Have you ever told a friend? Oh,

0:02

I'm fine. When you really felt...

0:05

Just so overwhelmed. Or

0:07

sent a text. Can't sleep.

0:10

Are you awake? When you couldn't find

0:12

the words to say. I'm scared

0:14

to be alone with my thoughts right now.

The DFS Studio is brought to

0:32

you by DraftKings. Welcome

0:49

to the Fantasy Footballers DFS and

0:51

Betting Podcast with your hosts, Kyle

0:54

Borgannoni and Matthew Betts.

1:02

Welcome in. We're

1:04

back. It's the day after Christmas on

1:06

the Fantasy Footballers DFS and Betting Podcast.

1:09

I'm your host, Kyle Borgannoni, and I am

1:11

joined. As always, by Matthew, looking

1:14

a little bit Christmas pudgy Betts. Dude,

1:17

Christmas just kicked me in the butt this year. I

1:20

was going to compliment you on your intro. You seem

1:23

very upbeat, full of energy. You must have had

1:25

enough caffeine to start the day. I'm

1:28

dragging, man. I just

1:30

feel like the holiday hangover is here. I'm

1:32

going to need probably three or four cups of coffee today instead of

1:34

two. So, oh man, but hey,

1:37

we're on a championship week. I know you got a

1:39

couple of teams that you're sweating. And,

1:42

you know, the Eagles don't stink anymore, or kind of.

1:44

So it's all good over here. Okay,

1:47

so if you are prepared for week 17,

1:49

you're a liar. You are just

1:51

a liar because this entire

1:54

past week should have kicked your butt. Christmas

1:56

should have kicked your butt of just everything.

2:00

thing that it is, you know, as a holiday

2:03

family get togethers, but then football,

2:05

you know, getting to sweat out that 49ers game. I mean,

2:07

I was just, just terrified

2:10

the entire time of Debo going, I like

2:12

one Debo touchdown would have changed my week,

2:15

but I made

2:17

it into, in my home league, I made

2:19

it into the finals thanks to one Christian McCaffrey,

2:21

who, he good, just

2:24

confirming he's good. He's very good at his

2:26

job. He'll get really good, a

2:28

really good year of you, which

2:30

I hope you and I do as well. But

2:33

yeah, man, I'll give you a little,

2:35

just a quick little story. I texted Betz about

2:37

this, but yeah, I mean,

2:39

I'm exhausted, just plain exhausted

2:42

from this weekend because I got a

2:44

surprise little, little hello on Saturday.

2:47

So right before Christmas Eve, my

2:49

son and I took him to the ER. He

2:52

had one of those ran into a pole

2:55

kind of thing as he was playing with some friends. And so

2:57

yeah, I was just there comforting my

2:59

son in the ER, like

3:01

all Saturday. And then

3:03

so yeah, my DFS lineups did not

3:05

look great after I looked at

3:07

nothing, like all through Saturday night and then Sunday

3:09

morning, I'm like, crap, I'm done. I'm

3:11

not doing this. Yeah, man, it was, it

3:14

was wild. We had the in-laws here all

3:16

day Saturday and actually Friday afternoon slash evening

3:18

as well. And then we were

3:20

at my folks all day Sunday to celebrate with the family. So

3:23

I wasn't able to kind of sit down and give the attention

3:26

that I normally do. So yeah, I backed off volume a

3:28

little bit this week. Definitely

3:31

tried to play more on Monday, just because it was kind of a slower

3:33

day for me and my family, which was good,

3:35

which was fine. I love those three game

3:37

slates, but yeah, man, hope your son is

3:40

doing better. I'm sure the family Christmas photos

3:42

this year are going to be memorable for

3:44

obvious reasons. Trim

3:46

and my youngest doesn't understand like, why do you still

3:49

have a black eye? Like why is it still like,

3:52

why is it still like that? He

3:54

like figured that he would feel better. I

3:57

know. So how many, but yeah. We've

4:00

gotten through it as a family. How many things did

4:02

he have to get? I think it was eight. Oof.

4:06

It was, I mean, it was massive. Anyway, it's

4:08

one of those things as a parent where you're

4:11

like, I will take that hit for you. I will

4:13

do it if you would let me. But yeah,

4:15

it was tough to hear him coming

4:18

in screaming. As,

4:21

anyway. So, looking on a

4:23

DFS, you and I are gonna get to look

4:25

at the week 17 slate and it is a

4:27

big mama. I feel like the way

4:29

that we've talked about DFS over the last two months

4:32

has been, oh, these teams are on by, or,

4:34

oh, this is a smaller slate. We've got nine

4:36

games, we've got 10 games. This

4:39

is a 13 game slate that you get in

4:41

week 17. And remember, the

4:43

people that are still around, still playing DFS

4:45

with you, there are no

4:47

people farting around with like,

4:49

oh, I'll just throw in some money in my head to head. It's

4:52

like, people playing right now are still in it and they

4:54

still love it. So, before

4:56

we get into this, I just wanted any quick advice

4:59

before we dive into week 17, like volume wise. Do

5:01

you think people should hold onto their money

5:04

for playoffs, like play a little less volume? Cause

5:06

I mean, we're also getting towards new years. I just,

5:09

I caution people to

5:11

think that we're at the very end and

5:13

they could just, you know, spin whatever they have in their bankroll where

5:15

it's gonna be a tough week. It

5:18

will be. However, when you think about the

5:20

playoff slates, I like them just because

5:22

it's a different game. You know, when there's only four

5:24

games on a weekend or three or two when we

5:26

get to championship weekend, you know,

5:29

the smaller the slate size, honestly

5:31

harder it is to win and harder it is

5:33

to play smartly. You just kind of have to

5:35

create unique lineups and you know, hope that some

5:37

of the chalk fails, you know, and get there

5:39

that way. So it's more of a game theory

5:41

play versus on these 13, you

5:44

know, 12 game slates. You can kind of

5:46

pick and choose your spot. So this is kind of one

5:48

of my favorite weeks of the year, this one and next

5:50

week, where we still have these huge slates that we can

5:52

really kind of identify players who

5:54

are not being played enough by the field for tournaments

5:56

or really easily, maybe not

5:58

really, but easily. to identify

6:01

the top cash plays. So I still think there's an edge this

6:03

week and next week if you're willing

6:05

to kind of put in the time and kind of sift through everything,

6:07

but it's a monster, man. I

6:09

mean, and again, the NFL doing us no favors

6:12

with a ton of early window games and only

6:14

a couple in the late window, which I hate

6:16

when they do that. But that's the way it

6:18

goes, dude. We just gotta diagnose the slate and

6:20

go from there. All right, let's look

6:22

at our cash picks. ["The Game

6:24

of the Year"] Straight

6:27

cash, homie. We're reviewing this

6:29

past week, reviewing what we had in

6:32

our best plays. Justin Fields

6:34

was the one that you and I were most confident

6:36

on and I'm glad we did. Joe

6:38

Flacco ended up having a great week too,

6:41

but Fields was a play that we just

6:43

said, "'Hey, you need this in cash.'" And

6:45

roughly 50% of the field was playing him.

