1 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,500 We finally made it. We are here for the fantasy play 2 00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:09,800 offs. It is best ball pod advance 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,880 week. Unfortunately my trusty Co host 4 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,960 Draco is under the weather so we are sending our thoughts out to 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,480 him this week. But you are getting a very 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,800 special solo edition of Stat chasing this week. 7 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:35,400 Or should I say stack chasing? Pat Fryer Helmo, this is Anita 8 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,360 handjob. Fix your sight. 9 00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:44,520 Jamar Alpha play chase. You can't handle the heat. 10 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,600 It looks like we're finally at this point, you're right. 11 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,960 Good evening everybody. Thank you for joining me here. 12 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,160 Happy best Fall pod advancement Week. 13 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,080 For those of you who celebrate, we're going to have a little 14 00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:08,920 slightly different programming tonight than you're used to. 15 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,680 Normally I've got my my trusty Co host Drico with me, but he is 16 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,120 unfortunately under the weather so I'm just going to be rolling 17 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,800 this one solo and I just can't stand my giant face on this 18 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,920 screen, so I'm gonna go ahead and bring the charts up right 19 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,880 away. Things will be a little 20 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,960 different here without Draco. Honestly, he is the best Co host 21 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:36,200 I could ask for because he really lets me take what I've 22 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,760 synthesized from all of the stats that I've poured over and 23 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,800 the games that I've watched. And he kind of lets me vibe out 24 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,480 with it a little bit more. And then he keeps me more 25 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,760 grounded where I might say something that is outlandish or, 26 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,800 or what he feels may not be consistent with the data or 27 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,520 he'll have a good supplemental point to something that I say 28 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,360 and and he'll kind of keep us on track. 29 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,160 So it's going to be a little different without him. 30 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,920 We're we're just going to get the pure sack word vomit stream 31 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,320 of consciousness tonight. So what you can expect from 32 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,000 tonight is probably worse takes and analysis than usual. 33 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,080 A guy who you know, likes the sound of his own voice way too 34 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,520 much to be willing to do a show solo. 35 00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:24,160 And you're definitely going to get a lot more playoff best ball 36 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,880 and things that are just more directly in my wheelhouse that I 37 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,720 am comfortable with because that's that's what sack chasing 38 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:37,360 is is going to be all about. So I think before we start 39 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,000 diving into the stats here and going through our charts per 40 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,680 usual, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge that it is 41 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,200 playoff or basketball pod advancement week. 42 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,720 I hope that it is going well for all of you out there in the 43 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,680 audience. Pretty pleased with how the 44 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,760 season went for myself and I've seen lots of people in the 45 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,040 community with really good advance rates and some fun 46 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,320 teams. Lots of people at the top of 47 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,280 some of the leaderboards, like for regular season prizes or for 48 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,880 the marathon. I won't jinx any of you who 49 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,640 happen to be sitting near the top of the marathon, but just 50 00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:19,320 know that I am watching your teams eagerly hoping that you do 51 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,760 take down one of the big ones here, and and hoping that I 52 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,920 don't see any of you in my pods. And if we do, I I wish you the 53 00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:28,880 best of luck in all your other pods. 54 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,080 But that's enough rambling. You're, you're all here for the 55 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,360 stats, so we'll get into our quarterback chart. 56 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,200 I'm not going to do the normal preamble where we explain what 57 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,800 the chart is. It's week 14, man. 58 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,080 If you're still here, you know what this is about. 59 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,600 The first note that I had on the quarterback chart is 60 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,960 surprisingly playoff best ball themed. 61 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:57,000 I know that you're shocked, but the guys that I wanted to talk 62 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,920 about fall into the category of kind of disgusting quarterbacks 63 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,080 that I'm like, not super excited to watch play NFL football, not 64 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,160 really excited to have on my fantasy teams. 65 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,280 Like if I see these guys on a team, I'm advancing in a in a 66 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,360 normal regular season basketball pod, I'm like, ah, shit, I wish 67 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,480 I had a different quarterback. But for playoff best ball, 68 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,000 there's a confluence of factors that make them much more 69 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,960 palatable. And those guys are Trevor 70 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,880 Lawrence and Bone Nick. So you can see where they're at 71 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,920 on the chart. They're both in the quadrant 72 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,040 where it's these guys have volume but lack efficiency. 73 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,240 They're getting a decent number of drop backs per game. 74 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,920 Bonex has had this a little bit inflated where he's he's got 75 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,440 that, you know, crazy overtime game where they ran a ton of 76 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,760 plays and there have been a couple. 77 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,560 It really just feels like the Broncos find themselves in spots 78 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,320 where it's like, oh God, we need to come back in the fourth 79 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,000 quarter. And there there's nothing we can 80 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,240 do except let Bonex throw it 20 more times in the game. 81 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,640 And like, if you remember the Giants game that happened, you 82 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,120 know, you get the Commander's game that happened. 83 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,280 So Bonex just does this weird thing where he's not 84 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:09,000 particularly good. He's very inconsistent, but he 85 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,880 has like he's good for like 3 or 4 really sick plays in a game. 86 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,560 And like, even as the certified card carrying member of the 87 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,560 Bonex fan club or Bonex Hater club, excuse me, I I have to 88 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,160 admit that he's got those in the bag. 89 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,200 Why he's so interesting for playoff basketball is he's a 90 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,240 quarterback with a pulse and he falls in the quadrant, one of 91 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,040 the two quadrants where it's like, hey, this guy has a 92 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,440 volume. He's not down in the, you know, 93 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,600 Aaron Rodgers quadrant where, hey, that is a guy who could be 94 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,600 live for playoff basketball. His team is, you know, favored 95 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,600 to make the playoffs in his division over the Ravens, but 96 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,160 just the volume is not there. And like, sure, he's a little 97 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,320 bit more efficient than Bodnik's, but I mean, the the 98 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,760 difference in number of drop backs is more than gonna make up 99 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,320 for that difference in efficiency. 100 00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,280 And so combine that with the fact that the Broncos are one of 101 00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:03,920 the teams with the highest odds of making the Super Bowl on the 102 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,400 AFC side. And when you couple that with 103 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,080 Bodnik's price as well, where I feel like on DraftKings, he's a 104 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,400 lot more hotly contested, there'll be teams where I just 105 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,480 get sniped on Bonex and on Underdog. 106 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,640 At least today in the limited drafting, I'm done. 107 00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:24,280 He's a little bit easier to kind of like stake your claim on, 108 00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:28,320 like if you get RJ Harvey, no one, at least so far for me 109 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,640 today, I haven't really had anyone try to contest me on 110 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,040 Bonex. So he's pretty interesting. 111 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,360 I really like him at his price. He's definitely one that I'll 112 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,400 probably have a lot of if the current market behavior holds. 113 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,560 The other one I mentioned is Trevor Lawrence. 114 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:48,080 So Trevor Lawrence is like the emergency, like break glass kind 115 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,320 of quarterback where what I've been realizing more as we've 116 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,520 done more stuff with The Sims and playoff basketball is the 117 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,680 game is just a little bit different than I think a lot of 118 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,000 us had come to understand it over the last couple years. 119 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:08,280 Where I used to think of the game as, you know, by any means 120 00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:11,080 necessary, get a viable Super Bowl line up. 121 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,040 You know, one one that has like at least a decent chance of 122 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,760 being in a Super Bowl and and has, you know, the ability to 123 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,480 fill out my starting roster in every draft that I do, right. 124 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,240 It's so important in every draft that I do. 125 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,840 And I actually don't think that's correct. 126 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,960 I'm pretty sure. And we've got some very solid 127 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,680 math to back this up now with The Sims that what this game 128 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,080 actually is is it's just a it's a game about patience, man. 129 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,000 You you just got to go into the rooms. 130 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,360 A lot of rooms aren't going to break your way. 131 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,160 People do stupid stuff. They blow up your stack, they 132 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,080 they snipe A combo that you need. 133 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,800 What have you, you it it might even not be that anything in 134 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,240 particular goes terribly wrong in your room. 135 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,960 You just might get kind of ho hum combos and and it's just not 136 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,200 going to be enough to take down a finals in that particular 137 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,160 Super Bowl combo. You might finish, you know, 138 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,840 highly, but you're just not you're not live for 1st. 139 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,800 And So what The Sims really helped illuminate for me is it's 140 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,520 more about trying to tread water in the rooms where you can't get 141 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,360 these monster teams and you're just trying to stay alive, stay 142 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,360 alive until you can hit that big play. 143 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,840 Basically you're, you know, you're trying to be the 144 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,200 quarterback that has a better success rate than Bo Nicks, but 145 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,600 still is able to deliver those big plays downfield. 