Sully Shaheed
Chili, what's up, man? How's things going?
00:02:44
Chilly
ah Not much. you know just get you know Didn't really play much in week one due to you know being out of town. So ah didn't really get hurt too much there. I was a couple Titans plays away from potentially winning some big money.
00:03:00
Chilly
know, sketch. um but matt So I can't really complain about week one.
00:03:02
Sully Shaheed
Yes.
00:03:05
Chilly
Didn't play too too much, but just getting ready to dive on into week two.
00:03:10
Sully Shaheed
That's right, baby. And of course, if you don't know what we do here on the DFS deli, we're going to go position by position, break it down. Our favorite plays on the 50,000 foot view of the Sunday main slate on both draft Kings and fan duel.
00:03:20
Chilly
Thank
00:03:24
Sully Shaheed
But first, as we always do, if you're new to the channel, if you're new to the podcast, we need you to do one thing, and that's raise the glass for our fallen in week one.
Week 1 Injuries and Critiques
00:03:40
Sully Shaheed
Brock Purdy, George Kittle,
00:03:44
Sully Shaheed
ah Xavier Worthy, various kickers who decided they don't know how to put the ball in between that little thing, the field goal thing.
00:03:56
Sully Shaheed
This is for y'all as well. Young Weiku, whoever the Browns kicker is, Schmidt, piece of shit, whoever he is, absolutely terrible. And of course, those that I've missed on the Fallen, we raise the glass for you and wish you a speed of recovery.
00:04:14
Baker
I mean, you you forgot the entire Miami Dolphins fucking offense.
00:04:19
Chilly
I mean, that team is done.
00:04:20
Baker
Yeah. Yeah.
00:04:23
Chilly
That team will be battling for the seller of the NFL, I would think.
00:04:28
Sully Shaheed
Ain't no battle. They don't have a fight within them. They're terrible.
00:04:32
Chilly
Yeah, I and think Mike McDaniel is ah in the running for first first coach fired.
00:04:32
Sully Shaheed
Who are they battling with?
00:04:42
Sully Shaheed
Oh, without question. That's easy money.
Unexpected Week 1 Performances
00:04:45
Sully Shaheed
That's easy money right there. So ah before we dive on into week two, man, again, I'm glad we didn't really podcast week one because you don't know shit. I don't know shit. We don't know shit collectively.
00:04:56
Sully Shaheed
um Some fun things that happen, you know, in the world of the NFL period. I think we found out who some teams actually are, you know, early in the season, but still um the saints are fun yet feisty.
00:05:08
Sully Shaheed
You know, congratulations to them. um Caleb Williams still really is bad at football. um It doesn't look like that's coming along very well. um The Bengals still struggle against the Browns.
00:05:21
Sully Shaheed
Don't know why. But Jamar Chase owners, lament, I'm sorry. Eagles, same thing. If you're an A.J. Brown owner or Devon Smith, I'm sorry.
00:05:29
Chilly
I mean, do do the Bengals do the bengal struggle?
00:05:30
Sully Shaheed
That's just the way it is.
00:05:33
Chilly
They only needed seven yards in the second half to beat the Browns. They only needed seven.
00:05:41
Sully Shaheed
They didn't need those seven. ah hey When they actually need the 70 yards. it's it's just's just It's just bad, man.
00:05:48
Chilly
Okay.
00:05:49
Sully Shaheed
But but Baker, ah what are some of your key takeaways from week one?
00:05:54
Baker
um
00:05:58
Baker
I mean, the biggest shock to me was just the fact that the Dolphins just laying down. I mean, I joked about it, but the fact that they just were abysmal. them Them and the Patriots, the Patriots were ah Vegas favorites in 11 of their games, and they came out and got spanked.
00:06:10
Sully Shaheed
The hype machine, the hype machine known as the Patriots.
00:06:18
Baker
Like, Geno Smith was looking like, you know, G-no. Not You shut your fucking mouth right now.
