Follow them on Twitter at 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.080 E L I O T c R I S T 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.840 Elliot Chris the Quant Edge. Make sure you visit them. 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.480 They have Advanced Analytics DFS advice, Betting advice. I have 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.560 a betting tool that's thirty six and nineteen against the 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:40.720 spread since his debut, Elliott, what's going on? In? What's 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.720 going on? I'm pumped to be here. I'm I'm really 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.160 excited that we get to talk football this week. I'll 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.440 do my best to be your best friend. Uh, well, 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.280 you know we'll start right there. If you want to 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.680 be my best friend, you have to answer this question correctly. 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.560 What do you like better between Metallica and Dave Matthews 0:01:55.640 --> 0:02:01.360 band Metallica? For sure, it's got to be Well, that's 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.400 that's that's the correct answer obviously. I mean you see 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.240 he hears Enter Sandman coming into the show. So we're 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.000 all already off to a great start here. You know, 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.680 Greg Sousman is a big Dave Matthews band fan. He 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.920 likes you know, top forty hits. We we attract because 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.679 we're complete opposites. So we've already got that out of 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.240 the way. I appreciate that you you said that very 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.840 quickly too. I will mention Elliott, I'm I got a 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:24.800 little bit of like a fanboy thing going on too, 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.120 because you helped me throughout the uh, the NFL draft process. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.919 I would listen to your podcast, the Draft Daily podcast 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.480 back then, uh this past year, you know, listening to 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.080 your advice about guys like se Kwon Barkley, Sam Donald 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.000 leading up to the draft. So that was a lot 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.320 of great stuff. I remember you saying actually on the 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.600 st Kwon Barkley podcast that you wouldn't be surprised if 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.680 he went one overall and fantasy and he's he's come 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.280 close to that. I mean he's not Todd Gurley, but 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.880 he's pretty damn close. Yeah, he's had that amazing floor 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:53.840 weekend and week out. The only thing that stopped him 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.000 from being Todd Gurley is the touchdown equity, And honestly, 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.680 the offensive line and scheme is killing him. You know 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.079 if if they use they use him, but they don't 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.720 use him properly, like even a lot of his flare outs, 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.959 for example, he's he's catching the ball eight ten yards 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:10.840 behind the line of scrimmage. That's gonna really hurt his 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.120 opportunity to have those big plays. Well, when we saw 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.120 him on Monday Night Football against the forty nine side, note, NFL, 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.600 please stop putting the Giants on Monday Night football. But 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.840 when when we saw him and they got him on 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:24.639 a linebacker in space, they even had him on two 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.400 linebackers and he crushed them and got a forty yard 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.480 game down the field. I think that we're seeing Barkley's talent. 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.880 He's running behind a bad offensive line and he still 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.280 has a twenty plus point weekly floor. Uh. The game 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.760 against the Eagles where he got the touchdowns, he looked 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:40.960 like a superhuman and I think that's kind of what 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.760 he is as a talent. Absolutely, And I think a 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.280 common team that we're gonna see this week just from 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.120 a DFS per sex perspective season long as well, all 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.800 these top tier running backs really not named Alvin Kamara 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:53.600 because he's going up against the Eagles, but I mean 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.160 still Alvin Kamar. He's matchup proof. We know that all 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.720 these top tier running backs have phenomenal matchups this week. 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.040 So I think in DFS cash game plays, we're gonna 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.480 see a lot of people, you know, trending towards using 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.280 two of those top tier running backs and then really 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.280 probably loading up at the mid tier for wide receivers. 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:09.640 So we'll see if we can point out some of 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.200 those mid tier wide receivers throughout the show here that 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.159 people can pair up with their high priced running backs. 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:17.680 Let's jump right in because we got a lot of 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.680 games to preview here. Elliott Carolina Panthers at the Detroit 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:25.120 Lions up first, Detroit home Dogs four point Dogs at home, 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.960 forty nine and a half game total. Obviously, Christian McCaffrey, 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.360 the must start here, will say that the Lions run 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.800 defense has played better better since Snax Harrison arrived there. 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.760 I mean, you wouldn't realize it, but that's how bad 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.520 they were beforehand. They have played better with Snax Harrison. 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.440 CMC obviously still a must start, Cam Newton, and then 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.040 I will also throw Kenny Gallady in that discussion as 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.240 a must start because as of right now, it doesn't 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.160 look like Marvin Jones is going to be able to go. