- 0:42Speaker 1: ship Nation YouTube station. Make sure to tap that thumbs
- 0:44Speaker 1: up on the way in subscribe to the channel. We
- 0:47Speaker 1: get a ton more shows coming your way. And we
- 0:49Speaker 1: were just talking pre show. Got the boys title hoop
- 0:51Speaker 1: here with me as usual, but we're just talking pre show.
- 0:54Speaker 1: The news came out last night if you didn't see it,
- 0:55Speaker 1: But there will be a two gamer on Saturday, So
- 0:58Speaker 1: there's a two games slate coming up that'll have a
- 0:59Speaker 1: nice showdown slate, I'm sure for Saturday night as well.
- 1:02Speaker 1: We've got the Sunday main slate, which is beautiful because
- 1:04Speaker 1: it's split pretty much equally, so if you like AM only,
- 1:07Speaker 1: if you want to play PM only, both all three
- 1:09Speaker 1: with the main slate, whatever you want to do. And
- 1:11Speaker 1: then of course the crazy game to end the season
- 1:14Speaker 1: that I'm super excited for, but the AFC North Battle
- 1:17Speaker 1: as the Ravens go into Pittsburgh now with a real
- 1:19Speaker 1: shot shout out to Cleveland yesterday getting the job done
- 1:22Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers being scared to take that sack and
- 1:25Speaker 1: preventing his team from winning. So that was incredible, really
- 1:28Speaker 1: good stuff over there, hoopster, what's going on?
- 1:29Speaker 2: My man?
- 1:30Speaker 1: Week seventeen, final game of the slate? We got Rams
- 1:32Speaker 1: at the Falcons, gonna break it all down, of course,
- 1:34Speaker 1: but how you doing, my friend?
- 1:36Speaker 2: Do them?
- 1:36Speaker 3: Well?
- 1:37Speaker 2: Yeah, yesterday addressing me? I guess the one thing it
- 1:40Speaker 2: only leaves us with, I don't know, three maybe meaningful games,
- 1:44Speaker 2: and they took two of them and put them on Saturday,
- 1:46Speaker 2: which creates another, you know, small two games. Slayways talked
- 1:49Speaker 2: about it. You know, get towards down to the season,
- 1:52Speaker 2: and you know, you see a lot a lot more
- 1:54Speaker 2: of these split slates. So they took two of the
- 1:55Speaker 2: two most important games. Oh there's three important games, and
- 1:58Speaker 2: they took two, put them on Saturday and then Sunday
- 2:01Speaker 2: night obviously for the Steelers and Ravens, and nothing else
- 2:05Speaker 2: really matters in terms of games from here and out.
- 2:08Speaker 2: So you know, that's one thing to definitely take note of.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Even tonight really doesn't matter all that much. I mean,
- 2:14Speaker 2: the Rams are pretty much locked into the five seed.
- 2:16Speaker 2: I think I saw something's like seventy percent chance they're
- 2:19Speaker 2: gonna be the five seed, so not a ton to
- 2:22Speaker 2: play for, but I mean I think they still, you know,
- 2:24Speaker 2: give it a go here, obviously with Stafford going for
- 2:27Speaker 2: like the MVP and and that sort of thing. But yeah,
- 2:30Speaker 2: it should be fun. I mean in terms of, like
- 2:32Speaker 2: here on out, freaking wide open. Man like it. To me,
- 2:36Speaker 2: it's it's absolutely wild, wide open. And if I was
- 2:38Speaker 2: gonna take like money and put it on one team,
- 2:40Speaker 2: I have no idea who the hell it would be
- 2:42Speaker 2: to win this whole thing. And that's gonna make it
- 2:44Speaker 2: fun really from from here and out all the way
- 2:47Speaker 2: through the Super Bowl. So I am looking forward to,
- 2:50Speaker 2: you know, the next month month and a half here
- 2:52Speaker 2: of of football. It's gonna be a lot of fun, uh,
- 2:55Speaker 2: kind of seeing who who rises at the top and
- 2:58Speaker 2: makes a run here, because it's more why open that
- 3:00Speaker 2: I've seen in years. In years, we've had these dominant
- 3:04Speaker 2: teams like the Chiefs and before that it was the
- 3:06Speaker 2: Patriots and kind of always knew they were going to
- 3:08Speaker 2: be in the mix. I'm just not seeing that this year.
- 3:10Speaker 2: So looking forward to the final stretch here, and yeah,
- 3:13Speaker 2: looking forward to talk through this game with you guys here.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Playoff's gonna be a lot of fun,
- 3:18Speaker 1: like you said, because we have the unknowns this year.
- 3:19Speaker 1: That's what makes it so exciting. Like I was looking
- 3:21Speaker 1: at the last night, these odds are just brutal as usual,
- 3:24Speaker 1: almost like touchdown odds. But the Ravens are like twenty
- 3:26Speaker 1: to one to win the super Bowl and they still
- 3:28Speaker 1: have to win a damn game to even get to it,
- 3:30Speaker 1: have to go into Pittsburgh and win and then get
- 3:32Speaker 1: into the playoffs before they'd even have a shot at all.
- 3:34Speaker 1: But it's just how wide open these things are. Obviously
- 3:37Speaker 1: a lot of challenges over on the the AFC side
- 3:39Speaker 1: of things, but the even the NFC is pretty crazy
- 3:41Speaker 1: this year. Quickly though you said it, not so fast,
- 3:45Speaker 1: my friend. There's a wild Card Weekend Monday game. Actually
- 3:49Speaker 1: it says of right now, January twelfth, the Monday will
- 3:52Speaker 1: be the last game of the wild Card Weekend. So yeah,
- 3:55Speaker 1: to see us on another Monday. You'll still see us
- 3:57Speaker 1: on a lot of Fridays and Saturdays and stuff along
- 3:59Speaker 1: the lots of good shows still coming through. But I
- 4:02Speaker 1: put the trials up on board. You don't have to
- 4:04Speaker 1: get it today if you don't want. But of note,
- 4:06Speaker 1: I would want to be.
- 4:07Speaker 4: Involved at ship a nation on Saturday.
- 4:08Speaker 1: We crushed during the preseason, and this Sunday is very
- 4:11Speaker 1: much like a preseason you mentioned it hoop, with a
- 4:14Speaker 1: lot of unknowns, a lot of randomness, and with tons
- 4:17Speaker 1: of split slates like if the early only should be
- 4:20Speaker 1: good contest, the afternoon only should be good contest, equal size,
- 4:22Speaker 1: pretty close in games. I think it's like seven and
- 4:25Speaker 1: six for thirteen games total, and then of course getting
- 4:27Speaker 1: ready for the main slate.
- 4:28Speaker 4: So definitely a good time to get involved.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Title. Bring you in man.
- 4:32Speaker 4: Rounding out Week seventeen. How you doing, my friend?
- 4:34Speaker 1: What's going on?
- 4:35Speaker 3: Doing well? What a game we got treated to last night?
- 4:39Speaker 3: I mean the offense, both offenses cannot be stopped. San
- 4:42Speaker 3: fran and the Bears excited to see what they got
- 4:44Speaker 3: to offer in the playoffs. Just before that, the Bills game,
- 4:48Speaker 3: I mean McDermott fire is ass right there on the spot.
- 4:52Speaker 3: There's no chance you should go for two in that spot.
- 4:55Speaker 3: They would have been probably seventy seventy five percent favorites
- 4:59Speaker 3: going in if you just kick that field goal seventeen
- 5:02Speaker 3: yards in the second half, and yeah, you decide to
- 5:05Speaker 3: do it on one play makes absolutely no sense to me.
- 5:08Speaker 3: These coaches remain donkeys, So that's gonna be important if
- 5:12Speaker 3: you're picking teams in the super Bowl and the playoffs,
- 5:15Speaker 3: it can come down to one or two decisions based
- 5:18Speaker 3: on the coach. And yeah, sometimes even Ben Johnson. I
- 5:21Speaker 3: love Ben Johnson, but I think his decision not to
- 5:24Speaker 3: take a time out and they hurried up it was
- 5:27Speaker 3: like forty five seconds, fifty five seconds. I think that
- 5:29Speaker 3: costed them a little bit. Allowed just one play for
- 5:32Speaker 3: the game, and I think he could add two or three.
- 5:34Speaker 3: So very little things. They add up though when teams
- 5:38Speaker 3: are very closely matched, like we'll see in the playoffs.
- 5:40Speaker 3: But yeah, tonight they have two of the best players
- 5:42Speaker 3: in the NFL, Beijon and Pooka, So this one could
- 5:45Speaker 3: be fun as well.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Yeah, lots of good conversation here as well, talking about
- 5:50Speaker 1: the golf coming up.
- 5:52Speaker 4: Golf's coming up PGA season.
- 5:53Speaker 1: We announced it on Saturday, but I know who I
- 5:55Speaker 1: hit it at a little this morning on Takedown breakdown.
- 5:57Speaker 1: We definitely have some fun stuff, very fun stuff. I'm
- 6:00Speaker 1: super pumped about this upcoming PGA season. A lot of
- 6:02Speaker 1: people asking questions about this is just one piece of it.
- 6:04Speaker 1: We will have the Leverage Lane show back starting on
- 6:07Speaker 1: January fourteenth, which is the week of the Sony Open
- 6:10Speaker 1: as it comes back through. But I think it's gonna
- 6:12Speaker 1: be a good golf season.
- 6:13Speaker 3: Head here, hoop.
- 6:14Speaker 1: We've got We've got a lot of big things that
- 6:15Speaker 1: we're gonna wait till the first week of January to
- 6:16Speaker 1: announce them.
- 6:17Speaker 4: In final We're just rounding a few things.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Up here now.
- 6:20Speaker 4: But any any comments on the golf stuff.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Yeah, very excited. I mean, you know, as soon as
- 6:25Speaker 2: we kick into the new year, the prize pools will
- 6:27Speaker 2: be back up and up and big for PGA contests.
- 6:32Speaker 2: You know, our team does a phenomenal job. And it's
- 6:34Speaker 2: not just you know, leading up to the first round.
- 6:37Speaker 2: We go all the way through with the Showdown stuff.
- 6:39Speaker 2: And the Showdown is huge, especially in this industry because
- 6:43Speaker 2: nobody's really doing good content around Showdown. A lot of
- 6:46Speaker 2: the main sites, like a lot of a lot of
- 6:48Speaker 2: the main sites that you go to that you're going
- 6:50Speaker 2: to think about going to for PGA season don't even
- 6:53Speaker 2: adjust their projections and ownership for the Showdown rounds. They
- 6:57Speaker 2: keep the same number on the.
- 6:58Speaker 5: Same guys Round one, two, three, and four, And you know,
- 7:03Speaker 5: the one thing I'll definitely say about PGA, don't just
- 7:05Speaker 5: sign up for the site that you think has, yeah,
- 7:08Speaker 5: the best projections and ownership, like, because first off, they don't.
- 7:12Speaker 2: And that's just one piece of the puzzle. Like, so
- 7:14Speaker 2: these sites that pride themselves on having the projections and
- 7:18Speaker 2: ownership that you need for PGA dfs are lying to
- 7:22Speaker 2: you because it's not the case. And that's just one
- 7:24Speaker 2: piece of the pies. Don't sign up and pay five
- 7:27Speaker 2: hundred I saw six hundred dollars and basically you're just
- 7:30Speaker 2: getting projections and ownership. Absolutely insane to pay that price tag.
- 7:36Speaker 2: You know, this is the the home for PGA dfs,
- 7:39Speaker 2: and we're improving and adding on to our product and
- 7:43Speaker 2: again this is definitely the spot to be.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I love the improvements and add ons on the way.
- 7:47Speaker 1: As far as the other stuff, I mean, we just
- 7:49Speaker 1: finished out ship at Games. I gotta give props here
- 7:51Speaker 1: quickly because we have been on a live show since together.
