- 0:00Speaker 1: Yeah, ball systems clear the lift.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Mhm, what is going on? Shipping Nation YouTube station?
- 0:43Speaker 3: Back in the saddle with my guy ham breaking on
- 0:46Speaker 3: the Sunday night football game. Hey, not quite the uh,
- 0:50Speaker 3: not quite the uh appetizer or the the main course
- 0:54Speaker 3: to uh. To last week's Bill's Ravens. I mean, I
- 1:00Speaker 3: don't even know what to call it. That was some
- 1:02Speaker 3: world class meltdown by Harbor in the Ravens Port Tambo
- 1:06Speaker 3: and Ravens fans out there. But we got a decent
- 1:09Speaker 3: game here game in Minnesota up there in the Dome,
- 1:14Speaker 3: Vikings three and a half point home favorites. I believe
- 1:17Speaker 3: what forty five and a half total? Forty four and
- 1:19Speaker 3: a half total is what it sits at right now.
- 1:22Speaker 3: We have some injuries to talk about on kind of
- 1:24Speaker 3: both sides, but I'll bring you in him.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Happy Sunday morning, brother, how we do it?
- 1:29Speaker 4: Yeah, Happy Sunday morning. That last last week's game was
- 1:32Speaker 4: a shootout for sure. Yeah, I think this is gonna
- 1:36Speaker 4: be a good one. Right, You're gonna talk about the injuries, Yeah,
- 1:38Speaker 4: but we got some key injuries on both sides. One
- 1:41Speaker 4: of my favorite players, Alex Andrew van Geekl. He's out,
- 1:45Speaker 4: so you're gonna talk about him, But yeah, got a
- 1:47Speaker 4: new kicker in Atlanta to talk about as well. So yeah,
- 1:50Speaker 4: let's break it all down and hopefully we get somebody
- 1:53Speaker 4: in the Winter circle like we did on Thursday night
- 1:56Speaker 4: chopping that Millie, So that'd be nice to see again.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Yeah, up to our member shipping.
- 2:01Speaker 3: I think four entries right into fifty one grand was
- 2:06Speaker 3: part of that chop there for the Packers.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Packers did the job again.
- 2:10Speaker 3: Now we're back here with another NFC North team in
- 2:13Speaker 3: the Vikings at home. We'll hit on the injury reports
- 2:15Speaker 3: right off the top. For the Vikings. Christian Dearsil is
- 2:21Speaker 3: going to be out. That's the left tackle there, like
- 2:23Speaker 3: you talked about Andrew Vin Ginko the linebacker is going
- 2:27Speaker 3: to be out for a concussion, and then jeff A.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Kuda is also out for concussion. Starting cornerback on the
- 2:32Speaker 3: outside there, Harrison Smith. Their safety is questionable with an
- 2:36Speaker 3: illness there. Austin Keys is awesome questionable with a groin
- 2:40Speaker 3: It looks like obviously Cashman and Chandler both placed on
- 2:45Speaker 3: injured reserve there, so don't worry about them. But on
- 2:48Speaker 3: the Atlanta side, I mean, mister Romo's back in our life,
- 2:51Speaker 3: not Tony Romo, Parker Romo taking over the kicking duties
- 2:54Speaker 3: for young way Ku Ku figure out how to kick
- 2:58Speaker 3: a field goal through the uprights anymore, and he got
- 3:01Speaker 3: the wax Parker Romo stepping in for the kicking duty,
- 3:03Speaker 3: so make sure you have that. Jordan Faller is out, obviously,
- 3:08Speaker 3: he's on injured reserve there. Casey Washington also going to
- 3:11Speaker 3: be out concussed, which is a big kind of point
- 3:15Speaker 3: because when you look at wide receiver snap counts from
- 3:18Speaker 3: last week, he did play ninety five percent of the
- 3:21Speaker 3: steps there, so some snaps going around. Obviously, Darnell Mooney
- 3:24Speaker 3: likely to be back here for Atlanta, which is big.
- 3:28Speaker 3: Agnew still out, and then Jack Nelson O line is
- 3:32Speaker 3: going to be out as well. For the questionable tags
- 3:36Speaker 3: on the Falcons, Hellman's safety Pierce and Billy Bowman all
- 3:41Speaker 3: going to be questionable for this dB edge rusher and
- 3:44Speaker 3: then the safety Drake London Darnell Mooney both expected to play,
- 3:48Speaker 3: which is pretty big news there overall. From the injury report,
- 3:51Speaker 3: pretty long injury report only week two of the season,
- 3:55Speaker 3: but obviously we know this game very physical, very physical
- 3:58Speaker 3: sports injuries happen all over the place. Darnell Mooney obviously
- 4:02Speaker 3: missed Week one. He'll be back this week, which is
- 4:05Speaker 3: definitely an interesting talking point here tonight, obviously, especially with
- 4:09Speaker 3: the gamesprit game script right expected for the Falcons to
- 4:13Speaker 3: have to pass a lot. We'll do our best to
- 4:16Speaker 3: break it all down here him. I'll throw it over
- 4:17Speaker 3: to you right away, talking captains. Then we'll talk quarterbacks,
- 4:21Speaker 3: running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, kickers. Defense is that,
- 4:24Speaker 3: and then get on out of here at the captain position.
