[SPEAKER_00]: Good morning friends and enemies today's video.
0:04
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going game by game breaking down every fantasy relevant wide receiver ranking them putting them into tears.
0:10
[SPEAKER_00]: We did the exact same thing for running back yesterday as it relates to week one of fantasy football.
0:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you missed that we'll link it in the show notes.
0:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Go watch that come back come watch this.
0:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Have a good time.
0:20
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not waste your time.
0:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get it.
0:22
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, we're kicking things off tomorrow night first to match up of the season on New England at Seattle.
0:28
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got the game being played in Seattle.
0:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Seattle is three point favorites because they have the home field advantage 44 and a half point total here.
0:36
[SPEAKER_00]: So not expecting fireworks or shootouts by any stretch of the imagination here.
0:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's take a look at the practice report.
0:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So we did get an update for Christian Barmore.
0:44
[SPEAKER_00]: He will be on the field.
0:45
[SPEAKER_00]: It does look like Trayvon Henderson is trending towards not playing.
0:48
[SPEAKER_00]: One thing that needs to be pointed out, obviously, is we are talking about the wide receiver position.
0:52
[SPEAKER_00]: In this video, is that the Seattle secondary is pretty thin right now.
0:56
[SPEAKER_00]: They lost Tariq one, who is on Philadelphia right now.
1:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Nick, I'm going to worry, there's stud, sophomore safety is probably trending towards not playing.
1:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And this one, they also lost Kobe Bryant to free agency went to Chicago.
1:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He got injured, but right now, I would just say this Seattle secondary is a little bit thinner compared to last year.
1:13
[SPEAKER_00]: That's going to be a problem because New England's receiving core is way less thin.
1:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Then it was last year bringing an AJ Brown.
1:19
[SPEAKER_00]: But let's get to the point here.
1:21
[SPEAKER_00]: J.S.N.
1:22
[SPEAKER_00]: is obviously a must start.
1:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Christian Gonzalez shout out.
1:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Just got the bagel this morning.
1:26
[SPEAKER_00]: AJ Brown's an interesting one.
1:28
[SPEAKER_00]: He's obviously going to have a ton of divine with their spoon in his pocket on Wednesday night football.
1:34
[SPEAKER_00]: His prop is pretty low.
1:35
[SPEAKER_00]: 60 and a half relative to like a J.S.N type 82 and a half.
1:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think, listen, if you draft an AJ Brown, he's going into your lineup.
1:42
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to get into the Mustard category for me.
1:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody else in this matchup to me is kind of hands off.
1:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, we don't really know what the roles are going to be behind these guys.
1:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Roma doves will probably be a near-every-down player, but he's never really been an explosive guy.
1:57
[SPEAKER_00]: He always had a really good chemistry with Jordan Love.
1:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Does that carry over to Drake May and New England?
2:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd imagine both of these teams are probably going to be pretty run heavy in their first games for 2026.
2:06
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to put doves into shaky flex.
2:08
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to put your heat into shaky flex.
2:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Uber Cubs probably between the shaky flex and the rather not tier, but for now, we're just kind of hands off again.
2:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see.
2:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see one game kind of go through the hoop here before we're playing any secondary guys.
2:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we will move to Thursdays and I football being played in Melbourne in Australia, San Francisco and the LA Rams here.
2:29
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a game of a 48 and a half point total here.
2:33
[SPEAKER_00]: The Rams are three and a half point favorites.
2:34
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been a lot made about San Francisco getting out there a week earlier.
2:37
[SPEAKER_00]: The Rams are kind of getting
2:38
[SPEAKER_00]: it and try to just completely avoid the circadian rhythm bullshit.
2:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really care.
2:43
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not reading into all that kind of stuff.
2:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Sounds like Puka is going to be good to go with the groin stuff, notes suspension on the way at least not before week one.
2:50
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's obviously going to the top of the rankings.
2:53
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to overthink that one.
2:54
[SPEAKER_00]: His secondary weapon here, Devante Adams, slowed down last year from a yardage perspective, all that kind of stuff.
3:00
[SPEAKER_00]: But I
3:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not overly concerned about what we're going to see in the early parts of the year.
3:05
[SPEAKER_00]: So Dimante is going to go right into the field's good category.
3:07
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not a defense here that I'm necessarily scared of by any means.
3:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the non-resefense became a really big issue for them.
3:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously they had a lot of injuries that they were dealing with last year, but I don't think they're like a secondary that we need to be worried about by any means last year.
3:21
[SPEAKER_00]: They were eighth in EPA, per pass loud, seventh in success rate, per pass allowed.
3:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So good match up on paper at least for the Rams passing game on the
3:29
[SPEAKER_00]: The flip side of things were trying to figure out what to do with these 49ers receivers.
3:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Mike Evans has missed a bunch of time this training camp, but he's come out very recently over the last like day or two and just talked about how most of those injuries were very minor.