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.039 He hasn't practiced all week long dealing with that knee injury. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:55.720 Uh So, how do you feel about Kenny g Is 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.080 he one of these mid tier wide receivers this week 0:04:58.080 --> 0:04:59.360 that you'll be looking at in cash and do you 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.080 trust him as a I don't know. Let's see top 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.599 twenty wide receiver this week. I do trust him as 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.520 the top twenty wide receiver. I do trust him in 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.000 cash and I think he's He's basically a must play 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.720 if Marvin Jones is out. It's one of those situations 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:12.919 where who else are they going to throw the ball to. 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.560 I mean, you can talk about theoretic potentially in the 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:19.039 slot against Captain Marylin having a potentially solid role, But 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.880 you know, Kenny Golladay is already seeing forty three percent 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.680 of the air yards and um so the last couple 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:28.239 of weeks since Golden Tate's gone, he's but Marvin Jones 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.400 and Golden Tate not being there are going to open 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.599 up sixty percent of the air yards and fifty of 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.839 the targets. And you know, Kenny Golladay can beat Brad Berry, 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.600 he can beat Jackson with his size. I think the 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.840 Lions going home is going to be terrific for them. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:43.719 Right now people are down on them, but you know, 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.400 Gallady has got a real good shot to see thirty 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.039 percent of the workload in this game, and at his 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:50.800 price in DFS, I don't know how you get away 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.800 from home in cash. Yeah, and especially look if you 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:55.560 haven't been season long too, I think you try and 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:56.960 get him in there the best you could. We just 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.880 saw with the Steelers did against the Carolina Panthers last 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.680 day night on Thursday. Football completely annihilated them. That was 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.920 thanks in part two Antonio Brown, Juju Smith Schuster having 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.960 big games. So I don't think that the Panthers secondary 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.520 is great by any means. They're not bad. They're like 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.320 middle of the pack, but they could definitely be beat 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.479 by teams. And we see Kenny Golladay coming off that 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.479 career high thirteen targets from a week ago. So I'm 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.200 with you. I'm in on Kenny Golladay. I have a 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.680 few cash line ups already were again I'm paying up 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.760 high at the running back position, and then I'm trying 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.240 to find some of these mid tier wide receivers. I 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.680 think Kenny Golladay is one of those guys. Elliot, I'll 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.680 bring up carry On Johnson real quick. He played seventy 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.000 of the snaps last week, really proving that he's game 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.960 flow proof. I have him as my RB fifteen this week. 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.200 Is that a little bit too aggressive? I say game 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.159 flow proof now because like they got blown out last week, 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.240 he still had a phenomenal game. He rushed for a touchdown, 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.480 he called a touchdown, and what I really like about 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.920 his usage is that they tried to use Legarrett blunt 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.120 down near to go on. He failed twice. The third 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.000 time they went to carry on Johnson, he punched it in. 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.480 That tells me that coaching staff should start to have 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.760 more faith in carry On Johnson. But again it's Matt 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:02.120 Patricia that's out there, so we'll see if that continues 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.640 to roll. Uh. Your confident carry On Johnson this week? Correct? 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.560 I am confident in carry On Johnson. The assumption of 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.520 rational coaching is probably the thing that gets us fantasy 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.480 players in the most. But le Garret Blood has been 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.800 bad as a goal line back for multiple years now. 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:17.640 I think last year he was the least efficient runner 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.400 inside the five yard line. He's just he has that 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.880 stigma about him that he's great inside the five. He's 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.680 not anymore. He's he's about his wash as any player 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.840 in the NFL. Theo Redick is more of a wide 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:29.560 receiver at this point. You know, he's played the most 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.600 snaps he's played the last couple of weeks. But he's 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.200 on the field with carry On Johnson, you know Johnson. 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.360 Scott Barretts did a study this this offseason and showed 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.160 that snaps were the most correlated statistic to running back 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.280 fantasy wins, and Johnson snaps continue to trend upwards. I 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.160 think they'll He's going to continue to get more and 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.200 more involved in this game. And you know, I think 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.120 that he's he's a fantastic talent. And as long as 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.239 he continues to get the opportunity and stays on the field, 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.640 you know, no Marvin Jones, They're gonna get him the 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.680 ball a lot, and that volume puts him in play 0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:59.520 as the top fifteen running back this week for sure. 