Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: All system's going clear.
- 0:07Speaker 2: We're lifting.
- 0:36Speaker 1: What's up everyone? Tyler Tamberline here aka Totag and Tambo
- 0:39Speaker 1: back for another edition of the Takedown Breakdown here on
- 0:42Speaker 1: the ship at Nation YouTube station. We have a special
- 0:45Speaker 1: one this week. We are going to break down the
- 0:47Speaker 1: Milliemaker winner from yesterday. From week twelve, we'll break down
- 0:50Speaker 1: some of the plays, the lineups, the construction, how the
- 0:53Speaker 1: slate went, how it shook out with the chalk et, cetera.
- 0:55Speaker 1: But as you see here got Naids with me as
- 0:57Speaker 1: usual and special guest he goes by stat atl My man,
- 1:01Speaker 1: Billy did some stuff with me last year. We did
- 1:03Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving show last year, and this show is going
- 1:05Speaker 1: to feature a special Thanksgiving first look with both looking
- 1:09Speaker 1: at the options and talking the strategy. So Billy as
- 1:12Speaker 1: the special guest, I'm gonna bring you in first. My man.
- 1:14Speaker 1: How's it going on this fine Monday morning of a
- 1:16Speaker 1: holiday week for my American friends, which, as you know,
- 1:19Speaker 1: I'm mostly American even though I'm Canadian.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it's it's going great. This is like my
- 1:26Speaker 2: favorite favorite week of the year for you know, daily
- 1:30Speaker 2: fantasy stuff. I think, congrats to you. I think on
- 1:35Speaker 2: multiple fronts one great takedown last night, but popped up
- 1:41Speaker 2: on my timeline like Facebook memories whatever. I mean, it
- 1:44Speaker 2: wasn't a Facebook thing, but I think one year right
- 1:47Speaker 2: with DFS Mastermind was just just came up this past week,
- 1:51Speaker 2: so that kind of popped up on my timeline, so
- 1:53Speaker 2: to man, Yeah, I certainly appreciated the project.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Has been a lot of fun over at Shipping Nation,
- 1:58Speaker 1: you know, running that through and getting tons of people
- 2:00Speaker 1: from across the nation and at other places, different faces
- 2:04Speaker 1: like you over a one week's season. We'll talk more
- 2:05Speaker 1: about that in a bit, but you and I did
- 2:07Speaker 1: do a two to four game strategy show over there,
- 2:10Speaker 1: so that's awesome. And then nads, you and I have
- 2:12Speaker 1: done some stuff with the stone and how do youse
- 2:15Speaker 1: sabersim and incorporate all the stuff that we do at
- 2:17Speaker 1: ship a Nation. So when someone like I'm Steven says
- 2:19Speaker 1: how can an optimizer take the information and get the
- 2:22Speaker 1: puzzle correct, I'm sure I'm not the only one that
- 2:24Speaker 1: had the right pieces, but not in the right combination.
- 2:26Speaker 1: That's part of it, you do. I got to get
- 2:28Speaker 1: the right combination. The winner Jay Bigglesworth JB. Gigglesworth actually
- 2:32Speaker 1: was the winner of the twenty dollars million maker did
- 2:34Speaker 1: get those pieces together, but we'll be able to show
- 2:36Speaker 1: you where you can find them. And I think the
- 2:38Speaker 1: key component is that, as we always say on this show,
- 2:41Speaker 1: your inputs are your outputs. So if you spread your
- 2:44Speaker 1: inputs too thin, you could have a lot of the
- 2:46Speaker 1: right pieces, but you may not get the right combination
- 2:49Speaker 1: if you're not playing enough lineups. I'm not saying that
- 2:51Speaker 1: you have to play more. I'm just saying if you
- 2:53Speaker 1: only have so many lineups, it's like somebody who play
- 2:55Speaker 1: single antur every week. I applaud that. I think it's great,
- 2:57Speaker 1: but if you don't win all the time, it's because
- 2:59Speaker 1: it's tough and when you only have one lineup to
- 3:01Speaker 1: get there with, it can make it even tougher. But Naids,
- 3:03Speaker 1: I'll bring you in man. How is your Week twelve
- 3:05Speaker 1: and any thoughts going into this holiday week? This should
- 3:08Speaker 1: be a fun show of breaking it all down.
- 3:10Speaker 3: Yeah, well got close, fairly close last night and showed on.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Obviously everybody can say that Week twelve main slate wasn't
- 3:17Speaker 3: wasn't the best again, had a lot of the right pieces,
- 3:21Speaker 3: but again I'm three max five max type players. So
- 3:24Speaker 3: it's it's really tough, right when you're kind of under
- 3:28Speaker 3: exposed to a game and you attacked the game certain
- 3:30Speaker 3: way and it didn't go your way, and that's the
- 3:32Speaker 3: nature of the beast, right typically you're gonna lose pretty
- 3:34Speaker 3: much everything you put in that week there. So overall,
- 3:38Speaker 3: not not the best week, but we got a big
- 3:40Speaker 3: one tonight, and then obviously we've got a big, big
- 3:43Speaker 3: slate I had coming Thursday that we're going to.
- 3:44Speaker 4: Talk about too, So looking forward to to breaking it
- 3:47Speaker 4: all down here.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Yeah, I was pricing came out first thing this morning.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Me and Billy were talking last nightly, how is it
- 3:52Speaker 1: still not out? Even fan Duel beat them to the
- 3:55Speaker 1: punch right there. So let's uh, let's go through this year.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Just give me one second on that, we'll see. One
- 4:01Speaker 1: thing I want to bring up first was Philly Phantom,
- 4:03Speaker 1: who up here said three profit of weeks in a row,
- 4:07Speaker 1: thanks to the nation, amazing stuff and then said still
- 4:09Speaker 1: rock in the stash. Yeah. I got a text from
- 4:11Speaker 1: Mayo this morning said million hip no no, no, that's
- 4:14Speaker 1: a million guaranteed prize pool. Last night that was more
- 4:17Speaker 1: like hashtag chop it than hashtag ship it. It was twenty
- 4:20Speaker 1: nine thousand, So I'm very happy, grateful, and I'll take it.
- 4:23Speaker 1: I have no clue how that lineup held up, because
- 4:25Speaker 1: when I went to bed, it was like there was
- 4:26Speaker 1: a Stafford version directly below it that somehow he did
- 4:30Speaker 1: not get any more yardage or bonuses or really anything
- 4:32Speaker 1: that did enough to get him over the top. So
- 4:35Speaker 1: very thankful for that this week. But Billy, did you
- 4:37Speaker 1: have anything when it comes to this question, I'll give
- 4:39Speaker 1: you a run at this. Obviously, you and I've talked
- 4:41Speaker 1: a ton of strategy in the past. What's your thoughts
- 4:43Speaker 1: about the right pieces? And I mean you've talked about
- 4:46Speaker 1: going one hundred miles an hour in your own lane,
- 4:48Speaker 1: But what's your thoughts on this?
- 4:50Speaker 2: So I guess I'll lead in by saying I lean
- 4:54Speaker 2: more towards Austin's than you in terms of rosters. So
- 5:01Speaker 2: it's different if you're playing one hundred and fifty three
- 5:03Speaker 2: hundred rosters, but generally on most slates, like if you're
- 5:07Speaker 2: playing one hundred and fifty rosters, like you're going to
- 5:11Speaker 2: have all the right pieces because you're playing so many players,
- 5:15Speaker 2: so that you know it's just it's everybody had all
- 5:18Speaker 2: the right pieces in their pool, you know. To me,
- 5:23Speaker 2: it's just you've got to be really truly willing to lose,
- 5:26Speaker 2: you know, if you're not playing one hundred and fifty rosters,
- 5:29Speaker 2: if you're playing twenty thirty rosters or less a week. Like,
- 5:33Speaker 2: you know, we talk about this a lot. I'm sure
- 5:35Speaker 2: you guys talk about it a lot behind the paywall,
- 5:37Speaker 2: like you've got to be willing to trim the player pool,
- 5:40Speaker 2: like you just can't play everybody or else, like you
- 5:43Speaker 2: just really have no shot of getting to the top
- 5:46Speaker 2: of the leaderboard.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Yeah, some good points there, for sure. And I think
- 5:49Speaker 1: it also has to be dictated by you know, what
- 5:52Speaker 1: your thoughts are on the slate, Like if you like
- 5:55Speaker 1: seven quarterbacks, it's probably not a good week for single entry,
- 5:58Speaker 1: and you may have to figure out what a three
- 5:59Speaker 1: max looks like. I can still trim that down, but
- 6:01Speaker 1: I'm just saying we're a five max or playing twenty
- 6:04Speaker 1: in the three dollars twenty max as opposed to one
- 6:06Speaker 1: in the fifty dollars single entry however you usually play,
- 6:09Speaker 1: So you should be dictating the slate based off of that.
- 6:12Speaker 1: I can't speak on that enough it's something we talk
- 6:13Speaker 1: about a ton over at Ship and Nation, you guys
- 6:16Speaker 1: over at one week's season, and then same within the
- 6:17Speaker 1: Mastermind Project, which you did talk about. So I'll bring
- 6:20Speaker 1: it up quickly because it has been a year. Yesterday
- 6:22Speaker 1: was the one year anniversary of the Mastermind Project, and
- 6:26Speaker 1: there'll be some changes in twenty twenty six, so I'm
- 6:29Speaker 1: just gonna bring it up now quickly. We've talked some
- 6:31Speaker 1: stuff behind the scenes on I'll get all that out
- 6:34Speaker 1: of the way here quickly. Just before we hop in.
- 6:35Speaker 1: We will be breaking down the perfect lineup as you
- 6:38Speaker 1: see there on the screen. We will be breaking down
- 6:40Speaker 1: the twenty dollars million maker with JB. Gigglesworth. But getting
- 6:43Speaker 1: this out of the way quickly, just so everybody knows
- 6:45Speaker 1: what's going on. If you go to Ship a Nation,
- 6:48Speaker 1: you go to more, you could see Mastermind right there.
- 6:51Speaker 1: I'm only leaving the one time option open until the
- 6:54Speaker 1: end of twenty twenty five, so anyone who has already
- 6:57Speaker 1: got in on the one time option, you're good forever.
- 6:59Speaker 1: You'll be in all the new add ons, et cetera.
- 7:01Speaker 1: In twenty twenty six, we've hit a sort of sort
- 7:04Speaker 1: of threshold where I'm very comfortable just changing it based
- 7:07Speaker 1: on the setup we talked about it. When you get
- 7:09Speaker 1: into it, you know, there's a ton of different things
- 7:11Speaker 1: that you get within the project. The strategy stuff like
- 7:14Speaker 1: Billion and I have done and NAIDS and I have done.
- 7:16Speaker 1: There's the learning events where we go through and talk
- 7:18Speaker 1: about certain sports, the case studies, the exclusive interviews with
- 7:22Speaker 1: all the DFS pros around the industry, the community controlled
- 7:25Speaker 1: content where you can help sort of come up with
- 7:27Speaker 1: ideas of what we're doing, a separate private discord, everything
- 7:30Speaker 1: that goes with that. And the pricing is very simple
- 7:33Speaker 1: right now. It is two ninety seven to get in
- 7:35Speaker 1: one time, you're done, you don't ever pay again, you
- 7:37Speaker 1: get everything else that comes with it, or you can
- 7:39Speaker 1: do a ninety nine dollars there's no extra payment, it's
- 7:41Speaker 1: just you get in for less upfront. But it's basically
- 7:44Speaker 1: going to end at the end of twenty twenty five,
- 7:47Speaker 1: where I've said this to people within the project and
- 7:49Speaker 1: they know they're still going to get everything as is,
- 7:51Speaker 1: but it will be pieced out. So right now, when
- 7:53Speaker 1: you join, you get you know, I'll show you here quickly.
- 7:57Speaker 1: You get both of my courses. Mind map and Mindmap two.
- 8:01Speaker 1: So that is the top ten topics, tips, tricks and
- 8:03Speaker 1: tidbits that everybody sent in and wanted to know. This
- 8:05Speaker 1: is a three and a half hour course. This is
- 8:07Speaker 1: an additional three and a half hour course breaking down
- 8:10Speaker 1: all the other questions that people asked about. And if
- 8:12Speaker 1: you go to ship at nation dot com slash Mastermind,
- 8:15Speaker 1: you can scroll down and click on the courses and
- 8:17Speaker 1: you'll be able to see everything they entail. Not going
- 8:19Speaker 1: to spend too much time on that now, but there
- 8:22Speaker 1: is two more bonuses you get if you join the
- 8:24Speaker 1: one time package before the end of twenty twenty five,
- 8:27Speaker 1: so you have a month and a few days. You
- 8:29Speaker 1: get the podcast only package, so you will get everything
- 8:32Speaker 1: else in podcast only format, so all the stuff that's
- 8:35Speaker 1: already on the site. You will get the podcast version
- 8:38Speaker 1: unlocked as well, so you can listen to it at
- 8:40Speaker 1: the gym, on the way home, on vacation, whatever it
- 8:43Speaker 1: is you want. You will get the nfl DFS Mega Course,
- 8:46Speaker 1: which breaks down a lot of what we're talking about
- 8:48Speaker 1: and includes the two to four game slate. That's by
- 8:51Speaker 1: the way, Billy does an hour, an hour and fifteen minutes.
