- 2:23nine Ers, the two number one seeds in the AFC and the NFC.
- 2:27That one's going to be a banger. Forty nine Ers favored by five and
- 2:30a half six. I mean, we're recording this on Saturday. Could have
- 2:32changed, you know at the time you're listening to this, but shouldn't have

- 3:57credit card information required, nothing like that at all. Hoop, I am
- 4:00gonna flip it over. Now, I'm gonna go over to the slate for
- 4:04Monday. Here, I just want to see three gamer for Monday. We
- 4:10got it. Pop it over here to our partner at the Solver, and
- 4:14we've got them all here. Right. So it is a similar setup to
- 4:17what I call as you guys all make fun of me for American Thanksgiving because
- 4:20I'm Canadian, but I love that day, love that slate. It's very
- 4:24similar, right, we have a segmented slate where it's one game, then
- 4:27another, then another. Opportunity for late swap and things like that can come
- 4:30into effect. But give me your first thoughts on this one, Hoop,
- 4:34because I was talking with Mayo about it a little bit on our show the
- 4:36other day and we talked through Like again, we know the game at the
- 4:41end of the day is the most anticipated. People are talking super Bowl preview
- 4:44all these other things. Sure one of those teams will find a way to
- 4:46mess it up well before the Super Bowl ever gets there. But even like
- 4:49the division games of the other two, and it's the Mahomes, Kelsey's at
- 4:54home, it's Hurts and what they've been doing over there at home against the
- 4:57Giants team in the fun around Devido. So that's your first take on this
- 5:00grand scheme overview. Yeah, I mean, so one piece of news,
- 5:04again depends on when you're watching. The two piece of news that are important
- 5:10Josh Jacobs questionable, he was a limited participant on Friday, and we're recording
- 5:14this on Saturday. Would kind of need that news. And then another piece
- 5:17of news that's pretty important I think is the Chiefs running back where McKinnon's questionable
- 5:25and Edwards Hilaire and as of Friday, neither of them have practice, so
- 5:28it could be a one man backfield in Pacheco, which makes it pretty interesting.
- 5:32That game is one Ethan, so it's the first game on the slate,
- 5:38so we should have the news at that point. But that's, you
- 5:41know, two pieces of information that's very important, and then how you handle
- 5:44these potential blowout spots. The Chiefs are favored by ten, the Eagles are
- 5:46favored by thirteen and a half. It's one of those class for the Eagles.
- 5:50It's one of those classic just bounce back spots. And we've talked about
- 5:54these spots all season long. Eagles coming off I believe three losses in a
- 5:59row. This just is this is the get right spot. I mean,
- 6:01unfortunately for the Giants, the Eagles are gonna be hungry and they're gonna want
- 6:05to right the ship. So I think it's a really really bad spot for
- 6:09the Giants, which we'll talk about when we get to that game. That
- 6:12position, and then you know, it all culminates with that Ravens forty nine
- 6:15ers game where a lot of people are gonna want to be on that one.
- 6:18But the problem is on the Ravens side, It's like, man,
- 6:20they're always going to be a tough team to look to get exposure to because
- 6:25it's you know, Lamar Jackson, a few different running backs that can get
- 6:28the ball. You know, Ey Flowers, Are you excited to play him?
- 6:30Odell Beckham likely that sort of thing. So I think when it's all
- 6:34said and done, I mean, it's gonna be a lot of forty nine
- 6:36ers that people end up getting to. But we'll see, you know,
- 6:39we'll break it all down. Yeah, just looking at our projections and stuff
- 6:42too. We're gonna go position by position because then we can talk through kind
- 6:45of how it relates to the slate, Like you mentioned it right here.
- 6:46When you've got Jalen Hurts at seventy six hundred, but Patrick Mahomes one hundred
- 6:51bucks less, Lamar Jackson two hundred bucks less, like you just sort of
- 6:55by price. I had to buy value. But just to show it,
- 6:57that's going to sort of frame things up for how you go about the sligh.
- 7:00And then you mentioned it too, obviously if you've got you know,
- 7:01McKinnon out or something like that, and then Pacheco is gonna become extremely popular
- 7:05and you'll see more Jalen Hurts lineups where you can fit in Pachecko as the
- 7:10kcpiece and then do something else there. But one thing I will say,
- 7:13hoop, and just to segue it in, I just don't see how people
- 7:16get to Lamar very much here, and maybe even Mahomes. I always say,
- 7:20never Mahomes. That's the main slate thing. Obviously, when we get
- 7:23shorter slates, it's kind of intriguing. But look at the value. This
- 7:26is no different anywhere you go around the industry. Hurts is gonna pop for
- 7:29good reason like crazy. He gets those one yard touchdown pushes and jobs whatever
- 7:32you want to call it. But Purdy is another good value and he's below
- 7:36all of them. So it really does look like it's gonna be Hurts,
- 7:40Purdy, nothing really on these bottom two guys. And then I guess Mahomes
- 7:45and Lamar will get some because it gets spread out, but they would have
- 7:46to be squeezed at least a little bit. Here. You would think,
- 7:49what's your take on this quarterback position? Hey, I think Lamar gets squeezed
- 7:53a lot because it's like, again for the reasons I just mentioned, like
- 7:57who do you want to play him with? It's just not comfortable and people
- 8:00are gonna want to pair with their quarterbacks. It's just not a comfortable pairing
- 8:03wherever you look. I mean it's you know, Zay Flowers, Odell.
- 8:07The natural pairing will be Isaiah likely, but he's the one that gets squeezed
- 8:11the most, just because of how people want to build their teams. You
- 8:18know, the one thing that definitely stands out to me is you probably need
- 8:20a big boy score from this position today. You have four guys I think
- 8:24they can get up there. You have Hurts, you have Mahomes, you
- 8:26have Lamar Jackson, you have Brock Purty. So you're gonna need You're gonna
- 8:30need a score. You're gonna need probably twenty five plus out of this position
- 8:33uh to be enough to get the job done. You know, Patrick Mahomes,
- 8:37I think there is a case to be made for him today in the
- 8:41slave. But still, even if you want the twenty five, you just
- 8:43hasn't gotten it done. And they have a check go back and they're favored
- 8:46by ten. So you know, for me, there's two clear plays at
- 8:52the position that I want to get really overweight on, you know, Hurts
- 8:56and Purty. This is a slate where I just don't play those chief guys.
