- 0:09Speaker 1: All systems go.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Clear for liftoff.
- 0:41Speaker 1: The sky is falling. College football is ruined forever. The
- 0:44Speaker 1: regular season means nothing. What's going on, everybody? Happy Friday.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Welcome to the mid-season week seven college football breakdown at
- 0:52Speaker 1: Ship It Nation. My name is Bill. Put a dollar
- 0:53Speaker 1: in front of it. You'll find me on Twitter slash X.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Joining me are my colleagues and good friends, Kenny, a.k.a.
- 1:00Speaker 1: HamHawk41 and Ian. I am Robbins. What's going on today, guys?
- 1:05Speaker 3: Big news dropping in college football world. You know, always something.
- 1:10Speaker 3: things have changed so much in the last five years.
- 1:12Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about, but
- 1:14Speaker 3: you know, halfway through the season, I can't believe it's
- 1:16Speaker 3: already halfway through.
- 1:17Speaker 4: Also can't believe that we are another, we got a
- 1:19Speaker 4: whole nother half of this stuff left. This can be great.
- 1:23Speaker 5: Yeah. I, um, gosh, it's kind of a tough couple
- 1:26Speaker 5: of weeks, uh, on the DFS streets, but hopefully getting
- 1:31Speaker 5: that turned around.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:32Speaker 5: I don't, with the whole playoff, I always thought like
- 1:35Speaker 5: four was perfect. Like you're going to get your champion
- 1:37Speaker 5: out of that, but I've definitely been proven wrong with,
- 1:40Speaker 5: Miami getting to the national championship last year. And just like,
- 1:43Speaker 5: we've seen these teams that are, that maybe would not
- 1:46Speaker 5: have been in that get to the championship. So I'm
- 1:49Speaker 5: kind of all for it now, I guess more competitive
- 1:52Speaker 5: games in December or whatever, I guess when you're a
- 1:54Speaker 5: half 12, what's 24.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Yeah. And I like, I, I'm not, I guess I'm
- 1:59Speaker 1: not shocked at the reaction on socials and by the
- 2:02Speaker 1: general college football fan community, but I, it's the same
- 2:07Speaker 1: people that, wanted to keep it at two instead of
- 2:09Speaker 1: four wanted to keep it at four instead of 12
- 2:12Speaker 1: but you know if you want to keep it at
- 2:13Speaker 1: four what how do florida state fans feel about that
- 2:16Speaker 1: if you want to keep it at 12 how do
- 2:18Speaker 1: notre dame fans feel about that i like the idea
- 2:20Speaker 1: of 24 i've been saying it all week in the
- 2:22Speaker 1: community on socials like i can't wait till umass goes
- 2:25Speaker 1: on the road to austin and beats texas in the
- 2:28Speaker 1: first round just the chaos and pandemonium obviously it's different
- 2:31Speaker 1: than basketball but I've been seeing sentiment that it's all
- 2:36Speaker 1: about the money. It's too many teams. Now it's not just,
- 2:41Speaker 1: you know, it's not going to be as competitive, all
- 2:43Speaker 1: this stuff. But you could argue the same for basketball,
- 2:45Speaker 1: March Madness. That continues to expand. And also, I'm of
- 2:49Speaker 1: the belief that conference realignment and NIL are ruining college
- 2:53Speaker 1: football way more than the CFP expansion.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:58Speaker 3: I think this brings a little bit back to it
- 2:59Speaker 3: because– You know, one thing I really like about this
- 3:04Speaker 3: new format is these teams are getting home games.
- 3:07Speaker 4: You know, you're earning your way into home playoff games.
- 3:10Speaker 3: That's something that I thought has been the coolest part
- 3:12Speaker 3: about the whole playoff expansion right now, is you get
- 3:14Speaker 3: these home campus. Like, there's nothing better than a campus,
- 3:19Speaker 3: meaningful game on campus, and we're going to get more
- 3:21Speaker 3: of these now. So, in the conference title game, since
- 3:24Speaker 3: conference realignment's kind of gone to the wayside, which I
- 3:27Speaker 3: appreciate that, NIL is a whole nother thing we can
- 3:29Speaker 3: get figured out, but at least it's going to bring
- 3:31Speaker 3: some more dollars spread out across the field. We're going
- 3:33Speaker 3: to bring some more home games. It's going to be
- 3:36Speaker 3: a lot more football throughout December, you know, all the
- 3:39Speaker 3: other levels do it. So why not, why not the
- 3:44Speaker 3: division one, as opposed to, you know, FCS, FBS, FCS, D2, D3,
- 3:49Speaker 3: NAIA does it all. Yeah.
- 3:52Speaker 1: And I agree with Hart. It is, everything's about money, right?
- 3:56Speaker 1: Everything is about money. Uh, Yeah, the home playoff game
- 4:00Speaker 1: is going to be insane. So I don't think it's
- 4:03Speaker 1: going to ruin college football. I think the regular season
- 4:06Speaker 1: was already ruined. Now, ideally, they stop making this a
- 4:09Speaker 1: beauty pageant. They let metrics determine more. They get people
- 4:14Speaker 1: to stop scheduling these cupcake games at the beginning of
- 4:16Speaker 1: the season. And we have, you know, wall-to-wall competitive games
- 4:19Speaker 1: instead of, you know, FCS against FBS, P4 versus G6.
- 4:24Speaker 1: So I think there's more that needs to be done,
- 4:26Speaker 1: but I'm not against it. I'm not against the expansion.
- 4:31Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to ruin college football. I
- 4:32Speaker 1: think we'll be just fine. We've made it this far.
- 4:35Speaker 1: I mean, or we could go back to having the
- 4:37Speaker 1: coaches pull an AP poll, decide who our national champion is.
- 4:41Speaker 4: Co-national titles.
- 4:42Speaker 1: I'm sure people would love that. But yeah, Hart, we
- 4:46Speaker 1: do have a great Saturday slate. Speaking of the 90s,
- 4:49Speaker 1: we'll go all the way back. But we have a
- 4:52Speaker 1: good slate ahead of us. You're absolutely right. It is midseason.
- 4:55Speaker 1: We have some good contests on DraftKings. We have the
- 4:58Speaker 1: big mid season. I don't even remember exactly what it's called,
- 5:02Speaker 1: but there's, there's a good big contest for everybody, especially like,
- 5:07Speaker 1: I think it's probably going to rope in a few
- 5:09Speaker 1: new players. So maybe we have a little bit of
- 5:11Speaker 1: a little bit of an advantage, but I do want
- 5:14Speaker 1: to mention quickly that we still have the best deal
- 5:17Speaker 1: in the nation. 349 for the entire season. It's, We're
- 5:21Speaker 1: getting close to mid season. So this becomes less and
- 5:23Speaker 1: less valuable every day. The earlier you get in, the
- 5:26Speaker 1: better off you're gonna be. But if you just love
- 5:28Speaker 1: college football, we do have our single sport packages as well.
- 5:33Speaker 1: The one thing I'll say about that is if you
- 5:36Speaker 1: love football in general, do the NFL CFB or get
- 5:39Speaker 1: the all access because that gets you into the ship
- 5:41Speaker 1: at games. We just had to bump up to a $ 50, 000
- 5:43Speaker 1: prize pool. And this is something you get involved in
- 5:46Speaker 1: every single week. There's a lot of free opportunity to
- 5:49Speaker 1: win money something that nobody else in the industry is doing.
- 5:52Speaker 1: So if you're interested, shipitnation.com backslash games, it'll take you
- 5:57Speaker 1: to the page. The explainers are all here, how you
- 5:59Speaker 1: get the tickets. But I say it every week, the
- 6:03Speaker 1: best time to get in with Ship It Nation is yesterday.
- 6:07Speaker 1: It's the best value in the industry. In my opinion,
- 6:09Speaker 1: the best discord in the industry. I love the community
- 6:12Speaker 1: we've built and we have conversations beyond just picks and
- 6:15Speaker 1: plays and that's what makes us unique. But speaking of
- 6:19Speaker 1: the Saturday slate, One thing that you'll notice as we
- 6:23Speaker 1: go through, we've already had conversations within our group about it.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Everybody's underpriced. And, you know, part of part of one
- 6:31Speaker 1: of the one of the theories is that we're going
- 6:33Speaker 1: to have more players because of this big midseason contest.
- 6:36Speaker 1: People have won tickets on DraftKings and DK wants new people,
- 6:41Speaker 1: maybe that don't know a ton about CFB DFS, but
- 6:43Speaker 1: love college football to be able to play whoever they
- 6:46Speaker 1: want in their lineups. It's very I would. I would
- 6:49Speaker 1: consider it new friendly. What do you guys think about
- 6:52Speaker 1: just the pricing in general? We can start there before
- 6:54Speaker 1: we go game by game. Yeah.
- 6:57Speaker 5: I mean, obviously you look at the slate this week
- 7:00Speaker 5: and you're like, Holy crap. The quarterbacks are all like
- 7:03Speaker 5: priced down a tier from what.
- 7:04Speaker 2: They usually are. Yeah.
- 7:07Speaker 5: I don't know if that's as much of an effect
- 7:08Speaker 5: as like they're having the big GPP or it's like,
- 7:10Speaker 5: it's gotten to the point where guys like Jeremiah Smith,
- 7:13Speaker 5: and Nate Shepard are like projecting better than any quarterbacks
- 7:17Speaker 5: on the slate. And that hasn't been a thing necessarily
- 7:19Speaker 5: every year. So I think kind of think it's a
- 7:21Speaker 5: mix of the both. Cause it was, I mean, they
- 7:23Speaker 5: didn't change it until like really this week's I don't know.
- 7:27Speaker 5: It's just, it's with guys like that. It definitely just
- 7:30Speaker 5: changes the whole build, like to where we've seen like
- 7:33Speaker 5: optimal spit out a position player and super flex. So, yeah,
- 7:38Speaker 5: I think it's just a little mix of the both,
- 7:39Speaker 5: but interesting nonetheless.
- 7:41Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 7:43Speaker 3: It's like every week we get something unique about pricing,
- 7:45Speaker 3: whether it's really, really tight or there's some injury value
- 7:48Speaker 3: or there's a bunch of underpriced players. You know, this week,
- 7:52Speaker 3: no different. It's just a different way to make decisions.
- 7:54Speaker 3: And that's the unique thing about college football. Each week
- 7:56Speaker 3: you're dealing with a different set of players, a different
- 7:59Speaker 3: set of teams, you know, a different strategy as compared
- 8:03Speaker 3: to the NFL. We pretty much have the same teams
- 8:06Speaker 3: over and over again on the slates, college football. Very
- 8:09Speaker 3: few appear week to week on the same slate. So
- 8:11Speaker 3: that's the exciting part about it. And that's the fun
- 8:14Speaker 3: part about it is we just have such a massively
- 8:18Speaker 3: bigger player pool. Just brings different puzzles in each week.
- 8:22Speaker 3: And this week is no different. Some injuries to keep
- 8:25Speaker 3: in mind, but this week is no different with the puzzles.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Yeah, and that is the nice thing. Like you said,
- 8:30Speaker 1: it's a different puzzle every week. And I never even
- 8:32Speaker 1: thought about the fact that we've had wide receivers in
- 8:34Speaker 1: the Superflex. It seems like week after week when you're
- 8:36Speaker 1: running lineups on an optimizer. This gets rid of that,
- 8:40Speaker 1: and maybe it's too far in one direction, but that
- 8:42Speaker 1: very well could be the reason. But we'll get started.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Speaking of injuries and putting the puzzle together, Mississippi State
- 8:49Speaker 1: at LSU. Mississippi State, 15-point underdog. Looking at Kamario Taylor,
- 8:54Speaker 1: this line has moved three points more in some places
- 8:59Speaker 1: this week toward LSU, and that leads us to believe
- 9:02Speaker 1: that Kamario is probably not going to go. So that
- 9:05Speaker 1: leaves Parker Puckett. Who knows, like, Who knows anything about
- 9:09Speaker 1: Parker Bucket? He's got limited playing time. The thing that
- 9:12Speaker 1: sticks out is he's 4,600. But as we kind of
- 9:14Speaker 1: touched on, we don't need to go down there. And
- 9:17Speaker 1: there's going to be other $ 4, 600 options this week that
- 9:20Speaker 1: we'll get to in the next game and more games
- 9:23Speaker 1: to come. Fluff Bothwell is also questionable. Now, Kentucky had
- 9:27Speaker 1: some success on the ground against LSU. Whit Weeks is
- 9:29Speaker 1: still out. Bothwell is just a little bit expensive in
- 9:32Speaker 1: the grand scheme of the slate. Anthony Evans, I think,
- 9:34Speaker 1: is a stud regardless. They finally priced him over 7K, though.
- 9:38Speaker 1: which I think is good for college football because he's
- 9:43Speaker 1: put up Jeremiah Smith-esque numbers already a couple of times
- 9:47Speaker 1: this year. Not that he's Jeremiah Smith. I don't want
- 9:50Speaker 1: to get that twisted. And then on the LSU side, Levitt,
- 9:53Speaker 1: I believe, is the most expensive player on the slate,
- 9:55Speaker 1: but I think in this matchup it's probably warranted. Dylan Jones, absolutely.
- 10:00Speaker 1: workhorse last week. And it's like he had seven catches
- 10:03Speaker 1: on seven targets. So it's not just all coming in
- 10:05Speaker 1: the running game. 8,200, again, a steep price, but easy
- 10:09Speaker 1: to get to on this slate, depending on how you build.
- 10:12Speaker 1: In the wide receiver room, you're looking at Watkins, Harris,
- 10:15Speaker 1: maybe Trey Wilson. With no trade as Green, Roman Mothershed
- 10:18Speaker 1: has been getting uh, some more run, uh, again, with,
- 10:23Speaker 1: with the slate as a whole, I don't think you
- 10:24Speaker 1: need to get too cute. Uh, I like him more
- 10:26Speaker 1: as like an anytime touchdown bet than I do for
- 10:28Speaker 1: DFS specifically this week. Uh, but Ian, uh, like 36
- 10:33Speaker 1: and a half points screams, like there's gotta be something
- 10:35Speaker 1: for cash here, but with the pricing, it makes it
- 10:37Speaker 1: a little bit tougher.
- 10:39Speaker 4: Yeah. Automatically. I think Dylan Jones is probably your best
- 10:42Speaker 4: cash play.
- 10:42Speaker 3: If you have the salary to do that, just a
- 10:44Speaker 3: guy that we really can expect to touch the ball
- 10:46Speaker 3: 20 times, you know, two plus touchdown under a favorite.
