Welcome to Week seventeen, a special 6 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm Paul Charchi and my 7 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: co host is Brian Johnson. We made it to the 8 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: fantasy off season. We did it is it's it's the 9 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: fantasy off season, even if it's not even I guess 10 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: the I wouldn't even call the time in the playoffs, 11 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: regular reality season, fantasy off season exactly. And I didn't 12 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: think we were gonna make it here. To be honest 13 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: with you, I don't know. I don't know about your 14 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: wind back to August. Look, but hey, and give the 15 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: NFL credit. Man. They just said we're gonna power through this. 16 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: And there are a lot of people that said, oh no, 17 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: that's wrong. What do you want to do? Do you infect? 18 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: You know, infect all the players? You want to give 19 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: thirty two teams COVID you know what they you know? 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: To their credit, it wasn't always a smooth ride and 21 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people that do a lot of adapting, 22 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: including fantasy owners. But at the end of the day, 23 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: the NFL had it right. They can get through the playoffs. 24 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: About any major hiccups too, we don't want to jink 25 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: them now. How from a fantasy perspective, we don't care 26 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: what we're done. Mostly yes, uh ex some weeks seventeen seasonal, 27 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: it's over. If you're playing it. You know, as you 28 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: guys already know if you're listening to podcast, if you're 29 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: playing your Fantasy championship in weeks seventeen, you're doing it wrong. 30 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: But we believe this is a great opportunity for daily 31 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports, and that's we're going to just spend most 32 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: of this podcast talking about some angles that we like 33 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,279 Speaker 1: for DFS. Um Some people don't even know what DFS 34 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: stands for. I just think I think that makes sense. 35 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: I think there's a great opportunity for DFS players in 36 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: weeks seventeen, Brian, because some percentage of the people that 37 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: are playing this week, they're not even really paying five 38 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: ten percent aren't paying close enough attention to all the 39 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: things that shift in week seventeen. You gotta really pay 40 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: close attention in Week seventeen. Well, let's dialing back really quick. 41 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: Just for anyone who doesn't know what daily Fantasy sports is. 42 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: Most do. But if you don't, if you happen to 43 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: not know, it's whatever you know about fantasy football marries 44 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: up to DFS in the lineup that you set is 45 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: very similar. One quarterback to running backs, blah blah blah. 46 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: The scoring is very similar to what you're used to. 47 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: But where it's different is you build your team with 48 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: a fake salary cap. Most sites it's fifty dollars. You 49 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: use that, and every player has a price tag attached 50 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: to him. The better ones are more expensive, the ones 51 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: who aren't as good are cheaper, so you can't just 52 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: load up on all the good players. That's DFS in 53 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: a nutshell, all right, And what I think there's do 54 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: you want to go beyond that and explain, you know, 55 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: game theory stuff like that, Well, real quick, we won't 56 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: go we won't get too hand holding, we won't get 57 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 1: too heavy. But when we talk about some players we 58 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: like this week, we're gonna say they are a good 59 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: tournament play or a cash game play. There's generally two 60 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: kinds of games, and daily Fantasy sports there's tournaments, and 61 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: those are the big contests where there's a first place, 62 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: a second place, a third place, all the way down 63 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: the line, and those are the contests where you really well, 64 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: those are the tournaments. Then the cash games are the 65 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: head to heads or the fifty fifties where either you're 66 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: playing against one person or half of the people in 67 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: the contest win. And in those contests, you just kind 68 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: of want to stay with the pack, you know what 69 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: I mean. You don't want to differentiate, you don't want 70 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: to get too contrarian. I'm throwing a lot of buzzwords 71 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: out there. You don't want to use leverage plays. You 72 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: just kinda you go with the best plays basically in 73 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: cash games, but in tournaments you got a straight from 74 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: the pack. At times you got a zig while other zag. 75 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: You can't just go with all the chalky best plays 76 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: or you're flat out it's not gonna win a tournament 77 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: because there's too many people. Many people, so you know, 78 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: there might be a thousand people in the tournament or 79 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: twenty thousand people in the tournament. So if you just 80 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: if you play everything normal, you're not going to stand 81 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: especially if you only have one or two line up 82 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: because you're going upup against guys that have a hundred 83 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: lineups and they're they're using all all of the pular place, 84 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: so you have to zig while other zag. All right, 85 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: is there any other daily Fantasy sports one oh one 86 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: that you think our listeners need to know right now 87 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: at before we get started. I would say they call 88 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: it a game of skill, it's still gambling. Don't put 89 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: up money that you're not comfortable losing in DFS because 90 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: it is very hard to win in DFS, especially in tournaments. 