- 0:45Speaker 1: as always to break down all things Week twelve DFS.
- 0:49Speaker 1: A lot of content out there focuses on one P fifty, max, mmy,
- 0:53Speaker 1: all those different factors. We do a ton of that
- 0:55Speaker 1: ourselves as well, but this one, this show focuses on
- 0:58Speaker 1: single entry GPP. Folks. We're going to talk about ownership
- 1:01Speaker 1: in a way you usually don't hear it talked about.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Then we'll go down the lane to talk about how
- 1:05Speaker 1: that forms the common build and how we can leverage that.
- 1:08Speaker 1: And then at the end, once we've done all the
- 1:10Speaker 1: homework and research and put it all together with you
- 1:12Speaker 1: guys here in the chat, we're gonna make sure that
- 1:13Speaker 1: we give our leverage Lane for the week. If you're

- 1:21Speaker 1: Any recap from last week, my friend before we get
- 1:23Speaker 1: into it, and how you doing on this fine Week
- 1:25Speaker 1: twelve Saturday, morning.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Last week was brutal. I had I had the Chargers
- 1:30Speaker 2: triple stack and Herbert was terrible, the offensive line was terrible.
- 1:34Speaker 2: It was a tough one. But had another really good
- 1:37Speaker 2: week in the NBA Street to over an underdog and
- 1:40Speaker 2: pick them. So yeah, it's been a really fun season.
- 1:43Speaker 2: And I'm doing a little bit new analysis this week
- 1:47Speaker 2: in my discordeous kind of building these new matchup charts
- 1:50Speaker 2: that I think. Very excited to see how those work
- 1:53Speaker 2: this week. But but yeah, I think it's this is
- 1:56Speaker 2: a fun slate because there's a lot more that's kind
- 1:59Speaker 2: of a in the air ownership spread out. Obviously we're
- 2:03Speaker 2: gonna talk about that, but this feels like a week
- 2:05Speaker 2: where we have more license to be contrarian that we've
- 2:08Speaker 2: had most of the season, and that makes me exciting.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I love weeks like that. And I mean, the
- 2:14Speaker 1: thing about this week, I hear a lot of people
- 2:15Speaker 1: saying the same thing, is like, it's oh, it's exact
- 2:17Speaker 1: same as last week. It's Brissette, it's Michael Wilson, it's McBride.
- 2:20Speaker 1: There's a lot of factors to that. Actually, I want
- 2:22Speaker 1: to talk about it. I think it's quite different and
- 2:23Speaker 1: also it's not the same when you go and buy
- 2:26Speaker 1: your happy meal for five dollars and then you go
- 2:28Speaker 1: back to next week and buy it and it costs
- 2:30Speaker 1: seven dollars. It's different. Their prices have changed. It does
- 2:33Speaker 1: change a little bit now some of them, like McBride,
- 2:35Speaker 1: maybe not enough, and we'll get to that when we
- 2:37Speaker 1: talk about it, for sure. But going back to last week,
- 2:40Speaker 1: you know, the Bijon call definitely was a good one.
- 2:43Speaker 1: I know that went well. I felt like James Cook
- 2:45Speaker 1: just left a ton on the plate, but he still
- 2:47Speaker 1: had almost twenty DraftKings points. But the Bijeon Tet secondary
- 2:51Speaker 1: would have been very nice to have a lot more of.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Like I saw it all come into play after we
- 2:55Speaker 1: talked about it, with triples and things like that. And
- 2:58Speaker 1: if you just had Brissett Wilson McBride, I'd put Dorch
- 3:01Speaker 1: in there to make it all fit. You could almost
- 3:03Speaker 1: land on Cmcbjon tet and get two hundred plus points.
- 3:06Speaker 1: However you want to get there and have a chance
- 3:08Speaker 1: to get up to two fifty and ship the millie.
- 3:10Speaker 1: But congrats to those winners last week. We are onto
- 3:13Speaker 1: this week. This is a fun slate. Like you said, Alex,
- 3:15Speaker 1: and I think it's an important one to talk about
- 3:17Speaker 1: from a couple different angles. One the part I started
- 3:21Speaker 1: the show with just there a second ago talking about
- 3:23Speaker 1: the it's the same, but it's not like I'll let
- 3:25Speaker 1: you talk more on next. I know you've got some
- 3:26Speaker 1: numbers and things over there, and then just sort of
- 3:29Speaker 1: what you're seeing across the board early stages here, you know,
- 3:31Speaker 1: ways people are going industry stuff that you see on
- 3:34Speaker 1: different ownership projections. I'll let you take over and start
- 3:36Speaker 1: us off.
- 3:38Speaker 2: So last week we had we had this like collection
- 3:41Speaker 2: of really expensive guys, all projected really well. The field
- 3:45Speaker 2: wanted to, you know, get as much of those guys
- 3:47Speaker 2: as they possibly could. They had a really cheap Arizona
- 3:49Speaker 2: stack that would help them get those guys. We don't
- 3:52Speaker 2: have the same sort of setup this week, and so instead,
- 3:56Speaker 2: to me, it looks like people are saying, Okay, well,
- 3:59Speaker 2: what off can really separate? And that's a pretty easy answer.
- 4:04Speaker 2: It's Detroit against this New York Giants defense. So when
- 4:08Speaker 2: I sort by you know, projected ownership for single entries,
- 4:13Speaker 2: I see I'm on Ross Saint Brown's second, Jamison Williams fourth,
- 4:17Speaker 2: and Jamier Gibbs fifth, so very clearly people want to
- 4:20Speaker 2: play these lions, and then also has me really kind
- 4:24Speaker 2: of boosting up Jared Goff's projected ownership or I think
- 4:26Speaker 2: I might be double like the industry average on golf
- 4:29Speaker 2: and even higher than that in single entry projected ownership.
- 4:32Speaker 2: It just seems too likely that people say, oh, I
- 4:35Speaker 2: very naturally landed on Jamison and Saint Brown, I may
- 4:39Speaker 2: as well throw golf in there. I very naturally landed
- 4:42Speaker 2: on jameson Gibbs, I can I can still throw a
- 4:46Speaker 2: golf in there, And so I think that game is
- 4:48Speaker 2: going to be pretty popular. The fact that those Lions
- 4:51Speaker 2: are going to be really popular might boost up Wandell Robinson.
- 4:55Speaker 2: So it's not like, you know, one of those situations.
- 4:59Speaker 2: It's not quite like the Arizona stack last week, where
- 5:03Speaker 2: there were multiple reasons why people were using them. It
- 5:05Speaker 2: wasn't just because people liked Arizona. It was also because
- 5:07Speaker 2: people realized, oh, Arizona gets me whoever, I like. Everyone
- 5:12Speaker 2: playing Detroit this week is playing them not because of
- 5:14Speaker 2: what the Detroit sack gets them elsewhere, but solely because
- 5:17Speaker 2: of the Detroit sack. So it's not gonna be quite
- 5:19Speaker 2: as popular. But I think they're still going to kind
- 5:21Speaker 2: of really dominate ownership, and it means that we need
- 5:25Speaker 2: to get that game right. We need to have the
- 5:27Speaker 2: right combination of lions and or have no lions if
- 5:32Speaker 2: that's the way it breaks. But getting that Detroit game correct,
- 5:35Speaker 2: I think is going to be the key to the slave.
- 5:38Speaker 1: I agree, And I also think it's funny because I
- 5:39Speaker 1: think a lot of people coming in thought that was
- 5:42Speaker 1: the sneaky spot, like, oh, it's you know, I'm just
- 5:44Speaker 1: if everyone's gonna play Gibbs, I'm gonna go to golf
- 5:46Speaker 1: doubles and triples. No you're not, because, like Alex said,
- 5:49Speaker 1: go look at the argument you can. I'm not saying don't. Obviously,
- 5:51Speaker 1: they're scheduled to put up thirty points at home. I
- 5:53Speaker 1: think it's a great spot, but just a tidbit, and
- 5:55Speaker 1: it's not my leverage Alan later. I'm just telling right now,
- 5:58Speaker 1: the leverage in that game is to play Montgomery and
- 6:00Speaker 1: the Detroit defense, not the over like all the other
- 6:03Speaker 1: stuff is getting on. Alex just said, if three of
- 6:05Speaker 1: the top five are the two receivers and Gibbs, there's
- 6:08Speaker 1: ways to play Gibbs with a Monroe, Like you can
- 6:10Speaker 1: literally play all of it together. So while we saw
- 6:13Speaker 1: last week, you know different stuff where if I just
- 6:16Speaker 1: throw Dorchin this, that and the other, well find me
- 6:18Speaker 1: your dors in that price tag, it better be brock, right,
- 6:21Speaker 1: I guess. But then now you're definitely going likely more
- 6:24Speaker 1: double tight end than not with McBride, which we'll talk
- 6:27Speaker 1: about in a second. So I don't know, it's not
- 6:29Speaker 1: as sneaky as people think it is coming in. I
- 6:30Speaker 1: think a lot of people just auto, you know, assume
- 6:33Speaker 1: Gibbs is all the ownership. Therefore I'll just go to
- 6:36Speaker 1: these guys instead. All those guys are coming up, especially
- 6:38Speaker 1: on single entry, which is just like the Browns D
- 6:42Speaker 1: pushes up Quinn Shawn Judkins, vice versa. It's the same
- 6:45Speaker 1: thing here. If a Monron Jamison are popping up and
- 6:47Speaker 1: you think, okay, I'm moving off Gibbs to them, but
- 6:49Speaker 1: not everyone's gonna play golf in single entry. What we're
- 6:52Speaker 1: talking about here, that is gonna happen too, So gonna
- 6:55Speaker 1: have to look for alternative measures. And if you're going there,
- 6:57Speaker 1: just look for other ways to get different because most
- 6:59Speaker 1: of those bills, even the overstacks, still fit the same shock.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I really like this. Have you heard me talk about
- 7:04Speaker 1: this before, Alex, Usually it's in the PGA DFS streets,
- 7:07Speaker 1: But what lazy weeks?
- 7:09Speaker 2: I've heard you talk about it, but I don't totally
- 7:12Speaker 2: understand it. So I wanted to charity in.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, it's good to talk about. That's why I
- 7:15Speaker 1: asked you, Like, it's really it's it's not even a
- 7:17Speaker 1: real thing, because obviously not everybody's lazy, and there's so
- 7:20Speaker 1: many people that are grinding, you know, every single day
- 7:22Speaker 1: and going into all this stuff. But in PGA DFS
- 7:25Speaker 1: you get those weeks where people just don't pay attention.
- 7:28Speaker 1: It's the off season, it's not one of the big
- 7:29Speaker 1: signatures or majors, so they just take what all the
- 7:32Speaker 1: podcasts say or what all the stats in the model say,
- 7:35Speaker 1: and you get some insane ownership on some plays. You're like,
- 7:39Speaker 1: holy smokes, Like, obviously you've got GVP scores things like
- 7:41Speaker 1: that that we can look at. We've got the stone,
- 7:43Speaker 1: you can find that the people that are digging in.
- 7:45Speaker 1: But the lazy week means the grand masses, the majority
- 7:49Speaker 1: of people, and I think this week to go collect
- 7:51Speaker 1: my man Kyle. His point is that what's happening It's
- 7:54Speaker 1: not like everyone's being lazy. It's just like there is
- 7:56Speaker 1: some stuff like, oh, it's it is lazy in my opinion,
- 7:58Speaker 1: not actually like calling some out or anybody in particular,
- 8:01Speaker 1: just saying to say it's the same as last week.
- 8:03Speaker 1: It's not like we just talked about so many ways
- 8:05Speaker 1: that it can be different. It's lazy if you just say, Okay,
- 8:08Speaker 1: I got this now, I'll just plug this and hope
- 8:10Speaker 1: that it hits like last week. That you got to
- 8:12Speaker 1: dig in and you got to find the edges and
- 8:13Speaker 1: the angles, and that's what this stuff is all about.
- 8:15Speaker 1: So I think that's important to remember when you get
- 8:17Speaker 1: weeks like that, those can really be to your advantage
- 8:20Speaker 1: and you want to pay them off. So we're gonna
- 8:22Speaker 1: dig in and try and find out more about that.
- 8:25Speaker 1: The other I don't know if this is an elephant
- 8:27Speaker 1: in the room or the thing that I want to address.
- 8:28Speaker 1: I guess is like Case Brown, Emmanuel Wilson. I will
- 8:33Speaker 1: say this the more I thought about it, and I'll
- 8:35Speaker 1: get your take too. But Jacobs is quoted now. He's
- 8:38Speaker 1: on record yesterday saying if I'm not ready for this week,
- 8:42Speaker 1: I should be back by thanksgiving up to me, it's
- 8:44Speaker 1: already been talked about. It's a short week, it's an
- 8:46Speaker 1: important game. Why would they push them back. They're still
- 8:49Speaker 1: in a great spot here with or without them. Like
- 8:51Speaker 1: to me, I don't know what if that means you
- 8:53Speaker 1: should play Wilson. I'm just telling you that that is.