- 8:53Speaker 1: I looked it up today that you and I spent
- 8:55Speaker 1: on that breaking it down. I think I have it
- 8:57Speaker 1: here an hour and sixteen minutes. You see on the
- 9:00Speaker 1: screen just for a two to four game slate. There
- 9:02Speaker 1: is Thanksgiving, there is Christmas, there is all the playoff slates,
- 9:06Speaker 1: there's everything else that goes with it. So I'll let
- 9:08Speaker 1: you talk on that in a minute. But that's everything
- 9:10Speaker 1: that you get included, and you don't have to listen
- 9:12Speaker 1: to me talk about it. If you go to the
- 9:14Speaker 1: site as well, ship a nation dot com slash Mastermind,
- 9:16Speaker 1: you can see the video testimonials right here, and then
- 9:19Speaker 1: you can click see more testimonials and it will open
- 9:22Speaker 1: up to over two hundred testimonials from DFS players like
- 9:26Speaker 1: yourself around the world that are playing DFS and the
- 9:28Speaker 1: interviews they've watched and things that they've learned and picked up. So, Billy,
- 9:32Speaker 1: you've been involved with it. We did this course together.
- 9:34Speaker 1: You want to add maybe two seconds on it and
- 9:36Speaker 1: then we'll hop into the winning lineups anything else there.
- 9:39Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I think you hit on it.
- 9:40Speaker 2: Well, it's just you know, Thanksgiving along with kind of
- 9:44Speaker 2: like the playoffs for NFL. It's just one of these
- 9:47Speaker 2: really unique animals in that you know it's a short slate,
- 9:52Speaker 2: but that they're staggered where you know it's you've got
- 9:56Speaker 2: to you know, for the playoffs, it's you know, overnight.
- 9:59Speaker 2: For for Thanksgiving it's you know, thirty minutes an hour.
- 10:03Speaker 2: But it kind of allows you to build the plane,
- 10:07Speaker 2: you know, as you fly type deal, because you're gaining
- 10:10Speaker 2: more and more information as the slate goes on. It's
- 10:13Speaker 2: really what makes it, you know, what separates it from
- 10:16Speaker 2: a regular main slate.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Yeah. I love your talk there. Like a lot of
- 10:19Speaker 1: people don't know how to handle the staggered starts, and
- 10:22Speaker 1: those can be highly advantageous. That's one of the edges
- 10:25Speaker 1: still left. I know people struggle with late swap, but
- 10:27Speaker 1: late swap when you have a staggered start, is another
- 10:30Speaker 1: animal and it can work really well in your favor.
- 10:32Speaker 1: I know we're going to talk about some of that
- 10:34Speaker 1: at the end of AIDS. I know you've been part
- 10:35Speaker 1: of Mastermind since day one. You've helped me out with
- 10:37Speaker 1: some stuff there as well. This course with Billy, I know,
- 10:40Speaker 1: made a ton of people money just last year to
- 10:42Speaker 1: start this thing off rolling into Thanksgiving, that people applied
- 10:45Speaker 1: it throughout. Do you have anything else you want to
- 10:46Speaker 1: add on this with the Mastermind project in general, and
- 10:48Speaker 1: then we'll dive right into the perfect lineup.
- 10:51Speaker 3: No, a lot of what we talked about on the
- 10:52Speaker 3: show every week, A lot of you guys in the chat,
- 10:54Speaker 3: I have watched this multiple weeks in a row or
- 10:57Speaker 3: trickle in throughout.
- 10:59Speaker 4: I would just say it take a step further. Right.
- 11:01Speaker 3: Everybody talks about how to try and teach you, right,
- 11:04Speaker 3: they talk it, but they don't walk the walk, right,
- 11:07Speaker 3: everyone across the industry, right, not bashing anyone, but everyone says, oh,
- 11:11Speaker 3: we teach you how to do this, this and this,
- 11:13Speaker 3: and that's truly not.
- 11:15Speaker 4: The case, right, it's just a marketing scheme to get
- 11:17Speaker 4: you to sign up.
- 11:19Speaker 3: This is truly a course that helped you and teaches
- 11:22Speaker 3: you the ins and outs of DFS. And again it's
- 11:25Speaker 3: not to say that you're gonna sign up and you're
- 11:26Speaker 3: gonna win millions of dollars. But there's many DFS pros
- 11:31Speaker 3: that have come on done interviews. There's process videos on
- 11:34Speaker 3: how to build a process.
- 11:35Speaker 4: Right.
- 11:35Speaker 3: Everybody tells you, oh, stick to your process, stick your process,
- 11:38Speaker 3: and doesn't teach you how to build a process.
- 11:40Speaker 4: Right.
- 11:40Speaker 3: So kind of takes you back to square one, right,
- 11:43Speaker 3: even if you're rudimentary and brand new and NFL d
- 11:45Speaker 3: Fast or any sport. DFS kind of gives you the
- 11:49Speaker 3: framework right to work as much as you want.
- 11:51Speaker 1: Right.
- 11:51Speaker 3: You can learn as much or as little as you
- 11:53Speaker 3: want if you sign up for it. But the value
- 11:55Speaker 3: there is absolutely incredible for for what you can get
- 11:58Speaker 3: out of it. Truly.
- 11:59Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're watching this show, it's definitely for you.
- 12:01Speaker 1: But like I said, I always say in any if
- 12:03Speaker 1: you're not a membership and nation yet, start there. Get
- 12:06Speaker 1: access to the tools we're going to show you in
- 12:08Speaker 1: a little bit with the Millimaker winner, how you could
- 12:10Speaker 1: have found that for your own stuff or get close
- 12:12Speaker 1: to it. I always say this two BILLI is like
- 12:14Speaker 1: in the single entry stuff. A lot of this show
- 12:16Speaker 1: is based on mme to your point of people playing
- 12:18Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty rosters and having multiple multiple scenarios
- 12:21Speaker 1: and whatnot. But you can also just adapt your play
- 12:24Speaker 1: to whatever fits your needs bankroll, contest selection, et cetera.
- 12:27Speaker 1: If you're a one lineup player, it's probably better to
- 12:30Speaker 1: play it in a single entry and find something that
- 12:32Speaker 1: suits your needs. Smaller field still has a really good
- 12:34Speaker 1: payout structure, et cetera, et cetera, and then you can
- 12:37Speaker 1: reverse engineer some of this stuff you may not, as
- 12:40Speaker 1: coach Savs says, it's pretty interesting. This week's Millie was
- 12:43Speaker 1: almost the perfect score, so you could see it on
- 12:44Speaker 1: the screen. You may not land on the optimal or
- 12:47Speaker 1: the exact lineup that would have won the twenty dollars
- 12:49Speaker 1: million Maker, but that's often not what it takes. I
- 12:51Speaker 1: think the this is just using again, you could scale
- 12:53Speaker 1: this up or down. I think one hundred and fifty
- 12:55Speaker 1: dollars three max was a two point fifty versus the
- 12:58Speaker 1: twenty dollars million Maker was a two versus the fully
- 13:02Speaker 1: capped out optimal. And I'll let you take this one first, Billy.
- 13:04Speaker 1: You see it there on the screen was two ninety five.
- 13:08Speaker 1: This is how it shook out. You had Jamis Winston
- 13:11Speaker 1: Robinson with Gibbs, you had Emmanuel Wilson with no Josh Jacobs.
- 13:15Speaker 1: You had the Jackson Smith and Jigma. The Big Game
- 13:19Speaker 1: sound shot out my guy Alex Blickel. That was his
- 13:20Speaker 1: leverage lane on the Saturday show. Over here at ship
- 13:23Speaker 1: in Nation. You plug in the Michael Wilson chalk who
- 13:25Speaker 1: made sense at forty eight hundred. Still know Marv Harrison,
- 13:28Speaker 1: et cetera. You get a piece of the New England
- 13:30Speaker 1: side with Henry, piece of the Philly game with AJ Brown,
- 13:34Speaker 1: and then you land on the Cardinals defense at twenty
- 13:37Speaker 1: seven hundred. It was fifty k flat. And we review
- 13:39Speaker 1: this one, Billy, obviously because it's it's the perfect lineup,
- 13:41Speaker 1: it's the optimal. But just to sort of work our
- 13:43Speaker 1: way backwards, I would say this is probably the most
- 13:47Speaker 1: optimal we've ever seen where it's like everybody still landed
- 13:50Speaker 1: on all these options. It wasn't like last week with
- 13:52Speaker 1: Gainwell and Sean Tucker. So give us your first thoughts here,
- 13:55Speaker 1: Billy on this one.
- 13:57Speaker 2: I mean, outside of James miss Winston, Wandel Robinson, was
- 14:03Speaker 2: anyone on this lineup low owned, like under ten percent owned.
- 14:09Speaker 2: I mean I don't even know that Wondell Robinson was
- 14:11Speaker 2: under ten percent own, just doesn't have ownership on it.
- 14:13Speaker 4: I'm just everybody else is really highly owned.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the chalk definitely smashed yesterday. I know that
- 14:20Speaker 1: was the case. I can guarantee you one thing. I'll
- 14:22Speaker 1: always take my l's where I need to. The the
- 14:25Speaker 1: four v four swapped the Chalk Corp did not work
- 14:28Speaker 1: because that included Gibbs Wilson and Chase Brown, and it
- 14:31Speaker 1: was really out of the spite of like Chase Brown
- 14:33Speaker 1: and Emmanuel Wilson, who we knew were great plays. But
- 14:36Speaker 1: it was like, is there a way that you could
- 14:37Speaker 1: flip it and make it so that doesn't hit And
- 14:39Speaker 1: if you want it to be on popular stacks, typically
- 14:42Speaker 1: you'll want to find ways within those builds to get
- 14:44Speaker 1: different a little bit, and I thought that was a
- 14:46Speaker 1: way to do it. I felt like Henderson had a
- 14:48Speaker 1: ton of opportunities. He was way ahead of the market
- 14:50Speaker 1: share what people had him at. I think he ended
- 14:52Speaker 1: up getting double digit carries up to the teens high
- 14:55Speaker 1: teens and just didn't get it on the one yard
- 14:57Speaker 1: line stuff. And that's fine, And then I think was
- 15:00Speaker 1: great had two could have three touchdowns for Baltimore. He
- 15:03Speaker 1: did still end up in some places there, and then
- 15:07Speaker 1: Montgomery was the one that got crushed. I think Naid's
- 15:09Speaker 1: that was one of the things on this slate is
- 15:11Speaker 1: because if you didn't find the Winston Wandale stuff, Let's say,
- 15:15Speaker 1: because to to Billy's point, Wondale still got to seven
- 15:19Speaker 1: point seven. I think in the twenty dollars, it was
- 15:21Speaker 1: like he was just under ten and Winston only four.
- 15:24Speaker 1: He was the guy that could make it all work.
- 15:25Speaker 1: But what they allowed you to do was to get
- 15:27Speaker 1: to the Gibbs and the Saint Browns of the world,
- 15:30Speaker 1: where many of us were content with saying, if they're
- 15:33Speaker 1: gonna put up thirty plus, why not Montgomery, why not
- 15:36Speaker 1: Jamison Williams. And then of course we'd seen Dan Campbell
- 15:39Speaker 1: say that he wants to get them involved, take over
- 15:41Speaker 1: the play calling and get Jamison Williams involved, But we
- 15:44Speaker 1: just didn't see those drives. Jamo hasn't own it, which
- 15:47Speaker 1: we always know can turn into a zero. That's what
- 15:49Speaker 1: happened yesterday, kind of like Romo doonesay a couple of
- 15:52Speaker 1: weeks ago with double zero's in his lineup in his name,
- 15:54Speaker 1: because that's how it goes. But nay's your thoughts.
- 15:57Speaker 3: Yeah, The first thing I see here is you could
- 16:00Speaker 3: have landed on something like this, right is you knew
- 16:03Speaker 3: everybody wanted to go in on that Lions game, right
- 16:06Speaker 3: that was the game of the week, But everybody was
- 16:09Speaker 3: trying to figure out how to get the golf side
- 16:12Speaker 3: right right and how to figure out the golf side,
- 16:14Speaker 3: nobody was really thinking, Okay, if the Lions are truly
- 16:17Speaker 3: hitting their ceiling, I get it, right, Dan campbellill run
- 16:19Speaker 3: up the score and all of this and all of
- 16:21Speaker 3: that nonsense. But at the end of the week, I
- 16:23Speaker 3: mean it's still second half of the season, week twelve
- 16:25Speaker 3: or a week yeah, week twelve with a short week, right,
- 16:28Speaker 3: You really truly thought he was going to really run
- 16:30Speaker 3: up his guys out there with a short turnaround coming
- 16:34Speaker 3: on Thanksgiving. And if that's the case, if those guys
- 16:37Speaker 3: are getting there to the ceiling that everybody thinks they
- 16:39Speaker 3: are because they want to play them with ownership, you
- 16:41Speaker 3: have to assume at least somewhere on the other side,
- 16:44Speaker 3: I mean, the Giants have to score somewhat and a
- 16:47Speaker 3: forty six hundred dollars quarterback when most are stopping at
- 16:50Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett at fifty three hundred dollars. Right, That's kind
- 16:54Speaker 3: of how you could have landed on this and then
- 16:56Speaker 3: just fit it because it unlocked the ceilings of a
- 16:58Speaker 3: guy like JSN, like Jamior Gibbs how to play Gibbs differently,
- 17:02Speaker 3: which we'll talk about when we go into the stack Seeker.
- 17:04Speaker 3: That's how you do it right? You play the other
- 17:06Speaker 3: side of the chalk game that everybody wants. How many
- 17:08Speaker 3: times will we seen this? I know you had talked
- 17:10Speaker 3: about it a couple of times on the show yesterday
- 17:13Speaker 3: talking about the everybody's on one side of the game.
- 17:17Speaker 4: How come nobody wants the other quarterback at all?
- 17:19Speaker 3: When you know Jamis just chucks it regardless of whatever
- 17:23Speaker 3: the game script is. I mean, he's always done that.
- 17:25Speaker 3: We know that from playing Fantasy, So I think that's
- 17:27Speaker 3: really important. The other thing, I know, what's the other piece?
- 17:30Speaker 4: You want to know?
