We'll give you some guys to roll 13 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,360 the dice on. We'll answer questions that are 14 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,640 tough, nuts to crack, and more. Make sure you tune in tomorrow 15 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,360 to Fantasy football almost daily. 16 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,560 Since this is the DFS show, let's remind you that these two 17 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,800 guys you're listening to actually help run a daily 18 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,800 fantasy sports site called Fanball. 19 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,640 Fanball isn't a giant like the other sites, but you can win 20 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,200 real money against real people. This week we've got a 5 by 5 21 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,080 contest on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. 22 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,480 And of course we've got that big old Peacock as our normal Sunday 23 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,000 crown jewel. It's $20 to play, top prize of 24 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,240 1000 bucks, and you best of all, you're only playing against 199 25 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,240 other people, not 199,000 like some other sites. 26 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,760 All Fan Ball games are super flex too, which means you can 27 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,640 double stack those quarterbacks and receivers if you'd like. 28 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,880 And if you use the promo code almost, when you make a deposit 29 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,680 to Fan Ball will match your deposit up to 20 bucks just for 30 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,840 being a fan of the show. That's like a free Peacock 31 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,320 entry. Today we dive deep into the 32 00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:44,640 Sunday slate for Week 16 on fanball. 33 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,360 But first, let's kick things off with some tape jamming music 34 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,320 from the Sports Hub Games Network. 35 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,640 This is fantasy football almost daily with your host Matt 36 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:13,600 Harrison. Good afternoon, everybody. 37 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,120 My name is Matt Harrison. This is fantasy football almost 38 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,120 daily today with me, Trevor Jones, a man I feel like I have 39 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,560 to console 'cause he probably lost a member of his family this 40 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,280 week and Micah Parsons going down with that ACL tear. 41 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,480 Trevor, how are you holding up? Yes, the. 24 hours post Sunday 42 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,200 was, you know, a little bit of a PTSD maybe, but we're back on 43 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,840 the we're back on the saddle and we got to move forward here for 44 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,880 the people. How do you feel about going to 45 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,160 Soldier Field on Saturday? I was surprised to see there's 46 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,760 still 1 1/2 point favorites. Should be a good game, but I 47 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,960 don't know. No, Mike Parsons is about as 48 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,560 game changing as it gets. Yeah, it was tight last time 49 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,720 around and now it's even tighter. 50 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,600 Today we're going to preview Week 16 from ADFS perspective on 51 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,400 the show. And while we generally use those 52 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,800 fanball figures, most of the information could be used on any 53 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,600 of the other salary cap sites. The salaries aren't that wildly 54 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,920 off between 1:00 and the other. So before we do that, let's 55 00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:17,880 review some of the relevant NFL news from around the league news 56 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:25,360 team. A symbol we already talked about 57 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,360 Micah Parsons, but another torn ACL this weekend was Patrick 58 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,160 Mahomes, so Gardner Minshew might throw the last touchdown 59 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,280 pass to Travis Kelsey in his career. 60 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,880 Gardner Minshew might also steal Taylor Swift to get away from 61 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,840 Kelsey, though. The mustache is too much. 62 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,800 Just too much over. Oh yeah. 63 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,080 Oh yeah. Yeah, I mean, that guy's got 64 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,440 swag. He does. 65 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,400 He does. It seems like the Tua era in 66 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,600 Miami is over as he's been benched for Quinn Ewers, but 67 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,040 it's actually coming off Tua's best game in a month and change. 68 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,360 He had 253 yards and two scores. Did have a pick in Pittsburgh on 69 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,080 Monday night. Ewers has a really soft landing 70 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,040 spot at home against the Bengals this week. 71 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,000 Yeah, I guess I'm a little surprised they didn't turn to 72 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,760 Zach Wilson. And I know Zach Wilson is a 73 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,560 little more of a known commodity than the seventh round rookie, 74 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,800 but yeah, seventh round rookie. It's that's a big ask. 75 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,280 There we go. Devante Adams has not been ruled 76 00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:25,640 out for Thursday's game against the Seahawks, but his hamstring 77 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,240 and knee injuries forced him out of last Sunday's game against 78 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,280 the Lions. So I don't know if I believe 79 00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:35,360 that they can get Devante Adams patched up enough to go in this 80 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,560 one. Yeah, hamstring on a short week. 81 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,400 I don't. I'd be surprised if he plays. 82 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,120 Hamstrings a couple of week injury usually and although this 83 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,760 is a big one for the Rams against the Seahawks and the 84 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,560 Seahawks if they win take over the number one seed in the NFC. 85 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,600 It it feels like the Rams have aspirations of going further in 86 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,120 the play offs and they might need to kind of protect Adams a 87 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,880 little bit here. Bam Knight will miss the rest of 88 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,480 the season with an ankle injury. So Michael Carter's about all 89 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,440 that's left in Arizona. Yikes. 90 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,720 We'll, we'll get to Mr. Carter later. 91 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,320 Yeah, Christian Watson looks iffy at best to play Saturday 92 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,440 against the Bears. He left with a chest injury 93 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,600 against Denver, ended up in the hospital for evaluation. 94 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,240 Was he just out of breath in the high altitude weather? 95 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,840 It might have been between, yeah, taking the shot to the 96 00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:28,400 ribs and then the low oxygen. One of his former teammates, 97 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,080 Alan Lazard, was cut by The Jets, and he says he's hoping to 98 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,680 latch on with a playoff team. Ring, ring, ring. 99 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,480 Hello. Oh, it's the Steelers. 100 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,360 Yeah. I'll come by for a visit. 