- 9:00To be honest, They'll get a little they'll be low on, but
- 9:01they will get a little bit of ownership. But in my head, if
- 9:03I think they can't be the guy, I'm crossing off a big chunk of
- 9:07teams that will play those guys because a three game slate they will get some
- 9:11ownership. But I think this is a slate where at quarterback you need the
- 9:15big boy scorers. So I'm gonna focus on the guys that can get those
- 9:18big boy scorers. And I think Lamar Jackson's the lowest zoned. I think
- 9:24Jalen Hurts is the highest zone. But to me, man, this is
- 9:28a spot I think the Eagles put up a big number and they just beat
- 9:31the shit on the giants on the slate on the sly. Yeah, so
- 9:35sure, that's a good call there, I think one of the other two.
- 9:37We always do it when we go, when we do the position by
- 9:41position for the shorter slates. I like it because you can get slate dynamics
- 9:43as well. Look like at running Back. Of course we're gonna get to
- 9:46McCaffrey when we get there in a second, but just after that, price
- 9:50drops off a cliff and it's not like I think people are gonna be super
- 9:52interested in a guy like Barkley when they're going up for McCaffrey or down for
- 9:56Pacheco or Swift or some of those other guys. You go to wide receiver,
- 10:00it's aj Brown. You can fit Deebo kind of in there by,
- 10:03like Devonte at seventy three hundred, like everyone here, very affordable and there's
- 10:07cheap options to go to as well. Kelsey then falls off a cliff defense
- 10:11always cheap eagles being the most expensive, so you can easily fit to your
- 10:15original point where I'm going with this. On the Aidan o'connells and Tommy Debidos,
- 10:20it's not like they get you a whole lot more. Then you can
- 10:22just get those points at another position, and you probably need, like you
- 10:26said, the twenty five to twenty eight plus maybe thirty plus points out of
- 10:30these guys. The interesting point was the never Mahomes one is he didn't get
- 10:33it back here against the Chargers, but beside that, not very many over
- 10:37twenty one at all. So it just has not been the case. And
- 10:41there is some interesting points to this on these two guys here, because with
- 10:45Mahomes and Lamar, they're squeezed in between the other two good plays like you
- 10:48talked about Hurtz and Purdy. Forget these guys at the bottom for a second.
- 10:52Mahomes, if Pacheco becomes the guy, which could happen with these injuries
- 10:56and stuff like that, the Patsic attack with Kansas City is actually the leverage
- 11:01and wouldn't surprise anyone if Mahomes comes out and has a big game on Christmas
- 11:05Day during the holiday season while everybody's watching from home all that stuff, you
- 11:09could definitely see that. So I don't care as much about the box stores
- 11:11and the never Mahome stuff that I always say, because it's hard to get
- 11:15him right. It's a three game slate. It's hard to get Lamar right.
- 11:16What do you pick it? Say, Flowers Bateman likely Beckham Junior like
- 11:20some of those running bit hard to get him right hurts. You could still
- 11:24make the case there's multiple running backs, there's lots of receivers, tight ends
- 11:28things. It's still tougher. And then Perty is the one you feel safer
- 11:31with. But it's expensive. CMC Debo ayuk All. I believe over seven
- 11:35k on this sixty seven hundred you get as cheap as for Auk. Yes,
- 11:39Kittle is fifty five hundred, but for the position that's the second highest
- 11:43there. So I think these guys get squeezed a little. Also, one
- 11:46last thing I'll say, Lamar Jackson versus NFC teams has actually been a thing.
- 11:50He's been showing up. I said it on our earlier show this week
- 11:54when we did the two games slate for Saturday. I actually like the Ravens
- 11:56plus six here, and it's not just the Homer effect that being a Ravens
- 12:00fan, I think this is when the Ravens show up, and then I
- 12:03think they'll disappear later on. I've been here too many times to see this
- 12:05happen, so I think it's gonna be a thing where they're in the game,
- 12:09they're involved, they're ahead, and it's whatever Brock Purty does down the
- 12:11stretch to get him back in it if he can. If not, Ravens
- 12:15win, they claim it they're the spot, and then they fail later on
- 12:18in the season. That's just how I've seen it play out. But anything
- 12:20else you want to add at the quarterback position based on any of that stuff,
- 12:24I really just am interested in those top four. If I had to
- 12:26pick a cheap guy, it would be de Veto just for the stack options.
- 12:30But I don't really love those two cheap guys at all. Yeah,
- 12:33Yeah, it's good just going to be the main guys for me. Again,
- 12:37I think you need a big score. You have four guys that can
- 12:39put up the big scores at varying ownership. Again, it's gonna be Hurts
- 12:43and Purty that get the ownership. But yeah, I definitely want to try
- 12:48to get some homes and Lamar Jackson as well. And at this point,
- 12:54you know, still a couple of days, I'll likely just be full fading
- 12:56the other two. Yeah, And I can see where that comes from.
- 13:00I think the other thing too, is like you say like, okay,
- 13:01I guess with Aidan O'Connell real quick, and then we're gonna go to this
- 13:05running back position that you can say, okay, Adams would drag them along.
- 13:07It just hasn't been there, so it's tough to really see that you
- 13:11could still get a piece of these guys through their place. Like you could
- 13:13play at DeVante Adams here if you want at seventy three hundred as a one
- 13:16off, hope that he collects eight for eighty, and if he doesn't get
- 13:20in the box, that's still pretty good score eight for eighty at seventy three
- 13:22hundred. You could get away with that some of the other guys as well.
- 13:26But like the Slaton's and Wandale's, I think even if you said,
- 13:28like, well, I'll just stack up to Veto with Wandale and Slaton and
- 13:31I can fit whoever I want, well, true, what do you think
- 13:35all those lineups look like anyway? And then not only do you need that
- 13:37to happen, you need the other big boy quarterbacks to fail, You need
- 13:41the other stuff to come through for you, and you need to somehow get
- 13:45unique on this slate as well, which is a shorter slate. So I
- 13:48just don't see it personally for me. For there, let's move on.
- 13:50Let's go to these running backs, and it starts at the top, very
- 13:54obvious with Christian McCaffrey. We watched him put up those twenty to I mean,
- 13:58shit, if you want to go back to it or who McCaffrey's like
- 14:01what we could say about mahomes at the previous position, it was a bunch
- 14:03of twenties. You're like, he's gonna have that big boy game soon,
- 14:07and then last week he had it forty four point seven, absolutely crushed ninety
- 14:11five hundred. But we already did the dynamics of the slate. We're still
- 14:15very affordable at this price. Tagg, talk to me about CMC where he
- 14:18stands for you on this slate, and then other running backs that you might
- 14:22like on a three game slate. I mean, you just got to take
- 14:26your twenty with the forty point upside and find a way to make it work
- 14:30and as many lineups as possible. Now it could be challenging on the slate.