- 8:55Speaker 1: It seems to me like I would suspect Josh Jacobs
- 8:58Speaker 1: to still be out this week. So that does for conversation.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Do you have any thoughts on the Wilson spot the
- 9:04Speaker 1: Chase Brown spot. We're gonna go to our usual roundabout,
- 9:06Speaker 1: but just start there.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Yeah, So my thought is, I'm not that interested in
- 9:11Speaker 2: either of these guys. Maybe Chase Brown if you're trying
- 9:14Speaker 2: to play the New England side, because if they're if
- 9:16Speaker 2: they're trying to catch up, Like you know, if you
- 9:19Speaker 2: look at the kind of targets that Demark Chase has
- 9:21Speaker 2: gotten this year, especially since Black was taken over, it's
- 9:24Speaker 2: not the downfield stuff Higgins has had more of the
- 9:26Speaker 2: downfield stuff Chase has had more like get the ball
- 9:29Speaker 2: in his hands for an easy completion, let him do
- 9:31Speaker 2: his thing after the catch, almost like an extension of
- 9:33Speaker 2: the run game. On a lot of those targets, I
- 9:36Speaker 2: think a lot of those aren't going to a different receiver,
- 9:39Speaker 2: Like they're not going to go to Yoshabas for example,
- 9:41Speaker 2: They're going to Chase Brown. So I think he could
- 9:45Speaker 2: have such an increased role in the passing game this
- 9:48Speaker 2: week that he is still viable against New England, but
- 9:50Speaker 2: I don't think he's worth a forty two percent that
- 9:53Speaker 2: we're projecting in single entries right now. And kind of
- 9:56Speaker 2: the thing for both of these guys, I think is
- 9:59Speaker 2: when I when I I play a running back, I
- 10:01Speaker 2: want to be playing someone whose offense I expect to
- 10:04Speaker 2: really thrive that day. And I don't see that from
- 10:07Speaker 2: either the Bengals or the Packers this week going up
- 10:10Speaker 2: against New England and Minnesota. So for that reason, I
- 10:13Speaker 2: think I'll try and get more in tray and running back.
- 10:15Speaker 2: I said off the top, like this is a week
- 10:17Speaker 2: where I think we have more licensed to be contrarian
- 10:18Speaker 2: than we have a lot this season, and running back
- 10:21Speaker 2: I think is the main reason why. Like one of
- 10:25Speaker 2: the things I always say is it's not just about
- 10:27Speaker 2: being right about who we play, it's being right about
- 10:29Speaker 2: who we don't play. I'm less afraid this week of
- 10:32Speaker 2: the chalk that I would hypothetically choose not to play
- 10:35Speaker 2: if I'm playing someone contrarian, which makes me then want
- 10:38Speaker 2: to say, okay, well, if I'm not afraid of the
- 10:41Speaker 2: chalk beating me, then I may as well, you know,
- 10:44Speaker 2: go take my chances, because that's kind of the way
- 10:46Speaker 2: that I look at It's like every every chalk that
- 10:50Speaker 2: I'm not afraid to be beaten by is an opportunity
- 10:53Speaker 2: to go find a GPP winner, to go find a separator.
- 10:56Speaker 2: Chalky guy can't help you separate because if he goes off,
- 11:00Speaker 2: going off with you know so much of the of
- 11:02Speaker 2: the field. So when I have that opportunity to go
- 11:04Speaker 2: find a separator, I'm gonna take.
- 11:06Speaker 1: And what do you think about something like this? I
- 11:08Speaker 1: talk about it too sometimes, but like the concept. So
- 11:11Speaker 1: we saw this a few weeks ago. It was I believe,
- 11:13Speaker 1: Atlanta at Miami when everybody was on bijon and then
- 11:16Speaker 1: all of a sudden we got the late We had
- 11:18Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins in first of all, and then we got
- 11:20Speaker 1: the late news of Drake London being out, and then
- 11:23Speaker 1: everyone still stayed, myself included. Again, you learn from these mistakes,
- 11:26Speaker 1: win or learn. But the setup was after you saw
- 11:29Speaker 1: it as soon as lock hits and you see how
- 11:31Speaker 1: this game starts, You're like, oh, wait a minute, clear
- 11:33Speaker 1: action to what happened here. Their run defense does still suck,
- 11:37Speaker 1: but they're just gonna make Kirk Cousins throw to Kyle Pitts,
- 11:41Speaker 1: Darnell Mooney as a wide receiver one and like Casey Washington,
- 11:45Speaker 1: and they're just gonna do everything in their power to
- 11:47Speaker 1: shut down Bijon not saying that the Patriots can do that,
- 11:50Speaker 1: but they can. They obviously have the ability to just
- 11:53Speaker 1: shut down. Do you think it's more likely that you
- 11:56Speaker 1: see them just use well, what's the guy Rodriguez, I
- 11:59Speaker 1: think is his name, Like, use someone like him just
- 12:01Speaker 1: to say, look, takeout Tea, we'll figure out the rest
- 12:04Speaker 1: and and maybe Chase Brown does still pick up. He's
- 12:08Speaker 1: got eight and fourteen targets the last two weeks to
- 12:10Speaker 1: your point there, But do you think he becomes more
- 12:12Speaker 1: likely if it isn't one off, or is it like
- 12:14Speaker 1: Higgins that becomes it, or do you just go could
- 12:17Speaker 1: you just leverage it and play the Patriots defense against
- 12:20Speaker 1: them when most on a higher price defense are not
- 12:22Speaker 1: on the Patriots.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Christian Gonzalez is the guy you are, you're camping, I think,
- 12:27Speaker 2: and and yeah, I think he will be on on
- 12:31Speaker 2: on Higgins quite a bit. Now. We have seen in
- 12:33Speaker 2: the in the past few weeks, like at the Atlanta
- 12:36Speaker 2: Falcons did a really nice job with Drake London of
- 12:39Speaker 2: using route concepts that would force Gonzales off of London
- 12:44Speaker 2: and that worked well. Now, if we're talking about offensive
- 12:49Speaker 2: play design and Zach Taylor in that category of play
- 12:52Speaker 2: caller and and scheme designer, I don't think so. And
- 12:56Speaker 2: also like he'd be more used to doing that sort
- 12:59Speaker 2: of thing for Jamar Chase than t Higgins. So I
- 13:02Speaker 2: think one of the kind of themes that I've been
- 13:06Speaker 2: talking about a ton over the last month in my
- 13:08Speaker 2: discord on is this idea that because of the way
- 13:14Speaker 2: the NFL is functioning right now, where you were seeing
- 13:17Speaker 2: fewer explosive plays and so the successful teams, the successful
- 13:22Speaker 2: drives are more third down conversion. Third down conversion, you know,
- 13:25Speaker 2: running the ball, trying to stay ahead of the sticks,
- 13:27Speaker 2: taking what the defense is giving you. We're seeing a
- 13:30Speaker 2: lot more instances where even expensive running back and wide
- 13:33Speaker 2: receiver pairings are doing really really well together, and we're
- 13:37Speaker 2: basically getting like almost a binary outcome for a lot
- 13:40Speaker 2: of offenses, where either you're getting multiple guys hitting because
- 13:44Speaker 2: the offense is having success moving the ball down the field,
- 13:47Speaker 2: or you're getting nobody hitting because they can't succeed. You
- 13:49Speaker 2: brought up that Atlanta and Miami game, like that's a
- 13:53Speaker 2: perfect example, because people loved money that game, people loved
- 13:58Speaker 2: vjeon that game, people love pits that game. They all failed.
- 14:02Speaker 2: What we saw last week in that Carolina game was
- 14:05Speaker 2: Beijon was the absolute nuts. But guess what if London
- 14:08Speaker 2: hadn't gotten hurt, they probably both would have gotten to thirty. Right,
- 14:11Speaker 2: And so for years we've thought of, oh, if I'm
- 14:14Speaker 2: paying eight thousand dollars for this running back, I'm not
- 14:17Speaker 2: also paying almost seven thousand dollars. It might have been
- 14:19Speaker 2: over seven thousand dollars for his stud receiver teammate. Because
- 14:23Speaker 2: they can't hit together. They really can, and they are
- 14:25Speaker 2: hitting together a ton this year. Pooka and Kien Williams
- 14:28Speaker 2: have smashed together. Jamior Gibbs and I'm on Russein Brown.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Jamior Gibbs and Jamison Williams were both optimal last week.
- 14:34Speaker 2: So you know it's we're seeing more and more of this,
- 14:37Speaker 2: and so when I think of the Cincinnati game, to
- 14:40Speaker 2: directly answer your question, I think I'm not trying to
- 14:44Speaker 2: find a one off from them. I'm either saying they
- 14:48Speaker 2: get shut down as an entire offense because they're playing
- 14:50Speaker 2: a quality defense without Jamar Chase and they don't have
- 14:54Speaker 2: much of a running game, so the chance that they
- 14:56Speaker 2: just fail as an offense is pretty high. But if
- 14:58Speaker 2: they have success, it's probably t Higgins has you know,
- 15:03Speaker 2: eight for one hundred and a touchdown and Chase Brown
- 15:06Speaker 2: has one hundred total yards and six receptions. So I'm
- 15:09Speaker 2: gonna play where I'm either using t Higgins and Chase
- 15:13Speaker 2: Brown or I'm using neither, instead of trying to pick
- 15:15Speaker 2: the correct one off and hoping that the game kind
- 15:17Speaker 2: ends up middling where they only have a little success
- 15:20Speaker 2: and it's all through one guy.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, let's move on. Let's go to the other
- 15:25Speaker 1: spot that we I know you talked a little bit
- 15:26Speaker 1: about this already, but you know, the Trey McBride factor.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Michael Wilson forty eight. Trey McBride obviously the biggest talking
- 15:33Speaker 1: point I think you know right now at least of
- 15:35Speaker 1: the entire slate, because he's at a onesie position, you
- 15:37Speaker 1: could play double tight end. I know that, but like,
- 15:39Speaker 1: just looking at it from that perspective, how are you
- 15:42Speaker 1: handling the McBride spot, Because I know in the past,
- 15:44Speaker 1: when we've done like Pooka at seventy three hundred, it's
- 15:47Speaker 1: you know, pretty clear stances from you where it's like
- 15:49Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna figure this out. I'm gonna put
- 15:52Speaker 1: him in, figure this out around it, and then go
- 15:54Speaker 1: from there. Is that sort of how you're thinking about
- 15:56Speaker 1: the McBride spot, because he obviously fits into pretty much
- 15:59Speaker 1: any build, stars, scrubs, balance, stackable, whatever you want to do.
- 16:03Speaker 1: How are you thinking about him? And then if you
- 16:04Speaker 1: want to lump Wilson and will do that, and then
- 16:07Speaker 1: we'll just do a quick roundabout and get to the
- 16:09Speaker 1: next segment.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Man, McBride is so hard this week. This decision is
- 16:14Speaker 2: killing me because, on the one hand, the matchup is phenomenal.
- 16:17Speaker 2: Jacksonville has been really good for tight ends and they've
- 16:19Speaker 2: been the best matchup in the league for wide receiver ones.
- 16:23Speaker 2: And part of what that tells us, because remember, one
- 16:26Speaker 2: of the reasons why they're showing up as being bad
- 16:28Speaker 2: against tight ends is because brock Bauer's scored a million
- 16:30Speaker 2: Fantasy points against them. He's their top option. So one
- 16:35Speaker 2: thing that this tells us, just kind of in general
- 16:38Speaker 2: about this Jacksonville defense is they don't do a good
- 16:40Speaker 2: job of taking away the opponent's primary option. They don't
- 16:43Speaker 2: do a good job preventing the opponent from kind of
- 16:46Speaker 2: doing what they want or getting the ball where they
- 16:48Speaker 2: want in the passing game. And so that screams played
- 16:51Speaker 2: trade McBride. But I also have this thought of I
- 16:54Speaker 2: think Tran McBride in this entire Arizona offense is crazy,
- 16:58Speaker 2: crazy inflated right now because they keep hitting in garbage time,
- 17:01Speaker 2: they keep hitting where you know, McBride probably still would
- 17:05Speaker 2: have gotten there last week just from when the game
- 17:07Speaker 2: was competitive, but he went from hey, that's a pretty
- 17:11Speaker 2: good game too, you needed to have him because of
- 17:13Speaker 2: garbage time the week prior, he hadn't done a thing
- 17:16Speaker 2: until they were down literally four scores, like literally over
- 17:20Speaker 2: twenty eight points. They were down before he started to
- 17:22Speaker 2: do anything of any relevance. And so I'm kind of
- 17:25Speaker 2: torn where I don't see Jacksonville building a large enough
- 17:29Speaker 2: lead where Arizona gets into that you know, garbage time
- 17:32Speaker 2: where the defense is just kind of sitting back and
- 17:34Speaker 2: letting them throw those twelve yard completions to McBride over
- 17:38Speaker 2: and over and over again. So I think he's overvalued
- 17:41Speaker 2: by the market as a whole right now, but that
- 17:43Speaker 2: might be canceled out by the fact that this is
- 17:45Speaker 2: a really good matchup. So I think it's gonna be
- 17:47Speaker 2: really really lineup based for me. And just does he fit?
- 17:50Speaker 2: Do I have another tight end that I really like,
- 17:53Speaker 2: particularly like, is there a tight end that I want
- 17:55Speaker 2: in the stack that I'm using. If there isn't, I'll
- 17:57Speaker 2: probably use McBride. If there is, I'll probably go with
- 17:59Speaker 2: the guy in the stack.
