thedfsdeli
Week one of the NFL season is behind us as we move on to week two. I have some breaking news to to to tell everybody that I too am suing Deshaun Watson for assault on my eyes.
Meet the DFS Deli Hosts: Sully, Baker, and Chill
00:00:14

Cuz the performance that he gave last week was downright deplorable, insulting, but we're here to talk about DFS. Week two, DFS Delhi hit the open signs and here we go.
00:00:48
thedfsdeli
And welcome in to the DFS deli. I am the proprietor of this delicatessen Sully Alicia he'd and I am joined tonight.

00:01:38
thedfsdeli
Cute girl seems nice never got mentioned by name. um Anybody that minus me bashing my soon to be ex wife has not been mentioned by name. So Stephanie should be proud that she got brought up in conversation in your absence.
00:01:51
thedfsdeli
So yes, there's a first here on the DFS daily.
00:01:55
thedfsdeli
So
00:01:55
Baker
Yeah, shout out to her.
00:01:56
Baker
She's back home. She's back on the West Coast, which is the best coast, so which gives me time to, you know, be here with you guys and talk some fake football and.
00:02:04
thedfsdeli
it's It's.
Deshaun Watson's Impact on the Browns
00:02:06
Baker
As long as Sally, you're also suing Deshaun Watson. That means the Browns can stop paying him, so I'm happy you're doing that.
00:02:12
thedfsdeli
Well, someone's got to take action, so it might as well be your boy. So again, we got to, we got to ixnay the Sean Watson a from the Browns.
00:02:23
thedfsdeli
a So they can.
00:02:24
Baker
I mean, we can we can get the famous. Famous! Bring it!
00:02:29
thedfsdeli
we We need to be eating some dubs man. And we certainly ain't doing that with the Sean Watson chili. What's up, bro. Welcome back to work. How's everything going?
00:02:37
Chilly
It's going good. I mean we're going into week two here week one wasn't incredibly bad, but it's getting ready to Dive on into week two and see what we got going here for us
00:02:51
thedfsdeli
Absolutely.
Cheers to Injured and Underperforming Players
00:02:52
thedfsdeli
And if you don't know what we do here on the DFS Delhi, we of course go position by position to break down our favorite plays on the slate from each but position. But as tradition, as one week passes, we must do one thing and one thing only.
00:03:06
Baker
Oh, God.
00:03:09
thedfsdeli
As we raise the glass for our fallen injured players and those that didn't perform to any expectation, CMC, rest in peace, your number one overall pick in your leagues.
00:03:22
thedfsdeli
and anyone else that I may have missed, but CMC is the big one. Raheem Mostart, another one, raise the glass.
00:03:29
Baker
Hooking the core.
00:03:30
thedfsdeli
Hookah Nakua, raise the glass. So cheers, salute, and we hope to see you all healthy soon.
00:03:38
thedfsdeli
And it's funny that we mentioned those too, because as we get to certain positions, we might be building with seven man rosters.
Week Two Matchups Preview
00:03:47
thedfsdeli
this week because of said injuries. So what we'll get there, but it's going to be an interesting week to build because a lot of the heavier hitters are off the slate. Obviously we got Josh Allen and the dolphins playing tomorrow and it was going to be some other teams missing, but this slate, although it seems a little ugly, there's some plays there. We only have two games that are even rivaling the 50 point total.
00:04:11
thedfsdeli
And even with what looks like on paper to be a good matchup, I think the Bengals suck so bad that they can't even get close to a 50 point total even when they're playing the Chiefs.
00:04:22
thedfsdeli
So we'll get there. But Baker, before we move forward, let's take a step
Kyler Murray's DFS Influence
00:04:28
thedfsdeli
back. That was week one, man.
00:04:30
Baker
Fuck week one I Mean Kyler, you know, he started off hot start off hot.
00:04:32
thedfsdeli
Okay, cool, cool.
00:04:38
Baker
It's like I would have a day whoo-hoo and He cool it off quicker than my bedroom when Stephanie left like I Mean I'm just I'm just saying
00:04:46
thedfsdeli
Wow. Wow. A lot of sexual innuendos tonight.
00:04:54
thedfsdeli
But a good reference. I understand.
00:04:56
thedfsdeli
I understand.
00:04:56
Baker
Thank you.
00:04:57
thedfsdeli
Yep, absolutely.