00:06:25
Sully Shaheed
He's looking like a prime Jeff Garcia out there.
00:06:26
Chilly
i mean I mean, I know i know we didn't we didn't have like a ah prediction show, but I would have told you that the Raiders are making the playoffs.
00:06:41
Chilly
Yeah, Matt, Broncos are finishing last in that division.
Broncos vs Raiders Predictions
00:06:44
Chilly
Book it.
00:06:44
Baker
Stop. Stop it.
00:06:45
Sully Shaheed
Ooh, Broncos last?
00:06:46
Chilly
Book it.
00:06:47
Baker
Stop it.
00:06:47
Chilly
um The Broncos are finishing last.
00:06:49
Baker
Absolutely not. Absolutely not.
00:06:53
Chilly
did today I'm sorry, did they look like world beaters against the fucking Titans?
00:06:57
Baker
They did not. that No part of them looked like world beaters. And stop me if you've heard this before. Evan Necom's heard already.
00:07:05
Chilly
Stop.
00:07:07
Sully Shaheed
Oh, my...
00:07:07
Baker
But
00:07:11
Chilly
um I mean, I could have saw the Dolphins thing coming. in um I mean, essentially, Tyree Kill is just Antonio Brown 2.0.
00:07:21
Sully Shaheed
without the hit to the head.
00:07:24
Chilly
I mean, essentially, right?
00:07:27
Chilly
i mean, just got accused of domestic violence by, what, his 18th baby mama.
00:07:28
Baker
I mean,
00:07:33
Chilly
um Already freaking out on the sideline. high candidate to get traded. um There's a former team of his who could use his services, I'm guessing. um
00:07:45
Sully Shaheed
You can book that right now. it Just book it.
00:07:48
Chilly
or Or he gets traded to the Steelers.
00:07:55
Chilly
That was the other one.
00:07:56
Sully Shaheed
Ew.
00:07:57
Baker
ah
00:07:57
Sully Shaheed
Ew.
00:07:57
Baker
I like the rumor the Steelers more.
00:08:01
Sully Shaheed
I don't like him in Kansas City at all. I hate it. I hate everything about that.
Tyreek Hill Trade Speculations
00:08:06
Chilly
But, I mean, let's face it.
00:08:06
Sully Shaheed
I don't want to hear that.
00:08:07
Chilly
Tiger Kill is probably getting traded.
00:08:12
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, i wish i wish we would have had the show so you could talk me off of playing Tyreek Hill last week because I had way too much.
00:08:17
Chilly
I wouldn't have. That's... I wouldn't i wouldn't have. That's the thing. But, like...
00:08:21
Sully Shaheed
Oh, okay. Okay.
00:08:22
Chilly
But...
00:08:22
Sully Shaheed
don't know.
00:08:23
Chilly
I did have a lineup with Dolphins. um But, like, that team literally has no, they have no backbone. They have no leader.
00:08:34
Chilly
You know, McDaniel just, he can't coach. Can't be a head coach. I'm sure the guy can coach offense. But, yeah, man, we couldn't even win in the Dome. Like, that's Miami's ideal thing, in the Dome.
00:08:50
Chilly
We couldn't even do that, so.
00:08:51
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, made made Daniel Jones look like prime Peyton Manning, for sure.
00:08:54
Chilly
We did. We did.
00:08:56
Sully Shaheed
So, like, is is Daniel Jones, like, legit? Or the Dolphins just bad?
00:09:00
Baker
Now, Dolphins are just bad.
00:09:02
Chilly
um the Dolphins are bad, but like we've seen this story before, right? like Is this a Sam Darnold 2.0?
00:09:11
Baker
No, no, it is not.
00:09:15
Sully Shaheed
Daniel Jones already got the bag. He's not fighting for the bag.
00:09:20
Chilly
No, I mean, he doesn't have the bag. He's got a bag.
00:09:24
Sully Shaheed
Oh, he's, well, he's about to get another one.
