- 0:50like button on the way in. Subscribe to the channel here on the Male
- 0:53Media Network. We've been here all season. We'll be back for the rest
- 0:56of the playoff slates as well. Sunday's nine forty five am Eastern. The
- 0:59same crew. You know what expect. Got Hoops to here with me.
- 1:02Got title and I'm a follower today, not a leader. Title. Came
- 1:04in nice gear on I said, Oh, I got to go put mine
- 1:07on too. I missed my squad. So Hoops rocking a dak jersey on
- 1:11the same day. He's going to the Lions game tonight to watch his team,
- 1:15which, if you guys remember and have watched all season, I told
- 1:17who this is where his team would exit, So we'll see how it goes
- 1:21tonight. He told me they were super Bowl bound. We will see,
- 1:23but I'll let Hoops to come in. On that note, Hoop what's going
- 1:26on? Man, It's gonna be a fun Sunday here. I was a
- 1:27little torn with the wardrobe this morning. I mean the dak jersey. The
- 1:32dark situation has treated us very very well all season long, and first round
- 1:36of the playoffs here we fall into the same situation that we've printed on all
- 1:41season long. So that's interesting. And I got the jersey when not my
- 1:44Lions home playoff game first time in like thirty years, heading down to the
- 1:48game later, super excited about that. So keep a close eye on hoopscreen
- 1:52because you might see some things shifting as the as the show goes on.
- 1:56But this is a good slate. I'm glad that they kept that the skill
- 2:00and bills on the slates. We have three games. It makes a huge
- 2:02difference in terms of some of these contests and what you do and even how
- 2:07you go about building your teams. It is it's wild to think, but
- 2:09just going from two to three is a massive difference. It kind of touched
- 2:13on a little bit yesterday when we did the two game show, but the
- 2:16third game adds a big dynamic. It's a day later, gives people the
- 2:20opportunity to make some potential swaps I think that Bill Steelers game goes, you
- 2:25know, pretty much unowned. But I mean there's no pieces in that game
- 2:29that'll have substantial ownership. Maybe one that we'll talk about when we get to
- 2:34that position, but yeah, it's a fun one looking forward to it.
- 2:37I mean, you got the big totals. We got a fifty one total
- 2:39in Dallas, a fifty three total in Detroit, and then a small one
- 2:44in Buffalo sitting at like thirty eight, which means ownership again, like I
- 2:46said, it's going to be low there. So looking forward to the slate,
- 2:50looking forward to breaking this down and should be the last like three games
- 2:53slate of the season. Really, everything else is going to be two from
- 2:55here on out. Two or one. Yeah, that's though. I was
- 2:58glad they kept it. We get one more, one more three gamer like
- 3:00this shut out to super who first in today, you're gonna give shout up
- 3:04to the first in always super Who have got in here early. So I
- 3:07appreciate you everybody else that's joining us, and you know it's gonna be a
- 3:09good day right here. Where's it at? Our guys slap right in here,
- 3:14always picking on him, but man, the guy's here today. He
- 3:15won't be asking any questions in the discord because he's here to get the info
- 3:19directly from us. So we appreciate you, slap. We appreciate everybody else
- 3:22out there with us title. Bring you in, you got you know,
- 3:24you said you're happy to be there. Got these Green Bay Packers in the
- 3:28mix, but might be going overlook today, Jordan Love has been on fire,
- 3:30especially from a DFS perspective. We'll get to that when we go to
- 3:34quarterback. But talk to me, man, what's going on on this Sunday?
- 3:36How you doing? Yeah? Doing great? It's it's a pleasant surprise
- 3:38if you asked eight weeks ago, like when you guys are joking Lions,
- 3:42Ravens and I think my Packers would be in this situation, hey Hoop said
- 3:46when we got on a little talking pre show, He's like, do you
- 3:49think your Packers have a chance? My response, anytime Big MIC's on the
- 3:52other side, anybody's got a chance. So I'm very excited. I think
- 3:55they do have a chance. As far as I mean, it could definitely
- 4:00like yesterday with the Browns game, but I do think the Packers can hang
- 4:02in, score some points and we'll get there. In terms of DFS,
- 4:05But yeah, I think it's very concentrated. I like what the sites did.
- 4:10Like Hoop mentioned, bringing the Bill Steelers game still on the main slate,
- 4:14FANDU actually has all four games Philly and Tampa on THEIRS as well,
- 4:17which is interesting. But these first two games today fifty total, fifty and
- 4:23a half fifty two, like Hoops, had way more appealing than these other
- 4:26two games with them being in a dome. So even though the Bills are
- 4:29on that main draft Kings slate, Philly Tampa's also on FanDuel slate, you're
- 4:32gonna see very heavily concentrated ownership on these first two games. But great slate,
- 4:38very excited for playoff football. Always good time. Yeah, we're gonna
- 4:41break it through. We're gonna go to our projections again, just like Hoop
- 4:43and I did yesterday. I think it's the best way to break this down.
- 4:46We got some really good ideas up on the screen. I saw a
- 4:48couple of members have some big days. One I know who you had a
- 4:50close call in the MILLI maker coming like twenty fourth or nineteenth, Yeah,
- 4:54coming there. Somebody else came. I believe it was fifth or ninth.
- 4:57I think it might have been ninth for five thousand, but it was a
- 5:00big day for some of the members. And just real quick before I go
- 5:01to you, Hoop, here the note the title just made our slate plan
- 5:04from our guy Hamwich, who helped me win over two hundred thousand this season
- 5:09just from this FanDuel slate plan is built for the actual main FanDuel slate,
- 5:13which is four games. So if you're looking to get it on the action,
- 5:15go over to ship at nation dot com. You can use that promo
- 5:18code Mayo to get in get yourself Tember sent off. You guys are looking
- 5:21to get in right now is the time Code Mayo gets you Timber sent off
- 5:25any package if you play PGA DFS or plan on it with football winding down,
- 5:29We're gonna be here for you all throughout the playoffs like we said,
- 5:31but these prices go up on Wednesday, So these prices will go up.
- 5:35If you want to lock in the lowest price possible now you can use code
- 5:39Mayo to get timbercent off. There, Hoop, you had a run in
- 5:42the Millionmaker last night. Talk about that. I'll pull up the solver here.
- 5:46Yeah, I had a team late in that game. It got up
- 5:48to nineteenth place, had three guys go in, had Pachuco, had Rice,
- 5:55who you needed essentially yesterday, and then Kelsey, so snitall a little
- 5:59push for on Pachecko or Kelsey got that touchdown obviously late on Pachecko that that
- 6:05put me up into the like is nineteen or eighteen. Just needed a little
- 6:09bit more from Pachecko. But I had all the right guys from that first
- 6:14game, and then it was kind of a chief's stack in the second game.
- 6:18And you know, the one thing that we talked about on the show
- 6:21yesterday on that two game slate is just taking stands against things, and that
- 6:26was more what the success was about. Yesterday. The spot for Miami was
- 6:29brutal. We talked about the only guy that we really thought that could get
- 6:33there on the Miami side was Tyreek, and that was the case. He's
- 6:36the only one that kind of did anything. The rest of the team was
- 6:40the disaster. I ended up fading Tua, which you know I touched on
- 6:43a little bit on the show, but in the in the content it was
- 6:46reflected in that and then did not have any Wattle did not and I did
- 6:48have Smyth. So it was like smythe a little bit. I think I
- 6:51had ten percent of Smythe and then I had like thirty right around the field
- 6:55on Tyreek, and then I faded everything else. So gave me many more
- 6:59routes to the because I just xed out a lot of players, whereas the
- 7:01field, even top end players like wan't x guys out, though they'll keep
- 7:05a little bit in their pool. That was the reason I had the success
- 7:09yesterday. It was just taking stands against that spot of the Miami spot,
- 7:13which we felt, we agreed that was a really bad spot for Miami,
- 7:16and it ended up being true. They only scored seven points and could do
- 7:19absolutely nothing when they had the football. Yeah, you talked without that heavy,
- 7:23the weather just being in the favor of the Kansas City side, and
- 7:25most certainly one just absolutely owned them crushed throughout the day. May I'll just
- 7:30threw it up just a remind you guys, this is rake free. You
- 7:31can go play. It's a three max. It's fifteen dollars entry. You
- 7:34can throw one, you could throw two, you can throw three, whatever
- 7:36you want. But the link is in the chat. Should definitely go join
- 7:40that anytime there's a no rate contest out there. You want to fill it
- 7:43out, we'll throw it in the discord right after the show as well if
- 7:46there's still spots available. So go get in there now. If you can
- 7:48title any extra thoughts from yesterday before we get into this quarterback position, and
- 7:53then you saw yesterday to bring across the next week. No really, I
- 7:57mean, man, Texas just really impressed, abolutely jumped on Cleveland. That
- 8:01game was over pretty quickly. And then the second game, Yeah, weather
- 8:05played a factor, I guess, but they still slung the ball. I
- 8:07saw something on Twitter which is really interesting. It was just I don't know
- 8:11if you guys saw a sneak peek of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick talking.
- 8:13I think it was like two thousand and nine, a really cold game,
- 8:16kind of similar to that, and like, at least my mind and a
- 8:20lot of people's mind was like, all, like, passing is gonna be
- 8:22really tough, et cetera. Tom was like, this is the this is
- 8:26the dream for a quarterback. Whether Belichick was saying like it's hard to run
- 8:30block like, offensive line can't get off the ball. Defense, the lineman
- 8:33or the line or the deep pass rushers can't get off the ball and pass
- 8:37rush you have all day back there. My mind never worked like that,
- 8:41and it's very interesting listening to those people like that. Like the rain stuff,
- 8:43we always talk about it. A lot of people always say, oh,
- 8:46it favors the defense. You can't do anything where the offense knows where
- 8:50they're running in the routes and stuff like that. I didn't really think of
- 8:54that in like negative five degree weather until I saw that video and kind of
- 8:56played out. I mean, both teams were slaying it kind of like normal.
- 9:00Not that they were efficient by any means, but little stuff like that.
- 9:03I thought that was an interesting tidbit from Belichick and Brady too. The
- 9:05best and the one thing I noticed for sure, like you could tell those
- 9:09Miami defenders they didn't want to go in there for those big hits, Like
- 9:13they laid off a ton because it hurts like that cold weather. Like,
- 9:16man, it hurts when when you go in there and you you know,
- 9:20lay out and try to tackle someone. It was onlike the Mahomes run where
- 9:22he almost scored, he got down to like the three, Like the defenders
- 9:26were like just laying off. They did not want to go in for like
- 9:28the big hits. And a lot of players. Edwards Hilaire had a couple
- 9:31of runs where he just kept pushing the pile like no one wanted to make
- 9:33the big kept going. They couldn't pull him down. I saw that too.
- 9:37We did call I mean, Mahomes ran for a bunch more, he
- 9:39ran for over forty. We talked about that being a thing talked about.
- 9:43Man, it looks like Kelsey could have like twelve catches or something. It
- 9:45felt like I don't even know how many targets he ended up with, but
- 9:46it felt like he dropped more than he caught, and he still caught quite
- 9:50a few balls for over seventy. So it was just that chip chop over
- 9:54the middle type thing is what you saw kind of all day. That's just
- 9:56something to take. No great tidbit over there that you brought in, obviously
- 9:58from Belichick, one of the best retiring or while I guess not retiring.
