1
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: Happy Funday, Fantasy coaches and welcome to the Fantasy Pros

2
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: Football Podcast. I'm your host Bobby Sylvester by my side

3
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: producer JP Gaale, and on today's show we'll have guests

4
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: Derek Farnsworth. You probably know better as Notorious from Rhodo Grinders,

5
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 1: so we will of course be talking about week five

6
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: DFS since Notorious is with us. Hi, Derek, thanks for

7
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: joining us. Bobby, what's going on? Man? I'm pumped about

8
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: this weekend. I built my lineups right before this and

9
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: it's looking good. I'm feeling pretty confident. Last week was

10
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: a good week, but not good enough. I didn't take

11
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: down a big prize, so this is the week. Yeah,

12
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: I kind of feel the same way. The first four

13
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: weeks have been pretty good cash games as far as

14
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: tournaments go, if you had to hit the big one.

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of in in the same boat as you.

16
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: So two years ago I realized you really knew what

17
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: you were talking about when I was reading some of

18
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: your NBA advice. I was doing it a couple of

19
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: times a week, and I thought, Man, this guy's really good.

20
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: Then when I found out you were doing multiple sports,

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: I was pumped. How did you become so successful in DFS.

22
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: Did you start like the rest of us, taking your

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: lumps or did you just hit a home run from

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: the get go. No, I definitely took my lumps. I

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: think I introduced to DFS towards the end of the

26
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: NFL season, maybe five years ago, and yeah, I, like

27
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: everyone else, had to deposit a few times before I

28
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,279
Speaker 1: got the hang of it. And then basketball season came around,

29
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: and you know, that's always a sport that I've always

30
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: chairshed the most and I knew the most about. So

31
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: once I got the hang of basketball and sort of

32
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: just figuring out, you know, DFS in general, and then

33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: getting used to the little nuances of each individual sport.

34
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: So did you like build your own algorithm that you

35
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: stand by strictly or what does your research process kind

36
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: of look like? Yeah, so for NFL, you know, I

37
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: have my own set of projections, and I actually love

38
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: using the Fantasy pros, you know, expert consensus rankings, just

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: to be able to spot some of the best value plays.

40
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: I like to compare those rankings to sort of the

41
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: salary rankings on both FANDEL and DraftKings. Just look for

42
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: miss price, guys, and see you know some of the

43
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: players that some of the experts are higher on than

44
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: I am, and if there's a big difference, you know,

45
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: I'd like to look at see why, you know, I'm

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: not as high on that player. So I like to,

47
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: you know, read a few different people's articles. Um, you know,

48
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: JM to win on Rodo Grander is one of my favorites.

49
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: He's the best Disney Yeah, he's awesome. And yeah, I

50
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: mean Evan Silva from Rodo World got to read his

51
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: matchups callum every week. So, I mean there's a few

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: guys that I definitely listen to each week, but for

53
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: the most part, I'm just looking at rankings and my

54
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: own individual projections. All right, Well, what we're gonna do

55
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: here today, We're gonna go one position at a time.

56
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking about fan duel draft kings prices

57
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 1: because that's what most people listening play. So we'll start

58
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: here at the quarterback position. I want to talk about

59
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Is he going to be the top owned

60
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: quarterback this week? And how many shares are you grabbing? Yeah,

61
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: I think I think he's going to be the highest

62
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: owned player, at least at the quarterback position. But the

63
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: good thing is, you know quarterback, everyone likes to pair

64
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: him with the receivers, especially in tournaments, so usually we

65
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: see a pretty even ownership across the position. So even

66
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: if he's twenty to twenty five percent owned, I still

67
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: think you can load up on him in tournaments. You

68
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about, you know, him being so

69
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: chalk that you have to fade him. So, I mean,

70
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: he's my favorite guy. We know that the Patriots love

71
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: to hold grudges, they don't mind running up the score.

72
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: And you know, we kind of have the double narrative here.

73
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: We have Brady coming back from miss suspension and then

74
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots were shut out last week against the Bills

75
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: like them. Oh sorry, go ahead, No, that's a good

76
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: point too. I forgot all about the shutout. I was

77
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: just thinking angry Brady. Plus you have Beligick going to Cleveland. Yeah,

78
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just so many reasons to like this offense.

79
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: And you know, the Browns defense, they can't stop anybody.

80
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: This will typically set up, you know, for la Garrett

81
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: Blunt type of game because they're favored so big. But

82
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: I think they just come out and throw it all

83
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: over the Browns now do you think Brady's going to

84
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: be ready. I mean, he hasn't been with his teammates

85
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: for four weeks. He's Tom Brady Man, he'll be yeah, yeah,

86
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: you're right. It just makes me nervous. I can't fathom

87
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: playing him in a cash game just because I don't know.

88
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you can almost be certain. But that's why

89
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much staying away from the cash games this week,

90
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: because there's no one who really stands out to me

91
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: at quarterback, and if you don't have a quarterback you

92
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: really trust, I just tend to go GPP in those weeks.

93
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong to do that, but there's a couple

94
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: of guys are really like in GPP, and we'll be

95
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: talking about some of us here in a minute. One

96
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: of them's Brian Hoyer. I think he's the top value quarterback.

97
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: Is there someone else you have in mind as a

98
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: top value? I think Lawyer has got to be the

99
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: top value available. Derek Anderson would be very interesting if

100
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: Cam Newton gets ruled out, but he's obviously not available

101
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: in the main slate, and then Paxson Lynch would be

102
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: interesting too, if Trevor Simeon gets ruled out. But yeah,

103
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, I think Howyer is the best value here.