- 17:31Speaker 3: Everybody wanted Trey McBride, right, Well, how does Trey McBride
- 17:35Speaker 3: not get there? While it's because a cheaper tight end
- 17:37Speaker 3: like a Hunter Henry who leverages Mark Andrews at the
- 17:40Speaker 3: same price, leverages the spend up Trey McBride to get
- 17:42Speaker 3: you on a different roster construction.
- 17:44Speaker 4: And how does Trey McBride not get there?
- 17:46Speaker 3: Well, maybe it's Michael Wilson taking the touches, taking the touchdowns,
- 17:50Speaker 3: and then you pair it up with the defense because
- 17:52Speaker 3: if the game's not competitive, or if they're kind of
- 17:55Speaker 3: just walking the game, right, maybe they save Trey McBride
- 17:58Speaker 3: as well. So that's kind of some muchditional thoughts that
- 18:01Speaker 3: I had on this and spent more time on the
- 18:04Speaker 3: perfect here, because when we get to the actual winning
- 18:06Speaker 3: lineup of the twenty dollars, it's going to be very
- 18:08Speaker 3: very similar to what we see here.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not that far off. The way they put
- 18:12Speaker 1: it together was actually quite nice obviously, you know, like
- 18:14Speaker 1: you see, I think JB. Giggles Worth. So I didn't
- 18:17Speaker 1: look it up, but here's two lineups in the top
- 18:19Speaker 1: eight that were close. Some other names within there, but
- 18:23Speaker 1: I think J. B. Giggles Worth getting the win here.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Billy was a Jamis Robinson with Amanra and Gibbs, then
- 18:31Speaker 1: went with Emmanuel Wilson, did the double Philly spend with
- 18:35Speaker 1: DeVonta and AJ Brown, and then had Hunter Henry and
- 18:38Speaker 1: the Cleveland defense. So this really fits your your point
- 18:42Speaker 1: before and that's where I saw the seven point seven. Yeah,
- 18:44Speaker 1: so it was a four percent Jamis, a seven point
- 18:46Speaker 1: seven Robinson, and then nobody less than thirteen point three,
- 18:51Speaker 1: but really mostly over twenty up to thirty eight percent.
- 18:54Speaker 1: So it's just not who you play, it's how you
- 18:56Speaker 1: play them. This this definitely got the job done and
- 18:58Speaker 1: cleared second place by five points. Even second place was
- 19:02Speaker 1: a dupe. Actually, so that's interesting too. You don't often
- 19:05Speaker 1: see that, but when this much chock gets kind of
- 19:08Speaker 1: makes sense. But it was a bit different version. But
- 19:10Speaker 1: anything you want to add on this one, really.
- 19:13Speaker 2: I mean I the top half of this roster, I
- 19:17Speaker 2: prefer to the optimal just because I feel like this
- 19:20Speaker 2: is easier to land on right to me, I like
- 19:24Speaker 2: to make really correlated bets with like Jamir Gibbs, I'm
- 19:28Speaker 2: on ros Saint Brown, Wondel Robinson, James Winston. Where hey,
- 19:31Speaker 2: if this game goes off and I'm right with how
- 19:36Speaker 2: it plays out, I'm now getting four pieces right with
- 19:39Speaker 2: one bet.
- 19:40Speaker 4: It's kind of like if you look at the.
- 19:42Speaker 2: A roster as a nine nine digit code or crack
- 19:47Speaker 2: you know something you got to crack here, nine digits
- 19:49Speaker 2: nine odds. You know, if you can get four things
- 19:52Speaker 2: right with one bet, it makes it so much more
- 19:56Speaker 2: likely that you can get five more things right. Then
- 19:59Speaker 2: if you only go the skinny stack, and now you
- 20:01Speaker 2: got to get seven more things right versus five more things,
- 20:04Speaker 2: people think, oh, it's only two more things right, but
- 20:07Speaker 2: it's infinitely so much more difficult to get those two
- 20:10Speaker 2: more things right by just going a city stack versus
- 20:14Speaker 2: kind of leaning into a game a little bit more.
- 20:17Speaker 4: And you know, if you look.
- 20:18Speaker 2: At the game like we were expecting Detroit to score
- 20:21Speaker 2: four or five touchdowns, this is literally just picking the
- 20:25Speaker 2: two most likely players on Detroit to have big games
- 20:29Speaker 2: in Gibbs and Amnas Saint Brown. And then to Austin's
- 20:33Speaker 2: point of what makes sense on the other side, it's
- 20:36Speaker 2: grabbing a you know, Jameis Winston, a guy who we
- 20:38Speaker 2: know is going to throw the ball a ton. He's
- 20:40Speaker 2: got some rushing upside. He had a rushing touchdown last week.
- 20:44Speaker 2: Not saying you're expecting that, but he at least has
- 20:46Speaker 2: that in his range of outcomes, and then you're kind
- 20:49Speaker 2: of going with his wide receiver. One wasn't a spot
- 20:52Speaker 2: I was on for me. I was on Darius Slayton
- 20:55Speaker 2: and Theo Johnson a lot more than Mondel Robinson personally.
- 20:58Speaker 2: But that's just again because I play a really tight
- 21:00Speaker 2: player pool, so I can't cover all the outcomes.
- 21:03Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean this made a lot of sense.
- 21:06Speaker 1: Yeah, once you see it, it's always that's always the
- 21:08Speaker 1: common thread in the chat is like, oh, how did
- 21:10Speaker 1: I not land on this one. It's all part of
- 21:12Speaker 1: it's because you, like Billy said earlier, especially if you
- 21:14Speaker 1: play more lineups. A lot of these guys were at
- 21:16Speaker 1: least within your pool and thought processes and all that.
- 21:19Speaker 1: But I know Nad's you were talking about yesterday in
- 21:21Speaker 1: the discord and I liked it too. It's like, if
- 21:23Speaker 1: you had Slayton, he was a little bit cheaper to
- 21:26Speaker 1: allow this stuff to be more affordable, he would have fit.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Like again, not quite, you'd have to finagle it further elsewhere,
- 21:32Speaker 1: but not a lot of people are putting the two
- 21:33Speaker 1: Philly receivers without hurts things like that. But if you
- 21:36Speaker 1: could get up to jas. This is the thing about
- 21:38Speaker 1: this stack when people say it's unconventional of like jamis
- 21:41Speaker 1: with Robinson and then two Detroit it's like a two
- 21:44Speaker 1: to two. But it's because if you could put golf here,
- 21:46Speaker 1: we would, but it's expensive, so why not just get
- 21:49Speaker 1: the quarterback on the other side that still allows us
- 21:51Speaker 1: to fit those two while everyone else is punting for
- 21:55Speaker 1: Jamison Williams, David Montgomery, Slayton, et cetera. To force the
- 22:00Speaker 1: other stuff in. So that's why it always feels like
- 22:01Speaker 1: you're in the right place with not all the right pieces.
- 22:04Speaker 1: But Nads, I'll let you chime in on this one.
- 22:05Speaker 1: It's again pretty well set up. I know, Andrews said
- 22:10Speaker 1: for Slate and he said this one see aj Brown,
- 22:12Speaker 1: DeVonta and Hurts wasn't needed. This will be a good
- 22:14Speaker 1: battle for me and Alex. Just a fun one because
- 22:17Speaker 1: his guy JSN did crush and most certainly deserves it
- 22:20Speaker 1: and ended up on the optimal. But two of my
- 22:23Speaker 1: three ended up on the winning lineup and actually go
- 22:25Speaker 1: home with a million dollars? So which is it here?
- 22:27Speaker 1: Come on? But no, I love Alex and doing that
- 22:30Speaker 1: show with him. I think it's gonna be a lot
- 22:31Speaker 1: of fun. We've had some pretty good thoughts throughout the season,
- 22:34Speaker 1: So Nad's I'll kick it to you on this one.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Any additional thoughts on the twenty dollars million Maker winner.
- 22:39Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 22:40Speaker 3: So the first thing I did I see here is
- 22:43Speaker 3: Sim's projections. Everything were slamming Jamier Gibbs correlated with Jameson
- 22:48Speaker 3: Williams for the salary discount yesterday, and I went to
- 22:51Speaker 3: stack Seeker and looked at it. Almost thirteen lineups had
- 22:54Speaker 3: Jamiir Gibbs with Jamison Williams. That dropped all the way
- 22:57Speaker 3: down to almost nine thousand, So you left about four
- 23:00Speaker 3: to five thousand lineups in the dust just going to
- 23:03Speaker 3: amanas Saint Brown.
- 23:04Speaker 4: Right.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Guess who else was fifty six hundred dollars right? Or
- 23:08Speaker 3: fifty seven hundred dollars Jamison Williams. Well, why don't I
- 23:11Speaker 3: just attach Wandale Robinson to a cheap quarterback right as
- 23:16Speaker 3: the PPR guy and say, hey, maybe this game is
- 23:19Speaker 3: competitive game. If it's a competitive game, then Wandeal Robinson,
- 23:22Speaker 3: we know, is going to get the targets, right, he
- 23:25Speaker 3: is a slot guy. I know a lot of us
- 23:27Speaker 3: were on slate and myself included as a way to
- 23:29Speaker 3: kind of speed that game up and get it back
- 23:32Speaker 3: to Jared Goff, right, because most people wanted to play
- 23:34Speaker 3: the Jared Goff side. Right, But how do you think
- 23:36Speaker 3: about that differently and kind of reverse engineer it? Well,
- 23:39Speaker 3: what if this game do you don't need to speed
- 23:42Speaker 3: it up? What if perhaps, right, the giants are competitive
- 23:47Speaker 3: in this game? Right on the back of jamis right,
- 23:50Speaker 3: likely it's one of his receivers, And who's the most
- 23:54Speaker 3: likely for that to happen is Wandale Robinson. Who's not
- 23:57Speaker 3: just coming back off an injury as well. Darius Slayton
- 24:01Speaker 3: is right, so I think that's that's the number one thing.
- 24:04Speaker 3: And then the DeVante Smith A J. Brown combo pack.
- 24:07Speaker 3: I mean people can say, yeah, this is unconventional, play
- 24:12Speaker 3: two wide receivers without their quarterback. But I mean there's
- 24:15Speaker 3: a price gap here. Jalen Hurts was what the third
- 24:18Speaker 3: or fourth high stone or for fourth high stone or
- 24:21Speaker 3: highest priced? Excuse me, jamis yet Yeah, highest priced and
- 24:27Speaker 3: you need that salary right to unlock a different roster construction. Right,
- 24:31Speaker 3: attacking the Lions game, right, you're not playing golf. You're
- 24:34Speaker 3: not playing Jamison Williams like most people are. In a
- 24:37Speaker 3: setup like this, you're pairing Gibbs in a Monra and
- 24:40Speaker 3: just saying, hey, maybe they just soak up the entire
- 24:42Speaker 3: end zone and a Monro soaks up all kind of
- 24:45Speaker 3: the field, the catches and everything. Without Sam Laporta, right,
- 24:49Speaker 3: everybody forgets a Monro's target share goes to like thirty
- 24:52Speaker 3: six percent or thirty eight percent whatever it is without.
- 24:55Speaker 4: Sam Laporta on the field.
- 24:57Speaker 3: And just because it didn't work last week, right now,
- 25:00Speaker 3: people were kind of lower on him at the price
- 25:02Speaker 3: point compared to the other additional lines players in the setup.
- 25:07Speaker 4: So that's the biggest thing I see.
- 25:08Speaker 3: And then people were trying to figure out the Trayvon Henderson,
- 25:10Speaker 3: Ramondre Stevenson running running game, right. Thing, Maybe it's just
- 25:14Speaker 3: Hunter Henry right in the offense. I know we're joking
- 25:18Speaker 3: about the game log watching there for Hunter Henry, but
- 25:21Speaker 3: tight ends against the Bengals, I mean really anything against
- 25:24Speaker 3: the Bengals, but specifically tight ends against the Bengals just
- 25:27Speaker 3: absolutely destroy them. He's involved in this offense, and you
- 25:32Speaker 3: don't have to figure out the running game, right.
- 25:33Speaker 4: So I think that's some of the biggest things I see.
- 25:36Speaker 3: And then you can get away playing the chalk defense,
- 25:38Speaker 3: right Miles Garrett up to eighteen sex now against Gino Smith.
- 25:42Speaker 3: I mean, that's going to be a talking point the
- 25:43Speaker 3: rest of the season, is any defense facing the Raiders
- 25:46Speaker 3: because they literally have no offensive line. So overall, you
- 25:49Speaker 3: needed two pieces to be different, and it was a
- 25:52Speaker 3: correlated way, right.
- 25:53Speaker 4: It wasn't a random wide receiver, it wasn't a random thisss.
- 25:56Speaker 3: It was a correlated piece on how to attack the
- 25:58Speaker 3: most popular game different than what the field wanted to.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Yeah, and what did Jason Jameison Williams end up getting
- 26:04Speaker 1: to for ownership. I think we have it here twenty
- 26:07Speaker 1: two point six percent, So yeah, a lot of people
- 26:10Speaker 1: are looking to get there. That is one really good
- 26:12Speaker 1: point of Like people asked a lot in the Discord
- 26:14Speaker 1: Australia like, well, what was the pivot again? It's easier
- 26:16Speaker 1: when you have the answer sheet in front of you
- 26:17Speaker 1: to be able to tell you all easy it's Wondale Robinson.