- 10:01We moving on from New England this week, and then obviously Brady who's retired
- 10:05as well. So you just look at it from that perspective. Anybody talking
- 10:07like that, you're always gonna listen, let's move on, let's talk about
- 10:11this slate, Let's get into it. Hoop we've got quarterback, and I'm
- 10:13starting with you because you're rocking the jersey. It's been a business decision for
- 10:16you all season, and I think a good one. Talk to me about
- 10:20Dak Prescott and then the rest of these quarterbacks and how it shapes up for
- 10:22the entire slate. You mentioned a little off the top about how Josh Allen
- 10:26might just go completely overlooked, and that's kind of interesting, but I think
- 10:30you'll want to talk about Dak and your guy Goff a little bit more.
- 10:33Yeah, I mean it's going to be a business decision again for me today.
- 10:37Obviously we're in the jersey. That means you know, he'll be in
- 10:39a lot of my lineups today, and it just makes sense. This is
- 10:43a situation that we've capitalized on all season long, and there's just so many
- 10:46reasons why, you know, I like that today he's going to be And
- 10:50I guess the one thing is it's a little bit different than the full slates
- 10:52where you've capitalized or the showdown. So he is going to be pretty popular,
- 10:56to be the most popular quarterback on the slate, but they're we do
- 11:00have three games, so it will get spread out a little bit more easy
- 11:03to get overweight. But it's just to me the best spot on the slate
- 11:07by a pretty wide margin. They've been this offense has been much more productive
- 11:11at home. They're at home in the Dome. They have a fifty one
- 11:16total, their team total sitting at twenty nine, and they're favored by seven.
- 11:20And again it's gonna be the same situation as we've see in all season.
- 11:24It's going to be Tony Pollard that gets a big, big chunk of
- 11:28ownership. Today. The price is sixty one hundred. I like Pollard as
- 11:31well. We'll get to that when we talk running backs. But the spot
- 11:33for Dak is phenomenal at home here a lot of people looking to go to
- 11:37Pollard. If they go to Pollard, maybe they don't go to Dak.
- 11:39You compare Dack up with Ceedee Lamb. The connection has been, I mean
- 11:43phenomenal, probably the best in the league. You know, quarterback wide receiver
- 11:46combo this season, good connection with Brandon Cooks. He continues to get Gallup
- 11:52decent looks and he does nothing with it. And then he has the tight
- 11:56end in Ferguson. So a lot of different ways to go. I want
- 11:58to be very heavy on DAK today, and I have to make the change
- 12:03now because we've got the got the Lions game and I have to support the
- 12:05Lions. So the jersey is coming off now that the DAK conversation is over.
- 12:09Switching after the man, he just pulls them right off. Man,
- 12:16it's still going to hang in the office for the day. Don't worry,
- 12:18It's not going anywhere. But we have to switch over to support the Lions
- 12:20today. In terms of other quarterbacks on the slate, Josh Allen, I
- 12:26think again, interesting play here because people are going to kind of be off
- 12:31that last game that we talked about. The ownership is very low. The
- 12:33fact that they switched from today to tomorrow. The total came up, I
- 12:37believe like four or five points. I think it came back down a little
- 12:41bit more, but the Bills are still projected to score twenty four points.
- 12:43If no one wants to play Josh Allen, I'll make sure I get some
- 12:48Josh Allen. Just too many different ways to get there. I mean he
- 12:50can get there on the ground, obviously, you can get there throwing,
- 12:54you know the risk. I think that people see it and people really have
- 12:56that game in their head against the Cowboys where they just ran every single play
- 13:01to James Cook in the second half, and ever since then, people are
- 13:03kind of afraid to play Josh Allen on a three game slate. I'm in
- 13:07on Josh Allen. I mean, there's an easy path for him to be
- 13:09the highest scoring quarterback on the slate, a couple rushing touchdowns, passing stuff
- 13:15on Diggs is cheap. Who will talk about when we get there is a
- 13:18cheap wide receiver and Shakir that I think is a solid option. So no
- 13:22one wants to play Josh Allen. I'm in on it for sure. We
- 13:26have the Lions game golf stafford highest total on the slate, and both guys
- 13:31have a lot of pass catchers that they can kind of throw the ball to
- 13:35a mon Ros Saint Bron Jamison Williams. We'll talk about him at wide receiver.
- 13:39It looks like Laporta is gonna play, which is a boost to golf.
- 13:41And with Laporta in I don't necessarily think he's one hundred percent, but
- 13:46even if he's like eighty or ninety, that's definitely a boost for Jared Goff.
- 13:50I mean, you go from throwing the ball to Laporta instead of like
- 13:54brock Right, Like there's a massive drop off if it's brock Right not Laporta.
- 14:00The quarterbacks in Detroit are certainly in the conversation. Looks like pretty similar
- 14:05ownership between the two. Yeah, I like both. And then you know,
- 14:09Mason Rudolph should probably you'll probably get no ownership. I mean, I'm
- 14:13not not going there at all. I guess its gonna get maybe like a
- 14:16little bit, maybe a couple percentage points or something because people play every tend
- 14:20to play every quarterback, but that will just be a cross off. And
- 14:24then Jordan love Kiosk, you guys take on him because he's the one guy
- 14:28that I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with. And he also could get
- 14:31a nice little bose because it sounds like Christian Watson Watson has a chance to
- 14:35play today, which we'll get that news because that is the first game on
- 14:39the slate. So it's Dak Dak one for sure for me. And then
- 14:43my favorite like leverage quarterback for sure is going to be Josh Allen up there
- 14:46at the top. And we have enough cheap options to make it work with
- 14:48those expensive quarterbacks today, So that's kind of where I'm at quarterback position.
- 14:54But I really want to hear you guys have to say about Jordan Love because
- 14:56I'm kind of undecided with him at this point. Yeah, I let title
- 15:00talk about Jordan Love. But before we do that, just Dak Prescott Lamb
- 15:03hoop. If you look at it on the screen here right away, you're
- 15:05down to four point ak. So like, what type of options are you
- 15:09comfortable moving? And you talked about like cooks for example, but the mini
- 15:13plug him in, you're still sitting at four point ak. You got to
- 15:15get two running backs, wide receiver tight. I mean you're gonna have to
- 15:18really bost this thing up with some cheap value plays. I'm sure we'll talk
- 15:20about them later, but what are the common pairings you're seeing with your Dak
- 15:24Prescott lineux right now? Yes, I mean if you do the Dak Lamb
- 15:28stuff, you're immediately you're immediately down. Like you said, you're searching for
- 15:31value right out of the gate, and I think the best spot to go,
- 15:35well, there's two spots. Obviously, you can go to some of
- 15:37these wide receivers, and then there's cheap tight ends on the slate as well.
- 15:41So in terms of the cheap wide receivers that we have. If you
- 15:43want a double stack, I'd be fine going to a guy like Gallup at
- 15:46thirty one hundred. If you want to go dak CD, you can play
- 15:50Gallop at thirty one. Again, it has not been great for Gallop,
- 15:52but I mean he's getting high leverage. Looks like they're getting them red zone
- 15:56targets. Like. It hasn't worked out for him this season, there's no
- 15:58doubt about it. But on a three game slate, just one play,
- 16:02that's all you need. You have Shakir, I think, is a solid
- 16:06cheap option at wide receiver if you want to get some value. We have
- 16:10Jamison Williams, who at thirty five hundred. I'm not saying like they saved
- 16:15him for the playoffs, but he's going to be out there way more today
- 16:18than he probably has at any point in the season. I mean, Jamison
- 16:22Williams is going to be a good wide receiver in this league. And then
- 16:25obviously we have tight ends that we can play for cheap. In that same
- 16:27game of Tucker Craft at thirty three hundred, HIGB thirty four hundred, so
- 16:32you can always do that. You can play double tight end, double tight
- 16:33end super viable on these three games slates, and a lot of people always
- 16:37ask that question, can you play double ted end? You certainly can.
- 16:40But to answer your question, you have the dak CD stuff. You're immediately
- 16:44searching for value on the slate, and I guess all these running backs are
- 16:47relatively cheap too. I mean you can get multiple running backs six mid six
- 16:51k below. Yeah, we'll go there in a second. I'll a title
- 16:52takeover and title. That's why I flipped it on the screen. Like the
- 16:55opposite side of this game. You can get some excitement around love and I
- 16:59know some people struggle. They have struggled, I will say all season for
- 17:03some reason to get excited about this guy. But I've been screaming it for
- 17:04weeks, like if you went back, it was back here when I remember
- 17:07being on shows with Mayo talking about twenty four, twenty seven, twenty three,
- 17:11nineteen, Like what don't you like about this guy? As he was
- 17:15always priced around six thousand. If you want to get Lamb in this way,
- 17:18I think it's kind of interesting. Now we will get the news on
- 17:22Watson, right, that'd be awesome. They get him back. That's another
- 17:23weapon for them and he's cheap as well. But even as it stands right
- 17:26now, if you had something like Love read Tucker Kraft flip the build still
- 17:30get to Lamb. You have now three hundred dollars more per position, and
- 17:34you filled out an extra spot in the same game with just a seven point
- 17:38spread. You said it, McCarthy on the other side can make mistakes.
- 17:42Love has been just fine. So I'm very curious, and we know Musgrave
- 17:45is back. We'll talk about tight end when we get there. Just leave
- 17:48it with that for now, but title talk to me about Jordan Love first
- 17:51and then talk about quarterback position as a whole. Yeah, for every reason
- 17:55you said I have interest. Hey, I mean he's been balling as of
- 17:57Wait, and you look at this game. I think if the Fackers do
- 18:00stay in it or they win like cowboys are gonna put up points. It's
- 18:04in a dome. I think it'd be a track meet. Love's been playing
- 18:07very well. They're very cheap. If you go Dak, people go Dak
- 18:11ceedee Lamb. Like you just had this Flip's roster construction. You can also
- 18:15take it from the standpoint kind of like hoop matching with Pollard. Aaron Jones
- 18:18is going to be one of the most popular running backs. Hey players on
- 18:22this late, especially running backs, you can totally play him with Jordan Love.
- 18:26But also if you want to try and fade someone popular, Jones doesn't
- 18:30get those goal line touchdowns whatever it may be, doesn't catch as many passes,
- 18:33and it's all on Love shoulders. You can get a big bump up
- 18:37there as well. So and yeah, Muskray being back, it's Tucker Craft
- 18:40that's going to be tangling most of the work. Some two tight end SATs.
- 18:42Musgrave will be out there, but definitely like Tucker Kraft and he'd be
- 18:47in a lot of my Jordan Love parents for sure. Watson news is interesting.
- 18:51I mean, I love the Tavian Wicks regardless, Like the dude is
- 18:53good. Love likes some dods. Is going to be low owned Jayden Reid.
- 18:57That's the one thing that's tough with the Love because you need to get
- 19:00the right pass catchers right, but their ownership's all going to be in check
- 19:04as well. It's going to be a low on stack. When talking to
- 19:07three games late with a fifty total in the dumb So yeah, I'm on
- 19:10some Green Bay stuff. They comparing him right to Stafford. I mean,
- 19:15he hasn't shown it as of late, but Love does have some mobility,
- 19:18some legs. You pretty much need the three hundred yard bonus, feels like
- 19:22from Stafford to get to the optimal especially with quarterback being loaded this week.
