Introduction to DFS Deli Podcast

Sully Shaheed
It is overtime here at the DFS deli because we need to bring in one of my coworkers to discuss this week 10 slate because it is a complicated one to say the least 10 gamer, 11. If you're on fan dual, we got some good chalk to break down some bad chalk to break down. And of course this being a Saturday night, the secret menu, the first one of the season, this is not for the faint at heart. So if you're a chalk donkey or a cash game player, this is not the pod for you.
Setting the Scene for Week 10 Slate Analysis
00:00:32
Sully Shaheed
But if you're here to take down tournaments and go off the cup, do the Kansas city shuffle with Baker and I tonight you're in the right place. So turn on the open signs and welcome in the DFS deli. Let's do it.
Meet the Hosts: Salih Alishahid and Christian Baker
00:00:59
Sully Shaheed
a And welcome in to the DFS deli. I, of course, am the proprietor tour of this deli contestant, Salih Alishahid. And it is a Saturday night, cool, 55 degrees in Cleveland, Ohio, as we open up the DFS deli for the week 10 slate. The final view, thee landing the landing strip is down into the slate.
00:01:21
Sully Shaheed
injury news most of the visit is in and we need to break down what we're going to be doing in our tournament lineups. So join tonight working a little OT for your boy. For me, Sully Alicia Heat is Christian Baker, Baker. What's up, man? Welcome on in into work. How are you?
00:01:39
Baker
I am fantastic. Uh, enjoying myself a little vivacious by the Great Lakes Brewery up there by you, not by me, because I don't live up there no more.
00:01:46
Sully Shaheed
Yep.
00:01:48
Baker
And, uh, yeah, I'm currently looking at futons while we're talking fantasy football. I know it's they they don't coincide with each other, but as you can see, big empty space behind me.
00:01:52
Sully Shaheed
Hmm.
00:01:56
Baker
We got to put something back there. So, uh, it's currently what I'm physically actually looking at. And, uh, yeah, I drove two hours back down to Columbus today because I was up in Cleveland taking care of some business with my house up there.
Transition to Week 10 Fantasy Slate Discussion
00:02:09
Baker
And I guess I'll say it for chill because it feels weird. I'm ready to dive on in.
00:02:15
Sully Shaheed
Ah, thanks for saying it because if it wasn't going to be you it would be me because we got to dive on in through this slate, man.
00:02:19
Baker
It just it it it doesn't it doesn't feel right coming out of my mouth. It feels right. caught and I'm saying coming into my mouth doesn't feel right coming out.
00:02:27
Sully Shaheed
It's tough, man. It's tough. You know, we we're kind of working a shorthand it, but you know, we've done duos before, you know, just like hopping in war zones that are hitting the trio. We got to do the duo. So were we'll go ahead and rack up these kills tonight and see if we can't take down some sleep.
00:02:39
Baker
I mean what what you know about what you know about playing some fucking war zone, bro. You ain't played it since the pandemic
00:02:44
Sully Shaheed
You damn right. I played it since the pandemic, but you know what? I have, I have youtube dot.com and I enjoy watching streamers play call of duty sometimes. So it is fun. it's it's ah It's a fun pastime of mine because players that are certainly way better than me, that make money doing the things that they do, I would rather watch them perform.
00:03:05
Sully Shaheed
Just like us watching football or golf or basketball. Hey, speaking of basketball. Hey, 10 and no Cavs. What's up, man? How about that? Watch the Golden State game last night. That was pretty entertaining.
00:03:17
Baker
went to the Golden State game last night.
00:03:19
Sully Shaheed
Went to the Golden State game. Look at you. Very nice. Very nice.
00:03:23
Baker
Yeah, a connect of mine from back when I worked at Morton's in downtown Cleveland. Her husband works for the Cavs. So she always has tickets.
00:03:29
Sully Shaheed
Nice.
00:03:30
Baker
So as I'm driving up, I shot her a text like, hey, you wouldn't happen to randomly be able to get tickets, but it's a nice game. She's like, you want to be my plus one? I'm like, let's ride.
00:03:39
Sully Shaheed
That's right. And I was a beat down. That's nice to see a Cleveland team doing something, ahh unlike the other Cleveland team, which will not be mentioned because they're on a buy. So that's a beautiful thing.
00:03:48
Baker
The Indians? The Indians? They don't know why this week?
00:03:50
Sully Shaheed
They don't exist anymore. So there's that.
00:03:52
Baker
I don't call them by that other name. I refuse.
00:03:54
Sully Shaheed
um And you don't support a baseball team here in Cleveland. So but that's neither here nor there. Uh, so it of course what we do here on the DFS deli is break down position by position. Our favorite place, if you haven't tuned into the Wednesday show, by all means watch that one first, where our initial first takes of the slate, but now we're into the nitty gritty Baker. We're into narrowing down those player pools, seeing where we can pivot, zig where others zag doing the things that'll get us to
Challenges of Week 10 Fantasy Slate
00:04:19
Sully Shaheed
the top of the tournament leaderboards. And as I texted you guys and many others that participate in daily fantasy sports, this slate.
00:04:27
Sully Shaheed
Sucks, because A, it's 10 games. So ownership is gonna be condensed. 11, of course, if you're on FanDuel. And there's no value. like Last week we had you know Chase Brown in a nice spot, which was a smash play you know at at cheap value. There were some cheap receivers we could plug in. But the cheap receivers that are available that are gonna be chalky this week, I don't wanna play none of them.
00:04:49
Sully Shaheed
so ah hey I don't understand the slate in general, especially when it comes to ownership percentages. So we'll go ahead and break down a few of those for the the viewers and the listeners and hopefully talk amongst ourselves to actually get some some clarity of the slate because um'm I'm very it's cloudy. It's cloudy here in Cleveland. and I don't like that feeling makers. So we'll help you you will help me will help them the viewer the listener but of course in order to help us ah you need to do is hit the like button and that's it just that little it's it's a like but it's got a little it's got the little thumbs up over there i want you why don't you do that right now i'll wait it is not the in it it is not a tip jar it is not i might have to fire you uh beggars been collecting tips from uh from our listeners and subscribers and i don't like that so
00:05:22
Baker
The tip jar is the tip jar, sir.
00:05:30
Baker
It's the tip jar here in the DFS deli for us making such delicious sandwiches and whatnot. I'm going to do that for the rest of the season and let you know that right now.
00:05:49
Baker
I'm just saying there's a chance that I might give you my priest of the week.
00:05:57
Sully Shaheed
Yo, is that is that like a segue or ah foreshadowing? Foreshadowing. that's that's That's what they call that in the business.
00:06:03
Baker
Yes, yes, yes.
00:06:06
Sully Shaheed
So listen, ah we'll start at the quarterback position because that's where you know most builds start. And you may see something different from Draft Kings. I don't know if you have ownership numbers pulled up in front of you. Obviously, I'll break down some fan dual numbers for um people. I can switch back and forth if need be. But I'll start over here on fan dual where the chalk seems to be lying with Rock Party. Rock Party, of course, in a decent matchup with Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay has been decimated by the past over, let's say the past four or five games, um, ownership, condensing on guys like Jayden Daniels and Rogers, even a little patch of my homes who came out, came out slinging a little bit last week. So, but again, that, again, against that same, same Tampa Bay secondary. Um, and that game was competitive. I mean, it came down to overtime for a patch of my homes to get there. So I don't know about the spot against Denver. It's just like,
00:07:01
Sully Shaheed
We have highly projected yeah quarterbacks that nobody is playing and maybe you can explain why. So again, those are fan door numbers. I don't know how you feel about draft Kings. But basically, who do you have in your player pool that the field may not be considering tomorrow and give me your reasoning behind it.
00:07:21
Baker
So first I'll start with the top three on DK. We're looking at Brock Birdie over here as well. Justin Herbert for the People War Fancy and Sam Donald. Those are the top three quarterbacks over here.
00:07:34
Baker
Um, for myself, I said it on Wednesday and it hasn't changed. I still feel like Baker Mayfield's in a great spot on the other side of this Brock party crap.
00:07:47
Baker
Just cause of the script that he should be in. And let's be honest, uh, Tampa hasn't been successful at running the ball pretty much all year anyway. So I don't see why that would change in this game.
00:07:57
Sully Shaheed
Mm.
00:07:58
Baker
So if it's going to be competitive and pulls like this coming off the right arm of Baker Mayfield still.