- 14:33I haven't built teams at this point, but we are lacking value and
- 14:35I just ran one hundred and fifty same setup you have here on the solver
- 14:41with the ship and nation projections. And what happens when you just naturally run
- 14:46these teams is you do get the high end quarterbacks, you do get McCaffrey,
- 14:50and then you get to wide receiver. Take a guess what is doing
- 14:52at wide receiver. You're playing a bunch of cheap ass dudes. You're playing
- 14:56a bunch of cheap guys and taking a ton of risk. That's how a
- 15:01lot of people will be building their teams. A high end quarterback, Christian
- 15:03McCaffrey and a bunch of punt wide receivers. So that is going to be
- 15:07the popular type build. But man, I just got it. I have
- 15:13to be on McCaffrey in a big way. I mean, it's just on
- 15:16a three game slate, his workload, they're not mixing anyone else. And
- 15:20this is a game they're gonna it's a statement game for him. They're gonna
- 15:22want to win this. So many different ways to get there. You can
- 15:24get there with the touchdowns, you can get there with the receptions. You
- 15:28can get there if they're in the lead, he can get there if they're
- 15:31trailing. Just a full proof play in on him in a big way.
- 15:35Now, Pacheco would would get would be the number two guy. If McKinnon
- 15:41and ceh are ruled out, He's probably the number two guy regardless. One
- 15:46guy though, that I do want exposure to is DeAndre Swift. I want
- 15:50to be on the Eagles in a big, big way today. I think
- 15:52that they're on the late. I think the Eagles take care of business against
- 15:56the Giants. I think they put up a big voice. Score want to
- 15:58be in on him, and then we got to see on Josh Jacobs if
- 16:00he is out. You know, Zamir White at five K, it's not
- 16:04a cheap cheap price tag. I mean, at five K, still got
- 16:07to go out there and do something. I mean, he's only fourteen hundred
- 16:11dollars cheaper than Pachecko, but he would be a priority play. They used
- 16:15him a lot in that last game that Jacob Smiths. He got what seventeen
- 16:18carries in full three receptions, So he will be a big part of what
- 16:23they do if Jacobs is out. So we need that news and by the
- 16:26time you're watching this, we might already have the news, so you can
- 16:30you can do what you need to with that information. But McCaffrey, p
- 16:34Checko swift, you know, potentially Zamir White. That's kind of where I'm
- 16:40looking at this position. Yeah, just real quick note because you said it's
- 16:42all bring it up, like again, we're on the running back position.
- 16:45Yeah, that's that common build right there. That has to be the common
- 16:48build. Yeah, and that's what I'm seeing. So like this is five
- 16:51k left. I love McCaffrey too, I do worry. Like I said,
- 16:53one thing is Baltimore defense is for real, So that can still lead
- 16:56to a ton of checkdowns. I'm not saying like he's getting twe we know
- 17:00this, it's could that limit him to that. The challenge is it's still
- 17:03hard to go find the points elsewhere and feel safe with them. But I
- 17:07guess just to flip this quickly, like this is five k left with three
- 17:11positions including the defense. Let me just scrap this for a second and see
- 17:15what the next version of like kind of a pay up looks like. And
- 17:19I'll go to h likely here and I'll still keep pa checko. I mean,
- 17:26what one would you like better? So, like going back to that
- 17:27build, I know you probably didn't like memorize it, but it was hurts
- 17:30with CNC No, I know exactly what it was. Yeah, and then
- 17:33the two Giants guys and Odell Beckham. I mean I need I need Eagles
- 17:41exposure. Like if I'm building one team, it has to have okay there,
- 17:45Yeah, so you put in swift Okay, yeah, probably the the
- 17:49other route still again, like you're it's this will be different though, This
- 17:55is going to be different than what people do because McCaffrey's gonna be very,
- 17:57very popular, and the natural way to go about doing this is pay up
- 18:03at quarterback, pay up at with McCaffrey, and then a bunch of cheap
- 18:07wide receivers. So guys like Deebo squeezed a little bit, guys like Ayuk
- 18:12squeezed a little bit. They just have to be. I mean, they
- 18:15just they just have to be the way the slate's shaping up. And you
- 18:18know, Rice, it's the one that's gonna get the ownership at sixty five
- 18:22hundred at wide receiver. Yeah. And the other thing about this build is
- 18:26as much as I love it, because you know, I love good correlation
- 18:27and stuff and stuff that makes sense, like you see Okay Purdy, Samuel
- 18:32Ayuk and I'm leveraging CMC. Love it. Running it back instead of a
- 18:36cheap Beckham or Bateman or something like that. In our projections. They like
- 18:38Beckham. Right now, you can get Likely in there. That's fine,
- 18:41not like you'll be you know, low own, just to say it,
- 18:44okay, that makes sense, all right, I got a secondary stack in
- 18:47there where if I'm not playing Hurts, maybe I get some Swift. The
- 18:51Checko's just a quote unquote lock because people like them the spot like that's how
- 18:53people view it, not what I'm saying. But people will just plug that
- 18:56in because I'm not getting to Mahomes. I'm not getting rice here, so
- 19:00it looks like this, but I will say this who This is a lot
- 19:03of what ifs and maybe's like oh Purdy with Samuel and Dayuk and it's not
- 19:07CMC. Swift needs to come through. But what about Hurts when you get
- 19:11to that one yardline Pachecko, but he's super chalk. There's other places that
- 19:15you can go. Wandale typically just a PPR safety type guy like like,
- 19:19again, this is a lot of maybe's more than likely's. If you will
- 19:25so I don't know. The other lineup has a lot more safety to it,
- 19:27but also feels like you're you're risking a lot less as long as your
- 19:30little your wide receivers get their cheap PPR points. But some of them are
- 19:34even carrying over to be the same thing, So I do agree with you
- 19:37on that as far as the rest of the position goes, like Barkley is
- 19:41for sure getting squeezed here like to nothing because Pachecko Swift when they're not playing
- 19:47hurts or even with hurts McCaffrey obvious, Gus Edwards, I don't really love
- 19:52the matchup, but obviously when you have a guy like Keaton Mitchell who sucks
- 19:56to say but obviously out for the season with that injury, hate to see
- 19:59that, but you know, you get a guy like Gaz Edward's maybe more
- 20:00like a FanDuel spot. Obviously, touchdowns still count and are good are in
- 20:04play here on DraftKings, but like he could get uh you know, on
- 20:07ground and pound type style here and just when they get close, he ends
- 20:11up getting a couple of touchdowns. Again, don't feel safe about it,
- 20:14but could happen. After that though, things just drop off a clip.
- 20:17I guess. One last take is I think Jacobs was back at practice or
- 20:21is expected to be, and they think that he's gonna be Okay, Well,
- 20:23we'll wait and see. But if Jacobs is in at sixty three hundred,
- 20:27where are you standing with him? Because he's one hundred bucks less than
- 20:30Pachecko on the opposite side of that game. Yeah, I think I preferred
- 20:36Pachecko and Swift. To be honest with you, I just I have to
- 20:41get I have to get Eagles exposure. We'll talk about it when we get
- 20:44to wide receiver. It's gonna be tough, like AJ Brown's eighty five hundred.
