- 0:48Speaker 2: back for week thirteen. We're breaking down the main slate
- 0:51Speaker 2: from a single entry GPP focused perspective. We're going to
- 0:54Speaker 2: talk about ownership, probably in ways you don't hear too
- 0:57Speaker 2: often around the industry. We're gonna put it all together,
- 1:00Speaker 2: id out what the common build looks like, how to
- 1:02Speaker 2: leverage the common build, and then at the end, my
- 1:04Speaker 2: partner in crime and I mister Alex blikel we will
- 1:06Speaker 2: get to our leverage lane for the week and Alex,
- 1:09Speaker 2: I'll bring you in. It's a holiday week. I know
- 1:11Speaker 2: everyone feels a little drowsy, a little bit behind myself included,
- 1:13Speaker 2: but excited for this one always. We had a special
- 1:15Speaker 2: addition that went really well with our man hoopster on Wednesday,
- 1:18Speaker 2: getting ready for Thanksgiving. But we're back. It's a Black
- 1:22Speaker 2: Friday extended week as well. By the way, like if
- 1:24Speaker 2: you if your email inbox isn't filled with a million emails.
- 1:27Speaker 2: I feel like I thought Black Friday was three weeks ago.
- 1:30Speaker 2: I've been getting emails since and now it's extended as well.
- 1:32Speaker 2: So what's going on?
- 1:33Speaker 3: Man?
- 1:33Speaker 2: Man? How you doing?
- 1:34Speaker 4: Doing very well?
- 1:35Speaker 3: Is a fun Thanksgiving slate of football? Had a pretty
- 1:38Speaker 3: good maint pretty good like draftking slate for Thanksgiving, but
- 1:43Speaker 3: then yesterday my Eagles get the lost. The saving grace
- 1:46Speaker 3: of the weekend was the pick them and prop side
- 1:48Speaker 3: of things had a really nice hit on Thanksgiving. I
- 1:50Speaker 3: did the same last year, so Thanksgiving apparently is really
- 1:53Speaker 3: really kind to pick them. But yeah, I'm really excited
- 1:56Speaker 3: for this slate. I think, you know, it's something we've
- 1:58Speaker 3: said a bunch this year where it's like, hey, this
- 2:01Speaker 3: slate feels like it's probably going to be more low scoring,
- 2:04Speaker 3: which is the kind of slate that you and I
- 2:06Speaker 3: really like.
- 2:08Speaker 4: Maybe maybe maybe this.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Is actually the low scoring slate because it is ugly
- 2:12Speaker 3: from a stacked perspective, it's ugly from you know, an
- 2:14Speaker 3: obvious value perspective.
- 2:17Speaker 4: I've got high.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Hopes that this is one of the low scoring slates,
- 2:20Speaker 3: which I historically have done a lot better.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Yeah. Me, too, and that's what I like, shout out
- 2:24Speaker 2: to everybody geting in. I met Beatle Bain says this
- 2:26Speaker 2: is the great slate, poor leverage, laying Kenny Down's there.
- 2:28Speaker 2: I said, this is quite the slate, but someone has
- 2:31Speaker 2: to win. He's right, he's correct. So hopefully we can
- 2:34Speaker 2: help you guys with that last week. Man to your
- 2:35Speaker 2: Jessen call, that was very nice and happened pretty quickly
- 2:38Speaker 2: as well. I was like, all you want to leave
- 2:40Speaker 2: this guy, He'll just roll go ahead.
- 2:41Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, man.
- 2:42Speaker 3: We talked about it a little bit on the Thursday show.
- 2:44Speaker 3: But I had Jameis Winston, I had Wandale Robinson, I
- 2:49Speaker 3: had Smith and Jake Ba and I had Jamiir Gibbs.
- 2:52Speaker 4: They combined for over one hundred and sixty points.
- 2:54Speaker 3: That's more points than my Week one lineup at almost
- 2:57Speaker 3: one a million dollars and I barely mean cash. It's
- 3:01Speaker 3: insane just how I scoring these slates have been. And
- 3:04Speaker 3: the thing about that is like when you have those
- 3:06Speaker 3: contrarian separator calls that hit in a huge way, they
- 3:10Speaker 3: just don't separate as much because so much, so much
- 3:14Speaker 3: of the chunk is also hitting in a big way,
- 3:15Speaker 3: and it's been really frustrating. But you know, I think
- 3:18Speaker 3: the thing to keep in mind is like, even if
- 3:21Speaker 3: this slate wasn't so ugly, we know with certainty that
- 3:24Speaker 3: not every single slate is going to be high scoring.
- 3:27Speaker 3: And I do still think there's a strong advantage in
- 3:30Speaker 3: asking yourself what does the slate look like? If it's
- 3:32Speaker 3: low scoring, how does that happen? And then how do
- 3:34Speaker 3: I take.
- 3:35Speaker 4: Advantage of that?
- 3:36Speaker 2: Yeah, and even last week was crazy, Like some people
- 3:38Speaker 2: said you could have all you could have two or
- 3:39Speaker 2: three pieces, right, but you needed a lot more than that.
- 3:41Speaker 2: If you just had Gibbs, great, those fifty eight points
- 3:43Speaker 2: were awesome, but it was like you needed more to
- 3:45Speaker 2: go with it. My stack last week started super strong.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Your Eagles, by the way, and I mean two punishments
- 3:50Speaker 2: for you back to back. By the way, Ravens took
- 3:52Speaker 2: the l as well too on Thanksgiving, so it's like
- 3:54Speaker 2: our teams losing, but your guys were up twenty one
- 3:57Speaker 2: nothing early. It was all aj Brown on to Smith.
- 4:00Speaker 2: I was loving it. Hurts is doing his thing. The
- 4:03Speaker 2: Cowboys couldn't really keep up until they could and then
- 4:05Speaker 2: they actually came back and won. So that was devastating
- 4:07Speaker 2: from an Eagles fan perspective, but it didn't really help
- 4:09Speaker 2: for DFS that the Eagles did nothing in the second
- 4:12Speaker 2: half and then yeah, your your team yesterday just to
- 4:15Speaker 2: you know, tough, tough scene, but maybe it's tough. We'll
- 4:17Speaker 2: see the Bears making fun of them after saying they
- 4:20Speaker 2: knew exactly what was gonna happen and howble it was. Like.
- 4:23Speaker 2: That type of stuff is a really tough scene in
- 4:25Speaker 2: the NFL. But I gotta say other side of it
- 4:28Speaker 2: is like zero bias to either of those teams. Ben Johnson,
- 4:31Speaker 2: that fired up speech in the locker room, I live
- 4:34Speaker 2: for that shit. I love that stuff.
- 4:35Speaker 4: Man.
- 4:35Speaker 2: His guys are clearly bought in. People can say what
- 4:38Speaker 2: they want about schedules and all this stuff, but you
- 4:40Speaker 2: can only play what's put in front of you. You
- 4:42Speaker 2: have to beat the teams that you that you draw,
- 4:44Speaker 2: and they've done a good job of doing that. So
- 4:45Speaker 2: congrats to the Bears getting the job done. And hopefully
- 4:47Speaker 2: the Eagles look lots of time. The people were saying
- 4:49Speaker 2: it about them at this time last year too, and
- 4:51Speaker 2: they going to win the Super Bowl. So yeah, all
- 4:53Speaker 2: good stuff. Let's break it down though. Let's get into
- 4:55Speaker 2: it as we usually do. You've mentioned it a couple
- 4:57Speaker 2: of things on this slate, Alex out of the gate one.
- 5:00Speaker 2: The weather's a big talking point, which also leads we
- 5:02Speaker 2: go down the lane. Like we say, weather leads to
- 5:05Speaker 2: typically where that ownership is going, which then leads to
- 5:08Speaker 2: the common build. What are you sort of seeing putting
- 5:10Speaker 2: all those pieces together early on how it's sort of
- 5:13Speaker 2: formulating the ownership on this slate, which then we'll get
- 5:16Speaker 2: to the common build after. What are you seeing?
- 5:18Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think right off the bat, Houston seems
- 5:21Speaker 3: like it's going to be the most popular stack, and
- 5:24Speaker 3: the reason for this is honestly kind of clear. It's
- 5:26Speaker 3: like you look around the slate and number one, as
- 5:29Speaker 3: we said, there's there's a bit of a it's going
- 5:33Speaker 3: to be hard to go find that really good value, right,
- 5:35Speaker 3: and so what do people like to do when that's
- 5:37Speaker 3: the case. They like to correlate their value. Okay, Well,
- 5:40Speaker 3: Higgins has been solid for them, Christian Kirk has been solid.
- 5:43Speaker 4: So thirty nine hundred, thirty four hundred.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Now you've got Nico Collins at sixty seven hundred, who
- 5:48Speaker 3: we all know has the same ceiling that you know
- 5:51Speaker 3: Smith and Jay Gunpuca who are going to get plenty
- 5:52Speaker 3: of ownership have.
- 5:54Speaker 4: So I think people go there.
- 5:55Speaker 3: And the other big part about that is we talked
- 5:58Speaker 3: about how much potential weather there is. This is one
- 6:00Speaker 3: of the I think it might even be the only
- 6:03Speaker 3: indoor game. If it's not, it's one of two or three.
- 6:05Speaker 3: So you just get kind of like a perfect storm here.
- 6:09Speaker 3: People need the value, people want the one indoor turf game,
- 6:14Speaker 3: and what is that lead to. It leads to a
- 6:16Speaker 3: lot of ownership for CJ. Stroud, So he's also at
- 6:20Speaker 3: a bit of a discounted price tag because he just
- 6:22Speaker 3: missed a couple of weeks.
- 6:24Speaker 4: So I think that's kind of the first thing.
- 6:26Speaker 3: And it not only tells us where ownership is going,
- 6:30Speaker 3: but it also tells us just how hard it is
- 6:33Speaker 3: to find really good game environments and really good stacks elsewhere.
- 6:37Speaker 4: If Houston is suddenly the most popular.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Passing stack, yeah, too many These are don't even full
- 6:43Speaker 2: on tambo tangents, but just no, it's like I always
- 6:45Speaker 2: want to put these back out there because I heard
- 6:46Speaker 2: this before or whatever, But like one thing is a
- 6:48Speaker 2: factor for sure, weather wise when you look at it. Yes,
- 6:51Speaker 2: there is a couple of games out there. You can
- 6:53Speaker 2: go check it out and find the weather and see it.
- 6:55Speaker 2: But a lot of the games that are being targeted
- 6:57Speaker 2: or ticketed as like, oh this could be a weather game.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Back at game time, we're talking about like ten mile
- 7:02Speaker 2: an hour wins, like maybe some light rain. These are
- 7:04Speaker 2: not bad spots. People just automatically go to the team
- 7:07Speaker 2: total and say, well, you know these have bad team totals.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Go look again. They all do, almost every game does.
- 7:12Speaker 2: And then this is my tangent part of reminding people
- 7:15Speaker 2: that total point totals don't always equal the fantasy points scored.
- 7:20Speaker 2: If you can find the fantasy points within the game,
- 7:22Speaker 2: a team could put up fourteen points, but that could
- 7:25Speaker 2: be a running back that has two touchdowns on the
- 7:27Speaker 2: ground in one hundred and fifty yards. I don't care
- 7:29Speaker 2: if they only scored fourteen points. You probably need that
- 7:31Speaker 2: running back and they were affordable, or they made it work,
- 7:33Speaker 2: or they were just a piece that's needed because of
- 7:35Speaker 2: how bad the scoring was. So remember it's best. It's
- 7:38Speaker 2: the best week possible to ignore that. And just a
- 7:40Speaker 2: little side note, you and I were talking pre show,
- 7:42Speaker 2: and I know we're gonna spend time on as we
- 7:44Speaker 2: always do. It's on signle entry focus. But for those
- 7:46Speaker 2: with like a portfolio out there, if there was ever
- 7:49Speaker 2: a week where you're saying, Okay, I hate picking Josh
- 7:52Speaker 2: Allen's guys because he's in a good spot this week,
- 7:54Speaker 2: it's hard to get him right. Well, if there was
- 7:56Speaker 2: ever a week in a portfolio to just get Josh
- 7:59Speaker 2: Allen in there a bunch and find a bunch of
- 8:01Speaker 2: different opportunities, it would be a week like this where
- 8:04Speaker 2: you're struggling with all the other stuff that's out there.
- 8:06Speaker 2: So things like that that you can do that are
- 8:08Speaker 2: just a little bit ways. Different ways that you can
- 8:10Speaker 2: switch it up on a slate like this I think
- 8:11Speaker 2: are important to consider, remember and think about when you're
- 8:14Speaker 2: out there building. The interesting part about that, Alex is
- 8:17Speaker 2: when you reverse engineer backwards to what we're here to
- 8:19Speaker 2: talk about in single edtric, it's like, well, that doesn't
- 8:21Speaker 2: really help me because it's Josh Allen and who and
- 8:24Speaker 2: we might not have the Coleman news till I don't
- 8:25Speaker 2: think we will until an actives come out. Like an
- 8:27Speaker 2: hour and a half before that game, they brought on
- 8:30Speaker 2: Brandon Cooks, which probably means nothing but just putting it
- 8:33Speaker 2: all together can be tricky, and in single entry you
- 8:35Speaker 2: get one shot any extra thoughts on things along those
- 8:38Speaker 2: lines before we hop into sort of go and position
- 8:39Speaker 2: by position and what we see.