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.400 I like this man. Elliot agrees with me. We're on 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.800 the same page. So far, we got metallically carry on 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.360 Johnson going. I like this, Let's keep it going. I 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:09.600 will throw the Panthers dst out there. That one of 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.280 my favorite streams this week. I don't think that they 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.520 are a talented group by any means, Like they're not. 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.840 This isn't the Panthers defense from years ago where they're 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.840 like an elite defense. But Stafford has been sacked sixteen 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.280 times over his last over the last two weeks, so 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.800 I just think there's opportunity for for sacks, for obviously 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.400 turnovers here for the Panthers, Ellie, I'll just throw these 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.800 two out real quickly for you. Devin Funches to me, 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.040 he's a sneaky wide receiver. Three. I know Darius Slay 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.000 looks like he's expected to return in this game, but 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.679 the lines have allowed ten touchdowns to wide receivers over 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.880 their last five games. And then on the other side, 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.880 if Marvin Jones is out, is t J Jones sneaky 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.960 to you or you're just completely avoiding that. So I'll 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.600 start with the funcious question. I think that if Slay 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.400 is out, I'll be on Funches pretty heavily. If Slag 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.880 is in, I don't know if I'll have much funcious 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:59.000 um that. I always have trouble trusting Cam Newton weapons. 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:00.600 You know, one times that of a good game, but 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.560 he can't really support more than one based off his 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.720 play style. I trust McCaffrey more in this spot, even 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.160 Greg Olson against the Lions with tight ends. So font 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.360 is probably not a guy for me this week. I 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.920 hope he can remain best friends. But with with with 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.400 t J. Jones, I don't hate it. It's just a 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:21.400 situation where I think I'd much rather get to Golladay, 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:23.880 Riddick or carry on Johnson, and at that point, I 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:25.400 don't know if I want to go to the fourth 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.640 option on a Lions team that's been struggling to move 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:31.600 the ball fair enough. Cincinnati Bengals at the Baltimore Ravens, 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.000 Baltimore minus three and a half right now, no game 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:38.000 total on the board, because again, even as now it's 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.880 you know, it's r G three, it's Lamar Jackson, we 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.240 just got some news that they expect this to be. 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.760 They're gonna mix and match these guys. I don't know 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.320 that Joe Flaco was gonna play in this game. I 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.400 doubt that he does. So it looks like we could get, 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.880 you know, one series r G three, one series Lamar Jackson, 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.679 which really kind of rose this whole game for a loop. 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.280 The one thing that I'm hoping that it doesn't change 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.240 Elliott here is Alex Collins, because look, I was in 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.000 Alex Collins truth thor before the season. Admittedly, I was 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.160 very high on Alex Collins, and I knew what I 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:06.719 was getting myself into. I knew that there was a 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.440 chance that you know, Buck Allen was going to be 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.000 involved here. They obviously go out and trade for Time Montgomery, 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:16.160 his touches haven't been all that and they've been consistent, 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.040 but they just haven't been consistently high what we want 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.080 them to be. Look, I'm praying to the old gods 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.440 and the new that we can get fifteen plus touches 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.480 in this matchup for Alex Collins because Cincinnati's allowing the 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.840 fourth most rushing yards per game this year running backs. 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.439 They're allowing the fifth highous yards per carry the running backs. 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.199 Everybody on the Bengals defense is questionable. Right now? Are 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.880 you as excited about Alex Collins this week or do 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.200 you think he's gonna end up being too chalky? Uh? 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.199 Does the quarterback situation? Were you too much when it 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:45.000 comes to Alex Collins? I'm very excited? What say you? Yeah? 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.880 I really want Jackson to play as much as possible 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.680 if I'm an Alex Connin Collins owner or want to 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.319 play him in DFS. This year, with Lamar Jackson on 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.600 the field, the Ravens are averaging four point eight two 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.800 yards per carry. Without Lamar Jackson on the field, they're 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.440 averaging three point one eight yards per carry. You know, 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.320 teams respect and fear him as a runner so much 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.520 that they just leave wide open running lanes for Alex 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.600 Collins to kind of hit hit the hall and have 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.840 a ton of open field, and we know his open 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.719 field ability. I really like Collins this week. He's too 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:18.440 cheap on on draft kings, especially at DRED. The Bengals 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.080 you mentioned are just a disaster, kind a four point 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.679 nine eight yards per carry percent success right against plus 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.000 about eight targets per game to running backs. I think 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.439 if we see Jackson or Griffin, they're gonna I mean 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.520 even Griffin has a running ability as well. I think 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.320 Collins is very much in play. And if Lamar Jackson 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.839 does get the starting nod, which I and I well, 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.200 it seems like the report changes every single day what 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.239 it might be. Uh, as soon as we get that 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:46.680 that update, probably eleven thirty on Sunday morning, we will 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.400 know who the starter is and it will impact Alex Collins. 