91 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: DFS and fantasy does not meet the legal definition of gambling. 92 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: Let me be extremely clear about this. What Brian just 93 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: said is wrong. It is not gambling, just an opinion. 94 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: It is you, but you are putting your cash at risk, 95 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: but it is not cofinition of gambling. Black and white 96 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: not gambling. Let's talk about some of the NFL teams 97 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: you need to avoid as you're putting together your your 98 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: your daily Fantasy rosters. And now when you're playing on 99 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: most sites, you can literally remove these teams from your 100 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: player pool by n clicking them in the matchups above, 101 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: and I suggest doing that because you do not want 102 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: any of these guys in any of your TFS lineups 103 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: these teams. The Steelers have announced they're resting their starters. 104 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: The Chiefs have announced they're resting their starters. Because the 105 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: Steelers arresting their starters, they're effectively giving up on the 106 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: number two seed, which means Buffalo is going to have 107 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: the number two seed, which means Buffalo doesn't have to 108 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,559 Speaker 1: play their starters either. So there's a lot of danger 109 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: with them. And then one other team that I think 110 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: you I would just play a void is Tampa. They 111 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: can only move from the fifth seed to the sixth seed, 112 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: and both of those are first round road games, and 113 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: the Bucks may just decide we don't know yet. Bucks 114 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: may just decide we don't care enough between the fifth 115 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: seed and the sixth seeds, so it doesn't matter, and 116 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: we'd rather just rest our starters that that's a better 117 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: advantage for us. There's one small angle that they might 118 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: want to target the NFC East team, right, but you 119 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: could try to target you could try to target that 120 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: NFC East team. Let me throw one more thing in here, 121 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,239 Speaker 1: because when the morning wave of games is over on Sunday, 122 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: that's going to alter how some teams may handle their 123 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: games in the afternoon sleep. So you always here in 124 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: seasonal leagues on Thursday, right. Never if you have Thursday players, 125 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: never put him in your flex spot. You want to 126 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: put him in your running back or wide receiver spot. 127 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: That's definitely true. It's more so true in Daily Fantasy Sports. 128 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: Even if all the teams are playing, all the players 129 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: are playing on the same day, make sure you have 130 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: your latest start time in that flex spot. Even if 131 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: it's your favorite player in your lineup and you're like, 132 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: he's my favorite running back, don't PLoP him in at 133 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: running back. Put him in and your flex spot, whether 134 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: it's a running back, a wide receiver, even a tight end. 135 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: The latest spot, the latest start always in your flex 136 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: butt in DFS, especially in COVID times because players get 137 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: scratched right before the game. Look at des Brian and 138 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: you want to leave yourself ultimate flexibility. Okay, so back 139 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: to some of the teams that you're talking about, the 140 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: teams you don't want to target. The teams that are 141 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: highly motivated to win on Sunday are Cleveland. Uh, they'll 142 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: be going up against the Steelers, a team with backups 143 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: as we mentioned, and for Cleveland, it's not only a 144 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: playoff spot. It's a win over a hated division rival 145 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: who has dominated the brown for like twenty years. So 146 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: you know this. I think the Browns are gonna be 147 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: up for this. Tennessee needs a win for the division 148 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: title and home game in Round one. Highly motivated team. 149 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: They at Jacksonville Ravens have a winning in scenario and 150 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: if they lose, they likely go home, so they are 151 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: highly motivated. Indie needs a win and help. Green Bay 152 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: looks to lock up home field with a win, so 153 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: they'll be motivated. New Orleans can leap frog Green Bay 154 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: to the number one seed with a win and some help. 155 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: Packers can go so keep there. You could argue the 156 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: vikings of their biggest rival. They would keep the Bears 157 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: out of the playoffs two if they win that game. 158 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: Although if you're the Packers, I want the Bears a 159 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: fair point and I want to I seriously, I want 160 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: the Bears in in the playoffs. That is a that's 161 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: a team you can beat. Uh. We mentioned New Orleans. 