Chilly
it It died probably a couple years ago, I would think, right?
00:02:28
Sully Shaheed
I think so, too.
00:02:29
Chilly
I think so.
00:02:30
Sully Shaheed
I think so, too.
00:02:31
Chilly
Yeah. um Nah, man, it's cool. Just getting ready to you know dive on in into this slate. I know you mentioned the greater Cleveland area. would At this point, wouldn't we all be closer to the Akron area?
00:02:45
Chilly
i mean, i go I'm in between.
00:02:46
Sully Shaheed
the
00:02:47
Chilly
like I'm 20 minutes either direction to the major cities.
00:02:53
Sully Shaheed
And I mean, we can't even claim like North greater Northern Ohio because Baker moved so far down South. I mean, you know what? Let's just represent the state from now on and just call it a day because.
00:03:04
Baker
Until I move out of the state, until I just leave Ohio altogether.
00:03:08
Chilly
Baker, you've been moving out of Ohio now for fuck. How long have we been friends?
00:03:15
Sully Shaheed
He officially has lived out of the state. So, I mean, he's not wrong. He could
Impact of Computer Simulations on Fantasy Football

Not since I've known them. Not since I've known them.
00:03:20
Sully Shaheed
just leave.
00:03:23
Sully Shaheed
That's that's fair.
00:03:24
Baker
That's fair.
00:03:25
Sully Shaheed
That's fair. Another I mean, to to that point that, you know, I was discussing, I actually had a quick conversation with my ah with my beautiful girlfriend.
00:03:26
Baker
Uh,
00:03:33
Sully Shaheed
And i was, you know, basically complaining about daily fantasy football like I always do. And, you know, I said it's riddled with with Sims and this, that and the third. And I said, you know, it's not it's it's hard to beat the computers now.
00:03:46
Sully Shaheed
Because a lot of people are using it. You know, they they take their analysis from what the computer says and, you know, some some podcasts and things like that. Obviously, you should be taking information from the DFS Deli like and subscribe.
00:03:59
Sully Shaheed
But I said, um I said, yeah, you know, you you can't be the computers.
00:04:00
Chilly
Mm-mm.
00:04:03
Sully Shaheed
Got to use the computers to, you know, do the Sims and blah, blah, blah. And she said, where's the fun in that? And I said, it's it's not fun. It's not fun on the bank account to lose either.
00:04:15
Sully Shaheed
And she said, well, aren't you doing this to have fun? said, you know what, babe? You're absolutely right. So we're going to get back to having some fun because that's when I perform the best at DFS.
00:04:27
Sully Shaheed
So I think this week, you, me, chill, we're going to have some fun. But before we do that, you know what we must do?
Week 4 Injuries Toast
00:04:38
Sully Shaheed
Ladies and gentlemen listening on the podcast radio, the YouTube vid, shout out, like, and subscribe once again.
00:04:44
Sully Shaheed
We have to grab your drink of choice, whether it's a pop, water, or a glass of wine whenever you're listening to the DFS Deli.
00:04:47
Baker
Ah.
00:04:53
Sully Shaheed
As customary, we need to raise said glass for those that have fallen in week four.
00:05:01
Sully Shaheed
Lamar Jackson's hamstring.
00:05:05
Sully Shaheed
Malik Nabors' ACL.
00:05:08
Chilly
The Meadowlands claimed another one.
00:05:11
Sully Shaheed
Another one. um Rest in peace to the starting job of Joe Flacco. Your era is over.
00:05:17
Baker
ah
00:05:19
Sully Shaheed
We've now began the Dylan Gabriel era. For those that I've missed, because i know those are the major ones, you will be missed. And we all wish you a speed of recovery. And in the case of Joe Flacco, a healthy retirement.
00:05:33
Sully Shaheed
Because it's over. fallen.
00:05:36
Baker
We missed Tyreek Hill. We missed the entire Vikings offensive line. The entire the entire raven defense.
00:05:42
Sully Shaheed
The entire Chargers offensive line.
Quarterback Choices and Strategies
00:05:50
Sully Shaheed
I'm trying to think of people that have made a fantasy impact. I mean, yeah, I get the Tyreek Hill thing. Sorry, buddy. I don't care. um You haven't been fantasy relevant for a while.
00:05:56
Baker
Thank
00:05:57
Chilly
I think... I think karma came and got Tyreek Hill.
00:06:02
Sully Shaheed
You think?
00:06:04
Chilly
I think...
00:06:05
Sully Shaheed
like who Who is smiling and like clapping that he gets to leave the Dolphins? That man was happy his career's over. but
00:06:13
Chilly
I... That thing I get at least, i I think that's a, ah there's a bougie-ass term for it, but i it's like it's like the shock value, or it's like just being in pure shock, you just don't know how to act, and apparently, that's a natural thing.
00:06:30
Sully Shaheed
I mean, normally you get the cart with the towel on your head and, you know, you're just, you give the thumbs up that like, you're breathing or whatever, but like, he was ecstatic.
00:06:41
Sully Shaheed
We'll blame it on shock for right now, but man, that was, that was a little awkward, don't you think?
00:06:46
Chilly
I mean, if you're guaranteed $54 million, you don't got to work.
00:06:51
Sully Shaheed
And I don't have to play anymore to actually get said 50.
00:06:53
Chilly
You like literally don't have to work.
00:06:54
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, you're right. You're right.
00:06:57
Chilly
so and know It'll be interesting to see what happens when he comes back to see if he actually still has his speed. Because without his speed, he kind of sucks.
00:07:05
Sully Shaheed
I think his career may be over.
00:07:05
Baker
Facts.
00:07:07
Chilly
We'll see. We he will see.
00:07:09
Sully Shaheed
We shall see in about a year, but that's neither here nor there because we don't have to worry about that because he's not on the main slate. He won't be on any slate or any fantasy football team for the rest of the year.
00:07:20
Sully Shaheed
So not celebrating injuries guys. I'm not Dale. Okay. But there are a key. There are some several, there are some several key injuries that are affecting the slate and we will get to it.
00:07:31
Sully Shaheed
But, um, As you know, we go position by position, breaking down our favorite plays on the slate. And of course, we actually have some ownership projections. So you know what the field is going to do and you know what you need to do to beat the field.
00:07:44
Sully Shaheed
So we're going to start at everyone's favorite position, of course, where our stacks start. The quarterback position.
00:07:48
Baker
Tight end. Tight end.
00:07:50
Sully Shaheed
Never tight end.
00:07:50
Baker
Everybody's there.
00:07:51
Sully Shaheed
Never defense.
00:07:51
Baker
No. Okay.
00:07:53
Sully Shaheed
Don't care. That is five minutes of the segment of this whole ass show. So, you know, you don't have to worry about that.
00:07:59
Chilly
He's right.
00:07:59
Sully Shaheed
But Baker.
00:08:00
Baker
What?
00:08:02
Sully Shaheed
A friend of yours, friend of ours, a mutual friend, tried to convince you to play one and seemingly chalky-ish Kyler Murray. um We understand how bad the Tennessee Titans are.
00:08:11
Baker
Okay.
00:08:14
Sully Shaheed
However, is this a spot that you're willing to take advantage of?
00:08:16
Baker
No, no, no, no.
00:08:17
Sully Shaheed
and know the answer, but for the people, for the people, I want you to explain why you're not willing to take advantage of this spot.
00:08:25
Baker
So you want my reasoning or like a fantasy football analysis?
00:08:29
Sully Shaheed
Um, I mean, give me a little bit of both because i already know your reasoning, your real reasoning behind it.
00:08:29
Baker
Reason.
00:08:34
Baker
Cool, cool. ah So my real reasoning last year on this show, I apologize to anybody who listens. to the things that come out of my mouth. I talked about Kyler Murray for about 50, about 57 times last year.
00:08:45
Baker
Um, so he is now referred to as my ex-girlfriend.
00:08:46
Sully Shaheed
Yeah. Yep.
00:08:49
Baker
Um, um, you can't go back to the ex, you know, you know, as, as good as it may have been at certain times, you know, all the freaky things that they may have done at some point in time that you really miss a little bit.
00:08:49
Sully Shaheed
hmm.
00:08:58
Baker
Can't go back. You just can't, you got to move forward. You got to, I'm saying forward thinking and Kyler Murray is my ex that I have to be forward thinking on. I cannot go back. He is toxic for my life.
00:09:09
Baker
Like I didn't have gray hairs in my beard until Kyler Murray became a part of my life.
00:09:15
Sully Shaheed
Oh.
00:09:15
Baker
I had him.
00:09:15
Sully Shaheed
Yeah.