101 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,680 You know that's going to happen. Well we we, they just added MVS 102 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,320 and Adam Thielen. So how many like 35 year old 103 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,760 receivers can they have on one? Monster Aaron Rodgers buddies, 104 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,040 man, they'll cut Thielen. Yeah, that's probably true. 105 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,880 All right, the Texans have a new running back, Jawar Johnson. 106 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,720 Jawar Jordan, I should say, he was officially added to the 107 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,840 active roster. He made his debut last week. 108 00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:10,720 He had 15 carries for 101 yards. Woody Marks has an ankle injury, 109 00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:13,520 and he is a little iffy to go this week. 110 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,320 And Nick Chubb already missed last week with a rib injury. 111 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,480 He's probably not going to go. So Jawar Jordan is a guy who 112 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:25,720 should be on your radar for sure against the Raiders this week. 113 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,840 It's a great spot. It is. 114 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,600 All right, before we get into the next stuff, let's hear from 115 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,400 Maj. about what's going on at Game Blazers this week. 116 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,440 Another week at Game Blazers, another $36,000 in free roll 117 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,160 cash prizes on the line. It's NFL Week 16, and whether 118 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,080 your fantasy team is primed for the title or Crash and Burn 119 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,320 weeks ago, you can still build your ultimate fantasy team at 120 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,240 Game Blazers and compete for cash prizes every week. 121 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,760 Use a referral code FFAB when you register and you can get a 122 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,800 free starter pack and a free rare pack, a combined value of 123 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,120 50 bucks. Once you on board, you'll also 124 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,960 get a spent five get 50 offer for two more rare packs. 125 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:11,600 learnmore@gameblazers.com. All right, Trevor, it's time to 126 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,400 dig into Week 16. No buys again this week. 127 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,920 The Rams and Seahawks play Thursday night. 128 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,480 If you want a preview of that game, check out yesterday's 129 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,040 podcast episode. And the Eagles play the 130 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,560 Commanders and the Packers played the Bears on Saturday. 131 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,040 Those teams are eliminated from the Sunday slate, but you can 132 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,200 play them in a special Saturday 5 by 5 on fanball. 133 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,080 And for those of you watching this on either YouTube or 134 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,920 Spotify, I'm throwing up the Saturday 5 by 5 on fan ball. 135 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,640 I know the graphics is Sunday, but this one's the Saturday 1 136 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:49,320 for sure. Trevor, any values stick out to 137 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,720 you on the Saturday 5 by 5 between those four teams. 138 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,680 Yeah. So it sounds like Roma Dunze 139 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,960 will be out for Saturday with I think a stress fracture in his 140 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,040 foot from last week. Luther Burden is kind of coming 141 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,360 on pretty well. I think Luther Burden could see 142 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,360 a lot of targets without Rome on Saturday night. 143 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,760 So I like Luther Burden there, and I think you almost have to 144 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,480 play Saquon at $5. Like he, yeah, I don't know. 145 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,000 It seems like he's gonna be the highest warning guy in the 146 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,280 slate, and you just need raw points there, so. 147 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,600 Yeah, absolutely. I do like Saquon a lot here. 148 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:26,520 I think Romeo Dobbs at a buck is a guy who might pop off. 149 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,640 He hasn't done so in a while, but it looks like we're going to 150 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,400 be missing Christian Watson in that game, which just opens up a 151 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,799 little bit of time for for Dobbs to get out there. 152 00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:38,360 And he's he's had a three touchdown game before. 153 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,440 It wouldn't shock me if Dobbs had a good game against the 154 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,960 Bears. Yeah, definitely some targets 155 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,880 opened up with Watson likely to be out. 156 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,080 I know it hasn't happened yet for Matthew Golden. 157 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,280 Maybe without Christian Watson he's kind of the new deep 158 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,680 threat, but I I agree I'd probably go with Dobbs over 159 00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:58,760 Golden to read in that spot. Yeah, all right. 160 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,360 That's the Saturday guys that are up there. 161 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,760 By the way, Monday night, Jonathan Taylor plays against 162 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,520 Christian McCaffrey. So those two stud runners are 163 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,000 off the board as well. And there's really no marquee 164 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,320 point bonanzas like last week. The highest over under on the 165 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,480 slate is the Bengals and Dolphins game at only 50 1/2. 166 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,920 And the Dolphins are now starting Quinn Ewers, so that 167 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,920 number could go down a little bit as we get closer to Sunday. 168 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,400 So Trevor, let's start with a player who's going to be in 169 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,720 close to half the line UPS you make this week. 170 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,840 Yeah, we'll just stick in that same game, Tomane Chan, 8100, 171 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,000 home for Cincinnati. Like you just mentioned, it's 172 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,800 one or two games on the slate with the Vegas total over 52. 173 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,520 It was benched. That doesn't really matter to 174 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,280 me. He was playing so poorly that 175 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,800 it's not really an issue. He'd only broke 175 passing 176 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,400 yards once in his last five. Obviously we know since these 177 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,760 defense is horrific against tight ends, they're only 178 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,440 slightly better against running backs. 179 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,640 They've allowed most combo yards per game to the position at 175 180 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,440 and the fourth most touchdowns with 18. 181 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,160 Already ATM has got a huge target share for a running back 182 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,280 at 20%. Only CMC is higher among backs. 