- 26:20Speaker 1: But the thought process of if you know Gibbs is
- 26:23Speaker 1: good for a reason. There's his ownership, if you know
- 26:25Speaker 1: that Amon Ras just it's kind of figuring out how
- 26:27Speaker 1: to play them and what would that look like. This
- 26:29Speaker 1: was definitely a way to do so while still getting
- 26:32Speaker 1: other chalk pieces in there. I will ask you this though, Billy,
- 26:35Speaker 1: because this is something I think can be taken away
- 26:37Speaker 1: for future purposes, Like, yes, Wondale was the answer there
- 26:41Speaker 1: in this case. And if you're not playing Jamison Williams,
- 26:43Speaker 1: why not get to Wandale plus the dudes even around
- 26:45Speaker 1: Jamison Williams of DeVonta And though it's all the five
- 26:48Speaker 1: K guys but Jamison while using the guys that would
- 26:51Speaker 1: hurt Jamison Williams, even though they're just his own. But
- 26:54Speaker 1: let me ask you about the McBride McBride madness. If
- 26:57Speaker 1: you will, I'll put that name on it and coin
- 26:59Speaker 1: it from this week I think a lot. The funny
- 27:01Speaker 1: thing is there's no there's not even Michael Wilson on
- 27:04Speaker 1: this line up. Obviously he could have been plugged in
- 27:05Speaker 1: and just left the money on the table for Smith
- 27:07Speaker 1: for example, but we don't do that here. I'm just saying,
- 27:10Speaker 1: what's the thought process on a week where you have
- 27:12Speaker 1: the onesie position with a guy like Trey McBride, who
- 27:15Speaker 1: was kind of the talking point of every show, every podcast,
- 27:19Speaker 1: every breakdown because it was important to figure that out.
- 27:22Speaker 1: He was sixty eight hundred, still too cheap, great matchup,
- 27:26Speaker 1: you could play two tight ends, et cetera, et cetera.
- 27:28Speaker 1: What is your thoughts about handling that, especially for those
- 27:30Speaker 1: that have less lineups to play with, Like, that's important right.
- 27:36Speaker 2: So to me, and I think it was something you
- 27:38Speaker 2: guys probably talked about throughout the week over at ship
- 27:42Speaker 2: that like McBride, it was is still just fundamentally underpriced
- 27:47Speaker 2: for his role, Like going going back to a week five,
- 27:50Speaker 2: Week six, you know, whenever Brissette took over. Like, he's
- 27:54Speaker 2: third in points per game only behind CMC and Jonathan Taylor.
- 28:00Speaker 2: And those are guys that cost ten thousand dollars. And
- 28:04Speaker 2: McBride is again in a onesie position at sixty eight hundred.
- 28:08Speaker 2: It's his highest price of the season. But if you're
- 28:11Speaker 2: comparing him to other players who have put up thirty
- 28:14Speaker 2: plus points whatever it is, three times in the last
- 28:17Speaker 2: five or six weeks, all of those guys cost eight thousand,
- 28:22Speaker 2: nine thousand.
- 28:23Speaker 4: You know what I mean.
- 28:24Speaker 2: Like I mean, I guess George Pickens was only seven thousand,
- 28:26Speaker 2: but like to me, those were two of the most
- 28:29Speaker 2: underpriced guys on the slate. So to me, it's you
- 28:32Speaker 2: don't have to be different everywhere and you can just
- 28:35Speaker 2: jam in what are the best plays. For example, I
- 28:39Speaker 2: wasn't a guy I was huge on, but you know,
- 28:41Speaker 2: at his price, Emmanuel Wilson offered a lot of value
- 28:45Speaker 2: at fifty three hundred, I think I just quickly want
- 28:49Speaker 2: to hit on the Jamison Williams thing. I think that
- 28:52Speaker 2: if you're playing a little a few more lineups than
- 28:54Speaker 2: let's say sub ten, even if it's twenty or thirty,
- 28:58Speaker 2: even if it's less, I was a big proponent of
- 29:01Speaker 2: accounting for the Lions on every roster on yesterday, and
- 29:07Speaker 2: so that means that in my portfolio of rosters, I'm
- 29:11Speaker 2: going to have some duds because I'm going to play
- 29:14Speaker 2: some Jamison Williams and he got me nothing. But you
- 29:16Speaker 2: know what, like I'm not trying to win. I mean
- 29:19Speaker 2: I am, but I'm not trying to win on every
- 29:21Speaker 2: single roster. I'm looking at it as my portfolio and saying, Okay,
- 29:26Speaker 2: if it's not Jamison Williams, it means it's probably Gibbs,
- 29:29Speaker 2: or it's probably Aman Ross Saint Brown, and I'm going
- 29:32Speaker 2: to have a good exposure to them across my portfolio.
- 29:35Speaker 2: If I have one hundred and fifty or three hundred,
- 29:37Speaker 2: that exposure is obviously a lot larger. But I'm okay
- 29:40Speaker 2: with being wrong on Jamison Williams because it just means
- 29:43Speaker 2: on the other rosters, I'm probably right because for me,
- 29:46Speaker 2: I just didn't see a spot here with Samuel Porta
- 29:50Speaker 2: out with even more consolidated offense. You know, for Detroit,
- 29:54Speaker 2: a team I thought was gonna score four or five touchdowns,
- 29:57Speaker 2: They're likely coming through three players, four players max. So
- 30:02Speaker 2: I'm just gonna be willing to play them play at
- 30:04Speaker 2: least one lion on every roster, and on some rosters,
- 30:08Speaker 2: I'm gonna take a zero. I didn't think i'd take
- 30:10Speaker 2: a zero. I thought to be small from one of
- 30:12Speaker 2: these guys wasn't going to get there. To me, you
- 30:15Speaker 2: can't look at it and say, hey, that's bad process.
- 30:17Speaker 2: Like to me, that's good process that you're getting on
- 30:20Speaker 2: your identifying the right spots. You're being directionally accurate. To me,
- 30:24Speaker 2: some of the hardest things in DFS is trying to
- 30:26Speaker 2: identify where the touchdowns are going to go. No one
- 30:29Speaker 2: freaking knows like you don't. It's easy to say, hey,
- 30:32Speaker 2: Detroit's gonna score a lot of points, and if you're
- 30:34Speaker 2: playing a bunch of lineups, hey, I'm going.
- 30:36Speaker 4: To mix different combinations of what makes sense there. That's
- 30:40Speaker 4: why it's so hard.
- 30:40Speaker 2: It's easy to kind of say, hey, this is where
- 30:43Speaker 2: the points are likeliest to go, and you can look
- 30:47Speaker 2: at that even just by high level.
- 30:49Speaker 4: Of saying team totals.
- 30:50Speaker 2: That's not always the right way to go, but yeah,
- 30:53Speaker 2: you take a look at yesterday. You know the Ravens
- 30:55Speaker 2: had a really high team total as well. No Bateman
- 30:58Speaker 2: there like that's a really concentrated offense too. I didn't
- 31:02Speaker 2: do this, but you could easily make a rule of saying, hey,
- 31:04Speaker 2: I'm gonna play one of Lamar or Derrick Henry because
- 31:08Speaker 2: they're like, we're gonna score four or five touchdowns as well,
- 31:12Speaker 2: and I'm gonna account for that offense as well. To me,
- 31:16Speaker 2: that's how I personally like to play. I go for
- 31:18Speaker 2: the smaller player pool and I just try to be
- 31:20Speaker 2: directionally accurate and hoping that I get the guys with
- 31:25Speaker 2: the touchdowns.
- 31:27Speaker 4: Yeah, you hit for me.
- 31:28Speaker 2: Slayton in this game, or Theo Johnson would have been
- 31:32Speaker 2: great to have Wandale, but again, I don't play one
- 31:34Speaker 2: hundred two hundred lineups.
- 31:36Speaker 4: I can't have I can't cover every angle every week.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Yeah, and like you said so, actually THEO ended up
- 31:41Speaker 1: in a bunch of these two is another piece that
- 31:43Speaker 1: could make things work. If you had Jamis Wandale, THEO
- 31:46Speaker 1: with Gibbs and a Manra you kind of just fell
- 31:48Speaker 1: into it if you kept playing the chalk after that.
- 31:50Speaker 1: That's the other thing is a lot of people will
- 31:52Speaker 1: move off of it. But you hit on something really
- 31:54Speaker 1: key there and funny enough, it was a Detroit Slate
- 31:56Speaker 1: last year, and this was one of the videos. Speaking
- 31:58Speaker 1: of Mastermind one year anniversary, talked about that I did
- 32:01Speaker 1: this video. I came in third in the Big two
- 32:04Speaker 1: twenty two Blitz last year, and I only had five
- 32:06Speaker 1: to six lineups. I ended up having six by the
- 32:09Speaker 1: end of it, and you can watch me break down
- 32:10Speaker 1: every single one of them. And guess what I called it?
- 32:13Speaker 1: Portfolio management. I later coined the term portfolio manipulation, and
- 32:17Speaker 1: I said, it's kind of like cheating for yourself. It's
- 32:20Speaker 1: your portfolio. You can put whatever you want. You could
- 32:23Speaker 1: be cheating yourself into a zero if you are focusing
- 32:26Speaker 1: on the Detroit Lions and they don't have the game
- 32:28Speaker 1: that you want. But what I did is I have
- 32:30Speaker 1: every lineup has at least Gibbs, one has goff A,
- 32:33Speaker 1: Monroe Laporta. That's the one that ended up winning the
- 32:35Speaker 1: forty k. And basically it's just how I would manage
- 32:38Speaker 1: the portfolio of what I'm playing. And I'm saying, look,
- 32:41Speaker 1: Detroit's gonna score forty points today. This is what I'm
- 32:44Speaker 1: aiming towards. It shows how I broke it all down,
- 32:47Speaker 1: how I was late swap ready, and it mainly talks
- 32:49Speaker 1: about what people say. It's the way to set up
- 32:51Speaker 1: your lineups to have similar spots covered in different lineups
- 32:55Speaker 1: to help avoid saying I had all the right pieces
- 32:58Speaker 1: but in all the wrong places. That's because you stop,
- 33:01Speaker 1: you get Gibbs. So I had Gibbs. How many lines
- 33:03Speaker 1: do you have been? Well? Two of my five?
- 33:05Speaker 4: Okay? Good?
- 33:06Speaker 1: And who are the quarterbacks? Terrible quarterback and terrible quarterback?
- 33:09Speaker 1: That's no problem. At least you landed on Gibbs. But
- 33:11Speaker 1: you only had two lineups to get there in and
- 33:13Speaker 1: that's the end of that story. And if it hadn't
- 33:15Speaker 1: been Gibbs, did you have Montgomery lineups? Well, no, it
- 33:20Speaker 1: doesn't matter because Gibbs got there anyway. He crushed. Okay,
- 33:22Speaker 1: but did you have golf lineups? No, definitely not. I
- 33:25Speaker 1: played Gibbs. Okay, So Gibbs did crush yesterday, and you
- 33:29Speaker 1: were correct on a fifty eight point guy at thirty
- 33:31Speaker 1: percent or thirty five. It doesn't matter his ownership, I
- 33:33Speaker 1: guess to say it, though, what happens when he has
- 33:36Speaker 1: the bad day? You say, well, I had Gibbs because
- 33:39Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna crush and they were going
- 33:40Speaker 1: to score forty points, but then they do score forty points.
- 33:43Speaker 1: And you didn't need Gibbs in this example. And you
- 33:47Speaker 1: didn't have any golf, you didn't have any Laporter, you
- 33:50Speaker 1: didn't not yesterday he's injured, but you didn't have any
- 33:52Speaker 1: a Manra, you didn't have any Williams, you didn't have
- 33:54Speaker 1: any Montgomerys. You should be covering yourself because I loved
- 33:57Speaker 1: how Billy said that he's not gonna be what he
- 34:00Speaker 1: he's like. He's not gonna be able to win with
- 34:01Speaker 1: every lineup. He builds every lineup with the capability of winning.
- 34:05Speaker 1: But they're springboarding off of each other almost in a
- 34:08Speaker 1: way where if this one doesn't win, that might clear
- 34:11Speaker 1: the way for these two over here now that are
- 34:14Speaker 1: really in good shape. Those become my rooting interest. Okay,
- 34:17Speaker 1: now so and so gets injured, Well slide that one
- 34:20Speaker 1: under the rug. This is the go to piece, and
- 34:22Speaker 1: that's what's fun about Thanksgiving and so. Probably a good segue,
- 34:25Speaker 1: but we're gonna get to that in a second. Anything else, Billy,
- 34:27Speaker 1: you want to add on that. I just thought that
- 34:28Speaker 1: was a good way to get into it, because I
- 34:30Speaker 1: think it's important to remember this type of stuff before
- 34:32Speaker 1: we go to the Thanksgiving preview.
- 34:34Speaker 2: No, man, I think you laid it out well. You know,
- 34:37Speaker 2: I think a lot of sites, including ship It, you
- 34:40Speaker 2: guys do a great job of like talking through like
- 34:43Speaker 2: bank roll management for a whole season to me. Or
- 34:46Speaker 2: you're also looking at on as a weekly basis as well, Okay, hey,
- 34:50Speaker 2: I've got one hundred dollars, one thousand dollars whatever your
- 34:53Speaker 2: stakes is for that week, and think about yourself as
- 34:56Speaker 2: you know, an investment, you know, guy who does investments.
- 35:00Speaker 2: I'm laying out my portfolio and it's really a risk.
- 35:04Speaker 2: You know, how risky are you willing to be? You know,
- 35:07Speaker 2: if you're have super conviction your kay to lose everything,
- 35:11Speaker 2: sure you could go one hundred percent Gibs in this
- 35:14Speaker 2: example that that's not me. I feel like it's very
- 35:18Speaker 2: hard to identify where the touchdowns are going to flow.
- 35:22Speaker 4: I think we can.
- 35:22Speaker 2: All do a better job of saying, hey, we really
- 35:24Speaker 2: like Detroit this week, And Tambeau, you laid a great
- 35:28Speaker 2: grated out there.
- 35:29Speaker 4: Yeah, it's probably.
- 35:30Speaker 2: Gonna be one of three or four guys. Well, if
- 35:32Speaker 2: it's not Gibbs, and Gibbs isn't benefiting, who is benefiting?
- 35:36Speaker 2: So to me, it's like looking at each lineup individually.