- 8:41Speaker 3: The last thing I'll say about weather is it we
- 8:44Speaker 3: should give a reminder that you know, now that the
- 8:45Speaker 3: weather's colder, everything matters just a little bit more. So,
- 8:49Speaker 3: you know, ten to fifteen miles per hour of wind
- 8:51Speaker 3: is literally nothing at all. When it's warm out ten
- 8:55Speaker 3: to fifteen miles an hour, you start to see a
- 8:57Speaker 3: little bit of a decline in passing offense passing efficiency
- 9:00Speaker 3: when it's really cold. And then anything about that, you know,
- 9:02Speaker 3: it it all compounds, right, like very small things compound
- 9:07Speaker 3: together to be a little bit impactful. So just something
- 9:10Speaker 3: to keep in mind, and a reminder to also look
- 9:13Speaker 3: at the weather because like you know, that also means
- 9:15Speaker 3: ten to fifteen miles an hour in Miami is not
- 9:19Speaker 3: going to be the same as the ten to fifteen
- 9:21Speaker 3: that we saw in Philly or something like that, right,
- 9:23Speaker 3: So just yeah, something to keep in mind. But I
- 9:26Speaker 3: think you said it really well too. It's like it's
- 9:29Speaker 3: it also it's it's really not about the median outcome.
- 9:33Speaker 3: It's not about what's the most likely way that this
- 9:35Speaker 3: game plays out. It's what's the full range of outcomes,
- 9:38Speaker 3: And a lot of these bad weather games still have
- 9:40Speaker 3: really good upper and range of outcomes from a fantasy perspective.
- 9:45Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody said it earlier in the chat, and I
- 9:46Speaker 2: agree with it for sure. On weeks like this, and
- 9:48Speaker 2: that's so you and I talk about why we liked it.
- 9:49Speaker 2: If it again may not even be a lower scoring slay,
- 9:51Speaker 2: But if it was, and if it ever will be,
- 9:53Speaker 2: the reason we love those so much is because then
- 9:56Speaker 2: it becomes a lot more of a construction thing. It's
- 9:58Speaker 2: not like, you know, it's is it likely hit or
- 10:00Speaker 2: is it projected as well to hit on the medium projection?
- 10:02Speaker 2: Probably not. But is it built in a way that
- 10:04Speaker 2: if it goes our way and the ceiling side of
- 10:06Speaker 2: it hits, we're just so much further separated from the field.
- 10:09Speaker 2: That's what matters. And you just have to be willing
- 10:11Speaker 2: to lose. Like we talked about it on Thanksgiving, on
- 10:13Speaker 2: a short slate. It's really all slates, but on slates
- 10:15Speaker 2: like this specifically where there's uncertainty and all that. Remember,
- 10:19Speaker 2: people are just naturally built to move towards the certainty
- 10:23Speaker 2: meaning whatever they hear people saying, We're like, oh, well
- 10:25Speaker 2: that game's a little bit risky. I don't want to
- 10:27Speaker 2: do that, go with it. I go the other side
- 10:29Speaker 2: of that always. And that's why, again, it's not how
- 10:30Speaker 2: often you're right, it's how much you win when you
- 10:32Speaker 2: are right. Shout out to my boy title, that's a
- 10:34Speaker 2: good one that he says all the time. And that's
- 10:36Speaker 2: key on a slate like this. So what I'm gonna
- 10:38Speaker 2: flip it up a little bit this week just because
- 10:40Speaker 2: it's kind of the slate that we have at hand.
- 10:41Speaker 2: And I'm just curious because you said you didn't update
- 10:43Speaker 2: this morning on ownership, and you talked about Stroud getting
- 10:46Speaker 2: the steam and I agree one hundred percent on that.
- 10:49Speaker 2: What other quarterbacks specifically are you seeing for single entry,
- 10:53Speaker 2: because we know that's going to sort of bleed into
- 10:55Speaker 2: the rest. Running back will be its own conversation. But
- 10:57Speaker 2: what else are you seeing there at quarterback going to
- 11:00Speaker 2: lead to the stacks?
- 11:01Speaker 3: We see The only other two that I see that
- 11:04Speaker 3: they could end up being like, let's say fifteen percent,
- 11:07Speaker 3: are Tyrod Taylor and Justin Herbert. The advantage to Tyrode
- 11:11Speaker 3: is pretty clear. And obvious number one, Like we just
- 11:13Speaker 3: saw Bryce Young win a slate against Atlanta, so people
- 11:17Speaker 3: love love that aspect of it.
- 11:19Speaker 4: But then also Tyrod has two.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Of the absolute cheapest wide receivers that you could possibly
- 11:23Speaker 3: pare with him, Mechi and added I Mitchell. And the
- 11:25Speaker 3: other advantage to that stack is it seems pretty clear
- 11:28Speaker 3: like if you are going to stack Tyrod, if the
- 11:30Speaker 3: Jets do produce through the air, it's pretty much going
- 11:33Speaker 3: to be those two guys. Maybe Mason Taylor as well,
- 11:36Speaker 3: but people could mix him in. So regardless of how
- 11:38Speaker 3: you're stacking Tyrod, it's like the cheapest thing imaginable. So
- 11:41Speaker 3: anyone who wants to go get you know, a Chan
- 11:44Speaker 3: and McCaffrey and Puka or and JSN, the Jets are
- 11:48Speaker 3: kind of the way to do it.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious too, just looking now. Again, we always
- 11:53Speaker 2: tie this together and sort of it bleeds into each
- 11:55Speaker 2: other and blends. But I don't see a lot of
- 11:56Speaker 2: love for Bijon right now. I don't know if it's
- 11:59Speaker 2: because Tyler year as we gett in the mix so
- 12:01Speaker 2: much lately, like we've seen that type of thing where
- 12:03Speaker 2: people are sort of scared of it a little bit.
- 12:04Speaker 2: I think that's interesting because he would fit that stack,
- 12:07Speaker 2: but also be a you know, a ceiling piece that
- 12:09Speaker 2: could happen on the other side that would that would
- 12:12Speaker 2: blend into that. And then it's also interesting that I
- 12:15Speaker 2: see Breeze Hall's ownership up there quite a way as well.
- 12:18Speaker 2: And I don't know if it's because originally people thought
- 12:20Speaker 2: they were going to go that way instead of Tyrod,
- 12:22Speaker 2: it's because you can obviously afford them all together. How
- 12:25Speaker 2: do you sort of see those pieces blending into the
- 12:27Speaker 2: mix of that one Because talked a little bit on
- 12:29Speaker 2: Straut already, and he'll sort of be talked about more
- 12:31Speaker 2: when we get to wide receiver with Higgins and Collins
- 12:33Speaker 2: and those guys.
- 12:34Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I've got Breece as the second most
- 12:36Speaker 3: popular play on the slate, probably going to get to
- 12:38Speaker 3: thirty percent, maybe even higher in high stake stuff. I
- 12:42Speaker 3: think Beijon is going to be up there among the
- 12:44Speaker 3: running backs, but I only have him at nineteen point
- 12:48Speaker 3: four percent in single entries right now. The main reason
- 12:51Speaker 3: for that is I have dvon ah chan as just
- 12:54Speaker 3: absurdly so we've got fifty eight point two percent for
- 12:57Speaker 3: a chance single entry ownership this week going to be
- 13:00Speaker 3: really really high, And again that's just kind of a
- 13:03Speaker 3: product of there are no obvious spots for offenses. New
- 13:06Speaker 3: Orleans pretty good matchup for running backs, and eight Chan
- 13:08Speaker 3: has kind of done it against everyone.
- 13:10Speaker 4: And the thing with a Chan is like he.
- 13:13Speaker 3: He obviously is gamescript independent because of how much he
- 13:17Speaker 3: does in the receiving game, but this is one of
- 13:20Speaker 3: the only times where we can actually, you know, somewhat
- 13:23Speaker 3: confidently say A Chan is going to have a game
- 13:26Speaker 3: script where he should be force fed over and over.
- 13:29Speaker 4: And over again, and they're not going to have to
- 13:30Speaker 4: try to push the ball downfield. They're not gonna have
- 13:32Speaker 4: to try to just drop back and throw all the time.
- 13:34Speaker 3: So you know, the chance that he breaks off another
- 13:37Speaker 3: explosive run is a little bit higher just because he's
- 13:39Speaker 3: going to get more carries in this one than what
- 13:41Speaker 3: we've seen in a lot of games where he's kind
- 13:43Speaker 3: of been game scripted.
- 13:44Speaker 4: Out in that way.
- 13:44Speaker 3: So I think people are really going to flock to him.
- 13:47Speaker 3: He's also a little bit cheaper than the other like
- 13:51Speaker 3: real real studs on the slate, like the Jonathan Taylor's
- 13:53Speaker 3: and JSN, So part of the reason why Beijon's quote
- 13:58Speaker 3: unquote only twenty ish percent is because so many people
- 14:01Speaker 3: are going to go to a Chan, right, And.
- 14:03Speaker 2: I love that, by the way, that's the best part.
- 14:05Speaker 2: The way you said it is actually perfect too, because
- 14:07Speaker 2: we're like, oh, he's twenty percent. So many people actually
- 14:09Speaker 2: see it as the other way, like he's chopped right.
- 14:11Speaker 2: They just assume at twenty percent, it's like eighty percent
- 14:14Speaker 2: is not playing him, and he's when he's eighteen to
- 14:17Speaker 2: twenty in the higher dollars smaller field or even just
- 14:19Speaker 2: smaller field stuff in general, like we're talking about single
- 14:21Speaker 2: entry here. That matters when the other guy is forty
- 14:24Speaker 2: to fifty at the two hundred bucks more in a
- 14:26Speaker 2: different spot obviously, but just looking at it from that perspective,
- 14:28Speaker 2: you can build differently. What if you had a a
- 14:30Speaker 2: Tua build right with Tua and the pass catchers with Robinson,
- 14:34Speaker 2: It's like, now you're saying, I'm taking the dude that
- 14:37Speaker 2: was gonna be a Chan there for that price, I'm
- 14:39Speaker 2: putting Bijeon, but I'm flipping it and I'm putting Miami
- 14:42Speaker 2: passing attack around it, where even though yes they're maybe
- 14:45Speaker 2: a little ownership attached, it's not anywhere near the you know,
- 14:47Speaker 2: forty to fifty percent you're gonna see on a chan
- 14:49Speaker 2: So little things like that, we'll circle back. We're gonna
- 14:52Speaker 2: continue circling around some of these positional stuff that we
- 14:54Speaker 2: see that are forming the common build. Somebody mentioned the
- 14:57Speaker 2: Breeze Hall the cash carry over. Yes, I think you're
- 15:00Speaker 2: there's also something interesting to it, and we usually do
- 15:02Speaker 2: this in the second segment just given some of these ideas. Now,
- 15:04Speaker 2: but like if you wanted to go Tyrod, you still can.
- 15:07Speaker 2: It's just you might have to go like Tyrod Breese
- 15:10Speaker 2: one of Mitchell and Metchi with Mason Taylor, or skip
- 15:14Speaker 2: the wide receivers where most are going with Taylor, Go Taylor,
- 15:18Speaker 2: haul Taylor, Hall Taylor and do it that way right,
- 15:22Speaker 2: and you skip around and you can get Breeze Hall
- 15:24Speaker 2: in there with the quarterback and the tight end, none
- 15:26Speaker 2: of those cheap wide receivers that most are using to
- 15:29Speaker 2: make it all work and then make some decisions within
- 15:31Speaker 2: that game on the other side. So definitely think there's
- 15:33Speaker 2: some interesting ways to go there. Another one, this one
- 15:35Speaker 2: kind of leeds back to the Herbert mentioned at quarterback,
- 15:38Speaker 2: is are you seeing Gadson getting as much seam as
- 15:41Speaker 2: I am right now at tight end, Like, is that
- 15:43Speaker 2: sort of what you're seeing.
- 15:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got him in the he and Kyle Pitts
- 15:47Speaker 3: right at nineteen percent leading the way it tight ends,
- 15:50Speaker 3: it's it could go either way here, And I think
- 15:53Speaker 3: one of the big factors in ownership is how many
- 15:57Speaker 3: people actually go to Herbert. If Herbert gets to fifteen percent,
- 16:00Speaker 3: Gadsden might get to twenty five or thirty. If Herbert
- 16:03Speaker 3: stays down at eight or nine percent, then Gadsden might
- 16:06Speaker 3: be as low as ten to fifteen. So there's a
- 16:09Speaker 3: really wide range of outcomes on the ownerships at tight
- 16:12Speaker 3: end this week, I think that's it's probably like the
- 16:15Speaker 3: least certain I've been for a kind of overall position
- 16:17Speaker 3: group in quite a while in these main sleeps.