183 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,880 He had 18 touches last week against Pittsburgh, which was 184 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,320 his lowest in a full game, or at least a game that he started and 185 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,400 finished since Week 7. Otherwise, before that he had 20 186 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,640 touches and five straight prior to the injury he suffered 187 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,920 against The Jets. I like HJN a little bit more 188 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,800 than Gibbs in the 8K running back area and Dijon just because 189 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,160 Dijon and Gibbs have secondary runners who are more of a threat 190 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,720 to take some some points away from from their guys. 191 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,480 That is true. Speaking of 18, I've got a 192 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,600 player who had 18 targets last week is my guy in half my 193 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:35,960 lineups. It's Aman Ross St. 194 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,200 Brown 7900 at home against Pittsburgh. 195 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,200 Like I said, 18 targets last week. 196 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,800 Caught 13 of them for 164 yards and two scores against a pretty 197 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,800 good Rams secondary. By the way, that should be 198 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,240 noted. The Lions basically need to win 199 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,000 out to stay alive in the playoff hunt. 200 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,640 They got Pittsburgh this week, Minnesota next week and the 201 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,840 Bears in Week 18. When you need wins, you go to 202 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,280 your bread and butter. That's Sun God and that's Gibbs. 203 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,800 It's going to be those two over and over again in this game. 204 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,040 By the way, the Steelers defense has allowed the second most 205 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,920 receptions to wide receivers this year, so volume for Sun God 206 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,040 shouldn't be an issue here. I like him a lot. 207 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,920 All right, Trevor, who's your big fade of the week? 208 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,480 A player that's highly priced that you wouldn't put in any of 209 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,840 your line UPS. Yeah, I think I've gone pretty 210 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,080 successfully at this guy a few times. 211 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,440 Derrick Henry is 7000 at home against New England. 212 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,520 General rule of thumb in DFS, you're looking at kind of 3X 213 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,080 your salary at 7 K. He's hit value 3X value just 214 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,280 three times all year. Not since week 12. 215 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,760 And that was against The Jets, who have one of the worst rushed 216 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,480 defenses in the league. Although it is D Hember King 217 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,560 Henry hasn't scored in either of his December games. 218 00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:46,640 He only saw 11 carries last week despite Baltimore controlling 219 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:47,960 the game and winning 24. Nothing. 220 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,280 In fact, Keaton Mitchell, the backup to Henry, saw more snaps 221 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,680 than Henry for the full game. It was actually getting early 222 00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:56,920 down run work in the first half. It wasn't just a end of game 223 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,320 blowout situation. So Henry's not going to get. 224 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,440 Crashed for the playoffs, you know, the playoffs that they're 225 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:02,560 not going to make, that they might. 226 00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:04,760 Not make right. So if Henry's not going to get 227 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,120 the rock win, they're like up by three touchdowns and then he's 228 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,880 not going to. We know he's not going to get a 229 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,440 big workload in negative game scripts. 230 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,640 I don't really know, like when he's supposed to score points. 231 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,240 It's also a brutal match up. Patriots ranked top three and 232 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,000 fewest rushing yards and touchdowns allowed to the 233 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,200 position. Yeah, he was. 234 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,720 He was my, my, my big runner last week. 235 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,600 And that did not work out at all for me. 236 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,120 I barely, barely scraped by in in one of our internal fan ball 237 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,000 contests. Got that third place, 20 bucks. 238 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,320 Yeah, All right. A player that I don't really 239 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,400 like and won't have in my lineups this week is Travis ETN. 240 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,520 He's the most expensive player I would not start. 241 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,880 He's 6700 at Denver and call it a hunch, Trevor, but I don't 242 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,320 think he can replicate what he did through the air last week. 3 243 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,160 catches, 73 yards, 3 touchdowns receiving. 244 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,280 That's like a 1998 Randy Moss Thanksgiving light game right 245 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,040 there. I don't think he's going to do 246 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,480 that again. He didn't run well though 247 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,360 against the struggling Jets run defense, only 12 carries for 32 248 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,400 yards on the ground. Denver in Denver this week, 249 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,480 their top five or sorry, top eight in every category against 250 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,240 opposing running backs. They're arguably the best run 251 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:23,200 defense in the league, and they only allow 2.7 receptions per 252 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,920 game to opposing back fields. So if you're looking at 3 253 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,760 catches, you better get 3 touchdowns on those 3 catches. 254 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:36,120 Again, I it just doesn't set up as a good match up for Etni. 255 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,640 Think I'd leave him on the bench. 256 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,640 All right, who's your favorite quarterback of the week? 257 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,400 Let's start on the expensive side, Trevor. 258 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,960 Yeah, this might be the number one quarterback I've recommended 259 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,240 this year. Jacoby Brissett, Mr. Cash game 260 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,920 himself 6K at home against Atlanta. 261 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,000 He's got 9 starts this year. He's averaging 48 drop backs per 262 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,200 game. The next closest quarterback was 263 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,400 Patrick Mahomes at 42. So you're getting like an extra 264 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,040 drives worth of passes in every game, which is just massively 265 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,320 valuable. And Brissett starts, he's got 266 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,960 multiple passing touchdowns at eight of nine. 267 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,960 Lowest yardage total was 249. So you're almost starting the 268 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,320 week with a 16 point floor. In Atlanta's last three games, 269 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,320 they've allowed finishes of QB 9, QB four. 270 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:18,480 And then Baker was like QB 13 or 14, but he did score 275 and two 271 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,000 or had 275 yards and two touchdowns on Thursday night. 272 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,080 Also, if Arizona has just beat the hell at running back this 273 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,760 year, they're now down. Trey Benson, Michael Trey 274 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,240 Benson, Bam Knight and. James Conner, yeah. 275 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,040 So we just, we're kind of on RB4. 