Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: All systems go.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Clear for liftoff. What's up, everyone? Tyler Tamblyn here, a.k.a.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Toe Tagging Tambo, back for another edition of Leverage Lane
- 0:41Speaker 2: here on the Shippen Nation YouTube station. We got week
- 0:43Speaker 2: five NFL DFS edition. Got my guy Alex Blickle here
- 0:46Speaker 2: with me as always. And I posted it out, Alex.
- 0:49Speaker 2: I think it's going to be one of our most
- 0:50Speaker 2: important episodes ever. This is a Very clear cut path
- 0:53Speaker 2: that a lot of people are on. So we will
- 0:54Speaker 2: get to that with the Detroit Arizona game being a
- 0:57Speaker 2: big factor. That's a really good leverage lane calls last
- 1:00Speaker 2: week yourself with the big boy over there with the
- 1:02Speaker 2: Kyron Williams just smashed. Could have been even better, I think.
- 1:05Speaker 2: So we'll talk about that a little bit and bring
- 1:06Speaker 2: it into this week. There's a conversation from last week
- 1:09Speaker 2: with the Jacksonville Cincinnati game. Parker washed in 10. Definitely
- 1:13Speaker 2: not a good game for him. And we talked about
- 1:14Speaker 2: that last week. And then on Sunday morning, double down
- 1:16Speaker 2: on it as well. And there's some differences between, I
- 1:19Speaker 2: think the Jacksonville Cincy game last week and the Detroit
- 1:22Speaker 2: Arizona game for this week. But there's going to be
- 1:24Speaker 2: a lot to talk about when we get to the
- 1:25Speaker 2: chalk build. very clear picture of what that kind of
- 1:28Speaker 2: looks like versus some of the weeks have been a
- 1:30Speaker 2: little bit trickier. And then how can we leverage that
- 1:32Speaker 2: other game stacks? We can use how to think about it.
- 1:35Speaker 2: And you know, the sample size, I want to talk
- 1:36Speaker 2: about that type of stuff too. Little Tambo tangent, maybe
- 1:39Speaker 2: some big ship at nation ship at games news. We'll
- 1:41Speaker 2: get to here shortly, but what's going on, my friend,
- 1:43Speaker 2: I said, your data mind, my game theory mind, blend
- 1:46Speaker 2: them all together in one. This should be a really
- 1:47Speaker 2: good one.
- 1:48Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm excited to talk through this slate. I think
- 1:50Speaker 3: it's a really tricky slate. And I think it's one
- 1:52Speaker 3: where like, you really need to be making purposeful decisions.
- 1:55Speaker 3: If you're just getting different for the sake of getting different,
- 1:57Speaker 3: you're probably going to get slammed. So we need to
- 2:00Speaker 3: be making some really kind of clever pivots off of
- 2:02Speaker 3: what people are doing. So we'll talk through the chalk build.
- 2:05Speaker 3: But yeah, man, last week was so much fun, right?
- 2:07Speaker 3: Like we play this game to have weeks like last
- 2:11Speaker 3: week and not just, you know, I had a very
- 2:14Speaker 3: nice week myself, but like the whole community really over
- 2:18Speaker 3: at Blick Analytics, there were just massive, massive hits all around.
- 2:21Speaker 3: I think The winnings totaled like over $ 400, 000. There were
- 2:25Speaker 3: three over 50K, two over 100K. It was just a
- 2:29Speaker 3: really fun week to be part of that community. And yeah,
- 2:32Speaker 3: hopefully we can repeat that and another Kyron Williams-level leverage
- 2:37Speaker 3: lane that will hopefully help us get there.
- 2:39Speaker 2: For sure. It's a nice thing about us doing this
- 2:42Speaker 2: together is we have a lot of crossover. I know
- 2:43Speaker 2: Donnie's in both communities. He won the 100K in the
- 2:45Speaker 2: afternoon only. At Shiba Nation, our guy B-Wald, pretty much,
- 2:50Speaker 2: he said it himself, life-changing source, $ 760 to $ 70, 000 plus.
- 2:56Speaker 2: that's the Sunday you're looking for in the dream. And
- 2:58Speaker 2: it just goes, goes to show like one lineup. That
- 3:00Speaker 2: was a single entry. It was in the a hundred
- 3:01Speaker 2: dollar with 50 K up top. It was another tournament
- 3:03Speaker 2: with 20 K you know, but played the one lineup
- 3:06Speaker 2: and not going outside of his realm every single week,
- 3:08Speaker 2: just waiting for it to happen. And that's, that's makes
- 3:11Speaker 2: the payoff. even better. And, you know, from my perspective,
- 3:14Speaker 2: I was super sick on Sunday, got even worse on Monday,
- 3:17Speaker 2: Tuesday and everybody, but I did have a good week.
- 3:18Speaker 2: It was a 12th place in the Millie maker. I
- 3:21Speaker 2: wish I had your Kyron Williams play in there over
- 3:24Speaker 2: some of the other stuff that would have made it
- 3:25Speaker 2: even better, but just the worst beat. Nobody cares, work harder,
- 3:29Speaker 2: but I didn't get to talk about it with anyone.
- 3:30Speaker 2: So I'll tell you, did you see what happened in
- 3:32Speaker 2: the Kansas city game where Walker scored the touchdown and
- 3:36Speaker 2: which was fine. Tyquan Thornton was never getting in, unfortunately
- 3:38Speaker 2: for him, the bad injury, but that was stopped at
- 3:40Speaker 2: the two. I know that Walker touchdown is coming. I'm like, okay,
- 3:43Speaker 2: there it is. But at least I have Bowers going
- 3:45Speaker 2: the other way. And that's kind of the end game
- 3:47Speaker 2: of the day. I should be good. The kickoff ensuing
- 3:50Speaker 2: kickoff goes to them. They fumble it. And then Walker
- 3:53Speaker 2: brings it in again for another touchdown.
- 3:56Speaker 1: On the very next play. Yeah.
- 3:59Speaker 2: So that, that took me kind of out of it.
- 4:01Speaker 2: I was first in the FFWC and it was like,
- 4:04Speaker 2: this was going to be it for sure. I still
- 4:06Speaker 2: get the Bowers touchdown and only lose by six points,
- 4:09Speaker 2: but it's like anything but the Walker situation and the
- 4:11Speaker 2: way it played out. So we're back to the grind
- 4:13Speaker 2: again this week. I got second in that I got
- 4:15Speaker 2: 12th in the mega Millie. And then on Wednesday this week,
- 4:18Speaker 2: I did it again in baseball, got two mega tickets
- 4:20Speaker 2: to the 44, 44. So we're back in it again
- 4:23Speaker 2: for this week. I think it's going to be a
- 4:24Speaker 2: fun one though. A lot to talk about here. Starting
- 4:27Speaker 2: with last week, you had the Kyron call. I know
- 4:29Speaker 2: everyone's going to be looking for the same thing this week,
- 4:32Speaker 2: but what were some of the things now for anyone
- 4:33Speaker 2: who didn't catch it last week that you sort of
- 4:35Speaker 2: saw and were able to bring that into your lane
- 4:38Speaker 2: and have confidence to say over all those other options
- 4:41Speaker 2: that he was going to be your guy? Because it's
- 4:43Speaker 2: not really results oriented when you talked about it beforehand.
- 4:46Speaker 2: You had your own stuff there. So I'll let you
- 4:47Speaker 2: go ahead on that one.
- 4:49Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, so this is one of those cases
- 4:51Speaker 3: where like the call really wasn't about football takes, you know,
- 4:56Speaker 3: it wasn't like, Oh man, this is a much better
- 4:57Speaker 3: matchup than people realize because of this or that. Like
- 5:00Speaker 3: it was just purely game theory. It was just, Hey,
- 5:03Speaker 3: I have a really good read on ownership here. There
- 5:06Speaker 3: are like five running backs in this, in this range.
- 5:08Speaker 3: I I'm let's see if we can remember the chalk
- 5:11Speaker 3: that was right around him. We, we had Jeremiah love
- 5:14Speaker 3: Aaron Jones, 100 bucks more. Yeah. Jones, there were, uh,
- 5:19Speaker 3: we had Scadaboo who was, was also clearly fading a
- 5:22Speaker 3: little bit in ownership. There was, there was another one
- 5:24Speaker 3: that was fairly popular. Um, regardless, like the way, the
- 5:30Speaker 3: way I talked it through, uh, for the leverage lane
- 5:32Speaker 3: was basically like the guys around him are not more
- 5:35Speaker 3: likely to succeed. And they're certainly not more likely to
- 5:37Speaker 3: give us like a huge score because Tyron's touchdown equity
- 5:41Speaker 3: was kind of his, you know, just in his own
- 5:43Speaker 3: tier there. And, uh, that really is, is what came
- 5:47Speaker 3: to fruition, right? Is, It helped that the Eagles secondary
- 5:50Speaker 3: did such a good job that Stafford was just checking
- 5:53Speaker 3: down all game. So that was really nice. But the touchdowns, right?
- 5:57Speaker 3: That's what it comes down to. And you mentioned the
- 6:01Speaker 3: Kenneth Walker run out. When Walker scored that second touchdown,
- 6:05Speaker 3: I couldn't help but think, my guys have never had
- 6:07Speaker 3: that kind of luck. Yeah, I feel that way for sure.
- 6:10Speaker 3: We're coming down the stretch. There's like eight minutes left
- 6:13Speaker 3: in the game. And I'm thinking, man, I just need
- 6:15Speaker 3: another eight points from this guy. And then all of
- 6:17Speaker 3: a sudden he gets... 22 fantasy points in like two
- 6:20Speaker 3: seconds of game time. Like, you know, that has never
- 6:23Speaker 3: once happened for me, but, uh, I will say Kyron
- 6:26Speaker 3: was pretty good down the stretch. He had, you know,
- 6:28Speaker 3: that final drive, he had a number of receptions, got
- 6:30Speaker 3: into the end zone for a second time.
- 6:32Speaker 1: But it, it played out the way that we hoped, right.
- 6:35Speaker 3: It was like, Hey, all of these guys who were getting,
- 6:37Speaker 3: you know, I, I had, uh, love steaming up to 35%.
- 6:40Speaker 3: That was one of the key reads ownership wise of,
- 6:44Speaker 3: of last week. There was absolutely no reason why Jeremiah
- 6:48Speaker 3: Love should have been three, almost four times as owned
- 6:51Speaker 3: as Kyron Williams.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Just look at what Kyron Williams has done over the
- 6:54Speaker 1: last couple of years.
- 6:55Speaker 3: And I think part of that too was like so
- 6:59Speaker 3: much about finding good DFS plays is just recognizing where
- 7:03Speaker 3: there's an ownership inefficiency. And with Kyron, there was a
- 7:07Speaker 3: clear ownership inefficiency in the sense that people were off
- 7:10Speaker 3: of him despite the massive drop in price. Because Corum's
- 7:14Speaker 3: role was increasing. But Corum's role is increasing in the
- 7:17Speaker 3: sense that he's going from 25% to 40% of the
- 7:21Speaker 3: carries in between the 20s. Kyron is still the passing
- 7:24Speaker 3: down guy. Kyron is still the goal line guy. Who
- 7:27Speaker 3: cares if he gets three or four fewer carries a
- 7:30Speaker 3: game in between the 20s when that's maybe a point and.
- 7:34Speaker 1: A half of equity or something like that. That doesn't matter.
- 7:37Speaker 3: That doesn't affect his overall range of outcomes. His ceiling
- 7:39Speaker 3: is still really, really good for that price as we
- 7:42Speaker 3: saw last week.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a few other guys. I was trying
- 7:44Speaker 2: to look at the chalk running backs from last week.
- 7:47Speaker 2: I'll flash it over here just to finish out this thought,
- 7:50Speaker 2: and then we'll go into it. Using DFSOS.com, code SHIPIT
- 7:54Speaker 2: over there gets you guys 50% off. If you want
- 7:56Speaker 2: to check it out and see how the best DFS
- 7:57Speaker 2: players actually play, you can get all the data, including
- 8:00Speaker 2: the new FanDuel data that you could never have before.
- 8:03Speaker 2: So you can see it works with all the sites
- 8:05Speaker 2: that you're already using out there. But if we look
- 8:07Speaker 2: at this last week, one drop king, I believe, won
- 8:09Speaker 2: the Mega Millie. just on an absolute tear shot at
- 8:12Speaker 2: the one drop King, but it was Jeremiah love Christian McCaffrey.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Aaron Jones was way up there. Chase Brown, Braylon Allen
- 8:20Speaker 2: had a little bit.
- 8:21Speaker 3: And then, yeah, like nobody, Chase Brown was the other
- 8:24Speaker 3: one I was thinking of. It was, it was Chase
- 8:25Speaker 3: Brown that, you know, and, and Brown ended up being
- 8:28Speaker 3: pretty good for the, for largely like the same reason
- 8:31Speaker 3: that Kyron was where he, he really ran hot in
- 8:33Speaker 3: terms of his receptions, but like even there, okay. The
- 8:36Speaker 3: difference is Kyron had more touchdown equity as we've seen
- 8:40Speaker 3: over the years. So, So, yeah, I thought just we
- 8:43Speaker 3: we had a we we were given a gift by
- 8:45Speaker 3: the field last week, both in the in the ownership
- 8:47Speaker 3: of that group of running backs and in the ownership
- 8:50Speaker 3: of that main Jacksonville Cincinnati game. I don't think we're
- 8:53Speaker 3: getting the same breaks this week. The truck this week
- 8:55Speaker 3: seems a lot stronger.
- 8:56Speaker 2: I got a segue. We'll get there in a second
- 8:57Speaker 2: for sure. Um, you know, Berga OD says tough week.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Can we really fade or we'll be on it? If
- 9:02Speaker 2: we just started with that, that would ruin the whole purpose.
- 9:05Speaker 2: You got to stick around with us. We've got a
- 9:06Speaker 2: lot to talk about, but we're not going to spend
- 9:07Speaker 2: much time reminiscing. We aren't going to spend much time
- 9:10Speaker 2: on marketing either, but I'm going to quickly tell you
- 9:12Speaker 2: there is a huge ship at games announcement. So I
- 9:14Speaker 2: got to make this, this is special. So Alex referenced it.
- 9:17Speaker 2: We had, you know, huge wins across our communities last week.
- 9:20Speaker 2: And one of our guys sharks, uh, sharks, 88, 19,
- 9:23Speaker 2: I believe he, he turned, I think it was, Thousand
- 9:27Speaker 2: or 1300s. Anyway, it was over 40,000 plus that he
- 9:31Speaker 2: won on a smaller amount of buy-ins. And he did
- 9:34Speaker 2: this last year. Jamie is his name. Just an awesome,
- 9:36Speaker 2: awesome dude. So shout out to Jamie. Shout out to Sharks.
- 9:39Speaker 2: But this is huge. A ship it donation. So donated $ 4, 853.
- 9:45Speaker 2: This is outlandish. So again, cannot say enough. Thanks. High
- 9:49Speaker 2: gratitude for sharks. Just an absolute stud to round up
- 9:54Speaker 2: the ship at games prize pool to $ 50, 000 cash and prizes.
- 9:56Speaker 2: So what does that mean?
- 10:01Speaker 3: Right?
- 10:02Speaker 2: When you're looking at it here, let me go back
- 10:03Speaker 2: to it. Just so you guys can see, if you
- 10:04Speaker 2: go to the website, ship at nation.com, if you're, you'll
- 10:07Speaker 2: be living under a rock, we're the only site giving
- 10:08Speaker 2: out 50,000 now in cash and prizes. But if you
- 10:11Speaker 2: go to ship at games and you click the link
- 10:14Speaker 2: at the top, It will show you here your any
- 10:17Speaker 2: all access and NFL only member is eligible. It's a
- 10:19Speaker 2: community driven contest. There is 50 golden ship it tickets available.
- 10:23Speaker 2: You can get in at any time. You can win
- 10:26Speaker 2: this week. The golden shipper that you play in the
- 10:28Speaker 2: top three win a golden ship a ticket. We now
- 10:31Speaker 2: have 12 winners four weeks in. So the prize pool
- 10:34Speaker 2: for them just all got bigger for what they'll be
- 10:37Speaker 2: playing for. There is still the remaining spots to go
- 10:39Speaker 2: so that you can get in starting this week. But
- 10:41Speaker 2: just so everybody knows, the prize pool got bumped. It
- 10:44Speaker 2: is now 12,000 for first as opposed to 10,000. Cash,
- 10:48Speaker 2: real money. 6,000 as opposed to 5,000. 3,000 as opposed
- 10:50Speaker 2: to 2,500. The 1250s for fourth and fifth went up
- 10:52Speaker 2: to 1,500. And the five placements of 1,000 from sixth
- 10:53Speaker 2: to 10th went up to 1200. You can see all
- 11:02Speaker 2: the details on ship at games.com, but all you have
- 11:05Speaker 2: to do is join ship at nation and be an
- 11:08Speaker 2: all access or NFL only member. Think about it like
- 11:11Speaker 2: another buy-in for your tournaments. You're just buying in, you're
- 11:13Speaker 2: getting a great community, ton of content, lots of stuff
- 11:16Speaker 2: incoming that we're working on. And then you get to
- 11:18Speaker 2: play in ship at games as well.
- 11:20Speaker 1: So that's like, uh, that's like doing satellites for free.
- 11:23Speaker 1: That's cool.
- 11:24Speaker 2: It's what we think about your, your content is a contest. Basically.
- 11:27Speaker 2: It's like you're buying into a satellite. You get to
- 11:28Speaker 2: play each week, no matter what, as long as you're in,
- 11:30Speaker 2: you get to hang out in the community. There's tons
- 11:32Speaker 2: of great people in there talking through strategies, things like that.
- 11:34Speaker 2: And then you actually get that as a bonus on
- 11:37Speaker 2: top of everything else. It's a fun thing that we do.
- 11:39Speaker 2: There will be a PGA ship at games. So I
- 11:42Speaker 2: would look at the annual membership if it saves you
- 11:44Speaker 2: some money there as well. But yeah, you don't see
- 11:45Speaker 2: somebody giving away $ 4, 853. So we have plans to take
- 11:48Speaker 2: care of sharks and, even more than he knows. But
- 11:52Speaker 2: just to note it, that's just an incredible gesture and
- 11:55Speaker 2: what the community is really all about. So as Alex said,
- 11:57Speaker 2: I think it was a million bucks across both communities
- 12:00Speaker 2: that people won and some combined in there, sure. But
- 12:03Speaker 2: it was a great week and we're trying to do
- 12:04Speaker 2: it again this week. Let's talk about this because it's
- 12:07Speaker 2: a segue to where we're going to go. We're not
- 12:08Speaker 2: going to spend much more time on last week, but
- 12:10Speaker 2: I talked about it at my leverage lane, Jacksonville, Cincinnati,
- 12:13Speaker 2: just getting crazy ownership last week in that spot. It
- 12:16Speaker 2: was just like being fixated on as the game of
- 12:19Speaker 2: the week. I can look at it and you could
- 12:21Speaker 2: talk about it, but not the same this week, right?