00:09:15
Baker
I had him in yearly. I played him way too much in daily. Like I'm just done with him. I'm out. Now, from the actual fantasy and not just my craziness, this is why I'm not playing Kyler Murray.
00:09:21
Sully Shaheed
yeah
00:09:27
Baker
The Cardinals, once they're up, sit on the ball. they're not they are not They are the opposite of the Lions, where the Lions are saying, fuck you, let's run it up. The Cardinals are like, all right, let's get out of here. we I'm saying we got a lead, boys.
00:09:40
Baker
Let's play some good defense. Let's run the ball. Let's punt. play the spill position thing. Let's get out of here with it up. So unless Kyler scores the first three touchdowns, one with his legs, and they're up 21 rip, and even that may not be enough because he most likely only have like 150 maybe passing yards at that point in time.
00:09:59
Sully Shaheed
True.
00:10:00
Baker
You know, where's the upside? Like Kyler, for in all in all honesty, for Kyler to hit, it needs to be a shootout environment. And nobody thinks Tennessee's pushing this, myself included. um as much as I've talked about Cam Ward, and I still believe that Cam Ward at some point in time will win somebody a million dollars, it's not happening this week.
00:10:16
Baker
So...
00:10:19
Sully Shaheed
Cam Ward.
00:10:21
Baker
um I mean, probably that's probably the reason that he sucks, because he's from the U. But...
00:10:27
Chilly
he He transferred there.
00:10:28
Baker
Yeah, Kyle...
00:10:28
Chilly
He transferred there.
00:10:33
Baker
I mean, when he got drafted, was he doing this on stage?
00:10:33
Sully Shaheed
ah yeah Yeah, I don't think, and and you
00:10:35
Baker
Yes, he was. don't want hear
00:10:37
Chilly
and We made them relevant.
00:10:40
Baker
can't Can't wait.
Running Back Analysis
00:10:42
Sully Shaheed
know to to to piggyback off that logic, I think that I haven't seen a tournament winning score out of Kyler Murray since, I don't know, my first child.
00:10:42
Baker
Can't wait for 7.30.
00:10:51
Chilly
His rookie year.
00:10:53
Baker
DeAndre Hopkins was there? DeAndre Hopkins. that like That DeAndre Hopkins Buffalo game.
00:10:58
Chilly
Yeah, when he caught the Hail Mary.
00:10:59
Sully Shaheed
yeah
00:10:59
Chilly
Yeah.
00:11:00
Baker
Yeah.
00:11:01
Sully Shaheed
ah either Yeah, even needed that to post the tournament winning score. So no, I'm 100% with you on that one, man. I just think we need to debunk some of the chalk, like poke holes in that before we actually exploit who we you know want to play. So Baker, continue on. Who are you actually playing this week?
00:11:18
Chilly
i
00:11:18
Baker
Uh,
00:11:18
Chilly
i will I will give one added point to Baker. um Tennessee is really bad against running backs. um They are like probably the fourth best team to play running backs against.
00:11:31
Chilly
um So that would be another reason. I mean, we saw Woody Marks last week against these guys kind of get loose. um So, again, Tennessee kind of a pass funnel or a run funnel.
00:11:44
Chilly
um So kind of that just goes to Baker's point where if you did want to play ah Kyler and you did want to play one of the Arizona running backs, I think that's fine.
00:11:53
Sully Shaheed
Just don't. Just don't play Kyler. just Just don't play Kyler. Just don't. Baker, who are you playing this week, man?
00:12:00
Baker
I mean, there's two games that i'm really pique my interest. um Obviously, everybody's interested in the Dallas game. I don't need to talk about Justin Fields. He's the most popular quarterback or the second most popular quarterback.
00:12:08
Chilly
They are...
00:12:10
Sully Shaheed
I'm going to say he's
00:12:10
Chilly
They...
00:12:10
Baker
But I...
00:12:11
Sully Shaheed
That belongs to Justin Herbert for for reference sakes.
00:12:12
Chilly
They...
00:12:15
Sully Shaheed
But you can poke a hole in that whenever you're ready to talk about that.
00:12:18
Chilly
they They give up so many points to quarterbacks.
00:12:20
Baker
but
00:12:22
Chilly
Dallas, it's not even close. like They're in first, and then like they are doubling the team that's in second in terms of like value. That's how bad the Cowboys' defense is.
00:12:37
Baker
But like from a game theory perspective, okay, how does this game actually get you there? it's score like Dallas gets up. Dallas might sit on the ball. If the giants or the Jets get up, Dallas is is passing. So if the Jets get up, it's coming via the run. It could be Justin Fields' legs, but it could also be Brees Hall.
Wide Receiver Strategies
00:12:56
Baker
Brees Hall also popular. just's not a single jet or popular main Jet that's not popular this week.
00:13:01
Baker
Yeah. I think that the Dakota Prescott way is a safer way to go, even though Justin Fields has the rushing upside. The price differential between them being $400. I'll take the, you know, if this game shoots out, Dak Prescott has 300 yards and more than likely three or four touchdowns. And we saw on Sunday night, he can't still get in there with his legs, though it's not as popular for him at this point in his career.
00:13:23
Baker
I like the Dak Prescott ah way of it in a contrarian way to get with that same game. Justin Herbert is in an absolute smash spot, but I also think that Jaden Daniels and is in the exact same smash spot that Justin Herbert's in.
00:13:38
Baker
Yes, the Chargers defense defense has been good, but one, Jackson Dart just carved him up. And two, it's a pace-up spot for Washington because of the fact that the Chargers are the are just throwing the ball. Like, yeah, they're run they're thought to be a run-heavy team. They play at one of the fastest paces in the league So you're getting the ball back to Jaden Daniels faster and potentially more.
00:13:58
Baker
That game can shoot out. Justin Herbert's also very popular. Nobody's going to Jaden Daniels. So those are two of my favorite plays, and those are two of my favorite games overall.
00:14:06
Sully Shaheed
Definitely taking the contrarian route. Cause as you mentioned, the, ownership projections saw on Dakota and, um, you know, ah on the other side of the token on the other game. No, I mean, there's no one's, no one's playing it.
00:14:17
Sully Shaheed
Like everybody's going to be scared off Jayden Daniels, uh, because he's returned from injury. There's no F one this week. So, it's going to be Debo and all Debo, uh, you know, and and if you get frisky, you can play a little Zach hurts, but, uh,
00:14:27
Baker
Yeah.
00:14:30
Sully Shaheed
You know, these tied in. We don't talk about that on that on this show. So, um yeah, I like the contrarian calls. I mean, and the funny thing is, it's like a hybrid between, you know, what we used to do for Saturday nights, you know, with the secret menu and then the early, you know, the the preview show. So this is like a nice hybrid to bring them all together.
00:14:49
Sully Shaheed
So I like the contrarian takes, babe. I like your logic on this. ah Chill, where are you headed at QB?
00:14:56
Chilly
Yeah, I mean, I'll probably definitely have a Justin Fields lineup. i don't I don't see how you don't have one. Again, the Cowboys defense is just so terrible. um i mean in terms I mean, I do like a couple of contrarian guys. um I mean, I'm probably going to play C.J. Stroud.
00:15:14
Chilly
against the Ravens, I understand that their offensive line is terrible. But if there's a team for the get right at quarterback spot, it's definitely against the Ravens. um Again, you got Cooper Rush in there.
00:15:28
Chilly
So, again, Texans defense can get turnovers.
00:15:29
Sully Shaheed
No.
00:15:31
Chilly
Houston's defense can get turnovers. Yeah.
00:15:34
Sully Shaheed
Cooper-wise.
00:15:35
Chilly
I mean, and I think the bring back is pretty easy if you do stack the Texans. I think you just played Derrick Henry on the other side and you call it a day. Because I think you're going to see the Ravens get back to their old ways. ah Even if Lamar was playing in this game, i think would have seen them get back to her old ways.
00:15:51
Chilly
ah Obviously, it's Pat Mahomes and the Chiefs, but we saw Pat Mahomes, you know, look like Pat Mahomes against this defense. They're down, I do believe, like seven starters in all total when it's all said and done.
00:16:04
Chilly
um So I do like Strahd this week. Again, Baker touched on it. Fields is going to be the most popular quarterback on the slate. um so i do like So I do like Fields as well. Again, easy matchup at home.
00:16:16
Chilly
Your only fear is do you get the Justin Fields that couldn't throw the ball against Buffalo, or do you get the, you you know.
00:16:19
Sully Shaheed
Thank you.