- 16:19Speaker 2: Well, what I see this is what's interesting about is
- 16:21Speaker 2: like it's the wide receivers for the chargers are kind
- 16:25Speaker 2: of being held in check. So it really to me,
- 16:28Speaker 2: it's funny. It's like the I think the Herbert steam
- 16:32Speaker 2: depends on the Gadson steam, like almost how we've seen
- 16:35Speaker 2: in the past with like a defense pushing up a
- 16:37Speaker 2: running back or a running back bringing up a defense
- 16:39Speaker 2: later on. It's like, that's the situation here is it
- 16:42Speaker 2: feels like nobody really is in love with anybody at
- 16:44Speaker 2: tight end. We don't have the situation where, you know,
- 16:48Speaker 2: right now when they move mcbright up to seventy eight
- 16:50Speaker 2: hundred and Harrison's coming back and all this that was
- 16:53Speaker 2: sort of announced before this. It was expected anyway, but
- 16:55Speaker 2: it looks like he's gonna be good to go off
- 16:57Speaker 2: the appendicitis or whatever. So just looking for Arizona Bride
- 17:00Speaker 2: at seventy eight hundred is not the same as McBride
- 17:03Speaker 2: at sixty eight hundred and super appetizing when nobody else
- 17:05Speaker 2: is on the site that anybody cares about. If Gadson
- 17:08Speaker 2: does continue to be popular and steam up, that just
- 17:11Speaker 2: leads to it. And it kind of is this shout
- 17:13Speaker 2: out to my guy Kenny again. But he said, Tyrod
- 17:15Speaker 2: Breeze stop is fine too, and assume they run, that's
- 17:19Speaker 2: really all they want to do. I actually agree one
- 17:21Speaker 2: hundred percent what I think though, just my opinion and
- 17:25Speaker 2: doing some builds beforehand, it's not easy to stop. And
- 17:28Speaker 2: it's like, you know, you go for a you know,
- 17:31Speaker 2: one of those chocolate chip cookies during the holiday season,
- 17:33Speaker 2: like I could have another one. It's the holidays. It's
- 17:35Speaker 2: like as soon as you get the opportunity to put
- 17:37Speaker 2: one of Mechi or Mitchell in there, you're like, man,
- 17:40Speaker 2: now I can really get it all. And hopefully that's
- 17:42Speaker 2: different enough. So I think people have trouble setting that limit,
- 17:45Speaker 2: Alex up putting that stop and just saying one cookie limit.
- 17:48Speaker 2: They want to go back for the second. And that's
- 17:50Speaker 2: the tricky part because it makes everything look really good
- 17:52Speaker 2: and it still correlates, and that's what people want. So
- 17:55Speaker 2: I don't know if you want to add anything else
- 17:56Speaker 2: to that or anything more that you think of missing.
- 17:58Speaker 2: Maybe defense we could add hit on quickly, but to
- 18:01Speaker 2: add on, but anything else you see or anything else
- 18:03Speaker 2: you want to bring up there?
- 18:03Speaker 4: Yeah, two things there. The first on the on the
- 18:05Speaker 4: charger stuff.
- 18:06Speaker 3: I do think QJ and LADD could get ownership to,
- 18:10Speaker 3: you know, fifteen percent is if Herbert Sacks become popular.
- 18:14Speaker 3: I think what we're seeing is most Herbert Stacks would
- 18:18Speaker 3: be Herbert Gadsden and one of the receivers. And because
- 18:22Speaker 3: of that, you can't get any of those receivers to
- 18:24Speaker 3: like mega chalk or anything close to that. It could
- 18:28Speaker 3: mean that the smarter way to do it is either
- 18:30Speaker 3: triple stack or just double with receivers and go lad
- 18:33Speaker 3: In QJ. But I think the most popular is going
- 18:37Speaker 3: to be Herbert QJ and Gadsden because then you have
- 18:40Speaker 3: both of those pass catchers under five thousand dollars and
- 18:43Speaker 3: you're turning a Herbert stack, which feels like it's you know,
- 18:47Speaker 3: one of the more expensive stacks because Herbert is typically expensive,
- 18:50Speaker 3: and you're turning it into one of the cheaper stacks
- 18:53Speaker 3: on the slate with those pass catchers.
- 18:55Speaker 4: So I could see that being pretty popular.
- 18:56Speaker 3: Then that would get brought back, you know, probably with
- 19:00Speaker 3: either Gene or maybe people would go double tight end
- 19:02Speaker 3: with Bowers. You could also then do you know Herbert QJ,
- 19:07Speaker 3: Ladd and now Bowers is the obvious bringback And you're saying, okay, well,
- 19:10Speaker 3: what if Bowers really separates from the tight end position,
- 19:12Speaker 3: which means Gadsden doesn't do a whole lot, so.
- 19:14Speaker 4: That would make sense.
- 19:16Speaker 3: The other thing I'd say on the Jets stuff, this
- 19:19Speaker 3: is not a slate where I want to mess with
- 19:21Speaker 3: something like Tyrod and breeze and stop. Because what we're
- 19:25Speaker 3: saying when we talk about this slate being potentially a
- 19:28Speaker 3: lot more low scoring. Is it's going to be harder
- 19:30Speaker 3: to find all of the one offs that just hit
- 19:33Speaker 3: in succession, right, And so if that's the case, you
- 19:36Speaker 3: don't want to build a lineup that relies on your
- 19:39Speaker 3: ability to hit one one off after another.
- 19:42Speaker 4: You want as much correlation as you can get.
- 19:44Speaker 3: So if anything, I'd go the opposite direction, and I'd overstack,
- 19:48Speaker 3: and I'd say not just Tyrod Mitchell and Mechi, but
- 19:52Speaker 3: also give me Breeze Hall.
- 19:53Speaker 4: And now, if the Jets happen.
- 19:54Speaker 3: To be one of the higher scoring offenses on the slate,
- 19:56Speaker 3: which ordinarily is really really unlikely on this slate, it
- 19:59Speaker 3: wouldn't be totally shocking.
- 20:01Speaker 4: Now you're really kind of cooking with gas.
- 20:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see it in a couple different ways.
- 20:05Speaker 2: One I see like, especially from a just like start
- 20:08Speaker 2: off point and get it right for ten thy three hundred.
- 20:10Speaker 2: I mean this one a million maker with Justin Fields
- 20:13Speaker 2: and Breesaw. Earlier in the season, when I had this
- 20:15Speaker 2: exact conversation, and I had had those too, it was
- 20:18Speaker 2: myself score up. Patrol and Mayo were talking about it.
- 20:20Speaker 2: They weren't as high on it either, But I was
- 20:22Speaker 2: like you're getting two for you know, ten point three k.
- 20:25Speaker 2: I think you could do that, but then you don't
- 20:26Speaker 2: have to figure it out. But to your point, like,
- 20:28Speaker 2: there's also so many scenarios here. I think, like Tyrod Mechi, Mitchell,
- 20:32Speaker 2: Taylor and then use Bijon on the other side, and
- 20:36Speaker 2: that's five spots you get to bury. And it's like,
- 20:38Speaker 2: that's just not how other people are playing it. It
- 20:40Speaker 2: double leverages Breese with like the Briesse ownership, you know,
- 20:44Speaker 2: spread out amongst a four man like a triple with Taylor.
- 20:47Speaker 2: It's still super affordable because forty three, thirty eight, thirty
- 20:50Speaker 2: six and thirty three for four guys. And even if
- 20:53Speaker 2: you didn't put Bijeon in there, I'm just saying, if
- 20:54Speaker 2: you wanted to speed it up, I would, I'd kind
- 20:56Speaker 2: of do it that way. You could do something else.
- 20:58Speaker 2: You'd have room for Mech sorry for Mooney if you
- 21:01Speaker 2: want to. If you wanted to triple, M's right the
- 21:04Speaker 2: Millie Maker mix down. You got Mechi, Mitchell Mooney right
- 21:07Speaker 2: up the middle, so you get the m stack up
- 21:09Speaker 2: the middle, and then you can do it that way.
- 21:11Speaker 2: I mean, there's a few different ways you could do it,
- 21:12Speaker 2: but that's gonna be. The way to get different on
- 21:15Speaker 2: this slate is to just go a little bit further
- 21:18Speaker 2: than the certainty of others out there where they say
- 21:20Speaker 2: I think this is the case. You're gonna say, yeah,
- 21:23Speaker 2: it could be, But I think it's gonna go even further,
- 21:25Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna mess around with a bunch of
- 21:26Speaker 2: different games. Last couple things before we get to the
- 21:30Speaker 2: next box, we're already kind of getting into the ways
- 21:32Speaker 2: that we could leverage to come and build. Here is
- 21:34Speaker 2: what is your take on Jonathan Taylor. He got a
- 21:37Speaker 2: price drop this week two hundred bucks less. He's not
- 21:39Speaker 2: ten k anymore, he's ninety eight hundred. But if you
- 21:42Speaker 2: look from you know the spot he is in that
- 21:44Speaker 2: Houston game, it can work. What sort of your thoughts
- 21:48Speaker 2: on that just as a running back one off or
- 21:50Speaker 2: to make that game stack work? How are you seeing it?
- 21:53Speaker 4: I don't really have much interest here. Houston is just
- 21:56Speaker 4: such a good defense.
- 21:56Speaker 3: You're you're relying on the explosive plays, You're on a
- 22:00Speaker 3: lot of touchdown equity, and I just don't know that
- 22:03Speaker 3: they can score enough to give Taylor that opportunity. Houston
- 22:07Speaker 3: is one of the best defenses in football, and the
- 22:11Speaker 3: one thing that they have been slightly vulnerable to is explosives.
- 22:15Speaker 3: So it's not like the worst idea in the world
- 22:18Speaker 3: to go to Jonathan Taylor. But we're talking about one
- 22:20Speaker 3: of the absolute best defenses in the league, and probably
- 22:22Speaker 3: the best from a success rate standpoint.
- 22:24Speaker 4: So it's not going to be for me.
- 22:25Speaker 3: But if I was stacking Houston, it makes a little
- 22:29Speaker 3: bit more sense. He breaks the eighty arder. Now it
- 22:32Speaker 3: forces Stroud to throw a little bit more. It gets
- 22:34Speaker 3: in the ball right back, So at least the correlation
- 22:36Speaker 3: aspect makes a lot of sense with within a game
- 22:38Speaker 3: sack there, But no interest.
- 22:40Speaker 4: For me other than that.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Okay, and then the only other place we didn't really
- 22:43Speaker 2: touch on we said we'd circle back to it just
- 22:45Speaker 2: because you know, we talked a little bit about Nico
- 22:47Speaker 2: Collins and Higgins fitting that build and people being comfortable
- 22:50Speaker 2: with that. I guess for right now, you could say,
- 22:53Speaker 2: like I could see a lot of builds that have
- 22:54Speaker 2: like Stroud, maybe it's Higgins just as much, or I
- 22:59Speaker 2: mean overall, I think see more on Collins, but I'm
- 23:01Speaker 2: saying it's just the Higgins part will just make so
- 23:02Speaker 2: much sense because he fits it and he's cheap, so
- 23:04Speaker 2: I can see that. But if you put those two,
- 23:06Speaker 2: it's gonna be breeze hall a Chan and then sort
- 23:09Speaker 2: of move around from there, and then we've already hit
- 23:10Speaker 2: on some of those spots on how we can leverage them.
- 23:12Speaker 2: We'll go through that in segment number two. But is
- 23:14Speaker 2: there other stuff at wide receiver that you're seeing like
- 23:18Speaker 2: pooka versus JSN, the wattle stuff, you know, is there
- 23:21Speaker 2: other things that you're seeing at the wide receiver spot
- 23:24Speaker 2: that you think will be important to touch on here?
- 23:26Speaker 3: Well, I think let's just stay with this Houston offense
- 23:29Speaker 3: for a second, because Indianapolis on the year has been
- 23:32Speaker 3: one of the worst matchups possible for wide receiver ones
- 23:35Speaker 3: four point four fantasy points per game.
- 23:37Speaker 4: Below those wide.
- 23:38Speaker 3: Receiver one averages, they've been great for wide receiver twos
- 23:41Speaker 3: and other wide receivers plus six point one fantasy points
- 23:43Speaker 3: per game and plus three point nine that's according to
- 23:45Speaker 3: our deba, just the fantasy points against data over at FTEN.
- 23:49Speaker 3: The problem is now so Scarner's in town, Antravarious Ward
- 23:52Speaker 3: is back, and so I no longer feel confident attacking
- 23:57Speaker 3: them with the quote unquote wide receiver two, Pably Higgins
- 24:00Speaker 3: for Houston. I guess I'd still be a little bit
- 24:03Speaker 3: confident in the wide receiver three call it Christian Kirk.