6:48

I think one of the harder parts was

6:50

running backs and figuring out where there was

6:52

an edge. So like, Breeze Hall was in

6:54

the mix, but I personally was not strong

6:57

enough on him. I was more on Garrett

6:59

Wilson on that side. So I missed the

7:01

cash line by one and a half points, Betts, in

7:04

double ups. Merry Christmas to you. I

7:06

know. I did think

7:08

it was an extremely difficult running back slate, especially

7:11

when we got the news that Alexander Madison was going to

7:13

play. He didn't really play.

7:15

He had two opportunities, obviously not 100%. So

7:17

it was the Ty Chandler backfield, but

7:19

that game kinda got away from

7:22

the Vikings somewhat quickly against the

7:24

Lions. So it was tough, man. I mean, at

7:26

the top you had Rashad White and Jonathan Taylor,

7:29

who I thought was kind of a

7:31

coin flip as far as which one you play. Those

7:33

guys were in the mix. And then, yeah, Breeze Hall smashed,

7:35

like he said. I was with you. I played Garrett Wilson

7:37

in cash. I did not play Breeze Hall and definitely felt

7:40

that because he was kind of a popular play. So Breeze

7:43

Hall went bonkers. He basically had like a wide receiver

7:45

stat line. He had like 12 catches for 96 yards

7:47

or something crazy. So the commanders,

7:49

dude, they'll give it up to everyone. But yeah,

7:51

tough week. I thought for cash, as far as

7:53

that decision tree kinda goes, I

7:55

will say the sleepbreakers, for

7:57

once, we both hit on them. Thank goodness. We

8:00

did not say Mark Cooper, which Joe

8:02

Flacken for president, but Justin Fields

8:04

smashed, Mike Evans was great. So it was a fun week

8:06

for tournaments, I thought. No, it

8:08

was funny looking at my large field where I

8:10

had some great calls where

8:13

like I played Mike Evans

8:15

because you talked about him with Calvin

8:17

Ridley. So that's four touchdowns between those

8:19

guys. I had Justin Jefferson in the mix.

8:23

I even had Kyle Pitts, who I talked about on his

8:25

podcast about the Falcons tight ends being a good play. And

8:27

I was like, sweet. And then when you look

8:29

up and it's like, if you don't have a Mark Cooper or

8:31

Breeze Hall on a tournament lineup, you

8:33

were probably, there's no chance that you were going to make good

8:35

money on it. So it was an interesting

8:38

slate because early on it

8:42

looked like the Browns weren't just going to go off.

8:44

Like in that first quarter, it looked like kind of

8:46

a dud game. And then all of a sudden you

8:48

look up, it's like, oh, Mark Cooper has 200 yards. Okay.

8:52

Well, if you don't have him, you're done. So

8:54

it was overall a good slate, but I wanted

8:56

to highlight a couple of people, a couple

9:04

of people that gave us

9:06

some shout out, some of these on discord, some

9:08

of them on Twitter. First one's from Brandon Watkins.

9:11

Going to shout out my dudes, Kyle and Betts

9:14

for this one. I couldn't have done it without their wisdom

9:16

DFS. You guys have taught me so much, the DFS pass

9:18

and the pod. Keep up the amazing

9:20

work. DFS pass for life. Give

9:23

me them baby back ribs, which was

9:25

easily the best part. Chili's

9:29

just showing up once again. You

9:31

want to highlight anybody else that we have in the

9:33

doc? Well, Brandon, I have some news for you, my

9:35

friend. With your winnings, which is

9:38

a four figures amount here, you might

9:40

be able to buy a Chili's franchise instead of just the

9:43

ribs with the stock there,

9:46

anywhere things are going. But awesome to see.

9:48

And then, man, I was excited. People, you

9:50

know, when we get to this time of year,

9:52

like everyone's so focused on, of course, if you're listening

9:55

to this show, DFS, but also we all play in

9:57

dynasty leagues and home leagues and stuff like that.

9:59

So everyone's sweating. putting this in the finals to get to the

10:01

finals. Meanwhile, we have these best

10:03

ball sweats going too, and there was a bunch of

10:05

people in Discord that highlighted that.

10:07

We have Brandon Ayukin is the Discord

10:10

handle going off to the DK

10:12

Milly finals, which is really fun. Bunch

10:14

of other people getting through some huge prizes to go

10:16

to the finals. So best ball season, you know, it's

10:18

really fun when you kind of put in so much

10:20

work throughout the off season, literally from

10:22

like May to August, and then you

10:24

just kind of forget about it, right? And then you get to December

10:26

and you're like, okay, let's see where we're at. So very fun to

10:29

see for everyone. Congrats to everyone that had a good weekend. There

10:31

was a bunch of people too that did really well on

10:34

the Saturday slate. So good stuff all around in the DFS

10:36

pass. Yeah, and I

10:38

forget sometimes that the DFS pass,

10:42

like we let that thing out in

10:44

June with our best ball primer. It's

10:46

like, why are we giving that away? Like

10:49

for no extra costs. That's just that, once

10:51

again, very stupid marketing idea from the people

10:53

that are in charge of DFS here. Do

10:55

you know who those people are? Can I

10:57

talk to them that are in charge of DFS for

11:00

our company? Yeah, please. And I'd like to also schedule

11:02

a meeting. Yeah, okay. So you

11:04

and I are gonna have an off season meeting with

11:06

ourselves to talk about why we're doing this. But

11:09

yeah, great value DFS pass, dfspass.com

11:11

about to come out with some playoff

11:13

content if you want to roll with

11:16

us and be a part of that.

11:18

So dfspass.com, let's move on. State

11:24

of the main slate. Each

11:26

week, we refer to the DraftKings Sportsbook

11:28

lines where Betts and myself play. You

11:31

can go to sportsbook.draftkings.com and we're gonna

11:33

preview this 13 game slate. But

11:35

I did want to use this as a, I

11:38

don't know if it's a teaching point, but more of to

11:40

talk about the MVP race and

11:42

how things change drastically on Monday night.

11:45

You and I, I feel like over the last

11:47

month I've mentioned this that whoever is

11:49

the favorite at the moment,

11:51

I think the public just says, oh, well, this is

11:53

what's gonna happen when in one game

11:55

you saw Brock Purdy, throw four interceptions.

11:57

Now some of those were tip passes, but. the

12:00

public perception change so much that now

12:02

he's in I believe fifth

12:04

place. I'm looking

12:06

on draftings right now it's Lamar

12:09

at minus 160 CMC

12:11

at plus 400 to a 10 to

12:14

one and then Brock 12 to one. Can

12:17

you, is there any value of

12:19

so we still have two weeks and every week

12:22

I asked this question and I feel like every

12:24

week there has been value on the board that

12:27

the public feels too overconfident. So Lamar's

12:29

the hotness after this past week Baltimore

12:32

rolled. They have a game

12:34

against Miami that they could certainly lose and when

12:36

you look at just the way

12:38

that the AFC is pictured like Miami wins

12:40

that game they are now the number

12:42

one seed. All right. And you know I

12:46

just I hate how fast

12:48

things change in the market.