00:09:26
Chilly
Like Baker Mayfield is fighting for the bag. He's going to get it
Kyle Pitts and Rookie Expectations
00:09:32
Chilly
regardless of what he does. But yeah, but I think, yeah, I still think he's going to get a bigger contract, I would think, right?
00:09:32
Sully Shaheed
Bigger Mayfield just got extended. He signed a studio last year.
00:09:41
Sully Shaheed
Well, speaking of Baker Baker, the playmaker, he came through with ah our rookie of the week, Emeka Abuka, for the game we're decidedly game-winning touchdown. But, you know, their kicker decided to miss, and then Youngway Koo decided to miss to send it in overtime. And I don't know.
00:09:57
Sully Shaheed
Baker, how does it feel that Kyle Pitts has more receiving receiving yards and catches than Jamar Chase right now?
00:10:06
Sully Shaheed
Than A.J. Brown right now? Than Amon Ross St. Brown right now? Then insert top receiver here now. It's the year of Kyle Pitts, Baker. It's the year Kyle Pitts.
00:10:16
Chilly
Kyle Pitt, hashtag good.
00:10:17
Baker
it he said No, he's not. He's never been good. He's never going to be good. He's going to be bad forever.
00:10:26
Chilly
He had a good rookie season.
00:10:26
Baker
Fuck.
00:10:27
Chilly
Didn't he go over 1,000 yards his rookie year?
00:10:29
Baker
he He did.
00:10:31
Chilly
Okay. I just want to make sure like that's a good season, right?
00:10:34
Baker
No, it's not because Kyle Pitts fucking sucks.
00:10:34
Sully Shaheed
It was like five years ago.
00:10:35
Chilly
i i just I just want to make sure like if a tight end goes over 1,000, that's normally pretty good.
00:10:42
Baker
He's bad at the football.
00:10:43
Chilly
i will i won't you i want you i won't have you slander Kyle Pitts.
00:10:49
Baker
It's not slander if it's factual.
00:10:51
Chilly
It's slander, bro.
00:10:52
Baker
It's factual.
00:10:53
Chilly
it's It's slander, bro.
00:10:54
Baker
He's bad. He's bad.
00:10:56
Chilly
Dude, just watch Sunday night football in the dome. Kyle Pitts. Ready to tear it up.
00:11:05
Baker
And it sucks.
00:11:05
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, just makes me sad that the Falcons aren't on the main slate. It makes me sad.
00:11:08
Baker
and It sucks because I love to swag serve and like the fact that Kyle Pitts plays for them makes me not want to do it.
00:11:16
Chilly
If the Vikings were on the main slate, i would have played some J.J. McCarthy.
00:11:22
Sully Shaheed
Shout out to J.J. McCarthy. Looking like a complete bum in the first three quarters of that game. And then all of a sudden, he turns it into Josh Allen and wins the game.
00:11:32
Baker
Does that mean Caleb Williams turned into Lamar Jackson?
00:11:36
Chilly
No, no, no.
00:11:40
Sully Shaheed
Nah, the Ravens coached themselves out of that game. I mean, like, yeah, Derrick Henry fumbled, but at the same time, like, y'all played conservative as all hell, trying to sit on that lead, and you let Josh Allen do Josh Allen things, and you lost.
00:11:52
Sully Shaheed
So...
00:11:52
Chilly
I mean, they they had every chance to win the game. Derrick Henry couldn didn't fumble. ah And they all they had to do was get 10 yards. They couldn't do that.
00:12:00
Sully Shaheed
Yep. Nope.
00:12:01
Chilly
And they made the mistake of tackling Keon Coleman.
00:12:07
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, I'm sorry, Baker. Was that your boy? Baker, was Jair Alexander your boy at one point? Or did you, were you the hating on?
00:12:12
Baker
Studer's will.
