- 0:43Speaker 2: YouTube station. My guy Matt's over there, keep it in
- 0:47Speaker 2: the dark man, We got Naids. We got our guy,
- 0:49Speaker 2: Matt Bellman and it's my camera.
- 0:51Speaker 3: I'm gonna hop out and hop back in.
- 0:53Speaker 1: All right, hop hop off, hop back in. That'll work.
- 0:55Speaker 1: We're all good.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna break it all down for you guys
- 0:57Speaker 2: as usual. We're gonna go through it.
- 0:59Speaker 1: We appreciate everybody here in the chat. Going to talk
- 1:01Speaker 1: about everything. In week six. We got the winners, We've
- 1:05Speaker 1: got the perfect lineup.
- 1:06Speaker 2: We're gonna break it down with the tools, the stack, rankings,
- 1:09Speaker 2: the stone last week, everything that we have over on
- 1:11Speaker 2: the site at shiber Nation as well.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Nate's what's going on, my man?
- 1:13Speaker 4: How you doing doing good? Man doing good? Bird's got
- 1:16Speaker 4: the job done, Packers got the job done. DFS was
- 1:20Speaker 4: close right there knocking on the door. Didn't didn't get
- 1:23Speaker 4: quite the right combinations. Well, we'll talk about that. Obviously,
- 1:25Speaker 4: injury riddled slate from many of the studs yesterday, and
- 1:29Speaker 4: I think from an interesting roster construction build that we're
- 1:32Speaker 4: going to talk about right when we knew going into
- 1:35Speaker 4: the slate yesterday everybody wanted to play the three mid
- 1:37Speaker 4: tier running backs. If they weren't doing that, they were
- 1:39Speaker 4: playing two of those to get up to either Jonathan
- 1:41Speaker 4: Taylor or Christian McCaffrey. So living in that tier just
- 1:45Speaker 4: below that that was thirteen hundred dollars and eleven hundred
- 1:47Speaker 4: dollars cheaper in guys like Josh Jacobs right and Hm
- 1:53Speaker 4: Right who absolutely smashed. And what that overall did for
- 1:57Speaker 4: your roster construction and a build wise, I think is
- 2:00Speaker 4: very interesting to take note. And it felt very tough
- 2:03Speaker 4: building teams with guys like Puka and Jonathan Taylor and
- 2:06Speaker 4: McCaffrey yesterday and trying to force it doing different things
- 2:10Speaker 4: that way, maybe taking a step back and peeling back
- 2:12Speaker 4: the onion a little bit more and just realizing that, hey,
- 2:15Speaker 4: what happens if I play two of these mid tier
- 2:17Speaker 4: guys or one of these mid tier guys, and what
- 2:19Speaker 4: does that do for me at the running back position?
- 2:22Speaker 4: Things like that I think were somewhere I missed a
- 2:25Speaker 4: little bit, at least yesterday leading up, but looking forward
- 2:28Speaker 4: to breaking it all down here.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all set up there now I'll get the
- 2:31Speaker 1: perfect lineup. But I love the chat, said thought. I
- 2:33Speaker 1: thought it was the big reveal. We thought Matt was
- 2:36Speaker 1: doing like a boom lights on.
- 2:37Speaker 2: This is him, but he's been on plenty of shows before,
- 2:40Speaker 2: so he's definitely not hiding his face.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Just lighting issue will get him back in here shortly,
- 2:44Speaker 1: but gonna break it all down. The perfect lineup will
- 2:46Speaker 1: start with yesterday nads.
- 2:47Speaker 2: And I know some people were shocked to see this,
- 2:50Speaker 2: like Jacoby Brissette pops up at this price, but again
- 2:53Speaker 2: you'll look at it later, and I think I have
- 2:55Speaker 2: it was two twenty seven for brown Town, no O's
- 2:59Speaker 2: for that won the million Maker, and we'll get to
- 3:01Speaker 2: that in a bit as well with the Drake May lineup.
- 3:03Speaker 2: But this is the setup just for the optum, right,
- 3:06Speaker 2: two fifty five, spending almost the full fifty k.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Let me know what you see here. There's obviously the
- 3:11Speaker 1: you know a chan doubt.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Well, well, we'll talk about some of this stuff, but
- 3:14Speaker 2: a lot of it makes sense and then some of it,
- 3:16Speaker 2: like Brissette and Booty, maybe not for everybody, but.
- 3:19Speaker 1: I was even doing the booty booy booty. We be rocking.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Everywhere yesterday and this guy gets too Touchdow, I should
- 3:23Speaker 2: have picked him as my two touchdown take.
- 3:25Speaker 1: What do you think of this perfect lineup?
- 3:27Speaker 4: Yeah, you should have picked him in your two touchdown
- 3:29Speaker 4: and every DFS lineup because you would have had a
- 3:31Speaker 4: pretty pretty profitable day yesterday in general. But he didn't
- 3:34Speaker 4: make some sense. We'll talk about him when we break
- 3:36Speaker 4: down that game. Right, we knew everybody was going to dig.
- 3:38Speaker 4: Everybody was going to Henry. Booty was five hundred dollars
- 3:41Speaker 4: cheaper than Hunter Henry at a Onesie. I mean you
- 3:44Speaker 4: can look at everything as a flex position basically, right,
- 3:46Speaker 4: because you can play two tight ends, you can play
- 3:48Speaker 4: four wide receivers, you can play three running back. So
- 3:51Speaker 4: five hundred dollars cheaper on the same team in the
- 3:53Speaker 4: game where everybody wants to stack. He definitely made some sense.
- 3:57Speaker 4: The piece that I want to call out here is
- 3:58Speaker 4: the Ricodoudo and George Pickens mini stack here. The reason
- 4:03Speaker 4: being is we talked about when you're looking for ministacks,
- 4:05Speaker 4: you're looking for correlation. Right. You want a guy, you
- 4:08Speaker 4: want them to not just be they're not just correlated
- 4:11Speaker 4: by the fact that they're in the same game, right,
- 4:13Speaker 4: there is inverse correlation. You guys talk about it on
- 4:17Speaker 4: the Leverage Lane show every single week. Right, how can
- 4:20Speaker 4: Rico Daudo? How can that game get sped up? Well,
- 4:23Speaker 4: guess what, you can catch a bomb down the sidelines
- 4:26Speaker 4: to George Pickens for a touchdown, give the ball right
- 4:28Speaker 4: back to Rico Daudo, right, things like that. George Pickens
- 4:31Speaker 4: is a guy that would speed that game up. Right,
- 4:33Speaker 4: Many people were running Rico Dado with Jake Ferguson right
- 4:36Speaker 4: because it was a cheaper stack and it allowed you
- 4:38Speaker 4: to get up to poopkinakus, it allowed you to get
- 4:39Speaker 4: up to the jsns at the wide receiver position. But
- 4:43Speaker 4: does Ferguson really speed up the game that much to
- 4:46Speaker 4: give the ball right back to Dado and things like that?
- 4:48Speaker 4: So I think that mini stack was really good. It's
- 4:50Speaker 4: slice and diced into Rico Dado's ownership as well. Daddo
- 4:53Speaker 4: steamed obviously way up leading up to Locke came in
- 4:56Speaker 4: over thirty five percent owned, but George Pickens on so
- 5:00Speaker 4: right there combined when you knew the chalk your ministack
- 5:03Speaker 4: was going to fergus In within the same team. I
- 5:05Speaker 4: thought that was a pretty sharp play. We're going to
- 5:07Speaker 4: talk about that a lot. And all the reviews of
- 5:09Speaker 4: all the winning lineups had that combination. The Hn piece right,
- 5:14Speaker 4: everybody was in on the Herbert side right with the
- 5:16Speaker 4: condensed target tree and this and that. Herbert's really going
- 5:19Speaker 4: to get there? How's that game going to speed up? No,
- 5:21Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill, Jalen Wattle is there. Yeah, but I mean,
- 5:25Speaker 4: chan this dude does it all. He's a wide receiver.
- 5:27Speaker 4: He's Christian McCaffrey for one thousand dollars cheaper right in
- 5:31Speaker 4: a good game environment that people were already targeting. So
- 5:33Speaker 4: going to that, I know you were on that quite
- 5:35Speaker 4: a bit. And there were so many running backs on
- 5:38Speaker 4: the slate yesterday that not everybody can get steamed, not
- 5:40Speaker 4: everybody can get played right. At most, you can play
- 5:42Speaker 4: three running backs in the team. So you knew guys
- 5:46Speaker 4: like Javonte Williams, Rashaan White, Javante and Rico Daldo weren't
- 5:49Speaker 4: really gonna move that much. They moved a little bit,
- 5:52Speaker 4: but the other guys had to move around. You saw
- 5:54Speaker 4: j at moon walk back, you saw Christian McCaffrey moon
- 5:57Speaker 4: walk back. You saw guys like Devon Ahchan just knocking
- 6:00Speaker 4: it played because of the way roster's set up yesterday.
- 6:03Speaker 4: But outside of that, not much more. Mayor was a
- 6:05Speaker 4: good play projections wise, I know, late swap, A lot
- 6:07Speaker 4: of late swap teams swapped onto him in flexes and
- 6:11Speaker 4: things like that. With no Brock powers there, and then
- 6:14Speaker 4: Josh Jacob's in that thirty point team total at home
- 6:17Speaker 4: fourteen point favorites, it made a lot of sense there.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll bring Matt back in here in a second,
- 6:21Speaker 2: but just a note, like we brought up the stone
- 6:23Speaker 2: we always do. We talked about this a ton yesterday
- 6:25Speaker 2: and hen came in even lower than that for ownership,
- 6:28Speaker 2: so it just made it even better. But when a
- 6:29Speaker 2: guy has a you know, a thirty four point four
- 6:32Speaker 2: ceiling and what he hit thirty four, So he hit
- 6:35Speaker 2: a ceiling score yesterday. But it's always possible another guy
- 6:38Speaker 2: that was tagged in there on the stone, so you
- 6:40Speaker 2: could see that lad was in there, Like you can
- 6:42Speaker 2: look at it each week and see at JSN popped
- 6:45Speaker 2: off the page and everyone's mad about him hitting at chalk.
- 6:48Speaker 2: You got to figure out how to play the chalk
- 6:49Speaker 2: That's really what it comes down to. So Matt, we're
- 6:52Speaker 2: excited to have you. The nation's already talking about it
- 6:54Speaker 2: in the chat. They thought it was like a grand reveal.
- 6:56Speaker 2: They thought you were like the dark and like boom,
- 6:58Speaker 2: he's here.
- 6:59Speaker 1: But what's going on?
- 7:00Speaker 5: Man?
- 7:00Speaker 2: We're super excited to have you on the show, but
- 7:02Speaker 2: more excited to have you now as part of ship
- 7:04Speaker 2: a nation.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Got to be helping us out first off with MBA.
- 7:07Speaker 2: And then might have a little few more things up
- 7:09Speaker 2: our sleeves that we're going to talk about this week.
- 7:11Speaker 1: But what's going on, man? How you doing?
- 7:12Speaker 5: Pumped to be here, Pumped to be with both you guys.
- 7:15Speaker 5: Definitely no grand reveal, more like life is going to life.
- 7:19Speaker 5: The camera that I've used for shows for three years,
- 7:22Speaker 5: all of a sudden this morning is going to funk
- 7:24Speaker 5: out on me, So onto my backup camera. That's why
- 7:26Speaker 5: it's a little bit weird over here. But gotta adjust, right,
- 7:29Speaker 5: Gotta adjust when life comes your way. So happy to
- 7:32Speaker 5: be here, Sorry for the late appearance, but excited to
- 7:36Speaker 5: talk about yesterday's slate with you guys. I'm glad that
- 7:40Speaker 5: I hopped in right when you were talking about a
- 7:41Speaker 5: chan because he was in my best lineup, so he
- 7:43Speaker 5: was really big for me at very very low ownership
- 7:46Speaker 5: in that big millie.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Yeah, what was I mean, that's amazing, Like you know
- 7:50Speaker 2: the camera thing. Good news is at least we know
- 7:52Speaker 2: you can afford one obviously on an absolute massive heater
- 7:54Speaker 2: right now. Just the way time and like you said,
- 7:56Speaker 2: lifeful life. The way life goes sometimes is interesting. But
- 7:59Speaker 2: we've been talking before and then it's like, oh, by
- 8:01Speaker 2: the way, he's he's already about to join the nation
- 8:04Speaker 2: and this guy decides to just ship like two hundred
- 8:06Speaker 2: and fifty k over three slates. You almost won the
- 8:09Speaker 2: million maker, and oh my gosh, like this is just crazy.
- 8:11Speaker 2: But either way, man, excited to have your talk about
- 8:14Speaker 2: your thoughts on HN then for just a minute, because
- 8:17Speaker 2: he was a guy yesterday that was priced up. Everyone
- 8:19Speaker 2: was going the mid tier running backs, but you still
- 8:22Speaker 2: had no Tyreek Hill. The Dolphins were at home against
- 8:25Speaker 2: the Chargers that they definitely could be run on. But
- 8:28Speaker 2: he was a running back that ended up coming in
- 8:29Speaker 2: just extremely low. I think he was six percent in
- 8:31Speaker 2: a lot of places. What was your thoughts on why
- 8:33Speaker 2: you went to him as opposed to some of the others.
- 8:36Speaker 3: So I've never done a show with Nids.