3:40
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I've got to call some game time.
3:42
[SPEAKER_00]: He will be shooting up four week one, so he'll be in the lineup probably in your lineup.
3:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I still probably want to see, you know, a game with how this offense shakes out and Mike Evans kind of being in a full-time role coming off of the injuries.
3:54
[SPEAKER_00]: You can see as props are pretty low here.
3:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Three and a half receptions, 47 and a half receiving yards.
3:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Plus one 80 is in any time touchdown feels low, but the Rams have completely re-tooled.
4:02
[SPEAKER_00]: They were already a very good defense, obviously, but they brought in other playmakers, obviously Miles Garer, Trent McDuffy, like,
4:08
[SPEAKER_00]: really really good dudes to secure that defense entirely.
4:11
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll just have to see how things kind of run on the San Francisco side of things.
4:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure why Dibo's not in here, but I would say anyone else outside of Mike Evans is going to the shaky flex category, even the goat and John Stribblings is going to go into shaky flex and Marcus Robinson will go into the rather not for sure, and then Dibo would also go into the shaky flex.
4:27
[SPEAKER_00]: These are guys where again, really tough matchup.
4:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Need to see how the 49ers passing options end up.
4:33
[SPEAKER_00]: playing and rotating throughout the course of the game.
4:36
[SPEAKER_00]: George Kittle is seemingly going to suit up.
4:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd imagine he's going to be on a little bit of a limited snap count.
4:41
[SPEAKER_00]: But overall, it's like a very, very new weapons group here.
4:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of new faces with Mike Evans and dribbling endomark is Robinson.
4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, Debo coming back after leaving and George Kittle coming back from the Achilles.
4:53
[SPEAKER_00]: So overall, like Mike Evans will probably go into my lineup outside of that.
4:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to, I want to see a game before I'm putting anyone else into my lineup for this one.
4:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Moving to Chicago at Carolina, 47.5 point total here, Chicago, just 3 point favorites to make Milan.
5:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel pretty good about it, so he's going right into the feels good categories, props are actually as high.
5:10
[SPEAKER_00]: If not higher than Devonta Adams here, 58 and a half, obviously the matchup is what feels really enticing here.
5:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm both sides of the ball.
5:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Chicago's defense is all banged up, so despite it being the Panthers offense, I don't think they'll have that much trouble moving the rock here in touch, you'd probably see a very, very high target chair.
5:27
[SPEAKER_00]: on the flip side of things so we've got the Chicago Bears pass catchers where it's another tricky group to try to figure out.
5:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Rome's lines are at 44.5 receiving yards three and a half receptions though he did miss practice yesterday so it is something to keep an eye on he had what was labeled a minor leg injury last week where he left practice but then he tried to go out there and continue practicing afterwards reports out of camp do do make it seem like it is very minor but we have had instances where players get hurt
5:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And then because of the adrenaline, they just try to get back out there and then things end up like swelling up afterwards.
5:57
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll have to keep a close eye on practice reports.
6:00
[SPEAKER_00]: If Rome is in the lineup, he's going to go into the Dubflex category.
6:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think he'll end up probably seeing a lot of J.C. horn on the outside.
6:06
[SPEAKER_00]: So actually, I like this match up more for Luther Burton than I do for Roma Dunze.
6:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have like a very, very clear favorite of the two.
6:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I know a lot of like the fantasy communities in love with Luther Burton.
6:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And I totally understand why this is one where I would prefer burden because I think he'll run a lot.
6:20
[SPEAKER_00]: more friendly routes relative to the strengths of the Carolina defense here and Rome, you know, dealing with the injury.
6:26
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know what's actually going on with him.
6:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Who the burden was also dealing with the injury for most of the summer, but he seems to be good to go tracking to be fully healthy for week one.
6:34
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm fine getting both of them in your lineups as as you can feel pretty good about.
6:39
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got Jalen Coker who's
6:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, don't hate him in your lineup either he'll be at the like the top of the shaky flex category for me He's another like top target.
6:45
[SPEAKER_00]: They resigned him this off season He should be a big part of their passing offense.
6:48
[SPEAKER_00]: See a pretty high target share here and again like not gonna be a ton of matchups Where you just get kind of free-wrained to take advantage of the opposing defense and the bears feel like one of those where you can see green across the board here Number one in terms of explosive plays allowed last year through the air So jail and poker 38 and a half receiving yards not super high, but still higher than the the rest of the guys in the shaky flex category
7:10
[SPEAKER_00]: here.
7:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Moving to game number four, we got Tampa Bay at Cincinnati, obviously Jamar is going straight into the Mustart category.
7:17
[SPEAKER_00]: See, Higgins, I think you could probably make the argument there, but I'll go into the field of good category and very much at the top of it here, very strong lines, very strong match up here.
7:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And on the flip side, you've got a little bit more to figure out.