00:12:13
Sully Shaheed
That was Studer's boy. Yeah, Jair Alexander is trash. He's hot trash. Like, he literally got targeted on every freaking throw from Josh Allen.
00:12:22
Chilly
Although, if we are being...
00:12:23
Sully Shaheed
Like, where's Jair Alexander at?
00:12:24
Chilly
If we're being real, if you're a Bills or Ravens fan, you don't feel good about that game either way, right?
00:12:31
Sully Shaheed
I feel great about it.
00:12:34
Chilly
i don't i wouldn't feel I wouldn't feel good if I was a fan of either team.
00:12:34
Sully Shaheed
Great.
00:12:38
Baker
I think you just throw that game away because ah because of who you're playing.
00:12:42
Chilly
I mean, I get it, but that both of those secondaries look slow.
00:12:48
Sully Shaheed
Oh, yeah.
00:12:49
Sully Shaheed
Yeah. And we're going to get into it. We're going get into it today because we might be talking about some players that will be targeting those secondaries this week. So are are we ready? Are we ready to talk about week two and what we can expect from week two of the NFL DFS season?
00:12:49
Chilly
And
00:13:05
Chilly
I think so.
00:13:08
Sully Shaheed
Well, I mean, we can always start at the quarterback position like we always do. um
00:13:12
Baker
Can we start with defense?
00:13:12
Sully Shaheed
Might as well.
00:13:13
Baker
Can we start with defense today? Just switch it up?
00:13:17
Sully Shaheed
I would like to retain like listeners throughout the show so I don't wanna talk about defense first, Baker.
00:13:28
Baker
Okay. Just figured we could change it up.
00:13:29
Sully Shaheed
Okay, maybe one week, maybe one week.
00:13:31
Baker
I mean, it's 2025. We could change things up. Sheesh. Okay.
00:13:37
Sully Shaheed
Fair point, however, the first show back of the year, let's just stick to the script and talk about QBs we like on the slate.
00:13:44
Baker
ah Okay.
00:13:44
Sully Shaheed
So we mentioned that someone's hashtag defense is bad or potentially bad in the Buffalo Bills.
Justin Fields Fantasy Value
00:13:52
Sully Shaheed
And they have to face the NYJETS Jets, Jets, Jets this week.
00:13:57
Sully Shaheed
So we saw what Justin Fields was able to do last week against the Steelers, who were supposed to have a good defense, period. But that didn't show up at all. So are we going back to Justin Fields?
00:14:11
Sully Shaheed
Or what are we doing here?
00:14:16
Sully Shaheed
Thoughts? Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
00:14:19
Baker
I mean, my biggest thing this in week one was the fact that I did not do my due diligence in the manner that I should have. um And just seeing the fact that Justin Fields is mispriced. He's still mispriced. For his ceiling, he is mispriced still at 5'7". So for that simple fact and that fact alone, he has to be in play.
00:14:38
Baker
I think Justin Fields comes down to an ownership thing for me. And not necessarily whether he's popular or not popular, but how can I make Justin Fields different if he is popular?
00:14:49
Baker
But for his ceiling, he's absolutely mispriced.
00:14:55
Sully Shaheed
I like that take. I mean, yeah, it's the same. I mean, these rushing quarterbacks, you know, when you got Chili, the rushing floor.
00:15:04
Chilly
I mean, honestly, what quarterbacks nowadays don't have the rushing floor? It's only a couple of them, right?
00:15:10
Baker
Matt Stafford, Jarrett Goff,
00:15:11
Sully Shaheed
Joe Burrow.
00:15:13
Chilly
That's three.
00:15:15
Sully Shaheed
Dakota Prescott.
00:15:17
Baker
Aaron Rodgers,
00:15:18
Chilly
i would say Dak has the sneaky rushing floor. I'll give you Rodgers.
00:15:24
Baker
rough Russell Wilson, Sam Darnold, Joe Flacco.
00:15:30
Chilly
Russell Wilson, comrade.