162 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: I believe that can leap frog Green Bay. Washington needs 163 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: can they win. They're inna win in scenario, so and lose. 164 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: If they lose, they go home. So highly motivated. Team there, 165 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: but that's a tough offense to find helping. Uh Rams 166 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: need a John Wolford lead, a win over in Arizona 167 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: or a loss by Chicago to Green Bay. So there 168 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: they will be playing to win, but they'll be doing 169 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,559 Speaker 1: without their starting quarterback, their best receiver, and two running backs. 170 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: So bad news the Rams. Chicago's gotta win. In scenario 171 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: Dallas needs a win and help and the Giants need 172 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: to win and help. Um they play each other. So 173 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: it's a lot of teams that are highly motivated for 174 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: playoff positioning. Now let's talk about some of the players 175 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: that that caught our I especially by the dollar at 176 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: the quarterback position. Brian go ahead, Uh well, I like 177 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill a lot, and how can you not. He's 178 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: up against the Texans who have packed it in. Well, 179 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: they packed it in last year essentially for this season, 180 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: and in Tannehill has played Houston already had sixty four 181 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: passing yards four touchdowns against the Texans in Week six. 182 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: I mean Brandon Allen just had three seventy yards and 183 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: two touchdowns for the Bengals against the Texans last year. Now, 184 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: now Tan Hills not chep seven k on d K 185 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: that's uh, you know, six seventh pricest quarterback. But I 186 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: don't see his ownership percentage being super high because of 187 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: the running back on that team we're going to talk about. Finally, 188 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: just pivot him for a second. So Derrick Henry is 189 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: and this is the most favorable matchup of his year, 190 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: and it's a must win scenario. Yeah, so you have 191 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: to make I think you have to make a decision 192 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: on whether or not you're gonna go in on on 193 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. Yeah. In cash games, he's a guy that 194 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: pretty much everyone's gonna plug into their lineup in a 195 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: fifty fifty or a double up where you just have 196 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: to essentially come in the top half of your league. 197 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: Double ups or doubles is more like to But yeah, 198 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: in in a tournament play and I only see very expensive. 199 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: But if he goes belly up, you're screwed because you've 200 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: spent all your monum. So to answer your question, if 201 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: you're playing one lineup in a g PP, I would 202 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: not play Derrick Henry. I think his ownership percentage will 203 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: still be high because it's a really good matchup against 204 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: an awful, awful run defense, and he has proven success 205 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: over them year in and year out. All right, so 206 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: I would I would get back to Hill. So at 207 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: the contrarian angle then is is too, are you stacking Titans? Yeah? 208 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: I would gain even more leverage by not playing Derrick Henry. 209 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: And if Derrick Henry doesn't hit his five six times 210 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: value and that's basically you multiply his salary by five 211 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: or six and you get that many fantasy points. Yeah, 212 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: I would stack a J. Brown, who I believe has 213 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: four touchdowns in three career games against the Texans, and 214 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: uh maybe even throw what we'll talk about Titans a 215 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: little later, your boy John you Smith in there. But 216 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: uh yeah, that's how you gain leverage, not just talking 217 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: to uh titan's in any If you feel a player 218 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: is gonna be super high owned, and that's a running back, 219 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: then your your leverage plays either the running back from 220 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: the other team or the passing game from that same team. 221 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: And uh and that's the instance here, I think Henry 222 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: is gonna be ownership and uh so, yeah, the leverage 223 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: playby Tannehill and his receivers. I am really intrigued by 224 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. He's only dollars, uh that and he's my 225 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: number six rand quarterback because the Steelers have nothing to 226 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 1: play for. I think this is this is the stack 227 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: I would put into a bigger tournament. Uh, to differentiate myself, 228 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: I would be And you're gonna hear more Browns come 229 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: up later on in the show. I like Baker Mayfield 230 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: dollars instead of the seven thousand that Tan Hill. Yeah, 231 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: he comes in cheaper, and then last week we didn't 232 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: have any of his wide receivers. So yeah, yeah, the 233 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: books to sees Pittsburgh, but they're not factoring in how 234 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: bad that defense is going to be depleted personally right 235 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: right and if Steelers just don't have anything to play for. 236 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: So I think that's a good angle. Are there any 237 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: other quarterbacks you want to talk about? Yeah? And this 238 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: is a pretty much a meeting, meaningless game between the 239 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: Lions and the Vikings. But I like Cousins at sixty hundred. 