- 20:47Like, if you want to play a J Brown like, you're probably
- 20:48if you're playing Hurts and AJ Brown, you're probably out on a guy like
- 20:52McCaffrey. It's it's gonna be hard. Yeah, if you put him in,
- 20:56yeah, you're not. You can't do it. So it's uh a
- 20:59J. Brown was gonna get squeezed. I want to find a way to
- 21:02get the guy like AJ Brown. I want all these Eagles guys again.
- 21:04I think they put up a big score. I think they put up a
- 21:07really big score against the Giants. So if I have to make sacrifices elsewhere,
- 21:11that's fine, But I don't anticipate it in a lot of Josh Jacobs
- 21:15regardless, what about one more thing, not the I mean the running joke
- 21:18is obviously Boston Scott versus the giants he just crushes. Can't really get to
- 21:22that. The guys can getting no work. If they just do it to
- 21:23troll, then fine, But there has been at least a little bit of
- 21:27work there for game well throughout he's had some of these temps. I just
- 21:30don't know if it's enough. Yeah, just tough with these prices, man,
- 21:33Like they just don't bring down these running backs enough, Like he should
- 21:37be like four K. I would have loved if they put him at like
- 21:40thirty seven hundred or something where he probably should be on the slate, like
- 21:44add some add some appeal to these backup running backs, especially on these smaller
- 21:48slates, like bring it down a little bit because it's you know, he'd
- 21:52still be low owned at thirty seven hundred, but I think it would make
- 21:56sense, like at forty eight hundred, he's too close to those other dudes.
- 21:59He's got to do something. Yeah, And that's the other thing to
- 22:02the floor. Now. Obviously, since I was like before last season,
- 22:03I think that when they changed it to four K for the minimum price,
- 22:07I mean they're not even putting Boston Scott at the minimum price and putting them
- 22:10at forty three hundred. So I think some people reach here. I guess,
- 22:14you know, to your original point back one position. If I was
- 22:15reaching, i'd probably reach more at running back than at quarterback. I just
- 22:19think you need one of those top four guys. It's just the way it's
- 22:22gonna shake out. But for running back, I'm not gonna do it a
- 22:25bunch. But like you said, there's spots where you just can't get to
- 22:27it. And the way I'd have to look at it is like, Okay,
- 22:29if I want Hurts and aj Brown, plugging and McCaffrey seems impossible.
- 22:34Plugging in Swift at least seems possible. But if you want to play for
- 22:38like a blowout script or something and they do just go off, I would
- 22:41I would be able to say, Okay, maybe I can get to something
- 22:44like this to find a little more money. I just I find it really
- 22:47challenging there. But that's where I would reach at the running back position,
- 22:49where if somehow the Ravens can just slow down McCaffrey while twenty raw points plays
- 22:56at nine point five K, if that's all he could get to that could
- 22:59be a little bit tougher to see on these winning or optimal lineups where you
- 23:02could squeak in some tens or twelves from much cheaper prices because you need the
- 23:07scores at these other positions, and wide receiver, which we're about to get
- 23:10to, is definitely going to be one of them. When you sort up
- 23:12my price, you can see it's aj Brown drops off three guys in the
- 23:17sevens, drops off a couple guys in the sixes. But then there's lots
- 23:21of options down here that I think people are going to talk themselves into and
- 23:23feel comfortable with it based on getting the other safety into their lineup. So
- 23:27what are you doing here? Yeah, so the field is going it's going
- 23:32to be Rashi, Rice and then a lot of cheap guys. That's what
- 23:34everyone's going to be doing. And you know, Rice makes a lot of
- 23:37sense. I mean he's clearly building a connection with Patrick Mahomes, which is
- 23:41if you're a wide receiver, that's a good spot to be a solid connection
- 23:45with a guy like Patrick Mahomes. He's out on the field a ton totally
- 23:48totally get it. But for me personally on the side, I gotta find
- 23:52a way to get ag I gotta find a way to do it. Maybe
- 23:55it is. Maybe it is getting less Christian McCaffrey. I hope it is
- 24:00just the twenty fantasy point game. Like you know that there's the real possibility
- 24:06McCaffrey goes out and gets twenty and he's not on the optical. So again,
- 24:10I haven't built teams, but I know I need to get aj Brown.
- 24:15I need to get these forty nine ers pass catchers in in there,
- 24:18you know, and I want some Devanta Smith as well. So maybe for
- 24:22me it is less Christian McCaffrey. Again, I haven't built teams. We
- 24:25will see, but the dynamic of the slate and what people are gonna do
- 24:29is spend up at quarterback, play Christian McCaffrey, and then play a bunch
- 24:33of cheap wide receivers. So I think one of the best ways to kind
- 24:37of leverage that on the slate is to play some of the higher end wide
- 24:41receivers. You laid out one perfect example of leverage off McCaffrey by going purty
- 24:45in the pass catchers, and then you had you had like likely in there
- 24:51or something like that on the on the Baltimore side. So stuff like that
- 24:55I think makes a lot of sense on the slate. You know, anytime
- 24:57you know what the doing, which you know at this point, I feel
- 25:02very confident in spend up at quarterback, spend up at at on McCaffrey and
- 25:07then cheap wide receivers. You know the leverage points. So sign me up
- 25:11for aj Brown, Debo a Devanta Smith at this position, you know,
- 25:15getting over the field on all those guys. Yeah, just real quick,
- 25:18just showed people again this is our partner. You can do is other optimizer
- 25:22as well, but just to bring it up the obviously, I know some
- 25:23people just like, oh, I'll just ex them out and see what happens
- 25:26or whatever. You can just do your sets or however you build by adjustments,
- 25:30Like you could either just tone them down some with the boost down.
- 25:33But I just changed McCaffrey to nineteen. Just said, okay, doesn't quite
- 25:37get to tweet gets to twenty but doesn't break it. What does that do?
- 25:40Well, now put some number five on the list and drop them down,
- 25:42but I'll still get a big majority of them in my lineups. I'll
- 25:45just now be able to see what lineups do I have that don't have them.
- 25:48What do those look like? Because and then you can just swap it
- 25:51right back and you're good. You're back. But just to note, who
- 25:53like this looks like a common build here too, right, you see like
- 25:56a cash game setup that looks pretty good on You're loving this, and then
- 26:00you can even throw Pa Checko in here. And once you get one of
- 26:04those cheap wide receivers in, You've got Odell, You've got Slayton fits in,
- 26:10You've got Justin Watson, you've got Hyatt, some of these guys Baitman.