00:08:05
Baker
All the great plays at the top, the Jayden Daniels, the Josh Allens, and the Jalen Hurts. It's almost impossible to build a competent lineup.
00:08:15
Baker
You can build a lineup. It's very difficult to build a competent lineup with them on DraftKings.
Quarterback Strategies for Week 10
00:08:21
Baker
Just because their prices are just so restrictive and pricing being, you know, just as tight as something that's really tight.
00:08:29
Baker
I was going to say something sexual decided not to.
00:08:31
Sully Shaheed
A keyhole.
00:08:33
Baker
That's really tight.
00:08:36
Sully Shaheed
I knew what you wanted to say, but I just, the a keyhole.
00:08:36
Baker
which
00:08:39
Baker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Keyhole. Like as I'm going through my mind, I'm like, Oh, I think it's something that's not sexual. Fuck. I can't.
00:08:49
Sully Shaheed
That's all right. We're not here to be PG here on the DFS deli. So that's all right. It's all right.
00:08:55
Baker
I mean, if this was a PG show, I would have been fired a very long time ago.
00:08:59
Sully Shaheed
Yes, probably on the first episode.
00:09:02
Baker
Possibly more than likely.
00:09:03
Sully Shaheed
Possibly.
00:09:06
Baker
But yeah, Baker may Baker may feel as my number one
00:09:06
Sully Shaheed
but's a
00:09:09
Baker
with a bullet, honestly, still, say as we're saying, about to land.
00:09:11
Sully Shaheed
um
00:09:15
Sully Shaheed
Okay. I can see the justification behind Baker Mayfield, but who are you going to, who's going to be your stacking partners? Because if you go to the tight end position, K dot is probably one of the most chalkiest ones on the slate. Mine is George Kittle over there on draft Kings. But it's like, do you trust these vagabonds basically to get any type of production? I mean, like, is it going to be a Baker Mayfield with a single stack? Is it going to be eat the K dot and chalk and get off it because you're playing Baker Mayfield or are you going to, are you going to tag one of these ah lower price receivers along with them?
00:09:46
Baker
I mean, I can t i can eat the K.Jug just because of the fact that Baker's not owned going along with him, so it's just gonna reduce my ownership. And then my off the wall, what the fuck are you thinking? Who the hell is he? I didn't know he existed before you said his name played. Raheem Jarrett? Rakim Jarrett? Just saying.
00:10:13
Sully Shaheed
What was that?
00:10:15
Baker
Once again, He plays for Tampa, just letting you know. And I think that play is going to be largely influenced for me. If Jayla McMillan is out again, cause in Monday's game, in Monday's game, I think he was second on the team.
00:10:27
Sully Shaheed
Gotcha.
00:10:31
Baker
If I remember correctly, it's actual snaps. Mind you, he only earned one target. So it's not like he was heavily involved, but you he was also facing a team in, uh, Kansas city. where you know they're playing a tight tight coverage where you're going to earn your fucking targets versus them.
00:10:49
Baker
In San Francisco, they're not going to play up in your face. They're going to make you earn everything up underneath and make you drive the field on them. But they're not in your face. So there's chances for KDOT and A receiver, and I'm hoping it's Jared, potentially.
00:11:05
Baker
to work this underneath and maybe break a big play type of thing, even though he is more of a vertical down the field.
00:11:14
Sully Shaheed
I can respect that and I mean you can save some salary along the way so I can get behind those kind of plays. It's just for me. So I'm, I'm not as keen to the Baker Mayfield stuff. I mean, I've played them a ton over the course of the season, but that was because he had Mike Evans every week, bro. And of course the God, you know, but now it's like, I, I don't, I don't see the, I don't see the ceiling, right? Because like we all thought that Baker Mayfield had a pretty decent performance on Monday. The man had 18 and a half draft Kings points. That's it. So it's like, do I see a path to 303?
00:11:49
Sully Shaheed
maybe but then that's that really means he's bringing someone else along with him so I I'm fine with that if you can see the ceiling of it um what I want to kind of discuss is what I was talking through text with you guys is if there's players on the slate that have the ability to actually fracture the slate it's got to be the guys at the top that a have the rushing for
00:11:54
Baker
Absolutely.
00:12:11
Sully Shaheed
and be can literally put the team on their back with rushing and passing touchdowns. So like, Josh Allen and Jalen hurts are under 5% over here on fan door right
Evaluating Top Quarterback Picks
00:12:21
Sully Shaheed
now. And that just makes me want to jam them in. And yes, I agree with the sentiment that yeah It's hard to make a lineup you're comfortable about, but at the same time, if you're making a tournament lineup, you want to be uncomfortable anyway. So that's one. And two, if no one's playing them, like there's no quarterback, maybe sans Jaden Daniels that has the ability to put up 30 plus period. It's Jalen hurts and Josh Allen. Who else is putting up 30 plus on this slate?
00:12:54
Baker
Russell Wilson?
00:12:56
Sully Shaheed
Who else is putting up 30 on this slate?
00:12:58
Baker
Will Leves?
00:13:00
Sully Shaheed
Who else you shut your mouth? All right. So it's my point. My point exactly. So yes, I understand that we are dry of value on this slate. But at the same time, if we're plugging in guys that can get us 10 to 15 points at max at lower salary, and you can jam in a slate breaker like Josh Allen or your Jalen hurts, it's like, why not take the risk on doing that? So if you want to soak up all the touchdowns, probably how I'm going to build is probably through James Cook and Josh Allen.
00:13:28
Sully Shaheed
than Saquon and Jalen Hurts. And yes, putting Hurts and Saquon in the same lineup is a lot of salary. But at the same time, the upside to that could get you in the market of 60 points, and you're fine. I mean, we've seen Saquon just recently last week on the receiving end of things. We've seen James Cook on the receiving end of things before. So obviously, you know last week was Ray Davis getting that long touchdown pass from Josh Allen. But even if you want stacking partners with Josh Allen,
00:13:58
Sully Shaheed
It's cheap. So if you avoid the Killio secure chalk, which he's going to be very expensive. Swole Hollins cost you nothing. Um, we may.
00:14:07
Baker
um It's the holiday season suddenly it's we're going into the holiday season You will be sad cuz you gonna be sad cuz it's gonna be an Amari Thanksgiving And under 6k over here
00:14:09
Sully Shaheed
Yeah. It's about to be Hollins day season if he connects tomorrow because I'm playing some Swole. I'm playing some Swole. But at the same time on the other side, if
00:14:21
Sully Shaheed
if the wrist, if the wrist holds up. So if Amari's in, and we're talking about Amari Cooper at less than 2% ownership, maybe three or four, it's like, yeah, so why not jam a guy in like that with your Josh Allen sacks, and then kind of ah move on.
00:14:38
Sully Shaheed
Like if you want to play chalk around that, you can, because that combination of players is going to be less than 15% owned, like,
00:14:47
Baker
Oh, he easy.
00:14:48
Sully Shaheed
Hey, come on.
00:14:50
Baker
Easy.
00:14:50
Sully Shaheed
So again, Josh Allen has sheepstacking partners. Jalen Hurts does not. So that's why I don't recommend going to Saquon, AJ Brown and Slim Reaper because that's your entire salary.
00:15:02
Sully Shaheed
so
00:15:03
Baker
Yeah, you're 3K capping the rest of your lineup at that point. inside
00:15:06
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So on the bills end, I would recommend it, but it's like, again, I don't understand the field because these are two of the teams with the highest team totals on the damn slate and no one wants to play these guys. Am I, am I tripping?
00:15:20
Baker
You normally are tripping, but in this situation, you're not.
00:15:24
Sully Shaheed
So, you know, and I feel like, so those two guys are kind of going to be marquee plays for me. I kind of got off Kirk cousins a little bit only because I don't think this game's going to be competitive.
00:15:36
Sully Shaheed
New Orleans.
00:15:36
Baker
i kind of I kind of agree.
00:15:36
Sully Shaheed
thanks
00:15:39
Baker
The only way I think it's competitive, and if I do build a Kirk Cousins theme, my only saint is Alvin Kamara.
00:15:46
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, but that's where the ownership is going to be, right? So you got chalky pieces like Alvin Kamara, Taysom Hill, Bijon Robinson.
00:15:48
Baker
yeah
00:15:54
Sully Shaheed
Drake London is is looks like he's going to be playing. He's not going to be like super chalk or anything like that, but he's going to garner some ownership. um On FanDuel, Darnell Mooney's damn near unplayable. He's like 7,300.
