thedfsdeli

00:00:40
thedfsdeli
Welcome in to the DFS deli. I am the proprietor of this delicatessen Salih Alishahid. And tonight I am joined by chill Baker, oath listed as in on the DFS deli week three main slate first look the only first look show that matters in the DFS streets. Chill Baker. Welcome to work. How's everything going tonight? Baker? What's the word my friend?
NFL Injury Designations Explained
00:01:06
Baker
Well, first and foremost, you said something incorrectly. You said we're listed as probable. No, not a chance. but They got rid of that designation a few years ago. There is no such thing as probable anymore. We are officially questionable. And if you continue to falsify things or these practice reports, you will be fine. I'm just going to throw it out there.
00:01:25
thedfsdeli
That's fair. I'm ah hitting hit him with the old CMC. You know I'm saying. in And in i I knew I knew on Monday I wasn't playing. So I get where you're coming from.
00:01:34
Baker
So you see your head in the IR might not play for the next you know, six eight to eight weeks possibly I get you
00:01:38
thedfsdeli
Yeah. Just like everyone else in San Francisco. But here we are.
00:01:42
Baker
As
00:01:42
thedfsdeli
Week three. value question mark? I don't know. Whatever. Doesn't matter. I'm not a San Francisco fan. I give a shit less about their injury report. But as fantasy owners who whoa.
00:01:55
Baker
fantasy owners is I mean San Francisco just came became a lot easier to play I
00:02:01
thedfsdeli
I suppose I guess the easy part about it is don't play them.
Fantasy Football Player Strategies
00:02:07
Baker
Don't do that. Why would you do that?
00:02:08
thedfsdeli
I mean, unless you're unless you're playing the numbers, Mason. What do they mean?
00:02:13
Chilly
The numbers, Mason.
00:02:15
Baker
Sully, I like ah talking to people yesterday or last week before lock, there was people telling me that he's like, oh, I'm Faye and Jordan Mason. I'm Faye and Jordan Mason. I'm like, why are we doing this? Like, what are we doing here?
00:02:28
thedfsdeli
I completely agree.
00:02:28
Baker
If he if he does what he does, you're buried and you can't you can't recover from it.
00:02:34
thedfsdeli
Correct.
00:02:34
Baker
And they're like, well, what am I um'm like? And he scores the touchdown. And I'm like, and bye to every single one of your lineups. Just just stop.
00:02:41
thedfsdeli
I think like locking in the free square at running back is completely different than locking in the free square at like Y receiver, right? Cause You're going to get 20 totes. You know what I'm saying? Minimum. You can bank that with that low salary. But like the real question last week was the Cooper cup thing. Yes, he got hurt, but everyone played him as we advise to play him as well. But like if someone approached you and wanted to fade Cooper cup, I could justify that the Jordan Mason thing. You were always playing Jordan Mason. You're always doing that period.
00:03:16
Baker
Yes.
00:03:16
thedfsdeli
You could have convinced me a Cooper cup. You could have convinced me.
00:03:19
Baker
Forward.
00:03:20
thedfsdeli
But forward thinking show, correct? So we're we on a week three. We're on a week three. Joe, what's up, man? How's everything going?
00:03:29
Chilly
I mean, it's going pretty good. Um, week three was, uh, just another kind of, or week two was just another break even week. So, uh, nothing wrong with that.
00:03:40
Chilly
Um, obviously you've gone through all the, uh, the injuries that we've had here and, uh, you know, it's a, it's a lot. Uh, if your season long teams are dead, uh, welcome to the deli, uh, you know,
00:03:53
thedfsdeli
ah dead in week three
00:03:54
Chilly
um I mean listen some people you may be dead man like so um Yeah, I mean it's been a it's been a weird year so far um you know, let's not try to overreact to some stuff and Let's get ready to dive on in and then hey Baker. Remember when we were leaving the bar and he said this game's over
00:04:15
Baker
I do. And then i I literally pull into my fucking house and I'm like, what the fuck just happened?
00:04:20
thedfsdeli
Dead in week three. Oh, you ain't believing your boy, Kirko. Oh, that's ain't that your boy?
00:04:23
Baker
um
00:04:24
thedfsdeli
Ain't that your boy?
00:04:24
Chilly
So we left so we left we left the bar before the Saquon Barkley drop. So it was like, oh, it's third and three. They're going to run the ball twice here because they've been averaging five yards a carry. And they have the tush push. But let's pass it to Saquon. And Saquon dropped it. And then, oh, Darnell Moody lit them boys up.
00:04:52
Baker
I mean, don't get it twisted. I was happy from a boy, Kirko, especially in prime time, where everybody says he can't do anything. Trust me, I was more than happy. But yeah, I definitely told Chill, like, oh, this game's over.
00:05:01
Chilly
as game's over And then we got and we got home and I watched Kirk Cousins in five plays just carve up the worst defense in the NFL.
00:05:01
Baker
Like, like we're not watching. um like We can get out of here.
00:05:09
Chilly
Hint, hint.
00:05:11
thedfsdeli
That was hilarious, actually, to watch, to be honest. But hey, here we are, week three.
Week Three NFL Slate Breakdown
00:05:18
thedfsdeli
And if you don't know what we do here on the DFS deli, we go position by position and break down our favorite plays of the main slate here on this early look on a Wednesday night. Hot here in Cleveland, Ohio. Still crispy fall, not yet hit. I mean, we had fall for what, like a week, like three weeks ago.
00:05:36
Baker
Yeah, when it was still summer.
00:05:37
thedfsdeli
and Yeah, and now it's a heat wave.
00:05:39
Chilly
Yes.
00:05:40
thedfsdeli
So here we are.
00:05:41
Chilly
We're in summer part two.
00:05:43
thedfsdeli
Yes.
00:05:43
Baker
Hey, I'm getting more golf in, so I'm never going to complain about it.
00:05:48
thedfsdeli
That's fair, more power to you, more power to you. But as customary here on the deli, you know what time it is, fellas. If all of you would join me in raising a glass for our fallen brothers over the weekend,
00:06:06
thedfsdeli
Cooper Cupp, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Isaiah Pacheco.
00:06:15
thedfsdeli
Feel free to add names if I'm missing guys, but I know there's a lot of them.
00:06:19
Baker
I'm trying to catch up to all these drinks, damn.
00:06:21
thedfsdeli
I know it's rough out here, but rest in peace to your fantasy teams and rest in peace to the rosters here in the NFL as we raise the glass for our fallen soldiers.
00:06:30
Baker
A.J. Brown, David and Joku.
00:06:34
thedfsdeli
That was two weeks ago though.
00:06:36
Baker
Well, this is the first week in which.
00:06:36
Chilly
I mean, CMC went on IR this week, so he was officially dead.
00:06:42
Baker
To a tongue of Aloha.
00:06:44
Chilly
Too long.
00:06:48
thedfsdeli
Saquon Barkley's hands.
00:06:50
Baker
oh
00:06:53
Chilly
that's That's true.
00:06:54
Baker
That's hurtful.
00:06:55
thedfsdeli
And guess who is not getting the sad music, Baker? Rest in priest, Bryce Young's career. That dude, I've been saying that he sucks for God knows how long and it is about time they put that trash boat of a quarterback on the bench.
00:07:14
thedfsdeli
That guy's
00:07:14
Chilly
me
00:07:15
thedfsdeli
hey I don't know how many times I've come on this show and said he stinks. And it's about time that the Panthers realize he stinks. Even though that team stinks, the The stinks. The running game situation stinks. Their drafting stinks. The city probably stinks. I've never been, but it probably does stink. Everything that reeks Carolina Panther, I bet you the Panthers hockey team could beat the Carolina Panthers football team. Like it's just, it's so bad. And they finally,
00:07:45
thedfsdeli
Just said enough is enough. Rest in peace, Bryce Young, but you do not get any music here on the DFS LA.
00:07:53
Baker
You know what's going to happen to Bryce young, right?
00:07:55
thedfsdeli
He's gonna get traded somewhere and be good.
00:07:58
Baker
Bingo. we're I mean, we're seeing it with Baker Mayfield. We're seeing it with Sam Darnold. Bryce young is next on the list.
00:08:03
thedfsdeli
Dude, first of all, za first of all, Zach Wilson is next on the list, okay?
00:08:04
Chilly
Well, you could say that, you could, you could say that about, you could say that about Gino Smith, Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold.
00:08:10
Baker
He didn't go through Carolina.
00:08:17
thedfsdeli
I mean, he already did, but Geno's on the list too. But Geno took 10 years to get good. Bryce Young assisted his second year.
00:08:27
Baker
So you're saying there's time. We got time.
00:08:28
thedfsdeli
So you say there's time, yes. Bryce Young could be the Geno Smith of our generation.
00:08:34
thedfsdeli
or he could Or he could be the Josh Rosen.
00:08:34
Baker
I am.
00:08:37
Baker
Wow.
00:08:38
Chilly
He's on the Josh Rosen trajectory right now.
00:08:41
Baker
Loba.
00:08:42
thedfsdeli
Just for a little bit.
00:08:43
Chilly
A little bit. it's the It's the thing. New coach came in and said, whoa, not my guy.