- 26:14You could fit another guy in there. But with the cheaper d which
- 26:17is under the average, and two more spots, you can make this lineup
- 26:19makes sense too. So I do see where this feels pretty good. And
- 26:22when you've got Hurts who could just dominate that quarterback position, McCaffrey who could
- 26:27run away with it at running back, Pachecko who could be the only show
- 26:30in town, and Rice can still get there with Pacheco. And then you
- 26:34just need these cheaper guys to do a few little things, and they're in
- 26:37really good spots. Likely still know Matt Mark Andrews went to the ir Don,
- 26:41right, so we know how that shaped out Robinson, not like they
- 26:45have a bunch of other bodies there, so it's kind of just somebody that
- 26:47can rack them up. That's what I was saying earlier. The other builds
- 26:49will look good and make sense, and we're gonna take them on myself included.
- 26:53I'm gonna be building like that for tournaments. But these builds still have
- 26:56a lot more safety, a better projection, and you can still get different
- 27:00with construction and certain pieces within it. As far as the other wide receivers
- 27:06go, I'm gonna do it by price just to get this angle on it.
- 27:07It looks like aj Brown Debo for sure. Both get pretty squeezed because
- 27:14I think even this time around, now you're getting Nyouq for a thousand less.
- 27:17I think a lot of people would just be happier to drop down to
- 27:18him. I think Adams doesn't get much ownership. Zay Flowers, Odell Bateman,
- 27:23I like him. In the Lamar builds, I think if Lamar gets
- 27:26there, we saw this a couple of years ago in the large field million
- 27:30makers wherever. It's all just play naked Lamar or just play Lamar Andrews and
- 27:33that's it. But if you want to hit in some of these bigger tournaments.
- 27:37I mean, it's a million dollars up top of a huge field that
- 27:38you're talking about beating on Monday. You kind of want Lamar to get all
- 27:42the way there and in ways that others might not be. So again,
- 27:45I don't see how many people are gonna have this build. But if you
- 27:48go Lamar and you like Zay and Beckham, you don't play likely. Let's
- 27:53say you play George Kittle as a way to get different there. Well,
- 27:56now, like Hoop says, you got to get some Philly in there,
- 28:00so you get DeAndre Swift and I'll do it differently. I'll do the defense
- 28:03here. Look at that, I still got six nice second squad. Yeah,
- 28:07real nice squad. But but again, how comfortable do you feel,
- 28:10say Flowers nodel back and you're like yeah, and then Swift has to not
- 28:14get vultured. But though, if you're playing, I mean, now that
- 28:15you know, you look at this a little bit. If you're going to
- 28:18be in on Lamar, Lamar is actually a cheap stack. I mean,
- 28:21now now that we're going through and this is you know, essentially kind of
- 28:23like a first look. I haven't looked at this slate. Yet, Uh,
- 28:26Lamar Jackson is a cheap stack. He's gonna be lower owned than Purdy
- 28:32and Herts. Look at his weapons, say Flowers fifty five hundred, Odell
- 28:37forty three, and then the likely is super cheap as well. So,
- 28:41uh, you know, Lamar Jackson is I think an interesting stack here because
- 28:47of the weapons and the price tags of those weapons. Yeah, and look
- 28:51at Zay. I mean we've done this. We've played this game before with
- 28:52the Drake London's of the world, with the Garrett Wilson's of the world,
- 28:56Like don't get any scores on teams with Desmond and Zach Wilson. This is
- 29:00Lamar Jackson. You can make fun of him, call him a running back,
- 29:03whatever you want to do. It's not the Homer. And he's sitting
- 29:06there saying he's great. I'm just telling you he's better than those guys,
- 29:08that's for sure. And he can find these guys he already has you go
- 29:12to uh to Beckham here and it's not gonna be anything crazy. But look
- 29:15at nineteen and eighteen. A sixteen like these will play on this winning.
- 29:21That's a winner on the slate like that. That's uh, he does that
- 29:23on the slate. You need, you need them, and you need other
- 29:26stuff to go your way. But this leaves six k on the table.
- 29:29I just want to very quickly do this six k on the table and you
- 29:33flip it back around and we go to what we said earlier, and this
- 29:40leaves five k. So not only do you pick up a grand that in
- 29:44that spot per player, so you're picking up three thousand dollars with the three
- 29:48spots left, but you also have what would should be a much lower owned
- 29:52lineup because well, yes, Debo might be squeezed a little bit likely,
- 29:56Ayuk and Purdy, you're all getting played here more than lamar Zey, Flowers
- 30:02and Kittle, right, it just is, and you pick up the money.
- 30:04So just flipping the builds doing stuff like that, I think are little
- 30:07ways to do it. And yeah, this does not feel super comfortable either,
- 30:11but you have to know that like it is possible. I mean literally
- 30:14went down at the one last game which led to an earth thing. I
- 30:17know, it's insane how often they get it, but to whose point?
- 30:19What I try to explain too, whether you like it or not oftentimes doesn't
- 30:23matter. This is why people get so confused in dfs like, oh I
- 30:27had that, there's no way that matchup could have got there, or this
- 30:30guy had this battle, or I didn't expect that. It doesn't even matter,
- 30:33it's just your lineup has to tell a story. If I don't have
- 30:37Hurts and I don't have aj Brown, and I don't have Goddard and I
- 30:41don't have DeVante Smith, but they're gonna score twenty eight points, very likely
- 30:45something is wrong with my lineup. So I have to just kind of make
- 30:48it make sense and hope that that's the way it gets there and what is
- 30:51required. If it's dead and it doesn't work out, it was dead anyways,
- 30:55Like the lineup's already in the trash and hopefully within your portfolio there's another
- 30:57line up there. If it's a single entry, you took your shot and
- 31:00it didn't work, and you move on to the next slate, hopefully it
- 31:03was in for an affordable amount for you and less overall, and you get
- 31:06the battle back on the next slate. But anything else, so you want
- 31:08to talk about who When it comes to wide receivers, we're not really dumpster
- 31:12diving here to try and pick it out. If you have some diamond in
- 31:15the rough out there that you like, play them, but play them enough
- 31:18so that it matters. Don't tell me all. I put Trey Tucker in
- 31:22one lineup. Didn't get there though, but at least I got him right.
- 31:25That's that's terrible, really, just being honest, Like that strategy,
- 31:27you have one chance to get there with a one percent owned guy, and
- 31:30then he gets there and the rest of your lineup's dead. If you're gonna
- 31:33play someone like that, get your twenty max and get ten to fifteen percent
- 31:37of them. Mix them into enough lineup so there's at least something in your
- 31:40pool twenty percent, maybe in twenty max for the example, so at least
- 31:42they're in four of your lineups. But who any thoughts on like the punt
- 31:45plays, dumpster diving in general? Anyone your boy Hunter Renfro, Maybe it's
- 31:52anybody here you want to talk about. Yeah, not much. I mean
- 31:53the Giants guys, the cheap Giants guys are going to get the ownership.