- 4:27Speaker 3: He got Bijon all the way up at eighteen K
- 4:29Speaker 3: coming off a nice, nice Week one. He's gonna be
- 4:33Speaker 3: heavily involved in this offense. No surprise. Rights was arguably
- 4:37Speaker 3: my number one draft pick. When you're talking season long
- 4:40Speaker 3: format stuff. I know some people were talking Chase and
- 4:42Speaker 3: all of that. I just Bijon's role in this offense
- 4:45Speaker 3: is just everything. I mean, he's wide receiver one, he's
- 4:48Speaker 3: running back one. He does it all overall here with Bijon,
- 4:52Speaker 3: eighteen K is a pretty steep price point to pay.
- 4:56Speaker 3: We haven't seen pricing like this yet so far across
- 5:00Speaker 3: a couple of Showdown slates that we have had through
- 5:02Speaker 3: two weeks of the season. Jefferson right there at seventeen
- 5:05Speaker 3: to seven, coming off a fairly down game in his
- 5:09Speaker 3: first first game. There, Drake London at fifteen to six,
- 5:12Speaker 3: and then you got both the quarterbacks in the fourteen
- 5:14Speaker 3: k's and then it drops off a cliff down to
- 5:17Speaker 3: Aaron Jones, Mooney Jordan Mason break down the captain position here.
- 5:23Speaker 4: Yeah, for me, it's kind of like what we talked
- 5:25Speaker 4: about last week, right, you had the two quarterbacks and
- 5:27Speaker 4: the big dog up top. I mean to me, it's similar.
- 5:29Speaker 4: You got Bijon who just did did everything last week,
- 5:32Speaker 4: I mean surprisingly like he didn't even have a good
- 5:35Speaker 4: game from a rushing standpoint. He got there with the
- 5:40Speaker 4: touchdown long run. Did you say something, nopey, sir. Yeah,
- 5:46Speaker 4: So he got there on that long catch and run,
- 5:47Speaker 4: which is you know, that's part of his game. He
- 5:49Speaker 4: can do that. He's electric with the ball in his hands.
- 5:52Speaker 4: I mean three starters missing. Harrison Smith he miss week one.
- 5:55Speaker 4: I saw where Rappaport said he's probably still gonna miss
- 5:57Speaker 4: tonight with an illness. He's out. I mean, Van Geekle
- 6:00Speaker 4: is a difference maker on that defense. Brian flores Man
- 6:03Speaker 4: that guy's That guy's a sick individual and he throws
- 6:06Speaker 4: those defenses at you. Man. It's it's wild how good
- 6:09Speaker 4: Brian Flores is. But with and then Okuda as a
- 6:13Speaker 4: as A as A DB's missing. He played a bunch
- 6:15Speaker 4: the other night as well. So I have a ton
- 6:17Speaker 4: of interest in Bijon. I have a ton of interest
- 6:20Speaker 4: in Drake London as well. Obviously he left the game
- 6:22Speaker 4: early last week, still managed to get fifteen targets. He
- 6:26Speaker 4: can reel some of those in against these backup DB's
- 6:29Speaker 4: backup safeties. No Van Geinkle there in the middle from
- 6:32Speaker 4: his linebacker position. I think Drake London's in a great
- 6:35Speaker 4: spot for me. Justin Jefferson, Yeah sure, But I mean
- 6:42Speaker 4: the Falcons do have some pretty good dbs. I know
- 6:45Speaker 4: what's his name. Got two touchdowns of BUCA last week,
- 6:48Speaker 4: got two touchdowns, and we want that second touchdown. It
- 6:50Speaker 4: was just a great throw. So I'm a little lower
- 6:53Speaker 4: on Jefferson nads. I think it may be time. I
- 6:57Speaker 4: don't know, I'm not I'm not ready to to get Michael.
- 7:00Speaker 4: I saw him last week against Tampa. He did not
- 7:02Speaker 4: look very good. I have zero interest in Michael Pennix
- 7:06Speaker 4: as a captain and then outside of that, JJ McCarthy
- 7:10Speaker 4: got a baby narrative. He missed a bunch of practice
- 7:12Speaker 4: this week, I think two days of practice and people
- 7:15Speaker 4: were ready to bury him through what three quarters on
- 7:18Speaker 4: Monday night that he comes out and you know, leads
- 7:21Speaker 4: them to victory. No practice, new baby, no sleep. Like,
- 7:26Speaker 4: I'm not ready to annoint him either. To me, it's
- 7:28Speaker 4: it's to me, it's three folks. Nates, Bijon, Drake are
- 7:32Speaker 4: my top two, and then Justin Jefferson would be my third.
- 7:34Speaker 4: And I'm not even crazy about him.
- 7:37Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I like a lot of what you say there.