00:08:50
thedfsdeli
He said, oh brother, this guy stinks.
00:08:53
Chilly
Those guys, thanks.
00:08:58
thedfsdeli
Okay, enough about bad quarterbacks. Let's talk about good quarterbacks. and who we want to play this week. So as we correctly predicted last week, Kyler Murray was the play. We were all about that Kyler Murray life. And now this week, everyone's going to be about that Kyler Murray life. So is it time to play someone else or Is it time to just play Kyler Murray again? Baker, since you were the Kyler Murray truther with me, how are you feeling about how Kyler's matchup shakes up and as the highest over under on the entire slate? How are you feeling about that?
00:09:39
Baker
I mean, I definitely don't mind the Kyler Murray play again. like that's That's a game environment and all the things that all the people will say, all the talking heads you know that you want to get in, you want to find pieces, so on and so forth.
00:09:51
Baker
It's also an expensive game to get in. like there's there are There are not many cheap avenues to access that game. But Kyler's...
00:09:59
thedfsdeli
Greg Dorch doesn't tickle your fancy.
00:10:02
Baker
I had way too much Greg Dorch last week.
00:10:06
thedfsdeli
The human. dorch
00:10:06
Baker
all my non
00:10:08
Baker
On my non Kyler teams, I had Greg Dorch. With Kyler, I had Marvin Harrison, but without Kyler, I had Greg Dorch.
00:10:16
thedfsdeli
Yep. He was definitely the play. And, you know, uh, with, with Trey booboo, uh, fumbling his way into a touchdown salvaging his day. That was cool.
00:10:27
Baker
well Well, Kyler's only incompletions went to Marvin Harrison. That's the crazy part about how efficient he was.
00:10:34
thedfsdeli
Yeah, but the best part about that was is he was targeting me in the end zone like a lot like he as big of a day as he had it could have been bigger facts.
00:10:38
Baker
Yeah.
00:10:42
Baker
He could have four of them things. He could have half.
00:10:45
thedfsdeli
So basically what you're saying is that you want to go back to the well.
00:10:45
Baker
ah I definitely, like I said, I don't mind going back as well, but here's the thing. So you said we're done talking about bad quarterbacks. I'm not.
00:10:55
thedfsdeli
Well, okay.
00:10:56
Baker
I.
00:10:56
thedfsdeli
Well, at at least you get to talk about quarterbacks that are actually starting in the NFL on Sunday, which Bryce young is not. So because he's bad at like football, he can't do the, the throwing thing to to people on his, on his team, but go on bad quarterbacks that are actually starting in the NFL this week.
00:11:16
Baker
I mean, I figured I would talk about your favorite quarterback at the NFL, Sally, since, you know, this is what we're this is where we are. This is what we're doing.
00:11:23
thedfsdeli
Uh, first of all, okay, if you talk about my favorite quarterback, he ain't bad, okay?
00:11:28
Baker
No, you're most hated quarterback.
00:11:30
thedfsdeli
Oh, hate it. Oh, go on.
00:11:32
Baker
Yeah, you're most hated quarterback in the NFL.
00:11:34
thedfsdeli
Oh, that's just their favorite. but That's just their favorite.
00:11:35
Baker
No, I may say say my man say favorite.
00:11:35
thedfsdeli
I apologize.
00:11:37
Baker
I apologize. But you're most hated quarterback in the NFL. um Can I interest you in any DeShawn Watson?
00:11:51
thedfsdeli
so
00:11:52
Baker
I said to Sean Watson.
00:11:59
thedfsdeli
Oh, you're getting every bad sound bite I have on the soundboard right now because you did not just mention the shot.
00:12:05
Baker
Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. Just said to Sean Watson a hundred percent.
00:12:10
thedfsdeli
The shot was it is old Bryce young.
00:12:15
thedfsdeli
Oh, it sucks, man. He sucks.
00:12:18
Baker
He is. up I mean, i'm here's the thing.
00:12:18
thedfsdeli
ugly
00:12:19
Baker
I am not. I'm right behind you on the fact of Deshaun Watson being terrible, being a trashcan, being all the things with the stuff right there with you. But to put my bias aside for a second, one of the teams that we are going to look at all year is going to be the New York football playing Giants.
00:12:34
Baker
And there's been nothing in the first two weeks that so that sells us that we should stop looking at them.
00:12:40
thedfsdeli
The commies should have put 40 on them last week.
00:12:43
Baker
Easily, easily.
00:12:45
thedfsdeli
They were in the red zone the entire game.
00:12:50
Chilly
They still won though, giving up three touchdowns and score enough.
00:12:52
thedfsdeli
I mean, yeah, yeah, they won. Yeah, they won obviously because you know, seven freaking field goals. But like, again, the commies and i'm I'm agreeing with you, Baker. I'm agreeing with you is that the Giants are bad, very bad on defense. And if the commies had any sort of red zone offense, they Jay Daniels should have broke the slate.
00:13:14
Baker
thousand percent
00:13:16
thedfsdeli
should have, but because they kept getting stalled inside the five yard line and can't convert anything. Are you saying that Deshaun Watson can? Is that what you're saying?
00:13:28
Baker
I'm saying that the Giants are a place that I want to target. Um, and I feel like there will be those, those huge spike weeks from Amari Cooper at some point in time. This week at some point in time this year, uh, you know, the narrative behind him has always been at home, that whole blah, blah, blah. We are in Cleveland, um, on Sunday. So if ah if I'm going to try to get different, especially with a lot of chalk coming at four o'clock, I feel like Deshaun Watson could definitely be an interesting avenue in the one o'clock timeframe with him and Amari Cooper.
Promoting the Podcast's YouTube Channel
00:14:01
Baker
put you ahead of everybody who's just waiting on that PMR, and then you can just ride the wave with them all the way up.
00:14:07
thedfsdeli
Baker, can I pause one second before I kick the chili real quick? First of all, if you're listening to the podcast version of this, you have no idea what I'm about to talk about.
00:14:11
Baker
Sure.
00:14:16
thedfsdeli
That's why you should come over to the YouTube channel and hit subscribe over there, hit that notification bell to give you all the updates when we upload episodes. But if you're looking at the YouTube version of this, Baker, what is that shirt?
00:14:29
Baker
You just now notice my shirt.
00:14:30
thedfsdeli
Yeah. I just now notice it because if you don't know where like my camera is, I look at myself.
00:14:32
Baker
no
00:14:36
thedfsdeli
I don't look directly into the camera and I don't look at y'all. Okay. And this, this guy really, really, you're putting yourself on the interwebs.
00:14:45
Baker
Oh, I'm so freaking lonely. I love this shirt. I like, I saw this shirt at a Spencer's and I'm like, I need to buy it. that This is when the girl was still in town and yeah, uh, she supported me buying it. So.
00:15:04
thedfsdeli
ah Let's pour one up for Baker's micro junk.
00:15:14
Chilly
Okay, thank you.
00:15:14
thedfsdeli
Okay, I digress. I apologize for deviating from fantasy football talk. um Baker, good takes. I'm still not playing to Sean Watson, but I appreciate the reasoning behind you and I'll kick it back to you because I know you got some other plays here.
00:15:30
thedfsdeli
but chill, where are you looking at at the QB position? And I know it ain't Sean Watson.
00:15:35
Chilly
It may be to Sean Watson. We're gonna take a look ah Again it's Again, well we'll we'll see I think this week I'm just gonna follow the bad teams.
00:15:37
thedfsdeli
like
00:15:42
Baker
We're sharp, Sully, we're sharp.
00:15:51
Chilly
ah I would like to play This man is currently leading the NFL and completion percentage It's one gardener minch you
00:16:04
Chilly
So he's playing the Panthers. The Panthers have a new quarterback, maybe able to keep the game relevant with Andy Dalton. um But now matt I do like me some Gardner-Minchu this week. I think he's going to come in at low ownership, um taking a look here at a couple of other plays. The Rams defense is pretty non-existent.
00:16:30
Chilly
um So i do like I do like Brock Purdy this week. I think the San Francisco options are getting a little bit thin, which makes him easier to play. um Again, the Rams defense is not good and San Francisco could have the ball a lot. um Again, you can argue to see if they can keep it back and forth. But if San Francisco gets out to a big league, I do believe we know how they'll get there.
00:16:57
Chilly
um So again, I'm i'm not too, uh, I don't think Brock Birdie is going to be a bad play here. And then we have to acknowledge Derek Carr. Um, he's at home playing the Eagles.
00:17:10
Chilly
The Eagles have one of the worst defenses in the NFL, Baker.
00:17:14
thedfsdeli
Acknowledged him.
00:17:14
Chilly
Like if you want to, if you, if you, if you're willing to play Deshaun Watson at home against the Giants, then you have to use the same logic for Derek Carr. The Eagles defense is awful.
00:17:27
Chilly
They
Analyzing Quarterback Matchups
00:17:28
Chilly
did not fix it. It's awful.
00:17:32
Baker
I mean, the Eagles defense is terrible and I can definitely acknowledge that.
00:17:35
Chilly
And the Saints are at home, like, and that offense currently is on fire. And I also like Jalen Hurts in the same game as well, depending on ownership, but.
