Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: All systems go. Clear for liftoff. What's up everyone. Tyler
- 0:37Speaker 1: Tamblyn here, AKA toe tag and Tambo back for another
- 0:39Speaker 1: edition of showdown shippers here on the shipment nation, YouTube station.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Got my guy title town with me. Who's getting a
- 0:46Speaker 1: dental work dental work done. So we'll see him back.
- 0:49Speaker 1: I believe Thursday, but just noting that the two of
- 0:51Speaker 1: us will break down this slate. We've got the Eagles
- 0:54Speaker 1: at the bears. We've got a pretty good game. I
- 0:56Speaker 1: think title to go back and forth here with, but
- 0:57Speaker 1: how was your Sunday, my friend and onto another Monday
- 1:00Speaker 1: night football showdown slate. Yeah.
- 1:02Speaker 2: My Sunday was profitable. So I cannot complain about that
- 1:04Speaker 2: one bit. Cash game streets, not really the tournaments. Had
- 1:08Speaker 2: the right player pool, didn't have the right combinations, was
- 1:11Speaker 2: too under on the Gino Sadiq stuff. So, I mean,
- 1:14Speaker 2: you pretty much really wanted that when it was all
- 1:17Speaker 2: said and done. But I thought some pretty good football
- 1:18Speaker 2: last night was a great game. We talked a little pre-show.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Anyone that was looking at the leaderboard saw you up
- 1:23Speaker 2: there for a little bit, hovering, saw Matt Bellman up
- 1:26Speaker 2: there hovering. Mumfield got the touchdown. I was hovering. I mean,
- 1:30Speaker 2: showdown's a crazy game. It just takes a couple plays
- 1:32Speaker 2: to flip it all. So, hey, we love talking about it.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Hopefully he can repeat what happened last Monday, 41.5 total, 3.5-point
- 1:40Speaker 2: favor to the Eagles against a backup quarterback. But, yeah,
- 1:42Speaker 2: I think a good football game.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Definitely looks like a good game here for, I think,
- 1:46Speaker 1: for Showdown, for everything. There's a lot of different options,
- 1:48Speaker 1: the ways you can go. We're going to go through
- 1:49Speaker 1: the captains, then we'll go position by position, give you
- 1:51Speaker 1: guys some thoughts there, see if we can check out
- 1:53Speaker 1: FanDuel pricing a little bit as well. They're running their usual,
- 1:56Speaker 1: but big boy contests out there, lots of good prizes
- 1:59Speaker 1: up top. And yeah, you said it, Showdown's a crazy game.
- 2:01Speaker 1: It's not for the faint of heart. People that are
- 2:03Speaker 1: sweating it so early, and they're like, there's seven minutes left,
- 2:06Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it. a little bit like i said
- 2:08Speaker 1: do you appreciate it's like it's cool when you're like
- 2:09Speaker 1: okay this is realistic i don't have some super lone
- 2:13Speaker 1: guy that i would need to catch a ball a
- 2:14Speaker 1: bomb or something and i don't you know i know
- 2:17Speaker 1: there's six seven minutes left but what's the scenario this
- 2:19Speaker 1: could play out like like this could happen that would
- 2:21Speaker 1: be good for this all you can do is put
- 2:23Speaker 1: yourself in that spot and then hope it goes your
- 2:25Speaker 1: way then all of a sudden you can be like
- 2:27Speaker 1: from there two minutes later you can be 20 points
- 2:30Speaker 1: off the next best lineup and injuries by the way
- 2:32Speaker 1: too like ferguson Last night, somebody just said it, Justin Sports, please,
- 2:36Speaker 1: no injuries. Just please, man. Like, it's nuts, these amount
- 2:39Speaker 1: of injuries, Dart. But you had the Dart one, 80%
- 2:42Speaker 1: or whatever you said last week, and then it came
- 2:44Speaker 1: through and still won almost 40K. You know, I think Ferguson,
- 2:48Speaker 1: I had 76% of last night, still had lineups up there.
- 2:51Speaker 1: It's just the way it goes sometimes. But can't control that.
- 2:53Speaker 1: We got to control the controllables.
- 2:56Speaker 2: You are one to look at, like to sweat it out, right?
- 2:59Speaker 2: So you're on the DraftKings app. You're seeing where you're at.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Like some people say they don't check until the games
- 3:03Speaker 2: are over. Like after stat corrections, you're on the app
- 3:06Speaker 2: looking at what you need, right?
- 3:07Speaker 1: I don't look at it until like halftime and then
- 3:09Speaker 1: the very end, like 10 minutes or less. Do I,
- 3:12Speaker 1: then I, you want, I mean, you put your money in,
- 3:13Speaker 1: you want to see if you're going to get a sweat,
- 3:14Speaker 1: but I talk about this with golf. It's the same thing.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Like Thursday morning, who cares? Friday afternoon, cut sweat. Definitely
- 3:20Speaker 1: looking Saturday night. Do I have anything that I could be,
- 3:23Speaker 1: that could be in contention that I want to pay
- 3:24Speaker 1: attention to? Same, same thing. Football main slate. I'm thinking
- 3:28Speaker 1: about late swaps and afternoon slate before I'm thinking about
- 3:31Speaker 1: what's about to ship today. Look at the yesterday's afternoon games. Nuts, right?
- 3:35Speaker 1: There's so many ways you can go. Like, things that
- 3:37Speaker 1: can happen. So, you know, yesterday I was tilting some
- 3:41Speaker 1: actionables early in the Discord, having fun with the community,
- 3:44Speaker 1: just saying like, man, this is brutal start for a
- 3:46Speaker 1: lot of different things. Mahomes, I played him for the
- 3:48Speaker 1: first time in forever. No chance that thing was coming.
- 3:51Speaker 2: I got that one right. A couple of things I
- 3:53Speaker 2: got right, but not the Geno stuff, which you needed.
- 3:55Speaker 2: But man, it's just still hard with Mahomes. Like, granted,
- 3:58Speaker 2: they were in the red zone a lot and they
- 3:59Speaker 2: could have converted. Like they had opportunities, but.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Getting- play calls what killed them the what like when
- 4:04Speaker 1: you're going walker from that one it was so bad
- 4:07Speaker 1: that one is that's when i actually started tilting a
- 4:09Speaker 1: little i was like just that because i was like
- 4:11Speaker 1: they had the ability and then of course the hn
- 4:13Speaker 1: injury i was dead anyway i had a i love
- 4:15Speaker 1: my setup it was like well in my main 555
- 4:17Speaker 1: or whatever it was like it was like my homes
- 4:20Speaker 1: uh worthy taekwon with uh hn as opposed to using
- 4:25Speaker 1: walker and then i still had i think gibbs with
- 4:28Speaker 1: wilson And then whatever else it allowed me to get.
- 4:30Speaker 1: It was a nice lineup. I know that much. It
- 4:32Speaker 1: just didn't play out this time. But Belvin and I
- 4:34Speaker 1: just did the takedown breakdown. If you guys are here,
- 4:36Speaker 1: make sure to hit the thumbs up. Subscribe to the channel.
- 4:38Speaker 1: You can go check that out. We talked a lot
- 4:40Speaker 1: about the Sadiq factor. I know it's a showdown show.
- 4:42Speaker 1: We'll get there in just a second, guys. But we
- 4:45Speaker 1: kind of knew or felt like Adonai Mitchell wasn't going
- 4:48Speaker 1: to play. But we were all like, planning for it
- 4:52Speaker 1: but i don't know if we were prepared because like
- 4:54Speaker 1: still only came in at five percent everybody moved to
- 4:56Speaker 1: isaiah williams it was like that was the excitement but
- 4:59Speaker 1: you could already fit gibbs and all these other guys
- 5:02Speaker 1: in your lineup so it's like you needed that cheap
- 5:04Speaker 1: option there but at a onesie position and i brought
- 5:06Speaker 1: up the example of like the the late scratch to
- 5:09Speaker 1: george pickens for the steelers a couple years back and
- 5:12Speaker 1: everybody ran to calvin austin the third and then fryer
- 5:15Speaker 1: moved to broke the slate it was the same type
- 5:17Speaker 1: of idea though it's like how do i get a
- 5:19Speaker 1: cheap guy to make this work but we actually wanted
- 5:22Speaker 1: to get a more expensive receiver there wasn't a lot
- 5:24Speaker 1: of people that had gibbs jsn lineups but the winning
- 5:27Speaker 1: lineups were with gibbs jsn and that game stack which
- 5:30Speaker 1: sadiq also fit into still accordingly so crazy that hoop
- 5:34Speaker 1: had the call gino verse gino versus detroit Same as
- 5:39Speaker 1: his Millie maker over stack, got the job done. I just,
- 5:42Speaker 1: I didn't see it. He got to all of it,
- 5:44Speaker 1: but with pretty much everything else going on that game was,
- 5:46Speaker 1: it was what you needed for sure.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Yeah. It was a fun slate for sure. I mean, JSN,
- 5:51Speaker 2: how good is he?
- 5:52Speaker 1: Very good.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm in Rado, Justin Jefferson. Like you, you needed
- 5:56Speaker 2: to spend up at running back Warren. Oh my goodness.
- 5:58Speaker 2: His 25 or whatever he had could have been 40.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Like no one ran worse than Jalen Warren with the
- 6:03Speaker 2: DK hold the, The field getting him, I mean, it
- 6:07Speaker 2: was bad.
- 6:08Speaker 1: He was very bad. One of the worst. The other
- 6:12Speaker 1: one was the best one of the day for me, though.
- 6:13Speaker 1: I just talked about it. I loved it. It was
- 6:15Speaker 1: the Purdy run. 35-yard touchdown.
- 6:18Speaker 2: I was, what?
- 6:19Speaker 1: Whistle.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Where?
- 6:20Speaker 1: They show the replay. Kittle, it's at the damn line.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Purdy's in the box. And this guy's like a little push.
- 6:26Speaker 1: I was like, oh, my God. And I loved it
- 6:28Speaker 1: because the next play, Purdy throws it to Kittle.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Ball don't lie.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Mic drop. Just right on them refs. crazy shit the
- 6:34Speaker 1: brazil game was nuts last night's game started slow but
- 6:37Speaker 1: then really picked up crazy at the end i mean
- 6:40Speaker 1: we've got some really good football this weekend it's always
- 6:42Speaker 1: nice to have some sweats and some action but uh
- 6:44Speaker 1: got to enjoy it too like you said when you're
- 6:45Speaker 1: checking the app and looking for these things hopefully you're
- 6:47Speaker 1: looking for things that are going your way but anything
- 6:50Speaker 1: else on the recap.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Are you good no yeah you said you like this
- 6:52Speaker 2: slate i'm kind of more indifferent to it so i'm
- 6:55Speaker 2: excited uh to follow your lead but yeah i'm i'm
- 6:58Speaker 2: I'm going to start saying.
- 6:59Speaker 1: Like you say then, because you told me last Monday
- 7:01Speaker 1: you didn't really like the slate and you go ship it.
- 7:03Speaker 2: And then I like Thursday and then I didn't ship it.
- 7:05Speaker 2: So yeah, I think I'm back to where I want
- 7:07Speaker 2: to be.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Man, the Tambo optimism is just way too high. I'm
- 7:10Speaker 1: always like, I love it. Just start hating shit, man.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Maybe it'll go your way. This is the thing. But
- 7:15Speaker 1: Nice day. I mean, yesterday was good. Could have been
- 7:17Speaker 1: a lot better. And speaking of Warren, that was a
- 7:19Speaker 1: 2v2 away in the big $ 3, 300 million fan duel. I
- 7:23Speaker 1: had freaking Jadarian Price and the Saints D, which our
- 7:27Speaker 1: projections like both those spots, but obviously Warren would pop more,
- 7:30Speaker 1: but I already had like Walker Gibbs, Wilson, Purdy, Kittle.
- 7:34Speaker 1: He was pretty chalk stacked up. So I went a
- 7:36Speaker 1: little bit different, had a chance if I had, I
- 7:38Speaker 1: had the, the two V two came in second for
- 7:40Speaker 1: 250 K. So it would have been a one 75
- 7:42Speaker 1: K chop, but, um, didn't go there. So I'm fine
- 7:45Speaker 1: with it. We'll move on. Let's get onto the slate.
- 7:47Speaker 1: First off, you guys want to check out ship at nation.com.
- 7:49Speaker 1: The main thing is ship at games right now, ship
- 7:52Speaker 1: at games.com. And you can still get in. People ask
- 7:54Speaker 1: me all the time, like, Oh, is it, did I
- 7:56Speaker 1: miss it? Cause no, like it's every week we're putting
- 7:58Speaker 1: this out. Every member that's all access or NFL only.
- 8:01Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if you have saber SIM or not,
- 8:03Speaker 1: whichever you prefer, you're eligible to get into the golden shipper,
- 8:08Speaker 1: which is the four 99 person contest up to, it
- 8:10Speaker 1: hasn't even filled. So it's like the, you know, not
- 8:12Speaker 1: as many people are in it as you might think.
- 8:14Speaker 1: And we had another three winners this week. They're not
- 8:16Speaker 1: listed just yet, but that gets us up to nine.
- 8:19Speaker 1: So there is still 41 golden ship at tickets available.
- 8:22Speaker 1: What does that mean to you? Well, we're the only
- 8:25Speaker 1: site in all DFS or pretty much anywhere that I
- 8:27Speaker 1: know of. Like, I don't even know if Wendy's has
- 8:28Speaker 1: given away $ 45, 000 these days. Times are tough, but just
- 8:32Speaker 1: noting it, 45 K cash and prizes, 10 K five
- 8:35Speaker 1: K 2,500 down to one K you guys can win.
- 8:39Speaker 1: It's a community only contest. You just got to be in.
- 8:41Speaker 1: It's basically like a live final, but an online version
- 8:44Speaker 1: of it where you can get in and the top
- 8:46Speaker 1: 10 of the 50 will make it to the finals.
- 8:48Speaker 1: It'll be week one of the playoffs. You'll be able
- 8:50Speaker 1: to get in and have your chance to win that
- 8:53Speaker 1: money over there. The last one, dfsos.com. We've talked about
- 8:56Speaker 1: it a ton, but if you go there and we
- 8:58Speaker 1: just use it on takedown breakdown to show off the
- 9:00Speaker 1: power of it. But if you've got code ship it,
- 9:02Speaker 1: you can actually get half price off of the founder pricing.
- 9:05Speaker 1: So $ 29 instead of 59, that's for the whole month.