- 7:53Speaker 1: But we did have the Round one of the finals
- 7:56Speaker 1: yesterday with the playdown. The top ten are moving on
- 8:00Speaker 1: to the first week of the NFL playoffs to play
- 8:02Speaker 1: for these ten prizes one thousand bucks for six to
- 8:05Speaker 1: tenth cash, fifteen hundred for fifth, twenty five hundred for fourth,
- 8:09Speaker 1: five K, ten K, and twenty thousand dollars, and there's
- 8:12Speaker 1: other prizes that go with and of course, as you
- 8:13Speaker 1: can see there in front of you, but thunder Nation
- 8:15Speaker 1: forty four, Better seventy three, Mark Mark, JP nine, High Topper,
- 8:21Speaker 1: j Riidell Heimo, Guy Mule one Je Bubba MSU, K
- 8:26Speaker 1: Dog thirty five A, which is a cool story because
- 8:29Speaker 1: they were Golden Ship at number fifty winner got in
- 8:31Speaker 1: on the very last Golden ship. It won their way
- 8:34Speaker 1: in and then ended up finishing in the top ten
- 8:37Speaker 1: here and then Philly Fan two thousand and two.
- 8:39Speaker 4: So congrats to those ten.
- 8:41Speaker 1: They will move on.
- 8:41Speaker 4: Just a quick note, that's why I wanted to bring
- 8:43Speaker 4: it up, you know, congrats to you guys.
- 8:44Speaker 1: We'll see it. We'll get all the details out over
- 8:46Speaker 1: the next week or two. But for everybody else, you
- 8:48Speaker 1: will still get your prizes and credits and emails and
- 8:50Speaker 1: stuff send out to you. Just have patience. We're gonna
- 8:52Speaker 1: send it out to you directly and we'll make sure
- 8:54Speaker 1: you're taken care of. So everybody that's wondering, like I finished,
- 8:57Speaker 1: thirty ninth. It's great, but I didn't get anything yet.
- 9:00Speaker 1: We'll take care of it. It's all handled in the
- 9:01Speaker 1: back end, just like we've handled everything else. So thanks
- 9:03Speaker 1: to everybody that's supported. Hopefully it was a lot of
- 9:06Speaker 1: fun for you guys along the way. All right, let's
- 9:09Speaker 1: get into this. You guys, we've got you know, Rams
- 9:11Speaker 1: at the Falcons and Hoop, I'm gonna go right to you,
- 9:14Speaker 1: back to you and talk about the grand scheme overview.
- 9:16Speaker 1: This is the stage, right, it looks like, you know,
- 9:20Speaker 1: bigger favorites on the road, big boy team total. The
- 9:22Speaker 1: main thing here for the Rams, for those wondering, is
- 9:24Speaker 1: the one seed's gone now, but the five seeds important, right,
- 9:27Speaker 1: You can avoid the Eagles, you get to play the winner.
- 9:30Speaker 1: We were joking pre show. But the Tampa Bay Carolina situation,
- 9:33Speaker 1: well that's I believe what they get to play as
- 9:36Speaker 1: long as they finish in fifth with the fifth seed,
- 9:38Speaker 1: So Hoop, I'll kick it to you first.
- 9:40Speaker 4: Any thoughts on that and then just this game as
- 9:41Speaker 4: a whole.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I like we talked about it. I mean, not
- 9:45Speaker 2: a huge game for seeding or anything for the playoff stuff.
- 9:49Speaker 2: I mean, the Rams are pretty much set in the
- 9:51Speaker 2: five seed for the for the most part. I mean,
- 9:53Speaker 2: there are some different scenarios, but they seem very likely
- 9:56Speaker 2: to be the five seed. And either way they're playing
- 10:00Speaker 2: in this game. I mean, it's a primetime game. Matthew
- 10:02Speaker 2: Stafford's kind of you know, in the MVP conversation. Obviously
- 10:06Speaker 2: he wants to do well. The one thing that definitely
- 10:09Speaker 2: stands out to me is, you know, a few guys
- 10:11Speaker 2: getting all the ownership at captain. It's the ones that
- 10:13Speaker 2: you would expect, Puka Bijon and then I think probably
- 10:17Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford to some degree, and then after that, I
- 10:19Speaker 2: think it's a pretty big drop off Drake London, Kyron Williams,
- 10:26Speaker 2: probably some Kyle Pitts because of how well he's performed,
- 10:29Speaker 2: Probably some Kobe Parky just because the price is super
- 10:32Speaker 2: cheap and you get kind of a different build and
- 10:34Speaker 2: you go cheap at captain. So it's gonna be very
- 10:36Speaker 2: consolidated at the captain spot in terms of ownership, and
- 10:41Speaker 2: we do have cheap value plays on the slate. With
- 10:44Speaker 2: DeVante Adams being ruled out, all these rams wide receivers
- 10:48Speaker 2: are you know, twenty eight hundred three below three K essentially,
- 10:53Speaker 2: So we have a lot of below three K plays
- 10:56Speaker 2: that we can look to on this slate, and even
- 10:58Speaker 2: guys like Elgier thirty eight hundred probably too cheap, he
- 11:02Speaker 2: gets goal on work. Blake Korham at forty six hundred
- 11:05Speaker 2: too cheap. I think there's a chance he even gets
- 11:07Speaker 2: more work in this game as they kind of know
- 11:09Speaker 2: they're rolling into the playoffs. So we have some really
- 11:11Speaker 2: really underpriced guys that will make playing Bijon and Puoka
- 11:17Speaker 2: at captain very easy. And that's what I think probably
- 11:22Speaker 2: I'll say fifty percent of the field does combine, you know,
- 11:25Speaker 2: Puka Bijon, Puka being the number one in terms of
- 11:29Speaker 2: ownership up there and Bijon is clearly going to be two.
- 11:32Speaker 2: But when I think it's all said and done, it's
- 11:35Speaker 2: probably going to be a combined fifty percent ownership up there.
- 11:38Speaker 2: And you know Stafford's probably around ten, i'd say, uh,
- 11:42Speaker 2: so you know he's next in line, so if you
- 11:43Speaker 2: want to throw him into that makes it sixty percent
- 11:45Speaker 2: of the field kind of doing the same thing at
- 11:47Speaker 2: the captain position. So that's really the main standout you
- 11:50Speaker 2: can you can you can easily get to these expensive
- 11:53Speaker 2: captains because all the cheap players that are on the slate.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll kick at you in a second on
- 11:58Speaker 1: this title. One thing I want to shut out our
- 11:59Speaker 1: man go collect. I know he got into the winner
- 12:01Speaker 1: circle over the weekend, so congrats to you. Love to
- 12:03Speaker 1: see that, he says, Grants came over you rams smashed
- 12:06Speaker 1: tonight and then rest everyone next week.
- 12:08Speaker 2: That is very likely. Yeah, very very likely, very likely.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Yeah. The main thing will be like though, you know,
- 12:14Speaker 1: like Justin says here, you know any anyone else seen this? Yeah?
- 12:17Speaker 1: I am right now. I see a lot of four
- 12:18Speaker 1: two s, five ones. It's just the way it's gonna
- 12:21Speaker 1: set up. Title.
- 12:22Speaker 2: They the winner of Winner of San fran Seattle has
- 12:26Speaker 2: the number one speed, so then I have a chance
- 12:28Speaker 2: at the one seed.
- 12:29Speaker 4: They lost it last night with San Francisco winning.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Yeah that's right.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Yeah, one could have known on the PGA side because
- 12:34Speaker 1: people don't know this. I think by now people know
- 12:36Speaker 1: we're partner with Sabersim. There could be some more partnerships
- 12:38Speaker 1: coming down the line that could be pretty exciting and
- 12:40Speaker 1: maybe even exclusive. But the main thing is Winner Circle
- 12:43Speaker 1: is back, and you know people didn't have that last year,
- 12:46Speaker 1: so For those that don't know, you can go to
- 12:47Speaker 1: the site just click Winter Circle. You'll see all the people.
- 12:50Speaker 1: We've had multiple people win the million dollars. Last year
- 12:52Speaker 1: we had another Millionmaker winner. Our guy star X twenty
- 12:56Speaker 1: four won the million Maker in golf, but the year
- 12:58Speaker 1: before was Chris and we got an interview with him
- 13:00Speaker 1: on there. But you can get in the Winner Circle
- 13:02Speaker 1: now and you get prizes and free memberships.
- 13:04Speaker 4: So I mean, you don't know what the place to
- 13:06Speaker 4: sign up is.
- 13:07Speaker 1: It's the place that's also giving away in partnership with
- 13:09Speaker 1: our friends and partners at Sabersim, free gear, free memberships,
- 13:13Speaker 1: all the stuff that goes with it right up to it,
- 13:15Speaker 1: including a Rolex watch for the million dollar prize pool
- 13:19Speaker 1: and they'll have a bunch of them throughout the year,
- 13:20Speaker 1: so lots of chances to win a Millie. So I
- 13:22Speaker 1: think that's just another quick note title. Let me ask
- 13:25Speaker 1: you this, how many people do you think tonight, how
- 13:27Speaker 1: do you think it's possible that Puka gets over owned
- 13:30Speaker 1: in the captain from all the season longers and best
- 13:34Speaker 1: ballers and everyone that are just hedging their stuff, like
- 13:36Speaker 1: I'm if I lose to Puka, I'm gonna make sure
- 13:39Speaker 1: I have him in the captain. How much of that
- 13:41Speaker 1: do you think we see tonight as casual money coming
- 13:43Speaker 1: in and those trying to hedge against their other spots.
- 13:45Speaker 3: I don't think it'll make up too much in the
- 13:47Speaker 3: flagship for the sense of I think fifty maxers make
- 13:50Speaker 3: up a lot of these prize pools nowadays, and I
- 13:52Speaker 3: don't believe that they'll hedge that way. I think they
- 13:55Speaker 3: just stick with their process and go with it, whereas
- 13:58Speaker 3: the casuals might be thrown in two, three, four, and yeah,
- 14:00Speaker 3: maybe they play it, but which could add up a
- 14:03Speaker 3: little bit, but those lineups might not even be that
- 14:06Speaker 3: good anyway. I just think naturally on this slate we
- 14:08Speaker 3: have so much value that Puka is just gonna get
- 14:11Speaker 3: a ton of ownership just because it's easy to fit him.
- 14:14Speaker 3: He projects amazing, and I mean he's the best receiver
- 14:17Speaker 3: in football. He's just a great play. So I do
- 14:19Speaker 3: think he's probably higher owned than maybe we have projected
- 14:23Speaker 3: and everyone has projected. I'm not sure it really has
- 14:26Speaker 3: to do as much with the hedging situation. Maybe I
- 14:28Speaker 3: could be wrong, but we have so much value, Like
- 14:31Speaker 3: is the story of the slate, I think we have
- 14:34Speaker 3: Xavier Smith, Mumfield, Davis, Allen, Ferguson, Aljier Mooney, they're all
- 14:39Speaker 3: four k and below Parkinson. Four to four is really cheap,
- 14:43Speaker 3: Like it just feels like you pick a bijon a
- 14:46Speaker 3: puka if you want either quarterback I mean Stafford, if
- 14:49Speaker 3: I picked one, I don't love it though, Drake, London,
- 14:52Speaker 3: Kyn and then maybe a quorum pits and then yeah,
- 14:55Speaker 3: play met captain and whoever's the highest score is probably
- 14:58Speaker 3: the optimal and you just figure out the flex because
- 15:02Speaker 3: it's it's hard for me to see these mid range
- 15:04Speaker 3: and lower tier captains getting there just because I mean
- 15:08Speaker 3: they almost have to outscore the top guys. It feels like,
- 15:10Speaker 3: which is how much value and how easy it is
- 15:12Speaker 3: to fit?
- 15:13Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's important too, because last night slate,
- 15:16Speaker 1: as we saw, I mean, you can't really fault anyone.
- 15:18Speaker 1: I get the way the slate shook out with Tong's value,
- 15:20Speaker 1: but it's kind of the only value. You saw three
- 15:23Speaker 1: ninety nine way chops, you saw one ninety nine like
- 15:26Speaker 1: there was a big boy chops going on up top,
- 15:28Speaker 1: because how could you avoid it?