- 35:39Speaker 2: It's easier to do because I don't play three hundred
- 35:42Speaker 2: or two hundred lineups where I'm basically saying, Okay, on
- 35:46Speaker 2: this lineup, I'm kind of betting on Gibbs. But if
- 35:48Speaker 2: that's wrong on the on the next lineup, I'm gonna
- 35:51Speaker 2: look at it maybe being Montgomery, or maybe it's a'man
- 35:54Speaker 2: Ross and Brown and Jamison and Golf and maybe this
- 35:56Speaker 2: is a four passing touchdown game, and both of those
- 36:00Speaker 2: lineups can't win because it's not gonna be gives four
- 36:04Speaker 2: touchdowns and goth four touchdowns passing, Like, it's not gonna
- 36:08Speaker 2: be both winning.
- 36:10Speaker 4: It's likely one or the other.
- 36:12Speaker 2: And you've got to be willing to say, Okay, I'm
- 36:14Speaker 2: not trying.
- 36:15Speaker 4: I mean, you're trying to win on every lineup, but
- 36:17Speaker 4: that's not realistic.
- 36:18Speaker 2: You're just trying to set yourself up for what's the
- 36:20Speaker 2: clearest path to first place when things break the way
- 36:25Speaker 2: that they do, as the slight kind of unfolds.
- 36:28Speaker 1: Yeah, and too many people will set it up where
- 36:30Speaker 1: they build their first lineup they feel really comfortable with,
- 36:33Speaker 1: but they don't do that with their follow up line
- 36:35Speaker 1: like they don't even consider what's in the lineup because
- 36:37Speaker 1: the reason the lineup number one was built was because
- 36:40Speaker 1: of the Detroit thirty point plus thing. But then in
- 36:42Speaker 1: lineup number two they're onto a totally different game. Just
- 36:44Speaker 1: got to cover angles and the fear of missing out.
- 36:46Speaker 1: If you have limited lineups, you should have more opportunity
- 36:50Speaker 1: to review and build it that way. Obviously, if you
- 36:52Speaker 1: build one fifty tools like sabers in which we have
- 36:55Speaker 1: up where you can put a portfolio build together quite
- 36:57Speaker 1: easily and bounce the things off of each other automatically,
- 37:00Speaker 1: that's nice too. But your inputs are your outputs. The
- 37:03Speaker 1: same goes in your handbuilding a one to five backs
- 37:05Speaker 1: where you're saying, I'm gonna do this, then I'm going
- 37:08Speaker 1: to adjust for this, or I'm gonna add this into
- 37:10Speaker 1: the next line. You need to be thinking about everything
- 37:12Speaker 1: as a whole and not just each lineup as its
- 37:14Speaker 1: own where you're like, oh, well, then I'll just move
- 37:16Speaker 1: to another game. Did the Detroit game just disappear from
- 37:19Speaker 1: your mind all of a sudden and they're not gonna
- 37:21Speaker 1: put up points anymore? What story are you telling from
- 37:23Speaker 1: that perspective? So nads, I know, you got up the
- 37:27Speaker 1: Thanksgiving slate here? What sort of your feel on I
- 37:30Speaker 1: know Billy's excited for this, and we're gonna let him
- 37:32Speaker 1: chat here again on in the second, but before we
- 37:34Speaker 1: get into looking at the positions and the pricing and
- 37:36Speaker 1: everything there needs, what's sort of your feel when it
- 37:38Speaker 1: comes to the Thanksgiving slate, the staggered start, Any strategy thoughts,
- 37:42Speaker 1: any ideas you've got before we hop in?
- 37:45Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think it's pretty similar to last year, right,
- 37:49Speaker 3: is we have a big tonal in green Bay and
- 37:52Speaker 3: Detroit in indoors, Right, that was kind of the game
- 37:54Speaker 3: you needed last year at least to kick it off.
- 37:56Speaker 3: And then we got a bigger spread late night with
- 37:58Speaker 3: the Bengals headed into Baltimore or but Joe Burrow it
- 38:01Speaker 3: seems to be back, right, I think that's the talks
- 38:04Speaker 3: is Joe Burrow is gonna play in that game. That's
- 38:07Speaker 3: a fifty one and a half total, right, So you
- 38:09Speaker 3: got forty eight and a half total in green Bay.
- 38:11Speaker 3: In Detroit you got a fifty one and a half
- 38:13Speaker 3: total late night with the Bengals and the Ravens.
- 38:16Speaker 4: But that's a bigger spread, right, seven point spread.
- 38:18Speaker 3: And then you got the Chiefs right coming off the
- 38:21Speaker 3: loss in Dallas, right in a dome, right, So you
- 38:24Speaker 3: have two games in a dome to kick off the slate,
- 38:28Speaker 3: and then you got the big spread late right where
- 38:30Speaker 3: people are gonna probably want to go back to Derrick
- 38:33Speaker 3: Henry right, surprise, surprise, Derrick Henry, Mark Andrews are probably
- 38:37Speaker 3: gonna be pretty similar or pretty high on because that's
- 38:40Speaker 3: just what happened this past Sunday. It's a short week, right,
- 38:44Speaker 3: I think it's a much lazier slate than normal because
- 38:47Speaker 3: of all the family stuff going on, right, so there's
- 38:50Speaker 3: a lot more group think that goes into a slate
- 38:52Speaker 3: like this. So I think Derrick Henry, Mark Andrews are
- 38:54Speaker 3: gonna kind of lead the lead to charge a lot
- 38:56Speaker 3: because of that. Not only are they playing the Bengals,
- 38:59Speaker 3: but they're also the seven point favorites at home right
- 39:03Speaker 3: late night to round up the slate, whereas people are
- 39:05Speaker 3: going to attack the passing games more from the first
- 39:08Speaker 3: two games.
- 39:08Speaker 4: In my opinion, it's.
- 39:09Speaker 3: Kind of broad slate over her there, but I think
- 39:11Speaker 3: there's some really interesting especially quarterback prices. I mean Jordan
- 39:15Speaker 3: Love and Jared Goff at fifty eight hundred and fifty
- 39:17Speaker 3: five hundred in a dome in in what should be
- 39:21Speaker 3: a back and forth game. I think are pretty interesting
- 39:24Speaker 3: in general. But no, looking looks like a pretty pretty
- 39:27Speaker 3: fun slate in general.
- 39:28Speaker 1: Yeah, Bill over to you, go ahead and just talk
- 39:31Speaker 1: a little bit about the the overview of it. And obviously,
- 39:34Speaker 1: like I said, we did our whole course together over
- 39:35Speaker 1: at Mastermind, but we're going to talk through some of
- 39:37Speaker 1: that stuff here too, like just sort of how you
- 39:39Speaker 1: see it. I know, the staggered start is a bigger
- 39:41Speaker 1: thing for you, and then kind of you know, the conversation.
- 39:44Speaker 1: I'm going to repost it again probably today or tomorrow
- 39:46Speaker 1: for this week of you're just your quoted statement of
- 39:49Speaker 1: like going and pick your lane, find your lane, go
- 39:51Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour and stick with it, and
- 39:53Speaker 1: we talk about it. Sometimes you run into a brick
- 39:55Speaker 1: wall and lose all your money, but if you do
- 39:57Speaker 1: hit the autobahn and take off, you can really get
- 40:00Speaker 1: out and ahead of everybody, and that's what can lead
- 40:02Speaker 1: you to the ultimate Grand prize. So just talk a
- 40:05Speaker 1: little bit about the shorter slates, and specifically this one
- 40:08Speaker 1: with the staggert start strategy.
- 40:09Speaker 2: Wise, Yeah, I mean, for me, like and maybe it's
- 40:13Speaker 2: more of a mantra of just kind of one week
- 40:16Speaker 2: season in general, like you know, we're we're trying to
- 40:19Speaker 2: win every week. That's not what I'm saying, but generally,
- 40:22Speaker 2: you know, for those of you who have played daily
- 40:24Speaker 2: Fantasy for a long time, you know that one week
- 40:27Speaker 2: can truly make a season.
- 40:30Speaker 4: You know, if you if you.
- 40:31Speaker 2: Ship a contest like Tambo did last night, like that
- 40:35Speaker 2: pays for all of your losses all throughout the year.
- 40:39Speaker 2: So to me, you know, that's that's just the mentality
- 40:41Speaker 2: I think that you have to have. You're it's okay
- 40:44Speaker 2: if you're, you have to be willing to lose most
- 40:46Speaker 2: weeks to truly be willing to win. And I don't
- 40:50Speaker 2: think people really know what it means to be truly
- 40:52Speaker 2: willing to lose. But we don't need to get too
- 40:55Speaker 2: much into the weeds on that. But yeah, I mean
- 40:57Speaker 2: short slate like this, I mean, I guess I'll kind
- 41:00Speaker 2: of piggyback on Austin just kind of high level like
- 41:03Speaker 2: what I like about it, And again, like Pricing just
- 41:05Speaker 2: came out this morning, so I haven't done a real
- 41:07Speaker 2: deep dive into it, but what I like about it
- 41:10Speaker 2: is we've got three, in my opinion, great games there.
- 41:14Speaker 2: You know, there are no Raiders or Browns, no bends
- 41:17Speaker 2: to them on this late Like we've got three high totals,
- 41:22Speaker 2: and you know, I think that they've all got like
- 41:25Speaker 2: a wide range of outcomes here where I don't think
- 41:27Speaker 2: I'm going to be surprised if any of the games
- 41:30Speaker 2: is the highest scoring game. You know, I think the
- 41:33Speaker 2: lowest is that is that Lions game at forty eight
- 41:35Speaker 2: point five in Kansas City's at fifty two point five. Like,
- 41:40Speaker 2: any of those games could be the game you had
- 41:42Speaker 2: to have, or it could be that they all play
- 41:44Speaker 2: out to twenty seven to twenty four games and.
- 41:47Speaker 4: You need pieces from all of them.
- 41:49Speaker 2: So to me, there's a lot of different strategy approaches
- 41:52Speaker 2: that you can take to it. And you know, that's
- 41:54Speaker 2: some of the things that I that I lay out
- 41:56Speaker 2: in our Mastermind course that I kind of put behind
- 41:59Speaker 2: the paywall.
- 41:59Speaker 4: One week season is just kind of.
- 42:01Speaker 2: Thinking through as you're building your roster, what does what
- 42:05Speaker 2: does that mean for the rest of the slate, Like,
- 42:07Speaker 2: how are you constructing that roster, how does that how
- 42:10Speaker 2: does that play out for the rest of that you know,
- 42:12Speaker 2: the rest of that slate. You know, if we look
- 42:15Speaker 2: at one of the games, just for example, let's look
- 42:17Speaker 2: at Kansas City Dallas, that's the highest you know, that's
- 42:20Speaker 2: the highest total on the slate. If that plays out
- 42:23Speaker 2: to a thirty five thirty one game, you know, and
- 42:26Speaker 2: there's eight or nine touchdowns in that game, like, and
- 42:31Speaker 2: that's probably going to be how most people are going
- 42:33Speaker 2: to build that game is to be a high scoring
- 42:36Speaker 2: passing type of affair. If it ends up being eight
- 42:40Speaker 2: or nine touchdowns total, you're likely going to have to
- 42:43Speaker 2: have Patrick Mahomes or Dak Prescott in your line because
- 42:48Speaker 2: pricing is again so loose at quarterback, like I think
- 42:52Speaker 2: Lamar is the highest at sixty eight, and then the
- 42:56Speaker 2: lowest is like Jordan Love at fifty five. Like there's
- 42:58Speaker 2: no real savings, Like you have to probably have the
- 43:01Speaker 2: highest scoring quarterback. Whereas as when we looked at main
- 43:05Speaker 2: slate for yesterday, I don't know if Jameis Winston was
- 43:09Speaker 2: the highest scoring. He may have actually been, but a
- 43:13Speaker 2: lot of times it's just that pay down guy that
- 43:16Speaker 2: allows you to get some of those other pay up guys.
- 43:19Speaker 4: That's unlikely to be the.
- 43:20Speaker 2: Case on this late because you're not really getting a
- 43:23Speaker 2: whole lot of savings with Jordan Love off of like
- 43:26Speaker 2: Mahomes or Prescott. You know, you're you're saving eight hundred bucks,
- 43:29Speaker 2: it's probably not going to be you don't need that.
- 43:33Speaker 2: Like pricing is so loose this week, and DraftKings does
- 43:36Speaker 2: that a lot on you know, week one Thanksgiving, where
- 43:39Speaker 2: casual players are are more abundant because people don't want
- 43:43Speaker 2: to be having to shove Luther Burden into their lineup
- 43:46Speaker 2: to make that last that. They want guys that they
- 43:49Speaker 2: know that you know, familiarity with their name, and so
- 43:52Speaker 2: you see a lot of the you know, the looser
- 43:54Speaker 2: pricing on slates like Thanksgiving.
- 43:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a couple of things there that stood.
