Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: All systems go. Clear for liftoff. What is going on, everybody?
- 0:37Speaker 1: Welcome to week four of the Cash Game Countdown. I
- 0:40Speaker 1: am Title Tom. We'll be breaking down DraftKings and FanDuel
- 0:44Speaker 1: position-by-position player pool to establish. Again, this is only Friday.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Things do change, such as Justin Jefferson is questionable. We've
- 0:53Speaker 1: got Brees Hall and Donnie Mitchell we've got to monitor.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Probably not going to be in right now, but you
- 0:57Speaker 1: never know. Last week, didn't things say Flowers would play?
- 1:00Speaker 1: And he did. So this is just the initial look
- 1:03Speaker 1: to build the player pool. Then four core plays will
- 1:05Speaker 1: be up for cash on DraftKings and FanDuel. You can
- 1:09Speaker 1: find that NFL under the Slate Station, as well as
- 1:11Speaker 1: Hoops Player Pool, Slate Plan from our man Tambo, Ham,
- 1:16Speaker 1: and Matt Bellman, Showdown Content, The Stone 2.0, everything you need, projections,
- 1:21Speaker 1: ownership to be successful in the NFL streets. We would
- 1:24Speaker 1: love to have you at the Nation. You can see
- 1:26Speaker 1: so many sports going on right now. College football, NBA soon,
- 1:29Speaker 1: PGA still going, MLB playoffs, MMA, NASCAR, and NHL is back.
- 1:34Speaker 1: So we would love to have you. If you're just
- 1:36Speaker 1: playing NFL, I think this is the best deal. $ 349,
- 1:39Speaker 1: Saberson in the Discord. Also gets you access to $ 45, 000
- 1:42Speaker 1: in cash and prizes to potentially qualify for ship at games.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Bottom left, Join the Nation, though. We have multiple other deals.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Five days for $ 19 if you have not tried us.
- 1:51Speaker 1: I think it's a great time to do so. Again,
- 1:53Speaker 1: an action-packed weekend amongst a lot of different sports. You
- 1:56Speaker 1: also get Discord and Saberson there. You can see Starter
- 2:00Speaker 1: and Ultimate as well. Everything you get in it. including
- 2:03Speaker 1: DFS mastermind. The price only gets better when you go
- 2:07Speaker 1: from weekly to monthly, monthly to annual, et cetera. And
- 2:10Speaker 1: you can also find single sport NFL packages over here
- 2:14Speaker 1: as well. So I'd love, we'd love to have you
- 2:16Speaker 1: at the nation. Definitely do join the discord if you
- 2:19Speaker 1: do join. Um, and yeah, let's get right into it.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Week four cash games. I do think it is pretty difficult,
- 2:25Speaker 1: probably the most wide open it's been in the first
- 2:28Speaker 1: three weeks, which I love to see it. Um, But yeah,
- 2:31Speaker 1: we'll go with my initial thoughts right now. Again, I
- 2:33Speaker 1: don't think too many locks. I think a lot of
- 2:35Speaker 1: open positions and what you do at a quarterback or
- 2:38Speaker 1: a tight end or something kind of leads you to
- 2:40Speaker 1: different roster construction, who you want to spend up on.
- 2:43Speaker 1: But let's get right into the quarterback position. Again, I
- 2:46Speaker 1: think it's open, just sorting by ownership to start. You
- 2:49Speaker 1: can see it is very spread out. Josh Allen comes
- 2:52Speaker 1: in at the highest zone. He is in play, but
- 2:54Speaker 1: I think he's more in play on FanDuel. $ 7, 700 is
- 2:56Speaker 1: a big boy price tag. I think I'm... The highest
- 2:59Speaker 1: right now I'd go to is probably Trevor Lawrence at 5,900
- 3:03Speaker 1: in the highest total of the week. But if you
- 3:05Speaker 1: want me to save a little, C.J. Strouts in a
- 3:07Speaker 1: good matchup against Dallas. Kyler Murray, only 5,300 against a
- 3:11Speaker 1: dreadful Miami team with rushing upside. Jacoby Bursette against a
- 3:15Speaker 1: Giants team that's not very good. Drop back close to
- 3:18Speaker 1: 50 times. I think all of them. Sam Darnold, you
- 3:21Speaker 1: can add in as well, coming off a massive week
- 3:23Speaker 1: three off of an injury implied for almost 26 points.