00:16:05
Sully Shaheed
So you could forget that. ah You could throw that out the window. So again, I want to see if I'm going to play this game. I want to see the game script and I will probably play it in large field, which I mentioned slightly on Wednesday, but I'm probably going to pull the trigger is that we see a game where nobody gets there.
00:16:23
Sully Shaheed
Atlanta runs away with this game and you know what happens in the game script when Atlanta runs away. Tyler. I was here.
00:16:29
Baker
Last year Tyler fucking else here I Mean you could now here's I mean the other pivot is to go Derek Carr and flip a coin over a pass catcher.
00:16:31
Sully Shaheed
So if you want to really get away from the chalk, Tyler, I was here in the Falcons defense. You've literally just pivoted off everything chalk wise in that game.
00:16:48
Sully Shaheed
He doesn't have anybody. There's Noah Lave, he's on IR. Rashish, he's on IR. Cedric Wilson is out. What means is out. So it's like, who, who, who is playing receiver for the New Orleans Saints?
00:16:57
Baker
I
00:17:02
Baker
Mason Tipton, Mason Tipton, and MVS.
00:17:02
Sully Shaheed
Who?
00:17:08
Baker
You asked, Sue. You asked. You asked the question. I answered it, okay?
00:17:16
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, I get it. But um you know what that warrants, Baker?
00:17:22
Baker
a
00:17:29
Sully Shaheed
I ain't playin' Nansaint. I get it, Alvin Kamara 35 touches last game. The volume and the floor are there for Alvin Kamara, 100%. But in this environment where they know they can't pass a lick because they don't have anybody to throw to and Derek Carr is ass.
00:17:49
Sully Shaheed
I just think that this game is going to get away from the Falcons in a sense that they're going to be in such cruise control where I don't see the ceiling.
00:17:49
Baker
Now.
00:17:59
Sully Shaheed
Like I want to see the Bijon Robinson ceiling, but you got to pay for it. I want to see another cow pit spike game. yeah he's like He's relatively inexpensive. So like if you want to go there, go there.
00:18:10
Sully Shaheed
Kurt cousins is inexpensive as well. But again, I want to get guys in there that have access to their ceiling tomorrow and I just don't see Kurt cousins being that guy. Like I want to see it but I just New Orleans stinks man. Stink.
00:18:26
Baker
Now, I will ask you this, Mason Well, consider the fact you didn't know he existed.
00:18:31
Sully Shaheed
Bro. I have no idea. Yes, facts.
00:18:39
Baker
ah Yale, he's a smart guy.
00:18:41
Sully Shaheed
Ah, ah.
00:18:43
Baker
He's he's a Taj Mahry.
00:18:45
Sully Shaheed
Only only smart guy I trust in football is the certain Stanford tree that plays in San Francisco.
00:18:50
Baker
Yeah.
00:18:52
Sully Shaheed
So if he ain't there, I don't worry. I ain't worried about him.
00:18:56
Baker
Is that what we call in the business, a segue?
00:18:59
Sully Shaheed
No, no, no, no, no, no, because we got our, there's a couple
00:19:00
Baker
Okay, I thought that turned out, I thought I'm trying to prep it.
00:19:04
Sully Shaheed
i I should have, but there's a couple of guys that I do want to mention at the bottom of the pricing list.
00:19:10
Baker
Oh God, here we here here we go.
00:19:10
Sully Shaheed
If you want to fit in some of these, listen, man, if you're going to, if you're going to poo poo my Mac Jones play, all right, you're going to poo poo Mac Jones.
00:19:14
Baker
Here we go. ah
00:19:20
Sully Shaheed
All right. I'll kick you off this show right now. Okay. So we're, listen, Mac Jones, again, he's starting in place of Trevor Lawrence who's hurt. He has limited options to throw to, so you know where the ball is going. No one's going to play Evan Ingram. No one's going to play b Brian Thomas Jr. Returning Gabe Davis, maybe. Parker Washington, if Gabe Davis comes back, moves back into the slot. so And you already know they're going to be trailing 90% of this game. So we want to talk about some garbage time heroes. I think Mack Jones has the ability to do that. I mean, we've seen flashes of guys that are in a backup role that come in that first game and wax. C. J. Miss Winston.
00:20:01
Sully Shaheed
So it's like, the they don't have film on them. They don't have tape. I mean, this is a and again, take it with a brain drain of salt, a former pro bowler. Okay. And if you're asking them to come out and sling it, why not they're at home, they know they're going to be trailing by a bunch in theory,
00:20:20
Sully Shaheed
cheap stacking options with the exception of Brian Thomas Jr. If you want to go another route, you can, but that allows you to fit in the rest of these guys that you may want to play, which again, we'll get to wide receiver because there's wide receiver on the other side of that ball.
00:20:33
Sully Shaheed
That ain't nobody playing. And I understand why, but we'll talk about it.
00:20:37
Sully Shaheed
Okay.
00:20:37
Baker
Because it's hard to get to him.
00:20:39
Baker
He's expensive as all shit.
00:20:41
Sully Shaheed
Mack Jones is $4,400 DK dollars.
00:20:49
Sully Shaheed
Tell me you can't fit in Justin Jefferson with $4,400.
00:20:52
Baker
I mean, you can definitely fit them. And like after you said that, I started playing around with some lineups and I'm like...
00:21:00
Sully Shaheed
It don't look too bad, now do it. It don't look too bad. So either we can go all the way to the top with Josh Allen Jalen Hurts, so we can go all the way to the dumpster and get our boy Mac Jones.
Unconventional Quarterback Options
00:21:16
Sully Shaheed
And I've said it on Wednesday, Cooper Rush. We've seen competent quarterback play from him before. The Eagles always want to give you games. Okay, so I mean the man spot, right?
00:21:28
Baker
Their head coach wants to give you games.
00:21:30
Sully Shaheed
yeah that Their coach is a f freaking idiot, but five and one as a starter. ah Dakota was placed on IR today.
00:21:40
Baker
yeah He's done.
00:21:40
Sully Shaheed
He's gone.
00:21:40
Baker
for he's He's done done.
00:21:42
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, he's done done. So it's the Cooper Rush show the rest of the season.
00:21:46
Baker
The tree Lance show.
00:21:46
Sully Shaheed
um CD lamb. Yeah, well, we Yeah, you're right. You you we might see Trey Lance. You're right. You're absolutely right. But for the time being, it's Cooper Rush. CD lamb is in ah no injury designation.
00:21:57
Sully Shaheed
So he's got all his weapons, weapons and and quotation marks. But it's like, again, another cheap guy that you can build around with cheap stacking options that could allow you to fit some of the bigger guys that you want in your lineup. So those are my two cents at quarterback. Baker, do you have anybody else you're considering tomorrow?
00:22:16
Baker
Well, one, I don't, considering what you can do around Mack Jones, cause like,
00:22:21
Sully Shaheed
$4,400 draft Kings dollars.
00:22:26
Baker
he's just so cheap.
00:22:28
Sully Shaheed
So cheap, bro.
00:22:30
Baker
You know, he he, but here's the thing, he's projecting with low ownership. I think the cards flip over and it's about to be like, Mack Jones, 25% owned.
00:22:43
Sully Shaheed
No way. I do not see that happening. Ain't no way, bro. Ain't no way. I just can't see it. No, no one wants to click on Matt Jones, regardless of price.
00:22:53
Baker
Myself included.
00:22:54
Sully Shaheed
No one wants to.
00:22:56
Baker
Myself included, I promise you. No part of me wants to click Mac Jones tomorrow. But I think if like if people play around and see whether you can build with Mac Jones, it's going to be like, hey, Mamie.
00:23:08
Sully Shaheed
Right. If he gets to be 202, I'm a happy guy.
00:23:12
Baker
I can live with that. So.
00:23:15
Sully Shaheed
You might be right.
00:23:17
Baker
But like that's the only thing that scares me about Matt Jones. like He's not projecting, but the those cards turned over and he's 25, 20% owned. And I'm just like, oh, Lord Jesus. Because if if if that was the projection, there's no way I would play.
00:23:33
Sully Shaheed
That's fair. ah Baker, you got anybody else on your list before you hop over to my back?
00:23:39
Baker
I'm not sure if I believe in Washington. like Washington's defense has been playing playing a little bit better lately. I'm not buying it. And as we kind of come, who's not playing this week?