- 12:24Speaker 2: I don't think this week you're looking at the, uh,
- 12:26Speaker 2: the Detroit Arizona game thinking it's like the Jacksonville Cincy
- 12:29Speaker 2: game of last week. Are you?
- 12:31Speaker 3: No, I mean, so I, I would even go as
- 12:34Speaker 3: far as to say like the, the difference in the
- 12:37Speaker 3: totals doesn't even tell the full story because, uh, on the,
- 12:42Speaker 3: like it's, I think it's, it might be up to
- 12:44Speaker 3: nine now, but whether it's an eight point difference or
- 12:45Speaker 3: a nine point difference between that total and the second
- 12:48Speaker 3: highest total, like the other thing is so many of
- 12:51Speaker 3: these other games have rain issues or some wind issues.
- 12:55Speaker 3: And then with Arizona and Detroit, it's like you have
- 12:58Speaker 3: Detroit who's number one in terms of explosive passes allowed.
- 13:02Speaker 3: And then you have Arizona who's number six and explosive
- 13:04Speaker 3: pass allowed in terms of like allowing a ton.
- 13:07Speaker 1: So Detroit allows the most.
- 13:08Speaker 3: So so much of like DFS success and game environments
- 13:12Speaker 3: come from explosive pass plays. So it's not just that
- 13:14Speaker 3: we have this like huge difference in overall scoring equity,
- 13:17Speaker 3: but the way in which points are going to be
- 13:19Speaker 3: scored in this game seems to be conducive for DFS points.
- 13:23Speaker 1: This is a really, really hard slate.
- 13:26Speaker 3: We basically have two options and you know, we're kind
- 13:29Speaker 3: of jumping the gun a little bit here, but this
- 13:31Speaker 3: feels like a slate where you, you have to make
- 13:34Speaker 3: a decision every single lineup.
- 13:35Speaker 1: One of two things before you do anything else.
- 13:37Speaker 3: And the first is, I'm playing this game in a
- 13:39Speaker 3: different way or, you know, chalk sack in a contrarian way,
- 13:42Speaker 3: or I'm fading this game and I need the rest
- 13:45Speaker 3: of my lineup to tell the story of how this
- 13:47Speaker 3: game fails. Last week, I thought we could avoid that
- 13:50Speaker 3: Jacksonville Cincinnati game and kind of not worry about it.
- 13:53Speaker 1: It was just like, okay, well that game might let
- 13:55Speaker 1: people down. That's kind of what happened this week.
- 13:59Speaker 3: I don't think we can simply outscore those, uh, you know,
- 14:03Speaker 3: lineups with, with that game, unless our lineup is telling
- 14:06Speaker 3: a story of how that game fails. Whether that's, hey,
- 14:09Speaker 3: the Detroit defense just really shows up this week, gets
- 14:12Speaker 3: a bunch of sacks, and consequently it's a slower second
- 14:15Speaker 3: half game where Detroit just controls the ball and runs
- 14:17Speaker 3: the ball a lot.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Everything this week has to be a little bit more purposeful.
- 14:23Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think there's more to be talked about,
- 14:25Speaker 2: but I will start with my tangent. I said it
- 14:26Speaker 2: earlier just to go into it. I guess you're the
- 14:29Speaker 2: data guy, and you can definitely go against me on
- 14:31Speaker 2: this for certain, but I just... The sites that are
- 14:35Speaker 2: finding the information and the nuggets, I appreciate that side
- 14:37Speaker 2: of it. I love curating. Tambo's Tidbits, I've done for years.
- 14:41Speaker 2: I think it's very interesting still. I'm not shitting on this.
- 14:44Speaker 2: Don't take me wrong, but I just... Like the last
- 14:46Speaker 2: three times this happened or there's been seven events where
- 14:49Speaker 2: this was the case. It's not even against them. They're
- 14:52Speaker 2: putting out information. People want to learn it. I want
- 14:54Speaker 2: to I'm reading it. I'm talking about it. So it's working.
- 14:57Speaker 2: But like the last three weeks aren't this week. The
- 15:00Speaker 2: last seven events aren't this event. Success does leave clues.
- 15:03Speaker 2: And there's things we want to pick up from these
- 15:04Speaker 2: things and try and make cases and talk game theory
- 15:07Speaker 2: and and think about this stuff. But realistically, whatever happened
- 15:11Speaker 2: in the last seven games, the whole thing can change
- 15:14Speaker 2: for today. You got 0-4 teams that all of a
- 15:16Speaker 2: sudden blow another team out. They're not even supposed to.
- 15:17Speaker 2: The other night, Dallas was far and away. Nobody could
- 15:21Speaker 2: see Tampa Bay even sticking in that game, and they
- 15:24Speaker 2: win the game handily. It was easy for them.
- 15:26Speaker 3: So.
- 15:27Speaker 2: lots of shit changes and has nothing to do with that.
- 15:29Speaker 2: All we can do is take the data that we
- 15:31Speaker 2: have at hand, in my opinion, and that's what this
- 15:33Speaker 2: show is all about and say, okay, here's what everybody's doing.
- 15:37Speaker 2: We at least know that that's a nice part. We
- 15:38Speaker 2: know what everyone's doing. How can we go against that?
- 15:41Speaker 2: Or what would it look like if we were, and
- 15:43Speaker 2: especially from a, you know, single entry perspective where it's like,
- 15:46Speaker 2: if you only got one shot, how do you want
- 15:48Speaker 2: to handle that? Knowing that everybody else only has one shot.
- 15:51Speaker 2: And then we do talk a little bit of one
- 15:52Speaker 2: lineup stuff too. Like what if everybody else has one,
- 15:54Speaker 2: 150 and you've got one from a satellite ticket. So
- 15:58Speaker 2: talk to me a little bit about that. I'm sure
- 16:00Speaker 2: you've seen some of it as well. Maybe dug into
- 16:02Speaker 2: it yourself as well. Like, what are you seeing? What
- 16:04Speaker 2: do you think of that? Does it matter? How much
- 16:06Speaker 2: do you take away from it? I'm very curious.
- 16:10Speaker 1: It's a good question.
- 16:11Speaker 3: I mean, I think the thing we always have to
- 16:14Speaker 3: remember is like the, the NFL, we would love it
- 16:17Speaker 3: if we had a great sample sizes and we could
- 16:19Speaker 3: take a lot from, from the data, but the truth
- 16:22Speaker 3: is like these games are so volatile.
- 16:24Speaker 1: They're so random.
- 16:25Speaker 3: Uh, I think that, you know, you mentioned like, you know,
- 16:29Speaker 3: they're like the.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Last seven times this happened.
- 16:31Speaker 3: Well, like a sample size of seven NFL games is
- 16:34Speaker 3: literally meaningless for, for what's going to happen in the future.
- 16:37Speaker 3: I did think there were, there were a couple, uh,
- 16:39Speaker 3: like really good, um, either comparisons or my data points
- 16:44Speaker 3: that I did see people make around the, around the industry.
- 16:46Speaker 1: So I'll give two quick shouts, a jam to win.
- 16:49Speaker 3: I thought made a really good comparison, really good analogy
- 16:52Speaker 3: where this is like a core slate in MLB DFS.
- 16:55Speaker 3: I'm not going to spend too much time on that
- 16:57Speaker 3: analogy because I think a lot of people watching probably
- 17:00Speaker 3: don't play MLB DFS, but essentially it's just like, man,
- 17:03Speaker 3: there's this one game that goes so far above everything else.
- 17:08Speaker 3: And one of the things I always look for, like
- 17:09Speaker 3: the very first thing I look for on a core
- 17:11Speaker 3: slate is like, okay, well, is there a cheap pitcher
- 17:14Speaker 3: that I can help, that can both help differentiate me
- 17:18Speaker 3: from the field, but also can help me fit in these,
- 17:22Speaker 3: you know, really high price stacks in course field, so
- 17:24Speaker 3: on and so forth. And so, you know, one of
- 17:25Speaker 3: the first questions that we should be asking about this
- 17:28Speaker 3: slate is, well, do we have pieces that we can
- 17:31Speaker 3: use around this game that can not just help us
- 17:34Speaker 3: fit them, but also help us separate. And, uh, I,
- 17:36Speaker 3: I think that's one of the things that made that
- 17:39Speaker 3: where like this slate became really difficult is with the
- 17:42Speaker 3: Ashen Genting news where now you have the entire field
- 17:45Speaker 3: has access to $ 4, 200 Mike Washington and, but projects extremely well.
- 17:50Speaker 3: You can't really differentiate around him.
- 17:53Speaker 1: You can't pivot off of him to, you know, another $ 4, 300.
- 17:55Speaker 3: Running back or something like that and expect to separate
- 17:58Speaker 3: from Mike Washington. And so that part makes it a
- 18:01Speaker 3: little bit difficult. And then the second thing that I
- 18:03Speaker 3: really enjoyed kind of focusing on this game was from
- 18:06Speaker 3: Sam Brott of ETR who talked about the other games
- 18:10Speaker 3: that were like this. But the interesting thing about his
- 18:12Speaker 3: analysis was he looked at it like, well, okay, when
- 18:14Speaker 3: those games go off. So like, let's say, Let's say
- 18:17Speaker 3: we knew ahead of time that this Detroit-Arizona game was
- 18:19Speaker 3: going to finish 38-31. Is that enough to say that
- 18:23Speaker 3: we know for sure that we need this game, that
- 18:26Speaker 3: we need pieces from this game? Or is it possible
- 18:29Speaker 3: for a game like that to really hit? But it's
- 18:31Speaker 3: random guys, right? It's Elijah Higgins catching a touchdown. And
- 18:34Speaker 3: then it's Penny Sewell catching a touchdown for Detroit. And
- 18:37Speaker 3: maybe there's a defensive touchdown here or there. And it's
- 18:40Speaker 3: like maybe the production is balanced enough where Gibbs gets 25.
- 18:44Speaker 1: St. Brown gets 20. Laporta gets 15. Jameson Williams gets 14.
- 18:48Speaker 3: On the other side, it's like McBride gets 22.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Michael Wilson gets 17.
- 18:52Speaker 3: It's like, these are all fine scores, but there's not
- 18:55Speaker 3: a single score that you need to have in your lineup.
- 18:57Speaker 3: And so I thought it was really cool the way
- 18:59Speaker 3: he kind of broke it down and just talked about like,
- 19:01Speaker 3: even if this game hits, it doesn't guarantee that we're
- 19:03Speaker 3: going to need it. And so, yeah, it's, it's just
- 19:05Speaker 3: like a really, really unique puzzle this week that we
- 19:08Speaker 3: have to solve. And as you and I have talked about, like, that's,
- 19:11Speaker 3: that's what we think is the most fun part of DFS.
- 19:14Speaker 3: So even though this is a difficult week, I think
- 19:16Speaker 3: it's just an enjoyable one to, for one thing, just
- 19:19Speaker 3: sit here and talk through, but then also, you know,
- 19:21Speaker 3: really dive in deep tonight. I'm, I think this is
- 19:24Speaker 3: a week where, you know, ownership projections could change a lot,
- 19:27Speaker 3: not just with news, but also as people search for
- 19:31Speaker 3: different ways to, you know, sneakily play this game. And,
- 19:34Speaker 3: and I think, you know, as, as we talked about
- 19:36Speaker 3: a lot of the time, like the number one, formula
- 19:40Speaker 3: for steam on a player, you know, someone who's projected
- 19:43Speaker 3: at 10% and 25% and everyone's like, well, how the
- 19:45Speaker 3: hell did that happen? The number one way that happens
- 19:47Speaker 3: is everybody has the same thought where, Hey, this is
- 19:49Speaker 3: really sneaky. It's actually not sneaky. And I think that's
- 19:52Speaker 3: one of the things I do pretty well over with
- 19:54Speaker 3: the ownership analysis is like finding who everyone thinks is
- 19:58Speaker 3: sneaky and ends up not being sneaky.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Yeah. If you're thinking it's chances are others are more
- 20:02Speaker 2: than you, more than you think that's, that's one of
- 20:03Speaker 2: them for sure. And Greg, we'll definitely get to this.
- 20:05Speaker 2: That's part of leverage lane. If you're joining us for
- 20:07Speaker 2: the first time, make sure to hit that thumbs up,
- 20:09Speaker 2: subscribe to the channel, but we do talk about game
- 20:11Speaker 2: stacks later. And one of the things about a slate
- 20:13Speaker 2: like this too, is like, yes, I think this is
- 20:15Speaker 2: when we get to the common build here in a second,
- 20:17Speaker 2: Alex of, you know, Brissette, Wilson and McBride. That is
- 20:21Speaker 2: a lot of the target share over there. So you're,
- 20:23Speaker 2: you know, you say that's the other tricky part of it.
- 20:25Speaker 2: You're like, well, it might not work out, but it's like, well,
- 20:27Speaker 2: if it does for them though, it's kind of, you know,
- 20:29Speaker 2: where it's going. Typically you can make a case for
- 20:32Speaker 2: Harrison and born and things like that and love. And
- 20:34Speaker 2: we'll talk about all that stuff. We get there, but
- 20:36Speaker 2: just noting it, it's like, usually when you're looking for
- 20:39Speaker 2: another game stack, you can find something that's more condensed.
- 20:42Speaker 2: And if it was to hit, you're like, well, that
- 20:43Speaker 2: gives me a bunch of stuff going to one spot
- 20:46Speaker 2: for points that could make up for those others. I
- 20:48Speaker 2: might even be getting discounts as it's a salary constraint
- 20:51Speaker 2: game that we play. So I'm getting that. Those can
- 20:53Speaker 2: work in my favor, but then I'm also getting a
- 20:55Speaker 2: unique build. Most people only have Gibbs. I've now got Gibbs,
- 20:59Speaker 2: this guy and this guy, and most people can't get
- 21:01Speaker 2: to all three of them at the same time or
- 21:03Speaker 2: something like that. So when you can find that and
- 21:05Speaker 2: work it in your favor, I definitely think that's a
- 21:06Speaker 2: way to leverage it. And we'll get to that later.
- 21:08Speaker 2: But before we do, let's go over here now. Um,
- 21:12Speaker 2: anything else you want to touch on from last week
- 21:13Speaker 2: before we get into this? I mean, this to me,
- 21:15Speaker 2: I said is like a woman, you know, you did
- 21:17Speaker 2: the baseball analogy, um, or, or, uh, somebody else did,
- 21:20Speaker 2: but I'm saying like the the golf analogy, most people
- 21:23Speaker 2: that have watched us before on leverage lane is a
- 21:24Speaker 2: PGA DFS edition. It's the weeks we have to have
- 21:27Speaker 2: the Scotty Scheffler conversation and how does that work? And
- 21:31Speaker 2: I think something that, again, whether people follow PGA DFS
- 21:33Speaker 2: or not, that's kind of a takeaway for me with
- 21:35Speaker 2: that is what I was just hitting on before the
- 21:38Speaker 2: previous point of with Scotty Scheffler, the conversation is about, Like, okay,
- 21:43Speaker 2: if him, then this, that means this gets left open, right?
- 21:47Speaker 2: This is an area that people just can't get to,
- 21:50Speaker 2: or this is a thing people can't get to it
- 21:52Speaker 2: because there's stacking and correlation and more of it in
- 21:55Speaker 2: football and NFL DFS. It's like, okay, if people are
- 21:58Speaker 2: landing here, that means they probably aren't getting to this
- 22:02Speaker 2: and they put, you know, and they can't get to
- 22:04Speaker 2: this or they wouldn't be able to do that. And
- 22:06Speaker 2: that's what we want to talk about on this show.
- 22:08Speaker 3: So yeah, Yeah, on that point, I think Gibbs is
- 22:14Speaker 3: like Scottie Scheffler this week, for sure.
- 22:16Speaker 1: I think that's another really good comparison.
- 22:18Speaker 3: And to that point, one of the things that we
- 22:22Speaker 3: talked about all season with Scottie was whether or not
- 22:25Speaker 3: to play Scottie isn't about how well you think Scottie's
- 22:29Speaker 3: going to play. It's how good are the pieces that
- 22:33Speaker 3: you need to play in order to fit him. And
- 22:36Speaker 3: sometimes major championships is like, the $ 6, 000, $ 7, 000 players were
- 22:40Speaker 3: actually really good players. A lot of the time, they
- 22:42Speaker 3: were crappy players. And I was like, you can't play
- 22:45Speaker 3: Scottie because even if he wins, your line was probably
- 22:47Speaker 3: going to suck. This is one of those weeks where
- 22:49Speaker 3: Gibbs is at a price point where, by all means,
- 22:53Speaker 3: he should do well, but you need cheap plays that
- 22:58Speaker 3: are actually good to fit him. And like I said,
- 23:00Speaker 3: unfortunately now with Mike Washington and a couple other spots
- 23:04Speaker 3: at receiver, I do think this is a week where, yeah,
- 23:08Speaker 3: He's probably a very good play, and he's deserving of
- 23:11Speaker 3: the ownership he's going to get, and that ownership might
- 23:12Speaker 3: be as high as 60%, maybe even 70% in certain
- 23:16Speaker 3: high-stakes single-entry contests.
- 23:18Speaker 2: Yeah. So let's do this. I've got, this is a version. Look,
- 23:21Speaker 2: there's a bunch of ways you go. Roman Wilson could
- 23:23Speaker 2: be until Williams. If people play him and wait on
- 23:26Speaker 2: the news, there is a bunch of injury news that
- 23:27Speaker 2: we're still waiting on. I feel like we have a
- 23:28Speaker 2: clear path to some of it. But just looking at
- 23:31Speaker 2: this right now, I think kind of the setup again,
- 23:34Speaker 2: could be off in a couple of spots, but Jacoby Wilson, McBride,
- 23:38Speaker 2: you get Gibbs in there. You got no Manung guy.
- 23:41Speaker 2: I threw Swift in what the gentee official news, by
- 23:45Speaker 2: the way, is what, let me just go to what
- 23:46Speaker 2: it is now. It was came out that he got
- 23:48Speaker 2: downgraded and then yesterday, but I'm going to run over here.