- 3:27Speaker 1: I don't think I'm going to be able to get
- 3:28Speaker 1: up all the way to Josh Allen this weekend, so
- 3:30Speaker 1: I think I'm living in that 5K range. Trevor Lawrence, Kyler, C.J. Stroud,
- 3:36Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, Jacoby Bursette. Don't think we need a punt
- 3:38Speaker 1: all the way down to Jalen Daniels at 4,400. To
- 3:42Speaker 1: the running back room, it's definitely solid, and I think
- 3:46Speaker 1: the pool is a little more condensed. We do not have,
- 3:49Speaker 1: just sorting by salary, we do not have Jameer Gibbs
- 3:52Speaker 1: on the slate. We do not have B. John Robinson,
- 3:55Speaker 1: which leads Derrick Henry. Kenneth Walker and C-Mac is the
- 3:58Speaker 1: three highest price. Just looking at it right here, ownership-wise,
- 4:03Speaker 1: McCaffrey the highest owned, and I do think he's probably
- 4:06Speaker 1: the way to go. Kenneth Walker for 500 more. I
- 4:08Speaker 1: guess I wouldn't hate you for doing it. He has
- 4:11Speaker 1: been so good, and the role has been phenomenal this year.
- 4:13Speaker 1: But 500 left for McCaffrey. He's lost some work to
- 4:17Speaker 1: black this year, which isn't great, but still a phenomenal
- 4:21Speaker 1: price tag. So many ways to get there in a
- 4:22Speaker 1: full point PPR site. After that, we have some mispriced guys,
- 4:27Speaker 1: in my opinion. Aaron Jones, without Jordan Mason still. Chase
- 4:31Speaker 1: Brown in the best game environment. Jeremiah Love, who's taken
- 4:34Speaker 1: over from Algier really strongly, 5,800. Cam Scadabo, 6,100. Braylon Allen,
- 4:41Speaker 1: if there is no Brees, like I'm expecting, 5,200. So
- 4:46Speaker 1: I think it's more than likely, and you don't even
- 4:48Speaker 1: need a Jam McCaffrey. If you wanted a Josh Allen,
- 4:51Speaker 1: you probably would have to sacrifice McCaffrey, but More than likely,
- 4:55Speaker 1: probably playing McCaffrey right now. And then picking two others
- 4:58Speaker 1: of Braylon Allen, Love, Chase Brown, Jones. But I'm not
- 5:01Speaker 1: 100% sure it is, or Skadaboo, like I said. I'm
- 5:05Speaker 1: not 100% sure C-Mac is a lock. Like when we
- 5:08Speaker 1: get to tight end, I do think spending up is
- 5:10Speaker 1: viable this week. So very good options, but I do
- 5:13Speaker 1: think the pool is a little more condensed. And I
- 5:15Speaker 1: do think as of now, I will be playing three
- 5:17Speaker 1: running backs on DraftKings because that low 6K, 5K range
- 5:21Speaker 1: is filled with mispriced players. All right, the receiver position,
- 5:25Speaker 1: not much changes from what we've talked about in the past.
- 5:28Speaker 1: I think it's pretty wide open. No Devonta Smith in
- 5:33Speaker 1: week four, though, leads Dontavian Wicks, cover boy of this show,
- 5:36Speaker 1: at only 4,300. Wicks has been very good to start
- 5:39Speaker 1: the year so far and now slides right into a
- 5:42Speaker 1: wide receiver one role at 4,300. I think he is
- 5:45Speaker 1: very strong. I don't know if I want to use
- 5:48Speaker 1: the word lock right now, but more than likely he
- 5:50Speaker 1: will be a core play for me. and on the
- 5:52Speaker 1: cash report. Another one that looks really strong, Parker Washington, 6,500.