00:23:47
Sully Shaheed
but they just acquired Marshawn Lattimore. But it's the aura of Marshawn Lattimore that will help the defense in the short term, okay?
00:23:58
Baker
I mean, and if they were going against Tampa and Mike Evans was out there, then I would be concerned.
00:24:04
Baker
But that's not the case.
00:24:04
Sully Shaheed
um We don't get the annual, we don't get the annual fight night.
00:24:07
Baker
We do not, we do not get fight night.
00:24:08
Sully Shaheed
I'm sad. I'm sad.
00:24:11
Baker
watch the, and watch freaking Washington or not Washington, you know, Washington and Tampa still playing next year.
00:24:12
Sully Shaheed
I'm sad.
00:24:16
Baker
Cause they're both in the NFC and it's like, nope, here comes fight night. Let's go.
00:24:20
Sully Shaheed
They'll put that'll flex that to prime time, so make sure everyone can tune in to fight night.
00:24:26
Sully Shaheed
So we ain't got to worry about it. Well, actually, I'm a fan of what you do.
00:24:27
Baker
But I mean, I think Russell Wilson and his yellow ballness, which I hate, I hate the yellow ball King, but I think he, like he has.
00:24:40
Baker
that next tier of upside I guess like I feel like he could be in that 20 to 25 range source point scored this week and if nobody drops a 30 35 burger like that could be what you like I cool I got 25 at you know 5900 you can live with that if nobody's dropping 30 and you could write you could be right there in the building
00:24:44
Sully Shaheed
Sure. Mm-hmm.
00:25:05
Sully Shaheed
That's fair. It just gives me a reason to play Calvin Austin to her.
00:25:10
Baker
I'm not playing Calvin Austin.
00:25:11
Sully Shaheed
Come on, man. Two touchdowns last game. One of those special teams. He's their deep ball threat. You love the Yolo ball.
00:25:18
Baker
Yeah, I'm not just not like it's it's George Pickens or I don't play him.
00:25:25
Sully Shaheed
All right, bet. we're gonna We're gonna put together a parlay at the end of the at the end of the show. Calvin Austin's part of mine.
00:25:31
Baker
Oh Lord Jesus.
00:25:32
Sully Shaheed
Calvin Austin anytime touchdown. book it
00:25:35
Baker
Oh my God.
00:25:35
Sully Shaheed
Book it. All right, let's talk wearing it back, Baker.
00:25:37
Baker
But look at those apples. While you talk, I'm gonna look up those odds.
00:25:41
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, go right ahead. ah So the chalk de jour looks like a lot of people are going to be on, of course, out the aforementioned album, Camara, Bijon Robinson, JK Dobbins, James Connor, question mark, JT against the pretty piss poor Buffalo Bills run defense.
00:25:59
Sully Shaheed
um A lot of people are going to be playing Breeze Hall, DeAndre Swift, no, um and Aaron Jones, ahgainst against Jacksonville, which again, another piss poor defense. And then it kind of tapers off. But what I need an explanation of Baker, what I need an explanation of, and maybe you can help help your boy out, is that A, for fan dual players only, no one's playing Jameer Gibbs.
Overlooked Running Back Opportunities
00:26:26
Sully Shaheed
So if you need a late swap onto somebody,
00:26:29
Sully Shaheed
might be the guy sub 5% ownership, the dude gets there every week. um Even with his limited touches split in the backfield with David Montgomery, David Montgomery, and another guy that no one's gonna play. But for us DraftKings player or you DraftKings players, please explain to me.
00:26:45
Sully Shaheed
And you and and don't don't use price as an excuse. Because I just don't want to fucking hear it. Okay, people got to pay up somewhere. Right?
00:26:52
Baker
Yes.
00:26:53
Sully Shaheed
But why nobody won't play say quam bok we
00:26:59
Baker
um It's a tough matchup.
00:27:04
Sully Shaheed
It's not.
00:27:06
Baker
The Eagles aren't good at running the ball.
00:27:10
Sully Shaheed
They are.
00:27:13
Baker
Saquon is not explosive or athletic.
00:27:18
Sully Shaheed
He backwards hurdles people.
00:27:22
Baker
I couldn't get enough of that play last week. I really couldn't.
00:27:26
Sully Shaheed
Neither could the internet, which was great.
00:27:28
Baker
Like, still watching it, like, as as we as we're here on Saturday night, still watching that play, and I'm like, what the fuck are you doing?
00:27:37
Sully Shaheed
I wonder what was going through his mind.
00:27:37
Baker
And how did you do it?
00:27:39
Sully Shaheed
Yeah. I wonder what was going through his mind at the time. Like when are they going to put that button on Madden?
00:27:42
Baker
Nothing.
00:27:47
Sully Shaheed
When will I be able to backwards hurdle somebody when I'm running the ball? Damn it.
00:27:53
Baker
Oh, man.
00:27:54
Sully Shaheed
That's like a, that's like a game breaker from NFL street.
00:27:58
Baker
I mean, he was literally playing NFL Street in real life.
00:27:58
Sully Shaheed
as as Yeah. That's what it seemed like.
00:28:02
Baker
Sheesh.
00:28:02
Sully Shaheed
That's what it seemed like. Didn't it? But yeah, why why why is nobody playing Saquon Barkley, man?
00:28:08
Baker
Nope.
00:28:08
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, I get it. Most expensive running back on the board, 100% get it, but they are A, the matchup is soft as sin, okay? S-A-W-F-T, it's soft.
00:28:19
Sully Shaheed
We already know the rushing chops he already showed it last week. He's got receiving and rushing upside. I mean, the man put up a buck 50 something, you know, total yards last week. He's, he don't come out the game.
00:28:31
Sully Shaheed
So there is no split backfield. The only thing you have to worry about is the push of the tush at the one yard line. And that's it. Other than that, it's a Saquon Barkley show and no one wants to play him this week.
00:28:44
Sully Shaheed
Help me help you help me. Why, why we no one play Saquon. I'm playing the shit out of Saquon. I played him the shit out of last week and nobody wanted to play him. Okay.
00:28:56
Sully Shaheed
I'll do it again this week.
00:28:56
Baker
Well, well more people.
00:28:57
Sully Shaheed
It's going to be Saquon Barkley and every lineup.
00:28:59
Baker
Well, more people are going to play him this week than last week. I promise you.
00:29:02
Sully Shaheed
Well, it's a shorter slate too.
00:29:07
Baker
I mean, I once again say Quans one of those players. I feel like we're going to flip these cards over and just get me like, yeah, we're we're not that stupid. I think the fact that he doesn't project well due to price in, in, you know, simulators is why his ownership is projecting down. But I think, wait, I'm saying when, when you get into these handbuilders,
00:29:25
Baker
They're not gonna be dumb enough not to play say Lombard with.
00:29:29
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, but again, what are you going to sacrifice if you play Saikon Barkley, right? Because a lot of people want to play Bijon. A lot of people want to play Albert Camaro. A lot of people want to play Aaron Jones in this matchup. There are other running backs that are just slightly less than him. Well, significantly less than him in price that.
00:29:47
Sully Shaheed
They'll probably want to click before they go all the way up to Saquon. And another forgotten man we'll get into him is the return of so of CMC, the Slatebreaker himself. So everybody is going to play this wait and see game with him.
00:30:00
Sully Shaheed
I think this is probably the week you want to play CMC, right?
00:30:04
Sully Shaheed
I mean, yeah, I get it.
00:30:04
Baker
Now that I, that I a thousand percent agree.
00:30:06
Baker
Like as I was practice building before we got on here, as as I mentioned, Baker Mayfield being one of the players I'm most interested in best believe CMC is going to be on the other side of some of those.
00:30:17
Sully Shaheed
I get it. Yeah. A hundred percent.
00:30:19
Baker
Because as I say to you all the time, Sally, if you're scared, go to church, I understand tomorrow Sunday, but I but i ain't been in church since I was a kid.
00:30:19
Sully Shaheed
A hundred percent. Are they?
00:30:28
Sully Shaheed
Respect. Respect. But yeah, no, no one's playing CMC. No one's playing Barkley. These are two of the guys that we were feening to jam in lineups and all of a sudden we don't want to play them.
00:30:39
Sully Shaheed
I don't understand.
00:30:41
Sully Shaheed
I just don't, I just don't get it.
00:30:41
Baker
Yeah, yeah like I don't care if that Tampa's run defense is quote unquote good.