- 8:38Speaker 5: I've never met Nids, but I couldn't have said it
- 8:40Speaker 5: any better myself than how he broke it down. A
- 8:42Speaker 5: lot of people liked Herbert. A lot of people like
- 8:44Speaker 5: those receivers. I mean, who on Miami is really gonna
- 8:47Speaker 5: speed that game up? H Chen is by far their
- 8:50Speaker 5: best offensive weapon. I think he you know, he's kind
- 8:54Speaker 5: of a wide receiver in a running back's body, and
- 8:57Speaker 5: they certainly use him in all sorts of ways. If
- 9:00Speaker 5: you watch that game, he was clearly the best player
- 9:03Speaker 5: on the field, and I just kind of like Nate's
- 9:06Speaker 5: put it all the running backs couldn't get ownership.
- 9:08Speaker 3: I also liked the idea of.
- 9:10Speaker 5: The guy who was massive massive chalk last week not
- 9:13Speaker 5: getting any ownership this week.
- 9:15Speaker 3: He let people down. He wasn't great.
- 9:17Speaker 5: I know the matchups were a lot different, but he's
- 9:19Speaker 5: the type of guy that can hit a ceiling in
- 9:21Speaker 5: any type of game, and he did it yesterday. I
- 9:24Speaker 5: didn't like love the spot, but I like the Herbert side,
- 9:27Speaker 5: and he was the runback I liked best.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love the call you brought up too.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Nads and I talk about this all the time, like
- 9:32Speaker 2: it's a look at it yesterday again too, same thing
- 9:35Speaker 2: with Tyler Warren and again other Obviously Meyer got there,
- 9:38Speaker 2: so it changes up the slate, et cetera, et cetera.
- 9:40Speaker 2: But it's like the thing about Warren the week before, Oh,
- 9:43Speaker 2: this guy gets goal line carries, he's everything, he's their
- 9:46Speaker 2: whole team. And then there's there's guys that are ruled
- 9:48Speaker 2: out and it's like the spot technically should be even
- 9:50Speaker 2: better for him, but the ownership cuts in half and
- 9:53Speaker 2: he's now down to like fourteen as.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Opposed to twenty eight in places.
- 9:56Speaker 2: And then the other thing is the a cham One,
- 9:58Speaker 2: the guy's massive cho the week before. Not much changes
- 10:02Speaker 2: except he has one bad week and people just abandoned
- 10:04Speaker 2: ship right like it's time to move off this guy.
- 10:06Speaker 2: We got all these other options instead, So I like
- 10:09Speaker 2: that call quite a bit. The other one was the
- 10:12Speaker 2: Rico Dawdle. Like again, people we were making fun of it.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Whop called him Dodal yesterday and I thought that was
- 10:17Speaker 2: hilarious and you did need him to get the dough.
- 10:20Speaker 5: So here's my thing about Dowdell, Like real quick, I
- 10:22Speaker 5: don't know if you guys had talked about him while
- 10:24Speaker 5: I was messing up my camera. You can't you know,
- 10:28Speaker 5: this isn't the basis of everything. But he's freaking good
- 10:32Speaker 5: at ball. I mean, I think Dowdell is a freaking
- 10:34Speaker 5: stud just hasn't been given the opportunity. So when he's
- 10:38Speaker 5: going to be given the opportunity and he's still cheap
- 10:40Speaker 5: like this, I'm gonna play him.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Yeah, And he gets the Jets next week too, So
- 10:44Speaker 2: I'm not sure if Hubard's gonna be back.
- 10:46Speaker 1: But I saw the chat this morning around that Nads.
- 10:49Speaker 2: I thought you did a good job breaking this one down,
- 10:50Speaker 2: and it was you know, Javonte, By the way, we
- 10:53Speaker 2: ended up getting this right, and we came in pretty close,
- 10:56Speaker 2: but we had we had Dowdell just a little bit
- 10:58Speaker 2: higher in ownership. He ended up coming in just a
- 11:00Speaker 2: little bit higher. And before that everyone had Williams as higher.
- 11:05Speaker 2: But this was just a classic way to make that move.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Nobody really wanted.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Pickens at sixty eight hundred.
- 11:11Speaker 2: There was nice Dak lineups out there that could play
- 11:13Speaker 2: like Dak Pickens Ferguson with Doubtell and whatever, or like
- 11:17Speaker 2: you could have mixed in Tet as well.
- 11:19Speaker 1: He didn't have as big of a game as some
- 11:20Speaker 1: of those other receivers.
- 11:21Speaker 2: But I think the bigger thing to me yesterday was
- 11:23Speaker 2: what we kept talking about with Puka.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Puka still did have a price adjustment, like he was
- 11:28Speaker 1: up to eighty seven hundred.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Now what wasn't happening was tet people think he's going higher,
- 11:33Speaker 2: Well then why didn't you love him at sick I Again,
- 11:35Speaker 2: he did get ownership, so I shouldn't say people didn't
- 11:37Speaker 2: love him, but you get what I'm saying.
- 11:38Speaker 1: But the biggest one was with JSN.
- 11:41Speaker 2: I don't know anyone who was surprised by this guy
- 11:43Speaker 2: having another big game and he was priced as he's
- 11:45Speaker 2: Puka for eleven hundred dollars cheaper said it on the
- 11:48Speaker 2: show talk about It's not like an after the fact thing.
- 11:49Speaker 1: It was like, this is the same spot.
- 11:51Speaker 2: So if you were on the Lawrence Brian Thomas Junior,
- 11:54Speaker 2: who could have had like that combo by the way,
- 11:57Speaker 2: not even just being results orry, it felt like they
- 11:58Speaker 2: could have had like four hundred yards and four touchdowns.
- 12:02Speaker 3: But that TD got called back. Did you see that?
- 12:04Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the Travis Hunter holding car. What the hell?
- 12:07Speaker 2: It was like just ridiculous stuff. But either way, you know,
- 12:11Speaker 2: I didn't hate the spot. I think that was another
- 12:12Speaker 2: good one to get after. And if you're playing JSN
- 12:14Speaker 2: the Donald JSN Cup Stacks with BTJ, or if you
- 12:19Speaker 2: wanted to go Laurence BTJ long with JSN, like, there
- 12:21Speaker 2: was tons of ways you could get there. And we're
- 12:23Speaker 2: gonna look at some lineups in a bit, as we
- 12:25Speaker 2: always do, but Nays, is there any other thoughts you
- 12:27Speaker 2: had just around this perfect lineup as we click back
- 12:29Speaker 2: to it here.
- 12:30Speaker 4: Yeah, no, not much more. I do want to kind
- 12:33Speaker 4: of hit into Matt's point or out the game stack
- 12:37Speaker 4: there with the ah hm pis too right? When people
- 12:39Speaker 4: were going to the running that game back right where
- 12:42Speaker 4: they going they were going to Watto because he was
- 12:45Speaker 4: sixty one hundred dollars and they didn't want to spend
- 12:48Speaker 4: if they were spending seventy eight hundred dollars on a
- 12:50Speaker 4: running back, they were clicking Christian McCaffrey or Jonathan Taylor
- 12:53Speaker 4: for a little bit more expensive, right, and for the
- 12:56Speaker 4: scarcity they know they can only play three running backs. Well,
- 12:58Speaker 4: guess what, there's no way I can't play Donnald. There's
- 13:01Speaker 4: no way I can't play Davonte Williams. There's no way
- 13:03Speaker 4: I can't play Rashad White. Those are the best players
- 13:05Speaker 4: in the slate. Well, how do I run that game back?
- 13:08Speaker 4: Jalen Wattle? Wattle came in much higher on than Chan did, right,
- 13:12Speaker 4: and it was a cheaper, cheaper and more comfortable stack. Right,
- 13:16Speaker 4: But who's the most most explosive player on that team?
- 13:19Speaker 4: We talked about these game environments. Run you're looking into
- 13:22Speaker 4: stacking partners and running guys back. What can pick up
- 13:25Speaker 4: the game environment? Right? Jalen Wattle is more your PPR guy. Right,
- 13:28Speaker 4: He's gonna rack up eight for sixty seven eighty yards,
- 13:33Speaker 4: right and maybe score a touchdown? Right? A Chan can
- 13:35Speaker 4: break that seventy yard runoff things like that. So I
- 13:38Speaker 4: think that's an important piece that doesn't get thought about
- 13:41Speaker 4: too often.
- 13:41Speaker 2: Right.
- 13:41Speaker 4: People just think everybody's correlated within the same game environment,
- 13:44Speaker 4: and that's just not the case.
- 13:46Speaker 2: Another thing too, I want to bring up quickly because
- 13:48Speaker 2: I definitely talked in this heavily, and it's like a
- 13:50Speaker 2: big factor just from an understanding the slate perspective. Look
- 13:54Speaker 2: who shows up as the optimal D And again people
- 13:56Speaker 2: go on for days like we always talk about the
- 13:58Speaker 2: high variants. But what did I say, if there's a
- 14:01Speaker 2: there's a way to go after everybody wanted the Houston
- 14:03Speaker 2: D the week before against Cooper Rush, our stack rankings,
- 14:07Speaker 2: Cooper Rush dead bottom, cam Ward right behind him, and you.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Play Vegas or you play the Rams.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Everyone was already playing Green Bay and Indianapolis and all
- 14:18Speaker 2: these other things, and even if you didn't have Williams
- 14:20Speaker 2: in there, that was a way to cut in to
- 14:22Speaker 2: the Williams team.
- 14:23Speaker 1: But I was saying it was it was so interesting that.
- 14:25Speaker 2: People didn't really want to go to the D that's
- 14:27Speaker 2: in the exact same matchup as the week before that
- 14:29Speaker 2: the Houston D got there.
- 14:30Speaker 1: It's like, that's kind of the whole point.
- 14:32Speaker 2: So we always talk about these stack rankings, and Matt,
- 14:35Speaker 2: it's awesome having you on her to get a different perspective.
- 14:37Speaker 1: But we look at our stack rankings.
- 14:39Speaker 2: They're not like the rest of the industry, where like
- 14:41Speaker 2: people were like, how would Spencer Rattler be the best
- 14:44Speaker 2: stack on the slate. And it's not saying that it's
- 14:46Speaker 2: not a good stack er, it's necessarily the best. It's
- 14:49Speaker 2: the best value when you take our projections and ownership
- 14:54Speaker 2: and salary and bring it out to play. And then
- 14:57Speaker 2: the difference is when somebody's building a single entry and
- 14:59Speaker 2: they say, Okay, I want a good stack. I got
- 15:01Speaker 2: a lot of money to spend. Okay, maybe I look
- 15:03Speaker 2: at a baker. Obviously injuries yesterday don't help. But maybe
- 15:05Speaker 2: I got money to spend. I can find that, or
- 15:08Speaker 2: I can go to Darnold JSM with cup again. But
- 15:10Speaker 2: if I don't have money, maybe to Hoops Point yesterday.
- 15:13Speaker 1: I'll tell you what.
- 15:14Speaker 2: There was a crazy lineup here, Nads that almost again
- 15:18Speaker 2: didn't even get there. But the game environment we had
- 15:20Speaker 2: it as sneaky on the stone. This was the lineup yesterday, Nads.
- 15:23Speaker 2: I gotta show you this and Matt, just so you're
- 15:25Speaker 2: learning this how we use the stack rankings.
- 15:27Speaker 1: This is an interesting one.
- 15:29Speaker 2: If you built Spencer, Rattler, Olave Shaheed, and then you
- 15:34Speaker 2: put in Hunter, Henry and Diggs, and you filled up
- 15:38Speaker 2: all those positions with the game. It allowed you to
- 15:41Speaker 2: fit Rashad White because you're not on the Tampa Bay stack.
- 15:45Speaker 2: It allowed you to fit Jacobs because you're not on
- 15:48Speaker 2: Green Bay. It allowed you to fit Jonathan Taylor because
- 15:52Speaker 2: you're not on the Indie passing attack and then it
- 15:54Speaker 2: landed on the defense Green Bay to go with Jacobs
- 15:58Speaker 2: and against the third lowest guy, Flacco. It didn't work
- 16:02Speaker 2: out at all, but the environment was good and could
- 16:04Speaker 2: have went back and forth. It could have been Diggs
- 16:06Speaker 2: and Henry instead of Booty and and Pop Douglas. It
- 16:09Speaker 2: could have been a lot of different things and could
- 16:10Speaker 2: have should have. Would I if my aunt had, you
- 16:12Speaker 2: know what, she'd be my uncle? I get it, But
- 16:13Speaker 2: I'm saying the main point is is that's how you're
- 16:16Speaker 2: thinking about this stuff when you're building. And well, that
- 16:19Speaker 2: one didn't work out some of them. Did you see
- 16:22Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett? You see, if you're not on the Carolina
- 16:25Speaker 2: passing stack, you could be on Doubt. We'll already know
- 16:27Speaker 2: that was a good play anyway. If you're not on
- 16:29Speaker 2: these guys, you could be on Jacob's. Like, all the
- 16:31Speaker 2: stuff does start to add up, and you see it
- 16:33Speaker 2: there with that perfect lineup when you go back, was
- 16:35Speaker 2: there anything else there needs you have with it.
- 16:37Speaker 1: On that one? And then I'll go to Matt. Nope,
- 16:39Speaker 1: all good, Matt, anything you saw with that? I mean,
- 16:42Speaker 1: obviously this is the perfect lineup.