- 9:09Speaker 1: So basically a dollar a day, you'll get access to
- 9:11Speaker 1: the entire dashboard. And I'm going to use it a little,
- 9:14Speaker 1: cause I just use it for the news on these
- 9:15Speaker 1: shows really title. I use it for all kinds of
- 9:17Speaker 1: other stuff, but just to note it on this one,
- 9:19Speaker 1: like we talk pre-show You're going to give the grand
- 9:21Speaker 1: scheme overview today, but it looks like Zach Ertz is
- 9:24Speaker 1: going to be back in the mix. Expected to be
- 9:26Speaker 1: activated off the practice squad for week three. Give us
- 9:29Speaker 1: your grand scheme overview for the Eagles at the Bears here.
- 9:31Speaker 1: This lower spread that I think people thought, or however
- 9:34Speaker 1: you want to look at it. I think people thought
- 9:36Speaker 1: it would be more in the Eagles' favor.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Yeah, to be honest, I haven't, I guess, been for
- 9:41Speaker 2: over a year and a half, but I don't think
- 9:42Speaker 2: this Eagles team is as good as the public really does.
- 9:45Speaker 2: And I really do expect Ben Johnson and his coaching
- 9:47Speaker 2: staff and I mean, now their ability with the one-two
- 9:49Speaker 2: punch of DeAndre Swift and Menungai, even with a backup quarterback,
- 9:54Speaker 2: Case Keenum, you would expect it to be uh wider
- 9:57Speaker 2: but i think they can run the football can try
- 9:59Speaker 2: and control the line of scrimmage i mean i remember
- 10:01Speaker 2: last year when these two teams played off very well
- 10:04Speaker 2: because played the eagles and survivor pretty deep and they
- 10:07Speaker 2: just could not stop the run and the time of
- 10:09Speaker 2: possession was very much so on the on the um
- 10:13Speaker 2: bear side so i could see that repeating again now
- 10:15Speaker 2: as far as dfs I always like to look at
- 10:18Speaker 2: the captain stuff right away. Only one in Jalen Hurts
- 10:21Speaker 2: showing above 20%. Even when you do play him, what's
- 10:23Speaker 2: nice though in showdown because of the tush-push equity, his
- 10:26Speaker 2: running upside, that you can play him in a lot
- 10:29Speaker 2: of unique ways. You don't have to just play him
- 10:31Speaker 2: with two receivers or three. You can, but it almost
- 10:34Speaker 2: gets more contrarian when you do it that way. I
- 10:37Speaker 2: could see Saquon moonwalking back a little bit. He left
- 10:41Speaker 2: last week's game in I think the first drive with
- 10:43Speaker 2: the stinger, but he practiced fully. I'm expecting him to
- 10:46Speaker 2: be full go. In terms of value though, it's really
- 10:49Speaker 2: tough on this slate. And that's why I do think
- 10:52Speaker 2: we're going to see a lot more middling builds. Like
- 10:54Speaker 2: both kickers are projected for over 20%. Eagles defense is
- 10:58Speaker 2: projected for over 20%. Lemon almost there. Wicks is going
- 11:02Speaker 2: to be one of the chalkiest in the 4K range.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Gleef Raymond almost 20%. Because when you go down to
- 11:08Speaker 2: like the 2Ks and stuff, there really isn't many appealing options.
- 11:11Speaker 2: So I do think people will jam one of the
- 11:13Speaker 2: studs for the most part up top. and then kind
- 11:16Speaker 2: of balance it out from there. And I don't mind
- 11:18Speaker 2: mid-tier captains today when we talk about that because of
- 11:22Speaker 2: how bad the value is.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Yeah. One of the interesting things that I would just
- 11:25Speaker 1: add to that, I think it was a great breakdown.
- 11:26Speaker 1: The middling factor stands out to me because what is
- 11:30Speaker 1: interesting or unique to this is, like I said, already
- 11:32Speaker 1: the spread's a little bit tighter than most would expect.
- 11:34Speaker 1: So that naturally makes people sometimes go more to like
- 11:37Speaker 1: a Philly 4-2 as opposed to all the way to
- 11:39Speaker 1: the 5-1. Or If they are getting to 5-1, it's
- 11:42Speaker 1: obviously way more likely going to be on the Eagles' side.
- 11:44Speaker 1: But with some of those middling builds, if you look,
- 11:47Speaker 1: and we'll get there later, in the flex, you don't really...
- 11:50Speaker 1: On the... Eagle side, you've got Hertz, 10.8, Barkley, 10,000,
- 11:55Speaker 1: Devonta Smith, 10.6. And then you got like Wix, Lemon,
- 12:00Speaker 1: guys like that at 4K and the cheap 2K tight ends.
- 12:03Speaker 1: But if you go to the Bears side, you already
- 12:06Speaker 1: have DeAndre Swift just under 10K. You've got Burden, 7,600, Odunze, 7,400, Loveland,
- 12:14Speaker 1: So it's like all the 10K guys are on Philly,
- 12:16Speaker 1: besides Swift, kind of, and Keenum's even down. But then
- 12:19Speaker 1: all the mid-range guys, Keenum 8400 and those two receivers
- 12:23Speaker 1: in tight end that I mentioned are all in that
- 12:25Speaker 1: 7K to 8K range. So it's a really interesting dynamic
- 12:28Speaker 1: when you're thinking about how people are going to actually
- 12:30Speaker 1: build lineups. And that's what we spend more time on.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Nobody knows out there watching the shows, picking winners and
- 12:36Speaker 1: all this. They're not going to tell you. They're going
- 12:38Speaker 1: to tell you a bunch of shit, but they don't
- 12:39Speaker 1: know who it's going to be. But we're going to
- 12:40Speaker 1: tell you how to build lineups. That's what the Stone 2.0
- 12:43Speaker 1: is for. I'm going to bring it up to here.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Two-man booth today. It kind of shows off a little
- 12:46Speaker 1: bit better when there's three people on. Same screen size,
- 12:49Speaker 1: but we're all just jammed in there. But if you're
- 12:52Speaker 1: a member at Shiba Nation, we keep it really simple.
- 12:54Speaker 1: There's the projections, which you can use within SaberSim if
- 12:57Speaker 1: you're a SaberSim member. There is the showdown stone, which
- 13:00Speaker 1: is the original non-interactive version of what we're about to use.
- 13:04Speaker 1: There's the slate station, which combines all of the content
- 13:07Speaker 1: we put out written. So the cores, the tower by
- 13:10Speaker 1: our guy, BG Little Neck, the cash plays, the breakdown
- 13:13Speaker 1: from the show. If you miss this show or you
- 13:14Speaker 1: can't watch it back, you can check it out there.
- 13:16Speaker 1: But the Showdown Stone 2.0 is what we're on. And
- 13:19Speaker 1: I sorted it here now by ownership. And this is initial.
- 13:22Speaker 1: So you guys won't catch these numbers later. It doesn't
- 13:25Speaker 1: really matter that they're showing them off. It'll all update
- 13:27Speaker 1: once we get inactives and news and two more times
- 13:29Speaker 1: before we go live. But you can swap between DraftKings
- 13:33Speaker 1: and get the MVP ownership. FanDuel, DraftKings, Captain, Flex. But
- 13:38Speaker 1: we're starting at the Captain here. And I'll let you
- 13:41Speaker 1: go first, Tidal, with this. But you mentioned it, like
- 13:44Speaker 1: how these lineups might be built, what we'll end up seeing.
- 13:46Speaker 1: It does look, to your point, like Jalen Hurts will
- 13:48Speaker 1: just be the top dog and then go down from there.
- 13:51Speaker 1: But if Barkley comes back a little bit, Devontae probably
- 13:54Speaker 1: stays about the same. Like, I just don't know that
- 13:56Speaker 1: a lot of Chicago guys can get pushed up. And
- 13:58Speaker 1: I don't see a lot of wide receivers tonight being
- 14:01Speaker 1: up top. I mean, Devontae Smith, sure. But, you know,
- 14:04Speaker 1: even his number is kind of middling after that, like
- 14:07Speaker 1: Bird way down there, Wicks, Odunze, et cetera, et cetera,
- 14:10Speaker 1: et cetera. So give me your thoughts here at the captain.
- 14:12Speaker 2: Yeah, these guys are overpriced. It's not only is it
- 14:15Speaker 2: a 41 and a half total, which isn't great, but
- 14:17Speaker 2: with the backup quarterback in Case Keenum, And really, again,
- 14:20Speaker 2: I don't think that the Eagles want to drop back
- 14:22Speaker 2: hurts like Ford is too much if they don't have to.
- 14:25Speaker 2: Both of these passing attempt props are some of the
- 14:27Speaker 2: lowest or some of the on the low end that
- 14:29Speaker 2: we've seen both twenty eight and a half for the
- 14:32Speaker 2: passing attempt prop, which then leads to these receiving yard
- 14:35Speaker 2: props being terrible. Like Luther Burden is thirty six and
- 14:39Speaker 2: a half. Colson Loveland, thirty one and a half. A doomsday,
- 14:41Speaker 2: twenty five and a half. Raymond, twenty three and a half.
- 14:44Speaker 2: This Bears offense is is not condemned for the first place.
- 14:47Speaker 2: because they have two running backs, and then they mix
- 14:50Speaker 2: in the Adunze, Raymond, Colson Loveland. So when it's a
- 14:55Speaker 2: lot of options, when they all look to be overpriced,
- 14:57Speaker 2: when they're not expected to score as many points, it
- 15:00Speaker 2: is just very difficult to play too many Bears at captain.
- 15:04Speaker 2: I think the only one I'm really going to roll
- 15:07Speaker 2: is DeAndre Swift, and I think Menungai might be second.
- 15:11Speaker 2: It's just a very contrarian option. Again, I think this
- 15:13Speaker 2: team's going to run the football a ton. So 5,600,
- 15:15Speaker 2: I don't mind Menungai. as a mid-tier captain at 2%. Otherwise,
- 15:20Speaker 2: it's really swift. Dontavian Wicks, our guy, is a lot
- 15:26Speaker 2: cheaper than Bird and cheaper than Adunze. And he has
- 15:29Speaker 2: the second highest receiving prop in this game at 43.5 yards.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Devontae Smith, 71.5. So I do think, when I talk
- 15:37Speaker 2: to middling captains I think are in play, Wicks is
- 15:40Speaker 2: one of my favorite captains. And then when you play him, again,
- 15:43Speaker 2: don't leave $ 100 and build with the chalk. But I
- 15:46Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if Wicks... Wicks could be the highest,
- 15:49Speaker 2: have the most receiving yards on the slate or score
- 15:51Speaker 2: two touchdowns. He is very involved in this offense. So
- 15:54Speaker 2: him and Monunga I'm fine with. And then I'm going
- 15:57Speaker 2: to play the chalk up top. But I think Barkley
- 15:59Speaker 2: is my favorite because it kind of leverages some of
- 16:02Speaker 2: that Jalen Hurts captain who's going to be higher and
- 16:05Speaker 2: Devonta Smith. If Hurts or Saquon is the one dominating
- 16:08Speaker 2: on the ground, those two very well could bust. And
- 16:12Speaker 2: that's a way to leave more salary and stuff to
- 16:13Speaker 2: get different. So I'm on the running game on both
- 16:15Speaker 2: sides and then mainly Wicks as my favorite receiver at price.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I think... to be honest, all these, like the
- 16:21Speaker 1: captains feel pretty efficient for what we're seeing here right now.
- 16:24Speaker 1: But I think where it gets interesting is how you
- 16:27Speaker 1: play them after the fact, because, because of the way
- 16:30Speaker 1: we talked about it earlier with like the values and stuff,
- 16:31Speaker 1: like if someone goes Barkley, I could see them still.
- 16:34Speaker 1: I know it doesn't always correlate or how people like
- 16:36Speaker 1: to look at it, but if you go here and
- 16:38Speaker 1: I'll now go to flex because I have my captain in,
- 16:41Speaker 1: you could say like, people might still try and put,
- 16:43Speaker 1: you know, hurts. And then they still have 6,000 left
- 16:47Speaker 1: per player. So it's like, all right, well, I could
- 16:49Speaker 1: get the other quarterback. I could get, oh, I like it.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Who cares what they like? Let's just say it's, you know,
- 16:54Speaker 1: what do we see in the ownership for Flex? Loveland,
- 16:58Speaker 1: Burden's right there. So let's just say it's Burden. We'll see.
- 17:00Speaker 1: It's not Odunze versus those two, but let's say it's that.
- 17:02Speaker 1: You still have 4,100. And now you've got the cheap
- 17:05Speaker 1: Eagles tight ends, or you've got different options that you
- 17:08Speaker 1: can go to down there on the Philly receivers with
- 17:12Speaker 1: Lemon and with Wick. So this lineup kind of just
- 17:15Speaker 1: fills itself out, but it's to your point. it might
- 17:18Speaker 1: not be the best way to use these options when
- 17:20Speaker 1: you're doing this. So if you go back to captain
- 17:23Speaker 1: here for a second, one thing I would note is like,
- 17:26Speaker 1: it might be interesting to have like a Wix and
- 17:29Speaker 1: then Hertz. You've got about 8,000 left. You could run
- 17:33Speaker 1: like a nice two, four. Now you've got to just
- 17:37Speaker 1: hope the other stays condensed, but yeah, but it's a
- 17:40Speaker 1: different way to do it. Or if you're running, let's say, Oh,
- 17:43Speaker 1: someone says, okay, well, four twos are popular tonight. Well,
- 17:45Speaker 1: this is a two four that we're talking about where
- 17:47Speaker 1: you're putting a Eagles captain with Hertz, just using an
- 17:50Speaker 1: example and then four bears. But also if you were
- 17:54Speaker 1: thinking like the other way, and I think you and
- 17:56Speaker 1: I both think this, I just showed an example of
- 17:58Speaker 1: why the three threes are going to be pretty popular
- 18:00Speaker 1: tonight because Well, 3-3s will be popular, but they'll be
- 18:04Speaker 1: popular with Hertz, Barkley, and Smith up top. So if
- 18:08Speaker 1: you're playing Burden or Loveland or something like that in
- 18:11Speaker 1: a 3-3, you're like, well, but they said 3-3s were popular. Well,
- 18:15Speaker 1: they are, but it's who's within them and how are
- 18:18Speaker 1: they being built. Again, not who you play, how you
- 18:19Speaker 1: play them. This is the setup. It's you can move
- 18:22Speaker 1: these guys around and still have unique constructions. Almost like
- 18:25Speaker 1: in a, you know, we just did a bunch of
- 18:26Speaker 1: lineup breakdowns on takedown breakdown, but you see the line
- 18:29Speaker 1: and be like, Oh man, I was right. It had Warren.