- 10:49Speaker 3: for lsu definitely lion screams the super camaro's not going
- 10:53Speaker 3: to play uh dylan jones has been great all year
- 10:56Speaker 3: and then just the uprising the targets last week you
- 10:59Speaker 3: know is he getting involved more in the past game
- 11:01Speaker 3: it's definitely possible especially with trade as green out so
- 11:04Speaker 3: he's definitely a guy that i would definitely target in
- 11:06Speaker 3: cash if you are looking at some of the volume
- 11:10Speaker 3: players here um guy um i always would want to
- 11:14Speaker 3: have in cash as well on the other side is
- 11:15Speaker 3: anthony evans Without Kamara Taylor, though, if he ends up
- 11:18Speaker 3: not playing, I'm a little bit hesitant because Evans is
- 11:21Speaker 3: so speedy. They give him plenty of targets right around
- 11:24Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage, but he's also a massively incredible
- 11:27Speaker 3: deep ball threat, and Kamara Taylor has one of the
- 11:29Speaker 3: best deep balls. He passes the ball deep better than
- 11:36Speaker 3: mostly anybody else in college football. That's really one of
- 11:38Speaker 3: his strengths, and that could hamper Evans a little bit,
- 11:42Speaker 3: but like you said, he's just been an absolute stud
- 11:43Speaker 3: all year. Even Levin at 9K, you know, the way
- 11:47Speaker 3: that he's dual threat, offense just runs through him. It's
- 11:49Speaker 3: hard to ignore him there as well. Seaver's been a
- 11:51Speaker 3: little crapshoot. He's been a little bit condensed to Harris
- 11:56Speaker 3: and Watkins since Tredez Green has been out.
- 11:59Speaker 4: But I definitely would be very interested in Dylan Jones
- 12:03Speaker 4: in this one.
- 12:05Speaker 3: I still like my volume running backs, and Dylan Jones
- 12:09Speaker 3: falls right into that category of volume running backs.
- 12:14Speaker 5: Yeah. I, I guess for me here, I mean, I
- 12:20Speaker 5: assume Kamaru Taylor is not going to play. If we
- 12:22Speaker 5: get word that he's like full go, it's really hard
- 12:25Speaker 5: for me to ignore 7,700 at like no ownership in
- 12:28Speaker 5: a trailing game script. There's definitely better spots, but it'd
- 12:32Speaker 5: be something I'd look into. Assuming him out Evans, I'm
- 12:36Speaker 5: fine with like, as long as I'm running back with
- 12:39Speaker 5: an LSU, like I, I think that he's a good
- 12:42Speaker 5: enough receiver. You just get the ball in his hands,
- 12:44Speaker 5: whether that be at a low, a daughter down the field,
- 12:47Speaker 5: either way, he is pretty pricey. But I think in stacks,
- 12:51Speaker 5: it's fine. Dylan Jones, like he would just score a
- 12:55Speaker 5: touchdown or two. That would just, I mean, it's kind
- 12:59Speaker 5: of where his price tag is. It's like that's already
- 13:01Speaker 5: baked in, but he hasn't been getting it. So there's
- 13:05Speaker 5: really not many, I mean the running backs up top
- 13:08Speaker 5: are so like spread apart that are expensive that you
- 13:11Speaker 5: kind of end up like you just, I feel like
- 13:13Speaker 5: I land on him when I do get to him.
- 13:15Speaker 2: So I don't know.
- 13:16Speaker 5: I'm sure I'll have some, but I don't really have
- 13:18Speaker 5: a stance.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Um, yeah.
- 13:21Speaker 5: And then like Levitt, I think he's been, you know,
- 13:24Speaker 5: he's ran so well and ran so many touchdowns in
- 13:26Speaker 5: the way I'm going to play. I'm going to force
- 13:28Speaker 5: a pairing to get like the ultimate nine K ceiling
- 13:31Speaker 5: out of him tomorrow. Um, hopefully that doesn't drag him
- 13:34Speaker 5: down if he decides to run everything. And hopefully Dylan
- 13:37Speaker 5: Jones gets some of that, but it's a tough spot
- 13:40Speaker 5: like to make a decision, even with the huge team total.
- 13:44Speaker 5: So overall this game, I'm not super intrigued by.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Yeah. I, it'll be interesting to see what Mississippi state
- 13:51Speaker 1: can throw out if they don't have their two, two
- 13:53Speaker 1: of their top three offensive weapons, more for real life
- 13:56Speaker 1: football necessary like them for DFS. Uh, While we're here,

- 14:17Speaker 1: get them in the chat. We're happy to answer them.
- 14:20Speaker 1: I already see the chat getting a little bit active. Kenny,
- 14:22Speaker 1: you want to throw on some pads? Honestly, I'll take
- 14:27Speaker 1: the 100 bucks.
- 14:30Speaker 5: Oh man that's one of my buddies i know that guy.
- 14:34Speaker 4: Okay my buddy's pepper in the chat too.
- 14:37Speaker 1: That was all right yeah uh speaking uh we got
- 14:41Speaker 1: florida at texas uh another double digit spread uh the
- 14:45Speaker 1: road dog okay yeah we're just getting uh it doesn't
- 14:50Speaker 1: we don't think phylo's gonna go so that leaves is
- 14:52Speaker 1: it trammel or trammel i don't even know man okay
- 14:55Speaker 1: that's Okay.
- 14:57Speaker 3: All right.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Tramell Jones coming in another $ 4, 600 quarterback. And then, you know,
- 15:02Speaker 1: Dallas Wilson, we think Brunel Brown's going to go Bailey Stockton,
- 15:05Speaker 1: Eric Singleton, like they're four competent wide receivers. Duke Clark's out,
- 15:09Speaker 1: which spells good things for Jaden Baugh, right? But it's
- 15:14Speaker 1: a tough matchup. He's expensive. Speaking of the matchup, Arch
- 15:17Speaker 1: Manning is the opposite of expensive. This might be the
- 15:19Speaker 1: cheapest he's ever been on DraftKings. I don't, I'm not
- 15:22Speaker 1: going to do any historical looking back, like multiple seasons,
- 15:25Speaker 1: but he's going to pop just because of the team
- 15:28Speaker 1: total and his price, even whether you think he sucks
- 15:31Speaker 1: or not, he's had some tough matchups. Uh, this is
- 15:33Speaker 1: much easier than last week. And then you got smothers
- 15:35Speaker 1: Brown and Cooper all getting a piece of this backfield.
- 15:37Speaker 1: And they're just kind of, it's, it's tough to pinpoint
- 15:41Speaker 1: where we want to go there. And then, uh, in
- 15:44Speaker 1: the wide receiver room, I think these wide receivers are
- 15:46Speaker 1: priced appropriately. I think any one of them can pop.
- 15:48Speaker 1: If you get a touchdown or two from them, they're
- 15:50Speaker 1: all getting a decent amount of the target share. Uh,
- 15:52Speaker 1: how are you playing this? Ian, uh, I know begrudgingly
- 15:55Speaker 1: on your part, we're going to start with you. You're
- 15:57Speaker 1: a resident Florida guy. It's been a tough run for
- 16:00Speaker 1: the Gators.
- 16:00Speaker 3: It's been a tough, you know, talk about swings of
- 16:04Speaker 3: emotions in college football. It can bring you up and
- 16:06Speaker 3: it can bring you down in a hurry. But we're
- 16:09Speaker 3: looking at Florida. So Jones and Philo were in that
- 16:11Speaker 3: quarterback battle all throughout the offseason. Pretty fair shake. Philo
- 16:14Speaker 3: had the advantage just coming from Georgia Tech with Faulkner. So,
- 16:18Speaker 3: you know, Philo's been struggling the last few weeks. He's
- 16:22Speaker 3: taken a lot of hits. Jones is more of a
- 16:24Speaker 3: pocket passer. He was a four-star. He was a holdover recruit,
- 16:29Speaker 3: so he's certainly talented. He's got a pretty big arm.
- 16:33Speaker 3: I think the big deal that would come back is
- 16:35Speaker 3: if Vernal Brown, the third, does come back and he's
- 16:39Speaker 3: been– the way he's so shifty, he just opens up
- 16:42Speaker 3: the field so much for what he does.
- 16:44Speaker 4: He's so dynamic. I think that does open up a lot.
- 16:47Speaker 3: He's been a lot more of a participant at practice,
- 16:49Speaker 3: but he's going to really have to be 100% to go.
- 16:51Speaker 3: I do think he does return this week. Stockton has
- 16:55Speaker 3: played through injuries. Singleton has been back the last few weeks,
- 16:57Speaker 3: and Dallas Wilson has been there. I just think if
- 16:59Speaker 3: VB3 is back, it does open up a lot for
- 17:02Speaker 3: Bob because now everybody's been stacking the line against Bob,
- 17:05Speaker 3: and Philo has been able to beat him by himself
- 17:07Speaker 3: the last few weeks.
- 17:09Speaker 4: So we'll see if Jones can. Still a really, really
- 17:11Speaker 4: tough matchup for all these guys. Bob, 9-5.
- 17:13Speaker 3: He's going to touch the ball 30 times, but he's
- 17:15Speaker 3: just been such– such a bummer the last few weeks,
- 17:19Speaker 3: the last few weeks, uh, saved himself a little bit
- 17:21Speaker 3: with a touchdown last week, but just tough to go there.
- 17:23Speaker 3: And the receivers are priced up, you know, for now
- 17:26Speaker 3: Brown and Dallas Wilson are priced up in a tough
- 17:27Speaker 3: matchup that we kind of got to wait and see
- 17:30Speaker 3: what happens here. And Texas has, you know, for whatever
- 17:33Speaker 3: they are, they have a really good defense. Florida has
- 17:35Speaker 3: been really struggling on the defense, especially to stop the pass.
- 17:38Speaker 3: So we, we look over to ours at six, nine,
- 17:40Speaker 3: and this is, this is the most enticing spot is
- 17:43Speaker 3: probably here. It's probably going to be the highest ownership
- 17:45Speaker 3: we see on our, um, For good or for bad,
- 17:49Speaker 3: they got a 30-point-plus team total. They're a double-digit favorite.
- 17:52Speaker 3: They got a favorable matchup. Cam Coleman has been around,
- 17:56Speaker 3: you know, just throw the ball up to Cam. Running
- 17:59Speaker 3: back room is pretty much a split, so it's hard
- 18:01Speaker 3: to get anyone there. Arch just screams as a really
- 18:04Speaker 3: good play in all formats here and somebody that is
- 18:07Speaker 3: really easy to start your cash lineup with. And I
- 18:11Speaker 3: don't even think you have to stack Arch because, you know,
- 18:14Speaker 3: he will spin the ball around, but... he's just pressing
- 18:17Speaker 3: away in a cash lineup where I don't think you
- 18:18Speaker 3: need to pair him up with anybody. So unfortunately I'm
- 18:22Speaker 3: avoiding the Florida side this week in a single entry
- 18:24Speaker 3: cash line. I do think a snack, a snack, a
- 18:28Speaker 3: stack with Jones Philo or with Jones, Wilson and Brown,
- 18:33Speaker 3: if Brown does go, it can be kind of sneaky
- 18:35Speaker 3: and affordable just with Jones price down so much. If
- 18:38Speaker 3: you're running back with Cam Coleman or somebody like that.
- 18:41Speaker 1: That's greasy. What do you think, Kenny?
- 18:44Speaker 5: You know, the Texas side, you kind of talk specifically
- 18:49Speaker 5: about you don't have to play arch with someone. That's
- 18:52Speaker 5: kind of where my stand is going to be. I mean,
- 18:54Speaker 5: I really like Texas this week. And I guess I'll
- 18:56Speaker 5: kind of start with this. Like, there's two matchups on
- 18:59Speaker 5: the slate that are like this, where it's like the
- 19:00Speaker 5: stoppable force versus the movable object. We've got the stoppable
- 19:04Speaker 5: force in Texas' offense against the movable object in Florida's defense. So, like,
- 19:09Speaker 5: which one is going to prevail here?
- 19:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:11Speaker 5: I really love Cam Coleman. Last week I played a
- 19:14Speaker 5: fair amount of him. He's a super fair price. He
- 19:18Speaker 5: hasn't really tapped into that full ceiling.
- 19:20Speaker 2: I think, yet.
- 19:21Speaker 5: It's kind of been a lower volume passing attack, but
- 19:23Speaker 5: he scores touchdowns. I think he's fine in any way
- 19:27Speaker 5: you play him. I think he can be played by himself.
- 19:30Speaker 5: Wingo and Mosley, I'm going to only play with Arch,
- 19:32Speaker 5: but I am going to play some of them. I
- 19:35Speaker 5: think that it's a solid spot. What scares the crap
- 19:37Speaker 5: out of me is if these running backs get to
- 19:39Speaker 5: do whatever they want to. And then it just, it
- 19:42Speaker 5: just destroys everything. One thing about it, like Texas is
- 19:45Speaker 5: cheap enough that like you can like survive that if
- 19:49Speaker 5: something like that did happen still, like if we, if
- 19:52Speaker 5: some others Brown each score, then maybe you can just
- 19:54Speaker 5: get two to Coleman or two to Wingo or something.
- 19:57Speaker 5: As far as onslaughting, I don't know if I want
- 20:00Speaker 5: to do it with Texas just because of the stoppable
- 20:04Speaker 5: force thing. But, and then Florida side, gosh, like, I
- 20:09Speaker 5: feel for you, dude, because it's like you get all
- 20:11Speaker 5: the way in the top 10, and now you're not
- 20:14Speaker 5: even ranked.
- 20:14Speaker 2: It's like two weeks later.
- 20:15Speaker 1: It's just real.
- 20:16Speaker 4: It is the highs and lows of college football.
- 20:19Speaker 3: This is why we love and hate this sport.
- 20:22Speaker 2: Oh, for sure.
- 20:23Speaker 5: And Jaden Baugh, gosh, it's like I just can't get
- 20:26Speaker 5: there this week. And usually, I mean, he's just been
- 20:30Speaker 5: so inefficient in these last two matchups. It's just hard
- 20:33Speaker 5: for me to get there in 9,500. I can't justify
- 20:36Speaker 5: that against the 9,700 matchups. jeremiah smith um but yeah
- 20:41Speaker 5: tramble jones i have some interest in i kind of
- 20:43Speaker 5: want to dig in some more just he's so cheap
- 20:46Speaker 5: i don't find it with like a texas run back
- 20:49Speaker 5: maybe to push that texas a little bit i mean
- 20:50Speaker 5: florida does still have a 20 point team total um
- 20:55Speaker 5: so i don't know but texas side especially pairing arch
- 20:59Speaker 5: manning i think is a really good really good strategy
- 21:02Speaker 5: this week.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Yeah and i i am on board with arch if
- 21:06Speaker 1: he can't get it right this week when is he
- 21:09Speaker 1: going to get it right? Like he's been one of
- 21:11Speaker 1: the more criticized and for good reason. And honestly, if
- 21:14Speaker 1: you pair Arch Manning with Cam Coleman, six, nine and 600,
- 21:18Speaker 1: you're hitting multiple generations with jokes and both verbal stems. So,
- 21:22Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds great. And speaking of jokes, there's
- 21:24Speaker 1: more inside jokes in the chat. I don't know what
- 21:26Speaker 1: this means, but I'm it's lunchtime for me and I'm starving.
- 21:29Speaker 1: So I don't appreciate this. Ian, I know you have
- 21:32Speaker 1: more Intel on that one.
- 21:35Speaker 4: Yeah, it goes way back. Let's go back 25 years.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Jeez.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Oh man. Speaking of generational jokes.
- 21:41Speaker 2: All right.