- 18:01Speaker 1: And what about Michael Wilson. I mean, like the other
- 18:03Speaker 1: thing is like doors last week was way cheaper Michael Wilson,
- 18:05Speaker 1: way cheaper. Michael Wilson does not need to get fifteen
- 18:09Speaker 1: for one hundred and eighty five this week to pay
- 18:10Speaker 1: off his price tag. But obviously that was helpful last week.
- 18:14Speaker 1: Dorsch was a product of garbage time as well. Really,
- 18:16Speaker 1: that last touchdown went to him seventeen yards where I mean,
- 18:18Speaker 1: if even falls at the one, if some butts, I
- 18:20Speaker 1: get it. But if anything like that can change the
- 18:23Speaker 1: game quite a bit. So I'll let you just talk
- 18:25Speaker 1: a little bit about Michael Wilson. I'm actually pulling up
- 18:27Speaker 1: one more thing I want to look at too, but
- 18:29Speaker 1: go ahead.
- 18:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Wilson was probably the guy who was
- 18:31Speaker 2: least dependent on the on the garbage time run last week.
- 18:35Speaker 2: George was like almost ninety percent dependent on it. But
- 18:39Speaker 2: I don't want to play Wilson here because I don't
- 18:42Speaker 2: think I would have much interest in Marvin Harrison at
- 18:44Speaker 2: forty eight hundred dollars. I like the quote wide receiver
- 18:48Speaker 2: one of this offense just hasn't been that productive. The
- 18:52Speaker 2: matchup is good enough for it, but man, I don't
- 18:55Speaker 2: think that Michael Wilson is ever deserving of this ownership
- 19:00Speaker 2: in which should be a pretty competitive game. So I look,
- 19:05Speaker 2: there's a very good chance that not playing Arizona burns
- 19:08Speaker 2: me again. But if that's the reason that I failed
- 19:10Speaker 2: this week, I'm okay with that because I don't want
- 19:12Speaker 2: Michael Wilson.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Yeah. The one thing I wanted to add on to
- 19:14Speaker 1: and I talked a little bit on it yesterday with Mayo,
- 19:16Speaker 1: but not everybody watches all the different shows across the week,
- 19:18Speaker 1: So I'm definitely still gonna touch on it and then
- 19:20Speaker 1: get your take too. Is part of that process is
- 19:23Speaker 1: like the garbage time factor that you talked about, is
- 19:26Speaker 1: that it just made everything work. And when Dorsch also
- 19:30Speaker 1: doubled up with Brissette to get him to like twenty
- 19:32Speaker 1: six or whatever, it like really helped both of those two,
- 19:34Speaker 1: which bolstered everything else this week with the price increase,
- 19:38Speaker 1: I definitely think, and especially when we get to segment
- 19:40Speaker 1: two of how to leverage the calm and build, there
- 19:41Speaker 1: is a possibility people just there will be people that
- 19:44Speaker 1: play Brissette. He's gonna be really poppan, It's stillna be
- 19:46Speaker 1: popular to play all that. I'm just saying, I think
- 19:48Speaker 1: you could also just play Michael Wilson and McBride without
- 19:51Speaker 1: him this week and just hope that that combo pack
- 19:54Speaker 1: at that price tag gets you all those targets and
- 19:57Speaker 1: then they will He have the record for most ball
- 20:00Speaker 1: caught in the game again. No, seeing his jersey and
- 20:02Speaker 1: his ball and everything into the Hall of Fame already
- 20:04Speaker 1: is like, well, it's like it is true, it's a
- 20:06Speaker 1: definite thing. Got to give him credit for that, but
- 20:08Speaker 1: it's like it was in a huge loss and all
- 20:10Speaker 1: we care about from a DFS perspective is racking up
- 20:12Speaker 1: the points, so we'll take them. But this week, I
- 20:14Speaker 1: think you made a good point there, and I want
- 20:17Speaker 1: to talk about that when we get to the common build.
- 20:18Speaker 1: But before we get to the common build, let's just
- 20:21Speaker 1: round about real quick. You talked about golf ownership getting
- 20:25Speaker 1: up there in small field. I think him Brisset right, well,
- 20:28Speaker 1: anything else at quarterback just quick mentions.
- 20:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we'll probably talk more about this. But
- 20:37Speaker 2: the Giants, I'm very interested in Jameis Winston. It's almost
- 20:42Speaker 2: like the exact same script as you know Arizona last week.
- 20:46Speaker 2: It's like we're we're almost projecting garbage time production from
- 20:51Speaker 2: Jamis swist Well, Jameis Winston and this passing game. I
- 20:54Speaker 2: love Slayton again. Two weeks ago, I was all over
- 20:58Speaker 2: that Giants offense again, Chicago Dark Slayton. THEO Johnson probably
- 21:04Speaker 2: would have been the GPP winner that week at Dorton,
- 21:07Speaker 2: not gotten hurt, Dart would have gotten up to like
- 21:09Speaker 2: thirty five. Slayton was certainly going over one hundred. THEO
- 21:12Speaker 2: Johnson might have gone to the hundred. Dard bonus. And
- 21:15Speaker 2: now we get gunslinger Jameis Winston. He's not going to
- 21:17Speaker 2: give you what Dark gave you on the ground, but
- 21:20Speaker 2: he can rack up fantasy production just through volume alone
- 21:24Speaker 2: with these with these pass catchers now, and you know
- 21:28Speaker 2: Detroit they play so much single coverage, so those guys
- 21:31Speaker 2: are going to have opportunities to just win one on
- 21:33Speaker 2: one throughout the game. So I really like that option.
- 21:36Speaker 2: And then Kitleb Williams also I have a ton of
- 21:39Speaker 2: interest in, and that's almost just like a pure volume thing.
- 21:41Speaker 2: Pittsburgh continues to boost opponent play volume more than any
- 21:44Speaker 2: other team in the league, allowing sixty eight and a
- 21:46Speaker 2: half place per game. No one else is allowing even
- 21:49Speaker 2: sixty six. No offense is running sixty six place per game.
- 21:53Speaker 2: They're allowing sixty eight and a half per game. So
- 21:55Speaker 2: this is already an offense that as above average play
- 21:58Speaker 2: volume inago. So I think Kaylea Williams could really do
- 22:02Speaker 2: well this week. Roma Dune say, I think it's going
- 22:03Speaker 2: to be under own DK Metcalf on your own on
- 22:05Speaker 2: the on the breedback, So I have interest there and
- 22:08Speaker 2: other than that, like it is another week where quarterback
- 22:11Speaker 2: ownership is pretty spread out. I think as I mentioned
- 22:14Speaker 2: Golf gonna lead the way for us. Brissette is going
- 22:17Speaker 2: to be up there because people still have interest in
- 22:18Speaker 2: McBride and Wilson a little bit in dors. I think
- 22:22Speaker 2: Kurt's Mahomes and may are going to be like the
- 22:24Speaker 2: next tier of ownership. But it wouldn't surprise me if
- 22:27Speaker 2: any of those guys either become a little bit more
- 22:29Speaker 2: popular or people just say no, the Stack as a
- 22:32Speaker 2: whole is either too hard to predict or too expensive,
- 22:34Speaker 2: and they end up a little bit lower on. But
- 22:36Speaker 2: it's it's a week where you can pretty much play
- 22:39Speaker 2: whatever quarterback whenever Stack you feel strongly about, because outside
- 22:43Speaker 2: of Goff and Brissette, the quarterbacks aren't going to be
- 22:46Speaker 2: too owned, and the receiving options that you're bearing with
- 22:48Speaker 2: them aren't going to be too owned.
- 22:50Speaker 1: Agreed, I feel similar running back. I'll run through quick there.
- 22:53Speaker 1: Just the Brown Wilson stuff we talked about, Gibbs obviously
- 22:55Speaker 1: up in the mix as well. After that, it kind
- 22:57Speaker 1: of drops off a little bit elsewhere. We got Michael Wilson,
- 23:01Speaker 1: you talked about the two Detroit guys, Jamison, williams Amanross
- 23:04Speaker 1: Saint Brown, and then maybe it's like you said, like
- 23:07Speaker 1: t Higgins, little steam, maybe Robinson with the Detroit stack
- 23:12Speaker 1: to be able to run it back with all this
- 23:14Speaker 1: and this is just talking about who is the chalk,
- 23:16Speaker 1: which then leads to the common build in signal jury,
- 23:18Speaker 1: like if people land on a Detroit lineup and it's
- 23:21Speaker 1: golf with Gibbs with Jameison Williams because they changed their
- 23:24Speaker 1: mind on a Monro to make everything fit, well, you
- 23:28Speaker 1: can still fit Chase Brown, Emmanuel Wilson and Robinson in
- 23:32Speaker 1: there and maybe still get to McBride or whatever. Right,
- 23:34Speaker 1: that's where sort of the common build comes together. Tight end,
- 23:37Speaker 1: no surprise, it's a McBride and then a large gap
- 23:40Speaker 1: And then did you have any comments at defense? Real quick?
- 23:43Speaker 1: We brought this up. But it's funny the last you know,
- 23:45Speaker 1: two to three weeks at least, and the main slate
- 23:48Speaker 1: at least, you know for sure we've seen these leverage
- 23:51Speaker 1: defenses really come into play where it's like they weren't
- 23:54Speaker 1: on the chalk this they're on the defense instead, or
- 23:57Speaker 1: like triple leveraging and almost in the sense of like
- 23:59Speaker 1: everyone's on the cheap shoc D I'm on the defense
- 24:03Speaker 1: that I'm on a low price D where most are
- 24:05Speaker 1: on a high price D. I'm not on the chockiest
- 24:07Speaker 1: low price D, and I also have the low price D.
- 24:10Speaker 1: That's against somebody nobody's playing like Cleveland last week against Baltimore,
- 24:14Speaker 1: when everyone was if they were cheap, they were on Tennessee,
- 24:17Speaker 1: but the majority were up in the higher range on
- 24:19Speaker 1: a more expensive defense. He kind of flipped the build
- 24:21Speaker 1: three ways at that point.
- 24:23Speaker 2: So that was actually like one of the things that
- 24:25Speaker 2: I really noticed about last week's slay. Tennessee got up
- 24:28Speaker 2: to thirty five percent in single entries and in high
- 24:30Speaker 2: stakes contests. That's insane, And what it shows us is
- 24:33Speaker 2: that people are have really gotten to a point where
- 24:36Speaker 2: they just say, I'm done paying for defense. I want
- 24:40Speaker 2: the cheapest viable defense possible. And because you know, no
- 24:45Speaker 2: one is so aggressively projecting ownership on those chief defenses,
- 24:50Speaker 2: all the sims are saying, yeah, this is a totally
- 24:52Speaker 2: viable way to go about your defensive selection, and so
- 24:56Speaker 2: people just kind of load up on that. This week,
- 24:58Speaker 2: I think there are two defenses we could see that
- 25:00Speaker 2: kind of steam on New Orleans going up against the
- 25:03Speaker 2: haveless Kirk Cousins without Drake London I think they could
- 25:07Speaker 2: end up extremely popular. And then also Cleveland going up
- 25:09Speaker 2: against Gino Smith and that offensive line could end up
- 25:13Speaker 2: really popular. So I think if I'm choosing either of
- 25:17Speaker 2: those two, it would be Cleveland because they are a
- 25:20Speaker 2: really good defense, they do have a really good pass rush,
- 25:22Speaker 2: and they're playing against a quarterback who should be under
- 25:25Speaker 2: pressure a ton. Whereas the Saints, It's like, even if
- 25:30Speaker 2: Atlanta struggles, I don't see them racking up the fantasy
- 25:34Speaker 2: points as well. I don't see them getting a bunch
- 25:36Speaker 2: of sacks and creating a bunch of turnovers. I think
- 25:39Speaker 2: it would be more like Atlanta tries to run the ball,
- 25:41Speaker 2: they can't pick up the first down, and then Kirk
- 25:43Speaker 2: Cousins can't complete the third down so they have to
- 25:45Speaker 2: punt type thing, where at least with the Chalky Browns
- 25:50Speaker 2: you expect to get a lot of that easy fantasy
- 25:54Speaker 2: production from them. So other than that, like, I've actually
- 25:58Speaker 2: paid up a lot of at defense here and it
- 26:00Speaker 2: has worked pretty well because when you're paying up, you're
- 26:03Speaker 2: playing into much much, much higher probability situations. And there
- 26:09Speaker 2: are some really bad quarterbacks in this league. There's some
- 26:11Speaker 2: really bad offenses, really bad play callers where they almost
- 26:14Speaker 2: like don't even have a chance before the game starts
- 26:16Speaker 2: to have a lot of success. So I've had success
- 26:19Speaker 2: paying up a defense, and obviously the most expensive defense
- 26:22Speaker 2: is like seventeen hundred more than the cheapest or fifteen
- 26:26Speaker 2: hundred more than the chalk, So it's really not that
- 26:29Speaker 2: price prohibitive. If you pay up a defense, it's probably
- 26:31Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do against.
- 26:32Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say this. I know some sites are
- 26:34Speaker 1: still showing like Vegas is going to be higher than Cleveland.
- 26:38Speaker 1: It's what you said though, because it's cheap and people
- 26:40Speaker 1: will want that money. And it's all correlated to remember this.