- 18:31Speaker 1: It had Gibbs. It had Wilson. Like, I feel like
- 18:33Speaker 1: I should have had that lineup, but it's, it's, they
- 18:35Speaker 1: put them all together and then still got other stuff
- 18:39Speaker 1: in it. That's a little bit unique. Like the JSN separator.
- 18:42Speaker 1: How many people had Wilson and Gibbs? Lots. How many
- 18:46Speaker 1: people had Wilson Gibbs and JSN in the same lineup?
- 18:50Speaker 1: I mean, those versions that made it to the top, yes,
- 18:53Speaker 1: but not very many as a whole, right? It gets
- 18:55Speaker 1: much lower the higher you go up like that. So
- 18:57Speaker 1: thinking about the build type matters also in blending it
- 19:02Speaker 1: with who your captain is. If you're going to play,
- 19:05Speaker 1: I'm a none guy captain. Well, I don't care anymore
- 19:07Speaker 1: if three threes are... I didn't flip it, but I
- 19:09Speaker 1: don't care anymore if you think that... three threes are
- 19:13Speaker 1: too popular to play there. There's almost no Menungai captains
- 19:16Speaker 1: to start with, let alone three threes of Menungai. So
- 19:19Speaker 1: it's like, you can do whatever you want once you
- 19:21Speaker 1: have that in there as a, as a way to
- 19:22Speaker 1: get different. So, um, side note, the chat's talking about
- 19:25Speaker 1: it and you're a big, uh, Justin Jefferson guy. There
- 19:28Speaker 1: was a different JJ though, coming from that squad, getting
- 19:30Speaker 1: moved over today. So did you have any comments on
- 19:33Speaker 1: this real quick?
- 19:34Speaker 2: I mean, I, we, I hope the best for him.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Like it could not have been any worse, uh, the
- 19:38Speaker 2: year prior. Like it's, I mean, he's a human being.
- 19:41Speaker 2: Like it's, He's trying to play at the highest level
- 19:43Speaker 2: he did at Michigan. Now, granted, they ran the ball
- 19:46Speaker 2: a ton. He needs a lot to work on, but
- 19:49Speaker 2: I always cheer for Pete. like that. I mean, he's
- 19:53Speaker 2: been a meme. He's been a joke. It's because he
- 19:55Speaker 2: played like a joke, but he's still young. People can
- 19:58Speaker 2: get better, so I'm cheering for him because it couldn't
- 20:01Speaker 2: have been any worse to start his career.
- 20:03Speaker 1: Maybe the JJ stands for just joking, and he comes
- 20:05Speaker 1: back and.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Says he didn't play well, but What about Michael Wilson,
- 20:09Speaker 2: by the way, though? How good is he?
- 20:11Speaker 1: How good is he? So that was my FanDuel Millie
- 20:14Speaker 1: line of the 3300. I had it with Purdy, Kittle,
- 20:17Speaker 1: and Wilson.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 20:18Speaker 1: And that was the nice setup there. It had Gibbs
- 20:20Speaker 1: with Wilson. It had... who's got, Oh, it had a
- 20:24Speaker 1: Walker and somebody, I mean, it was, it was a
- 20:26Speaker 1: beautiful lineup. Just those last two that I needed to
- 20:28Speaker 1: fix up and it would have been a six figure day,
- 20:29Speaker 1: but just saying that Wilson, we talked about yesterday, just
- 20:32Speaker 1: another good day. And he, he went, man, it for
- 20:35Speaker 1: a while. It was like, man, he's not even catching
- 20:37Speaker 1: much or getting, and then all of a sudden.
- 20:38Speaker 2: Nothing. And then 25, next thing you know, you look,
- 20:40Speaker 2: I mean, that's Jacoby Bursette and that team too. Like
- 20:42Speaker 2: we talked about, he did so many outs. I mean,
- 20:45Speaker 2: the garbage time, it was, I guess, garbage time. They
- 20:48Speaker 2: fought back, but yeah, they never take their foot off
- 20:50Speaker 2: the gas and they dropped back a ton.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Yeah. A hundred percent. Did you have like a, you know,
- 20:55Speaker 1: I don't, not to rank them necessarily, but like, you know,
- 20:57Speaker 1: rounding it out. Is there anybody, I guess, just sort
- 21:03Speaker 1: of rounding it out and then I'll just give a
- 21:04Speaker 1: couple more things.
- 21:05Speaker 2: You said ranking captain.
- 21:07Speaker 1: I mean, you mentioned it, you already kind of went
- 21:09Speaker 1: through everybody there, but is there anything now based on
- 21:12Speaker 1: our conversation back and forth where you're like, yeah, I
- 21:14Speaker 1: probably like, let's use Keenum. I was going to say him. Like,
- 21:17Speaker 1: I just don't know. how much Keenum I get to,
- 21:19Speaker 1: even when I get to the Chicago builds, I have
- 21:21Speaker 1: other builds I'd like better currently, but what's your thoughts
- 21:24Speaker 1: on Keenum?
- 21:25Speaker 2: I'll probably get zero at captain. I mean, some of
- 21:27Speaker 2: the flex, we just talked about it recently. Who was
- 21:30Speaker 2: someone was like 30% own quarterback in the flex. And
- 21:33Speaker 2: I always play that spot, but it's really hard to
- 21:36Speaker 2: see him. If he had like a 300 plus yard game,
- 21:39Speaker 2: I mean, Hey, that's his passing props, like 186. If
- 21:42Speaker 2: it feels too thin for me, if the bears win
- 21:44Speaker 2: this game, I think it's, mainly on the ground, or
- 21:47Speaker 2: it'd be like Burden just breaking it or Colson Loveland
- 21:50Speaker 2: scoring two touchdowns. I'd rather play the skill position players.
- 21:53Speaker 2: But again, I don't see myself playing even too many
- 21:55Speaker 2: of the Bears skill position players. I think they can
- 21:58Speaker 2: win this game and still have an eagle at captain.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Like I'm more willing to do a 2-4 like we
- 22:03Speaker 2: talked about with one of these Eagles guys, just hoping
- 22:05Speaker 2: everything funnels through them since it's more condensed. And then
- 22:08Speaker 2: you can play more Bears players. But man, it's really
- 22:12Speaker 2: tough when you get to these Bears with how spread
- 22:14Speaker 2: out they are, and they all seem overpriced. But what's
- 22:16Speaker 2: also interesting in this slate is Devonta Smith, Saquon, and
- 22:20Speaker 2: Hertz are all above 10K. Then the next highest price
- 22:23Speaker 2: is the Eagles defense at 5,200. It just shows how
- 22:28Speaker 2: they're so top-heavy. It runs through the same people. But
- 22:30Speaker 2: I do think Wicks is very underpriced in this spot.
- 22:33Speaker 2: And I don't mind Lemon if you want to Do
- 22:35Speaker 2: that as well at 4,200. But those are two guys
- 22:38Speaker 2: I like a lot and the ability to leave money
- 22:40Speaker 2: on the table when playing them because they will be owned.
- 22:42Speaker 2: But 4,400, 4,200, easier to leave like 2K on the
- 22:46Speaker 2: table and you're not giving up too much upside.
- 22:48Speaker 1: Yeah, I truly believe you can leave at least, what
- 22:52Speaker 1: would it be? Quick math here. 6,200 on the table.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Devonta Smith.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Tonight because I'll, I will definitely have lines where I
- 22:58Speaker 1: just play wicks in Smith spot. Like, and I know
- 23:01Speaker 1: like people, if you're hand building, it's easier to like
- 23:03Speaker 1: paint this picture. What we're saying of like, if you
- 23:05Speaker 1: had a hand build and you're like, man, I love
- 23:07Speaker 1: this lineup. It uses 50 K. It has Devonta Smith.
- 23:10Speaker 1: People will not be able to leave those five median
- 23:14Speaker 1: projected points on the table very often, but that's nuts
- 23:17Speaker 1: in showdown, first of all, but they also, but if
- 23:18Speaker 1: I do this, I got to upgrade this. It's just
- 23:21Speaker 1: not true always. And it's like at the end of
- 23:23Speaker 1: the day, you could see a slate where Wicks beats
- 23:26Speaker 1: Smith straight up and the rest of the lineup still
- 23:28Speaker 1: goes with like what would have been. And he doesn't
- 23:30Speaker 1: really do much at all. We've seen tons of slates
- 23:32Speaker 1: like that. There was slates like that last year. We
- 23:35Speaker 1: talked about in the past of like AJ Brown on
- 23:37Speaker 1: the Eagles and Jahan Dotson beat some straight up like for,
- 23:40Speaker 1: for all the points. So, Lots of opportunities, man. I
- 23:43Speaker 1: talk about it all the time, but this is one
- 23:45Speaker 1: where you actually have them, others maybe not. And even
- 23:48Speaker 1: with the efficient captains, like I talk about, meaning I
- 23:51Speaker 1: see why when you go here, we know why these
- 23:53Speaker 1: are the most owned captains and why it's going to
- 23:55Speaker 1: be pretty condensed to those four. The reason I say
- 23:59Speaker 1: that as an extra point is because to my previous point,
- 24:03Speaker 1: I actually, and what I was going to add to it,
- 24:04Speaker 1: was I actually liked Devonta Smith at the captain position.
- 24:08Speaker 1: more than I like him in the flex. So it's like,
- 24:10Speaker 1: I want him to be the guy and somehow make
- 24:12Speaker 1: this thing work or not at all. And it's not sad.
- 24:14Speaker 1: I won't have anything like that. That's just, you get
- 24:16Speaker 1: builds that make sense. They end up in them. I'm
- 24:18Speaker 1: just explaining the concept. And most people, as we know
- 24:21Speaker 1: from doing these shows for many years are trying to
- 24:23Speaker 1: figure out how to play, uh, five to 10 lineups
- 24:25Speaker 1: or one to 10 lineups, one to 20 lineups. Like
- 24:27Speaker 1: it's not, not everybody's playing 150. So we always try
- 24:30Speaker 1: and help, you know, explain the difference of like a
- 24:32Speaker 1: portfolio versus cause you'll see a guy like I had
- 24:35Speaker 1: a lineup last night with a, wasn't Adkins. I think
- 24:37Speaker 1: I could have fit Adkins or whatever that guy's name is.
- 24:39Speaker 1: They got the touchdown, but it's like, I think I
- 24:41Speaker 1: had like Prentice or something ended up in a build.
- 24:43Speaker 1: And we, we talked about this because our guy Jay
- 24:46Speaker 1: Walken last week said, I think he had like, one
- 24:48Speaker 1: to three Hooper lineups in his 50 lineups or something.
- 24:51Speaker 1: And he ended up winning 54 K with Hooper in his,
- 24:55Speaker 1: in his builds. And he's like, I was going to
- 24:56Speaker 1: probably get rid of the guy, but you entitled and
- 24:58Speaker 1: hoop said, don't do that. And so I left him
- 25:00Speaker 1: and sure enough, it only takes one to get through.
- 25:02Speaker 2: And he ended up, that was cool to see. Cause yeah, some,
- 25:05Speaker 2: something applying what they saw on the show. And then
- 25:08Speaker 2: the next day that just absolutely. Yeah. And I've learned
- 25:11Speaker 2: that way too. Like I said, it helped me. I
- 25:13Speaker 2: used to make that mistake.
- 25:14Speaker 1: So It's definitely a learning experience. I'd love to see that.
- 25:17Speaker 1: Plus Jay Watkins, an awesome dude, Michigan guy met him
- 25:19Speaker 1: at the live final deer hoop. And I were there
- 25:22Speaker 1: at the fantasy golf world championship was out with his
- 25:24Speaker 1: kids at the course, really good dude, deserving, awesome job.
- 25:27Speaker 2: That was a crazy sweat. He went from one 52
- 25:30Speaker 2: point all the way down to way less than 50.
- 25:32Speaker 2: That game was wild.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Wasn't that, was that now that I'm trying to remember
- 25:36Speaker 1: it all though, was that the Knowlesman solo ship?
- 25:38Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah. Yeah. I think it was.
- 25:41Speaker 1: I think it's like, that's what's even crazier about it.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Cause it was such a unique lineup that it was
- 25:45Speaker 1: still a solid, like a less than 10 dupes type thing.
- 25:49Speaker 1: But the first prize I think was all to Knowlesman.
- 25:52Speaker 1: I can't remember. Maybe it wasn't and I'm wrong. And
- 25:53Speaker 1: that was a different one, but that's the nice part.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Like last night was trending that way until it wasn't
- 25:58Speaker 1: where if you have a a lot of people up
- 26:01Speaker 1: top and like someone's winning all the money or two
- 26:03Speaker 1: people are chopping it. It's, you are still getting a
- 26:05Speaker 1: decent prize if you're not getting into these, you know,
- 26:08Speaker 1: 50 way chops. Like we see that. That's the nice
- 26:10Speaker 1: part about building your lineups that way. When you get
- 26:12Speaker 1: a sweat. like you said, why I like to go
- 26:14Speaker 1: and look, it could be a real sweat. It's for
- 26:17Speaker 1: real money. It's just things can change quickly no matter what.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Anything else up top that you want to talk about
- 26:22Speaker 1: with any of these other dudes? I think like someone
- 26:25Speaker 1: said it earlier, but like Loveland coming out to play,
- 26:28Speaker 1: if this is going to be like a slog over
- 26:30Speaker 1: the field, the one thing we've talked a lot about lately,
- 26:32Speaker 1: like if this plays to the total, you could definitely
- 26:34Speaker 1: see a game where it's like a Loveland touchdown and
- 26:36Speaker 1: some grabs and Keenum leans on him and it just
- 26:39Speaker 1: ends up where he's that, but the other side is
- 26:42Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, a little bit more spread
- 26:44Speaker 1: out than what you would see on paper. The pricing
- 26:47Speaker 1: shows how tight it is. It's, it's Hertz, it's Barkley
- 26:49Speaker 1: and it's Smith. You just made this point, but they
- 26:52Speaker 1: do have Wicks, Lemon, Cooper, Munt, Ertz, other guys. So
- 26:57Speaker 1: it's like, you could still see that somewhat. And if
- 27:00Speaker 1: the game stays lower, then it would matter more. So
- 27:02Speaker 1: it's all just how you build and what game you're
- 27:04Speaker 1: building for.