- 21:42Speaker 1: We got the sunflower showdown Kansas at Kansas state and
- 21:45Speaker 1: maybe the top two quarterback plays on the slate on
- 21:48Speaker 1: the Kansas side. Isaiah Marshall is just underpriced. He went
- 21:50Speaker 1: off through the air against Utah and also has the
- 21:54Speaker 1: ability to run the ball. You know, I love a
- 21:55Speaker 1: good revenge game. We got Dylan Edwards going against his
- 21:58Speaker 1: former team and that it felt like it was contentious
- 22:01Speaker 1: all season last year after what the third play of
- 22:04Speaker 1: the international game or something like Everything just went to
- 22:07Speaker 1: hell for Dylan Edwards. And it was, it felt like
- 22:11Speaker 1: it was some on the field, some off the field.
- 22:13Speaker 1: And then in terms of wideouts, Cam Pickett at sub 5k,
- 22:15Speaker 1: he's come back with like just some fire and has
- 22:19Speaker 1: had 14 targets last week for 134, even at eight
- 22:22Speaker 1: targets in his first game back. But what I liked
- 22:24Speaker 1: about last game is that he got his route, like
- 22:27Speaker 1: his snaps and routes up along with the targets. So,
- 22:32Speaker 1: clearly getting back into a main target role, possibly even
- 22:37Speaker 1: wide receiver one. Obviously, McMillan's still there getting his share.
- 22:40Speaker 1: Najee Cox is still going to be on the field
- 22:42Speaker 1: a ton, especially because Kubeka's out. Maybe we get a
- 22:45Speaker 1: little more Tate Nagy, but I don't know if we
- 22:46Speaker 1: need to get that cute. Then on the Kansas State side,
- 22:49Speaker 1: Avery Johnson, solid matchup, rivalry game, only 7,500. We know
- 22:54Speaker 1: he's dual threat. Not that he's like, Had like a
- 22:58Speaker 1: super ceiling game yet this year, but his floor is
- 23:01Speaker 1: not going to kill you at this price. Split room
- 23:03Speaker 1: at running back. I'll defer to you guys on that
- 23:06Speaker 1: because I don't have a hard take on these guys.
- 23:08Speaker 1: They're cheap enough. But again, in terms of the slate
- 23:11Speaker 1: as a whole, I'm still undecided on those guys. And
- 23:14Speaker 1: then the wide receiver room, we have some interesting things
- 23:16Speaker 1: going on here. Tibbs and Manning are still going to
- 23:18Speaker 1: be your top two guys in all likelihood. But Garrett
- 23:21Speaker 1: Oakley is questionable. And Garrett Oakley being questionable means Lincoln
- 23:25Speaker 1: Cure is the next man up. His brother plays for
- 23:27Speaker 1: Kansas and he was a super, super highly touted recruit
- 23:32Speaker 1: five-star we believe correct. Kenny, we were talking about this
- 23:35Speaker 1: pre-show and Lincoln Cure is one of the names that
- 23:38Speaker 1: specifically got up. We'll start with you. How are you
- 23:40Speaker 1: attacking this game? It's not a super high total, but it's,
- 23:43Speaker 1: I mean, it's 55, I guess is a high enough total.
- 23:47Speaker 5: Yeah, it's, it's high enough for this slate. I think
- 23:50Speaker 5: the highest is Ole Miss, Missouri at like 59. So
- 23:53Speaker 5: it's not completely out of line by any means. Um, Yeah,
- 23:57Speaker 5: I guess this is probably, like, my favorite game of
- 24:01Speaker 5: the slate, like, to dig into.
- 24:02Speaker 2: I think there's a.
- 24:03Speaker 5: Lot of different ways you can go. For Kansas State, like,
- 24:07Speaker 5: Avery's probably my favorite quarterback play on the slate. He's
- 24:09Speaker 5: obviously the 7,500 is a little sticker shock, and then,
- 24:12Speaker 5: you know, it's still relative to the rest of the
- 24:15Speaker 5: quarterbacks on the slate. I really like him. Kansas is
- 24:19Speaker 5: kind of like a pass funnel. Like, I'm not going
- 24:22Speaker 5: to pretend like I've watched Kansas, but if you look
- 24:23Speaker 5: at some metrics, they're kind of a pass funnel. Kansas
- 24:26Speaker 5: state doesn't necessarily want to throw the ball, but we
- 24:29Speaker 5: have seen like Tibbs Manning Oakley have some good games
- 24:33Speaker 5: and what Bill touched on. If Oakley's out, which he
- 24:36Speaker 5: just popped up on the injury report yesterday and Lincoln
- 24:39Speaker 5: Keir gets the chance and the will arsenal is already out.
- 24:43Speaker 5: Like Kansas state likes to throw their tight ends. Like
- 24:45Speaker 5: I be all over that. And like, cause this, I
- 24:48Speaker 5: finally get a good opportunity to play this guy. Um,
- 24:52Speaker 5: So it's definitely a spot I'm going to monitor. And
- 24:54Speaker 5: if not, I really, I like Oakley. I, he's going
- 24:57Speaker 5: to be unowned. I think all these past catches for
- 24:59Speaker 5: Kansas state.
- 24:59Speaker 2: Will be unowned.
- 25:01Speaker 5: As far as the running backs go, I'm probably going
- 25:05Speaker 5: to play some Rodney fields. I don't really feel great
- 25:09Speaker 5: about it, but gosh, they are cheap. And we've seen
- 25:12Speaker 5: a Kansas state running back pop off a time or two,
- 25:14Speaker 5: but I'm going to kind of lean into that past
- 25:16Speaker 5: funnel take that I have with.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Kansas and the Kansas side.
- 25:20Speaker 5: Last week, I was all over Rayshon Sanford, next to
- 25:25Speaker 5: nothing ownership, nine fantasy points on 20 opportunities. I think
- 25:31Speaker 5: he had 78 and a touchdown. They still did what
- 25:35Speaker 5: I wanted them to do, but it didn't show up.
- 25:39Speaker 5: Dylan Edwards.
- 25:41Speaker 5: I'm glad they priced him at 6,600. Cause you do
- 25:43Speaker 5: have to think about it. I think he's going to
- 25:46Speaker 5: get some ownership. It definitely isn't going to get out
- 25:48Speaker 5: of control and it kind of scares the crap out
- 25:50Speaker 5: of me, but I think the matchup is definitely there
- 25:54Speaker 5: for Dylan Edwards. I don't know if he's going to
- 25:57Speaker 5: be able to be efficient enough, really his, like he
- 26:00Speaker 5: had a good game against the mid Tennessee state. And
- 26:02Speaker 5: then I think he was 18 for 89 against Missouri.
- 26:05Speaker 5: So like, He has a chance to have 20 opportunities here,
- 26:10Speaker 5: and really, I think that's really good.
- 26:13Speaker 2: In the, I guess, Kansas State's rush defense. Really like Marshall.
- 26:17Speaker 5: He threw for over 300 yards last week. It's not very, like,
- 26:22Speaker 5: I never feel good about playing a Kansas quarterback, but
- 26:24Speaker 5: it seems like they've been in this situation so much
- 26:26Speaker 5: over the years. Even when Jalen Daniels was there, they're cheap,
- 26:30Speaker 5: and they will just garbage gut their way to 15
- 26:32Speaker 5: fantasy points, and sometimes they'll get some rushing touchdown variants,
- 26:37Speaker 5: but that's kind of feels like this spot.
- 26:39Speaker 2: Love Pickett.
- 26:40Speaker 5: I think he's really great, but Nick McMillan, he's going
- 26:43Speaker 5: to be unowned here just because Pickett's like to trend
- 26:47Speaker 5: as to be the wide receiver one. McMillan has shown
- 26:51Speaker 5: a ceiling. It's strictly a GPB play and like strictly
- 26:54Speaker 5: with Marshall for me, but it's an interesting way to
- 26:57Speaker 5: get a little different in this game, especially since Pickett's
- 26:59Speaker 5: probably going to pull some ownership, but yeah, I love
- 27:02Speaker 5: stacking this up any which way.
- 27:04Speaker 4: So.
- 27:05Speaker 2: A lot of options. Yes.
- 27:08Speaker 4: It's a really good target game for the, from the
- 27:10Speaker 4: cash perspective.
- 27:11Speaker 3: I think Marshall is one of your top cash quarterback
- 27:13Speaker 3: options at five, eight, uh, you know, tight, tight spread,
- 27:16Speaker 3: even as a hundred dollars, they still have a mid
- 27:18Speaker 3: 20 point 25 and a half point team total. Avery
- 27:20Speaker 3: Johnson's got that dual threat, you know, um, he's been
- 27:25Speaker 3: pretty solid as a DFS option, probably underachieved as a
- 27:27Speaker 3: real life quarterback, but for DFS purposes, he's always been
- 27:30Speaker 3: pretty solid. Marshall can, he's an exciting player. If you've
- 27:35Speaker 3: ever watched him play, he'll throw the ball up. No,
- 27:38Speaker 3: he just plays with no fear and has a really
- 27:43Speaker 3: high ceiling at that spot. And in this kind of
- 27:46Speaker 3: rivalry game, it's really the atmosphere for that. Cam Pickett
- 27:49Speaker 3: is a guy that has been really his, his, just
- 27:53Speaker 3: his target share. His volume has been exploding since he's
- 27:56Speaker 3: been back off injury. And I think he's just kind
- 27:58Speaker 3: of taken over for McMillan and McMillan was getting that
- 28:01Speaker 3: target share early on all the condensed targets. And now
- 28:03Speaker 3: it seems like with pick it kind of back in
- 28:05Speaker 3: the full mode, it's shifting over. He's super affordable under five.
- 28:10Speaker 3: Either of those guys can be played together separately. I
- 28:14Speaker 3: do really like Dylan Edwards. I don't think I want
- 28:16Speaker 3: to play Dylan Edwards with Marshall and or pick it.
- 28:20Speaker 3: I think Dylan Edwards is going to all run through
- 28:22Speaker 3: Dylan Edwards. I do like him as a play. If
- 28:25Speaker 3: I'm making multiple lineups or three max or something like that,
- 28:27Speaker 3: I really do think Dylan Edwards in this spot is
- 28:29Speaker 3: a pretty affordable running back, is the most talented guy,
- 28:32Speaker 3: plus the revenge factor for whatever happened at Kansas State.
- 28:35Speaker 4: I really love that aspect of it.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Kansas State is so hard to pick and choose with
- 28:39Speaker 3: the receivers because they just.
- 28:42Speaker 4: Kind of rotate through. It seems like Fields is more
- 28:44Speaker 4: the runner, Jackson's more the pass catcher.
- 28:47Speaker 3: All those skill guys play, and that's really hard to predict,
- 28:50Speaker 3: but Avery Johnson is a really good do-it-all type quarterback,
- 28:53Speaker 3: so he's something that you can play on his own
- 28:56Speaker 3: in all formats as well.
- 28:57Speaker 4: I'm with you, Kenny. I love this game.
- 29:01Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like it has a good mix of
- 29:03Speaker 1: floor plays and ceiling plays, low-owned pivots that have a
- 29:06Speaker 1: huge amount of upside, so definitely a game worth targeting
- 29:11Speaker 1: in multiple formats DFS. Another game But I think we
- 29:15Speaker 1: may be targeting some. Virginia at SMU, a decently big spread.
- 29:19Speaker 1: Another total over 50. Bo Prabula, 6K flat. Maybe he's
- 29:25Speaker 1: coming around a little bit lately. I know he threw
- 29:27Speaker 1: out a dud or two. It's been a little bit frustrating.
- 29:30Speaker 1: But it's just the 6K, just kind of in that
- 29:33Speaker 1: same range. Actually, one of the more expensive quarterbacks on
- 29:36Speaker 1: the slate, which is weird to say for a $ 6, 000 quarterback.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Jaquel Middlebrook is a bit expensive and it's still a timeshare.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Although he did have a little bit bigger workload this
- 29:45Speaker 1: week and I don't mind the matchup against SMU's run defense.
- 29:49Speaker 1: The wide receiver room though, Virginia has 22 guys out
- 29:52Speaker 1: and most of them are in the wide receiver room.
- 29:54Speaker 1: It feels like no Rico Flores, no Cam Courtney. So
- 29:57Speaker 1: it looks like we'll have Deshaun Martin as wide receiver one,
- 30:00Speaker 1: Talir Coleman, Josiah Abdullah. I don't know. Like it is
- 30:06Speaker 1: really tough to pinpoint who's going to be the next
- 30:08Speaker 1: man up. Those are the three guys that I would say,
- 30:11Speaker 1: maybe it means more for Dakota Twitty and John Rogers
- 30:13Speaker 1: at the tight end position. Then on the SMU side,
- 30:16Speaker 1: Kevin Jennings is a fair price. I'm not scared of
- 30:17Speaker 1: this Virginia defense. Rafael is without Jermichael Green eating into
- 30:22Speaker 1: his workload. So he's going to project as one of
- 30:25Speaker 1: the better plays in the slate. Now, Christian Rhodes is
- 30:27Speaker 1: a former four-star who is back. He's missed the entire
- 30:31Speaker 1: season so far, I believe, with a broken hand. So,
- 30:34Speaker 1: I mean, there's a chance he's in shape. Like, you're
- 30:36Speaker 1: still able to run with a broken hand. You just
- 30:37Speaker 1: can't play football. So at 4K flat, if you do
- 30:41Speaker 1: need savings, which, again, I don't know if you do,
- 30:44Speaker 1: he might slip into that Drameco Green role a little
- 30:47Speaker 1: bit more so than the general public may think. Obviously,
- 30:50Speaker 1: we still have Derek McFall who can get carries. He's
- 30:52Speaker 1: technically a wide receiver on DraftKings. But then I think
- 30:55Speaker 1: we have a little bit of the same old, same
- 30:56Speaker 1: old with these SMU receivers. Ymir Knight, number one, I
- 31:00Speaker 1: think is like he's got the edge. But Yannick Smith,
- 31:02Speaker 1: Jalen Cooper are both on the field a ton. Randy
- 31:04Speaker 1: Pittman's obviously out there at tight end. Virginia has been
- 31:07Speaker 1: getting beat by big wide receivers on the outside. So
- 31:10Speaker 1: that is a little bit of an advantage to Yannick
- 31:12Speaker 1: and Cooper. And they've also gotten beat by tight ends
- 31:15Speaker 1: a couple of times, which is Pittman. Now, it's not
- 31:16Speaker 1: to say Knight's a bad play, but I feel like
- 31:21Speaker 1: I want a piece of this SMU wide receiver room
- 31:23Speaker 1: kenny but i just don't know where to where.