- 31:56But it's a you know, this position, it's very important, Like what
- 32:00you do here is very important. And for me, I want to get
- 32:05exposure to the Sam Fran guys, and I want to get exposure to the
- 32:07Eagles guys. That's gonna be my priority when I come here and build my
- 32:10teams. Yeah, one thing I will say, I haven't full Like I'm
- 32:15like hoop, I haven't fully built any figure got to this yet. We
- 32:16have like three slates ahead of this one to get going here. But when
- 32:21I do dumpster dive, one thing I will say, I'll wait on this
- 32:22Q tag with Jennings or whatever and stuff like this and Tony, But like,
- 32:27I would rather dumpster dive, and even if they do get just a
- 32:30little bit more ownership because of this. Yeah, these are big boy scores,
- 32:34but he can catch like a sixty yard touchdown, and guess who he's
- 32:37attached to. A guy that can absolutely throw a sixty yard touchdown, And
- 32:40I can feel very comfortable and safe about that. So I would rather attach
- 32:45some of these punt plays to really good quarterbacks that have the arm capability and
- 32:50the upside to actually get them there, versus saying, well, I watched
- 32:52Jalen Hyatt before and he's had one good game allay, like it could be
- 32:55him. Yeah, if it makes sense, put him in and get enough
- 32:59of them. But to my main point, I want guys that are attached
- 33:02to good quarterbacks, good spots. That's that's my other take. I agree,
- 33:07all right, tight end can move on Kelsey. I don't remember his
- 33:10exact history, but I feel like it's pretty strong. Wasn't the best first
- 33:14game around form only fifteen draftings sports? Realistically, that's been the season.
- 33:17We pulled the game log for Mahomes, the game log for Travis Kelcey surprise
- 33:22surprise, looks very similar. Right. It's those two kind of have been
- 33:25off a little this season. I know everyone had the takes when Taylor Swift
- 33:29was at the game. He crushes. I mean, that's went out the
- 33:30window pretty quick too, so, but this could be the slate who this
- 33:35is a pay down spot for most people on this slate. He's a pay
- 33:38up option, very hard to get to if you're going any of those expensive
- 33:43quarterbacks like Hurts, Mahomes or that, or with Lamar. But at least
- 33:47with Mahomes, you would expect people pair him up. I don't know how
- 33:51how popular this would be, but what's your take at at tight end?
- 33:54This is another This is almost the same as the Hurts, AJ McCaffrey,
- 34:00Mahomes and Travis Kelsey. Different positions, but it's still expensive. Go ahead,
- 34:05Yeah, yeah, so the one fifty I rm without changing anything.
- 34:08How much Kelsey do you think we get man didn't put anything in there,
- 34:15didn't put anything in there. What do you say? Twelve? Yeah?
- 34:17Lower zero? I got zero, Travis Kelsey, Which makes me believe what
- 34:22are we showing? So we got twenty two? Makes me believe that that
- 34:25twenty two is even gonna be a little bit lower than that. The fact
- 34:29that if you just brought it naturally, you don't get any of this guy.
- 34:34I'm gonna try to get some, Like I don't know, it's hard
- 34:36to take a big stance on Kelsey and get like way over the field.
- 34:40I want to try to get some, but it really hasn't been there lately,
- 34:44like you said, like the connection, the thing with the homes,
- 34:46the fact that they're willing to win the ugly games. I just think he
- 34:51comes in really low on. So I do want some Kelsey, you know,
- 34:54likely Goddard Kittle. Kittle's the guy that I got a tongue. So
- 34:59I just ran it and it has shown up in a lot of teams.
- 35:01But yeah, I mean I don't have like a strongly and I do want
- 35:06Goddard a lot at forty seven. I'm going to continue on with my Eagles
- 35:08love. I want every piece of the Eagles offense today. I think they
- 35:13go off. You know where does it go? I don't know, So
- 35:15I'll just take, you know, solid pieces of all of them. Kittle,
- 35:19you know, Kelsey likely interested in all those guys. I'm going to,
- 35:22you know, try to get some exposure the top five showing up here
- 35:27on the list. Yeah, we'll wait on the Meyer news too. I
- 35:30know when May and I looked at this the other day, like we have
- 35:31the lineups for Hooper. If you just want to play them at twenty five
- 35:35hundred, so be it. But let me ask you this who because this
- 35:37is almost identical to the Purdy, Ayuk, Deebo, likely, Swift and
- 35:44Eagles. We kept Swift and Eagles, but we swapped the rest and instead
- 35:49of Purdy and instead of Ayuk and Deebo with Pacheco, we now have Mahomes.
- 35:57Kelsey, you got to drop to Beckham, you got to play Josh
- 36:00Jacobs, assuming he's in on the other side. I mean, where are
- 36:02you at on this because you'd say, okay, this can leverage those Pacheco
- 36:06builds if Pacheco gets super popular. But where where do you stand on something
- 36:09like this? That Party one? To me, this looks way better on
- 36:13Yeah, I mean this will be a lower owned version for sure, Like
- 36:16Kelsey will be low owned. You know, Jacobs will be low owned,
- 36:21I think, regardless of you know, his injury designation whenever we get it
- 36:23like those, those two are going to be like low owned type options.
- 36:28I think Mahomes comes in lower than Hurts and Party. So this is like
- 36:32a leverage type lineup that gets you a little bit different for sure. And
- 36:37I don't hate it again because I want I want some Kelsey. I think
- 36:38Kelsey comes in. I don't know we're showing twenty two. I want to
- 36:43be surprised if it's like thirteen or fourteen or something percent on the slate.
- 36:45So yeah, these aren't updated yet, so great call on that the way
- 36:49to get after it, you talk through tight. I'm pretty good we're gonna
- 36:52go to defense in a second. But I do like to show this because
- 36:53more of a you know, learn from us, and we talk about the
- 36:57more you learn, the more you earn. That's what we're all about at

- 37:37one fifty five, so we don't forget eighty four and one fifty five.
- 37:43You got it, Okay, let's go back here. And then I think
- 37:45it was Pachecko. What was the difference maker here? Maybe it was one
- 37:50more, it wasn't Pacheco, Sorry, it was likely Yeah, And we
- 37:52got about the five K eighty four and one fifty five, So just to
- 37:57give an idea. While this may feel much better on paper, there is
- 38:01more ownership in this line up, so it's definitely more popular build to go
- 38:06this route. And the other build with Mahomes and Kelsey, who almost nobody
- 38:09is on. We didn't even fit in like a Watson or somebody like that.