- 23:52Speaker 1: He fully missed practice, I believe.
- 23:54Speaker 3: So, um, you know, the, the data puts that at
- 23:57Speaker 3: like something like 80% to miss.
- 23:59Speaker 2: Yeah. Thursday to D he went from limited Thursday to
- 24:02Speaker 2: DMP Friday with the ankle questionable, uh, for a team
- 24:05Speaker 2: that just ruled out four core.
- 24:06Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 24:07Speaker 2: That's another piece of information there, but just to note it.
- 24:09Speaker 2: So We're assuming that we're going to see Washington in here. Now,
- 24:14Speaker 2: let me go back. And so I threw him in.
- 24:18Speaker 2: I threw Roman Wilson and Trey Harris, and it let
- 24:22Speaker 2: you afford the Bengals. You could change this around. If
- 24:24Speaker 2: it's a cheaper D, which it probably is, if we
- 24:26Speaker 2: look at ownership this week, it can be spread out.
- 24:29Speaker 2: But I don't think people are going to care that much.
- 24:30Speaker 2: But if you went to, say, the Commanders. is more popular,
- 24:34Speaker 2: it would get you more money to upgrade one of
- 24:36Speaker 2: Harris or Wilson. Obviously, Quentin Johnston ruled out there, so
- 24:40Speaker 2: Harris is picking up a little bit of steam. I
- 24:42Speaker 2: think Roman Wilson was already popping in a lot of
- 24:44Speaker 2: places because of the Pittman stuff. So, I don't know.
- 24:46Speaker 2: Close enough for me. Anything you want to comment on
- 24:49Speaker 2: here first before we start breaking it down?
- 24:52Speaker 1: No, I think, man, for one thing, I very much
- 24:56Speaker 1: agree with this.
- 24:57Speaker 3: I also would say the cheap wide receivers is where Initially,
- 25:03Speaker 3: I thought everyone was going to have to go. Yesterday
- 25:07Speaker 3: was kind of a crazy news day. Maybe it was
- 25:09Speaker 3: even Thursday where both Higgins and Chase were surprised like
- 25:13Speaker 3: full participants in practice. And it was really weird because
- 25:17Speaker 3: the only news I had heard previously was like Higgins
- 25:19Speaker 3: was spotted at practice showing up a little bit late
- 25:23Speaker 3: on his own because he wasn't participating in the first
- 25:25Speaker 3: few drills. He was doing some kind of rehab work
- 25:27Speaker 3: on the side. And then a couple hours later, it's like, oh,
- 25:30Speaker 3: by the way, he practiced in full. he's listed as
- 25:32Speaker 3: a full participant. So, you know, that was strange. I,
- 25:35Speaker 3: I do still think like there's a chance that we
- 25:37Speaker 3: learned that maybe Higgins isn't going to play or he's, he's, uh,
- 25:41Speaker 3: he's leaning towards not playing today. So we'll see what
- 25:43Speaker 3: that news is like when we get it this afternoon.
- 25:45Speaker 3: But yeah, it, it looked like, you know, there were,
- 25:48Speaker 3: there were going to be one, maybe even two potential cheap, uh,
- 25:52Speaker 3: since he receivers, it looked like a sick, he was
- 25:54Speaker 3: going to be a super popular tight end. Now that's
- 25:56Speaker 3: out the window, but Right as we thought, okay, now
- 25:59Speaker 3: there's going to be fewer ways for people to fit
- 26:01Speaker 3: this Detroit-Arizona game, then the Gentine news hit, and now
- 26:04Speaker 3: it looks like Mike Washington. It's going to be a
- 26:08Speaker 3: really difficult week to solve because everything that the field
- 26:11Speaker 3: is doing is really, really high probability of success. We
- 26:18Speaker 3: either have to try to thread a.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Very thin needle, or we need to.
- 26:27Speaker 3: Get off of it and tell a story that's not
- 26:31Speaker 3: likely to work out, but it has a chance to,
- 26:34Speaker 3: to work out. And then, then the question is like, okay,
- 26:36Speaker 3: if you're not playing that game, which of the ugly
- 26:39Speaker 3: games do you go to that has a better chance
- 26:41Speaker 3: of success than, than what the, uh, you know, the,
- 26:43Speaker 3: the Vegas total implies.
- 26:45Speaker 2: Yeah, so one of the things I talked about earlier
- 26:47Speaker 2: with all that said, because it is a tricky week
- 26:49Speaker 2: from that perspective, but you mentioned it with, I always
- 26:52Speaker 2: forget how to pronounce his username, but like Wah-Wah-Woo-Ha or whatever,
- 26:55Speaker 2: like Wah-Woo-Ha over here.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Sam who I mentioned earlier.
- 26:58Speaker 2: Sam, yeah, that's right. I forgot his first name, but
- 27:00Speaker 2: just to note, obviously very sharp, extremely good DFS player
- 27:03Speaker 2: across all sports, a lot of respect for him. I
- 27:05Speaker 2: think the note there, I would say, is like, that
- 27:08Speaker 2: was one of the ones I referenced where it's like,
- 27:09Speaker 2: there's three games. So it is what it is, but,
- 27:12Speaker 2: but the best part, well, and you, you did talk
- 27:14Speaker 2: about this a little bit already, but noting it is
- 27:16Speaker 2: that on all the slates, like these other games still
- 27:20Speaker 2: pop off. Like one of the problems people like mistakes,
- 27:22Speaker 2: I think people make when they're still 11 games on
- 27:23Speaker 2: the slate is like, just because this game is eight
- 27:26Speaker 2: points apart, nothing else is going to pop off. That
- 27:28Speaker 2: was in JM's information. Another, you know, sharp DFS player.
- 27:32Speaker 2: I've been doing it for years. A lot of respect
- 27:33Speaker 2: for him as well over one week season says, you know,
- 27:37Speaker 2: He's got the seven game sample. Again, I don't like
- 27:39Speaker 2: the seven game and like there's a top score on
- 27:41Speaker 2: those slates. You got to go find. Yes, there is.
- 27:43Speaker 2: But also you could play that top score with the
- 27:45Speaker 2: games that went off. It's more about when the game
- 27:48Speaker 2: went off, were the pieces needed in that game to
- 27:52Speaker 2: make an optimal or to make the lineup that we're
- 27:54Speaker 2: looking for? Or could you get to it in a
- 27:55Speaker 2: different path? And you could have just got the pieces
- 27:58Speaker 2: from that game and the top score from the other games.
- 28:01Speaker 2: But the one piece that stood out was how everybody
- 28:03Speaker 2: just writes off the 45 point totals. Like one of
- 28:06Speaker 2: those games can have 60 points. Two of them can, like,
- 28:08Speaker 2: you have no idea what's going to happen. I think
- 28:10Speaker 2: there was a game during one of those sets, Alex,
- 28:12Speaker 2: where it was like, I think it was the 39
- 28:14Speaker 2: and a half total. And it got to 61 points.
- 28:17Speaker 2: And it's like, no one would expect it. No, no, exactly.
- 28:20Speaker 2: But especially in the larger field tournaments, I think there's
- 28:22Speaker 2: definitely some conversation to be had here for the sizing
- 28:25Speaker 2: of your tournaments. We already know that overstacks are better
- 28:30Speaker 2: in smaller field tournaments, right? If you're playing in a
- 28:32Speaker 2: smaller field tournament where it's like that's way more likely
- 28:34Speaker 2: to happen, the 39-point total that scores 60 is not
- 28:39Speaker 2: likely to be in many rosters. So you're not as
- 28:41Speaker 2: scared of it as you might be. It's no different
- 28:43Speaker 2: than we talk about in a super large field tournament
- 28:46Speaker 2: when everyone's like, well, oh, freaking– 0.1% Sean Tucker just
- 28:50Speaker 2: broke the slate. Well, no, he didn't because he's 0.1%.
- 28:53Speaker 2: So he's only in a very limited number of lineups
- 28:56Speaker 2: and they screwed it up somewhere else. Not their fault,
- 28:59Speaker 2: but it just happened. So it's not likely to hurt
- 29:01Speaker 2: you at all. The week that that happened, I'm referencing
- 29:03Speaker 2: was like a Bucky Irving week. A couple of years ago,
- 29:05Speaker 2: he was chalk. He still got like 25 points and
- 29:07Speaker 2: did well, but Sean Tucker, I think had 38 or 37.
- 29:10Speaker 2: Didn't show up anywhere in the top 10 lineups in
- 29:13Speaker 2: the Millie maker, the $ 20, the big one. Now, when
- 29:15Speaker 2: you got the smaller field, this is where people are
- 29:17Speaker 2: having a tougher time of saying, why am I going
- 29:20Speaker 2: to try and figure out the game stack I need
- 29:22Speaker 2: when I can just play this game stack and then,
- 29:24Speaker 2: you know, mix some pieces in around it. So let's
- 29:28Speaker 2: start having that conversation because I think that's the key
- 29:31Speaker 2: component here of, you know, this is the chalk style build,
- 29:36Speaker 2: but the chalk style build is going to be fitting
- 29:38Speaker 2: in a lot of value pieces. right? Mike Washington, Trey Harris,
- 29:42Speaker 2: Roman Wilson. We'll see about Williams and some of these
- 29:46Speaker 2: other guys from your data and your data construction or
- 29:49Speaker 2: your roster construction data. Just talk a little bit about
- 29:52Speaker 2: what is good when it comes to that type of stuff.
- 29:55Speaker 2: Like where are people reaching for the chalk versus sometimes
- 29:58Speaker 2: like Mike Washington is a $ 4, 200 potentially starting running back here.
- 30:02Speaker 2: We're expecting it to be the case. Where does the
- 30:05Speaker 2: data say to go and where does it say to avoid,
- 30:08Speaker 2: if you will, in some of these spots like this?
- 30:11Speaker 1: It's a great question.
- 30:13Speaker 3: One thing I'll kind of caution ahead of time is
- 30:15Speaker 3: like we can talk about how cheap running back chalk
- 30:20Speaker 3: has performed in the past, but we also need to
- 30:23Speaker 3: contextualize that with like a lot of the time when
- 30:26Speaker 3: people have played cheap running back chalk in the past,
- 30:28Speaker 3: it's like they're, they're a little bit desperate, right? They, they,
- 30:32Speaker 3: they know, okay, I want to jam in Puka. I
- 30:34Speaker 3: want to jam in Gibbs, whoever it's been from, uh,
- 30:37Speaker 3: from past seasons. I want to jam in Christian McCaffrey.
- 30:39Speaker 3: And in order to do that, I'll play this guy
- 30:42Speaker 3: at 4,800, something like that, who like he's, he's got
- 30:46Speaker 3: a role. Maybe he's the pass down back, but I'm
- 30:49Speaker 3: playing him solely so that I can get the other
- 30:53Speaker 3: pieces of my lamp that I want. Whereas Mike Washington
- 30:56Speaker 3: here is like, if, if Gibbs is out the rest
- 31:00Speaker 3: of the season and Washington is just the lead back,
- 31:03Speaker 3: he's going to be 6,500, $ 7, 000 by the end of
- 31:05Speaker 3: the season. Like almost no question about it. So you're
- 31:08Speaker 3: getting like 2,500 to $ 3, 000 worth of discount on a player. It,
- 31:15Speaker 3: the New England defense is really beat up. There's no
- 31:17Speaker 3: Carlton Davis. There's no Christian Gonzalez. I think Barmore is
- 31:20Speaker 3: probably still out for them. I could be wrong about that,
- 31:23Speaker 3: so don't quote me on that one. But the point being,
- 31:25Speaker 3: this is a good spot. He projects really, really well.
- 31:28Speaker 3: His probability of success is really high. We don't need
- 31:32Speaker 3: past roster construction data to tell us that, hey, Mike
- 31:35Speaker 3: Washington is likely to succeed and he's unlikely to fail here.
- 31:39Speaker 3: That being said, what we have seen in the past
- 31:42Speaker 3: is that running back is the position you You want
- 31:45Speaker 3: to pay up for chalk a little bit more, and
- 31:49Speaker 3: you want to differentiate a little.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Bit more at the top of wide receiver.
- 31:53Speaker 3: Now, I think one of the kind of ways we
- 31:56Speaker 3: can interpret that is that both the field and this
- 31:59Speaker 3: kind of the way it plays out, there's more of
- 32:02Speaker 3: a priority on the floor for running backs, more of
- 32:06Speaker 3: a priority on ceiling for wide receivers.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Makes sense.
- 32:10Speaker 3: The range of outcomes is a little bit more narrow
- 32:12Speaker 3: for running backs, especially guys like Washington and Gibbs who
- 32:15Speaker 3: kind of have this full role. Uh, whereas at receiver,
- 32:18Speaker 3: the range of outcomes is a lot wider because you
- 32:20Speaker 3: get so many more explosive plays. You get those games
- 32:23Speaker 3: like city lamb had, where the defense apparently is just like, okay,
- 32:27Speaker 3: with you going off and catching every, every pass. Whereas
- 32:30Speaker 3: there are other games where it's like, you know, CD,
- 32:32Speaker 3: let's say CD has seven receptions in the first half.
- 32:34Speaker 3: Like everything they're doing in the second half is designed
- 32:37Speaker 3: to say, okay, he's not going to beat us in
- 32:39Speaker 3: the second half.
- 32:39Speaker 1: We're going to make somebody else beat us. And then
- 32:41Speaker 1: they do.
- 32:41Speaker 3: And so, uh, There's just a much wider range of
- 32:44Speaker 3: outcomes for receivers, and so you get that pattern in
- 32:48Speaker 3: the roster construction data.
- 32:49Speaker 1: But yeah, again, what that.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Says is, okay, if we should be prioritizing expensive running
- 32:57Speaker 3: back chalk more than cheap running back chalk, if you're
- 33:01Speaker 3: then saying, therefore, I don't want to play Mike Washington,
- 33:05Speaker 3: the question is, how do you fade him? You can't
- 33:07Speaker 3: just say, all right, I'm not going to play him.
- 33:09Speaker 3: I'm going to throw in a different running back around him.
- 33:12Speaker 3: that's way too unlikely to succeed. So I think what
- 33:15Speaker 3: you have to do is number one, like you have
- 33:16Speaker 3: to tell a story of how he fails. And then
- 33:18Speaker 3: number two, you have to just avoid that price range
- 33:23Speaker 3: at both the running back and the flex position.
- 33:25Speaker 1: You need, you know, you need, uh.
- 33:29Speaker 3: You need a structure where like your lineup can hit
- 33:33Speaker 3: and you don't necessarily need any of your guys to
- 33:36Speaker 3: be competing directly with Mike Washington. So again, like that's,
- 33:39Speaker 3: that's part of why this is a very complex week. And,
- 33:42Speaker 3: I think a lot of DFS concepts that in a
- 33:45Speaker 3: lot of weeks, like they play a role, but they're
- 33:47Speaker 3: subtle this week. There's nothing subtle about that. You know,
- 33:50Speaker 3: all of these kinds of complex issues are, are really
- 33:53Speaker 3: important in jumping to the forefront.
- 33:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's easy though, too, for like a
- 33:57Speaker 2: lot of people just to say, you know, this week
- 33:59Speaker 2: is kind of a crapshoot because it's this game or bust.
- 34:02Speaker 2: I think the best players, the best DFS players are
- 34:04Speaker 2: going to win this week. You can say it any week.
- 34:06Speaker 2: I get it. Typically, it's what you see anyway. I'm
- 34:08Speaker 2: just noting it that it's like, you can't always do that.
- 34:11Speaker 2: You go to a poker tournament. You're like, yeah, the
- 34:12Speaker 2: best player is probably going to end up at the
- 34:13Speaker 2: final table. Yes, it's a high skill game. There's a
- 34:16Speaker 2: lot of thought process. The reason that is that some
- 34:19Speaker 2: people don't recognize, and it's just a random poker analogy
- 34:22Speaker 2: I have, but a lot of people can pick up
- 34:24Speaker 2: a stack early on in a poker tournament, right? And
- 34:27Speaker 2: then what happens is as the blinds go up and
- 34:29Speaker 2: the decisions become harder, they make mistakes and there's leaks
- 34:33Speaker 2: and there's just errors and a better player capitalizes on
- 34:37Speaker 2: that and ends up stealing their stack or taking it away.
- 34:40Speaker 2: And then there's luck involved. Somebody gets lucky on a
- 34:43Speaker 2: move that they made and pulls it off. This would
- 34:44Speaker 2: be an example for me. And it's nothing against Bryant.
- 34:47Speaker 2: It's a good question. I'm sure other people are thinking this,
- 34:49Speaker 2: but thoughts on stacking up the Arizona Detroit game, but
- 34:52Speaker 2: then just swapping out the quarterback. You got all the
- 34:54Speaker 2: dudes from the game that are the most correlated with
- 34:57Speaker 2: to the quarterback. And you're going to hope for like
- 35:00Speaker 2: a 1.2 or 2.3 on your QB swap that ends
- 35:03Speaker 2: up bringing you ahead of all those other game stacks.
- 35:06Speaker 2: Can it work? Could it happen? And me and I
- 35:08Speaker 2: look like, you know, egg on my face here.
- 35:09Speaker 3: Sure.
- 35:10Speaker 2: Is it foolish? Yes. Very right. And I know Alex,
- 35:13Speaker 2: you saw this the other day too. Somebody Mayo and
- 35:15Speaker 2: I talked about as well. like oh i'm gonna play
- 35:18Speaker 2: gibbs i'm gonna play mcbride and i'm gonna play wilson
- 35:22Speaker 2: and then i'm gonna switch it up and go completely
- 35:24Speaker 2: different it's like if if all that stuff actually gets
- 35:27Speaker 2: there together it's just gonna be so so random i
- 35:30Speaker 2: do want to talk about that though versus like the
- 35:32Speaker 2: gibbs versus mcbride like secondary stack that's not even forcing
- 35:36Speaker 2: it as much as it kind of makes some sense
- 35:37Speaker 2: but i'll let you go ahead first.
- 35:39Speaker 3: Yeah i i think the first the first thing i'll
- 35:41Speaker 3: say is like if If I were forced to do
- 35:43Speaker 3: something like that, the way that I would do it
- 35:45Speaker 3: is I would go cheap at quarterback, and I would
- 35:48Speaker 3: find someone who could be carried by a ceiling performance.