00:16:24
Chilly
But, I mean, also, too, i mean, Justin Fields was not looking that great against the Dolphins, but I believe there was, what, that 70-yard play there that kind of, kind of loosen them up a little bit, but that's what he offers, right?
00:16:36
Chilly
This man could be sitting on five points and then he can go to 20 real fast. So, so again here, um, and again, the jets guys are going to be popular. So probably putting them all together would probably be the way to go.
00:16:49
Chilly
Um, I mean, we'll cover, I mean, we're basically going to hit a jet and I think in every, but in every position,
00:16:55
Sully Shaheed
Every position except defense. Yeah.
00:16:58
Chilly
um So taking a look at that, um i think Justin Herbert is interesting. I mean, we saw Michael Penix last week carved this up. The commanders have no pass rush whatsoever.
00:17:10
Chilly
um I like the Jane Daniels call. It's just like, man, his stacking options are so bad. It's like,
00:17:17
Baker
There's one. There's one.
00:17:18
Sully Shaheed
Right.
00:17:18
Chilly
yeah but
00:17:18
Sully Shaheed
there's There's one way to go.
00:17:19
Chilly
you you're putting them with Luke McCaffrey?
00:17:25
Baker
I'm playing him with Debo, and that's it.
00:17:26
Chilly
Devo,
Tight End Selections
00:17:28
Baker
Move on.
00:17:29
Chilly
I mean, if you want to plug in Ertz, too, I mean, like, it's ugly.
00:17:33
Chilly
His options are – I mean, they basically need this guy to be super massive. But, again, I think Jay Daniels is a great call. um One other quarterback that I'll that i'll mention, and then I'll let Sully go here. um The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the ultimate pass funnel.
00:17:48
Chilly
Nobody's playing Sam Darnold. That game ah ga doesn't feel
00:17:53
Sully Shaheed
Damn. Darnold. Okay. Okay.
00:17:55
Chilly
I mean, JSN's going to be the chalk at wide receiver, I do believe.
00:18:00
Baker
oh
00:18:01
Chilly
um Nobody... Again, the Buccaneers are like... We know what the Bucs have done for the past four years. They stop the run.
00:18:13
Chilly
They will just let you pass on them the whole time. So, I think Sam Darnold at home is kind of intriguing um because it does give you leverage if you are going to use JSN.
00:18:24
Chilly
um Again, Dwight Dwight He literally had He literally had no completions Because it's the Eagles
00:18:27
Sully Shaheed
Why did Jalen Hurts not have any passing yards in the second half against him, Chill, as you texted me?
00:18:36
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, that's the excuse.
00:18:37
Chilly
yeah
00:18:38
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, I know. i know.
00:18:40
Chilly
I mean, they literally have the worst two quarters of football in the league The Rams first half The Rams first half And then Buccaneers second half I mean, they are essentially the 2024 Kansas City Chiefs at the moment
00:18:47
Baker
Logically damn with him.
00:18:57
Chilly
Where they're just winning games.
00:18:58
Sully Shaheed
sotin
00:18:59
Chilly
They're just winning games and you're like, how the fuck? What? What? You didn't even have a completion. How?
00:19:06
Sully Shaheed
ah let us Let us raise the glass for all A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith owners out there.
00:19:11
Chilly
it think
00:19:13
Sully Shaheed
oh It's been real, but sorry, man.
00:19:17
Chilly
oh oh
00:19:18
Sully Shaheed
It's rough out here.
00:19:19
Chilly
then one other quarterback I'll mention.
00:19:19
Baker
Oh, fuck.
00:19:21
Chilly
um I will have a Jackson Dart lineup. I'm just going to write...
00:19:25
Baker
ah fuck
00:19:26
Chilly
I'm just going to ride that momentum.
00:19:29
Sully Shaheed
Hey, I, Hey, respect.
00:19:30
Chilly
people
00:19:31
Sully Shaheed
But I mean, as you alluded to chill, you know, with the Justin Fields take, there are paths to failure with Justin Fields. So it's like, I know that the Cowboys defense is the defense that keeps on giving. I mean, they've been the fantasy carnival for how many years now?
00:19:45
Sully Shaheed
So, I mean, the gift that just keeps on giving, but I mean, there, if you don't want to play Justin Fields, there are paths to failure here. So if you want to go somewhere else in another direction, I can totally respect that.
00:19:57
Sully Shaheed
Um, So, yeah, I can get behind it. Justin Herbert, like i said, his offensive line is dead. um But like Joe mentioned, the commanders don't have a pass rush. So it's like, what's going to give in this scenario? So I can respect that. um Obviously, the only one that y'all haven't mentioned that I'm going to be playing the hell out of is Jared Goff.
00:20:17
Sully Shaheed
I mean, these are the scenarios that Jared Goff shines, right? So when no one plays him. He puts up 350-3 somehow. And we all know the Lions are the anti-Cardinals.
00:20:29
Sully Shaheed
The lockkins it Lions ain't sitting on a lead.
00:20:29
Baker
let's take a look.
00:20:32
Sully Shaheed
They're they're going to keep scoring in abundance. So this is the prime time to fire up J-Mo, fire up Amorasi Brown. I mean, we'll get to the wide receivers. But the stacking options are...
00:20:44
Sully Shaheed
Pretty much whatever you want to do.
Team Stacking with Detroit Lions
00:20:47
Sully Shaheed
um Jared Goff can be paired with his running back, with his running backs. Not so much Sam Laporta, but Cincinnati is pretty bad against the tight end.
00:20:55
Sully Shaheed
Again, we'll get there.
00:20:56
Chilly
there they
00:20:56
Sully Shaheed
So maybe it's a Sam Laporta spot.
00:20:57
Chilly
they They they are the... They do give up like the points. They're pretty close. The only other team that's kind of close to them would be the Steelers and then the Dolphins.
00:21:08
Chilly
But Cincinnati does sit at top of ah points like kind of over expected value against tight ends..........
00:21:15
Sully Shaheed
Right. So, I mean, Jared Goff is in that prime position, especially in a larger tournament where no one's going to play him. I mean, like looking at projections, he's sub 5% right now. So we're talking about quarterbacks on this on this slate that the rushing upside is limited between Jaden Daniels, Justin Fields, Jackson Dart, potentially, and then it stops.
00:21:34
Sully Shaheed
So you're going to be looking for a pass-happy pocket quarterback. If anybody's capable of 303 and it's not garbage time, it's running everybody up time. It's Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions.
00:21:48
Chilly
ah you worried ah you i can say Are you worried about the the home road narrative you know when Jarrett Goff plays outside?
00:21:49
Sully Shaheed
Baker, did we miss anybody?
00:21:55
Sully Shaheed
not anymore. No, not anymore.
00:21:57
Chilly
i i was going to say I was going to say, it's supposed to be like 85 and sunny tomorrow in Cincinnati, so I'm not worried about it either.
00:21:58
Sully Shaheed
It's done and dusted.
00:22:07
Sully Shaheed
There you go. Baker, we miss anybody, man?
00:22:11
Baker
I don't think so. I think we can move on.
00:22:14
Sully Shaheed
Cool, cool. Let's slide to running back. Let's go ahead and bring up some of those ownership projections for you guys and the fans. We'll stick to DraftKings right now because we do have some cheapies.
00:22:24
Chilly
and you guys and got one I do got one gross quarterback play. I think this is up Baker's alley.
00:22:32
Sully Shaheed
You already mentioned Jackson Dart.
00:22:32
Chilly
this is
00:22:33
Baker
Oh.
00:22:33
Sully Shaheed
You want to get worse than this?
00:22:35
Chilly
yeah Oh, yeah, this is where Bryce Young.
00:22:35
Baker
He's about to say Bryce Young. He's going to say Bryce Young.
00:22:38
Chilly
Bryce
00:22:38
Baker
He's going to Bryce Young.
00:22:38
Sully Shaheed
I knew it. I knew it.
00:22:41
Chilly
Young. Listen, the Panthers at home are going to play a lot better than they normally do, and let's not act like Miami has some great defense. And you know who you're going to stack them with.
00:22:56
Sully Shaheed
These are facts. It's gross, but these are facts.
00:22:59
Chilly
and And you could probably put them with Rico Doddle. You know, we can subway. We can segue here.
00:23:06
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, ah Rico Dotto does have an opportunity opened up for him. He's going to be the starting running back against Miami. um And another one with Richard White. He's also going to be the starter for Tampa Bay as we have old Bucky.
00:23:21
Sully Shaheed
In a walking boot. So ah he's gonna be he's already ruled out. So we do have cheaper options to go to this week. Ownership-wise, it looks for on my end. I don't know what you guys see.