- 43:58Speaker 1: One would be for certain, there is a five dollars
- 44:01Speaker 1: million maker on DraftKings, so the pricing is about the
- 44:04Speaker 1: softest you could ever see it be because they have
- 44:06Speaker 1: to fill up a six hundred thousand person tournament. That's
- 44:09Speaker 1: a tangent for another day. But you're good for them, congrats, like,
- 44:12Speaker 1: awesome tournament, Thank you so much. But you know, if
- 44:15Speaker 1: you don't like that, go play in the five thousand
- 44:17Speaker 1: dollars million maker. Basically just absolute disgrace. But either way
- 44:20Speaker 1: I digress. The other thing you said too, is like
- 44:23Speaker 1: when you set it up, so I guess this is
- 44:24Speaker 1: the other thing and I get it. Like at the
- 44:26Speaker 1: end of the day, you set your lineups up so
- 44:28Speaker 1: you will have something saved in your CSV or in
- 44:31Speaker 1: your again, a CSV could be people take that as
- 44:33Speaker 1: one fifty. You could have a CSV it has two
- 44:35Speaker 1: single entry lineups in it. My point being your lineups
- 44:37Speaker 1: are already set in stone, as like I want to
- 44:39Speaker 1: play this, but the way it really works without going
- 44:43Speaker 1: to into the weeds and like you say, stuff that
- 44:44Speaker 1: we sort of went through behind the scenes. It's not
- 44:46Speaker 1: that it's the secrets as much as kind of like
- 44:48Speaker 1: it's just it's in depth. If you're trying to take
- 44:50Speaker 1: your game to a different level and figure it all out,
- 44:52Speaker 1: the concepts are greater because it's like you're really worried
- 44:55Speaker 1: about green Bay and Detroit. They are game one. You
- 44:58Speaker 1: are going to get the puzz that one third of
- 45:02Speaker 1: the puzzle breakdown. I always tease that, like, you know,
- 45:04Speaker 1: DFS is a puzzle. You don't have the full pitcher
- 45:07Speaker 1: in front of you. Though we all get the same pieces,
- 45:09Speaker 1: we all play the same game, but it's whoever builds
- 45:11Speaker 1: it the fastest and most correct, because you've got to
- 45:13Speaker 1: get it in before lock et cetera, et cetera. In
- 45:16Speaker 1: this case, you do get the puzzle the first third
- 45:19Speaker 1: of it after game one, and you kind of know
- 45:20Speaker 1: what that means. So if Gibbs is Chalk, let's say,
- 45:24Speaker 1: and goes off in game one and you have lineups
- 45:26Speaker 1: with Gibbs, well, those are great. They're off to a
- 45:28Speaker 1: hot start. Now you get to see, do I want
- 45:30Speaker 1: to have those filled out with Kansas City and Dallas stacks?
- 45:34Speaker 1: Do I want to mix a boat? Do I want
- 45:35Speaker 1: some Cincy Baltimore? Maybe all of the above, And if
- 45:38Speaker 1: you have enough lineups you can do all the above.
- 45:40Speaker 1: But on the same note, you could say, wow, a
- 45:43Speaker 1: running back at Chalk that was expensive busted? Where can
- 45:49Speaker 1: I make that up in these next two games. If
- 45:51Speaker 1: you've already got lineups with Gibbs in it, well you
- 45:53Speaker 1: need to get different for the other two games. If
- 45:56Speaker 1: you don't have Gibbs, you're thinking about, Wow, these Gibbs
- 45:59Speaker 1: lineups that I can really crush. What's the best way
- 46:02Speaker 1: to punish them for the mistake? And the play that
- 46:05Speaker 1: ended up being a mistake as part of their process
- 46:08Speaker 1: in playing them, which you probably played them too, so
- 46:10Speaker 1: it's like that's where you have more information and you
- 46:13Speaker 1: just don't get that a lot, right, Like people don't
- 46:16Speaker 1: realize that a lot of these peer to peer games,
- 46:18Speaker 1: it's not often you get to know everything that happened
- 46:21Speaker 1: ahead of time to be able to adjust on the fly.
- 46:23Speaker 1: And that's why the strategy for the staggered start is
- 46:26Speaker 1: so important. So we'll go back to Billy just on that.
- 46:30Speaker 1: Anything else you want to add on the staggered start stuff,
- 46:32Speaker 1: the late swap of it, or are you good just
- 46:35Speaker 1: sort of chatting through these games and some of the
- 46:36Speaker 1: stuff that we can see early on. I know, like
- 46:38Speaker 1: I said, no deep dive yet, but it's meant to
- 46:40Speaker 1: be a first look and how you think people are
- 46:42Speaker 1: going to attack this slate and maybe how we can
- 46:44Speaker 1: take things and find our lane and move it to
- 46:46Speaker 1: our advantage.
- 46:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm happy to give just kind of
- 46:50Speaker 2: like a ten thousand foot view of of what my
- 46:54Speaker 2: short short slate strategy is. So I think high level
- 47:00Speaker 2: my approach is that I want to play more lineups
- 47:03Speaker 2: than I would on a normal main slate. That doesn't
- 47:06Speaker 2: mean that I'm going to play more money. You know,
- 47:09Speaker 2: I'm normally a single entry three max five max guy
- 47:12Speaker 2: where I'll play one hundred dollars single untry, fifty dollars
- 47:15Speaker 2: single entry, So you know, maybe I'll have a couple
- 47:17Speaker 2: hundred bucks in each week, you know, each week on
- 47:20Speaker 2: this late I may look to play if they put
- 47:24Speaker 2: out like a three dollars or a five dollars type
- 47:26Speaker 2: of contest, or even if it's I have no idea
- 47:29Speaker 2: what they've got right now, they've only got two contests
- 47:31Speaker 2: really released, and it's a five dollars and a forty
- 47:35Speaker 2: four to forty four. When they release more contests, Like,
- 47:38Speaker 2: to me, this is a week where I would probably
- 47:40Speaker 2: go with one hundred or one hundred and fifty lineups. However,
- 47:45Speaker 2: the approach that I take is I don't build let's
- 47:48Speaker 2: say I'm going to go one hundred and fifty lineups,
- 47:50Speaker 2: I don't build one hundred and fifty unique lineups.
- 47:53Speaker 4: The approach that I take is.
- 47:54Speaker 2: I would build fifty unique builds, and I would duplicate
- 48:00Speaker 2: them so I would run clones. So instead of one
- 48:04Speaker 2: hundred and fifty unique, I would take fifty lineups and
- 48:07Speaker 2: I'd enter them each three times for that total of
- 48:11Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty. And how I like to approach
- 48:14Speaker 2: it is I I will go and build those fifty
- 48:20Speaker 2: only focused on the very first game. Obviously, you can't
- 48:25Speaker 2: submit a roster that doesn't have a full lineup of pieces,
- 48:28Speaker 2: so I'm more or less putting in dummy pieces, but
- 48:32Speaker 2: I'll only focused on the very first game. And I'm saying, okay, well,
- 48:35Speaker 2: let's say it plays out to a shootout. What does
- 48:38Speaker 2: a shootout look like? And I'll build ten rosters around
- 48:41Speaker 2: a shootout? What if it's you know, what if it's
- 48:45Speaker 2: really low scoring? What could really low scoring? And if
- 48:47Speaker 2: you guys play showdowns? You know how this kind of
- 48:50Speaker 2: approach is. That's how you how I think you should
- 48:53Speaker 2: think about every roster that you're building is okay, just
- 48:57Speaker 2: specific to this first game, but you know, I'm gonna
- 49:01Speaker 2: build it a couple of different ways. And your goal
- 49:04Speaker 2: is to try to nail what could be because you
- 49:06Speaker 2: won't know what the puzzle looks like until all three
- 49:09Speaker 2: games are finished. But what could be the nuts on
- 49:13Speaker 2: this first game? You're just trying to build different scenarios
- 49:16Speaker 2: of that. So after the first game, after you've got
- 49:20Speaker 2: that puzzle, you know, unveiled of what that likely looks like.
- 49:24Speaker 2: I then generally just say, okay, maybe forty of the
- 49:30Speaker 2: fifty lineups that I've built are probably dead for first place.
- 49:37Speaker 2: I'm only looking to try to get first place in
- 49:39Speaker 2: these contests, So to me, I may build fifty of
- 49:42Speaker 2: these lineups and they'll be clones. I may build fifty
- 49:47Speaker 2: of these lineups and more or less discard. This is
- 49:51Speaker 2: not an approach for the faint of heart. I may
- 49:53Speaker 2: discard forty of the fifty after the first game and say, yes,
- 49:58Speaker 2: if I have time, I'll go and try to make
- 50:00Speaker 2: some adjustments to try to get these two min cash.
- 50:04Speaker 2: But they're dead for the top of the leader board,
- 50:06Speaker 2: just based on how the first game played out. Because
- 50:09Speaker 2: what again, I'm rambling here, But what makes a three
- 50:12Speaker 2: games slate more difficult than on eleven games slate, for example,
- 50:16Speaker 2: is there's not as many pivots.
- 50:18Speaker 3: Like you.
- 50:19Speaker 2: In a big contest with six hundred thousand people, you're
- 50:22Speaker 2: probably gonna have to get the complete nuts to win
- 50:26Speaker 2: because there's only so many combinations. So I'll look at
- 50:30Speaker 2: it and say, okay, maybe I've got ten lineups that
- 50:33Speaker 2: played to the game being a shootout and it ended
- 50:37Speaker 2: up being, you know, a thirty five thirty one score
- 50:40Speaker 2: with the Packers and the Lions. I'll then go through
- 50:42Speaker 2: each of those ten lineups that I have, and because
- 50:46Speaker 2: I have clones of them, I have different kind of
- 50:49Speaker 2: tributaries of how I can build out the next game.
- 50:53Speaker 2: Does that all make sense to you guys?
- 50:55Speaker 4: Following that? Am I explaining this? Well?
- 50:57Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm just trying to build each lineup as
- 50:59Speaker 2: I get more information, and I'm willing to discard more
- 51:04Speaker 2: or less the ones that I know are wrong because
- 51:06Speaker 2: I'm only trying to get to the top and you're
- 51:11Speaker 2: trying to just give yourself a lot of different outs. Okay, hey,
- 51:13Speaker 2: I've nailed.
- 51:15Speaker 4: I nailed the.
- 51:15Speaker 2: First game, but I only have one roster. Well, it's
- 51:18Speaker 2: still really hard to try to get the next two
- 51:20Speaker 2: pieces right. But if you give yourself clones, you've now
- 51:23Speaker 2: got multiple attempts to try to play out the second
- 51:27Speaker 2: and the third game, of different scenarios of how those
- 51:30Speaker 2: could play out. So that's how I like to approach it,
- 51:33Speaker 2: is kind of with a clone approach, and I think
- 51:35Speaker 2: I think we can leave it there as just kind
- 51:37Speaker 2: of high level.
- 51:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say this, like just to sort of summarize too,
- 51:40Speaker 1: because you said it earlier. You said, you know, you
- 51:42Speaker 1: didn't want to sort of elaborate on what truly willing
- 51:45Speaker 1: to lose was, and I know it's actually meant in
- 51:47Speaker 1: the you know, I know exactly what you mean, but
- 51:48Speaker 1: I'm saying you can also apply it to this theory
- 51:51Speaker 1: of like you said, you're literally willing to discard those
- 51:53Speaker 1: because you are playing for you are looking how many
- 51:55Speaker 1: of these could possibly win. First, if it is down
- 51:57Speaker 1: to eight to ten, well then let me folk on
- 52:00Speaker 1: those eight to ten, put myself in the best position
- 52:02Speaker 1: on those, and if I have time, I'll go back
- 52:05Speaker 1: and edit them. And then from the clone perspective, just
- 52:06Speaker 1: in case it wasn't for everybody or not fully understanding it,
- 52:09Speaker 1: just a numbers breakdown is let's say you have fifty
- 52:12Speaker 1: lineups and you want to run ten with Gibbs, ten
- 52:16Speaker 1: with Montgomery. I'm shortening this obviously. You know you have
- 52:19Speaker 1: ten with Jared Goff, A Monra and Jameson Williams. You
- 52:23Speaker 1: have five with just Jared Goff and Jamison Williams. You
- 52:26Speaker 1: have ten with the Love Side of Things and ten
- 52:29Speaker 1: with Jacobs. Assuming he's back eventually you're at your fifty lineups.
- 52:32Speaker 1: I'm just you know, rambling the numbers off, but I'm
- 52:34Speaker 1: saying that he's starting them, and saying it doesn't matter
- 52:36Speaker 1: what else is in the lineup, because I'm gonna see
- 52:39Speaker 1: game one play out when the Jacobs lineups bust, and
- 52:42Speaker 1: the Montgomery lineups bust, and the Jameson Williams lineups bust
- 52:45Speaker 1: in that example, boom into the trash they go, mind wise, mindset.
- 52:49Speaker 1: Why so I get to them, my will, But I
- 52:50Speaker 1: only have X amount of time before the next game.
- 52:53Speaker 1: But look at this, my goff A Monra Brock right
- 52:56Speaker 1: lineups that I ended up with three of those, they're
- 52:59Speaker 1: all in phenomenal shape. So now I need to build
- 53:02Speaker 1: the best versions, the best three versions of those with
- 53:06Speaker 1: the two games remaining, and how you choose to do
- 53:08Speaker 1: it up to you. That's your lane. But if you say,
- 53:10Speaker 1: I definitely want one with the Hunter with us, sorry,
- 53:15Speaker 1: with Derrick Henry in it, because that's gonna make sense. Actually,
- 53:18Speaker 1: you know what, looking at these running backs, I'm gonna
- 53:19Speaker 1: put him in two of those out of the three,
- 53:21Speaker 1: because I think he's so much more likely out of
- 53:23Speaker 1: what's left on this slate to take out the Gibbs
- 53:26Speaker 1: lineups that would kind of would have fit Gibbs earlier
- 53:28Speaker 1: and they busted, let's say, because it was the passing
- 53:30Speaker 1: stack that went off. And then you go with this.
- 53:32Speaker 1: So when you can put something together like that and
- 53:35Speaker 1: understand it, it's not gonna be for everybody. I would
- 53:37Speaker 1: start smaller, right, Maybe fifty is not your jam right
- 53:40Speaker 1: out of the gates, and you start with twenty. But
- 53:42Speaker 1: you're just building four scenarios in the first game. Maybe
- 53:45Speaker 1: you leave five behind or two behind that have nothing
- 53:49Speaker 1: in them, and you say, I'm gonna play for the
- 53:50Speaker 1: first game being a bust, and it gets really spread
- 53:52Speaker 1: out because we know the Packers can spread it out.