12:50

And so I never bet favorites. I

12:53

only sprinkle you know whoever's in third or

12:55

fourth. So is there any value you're seeing

12:57

on the board as of this Tuesday. I

13:00

think it's a good reminder too that these markets and this is what

13:02

we talked about in the offensive player of the year defensive player

13:04

of the year come back players stuff like that. These

13:06

are not you know

13:08

algorithmic based with historical

13:10

data and whatever else like someone sets these

13:12

lines as if they think this is what

13:14

it should be. It's not like size and

13:16

totals where we have a huge amount of

13:18

data that it's so hard to

13:21

beat. These are just so sensitive to a

13:24

week to week thing. Literally last

13:26

night I don't know why books do this. They actually

13:28

hang the lines while the games are going on like

13:30

Lamar's odds are moving by each quarter. So

13:33

if you're plugged into that stuff you can get a little

13:35

edge I think. But it's just it's it's not something we

13:37

should take as fact like Kyle said when you see minus

13:39

160 for Lamar on your left. Well it's definitely him. Now

13:42

I will say if they beat the Dolphins

13:44

this weekend. I think it's

13:47

his award I think. Yes. So I do think that that's

13:50

probably right as far as he should be favored but I'm

13:52

not going to bet that I have

13:54

Lamar from earlier in the offseason so I'm excited about it. But

13:56

I don't see it's on a value. I guess

13:59

you could talk me into. maybe a little

14:01

Josh Allen just if the

14:04

Dolphins win this week and the

14:06

Bills rattle off two wins and

14:08

end up with a better

14:10

seed than anyone thought three, four, five weeks ago.

14:13

So that maybe to me is okay, but I mean really,

14:15

at this point, I don't think there's much value on the

14:17

board. I don't

14:19

mind CMC because

14:22

nobody would, well, I always don't

14:24

mind CMC, always. Let's be honest. We get

14:26

to talk about it on this slate. Here's

14:30

what I can say. So they play Washington at home.

14:33

He'd be highest team applied total of the week. It

14:36

would not shock me if Christian McCaffrey gets

14:38

three touchdowns, leads me to a fantasy

14:40

title, but that

14:42

note aside, but let's say he

14:45

gets three touchdowns. Let's say Lamar loses, okay?

14:47

Loses this game. Who should be the favorite

14:49

at that point? Ah,

14:53

man, probably CMC, but this

14:56

goes against everything I know because we just tell

14:58

people all the time, don't bet running backs, why?

15:00

I agree. I don't know, man.

15:03

I agree. Now to his counting stats

15:06

are not great. Like they're not as

15:08

great as you think. Lamar's are not as great as you

15:10

think. Purdy, I'm not

15:14

saying he's done, but that

15:16

kind of public moment on

15:19

Christmas night, like that sticks with people and

15:21

sticks with voters. So I just think that

15:23

Christian McCaffrey is close enough that if

15:25

you're getting, I saw plus 400. Is

15:27

that what's he at right now? That's what I see on DK.

15:29

I haven't really shot the lines yet. I

15:31

don't mind sprinkling that because would it shock you if

15:33

he had two touchdowns? No,

15:36

not against this Washington team.

15:38

Yeah, and San Francisco still can

15:40

get that one seed and

15:43

Baltimore could falter. It's

15:45

just, to me, it feels like if

15:48

I'm gonna take somebody here and I know it's

15:50

not a quarterback, I

15:52

think he has a great chance to do it.

15:54

So sprinkle a little bit. The only pushback on

15:56

the CMC for MVP thing is

15:58

how does he not win offensive. of the year

16:00

at this point. And so do

16:02

voters double dip with MVP and

16:05

offensive player of the year? I

16:07

get that. Usually not. Not that it

16:09

can't happen, it just historically does not happen. And

16:12

part of that is sort of the quarterback running back wide

16:14

receiver thing where it's like it's always a quarterback for MVP

16:16

so they're never gonna double dip from offensive

16:18

player of the year because they'll give it to a running back or wide receiver. So

16:21

that's just something I'm thinking through. But man,

16:24

what a wild season. And you can

16:26

make an argument for any of these

16:28

guys, right? Lamar, Tua, Purdy, Josh

16:31

Allen, CMC. So I think if there

16:33

ever was a year where it's not a quarterback, this is

16:35

the year. Yeah, and we've

16:37

seen that whoever's been

16:39

the lead in the moment, it feels like a

16:41

lock. Or not a lock, but at least like

16:44

this guy's trending in the right direction. Dak was

16:46

like, oh, well, it's gonna be Dak. He's

16:49

just been on fire. It's not gonna

16:51

be Dak. I can tell you right now, it's not gonna

16:53

be Dak. Oh, come on. I'm

16:56

sorry, man, that ticket. But Lamar, you know I'm

16:58

always down with betting on the more. Yeah. Never

17:00

goes wrong. All right,

17:03

let's talk about this 13 game slate

17:05

because this changes things a little bit. We talked about

17:07

that at the top. We have a

17:09

Thursday night game, which is the Joe Flacco

17:11

revenge game, which is, right

17:14

now, would you say that's like the best story

17:16

in the NFL? Sit down, Tommy DeVito,

17:19

no one cares anymore? Dude,

17:21

it's gotta be Flacco. And it's just like, not

17:24

that they're like having them out there to attempt

17:26

28 passes a game and manage it. It's

17:29

his team. And he's played incredibly well.

17:31

He is, by the way, second

17:33

to DeMar Hamlin for comeback player of the year. And

17:37

DeMar Hamlin's story is awesome. But

17:40

he's a special teams player who's been

17:42

inactive most weeks. Joe Flacco's me

17:44

is. He's out of the public, it's

17:46

the public picture of

17:49

what happened, which we're basically at a year of

17:51

when it happened, incredible story. So not take anything

17:53

of that away. But just like, Joe

17:55

Flacco was on his couch a month ago. And

17:57

DeBrown, they have a path.

18:00

to the one seed. It's kind

18:02

of unlikely, but there is a path to it. And

18:05

they're probably going to win this week, don't you think? I

18:07

mean, there's seven and a half point favorites, 11 wins

18:10

for a Joe Flacco led team sit

18:12

down to Sean Watson. I mean, that's worth a bet to

18:14

me. I mean, we know

18:16

what actually happened. Joe Flacco was sitting

18:18

on his couch, made a ton of

18:20

bets on himself before he

18:23

assigned a contract. You're going to get the story

18:25

in a week in about a month after the

18:27

season's over. You heard it here first, people.

18:30

I mean, it's amazing. So, uh, Joe Flacco

18:32

and the jet, uh, the Browns versus the

18:35

jets. That's Thursday night. Then we get one

18:37

Saturday night game, which is the game of

18:39

the week, right? Lions, Cowboys, 53 and

18:41

a half over under, which tells us what

18:43

bets. Don't

18:45

walk. You run to your

18:48

book and you hammer that under because last

18:50

week, what was the game? It was, uh,

18:52

dolphins and cowboys, right? Yup.