7:28
[SPEAKER_00]: A mecca book has been recovering from the turf to oingerie now for a mild
7:35
[SPEAKER_00]: and it does seem like as of yesterday, he is definitely tracking and trending towards shooting up for week one.
7:40
[SPEAKER_00]: So that makes me feel good about it because he's playing against the bangles.
7:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, the bangles do have a stud on the outside and DJ Turner, but I don't know that he's going to follow a guy like a wuka around a lot because I'd imagine he's going to be moving all over the formation.
7:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I think
7:54
[SPEAKER_00]: They have this grouping of all these receivers that I think will play as flankers on the outside inside.
8:01
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't think any particular box receiver is going to catch a ton of top corner back play in any given week unless their game plan going in is just like, hey, this guy is going to shadow forever, but I don't have enough confidence or data to back up that that's gonna be the case for a guy like DJ Turner going into the year.
8:19
[SPEAKER_00]: But if we find out that DJ Turner tends to move around the formation a lot, like if he just shadows Abuka this entire week, that's something that we will be touching on going forward.
8:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we do week three, anytime you're playing against the bangles, it's like great match-bomb paper, but going to be a problem forever, the wide receiver one is so you could take advantage of it maybe by the tight end or the slot receiver or wide receiver two.
8:39
[SPEAKER_00]: But obviously in order to kind of stay up to date on those trends, you're gonna want to subscribe to the channel here.
8:45
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to see all these videos every single week, which will be doing every Tuesday, Wednesday, when there is not a Wednesday game going forward, again, hit the subscribe button down below.
8:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Overall though, if a book is suiting up, he is going into my lineup and I'm going to feel good about it because the matchup feels great as well.
9:00
[SPEAKER_00]: It didn't even touch on it, but they are a 50 and a half point total in this game, the books are 3 and a half a point.
9:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Underdogs here, good weather like this should be kind of fireworks all around, given the potency of both offenses here.
9:12
[SPEAKER_00]: So behind Iguuga, I'm like a little bit more all over the place.
9:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not really sure what to do with the other past catchers here.
9:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Godwin seems like the layup guy, at least for like the very early part to the season.
9:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Mick Millen has also been dealing with an injury for the last couple of weeks, but he also returned to practice the same day that Iguuga did over the last couple of days.
9:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I keep switching back and forth between Abuka and Eccbuga.
9:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you pronounce the G?
9:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm not really sure.
9:35
[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of those things where I feel like I look it up three times a week.
9:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And then as soon as it goes into my brain, it like pops out the other side.
9:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So I might just call him boogie.
9:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I might just call him boogie baby for now on.
9:45
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, boogie baby in the lineup.
9:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Chris Godwin, will I say he's a dub flex?
9:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you're probably taking a little bit too far.
9:52
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to go into the shaky flex category.
9:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And McMillan's also going to go into the shaky flex category.
9:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm starting Godwin over McMillan, but I'm not overly excited about it.
10:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of look at poker and Godwin in the same vein where at best they're the secondary pass catcher in their offense.
10:08
[SPEAKER_00]: They're probably playing a lot of slot snaps, but they have a defensive matchups where they can really take advantage of.
10:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you, they're then went like five for 50 or five for 60 and sort of touchdown.
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: wouldn't really be surprised.
10:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's shaky flex.
10:20
[SPEAKER_00]: The shaky flex category overall is guys you're like on the fence about you don't feel super good but at the same time like could understand why you throw them into your flex for this first week if you're really desperate here.
10:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Ted, her's going into the rather not for now.
10:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Next matchup.
10:33
[SPEAKER_00]: We got New Orleans at Detroit.
10:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Indy Troy they are in the dome should be fireworks all around absolutely fucking love this match up if you have a lot of weapons I think you want to get as many players into your lineup from this game as possible I'm on rise in the mustar a lot of is gonna go right into the mustar with Jordan Tyson out for this one He's obviously gonna be in your lineup for guard the sub Tyson's back or not, but it makes it even sexier here
10:58
[SPEAKER_00]: James and Williams is going right into the field's good category, and then the other interesting player here is Devon Valle.
11:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I am personally a pretty big fan of Devon Valle, and I love how his matchup sets up.
11:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the Detroit secondary is completely eviscerated.
11:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, their first
11:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on top of being super thin at the corner back position already, both of there like studs, safety's Kirby Joseph and Brian Branch are starting the year on the populist.
11:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So Detroit is going to be another like it's going to be the same thing as we've seen the last two years where it's like you're really hyped up about what the overall team could be in the personnel and then the defensive injuries and whatever bullshit happens on that side of the ball ends up leading to a billion points on the offensive side of the ball and the other teams are going to have to throw the ball a lot to catch up.
11:41
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is one of those games
11:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Secondary is all over the place.
11:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Very high volume, fast base offenses.
11:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to do anything crazy week one, but Valey.
11:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I think is one of the better starts in the shaky flex category.
11:52
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going like very close to the top of that category for me.
11:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to put him in the dub flex category because when I look at my heavens, I don't see the same thing as seeing the Vavela.
12:02
[SPEAKER_00]: But when I look at these other guys, I might get Valey in my line up a sap.
12:06
[SPEAKER_00]: So Valey, very sneaky start for this week if you are desperate at
12:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Next came up, we've got Buffalo at Houston.
12:15
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a 44 and a half point total.
12:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Houston is one and a half point underdogs here.
12:20
[SPEAKER_00]: They are at home.
12:21
[SPEAKER_00]: This is being played in the dome, which is a good circumstance all around, but you see a lot of red here all around for both matchups.
12:28
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Houston's past defense is elite.
12:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Buffalo's past defense is much better than their run defense.
12:32
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're a little bit more of like a run funnel defense where teams try to attack Buffalo on the ground.
12:38
[SPEAKER_00]: They have a pretty good cornerback group.
12:40
[SPEAKER_00]: etc.
12:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Nico Collins obviously if you drafted him, uh, he's going into your lineup.
12:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say though, he's more leaning towards like the field's good category than the Mustart category for me.
12:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to be at the top of it because he's Nico Collins, but outside of that, I'm going to be honest.
12:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't feel great about a lot of the other options in this game right now.
12:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Like DJ Moore is the next most appealing guy in this grouping, but he's going to see a ton of stingy.
13:02
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to see a ton of the secondary.
13:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just nervous about what we see in week one.
13:07
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
13:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I get it if you look at him and you see a similar type of outlook to like a Roman doons there with the burden, you know, four or five catches, about 40 to 50 yards makes sense for me.
13:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually put DJ Moore into the shaky flex category off the rip.
13:19
[SPEAKER_00]: There won't be worse matchups than he's getting in week one.
13:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And I actually do really like DJ Moore from like a season long perspective.
13:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And what I think he's going to do is the wide receiver one for Josh Allen.
13:30
[SPEAKER_00]: But I will say there are a lot of players that I'd probably prefer starting.
13:33
[SPEAKER_00]: over the day more in week one as they're playing against Houston.
13:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I think everybody else, like, sure if you want to throw Cleo Shakira in the bottom of the shaky flex category, that's fine.
13:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything else, again, I'll just keep using this fucking terrible line, but you're going to want to see one go through the hoop before you start putting any of these like Texans receivers or any other like secondary Buffalo receiver into your lineups to start the year.
13:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Next game, we've got Baltimore at
13:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Indianapolis, Baltimore 3.5 point favorites in this one up 47.5 point total.
14:01
[SPEAKER_00]: They are playing at Indy, which means they are playing in the dome should be a pretty pretty good environment here.
14:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, a lot of green for Baltimore in terms of the passing match begins.
14:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Indy, I will say a lot of injuries that secondary last year.
14:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I do really like the combination if they could stay on the field the sauce gardener and charvaries ward is sauce like the all pro top three guy he was when he was like a rookie early on.
14:21
[SPEAKER_00]: maybe not, but I still think you're looking at a combination of like two top 12, two top 15 cornerbacks.
14:26
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not always easy to get off of, but say it's going to go into the feels good category regardless, excited to see what this new offense looks like with Declan Doyle, a lot more under center, a lot of like play action where I think it'll get more easy, involved targets for guys like say flowers and all the past catchers in this group.
14:43
[SPEAKER_00]: On the flip side of things, I think we'll see him improve both more defense.
14:46
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really difficult to get a gauge on what to do with these cults receivers in week one.
14:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Alec Pierce has been cleared.
14:53
[SPEAKER_00]: He will be playing in week one.
14:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Josh Downs will be playing.
14:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone will be playing.
14:57
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a lot of speculation around all these players between the injuries here.
15:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Rashad Bateman off the field, stuff keen and out and off the field stuff.
15:03
[SPEAKER_00]: But it does feel like both offenses will be in full force at full strength.
15:07
[SPEAKER_00]: But ultimately, I don't feel great about throwing any of the indie past catchers into my lineup outside of like a Tyler Warren out Pierce's obviously missed like a tremendous amount of their off season.
15:16
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to have to get back into shape into conditioning shape.
15:18
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see a lot of Marlin Humphrey and I know, you know, Marlin's not the same guy he was, but they have a lot of good players in their secondary there out in Baltimore between Marlin and Nate Wiggins and Kyle Hamilton obviously.
15:28
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't think it's going to be easy running for anybody.
15:30
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to put out Pierce into the shaky Flex category.
15:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Another one where I want to see like one or two weeks of him.
15:36
[SPEAKER_00]: running his full slate of snaps, looking like he's back to his full health from last year.
15:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Josh downs, I think I would probably play him over Aleuk Pierce, but another one where I don't look at him and I'm like, yeah, he's in absolute, like I'm really excited to get him into my flex spot here, his line 44 and a half, receiving yards.