- 26:42Speaker 1: So we we're gonna get to how to leverage the
- 26:43Speaker 1: common build in a second. But this is what creates
- 26:46Speaker 1: the common build for those that don't put it together.
- 26:48Speaker 1: Is like when you go a manra on Jamison Williams
- 26:50Speaker 1: and Gibbs and Chase Brown and nam Nelson and one
- 26:53Speaker 1: of Brissett or golf likely you know, setting it up
- 26:55Speaker 1: that way Michael Wilson McBride and build a bunch of
- 26:57Speaker 1: lineups with all those guys together and whatever, it's always
- 27:01Speaker 1: gonna be beneficial just to get the cheaper d in there,
- 27:03Speaker 1: and I think it was starting the week with the Saints,
- 27:06Speaker 1: but I think it's moved to Cleveland, and I think
- 27:09Speaker 1: that's because it's the people. Remember Miles Garrett with all
- 27:11Speaker 1: the sacks. They saw how bad Gino got crushed, and
- 27:14Speaker 1: they're like, Oh, that's gonna be easy. I'll just go
- 27:16Speaker 1: there and it could work. I'm just saying that's the
- 27:18Speaker 1: noticeable piece where I think a lot of thought it
- 27:20Speaker 1: was gonna be Vegas, but most people aren't paying up.
- 27:23Speaker 1: But if they are paying up, it's Vegas and Seattle.
- 27:26Speaker 1: And that's what's interesting because then you look for multiple
- 27:28Speaker 1: different concepts. And one that stood out to me was
- 27:31Speaker 1: what we talked about earlier with the Patriots. If anyone's
- 27:34Speaker 1: going up there, they're going to Vegas below or to
- 27:37Speaker 1: Seahawks above. I get it. But if you're not gonna
- 27:40Speaker 1: be on Chase Brown or any Sincy pieces, you could
- 27:42Speaker 1: see that play out that way. And then the other
- 27:44Speaker 1: one is the opposite side of the cheapest D that's
- 27:47Speaker 1: popular this week. You can get cheaper defenses, like the
- 27:50Speaker 1: Bengals are twenty two hundred, the Giants are twenty one.
- 27:54Speaker 1: But I think the other one, the one that we
- 27:55Speaker 1: talked about with the Saints that's popular is the opposite
- 27:58Speaker 1: side in the fouls at thirty four hundred, because again
- 28:02Speaker 1: it's just a matter of it's the opposite side of that,
- 28:05Speaker 1: and it's right below you see how it kind of
- 28:07Speaker 1: like when you look from a leverage perspective and people say, again,
- 28:10Speaker 1: the whole world is like they suck. Their defense is horrible.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Why would you ever play them? I literally don't care.
- 28:15Speaker 1: I talk with it all the time. It has nothing
- 28:16Speaker 1: to do with that. It's all about the game. If
- 28:19Speaker 1: the other cheap D is New Orleans and I'm not
- 28:22Speaker 1: going to the other cheap D that's also popular in
- 28:24Speaker 1: the Browns, then maybe I go up. But when you
- 28:27Speaker 1: go up, one of the most popular expensive defenses is
- 28:29Speaker 1: the Raiders, So right below them is the falcons. You
- 28:32Speaker 1: see how that works and how that all goes together.
- 28:34Speaker 1: That's one of the key components. So if you ever
- 28:37Speaker 1: land there or see that, I just put a video
- 28:39Speaker 1: out a clip yesterday on my ex at Totag and Tamba.
- 28:42Speaker 1: When you see with Mayo we're talking, I give him
- 28:45Speaker 1: shit like I tease him. He's one of my best buddies.
- 28:47Speaker 1: It's like, man, we don't need to plug the defense
- 28:49Speaker 1: and yet because we need to see what we actually
- 28:51Speaker 1: want in the lineup. This really pertains to single entry
- 28:54Speaker 1: and handbuilds, and once you put the lineup together, the
- 28:58Speaker 1: defense can be anything, but it can also have a
- 29:00Speaker 1: huge advantage or make a lot of sense in what
- 29:03Speaker 1: you're building. You're like, oh shit, I didn't get Gibbs
- 29:06Speaker 1: or any of these Detroit guys in here, but I
- 29:08Speaker 1: landed on twenty one hundred and I got the Giants. Well,
- 29:11Speaker 1: maybe that slows it down. Maybe they get you eight,
- 29:13Speaker 1: but the biggest one, the best one, only gets you
- 29:15Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen, and that eight plays really well at
- 29:18Speaker 1: twenty one hundred. You just have no clue how it's
- 29:21Speaker 1: gonna actually play out. But you can build accordingly anything
- 29:23Speaker 1: else you want to add on defense, as Alex, if not,
- 29:26Speaker 1: let's talk about how to leverage the common build, because
- 29:28Speaker 1: there's there's definitely a common build here that we're seeing.
- 29:32Speaker 2: Yeah, I think let's let's just go to the common build.
- 29:34Speaker 2: And where do you want to start here just kind
- 29:37Speaker 2: of talking about the Detroit game.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I just want to see and I know
- 29:41Speaker 1: we don't always do this, and I don't want to
- 29:43Speaker 1: put like the whole thing together just because the you know,
- 29:45Speaker 1: the restrictions and all that type of I just want
- 29:47Speaker 1: to see if, like if we do the Chase Brown
- 29:49Speaker 1: with Emmanuel Wilson McBride, I'm just gonna try and plug
- 29:52Speaker 1: in like a few I'm definitely gonna go with your
- 29:54Speaker 1: Jamison Williams piece. I think that's pretty common. I struggle
- 29:59Speaker 1: to think that more people get to a Manra then
- 30:02Speaker 1: Gibbs if they can't, you know what I mean, just
- 30:04Speaker 1: because Gibbs wide receivers where you're gonna have to make
- 30:07Speaker 1: up that money, and it's pretty tricky to see.
- 30:10Speaker 2: I guess, well, for one thing like that, that decision
- 30:14Speaker 2: is largely gonna be made by whether or not people
- 30:16Speaker 2: have golf in the lineup. If they have golf, they're
- 30:19Speaker 2: gonna pick Amana. If they don't have golf, they're gonna say, Okay,
- 30:21Speaker 2: well I want them running the ball in from forty
- 30:24Speaker 2: yards out, then so let me go with Gibbs.
- 30:26Speaker 1: That's what I was trying to find here, as you
- 30:28Speaker 1: said it, and it's pretty close to what you would
- 30:31Speaker 1: expect to see. There's like a cash tournament build that
- 30:34Speaker 1: you can get to. I won't give it all, but
- 30:35Speaker 1: it essentially gets you Detroit guys, Arizona guys, Chase Brown, Wilson,
- 30:41Speaker 1: and the concept being it's what you just said, It
- 30:44Speaker 1: is interesting to look at this type of stuff to
- 30:46Speaker 1: try and figure it out because I think more doo
- 30:47Speaker 1: Lean Brissett still just because if you have Wilson and
- 30:51Speaker 1: McBride for cheaper, it allows you to still get your
- 30:54Speaker 1: Detroit pieces in there. So I don't know, give me
- 30:56Speaker 1: your thoughts on it and how you want to roll
- 30:58Speaker 1: with it, but I think that's definitely just something I'm
- 30:59Speaker 1: looking at quickly. Is it does look to be the
- 31:02Speaker 1: Brussette Wilson McBride stuff and then get your Detroit guys in,
- 31:06Speaker 1: get your chalk running backs in and then land on
- 31:08Speaker 1: one of those cheaper defenses. That's kind of how I
- 31:10Speaker 1: see it.
- 31:11Speaker 2: Interesting. So I see it the other way where I think,
- 31:16Speaker 2: I think people are gonna end up playing more golf
- 31:18Speaker 2: than they play Brissette for two reasons. The first being
- 31:23Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are gonna think that
- 31:25Speaker 2: that's the more contrarian route, that by going to golf,
- 31:29Speaker 2: they're getting away from the chalk And so I'm actually
- 31:31Speaker 2: kind of i'd almost have the urge to flip our
- 31:36Speaker 2: ownership over at ftn IF, I saw people kind of
- 31:40Speaker 2: catching on around the industry and putting golf up ahead,
- 31:43Speaker 2: because I think part of the golf steam is going
- 31:45Speaker 2: to be this like collective thought of, Oh, I'm playing
- 31:48Speaker 2: the sneaky guy like he's he shouldn't be ten percent,
- 31:51Speaker 2: and this is gonna be awesome that I get go
- 31:52Speaker 2: off at ten percent. Oops, he's twenty percent, oops, he's
- 31:55Speaker 2: eighteen percent. Whatever it ends up being right. So I
- 31:58Speaker 2: think I think it's gonna be golf for that reason.
- 32:01Speaker 2: And then number two, people are are going to be
- 32:04Speaker 2: excited to play a Giants bringback as a one off
- 32:07Speaker 2: with Jamis Winston in catchup mode. I don't think they're
- 32:10Speaker 2: going to be super excited about playing a Jacksonville guy.
- 32:15Speaker 2: And particularly like again, we have seen Arizona frush because
- 32:21Speaker 2: they get in these really bad game scripts and they
- 32:24Speaker 2: have to play catchup, and so there's been like this
- 32:27Speaker 2: perfect kind of game stack opportunity with these Arizona games. Honestly,
- 32:34Speaker 2: it's like, why I never want to play an offense
- 32:38Speaker 2: as chalky as Arizona was last week. But and when
- 32:40Speaker 2: I looked back at last week. One of the reasons
- 32:43Speaker 2: why I do beat myself up a little bit for
- 32:45Speaker 2: not giving more consideration to Arizona is because I was
- 32:48Speaker 2: so confident in San Francisco, and so of course that
- 32:52Speaker 2: that opportunity for the bringback was for you know, all
- 32:54Speaker 2: that garbageine production was there. Again, I don't see that
- 32:57Speaker 2: this week with Jacksonville. And I don't think that anybody
- 33:00Speaker 2: is going to look at that Jacksonville offense and say, oh, yeah,
- 33:02Speaker 2: this is a great spot for them to build a
- 33:04Speaker 2: big lead through this guy. So I'll play this guy
- 33:07Speaker 2: and then my Arizona stack can catch up. So I
- 33:09Speaker 2: just don't see people being as excited about that game
- 33:12Speaker 2: environment as a whole as they are with Detroit. So
- 33:14Speaker 2: I think it is going to be Detroit that ends
- 33:16Speaker 2: up really popular. And then if you have Golf Saint Brown,
- 33:22Speaker 2: maybe Gibbs as well, but certainly Jamis and Williams, you're
- 33:27Speaker 2: starting with a pretty expensive stack, and so I think
- 33:30Speaker 2: like one of the easy ways to leverage that build
- 33:32Speaker 2: is to say, Okay, I will make the same bet
- 33:35Speaker 2: on this game environment, but I'm gonna flip it to
- 33:38Speaker 2: a Jamis Winston double stack. I can still get Gibbs
- 33:41Speaker 2: and Jamison or Saint Brown and David Montgomery, Like any
- 33:45Speaker 2: combination that you want can still be really really high
- 33:47Speaker 2: on Detroit. But you're saying, Detroit ceiling is even higher
- 33:52Speaker 2: if Jamis and the Giants can push them, And if
- 33:55Speaker 2: Jamison the Giants can push them, I know it's coming
- 33:58Speaker 2: through the air with a forty six dollar Jameis Winston
- 34:01Speaker 2: and really really cheap pass catchers. You know, Slaton's forty
- 34:04Speaker 2: five hundred deo, Johnson's forty one hundred Wandal was under
- 34:07Speaker 2: six thousand, So kind of no matter who you go
- 34:10Speaker 2: to on that giant side, it's going to be a
- 34:12Speaker 2: lot cheaper. So now you're saying, all right, I'm making
- 34:14Speaker 2: the same bet on the game environment, but because I'm
- 34:17Speaker 2: going to the giant side, I can now get an
- 34:18Speaker 2: additional stud elsewhere, Like maybe it's JSN, maybe it's the
- 34:22Speaker 2: Trey McBride one off that otherwise would be really to fit,
- 34:26Speaker 2: would be really tough to fit with that Detroit stack.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Yeah, and a couple things I'll add because we're talking
- 34:30Speaker 1: about how to leverage the common but I like how
- 34:32Speaker 1: to leverage it is like I said earlierf you go
- 34:33Speaker 1: Montgomery and the Detroit d or to your point, you go,
- 34:36Speaker 1: the jamis side one side note and this is again
- 34:39Speaker 1: more of a no ball than no DFS thing, but
- 34:41Speaker 1: just to apply and think about this when you are
- 34:43Speaker 1: building your lineups, like every game stack is different, and
- 34:46Speaker 1: that's this is the segment we talk about that and
- 34:48Speaker 1: the reason I bring it up. I had a good
- 34:49Speaker 1: example I talked with some some folks yesterday on was like,
- 34:53Speaker 1: Detroit does not necessarily need anybody to show up from
- 34:56Speaker 1: the other side for Dan Campbell, especially after in a
- 34:59Speaker 1: bounced back spot, to just say I'm gonna We're gonna
- 35:00Speaker 1: go out and drop fifty on them and score as
- 35:02Speaker 1: many as we possibly can and just show we're back
- 35:04Speaker 1: and we're good, and that's what we do. They don't
- 35:07Speaker 1: need someone to push them. But it'd be like you said,
- 35:09Speaker 1: it helps for sure, it gets to those ceilings. It
- 35:11Speaker 1: keeps their guys in the game. Like just depend on
- 35:14Speaker 1: all those different factors. It's hard to really frame it up,
- 35:16Speaker 1: but on like something like Jalen hurts your own team
- 35:21Speaker 1: and you know this, they are content running the ball,
- 35:24Speaker 1: short passes over the middle, et cetera, et cetera. So
- 35:28Speaker 1: how would you make them work is you need Dallas
- 35:31Speaker 1: to show up because that's actually gonna you cannot play
- 35:33Speaker 1: that game any longer because now you have to come
- 35:36Speaker 1: at us and get your points back, and so that
- 35:38Speaker 1: would be a way to see that stack work. So
- 35:40Speaker 1: I think that's kind of important to remember and chat
- 35:43Speaker 1: more about that throughout. But I think the key here,
- 35:46Speaker 1: do you still think let me ask you it this way? Then,
- 35:49Speaker 1: like Michael Wilson and McBride both just pop off the
- 35:51Speaker 1: page when you're building it out, and I'm just looking
- 35:54Speaker 1: at building the common build. Once you put a Chase
- 35:57Speaker 1: Brown of Wilson, even a Jamison Williams, I don't I
- 36:00Speaker 1: think people are as scared to land on that Jacksonville
- 36:02Speaker 1: guy because at the end of the day, Brian Thomas
- 36:04Speaker 1: Junior is out. People saw Myers get into the mix
- 36:08Speaker 1: last week and think he's part of it. Now he fits.