146 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,040 That's what you're doing in playoff basketball. 147 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,520 You need to hit the deep shots. That's how you win all the 148 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,640 money. But you can't just go and turn 149 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,360 the ball over, go 3 and out all the time when you don't get the 150 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,280 monsters. And that's, that's kind of how I 151 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,840 feel like we had been playing in the past and people who had 152 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,320 followed kind of conventional wisdom had been playing in the 153 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,800 past. And, and I do think that it's 154 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,000 better to have break glass options like the Jaguars and 155 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000 Trevor Lawrence in your bag where if I'm doing something 156 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,520 like, man, I really want to want to try and get a super strong 157 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,640 start. I got CMC and Saquon. 158 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,800 I'll try and get Hertz and all the Eagles. 159 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,280 If I miss out on that, though, I've got these really strong NFC 160 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,200 pieces where if those teams are in the Super Bowl, they'll be 161 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,320 the highest projected player. And so I'm just gonna play it 162 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,680 through some low probability AFC Super Bowl where this guy's and 163 00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:20,960 this team is gonna get at least a game 'cause they're very 164 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,160 likely to make the playoffs. Maybe they sneak to if they do 165 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,880 go on a run. This is how I actually win all 166 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,440 the money. And I did it in a way where I 167 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,840 didn't just punt my entry. I'm not like dead to advance 168 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,840 round one anyway. That's probably a whole lot more 169 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,760 playoff best ball insight than you cared about for Trevor 170 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:43,360 Lawrence and Bonex specifically. But I felt like those guys stood 171 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,040 out to me probably just cause I've been doing so much playoff 172 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,520 basketball drafting so much of them. 173 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,240 But where they're out on the chart, it's like I got my 174 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,080 playoff basketball beer goggles on now. 175 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,640 You know, they're starting to look a little Trevor Lawrence 176 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,320 and Bonex. They were like a, you know, 2 177 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,720 out of 10 earlier, but it's close in time now, baby. 178 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,080 And they look good enough to take home on some playoff 179 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:06,800 basketball rosters. So all right, next next note 180 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,360 that I had this is a short 1 Jacoby Brissett. 181 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,080 He can't keep getting away with it meme. 182 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,200 I've if you've been watching the show, I'm pretty sure for like I 183 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,640 don't know how many weeks it's been now. 184 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,800 It feels like forever, but I have consistently said like 185 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,880 whatever Jacoby Brissett projects for in whatever 186 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,680 projections it is that you're using, go ahead and bump that 187 00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:33,320 up. Just the volume is so ridiculous 188 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,600 there, man. I mean, he he averages the 189 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,360 highest number of drop backs per game now, I believe, if my 190 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,840 memory serves, they get the Texans this week and they're 191 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,840 missing. I believe they're they're 192 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,400 starting tackle. So it's bad news for them this 193 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,480 week. I might not be quite as 194 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,320 aggressive with the Brissette projection bumps this week as I 195 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:57,280 have been in the past, but I bet you I I still bump him up just 196 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,000 purely on the fact that his volume remains under projected. 197 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,200 In these past couple weeks, I've been adjusting his projection up 198 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,120 as much as like if he'd he'd projected for like 16 some weeks 199 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,320 or things I'm projecting him for like 20 or like there is a week 200 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,840 where I think Mahomes projected for like 2122. 201 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,080 And and I had in my notes for the slate like make sure percent 202 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,360 should project for as much as Mahomes on this slate. 203 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,400 And I was like, oh God, I don't know if I can can bump him up 204 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,000 that much. And so I I chickened out a 205 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,240 little and and moved him a point lower than Mahomes. 206 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,240 Then sure enough, that was the slate where Jacoby was like mega 207 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,560 optimal. It's like I should have just 208 00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:38,440 listened to my own analysis. But yeah, Brissett just 209 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,480 continues to be fun. It'll be curious to see how he 210 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,040 fares against a really tough Texas defense this week. 211 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,600 But feel pretty good about that call. 212 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,480 And I do think that for the rest of the fantasy playoffs, you 213 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,400 know, you're pretty happy to have pieces of this Cardinals 214 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,280 offense because the volume is is just really, really good. 215 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,400 And I guess more specifically, the passing game. 216 00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,960 Last note on the quarterback chart. 217 00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:01,600 We're going to we're going to keep it tight here. 218 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:09,040 The last guy had was shooter Sanders, who had been so bad in 219 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,040 previous weeks and over such a small sample that he kind of 220 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,760 broke our chart. It's just like so low on the 221 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,800 chart that it skewed everything and made it really hard to, you 222 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,360 know, get a good visualization of where everyone else was. 223 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,680 They just were all too tightly clumped together because of how 224 00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:27,320 terrible he was. Has a monster game against the 225 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,160 putrid Tennessee Titans team. Like absolutely awful. 226 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,240 I do want to inject like a little bit of caution here for 227 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,520 anyone who is like, oh man, I can totally play shooter Sanders 228 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,600 now or the the Browns passing game. 229 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,280 Like they've got the solution. A big chunk of this efficiency 230 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:49,280 for shooter was generated by huge yards after catch by his 231 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,720 receivers. So you have Jerry Judy takes a 232 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,880 slant to the house monster play. I can't remember exactly how 233 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,520 long. I want to say it was like a 60 234 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,080 yarder or something ridiculous like that 60 yard touchdown or 235 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:04,800 something adds a ton to Shuder's numbers there where, you know, 236 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,880 we can't take that away from him and and say like, Oh well, 237 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,640 actually since the receiver ran after the reception, it doesn't 238 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,840 really count for Shuder. Like that's not what I'm saying. 239 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,240 But what I am saying is it's a lot more volatile than, you 240 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,160 know, if he's hitting guys and and doing that with like 241 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,000 significant air yardage behind it and not as much yards after 242 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,160 catch. The other one you get a huge 243 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,440 Judkins run after the catch as well. 244 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,440 So anyway, just wanting to add a little bit of caution there to 245 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,400 the CHADUR efficiency. I would expect this to regress. 246 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,280 But yeah, overall my sentiment is bullish for the Browns, where 247 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,600 this seems like a meaningful upgrade over Dylan Gabriel. 248 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,320 I know that's not a huge bar or a very high bar to clear. 249 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,160 But yeah, ultimately think that it's a a positive for him and 250 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,720 the Browns going forward. Just something where I I don't 251 00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:00,680 want to like read too much into it here, so I'll go ahead and 252 00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:05,480 move on to the next chart here. We've got the running back snaps 253 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:11,080 and usage my notes on this one. All right, this one I think 254 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,880 pretty important for playoff bestball. 255 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,960 Also kind of be useful for DFS. And you know, if you've got 256 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,640 these guys on your, your teams and basketball pods, you, you 257 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,960 probably care about this. But the Kyron Williams versus 258 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,800 Blake Coram stuff like how much of this was signal? 259 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,840 You know, how much of this is like, Oh my gosh, like we need 260 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,160 to be worried about Kyron Williams, but Korum is taking 261 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,920 over. I'm here to tell you, if you are 262 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,360 a Kyron Williams manager, don't fear. 263 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,200 This is basically the exact same split that has happened over the 264 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,680 last four games. Granted, Korum had a little bit 265 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,960 of an uptick in usage this game, but that's 'cause they're 266 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,600 beating the brakes off a shitty Cardinals team that you know, 267 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,320 they they don't really need to to go out there and load Kyron 268 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,200 up with touches. So Korum does see a little bump 269 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,120 of usage, but I'm pretty sure it's it's very game script 270 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:08,000 driven and also Korum's like efficiency just looks really 271 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,600 good. He popped a popped a big run, 272 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,320 gets a touchdown look good on it. 273 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,760 Don't want to take anything away from him. 274 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,440 He wasn't like terribly explosive. 275 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,520 Pretty sure he gets caught from behind if it's like 10 more 276 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,960 yards, but like good enough that he's a serviceable back. 277 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,280 He is like a a solid backup running back. 278 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,360 Never someone you should be like playing really in DFS or or even 279 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,000 like, you know, AA12 man underdog draft. 