00:23:33
Sully Shaheed
But I got Devon A-Chain, JT, Brees Hall, and Amarion Hampton leading the way. And again, something's got to give, right? Because...
00:23:43
Sully Shaheed
You can't have the most owned quarterback as Justin Herbert, one of the most owned running backs in Amari and Hampton.
00:23:48
Chilly
Thank you. yes
00:23:51
Sully Shaheed
I mean, like, something's got it. Most owned quarterback, one of the most owned in Justin Fields, one most owned running backs at Breeze Hall. Like, yeah This is a slate where you can get different, and I think this is an opportunity for us to take advantage of that.
00:24:07
Sully Shaheed
So those are your top four. Rico's in a good spot as well. Richard's going to get some ownership because of, like I said, the injury and $4,700 on
00:24:16
Baker
you
00:24:16
Sully Shaheed
Javante Williams also garnering some ownership, trying to get in that Dallas game with the Jets. So, Chill, I'll start with you on this one.
Defensive Team Choices
00:24:24
Sully Shaheed
are we Are we feeding into the ownership of some of these guys, or are you looking to pivot somewhere else?
00:24:31
Chilly
No, I'm feeding into the ownership. um I mean, with Tyree Kill going down, Miami's target share gets even more condensed. um I mean, this guy easily is going to catch four to five passes a game.
00:24:47
Chilly
Again, ah let's not act like the Panthers have a great defense either.
00:24:51
Sully Shaheed
That's the floor.
00:24:51
Chilly
um I mean, literally, it's the floor.
00:24:54
Sully Shaheed
There's five catches.
00:24:54
Chilly
Yeah.
00:24:55
Sully Shaheed
That's the floor for Devon A. Chain.
00:24:57
Chilly
Again, if you want to make the argument on FanDuel, I can totally see it. um Again, here, Cincinnati. We just saw Cincinnati, I believe, give up 100 yards to Dobbins on Monday night.
00:25:09
Chilly
um Obviously, there is the – I think both Detroit running backs are in play.
00:25:10
Sully Shaheed
It,
00:25:15
Chilly
if you don't want to play Gibbs and you want to go down to Montgomery, I think that's fine. He does have like a, an incredibly, uh, like a feel good story narrative with David Montgomery. I do believe in regards to his sister. So I like, I think Dan Campbell is going to try to get him ah touchdown. So, um, if you do want to, if you do want to play the narrative on David Montgomery, i think that's fine as well. I don't, i don't think anybody's going to be playing him.
00:25:41
Chilly
So if you do want to pivot away from Gibbs, um, At that point. But I mean. You can just literally insert any cheap guy you want to make a fit. I think they all make a ton of sense.
00:25:54
Chilly
ah Between Donald. Rashad White. The only one that would scare me would be. Michael. Would be Michael Carter. That would be the one that scares me. um Only because like.
00:26:07
Chilly
Heaven forbid Tennessee does like. Do something. And the Cardinals are forced to pass.
00:26:15
Sully Shaheed
Do something.
00:26:15
Chilly
Like.
00:26:16
Baker
I'm sorry.
00:26:16
Chilly
then i Because if they are passing more, I think it would trickle down more to DeMarcardo. DeMarcardo? Kind of?
00:26:26
Sully Shaheed
I'm already Mercado.
00:26:26
Chilly
Don't know.
00:26:27
Sully Shaheed
Yep.
00:26:27
Chilly
Yeah. um So that would be my only concern there. But um I am not – nobody's playing them, but I'm not chasing the Ashton Gentry. I'm not doing that. Their offensive line is horrible.
00:26:40
Chilly
um I'm just not – I know he's back to his Michael Myers stance. Yeah. But I don't think I'm chasing that. Right. so um
00:26:51
Sully Shaheed
That's fair. That's fair. ah Baker, where you at at running back, man?
00:26:54
Baker
Yes. oh
00:26:56
Sully Shaheed
Who's toting the pill in your lineups this week?
00:26:58
Baker
I mean, I love Michael Carter. um Just as a cheapie, he's literally the men. Yeah.
00:27:04
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, he's 4K on both sites, by the way. And the men on FanDuel is basically you're on the IR.
00:27:07
Baker
Yeah.
00:27:11
Sully Shaheed
So, you know, that's ah what and what do you need out of Michael Carter to justify the 4K price?
00:27:12
Chilly
right
00:27:18
Sully Shaheed
And it's not necessarily the Michael Carter play, right, Baker? Like, I think you're going to lead into like he could do well in this spot. But the Michael Carter play is centered around what he opens up for you in the lineup at 4K.
00:27:32
Baker
He opens up the entire lineup and it's not a bad play. Like, I think like normally you're, you're, I mean, you're dumpster diving down there.
00:27:36
Sully Shaheed
Right.
00:27:40
Baker
You're like, Oh fuck. You know, what can I get out of this guy? um I think Michael Carter, you know, 10 to 15 points is realistic for him.
00:27:50
Baker
He gets anything more than that. He'll break the slate. ah But yeah, I think that's a realistic expectation for
Bold Predictions for Week 5
00:27:56
Baker
him. And at that price tag, I'm perfectly fine, you know, cause he can show me the world and somehow like, because I think because people are just not sure which Cardinals running back to play, you know, neither one of them is garnishing any ownership, which in that thought process just makes it that much better with him being the cheapest option of the cheap options.
00:28:15
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, and i to lead on to your point, and I'll let you continue, but a lot of people I think are going to stop at Richa White to say, this is the cheapie I'm going to slide in, and then kind of work their way up, because people want to play A-Chain.
00:28:15
Baker
Um,
00:28:26
Sully Shaheed
People want to play Gibbs. People want to play JT, and it's like, do I use three of my running back spots on like two cheapies and um and a big guy, or is it like You know, because I think the common folk don't know what to do at Arizona's backfield because it keeps failing them as the season goes along. So, yeah, 4K, you can do worse. Starting running back at 4K, you can definitely do worse.
00:28:52
Baker
I mean, I think Jonathan Taylor, a pound for pound, is the best play just because like he is the Colts offense. You know, there's nothing about this Vegas defense that scares me, even though, you know, statistic wise, they you know, they're not terrible against the run in any way, shape or form. But Jonathan Taylor is this offense.
00:29:08
Baker
So I think Jonathan Taylor is in another smash spot for another 100, 150 and touchdown two. and a touch bound or two Devon H. H. Like you guys said, his floor is five catches, and I think he actually can ah push for 10 catches this week, honestly.
00:29:23
Baker
So I think that's but both those guys are 1A and 1B as far as best plays pound for pound on the slate. I think the interesting one for me ah when it comes to the Chargers game, which I'm very interested in, typically the the Redskins do stop the run, or the Commanders, my apologies.
00:29:42
Baker
Amari...
00:29:42
Sully Shaheed
Oh, no, we're going cancel. He said the thing.
00:29:45
Baker
ah
00:29:46
Sully Shaheed
He said the thing.
00:29:47
Baker
ah Martin Hampton, ah yeah he has to be number three for me. I would put him above Breesaw, even though Breesaw is going garnish more ownership.
00:29:55
Baker
But i think that I think one of the the most interesting ones, you know, because everybody's going to play – people are going to play Rashad White. People are going to get to Rico Dotto as cheapers. um Cam Scadaboo had a lot of ownership last week, and for good reason.
00:30:08
Baker
He was very close to getting into the end zone.
00:30:08
Sully Shaheed
yeah
00:30:11
Baker
But I think Stone Cold from ah the longest yard, because that's how the white man runs the football.
00:30:18
Sully Shaheed
Thank you. That's how the white man runs the football. You're right.
00:30:21
Baker
um I think Cam Scadaboo, this New Orleans defense – They give it up by lane. They give it up by sea. And I think Cam, he's going to he' just looking to run somebody over as he barrels his big ass into the end zone. So Cam Scatterboo is also in a great spot.
00:30:39
Sully Shaheed
I respect that. Some of the things that are one of the funny things that we mentioned in our group chat as we have one offline is, is this a week where we can run the old Saint strategy and play both of them from the Lions?
00:30:53
Sully Shaheed
Can you feasibly put and stomach David Montgomery and Jameer Gibbs in the same lineup? I'm doing it. But this could be a week where, you know, you want to get frisky in tournaments. A, people ain't playing David Montgomery.
00:31:09
Sully Shaheed
I mean, they're just not going to do it. There's too many cheapies. there's There's too many cheapies. So people are going to skip past them. um Baker, you mentioned offline about all his homecoming narratives that he has going.