104
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: It's cheap across the industry. You know, he's played well

105
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys and Lions, got a great match up

106
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: against the Colts. The only thing I worry about is

107
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: his lack of weapons. Kevin White just went on ir,

108
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: Zach Miller, Eddie Royal both didn't practice yesterday. Alshan Jeffrey

109
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: could be shadowed by Vante Davis. Does that worry you

110
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: at all? Oh? Yeah, definitely does. Vonta Davis is really good,

111
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: But I mean it's the Colts defense, so yeah, behind

112
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter who he's passing too. Even if

113
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: some no name guy, I think they'll be able to

114
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: put up Brian Horror will be able to put up

115
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: value against that Colts defense even with nobody passing. Packton

116
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: Lynch is a guy who brought up sixty eight hundred

117
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: on FanDuel, and you know that's not as low as

118
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: some of these other players like Cody Kessler and such.

119
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: But Packiston Lynch can do it on the ground and

120
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: for a cash game play. I like him a lot

121
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: because you think he's probably gonna get thirty forty rushing yards.

122
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: He might pick up a rushing touchdown and so he

123
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: won't have to do as much through the air, but

124
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: he probably will against the Falcons defense. So yeah, I

125
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: like Packiston Lynch if he place, Yeah, I do too. Somehow,

126
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: the Falcons have gotten up at least three passing touchdowns

127
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: and every game this season. I don't expect that from

128
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: Lynch obviously, but like you mentioned, him being able to

129
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: do suff with his legs, that gives him a much

130
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: higher floor than some of the other quarterbacks. Isn't that

131
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: stat amazing? We're in the fifth week now and they've

132
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: given up at least three touchdowns passing in every single game.

133
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: That's gone really overshadowed by how good Matt Ryan's been.

134
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: Then the three hundred by Julio Jones last week. But

135
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: this Falcon secondary, even with Dan Quinn is their coach,

136
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: you would think they'd have a great secondary, but it's

137
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: just been abysmal. Yeah, definitely one of my favorite secondaries

138
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: to attack, both with quarterbacks and some wide receivers. So

139
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: let's talk about contrarian plays here at quarterback. It seems

140
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: like every week, not every week, I mean, obviously, sometimes

141
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: the chalk guy like Tom Brady ends up being in

142
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: the millionaire lineup. But you know a lot of times

143
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: he sees contrarian quarterbacks like Matt Ryan, who luckily I was,

144
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: you know, keyed in on how bad Carolina's secondary is

145
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: this year. And I played Matt Ryan and Hulu Jones

146
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: that we're out last week. But who's the guy that

147
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: it could be this week? I think it might be

148
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: Eli Manning against Green Bay. Wow, I can't believe we're

149
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: on the same page here. I was gonna say, I'm

150
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: gonna say, don't throw up before after I tell you

151
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: this pick. But yeah, I'm glad you're on the same page.

152
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: This is a game where he should have positive game

153
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: script in his favor. The Packers or what we'd like

154
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: to call, you know, pass funnel defense, very good against

155
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: the run, not very good against the pass. They're gonna

156
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: be missing cham Sam Shields again, who's our best cornerback?

157
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean it just sets up a lot

158
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: like the Packers Lions game a couple of weeks ago,

159
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: where the Packers got out to a big lead and

160
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,119
Speaker 1: then Stafford and Marvin Joneses came back and had monster games.

161
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm right there with you. Yeah, in Eli Manning,

162
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: I don't understand why he's so cheap. He's seventy seven

163
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: hundred on FanDuel, right behind Matt Ryan. He's playing at Denver,

164
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: which is virtually an impossible task. Like you said the

165
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: game script, the secondary Sam Shields is probably out. He's

166
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: been in and out of practice all week, so even

167
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: if he does play, he won't be one hundred percent.

168
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: And then Odell Beckham, I know he said he's not

169
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: having fun playing football and he's kind of a distraction.

170
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: He's a headcase whatever it may be. But people have

171
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: been talking down on him all week, and he's the

172
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: type of wide receiver. I don't know if you want

173
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: to call him a diver or what it may be,

174
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: but when people are talking down on him, he's going

175
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: to take it up to another level. And so I

176
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: want to be surprised if he has an explosive game.

177
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: You know, Sterling Shepherd's been reliable. They've got some weapons there,

178
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: and just because Eli Manning hasn't been as good doesn't

179
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: mean that it's going to continue in week five. So

180
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are going to be

181
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: off him, and I don't think they should be. I

182
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: think he's a real strong play this week. Yeah, I agree.

183
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: One more stat you know, Manning has I suspect some

184
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: positive touchdown regression coming soon. He's account of first seventy

185
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: six percent of their total yards, but only fifty six

186
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: percent of their touchdowns, So I like his touchdowns to

187
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: go up soon. Now, what about Carson Wentz. I've heard

188
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: a few people throw his name out as as a

189
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: good value this week. He's coming off the by He's

190
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: going up against that line secondary. Who I don't think

191
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: the line secondaries as bad. It's just that their schedule

192
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: has been so difficult and so they've been destroyed. But

193
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure about this pick. I see the

194
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: upside there, but he doesn't especially have any weapons. It's

195
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: an away game, what do you think? Yeah, I mean

196
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: it's a great matchup, and you know, the Eagles haven't

197
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: really had a game that would favor you know, the

198
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: passing game. They want to lease every game by fifteen points,

199
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: I believe, so, I mean this is a good spot

200
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: for him. But yeah, he's still a young rookie quarterback

201
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: on the road. Like you mentioned, I don't think the

202
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: Lions secondary is as bad as the numbers indicate. You know,

203
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: Darius Slays the excellent corner. So yeah, I'm with you.

204
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: I like some of the other guys better, but I

205
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: continue to be surprised by what wins it's doing. Now

206
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: if you're fading Tom Brady, and I know that you're

207
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: not going to because you like him, But say you're

208
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: playing a couple of GPP lineups in and you're not

209
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: using Tom Brady in one of them. But when you

210
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: want to spend up on your quarterbacks, who do you like?

211
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: Out of that top tier? There's some good matchups this week.