00:04:57
Baker
You know, I mean he said I'm thinking
DFS Missed Opportunities: James Connor
00:05:00
Baker
I'm sharp.
00:05:00
Baker
I play Kyla Marriott low ownership. I get Marvin Harrison at low ownership. Marvin Harrison's over here doing jumping jacks in the fucking end zone. And Kyla's like, Oh, i just I just didn't see him. You know, there's a lot for me to process out here.
00:05:13
thedfsdeli
correct. We weren't sharp enough. We didn't galaxy brain it because the play was James Connor kind of missed it.
00:05:18
Baker
The play was James Connor.
00:05:19
thedfsdeli
It was, we kind of missed that, but yeah, but still, yeah, but that's okay.
00:05:22
Baker
Absolutely. fucking
00:05:23
thedfsdeli
We hit on some other things. Ain't that right? Chill. How was week one?
00:05:27
Chilly
Oh, week one was OK. I mean, walked out a little bit of a small loser, which is fine. Would have been a really good day if in my afternoon only lineup I would have played Dobbins over the Gus bus. That would have got me second place in a GPP. But again, it's week one. It's coin flip week. Landed on the wrong side. We move on and get ready to go into week two.
00:05:53
thedfsdeli
That's right. Like I said, there was some misses, but there was some, I mean, obviously the biggest one, I mean, he didn't break it, breaking, breaking the slate, but I mean the motto here on the deli.
DFS Deli's Mike Evans Strategy
00:06:03
thedfsdeli
And if y'all don't know, you should definitely hit that subscribe button and the notification bell. So, you know, when we upload episodes on YouTube,
00:06:11
thedfsdeli
and on your favorite podcasting subscription services, make sure you subscribe so you know the motto of the DFS deli, Mike Evans every week, bro. The man is just, he's timeless like Tony storm, no matter how old he gets, he just gets dubs. So when we say blake Mike Evans, you play the hell out of some Mike Evans, but I digress, we'll get there. My biggest miss of course, Daniel Jones.
00:06:43
thedfsdeli
Wow. um Wow. I mean, there wasn't like a lot of huge QB scores. Like, you know, Josh Allen did his thing, you know, but he was pricey. So he kind of like got there, but didn't really i get there, get there. Derek Carr, even with a four touchdown performance, didn't even throw for 200 yards. So like that was okay, you know? And then again, these rushing quarterbacks that just kind of get there, we saw even at a beat down, Jay Daniels get there, you know, with his rushing four, gotta have the rushing four.
00:07:11
thedfsdeli
And, uh, you know, there, there was some Sam Darnell sightings as well. Weirdly enough.
00:07:18
Baker
As you stated off air, PFF is number one rated quarterback after week one.
00:07:22
thedfsdeli
Yeah. Well, he was, uh, so I think he was like a fractional point behind the aforementioned Derek Carr, but still right up there.
00:07:29
Baker
Okay.
00:07:32
thedfsdeli
I mean, to do what went 15 straight completions at one point before he threw an incomplete pass.
00:07:36
Chilly
Yeah.
00:07:39
thedfsdeli
which is like the bizarro world version of the Sean Watson seeing is how he went 0 for 15 on throws more than 10 yards. What NFL level quarterback could pull that off?
00:07:50
Baker
Daniel Jones.
00:07:50
Chilly
They shall want to.
00:07:51
thedfsdeli
Hey, Dale Jones completed some passes now feeling okay. And like I said, Daniel Jones, at least has the rushing for you at 30 yards rushing.
00:08:00
thedfsdeli
The Sean Watson did not.
00:08:00
Chilly
Russian.
00:08:03
thedfsdeli
So, but I mean, here we are, man, why we're talking about quarterback.
QB Picks for Week Two: Spotlight on Kyler Murray
00:08:06
thedfsdeli
Let's just jump into it. Let's talk about the quarterback position here for week one. And of course there's some interesting plays and Baker, I'll start with you. Who are you going to, and it's an early look. It's only Wednesday flying about 50,000 feet above, above land before we start our final descent as we get close to the weekend, get closer to to ownership projections, things like that. But initial thoughts on the slate, who are we feeling this week?
00:08:34
Baker
I mean, my initial thought is I'm a glutton for punishment. That is my initial thought. You know, like, why would I want to go back to Kyler if he just burned me? Well, as we're going to talk about, there's some very chalky plays in that game and why the hell not just try to get, you know, the access from the other side. So by default, I'm interested in Kyler Murray again. And if he fails again, just know that I'll be at home or wherever the hell I'll be watching football on Sunday.