00:17:45
Baker
I mean, to steal a line of you to Deshaun Watson, at least gives you a rushing floor.
00:17:51
Chilly
So it's Derek Harris.
00:17:52
thedfsdeli
rush for
00:17:53
Chilly
Derek Harris had a rushing touchdown last week.
00:17:56
Baker
He doesn't give you a rushing floor. He fell into the end zone accidentally from the one yard line.
00:17:58
Chilly
He got a rushing touchdown, though.
00:18:02
thedfsdeli
Hey yo, can we please, can we acknowledge the fact that when that, when he scored, he hit the Michael Jackson.
00:18:03
Baker
and
00:18:09
thedfsdeli
Can we acknowledge that please?
00:18:11
thedfsdeli
That was Epic.
00:18:11
Baker
What the hell did he do?
00:18:11
Chilly
He did. You didn't see him?
00:18:13
thedfsdeli
He did the, yeah, he did the crotch grab after he scored.
00:18:14
Chilly
You didn't see him?
00:18:17
Baker
I did not see that.
00:18:17
Chilly
Oh, yeah.
00:18:18
thedfsdeli
He did the, and did the dance.
00:18:18
Baker
I mean i must have missed that.
00:18:18
Chilly
Oh, yeah.
00:18:20
thedfsdeli
Oh man, I died. I died.
00:18:20
Chilly
Oh, yeah, he trolled them boys.
00:18:23
Chilly
um
00:18:24
Baker
I mean, it it probably has something to do with the fact that I don't pay attention to Derek Carr.
00:18:29
thedfsdeli
It was everywhere, dude.
00:18:30
Chilly
and And then and maybe maybe this is just me.
00:18:31
thedfsdeli
It was epic.
00:18:34
Chilly
um As much as I do like the Kyler Murray take, um he did do it against the Rams. I mean, I know they're at home, but I feel like Detroit's defense is going to be a lot better than what they played against.
00:18:51
Chilly
I'm actually more interested in Jared Goff because I still don't believe the Cardinals have a good defense.
00:18:58
Baker
Absolutely not.
00:19:00
thedfsdeli
I think the defense is kind of legit, man, for a good half of football before Josh Allen turned into the fire Hawk. They were freaking, they were holding down the bills.
00:19:10
thedfsdeli
Like it they they were beating, they were beating the snot out of the bills for a little bit.
00:19:11
Chilly
sir
00:19:14
thedfsdeli
And then of course, you know, Josh Allen does Josh Allen things. And then boom, they won, but still they came up with a little attitude like, Hey, we can hang with the best of the best.
00:19:19
Chilly
Yeah.
00:19:23
thedfsdeli
And then they went and absolutely obliterated what is left of the Rams.
00:19:30
Chilly
I mean, the Rams are missing.
00:19:30
thedfsdeli
oh
00:19:31
Chilly
We're missing so many pieces on defense. Offense, we obviously know what they were missing. but um I don't know, man. I may be more inclined to play golf. And then this one more shot out. Gino Smith is playing the Dolphins. The Dolphins defense is not good either.
00:19:56
thedfsdeli
I was going to mention that, but you know, I could talk about Gino Smith for hours, so I'm not going to.
00:19:58
Chilly
but ah Yeah, I mean, I'll let you elaborate on your boy, Gino Smith.
00:20:06
thedfsdeli
Well, like I said, the dolphins who probably won't have any offensive snaps seeing as how they're starting. kind st Kyler, styler, Myler, Thompson, wherever his name is against Seattle in Seattle. Like we know what Gino Smith is, but the thing about the Seahawks as the Seahawks is that they like to keep everyone in the game.
00:20:26
thedfsdeli
So if, when we get to our receivers and such, if y'all think Tyra Hill is unplayable, you're wrong. I mean, this Seahawks team loves to just hang with people that they have no business hanging with. And then it takes us to the last drive of the game or overtime in last week's case to get victories.
00:20:43
thedfsdeli
Gino Smith with his new boys and JSN and DK Metcalf doing his thing on the cheaper end is probably one of the better options on the slate. So I'm about some Gino Smith. If you want to save some salary with going up in salary, obviously, you know, Baker and I like Kyler, but we would be remiss if we just don't talk about Lamar freaking Jackson.
00:21:03
thedfsdeli
After that dumb loss last week, they had no business losing to the Raiders. Okay. So now you got a own two Ravens team that Superman has to come out.
00:21:15
thedfsdeli
The MVP has to come out. So if this ain't the match up to do it after the Cowboys got embarrassed by Derek freaking car. Okay.
00:21:25
thedfsdeli
You think Lamar can't have the current, you have the current front runner for MVP, right? Derek car, like, This is a Lamar Jackson slate. If I've ever seen one, like people are going to stop at salary and get to Kyler. Nah, I would keep going and just go all the way the hell up with Lamar. Like this Cowboys defense is sus at best. And I get it. The Cowboys are a little desperate themselves sitting at one and one and everything. They don't want to get embarrassed on the home turf again.
00:21:25
Chilly
The MVP, right current MVP, Derek Carr.
00:21:56
thedfsdeli
But if any man on this planet is going to be able to do it, not named Derek Carr, it's got to be Lamar. So I think Lamar is the best play on the slate. If you could find the salary, which all these injuries at every position, you can find it with all the, with all the salary savers, find room for Lamar and be happy about it. Baker thoughts.
00:22:22
Chilly
and Before you go, Baker, do you want to take a prop bet?
00:22:24
Baker
Yeah.
00:22:25
Chilly
Do you want to take Derek Carr versus Deshaun Watson?
00:22:27
Baker
Easy, easy money.
00:22:29
Chilly
Alright, book it.
00:22:31
Baker
Even though speaking of prop bets, I'm so sick to my stomach.
00:22:32
Chilly
Book it.
00:22:35
Baker
We did the free. I took a prop bet versus this other person last week, Daniel Jones versus, uh, Bryce young who would be first to win a million maker, when somebody a million dollars, I was so sickened by that.
00:22:55
thedfsdeli
Jones will win someone a million dollars.
00:22:58
thedfsdeli
And he did. And he did. And he did.
00:22:58
Baker
Well, why wasn't it you to win the million dollars?
00:23:01
Baker
Why, why didn't you win the million dollars? That's the more frustrating.
00:23:04
thedfsdeli
Because I'm a fish, Baker. Because I'm a fish. That's why. Believe in Daniel Jones. Not this week. But believe in Daniel Jones, damn it.
00:23:12
Baker
Oh, you don't want to go to back to the well for the third week of the row.
00:23:18
thedfsdeli
I love playing Daniel Joseph against the freaking Browns. Are you serious? Did you see how the Browns embarrassed Trevor Lawrence? This man had 16 yards passing in the first half.
00:23:30
Baker
He looks so bad or or it it just looks so bad.
00:23:31
Chilly
i I can't even, I can't even defend Trevor Lawrence anymore. Like, I don't know what that guy's thinking sometimes. It's like, man, he shows flashes of brilliance and then he shows flashes of like, maybe it wasn't Urban Meyer's fault.
00:23:48
thedfsdeli
49% of the Jaguars plays were either net neutral yardage or negative yardage half the game. They didn't gain any yardage.
00:23:57
Chilly
I don't know. Is it?
00:24:01
Chilly
Is it more sad that they had a chance to tie the game or win the game?
00:24:01
Baker
That's crazy.
00:24:04
thedfsdeli
And they still could have won. They still could have won.
00:24:06
Chilly
like
00:24:07
thedfsdeli
That's what happened. That's what happens with Cleveland literally gets less than a hundred yards of total offense in the second half.
00:24:12
Chilly
Dude, if you sat there and watched that game at a bar, like, how could you?
00:24:13
thedfsdeli
Like I,
00:24:21
Chilly
Like, holy Shit just called me.
00:24:21
thedfsdeli
I was watching at home and was just like, this is one of the worst football games I've ever witnessed in my life.
00:24:28
Baker
It didn't look like fun.
00:24:29
Chilly
i would ah I would have just propped my phone up on the video chat because I just watched it through through the phone, the red zone. Could have just propped you up on the coffee table.
00:24:38
thedfsdeli
It was, so it was bad. It was bad. And we might have to witness another bad one too. Like I said, the giants, bro. Oh my God. Oh, that's, that's going to be a tough one, but Daniel Joseph won $7 million dollars Baker. Any other quarterback quarterback takes before we head to the guys that run the foos ball.
00:24:59
Baker
I mean, you guys hit on most of the plays that I was looking to. I definitely like the Gardner Menchu play, ownership pending. I'm not a huge fan of a Chucky Gardner Menchu, but he was always have a place in my heart, obviously, ah never going to play their car in my life. That's just me.
00:25:18
Baker
Part of me kind of feels like at some point in
00:25:20
Chilly
You know you know Baker I heard the same thing when you'd be like I ain't never gonna play Kyle Pitts You haven't had a chance to Other than week one.
00:25:26
Baker
i Haven't played Kyle pitch yet this year though. I'm still yet to play a mission.
00:25:30
thedfsdeli
Right, we haven't even had an opportunity.