- 16:43Speaker 2: You can see where doubtll a cham Booty, Pickens, JSN
- 16:47Speaker 2: all that stuff. All we oftentimes try and show off
- 16:50Speaker 2: is like, if you're not on something here, like if
- 16:54Speaker 2: you're not on Carolina because they're down the board, maybe
- 16:56Speaker 2: you're on Doubt All. If you're not playing Wicks, crab Doabbs,
- 17:01Speaker 2: any of those guys, maybe you're on Jacob's right.
- 17:04Speaker 1: If you're not on Hunter, Henry and Diggs, maybe you're
- 17:07Speaker 1: on Booty.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Like it seems like they always we were always in
- 17:10Speaker 2: the right place, but sometimes on the wrong players. And
- 17:13Speaker 2: you probably have experienced that a ton in DFS, and
- 17:16Speaker 2: maybe you could talk to that a little bit as well.
- 17:18Speaker 3: Yeah, totally.
- 17:19Speaker 5: I've never really broken it down that way or heard
- 17:21Speaker 5: it broken down that way, but I think that's a
- 17:24Speaker 5: really good way to kind of put the puzzle pieces together,
- 17:29Speaker 5: just in a like a metatorical sense, like the way
- 17:34Speaker 5: you broke it down, where if you're not playing that stack,
- 17:36Speaker 5: pick out a piece of the top offenses, et cetera.
- 17:40Speaker 5: For me, the biggest thing that stood out looking at
- 17:42Speaker 5: the perfect lineup kind of ties into ownership. And when
- 17:45Speaker 5: you were talking about him, I wasn't sure if you
- 17:48Speaker 5: were surprised at his ownership or not.
- 17:50Speaker 3: I was surprised at how highly owned JSN was.
- 17:53Speaker 5: Maybe that was to my own peril, but I certainly
- 17:56Speaker 5: thought Pooka, at least from reading stuff and listening to
- 18:00Speaker 5: stuff throughout the week, was going to be the highest
- 18:02Speaker 5: owned player. He was still pretty highly owned, but chass
- 18:05Speaker 5: End was significantly higher.
- 18:07Speaker 3: I think a lot of.
- 18:07Speaker 5: That had to do with Lawrence being highly owned and
- 18:10Speaker 5: Brian Thomas, etc.
- 18:12Speaker 3: People wanting a run back, not saying it was a
- 18:14Speaker 3: bad play at all. Certainly it's an amazing play, because
- 18:17Speaker 3: he's amazing. I was surprised at how highly owned he was.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Though, yeah, the biggest thing, so it didn't really shock me.
- 18:23Speaker 2: And what I kept talking about all weekend with the
- 18:25Speaker 2: with starting with Leverage Lane and then it bled into
- 18:27Speaker 2: Sunday and talking about it on the main show was
- 18:29Speaker 2: just how it was very clear to me that Williams
- 18:33Speaker 2: was moving up the board. I think he ended up
- 18:34Speaker 2: being the fourth highest own or third highest sole. He
- 18:36Speaker 2: was up there for sure.
- 18:38Speaker 1: And then the I.
- 18:38Speaker 5: Heard you talk about that, what's that? I heard you
- 18:41Speaker 5: talk about that, how Williams was Gaining's team and how
- 18:43Speaker 5: you thought that might pull into Puka, and maybe I.
- 18:47Speaker 1: Wanted to clarify myself. So I kept telling people that.
- 18:49Speaker 2: I was like, I know it's not going to like
- 18:50Speaker 2: moonwalk him, but it's going to hold him in check
- 18:53Speaker 2: where he's not going to get out of hand. And
- 18:55Speaker 2: clearly what happened is, like you said, as Herbert and
- 18:58Speaker 2: Lawrence became more popopular, it wasn't as much of the
- 19:03Speaker 2: Drake May Diggs Olave stuff people were expected in those lineups. Yes,
- 19:07Speaker 2: that was what you saw, but because it was moving
- 19:09Speaker 2: more too, now you needed to pay up for Brian
- 19:13Speaker 2: Thomas Junior like you.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Said, or a little bit for Lawrence and Herbert over
- 19:16Speaker 1: the other.
- 19:16Speaker 2: Start, those types of lot like Buka, other guys were
- 19:19Speaker 2: coming into play. I think people started to see it
- 19:21Speaker 2: like I saw it, and it was JSN. If you're
- 19:23Speaker 2: not getting to Puka, you better still get JSN. He's
- 19:26Speaker 2: the next best thing. And he's literally Puka for eleven
- 19:29Speaker 2: hundred dollars cheaper. Even before the results hit the board,
- 19:32Speaker 2: and obviously a Puka played a full game yesterday, there
- 19:34Speaker 2: was a high chance. I mean he came down on
- 19:36Speaker 2: his injury off what could have been a touchdown, So
- 19:38Speaker 2: it's like there could have been a lot more to
- 19:40Speaker 2: that Puka Day. It's just that's what happens when you
- 19:42Speaker 2: get these injuries, and it's been pretty wild to start
- 19:44Speaker 2: of the season for wide receiver one injuries as a whole,
- 19:47Speaker 2: so it's not ideal.
- 19:49Speaker 5: Just going back to that real quick, that was my
- 19:51Speaker 5: biggest mistake on the slate. I played four lineups and
- 19:55Speaker 5: I faded the Rams not because I thought they wouldn't
- 19:58Speaker 5: score it, but just because I thought they were really
- 19:59Speaker 5: good plays is all over the place and didn't need
- 20:01Speaker 5: to play them. I didn't play js N because I
- 20:06Speaker 5: didn't play Seattle or Jacksonville. I didn't really think and
- 20:10Speaker 5: again this was me kind of overlooking him in general
- 20:13Speaker 5: that he was gonna be like the highest owned player
- 20:16Speaker 5: on the slate.
- 20:16Speaker 3: I was completely off on that.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the slate dynamics. It's always the thing, right,
- 20:22Speaker 1: you don't we don't know what we don't know. We
- 20:24Speaker 1: have to put as totally predictive behind it as we can.
- 20:26Speaker 2: But that's sort of the It's definitely one of the
- 20:29Speaker 2: biggest reasons I love doing the Leverage Lane show now
- 20:31Speaker 2: with Alex on Saturday is because it's another check in point,
- 20:35Speaker 2: whereas before I always get in my favorite shows on
- 20:37Speaker 2: the Sunday Show with Hoop and title and breaking it
- 20:39Speaker 2: all down game day like right before and finalizing thoughts
- 20:42Speaker 2: and making my little notes as we go along and
- 20:44Speaker 2: things like that. But in general, this this show on
- 20:47Speaker 2: Saturday has helped me huge with starting to see the
- 20:50Speaker 2: slate even more clear. And I know a lot of
- 20:53Speaker 2: people are I'll just say it straight up, Becau, It's true.
- 20:56Speaker 2: I know a lot of people have lost a lot
- 20:58Speaker 2: leading into you know week and you know, and it's
- 21:01Speaker 2: because not everyone can win. But you got to remember
- 21:03Speaker 2: with NFL, you're playing for like one good slate, Like
- 21:06Speaker 2: it could be one good slate, Matt, you want a
- 21:09Speaker 2: bunch of money over.
- 21:09Speaker 5: One week's In general, I feel like, especially when you're
- 21:13Speaker 5: only playing tournaments, go ahead.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Sorry, no, you're right, and you nailed it.
- 21:16Speaker 2: It is DFS in general, But because it's an NFL show,
- 21:18Speaker 2: I was just keeping it there but just noting it
- 21:20Speaker 2: as we get the news that Pooka is expected to
- 21:22Speaker 2: miss one to two weeks now, just noting it. It's
- 21:25Speaker 2: not rude or against you, my boy, I'm saying, but
- 21:28Speaker 2: like you might not win the rest of the NFL season,
- 21:31Speaker 2: but that one week was huge like, that's a quarter
- 21:33Speaker 2: million dollars in one week. It's what we play for
- 21:36Speaker 2: and that's what turns it around in one slate. So
- 21:38Speaker 2: if you're out there right now and you're like, well,
- 21:41Speaker 2: NFL sucks, I'm down three grand to start the season,
- 21:44Speaker 2: I know that exists for a lot of people. You
- 21:46Speaker 2: could win ten grand tonight, you could win ten grand
- 21:49Speaker 2: next Sunday.
- 21:50Speaker 1: You could win fifty grand.
- 21:51Speaker 2: Show up to our guy Rick Rick ten Bush from
- 21:54Speaker 2: from Mastermind and from ship In Nation. He won fifty
- 21:56Speaker 2: grand yesterday. Huge day for him, and he's still come
- 21:59Speaker 2: for the six figure score. But I tell you what
- 22:01Speaker 2: a fifty grand score certainly helps. We've had one hundred k,
- 22:04Speaker 2: one hundred k, and now a fifty k in back
- 22:06Speaker 2: to back to back weeks that ship a Nation from
- 22:08Speaker 2: members of the community. But that's one person winning it.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Your turn could be next, maybe it won't be, but
- 22:14Speaker 2: you're always working to get better and that's why you're
- 22:16Speaker 2: here watching something like this. And to Matt's point, that's
- 22:18Speaker 2: DFS as a whole, especially when you're just playing tournaments.
- 22:21Speaker 1: If you don't like the swings, you would.
- 22:23Speaker 2: Really want to focus on cash games and hire higher
- 22:27Speaker 2: dollars smaller field, and really that's a risk in itself
- 22:30Speaker 2: because then you could be playing against better players. So
- 22:32Speaker 2: maybe just smaller fields normal buyings might be better for you.
- 22:35Speaker 1: But nay, it's anything to add on that. I mean,
- 22:37Speaker 1: it's obviously part of the game, but I think that's
- 22:38Speaker 1: important to note.
- 22:40Speaker 4: Yeah, that's I mean again, you're you're gonna lose more
- 22:43Speaker 4: times than you're gonna win. That's just the nature of
- 22:44Speaker 4: the game, right, But you gotta be able to use
- 22:47Speaker 4: the content, you gotta stay with it. That's why it's
- 22:49Speaker 4: so important to be a part of a community. And
- 22:51Speaker 4: we like to be biased and think our community is
- 22:53Speaker 4: the best and the most affordable for people. But obviously
- 22:56Speaker 4: that's up to you to kind of decide there. But
- 22:58Speaker 4: you have to be in the game too to be
- 23:00Speaker 4: able to win at the game, right, I mean, all
- 23:03Speaker 4: it takes is I mean, you could play literally thirty
- 23:06Speaker 4: dollars on a Sunday and have a chance to win
- 23:09Speaker 4: upwards of close to hunter grand with some of these contests, right,
- 23:13Speaker 4: And that's where I've been kind of tweaking my process
- 23:15Speaker 4: thanks to Tamble and working kind of behind the scenes
- 23:18Speaker 4: on things like that. Right, Just running uniques. Historically, I
- 23:21Speaker 4: ran I kind of always did a five max, right,
- 23:24Speaker 4: and I would run my five macs across different single
- 23:26Speaker 4: entries and just hope that those five teams that I'm
- 23:29Speaker 4: building are kind of the nuts. Right. Well, after talking
- 23:32Speaker 4: with that, kind of looking at these contests, right and
- 23:34Speaker 4: just spreading it out more, right, it doesn't mean I'm
- 23:37Speaker 4: playing more buy ins. I'm just playing more lineups across
- 23:40Speaker 4: my portfolio because I would rather ship one contest than
- 23:45Speaker 4: min cash or just miss the cash in five duplicate
- 23:49Speaker 4: lineups across five different contests, things like that. So taking
- 23:52Speaker 4: a look at that in your process, right, is a
- 23:54Speaker 4: good way to kind of take a look at it.
- 23:56Speaker 4: And again, all takes is one week, All takes his
- 23:58Speaker 4: one showdown, It takes it is this, but you have
- 24:01Speaker 4: to be in the game to be able to have
- 24:04Speaker 4: that chance at that big So staying within your means
- 24:07Speaker 4: and realizing that the first couple of weeks of the
- 24:09Speaker 4: NFL season are basically preseason, right because these guys don't play.
- 24:12Speaker 4: So then you get into weeks five, six, seven, the
- 24:15Speaker 4: buys start happening, injuries start happens, those things shake up
- 24:17Speaker 4: a little bit. Once you kind of get Week eight
- 24:19Speaker 4: and beyond is when start things start getting more solidified,
- 24:22Speaker 4: right your DVP gets updated. The Stone is a great
- 24:24Speaker 4: tool obviously for Shipping Nation subscribers that has all of
- 24:27Speaker 4: that in one place. That's why we think it's the
- 24:30Speaker 4: best place to be in the industry. You'll see that
- 24:33Speaker 4: right with the report cards on there now. But if
- 24:35Speaker 4: I can give one piece of advice, it's you don't
- 24:37Speaker 4: always have to play more buy ins. You can play
- 24:40Speaker 4: more lineups within your portfolio with the same buy in.
- 24:43Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people find success.
- 24:44Speaker 2: Like I said, we got one hundred plus ten thousand
- 24:46Speaker 2: dollars winners, We've got a thousand plus thousand dollars winners.
- 24:48Speaker 1: We got four million Maaker winners.