- 15:29Speaker 4: You could literally fit everything.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Tongs got to almost six percent in the Captain yesterday
- 15:33Speaker 1: you could fit perfect amount of Puka or sorry of
- 15:36Speaker 1: a CMC. Purdy, et cetera, et cetera, and it just
- 15:39Speaker 1: all worked out. And then they all scored. All the
- 15:41Speaker 1: guys in good spots Loveland and Luther Bird and the
- 15:43Speaker 1: third and all of them tonight. This makes for a
- 15:45Speaker 1: much better slate in my opinion, just because you don't
- 15:47Speaker 1: know if it ends up being Mumpfield, Xavier Smith one
- 15:50Speaker 1: of those that like, it could be any of those guys,
- 15:52Speaker 1: or you might need both Korum n algiear like how
- 15:55Speaker 1: these teams operate. It could just be crazy. So I
- 15:57Speaker 1: think from a MME type slate, this is a really
- 15:59Speaker 1: good and the prizes are still there and all that.
- 16:01Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be going hard at this slate. And
- 16:04Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 16:05Speaker 4: I'm in a different mood today, so I'll just pull
- 16:07Speaker 4: it up. I don't care.
- 16:08Speaker 1: But we're not gonna shy away from this stuff as much,
- 16:10Speaker 1: or at least I'm not in twenty twenty six. I'm
- 16:12Speaker 1: excited for the year ahead. I have nothing against our competitors.
- 16:15Speaker 1: They all have their own good stuff and their own
- 16:17Speaker 1: way to do stuff. But I love to see this.
- 16:19Speaker 1: I appreciate you, Ken. I know you with the emoji
- 16:22Speaker 1: or the avatar with the Google eye guy on the
- 16:25Speaker 1: older guy. We appreciate you man, and you you can
- 16:27Speaker 1: have both, like we made ourselves affordable so that you
- 16:31Speaker 1: can sign up for both. We do talk about our
- 16:33Speaker 1: business on here. It's life. That's how it works. Like
- 16:36Speaker 1: we want to grow. We started from the bottom up.
- 16:38Speaker 1: All three of us right here on this show have
- 16:40Speaker 1: been here from day one pretty much titled just behind us,
- 16:42Speaker 1: and we've grown this thing together. It's been a lot
- 16:44Speaker 1: of fun. We're not against these other people. We just
- 16:47Speaker 1: happen to be in business against them. We think they're
- 16:49Speaker 1: all great people over there. But if you see value
- 16:51Speaker 1: with what we offer, we would love to have you.
- 16:53Speaker 1: We know we have a great community and we're doing
- 16:54Speaker 1: a lot of fun things to try and continue to grow.
- 16:56Speaker 1: We continue to put the work in to try and
- 16:58Speaker 1: build it bigger, stronger. We've got a lot of plans
- 17:01Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six and it will kick off with
- 17:03Speaker 1: golf beyond all the stuff we've done already. So I
- 17:05Speaker 1: appreciate you, Ken. That's awesome, all right, title, I'll stay
- 17:09Speaker 1: with you man. You want to start off with captain
- 17:11Speaker 1: thoughts then and just sort of break it down from
- 17:13Speaker 1: that perspective. I gave you the tea up with Puka
- 17:15Speaker 1: and all that, But do you have other sort of
- 17:17Speaker 1: spots that you can see or ways you can see
- 17:18Speaker 1: a building out?
- 17:19Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of like I hinted at in my grand scheme.
- 17:22Speaker 3: I just because we have so much value in the
- 17:24Speaker 3: flex that'll be on the field that projects solid, I
- 17:27Speaker 3: don't see any reason not to play Puka Bijon, and
- 17:31Speaker 3: I mean they're the too highest on the two clear ones.
- 17:33Speaker 3: I still might get overweight. We're showing twenty seven to seventeen. Yeah, maybe,
- 17:37Speaker 3: I guess I prefer Like if Puka does get a
- 17:39Speaker 3: little seam to the thirty range, that means Bijon probably
- 17:41Speaker 3: has to stay around seventeen. I'll say Bijon, I guess
- 17:44Speaker 3: is my preferred then, just with the ownership discount a
- 17:48Speaker 3: little bit. And he's game script independent. If they're getting
- 17:50Speaker 3: completely blown out, you'll see All's year and they'll just
- 17:53Speaker 3: throw it in. But if they're down fourteen or whatever,
- 17:56Speaker 3: he can catch plenty of dump offs from Kirk. He's
- 17:58Speaker 3: just so good at football. But that being said, it's
- 18:01Speaker 3: a seven point spread. I was kind of expecting like
- 18:04Speaker 3: an eight and a half nine. I think the Rams
- 18:06Speaker 3: are the best team in the league. If you look
- 18:08Speaker 3: at futures or the favorite to win the Super Bowl,
- 18:10Speaker 3: Falcons are dead. It's only seven points. I mean, the
- 18:13Speaker 3: Falcons are gonna play hard, their defense is solid, so
- 18:17Speaker 3: that makes it even a little more intriguing to play
- 18:20Speaker 3: the Bijeon the Pukahs. After those two, I think it's
- 18:23Speaker 3: just really Drake London Kyen Williams. For me, Kyron f
- 18:26Speaker 3: five percent. We talk about it a lot like if
- 18:29Speaker 3: he is the one scoring the touchdowns Pukah chalk, he's
- 18:32Speaker 3: not scoring them as much. He can still go nine
- 18:35Speaker 3: for two hundred or whatever he does. But if he
- 18:38Speaker 3: doesn't get the touchdowns, Kyroen hurts a lot of that stuff.
- 18:41Speaker 3: Stafford showing over ten percent that hurts him as well.
- 18:44Speaker 3: And then Drake London on the other side, if he's
- 18:46Speaker 3: getting the touchdowns, it's not Bijon on the ground. So
- 18:50Speaker 3: those are my four main ones. If I added anyone else,
- 18:53Speaker 3: I think Blake Koram Kyle Pitts are fine. Korum's the
- 18:56Speaker 3: one mid Tierish guy I would go. And yeah, that's
- 18:59Speaker 3: just because the split is continue to narrow. Blake corm
- 19:02Speaker 3: can he can get two touchdowns. If that's the case,
- 19:05Speaker 3: could be close to the highest scorer on the late
- 19:07Speaker 3: But yeah, it's mainly Puka, Bijeon, Kyron Drake. I'm playing
- 19:10Speaker 3: the guys that I think can score twenty plus because
- 19:13Speaker 3: when we get to the flex there's so much value.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Yeah. One of the other things too is I think
- 19:17Speaker 1: that's at least someone interesting and maybe holds them in
- 19:19Speaker 1: check hoop with bijon stuff. I know that obviously it's
- 19:21Speaker 1: good on you know, Puco will get to all these
- 19:23Speaker 1: other spots, but just noting it. Like the the Bijon
- 19:26Speaker 1: thing is, I don't think a lot of people know
- 19:28Speaker 1: how nowhere to go after that, so it's holding it
- 19:30Speaker 1: someone in check, like they put Bijeon, but they like, oh,
- 19:33Speaker 1: like people never build two fours or rarely due versus
- 19:36Speaker 1: what the majority do, especially have handbuildings. So I think
- 19:38Speaker 1: a lot of people are like, well, if I put Bijeon,
- 19:41Speaker 1: then it gets tricky because I got to put two
- 19:43Speaker 1: more or three, Like they start thinking about.
- 19:45Speaker 4: This like oh no, I need more rams, so they
- 19:47Speaker 4: move to the other side.
- 19:47Speaker 1: What about that? And then sort of some of your
- 19:50Speaker 1: other captain thoughts up top, because I do think like
- 19:52Speaker 1: Bijeon could come in under twenty percent and if you
- 19:55Speaker 1: got the stone, you can figure it out from there.
- 19:57Speaker 1: But I think it's definitely an opportunity to go Bijeon
- 19:59Speaker 1: up to and get an overweight stance.
- 20:01Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the issue at captain is you just
- 20:06Speaker 2: you're gonna probably just need the highest scoring guy up
- 20:08Speaker 2: there because of how much value that we have on
- 20:11Speaker 2: the slate. Title kind of alluded to it, and I
- 20:12Speaker 2: think it's the most important talking point when looking at
- 20:16Speaker 2: the captains. And we have a lot of guys on
- 20:18Speaker 2: the slate, not a lot. There's a group of guys
- 20:20Speaker 2: that can just absolutely go off that we've seen all
- 20:23Speaker 2: season long, just go off. And for me, I don't
- 20:27Speaker 2: care what the ownership is on Puka, like I'll just
- 20:29Speaker 2: I'll get to find a way to get overweight on Puoka.
- 20:32Speaker 2: I mean it's not like you can scheme to stop them,
- 20:36Speaker 2: like they'll get him the ball in a variety of
- 20:38Speaker 2: different ways, almost like unguardable. And are the Falcons going
- 20:44Speaker 2: to be highly incentivized to really slow them down like
- 20:47Speaker 2: they're not playing for anything. So it starts with Puoka.
- 20:50Speaker 2: For me, I don't care what the ownership is. Like
- 20:52Speaker 2: we're showing it's probably we're showing twenty seven. Saber has
- 20:57Speaker 2: it at twenty two. It's probably like, I don't know,
- 21:00Speaker 2: thirty two or something. It's probably over thirty. I don't
- 21:02Speaker 2: really care. Like he'll definitely be my highest own captain
- 21:06Speaker 2: and then Bijon, you know, definitely find so many different
- 21:09Speaker 2: ways for Bijon to get there. I mean he had
- 21:11Speaker 2: to think eleven targets was it last week? I mean
- 21:13Speaker 2: it's a crazy number, eleven targets and back to back week,
- 21:16Speaker 2: so it doesn't matter even if they're getting their ass kicked.
- 21:18Speaker 2: I think he still, you know, has a chance to
- 21:22Speaker 2: be the highest scoring guy on the slate. But for me, honestly,
- 21:24Speaker 2: it does get difficult after that. Even with like Drake London,
- 21:28Speaker 2: I get it, but man like still got Kirk Cousins
- 21:31Speaker 2: back there, and I know he was able to get
- 21:33Speaker 2: it done with Pitts last week or two weeks ago,
- 21:36Speaker 2: whatever it was. Now it's like I got both those
- 21:39Speaker 2: guys there, So I do struggle with that side. You know,
- 21:41Speaker 2: maybe and maybe they do the rams say, you know what,
- 21:44Speaker 2: get a little lead and then we don't want to,
- 21:46Speaker 2: you know, injure anyone else going into the playoffs and
- 21:48Speaker 2: they do turn it over to Kyrin or Korum. So
- 21:52Speaker 2: for me, it's Hookah, it is Bijon, it is probably
- 22:00Speaker 2: Kiren Kyen Korum I think is fine, and then you know,
- 22:06Speaker 2: maybe Matthew Stafford. But the problem I have with Stafford
- 22:08Speaker 2: just feel like if Stafford has a big game, it's
- 22:11Speaker 2: just all going through Puka today. Like I just can't
- 22:13Speaker 2: imagine a path where Stafford goes off and Puka doesn't
- 22:18Speaker 2: outscore him. So I do struggle with Matthew Stafford. He
- 22:21Speaker 2: would probably be like the fifth or sixth favorite for me,
- 22:24Speaker 2: but it's clearly Puka, Bijon, the Rams running backs. You know.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Maybe then I'd probably put like the Falcons pass catchers,
- 22:33Speaker 2: and Stafford in that next tier like tier three. I'd say, Yeah.
- 22:37Speaker 1: The tricky part is there's again anything can happen. It's football,
- 22:39Speaker 1: but there's like almost no stopping Puka. That's the challenge.