15:52
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's have a nice little reception line of four and a half.
15:54
[SPEAKER_00]: So I would play him over Aleuk Pierce, but I wouldn't get overly excited about getting into my lineup.
15:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody else is definitely like a rather not for now.
16:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Jacobi Lane's really interesting.
16:05
[SPEAKER_00]: if he ends up like scoring a touchdown or becomes involved in the red zone in week one, but don't think you can get him into your lineup out the gates.
16:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Next match up, we've got Cleveland at Jacksonville.
16:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Jacksonville, eight and a half point favorites, 40 and a half point total here.
16:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're expecting very, very low point totals from the Cleveland Browns offense.
16:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Very unsurprisingly with the Shawl Watson under center, but ultimately feels like probably going to be a sloppy game They're not expecting much from either side of the ball and by them.
16:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean Vegas I do think the Jaguars will probably be relatively fine, but the Cleveland Passing Defence is not one even while losing Miles Garrett One that's like easy to have a lot of success against the only guy that I'm like excited about throwing into my lineup for this one is Parker Washington
16:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's going to go into the dub flex category.
16:52
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm definitely, you know, if we were excited about him all summer, like just get him into your lineup outside of that, I think the rest of the guy is kind of fallen to the shaky flex category.
17:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I will be starting to Kobe Myers in a league of mine.
17:03
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a 12 team.
17:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I needed a flex play.
17:05
[SPEAKER_00]: So.
17:05
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, if anyone wants to rock with me, Jacobi will likely be going into my lineup.
17:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Casey Concepts Yones is going to go into the bottom of the shaky flex category.
17:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Another one where it's like, a lot of young talent where we want to see what happens in that first week.
17:17
[SPEAKER_00]: We want to see the snap alignment.
17:19
[SPEAKER_00]: We want to see the routes run.
17:20
[SPEAKER_00]: As Casey Concepts Yones, a 75% snap guy or is he strictly 11 personnel and they're playing that 58% of the time kind of thing.
17:28
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
17:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And the game where I do imagine they're going to have to throw the ball a lot in the second half.
17:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I still think they're going to try to run this game through Quinshot Judkins and giving him as many carriers as he can possibly feast on there.
17:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, I mean, I'm not telling you anything new here.
17:42
[SPEAKER_00]: We just don't want to start Cleveland Brown's pass catchers in week one outside of like a Harold fan.
17:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And so Boston's going to go down there.
17:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Jared, you're just going to go into the rather not and Brian Thomas will go into the shaky flex category.
17:51
[SPEAKER_00]: He's obviously always viable to pop off for like a big play.
17:54
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, he'll be in the shaky flex category, but closer to like the
17:58
[SPEAKER_00]: part of that game and then Travis Hunter I don't expect to play a ton of snaps at the wide receiver position.
18:05
[SPEAKER_00]: But as always, if you guys are more curious about exactly where I have these guys ranked in terms of flex plays, half-PPR, full-PPR, you can always get that information on bdge.co.
18:16
[SPEAKER_00]: you will be able to see all this information in real time as well, Vegas props, weather, fantasy points allowed, EPA, et cetera, et cetera, bge.co, become a fantasy member there.

19:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Very, very fun if you are a bedngm user right now.
19:07
[SPEAKER_00]: They just open up this ultimate teams game, which is fire, again, free to play, no deposit needed, anything.
19:12
[SPEAKER_00]: If you come from Monday to Friday onto the site and go to the ultimate teams tab, which is right here in the top left, they basically randomly give you a pack to rip.
19:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's a spread of a game.
19:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's everybody, yes, they're own random spread.
19:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody gets their own random pack.
19:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got to do it yesterday, but...
19:27
[SPEAKER_00]: If you do all five games, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and you hit all five spreads, you are automatically given a share of the $50,000 bonus bet jackpot for everybody else that hit five spreads, which is probably a very low number, so you'll probably get a decent chunk of this.
19:42
[SPEAKER_00]: One spread to get a little token boost.
19:43
[SPEAKER_00]: The more spread you hit, the better the boost you end up getting here.
19:46
[SPEAKER_00]: You hit 400% odds boost token there.
19:49
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you hit five or five, just come back each day.
19:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Flip your card open.
19:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And literally you can forget about it until Sunday.
19:54
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, no purchase necessary or anything like that.
19:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Shout out, MGM for run ultimate teams.
19:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Cool stuff over there.
19:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's move to Atlanta at Pittsburgh.
20:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Just the vote, 42 and a half point total here.
20:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Good weather, three point underdogs for the Atlanta Falcons.
20:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, I don't know who it's good for at this point.
20:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Good for Kyle Pizz, good for Vijana, I guess.
20:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Not good for anyone, not good for anyone, watching the game, not good for anyone.