18:54

That came under. All right. So

18:57

we're 11 out of 12 hitting

18:59

the under, which is just, just

19:01

wild, man. Um, so those are

19:04

the games, early games, and then we get 13

19:06

games and one Sunday night game, so it

19:09

is packed and bets mentioned the early window.

19:11

I mean, you're, you're looking at 10 games in the

19:14

early window alone in the one

19:16

o'clock, so, um, based on those games, bets

19:18

hit me with the teams with the highest

19:20

team flight total. Yeah. Another

19:22

week. Another 49ers leading the slate.

19:25

31 points. I'm going to tell you right

19:27

now, like the over against Washington, assuming we get good news

19:29

on Brock Purdy. The Eagles are second at 28 and a

19:31

half. The chiefs at 26 and a half. The

19:34

bills 26.3 and the Ravens at 25. I

19:38

really liked seeing Sam Donald on

19:40

the, like the first drive is like, oh,

19:42

let's go, let's go, Sam Darnold. There's a

19:44

reason you were picked third overall. I

19:47

took you in a dynasty startup. Oh, wait. Okay. You're

19:49

Sam Darnold. Okay. Nevermind. But,

19:52

um, yeah, it, the 49ers.

19:55

There's going to be a little bit of this bad taste

19:57

in our mouth because of what we just saw. 31

20:00

team implied total is nuts

20:02

for being on the road. So

20:05

yeah, we need them that team There's

20:09

not a lot of players off the main slate this

20:11

week. I was listening them. I was like, okay Well,

20:13

obviously we're not playing flaco. We want to QB one

20:17

there's some wide receivers off the slate, but it's the

20:20

player pool is stocked full of

20:24

guys to look at in every single position So

20:27

any quick thoughts about who's not on the slate

20:29

and when you looked at the player pool Yeah,

20:32

I mean it's just when you have these large slates

20:34

and no one's really on by And

20:37

the primetime games like I mean, they're pretty good.

20:39

They're like the Saturday night game is gonna be

20:41

awesome Very excited about that. We'll do some showdown,

20:44

you know contest in our dressings league for that

20:46

But you know, there really are the

20:48

elite options here for you And whenever we talk about that

20:50

on a slate, it's like when we have these smaller ones

20:52

where you can kind of pick and choose Six

20:55

K quarterback or like a 5k quarterback

20:57

like this past weekend you can spend

20:59

up elsewhere and not be worried about getting buried

21:02

by Whoever the QB one is

21:04

like this past week. It was to a

21:06

and Dak there were cost prohibitive this week, man

21:08

You got Josh Allen you got

21:10

my homes You got Jalen hurts and an incredible

21:12

spot against the Cardinals So like I feel like

21:14

it's kind of one of those weeks again where

21:17

it just seems like a an awesome quarterback

21:20

Is going to have a ceiling performance? You'll

21:22

probably need it in tournaments. We'll see what happens throughout the

21:25

week. That's a great point

21:27

because yeah I looked at this past weekend.

21:29

I was like, okay, I'm not scared of

21:31

anybody bearing me other than Justin Fields Just

21:34

based on price and how I'm you know

21:36

allocating that and then you could get away

21:38

with the cheap guys like Nick Mullins got

21:40

there Joe Flacco got there Taylor Heineke was

21:42

pretty good too. Like you could have just

21:44

spent down and been totally fine Bryce

21:47

young was good too. So yeah

21:49

cheap quarterbacks I think are gonna be really tough

21:51

to lean into on this slate

21:54

So before we get into our most

21:56

popular games, let's take a quick break Alright,

22:07

we're back. Betts, tell me about which game

22:10

for week 17 is going to be the

22:12

matchup. I mean it's

22:14

this Miami and Baltimore game, don't you think? The

22:17

battle for the number one seed in the AFC. Obviously

22:20

huge upside in this spot for Tyreek

22:22

with Waddle unlikely to play coming

22:24

off a high ankle sprain. We get this ultra

22:26

condensed target share to Tyreek and

22:28

it's like okay sweet, I'll just bring it back with

22:30

someone on Baltimore and because we had the Monday

22:32

night game, those guys are

22:34

cheap man. Flowers is 5600, Odell is 4500, Isaiah likely is 4600.

22:40

So however you want to play it, if

22:42

you want to just do a Lamar skinny with Tyreek, it's doable. If

22:45

you don't want to play the quarterbacks and just play kind of

22:47

Tyreek and one of those Baltimore

22:49

Ravens, it's very easy to fit those guys and they're going

22:52

to project well because it's got a 47 point total. So

22:55

I think that one will be quite popular and

22:57

just as humans, when we have something in

23:00

front of us as far as a high profile game, we want to have

23:02

a little sweat in it so I could see people defaulting

23:05

to that matchup for that reason too. Yeah,

23:07

I want to give a quick mention

23:10

of Fandool and what they're doing with that game

23:12

because it's almost like they priced the players and

23:14

they had to price it before the game as

23:17

if Baltimore was going to lose. You're

23:20

getting cheap guys across the board like Zae Flowers is

23:22

6.3 on Fandool. You're

23:24

going to see some other names. You're like, oh,

23:27

this guy's buried. Two is only 7.6. I

23:30

think two is the QB8 or 9. So

23:34

he's kind of down there too. So I think there's

23:36

a lot to like on Fandool if you want to

23:38

stack up that game from a value standpoint. We'll

23:40

see later on in the week where it fits in

23:43

our game pay score. But yeah, that is the NFL

23:45

matchup and then it's not as

23:47

expensive as it should be, which Tyreek

23:49

is going to be the main piece,

23:51

but it's almost like you just

23:53

eat the cost and you build around him and it's actually

23:55

not as expensive as it's been in the past. This past

23:57

week when we talked about Dallas and Miami, we were like,

24:00

This game is so expensive, I don't know if I

24:02

want to go there if it fails. This

24:05

game you can go Tyreke, Zae Flowers with

24:08

Lamar and totally get there. That's

24:10

definitely going to be the game. Betts mentioned

24:13

San Francisco, Washington. Washington defense has

24:15

been a punching bag

24:17

the entire year. So, correlating expensive San

24:19

Francisco players with their team in total

24:22

and then one Washington player I think is going to be

24:24

a route that a lot of people go. QB

24:28

is going to be a big conversation

24:30

point because in cash on DraftKings he's

24:33

interesting. On Fandal he's the

24:35

QB3. It's

24:38

almost laughable to think to pay that price on

24:40

Fandal when there's just Josh Allen and other

24:43

players that just have massive upside hurts around

24:45

them. I will be

24:48

playing 49ers players, we'll be talking about Christian

24:50

McCaffrey, but I think there's players on

24:52

the Washington side when you think about the Curtis

24:54

Samuels of the world that you

24:57

can bring in your lineup and hopefully

24:59

you get a good PPR outing.

25:02

Which game do you think is sneaky this week? I'm

25:04

going to throw out the Tampa Bay and

25:07

New Orleans game. The total is only at

25:09

42.5 so it's not incredible,

25:12

but this Saints D is

25:14

really struggling especially when they faced good

25:17

to competent teams. Not

25:19

Tommy DeVito and the Giants or Bryce Young and the Panthers.