276 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,560 The plan will be to continue to throw the piss out of the ball. 277 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:45,360 I don't know how how you can get that out of a ball, but there we 278 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,560 go. My expensive pick Bo Nick 6200 279 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,960 against the Jaguars. Knicks showed up in a big way 280 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,000 last week with 302 and four against the Packers. 281 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,920 The Jags are a very good run defense and a very porous pass 282 00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,200 defense. They've seen the third most 283 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,200 completions against them this season. 284 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,120 Knicks's top 4 point outputs this season. 285 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,320 They've all come in home games and this game is somewhat 286 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,480 important for the Broncos. The Jags have a path to steal 287 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,760 the number one seed in the AFC against the Broncos. 288 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,880 They need this one though, so I think that they're going to have 289 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,720 Bo Nicks take over this game against Jacksonville. 290 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,920 Who's your cheap quarterback you'd start this week, Trevor? 291 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,480 Yeah, we'll go with JJ McCarthy, kind of. 292 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,280 He's continuing his run on against the NFC, least here, 293 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,200 5300 at the Giants. It's a great spot against New 294 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,440 York. McCarthy's been QB 12 and QB 6 295 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,080 over the last two weeks against fellow NFC East competition. 296 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,760 The Giants have been getting absolutely crushed by mobile 297 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,680 quarterbacks. League worst in attempts and 298 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,040 yardage to the position, and that's an area where JJ can 299 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,880 exploit. He's got 10 rushing attempts for 300 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,520 the past couple weeks, including a rushing touchdown that he 301 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,120 gridded in for. Very funny. 302 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,480 Since Week 7, the Giants have given up some big games to run 303 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,080 running quarterbacks. Mariota had 40. 304 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,440 Mariota had 43 yards, Caleb hit them for 63 and a touchdown on 305 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,000 the ground. And then Bo Nix had a big game, 306 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,680 48 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. 307 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,320 I think JJ stat line will kind of look similar to the way it 308 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,400 has the past couple where you get a few carries shot at a 309 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,200 rushing touchdown, about 25 attempts on a little bit better 310 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,800 efficiency. He's been a better for the last 311 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,080 couple games. I'm a little worried that Brian 312 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,360 Flores kind of just destroys Jackson Dart and maybe the 313 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:25,800 Vikings can kind of lean on the ground game. 314 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,200 But the downside is just not bad at 5300. 315 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,520 You know what? I'll tell you, I I watched all 316 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:36,040 of that Cowboys Vikings game as a Viking fan last week and 317 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,840 they're not going to lean on the ground game at all. 318 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,880 They're going to, they're going to lean on the pass game. 319 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,240 They're going to see what JJ McCarthy can do because it's a 320 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,280 lost season for the Vikings. They're going to have him throw 321 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,360 as many passes as possible. My prediction is Justin 322 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,160 Jefferson does score in this game. 323 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,080 Oh, OK. So I, I, I think that you can 324 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,680 get AJJ to JJ for the payday. And Justin Jefferson is like 325 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,520 6100 or I think he's like the lowest price I've ever seen on 326 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:02,560 fan ball. So yeah. 327 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:07,480 For sure don't mind him at all. My budget pick is Bryce Young 328 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:12,160 5400 against Tampa Bay. Bryce has alternated 3 touchdown 329 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,800 games with one touchdown games for the past month and he had 330 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,119 one touchdown last week so I guess it's 3 this week against 331 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,359 Tampa. Tampa Tampa's past defense has 332 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,960 fallen off a Cliff over the last month. 333 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,760 In their last six games, 5 quarterbacks have topped 270 334 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,080 yards. 5 quarterbacks have thrown for multiple touchdowns. 335 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,080 Of those 5, three of them threw 3 touchdown passes. 336 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,000 Tyler Shuck was the only one who didn't hit the 270 or multi 337 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,160 touchdown mark he ran into. So the average quarterback score 338 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,280 in fanball points against the Bucks over the last six games, 339 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,400 29.75. You want. 340 00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,520 A 30 point guarantee for Bryce Young That would be 6X on Bryce 341 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,960 Young I I think. I think 4X is guaranteed for 342 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,400 Bryce Young. I think he might be the most 343 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,000 slam dunk play of the week. I. 344 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,560 Don't think I'd thought I'd ever hear those words said about 345 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,880 Bryce Young. Slam dunk play of the week. 346 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,160 It's not. It's mostly Tampa. 347 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,240 Yeah, I know that. That is crazy though that Tampa 348 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,840 is just 30 fan ball points a game to a quarterback is like 349 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,440 that's the best quarterback every week they have to like. 350 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,920 Pretty crazy stuff running back position. 351 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,360 Who's your expensive guy, Trevor? 352 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,600 Yeah, we'll stay in that Tampa Carolina game. 353 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,800 Bucky's Irving a 7100 at Carolina this week. 354 00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:39,840 Tampa had no issue immediately sliding Bucky back into his 355 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,360 workhorse workhorse role, at least 17 touches in each of his 356 00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:44,840 first three games back from injury. 357 00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:47,560 Now he gets a Panthers run defense that allows a whopping 358 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,800 4.8 yards per carry and has already conceded 13 rushing 359 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,880 touchdowns this year. Obviously it's a huge game. 360 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,840 Must win for both teams. Todd Balls was happy to ride a 361 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,640 rookie Bucky down the stretch last year. 362 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,280 Over his past four games of 2024, when Tampa was also aiming 363 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,880 for the postseason, he averaged over 20 touches a game. 364 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,320 Lucky's got a price savings of about AK less than the top guys 365 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,640 as well. And if we want to play Amon, 366 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,080 Rod, Chase, some of these high-priced guys we're going to 367 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,360 we're going to have to pick some savings somewhere. 