- 35:52Speaker 3: For example, you could sack this game, and then instead
- 35:54Speaker 3: of using Brissette or Goff, you could go Winston and neighbors,
- 35:59Speaker 3: because then at least you're saving money at quarterback, and
- 36:02Speaker 3: he has a very clear path to success. Anytime you
- 36:05Speaker 3: get the ceiling performance from neighbors, you know that $ 4, 800
- 36:08Speaker 3: Jameis Winston is going to hit. Like he did last week.
- 36:11Speaker 3: He came through for the early only slate for me.
- 36:14Speaker 3: That was a key piece of that win. But this
- 36:18Speaker 3: goes back to something we've talked about in the past.
- 36:21Speaker 3: One of the first, I think, moments that really resonated
- 36:26Speaker 3: with people watching Leverage Lane was this concept of we're
- 36:30Speaker 3: not trying to build lineups that can work. We're trying
- 36:33Speaker 3: to build lineups that are the best possible lineups that
- 36:35Speaker 3: we can build, that give us the best possible chance
- 36:38Speaker 3: of a top 1% finish and of a takedown. And
- 36:41Speaker 3: doing something like this, building an Arizona-Detroit stack and then
- 36:45Speaker 3: using a different quarterback, it's like it can work, but
- 36:49Speaker 3: it's a decision that takes your top 1% probability down
- 36:53Speaker 3: below 1%. It can still work, but it's now half
- 36:56Speaker 3: a percent or 0.7%. And our goal is to build
- 36:59Speaker 3: a lineup that takes us from 1% to 2% or
- 37:01Speaker 3: to 2.5% or to 3% chance of a top 1% finish.
- 37:02Speaker 3: That's not the kind of decision that does that.
- 37:08Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's a lot of things to be
- 37:09Speaker 2: said too. And even if I was doing that, just
- 37:11Speaker 2: of note, I would honestly go like Love, Gibbs, and
- 37:16Speaker 2: McBride or something. I would rather want it at the
- 37:18Speaker 2: onesie position of tight end, the running backs that make
- 37:21Speaker 2: it all happen. The other thing people forget is when
- 37:23Speaker 2: they play these receivers, and by the way, they learned
- 37:25Speaker 2: the hard way last week with Parker Washington. When you
- 37:28Speaker 2: play them hoping for just 15 to 20 points, that's
- 37:31Speaker 2: not going to do it in tournaments very often. Can it? Yes.
- 37:34Speaker 2: Like Alex just said, we don't talk about what could
- 37:36Speaker 2: work or what can work or what might. because that's
- 37:39Speaker 2: to make that repeatable and proven and to stick around
- 37:41Speaker 2: and play DFS for 10 plus years and have success
- 37:43Speaker 2: with it. That's not going to happen. You might get your, again,
- 37:45Speaker 2: some people, the one big win is all they need
- 37:47Speaker 2: or want and they'll be happy. Great. It could happen
- 37:49Speaker 2: for you, but I'm trying to play it for the
- 37:51Speaker 2: longterm and the upside and the, and the keep putting
- 37:53Speaker 2: ourselves in the position to pay it off. So if
- 37:56Speaker 2: I was doing that, it would be something more along
- 37:58Speaker 2: the lines of like, I've got pieces. Someone said, Oh,
- 38:00Speaker 2: you said, don't just play three pieces from that game.
- 38:02Speaker 2: I would do it very intentionally. The running backs eat
- 38:05Speaker 2: and do all the work. It hurts. It hurts. all
- 38:08Speaker 2: of the other stuff of Jamison Williams, Tesla, Born, Harrison, Wilson, whatever.
- 38:14Speaker 2: And there'll be more on Wilson. later on, but just
- 38:16Speaker 2: to note it, I think that's another topic. This is
- 38:19Speaker 2: another one since we're spending so much time on the,
- 38:20Speaker 2: this game and the chalk build. Anyway, we still have
- 38:22Speaker 2: to have the Gibbs conversation separately, I believe. But, um,
- 38:25Speaker 2: Sean says might be one of those, those for 20
- 38:28Speaker 2: max where I only play stacks from this game and
- 38:30Speaker 2: just go all in super interesting week we have on
- 38:33Speaker 2: our hands. I'm curious your take on this. I know
- 38:35Speaker 2: you're not always playing 20 max or rarely ever actually,
- 38:39Speaker 2: but just out of curiosity, your thoughts on this.
- 38:42Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm going to take this in a slightly different direction.
- 38:43Speaker 3: For one thing, I think that's totally viable. I think
- 38:46Speaker 3: this is a really important point in terms of like,
- 38:49Speaker 3: if you are someone this week, for example, who has
- 38:51Speaker 3: a ticket into the mega and you only have one lineup,
- 38:55Speaker 3: I have like, I have a giant strategy posted in
- 38:58Speaker 3: my discord on this exact concept, but we, you need
- 39:02Speaker 3: to recognize that if you have one lineup or two lineups,
- 39:05Speaker 3: you're facing a number of people who are taking Sean's
- 39:08Speaker 3: approach here. And, if you're in a 20 max and
- 39:12Speaker 3: you only have one lineup, you're facing other people who
- 39:14Speaker 3: are doing this. If you are in the mega, you're
- 39:17Speaker 3: facing a bunch of sharks who are doing this exact
- 39:19Speaker 3: sort of thing. The takeaway then is if you only
- 39:24Speaker 3: have one lineup, what are your chances of finding the
- 39:28Speaker 3: exactly correct combination of Cardinals and lions and doing a
- 39:35Speaker 3: better job of that than the people who have 20
- 39:37Speaker 3: chances of getting it right or 50 chances of getting
- 39:39Speaker 3: it right. They're going to be people with 150 different Arizona,
- 39:43Speaker 3: Detroit sex this week where they're trying to number one,
- 39:46Speaker 3: get the right combination of Arizona and Detroit guys.
- 39:48Speaker 1: And the right combination of, you know, those cheap one-offs
- 39:51Speaker 1: around that, uh, that make it work.
- 39:53Speaker 3: So if you were in that sort of situation, whether
- 39:56Speaker 3: it's a contest that you usually play, like maybe you just,
- 39:59Speaker 3: or every week you throw one lineup into the Millie
- 40:02Speaker 3: or you throw one lineup into, you know, uh, a
- 40:06Speaker 3: hundred dollar multi-entry, like whatever contest we're talking about, you know, the,
- 40:10Speaker 3: the three, three, three wildcat, whatever it is. Uh, if
- 40:13Speaker 3: you were in that situation, uh, I think you can't
- 40:16Speaker 3: do this. You can't play this game because your chances
- 40:19Speaker 3: of getting it right when other people have 150 chances
- 40:22Speaker 3: of getting it right are just way too low. You've
- 40:24Speaker 3: got to find a totally different way to play this
- 40:26Speaker 3: slate than the main way people are playing.
- 40:29Speaker 2: And I'm going to stack on that. So I brought
- 40:30Speaker 2: it up. We are aligned, just doing it differently here.
- 40:33Speaker 2: I would do the opposite of what Sean says here,
- 40:34Speaker 2: if it was me, because here's the math. If you
- 40:36Speaker 2: have one lineup in the mega out of 700, you
- 40:39Speaker 2: have like a 0.001% chance, right? Like just math on paper,
- 40:43Speaker 2: just out of the gates. If you have 20 lineups,
- 40:45Speaker 2: but then you got to do this now, it's like
- 40:46Speaker 2: 30 or 80,000 people. It's actually worse. It's like you
- 40:49Speaker 2: have one lineup in that tournament, even though you have
- 40:51Speaker 2: 20 and everyone else only has 20. I know it's
- 40:53Speaker 2: a bit different, but I'm just noting it. I'd be
- 40:55Speaker 2: way more likely to go against it than not. You look,
- 40:58Speaker 2: you can take your way this way. It's very viable
- 41:00Speaker 2: to make a bunch of money or cash or whatever,
- 41:03Speaker 2: like not make a bunch, but you know what I mean?
- 41:05Speaker 2: Like they all hit because the game does go off,
- 41:07Speaker 2: but then you got to hope one of them is
- 41:08Speaker 2: like the, the special version that gets there against the 20,000
- 41:13Speaker 2: other versions or, or 10,000 other versions, depending on the math,
- 41:16Speaker 2: it's going to be tricky. So I think you're trying
- 41:18Speaker 2: to thread a very fine needle. And I think there's
- 41:21Speaker 2: also more things that we'll get into in a second
- 41:24Speaker 2: when we talk about leveraging it on how to play differently,
- 41:26Speaker 2: but go ahead. It sounds like you got to. Yeah.
- 41:27Speaker 3: I mean, so I think like what you're getting at
- 41:29Speaker 3: there is when you have 20, when you're, when you
- 41:31Speaker 3: have 20 entries in a 20 max, like you want
- 41:33Speaker 3: enough diversification where you're not just making one bet throughout
- 41:37Speaker 3: all of your 20 lineups. But I, I think where
- 41:40Speaker 3: I'd push back is I think you can make plenty
- 41:42Speaker 3: of of different bets within these game sacks, right? Where
- 41:45Speaker 3: like summer are going to be preset oriented. Some are
- 41:47Speaker 3: going to be a golf oriented. You can take multiple
- 41:50Speaker 3: chances on like the really cheap guys. So like maybe
- 41:53Speaker 3: in three of your 20, you have to slot in
- 41:55Speaker 3: two of your 20, you have Kendrick Bourne, you have,
- 41:57Speaker 3: you know, Marvin Harrison jr. In five of the year 20,
- 42:00Speaker 3: you know, Jameson Williams in 10 of your 20, so
- 42:02Speaker 3: on and so forth, where like you are mixing it
- 42:04Speaker 3: up and then you can also mix up who you
- 42:07Speaker 3: have around that stack plenty. So I think you can
- 42:09Speaker 3: differentiate well in a portfolio. but like in order to
- 42:14Speaker 3: do this strategy and to do it well, I think
- 42:16Speaker 3: you need to be maxing whatever tournament you're doing it in.
- 42:18Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're doing it, go all in. I'm just saying,
- 42:20Speaker 2: I still think it's bad because at the end of
- 42:22Speaker 2: the day, it's like, well, you can do what you
- 42:23Speaker 2: just said. I think people are confusing 20 versus 80,000
- 42:29Speaker 2: and not thinking about it, like how they would think
- 42:31Speaker 2: about if they had, again, people don't even do this
- 42:32Speaker 2: well to your point of your strategy post, nailing it.
- 42:35Speaker 2: It's like, if you have one lineup and that's where
- 42:38Speaker 2: we talk about single entry usually, but this is talking
- 42:40Speaker 2: about one lineup out of people have max entries in
- 42:44Speaker 2: a tournament. Now in 20 max, I know you have
- 42:46Speaker 2: the equal to everyone else. So you're saying, but I
- 42:49Speaker 2: got 20, but so does everyone else. But then almost
- 42:51Speaker 2: everybody playing like a lot, not almost everybody, but a
- 42:53Speaker 2: lot of people playing 20 max have 20. So it's like,
- 42:55Speaker 2: they all have one and they're all going up against it.
- 42:57Speaker 2: It's kind of like a single entry. So I don't know,
- 42:59Speaker 2: to each your own, I would play the opposite before
- 43:02Speaker 2: I ever go all in on that game on this slate.
- 43:04Speaker 2: There's 11 games. Another factor I want to bring up quickly,
- 43:08Speaker 2: and this is, you know, This contradicts what I said earlier,
- 43:11Speaker 2: but I just want to bring it up because if
- 43:12Speaker 2: everyone else is bringing up the last seven games and
- 43:15Speaker 2: the last three games and all this shit, I'm bringing
- 43:18Speaker 2: it up. I don't care. We can go back and
- 43:20Speaker 2: see the Detroit Lions in a massive shootout this season, right?
- 43:26Speaker 2: We can go back here and look at when the
- 43:29Speaker 2: Lions played the Bills. Different game, different things, different everything.
- 43:32Speaker 2: I'm just showing you something because... If this game played out,
- 43:36Speaker 2: you know, look at the score, 41 to 31. You
- 43:38Speaker 2: must think that everyone had a huge game, right? Everyone
- 43:40Speaker 2: crushed here, I assume. Well, Goff, pretty good. 327 yards,
- 43:45Speaker 2: four touchdowns. That'll play. Okay. Gibbs, 16 carries, 52 yards,
- 43:52Speaker 2: zero touchdowns. But he did have six catches for 61
- 43:56Speaker 2: and a touchdown. It worked out, I believe, Alex, to
- 43:59Speaker 2: like 23 fantasy points. Not going to do too well,
- 44:03Speaker 2: most likely, at $ 9, 800 at 23 fantasy points. We'll leave
- 44:07Speaker 2: Amon Ra. Obviously, he broke the slate. What would have
- 44:09Speaker 2: broke the slate? I believe this was also... Might've been
- 44:11Speaker 2: a Thursday night game, but just notice.
- 44:13Speaker 1: This was an Island game.
- 44:14Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 44:14Speaker 2: Island game. nine for 142 and two. And this isn't
- 44:17Speaker 2: an Amin Ra piece to say like, see, just play
- 44:20Speaker 2: Amin Ra. It's to explain and show that even when
- 44:22Speaker 2: these games go off, think about if this was on
- 44:23Speaker 2: a main slate right now. Amin Ra would be on
- 44:26Speaker 2: the lineups. You'd see him. I don't think you would
- 44:29Speaker 2: see a $ 9, 800 Gibbs. You might see at a onesie
- 44:33Speaker 2: a Laporta because he had six for 52 and one,
- 44:35Speaker 2: but maybe not. Nothing for Jamo, nothing for Tesla, nothing
- 44:39Speaker 2: for anybody else. So you could have seen that. And
- 44:42Speaker 2: then you go to the bill side and look at it.
- 44:44Speaker 2: 7 for 95 and 1, right? It could be like
- 44:51Speaker 2: Laporta and McBride this week. Like maybe, you know, this
- 44:54Speaker 2: would show that you could play like Goff, Aminra, Laporta,
- 44:58Speaker 2: and McBride. Because this game wouldn't have been a lot
- 45:03Speaker 2: too much from everybody else, but it's just like Josh Allen.
- 45:06Speaker 2: And then people would have stacked him with who? Would
- 45:08Speaker 2: they have really stacked him with just Kincaid or James
- 45:11Speaker 2: Cook and Kincaid with an Amin Ra run back? It'll
- 45:14Speaker 2: just be so rare. It's all this could happen. You
- 45:17Speaker 2: could extrapolate all this over into this exact same game.
- 45:20Speaker 2: but there's 10 more games on the slate and it
- 45:23Speaker 2: just goes to show it's the things that did fail.
- 45:26Speaker 2: I think it was Sam again in his article or
- 45:28Speaker 2: an ETR that said it was the week of the
- 45:30Speaker 2: live final. It's actually the week of the penthouse process
- 45:32Speaker 2: that I trademarked where it was the week, what he's
- 45:35Speaker 2: talking about in that article is, is it was the
- 45:38Speaker 2: week Brenton Strange was popular and Brian Thomas Jr. was popular,
- 45:41Speaker 2: but you actually needed the flip side with Aaron Rodgers, Wilson,
- 45:46Speaker 2: Devontae Adams at the time, Brian Thomas Jr., and Strange.
- 45:50Speaker 2: You had those five, and it wasn't even the big
- 45:52Speaker 2: game on the slate. There was another... massive game and
- 45:55Speaker 2: he's like i had pieces of it but i didn't
- 45:56Speaker 2: have this guy and i had the guy with the
- 45:58Speaker 2: zero when there was 50 points scored and all that
- 46:00Speaker 2: of course right well that's the tricky part about this
- 46:03Speaker 2: type of thing and there's going to be other places
- 46:05Speaker 2: on the slate you can go i don't have any
- 46:06Speaker 2: other thoughts to this stuff it's not to to prove
- 46:09Speaker 2: like this game equals this game because my whole point
- 46:12Speaker 2: is you don't but it's more to show the concept
- 46:15Speaker 2: of even when you have 70 plus points are you
- 46:18Speaker 2: really threading the needle to that exact version? Or would
- 46:21Speaker 2: that even be one of your 20? I don't know.
- 46:23Speaker 2: Would you have a Goff, Amon Ra, Laporta with Kincaid?
- 46:28Speaker 2: Kind of would be like the most common. Maybe the
- 46:30Speaker 2: James Cook one and you get away with it because
- 46:32Speaker 2: he was all right. But I don't think a lot
- 46:33Speaker 2: of people would have had the right version of this
- 46:36Speaker 2: on that Sunday in a smaller field, single entry type tournament.
- 46:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there are a couple of things here.
- 46:41Speaker 3: First is like, I was also doing a little bit
- 46:44Speaker 3: of study of this game because I have a mega
- 46:46Speaker 3: ticket to the bills.
- 46:48Speaker 1: Rams game on a Monday night. So, uh, nice. Yeah.
- 46:52Speaker 3: We were already kind of looking at that, but, um,
- 46:56Speaker 3: as far as the main slate is concerned, I think
- 46:58Speaker 3: the biggest thing to take away from this is like,
- 47:00Speaker 3: I don't like this comparison to the Cardinals game because
- 47:04Speaker 3: the game script would be shocking if it played out
- 47:07Speaker 3: the same way this bills game did, which was the
- 47:09Speaker 3: bills went way up early and then Detroit had to
- 47:11Speaker 3: play catch up.
- 47:12Speaker 1: Just to get as close as they did.
- 47:14Speaker 2: That's why I removed that though. I'll push back. Cause
- 47:16Speaker 2: that's why I said that I'm not comparing this at
- 47:17Speaker 2: all to this game. I'm comparing that people like, again,
- 47:21Speaker 2: it's not the same game. I'm just noting, but Tesla
- 47:24Speaker 2: is going to be pushed into these game stacks that
- 47:25Speaker 2: people look at. Oh, there he is. But young Tesla,
- 47:28Speaker 2: but just, you know, people are going to say JMO
- 47:30Speaker 2: instead of this. People are going to say, um, born
- 47:33Speaker 2: instead of Palmer or Shakir or whatever, and try and
- 47:36Speaker 2: make these things work. All I'm saying is it's hard
- 47:38Speaker 2: to thread the needle. Even when, you know, there's going
- 47:40Speaker 2: to look at the Chicago game. This it's concept, not example,
- 47:43Speaker 2: totally different game. No prep, no thought at all. if
- 47:46Speaker 2: Chicago remember the week, everyone's like, why the hell did
- 47:49Speaker 2: I play Loveland? Well, let me tell you this. If
- 47:51Speaker 2: I told you there was going to be 50 plus
- 47:52Speaker 2: points from just Chicago before the game started, would you
- 47:56Speaker 2: have wanted to play Loveland? Yes. Okay. So you can
- 47:59Speaker 2: end it there. So you look, you want to be
- 48:01Speaker 2: in the spot and I get it, but I'm just
- 48:03Speaker 2: saying how the spot can still fool you or get
- 48:05Speaker 2: you because you just, cause you know, there's going to
- 48:08Speaker 2: be points there. That's what your point I'm going back
- 48:10Speaker 2: to it, but that's kind of what you're saying when
- 48:12Speaker 2: you're looking at like one mega entry or something like that,
- 48:15Speaker 2: where it's like, yeah, you're going to be in the
- 48:17Speaker 2: right spot probably. And it could really go off, but
- 48:19Speaker 2: are you going to have that version? And then are
- 48:21Speaker 2: you going to have the version that also differentiates and
- 48:24Speaker 2: that nails it and differentiates enough that others don't have
- 48:28Speaker 2: the same thing? Or can you really separate yourself talking
- 48:31Speaker 2: about how to leverage the shock build by getting completely unique,
- 48:35Speaker 2: but not in a stupid way in a, in a
- 48:37Speaker 2: smart way. And we'll talk about more of that in
- 48:38Speaker 2: a second. I'll let you keep going on. I just
- 48:40Speaker 2: wanted to point that out that I, it's not about
- 48:42Speaker 2: comparing the game flows or how they played out or whatever.