- 31:25Speaker 5: To target yeah and i mean you're right where it
- 31:29Speaker 5: is the same old same old not maybe quite to
- 31:32Speaker 5: the extent it used to be but it does does
- 31:34Speaker 5: feel like that um you know yannick smith has been
- 31:38Speaker 5: chalk a lot this year i wasn't super high on
- 31:41Speaker 5: him coming into the year so it's taking a little
- 31:44Speaker 5: time for me to adjust but he's been a frustrating
- 31:47Speaker 5: chalk receiver from a gpp player's perspective because he's gotten
- 31:51Speaker 5: there on like a long touchdown or something, but I
- 31:54Speaker 5: think this week I'm in on it. Like I'm, it's
- 31:56Speaker 5: not anything I'm going to go overboard with, but it's
- 31:59Speaker 5: a lot of things are lining up for him. He's
- 32:00Speaker 5: playing the most snaps on his team. He's getting a
- 32:04Speaker 5: fair amount of targets. That being said, he could go
- 32:06Speaker 5: for 30 and bus, but he's cheap enough to where
- 32:09Speaker 5: it's worth taking that risk, even in a large field
- 32:12Speaker 5: type situation. That being said, I really like him your
- 32:15Speaker 5: night as well. He's a great like pivot Cooper.
- 32:18Speaker 2: I think it's fine.
- 32:19Speaker 5: Randy Pittman, as bad as I want that to work out,
- 32:22Speaker 5: I don't know if I'm going to get there this week.
- 32:24Speaker 5: So we dropped that down. You guys might want to
- 32:25Speaker 5: include him since I'm not playing Pittman finally. You know,
- 32:30Speaker 5: if Rhodes wasn't back, I'd be a little more intrigued
- 32:33Speaker 5: by McFall. But I, yeah, I think my favorite play
- 32:38Speaker 5: from SMU is Kendrick Raphael. Like I, he scored a
- 32:42Speaker 5: touchdown in like four straight games. He has multiple touchdown upside.
- 32:46Speaker 5: I think that Raphael is kind of where I want
- 32:48Speaker 5: to start with SMU. I'm not opposed to having Raphael
- 32:52Speaker 5: and Smith in the same mat without Jennings. Yeah, without Jennings.
- 32:57Speaker 5: And then Jennings, I think I'm going to force a
- 32:59Speaker 5: double stack with him. He's a little pricey compared to
- 33:01Speaker 5: the quarterbacks. I really don't feel comfortable playing him. But
- 33:04Speaker 5: the way he's going to make you pay at $ 8, 200
- 33:05Speaker 5: is if he brings a couple of these cheap.
- 33:07Speaker 2: Guys with him. So that's how I'm going to attack
- 33:10Speaker 2: that side. Virginia.
- 33:12Speaker 5: Gosh, that first game this year, you would have thought
- 33:15Speaker 5: Bo Pribula was going to be just like a Michael
- 33:17Speaker 5: Hawkins-type fantasy player, and boy, that fell off quick. Still
- 33:22Speaker 5: have some interest in 6K. SMU's not that past form
- 33:25Speaker 5: of what they used to be. They've definitely been gouges
- 33:27Speaker 5: in the run game. So I don't mind Pribula. Ja'Kai
- 33:32Speaker 5: Middlebrook's just too expensive for me, and Virginia can get
- 33:35Speaker 5: goofy with their running back rotations. I'm fine risking... Sha'Kai
- 33:39Speaker 5: Middlebrook's 20 touches that he's not going to have a
- 33:41Speaker 5: usable fantasy score. Receiver's not really interested in. Maybe Deshaun Martin.
- 33:47Speaker 5: He's kind of been ho-hum like all year. I don't
- 33:49Speaker 5: know if there's a ceiling there. But, I mean, if
- 33:52Speaker 5: he really wanted an option, he's there. I don't even
- 33:55Speaker 5: know if I'm going to play it in a 150 set.
- 33:56Speaker 5: But love the SMU side. Virginia, not super enthused about.
- 34:04Speaker 3: You said it right there, Ant. Kenny, I was really
- 34:07Speaker 3: ready to say my favorite play in this game. One
- 34:08Speaker 3: of my favorite plays of this latest Kendrick Raphael six,
- 34:11Speaker 3: one super four ball running back.
- 34:13Speaker 4: You know, he's going to get the volume.
- 34:15Speaker 3: Everyone behind him is pretty much banged up, doubled, you know,
- 34:19Speaker 3: close to a 10 point favor with a 30 point
- 34:20Speaker 3: team total. I mean, everything screams great play there on paper.
- 34:24Speaker 3: And that's what he's going to done. Obviously if we
- 34:26Speaker 3: both like him that much, but that's how the game goes. Um,
- 34:32Speaker 3: Yannick Smith was that guy. What was he on all
- 34:34Speaker 3: those Thursday American slays when the ECU was on the slate?
- 34:37Speaker 3: He was always like the third guy that was got
- 34:38Speaker 3: the big play. Also SMU receivers. We've been doing this
- 34:44Speaker 3: how long together? I think we've been talking about SMU
- 34:45Speaker 3: receivers for that long for four or five years or so.
- 34:49Speaker 3: The only thing with Pribula, he was definitely banged up
- 34:53Speaker 3: a few weeks ago.
- 34:54Speaker 4: He ran a lot more last week getting back to
- 34:57Speaker 4: his old self.
- 34:57Speaker 3: So if he could run, he's a much different player
- 34:59Speaker 3: than when he can't run because he's not a very
- 35:01Speaker 3: good pocket passer. They're so banged up. Martin just by
- 35:05Speaker 3: default volume, maybe, as a one-off play if you got it.
- 35:08Speaker 3: But at 5K, he's not even like a value play.
- 35:11Speaker 3: I'd much rather have Ymir Knight on the other side.
- 35:15Speaker 4: But I do love Rafael on the spot. Likely going
- 35:19Speaker 4: to find his way and hit a lot of my lines.
- 35:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:23Speaker 1: And on top of that, with all of the injuries
- 35:26Speaker 1: and value we have across the slate, Raphael might be
- 35:28Speaker 1: getting overlooked because there's going to be some Harvey ones
- 35:30Speaker 1: that are cheaper than him on the slate. And I mean,
- 35:33Speaker 1: decent matchups as well. So maybe that keeps his ownership
- 35:36Speaker 1: a little bit lower than it normally would. I think
- 35:39Speaker 1: I think I still garnered some ownership, just maybe not
- 35:41Speaker 1: as much. All right. Thirty five minutes down. We're actually
- 35:44Speaker 1: a little bit behind our normal pace, which is fine.
- 35:46Speaker 1: It's been a fun discussion. We talked about CFP, but
- 35:48Speaker 1: there's going to be some games we don't need to
- 35:50Speaker 1: talk nearly as much about. I honestly think this is
- 35:52Speaker 1: one of them for as good of a college football
- 35:54Speaker 1: game as this is setting up to be for DFS purposes.
- 35:58Speaker 1: It's a, it feels clear like Julian saying is cheaper
- 36:01Speaker 1: than he's been. And Indiana can get beat by the pass.
- 36:07Speaker 1: So I think maybe you actually look at him this week.
- 36:09Speaker 1: It's not as expensive to get him and Jeremiah Smith together.
- 36:12Speaker 1: Usually they're both nine K now Jeremiah Smith being nine seven.
- 36:16Speaker 1: It still gets pretty close to that, but with the
- 36:18Speaker 1: way this slate lays out, I don't think it's impossible
- 36:22Speaker 1: to get to. Bo Jackson, I don't know that I
- 36:24Speaker 1: love the matchup. Even with Jacoby Jackson out, any 7,500,
- 36:28Speaker 1: which is, I mean, you're going to get a low
- 36:30Speaker 1: on Bo in all likelihood. Again, just a situation where
- 36:36Speaker 1: on a more normally priced slate that we've seen this season,
- 36:38Speaker 1: he'd probably garner more ownership. But it's really Smith is
- 36:42Speaker 1: the guy, maybe you stack him with saying, if you
- 36:44Speaker 1: can get the rest of your lineup to work. And
- 36:47Speaker 1: I don't mind taking a shot on Bo if he's
- 36:49Speaker 1: going to be sub 5%. And then on the Indiana side,
- 36:53Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Hoover is cheap, tough matchup. I don't
- 36:58Speaker 1: love this pricing and timeshare of Richard and BB against
- 37:02Speaker 1: Ohio State. You know, would I be surprised if one
- 37:05Speaker 1: of them pops and has a flame next to their
- 37:07Speaker 1: name at the end of the day? No, but I'm not,
- 37:10Speaker 1: I'm personally not going to play it that way. And
- 37:12Speaker 1: then I think these Becker and Marsh, I think are
- 37:14Speaker 1: playable regardless. You're going to get them way lower owned
- 37:17Speaker 1: than you would expect. on a on any given slate
- 37:20Speaker 1: uh ian i mean is it really just smith for
- 37:22Speaker 1: cash and then everybody else is is if you're playing
- 37:26Speaker 1: gpp is there anything else you even consider for cash in.
- 37:29Speaker 3: This game nothing more than what you said smith for
- 37:33Speaker 3: sure i don't it's just so hard to overlook at
- 37:35Speaker 3: this point you mentioned bow maybe his cash i don't
- 37:37Speaker 3: mind it either if you got 75 i don't care
- 37:39Speaker 3: if you know i don't mind playing them both together
- 37:41Speaker 3: um and then if you're trying to like pivot off
- 37:46Speaker 3: of Smith looking at Marsha Becker is, is fine.
- 37:49Speaker 4: They're, they're, they're good, but it's a great game.
- 37:53Speaker 3: Fun.
- 37:53Speaker 4: Watch Smith and move on for me.
- 37:57Speaker 5: Yeah. I, um, honestly, all I want to do right
- 38:00Speaker 5: now is just complain about how lucky Indiana got last week.
- 38:03Speaker 5: I'll try to, I mean, gosh, um, I guess the
- 38:07Speaker 5: Ohio state side, I actually kind of have some intrigue
- 38:10Speaker 5: with saying this week, like I, we've seen him get
- 38:13Speaker 5: over 30 points.
- 38:14Speaker 2: Like, and like just throwing the ball.
- 38:17Speaker 5: I don't know if it's fully here this week, but
- 38:20Speaker 5: I don't mind that no ownership and cheap as he's
- 38:23Speaker 5: been strictly pairing with Jeremiah Smith. Um, Bo Jackson thought
- 38:29Speaker 5: it was like, Oh, Jackson or Jacoby's out.
- 38:32Speaker 2: Bo Jackson.
- 38:32Speaker 5: Maybe I'm not interested. This Indiana run defense is no joke.
- 38:36Speaker 5: Like I, um, I was really big on Jamal rule
- 38:39Speaker 5: last week and he got enough volume to get there,
- 38:41Speaker 5: but it was just super inefficient. I will say not
- 38:43Speaker 5: to get completely off topic, but If you saw Jamal
- 38:46Speaker 5: Rule run for that Indiana defender last week, that was
- 38:48Speaker 5: pretty sweet. That was the one highlight we had. But, yeah, Indiana,
- 38:53Speaker 5: I mean, I have interest in the two big receivers.
- 38:55Speaker 5: Last week I really liked Nick Marsh just because I
- 38:58Speaker 5: thought that was a type of receiver that could beat Nebraska,
- 39:01Speaker 5: and that is one thing I got right, unfortunately, to
- 39:06Speaker 5: my dismay. But, yeah, not a ton of interest stacking this.
- 39:09Speaker 5: It's just like Jeremiah Smith really is all that I'm
- 39:12Speaker 5: going to be having a large portion of.
- 39:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 39:16Speaker 1: Good real life football game for sure. And blossoming into
- 39:22Speaker 1: a rivalry. Who'd have thought that with Ohio state, Indiana
- 39:25Speaker 1: five years ago, speaking of rivalry, oldest rivalry in the
- 39:28Speaker 1: deep South. Auburn and Georgia, a little more one-sided than
- 39:33Speaker 1: some of these matchups have been in the past. I
- 39:35Speaker 1: don't really have much to say about Auburn. Like, Byron
- 39:37Speaker 1: Brown's cheap, but we've already talked about quarterbacks that are
- 39:40Speaker 1: in better spots for less. You'll get him at virtually
- 39:43Speaker 1: no ownership, but if I sat here on this show
- 39:46Speaker 1: and recommended playing Byron Brown... in UCF or USF at Georgia,
- 39:53Speaker 1: we might not have a show anymore. But if anybody
- 39:57Speaker 1: on this Auburn side, it's probably him. I don't really
- 39:59Speaker 1: like anything else. On the Georgia side, Gunnar Stockton, 7,200.
- 40:05Speaker 1: I mean, again, it's a broken record with the pricing
- 40:08Speaker 1: on this slate. I don't know if we need to
- 40:11Speaker 1: pair him, though, with a wide receiver because we just
- 40:13Speaker 1: don't know who it's going to be. Craig Dandridge at 3,100
- 40:15Speaker 1: had six targets last week, and he's, I think, maybe
- 40:18Speaker 1: coming around he's gotten some decent usage in a couple
- 40:21Speaker 1: of games this year. And just one of those young
- 40:24Speaker 1: guys that's blossoming, if he can find his stride early
- 40:27Speaker 1: and keep consistency, this might be the lowest he's ever
- 40:30Speaker 1: priced again on any college football slate. But with Georgia,
- 40:33Speaker 1: you just never know. The talker of this game is
- 40:34Speaker 1: what's going on in this running back room. Nate Frazier
- 40:37Speaker 1: last week, not on the report. I'm in a lot
- 40:40Speaker 1: of lineups and just didn't play. Everybody thought he was
- 40:43Speaker 1: going to be back. Uh, same thing this week, not
- 40:46Speaker 1: on the report. Everybody thinks he's going to be back.
- 40:47Speaker 1: I am seeing a lot of news, like actual sources
- 40:50Speaker 1: that say he's going to be back this week. I
- 40:51Speaker 1: don't remember exactly what the coverage was a week ago,
- 40:56Speaker 1: but it's going to be like, are people going to
- 41:00Speaker 1: be gun shy? Like Dwight Phillips at 4,900 amazing spot.
- 41:04Speaker 1: If Frazier doesn't go, if Frazier does, we just don't know. Um,
- 41:09Speaker 1: we'll start with you, Kenny. Like, how do you, how
- 41:11Speaker 1: do you touch this running back room for Georgia and, uh,
- 41:14Speaker 1: like anything else in this game that you like?
- 41:17Speaker 2: Um, I guess I'll start with Auburn.
- 41:19Speaker 3: No.
- 41:19Speaker 5: And then Georgia, I, um, Auburn has the worst defense
- 41:25Speaker 5: on the slate as far as like grades go. I'm
- 41:29Speaker 5: super interested in Stockton 7,200. I almost kind of hope
- 41:33Speaker 5: Nate Frazier is supposed to be active because Dwight Phillips
- 41:35Speaker 5: has been pretty good and he's done it through the air.
- 41:38Speaker 5: He's done it on the ground. I think his price
- 41:41Speaker 5: is still fine for this game environment. Um, I don't know,
- 41:45Speaker 5: you know, Frazier does play. How much does that cap
- 41:47Speaker 5: a ceiling? But gosh, I just like, why would you
- 41:50Speaker 5: not play Nate Frazier last week and then play him
- 41:52Speaker 5: this week?
- 41:53Speaker 2: I don't, I don't know.
- 41:54Speaker 5: I still kind of, it's almost, I remember a couple
- 41:57Speaker 5: of years ago or might even been last year, like
- 42:00Speaker 5: Carnell Tate had like something similar happened. Like he wasn't
- 42:03Speaker 5: even on the report and then didn't play or something
- 42:05Speaker 5: like that.