212
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers against the Giants, Big Ben at home against

213
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: the Jets, Andrew Luck He's probably my favorite this week

214
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: at that banged up Chicago Bears defense, I'm sorry, at

215
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: Indianapolis against that being up Chicago Bears defense. And then

216
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers at Oakland. I think that's a good matchup. Two. Yeah,

217
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: I think you can make a case for all four

218
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: of those guys. If I had to choose one, I'd

219
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: probably go with Big Ben at home. We know how

220
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: much how much better he plays at home than he

221
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: does on the road. And you know the Jets are

222
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: great against the run, and they're ranked thirty first against

223
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: the past in terms of Dvoa and now he's got

224
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: levy On bellback, who lined up as a receiver and

225
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: something like twenty seven percent of his snaps last week.

226
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: So I mean, he's just got a ton of weapons

227
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: and they're going to be throwing the ball. So I

228
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: really like Roethlisberger in both cash games and GPPs. Let's

229
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: use that as a transition here over to the running

230
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: back position, because I want to talk about Levy On

231
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: Bell and I know he's going to be lining up

232
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: at wide receiver some of the time, but that Jets

233
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: front seven it is stout. Is he matchup proof? Is

234
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: Leavey On Bell match up proofer? Should we you know,

235
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: avoid using him against the Jets? So I think he's

236
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 1: probably the most matchup proof of any running back in

237
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. Is because you know, the Steelers us them

238
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: in so many different packages and they line him up

239
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: a receiver, and you know they have such a leathal

240
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: offense that teams can't you know, load up on the

241
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: load the box and try to stop the run. I mean,

242
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: they're still gonna have to worry about Big Ben Antonio Brown,

243
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna open things up for for

244
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: Levon I mean, I think, you know, until he gets

245
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, over nine thousand on FANDOL and over eight

246
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: thousand on DraftKings, I'm just going to keep playing him.

247
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: He saw twenty three touches last week in a game

248
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: that was out of hand, basically a halftime, So I mean,

249
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: I expect him to be a huge part of the offense.

250
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: And you know, he has the freshest legs If any

251
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: running back in the NFL. Right now, would you say

252
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: he's in the majority of your cash game lineups right now? Yes? Ah? Man,

253
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: he makes me so nervous. I'm looking at that. And

254
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: draft Kings says his opponent rank is never four in

255
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: stopping the run, and anytime I see that, I just

256
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: I cringe. And he's the most expensive look I can

257
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: definitely see playing him. I know, you know what you're

258
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: talking about. It still makes me nervous, though, right, Oh yeah, definitely.

259
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: I think the Jets are holding you know, run games

260
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: at three point two yards per carry. But again, you

261
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: just gotta think, you know, he's going to get twenty

262
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: plus touches. I steels had the second highest implied team

263
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: total on the board. He's going to get all the

264
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: goal line where I call the red zone touches and

265
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: he's going to see a bunch of targets through the

266
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: air too, so especially on Draft Kings full PPR. I

267
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: think he's a top guy. Now David Johnson doesn't qualify

268
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: for the main slate, so we're not really going to

269
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: talk about him. I do think he's the best play

270
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: this week. I know you already said you think it's Lavon,

271
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: but right behind him, I love Todd Gurley this week.

272
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills have lost so many players in their front seven.

273
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: You know, those that have returned, they're not quite one

274
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: hundred percent yet, and Todd Gurley has had a really

275
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: hard schedule to begin with. The game scripts haven't really

276
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: been there for Todd Gurley to explode. I think this

277
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: is the perfect scenario for Gurley. He could bust a

278
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: couple of big runs. I like using him. I'm using

279
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: him in all my cash games. How do you feel

280
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: about Gurley this week? I think it's definitely a good

281
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: week to hop on Gurley playing at home and they're

282
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: finally favored. The Bills don't have a bad run defense,

283
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: but Girley's pretty much every down back. I mean, he's

284
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 1: played eighty six percent of the snaps last week, He's

285
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: seeing close to forty percent of the touches total team touches,

286
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: and they're finally using him in the passing game. You know,

287
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: he's always been able to catch the ball, but for

288
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: every reason they haven't used him, And so I really

289
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: like that moving forward. Is there another running back besides Bell?

290
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: Do you think is just you kind of have to

291
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: play him in cash games? This week? One of the

292
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: guys I'm looking at is Jordan Howard. I'm usually not

293
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: a fan of taking the underdog running backs on the road,

294
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: but I think this is a spot where, you know,

295
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: his production doesn't really rely on game flow. He's gonna

296
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: get all the snaps and he's gonna get work, whether

297
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: it's in the running game or the passing game. And

298
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: I want to have exposure to the Spars offense. So

299
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: if I'm paying up a quarterback and I'm not going

300
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: down to Hoyer, I really like getting Howard in there

301
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: so I can get some of the some exposure to

302
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: this Colts defense. Yeah, and you talked about their banged

303
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 1: up wide receiver corps. Howard, it's probably gonna get a

304
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: couple of extra targets this week as a result. So yeah,

305
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: I'm almost certain he's gonna hit value. I'm pretty sure

306
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: he's going to be highly owned. He looked good last

307
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: week and that matchup last week was real good, so

308
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: it makes him look better than he is. But you know,

309
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: this is not a bad scenario for Howard again. One

310
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: guy I really like is James White really only on

311
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: PPR Draft Kings full PPR Draft Kings. He's thirty nine hundred.

312
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's coming back. We know he was great when

313
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: tom Brady was there last year and Dan Lewis was hurt.