280 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,440 That's like not a thing that you do. 281 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,480 The fact that it got there is like very, very cool. 282 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,920 Like you played a player projected for six points and he 283 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,960 he happened to smash. All players who are are 284 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,200 projected for six points can smash. 285 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,320 You know, that can be in their range of outcomes. 286 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,280 Like I, I think back to, I want to say it was last year, I want 287 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,080 to say it was against the Panthers where people were 288 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,320 talking about, oh, do you play Tyler Algier against the 289 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,120 Panthers? Because there might be a ton of 290 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:03,120 garbage time. It's like, I mean, no, like cool 291 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,680 thought. And yes, it, he does end up 292 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,920 smashing in that game. Think he puts up like 20 half 293 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,360 PPR points 'cause he gets 2 touchdowns, but that's just like 294 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,680 not a thing that is good process. 295 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,960 It's a thing where you're going to lose money over the long run. 296 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,320 If you're chasing these really low projection players and 297 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,840 saying Oh well this game script is gonna be the thing that leads 298 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,320 them to fall into the end zone twice. 299 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,720 It's like any anybody that is getting touches can can fall 300 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,600 into the end zone twice. Like you don't need to go chase 301 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,000 a guy with, you know, a projection of 6. 302 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,920 That's just not a thing that I would recommend doing. 303 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,080 So in summary, not terribly concerned about Karen's role 304 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,400 going forward. I think this was pretty game 305 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,280 script dependent. Probably makes a quorum price a 306 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,360 little bit more expensive in playoff basketball, but he was 307 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,920 already a pretty important piece just to be able to fill out Rams 308 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,600 Super Bowl rosters because the Rams really don't have very many 309 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,480 pieces that are viable. Like on underdog. 310 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,080 I'm not drafting any Rams receivers outside of Puka or 311 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,760 Devante Adams. Like you can miss me with that 312 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,079 22 out. Well, shit or whatever, whatever 313 00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:10,319 random guy you want to click there, you know, that's that's 314 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,680 good for you and it's not something I'll be doing. 315 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,680 But quorum is kind of like my last stop there. 316 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,680 And then on DraftKings, sometimes you just find yourself 317 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,839 in a position where you got to click a random Rams tight end 318 00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:23,520 and and you just got to do it. But for the most part, quorum is 319 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,880 like my drop deadline on Rams. I'm not going to take anyone 320 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,960 that projects for lower than him in playoff basketball. 321 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:36,040 OK, next note I have here, I think is I think are all of 322 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,560 these on the the next slide? No, I've got Tony Pollard here. 323 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,840 We'll we'll do Tony Pollard before I go to the backups only 324 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,240 note that I have here cool game. Tony Pollard. 325 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,760 I don't think there's a ton of signal here. 326 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,760 They just you know, the Browns did not show up to play and 327 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,920 there is some really poor play on some big Tony Pollard 328 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,920 breakaway plays like that, that long touchdown run. 329 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,560 There's just a lot of guys falling down. 330 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,320 And so that was cool. I was happy for Tony Pollard and 331 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,800 it it helped me advance some teams. 332 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,280 I I have way more Tony Pollard probably than I should. 333 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:12,400 I think our inputs may have been a touch hot on him given the 334 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,160 overall offensive environment this year. 335 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,920 So I think Tony Pollard might have been one of my process 336 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,920 misses this year for regular season. 337 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,840 Best ball. But sometimes better be lucky 338 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,760 than good baby. So we will take the Tony Pollard 339 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,720 nuke game when we needed it here. 340 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:32,080 OK, the next running back notes I have for you I believe all 341 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,080 come from the backups chart. So let me go there. 342 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,720 Yeah. So Omari and Hampton, he is 343 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,560 bigly back looked really good in the usage that he got. 344 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,720 He did. He did miss, you know, he had a 345 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,920 a bad Rep in pass protection. I didn't think Vidal was perfect 346 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,160 in pass protection either. For the record, I think PFF had 347 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,400 them graded slightly higher, but there there's a play where I 348 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,960 felt like Vidal it, it might not have been his fault, but if it 349 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,160 was his assignment, he he missed the assignment. 350 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,360 But yeah, I, I think over time you're gonna see Amari and 351 00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:13,960 Hampton get more and more of this role. 352 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,440 Vidal could be annoying in that he could hang on in the passing 353 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,200 game, but it's not like Hampton was unused in the passing game. 354 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,160 He looked good and very fluid when he caught the ball as well. 355 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,960 So if anything the most annoying thing would be if Vidal carves 356 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,400 out a third down roll and they really like him and prefer him 357 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,080 for pass protection stuff because of how Hanford this 358 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,840 offensive line is with all their injuries. 359 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,760 I mean they lose Trey Pipkins as well in this game. 360 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,840 Like the the Chargers are probably the least lucky team as 361 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,120 far as offensive line injuries this season. 362 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:49,200 Just when you consider like the number of offensive line 363 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,800 injuries and the caliber of players to which they happen, 364 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,640 like charges are down really bad at offensive line. 365 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,960 But overall, I think very bullish for Hampton. 366 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,880 He's someone I'm super excited to have on basketball teams. 367 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,200 Like if you've got him into the playoffs, that's pretty good. 368 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,280 You're you're pretty, pretty stoked for Hampton there. 369 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:12,480 Next note I had Oh man. So for every rookie running back 370 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,920 that we are excited about, there's a a rookie running back 371 00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:19,680 for which we are sad. And this poor guy doesn't even 372 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,560 make the chart for us because his snaps just aren't high 373 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,680 enough. And that's Basial Tooten. 374 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,440 Basial Tooten 2 really bad fumbles. 375 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,080 Man gets benched for fumbling the game. 376 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,760 Even when it's out of hand and they take Trevor Lawrence out of 377 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,400 the game. Basial Tooten still does not get 378 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,120 snaps. It's still ETN. 379 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,960 Pretty pretty bearish there. The the like Basial Tooten 380 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,920 breakout week just seems like, you know, he took one step 381 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,840 forward and and maybe 2 steps back. 382 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,240 Maybe it's a 2 steps forward, one step back thing and we're 383 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,400 just in the middle of the step back and it it feels bad in the, 384 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,120 you know, the world's ending. If you drafted a bunch of Basil 385 00:20:57,120 --> 00:20:59,640 Tooton. I got a bunch of Basil Tooton 386 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,400 teams in the in the best of all playoffs, and I sure hope he 387 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,200 could do something. I think at this point for like a 388 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:10,120 a real ceiling outcome, you need a ETN injury ET NS a great piece 389 00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:13,000 in playoff best ball, by the way, like phenomenal advance 390 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,720 rate piece. And like the kind of guy where 391 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,400 if that team makes noise and goes farther than you think, 392 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,200 like he's just, you know, it's all it's all gravy, baby. 393 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,600 But yeah, Tooten. I mean, even after the game, 394 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:31,080 Liam Cohen had a comment where he said ball security, something 395 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,360 to the effect of like ball security is really important or 396 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,440 ball security is at a premium or something. 397 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,280 It's bad. It's not great for Tooten. 398 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,560 So sorry, Tooten Bros think it was a really good process pick. 399 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,400 The guy looks good. Unfortunate about the fumbles 400 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,000 and unfortunate timing for the injury on the game where he is 401 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,080 like taking over with the hot hand stuff, but that's just the 402 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,840 way she goes sometimes. All right, those are all the 403 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:02,480 running back notes I had on to the tight ends here. 404 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,880 All right, we got to, we got to start with the cover boy, I 405 00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:10,640 believe, Trico said. He has been the cover boy for us 406 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,280 three different weeks so far this season and that is our duck 407 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,680 footed king, Harold Fannon. I mean, what can we even say 408 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,600 about Harold Fannon? He is the Titan 6 on the season 409 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,880 in Titan premium and half PPR leagues, 24% targets per route 410 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,400 run. When you look at this chart, by 411 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,280 the way, and you look at the guys who are like up around that 412 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,120 level, we're talking like George Kittle numbers, you know, we're 413 00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:42,120 talking Zach Ertz numbers where these guys are getting peppered 414 00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:44,960 with targets are like a major focal point in their team's 415 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,640 offense. Harold Fannon is the number one 416 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,840 pass catcher on the Browns. Like there, there is no real 417 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,320 debate about it. Got some fun Fannon stats for 418 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,800 you here. Over the last six weeks, he has 419 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,200 had greater than 10 yards per reception in every week. 420 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,120 Seems pretty good. So I I brought that one up in 421 00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:12,080 particular because when you see his A dot here, it's 5.7 right. 