  Speaker 1: Oh, dear. What a terrible Thursday night game.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville at Baltimore after Baltimore loses both Lamar Jackson and
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Tyler Huntley for the year.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: So what do.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: We expect out of this game? Not a whole hell
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: of a lot from the Baltimore side. But as the
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: title says, Hodor. And if you know that, you know
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: that means.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Hold the door.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: So Jacksonville, Baltimore, Baltimore completely depleted, uh, going against a really, really, uh,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: really good defense in Jacksonville and, and a really good offense,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: just Liam Cohen offense. But, uh, Jacksonville favored by nine
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: and a half remains to be seen.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: If you really want to take the over on.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: The nine and a half, um, you're probably not getting
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: a very good, uh, line on just the taking Jacksonville
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: to win, but sure as heck I'm going to put
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: all my points for confidence pool on Jacksonville this week,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: so not going to really worry about that. 39.5 is
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the over-under. This game is not a defensive battle. Well,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it is kind of from one part of it, but
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: it's you know, I don't see Jacksonville absolutely destroying, destroying
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Baltimore to the point where 39 and a half points
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: is really going to happen. I mean, we're talking that
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: even like 29, like 29 to 10 would get you, uh,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: actually 30 to 10 would get you over that 39
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and a half. And I don't, I don't see that happening. Um,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at probably, you're probably looking at 24-7, something
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: like that, 24-3. But there are some injury things that
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: we need to talk about for this game, and it's
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: going to be important not only for DFS, but for
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: your seasonal teams as well. First and foremost, we're going
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: to start with the Jacksonville side here. I'm going to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: pull up the spreadsheet for everyone. Let me get my
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: stupid face out of here so it It fully puts
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: it up. But Trevor Lawrence, if you're starting Trevor Lawrence
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: in the season, you might as well just go ahead
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and just start him and just.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Deal with it. The points hunter can get a touchdown
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: rushing the ball as well.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: So he is definitely in play here. Basial Tootin is questionable.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Ankle issue.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: A couple other things.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: So we are trying to basically figure out if he's
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: playing or not. If he's not playing, hopefully maybe you
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: have Chris Rodriguez to fill in there. If you do
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: have Chris Rodriguez to fill in there, remember to put
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: him in your running back spot and on.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: The flex spot for that.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: But if Bashel Tootin is playing, it's a game-time decision.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: So if he's playing, we're playing Bashel Tootin.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: No matter what.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: But if Tootin' is out, we look at Chris Rodriguez,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: get a heavier workload. I do expect a little bit
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: of a split with LaQuin Allen. I would expect that
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: split in there. But for the most part, Chris Rodriguez
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: would be in your lineup for both DFS and Seasonal.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: LaQuin Allen may be taking a shot in Seasonal. or
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: not seasonal, but on DFS. Amir Abdullah, I'm just kind
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: of staying away from. I like LaQuinn Allen a little
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: bit more. This would be a game that you would
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: want to try out, LaQuinn Allen versus Amir Abdullah, in
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: my opinion. Get him some touches, get him some successful
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: things going on there. Baltimore's pretty decent against the run,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: but again, you're looking at a lot of time of
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: possession for the Jacksonville Jaguars offense to be on the field, right?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Defense is obviously in play. You're starting that defense in seasonal.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: You're starting that defense in DFS. It's going to be.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Very, very popular.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: In terms of the wide receivers, Parker Washington, Jacoby Myers,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington maybe is a start,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: but he's not one of my favorites. Certainly if you
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: have three guys ahead of him, I would sit Parker Washington.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't even play him in this game. Jacoby Myers
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: hasn't been doing anything. Brian Thomas, maybe he's good for
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: a touchdown, but are you really going to try that
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: on Thursday? I'd rather attack Sunday from the Sunday morning
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: game on if I'm in that situation. Tight end-wise, Brenton
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Strange is actually in a decent spot with Malachi Starks
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: at safety in coverage there. There's also a pretty decent
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: value across the board on all three sites for DFS.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Again, Brenton Strange probably.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Not starting in seasonal unless I don't have a better option. Otherwise,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: we'll just go ahead and skip ahead. Cam Little, if
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: you're looking for a kicker, Jacksonville's offense could stall out.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Be plenty of space for Cam Little to work his
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: magic and I wouldn't even be surprised if they took
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: a shot at a longer field goal for him based
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: on the fact not really scared of the Baltimore offense
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: so if you do the longer field goal the you
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: know plus 60 type field goal on there you're fully
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: reliant that your defense is going to hold them you
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: know to a field goal or worse uh Joe Faggiano,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: we're not playing him. Keaton Slovis is going to be