- 22:42Speaker 1: It's like everyone's gonna try and do whatever. Like here's
- 22:44Speaker 1: an example of this game. The Falcons have nothing, but
- 22:47Speaker 1: the problem is their division is worth nothing. It's what
- 22:50Speaker 1: we just made fun of off the top. It's Stampa
- 22:52Speaker 1: Bay in Caroliza. What's their super Bowl? Is this game
- 22:54Speaker 1: right here? Shut down the Rams and make them play
- 22:56Speaker 1: somebody else. Will it happen? Probably not, But that's what
- 22:59Speaker 1: they're playing for right now, is to play spoiler because
- 23:01Speaker 1: they're pissed off their A game or whatever out of
- 23:04Speaker 1: the fact that they could have been in their division game.
- 23:06Speaker 1: Because six and nine, it's not a horrible record for
- 23:08Speaker 1: the Falcons, just horrible overall, but it's for them. They
- 23:11Speaker 1: were right there close to those other teams. So I
- 23:13Speaker 1: think they're gonna try their best. I don't know if
- 23:15Speaker 1: it's gonna fully work, And that's the challenge of a
- 23:17Speaker 1: guy like Puka just gets open so easily. He's so
- 23:19Speaker 1: dominant with the ball, it's too hard to guard him.
- 23:21Speaker 1: So I'm with Hoop and Title on that one. Bijon.
- 23:24Speaker 1: I like the fact that it's different styles of builds.
- 23:26Speaker 1: You can get some two fours, you can get some
- 23:28Speaker 1: five to one Atlanta's. If you want to get aggressive
- 23:30Speaker 1: on this slate and play spoiler alert to someone, I
- 23:32Speaker 1: think it is my man. Timothy Doublin said, might not
- 23:34Speaker 1: be the best night for a single entry. Yeah, The
- 23:36Speaker 1: thing is I would not want to be a single
- 23:38Speaker 1: entry on this slate. But if you're playing single entry
- 23:40Speaker 1: tonight or you only have one lineup, I think you
- 23:43Speaker 1: just simply go with the game script you feel best
- 23:45Speaker 1: with and then attack that and then start comparing what
- 23:48Speaker 1: versions of this game script are my favorite. If you
- 23:51Speaker 1: have the Falcons upsetting them and you think it's gonna
- 23:54Speaker 1: be something crazy like that, and you know the Rams lose,
- 23:57Speaker 1: then you could build what does my best Falcons win?
- 23:59Speaker 4: Lineup looks like, how do they win? Who's involved in that?
- 24:02Speaker 1: At least? Then you just go down with the ship.
- 24:03Speaker 1: If it doesn't go your way, you didn't lose, but
- 24:06Speaker 1: you play your money on what you think is gonna
- 24:07Speaker 1: happen in the game and build accordingly because you only
- 24:09Speaker 1: have one. Going back to the captains, I will say this,
- 24:13Speaker 1: I just looked it up. Stafford is still minus two
- 24:16Speaker 1: fifty for the MVP. But man, one performance by Drake
- 24:19Speaker 1: May yesterday that was pretty impressive stuff. I'm sticking with that.
- 24:23Speaker 1: The one thing about Stafford is the builds are pretty easy.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Doesn't mean you get them right, I'm saying, but to
- 24:27Speaker 1: Hoops point always it's like, when are you involving guys
- 24:30Speaker 1: like Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, Ferguson, Parkinson, will easy let me
- 24:34Speaker 1: put Stafford up top. So if they're gonna do anything
- 24:37Speaker 1: like that, One he's capable. Two, there's at least enough
- 24:40Speaker 1: guys that can catch passes. And I don't know, it
- 24:42Speaker 1: feels like a run right now title that we've been on,
- 24:45Speaker 1: but we've had Travis etn Jr. With Trevor Lawrence go
- 24:49Speaker 1: off together for three touchdowns. The week after that was
- 24:51Speaker 1: Burrow with Chase Brown and then last yesterday with May
- 24:55Speaker 1: and Romandre Stevenson. What if you see a Stafford with
- 24:59Speaker 1: one of those rbs, get kyrin or you get koram
- 25:01Speaker 1: in there something like that, and then you could still
- 25:03Speaker 1: put Pooka because you have values like Mumpfield and they're
- 25:07Speaker 1: all separator values. Obviously, if you put the most obvious
- 25:09Speaker 1: version ever of Stafford Williams, Pooka, Ferguson, or So, you're
- 25:14Speaker 1: gonna be much more popular. But there's other ways around it.
- 25:16Speaker 1: I think, So I at least have some love for
- 25:19Speaker 1: Stafford up top. And then the last thing I'll say,
- 25:21Speaker 1: because I'm not gonna get to a bunch of these
- 25:22Speaker 1: cheapies it doesn't look like going to rant on that
- 25:25Speaker 1: in a second, but two seconds here the running backs
- 25:28Speaker 1: for sure, Kyron and or Kyen and Koram really in
- 25:32Speaker 1: miamim pool because that's what leverages it all right. If
- 25:36Speaker 1: you don't have Stafford, if you don't have Nikua, if
- 25:37Speaker 1: you got them getting there in a different way. We
- 25:39Speaker 1: just saw Jamar Chase have an amazing start yesterday and
- 25:43Speaker 1: then Chase Brown takes him out for thirty four points
- 25:45Speaker 1: to twenty something.
- 25:46Speaker 4: It's like even with two touchdowns for Chase.
- 25:48Speaker 1: To start, that could be Puka and then all of
- 25:50Speaker 1: a sudden one of Williams or Korum or both start
- 25:53Speaker 1: doing it and you need him in the flex instead
- 25:54Speaker 1: of the captain. So like those running backs as well,
- 25:57Speaker 1: and title off flip it to you on my thing.
- 25:59Speaker 1: I won't do a full tangent, just the notes on that. Like,
- 26:01Speaker 1: that's why a six percent tongs captain doesn't really work
- 26:05Speaker 1: great very often because you just you fit all the
- 26:08Speaker 1: stuff right. So if you put these cheap captains up
- 26:10Speaker 1: top and you get it right, what do you think
- 26:13Speaker 1: you have in that lineup? Typically you've got all the
- 26:15Speaker 1: best plays that fit in like everybody else, and you
- 26:17Speaker 1: just end up in builds of like fifty plus doups.
- 26:20Speaker 1: So I'm not sure, Like I know, you handle that
- 26:22Speaker 1: stuff differently than some others. Everyone handles that stuff differently,
- 26:25Speaker 1: and I think some still want to protect their portfolio
- 26:28Speaker 1: and like put the good lineup of it in and say,
- 26:30Speaker 1: well that is the nuts, Like if it hits at
- 26:31Speaker 1: least I still get three grand because of it, or
- 26:34Speaker 1: four grand, maybe more, Who knows, what do you think?
- 26:36Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really, I don't play that way personally,
- 26:39Speaker 3: Like I had, I was way overweight Tongs captain in
- 26:42Speaker 3: the sense, well not way because he came in higher
- 26:44Speaker 3: than I expected. But even in those lineups like I
- 26:47Speaker 3: was looking like I played Santos over Lovelin. They're just
- 26:50Speaker 3: just because you play what to be a lower owned
- 26:52Speaker 3: captain that you think or a lower price captain. We
- 26:55Speaker 3: talk about it all the time. It leads people to
- 26:57Speaker 3: the same builds and what there's seventy thousand people in
- 27:00Speaker 3: that twenty five dollars contest tonight, Like it's not enough
- 27:03Speaker 3: to just play something like that. Now, Alec Pierce last Monday,
- 27:07Speaker 3: when he's point oh seven percent up top, that's a
- 27:10Speaker 3: different ballgame than six percent. Then you can eat a
- 27:13Speaker 3: lot more chalk after that. So yeah, for the most part,
- 27:16Speaker 3: even like the Coorum the Al's year, don't just leave
- 27:19Speaker 3: one hundred or two hundred bucks. Just know what you're
- 27:21Speaker 3: getting into. I should say, I'm not if that's what
- 27:24Speaker 3: you want to do, sure, but if you want to
- 27:26Speaker 3: eliminate a lot of dupes and still get unique, you
- 27:29Speaker 3: do need to get more different than just a five
- 27:31Speaker 3: percent captain and then leave all your money. I definitely
- 27:34Speaker 3: don't like it on this slate, just because we have
- 27:37Speaker 3: so much value.
- 27:38Speaker 1: I like the statement though this is true, he said,
- 27:40Speaker 1: But Saber, you know obviously however your settings were or
- 27:42Speaker 1: whatever settings you were on all that like, but this
- 27:43Speaker 1: is just an example of what you said and go
- 27:46Speaker 1: collec following up. So I'd rather lose with that than
- 27:48Speaker 1: get a two hundred due point of that. That's what again,
- 27:50Speaker 1: teach their own. Some people are thrilled just get in
- 27:53Speaker 1: the w and three grand is a lot for if
- 27:55Speaker 1: they only put in one entry for twenty bucks, three
- 27:57Speaker 1: grands phenomenal. And I'm not hating on that. I'm just saying,
- 27:59Speaker 1: like for most you know, people that are playing max
- 28:03Speaker 1: entry all the time and all season long, and it
- 28:05Speaker 1: gets expensive. The idea of winning that is just not
- 28:08Speaker 1: going to do anything. So it's like way more likely
- 28:11Speaker 1: to take the risk on of playing for the maximum
- 28:14Speaker 1: amount versus playing for that amount. But there's nothing wrong
- 28:17Speaker 1: if that's your style of play, and again depends on
- 28:18Speaker 1: a lot of different factors.
- 28:19Speaker 4: So love that call out there from.
- 28:21Speaker 1: You, Hoop. I'll go back to you man. Anything else
- 28:23Speaker 1: you want to add now that we both talk, all
- 28:25Speaker 1: three of us have talked through it. If not, you
- 28:26Speaker 1: can go further in on quarterback or go straight to
- 28:28Speaker 1: the running backs, with those backups being a big talking
- 28:31Speaker 1: point on this slate, I.
- 28:32Speaker 2: Think yeah, I mean nothing really to add that quarterback
- 28:35Speaker 2: like definitely as much Stafford as I can get. I mean,
- 28:38Speaker 2: it seems very likely to be on the optimal team
- 28:42Speaker 2: and for me, most likely in the Flexboch Kirk Cousins
- 28:46Speaker 2: another one of these quarterbacks that probably comes in pretty low.
- 28:50Speaker 1: I mean, do you lose Hoop as well? Yeah, he
- 28:57Speaker 1: did say the issues yeah beforehand, So if we lose,
- 28:59Speaker 1: who apologies, But I'll let you take it from their
- 29:03Speaker 1: title if you want. He can hop back in if
- 29:04Speaker 1: he gets in, but go to go to the running backs,
- 29:06Speaker 1: and yeah, big focus is gonna be on Quorum and
- 29:08Speaker 1: Algier of course on this slate.
- 29:10Speaker 3: Yeah, and I will say for the quarterbacks, I could
- 29:12Speaker 3: see myself being underway. Cousins just doesn't push the ball
- 29:15Speaker 3: down on the field as much. So like if he
- 29:18Speaker 3: throws for a lot less yards, but the a dot's
- 29:20Speaker 3: really small, like six catches for fifty yards. You'd rather
- 29:23Speaker 3: have the pass catcher, whether that's Mooney, whether that's pits London.
- 29:26Speaker 3: You can leave money that way. And with Stafford, so
- 29:30Speaker 3: much of it goes through Pookah, like we've talked about,
- 29:33Speaker 3: if he doesn't get in the touchdowns through the air.
- 29:35Speaker 3: So I do think no quarterback buils are interesting today
- 29:39Speaker 3: as a way to get different if you are doing
- 29:40Speaker 3: like five to one rams stuff, which everyone's going to
- 29:43Speaker 3: be doing. So doesn't mean I won't play some five
- 29:46Speaker 3: to one rams, but when I do, that is a
- 29:48Speaker 3: way you can get different running backs.
- 29:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:50Speaker 3: The nice thing on this late is you have two
- 29:53Speaker 3: running backs on both sides that are very viable, which
- 29:55Speaker 3: spreads out ownership in the playerpool a bit. Bijon. I
- 29:59Speaker 3: think I prefer at captain more than I do the
- 30:01Speaker 3: flex just hoping he fully gets there and the game
- 30:04Speaker 3: stays competitive, or if you think the Rams blow him out.