25:21

They gave up 30 to the Rams, 33 to the Lions,

25:23

27 to the Vikings, 27 to the Colts over the last

25:28

month and a half. The Bucks are kind

25:30

of rolling right now. Baker's playing

25:32

well, Evans and Godwin are healthy, Rashad White's

25:34

doing his thing. It's all

25:36

looking good at a home spot here for

25:38

Tampa to go up against a struggling New

25:40

Orleans team. Then on the other side we

25:43

just saw a huge Chris Olave performance

25:46

and this is a Tampa defense where you have to throw

25:49

the football. It creates a pretty clean bring

25:51

back in my opinion. Of course,

25:53

you could look Rashid Jahid's way too if you wanted to get

25:55

unique, but I just think the way these teams

25:57

set up looks pretty interesting to me.

26:00

Can you tell me that our lobby is gonna

26:02

be fine though? I need personally to know that.

26:05

I do as well. Really need

26:07

the lobby to be healthy. So if you

26:09

missed it after last Thursday night's game, which feels like two

26:11

months ago at this point, remember

26:14

he was questionable with ankle issue, battled

26:16

through it, and after the game told reporters that

26:18

he is, yeah, it was really a lot

26:20

of pain kind of struggled through the game to get through it. I

26:23

think with the extra time, same story, like he'll probably

26:25

be limited throughout the week, but should play in my

26:28

opinion. I don't know that he's 100%, but

26:31

he's at least functional enough to get through the game and

26:33

at least kind of put up stats. So I think a lobby

26:36

will be fine. I certainly need him to be as well.

26:38

Yeah, the extra time to rest up

26:41

is the only thing that I'm like holding on to.

26:43

So yeah, I think

26:45

Buffalo onslaught stacks are gonna kind of go

26:47

under the radar this week. They're

26:50

in the early window. They're at home

26:52

against the Patriots. So it

26:55

doesn't feel like a game that once they wanna go off, but

26:57

their team applied total is great. They're at 26.3. We've

27:00

seen the offense kind of turn things around recently.

27:02

They've won three in a row, and at home

27:04

this year they're averaging 28.6 points per game. So

27:08

I think Buffalo, two

27:10

to three pieces from Buffalo can get there. I

27:13

don't know if you need somebody from the Patriots, and I question

27:16

who that could be. Like, do you wanna play

27:18

Pop Douglas other than cash? Not

27:20

really, but I think Buffalo onslaught stacks make a lot

27:22

of sense this week. So put that on your radar.

27:25

Which game do you wanna be underweight on? I'm

27:28

not super into the Carolina and

27:30

Jacksonville game. This week it's

27:32

a low total, only 37 and a half points, but

27:35

you've got Trevor Lawrence battling a shoulder injury,

27:37

and this is part of the reason we were on the

27:40

Jordan Love under on his past attempts this past

27:42

week is because Carolina invites you to run the

27:44

ball. So you have your quarterback with a shoulder

27:46

injury against a run funnel defense. I

27:49

think we're gonna see a ton of Travis ETN here, which I

27:51

mean, if you wanna play him, that's cool. But

27:53

I don't think we're gonna see a high flying back and forth

27:55

affair from the Jacksonville side,

27:57

especially considering their wide receiver injuries with Christian

27:59

Kirk. say Jones and on the other side

28:02

Bryce young is coming off of a career

28:04

day randomly. It's the Packers I

28:07

know you have to throw on Jacksonville usually

28:10

But I just don't want to bet on that

28:12

happening in back-to-back weeks and since they're week seven

28:14

bye for Carolina Their games are seven

28:16

and two to the under Yeah,

28:19

you need you need Trevor Lawrence to

28:21

make this game really go. Did you see

28:23

Bryce young's price? It is it's

28:25

so tempting 4.9

28:27

roll and scroll and scroll

28:29

and then you'll find it after you get tendonitis in your thumb

28:33

It's pretty far down there man. He's buried Yeah,

28:36

so he's interesting based on

28:38

what they did last week. It's also I'll

28:42

mention later DJ Chuck revenge game

28:45

coming off of two touchdowns It's

28:48

probably not gonna work but Yeah, it's not a

28:50

game. You probably want to stack I'll throw out Atlanta,

28:52

Chicago And I remembered and you

28:55

probably remember this too You

28:57

studied for week 17 a long time ago

28:59

It was called May when we were talking

29:01

best ball talking week 17 correlation bets you

29:03

put out a whole article I believe on

29:06

this so you already know it's gonna happen

29:08

this week You just have to go back and read it you

29:10

probably forgot but Atlanta Chicago

29:12

was one of those matchups that you go, huh? Do

29:15

I even care about this at least I'll correlate some

29:17

Chicago and Atlanta players and see what happens I'm

29:20

sure there's some best ball lineups that what have Bijon and

29:23

DJ more together. Yeah, we're like,

29:25

oh, I already have DJ more. I might as well

29:27

take Kyle Pitts Like they're definitely gonna go off in

29:29

week 17. Oh My

29:32

gosh, there are so many or there's

29:35

the correlation that you didn't know you needed it's like

29:37

Oh, I have this player that's on

29:39

this team now that like, oh I have the

29:41

Thai Chandler You

29:43

know Nick Mullins, you

29:46

know extravaganza or whatever else I have I

29:51

Hope no a draft Nick Wells if you did you probably had a

29:53

terrible season I need to go

29:55

back through my lineups and find like what

29:58

correlation I stumbled into just like because I

30:00

was galaxy branding at the time and I was just drafting

30:02

and I just knew like this was gonna hit

30:07

Atlanta Chicago, it's gonna be slow paced.

30:10

I think the thing with fields is

30:12

if he doesn't get the huge yak

30:15

plays from DJ Moore or you know he has

30:17

a banged up Cole Comette who left with a knee injury it's

30:20

gonna be tough. The Overunder is only 39. If this is

30:22

a dome game I feel different but it's that soldier field.

30:24

This is gonna be a slow slog

30:27

although it would be a great audition

30:30

for the Falcons to see Justin Fields and

30:33

for them to trade for him this next year. I

30:35

think I'd love that. I don't think that's out of

30:37

their own possibility. I think that's that's very live. Hometown

30:40

guy he's from he's from Atlanta. Harrison

30:44

High School I believe. Team most

30:46

confident hits the over of their team applied

30:49

total this week. That is correct because remember

30:51

watching kibi1 on Netflix when he was there.

30:53

Nice. I'm gonna go over

30:55

22 and a half for Tampa. I already

30:57

talked about the game environment with the Saints.