- 27:05Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, to be honest, I at this point
- 27:07Speaker 2: would almost want it to be Keenum over Caleb because, A,
- 27:11Speaker 2: you're getting the discount to Colson Loveland. Now, I'm making
- 27:14Speaker 2: the case for him, and then I'm going to say, well,
- 27:15Speaker 2: I'm probably not going to play it. But it's just
- 27:17Speaker 2: been so bad in the first two weeks with Caleb,
- 27:20Speaker 2: like no targets. Now Keenum, a backup quarterback, might rely
- 27:23Speaker 2: on his big athletic tight end. Now his ownership is
- 27:26Speaker 2: going to be lower because the total is lower. They're
- 27:29Speaker 2: supposed to score more points. So to be contrarian, that's
- 27:32Speaker 2: the case. It's more unique. For me, though, I mean,
- 27:34Speaker 2: he's 31 and a half receiving prop, three and a
- 27:37Speaker 2: half reception prop with pretty good juice on the under. Like, man,
- 27:40Speaker 2: that is really hard to put up top at 7K,
- 27:43Speaker 2: which is why his ownership's there. But I just, again,
- 27:45Speaker 2: I think they're going to run the football really heavy.
- 27:47Speaker 2: I think Menungai and DeAndre Swift, both their rushing attempt props,
- 27:52Speaker 2: they both might hit the over when it's all said
- 27:54Speaker 2: and done. I really think they're going to try and
- 27:56Speaker 2: play this game to the under, hold the possession, have
- 27:59Speaker 2: their defense win the game, who played great against the
- 28:01Speaker 2: Vikings last week.
- 28:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's interesting for sure. We do have
- 28:05Speaker 1: Loveland in our stuff showing up currently more optimal, but
- 28:07Speaker 1: it's not like it's that much more than Menungai. And
- 28:09Speaker 1: obviously Menungai costs a little bit more, but still like
- 28:12Speaker 1: that call out of like, if you're definitely in on Swift,
- 28:15Speaker 1: that's how they control this game. That's how they control
- 28:17Speaker 1: the clock. That's how they lean in their favor. It
- 28:20Speaker 1: is still a really good Bears team, just different quarterback.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Like you said, that's in there. So at the end
- 28:23Speaker 1: of the day, good coach, all of those factors at home.
- 28:27Speaker 1: bunch of different things. But to me, I like that
- 28:29Speaker 1: call out of like using a, someone like a menung
- 28:31Speaker 1: guy there or Swift and just building down from that way.
- 28:35Speaker 1: And I think even if you played like going to flex,
- 28:37Speaker 1: we'll get there later. But if you played like Swift
- 28:41Speaker 1: and the bears D, I think you can still play
- 28:43Speaker 1: those big boy, uh, Eagles. Like they got to get you.
- 28:46Speaker 1: They can, some people will go, they don't want to
- 28:47Speaker 1: play the bears versus hurts versus, uh, hurts, but it's like, you,
- 28:51Speaker 1: you could definitely still do that on this slate. No problem.
- 28:53Speaker 1: So All right, let's go to other stuff with the quarterbacks.
- 28:57Speaker 1: And you mentioned like the flex. This is something I
- 28:59Speaker 1: just like to look at quickly. It's not like I'm
- 29:01Speaker 1: trying to flip it or something. It's just the note that,
- 29:03Speaker 1: you know, Keenum, he's only gonna be 5%, 6% of
- 29:06Speaker 1: the captain. So if he's only gonna be 35 ish
- 29:09Speaker 1: in the flex, I mean, he's on four out of
- 29:12Speaker 1: every 10 lineups, not, you know, any versus like Hertz
- 29:14Speaker 1: is gonna be on eight out of every 10, not,
- 29:17Speaker 1: you know, a big boy number. So any extra thoughts
- 29:20Speaker 1: on Keenum in the flex or like anything special there?
- 29:23Speaker 2: Fine with it, but I still think like any, yeah,
- 29:26Speaker 2: you can plug in Case Keenum and then you can
- 29:28Speaker 2: play Khalif Raymond and leave the 5K or whatever, or 4600,
- 29:33Speaker 2: whatever it is, and be fine in the vacuum. Any
- 29:37Speaker 2: Keenum team can go to Lemon or Wick, so... I'm
- 29:40Speaker 2: fine with it. But, man, it's a pocket passer with
- 29:43Speaker 2: no mobility on, I mean, one week. I didn't even
- 29:48Speaker 2: know it was going to be him. Like, they got
- 29:49Speaker 2: that Badgett guy, too, who I think is better, but
- 29:52Speaker 2: he was dealing with some stuff. So I don't even
- 29:54Speaker 2: know for sure when he knew he was going to play.
- 29:55Speaker 2: I assume probably beginning of the week. It's not the
- 29:58Speaker 2: best matchup. I think they're going to run the ball.
- 29:59Speaker 2: I'm fine with them in the flex, but I'd be
- 30:01Speaker 2: lying if I loved it. I could see that 35
- 30:04Speaker 2: going back a little bit, though, because when you play him,
- 30:07Speaker 2: it is harder to play Swift. You can still play
- 30:10Speaker 2: these guys, but it's harder to play multiple of Swift, Hurts, Barkley, Smith,
- 30:15Speaker 2: and the field is definitely going to prioritize them.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Yeah, and this was just yesterday, like just talking about it,
- 30:21Speaker 1: is the Case Keenum, Bajan injury revealed ahead of the
- 30:25Speaker 1: Bears game. I think people thought it was going to
- 30:27Speaker 1: be Bajan. Then, you know, the concussion serving as the backup, though. So, like,
- 30:32Speaker 1: there's still room for some wild stuff here tonight, man.
- 30:34Speaker 1: It's just the way showdown always goes. But we knew,
- 30:37Speaker 1: like you said, who knows when he eventually found out.
- 30:38Speaker 1: But the Bajan stuff, if you just search on DFSOS.com
- 30:43Speaker 1: by Bajan, you can get the quick latest news on
- 30:46Speaker 1: that and sort of, Find your way back because it
- 30:49Speaker 1: updates from all different sources. But it looks like Keenum
- 30:53Speaker 1: on track was a day ago. Badgett clears concussion protocol.
- 30:57Speaker 1: So when was it? Just nothing more than a day ago.
- 31:02Speaker 1: Two days ago. They clarified Badgett was going through the
- 31:06Speaker 1: concussion protocol. So it's, I mean, just very recent that
- 31:08Speaker 1: this sort of came through and then he took the
- 31:10Speaker 1: necessary steps to practice. That's not like following the news
- 31:12Speaker 1: a little bit. It's not like it helps with picking
- 31:14Speaker 1: the lineups or anything like that, but just knowing kind
- 31:17Speaker 1: of what's going on to your point of Keenum. just
- 31:19Speaker 1: kind of finding out that it's going to be him
- 31:21Speaker 1: and rolling in there and having to be ready to
- 31:22Speaker 1: go makes it somewhat interesting. Hurts, I think just, you know,
- 31:26Speaker 1: for me, a lot of, you know, flex for sure,
- 31:29Speaker 1: but also it's going to be accordingly. Like if I
- 31:31Speaker 1: have Barkley up top, it's not, I'm not ruling this out.
- 31:34Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I'll be thinking about that. Like usually
- 31:36Speaker 1: if Barkley's up top, you're going to have, you know,
- 31:39Speaker 1: PPR guys or defenses or things like that, that you
- 31:41Speaker 1: can find in the flex more often than you'll find
- 31:44Speaker 1: the quarterback. And then obviously the, the two of them
- 31:47Speaker 1: on a single slate, makes more sense than on a
- 31:49Speaker 1: main slate when they can sort of cannibalize each other
- 31:51Speaker 1: when you get down to the goal line with the
- 31:52Speaker 1: tush push and all those things. But anything else you
- 31:54Speaker 1: want to add at quarterback? If not, it'll get busier now,
- 31:57Speaker 1: talking running back, wide receiver, and tight ends. But anything
- 32:00Speaker 1: else at the quarterback or on the Hurts side?
- 32:02Speaker 2: No, yeah. The more I think about it, though, the
- 32:03Speaker 2: less I like Keenum. I mean, 38 years old, I
- 32:06Speaker 2: think I'm expecting a lot of quick routes, get the
- 32:09Speaker 2: ball out fast, make his life easy. And my favorite
- 32:13Speaker 2: would be Burden. I know he's the most expensive, but
- 32:15Speaker 2: he's the most– electric and maybe a play action, a
- 32:19Speaker 2: couple of them to take a deep shot will be needed.
- 32:22Speaker 2: And he's the one to stretch the defense, but no,
- 32:24Speaker 2: that's all I got running back. I think it's pretty clear.
- 32:27Speaker 2: I mean, it's Swift and Mununga and you don't have
- 32:29Speaker 2: to worry about anything else. You can play them both again.
- 32:32Speaker 2: I believe I don't have the exact numbers, but when
- 32:34Speaker 2: they played last last year in like week 12 or
- 32:37Speaker 2: Thanksgiving weekend, they really use both of them and just
- 32:40Speaker 2: pounded the football. A lot of third and shorts made
- 32:43Speaker 2: life really easy. Granted, again, it's easier with Cale Williams
- 32:46Speaker 2: and his rushing upside. The defense has to account for him.
- 32:49Speaker 2: But I am fine with Mnangai and Swift in the
- 32:53Speaker 2: same lineup as well, getting almost all of the work.
- 32:56Speaker 2: As far as the Eagles side, oh, man. Obviously, Saquon.
- 33:01Speaker 2: I think he's a good play. But, like, Tank's 5K.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Shipley's 3,400. They're clearly pivots in that kicker defense and
- 33:08Speaker 2: Wicks range. He's going to be lower owned than all
- 33:11Speaker 2: of them. But if Saquon... doesn't get hurt. He has,
- 33:15Speaker 2: he had a stinger, like he's going to be having
- 33:17Speaker 2: his normal workload. What does tank need to do at 5k?
- 33:20Speaker 2: Probably a touchdown. That's plus 650. That's like Saquon breaking
- 33:24Speaker 2: off a long run or catch and needing a breather
- 33:26Speaker 2: and him just punching it in. And again, with the
- 33:28Speaker 2: tush push equity, it's pretty tough. Like it's almost, you're
- 33:33Speaker 2: playing it just to be straight contrarian. And Will Shipley
- 33:35Speaker 2: actually has a real price tag at 3,400 too. So
- 33:39Speaker 2: I think I really probably only have three running backs
- 33:41Speaker 2: in my pool and that's the, Saquon, Swift, Mnangai, but
- 33:44Speaker 2: I do like all three. I think I prefer more
- 33:47Speaker 2: at the captain, at least Saquon, Swift than the flex,
- 33:51Speaker 2: but I don't know if that's necessarily true. I just,
- 33:54Speaker 2: they both can fully get there. The best two touchdown
- 33:56Speaker 2: props on the slate, minus 110 Saquon, plus 100 Swift.
- 34:00Speaker 2: The next best is Hertz at plus 160. So I
- 34:03Speaker 2: do think you want running backs in this game.
- 34:05Speaker 1: I think the double. So we had the Bijan, Brian Robinson.
- 34:08Speaker 1: When was that? Thursday?
- 34:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 34:11Speaker 1: Thursday night football. We got the Bijan up top, Brian
- 34:13Speaker 1: Robinson and the flex. You can have a swift, but
- 34:15Speaker 1: none guy flip. And it could be either of them
- 34:17Speaker 1: because they both are just so electric with the ball
- 34:19Speaker 1: at hand. And then. Like you said, you could get
- 34:21Speaker 1: some check downs from Keenum, get the ball out quick.
- 34:23Speaker 1: It's to one of those guys. And then they just
- 34:24Speaker 1: get free and get loose. So I think that's interesting.
- 34:27Speaker 1: I also think it would be interesting just to use
- 34:29Speaker 1: both of them together in the flex, even like you get,
- 34:32Speaker 1: then you can really stack up the way the pricing
- 34:34Speaker 1: sorts out. It's like, you'd have nobody of Keenum, Keenum,
- 34:37Speaker 1: no burden, no Loveland, no, uh, Odun say not like
- 34:40Speaker 1: you'd be getting nothing else on Chicago. It would be
- 34:43Speaker 1: a four, two, but how many people are going to
- 34:44Speaker 1: run a four, two with money on the table with, um,
- 34:47Speaker 1: two bears running backs. And people say, well, some are
- 34:50Speaker 1: for sure. But then again, who's your captain. That's another thing.
- 34:53Speaker 2: All right.
- 34:53Speaker 1: So four twos are popular. I think some people are
- 34:56Speaker 1: going to run the two running backs together. Fine. But
- 34:58Speaker 1: then what's your setup with the lineup and the captain
- 35:00Speaker 1: and how many things there. So one back, this one
- 35:03Speaker 1: was from earlier, uh, Earth's captain.
- 35:06Speaker 2: Not for me. I don't even know how many snaps
- 35:09Speaker 2: he's going to play. He would need two touchdowns. I'll, I'll,
- 35:12Speaker 2: I'll have some of the flex for sure. But what
- 35:14Speaker 2: about you? Are you going to have any? Yeah, I
- 35:16Speaker 2: think he's cheap enough on a slate where no one's
- 35:19Speaker 2: cheap that I get, I mean, Higby had a great
- 35:22Speaker 2: game yesterday, so I don't mess.
- 35:23Speaker 1: It up for that. That's what I was going to say.
- 35:25Speaker 1: That lineup everyone's talking about. That was up there. That's
- 35:28Speaker 1: the one. And you saw it too, that that was
- 35:30Speaker 1: a Higby, Higby build, right? Go collect said it came close.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Nobody cares. Work harder. That's why we got the sign man.
- 35:35Speaker 1: But the, the thing about hurts and I don't like,
- 35:39Speaker 1: he's not Goddard first of all, but, and he's literally
- 35:41Speaker 1: coming back from who knows what's going on.
- 35:43Speaker 2: Like he wasn't with a terrible leg injury that he
- 35:46Speaker 2: was rehabbing from, from us.