00:09:03
Baker
crying. Just a very sad panda.
00:09:05
thedfsdeli
Well, Baker, you're just gonna go back to in week three, and then week four, and then week five. And then- I mean, I suppose, but still.
00:09:12
Baker
Somewhere in there, he's going to have a bye week.
00:09:17
Baker
So I'll be forced not to play him again. Maybe he'll have a prime time game. I don't know.
00:09:24
thedfsdeli
You think they would put the Cardinals on prime time? Holy shit.
00:09:27
Baker
Kyler's a name, I guess.
00:09:29
thedfsdeli
Marvin Harrison. you know Yeah, they they could be flashy. You're right. You're right. I can look at their schedule in a second, but, you know, they probably got a prime time game, but not Sunday. So, but yeah, I mean, you know, I was with you last week about playing Kyler. I feel the exact same way. You know, one of the highest point totals on the board anyway. um So yeah, I think if they there's a game, there's going to be some fireworks. Then I think Kyler probably could be a very, very good way to go about things. So who else you got?
00:09:55
Baker
I mean, I think that obviously I'm saying their their offense didn't have to do much because they were playing the Browns. I think their offense could potentially you know have one of those nuclear blow up spots at home.
00:10:06
Chilly
Thank you.
00:10:07
Baker
And their team implied totals also up there as well. So I think Dak Prescott has to be in play for me this week too.
00:10:13
thedfsdeli
I like that Prescott this week, actually. um His prices is nice. $7,600 on Fandula. That puts him below. That puts him 100 below Anthony Richardson. 100 above Kyler. um So yeah, I think that Dakota could be a good play, especially if Lattimore is hurt, right? Again?
00:10:30
Baker
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if he is. I haven't checked New Orleans practice schedule yet or practice reports, but wouldn't but would not surprise me.
00:10:34
thedfsdeli
Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:37
Baker
Marshawna had a more known to miss games.
00:10:39
thedfsdeli
Yeah, and you know, they already beat up one, Norah's already beat up one over, over paid quarterback. So I don't know if they could do it again, but
00:10:46
Baker
And the interesting thing with the Cowboys is, you know, one of their pass catchers is hurt and Jake Ferguson potentially he could miss this game. So it just makes the stacking options that much easier.
00:10:55
thedfsdeli
So Dak and Brandon cooks for you. Got it. Got it. Got it. Got it. I don't know any other Cowboys receiver. So that's fair.
00:11:02
Baker
right there for you, buddy.
00:11:04
thedfsdeli
ah Baker, you gave me two names. Chill. Ooh, look at that quarterback.
00:11:10
Chilly
Yeah, I mean, just taking a look at quarterbacks this week, um you know, generally, I think the highest point total of the game this week is Tampa Bay in Detroit. The game's at Detroit. I like both quarterbacks in that game, golf and Baker Mayfield. um Again, I do think their stacking options are pretty clear.
00:11:32
Chilly
um Again, it's going to be a high-paced game. Tampa Bay's missing four out of five right now out of their secondary. um So i really do I really do like both quarterbacks in that game. I figure probably both quarterbacks are going to probably be low-owned. Again, we have to wait and see how ownership shakes out. but um And then I think one quarterback that becomes really intriguing is Patrick Mahomes.
00:12:04
Chilly
Depending on if everybody wants to play Isaiah Pacheco coming off of the game that New England just had against the same Cincinnati defense. Mahomes options are pretty much simple as well.
00:12:16
thedfsdeli
Wolf.
00:12:19
Chilly
It will get the tight end in the second because it had some opinions on that. But I do like those three this week. um I don't mind the Kyler Murray take. I think that's a different spin on that game. um I think it actually makes that game probably a little more affordable if you play Kyler, or you get a little more upside by Kyler than Stafford, but if you're going to play Stafford, I totally get it. I wouldn't argue against it. but And then obviously, you know with some of these guys, um you know you have all the Russian quarterbacks. You got Daniels. he got
00:12:58
Chilly
you got lamar you got richardson uh...
00:13:01
thedfsdeli
Daniel Jones.
00:13:04
Chilly
i'm not playing daniel jones this week is as bad as uh... as bad as washington secondary is daniel jones is pretty bad too so uh...
00:13:14
Chilly
it depends on daniel jones' ownership nah dude is a G man
00:13:19
thedfsdeli
Play him. Play him. Play him. The G man. Play him.