00:31:19
Sully Shaheed
um So, you know, we're going to see him in the end zone. I mean, like, even if you don't want to play him in DFS, go on the betting side and just bet the anytime touchdown and collect your money.
00:31:30
Sully Shaheed
and Okay.
00:31:31
Baker
Well, even the betting sites have gotten hip to all the narratives. And like, I think he opened up the week at like 300 plus 300 anytime.
00:31:34
Sully Shaheed
Yeah.
00:31:37
Baker
Now he's down like 175 anytime. anytime but yeah
00:31:40
Sully Shaheed
Oh, man. yeah We jumped on it too late then.
00:31:41
Baker
so Yeah, it would jump onto like, yes yes, you can.
00:31:44
Sully Shaheed
That's OK. You can still make money off that, though. You can still make the money. Still make money. um But yeah. What do you think, chill, of a team jam them in for the Lions?
00:31:54
Chilly
Yeah, I mean, if you want onslaught the Lions, that's fine. I think that's it's one of the very few teams that you can do that with. My only concern with onslaughting teams nowadays, um believe it or not, has to do with the kickoff rules.
00:32:10
Chilly
um Because with these teams starting now, if you don't get it in the landing zone, you start from the forty So you're not actually gaining as many yards nowadays as what you normally would back in the day.
00:32:23
Chilly
You're starting from the 35, you're starting from the 40. So when you're onslaughting guys, especially like these guys don't have the opportunities to get yards like they used to back in the day.
00:32:34
Chilly
And that's why I think like, that's why I think you see a lot of people now, you're almost better off kind of playing a QB with the running back and a wide receiver than I think it's really hard to kind of onslaught. But if you can't onslaught one team in the league, it is the Lions because they don't stop.
00:32:52
Chilly
But my my concern, again, my concern is, is believe it or not, it does have to do with the kickoff rules.
00:33:01
Sully Shaheed
listen, all I know is that the Lions are going to run it the hell up and the Cincinnati defense will provide no resistance. So this is the week. Baker, are you joining me in team jam them in from the Lions?
00:33:16
Baker
Oh, man, I missed that strategy.
00:33:18
Sully Shaheed
So good when it hit. So good when it hit.
00:33:21
Baker
And that that offense was just literally just those two primarily, too. So it made it that much easier to do it on a week-to-week basis because you knew, like, all right, it's Alan Kamara, it's Mark Ingram.
00:33:29
Sully Shaheed
Right.
00:33:33
Baker
Their points are coming from those guys.
00:33:35
Sully Shaheed
Yep.
00:33:36
Baker
It makes it little bit more difficult because the Lions do have so many other weapons that they can get into it. Obviously, we we kind of hinted at the fact that they we're not really interested in Sam Laporta, but would it surprise anybody if Sam Laporta had five catches for 40 yards and two touchdowns?
00:33:47
Chilly
I'm playing Sam Laporta.
00:33:50
Sully Shaheed
No.
00:33:52
Chilly
I'm playing him.
00:33:52
Sully Shaheed
No, wouldn't surprise me at all.
00:33:53
Baker
so So, like, for that reason, I'm less intrigued by it, but, it like, it doesn't like I've thought of worse things to do in fantasy than playing Jameer Gibbs and David Montgomery this week.
00:34:08
Sully Shaheed
We've all thought of worse things in fantasy football than playing two running backs from the same team.
00:34:15
Chilly
i was I will say before we go to wide receiver, I'm interested in playing two old you know veterans here in the fantasy game of Derrick Henry and Alvin Kamara.
00:34:27
Chilly
ah We saw the Giants last week. They did get carved up by Amari and Hampton. um the The Saints play really fast.
00:34:35
Sully Shaheed
eventually eventually because in that first half they were shutting that boy down
00:34:37
Chilly
say they The Saints do play really fast, and so do the Giants. So... I am intrigued by Kamara.
00:34:48
Chilly
um We'll get to wide receivers here in a second. But Derrick Henry is the Ravens offense. If they do do anything, it's going to be because of our king.
00:34:58
Sully Shaheed
Fair, fair. All right, let's slide over to the pass catchers where I'm going to break down some ownership real quick and then kick it over to Baker for his takes.
00:35:05
Baker
Thank you.
00:35:05
Sully Shaheed
Uh, Jackson Smith and Jigba on my site. Shout out to four for four, uh, leading the way in ownership followed by the God of the sun. Uh, Jalen Waddle, of course, in his new ascendant role to number one receiver in Miami.
00:35:18
Sully Shaheed
ah Garrett Wilson follows him along with George Pickens. Quentin Johnston is garnering a lot of ownership along with Ladd McConkie. So apparently the field, apparently the industry loves them some chargers this week.
00:35:33
Sully Shaheed
um Rounding out some double digit ones are going to be Nico Collins. Great matchup, of course. Chris Alave garnering some ownership. And for some reason,
00:35:44
Sully Shaheed
AJ Brown? Is it because he's 6K?
00:35:48
Baker
It's gotta be.
00:35:50
Sully Shaheed
Okay. Okay. Baker, break it down for me. who Who are you going to that's handling the pass-catching duties this week?
00:35:58
Baker
I mean, first of all, shout out to all the Ohio state Buckeyes. Just, just showing out. Like you could run a Buckeyes team this year, this week. And like Justin Fields, Jackson Smith and Jigba Garrett Wilson, throw a Mecca book in it and just run it. Ohio state all day.
00:36:13
Baker
Um,
00:36:14
Sully Shaheed
Do we have any Ohio State running backs that can support that?
00:36:19
Sully Shaheed
Where did Michael Carter go to school, damn it?
00:36:21
Baker
uh north carolina he's from north off the top of the head there uh no i'm not seeing any ohio state running backs this week unfortunately one of them is playing in london so ah
00:36:23
Sully Shaheed
Okay. All right. Fair, fair, fair, fair.
00:36:27
Sully Shaheed
Good man. Good man.
00:36:33
Sully Shaheed
Ah, rats.
00:36:34
Baker
you you you can play jk dobbins run it with jk dobbins let's go let's go um
00:36:37
Sully Shaheed
yeah that Oh, State lineup. Ohio State lineup for the win.
00:36:43
Baker
um I mean, even though Deepo Samuel is guarding ownership, I don't think it's enough considering the fact that Terry McLaurin's out. Typically, when you see your other, your your number one out, the number two or, you know, the ancillary wide receiver gets a huge boost.
00:36:57
Baker
ah So the fact that he's not garnishing more ownership is actually kind of surprising to me. Quentin Johnson is the number one. So I'm not arguing anybody who wants to play Quentin Johnson. I'm playing Quentin Johnson. I'm playing him in yearly. I'm playing him in daily.
00:37:09
Baker
I don't think I'm going against him. Thank God. By the way, Sully, I'd beat you if I played Quentin Johnson.
00:37:14
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, but you didn't beat me, Baker. And the fact of the matter is, the difference between you winning and losing was Kyle Pence. And how does that make you feel? It's got to make you feel like shit.
00:37:26
Sully Shaheed
That Kyle Pence went off, okay, and was the difference in our game. Let's go, Kyle Pence.
00:37:35
Baker
um I was on suicide watch because Kyle Pitts scored, just so you know. I mean, i've I've since calmed down. I'm back to normal. But I'm...
00:37:42
Sully Shaheed
when that When that text came through from Chill, that just said, Kyle. Yes!
00:37:48
Baker
I was watching that. I was like, you've got to be fucking kidding me. Like, you've got to be fucking kidding me.
00:37:52
Sully Shaheed
ah
00:37:54
Baker
I think...
00:37:55
Sully Shaheed
I was out in the middle of nowhere and finally got my freaking reception of Kyle.
00:37:55
Baker
man.
00:38:00
Sully Shaheed
Lost my shit, man. But anyway, I digress on my victory against you last week, but go on.
00:38:05
Baker
oh man I mean, I love Nico Collins for obvious reasons. Don't need to really go into that. I think the interesting one is Jamar Chase here, though, at the top.
00:38:14
Sully Shaheed
Thank you. I was going to mention them, but ride it out.
00:38:16
Baker
up obviously obviously we Obviously, the Lions are the Lions.
00:38:17
Sully Shaheed
Go right ahead.
00:38:20
Baker
You're playing Lions. Cool. Sully is going to play every single Lion. What's the max? You can play five Lions at five if one team in a lineup.
00:38:27
Sully Shaheed
Four on FanDuel now. So it's literally Goff, both the running backs and the Sun God.
00:38:32
Baker
and Okay, there you go. But I think Jamar Chase is just getting lost here. he I just saw that he had a meeting in which he just so he called everybody out and said, like hey, like where's the hunger? like where are we what what What are we doing here? like there's We're not playing with any hunger. We're not playing with any sense of urgency.