- 42:06Speaker 1: I remember.
- 42:07Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
- 42:09Speaker 5: So I don't, I don't know if some of that,
- 42:11Speaker 5: stuff's going on. That being said, I'm almost going to
- 42:14Speaker 5: play it as if Nate Frazier is not going.
- 42:15Speaker 2: To play.
- 42:18Speaker 5: And just roll out Dwight Phillips, not worry about Bo Walker.
- 42:22Speaker 5: And then, yeah, as far as pairing Stockton, dangerous was
- 42:26Speaker 5: only one just because he's 3,100. But I just, I
- 42:29Speaker 5: don't see a big ceiling out of either of these guys.
- 42:32Speaker 5: Like if dangerous gets 18 points, like that's totally like
- 42:36Speaker 5: reasonable and, Like I could work for a GPP at 3,100,
- 42:40Speaker 5: but these other guys I'm not interested in.
- 42:46Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 42:46Speaker 4: Dangerous.
- 42:46Speaker 3: I think just because of the close them in price,
- 42:50Speaker 3: you know, a couple of catches and he hits value
- 42:52Speaker 3: for you and it lets you just open up your
- 42:53Speaker 3: lineup so much more. Some of those skill guys, a
- 42:56Speaker 3: little bit creative. I'm, I'm just going to avoid the
- 42:59Speaker 3: running back room. I don't know what to think. Maybe
- 43:02Speaker 3: last week was a pseudo suspension.
- 43:04Speaker 4: I mean, who knows?
- 43:06Speaker 3: Auburn, no, like you said. Stockton, I think, is a
- 43:11Speaker 3: good play for GPP. I'm not going to really look
- 43:13Speaker 3: at him. Comparatively, I think he's got a solid floor.
- 43:18Speaker 3: I don't quite know what his ceiling is. For the
- 43:22Speaker 3: number one team in the country, do we still know
- 43:24Speaker 3: what Georgia is offensively?
- 43:25Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 43:28Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 43:29Speaker 1: No, that's tough. It's tough to pinpoint, like you said,
- 43:32Speaker 1: the running back room. The one thing about Gunnar Stockton
- 43:35Speaker 1: is I think his raw point ceiling is higher than
- 43:38Speaker 1: some of these 5k guys and you can get to him,
- 43:41Speaker 1: but people aren't going to just because of the pricing.
- 43:46Speaker 1: And it, it does feel like a GPP play to
- 43:50Speaker 1: me as well, but with the cash trains in cash
- 43:54Speaker 1: contests this year and so many dupe lineups, making a
- 43:58Speaker 1: pivot or two off of what you would consider your
- 44:00Speaker 1: lock cash lineup isn't the worst idea in the world.
- 44:04Speaker 1: Look for guys that have similar raw point ceilings or
- 44:07Speaker 1: better raw point ceilings. Um, and, and this week is
- 44:11Speaker 1: the week to do it because you can, you can
- 44:13Speaker 1: get different without having to shift too much budget around.
- 44:19Speaker 1: All right. Well, I think we can wrap up with this.
- 44:22Speaker 1: We've got a couple of questions we'll wrap up with
- 44:24Speaker 1: at the end of the show. Um, but we'll get,
- 44:27Speaker 1: we'll get to some of those specific questions, uh, once
- 44:30Speaker 1: we're through everybody. Missouri at Ole Miss, nothing to talk
- 44:35Speaker 1: about in this game, right? No storylines. Just Austin Simmons
- 44:41Speaker 1: going against his former team and the guy who took
- 44:43Speaker 1: his job, Trinidad Chambliss, out to show that he was
- 44:47Speaker 1: the right choice, which I think from my perspective, he was.
- 44:52Speaker 1: It is the highest total on the slate. Jamal Roberts
- 44:54Speaker 1: just running over everybody. He could be in Nate Shepard
- 44:58Speaker 1: Price territory, and I'd still look at him just based
- 45:00Speaker 1: on how much they're running the ball. Caden Lee's probable now,
- 45:04Speaker 1: and that means it's probably just going to be Simmons, Roberts, Lee,
- 45:08Speaker 1: Aloubide on the Missouri side. Ole Miss' defense is still
- 45:12Speaker 1: not great. I mean, Florida put up, what, 50-some points
- 45:15Speaker 1: on them. And then on the Ole Miss side, Trinidad
- 45:18Speaker 1: Chambliss at 8,700. That doesn't scare.
- 45:20Speaker 4: Me at all. All right, all right, all right, all right.
- 45:22Speaker 1: Kiwan Lacy was back last week, and had they not
- 45:27Speaker 1: just steamrolled Vanderbilt, may have gotten even more work than
- 45:30Speaker 1: he did. I would imagine he's back to a full
- 45:33Speaker 1: workload this week, even with a tough matchup. I think
- 45:35Speaker 1: Lacey's considerable. And then Deuce, clear alpha, a bit expensive.
- 45:41Speaker 1: You can find ways to get there this week if
- 45:43Speaker 1: you want to. And then, I mean, Jontae Cook's been starting,
- 45:49Speaker 1: but that's about all you can say about him. After Alexander,
- 45:52Speaker 1: it's really just Odom. Maybe you get to... No, I'll
- 45:56Speaker 1: let you guys expand if you have anything beyond Alexander
- 45:58Speaker 1: and Odom, but Ian.
- 46:00Speaker 1: There's definitely some plays in this one. I think in
- 46:03Speaker 1: all formats, cash included.
- 46:04Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 46:05Speaker 3: I mean, Roberts has just been probably the best running
- 46:09Speaker 3: back the last few weeks. Multiple 200-yard games, touchdowns, just
- 46:12Speaker 3: volume like crazy. And he might be getting some relief
- 46:16Speaker 3: with Ahmed Hardy coming back from his incident. But it's
- 46:22Speaker 3: so hard to ignore what Missouri's offense has been doing.
- 46:25Speaker 3: And Ole Miss defense hasn't been that impressive in these
- 46:29Speaker 3: big games. I think it's worked out for both quarterbacks.
- 46:32Speaker 3: Simmons getting his shot at Missouri, Chandler's obviously being at
- 46:36Speaker 3: Ole Miss, and Simmons just keep pricing them lower and
- 46:38Speaker 3: lower and lower. And we know where he's throwing the ball,
- 46:42Speaker 3: Lee and Lou today. So super enticing double stack there.
- 46:49Speaker 3: I mean, I would probably play it as Simmons with
- 46:51Speaker 3: both those guys or Roberts. put Chambliss and Deuce on
- 46:54Speaker 3: the other side, something like that. It gets really expensive
- 46:58Speaker 3: for this game. Obviously, there's other pieces out there that
- 47:00Speaker 3: can make this lineup work. I'm not dipping too deep
- 47:05Speaker 3: into the Ole Miss side unless it's Deuce or Odom.
- 47:08Speaker 4: I do think Lacey's interesting.
- 47:10Speaker 3: If you happen to get into that spot where you're
- 47:12Speaker 3: in that 7K range and you're looking at running backs,
- 47:16Speaker 3: you know, he's priced around the same price as, like,
- 47:18Speaker 3: Shaquille Middlebrook and some of these other guys, and Lacey
- 47:21Speaker 3: is– he was all American type guy and he's just
- 47:25Speaker 3: coming back off injury. They might try to ride on
- 47:27Speaker 3: a little bit more this week and wouldn't be surprised.
- 47:31Speaker 3: And this is kind of his bottom bottom out price
- 47:34Speaker 3: and ownership that we get for him for the rest
- 47:37Speaker 3: of the season.
- 47:38Speaker 4: So I wouldn't mind trying to get ahead of that
- 47:40Speaker 4: for one Lacey might pop off.
- 47:41Speaker 3: If you're not playing Chambliss or Deuce in the lineup,
- 47:44Speaker 3: he's certainly enticing as a run back himself.
- 47:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 47:49Speaker 5: Lacey I'm super like last week, I mean, they beat
- 47:53Speaker 5: Vanderbilt so bad. It was like Ole Miss was like
- 47:55Speaker 5: playing Troy or something like it was 35, three at half,
- 47:58Speaker 5: I think. So they didn't really need Lacey. He started
- 48:02Speaker 5: at seven carries was fine, whatever. So I tend to
- 48:07Speaker 5: lean that he'll have a bigger role here. So I'm
- 48:10Speaker 5: like really intrigued by the spot. And then I remember
- 48:12Speaker 5: how good Missouri's run defense has been. And it kind
- 48:15Speaker 5: of scares me a little bit. I mean, Bothell had
- 48:18Speaker 5: a good game, but it was a lot of, you know,
- 48:19Speaker 5: a lot of volume. He still wasn't overly efficient. That
- 48:23Speaker 5: being said, I'll probably still have some shares specifically in
- 48:26Speaker 5: Missouri stacks. Love Trinidad. Like, I think that I'm like,
- 48:31Speaker 5: I think I'm playing him over Levitt if I'm flipping,
- 48:34Speaker 5: you know, in that range. And then I don't think
- 48:38Speaker 5: like Deuce is just, he's so expensive. And then when
- 48:41Speaker 5: you stack him with Trinidad, it's even worse. Almost like
- 48:44Speaker 5: Deuce is just like a run back. Like, I don't
- 48:47Speaker 5: even– I'm not even going to force the Deuce and
- 48:49Speaker 5: Chambliss thing. Really, the only receiver that I want to
- 48:54Speaker 5: take a shot on is Odom, tight end that, like,
- 48:56Speaker 5: I know is out there. The rest of these guys,
- 48:58Speaker 5: it's just a jumbled mess. But, yeah, a lot of
- 49:02Speaker 5: interest Ole Miss side. Missouri side. So, I mean, how
- 49:06Speaker 5: many extra fantasy points are Simmons and Lee going to
- 49:09Speaker 5: score because it's a revenge game, right?
- 49:11Speaker 2: Is that factored in?
- 49:13Speaker 4: No.
- 49:13Speaker 5: I'm just kidding. But it is it is an interesting
- 49:16Speaker 5: spot I almost like I mean you guys touched on
- 49:19Speaker 5: everything like Jamal Roberts obviously they just keep giving him
- 49:21Speaker 5: the ball I think he's he's definitely my favorite like
- 49:24Speaker 5: pay up running back but Donovan Olagbude you say last
- 49:28Speaker 5: week I think he's been over 10 fantasy points every
- 49:31Speaker 5: game this season I think it's a nice bounce back
- 49:33Speaker 5: spot for him at like kind of a pivot over
- 49:36Speaker 5: everything that being said really like the Missouri side Simmons, like,
- 49:41Speaker 5: that was definitely, like, you know, the one you saw
- 49:43Speaker 5: this week that was sticker shock. But, like, do you
- 49:46Speaker 5: play– do you feel, like, in a cash lineup, like,
- 49:49Speaker 5: do you feel like you need to play Simmons with
- 49:51Speaker 5: Lee or Olubude? Like, I feel like you kind of
- 49:54Speaker 5: feel like you need to.
- 49:59Speaker 3: With him, I would with a guy, but he's also
- 50:02Speaker 3: the same price as Marshall. Marshall could do it more
- 50:04Speaker 3: with his legs. I wouldn't need to feel like I
- 50:05Speaker 3: need to stack. Chambliss, I wouldn't feel like I need
- 50:08Speaker 3: to stack. Simmons– I think I would. I think if
- 50:11Speaker 3: you're looking to play Lee or, uh, I think you
- 50:15Speaker 3: do try to want to match up with Simmons. Just
- 50:18Speaker 3: it's like you said, it it's, you know, that's where
- 50:22Speaker 3: he's throwing the ball and that's all he does. He's
- 50:24Speaker 3: going to sit back there and throw the ball. Yeah.
- 50:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 50:30Speaker 1: It's, I mean, if Simmons gets there, like Lee and
- 50:37Speaker 1: a little bit, they are going to get him there.
- 50:38Speaker 3: Right.
- 50:39Speaker 1: So you might as well pair one and go for
- 50:40Speaker 1: that full ceiling.
- 50:43Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 50:43Speaker 3: And you met a little bit is a really good
- 50:45Speaker 3: pivot this week because of the revenge factor, all focused
- 50:48Speaker 3: on Lee and Lee's been the guy and he's been
- 50:50Speaker 3: the guy and he's been the guy. Maybe this is
- 50:52Speaker 3: the week to do the little swivel and you save
- 50:54Speaker 3: 2k almost.
- 50:56Speaker 1: And like you said, Kenny, a little bit a with
- 50:57Speaker 1: the zero last week, he sucks now. Right. So.
- 51:00Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 51:02Speaker 1: No, I love the bounce back narrative almost as much
- 51:05Speaker 1: as I love the revenge narrative. So I could just
- 51:07Speaker 1: going to have to pick one in that game, I guess.
- 51:09Speaker 1: Moving on Alabama, Tennessee, another decently big rivalry. Keelan Russell
- 51:15Speaker 1: still has the upside at 8,500. The running back room,
- 51:19Speaker 1: I mean, like it feels like it's going to be
- 51:20Speaker 1: Treshawn Brown getting the work. It's still, still a bit
- 51:25Speaker 1: of a timeshare. And I personally think Crowell's the best
- 51:28Speaker 1: running back in the room. He's my favorite one to
- 51:30Speaker 1: watch anyway, because he breaks so many tackles and he's
- 51:33Speaker 1: just a hard runner. The biggest news of this game
- 51:35Speaker 1: though is, is Ryan Coleman Williams being out. That leaves
- 51:40Speaker 1: lots of your Brooks and Rico Scott. Rico Scott at 4,500,
- 51:43Speaker 1: kind of getting into that first click in territory with
- 51:47Speaker 1: his potential price per dollar. Brooks and Scott are the
- 51:50Speaker 1: two guys that have, like they were already getting the
- 51:53Speaker 1: attention with RCW on the field. It's just going to
- 51:56Speaker 1: be funneled even more, it feels like, without him. And
- 52:00Speaker 1: then on the Tennessee side, no phase on Brandon, it
- 52:02Speaker 1: sounds like. So George McIntyre getting the start. Our third $ 4, 600
- 52:06Speaker 1: quarterback on the slate. Again, not a week that you
- 52:10Speaker 1: need to get there, but semi-intriguing. And then Deshaun Bishop,
- 52:16Speaker 1: they might just lean on him with the quarterback situation
- 52:18Speaker 1: the way it is and an 8K. You question it,
- 52:22Speaker 1: get a little bit of pause, but for his workload,
- 52:25Speaker 1: I think you can still get there if you like.
- 52:29Speaker 1: If you like him enough, and then Mike Matthews, Braylon Staley,
- 52:32Speaker 1: really the two guys in this wide receiver room that, again,
- 52:35Speaker 1: just question marks with McIntyre in this game. We'll start
- 52:40Speaker 1: with you, Ian. What are you looking at in this game?
- 52:45Speaker 1: Rico Scott screams cash play to me, but I know
- 52:48Speaker 1: you've been high on Keelan Russell for a few weeks now.
- 52:50Speaker 1: I think you were early to that party. I'm actually
- 52:51Speaker 1: going to step out and let you guys discuss this game,
- 52:53Speaker 1: but we'll start with you, Ian.