00:25:32
Baker
I Was 50% of the time I've had an opportunity to play him and I didn't play him just saying No, he did he had yet he had eight points dude It really was fucked up as that sounds I
00:25:36
Chilly
Oh You should have played him a week one he hit Yeah, I was like second for tight end scoring that week bro
00:25:39
thedfsdeli
Half the time.
00:25:47
thedfsdeli
That sure as shit was, wasn't it?
00:25:51
Chilly
Or it was top five.
00:25:54
thedfsdeli
Man, sad days ahead, boys.
00:25:57
thedfsdeli
Sad days ahead.
00:25:57
Chilly
So I did it.
00:25:57
Baker
i mean i'm not
00:25:59
Chilly
So like if you think um this is like this is probably to me is the weirdest game to say is that is the is the Bears at the colt. If if Anthony Richardson loaders ownership is low, I'm kind of feeling inclined to play him.
00:26:17
Chilly
And like I think that just might be a peer ownership take.
00:26:21
Baker
I mean I'm not
00:26:24
thedfsdeli
Guys, Lamar is the best player on the slate. Lamar is the best player on the slate. Just deal with it.
00:26:24
Chilly
You could probably play him naked, too.
00:26:30
Chilly
i the ass I'm probably not going to disagree with you there, truthfully.
00:26:33
thedfsdeli
Except accept your fate. It's a Lamar Jackson week. Sorry about it. Kyler go get his. kyli Kyler, Kyler go get his. I think Kyler is going to get his. But it's Lamar Jackson week, guys.
00:26:43
Baker
I was actually going to mention a rich as well just because he can do it all by himself.
00:26:43
thedfsdeli
Play Lamar Jackson.
00:26:49
thedfsdeli
You know who's a better version of Anthony Richardson?
00:26:49
Baker
he's
00:26:50
Baker
He's.
00:26:51
thedfsdeli
Lamar Jackson.
00:26:54
thedfsdeli
Should probably just play Lamar.
00:26:55
Chilly
Uh, one of them has a win, one of them doesn't.
00:26:59
thedfsdeli
You ain't wrong.
00:27:00
Chilly
Or no, no, the culture owned too. My bad. The culture owned too.
00:27:03
thedfsdeli
ah Yeah, yeah, you are wrong.
00:27:04
Chilly
They're both, yeah, I am wrong. You gave me too much credit, my bad.
00:27:09
thedfsdeli
i was Hey man, on this show, I'm willing to give you credit.
00:27:11
thedfsdeli
So I mean, bo balllier boo, bad liar, boo.
00:27:11
Chilly
Yeah, I lied.
00:27:12
Chilly
I lied to you. In broad daylight. In broad daylight, I lied to you.
00:27:17
thedfsdeli
In broad daylight, on in my own dojo,
00:27:24
thedfsdeli
All right guys, uh, running backs.
Running Back Options and Matchups
00:27:26
thedfsdeli
So interesting.
00:27:27
Chilly
joe Jordan Mason, Alva Camara, next.
00:27:27
thedfsdeli
Uh, Oh, no, you didn't really, you think, you think, uh, you think, you think people are going to point chase with our camera.
00:27:31
Baker
Oh, we ain't running out on Camara. We missed our week on Alvin Camara.
00:27:34
Chilly
They play the Eagles, bro.
00:27:39
Baker
We missed our shot.
00:27:41
Chilly
They play.
00:27:45
Chilly
Absolutely.
00:27:49
thedfsdeli
I mean, that's fair.
00:27:49
Chilly
But the Eagles defense is so bad, it's bad.
00:27:57
thedfsdeli
Yeah, but I'm kind of, I'm kind of with you on a Jordan Mason thing. I mean, like LA just got destroyed on the ground.
00:28:03
Chilly
Well, on DraftKings, he's definitely... I still think he's a free square at $6,200. On Fandul...
00:28:10
thedfsdeli
They ain't playing, they ain't playing.
00:28:11
Chilly
No, on Fandul, that's a decision. But on DraftKings, I still think he's free.
00:28:19
Baker
Yeah, draft games, it's too easy.
00:28:19
Chilly
I don't...
00:28:20
Baker
I don't think you have to play him anymore, but...
00:28:22
Chilly
I think you have to play him. The the other running back got one carry after he messed up that play.
00:28:32
Chilly
He is getting 20 carries at 6,200 in a condensed ah offense now.
00:28:40
thedfsdeli
Yeah. I would say on draft Kings, he's probably, he's probably be like the play on Fandul.
00:28:43
Chilly
I think on DraftKings, you have to play him. I think you have to play him.
00:28:48
thedfsdeli
It's a debate. Cause I mean, he's the third highest price running back right now.
00:28:53
Chilly
And i still I still think he's probably still underpriced on Fandal.
00:28:58
thedfsdeli
I mean, he's 200 behind Bijon. He's, he's, he's 400.
00:29:01
Chilly
Bijon's the prime time game should even be there.
00:29:04
thedfsdeli
Yeah. But Fandul, guess what? Fandul you play the prime time game.
00:29:08
Chilly
Want to talk about the Pat Mahomes?
00:29:08
Baker
Yeah, have fun with that, Fandool players.
00:29:11
thedfsdeli
i No.
00:29:13
Baker
Gross.
00:29:14
Chilly
So stupid.
00:29:15
Baker
Are you playing Carson Steele on Fandool?
00:29:18
thedfsdeli
ah Carson Steel is I do believe 5200. Yes, he is 5200 on FanDuel.
00:29:22
Chilly
Oh.
00:29:24
thedfsdeli
So yes, you are playing Carson Steel.
00:29:25
Baker
You playing some Maji P-9 over there?
00:29:28
thedfsdeli
Are you playing Kareem Hunt?
00:29:32
Baker
I mean, you Fandool people, you have to give all the takes since you have the extra stupid game.
00:29:33
Chilly
and
00:29:36
Chilly
No, you don't.
00:29:37
thedfsdeli
No, you don't.
00:29:37
Chilly
No, you don't.
00:29:40
thedfsdeli
No, no, we don't.
00:29:40
Chilly
No.
00:29:41
thedfsdeli
He's absolutely right. Chill is absolutely right. No, we do not. Because again, I know a lot of, I know I don't have thousands of freaking views on in all my podcasts and views and crap like that.
00:29:52
thedfsdeli
I don't care. Fan duel. What the fuck?
00:29:56
thedfsdeli
Why do you have the fucking prime time game on the main slate? Main slate? Okay? One to four, four to seven, 38 o'clock. None of us want to sit here with fucking our winnings here at seven 30 and have to worry about you slipping down the damn tournament leaderboard because some ding dong decided to play freaking ah they they decided to stack the night game and it blows the fuck up. That is a load of bullshit. And I freaked that's so stupid.
00:29:57
Baker
are you doing?
00:30:31
thedfsdeli
Why is that game on there? There are single game slates for that. There are showdowns for that. Get it off the main fucking slate, please.
00:30:44
thedfsdeli
I digress, running backs, chill. Besides Jordan Mason, where you at?
00:30:50
Chilly
the numbers Mason Yeah,
00:30:52
thedfsdeli
Dude, what do they mean?
00:30:55
Chilly
um yeah I mean I kind of pointed it out I really think this Philadelphia rushing defense is Their defense as a whole it's just it's just not very good um So I do like Alvin Kamara this week is it point-chasing yeah, but it's also a matchup dependent um Again, the Eagles gave up a ton here to Bijon on the Monday night game. So it's a short week. It's in the dome and Um, I mean, if we're, if you're following the rules of years past, it's, it's the course field of fantasy football. Um, until the saints offense kind of proves to me, they're not legit and kind of be silly and not, not enough to take a look at it. So I do like me some Alvin Kamara this week. Um, a couple of different guys here. Um,
00:31:45
Chilly
You know, in that, in that same game, um, you kind of looking at Saquon, uh, coming off the, uh, the drop seas there. Uh, he's gonna, he's gonna want to play better. Uh, AJ Brown is still going to be out. Uh, so the Philadelphia offense is getting a little more condensed. Um, it is one of the higher total games on the slate. So I think Barkley also becomes a, an interesting look here. Um,
00:32:12
Chilly
And then I think you're kind of kind of look at that Seattle Miami game. Both of those running backs is I don't know. I haven't really seen any injury news on Ken Walker, so I don't know if it's still if he's so between him and Charbonnet, but I do like I still like Charbonnet and the bond a Chan in that game as well.
00:32:36
thedfsdeli
Still like a cup of Chabonie.
00:32:38
Chilly
Yeah.
00:32:40
thedfsdeli
I respect that. um I think that sans Fandul being stupid and you don't have to play freaking Carson still a um there's I think there's a few cheaper options that we could actually look to because I mean again there's gonna be some matchup dependent scenarios but I get like we we get a cheap ish Zamir right against Carolina.
00:33:07
Chilly
So like, so the thing with that is, is like, to me, he's in the same category of like, it's a good matchup, but what are you getting? So like, it's a mirror white, DeAndre swift against the Colts. The Colts can't stop the run at all. This team is getting demolished by running backs. Um, so it's like, I kind of put those two into the same category of like, you can play them and get 20, you can play them and get five.