- 5:56Speaker 1: I'm just going to keep playing him until he's in
- 5:59Speaker 1: that 7,500 range in the best game environment. Garrett Wilson, again,
- 6:02Speaker 1: possibly no Brees or Donnie Mitchell. We saw what Garrett
- 6:05Speaker 1: did last week. 6,800 is still way too cheap for him. Chase,
- 6:09Speaker 1: if you want to spend up for him, I'm fine with.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Don't think it is a must by any means, but again,
- 6:13Speaker 1: the highest total on the slate. Golden 5,400, I like.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Michael Wilson, a complete monster, still too cheap at 5,500.
- 6:19Speaker 1: I'm Have to monitor Justin Jefferson news with his ankle injury.
- 6:24Speaker 1: If he misses, Jordan Addison becomes even better. 5,300 would
- 6:27Speaker 1: be great. Zay Flowers, 6,900. I'm still saying it's too cheap.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Anyone that's watched Baltimore so far this year, anytime Zay's
- 6:34Speaker 1: on the field, you know where Lamar is going with
- 6:36Speaker 1: the ball and he's always open. A couple other prices
- 6:39Speaker 1: that stand out. George Pickens, 63. T. Higgins, 6,100. Two
- 6:44Speaker 1: guys that I think are also too cheap. Wide receiver pool,
- 6:48Speaker 1: kind of wide like usual, but Wicks, I don't think
- 6:51Speaker 1: we need Hollins with the Wicks salary. Parker Washington, Wilson, Chase, Golden,
- 6:57Speaker 1: Michael Wilson, Addison, Zay, Pickens, T. Right now that is
- 7:02Speaker 1: kind of my player pool for wide receiver. Excuse me,
- 7:06Speaker 1: tight end position. Yeah, I mentioned tight end is tough.
- 7:08Speaker 1: So I think let's just sort by ownership. You have
- 7:11Speaker 1: different pricing gaps or tiers if you want to go.
- 7:13Speaker 1: If you want to spend up, which I do think
- 7:15Speaker 1: is viable this week, you have Brock Bowers and Trey McBride.
- 7:18Speaker 1: What an opening. for Brock Bowers in his season debut.
- 7:22Speaker 1: I do think both of them are in play. If
- 7:24Speaker 1: you want to save money from there, I think it's
- 7:26Speaker 1: George Kittle in the mid-range at 5,100. Then if you
- 7:29Speaker 1: want to completely punt, I guess I would say another one.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Sadiq at 4K, phenomenal game last week. Otherwise, it's Hawkinson,
- 7:37Speaker 1: Brett and Strange. I don't know, Barner seems a little thin.
- 7:40Speaker 1: But I think a tight end is very difficult and
- 7:42Speaker 1: kind of like what I'm saying. If you're playing Bowers
- 7:44Speaker 1: or McBride, maybe you can't play McCaffrey and have to
- 7:47Speaker 1: spend down If you're playing TJ Hawkinson, you probably can
- 7:50Speaker 1: easily play McCaffrey or Jamar Chase. So different tiers in
- 7:55Speaker 1: terms of pricing for what to do at tight end.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Big decision this week. Again, I already think you're playing
- 7:59Speaker 1: three running backs. For the defense, sorting by value, the
- 8:03Speaker 1: Vikings showing the highest ownership. But man, they're 4K, like
- 8:07Speaker 1: paying all the way up for defense. Very volatile positions.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Not something I'm always looking to do. So looking at
- 8:13Speaker 1: some value, not that. The Rams against Philly who look terrible.