- 19:26This props like two seventy. I don't know. I think I prefer Love
- 19:30just a little bit. It's not I like a lot of these quarterbacks,
- 19:32So Mason Rudolph easiest X on this late it's probably gonna be the most condensed,
- 19:37or it's gonna be very close. These quarterback ownership spread out, I
- 19:41wouldn't be surprised if no one gets over thirty five percent, thirty percent something
- 19:47like that. Like the Act's probably the highest zone. Golf six point two
- 19:49k is really cheap. They'll probably be the second highest zone, and Stafford
- 19:53Love Josh all kind of gets some after that. Rudolph definitely my least favorite.
- 20:00I don't know. I've been debating the Josh stuff looking at the total.
- 20:03He's minus one twenty to score on the ground, which he definitely needs
- 20:06to do. If he gets two touchdowns on the ground. It's nice,
- 20:08but I have a problem pairing him with people like I don't really like run
- 20:11naked quarterbacks, and Diggs has been so bad. Jakiro will be popular,
- 20:15so you can kind of go that route or at least the most popular bill.
- 20:18But the acting k they have knocks, there's just so many guys there.
- 20:22I think he is my fourth favorite or fifth favorite on the list.
- 20:26Definitely playing dak I mean, he's probably gonna carve up these packers. That's
- 20:30why I like love, because they're gonna have to play from behind and sling
- 20:32it. Stafford golf in a dome, both revenge narratives, both can easily
- 20:37throw forever three hundred yards Detroit Pass funnel. Like. I love those guys
- 20:41as well. So yeah, I'm not gonna be like I'm definitely playing.
- 20:44I'mm me some stuff. I'm probably gonna in twenty entry or less. I'll
- 20:48probably gonna x Josh and Rudolph and then mix and match those four and then
- 20:53higher or like more lineups. I'll get to some Josh. I don't know.
- 20:56It's tough though, like all four of these, Stafford Love, Scott,
- 21:00Jared Goff, I can totally see breaking the slate. I could see
- 21:03all of them putting up over twenty plus and it's just what combinations and what
- 21:07pass catchers do you get? Right? But the more we talk through it,
- 21:10I think love at the ownership, the pass catching and if you want
- 21:14to get away from chalk Aaron Jones, there's so many routes to go with
- 21:17love, and so cheap can lead money on the table, et cetera.
- 21:21I really do like the love. So what if? What if? What
- 21:22if I told you guys like Josh Allen comes in at like six percent out
- 21:30right, which I think it's I think it's I think it's in the realm
- 21:33of possibilities, to be honest with you, Yeah, I think because if
- 21:37you just blindly run these teams, you're getting no Josh Allen. If you
- 21:40look at the total and people are playing it off that that way, you're
- 21:42no one's playing Josh Allen like it's a different day, it's a day later.
- 21:47People don't want to put themselves in situations where they feel like they have
- 21:49to make swaps. I think Josh Allen could come in. It's just like
- 21:53super super low ownership. Yeah, don't forget yesterday, right, we did
- 21:56the show, but there was no fifty five percent Joe Flacko in the result.
- 22:03He's still got to almost nineteen on a very bad day. I'm talking
- 22:06about, like, that's not what people expected. They were expecting thirty maybe
- 22:08thirty five, and then he jumps to fifty five. We're talking the flagship
- 22:12tournament over on DraftKings, So I think that's what you have to remember.
- 22:17It could be the case here and then funny like this is the comment shut
- 22:18up through. Our guy Sean always out here supporting and appreciate it, but
- 22:22his comment is on the opposite side of what you said earlier. Title like
- 22:26we just talked about two of the goats walking it through. Should be great
- 22:29for Josh Allen and everything that he's got going on. Diggs at seventy four
- 22:32hundred, but disrespectful, we'll get there soon. I don't care how bad
- 22:34he's been. If the price is just bad, he can definitely get out
- 22:37there and do his thing. It's the playoffs. They're gonna try and go
- 22:41to their best guys. Here a Shakir super cheap you mentioned but popular.
- 22:45That's really I don't really love him as much as a one off just to
- 22:48make DAK lineups work. Just to do that, that's a good lineup,
- 22:51and it's gonna do well, probably, but I'm saying I want to look
- 22:52for ways that I can also get different with it, because I do like
- 22:56Shakir with Doe Gabe Davis and then using that slot position up over the middle.
- 23:00So I do like putting him in, But how do I get different
- 23:02with it? And that's the way to play Josh. Plus he can run
- 23:04one in like you said, minus one twenty to score. But real quick,
- 23:07for me, this is about six thousand bucks left on the table if
- 23:11you went to Watson, even if you go to read. But I think
- 23:14everyone's gonna do and feel more comfortable with even if we get the Watson news.
- 23:18Watson's yeah you gotta have. I just realize that, Wow, when
- 23:23you scrolled through, I didn't. I guess I didn't look at his price
- 23:26tag. One go route and he loses the SAMI again. Yeah, we
- 23:30gotta see about like the guys too. Like you said, Wix Melton,
- 23:33I actually prefer them more of Well, if Watson's out, I don't want
- 23:37to really risk them as much just because we you know, like you said,
- 23:40title, you know your team. I like Wix too. I think
- 23:41he's talented. But if if Watson's back, I just think they're still gonna
- 23:45try and push even if he's a decoy. It becomes the other stuff with
- 23:48Red. Don't forget Dobbs. He's the guy that's going lost in the mix,
- 23:51and well he's a pain to deal with as well, almost like Pollard
- 23:55esk of like you play a guy thinking it's gonna happen. He actually does
- 23:56put up touchdowns. He has stuff happening we can see yet. So at
- 24:00fifty four hundred just I think three hundred less than Reid you could do that.
- 24:04But either way, I want to show this. That's five point seven
- 24:07k. You're playing Pollard in that spot because let's say you're not getting to
- 24:11the other side, but one that I don't think we spent enough time on.
- 24:12I know the other day when I was doing these lineups with Mayo,
- 24:15we were talking a lot about golf. That's fine, but the Stafford side
- 24:18of this also very comfortable, very easy to stack up, and you could
- 24:23start doing stuff like this is the same price as ced Lamb or sorry as
- 24:29Dak with ceed Lamb and then one of Brandon Cooks or Ferguson and you still
- 24:34need to fill out an extra spot versus I can wrap up a three to
- 24:38one in a big total game in the second game when we get there anyway,
- 24:41going through position by position, we'll work it all in of getting something
- 24:45like this and still having the same money left over. But then if you
- 24:48want to go down here, I like couple guys, I like Josh Reynolds.
- 24:52That gets me back to the same. So let me ask you this
- 24:56title real quick. I think it's almost the same price, so it's close
- 24:59enough anyway. Yeah, it's almost the same. So a build like this,
- 25:03Stafford Nicoua Robinson ask the chat too. Let me hear from the chat
- 25:06what side you like Stafford Nkua, Robinson, Williams or love red Craft Pollard,
- 25:14four guys from that spot. I'll you go first. Title. What's
- 25:15your thoughts? I like this side. Pooka is the man, Jameson Williams
- 25:19you've been on for a while. DeMarcus is definitely the receiver. Three.
- 25:23I feel better about this because like the reid Craft the stuff with the packers,
- 25:27Yeah, reed Craft, all right, it's Watson and Dubbs today,
- 25:30or it's Aaron Jones. I love to take it like there's just more mouse
- 25:33there and it feels tougher to get right, and Tony Pollard has been awful
- 25:37all the time, so I'd go with this one. Yeah, this looks
- 25:41better. Who what do you? What do you like on that? You
- 25:42go to the Stafford side? Man in locked up with you and you know
- 25:45the Stafford stuff I think is very interesting today because it's well, it's the
- 25:49easiest to stack. You know who the you know who the guys are like
- 25:52he in terms of like the wide receiver duos on this slate, the one
- 25:57two, like the Rams have the best one two wide receiver combo on the
- 26:03slate, and I don't even think it's really all that close. I mean
- 26:06it's you know, Cup and Nikia are phenomenal. So yeah, it definitely
- 26:11pushes me to the Stafford side of these decisions for sure. And no matter
- 26:15what you like here, like if you don't think it's Josh Allen, you
- 26:18don't think it's Dak and you want to do something like this is what I'm
- 26:19noticing though. Look at now we're down to nothing. There's tons of tight
- 26:22ends on the slate that are fair priced. We know defense is cheap,
- 26:26and who cares? Like we are still sitting at five point five K If
- 26:30this stack goes off the minute you were on dak CD, you're down to
- 26:33you know, basically nothing, and if you add in a third pairing,
- 26:36unless it's Gallop or something, you have no money. So just keep that
- 26:38in mind when you're building your stuff out, get your stacks in, figure
- 26:42out what you're gonna do for the other spots for leverage. If you're not
- 26:45on DAK, maybe you're on Pollard. If you're not on DAK or Pollard,
- 26:48maybe you're on Ferguson. Like, there's other ways. You don't just
- 26:52have to go to that. I'm just showing examples here. But now you're
- 26:55up to six k left overly you can almost do whatever you want. But
- 26:57that's one of the other key components which will go there in a second.
- 27:00Kieran Williams, I think is going to be up there as well today,
- 27:03right him and Pollard, probably him, Pollard and Aaron Jones. It looks
- 27:07like, yeah, the are we transitioning to running back? We can don't
- 27:14don't. I don't know much about more else to add there, except,
- 27:15like I said, one quick note, I guess sorry. I will just
- 27:18show this off quickly. Because the teams that you just build it is it
- 27:22just got a thought in my head, like you think, like if people
- 27:25are off this bill stuff, that James Cook would be super popular on this
- 27:29late they're saying, all right, we're not playing Josh Allen Stacks. It's
- 27:32you know, too expensive, the weather's bah blah blah. You think people
- 27:34would just go to James Cook at a super high rate. And that doesn't
- 27:38appear to be what's going on either. So the bill stuff just it really
- 27:41interests me. Definitely true and I like that call quite a bit. I
- 27:45think the key that I'm bringing up that ties into that too is what you
- 27:48said right off the hop on start of this show, where because this game
- 27:52got pushed for whatever reason, it feels like the ownership has switched to it's
- 27:56not on the slate, even though it still is. It's like people want
- 27:59to see themselves winning a million dollars tonight. But we're going back in the
- 28:02day title. We're going back to when you used to have the sleepover.
- 28:04All that money. You gotta have a sleepover, wake up the next day,
- 28:07run your day, and then be able to watch Monday night football and
- 28:10see how that shakes out. Who knows too. Back in the FanDuel days,
- 28:12I remember even like sleeping on leads overnight or a shot that you've got
- 28:17this big opportunity on a Monday. But this is just interesting to note,
- 28:21like when you stack these three up, you still get almost four or five
- 28:23hundred bucks more per position again with this stack, so it's not like for
- 28:29three point four Shakiro doesn't have to do much. If Diggs has a two
- 28:33touchdown day, Allan's crushing. So that's the key. You could run one
- 28:37in and throw two like that's what you're hoping for. If it doesn't happen,
- 28:40the lineup was garbage anyways, so you just throw it out with the
- 28:42rest of those lineups in your portfolio and hope that the other ones come through.