368 00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:17,360 So I'll I'll pick some with Bucky over the top guys. 369 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:23,000 Trevor, I was looking at Bucky as maybe a consideration for my 370 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,960 running back of the week, and the thing that I just kept 371 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,120 coming back to is I think he's. Still hurt I think. 372 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,520 He I think he's hurt. He's he's getting the touches. 373 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,080 They're there, but he's not getting the quality on those 374 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,560 touches. He's not getting huge yard 375 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:43,240 totals, he's not scoring a lot. And Tampa was doing fine as as a 376 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,280 run team with Sean Tucker and Rashad White for several weeks. 377 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,960 So I know that they're giving the ball back to Bucky and he's 378 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,360 their their number 1 runner, but to me it seems like he's still 379 00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:55,600 not 100%. And they are. 380 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,040 Sean Tucker is seems like he's the goal line. 381 00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,880 He kind of emerged as the goal line back over the last few 382 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,640 weeks. But 20 touches in a good game 383 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,200 environment. But I hear interesting. 384 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,400 Though yeah, it just just made me pause just a little bit. 385 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,040 My expensive runner. I, I initially had James Cook 386 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,440 here, but every time I use James Cook, I get it wrong. 387 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,320 So I I switched up to Bijan against Arizona. 388 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,320 There's probably 5 blue chip runners in the league right now. 389 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,320 Two of them play on Monday Night Football and Bijon is probably 390 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,640 sitting in the best spot of the remainders this week. 391 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,200 I think a Chan is a good argument too and you already 392 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,520 covered him. He's had 31 or more fan ball 393 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,480 points in three of his last five games. 394 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,280 He's feasted on bad run defenses like Arizona and the Cards are 395 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,360 bottom 5 in yards per carry, rush yards, rushing touchdowns, 396 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,640 combo yards allowed to runners and combo touchdowns. 397 00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:49,040 This is a smash spot for Bijon. Even Tyler Algier can eat in 398 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,280 this one. They both can. 399 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,120 I, I think it's I think it's a no brainer here. 400 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,120 Lacks a brain to put Bijon in your lineup this week. 401 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,200 Budget runner who you got? Yeah, this one pretty chalky. 402 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,240 Michael Carter for the Cardinals 4900 at home against Atlanta. 403 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,880 We already talked about they're down to running back four now. 404 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,920 Amari J Mercado was the other back on the roster. 405 00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:12,960 He came into last week, came with an injury and only saw 406 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,760 three touches. Carter saw the lion's share of 407 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,600 the running back workload last week, turning 18 touches to 408 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,560 nearly 100 combo yards. Even when the other backs were 409 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,520 healthy, Carter was the pass game back 19 catches over his 410 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,720 past five games. Falcons are only a middling 411 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,880 match up for opposing backs, both on the ground and through 412 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,600 the air. So you're getting potential 20 413 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,760 touches for less than 5K. That's hard to keep out of your 414 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,480 line UPS. Really the only reason you 415 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,200 wouldn't play him is if you wanted to go like Gibbs, A Chan 416 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,440 and Bichon. If you want to go like the three 417 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,400 best runners, then you couldn't fit Michael Carter. 418 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,920 But I'll have Michael Carter. You might. 419 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,440 Have to put Michael Carter in your superflex at that point 420 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,800 actually. Maybe the quarterbacks aren't 421 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,440 great this week. This is a week I thought about 422 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,360 not playing two quarterbacks. OK. 423 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,520 OK. Can I get you to consider Quinch 424 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,200 on Judkins for 5800 against Buffalo? 425 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,840 Judkins basically got all the work last week against the 426 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,720 Bears, but that game got out of hand so quickly for the Browns 427 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,120 that they just abandoned the run. 428 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,800 There's a bit of a danger in that happening this week against 429 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,520 the Bills too, but they're coming off an emotional win in 430 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,720 New England last week, and the Bills have been a let down team 431 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,160 after emotional wins this year. They beat Kansas City and 432 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,840 Arrowhead in Week 9. Then they lost to the Dolphins. 433 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,120 By the way, Devon HN had 40 points in that game. 434 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,840 Then they beat Tampa in a shootout in Week 11, then lost 435 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,680 to the Texans on Thursday Night Football. 436 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,640 So they have a little bit of let down to them after these these 437 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,160 huge emotional games. It was the big comeback last 438 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,400 week. Overall, the Bills have allowed 439 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,920 five different runners to top 30 PPR points this season, 440 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,480 including Trayvion Henderson last week. 441 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,840 I mean, Quinch on Judkins, he might not hit 30 points, but I'm 442 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,240 saying there's a chance. That Bill's run defenses 443 00:22:57,360 --> 00:23:00,240 atrocious and and Dudkins is absolutely talented enough to 444 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:07,720 make him pay for. It all right, let's go to an 445 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,960 expensive wide receiver pick. Who do you got, Trevor? 446 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,480 Yeah, you had Mona is your your favorite player on the slate? 447 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,920 And I got Jameson Williams his buddy 6700 against Pittsburgh. 448 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,840 It's the highest total game on the slate. 449 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,800 It actually opened at 45 1/2 and it's now up to 52 so. 450 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,960 Oh wow. Yeah, and actually I mentioned, 451 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,440 yeah, I mentioned the Bengals Dolphins game had a total over 452 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,720 50 since the Tua news. That dropped to 47 1/2. 