00:30:47
Baker
I think that San Francisco has a scheme good enough to run on them theoretically. I mean, obviously you have one massive man in the middle of that defense that you need to account for in the running game.
00:30:59
Baker
But CMC, he brings the passing game usage for everybody else down by him being back on the field.
00:31:08
Sully Shaheed
Yes, 100% agree. The bad thing about bad thing about that play is that they play at 1 o'clock.
00:31:15
Sully Shaheed
If they were in the 4 o'clock window, he'd be the best late swap on the slate.
00:31:15
Baker
yes
00:31:16
Baker
Yes.
00:31:21
Sully Shaheed
And right now it's, it's, uh, Jameer Gibbs as the best late swap on the slate. So for me, for me, for us fan, dual players, but Hey, I mean, Yeah, who could you swap off to?
00:31:25
Baker
for For you. Me playing Saquon, I was trying to figure that out earlier. I'm like, if I play Saquon, who the fuck am I swapping to?
00:31:35
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. A hundred percent. But, uh, give me some more low owned plays that you feel that the field is not, is not keen to, or give me a top end play that has a lot of ownership that you are fading.
00:31:51
Baker
this i
00:31:58
Baker
So Aaron Jones is the one play on this slate that I'm like, I have not figured out as we're even, bob like we're about to be building and putting the things in the stuff to do the let do the things in the stuff before the games kick off to do the things in the stuff. Aaron Jones, I still haven't figured it out. Cause he has this insane high ownership.
00:32:19
Baker
And I don't think he, like, he, like his role is what he can do. Yeah. The matchup. Yeah. But does it, should it be it like, should he be 30% owned 30?
00:32:31
Sully Shaheed
He's top 24, he's top 24 drive Kings points one time this year.
00:32:35
Baker
Exactly. And for 30% for that, like I'm willing to, um I feel like i I should just roll the dice and be like, man, fuck this dude.
00:32:46
Sully Shaheed
And Baker will get into it, but the best pivot play is on the other side of his offense. We'll get there here in a second, but like, but he's the best pivot play on the board, Baker.
00:32:53
Baker
He's expensive.
00:32:59
Baker
He's number one, I get it.
00:33:03
Sully Shaheed
Thank you so much, Bob.
00:33:06
Baker
Now, here's the interesting thing about this slate is if you're not playing a Mack Jones as quarterback, you cannot, or or not, you cannot, you're sacrificing everything to put a Christian McCaffrey, a Saquon Barkley,
00:33:24
Baker
and probably a Jonathan Taylor or Bijon Robinson in a lineup with a top tier receiver, such as a Justin Jefferson or CB Lamb or something of all those lines. You just can't do it. By my, by my estimations, at least you're sacrificing too much.
00:33:44
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, but the ceiling of these guys, man, like they're pricey for a reason. You got to pay to play, man.
Running Back Ownership Considerations
00:33:53
Sully Shaheed
So again, I don't know.
00:33:55
Sully Shaheed
I want to, I want to get the guys that I know that, and yes, as a Packer in the past, Aaron Jones has broken slates.
00:34:04
Baker
yes
00:34:04
Sully Shaheed
Haven't seen it this year though. And I don't think that. it So the game script could go like one of two ways, right? like So we get the the median to high pass volume of a competitive game from Sam Donald, right? Let's say somehow, some way.
00:34:22
Sully Shaheed
they're trailing in this game. I'm not saying that's going to happen. I'm definitely not saying that's going to happen.
00:34:29
Baker
Go home until you're drunk.
00:34:29
Sully Shaheed
But what if, what if, what if again, we want to Zig where other Zag, right? So if we want to pivot off this man, the only way to do it, well, one of the main ways to do it
00:34:36
Baker
Yes.
00:34:40
Sully Shaheed
is that on the expensive end, you can go to the passing game and play Jay Jetta. Or we saw, you know, ah Jordan Addison even get there last week, you know, he had 70 some odd yards and a touchdown. So it's like, even if you want the other side, the other piece of this game and get away from the chalk known as Aaron Jones, you should do that, as opposed to, you know, let's play the passing game. I mean, you can play Hockinson and Jay Jetta and, ah and Sam Donald. You can do that.
00:35:11
Sully Shaheed
Right? I mean, but like, well, maybe not Hopkinson on FanDuel because for some reason he is like one of the highest priced tight ends. And I'm just like, um, you've played a game and you played 32 snaps last week.
00:35:22
Sully Shaheed
Like, all right, cool FanDuel. Thanks. Let's not forget y'all put Dalton Kincaid at 4k two weeks ago. Dumbasses. I don't know what the hell are they doing over there. But anyway, uh, I digress, but on draft Kings, you could certainly play a Viking stack and get off of Aaron Jones.
00:35:36
Baker
Absolutely. Absolutely.
00:35:39
Sully Shaheed
So that's one way to do it.
00:35:43
Sully Shaheed
Are you?
00:35:45
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. But you make up for it. If you play Jetta or Jordan Addison, like, it looks like Jetta's coming in at less than 10%. Jordan Addison is coming in at less than 2%. So it's like, you have a pathway to get off the chalk if you want.
00:36:00
Baker
Absolutely.
00:36:06
Sully Shaheed
I bet you teach at Hockinson would start himself.
00:36:09
Baker
He can't play DFS.
00:36:12
Sully Shaheed
I bet you T.J. Hawkins's family members would start T.J. Hawkins.
00:36:16
Baker
T.J. Huggins can play regular fantasy football. He can't play DFS.
00:36:19
Sully Shaheed
Can't play DFS. All right. My bad Calvin Ridley. I apologize. I apologize. Who else did we miss, Bake?
00:36:27
Baker
I mean James Goode still criminally, criminally, criminally on her own.
00:36:30
Sully Shaheed
That's another one. Thank you. Thank you for jogging my memory.
00:36:34
Sully Shaheed
Yes. Talk to me about some James Cook.
00:36:34
Baker
You know, I mean, we hammered it on Wednesday.
00:36:37
Baker
I mean, he was my boat take on Wednesday. It's like nothing has happened. He has not been steamed. Nobody's even come close to, you know, blowing some hot air on him.
00:36:47
Baker
So. I still love James Cook, like, and it has nothing to do with the fact that I was a huge fan of his older brother. Remindery Steve is season. I think he can out produce the chalkier running back in that game.
00:37:05
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, that's another good pivot play as well. I mean, we saw Chicago get absolutely ransacked by the Arizona Cardinals run game last week. So there's no reason that they would deviate from the plan to try and give Ramondre his 20 touches and gash the Chicago defense. Like that's a game I definitely don't want to play, especially, especially with the like 50% on Chicago Bears defense.
00:37:27
Baker
Right.
00:37:28
Sully Shaheed
So you can forget that. So if I'm going to go the other way, I might as well play the other side of the ball and play Ramondre. So I'm with you on that
00:37:37
Baker
And the last one, the last one. Yeah. I played zero of him this year and the fact that he's even in my brain makes me want to regret the way my brain works. Uh, it's not a heat.
00:37:53
Baker
na g
00:37:56
Sully Shaheed
oh agie
00:37:59
Baker
Thank you. that thank Thank you. made event I appreciate you. You are over for from one word and one word only.
00:38:08
Baker
But we saw Tyro and Tracy last week. Somehow he had what I think like 50 yards in the first quarter, 60 yards in the first quarter and only ended up with like 75 yards for the game, which was kind of weird.
00:38:16
Sully Shaheed
Yeah. Mm.
00:38:21
Baker
But I feel like this Washington, like I said, like I said, when it comes to the quarterback situation for Russell Wilson, I feel like Washington's overall defense is overrated. and Pittsburgh coming off there by, if Washington pushes the pace of this game to make Pittsburgh have to play faster, I feel like there could be some fireworks and not all the fireworks, not all the fireworks.
00:38:44
Sully Shaheed
Not all the fireworks. No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:38:47
Baker
You know, we're not talking like 35 to 32 type of game, but we could see a 24 to 27 type of game where, you know, you want a little springer.
00:38:59
Baker
I'm saying you want to go Salt Bay and sprinkle a little bit on there. So sprinkling sprinkling this game in is kind of how one of the one of the ways in which I'm kind of looking at to save salary as well as sprinkling pieces of this game.
00:39:04
Sully Shaheed
Respect.
00:39:13
Baker
So not is definitely a piece of how I kind of want to sprinkles especially because he's like he's the cheapest running back I think outside of also the other running back in that game lost the neck where that I kind of have interest
00:39:32
Sully Shaheed
with it. A hundred percent. Let's slide over to our receiver and I'll break down the chalk for you.