- 53:54Speaker 1: Fellow cheez that over here are mister Nad's man. We
- 53:57Speaker 1: always get gets made fun of, but we love when
- 53:59Speaker 1: he's on the talk about it. And then you got
- 54:01Speaker 1: the Detroit side. If that spreads out, maybe you don't
- 54:04Speaker 1: even end up needing full scores from these guys. And
- 54:06Speaker 1: I'm gonna have two just in case. And guess what,
- 54:08Speaker 1: even if one or two guys go off in the
- 54:11Speaker 1: game one, then you get those two lineups to think
- 54:14Speaker 1: about who went off at what position? How am I
- 54:18Speaker 1: gonna make it up? What would be a way I
- 54:20Speaker 1: could make it up to get those points from somebody else,
- 54:23Speaker 1: even though it's if you get a fifty eight from
- 54:24Speaker 1: Gibbs again, yeah, it could be in trouble, but it
- 54:26Speaker 1: just you get more control over your lineups when you
- 54:29Speaker 1: do it that way with the staggered start, and you
- 54:31Speaker 1: don't usually get that opportunity. Nates, I'll kick it over
- 54:34Speaker 1: to you man, just to talk about it a little bit.
- 54:36Speaker 1: Anything else you want to add or stat said one
- 54:38Speaker 1: more point quick. We got a little check going on here.
- 54:41Speaker 1: Go ahead, stat chime.
- 54:41Speaker 2: In when you and then I think a big key
- 54:45Speaker 2: thing that you should consider based on the exact example
- 54:48Speaker 2: that you just gave the roster that smashes that you have,
- 54:53Speaker 2: is it a Jordan love Wis Romeo Dobbs double stack
- 54:59Speaker 2: that is complete, lely unowned and that's what's smashed and
- 55:02Speaker 2: you have it. If that's what's smashed and you have it,
- 55:06Speaker 2: just think you have now done enough that you don't
- 55:09Speaker 2: have to be super contrarian the rest of the way.
- 55:13Speaker 2: You can play what's going to be chalk and Derrick
- 55:16Speaker 2: Henry or Ceedee Lamb I don't know it's going to
- 55:18Speaker 2: be chalk racy rice, but you can play into what
- 55:21Speaker 2: is the absolute best plays, and theoretically on one of
- 55:26Speaker 2: those clones, you absolutely should play all of the chalk
- 55:30Speaker 2: in the second game to just see if that keeps
- 55:32Speaker 2: you on pace.
- 55:35Speaker 1: Yes, because your separators already came from early. Like you said,
- 55:38Speaker 1: you've already got the separators, and I talked, am.
- 55:40Speaker 2: Already got the separator where you don't have the separator
- 55:43Speaker 2: if it's you know, if it's that goth Amanroc gibbstack
- 55:47Speaker 2: like yesterday that goes off and it's super high owned.
- 55:50Speaker 2: In one of those clones, I would try to do
- 55:53Speaker 2: something a little different. In Kansas City Dallas, I'll probably
- 55:58Speaker 2: keep one of them, kind of be more of a
- 56:00Speaker 2: chalky piece. But if you're really going to win, you
- 56:04Speaker 2: can't do what's the most likely outcome in all three games,
- 56:09Speaker 2: because that's in a six hundred thousand person contest, that lineup,
- 56:13Speaker 2: if it fits salary wise, is gonna be duped hundreds
- 56:16Speaker 2: of times. So even if you win, you don't really win,
- 56:20Speaker 2: you're gonna you're gonna be splitting the price with hundreds
- 56:23Speaker 2: of people. So that's all Nate sorry, I'm sorry, Sorry
- 56:26Speaker 2: for clogging up all the space.
- 56:28Speaker 3: No you're good, Noah, you're good for sure. And basically
- 56:31Speaker 3: just it's taking the slate right and breaking it down
- 56:34Speaker 3: into a three or five max right, just because but
- 56:37Speaker 3: you have twenty or forty, thirty, fifty, whatever however many lineups, right,
- 56:41Speaker 3: So take it for the twenty twenty max.
- 56:44Speaker 4: Right.
- 56:44Speaker 3: The three dollars twenty max that I'm sure they'll post
- 56:46Speaker 3: is probably gonna be I don't know, one hundred and
- 56:49Speaker 3: some thousand people in it. And same thing with the
- 56:52Speaker 3: one dollar right, So you can play eighty dollars in
- 56:55Speaker 3: your content, eighty dollars total. But now you have forty rosters, right,
- 57:00Speaker 3: So it's not to go say you're going to play
- 57:01Speaker 3: every single quarterback in all forty. You still have to
- 57:04Speaker 3: cut down your pool, right to approach it differently. So
- 57:07Speaker 3: maybe you're running four four lineups, but you have ten
- 57:12Speaker 3: duplications of each one right to stats in Tampbla's point,
- 57:16Speaker 3: because now you have more pieces right to potentially hey,
- 57:19Speaker 3: maybe you did in one of those lineups. Get the
- 57:22Speaker 3: right pieces right, the must have its right, that have
- 57:24Speaker 3: to have it scores from the first game. Now you
- 57:26Speaker 3: can approach it with ten different avenues on how to
- 57:29Speaker 3: attack Kansas City in Dallas, and maybe love or GoF
- 57:33Speaker 3: is the thirty point thirty five point quarterback that you
- 57:36Speaker 3: have to have, right, Yeah, could these other guys match that,
- 57:40Speaker 3: But chances are if one of those guys in that
- 57:43Speaker 3: first game right and you have them scores the thirty
- 57:45Speaker 3: to thirty five at their price points with the other
- 57:48Speaker 3: high priced studs on the slate, Derrick Henry's the Rashi
- 57:50Speaker 3: rice is ceedee Lambs Pickens those guys of the world,
- 57:54Speaker 3: you're gonna that fifteen hundred dollars savings or twelve hundred
- 57:57Speaker 3: dollars savings whatever, it is down to golf and love.
- 58:00Speaker 4: Now you have more avenues than.
- 58:02Speaker 3: The rest of the field does, and the rest of
- 58:03Speaker 3: the field is just trying to catch up and min
- 58:05Speaker 3: cash right, whereas you have you have a chance to
- 58:09Speaker 3: ship the entire thing right, which you're hoping for.
- 58:11Speaker 4: So I think approaching it like this is very unique.
- 58:14Speaker 4: Not many people do it.
- 58:16Speaker 3: I was in contention all the way up until the
- 58:18Speaker 3: last game last year doing this with my twenty max stuff.
- 58:22Speaker 4: So try it out.
- 58:24Speaker 3: I think it's a good way, and that way you
- 58:26Speaker 3: can focus your time, right, everybody, we're all with family, We're.
- 58:29Speaker 4: All around the turkey dinner dinner. Right.
- 58:32Speaker 3: Whether whether you believe in Hoop side of the story
- 58:35Speaker 3: or not from yesterday, you still have a family and
- 58:39Speaker 3: you still don't want to be tied in one.
- 58:41Speaker 4: So if you have ten lineups.
- 58:42Speaker 3: Now to focus on versus fifty because the other forty
- 58:45Speaker 3: are dead right, well, now you just focus on those
- 58:48Speaker 3: ten and you just you're shooting for first place.
- 58:50Speaker 4: So I think it's a really good way to approach
- 58:52Speaker 4: the slate in general.
- 58:53Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a good point too, Like, obviously the
- 58:55Speaker 1: slate dictates that we this you see her. This is
- 58:57Speaker 1: the slate. Last year was different, if you know, I
- 59:00Speaker 1: I wanted the Joe flack Over Revenge game for this slate,
- 59:02Speaker 1: But now it looks like Joe Burrow is going to
- 59:04Speaker 1: be back instead. So we still get a Joey, but
- 59:06Speaker 1: it's going to be a Joey Burrow instead of a
- 59:08Speaker 1: Joey Flacco. But look at this, Jason says, do you
- 59:11Speaker 1: run any of these clones with zero players from the
- 59:12Speaker 1: first game. I know we kind of just touched on it,
- 59:14Speaker 1: but said, seems risky here, but it could really pay off.
- 59:17Speaker 1: If it busts. Did you want to add to that
- 59:19Speaker 1: stat just about from like a slate dynamics perspective. Obviously
- 59:22Speaker 1: in this case we know the slate, we see what
- 59:24Speaker 1: it is. But man, like a manra seventy eight Jamison,
- 59:28Speaker 1: these prices are kind of insane. So I guess like
- 59:31Speaker 1: it is tricky. But what's your thoughts on Jason's question here?
- 59:35Speaker 4: I think it's totally viable.
- 59:37Speaker 2: I think that, and leaning into the example that Austin
- 59:42Speaker 2: just gave, I think that if you are if this
- 59:44Speaker 2: is kind of outside of your comfort zone, I love
- 59:47Speaker 2: that suggestion of the three dollars twenty met Like, if
- 59:50Speaker 2: you're a typically a guy who plays five to ten lineups,
- 59:54Speaker 2: go ahead and play five to ten lineups again on
- 59:56Speaker 2: this slate and enter those two twenty maxes. You can
- 59:59Speaker 2: clone your line ups four times instead of three, and
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: now you've got forty lineups.
- 1:00:03Speaker 4: From the ten that you normally build. I love that
- 1:00:08Speaker 4: approach For.
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: Someone who doesn't who this is a little uncomfortable for,
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: I think it's a great way for you to try
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: it and not be a huge financial burden. But to
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: answer the question, I didn't catch his name, But to
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: answer the question around the first game from Jason. I
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: think that if I'm only building ten lineups in the
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: example that Austin gave and I'm cloning, if I'm only
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: building ten, I'm personally probably not completely fading a game.
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: If I'm building, if I'm building fifty to put into
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty max, I personally i'd probably run
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: one or two that's completely faded the game because of
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: how much leverage you get. If that's right, because if
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: the if the whole first game really really fades where
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: there's no one who puts up a had to have
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: it type score. I put out an article every year
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: that'll be out on one week's season. At the end,
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: we'll do a quick little promo code for how you
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: can sign up at a big discount. There, I kind
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: of lay out who who has those had to have
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: its scores in their range of outcomes. I think that's
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: one thing that a lot of people don't realize, Like
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: if we take a twenty point score, regardless of salary
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: of like, who's who could have a hat to have
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: it type score? If you throw out quarterbacks, so only
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: skill position players, there's only thirteen of those guys on
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: the entire slate of six teams, there's only you know,
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: two guys on every team that have even put up
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: twenty points more than once this season, so it's possible
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: that they don't. You get, no had to have it
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: scores out of the first game. To me, that's just
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: kind of a risk tolerance thing.
- 1:01:49Speaker 4: If you're building a bunch of lineups, I do it
- 1:01:51Speaker 4: with one or two of them for.
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: Sure, And I'm also considering the slate. So my follow
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: up to that would just be like, this is a
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: forty nine. It's actually look surprising enough. I know it's
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: the Lions, I know it's the the Packers, I get it.
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: But it's actually the lowest total on the slate. And
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean anything because the stats point, which
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: was great of it still matters. What does the individual
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: play do well? You have to think, and I know
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: there's a million different scenarios. Yesterday's an eleven gamer, this
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: is a three gamer. But just to give you an example,
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: forty eight hundred dollars, Michael Wilson had a pretty great
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: day yesterday and you didn't have to have them to
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: win the money. He ended up on the optimal shure.
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: But say there were still ways to get around it.
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: Now less options on this slate understood, but just noting
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: it is if you you got to look at it,
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: to me, like from the ceiling guys like the Gibbs,
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: the Amanras, the Jamison Williams, Like that's kind of you know,
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: maybe you could frame some of those packers in there,
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: but not enough people will own them, so it's like
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: who has the ceilings and who's actually gonna have the
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: highest ownership, And then think about those guys and then
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: it becomes a problem of a math problem of like
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: stat said, of how many lineups do you have and
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: what's your risk tolerance? Because at that point there is
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: a scenario where Jamison Williams does have that bounce back
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: game at this low price tag, but the bounce back
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: game is for like twenty points, and you're like, damn,
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: that's pretty good for forty eight hundred. If I could
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: take that right now, I would, But does it end
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: up I don't know, Like does that actually end up
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: on the winner? We don't know. Shout up to Neil Orfield.
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: I've done an interview with him over on a Mastermind
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: Exclusive Interview behind the scenes, talking his game and theory
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: and process, and he always does like the updates throughout
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: the slate of like so far what rank in? Again,
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: it's percentage based, it's a thought processing, but I love it.
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: I think a lot of DFS players do and follow
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: him for that reason. Is like just another fun add
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: on and the content that he does where it's like
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: who do you think you're gonna need? Who's like, okay,
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: now this guy, You're definitely gonna need this one. You're
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: all right. That's kind of how you can figure this
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: stuff out as you go along. There's nothing that says
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: if Jamison Williams puts up twenty that you have to have.
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: It's great score for forty eight hundred bucks and his
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: low price tag and everything on this slate. But there
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: is a ton of receivers versus If somehow Muskgrave goes
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: off in the first game for twenty five, well he's
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: a onesie position. And yes, there is other tight ends
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: on the slate and Kelsey could beat them and Ferguson
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: and you know, Andrews whatever. But that's a big thing
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: to start the slate off where Musgrave has twenty five.
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: You're looking to figure out how am I gonna make
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: that up now, you can do it. But it's just
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: noting things like that are all the kind of concepts
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: that you need to consider and why it's more to
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: the game than just picking the who of the plays right,
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: the how, the why? What does it mean? What do
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: I do next? How do I act upon it? That's
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: kind of what we talk about. Real quick. We'll probably
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: stick around another five ten minutes here, guys, just to
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: let everybody get their stuff in at the end too.
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: But if you go to quarterback Nad's real quick. Billy
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: brought this up. We're not gonna do a full overview.
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: I liked Billy's version of like ten minutes above. Billy
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: will have another show later in the week. Hoop title
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: of myself. We'll have our show later in the week
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: this week, actually title is out. It's gonna be Alex
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: Blickel on with us, so you know, Stats will have
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: his show. We'll be able to post those links in
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: the chat so you guys can get fully ready for Thanksgiving.