314
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: I think this is pretty much an ideal game for

315
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: him going to Cleveland. Who you know, they can't stop

316
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: the run, they can't stop running backs out of the

317
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: backfield catching the ball. I like him a lot at

318
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: that price. Yeah, I really like that call. Anytime we

319
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: expect the Patriots to be passing a lot, you definitely

320
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: want their pass catching running back. And yeah, with Cronk

321
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: banged up a little bit, White could see quite a

322
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: bit of work in this one, especially if they decided

323
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: to spread it out against the Browns. Let's switch it

324
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: over and talk about GP for this question. Here we

325
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: saw seven Coleman and Matt Jones and a bunch of

326
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: GPP winning lineups lately the past two weeks, which obscure

327
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: back could it be this week? I'm gonna go THEO Riddick,

328
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: assuming Duwayne Washington is out. I think he's gonna see

329
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: You know, close to eighty percent of the SNAPS lines

330
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: are underdogs against the Eagles, which always sets up well

331
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: for Riddick. They should be thrown a lot, especially if

332
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: if they get down early. And you know, he's averaging

333
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: six and a half targets per game and even saw

334
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: some goal line work last week. You know, he didn't

335
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: get in the end zone, but if he's getting those

336
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: goal one carries, that really improves his value. So I

337
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people are gonna be on him,

338
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: but I may have him in some in a few tournaments.

339
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: Philadelphia has been really good against the run so far

340
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: this season, and I've had a couple emails and tweets

341
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: thrown at me, even a review on our iTunes saying

342
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: that I'm busting on an Eagles defense too much. The

343
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: matter of the fact is they were by far the

344
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: worst run defense in the league last year. I know

345
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: they got a new coach, I know they made some changes,

346
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: they're a little healthier, but right now they're third in

347
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: stopping the run. That's not going to keep up. There's

348
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: gotta be some regression there. And look, I was wrong.

349
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: I was saying they were the worst run defense. Again,

350
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: it's pretty evident that they're not. But like you're saying,

351
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: this could be a sneaky contrarian play. I like theoretic

352
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: there for me. The guys, now that Latavius Murray's doubtful,

353
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: he's in the walking boot, it's Washington over in Oakland.

354
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: What do you think about him this week at that

355
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: real low price. Yeah, I mean he's getting more touches

356
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: each and every week, and that show only go up

357
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: this week with Latavius Murray out. So I like that call.

358
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: You know, I don't expect to be an every down player,

359
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: but I think he could see thirteen to sixteen touches,

360
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: which is definitely good against the Chargers. So I like

361
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: that call. Law, And we haven't really heard anything about

362
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: Matt Forte. He was carted off, went to the X

363
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: ray room and apparently he's gonna play, but is blalpal

364
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: is he could play this week just in case Fourte

365
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: doesn't suit up. Yeah, I mean, I think you want

366
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: to keep your eye on him. If Forte is unable

367
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: to go, Yeah, we'll probably have to wait until Sunday

368
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,239
Speaker 1: morning to know that one. And then finally, I want

369
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: to talk about Jeric McKinnon. Now, Jeric McKinnon is immensely talented.

370
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: If you just watched the film of this guy, he

371
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: could be an RB one. I've been talking about it

372
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: all preseason, and finally he's got the job. He started

373
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: off with two rough matchups, and he even looked good

374
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: last week against a good run defense. Now Houston's got

375
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: some big injuries on there on their defense, in Minnesota's

376
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: playing a home game. I think this game script sets

377
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: up well for McKinnon. He's a real cheap two four

378
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: thousand dollars on draft Kings. Do you think he could

379
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: just absolutely explode here? Yeah, definitely. I was hoping he

380
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't have a good game on Monday night against the Giants,

381
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: is because I wanted that ownership to stay low. But

382
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be pretty popular. Like he said,

383
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: he's very talented, and I don't think it's not much

384
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: of a hot take to say, you know, he's as

385
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: good as Adrian Peterson. At this point in their careers.

386
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, if you're just weird to think,

387
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: you know, can you start Adrian Peterson for a Grand

388
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: against the Texans? You do it every time? Right? That

389
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: is awesome. That is a serious hot take. I'm really

390
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: glad to hear you say that because it like kind

391
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: of confirms what I've been saying all year, Like this

392
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: guy is so good. If you guys haven't seen the

393
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: Vikings play this year, tune in watch that game, find

394
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: a way to see it, stream it online. Jerrick McKinnon

395
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: is a special talent. I mean, think a mirab Dullah,

396
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: but he can he can do a lot more than

397
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: a mirab Dula. He's got those crazy cuts. He's a

398
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: fantastic young talent. I'm looking forward to seeing what he

399
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: does in his career. Derek Who's another mid range player

400
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: that no one's really talking about that you think could

401
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: end up finishing the top three somehow. All Right, So

402
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: he's kind of in the upper tear. But I really

403
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: like the spot for C. J. Anderson at home against

404
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: the Falcons. Like we mentioned, their defense has not been

405
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: good this year. I haven't been able to stop the

406
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: run or the pass, and anytime c. J. Anderson is

407
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: a favorite at home. He got to like his chances.

408
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: He sees all the goal line work you should see

409
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: twenty plus touches, and I don't think a lot of

410
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: people are really on him. You know, a lot of

411
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: people have him ranked inside their top five in terms

412
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: of their running back rankings for the week, but I

413
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: haven't heard very much buzz about him from a DFS

414
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: point of view, So I think he's a really good player.

415
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: How do you feel about Ezekiel Elliot this week? He's

416
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: at home against Cincinnati. He's coming off two real good weeks,

417
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: and you know, I know Cincinnati's defense is a lot better,

418
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's the kind of of matchup

419
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: that you completely avoid. Ezekiel Elliott is one of the

420
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 1: top three most talented running backs in the NFL as

421
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned, based on what I've been seeing lately.