422 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,440 So you think he's like kind of a shorter, you know, little check 423 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,880 down kind of guy. That's not really his game. 424 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,680 I mean he he catches balls downfield as well. 425 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:26,480 But when he does catch the short stuff, he is adding serious yak. 426 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,800 It is is the take away like Fannin? 427 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,760 Is he he's very, very good at the game. 428 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:39,080 I don't know how high he's gonna go next year, but it's probably 429 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,120 not high enough. I, I, I hope I can be really, 430 00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:46,360 really hand on fan in next year is what I'm getting at. 431 00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:51,360 But man, here's another fun fan in stat. 432 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,400 So 08 of the last 10 weeks. He's also had greater than 10 433 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,320 yards per reception. He's also averaged 6.5 targets 434 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,880 per game over this stretch. So he's he's doing it on volume 435 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,240 very efficiently. One of the tight ends I want to 436 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,320 see in my tight end room down the stretch. 437 00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:13,160 My biggest regret in regular season best ball is that I did 438 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,880 not take 100% herald fan and he was probably the very best pick 439 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,800 in the last round of drafts. Just that's that is the way that 440 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:28,360 it is OK, other tight ends. All right, you got to hear me 441 00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:30,280 out on this. I know there's many of you in 442 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,640 the audience that are have been scarred by this man, brutalized 443 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,320 by him. You know, you you've Martin 444 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,480 galed for many, many seasons on on this tight end and that's 445 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,120 Kyle Pitts. But you could do worse than Kyle 446 00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:45,440 Pitts right now. I'm just saying you're probably 447 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,640 OK to play him in DFS contests. Obviously you've been marked 448 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,480 safe from Kyle Pitts for playoff bestball. 449 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,040 You're not drafting any Falcons. So don't don't worry there. 450 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,440 But he's he's going to be a solid guy down the stretch here 451 00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,560 to close the season out. You know, if you got him in a 452 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,600 home league or something like that, he's a very strong 453 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,160 starting option. Over the last three games when 454 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,040 Kirk Cousins has started, he is averaging over 7 targets per 455 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,600 game and 65 yards per game. Pretty good. 456 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,200 His problem is he hasn't gotten in the end zone but once this 457 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,440 season. But I mean, you know that that 458 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,600 can change. So you get a Kyle Pitts 459 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,640 touchdown with the same usage he's been getting. 460 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,360 All of a sudden you're you're looking pretty good. 461 00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:32,320 So I'm, I'm pretty into Kyle Pitts down the stretch here. 462 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,080 Really it's, you know, like in DFS stuff, it's just gonna 463 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,640 depend on his cost and ownership and things like that. 464 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,840 I I, I don't think he's really flying too far under the radar, 465 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,800 you know, in salary cap DFS, but the the underlying metrics in 466 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,680 the profile is good. That's what I'm trying to say 467 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,520 with Kyle Pitts. All right. 468 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,640 And and while you're all here, you're here for the playoff best 469 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,720 ball specific lens of the tight end position because our friends 470 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,080 at DraftKings require you to have a a tight end in your 471 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,880 starting lineup for playoff best ball. 472 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,520 And that is a very different dynamic than Underdog who has 473 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,120 the W/T position where it just combines all pass catchers into 474 00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:17,040 one position and only requires 5 starting players in your roster 475 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,720 as opposed to the six on DraftKings. 476 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,360 Gotta tell you right now it it felt so much nicer to draft on 477 00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:26,920 Underdog because just that additional roster spot you need 478 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,600 and the fact that it it is a tight end and the pool of viable 479 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:35,120 tight ends is so small in the playoffs, it can be really hard 480 00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:38,760 to get a good team with six in the Super Bowl on DraftKings. 481 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:44,880 So I've put together a list of your vegetables that you need to 482 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,560 eat in playoff festival. These are guys that are going 483 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:53,880 later, but they're pretty good. And also here here's here's like 484 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,560 the they pair very well with some of the teams that don't 485 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,880 have their own strong tight end. So, for example, you're drafting 486 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,160 Rams. Obviously, you know, you'd 487 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,360 prefer to get like a Hunter Henry or a Dalton Kincaid or 488 00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:11,760 Evan Ingram, one of the tight ends from the three teams that 489 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,160 are, you know, the highest probability to make the Super 490 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,880 Bowl in the AFC. Those guys are contested, man. 491 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,720 You're not going to you don't just stroll into a DraftKings 492 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,400 playoff basketball draft and casually pick one of the tight 493 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,000 ends on the favorites to make the Super Bowl. 494 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,280 That's that's not how this works. 495 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,200 But you know, Hunter Henry, whatever, wherever you think 496 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,440 he's going to go, you know, by ADP, he's going earlier. 497 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,760 Like he's the guy you just always get sniped on. 498 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,560 So it's good to have these break glass in case of emergency tight 499 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,920 ends, not only because they are there to help you advance guys 500 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,000 with a buy out of round one. So like, if you did do Patriots 501 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,160 and they end up getting the buy, you need someone to help you 502 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,040 scoot Hunter Henry through or you did the Broncos and they get 503 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,760 a buy. You got to, you know, get Evan 504 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:02,800 Ingram through the the players that I'm looking at for that 505 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,280 that also have some of their own Super Bowl equity. 506 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,560 I'm not just drafting a guy who's totally totally dead to, 507 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,240 you know, randomly luck box his way into a Super Bowl. 508 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,520 AJ Barner pretty interesting. Hear me out. 509 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:21,600 If you look at where he's at on this chart, 23% TPRR, very low A 510 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:26,880 dot, but he he definitely is the clear number one tight end for 511 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,040 the Seahawks. You know you could do an Elijah 512 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,640 Arroyo thing if you've got a Seahawks specific bill, then you 513 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,800 get sniped on Barner. But Barner is basically free and 514 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,560 he is someone who there's a still a decent chance to 515 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,560 Seahawks get the buy. It's around 20% ish right now. 516 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:50,400 But Barner is 1 where you know he can he can make his way to 517 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,000 the Super Bowl and some outcomes for you. 518 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,160 And that that can be pretty valuable in that format. 519 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,320 And you should be able to fill your tight end spot the vast 520 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,400 majority of the time in week 1. You know, the 80% of the time 521 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,320 they don't get the buy. So I like Barner a lot as a, you 522 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,680 know, one of your eat your vegetables type tight ends, the 523 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,800 other one and this guy's steaming up. 524 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,520 I I think the steam is just like coming for this guy in general 525 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,080 since he's gotten back from injury. 526 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,880 We actually we kind of lucked out this week as far as like 527 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,880 steam on this player. It could have been even worse. 528 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,440 He had a touchdown called back due to penalty. 529 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,880 That's Brenton Strange. Honestly, I think Brenton 530 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,920 strange could have had a much bigger game than he had. 531 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,280 So it kind of keeps him under the radar. 532 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,040 But you know, he's got 10.7 A .21% targets per outrun. 533 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,520 Jags are not a lock, but very strong probability to make the 534 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,520 play offs. I mean, about as much of A lock 535 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,360 as you get at this point in the season without it being a lock, 536 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,200 you know, like the Patriots or, you know, the best teams in the 537 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,840 NFL like the Patriots, you know. But yeah, Bretton Strange. 538 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,120 Another one I'm very happy to click as one of my eat my 539 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,400 vegetables tight ends. And here's the last one, 540 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,080 probably the grossest of all. There's so much that's gross 541 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,920 with this guy. It's the fact that we were 542 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,000 pretty certain he was going to lose his job over the summer 543 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,400 when we were starting the season, but by the grace of 544 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,200 injury, he's managed to hang on to it throughout the season. 545 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,080 The team in general is kind of allergic to scoring fantasy 546 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,160 points. There's like no one really there 547 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,840 that that scores anything outside of their number one wide 548 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,760 receiver. Not even their running backs 549 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,560 score points. And so you're kind of, if you're 550 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,400 playing this full team to go to the Super Bowl, you find 551 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,280 yourself kind of up a Creek where you're a dog to advance 552 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,880 out of round one because you filled your roster full of total 553 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,560 pieces of shit that don't score any fantasy points. 554 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,560 And you do need to score fantasy points to advance, especially in 555 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,920 a one out of six structure like DraftKings. 