Wide Receiver Strategy and Pivots
00:39:37
Sully Shaheed
Uh, on fan dual on fan dual, uh, killer secure, killer secure leads the way.
00:39:41
Baker
ah com
00:39:43
Sully Shaheed
Uh, because like I said, the aforementioned injuries to the Buffalo wide receiving core, uh, NUC who did not get a price adjustment from playing, um, you know, after prices were released, it looks like he's got on track with Patrick Mahomes.
00:39:57
Sully Shaheed
So he's still cheap. And I think a lot of people are going to go to him. um Calvin Ridley is getting a lot of ownership this week. Lat McConkie, the possession receiver for that team, garnering a lot of ownership as well. Joss Downs with the pity city injury has opened up. um And a lot of people are going to play, I would say, a couple, a couple of lineups with either or of the Jets receivers with Devontae and Garrett Wilson. And other than that,
00:40:28
Sully Shaheed
It's about it. I just feel like it's ah it's a little spread out after that. So of those top guys, who are you willing to fade? And where do you actually want to go with um with some guys that probably should be played in this ownership spectrum?
00:40:45
Baker
I mean, I feel like Kalil Shakur is probably one of the staples that I could i can see myself kind of eye to eye.
00:40:55
Baker
I haven't figured out Josh Downs yet. Cause obviously like most people you see pity city go down and you naturally think, Oh, you know, you can beat Downs with the sickness. Oh, you like, you like that one?
00:41:19
Sully Shaheed
Oh man. I thought she was about to meet me at the club because it was going downs.
00:41:24
Baker
Oh no, I have to take it to my rocket, my, my, my rocket education right there.
00:41:27
Sully Shaheed
um My bad. I had to switch it to the rap side. So, you know, all right. I'm with it. I'm with it. Go ahead. Go ahead.
00:41:33
Baker
But, you know, Buffalo really does like, they do not give up these big plays. They, you know, they don't give up much, you know, production in general fantasy or real life, uh, production to, to wide receivers, especially people who are playing on the outside, which I think Josh would play primarily on the outside, especially with Kenny out.
00:41:43
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, don't play right receivers against Buffalo. Don't. Yeah.
00:41:52
Sully Shaheed
Yes.
00:41:53
Baker
Um,
00:41:53
Sully Shaheed
Yes.
00:41:53
Baker
So unless for some godforsaken reason I'm playing Joe Flacco, I don't see how I get to Josh Bounds.
00:42:02
Sully Shaheed
Dude.
00:42:02
Baker
I think that's going to be, I think that's what you know, I love me some Joe.
00:42:08
Sully Shaheed
That's fair.
00:42:09
Baker
The pride of Delaware.
00:42:10
Sully Shaheed
That's fair.
00:42:13
Sully Shaheed
All right, i Baker, I'll see you with the college football knowledge.
00:42:16
Baker
Well, I'm also watching LSU versus Alabama as we're doing this.
00:42:17
Sully Shaheed
I'll see you.
00:42:20
Sully Shaheed
LAU.
00:42:21
Baker
I stopped looking at futons and I'm watching college football as we're doing this.
00:42:26
Sully Shaheed
Gotcha.
00:42:28
Baker
But don't worry, I will get back to watching, looking at futons so I can feel this, you know, void behind me.
00:42:28
Sully Shaheed
So what else you got?
00:42:38
Sully Shaheed
Baker, I need to ask you. I need to ask you something.
00:42:43
Baker
Hit me with it, Zoe.
00:42:43
Sully Shaheed
And, and it's the same conundrum that we have at running back. And there are potential slate breakers that aren't going to be played.
00:42:55
Sully Shaheed
Okay.
00:42:57
Baker
Like Wynton Justin.
00:42:57
Sully Shaheed
Jay Jetta.
00:42:58
Baker
Like Wynton Justin.
00:42:59
Sully Shaheed
Jay Jetta.
00:42:59
Baker
Quinson Johnson is a He's a sleighbreaker.
00:43:00
Sully Shaheed
Oh, Quentin Johnston. I'm starting Quentin Johnston in yearly. I mean, my game's over, so I'm just gonna, I got, for those that don't know, I got Jamar Chased.
00:43:08
Baker
Fair.
00:43:12
Sully Shaheed
So rest in peace to all you yearly players that had to go against Jamar Chase. Heaven forbid you had to go against both Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow. And if they happen to have Chase Brown on that team.
00:43:21
Baker
So, funny story.
00:43:25
Sully Shaheed
Go on.
00:43:27
Baker
Obviously, the person who you're playing has Jamar Chase.
00:43:31
Sully Shaheed
Yes.
00:43:31
Baker
I'm in a dynasty league with him.
00:43:33
Sully Shaheed
Uh-huh.
00:43:34
Baker
He went against Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, and Chase Brown.
00:43:45
Sully Shaheed
I'm sorry about everyone that has been defeated by the Cincinnati Bengals this week. Rest in peace. That's why we have DFS. This is why we have DFS for guys like you and you and girls like you. If you got Jamar chased, raise the glass. And rest in peace to your yearly teams.
00:44:07
Baker
Oh, man.
00:44:10
Sully Shaheed
So yeah, but as I was mentioning,
00:44:10
Baker
Yeah.
00:44:12
Baker
Yeah.
00:44:13
Sully Shaheed
um potential slate Lakers that will not be played. Less than 10% owned Justin Jefferson. Again, probably the safest floor in fantasy football for and he's again, we kind of mentioned it on Wednesday, but like he's having a down year and he averages like 17 points a game.
00:44:31
Sully Shaheed
That's down for Jay Cheddar, right?
00:44:34
Baker
Facts.
00:44:35
Sully Shaheed
And another guy that's literally going to be probably sub 1% CD lamb.
00:44:42
Baker
Nobody.
00:44:43
Sully Shaheed
Who is playing CD lamb tomorrow?
00:44:44
Baker
And I mean, absolutely, positively, nobody.
00:44:51
Sully Shaheed
Listen, are you scared of the Eagle secondary?
00:44:56
Baker
no
00:44:59
Sully Shaheed
So like if um'm if I'm Cooper Rush, I'm going to one dude.
00:45:08
Sully Shaheed
Actually two, maybe, because we like some snake. We like we like Jake the snake. We'll get the tight ends here and just say we like some snake. But if you want to get really weird, and I mean really weird off the board, off the cuff and away from everyone else, the city lamb is sitting right there. Yes, he is expensive. I get it. Yes, he's coming off an injury. I get it. But the same reason why y'all ain't playing CMC is coming off an injury.
00:45:34
Sully Shaheed
We get it, the backup quarterback situation, totally understand that. But at the same time, we've seen, we've seen statistics from Cooper Rush in the past. This ain't no rookie. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I'm not scared of the Eagles secondary. This matchup ain't shit. They going to be playing from behind most likely, you know, smart guys like us are already playing Saquon Barkley. Yes, I get it. It's hard to jam in Saquon.
00:45:59
Sully Shaheed
And CD lamb or and Justin Jefferson. I get that. like I get it. I get it. But if you can find the salary to do it and Cooper rush again, I mentioned the quarterback positions probably one of the ways to do it. I would take a chance on CD lamb tomorrow. That's just me.
Exploring Bold Wide Receiver Plays
00:46:16
Sully Shaheed
So thoughts Baker. Are you are you going to be bold enough to fire up CD lamb tomorrow with me with me?
00:46:27
Baker
I mean, ah once again, I ain't never been scared. Like Bone Crusher said, I ain't never scared.
00:46:37
Baker
So to play CD-Lamp? No, I'm not scared to play CD-Lamp.
00:46:41
Sully Shaheed
I feel like there's a butt coming.
00:46:42
Baker
Does it?
00:46:43
Sully Shaheed
I feel like there's a butt coming Baker and I don't like it. I don't like it Baker. We're supposed to be on the same page with this.
00:46:53
Baker
it's It's purely just the Cowboys offense as a whole.
00:46:58
Baker
With your MVP candidate quarterback, your offense has been trash.
00:47:04
Sully Shaheed
Yes.
00:47:05
Baker
I mean, like our are we going with the backup narrative here?
00:47:06
Sully Shaheed
Yes.
00:47:09
Baker
Like the backup comes in and you know sparks them for the week?