- 28:47That's the key to mme or something like that. It's all up to
- 28:49you how you play it. That's what we always talking about a ship in
- 28:52nation. Build your own process, pick your own stuff, bring it over.
- 28:55We're giving you the ideas you can apply them. Speaking of an idea,
- 28:59I got a good one. Smash the like button almost four hundred and
- 29:02sixty five people watching. It's the easiest thing to do. There is nowhere
- 29:06near four hundred and sixty likes, So do us that favor. It takes
- 29:08just done. You'd be done already. You just go click it. It
- 29:12takes two seconds. I will go to you real quick because you said you
- 29:15want to transition to running back, so I'll let you start it. I
- 29:18do like the James Cook call. I think right now, probably somewhere in
- 29:22the vicinity of twenty percent ish at his spot when you got other guys at
- 29:26thirty five to fifty five range is what I'm seeing right now. So what
- 29:30are you doing here at the running back position? How are you using some
- 29:32of these guys within your stacks? Yeah, you know, we kind of
- 29:34transition to the James Cook conversation, so I'll just stick with him right out
- 29:37of the hop. The reason people would not be playing Josh Allen Stacks on
- 29:41this late is because they think Buffalo is gonna get a lead and just kind
- 29:45of sit on it. And that would lead me to believe that people are
- 29:48just going to James Cook, which doesn't appear to be the case in terms
- 29:52of ownership. He's looking to be like, what fourth fifth at the position?
- 29:59Yeah, fifth or sixth in terms of ownership at the position. So
- 30:03I think it just more so goes to your point, like they push this
- 30:06game to Monday, and people are almost thinking that it's off the slate.
- 30:10And that's definitely fine to do on the Pittsburgh side, because it's like a
- 30:11terrible spot for them. I mean, it's absolutely brutal spot. I'm fine,
- 30:15you know, kind of applying the Miami situation to Pittsburgh, where man,
- 30:21I don't want much of it and the field doesn't, and that's fine.
- 30:22And if there's something on Pittsburgh you like, you're gonna get it at
- 30:26very low ownership I don't like much. But the Bills are still projected to
- 30:30score twenty four points on the slate. That's just like three or four behind
- 30:34Dallas and in Detroit. In those big total games, they're at home.
- 30:37They have a big advantage here. They're used to playing in this cold weather.
- 30:41You know, I think James Cook is a phenomenal plays in that same
- 30:45price range as all those other guys, a little bit more, which might
- 30:48be the reason why his ownership's coming in lower than I would have anticipated the
- 30:53other guys. You know, Tony Pollock is gonna get a lot of ownership.
- 30:56We've already talked about that situation. I'm good both sides that they're projected
- 31:00to score a ton of points. You mentioned the two touchdown prop is looking
- 31:07pretty nice on these sites, the sports betting sites. Sixty one hundred,
- 31:11he'll be popular. Aaron Jones in that same game, sixty three hundred should
- 31:17get a lot of work. And the thing with Jones, there's just so
- 31:19many outs, like they can be getting their ass kicked all game, and
- 31:22Jones can still get there with the dump offs and things like that. Him
- 31:26and Love have a good connection out of the backfield, so you don't need
- 31:29to worry really about the game all that much. And he's looked he's looked
- 31:33good lately as well. So Aaron Jones sixty three if you're trying to get
- 31:36big on that Dallas Green Bay game, totally fine play. Transitioning to the
- 31:41Detroit Rams running backs, Karen Williams probably has the most secure workload I think
- 31:47on the slate, like there's no one coming in behind him, even Tony
- 31:49Pollard. They'll mix in Rico a little bit in Detroit, though obviously it's
- 31:53two headed thing. His workload is so so stable. But he is a
- 31:57little more expensive at three hundred, but man, he's just smashed basically the
- 32:04entire second half of the season can get there. If they're playing from behind,
- 32:07whatever it may be in a dome, He's a strong option. Gibbs
- 32:12sixty five hundred. Again, I you know, it's tough to figure out
- 32:15what the Lions are gonna do, but Gibbs is just such a dynamic player,
- 32:20man, so explosive. I have to imagine in the playoffs here they
- 32:23just get him on the field even more so than before. So I really
- 32:28like Gibbs, but Montgomery as well. I mean, if they happen to
- 32:30get inside the five a couple times, I mean, Montgomery could easily end
- 32:34up being the guy that just gets two touchdowns in this game. Sixty two
- 32:38hundred. His ownership is much cheaper, or his ownership is much lower than
- 32:43all the previous mentioned guys, even Cook that we talked about. Fine,
- 32:46getting some Montgomery exposure, But I don't really want to mess around at the
- 32:51running back position. I mean, it's these top guys, and like again,
- 32:54it's so tough for these cheap running backs, these backup running backs to
- 33:00to kind of get there. So I want to focus on these high end
- 33:02guys. Kyen Williams, Aaron Jones, Gibbs, Pollard, Cook, Montgomery,
- 33:08and then the Pittsburgh guys are actually looking to get They're the only position
- 33:12really on Pittsburgh is looking to get any ownership. I would not I'm not
- 33:15going to be playing Najie Harris. I might get some Jalen Warren, but
- 33:20I don't necessarily think I'm gonna go out of my way to play Jalen Warren.
- 33:23I want to focus on those other guys more so, and James Cook
- 33:28is the one that stands out though, I mean, coming in six in
- 33:30ownership, that whole team, the bill is looking to be low owned.
- 33:34If you're not on some Allen stuff, like I definitely get some Cooks because
- 33:37to me, that's the reason you're not on the Allen stuff is because you
- 33:39think that they can just dominate this game, shut it down and win in
- 33:43a nasty fashion, when in those scenarios you kind of want the running back.
- 33:46So I will be prioritizing James Cook today. Yeah. I threw it
- 33:50up on the board real quick before I go to you title just the you
- 33:52know the dak CD Ferguson. I just used Ferguson in this case. I
- 33:55went, you know, Aaron Jones because we're not on Pollard. You can
- 33:59definitely stack with Paular just sticking to this position. But just to give the
- 34:01idea who mentioned earlier, like you would have to plug somebody like Shakir in.
- 34:06People probably feel more secure with Shakir than going to I think I saw
- 34:09that one. I saw that one coming from the mile away Borrow. Yeah,
- 34:14oh yeah. As soon as you said that name, I said,
- 34:16yep, here here comes something. Something's matching up right behind it. But
- 34:21if you go to your guy gallup there, I mean, people are talking
- 34:23about Tolbert as well. He obviously caught a touchdown last week. He's been
- 34:27in the mix. I guess this would just feel more comfortable for people.
- 34:30It does get you back to the four point eight K. You put a
- 34:31cheap D you can make this work pretty easily. So you know, now
- 34:35seeing it from that perspective, it is good to look it at. One
- 34:38thing I want to bring up though, you know, we got over five
- 34:40hundred people watching. We're getting game shows happening in the chat now. If
- 34:45anyone guesses titles celebrity crush, I got fifty bucks for you. Did they
- 34:50come close here? Title? They said, it's initials l r are they
- 34:52close. I don't even know off the top of my had who my celebrity
- 34:57crush would be. Title doesn't watch movies or I don't think he has a
- 35:00celebrity. I don't think he has a celebrity crush. Yeah, no,
- 35:04I nothing came to my head right away, So I'd have to ponder that
- 35:07for a sec. All right, Title, talk to me. Forget pondering
- 35:09that. Let's move back on that. I just thought it was insane that
- 35:13we see this. Let's let's talk about this stuff here. You know,
- 35:15the chat was talking about playoff Lenny Hoops, talking about James Cook. There's
- 35:20the guys on the Detroit side. Of course, the popular three options that
- 35:22we know up top. But I guess that's the interesting part for me,
- 35:27just starting at this Pittsburgh Buffalo game the same way we started with Hoop.
- 35:30There's nothing going on with this game, like everyone wants to avoid the game,
- 35:32but nothing's gonna happen, Like points are gonna be scored somewhere, and
- 35:37if it's you know, to me, the one interesting the chat said it
- 35:38fifty eight touches for Najee Harris over the last two weeks. What's the best
- 35:44way for Pittsburgh to have any hope in hell in this game is to keep
- 35:47to keep Josh Allen off the field. Will it work? Maybe not,
- 35:52but that's got to be the starting point, right, So at least have
- 35:53some interest in there. And if they fall behind, then doesn't it become
- 35:55the Jalen Warren show where we just see him picking up a ton of PPR
- 36:00points throughout the game. So I actually have a little more interest in the
- 36:01Pittsburgh side. Give me your thoughts on that game, the running backs within
- 36:06it, sorry, and then other running backs that you want to talk about
- 36:08here. Yeah, you pretty much took all the words out of my mouth
- 36:12that I was gonna start. So the first two things I did at running
- 36:15back and again not saying this is right, It's just I'm trying to narrow
- 36:17down my script a little bit. I said, Max One gives in Montgomery,
- 36:22Max One, Naji Harrison Warren, and there are past both of them
- 36:25can get there. But this slate at running back is strong enough. Aaron
- 36:30Jones, Pollard, Karen Williams, those guys, those four we just mentioned,
- 36:34James Cook like, there's enough running backs and I trust points to be
- 36:37put up at the position. If Montgomery scoring, it's not GiB scoring that
- 36:40drive, vice versa with Warren Naji. So I made that rule. Curious
- 36:45to hear your thoughts when we get to it. But I like Nase.
- 36:49I mean, Mike Tomlin's gonna pound Nause early in the game. If the
- 36:52games, if they cover nine as a spread, I think Naji gets twenty
- 36:57five touches more than likely now Dallas, or if Buffalo jumps out early,
- 37:00he gets out to fourteen point lead something like that. Then I think that's
- 37:05where you see Warren playing more trailing, better pass catcher, etc. Which
- 37:08is why I like the max one rule. But I think they both can
- 37:12get there at relatively oops. Right, they're gonna get some ownership. They're
- 37:16not gonna be sub ten percent, I don't think, but they're also going
- 37:19to be six seventh highest owned running back on the slate or something. So
- 37:23yeah, I do like it. I prefer the Nase side. They've just
- 37:25been giving them all the work. I think tom was gonna want to run
- 37:30the ball. I mean, you don't want to drive back with Mason Rudolph
- 37:31more than you have to, So yeah, I like that Nause shout.
- 37:35I do like oops James Cook shout as well. I'm not playing much of
- 37:37that game. I don't like Rudolph, so I'm not really playing any pass
- 37:42catchers or anything from Pitt. Josh is my second least favorite quarterback with price,
- 37:45with weapons, etc. And like you said, Tambo, this game's
- 37:50probably not gonna be three to nothing at the end of the day with no
- 37:52point. So I do find myself coming here in that game to the running
- 37:55back position at most Cook nase I probably. I don't know. Cook and
- 38:00Naji are close. Warren would be a third the other running backs I mean,
- 38:04man, Aaron Jones, Pollard, Aleen Aaron Jones. If I had
- 38:07to pick one, I've seen enough Tony Pollard to be awful this year.
- 38:10Maybe this is is. I'll let you get to that two touchdown prop,
- 38:14which was crazy Tambou for Tony Pollard. Yeah, like Hoop said, Aaron
- 38:17Jones just has so many routes to get there in the pass catching game.