- 24:50Speaker 2: You can watch the story for Dalton and Chris here,
- 24:52Speaker 2: both in football, Golf, Our Guys Scars. The most recent
- 24:55Speaker 2: my man Mark won a million in showdown with NFL. Like,
- 24:58Speaker 2: there's lots of people having success. Try it out five
- 25:01Speaker 2: days for nineteen dollars with code ship nineteen.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Let's go to the twenty dollars milli.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Maker and they finally got it updated this week, so
- 25:08Speaker 2: we can check some stuff out here, which is exciting
- 25:11Speaker 2: actually came first and fifth with two completely different lineups.
- 25:14Speaker 2: This one was a Daniel Jones in fifth with Daniel
- 25:17Speaker 2: Jones and Josh Downs. And then the first place lineup
- 25:21Speaker 2: was here. It was a tight window three points there.
- 25:24Speaker 2: But this was the lineup Matt, and I'll let you
- 25:26Speaker 2: break this one down first. But it was a Drake
- 25:28Speaker 2: May with Booty. It was Jacob's Williams Dowdell at the
- 25:34Speaker 2: running back positions or at the three were using three
- 25:37Speaker 2: running backs, including the flex.
- 25:38Speaker 1: It had Pickens across from Dowdell.
- 25:41Speaker 2: It had the Indie d against Arizona, and then it
- 25:45Speaker 2: had Meyer at tight end and JSN at wide receiver.
- 25:49Speaker 2: And I get like, obviously these are very close to
- 25:51Speaker 2: the optimals and et cetera, et cetera, but we try
- 25:54Speaker 2: and look at it just from a perspective of like
- 25:55Speaker 2: how they got there, what they saw, how they built.
- 25:57Speaker 2: And I'll say the first thing Dowdell in the fleck
- 26:00Speaker 2: with Jacob's in the running back position. So it's like, again,
- 26:03Speaker 2: people aren't even looking at this stuff and you can
- 26:06Speaker 2: still get to the top.
- 26:06Speaker 1: So it's just a note. That's that's one thing for
- 26:08Speaker 1: sure that I see that stands out right away.
- 26:11Speaker 5: Yeah, for me, what stands out is a lot different
- 26:14Speaker 5: than last week. Right, Like we talked about a Chan
- 26:17Speaker 5: and how good he was. He was so low owned
- 26:20Speaker 5: he didn't even need him here because he had Bote
- 26:23Speaker 5: who was solo owned, who nutted. You know, he had
- 26:26Speaker 5: low owned players that were really really good, so he
- 26:30Speaker 5: didn't need a Chan. He didn't need Vegas or the
- 26:33Speaker 5: rams D because neither of those d's were crazy highly owned.
- 26:37Speaker 5: He got mostly everything right and the stuff that he got,
- 26:42Speaker 5: like really really right were his low owned plays, which
- 26:46Speaker 5: helps a lot. So he played the chalk JSN doubt all.
- 26:49Speaker 5: Both those guys were guys you needed. But he was
- 26:52Speaker 5: able to survive or get to the top without the
- 26:55Speaker 5: top D without a CHAN because Bute was so low owned.
- 27:00Speaker 5: Pickens was that's really low owned in the twenty dollars
- 27:02Speaker 5: million maker for a good sixty eight hundred wide receiver.
- 27:05Speaker 3: So yeah, obviously a really good lineup took down the
- 27:09Speaker 3: million Maker.
- 27:09Speaker 5: Certainly not someone that is probably playing professionally or something
- 27:14Speaker 5: like that, because like you said, he did not play
- 27:16Speaker 5: Jacobs in the flex. Ultimately it didn't matter, and most
- 27:19Speaker 5: of the time it's not gonna matter. But you don't
- 27:21Speaker 5: want to box yourself into that hole because sometimes it might.
- 27:24Speaker 5: So yeah, really really good lineup. Surprising to me that
- 27:29Speaker 5: neither a Chan or one of the Rams or Raiders
- 27:32Speaker 5: weren't in the lineup. But again that goes to Boute
- 27:36Speaker 5: and Pickens being bouta really lowaned in Pickens being low owned.
- 27:40Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, and even with like May getting up
- 27:42Speaker 2: there in a little bit like everyone Like this is
- 27:44Speaker 2: another prime example, like we talked, I always call it
- 27:46Speaker 2: the slice and dice and Nats loves this one.
- 27:48Speaker 1: But it's like, this is the whole point.
- 27:49Speaker 2: Like even if you're like, well, that technically is chalk
- 27:51Speaker 2: for a quarterback, Like, yes, it gets spread out.
- 27:54Speaker 1: I'll use the same example as always. I'm gonna round
- 27:56Speaker 1: it down to ten.
- 27:57Speaker 2: If there was a hundred people in a room and
- 28:00Speaker 2: ninety of them left the room, there's only ten of you, Like,
- 28:03Speaker 2: it's literally not as much as what you think, and
- 28:05Speaker 2: you could put it however you want. But even if
- 28:07Speaker 2: you still don't believe or like my case that I'm making,
- 28:10Speaker 2: he has a special one percenter there with him to
- 28:13Speaker 2: make it completely different. That actually sets it off and
- 28:16Speaker 2: still puts him in a much different room even when
- 28:19Speaker 2: eighty eight people leave the room in twelve stand he
- 28:22Speaker 2: has a secret recipe for how he's gonna get to
- 28:24Speaker 2: leave that room and be the last one standing. And
- 28:26Speaker 2: it's right here in the one percent pairing. So little
- 28:28Speaker 2: things like that matter so much more. There still was a.
- 28:31Speaker 1: Lot of lower on plays.
- 28:32Speaker 2: I'm even surprised with late swap with everything that Meyer
- 28:35Speaker 2: didn't get more ownership, Like four point eight is pretty solid.
- 28:38Speaker 2: I thought my guy Hoop, our guy Hoop yesterday made
- 28:40Speaker 2: a really strong point about that.
- 28:42Speaker 1: Was like even when Bauers was there, he had a role.
- 28:44Speaker 2: And so when you think about that at thirty one hundred,
- 28:46Speaker 2: that makes a ton of things work, even if you
- 28:49Speaker 2: didn't get to booty. And to be honest, think about this,
- 28:51Speaker 2: we know most people that play aren't playing one hundred
- 28:55Speaker 2: and fifty lineups in the twenty dollars, So it's not
- 28:57Speaker 2: really about a portfolio. It's like how did they build
- 28:59Speaker 2: their lineup, But it's not about the best score like
- 29:02Speaker 2: two oh five can win you a bunch yesterday and
- 29:04Speaker 2: a lot of satellites and smaller fields and all that stuff.
- 29:07Speaker 2: So this is the nut nut lineup to get to
- 29:09Speaker 2: the top, not quite the optimal to.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Get their nads.
- 29:12Speaker 2: But you could have moved off of pieces here and
- 29:14Speaker 2: got something else slightly wrong and still got there. Right,
- 29:17Speaker 2: that's my point. So what do you see here in
- 29:19Speaker 2: nads with this or anything you want to add?
- 29:21Speaker 4: Yeah, so I looked at his exposures. He built eight
- 29:24Speaker 4: teams or heel or she whoever it is here, it's
- 29:27Speaker 4: definitely a handbuilder eight lineups. Handbuilding strictly tells me just
- 29:31Speaker 4: with the Jacobs in the running back position, whereas the
- 29:34Speaker 4: flex ninety nine percent of optimizers out there will automatically
- 29:37Speaker 4: put your latest guy into the flex there. So that's
- 29:40Speaker 4: kind of there. And I looked at his exposures a
- 29:42Speaker 4: little bit, and he picked his game environment. So kudos
- 29:44Speaker 4: to them for picking the game environments. They were heavily
- 29:48Speaker 4: exposed into the Carolina Dallas game. Right. They had Dak
- 29:52Speaker 4: over half of their I think five of their eight
- 29:55Speaker 4: lineups were either Dak or Bryce Young, right, and then
- 30:00Speaker 4: the one lineup that they played Drake may ended up
- 30:02Speaker 4: being the nuts to get to the top. That's just
- 30:05Speaker 4: the way it kind of goes there. But I will
- 30:07Speaker 4: talk about the Michael Mayer piece because Ashton Gentry yesterday
- 30:12Speaker 4: was coming in projected to be one of the highestone
- 30:15Speaker 4: running backs. He came in as the seventh overall in
- 30:18Speaker 4: the twenty dollars million maker over twenty percent. If he's
- 30:22Speaker 4: not getting there, and you're not playing them because you
- 30:24Speaker 4: already have three running backs that you want to play, right,
- 30:26Speaker 4: Josh Jacobs, you're playing the Rico Daldo can't miss spot right,
- 30:30Speaker 4: and then you're leveraging the Pooka nakua with the Kirn. Well,
- 30:33Speaker 4: if Gentry's not beating those guys, well, maybe it's Michael Mayer.
- 30:37Speaker 4: Right at a onesie position in the flex, you're not
- 30:40Speaker 4: playing Hunter Henry in the drake maystack right, So picking
- 30:43Speaker 4: up the end zone, you're kind of double leveraging the field, right,
- 30:46Speaker 4: whether they realized they were doing it or not, right,
- 30:49Speaker 4: That's kind of what I see is Michael Mayer had
- 30:51Speaker 4: a role before, like Coop talked about, right, you knew
- 30:54Speaker 4: when people were playing the Raiders, they were going to
- 30:57Speaker 4: Jacoby Myers or Gentry going to Michael Mayer, who, Hey,
- 31:01Speaker 4: guess what he can score just as often in the
- 31:03Speaker 4: red zone. Right, big tight end, big body. They like
- 31:06Speaker 4: this guy, Why can't it be him? Right to knock
- 31:10Speaker 4: gentry down the board. Keep my running backs that I'm
- 31:13Speaker 4: playing above him, right to give me a chance to
- 31:15Speaker 4: the top of the leader board. So I didn't want
- 31:17Speaker 4: to call it that one piece too. And then the
- 31:19Speaker 4: JSN piece. A lot of people talk about this is
- 31:24Speaker 4: JSN is literally I mean, you talk about it Puka, right,
- 31:27Speaker 4: But I look at the I looked at the overall
- 31:29Speaker 4: receiving stats on the year. JYSN is averaging almost ten
- 31:32Speaker 4: targets a game that's like less than a target less
- 31:35Speaker 4: It's like within a target of what Puka Nikua is averaging.
- 31:39Speaker 4: He's thirteen hundred dollars or eleven hundred dollars cheaper in
- 31:42Speaker 4: an offense that passes seventy percent of the time. Right,
- 31:44Speaker 4: And they don't like their running backs that they have
- 31:46Speaker 4: in Seattle, right, Kenneth Walker Charbonnet this and that. I mean,
- 31:50Speaker 4: the report card on the stone shows you seventy percent
- 31:52Speaker 4: pass rate for a team that is on the road
- 31:56Speaker 4: as underdogs against a D minus pass defense. Right. So
- 32:00Speaker 4: this guy is an alpha receiver. You don't need to
- 32:02Speaker 4: run him back, you don't need to stack him. He
- 32:04Speaker 4: can just be your guy, regardless of if he would
- 32:06Speaker 4: have got there. This week or not right, it was
- 32:08Speaker 4: the way it shook out for the roster, So didn't
- 32:12Speaker 4: want to hit on that additional piece to kind of
- 32:13Speaker 4: piggyback off of what Matt was saying overall, looking at
- 32:16Speaker 4: the slate yesterday, of realizing Jackson Smith why he was
- 32:20Speaker 4: kind of is owned as he would have or as
- 32:24Speaker 4: owned as he was overall, but overall really good building.
- 32:28Speaker 4: I like the way he built his portfolio with his
- 32:30Speaker 4: eight teams going in on his spots, knowing he was
- 32:32Speaker 4: up against a field of one hundred and sixty one
- 32:34Speaker 4: thousand people.
- 32:35Speaker 2: The JAD appening after you now because there's no r
- 32:38Speaker 2: ingentee and so they're correct.
- 32:41Speaker 4: I'm the worst. Everybody knows from the hockey breakdowns and this.
- 32:44Speaker 4: I mean, you want to talk about trying to pronounce names,
- 32:46Speaker 4: go to and pronounce hockey guys, but I'm terrible with pronunciations.
- 32:51Speaker 1: So let me let me stop for two seconds, because
- 32:53Speaker 1: I actually have a thought.
- 32:54Speaker 2: This has been creeping into my own mind, and I
- 32:55Speaker 2: don't like to react to smaller samples ever, and I
- 32:59Speaker 2: literally think that it's just I don't know what it is,
- 33:02Speaker 2: whether it's wait, like more information comes out, the pricing
- 33:04Speaker 2: gets tighter.
- 33:04Speaker 1: I've talked about this a ton for people to follow.
- 33:07Speaker 2: My stuff, but I never win an NFL until like
- 33:10Speaker 2: week seven and beyond.
- 33:11Speaker 1: It's like just the way it always where.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Every year I've had big scores, live final stuff on
- 33:15Speaker 2: hundred K scores, all this stuff, and it seems to
- 33:18Speaker 2: always happen, and I'll wait for it and be patient.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Last year could have been a lot better, but it's
- 33:22Speaker 2: like when I do have a big score, it's almost
- 33:24Speaker 2: always after the first six seven weeks.
- 33:26Speaker 1: Like that's just the way it goes. And I don't
- 33:29Speaker 1: know why that is.