- 35:48Speaker 1: So it's like the only thing is, and it would
- 35:51Speaker 1: be crazy. I mean, I don't foresee this by any means,
- 35:53Speaker 1: but it'd be building for it, but like two, one
- 35:55Speaker 1: yard touchdowns. What's that do? and then you kind of
- 35:59Speaker 1: can fit whatever you want. You'd have to get different
- 36:00Speaker 1: combos around it, but I just don't know if he's
- 36:02Speaker 1: going to be like you got last night as a
- 36:05Speaker 1: prime example, to me, Ertz people know the name, but
- 36:08Speaker 1: like nobody's clicking Ertz tonight. He's a, he's at Higby
- 36:10Speaker 1: levels of captain ownership. And that's the difference. It's, it's
- 36:13Speaker 1: when like, I think people don't focus on this enough
- 36:16Speaker 1: or follow it or understand it or whatever, but it's like,
- 36:19Speaker 1: I'm trying to find an example. There's not many on
- 36:21Speaker 1: this slate to be honest, but let's say Wicks got
- 36:24Speaker 1: steamed up to like four or 5% in the captain three,
- 36:27Speaker 1: three to 5%. It's not about the three to 5%
- 36:29Speaker 1: because that's not that much still in the, in the
- 36:32Speaker 1: grand scheme of things. But what people are missing is
- 36:35Speaker 1: like when it's a very popular value play captain, uh,
- 36:39Speaker 1: then that allows you just to jam in the five
- 36:42Speaker 1: best plays. Like I hope you're playing a 10 person
- 36:44Speaker 1: or less tournament. And even there, it might still be
- 36:46Speaker 1: duped because if it's that popular and it checks out
- 36:49Speaker 1: that well, then people could be on it. But when
- 36:51Speaker 1: it's Higby, when the whole world's on Ferguson and then
- 36:55Speaker 1: there's other options and there's all of these things, the
- 36:58Speaker 1: way that works is, Not only do you leave some
- 37:01Speaker 1: money on the table so you make sure you don't
- 37:02Speaker 1: completely dupe it. That's why my Higbee was a unique
- 37:05Speaker 1: lineup last night. The other Higbee that was in first
- 37:07Speaker 1: was only duped once. And that's just luck of the draw.
- 37:10Speaker 1: There's so many tournaments. It was playing to be a
- 37:12Speaker 1: solo though. So it's like, that's the difference. If you
- 37:16Speaker 1: have a guy like that tonight that you like, like
- 37:18Speaker 1: an Ertz or a Lemon or something like that, like
- 37:21Speaker 1: Lemon might be one or 2%. Just don't max it
- 37:23Speaker 1: all out and then think about the rest of the lineup.
- 37:25Speaker 1: But you're not really getting... Um, you know, a scenario
- 37:28Speaker 1: like last night where it was like, Ferguson was jammed
- 37:30Speaker 1: at the captain already knowing on Higby. Well, that's to me,
- 37:34Speaker 1: that's where you're looking for leverage that you can get it.
- 37:36Speaker 1: And it's not that crazy. Like Higby had a better
- 37:39Speaker 1: game because no Ferguson coming back, or he kind of
- 37:41Speaker 1: came back to the sideline, never came back in, but
- 37:43Speaker 1: you know what I mean? That's a spot where you
- 37:45Speaker 1: can also leverage it. So it's just, I don't like
- 37:47Speaker 1: playing the cheap captains in the lottery style portfolio tournament
- 37:52Speaker 1: type stuff. where you're just going to land on the
- 37:54Speaker 1: same lineup as everybody else. I don't know if you
- 37:56Speaker 1: got anything else to add there.
- 37:58Speaker 2: No, you just need them when you're doing that. Yeah,
- 38:01Speaker 2: like when you're making the punts, even if no one
- 38:03Speaker 2: has them, don't fall into the same roster build. But
- 38:06Speaker 2: on most slates, you still need them to usually have
- 38:08Speaker 2: a solid game, and Pigby most definitely had a solid game.
- 38:11Speaker 1: You didn't need them either. Like, stay off my grass
- 38:13Speaker 1: is right. I mean, how classic to have a name
- 38:15Speaker 1: as stay off my grass. Like, old man yells at
- 38:17Speaker 1: the cloud. We're not talking about this, the winner. We're
- 38:19Speaker 1: talking about how you can use a certain play to
- 38:22Speaker 1: your advantage. And it's not, again, not about the play.
- 38:24Speaker 1: It's how you play them. We're talking about how that
- 38:26Speaker 1: would work to your advantage on a slate like this,
- 38:30Speaker 1: where you're getting unique, being able to actually have a
- 38:33Speaker 1: chance to ship the whole tournament outright for all the money,
- 38:36Speaker 1: but not be playing stupid. It's like, obviously Higby could
- 38:39Speaker 1: catch passes, whether or not Ferguson stayed healthy or not.
- 38:42Speaker 1: It gets better if Ferguson leaves the game, but you're
- 38:45Speaker 1: not building it or cheering for that. It's just noting
- 38:47Speaker 1: how you could use it to your advantage. My last
- 38:49Speaker 1: thing on wide on running back, then we'll go to
- 38:51Speaker 1: wide receiver. I don't know who it's going to be,
- 38:55Speaker 1: but if you had the bill, like, I think there
- 38:56Speaker 1: could be like a Bigsby spot. I know you mentioned
- 38:58Speaker 1: him quickly and like kind of thought around it and
- 39:00Speaker 1: obviously Shipley's still there and all that and ship it nation.
- 39:02Speaker 1: We kind of got to play them. You're, you got
- 39:04Speaker 1: to just, you know, endorse it. But just noting like
- 39:06Speaker 1: those guys, it's what type of build are you putting
- 39:09Speaker 1: them into? And that's what you have to think about.
- 39:11Speaker 2: So Eagles dominate. I think it would be my favorite,
- 39:14Speaker 2: almost prefer them with Saquon, kind of like how Bijan
- 39:16Speaker 2: and Brian got there on Thursday where, I mean, why
- 39:20Speaker 2: roll Bijan out there? Let's get Brian in the box.
- 39:22Speaker 2: Eagles up 28-3 or something. Then you'll see them come
- 39:26Speaker 2: in and by then Saquon already does the damage. That's
- 39:28Speaker 2: my favorite scripts to put those. guys in.
- 39:30Speaker 1: There's the core tonight. It's, it's Barkley captain, Bigsby flex, Eagles,
- 39:36Speaker 1: D flex, run it.
- 39:38Speaker 2: See what happened. Can you get the late pick? Can
- 39:40Speaker 2: you get the late pick six? Like the Broncos got
- 39:42Speaker 2: it done, but yeah, also to the, that was crazy. Like,
- 39:44Speaker 2: like Higby would have been there if it wasn't for Mumfield,
- 39:47Speaker 2: like another cheapie just had to nuke one drive, three
- 39:50Speaker 2: straight balls and just boom. Like that's the reason that,
- 39:53Speaker 2: and Nevis had a great game. So things got jumbled
- 39:56Speaker 2: up at the bottom where everyone smashed, but if Mumfield
- 39:59Speaker 2: doesn't have that drive, like you need, you need Higby. Yeah. Agreed.
- 40:03Speaker 1: And it's like, that's also a product of how the
- 40:06Speaker 1: slate plays out. Like you said, you get that Mumfield
- 40:08Speaker 1: huge touchdown and all that stuff is just crazy. But
- 40:11Speaker 1: the Denver, I forgot about that. The Denver, touchdown at
- 40:15Speaker 1: the end the broncos so that's that's crazy as well
- 40:17Speaker 1: but yeah you need that take us into wide receiver
- 40:20Speaker 1: title we talked a little bit about our boy wicks
- 40:22Speaker 1: you know devonta smith obviously the guy getting the most
- 40:24Speaker 1: ownership you mentioned about uh burdens abilities and what he
- 40:27Speaker 1: could do for your lineup and sort of he could
- 40:29Speaker 1: open this game up too right if they get something
- 40:31Speaker 1: going to him early or anything like that so think
- 40:33Speaker 1: about it from that perspective but what's your thoughts here
- 40:35Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position.
- 40:37Speaker 2: Easy on the Eagle side, it's Wicks, Devonta Smith, Lemon.
- 40:41Speaker 2: When we're talking flex, to be honest, I'd probably go Wicks, Lemon,
- 40:45Speaker 2: Devonta Smith. Honestly, I don't love too much salary, $ 4, 400, $ 4, 200.
- 40:50Speaker 2: Good price tags, ability to leave money. Like you said,
- 40:53Speaker 2: you're going to have some Smith teams that go directly
- 40:56Speaker 2: to Wicks. I probably will myself. On the Bears side,
- 41:02Speaker 2: Adunze is just so overpriced, in my opinion, even though
- 41:05Speaker 2: he's going to be the lowest-owned player. In the flex,
- 41:08Speaker 2: I do think Adunze probably lower on than Raymond when
- 41:10Speaker 2: it's all said and done. We have it pretty close.
- 41:12Speaker 2: But 7,400, just really hard for me to get there.
- 41:15Speaker 2: Bird in 7,600, I'll definitely take some shots at. Just
- 41:18Speaker 2: the best receiver can get the ball in his hands
- 41:21Speaker 2: in different ways. But still, the props are bad for
- 41:24Speaker 2: pretty much all these guys at price. Raymond, though, I
- 41:27Speaker 2: do like a decent bit at 3,800. But man, Raymond, Kalief, Raymond, Chalk,
- 41:32Speaker 2: it's kind of what we're looking at. He's getting a
- 41:35Speaker 2: good amount of targets. None of them are really downfield
- 41:37Speaker 2: for much. So I feel like it's a floor play
- 41:39Speaker 2: and a floor play at chalk in a large field tournament.
- 41:43Speaker 2: It's not my favorite way to go about it. So
- 41:45Speaker 2: I really don't love this bears stuff as much, but
- 41:48Speaker 2: then the whole field bills, the Eagles. So I'm almost
- 41:50Speaker 2: forced to play some. And that kind of comes back to,
- 41:53Speaker 2: I just, I don't love this late personally, but Hey,
- 41:55Speaker 2: I'm happy kind of because again, last week I didn't like,
- 41:58Speaker 2: and I won and I liked, and I lost. So yeah,
- 42:01Speaker 2: I'm still playing it. Of course.
- 42:02Speaker 1: Yeah. What's your thoughts on this? We'll give it to
- 42:04Speaker 1: the chat. Like this question from our boy, Sean Sully says,
- 42:07Speaker 1: do you think they incorporate Barkley more in the passing
- 42:09Speaker 1: game with Goddard out now?
- 42:11Speaker 2: Yeah, they should. I think it probably depends more on
- 42:14Speaker 2: what the bears defense does. Are they getting aggressive? Are
- 42:17Speaker 2: they playing zone one high safety to eye safety so
- 42:20Speaker 2: much in the NFL nowadays? I think they were talking
- 42:23Speaker 2: about it last night, Sunday night's game. I've watched so
- 42:25Speaker 2: many games. I don't know, but what the safeties do
- 42:28Speaker 2: pretty much depends on everything. When you play defense, too
- 42:30Speaker 2: deep nowadays, you're inviting the run and teams are more
- 42:32Speaker 2: likely to do it. If you're getting all run over,
- 42:35Speaker 2: then you stack the box more and you play one safety,
- 42:37Speaker 2: they take shots. So I think it's really what the
- 42:39Speaker 2: bears do on defense and how the game flow starts
- 42:43Speaker 2: depends on that. Um, but yeah, it'd be smart to,
- 42:45Speaker 2: I wonder if the.
- 42:46Speaker 1: E I mean, we'll get to the Eagles D later,
- 42:47Speaker 1: but it's, it's a little inflated. I can see it
- 42:49Speaker 1: from ownership projections already. Cause people see going up against
- 42:52Speaker 1: the third string quarterback, et cetera, et cetera.
- 42:54Speaker 2: But, and just people can't go all the way down
- 42:57Speaker 2: like the one K two K options. I feel like
- 42:59Speaker 2: it just leads right into that kicker D Wicks lemon range.
- 43:03Speaker 2: And it's pretty hard to ignore, but yeah.
- 43:06Speaker 1: I think, yeah. What are the Eagles 5,200 on this slate?
- 43:09Speaker 1: So they're like, you know, they're a lot more than
- 43:11Speaker 1: some of these other guys that you can play the
- 43:12Speaker 1: Eagles or you can play Wicks lemon, like you said, or,
- 43:15Speaker 1: you know, Bigsby, you can play, there's a ton of
- 43:17Speaker 1: options you could flip to there as well. If you
- 43:19Speaker 1: don't think that's the case, but that would be like
- 43:21Speaker 1: the other side putting up some points as well with Chicago.
- 43:23Speaker 1: But I think it's at least somewhat interesting to.
- 43:27Speaker 2: Any other takes? Do you have differed for me? Like,
- 43:29Speaker 2: are you playing or not? Of course you're playing. We
- 43:31Speaker 2: play a lot of teams, but like if you were
- 43:33Speaker 2: playing one team or something, Odunze, Kalief, Raymond, like what
- 43:37Speaker 2: do you think of these guys?
- 43:39Speaker 1: Not as high on Odunze or Raymond, right? I definitely
- 43:42Speaker 1: like Smith is still fine, especially like I said, I'll
- 43:45Speaker 1: put him in the captain more than the flex. Probably
- 43:47Speaker 1: that's where I see an opportunity. Um, but if you're
- 43:50Speaker 1: a Hertz captain, then, you know, I'm fine with Smith
- 43:52Speaker 1: in the flex if you're doing that. But like, I
- 43:54Speaker 1: like Wicks. I like Luther burden. The third, I like lemon. Uh,
- 43:58Speaker 1: the chat was talking with this guy. I got a
- 43:59Speaker 1: little bit of them in my run earlier too. Just
- 44:01Speaker 1: the first look, but like, uh, Jadae Walker, I don't,
- 44:04Speaker 1: I'm not, it's like always like, I know like it
- 44:07Speaker 1: is technically linked to this, but it's also just really,
- 44:10Speaker 1: cause you're looking for like, options on the slate like
- 44:13Speaker 1: he's kind of the same price right in between urts
- 44:15Speaker 1: and months he's he's right there just above uh darius
- 44:18Speaker 1: cooper who i don't think anyone's really going crazy with
- 44:20Speaker 1: anyway but just noting it it's like they say like
- 44:22Speaker 1: oh but he played with keenum before you know in
- 44:25Speaker 1: the preseason or whatever so it's like maybe maybe something
- 44:27Speaker 1: like that but i don't know he's not someone i'm
- 44:29Speaker 1: high on by any means so just noting it i
- 44:31Speaker 1: will say our guy um ham hock super high on
- 44:35Speaker 1: sadiq yesterday and says, hot take, Luther Burden scores a
- 44:39Speaker 1: 45-yard TD on a reverse. He's calling the whole way.
- 44:43Speaker 1: He's too sharp.
- 44:43Speaker 2: I tried to do that as a joke.
- 44:44Speaker 1: This guy's actually calling the dead-on one. Like, he's 45
- 44:48Speaker 1: exact yards, full-on touchdown all the way there, and on
- 44:52Speaker 1: a reverse. What do you think about it? I mean,
- 44:54Speaker 1: you said it. This could be it.
- 44:55Speaker 2: Yeah, no, too sharp is Hamai for sure. But I
- 44:58Speaker 2: do think, again, why Burden was my favorite is you
- 45:01Speaker 2: can get him the ball in multiple different ways, screens, reverses.