00:33:35
Chilly
like any other running back scores to touchdowns. Um, I mean, you look at the Brown situation, like is it Donta Foreman? Is it Jerome Ford? Like, I mean, we've seen Donta Foreman go out and get three rushing touchdowns. No problem.
00:33:51
thedfsdeli
when he was with Carolina, right?
00:33:53
Chilly
Uh, no last year with the bears.
00:33:55
thedfsdeli
oh with the bay oh That's right. That's right.
00:33:56
Chilly
Yeah.
00:33:57
thedfsdeli
That's right. That's right.
00:33:57
Chilly
So, um, so again here, like,
00:33:58
thedfsdeli
That's right.
00:34:03
Chilly
Could those be fantastic plays? Yeah. Could they blow up? Yeah. like So those those are just those are weird those are weird guys to play for. i i don't know I don't know what to do with those guys. I'm just going to be completely honest.
00:34:17
thedfsdeli
I just like my running backs home and favored and they get inside the five yeah and playing the Panthers does, does help ah Baker.
00:34:22
Chilly
Playing the Panthers. but like point All you do is play the Panthers.
00:34:28
thedfsdeli
Where you at with the guys that tote the pill.
00:34:31
Baker
I mean I think there's just too many injuries right now to really try to narrow it down. Because if Tajie Spears is out in Tennessee, then Tony Pollard becomes a great play. ah Aaron Jones has some injury problems going on right now. So if for whatever reason he's out, Ty Chandler becomes an easy play. Joe Mixon was a little bit banged up, but we'll see kind of as the week continues to go on what's going to go on in Houston with that running game. So I think there's just too many questions right now and not enough answers for me to specifically try to figure out where I am in running back.
00:35:04
Baker
um
00:35:04
thedfsdeli
Which Rashad White has hurt too.
00:35:08
Baker
Add him to the list, you know, Bucky Irving becomes a freaking play.
00:35:09
thedfsdeli
yeah
00:35:11
Baker
um You know, now if you take the injuries away, you know, I think there are still some great plays. I think that if the Rams are going to have a shot um offensively, it's going to come through Kyron Williams.
00:35:23
Baker
When you talk about, you know, a team focus or an offenses is being focused through one individual guy. Kyron Williams is going to get the lion's share of the work here. So Kyron Williams, I think, has to still be in play, especially for the cash game bros. Which I'm not even sure what a cash game is sometimes.
00:35:44
thedfsdeli
Amen. Cash was easy last week. If you want to play it.
00:35:47
Baker
Yeah, you should you don't pay Jordan Mason.
00:35:48
Chilly
my My only fear with Kyron is like, if you're San Francisco, don't you just put 12 guys in the box?
00:35:49
Baker
He just moved the fuck on.
00:35:57
Baker
Oh, absolutely.
00:35:57
Chilly
I mean, even if Cooper Cup doesn't get hurt, the Cardinals had like three guys on them.
00:36:04
Baker
Yeah, the Cardinals literally made an effort like 23. We're like, we're not going to have what happened last year to us happen to us again.
00:36:10
Chilly
But I mean, like, I mean, they still, they I mean, they still took out Cooper Cup. ah If Cooper Cup stays in that game, I don't think he puts up the numbers.
00:36:15
Baker
Literally.
00:36:18
Chilly
That dude was bracketed all day before he got hurt.
00:36:22
Baker
Well, I think the biggest thing was the fact of you know I didn't really, like I knew of it, but I didn't really take it to heart that much, was you know four offensive linemen being out for them. These same offensive linemen have hit the IR. These guys aren't coming back this week. So you're going to have Nick Bosa and those boys pinning their ears back and coming. um Like I said, if the Rams have any shot, it's coming through Kyron though.
00:36:45
Chilly
I agree.
00:36:47
thedfsdeli
All right, can we um can we just talk about, you know, a guy that gets what 25 carries a game back to back under your performances back to back games.
00:36:52
Chilly
I'm talking about James Connor.
00:36:56
thedfsdeli
like We're talking about James Connor, like if everyone's gonna play Kyler, why are we not playing James Connor, people don't like to play James Connor.
00:37:03
thedfsdeli
I don't know why.
00:37:03
Baker
i actually have a reason for I actually have a reason for that.
00:37:03
Chilly
and dude for the fantasy The fantasy world hates James Connor.
00:37:07
thedfsdeli
Facts. But what's the reasoning, Baker?
00:37:10
Baker
No, I mean, this Detroit run defense is going to be no joke this year. And i get Arizona is going to try to run the ball under all circumstances. And what what it looks like so far is that they're going to be successful.
00:37:16
thedfsdeli
yeah on ball
00:37:20
Baker
I think this is going to be the maturation of you know the immovable force versus the unstoppable object. um You know, not enough attention was paid to the fact of DJ and reader coming to this defensive line this offseason and what that really means for a unit that was already really good. And we're seeing the impacts that it's having over in Cincinnati with their run defense being fucking Swiss cheese right now.
00:37:41
Baker
Like this, like these guys are getting after it up front and he's a huge clogger of the middle of the field and interior pressures and all that other fun stuff. So that's why that part of the run game isn't that indicative to me, but potentially or possibly the Detroit running game definitely sounds appetizing to me.
00:38:00
Baker
because when it comes to another team that's going to run the ball, you know, Detroit's going to establish it. um Now, picking one, have fun. Obviously, you have the passing upside versus the touchdown upside. I'm more inclined to take David Montgomery in this matchup, but I can be convinced of either one.
00:38:19
thedfsdeli
Are the Lions winning?
00:38:23
Baker
Yes.
00:38:23
thedfsdeli
Play David Montgomery.
00:38:24
Baker
Bingo.
00:38:25
thedfsdeli
Are the Lions losing?
00:38:27
Baker
No.
00:38:27
thedfsdeli
Play Jamir Gibbs. There you go. If you believe in the Cardinals, they're going to be trailing. Play Gibbs. If you believe that Detroit is still the Super Bowl contender, which I think they still are, but you know, it also a good team.
00:38:40
Chilly
That was still a good team.
00:38:43
thedfsdeli
No doubt about it.
00:38:44
Chilly
That was still a good team.
00:38:45
Chilly
I mean, Golf had a chance to win the game at the end.
00:38:45
thedfsdeli
They lost to a good team.
00:38:47
Chilly
They were in the red zone.
00:38:50
thedfsdeli
100%, 100%. But yeah, last week was just weird when it came to teams winning and losing. It was ah strange. Very, very strange.
00:39:00
Baker
And let the last running back that I'll bring up is, you know, we mentioned it off air on our own personal philosophy, but I kind of want to see, I'm, I'm curious to see where the field's going to kind of be going here. Obviously we just saw Alvin Kamara absolutely obliterate the slate. And now he, now that same run defense is going against the big dog, very different schemes, but it's going to be the notion that the Cowboys can't stop the run. And that's, you know, of all the things that supports media supports talk, you know, all the talking heads on the TV shows.
00:39:27
Baker
on the on the networks that have four letters and things of that nature. That's what they're talking about all week so far. So you know you think, okay, Baltimore must win. What are they going to do? They're going to establish it. They're going to get back to it.
00:39:38
Baker
They added this guy in the off season, that sort of thing.
00:39:38
Chilly
I think, I think and think if Baltimore wins, it's on the legs of Lamar Jackson.
00:39:41
Baker
That's going to be a lot of narrative behind it. So what is the the thought process behind the big dog?
00:39:50
Chilly
I think he would have to outrush Derek Henry.
00:39:56
Baker
I mean, I agree with you. I 1000% agree with you.
00:40:00
Chilly
Cause like the Cowboys do have a good run defense up the middle.
00:40:00
thedfsdeli
He will.
00:40:04
Chilly
They, they can't set the edge.
00:40:09
thedfsdeli
Fair. Good takes all around. Let's head over to our receiver. where I'm sure you've mentioned it, AJ Brown hurt, probably won't play in this one. So we got slimy slim as ah the number one option going against New Orleans.
Impact of Injuries on Team Dynamics
00:40:21
thedfsdeli
As I said, if you like this game environment, we definitely want to pick out some pieces from this game. um So I think Slim Reaper is probably going to be at the top of that discussion. C-Lam, banged up. Jay Jetta, banged up. Tyra Gold doesn't have a quarterback. So what, you know, there's that. Anyway, um sorry, wrong slate.
00:40:40
thedfsdeli
um It's a lot going on when it comes to the wide receiver position. And oh, by the way, side note, did you see it was like a compilation that I watched.
00:40:50
thedfsdeli
ah ah Was it Instagram that I saw? Maybe maybe it was Facebook doesn't matter. But how salty DJ more is.
00:41:02
Baker
Oh, just with his quarterback play?
00:41:02
thedfsdeli
I mean, yes, yes, I think Caleb Williams is kind of trash.
00:41:03
Baker
Yes.
00:41:06
thedfsdeli
I mean, like now, I think he still has time. Bryce Jung does not. But Caleb Williams still has time. But I think at this point, even with like the depressed price point, like guys like DJ Moore are kind of like unplayable right now. like As bad, as as juicy as those price tag looks on both sites, I just like can't ah can't force myself to want to do it, even though I feel like I should do it. Because we've seen DJ Moore break slates in half.