- 33:31Speaker 2: And one of the things I thought about, and Matt,
- 33:32Speaker 2: I'm gonna kick this to you and get your thoughts
- 33:34Speaker 2: on this, but I talk about this so often and
- 33:37Speaker 2: especially with handbuilds, and I still don't think it's it's again.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Right or wrong whatever. It's more like it's completely subjective.
- 33:43Speaker 2: But I'm saying I always talk about like the parlay
- 33:46Speaker 2: build out right, Like it's like you get a stack
- 33:48Speaker 2: that's one thing, you get a secondary stack that's a
- 33:51Speaker 2: second thing, you get another secondary stack that's the third thing,
- 33:54Speaker 2: and they're like, if you need the fourth thing to happen,
- 33:55Speaker 2: like that's a really good build. But sometimes to like
- 33:58Speaker 2: Naz's point there, you can like Drake May and Booty
- 34:01Speaker 2: is one, ric o'doubtle and Pickens is two, but after
- 34:07Speaker 2: that it's like Indianapolis D versus Jacoby Brissett. Sure, and
- 34:12Speaker 2: mind you that was good leverage the other way Brissette
- 34:14Speaker 2: actually worked out Meyer as a fill in makes sense.
- 34:17Speaker 1: JSN. You can play them as a one off.
- 34:19Speaker 2: That's fine if there is somewhat to like combining Williams
- 34:23Speaker 2: and JSN, because it's like you're not going Puka, You're
- 34:26Speaker 2: going Jasn instead. So even if you count that as
- 34:28Speaker 2: one together, you still land on six another good spot
- 34:32Speaker 2: of Jacob's in my example, like you still have kind
- 34:34Speaker 2: of like six things you need to happen here. But
- 34:36Speaker 2: the thing is they're like so likely to happen for
- 34:39Speaker 2: some of them, Like they're such good spots, like the
- 34:41Speaker 2: Jacob spot, the jas and so well they always work out. No,
- 34:44Speaker 2: but I think sometimes my thought process is just speaking
- 34:47Speaker 2: out loud me in a bit vulnerable.
- 34:49Speaker 1: Is I actually think I'm.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Overthinking the correlations and stuff a little too much, especially
- 34:55Speaker 2: maybe early in the season where we know less and
- 34:59Speaker 2: like more stuff can just happen randomly, so well, it
- 35:02Speaker 2: makes a ton of sense on paper. You're like, damn,
- 35:04Speaker 2: this didn't go on my favorite that. Do you have
- 35:06Speaker 2: any thoughts on that?
- 35:06Speaker 1: Matten? Did that make sense what I'm putting out there?
- 35:09Speaker 3: Yeah, it totally makes sense.
- 35:10Speaker 5: I think that kind of goes back to what I
- 35:11Speaker 5: said when I mentioned that I didn't play the rams
- 35:13Speaker 5: and how on any NFL slate, even a ten gamer
- 35:17Speaker 5: like this one where we had some teams on by
- 35:20Speaker 5: two Monday night games, a London game, there's still gonna
- 35:23Speaker 5: be wouldn't say an infinite but a lot of really
- 35:27Speaker 5: good plays. You just think about it, and I like
- 35:29Speaker 5: to think about it if I were doing like a
- 35:32Speaker 5: like a fantasy draft of all the players on the slate,
- 35:35Speaker 5: like with correlation not really mattering, there's gonna be a
- 35:38Speaker 5: lot of good players to pick from now. To get
- 35:41Speaker 5: to the top of DFS tournaments, oftentimes you need that correlation.
- 35:44Speaker 5: But when you've got a one percent guy like Boute
- 35:48Speaker 5: given you like one of the best wide receiver scores
- 35:51Speaker 5: on the slate, you have leeway and a lot of
- 35:54Speaker 5: other spots. Now to get to the all the way
- 35:57Speaker 5: to the top, you need the jsns. You need the
- 35:59Speaker 5: doubt you need the Myers, you need the Pickens. But
- 36:02Speaker 5: when you have those guys, like you're able to use
- 36:06Speaker 5: NDSD instead of the Raiders or Rams, you're able to
- 36:09Speaker 5: not have a Chan and have Kyron Williams or whoever
- 36:12Speaker 5: else instead. Like this lineup, I think sets itself apart
- 36:17Speaker 5: because of not like the real reason is boutet.
- 36:22Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree on hundred percent, and that's why, like
- 36:24Speaker 2: I said, like I guess my my takeaway too is
- 36:26Speaker 2: when you think about it, Like this line for sure
- 36:29Speaker 2: from our guy Sean, who was on the show with
- 36:31Speaker 2: us recently appreciate him. He says, some of these million
- 36:33Speaker 2: Maaker winners are so obvious, I feel dumb or not
- 36:36Speaker 2: landing on it. I wouldn't feel dumb, first of all,
- 36:38Speaker 2: but second of all, I would say that I think
- 36:39Speaker 2: that's what gets in our head. And that's where I
- 36:41Speaker 2: always hear people say, you know, I've got all I
- 36:43Speaker 2: was on, all the right guys, just in all the
- 36:45Speaker 2: wrong places.
- 36:46Speaker 1: You're seeing the one person.
- 36:48Speaker 2: That got the exact pieces in the right place. There's
- 36:51Speaker 2: everybody else not get all the right place, had all
- 36:54Speaker 2: the right pieces, just not in the right place, and
- 36:55Speaker 2: all these people.
- 36:56Speaker 1: Bing ming Ming Ming, Ming, Ming Ming, and all these people.
- 36:59Speaker 2: Had a ton of right shit in the wrong place
- 37:01Speaker 2: because five grand versus a million over you know, two
- 37:05Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen versus two hundred and twenty seven points,
- 37:07Speaker 2: so you know, twelve points can come from anywhere. It's
- 37:11Speaker 2: and this is our guy over at Shipper Nation m
- 37:13Speaker 2: Philly ten twenty two, rocking the logo.
- 37:15Speaker 1: I think this lineup's great.
- 37:17Speaker 2: Right, You've got Dak, You've got Pickens, you got Dabdell,
- 37:21Speaker 2: You've got Williams, You've got lad and Gadson is like
- 37:23Speaker 2: a little combo pack. You've got Olave, you got the
- 37:26Speaker 2: rams D with Williams. Like this all makes perfect sense.
- 37:28Speaker 2: It just didn't get there. But everyone's saying that at
- 37:31Speaker 2: the end of it. When you look at it, you
- 37:32Speaker 2: have to remember a lot of these people have these
- 37:35Speaker 2: bigger portfolios. And again, you know, Kenny came in to
- 37:40Speaker 2: say welcome to you, Matt. It is a big favorite
- 37:42Speaker 2: of ours over a Ship and Nation. He's done stuff
- 37:43Speaker 2: with us at Mastermind as well as my first ever
- 37:46Speaker 2: interview over there. We all love Kenny so appreciate him
- 37:48Speaker 2: popping in to say what's up. And he says, we're
- 37:50Speaker 2: gonna get a chalk fail week soon. It's just been
- 37:52Speaker 2: crushing so far, and variants will eventually strike.
- 37:54Speaker 1: That's when you see. You'll see the lineup and ask
- 37:56Speaker 1: how someone got there. So, yeah, we could see that.
- 38:00Speaker 3: I think we saw a little of it this week.
- 38:02Speaker 5: Not to interrupt, but to be quite frank like, we
- 38:04Speaker 5: saw eight chan as the highest scoring running back. And
- 38:07Speaker 5: it's easy when you look at these lineups, especially at
- 38:10Speaker 5: the top lineup. You know, it's easy to think, why
- 38:12Speaker 5: didn't I make this lineup? All these guys were in
- 38:14Speaker 5: really good spots. Well what about Christian McCaffrey, who was
- 38:18Speaker 5: also in a really good spot. What about Lad McConkie,
- 38:20Speaker 5: who was also in a really good spot. It's easy
- 38:22Speaker 5: to forget about those guys and just look at the
- 38:24Speaker 5: guys who were in the lineup.
- 38:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to say something on that because I
- 38:28Speaker 2: think he nailed it. I mean, obviously those that don't know,
- 38:31Speaker 2: Kenny's playing like nosebleed Steaks.
- 38:33Speaker 1: He's in Thunderdome. He's playing all the highest Steaks stuff.
- 38:35Speaker 1: And he teased it in.
- 38:36Speaker 2: The discord this morning, even said I got a little
- 38:38Speaker 2: bit too cute going away from certain items, but just
- 38:41Speaker 2: a note like, I don't even think this week did
- 38:43Speaker 2: that well.
- 38:44Speaker 1: People just get so hyper focused on two things.
- 38:46Speaker 2: They're like, oh, Dowbling' JSN crushed, I never get there
- 38:50Speaker 2: with the chalk ice blah blah blah everything they got
- 38:52Speaker 2: to say.
- 38:53Speaker 1: First of all, Hooka thirty percent, four rushed, Jaelle Rana
- 38:58Speaker 1: twenty six percent eight an injury, sure, but four and
- 39:02Speaker 1: for these guys were probably dead to these other plays anyway.
- 39:04Speaker 1: They weren't getting there.
- 39:05Speaker 2: And then you look at the other Steam candidates in
- 39:08Speaker 2: Rashad White and Williams, Well you just saw Williams work
- 39:11Speaker 2: in that lineup sixteen and seventeen points.
- 39:14Speaker 1: No good. McCaffrey does what he always does.
- 39:17Speaker 2: If I could get twenty four points for eighty eighty
- 39:19Speaker 2: five hundred bucks eighty four hundred this week, but I
- 39:21Speaker 2: just don't think the chalk crushed this week. It's just
- 39:24Speaker 2: two pieces specifically crushed, and obviously Jacobs end up getting
- 39:28Speaker 2: I will also say this, Jacobs William or sorry Jacobs McCaffrey.
- 39:34Speaker 1: There is some late swappery to that stuff as.
- 39:36Speaker 2: Well, too, right like if you're you know, people would
- 39:39Speaker 2: have expected I think that CMC would be up there
- 39:41Speaker 2: further and then there's late swap gets added on to it,
- 39:43Speaker 2: but either way, some chalk got there.
- 39:45Speaker 5: Yes, but I do think people forget that what reason
- 39:49Speaker 5: chalk is chalk is because they're really good plays.
- 39:51Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly, and I most know that, but I
- 39:53Speaker 2: think just in general to point it out, I am
- 39:56Speaker 2: even making fun of it. I posted other thing about
- 39:58Speaker 2: like the Rico Dautle chalk smack week, because it's a
- 40:01Speaker 2: revenge spot. It's all that, but it's the guy that
- 40:03Speaker 2: we said, everyone said, we don't expect him to get
- 40:06Speaker 2: two hundred yards again, but we'll take this out of him.
- 40:08Speaker 2: And then he goes and gets over two hundred all
- 40:09Speaker 2: scrimmage again, and it's like, so anyway, the point is
- 40:12Speaker 2: people are always gonna bitch about chalk. You need to
- 40:14Speaker 2: get that out of your ears and move on because
- 40:16Speaker 2: and not Kenny, just people in general. I'm saying it too,
- 40:19Speaker 2: because the chalk didn't even smash yesterday. A couple of
- 40:22Speaker 2: the chalk, three of the chalk pieces smashed. The rest
- 40:26Speaker 2: was terrible, injured or mediocre at best. So you did
- 40:30Speaker 2: start to see lineups when you go back to the leaderboard,
- 40:32Speaker 2: like we showed you with one percenters, four percenters nine
- 40:35Speaker 2: and twelves mixed in with the chalk going to our
- 40:39Speaker 2: guy m Philly point eight nine point five, four point nine,
- 40:42Speaker 2: six point four. These lineups were right there.
- 40:45Speaker 1: Not my money.
- 40:46Speaker 2: One had vital had Frickin Flacco, had Josh Downs, Taylor Warren.
- 40:50Speaker 2: I mean, you could have slipped it around and got
- 40:52Speaker 2: different with him, but my point is there was tons.
- 40:54Speaker 1: These are not like the lineup last week.
- 40:56Speaker 2: Where the lowest owned guy was seven percent. These lineups
- 40:59Speaker 2: are to me just fine. I thought they were definitely
- 41:02Speaker 2: just fine. So two tight ender trying to get up there,
- 41:05Speaker 2: but I was gonna go to Udakow's lineup here just
- 41:07Speaker 2: because I think we'll see it again anyway. But this
- 41:11Speaker 2: was another example like Brissett with his tight end and
- 41:14Speaker 2: then Josh Downs for the injury stuff that we had
- 41:17Speaker 2: on this slate, and that's all really low owned.
- 41:20Speaker 1: But then it's like even going a step.
- 41:22Speaker 2: Further, a chan Vegas was super popular on FanDuel, but
- 41:26Speaker 2: not on DraftKings because of the thirty two hundred dollars
- 41:28Speaker 2: price tag over here, So I mean that makes sense.
- 41:30Speaker 1: But after that, Dowdell.
- 41:32Speaker 2: Ladd, Olave McCaffrey, like it was still a very well
- 41:37Speaker 2: built lineup, as you would expect within his portfolio. But
- 41:39Speaker 2: I just thought that was interesting. Naids, do you have
- 41:41Speaker 2: any thoughts on this one? I mean, this is a
- 41:43Speaker 2: it kind of goes with what I said earlier, like
- 41:46Speaker 2: once you have Jacoby McBride and Downs, while other stuff
- 41:50Speaker 2: does kind of match up a little bit, not really right,
- 41:53Speaker 2: like a chan mcconkey's the only other thing after that,
- 41:56Speaker 2: not much at all. But it's still a really good
- 41:58Speaker 2: lineup and you've already got different enough with set McBride
- 42:01Speaker 2: and Downs.