- 38:21No, aj Dillon, He's going to get all the work. He's looked
- 38:23good the past couple weeks. Finally looks healthy, love Aaron Jones. Hien
- 38:29Williams is definitely going to get some ownership too. But when you're you can't
- 38:31go like dak CD Kyron, he's in the tier of his own, I
- 38:36guess kind of pricing wise at seven point three k. People know Detroit gets
- 38:40beat more in the passing game than the running game. I think Jones and
- 38:44Pollard coming higher owned and if you're not going Stafford Pooka Cup and all that,
- 38:50you expect Rams to put up some points. Kyron's been so good.
- 38:52I think he is interesting there. I prefer gives in Montgomery a lot.
- 38:57Like Hoop said, he's just a better running back, more exploded if it
- 39:00is interesting to note though both of them are favorite to score a touchdown gives
- 39:04minus one sixty Montgomery minus one thirty five, So again, that may be
- 39:08a case not to make that rule. I still think the running back room
- 39:12will put the case case to make that. The sportsbooks are fucking printing on
- 39:15those touchdown tops too. Yes, that too for sure, and it's I
- 39:21mean it's interesting though, because Montgomery is the goal line back for the most
- 39:23part, at least usually like the first down goal carry, but gives us
- 39:28a better touchdown prop. He has been getting more work as of late.
- 39:30I do prefer Gibbs there So how i'd rank running backs Aaron Jones my favorites
- 39:37tournaments. I think Gibbs probably is number two, then the Kairon Pollard's,
- 39:42Nasey James Cook, Warren. But I am going to be making a rule.
- 39:45I'm curious to see what you two say about those two rules. Max
- 39:49one Detroit Max one pit running back. That's how I see the running back
- 39:52room. Yeah, I don't know if I'll need the rule. I'll keep
- 39:54a look on it, but I just don't see it happening. Like there's
- 39:57just too many other options. Kieran Pollard, Joe all Way, too good,
- 40:00Gibbs, I don't see him getting in there with Montgomery in my lineup.
- 40:04So it's tough to say, but I definitely don't disagree with them.
- 40:07Like, I think that's fine, And I think the stuff we've said about
- 40:08Nause has come true. I think especially I know our guy Ham got it
- 40:13over, like we talked about earlier. If you go to our site ship
- 40:15at Nation and check the slate plan in the FanDuel slate plan, I know
- 40:19he's got it there, and I like it is. You know with Nause
- 40:21what it's gonna be if he's in the game. I think Pittsburgh d is
- 40:23somewhat in the game. You know, Alan can make mistakes, it doesn't
- 40:27you know, the Bills can win the game, and Allan can still throw
- 40:30two picks and Nage can still score and have sixty five on the ground or
- 40:34whatever and still be valuable at the lower price point. So I definitely think
- 40:37that's something the Pollard thing was. And our guy Jake shout out to you
- 40:39always in here supporting us and bringing some good stuff into the chats. As
- 40:43Pollard finally binks today. I brought it up pre show to these guys.
- 40:46He's in some places minus two hundred to score a touchdown, minus one to
- 40:50eighty. Most places, he is plus two fifty some places plus two twenty
- 40:54five to score multiple touchdowns today, And I know it's what we always say.
- 40:59Who said it's actually hilarious to me. Though I didn't go back and
- 41:01backtrack this or see it. I don't remember it ever being this insane,
- 41:06but usually whop when we saw the Pollard love or the Pollard stuff, it
- 41:10was when Dallas was a ten point favorite or more. This is in the
- 41:14finally we're getting a close game here, like a seven point spread. It
- 41:16may not end up being a close game by the end of this thing,
- 41:20but finally we get a close spread of just seven and all of a sudden,
- 41:22Pollard's the nuts to the sports books, Like, now they're gonna put
- 41:25that in there. I mean, we saw it yesterday. You know,
- 41:28when they moved Joe Flacco's throwing prop from two seventy one to two seventy four.
- 41:32You just knew he was gonna hit that prop, and sure enough he
- 41:36did. So. I don't know any other thoughts there on Pollard just in
- 41:38general. And I know you gave the sports book a little smack there,
- 41:42a verbal salaking if it will, but carry on, go ahead. Yeah,
- 41:45I mean, I just think it's more attention on this these games in
- 41:50the playoffs, more people betting that sort of thing, and probably driving driving
- 41:53the price in that direction in my opinion, Like I'm not buying into it
- 41:58too much. Fantasy wise, I think he's a good play. I mean,
- 42:00Dallas is projected to score almost thirty points today, and yeah, get
- 42:06I get the Pollard stuff. That's why Dak has been such a printer.
- 42:08First all season, Pollard has been ineffective at the running back position, and
- 42:13they've been passing on even a couple of games ago, they could have shut
- 42:15it down with the run, and they're still passing in the fourth quarter,
- 42:19like not trying to grind out the clock. That's just another little boost to
- 42:22our guy Dak, who's treated as well. But the Pollard stuff, I
- 42:24mean, yeah, he's just he's been in effective all season. But the
- 42:30spot is really good today and he's cheap and he's gonna be owned and I
- 42:34don't know, it's it's definitely an interesting talking point, but he'll be a
- 42:37lot of people will just be going to Pollard today because they want Cowboys exposure.
- 42:40Yeah, do you see something? Let me ask you this then a
- 42:43different way to put it for another angle. Do you see where Pollard's ownership
- 42:46stays the same or goes up and Lambs comes down just because people start looking
- 42:51at it like we kind of did here, Like how hard it is the
- 42:53minute you pick these two dudes. It's very bad, Like you have to
- 43:00run it. So answer you answer your question. I just I've been messing
- 43:02around with some teams as we're going along, making changes based on you know,
- 43:06what you guys are saying, like the comments and the chat, and
- 43:07I am starting to realize, especially if you're doing one point fifty, if
- 43:12you don't embrace high ownership on some of these cheap guys on the slate,
- 43:16you got to embrace some very high ownership on these cheap wide receivers, these
- 43:21cheap tight ends. If you don't embrace that, it is hard to get
- 43:24a lot of DAK to CD LAMB teams. It is not It is not
- 43:28easy. It starts, it starts running. You start running into trouble relatively
- 43:31quick. And and by embrace big ownership, I mean you're playing big ownership
- 43:37on DeMarcus Robinson, You're playing big ownership on Shakir, You're playing big ownership
- 43:43on Jamison Williams, Tucker Kraft, Josh Reynolds, guys like that. So
- 43:47it does, it gets, It gets tough in a hurry. And I
- 43:52do think there's a chance that scenario makes DAK to CD a little little less
- 43:59owned than maybe you were anticipating. Yeah, because look at this too,
- 44:01though, Like this is just the balance style build that you roll out.
- 44:05Like again, assuming people are just good with DeMarcus Robinson, well why not
- 44:08make them good with who would make them really good for your overall lineup?
- 44:12And ceiling is Stafford, nku oh, Wort, Cup Robinson, a Manra,
- 44:16Gibbs, Pollard. Because you're not on the DAK side, you still
- 44:20have four thousand with cheap tight ends, cheap DST and then whatever you want
- 44:23to put in for the flex spots. I mean, like that's another interesting
- 44:27point just to look at it where you're not really even if you think Pollard
- 44:30sucks, I was trying to show it off, like man, people just
- 44:32do not like Pollard. It's all over the chat right now. They're done
- 44:36with them. He's dust. There's nothing he can do. Probably true,
- 44:39But again it's just one angle to look at. Is if you are going
- 44:42to Lamb instead, makes perfect sense. Lamb's been crushing. But if you're
- 44:46not gonna be on them, you got to think where are they getting their
- 44:49points from their schedule to put up almost thirty points on this slate the digs
- 44:53over Lamb. You could do something like this as well. You could also
- 44:57just say I've got Stafford, Nikua, Robinson, give me Gibbs opposite or
- 45:01Montgomery of who everybody's looking at Kieran Williams up top here, and then you
- 45:07go to where's our guy? Everyone's playing cheap. Shakir, you're not playing
- 45:12Lamb because you've got Pollard. You go up to Diggs, you actually still
- 45:14have more now you got four point two k. This is just the way
- 45:15I think about Bill's process. Whise looking at it out, you still got
- 45:19to make it make sense. People just try and jam a projection or put
- 45:22something there. I'm still trying to think of what we talk about all the
- 45:24time at Shibernation, game theory, correlation, leverage. That's what I'm doing.
- 45:29If I see that that dak stack looks expensive, even though people say,
- 45:32oh, well, maybe some people won't get there as much anymore,
- 45:35they're still getting there. They're still finding their way around it. So if
- 45:37you look at something like this, it's Stafford Nakua Robinson a little more balanced
- 45:43instead of Shakir and somebody else. I've got the pay up to Digs,
- 45:46the pay down to Robinson. Robinson will be popular too, but I'm putting
- 45:51them with Stafford. Gibbs will be popular too, but I'm putting him opposite
- 45:54the guy more popular than I'm in, Kieran Williams. And then I don't
- 45:58even love Pollard as much, which just everyone may you know, think I
- 46:00am the way I'm talking about it. But if I'm not getting the Gibbs,
- 46:04I'm probably playing Pollard. You could flip it though, you like something
- 46:07like this a little bit better, go to Ferguson. Now get your take
- 46:09in there on. Oh well, let's see if they want to try and
- 46:13drive nause in there. Now you got even more money left over and you're
- 46:15playing that spot, so lots of different ways that you can do it here.
- 46:19Anything else to add title? If not, we can move on to
- 46:22wide Receiver. No, everything you said, I mean you help me make
- 46:25my I was debating on multiple things for my core, and again we don't.
- 46:29We just want you coming over pay look at the core and do that.
- 46:32There's so many options, but I was debating a lot of combinations and
- 46:37your thought process and what went into Like my Stafford core would look a lot
- 46:40different than my Jordan Love core in this, but I'm taking everything into consideration.
- 46:45Jones or the Chalk Jones, Pollard, CD, the Chalk Punch,
- 46:50Shakir DeMarcus, all that stuff, and those pieces I like in different roster
- 46:54constructions depending on my stack over stacks, game environments, etc. So I
- 47:00think maybe even going back after the show rewinding and listen to that tidbit Campbell
- 47:04thought process. That's important. That's how you get an edge and build lineups,
- 47:07especially on these shorter slids. So good stuff. Yeah, appreciate it.
- 47:10I'll go over to our stack rankings here. Again we don't the other
- 47:14sites. Oh you got to get in to get behind the paywall. We
- 47:15try and show as much as we can. We do all kinds stuff.
- 47:19A ton of my stuff you guys follow me for years, is always free.
- 47:22All these shows we do are free. All the content we're putting out,
- 47:23it's just some of the stuff it's easier to combine on the site obviously,
- 47:27and that's part of it. But really the discord key combination piece for
- 47:30joining up. We're talking about this strategy and theory and reasoning in the chat
- 47:34every day, even if sometimes it is to play fun at certain members of
- 47:37the chat, and just to think through it. That's what we're talking about,
- 47:39not just this guy versus this guy all the time. But going to
- 47:42our stack ranking, just pull up the top three here we've got again it
- 47:45includes the Monday game, but we're not on that one for this slate.