- 24:06Speaker 3: The problem is it's just now so much easier for
- 24:09Speaker 3: them to defend the entire field than it was when
- 24:12Speaker 3: only one cornerback. Traveria's ward was really good. So I'm
- 24:16Speaker 3: a little bit hesitant and personally, like, I just think
- 24:19Speaker 3: this is a kind of an easy fade, not just
- 24:21Speaker 3: from an ownership perspective, but also I think we can
- 24:23Speaker 3: do better from an expectation standpoint, which is why, like
- 24:26Speaker 3: this is the kind of slight I love, because we
- 24:28Speaker 3: actually get chalk that I think is a lot more
- 24:30Speaker 3: fragile than most of the chalk that we've seen this year.
- 24:32Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm I kind of think that's where i'd start.
- 24:37Speaker 3: And that also makes an Eco Collins a pretty rough play,
- 24:39Speaker 3: and we actually have an Eco Collins as one of
- 24:41Speaker 3: the most popular wide receiver plays on the slate I
- 24:44Speaker 3: mentioned earlier, Like, I think people are going to come
- 24:46Speaker 3: down a little bit from Pooka and JSN just because
- 24:48Speaker 3: those are big price tags ninety five hundred dollars on
- 24:51Speaker 3: a slate where it's not easy to find value. So
- 24:54Speaker 3: going to a wide receiver one that you feel like
- 24:56Speaker 3: he has the same upside as a nine thousand dollars receiver,
- 25:00Speaker 3: gettinghim for sixty seven hundred dollars that seems like the
- 25:02Speaker 3: you know, a very prototypical move that the field is
- 25:04Speaker 3: gonna make.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Yeah, and our man aids he was in it on
- 25:08Speaker 2: your point earlier to kind of nails it again. I mean,
- 25:10Speaker 2: the overstacks have been crushing. You've been on this all
- 25:12Speaker 2: season long. We've we've been on them for leverage lane
- 25:14Speaker 2: pieces at the end. It could be again today, but
- 25:16Speaker 2: just noting it. It's like a lot of people, even
- 25:18Speaker 2: though they're gonna correlate well and feel good about what
- 25:20Speaker 2: they're doing, there is gonna be like a one two
- 25:23Speaker 2: three stop uh secondary one two secondary one two defense fits. Oh,
- 25:28Speaker 2: and they correlate with the running back. Oh, it feels
- 25:30Speaker 2: really good. But then it could just be like one
- 25:32Speaker 2: two three four five one two three one and that
- 25:36Speaker 2: kind of finishes the job if people get what I'm saying,
- 25:38Speaker 2: So like that, that's kind of the setup I'm seeing
- 25:40Speaker 2: as well. And again, will it feel it'll it should
- 25:44Speaker 2: feel good on paper because you're like it's not like
- 25:45Speaker 2: you want to feel completely comfortable, but I'm saying you're
- 25:47Speaker 2: you're overstacked, but you're like, at least I'm still in
- 25:49Speaker 2: a good spot. It's just that's gonna be the thing
- 25:51Speaker 2: where when others are like, oh, I got two of
- 25:53Speaker 2: the three pieces right, but or two pieces right, but
- 25:56Speaker 2: I needed three or four pieces there, it's like I
- 25:58Speaker 2: missed on the other two or whatever it might be.
- 26:00Speaker 2: That's kind of how we look at that. Just of
- 26:01Speaker 2: note too, I'm skipping ahead again, but I actually don't
- 26:04Speaker 2: think the Colts D is that bad at thirty one hundred,
- 26:07Speaker 2: if you're talking about just leveraging Houston completely, like you
- 26:09Speaker 2: said about some of the other stuff and what they
- 26:11Speaker 2: have available there. I know on paper it might not
- 26:13Speaker 2: look as good, but in general could definitely be a
- 26:16Speaker 2: spot there, especially if they can pick off those other
- 26:18Speaker 2: wide receiver spots. It's like, Okay, throw it to Christian Kirk,
- 26:21Speaker 2: let's see how that works out for you, and we'll
- 26:23Speaker 2: take our chances. Let's see how that looks. You never
- 26:25Speaker 2: know that that could be a good set up there.
- 26:27Speaker 4: Yeah. I like that bell for sure.
- 26:29Speaker 2: Anything else at the like JSN versus Pooka versus you know,
- 26:32Speaker 2: some of the higher price guys or anything else there
- 26:35Speaker 2: that you wanted to mention. They both look like they're
- 26:37Speaker 2: being at least a little bit held in check, but
- 26:38Speaker 2: obviously people will be able to spend up. People really
- 26:41Speaker 2: struggled with the nine K and above price tag on
- 26:44Speaker 2: JSN last week and obviously killed them. But you were
- 26:47Speaker 2: dead hun with that one. He's ninety five hundred here Again,
- 26:51Speaker 2: his bad games look like most people's ceiling games, So
- 26:53Speaker 2: that's the key with him. And then I guess, just
- 26:56Speaker 2: to mention the Puka situation, I don't know, like he's
- 26:59Speaker 2: nine K and people seems scared. I know there shows
- 27:01Speaker 2: the ownership, but I wonder if these DeVonta Adams touchdowns
- 27:04Speaker 2: are worrying people more and more as they see him
- 27:06Speaker 2: continue to get what was it, five touchdowns and like,
- 27:09Speaker 2: you know, very limited yardage. He's just getting the short,
- 27:12Speaker 2: short yardage touchdowns. Many thoughts, So.
- 27:15Speaker 4: Let's talk about JASM for a second.
- 27:17Speaker 3: I think this is a really good conversation to have
- 27:19Speaker 3: when when we talk about the JYSN game last week
- 27:22Speaker 3: being a good call, I think it's important to realize,
- 27:24Speaker 3: like what made that a good call was not that
- 27:26Speaker 3: I thought Jaysn is going to have a huge game
- 27:29Speaker 3: today and we should play him, and said it was
- 27:31Speaker 3: correct about the ownership. I had the ownership at ten
- 27:34Speaker 3: percent or below. He came in like eight percent in
- 27:36Speaker 3: a lot of single entries, especially in higher stake stuff.
- 27:39Speaker 3: That's the part that was really impactful to be right,
- 27:42Speaker 3: because then it's not a question of what is Jasn
- 27:45Speaker 3: going to do, it's there's just no reason for a
- 27:48Speaker 3: guy with this much upside, with this probability of a
- 27:51Speaker 3: thirty point game, a thirty five point game, a forty
- 27:53Speaker 3: point game like we actually saw, there's no reason for
- 27:56Speaker 3: that guy to be this lowanned. If he had been
- 27:59Speaker 3: twenty percent and on last week, I wouldn't have been
- 28:01Speaker 3: on it, because again I was not predicting a forty
- 28:04Speaker 3: point performance. I wasn't saying he's going to have a
- 28:06Speaker 3: great game. I was saying, this guy's so productive, he
- 28:09Speaker 3: has such a high probability of having that really good game,
- 28:13Speaker 3: that he shouldn't be this low owned. This week, we've
- 28:15Speaker 3: got him projected a nineteen percent in single entries, and
- 28:19Speaker 3: I think I'm one of the few who's actually projecting
- 28:21Speaker 3: him below the Pookah ownership I've got Pooka at twenty one,
- 28:24Speaker 3: JSN at nineteen.
- 28:26Speaker 4: I think a lot of people are kind of the
- 28:27Speaker 4: other way around.
- 28:28Speaker 3: But so for me, like they're just both at a
- 28:31Speaker 3: point where it's a little bit higher than I won,
- 28:34Speaker 3: and I'd rather build a more balanced lineup, or I'd
- 28:38Speaker 3: rather go to an expensive running back something like that.
- 28:40Speaker 4: So I don't think I'm going to be on either
- 28:43Speaker 4: of these guys.
- 28:43Speaker 3: But it's also a case where right now they're both
- 28:45Speaker 3: projected around twenty what happens if tonight or tomorrow morning
- 28:49Speaker 3: that changes to one of the guys that's gonna be
- 28:50Speaker 3: undred fifteen percent the other's going to be twenty five
- 28:52Speaker 3: to thirty. Well, now I have suddenly a lot of
- 28:55Speaker 3: interest in the guy who I think is going to
- 28:56Speaker 3: be lower.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what we're gonna have to wait and see.
- 28:59Speaker 2: Like you said, more over the weekend. Here it's just
- 29:01Speaker 2: Saturday morning, but we'll get some more details and upside
- 29:04Speaker 2: on the ownership information. But it doesn't look like anyone's
- 29:09Speaker 2: really stacking them. That'd be my standout point. I don't
- 29:11Speaker 2: know if you do anything else you want to talk about.
- 29:12Speaker 2: If not, we could start going through some of these
- 29:14Speaker 2: ways to leverage the common build. I think we're pretty
- 29:16Speaker 2: clear on what that looks like now from just breaking
- 29:18Speaker 2: it down. If any weren't following, it's clearly the Houston
- 29:21Speaker 2: stuff as far as the Stroud passing attack, maybe some Tyrod,
- 29:24Speaker 2: maybe some Herbert, the stuff that fits in. Someone who
- 29:26Speaker 2: doesn't play Herbert necessarily might still play at Gadson as
- 29:30Speaker 2: a spot there to get a piece of that. And
- 29:31Speaker 2: then it's a Breese Hall. You're gonna have a Chan,
- 29:33Speaker 2: you're gonna have you know, some of those other guys
- 29:35Speaker 2: that we talked about up the middle as far as
- 29:36Speaker 2: wide receivers go, if you if they got the money
- 29:38Speaker 2: to spend, but one thing I was gonna add just
- 29:41Speaker 2: to those higher priced wide receivers, I think you've got
- 29:43Speaker 2: it right. Pook ahead of JSN as far as ownership goes,
- 29:46Speaker 2: JSN much higher than last week because people will just
- 29:49Speaker 2: which is a product of the previous point as well.
- 29:52Speaker 2: By the way, when people aren't overstacking necessarily, unless they
- 29:55Speaker 2: go to the cheaper over stacks, I don't know if
- 29:57Speaker 2: they'll have the money or that's how they'll they will
- 29:59Speaker 2: spend the money is like one two three cheap enough
- 30:03Speaker 2: one two cheap enough, and then I can fit JSN
- 30:05Speaker 2: and they'll feel good about that build versus the overstack
- 30:07Speaker 2: that can still fit them as a one off and
- 30:09Speaker 2: do it that way. But I was just gonna add
- 30:12Speaker 2: I don't see Darnald or Stafford getting very much ownership
- 30:16Speaker 2: right now. Again, price is important and all that, but
- 30:19Speaker 2: if those receivers have their bigger games, it's always nice
- 30:22Speaker 2: to have the quarterback attached, especially if you have so
- 30:25Speaker 2: much uncertainty on the slate. Why not do it that
- 30:26Speaker 2: way where that could be what leads to it and
- 30:28Speaker 2: those could be twenty five to thirty point outputs for
- 30:31Speaker 2: the quarterback that goes with them. Anything to add on
- 30:33Speaker 2: that one, and if dots some other ways you see
- 30:35Speaker 2: to leverage the common build.
- 30:36Speaker 3: Now, none on that specifically, but one last thing on
- 30:40Speaker 3: the common build I think that that's worth noting.
- 30:42Speaker 4: Is remember that one of the three quarterbacks that we.
- 30:45Speaker 3: Just talked about there is potentially being really popular as
- 30:47Speaker 3: Tyrod Taylor. So anyone who decides no, I want Stroud
- 30:50Speaker 3: or no I want Herbert instead of the Tyrod stack, well,
- 30:54Speaker 3: they now become even more likely to go choose Breeze Haw.
- 30:56Speaker 3: So for me, I think the common build is a
- 30:59Speaker 3: Stroud double, probably Nico Collins involved in that, and then
- 31:02Speaker 3: Chen and let's throw Breese Hall on.
- 31:04Speaker 4: There as well.
- 31:05Speaker 3: So that to me is what we're leveraging. It's the
- 31:07Speaker 3: Stroud double or the Herbert double with Chan and Breese Hall.
- 31:12Speaker 2: Yes, I like that call quite a bit. And that's
- 31:14Speaker 2: where even like I think it's interesting because that's where
- 31:15Speaker 2: I said, I see, like the Gadson stuff can even
- 31:17Speaker 2: still get into that because if people are going it
- 31:20Speaker 2: could be Collins with Higgins and then stopping it there,
- 31:23Speaker 2: but then that still leaves a tight end block open
- 31:25Speaker 2: to it for a onesie positions like well, if I'm
- 31:28Speaker 2: not on Tyrod, I throw Breese Hall on the running back.