31:00

Since week nine Tampa is playing incredibly

31:02

well offensively. Excuse me eighth in

31:04

EPA per play. They're eighth in

31:06

scoring and over the last three weeks I don't know

31:08

what has gotten into Baker Mayfield and this team but 29, 34,

31:10

30 points put

31:13

up on the scoreboard and New Orleans since

31:17

week 10. So over the last six weeks there's

31:19

six lowest pressure rate in the NFL

31:21

meaning Baker has really struggled

31:24

when you know he's been under pressure in his

31:26

career. On paper at least this

31:28

is a spot where he should be in a clean pocket

31:30

and pick apart the Saints defense as we saw Matthew Stafford

31:32

do last Thursday night. I'll be

31:34

quick about this we mentioned San Francisco 31. It's

31:36

a team you want to

31:38

lean into in a couple spots in Washington I

31:40

wrote is good at their job and their job

31:42

is giving up points. So we're gonna lean into

31:44

San Francisco team applied total. I think you said

31:47

earlier like that's something I want to potentially

31:49

just lean into. Yeah big time. All

31:52

right which team are you most confident hits the under. Yeah

31:55

I'm gonna kind of follow up with what you said

31:57

with that Atlanta Chicago game and I'm about to get

31:59

Atlanta under. 18 and a half. Though

32:01

the story for this team really has been their home road splits

32:04

when they're at home. They play

32:06

really well in the dome, when they're

32:08

on the road, they struggle, and Chicago

32:10

has been awesome defensively over the back half of the

32:12

year. So since week nine, their number two in EPA

32:14

per play, their sixth in EPA per

32:16

rush attempt, which is huge to

32:18

me because we know Atlanta prefers to run

32:20

the ball, and if they get stuffed

32:23

early and they get, they're unable

32:25

to kind of stay ahead of the chain, so

32:27

to speak, they're gonna force each other on a

32:29

key to drop back, and it's not like Chicago

32:31

is a bad pass defense, they're top five in

32:33

EPA per drop back over that last kind of

32:35

six week span too. So just on paper, it's

32:37

a really tough spot for Atlanta and how they

32:39

wanna play, and six of the last seven opponents against

32:42

Chicago have been at or under

32:44

their team total. I'm

32:46

gonna throw out the Chargers under 16 and

32:48

a half. They're playing

32:51

at Denver. Denver just beat them

32:53

a couple weeks ago, 24 to seven in Los Angeles,

32:55

so they're at home. Ethan Stig is

32:57

not a player I'm confident in, and then you

32:59

just look at the pricing, like for Los Angeles

33:02

Chargers players on DraftKings, and you go, like

33:04

nobody's confident, Austin Echler is

33:07

so cheap now, like nobody wants to play

33:09

him, so I think the Chargers are a

33:11

team you don't really need, and is

33:14

Keaton Allen asking

33:16

for my closest friend in the

33:19

entire world? Is

33:21

he just like done for the year, like doesn't

33:23

wanna come back? So what's weird about

33:25

this, and this is

33:27

tough too, because I was

33:29

talking about this on the injury blitz this past week, it's

33:32

shutdown season around the NFL, so guys

33:35

that could play through something, if the team's

33:37

out of it, they might not. That's clearly what's happening

33:39

with the Chargers, they were officially eliminated, not that they

33:41

ever really had a chance, but

33:44

there's been like no details on this heel injury, so

33:46

I don't really know specifically what's going on, but

33:49

I will tell you, he has zero motivation to get back out

33:51

there at this point, so I am not feeling incredible

33:53

about Keaton Allen's chances of playing

33:56

this week. Is

33:58

there a way that I... me, Keenan

34:01

Allen, best friend from day one. And

34:06

I'm not trying to put this, but I think I

34:08

care about Keenan Allen almost as much as anybody else

34:10

in fantasy football world. Could I

34:12

motivate him? Or just

34:14

in the world, period, not just fantasy

34:16

football. Hey man, you could

34:18

try. I've heard actually a really

34:21

good strategy is fantasy players and

34:23

gamblers DMing NFL players and telling them on Twitter.

34:25

Oh yeah, that's great. That's a really good thing

34:27

to do, so you should try that. I

34:29

feel like Keenan and I have a pretty good online

34:31

relationship so far, so I don't want to ruin that.

34:34

That's fair. I

34:36

need you buddy. I've always been

34:38

there through, I mean, from

34:40

your rookie year, I drafted you.

34:43

I've held on, you know, so many seasons.

34:45

I was there, Toyo ACL in week one.

34:47

I've always been there, last rated kidney. Been

34:49

there too, buddy. We've been

34:52

through a lot, so. And also I'm

34:54

about to hit this drop for salary standouts. It is a

34:56

picture of Keenan Allen. Salary

35:00

standouts. I

35:03

know he's not gonna play when I hear you say,

35:05

there are literally no details out about this person. Your

35:08

job is to look for injury stuff and yeah,

35:10

I haven't found anything either. So maybe

35:13

we'll get something. Maybe we'll get some news,

35:15

but yeah, there's not a lot of motivation. This

35:17

week, we're gonna look at the players early

35:19

in the week that stand out to us. We're

35:22

getting an early read. Like people, give us some grace.

35:24

You should give yourself some grace because if you're looking at the player pool,

35:28

there's a lot of players to sort through. And we

35:30

just went through Christmas, the three game slate and everything

35:32

else you did with your family. So this is early

35:34

in the week. If you're like,

35:36

hey, why don't you talk about those players? Like, I

35:38

don't know. Cause we think we didn't get to look

35:41

at every single thing yet. So at quarterback, I

35:44

love Lamar's tag at 7.7. Like

35:46

we mentioned, I think DraftKings priced them as if

35:48

they were going to lose. You

35:50

know, they were five and a half point dogs, which a lot of

35:52

people didn't like that line. So I like Lamar at

35:55

7.7. You

35:57

have Brock Purdy at 7K. If

36:00

you knew he was healthy on the

36:02

road, team applied total against Washington, is

36:05

he a better cost sensitive play? So

36:07

this one's tough, because I think Lamar, you

36:09

know, with his ability to run, that

36:12

price sticks out to me. It's like, man, am I really

36:14

gonna give up 700 bucks just

36:16

to play Brock Purdy? But it's like, we need to

36:18

get rid of this, I

36:20

don't know what to say, but stigma or bias. If you just

36:22

removed last night, like Purdy is

36:24

smashing this price tag every single week,

36:26

right, and now we get the match

36:28

up against the Commander, so you

36:31

could flip a coin to me, those guys are both awesome.

36:33

I think it's gonna depend on how you wanna build, and

36:35

we're gonna talk about guys like Christian McCaffrey, Tyreek

36:37

Hill, who seem like you need one of those

36:40

guys this week. Obviously, the

36:42

more money you can save in certain positions and

36:44

get those guys, the better it's gonna

36:46

project. So for me, I think I leaned Purdy early in

36:48

the week, but of course, we'll see what projections say as

36:50

we get throughout the week. I

36:52

leaned Christian McCaffrey early in

36:54

the week. Over Tyreek? I

36:57

do, but it's a bias thing, and

36:59

I think he's just been worth, he's been

37:01

worth the price tag every single week. Like

37:04

literally every single week. Yeah,

37:07

well. I mean, there's two weeks where

37:09

he had. There's been a couple of

37:11

games where he's only had 19 DraftKings

37:13

points, or only 20, what a failure. But

37:17

I get what you're saying in Cash Games, like you're locking in 18

37:19

to 30 points, most

37:23

weeks for CMC, which is crazy. But

37:25

man, if there's no Gyllenwaddle, which I

37:27

do not think there will be this week, Tyreek's

37:32

cheaper? I don't know, man. You

37:34

could argue either way, I think. I'll

37:38

have to see what my

37:40

builds look like. I mentioned Bryce Young earlier. He's

37:43

just so cheap. That stood out to me

37:45

as like, oh, this is a play that you could make

37:47

work, but we mentioned the way the slate is shaped. I

37:51

think one of these expensive quarterbacks is gonna smash

37:53

Josh Allen, Lamar, hurts.