422
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: So do you think he could you know, be low

423
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: owned two five percent or something like that and then

424
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: have the number one week he does. He doesn't seem

425
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: to let anyone down yet. I mean, anybody that's played him,

426
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, has liked, you know, how he's fired, So

427
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: I think he'll be more popular than that. But even

428
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: if he's ten percent or so, I think I think

429
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: that's a good pick. Uh. You know, if you're talking

430
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: about a top three running back in terms of talent

431
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: and then you put him behind the best offensive line

432
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you know good things are going to

433
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: happen in regardless of the opponent. So I think that's

434
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: a good call too. If you guys are listening to

435
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: the show and enjoying it, please just jump over to iTunes,

436
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 1: take thirty seconds to subscribe and leave us a review.

437
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: Really helps us out a lot. All right, Derek, let's

438
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: move over and talk about wide receiver, and I've got

439
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: to start with Odell Beckham. This volatile attitude. Is it

440
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: worth the risk in cash games? I mean, it's a

441
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: great matchup and he's not a bad price considering his

442
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: skill set, But are you taking that risk? I don't

443
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: think I can do it in cash games. I'm gonna

444
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: have a ton of exposure to him in tournaments. Kind

445
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: of reminds me of last week when everyone else was

446
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: off of Julio Jones because he put up a dud

447
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: against the Saints and then he came back and had

448
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: that monster game. It seems like a lot of people

449
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: are gonna be off with Beckham this week, even though

450
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: it's a great matchup against the Packers. But yeah, I

451
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: mean the Giants came out today and said that if

452
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: he has another tantrum, they're going to consider suspending him

453
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: for a game or two themselves. So I mean it's

454
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: just really really risky right now. I wouldn't take him

455
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: in cash games, but him and Eli is one of

456
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: my favorite tournament pairings. Now if you need to save

457
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: money this week, who's a real cheap option with some

458
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: major upside at wide receiver. So this hinges on the

459
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: status of Dez Bryant, But I really like Bryce Butler.

460
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: Didn't practice Thursday, and Butler played more snaps than any

461
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,959
Speaker 1: wide receiver on the Cowboys last week. Played sixty two

462
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: of eighty snaps. He had nine targets, caught five balls

463
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: for forty one yards and a touchdown, and he could

464
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 1: have caught another touchdown. You know, not a great matchup

465
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati, but he's a big receiver. He's pretty much

466
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: the same size and wait as does and I think

467
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: he's going to get some red zone books. People who

468
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: have been listening to this podcast all year. They're gonna

469
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: laugh really hard when I say this, because I was

470
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: so low on this guy and it just kind of

471
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: became a mockery. But Doyle green Beckham, I know he

472
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: hasn't been getting a ton of snaps. I know he

473
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: hasn't been getting a ton of looks. But look, we

474
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: know this guy's an absolute freak in the red zone.

475
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: I think Carson Wentz is going to have a pretty

476
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: good week coming off that by it's a pretty decent matchup.

477
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: I can see multiple touchdowns coming his way. He doesn't

478
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: necessarily have to have a one hundred eaving yards or

479
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: anything like that to have a huge week. If you

480
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: put up two touchdowns, you're probably a top five or

481
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: six score, right, Yeah. I mean the problem is, I

482
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna do and get too touchdown man. Yeah, yeah,

483
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 1: it's very unlikely. But I mean, if you're taking chances

484
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: in GPP, there's worse guys to go to. Oh yeah,

485
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean if you need a really cheap guy, I

486
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: don't mind that. You know, he's got a lot of

487
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: upside and if you could break a long one, he

488
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: could be a difference maker for sure. Now, how about

489
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: one of these cheap Brady wide receivers. You know, Malcolm Mitchell,

490
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: who hasn't been playing as much, but you know they

491
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: haven't been in three wide receiver sets because they've been

492
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: running out j Kobe Brizzett or Danny Amandola, who we

493
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: still have a good week a couple of weeks ago.

494
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: Which of these guys do you think might be worth owning.

495
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna go Chris Hogan. There you go, Yeah, yeah,

496
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: I mean you can really take your pick. I mean,

497
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 1: the Patriots are gonna spread the ball around, a lot

498
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: of people are gonna get, you know, their production. But

499
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: I like Hogan. You've got Edelman running the underneath routes,

500
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: and I think you know he's gonna get some looks

501
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: in those intermediate routes. If you know, we know Brady,

502
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: he likes to lock into his receiver, So if he

503
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: gets something going with one of them, he's just going

504
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: to keep attacking that matchup. And so yeah, I mean,

505
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,479
Speaker 1: I like Para Nam with Edelman the most, but if

506
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm going off the board, I like Hogan a bit too.

507
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: Now I've got kind of a fiery question. It came

508
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: into my email inbox and I thought I've got to

509
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: ask Derek about this one. He'll have a much better

510
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: answer than me. If a wide receiver like Michael Crabtree

511
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: has a huge week, does it correlate the success the

512
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: following week. I don't think so. I mean usually when

513
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: that happens, you know, they have a letdown week the

514
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: next week or and they tend to be over owned

515
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: in DFS, So whenever that happens, I usually try to

516
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: avoid him, unless the matchups just so good that you can't.

517
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: And the terms of Crabtree, you know, he's only sixty

518
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: nine hundred on fan too us. I mean, he's gonna

519
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: be popular, and I think he's still in a good spot.

520
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: He's certainly playable. But for a guy like Julio Jones

521
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: coming off that three hundred yard game, you know he's

522
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: gonna be over owned. He's got to tearle matchups. I'm

523
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: getting off of Julio this week. You know, I was

524
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: studying our projected ownership data that we've been putting out

525
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: there just so I can figure out, like if we're

526
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: missing somewhere and where we are missing, so that we

527
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: can figure out how to fix it. In almost every

528
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: circumstance where we're missing. It's because a player the previous

529
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: week had a huge week and so everyone's really high

530
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 1: on him, and then typically it looks like the guy

531
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: goes backwards where the player had a terrible leak week,

532
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: like Julio Jones put up the stinker and Calvin Benjamin,

533
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, put up the doughnut a couple of weeks ago,

534
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: and then everyone's afraid to play him. And we know

535
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: that that's you know, people say that that happens, but

536
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: how extreme it is, it's just absolutely absurd to me.