453 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:33,960 Oh, there we go. Wow. 454 00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:35,920 Something to keep in mind. Still a still a good 455 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,320 environment, but I'm I'm looking. 456 00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:40,120 At old over under numbers when I do this, obviously, yeah. 457 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,560 Yeah, I've just streaming them to my brain, you know? 458 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,160 OK, there we go. But so Detroit's had four home 459 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,480 games since their bye week. The game totals in those games 460 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,800 are 516155 and 74. Detroit's defense is stating you 461 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,440 get a Dome spot. Dan Campbell took over play 462 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,200 calling in the Washington game in Week 10, in part, he said, 463 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,440 because he was upset at how Jameson Williams was being used. 464 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,600 Since then, Jamo's been on a heater. 465 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,120 He's got 4 touchdowns in the six games that Campbell's called 466 00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:09,640 plays and at least 88 yards and five of the six. 467 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,760 It's a great match up to. Pittsburgh's allowed the second 468 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,640 most catches to receivers. You could play both Amonrah and 469 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:15,840 Jamo. I mean, they might put up 40 470 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,040 here. Yeah, and, and and then you'd 471 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,120 probably want to put in Jared Goff too, right? 472 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,520 Yeah, Yep. All right, my expensive pick is 473 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,960 Nico Collins 7300 against the Raiders at home. 474 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,960 Underrated aspect of the six game-winning streak for the 475 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,120 Texans is how consistent Nico has been. 20 or more PPR points 476 00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:38,680 four times in those six games. In the other two, he caught all 477 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,920 three of his targets for 55 yards against the Bills and then 478 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,600 went four for 1/21 against the Chiefs. 479 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,880 So he hit 16 PPR points. 19 different wide receivers have 480 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,600 hit double digit PPR points against the Raiders this year. 481 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,360 Plus, it's a must win for the Texans to keep pace in the AFC. 482 00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:58,080 And most of their runners have injury designations. 483 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,560 So I kind of like Collins to get a lot of work this week it. 484 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,120 Actually kind of reminds me of the spot that JSN was in against 485 00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:08,720 Atlanta maybe a few weeks ago, where it's like, well, Seattle 486 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,400 might just blow the doors off of them. 487 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,160 But if they don't, JSN might have like 40 points. 488 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,720 And that feels like the Nico Collins. 489 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,160 Like if Vegas could put up like 13, maybe Nico goes for 30. 490 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,960 Yeah, we might have to cheer for Vegas to figure out how to score 491 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,760 some points against this Texans D Tough sled in there, though. 492 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,880 Who's your budget wide receiver? Yeah, it's a It's a really tough 493 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,760 week, honestly, for guys in the cheap receiver game Jalen Coker 494 00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:37,280 Carolina 3700 against Tampa, Would you consider? 495 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:42,120 Yourself a cokehead. I I do, he's been a solid cheap 496 00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:45,520 PPR option recently. 4 catches in three of his last four games, 497 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,480 and he's got a receiving touchdown in each of the past 498 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,760 two as well. He's actually cleared 16 PPR 499 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,400 points and two straight, for what it's worth. 500 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,400 Yeah, honestly between 50230500A receiver on the slate, I like 501 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,000 can't find anyone I want to play. 502 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,440 I don't want to pay 5K for Godwin, Addison, Johnston, guys 503 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,880 who can literally air ball and Coker can air ball but at least 504 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,360 he's a little cheaper if he's going to do it so. 505 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,240 How dare you besmirch Chris Godwin's name? 506 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,120 Who's my cheap wide receiver option? 507 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,280 OK, well, maybe Chris Godwin's a great play. 508 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:23,600 The other guys are. Godwin's 5000 at Carolina Tampa 509 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,200 had all three of their receivers on the field last week for the 510 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,000 very first time this season, and it's week 15. 511 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,080 Evans was back as the A12 targets. 512 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,200 Egbuca kept a solid 7 targets. Godwin had five targets call, 4 513 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,800 of them for only 20 yards, but he was the only one to score a 514 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,080 touchdown out of those guys. When all three of them are out 515 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,400 there, it's pick your poison time and Godwin runs the most 516 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,880 routes out of the slot, about half of them. 517 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,360 He gets the best match up against slot corner Chow Smith 518 00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:55,240 Wade, who is definitely not a name I just made-up. 519 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,920 He's the cheapest of the Tampa wide receivers by far. 520 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,280 Evans is 7 K Ebuka is 5800. I already talked about how I 521 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:09,120 like Bryce Young in this one and I talked about how I I think 522 00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:11,320 there's some shootout capability in this game. 523 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,800 I I think it could go back and forth. 524 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,560 And so I want a piece of this game. 525 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,920 Chris Godwin 5000 in this one, I think is a good spot. 526 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,200 And you could look at that bright red number on fanball and 527 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,320 go, oh, that's, that's a tough matchup. 528 00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:25,960 It's not that tough for Godwin here. 529 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,360 Especially since he avoids JC Horn, right? 530 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:30,520 Right. A lot of those slot routes. 531 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,840 JC Horn's given up five touchdowns in his coverage this 532 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,600 year too, so even if Godwin flexes outside, I I don't think 533 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,200 it's that that scary of a match up as it used to. 534 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,800 Be. Yeah, I'm with it. 535 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,120 All right, who's your favorite tight end play this week, 536 00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:46,360 Trevor? And you're probably going to 537 00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:50,280 take a big dump on like my tight end before we get to mine, 538 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,640 right? I should do that first. 539 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:56,960 No, I've got Kyle Pitts this week, 5200, Really. 540 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:58,960 Just yeah. Kyle Pitts. 