- 42:02Speaker 4: Yeah. The thing I will say about the Downs play too,
- 42:05Speaker 4: is it leverages off of Pittman, Warren and Taylor within
- 42:09Speaker 4: the same team, and you're skinny stacking quarterback at two
- 42:12Speaker 4: onesie positions. I learned that from you, Tampble talking with
- 42:16Speaker 4: you with a forty two quarterback and a fifty five
- 42:19Speaker 4: hundred dollars McBride who started the season almost seven k
- 42:23Speaker 4: right in an offense where they're they're facing us a
- 42:27Speaker 4: C plus a sea pass defense at bass right. Shout
- 42:31Speaker 4: out to the Stone for the rankings there. So that's
- 42:33Speaker 4: what I will say is you can get away with
- 42:36Speaker 4: skinny sacking quarterbacks at a onesie position, right, like a
- 42:41Speaker 4: tight end when you know it's leveraging on the other
- 42:43Speaker 4: side of the Warren game, right, the tailor, the Pittman,
- 42:46Speaker 4: all of that, and just picking who's going to speed
- 42:48Speaker 4: that game up. Well, guess what, a bomb down the
- 42:49Speaker 4: sidelines to Josh Dowens will speed that game up.
- 42:53Speaker 1: Yeah, you geting to add Matt on this one.
- 42:55Speaker 5: No, just like going to our chalk discussion real quick,
- 42:58Speaker 5: I do think that. And to your point, which was
- 43:01Speaker 5: kind of the point that I made that it wasn't
- 43:02Speaker 5: like Chalk absolutely smashed this week, but the other side
- 43:06Speaker 5: of it was like the two guys that did smash,
- 43:09Speaker 5: especially Doubtle, like you absolutely had to have. It wasn't like,
- 43:13Speaker 5: oh the Chalk was really good in that regard, like
- 43:15Speaker 5: you couldn't win anything without Doubdell.
- 43:17Speaker 2: I had a forty percent for a reason, like you
- 43:19Speaker 2: said earlier, that's exactly it. That's why he was forty percent.
- 43:22Speaker 2: It's like that's probably the one you've got to make
- 43:24Speaker 2: a decision on.
- 43:25Speaker 1: And as you know we've.
- 43:26Speaker 2: Talked about in the past and our late brother Degenerates
- 43:29Speaker 2: seventy five shot out to him, but he always said
- 43:30Speaker 2: like ownership is leverage, meaning if a guy's own make
- 43:34Speaker 2: a decision, you can go underweight undoubted because you don't
- 43:37Speaker 2: like the chalk, you can go overweight. You can lock him,
- 43:40Speaker 2: you can do you can get leverage undoubtle. If he's
- 43:42Speaker 2: thirty eight percent, you can play one hundred in your portfolio.
- 43:44Speaker 1: If you want to. And that's what I was about
- 43:46Speaker 1: to see.
- 43:46Speaker 2: I'll let you keep rolling, but I just want to
- 43:48Speaker 2: bring that up, like, I think that's important to remember
- 43:51Speaker 2: as well.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Let's just see here.
- 43:57Speaker 2: If you look like so you de cow, I show
- 43:58Speaker 2: you that lineup a second ago that was eleven in
- 44:00Speaker 2: the Millie, but that was in his portfolio that ended
- 44:02Speaker 2: up winning the Wildcat, which is a you know, another
- 44:05Speaker 2: one fifty max tournament. So he played the same set
- 44:07Speaker 2: most likely. I didn't look at all of them, but
- 44:09Speaker 2: I would assume so. But he had one hundred and
- 44:11Speaker 2: forty six unique lineups to one fifty use ninety two players.
- 44:15Speaker 1: And if you look here he went with the field undoubtle,
- 44:19Speaker 1: he had thirty eight to thirty eight.
- 44:21Speaker 2: But with McCaffrey, Oh, McCaffrey's gonna be so high owned,
- 44:25Speaker 2: he's even gonna get steamed in the in the higher
- 44:26Speaker 2: dollars stuff. Okay, let me get double the field of
- 44:29Speaker 2: that guy. Then that's what I wanted to. Did it
- 44:30Speaker 2: fully work out, yes, because he won the tournament, But
- 44:32Speaker 2: I mean it's like McCaffrey had a slate raking day.
- 44:35Speaker 1: He did enough for his money and did a.
- 44:37Speaker 2: Standard score, but he had twenty five percent leverage on Williams.
- 44:42Speaker 2: You go down and look, let me see. I mean
- 44:44Speaker 2: I already suspect this, but if we find it, where
- 44:46Speaker 2: is STUPI by salary might be easy?
- 44:49Speaker 4: Seventeen percent negative leverage on Puko, So he only had
- 44:53Speaker 4: twelve percent.
- 44:54Speaker 1: Right right, That's how I was going to show right there, Yeah, exactly.
- 44:57Speaker 1: So that's my point. It's like you're making decision, You're
- 44:59Speaker 1: you're making decisions. He doesn't have no.
- 45:00Speaker 2: Pooka, but his decision was to be overweight on Williams
- 45:03Speaker 2: underweight on Nikua's.
- 45:05Speaker 1: That's part of it as well.
- 45:06Speaker 3: So it's funny looking at this set.
- 45:09Speaker 5: I mean, anytime we talked about this tambo, like anytime
- 45:13Speaker 5: you win a tournament, it takes luck up top. But
- 45:15Speaker 5: like the only thing that really stands out as like
- 45:18Speaker 5: a really well played position or stake on this on
- 45:22Speaker 5: these exposures to me is the under on Puoka, Like
- 45:24Speaker 5: I feel like he almost was just lucky to have
- 45:26Speaker 5: that one lineup up top, which happens when you enter
- 45:28Speaker 5: one fifty.
- 45:30Speaker 2: Yeah, if you look here, this is another thing to
- 45:32Speaker 2: note in people with their portfolio, like obviously having a
- 45:34Speaker 2: lot of lineups helps being one of the.
- 45:36Speaker 1: Look for you to cow the best player in the world.
- 45:39Speaker 2: All these things help, right, And we review all this
- 45:41Speaker 2: stuff at DFS Mastermind.
- 45:42Speaker 1: I know people talked about even shit my money.
- 45:44Speaker 2: Your boy made a joke one day and said, hey,
- 45:46Speaker 2: if you want to review you decau, why don't you
- 45:48Speaker 2: come over and check our stuff out and be open
- 45:50Speaker 2: to comparing stuff and then doing some collaborations. I think
- 45:53Speaker 2: those guys do great stuff, but it's just it's more expensive.
- 45:56Speaker 1: Than some caen pay.
- 45:57Speaker 2: But at Mastermind you could start for ninety nine bucks.
- 46:00Speaker 2: And this is the most interesting. There's our guy Rick
- 46:02Speaker 2: right here as a testimonial on the page. He's been
- 46:05Speaker 2: with Mastermind since day one, won fifty grand yesterday from
- 46:09Speaker 2: with the shiber Nation logo up top, and then you
- 46:12Speaker 2: can go down here and get in for ninety nine
- 46:14Speaker 2: bucks and check it all out. We do way in
- 46:16Speaker 2: depth reviews. Nads is over there. You just did an
- 46:18Speaker 2: interview with me over there. That's where people first found
- 46:20Speaker 2: out about you. But just going back to this, in
- 46:24Speaker 2: the one fifty, McCaffrey did crush. He ended up on
- 46:27Speaker 2: the lineup, thank you, and William's good for that and
- 46:29Speaker 2: a lobby like certain guys ended up on it. But
- 46:32Speaker 2: it's not like they necessarily crushed like Javonte, you know,
- 46:36Speaker 2: Warren Tent.
- 46:37Speaker 1: Some of these guys did, some of them didn't. So
- 46:39Speaker 1: it's like that's kind of the whole point.
- 46:40Speaker 2: It's again, you got to have the right pieces go together,
- 46:43Speaker 2: and when you've got the one hundred and fifty lineups
- 46:45Speaker 2: and you know how to build like he does.
- 46:46Speaker 1: And like I said, I think he's the best in
- 46:48Speaker 1: the world.
- 46:48Speaker 2: And I got a statement on that in a second though,
- 46:51Speaker 2: my boy fantas Sin, I gotta give him credit again
- 46:53Speaker 2: and his flowers because I love that guy.
- 46:56Speaker 1: He's the man.
- 46:56Speaker 2: I've met him tons of times, We've been up to dinner,
- 46:58Speaker 2: done different events, some of his family and friends. He's
- 47:02Speaker 2: he won the million again yesterday too, So obviously it's
- 47:04Speaker 2: you're comparing two of the best in the world.
- 47:07Speaker 1: But just that's Utica's lineup. This is phantas Sin. He
- 47:10Speaker 1: got another million Maker.
- 47:11Speaker 2: He was second in the Milli t when you got
- 47:14Speaker 2: third just a two weeks ago. He got second in
- 47:16Speaker 2: that Milli Maker. He is phenomenal across all sports. And
- 47:20Speaker 2: here's his win and fourth place up top. He had
- 47:23Speaker 2: a Bryce Young lineup. So walk me through this one, Matt,
- 47:25Speaker 2: see what you see here?
- 47:27Speaker 5: Yeah, I finished fifteenth in this tournament with my best lineup,
- 47:29Speaker 5: so I was definitely looking up at fantas Sin yesterday.
- 47:34Speaker 5: Just a really really solid lineup, good plays all over
- 47:37Speaker 5: the place. Obviously a much much smaller field so you
- 47:39Speaker 5: don't need to get everything right. You know, didn't have
- 47:43Speaker 5: JSN in this lineup, did have Jacobs and Dowdell. Didn't
- 47:47Speaker 5: have Puka obviously, and I think that was the biggest
- 47:50Speaker 5: thing with udkow Set because Puka was so expensive. Being
- 47:54Speaker 5: so under the field on him allowed you such different
- 47:56Speaker 5: roster construction, so you know, that's what really set you
- 48:01Speaker 5: to a part. And obviously, as you said, he's one of,
- 48:03Speaker 5: if not the best, in the world, so props to him. Yeah,
- 48:06Speaker 5: the lineup up top and that million Maker was just
- 48:09Speaker 5: solid place all around. Didn't have the chalk that failed,
- 48:12Speaker 5: didn't have JSN, but had good other plays you know,
- 48:15Speaker 5: all over the place. So nothing that like really stands
- 48:18Speaker 5: out as being different. Just a well put together lineup
- 48:21Speaker 5: and what I have been surprised or could the fifth
- 48:25Speaker 5: lineup in this contest have finished first? Sure, but it
- 48:27Speaker 5: just happened to work out his way yesterday.
- 48:29Speaker 1: And I'll say this, like, so Kenny had brought this
- 48:31Speaker 1: up that he laughed over us.
- 48:32Speaker 2: He goes, the sims are actually proving bringbacks to be
- 48:34Speaker 2: minus ev as a whole. Think you can either go
- 48:37Speaker 2: skinny stack or onslought to stay on the right side
- 48:39Speaker 2: of the math and then the fill and the rest.
- 48:40Speaker 2: I don't, yeah, like I don't disagree on what you're
- 48:43Speaker 2: seeing and what's happening is it certainly shows more often
- 48:45Speaker 2: than not that you could just play like four guys
- 48:47Speaker 2: like I.
- 48:47Speaker 1: Keep using the sheets.
- 48:48Speaker 2: Example, when he played the four Raiders that week, it's like,
- 48:51Speaker 2: I'm not going to try and figure out Washington's mess.
- 48:53Speaker 1: I'm just gonna play four Raiders.
- 48:55Speaker 2: That happens, and then he goes sick lineup and immediately
- 48:57Speaker 2: contradicts the bringback. It's all whatever lineup up up top.
- 49:01Speaker 2: I mean, that's just gonna be a product of the
- 49:03Speaker 2: one that got there. But I don't think if you
- 49:05Speaker 2: look at every single line I'm not gonna go through
- 49:07Speaker 2: every single one, but I don't think you're gonna see
- 49:09Speaker 2: everybody doing it this way. But this lineup I thought
- 49:12Speaker 2: was really sound. Again, you got young Dowdell ted. I
- 49:15Speaker 2: think our guy Sean Sullivan who was in the chat earlier,
- 49:17Speaker 2: talked about we could do this and then played Pickins
- 49:20Speaker 2: and that's a good starting point. Then you just plug
- 49:23Speaker 2: in white Lad Warren Jacobs and if you're not playing
- 49:29Speaker 2: the Drake May stuff, with the dig stuff, with all
- 49:33Speaker 2: of that, why not just land on the New Orleans
- 49:35Speaker 2: defense down there at twenty four hundred, leave a little
- 49:38Speaker 2: bit of money on the table and run it. Even
- 49:40Speaker 2: though they didn't come through, it's still got the job
- 49:42Speaker 2: done here. And I think that's kind of the whole
- 49:44Speaker 2: point of what I talked about earlier. There's really nothing
- 49:47Speaker 2: needs The lineup's amazing. It feels like what Seawan said
- 49:50Speaker 2: earlier too, of like I feel like, how did I
- 49:52Speaker 2: not have that lineup? It's so obvious.