- 47:49But just take note of this. But let me sort by value dak Prescott,
- 47:53Lamb, Ferguson, Stafford Robinson, Nakua which we just talked about,
- 47:59and then go off a Monra Reynolds. So kind of what you would expect
- 48:01there, But again just looking at it. If I talk about this all
- 48:05the time, I did it on the review shows plenty with my guy Naids
- 48:07throughout the season. If I go to this Stafford Robinson, Nikua, I'm
- 48:12not on this passing attack, I probably want to plug in Ferguson because Lamb
- 48:15gets too expensive. Or if I'm not gonna be on the passing attack,
- 48:20I want to maybe move over to Pollard and look from that angle, maybe
- 48:22Reynolds becomes my value play. So just lots of stuff that you could take
- 48:27away. Some of these just one quick tools. We've got it all covered,
- 48:29but the projections and ownership are the main thing. The discord where you
- 48:32could put it together with the thought process if you're new to any sport.
- 48:36NFL is about to end, but for NBA PGA, we've got the education
- 48:39courses up and running where you can come in. You can just go there

- 48:58anything that you can win. When PEP people ask you that what ship it?
- 49:00That's what I tell him, ship it. We'll talk about it all
- 49:04the time on here, because we don't talk about manscaped or all these other
- 49:07things. We talk about something that can actually help you guys out and get
- 49:09better at your game, get better at actually playing dfs in general, building
- 49:14your own process, finding something that you can make repeatable and win on your
- 49:16own without just chasing and following other people that have good screenshots and stuff.
- 49:21We have those two. That's not what it's about, Hoop. Let me
- 49:23kick it over to you. Man. We're getting late in the show,
- 49:24but it is a Sunday show, so I was talking a little bit more
- 49:29wide receiver tight end. I mean, we can bring in pass catchers together,
- 49:31but I think just talk brough. We've already spent a lot of time
- 49:35talking about them in general. Take us wherever you want to go with this
- 49:37wide receiver position man. Yeah, so I mean starting at the top.
- 49:40I mean, obviously Cde Lamb has had a phenomenal season. The connection with
- 49:45Dak it has not slowed down at all. I mean it's the top connection
- 49:50in the NFL wide receiver quarterback pairing. He'll be owned today. But like
- 49:53I said, you go in and you start building those teams, especially if
- 49:57you're making multiple teams, you want a pair DAK and CD. You showed
- 50:00it on the screen as well in the solver with our projections. You put
- 50:04it in there. Your thin real quick in terms of how much salary that
- 50:07you have left. So is it gonna be owned? Yeah, it will
- 50:10be owned. Maybe, you know, we get lucky and it comes down
- 50:14a little bit because people are like, yeah, you know what, I
- 50:15only have forty eight. You know, once you put in defense, you
- 50:17have about five thousand left per spot. You got to play two to three
- 50:21cheap guys in these sort of teams. Every team, every team, every
- 50:25DAC CD team you make, you have to play probably three valued type guys.
- 50:30So maybe the ownership on CD comes down a little bit. It's gonna
- 50:34be up there, for sure, There's no doubt about it. We have
- 50:37a Mona Saint Brown obviously, if you want to get in on that Detroit
- 50:39game, I think he's a phenomenal play. Talked about the Ram stuff.
- 50:43You know, we talked about a lot of these guys as we're you know,
- 50:45building teams, talking about two v two s, three v threes.
- 50:47But man, the Rams guys have to be the top one two duo on
- 50:52the slate in terms of, you know, the one two wide receiver for
- 50:55each team, like both those guys. Stephan Diggs seventy four is going to
- 51:00get squeezed, and I just have a strong feeling that the Buffalo stuff is
- 51:05going to be lower on than even the projection sites are kind of predicting.
- 51:08So it's a spot I want to be on. Seventy four hundred. It's
- 51:12a cheap price tag. That game's a writeoff for a lot of people.
- 51:15Just I'm not even looking at it, and you can just tell by the
- 51:19ownership numbers, and like you said, I think it comes in even lower
- 51:22the Green Bays seduff got to see what's going on with Christian Watson, Like,
- 51:25if he's in forty five hundred, I'm definitely gonna take some shots on
- 51:30him in the Dome, which is very key. Jaden Reid, I think
- 51:32a phenomenal play fifty seven. I mean he's the guy second half of the
- 51:37season whenever Watson went down. I mean he stepped up in a big,
- 51:40big way, big play upside. They use him in a lot of different
- 51:43ways. You know, they'll give them the end around in the red zone.
- 51:46I mean that stuffs very valuable because you're not only depending on the quarterback
- 51:51to get you the ball at that point, you're just taking a handoff and
- 51:52going. And they use him in a lot of different ways. I think
- 51:57he's a solid out and talked about Wis the other pass catchers for Dallas.
- 52:04You know, I'm kind of hopping all around, but I definitely want some
- 52:07Cooks big time touchdown upside. They I think it's like back to back weeks.
- 52:10They kind of hit him on that little route going out of the end
- 52:14zone at perfect pass from Dak. Imagine that forty nine hundred. I do
- 52:17want to take some chances on Gallup though. If I'm gonna be high on
- 52:21Dak, I want to take chances on Gallup at thirty one. He's had
- 52:23a bad season. The results have not been good, but they continue to
- 52:27give them looks in these high leverage spots. So Gallup's a guy that I
- 52:30want him basically the bare minimum at thirty one hundred, and he'll be way
- 52:32way less owned than Jamison Williams, shak Here and DeMarcus Robinson as the third
- 52:39chief guy. I guess yeah, those three chief guys, Jamison Williams,
- 52:45Shakir, DeMarcus Robinson all will get pretty good ownership. But man, it's
- 52:50like they are the premier chief guys on the slate. I at this point
- 52:55thing, I like Jamison Williams the best, to be honest with you.
- 52:59I mean, he not only is going to get more playing time, but
- 53:01he has the big playoff side. They're getting him the ball in a lot
- 53:05of different ways now and I think he's going to be a big part of
- 53:07the Porto's limited at all today. I think Jamison Williams is the one that
- 53:13gets the biggest boost. We've seen the targets go up seven six three last
- 53:17game. Really like Jamison Williams and the three in the last game. I
- 53:22think he got hurt so it could have potentially been more. I'm going to
- 53:29be off the Pittsburgh stuff. I mean, their ownership is going to be
- 53:30really really low. But man, I'm just not playing that spot at all.
- 53:35But there is a lot of wide receivers. We have spends, we
- 53:37have cheap guys. I think the middle range might get squeezed a little bit,
- 53:42like the Jayden Reid's Brandon Cooks guys like that could get lower ownership because
- 53:46I think a lot of people either go to the top and get like CD
- 53:50the Rams guys or Manra, or just come all the way down and play
- 53:52those cheap guys. So the mid tier I think has a chance to go
- 53:54a little lower on than we're anticipating. Yeah, the chat Socamo this two
- 53:59real quick hoop. Just the elite three wide receiver builds. Like you talked
- 54:02earlier, when you ran the stuff, you saw all those values pop in.
- 54:06The running back position is just two loaded. I think to mess around
- 54:08with that, but on this land, I can't. There's just no way
- 54:14I can go there and play Naji Harris, Rico, Dwodoo or Lenny as
- 54:19my running backs. I would I would if I'm on that team, I
- 54:22would email DraftKings and see if you can just get your money back or just
- 54:24unregistered. At that point, you just can't do it unread real quick on
- 54:29note and then I'll let title take overs like this is the other thing too,
- 54:30we talk about this. We're probably higher. I think other sites are
- 54:34around twenty four to twenty five on LAMB. But this again what we talk
- 54:37about all the time. Who would I talked about it yesterday? Almost seven
- 54:38hundred people in you're watching now, appreciate all of you. Just want to
- 54:42say it quick though. One of the points we made yesterday was remember projections
- 54:45one piece of the puzzle. Definitely important, something that I build into my
- 54:49process. But part of my thought process when looking at some of these builds
- 54:52like this, and I put them all on the screen not for this build
- 54:54to show this exercise is when you got eleven on Cook's and twenty seven LAMB,
- 55:00that's the projection going in. What happens the second that the first touchdown
- 55:04goes to Cook's and not Lamb. Well, now these numbers shift, and
- 55:07now a guy like Kieran Williams, let's say you still believe in this number
- 55:12or you think the twenty is more accurate. That's how this build becomes more
- 55:15probable because even though it projects a little less. Right now, if this
- 55:19is actually seventeen, and your guy Lamb comes down to twenty. You now
- 55:23got Lamb. If you think Kieran could do the same for twenty points for
- 55:28seven point three k as opposed to nine k. Can this build still work?
- 55:31Yes? Are you leveraging in a completely different way than with Pollard or
- 55:36with Aaron Jones. Yes, you're going to Dax still, You're going to
- 55:38Ferguson still, but then you're using Cooks in the middle. If you get
- 55:42a touchdown from Cooks, a touchdown from Ferguson and Lamb just has eight for
- 55:45eighty and does his job and they keep him in check, but he still
- 55:50has a good day. That's probably not needed. And now you've got a
- 55:52build here that's different that can still fit some pretty serious options. Aaron Jones
- 55:57opposite Pollard, Kieran Williams, with one of Jamison Williams or somebody else.
- 56:01You can still go to Shakir and have all the money in the world left
- 56:06over. Or you can go to if you want, instead of Shakiir.
- 56:08You think he's gonna be popular down there, you still get away with it
- 56:12and get digs in instead of people on the lower price Shakiir. So again,
- 56:15just another build you can find that you can get different with title your
- 56:19quick thoughts wide receiver and then we'll go to tight end and get out of
- 56:22here. Yeah, I'll just group wide receiver tight end together. I'll go
- 56:25just team by team, make it easy because you're only playing a handful of
- 56:29guys on each team, a lot of them with a stack. So starting
- 56:32with the Packers, the Watson news is important. If Watson's in, so
- 56:37DraftKings sports book looking at receiving props. Assuming Watson's in, they have read
- 56:42by far the highest or yards prop. Then they have Wix two, Dubs
- 56:47three, Kraft four, and then Watson five. So interesting there. I'd
- 56:54like read for sure, regardless of Watson status. I like Wis for sure,
- 56:58regardless of Watson's They like him in Green Bay as getting some DeVante Adams
- 57:02comps four point eight k outside of Reid, and I even think Reed himself.
- 57:07I think the Packers are gonna go pretty low owned at the wide receiver
- 57:10position. I like Tucker Craft two at three point three K. He might
- 57:15he might get a little ownership there, but I would if I'm in love
- 57:17Stacks, I'll mix and match him. Reed Wicks, I guess maybe if
- 57:22Watson plays, but Read and Wicks are my favorites. With Kraft, Dobs
- 57:25is gonna be very low on f five to four. I don't love him
- 57:29as much as one us. I just maybe one or take a shot at
- 57:31one of them, getting two of them. Not with Jordan Love, stuff
- 57:35is a little tough, but yeah, a lot of options in the Green
- 57:37Bay receiver room, which is another reason staffing Jordan Love is pretty tough because
- 57:42you're parlay in getting Love a big game and then getting the right pieces that
- 57:45he throws to Dallas side easy at CD Ferguson, Brandon Cooks. I don't
- 57:52really love Gallup or Tobert. They're kind of splitting more as a wide receiver.
- 57:54Three they can run the ball fine, really just coach Ferguson Lamb for
- 57:59me. All very good plays Ramside. Yeah, you guys broke it down.