240 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: He won't have his left tackle. But the Lions are 241 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: probably the least motivated team out there. They're gonna be 242 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: without a lot of players. And uh, Cousins at two hundred, 243 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: twenty three yards and three touchdowns against Detroit in Week 244 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: nine on just twenty past attempts, and they're gonna be Samsdalvin, Cook, 245 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: Alexander and Madison not guaranteed to play. They got Justin 246 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 1: Jefferson chasing the Rookie of the Year award essentially, and 247 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: Kirk's is gonna want to shut up the haters one 248 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: more time this year, and I just see him. The 249 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: Vikings should have fun in this game with their skill players. 250 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: I don't see why they would not, so uh by injuries. 251 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: This game might get overlooked because it's totally meaningless to 252 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: both teams. So I like Cousins, and again, it's a 253 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: very stackable team with Jefferson and even feeling too all right, 254 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: let's go to the running back position. Um, we talked 255 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: about Derrick Henry. We're mostly saying we I think we 256 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: can find better value elsewhere, and you know, I'd love 257 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: to have Derrick Henry, but I'm not. So Let's talk 258 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: about some of the other guys you like, beginning with 259 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: David Montgomery. Yeah, David Montgomery has arguably the ceiling just 260 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: about as high as Henry. He's outperformed performed Henry last week, 261 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: and Henry had the better matchup in Montgomery essentially underperformed 262 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: even though he hit twenty points. He didn't score touchdown, 263 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 1: and we did score, but he didn't get hundred yards. 264 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: People were expecting a bigger game from from Montgomery last week, 265 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: but he should have a great game against green Bay. 266 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 1: He did in week twelve, had a hundred and three 267 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: yards on just eleven carries. He added forty receiving yards 268 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: and receiving touchdown. The path of least resistance against the 269 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: Packers is still against the run. Derrick Henry's improved that 270 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: against Green Bay last week, but the game script got 271 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: flipped upside down on Tennessee and Chicago has a chance 272 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: to win this game. Packers will be without David back 273 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: try and uh, yeah, Chicago and keep Rogers off the field, 274 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: and they're gonna feed Montgomery heavily. So at seventy seven hundred, 275 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: almost two thousand less than Henry, Montgomery's a guylking tournaments. Uh, 276 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: talk to me about Miles Gaskin. This is a game 277 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: in which two is going to get the start. Uh, 278 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot of people that have 279 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: a lot of trepidation about starting to in this in 280 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: this matchup. And I would and I'd be if I 281 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: were the Dolphins, I'd be orienting towards the running game 282 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: here and Gaskin got almost all the work last week 283 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,599 Speaker 1: with Savant Akhmed and Acumed got the start, and you 284 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: could tell they were kind of wanting to maybe a 285 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: fifty fifty split, but Gasking just so much better that 286 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: would never saw the field essentially after the first quarter. 287 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: And again, this is one of those very motivated teams 288 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: in Miami playing against a very unmotivated Buffalo team, and 289 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: Gasking is a very moderately price that. This is a 290 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: guy I think you'll see is somewhat popular in both 291 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: cash games and tournaments, but at that price in this 292 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: expected workload, that was the first game we're acumented and Gasking. 293 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: We're both healthy too, and Gasting just blow him out 294 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: of the water when it comes to playing time. So 295 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: I think he's a guy that I would up lock 296 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: into most lineups, regardless of playing tournaments or cash games. 297 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: This week heavily owned player might be Ty Johnson of 298 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: the Jets, because he's the starting running back for the 299 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: Jets against the Patriots run defense that has packed it in, 300 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: giving a five and a half yards per carry over 301 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: the last three weeks. Uh, Ty Johnson, and we've got 302 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: so Frank Gore's out, uh and La Michael p Ryan 303 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: is on the COVID list. So it's gonna be all 304 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: Thy Johnson in this game. And he's had one other 305 00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: game where he had a workhorse role and in that 306 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: game we got twenty two carries. He put up a 307 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: hundred four rushing yards and a touchdown on the Raiders. Yeah, 308 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: that's when Gore got hurt in like the first carry. 