537
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to play the matchups and the

538
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: factors and all that stuff every week. You can't just say, well,

539
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: he was good last week, so his entire career trajectory

540
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: must have completely changed in one week, right, Yeah, And

541
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: I think going off the crab Street thing, I think

542
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: this could be a good week to buy low an

543
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. Everyone's just hating the guy right now, saying

544
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: he's you know, they're wide or two or three or

545
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: something crazy like that. You know, but he's had a

546
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: couple of big plays called back and he stepped out

547
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: of bounds on one, and it's only amount of time

548
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: before he breaks out. And if you can get him

549
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: at a fifth of the ownership as Crabtree. I'll take

550
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: my chances anytime with that. So there's not as much

551
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: volatility at the wide receiver position we tend to see.

552
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: You know, some of these elite wide receivers tend to

553
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: be in the top three or four, but every once

554
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: in a while one of these contrarian players sneaks in.

555
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: It was Marvin Jones a couple of weeks ago, who's

556
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: really emerging. We got to be honest about that. And

557
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs, who is another emerging player, probably a late

558
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver two in standard fantasy leagues. But who's one

559
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 1: of these mid tier guys that you could see just

560
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: exploding this week? I'm gonna go with Brandon Marshall. Eric

561
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: Decker didn't play last week, and he didn't practice on Thursday.

562
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: It sounds like he's closer to doubtful than questionable. And

563
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: with Decker out, Brandon Marshall saw a twenty nine percent

564
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: Marcus share. We know Ryan Fitzpatrick's been terrible, but he

565
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: loves to throw the ball to Marshall, especially when Decker's out,

566
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: and you know, we saw a pretty good game from

567
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: him last week. You finally looked a little bit of help,

568
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: a little bit healthier, caught four passes for ninety t

569
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown against a very tough Seattle secondary.

570
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: And they're going to come into this game against Pittsburgh.

571
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to keep up. You're gonna have a

572
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: score points to keep up, and it should be a

573
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: good game flow for him. I think he could see

574
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen targets or so. So at seventy six

575
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: hundred on Fandel seventy one hundred on draft Kings, I

576
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: think there's a decent chance he could end up being

577
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: a top two or three receiver. There's two wide receivers

578
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: here that kind of stand out to me. Jarvis Landry

579
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: and Emmanuel Sanders have both been having very good years.

580
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: They're getting a ton of targets. You know, Damary's Thomas

581
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: hasn't really been himself. He's questionable again. He's going up

582
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: against Atlanta's defense. So I think Sanders could be any

583
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: for a huge week. Jarvis Landry is going up against

584
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee and you know they're gonna be able to stop

585
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: the run, especially with whatever's going on in that in

586
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: that Dolphins backfield. So I think Ryan Tannehill airs it

587
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: out and Jarvis Landry's really is only guy. I mean,

588
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: I know you've got Davonte Parker, but it's just it's

589
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: really not even close. Landry is far and away Tannehill's

590
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: favorite target. They don't have much going on in the

591
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: running game out of the backfield with passing and their

592
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: tight end. Cameron's probably out again with a concussion, so

593
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: I think Landry could put up the most targets this week.

594
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, you know, there's always a

595
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: lot of upside there. Our ownership projections right now have

596
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: these guys at nine and ten percent. Do you think

597
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: they're under owned at that at that spot? Oh yeah,

598
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: I definitely wanted to be over or have more exposure

599
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: than that compared to the field. I'm looking at my

600
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: spreadsheet right now and both of them at Alisa market

601
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: share of thirty three percent, which is just massive. So

602
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: I like to call them, both of those guys, especially

603
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: with Fonta Parker and Marius Thomas banged up a little bit.

604
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: Now we know the Redskins secondary has been very bad,

605
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: even though they added Josh Norman their twenty seventh in

606
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: against wide receivers and giving up fantasy points. So who

607
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: do you like out of here? Steve Smith's been getting

608
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: a lot of targets, but Mike Wallace has been really

609
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: good this season. We know by Schard Perriman can break out.

610
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: It is there one guy that you're targeting out of

611
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens Wide receiver corps, And yeah, I'd probably just listen,

612
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, the b reporters see if Norman's going to

613
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: follow shadow any of these guys. If that's the case,

614
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: I'd obviously go with the opposite of Steve Smith or

615
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace. But but as of right now, I think

616
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace is the play. You know, Steve Smith, I mean,

617
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: he's been awesome, but he's yeah, I don't know. I mean,

618
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: he's just hard to trust a guy that's that hold

619
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: coming off that type of injury. Yeah, yeah, you're exactly

620
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: right about that. I still like Steve Smith just because

621
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: I think the volume is going to be there. But man,

622
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace, we know what he can do in GPP

623
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: and it it is exciting now Over in that San

624
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: Diego Chargers receiver corps again, it's an absolute mass Keenan

625
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: Allen's gone, Danny Woodheads not catching fasses anymore. So someone's

626
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: got to catch passes against this Oakland Writer's defense, right,

627
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: Who's it going to be? Yeah, I don't know. I

628
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: mean it seems like every week someone else breaks out.

629
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: You know, Travis Benjamin had his big week, and then

630
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: Tyrol Williams and then last week with dontre in Man.

631
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: So I mean it's really tough to predict at this point.

632
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: I think if you want exposure to this game, I'd

633
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: rather go with the naked Philip Rivers and then that way,

634
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: you know, you just get good exposure to all of

635
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: his weapons. So yeah, I mean it's tough. Let's move

636
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: over to tight end. I want to talk about Gronk.