- 58:01Can't be more obvious hooka cut DeMarcus and three receiver sets. Someone asked
- 58:07like, why didn't de Marcus play much the last week? They didn't have
- 58:09anything to play for two to two? Got the work feels very obvious.
- 58:13It's gonna be DeMarcus will be popular at three to six, but he'll be
- 58:15on the field of good amount Hickby, He'll be pretty low. No,
- 58:20I shouldn't say that. Three point four k kind of in the same craft
- 58:23situation as a punt tight end. You can use him as double tight end.
- 58:27Bills and Stars and Scrubs Detroit, Amen, Ross Studd and Jameson Williams
- 58:30couldn't agree more like him a lot today, Josh Reynolds. And then I
- 58:36mean, man, I don't know. I'll let you guys touch on the
- 58:37porter He's gonna be super low owned. The knee looks bad. He practiced,
- 58:43he's gonna play if he's out there like a normal role. I mean,
- 58:45at this ownership would be criminal. At six k hardest, I don't
- 58:50know. I'll let you guys touch on that. I don't want to.
- 58:52I don't know what I'm gonna do with the Porta probably not played too much,
- 58:54but there's so much variance in that projection in that playing time, he
- 59:00could get there and break the slate. At low ownership. Pittsburgh, Yeah,
- 59:02cross them all off for me. Buffalo, I'm a little lower I
- 59:07think now on this Buffalo spot. Especially then Hoop Shakira's gonna get some ownership
- 59:12I like Williams and DeMarcus right in that range too, so I'm not sure
- 59:15he's a fine play there, but I don't love it. Digs. If
- 59:17I'm playing Josh, I'd probably pay him with digs, but it's been disappointing.
- 59:22Kinkad a solid tight end option. Don't really like Knox. I like
- 59:24Craft and the Craft, the Higbees and stuff like that more so that was
- 59:30position or receiver a tight end in all six teams. Yeah, I'll let
- 59:34who finalized title in a second before we do, we got to do our

- 1:00:30tough to follow up that that marketing pitch. But in terms of tight ends,
- 1:00:34ye, I didn't rope them into my conversation with the pass catchers,
- 1:00:37but the tight end position, the report of thing is very interesting. Six
- 1:00:43K is going to be very well on, you know, regardless of what
- 1:00:46news we get. There's no way he's one hundred percent. Like I saw
- 1:00:50the videos this week. He's got some big ass brace on his knee like
- 1:00:52he is not one hundred percent by any means. But they don't have any
- 1:00:57tight ends, Like if it's not him, it's literally just brock right,
- 1:01:00which man that that can't feel good, So they're gonna put him out there.
- 1:01:04Think you know, he has to be at least seventy percent healthy at
- 1:01:07this point, seventy percent him versus one hundred percent brock Right, you definitely
- 1:01:12just roll out Laporta and hope for the best. In terms of DFS,
- 1:01:15How do we apply that he's going to be super low owned The position I
- 1:01:19think is pretty weak, to be honest with you, Like you could see
- 1:01:22a lot of these guys busting like is uh is Jake Ferguson a lock to
- 1:01:25get us eighteen Fantasy points today? Absolutely not. He's his projection at ship
- 1:01:30a Nation is thirteen, so his floor is low. He could get to
- 1:01:35six or seven. Higbee's questionable. His floor is low. He's the fourth
- 1:01:38passing option on that team. Tucker Craft low floor, Kincave low floor.
- 1:01:45So Laporta going out and getting twelve could be enough on the slate. So
- 1:01:47for that reason, I will make sure to have some Sam Laporta low ownership,
- 1:01:52especially on Jared Goff teams. I mean, there's no way Laporta gets
- 1:01:57big ownership on the slate, So I might feel like, yeah, even
- 1:02:00yeah, it could be long that. I mean, if you're playing one
- 1:02:02point fifty, you play them at five percent, you're probably above the field.
- 1:02:07They're a worst case scenario right at the field, maybe gets little steam
- 1:02:12because people are like, all right, he's in good to go. We
- 1:02:13get a video of him warming up and he looks good and everyone's good to
- 1:02:15play. But there's no way he gets out of the single digit range.
- 1:02:19So I will be on him. Ferguson obviously, I like Dak. I'll
- 1:02:22be on Ferguson, Higbe's cheap at thirty four, Tucker Craft thirty three,
- 1:02:27dalton Kin Cad forty six hundred. You just have to be on these guys
- 1:02:30by necessity. We have to fill the position. Can play double tight end
- 1:02:34for sure on the late especially if you're playing a lot of DAK to CD,
- 1:02:37you have to play these cheap tight ends. You have to play two
- 1:02:42tight end teams as well. So you know, I don't know, like
- 1:02:45it's you know, Ferguson's probably the top option, and I think there's a
- 1:02:49gap after him for me. You know, Higbee Craft I view as similar
- 1:02:52play as king Kid, like I want to be on the bill stuff.
- 1:02:55Obviously, I've talked about it a lot on the show. I think that
- 1:02:58game, that team is forgotten. I'm fine, you know, taking the
- 1:03:00Steelers guys and getting rid of them, but the Bill side don't want to
- 1:03:04be on so cincaid. I'll get some of some knocks Laporta, but I
- 1:03:08think Laporta is a pretty big talking point at the tight end position. Yeah.
- 1:03:14One thing I'll say about him, because I don't have much to talk
- 1:03:15about him. I just think probably an x like even if he gets to
- 1:03:19two or three percent, I just don't think he's gonna be needed. That's
- 1:03:21why I think it is what it is, like. People know he's even
- 1:03:23in one fifty. You don't want just a little bit what if twelves the
- 1:03:29answer at tight end? If you can sell yourself on the fact that twelve
- 1:03:31is the huh six k Yeah, but the position though, if you can,
- 1:03:37if I tell you twelve is the number you need at tight end to
- 1:03:39win today, are you on them? No, I'm not on him because
- 1:03:43I think I'm just gonna say it here, like talking out loud, just
- 1:03:45about how I talk about Game three and stuff like this, and just in
- 1:03:46general what the field's doing matters most to me. I think he could get
- 1:03:50eighteen points and not end up on the winner today. It's actually possible because
- 1:03:53if he's one to try. I disagree I disagree with that statement. Well,
- 1:03:57you don't know what everybody else does. It's like what we talk about
- 1:03:59in go off. If he gets eighteen but Knox has fourteen or Tucker Craft
- 1:04:03has thirteen or something just done, it's probably done at that point. I
- 1:04:06still I guess. I guess the difference. I just don't see that that
- 1:04:11second part becoming true where multiple guys get like fourteen or fifteen. So I
- 1:04:14don't. Yeah, I get it, trust me. It is not a
- 1:04:16comfortable player, and he is substantially more expensive than these other guys. If
- 1:04:20he was five k it might be a little bit of difference. You are
- 1:04:24sacrificing some high end players to play Laporta. I totally get sure. That's
- 1:04:29my point. The two three percent stuff, I can just if I can
- 1:04:30take five percent of my teams and be over the field on La port I
- 1:04:34think I'm gonna take that chance. Yeah, I think if you play them,
- 1:04:40I like it a lot more in just one tight end lineups saying the
- 1:04:43whole position, boss, because if you put him in two tight end lineups,
- 1:04:45you're comparing him next to the Aaron Jones, the Tony Pollards, the
- 1:04:48Montgomery's, the reads stuff. Like that. So that makes sense. Yeah,
- 1:04:53that does actually make sense. I like that call. Yeah, And
- 1:04:56I also think the way you were framing it up was almost like it's a
- 1:05:00Laporta versus the field bet, and I'm gonna take the field all day.
- 1:05:02I think there's actually good options. There's good fair options to pair with my
- 1:05:05quarterbacks. Yeah. I guess maybe I didn't clarify, but I was just
- 1:05:08saying, like, worst case scenario if the position buss, which I think
- 1:05:11is viable. I mean, these aren't like high end tight ends on the
- 1:05:15slate today, Like if the position buss and someone just needs twelve to thirteen
- 1:05:19points, like it could be Lapart like Tampa. Let's say Craft gets five
- 1:05:26points and that's the highest scoring five point five the highest scoring cheap tight end
- 1:05:30or Laporta gets thirteen. What would you rather? It's like the worst hypotheticals.
- 1:05:36I'm just saying. My point is that I'm not gonna answer, Like,
- 1:05:40the point is is that what you guys are saying is also the same
- 1:05:44if on the other way, if Laporta gets twelve or thirteen, you need
- 1:05:46them, but you're ifing the other guys not getting anything on a pool of
- 1:05:50like nine guys that are all super cheap. Like you said it best title,
- 1:05:54Laporta is the same price. He busts up my lineup from potential and
- 1:05:58you can play both. But I'm saying there's just one, two, three.
- 1:06:01There's like five, six, seven dudes that are the same price in
- 1:06:04my lineup that I'm also going to play as well. There's just all this
- 1:06:08stuff. If I'm playing Laporta, I'm playing him with golf and I'm hoping
- 1:06:11he breaks the slate, not hoping that he's the twelve that I need.
- 1:06:14Also, people again, I just always bring this up. I think Hoop
- 1:06:16was right off the hop. If he's only two percent owned, which is
- 1:06:19a very high possibility, I don't Well, everyone loves to go to that
- 1:06:24for the diamond in the rough because if I just get that big Laporta game,
- 1:06:27I win. It's not true. There's only two percent of the teams
- 1:06:30in the entire entire field that have him. You need eight other spots to
- 1:06:34go correct, and most of them are gonna bust that up. What if
- 1:06:38fifty percent of those teams are with Pollard, and Pollard dies and has a
- 1:06:41bad game and he's not needed. Your lineup's die. Don't don't have him,
- 1:06:44your lineups go to the wasteland. So all I'm saying is, it's
- 1:06:47not like Laporta is getting pushed to like an eight to ten percent spot where
- 1:06:51you actually have to consider it. I just don't even have to consider it.
- 1:06:55He might be one or two percent at six K and I just don't
- 1:06:58think he's gonna be needed. And even if he has twelve eighteen points,
- 1:07:00it may not be needed. Still. That was kind of my point.
- 1:07:02There's seven or eight guys at a much cheaper point per dollar rate that could
- 1:07:05still crush him. And now I see both sides. Honestly, I'm not
- 1:07:12saying like you have to do it for me personally, I'm taking the chance.
- 1:07:15And you know, maybe there's a little bias because I'm gonna be at
- 1:07:18the game and then his ass goes off and I don't have him, I'm
- 1:07:20gonna be fucking pissed. Yeah, but I'm playing Showdown tonight too, so
- 1:07:25I'll be in that. But now I can answer titles question because when I
- 1:07:28just talked through that, I want the six points or whatever five point five
- 1:07:30from Kraft because guess what, Now my lineup has like three or four dudes
- 1:07:34at almost the same price or just slightly more than Laporta that I think crush
- 1:07:38him. And if he beats me, he beats me. But I'm just
- 1:07:41saying there is still the best part about Laporta is if he gets eighteen,
- 1:07:45there is a possibility he still doesn't show up because the right combos don't have
- 1:07:49him like you don't. If there's only two percent of the field on him,
- 1:07:51it doesn't guarantee that he shows up. What if he shows up with
- 1:07:56eighteen and it's not with Goff, I bet you a bunch of people got
- 1:07:59him with golf, and golf can get beat too. So I don't know.