- 31:30Speaker 2: If I'm not on Herbert, I throw Gadson into the
- 31:33Speaker 2: tight end spot. And these are just like you said,
- 31:35Speaker 2: it's very fragile chalk, which sounds like an oxymoron this
- 31:40Speaker 2: season because it's been like, you know, every time see
- 31:42Speaker 2: it feels like it, But we've shown plenty of times
- 31:43Speaker 2: where it's like, man, the end of the day, there's
- 31:45Speaker 2: been a lot of weeks where three chalk pieces smashed
- 31:48Speaker 2: and three did not, So you kind of got to
- 31:50Speaker 2: look at it from that perspective as well. Yeah, and
- 31:53Speaker 2: Nate said, this is still still ce j Stratas's talk
- 31:55Speaker 2: about the indie stuff. Any thoughts on this one. Kenny's
- 31:59Speaker 2: got some good stuff here too. I mean your JSN
- 32:00Speaker 2: thought from last week. I'd like tell you framed it
- 32:02Speaker 2: up because again, so many people go off calls based
- 32:05Speaker 2: on results oriented things. It wasn't like you said, when
- 32:08Speaker 2: you get him in there at eight percent, it's not
- 32:10Speaker 2: really a matter of what he's going to do he's JSN,
- 32:14Speaker 2: it's what is he going to do and how much
- 32:16Speaker 2: is that going to matter? Well, massive amounts when ninety
- 32:18Speaker 2: two percent of the field doesn't have him. It's such
- 32:21Speaker 2: a massive separator with someone who has the probability, like
- 32:24Speaker 2: you said, of of putting up such a high ceiling.
- 32:27Speaker 2: And that's what makes a ton of sense. Do you
- 32:29Speaker 2: have any thoughts on the CMC spot right out of
- 32:31Speaker 2: the gate here, because Kenny brings up a good point
- 32:33Speaker 2: and at ninety three hundred, you know the way people
- 32:36Speaker 2: are spending this week, it looks like people are spending
- 32:38Speaker 2: that money at wide receiver if they're going to I
- 32:42Speaker 2: think the.
- 32:42Speaker 3: Idea is really sound and I do agree that I
- 32:45Speaker 3: think McCaffrey's going to be ten percent, kind of right
- 32:48Speaker 3: in that JSN range from last week, also in the
- 32:51Speaker 3: range that we really nailed Gibbs a few weeks ago
- 32:54Speaker 3: against Washington when he and that forty point explosion. So
- 32:57Speaker 3: we've got a really good track record of finding these
- 32:59Speaker 3: ten percent superstuds. But I don't think mccaffery's going to
- 33:04Speaker 3: be that guy for me this week. And one of
- 33:06Speaker 3: the main reasons is you just kind of look through
- 33:08Speaker 3: what he has done this season. His success is incredibly
- 33:12Speaker 3: correlated to the strength of the matchup, right, Like his
- 33:15Speaker 3: only two bad games, the Rams one of the best
- 33:17Speaker 3: defenses in the league seventeen point six Houston one of
- 33:20Speaker 3: the best defense in the league. We just talked about
- 33:22Speaker 3: this was Jonathan Taylor nine point eight Fantasy points that game.
- 33:25Speaker 3: Cleveland is a really really difficult matchup. They're in an
- 33:28Speaker 3: excellent defense, And to me, it's it doesn't mean that
- 33:32Speaker 3: like they're going to be able to shut down McCaffery,
- 33:34Speaker 3: they're going to be able to take away what he does.
- 33:36Speaker 4: It's just those you know, fifteen twenty yard receptions become
- 33:42Speaker 4: five to ten yard receptions. The likelihood that he breaks
- 33:45Speaker 4: a twenty yard run or a seventeen yard run and
- 33:47Speaker 4: turns it into a touchdown, just goes way down. So
- 33:50Speaker 4: I just think his his outlook is a lot lower
- 33:53Speaker 4: this week than most and in particular, like it's not
- 33:55Speaker 4: necessarily his median outcome that's moving a ton, it's the
- 33:58Speaker 4: ceiling outcome that's moving a ton, And so I'm not
- 34:01Speaker 4: going to be super interested in him at ninety three hundred.
- 34:03Speaker 4: I don't think that. Also, I believe is one of
- 34:05Speaker 4: the actual worst weather games. Was that correct?
- 34:07Speaker 2: Tambla, Oh, you're looking for the weather now, and it's
- 34:10Speaker 2: just it says right now, decent chance for some rain
- 34:13Speaker 2: sustained wins around twenty miles an hour GUS pushing up
- 34:16Speaker 2: to thirty five. So you think that's gonna affect for
- 34:20Speaker 2: you know, in Cleveland too, Like I said, colder and
- 34:22Speaker 2: all of that, that can definitely be a factor for sure.
- 34:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean so like to me that lets this
- 34:26Speaker 3: really aggressive Cleveland defense be even more aggressive because they
- 34:30Speaker 3: don't have to defend the deep ball as much as
- 34:32Speaker 3: they otherwise would. So maybe things aren't quite as open
- 34:35Speaker 3: underneath for McCaffrey. But more than anything else, like it
- 34:37Speaker 3: just changes the overall scoring environment, right, Like McCaffrey, because
- 34:41Speaker 3: he's such a massive part of the offense, his production
- 34:45Speaker 3: is going to very closely mirror the production of the
- 34:48Speaker 3: offense overall.
- 34:49Speaker 4: So if you cut the scoring.
- 34:50Speaker 3: In half from the San Francisco offense compared to what
- 34:52Speaker 3: they've done in recent games, well, that's going to have
- 34:54Speaker 3: a similar effect on McCaffrey's expected fantasy points. So I
- 34:59Speaker 3: really like the concept that really like the idea of
- 35:01Speaker 3: just finding, hey, who's who's one of the guys with
- 35:04Speaker 3: thirty five percent or with a with thirty five point
- 35:06Speaker 3: upside who's going to be ten percent or below. McCaffrey
- 35:09Speaker 3: obviously fits that bill this week, So if anyone wants
- 35:11Speaker 3: to play it, I'm not going to be a post
- 35:13Speaker 3: to that whatsoever. It's just probably not gonna be where
- 35:15Speaker 3: I'm going to go because I don't think, yeah, look.
- 35:16Speaker 2: Is that good this week? And again focusing on the
- 35:18Speaker 2: fact that we're talking about single entry, you know specific
- 35:20Speaker 2: you know you can do. It's not that you can't
- 35:22Speaker 2: do that, obviously you can do that. Like he just said,
- 35:23Speaker 2: you get him at a low ownership, you have the
- 35:26Speaker 2: opportunity for thirty five plus definitely, just like Alex has
- 35:28Speaker 2: not his spot this week, but you could do it.
- 35:30Speaker 2: But I mean in a portfolio, I'm definitely mixing him in.
- 35:32Speaker 2: Like somebody said, he could have ten catches this week,
- 35:34Speaker 2: and that stuff can really rack up. He's completely different
- 35:37Speaker 2: than those around him, most that have somebody even if
- 35:39Speaker 2: they are going in that range. I'm not saying this
- 35:41Speaker 2: can be a higher ownership. It might be though, just
- 35:43Speaker 2: because it correlates with the Stroud stuff, but I think
- 35:45Speaker 2: more spending up all the way past a Chan and
- 35:48Speaker 2: Robinson and those guys go to JT because he fits
- 35:51Speaker 2: the Higgins with with you know, Collins, with Stroud, with
- 35:54Speaker 2: all of that. So I think one thing interesting thing
- 35:57Speaker 2: about that, just talking about in how to leverage the
- 35:58Speaker 2: common build, just staying on that topic quickly is obviously
- 36:02Speaker 2: you could go to like JT and the defense, But
- 36:04Speaker 2: like I said earlier, I'd be fine with just the
- 36:06Speaker 2: defense because I don't I don't know that you know,
- 36:09Speaker 2: going with Stroud, Collins, Higgins and adding Kirk or Schultz
- 36:13Speaker 2: and then adding you know, Alec Pearson the run back.
- 36:15Speaker 2: Is that a way to get different within the same game, Yes,
- 36:18Speaker 2: because less likely people have those spots, but so many
- 36:21Speaker 2: of them are so similar, and I'm more likely to
- 36:23Speaker 2: bank on the fact that it doesn't go off or
- 36:26Speaker 2: is not needed than I am of trying to overstack
- 36:29Speaker 2: or you know, go extra on this one. I don't know,
- 36:31Speaker 2: that's just my thoughts right now. Anything to add on
- 36:34Speaker 2: sort of the overstack within this most popular spot versus
- 36:38Speaker 2: trying to find ways to just avoid it and get
- 36:40Speaker 2: the points elsewhere.
- 36:42Speaker 3: So I think one thing I'll mention is I do
- 36:44Speaker 3: think Schultz will be somewhat popular, especially within Stroud stacks.
- 36:47Speaker 3: But yes, if I were going that route, I would
- 36:50Speaker 3: be overstacking because what you're saying there is okay, Why
- 36:54Speaker 3: is why CJ Stroud separating Because they have to throw
- 36:57Speaker 3: the ball a game. They're able to do so pretty effectively.
- 36:59Speaker 3: They're one game indoors. So like, the likelihood that Stroud
- 37:05Speaker 3: only supports two pass catchers is just fairly low, and
- 37:08Speaker 3: especially if you didn't want Nico Collins, like if you
- 37:10Speaker 3: went Stroud, Higgins, Kirk Schultz, that makes a lot of sense.
- 37:15Speaker 3: The bringback is a little bit more complicated because I
- 37:19Speaker 3: kind of think like all of the Indianapolis guys are
- 37:22Speaker 3: either overpriced or slightly over owned just for the matchup.
- 37:25Speaker 3: It is such a difficult matchup, and Indianapolis is such
- 37:30Speaker 3: a high powered offense that we really don't need them
- 37:32Speaker 3: to outproduce their expectations at all for Houston to be
- 37:36Speaker 3: pushed offensively to be in a situation where they have
- 37:38Speaker 3: to throw the ball. So it's a weird spot where
- 37:41Speaker 3: like I don't think the correlation is as strong as
- 37:43Speaker 3: usual to use a bringback. I probably would try to
- 37:46Speaker 3: use one regardless, but man like Larren's going to be
- 37:49Speaker 3: ten percent, Pierce is going to be around ten percent.
- 37:52Speaker 3: Those are kind of the two guys that I would
- 37:53Speaker 3: have gravitated to. Otherwise low one guys seem like Pittman,
- 37:57Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor, Josh Down, So maybe i'd go Downs into top.
- 38:00Speaker 3: He's the best forty two hundred guy just because he
- 38:02Speaker 3: catches a touchdown or something like that. But yeah, it's
- 38:04Speaker 3: a really kind of tough decision on who to bring
- 38:07Speaker 3: it back with. But I do think it's a fairly
- 38:09Speaker 3: straightforward decision that if you're going to use Stroud, you
- 38:11Speaker 3: should be triplesack.
- 38:13Speaker 2: And that's too. I mean, we just saw JT last week.
- 38:16Speaker 2: I said last week too, it's like you just you
- 38:18Speaker 2: can go bet it like if you want, Like even
- 38:19Speaker 2: the books don't have the face. He's eighty five and
- 38:21Speaker 2: a half is his rush prop right now, and he's
- 38:24Speaker 2: minus two hundred anytime touchdown, which for him has been
- 38:28Speaker 2: kind of worse. Right, it's actually been worse. I mean
- 38:31Speaker 2: it's been a you know, the Dodgs we've seen on
- 38:33Speaker 2: that have been a lot crazier. So it's like, if
- 38:34Speaker 2: you like it, you can get almost plus three hundred
- 38:36Speaker 2: on one hundred yards in at anytime touchdown him. You
- 38:39Speaker 2: could bet that still not need him in DFS and
- 38:41Speaker 2: get a nice little three to one action there. So
- 38:43Speaker 2: I think if you look at it from that perspective,
- 38:45Speaker 2: just little things that I'm always considering is like I'm
- 38:47Speaker 2: not that scared of it, even though I get it,
- 38:49Speaker 2: Like with the ownerships, it's just not going to be
- 38:51Speaker 2: something that I'm super high on in the stacks, like
- 38:53Speaker 2: I say, or whatever however the portfolio shakes out, but
- 38:55Speaker 2: for single entry, it won't be for me. It won't
- 38:57Speaker 2: be somewhere where I'm going.
- 38:58Speaker 3: There hit in a big way against a really good defense.
- 39:02Speaker 3: Already this year he had thirty two and a half
- 39:04Speaker 3: against Denver way back in Week two.
- 39:06Speaker 4: But since then he hasn't had many difficult matchups. But
- 39:09Speaker 4: fourteen point six versus the Rams, seven point seven versus Pittsburgh,
- 39:14Speaker 4: more on that in a little bit, and then eight
- 39:16Speaker 4: point six against Kansas City.
- 39:18Speaker 3: So the defenses that are capable of really stopping an
- 39:21Speaker 3: explosive rusher so far have kind of.
- 39:25Speaker 4: Really helped him in check. With the only really big
- 39:29Speaker 4: game that.
- 39:29Speaker 3: He's had against a great defense, it was that Denver
- 39:32Speaker 3: game all the way back in Week two.
- 39:33Speaker 2: Man, the little don't think I don't hear those little
- 39:36Speaker 2: teasers that you put in there, and I know what
- 39:38Speaker 2: you're doing. You're cooking something up over there, and I
- 39:40Speaker 2: got something to go with that maybe, So we'll see.