00:47:15
Sully Shaheed
That's the difference I'm playing. I'm playing Mack Jones. I'm playing Cooper Rush. i'm I'm going back up. Listen, I played Spencer Rattler, okay? Like I don't give a damn. I'm taking jabs, man.
00:47:27
Sully Shaheed
I'm taking jabs, taking shots.
00:47:29
Baker
well
00:47:29
Sully Shaheed
I'm not here to mend cash, Baker. I'm not here to mend cash. I'm here to win, okay? I'd rather finish dead last. then make a cut line with chop, okay? And if CD-Lamb is the way to do it, and if Koopa Rush is the way to do it, and if J.Jetta is the way to do it, I'm gonna frickin' do it!
00:47:48
Baker
I mean, I get, I, I promise you, I get it. Cause once again, now I'm not, I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to make money.
00:47:55
Sully Shaheed
Make money.
00:47:56
Baker
I need to get that tattooed on me.
00:47:59
Sully Shaheed
See ya in punk, baby.
00:48:01
Baker
You know, cause I have so many tattoos that, you know, I'm running out of space.
00:48:04
Sully Shaheed
Oh, yeah yeah. Yeah, you're covered. Yeah. Yeah.
00:48:06
Baker
Covered.
00:48:06
Sully Shaheed
I should probably get a few.
00:48:11
Baker
I mean, do you have any? Do you have any tattoos?
00:48:17
Sully Shaheed
No. yeah No, not at all. But I'm just saying, man, you know, again, if you scare, it go to church, this is the time.
00:48:28
Sully Shaheed
This is probably the week. This is why we're here working overtime is because this has to be the easiest week to pivot off everything. You know, like there was good.
00:48:39
Baker
This, this is the week.
00:48:40
Sully Shaheed
There was good chalk. There was good chalk last week. You know, Chase Brown, good chalk. There were, there was other chalky pieces. Al Camara, good chalk. There was good chalk last week. I'm not saying any of the chalk this week is bad.
00:48:49
Baker
I don't care. I don't care what happened. Mike is sick. He was bad. Shocking. He ended up hitting. I don't care.
00:48:54
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, i'll eat well, whatever. we have yeah I should have just played all the Bengals last week. But anyway, um I digress.
00:48:59
Baker
Besides Jamar Chase.
00:49:01
Sully Shaheed
but said I know, right? He made up for it on Thursday.
00:49:05
Baker
Dude has over half of his fantasy points versus the What's been Ravens this year?
00:49:09
Sully Shaheed
and Ravens, yeah. First, the Ravens. That's fair.
00:49:15
Sully Shaheed
oh He's like a dude. He's just a dude.
00:49:15
Baker
Like you take the Ravens away, he's like a mid-tier fucking white receiver.
00:49:23
Baker
The fuck? Baltimore, get your shit together.
00:49:26
Sully Shaheed
Um, um, but like I said, you know, there's, there's other guys you can play for, uh, on the other side from, you know, off the lab McConkie chalk. You can play Quentin Johnston.
00:49:36
Sully Shaheed
Uh, you can play Josh Palmer if you want. Those guys are going to be coming in significantly less owned. Um, and there's other spots I think we can take advantage of when it comes to getting off the chalk.
00:49:41
Baker
Yes.
00:49:46
Sully Shaheed
But, and we mentioned it earlier, if a Mario Cooper plays, I would definitely get off the clear secure chalk and play Amari Cooper. I'd rather do that than play clear secure. Clear secure has a floor, but what upside do we really see clear secure going for a buck 20 and two? I don't. I can see Amari Cooper going for a buck 20 and two.
00:50:10
Sully Shaheed
He's done it before. So multiple times. So there's clearly a ceiling there clearly a ceiling there.
00:50:15
Baker
for multiple teams.
00:50:18
Sully Shaheed
So there's different ways to go. That's all I'm saying. um Do we miss anybody that you want to highlight?
00:50:25
Baker
I mean, the I think the interesting thing is like, if for whatever reason you decided to play a cults receiver, I don't know which cult receiver to play. If I decided to go with that route at all.
00:50:37
Sully Shaheed
Um, I never have announced his first name, right. But Mitchell at a nine that's, that'd be the guy.
00:50:41
Baker
At a nine. Yes.
00:50:45
Sully Shaheed
I think he'd be playing the slot for them, uh, because there's no pity city. So again, these outside receivers never get there against Buffalo. So if I can play somebody that's on the inside, then yeah, I'd rather play.
00:50:55
Sully Shaheed
I'd rather play Mitchell. You want to, you want a cheap way to get in that game. There there's your, there's your guy. There's your guy. Adeline Mitchell.
00:51:04
Baker
And now here's the scary, and here's the other scary part to me is relative to what they can do on the slate, I feel like every 49er besides the quarterback is under her own.
San Francisco Offense and Fantasy Spread
00:51:20
Sully Shaheed
I think, uh, see the 49ers are tough for me because I think, I think their offense is not going to be concentrated. I think it's going to be spread out. You know, I think Joanne Jennings is a good, a little piece. I think, you know, Deebo get his piece. I think CMC will get his piece.
00:51:35
Baker
So what you're saying is just play a naked Brock Purdy and run it.
00:51:39
Sully Shaheed
If I'm playing 49ers, which I'm probably not, I'm probably just exiting out that game off the slate. But unless I, you know, get the cojones to play CMC, um, I'm probably not playing any of them, but yeah, I would play Brock birdie and insert guy. It probably won't be Devo to be honest, but, um, yeah, maybe, maybe a broken naked Brock birdie could work.
00:52:04
Baker
Well, you know my feelings about naked quarterbacks.
00:52:06
Sully Shaheed
I 100% agree with you.
00:52:08
Baker
Can't fucking stand it.
00:52:09
Sully Shaheed
100%. Yeah, you you got it. You got it. You got to come on with it. and I need some partners. You got access to a ceiling.
00:52:14
Baker
ah Yeah, yeah and I need to have that ceiling up here instead of just be like, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:52:16
Sully Shaheed
I need some people.
00:52:25
Sully Shaheed
Let's smack up tight ends real quick. That cool?
00:52:28
Baker
why
00:52:30
Sully Shaheed
Uh, if you're not playing Kate Otten or but for some reason on Fandule, Kyle Pitts, a lot of people were playing Zach Arts, weird, Hunter Henry, awkward.
Tight End and Defensive Play Strategies
00:52:39
Sully Shaheed
Um, and, and will disley like new phone who disley.
00:52:39
Baker
Will Disley?
00:52:42
Baker
Who Disley?
00:52:45
Sully Shaheed
And then of course, George Kittle on draft Kings. He's basically unplayable on the fan dual. So you can forget that.
00:52:50
Baker
George Kittle's not coming in with ownership right now.
00:52:50
Sully Shaheed
Um, on DK really at that price.
00:52:54
Baker
No. 9%.
00:53:00
Baker
It is new phone, K.Dotten, Travis Kelsey, and Hunter Henry.
00:53:04
Sully Shaheed
Oh, so basically, if we don't want to play any of those guys, we can play whoever we want.
00:53:11
Baker
Now the question is, gross, after that.
00:53:16
Sully Shaheed
I was at, I was tasting meals ownership looking.
00:53:19
Baker
Taysom Hill is right behind Hunter Henry at number five.
00:53:22
Sully Shaheed
and Okay. So he's got a little bit of ownership to him.
00:53:24
Baker
Yes.
00:53:25
Sully Shaheed
Um, as I mentioned, TJ Hogginson, I'm fine with that.
00:53:30
Baker
Nobody's playing that, man.
00:53:31
Sully Shaheed
No one's playing TJ Hogginson. Um, If you're over here on fan duel, no one's playing Sam La Porta. Like literally nobody, not even Sam La Porta's family is playing Sam La Porta.
00:53:44
Sully Shaheed
And like I said, probably the snake, Jake the snake, man. You fire up some Jake the snake.
00:53:51
Baker
us
00:53:51
Sully Shaheed
If you choose to.
00:53:55
Sully Shaheed
It is gross, but that's what we're here to do. Again, this show is not for the faint at heart maker.
00:53:58
Baker
I mean, it's not so here's the interesting thing to me and you know, you know Listening to the people in the industry listening or just seeing what's been winning over the course like the last month this double tight end shit continues to hit and I've kind of come up come around under the like last two weeks and
00:54:00
Sully Shaheed
This this this show is not for the faint at heart.