- 1:08:01I'm not scared of that answer anymore. I think that, you know,
- 1:08:04just talking through it, I don't need it, nor do I care.
- 1:08:08So probably won't end up with him at all, to be honest,
- 1:08:11We'll have to look at my lineups after and I'll put it in the discord
- 1:08:13if I do have him. But I don't see anyway right now that I
- 1:08:15get to him. No, Yeah, I mean I'll have probably just a
- 1:08:20little bit, just you know, just because I'll be looking. I'll be
- 1:08:24looking on Twitter and stuff and warm ups. I want to see how he's
- 1:08:26moving and stuff like that, for sure, and I will say he's also
- 1:08:30the brunt. He's the Agalore of the week. He's taking the brunt of
- 1:08:32it. It's not about really Laporta as much as I'm talking through more of
- 1:08:36how I view it. When you get a guy at six K on a
- 1:08:40slate like this, with the true slate dynamics and the players that we have
- 1:08:43to use and the games in front of us, he's just the one taking
- 1:08:45the brunt because he's literally the only dude at tight end at a price point.
- 1:08:49It's not really necessarily about the injury beyond the injury forces the low ownership.
- 1:08:55So hopefully that helps clarify and explain it. Anything, Hoop, you
- 1:08:58wanted to add on the defense at all? I know we usually just say
- 1:09:00wherever, but was there any key points you had, like the Najee Harris
- 1:09:04Steelers one I brought up earlier, any like that. The only thing I
- 1:09:08really wanted to say, Well, obviously Buffalo is going to be the highest
- 1:09:11honed by like a wide margin. I mean, they're they're obviously in a
- 1:09:14really good spot at home against the Bills offense against or against the Pittsburgh's offense,
- 1:09:19Mason Rudolph, they're going to have the highest owners. There's a there's
- 1:09:23a comment earlier though, uh it was far back, and you know,
- 1:09:27we've had a lot of comments since, and we obviously appreciate the chat being
- 1:09:31active here throughout the show. But someone had mentioned like the Rams and the
- 1:09:34Lions defense, which I think is I think both are really good plays on
- 1:09:39the slate. That's the highest total game. People tend to avoid the highest
- 1:09:43total game, but you have two quarterbacks that are turnover prone and not necessarily
- 1:09:45the most mobile guys. We saw golf and golf is off. Let me
- 1:09:50see, how can I put this together? Dan pressing Tambeau and there I
- 1:09:55was going, but I couldn't. I couldn't get the third piece. When
- 1:09:57golf is off, the opposing defense has an opportunity to put up some points.
- 1:10:01You eat fumbles, throws, interceptions, It just doesn't go good for
- 1:10:05him. So I think Rams defense definitely in play. And then Lion's on
- 1:10:09the other side. Stafford definitely a turnover prone guy. So I think those
- 1:10:13two defenses are defenses that I want to be overweight on. Rams and Lions.
- 1:10:17It's the highest total in the slate. People tend to avoid those spots.
- 1:10:20I like that, like the Bills as well. Cowboys have a strong
- 1:10:25defense. So I'm not again similar to yesterday, like I just I don't
- 1:10:29really care what I have at defense. I'm gonna just you run it,
- 1:10:30play it. But I will make sure I have rams and lions. When
- 1:10:33GoF is bad, there's pick sixes to be had. Bang, there we
- 1:10:36go. All right. Yeah, I knew you'd come up, you'd have
- 1:10:39something. You just get that one rolling. I still, there's got to
- 1:10:43be something with the in the chat. Can you guys help us out when
- 1:10:45golf is off? Fill in the blank, because there's got to be something
- 1:10:49in the chat. You guys have been good with this stuff, so give
- 1:10:51us something moving. He's got chat GP up right, give me a ride?
- 1:11:00Yeah, I don't even have that. Yeah. The one thing I
- 1:11:02will say, though, who if you brought it up it goes with your
- 1:11:05original points. I'll tie it back together. The last one I'll do here
- 1:11:08and then kick it the title for defense and final thoughts. But Bill's d
- 1:11:12you mentioned extremely popular? What's the bill you mentioned earlier that's not extremely popular
- 1:11:15that you could easily pair with it most of you. This is the best
- 1:11:17part. People don't want the Josh Allen side. They don't want Stefan Diggs.
- 1:11:21They don't necessarily want Kinkaid or Knock still get mixed in a little bit
- 1:11:26for sure. But they do want Bills d They don't want James Cook.
- 1:11:30Most people do want defenses with their running back. People are still doing that
- 1:11:33all the time. So why not cut some of that Bill's d down ownership
- 1:11:36wise and throw Cook in with it and just use that yesterday everybody had Pacheco
- 1:11:42Chiefs. Why not go with Bills and have Cook? So I don't hate
- 1:11:45that either. Title defense thoughts and then final thoughts before we get out of
- 1:11:49here. Yeah, you guys covered up. I mean, it's such a
- 1:11:51varying position. Fortunately, one of these six are probably gonna put up ten
- 1:11:56more than everyone else, and you'll need them. I'm just gonna like Najie
- 1:12:00Harris and I'll be more likely to play Steelers defense James Cook, I'd be
- 1:12:03more likely to eat Bill's chalk. But at the end of the day,
- 1:12:05we see it all the time. Even these very high total dome games,
- 1:12:09points are put up. They sling it. There's a pick six I Oop's
- 1:12:13got the Detroit shirt on, so I think of the Raiders midway through the
- 1:12:15season when Raiders just outscore Detroit. I know Hoop had the second nut,
- 1:12:19so I hate to bring that up, but they're like very very very low
- 1:12:23owned. Not a great spot. One play that game changed everything in the
- 1:12:27game a couple of years back to scored like one hundred points in Mexico City
- 1:12:30and the defenses were needed. It's so random. I'll try and make make
- 1:12:35the defense make sense in my lineup and tell a story at the end of
- 1:12:38the day. That's all I'll be going about it. Darren got him,
- 1:12:41Darren got the good one. That's the only one that you can't like the
- 1:12:44worst? Is this the worst ever? Let me show the worst ever when
- 1:12:48you rhyme it with the same word like that's anybody could do that better than
- 1:12:53that. I've learned. Yeah, So all right, Hoop. Final thoughts
- 1:13:00this slate, man, before we get a title, did you give your
- 1:13:00I heard the defense by anything else you want to talk about? On the
- 1:13:03thoughts? It's a really really fun three game slate kind of like we talked
- 1:13:09about a two game site for a lot of people. By far that pitt
- 1:13:12Buffalo game will be the least owned. But even just with the Green Bay,
- 1:13:15Dallas and Rams Detroit, there's so many sort went tod and today?
- 1:13:19How about them coin coming at you on the way out title? They wait
- 1:13:23until the end of the shots. They wait. They don't want to say
- 1:13:27it early. They wait till he's doing his final thoughts and try and dunk
- 1:13:29on him. They didn't want to say it early. Hey, hey,
- 1:13:31big Mike, you'll find a way to lose that game and get the Packers
- 1:13:34a dumb a dub bookmark that. But I'm excited to know it's It's ownership
- 1:13:40is gonna be spread out, running back rooms, loaded wide receivers, is
- 1:13:43pretty concentrated for the cheap options. It's a fun slate for sure, and
- 1:13:46I very good. I don't know we said that yes yesterday. Flat Goos
- 1:13:49ownership was so different than I thought. I wouldn't be surprised at all.
- 1:13:54No quarterback came in over thirty five percent, But maybe something is really surprising
- 1:13:58out there. So overstep, leave a little salary. Make your lineup makes
- 1:14:02sense, and do remember Fandel has the Sunday and Monday both games the Tampa
- 1:14:06and Eagles on that slate as well. Check out ham slate planning and everything.
- 1:14:11But yeah, go pack, oh baby, yeah, go ahead,
- 1:14:15hoop. I see you saw one that you like bringing up. I mean,
- 1:14:17I regret, I regret going to the chat to finish off my rhyme
- 1:14:21at this point, I will say, definitely disappointed. So I shouldn't even
- 1:14:25have said that. But are some funny stuff. And I know the reason
- 1:14:29is so funny to me because I know you're asked to sit and reading these
- 1:14:31and you're just like, oh my gosh, this is just so pitiful.
- 1:14:34I won't say it out loud, will I see the disappointment. I see
- 1:14:39the disappointment on your face as he's just keep rolling in. Yeah, I'm
- 1:14:43reading them all. I always read the chat. Go ahead, your final
- 1:14:45thoughts on the site. Yeah, again, just talking about in the opening,
- 1:14:48I'm glad they kept this third game on FanDuel obviously has the fourth game
- 1:14:54as well, and I mean it makes a hell of a difference in terms
- 1:14:56of roster construction of what you do when we've got two games versus three.
- 1:15:00And I'm gonna stick to my main point that I kind of talked about all
- 1:15:03throughout this show. I think some combination of the Bills, whether it's Cooking
- 1:15:08the defense or Josh Allen, ends up on the winner on the slate.
- 1:15:13So I'm gonna I'm gonna make sure to have some Bills exposure, whether it's
- 1:15:16Josh Allen to Diggs, Shakir Kincaid cook with the Bills defense, I think
- 1:15:23some combination of that ends up on the winner. Just have a feeling.
- 1:15:26So I'm gonna make sure to build some teams in that fashion, especially in
- 1:15:30MM. Looking forward to it, I mean, we have some some really
- 1:15:33good games, the Packers, Cowboys, Rams Lines. I'll be down there
- 1:15:36routing on the squad tonight and then we have the two games tomorrow and we'll
- 1:15:42are we going normal time for the show tomorrow, normal Monday time time slot
- 1:15:45now that we've got the two games the same thing, Yeah, so to
- 1:15:49eastern to eastern tomorrow, Yes, so yeah, we'll be too eastern breaking
- 1:15:54down two games. It's supposed to be obviously the showdown slape, but we'll
- 1:15:56be back doing the two games tomorrow as well. They released those prize pools
- 1:16:00yet. I know I'm asking a lot of questions here in my closing,
- 1:16:02but I haven't seen the big prize pools for the two gamer I'm assuming this
- 1:16:08morning. I don't think I'm gonna just pull this real quick too. It's
- 1:16:12got to be pretty big. I mean it's prime they don't have yet,
- 1:16:15so they'll have some big prize pools. We'll be breaking it all down tomorrow.
- 1:16:18Level our showdown content out for the Lions and Rams tonight as well.
- 1:16:24Two games slate. Everything is essentially up. I'll be adding my player exposures
- 1:16:28here this afternoon after we get the inactives in that first game. But good
- 1:16:32luck to everyone, and again as always looking forward to seeing those ship at
- 1:16:36Nation logos at the top. We had a lot of success last night.
- 1:16:39We're going to finish off this weekend strung. Do you want to get in,
- 1:16:41go to ship nation dot com. Use the promo code mayo that I'll
- 1:16:44get you in for today. But the big stuff coming up, the PGA
- 1:16:46memberships, all of those. I did see that one on the way out,
- 1:16:49so good. That's pretty good. Bend over and cough. Well,
- 1:16:51we'll end it with the night before Christmas Jay trying to make up for the
- 1:16:55double rhyme of off. When goff is off, the fans will scuff.