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:53.040 But I'm definitely very interested in him this week. So 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.199 I want to you want Lamar Jackson in for the 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.920 rush game oddly, but it's gonna affect the Pets game. Uh. 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:02.440 Lamar Jackson, Um, he has upside. I think he has potential. 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.719 To me, he's still very raw as a passer. I'll 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.400 go as far as to say, you know, Robert Griffin 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.439 the third might even be a more talented passer at 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.559 this level. It doesn't mean that Lamar Jackson can't get 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.439 there eventually. I think he could. But um, again, this 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.240 is a good matchup for all Ravens players because the 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.719 Cincinnati Bengals defense this had been so bad even when 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:23.520 and they fired Terrell Austin their defensive coordinators. So who 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.560 are you looking at anybody here for the Ravens pass 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.880 catchers because you know the Bengals are beat up? Uh? 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.520 Is it John Brown? Is it Michael Crabtree. I think 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.679 it's kind of a toss up. I mean, one of 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.360 these guys might be able to pop off for for 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.240 like a GPP tournament perspective for dfs, but season long, 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:40.160 I just I don't know who to trust from this 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.760 group right now. Yeah, it's one of those situations where 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.199 you want to try to figure out how to get 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.520 a Ravens receiver in there because of the matchup. But 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.319 it's not something I feel particularly good about. John Brown 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.240 is too cheap, and if Robert Griffin ends up as 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.520 the starter of the one thing I think he does exceptionally, well, 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.480 let's throw a deep ball, and we know that that's 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:59.040 John Brown's game. I ultimately, though, I think the Ravens 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.120 are gonna rely on their defense and running game in 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.439 this game, and I don't want to be overexposed to 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:07.160 this one. So if if you, if you're I, I 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.120 really think Alex Collins is the strongest play and maybe 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.800 sprinkling some John Brown and tournaments because whenever you have 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.280 an A dot as high as he does, he's always 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.400 liable to break off. You know, he can have three 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.439 catches for Hunter twenty yards and two touchdowns. He's that 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.640 kind of player. And he's cheap this week and he's 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:23.960 not gonna have much ownership. So that's a GPP special 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:25.960 right there. But you know, I don't feel great about 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.600 any Ravens with backup quarterbacks without any you know, ability 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.160 to look at how these guys have performed together in 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.120 the past. Let's move over to the Cincinnati Bengal side 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.200 of things real quick. Joe Mixing seems like he might 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.240 have reaggravated knee injury this week. He did practice in 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:45.120 full on Friday, so we're expecting to go I'm worried. 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:46.920 I'm worried about him in this matchup. The Ravens have 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.640 been very stout against the run this year. Uh, and 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.640 it's without A J. Green. It's you know, how are 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.679 they moving the football down the field? So Bill Mixing, Look, 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.480 if I haven't been season long, I'm still gonna play him. 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:58.959 I think he's high in RB two because he's still 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:00.600 gonna get the volume. But I will will say in 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.840 cash I'm scared of I mean in DFS, I'm scared 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.320 off of him for sure. Uh even in like GPP, 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.600 like contrarian, I'm not gonna do it because I'm completely 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:12.200 worried about Joe Mixon. Um for Tyler Boyd? Are you 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.040 too scared off the match up here? And the fact 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.080 that you know the what we just saw last week 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.319 against the Saints in a great matchup, he wasn't being 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.760 able to do much. Is that a correlation with A. J. 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:22.960 Green not being on the field him getting more coverage? 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.520 Are you are you shying away from Tyler Boyd this week? Yeah? 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.480 I'm not gonna play Tyler Boyd in DFS at all. 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.280 He's too expensive for this matchup. And you know he 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.160 still ran most of his routes out of the slot 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.080 last week and got to face off against p J. 