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: But Quarterback's pretty similar priced go to running back for
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: a second. Gibbs eighty eight hundred, Henry only seven three
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: definitely gonna be very popular for those two there'll be others,
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: but just noting like people can get to them. We
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: just saw what Gibbs did, we saw what Henry did.
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: It still is Baltimore and Detroit at home in both
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: spots go to tight end. We'll skip wide receiver for
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: a second. You know, I'm not sure how this one
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: will be handled fully, but when you have like Kelsey
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: Andrews Ferguson, whatever, defense doesn't matter. But I'm most curious
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: to spend the last few minutes here on wide receiver.
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: Naids your your first thoughts, then I'll get Billy's final
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: thoughts and where you can find him. But Naid's wide receiver.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: Somebody said today is you know, could Jamar Chase be
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: one hundred and eight percent owned on this slate. It's
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: not possible, obviously, but just it feels like a situation
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: where he's going to be pretty highly owned, and then
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: there's a bunch of options after it. And I noted
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: the pickens Lamb thing. Finally got the pricing right, but
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: it's only one hundred bucks. So what do you think
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: in Nad's first thoughts here at wide receiver, We'll finish
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: on that.
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean everyone's gonna flock to play Jamar Chase
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: just because all the talks of the Ravens sacnary, but
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: more so because Joe Burrow's coming back, right, and now
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: they can finally play Jamar Chase with the guy that
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: they love to play him with. Right, So, naturally Chase
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: is going to have all the ownership. Higgins is going
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: to be somewhat held in check at six K because
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: of the other guys around him. Right, you got Zay
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: Flowers as an easy run back in that game when
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: people are already playing Jamar Chase. Joe Burrow's stuff, right,
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: So right there, naturally gonna hold T. Higgins in place.
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: I think what's interesting is the drop off in price
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: right after T Higgins. The Jamison Williams, Watson, dobbs Worthy,
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: Jayden Reed's not gonna come back this this week obviously,
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: Hollywood Brown, Matthew Golden if he comes back, Bateman if
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: he's back, right, all of those guys, I mean, there's
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: a lot of guys, right. If you play Jamison Williams
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: and he doesn't get there, Watson, dobbs Worthy, Yoshi Vas, Hollywood, Brown, Golden, Wicks, Bateman,
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: all of these guys, they're all priced within a thousand
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: dollars of each other. Right, that's going to be a
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: section that you're gonna have to get right, right, because
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: potentially you could have could play four wide receivers on
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: it a roster, right, and it could be a four
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: wide receiver optimal that you need.
- 1:07:04Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: So getting this range right, I think is going to
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: be the most important range because you're gonna have to
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: play at least one of them, right. You can't just
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: go in and play Jamier Gibbs, Jamar Chase, Samona Saint
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: Brown or she Rice Pickens, right, we do play a
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: salary based game. So you have to get that range right.
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: I think that's gonna be the most important range to
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: get right. Is that forty eight hundred to thirty eight
- 1:07:22Speaker 3: hundred dollars range or thirty five hundred dollars range down
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: to Wick basically wis up to Jameson Williams.
- 1:07:27Speaker 4: I think is going to be the range that's going
- 1:07:29Speaker 4: to separate.
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: And most people say, yeah, no, no shit, But I
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: think that's truly a talking point because there's a lot
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: of guys in games, right, the Kansas City, right, the
- 1:07:38Speaker 3: Worthy stuff in there, the Hollywood Brown stuff in there,
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: the Watson, Dobbs, Jameson Williams stuff from the first game.
- 1:07:45Speaker 3: So I think that's the main point right there from
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: wide receivers, that that kind of value range, if you will.
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: Yeah, big big news like that's why I brought it
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: up off the top. You didn't see yesterday as Higgins
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: was concussed. So well, we'll see how it actually plays
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: out what ends up happening by Thursday. But it is
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: a quick turnaround, obviously, you know, something to look into.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: But that would just you know, we've seen Jamar Chase
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: be ninety percent on these shorter slates anyway, the two
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: gamers and stuff like that. This could just be a
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: spot where he gets to a really big number. But
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: for potentially good reason this stuff. And I love Jerry
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: Matt he's my guy. Actually work with him over in
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: the Mastermind program and stuff. But just looking at this,
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: he says, you know about Dak dropping passes or sorry,
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: Lamb dropping passes from Dak. If it's ceed, Lamb, I
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: don't care as much. Like to me, that's the thing,
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: and I don't think people will either, So Billy, I
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: want to get your take on this. I don't think
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: I think Lamb still comes again. This is just first take,
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: don't care like whatever happens happens. But I think we
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: could see Lamb coming higher than Picking still because people
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: still go by the name. And I also think in
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty five thirty six people happily go
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: back to Jamison Williams at this price too, because a
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: lot of what happens is more dictated by price than
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: anything else. We saw brock Bowers a couple of weeks
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: ago on the showdown slater a week and a half ago,
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: where it was great, mad fine, but it was also
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: based on price. We just saw Trey McBride again, valid,
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: very legit, but based on matchup and price, and price
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: still factored in more which leads to the ownership. I
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: think Williams Lamb Chase could be a very common trio
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: that you see in lineups with some combo of like
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: Rice in a Monra and those guys too. But what's
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: your thoughts on this wide receiver spot here?
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'll give quick thoughts on kind of
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: the top of the board just in general, Like, yeah,
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: I think I think if t Higgins doesn't clear concussion
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: protocol like Jamar Chase is gonna be the highest own
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: wide receiver. I don't think it's going to be close.
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: People are just gonna pencil him in. I think a
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: really intriguing spot is for Racy Rice. Cowboys have gotten
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: smashed by elite wide receivers, like I'll just rattle off
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: because the name is stat ATL one hundred and sixty
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: seven and two to Thelik Neighbors, one hundred and ten
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: in a touchdown to A. J. Brown last night, one
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: hundred and forty two in a touchdown to Wandelle Robinson,
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: one hundred and one in a touchdown to Luther Burden,
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: only fifty eight yards but three touchdowns to Romeo Dobbs.
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: Troy Franklin went for ninety and two touchdowns, Marvin Harrison
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: went for just under one hundred, like ninety seven in
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: a touchdown Like this is a spot where Kansas City
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: has to keep winning. I know they squeaked out that
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: win yesterday, but they're still like in the tenth spot
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: in the like current playoff standings, like they have to
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: keep winning and Dallas is just getting smashed by wide
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: receiver ones. So I think that Racy Rice is probably
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: the best play on the board at wide receiver over
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: Jamar Chase, in my opinion, and you get a little
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: bit of that price discount. And then when you talk
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: about Pickens and Lamb, like Lamb is definitely the bigger name.
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: Lamb hasn't topped twenty five points all season, whereas George
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: Pickens has four games above thirty two points. So I
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: think that if l is higher owned, which I think
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: you will be because of the name recognition, and you're
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: gonna have so many more casuals. To me, I think
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: that's just wrong. But I think they're both good plays.
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: And this is a slate because pricing is loose or
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: looser that if anybody puts up twenty five or more points,
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: you're probably they're probably gonna have to be on a
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: roster Like there's you may be able to, you know,
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: come around, like if it's twenty six points from Pickens
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: at seven thousand, like you may be able to get
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: there if some cheaper guys put up, you know, put
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: up a decent score. But in general, like I think
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: any guy that could go for twenty five plus points
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: like you kind of have to be I don't want
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: to say accounting for on every roster, but I think
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: you should be thinking through. Okay if CD, like you know,
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: if Racy Rice or Rassie Rice, however you actually say
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: his first name, if he completely fails, I don't think
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: that Kansas City is gonna fail in this match up
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: in a dome, like I would probably have Travis Kelce
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: on that bill if I don't have rest your Rice,
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: or maybe I would consider Kareem Hunt, which I you know,
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: if if there's no wide receivers getting there, Kansas City
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: or maybe it's Kansas City d like to me, that's
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: how I want to think through these builds of like
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: where are the smash spots?
- 1:12:22Speaker 4: You know again you you alluded to.
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: I know we don't want to spend a lot of
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: time on running back, but like Derrick Henry against the Bengals,
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: like Cincinnati has given up huge games to running backs,
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: they've given up huge games to tight end. You saw
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: it again just yesterday with Hunter Henry going for one
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen in the touchdown Like there have been
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: two tight ends that have had better games than that
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: seven one fifteen and one like Friar Muth went for
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: over one hundred with two touchdowns. Klaston Lovelan went for
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: over one hundred with two touchdowns, like tight ends are
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: smashing the Bengals, So you know, I mean, I think
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: you're gonna see Mark Andrews b Megachok. I think you're
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: gonna see Derek Henry beat Megachalk. So just all things
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: to kind of consider there.
- 1:13:05Speaker 4: But yeah, well you.
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: Got to consider too when you're building out early. Like
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: you said, I'm sorry to cut you off, but just
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: to know it, I'll let you get your final thoughts
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: in here in a second, but just for the Green
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: Bay stuff, like imagine you build a love for example
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: of Dobbs. If people aren't on Williams in that game
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: James and Williams at forty eight hundred, they might go
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: to Watson at forty seven hundred, But then Dobbs is
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: at forty six hundred. And if Dobbs has a two
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: touchdown game, that could be really good for love. Love
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: rosters could leave you the money for You're already super different.
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: You probably have separators already, and then maybe that leaves
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: you the money for Andrews and Henry later on. But
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: you're in good shape so now you don't have to
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: worry about it. But if you have a different lineup,
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: that busts early on. Going to those guys is not
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: separating you, it's just lumping you even further into the
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: same pack everybody else is in. So thinking about things
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: like that, and then also with quarterbacks, like anybody who's
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: not I say never Mahomes. People know that's for classic
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: main slates. On a three gamer you can definitely play
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: it's three games only, So just noting that, but the
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: concept of thinking about if people aren't on Mahomes, they
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: likely still want a piece of it. So you know
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: what that means in the non Mahomes lineups, you're gonna
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: see more Rice, more Kelsey because then people say, how
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: do I get a piece of that game if I'm
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: not on Mahomes, And the answer might end up being
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: you want Mahomes, Rice and Kelsey. And then you can
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: still put Derrick Henry in there and it takes away
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: from Mark Andrews. You put a zay flowers and split
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: the difference on them or something like that. So lots
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: of different ways you can play it. I think it's
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: gonna be a fun say, we'll have a ton more
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: content on it throughout the week. Billy, thank you so
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: much for doing this.

- 1:15:26Speaker 2: do a great job too. We we take things tip
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: from a little bit of a different perspective, not that
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: one is better or different. Like I think some people
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: come and say, hey, I think ship it just really
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: resonates with me, Like, I love how you guys think
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: through things. People come to one Week's Season and kind
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: of say the same thing. Some people you know, have
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: have multiple.
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: Memories over both.
- 1:15:45Speaker 4: For sure, A lot of crossover.
- 1:15:47Speaker 2: So yeah, and if you want to give me a follow,
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: I'm reasonably reasonably active on on Twitter. I don't I
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: still don't call it X because I'm you know, hastag old.
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: It's just stat Atl. You can find me over there
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: on Twitter. And I've got a a YouTube channel that
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: is kind of a new YouTube channel that is just
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: stat atl On on YouTube, I do a lot of like, uh,
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: Playoff best Ball and best ball content really high into
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: like the Playoff best Ball. I think that that's really awesome.
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: You know you referenced Neil Orfield earlier. Awesome, dude, I've
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: done some some content with him specific to Playoff best Ball,
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: so you really jumping into those streets here in the
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: next couple of weeks.
- 1:16:31Speaker 4: Awesome, thanks for having me on. I didn't. I didn't
- 1:16:33Speaker 4: say thank you yet.
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: No, you did enough. Thank thank you so much. Man,
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: and Aid's I'll let you get your final thoughts in
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: man before we get out here. Anything else you want
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: to add, No, appreciate stat jumping on a good guy.
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: And oh, fellow bourbon bourbon bourbon friend there too, so
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: always good, But no, I appreciate it. Looking forward to
- 1:16:49Speaker 3: to this slate and uh, I dropped it in the chat.
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: I think a lot of teams start Burrow Gibbs, Henry
- 1:16:54Speaker 3: Chase and then find out value, right because Burrow's coming back,
- 1:16:59Speaker 3: He's six K He's the cheapest of the stud quarterbacks
- 1:17:02Speaker 3: that people want to crown studs. It naturally correlates with Chase,
- 1:17:05Speaker 3: and then Henry is the bringback, right, and then people
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: will just want Junior Gibbs because he just went off
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: for fifty five fantasy points, right, So, and you can
- 1:17:13Speaker 3: easily make it work, especially if Higgins is out right
- 1:17:15Speaker 3: guess what easy bring easy ad in Yoshi Vash as
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: a value play there, because if you do do that start,
- 1:17:20Speaker 3: it gives you thirty nine eight or three and eighty
- 1:17:25Speaker 3: dollars left for your spots. Obviously defense is cheaper. So
- 1:17:29Speaker 3: I think that's an interesting point. And talking about the
- 1:17:31Speaker 3: common build, I know you'll do that a lot on
- 1:17:34Speaker 3: the Wednesday show with Alex Blico and who talking to that.
- 1:17:37Speaker 4: So that's another free show too for the people.
- 1:17:39Speaker 3: If you're looking for content there on how to kind
- 1:17:43Speaker 3: of approach to Slaton, put it all together and hopefully
- 1:17:45Speaker 3: find your way to the top.
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, if you guys have anything else reach out.
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: You can find me at TOTEG and tambo on x.
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: And then if you want to get into DFS Mastermind
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: project over at ship a Nation, i mentioned we'll be

- 1:17:58Speaker 1: email today so everybody knows and is in on this,