- 7:39Speaker 3: I'll start with Bijon and Drake London. I mean on
- 7:41Speaker 3: both of those. You look at Drake London from last
- 7:44Speaker 3: week before he went out right and got injured. There
- 7:47Speaker 3: twenty seven percent of the team target share, right aer
- 7:51Speaker 3: yard share thirty seven percent. He had ten end zone targets,
- 7:55Speaker 3: which is huge obviously, and he was Pennix's first no surprise, right, So.
- 8:01Speaker 2: I'm in there.
- 8:03Speaker 3: Even with Mooney coming back, I think that just frees
- 8:05Speaker 3: up more for Drake London. I mean, you look at
- 8:08Speaker 3: last week, I mean it was Drake London and then
- 8:10Speaker 3: who was it Casey Washington, Ray, Ray McCloud, Carol Hodge,
- 8:15Speaker 3: Right Sills. I mean, these guys, you're not really scared.
- 8:19Speaker 3: I mean it was basically London, Pitts, and Bijon. Now
- 8:22Speaker 3: adding Mooney back another threat to the opposite side of London.
- 8:25Speaker 3: I think London's gonna feast. He's my overall top captain
- 8:27Speaker 3: play in general, price adjusted. Bijon right there with him.
- 8:31Speaker 3: I'm in there. I'm actually scared about Justin Jefferson here.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Not because I don't think Justin Jefferson's good. He's right,
- 8:38Speaker 3: he's one of the greatest, greatest wide receivers in all
- 8:41Speaker 3: of football.
- 8:42Speaker 2: I'm just scared.
- 8:43Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think they're gonna take the training
- 8:45Speaker 3: wheels off of JJ McCarthy.
- 8:47Speaker 2: We saw it.
- 8:47Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy only kind of led that charge coming in
- 8:50Speaker 3: the fourth quarter out of desperation, right, and the Bears
- 8:53Speaker 3: defense is just not very good in general. I don't
- 8:57Speaker 3: think McCarthy's good. Everyone's like, oh, JJ money all of
- 9:01Speaker 3: this stuff right after he led the fourth quarter comeback there.
- 9:04Speaker 3: I still don't think this kid's a good quarterback. At
- 9:07Speaker 3: least that's my opinion. I could be wrong. Whatever, well,
- 9:11Speaker 3: time will tell. I'm not playing any of these quarterbacks
- 9:14Speaker 3: up in the captain position personally, I just don't think
- 9:17Speaker 3: they're gonna unleash JJ McCarthy. I think they want to
- 9:19Speaker 3: go run heavy approach. That's why they went out and
- 9:22Speaker 3: got Jordan Mason. They have Aaron Jones there, So for me,
- 9:26Speaker 3: I just don't think they're going to drop back and
- 9:28Speaker 3: throw the ball thirty five forty times here.
- 9:30Speaker 2: I just don't see it.
- 9:31Speaker 3: So for me, that's enough to take JJ McCarthy out
- 9:34Speaker 3: and dock some of the pass catchers there where I
- 9:37Speaker 3: do want to go in. My favorite plays from the
- 9:39Speaker 3: captain position on the Viking side are going to be
- 9:42Speaker 3: both these running backs, Jordan Mason, Aaron Jones. It is
- 9:45Speaker 3: tough at a time split. I'm gonna pay attention to
- 9:47Speaker 3: what ownership is. Obviously, it's eight thirty in the morning
- 9:50Speaker 3: here Sunday morning. Ownership will be updated throughout the day
- 9:56Speaker 3: in afternoon. I think both of them are fine. I
- 10:00Speaker 3: think is pretty interesting here in ninety nine hundred captain position.
- 10:03Speaker 3: They're three and a half point home favorites at home.
- 10:06Speaker 3: They want to run the football. Jordan Mason led this
- 10:09Speaker 3: backfield in terms of rush share rushing attempts there, and
- 10:12Speaker 3: Aaron Jones was the pass catcher. It looked like Jordan
- 10:15Speaker 3: Mason was RB one week one of the season here,
- 10:18Speaker 3: not even knowing that entire playbook, I'm going back in
- 10:21Speaker 3: on the well on Jordan Mason and then Aaron Jones
- 10:24Speaker 3: would be the pivot and the lower own option because
- 10:26Speaker 3: I think everybody can look at Sam Counts, everybody can
- 10:28Speaker 3: look at rush share, rushing attempts, all of that. With
- 10:31Speaker 3: the home favorite, people are going to lead more to
- 10:33Speaker 3: Jordan Mason. I'm with it, But I also think Aaron
- 10:36Speaker 3: Jones can be a sneaky option here. We've seen Aaron
- 10:38Speaker 3: Jones in primetime put his old sombrero on there and
- 10:42Speaker 3: throw it up when he was in Green Bay right
- 10:45Speaker 3: with a couple of three rushing touchdowns.
- 10:47Speaker 2: He has the ability to do that.
- 10:48Speaker 3: And again with the uncertainty in the backfield, I like
- 10:51Speaker 3: both the running backs and then the other kind of
- 10:53Speaker 3: contrarian option I would play would be Darnell Mooney just
- 10:56Speaker 3: coming back there. I expect Atlanta to have to pass
- 10:59Speaker 3: the ball a lot. All the focus will be on
- 11:01Speaker 3: Drake London ownership and and Bijon as well. I think
- 11:05Speaker 3: Darnell Dell, Darnell Mooney, excuse me, goes overlooked and is
- 11:10Speaker 3: under allen. So realistically, my captain, Pool, Bijon, Drake London,
- 11:14Speaker 3: Aaron Jones, Mooney, and Jordan Mason kind of the five
- 11:16Speaker 3: main guys that I'm focused on personally myself.