- 48:44Speaker 2: It's just showing that in a 70 point plus total,
- 48:48Speaker 2: that doesn't mean you're, you got it all right and
- 48:50Speaker 2: got away with it. That's the tricky part.
- 48:53Speaker 3: I'll bring up one other point about, about that, uh,
- 48:56Speaker 3: that Island game that we saw with, with Buffalo and Detroit,
- 48:58Speaker 3: which is, that was a game that DJ Moore left
- 49:01Speaker 3: early with an injury.
- 49:02Speaker 1: And, and I, I only bring that up to say like,
- 49:05Speaker 1: if you're struggling.
- 49:06Speaker 3: To find the, you know, the, The inspiration in your
- 49:11Speaker 3: mind of how you can fade this game because you
- 49:13Speaker 3: just think it's it's overwhelmingly likely to succeed.
- 49:16Speaker 1: Remember that, you know, NFL is weird. NFL is random
- 49:19Speaker 1: and injuries happen.
- 49:20Speaker 3: And maybe, you know, what if in like the second quarter,
- 49:24Speaker 3: like McBride has already left the game injured and Jameer
- 49:26Speaker 3: Gibbs has already left the game injured, like weird, weird
- 49:29Speaker 3: stuff happens in the NFL. And so if, if you're
- 49:31Speaker 3: looking for just inspiration to fade this game, just remember
- 49:36Speaker 3: how crazy stuff is and, and how, you know, random,
- 49:39Speaker 3: a lot of these runouts are. And as you said,
- 49:41Speaker 3: I think your, your point about Loveland is really good too,
- 49:44Speaker 3: because it also brings up the idea of like, okay,
- 49:46Speaker 3: well then we should ask why did Loveland fail? How
- 49:50Speaker 3: did Loveland fail in a game where they scored 50 plus? Oh,
- 49:53Speaker 3: they ran for like 400 yards combined.
- 49:56Speaker 2: Right.
- 49:56Speaker 3: And so we can tell different stories. If you are
- 49:59Speaker 3: fading this game, like it's unlike the Jacksonville Cincinnati game
- 50:02Speaker 3: last week, as I said, where I was comfortable not
- 50:05Speaker 3: having any piece of that game. I think this week
- 50:07Speaker 3: is like If you're fading it, all right, well, maybe
- 50:09Speaker 3: I'll use Jeremiah Love and hope that he does everything
- 50:13Speaker 3: for their offense. Or I'll go Gibbs and Detroit and say, again,
- 50:18Speaker 3: what if Detroit wins this game 27-10? And it goes
- 50:23Speaker 3: way under the total because the Detroit defense is a
- 50:26Speaker 3: lot better than people expect this week. They've been atrocious
- 50:29Speaker 3: on the back end, but at least they're getting pressure.
- 50:33Speaker 3: They're a top 10 defense so far in sack rate.
- 50:37Speaker 3: QB hit rate, pressure rate, all this stuff. It's not
- 50:40Speaker 3: like Brissette handles pressure all that well. So maybe that's
- 50:43Speaker 3: how it's done. And the other thing there is like
- 50:46Speaker 3: Detroit's biggest weakness, as I mentioned earlier, they've allowed them
- 50:49Speaker 3: the highest explosive pass rate in the league so far. Well,
- 50:51Speaker 3: Arizona doesn't like to throw the ball down the field.
- 50:53Speaker 3: They like to do everything underneath. And part of that
- 50:55Speaker 3: is because Brissette doesn't have a ton of time back
- 50:58Speaker 3: there to get the ball downfield. And so maybe it
- 51:01Speaker 3: fails that way. There are routes, I think, for this
- 51:03Speaker 3: game to fail. I definitely think that I personally am
- 51:07Speaker 3: leaning towards fading this game and just trying to find
- 51:09Speaker 3: the right way to fade it.
- 51:10Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get to leverage lane after and we've got
- 51:13Speaker 2: some thoughts there for sure. But I want to note,
- 51:15Speaker 2: final topic on this, definitely have to have the Gibbs
- 51:18Speaker 2: conversation as a whole because I think it still is
- 51:21Speaker 2: going to be, I think Gibbs can be popular no
- 51:22Speaker 2: matter what, right? Like it's just, even if people don't
- 51:24Speaker 2: get to this game, they still can easily, think about
- 51:26Speaker 2: every stack that's cheaper easily fits Gibbs and he's just
- 51:29Speaker 2: popping off the page. So you had like a little
- 51:31Speaker 2: flow chart a couple of weeks ago that we talked
- 51:33Speaker 2: about where it was like, You know, is Gibbs on
- 51:35Speaker 2: the slate?
- 51:35Speaker 3: Yes.
- 51:36Speaker 2: Play him. No. You know, play two wide receiver studs.
- 51:39Speaker 2: And you had the conditional ownership over at Blick Analytics
- 51:42Speaker 2: to show that off. And it was all super valuable stuff.
- 51:44Speaker 2: It's going to be just as valuable as this week
- 51:46Speaker 2: as usual, maybe even more. But what is the Gibbs
- 51:49Speaker 2: conversation for people out there? Just you're the best at
- 51:52Speaker 2: breaking this stuff down. So I think give us the
- 51:54Speaker 2: Gibbs breakdown here. from all angles. And then I'm chomping
- 51:58Speaker 2: at the bit from the game theory side about leveraging it.
- 52:00Speaker 2: Like when you had that Washington conversation earlier, I can't
- 52:03Speaker 2: wait to get there. So we'll talk about that in
- 52:04Speaker 2: a little bit.
- 52:05Speaker 3: Yeah, that flow chart was basically in week three, I
- 52:11Speaker 3: think it was. It was like we, that was the
- 52:13Speaker 3: first week we had the conditional ownership tool. And we
- 52:15Speaker 3: saw the week prior that there's really, really low combinatorial
- 52:21Speaker 3: ownership of stud wide receivers together because everyone wants at
- 52:24Speaker 3: least one stud running back. And so, you know, I,
- 52:28Speaker 3: I played the, I played, I think that week I
- 52:30Speaker 3: played St. Brown and CD lamb together and then Gibbs
- 52:33Speaker 3: went off and I was like, you know what? Maybe,
- 52:35Speaker 3: maybe it's not the best idea to do the double
- 52:37Speaker 3: stud wide receiver idea on Gibbs slates because he's just
- 52:42Speaker 3: so damn likely to succeed that like, even if both
- 52:45Speaker 3: of my receivers hit, I'm not getting the separation from
- 52:47Speaker 3: the field because I'm competing with, with lineups that have
- 52:50Speaker 3: Gibbs and one of those studs. I'm not, I'm not
- 52:52Speaker 3: gaining as much as I otherwise could. from that combination
- 52:55Speaker 3: going off, uh, the way, you know, it did last week,
- 52:59Speaker 3: no Gibbs on the main slate.
- 53:00Speaker 1: And then what did we see?
- 53:01Speaker 3: We saw like Nico Collins and CD lamb get there
- 53:03Speaker 3: in a huge way. Uh, so, uh, it came to
- 53:06Speaker 3: fruition last week as well. Um, and so Gibbs is
- 53:09Speaker 3: on this slate. Maybe we don't go to the double
- 53:11Speaker 3: stub wide receivers, but I will say like, at least
- 53:13Speaker 3: this time Gibbs is $ 9, 800. So he's in his own, uh,
- 53:17Speaker 3: price point tier. And I'm looking at conditional ownership now
- 53:20Speaker 3: is like one of the ways that Gibbs doesn't have
- 53:22Speaker 3: the ceiling performance as we saw in that Buffalo game
- 53:25Speaker 3: is okay.
- 53:25Speaker 1: What if St.
- 53:26Speaker 3: Brown has the ceiling performance instead? And sure enough in,
- 53:30Speaker 3: in St. Brown lineups, JSN projected for 3.9% conditional ownership
- 53:36Speaker 3: compared to, uh, 27 and a half percent conditional ownership
- 53:40Speaker 3: for Jameer Gibbs with St. Brown in that's interesting, right?
- 53:45Speaker 1: Like St.
- 53:45Speaker 3: Brown and JSN, no Gibbs. I think that's a, that's
- 53:48Speaker 3: a potential leverage lane candidate. I don't have my leverage
- 53:51Speaker 3: lane figured out yet. So That is, that's definitely a possibility.
- 53:54Speaker 2: That was with JSN and Amon Ra. I was going
- 53:57Speaker 2: to ask, funny, because I was about to ask you
- 53:58Speaker 2: that at the end of what you said, but didn't
- 54:00Speaker 2: we look at it pre-show and Gibbs and JSN was
- 54:03Speaker 2: almost 6%, just those two?
- 54:06Speaker 1: Let's see.
- 54:07Speaker 2: So it's like half the ownership to go to the
- 54:08Speaker 2: double stud version at wide receiver and leave Gibbs.
- 54:11Speaker 1: Out of it, I think.
- 54:12Speaker 3: So Gibbs, JSN, whoops, with Gibbs in, JSN is 5.3%
- 54:18Speaker 3: conditional ownership.
- 54:19Speaker 1: So that's really interesting, right?
- 54:21Speaker 3: It's like, One of the reasons why these combinations are
- 54:24Speaker 3: as low-owned as they are is because you run into
- 54:26Speaker 3: price prohibitiveness, I guess is the best way to say that, right?
- 54:32Speaker 1: And so it's interesting that at $ 1, 900 more, the conditional
- 54:38Speaker 1: ownership for JSN is higher with Gibbs than it is
- 54:42Speaker 1: with Amon Ross St.
- 54:43Speaker 2: Brown.
- 54:43Speaker 1: That, to me, is really, really interesting. That's very telling.
- 54:47Speaker 3: And yeah, that's definitely a potential leverage lane.
- 54:51Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think one of the things that I
- 54:53Speaker 2: would say too is, again, like now we'll get into
- 54:54Speaker 2: it a little bit of the accounting for certain things.
- 54:56Speaker 2: I've got a couple that pop right off the top.
- 54:58Speaker 2: It's like if you're going, you know, Darnold and JSN
- 55:03Speaker 2: as a stack, for example, that can definitely hit. We've
- 55:06Speaker 2: seen it already multiple times this season where it was
- 55:08Speaker 2: right up in the mix or very close. Then what if.
- 55:12Speaker 2: What if Jamar Chase plays? Well, here's an example. First
- 55:16Speaker 2: of all, how many people are going to have JSN
- 55:18Speaker 2: and Jamar Chase? Probably not many. But just an example
- 55:21Speaker 2: as well is like, oh, wait, I have to afford that. Well,
- 55:25Speaker 2: and I probably can't get to Gibbs. You know what
- 55:26Speaker 2: I would do? I would play Sam Darnold. I would
- 55:29Speaker 2: play JSN. I would play Jamar chase and I would
- 55:33Speaker 2: play Jeremiah love because now I'm hoping I'm not, I'm
- 55:36Speaker 2: accounting for Gibbs and that game on the other side,
- 55:38Speaker 2: because what would slow the game down, possibly flip the
- 55:41Speaker 2: game script and keep Gibbs off the field from paying
- 55:44Speaker 2: off a $ 9, 800 price tag. People say, oh, there's no
- 55:47Speaker 2: way that happens.
- 55:47Speaker 1: I don't care.
- 55:48Speaker 2: I'm explaining why I would play it this way because
- 55:51Speaker 2: it's the method to do it. You can't get to
- 55:54Speaker 2: Gibbs in that lineup, but you should be accounting for it.
- 55:57Speaker 2: You can just sit back on your laurels and say,
- 55:59Speaker 2: you know what? He's just not going to pay off
- 56:01Speaker 2: the $ 9, 800 price tag, 20 points. That's fine too. You
- 56:03Speaker 2: don't have to do that. I'm just explaining how I
- 56:05Speaker 2: would think about things. When you talked about it earlier
- 56:08Speaker 2: about Mike Washington, assuming the gentee news comes true. I mean,
- 56:11Speaker 2: like I said, very rare. Somebody practices on Thursday, you know,
- 56:14Speaker 2: limited and then gets DMP on Friday and comes back
- 56:16Speaker 2: and plays. on Sunday. But just noting it, it's like
- 56:20Speaker 2: right away, how do I get away from what a
- 56:23Speaker 2: Mike Washington lineup, which is typically going to be a
- 56:25Speaker 2: kind of quote unquote stars and scrubsy build from what
- 56:28Speaker 2: we saw on the screen right now, where it's like
- 56:29Speaker 2: you got two cheap wide receivers, a cheap guy, but
- 56:32Speaker 2: then you fit the big game stack. All right, what
- 56:34Speaker 2: about a more balanced build? Well, I know what that
- 56:37Speaker 2: would look like because I can double whammy it. I
- 56:39Speaker 2: cannot play Washington. I cannot play McBride. and I can
- 56:43Speaker 2: play Brock Bowers. And is he going to have ownership too? Yeah, some,
- 56:47Speaker 2: but that's also a potential more balanced build because I'm
- 56:49Speaker 2: kind of just sticking it through that way. I'm not
- 56:51Speaker 2: going to have Washington. Now I can pay up to
- 56:53Speaker 2: a different, another prime example though, exactly this. What is,
- 56:58Speaker 2: it might not be that close, but it's just that
- 57:00Speaker 2: you can get there somewhere else in your lineup if not.
- 57:03Speaker 2: But what is the price of Washington and McBride? It
- 57:11Speaker 2: is $ 3. 10,900 and then you go to bowers and
- 57:21Speaker 2: go back to my guy love again and it's more
- 57:24Speaker 2: but on this slate you can find it i'm just
- 57:26Speaker 2: showing the difference of more balanced build but it's like
- 57:28Speaker 2: that's not a 2v2 but it's just to show and
- 57:30Speaker 2: explain again is way more people will have washington with
- 57:34Speaker 2: mcbride And yes, Gibbs can still fit in or not.
- 57:37Speaker 2: I'm just noting that if you did some sort of
- 57:39Speaker 2: flip where you're going to account for, okay, who covers
- 57:42Speaker 2: off Washington, but also can beat McBride. But then how
- 57:46Speaker 2: do you cover it off for McBride? Most people just
- 57:49Speaker 2: put Michael Wilson, right? I'm sure you'll see that. I
- 57:51Speaker 2: don't know. Look this one up at a random thought.
- 57:54Speaker 2: Look up Bowers with Michael Wilson.
- 57:58Speaker 1: You want conditional ownership here?
- 57:59Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just curious. It's a little bit off the ball.
- 58:01Speaker 2: It might not be that good, but I want to
- 58:02Speaker 2: see it still. I like learning the stuff.
- 58:04Speaker 3: Here, let me share my screen just so people can
- 58:08Speaker 3: kind of follow along.
- 58:08Speaker 2: Yeah, do that. I'll remove this, and you can pull
- 58:10Speaker 2: that one up. All right.
- 58:13Speaker 1: Can you see it?
- 58:15Speaker 2: We will now. Just had to move it across.
- 58:17Speaker 3: Perfect. All right. So if I want to bring in,
- 58:21Speaker 3: let's go Michael Wilson. Now we go to tight end,
- 58:25Speaker 3: and we see.
- 58:27Speaker 1: Price-wise. So McBride.
- 58:30Speaker 3: Goes from 42.5% to 60.3% conditional ownership, and Bauer's drops
- 58:37Speaker 3: from 11.8% to 6.6% conditional ownership. So yeah, that's a
- 58:41Speaker 3: very unique pair, and it's leveraging a massively owned McBride
- 58:46Speaker 3: in a way where this shows us how many people
- 58:53Speaker 3: are full on game stacking here. This is a much
- 58:56Speaker 3: higher conditional ownership than usual for an expensive tight end
- 58:59Speaker 3: alongside an expensive receiver teammate where, you know, a lot
- 59:02Speaker 3: of the time people are afraid to put these two
- 59:05Speaker 3: together because they worry, Hey, when Michael Wilson has that
- 59:08Speaker 3: really big game, it means McBride isn't So this is,
- 59:10Speaker 3: this is another like really, really good combination. And I, I,
- 59:16Speaker 3: I definitely won't steal this from you if you don't
- 59:18Speaker 3: use it, or if you want to use it, but
- 59:20Speaker 3: if you end up going first in leverage lane and
- 59:22Speaker 3: you don't use it, this too is a leverage lane
- 59:25Speaker 3: candidate for me.
- 59:26Speaker 2: Oh, actually, spoiler alert, but Michael Wilson will be in
- 59:30Speaker 2: my leverage lane, just maybe not the way you might think.
- 59:32Speaker 2: But just noting it, what I want to see though, again,
- 59:35Speaker 2: this is just a private, I'm actually, I'm very surprised
- 59:38Speaker 2: that it's only, what was it? 6.6, you said, for Wilson? Okay,
- 59:42Speaker 2: I'm very surprised because For you and for myself and
- 59:46Speaker 2: for most that are playing the game, that's just a
- 59:48Speaker 2: natural common thought. If I'm going to cover off McBride
- 59:51Speaker 2: with a guy that can actually cover him, Bowers, then
- 59:54Speaker 2: I'm going to need to figure out where does the
- 59:57Speaker 2: McBride stuff go? So I can double what you're double
- 59:59Speaker 2: separating yourself, right? Like you're moving away, but I wanted
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: to see what love looks like. You can do this
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: one first if you want, but I really want to see,
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: cause I thought the 6.6 would be much higher. I
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: want to see what love in a more balanced build
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: because love is also going away from a $ 4, 200 running
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: back there where you're kind of double flipping it. What is,
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: I want to see Washington and McBride. I don't know
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: if you have the update on Washington yet for ownership though.