00:54:21
Baker
and I'm still there and I'm like why am I doing this to myself? You know because it kind of goes against every fiber that I've learned in DFS over the years But at the same time it's always an evolving game, but this double-sided shit keeps hitting Like it's easy like
00:54:30
Sully Shaheed
Right. Right. Because that's where you're going to get value from. And I feel like a lot of builds this week are going to have double tight ends. I really I can see it. I'm not advocating that. I'm not advocating that. I don't want to play no damn double tight end unless it's national tight end day.
00:54:53
Baker
Well while we're talking, just playing every position your quarterback's gonna be inside in.
00:54:54
Sully Shaheed
Next year, I'm playing seven tight ends on national tight end day, by the way.
00:55:00
Sully Shaheed
um Absolutely. Let me say some no.
00:55:03
Baker
Makes sense.
00:55:03
Sully Shaheed
do ah He's do eligible.
00:55:04
Baker
That makes sense.
00:55:07
Baker
Lord Jesus.
00:55:07
Sully Shaheed
I know not on DK or Fandel, but still. um But yeah, I don't see myself building with two tight ends. I just like, what am I to jam in Hunter Henry and Will Disley and like feel good about that lineup?
00:55:23
Sully Shaheed
you know
00:55:23
Baker
i Don't feel terrible about building with K dot and in George Kittle It's also the current lineup that I'm literally building right now like as I'm sitting here right now a Chalky will disley Like us
00:55:28
Sully Shaheed
I'll get behind that okay with that.
00:55:33
Sully Shaheed
But again, I just know I ain't playing no damn will disley. Okay. I'm just not fucking doing it.
00:55:44
Sully Shaheed
That's the, that's the insta fade of the century. Actually. No, it's not.
00:55:49
Baker
like
00:55:50
Sully Shaheed
That's coming up when we talk defense.
00:55:54
Baker
What, the Bears? Well, you can go there now.
00:55:55
Sully Shaheed
Yep.
00:55:55
Baker
cause I ain't got shit else to say about them goddamn tight ends.
00:55:58
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, I ain't playing no damn, I ain't playing no damn Bears defense. You can, you can jump off something and land and land hard. Cause I ain't playing no damn Bears defense at 30% owned.
00:56:08
Baker
Absolutely not.
00:56:09
Sully Shaheed
Y'all can kiss my ass.
00:56:12
Baker
Now, I'm playing the Bears defense in yearly.
00:56:15
Sully Shaheed
That's different.
00:56:17
Baker
Because I'm sharp.
00:56:19
Sully Shaheed
That's, that's a way different.
00:56:24
Sully Shaheed
My defense goes tomorrow morning giants.
00:56:29
Baker
i mean That's fair.
00:56:31
Sully Shaheed
But, but ah we digress because we talk about the main slate. Um, they're doing some funky stuff on fan dual because it looks like everybody's getting their value from defense because I see a lot of Jacksonville, a lot of commies and a lot of Colts.
00:56:48
Baker
Colts!
00:56:49
Sully Shaheed
Yep. 12% ownership projected. They are the men. You know, Josh Allen, what is Josh Allen with his two interceptions this year.
00:57:01
Sully Shaheed
And then the one he got last week was Keon Coleman's fault, because he dropped it.
00:57:05
Baker
Facts big facts flat out drop drop drop that fucking touchdown
00:57:06
Sully Shaheed
I mean, he dropped the damn ball, right? So, yeah, he dropped an easy touchdown. So, like, and that led to this second interception a year. Get out of here with this Colts defense. I ain't playing with damn Colts defense.
00:57:18
Sully Shaheed
Again, on FanDuel, I'm playing the Lions. If I can get up to the Bills defense, I'll do it, because we already know Joe Flacco will go. You're going to throw some picks. You can get up to the Bills.
00:57:29
Baker
he he he gonna eat that bitch
00:57:31
Sully Shaheed
If you could get up to the bills, you you might want to play bills defense. Just saying.
00:57:37
Baker
I mean know on DK, if you can get up to the charges, we'll let us returns.
00:57:43
Sully Shaheed
Oh, you're right. Oh, you're so right.
00:57:48
Baker
Cause the fucked up thing is I thought we'll let us return last week. So I had so much Patriots defense defense and I was so fucking wrong that we'll let us did not return last week.
00:57:57
Sully Shaheed
Yeah.
00:58:00
Baker
But this time I'm a hundred percent certain we'll let us back. So if you can get to the charges, defense do that.
00:58:07
Sully Shaheed
Mason Rudolph, kind of a baller, kind of a baller. That backup quarterback, man, I'm telling you.
00:58:14
Baker
my fucking god
00:58:16
Sully Shaheed
It's just solidifying my point, solidifying my point, man.
00:58:17
Baker
but
00:58:19
Sully Shaheed
You got to play these backups. James Winston was taken down tournaments two weeks ago.
00:58:21
Baker
So what do you, go interim coach fucking narrative next?
00:58:24
Sully Shaheed
I mean, Sam Darnell is a bonafide backup quarterback himself. So you got that working for you. I mean, this is examples everywhere, Baker.
00:58:37
Sully Shaheed
for New Orleans.
00:58:39
Baker
Ah, New Orleans.
00:58:41
Sully Shaheed
Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Not New Orleans stinks. They stink. They're so bad. They are trash too.
00:58:55
Baker
well
00:58:56
Sully Shaheed
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Another example. Uh, this year, um, red rifles first start.
00:59:05
Baker
Yeah.
00:59:07
Baker
I mean it was the Raiders too, so that helped.
00:59:09
Sully Shaheed
I don't give a damn.
00:59:11
Sully Shaheed
I don't give a damn. Yeah. yeah it always Oh, it helped. It helped. I'm just saying the backup QB narrative, man. It's there.
00:59:11
Baker
I'm just saying that helped.
00:59:19
Baker
twenty When teams like the Raiders go on by I'm sad.
00:59:20
Sully Shaheed
Fire up some Mac Jones, fire up some Cooper Rust. What's that?
00:59:25
Baker
When teams like the Raiders go on by I'm always sad.
00:59:28
Sully Shaheed
I know. They're just the gift that keeps on giving.
00:59:33
Baker
here they They are so generous, aren't they?
00:59:36
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, yeah, they are. um So basically the synopsis of the defensive plays is just don't play the Bears and you're automatically off the chalk. So I think you'll be okay.
00:59:47
Sully Shaheed
Okay.
00:59:47
Baker
Yeah, I think DraftKings, the Broncos, the Broncos are gonna be like, there's gonna be ownership on them, but I'm fine playing with a little bit of one.
00:59:54
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, not outrageous, right?
00:59:55
Baker
Yeah, they're not the Bears ownership.
00:59:57
Sully Shaheed
No, no, 100%. um Baker, we've hit the one hour mark in our podcast. Of course, we got to make sure that we tell the peoples before they head out, you know, hit that like and subscribe. Make sure that you're listening to us during the terrible London game, because I'd rather listen to the deli than watch that trash. So, ah you know, thank you all for being here with us tonight. And of course, we will relay what we normally do on Wednesdays with a the bold calls.
01:00:27
Sully Shaheed
And B, we need, we need, we need a new segment, Baker, and we're going to call it, we're going to call it the hot 10.
01:00:32
Baker
hello Oh, Lord Jesus.
01:00:38
Sully Shaheed
We're going to call it the hot 10. You know why?
01:00:40
Baker
Cause we're going to throw a hot Ted.
01:00:40
Sully Shaheed
Because we're going to throw it. We're going to throw the parlay together tonight together. We're going to throw a nice hot four leg parlay together and we're going to throw that hot 10 on it.
01:00:52
Baker
Okay.
01:00:52
Sully Shaheed
So give me something bold. and give me two legs of the parlay that we're going to throw the hot ten on.
01:01:01
Baker
All right.
01:01:01
Sully Shaheed
Hit them with it, Zo.
01:01:04
Baker
Oh.
01:01:09
Sully Shaheed
Hit them with it.
01:01:13
Baker
I'm going to go with. Russell Wilson. For three touchdowns.
01:01:27
Sully Shaheed
All right, so we got the Russell Wilson over two and a half touchdowns. Okay. All right. I'm with it. I'm with it.
01:01:35
Baker
I'm also going to go with...
01:01:44
Sully Shaheed
Oh, come on, man. Come on. You get you they the people are waiting, man. The people gotta know. People gotta know. They gotta know.
01:01:52
Baker
Rock, Kim, Jared, any time-touch show.