- 11:20Speaker 2: When we jump over to flex here, same kind of guys.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Uh, hit on, hit on the quarterbacks as well, and
- 11:26Speaker 3: then take us into into running back here.
- 11:29Speaker 2: What do you see him?
- 11:31Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I said it a minute ago. I mean,
- 11:34Speaker 4: I'm perfectly fine with not playing Michael Pennock Junior. I
- 11:37Speaker 4: just didn't see enough out of him in that game
- 11:40Speaker 4: against Tampa. Now he goes on the road and have
- 11:43Speaker 4: a lot of respect for Flores in his defense. I
- 11:46Speaker 4: think the one thing you could say, though, would be
- 11:48Speaker 4: you know that I just you know, what we alluded
- 11:49Speaker 4: to earlier is all the defensive guys that are going
- 11:52Speaker 4: to be missing. But this defensive line is our maniacs.
- 11:55Speaker 4: I mean, this is a really good defense. Pinnicks not
- 11:58Speaker 4: the most mobile guy to a yells back in his
- 12:01Speaker 4: college days. So uh, I'm fine fading Pinnix in the
- 12:06Speaker 4: flex and then McCarthy I think is fine, and we
- 12:09Speaker 4: saw him get that rushing touchdown. I mean, I'm with you,
- 12:11Speaker 4: though I'm not sold on him either either as a
- 12:13Speaker 4: long term term quarterback. And this is only his fifth, sixth, seventh,
- 12:17Speaker 4: and eighth quarter of football that he's gonna play at
- 12:19Speaker 4: the professional level. So uh, I think he's better in
- 12:22Speaker 4: the flex than than than Pennix. And then uh, I
- 12:29Speaker 4: disagree with you a little bit on the on the
- 12:30Speaker 4: Vikings running backs. Certainly, you know Aaron Jones, the sombrero,
- 12:35Speaker 4: he's done, it puts the glasses on. I love Aaron
- 12:37Speaker 4: Jones the person, but Mason just looked like the better
- 12:40Speaker 4: back the other night. You know, Jones did catch that bomb.
- 12:43Speaker 4: They threw him another bomb he got in the box.
- 12:45Speaker 4: But I like Jordan Mason less expensive. They're gonna play
- 12:50Speaker 4: right around the same amount of snaps. But he just
- 12:52Speaker 4: looked more explosive in the run game than Aaron Jones did.
- 12:56Speaker 4: So I like Mason in the in the flex spot.
- 13:00Speaker 4: Not in love with them, not in love with Jones.
- 13:03Speaker 4: And then TJ. Hockinson, right, I don't really love Jefferson
- 13:07Speaker 4: because of what they have on the outside. So give
- 13:10Speaker 4: me some hawk across the middle. You know, to do
- 13:12Speaker 4: what Hawk does only sixty two hundred bucks. I don't
- 13:15Speaker 4: mind him in the flex. And the last one I
- 13:18Speaker 4: mentioned before we get down to the cheaper guys would
- 13:20Speaker 4: be Mooney coming back. We saw him last year, had
- 13:23Speaker 4: a really good year last year. It can really stretch
- 13:24Speaker 4: the field if they're behind, if they're throwing. I think
- 13:27Speaker 4: Mooney is a great option in the flex as well.
- 13:30Speaker 3: Yeah, no, excellent breakdown there. I'm gonna be different than
- 13:32Speaker 3: you a little bit. I'm gonna be overweight on both
- 13:34Speaker 3: these quarterbacks in the flex. I'm fading them in the
- 13:37Speaker 3: captain position. I think both of them just the security.
- 13:39Speaker 3: I mean, these prices are too cheap for quarterbacks. I
- 13:41Speaker 3: mean sub ten k for quarterbacks. I mean you're talking
- 13:45Speaker 3: Bijon at twelve k, Jefferson at eleven eight, London at
- 13:49Speaker 3: ten to four. I mean, I'll just take the security
- 13:51Speaker 3: and the safety there. I prefer Pennix over McCarthy just
- 13:54Speaker 3: because I don't think McCarthy is going to be unleashed
- 13:57Speaker 3: and have to throw as much.
- 13:58Speaker 2: I expect Pennex to have to throw throw more.
- 14:01Speaker 3: With the defensive scheme that Flores throws right in the
- 14:04Speaker 3: blitzing and things like that that could cause trouble. You
- 14:06Speaker 3: could get a pick six to the house and then
- 14:08Speaker 3: it just goes right back to Penix having to throw
- 14:11Speaker 3: pretty much the whole game there. So I like Penex
- 14:13Speaker 3: over McCarthy personally in the flex because I'm going more
- 14:15Speaker 3: run heavy approach on the Viking side of things. The
- 14:19Speaker 3: thing I will say about Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason,
- 14:21Speaker 3: I like both of them. I think Aaron Jones is
- 14:23Speaker 3: gonna be way lower on because everybody sees exactly what
- 14:26Speaker 3: you just said, right, Jordan Mason looked better. All the
- 14:28Speaker 3: staff counts, all the rush share, everything leads to Jordan Mason.