- 52:55Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 52:55Speaker 4: I love Keelan Russell.
- 52:56Speaker 3: The thing that, you know, as he's ascended his play,
- 53:00Speaker 3: his running, his dual threat has, has gotten a little bit, his,
- 53:03Speaker 3: his planned running, I should say, has gotten a little
- 53:05Speaker 3: bit down. He's the guy that was rushing, pushing a
- 53:07Speaker 3: hundred yards early in the season, but now he's starting
- 53:09Speaker 3: to figure out his passing game a little bit.
- 53:11Speaker 4: And he's been fantastic.
- 53:13Speaker 3: You know, if they win that game last week, if
- 53:15Speaker 3: some bounces go their way, he's probably the second favorite
- 53:18Speaker 3: for the Heisman right now. And they're sitting atop the rankings.
- 53:22Speaker 3: I'm still thinking this is, you know, a, it's not
- 53:25Speaker 3: a great spot for him. Just Tennessee plays on defense
- 53:29Speaker 3: and they slow the game down. We've seen them in
- 53:30Speaker 3: their bigger games, just find a way to slow the
- 53:32Speaker 3: game down, especially without phase on Brandon. I expect Tennessee
- 53:36Speaker 3: to try to do that same play again. I expect
- 53:38Speaker 3: this to be a little bit more kind of like
- 53:40Speaker 3: last week with the Alabama Georgia game where it's kind
- 53:44Speaker 3: of 2017 and the mid twenties on both sides, not
- 53:46Speaker 3: really hit touching the 50 point total that it is.
- 53:50Speaker 3: Like Bill said, Bishop's the only guy on the Tennessee
- 53:52Speaker 3: side I could really think of, but at 8K, just
- 53:54Speaker 3: priced up way too much for a touchdown-plus underdog. And
- 53:58Speaker 3: he said, Rico Scott, let's hear Brooks. If you want
- 54:01Speaker 3: to pay down for the savings and if you end
- 54:02Speaker 3: up having money later, pay up for Brooks. I love
- 54:05Speaker 3: both those guys. With Ryan Coleman-Williams out, Keelan's going to
- 54:10Speaker 3: step back. He's going to pass the ball off and
- 54:11Speaker 3: it's going to run through him. Brooks and Scott are
- 54:14Speaker 3: guys that are on the field, on the field the
- 54:16Speaker 3: entire game. He's super talented guys. Really love both those spots.
- 54:21Speaker 3: I would rank Scott ahead of Brooks in the cash
- 54:23Speaker 3: line just because of the salary savings. But if you
- 54:25Speaker 3: happen to find your way, I think that could be
- 54:27Speaker 3: a pretty nice pivot little switch, playing Brooks ahead of Scott.
- 54:32Speaker 3: I have a feeling Scott might be a little bit
- 54:33Speaker 3: higher owned just because of his salary. But it could
- 54:37Speaker 3: be interesting. I would totally agree with Bill that EJ
- 54:40Speaker 3: Grohl is the best running back. I think he'll take
- 54:43Speaker 3: over by the end of the year. It's still a
- 54:46Speaker 3: little bit too muddled right now to play it. I
- 54:50Speaker 3: love Keelan Russell. I don't think he's playable right now.
- 54:52Speaker 3: I don't think this is the environment. I do kind
- 54:55Speaker 3: of see this as a slogger game, but I do
- 54:57Speaker 3: like the receivers in that room, and that's kind of
- 54:59Speaker 3: all I'm touching here.
- 55:02Speaker 5: Yeah, I tend to agree that this definitely isn't a
- 55:05Speaker 5: very appetizing game compared to what else we have on
- 55:08Speaker 5: the slate. I thought about McIntyre at 4,600. That's awfully cheap. like,
- 55:15Speaker 5: especially it's like, do you play George McIntyre or like
- 55:19Speaker 5: Quentin Joyner? Just like looking on the screen here, I'd
- 55:21Speaker 5: like your George McIntyre and Rico Scott.
- 55:23Speaker 2: Like, I don't know.
- 55:24Speaker 5: It's kind of hard. Like when you put it like that, it's,
- 55:26Speaker 5: it's something to think about that being said, I'm not
- 55:28Speaker 5: going to get there. They saw Bishop. I, I'm, I'm
- 55:32Speaker 5: going to play some of him. I don't like the matchup,
- 55:36Speaker 5: but I just, I think that if Tennessee is going
- 55:39Speaker 5: to keep this game close, it's going to be because
- 55:41Speaker 5: I control the ball and really lean on Deshaun Bishop. Um,
- 55:45Speaker 5: So that's kind of the type of lineup that I
- 55:47Speaker 5: play him in. Not anything else on the Tennessee side.
- 55:52Speaker 5: Alabama side, I mean, I like a Russell and the
- 55:56Speaker 5: receivers like you guys talked about. One thing, Rico Scott
- 55:59Speaker 5: and RCW were dominating the snaps, and then Brooks was third.
- 56:03Speaker 5: He was definitely like when they go run 11 personnel,
- 56:06Speaker 5: he's the guy coming in. So I don't know if
- 56:08Speaker 5: he's going to be– I'd assume that like 12 personnel,
- 56:11Speaker 5: he's going to be in there. but it wouldn't shock
- 56:13Speaker 5: me if like maybe a Meadows or Rogers got like
- 56:17Speaker 5: more snaps than him. So that's kind of why, like,
- 56:20Speaker 5: I do like prefer Rico Scott just cause I know
- 56:22Speaker 5: he's out there all the time. Obviously I don't think
- 56:25Speaker 5: he's as talented as RCW, but I think he's, he's
- 56:28Speaker 5: just fine. So yeah, not a lot on this game.
- 56:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 56:33Speaker 1: I mean, potentially it'll be another good real life game.
- 56:34Speaker 1: A lot's going to rest on George McIntyre and what
- 56:36Speaker 1: he can do with this offense. I think Alabama's offense
- 56:39Speaker 1: is going to be fine. They definitely take a hit,
- 56:40Speaker 1: but they can manage. Arizona State at Texas Tech, definitely
- 56:45Speaker 1: some talking points in this game. Cutter Boley, I mean,
- 56:49Speaker 1: fine at 6'7. But, like, the thing, like, I imagine
- 56:53Speaker 1: he'll be throwing a lot in this game. And even
- 56:56Speaker 1: Colorado almost threw for 300 yards. So the potential's there.
- 57:00Speaker 1: Part of that reason is because you just throw the
- 57:02Speaker 1: ball to Reed Harrison and Marion Miller, and you're set. Like,
- 57:05Speaker 1: that's what they've been doing all season. I imagine they're
- 57:07Speaker 1: going to continue doing that in this game. So at
- 57:10Speaker 1: least in the passing game, we know where the usage is.
- 57:13Speaker 1: Last last week, though, Cardi Mack, a four star freshman
- 57:16Speaker 1: and converted quarterback, got run in the running back room
- 57:19Speaker 1: and exploded. Kyson Brown only has 12 carries over the
- 57:22Speaker 1: last two games. So it seems like there's a shift
- 57:25Speaker 1: in that running back room. He's sub five K. I
- 57:28Speaker 1: just I mean, the matchup is something you definitely have
- 57:30Speaker 1: to consider on a normal again on a different slate.
- 57:34Speaker 1: Maybe you go there, but you definitely have to think
- 57:37Speaker 1: about what is it worth against Texas Tech, a team
- 57:40Speaker 1: that I think I'd rather throw on than run on.
- 57:43Speaker 1: And then Will Hammond is cheap as well. He's going
- 57:46Speaker 1: to pop just because of the team total, because of
- 57:49Speaker 1: the advantage that Texas Tech has. Thomas Castellanos' eligibility is
- 57:54Speaker 1: still up in the air. So we think we're going
- 57:56Speaker 1: to get full Hammonds. The biggest news is Cameron Dickey
- 57:59Speaker 1: being out. So we're going to get a lot of
- 58:00Speaker 1: Jacoby Williams at 6,700 as well. He's kind of getting
- 58:04Speaker 1: into that first click in territory for running backs too.
- 58:09Speaker 1: And I think Williams is going to get his pass.
- 58:13Speaker 1: But the other question is, is Quinton Joyner going to
- 58:16Speaker 1: get the Cameron Dickey role right away? Is he going
- 58:18Speaker 1: to fill that slot? That's not something we can necessarily answer.
- 58:22Speaker 1: If you do play him, just don't get him confused
- 58:24Speaker 1: for his brother, Quintalen Joyner, who also plays for Texas Tech.
- 58:28Speaker 1: And then in the wide receiver room, Kenny Johnson had
- 58:30Speaker 1: a down game against Colorado. Coy Eakin had a down
- 58:32Speaker 1: game as well. A big part of that is because
- 58:34Speaker 1: Terrence Carter was back and had eight catches on nine targets.
- 58:36Speaker 1: So the one thing about Kenny Johnson is that he
- 58:40Speaker 1: still had the target share, Coy Eakins' target share fell off.
- 58:44Speaker 1: The wide receiver room, I do like Terrence Carter, Kenny
- 58:47Speaker 1: Johnson some as well. Maybe the $ 400 makes a difference. Kenny,
- 58:52Speaker 1: how are you approaching Arizona State, Texas Tech? I think
- 58:55Speaker 1: obviously there's some cash plays, but how are you looking
- 58:56Speaker 1: at it for GPPs?
- 58:59Speaker 5: I guess I'll start here with Jacoby Williams is probably
- 59:03Speaker 5: my favorite play on the slate. I'm going to be
- 59:05Speaker 5: obscenely overweight on him. I think he's in his own
- 59:08Speaker 5: tier as far as running back plays go this week.
- 59:10Speaker 5: As many good running back plays as there is, Jacoby
- 59:13Speaker 5: Williams to me just feels like an awesome spot. We've
- 59:17Speaker 5: seen Texas Tech really focus on the run game when
- 59:22Speaker 5: they're ahead in the game.
- 59:23Speaker 2: By quite a bit.
- 59:25Speaker 5: I think Texas Tech blew out Arizona State. I don't
- 59:27Speaker 5: think Arizona State's very good. I love Jacoby. I also
- 59:33Speaker 5: really like Quinton Joyner. I think that this is a good,
- 59:35Speaker 5: like 4,600, he's a super fair price. I don't think
- 59:38Speaker 5: it's a crazy ZPP play to play them both and
- 59:41Speaker 5: just hope, like, it wouldn't shock me if Jacoby Williams
- 59:44Speaker 5: and Quinton Joyner combined for 50 fantasy points. And where
- 59:48Speaker 5: their prices are, that's totally fine. So going to have
- 59:52Speaker 5: my fair share of Joyner.
- 59:53Speaker 2: Hammond.
- 59:55Speaker 5: Obviously the price tags there. I just don't, he's just
- 59:59Speaker 5: not that runner.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: He used to be that, that, you know, kind of
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: wild man back there.
- 1:00:03Speaker 5: That being said, I'll have some shares of mine, like
- 1:00:07Speaker 5: a Texas tech onslaught, just because the wide receivers are
- 1:00:10Speaker 5: so cheap. I'm not going to go beyond those top
- 1:00:12Speaker 5: two guys and Kenny Johnson and Terrence Carter, but yeah,
- 1:00:16Speaker 5: I love the Texas tech side, Arizona state. Reed Harris
- 1:00:19Speaker 5: is the only guy I'm going to play as a
- 1:00:21Speaker 5: run back with these Texas tech guys. He's obviously got
- 1:00:24Speaker 5: a big price tag, but it should come with super
- 1:00:26Speaker 5: low ownership. Yeah, that's really pretty much it. Like, man,
- 1:00:32Speaker 5: Jacoby Williams, 6,700 is just a smash.
- 1:00:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's a cash play right there. You know,
- 1:00:39Speaker 4: you said it. Not much else. I'd be a little
- 1:00:42Speaker 4: bit weird about anybody else in this game.
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: There's Hammond. It's kind of just not great. You know,
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: Kenny Johnson is fine. You know, he's pretty good salary relief,
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: him and Terrence Carter. but Jacoby's probably enough. And then
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: the other side, like you said, great plays, just too expensive.
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: You know, that's GPP only to me besides Jacoby.
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: Yeah. Yep.
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: It's for cash. It's pretty straightforward in my opinion as well.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: North Carolina, Duke, big rivalry game on the hardwood, Billy Edwards, cheap,
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: not my, like his floor is safe at 5,000. I think,
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: I think you can consider him if you need to
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: go down that far. The running game, just too much
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: of a timeshare. Ben Hall does seem to be the
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: number one, but we're going to see these other guys
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: as well. So I'm not touching that. Wide receiver room,
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for Jordan Shipp. He needs a touchdown.
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: He's got to get a touchdown one of these weeks.
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: I imagine he would probably be 6,500 if he scored
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: a touchdown this year. But he's projecting super well. Jelani Thurman.
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: is projecting pretty well as well. It's really those two guys.
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: I mean, Tretch has seen a little bit of an uptick.
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: Sadler and Easter are capable of a spike game, but man,
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: it feels like every week we get the, is Jordan
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: ship even out there at some point during, during a
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: slate that North Carolina is on. So it'd be nice
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: to see him actually, actually find the end zone a
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: week that I'm probably, probably going to play him again.
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: On the other side, Duke, like why play Walker? You
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: get whenever it is $ 200 cheaper. I will say they
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: threw the ball a ton. last week or last time out.
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: And so I think there is a path if Duke
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: does fall behind. And if that's the case, I mean,
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: Haseley had 10 targets. Jared Richardson got the score and
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: a decent target share. Even Burton got plenty in the
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: passing game. Not usually a passing game we're interested in,
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: but if you think North Carolina is going to get
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: out to an early lead, maybe we see more. Nate Shepard,
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: I said earlier this season, even if he's 10K, I'm
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: playing him. Here we are. $ 10, 000 running back, well warranted.
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: He is questionable on the report, though. And UNC gave
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: up more than five yards of carry to Clemson and
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Haven't faced a ton of prolific running backs
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: outside of that. Just is he questionable because of his
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: workload so far this year? Does that mean even if
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: he goes, they're going to pull on the reins a
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: little bit? These are questions that you're going to have
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: to answer throughout your own process if you want to
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: play him. If he doesn't go, C.J. Campbell is a
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: viable backup. I mean, he was a solid G6 running back.
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: He's been, I want to say he's averaging like four
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: and a half to five yards of carry when he
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: does play this year. And Shepard's success is a lot
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: of Shepard, but his offensive line has to play a part.
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: So yeah, Ian, start with you in this North Carolina
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: Duke game, a lower total than we're seeing across the slate.
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: But I think with pricing, there's still some spots you
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: could potentially get to.
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:03:40Speaker 4: You know, ship ship is reliable, especially in the cash line.
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: He's pretty cheap. He's pretty, he's just gets targets. You know,
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: he's been that way for a few years and it
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: hasn't changed this year. And maybe touchdown variance is on
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: your side because if he gets one, he's a smash play.
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: So I do like that. It's just a hard game
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: to kind of play. Billy Edwards at 5K in a
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: different slate would stand out. I just think, you know,
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: it's just, I don't really need it right now, you know?