00:13:24
Baker
But that's not a Daniel Jones Jersey.
00:13:24
thedfsdeli
Play him. It is not, but I will order one when he wins me this million this week.
00:13:30
Chilly
That'd be amazing for you.
00:13:32
thedfsdeli
in those, in those, in that, but ugly uniform that they were last week too.
00:13:33
Chilly
Oh Those uniforms were terrible Sure ah And then one quarterback that I think is really intriguing I just don't know if he has the tournament winning upside it's Justin Herbert against the sorry Carolina JV team and
00:13:37
thedfsdeli
Okay.
00:13:39
thedfsdeli
The saint, these ain't Buffalo colors. These are New York giants colors, by the way.
00:13:45
thedfsdeli
Just kidding. They're a hundred percent for the bills.
00:14:00
Chilly
um
00:14:01
thedfsdeli
Justin Herbert is sorry.
00:14:04
Chilly
That's your opinion. I don't let bias come into play. i Yeah, you would have said the same thing about Derek Carr last week, but he threw for four touchdowns, not Dittney.
00:14:07
thedfsdeli
That guy spinks.
00:14:12
thedfsdeli
He didn't even go for 200 yards. I don't want to hear it. It was the most efficient game ever.
00:14:16
Chilly
it's It's still four touchdowns. If somebody says, hey, the quarterback you're starting this week is throwing for four touchdowns, you're taking it every time.
00:14:28
thedfsdeli
I would, I would rather take 402 than 196 and four.
00:14:32
Chilly
hey
00:14:32
thedfsdeli
Just saying one gets a bonus. The other one doesn't.
00:14:36
thedfsdeli
So not saying that I don't think we're going to see a 400 yard performance for, you know, not at the very beginning of the season. So I don't know, but still, yeah I get what you're saying.
00:14:36
Chilly
so
00:14:43
Chilly
So But I think her like I said, I don't know if Herbert gives you the upside because obviously you have to worry about Harbaugh in the running game, but That Carolina team is sauce, man
00:14:56
thedfsdeli
So bad. So bad. Um, yeah, man, like you mentioned, I like the, I like the quarterbacks we rushing for us. I mean, I think it would be remiss if we didn't bring up Lamar. I think a lot of people are going to be fiend into play Lamar, you know, with the 16 rushing attempts he had last game, but it was more competitive. I don't think his Vegas team is good. And especially being at home against Vegas, I think this is a game where they can establish the run through Derek Henry and justice Hill. It's just more so that I don't know if Lamar is going to be able to provide that upside, especially at that price being the highest price quarterback on the slate.
00:15:27
thedfsdeli
I think a lot of people are chomping at the bit to play Patrick Mahomes because it's on the main slate. I get it. But it's the same pushback with Vegas. I think Cincinnati is not. they're going to be good and they're not going to be that good. So, I think Patrick Mahomes can just back his way into a win in this game as well. So, I'm not really thinking about playing guys like that. Um you know, I more power to you if you choose to but like I like the guys with again, rushing for it. So, we're already stacking, you know, certain Rams that we'll get to here in a second. So, I really, really like the Kyler play and just go ahead and full
00:16:01
thedfsdeli
um Anthony Richardson goes to Green Bay, kind of like that as well. But again, like his stacking options, if there is one, I don't know if his assistant, Alec Pierce had the good game, next next time it could be pity, next time it could, anyone else, you know? So I don't know with Anthony Richardson, but again, that rushing four that he provides is going to give you points that other quarterbacks just can't give you. And I'm sorry, but Jayden Daniels is like, the he's going to be the rushing four.
00:16:30
thedfsdeli
And I think that he's a guy that you can run out naked, although I don't advocate the naked quarterback. I don't advocate a lot of naked guys, but yeah who am I to judge, right? It's 2024, whatever. um But Jaden Daniels is another guy that we saw his Russian capabilities last week, even in a blowout, when they were getting basically their asses kicked. But this Giants team kind of There ain't no kind of they suck. So, you know, I think that, um, and we'll get to running back here in a second. I think that his running back mate, uh, his backfield mate, I should say, because they're both bonafide running backs at this point. Cause his passing acumen did not look great, uh, last week. So him and Brian Robinson Jr. Can make a good tandem, uh, maybe a little skinny stack with Malik neighbors or Wanda Robinson, who strangely was one of the target leaders for the giants. But anyway, anyway, so again, guys rushing for us. I love, and.