556 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,680 But that tight end is Dalton Schultz. 557 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:02,960 So the Texans have decent odds of making the playoffs and and 558 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,720 they could very much make a run with how open the AFC is. 559 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,160 But I, I really prefer Dalton Schultz, not as like I'm 560 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,240 slamming all the Texans, but more along the lines of like 561 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,320 I've got Nico Collins and I'll throw Dalton Schultz on there as 562 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,880 well. And, and he'll help me advance 563 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,880 out of round one. And if the Texans, you know, 564 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,360 string together a couple wins, that's really big for me. 565 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,520 So I like him more as like a push me through the round one. 566 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,800 You know, if I've got a tight end on by type piece, but 567 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,480 there's definitely some teams I have where I have outs to Texans 568 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,320 in the Super Bowl. Maybe not my primary objective, 569 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,040 but definitely an outcome where I've still got a strong six 570 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,840 player Super Bowl roster. I mean as strong, strong being a 571 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,720 relative term because it it has like woody marks on it and 572 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,160 something. And that's not a in general, I 573 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,760 would not consider that a strong roster. 574 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,200 But you know, when when his team is one of the only two teams 575 00:31:55,200 --> 00:32:02,720 playing on on that slate, all of a sudden he becomes OK, all 576 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,640 right, I think that's all the tight end notes that I had here. 577 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,200 We will move on to the wide receiver chart. 578 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,640 No one cares about these backup tight ends. 579 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:14,840 We're just not making it a thing. 580 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:19,400 I mean, Evan Ingram is like the most overdrafted, but like by 581 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,480 necessity guy in playoff basketball right now that you 582 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,280 just like kind of have to if you're drafting Broncos Super 583 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:27,880 Bowl. It's like, I guess I'm taking 584 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,720 Evan Ingram. I like him better on DKI. 585 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,760 Mean I basically don't really click him on underdog a ton. 586 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,240 He'll he'll get into some of my Broncos onslaught stuff. 587 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,280 But where he has you just need to fill that tight in position 588 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,080 and it's like a warm body will do. 589 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,520 I mean, shit, I'm clicking like Davis Allen sometimes for RAM 590 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:51,240 stuff, you know, so you can do worse than than Evan Ingram. 591 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,560 All right, on to the receiver chart. 592 00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,600 Draco with a good comment in the chat. 593 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,760 Let's get rid of the backup tight end chart next year. 594 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,840 Yeah, you're probably right. We'll we'll think about it. 595 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,520 Maybe, maybe, Yeah, maybe we just specify guys that we we 596 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,000 want to add to the starters chart for guys that are like 597 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,880 young breakouts. All right, wide receiver chart. 598 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,680 So DK Metcalf did a thing. You can see him. 599 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,680 He's pretty near where the two median lines intersect. 600 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,120 He's in the quadrant of getting decent weighted targets per 601 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,840 route run, but like slightly less efficient than you'd expect 602 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:39,240 in his fantasy points per game. He's kind of draftable in 603 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,440 playoff basketball. Steelers look like they'll make 604 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,440 the playoffs. I I clicked them today, I hated 605 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:45,640 it. It's like, well that's a dead 606 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,600 team. I just wasted a roster spot with 607 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,120 DK Metcalf. But I checked our inputs in The 608 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,920 Sims. They're they're right. 609 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,160 He's he's fine. He can do worse than DK Metcalf. 610 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,680 Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me at all if after like 611 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,000 bemoaning that I drafted DK Metcalf on a team and I hated it 612 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,120 so much. If he's the guy who does like 613 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,159 the lad Mcconkey, you know advance rate stuff from last 614 00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:14,159 year where he just goes crazy and and absolutely nukes and 615 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,719 pushes a bunch of teams through and he's a one and done piece. 616 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,040 Seems par for the course for the game I love so dearly. 617 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,080 But anyway, yeah, Metcalf, he's draftable, I guess. 618 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,040 So Brian Thomas junior, Jacoby Myers. 619 00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:31,040 I, I I'll just talk about this. I think we talked about this in 620 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,760 the past. There's a flip inning right now. 621 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,679 Jacoby is like definitely the guy ahead of Brian Thomas junior 622 00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:39,080 right now. And that's the way I'm drafting 623 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:44,760 it in playoff basketball. I I think like that is how you 624 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,480 operate until we're proven different. 625 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,960 You know, we we held on to the prior of Brian Thomas junior 626 00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:54,520 from last year, you know, being such a superior talent and that, 627 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:55,719 you know, he was going to be the alpha. 628 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,840 But we've gotten enough enough sample under our belt this year 629 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,560 to maybe maybe Brian Thomas is a Mac Jones merchant or maybe 630 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,200 Trevor Lawrence is just really bad and he can't actually 631 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,360 utilize the best players on his team. 632 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,200 And he's much more comfortable with, you know, throwing in guys 633 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,800 like Jacoby Myers and Parker Washington, Bretton Strange and 634 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,960 all all that stuff. They can't hit the big plays to 635 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,680 Brian Thomas junior outside the numbers that that could be it. 636 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,240 They've, they've also deployed Brian Thomas junior differently 637 00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:29,240 this year. You know, the, the Liam Cohen 638 00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:31,440 offense. He's not just exclusively 639 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,280 running verticals. They're they're doing more 640 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:37,480 crossing stuff for him. I think in general, I, I 641 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,040 probably expect him to tick back up a little bit just 'cause I do 642 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,120 think the talent is really high and I think a lot of the early 643 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,520 season stuff was kind of marred by injury for him. 644 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,640 But I'm just not particularly bullish on him because I think 645 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,120 Trevor Lawrence is not very good. 646 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,720 But in playoff basketball, sometimes Trevor Lawrence is, in 647 00:35:56,720 --> 00:36:01,240 fact, the nuts because he wins a game and having players move on 648 00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:02,720 into the second round is very good. 649 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,640 And so Brian Thomas and Jacoby Myers, both interesting through 650 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:11,200 that lens. All right, next wide receiver 651 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,400 note I had. I think we're going to move on 652 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,760 to the next chart. Yeah. 653 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,920 So there's a couple couple playoff basketball warriors on 654 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,280 this chart. Nico Collins pretty damn 655 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,800 important piece right now. I would say so. 656 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,760 So here's the thing in playoff basketball, there's like a 657 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,680 drought at wide receiver points right now. 658 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,200 I feel like in the past it's been like there's a drought at 659 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,320 running back points where the teams that are in the playoffs, 660 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,880 you you just didn't have a good running back situation or 661 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,680 something feels like running back like, you know, they're a 662 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,520 dime a dozen now. Like I, I have drafts where I 663 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,800 just end up with like 3 workhorse running backs to the 664 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,920 first 3 rounds. I get something like CMC, Saquon 665 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,800 Barkley, Josh Jacobs, like all right, cool. 666 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,720 I hope someone leaves me Broncos so I can play Broncos with 667 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,280 whatever workhorse running back from the NFC makes it there, you 668 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:09,120 know, so running back is much easier to come by this year it 669 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,680 feels like. And so because of that, the wide 670 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:16,280 receiver position is kind of at a premium and it's really hard 671 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,080 to fill, especially on DraftKings where you don't have 672 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:24,840 the luxury of that WT aspect. It's really hard to fill out a a 673 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,400 starting wide receiver room in a lot of different Super Bowl 674 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,120 combos. Like if you're playing Eagles, 675 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,400 those Eagles receivers are contested, man. 676 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,600 And like, if you don't get both of them, you're relying on that 677 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,120 AFC team to have receivers that that are playing there. 678 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,840 And so if you're playing Bill's Eagles, it's like, do you even 679 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,800 want a Bill's receiver? Not really. 680 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,280 Like you're gonna pay way more than you probably should for 681 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,040 Khalil Shakur to get him on your team. 682 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,120 Like you're gonna sacrifice A meaningful piece to fit him into 683 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,200 your roster. And so you're just, you're kind 684 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,840 of, we're in this environment where you need to find these 685 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,720 receivers who can get you there because the receivers that are 686 00:38:05,720 --> 00:38:08,200 actually probably gonna end up scoring points in the Super Bowl 687 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,960 stink. And so you're like, I couldn't 688 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:16,800 actually get there by playing, you know, Keyshawn Booty or, you 689 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:22,280 know, Keon Coleman or Troy Franklin or all of these guys 690 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,400 who are like, if you have them on your roster and they're live 691 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,520 in the Super Bowl and you're like, yeah, this guy could get a 692 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,920 touchdown. If you have them and it's round 693 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,800 two and you're going against teams that still have like the 694 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,320 majority of their players alive and and they've got a Nico 695 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:40,120 Collins or a a Christian Watson even, or the Jags receivers I 696 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,640 just mentioned and or the Bucks receivers and you're like, Oh 697 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:50,040 no, my Troy Franklin is out projected by 6 or uh oh, my 698 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,480 Keyon Coleman is out projected by eight points. 