- 8:16Speaker 1: No Devonta Smith now. That is definitely pretty intriguing. The
- 8:20Speaker 1: Cardinals against Jameis, definitely intriguing at 2,500. Yeah, to be honest,
- 8:26Speaker 1: it's probably right now one of those two. Anyone cheaper?
- 8:29Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, if I need to play one of
- 8:32Speaker 1: these teams because it makes my whole roster look good,
- 8:36Speaker 1: then fine. But ideally Rams or Cardinals more than likely
- 8:39Speaker 1: for defense. Let's head on over to FanDuel. Again, appreciate
- 8:43Speaker 1: everyone hanging out. Like button helps us out a ton.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Subscribe button as well. Time is valuable. There's no reason
- 8:49Speaker 1: to waste your time. Hope people are enjoying these quick shows.
- 8:53Speaker 1: All right, quarterback on FanDuel. Again, I mentioned previously, I
- 8:56Speaker 1: think it's a lot more viable to spend up on FanDuel,
- 8:59Speaker 1: like we did last week for Josh Allen, even though
- 9:02Speaker 1: he had a floor game. But he is by far
- 9:04Speaker 1: the most upside every single slate. Again, what you're doing
- 9:07Speaker 1: at quarterback is going to determine some other spots, though. Allen, 9,100.
- 9:12Speaker 1: After that, I think it is Burrow, 80-200, or Trevor
- 9:15Speaker 1: Lawrence at 7,900 in the best game environments. Otherwise, you're
- 9:19Speaker 1: just going to save Kyler, 72, CJ Stroud, 7K, both
- 9:24Speaker 1: in good matchups. I think all five are viable. And again,
- 9:26Speaker 1: what you're doing at quarterback will lead to what you're
- 9:30Speaker 1: doing at some other positions, and that includes the running
- 9:33Speaker 1: back position. Again, FanDuel, you almost always are playing three
- 9:36Speaker 1: running backs, I think. The two spend-ups, my favorites, McCaffrey
- 9:40Speaker 1: and Kenneth Walker. More than likely, you're not able to
- 9:42Speaker 1: play both. Possible if you're playing the Kyler or the
- 9:45Speaker 1: punt quarterbacks, but McCaffrey, Kenneth Walker look really strong, but
- 9:49Speaker 1: so does some of his value. Cam Scadabo, 7-1. Jeremiah Love, 6-6.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, 6-4. Braylon Allen, 5-7. I think that is
- 9:57Speaker 1: where the running back pool ends. Chase Bronson, feels a
- 10:00Speaker 1: little i mean he's in play for sure but 7600
- 10:03Speaker 1: he feels like a better bargain on draft kings and
- 10:05Speaker 1: fits the scoring better so very similar running back pool
- 10:09Speaker 1: for draft kings and fan duel and it's uh three
- 10:12Speaker 1: running backs right now for me on both sites receivers
- 10:16Speaker 1: Two guys, the highest two values, Zay Flowers, 7,300. Parker Washington, 7,100
- 10:21Speaker 1: point per dollar. I mean, sign me up. Again, I
- 10:23Speaker 1: already talked so good or so highly about Zay and Parker.
- 10:27Speaker 1: These prices are just too cheap on both sites. I
- 10:29Speaker 1: would love to have both of them in my cash
- 10:32Speaker 1: games on FanDuel. Garrett Wilson, also a good price at 7,600. Man,
- 10:36Speaker 1: if Nico does play... 7.4K for Nico Collins in a
- 10:40Speaker 1: good matchup against Dallas. I would want to hear some
- 10:43Speaker 1: good reports that he's not limited in any capacity or anything,
- 10:46Speaker 1: but if that's the case, he is very much in
- 10:48Speaker 1: play and would make that 7K decisions tough with Zay, Parker, Nico,
- 10:53Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson. Don't see myself with how good those options are.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Playing JSN or Jamar Chase in cash if I need savings.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Gold in Michael Wilson, still too cheap. Tee Higgins, 6,900,
- 11:04Speaker 1: too cheap. If Justin Jefferson's out, Jordan Addison, 6,500, a
- 11:08Speaker 1: great play. Waddle still looks cheap down here, even though
- 11:11Speaker 1: I'm not sure. This is the week I'll go there.