- 36:10Speaker 1: You got guys like Parker Washington who were like a
- 36:13Speaker 1: bit of a DFS darling since Brian Thomas has been
- 36:15Speaker 1: out and he's had some games. So I don't know
- 36:18Speaker 1: how it plays out, but I think I think it'll
- 36:19Speaker 1: be close either way. So it's not really like an
- 36:21Speaker 1: argument back and forth they're just saying, like, once you
- 36:24Speaker 1: get to the build, I don't know anyone that's really
- 36:26Speaker 1: focused on like Robinson versus Slayton versus that. Besides when
- 36:30Speaker 1: we're full stacking the game, because that is actually going
- 36:33Speaker 1: to be like what do you have Robinson's ownership even
- 36:35Speaker 1: coming in at because Slayton's won't be anywhere. It's more
- 36:38Speaker 1: about what you think Robinson comes in at.
- 36:40Speaker 2: Yeah, like sixteen seventeen percent with a chance to get
- 36:42Speaker 2: up to like twenty twenty five if if people really
- 36:46Speaker 2: really played the golf side, because you know, it's like
- 36:49Speaker 2: those are going to be really kind of connected, and
- 36:51Speaker 2: they might they honestly might move like perfectly together because
- 36:54Speaker 2: the more people who have golf, the more people are
- 36:57Speaker 2: going to want a giant, and Wandell is kind of
- 37:01Speaker 2: the giant to play. So I think we actually have
- 37:03Speaker 2: them within a percentage point of each other, and I
- 37:05Speaker 2: think they've probably moved together to where if we're five
- 37:07Speaker 2: percentage points high on golf, we might be five percentage
- 37:10Speaker 2: points high on Wandale. If Golf ends up twenty five percent,
- 37:13Speaker 2: one Dale could end up twenty five percent. So that's
- 37:16Speaker 2: like one of my favorite ways to kind of think
- 37:18Speaker 2: about ownership is how does one guy's ownership affect the other,
- 37:21Speaker 2: And certainly I think those guys are as correlated as
- 37:23Speaker 2: in very correlated.
- 37:25Speaker 1: But I actually still have a side note on it
- 37:27Speaker 1: again that I kind of a little pushback as well.
- 37:28Speaker 1: I don't know if you have you simmed lineups to
- 37:30Speaker 1: look at that to see how they work out. Is
- 37:32Speaker 1: it pushing a giant in because I will say this
- 37:35Speaker 1: the factor of slate dynamics. Once you put a Manra
- 37:39Speaker 1: and Jamison in, not many people are running four wide
- 37:41Speaker 1: receiver lineups, and most people are wanting Wilson for less
- 37:46Speaker 1: than one Dale. So it still affects it from that
- 37:48Speaker 1: perspective as well. If you're going with the golf stacks
- 37:51Speaker 1: that include both wide receivers, it makes a little bit
- 37:54Speaker 1: tricky to fit one Dale in. And like I said,
- 37:56Speaker 1: if Onedale gets up to that, it won't surprise me.
- 37:58Speaker 1: Like the fifteen percent is kind of I got him
- 38:00Speaker 1: in single entry, but I don't see Slayton getting moved
- 38:04Speaker 1: up there. I don't see like anybody else. Really, my
- 38:06Speaker 1: guy Hodgens, who I liked last week, I don't see
- 38:08Speaker 1: him getting into the mix. So I don't know It's interesting.
- 38:11Speaker 1: Usually though, you don't need Like I said, with Detroit,
- 38:13Speaker 1: you definitely don't need the run back. And I wonder
- 38:15Speaker 1: if people you'll catch onto that and say I'm just
- 38:18Speaker 1: gonna play my two wide receivers, get Michael Wilson and
- 38:20Speaker 1: hope that he gets eight catches for one hundred instead
- 38:23Speaker 1: of fifteen for one to eighty five and still be happy. Yes.
- 38:27Speaker 2: I mean, what I have seen in the in the
- 38:30Speaker 2: builds that I've run so far is that the SAMs
- 38:33Speaker 2: very much still prefer a bringback from the Giants, but
- 38:37Speaker 2: they prefer Slaton or Theo Johnson to Wandeale Robinson. I
- 38:40Speaker 2: think the field just kind of by default is going
- 38:42Speaker 2: to pick Wandell more often. And part of it too,
- 38:47Speaker 2: by the way, is like it's think about the way
- 38:49Speaker 2: that they're producing. Right, Like you mentioned, Detroit doesn't need
- 38:51Speaker 2: to be pushed, So why does it bring back potentially
- 38:54Speaker 2: help them because the opponent can help speed up the game,
- 38:57Speaker 2: they can help get the ball right back to Detroit.
- 39:00Speaker 2: Who's more likely to do that, Darius Sling, He's the
- 39:02Speaker 2: big play guy. Wandale is the you know he gets
- 39:04Speaker 2: there because he caught ten balls and averaged eight yards perception, right,
- 39:08Speaker 2: So he's much less likely to push the game in
- 39:12Speaker 2: a way that helps Detroit, where as Slayton and even
- 39:14Speaker 2: THEO Johnson, THEO Johnson, you know, more touchd and equity
- 39:17Speaker 2: things like that, can't can help a little bit more
- 39:19Speaker 2: in that way as well.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I came in with my leverage lane ready, and
- 39:24Speaker 1: now I might, for the first time ever change it
- 39:27Speaker 1: on the show because it's like, yeah, there's I mean,
- 39:29Speaker 1: it's just whatever, I'll say it now, and it's not
- 39:30Speaker 1: really because I'll stick with my original. But the whole
- 39:34Speaker 1: world told me Jamis was throwing six interceptions last week
- 39:37Speaker 1: and one of the defense against him, and this is
- 39:39Speaker 1: a prime spot. And it's like, you know, nobody wants
- 39:43Speaker 1: Detroit this week. If they're going up, it's gonna be.
- 39:45Speaker 1: I can get to the Seahawks, I can play the Raiders,
- 39:49Speaker 1: I can do all this stuff. Jamis didn't throw me
- 39:51Speaker 1: six picks last week, so he must be good again
- 39:53Speaker 1: or something, or we won't get that this week. He
- 39:55Speaker 1: could just as easily speed up the game that way.
- 39:58Speaker 1: I also think, like I said, I really like my
- 40:00Speaker 1: pairing there with Montgomery, and I've been pretty good on
- 40:02Speaker 1: these running back spots lately of the Gibbs spot and
- 40:05Speaker 1: then into the Viijon spot and everyone telling me why
- 40:08Speaker 1: it can't happen on all these places, and then it's good.
- 40:10Speaker 1: It's been good, So don't toot my own arm too much.
- 40:12Speaker 1: But I will say on those ones, it's just sometimes
- 40:15Speaker 1: as the season goes on, like like Kyle said earlier,
- 40:18Speaker 1: go collect it's like so it's not that everybody's lazy,
- 40:20Speaker 1: it's just sometimes it's like, well this it just gets
- 40:23Speaker 1: auto assumed, like what happened last week means it's gonna
- 40:25Speaker 1: happen this week, or what didn't happen last week means
- 40:28Speaker 1: it can't happen this week, or matchups and you name
- 40:30Speaker 1: all this shit. It's like, listen, it's DFS, it's football,
- 40:34Speaker 1: it's you'll put it all together. Anything can happen playing
- 40:37Speaker 1: this game too long. Definitely think it's an interesting spot here,
- 40:39Speaker 1: and I really like thinking about ways to attack it.
- 40:42Speaker 1: One thing that's certain, and I talk about this all
- 40:44Speaker 1: the time, Alex, and you've hit on a bunch of
- 40:45Speaker 1: reading throughout this show, is you really have to consider
- 40:49Speaker 1: these spots, even if it seems like you're overthinking it
- 40:52Speaker 1: or or talking about them too much or digging into
- 40:55Speaker 1: every possible angle you should. Detroit is implied to put
- 40:59Speaker 1: up thirty points at home, and I think last time
- 41:02Speaker 1: we saw that it was thirty and a half and
- 41:03Speaker 1: they had thirty six at the half. So it's like
- 41:06Speaker 1: these team totals don't just show up for no reason
- 41:08Speaker 1: or you know, randomly, it's you really do have to
- 41:11Speaker 1: be thinking of all the angles on these spots, and
- 41:14Speaker 1: if it's picking up the steam that we know it is,
- 41:16Speaker 1: we do have to talk a lot about it and
- 41:18Speaker 1: think how we can play it differently. And I like
- 41:19Speaker 1: your your jamis call, because if you like Gibbs and
- 41:23Speaker 1: you say, no matter what, I'm still in on Gibbs
- 41:24Speaker 1: or no matter what I'm still in on James and Williams,
- 41:27Speaker 1: one of the best ways to afford them both and
- 41:30Speaker 1: get really different than what everybody else has without getting
- 41:33Speaker 1: stupid is to play the other side of it and
- 41:35Speaker 1: figure out what a jamis. Robinson Slayton lineup looks like
- 41:39Speaker 1: that has those two in it or something like that.
- 41:41Speaker 1: It's not gonna be for the faint of heart because
- 41:42Speaker 1: people don't want to go there, but it is an
- 41:44Speaker 1: example of how you could definitely definitely leverage the COmON
- 41:48Speaker 1: build because then it wouldn't really matter if you still
- 41:50Speaker 1: think Chase Brown is the man you can get away
- 41:52Speaker 1: with them in that lineup. I mean just a side
- 41:55Speaker 1: note and a concept. I'll kick it right too, so
- 41:56Speaker 1: I don't just rant on. But do you know, do
- 42:00Speaker 1: you ever notice that, like sometimes when somebody wants to
- 42:02Speaker 1: play contrarian, they sort of ride the edge of that,
- 42:06Speaker 1: like they get contrarian, but then because they're already contrarian,
- 42:10Speaker 1: instead of like tightening things back up, they just go
- 42:12Speaker 1: completely off the rails further. Like do you do you
- 42:15Speaker 1: notice that a lot with players where it's like they'll
- 42:17Speaker 1: already be outside the lines a little bit, but it's
- 42:20Speaker 1: a good reason. But then they just say, if I'm
- 42:22Speaker 1: doing that, I may as well double or triple down
- 42:24Speaker 1: on it, And then they wonder why they didn't get
- 42:26Speaker 1: a sweat out of it after they predicted something so
- 42:28Speaker 1: unique in Out of the Gates.
- 42:30Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's that's something that I found a lot
- 42:32Speaker 2: in the like conditional ownership stuff that I've looked at
- 42:34Speaker 2: a lot this year and talked about in my discord,
- 42:36Speaker 2: where especially at the running back position, it's like people
- 42:39Speaker 2: people are very rarely kind of choosing their favorite chalk.
- 42:42Speaker 2: They're either embracing all of the running back chalk or
- 42:45Speaker 2: they're fading all of the running back chalk. It's like
- 42:47Speaker 2: very very binary in that way, where they're they're either
- 42:50Speaker 2: accepting of it or it's like it's they're allergic to it,
- 42:53Speaker 2: and then under no circumstance they're going to play any
- 42:55Speaker 2: any chalky running backs. Yeah, I think that's that's a
- 42:58Speaker 2: good point. Back to Detroit for a second. You mentioned
- 43:02Speaker 2: that we had like a similar situation a couple of
- 43:03Speaker 2: weeks ago. It was against Washington, a very very similar matchup,
- 43:09Speaker 2: similar you know, game environment, similar implied total. The difference
- 43:14Speaker 2: to me is that week we got a ten percent
- 43:18Speaker 2: Jamier Gibbs for no reason. We played Gibbs and he
- 43:20Speaker 2: went off for over forty Fantasy points. Like I wish
- 43:22Speaker 2: he was that simple again. I wish we could just
- 43:24Speaker 2: say Amarra and Jamison Williams are going to be the
- 43:27Speaker 2: chalk of the slate, Gibbs is going to be under owned.