00:41:38
thedfsdeli
i mean This man has 50 point performance written all over him, but I don't know if it's going to come with Kayla Williams. So I'll stop talking about bad, not bad receivers, but bad quarterback play.
00:41:49
thedfsdeli
Let's talk about the good ones. So chill. I'll start with you on this one too.
00:41:54
Chilly
Yeah.
00:41:54
thedfsdeli
If you're going up top, you got to pay a little price for the wide receivers.
00:41:57
Chilly
OK.
00:41:59
thedfsdeli
Where are you starting at?
00:41:59
Chilly
OK. If I go to go up top um this week, probably one of my higher priced wide receivers this week is, is I mean, it's still probably going to be CD lamb.
00:42:18
Chilly
um I mean, we just watched the Bonta Adams.
00:42:22
Chilly
Kind of get a little saucy against this Baltimore defense. um you know what With the logic there being like, if you think Lamar is going to have a good game, CD-Lam's going to have to be having a good game on the other side. The the Cowboys basically have a non-existent running game. um I mean, guys like Jenna and CD-Lam got there last week, essentially on one play each.
00:42:48
Chilly
um so I mean, in terms of higher price, I do like those. I mean, I think personally, I'm going to stick more into this mid range this week. um I mean, like you said, I'm still not I'm still not completely dead on DJ more. The Bears offense does play pretty fast. So does the Colts. So do you think that game is going to have it's going to have a ah chance to shoot out um again, that would Barring Caleb Williams doing something which could be low percentage, but um I think my favorite my favorite wide receiver this week is just probably played Brandon Ayuk I Don't think we have to get too weird here I think I think Brandon Ayuk is probably my favorite wide receiver play on the slate you may end up being the chalk truthfully, but um We'll see that as ownership comes up, but I do like me some Ayuk this week
00:43:25
thedfsdeli
Yeah, yeah.
00:43:50
thedfsdeli
Yeah, like who else are they gonna throw to?
00:43:53
Chilly
Is you think Joanne Jennings would have higher ownership than I uke I Mean let me I just see if I could get I just want to look at his price So Joanne Jennings on draft Kings is 4100
00:44:00
thedfsdeli
Baker? I don't know.
00:44:02
Baker
i think I think a lot of ownership will go to Ayuk.
00:44:18
thedfsdeli
Hmm.
00:44:22
Chilly
And then...
00:44:22
Baker
Ayuk is $6,200.
00:44:27
thedfsdeli
That's not bad, man. It's not a bad price for your, your pseudo number one.
00:44:31
Chilly
And then on then on FanDuel, he's 5,200, Juwan Jennings.
00:44:32
Baker
Yeah.
00:44:38
thedfsdeli
That's not horrible.
00:44:40
Chilly
But Brandon Ayuk is also cheap on both sites.
00:44:40
thedfsdeli
That's not horrible.
00:44:43
Chilly
On FanDuel, he may be the free square at 6,500.
00:44:48
thedfsdeli
That is pretty cheap, bro. Is pretty cheap.
00:44:52
Baker
I mean, that's that but that's crazy cheap over there. That's crazy cheap.
00:44:55
Chilly
Well, they didn't they didn't you know, you don't get the numbers Mason for free over there I mean, I think you kind of mentioned it like Tyra kill is still intriguing because like Seattle plays Seattle plays to their competition So I don't think
00:45:01
thedfsdeli
Right? yeah You gotta pay for the numbers Mason. What do they mean?
00:45:09
thedfsdeli
but i
00:45:23
thedfsdeli
Yes they do. Yes they do.
00:45:25
Chilly
I mean, I don't think any ownership is gonna come in on Tyreke so like You just might treat him like how we treated Derek Henry back in the day if nobody's playing him And you just kind of you just throw him in there oh And then I again I like both of the Saints wide receivers Sully's cousin and
00:45:40
thedfsdeli
Yeah, eight there's nobody playing Tiger Hill this week. Nobody.
00:45:50
Chilly
Um, I do, I do like me some Rashid Shahid. Um, and I still like Chris Alave this week. Um, again, I do like me to saints offense that Eagles defense is horrendous.
00:46:04
thedfsdeli
Yeah, I think I think that that's what I've noticed a lot on several podcasts that I've listened to is that there a lot of people's number one regression candidate right now is Rashid Shahid and it's kind of disturbing because I would say just ride the wave while it's while it's high tide, you know what I'm saying? So um if we can get another another good game environment, which this is
00:46:27
thedfsdeli
Rashid, she eat is due for another 40 yard, 50 yard, 60 yard touchdown pass because two to three times a game. Derek Carr is eating it and Rashid's down there somewhere.
00:46:39
thedfsdeli
So I'm just saying this could be another week while he's still relatively inexpensive to play a guy like Rashid, she eat. And again, I like your take on a lot of it as well. A lot of it is going to do a lot of eight things at some point.
00:46:52
thedfsdeli
So could this be the week where we get the Chris alive a week?
00:46:54
Chilly
I mean, he he almost had a touchdown last week. I think he was short by a yard, which led to an Alva Camaro touchdown. So like he almost got in the box last week. So.
00:47:06
thedfsdeli
And this is bar, and this is barring too. If, if taste them Hill, it's hurt. If it tastes a bill, don't play. That's one weapon that they don't have to go to.
00:47:15
Chilly
I mean, web when the weapon X is down, you know.
00:47:15
thedfsdeli
So that's another reason why. Yeah. Yeah. Weapon X. I mean, if I got weapon X this week, I don't know what I'm gonna do, but a Baker, how are you feeling at Y receiver this week?
00:47:25
Baker
Well, first thing I want to say about Tyreek Hill is he there's no need to actually play him in my humble opinion, because it's a four o'clock game. He's a swap. You just swap to Tyreek Hill and you move on. If you know if you need to get to him, you don't need to actually build around them.
00:47:42
thedfsdeli
Tyreek Hill is an elite swap shin this week. That's what you're saying.
00:47:45
Baker
He is as that like the way the way that we that we ended up switch swapping to Jamar Chase off of ah Cooper Cup didn't work, but that was the swap.
00:47:54
thedfsdeli
That was swap.
00:47:56
Baker
Uh, I think, I think Tyra kills a swap this week.
00:47:57
Chilly
I mean, it may be possible that if there's not that much ownership, even a tirade goes off, it may not bury you.
00:48:08
Baker
Fact.
00:48:09
thedfsdeli
But if you are a Tyree kill owner, you could win one.
00:48:13
Chilly
It could bring you back from the dead. We can see that hand rise up.
00:48:18
thedfsdeli
Well, chill. Here's the thing. If I'm not playing any player from one o'clock, what do I need to swap?
00:48:25
Baker
yeah ah
00:48:28
Chilly
Well, Fandal, you got the prime time game.
00:48:31
thedfsdeli
You're right. So there's just options.
00:48:32
Chilly
well
00:48:35
Baker
Yes on your site, you know saying you're so you're swapping to I don't even like I don't even know what the Who are they playing?
00:48:40
thedfsdeli
Richie rice.
00:48:41
Chilly
Yeah.
00:48:41
thedfsdeli
Uh, yeah, you're just swabbing the chief.
00:48:45
Chilly
It's ah the Chiefs are at Atlanta.
00:48:47
Baker
Okay, cool don't care
00:48:50
thedfsdeli
Come on, man. There's elite options there. Drake, everyone's favorite tight end cow pits. Uh, there's a lot of, there's a lot of plays in the night game, which is why fan dual get rid of the king night game off your main slate. Sorry.
00:49:06
Baker
So Sully, I'm guessing you're load you're loading up the Curco doubles for the ah for your main slate. Got it.
00:49:12
thedfsdeli
Yeah, it's literally going to be Lamar.
00:49:17
thedfsdeli
Insert why receiver and then the Chiefs Falcons game. That's it.
00:49:21
Baker
Fair.
00:49:24
Baker
So you ain't got nothing.
00:49:24
thedfsdeli
I'm not do I'm not do I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not not not doing that.
00:49:25
Baker
to um I mean, I know you'll mention the fact of being on
00:49:30
thedfsdeli
Any who Baker continue.
00:49:36
Baker
One, Jared Goff. So I think Amun-Ra obviously is an obvious play. Once again, environment, the things, the stuff. Can Marvin Harrison continue what he did last week? I think his connection with Kyler only grows and that price is only going to grow as well. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I think one of my favorite plays right now is is actually Zae Flowers though. You know, through the first two weeks, quietest kept, he's been this team's number one pass catcher.
00:50:01
Baker
Like not just number one receiver, he's been the number one pass catcher targets, you know, area yards, downfield target, like all the things in the metrics of the other things that people say that I don't have the brain power to just rattle off the top of my head. He leads their team and all of that, you know, he, so he's, he's becoming that elite option in once again, an environment that could have some fireworks, this, that, and the other. And especially, especially if Derek Henry becomes popular, give me all the fucking life, the za flowers that I can you know handle.