- 45:05Speaker 2: play action downfield he's by far their most explosive so
- 45:08Speaker 2: i mean yeah if you if you call that i
- 45:10Speaker 2: mean yeah he went right down to the actual yardage
- 45:12Speaker 2: so that's a buy a lottery ticket or a lot
- 45:15Speaker 2: if you somehow think that one.
- 45:17Speaker 1: If you get yeah if it's 44 though you're out
- 45:19Speaker 1: man yeah then don't do it sorry buddy not good
- 45:22Speaker 1: enough come back next year uh what.
- 45:25Speaker 2: Else Sadiq is a dog. I agree. Sorry.
- 45:28Speaker 1: No, you're good. He definitely was yesterday for sure. And
- 45:30Speaker 1: I mean, he is, but I'm saying like the perfect
- 45:33Speaker 1: storm yesterday. And I think that's what we just went
- 45:35Speaker 1: through on takedown breakdown was like a lot of people
- 45:37Speaker 1: just immediately went to Williams. And it's like Sadiq was
- 45:40Speaker 1: right there already. No Mason Taylor on top of that,
- 45:43Speaker 1: by the way.
- 45:43Speaker 2: So it was the snap counts for me. But then
- 45:45Speaker 2: I just looked this morning. He only played 58% of
- 45:48Speaker 2: snaps or in week three as well, because he went
- 45:51Speaker 2: 42% to 36%, which is what scared me. Then he
- 45:55Speaker 2: only played 58% of snaps, though, in week three, and
- 45:57Speaker 2: he does that. So it shows that a lot of
- 46:00Speaker 2: his snaps are pretty high-leverage stuff. But, man, without Adani Mitchell,
- 46:05Speaker 2: they clearly didn't like that Williams guy much. It was
- 46:07Speaker 2: just so concentrated between Garrett Wilson and Sadiq.
- 46:10Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if you saw that when you
- 46:11Speaker 1: looked at it, too, but I think someone was saying
- 46:13Speaker 1: this morning that he was out there a bunch, just
- 46:14Speaker 1: didn't go his way, and obviously still an option.
- 46:17Speaker 2: Williams? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he was. I think he was.
- 46:20Speaker 2: Let's see. Yeah, 89% of snaps. Like, it just, man,
- 46:23Speaker 2: he was getting cardio in. Like, it was just Garrett
- 46:25Speaker 2: Wilson and Sadiq. Like, there was no one else. But
- 46:28Speaker 2: for sure, someone that cheap that played that many snaps
- 46:31Speaker 2: in that game. It was a good play.
- 46:32Speaker 1: I think I saw it somewhere, but it was the follow-up.
- 46:34Speaker 1: Because Wilson got hurt late, and it almost was like
- 46:36Speaker 1: nothing was made of it because of the way that
- 46:38Speaker 1: everything happened. But did he end up just clearing concussion protocol,
- 46:41Speaker 1: or what happened with him?
- 46:42Speaker 2: Do you know? I thought he– I didn't know that.
- 46:44Speaker 2: When I'm watching, I'm watching every single game on two
- 46:47Speaker 2: TVs and stuff and only being able to listen to one.
- 46:50Speaker 2: So I didn't know that, to be honest. On his
- 46:52Speaker 2: touchdown or after his touchdown?
- 46:54Speaker 1: I thought it was like later in that game. I
- 46:57Speaker 1: was trying to see. Cleared after concussion evaluation. That's what
- 47:00Speaker 1: it was. It was very late in the game, but
- 47:01Speaker 1: he already did his work, so it didn't matter. But, yeah,
- 47:03Speaker 1: that was one thing I wanted to see just to
- 47:06Speaker 1: be sure. How much of the Raymond stuff, our boy
- 47:09Speaker 1: Nade says, is just Caleb making plays happen? Hard to say.
- 47:13Speaker 1: I mean, the first week, obviously, was all those targets
- 47:15Speaker 1: that people saw, but we'd seen that before with guys.
- 47:17Speaker 1: So it's always tricky to figure out, but that's why
- 47:20Speaker 1: I prefer– I.
- 47:21Speaker 2: Mean, Caleb also can extend, like, the play more, and
- 47:24Speaker 2: I don't know if that necessarily is to Raymond's, like,
- 47:27Speaker 2: strong suit. I think Raymond being the slot guy gadget
- 47:30Speaker 2: guy that get the ball quick for five yards might
- 47:32Speaker 2: even suit him more for Keenum, but I don't know.
- 47:35Speaker 1: Yeah. So a couple of things here that all tie
- 47:36Speaker 1: together so we can move on after this, but just
- 47:38Speaker 1: like says, you know, everyone acting like the spread is
- 47:40Speaker 1: massive and it's 4.5. I think the bears are competitive home.
- 47:43Speaker 1: Hope the fee, hope the field keeps it like this
- 47:45Speaker 1: all day. I think you're right and wrong. Not rudely
- 47:48Speaker 1: just factory. I think like, yeah, everyone is acting like
- 47:50Speaker 1: it's a massive spread, but the lineups aren't acting like that.
- 47:53Speaker 1: As we talked about off the top, like people are
- 47:55Speaker 1: not building the, a lot of five ones. You're seeing
- 47:58Speaker 1: four twos and three threes still be pretty prevalent, at
- 48:00Speaker 1: least from what I'm seeing early on. It's just too,
- 48:02Speaker 1: the way the builds work out, we explained, it's kind
- 48:05Speaker 1: of like the pricing breakdown when there's all the 10
- 48:07Speaker 1: K guys on one side, all the mid range guys
- 48:10Speaker 1: on the other, and then flip back and say the
- 48:12Speaker 1: values that people would want to play. Like, Wicks, Lemon,
- 48:16Speaker 1: and I'll give Ertz a little bit of credit just
- 48:17Speaker 1: for the name value, let's say. Well, that's going to
- 48:20Speaker 1: lean to a lot of 4-2 Philly and 3-3 Philly.
- 48:23Speaker 1: So if you think it can be a close spread,
- 48:27Speaker 1: but it can still be dominated by one side in
- 48:29Speaker 1: a DFS game, just like it can be a blowout
- 48:32Speaker 1: for a team and then other people can still come
- 48:35Speaker 1: along because the way one side's more condensed, one side
- 48:37Speaker 1: spreads out more. So the main thing I was getting
- 48:39Speaker 1: at here, Title, is just thinking about like how you're building.
- 48:43Speaker 1: I love Ross. He's always in the chat saying, you know,
- 48:45Speaker 1: supporting Ross Klein. Great dude says, what about Cooper guy?
- 48:48Speaker 1: We don't know if I knew I would just put
- 48:49Speaker 1: them in my lineups or not. Like, is it, no
- 48:51Speaker 1: one will know, but what you need to do is
- 48:53Speaker 1: build accordingly. So what lineup that you can see as
- 48:57Speaker 1: a possibility, it's like your, like our leverage lanes, your lane,
- 49:00Speaker 1: what lineup would feature Cooper being involved? Is it, Uh,
- 49:04Speaker 1: you know, Barkley goes up early Hertz isn't really needed,
- 49:08Speaker 1: but late in the game, Cooper catches a touchdown. Then
- 49:10Speaker 1: you got to build that that way. If it's no
- 49:13Speaker 1: Hertz has himself a night and decides to get one
- 49:15Speaker 1: more and reward his boy, Cooper, at the end for
- 49:18Speaker 1: the game-winning last week to give him another one this
- 49:21Speaker 1: week before they kind of settle off and sail into
- 49:23Speaker 1: the sunset, well, then that's probably that lineup with Hurts
- 49:27Speaker 1: up top and Cooper in the flex. Is he the
- 49:29Speaker 1: Mumpfield of last night? And he fits in that way.
- 49:32Speaker 1: Is Jadae Walker the play in the same spot? It's
- 49:35Speaker 1: still a 5-1 or something heavy on Philly's side, But
- 49:38Speaker 1: it's like at the end of the game when Philly
- 49:39Speaker 1: lets off the gas, it's Jadae Walker getting a touchdown
- 49:43Speaker 1: because that's who Keenum knows. And I have Keenum still
- 49:44Speaker 1: in the damn game. Who knows? This guy can stay
- 49:46Speaker 1: healthy and take some of these hits. But just noting it,
- 49:50Speaker 1: apply all these things. So it's not against Ross, just
- 49:52Speaker 1: using it as the example for you guys. But that
- 49:54Speaker 1: one is a big one for me. and why I
- 49:57Speaker 1: also like to check my lineups over when I build
- 50:00Speaker 1: my portfolio. Like I tell people this all the time,
- 50:01Speaker 1: everybody just reviews the results. Well, first of all, most
- 50:04Speaker 1: people don't review shit title the next day. They just
- 50:06Speaker 1: move on deposit again and go play the next slate.
- 50:08Speaker 1: But yeah, For those that review, I think it's still
- 50:11Speaker 1: doing yourself a disservice when you just look at what
- 50:14Speaker 1: happened after the fact. Because first of all, I'm not
- 50:16Speaker 1: at results. I'm usually looking at like, how did I play?
- 50:18Speaker 1: What was my sim ROI? Like, how did things shake off?
- 50:20Speaker 1: I'm checking all that stuff. But I'm talking about checking
- 50:23Speaker 1: your lineups before you submit them. Same reason I don't
- 50:26Speaker 1: like to set a lot of rules in Showdown. Well,
- 50:28Speaker 1: I think you should do this. You should only do that. Well,
- 50:30Speaker 1: but the answer is anybody thinking means they don't know.
- 50:33Speaker 1: We're just thinking about it. So we don't know what
- 50:35Speaker 1: the answer is. So we've got to build accordingly.
- 50:37Speaker 2: Is there anything.
- 50:38Speaker 1: Side note on like a strategy perspective, just like pre-slate, post-slate,
- 50:41Speaker 1: anything that you do like that or differently that you
- 50:43Speaker 1: think others could apply to their game?
- 50:45Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. I'm always looking at what I'm doing
- 50:48Speaker 2: versus what are the pros doing, how am I simming,
- 50:50Speaker 2: all that stuff. One unfortunate thing, I guess it wasn't
- 50:54Speaker 2: necessarily unfortunate, but I don't build too early in the
- 50:58Speaker 2: sense of like I wait for news. But I do–
- 51:00Speaker 2: like I thought Zay was going to miss. So like
- 51:02Speaker 2: after the show and stuff, I was building– that. And
- 51:05Speaker 2: then I got most of it done, but because I'm
- 51:07Speaker 2: playing on multiple sites and different tournaments and cash and everything,
- 51:11Speaker 2: then we got news that he was almost in. So
- 51:14Speaker 2: I had to almost run my process and all this
- 51:16Speaker 2: stuff to get it in without being able to adjust
- 51:19Speaker 2: my own stuff. So like initially I'm building and I'm
- 51:22Speaker 2: bumping Michael Wilson and Trey McBride and all this, but
- 51:25Speaker 2: then now I'm flagged for time because got to get
- 51:28Speaker 2: FanDuel and Giraffe Kings in and then cash. And then
- 51:30Speaker 2: I really just had to kind of trust the process,
- 51:32Speaker 2: which Again, you should have a process for reasons like that,
- 51:35Speaker 2: and I felt good about it, but this year I
- 51:38Speaker 2: have liked to put a little I know ball spin
- 51:40Speaker 2: and stuff on, which I wasn't able to do as
- 51:42Speaker 2: much this past week, which I was a little sad about,
- 51:45Speaker 2: but yeah, that's just something.
- 51:47Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. I think for the Zay situation,
- 51:49Speaker 1: that's pretty much what I did, but in a little opposite.
- 51:52Speaker 1: I was supposed to put it in the Discord yesterday,
- 51:54Speaker 1: but my I know ball spin was like I'm not
- 51:56Speaker 1: going to need them. And he ended up being great.
- 51:59Speaker 2: I just played too much. Like before that, like on Fandula,
- 52:02Speaker 2: like 35% Bateman and like 34% Andrews. And I thought
- 52:06Speaker 2: that was a big enough hit to them, which it
- 52:09Speaker 2: clearly was. When Zay is on the field, he is
- 52:11Speaker 2: taking all the attention. I was like, yeah. And I don't,
- 52:14Speaker 2: I didn't think the field would adjust enough. to the
- 52:16Speaker 2: Bateman and stuff. So it was mainly like getting them
- 52:18Speaker 2: out instead of like playing.
- 52:20Speaker 1: The annoying part was, is like Bateman still had so
- 52:22Speaker 1: many chances. The overflow at the end was like a
- 52:24Speaker 1: touchdown waiting to happen. It was over his head, like
- 52:26Speaker 1: just little things like that. So it can still could
- 52:29Speaker 1: have came through, but it's, I like what you said
- 52:31Speaker 1: there because it wasn't just you adapting for it's so important.
- 52:34Speaker 1: I think to, to bring this up, cause I'm, and
- 52:36Speaker 1: I'm glad you did it that way. It wasn't actually
- 52:38Speaker 1: that you were adjusting or wanting to play Zay. For
- 52:41Speaker 1: more Zay. That's what I think people take the wrong
- 52:43Speaker 1: way sometimes. Like, well, so wait, you wanted more Zay? No,
- 52:46Speaker 1: it's how does Zay affect this? Here's another one. Saints
- 52:49Speaker 1: D yesterday was popping and we had them popping on FanDuel,
- 52:52Speaker 1: things like that too. Again, we're going to be wrong
- 52:54Speaker 1: on things also, but like noting it, but like once
- 52:56Speaker 1: Bowers is fully healthy and in ready to go and
- 53:00Speaker 1: like all that type of thought process, you're like, oh, wait,
- 53:02Speaker 1: Like maybe that's not such a good idea. So that's
- 53:04Speaker 1: my like living in the past right now. It's like
- 53:06Speaker 1: Jalen Warren ended up being a freaking workhorse. Could have
- 53:10Speaker 1: had even more, like you said. And the Saints D
- 53:13Speaker 1: were going up against Bowers, Gentee, like almost everybody over
- 53:17Speaker 1: there now at full strength. So I was like, oh man,
- 53:19Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's the best setup. And the
- 53:21Speaker 1: 2v2 was like, my 2v2 was Jadarian Price and the
- 53:24Speaker 1: Saints versus Jalen Walker, or sorry, Jalen Warren and either
- 53:28Speaker 1: the Titans or the Browns. And in hindsight, it's like
- 53:33Speaker 1: Jalen Warren and the Browns is so obvious. And that
- 53:35Speaker 1: actually wouldn't even get, that would've got me third place,
- 53:37Speaker 1: not second, like the other version. But third makes sense
- 53:41Speaker 1: because you're not on Hubbard who everybody's on over there.