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: And yeah, I think Shepard's a big question mark because
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: if Shepard's in, how could you not? It's kind of
- 1:04:15Speaker 3: a coin flip between him and Jeremiah, right? if he's
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: out certainly opens up for Campbell again, but Campbell's not
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: like in that 4k range where I'd want to be
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: like an auto plug and play because there's enough guys
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: in the 6k range that I can still debate with
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: and say like this guy or Campbell, like, like we said,
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: Raphael or Campbell, they're not that far off in salary.
- 1:04:37Speaker 4: Jacoby Williams is only one K more than Campbell.
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: So even if shepherd is out, I wouldn't like automatically
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: plug and play Campbell there in a cash lineup. If
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: shepherd is in, I do consider that and try to
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: think about how you want to build that, whether you
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: play him or Jeremiah Smith, it might be pretty hard
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: to get them both together though.
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: You can do it. I built, even before all the
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: injury news, I built one that wasn't pretty, but it
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: was at least legitimate. It's possible.
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: And if Shepard is out, I would be more in
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: line to play a guy like Halsey or Richardson, maybe
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: somewhere on the passing side of Duke. But it's not
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: going to be a super big target game besides those
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: couple guys we mentioned.
- 1:05:19Speaker 5: Yeah, last week I had a really big stance on
- 1:05:22Speaker 5: Jordan Shipp. And, I mean, he was fine. But it's
- 1:05:24Speaker 5: like he's the only guy that I can think has, like,
- 1:05:27Speaker 5: a 12-point floor and an 18-point ceiling, like the way
- 1:05:29Speaker 5: the season has went.
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:05:31Speaker 5: Like, yeah, like you said, he has a touchdown. Like I'm,
- 1:05:34Speaker 5: I'm back in on chip. Like I do, I can't,
- 1:05:37Speaker 5: I don't have all the stats in front of me, but,
- 1:05:38Speaker 5: and I know Colin Dixon's really good, but just thinking
- 1:05:40Speaker 5: of the type of performance he had against Duke last week,
- 1:05:44Speaker 5: I really want to play Jordan Allen, but I got
- 1:05:46Speaker 5: scared away of the weather and he had a really
- 1:05:48Speaker 5: good game for Georgia tech against Duke. So like another
- 1:05:51Speaker 5: great spot for Jordan ship. Jelani Thurman's obviously been pretty
- 1:05:55Speaker 5: dang solid too.
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: I like him.
- 1:05:58Speaker 5: I'll play some Billy Edwards, but it's going to have
- 1:06:00Speaker 5: Nate Shepard in the lineup. So, Bill Belichick's allure, wasn't
- 1:06:04Speaker 5: it always like, we're going to take away your number
- 1:06:06Speaker 5: one option? Are they going to be able to take
- 1:06:09Speaker 5: away Ned Shepard? Because if they do, Duke is not
- 1:06:11Speaker 5: going to be able to do jack shit. But yeah,
- 1:06:15Speaker 5: I think what Nate Shepard, he rolled his ankle but
- 1:06:18Speaker 5: finished the game last week. I'm not overly concerned, but
- 1:06:21Speaker 5: definitely a spot to watch. Hopefully we get some clarity
- 1:06:24Speaker 5: tonight and he's just probable. But yeah, I don't mind
- 1:06:29Speaker 5: him hazily, but you know, he's a tight end, but
- 1:06:32Speaker 5: beyond that on the Duke side, I don't like any
- 1:06:34Speaker 5: of the pass catchers and, you know, Haisley, I like
- 1:06:37Speaker 5: kind of want to stack him, but I don't, I
- 1:06:40Speaker 5: don't really know who to stack him with. Like as
- 1:06:42Speaker 5: far as like North Carolina runbacks, I, I guess like
- 1:06:45Speaker 5: a ship, I don't know. I almost prefer him in
- 1:06:47Speaker 5: a game stack, but yeah, it'll be interesting to see
- 1:06:50Speaker 5: what happens.
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: Love Jordan ship. And yeah, Nate Shepard.
- 1:06:54Speaker 5: I mean, yeah.
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: Nate Shepard or Jeremiah this week. I don't know.
- 1:06:59Speaker 5: It's something about Nate Shepard being 10,000 instead of 9,900.
- 1:07:03Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
- 1:07:05Speaker 4: It's that threshold.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: I mean, we had the same conversation around Caleb Hawkins
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: last year, and I think he went for 45 points.
- 1:07:12Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: And, you know, if Jordan Shipp scores a touchdown or two,
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: maybe it's going to be Shipp at Nation with two
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: Ps this week because he'll bring your lineups to the top.
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: He should be our favorite player, right, is our name saying.
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: A double tech game, Georgia tech at Virginia tech, Georgia
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: tech coming off its first FBS win of the year.
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: The aforementioned Duke blue devils. That game was, was hideous.
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: Unless you're Trillane Maddox. If you're Trillane Maddox, it was
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: a great game. And now justice Haynes is doubtful. I
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: think a lot of eyes are going to be on Maddox,
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: but does that mean the pivot is in this passing game?
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: Alberto Mendoza is also cheap. Jordan Allen. 10 catches on
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: 11 targets last week, showing why he's the alpha. I
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: still love me some Kevin Roach because he's a ginormous
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: tight end, big red zone target, and he's athletic. On
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: the Virginia Tech side, one of the higher team totals
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: on the slate, Ethan Grunkemeier's prop, I believe, is over
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: 300 yards at 7K. It's hard to imagine he gets overlooked,
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: but just with the way the slate works out, he might,
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: and he has one of the higher ceilings, in my opinion.
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: Jeffrey Overton, One of those first guy ends averaging nearly
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: 20 touches a game for targets in every FBS game
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: and 6,500, very friendly. Marcel's Hawkins a bit too expensive,
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: although I feel like he could hit double digits. And
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: if he gets the touchdown variants, get there as well.
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: And then in the wide receiver room, it's basically Reynolds
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: and Brown. I know it's a high heat is going
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: to be back and he's been price, but that's, that's
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: like an extreme dart throw. It really has been Reynolds
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: and Brown. Ian, like a couple of cash plays in
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: this game for sure. Maybe, Maybe three or four, just
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: looking at it. How are you approaching the Tech game?
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: I love the Tech game. I'll start with Virginia Tech side.
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: One of the guys, I think we mentioned a couple
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: running backs, Jeff Overton. one of my favorite running back
- 1:09:01Speaker 3: plays of the slate you talk at mid k mid
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: 6k you.
- 1:09:04Speaker 4: Know he's going to touch the ball he catches the
- 1:09:05Speaker 4: ball he runs the ball uh.
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: 10 point favorite 33 point team total what's not to
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: like about overton as a running back play there really
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: think he's in a really good spot here um And again,
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: it's what you're talking about. So Maddox, yeah, great spot.
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: He's going to get the workload carry. He's a 10-point underdog.
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: He's 5'4, so for a backup running back, he's not
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: like in the 4Ks. He's only 1K less than Overton,
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: who is a proven commodity as an alpha running back
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: as a 10-point favorite.
- 1:09:36Speaker 4: So like the total opposite game script.
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: So where Maddox might get the attention because it's the
- 1:09:42Speaker 3: new backup or the new backup running back coming to
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: the starting play. I just like to flip the other
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: side and be like, I love Overton in this spot.
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: I love Gronkmeyer. You mentioned him. He's cut so much
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: upside as well. You know, they actually hit their team total.
- 1:09:57Speaker 3: That's five touchdowns. Where are those touchdowns going to come from?
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: It's going to come from Overton. It's going to come
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: from Gronk. It's probably going to go to Case O'Brown
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: and Luke Reynolds because that's where it's gone all year.
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: I really predictable Virginia texts. I really, really love this spot.
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: Awful double stack, single stack, play the running back only.
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: I think you could even play four in a line.
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: I'm not certainly my cash. I think you can pick
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: and choose cash, but wouldn't mind it. Uh, you mentioned
- 1:10:22Speaker 3: Allen on the other side, Georgia tech.
- 1:10:24Speaker 4: I do.
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: I do think Albert Mendoza is pretty interesting because, uh,
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: I think that would be your pivot off of Maddox.
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: If you want him to get a little bit different,
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: cause he's, he's even cheaper at that. Um, you know,
- 1:10:35Speaker 3: he has some running ability and just put up some points.
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: If he ends up throwing the ball from behind, they
- 1:10:40Speaker 3: threw the ball tongue last week. He'd really allow you
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: to pay up for if you were trying to get
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: to something like Shepard or Jeremiah Smith.
- 1:10:49Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: And if you look at it, is Virginia tech just
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: Missouri dressed up as a worse football team?
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: Like the way the usage funnels, it's very similar. I mean,
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: there's an extra running back that gets a little bit
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: more run, but the usage is, it's pretty clear.
- 1:11:06Speaker 5: Good good good comparison yeah i i'm uh i mean
- 1:11:12Speaker 5: i have the interest that you guys do it's kind
- 1:11:14Speaker 5: of cool like the top three running backs are all
- 1:11:16Speaker 5: from a tech school this week so if you just
- 1:11:18Speaker 5: build a lineup with everybody from a tech school you
- 1:11:20Speaker 5: should have a pretty good pretty good lineup um so
- 1:11:25Speaker 5: yeah i guess the thing i wanted and you kind
- 1:11:27Speaker 5: of touched on it ian like I was initially, I
- 1:11:29Speaker 5: didn't have Mendoza in my pool and I kind of
- 1:11:31Speaker 5: got to looking at it. And Virginia tech has been
- 1:11:33Speaker 5: a little susceptible to rushing quarterbacks. Not like Mendoza is
- 1:11:36Speaker 5: running a ton, but with Haynes out, um, Hoseley has
- 1:11:40Speaker 5: been out. Maybe we see him run a little more
- 1:11:42Speaker 5: at 5,300. I don't mind taking the shot in this
- 1:11:44Speaker 5: kind of game environment, especially as just a straight pivot
- 1:11:47Speaker 5: to Maddox. Um, like some Jordan Allen Roche, I'm, deciding
- 1:11:53Speaker 5: on pinson i'm not really interested in but i do
- 1:11:55Speaker 5: have like some interest in georgia tech passing a little
- 1:11:58Speaker 5: bit um yeah and then virginia tech really don't need
- 1:12:01Speaker 5: to add on to anymore but i will say the
- 1:12:04Speaker 5: way that overton fails is if i mean he's not
- 1:12:07Speaker 5: really uh i mean he had a lot of carries
- 1:12:09Speaker 5: against boston college but that game was a total washout
- 1:12:12Speaker 5: um you know he doesn't get his 20 carries and
- 1:12:15Speaker 5: doesn't get all the touchdowns just because he is splitting
- 1:12:17Speaker 5: with hawkins like i think he's a great play i'm
- 1:12:22Speaker 5: as to where Maddox fails with Mendoza, and that's like
- 1:12:24Speaker 5: circling back to Jacoby. That's why I feel like Jacoby's
- 1:12:27Speaker 5: at a tier of his own. But, yeah, I like
- 1:12:29Speaker 5: this game. You guys covered it pretty well.
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: Yeah, and like I said, that's the one spot where
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: Virginia Tech's structure differs from Missouri is just that Hawkins
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: does get pretty involved. Like there's a chance he has
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: double-digit DK points in this one. Looking at this last game,
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: I don't think we need to spend a whole lot
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: of time on it. Penn state at Michigan state or
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: at Michigan Rocco Beck is cheap back to a price
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: that we're used to seeing at Iowa state, but just
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: not a great matchup. We have a three headed running
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: back attack. I, I mean, they can't decide if they
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: want Carson Hanson or James peoples to be the guy.
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: It has been, it was people's and it was Hanson.
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: Quentin Martin still gets involved enough. Like the wide receivers
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: soul is like, Ben Unleashed is the alpha a little
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: bit more, but he's expensive. And just this slate, I
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: don't need to go there. Eskilsen. Rapalia has been the
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: better of the two tight ends if you want dip
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: and dunk short passes. He's got like 10-point upside just
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: on receptions alone. So if you want to get real greasy,
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: that's probably where I'd attack. On the Michigan side, Bryce Underwood.
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: I guess he can get there with his legs, but
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: you got to wonder if he's still on bench watch.
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: Tommy Carr is looming. It hasn't been as much of
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: a talker lately. I do want to attack Penn State
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: on the ground. Marshall and Heider are both on my radar.
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: Those are maybe my favorite plays in this game overall.
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: But man, they just have not been able to get
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: it going. Marshall had a touchdown against Minnesota. I know
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: that's a different matchup than Penn State, but they split.
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: Maybe you go Hyder because he's cheaper. Maybe he finally
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: hits his hype that he's the potential that he has.
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: And the pass catchers remain the same. If you're playing
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: a pass catcher, it's Buchanan or Marsh. Ian, this is
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: a cash nightmare, right?
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: I'm not touching this game. It's like you said, Tommy
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: Carr could take over Underwood. You got a split backfield.
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: You got receivers who are pretty good, but I mean,
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: they're kind of priced up, and I'm not touching the
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: Penn State side. One of the lower team totals on
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: the slate. With all the games that we've talked about,
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: these are two marquee programs. Give me all the other games. Like,
- 1:14:51Speaker 3: give me the game before 10 times out of 10.
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: Well, I have some interest in Michigan.
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: I figured you would.
- 1:14:58Speaker 4: Of course you do. There's no surprise there.
- 1:15:01Speaker 5: So this is the other game where it's the stoppable
- 1:15:06Speaker 5: force versus the movable object. Michigan's run game. So I
- 1:15:11Speaker 5: don't know why I got into this so much this morning.
- 1:15:13Speaker 5: So Jordan Marshall, he should be set at minus 200
- 1:15:17Speaker 5: for 11 carries because that's exactly what he has had
- 1:15:19Speaker 5: every game this year besides one where he had 10.
- 1:15:22Speaker 5: So am I paying $ 6, 900 for 11 carries? Absolutely not.
- 1:15:28Speaker 5: Heider's game logs haven't looked good. I don't think I'm
- 1:15:31Speaker 5: going to get there, but I like the angle of
- 1:15:33Speaker 5: attack to attack this Penn State rushing defense.
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: Northwestern ran for 422 yards against Penn State. Like, that
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: is nuts.
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: And it seemed like every time he looked up, Hyman
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: was running for 25-plus. It was insane. They busted him, too.
- 1:15:48Speaker 4: Is that Chip Kelly or is that Penn State? Legitimate question.
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think a mix of both.
- 1:15:54Speaker 4: Because Northwestern ran all over Indiana also.
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: Right, right.
- 1:16:00Speaker 5: Well, and I mean, yeah, they– Yeah, Penn State's just–
- 1:16:05Speaker 5: you know, they had that opening part of the season with, like,
- 1:16:07Speaker 5: all the max goals and their defense looked good. They
- 1:16:10Speaker 5: get to pick their play and it hasn't been. But, yeah,
- 1:16:13Speaker 5: I guess long-winded way of saying have some interest in Hyder.