00:50:30
Baker
You know, hand me my flowers while I'm still here, basically. like
00:50:33
thedfsdeli
So you're saying it's Lamar week.
00:50:37
Baker
I hate everything about you, just so you know, in case I haven't told you that 15 times while I've been on the show. Dumbass face.
00:50:48
thedfsdeli
I'm just so, I'm just so excited with Glee because you want to play safe flowers. That means that you're going to be playing Lamar.
00:50:48
Baker
ah
Focus on Wide Receivers and Tight Ends
00:50:57
Baker
or Zae Flowers will be a one-off play with Maya Marie Cooper and Deshaun Watson to him.
00:51:03
thedfsdeli
Lamar. yeah Lamar Jackson is the play of the slate.
00:51:12
Baker
But I mean, I think I think Amari Cooper might have it as a legit shot to absolutely pull it out of Kamara this week. I think Amari Cooper is your album, Kamara this week. That's how um confident I am in the play of one Amari Kupor, the future Hall of Fame or.
00:51:29
thedfsdeli
You won't find any disagreements from me, Baker. none whatsoever.
00:51:36
Baker
Especially with note with it when it looking like David and Jokus out, you know, it's ah just a more of a condensed ah Target share he was saying and once again, he's leading the Browns and everything including drops probably um so But i I mean the balls going his direction it's going in the direction of two so I'm i'm always gonna be a fan of that
00:51:48
thedfsdeli
Yeah, yeah, that that category to this is true. This is true. It's been dropping a few this year.
00:52:02
thedfsdeli
any interest in your boy, Jay Jetta.
00:52:06
Baker
I just need to see what's going on. like I saw conflicting reports today. ah One report said that he participated in a walkthrough. The other report said that he was a no-go in practice. So I'm not really sure which report to pay attention to.
00:52:20
Baker
ah But I always have interest in jets. you know
00:52:26
thedfsdeli
That's 100% fair. I respect that 100%. Um, you know what else is really good at football? Devontae Adams.
00:52:35
Baker
He is hashtag good at football.
00:52:36
thedfsdeli
You know who's bad at football?
00:52:38
Chilly
Panthers.
00:52:39
thedfsdeli
the the car that Yeah, yeah, that team.
00:52:41
Baker
I thought you were going to say JC horn.
00:52:43
thedfsdeli
No, oh no, Jay-Z horns kind of legit.
00:52:46
Baker
No, he's not. Even even Chills boy, Derek Carr called him out like, no, I got three touchdowns on you because that's what he did week one. Like, no, I got three on you, bro.
00:52:56
thedfsdeli
That's a great point. That's a great point. So yeah, Devontae Adams for sure. I'm going to say Adams.
00:53:05
Chilly
So probably add in, again, Probably just play DK Metcalf at this point.
00:53:11
thedfsdeli
JSN! JSN! JSN! DK is your big play guy, and JSN is your underneath guy. So if you want a bunch of catches, JSN, if you need that touchdown splash, TK Metcalf. Either way, we all I think we all like Geno Smith. You youre you like some Geno Smith too this week, right, Blake?
00:53:37
thedfsdeli
Okay, you should like some Geno Smith this week, Baker. You should, you should. He should be in your player pool. Alongside Lamar Jackson, the number one play on the slates this week, sir. Yes, yes. Did we miss anybody? Can we head over to tied in and spend 2.5 seconds there?
00:53:59
Chilly
I think tight end. It's only you only play two guys and you walk away.
00:54:08
Baker
I mean, I'm ready, I guess.
00:54:09
thedfsdeli
You play two guys at you played two guys that tied in?
00:54:12
Chilly
No, no, like I think there's only two options.
00:54:15
thedfsdeli
Oh, two options. Oh, oh, I got you.
00:54:16
Chilly
Yeah. All right.
00:54:16
thedfsdeli
I got you.
00:54:17
Chilly
Maybe ah maybe I'll give you three. I'll give you three.
00:54:23
thedfsdeli
Hit him with it. So Okay.
00:54:25
Chilly
Uh, I think your only options at tight end this week are George Kittle, Brock Bowers and Trey McBride. If you're not playing one of them, you're different. Move on.
00:54:39
thedfsdeli
Short and sweet. ah Baker.
00:54:42
Baker
I mean, I think I'd be remiss if I didn't throw Dallas go there and there just because of the loss of AJ Brown. Because no other receiver stepped up to say like, yeah, you can count on me to do something on Monday night.
00:54:57
thedfsdeli
Baker, what about your boys? Schoonmaker.
00:55:01
Baker
You got to see what's going on with.
00:55:03
thedfsdeli
Jake the snake.
00:55:03
Chilly
Jake the snake.
00:55:05
Baker
Yeah.
00:55:06
thedfsdeli
Yeah, that's fair. Could it be guys? Could it be? Oh, Mark Andrews week.
00:55:14
Baker
It could.
00:55:17
thedfsdeli
I mean, this guy's an elite tight end for Christ sakes.
00:55:18
Chilly
Could.
00:55:21
thedfsdeli
I get it. We haven't seen shit the first couple of weeks.
00:55:22
Chilly
Well, that's what people that's what people are saying about Travis Kelsey still.
00:55:30
Baker
I mean, the shirt that I'm wearing could be false. We don't know right now.
00:55:36
thedfsdeli
Yeah, but the only place you can play Travis Kelsey is here over here on FanDuel, so...
00:55:40
Chilly
Yeah, you got to worry about them. You playing them this week?
00:55:42
thedfsdeli
I ain't playing him this week.
00:55:43
Chilly
yeah
00:55:45
thedfsdeli
Because and the night shouldn't exist on FanDuel.
00:55:46
Baker
But he's an elite tied in, Sully.
00:55:54
Baker
Sully, you have to say it into the mic so they can hear you.
00:55:55
Chilly
Oh, they heard them.
00:55:56
Baker
Into the mic.
00:55:57
thedfsdeli
I'm yelling loud enough where the microphone's gonna pick me up.
00:56:03
Chilly
They heard them. They heard them.
00:56:06
thedfsdeli
Stupid Spandul and their stupid Ignite games. No, I'm not playing Travis Cozy this week, either. I think I 100% share the thoughts of Chill. It's you're playing one of those three or you're punting. But again, I'm gonna find some room for Mark Andrews and some Lamar stacks. I'm gonna do it. No one's gonna play him.
00:56:37
Chilly
Is Sam?
00:56:37
Baker
I mean, you're not wrong about that.
00:56:39
Chilly
I think that maybe the biggest discussion is probably is like Sam Laporta too expensive to play at the moment.
00:56:45
Baker
Yes.
00:56:46
thedfsdeli
100% 100% I mean this is this was a guy that was carried by his touchdowns last year anyway, so he's not a volume guy if you ain't getting the touchdowns Yeah, man, oh, oh jamo is breaking out a little bit.
00:57:01
Baker
And some of that volume's going over to Jamison right now.
00:57:08
thedfsdeli
So I 100% agree Alright, well, we're done with this bullshit position, right?
00:57:16
Chilly
Think so.
00:57:17
thedfsdeli
Cool defenses, uh, Vegas guys, guys, guys, guys.
00:57:21
Baker
Shitties.
00:57:23
Chilly
The 49ers.
00:57:27
Baker
So we just named three of the top four defenses.
00:57:31
thedfsdeli
I made a mistake at the beginning of the show. Oh my God. I forgot to mention that is the Malik Willis revenge game this week.
00:57:43
thedfsdeli
Play, play the Titans defense.
00:57:43
Baker
No. There you go. There you go.
00:57:48
Chilly
Everybody played the Colts defense and they ran the ball 40 times.
00:57:52
thedfsdeli
That's a fact. Titan's defense is like good.
00:57:56
Chilly
They have a very good defensive line. like i like Statistically, I think they're number one in the NFL as a defense. But yeah Will Lewis, he's on that Bryce Young trajectory.
00:58:05
thedfsdeli
But you know who's not really good?
00:58:08
thedfsdeli
Will Levis.
00:58:16
Chilly
it's
00:58:18
Baker
Nah, he really is on the Josh Rosen trajectory.
00:58:18
thedfsdeli
Yo.
00:58:20
Baker
Let's be real.
00:58:21
thedfsdeli
Yo, I thought, I thought watching Zach Wilson play football last year was bad. And then I watched Bryce Young play football and that was bad. Will Levis might be the worst quarterback I've ever seen.
00:58:39
Baker
Could you ah imagine being Ryan Tannehill sitting at home like, I lost my job to this dude?
00:58:43
thedfsdeli
Right?
00:58:45
Baker
That's what I lost my job to?
00:58:47
thedfsdeli
That's why I'm on the couch because of that.
00:58:49
Chilly
I think one more defense I'll throw out there. I'll probably throw the Bucks defense against Denver at home.
00:58:57
thedfsdeli
Oh yeah. Bo nix is trash too. Oh my God.
00:59:01
Chilly
Yeah, and on DraftKings, they're only 3K. They may be the chalk, but that's another just...
00:59:05
thedfsdeli
Oh, lock it in.
00:59:11
Chilly
He's not good right now.
00:59:13
thedfsdeli
Yeah. You, you, you might want to lock that in. You see where fan dual dude, man.