309 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: I remember I was heavy on Frank Gore that week, 310 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: so I remember that week. Well, Johnson did well. Yeah 311 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: as Raiders, and then Johnson did well when Gore came back. 312 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: Even though Gore got all the carries, he had six 313 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: catches and a touchdown the following week. So yeah, he 314 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: can play for sure. And now he's only he's gonna 315 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: be a lot of people are happening in both cash 316 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: games and tournaments, so he's not a full on fade. 317 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: But when it's it's tough to pass on a bell 318 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: cow running back at this price. But if you have 319 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: the stones too, and we'll talk about a leverage play 320 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: very shortly on the Jets. If you're not gonna go 321 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: with Thi Johnson, but Chi Johnson went to the bed, 322 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: you have a huge edge on the field. Even even 323 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: though he was so cheap. His ownership percentage projects to 324 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: be very high. But I would come in personally owning 325 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: him less than the thirty. He'll probably be owned by 326 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: the field by only owning him. Like two of my 327 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: ten lineups per se, Alexander Madison looks to me the 328 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: vi Kings lead back with Dalvin Cook out. He goes 329 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: up against the Lions, a team allowing the fifth most 330 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: rushing yards, fifth most receiving yards to oppose it running backs, 331 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: and Dalvin Cook destroyed them when they met earlier in 332 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: this season. Um, they're the Vikings. If you want to 333 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: go contrain. You talked about Cousins, and we do like 334 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: the passing game here, but it's still the Vikings. They're 335 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: never going to give up on the running game completely, 336 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: and they could make if they could decide. Coaching staff 337 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: could decide, we want to protect our most valuable players, 338 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Adam Thiel, and Justin Jefferson. We're just gonna 339 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: run Alexander Madison in this gamp. Yeah. One of the 340 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: most common mistakes in fantasy football, whether it's daily or season, 341 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: is a backup running back gets the starting job for 342 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: whatever reason, the suspension, injury, and you just assume he's 343 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: going to perform like the starter did. That's usually not 344 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: the case, but that's kind of the case with Alexander 345 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: Madison when he's gotten the opportunity. So yeah, I love 346 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: the Madison play. He'll probably be another very popular cash 347 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: game option because he seems like a very safe play. 348 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: I don't think his own ship percentage will be as 349 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: high in tournaments because people will want to differentiate and 350 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: there's a little worry because he's questionable, they might give 351 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: Mike Boone some run runs. So, uh, we have Madison 352 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: certainly in play this week. We expect Madison to be 353 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: available here. What do you think about Kareem Hunt, who 354 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: I've added to our discussion list here at fifty hundred 355 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: dollars And we talked about Browns earlier. They've got a 356 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: you know, they've got a matchup against the Steelers team 357 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: that's not got it doesn't have anything to play for. 358 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: We saw Jonathan Taylor and Giovanni Bernard both put up 359 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: big games against the Steelers in the last two weeks, 360 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: and maybe the Browns just get ahead early in this 361 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: one and they just rest Nick Chubb. Some, yeah, that's 362 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: a lot of maybe for it's cheap, he's not. Yeah, 363 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: he's not. That's the same price as Madison. Do you 364 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: expect Madison to to be the bell cow? Essentially? If 365 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: Chubb's yeah, hundreds still a backup running back, right, he 366 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: gets good run it at the backup running backs. But 367 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: but it's six K. His ten to fifteen touches still 368 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: aren't guaranteed. And you want you want fifteen guaranteed touches 369 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: from your running back almost regardless price. And who's to 370 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: say they don't rest. So I'm kind of off on Hunt. 371 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: He would be. He has a very high ceiling. He 372 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: always does, so he would be a good tournament play 373 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: because no one's gonna be on him. But like in 374 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 1: a cash game where you're trying to stay with the pack, 375 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: stay right the you know, the middle of the scoring field. 