- 53:44Speaker 1: So you are on Warren who lots of people are
- 53:46Speaker 1: still on, but you do it with the Cleveland D,
- 53:49Speaker 1: which is not the Titans D 50% owned. And it's
- 53:51Speaker 1: the defense against Hubbard. So most people wouldn't have that again,
- 53:55Speaker 1: that process piece. I'm like thinking about that. Oh, could
- 53:58Speaker 1: have just done that. It's hindsight is 2020, but you
- 54:00Speaker 1: want to win or learn, right? You want to move
- 54:02Speaker 1: on to the next slate. So let's move on to
- 54:04Speaker 1: the next position. Let's go look at the tight ends.
- 54:08Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about Loveland. We talked a
- 54:11Speaker 1: little bit about the name. So this is interesting because
- 54:13Speaker 1: I don't know if any of the tight ends outside
- 54:15Speaker 1: of Loveland are going to be over 10% in flex.
- 54:18Speaker 2: Crazy. I don't think they really should be necessarily though.
- 54:23Speaker 2: I am going, I mean, yeah, just looking at, props
- 54:26Speaker 2: for these guys. Zach Ertz, 10.5, Johnny Mutt, 9.5, Cole Komet, 8.5,
- 54:30Speaker 2: Loveland's expensive, 32.5. With all that being said, though, again,
- 54:35Speaker 2: this whole story we keep talking about is just really
- 54:38Speaker 2: not any value on this slate. 3K and below is terrible. Well,
- 54:42Speaker 2: 3K and below is Zach Ertz, Johnny Mutt, Cole Komet.
- 54:46Speaker 2: You can add in, I guess, EJ Jenkins, the Sam
- 54:49Speaker 2: Roche guy. I actually will play a little probably Sam
- 54:51Speaker 2: Roche because he's $ 600. Like, find me anyone who's within
- 54:55Speaker 2: 1K of him that will even be on the field
- 54:57Speaker 2: a little bit. So for that reason alone, he could
- 54:59Speaker 2: get a zero and it work out on this slate.
- 55:02Speaker 2: But if there's no value at all below 3K, besides
- 55:05Speaker 2: these tight ends, they're going to be on the field.
- 55:08Speaker 2: Let's just hope we get another tight. I mean, it
- 55:09Speaker 2: feels like it's been national tight end week looking at
- 55:12Speaker 2: George Kittle, Brock Bowers, Noah Fant, Jawan Johnson, Davis Allen, Higby. Like,
- 55:18Speaker 2: let's keep it rolling into Monday, I guess, because if
- 55:21Speaker 2: one of these guys are optimal, that'll be an easier
- 55:23Speaker 2: way not to have as many dupes because it almost
- 55:27Speaker 2: gets you on a different roster construction because people are
- 55:29Speaker 2: avoiding this range.
- 55:31Speaker 1: Well, I think it's always a good idea. I know
- 55:32Speaker 1: sometimes we like to look it up and see what
- 55:34Speaker 1: you're doing with these guys that we just randomly talk about.
- 55:38Speaker 1: And one thing that is good, do you know anything
- 55:40Speaker 1: about Sam, anything about this guy at all and what
- 55:41Speaker 1: he looks like or anything?
- 55:43Speaker 2: Nope, I just know he's 600 and zero might be enough.
- 55:46Speaker 2: So if zero is enough at 600, it makes sense.
- 55:48Speaker 1: That is the key, my friends. And that's why you
- 55:50Speaker 1: want to do it because if anybody wants to Google him,
- 55:53Speaker 1: and pulls up these are the first two things that pop.
- 55:55Speaker 2: Up yeah look at that handsome dude well it was.
- 55:58Speaker 1: Like a couple of maybe i'm on the wrong thing just.
- 56:00Speaker 2: Go back oh can't catch can't block yeah.
- 56:02Speaker 1: I was like can't catch can't block and then i
- 56:06Speaker 1: can't find all the other stuff but it was like
- 56:08Speaker 1: there was another one it was i think it was
- 56:09Speaker 1: this one that pops up and then someone had like
- 56:11Speaker 1: one of those um look buddy even went and got
- 56:13Speaker 1: his own thing changed this is he didn't want that
- 56:16Speaker 1: picture This guy got the looks maxing from Clavicular. That guy,
- 56:21Speaker 1: look at this thing. Go back. Here's his picture. It's
- 56:24Speaker 1: like these glasses. I'm trying to see if it's in here.
- 56:27Speaker 1: It's this one. I'm not even going to click it
- 56:28Speaker 1: in case it goes away. Buddy got the shades on
- 56:30Speaker 1: with the little.
- 56:31Speaker 2: The fighting nerds glasses. Yep. Fighting nerds glasses.
- 56:33Speaker 1: And then you go to ESPN. This man had his
- 56:35Speaker 1: PR team write an email to ESPN.com and say, get
- 56:38Speaker 1: that picture changed immediately. Look at this thing. Look at that.
- 56:42Speaker 2: One catch for nine yards might be two catches for
- 56:44Speaker 2: 10 yards and a touchdown after tonight.
- 56:46Speaker 1: One catch for nine yards might be all you need tonight, though.
- 56:49Speaker 2: Exactly. At 600.
- 56:50Speaker 1: So if you go to that, maybe. So getting snaps,
- 56:53Speaker 1: like people said. But to your point, um it's kind
- 56:55Speaker 1: of like an inverted version but not really because he
- 56:58Speaker 1: won't really be played like what's his ownership going to
- 57:00Speaker 1: be one percent the tricky part is the one percent
- 57:03Speaker 1: could be the lineup that holds all the dudes right
- 57:06Speaker 1: so it's like you do got to think about that
- 57:08Speaker 1: somewhat but the other thing is that this makes me
- 57:11Speaker 1: think of now totally separate topic aside from that that's
- 57:13Speaker 1: just my thoughts on that rush play um get it
- 57:16Speaker 1: totally and how i would build is leave a little
- 57:18Speaker 1: bit of money on the table and not play the
- 57:19Speaker 1: five main dudes but just noting it And last thought
- 57:23Speaker 1: on like, that could be the Devonta Smith, drop them
- 57:25Speaker 1: down to wicks. Well, that would be a way to
- 57:27Speaker 1: do it differently. Now you've got a 1% or in
- 57:29Speaker 1: a lineup and no chance that people have that. So
- 57:32Speaker 1: that's something there. The other thing though, is like back
- 57:34Speaker 1: to now the, you know, the Devonta Smith, the Luther burden,
- 57:39Speaker 1: the Swifts, the menung guys, the Loveland's. I don't, you
- 57:43Speaker 1: didn't like love them as much. We're just noting it
- 57:45Speaker 1: kind of like these mid tier captains more as the
- 57:47Speaker 1: show has gone on, because now it's like, to me,
- 57:49Speaker 1: I can really do so much. And yeah, it sucks
- 57:53Speaker 1: not to have Jalen Hurts or Barkley up top. I'll
- 57:55Speaker 1: have them in some, but I'm guessing I'm underweight. Maybe
- 57:57Speaker 1: I could be field with Barkley if he comes back
- 58:00Speaker 1: down some, but I can pretty much guarantee I'll be
- 58:03Speaker 1: underweight on Hurts just based on this because, you know,
- 58:06Speaker 1: best captain probably, but best for this slate. We'll see
- 58:10Speaker 1: and how it plays out because all the other options
- 58:12Speaker 1: that we've just mentioned. So I think that it could
- 58:14Speaker 1: be interesting from that perspective, at least some. Oh, damn.
- 58:18Speaker 1: Now I messed up and I clicked this ESPN page
- 58:20Speaker 1: and I'm getting like a rush highlight here. Let's see
- 58:25Speaker 1: if this is correct, man. This guy is just busting guys, man.
- 58:29Speaker 1: Just crunching them all the way into the end zone.
- 58:31Speaker 1: Does three spins off these guys. What did he go to? Stanford?
- 58:38Speaker 1: Stanford guy? I don't know. San Jose or Stanford. Whichever
- 58:41Speaker 1: side he was on here. Sam Rush. Yeah, I mean.
- 58:44Speaker 2: People are now probably like, why don't we keep talking
- 58:47Speaker 2: about this guy? I mean, Johnny Muntz, you can also like,
- 58:49Speaker 2: will be in play a little bit as well. Again,
- 58:51Speaker 2: the moral of the story, these guys are less than
- 58:54Speaker 2: 10% and they're in a range that like no one's
- 58:58Speaker 2: really playable. So at least they're going to be on
- 58:59Speaker 2: the field a little bit.
- 59:00Speaker 1: The glasses all make sense now, by the way, though,
- 59:02Speaker 1: the Muntz punt is good as well. We go on
- 59:04Speaker 1: these little tangents once it's late in the show and
- 59:06Speaker 1: people already know what it is, but um major academic
- 59:09Speaker 1: now we understand the glasses with the tape buddy this
- 59:12Speaker 1: guy got a on a come up here huge 69th
- 59:15Speaker 1: overall in the draft by the way too nice nice
- 59:18Speaker 1: place for him this past year stanford grad 3.8 gpa
- 59:24Speaker 1: working towards a master's degree with a focal with a
- 59:27Speaker 1: focus on ai and engineering.
- 59:29Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a sharp dude for sure.
- 59:31Speaker 1: Buddy's just crushing it. Yeah, Kemet is on the other
- 59:34Speaker 1: side too, by the way. No one wants to talk
- 59:35Speaker 1: about him, but he's been the guy that's been hitting
- 59:38Speaker 1: the end zone there for Loveland when we play Loveland.
- 59:40Speaker 1: So I don't know. I think the tight ends are
- 59:42Speaker 1: the good value options that you could punt to here.
- 59:44Speaker 1: Johnny Munt, the punt, we talked about it. I don't
- 59:47Speaker 1: even know if Ertz is going to hit 10% by
- 59:49Speaker 1: the end of the day, so we'll have to wait
- 59:50Speaker 1: and see. But I think there's a ton of ways
- 59:52Speaker 1: that you could go here in the flex position that
- 59:54Speaker 1: I'd be interested with these guys being your options. And
- 59:57Speaker 1: this would also be where... Again, can you play them
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: both of like a Wicks and a Munt or something?
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: You can, but it's also like could be a spot
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: where you play him instead of him and it's not
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: probably what you want, but it's like that would be
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: the way that it would get there and you'd be
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: able to have a different setup. So Sam Rush, that's
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: the guy. Now kickers and Ds to round it out.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: Anything on the kickers and Ds?
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I like them. They're going to get owned.
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: I think my favorite would probably be just Santos because
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: any Elliott or Eagles defense can go. to Santos. And
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: I do think the bears move the ball. I think
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: it is, does play to a lower scoring game. The
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: one thing though, I'm a little nervous about defenses besides
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: the ownership on the Eagles is you almost want like
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: people kind of get confused for defenses, the upside and
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: for them to be optimal. You almost want the other
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: team to drop back a ton because you have a
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: ton of opportunities to get strip sacks, to get like
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: the Raiders defense yesterday in a high scoring game, like
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: Chuck just kept dropping back and giving them chances and,
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: if I think the bears and the Eagles are kind
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: of going to pound the football, it limits the opportunity
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: that defenses can get sacks, can get chances for pick
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: sixes and all that. So I think I like both
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: kickers more than defenses, mainly because I'm worried again, they're
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: going to pound the football, but it's still 38 year
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: old case kingdom. They can't move. So you can tell
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: yourself that as well.
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: Yeah. I think you said it best with the Santos
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: point versus going against the other two. I think we'll
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: still see, um, I think we'll still see Eagles D
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: slightly higher than Jake Elliott. Like we have it, but
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: it's also, I think a little overinflated to what it is,
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: because I think like you mentioned, like I could just
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: see Swift, my nun guy, the short passes that set
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: them up. Well, like they're not trying to get, you know, people,
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: someone mentioned earlier, do you think you could play badgent and,
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: you know, Keenum goes out, you can do whatever you
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: want on a showdown slate, but it's just saying it.
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: I don't think the Bears are trying to get to
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: that point. They're already down to their QB3. QB2 is
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: the backup tonight coming out of concussion protocol. Do you
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: really think they're trying to get all of this stuff?
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: I don't think so.
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: You would need an injury. I'd be shocked if Keenum
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: has such a bad half and they throw in Badgen after.
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: I mean, maybe, but I feel like this is Keenum's week. Um,
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: I I'd be surprised.
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: I think that's, they're going to try and get to here.
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's going to be that. I
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: think like someone said, it could play a little bit
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: of a, you know, a tighter game than expected, but
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: a tighter game could also be to a lower total
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: as well, where these teams just running clock. That's the
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: thing about like, um, look. burden wicks smith those guys
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: can get loose definitely but also don't like hurts like
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: jay barkley swift manung guy again if they break free
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: and get loose it's going to be a problem for
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: like moving it quickly but otherwise like loveland earths guys
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: like that the other tight ends we mentioned these are
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: just catches over the middle clock burns runs run into
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: wall burns timeouts right like they'll people be trying to
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: do stuff to save time but it's like there's there's
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: a setup here where it could just be a game
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: like that. So remember that when you're building too, and
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: you only got one lineup and you think others are
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: building differently, then you could think about that as well
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: and use it to your advantage to build something that
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: makes a ton of sense, still projects really well, but
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: is for a, just a completely different roster construction, captain
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: and game script than what others are doing. I talk
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: about all the time, but like, um, contrarian correlated constructions,
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: triple C, right? It's like if you can get to
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: something that's contrarian, but it's still correlated, it's like how
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: the game would play out and it's a unique construction
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: to what everybody else is doing, then that can still work.
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: You just need the game to go that way. And
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: if it doesn't, the worst case scenario, you lost money
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: like we always do anyway. Like it's like 80% of
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: the time, 75% of the time you're losing it. for
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: that anyway, but at least build for the, give yourself
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: a chance, right? Don't just build the chalk nuts and say, well,
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: that one projects the best, or this one is the
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: one that I think has the best. This like you,
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: you got to make sure it's for how you want
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: it to actually play out. It's your money that you're
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: putting in on the line. So, all right, man, anything
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: on the fan duel side that you see, we're playing
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: the job of hoop here, just trying to look at this,
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: but anything on the fan duel side.
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: Value is even tougher. And one guy really stands out
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: and that's, uh, Lemon at 3,800. Like he is going
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: to be what really chalky because there's no one in
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: that range. Zach Ertz is 200 less, but still Lemon
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: projects for like three points higher. Will Shipley is down there.