00:15:30
Sully Shaheed
Joe Flacco has no rushing for it.
00:15:31
Chilly
Joe Flacco has no rushing floor.
00:15:33
Sully Shaheed
There you go.
00:15:34
Chilly
Russell Wilson doesn't have a rushing floor because he's about to meet the bench.
00:15:34
Sully Shaheed
There you go.
00:15:40
Baker
I mean, they they don't need to bring in the rookie either. We know what time it needs to be for the Giants.
00:15:46
Chilly
it Yeah, Jackson Dart.
00:15:50
Baker
No. You need to eat it.
00:15:52
Sully Shaheed
time to eat some dubs.
00:15:53
Baker
I need to eat some fucking bebbies
00:15:53
Chilly
The only... The only reason why they would bring in Jameis Winston is to make Malik neighbors happy because you at least know he's going to get the football.
00:16:03
Baker
fucking W's. 5,473 times a game.
00:16:07
Sully Shaheed
Yes, without question.
00:16:09
Chilly
so From a fantasy standpoint, we want Jameis Winston. From a like logistical football standpoint, Jackson Dart is probably the move.
00:16:16
Baker
ah First of all, go fuck yourself. From a football sense, I want James Winston.
00:16:22
Sully Shaheed
Jeez. Well, let's talk about quarterbacks we can actually play this week. Like said, I gave you Justin Fields. I think this Buffalo defense is going to struggle all year.
00:16:33
Sully Shaheed
um I think Justin Fields is basically Lamar Jackson light. The only problem is, is that Derek Henry is not in that backfield, but to his credit, Reese Hall did look good on the carries that he got.
00:16:43
Sully Shaheed
So that run offense was legit last week for the jets. And I really think this could be a similar type of game. Not saying that, you know, the jets are the Ravens because they are not. However,
00:16:54
Sully Shaheed
if this Buffalo defense is going to continue to struggle because, i mean, like you said, their secondaries is ass. So i like I like Justin Fields a whole lot this week.
00:17:07
Sully Shaheed
So I digress. Chili, who else is on your quarterback radar this
00:17:13
Chilly
Yeah, I mean, if we're just taking a look, um I mean, I think like the big three quarterback, you know, this week, right now, we're projecting to have the highest ownership in Lamar, Allen, and Burrow.
Lamar Jackson vs Joe Burrow
00:17:26
Chilly
um I mean, Lamar does get the Browns at home. um look Lamar tends to own the Browns, like the Browns own Burrow.
00:17:38
Chilly
um I mean, and at least you know with Lamar, you know where the football is going. Usually. um Josh Allen's a little bit hard to pair with. um you know If you want to go into the Keon Coleman hype, Dalton Kincaid, it's a little harder to sell. Or you can play him naked. I'm not you know i'm not opposed to that.
00:17:58
Chilly
um i mean Out of the three, though, I would probably go back to Burrow. ah Going up against Jacksonville. um Jacksonville probably played one of the worst teams in the NFL or definitely one of the bottom three in the Panthers.
00:18:13
Chilly
um Bryce Young reminded us all of who he was ah because he was awful. um So there's that. ah One quarterback that's kind of coming with low ownership, and I don't understand why, Dak Prescott?
00:18:30
Chilly
Anybody? Anybody?
00:18:32
Sully Shaheed
That's the ah that's the that's the star star play of the week right now.
00:18:32
Baker
Load it
00:18:37
Sully Shaheed
Literally and figuratively because he plays for the Cowboys.
00:18:37
Chilly
Anybody? Anybody? Anybody? Dak Prescott? ah The giants didn't look Giants didn't look particularly well.
00:18:41
Baker
loaded
00:18:45
Chilly
Dallas' is offensive line, although Jalen Carter decided to spit on Dak and get thrown out of the game, looked pretty good. Dallas has, you know, the mini-bye. um CeeDee Lamb could catch the football, you could argue that they could have won that game.