00:17:22
thedfsdeli
I'm sorry, man. this this On the other side, the Washington team kind of sucks, man. I'm going back to the world, man, but I'm playing Dale Jones again. Screw you guys. He can't be this bad.
00:17:33
thedfsdeli
He can't be this bad.
00:17:35
Baker
Yes, Kim.
00:17:37
Chilly
Since he signed his big contract, he has more touchdowns to the other team than for the Giants.
00:17:38
thedfsdeli
Aw.
00:17:46
Baker
That's a terrible stat.
00:17:50
thedfsdeli
Baker.
00:17:52
Baker
Yes.
00:17:53
thedfsdeli
What do you want to bet? This thing is how I already lost my Daniel Jones bets last week. What do you want to bet? Who do you want? Who are against Daniel Jones this week? We want in
00:18:01
Baker
I'll take the same guy. I was going to take for some bet, but when we met in person, I'll take the exact same guy all over again. Give me Sam. darn
00:18:10
thedfsdeli
the wet maker.
00:18:11
Chilly
you will you guys give me a herbert?
00:18:15
thedfsdeli
Yes.
00:18:17
Chilly
alright I'll take herbert I'm actually probably not opposed to Derek Carr either i so I think that
00:18:17
thedfsdeli
Guy sucks.
00:18:22
thedfsdeli
All right.
00:18:27
thedfsdeli
I just don't see... ah I don't see 303 from Derek Carr, unless the game is going back and forth, which this matchup could definitely provide.
00:18:35
Chilly
no The weird thing is, is like dere carr like they have a new offensive coordinator, and that offense, I mean, again, albeit Carolina, um I think what it looked like there is going to be more realistic.
00:18:54
Chilly
Um, maybe, maybe we just all whiffed on the Saints. Maybe they won't be that bad of a team. I mean, we'll see. Um, because they're literally walking into the most sure thing of the Cowboys are playing at home.
00:19:05
Chilly
It's early in the season and they usually will do really well.
00:19:05
thedfsdeli
Yeah. Yeah.
00:19:13
Chilly
Um, I'm kind of with you. I'm kind of interested to see what DAX ownership kind of comes in by the end of the week. Cause. I mean, that's just an easy...
00:19:24
Chilly
If you if you play DAC CD and run it back with Olave and just load it up with chalk behind it, I think you're not sitting...
00:19:31
thedfsdeli
Where my cousin?
00:19:33
Chilly
I don't think you're sitting bad. I...
00:19:35
thedfsdeli
I mean, you can just bring it back with my cuz man and call it a day, you know, you can go back to a lot of it.
00:19:39
Chilly
Yeah, um'm me personally, I'm going back to Olave.
00:19:43
thedfsdeli
I'm just saying that Rashid, she definitely has proven that on three catches, he can win a tournament. So I like the Dakota side more only because I mean, this is the Cowboys team that averages average is averaged last season over 30 damn points a game.
00:19:50
Chilly
Yes.
00:19:59
thedfsdeli
So, and they didn't have to do anything against the Browns. So I mean, this this offense is is poised to break out.
00:20:06
thedfsdeli
I think it definitely could be a CD week, and it could be a Dakota week. I mean, I i don't mind running that out, especially like Baker said, without the snake, it condensed target tree. Just saying.
00:20:06
Chilly
again yeah yeah again I mean yeah I don't think I don't think Ferguson affects CD's targets I think CD is getting his regardless of Jake Ferguson is there or not I think it could but I think it
00:20:26
thedfsdeli
Did they still got in?
00:20:28
Baker
Oh, it it doesn't affect that. it But it could potentially boost brain and cooks a little bit.
00:20:32
thedfsdeli
Did they still got they still got hinder shot hinder shot?
00:20:32
Chilly
i think it could
00:20:33
Chilly
i think
00:20:36
thedfsdeli
Is that the backup tight end?
00:20:37
Chilly
Probably. I don't know.
00:20:40
Baker
Teddy Pendergrass.
00:20:40
Chilly
We'll see we' see when we get there.
00:20:41
thedfsdeli
Yeah, Teddy bender ass down.
00:20:43
Chilly
I think it ups CD-Lamps touchdowns.
00:20:48
thedfsdeli
This is fair. This is fair. All right. um Do we miss anybody Baker?
00:20:53
Baker
I don't think so.