541 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,720 Here we're. Just going to box score Chase, 542 00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:03,240 obviously he blew up for the, you know, fantasy performance of 543 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,720 a lifetime last week. I really don't think we're just 544 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,200 chasing the box score, though. His target's been trending up in 545 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,640 the four weeks since Kirk took over 5810 and then 12 last week. 546 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,360 He's got three straight games with at least 6 catches and 80 547 00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:17,680 yards. Arizona's bottom 10 to the 548 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,520 position against 10 yards and catches. 549 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,080 And in just the last four weeks, the Cards allowed 876 and one to 550 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,720 Dalton Schultz. Colby Parkinson scored a 551 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,040 touchdown. Britton Strange had 93 yards. 552 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,880 Potential smash play if Drake London remains out, which we 553 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,720 don't know quite yet. He's still a great play, even if 554 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,360 London does suit up on Sunday. All right, who's going to score 555 00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:40,520 more fantasy points in that game, Trey McBride or Kyle? 556 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,280 Pitts I mean, that's Trey McBride. 557 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,280 You've got to pay me to pay. McBride. 558 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:53,480 No, My expensive pick is Brock Bowers 5800 at Houston. 559 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,200 So yeah, let's start the tight end with Kenny Pickett at 560 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,760 quarterback against one of the best defenses in the league. 561 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,600 This is Galaxy brain stuff. No one's going to be starting 562 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,920 Brock Bowers here. He's the second highest priced 563 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,000 tight end behind McBride. But guess who played the Texans 564 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,520 last week with a quarterback that didn't start the season for 565 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,400 his team? It was Trey McBride. 566 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,120 How'd he do? 12 catches, 134 yards and two 567 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,200 touchdowns. What? 568 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,840 Oh, here we go. Bowers has maybe faced the 569 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,920 toughest schedule imaginable over the last month. 570 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,720 Get who he's played in the last month. 571 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:32,840 The Browns. That's a four top 10. 572 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,320 Defenses, yeah. And then he gets the Texans like 573 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,520 5 in a row. By the way, he's put up good 574 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,600 numbers in those games, Double digit PPR points in three of his 575 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,520 last four. Even last week in Philly, where 576 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,240 it was a lost game, he had eight targets in that game. 577 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,560 So the volume's gonna be there. I think that we've we've proven 578 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,800 if the volume is there against the Texans defense, they might 579 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,360 not be able to cover a good tight end all that much. 580 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,200 So let's let's Galaxy brain Brock Bowers. 581 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,320 That was too many BS in a row into your line UPS. 582 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,200 Not like that. I always like to the the special 583 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,920 talent against the tough match up 'cause it's like, yeah, what 584 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,240 if Trame Bride is just better than the Texans that week? 585 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:17,920 Like and Brock Bowers has that potential for sure. 586 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,040 And like you said, he'll be 1% owned. 587 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,320 Nobody. Who's your budget tight end, 588 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,440 Trevor? Yeah, I kind of stole this one 589 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,600 from you. I've got Darren Waller, 4K home 590 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,800 against Cincinnati. Oh my. 591 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,720 Move my move to do the cheap tight end against the Bengals 592 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,320 defense every week in this spot. Well, yeah, yeah. 593 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,680 I was also going to say you pitched to pick up Darren Waller 594 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,120 for a couple weeks on the pods, too. 595 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,480 I said it's just DFS, but have you seen the interview where 596 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,640 Darren Waller sits down with Jon Gruden in the last like, a year 597 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,960 or so? So Darren Waller's like a rapper 598 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,600 now and so he plays like his football themed rap song for Jon 599 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,280 Gruden and then him and Jon Gruden like start vibing 600 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,400 together. It's it's pretty funny. 601 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,520 It's worth a watch. Anyways, we'll get back to the 602 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:02,880 the info here. Like you said, since he's the 603 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,000 worst tight end defense of all time, we won't need to go 604 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,200 further than that. Waller's played just seven games 605 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,720 this year and has 6 touchdowns. Last week he was in also an 606 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,360 excellent spot. Pittsburgh is the second worst 607 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,880 tight end defense and he buried them for 766, two all season 608 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,880 highs. This Dolphins offense runs 609 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,560 through three players, HN Waddle and Darren Waller. 610 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:23,720 It's a cheap way to get access to it. 611 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,040 What was a better environment about two hours ago before Tua 612 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,760 was benched? But it's still a a good spot for 613 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,600 Mr. Waller. You know, viewers being in might 614 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,040 benefit Waller just because of the dump off nature of some of 615 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,680 these younger quarterbacks and and rookies tend to hit a Chan 616 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,840 and hit Waller. I mean, they'll hit your running 617 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,040 back and they'll hit their tight end because they won't stand in 618 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,080 the pocket long enough to view their progressions. 619 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,720 Yeah, they don't want to throw downfield in their first start, 620 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,280 you know, ever too. Plus. 621 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,320 Those matchups are juicy. Juicy. 622 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,320 All right, my budget tight end TJ Hawkinson, 3600 at the 623 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,800 Giants. He's quietly put up couple of 624 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,440 respectable weeks here with Max Brosmer as his quarterback. 625 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,000 He had 6 catches for 59 yards. Then they went back to JJ. 626 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,880 He scored against the Commanders and he had four for 66 last week 627 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,600 against Dallas. And McCarthy has been throwing 628 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,280 the ball in the red zone a ton because they want to get 629 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:24,560 Jefferson a touchdown #1 and everyone knows it #2 so now 630 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,120 Jefferson's double covered on all red zone plays, which is why 631 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,400 Josh Oliver was left open for two scores against Washington. 