20:18
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a Falcons fan.
20:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably not good for Drake London.
20:20
[SPEAKER_00]: He did feed his wide receiver ones, but I don't even know if his arm is capable of continuing to do that.
20:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Overall, gonna be a little bit of a tough match.
20:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I've enjoyed poor juniors legit as hell.
20:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And it is to a.
20:30
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're obviously starting Drake London if you have him, but he's closer to like the Nico Collins where it's like,
20:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Tough matchup.
20:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't love the environment.
20:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't trust the passing game at the moment.
20:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Got to see a little bit more to believe it.
20:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's where I'm throwing them to the field's good category.
20:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Outside of that, we've got the Steelers receivers that we kind of have to figure out.
20:47
[SPEAKER_00]: It's DKMECKF who's like the impromptu-wide receiver one.
20:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually personally like Michael Pittman more in PPR leagues.
20:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're both probably shaky flexors, but I think our Atlanta Falcons.
20:57
[SPEAKER_00]: past defense or just defense overall is going to be so much worse than it was last year without James Pierce Jr. without Jalen Walker.
21:03
[SPEAKER_00]: We lost a couple linebackers in free agency.
21:06
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is going to be a weird direction for me, but I'm actually going to put Michael Pippman into the dub flex.
21:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to put DK McAfee into the shaky flex.
21:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Definitely at the top, so I think in my rankings like my wide receiver rankings, they're going to be relatively close to each other, but I just like Michael Pippman more than I do DK McAfee.
21:23
[SPEAKER_00]: especially in this match-up where DK will probably see a lot of AJ Terrell, and Michael Pitman will be able to run over the middle of the field.
21:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Other than that, we are not playing Jeremy Bernard and we're very much in waiting C-Mode to see what the wider receiver position shakes up in Atlanta behind.
21:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Drake Lundine.
21:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Next game, New York Jets at the Tennessee Titans.
21:43
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a 39 and a half point total.
21:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think the lowest on the slate, the Jets are one and a half point underdogs.
21:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Great matchup for both sides here.
21:52
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you got Garrett Wilson, definitely going to be in your lineup.
21:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I expect a very high target.
21:56
[SPEAKER_00]: You're obviously, and this is one of the better matchups to take advantage of.
21:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Out the gate, you can imagine with these teams where they're like going to the season with a very clear game plan.
22:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they're going to force the issue at least for the first month of the season.
22:08
[SPEAKER_00]: take advantage of with a guy like Garrett Wilson, Wondell Robinson.
22:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to be leading target getter there in Tennessee.
22:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to throw him into the dub.
22:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Flex Category Cornell Tate is definitely one that I'm still like a little bit shaky about right now.
22:19
[SPEAKER_00]: He's he's in the shaky flex.
22:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll still start him over a handful of these guys, but I want to see with the route percentage shakes up like between him Calvin Ridley, Wondell Robinson, see if he's a full time player, obviously very, very high draft capital.
22:31
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think the Tennessee Titans passing off ends is one that's like very spooky right now to actually throw players into your lineup for before we see them actually, you know, operate at even like a mediocre level.
22:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I do really fuck with Adonine Mitchell though.
22:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Can't afford to be great.
22:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I've always been a fan of Adonine Mitchell's game even coming out of Texas, which you got more opportunity and Andy, but now he's getting a ton of opportunity in New York to be the clear wide receiver too, even though they drafted Cooper in the first round.
23:01
[SPEAKER_00]: playmaker.
23:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I really don't look at him too differently than like how looking at Devon Valle, but in a much worse game script, going to be a lot slower, going to, you know, try to establish the run this one, a lot worse quarterback play.
23:12
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, when I say similar to Devon Valle, I mean, not similar at all, but like kind as similar.
23:17
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
23:17
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you can do a lot worse than added.
23:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I mentioned this week, actually.
23:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, maybe crazy, but I think I'd probably start at an imitial over Carnell tape.
23:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't hold me to that, but maybe hold me to it, but you can check out my rankings again in real time, always updated for injuries and stuff if you want to see where I eventually actually land with that stuff.
23:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Next game up on the slate, we've got Arizona at the Los Angeles Chargers Chargers Heavy Heavy Favorites in this one, they're in LA, obviously, so they're in the dome, they are 10 point favorites, 47 and a half point over under here.
23:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Vegas, not too high in La Macaque for week one,
23:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I get it.
23:46
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to see how this often shakes out.
23:48
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to see how the target tree gets kind of dispersed.
23:50
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to see if they even try to, you know, just Herbert need to throw the ball more than 28 times in this game.
23:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And if not even even if he throws, you know, they dominate game script.
23:58
[SPEAKER_00]: They give 20 carries to Martin Hampton.
24:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Even if lad ends up having a 25% target share, which is pretty optimistic on.
24:05
[SPEAKER_00]: you know 28 throws that's what seven targets something like that.