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: But besides that, no one's lower than them. Talking about
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: like who's overpriced, Menungai is 9.6K. Luther Burden is 1,400
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: cheaper than Menungai. So that's just, To be honest, I
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: don't even hate it. You're overspending to be contrarian. But
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: with how I think the game's going to go, it
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: actually makes some sense to me. And then I do
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: think that lowers DeAndre Swift's ownership because he's 11-4. He's
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: 600 more than Devonta Smith. And he's sandwiched in between
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: the Saquon, Jalen Hurts, who people will prioritize. So I
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: think it's almost even more so 5-1 builds on FanDuel
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: than DraftKings. People aren't really going to want to play
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: Bears anymore. So that is a way you can get
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: different if you want. Wicks is all the way up
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: to 7,600. I think this does allow or to force
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: people to play a lot of the kickers, defenses, and
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: then Lemon as the punt because people are still going
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: to want to play the spend-up MVPs like they are
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: on DraftKings. So similar, I think, on both sites where
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: Eagles' dominant builds, even more so maybe on FanDuel, and
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: the value just really screams Lemon. So know that if
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: you plug him in right away.
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: Yeah, the one thing that stands out to me right
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: away is Swift. He's only, what, $ 800 cheaper than Barkley.
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: I think Barkley and Hertz could hit like 50% to
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: 60% MVP ownership over there combined. So, you know, you
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: just can't get ownership on the Chicago guys, especially up top, really,
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: because don't forget the third guy that gets it closer
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: to 60% to 75% up in the MVP is Smith.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: So it's like there's just not many ways. Then people
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: will take some chances on Wicks or things like that.
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: Maybe even the kickers and the D's some over there
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: up in the MVP. So it's like there is not
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: much left on the Chicago side. And you and I
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: talked about it both. I think Swift and Menungai is
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: what is he?
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: He's expensive. He's ninety four.
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: Ninety six hundred.
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: Fourteen four in the MVP. But 14-4 is almost $ 4, 000
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: cheaper than Barkley. And how would the game go differently?
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: To me, the only way is Swift or Menungai getting loose,
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: controlling the clock, having something go their way. And by
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: the way, that could still be like a 2-4. If
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: it's going to be 5-1 Philly, you could say, no problem,
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: let me go with Chicago up top. What makes sense
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: with that? And then give me 4-4. of the Eagles
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: on the other side. And you just hope that they
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: spread it out a little bit more or have to
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: because Menungai gets loose or, or Swift gets loose. And
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: that ends up being the way that they control the
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: clock and the game and it stays under and all
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: of that. But I, I do think that's intriguing because
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: when you see 18, three Barkley and 17, one Swift,
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: I know it's enough money, but it's only $ 1, 200 in
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: the MVP. I'm pretty sure you're going to find that
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: 1200 bucks and just get to Barkley value or not
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: on the slate available. So yeah, Good breakdown, man. Any
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: final thoughts from you before we get out of here?
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a fun one tonight.
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: Lots of different ways you can go about playing it.
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: Lots of good interaction in the chat. We appreciate you guys.
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: Make sure to hit that thumbs up and subscribe to
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: the channel. But any final thoughts from you before we
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: get out of here?
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: No, I mean, football's on my screen on a Monday.
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: So anytime that's the case, life is good. So yeah,
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: we're if you had a bad week three or heck,
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: you had a good week three. It can only get
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: better tonight. So good luck to everybody.
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: And it's not over. We had a bad week three.
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: You still got tonight. It's only been a bad week
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: so far. You get the money. I'll remember what our
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: boy title, my man right here with me last week
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: was saying his hand. It wasn't the best week. There
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: was a, you know, still a 490 K hit and
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: all these things. But I mean, those are, we just
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: deal with those and let them roll off and go
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: to the next thing. Does 38 K solve it? No,
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: but it makes it feel a hell of a lot
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: better after how the rest of the weekend went.
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: So you're not guaranteed anything. So yeah, every day is
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: a new day. You definitely take it and wipe the slate.
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: So yeah, that's, that's the game we play. If you
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: don't want to see the swings, Do not look at
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: the DraftKings app until I guess you get the notification
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: that the money was put in your account and then
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: do it that way. If that's how you want to live.
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: Anyone who does that, like, you know, they say like
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: a certain serial killers.
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: The way you put the paper towel, the toilet paper
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: on is like the serial killer thing. If you're literally waiting,
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: because I think they finally fixed it now.
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: Where when they send you- It's right now, finally.
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: It says the real number. It could say a dollar,
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: but- One dollar. You want a bunch. But anyway, I
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: cannot imagine the world waking up and just being like,
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: check that thing. Even if I do fall asleep, it's
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: very rare, but if I did, I would... First of all,
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: I got no Discord notifications. Thankful that we have that
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: community there, so I know I didn't win. But I
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: still go on the app and go recent and try
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: and like the positivity flowing of like at least some
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: bars were to the right. I'm not trying to get
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: no email that just says you got dog walked and
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: screwed on this slate or something like that. So, yeah,
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: I'm crazy if people do it that way. I don't
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: know about that. But, you know, I don't look very often,
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: but I look when it matters. I want to get
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: some sweat equity for my money, too.
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm, I'm with you too. I probably look
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: more than you, but it's also for I'm cash games
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: when to swap that way. And yeah, I mean, I,
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: I put in the money. I understand.
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: You're seeing like what you're up against. Like it's like,
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: it's still a, even if it's not all head to heads,
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: the point is it still really matters. It can be trains.
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: It can be different. Like you've got to figure out
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: what's in front of you, what's behind you and be
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: able to adapt.
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: But in like, I'm also humid though. We put in
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: a lot of money with a chance to win a
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: lot of money. Like the sweat equity is, it's fun.
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: It can drive you crazy, but I also know I'll
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: get over it eventually, regardless of how bad it is.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: Life goes on.
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: That's my, uh, my mantra, I change it up from
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: time to time title, but the, the new one is
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: everything always works out. It's like, you just don't like
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: it for so far. It's all worked out. Like, you know,
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: I've had so many bad beats as of every player.
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: That's why the original sign still stays up. Cause it's like,
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: no one cares. We get beat out for four 90
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: K a couple of weeks ago before that was me
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: for 200 K with them, you know, more cow Eagle
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: at the last second, like things happen. for big money
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: and we're playing the game at the highest level. So
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: it's going to matter, but, and be worth a lot,
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: but everything's always seemed to work out. Very grateful. We
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: get to be here with you guys every day, almost
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: every day during football season, but at least a few
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: times a week, hang out, have fun, talk through it, interact,
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: be in the community daily. All that stuff is fun,
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: but like, you never know. Maybe tonight didn't, you know,
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: maybe that didn't work out because a Millie maker's coming soon.
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: And then like, that'll erase all of it. Like you
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: just have, you just never know. And just got to
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: be able to stay in the game and play it.
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: We talk a ton about that. Not going to hit
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: it harder now, but like the takedown breakdown, go watch
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: it from earlier. If you want, it's like, you just
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: got to be able to stay in the game. You
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: can't win a thousand bucks and decide to be like,
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: well now three, three, three 33s tonight. Sound like a
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: good idea. Like just play it. I was praising our guy,
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: Lukey in case he doesn't watch that show earlier. Our man,
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: Lukey in the chat got himself a saber SIM ultimate package.
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: Went down. He got the full ultimate. It's not for everybody,
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: but he got it. Started working on it. Put the
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: time in. Started shipping. I think I said, I honestly,
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: I think he won like six to eight times the
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: mini max in baseball, but people kept telling him like, Oh,
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: go play the $ 5 man, move up and play one
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: 50 in the $ 5. He's like, man, that's like a whole,
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: that's a whole mini max win that I'm putting on
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: the line for one slate. He's like, it didn't, he
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: didn't need to change strategies yet. If he's not comfortable,
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: he was capable of just putting in the same money,
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: winning a bunch, putting in the same money and then
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: riding this, the ups and downs. but he's happy. He's
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: doing what he loves. And if he wants to move up,
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: he can't. It's just a matter of like, you don't,
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: some people win all the money. We've seen people win
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: a hundred K on Sunday classic. And we're like, damn,
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: buddy's in for 30 grand tonight in showdown. Like what?
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: You'll never be mad at yourself for staying where you're
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: at or playing less than what you think you will.
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: 95% of people underestimate the variance in DFS, especially with
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: how top heavy it is nowadays. And Once you start
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: playing more than you're used to, it starts bleeding into
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: your real life and your real mental. And that's the
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: last thing you want to do. So, yeah, shout out
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: to Lukey. As disciplined as it gets. And I mean,
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: I'm blessed myself, but I prided myself on being one
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: of the most disciplined for over a decade, literally almost
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: never playing tournaments, only playing cash games because I knew
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: what I wanted to do full time. I knew 8%
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: ROI could get me this. And I'm not guaranteed anything
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: in tournaments. You can be the best in the world,
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: still have a losing year as FJ born and all that.
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: just shows the variance there. So you need first place
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: and it's hard to do so. So yeah. Yeah.
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: We talked about that too. It's like, you don't control
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: first place. People don't like, I know it's like, it
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: sounds so, bad coming from people like I've got a
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: second and a third place trophy on the shelf. They
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: were still awesome days, awesome outcomes, big money events that
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: are fun, like all that type of stuff throughout the years.
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: But it's like when you finish third or fifth in
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: a tournament, you know, you're 10 K the other week.
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: Absolutely horrendous. It was my exact example. A couple of
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: weeks before in golf, it was 200 K to first,
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: I get like 7,500 or something for what it was
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: when we were away in Vegas. And so you just
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: had your version of that recent, that's just our most
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: recent version. It's not complaining. It's just noting that like,
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: There was nothing else we could do. Like we literally
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: did everything to put ourselves in a position to ship.
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: And then we didn't. So while it doesn't feel, there's
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: no trophy, there usually isn't anyway, but there's no big
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: money that you care about enough. There's no big prize.
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: There's no, like there's, you get almost nothing out of
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: it except like a negative feeling in the way of like, damn,
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: I was so close. But you really did put yourself
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: in the top 0.00001% and you didn't control the outcome.
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: It's like almost the same as winning without the win
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: and the money and everything that comes with it. It's like,
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: what else do you want me to do? And you
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: don't get to control it, right? There's nothing you could
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: have done about it. So that's all you can do.
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: Focus on a little mental health at the end. We're
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: not always adding that in, but I think it's a
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: good idea to think about in a game we play.
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: It's going to do it, guys. Appreciate you. You know,
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: everybody in the chat, let us know in the comments
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: if there's anything we're missing that you want more for
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: these shows. We've got our next slate coming up on Thursday.
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: Hoop will be back, I believe. And we're breaking down
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: the Atlanta or no, what is it? The Pittsburgh at
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: the Cleveland game.
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: I was going to say Atlanta's back. Oh, my gosh.
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: Just is it worse or better, though, that your boy
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: Aaron is coming in?
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: I mean, my Packers got absolutely demolished, so nothing can
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: be worse. And, yeah, I like my man Rodgers, but
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: anyone that saw his Hail Mary before the end of half,
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: like pulled a rib, fell right then. I was like,
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: it's time to hang it up, man. Now, he still
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: put up the points. He's getting the ball out there.
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: But you never want to see one of the goats,
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: like in any sport, just completely like they just play
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: too long and just they ruin everything that people thought
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: of him at. Like, please don't do that. Please have
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: it be your last year. You have a good team
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: around you. Get to the playoffs and then just quit.
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: I agree on all that. It's really tough. Not too
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: many people like the Peyton Manning, the Ray Lewis, the
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: stuff like that get to ride off into the sunset.
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's nice. You win a Super Bowl
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: and you get to just be done after that. It's
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: not easy to accomplish that. But I'm saying when you
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: just keep pressing it and pushing it, now it's always
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: just him just blaming the coaches. And then yesterday was
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: the lip read of like– He fucking sucks.
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: Yeah. Like that play call sucks or something.
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: I don't know. I just saw a brief. I didn't
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: know if it was about his receiver that dropped it
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: or the play.
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: I mean, Roger says it out. He sees it. But yeah,
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: there's there's a time and a place as a leader,
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: as a quarterback and all that. And by no means
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: do I agree with everything he says. So. Hey, that's life.
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: Don't necessarily agree with this either. I appreciate your answer.
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: Your support's always good in the chats, but like, again,
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: a lot of people forget this. We talked a little
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: bit about this earlier. Most of the people that have
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: all the DFS money you're, you're quoting the ones that
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: are actually good, by the way, I'm talking about that
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: are winning. There's lots of, business people that are in
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: the 5ks and they just they make money at other
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: stuff it's their fun money they got it to blow
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: people saw the 100k circa um draft this year that
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: posted up like oh my god i wish i had
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: 100k to play in that look how bad the drafting
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: is well they don't care they have 100 grand to
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: play on a football draft but these players most the
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: ones like when people complain about mock loving and uticao
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: and guys like that like where do you think they
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: got all the money They just, they kept playing at
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: the highest level and they took it from all the
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: people that decide to go up in stakes and realize there's,
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: you know, not the best chance when you win all
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: the money at the poker table title. Kind of could
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: just stay at that table and keep winning the money
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: off these people. You don't just hop up and be like,
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: all right, I got this buy-in now that I can
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: take to the better table. Why? Right. Like you just
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: stay here and keep collecting the money. There's tons of cheese,
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: free cheese sitting at the table that you're already at.
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: So. I mean, and people, yeah, the last thing, I mean,
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: I don't know how many in the world, but there's
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: definitely some of the biggest guys get staked to an extent.
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: But if you can show someone that has money, that
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: you're a good player and can make money, how about
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: you go do that yourself? Work on your process, grind,
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: and then find someone with money that you can pitch
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: yourself and present yourself. I've never done it personally, but
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: I do know people that have done it. And shout
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: out to them. That's smart. Happens all the time in
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: the poker world. Just if you're under bankroll, that's smart.
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: You're sticking within your bankroll management. de-risking a little bit,
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: but still playing for a good amount because you proved
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: that you were sharp in whatever way. There's a lot
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: of ways to conquer life. There's no one way in everything.
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: We could go forever. You and I love this kind
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: of stuff, so we'll stop it there.
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: I agree.
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: People do use... It's not even like using the bank's
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: money to finance stuff and move it around. Why are
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: you using all your own money when you can use it?
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: If you do it accordingly, obviously I'm not saying take
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: on a bunch of debt. It's how you take it
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: on and what you do with it. It's things like that.
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: People always do this stuff. So All right, guys, we
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: appreciate you. Thank you so much for watching. For Tidal,
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: for myself, Totag, and Tambo, good luck in the contest tonight.
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: Let's ship it!