- 49:54Speaker 1: But because it is all just a bunch of really
- 49:56Speaker 1: good plays, but it's it wasn't overthought to be And
- 50:00Speaker 1: again he's not, you know, necessarily, he's definitely not handbuilding
- 50:02Speaker 1: this stuff out. So I can tell you that much.
- 50:04Speaker 2: But to note it, it's I think I'm overthinking, and
- 50:08Speaker 2: I'm hoping that can help myself and others learn from
- 50:11Speaker 2: it in that especially right now, like you might be
- 50:14Speaker 2: overthinking the additional correlation stuff, even though it feels better.
- 50:18Speaker 2: Let the lineup flow naturally, and when you've already got
- 50:21Speaker 2: a nine percenter and a six percenter and everything that's
- 50:25Speaker 2: there in a smaller field like this, only six hundred
- 50:27Speaker 2: and thirty four entries to kind of cut in to
- 50:30Speaker 2: your forty four percenter, and you're even building up a
- 50:33Speaker 2: four man combo like most would go young and tet
- 50:36Speaker 2: or doubtle with no young. So you're already doing like
- 50:39Speaker 2: last week, the the Justin fields with Breese Hall stuff together. No,
- 50:42Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson, you're kind of doing the inverse of that.
- 50:45Speaker 2: You can just let the good plays flow in after that.
- 50:48Speaker 2: And that was my point earlier of like, yeah, this
- 50:49Speaker 2: sa ain't two twenty seven. It's not gonna win you
- 50:51Speaker 2: the twenty dollars MILLI maker. But most people aren't going
- 50:54Speaker 2: heavy on that anyway, and two oh four two oh
- 50:57Speaker 2: three point ninety six, to be exact, would play very
- 51:00Speaker 2: well in a lot of the tournaments yesterday and do
- 51:02Speaker 2: very very well in your return on investment.
- 51:04Speaker 1: Nay's anything you got to add here?
- 51:05Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to talk about this just the overall
- 51:08Speaker 4: lineup construction standpoint yesterday because I really kind of tapped
- 51:12Speaker 4: into saber big time to to really kind of not
- 51:15Speaker 4: handle the load but really focused on the inputs right
- 51:19Speaker 4: before I kind of ran teams and used the stone
- 51:21Speaker 4: right to create a player pool and more more to
- 51:23Speaker 4: come on that. Tamble and myself are going to walk
- 51:25Speaker 4: through doing something doing that for ship Nation members and
- 51:29Speaker 4: subscribers to how how can you build a player pool
- 51:31Speaker 4: to leverage a tool like sabersim to to help you
- 51:35Speaker 4: kind of get what you what you would kind of
- 51:37Speaker 4: want instead of just clicking clicking an easy button if
- 51:40Speaker 4: you will, right of optimized. Right. But I ran my
- 51:45Speaker 4: set yesterday of my m ME and looked at my
- 51:47Speaker 4: stack exposures and my top two stacks were QB plus two,
- 51:52Speaker 4: QB plus three with no runbacks, and I was like,
- 51:56Speaker 4: I don't really understand that right, So the portfolio diversification
- 52:01Speaker 4: tool and saber shim is catching on too. Obviously, the
- 52:04Speaker 4: field and what the winning lineups are showing like, Yes,
- 52:09Speaker 4: the smaller the field, the more correlation I like. But
- 52:11Speaker 4: the larger the field in these MME contests where you're
- 52:14Speaker 4: trying to beat one hundred and sixty some thousand people, right,
- 52:18Speaker 4: most people, right, it's the whole At first correlation, nobody
- 52:22Speaker 4: did it right, Now everybody does it. So now it's
- 52:25Speaker 4: kind of finding that fine line of being over correlated
- 52:28Speaker 4: versus under correlated. When there's a ten games slate and
- 52:31Speaker 4: there's so many plays, if you force correlation every time, right,
- 52:36Speaker 4: if you don't get that correlation piece on the bringback right,
- 52:40Speaker 4: chances are there's multiple other wide receivers within that same
- 52:42Speaker 4: range or running backs that are gonna beat you, And
- 52:45Speaker 4: those lineups just automatically jumped you because you input too much.
- 52:48Speaker 4: So my point in saying this is I limited yesterday
- 52:52Speaker 4: because of how I like to normally build in my
- 52:55Speaker 4: smaller field five macs, single entries type stuff in my
- 52:59Speaker 4: MME set, And I don't know what it would have
- 53:01Speaker 4: looked like had I not done that, But that is
- 53:03Speaker 4: one thing that I've kind of learned in the SIMS
- 53:05Speaker 4: have helped me using sabersim creating the player pool of
- 53:08Speaker 4: it's okay just to do a quarterback plus two, quarterback
- 53:12Speaker 4: plus three and then fill out the other good and
- 53:14Speaker 4: have secondary correlations within the roster after that, you don't
- 53:17Speaker 4: need to run every game back. How many times have
- 53:19Speaker 4: we seen this year already where teams score thirty forty
- 53:21Speaker 4: points and the other team scorers under ten? Right, If
- 53:24Speaker 4: you force a correlation piece, you've got to strike lightning
- 53:27Speaker 4: in a bottle to hope you get the guy that
- 53:28Speaker 4: on the bringback coming back that scored the touchdown, right,
- 53:31Speaker 4: or gets the nine for one hundred and five in
- 53:34Speaker 4: one touchdown or something like that. So I didn't want
- 53:36Speaker 4: to call out that because I went through it yesterday
- 53:38Speaker 4: and saw that and kind of did my manual tweaks
- 53:41Speaker 4: a little bit, and I don't know what it could
- 53:42Speaker 4: have been or what it could have done. But I
- 53:44Speaker 4: think a lot of people are kind of realizing that
- 53:46Speaker 4: as well. And that's one thing the SIMS did talk
- 53:49Speaker 4: to me yesterday about using sabersim to see what the
- 53:52Speaker 4: roster constructions are.
- 53:54Speaker 1: Yeah, good, good points.
- 53:56Speaker 2: I mean you noted it there is definitely it's going
- 53:57Speaker 2: to be a Mastermind additions, it's my personal problems and
- 54:00Speaker 2: needs is going to help guide it through. We're going
- 54:01Speaker 2: to record that today so all Mastermind members will get that.
- 54:04Speaker 2: So I'll just note it quickly. For Shipping Nation, always
- 54:07Speaker 2: go there first. I mean ship nineteen. If you don't
- 54:09Speaker 2: even have anything set up or your own basic process yet.
- 54:12Speaker 2: We already have a ton of free education courses. It's
- 54:15Speaker 2: the DFS one oh one series, So if you click
- 54:18Speaker 2: NFL you can go see what it's all about. If
- 54:20Speaker 2: you're just starting out, I would always recommend starting there.
- 54:22Speaker 2: Mastermind is definitely not for everybody, but if you're watching
- 54:26Speaker 2: this and you're looking to actually get better, you can
- 54:27Speaker 2: go to the site and do it this way.
- 54:29Speaker 1: You go to Mastermind. You can take a free tour
- 54:31Speaker 1: if you want.
- 54:31Speaker 2: But if you go to Mastermind and see there, like
- 54:34Speaker 2: I said, it's very easy.
- 54:35Speaker 1: You click I'm ready to join.
- 54:37Speaker 2: I always say before you play another one hundred dollars,
- 54:39Speaker 2: pay less than one hundred dollars, get in. You'll get
- 54:42Speaker 2: full time access to check it all out. You get
- 54:44Speaker 2: the courses. One of the biggest things right now is
- 54:46Speaker 2: mentioned in the discord today, We've got this week and
- 54:49Speaker 2: then next week again, and then American Thanksgiving is just
- 54:52Speaker 2: around the corner, and that this is originally done for.
- 54:55Speaker 2: But if you're playing those two to four game slates
- 54:57Speaker 2: and you want to get better at them, this is
- 54:58Speaker 2: the whole point where you can take your g to
- 55:00Speaker 2: the next level and start to learn more. Talks about
- 55:02Speaker 2: how to attack a short slate by looking at the
- 55:04Speaker 2: positions and options and not just the game totals, hunting
- 55:09Speaker 2: for the head to have it, scores, correlation, overstacking, leaving salary,
- 55:13Speaker 2: all kinds of roster construction tips. If you're playing golf
- 55:16Speaker 2: and you're trying to get better, you go get lessons,
- 55:19Speaker 2: and that's how you get better. You pay for those lessons.
- 55:21Speaker 2: So I never have a problem just bringing this up
- 55:22Speaker 2: makeing sure people know about it. I think you should
- 55:24Speaker 2: always join the Nation first get access to the tools.
- 55:28Speaker 2: But this is where kind of all the other players
- 55:30Speaker 2: that are looking to level up are going to.
- 55:33Speaker 1: There's nothing like this that exists.
- 55:34Speaker 2: There essentially the Netflix of dfs where you can go
- 55:37Speaker 2: check it out. You go to ship at nation dot com,
- 55:40Speaker 2: slash Mastermind, and then later today aids and myself. We
- 55:43Speaker 2: are going to be recording are sabersim mixed with the stone,
- 55:47Speaker 2: mixed with everything to be able to show how we
- 55:49Speaker 2: personally put it all together. If you're on ship a
- 55:53Speaker 2: Nation already and you go to NFL the Stone, there
- 55:56Speaker 2: is a tutorial here on how the stone works. But
- 55:59Speaker 2: if you want want personal process and how to put
- 56:01Speaker 2: it all together from start to finish kind of done
- 56:04Speaker 2: for you, that is going to be an additional cost.
- 56:06Speaker 2: And that is what the Mastermind program is, and that's
- 56:08Speaker 2: why we have over five hundred people in the program already.
- 56:12Speaker 2: So if you're a member at shiber Nation, check it out.
- 56:14Speaker 2: Let's get back to this lineup. One thing I wanted
- 56:16Speaker 2: to look at was his portfolio fantasy in there, just
- 56:19Speaker 2: to see what he did with the Puka situation as well.
- 56:23Speaker 1: And interestingly enough, where's it at here? Almost I did?
- 56:28Speaker 1: Oh no, eight, I'm on the wrong thing. I apologize.
- 56:31Speaker 3: I want to speak a it on this lineup too.
- 56:32Speaker 2: When you're done, yeah, for sure, just one second, we'll
- 56:35Speaker 2: do that.
- 56:35Speaker 1: Just bring it up here. Pukah he was just underweight on.
- 56:40Speaker 2: And then if you go down to where was sort
- 56:42Speaker 2: of his main leverage at Rashad White sixty eight percent
- 56:47Speaker 2: Rashad White. So that was his stand and then what
- 56:49Speaker 2: did he do undoubtle in these lineups?
- 56:54Speaker 4: He massed the field with Dad all was overweight on Rashad,
- 56:57Speaker 4: was even with the field on or a little slightly
- 56:59Speaker 4: under our Buka because he was overweight on Rashad White.
- 57:02Speaker 4: So pretty much matched the field on a lot of
- 57:06Speaker 4: the guys. But it's tough when you only have when
- 57:08Speaker 4: that's nineteen rosters right in six hundred and thirty four
- 57:11Speaker 4: entries right, exposures or ownership obviously gets inflated big time.
- 57:15Speaker 2: But yeah, we'll get it in a second for one
- 57:17Speaker 2: more spot, but I'll let Matt talk about it first
- 57:19Speaker 2: while we got it up here.
- 57:20Speaker 1: Go ahead, Matt.
- 57:20Speaker 5: I just wanted to kind of sneak on it in
- 57:22Speaker 5: terms of my own lineups, because what's interesting to me
- 57:25Speaker 5: is it was like a combination of my lineups. Like
- 57:27Speaker 5: I mentioned, I played four, two of them cast one
- 57:30Speaker 5: of them finished fifteenth. The one that finished fifteenth was
- 57:34Speaker 5: a Chargers stack with ah Chan and the Okay, So
- 57:39Speaker 5: those were those two and the other two, the other
- 57:42Speaker 5: one that cash and the other kind of close one
- 57:45Speaker 5: to Cash were Bryce Young Dowbdell tech stacks. I just
- 57:48Speaker 5: didn't have Pickens and I didn't have mcconki in those
- 57:51Speaker 5: so it was almost a combination of those two lines,
- 57:54Speaker 5: which is frustrating.
- 57:55Speaker 3: To be perfectly honest, I.
- 57:57Speaker 1: Like this line up here, by the way, I did
- 57:58Speaker 1: the worst, which is hilarious.
- 58:00Speaker 2: But like you when you go all in on the
- 58:02Speaker 2: Tampa Bay San Francisco game and it gets you genty
- 58:05Speaker 2: with the defense, Like it's just like, look at this,
- 58:07Speaker 2: like all good plays and clearly owned, but it's like,
- 58:12Speaker 2: how can I put him together differently? We'll let me
- 58:14Speaker 2: play it like this.
- 58:15Speaker 1: So I think in a tournament when there's only six
- 58:18Speaker 1: hundred and.
- 58:18Speaker 2: Thirty four people, you want to talk about a lineup
- 58:20Speaker 2: that you'd be against like maybe one to two other
- 58:23Speaker 2: people with if it went that way, that would be huge, right,
- 58:26Speaker 2: So just a note like people always look at this
- 58:28Speaker 2: and say, like, holy shit, he almost won the million again.