- 30:07Speaker 3: I don't think Bijon's the best play because it fits
- 30:09Speaker 3: the fourth quarter and they're down twenty one twenty eight.
- 30:12Speaker 3: We've seen it. It'll be algaeer and he just won't
- 30:14Speaker 3: be in the game. So if you think it's competitive,
- 30:17Speaker 3: I think Bijon is really good play because I think
- 30:19Speaker 3: he'd be a big reason why it is competitive. Kyron Korham,
- 30:23Speaker 3: I think both are very good for their price. I
- 30:26Speaker 3: mean they both work in a good amount. Kiren did
- 30:28Speaker 3: separate I guess a little bit from Korum for the
- 30:31Speaker 3: snap count last week, but it seems pretty game script
- 30:34Speaker 3: dependent to just how the game's going. Like the week
- 30:37Speaker 3: prior is almost close to fifty to fifty, the last
- 30:40Speaker 3: week is seventy thirty. Regardless, though, I think both are
- 30:44Speaker 3: solid and yeah, ownership will show what twenty two in
- 30:47Speaker 3: the Flex twenty nine Kyron, I think I can get
- 30:49Speaker 3: overweight to both and feel pretty good about it. Without DeVante,
- 30:53Speaker 3: we talked about it on the last Showdown show, but
- 30:55Speaker 3: there's just more touchdown equity for both of them because
- 30:58Speaker 3: they're not doing the one two yard DeVante slant or
- 31:02Speaker 3: fade route there and then all year if all year
- 31:05Speaker 3: scores once or even twice, like talk about leverage off
- 31:07Speaker 3: of the chalkiest guy in Bijon. So yeah, thirty eight hundred,
- 31:12Speaker 3: we see random stuff happen with him all the time.
- 31:14Speaker 3: I think the running back room is very strong on
- 31:17Speaker 3: this late and I'll be playing all four definitely.
- 31:20Speaker 1: Yeah, all good do Who've just texted us he's resetting
- 31:23Speaker 1: the router, but we got it. Who can come back?
- 31:25Speaker 1: They'd be amazing. If not, we'll keep it running for
- 31:27Speaker 1: you guys. I love the breakdown. One thing I like
- 31:28Speaker 1: just circling back to quarterback you match. I actually was
- 31:31Speaker 1: toying this just before the show, so it's funny you
- 31:32Speaker 1: mentioned it is there is some nice builds you can
- 31:35Speaker 1: get out there with, like no Stafford in the build.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Not again, I like Stafford, but I also like him
- 31:40Speaker 1: up top. He's kind of negative leverage in both spots
- 31:43Speaker 1: if you look at the stone, which I'll use the segment,
- 31:45Speaker 1: but I was just noting that, so guy lineups with
- 31:47Speaker 1: no cousins or no Stafford and still using somebody else
- 31:51Speaker 1: up top could still get there. The way it gets
- 31:52Speaker 1: spread around and depending on what the score of the
- 31:54Speaker 1: game ends up like, So just keep that in mind.
- 31:56Speaker 4: But the funny, you know, the Stone, That's why I
- 31:58Speaker 4: love it so much.
- 31:58Speaker 1: If you look at both Kiren and Bijon, you see
- 32:02Speaker 1: their captain and their captain optimal information and you see
- 32:06Speaker 1: their flex optimal information. And I'm not gonna give it away.
- 32:08Speaker 1: That's what we got over triper Nation. But why it's
- 32:10Speaker 1: the best tool in DFS just to be able to
- 32:12Speaker 1: see it. It can help you make some of those decisions,
- 32:14Speaker 1: which again you should be taking the Stone and taking
- 32:18Speaker 1: that as your inputs and thoughts that you're putting in
- 32:20Speaker 1: to say, Okay, Saber, I like this based on my.
- 32:23Speaker 4: Tools and data. Now help me get that.
- 32:27Speaker 1: And that's the benefit of it, right, is you kind
- 32:28Speaker 1: of get it set up that way, so you know,
- 32:31Speaker 1: like site says, I'm putting in twenty entries in the
- 32:32Speaker 1: one fifty max due to bankroll, still learning the format,
- 32:35Speaker 1: so I'll win a confirmation I'm moving in the right direction.
- 32:37Speaker 1: I've done two Showdown chops this year and I'm tri Yeah,
- 32:40Speaker 1: phenomenal job. And if you can play less lineups but
- 32:42Speaker 1: build them accordingly, then the thing about Showdown that I
- 32:45Speaker 1: always say that's a little bit different. Is showdown is more.
- 32:49Speaker 1: You're way more.
- 32:50Speaker 4: Likely to see the optimal. There's definitely slights throughout the
- 32:52Speaker 4: year we don't see the optimal.
- 32:53Speaker 1: We're like, holy shit, like someone didn't have the optimal today.
- 32:56Speaker 1: Like that happens. It does, but not like a classic,
- 33:00Speaker 1: like in this type of setup, if you're playing a
- 33:02Speaker 1: one dollar, a three dollar or a we've actually seen
- 33:06Speaker 1: title where the five dollar gets one by the optimal
- 33:09Speaker 1: and then nobody in the main twenty or and whenever
- 33:12Speaker 1: it's fifteen, eighteen, twenty twenty five, whatever, the main flagship,
- 33:15Speaker 1: nobody has that optimal and then someone in the five
- 33:17Speaker 1: dollars like piss because like damn, I wish I had
- 33:20Speaker 1: had this over there or something like that. So yeah,
- 33:22Speaker 1: you can definitely get away with playing less if that's
- 33:25Speaker 1: the case.
- 33:25Speaker 3: So I don't. I don't play one do one fifty
- 33:29Speaker 3: for like the super Bowl or like the first slate
- 33:31Speaker 3: if they're really big. But I've gone between like the
- 33:34Speaker 3: sixty five and ninety mark, and I feel totally fine
- 33:37Speaker 3: with it because, like you're saying, it's when the player
- 33:40Speaker 3: pulls more condensed NBA Showdown, MMA, NFL Showdown, you only
- 33:44Speaker 3: have so many guys to pick. There's only so many combinations.
- 33:47Speaker 3: Like you said, if you're not taken first or you
- 33:49Speaker 3: don't have the optimum most nights, you're losing money. So
- 33:52Speaker 3: at the end of the day, knowing that it can
- 33:53Speaker 3: get really expensive one fifty and you can be positive
- 33:57Speaker 3: sim every single slate, there's still so much very in dfs,
- 34:01Speaker 3: and especially when the second place second nuts half the time,
- 34:04Speaker 3: you're still losing money with big chops. I don't think
- 34:07Speaker 3: there's anything wrong, Like this is the one the smaller
- 34:12Speaker 3: playerpool stuff, I think is the one time where you're
- 34:14Speaker 3: not giving up nearly as much. Whereas you're playing a
- 34:16Speaker 3: million on Sunday and people can throw an all the
- 34:19Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty with one hundred and forty thousand
- 34:21Speaker 3: people and you throw in ten, it's so much harder
- 34:23Speaker 3: to win there. Know what you're getting into. You're playing
- 34:26Speaker 3: forty teams, twenty teams in one fifty. Build your game
- 34:29Speaker 3: script accordingly, and I don't think it's right to go
- 34:31Speaker 3: all in on one game script. But that's why portfolio
- 34:34Speaker 3: diversifiers good, like we talk about, or if you're handbuilding,
- 34:37Speaker 3: you can build multiple scripts. So some bubbles are far left,
- 34:40Speaker 3: some are in the middle, and some are in the right,
- 34:42Speaker 3: and you just hope you have the right combo there.
- 34:44Speaker 3: So yeah, nothing wrong in my opinion with throwing a
- 34:47Speaker 3: lot less and bankro manager. It's number one. And if
- 34:50Speaker 3: you've chopped twice already this year, I mean that's better
- 34:52Speaker 3: than a lot of people.
- 34:53Speaker 2: That's great.
- 34:54Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that advice, and I think it's important
- 34:56Speaker 1: just because the same as with people always. All if
- 34:57Speaker 1: I had five hundred lineups tonight, it's like, well you
- 35:00Speaker 1: with Pooka in all the captains, then it's not Puka
- 35:02Speaker 1: captain that's needed. All five hundred are now dead.
- 35:04Speaker 4: You didn't win. It's like, so it really doesn't matter.
- 35:06Speaker 1: Hoopster. I think you're back here with us, my man.
- 35:08Speaker 1: You got us, Yeah.
- 35:10Speaker 2: Yeah, back in action to a little weather situation here.
- 35:13Speaker 2: The internet's gone out about five times today, so this
- 35:15Speaker 2: will be the last try if I go out again.
- 35:18Speaker 2: Good luck to everyone in your contest tonight.
- 35:21Speaker 1: In week eighteen, folks, all right, you were talking a
- 35:24Speaker 1: little you were about to get to so we didn't
- 35:26Speaker 1: get your take on just Kyen Bijon in the flex
- 35:29Speaker 1: and then Korum versus Algier versus both type things.
- 35:32Speaker 4: But any thoughts further on the running backs.
- 35:34Speaker 2: Yeah, then just to finish up at quarterback. I don't
- 35:37Speaker 2: know where I got cut off, but with Kirk Cousins.
- 35:40Speaker 2: You know, last time we had a low owned quarterback
- 35:42Speaker 2: it was Philip Rivers and you know he was kind
- 35:44Speaker 2: of needed and went off. So anytime you can get
- 35:47Speaker 2: a quarterback at low ownership, I think it's appealing in
- 35:49Speaker 2: the flex and I think that's what we see with Cousins.
- 35:51Speaker 2: And I don't love Cousins, don't get me wrong, but
- 35:54Speaker 2: if he does come in, you know we're on twenty five,
- 35:56Speaker 2: Saber has it at twenty. He does come in around
- 35:59Speaker 2: that twenty cent number, I think definitely appealing in the
- 36:03Speaker 2: flex position. I mean, the quarterbacks get the first opportunity,
- 36:06Speaker 2: you know, basically every single time to touch the ball,
- 36:08Speaker 2: So running back situation kind of hit on the ram
- 36:13Speaker 2: stuff already. I think this is a game where if
- 36:17Speaker 2: they do get a lead, they'd be fine taking the
- 36:18Speaker 2: win and just getting the hell out of here and
- 36:20Speaker 2: knowing that they're likely the five seed and then you know,
- 36:23Speaker 2: probably rest some players next week and not risk any
- 36:25Speaker 2: sort of injury. So I think they could lean on Kyraen,
- 36:28Speaker 2: but I really like Korum. I think Korum is a
- 36:30Speaker 2: phenomenal play tonight, and again it kind of goes against
- 36:33Speaker 2: what I typically do on these slaves. But backup running
- 36:36Speaker 2: backs I think are very appealing on both sides. Quorum
- 36:39Speaker 2: and Algier. I mean, there's really nothing need to say
- 36:41Speaker 2: about Bijon. He's a great play, but they're definitely willing
- 36:44Speaker 2: to use Algier and use him in high leverage positions.
- 36:47Speaker 2: Junior's like thirty eight hundred. It's really bad pricing on
- 36:51Speaker 2: some of these you know, backup slash, you know value
- 36:55Speaker 2: sort of guys. Just bad pricing on Quorum I think
- 36:57Speaker 2: at forty six and l Gyear at thirty eight their
- 37:00Speaker 2: phenomenal plays on the slate. So that's kind of where
- 37:04Speaker 2: I'm at with the running backs.
- 37:06Speaker 4: Yeah, they know it. They're catching on now.
- 37:08Speaker 1: Yeah, thank the store.
- 37:09Speaker 4: I think, hey, Hoop has great.