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: Do you? Uh, yeah, I do.
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: Um, uh, real, real quick though. I wanted to, to
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: show this as well.
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: So like, I think one of the reasons why you,
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: you were surprised at that is because you're thinking about
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: it in the sense of, okay, I don't have Jacoby
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: percent in this lineup. So then what am I doing?
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: But if we, if we go Michael Wilson in Jacoby
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: percent out of the lineup, now it does come down
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: a little bit, right? McBride goes from 60% conditional ownership
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: to 31%. Bowers goes up from that 6% conditional to
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: almost 9% conditional.
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: So that brings, that closes the gap a little bit.
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: If we also say no Jared Goff in this lineup,
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: now that probably moves it even further. Now we get
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: a same idea, right? Conditional ownership for McBride stays at
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: about 35%. And then Bowers now goes up to his
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: conditional ownership is like right in line with his overall ownership.
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: So I think that's, a really cool way to kind
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: of walk through this. And now we can backtrack and,
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: and please remind me what, what you wanted me to
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: check here.
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: This is, I mean, this is awesome. So we could
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: go for days, but I want, I want to see
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: first off, I'd like to see Washington with McBride.
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: By the way, the other thing we can do here,
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: like if, if you don't want to think about it
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: through the conditional stuff, you can just put them both
- 1:01:42Speaker 3: in and see what the conditional owner or the combinatorial
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: ownership is of the two.
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: So this says 22.8% of the.
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: Field is expected to have both Mike Washington and Trey
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: McBride here in the, in the mega Millie. So let's
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: get rid of him for a moment and just look
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: at what conditional ownership looks like. And so you can see, yeah,
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: so many people who are using Mike Washington are using
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: those savings to go up and get Trey McBride. And
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: then you also have this interesting difference in conditional ownership
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: here because Washington and Bowers are on.
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: The same team.
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: So as soon as someone wants Mike Washington in, that
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: makes them less likely to get Bowers, which makes them
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: even more likely to get McBride. So in addition to
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: just like Mike Washington is a vehicle to get to
- 1:02:24Speaker 3: this game stack, you also have, and people are more
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: likely to then pay for McBride as the pay up
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: tight end because they don't want to double up on
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: Raiders here with Bowers as well.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: Now let's see Love with Bowers.
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: Okay, so let's go here. Let's go Jeremiah Love.
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: And this will finalize it for me because it's going
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: to be two things. It's going to be one, what
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: they are versus what we just looked at, and then
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: also what they are versus the Mike Wilson version.
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: So here now you're seeing, this is like the thing
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: that you're kind of, this is more what you expected
- 1:02:59Speaker 3: to see ahead of time, right? It's like when people
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: go Jeremiah Love, okay, now they're less likely to use McBride.
- 1:03:04Speaker 3: They're more likely to use Bowers. So this is kind
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: of the thought of, this is showing, You know, the
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: train of thought that you were already kind of on
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: top of. The other thing I want to mention here
- 1:03:15Speaker 3: is before I even click Jeremiah Love here, let's just
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: notice right now I've got him projected at 4% ownership.
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: I think this is going up. I think he's going
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: to be like 10%, something like that. Reason being, I
- 1:03:28Speaker 3: haven't seen a show yet this week fail to bring
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: up Love as like one of the main ways that
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: you can leverage this game. And I think people are
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: really going to kind of just enjoy that thought because
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: I think it's a sharp one. I just think it's
- 1:03:43Speaker 3: too sharp to not be played more than it's being
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: currently projected.
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: All right. Let's see. Is that true? Just a second. Yeah,
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: I told people this was going to happen. This was
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: in the Discord. Everybody can go get it in Shiba
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: Nation Discord from two days ago. When you see 100
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: posts come out about this Marv Harrison trade and it's
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: nonstop and now we get it.
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: Right now, To an unspecified team? What the hell is that?
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: Yeah, we knew this was going to shake it up
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: just because. And I was about to use it, and
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: that was about to be part of my leverage lane too.
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: But it's just funny because I was just about to
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: tell you to put Marv Harrison into that same version
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: instead of Love, but it's pointless now. So yeah, slate
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: changes on the fly. Can definitely see that I posted
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: about that two, three days ago. I told you it's
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: going to happen. Anytime this type of shit goes on,
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: we're doing this too long, Alex. This is the thing.
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: It's not a victory lap. It's a note of like,
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: this is the setup that you're used to. Like when
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: you've been playing this game a long time, you just
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: know that shit's going to happen. So first reaction to that,
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: we'll go back here and then we'll get into some
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: more stuff in a minute. But first reaction on that,
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: the target tree just got tighter. Yeah.
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: I mean, first question is like, does that make Kendrick
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: Bourne chalk?
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: I think it's going to pick up steam now. Cause
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: think about what you can do in that version. Now
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: you don't have to think about Mike Washington or these guys,
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: if you don't want to write Mike Washington in the road,
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: just because whatever reason you could say now, I.
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: Mean, he's still going to be massively owned.
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: I mean, he's not going to go down. I'm just
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: saying like, or down crazy, but I'm saying, I think
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: let's go back. Let's, let's do this then.
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: Now we'll go back to, I think, I think the
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: biggest thing here is like, I, I already think that
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: I was highest in the industry on, on Michael Wilson's ownership.
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: I've got him at 37% or high stakes in, Ownership
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: right now, 36% single entry, 27% MME.
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: He might get to 50%.
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: In fact, I will be pretty surprised if he doesn't
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: get to 50%. So now I think that also takes
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: percent from... I think I had him at like 27%.
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: He could get to 35%. This could be crazy. I
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: think I'm getting closer and closer to knowing my leverage length.
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: Yeah. It might be stealing mine now because... I mean,
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: people could probably figure out what mine was already, and
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: now his ownership just went up. So let me see here.
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: I'm just trying to see how you can finagle this down.
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: I'm just going to try and use like the chalk
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: of the chalk. 11-3 left. I'm just trying to see
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: like a few other spots.
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: I can't believe it's an unspecified team. What do you
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: mean it's an unspecified team? Who's he being traded to?
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: I don't know. Probably going to be the Colts. 27-7.
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: I'm just like, we're so, so close. I think people
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: were okay with Tennessee, right? Was another one they were playing?
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: If it's the Chiefs, I just saw that Davis Maddock
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: tweeted 50 minutes ago, like a hypothetical that Kansas City
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: was about to trade for Marvin Harrison instead of bringing
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: back Tyreek Hill.
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: Well, hey, that's actually a very high possibility, actually, because
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: the other thing that was tweeted out yesterday, so I
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: forget who posted this one, but was like the Tyreek
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: Hill stuff with his girlfriend or whatever and all the
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: stuff that came out now. It's like he was trying
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: to get signed or do something before that came out.
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to be able to sign
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: him right now. So I actually think that could be
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: the case.
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: They shouldn't. He's a scumbag.
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Marvin Mahomes is going to be the new thing.
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: That's what it's going to be. I think we called it.
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: I think Maddox called it. So shout out to him.
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: I still can't believe this. How has the team not
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: been specified yet?
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: It's just weird that they would put that out and
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: then not say anything. But anyway, this is a lineup
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: I just put on the screen now. Look at this one.
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: Jacoby Wilson born McBride. You get Gibbs and you can
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: get JMO in there and it just rounds itself out
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: with the Swift Washington and Titans is, is the low
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: price D that everybody's been talking about all week, right?
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: If you're going to just punt and play a cheap defense, that's, um,
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: that's kind of where people can land. So that's only
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: going to pick up ownership from here, by the way,
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: that doesn't have any updates in it yet. This was
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: still our initials. Our new one comes out around lunchtime today.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: So just to note it. Yeah. That's a quick thought there. Let's,
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: let's talk about game stacks. let's move to some different
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: places that we can go. I don't know if you
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: have any other pieces. I want to talk about those ones,
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: you know, a couple of certain ones, but is there
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: anything you want to talk about there? If not, people
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: want to talk about the game stacks we can go
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: to and other spots we can stack up here. Yeah.
- 1:08:16Speaker 3: Uh, before we get to other stacks and this is
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: kind of a, a, a segue to it. Uh, I
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: think we should spend a moment talking about the, the
- 1:08:23Speaker 3: cheap wide receiver chalk that people are going to in
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: order to fit some of this stuff. So like Trey Harris,
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: Roman Wilson, Casey Concepcion, uh, Antonio Williams, how do you
- 1:08:34Speaker 3: feel about these plays?
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: Because personally, I think Roman Wilson is really interesting.
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: I think we're going to end up talking more about
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: Pitt Indy when we talk about some other potential stacks.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: But I have mixed feelings about this.
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: I think no Pittman is great for that offense.
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: Just, I don't know if, did you see, have you
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: seen like.
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: What Aaron Rodgers is mouthing towards the sidelines every time
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: he like targets Pittman? Yes.
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: Okay. I believe it was like worst effing play call
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: ever or something like that.
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: No, no. The first was like, this, this guy fucking sucks.
- 1:09:15Speaker 3: He's like, this motherfucker sucks. He's so fucking bad or
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: something like that. two weeks ago, maybe three weeks ago
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: at this point. And then the last time was like, he,
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: you know, he threw like a six yard slant to Pittman.
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: It was behind him.
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: The defender got his hand in, knocked it away. But
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: Rogers was apparently mad at Pittman for not catching it.
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: And he just mouths like this guy, this fucking guy.
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: And like clearly doesn't want Pittman on the field. And
- 1:09:40Speaker 3: it's not his called. Like he's, He's being on the field.
- 1:09:42Speaker 3: Plays are being called for him, and Rodgers wants no
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: part of it. So no Pittman is really interesting. Now
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: he gets to throw to guys he actually wants to
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: throw to.
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: There's another guy, too.
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: Who's the other guy this week that's on that squad?
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: We're definitely going to talk about that stack because I
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: think it's interesting.
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: Jeremy Bernard is interesting, too.
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: This is the point I wanted to make, which is
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: Wilson has been very good.
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: He's been very effective. He's getting open.
- 1:10:07Speaker 3: He's leading the team in DBOA when targeted offensively. like
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: that matters to me a lot with Rogers, right? Cause
- 1:10:14Speaker 3: we know that Rogers finds, finds things that work and
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: just sticks with it. And he loses patience with things
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: that aren't working. And so when he's throwing to guys,
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: it's not working. He's, he just might not keep throwing
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: to them. Uh, so that part is really good for Wilson. Um, the,
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: the matchup is also good for Wilson in the, in
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: the sense that, you know, uh, Indianapolis is at least
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: showing signs of being a slot funnel and given their
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: outside corners, like it would make sense if they are, but,
- 1:10:40Speaker 3: Pittman has been playing more on the outside. Fryermuth has
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: been like the main quote unquote slot guy. Jeremy Bernard
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: has been playing primarily on the outside and Bernard actually
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: ran 20 routes to Wilson's 18 last week. It wouldn't
- 1:10:55Speaker 3: surprise me if like Wilson goes from 18 routes to,
- 1:10:57Speaker 3: you know, 20, 25, something like that. And Bernard goes
- 1:11:01Speaker 3: from 20 to like 35, 37, you know, however many
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: dropbacks Rogers has. So, I have Roman Wilson projected better
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: by a pretty considerable margin, but I also have scenarios
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: mixed into the projections where that's wrong. Wilson shouldn't be
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: projected out ahead of what he's already been doing, and
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: it's Jeremy Bernard who should be getting the main benefit
- 1:11:25Speaker 3: from no Pittman. So I think that's at least an
- 1:11:28Speaker 3: interesting one to talk through.
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm there with you on that one. I'm
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: not really super high on the other spots. That's kind
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: of the one I'm most focused on only because I
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: don't really love the other game stacks or things. And
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: I even think there's still a problem. There's a, there's
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: a hole to poke in that Pittsburgh spot as well
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: as maybe it's an opportunity, which is who do you
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: want to run it back with? I think I know
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: what you'll say, but I'm just curious there.
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's downs, right?
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: I think a lot of people would go to Taylor though.
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: I think that's what a lot of people think is
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: like a way to get different or I can fit
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: because that stack is so cheap. You can now fit
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: Gibbs and Taylor, for example, but downs has been getting
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: loose like crazy. And he's a guy that just fills
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: out your wide receiver positions and then you can pay up.
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: But I think in that lineup, you might still be
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: able to get a really nice wide receiver in your flex.
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: and be able to bust it up that way. So
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: I think that's truly interesting. I'm not actually as high
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: on the other stuff. Someone did say it earlier, which
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: I thought was intriguing, of like the Sean Payton now
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: calling the plays. He's over it because last week should
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: have been a Knicks week and it wasn't really. And
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: it's like, man... but it's still the same stuff. Like
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: it still is Knicks, Waddle, Sutton, Pat Bryant's out. Like
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: you have Harris on the other side that you could
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: go to. There's no Quentin Johnson. We got to wait
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: and see on McConkie. Like that's a way to make
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: that one work. So to me, if I was going
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: the Harris route, it's going to be way more of
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: something like, so it'd be something like that. Or it
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: would be something like a unique build, probably more for
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: afternoon only, to be honest, but like a RJ Harvey
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: Harris or something and just hope that that continues. But
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: it's so hard to get to Harvey on the main slate.
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: And obviously, you'll keep Mitchells on the other side as well.
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, one of the really kind of hard
- 1:13:14Speaker 3: things to think through with Denver there is the problem
- 1:13:17Speaker 3: didn't seem to me to be the play calling. The
- 1:13:19Speaker 3: problem was that Nick's was staring at open receivers down
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: the field and saying, no, I'm throwing this two yards
- 1:13:24Speaker 3: to RJ Harvey instead. And so like, unless, unless Sean
- 1:13:28Speaker 3: Payton is calling plays where he doesn't give Nick's a
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: check down outlet and just says, you're throwing this past
- 1:13:34Speaker 3: 20 yards down the field, or I'm going to punch
- 1:13:36Speaker 3: you in the face. Like, I don't, I don't see
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: how a ton changes there. We also, now one thing
- 1:13:43Speaker 3: I will say there is like, I made this point
- 1:13:46Speaker 3: last week. We have seen Knicks do a lot better,
- 1:13:50Speaker 3: both from a fantasy perspective and a real-life perspective, against
- 1:13:53Speaker 3: bad teams. And in game scripts where you don't really
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: expect fantasy goodness to come from, most quarterbacks, they're best
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: in a trailing situation or in a neutral script, and
- 1:14:03Speaker 3: they get conservative with a lead.
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: Knicks is almost the other way around.
- 1:14:07Speaker 3: It's like he plays nervous, he plays timid in close
- 1:14:10Speaker 3: games or when they're trailing, and when they're winning by
- 1:14:12Speaker 3: a lot, He's really confident and he's willing to throw downfield.
- 1:14:15Speaker 3: And so maybe it works out that way. Uh, and
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: I do, I definitely have some interest in this Denver
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: LA game. That game is an afternoon game, right?
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: It's the early afternoon. So there's three games in the afternoon.
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: That's the chalk game. It's the game everyone will pivot
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: to in Seattle and San Francisco because of JSN and
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: CMC and Kittle and all the options on that squad.
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: Mike Evans is back full go. So however that could
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: work out, he could be no go after the first
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: quarter again, the way his injuries shake out. But just
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: noting it, I don't think anybody would flip or switch
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: to the... other side and play the game that starts
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: a little bit earlier but the thing is if you're
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: dead from the morning you're probably dead already like you
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: should be looking at those swaps i do think there's
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: some interest to that lac denver spot just of like
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: trying to make it work the problem is is like
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: how how does it actually fit versus the pricing and
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: all that other stuff so yeah i.
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: Think well with denver you you can do that in
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: a cheaper way and then you can flip um uh,
- 1:15:16Speaker 3: Cardinals beat reporter said it's not, you know, as, as
- 1:15:21Speaker 3: you and I are live, like we're getting all our
- 1:15:22Speaker 3: news right now from the comment section.
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: So keep it up guys. It's really helpful.
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: Undisclosed team. And now they're telling us who it's not.
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: Why don't you just tell us who it is? Like
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: what's going on here? Well, who gives a shit? It's
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: Marv Harrison. Like, just tell us what team he's going to.
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: They're acting like it's the biggest trade of all time
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: in the history of the NFL. Like this is nuts. Yeah.
- 1:15:40Speaker 3: Uh, we, we have, we have some in the chat
- 1:15:42Speaker 3: also pointing out like no sir Tanner Moss, by the way,
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: like we, we have so many, uh, offensive injuries that,
- 1:15:48Speaker 3: that we're paying attention to this week, but, but yeah,
- 1:15:50Speaker 3: like Denver secondary is decimated and also, uh, the new
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: England secondary is decimated. So some interesting stuff with Las Vegas,
- 1:15:57Speaker 3: which I'll talk about momentarily as well, but, but man, I,
- 1:16:01Speaker 3: I don't like our chances of getting out of here
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: in an hour and a half by the way.
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: No, but you know what happens? We keep an eye
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: on it. Like if it's going to be boring or stuff,
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: I always said this, it's funny because all we talk
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: about is DFS, but if you talk about like the
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: marketing hat for a minute or like the content creator hat,
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: founder hat, whatever you want to call it, that I
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: try and sometimes put on for people is like, People
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: always say it's like shorter is better. I say less
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: is more about a lot of things. I do. And
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: I agree with it, to be honest, across almost everything.
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: But if you're putting out good content and people are
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: sticking around for it and they want it... I think
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: Joe Rogan, not vouching for the guy, but I'm explaining it,
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: of like three hours in a podcast. People, when he
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: first came out, said like, that's going to be horrible. Like,
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: who's going to listen for three hours? I don't care
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: what you think about the guy. I'm not vouching or
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: going again. I'm just saying it's clearly worked. The guy's
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: made hundreds of millions of dollars now, whatever, off of
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: a three-hour podcast.
- 1:16:48Speaker 3: So.
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: If people want to leave, they can leave. They want
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: to stick around. We got more coming. But I think
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: it's been good conversation the whole way. And like I said,
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: I think it's one of the most important weeks, at
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: least this season, if not episodes of this that you
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: and I have ever done, because it is a big
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: puzzle to figure this out this week. So where do
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: you want to go next then on these? You want
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: to move to the game stacks a little bit? You
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: said the Las Vegas going against this decimated secondary for
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: the Patriots. Where did you want to go with that one? Well, yeah.