699 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,880 You're just going to find yourself, you know, so far up 700 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,440 shit Creek without a paddle that it's going to be really tough to 701 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,920 advance. And so that's a really long 702 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,280 winded way of saying receivers like Nico Collins where you're 703 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,760 not super excited for Texans to play Texans to the Super Bowl, 704 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,880 but he could make a run like it's, it's, you know, reasonably 705 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,760 possible that they could go to the Super Bowl and at the very 706 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,520 least, like could win a game here or there. 707 00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:20,240 And he projects, well, it's like, OK, Nico Collins a pretty 708 00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:22,920 cool pick even if I'm not playing Texans Super Bowl. 709 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,440 And then I feel the same way about Christian Watson, where 710 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,680 he's not of the same echelon as Nico, but the Packers have 711 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,640 higher Super Bowl probability. And so when you weigh the fact 712 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,400 that Christian Watson's kind of emerging as the alpha there, or 713 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,000 at least like a Co alpha with Jaden Reed, who we'll get to on 714 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,720 the next chart, these these guys are just really important to 715 00:39:41,720 --> 00:39:43,760 sprinkle in in playoff basketball. 716 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,280 The other way that you can play it is through these two guys at 717 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,920 the top of the chart, Puku Nakua, Jackson Smith and Jigba, 718 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,160 where you're using them as like your anchor wide receiver. 719 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,840 And then you just need some loser in the second spot that's 720 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,640 going to like not give you a 0 as you're trying to, you know, 721 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,200 progress your way through the tournament. 722 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,520 And then when you get to the finals, you're just like, cool, 723 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,600 I've got the best projected receiver on the slate and a warm 724 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,640 body in my next one. I'm filling my flex with the 725 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,520 running back. Like we'll call it a day. 726 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,920 So wide receiver dynamic, pretty interesting in playoff 727 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,120 basketball right now. Definitely something I've been 728 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,440 noticing. It can be pretty hard to 729 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:21,800 navigate. I think there's a lot of people 730 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:27,440 drafting teams that look good to them on paper that are basically 731 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,760 dead to advance just because of how weak they are at the wide 732 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,240 receiver position because there's just not a lot of 733 00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:36,680 projection to go around. So you kind of got to get those 734 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:42,280 pieces where you can. This note I kind of touched on 735 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:48,000 the inshitification of Troy Franklin kind of looks like he 736 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,840 he gave back some of his role. I guess gave back is the wrong 737 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,800 phrasing. It looks like Pat Bryant might 738 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:58,080 be emerging. My read on this is it's probably 739 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,560 not as sticky as I would like. My initial reaction was like, Oh 740 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,160 my God, the Pat Bryant breakout's here. 741 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:07,560 It's over for for Troy Franklin. I think what's most likely is 742 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,560 we're getting this Sean Payton offense where it's like, hey, it 743 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,520 could be anybody any week. You know, it could be a Troy 744 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,200 Franklin week. It's kind of like Packers light, 745 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,560 you know, or it's like I think Cortland Sutton's the one who 746 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,240 scores the most points on average. 747 00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:25,840 But Troy Franklin could do it sometimes or, you know, 748 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,400 sometimes it could be Pat Bryant. 749 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,880 So I'm not ready to say Troy Franklin's dead, but I would 750 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:36,800 just like a couple weeks ago we were like Troy Franklin flipping 751 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,880 has happened. He is now ahead of Cortland 752 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,320 Sutton. And I think that might have been 753 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,640 a little premature. So I don't want to get out over 754 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,520 my skis now and say, oh, no, no, no. 755 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,720 Now it's Pat Bryant and the Pat Bryant era is here. 756 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,640 I think it's more like we're in a Sean Payton offense. 757 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,760 It's it's going to be spread out among these guys. 758 00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:58,240 I think by the time we get to the playoffs, like week one of 759 00:41:58,240 --> 00:42:03,720 the actual NFL playoffs, you probably see the projection 760 00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:06,960 leader for the Broncos as Courtland Sutton, followed very 761 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:11,400 closely by Troy Franklin and and Pat Bryant. 762 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,200 I, I, I don't think that there will be a big difference between 763 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,840 them. I think it's going to be kind of 764 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,480 a tight cluster there where there's not one guy separating 765 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:23,960 from the pack. So anyway, last guy I had a note 766 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,480 on Chris Godwin thinking he's back. 767 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,760 And by back I mean he went like 5 for 55. 768 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,280 So it wasn't like some spectacular performance or 769 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,280 anything. But he seems healthy, seems 770 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:38,000 back. I think he is on the menu for 771 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,040 playoff basketball. Bucks got a little less 772 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:45,120 appealing after their loss. But yeah, Godwin. 773 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:49,160 I'm like low key excited for Chris Godwin on my basketball 774 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:50,600 rosters heading into the playoffs. 775 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,440 I think he could, especially in PPRI, think he could be a guy 776 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,840 that is pretty fun to have on some rosters. 777 00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:02,080 So all right, last chart, last chart. 778 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:07,040 We're doing it only one note here and that's for the best 779 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,480 wide receiver on the Green Bay Packers. 780 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:14,200 That's Jayden MF and Reed because this guy comes back, 781 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,720 he's immediately very involved. You know, they're doing end 782 00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:21,200 rounds and stuff to him. He, he is the most dynamic 783 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,760 player on the field for them. It's not particularly close. 784 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,880 My, I'm like a, in case you haven't heard me talk about 785 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,040 Jaden Reed before, I am like a dyed in the wool Jaden Reed 786 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,680 truther. I loved him coming out of 787 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,920 college. He's really dynamic, like had 788 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,920 good, you know, return profile in college. 789 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,960 Like I, I, I'm just a sucker for the guys that can do the 790 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,400 receiver things, but also are very good in the return game. 791 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,880 Like there's pretty good signal there that you're just like good 792 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,880 at the game and good with the ball in your hand, which does 793 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,200 matter. The player that I comped into 794 00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:55,800 coming out is actually his closest neighbor on this chart 795 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,440 and that's Steph Diggs. The problem with Jaden Reed is 796 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,120 he's kind of slot trapped. He's in slot jail on the 797 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,600 Packers. And so you just don't get a full 798 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:09,480 complement of routes, which is partially why he is here on this 799 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,000 chart. Maybe you see an increase in 800 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,640 routes as he's back and and more healthy. 801 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,600 And I think I think I think as the Packers, like get into 802 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,280 situations where they have to pass more, they're pushed. 803 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,200 That's where we could see really fun Jayden Reid games. 804 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,040 So he is one of my favorite playoff basketball picks. 805 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,920 I loved him in the way too early stuff because he's going 806 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,720 undrafted. And like, if you told me, hey, 807 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,080 you know, you got to pick a Packers wide receiver who scored 808 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,840 the most points in week one of the playoffs. 809 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,400 Like I'm pretty sure I'm taking Jayden Reid or Christian Watson, 810 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,520 like even money and Christian Watson was drafted almost every 811 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,680 draft and Jaden Reed was going undrafted. 812 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,280 So he's one I really like a lot. He's basically I I kind of flip 813 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:57,720 him and Romeo Dobbs where Dobbs, he's just so much more likely to 814 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:02,120 if it's a Packers final, Packers make the Super Bowl, right? 815 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,880 The cards turn over. You're just a lot more likely to 816 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,360 see Romeo Dobbs on teams than you are Jaden Reed, at least the 817 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,200 way the market currently has it. That might change over the next 818 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,840 couple weeks, but if it holds and Romeo Dobbs is more 819 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,440 represented on Packers teams than Jayden Reid is, Gimme 820 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,880 Jayden Reid man. Like Gimme the guy who I I know 821 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:25,640 we've gotten Romeo Dobbs spike weeks. 822 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,880 Like believe me, I drafted a ton of Romeo Dobbs in regular season 823 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,320 basketball. He was woefully underpriced. 824 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:33,920 Really really helped my advance rates. 825 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,680 Big Romeo Dobbs fan, huge huge fan of his work. 826 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:42,600 But Jayden Reid is just like a different caliber wide receiver 827 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:47,680 than him in, in real life. And I'm hopeful that that can 828 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,480 translate to more fantasy points. 829 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,920 And I, I think that it can. And when you give that to me at 830 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,440 discounted ownership, I'm, I'm very excited about that. 831 00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:03,000 So that's, that's pretty much everything I had on receivers. 832 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,600 So yeah, you just got pure stream of consciousness sack 833 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,360 word vomit for the last 45 minutes. 