- 37:10Speaker 1: Internet's usually always solid, but if the storm's hitting, and
- 37:13Speaker 1: I've even got similar here on the East coast of Canada,
- 37:16Speaker 1: so it's it's part of it freezing rain and winds
- 37:18Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But we'll move it through, We'll
- 37:20Speaker 1: keep it rolling. I don't have too much to add
- 37:22Speaker 1: on the running backs. I was saying the title beforehand,
- 37:24Speaker 1: just how the Stone does a good job of breaking
- 37:26Speaker 1: it down on the flex optimal versus the captain, and
- 37:29Speaker 1: you just said it with Cousins popped up there again too.
- 37:31Speaker 1: So if you guys aren't, aren't using the snow. If
- 37:33Speaker 1: you're a member, you've got the stone, go use it.
- 37:34Speaker 1: If you're not a member, get in and get it,
- 37:36Speaker 1: because this is where you can see different angles of
- 37:38Speaker 1: attack and wayte to approach, and that's how people are
- 37:40Speaker 1: finding their inputs to be strong, to get strong outputs.
- 37:43Speaker 4: Shut up the sites who just said chopped it up twice.
- 37:46Speaker 1: So congrats to you on using all the tools and
- 37:47Speaker 1: putting them to you to your advantage. So I'll go
- 37:50Speaker 1: to you here title again. Then we'll go to wide receiver.
- 37:53Speaker 1: London expected to be good to go. Obviously, Adam's doubtful
- 37:57Speaker 1: and we expected to stay that way as well, but
- 37:59Speaker 1: we've got who and a bunch of guys behind him.
- 38:01Speaker 1: We've got London Mooney, and then find find someone who
- 38:05Speaker 1: who loves you as much as Kirk Cousins love David
- 38:07Speaker 1: Stills the Fifth, but he's in the pool as well tonight.
- 38:10Speaker 4: Also so give us your thoughts.
- 38:12Speaker 3: Yeah, so for the Falcon side, when they run three
- 38:15Speaker 3: receiver sets, its Drake London and starting No. On Mooney
- 38:17Speaker 3: and then it is David Stills. So he's got to
- 38:20Speaker 3: be in the player pool. Now, he played like forty
- 38:23Speaker 3: percent of snaps. Now, if they're trailing a lot and
- 38:26Speaker 3: they have to be throwing the ball, they'll run a
- 38:27Speaker 3: lot more three receiver sets. And if you're a receiver
- 38:30Speaker 3: and you're on the field, random stuff can happen, So
- 38:32Speaker 3: I'll get some. But he's clearly like the fourth target,
- 38:35Speaker 3: behind Dijon, behind Drake London, behind Pitts, behind Mooney, So
- 38:39Speaker 3: what that makes them fifth or something. He's clearly way
- 38:41Speaker 3: down in the pecking order. But he's twenty eight hundred,
- 38:44Speaker 3: and he's in a range right by Xavier Sits Xavier Smith,
- 38:48Speaker 3: Mumpfield some of the tight ends. If somehow Stills outscores
- 38:52Speaker 3: those guys, you're looking at a solo ship or pretty
- 38:55Speaker 3: close to it, because yeah, the Rams guys will all
- 38:58Speaker 3: be high your own. Mumpfield twenty two hundred is probably
- 39:01Speaker 3: the most mispriced player on the slate without DeVante Adams.
- 39:05Speaker 3: They run a ton of thirteen personnel three tight ends.
- 39:08Speaker 3: I think like broke the record or something in the
- 39:10Speaker 3: last forty plus years, some insane number with how much
- 39:13Speaker 3: the Rams did use thirteen personnel last game, and I
- 39:16Speaker 3: expect that to continue Ferguson Alan Parkinson. But Momfield's still
- 39:21Speaker 3: the guy that plays about fifty percent of snaps in
- 39:23Speaker 3: the two receiver sets. He had pretty good reports, seemed
- 39:27Speaker 3: like with Stafford. After that, it's like Whittington getting a
- 39:31Speaker 3: little bit. It's Xavier Smith getting a little bit, and
- 39:34Speaker 3: I'm fine with them. I think I prefer Smith. He
- 39:36Speaker 3: stretches the field a little more, But when we get
- 39:39Speaker 3: to these tight ends, like all of them, I think
- 39:41Speaker 3: are pretty much better plays because they're on the field
- 39:43Speaker 3: a lot more. I do like Exavier Smith though a
- 39:46Speaker 3: two thousand. I think he has the best chance to
- 39:48Speaker 3: outscore Chalk Mumfield if any of these guys do. I'm
- 39:52Speaker 3: also curious, when I throw it back to you, if
- 39:53Speaker 3: you guys believe that thirty percent monthfield ownership or if
- 39:57Speaker 3: that can go up to closer to forty like we
- 39:59Speaker 3: saw Tongs get a good amount of steam yesterday. Ram stuff. Yeah,
- 40:04Speaker 3: Pooka is the man, and like I said, it's Mumfield.
- 40:06Speaker 3: Then it's Xavier Smith and then Whittington two to two.
- 40:11Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 40:11Speaker 3: They're not on the field much too to at least
- 40:13Speaker 3: when he is on the field, he runs a deep
- 40:15Speaker 3: route and it can maybe connect on one. But I
- 40:17Speaker 3: think it's clearly Smith Mumfield is the preferred plays there.
- 40:21Speaker 3: Don't love receivers, I don't know. I actually think Drake,
- 40:24Speaker 3: London and Mooney are pretty strong. And then depending if
- 40:27Speaker 3: Monfield is only thirty percent, I think he's probably one
- 40:30Speaker 3: of the best plays on the slate even at that
- 40:32Speaker 3: number because he's just way miss priced. But I'm not
- 40:34Speaker 3: sure he stays that low.
- 40:36Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Mumfield certainly could be bump Field. He's
- 40:39Speaker 1: definitely getting an ownership bump And I mean this thirty
- 40:42Speaker 1: feels real at least that much, and to your point,
- 40:45Speaker 1: maybe could get more because at twenty two hundred he
- 40:47Speaker 1: makes a ton work. And then we talked about it earlier.
- 40:49Speaker 1: With the roster constructions that we're seeing mostly five ones
- 40:52Speaker 1: four twos, it's like what makes things work and what
- 40:55Speaker 1: gets you Puka and Bijon very easily? Is that? So,
- 40:59Speaker 1: like you said, I think you gotta take shots on
- 41:01Speaker 1: somebody like Xavier Smith, and that's again going back to it,
- 41:04Speaker 1: I'll keep talking about with the stone.
- 41:06Speaker 4: It's their tuner bucks apart. Their projection is not far apart.
- 41:09Speaker 1: Their only thing far apart, and even they're optimals and
- 41:12Speaker 1: you can see it all. The only thing far apart
- 41:13Speaker 1: is their ownership. And if we believe that to be true,
- 41:16Speaker 1: and possibly going even further in the direction of going
- 41:19Speaker 1: up for a guy like Mumfield, then it makes it
- 41:22Speaker 1: even better actually just to look at it and to
- 41:23Speaker 1: say again, bite the dust and take it.
- 41:25Speaker 4: It's two inner bucks less. What if it's xavieror Smith.
- 41:28Speaker 1: Yesterday I played Kyle Williams. It was Efton Chisholm was
- 41:32Speaker 1: the guy for the exact same price that was right there.
- 41:34Speaker 1: It happens, man, even in big time games and everything
- 41:36Speaker 1: that's going on. So yeah, I think there's certainly a possibility,
- 41:39Speaker 1: and things like that I do look at and I
- 41:41Speaker 1: think are important for showdown. That can make a world
- 41:44Speaker 1: of difference when it comes down to if you actually
- 41:45Speaker 1: get the job done, how much do you win when
- 41:47Speaker 1: you when you are right your point, you always say
- 41:49Speaker 1: that's the one for sure, something like that, whop what
- 41:52Speaker 1: you got at wide receiver here what else?
- 41:54Speaker 2: Yeah, not too much to add. I will say I'm
- 41:57Speaker 2: the Mumfield thing. I think it has to be held
- 41:59Speaker 2: in in some capacity. I mean, maybe it does come
- 42:02Speaker 2: up from the thirty, but there's just a lot of cheap,
- 42:05Speaker 2: playable guys on the slate, and you know, people will
- 42:08Speaker 2: spread it out a little bit. I mean, Mooney at
- 42:10Speaker 2: four k you got all these other guys, smith Sills
- 42:14Speaker 2: to too, and you go to tight end. You know,
- 42:16Speaker 2: Kobe park Parkinson's only forty four hundred, Ferguson's thirty four,
- 42:21Speaker 2: Davis Allen, you have the backup running back. So I
- 42:24Speaker 2: think it will be held in check a little bit.
- 42:27Speaker 2: I don't think it will get much higher. Could be wrong,
- 42:29Speaker 2: we'll see, but we do have a lot of viable
- 42:31Speaker 2: guys in that range, so I think it will be
- 42:34Speaker 2: held in check in some capacity. But yeah, not much
- 42:38Speaker 2: more to add. I mean, like Smith and at Well
- 42:41Speaker 2: probably better suited in like Stafford captain teams, especially at Well,
- 42:46Speaker 2: because if he gets there, it's probably just like one
- 42:48Speaker 2: deep bomb, and then that would mean Stafford spreading it
- 42:51Speaker 2: out at least a little bit, and it's not all
- 42:53Speaker 2: going to Puka. So I think he's good for like Stafford, Captain, Teams, Sills,
- 42:58Speaker 2: Smith fine play is Mooney super frustrating, but he's only
- 43:02Speaker 2: four K, so nothing too crazy to have.
- 43:06Speaker 1: I think one thing that stands out then, based on
- 43:08Speaker 1: what you said there that makes me think of that
- 43:11Speaker 1: is like it's gonna depend on the Algiers and the
- 43:13Speaker 1: Korums of the world. Like right now, Algier doesn't show
- 43:16Speaker 1: twenty percent yet, and Korum shows over twenty percent but
- 43:20Speaker 1: not at thirty. So it's like those are the spots
- 43:23Speaker 1: it would go. But again, I don't know, it just depends.
- 43:25Speaker 1: But the way I'm seeing the rosters shakeout, it's like
- 43:29Speaker 1: you always need a two K gaup. You just need
- 43:31Speaker 1: somebody down there that makes it feel so much better,
- 43:33Speaker 1: and it's like a stretch. So I wonder if it
- 43:35Speaker 1: is like even with what you said, who, I think
- 43:37Speaker 1: it could be correct, Like he gets held in check
- 43:39Speaker 1: at the current number we're at, but that means probably
- 43:42Speaker 1: that those other guys also get held in check because
- 43:44Speaker 1: that's sort of where it's dispersing amongst and so that
- 43:46Speaker 1: would be where some of those Quorum and Algier lineups
- 43:49Speaker 1: could become, you know, more unique than you might actually
- 43:52Speaker 1: think going in even though they're still you know, owned enough.
- 43:54Speaker 1: It's just like maybe not as many people as you
- 43:56Speaker 1: think can get to them. Another thing too, I made
- 44:00Speaker 1: fun of it, but like Sales twenty eight is tough
- 44:02Speaker 1: click when there's other guys around him. But like Tompkins
- 44:05Speaker 1: drawn all these other guys, it's your point, always hoop
- 44:08Speaker 1: with you know, there's no other it's you know, Kyle Pitts,
- 44:11Speaker 1: it's London, it's Mooney, it's Algier. Bijon is a receiver
- 44:14Speaker 1: though right he's got props tonight for almost fifty yards
- 44:16Speaker 1: receiving as on top of his rushing props. So it's
- 44:19Speaker 1: like that type of stuff adds up quickly when you're like,
- 44:22Speaker 1: oh but I got to fit some of these other
- 44:24Speaker 1: guys in, Like they just do not project, not just
- 44:26Speaker 1: projections for points. It's because of that and all of
- 44:30Speaker 1: it ties together. They just don't project to be on
- 44:32Speaker 1: the winning lineups, right on the optimal and things like that.