- 43:30Speaker 2: Let's just play Gibbs and hope he does all the work. Again,
- 43:33Speaker 2: but I really kind of like your Montgomery call because
- 43:36Speaker 2: we he will be around ten percent, maybe even less.
- 43:40Speaker 2: But I think we're starting to get a very kind
- 43:42Speaker 2: of clear picture of how Detroit wants to view this backfield.
- 43:46Speaker 2: And I think it's very similar to the way that
- 43:47Speaker 2: Atlanta uses their backfield, where Algier's role is significantly more involved,
- 43:54Speaker 2: and it's a much better role in games where they're
- 43:57Speaker 2: kind of controlling the game. Strip the control rolling the game,
- 44:01Speaker 2: they're controlling possession, and they can really work those guys
- 44:03Speaker 2: in and out. And I think we're seeing the same
- 44:06Speaker 2: with Gibbs. Like you know, Montgomery had a much lesser
- 44:08Speaker 2: role last week in large part because they needed the
- 44:12Speaker 2: Gibbs playmaking in the passing game. They needed him on
- 44:15Speaker 2: the field because explosive plays were their only chance of success.
- 44:18Speaker 2: They knew they weren't going to beat Philly through success
- 44:22Speaker 2: right alone. They had to get those explosives, and Gibbs
- 44:24Speaker 2: us so much more likely to be that guy against
- 44:27Speaker 2: against New York, they do have a chance for that
- 44:30Speaker 2: more sustained success. The only other thing there is, like
- 44:34Speaker 2: remember that Minnesota game, Gibbs was kind of played off
- 44:37Speaker 2: the field because of all those elaborate blitz packages that
- 44:40Speaker 2: Minnesota threw their way. The Giants get pressure but they
- 44:42Speaker 2: don't blitz a ton, and obviously those blitzer are not
- 44:46Speaker 2: as elaborate as blind Brian Flores is. So we I
- 44:50Speaker 2: think we have reason to play both of these running backs,
- 44:52Speaker 2: not necessarily together. But if you like Gibbs, by all means,
- 44:55Speaker 2: you can play him. If you like Montgomery, by all
- 44:57Speaker 2: means you can play him. And again, like I back
- 45:00Speaker 2: to one of the first things I said here was
- 45:02Speaker 2: I think to have success on this lately, we have
- 45:04Speaker 2: to get this Detroit game correct. And so I'm really
- 45:08Speaker 2: going to kind of give consideration to any combinations of
- 45:11Speaker 2: these guys, including if I decide to go elsewhere with
- 45:16Speaker 2: my stack, like if I go to Chicago, for example,
- 45:18Speaker 2: I still after I figure out my Chicago stack, Like,
- 45:21Speaker 2: the very next thing that I'm going to try to
- 45:23Speaker 2: figure out is Okay, if that's my stack, then how
- 45:26Speaker 2: am I playing this Lion's game?
- 45:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to use that too. Just to talk
- 45:30Speaker 1: about another thing you sort of talked a lot about
- 45:33Speaker 1: on this show throughout the season so far, and it's
- 45:35Speaker 1: another just strategy piece, but also with mixing, contest selection
- 45:38Speaker 1: all of that, and I realized this morning when I
- 45:40Speaker 1: woke up, I should have better track of my own stuff.
- 45:42Speaker 1: But tomorrow is the one year anniversary of launching the
- 45:46Speaker 1: Mastermind Project over a ship of Nation, and you've helped
- 45:48Speaker 1: out with that and just a ton of people throughout
- 45:50Speaker 1: the way, So I appreciate that and just picking up
- 45:52Speaker 1: these tidbits of like strategy pieces and nuggets along the way.
- 45:56Speaker 1: And I really love your play a three max like
- 45:59Speaker 1: a single and what you said there is a key
- 46:02Speaker 1: component of like the goff or sorry, like the Gibbs
- 46:04Speaker 1: versus Montgomery thing. I'm playing both, not together but across
- 46:08Speaker 1: my portfolio. But this show is focused on single entry,
- 46:11Speaker 1: and you know, I do have some real consideration. It's
- 46:14Speaker 1: not going to be my leverage laim of that I
- 46:15Speaker 1: do have some consideration just saying Montgomery's the guy that
- 46:18Speaker 1: I want to plug in there because if I'm not
- 46:20Speaker 1: going to be on a Manra and Jamison Williams and
- 46:22Speaker 1: whatever else, and we'll get there later, but in that lineup,
- 46:25Speaker 1: in my my main single entry, then that's fine. But
- 46:27Speaker 1: I'm gonna want a piece of this game. And so
- 46:31Speaker 1: if you are playing a lot of people don't know
- 46:32Speaker 1: the concept or maybe they missed that show when you
- 46:34Speaker 1: talked about it. But if you're like, look, I love
- 46:36Speaker 1: this Detroit game, but I want a golf stack, I
- 46:39Speaker 1: want a Gibbs Peace, and I want a Montgomery Lions D.
- 46:42Speaker 1: But you feel good about the rest of your build,
- 46:45Speaker 1: you can definitely just play your three. If you play
- 46:47Speaker 1: one hundred dollars single entry every week, you could play
- 46:51Speaker 1: the twenty dollars three max. Make your three very similar variations.
- 46:55Speaker 1: Just try and get that right, and you're putting the
- 46:58Speaker 1: same stuff around it, so you're kind of landing on
- 47:00Speaker 1: the same build. If they all do good enough, they'll
- 47:02Speaker 1: all probably min cash. If they all do really well,
- 47:05Speaker 1: maybe one extends and finds the top and that's what
- 47:07Speaker 1: you're looking for. But you can play sixty dollars that way,
- 47:12Speaker 1: still pick one of them for your single life to say,
- 47:14Speaker 1: you know what, I've wanted all three of them to
- 47:16Speaker 1: cover my bases, but I want to also play this
- 47:19Speaker 1: one as if I was choosing a single and put
- 47:21Speaker 1: it in the fifty dollars that pays twenty five K.
- 47:23Speaker 1: It's not the one hundred K that the one hundred
- 47:25Speaker 1: dollars paid. But now you can win the twenty dollars
- 47:28Speaker 1: three max with it, and the fifty dollars you can
- 47:30Speaker 1: get all of it. The others can min cash all that,
- 47:32Speaker 1: but there's so few weeks in an NFL DFS season,
- 47:36Speaker 1: NFL season which we play DFS for however you want
- 47:38Speaker 1: to word it. But if you were close but didn't
- 47:41Speaker 1: get it right, you may not be close at all
- 47:44Speaker 1: for the next five, six weeks, seven weeks, whatever it is.
- 47:46Speaker 1: So it's like you kind of want to make sure
- 47:48Speaker 1: the weeks that you feel good about something or you
- 47:49Speaker 1: feel like that's your spot, that you should spread it out.
- 47:53Speaker 1: And that's only one hundred and ten dollars versus one
- 47:55Speaker 1: hundred that you're playing, and you still have opportunity for
- 47:59Speaker 1: twenty five kus regardless. So I really love that strategy
- 48:02Speaker 1: piece that you brought up. We cover all that stuff
- 48:04Speaker 1: in the Mastermind Project. We talk about it. You've got
- 48:07Speaker 1: your discord, we've got ship in nation, like all these factors.
- 48:10Speaker 1: But I think it's so much more important to focus
- 48:11Speaker 1: on that stuff and think about all of those factors
- 48:14Speaker 1: than always just wondering about who's the chalk d this week,
- 48:17Speaker 1: or who do I got to play? And is this
- 48:19Speaker 1: guy a good player a bad play? We really want
- 48:21Speaker 1: to hone in on that stuff, so let's move around here, Alex,
- 48:25Speaker 1: let's talk about some of these other game stacks. You've
- 48:27Speaker 1: mentioned the Bears spot and you've touched on it a
- 48:30Speaker 1: little in the DK side, and you know with DK
- 48:33Speaker 1: metcalf story on that side and other stuff. How do
- 48:35Speaker 1: you foresee yourself playing a game stack like this? Can
- 48:38Speaker 1: you just go Caleb Rome DK and shut it off?
- 48:42Speaker 1: Do you want to get somebody else in there, like
- 48:43Speaker 1: Luther Burden the third? What sort of your thought process
- 48:46Speaker 1: on this stack? Yeah?
- 48:47Speaker 2: They are basically two of the guys that I consider
- 48:51Speaker 2: adding to that. The first is Luthor Burden. His role
- 48:54Speaker 2: does seem to be growing, but like more importantly, when
- 48:57Speaker 2: he hits, it's gonna be the explosive play that really
- 49:00Speaker 2: really helps unlock the ceiling for Kayla Williams. So I
- 49:04Speaker 2: like that route. The other one would be Swift. Really
- 49:06Speaker 2: nice role Pittsburgh because they're boosting a point and play
- 49:09Speaker 2: volume so much. They've been a really good matchup for
- 49:11Speaker 2: running backs, and we know Swift has enough of a
- 49:14Speaker 2: role in the passing game where like that can that
- 49:17Speaker 2: can be really positively correlated where it's not just a
- 49:19Speaker 2: bet on the offense as a whole thriving, but we
- 49:21Speaker 2: could actually get the twenty yard touchdown screen pass or
- 49:25Speaker 2: you know, the choice route over the middle to Swift
- 49:28Speaker 2: for the touchdown. So I like that option as well.
- 49:33Speaker 2: We mentioned the fact that, like, we don't think the
- 49:34Speaker 2: running back is that strong this week. So if you're
- 49:37Speaker 2: getting let's say thirty from Kleb and twenty five from Rome,
- 49:42Speaker 2: twenty from Swift might be plenty plenty goods. So you're
- 49:45Speaker 2: still getting an added correlation. But if you're saying I
- 49:48Speaker 2: only have confidence in Rome among the pass catchers, then
- 49:50Speaker 2: maybe Swift is the better option there. Definitely bringing it
- 49:53Speaker 2: back with DK Metcalf. The really interesting thing for Metcalf,
- 49:56Speaker 2: and I think the reason why he's going to be
- 49:57Speaker 2: so under owned this week is because he's had a
- 50:00Speaker 2: of matchups where people think it's a good matchup for him.
- 50:04Speaker 2: They thought it was a good matchup against Indianapolis, they
- 50:06Speaker 2: thought it was a good matchup against Cincinnati. They thought
- 50:08Speaker 2: it was a good matchup against the Chargers. Those are
- 50:11Speaker 2: three straight matchups where, even though the offense was actually
- 50:15Speaker 2: projected pretty well, it was a really tough matchup for Metcalf.
- 50:18Speaker 2: Particularly Cincinnati and Indianapolis had done a phenomenal job against
- 50:22Speaker 2: wide receiver ones, so the fact that he hasn't been
- 50:25Speaker 2: as productive does not kind of give me pause at all.
- 50:30Speaker 2: He's still gotten plenty of targets, by the way, But
- 50:33Speaker 2: more importantly, now he goes into a very good matchup
- 50:35Speaker 2: with Chicago for the first time in almost like a
- 50:38Speaker 2: month really, and I think Mason Rudolph could be beneficial
- 50:41Speaker 2: for him because Aaron Rodgers tied for the absolute lowest
- 50:44Speaker 2: average chef of target in the league at five point
- 50:48Speaker 2: nine both last year and the year prior when he
- 50:51Speaker 2: was still with Pittsburgh, Mason Rudolph has had an average
- 50:54Speaker 2: deft of target at seven or over seven yards, so
- 50:57Speaker 2: it was really low last week. I think it was
- 50:59Speaker 2: like two point four. And his relief duty of Rogers,
- 51:02Speaker 2: but I think we'll see him try to push the
- 51:05Speaker 2: ball downfield just a little bit more. At least he'll
- 51:07Speaker 2: be more willing to throw the ball downfield to metcalf.
- 51:10Speaker 2: He still might post like a crazy low average seth
- 51:12Speaker 2: of target because they'll throw a ton of stuff behind
- 51:14Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage and things of that nature, but
- 51:17Speaker 2: Rogers will not throw the ball downfield. Rudolf will actually
- 51:20Speaker 2: give Metcalf some chances. So I really like this popper
- 51:23Speaker 2: Metcalf as a bringback to any Chicago's stuff.
- 51:26Speaker 1: Do I go back to Jalen Warren at all?
- 51:30Speaker 2: Man, I do think he'll be a little bit under
- 51:33Speaker 2: on the problem is he's all the way up to
- 51:35Speaker 2: sixty six hundred and he's not scoring enough, right, Like,
- 51:41Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest thing for me. Is I
- 51:44Speaker 2: like the ardage, I like the receiving role. I definitely
- 51:49Speaker 2: don't like how involved Gainwell is, But I think people
- 51:52Speaker 2: should realize that even though Gamewell has such a role,
- 51:55Speaker 2: Like if you just looked at Warren's volume and his
- 51:59Speaker 2: receiving role, still like what you saw. It's just that
- 52:02Speaker 2: it could be like astronomically good if game what wasn't
- 52:06Speaker 2: taking so much of it? But the touchdown equity just
- 52:09Speaker 2: isn't there that much for him. So at sixty six
- 52:12Speaker 2: hundred for him versus what is it fifty three hundred
- 52:16Speaker 2: for Metcalf, Like, give me the thirteen hundred dollars in
- 52:19Speaker 2: savings and the better big playability than Metcalf gives you.