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: So I want.
- 1:17:15Speaker 3: I wanted to kind of remind people, like one of
- 1:17:17Speaker 3: the things I said off the bat is when we're
- 1:17:19Speaker 3: fading these like really obvious spots, both the Detroit Arizona
- 1:17:22Speaker 3: game and the, and Mike Washington is like, I don't
- 1:17:26Speaker 3: think we should just be pivoting off of them. I
- 1:17:28Speaker 3: think we need to be telling the story of how
- 1:17:30Speaker 3: they fail. So what if new England jumps out to
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: a big lead? Vegas has to throw all game. And
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: like Washington ends up with 12 carries a few receptions
- 1:17:39Speaker 3: and no touchdowns. And one of the ways that happens
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: is if they're throwing all game and it's, it's all
- 1:17:43Speaker 3: Brock Bowers and Trey Tucker and, instead against this decimated
- 1:17:48Speaker 3: New England secondary. And so that's something I'm going to
- 1:17:50Speaker 3: explore is Kirk Cousins doubles that leave Washington out. I'm
- 1:17:54Speaker 3: not totally sure who I'd bring back with New England.
- 1:17:58Speaker 3: Maybe Pop Douglas is another cheap option. No Mac Collins
- 1:18:02Speaker 3: this week, so Pop should get more routes. Maybe you
- 1:18:05Speaker 3: go Dobbs as a result. So like I said, multiple
- 1:18:09Speaker 3: options there, but yeah, that's an intriguing route to me.
- 1:18:12Speaker 3: I also think we should bring up Denver. Just going
- 1:18:18Speaker 3: right back to that. Like one of the other thoughts
- 1:18:20Speaker 3: there is okay.
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: No pet. Brian is really important to me. A lot
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: of the, a lot of the routes that.
- 1:18:29Speaker 3: Nick's was turning down that were wide open were deep digs,
- 1:18:33Speaker 3: basically like the same route over and over the same
- 1:18:36Speaker 3: combination of receivers where it was waddle running a clear
- 1:18:39Speaker 3: out route and Pat Bryant running a deep dig kind
- 1:18:42Speaker 3: of coming into the middle. Bryant could have had five
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: receptions for 100 yards on that route alone last week,
- 1:18:49Speaker 3: and Nick's just kept turning it down. What if that's
- 1:18:51Speaker 3: Sutton this week? And what if he actually throws it
- 1:18:53Speaker 3: this week? Because I'm sure that Sean Payton grilled him
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: in the film room this week, saying, we need you
- 1:19:00Speaker 3: hitting this route.
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: It's called well. It's timed well. We got the right coverage.
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: It's wide open. Waddle's doing his job with the clear out.
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: You need to hit this.
- 1:19:10Speaker 3: And now this week, that might be Sutton running that
- 1:19:12Speaker 3: route with Waddle as the clear out. So I'm definitely
- 1:19:15Speaker 3: intrigued by Nick's doubles. I also like that because if
- 1:19:19Speaker 3: we didn't get Mike Washington, one of my favorite plays
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: of the week was potentially going to be Keaton Mitchell,
- 1:19:24Speaker 3: whose role keeps growing. And I think that McDaniel has
- 1:19:28Speaker 3: no choice but to keep him heavily involved when they
- 1:19:31Speaker 3: don't have Ladd McConkie. Probably they don't have Quentin Johnston
- 1:19:33Speaker 3: like they need playmaking somewhere. Uh, he had, he had
- 1:19:37Speaker 3: three design targets last week. I think they're going to
- 1:19:39Speaker 3: continue to do that. He's getting more and more on
- 1:19:41Speaker 3: the ground. And the thing about him as a bring
- 1:19:43Speaker 3: back is, you know, when he hits, he's probably hitting
- 1:19:47Speaker 3: because he gets at least one like explosive run or
- 1:19:50Speaker 3: explosive reception. And so, uh, they're like, I wouldn't be
- 1:19:54Speaker 3: using Keaton as a pivot off of Mike Washington, but
- 1:19:59Speaker 3: Keaton and Mike Washington. And now you have all the
- 1:20:01Speaker 3: money in the world to spend at tight end and
- 1:20:03Speaker 3: wide receiver. That's an interesting way to flip the build.
- 1:20:06Speaker 3: So yeah, kind of a lot of thoughts there.
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: One right away, because this just ties in a little
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: bit more late swap stuff for the people as well. $ 11, 700
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: for Bo Nix and Jalen Waddell. I know you talked Sutton.
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: We could summon in the chat that Mims could be,
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: by the way, a great leverage lane on Mims last year.
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: So maybe that could be the case with no Pat Bryant.
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: But just noting it, again, don't think people will do this,
- 1:20:28Speaker 2: even though it fits exact. Do you know who's 6,200
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: and 5,500?
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: Is that percent Wilson?
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah. Exact. What exact two V two swap right there.
- 1:20:40Speaker 2: And I know that people will catch on or figure
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: it out. Like it's just, it's, I didn't hear anybody
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: point that out this week yet at all. And it's like,
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: that's the type of stuff that we look at where
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: when people move things around in the afternoon, I don't
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: think that would be their first thought, right? They're not prepared.
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: They're not thinking ahead about looking at this type of stuff.
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: They're just acting on the think ahead the better.
- 1:20:57Speaker 3: Yeah. That's the other thing I like about this, this, uh,
- 1:21:00Speaker 3: this Denver idea is you can get contrarian early, uh,
- 1:21:03Speaker 3: you can have a lineup where like you're contrarian in
- 1:21:06Speaker 3: a spot or two early. And if it doesn't go
- 1:21:11Speaker 3: perfectly well, where like, you know, okay, I'm still, I'm
- 1:21:14Speaker 3: behind some combinations that have full access to the Detroit,
- 1:21:18Speaker 3: Arizona stack. You can pivot to Denver where, you know,
- 1:21:21Speaker 3: you mentioned like, if you're dead, you're dead anyway.
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter if you pivot.
- 1:21:27Speaker 3: The way that I like to use light swap is
- 1:21:29Speaker 3: more like if I'm in good shape, but not great shape,
- 1:21:32Speaker 3: that's when I want to pivot. I had a subscriber
- 1:21:34Speaker 3: this past week who won 50K, made the brilliant pivot
- 1:21:37Speaker 3: and a really, really gutsy pivot of Bowers and Taequann
- 1:21:41Speaker 3: Thornton instead of Kittle and Jordan Addison last week. He
- 1:21:45Speaker 3: was in good shape after the early games he had.
- 1:21:48Speaker 3: He had CeeDee Lamb, he had Nico Collins, but he
- 1:21:50Speaker 3: also had a couple busts. So he was like, I'm
- 1:21:52Speaker 3: in good shape. I can make real noise here, but
- 1:21:55Speaker 3: I'm not in great shape. If the chalk hits for
- 1:21:57Speaker 3: me here, I'm going to be beaten by a handful
- 1:21:59Speaker 3: of people. Made that aggressive pivot to Bowers and Taequann
- 1:22:02Speaker 3: Thornton and ended up third place in the, in the
- 1:22:04Speaker 3: wildcat for a 50 K off of 33, 33 entry. So, uh, again,
- 1:22:10Speaker 3: shout out to him. I gave him a ton of
- 1:22:11Speaker 3: credit in the discord. Like that was one of the
- 1:22:13Speaker 3: boldest and sharpest, uh, late swap decisions I've seen. We
- 1:22:16Speaker 3: can do something similar this week with this Denver stack
- 1:22:18Speaker 3: where you can play it. We're like, uh, I think the,
- 1:22:21Speaker 3: the Denver stack, especially if you're using Keaton as the
- 1:22:23Speaker 3: bring back is, is a lot cheaper than the Arizona
- 1:22:25Speaker 3: Detroit stack in at least most iterations. So you can
- 1:22:28Speaker 3: do something like Denver, uh, uh, Denver stack with Gibbs
- 1:22:33Speaker 3: that can pivot to a Detroit over stack without Gibbs.
- 1:22:37Speaker 3: And you just hope that it's, you know, uh, it's,
- 1:22:41Speaker 3: it's Amon raw and Jameson maybe and Laporta or something
- 1:22:44Speaker 3: like that this week. Uh, and, and Gibbs has the
- 1:22:47Speaker 3: 15 to 20 purple point performance instead of the 40
- 1:22:49Speaker 3: point performance.
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: So I, I like that route a lot as well. Um,
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: We brought up Colts Steelers. We want to talk about
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: that one.
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: I got two more games we'll go to, but Schefter
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: just posted this one. I mean, literally only Marv Harrison
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: could even getting traded wrong. Like he can mess up
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: everything and even, even getting traded. So Adam Schefter says
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: the one certainty is that Marvin Harrison's time in Arizona
- 1:23:11Speaker 2: is done. Arizona feels comfortable enough to know it can
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: and will trade Harrison, which is why he will be
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: inactive Sunday. That's hilarious. It goes on to say, but
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: no Harrison trade will be completed until after Sunday's games
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: are played.
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: So we're just going to guess who it is for
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: the whole weekend. This is fun. I like this.
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: I think it's the Chiefs. I think Maddox got it right.
- 1:23:32Speaker 2: I honestly think that Tyreek's stuff, again, like you said,
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: should be the way it is. And I think they
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: were trying to sneak something through. Didn't work out. All
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: they have, like the stuff in court and all that
- 1:23:40Speaker 2: stuff is just disgusting. So all that stuff comes out.
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: Now it's like, yeah, they can't associate with that, even
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: if they wanted to reunite them. I just don't think
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: people will. He's not like, it reminds me of the...
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: another scumbag ray rice right that situation you're not good
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: enough that someone's gonna take on this risk and bring
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: you in you know it seems to work out that
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: way for some too but it's like if you got
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: you know unless you you're crazy good you got a
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: lot going for you teams aren't gonna risk it uh.
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: The only the only thing there is like.
- 1:24:10Speaker 3: Replacing taekwon with tyreek hill from a football perspective makes
- 1:24:13Speaker 3: sense because then you're you're you're still getting that speed
- 1:24:16Speaker 3: that clear out guy deep threat who when like last week, when,
- 1:24:20Speaker 3: when the defense says, yeah, but we know you don't
- 1:24:22Speaker 3: want to throw deep. So we're just going to let
- 1:24:23Speaker 3: the clear out guy run. It's like, well, my homes
- 1:24:25Speaker 3: is my homes. He's going to say, all right, I'll
- 1:24:27Speaker 3: just make that pass and get the 50 yards right now. Um,
- 1:24:31Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison jr.
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: Isn't that guy? He's just, he's, he's not that guy.
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: So yeah, they can work around that though. I know
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: what you're saying. Like I, maybe it's not them, but
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: I think that a team like that, I think I
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: saw it earlier. A previous tweet was posted or anything
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: that said.
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: I, I've now seen two people in the chat ask
- 1:24:51Speaker 3: what we're talking about with the news about why Tyree
- 1:24:53Speaker 3: Kill is a scumbag. Are there people who really don't
- 1:24:56Speaker 3: know that, or are they confused and thinking that we're
- 1:24:58Speaker 3: talking about Marvin Harrison Jr.
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: Tyree Kill, you can just type it into your search bar.
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: It's not a difficult thing to find out.
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: He's probably not getting signed. Yeah. Now it says one
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: team that has had talks with him is Houston.
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: Could be that as well. But Houston has some stuff coming.
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: Isn't Tank Dell?
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: Tank Dell is almost back. Nico's there. They seem to
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: know well.
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: They got Booty, who has been Booty Cheats, but maybe
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: he can show up and do something. But I will
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: say the Kansas City thing, someone had posted what I
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: was saying before about his contract not really being as
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: prohibitive as what you might think. So it's like, who
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: gives a shit? Let's take a shot on him, and
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: then we can figure it out from there. Yeah, they
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: said we thought you meant to have it.
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: No, he's just bad. Tyreek Hill. Marvin Harrison stinks, but
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: he seems like a fine person.
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: Seems like a nice guy, though. Yeah, horrible football, but,
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: or has been. Two games. We'll go to both of them,
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: but I'm just saying Pittsburgh and Indy. You talked about
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: Downs being the run back. And then you talked about
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: the Wilson versus Jeremy stuff, Bernard there. But the, um,
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: the other one I want to talk about is any,
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: we talked about a different J love earlier and his
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: ownership steaming is this guy's ownership steaming or anything to
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: go with it? Because we can go back to Pittsburgh indie.
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: We already hit it on a little, but I do
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: want to mention this game. Some green Bay it's love.
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: It's Watson. It's golden. It's craft all at home. Chicago, Badgent,
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: I believe, right? Going to be him again this week.
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: You've got Burden. But my big thing here is like
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: Swift is going to be popular, right? There's no man guy.
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: And we know this. So when you talked about like
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: the Washington thing, it's not the same because price and
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: differences and all these other factors. Some of these other
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: guys you can make moves on like Trey Harris. You
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: can just play Gadsden or you could play Keaton Mitchell instead.
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: Similar prices, different positions, still just a one-off. Let's run
- 1:26:45Speaker 2: with it. With Washington and you're leveraging him, you're saying,
- 1:26:47Speaker 2: I'm going to not play him. But you could play
- 1:26:50Speaker 2: a Tucker with Brock Bowers, with Cousins, with a real
- 1:26:53Speaker 2: defense situation that could work in your favor. And Drake
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: may look better last week as well. So you could
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: see that back and forth. But you could leverage it
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: and also get to a unique roster construction. That way,
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: that makes sense. So that one's really powerful. Is there
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: anything you see here in this one, knowing that really
- 1:27:08Speaker 2: right now, it looks like just kind of Swift is
- 1:27:10Speaker 2: going to be popular and then take it from there?
- 1:27:14Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, I, I think the golden is going to
- 1:27:17Speaker 3: be popular. Christian Watson has a chance to steam a
- 1:27:19Speaker 3: little bit. Tucker craft is going to get it at
- 1:27:21Speaker 3: a touch of ownership. So I, I think love stuff
- 1:27:25Speaker 3: could be a little bit popular. I don't love the game.
- 1:27:27Speaker 3: I just think the game environment, like the bears want
- 1:27:29Speaker 3: to run the ball even now, maybe there'll be a
- 1:27:31Speaker 3: little bit more pass happy, um, since they don't have
- 1:27:34Speaker 3: an unguided lean on as well, but they.
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: Want to run the ball. They want to bleed, bleed,
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: bleed clock. Uh, I don't, I don't love the environment.
- 1:27:43Speaker 3: Um, with Indy and, and Pittsburgh, at least they're like
- 1:27:47Speaker 3: both teams have given up a bunch of explosive passes.
- 1:27:50Speaker 3: So you can get the game environment really pushed in
- 1:27:52Speaker 3: that regard. The last one that I want to talk
- 1:27:54Speaker 3: about is Washington and New York, similar idea to Arizona,
- 1:27:57Speaker 3: New York last week, where if McLaurin plays now, that's,
- 1:28:02Speaker 3: that's still a big variable. Uh, the thing I really
- 1:28:04Speaker 3: like about this game number, when you have a rushing
- 1:28:06Speaker 3: upside quarterback and Jane and Daniels, um, you also have
- 1:28:11Speaker 3: mid priced wide receivers that have the kind of ceiling
- 1:28:14Speaker 3: where if they hit, it's a guarantee that they're cheap
- 1:28:17Speaker 3: quarterback hits. If McLaurin has a big game, if neighbors
- 1:28:20Speaker 3: has the kind of game that he had last week, like,
- 1:28:22Speaker 3: you know, that they're bringing the quarterback with them. So
- 1:28:25Speaker 3: that makes that game interesting. The only thing is like,
- 1:28:28Speaker 3: if you're thinking about both this Washington and New York
- 1:28:31Speaker 3: defense and the way they were last year, where both
- 1:28:33Speaker 3: were really susceptible explosives, at least so far this year,
- 1:28:37Speaker 3: they haven't been that way. So I can see that getting...
- 1:28:40Speaker 3: environment being overrated a little bit. I think this game,
- 1:28:44Speaker 3: as well as the, the pit game and like a
- 1:28:47Speaker 3: handful of others have some rain and wind concerns that
- 1:28:50Speaker 3: we have to monitor.
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: So I'm not super into all of them.
- 1:28:54Speaker 3: I also think that like, this is one of those
- 1:28:56Speaker 3: rare instances where I might actually have more interest in
- 1:28:58Speaker 3: Washington than If McLaurin doesn't play, because then I feel
- 1:29:02Speaker 3: very good about the role for Antonio Williams, feel very
- 1:29:04Speaker 3: good about the role for Traylon Burks. Both of them
- 1:29:06Speaker 3: can make some explosive plays, especially Burks. And now you're
- 1:29:10Speaker 3: just like, you're saving so, so much money through the stack.
- 1:29:13Speaker 3: Neighbors is an awesome bring back. So I'd be interested there.
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder too, how do you feel about the
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: Williams versus Burks if McLaurin plays? Because I think Neighbors
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: makes this thing work perfect. I think Jaden Daniels at 6K.
- 1:29:27Speaker 2: Look at what he was doing before the injury in
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: the Dallas game a couple weeks ago. And you'll say, oh,
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: but it's Dallas. I mean, oh, it's the Giants. There's
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: still a possibility here at 6K. He's only 500 bucks
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: more than Brissette. and you've got stacking partners, but when
- 1:29:40Speaker 2: you had the Wilson versus Bernard conversation earlier for Pittsburgh,
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: which we'll segue to that to finalize this, um, Williams
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: versus Berks. If McClure, cause I just looked it up
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: over here. I have it up on the screen. DFSOS.
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: It was, um, limited at Friday practice, most likely game
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: time decision. Diggs is obviously out any, any thoughts on this?
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: And then people are talking about the weather as well.
- 1:30:04Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, the, the weather's a bit of a concern. Uh,
- 1:30:07Speaker 3: I don't want to spend too much time on it now.
- 1:30:09Speaker 3: Cause I think we get a better forecast tomorrow, but
- 1:30:13Speaker 3: I think I would prefer Williams just cause he ran,
- 1:30:16Speaker 3: he ran 33 routes last week, the leading the team.
- 1:30:18Speaker 3: Now Bert's still got 28. That was with digs in
- 1:30:20Speaker 3: no McLaurin. So maybe that moves things a little bit,
- 1:30:23Speaker 3: you know, that's, that's mostly the.
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: Slot guy out.