- 44:34Speaker 1: Like that, you're just not seeing them because there's so
- 44:37Speaker 1: many other guys around them that project for just way
- 44:39Speaker 1: more and seemingly would be way more likely to get
- 44:42Speaker 1: there as well. So title anything else and wide receiver
- 44:46Speaker 1: you want to add. If not, you could take us
- 44:47Speaker 1: into tight end with Parkts and Ferguson, pits lots of
- 44:50Speaker 1: these guys there as well, But I got nothing else
- 44:52Speaker 1: to add on top of you guys at wide receiver.
- 44:53Speaker 3: Yeah, when we get to the FanDuel, the receiving room
- 44:56Speaker 3: looks to be like a little different over there, one
- 44:59Speaker 3: of the bigger differences with like a Mooney and monthfield price,
- 45:02Speaker 3: but nothing more for that. Yeah, and then, man, like
- 45:05Speaker 3: I mentioned, you won't see team play three tight ends
- 45:08Speaker 3: as much as on the field at the same time
- 45:10Speaker 3: as you'll see the Rams play Parkinson, Allen Ferguson. And
- 45:13Speaker 3: when that's the case, obviously all of them are in play. Now.
- 45:16Speaker 3: Even though Parkinson's the most expensive, it goes forty four hundred,
- 45:20Speaker 3: thirty four hundred, Ferguson twenty four hundred, Allen Parkinson still
- 45:24Speaker 3: feels like he'll be the chalkiest, Like he's the most
- 45:27Speaker 3: miss priced and you can go let's see. I always
- 45:30Speaker 3: like to try and Kyle Pitts eight point ak take
- 45:33Speaker 3: him out and go Kobe Parkinson. I think that is
- 45:36Speaker 3: very viable on this slate, which shows how much money
- 45:39Speaker 3: you really can leave forty four hundred. You're not giving
- 45:41Speaker 3: up much in projection, like two and a half three
- 45:44Speaker 3: points and you get a forty four hundred savings right there.
- 45:48Speaker 3: So I think Parkinson's definitely strong. Same with Ferguson. I
- 45:51Speaker 3: think you can leave a good amount with him. He
- 45:53Speaker 3: did get a touchdown the last game. He almost had two.
- 45:55Speaker 3: I think one got called back. Hoop was all over
- 45:57Speaker 3: in that show. Yeah, just a that they definitely trust,
- 46:02Speaker 3: that has pretty solid pass catching abilities. And you're looking
- 46:05Speaker 3: at the touchdown props again, they're always skewed in the
- 46:07Speaker 3: wrong direction. I mean, they're robbing you at the end
- 46:10Speaker 3: of the day. But plus two sixty five Ferguson plus
- 46:13Speaker 3: three ten Allen plus one forty five Parkinson. Like Parkinson
- 46:17Speaker 3: is more likely to score than Blake Korum. He's only
- 46:19Speaker 3: behind Pooka, Bijon and Kyn Williams on this slate, And
- 46:23Speaker 3: a lot of that has to do when they're by
- 46:24Speaker 3: the red zone. All three of them will probably be
- 46:26Speaker 3: out there, and if it's a play action, they all
- 46:29Speaker 3: have a decent chance to get in there. So yeah,
- 46:31Speaker 3: you could play three tight ends on your team. When
- 46:33Speaker 3: it's all said and done, I'll rank them well, if
- 46:37Speaker 3: ownership's true, if Allen and Ferguson are pretty much the
- 46:39Speaker 3: same owned, I'd prefer Ferguson, but I'm not sure that's
- 46:44Speaker 3: necessarily going to be the case. Falcon side Kyle Pitts
- 46:47Speaker 3: is fine at eighty eight hundred. That price is definitely
- 46:49Speaker 3: a way up there, but ownership passes. Stay and check
- 46:52Speaker 3: a little bit like we're showing just because Cousins is
- 46:54Speaker 3: only two hundred more, Kyron's eight hundred, Drake London's one k.
- 46:58Speaker 3: I think people prefer all of them over pits at
- 47:01Speaker 3: that price tag. And then a real dart throw Charlie Warner.
- 47:05Speaker 3: I probably wouldn't want to leave too much money like
- 47:08Speaker 3: to get up to I guess you could for Allen,
- 47:10Speaker 3: but like Ferguson Parkinson, I wouldn't want to leave all
- 47:13Speaker 3: that money for Warner. But they ran a lot of
- 47:15Speaker 3: two tight end sets as well. He was on the
- 47:17Speaker 3: field seventy five percent last game. Again, a lot of
- 47:20Speaker 3: that has to do with blocking, but one random touchdown
- 47:23Speaker 3: could be enough down low if you want a one
- 47:26Speaker 3: percent guy in really large field stuff. But yeah, tight
- 47:29Speaker 3: ends will be on the field a ton multiple of them.
- 47:32Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think who you had the Ferguson
- 47:34Speaker 1: touchdown call. It was early, they took it away. They said,
- 47:37Speaker 1: he's still getting one. We'll give it to him on
- 47:38Speaker 1: the next drive or whatever. It was down the road
- 47:40Speaker 1: and they got him that touchdown. You had that call
- 47:42Speaker 1: last last time, these guys. We had these guys play.
- 47:44Speaker 1: But what's your your thoughts today?
- 47:47Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, same thing with them, and they keep
- 47:49Speaker 2: using them in high leverage situations. He almost looked like
- 47:51Speaker 2: a wide receiver too. He's not like built like a
- 47:53Speaker 2: tank tight end or anything like. They play him as
- 47:56Speaker 2: a wide receivers thirty four hundred. They're using them in
- 48:00Speaker 2: very high leverage situations in the red zone. I think he's,
- 48:04Speaker 2: you know, probably one of my favorite plays on the slate.
- 48:07Speaker 2: And if it's like you know, Mumford versus him, like,
- 48:12Speaker 2: if that ownership difference continues to grow, and I know
- 48:15Speaker 2: they're not priced exactly the same, there's a what is it,
- 48:18Speaker 2: twelve hundred, twelve hundred dollars difference between the two. I
- 48:21Speaker 2: want way more Ferguson than Mumfield. If Mumfield is going
- 48:24Speaker 2: to get into the thirty five percent range and Ferguson
- 48:28Speaker 2: stays around twenty ish, I would say, I think that's
- 48:32Speaker 2: probably yeah, we have it at seventeen saver as at
- 48:35Speaker 2: twenty one, we have probably somewhere in that range. Like
- 48:37Speaker 2: Ferguson to me, just a phenomenal play. Parkinson just missed
- 48:41Speaker 2: priced for sure at forty four, he'll be very popular.
- 48:44Speaker 2: But again, like, man, if Parkinson's gonna have double the
- 48:48Speaker 2: ownership with this this Ferguson guy, like I have to
- 48:52Speaker 2: lean on Ferguson in that situation, there is one thousand
- 48:55Speaker 2: dollars gap the opposite way. Now we're talking Parkinson's another
- 48:59Speaker 2: thousand above Ferguson. But man, I think Ferguson is just
- 49:03Speaker 2: a phenomenal play and all sorts of builds, no matter
- 49:06Speaker 2: what you're doing. Pitt's at eighty eight, like the price
- 49:09Speaker 2: is a little uncomfortable, but like title said that, I'll
- 49:11Speaker 2: definitely keep his ownership in check a little bit. And
- 49:14Speaker 2: you know, we saw his ceiling a couple of weeks ago,
- 49:17Speaker 2: albeit it was without uh, without Drake London, but I
- 49:20Speaker 2: think you know, at low pretty low ownership, low ownership
- 49:24Speaker 2: for a showdown slay, I think he's fine. Davis Allen
- 49:26Speaker 2: twenty four hundred to me, better suited for Stafford Captain teams,
- 49:30Speaker 2: and then yeah, if you want to throw this Werner
- 49:32Speaker 2: guy in there at at twelve hundred, I don't necessarily
- 49:36Speaker 2: hate that, but for me, it's, uh, it's all about
- 49:38Speaker 2: Ferguson Again. I think the dude's legit, and they use
- 49:41Speaker 2: him in a way that you would want your guy
- 49:45Speaker 2: to be used if you're playing him in fantasy.
- 49:48Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's the key, And I think that
- 49:51Speaker 1: sale thing about tonight too is a lot of the
- 49:52Speaker 1: way the pricings that's up you could if you were,
- 49:54Speaker 1: depending on your style of build, and even if you
- 49:56Speaker 1: have one lineup and you're building for a game script,
- 49:58Speaker 1: like I said earlier, if you want be you can play.
- 50:01Speaker 4: Algier with it, if that's your script.
- 50:03Speaker 1: If you want Kien's a little tougher because I like
- 50:05Speaker 1: him in the Captain, but it could be Kiren gets
- 50:07Speaker 1: there and then you need Blake korhum later whatever.
- 50:09Speaker 4: Like it's possible. But yeah, it's a little bit trickier.
- 50:12Speaker 1: But for these tight ends, I think you could definitely see,
- 50:14Speaker 1: you know, Stafford throw to Puka, Stafford throw to Parkinson,
- 50:18Speaker 1: and Stafford throw to Ferguson, and that's just how it
- 50:21Speaker 1: sets up, so don't be afraid at forty four and
- 50:24Speaker 1: thirty four hundred, like you have to choose it. The
- 50:25Speaker 1: other thing about that is if you land on a
- 50:28Speaker 1: forty four hundred dollars lineup where you or five k
- 50:31Speaker 1: left and you're like thinking, let's plug in Parkinson, you
- 50:34Speaker 1: could sacrifice those four points or whatever, three or three
- 50:36Speaker 1: and a half four points in projection and just play
- 50:38Speaker 1: Ferguson and.
- 50:38Speaker 4: Get a way lower owned version of that.
- 50:40Speaker 1: If you think it's Ferguson over Parkinson, he could definitely
- 50:43Speaker 1: beat him in one game tonight on this slate. So
- 50:45Speaker 1: it's possible. I think that's always things that I'm looking at,
- 50:48Speaker 1: versus you're not doing that in too many other places,
- 50:50Speaker 1: to be honest, on this slate, it's just not really possible.
- 50:53Speaker 1: You know, you're not playing You're not very often at
- 50:56Speaker 1: least playing like Sills over London or something right you're playing.
- 50:59Speaker 1: You're not playing Field over Pookas with Booker or something
- 51:02Speaker 1: like that. So I don't know title anything you want
- 51:04Speaker 1: to add at Kickers and D's. I know some good
- 51:05Speaker 1: FanDuel stuff Hoop will get to in a minute here
- 51:08Speaker 1: for certain on this one, but anything else title you
- 51:11Speaker 1: want to add or kickers and d's thoughts.
- 51:13Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think kickers and d's have to be
- 51:15Speaker 3: pretty low owned, maybe combined, some of the lowest we've seen,
- 51:19Speaker 3: just for the sense of they're all priced above these
- 51:22Speaker 3: month fields, These Fergusons, Xavier Smith, all these really live
- 51:26Speaker 3: plays with projections that will be on the field. You
- 51:28Speaker 3: can get them for cheaper, so they're almost in a
- 51:31Speaker 3: dead range. And I definitely prefer kickers over defenses. I
- 51:36Speaker 3: think if someone's scoring like fifteen, it's more likely that
- 51:38Speaker 3: it's gonna be one of these kickers kicking a bunch.
- 51:40Speaker 3: And if that's the case, when they do, that means
- 51:42Speaker 3: touchdowns aren't being scored, which can leverage some stuff off there.
- 51:46Speaker 3: So yeah, I think I'll be overweight both kickers we
- 51:49Speaker 3: saw yesterday. Obviously, when eighty points are scored, a pick
- 51:52Speaker 3: six isn't even close to the winner with the Bears defense. Man,
- 51:56Speaker 3: if a defense is on the winner, you're looking at
- 51:59Speaker 3: a lot less dupes. I just want games script, what
- 52:03Speaker 3: game flow is it really going to be like that?
- 52:05Speaker 3: I think if I'm playing rams in the flex like
- 52:07Speaker 3: I almost Kiren Orcorum and maybe even both are fine.
- 52:11Speaker 3: They're just pounding the football and it's boring that way.