- 38:14Projects almost identical but at much lower ownership. And just overall you saw
- 38:19like there's multiple levers in there of like no Pacheco, but we have the
- 38:22passing game, no CMC. We don't even have a San Francisco guy in
- 38:25there yet, but there's room to fit one with five thousand left over in
- 38:29ways that we can make things work. So just little things like that that
- 38:31you're looking at, even when you're just handbuilding. I know everyone thinks Optimizer
- 38:36one fifty. Yeah, it's important when you're playing one fifty. You need
- 38:38it and it makes your life a lot easier. I think. I know
- 38:39there's some people our guy double D, we always give him the shout out
- 38:43out there handbuilding in the factory. But for the most part, even when
- 38:46you're using it just for a single entry or a quick glance, this little
- 38:50titbit of information is just how I do it process wise. Hopefully that helps
- 38:52some people out there. I don't have much else to add, hoop,
- 38:54but real quick, one last question I have for you and then we'll go
- 38:58to defense. How much Dallas got Otter was showing up in that dry run
- 39:01and kittleh for percentage? I know you said you were getting more Kittle,
- 39:05but how much of each Kittle again not changing anything, came in an eighty
- 39:08two percent, So he said eighty two percent of lineups Goddard thirty five and
- 39:13those were the top two Goddard Kittle eighty two Goddard thirty five percent. So
- 39:19it is it is doing a lot of double tight end teams without changing much.
- 39:24Yeah, so it was the Goddard number thirty two or thirty five two
- 39:30Kittle thirty five for Goddard. Okay, and yeah, you just brought up
- 39:34a good point which people asked on our last two gamer site. It's the
- 39:36same on the three gamer. You can definitely play two tight ends. Like
- 39:39again, George Hittle is fifty five hundred. That is a way to get
- 39:43a piece of that San Francisco offense. That is not ninety five hundred dollars
- 39:46for McCaffrey. And again, obviously you want McCaffrey, but would it surprise
- 39:51you if McCaffrey had a touchdown and Kittle had a touchdown and Kittle's worth just
- 39:55the same for four thousand dollars less. It's definitely possible. So I do
- 40:00that call out there. I like that you brought that up. Nothing else
- 40:01for me to add their defenses, I mean little things for me who defenses
- 40:07against quarterbacks? Fine, three game are definitely possible that that can happen.
- 40:10The Ravens d could go up against Purty here, you could have something like
- 40:15that. You could have the the Raiders for super cheap up against Mahomes who
- 40:21can make a couple of mistakes but still end up winning the game. It
- 40:23just doesn't matter for me as much as defenses. But I think we'll see
- 40:27people pair up like Swift Eagles, Pacheco Chiefs, things like that. Anything
- 40:31else you have to add with defense before we go to the showdown slate.
- 40:36No fine with the Raiders. I that's the main point here. Like a
- 40:39lot of people avoid the Raiders, but twenty three hundred it gets you into
- 40:43a different you know, pricing range. I'd be fine rolling them and yeah,
- 40:46Mahomes has made mistakes almost every game this season, so I'm fine with
- 40:51that. Yeah, and you got to set up here, these guys are
- 40:52still looking at the numbers. They're playing ball. They're playing ball, I
- 40:55mean their defense. What's the name that That dude's a freaking maniac. Yeah,
- 41:00he's nuts, absolutely nuts. And there was some good stuff obviously.
- 41:04The other thing too is remember the Raiders see the Chiefs quite often. Like
- 41:07if you watched Quarterback on Netflix, there was even there's even situational stuff they
- 41:12were showing on there because Mahomes is one of the featured quarterbacks used in that
- 41:15where Max Crosby was talking shit to him. Like just again, they're talking
- 41:19as boys too. They respect each other in their own position and within the
- 41:22game and what they do. But they have some information. They got some
- 41:24tape both ways. So that's why I said these types of games are still
- 41:29intriguing even though on paper you see okay, twenty five point seventy five fifteen
- 41:32point two five big time favorites for the Chiefs. You think the Raiders don't
- 41:37see that too, they watch all this stuff. Shit, we know guys
- 41:39are getting a tro Calvin Ridley lost the season for betting on sports. They're
- 41:43watching these lines and seeing these things and saying, Okay, we're getting counted
- 41:45out. This is like a super Bowl spot for the Raiders to come in
- 41:49here, and it could be closer than you think. So I got no
- 41:51problem finding stuff like that. Let's swimp over hoop. Let's go to showdown
- 41:57Captain mode. We're just gonna do a quick break down for you guys to
- 42:00wrap this video up as far as the Monday night game goes, so they
- 42:04know many people will be with families eating dinners, holiday friends, family get
- 42:07togethers, things like that. Again, Happy holidays to everybody out there from
- 42:10all of us at ship at Nation, we appreciate you guys. If you

- 42:16That could be your gift to us, we would definitely appreciate it.
- 42:19It's all free to do. We keep all these shows free for you if
- 42:22you will. So let's move on. Let's go to this show down.
- 42:25Say Monday Night, I told you it's gonna be an awesome game. I'm
- 42:29excited for this one. First off, let me ask you this. I
- 42:31asked you on the other show. But now we're live on a different one
- 42:34here. How do you what do you actually think if you just had to,
- 42:36you know, right now, someone put you up and said you got
- 42:37to get this right or you're done. What's the what's the winner? What's
- 42:42the score? What? What do you think happens in this game? You
- 42:45look at this and if you were to just predict the line without seeing it,
- 42:50you probably would most people would say forty nine ers minus three, right,
- 42:53I mean somewhere in that range. Well, they're coming in minus five
- 42:55and a half minus six, So Vegas and the betting po think they're that
- 43:00much better, uh that than the Ravens. I'm gonna lean the forty nine
- 43:05ers side here for for sure, easier plays. You know, this is
- 43:09a tough one though for for showdown, I will say because the forty nine
- 43:14ers, if they win and put up points, Like, so many guys
- 43:17have been the guy that you need, you know what I'm saying. It's
- 43:21been Purty, It's Ben McCaffrey, it's Ben Deebo, it's Ben Ayuk,
- 43:24it's Ben Kittle, Like, there's so many guys that can be the guys
- 43:29you almost have to spread it out at captain if you're if you're under the
- 43:32mindset that the forty nine ers, you know, win this game. On
- 43:37the Baltimore side, it's much more difficult because you know, Lamar Jackson,
- 43:40they've had random running backs, pop in, Odell Beckham's had a big games.
- 43:45Ay Flowers has had a big game. So you haven't dug super deep
- 43:49into this. But my initial lean would probably be to spread it out at
- 43:52captain. Yeah, and we just don't have a lot of plays, man,
- 43:57Like you go down the list, there's not many cheap plays at all.
- 44:01You know, two pretty consolidated teams in terms of what you get.