- 14:31Speaker 3: It's week one, it's one week sample. They're still trying
- 14:34Speaker 3: to figure out this offense with both of these running backs. Here,
- 14:36Speaker 3: I will say, tell a story when you're playing them.
- 14:39Speaker 3: Jordan Mason is going to be the lead runner I expect,
- 14:42Speaker 3: and Aaron Jones is going to be the lead kind
- 14:44Speaker 3: of pass catching roll back. They're obviously gonna both split
- 14:47Speaker 3: carries things like that, but if Minnesota is playing with
- 14:50Speaker 3: the lead, I expect it to be more Jordan Mason.
- 14:52Speaker 3: If Aaron Jones is kind of the lead guy, I
- 14:55Speaker 3: expect Minnesota to be more in a back and forth type,
- 14:59Speaker 3: even a trailing game script, So when you're playing them,
- 15:01Speaker 3: make sure to tell a story with your roster. There.
- 15:04Speaker 2: I prefer Aaron Jones in more kind.
- 15:06Speaker 3: Of past catching and catch up script or playing from behind,
- 15:11Speaker 3: and then Jordan Mason playing from a head, So when
- 15:14Speaker 3: you're playing them, make sure you build your rosters accordingly. There.
- 15:17Speaker 2: I like them both. I'm in on both of them.
- 15:19Speaker 2: I talked about Darnell Mooney.
- 15:21Speaker 3: I like him taking us into kind of this mid
- 15:23Speaker 3: tier here. I mean you mentioned Hockinson a little bit.
- 15:26Speaker 3: I like Hockinson. There you got Kyle Pitts fifty eight hundred.
- 15:32Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts was wide receiver four in terms of targets, everything.
- 15:35Speaker 3: When London and Mooney we're both healthy and in this game,
- 15:39Speaker 3: Ray McCloud right there at fifty four hundred. I don't
- 15:42Speaker 3: really like Pitts or McCloud that much. I think their
- 15:45Speaker 3: prices are a little high there. They should be pretty
- 15:47Speaker 3: low owned in tournaments, both of them, So I don't
- 15:50Speaker 3: think as a tournament option that they're they're the worst
- 15:53Speaker 3: plays there, but it's just hard to play them over
- 15:56Speaker 3: a guy like Will record. In my opinion, I just
- 15:58Speaker 3: think kickers are there nuts out. Ryker's still too cheap
- 16:01Speaker 3: at five K. He's a really really good kicker in general.
- 16:04Speaker 3: So kind of hit on this mid tier because it
- 16:06Speaker 3: is going to be an important breaking point and talking
- 16:09Speaker 3: point in general. When you take a look at the value,
- 16:12Speaker 3: the value is pretty weak on the slate. So I
- 16:13Speaker 3: think living in this mid tier is gonna be where
- 16:17Speaker 3: you're gonna win tournaments tonight. Guys like Pitt's, McLeod Reikert, Thielen, Romo,
- 16:23Speaker 3: the Vikings defense, Naylor. I think those guys, I think
- 16:26Speaker 3: what you do with this range right here from Naylor
- 16:29Speaker 3: up to Pitts is going to be important, and I
- 16:31Speaker 3: think it's gonna be a differentiator in tournaments here tonight.
- 16:34Speaker 2: What do you see here? What's your preferences? What are
- 16:37Speaker 2: your leads? Yeah?
- 16:38Speaker 4: I mean Naylor eighty eight percent last week at four k,
- 16:41Speaker 4: only got three targets. I think JJ missed him in
- 16:45Speaker 4: the end zone one time. So I think Naylor is
- 16:47Speaker 4: a great spot. I have a ton of interest in
- 16:50Speaker 4: the Vikings defense, even down the guys. You know, we've
- 16:54Speaker 4: seen Van Geek, who I love it when he just
- 16:56Speaker 4: picks off those little screen passes and just takes those
- 16:58Speaker 4: to the house. Obviously won't have those. I think the
- 17:01Speaker 4: Vikings D's squarely employed. Kyle Pitts Sr. Fifty eight hundred bucks.
- 17:07Speaker 4: I mean, you think he's just one of running wind
- 17:09Speaker 4: sprints out there, but he did have eight targets last week.
- 17:12Speaker 4: Uh so I don't hate that. Like, like you said,
- 17:13Speaker 4: I like what you said about telling a story, Like
- 17:15Speaker 4: tell the story. Like if Kyle pins is in there
- 17:17Speaker 4: and they're playing from behind, yeah, you're gonna need Pinis.