- 39:42Speaker 2: That's gonna be fun when we get to the end.
- 39:44Speaker 2: I do want to look at a few more spots though,
- 39:46Speaker 2: before we get there. One that's been a common theme
- 39:48Speaker 2: throughout Wattle is getting a little bit of ownership. For sure,
- 39:53Speaker 2: right I'm seeing it at least, you know, that's like
- 39:54Speaker 2: you know, even though a chen is as well, But
- 39:56Speaker 2: I'm actually not seeing many looking at two of that.
- 39:59Speaker 2: That's almost a twenty four point team total at home
- 40:02Speaker 2: in Miami going against the Saints defense. I know that
- 40:04Speaker 2: it's the only been easier to run on them than
- 40:06Speaker 2: pass on them. But you do you see anything there
- 40:08Speaker 2: with just being able to leverage a chan, whether it's
- 40:11Speaker 2: with two together where it's forty nine hundred dollars like
- 40:14Speaker 2: two US cheap this week, and then you have Wattle,
- 40:16Speaker 2: and then you have Malik Washington, you got adult chitch,
- 40:19Speaker 2: you got those guys is or anything you're seeing there
- 40:21Speaker 2: where you can see this being a spot that people
- 40:23Speaker 2: you know can get away with or that you like
- 40:24Speaker 2: with the Miami Dolphins pass.
- 40:26Speaker 3: Attack, you know you have that like no Mahomes rule.
- 40:29Speaker 3: I pretty much have a note to a rule, But
- 40:31Speaker 3: this does seem like a decent spot to try it
- 40:34Speaker 3: if you're ever gonna do it. Just kind of a
- 40:36Speaker 3: comical note here. I keep clicking on guys and like
- 40:39Speaker 3: looking through their stuff just to you know, have a
- 40:42Speaker 3: good response prepared. And every single guy I click on it,
- 40:44Speaker 3: I look through their results and by far their best
- 40:47Speaker 3: team came against Atlanta. So maybe maybe the move is
- 40:50Speaker 3: to go Tyron this week and finally get that Anni
- 40:53Speaker 3: mental breakout because they just keep allowing so much production
- 40:57Speaker 3: and so many ceiling performances from all kinds of different players.
- 41:00Speaker 2: You don't gotta tell me with a good time, man,
- 41:02Speaker 2: Like the Bijeon stuff stands out to me, and I
- 41:04Speaker 2: just think that'd be a way to really speed this
- 41:05Speaker 2: game up quick. Everyone's always afraid of Tyler Lgiar and
- 41:08Speaker 2: I get it. He gets in, but it's always the
- 41:10Speaker 2: same shit anyway. It's like if he gets the first touchdown,
- 41:13Speaker 2: everyone's tilted. But if Bijeon gets two and then Algier
- 41:16Speaker 2: gets one, it's like, man, how does this happen? It's
- 41:18Speaker 2: like it's just the same thing backwards. I always use
- 41:20Speaker 2: the golf thing, right, the bogie free round. I think
- 41:22Speaker 2: I've told you this one before, but it's like that
- 41:24Speaker 2: to me is the one that stands out. If somebody
- 41:26Speaker 2: makes a bogie then gets seven birdies, a streak and
- 41:28Speaker 2: an eagle, everyone praises them. If they get seven birdies,
- 41:31Speaker 2: a streak and an eagle and then bogie the last hold,
- 41:33Speaker 2: like what a poss This guy terrible lost the bogie
- 41:36Speaker 2: free round, Like what a loser. And it's like he
- 41:39Speaker 2: just put up the same score, just in a different outcome.
- 41:41Speaker 2: So people always freak out at the end of the
- 41:43Speaker 2: day you can run on the Jets. I think it's
- 41:46Speaker 2: very possible that we see a good Bijon game and
- 41:49Speaker 2: I kind of like overstacking Tyrod with his pass catchers.
- 41:52Speaker 2: And again that's just my thoughts on that spot. Keep
- 41:56Speaker 2: going here. Another one that was brought up Alex is
- 41:58Speaker 2: the Trevor Lawrence games. I know, like for people that
- 42:00Speaker 2: don't know, in this segment, we're sort of going through
- 42:02Speaker 2: some of the combos that you can do in ways
- 42:04Speaker 2: to get different and that sort of stuff. That is
- 42:06Speaker 2: a bigger team total on the road for the Jags.
- 42:10Speaker 2: It is Trevor Lawrence. You are accepting that risk, but
- 42:13Speaker 2: there is pass catching options there. So anything with that
- 42:16Speaker 2: stack in mind, And do you even need a run
- 42:19Speaker 2: back from Tennessee? Do you know you got to sort
- 42:21Speaker 2: of hope they do something to stay in this game
- 42:23Speaker 2: to make it go back and forth. But any thoughts
- 42:25Speaker 2: on this one.
- 42:26Speaker 3: So when I'm doing ownership, one of the things that
- 42:29Speaker 3: I do is I asked myself like, first, are people
- 42:31Speaker 3: going to be interested in the spot?
- 42:32Speaker 4: And then are they going to be interested in the
- 42:34Speaker 4: actual place?
- 42:35Speaker 3: And I think that this is one where people are
- 42:37Speaker 3: going to be interested in the spot They're going to
- 42:38Speaker 3: see the price tag on Lawrence himself just fifty four
- 42:43Speaker 3: hundred dollars. They're going to see the matchup and they're gonna say, hey,
- 42:45Speaker 3: this could be something. And then I think they're gonna
- 42:46Speaker 3: look and they're gonna see Ryan Thomas is sixty two hundred,
- 42:49Speaker 3: Myers is up to fifty seven, Parker Washington is up
- 42:52Speaker 3: to fifty.
- 42:53Speaker 4: Four, and they're gonna say, oh, oh, I don't want that.
- 42:55Speaker 4: They've got like think about that.
- 42:57Speaker 3: They have three receivers more expensive than Quinn, Johnston and Gadson.
- 43:04Speaker 3: Who do we think people are going to be more
- 43:06Speaker 3: interested in playing. I think it's going to be q
- 43:08Speaker 3: Jay and Gadson. So I don't see a ton of
- 43:10Speaker 3: steam coming on Jacksonville. Maybe that's a reason to then
- 43:13Speaker 3: go play Jacksonville, because you know, if they hit in
- 43:15Speaker 3: the big way, it doesn't matter a ton that they're
- 43:18Speaker 3: sixty two, fifty seven and fifty four compared to if
- 43:20Speaker 3: they were fifty seven, fifty two and forty nine or
- 43:23Speaker 3: something like that. But I think they're too expensive. I
- 43:28Speaker 3: don't really like Trevor Lawrence. I just think he's not
- 43:31Speaker 3: that good of a quarterback. He makes a lot of
- 43:32Speaker 3: really good throws but also has a lot of misses.
- 43:35Speaker 3: Kind of similar to Caleb Williams in that way, honestly.
- 43:37Speaker 4: But the other issue here is.
- 43:41Speaker 3: The main thing that we have seen from Jacksonville, especially
- 43:43Speaker 3: over the last few weeks, is they want to run
- 43:46Speaker 3: the ball. They want to be a heavy run first offense,
- 43:49Speaker 3: and they're running the ball pretty well. We need Tennessee
- 43:52Speaker 3: to push them for Lawrence to really hit, and what
- 43:55Speaker 3: are the odds that cam Ward pushes them considering they
- 43:59Speaker 3: actually have a good defense themselves.
- 44:00Speaker 4: So this stack is definitely not for me. I'd have
- 44:03Speaker 4: more interest in going.
- 44:04Speaker 3: To ETN or something like that, and I think eat
- 44:07Speaker 3: End's a decent play at sixty five hundred dollars.
- 44:09Speaker 4: The problem is we just don't know what the split
- 44:11Speaker 4: is gonna look like.
- 44:12Speaker 3: If if we could confidently say that the split is
- 44:14Speaker 3: going to be as good for him as it was
- 44:16Speaker 3: last week, I'd be in on him. But it's just
- 44:19Speaker 3: so often like oh, now here's Tuton, and now Tuton's
- 44:23Speaker 3: getting all the red zone touches, and it's been really
- 44:26Speaker 3: tough with Etan and figuring them out. Last week seemed
- 44:29Speaker 3: like an operation where it was so heavily etn And
- 44:31Speaker 3: it might have just been because the first drive he
- 44:33Speaker 3: had I think it was a forty five yard run
- 44:35Speaker 3: and a receiving touchdown, and they just said, oh, I
- 44:38Speaker 3: guess he's the hot hand to day, and they stuck
- 44:39Speaker 3: with him all game.
- 44:41Speaker 2: There's gonna be a couple spots like that. I mean,
- 44:42Speaker 2: we get to Pittsburgh later, someone's mentioned already in the chat,
- 44:44Speaker 2: but well, just go to Warren Well, then Gainwell has
- 44:46Speaker 2: been involved. Kind of depends on how the and the
- 44:48Speaker 2: other thing is too.
- 44:48Speaker 3: You know.
- 44:49Speaker 2: The one that I always love to remind people of
- 44:51Speaker 2: is like, it's it's last week, it's all season, it's whatever.
- 44:54Speaker 2: It's nothing to do with last week, has anything to
- 44:56Speaker 2: do with tomorrow? Right? It could it? Yes? In the end,
- 44:59Speaker 2: will you be able to lean back on it? See
- 45:01Speaker 2: I told you it was going to be this guy
- 45:02Speaker 2: because it was him last week. You could say that,
- 45:04Speaker 2: but you don't know until it happens, right. That's that's
- 45:07Speaker 2: kind of the setup of at all people have thought
- 45:09Speaker 2: Loveland it was Comet. People would have thought it was
- 45:11Speaker 2: all Swift, not Mynung guy. But oh, Mynung guy was
- 45:13Speaker 2: in the mix.
- 45:13Speaker 3: Two.
- 45:13Speaker 2: Swift had an awesome game. But so like Manunguay had
- 45:15Speaker 2: a great game. It's like you can see all kinds
- 45:18Speaker 2: of different guys show up with that. So from that perspective,
- 45:21Speaker 2: but I think it's definitely interesting, you know. And then
- 45:24Speaker 2: the other part when Kenny said this is you talked
- 45:25Speaker 2: about the prices of the wide receivers. They see like Gadson,
- 45:28Speaker 2: Quentin Johnston, they see Tyrod Taylor's pass catchers. They're like, man,
- 45:31Speaker 2: I could just play wide receiver ones and twos in
- 45:33Speaker 2: other spots that are still good and get away with
- 45:35Speaker 2: it for less. And then oh, by the way, Trevor
- 45:37Speaker 2: Lawrence Check's notes he sucks. Yeah, that's the key. So
- 45:40Speaker 2: they definitely remember that as well. What other spot was
- 45:43Speaker 2: I looking at? Somebody mentioned earlier the Donald spot with JSN.
- 45:47Speaker 2: You kind of had your JASSN conversation already, but I
- 45:49Speaker 2: guess if you were going there and have no fault
- 45:51Speaker 2: of putting in, you know, Donald into the mix with it.
- 45:54Speaker 2: Like I mentioned, the interesting part is he's not really
- 45:56Speaker 2: getting dragged along. I feel similar like that about Stafford.
- 45:59Speaker 2: The problem is, like the Stafford, I'll force it in
- 46:02Speaker 2: my portfolio because I'm fine with it. There's gonna be
- 46:04Speaker 2: it'll just make you more unique. But it's really hard
- 46:06Speaker 2: to get like him, Pooka Adams and a good lineup
- 46:09Speaker 2: and then picking the court if you wanted to run
- 46:11Speaker 2: it back, which Carolina guy, But most will just say ted, well,
- 46:13Speaker 2: he's sixty one hundred, so it's not he's free or
- 46:15Speaker 2: anything like that. And you know it's tricky that way.
- 46:18Speaker 2: But obviously pairing Pooka up with Stafford could be good.
- 46:21Speaker 2: And then just trying to see down the board here
- 46:25Speaker 2: you want to we could save the Bills and the
- 46:27Speaker 2: Steelers for after. Is there anything else that I'm missing,
- 46:30Speaker 2: Alex or any other spots you want to touch on quick?
- 46:34Speaker 4: I don't think so. Uh, let's see. I think we
- 46:42Speaker 4: we mentioned too a little bit.
- 46:43Speaker 3: I do think it's very viable to flip that and
- 46:46Speaker 3: go with Shuck, uh, pending a lave status, Like you know,
- 46:51Speaker 3: if if Alave actually misses his game, he's questionable with
- 46:53Speaker 3: a back injury. Back injuries can be a little bit tough.