637
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: I know everyone's afraid to play him. He already burned

638
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: me once this season. Is he actually going to play

639
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: enough to be startable in DFS? So last week he

640
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: played enough snaps to be startable. He played sixty seven percent,

641
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: but he only ran thirteen pass routes. I think that

642
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: had to do more with you know, their quarterback, and

643
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: they were just trying to run the ball the entire game,

644
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: even though they were down, they didn't really throw the

645
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: ball a lot. So I think with Tom Brady Brack,

646
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: He's going to be running a lot more pass routes.

647
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: I don't expect him to get over one hundred yards,

648
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: but I definitely think a two touchdown game is in

649
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: the realm of possibility. So I think this is the

650
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: first week that he's playable in DFS. So in order

651
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: to be the top tight end in fantasy points, you

652
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: almost have to score two touchdowns every week. There's gonna

653
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: be five or six guys who put up, you know,

654
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: fifty to eighty receiving yards in a touchdown, but those

655
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: two touchdowns that'll really put you over the top. Since

656
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: no one's getting one hundred and forty receiving yards from

657
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: tight end. So who's it going to be this week?

658
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: Who's someone that could finish with multiple touchdowns at the position?

659
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna go with Delaney Walker going up

660
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. He was a hot commodity a few

661
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and then he had a subpar game last

662
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: week coming back from his injury. But he's still the

663
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: Titans best wired out pretty much, and the Dolphins are

664
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: ranked thirtieth and DVOA against tight ends this season. As

665
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: prices come down a bit across the industry, and you know,

666
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: we know he's a target monster when he's healthy, So

667
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: I think he's an interesting player. Gary Barnage hasn't really

668
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: been doing anything, and look, I know they have Cody Kessler,

669
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: but the New England Patriots are going to have a

670
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: huge lead in this game, so they're the Browns are

671
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: just gonna have to pass the ball. And Prior is

672
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: going to be shadowed by Butler. I talked about this

673
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: last episode, and I know they moved Prior around the field,

674
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: Like I get that, but I think Barnege is due

675
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: for a bunch of targets. Do you like Barnee this week? Yeah?

676
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: He wasn't really on my radar before the show, but

677
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: I like all the points you make, especially with trelle

678
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: Pryor being by brother. So yeah, like you mentioned, they're

679
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: going to be thrown a lot and he's basically playing

680
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: all the snaps and so yeah, I think he could

681
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: see upwards of ten targets in this now. Is there

682
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: a tight end that you consider super safe for cash games?

683
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: I know Kyle Rudolph mcgetting a lot of looks and

684
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: a lot of mentions this week. Is he a got

685
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: you likers or someone else? Yeah? So I think it's

686
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: another good week to punt the position. And you know

687
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: a lot of these cheaper plays kind of are hinging

688
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: on different injuries. I mean, Zach Miller didn't practice, but

689
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: I like his matchup against the Colts. Hunter Henry's going

690
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: to be a great play if Gates is unable to

691
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: suit up, and then Zach Ertz is coming back from

692
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: his injury. We know, we like Carson Wentz, and we

693
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: know how talented Urch is, and then you mentioned Rudolph,

694
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of great plays just right in

695
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: this same price range. It's really going to come down

696
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: to the injuries for me. But yeah, I think it's

697
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: a great week and to punt the tight end position.

698
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: One GP people tight end that I'm really excited about

699
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: is Richard Rogers, just because anybody the Aaron Rodgers could

700
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: be thrown the ball too, especially at that price. Seems

701
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: like a good play in a week where it makes

702
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: sense to punt the tight end and spend up on

703
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: some of these guys, you know, Levan Bell, Todd Gurley,

704
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: have you at the wide receiver position. You could buy

705
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: a guy like Richard Rogers, who you know, he's so

706
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: cheap and he just picks up a touchdown or two.

707
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: You know, we know Aaron Rodgers probably gonna have two, three,

708
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: maybe four or five touchdowns, and maybe one of those

709
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: will go to Rogers. Randall Cobb hasn't been much of

710
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: an asset. They're coming off the buy and I think

711
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: it could be a good week for the Packers' offense. Yeah,

712
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: I like that call. He's a little more Priceyon Fando,

713
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: but only twenty nine hundred dollars on DraftKings, So yeah,

714
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: I like that. All right, over to defense, who's a

715
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: contrarian play that could force a bunch of turnovers this weekend.

716
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Dolphins. Who wanted to go

717
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: with the Steelers against the Jets and Ryan Fitzpatrick, but

718
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: everyone seems to be talking about the Steelers, so I

719
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: had to mix it up a little bit. Anyway, Dolphins

720
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: very cheap across the industry. They're favored at home, which

721
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: I always like to look for my defense. They have

722
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: the best adjusted sackray in the NFL, which was a

723
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: bit surprising to me. And then streaming defenses against the

724
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: Titans has just been very profitable the first four weeks

725
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: of the season, So yeah, I like the Dolphin. I

726
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: kind of got burned by the Dolphins the other week

727
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: they were playing, I think it was the Browns, and

728
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: I thought that they were going to force a bunch

729
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: of turnovers and it didn't quite work out that way.

730
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: Marcus Marriott is a totally different story than Cody Kestler,

731
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: who's you know, of the Alex Smith mold. He's he's

732
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: trained to hold onto the ball. He's not going to

733
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: be trying to make a bunch of plays, and so

734
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, I definitely get that pick this week. One

735
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: that I think is really intriguing. I talked about this

736
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: on the Wednesday show when we were talking about season

737
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: long rankings. For the week, I'm picking up the Indianapolis

738
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: Colts for a streaming playing season long league. So you know,

739
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: I could see slipping them into a GPP lineup against

740
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: the Bears. They're going to be throwing the ball a lot.

741
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer has no regard for just slinging the ball

742
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: wherever if there's two or three people, the gardeners guys

743
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: and and like you said, all his wide receivers are hurt.