24:09
[SPEAKER_00]: So I can understand where the math and the projections don't add up.
24:12
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, just a great matchup where I think both teams can score in the passing side of things.
24:16
[SPEAKER_00]: So lad's definitely going to go into the feels good category definitely want them in your lineup.
24:19
[SPEAKER_00]: If you have them behind him, I don't feel terrible about Quentin Johnson like do I
24:23
[SPEAKER_00]: want to throw him into my lineup right away.
24:25
[SPEAKER_00]: No, but it is a great matchup.
24:26
[SPEAKER_00]: He will probably see a lot of Will Johnson on the outside.
24:29
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to go into the shaky flex category, but very much near the top of it.
24:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I probably look at both Cardinals receivers in the same vein.
24:37
[SPEAKER_00]: The Charger's past defense is pretty damn good.
24:39
[SPEAKER_00]: They did lose Jesse Mintler, so maybe we see a little bit of regression on the defensive side of the ball, but they're always pretty good there.
24:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably a game where they're going to have to throw the ball a lot.
24:47
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know for certain if Jeremiah loves playing.
24:49
[SPEAKER_00]: If he's not probably lean a little bit more on the passing side of things, do I look at them as dub flexes?
24:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Not really like I'm not overly excited to get either of them in my lineup, but I will say the overall point here for whether or not I play one over the other.
25:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have a strong feeling like I'm not clearly leaning towards Martin Harrison Jr. over Michael Will certainly think like, I think they're both playable in week one.
25:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't set my expectations super highly for either one, just given the matchup and given the uncertainty of what this offense is going to end up being.
25:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think they're both kind of boomer bust, like I wouldn't be surprised if Michael Wilson went out there and had a very big day or Marvin Harris went out there and made a big play toward a touchdown, et cetera.
25:24
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not going to put him into the Doug Flex category, but very much at the top of the shaky Flex category.
25:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And then try ours yet, we're not playing him until we know if wide receiver three even matters in that offense.
25:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Moving over to Miami at Las Vegas.
25:38
[SPEAKER_00]: This one's pretty easy.
25:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you could put tray Tucker and shaky flex.
25:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think everybody else is a no go until we learn more about who's a full-time player between the Miami offensive guys, Caleb Douglass, Chris Bell.
25:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, I'm not going to put Caleb Douglass into the shaky flex category, but like he's one to definitely keep an eye on both of these Miami receivers.
25:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I think if you got an extra
25:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And you want to throw one of those guys on to your bench and let it ride out and see how weak one kind of takes things definitely worse things have been done in fantasy football leagues overall just not a lot of guys I want my line up outside of the run game for both sides for Miami and Las Vegas who have to green Bay at
26:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Minnesota, Minnesota, one and a half point favorite.
26:16
[SPEAKER_00]: It's 46 and a half point total here in the dome in Minnesota, just in Jefferson, Jefferson.
26:20
[SPEAKER_00]: If you drafted him, he's obviously a must start on the flip side.
26:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't feel great about a lot of the other ones.
26:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you can see Minnesota's past defense, a red across the board.
26:28
[SPEAKER_00]: They're always a very, very stout defense, Christian Watson's definitely going to go into the dub flex category will be a tough matchup.
26:33
[SPEAKER_00]: But overall, I do think Christian Watson will be the one there for as long as he can stay up.
26:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Green Bay is cornerbacks.
26:44
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't really have it one.
26:46
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't have like a top guy there.
26:47
[SPEAKER_00]: So without any, you know, top cornerback play without Mike of Parsons, this is definitely a game where like it seems like on paper, Green Bay's defense could be kind of good if you don't really like follow football intimately, but not one where I'm like, string away from starting guys.
27:01
[SPEAKER_00]: So if we're an adolescent, I'm not a huge fan of him and like his game overall, but can definitely do worse in that.
27:07
[SPEAKER_00]: J and Reed, so obviously a big time playmaker, Matthew Golems is gonna run a ton of routes.
27:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Oops, he poopsy.
27:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's going into the top of the shaky flex category.
27:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I just like attaching guys to Jordan love, et cetera.
27:17
[SPEAKER_00]: And without Josh Jacobs, we'll obviously see a little bit of a lean towards the passing game here for Green Bay, I think.
27:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Washington at Philadelphia, Philly, five and a half point favorites here.
27:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like when I filmed the video yesterday, they were like four.
27:31
[SPEAKER_00]: This line jump at least a point over less like 24 hours, 44 and a half point total here.
27:36
[SPEAKER_00]: They are in Philadelphia.
27:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Demand they submit for me.
27:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, match it doesn't get better than this despite his Vegas lines not being that high.
27:42
[SPEAKER_00]: He is a must start for me.
27:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to be honest, man, Terry.
27:46
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of a shaky flex for me.
27:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't, don't, don't, don't love it.
27:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, not sure what to expect from the Washington offense right away.