- 44:06So i'd probably you know, initially and would just be spread it out at
- 44:09the captain spot. Yeah. And I'd add another thought too, is I
- 44:13mean this is funny because we've been making fun I've been making fun of this.
- 44:15Not you you play these guys all the time and crush with them,
- 44:17but like Jalen Hurts seventeen k plus, Josh Allen seventeen k plus, to
- 44:22be honest, at least in those situations, you're like, well, look
- 44:24at the game, it's the it's the Bills versus the Chargers. Man,
- 44:29or it's like it's hurts versus who did they play the other day? It
- 44:31was oh, Seattle. It's like, you know what I mean, they
- 44:34should just crush. But I do think there's a chance. Like you said,
- 44:37I think more people spread it out, and for good reason. There's
- 44:38lots of good options here. Could it be Deebo yes, could it be
- 44:42Lamar? Could it be Brock? Could it be Ayuk? All this stuff.
- 44:44But McCaffrey is even more. He's pushing eighteen k here. And if
- 44:49you're building for the San Francisco Wins builds or Covers builds, if you will,
- 44:52I'm more than fine with that, because I think at least his ownership
- 44:54will get somewhat kept in check hoop here even at seventeen seven, because of
- 44:59price and because of all the other options people believe to be viable, where
- 45:02I actually don't think it gets out of hand, so kind of the opposite
- 45:06effect of where I am in most of those other games, where I know
- 45:07it's just getting super condensed. But if you start with him, you have
- 45:10six point five k. Well, go back to our optimizer projections from the
- 45:16other spot. You can get away just starting like this, and you still
- 45:20have almost seven K left and that's with Likely and Beckham, who the projections
- 45:22love, and then you can move it around from there. We've got kickers
- 45:25at pretty fair prices here, justin Tucker only fifty two hundred Moody only forty
- 45:30six hundred Moody here. I'm just gonna pull up his stuff. I don't
- 45:35see the game logs for him, Tucker. Maybe this is the set up
- 45:37here. I know our guy Boomer is actually working on these projections as we
- 45:40speak, so it kind of kicked me off. But let's see if I
- 45:44can do this. It looks like we just got them back, so let's
- 45:46see. Yeah, no game logs not showing it, so apologize for that,
- 45:50but just to show it. Obviously very affordable to still get to McCaffrey
- 45:54on the raven side sixteen to two. I always say never mahomes on main
- 45:59slates. I typically never play Lamar Captin on Showdown slates because again, it
- 46:05just depends on the game or whoever else is in it at the price and
- 46:07all that He did actually just sneak in there last time. But if you
- 46:10remember, Isaiah Likely was like one point behind him or something like that.
- 46:15It was very close to where he wasn't needed as well, So just to
- 46:19bring it up, I think I would take chances on some of the other
- 46:21guys like Flowers, likely Beckham. I would feel okay with those guys.
- 46:25I like the kittles Ayuk's debos there. Purty can at least spread it around.
- 46:30But man, it's one of those games where you'd have to imagine he
- 46:32throws for like three or four touchdowns. I personally don't see it against this
- 46:37defense. I think we could definitely see a spot where well, two things
- 46:40who and then I'll kick back to you. One is definitely see a spot
- 46:44where he fails. I was gonna say two is this game might be too
- 46:46high. The total might be too high at forty seven. I know,
- 46:51like what, Like I thought to your point, if Vegas is right and
- 46:53the numbers are right, and it's like, why isn't it three? Well,
- 46:55why is that? It's because they probably win. It could be a
- 46:59spot where they in like fourteen to seven. I know that sounds wild,
- 47:01but it's like, this is where you can see two teams that often put
- 47:05up points, that are playing great this season, join battle to go,
- 47:09join up to go to battle here in a game like this and instead of
- 47:12seeing fireworks with the offense that you've seen all season, you see fireworks with
- 47:16the defense, and they both show up in that manner, and you could
- 47:20definitely see something like that, right, you could see a seventeen to ten
- 47:23type of game. Something a lot. I mean you look at the forty
- 47:29nine ers success, I mean a lot of the recent success has been against
- 47:32some project. Just wanting to pull this up, it's been against some pretty
- 47:37bad teams. Like they beat up on the Cardinals. I guess they beat
- 47:39the hell out of the Eagles. Eagles a year. Actually, actually I
- 47:45take that back. It's a pretty good team. So yeah, but I
- 47:49wouldn't be surprised in terms of the kickers. I pulled it up. H
- 47:52Tuckers just twelve twelve, ten, eleven, seven, fourteen, eighty eight,
- 47:57nineteen. So like his floor in the last like two months sitting at
- 48:00seven, which is huge. Moody not as impressive, just because they score
- 48:05so many damn touchdowns he's had. Yeah, I don't like Moody all that
- 48:08much now that I look at this. I mean he's had field goal attempts
- 48:12one zero zero one two two one one. Like their offense is so effective
- 48:17it's hard to trust them. So if you're looking at kickers, definitely Tucker
- 48:21over over Moody in my eyes. But I lean on the game script too,
- 48:24That's what I'm saying. Like I'm a opposite of you. I don't
- 48:27give credit for any of these teams. I think Arizona sucks. I don't
- 48:29think Seattle's very good. Actually, Philly, you could say what you will
- 48:32about them on the season and probably going to be in the NFC Championship game,
- 48:37which might even be against the forty nine ers, But man, they
- 48:38got no defense all seedon. They literally just got beat by said team in
- 48:43Seattle. Tampa Bay no good, Jacksonville, no good. These guys are
- 48:45beating up on bad teams, bad defense. Is this the real deal that
- 48:50they're going to go up against now? And I would say that's where you
- 48:52could see even though they do like to go for it, as do the
- 48:54Ravens. You could see Moody and Tucker battle it out here a little bit
- 48:59as well last season, and we did well with that. It has not
- 49:00worked very often this season to get these double kicker lineups. Hoop, this
- 49:04could absolutely be a spot. Just to lean on that for a final thought.
- 49:07Anything else for you as far as Showdown is concerned or anything else you
- 49:12want to bring up, we will have you guys covered over at ship it
- 49:14Nation. We will have the Showdown, projections, ownership, and all of
- 49:19our cores up for Monday evening. There will be no player pool or slate

- 49:42The three game slate should be a lot of fun. I mean, prize
- 49:45pools are massive, you know. Play within your means though, because this
- 49:49this weekend could be expensive if you don't win something, So play within your
- 49:53means. That's always the most important thing. Don't go overboard because this is
- 49:59a weekend where there's a lot of temptation in terms of the contests and the
- 50:02offerings and the prize pools. So one piece of advice, play within your
- 50:07means. Looking forward though, to all the games. Looking forward to this