- 46:58Speaker 3: If a Lave plays, Shuck has at least shown a
- 47:02Speaker 3: willingness to really throw the ball downfield. Juwan Johnson forty
- 47:04Speaker 3: two hundred dollars seems like a pretty solid play. And
- 47:06Speaker 3: the nice thing there is the correlations great because you
- 47:09Speaker 3: know whenever he does something, it's a touchdown, so you
- 47:11Speaker 3: know you're getting that for the quarterback too. The other
- 47:14Speaker 3: really nice thing is no Camara, so chances are they're
- 47:17Speaker 3: not going to be able to run the ball and
- 47:19Speaker 3: they're going to have to throw the ball, and Miami
- 47:21Speaker 3: is not a good defense, even though they've been out
- 47:23Speaker 3: performing expectations over the last few weeks. So I don't
- 47:26Speaker 3: think that's a bad route. It's also not going to
- 47:29Speaker 3: be like a super contrarian route. There are going to
- 47:30Speaker 3: be people who do that.
- 47:32Speaker 4: But yeah, this, you know.
- 47:34Speaker 3: The only other one that I think is worth mentioning
- 47:36Speaker 3: is I'm not totally opposed to going to brock Purty
- 47:40Speaker 3: and just saying, what if this offense at full strength
- 47:44Speaker 3: is good enough to beat whatever defense is on the field.
- 47:47Speaker 3: And in this case, because I don't think they're going
- 47:50Speaker 3: to be able to run the ball against Cleveland, you know,
- 47:52Speaker 3: maybe they get a bunch of explosives through the air,
- 47:54Speaker 3: So Kittle pierce all with Purdy. That's a little bit interesting.
- 47:57Speaker 3: The only problem is, like now you have to find
- 47:59Speaker 3: a a Cleveland guy to use as a bringback. But
- 48:03Speaker 3: there've also been people in my discord I know who
- 48:05Speaker 3: have have talked up Shoud or Sanders Stacks, which isn't
- 48:08Speaker 3: the craziest idea. The San Francisco defense has been really bad,
- 48:12Speaker 3: particularly since the Fred Warner injury. Were a little bit
- 48:14Speaker 3: better last week. But Sanders fan and Judy like or Tillman,
- 48:20Speaker 3: it's not the worst idea I've ever heard. And again,
- 48:23Speaker 3: if you're ever gonna try something that seemingly ridiculous, this
- 48:27Speaker 3: is a good week to try.
- 48:28Speaker 2: It's just so yeah, like I don't know, he's cheap
- 48:31Speaker 2: and so are all his guys, So it's like whatever,
- 48:32Speaker 2: you could just do it instead of Tyrod Taylor. It
- 48:35Speaker 2: just doesn't feel as good to people because you are
- 48:36Speaker 2: picking between some very random dudes, and like then you'll
- 48:39Speaker 2: then people get worried because they saw like Bond at
- 48:41Speaker 2: a decent game last game and things like that. Right,
- 48:44Speaker 2: so you could definitely move it around that way. I
- 48:46Speaker 2: think it's like, if you want to do it, it's
- 48:48Speaker 2: probably just again, especially if you're doing in a single entry,
- 48:51Speaker 2: you're probably just saying I'm hoping I'm right, and you
- 48:53Speaker 2: go like Sanders, Judy Fannin and then probably see him
- 48:56Speaker 2: see and then near that's your length. You're saying, I'm
- 48:58Speaker 2: gonna go with. This is the game. These are the spots.
- 49:01Speaker 2: It's CMC, like they said, do they love them? Maybe
- 49:03Speaker 2: not their lane, but he is ten percent. Probably he
- 49:06Speaker 2: can put up thirty five plus he could just get
- 49:07Speaker 2: a bunch of checkdowns. It is a good matchup. I
- 49:10Speaker 2: would need Sanders and his squad to stay in it
- 49:12Speaker 2: for CMC to pay off and get to that ceiling. Therefore,
- 49:15Speaker 2: let's try it this way. That's that's the thought process
- 49:18Speaker 2: for me. But again not probably not where well, I
- 49:21Speaker 2: know not where I'm going in single injury at least,
- 49:23Speaker 2: so you can cross that one off.
- 49:26Speaker 3: Yeah, to be clear, I'm way more interested in the
- 49:28Speaker 3: San Francisco side of things. The Cleveland defense. They're really
- 49:31Speaker 3: good in DVOA and EPA per play allowed, they're very
- 49:35Speaker 3: good in success rate allowed through the air. They are
- 49:37Speaker 3: below average, so they allow more than average explosive pass plays.
- 49:42Speaker 3: So if there's a way to beat them, it's the
- 49:44Speaker 3: explosive pass and Party gives that element to the offense
- 49:48Speaker 3: a lot more than Mac Jones like you could even
- 49:50Speaker 3: argue from a success rate standpoint, they're almost the exact
- 49:52Speaker 3: same quarterback, but the explosive pass is way way way
- 49:56Speaker 3: more likely with Perty in there, So it wouldn't it
- 50:00Speaker 3: wouldn't shock me if Party has something like, you know,
- 50:02Speaker 3: three hundred yards even though he's only thrown twenty five times,
- 50:05Speaker 3: and if three of those happened to be long touchdowns,
- 50:07Speaker 3: now you're really in business there.
- 50:09Speaker 2: And we've seen games like that where it's like, you know,
- 50:11Speaker 2: that's Party's been a million micro WINNERWS for sure, where
- 50:13Speaker 2: it's just built like that. It's like, oh, he just
- 50:15Speaker 2: connected with that guy on a sixty yard touchdown, and
- 50:17Speaker 2: then he got another catch or too, and then he
- 50:19Speaker 2: connected with that guy, and it's like, not actually the
- 50:21Speaker 2: volume you would expect. It's it's what you talk about,
- 50:24Speaker 2: is the explosiveness of the value of the volume, right,
- 50:27Speaker 2: the volume value, if you will, is what I'm gonna say.
- 50:29Speaker 2: Darren has one here. I'm curious your thoughts, but it says,
- 50:31Speaker 2: would you be more inclined to play two running backs?
- 50:33Speaker 2: And he said same team. I thought it said same
- 50:36Speaker 2: game at first, and I was gonna have a conversation
- 50:38Speaker 2: around that. Clearly two very different things, but on a
- 50:41Speaker 2: ten game slate, would you still be like, I guess
- 50:43Speaker 2: it would be like gain Well and Warren together or
- 50:46Speaker 2: something along those lines. What's your thoughts on.
- 50:48Speaker 3: This Gamewell warrant. It's interesting you said that is the
- 50:52Speaker 3: one that came to my mind. The first one that
- 50:54Speaker 3: came to my mind actually was Montgomery Gibbs, and I
- 50:55Speaker 3: was like, well, they're not in the slate, but game
- 50:58Speaker 3: one Warren. It does make sense because Buffalo has been
- 51:01Speaker 3: such an incredible matchup for running backs. We've already seen
- 51:04Speaker 3: these guys get like fifteen and twenty points together. There
- 51:08Speaker 3: is a chance that they go for twenty and twenty
- 51:10Speaker 3: five and it's just a forty five point explosion from
- 51:13Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh running backs.
- 51:17Speaker 4: It is more doable, honestly, like this.
- 51:19Speaker 3: The only problem is, like I wish that Warren's price
- 51:21Speaker 3: had started to react to the gain Well usage more
- 51:25Speaker 3: than Gainwell's price reacted to the game all usage, right,
- 51:27Speaker 3: Like game Roll's up to fifty three hundred, but Warren's
- 51:30Speaker 3: still stuck up there at sixty three. If we had
- 51:33Speaker 3: seen Gainwell kind of let's see, like he was actually
- 51:37Speaker 3: fifty five last week, but forty one, forty three, forty
- 51:39Speaker 3: five to three weeks prior. If Gainwell was forty nine
- 51:42Speaker 3: hundred and Warren was now down to fifty five or
- 51:44Speaker 3: something like that, then I think it'd be a lot
- 51:46Speaker 3: more doable. But right now they're kind of both priced
- 51:49Speaker 3: as though they're going to get the better end of
- 51:52Speaker 3: the deal from the usage perspective.
- 51:53Speaker 4: So I don't I definitely don't love it.
- 51:55Speaker 3: I think it's much better to choose between them, and
- 51:57Speaker 3: I don't have a strong feeling between them, but I
- 52:00Speaker 3: probably wouldn't play both.
- 52:02Speaker 2: Yeah, I look at slate dynamics, and I mean, like
- 52:04Speaker 2: I said, when you get to a ten game lower scoring,
- 52:05Speaker 2: I get where that angle of attack would be approached
- 52:08Speaker 2: drum and thought about. But I also thinks there's still
- 52:11Speaker 2: plenty running backs we can play on the slate. You know,
- 52:13Speaker 2: it's not like you know, the three Gamer the other day.
- 52:16Speaker 2: First of all, it's a smaller slate. It was bigger totals,
- 52:18Speaker 2: but there was like no running backs that people loved,
- 52:21Speaker 2: right There was only a few. And so if you
- 52:22Speaker 2: did end up going like a Gibbs Montgomery route, I
- 52:24Speaker 2: could see how you got there. And there's so many
- 52:26Speaker 2: value plays at wide receiver, et cetera, et cetera, even
- 52:29Speaker 2: shorter slate. All those factors matter, but when you still
- 52:32Speaker 2: have twenty teams to pick from, it's very unlikely thea
- 52:37Speaker 2: that you're gonna even get the stack that the running
- 52:39Speaker 2: back combo. I should say that is needed, get what
- 52:42Speaker 2: you need from them, and then have them correct in
- 52:45Speaker 2: the right place with all the other pieces that go
- 52:47Speaker 2: with it. From committing to it and single entry, you
- 52:49Speaker 2: got one shot, so I mean you better get the
- 52:50Speaker 2: other seven spots correct. I'll be looking to spread it
- 52:53Speaker 2: out and just find my way that way, all right.
- 52:57Speaker 2: I don't see any other questions in here. I think
- 52:59Speaker 2: we plenty of different ways and game stacks and things
- 53:02Speaker 2: like that that you can go to. Are you ready
- 53:04Speaker 2: to go to your leverage lane? Anything else you want
- 53:06Speaker 2: to add before we get to it.
- 53:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to ask you a question before we
- 53:09Speaker 3: get to the leverage lane. What's your take on Bucky Irving?
- 53:12Speaker 3: Because I'm seeing him now sub five percent and the
- 53:16Speaker 3: you know, the matchup is phenomenal with Arizona. They really
- 53:20Speaker 3: really can use the spart that he brings to this offense.
- 53:22Speaker 3: And I thought the quote from I think it was
- 53:24Speaker 3: Todd Bowls was pretty interesting.
- 53:26Speaker 4: But they said like.
- 53:27Speaker 3: We're gonna give Bucky the ball early and then we're
- 53:29Speaker 3: gonna see how he looks, and we're gonna go with
- 53:32Speaker 3: you know, the the hotthand from there between himself, Sean Tucker,
- 53:36Speaker 3: and or Show White. To me, that says, if Bucky
- 53:39Speaker 3: comes out and looks like his usual usual self early on,
- 53:43Speaker 3: that we could see like a fifty to sixty percent
- 53:47Speaker 3: total touch share from him, in which case he's got
- 53:50Speaker 3: as good a chance as any to break the slate,
- 53:52Speaker 3: does he not?
- 53:53Speaker 2: We will find out for certain on Sunday, because he'll
- 53:57Speaker 2: definitely be in the mix for sure, and you'll know
- 53:58Speaker 2: why in a moment.
- 53:59Speaker 4: So, well, how about that?
- 54:02Speaker 2: All right?
- 54:02Speaker 4: Well let leverage lane.
- 54:05Speaker 2: Yeah, I can go first. Actually, at this point you've
- 54:07Speaker 2: segued us there. That's why the show is great. Sometimes
- 54:09Speaker 2: it goes this way. Here, here's the deal Baker is
- 54:12Speaker 2: going to play. They're talking about his protective padding and
- 54:14Speaker 2: all this different stuff. I actually think Bucky would be
- 54:16Speaker 2: a great guy to fit this mold as well. All
- 54:18Speaker 2: I really want in this game is to know if
- 54:20Speaker 2: both teams can push the pace, and I definitely think
- 54:22Speaker 2: they can. It is a high paced game from high
- 54:25Speaker 2: paced two high paced teams two very bad pass defenses.
- 54:29Speaker 2: Rush defense is not that much better, to be honest.
- 54:31Speaker 2: The tricky part is figuring out which guy it's going
- 54:33Speaker 2: to be on the Bucks side. So I'm not gonna
- 54:35Speaker 2: commit to that, but I would love if one of
- 54:37Speaker 2: them would do something to keep up. I actually like
- 54:40Speaker 2: a pass catcher on that team, though, So my stack
- 54:42Speaker 2: is gonna be my leverage lane is gonna be on
- 54:44Speaker 2: the opposite side with other guys coming back. He's already
- 54:48Speaker 2: been able to push the pace without them, you won't
- 54:49Speaker 2: get your cheap Michael Wilson's and whatnot anymore. But I'm
- 54:52Speaker 2: gonna stay with Brissette and I'm I don't know exactly
- 54:56Speaker 2: how I'm gonna fill it out yet because we were
- 54:57Speaker 2: waiting on news and how the lineup shakes out and
- 54:59Speaker 2: value l swear. But what I'm going to commit to
- 55:01Speaker 2: is Brissett and egg Buca together. That's the two. I
- 55:05Speaker 2: think Buka is in a good spot again. If the
- 55:08Speaker 2: tricky part of Baker is if he goes back out
- 55:10Speaker 2: or something like that. Now in the portfolio, I'm playing
- 55:12Speaker 2: Baker like I'm gonna definitely have him, But in my
- 55:14Speaker 2: single jury, I think whatever happens that in that game
- 55:17Speaker 2: can push it enough. It's a decent team. It's a
- 55:20Speaker 2: decent game, total decent team, totals good offenses that are
- 55:23Speaker 2: built together. Right, You've got opportunities pretty much across the board.