- 52:23Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that call, And obviously you know keeps
- 52:25Speaker 1: Caleb's side pushing. They still have almost a twenty five
- 52:28Speaker 1: point team total at home for the Bear, so you know,
- 52:30Speaker 1: scheduled to put to the points. I also liked your
- 52:32Speaker 1: Swift call fifty six hundred. Could definitely see him get
- 52:36Speaker 1: in the mix, you could. I think it's fine. Again,
- 52:37Speaker 1: not like it's a crazy correlation. It's more than just
- 52:39Speaker 1: like the combo pack is cheap and very low owned
- 52:43Speaker 1: right now of Swift and Metcalf even like if it
- 52:45Speaker 1: is just Swift on the ground and then you get that,
- 52:47Speaker 1: but you could also stack Swift with Caleb Williams, and
- 52:50Speaker 1: Caleb Williams only a little bit more money than the
- 52:53Speaker 1: Brissettes of the world, a little bit less than golf.
- 52:56Speaker 1: He's kind of squeezed right in the middle. So I
- 52:58Speaker 1: do like that thought process there. We talked about that.
- 53:01Speaker 1: We talked about that.
- 53:03Speaker 2: One other thing is I do think you can take
- 53:05Speaker 2: a chance on the Chicago tight ends. Pittsburgh has been
- 53:09Speaker 2: a very good matchup for tight ends, and one of
- 53:11Speaker 2: the main reasons is they have given up by far
- 53:14Speaker 2: the most receiving yards in the league over the middle.
- 53:17Speaker 2: Hit a very easy no off prop last week, just
- 53:20Speaker 2: kind of banking on this same concept and Loveland leads
- 53:24Speaker 2: the team in receiving yards over the middle of the field.
- 53:27Speaker 2: Romadunes close second. Both have been effective over the middle,
- 53:30Speaker 2: but co Comet's fourth on the team, so they are
- 53:33Speaker 2: using the tight ends more down the middle than anywhere
- 53:35Speaker 2: else in the field. So if we are going to
- 53:37Speaker 2: see Loveland two point zero this year, I think this
- 53:41Speaker 2: is probably the matchup to final.
- 53:43Speaker 1: Yeah, don't hate that. And it's another way to just
- 53:45Speaker 1: get different with your build. A couple more spots I
- 53:48Speaker 1: want to talk about it, and then we'll get to
- 53:49Speaker 1: our leverage laying here shortly. But and if you've got
- 53:52Speaker 1: others you can bring them up. But one on one
- 53:53Speaker 1: spot I want to hit on was the Ravens at home.
- 53:56Speaker 1: One interesting thing about that, again, well it's very hard
- 53:58Speaker 1: to predict why, when, where, et cetera. They're obviously my
- 54:01Speaker 1: favorite team, but just noting it from all the fandom aside,
- 54:05Speaker 1: it's not the same pricing but kind of is of
- 54:09Speaker 1: like a cheaper version of the Detroit stack. And they're
- 54:12Speaker 1: also scheduled with the implied team total I should say,
- 54:15Speaker 1: at home of twenty nine points. So any thoughts here
- 54:18Speaker 1: on stacking Lamar with Zay Mark Andrews do you like
- 54:22Speaker 1: Breece Hall, somebody on the other side, anything in that
- 54:25Speaker 1: game at all that you're interested in.
- 54:27Speaker 2: I'd be more interested in the Jets side, actually, which
- 54:31Speaker 2: is kind of crazy, but I just don't see the
- 54:35Speaker 2: explosion coming from Lamar for a couple reasons. Number one,
- 54:37Speaker 2: he hasn't run the balls often of late, and number two,
- 54:40Speaker 2: he really hasn't been that good against the blitz this year.
- 54:43Speaker 2: He hasn't been that good one pressure this year, and
- 54:45Speaker 2: the Jets do, they will blitz a little bit. So
- 54:50Speaker 2: I just basically I'm not liking what I'm seeing from Baltimore.
- 54:54Speaker 2: And while the Jets defense is far from good, I
- 54:57Speaker 2: think they are a worse matchup for Baltimore than they
- 54:59Speaker 2: offer most offenses.
- 55:01Speaker 1: Yeah, one thing I will say is in that game,
- 55:04Speaker 1: definitely have interest in Where do you have Derick Henry
- 55:06Speaker 1: right now for ownership and single entry at.
- 55:09Speaker 2: A very very like appetizing maunt like twelve percent something
- 55:12Speaker 2: like that, And yeah, he could absolutely demolished it.
- 55:14Speaker 1: Jeff Trevion Henderson can go for like thirty DK points
- 55:17Speaker 1: in the game where he actually did it on his own,
- 55:19Speaker 1: not like the last minute sixty yard touchdown from the
- 55:22Speaker 1: previous game. I think we could definitely see Derek Henry
- 55:25Speaker 1: be a big part of that offense, and he interests
- 55:26Speaker 1: me as well there, so that's something I'm thinking about
- 55:30Speaker 1: Ravens d if you want to put him in there,
- 55:31Speaker 1: thirty nine. They're squeeze between those guys we talked about
- 55:34Speaker 1: up top. A lot of the expensive d's this week
- 55:37Speaker 1: are solid and not really owned because of what's going
- 55:39Speaker 1: on around them, and they have like real thought process
- 55:42Speaker 1: or leverage behind them. I guess you you know Mason
- 55:44Speaker 1: Taylor on the other side, like he said, but not
- 55:46Speaker 1: super high on that. I think Derrick Henry is the
- 55:48Speaker 1: spot there and then the only other spot there was
- 55:53Speaker 1: something else here I was going to look at. Did
- 55:55Speaker 1: you want to talk about anything to do with your
- 55:58Speaker 1: your Eagles or the count.
- 56:01Speaker 2: Yeah, that's actually a really good one to talk about.
- 56:04Speaker 2: So you kind of mentioned this before. But like the
- 56:10Speaker 2: the Eagles, what they want to do offensively is build
- 56:15Speaker 2: a lead and then shut things down. They want to
- 56:18Speaker 2: trust their elite defense, which has been absolutely incredible of late,
- 56:23Speaker 2: and they want to play as risk averse as they
- 56:26Speaker 2: possibly can't offensively because they're obsessed with turnover margin. Like
- 56:30Speaker 2: I think they're obsessed with turnover margin to a detrimental point.
- 56:36Speaker 2: They would counter by saying that we just won the
- 56:38Speaker 2: Super Bowl with this philosophy, and we're eight and two,
- 56:40Speaker 2: and we look like the best team in the league
- 56:42Speaker 2: in a lot of ways other than the fact that
- 56:44Speaker 2: our offenses and score points. But we just win and
- 56:46Speaker 2: we're beating elite team after elite team. But so when
- 56:50Speaker 2: I look at this game, like number one, I think
- 56:52Speaker 2: this is a better Dallas defense than they've been throughout
- 56:54Speaker 2: the year. Quinnin Williams over shown back, so on and
- 56:57Speaker 2: so forth. So there's that, but more importantly, like I
- 57:02Speaker 2: just don't see how Dallas does enough offensively against this
- 57:07Speaker 2: elite Philly defense to push Philadelphia. And when you look
- 57:11Speaker 2: at the skill guys in this game, I don't think
- 57:14Speaker 2: there's a more expensive collection of players than Saquon, Davante,
- 57:18Speaker 2: AJ Pickens, and Ceedee Lamb. So it's just so so hard.
- 57:27Speaker 2: Also Javonte, by the way, We've got Davante and Javonte.
- 57:30Speaker 2: So it's just like I don't see enough production coming
- 57:34Speaker 2: in this game to support most offenses, let alone such
- 57:39Speaker 2: an expensive offense on both sides of the ball. So
- 57:42Speaker 2: I'm not going to be on this game. I think
- 57:43Speaker 2: the only guy that I would consider playing is Saque
- 57:46Speaker 2: Maybe maybe like I got her at one off or
- 57:49Speaker 2: something like that, but I'm mostly going to be off
- 57:51Speaker 2: this game, and I hope the field plays this game
- 57:54Speaker 2: aggressively because I just don't think it has anywhere near
- 57:57Speaker 2: the chance of taking off as the Giants, the Bears,
- 58:02Speaker 2: the Lions, even the Cardinals. Like I would play the
- 58:04Speaker 2: Cardinals before I stacked either of these offenses. So maybe
- 58:09Speaker 2: he could get away with like a Ceedee Lamb one
- 58:11Speaker 2: off or something like that, just saying you know what,
- 58:13Speaker 2: I think it's more likely that Quignon is on pickings
- 58:16Speaker 2: most of the game. Although one interesting notice the Eagles
- 58:19Speaker 2: have kind of changed the way they're using Quignon. Where
- 58:23Speaker 2: early in the season he was shadowing, now they're using
- 58:26Speaker 2: him more as the boundary corner, which means he lines
- 58:29Speaker 2: up on the short side of the field and that's
- 58:31Speaker 2: basically like his side. He just shuts the guy down
- 58:35Speaker 2: on that side, and that way they can really roll
- 58:37Speaker 2: safety help over to the white side of the field
- 58:40Speaker 2: and too a Dori Jackson side, So in that regard,
- 58:44Speaker 2: Dallas can kind of get whatever matchup that they want
- 58:47Speaker 2: against a Dori Jackson, but a Dory and the fact
- 58:51Speaker 2: that he's getting this extra help now they've been a
- 58:54Speaker 2: lot more effective than what they were early in the
- 58:57Speaker 2: season were kind of whoever teams attacked a Jory Jackson
- 59:02Speaker 2: or that just quarterback to position with where we're finding
- 59:05Speaker 2: a lot of success. It's not happening anymore because of
- 59:07Speaker 2: this adjustment that Philly is me.
- 59:10Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's gonna be interesting then because I will
- 59:12Speaker 1: segue to my leverage lane of the week, and I'm
- 59:16Speaker 1: going right here. So I know you're the Philly guy.
- 59:18Speaker 1: I know you know what you're talking about. But at
- 59:19Speaker 1: the end of the day, I would kick myself if
- 59:22Speaker 1: I didn't go to a if week twelve, if you
- 59:24Speaker 1: told me at the start of the season that week twelve,
- 59:26Speaker 1: we're going to be able to play sixty six hundred
- 59:30Speaker 1: dollars Hurts, fifty nine hundred dollars a j Brown, and
- 59:33Speaker 1: fifty six hundred dollars DeVonta Smith, who, by the way,
- 59:36Speaker 1: people like them. So how do we get this solved?
- 59:39Speaker 1: And you know the scenario. They have to get pushed
- 59:42Speaker 1: and then you can make the scenario make sense. Wait
- 59:44Speaker 1: a minute, you said it out of the bye, Philly
- 59:46Speaker 1: played two of the best teams in the league. They're
- 59:48Speaker 1: all putting up points. They're playing two really good teams,
- 59:51Speaker 1: and they're playing the style they need to play to
- 59:53Speaker 1: get the job done. Beating the Lions. It's a Vin Diesel.
- 59:57Speaker 1: Throw them up, doesn't matter how you win to insure
- 59:59Speaker 1: them up. Get that. You want that w against the Lions.
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: That matters big time. Sixteen to nine, going into green
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: Bay and people can say what they want about them.
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: They're still a good team. They've had some rough go
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: different teams that beat them, but going into Green Bay
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: is not easy to win. You take a ten to seven,
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: you walk out of there happy again. These people don't.
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: They're the don't care about your fantasy team people. That's fine,
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: they should and they have a job to do and
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: they're getting it done. Before that, though, you want to
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: see them go up against the Giants the week before
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: thirty eight points, Minnesota twenty eight points. I'm not sold
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: that Dallas. Did they get better? Yes, I'm sold on that.
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: Did they get a better defense? Sure they made big
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: moves to get that better defense, But I'm not sold
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: we know it's that much better when you tell me
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: the proving point is they took down Geno Smith and
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: the Raiders. Congrats to you. I think a lot of
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: teams can do that. So my point is, I think
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: we are going to know everything we need to know.
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: The lineup's dead if we don't get the back and forth.
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: So it's good news bad news for you out there.
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: And again you're supposed to stay in your own lane.
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: This is my lane. If you want to come with me,
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: by all means, but I'm just telling you I would
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: be kicking myself if I didn't get involved. At sixty
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: six hundred dollars Hurts when everyone wants the guys that
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: cost more or less and the two less than six
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: K wide receivers, and I'm gonna bring someone back because
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: it makes it work. I just got to look at
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: the full roster composition. So what I'm committed to is
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: Hurts plus two, and the two is gonna be Brown
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: and Devanta. But I'm playing enough, and in portfolio it's
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: gonna be Goddard mixed in. He's a guy that can
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: have two touchdowns. Could be Smith Goddard in some but
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: in my in my main I want to use those
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: two receivers and keep my other spots open. What you
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: tell me how bad it is after everything you just said,
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: if I with my I try to sell it the
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: best I could there.