37:56

So, keep all of those in mind,

37:58

and then I just wanna mention too on fans. at

38:00

7.6 he stands out as

38:02

a missed price so if you're gonna

38:04

stack up that game that one makes a lot of sense. At

38:08

running back CMC is 9.6 as we mentioned

38:11

on Fandal he is 11k

38:13

so you gotta pay up and

38:16

I like that I like that Fandal said like hey

38:18

we're not gonna give this guy away 11k is insane

38:20

for any player

38:23

and on a touchdown dependent site

38:25

it makes sense because you pretty much can

38:28

lock in at least one touchdown for this

38:30

guy so appropriately priced on Fandal. Kyron

38:32

Williams I think is gonna be a play that you and

38:34

I also like at 8.3

38:37

against the Giants and their run funnel team

38:39

so yeah I think Kyron feels

38:42

safe at 8.3. Yeah

38:45

I mean we've talked about this before he has the

38:47

CMC role where it's it's his backfield and

38:49

you're gonna give a couple touches to you know

38:52

the backup Ronnie Rivers but it's his

38:54

backfield and the Giants you certainly can

38:56

run on you certainly can expect points

38:59

from the Rams they've got a pretty healthy team

39:01

total this week so Kyron makes

39:03

sense to me it's gonna

39:05

be tough man because you're not gonna be able to fit likely

39:07

I'll say likely you're not gonna be able

39:09

to fit CMC Tyree Kill and Kyron Williams

39:11

on drafting so it's a decision tree but

39:14

he's in the player pool for sure. Travis

39:17

E.T.N. stood out to me at

39:19

7.2 against the Carolina Panthers a team that

39:21

we've I don't know we've picked on them

39:23

a lot but the

39:25

thing about E.T.N. it's just been touchdowns weeks one

39:28

through eight he was averaging 18.8 fans

39:31

points per game and a touchdown per

39:33

game so like you were getting this crazy

39:36

volume and you were getting the touchdowns after

39:38

the week nine by he has just two total

39:40

touchdowns and so I think he's a good positive

39:43

regression candidate against the defense that we've kind

39:45

of picked on a lot as giving up

39:47

touchdown so he's interesting I would probably

39:49

won't play him in cash but I think in tournaments I

39:52

love that price tag at 7.2

39:54

DeAndre Swift stands out to me at 6.5

39:56

against the Cardinals who Are

40:00

not good at anything and especially not good at stopping

40:02

the run. So that kind of stands out And

40:05

then do we know anything about Josh Jacobs?

40:08

Who's missed the last two weeks? They

40:11

said it was a little bit closer this past week and

40:14

he's just miss priced He's six point

40:16

two on DraftKings 7k on Fandal Anything

40:18

against the Colts who's a team that we've

40:20

always picked on with running back.

40:23

So anything with Josh Jacobs? Yeah,

40:25

apparently he was Like he

40:27

said pretty close to playing on Monday against the

40:29

Chiefs worked out pretty game and just kind of

40:31

felt like he couldn't go But

40:33

man, Zamir White has played very well

40:36

in his absence And so I think even

40:38

if Josh Jacobs plays this week There's

40:40

a chance we see more Zamir White

40:42

than we have in the past with Jacobs and

40:44

Antonio Pierce a head coach So I

40:47

get the price tag. I think even be more of a tournament

40:49

play for me, especially coming off injury But the matchups there and

40:51

the price tag is certainly there. Yeah,

40:53

I want to throw Jevonte 5.6

40:56

at home as a favorite against the Chargers Workloads

40:59

there touchdowns really haven't been there. I think he

41:01

has one touchdown the last calendar year Like

41:03

it's just just hasn't been happening, but

41:05

I think his workload Is

41:08

solid so you have

41:10

CH on here? Yeah, just another name

41:12

to keep you know, kind of at the back of your

41:14

mind as we start the week with Isaiah

41:16

Pacheco In Monday's

41:18

game against the Raiders left with a concussion

41:21

So typically that's tough to clear when

41:23

you're a Monday game as opposed

41:25

to like a Thursday Saturday or Sunday game

41:27

So if he misses CH would

41:30

certainly have to play I don't

41:32

say every down but he would be the

41:34

dude because Jake McKinnon is on IR with a

41:36

groin injury So it's like man if he's the

41:38

only guy at 5.3, he'd be a decent salary-saving

41:40

option. I think for cash games Let's

41:43

move to wide receiver. I mentioned earlier Zae

41:46

Flowers is a great tag on both websites

41:50

He's just getting a lot of volume He saw on Monday

41:52

night if you watch the games a lot of first reads

41:54

a lot of yak kind of plays Probably

41:57

had another touchdown that he could have had so Zae

41:59

Flowers is interesting interesting, Tyreke

42:02

is the big decision point this week if you can

42:04

pay up. What do you think about AJ

42:06

Brown at 8.6? Like a lot

42:08

of times in these match-up,

42:10

he smashes against really bad opponents and the Cardinals

42:12

are one of the worst. So is

42:15

that too expensive for a player that's kind of been

42:17

volatile? I think he's

42:19

not in cash game consideration, which

42:22

when you look at pricing and you're trying to

42:24

fit McCaffrey or Tyreke, I think he's just gonna

42:26

get lost in the shuffle this week. So I

42:28

love him early in the week for tournaments. Like

42:31

he said, the match-up's there and when you

42:33

think about guys that you just wanna peg is

42:35

like, it's been a while since we've seen that

42:38

game from him. He has

42:40

not scored a touchdown since, let's see here,

42:42

since week 12 against

42:45

Buffalo. So it's been a while. He's not

42:47

good at the game. He's not good

42:49

at the game, man. It's been a while, obviously it's a really

42:51

good spot at home against the Cardinals. So

42:54

I think he's an early guy to peg in and

42:56

he's like, man, in tournaments he looks really fun. This

43:00

price shocked me. It's Devontae Adams, it's only 7.4. And

43:05

the headline's gonna be Aiden

43:07

O'Connell didn't throw for any passing

43:09

yards in the second, third, or fourth quarter and that

43:11

is hilarious to think about. But the

43:13

match-up against the Colts is beautiful

43:15

against outside wide receivers. Like

43:18

they've been giving up the entire year and Adams'

43:20

target share with Aiden O'Connell has been about 30%

43:22

the entire time that

43:24

we've seen those start. So Adams,

43:28

for tournaments, at least is way cheaper than he should

43:30

be because we know his upside, right? His upside is

43:32

102 and it's a dome game. So

43:36

I just wanted to throw him out there, especially if Josh

43:38

Jacobs isn't there, you could see even more of

43:41

a condensed target share. Who do

43:43

you wanna throw out this week? Yeah, I'll keep

43:45

throwing out Rishi Rice. I know that the box

43:47

score results on Monday weren't awesome but

43:49

he still had 12 targets. And

43:52

just again, keep looking at the state of the wide

43:54

receiver room, like this team. And we

43:56

talked about that with Mike right on the Dynasty show. It's like get

43:58

my home's legit. Kelsey's

44:00

getting a little older. Everyone

44:02

else out there is just kind of running around.