00:38:47
Baker
So I think...
00:38:48
Sully Shaheed
Where's the bangle in you?
00:38:50
Baker
I see what you did there because they're the Bengals and Bengals are like, okay.
00:38:51
Chilly
Mm-hmm.
00:38:55
Baker
But Jamar Chase is... We know the ceiling of him. I mean, I wish he was a little bit cheaper. It would make me stomach that 7,800 price tag a little bit better because he really needs to drop 30 to really...
00:39:04
Sully Shaheed
For sure.
00:39:08
Baker
pay it off I mean, 22 would pay it off, but 30 is what I'm really hoping for whenever I play Jamar Chase. But if there's one way you're going to attack this Lions team, it's going to be vi via the air anyway. And you give him an inch, he's taking a mile. So Jamar Chase is a great run back in that game. i absolutely love Jamar Chase.
00:39:25
Baker
Outside of that, everybody else was a great player. They're popular, and they're popular for a reason. I don't know if I'll get to Ladd McCockney, though. He is getting out-targeted, out-run routes, and all the things by everybody.
00:39:36
Baker
Keenan Allen's out is ah out equal or out targeting him. Quinton Johnson is the clear number one. And when it comes to end zone and red zone targets, what does have two on the entire year? It's absolutely insane.
00:39:47
Chilly
i will I will make a small a small argument for him.
00:39:47
Baker
So, um,
00:39:52
Chilly
Again, you don't have to play him because the other two wide receivers are doing great as well. um So, again, again this is this is allegedly, and again, this is through the vine, through the news, but um through somebody that I do follow, ah they did say that Ladd has been injured all season.
00:40:11
Chilly
um They are just not putting him the injured like report. Um, so that's a lot of the reason why he could.
00:40:21
Chilly
um I will also say that the commanders are dead last against slot wide receivers. So with lag going more into the slot potentially, um I mean, it's either this game or never right for him.
00:40:36
Chilly
And at 5,500, I think that's the only reason why he's popular it's because his price is so cheap. But, um again, the other two wide receivers make total sense.
00:40:48
Chilly
We know there's probably, i mean, Johnston averages like three to four YOLO balls a game. So, and we just watched, you know, the Falcons carve up this defense.
00:40:58
Baker
Thank you.
00:40:59
Chilly
So, again, I totally get it. Yeah. You know, obviously Ladd and Keenan aren't garden aren't garnering as much ownership as he is, but that is the argument I can make for him. Now, again, you go look at Ladd's stats, they're horrible.
00:41:15
Chilly
All right? As somebody who owns him in fantasy football, it's ah it's been rough. It's been real rough. But that those would be the couple points that I can – he is getting healthier, and the commanders are really bad against slot wide receivers.
00:41:31
Sully Shaheed
And Baker, kind of leeching off your point to the Jamar Chase thing, because I'm loading up Jamar Chase in the Lions on slot stacks, is that the Lions aren't healthy in the secondary. They lost two more cornerbacks last week who are officially out for the game. They're literally starting guys off the practice squad in that secondary.
00:41:47
Sully Shaheed
And we all know that they're going to get Cincinnati is going to get behind potentially early. And I know Jake from State Farm hasn't looked great, but... He did have, you know, a decent game when he came in for an injured Joe Burrow against the bad secondary. The Lions are a bad secondary.
00:42:02
Sully Shaheed
I mean, A, they're hurt, and B, they're not playing well. So if anybody's going to produce on this side, I would be fine with, if even if you can get to Tee Higgins, that's great. But Jamar Chase is the one.
00:42:12
Sully Shaheed
And again, if you need something to differentiate your lineup from the top, I know it's expensive. I know it's going cost you a little bit, you know, stomach in that price tag. But if anybody can smash smash a slate at the top, it's Jamar Chase.
00:42:25
Sully Shaheed
So I would say I have no problem loading up any time I can reach to Jamar Chase in this particular scenario and in this matchup. So I can get behind that that take. I was very high on Jamar Chase this week, and I'm going to stay that way leading into the finalization.
00:42:42
Sully Shaheed
of ah lineups tonight as we get into the rest of the plays. So Baker, go right ahead.
00:42:49
Baker
what one last One last play. Speaking of corners being out, made me think of it. Seattle's number one corner. he's out he's gonna be He's not going to be playing this week either. So I think Emeka Buka is like, he's done nothing but show the fact that like i I'm living up to the hype that everybody was giving me this preseason.
00:43:07
Baker
It was a tough matchup last week versus the Eagles. Still showed out. His price tag has continued to go up, and I think this isn't the that ah the highest that we'll see it. I think by end the season, he'll be in that 7.5, pushing 8K range, depending.
00:43:22
Baker
So I think you're still getting a little bit of a discount on him at 6.9. But think... but
00:43:25
Sully Shaheed
Emeka Abuka every week, bro.
00:43:28
Chilly
Um,
00:43:30
Baker
is But yeah, um and I think that's also a fun way if you're going to play the Jackson Smith, my ninja side of it. You know, just like I said, just run your Ohio State, you know, trio, gar ah Garrett, Jackson Smith, Emeka, Buka, and just let Ohio State lead you to victory.
00:43:48
Sully Shaheed
That's, I mean, that's a solid core, bro. I'm not going to hold you. That's a solid core.
00:43:51
Chilly
um since we are you know Since we are mixing in the secret menu here a little bit, I do have and do have two kind of like questionable plays or gross plays, as we'll call it.
00:44:02
Chilly
ah We do have Darius break the slate Slayton.
00:44:06
Sully Shaheed
Ah, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for bringing him up
00:44:09
Chilly
um
00:44:09
Sully Shaheed
Appreciate that.
00:44:10
Chilly
so um I'll probably play him in my and my dart stacks. um I mean, Wandale's the safer route, but The Saints have no pass rush, so I do expect. And again, i mean, Jackson Dern at this point is his first read, and then they told that man, you run.
00:44:30
Chilly
you you You run and you keep running.
00:44:31
Sully Shaheed
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:44:33
Chilly
And then one more kind of, again, it's gross. If for whatever reason you need salary relief at the wide receiver position, which you shouldn't, which you shouldn't, Malik Washington for the Dolphins ah does step into the wide receiver two role.
00:44:41
Baker
You shouldn't. You should not.
00:44:50
Chilly
Again, if you want if you want to say it's Waller, again, that's fine. But if you do need, he is 3,900, again, going up against the Panthers. Again, if you for whatever reason, if you need some other clunker in the lineup, not the worst way to go.
00:45:08
Baker
Aidy Mitchell, duh. He'll actually hold on to the ball this time.
00:45:12
Chilly
Are they actually going to let him play?
00:45:12
Sully Shaheed
Stop it. Stop it. but
00:45:15
Baker
I think they will.
00:45:15
Chilly
like is he are is he And that's a legit question because he is the sole reason why he they lost the game. The fumble and the hold.
00:45:23
Baker
Alec Pierce is out again, so I think he's still going to get onto the field.
00:45:26
Chilly
I mean, ah i Baker, I hope you're right. But they may just be like, bro, you kind of just screwed us last game.
00:45:29
Baker
but
00:45:34
Chilly
Like, bench is was a great play until, you know, he till they forgot where the end zone was.
00:45:35
Baker
I mean, the amount of Adonai Mitchell I had last week was absolutely disturbing. And when I saw the actual play, and I saw... It
00:45:47
Baker
wasn't even like he was showboating. He was just trying to move the ball in his hands, and he just...
00:45:50
Sully Shaheed
forgive I mean, people are going to play k Chris Lavi.
00:45:55
Chilly
and then ah And then again, like, one other guy I'll mention, like, i ah Chris Alave. it's It's gross, but the Giants are pretty bad against wide receivers. um So, again, I'll mention Alave, but I think we kind of covered all the main guys here.
00:46:11
Chilly
um
00:46:11
Baker
well Just play Ohio State. Play Ohio State. Chris Alabe, Marvin Harrison, if you only want to th throw him in there too. Play Ohio State receiver.
00:46:21
Sully Shaheed
There's only four spots you can play receivers at, Baker. Not every Ohio State receiver is a good play this week, even though every Ohio State player is a freaking good play this week.
00:46:27
Baker
I'm sorry.
00:46:33
Sully Shaheed
Damn it! Now I got to go back in make another Justin Fields plus Ohio State lineup. I mean, i got now I got to do it.
00:46:41
Baker
Oh, Lord Jesus. that I mean, that i mean that's that's the lineup right there.