834 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,360 Shows a lot tighter when there's not someone actually providing 835 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:20,240 valuable context and and insight to my, you know, off the cuff, 836 00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:25,160 like kind of brain synthesis of stats and game film that I've 837 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,480 watched. Yeah, definitely missing Draco. 838 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,600 This show feel like it is not the same show without him. 839 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:40,160 But I do think it would be fun to go ahead and RIP a playoff 840 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:45,280 basketball draft. So that feels like the only 841 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:52,120 right way to end sack chasing. Hopefully the only the inaugural 842 00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,280 and only episode of of sack chasing. 843 00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,680 We're jumping in a gauntlet. We got the sidekick up. 844 00:46:59,240 --> 00:47:01,440 We're just letting it RIP. Sorry I didn't give Chad a 845 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,320 warning. I I don't want to draft with any 846 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:09,680 of you. All right, we do have some 847 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,800 friends and family here. I do see player Q. 848 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:16,560 It's Neil Orfield in the in the lobby with us. 849 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:20,080 I'm a pretty big fan of the six spot, by the way, really like 850 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,680 the six. Think I like it a little bit 851 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,640 more on DraftKings than underdog. 852 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,760 Granted, I've only done less than 10 drafts on this new slate 853 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,440 of underdog and I've been done drafting there in the way too 854 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,720 early stuff for, you know, over a week now. 855 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:43,200 So a lot of stuff changes with the, you know, with the new 856 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:47,280 information that we get. But yeah, I like the sixth spot 857 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:51,080 quite a bit. It is a spot where I feel like 858 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,560 reading the room and kind of having a lay of the land allows 859 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:59,080 you to flex your your muscles a little bit and get the most out 860 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,000 of I KB S. We'll see how this draft shakes 861 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:09,080 out and if it's one where I need to IKB or not, a lot of the time 862 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,640 I'm pretty happy just doing top guy on the sidekick. 863 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:16,240 I will tell you it's very different drafting in a one out 864 00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:18,640 of six advance versus 2 out of 6 advance. 865 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,720 And so for people who haven't been, you know, if you're not 866 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:28,320 very, very unwell and you haven't, you know, been all over 867 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:32,320 the new contest that dropped, I realize that probably should 868 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,720 zoom in a little here if you're in chat. 869 00:48:35,720 --> 00:48:39,200 And if this is still too small, please let me know. 870 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:47,200 But all right, well, I think we get a really easy spot here. 871 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,960 I think we're going to end up with a Devante Adams, Kyron 872 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,160 Williams double tap. This is 1 out of 6. 873 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,960 As I was saying, one out of six. A lot harder to advance the BI 874 00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:02,120 teams. So we're going to go ahead and 875 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:06,520 queue up Devante Adams here. I'd expect to get Kyron Williams 876 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,520 at the top some of the time. I would also expect James Cook 877 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,760 to come to the top. I'd expect Josh Jacobs some 878 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,800 amount of the time as well. And basically playing it for an 879 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:19,000 AFC quarterback. We do get James Cook and that is 880 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,240 a like help me advance a little bit easier kind of thing that 881 00:49:23,240 --> 00:49:26,320 you'd see more often in one out of 6, less often in two out of 882 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,000 six. So like the smaller contests 883 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,880 like the the mitten and the little mitten on underdog. 884 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,280 I haven't checked the high stakes structures yet, but I 885 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,440 assume those are also 2 of 6, maybe even 3 of 6. 886 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:42,120 But on those you'll see more of this like let's try and and go 887 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,520 for the kill. Let's go all Rams all the time, 888 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:48,520 baby. The reason that I think that the 889 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:54,240 sidekick and The Sims still like this where, hey, I'm going to 890 00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:58,040 take a bi player in a one of six advance, which is it's a little 891 00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:59,640 dicey. You know, you're you're setting 892 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:03,480 yourself up for a hard road to get out of round one is that 893 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,640 phenomenon I talked about earlier where wide receiver is 894 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,320 at a premium, right? It's not quite as bad on 895 00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,200 underdog as it is on DraftKings, but like there's still a pretty 896 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:16,160 significant tier break. And so by doing Adams first, 897 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,720 it's like, all right, if I make it to these future rounds, I'm 898 00:50:18,720 --> 00:50:22,200 really strong a receiver. Let me get James Cook because 899 00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:26,800 Kyron is good, but I don't need to pigeonhole myself into Rams 900 00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,840 Super Bowl here. I I more prefer doing the like, 901 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:35,160 let me just slam Rams Super Bowl like I'll go puka plus Stafford 902 00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:39,880 plus if any of them make it back to me with puka in a one of six 903 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,160 where it's like if this makes the finals, I'm just winning all 904 00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:44,920 the money. It's going to be so hard to get 905 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,440 a three player Rams combo through. 906 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,560 And so I think I'm more inclined to do it on that side of the 907 00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,600 board where here, I'll mix it in The Sims will do it at the 908 00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,480 frequency that, you know, that it pops up basically is very 909 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,800 good in The Sims. And since we're sampling from, 910 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,440 you know, a larger set of Sims, we're taking a subset. 911 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,600 You'll get some natural variation in your drafts. 912 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,120 Now, Neil is going to take my Drake May here, which is going 913 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:15,320 to make me very sad. Yannick might take Drake May, 914 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:16,880 too. That'd be a a decent spot for 915 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:17,560 him. Yeah. 916 00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:19,560 Where he starts with the Barclay, A.J. 917 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,360 Brown. I also like what Yannick did 918 00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,440 there where he tries to push Jalen Hertz. 919 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,160 That's how you can get some really strong stuff. 920 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,560 Yeah, no, I, I thought it might do this where it's going to have 921 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,200 me do Bonex. There's a couple different ways 922 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:38,320 you could take this. You could do Devonta Smith and 923 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,240 Bonex and just like make sure that you have really strong 924 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,680 receiver production because like I said, the receiver stuff is 925 00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:49,360 tough to come by. I think because the running back 926 00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,680 that we have is an AFC running back and it's going to be hard 927 00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,200 for me. I, I can't get a Rams running 928 00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,040 back right? So to keep Rams Super Bowl 929 00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,160 alive, which is the highest probability on the NFC side, I 930 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,160 kind of need RJ Harvey, right? Otherwise I'm basically forgoing 931 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,280 Rams Super Bowl. I'm saying like, hey, Devante 932 00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:09,520 Adams gets me to the finals. He might be alive for all the 933 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:14,160 rounds, but the but the finals. But for this, we're going to 934 00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,040 take Harvey. I agree with The Sims. 935 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,480 Shocker that the guy who helped with The Sims agrees with The 936 00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,400 Sims that are based on his inputs. 937 00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,400 But yeah, I think this is the best path where now I basically 938 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:31,120 am set up for bills go far, but I don't really I didn't need to 939 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,240 spend the premium capital on Josh Allen. 940 00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:36,400 We actually like Josh Allen a little bit more now than we did 941 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,480 if you were drafting with a sidekick earlier. 942 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,520 It's partially the one of six stuff like, hey, it's it's a lot 943 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,800 easier to advance out of round one if you have Josh Allen, you 944 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,640 know, like if you have the quarterback that projects for 945 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,880 the most points that do be helpful. 946 00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,960 But yeah, I I like this setup that we have here. 947 00:52:55,400 --> 00:53:00,920 We'll see if my my thesis that I posited earlier about Broncos 948 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,200 kind of going uncontested after you take a piece holds. 949 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,280 I'm hopeful that it does. It would be very good for me. 950 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:11,400 It does not tricky 8181 takes Cortland Sutton. 951 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:15,080 But we talked about, you know, being being fairly price 952 00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:19,280 sensitive on Broncos pieces, especially their pass catchers 953 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:23,360 and underdog. Again, I'm not so down bad for 954 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,400 receiver as I would be on DraftKings because I have that 955 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:31,080 WT position. So this Blake Quorum flipping. 956 00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:35,280 This is a great spot to kind of explain what's going on with The 957 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,880 Sims here. Blake Quorum pops to the top 958 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,640 because he's the Most Valuable Player for me because I'll get a 959 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:45,000 Broncos pass catcher. I really only need one to pair 960 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,440 with Adams. But this quorum thing really 961 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,600 helps me in the Super Bowl because that's basically like 962 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:55,520 last call for the Rams, right? I could try to push quorum. 963 00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:59,960 I'm probably not getting Franklin through. 964 00:53:59,960 --> 00:54:02,120 I don't honestly don't know what the fuck this guy's doing. 965 00:54:03,240 --> 00:54:04,480 So it's a little concerning for me. 966 00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,120 I don't care about Bucky so much. 967 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,160 I think there's other running backs that can help me advance. 968 00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:16,120 I'm just worried about losing the receivers. 969 00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:20,920 So let's go ahead and queue Quorum because if I lose Quorum, 970 00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:22,760 I'm pretty sad. He is the most valuable. 971 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,280 I think I'm going to end up doing Quorum and Franklin 972 00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,240 because I don't need to do these other advance rate guys. 973 00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:34,960 And wow, it's like the sensor in my head because these guys, like 974 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,160 they're just not a huge difference between them for me. 975 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:41,840 It's like Swift and Bucky can be oppo my Broncos in the Super 976 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,960 Bowl, and that's why they're higher than ETN and Hampton. 