00:59:18
Chilly
The Vegas's defense is the most expensive.
00:59:19
thedfsdeli
Vegas is the most expensive.
00:59:23
Baker
As it should be, for good reason, for good fucking reason.
00:59:24
Chilly
That's insane.
00:59:35
thedfsdeli
I mean, Andy Dalton has to like provide some type of stability, right?
00:59:39
Baker
He doesn't, he don't, he don't.
00:59:41
thedfsdeli
We don't. Okay.
00:59:44
Chilly
So, um, I do have to ask and this will go against me and Baker But like if the Browns are still out with offensive lineman the Giants defense on FanDuel is only 3,300 So I do have to give that as an option for the people
00:59:58
thedfsdeli
You had me at Deshaun Watson.
01:00:02
thedfsdeli
you
01:00:06
Baker
I mean, I don't hate the option. You know, my nine to Sean Watson team. Sure. Why the fuck not?
01:00:12
thedfsdeli
Can we just play, can we just play Seattle against scholar Thompson?
01:00:17
Baker
It doesn't sound like the worst idea.
01:00:20
Chilly
So like I think what's intriguing about the dolphins is like he's getting an extended like he's getting the mini bye week to get ready. So like he may not be as bad. Only because they're coming off of the mini bye.
01:00:39
thedfsdeli
If they just, if they weren't playing in Seattle, I would, I would feel different.
01:00:44
Chilly
I agree. If it was at Miami, i I would agree. Obviously they got to travel all the way to the west coast. But like, uh, again, they do have the, uh, again, well, again, this is the same Seattle team at home that barely beat Bo Nicks.
01:00:51
thedfsdeli
Yeah. Seattle is a different beast.
01:01:02
thedfsdeli
They played out to their competition.
01:01:05
Chilly
They do like, and so like, I think, I think each conference has one. I think the Bengals played in their competition and I think the Seahawks played in their competition.
01:01:17
thedfsdeli
100% 100%. Okay, Baker, favorite stack of week three, what can the people glob on to from your takes?
Favorite Week Three Fantasy Stacks
01:01:29
Baker
I mean, I feel like if I didn't say what I've been screaming this entire show, I would just be a hypocrite at this point. So it's gonna be Deshaun Watson, it's gonna be Amari Cooper, and if I'm gonna double it, fingers fucking cross for the love of everything. Holy, help me if I actually double this with ah Jerry Judy.
01:01:46
Chilly
So can we can we address that it at the current state of football as it is now with passing being as low as it is? like Are you over, like are you reacting to the numbers? are you Are you still double stacking? Are you not double stacking? only I'm only looking at this from a peer statistic standpoint because the numbers obviously are just very low at the moment.
01:02:14
Baker
I mean, me personally, I never went by the numbers to begin with. If my, if my feeling or matchup or whatever I'm dictating is telling me that, yeah, this double stack should work, then yeah, I'll run a double.
01:02:25
Chilly
Well, because now, if we're saying that Deshaun Watson's not a great quarterback, like if it's an elite quarterback, I think they're worth doubling. like If it's Deshaun Watson, he's probably getting all of his numbers through a Mari Cooper.
01:02:41
Chilly
So like would he like would he be worth a double?
01:02:41
Baker
More than likely.
01:02:45
Chilly
Maybe it's just a case by case basis.
01:02:48
thedfsdeli
Was the millionaire maker team a Daniel Jones double or a single?
01:02:52
Baker
Single.
01:02:52
Chilly
Single.
01:02:53
thedfsdeli
Okay. Okay. I was just, I was just double checking.
01:02:56
Chilly
Yeah, it was ah Jones and Neighbors. like It's probably somebody who hit yes on the computer, because it gave them McBride and Harrison, too.
01:03:05
thedfsdeli
Oh, I hate that.
01:03:07
Chilly
And then, yeah I mean, the numbers Mason.
01:03:12
Baker
Well, the computer was going to generate you Jordan Mason unless you told the computer not to.
01:03:15
thedfsdeli
Not you, yeah, exactly, unless you X them out the player pool, you're getting Jordan Mason.
01:03:18
Chilly
yeah ah yeah But um again, I'm just kind of just tossing that out there. just Um, again, just maybe it just says, uh, something, something, there's something to think about.
01:03:31
Baker
I mean, ah for me on Deshaun Watson in this one particular, just going to depend on how the how the build goes. um I highly doubt I have any giants on the other end of it ah more than likely because the only two worth playing Malik neighbors and Devin Singletary.
01:03:46
Baker
um
01:03:47
Chilly
I think you're only playing, I think if you're stacking Watson, I think you need neighbors and that's fair.
01:03:52
Baker
I don't think I need neighbors. Because there's a great chance I run the Browns defense with it soon.
01:03:58
thedfsdeli
I was just about to say, why don't you just say bleep the giant side and the, and the shitty D yeah not Jordan Akins, bro.
01:04:03
Baker
Yeah, my initial builds for this week had those three Browns, the defense, Cooper, and Watson. So it wasn't a double with a Judy. And I just said, I don't care about the Giants.
01:04:16
Chilly
you don't want to play no jordan akekinns
01:04:19
Baker
No. No, I don't. Not even a little bit.
01:04:26
thedfsdeli
Come on. Obi scores this week just to say, ha, got him.
01:04:31
Baker
Clearly, I don't have the stones to do that, Joe.
01:04:36
thedfsdeli
That shirt, I might have to put a blur over that. Anywho, chill. Favorite stack of week three.
01:04:47
Chilly
Yeah. I mean, again, that Philadelphia defense is terrible. Um, so um I'm following bad defenses. Um, so I do like me the, the site side of it, whether, and I think you can, I think you can go Derek car, but Kamara and you can put in either one of the wide receivers. I don't think you have to go a lot of it here. I think she, he just fine. Um, and then, uh, the other stack I do like, um,
01:05:16
Chilly
I think Gardner Minshew to Devotee Adams, they're playing the Panthers. I mean, and and this is their first home game too. So um yeah, so they're going to be pretty hype.
01:05:27
thedfsdeli
All right, it'll be hype.
01:05:30
Chilly
Obviously coming off of a big win against Baltimore too, but so I do like Mr. Gardner Minshew. And then again, for me, it's going to depend on ownership, but Um, probably again, like it's going to depend what Anthony Richardson ownership is going to be.
01:05:46
Chilly
Obviously with him, you're literally dart throwing Colts wide receivers. I wish I could give you a better take than that, but like you're dart throwing like a, like maybe it's an ad nine Mitchell may get a ADR bomb or maybe pity city remembers he's still in the NFL.
01:05:56
thedfsdeli
That's fair.
01:06:07
thedfsdeli
His bank account remembers he's still in the NFL.
01:06:07
Baker
Well, and Josh down and Josh down just potentially supposed to come back this week just muddy mud muddy in the waters there so
01:06:15
thedfsdeli
The water wars. Yes, this is true. Well, we don't have to say what I need to say. oh you reiterate But you know, just Load up some Lamar Jackson this week Lamar.
01:06:30
thedfsdeli
And you know what? The funny thing is, even though he burn bless you, even though he burned me last week, I think I kind of like the Dakota side of that too.
01:06:32
Baker
and
01:06:40
thedfsdeli
I mean, the man, the the team and the Ravens just got carved up by Garner mint, like this is the $60 million dollars man here.
01:06:52
thedfsdeli
At home again, there's no way he comes out and puts up another dud, right?
01:06:58
Baker
Right.
01:06:59
thedfsdeli
Right?
01:07:02
thedfsdeli
Right? Anywho, Baker hit me with something bold before we get out of here.
01:07:09
Baker
i not not not I mean, it would it wouldn't be too bad if I just had a Mark Cooper, this, that and the other. I'll give you your one and two wide receivers for week three.
01:07:17
thedfsdeli
Jerry Judy and Mike.
01:07:19
thedfsdeli
yeah
01:07:19
Baker
Absolutely not.
01:07:23
Baker
Amari Cooper drops a 40 burger, Zae Flowers drops 35.
01:07:29
Chilly
Yeah.
01:07:31
thedfsdeli
This is a flowers week, okay? Bet, Baker, bet.
01:07:35
Baker
Hey, give me my flowers, bro. Give me my flowers.
01:07:37
thedfsdeli
Give him his flowers. Chill, bowl.
01:07:40
Chilly
Uh, I was going for a real life take and this, there's no bearing behind this, but I'm just getting, Miami's going to go into Seattle and win.
01:07:52
thedfsdeli
You're so cute. You're so cute. Seattle's going 3-0. Sorry. ah Lamar breaks the slate. I'm just gonna stick by it, gonna stand behind it. I like your Z flowers take, but Lamar over 250 through the air, over 100 on the ground, four total touchdowns. You're gonna need Lamar. Ravens get their first win. Cowboys are in shambles.
01:08:24
thedfsdeli
There you go. That's the take. That's the show. Make sure you hit the like and subscribe on the way out for Baker for chill. This has been your boy Sully and we are out of here. Why don't you, why don't you turn off the grills, man? Cause I think it's that time we're going to go ahead and head out of here. We'll see y'all at the top.