- 1:16:17Speaker 5: So the receivers for Michigan, if you look at their
- 1:16:19Speaker 5: target leaders, it's Buchanan 39, Marsh 38. I think it's
- 1:16:24Speaker 5: Hogan Hanson's the next guy with six targets. That is
- 1:16:27Speaker 5: an insane target share. Like, they do have three touchdowns
- 1:16:31Speaker 5: to score. I think I love Buchanan and some Marsh
- 1:16:35Speaker 5: this week. USC torced them through the air. Tannock Hines
- 1:16:39Speaker 5: had a great game. Mosley had a great game. I
- 1:16:43Speaker 5: have some interest in the Michigan receivers. Like Underwood's probably
- 1:16:46Speaker 5: my least favorite to play, but I'm naturally just going
- 1:16:48Speaker 5: to play him because I like the Michigan receivers. But, yeah,
- 1:16:51Speaker 5: I don't– I mean, but like I said, I mean,
- 1:16:53Speaker 5: Michigan has definitely been the stoppable force. So what's going
- 1:16:57Speaker 5: to prevail here? I definitely have some interest in Michigan, though.
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a gross-looking game, but like I said, I
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: knew that there'd be some GPP goodness here, like just
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: some gross leverage. And it's not even that gross, like
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: you mentioned the targets there. So a decent spot for
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: those guys. That's going to do it for the slate.
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: I know we're pushing up on lunch breaks ending, so
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: if either of you guys need to get out of
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: here at any point, we're going to get to some
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: questions that were asked. This one.
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: Talks about DKGPP tournaments. Which ones do you have the
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: best success? What are your favorite ones to play in?
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: I think this is relevant this week because we have
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: 100K up top, a contest we're not used to seeing.
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: So for me, I play a ton of GPP. I
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: get into single entry. I'll enter once in a while
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: into the flagship, but I don't usually max it, so
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: probably not. It's probably negative EV for me, but sometimes
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: I get FOMO and just have to throw a dart
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: once in a while. But Generally speaking, I followed the
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: big guy's rule of thumb. My favorite contests are the
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: one that have 10% of the pool up top, 50%
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: of second or 50% of first to second, 10% of
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: first to 10th. And that way it's flatter payouts. Like
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: in the contest this weekend, it's a third to first. Awesome.
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: 100K up top. You could hit the nuts lineup and
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: still lose by two points, get fourth place and drop
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: from 100,000 to 5,000. Not that $ 5, 000 is anything to
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: scoff at, but that's a massive drop off. And that's
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: what you get in a lot of these 150 max.
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: So I prefer single entry just because of the flatter
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: payout structure. Kenny, I know you play GPP a lot more. Ian,
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: you've dabbled a little bit this year and had some success.
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: What do you guys feel about this?
- 1:18:47Speaker 3: Yeah, um i'll talk real quick then i have to
- 1:18:49Speaker 3: get out of here um because i know kenny's got
- 1:18:51Speaker 3: a lot of the gpp knowledge experience this year i've
- 1:18:53Speaker 3: been doing a little bit more than 150 bills in
- 1:18:55Speaker 3: the five dollar it's a little bit flatter payout i
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: just kind of been enjoying more of a gpp build
- 1:19:00Speaker 3: just because the i typically play lower entry higher dollar
- 1:19:04Speaker 3: amounts with single entry three maxes um when they have
- 1:19:07Speaker 3: the higher dollar tournaments I jump into those but I
- 1:19:13Speaker 3: feel like I've been kind of you know with the
- 1:19:16Speaker 3: cash range everything kind of coming out I've just been
- 1:19:18Speaker 3: trying to find new ways to dabble and I've just
- 1:19:20Speaker 3: been playing with the 150 maxes so I stick to
- 1:19:23Speaker 3: that $ 5 just because of the flatter payout like you
- 1:19:25Speaker 3: mentioned Bill just so I'm not like burning through my
- 1:19:28Speaker 3: bankroll the entire time trying to chase it because I
- 1:19:32Speaker 3: still am doing some of the smaller entry ones which
- 1:19:35Speaker 3: is ultimately I like the three max or less Because
- 1:19:39Speaker 3: then I'm hand building. I'm trying to mix and match
- 1:19:42Speaker 3: some games, some stacks, just in that way. So a
- 1:19:46Speaker 3: little bit of exploration just into that, just kind of
- 1:19:50Speaker 3: trying to mix and match some different ways of building,
- 1:19:52Speaker 3: just building some different strategies, different ways to attack based
- 1:19:55Speaker 3: on slate to slate. But, yeah, I'm going to have
- 1:20:02Speaker 3: to get out of here anyway and let the GPP master, Mr.
- 1:20:06Speaker 4: Hamhock, there talk about that.
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: Cheers, Ian. Go educate some young buddies.
- 1:20:12Speaker 4: You guys have a great weekend. Good luck to Saturday.
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: All right.
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: Cheers.
- 1:20:18Speaker 5: You know, obviously I play usually like, so, I mean,
- 1:20:21Speaker 5: comparative to NFL, NFL, there's such a wide selection of
- 1:20:24Speaker 5: contests and like the contests are never going to be
- 1:20:26Speaker 5: as good for college. You know, I guess bankroll aside,
- 1:20:31Speaker 5: like I always thought the $ 44, like the marching band,
- 1:20:34Speaker 5: it's like a six max. It's usually like 5k to first. Um,
- 1:20:38Speaker 5: it's great if you're like hand building and like want
- 1:20:40Speaker 5: to run different stacks around, which usually I do 150
- 1:20:42Speaker 5: set and then I'll play like five to eight lineups, um,
- 1:20:46Speaker 5: through contests and just like work different stacks together. Um,
- 1:20:51Speaker 5: you know, and they're not lineups that are necessarily like
- 1:20:53Speaker 5: going to be like the gross stuff, but like, it'll
- 1:20:57Speaker 5: be just like a simple pivot. Um, you know, like
- 1:21:01Speaker 5: this week, like one I could think of is like,
- 1:21:04Speaker 5: Marshall's probably going to be a little more played than Avery.
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: So play Avery.
- 1:21:08Speaker 5: And then I want to play Dylan Edwards. And I
- 1:21:09Speaker 5: like that matchup better anyways. And then just leave Marshall out.
- 1:21:13Speaker 5: Just little pivots like that. And that $ 44 works nice.
- 1:21:17Speaker 5: But that'd be my favorite one overall as far as
- 1:21:19Speaker 5: structure and, you know, building goes.
- 1:21:23Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: And Kenny also had a follow-up question. whether we mostly
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: hand build or use SaberSim to help make the lineups or,
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: I mean, for this question, we can just talk in
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: general optimizer of choice. You know, we have SaberSim. I
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: love SaberSim. I'm still weaning myself off of the previously
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: used optimizer. So I kind of dabble in both. For
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: my purposes, I typically will run on an optimizer and
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: see what it's spitting out and then hand build from
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: there because I'm usually only building like one to five lineups.
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: So for 150, I presume you use an optimizer quite
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: a bit, but what, what kind of hand building do
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: you just set rules or do you supplement with hand
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: building on top of the optimized optimization?
- 1:22:05Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, it's almost like two separate things for me.
- 1:22:09Speaker 5: Like I, like I'll build my 150 set with the optimizer.
- 1:22:12Speaker 5: I don't really factor that into my hand builds. I
- 1:22:14Speaker 5: would say one thing like the stone 2.0, the way
- 1:22:18Speaker 5: that you can work lineups in there, like that's really
- 1:22:21Speaker 5: good for hand building. Cause you can kind of like
- 1:22:23Speaker 5: lock your sack in that's lower owned. And then like
- 1:22:26Speaker 5: click optimize, like if I already have a couple of
- 1:22:28Speaker 5: different pieces, then I'm okay to pay the best pieces
- 1:22:30Speaker 5: or however that, you know.
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: Shakes out.
- 1:22:32Speaker 5: But that, I would say the stone 2.0 is like
- 1:22:35Speaker 5: really good for hand building. Um, just to kind of
- 1:22:38Speaker 5: see like, you know, rather than a bunch of scrolling,
- 1:22:41Speaker 5: you know, you go lock in a stack and go
- 1:22:43Speaker 5: from there. Um, but that's kind of like how I
- 1:22:46Speaker 5: build like I'll just, um, yeah.
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: And I pulled up, I pulled up the stone 2.0
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: for NFL just because our, our college football one's not
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: set yet. Um, but yeah, it's, it basically just puts
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: the stone into spreadsheet and column form. So it's sortable.
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: Once we have cash players, Mark, you can filter by
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: cash high upside GPP. If you want to target specific games,
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: you can target specific types of games, uh, specific teams.
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: And then, I mean, obviously you can also build a
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: lineup and save it. There's a star up here somewhere.
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: And it goes into these save lineups. I think you
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: can do up to 20, but then you can export
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: and upload. So it's great for 20 maxing. There's certainly uses,
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: but it's just, it's simplicity at its best. It keeps
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: everything really simple, puts all the relevant information right in
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: front of you. Something we added new to ShipIt Nation
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: this year. And I think it's just a super good
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: tool to help build lineups without. And it's not, for
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: those that haven't used optimizers, it's definitely not as intimidating
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: as like a Saber sim or even like our previous
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: part of the solver, like Those things are like they
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: can be daunting when you just look at them as
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: a new user. The Stone 2.0 is super simple. In
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: terms of this, how many guys do we have in
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: our pool for college football? Typically, like, again, I don't
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: want 50 max. When I 20 max, I typically like
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: to keep it to like three to five quarterbacks and
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: keep my player pool super tight. Like I want to
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: build if I'm playing, especially in higher entry tournaments, I
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: want to build to win the thing, not necessarily to Duke.
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: and split or min cash every lineup. Um, so I'm,
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: I'm looking to get to the top. It's so it's
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: not necessarily a certain number of guys it's week to week, but, um,
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: usually three to five quarterbacks, a handful of running backs.
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: And then I like pairing pass catchers when applicable. So
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: that'll vary even more like is, are my quarterbacks guys
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: that I want to pair or are they guys that
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: I like for their legs? Um, so it's a really
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: variable question week to week. Kenny, how do you feel
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: about it in the one fifties?
- 1:24:48Speaker 5: Um, I guess for me, like it's usually bigger. Like
- 1:24:50Speaker 5: I think this week I've got it. Usually I'm not
- 1:24:53Speaker 5: ahead of the game this week, but I am, but
- 1:24:54Speaker 5: I think I'm like at 68 players, but like a
- 1:24:58Speaker 5: lot of times, like I'll have like 2% of a
- 1:25:00Speaker 5: receiver that's forced in a stack, like Nick McMillan, I'll
- 1:25:03Speaker 5: play like 3% of them this week only in Marshall,
- 1:25:06Speaker 5: you know? So I'm not playing that many lineups with
- 1:25:09Speaker 5: guys like that. So my player pool gets bigger, but
- 1:25:12Speaker 5: in a way I'm playing them is like to unlock
- 1:25:14Speaker 5: their ceiling. So I don't feel like I need to
- 1:25:16Speaker 5: have such an abundance. Um, of players per se. But yeah,
- 1:25:22Speaker 5: as far as uniques go, like that's kind of a
- 1:25:24Speaker 5: dangerous game. I'll do, I do two on like main slate,
- 1:25:28Speaker 5: but like if it's three games or less, I'm only
- 1:25:30Speaker 5: one unique.
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:25:33Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: And the size of the slate definitely matters. You know,
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: last night you just play Texas state and move on.
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: Like I think the optimal might've been quarterback and two
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: Texas state running backs with no wide receiver. Yeah.
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: Yeah. That was a little frustrating.
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: But then just one more, one more. This is about tonight.
- 1:25:53Speaker 1: I actually misread this question earlier and pull it up.
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: Any dart throws below 4k for tonight's three game slate.
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: I mean like Jamar Harris and Robbie Washington are exactly that.
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: Like they're dart throws. Those are the two guys that popped.
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: There's a couple of guys right at 4k that I
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: don't mind.
- 1:26:13Speaker 4: Is it Burhan?
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: Is he flat 4k flat?
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: Uh, but I did want, Oh, topic is the guy
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: that I was thinking of at 4k flat. Uh, but
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: in terms of tonight's slate, I, if, if he's going
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: to be low on, I'm going to be all over
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: Jamari McClure for Tulane. Uh, Memphis has run defense sucks.
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: McClure was back last week, um, and had some decent
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: run in the, like everything I've seen is like, Oh,
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: this just adds a new dynamic. He's been hurt this year,
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: but McClure is my tip of the day, I guess,
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: for Friday night slate. I'm going to be playing him.
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: He's not going to save you money, but I think
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: he's going to be low on just because he hasn't
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: played much this year. But I think he could ascend
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: to RB1 tonight, and I want to be ahead of
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: that curve for Tulane.
- 1:26:59Speaker 5: Yeah, I've thought about that myself. It's a little scary.
- 1:27:05Speaker 5: I wish he was a little cheaper.
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: Oh, for sure. Absolutely.
- 1:27:08Speaker 5: But he should– not have much ownership yet. Honestly, I
- 1:27:11Speaker 5: haven't really dug into tonight that much, but, um, you know,
- 1:27:16Speaker 5: and even above 4k gets pretty or below 4k gets
- 1:27:19Speaker 5: pretty gross, but, um, you know, I don't know. I
- 1:27:22Speaker 5: there's gosh, I wish I'd looked on the slate a
- 1:27:25Speaker 5: little more. So I give you a better answer. I
- 1:27:27Speaker 5: don't mind like a coastal Carolina, like the gardeners and
- 1:27:30Speaker 5: Englishes of the world. Um, just kind of looking at it,
- 1:27:33Speaker 5: but I've really got to build a ton. I will say, um,
- 1:27:37Speaker 5: my probably biggest stand tonight is like Washington doubles with
- 1:27:41Speaker 5: Roebuck and proceed and Lawson and even one of the
- 1:27:44Speaker 5: two tight ends.
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: Um, yeah. Did they improve a quarterback in the passing game?
- 1:27:50Speaker 5: Like, you know, I didn't, didn't watch that game as much. Um,
- 1:27:54Speaker 5: I mean the first half I didn't even Vaughn and
- 1:27:55Speaker 5: me was dominating, but if you're box score watching, it
- 1:27:59Speaker 5: definitely looked that way.
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: But yeah.
- 1:28:03Speaker 1: Uh, nice. Uh, We can wrap it up there. I
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: love talking shop, talking contests, talking builds, all that stuff.
- 1:28:10Speaker 1: So I appreciate the questions, even a little bonus Friday
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: night coverage. But we are going to end the show
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: the same way we do every single week. Big guys
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: rule number one, college football is fun. Enjoy building your lineups.
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: Enjoy the sweat. Enjoy the process. Be thankful that we
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: have college football to watch on our TVs. Hopefully we
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: see those lineups climb to the top, but if they don't,
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: we at least have an entertaining product every single week
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: in front of us. But most of all, don't take
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: any of these days for granted because we never know
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: which one's going to be our last. But with that,
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: for my man Kenny, for Ian, I'm Dollar Bill. We're
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: going to wrap up this Ship It Nation college football show.
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: Let's go out onto the streets this weekend and ship
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: one for the big guy.