00:18:58
Chilly
um i don't know about Justin Fields. Fields feels like the ultimate letdown spot here. I don't know. they wait and understand it. He's way undervalued.
00:19:12
Chilly
Realistically, he can get it done with the Russian floor. um imnna I'm going to spie out a gross take here. um Although they will be on the road going from the West Coast to the East Coast, Mac Jones at the Memphis.
00:19:31
Sully Shaheed
Oh, Lord, Baker, handle that. I don't want to talk about Mac Jones right now.
00:19:33
Baker
No.
00:19:34
Chilly
hey Hey, do you know what Jaguars quarterback last year unlocked Brian Thomas? Because it wasn't Trevor Lawrence.
00:19:44
Baker
No.
00:19:45
Sully Shaheed
So you're saying that there's the potential for someone to be unlocked on this ah offense behind the return of the Mac Jones.
00:19:51
Chilly
but
00:19:54
Chilly
Yeah, Ricky Pearsall.
00:19:58
Sully Shaheed
Baker, how do you feel about this 49ers offense as a whole without Brock Purdy?
49ers Strategy Post-Purdy Injury
00:20:05
Baker
So I was so sad when the Brock Purdy news kind of came out yesterday and today because I was so ready to fire up all the CMC and all the Ricky Pierce, all that my that my little heart could handle.
00:20:19
Chilly
you You still can. They're playing the Saints, bro.
00:20:20
Baker
i And Mack Jones is the quarterback.
00:20:24
Chilly
they They're playing the Saints. Do you know who plays quarterback for the Saints? Okay, because they went into Seattle. And although Seattle should have picked off the pass, Seattle's defense is way better than New Orleans.
00:20:38
Baker
I mean, you're right. And I possibly would have been loading up Brock Purdy, too, if he was healthy.
00:20:44
Chilly
So question, if Mac Jones would have got drafted originally by the 49ers, would he not be Brock Purdy?
00:20:53
Baker
No, he would not.
00:20:55
Chilly
Are you sure? Because he was a pro bowler for Bill Belichick. And that immute offense. If you give Mac Jones, George Kittle, a prime CMC, Brandon Ayuk, and all of them,
00:21:09
Sully Shaheed
Well, Chili, you know what he doesn't have on Sunday? George Kittle, a prime CMC, and Brandon Ayuk.
00:21:16
Chilly
But again,
00:21:16
Sully Shaheed
They're all gone, and CMC is old. So he doesn't have that.
00:21:20
Chilly
CMC, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, CMC had, what, 22 carries and how many receptions?
00:21:20
Sully Shaheed
So we're talking about Sunday.
00:21:27
Baker
Nine. He had nine of them.
00:21:28
Sully Shaheed
nine Yeah, I'd say nine or ten, yeah.
00:21:30
Chilly
Yeah. Hey, Mac Jones is going to force it into Ricky Pearsall and he's going to check it down to CMC.
00:21:31
Baker
hey And don't you dare.
00:21:38
Chilly
it
00:21:39
Baker
And Sully, don't you dare to besmirch the great name, which is Christian McCaffrey. Christian McCaffrey is still prime Christian McCaffrey. God damn you.
00:21:45
Chilly
oh he Well, he's not prime because his speed is very low. But um if you're going to tell me he's going to get 15 carries and five to eight receptions, sign me up.
00:22:00
Chilly
And again, they're playing the Saints.
00:22:01
Sully Shaheed
I respect it. I respect
Mahomes vs Hurts Fantasy Showdown
00:22:04
Sully Shaheed
it. um ah Can we talk real quick about probably what's going be the most popular game on the slate with the Hurt Business traveling to Kansas City?
00:22:12
Sully Shaheed
ah What do we think of either Patrick Mahomes or Jalen Hurtz in this spot?
00:22:16
Baker
Pass on Pat. I can get behind playing Jalen Hurts, but probably pass on both, honestly.