- 11:14Speaker 1: And then Notavian Wicks, 5,900. No, Devonta Smith is also
- 11:18Speaker 1: in play as a punt wide receiver. Let's get to
- 11:21Speaker 1: tight end. Again, I mentioned that tight end's tough. What
- 11:24Speaker 1: you do at tight end is going to bleed over
- 11:26Speaker 1: to other positions. Brock Bauer is cheaper on FanDuel than
- 11:29Speaker 1: Trey McBride, whereas it's opposite on DraftKings. You can always
- 11:33Speaker 1: play the hedge game if you do want to spend
- 11:35Speaker 1: up at both in both sites at tight end, play
- 11:38Speaker 1: Brock on FanDuel, McBride on DraftKings. Don't mind that one bit. Man,
- 11:43Speaker 1: it's not the best matchup against KC, but Brock looks
- 11:45Speaker 1: so good, and Kirk Cousins is getting him the ball.
- 11:48Speaker 1: If you can't fit the two spends, though, I think
- 11:50Speaker 1: it's Dalton Kincaid, 6'1. Yeah, I was going to say
- 11:54Speaker 1: maybe Kittle. I think he's just priced too closely to Brock,
- 11:57Speaker 1: but I'm going to find that 500. So I think
- 11:59Speaker 1: it's probably Kincaid, 6'1, Kelsey, 5'5, or it's a likelier
- 12:04Speaker 1: Andrews I guess Hawkinson, even though I don't love it
- 12:07Speaker 1: down here. But, yeah, you have different tiers. Do you
- 12:10Speaker 1: want to spend up? Do you want to go mid-tier?
- 12:11Speaker 1: Do you want to go all the way down? That's
- 12:13Speaker 1: going to be the big decisions this week. And, again,
- 12:15Speaker 1: it's Friday. I have absolutely no clue what I will
- 12:18Speaker 1: be doing. Talking defense, again, the Vikings, but they're 5K.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Spending all the way up is not something I usually do.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Tampa Bay grading out well is 200 off the min
- 12:28Speaker 1: price against the Packers, who have looked dreadful. I don't
- 12:31Speaker 1: hate it one bit. Again, this offensive line is terrible
- 12:34Speaker 1: for the Pack. 300 more, you get the Bears at
- 12:36Speaker 1: home against the Jets. That looks pretty appealing. As well,
- 12:40Speaker 1: Rams more expensive on FanDuel than DraftKings. So probably, to
- 12:43Speaker 1: be honest, looking like Chicago or Tampa Bay when it
- 12:47Speaker 1: comes to defense for me because there's enough spends at
- 12:50Speaker 1: other positions that I'd rather prioritize. That's all I got. Again,
- 12:55Speaker 1: 12 games on FanDuel, 12 on DraftKings. We do have
- 12:58Speaker 1: the early game. Germany, I believe it is this week.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Could be mistaken where it's at, but that's 9.30 a.m. Eastern.
- 13:04Speaker 1: Bi-weeks are going to start hitting, so these 12 gamers
- 13:06Speaker 1: are going to start to shrink. But I'm really excited
- 13:08Speaker 1: for this week. Week four, I think it is wide
- 13:11Speaker 1: open on both sites. Again, all of my core plays
- 13:14Speaker 1: will be up on the Slate Station over at Shippenation.com
- 13:18Speaker 1: on DraftKings, on FanDuel, and I will get those up
- 13:21Speaker 1: tomorrow for everybody. That's going to do it. Everybody, hope
- 13:25Speaker 1: you have a great weekend. Hope you have a little
- 13:27Speaker 1: extra cheese in the pocket when it's all said and done.
- 13:29Speaker 1: Be safe. Enjoy your weekend. I am Titletown. Good luck. Peace.
