twenty three, that's that's

213
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: way too low. I mean he should be in diggs

214
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: landour is to I don't even think he's not gonna play.

215
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: Then is Dak Prescott. I don't get that. I mean

216
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: they're really hard on the Cowboys, really really low in

217
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Yeah, this tells me that they think the

218
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna lose, which is possible. They're not playing well.

219
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: No is Gino Smith? I mean he should be higher

220
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: than several of the quarterbacks match he's only seven? Is

221
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: Devantae Smith? I like that? But over Ceedee Lamb. Again,

222
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: they're they're low on the Cowboys. They don't think the

223
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to win or Chargers. Yeah, I mean

224
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: Smith is a bye. I say you're gonna get zero

225
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: out of him, and then I like him. Zero plus

226
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: one in one game probably doesn't equal Alan Williams Higgins.

227
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: Do we mentioned Debo yet or no, or even a

228
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: youither is Miles Sanders. Okay, I'm trying to think what

229
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: other backs are relevant. How about Dalvin Cook or how

230
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: about even any of the Buffalo running backs. Yeah, they're

231
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: gonna play an extra game. Yeah, were the Chiefs? The

232
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: Chiefs on six straight touchdowns? Right right? Six games of

233
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: the touchdowns. McKinnon is twenty nine, Dalvin Cooking Dalvin Cook

234
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: is at thirty Mixing is at thirty one. I think

235
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: the Bengals will go further than the Fisy have a

236
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: tough one road. But Devin Singletary at thirty two, it's fine,

237
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: Isaiah Pacheco at thirty three, fair enough, Kenneth Walker at

238
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: thirty four, Sequon Barkley at thirty five. Yeah, Travis A.

239
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: T n at thirty six. And then if you're doing

240
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: that format where you can only use them once, I'm

241
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: hitting that neighborhood. Yeah absolutely, yeah. Uh then you get

242
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: to uh Tee Higgins at thirty seven. Yeah, he's gonna

243
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: play multiple games. Yeah, I agree. Um, then you get

244
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen at thirty eight. Higgins should not be in

245
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: that territory with a guy who's gonna play one game.

246
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: I don't think he and I don't play one. He might,

247
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: he might, but I don't think Higgins will Brandon Ayuk

248
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: at thirty nine, are you Coober Debot? Yeah? How about

249
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: this Tyreek Hill all the way down to forty This

250
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: is the problem, Like, don't just go in, don't go

251
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: into your if you're doing this kind of draft and say, well,

252
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: I'm I'm getting Tyreek Hill. He can play one game

253
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be probably not a hundred fifty yard performer.

254
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: You know, then Waddle obviously is the same. Now, if

255
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: if Tyreek goes for two hundred, hey they probably win,

256
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: But b that's gonna stand for his whole you know,

257
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: if they don't, that's his entire playoffs. Uh ceedee Lamb

258
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: at forty one. They really don't think. They don't think

259
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: Dallas is gonna win. Yeah, they don't. I mean I would.

260
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: I would be into Pollard and Schultz and Lamb at

261
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: these prices. Uh, DK Metcalf at forty two. Get into

262
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: a lot of the stand alone good players. You know,

263
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: one game of Going Juju at already three j two

264
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: has some some value in this format. Three games, right,

265
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get you play three games. He's gonna

266
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: catch passes. Good chance. Deebo Samuel at I don't get

267
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: that one. You know, he's been quiet and hurt and

268
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: all that. Yeah, I don't want team that's gonna play

269
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: a lot of games. Forty five is Gabe Davis. It

270
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: seems like a value as well, considering what he did

271
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: in the playoffs last year. By the way, if he

272
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: has one of those games, just one, then you know

273
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: you're in good You're in great shape. I mean he's

274
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: going to see the field a lot, especially this low.

275
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: It's like he has one of those you know, six

276
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: catches for a hundred and eighty yards and two touchdowns

277
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: that carries you through the whole. Like, I think Gabe

278
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: Davis is an overrated football player, but I'd take him

279
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: over Tyree Hill and something like this about format. Absolutely.

280
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: Mike Evans is forty six. Well, if they think Dallas

281
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: is gonna get lose, yeah, somebody's gonna win. Mike Williams

282
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: is but there's an injury looming. Yeah, Chris Goblin at

283
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: forty Okay, I mean Evans and godwinner somewhere. Jalen Waddle

284
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: att Yeah, these are all good players. They don't think

285
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna get out of Christian Kirk at fifty that's

286
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: not bad. He produces every week and they've they've chanced

287
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: away home. Adam Feeling at fifty one, Yeah, that's kind

288
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: of I mean he's hard to count on. Tyler Lockett

289
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: at fifty two, all right, Za Jones at fifty three,

290
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: it's fair. Tony Pollard all the way down at him

291
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: and Zeke and Charles and you know, I don't quite

292
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: a Polar was like RB six this year. Yeah, I

293
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: mean he goes down a little, but what I mean,

294
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna use them. He's the best guy to try

295
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: on the playoff games. Rashad White at fifty five, okayze yeah,

296
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: Ezekie Elliott's at fifty six. Polars and Elliott should not

297
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: be that close anymore. No, it's a good point. They

298
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: both should be higher in my opinion. Yeah, there should

299
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: be a bigger game. There should be a bigger like

300
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: Polers ten spots better than Zeke. Yeah yeah, yeah. Uh.

301
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz all the way down to fifty seven. I mean,

302
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: people know what. I'm not big on him, but if

303
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: he plays two games and catches him yeah, twelve balls.

304
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones all the way down at the last quarterback,

305
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: I guess yeah. I mean I would take him over.

306
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: But they have a chance to win that game. Said

307
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: they might win, right. I don't think that's a slam dunk.

308
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: That's a three point game three weeks ago. If you

309
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: use them and flush him. Daniel Jones isn't a bad starter,

310
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, he puts up fantasy points. At fifty nine.

311
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: Is JK Dobbins good defense, unlikely to win splits times

312
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: going against him. Leonard Fournett is below j K Dobbins.

313
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: I would put Leonard Fournett ahead of j K Dog.

314
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna catch passes, especially in a game like this.

315
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: If you think that they're going to be behind, he's

316
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: on the field. Were at least in a close game,

317
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: they're going to throw the football. I think he's it's

318
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: what they do. Uh. James Cook all the way down

319
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: to sixty one. That's a sleeper there. Give me a

320
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: Bill's back that's gonna play a lot. I mean take

321
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: the Niners second, especially when you look down here where

322
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: he with some of the guys that he's with. Jeff

323
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: Wilson at sixty two Rheem Mosted at sixty three. Yeah,

324
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: give me James Cook. He's gonna play a lot more

325
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: snaps than them in the playoffs. K j Osborne at

326
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: sixty four. Do you know what they should do is

327
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: they should make this a DFS. Do you only have

328
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: X amount to spend? Like here's the list, you know

329
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like I would have that. I'll take

330
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: a look at that tonight and search that would be

331
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 1: It's sixty five? Is Tyler Boyd that's a nice value? Yeah, absolutely,

332
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup at sixty six, Russell Gage at sixty seven.

00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: out you're starting to use some use them some ways.

335
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: If we're DFS in it, and I could go big

336
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: on other people. I bet he finds the end zone

337
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: once or twice. Yeah, they'll they'll do something, goofy and

338

00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: seventy one bad because he could play two games. Isaiah

344
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: McKenzie at seventy two should play multiple games. Yeah, that's

345
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: not bad. Uh. I like de Sean Jackson got released,

346
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: but maybe I was wrong about them. Maybe somebody else

347