00:22:24
Chilly
I would be interested in Hertz.
00:22:24
Sully Shaheed
Okay.
00:22:27
Chilly
I really don't want to play chalky-ass Hollywood Brown.
00:22:33
Sully Shaheed
Oh, yeah. He's going to be chalky.
00:22:35
Chilly
Oh, he's...
00:22:36
Sully Shaheed
We'll get there when we get there, but he's going to
00:22:37
Chilly
I mean, i have him right now as the chalk.
00:22:43
Sully Shaheed
be chalky. Hey, can I give you my gross take of the week if Justin Fields wasn't gross enough, even though I think it's still a solid play, but can I give you the gross take of the week?
00:22:51
Chilly
I... Can you beat Mac Jones?
00:22:55
Sully Shaheed
Yeah. Yeah. I think I can.
00:22:58
Baker
I'm scared for what you're about to say. I'm literally terrified.
00:23:01
Chilly
I mean, there's a there's a game that we haven't mentioned, so I'm interested to see if the quarterback is coming from this one.
00:23:01
Sully Shaheed
Can I interest you?
00:23:07
Sully Shaheed
Actually, no, I got two takes. I got two takes, and they're both revenge games.
00:23:15
Sully Shaheed
Can I interest you slightly in Joe Flacco in the revenge game against the Ravens defense that got absolutely scorched by the MVP of Josh Allen?
00:23:28
Sully Shaheed
or
00:23:28
Baker
I don't hate it.
00:23:29
Sully Shaheed
Or can I interest you in Caleb Williams in the Ben Johnson revenge game?
00:23:37
Chilly
You can interest me.
00:23:38
Sully Shaheed
against Detroit against Detroit that looked absolutely terrible last week against Jordan Love
00:23:39
Chilly
You can
00:23:44
Chilly
you can interest me in Caleb because I played Caleb Williams in that exact same game last year and won big money. So, yeah, you can because of the Detroit guys. But, yeah, you can you can convince me to play Caleb.
00:23:57
Sully Shaheed
okay good good great great great great great great great great great Baker what say you
00:24:00
Chilly
I mean,
00:24:03
Baker
I mean, i don't hate the Joe Flacco call. I don't hate the Caleb Williams call. My initial look at the at the slate, Caleb Williams stood out to me as a has a really good play.
00:24:15
Baker
So I definitely don't hate the Caleb play.
00:24:19
Sully Shaheed
Excellent. Chili, what was your finishing a point?
00:24:21
Baker
But you're...
00:24:21
Chilly
yeah um it's I don't know, man. It's kind of weird when you have, like, how do you take a look at really good teams who lose?
00:24:34
Chilly
So, like, the prime examples would be, like, Kansas City and Detroit. You figure they're going to come out and play better.
00:24:44
Chilly
Both of these teams are Super Bowl contenders, although I think Cincinnati, not Cincinnati, Detroit is the prime candidate for the really good team from the year before to be middle of the road.
00:24:56
Chilly
Because it looked awful.
00:25:01
Chilly
But
00:25:01
Sully Shaheed
I'm with it. I'm here for it. um Any other QB takes before you go over running back?
00:25:06
Baker
I feel like we've like we've we've ragged on the Dolphins 5,273 times your number two quarterback from last week happened to play the Dolphins we talked about the fact that the Patriots were the overhype machine but somehow nobody is talking about Drake May
00:25:11
Sully Shaheed
Yes.
00:25:21
Chilly
Because you know how bad Drake May looked last week?
00:25:25
Baker
he He did not look worse than the Dolphins.
00:25:28
Chilly
ah
00:25:28
Sully Shaheed
Baker, who is he throwing to? Pop Douglas? We're stacking him with Papa? Papa Douglas?
00:25:34
Chilly
He's throwing the booty. Booty and digs.
00:25:36
Sully Shaheed
Hunter Henry?
00:25:38
Baker
um um I mean, Kayshawn Booty, come on, man. Yo boy, Steph Diggs, come on, bro.