- 17:20Speaker 4: But you know, if you don't tell that story, you
- 17:22Speaker 4: don't need You don't need Pinnis. But Feeling, Man, the
- 17:26Speaker 4: guys on the show on Monday, they have me so
- 17:28Speaker 4: amped up for Adam Thieling. They go out there, zero catches,
- 17:31Speaker 4: one two point conversion. I played so much Adam Feeling
- 17:34Speaker 4: on Monday night. He disappointed, But maybe they maybe they
- 17:37Speaker 4: give him some love in his uh, in his return
- 17:39Speaker 4: to Minnesota. Maybe they were saving the saving him to
- 17:42Speaker 4: unleash him back back home in front of his people.
- 17:44Speaker 4: But forty eight hundred bucks, I mean, we know, we
- 17:49Speaker 4: kind of know what he is at this point, but
- 17:51Speaker 4: I'm actually ryker and over feeling at that price, I
- 17:54Speaker 4: think he maybe too. Maybe I'm wrong, but even even
- 17:57Speaker 4: my boy Tony Romo Junior, uh ja, I like him
- 18:02Speaker 4: at that price. You know, brand new, we got a dome,
- 18:04Speaker 4: no condition. So I like the Kickers, I like Naylor,
- 18:07Speaker 4: I like the Vikings, I like Pitts. I think I'm
- 18:11Speaker 4: out on feeling, but interested here to your take on that.
- 18:15Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'll rank this range. For me, it's number
- 18:17Speaker 3: one Nailor Naylor's the wide receiver two in this offense.
- 18:19Speaker 2: I had a feeling. I mean, you look at week one.
- 18:22Speaker 3: Obviously, we're all going off week one in general, just
- 18:26Speaker 3: like everyone is. There's some overreactions, under reactions all of
- 18:29Speaker 3: this thing, and there's some inflated numbers here right with
- 18:32Speaker 3: the way that Vikings and Bears game went. But you
- 18:35Speaker 3: look at Jalen Naylor eighty seven and a half percent
- 18:38Speaker 3: route participation, number two on the team behind Justin Jefferson.
- 18:41Speaker 2: He is the wide receiver two in this offense. He
- 18:44Speaker 2: looked good. I think he's what Michigan State boy. In general.
- 18:48Speaker 3: I think he's a solid receiver four K, really good
- 18:51Speaker 3: price point. He's my favorite guy in this kind of
- 18:53Speaker 3: mid tier range. So I really like Jalen Naylor the most.
- 18:57Speaker 3: It's not gonna be a contrarian take by any means,
- 18:59Speaker 3: but I still think people are going to go to Thiland.
- 19:01Speaker 3: So for me, it's Nailor number one in this range,
- 19:04Speaker 3: Ryker number two in this range, and then I'm gonna
- 19:06Speaker 3: go to Kyle Pitts number three, just because I think
- 19:09Speaker 3: there is some probability there.
- 19:10Speaker 2: Again, I like them to have to pass the ball more.
- 19:14Speaker 3: You did see Kyle Pitts kind of emerge after Drake
- 19:17Speaker 3: Lindon got hurt, and obviously there was no Darnell Mooney,
- 19:20Speaker 3: so that did lead to Kyle Pitts being the main
- 19:22Speaker 3: playmaker there. I just think they need to get Kyle
- 19:25Speaker 3: Pitts involved in this offense this season. Last year was abysmal.
- 19:29Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts has been the fantasy guy that everyone kind
- 19:33Speaker 3: of bangs their head against the wall with and he's
- 19:36Speaker 3: very frustrating. But tonight, I think he's gonna be really
- 19:39Speaker 3: low and I think he's gonna be sub twenty percent.
- 19:41Speaker 3: OneD we have him right around fifteen percent right now. Again,
- 19:44Speaker 3: obviously it's very early. Ownership is going to change. A
- 19:46Speaker 3: lot of things are gonna update as we get the inactives,
- 19:48Speaker 3: as we get more injury report and these questionable tags,
- 19:52Speaker 3: and see what happens here. But again, I expect to
- 19:55Speaker 3: pack the Falcons to have to pass the ball that
- 19:58Speaker 3: goes to Kyle Pitts. I put Kyle Pitts over Ray
- 20:00Speaker 3: Ray McCloud. So for me, it's Nailor number one, Riker
- 20:04Speaker 3: number two, Pits three, and then I'm going to Adam
- 20:07Speaker 3: Feelin four in Romo five is kind of and Raymond
- 20:11Speaker 3: McCloud is kind of the last guy. I really don't
- 20:13Speaker 3: like Ray Ray at this price point. I like him
- 20:15Speaker 3: much more when he's down in that three K range
- 20:17Speaker 3: than fifty four hundred. So for me personally, I'm basically
- 20:20Speaker 3: out on Rey Ray there. I just don't think it's
- 20:23Speaker 3: that good a spot. I prefer Pits, I prefer Mooney,
- 20:25Speaker 3: I prefer London, I prefer Bijon, I prefer Romo the
- 20:28Speaker 3: Kicker over Ray Ray McCloud. Take us down into this
- 20:33Speaker 3: value tier here. What stands out to me is the
- 20:36Speaker 3: Falcons defense. Nobody's gonna play this Falcons defense. I'm not
- 20:39Speaker 3: a buyer on JJ McCarthy. It's gonna be tough to
- 20:43Speaker 3: really get a ton of opportunities just because I think
- 20:45Speaker 3: the Vikings are going to try and take the ball
- 20:47Speaker 3: the era of the football here. They showed a pretty balanced,
- 20:50Speaker 3: in more run heavy approach in Week one until they
- 20:53Speaker 3: had to pass obviously, right when they were down two
- 20:56Speaker 3: scores to the Bears. There the Falcons defense, if this
- 21:00Speaker 3: game stays somewhat competitive or flips the script from what
- 21:03Speaker 3: the Vegas line shows and the total show and Penny
- 21:08Speaker 3: tests to drop back to throw or no Penix, excuse me,
- 21:11Speaker 3: McCarthy has to drop back to throw, you could see
- 21:13Speaker 3: some mistakes happen primetime again, another primetime game for a
- 21:19Speaker 3: rookie quarterback in McCarthy making a second start in the BIGS.