00:46:43
Sully Shaheed
just Just for the memes.
00:46:47
Baker
It's just run Ohio State and somehow...
00:46:48
Sully Shaheed
for For the memes. It's so sad that a running back is going to have to be inserted in that lineup that's not from Ohio State this week.
00:46:55
Baker
I mean, we got we're going to throw some J.K. Dobbins and pray that he falls into the end zone again.
00:46:59
Sully Shaheed
That's it. That's the best we can do. Sorry. But that other spot, I wish we could just leave it blank.
00:47:07
Baker
Right?
00:47:09
Sully Shaheed
Uh, honorable mention goes to, uh, Michael Pittman as well. 5,100 on draft Kings. Um, he's just been solid the entire season.
00:47:13
Chilly
Yeah.
00:47:15
Sully Shaheed
Great matchup. Um, if you want to pivot a little bit off of the Jonathan Taylor chalk, I think Michael Pittman is a good way to do it. Same with, uh, and we'll go ahead and enter the tight end realm with another popular, uh, tight end on the slate in, uh, Ty Warren.
00:47:30
Sully Shaheed
So it's just like, if you want to get off that chalk and kind of go to pity city, I will not have a problem with that, but yeah.
00:47:36
Baker
Hold on, we're going to tight ends now?
00:47:41
Baker
yeah
00:47:41
Chilly
okay um I mean, as as Sully mentioned, the most popular tight end on on the slate this week is Tyler Warren. um Basically, at this point, if you're not playing him, Trey McBride, or Jake the Snake, ah you're you're different.
00:47:56
Sully Shaheed
You're different.
00:47:58
Chilly
um I mean, at this point, Tyler Warren is just cheaper Trey McBride. Oh, and he does have the rushing floor.
00:48:06
Baker
The Russian floor.
00:48:07
Sully Shaheed
The rushing floor.
00:48:09
Chilly
I mean, he did run a decent amount in college, believe it or not. So it's like, it's not, it's not like out of the ah the realm there, but yeah, I mean, tight end this week.
00:48:12
Baker
He did.
00:48:17
Sully Shaheed
Right, which doesn't that just put like, I mean, understand JT has been absolutely phenomenal this year, but like now you're getting rushing touchdowns sniped by your tight end and your quarterback. Like the path to 100 yards and zero for JT is real.
00:48:33
Chilly
Or you're getting sniped by Adonai Mitchell. Cause you know, holding.
00:48:40
Sully Shaheed
That.
00:48:41
Baker
Does AD Mitchell not feel bad enough? Must you continue to throw dirt on this man?
00:48:46
Chilly
I'm not throwing dirt if it's true.
00:48:49
Sully Shaheed
Stop! He's already dead.
00:48:53
Chilly
Like, if I was, like, legitimately slandering him on some nonsense, that'd be, like, I agree. Like, hey, and everything I'm saying is factual.
00:49:04
Baker
So disappointed in you. So disappointed to you.
00:49:06
Chilly
yeah i think you're disappointed I think you're disappointed in him for dropping the ball on the one-inch line.
00:49:06
Sully Shaheed
But he's not wrong.
00:49:13
Baker
I am.
00:49:14
Chilly
Yeah, yeah.
00:49:15
Baker
I so am.
00:49:15
Chilly
right
00:49:19
Baker
ah
00:49:20
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, as Chill alluded to, man, you know, you don't play those top three guys. You're different. um The one interesting one, as we mentioned earlier in the show, is probably Sam Laporta. um the he wears a lot in He wears a Lions jersey, so he's in play.
00:49:28
Chilly
but Love Sam Laporta.
00:49:34
Sully Shaheed
um Cincinnati, absolutely atrocious against the tight end. I think it'd be one of those games where we wouldn't be surprised if, um you know, Sam Laporta goes four for 50 and two. Like, no one should be surprised if that's the stat line.
00:49:45
Baker
Oh.
00:49:46
Sully Shaheed
Um, so if you want to get off a little bit of ownership from those top guys, I think Sam LaPorta makes an interesting bet. Um, same with Juwan Johnson. If his ankle holds up and he's able to play, I think that getting into, you know, some of the new Orleans side of the, of the, uh, of the offense could be a good way to do it with Juwan Johnson. He still remains relatively affordable.
00:50:05
Sully Shaheed
And then, Another guy that's been increasing his target share week by week by week is the sperm of Mr. Taylor. So we're talking Mason Taylor in this one. I mean, we went with what four for 55 something last week.
00:50:19
Sully Shaheed
So like as his target share continues to increase, I think that option one, a of course is Garrett Wilson. One B is Breeze hall. And then everybody else, the everybody else belongs to Mason Taylor.
00:50:29
Chilly
I mean, he's $2,800.
00:50:30
Sully Shaheed
So if you want to get cheap,
00:50:34
Chilly
I do believe this other guy is cheaper, and he's in a he's actually $100 more. ah Tommy Tremble against the Dolphins. ah do dolphins are really ah The Dolphins are really bad against tight end.
00:50:44
Sully Shaheed
Not Tommy. He did.
00:50:50
Chilly
so just going to point that out there because I believe Taylor had a good game against Miami on Monday night. so
00:50:58
Baker
you did
00:50:59
Sully Shaheed
did
00:50:59
Chilly
So, Tommy Tremble. Again, dolphins the Dolphins defense is just putrid. So, um if you really want to get different and you're not concerned with the injury because he definitely is injured, nobody's playing Brock Bowers.
00:51:16
Chilly
It's gross. Again, it is. We are dipping into the contrarian part of the show.
00:51:21
Sully Shaheed
Yeah.
00:51:21
Chilly
Nobody's playing Brock Bowers. Again,
00:51:26
Sully Shaheed
We know he's capable.
00:51:28
Chilly
he's hurt.
00:51:28
Sully Shaheed
It's just we have, he's capable of breaking a slate.
00:51:29
Chilly
like he he he is her hurt he is He is hurt.
00:51:31
Sully Shaheed
We haven't seen it.
00:51:33
Chilly
is hurt. like Let's be real.
00:51:34
Baker
Thank you.
00:51:34
Chilly
like He needs to sit out a game. I don't think with that big-ass brace and everything, like i there's no doubt in my mind that that dude is like legitimately hurt.
00:51:37
Sully Shaheed
Mm-hmm.
00:51:45
Chilly
by I mean, tight end that could break the slate at 1% ownership. Brock Bowers.
00:51:55
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, he's not wrong.
00:51:56
Chilly
Again, gross. It's gross. But this is that part of the show where we get gross. We get in the weeds.
00:52:04
Sully Shaheed
Baker, anything gross for a tight end or we kind of just, hey, whoever fits for you because you hate the tight end position?
00:52:10
Baker
I abstain.
00:52:11
Chilly
Baker, who you would legitimately want to play a tight end? Like, legit. Legit.
00:52:16
Baker
I think Jake i think jake i think ja the Snake's the best tight end play on the game, in the slate.
00:52:16
Chilly
but
00:52:19
Chilly
Okay. and And I don't and i don't this disagree with you. i do Me, personally, if if I can probably jam in a guy, it's probably Laporta. Because no I don't think Laporta's ownership is going to be low.
00:52:32
Chilly
And Cincinnati is like putrid.
00:52:33
Sully Shaheed
I mean, nothing.
00:52:35
Chilly
And they're putrid against the tight end. But, I mean, Jake the Snake can come out and catch like nine passes, so.
00:52:42
Sully Shaheed
For sure. For sure. And I mean, you know, God, well, Deontay Johnson gets the sauce this week. So, you know,
00:52:52
Chilly
yeah you
00:52:57
Sully Shaheed
I'm just saying, so Deontay Johnson might be limited a little bit, even though sauce has been sauce, but, you know,
00:53:00
Chilly
but Dude, sauce has been
00:53:02
Baker
um
00:53:04
Chilly
bad
00:53:05
Sully Shaheed
terrible, terrible, but you might get the sauce. And, and for those listeners and viewers that don't know the bit, I am talking about George Pickens. I called him Deontay Johnson one time and I'm sticking with it the rest of the season.
00:53:19
Sully Shaheed
So if you hear me say Deontay Johnson, I'm referring to George Pickens. Okay. Just to clear that up. All right. Uh, defense on draft Kings. looks like the cheapy Texans are leading the way against the backup quarterback, which completely understand that play.
00:53:34
Chilly
So I have the saints as the chalk.
00:53:38
Sully Shaheed
I have the Saints as well. I was just starting with the Texans because they're, oh, you know what? The Saints are 2,200. I apologize. So, yeah, ah the Saints defense leading the way behind or right in front of the Texans.