- 52:14Speaker 3: And then yeah, if I'm playing Falcons D, I don't
- 52:17Speaker 3: really even know what you need random touchdown maybe two,
- 52:21Speaker 3: So I don't love that as much. But I think
- 52:23Speaker 3: we see very low ownership relative to most showdown slates
- 52:27Speaker 3: with both, just because of a lot of really good
- 52:29Speaker 3: players with bet are cheaper and with solid projections.
- 52:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that call out, and I think you know,
- 52:36Speaker 1: better suited for the flex by the looks of things
- 52:38Speaker 1: for both, but in the right type of build it
- 52:41Speaker 1: could certainly make sense. The funny thing, too, was the
- 52:43Speaker 1: Chicago Bears d right off the hop last night fifteen
- 52:46Speaker 1: seconds in nowhere to be found on those lineups after
- 52:49Speaker 1: everybody else scored a million points. But it's just crazy
- 52:52Speaker 1: how it always starts out and you're like, oh, you
- 52:53Speaker 1: had the laptop being tossed out the window, Jeff, Things
- 52:56Speaker 1: like that posted in the discord, But hoop.
- 52:58Speaker 4: Any thoughts on Kickers and from you my men, Ram.
- 53:04Speaker 2: I mean, obviously rams are the more appealing defense, but
- 53:06Speaker 2: they're going to be definitely held in check because of
- 53:08Speaker 2: the price type. They're fifty two hundred dollars and they're
- 53:11Speaker 2: more expensive than all those Rams tight tight ends that
- 53:15Speaker 2: look good, all the Rams wide receivers that look relatively good.
- 53:19Speaker 2: They're more expensive than all those guys, more expensive than
- 53:23Speaker 2: even Algier and Quorum, So they have to be held
- 53:27Speaker 2: in check. That's the definitely the argument for them. Probably,
- 53:31Speaker 2: I don't know. I'd guess Rams D around ten percent
- 53:35Speaker 2: is maybe, so like that's the only one I would play.
- 53:38Speaker 2: I don't want to play Falcons defense. Not many turnovers
- 53:42Speaker 2: for the Rams. They'll run the ball if they get
- 53:44Speaker 2: a lead. Kickers, I think mevs guys fine at five
- 53:48Speaker 2: k I'm not opposed as zing Gonzalez, but definitely prefer
- 53:54Speaker 2: the Rams kicker in defense over anything on the Falcon side.
- 53:59Speaker 1: Yeah, I was trying to look like man, even if
- 54:01Speaker 1: you have somebody our man go collect is busy in
- 54:04Speaker 1: the chat today, we appreciate you said. Nobody is mentioning
- 54:06Speaker 1: London tonight. Leads me to think he gets squeezed ownership wise. Definitely,
- 54:10Speaker 1: thing is possible up top like the captain spot.
- 54:14Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean even I mean he's ten, I
- 54:16Speaker 2: mean ninety eight hundred. I mean if you're playing Puka
- 54:19Speaker 2: or bijon up top, I mean it it'll dry up
- 54:23Speaker 2: pretty quick. I mean, you probably only get one more
- 54:25Speaker 2: spend and is it going to be Drake London? You know,
- 54:28Speaker 2: maybe not at I think that's a good point. I
- 54:29Speaker 2: think he definitely has a chance to not only get
- 54:31Speaker 2: squeezed up top, but in the flex a little bit too.
- 54:34Speaker 1: The problem is is, like I just looked, I'm not
- 54:36Speaker 1: saying that you need to go this route. Just to
- 54:38Speaker 1: give an example though, is it if you run a
- 54:40Speaker 1: London captain up, do you want cousins with him? Well,
- 54:44Speaker 1: if you want Puka on the other side, or if
- 54:47Speaker 1: you want Stafford to Puka like you're out of money quick,
- 54:49Speaker 1: like you have almost nothing left. So it's a certain
- 54:52Speaker 1: type of build for sure. But the other part of
- 54:55Speaker 1: it would be is like, Okay, if that's happening, well
- 54:58Speaker 1: then you can't just like, oh well then I'll go
- 55:00Speaker 1: to Kyroen instead or something. Yeah, that'll save you money,
- 55:02Speaker 1: But does it really make as much sense. Anything can happen,
- 55:04Speaker 1: of course and could make sense, but it's just tougher
- 55:07Speaker 1: to have it all shake out. So you have to
- 55:08Speaker 1: really look at roster construction when it comes to that.
- 55:10Speaker 1: But I like to call out for sure and think
- 55:12Speaker 1: there's definitely some meat on the bone there. If it
- 55:15Speaker 1: ends up being that way, London could stand out if
- 55:17Speaker 1: others are spreading it around, or the score is lower,
- 55:19Speaker 1: different things like that. So great point FanDuel hoop, I'll
- 55:23Speaker 1: go to you. This is the two ic and then
- 55:24Speaker 1: I'll let you take over one is where's it at here?
- 55:28Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts is eighty eight hundred on DraftKings, eight k
- 55:32Speaker 1: on FanDuel, and Williams is ninety six hundred on DraftKings,
- 55:37Speaker 1: eighty four hundred on FanDuel for Kiren.
- 55:40Speaker 2: Yeah, Kiren's a big one. I think eighty four hundred
- 55:43Speaker 2: on FanDuel where his style of play definitely fits scoring
- 55:48Speaker 2: much better than on DraftKings. That's a cheap price tag
- 55:52Speaker 2: eighty four. He'll be much higher earned on a FanDuel
- 55:55Speaker 2: than over on DK. Those cheap running backs on DK
- 55:59Speaker 2: aren't cheap, they're the cheap backup running backs aren't as
- 56:02Speaker 2: cheap on FanDuel. Seventy two hundred for Quorum, and then
- 56:05Speaker 2: Ljier is seven k and then some of these cheap
- 56:08Speaker 2: pass catchers as well. Momfield forty six hundred, Mooney sixty
- 56:12Speaker 2: two hundred, Stills fifty four hundred, so they continue to
- 56:17Speaker 2: do a better job of pricing overall, I'd say on
- 56:21Speaker 2: these on these showdown slaves for the most part, so
- 56:24Speaker 2: the value is not as cheap on FanDuel as it
- 56:28Speaker 2: is over on DK our ferguson guys thirty four hundred
- 56:32Speaker 2: on both. You know, I think really good play like
- 56:35Speaker 2: David Stills is fifty four hundred on FanDuel and what
- 56:41Speaker 2: else like even Whittington. Whittington is forty two hundred on FanDuel.
- 56:45Speaker 2: So the cheap guys are a little more expensive, But
- 56:48Speaker 2: in terms of the spens Kyron Williams definitely stands out
- 56:52Speaker 2: at eighty four hundred on FanDuel, where again his scoring
- 56:55Speaker 2: fits FanDuel the way he scores fits fandel even better.
- 57:00Speaker 1: Yeah, title, did you see anything different? I mean some
- 57:01Speaker 1: of the stuff is correlated as well, like corum related
- 57:04Speaker 1: if you will, with Blake Korm being forty six hundred
- 57:07Speaker 1: moving to seventy two hundred versus the flip on the
- 57:10Speaker 1: other side, like on FanDuel, DraftKings are said ninety six
- 57:14Speaker 1: and forty six is five k on FanDuel. People are
- 57:16Speaker 1: just going to have that money to get to Williams
- 57:19Speaker 1: even if they like Korm, it's going to be optimizers
- 57:21Speaker 1: that get people there and things like that. But that's
- 57:23Speaker 1: a hard click on a single entry for a lot
- 57:25Speaker 1: of people, I'm sure, even though he could definitely be
- 57:27Speaker 1: the guy for twelve hundred bucks less anything else like
- 57:29Speaker 1: that that you saw or anything else that stood out.
- 57:31Speaker 3: Yeah, not really, you guys. The backup running backs being
- 57:34Speaker 3: way priced up and like the Mumfield's four hundred less
- 57:38Speaker 3: than Parkinson whereas it's twenty two hundred difference. I believe
- 57:41Speaker 3: it was on DraftKings or like the Whittington, the Stills,
- 57:44Speaker 3: So that's going to lead to like what value is
- 57:47Speaker 3: appropriately or miss priced? Davis Allen at twenty two hundred
- 57:50Speaker 3: I think will be a lot more popular on fandal
- 57:53Speaker 3: just because there's really no one else, like Charlie Warner
- 57:56Speaker 3: is the only one that will be on the field
- 57:57Speaker 3: a little bit right below and then Exaveer Smith three
- 58:00Speaker 3: k Ferguson three to four. I think that's where a
- 58:03Speaker 3: lot of people will go for the value because they're
- 58:05Speaker 3: cheaper than the Mumpfields, Stills Mooney. So yeah, it's actually
- 58:09Speaker 3: a pretty different slate on FanDuel relative to DraftKings.
- 58:11Speaker 1: Yeah, Ferguson's a good call too, same price both sites.
- 58:14Speaker 1: And the other point you make too, like Sills is
- 58:18Speaker 1: more on FanDuel than Parkinson. Yeah, nuts, it's twenty eight
- 58:24Speaker 1: under verse almost five K versus five k versus fifty
- 58:27Speaker 1: four hundred.
- 58:28Speaker 3: You think five one's popular on DraftKings, I mean five
- 58:31Speaker 3: to one, four to two on fanduels like it's gonna
- 58:35Speaker 3: be mega, mega popular because all those fringe algiers Mooney
- 58:39Speaker 3: Stills like their price up insane amount. And I think
- 58:42Speaker 3: Kickers might be a little more popular on FanDuel as well,
- 58:45Speaker 3: just because of better pricings. Yeah, Fandel's done better, to
- 58:49Speaker 3: be honest on the showdown, I don't know if you
- 58:50Speaker 3: want better pricing or worse pricing though, just with the
- 58:54Speaker 3: amount of money you can leave and all that. So
- 58:56Speaker 3: I truly don't don't know the answer to that. Main
- 58:58Speaker 3: slates give me better pricing all day long.
- 59:00Speaker 1: So yeah, interesting, that is interesting, I would say, based
- 59:04Speaker 1: on my results this year, I like the Draftking pricing better.
- 59:07Speaker 1: But h and maybe it is because certain things, like
- 59:09Speaker 1: you just people just get so fixated on something like
- 59:12Speaker 1: the brock Bowers slate. I remember, obviously he's brought powers
- 59:15Speaker 1: and it was eight K. I get it, but it
- 59:17Speaker 1: was like that was really the argument was he's a
- 59:19Speaker 1: K and so it just gets decided by a price
- 59:21Speaker 1: point that he's too cheap and therefore he has to
- 59:23Speaker 1: be twenty five percent of the captain. But it doesn't
- 59:26Speaker 1: always work out that way and he can easily have
- 59:28Speaker 1: a bad game and then that's why it's awesome. But yeah,
- 59:30Speaker 1: I like the pricing on DraftKings. It is such a
- 59:33Speaker 1: different slate though over on FanDuel title. Any other final
- 59:36Speaker 1: thoughts from you before from you before we get out of.
- 59:38Speaker 3: Here, No, I mean, even if you're not that excited
- 59:40Speaker 3: for rams Falcon seven point spread was close than I expected.
- 59:44Speaker 3: And yeah, it'll be a little over a month and
- 59:46Speaker 3: what no football for a long time, So I'm gonna
- 59:48Speaker 3: enjoy every single one of these. And hey, we got
- 59:51Speaker 3: who for the important thing. And he said he already
- 59:53Speaker 3: said his good luck to everyone if he if he left.
- 59:56Speaker 1: Yeah, he bailed on the outro man he didn't want
- 59:59Speaker 1: to give his final thoughts, but he did earlier. Like
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: you said, he gave him the good luck. So yeah,
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: I really appreciate everybody. Hopefully you had a good holidays
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: or if you're still celebrating, that's awesome. Let's see. We'll
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: get him back in one more, one more again.
- 1:00:11Speaker 4: There he is, here, he is.
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: I just wanted to wish I were a good luck
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: and happy new Year. I'll leave it at that because