- 1:30:27Speaker 3: So maybe, maybe Williams moves into the slack. It's, it's
- 1:30:30Speaker 3: a little bit hard to say, but yeah, I think
- 1:30:32Speaker 3: they're both actually quite interesting. Williams had a 24% target
- 1:30:35Speaker 3: per route run. Last week, only 11% for Burks. But
- 1:30:39Speaker 3: Burks' stuff is the more explosive stuff. He had, let's see, 29.7-yard
- 1:30:46Speaker 3: average depth of target last week, 89 air yards.
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: Williams was still good, though, at 12.1.
- 1:30:51Speaker 3: So yeah, I think Washington is definitely intriguing, and that's
- 1:30:54Speaker 3: a game environment that I think could get pushed.
- 1:30:57Speaker 2: All right. Anything else that you want to hit on there?
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: If not, we can finalize on the Pittsburgh Indy stuff.
- 1:31:03Speaker 2: I was segwaying to that. Anything more to add? The
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: one thing I guess I'll add on the Pittsburgh Indy
- 1:31:06Speaker 2: before I send it to you that I wanted to
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: say it earlier, I'll say it now, is part of
- 1:31:10Speaker 2: the Rodgers saying whatever he wants it and dropping all
- 1:31:13Speaker 2: those F-bombs to the sideline. By the way, I haven't
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: heard you say that many F-bombs ever.
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: I was quoting him.
- 1:31:19Speaker 2: You might have. Yeah, those are just quotes. I like
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: that one. I'll use that in the future.
- 1:31:22Speaker 3: Also, you haven't played golf with me. So that's where
- 1:31:25Speaker 3: they come out.
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see that. But that's for everybody, I think,
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: that plays golf, no matter how good. I mean, you're
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: actually very good at golf. Other people are not, so
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: it makes it even easier. But I will say, part
- 1:31:35Speaker 2: of it is, too, I think it's just like this
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: last hurrah, and he's stuck in a situation where no...
- 1:31:41Speaker 2: is Pittsburgh winning a Superbowl? This is like building the
- 1:31:43Speaker 2: lineups we talked about earlier. Could they? Sure. Anything's possible.
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: Will they? Probably not. So it's like, that's, he's just
- 1:31:48Speaker 2: doing whatever he wants. He's got very close to the
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: 300 yard bonus this last couple of weeks, which he
- 1:31:53Speaker 2: almost never gets to because he's just saying whatever. He's
- 1:31:57Speaker 2: throwing it up there to these guys, taking his shots.
- 1:31:59Speaker 2: And then he's throwing touchdowns when he gets down there.
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: I know like Warren and you could play Warren with Rogers,
- 1:32:05Speaker 2: by the way, but I think it's funny that it's
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: also like when he's down there, he's just going for himself.
- 1:32:09Speaker 2: like whatever he can get to stack up. And I
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: kind of like, someone said earlier, like Roger's DGAF mode. Well,
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: that's what it's kind of always been when he's wanted
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: to prove himself, even when it's at the Packers. But
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: it's like right now, I feel like he's heavy in
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: that mode. So he can just go.
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: That's a really good point. And he has control of
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage.
- 1:32:26Speaker 3: So like, even if there's a run call and they're
- 1:32:28Speaker 3: on the one yard line, Roger's like.
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: Fuck that.
- 1:32:30Speaker 3: I'm throwing this in. We're calling a slant to DK Metcalf.
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: That's what we're doing three times in a row here.
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: And what's McCarthy going to say? He called him out
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: the other day. That's what I was saying earlier. He said,
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: that's a terrible play call. He's coming at him even.
- 1:32:42Speaker 2: And McCarthy was like, he's an asshole or whatever. He
- 1:32:44Speaker 2: said that one came out with so much lip reading
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: going on. And both those guys, very easy to tell
- 1:32:49Speaker 2: what they're saying. But yeah, he's definitely one just to say,
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: forget it. I'm calling it like this and we're doing
- 1:32:54Speaker 2: it this way. So I think for me, it's just
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh side. I do think your point on downs
- 1:33:00Speaker 2: was critical. It sounds minor, but I'm just noting it.
- 1:33:03Speaker 2: I really do think because Wilson, Bernard, even Metcalf are
- 1:33:07Speaker 2: also cheap. I think the first thought is to immediately
- 1:33:11Speaker 2: get JT in and someone would be like, ah, I
- 1:33:14Speaker 2: got JT and Gibbs. I'm set. It can work. I
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: would play it in some game stacks, especially if this
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: is going to be in my portfolio of game stacks.
- 1:33:22Speaker 2: I'm definitely playing Pittsburgh Indy. I think that makes sense
- 1:33:24Speaker 2: to have some because that is a rare scenario. It's
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: tough to run on these guys. But what if Jonathan
- 1:33:30Speaker 2: Taylor does the Bucky Irving display from the other night?
- 1:33:32Speaker 2: It just is like speed the game up, run a
- 1:33:34Speaker 2: bunch early, now get the team throwing the other way.
- 1:33:37Speaker 2: That could do it for sure. But I like your
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: call out of just using up those wide receiver positions.
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: And then you've still got two running backs, a big
- 1:33:46Speaker 2: boy tight end and a big boy flex wide receiver
- 1:33:49Speaker 2: if you want it as well. Anything you want to
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: add more on that one? And then I'm going to
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: hit you with one more off the cuff.
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: Let's go one more off the cuff and then jump
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: into leverage lanes.
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: Okay. Gibbs McBride mini stack in like every non-stacked lineup.
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: Super popular, right? And then what do you think of it?
- 1:34:07Speaker 3: Um, let's check that conditional ownership because let's see.
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: Gibbs and bride.
- 1:34:17Speaker 3: And then let's say, uh, no quarterbacks from that game.
- 1:34:21Speaker 3: So golf and Brissette.
- 1:34:27Speaker 2: Should be up. Um, now they're talking about the Marv Harrison,
- 1:34:30Speaker 2: CJ Stroud connection from before. So plausible theory, they're saying
- 1:34:35Speaker 2: reunited with his college quarterback. All right.
- 1:34:38Speaker 3: Uh, 7% of the field using Gibbs and McBride without either,
- 1:34:43Speaker 3: either quarterback. I mean, I don't, I don't love that
- 1:34:48Speaker 3: just cause like, now what I will say about this
- 1:34:51Speaker 3: is remember that we we've had this conversation that like
- 1:34:54Speaker 3: when tight ends go off, it's, it's largely cause you know, they're,
- 1:34:57Speaker 3: they're catching a bunch of short passes. So there's not
- 1:34:59Speaker 3: a ton available for the rest of the offense and
- 1:35:02Speaker 3: the game environment as a whole. Same can be said
- 1:35:03Speaker 3: about Gibbs. So like, if you get a slower game
- 1:35:08Speaker 3: where this is like 27, 21, and all the production
- 1:35:12Speaker 3: is concentrated, at least these two could go off in
- 1:35:16Speaker 3: a way that not just like survives the rest of
- 1:35:21Speaker 3: the game kind of going off, but actually prevents the
- 1:35:24Speaker 3: rest of the game from going off. So yeah, I'm
- 1:35:26Speaker 3: more interested in this game stack than most, or mini
- 1:35:30Speaker 3: stack than most for that reason. But I still think
- 1:35:33Speaker 3: like the combinatorial ownership is, you're not getting a discount
- 1:35:37Speaker 3: in any way. They're more owned than we would expect
- 1:35:42Speaker 3: just given their individual ownerships, I believe.
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: Actually, you know what? Let me take that back.
- 1:35:49Speaker 3: So with Gibbs in, Goff out, Brissett out, the conditional
- 1:35:52Speaker 3: ownership for McBride drops from 42.5% to 26%.
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: So it's still popular, but it's not crazy. And So yeah,
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: I could be interested in that. You could talk.
- 1:36:03Speaker 2: I think it's better because I think it's like one
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: that actually slows, like shows how the game could slow down.
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: And you've talked about it a bunch where it's like
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: almost if I'm stacking reset. you had it up there earlier.
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: It's obviously insane with McBride. It's yes. It could get
- 1:36:17Speaker 2: there that way too. Could our, our big thing from today,
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: the takeaway is the goods versus what we're going to
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: play for. It's like, I actually think it's going to
- 1:36:23Speaker 2: be a game where typically, and we've seen it with
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: the tight end production, where I almost want Brissette with
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: Bowers or something, or Brissette with craft or Brissette with
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: something else that I'm planning in. I'm going to play
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: it in a different way. and get there that way.
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: That's how I would do it. Because in this scenario,
- 1:36:37Speaker 2: it's like Gibbs just does it for the running back
- 1:36:40Speaker 2: position and for himself because he's one of the best
- 1:36:42Speaker 2: fantasy football players we've seen in a long time. And
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: I mean it, obviously one of the best football players,
- 1:36:46Speaker 2: but really good from a fantasy perspective as well. Him
- 1:36:49Speaker 2: and Bijan are prime examples of like really racking it
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: up in many ways. McBride would be like catch and fall,
- 1:36:56Speaker 2: catch and fall. It was what you'd hope for. Clock run,
- 1:36:58Speaker 2: clock run. They still both get theirs, but you don't
- 1:37:00Speaker 2: need the whole game stack at that point.
- 1:37:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I think one thing you could do there is
- 1:37:04Speaker 3: you could go like Brissette, Wilson, Bourne, bring it back
- 1:37:09Speaker 3: with Gibbs and Jameson or something like that, whatever you want,
- 1:37:12Speaker 3: and then get Bowers too because now you're telling the
- 1:37:14Speaker 3: story of, hey, this game goes off.
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: McBride doesn't have a great game.
- 1:37:18Speaker 3: And because McBride doesn't have a great game, it gives
- 1:37:20Speaker 3: Bowers an even higher chance than usual to separate at
- 1:37:23Speaker 3: the position. So yeah, I like that thought as well.
- 1:37:26Speaker 3: We've got lots of candidates now for leverage lane. I'm
- 1:37:28Speaker 3: curious to hear where you're going.
- 1:37:29Speaker 2: Yeah, mine's going to be easy, but we'll get there
- 1:37:31Speaker 2: in a second. Last thing this guy said, my take
- 1:37:34Speaker 2: on it is someone sent an offer. The Cardinals agreed
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: they will do it. on on monday if no one
- 1:37:40Speaker 2: offers something better in that time frame and it's kind
- 1:37:43Speaker 2: of like the point of what's the worst that can
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: happen everything falls through and it's like you could have
- 1:37:47Speaker 2: literally max crosby going to the ravens and then a
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: trade fall apart so what's it matter if they sit
- 1:37:53Speaker 2: at marvin harrison for one game try and get the
- 1:37:55Speaker 2: maximum for like hey well we got a deal but
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: let's get a last hurrah and see if we can
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: get something better because they obviously hate to to lose
- 1:38:02Speaker 2: them for nothing right they want to try and get something.
- 1:38:04Speaker 3: It's risky though because like you know let's let's suppose
- 1:38:07Speaker 3: for a second that it's Houston. And now let's say, uh,
- 1:38:10Speaker 3: you know, Keishon booty goes out and has a hundred
- 1:38:12Speaker 3: yard game. It's like, well, do they now want Marvin
- 1:38:14Speaker 3: Harrison jr. So it's risky.
- 1:38:17Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. Definitely a risk, but I think they're willing
- 1:38:19Speaker 2: to take it at this point with him specifically because whatever, whatever,
- 1:38:23Speaker 2: but all right, I'll, uh, I'll let you do your
- 1:38:25Speaker 2: lane first. I don't think it's mine.
- 1:38:27Speaker 3: So you go ahead. I, I think the, with this
- 1:38:31Speaker 3: uh this harrison news i think that wilson is going
- 1:38:33Speaker 3: to get so insanely owned and mcbride's going to get
- 1:38:35Speaker 3: so insanely owned that i want the leverage of of
- 1:38:38Speaker 3: trying to tell the story of how they fail and
- 1:38:40Speaker 3: so um whether that's gibbs and the detroit defense the
- 1:38:44Speaker 3: main point is is the detroit defense i think is
- 1:38:47Speaker 3: um is the way to go and And so it's
- 1:38:49Speaker 3: weird to like my leverage lane is play the Detroit DST.
- 1:38:53Speaker 3: It's not so much playing Detroit. It's this is how
- 1:38:57Speaker 3: I'm fading the game. And particularly, this is how I'm
- 1:39:02Speaker 3: fading Wilson and McBride specifically. If you're fading them, you
- 1:39:06Speaker 3: need to tell the story of how they fail. And
- 1:39:08Speaker 3: to me, the main way that they fail is, well,
- 1:39:11Speaker 3: what if Detroit's pass rush just is suffocating Brissette all
- 1:39:14Speaker 3: game long and preventing stuff that way?
- 1:39:18Speaker 2: Damn. It's not Detroit D, but the other side of
- 1:39:22Speaker 2: it is what you took. And mine was going to be,
- 1:39:24Speaker 2: it's a little bit bolder, I think, because of what
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: their ownership percentage is going to be. But I'm fading
- 1:39:27Speaker 2: both Wilson and McBride and Brissette in my single entry.
- 1:39:34Speaker 2: So it's just like, we talked about it enough throughout
- 1:39:36Speaker 2: the show, but it's the same way in a different thing.
- 1:39:38Speaker 2: I don't necessarily know if I'll put the Detroit D
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: in there because of that. I could, but there's other
- 1:39:43Speaker 2: ways that I could play it as well. But I'm
- 1:39:44Speaker 2: just noting that I don't want any of those guys
- 1:39:46Speaker 2: in those lives. Like I said, even in my Brissette lineups,
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: I more want, um, Brissette and the Brock Bowers situation
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: I talked about. So maybe there's opportunity for that now.
- 1:39:56Speaker 2: Maybe there's some lineups I can do where it's like
- 1:39:58Speaker 2: Brissette love born with Brock Bowers and something like that.
- 1:40:02Speaker 2: And I have all the money to spend and things
- 1:40:04Speaker 2: like that. And the reason Brock Bowers comes in is
- 1:40:05Speaker 2: like I said, I'm trying to take the points from
- 1:40:07Speaker 2: the other side. So it kind of, um, is yours,
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: but in a different way. But I was, cause my
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: thing is like the, the Wilson situation is like, yes,
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: the spot's good. Yes. It just got better. The ownership
- 1:40:19Speaker 2: is just going to be outlandish in the portfolio with
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: all these lineups that have, you know, six, five, six
- 1:40:24Speaker 2: other different spots. You can do it in my main
- 1:40:26Speaker 2: single entry. I just want to attack in a different way.
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: I'm treating it that way. I don't want to play them.
- 1:40:32Speaker 2: in that. So, uh, him and McBride for sure are
- 1:40:34Speaker 2: going to be out of it. This is what soccer
- 1:40:36Speaker 2: junkie said about yours before you said it to already
- 1:40:38Speaker 2: was in here, said, I like lions D a lot.
- 1:40:41Speaker 2: Arizona offensive line is very bad. Jacoby isn't the type
- 1:40:43Speaker 2: of quarterback to take advantage of the explosives lines, give
- 1:40:45Speaker 2: up in the secondary. Could be very true. Also, it's
- 1:40:49Speaker 2: the slice and dice effect. That's all I like that
- 1:40:51Speaker 2: you went with it. I was talking about this. Gibbs
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: is going to be popular no matter what in the
- 1:40:54Speaker 2: game stacks on the lineups that don't have them. It's
- 1:40:56Speaker 2: just cheaper guys. So it fits Gibbs. So to me, it's,
- 1:41:00Speaker 2: it's that. And, you know, Jeremy says for mine, how
- 1:41:03Speaker 2: do you build with Bauer's price tag? How don't you?
- 1:41:07Speaker 3: It's like, it's basically the same price tag as McBride
- 1:41:11Speaker 3: and 40% of the field is able to build that way. So.
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: 300 bucks more.
- 1:41:13Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:41:14Speaker 2: And if you have watched any of the games, I mean,
- 1:41:16Speaker 2: I feel like Bowers could have had much better games
- 1:41:19Speaker 2: even than he had, even like last week at 86 yards,
- 1:41:21Speaker 2: he got held at, um, you know, there was, there
- 1:41:23Speaker 2: was more opportunity.
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: And that was, that was one of the better defensive
- 1:41:25Speaker 1: coordinators in the league. Spagnola. Like, yes.
- 1:41:29Speaker 3: Selling out to stop Bowers and he still got to
- 1:41:32Speaker 3: 25 draft Kings points.
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: So yeah, I think, I think Bowers is awesome.
- 1:41:34Speaker 2: And their coaching is a disaster, by the way, on
- 1:41:37Speaker 2: their particular team, you have one chance to come back
- 1:41:40Speaker 2: in that game. I think they ran because the reason
- 1:41:42Speaker 2: I calculated, because I would have won a FFWC seat.
- 1:41:45Speaker 2: I think they ran nine plays and decided Brock Bowers
- 1:41:48Speaker 2: on even one would be a bad idea. So let's
- 1:41:50Speaker 2: just run nine plays and not use him when we
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: need to come back and win the game. The broadcast
- 1:41:56Speaker 2: is literally circling the guy over and over. Like here
- 1:41:59Speaker 2: he is. Should probably go to him here. Nope. I
- 1:42:01Speaker 2: think it was nine plays. And they decided that we'll
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: just go with zero for nine on trying to include
- 1:42:05Speaker 2: our guy who someone said it best soccer junkie again,
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: Bowers is.
- 1:42:08Speaker 3: Yeah, he is.
- 1:42:09Speaker 2: And he's, he's tight end one pricing at nine. or sorry,
- 1:42:13Speaker 2: he's tight on one pricing for a wide receiver one.
- 1:42:16Speaker 2: He has been up there with these other guys that
- 1:42:19Speaker 2: you're looking at, like Colin's first big game last week,
- 1:42:21Speaker 2: which someone asked earlier, were we on it? We talked
- 1:42:23Speaker 2: about all over this show. It ended up being my
- 1:42:25Speaker 2: main core on the site was Stroud, Nico, Lamb. It's
- 1:42:29Speaker 2: what came 12th in the Mega Millie. That was just
- 1:42:31Speaker 2: a great spot to be in, but he's done a
- 1:42:33Speaker 2: lot more and will do a lot more this season
- 1:42:36Speaker 2: than a lot of your 7K wide receivers are, will,
- 1:42:39Speaker 2: or will still stay healthy for. So lots of different
- 1:42:41Speaker 2: ways to go there. when it comes to that and
- 1:42:44Speaker 2: opportunity that way. Um, Alex, let the people know where
- 1:42:46Speaker 2: they can find you, what else you got going on, man.
- 1:42:48Speaker 2: And then we'll get out of here. Good, good show.