27:52
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, they lose their top tackle.
27:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, we've got a brand new offense, which I'm definitely optimistic about, but I don't want to put all my eggs in that basket right away.
28:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, of course, the match begins Philadelphia with Queen John Mitchell.
28:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he'll end up probably shadowing terror McCleuron here, so him and Seth Von Diggs can definitely go into your lineup as flex plays, but I don't feel like crazy good about them.
28:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't even wish it be a near full-time player on the outside, but another one where I'm like, I don't know, like he can make a big play, of course, down the field.
28:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Definitely don't want him in my lineup if I don't have
28:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And then McCy Lemons another one where you're kind of in wait and see mode to see what his snaps end up shaking out like because he missed a lot of the summer camp And he's running basically slot only routes right now.
28:31
[SPEAKER_00]: How much like juice really is there right now in the Philadelphia passing off ends behind the vottismith and Dallas got it right now That that to me that's wait and see mode next up.
28:41
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got Dallas at the new York G men
28:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Giants on Sunday night football 48 and a half point total Dallas 3 point favorites here CD going right into the Mustart category George Pickings is going to go right into the Mustart category If you got Malik neighbors, you're fucking starting him to so he's going into it seems like he will be ready for week one.
29:01
[SPEAKER_00]: He will be a I don't know if we can say a full go and I do expect a Dallas defense to be a little bit better, but
29:07
[SPEAKER_00]: If Malik is active, I think he is active because the giant's feel comfortable with where his knee is at.
29:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Malik is going to be in your lineup.
29:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, if you have him, Ryan Florenois, or rather not, Malik, I feel it's definitely a wait and see.
29:19
[SPEAKER_00]: He seems like he's going to be the widest you for two there.
29:21
[SPEAKER_00]: They did just cut dareously in which even solidifies that further.
29:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So you don't want to mean your lineup week one, but another like really, really sharp pickup.
29:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I think prior to week one games to see how things kind of work out and speaking on that
29:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Me and Michael are filming a video in about four or five hours talking about our sharpest pickups prior to week one games That will be out tomorrow for you guys on Wednesday before seasons kick off and I can guarantee him Malachi field will be on that list, but if you want to see the full list of of guys that you can kind of like Stash on your bancher when guys end up getting ruled out this weekend You could throw them into your IR spot and pick up one of these guys make sure you subscribe to the channel to watch that video live tomorrow
30:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the very last game of the week we've got Monday and F football Denver at Kansas City Kansas City three point favorites 43 and a half point total here pretty tough matchup for both sides of the ball here Roger Rice still the one until we see otherwise
30:16
[SPEAKER_00]: feel like camperports weren't great, the videos of him weren't great, but until we see him not being great for fantasy and PPR leagues with Patrick Mahomes, you just have to feel relatively good about him in your lineup.
30:29
[SPEAKER_00]: On the flip side of things, you got J-Lo while you got Cortland Sutton and while there's like a seven round gap in where they get drafted, Vegas doesn't really see the gap being that large.
30:38
[SPEAKER_00]: They're both at four and a half receptions.
30:40
[SPEAKER_00]: The any time touchdowns are pretty close, but neither of them are really favored to score in any time touchdown
30:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Daniel Wattel at plus 2.05, Quilt and Sutton at plus 2.20, so greater than 2 to 1 odds for both of them.
30:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Receiving yardage is a little bit higher for Wattel at 55.5, Quilt and Sutton down at 44.5.
30:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'd be lying if I said I felt really good about Daniel Wattel in week 1.
30:59
[SPEAKER_00]: He could absolutely make me look stupid, but he's going to go into the dub flex category for me.
31:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Definitely closer to the top of it, Quilt and Sutton will go into the shaky flex category for me.
31:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Xavier Worthy.
31:08
[SPEAKER_00]: who will run almost every route in this game if I had to guess still not anyone I'm looking to get into my lineup at all, same thing with Pat Bryant, same thing with Cyrus Allen.
31:17
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that really wraps up the wider receiver video.
31:21
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a little bit smoother than I thought I would be, not a ton of injuries to really worry about.
31:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, we'll get a lot more practice reports as the weeks go by and as things emerge and surface, I will be updating my rankings in real time, which you can get, bdge.co.
31:35
[SPEAKER_00]: We've also got
31:36
[SPEAKER_00]: the news hit start cider tool which I showed you guys yesterday in the running back video uh you could sync your leagues and then kind of just grab your hit start decisions from here if you need to choose between you know this is the league that i said i was starting jacoby Myers in my flex because i've got json nico christian watts and we do a start through whiter she re league but i'm kind of deciding between jacoby and Jordan Mason and they're close i've got jacoby at
31:59
[SPEAKER_00]: 78 overall.
32:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got Jordan Mason at 82 overall.
32:02
[SPEAKER_00]: These have, you know, the biggest props.
32:03