376 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,239 Speaker 1: Hans and Nog a guy like for the salary at 377 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: wide receivers, Emmanuel Sanders. Since Drew Brees has come back, 378 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: Sanders averaging eighty yards per game. Obviously no Michael Thomas 379 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 1: in this game. Trey Kwan Samith's question mark. The Panthers 380 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: secondary has been all over the place, at the good 381 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: bad good games, bad games. You don't know what you're 382 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: gonna get there. But Sanders has been very bankable and 383 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: dollars seems reasonable. Yeah, definitely, and uh, I think he 384 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: will also be a pretty popular choice this week with 385 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: Thomas Still and I are. But you can you can 386 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: eat that chalk essentially, if he's gonna get you your points, 387 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: which if he sees the volume should alright. My next receiver, 388 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: I like is is a value play Richard Higgins. Forty dollars. 389 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry will cost you two thousand more than Richard Higgins. 390 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: And I'm getting a guy who, over the last three 391 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: weeks has basically been this has scored as well as 392 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry has. He has scored and or top seventy 393 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: six yards in three straight games for Chard Higgins has. 394 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: I feel like this is a great opportunity to go 395 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: Mayfield Higgins. I got a cheap quarterback. I got a 396 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: cheap receiver in a great matchup. Definitely, And these receivers 397 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: are gonna be frothing at the mouth after being forced 398 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: to And I feel so bad for Landry, who never 399 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: missed the game in his career. Uh, that sucks me. 400 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: If I had to pick between Higgins and Landry, It's 401 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: definitely Higgins because of the price. Thousand dollar delta for sure. 402 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: All right, tell me about Calvin Ridley. He's eighty five 403 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: hundred dollars. That is a huge amount of second pricest 404 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: receiver on the slate. I think because Green Bay is 405 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: still motivated, if someone's going to be spending up at receiver, 406 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: they'll probably still go Davante Adam's way. Uh, this is 407 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: kind of a just a gut call. These teams played 408 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: two weeks ago, the Bucks and the Falcons, and really 409 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: had ten catches a hundred sixty three yards in a 410 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: touchdown on fourteen targets. There's no Julio. I don't think 411 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: Julio is playing this week. He's out, And really, I 412 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: just think the only thing Atlanta has to play for 413 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: right now is getting Calvin Ridley the receiving title, which 414 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: he can get. He's in fourth place right now by 415 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: yards by yards. He's about twenty behind Diggs, who's not 416 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: going to play, essentially, so he's locked in. And then 417 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: he's had Hopkins and Adams who are no more than 418 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: fifty yards ahead of him, and the Adams maybe I 419 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: don't know if Hopkins is gonna get at a big game. 420 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: I think they just speed Ridley mercilessly. In this game 421 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: against a leaky secondary, was given up sixteen wide receiver touchdowns. 422 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: Soon Davis may miss another game. This is just a 423 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: thirty forty point potential, uh that I see people overlooking. 424 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: For the most part, will probably only be owned about 425 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: ten percent at most. You'll did to another Jets player 426 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: that you liked. If you weren't gonna go Ty Johnson, 427 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: who is it? Yeah? So if you're most people plug 428 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: in Thy Johnson into their lineup, they're not gonna. I 429 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: really want to put a Jets wide receiver in your lineup. 430 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: But uh, if I'm not playing Johnson, I'm playing Jameson 431 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: Crowder for sure. And he had a big game last week. 432 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: So but I'm I've always loved Jameson Crowder and he 433 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: and Sam Donald they're fully clicking again. When he faced 434 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: the Patriots the first time in Week nine, he was 435 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: coming off a three week injury. Joe Flacco is the quarterback. 436 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: He still caught a touchdown. Um, I think he catches 437 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: another touchdown on Sunday if not to and look, this 438 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: is the Jets one chance to like just beat the 439 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: piss out of the Patriots, right, we got a lot 440 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: of never gets more promised, a lot of pent up, 441 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 1: pent up aggression here. So um yeah, I just like 442 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: Jameson Crowder at five k that that is way too 443 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: cheap from a guy who's guaranteed to see ten targets. 444 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: Still a Patriots past defense that even without stuff on 445 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: Gilmore has been good except last week, except last yea. 446 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: And you know, but Josh is not on the field. 447 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: It's Sam Donald. I'm I'm more nervous about this one 448 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: than you are. But five thousand is a is a 449 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: is a fair price to pay. Let's go to the 450 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: tight end position. Um, I've got my guy Johnny Smith, 451 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: who I like it only thirty eight hundred dollars. That's 452 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: everybody's given up on Johnny Smith. There's gonna be a 453 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: ton of Tennessee stacks, but nobody's they're all gonna be 454 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: stacking Tannehill and Davis, Tannehill and Brown. Nobody's gonna be 455 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: stacking Tannehill. John You And that's I think that's your 456 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: angle most you know, John Who's um targets have been 457 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: good the last two weeks, five targets, seven targets. Finally 458 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: healthy back you know, at the start of the season 459 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 1: healthy and he was a dominating tight end force. Then 460 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: he got hurt, missed I think one game, played hurt 461 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: for the better part of like five six weeks, but 462 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: clearly back healthy again and part of this offensive rotation. 