- 58:30Speaker 2: He was up there and finished fifteenth. He won twenty
- 58:32Speaker 2: seven grand on his four lineups. This turned out to
- 58:35Speaker 2: be your better lineup yesterday. But there is nothing wrong
- 58:38Speaker 2: with a build like this, And I always talk about
- 58:40Speaker 2: these overstacks can work a lot better in a small
- 58:44Speaker 2: field because even if Juwan has fifteen and Igbuka has
- 58:48Speaker 2: twenty four and like, it doesn't quite match the other
- 58:50Speaker 2: spots of like JSNS and some of the chalkier plays
- 58:54Speaker 2: because you're in the smaller field and if everything else
- 58:57Speaker 2: goes your way, it can still overcome that and beat
- 59:00Speaker 2: it right versus in a large field that's not gonna
- 59:02Speaker 2: cut it. You're gonna need almost perfection at every spot.
- 59:05Speaker 1: But let's talk about this Herbert lineup.
- 59:07Speaker 2: Maybe because it's it's the one that did the best,
- 59:10Speaker 2: so people will care about that.
- 59:11Speaker 1: But what was your thought process?
- 59:12Speaker 2: Well, we've got here and introducing you to the team
- 59:15Speaker 2: and to the members of the community, what's your thoughts
- 59:16Speaker 2: on this lineup?
- 59:17Speaker 3: So before I.
- 59:18Speaker 5: Even give my thought process real quick, it's almost like
- 59:20Speaker 5: Nate to speak into my soul today, because the other
- 59:22Speaker 5: big mistake I made besides JSN was not playing Meyer
- 59:26Speaker 5: over Gent. There were so many good running back plays.
- 59:29Speaker 5: Meyer was like the almost the wide receiver one for
- 59:33Speaker 5: the Raiders yesterday, Like you could just have gotten Genty's
- 59:37Speaker 5: score matched unless he had like a nuclear game, which
- 59:40Speaker 5: he didn't. So I thought that was the best, like
- 59:42Speaker 5: the best point, the one that it almost that we
- 59:44Speaker 5: talked about so far on this show. For me, my
- 59:48Speaker 5: thought process building this lineup was pretty simple in the
- 59:51Speaker 5: sense that Quinton Johnson was out, so I thought Lad
- 59:54Speaker 5: and Keenan Allen were both too cheap. I didn't like
- 59:57Speaker 5: love this spot. I never loved stacking West host teams
- 1:00:00Speaker 5: going east, but Herbert is generally good enough to overcome that.
- 1:00:05Speaker 5: I thought hen was one of the best tournament plays
- 1:00:07Speaker 5: on the slate at his low ownership, and Dowdell was
- 1:00:11Speaker 5: a guy I played in three and I four. I
- 1:00:12Speaker 5: thought that he just kind of fit everywhere tees. Johnson
- 1:00:16Speaker 5: was one of my favorite cheap guys. He ended up
- 1:00:18Speaker 5: only getting there because of that late touchdown, but that's
- 1:00:20Speaker 5: what he can do. I played McBride because of exactly
- 1:00:25Speaker 5: what Nate said earlier. This was a guy that was
- 1:00:26Speaker 5: seven k earlier in the year. He wasn't getting any ownership.
- 1:00:30Speaker 5: He was affordable, and no one was going to play him.
- 1:00:32Speaker 5: Now that was kind of the mistake with JENTI If
- 1:00:35Speaker 5: I had just played Meyer and let's say Jacobs, I
- 1:00:38Speaker 5: probably would have won it. But a lot of people
- 1:00:40Speaker 5: probably had two V twos like that, so I'm not
- 1:00:42Speaker 5: sitting here like regretting it. It's just a looking back
- 1:00:45Speaker 5: on type of thing. I like the Raiders D because,
- 1:00:48Speaker 5: as you mentioned, they were getting a lot of ownership
- 1:00:50Speaker 5: on FANDLE but not as much on DK. They were
- 1:00:52Speaker 5: expensive enough where the ownership was going to be cut down.
- 1:00:55Speaker 5: And this Tennessee offense is just atrocious. So I think
- 1:00:58Speaker 5: defenses are going to be in plague. It's them pretty
- 1:01:00Speaker 5: much every week. The lineup almost just came together and
- 1:01:03Speaker 5: built itself.
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: Now do you think about this like I do for sure,
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: But I'm just curious your thoughts on Like the Tess
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: Johnson spot he obviously won, makes a lot work and
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: I know people say, well, it's crazy he got that
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: touchdown and still only got eleven, even though eleven is
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: pretty solid for thirty two hundred or eleven point five.
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: The point is more the issue here is if Herbert
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: throws one more touchdown to either guys, but especially if
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: it was Keenan Allen, you pretty much win, like because
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: whatever the yards, the catch, the both of them getting
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: the touchdown in the correlate like maybe not win, but
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: it'd be very close, and anything else could happen if
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: some butts or candies and that we know this stuff.
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: But my point being, you didn't play Rashad White, who
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: was extremely popular, even higher owned than this than anywhere else.
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: Of course, it's a you saw because a guy like
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: Fantas Sin is playing sixty eight percent of or whatever.
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: Like that, that's people are just jamming him in.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: Do you think about that, because it's not just the
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: one off that is cheap, but it's also kind of
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: a one off that leverages a running back that you're
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: not getting to. Is that a thought process as well
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: for you, you.
- 1:02:00Speaker 5: Know a little bit, but when you have a guy
- 1:02:03Speaker 5: that cheat not too much. And also there were just
- 1:02:06Speaker 5: so many good running back plays on the slate. So
- 1:02:08Speaker 5: it wasn't me saying I don't like White, I want
- 1:02:10Speaker 5: to play tes Johnson. Instead, it was more that White
- 1:02:14Speaker 5: just didn't fit this lineup, and to your point at
- 1:02:16Speaker 5: the beginning, Tes Johnson opened everything up. But to that point, though,
- 1:02:20Speaker 5: like this lineup didn't get there and wasn't perfect even
- 1:02:24Speaker 5: for this tournament. If I hadn't played you know, genty
- 1:02:28Speaker 5: and had you know Tes Johnson got there, but I
- 1:02:31Speaker 5: don't think the top lineup had Ted Johnson going back
- 1:02:34Speaker 5: on it, so he was a good play, not a
- 1:02:35Speaker 5: great play. There were certainly tweaks that could have been
- 1:02:39Speaker 5: made within this lineup, you know, the past two weeks.
- 1:02:42Speaker 5: Last week was Chris Godwin, this week was Keenan Allen.
- 1:02:45Speaker 5: I'm done with these old wide receivers, guys, I just
- 1:02:47Speaker 5: can't do it anymore.
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously you're the worst player ever because you didn't
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: just play Booty instead of Tesz Johnson, and you Rashad
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: White instead of genty and have like a perfect TV
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: two and leave a couple of bucks on the table
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: and you would have won by a million. And but yeah, no,
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: this is the whole point in going back over and
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: I thought the line. My takeaway was like, when you
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: have Herbert Ladd, Keenan, someone that actually pushes them in
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: a chan and Doubtell, that's like a very easy start
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: to say, like, feel pretty good about that. That's kind
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: of where I'm going with it to start things off.
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: I'm fine with it. Then it's like, what did these
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: last four spots look like? And it could have been
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: tons of different combinations, But obviously when you're not on
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: White having tes and opening things up, getting to an
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: expensive tight end where most are going cheaper at a
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: onesie position, whereas even most would have like some would
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: have a Gadson, someone have a long, some would have
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: a Meyer. If you're not going to Meyer here, maybe
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: it's because Genty's jamming them in and the defense is
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: doing the work with Genty, and that just kind of
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: lands you on tes. It all does make a ton
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: of sense on paper and did a hell of a job,
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: it just didn't get there. Fourteen spots short of the
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: million is going to happen you finding success in NFL
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: right now as the season moves on.
- 1:03:53Speaker 5: Yeah, and to I just want to touch on Nate's
- 1:03:55Speaker 5: point also because I think it was really like apropos
- 1:03:57Speaker 5: to what we're talking about.
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: I think that's a big reach.
- 1:04:00Speaker 5: And why runbacks are so popular is also kind of
- 1:04:03Speaker 5: why stacking has taken off in MLB. It's just so
- 1:04:06Speaker 5: easy to build that way because instead of looking at
- 1:04:09Speaker 5: the other fifteen fifty five hundred wide receivers that are
- 1:04:13Speaker 5: in that range of whatever stack you're playing against, it's
- 1:04:16Speaker 5: just easy to plug in that guy.
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: But it doesn't mean that that guy's the best play.
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: To your point.
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: Exactly, naids.
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: Any final thoughts from you, man, This is it for today.
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: It was awesome having mad On.
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: I'll leave the final words to him, just everything with
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: joining the nation, but neids any final thoughts on week
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: six slate for you.
- 1:04:33Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to make one additional point here that
- 1:04:37Speaker 4: I see. I don't even know if you've kind of
- 1:04:39Speaker 4: thought about it this way either, Matt, but with the
- 1:04:42Speaker 4: eight Chan, I get it. It's part of the Herbert
- 1:04:44Speaker 4: sack and that. But most people that are playing tes Johnson,
- 1:04:47Speaker 4: I'd be willing to better also play in CMC and
- 1:04:49Speaker 4: using that as a way to kind of unlock to
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: get to CMC as a correlated piece there, so you're
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: not only leveraging the Tesz Johnson exposure within your lineup,
- 1:04:58Speaker 4: whether you think about it or not, by using it
- 1:05:00Speaker 4: in a different way going to a chan who also
- 1:05:03Speaker 4: leverages off the expensive running back step below that to
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: allow you to get up to McBride at a onesie position. Right,
- 1:05:10Speaker 4: So little things like that too, I think people overlook
- 1:05:15Speaker 4: that agreable. Yeah, because I mean tedes Johnson came in
- 1:05:18Speaker 4: a ten percent own, which is still sixty over sixty
- 1:05:22Speaker 4: people in the contest played him. I'd be willing to
- 1:05:25Speaker 4: bet majority of those, if not almost all of them
- 1:05:28Speaker 4: are with either Rashad White in a combination of that
- 1:05:33Speaker 4: game stack right, most likely with CMC to unlock people
- 1:05:36Speaker 4: to get up to that CMC price point in a
- 1:05:39Speaker 4: small field like this, where people tend to just jam
- 1:05:42Speaker 4: the best plays right and get different in one or
- 1:05:44Speaker 4: two spots. So I did want to call that point
- 1:05:46Speaker 4: out because you didn't just not play CMC. You leveraged
- 1:05:49Speaker 4: eight Chan is gonna beat CMC tes Johnson. It just
- 1:05:52Speaker 4: kind of unlocks the roster, and most people that are
- 1:05:55Speaker 4: playing him are playing CMC.
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: Yeah, appreciate, appreciate the input. I mean, it's definitely something
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: to think about too. Is the what we talk about
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: with Alex and I on Leverage Lane, the combinations of
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: ownership and things like that. To Nad's point, there is
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: just one that happened more naturally and free flowing, but
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: there's always a ton of different ways. That's the whole
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: point of putting the puzzle together and trying to figure
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: it out and reverse engineer it to find our way
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: so that we can always be working on our game,
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: getting sharper and hopefully getting to the top.
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: That's the end goal.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: Matt. Anything from you you want to add obviously was
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: super excited to have you at ship a nation starting
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: with the NBA content. But we've got plans for NFL,
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: We've got plans for MLB, got a ton of plans
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: for the future. What's your thoughts from anything you want
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: to add before we get out of here. Thanks for
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: joining us, by the way.
- 1:06:35Speaker 5: Yeah, so I was going to save this until after
- 1:06:37Speaker 5: the show, but why not just tell the public. Also,
- 1:06:41Speaker 5: I was talking to my wife earlier this morning before
- 1:06:43Speaker 5: the show, and I've been doing shows for a long time.
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: I cannot remember the last time I was this excited
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: to do a show.
- 1:06:49Speaker 5: I'm frickin' hype to be here, hype to be doing
- 1:06:52Speaker 5: shows with you guys, hype to be in the discord.
- 1:06:55Speaker 5: It's good times right now, really good vibes.
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: Man, we're very excited to have you. I know the
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: chat and you know that's the other thing about this one.
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: We did it as like an introduction. Hopefully people will
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: jump back and watch it. We know that most people
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: like to just click buttons, make lineups and move on
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: versus actually work on their game and get better. But
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: that's why we appreciate those that do show up for
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: this one. We know you're working to get better. It's
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: what we're all about at Shipper Nation, and I'll say,
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: for sure speaking for everybody, that's why Matt is joining
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: the squad. He's obviously got a ton of success, but
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: the biggest thing for me is just the type of
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: person he is fits the mold.
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: He's just like us. He's very passionate about training, coaching, developing, teaching,
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: talking through learning him his own right, getting better via
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: being a teacher of the game. And that's why we're
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: so excited to have Matt.
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: The screenshots the success, that's awesome, that's credibility, that's reputation.
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: You've been doing this for a while, being at other places.
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: That's stochastic on other shows and whatnot. But you and
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: I vibed right away when we did that interview over
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: at Mastermind. We chatted since then. We're planning on sort
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: of working something out anyway. So I'm glad we could
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: finally make it all work, and I think it's going
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: to be truly beneficial to the ship at Nation community.
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: I know it is.
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: Thank you, man, and excited for the future ahead. That's
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: gonna do it for this one, guys, for nads for Matt,
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: and for myself totagging tambo led shipp it