632 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,600 And they want to see what JJ can do down there. 633 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,520 It's all prove it time for McCarthy. 634 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,600 The Giants aren't a particularly easy match up for tight ends, 635 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,280 mostly because you haven't needed to utilize the tight end 636 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,280 all that much to beat New York. Their pass rush has been kind of 637 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:47,880 garbage. Their wide receivers have been 638 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,640 open all day against them, but Dallas Goddard scored on them 639 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,440 thrice this season in their two meetings. 640 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,760 Hunter Henry put up 4 catches for 73 yards two weeks ago. 4 641 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:03,160 for 73 seems pretty reasonable for Hawkinson in this one, and 642 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,760 if you do that, you're at 11 PPR points right there and I think 643 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,240 that hits value at 3600. And you could argue he probably 644 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,480 should have had a touchdown last week that JJ kind of let him up 645 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:14,920 the sideline a little bit too far. 646 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:16,120 Yeah. Yeah. 647 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,520 You know, he's, he's really been involved recently. 648 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,360 All right, the deep, deep sleeper time. 649 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,120 Trevor, what are we doing here? Yeah, it's it's nasty AD 650 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,000 Mitchell 3800 against New Orleans. 651 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,960 I I've used him a few times this year with some success. 652 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,200 He did prove he can produce even with near league worst 653 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,120 quarterback play. He went 658 one last week with 654 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,480 Ray Cook the rookie at the helm. The former Cole actually has 655 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,160 five straight games with at least six targets. 656 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,280 It's a little boom busty as in those five games he's got an 657 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,040 81-O2 and one line and A6581. But the other three games saw 658 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,080 just 4 catches combined, so it's real boom or bust. 659 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,680 John matches and play a little bit too at 3400, but he just 660 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,440 doesn't have the same ceiling as AD Mitchell does. 661 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,800 That's gross. I thought it was gross. 662 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,600 Yeah, a lot. Last week my my deep, deep 663 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,520 sleeper was Bashel Tooten. He only had two touches, but he 664 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,880 scored a touchdown. Yeah, I'm on a roll. 665 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,600 This week. It's Jaden Higgins 4300 against 666 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,840 Vegas. I mentioned that I like Nico 667 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,159 Collins against this D for much of the same reasons. 668 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,880 Higgins snap share last week was 72%. 669 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,320 Nico's snap share last week was 73%. 670 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,040 He had one more snap than Higgins. 671 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,760 So Higgins is basically out there in the starting group. 672 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,400 Problem for Higgins, he only had one catch for four yards last 673 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,840 week and only three for 34 the week before. 674 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,600 But give me a guy who's cheap, who's on the field a ton with an 675 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:50,960 injured backfield in a must win game at home indoors against a 676 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,000 past defense that's bottom 10 in receptions, yards and touchdowns 677 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,840 allowed to opposing wide receivers. 678 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,480 It all stacks up as something that should trend upward for 679 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,640 Higgins here. I think he's worth it at 4300 if 680 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,760 you need to get down and dirty. Yeah, no, I like that one too. 681 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,440 All right. Trevor, do you have a line up 682 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,600 for this week? Did I do your mind and have you 683 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,200 put Bryce Young in it right away? 684 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:19,120 I I'm not sold yet, but. You have to come on. 685 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,080 I know, I know, I think so. I'll read the line up, but I 686 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,760 think I need an extra 100 bucks to get to Bryce Young. 687 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,240 So we got Jacoby and JJ McCarthy, quarterback, running 688 00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:32,920 back HN Irving and Michael Carter, receiver Chase Coker, 689 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,680 Jameson Williams and then Kyle Pitts at tight ends. 690 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,040 I like it, I like it. You don't hate it. 691 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:44,840 All right, it's time for us to take a look at the Sunday 5 by 692 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,760 5. It's up on the screen for those 693 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:52,320 of you watching on YouTube or Spotify, Trevor, this was maybe 694 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,760 one of the most interesting groups of five by five players I 695 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,800 think I've seen all season. Because if you look at that 696 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:03,560 $1.00 page right there, pretty much every one of them went off 697 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,480 last week. Trayvion Henderson, Zay Flowers, 698 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,240 Kyle Pitts, Michael Wilson and DK Metcalf. 699 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,080 Wow. Yeah, Michael Wilson at a dollar 700 00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:16,120 is staring at me in the face here. 701 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,960 That's. That's the one. 702 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,200 Yeah, even over Trayvion, even over DK. 703 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,240 I think Jameson Williams $2.00 against Pittsburgh is excellent 704 00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:28,480 too. I, I, I really like DK in a spot 705 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,320 against Detroit's terrible past defense right now. 706 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,400 Like they've been just focusing on DK like over and over again. 707 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,680 Yeah, that's such a high total that it feels like he's going to 708 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,320 clear at least 100 yards. Yeah, I it it. 709 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,760 Seems like least where you. Could get up to two of those $5 710 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,480 guys if you wanted to. You could get like Bijon and 711 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:53,440 Gibbs in your line up or you could go maybe Bijon Aman raw 712 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,560 and maybe a Trey McBride and then get a couple of dollar 713 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,360 players to finish her off. Yeah, I will say like there's 714 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,400 not a big difference between like the $1.00 and the three 715 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,360 dollar players. If anything, the $1.00 players 716 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,560 might be better this week. Jeez, Yeah, well, I definitely 717 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,680 don't like ETN there at 3 bucks. Don't use him. 718 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,120 All right, that's it for the DFS pod. 719 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:22,600 A reminder on Game Blazers.