00:25:43
Sully Shaheed
He's not my boy anymore. He shut your mouth.
00:25:47
Chilly
I mean, Drake May just looked...
00:25:48
Sully Shaheed
Well, yeah, I mean, you can interest me in Jake May, but if i had to if I had one lineup, I would pick Caleb Williams over there.
00:25:54
Chilly
I'd rather pay down for Mac Jones.
00:25:54
Sully Shaheed
ah
00:25:57
Baker
the um the biggesties problem with playing drake may The biggest problem with playing Drake May is like obviously his stacking pieces.
00:25:58
Chilly
but so
00:25:59
Sully Shaheed
Rest for it.
00:26:05
Baker
That's what makes it a little bit more difficult to play him. But as far as in a nutshell, from just going off of week one, he has the best matchup of the week. And he has the rushing floor.
00:26:17
Sully Shaheed
ru
00:26:17
Chilly
Baker, on the same side of the coin, are you willing to play Tua? Because the Patriots made Geno Smith... look like Geno Smith.
00:26:26
Sully Shaheed
Geno Smith. i mean, he's a good damn quarterback, asshole. Just admit it He's just a good quarterback.
00:26:32
Chilly
I like Geno Smith because I like the Raiders. Remember, I have them in the playoffs.
00:26:36
Sully Shaheed
You do. You do.
00:26:38
Chilly
I mean, like, and Miami's at home, I believe.
00:26:41
Baker
Miami is at home, and that's the only thing that kind of would make the Miami side intriguing is typically Miami plays better at home.
00:26:50
Chilly
And let's be real. Nobody is playing Dolphins.
00:26:54
Baker
No, not even a little bit.
00:26:54
Chilly
Except A-chan. People are going to play A-chan, but.
00:27:00
Sully Shaheed
I mean, that's the perfect segue into running backs because Devon HN does have a solid matchup against New England Patriots this week. um He is a cool 69, nice, 100 on draft things.
00:27:11
Baker
Take it easy.
00:27:13
Sully Shaheed
um But I mean, what everybody's going to do is jam in CMC, right? Like 7,500 CMC against New Orleans.
00:27:20
Chilly
Correct. he is the he He is chalk number one. A-chan is chalk number two as of Wednesdays.
00:27:27
Sully Shaheed
There you go. There you go. But let's talk about some other matchups that could be
Key Running Back Matchups for Week 2
00:27:31
Sully Shaheed
key. um I really like Chase Brown at 6,800 going against Jacksonville in that not-so-stout run defense.
00:27:39
Sully Shaheed
um Maybe a little bounce-back spot for Jameer Gibbs. He has a deduction in his price of 7,400. ah We obviously saw his reception for last week, even though they literally went for, like, zero yards.
00:27:51
Sully Shaheed
But still, um and I mean, some of the other big guys, I mean, you could, if you want to load up Saquon at 8K against Kansas City, you can. I mean, he's Saquon Barkley, for Christ's sakes.
00:28:02
Sully Shaheed
And of course, you can always play our king going against the Cleveland Browns, as you saw what he was able to do against the Buffalo Bills last week. So kind of leaning at there on the high end, we can get into some cheapies later.
00:28:17
Sully Shaheed
But Baker, I'll start with you. How you feeling about the running back position?
00:28:22
Baker
I mean, for one, taking it back to week one again, um i thought I was a big brain in playing a bunch of CMC this past week, thinking that people would be scared off because the injury.
00:28:32
Baker
Apparently not as many.
00:28:33
Sully Shaheed
Baker, can i ask you a question real quick?
00:28:33
Chilly
Thank you.
00:28:35
Sully Shaheed
Why are we talking to your hat?
00:28:35
Baker
Yeah. Because I don't feel like looking up. Okay.
00:28:39
Sully Shaheed
Why do...
00:28:39
Baker
i hope I don't. I don't.