744
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: So this could be one of those weird matchups where

745
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: the Colts have only good defensive performance of the season.

746
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm not banking on I'm not playing him in cash games.

747
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: The team that I am playing in cash games is

748
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And look, I know that the Los

749
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams are three and one. I would not be

750
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: the least bit surprised if they finished three and thirteen.

751
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: This is a bad team they have. They have case

752
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: Keenum at quarterback, who fumbles the ball as much as

753
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: anybody in the history of the NFL. It seems like

754
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: hezros a ton of picks. Their offensive line is in shambles.

755
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: I know I already mentioned Todd Gurley's going to have

756
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: a big week, at least I think so. But you know,

757
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 1: even if he does have a big week, it comes

758
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: down to turnovers, and I think the Los Angeles Rams

759
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: are going to be a turnover prone team the rest

760
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: of the season. Yeah, I like that call. I definitely

761
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: wouldn't use Girle in the Bills together kind of working

762
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: against each other, But yeah, I think that's a good,

763
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: good pick. I think Keenum could turn the ball over

764
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: quite a bit. My favorite defense is probably the Vikings.

765
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: They've just been awesome so far this season. They're favored

766
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: by six and Texans are the lowest implied team total

767
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: on the board. The Vikings have already fours, eleven and

768
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: overs and they're playing at home, so I think it's

769
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: a good spot for them. Do you think they'll be

770
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: the most owned defense or do you think it'll be

771
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I think it'll be close, but I think

772
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: everyone's going to gravitate toward the Vikings. All right, Derek,

773
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: let's finish this up. Talk about some stacks. If you

774
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 1: had to pick one stack for cash games, which team

775
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: do you trust the most? All right? So we talked

776
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: about him earlier. I'm on team Brady this week, and

777
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: I like pairing them up with Julian Edelman, especially in

778
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: full PPR sites. I think it's a great spot for

779
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: this passing offense. We know the Browns are terrible, we

780
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: know the Patriots have a point to prove. We know

781
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: Brady's angry. There's a lot of reasons like them. What

782
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: about you, I don't know how you can go against

783
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I mean, you know, Belichick and Brady're gonna

784
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: try to run up the score. There's it's just gonna happen.

785
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: But as far as stacks go, I think Brady just

786
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: spreads the ball around so much that I'm afraid to

787
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: use them in GPP, just because I don't mind using

788
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: Brady and GPP. But I don't know which wide receiver

789
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: to pick. I'man sure maybe someone will have two or

790
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, but more likely it's going to be five

791
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: separate guys with one touchdown. So the stack guy like

792
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: is the Green Bay Packers. I think that that's going

793
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: to be a shootout of a game. And that's what

794
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: I like to look for in my stacks, is you

795
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: know who's going to be the team that needs to

796
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: pass the ball in the fourth quarter because it's still

797
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: a close game. So I like Aaron Rodgers. I love

798
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson this week. I don't care how many people

799
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: are guarding him. Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson just have

800
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,439
Speaker 1: it going on. And so I already mentioned I don't

801
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: I don't mind using Rodgers. I think he's going to

802
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: be pretty low owned, and so you know, if he

803
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 1: grabs a touchdown or two and Jordy Nelson does Aaron

804
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: Rodgers and that stack, it could put you at the top.

805
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys that could put you at

806
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: the top. But that's the one I trust the most. Yeah,

807
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: and I didn't even consider to throwing becommended that stack

808
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: as well. You know, one of the most correlated things

809
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: is posing quarterbacks. So when one quarterback goes off, the

810
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: other one tends to go off as well. And the

811
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: only way you can get exposure to that is by

812
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: targeting the opposing wide receiver one. So I definitely like that, Derek,

813
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: that that's a really great point. I'm glad you brought

814
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: that one up. Let's close with this question, which contrarian

815
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: stack could lead to a million dollar lineup this weekend?

816
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: So all three of these players are going to be

817
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: highly owned individually, but I don't think very many people

818
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: are going to go with the full Big Ben, Levion

819
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: and Antonio stack. You know, the three of them are

820
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: so expensive it's going to be hard to fit them

821
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: all in the same lineup. But we've seen them take

822
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: down millionaire makers twice last year, you know, just because

823
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: their whole offense basically runs through Bell and Antonio and

824
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: oftentimes they're coming from touchdowns from Big Ben. So they're

825
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: my favorite contrarian stack. You know, a lot of people

826
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: are going to be on Ben and Antonio and Ben

827
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: and Bell, but it's going to be tough for people

828
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: to stomach Roster and all three of them. For me,

829
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not sure how contrarian this is, because

830
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are going to use

831
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 1: Horriors since he's such a good value. But I really

832
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: like this Bear stack. They're gonna have to try to

833
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: keep up with the Colts and they shouldn't have any problem.

834
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: It's going to end up being a close game. I

835
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: think the Colts will win, but I want to be

836
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: surprised all off the Bears end up score thirty plus points,

837
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: and you know, with their price points, Brian Horrier is

838
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 1: so cheap. I think Alshan Jeffrey is just going to

839
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 1: get completely peppered with targets. And then I like Jordan

840
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: Howard and you already mentioned him out of the backfield.

841
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: He's going to get a bunch of touches too. So

842
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: I could see those three guys combining for you know,

843
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: near one hundred points, and at those prices, that is

844
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: an incredible value. Yeah, I like that as well. All right, Derek,

845
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: Well that's all the questions we have for you this week.

846
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: I really appreciate you coming on and good luck. This weekend. Yeah,

847
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on a lot of fun and

848
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: good luck to you too, all right, take care, and

849
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: then wraps up the podcast for this week. Next week,

850

Speaker 1: Thanks for listening, and enjoy your football. I don't even

856
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: know how to get street barks, like Dog said, gigging

857
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: and begging and saying desiring up trouble