977 00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:49,560 I mean, that's one of the many factors that makes them higher. 978 00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:55,440 But yeah, I do think I want to take Franklin because otherwise 979 00:54:55,440 --> 00:55:00,320 I risk kind of getting pretty thin at receiver at Broncos. 980 00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,240 But I'm I'm pretty happy with this. 981 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,800 The Jordan Whittington thing. I I don't really know about this 982 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:09,520 one. Yeah. 983 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,800 I I would expect him to not not stay on the top as we get 984 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,640 further. I'm I'm pretty into the idea of 985 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:19,680 like the Nico Collins, you know, I'm not as into IGBUCA. 986 00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,520 We we've lowered his sin inputs recently. 987 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,760 I think that with Evans coming back and Godwin, you know, 988 00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:30,320 starting to get to full strength and the the dip in Igbuca's 989 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:34,360 efficiency, I I do think it's like meaningful, you know, I 990 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,760 still think he's a pretty good player And and a lot of it is 991 00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,640 just variance right now. It's not that IGBUCA all of a 992 00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:44,080 sudden became bad, but I think that previously it was really 993 00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:49,000 easy to, you know, look at his trajectory as a young rookie and 994 00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,320 be like, Oh my gosh, this guy is going to the moon. 995 00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,120 And I think we just want to take a little bit more of a measured 996 00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:58,960 approach on IGBUCA here. Pat Bryant. 997 00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:03,040 I'm pretty, pretty into. There's one thing that you'll 998 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:07,840 probably notice here is The Sims are basically playing this like 999 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:15,120 one of either the Rams or the Broncos do not get the buy 1000 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,680 because right now I have 5 pieces between those. 1001 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:24,120 And so I think the way that it's going to play it is that Broncos 1002 00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,240 do not get the buy. And so we're going to take Pat 1003 00:56:27,240 --> 00:56:30,840 Bryant here. There's there's just I can get a 1004 00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,680 Jacoby Myers or Brian Thomas or whatever. 1005 00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:38,600 Did this guy end up taking a maybe I can maybe I can push Pat 1006 00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:42,600 Bryant. Let's let's do the Jordan love 1007 00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:47,040 thing because I do need a quarterback and I could actually 1008 00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:51,400 open up some Packer stuff. I saw Jaden Reed go and Watson, 1009 00:56:53,080 --> 00:57:01,120 but I could do a Dobbs. Igbuka is here deciding if I 1010 00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:07,560 want to IKB this. I don't think I'd get Iguca 1011 00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:11,560 back, probably get Pat Bryant back, but he is a really 1012 00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,800 important piece to me. I think I'm just going to let 1013 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:17,320 the room dictate what my advance rate stuff is going to be. 1014 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:23,920 You know what helps me get this through and and we'll just go 1015 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,080 from there because there's there's a couple things I could 1016 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:31,640 do. But yeah, the the Julio 1017 00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,120 McLaughlin. So if you look at the Bronc 1018 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,160 right now for Broncos, I have 1234. 1019 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:41,200 So the reason a player like Julio McLaughlin pops up is 1020 00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,840 because he is a player that would project for points in a 1021 00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,520 Broncos Super Bowl. And in the outcomes where you 1022 00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:52,560 get a Broncos Super Bowl, having five Broncos is an enormous EV 1023 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,800 boost where I'm no longer constrained to the conditional 1024 00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,920 probability of Broncos and Rams, right? 1025 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,600 All of a sudden I get the entire set of outcomes where Broncos 1026 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,760 Super Bowl happens. So that's why 1/5 Bronco is kind 1027 00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:10,000 of sick. This is 1 where I might just, 1028 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,840 I'm going to read the room and see how likely I think I am to 1029 00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:16,040 advance. There's not a lot of dead stuff 1030 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:20,160 happening, like people aren't drafting, you know, Bengals or 1031 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:26,560 anything really silly. I mean, there's some silly 1032 00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,600 tricky tricky's being a little bit silly here. 1033 00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:38,520 Like probs dead, probs dead. Unlikely to play if my Rams get 1034 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:45,640 a bye. He's still he still has AI mean 1035 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,320 like he has a probably the same probability that I do to 1036 00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:53,080 advance, you know, so he's far from not a threat to me and like 1037 00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:57,440 this is this is scary to me in the one hole. 1038 00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:02,120 So I think this is a spot where I probably IKB the sidekick and 1039 00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,720 say hey, I I need help advancing sidekick. 1040 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,440 I need to I need to do the gross thing. 1041 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:15,360 I probably need to do the the DK Metcalf and I could do the Brian 1042 00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:24,280 Thomas man, The someone had to take Romeo Dobbs for me, huh? 1043 00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,080 Yeah. And he takes Jacoby Meyers. 1044 00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:32,000 That's a good pick. All right, I'll take my 1045 00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,280 medicine. Take my DK Metcalf medicine. 1046 00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,120 I wonder if Jalen Warren shoots up here. 1047 00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:40,680 You probably yeah. And then to hit my starting 1048 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:42,440 running back spot. Is that easier than wide 1049 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:46,840 receiver? So I'm looking at God, I mean, 1050 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,080 so I have to have Broncos not buy. 1051 00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,840 So if it's Broncos not buy I'm I'm Harvey Cook. 1052 00:59:56,160 --> 01:00:00,640 So yeah, it's Brian Thomas here. It's the better, better one for 1053 01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,400 me. And and the reason that the the 1054 01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,280 sidekick is not, you know, particularly carrying there is 1055 01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:09,560 it's it's probably thinking. Hey, dude, you're dead. 1056 01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:13,240 What it's actually telling me here is, buddy, you're dead. 1057 01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:17,040 If the Rams get a bye too. And I'm telling it no, no, no. 1058 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:22,160 I think, I think I'm willing to do the thing where just the 1059 01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:26,320 Broncos don't get the bye and the Rams get the bye and I make 1060 01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:30,240 it through. It's it's a little thin. 1061 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,440 And So what it was trying to have me do and be like, dude, 1062 01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:34,960 just play it. Play it like neither these 1063 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,560 suckers get to buy. And and you know, when you, when 1064 01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:42,720 you hit that outcome, which by the way, not that crazy 52% of 1065 01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:47,480 the time or 48% of the time, the Rams are active. 62% of the time 1066 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:51,280 the Broncos are active. So these are two mostly 1067 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,200 uncorrelated outcomes, right? There's probably some 1068 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,720 correlation between who they play and their schedules or 1069 01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,080 whatever. Could be some some small stuff 1070 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:02,680 there, but that's like 30% of the time that I just have like 1071 01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,120 the monster nuts when I go. Julie McLaughlin, Jordan 1072 01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:09,680 Whittington. I bet you that when I take Julie 1073 01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:13,560 McLaughlin, if I were to Jordan Whittington goes away because he 1074 01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:16,080 becomes much less valuable then for me. 1075 01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,920 Where it's like this is just one more hurdle for Jordan 1076 01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:23,280 Whittington to clear to crack my starting line up there. 1077 01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,560 Anyway, reasonably happy with this one. 1078 01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:30,600 There were definitely some things that could have gone 1079 01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,760 better for us. Like getting back Romeo Dobbs 1080 01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:38,640 would have been good also like this guy getting multiple 1081 01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:42,720 quarterbacks and Purdy going right before us was less than 1082 01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:46,400 ideal like this. I mean, Neil is probably using 1083 01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:48,840 the sidekick because this Purdy Jennings double tap is something 1084 01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:52,720 that would have been pretty cool for me, although it's not great 1085 01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:56,720 because I I don't have CMC and so I'm not not like really live 1086 01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,280 for a 49ers in Broncos Super Bowl. 1087 01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,280 So I do think that the best thing was this Jordan Love and 1088 01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,320 then pray for Romeo Dobbs to come back. 1089 01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,280 I could have also I KB D and said I'm going to get Pat Bryant 1090 01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,160 back because no one drafts Pat Bryant except the really sick 1091 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:15,440 people and I'll just take Romeo Dobbs here and then that gives 1092 01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:19,200 me an additional Super Bowl out. The other reason Jaleel is 1093 01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:23,400 really cool here is it makes it so I have this headless or 1094 01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:26,440 rather like naked Jordan love Super Bowl where it's all 1095 01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:30,920 Broncos plus love and you basically are adding some equity 1096 01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:34,760 to your to your team when you end up with a Packers and 1097 01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:40,120 Broncos Super Bowl anyway. All right, I think think that is 1098 01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:48,840 going to do it here for this solo edition of Stat chasing AKA 1099 01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:53,000 Stack chasing. Thank you to everyone who tuned 1100 01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:55,920 in. Wishing my Co host a speedy 1101 01:02:55,920 --> 01:03:00,440 recovery. Good luck to everybody in your 1102 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,760 best fall playoffs. I will be pulling for you unless 1103 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,680 you are in the pod with me and then I will be wishing you a 1104 01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:12,880 very happy 2nd place finish. And it's, you know, great, great 1105 01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,600 news if we're in, you know, a pod where, you know, tournament 1106 01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:17,040 structure where two people advance. 1107 01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:20,560 But yeah. And and if you do want to draft 1108 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,240 some playoff best ball with sidekick, head over legendary 1109 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,080 upside and check out the sidekick there. 1110 01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,840 We've got lots of playoff basketball content coming. 1111 01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:34,480 And yeah, that'll do it. I will see you all next week. 1112 01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:36,880 Same time, same place. Good luck everybody.