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.480 Williams Andy Dalton still didn't do much with him. And 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.960 he Dalton splits without a J Green or horrendous, and 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.280 he Daalant splits without Tyler are horrendous. I think he's 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.800 really a product of his weapons as much as anyone 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.720 in the NFL. And that Ravens defense at home especially, 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.320 it's just not something I want to attack. So I 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.840 think I'll just completely fade the Bengals, and I think 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.440 the Ravens defense is actually a pretty strong play in 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.560 DFS this week. Real quick, we got about two minutes 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.120 before were our first break here Dallas Cowboys at the 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.240 Atlanta Falcons inside the Dome at Atlanta, Favored by three 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.120 and a half right now forty eight and a half 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.440 game total. The most starts in this game obviously Ezekiel Elliott, 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.320 Matt Ryan, Julio Jones. Matt Ryan arguably playing better ball 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.800 than in his m v P season, obviously gets the 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.720 fast track now inside the Dome. He's actually played better 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.640 at home this year. That's to the surprise of nobody. Um, 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.080 I like, you know, I have cash lineups already where 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.120 I have Ezekie Elliott. He's one of the uh one 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.400 of these top tier running backs that I'm looking to 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.040 pay up for here. The Falcons struggle against past catching 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.720 running backs every single season, and we just saw Zeke 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:35.440 have a pretty big game out of the past game 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.280 last week against the Eagles. I want to mention to 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.280 Marii Cooper because I like him a lot. He's sixty 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.360 six hundred dollars on FANDEL. I think he's one of 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.560 these mid tier wide receivers that I'm looking at target here. 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.960 The Falcons have been beat up by wide receivers this year. 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.080 He has a twenty six percent targets share with the 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.440 Cowboys since he's joined them. And if I like a 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.120 Marii Cooper, I like Dak Prescott man. I think he's 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.160 a good stream for season long. There's six teams on 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.160 a buy. I might go as far as to say 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.800 that I'll use Dak Prescott and cash and get Is 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.880 that crazy, Elliott? No? I think, especially on draft kings, 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.560 he's far too cheap at The Falcons are giving up 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.720 about seven points per game two quarterbacks this year, on 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.960 top of the fact that they've struggled to stop rushing 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:14.880 quarterbacks along five point eight yards per carried. That's getting 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:18.160 about five plus carries a game three rushing touchdowns in 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.760 his last four games. Plus the Mark Cooper edition is 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.360 huge for him. He actually someone on the outside. You know. 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.320 He also gets to dump it down to Zeke while 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:29.600 Dion Jones is back. That that Falcons past defense funnels 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.760 targets to running backs, and Zeke in the open field 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:35.200 on passes from Dak can do wonders for Dak Prescott's ceiling. 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.640 I think Dak, Zeke Amari Cooper are all fantastic. And 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:42.000 you mentioned the fast track in the dome with the Falcons. 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.000 This has becoming the new Age Saints team. I mean, 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.720 the Saints are still a speak too, but the Facies 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:55.640 are given up. All right, Ellie, We're gonna hit the 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.480 break here, we come back. We are going to continue 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.320 previewing as many of these games. Hospital believe Elliot is 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.320 a Jets fan as well. Maybe I'll get the opportunity 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.560 to talk to him about that. Um, even if you 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.800 don't want to hear, I'm gonna Tennessee best friends forever, Elliot. 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:13.840 Chris frank Stamp will be back right after your daily 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:17.920 Rhodo dot Com learned from the game's best DFS players. 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:22.560 We don't just give you premier advice.

Look, 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.760 if it's not gonna be Metallica, give me some eighties 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.879 nineties dance house music. Man Like, I'm all over the 0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:00.239 place in a rap, hip hop whatever it is. But man, 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.399 I love me some house and uh, some house, some 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:04.959 dance music. Elliott to agree on that too. I mean, 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:06.520 if you don't like it, like, I'm not gonna hold 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.800 that against you. That that's completely fun. My music selection 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.840 probably shouldn't be talked about on air. It's it's not 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.280 necessarily the most popular thing among people. My girlfriend says, 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.440 I have the musical taste of a sixteen year old girl. 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.640 So I just said that on and that's not out there. 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:26.520 But yeah, nineties music typically is it isn't my thing 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.479 you all right, So your girlfriend says that you have 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:34.080 the musical of a six six year old girl. I mean, 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.600 you probably would get along with Greg Susman. We might 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:38.400 have to do another show with Greg Sussman around. We'll 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.480