- 21:24Speaker 3: I don't think the Falcons defense is that bad. We've
- 21:26Speaker 3: shown the Falcons defense to have a ceiling multiple times.
- 21:29Speaker 2: Last season.
- 21:29Speaker 3: They were on the winner in a multiple a lot
- 21:32Speaker 3: of main slates. Actually last year they have playmakers back there.
- 21:35Speaker 3: So at thirty six hundred, I think in a Bijon
- 21:38Speaker 3: type captain build, I think that's a really interesting way
- 21:40Speaker 3: to play the Falcons, and you just flip the script
- 21:43Speaker 3: because I do think the run heavy approach that I'm
- 21:45Speaker 3: seeing on the vikings and kind of the vikings, controlling
- 21:48Speaker 3: the game is the more popular route. If you just
- 21:50Speaker 3: flip that construction, you're in a unique in tournaments there.
- 21:52Speaker 3: So I do like the Falcons defense a decent amount
- 21:55Speaker 3: at thirty six hundred, They're probably one of my favorite plays.
- 21:57Speaker 2: Below Jalen Naylor and I like of them right there.
- 22:00Speaker 3: But hit on these other guys, Guys like Josh Oliver,
- 22:03Speaker 3: who is pretty involved. Obviously, he's tight end two behind Hockinson.
- 22:06Speaker 3: They'll run two tight end sets. Oliver got some targets,
- 22:09Speaker 3: got some catches. Last week. His price did come up
- 22:11Speaker 3: to twenty four hundred, which is a little bit harder
- 22:14Speaker 3: to play. He has to do a little bit more
- 22:17Speaker 3: outside of that. I really don't see anyone else down here.
- 22:19Speaker 3: Unless you see anyone, what do you look at for
- 22:22Speaker 3: the value down here?
- 22:23Speaker 4: Yeah, don't don't hate the Falcons. I mean they're thirty
- 22:26Speaker 4: six hundred bucks, right, so you don't need them to
- 22:27Speaker 4: do it a whole lot. The only one that I have,
- 22:29Speaker 4: I'm gonna dub it my my what is his name?
- 22:32Speaker 4: Charlie Warner, No, Charlie Cohler. Play of the week, right,
- 22:35Speaker 4: Nate's he got you zero points? By the way, last
- 22:37Speaker 4: week I wanted to remind you of that would be
- 22:41Speaker 4: my god Tyler Algier. He's my Charlie Kohler play of
- 22:44Speaker 4: the Day, three thousand dollars. He only played nineteen snaps,
- 22:48Speaker 4: but when he's in there, they're going to hand them
- 22:49Speaker 4: the ball. Now, I don't know if I guess I would,
- 22:52Speaker 4: But I don't know if i'd ever take out Vijon
- 22:54Speaker 4: because he's just that good. But when when when Alger
- 22:57Speaker 4: gets in there, he's gonna get carry. He's got eleven
- 22:59Speaker 4: carries on nineteen snaps. If it's close, he's gonna be
- 23:04Speaker 4: in there. But outside of that, I'm not playing Josh
- 23:07Speaker 4: Oliver whoever, I don't even know who that is. Twenty
- 23:10Speaker 4: four hundred bucks. I don't care if he played some
- 23:12Speaker 4: of last week he stinks. And then nobody else down here,
- 23:15Speaker 4: not with not with what's Mooney coming back, So it's
- 23:20Speaker 4: our year in the Falcons defense down here for me.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think Hodge is that playable.
- 23:27Speaker 3: His snap count's really not gonna come up with Casey
- 23:29Speaker 3: Washington missing, Washington basically slotted in for Mooney. Now Washington's out,
- 23:33Speaker 3: Mooney's gonna slot in and take those snaps there, so
- 23:35Speaker 3: you're looking at pretty much it's it's Mooney London and
- 23:39Speaker 3: Rey Ray is the three hodge in four wide receiver sets.
- 23:42Speaker 3: I think he might get some snaps there, but can't
- 23:45Speaker 3: get too excited there. I'm with you on all year.
- 23:47Speaker 3: You look at all year after week one, right, I
- 23:51Speaker 3: believe he got like forty three percent or something of
- 23:55Speaker 3: the rushing share there overall, so I don't hate that.