- 55:26Speaker 2: They're mostly healthy now with the guys that are coming back.
- 55:29Speaker 2: There's some running back situations with like Benson and de
- 55:32Speaker 2: Mercado and those guys. So I just think Brissett's gonna
- 55:35Speaker 2: be able to do enough open it up. I'm gonna
- 55:37Speaker 2: go to the Brissette side here and then useing Buka
- 55:40Speaker 2: on the run back. He's got a nice price sixty
- 55:42Speaker 2: five hundred right in there, and in the portfolio stuff
- 55:46Speaker 2: I don't usually fully I mean just I'm gonna say
- 55:47Speaker 2: because I don't care, but I'm definitely gonna still play
- 55:49Speaker 2: Baker like Baker ag Buca Tes and then use you know,
- 55:53Speaker 2: somebody from the Arizona side on the opposite. And I
- 55:56Speaker 2: think you can still get to McBride here even with
- 55:58Speaker 2: the price boost, because tight end is not that strong
- 56:01Speaker 2: and a lot of the gads and stuff for guys
- 56:03Speaker 2: that we're talking about. We didn't talk about a ton,
- 56:05Speaker 2: but there's not a ton of good tight ends unless
- 56:06Speaker 2: you're just sort of pairing them up with their quarterbacks.
- 56:08Speaker 2: So if you still want a guy that can break
- 56:09Speaker 2: the slate at tight end, it would be a guy
- 56:12Speaker 2: like Trey McBride. So I like the Bowers call you
- 56:14Speaker 2: had earlier. But yeah, I'm in Umbersett and Igbuka for
- 56:16Speaker 2: my spot here? What do you got?
- 56:18Speaker 3: I like this, I teased it a little bit on
- 56:20Speaker 3: going Josh Allen Stacks, and like you, I don't. I
- 56:23Speaker 3: don't know how I want to stack this just yet.
- 56:25Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of uncertainty. Part of the
- 56:27Speaker 3: problem is I don't even know yet a Keon Coleman's playing,
- 56:30Speaker 3: and this is a later game, so we might not
- 56:32Speaker 3: have that information in time. Luckily, a lot of these
- 56:35Speaker 3: guys are similarly priced. But man, there's a lot to
- 56:39Speaker 3: like here. So let's start with the obvious. We've talked
- 56:42Speaker 3: about it a ton this year. Pittsburgh boose's opponent play
- 56:44Speaker 3: volume more than anyone else, so we have Buffalo projected
- 56:47Speaker 3: for the for the most offensive plays on the slate
- 56:50Speaker 3: by a pretty comfortable march. The second thing is this
- 56:54Speaker 3: Pittsburgh defense has allowed or has been really really good
- 56:58Speaker 3: at taking away It's explosive running games. James Cook has
- 57:02Speaker 3: been really explosive rushers so far this year. We just
- 57:05Speaker 3: saw them kind of shut down the Chicago running game.
- 57:07Speaker 3: Who my Eagles weren't able to do that, and they
- 57:11Speaker 3: shut down Jonathan Taylor in that running game. So when
- 57:14Speaker 3: they really prioritize stopping the run, they do it well.
- 57:18Speaker 3: And they forced their opponent to be pass heavy and
- 57:20Speaker 3: beat them through the air, where they're still going to
- 57:22Speaker 3: be a pretty good defense. They're still going to make
- 57:24Speaker 3: plays defensively, but they're also going to give up chunk
- 57:27Speaker 3: plays and they're going to give up a lot of
- 57:28Speaker 3: production through the air. We saw that in then Indianapolis game.
- 57:31Speaker 3: We saw that in the Chicago game. I think we
- 57:32Speaker 3: can see it again here, which with Josh Allen, we
- 57:35Speaker 3: were projecting quite a few explosive pass plays, and all
- 57:39Speaker 3: of these pass catchers are cheap, So you know, I
- 57:42Speaker 3: think I want to double this still for the correlation.
- 57:46Speaker 3: I really like either of the Pittsburgh running backs as
- 57:50Speaker 3: I bring back. Of course, we just see running backs
- 57:52Speaker 3: to the running back shred Buffalo right now. And these
- 57:56Speaker 3: pass catchers are so cheap, whether it's Josh Palmer, Keon
- 57:58Speaker 3: Coleman gave Davis Shavers. All these guys are mid three
- 58:03Speaker 3: k's Shakir fifty five hundred. I think is the one
- 58:05Speaker 3: that I really need to look into. He's basically all
- 58:08Speaker 3: yards after the catch, so I want to look into
- 58:10Speaker 3: how Pittsburgh is done after the catch. But from just
- 58:13Speaker 3: like a pure volume perspective, Shakir needs volume to get
- 58:17Speaker 3: there because he's not running those downfield routes. So it
- 58:20Speaker 3: helps that he's playing a team that gives up so
- 58:22Speaker 3: much pass volume. So I think Shakir has a good
- 58:25Speaker 3: chance of being in there. Kate will probably be in
- 58:28Speaker 3: there if he suits up and is a full go
- 58:30Speaker 3: forty five hundred dollars at the tight end position. But
- 58:33Speaker 3: I just love the idea on a slate where so
- 58:36Speaker 3: many people are playing bad quarterbacks and trying to correlate
- 58:40Speaker 3: and just try to find the one really cheap stack
- 58:42Speaker 3: that hits. There's a decent chance they all fail, and
- 58:46Speaker 3: you're telling me the one excellent quarterback on the slate,
- 58:49Speaker 3: who is has been one of, if not the best
- 58:53Speaker 3: fantasy quarterbacks over the last three years, is going to
- 58:55Speaker 3: be low owned with cheap pass catchers. So it's not
- 58:58Speaker 3: like you're even paying way up for this as a whole.
- 59:00Speaker 3: It just seems like a really big inefficiency to me.
- 59:03Speaker 3: And I'm going to try to play this slate through
- 59:04Speaker 3: Josh Allen.
- 59:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that. I like your call it too.
- 59:07Speaker 2: Like the fact of the pricing. We talk about this
- 59:09Speaker 2: all the time, how much it matters, but usually that's
- 59:10Speaker 2: an issue when you get to Josh Allen. Not only
- 59:12Speaker 2: is he expensive, but it's like who do I stack
- 59:14Speaker 2: them with and how much do they cost? This week?
- 59:16Speaker 2: We're getting them at very affordable prices. I thought originally
- 59:19Speaker 2: that you were gonna say James Cook, because I think
- 59:21Speaker 2: that's a pretty good spot too, at like seventy six hundred.
- 59:23Speaker 2: I'm fine with it. I just that'll be probably more
- 59:25Speaker 2: of a portfolio play for me than in my single entry.
- 59:27Speaker 2: But just a note, I like that quite a bit.
- 59:30Speaker 2: I love the Josh Allen stack though. I'm gonna have
- 59:31Speaker 2: a ton of that. Like I said, even if you
- 59:33Speaker 2: are playing a lot of lineups this week, instead of
- 59:36Speaker 2: having that fear of missing out and playing I'm always
- 59:38Speaker 2: a proponent of this anyway of not picking, like too
- 59:40Speaker 2: many quarterbacks is tightening up your pool. You could really
- 59:44Speaker 2: just take a stand this week and say what you
- 59:45Speaker 2: said is even though they're probably not all going to fail,
- 59:49Speaker 2: that's aggressive because there's a lot of games, but enough
- 59:52Speaker 2: of them are going to fail most likely. And then
- 59:54Speaker 2: it's no saying that everyone else who plays. The ones
- 59:56Speaker 2: that do get through are in the top five most
- 59:59Speaker 2: popular stacks. So there's less of those lineups that exist.
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: There's less of them that are going to be correct
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: and come through. You can have a huge majority of
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: your lineups, even in portfolio play built around Josh Allen
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: in different combinations and hope to get one that sticks.
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: And that's right. So no, just on the James Cook thing,
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: I will add on there just if you're not getting
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: that stack and you want to get to him. He
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: has almost he has very similar props to Jonathan Taylor.
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: So I mean, when you're talking about ninety eight hundred
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: versus seventy days, eighty eight and a half is like
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: the same for the rushing he's almost one hundred all
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: purpose with the receiving stuff that he can get, and
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: he's minus one twenty minus with thirty in places for
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: a touchdown. Jonathan Taylor of course minus two hundred, but
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: those touchdowns can come and droves for a guy like
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: Cook who sometimes gets one from a check down from
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: twenty yards out. That would also help Josh Allen. And
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: typically when we're looking at those two we may not
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: stack them just because the way Josh Allen can take
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: over at the goal line. But when it's seventy five hundred,
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: seventy six hundred very cheap, like what fifty nine hundred
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: and below after that for Shakir and beat and below,
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: then you could actually still get away with it on
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: a week like this, So that makes it somewhat interesting
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: as well. I also might man, I might want. I
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: might change mine here at the very end in a
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: slight way, just saying it, because I went back and
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: looked at some of the preliminary I might not commit
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: to Igbuca because what I'm but I'm gonna flip the
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: commitment to McBride. I am gonna play Brissett and McBride
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: overpay for McBride. It's just because some lineups will have tes,
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: some will have Igbuca. My single entry, I'm not sure
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: it'll be a combination of like two v two's and
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: how that looks in the end, but I will commit
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: to McBride instead. It's an even bigger price commitment now
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: that I'm putting in on it. So it's it's Brisset
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: and McBride for me. If Agbuca works, I love it.
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: If it doesn't in that one, I end up going
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: to tes or something like you said, whether you want
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: to go to the running back position or something else there,
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: I'll go to that, But definitely in on Brisett and
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: McBride for sure. All right.
- 1:01:45Speaker 4: I like that that change.
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: I think, you know, m McBride looks like he's going
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: to be really under owned this week, so I think
- 1:01:50Speaker 3: it's a it's a really good call and you're just saying, well,
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: I keep All he needs to do is keep doing
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: what he's been doing, and he's gonna pay off for
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: you in a big way. I want to make one
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: more point on on the James Cook thing. This is
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: about like the way that Pittsburgh has defended and it's
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: not just the games I mentioned. You can also look
- 1:02:11Speaker 3: at the Green Bay game, right like Josh Jacobs was
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: held to thirteen for thirty three Jordan Love throw thirty
- 1:02:17Speaker 3: seven times for three hundred and sixty yards and three touchdowns. Pittsburgh,
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: especially in the second half of the season, they have
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: approached teams to the really strong run game with the
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: mindset of we're not going to let them run the
- 1:02:29Speaker 3: ball against us. And we know that Buffalo like when
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: they do what they want to do offensively, it's run
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: the ball. Joe Brady wants to run the ball. And
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: so I'm very much like making the prediction that Pittsburgh
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: takes that approach in this game and actually forces Josh Allen,
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: one of the best fantasy quarterbacks, to drop back as
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: often as Pittsburgh can possibly make him drop back.
- 1:02:52Speaker 4: So it's just a weird situation right now.
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: Where like obviously the best thing for Josh Allen fantasy
- 1:02:59Speaker 3: wise and for the Bills fantasy wise, is for him
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: to throw the ball out or at least it dropped
- 1:03:04Speaker 3: back a lot. Maybe he ends up scrambling with it.
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: But from a football perspective, their passing game just isn't
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: very good right now because the receivers are bad. Their
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: run game is really good because James Cook and the
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: offensive line are already good enough, but also you have
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: the threat of Allan keeping the ball. So their run
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: game has been really hard to stop. And I think Pittsburgh,
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: based on what they have done against every other similar
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: offense of late I just really think they're going to
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: commit to putting the ball in Allen's hands in a
- 1:03:32Speaker 3: drop back situation and really trying to take James Cook
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: out of things, which all teams like Miami was able
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: to do so Pittsburgh, who has been able to do
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: it every single time they've prioritized it.
- 1:03:42Speaker 4: I think they'll be able to do it here.
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: Yeah, love the call. I think it's a good spot.
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: What else are you go going on this week, Alex
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: and beyond? Just let the people know where they can
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: find you, everything else you're doing at the moment, and
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: then we'll get to the final stuff and get out
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: of here.
- 1:03:53Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:03:53Speaker 3: Running a pretty cool promotion over on my discord. It's
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: twenty percent off either your first month or the year,
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: so basically anyone who has used this promotion so far,
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: the promo code is Turkey Day. They have decided to
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: take twenty percent off the entire year. Very much recommend

- 1:04:24Speaker 3: to finishing out the season strong.