463 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: And this feels like a good angle at only thirty 464 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: hundred dollars, and I believe he went somewhat nuclear. Well, no, 465 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: it was this was the first game. I think this 466 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: is when Johnny got hurt. This is the game and 467 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: are at eight matches, a hundred and thirteen yards and 468 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: a touchdown against the Texans. So yeah, I love the 469 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: john who call, and really at tight end, I can 470 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: usually find two or three guys third cheap, you know, 471 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: minimum price, even that that I like. But I'm basically 472 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: hand jamming Mike Kasecki into all my lineups this week. 473 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: I'm treating him as a wide receiver one who you 474 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: can play at tight end. Again, they're playing against the 475 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: unmotivated Buffalo Bills, who there have been three games where 476 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: tight ends virtually did nothing two catches by opposing tight 477 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: ends and three games against the Bills and that was 478 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: two games against the Patriots in one game against the Jets. 479 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: Those teams don't use their tight ends at all. So 480 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: take those three games out. There's actually one game where 481 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: Herndon did something against the Bill, so I kept that 482 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: in because he did something. But you take out those 483 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: three games where tight ends did nothing because they weren't 484 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: even targeted. And opposing tight ends are averaging six point 485 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: seven five catches, seventy three yards and point seven touchdowns 486 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: per game against Buffalo when they're playing motivated and Mike 487 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: Kasecki had eight catches, a d thirty yards and a 488 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: touchdown on the first meeting as well. When these teams played. 489 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: I was way back in week two. But still, because 490 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: Sticky is, I'm treating him like a wide receiver one. 491 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: And if I can put a wide receiver one in 492 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: my tight end spot all day every day, makes sense. 493 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: All right. Lastly, defenses, Um, you know, if this is 494 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: always it always feels like, all right, what money do 495 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: I have left? All right, I'll just pick that defense 496 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: is really how you should treat it, and nothing too 497 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: scientific here, Cleveland. You're going up against Pittsburgh, Yeah, Mason Rudolph, 498 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: Miami going up against the Matt Berkeley. I believe the 499 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: Matt Berkeley probably led Bills. Uh, the Jets, I think 500 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: there might be the cheapest option out there. On most sites, 501 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: they just have the Pats. Well, and it's Cam Newton 502 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: starts the game. Who you know, he's been benched so 503 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: many times now that you don't even know who's gonna finish. 504 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: I'll throw this in like so the Jets and you're 505 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: using Ty Johnson, it's it's very It's usually good practice 506 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: when you were using a running back because you expect 507 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: a lot of carry. Is when you expect a lot 508 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: of carries, you expect clock control, you expect the team 509 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: to win the game. So you usually want to pair 510 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: you're one of your running backs with the defense because 511 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: if the running backs on the field getting a lot 512 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: of touches, usually the defense isn't giving up a lot 513 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: of points and hopefully forcing some turnovers. So that makes sense. 514 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: Ty Johnson with the Jets is pretty much a no brainer. 515 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: If you're gonna use thy Johnson and then use the 516 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: Jets defense, all right, that makes sense. Um any other 517 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: defenses that that's stick out for you, let me pull 518 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: them up real quick. But no, because like you said, 519 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 1: there's so much variants in defense. There's really you can 520 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: do some research. But if that your team's defense, if 521 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 1: their offense turns the ball over on the five yard line, 522 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: then the other team gets the ball, they're gonna score 523 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: and it's not your like. You focus on your key 524 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: players and then just see what you can make work 525 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: with defense, really make sense. Don't focus on the defense 526 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: when you're building your lineups. Alright, um charges against the 527 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: Chiefs backups? Yeah, I like it. I can dig it. Okay, alright, 528 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: there's all there's all something that Anthony Lynn. He can 529 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: muck that up somehow. I don't know if I'm buying 530 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: into anything employed still I can understand that. All right, 531 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening, everybody. It's our first offseason edition of 532 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly.