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: his backup for this game. You might also see Austin
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Reed activated as the emergency quarterback.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Knows the offense here.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: You will notice within here, Jacoby Brissett, he was traded
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: from Arizona to the Baltimore Ravens. But he will not play.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: In this game. He will start after this game. So.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: With Jacoby Brissett there, I think we're a little bit
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: happier about our Derrick Henry shares.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: We're a lot happier about our Zay Flowers shares.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: This is really good for those two players. So now,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you know, definitely if you held, you didn't freak out
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: and tried to trade either or, you know, even if
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: you did trade out, but you got a better trade out,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: but you got, you know, better options out of it, great.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: but Zay Flowers is back, you know, to be in
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: a borderline, probably wide receiver one, two.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Henry, you know, high-end RB2, low-end RB1.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Flowers, this is going to be really good because we
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: know that Jacoby Brissett really targets, you know, one or
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: two players in there. We see it with Trey McBride
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: and Michael Wilson in Arizona. So, Good, good, good news for,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: especially for Zay Flowers on there. From the Baltimore side,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: you know, what do you want to do? Derrick Henry,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: you know, he's great. He's going to cost you a lot.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: This is a really good defense. A lot of people
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: aren't expecting anything out of Derrick Henry. If you're doing,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: if you just want to take a shot, you know,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: something that nobody's going to really want to play, it's
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: probably Derrick Henry.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. try to hold that ball.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Try to keep it out of Jacksonville's offense's hands on
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: that front. Zay Flowers, probably not going to be very
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: highly owned on there, but does have a great matchup
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: against Jordan Lewis in the slot.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: He is in play.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: They've had a partial week with the rookie quarterback and
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: working with the offense and working with starters primarily.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: So a guy like Zay Flowers would be in play.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I don't hate Jacoby.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Lane, but I'm not going to play him. I might
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: pick up Jacoby Lane in the seasonal, though, if he
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: is on the waiver wire, if somebody freaked out. As
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: far as the tight ends are concerned, I'm not playing
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Mark Andrews. Matt Hibner is interesting to me, but Josh
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Cuevas is probably the guy, if you're looking for a
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: real value-type punt guy to– put in there and be
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: able to expand your lineup. I should also mention that
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Adam Randall is questionable to come off the injured reserve
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: for this game, so watch that too. If this game
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: gets kind of out of hand, maybe we get a
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: little bit of rancor. action at the end, but I
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: still don't know if I'm going to start him in DFS.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: As far as the kicker is concerned, and this is
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: big for DFS, this is big if you have a
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: kicker league, right? So Tyler Loop went on IR, groin injury.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: They have Jake Moody on the team. Moody is in play.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: kicker value for showdown slate, but you know, kind of
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: tread lightly on there. So that's the big thing though.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: The big, the big thing was the Jacoby Brissett news
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: yesterday getting traded to the Baltimore Ravens and really kind
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: of saving Zay Flowers and Derrick Henry in the process.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: So all things good, all things good there. In terms
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: of the, spreadsheet, DFS spreadsheet. I'm going to continue to
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: work that. I'm going to go live on TikTok at
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: about 11. Continue to work on the spreadsheet. Hopefully have
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: first run out tonight. Probably after game time on there.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Try to get the run.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of injury issues going on
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: that we need to work through. Especially with Seattle, we
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: get Drew Locke Probably having Drew Locke instead of Sam
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Darnold on there and, you know, just.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: A multitude of various other stuff.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: So at the very least, at the very least, you know,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: we'll have ourselves prepared for the weekend. I do want
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: to go through the spreadsheet again tomorrow on Friday and
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: go through the games and kind of get a pre-player
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: set up for the week 9 slate. So that's what
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I'm currently working on. This video is going to be
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: extra frigging short because there's not really much to talk
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: about when it comes to the Jacksonville-Baltimore game.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: So it is what it is.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Like I said, 11 a.m.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: My time, central time, so about 45 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Going to hop on TikTok if you want to hop
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: in there, ask any questions or whatsoever what you have.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: It's actually been a pretty fun time in there. A
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: lot of people coming.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: In and a lot of trade freakouts and all that
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: type of stuff. But good folks over there having a
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: lot of fun. So that, as they say, is that
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: shortest episode I think I've ever had. Episode 468. The
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Hodor celebration episode. But any which way. I will, if
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I don't see you in the TikTok chat, I will
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: definitely see you tomorrow on Friday.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Peace out. That's one week now.