- 24:00Speaker 3: And again at his price at three K, I mean
- 24:02Speaker 3: that's that's pretty cheap. He would be Him and the
- 24:06Speaker 3: Falcons defense I think are by far and away the
- 24:09Speaker 3: two best value options. But overall value is pretty pretty
- 24:13Speaker 3: weak on the slate. So I think going back to
- 24:15Speaker 3: the captain right, when you're playing at Bijon, when you're
- 24:17Speaker 3: playing at Jefferson, I think you're gonna have to make
- 24:20Speaker 3: some make some make some decisions for sure, because again
- 24:23Speaker 3: I kind of want to finish my teams in this
- 24:26Speaker 3: mid tier the Falcons nailor Vikings Defense, Riiker kind of range.
- 24:31Speaker 3: I don't really want to punt down here. I don't
- 24:34Speaker 3: think it's a slate to punt. The values really really gross.
- 24:37Speaker 3: It's not like we have the Chris Brooks that that
- 24:39Speaker 3: we had right in that Packers Commander's game on Thursday
- 24:43Speaker 3: night or something like that.
- 24:44Speaker 2: The value is pretty weak in general down here.
- 24:48Speaker 3: Lgier is by far the best value play below kind
- 24:52Speaker 3: of Jalen Naylor realistically, even ahead of the Falcons defense there.
- 24:56Speaker 3: But any kind of closing remarks before we get on here,
- 24:59Speaker 3: I I think we broke it down pretty good. What's
- 25:01Speaker 3: your uh, I'll throw it. What's your kind of flag
- 25:05Speaker 3: plan of the slate here? What do you what do
- 25:07Speaker 3: you look? What are you looking for? Is kind of
- 25:09Speaker 3: your your your biggest differentiator tonight to uh to win
- 25:14Speaker 3: all the money?
- 25:15Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna say it's gonna be fading fading Penick, Poenix,
- 25:18Speaker 4: Pinix in like a single entry three Max. I'm fine
- 25:23Speaker 4: with fading them in both of those. That's kind of
- 25:26Speaker 4: my stand. And then yeah, I like my second one.
- 25:30Speaker 4: Sorry you didn't ask for two, but like playing both
- 25:33Speaker 4: running backs like Bijon, like kind of going different playing
- 25:35Speaker 4: Bijon in now year. We didn't mention it too, But
- 25:38Speaker 4: I think his name is Blake, but Blake Cashman starting
- 25:41Speaker 4: linebacker for the Vikings left and he's on IR So
- 25:45Speaker 4: theoretically the Vikings are missing four of eleven starters. I
- 25:48Speaker 4: was in a math major, but that's like forty percent
- 25:50Speaker 4: of their starting defense. Uh so yeah, give me that
- 25:53Speaker 4: ground and pound, take the ball out of Penix's hands
- 25:55Speaker 4: and let's go.
- 25:57Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I did mention. Yeah, Cashman and Dler are
- 26:00Speaker 3: both on IR. They both are out. Obviously Chandler's not
- 26:03Speaker 3: that big, but cash Man and Vin Ginko both being
- 26:06Speaker 3: out is pretty big for the Falcons to have some
- 26:09Speaker 3: hope to keep it close. And hey, if you flip
- 26:11Speaker 3: the script like you're talking about with Bijon and L'sier,
- 26:14Speaker 3: you're gonna be unique there. So that's definitely different there
- 26:17Speaker 3: for me. I think I think the Darnell Mooney captain
- 26:21Speaker 3: play is pretty interesting. I like him at ten to five,
- 26:25Speaker 3: and then I'm gonna tap into Aaron Jones too. I
- 26:29Speaker 3: think Aaron Jones is pretty sneaky. Everyone talks about Jordan Mason.
- 26:32Speaker 3: I like Jordan Mason, but everyone is sleeping on on
- 26:35Speaker 3: Aaron Jones. After one week, all of the thing, oh
- 26:37Speaker 3: you look better the eye test this that the other thing.
- 26:40Speaker 3: If this game does flip a little bit with some
- 26:43Speaker 3: of those guys being out for the Vikings, defense. You
- 26:46Speaker 3: could see a big role for Aaron Jones here. The
- 26:48Speaker 3: ownership is gonna be much lower in my opinion than
- 26:51Speaker 3: Jordan Mason leading up to lock there.
- 26:52Speaker 2: So I like Aaron Jones, I like Darnell Mooney is.
- 26:54Speaker 3: Kind of too contrarian takes in general fading both the
- 26:57Speaker 3: quarterbacks up top. I do think they pick up some
- 26:59Speaker 3: ownership just with the uncertainty of the skill position here,
- 27:02Speaker 3: gonna be overweight on them in the flax, but uh,
- 27:05Speaker 3: that's gonna do it. Good luck tonight in those contests.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Hope to see those ship Nation logos at the top.
- 27:10Speaker 3: All of our content will be live throughout the afternoon here.
- 27:13Speaker 3: Ham's gotta get on in here, get on the main
- 27:15Speaker 3: Slate show. Hopefully your main Slate teams are crushing as well,
- 27:20Speaker 3: and hopefully we see another ship in the Nation member.