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look like we can. We can. Even
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: in this season where Philly hasn't done a whole lot offensively,
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: we still see massive performances what they did against Minnesota.
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: If you get that Minnesota game, you're taking everything down
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: this week. So I will never kind of say like,
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: you can't do this or you shouldn't do this. I
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: think from a football perspective it it doesn't make as
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: much sense. But from a game theory perspective, there's always
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: there's always a point where it becomes worth doing, Which
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: leads me to my question for you, which is, is
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: there an ownership point on these three guys Hurtz, Brown,
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: Smith where you would either consider coming off the offense
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: or saying you know what, okay instead of going Smith
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: and Brown, I'll make it a priority to go godd
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: or so at least I'm saving a little bit money
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: and making it a I'm using this stack any more
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: contrarian way than the people who are using.
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I just I don't have an exact number,
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: but I also don't think the threshold happens. I know
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: what you're saying, So I'll rephrase for those that are like, oh,
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: you're just saying it, Like, my point would be what
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: you're saying is when stuff If you found out this
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: was really steaming up and it was becoming way more
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: popular for everybody, would that change your mind a little bit?
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: It definitely is a factor in what I'm thinking about.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: I don't see a world where it gets to those numbers.
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: I actually currently don't even believe the Devanta Smith ownership number.
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: Just my take, and it could be. I think you
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: nailed something earlier we talked pre show, You've already mentioned
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: on this show. I think when you add in the
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: Jamis and Williams factor, where does that pull from? When
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: you add in if people are going to run back
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: a giant, where does that pull from the spots that
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: it pulls from?
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: There?
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: Again, that's my lane. I want to don't. I want
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: want to too many tangents, But just so you notice
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: this too and everybody hears it. The other interesting thing
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: about all that Devontoff just falls into that camp for
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: me is Zay Flowers, Stefan Diggs, O Lave, all these
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: guys that are usually chalk and very popular and people
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: love them. Nobody wants to play them this week at
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: all because they just got it all figured out with
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: Chase Brown and Emmanuel Wilson in the Detroit stack with
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: McBride and Wilson, Like, how often does that ever really
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: work out? So we'll see even last week, by the way,
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: when people say it worked, you didn't. You didn't have it.
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: My mannaids was on the Takedown breakdown Monday. You played
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: the one that ten thy five hundred people played when
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: you put dorch and someone from the other side, and
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: only five hundred people out of one hundred and sixty
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: thousand had that those lineups. You didn't play the version
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: and three chalk pieces hit, three chalk pieces busted. Flip
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: that coin. And like I always say, it's always always
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: two sides to the coin. So I agree with you
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: from a football side. The best part of DFS is
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: not just that you know there's another slate, we can
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: reset and all that, but you can feel it and
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: play it the way you feel it. Like we know
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: in my heart of hearts and yours, even if it
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: was gonna go this way, you need the runback to
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: make this work, you need Dallas to play keep up.
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: I have thoughts around why that is. With the previous matchups,
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: the situational stop like, I feel really good about it,
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: and I think the price is right. So I'm getting
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: in rip to my man, Bob Barker, but I think
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: the price is right on this one. I'm getting in.
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: I like the call my leverage lane. I have toy
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: with the idea of going with the Jameis Winston stack.
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: I've toyed with the idea of going with the Caleb
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: Williams stack. I think both are so good that I
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: don't want to make either my leverage lane because I
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: at this point like there's still a really good chance
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: to end up on the other one my single untry.
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go a different round. I'm gonna say
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jigba is my leverage lane. He is
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: the highest GPP score for US over at FTN this week.
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: It's one of the higher GPP scores we've seen this
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: entire season. He's at a price where people have said, Okay,
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: I'm I'm comfortable not playing him there. I have enough,
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: you know, studs that I really like. Whether it's a Monra,
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: Jamier Gibbs where they feel like I'm getting maybe they
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: feel like they're getting an even better play for less money.
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: But we have Smith and Jigba projected well clear of
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: the rest of the receivers almost four entire points of
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: projection above Amanra almost actually over seven points better than
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: amarra improjected sealing for us, and only fourteen percent single
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: entry ownership right now on Smith and Jigba. So he's
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: going to be my leverage lean And regardless of whether
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: I go to the Caleb stack or the Winston stack,
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: understand that, like part of the reason why I really
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: like those stacks is because I am saving more money
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: compared to the average build, and therefore I can use
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: that money to go pay for Smith and Jigba. And
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: by the way, that like that's not Smith and Jigba
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: instead of any of those lions. I can very very
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: easily do Smith and Jigba and Gibbs if I want to,
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: Smith and Jigba, and Saint Brown if I want to,
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: or Smith and Jigba and Jon Robinson and then fade
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: both of those lions studs things of that nature. So
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: there are a lot of options. But part of the
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: reason why I think Smith and Jigba is so under
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: owned is because I don't find him that price prohibited. So,
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: you know, if it'd be one thing, if it was
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: like Man, more people than fourteen percent should be playing
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: Smith and Jigba. But I get it because those Smith
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: and jigbait lineups don't look good on forcing things I
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: don't like. I think it's actually pretty comfortable to build
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: with him, and even comfortable to build with him and
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: another stud. So to me, there's just no reason why
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: he should be this low loaned. And the final point
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: there is Tennessee plays seventy three percent zone coverage. It's
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: a lot of own. It's not the most in the league,
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: but it is a lot of zwe and Smith and
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: Jigba two point ninety seven yards per our run against man,
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: four point eighty nine against zone. And the reason for this,
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: I think is pretty straightforward. It's not that he's a
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: better receiver against zone and a worse receiver against man.
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: It's that so much of what Seattle does is predicated
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: around play action, and play action affects zone coverages more
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: than it affects man coverages, so they just kind of
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: get whatever they want to spend in Jigba. It's also
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: easier for the defense to take away Smith and Jigbo
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: when they're playing man then they can put a safety
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: over top of him than when they're playing zone and
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: they have to just kind of hope that they have
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: a numbers advantage against Smith and Jigbo wherever he ends
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: up running. So love the kind of advanced football data,
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: the way that it's pointing to Smith and Jigba, and
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: I love the game theory behind this play. So he's
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: going to be my leverage lane, loverage lane.
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: I love it. So let's go. I think it's interesting
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: a couple concepts that came up there, and then we'll
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: round it the show that you can let the people
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: know where you can they can find you. We'll go
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: to everything else but nine k opposite a best buy pricing, right,
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: nobody wants to buy the TV Black Friday when it's
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: nine hundred dollars, but when it's eight ninety nine, who
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: got a deal? Secondary to that? I think he played
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: his worst game possible last week and still had almost
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: twenty five Fantasy points. It was like, man, this guy
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: felt like you coulda had forty more on that in
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: a second, and then lastly the slate dynamics. Again, it's
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: just like how brock Bauers got over owned at the
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: Captain the other night because his price was so cheap.
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: It's like he was still rock Bowers, He's still in
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: a great spot, et cetera, et cetera, but the price
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: just forced him up. Funny enough, it was opposite best
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: buy prize. He was eight thousand flat. Had he been
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: seventy nine, it would have been even crazier. But the point,
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: more so, being in a different way of putting it,
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: was the cheap price propped him up, even though you
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: didn't really need him at the cheap price, like, there
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: was tons of ways you could play the slate without
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: him being up there. There's tons of ways to play
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: this slate if you could just get over one of
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: Gibbs or a monerl like so you can actually play
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: them both together. But if you can just understand that
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: I'm gonna make JSN one of my other studs as
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: opposed to a second Detroit guy or another running back
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: or whatever it might be, that's all you're doing. And
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: there's so many stacks and ways to go that you
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: can play them now on that note, I'm gonna kick
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: one question back to you before we get out of here.
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: What's your thoughts about the JSN Explosion game and then
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: putting it together with Donald or require or being like, damn,
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: I was right on him, but I didn't have him
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: with Donald, and that's what you actually needed. I don't
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: think he always needs Donald, to be clear, but just
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: to note it, if you see him have the forty
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: point game, what do you think that looks like for Donald?
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: Yeah? Man, it's it's hard because I definitely think if
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: if you get the forty point game, you're gonna wish
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: you had Donald. But the counterpoint to that is, it's
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: like in every other outcome, because you know, I'm I'm
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: going to be a sickler with myself. I'm gonna stick
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: to what I know and what I do well. Just
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: these double stacks or even triple stacks in a bringback,
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: I don't want to tighten. I don't want a second
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: Seattle pass Catcher. So any any outcome other than the
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: JSN Absolute Monster game that puts Donald at thirty five
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: or something like that, I'm gonna wish that I didn't
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: have this game stacked. And so for me, like it.
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: JSN is fine as a one off here. It would
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: be different if Donald was going to be ten percent
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: along with Smith and Jigbas fifteen percent, And I felt like, Okay,
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: if I get the fifteen or if I get the
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: forty point JSN performance, I'm going to be hurt by
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: not having Donald because they're gonna be enough teams that
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: also have Donald. That's not really gonna be the case.
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: Donald's going to be so low owned along with JASN
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: that if if I get the forty point performance from JSN,
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: I don't think I'm gonna be automatically beaten by Donald
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: team because there just aren't going to be enough of them.
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: So I'm comfortable JSN is a one off, which is
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: not always how I approach these things. But let's also
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: recognize like jsn's a bit different because he's doing this
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: on such an insanely high target share, such an insanely
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: high air yard share, where like Jamar Chase doesn't get
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: many forty point performances where there is and it's also
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: at least a good amount of volume an opportunity for
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: t Higgins or from Mikeasicki or Chase Brown. We're seeing
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: the smash with JSN where there's very little if any
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: opportunity for any of the pass catchers. So I'm way
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: more comfortable with the JSN one off than I usually need.
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: Excellent explanation there because that's actually a version of what
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: I was talking about earlier now to kind of just
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: out it and say it was like last week, I
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: saw some people that got to Bryce Young with tet
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: with Bijon as the runback, which I think in the
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: end was like solid and obviously you had to get
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: the career game out of Bryce Young, but that can happen,
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: so we talk about all the time any given week,
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: But that was some of the lineups I saw where
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: it's like you already did that and then they just
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: went completely off the rails. It's like they went too
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: far off. You already had a zero point one six
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: percent owned quarterback and you got his career outcome, but
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: then you didn't plug the good plays quote unquote after
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: that to your point, you would have never needed you
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: didn't need it. You didn't You didn't even need John
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: down at forty seven unless you were playing for the
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: opt to Like the winners of all the tournaments had
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: the Brissette triple stacks with the runbacks, So go ahead,
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: it looks like you're gonna add more, and then after
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: you're done. You can also let people know where they
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: can find you before we get out of here. For
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: today's version of Leverage Laane for week twelve.
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: So last week's like those lineups because I saw the
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: same thing. I saw someone who had Bryce, Bjon London
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: and Ted and then they screwed up everybody else. And
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: my thought when I looked at that was like, what
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: are you doing? Man? You have the high probability chalk
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: plays in the late window. If you love this stack,
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: why are you not leaving as much of the rest
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: of your lineup open as you possibly can so that
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: you can play the chalk later if your stack kids,
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: or not play it later if it doesn't. Because man,
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: if you had if you had Bryce, Ted, London, Bijon,
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: it's so simple for you to then go McBride or
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: maybe maybe for some recent thing McBride is in a
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: good play and you just want to get to McCaffrey
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: as well, or Michael Wilson, Like, there were so many
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: options of what you could have done once you had
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: that phenomenal start with these really high probability plays where
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: their ownership doesn't matter anymore. You've already separated so much
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: from the field with literal like one percent or point
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: two percent play play, I think, I like, I legitimately
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: think Bryce Young was zero point two eight percent point
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: it was insane. So so yeah, just I think it's
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: it's a great point that you're making when when you
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: have something that you especially if you have like a
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: lot of conviction on it and it's going to be
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: anywhere near that contrarian the thought should be, Okay, if
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: this hits, if this conviction play hits, or this conviction
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: stack hits, how do I maximize my potential of taking
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: advantage of that throughout the rest of your land. You're
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: no longer looking for other separators. You're not trying to
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: get different elsewhere. Now, you're just trying to conserve the
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: advantage that that stack is giving you. And it's especially
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: true if you can if that if that conviction contrarian
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: play is in the early wave of games, and you
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: can use swaps to your advantage later on. So a
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: great thing for people to keep in mind, and it's
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: it's something we talk a lot about in my discord.
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: So minde.
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: You can find all my stuff through my Twitter at
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: Alex Blicka one. If you want all the ownership projections
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: and GPP scores and contest sims, go over to FTN

- 1:14:39Speaker 2: check me out over at Twitter.
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: Yeah. The other point on that too is kind of
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: like the DeVonta Smith, what if he does really come
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: in at that or I mean he's gonna have some
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: I wasn't saying that. I'm saying I do think it's
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: coming back some if he does committed that. The way
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: to get different when someone's actually owned is to then
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: have their quarterback in it. That makes their ceiling day
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: worth more, Which is like with Hertz versus if, like
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: you said, when JSN is already coming in solo owned,
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: will you really even need Jay? Will people even have
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: the Darnolds. There will be ones that have it, but
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: then they might mess it up with Shaheed or barn
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: or whoever else they decide to use. So always a
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: good conversation, man. I think people love it as we
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: go through.