00:53:49
Sully Shaheed
And then nobody's really double digits. If you want to pay all the way up to the Lions, you got that. um The only defense I'm playing is the Cardinals because they going against the Titans.
00:54:02
Sully Shaheed
So I'm playing the Cardinals and I'm not looking at another defense, but that's just me. But, you know, I don't know.
00:54:10
Chilly
aye if If I'm paying up this week at defense, um like you said, the Cardinals, um the other two pay-up defenses I would be looking at would probably be the Colts.
00:54:18
Baker
Thank you.
00:54:23
Chilly
um Because, again, the Raiders have an absolutely god-awful offensive line. And Geno Smith could throw three touchdowns or three picks, or both. Yeah.
00:54:35
Chilly
And then the other team that I kind of want to take a look at is the Eagles at home.
00:54:44
Sully Shaheed
You think Bo Nix is going to turn into Bo Picks?
00:54:47
Chilly
I mean, he he could. i mean, I think that it's going to be an ugly game. ah Denver is coming off of the you know the Monday night, so it is you know the short week.
00:54:58
Chilly
um Phillies at home. and the same In the same light, the Denver can win that game. So it's it's the Eagles. What you get what you get. But other than that, other net i think like the Giants' defense isn't isn't a bad play either.
00:55:09
Sully Shaheed
Yep, that's right. That's right.
00:55:16
Chilly
like they do It is Spencer Rattler, and they do get they do have a great D-line, so they can get sacks. So I think if you want to play...
00:55:23
Sully Shaheed
That's the funny thing about Spencer Rattler, though. The man doesn't turn over the ball. They just can't move it.
00:55:27
Chilly
He's not... Well, they move it, it's just at a snail's pace.
00:55:32
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, they run a lot of plays that are very, very short. And remember, the low-end interceptions for the Bills came at the hands of Chris Alave, not Spencer Rattler. So it's just like, I don't like playing de defense. is like Yes, the Giants can garner a lot of pressure. The defensive front is sexy.
00:55:48
Sully Shaheed
However, we need strip sacks. We need punt returns, kickoff returns, whatever the case is, to score that exorbitant amount of points. And I don't think Spencer Rattler is the turnover machine that he might, you know, they're going to lose. Yeah.
00:56:01
Sully Shaheed
Because Spencer Rattler has yet to win an NFL game, but he doesn't really turn the ball over.
00:56:01
Chilly
Oh.
00:56:08
Sully Shaheed
So, yeah,
00:56:10
Chilly
yeah It's eh, I mean, but just tossing it out there.
00:56:12
Sully Shaheed
yeah it's an eh. But, yeah, I get why people are going to the cheaper defenses. Baker, are you going anywhere else besides the cheapies?
00:56:19
Baker
I mean, Cardinals defense is the best play. ah letian Let's just be real here.
00:56:21
Sully Shaheed
Thank you.
00:56:23
Baker
ah car
00:56:23
Sully Shaheed
Thank you.
00:56:24
Baker
The fact that there's ownership above the Cardinals is amazing to me. ah
00:56:28
Sully Shaheed
The money.
00:56:29
Chilly
Houston, ah probably Houston second, right?
00:56:29
Sully Shaheed
It's the money.
00:56:33
Chilly
Play Houston.
00:56:35
Baker
I'm seeing the Saints one, Lions two, and Cardinals three.
00:56:38
Sully Shaheed
so people are going to play up to get to the Lions? I mean, it's not a bad play, by all means.
00:56:42
Chilly
So what what I have, I have Saints number one, i have the Lions two, Cardinals three, Texans four, and then ah Seahawks at five?
00:56:55
Chilly
I mean, Baker...
00:56:56
Baker
I feel like we're looking at the same thing.
00:56:58
Chilly
I mean, Baker Mayfield does – he will turn over the ball. And they could they could be passing more because I don't know if they want to run with Shaw White.
00:57:10
Sully Shaheed
And they're on the road. Yeah, I get all that. But yeah, just just play the Cardinals, guys.
00:57:13
Chilly
Do – yeah, yeah, let's let's be real.
00:57:14
Sully Shaheed
Just play the Cardinals.
00:57:16
Chilly
if you can If you can make the Cardinals work, make the Cardinals work, and then – no, you can make it work.
00:57:19
Sully Shaheed
Just play the Cardinals.
00:57:21
Baker
Oh, you can make it work. You can make it work.
00:57:23
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, just make it work. Play the Cardinals.
00:57:26
Chilly
you could make it work
00:57:26
Sully Shaheed
Fuck all that. Just play the Cardinals.
00:57:28
Chilly
But also, the Colts at home would probably be my second pick.
00:57:28
Sully Shaheed
um
00:57:32
Sully Shaheed
Fair. Baker, where you at for your favorite stack of the week? What are you putting the money on the line with? And of course, you have to give me something bold.
00:57:46
Baker
to say three things right now. Last defense, the last defense that I'll say, considering they didn't have a completed pass in the second half, the Broncos, just because of that, the Eagles did not complete pass in the second half.
00:57:48
Sully Shaheed
Cool.
00:57:56
Baker
So yes, give me the Broncos defense.
00:57:57
Sully Shaheed
Against the vaunted Tampa Bay secondary.
00:57:58
Baker
Okay.
00:58:01
Chilly
They're so bad.
00:58:02
Baker
Favorite favor stack.
00:58:03
Sully Shaheed
So bad.
00:58:04
Baker
yeah I mean, it's a skinny stack. We're just going to J. Daniels and Debo Samuel. That's my favorite stack.
00:58:09
Chilly
Smart. It's a good stack. It's a
00:58:11
Sully Shaheed
Like it.
00:58:11
Baker
and And to get bold with it, I'm staying in the same game. J. Daniels, he has 75 yards on the ground with a rushing touchdown with 305 in the air and three and three more passing touchdowns.
00:58:20
Sully Shaheed
Okay.
00:58:23
Sully Shaheed
Whoa.
00:58:25
Baker
Four touchdowns, 300 in the air, 75 on the ground. Let's go, J. Daniels. Bring me the money.
00:58:31
Chilly
It is bold.
00:58:31
Sully Shaheed
Wow.
00:58:33
Chilly
I don't know if he'll be running that much, but i do like it because he will be playing with the brace.
00:58:40
Sully Shaheed
Fair, fair. Chili, what you got? Favorite stack and give me some bowl.
00:58:44
Chilly
All right. ah My favorite real stack this week. Let me take a look here. It's gross. I'll probably just burn my money, honestly, on CJ Stroud and Nico.
00:58:56
Chilly
think that's fine. Again, Baltimore, it's seven starters. If this isn't the week for CJ Stroud, it ain't coming.
00:59:03
Baker
It's never coming.
00:59:04
Sully Shaheed
it's that It ain't coming.
00:59:04
Baker
Never coming.
00:59:06
Chilly
It's never coming. ah my My favorite secondary stack, just for the bet at this point, is Jackson Dart and Break the Slate Slayton. um And then my bold my bold call.
00:59:19
Chilly
would be, i think, Jackson Dart. you know ja You know, he thinks Jane Daniels is a runner, all right? um day think Jackson Dart gets the bonus on the ground.
00:59:32
Baker
Oh.
00:59:36
Sully Shaheed
Whoa.
00:59:37
Baker
what Oh, i mean, he said, I see you're bold and I raise you.
00:59:38
Sully Shaheed
Whoa.
00:59:43
Chilly
Okay.
00:59:44
Sully Shaheed
I mean, man. Okay. Okay. Obviously, as you've noticed in the show, the lions are my favorite stack. Every last one of them. Lions.
00:59:54
Chilly
I will say the Lions, do like the Lions are probably my favorite stack as well, but i was leaving them for solid.
00:59:57
Sully Shaheed
Lions.
01:00:01
Sully Shaheed
The Lions. Just play the Lions. Just all of them. ah Here's your bowl call. It's not even that bowl. The Lions going plus 50 this week. They will hang 50 plus on the Cincinnati Bengals this week.
01:00:16
Sully Shaheed
And... Both David Montgomery and Jameer Gibbs are going to be plus 25 DraftKings scorers. And the Sun God is going to be a plus 20 DraftKings scorer.
01:00:31
Sully Shaheed
And Jared Goff is hitting the bonus. Okay. With 300 yards passing. All right. And the receiver that you need to actually win the slate is Jamar Chase on the other side.
01:00:47
Chilly
I like it. ah like
01:00:50
Baker
Have you lost your goddamn mind?
01:00:53
Chilly
It's for the bet.