44:04

MBS is doing literally nothing. It's the

44:07

Rashid Rice show and at 6.9, it

44:09

feels a little expensive for the rookie, but

44:11

he's playing every down. And you can kind

44:13

of pencil him in for double digit targets every week. Good

44:15

matchup against N'Zee this week. So I like Rashid Rice. So

44:18

you mentioned a Lava earlier at 6.8. I

44:21

also think Rashid Shaheed is interesting. 4.6

44:24

Tampa Bay gives up the third highest explosive

44:26

pass rate in the league. You saw Ridley

44:28

get there this past week with

44:30

targets even though the game was gross and

44:32

they were boat racing them. So Saints

44:35

wide receivers make for really

44:37

good bring backs this week. You're gonna

44:39

have the Mike Evans, Marshawn Lattimore

44:41

narrative that's gonna be thrown out too in

44:43

that game. But that's a sneaky game. I

44:46

like that one a lot. But it's just sneaky. Lattimore's on IR.

44:49

He is? He hasn't played in a very long time. Oh.

44:53

You're gonna get the narrative and it doesn't work. Come

44:56

on Kyle. Aren't you plugged into the IDP

44:58

streets? You

45:00

know, I actually do have some good IDP friends

45:02

out there. The IDP show, they're

45:05

good people, but I do not play. Yeah, me either.

45:07

Man, I can't imagine devoted that much

45:09

time to both sides of the ball. Not

45:12

for me, but hey, if you like it, it's your thing. Go for it.

45:14

Yeah, there's good people out there. JSN

45:17

is 4.8 against Steelers who've been

45:19

given up to slot wide receivers.

45:21

That one's interesting. You have Pop

45:24

Douglas who is good for seven points

45:26

and nothing else. He had

45:28

12 this past week against Denver, sir. Not

45:31

in my half point league. Yeah, we're

45:33

talking drafting, full point PPR. He

45:37

just earns targets, right? And in this

45:39

offense, he's kind of the only

45:41

guy you can really, I don't wanna say

45:44

depend on because it's not like you're getting upside, but

45:46

Hunter Henry banged up, Juju still banged

45:49

up, Taekwon Thornton

45:51

and whoever else are just kind of rotational

45:53

pieces. It's him, right? So I think

45:55

Pop Douglas makes sense if you're looking for a cheap play

45:57

early in the week. Curtis

45:59

Samuel. 4.4 in that game

46:01

against the San Francisco 49ers once again. It's

46:04

kind of basically the same thing as

46:06

Pop Douglas, except we've seen ceiling games

46:08

for Curtis Samuel. We've seen touchdowns from him

46:10

too, so Sam Howell has to throw 40

46:13

times or Jacobi Percet has to

46:15

step in and throw as well. Then

46:17

yeah, Curtis Samuel kind of makes sense as a

46:19

cheap PPR option. Tied

46:22

in this week, you know, you have Kelsey on

46:24

the slate who's expensive. You have

46:26

some other guys that you can pay up for, but I feel

46:28

like this is going to be a week if I don't play

46:30

Trey McBride, then I'm probably going

46:32

to have to punt because I got to save somewhere

46:35

and I don't mind some of the cheap options. So

46:37

Trey McBride at 5.9, we're

46:39

always going to talk about him. Chigg,

46:44

did you see what Chigg did this past week, man? I

46:47

believe he scored a touchdown. Yeah, he

46:49

scored a touchdown like we talked about this past week.

46:51

He was popping in the hasn't scored a touchdown

46:53

yet model scores the touchdown. It

46:55

just took Derek Henry throwing him the ball

46:57

to get in the end. Don't worry about

47:00

that. Yeah. So Chigg,

47:02

3.6 at Houston

47:04

and they've been giving up a lot

47:06

to tight ends. You

47:08

have Gerald Everett. I

47:12

always want Gerald Everett to be a thing. I've been

47:14

wanting for about seven years and it just hasn't

47:16

happened. Yeah. And

47:18

you know, when you think about him, it's like, man, is there really any upside?

47:20

But you could say that for any of the tight ends in this range and

47:22

at 3,500 for a guy who's

47:25

seen eight, eight, eight targets three weeks in

47:27

a row, if Keenan Allen continues to miss,

47:30

I think it makes sense if you're looking

47:32

for an okay floor play. And

47:35

Denver, man, they funnel targets to the tight end. Yeah.

47:38

Okay. I don't mind it.

47:40

Juwan Johnson is another name I'll throw out there. If a

47:42

lobby is banged up, it's at Tampa Bay, 3.4. He's

47:45

kind of like a wide receiver. And

47:48

then at defense, we both liked the Broncos early in the

47:50

week at 2.9 against Easton

47:52

Stick. That's not great. And

47:55

then Baltimore, once again, the defense is priced

47:57

as if they were going to lose. I

48:00

think Baltimore is kind of an interesting tournament play early in the

48:02

week at 2.8 at home against Miami. Especially

48:07

if you just want to wipe out that game and just, if

48:09

you're looking for a GPC leverage because everyone probably is

48:11

going to play Tyreek, makes sense to

48:13

me if you want to get a little game theory in there. Yep,

48:16

and then Denver on FanDuel as well. So I think Denver

48:18

is going to be the play in

48:20

cash this week. Just seems like a safe

48:22

floor. Let's see, Denver

48:25

is a five and a half point home favorite and

48:27

the Chargers team applied total what I talked about earlier,

48:29

I like the under at 16 and a half. So

48:32

we'll find out later in the week which

48:34

ones we like. If you want to play with

48:36

us, go to ballersdfs.com, our

48:38

DraftKings League, FanDuelers, DFS, Borg and

48:40

Betts. You can jump in a league, enter

48:43

the contest, hang out with us, we'll

48:45

even try to throw out one for that Saturday

48:47

contest, the Detroit and

48:50

Dallas. That one's going to be a, wait,

48:53

not Detroit Dallas. Which game is it?

48:55

Yeah, Saturday night, it's Monday Night Football

48:57

on Saturday. Is

48:59

that what they're calling it? Yeah, it is the Monday Night

49:01

Crew doing the game. I

49:04

can't keep up with anything, we just did Christmas

49:06

man. Nothing makes sense. And

49:08

the next time, it doesn't anymore. You know what does make sense though?

49:11

Go to footclanvote.com. Oh. If

49:13
