Sully Shaheed
Week 15, I think, is upon us, and we here are back fresh off bye week from the DFS Deli, but we are back in the shop tonight to talk to you about everything that is related to the main slate of games on Sunday. So, turn those open signs, kick back, relax, grab a menu and your favorite beverage, because this is the Week 15 edition of the DFS Deli.
00:00:23
Sully Shaheed
Let's get it.
00:00:39
Sully Shaheed
a And welcome in to the DFS Deli. I, of course, am the proprietor of this delicatessen, Sully Ali Shahid. And I am joined tonight, Baker Chili, fresh off the bye. Welcome back to work. I appreciate you joining me on an earlier session that we normally do. It is still a fine, chilly, snowy, windy night in the greater Ohio area for us.
00:01:01
Sully Shaheed
But we are back in the shop to talk week 15. we are fresh off of what's been... Some weird weeks, 14 and 13 respectively, but this week I think we've got a pretty decent slate to talk about. So Baker, how was your week 14? How was your trip?
Week 14 Recap and Internet Woes
00:01:19
Sully Shaheed
How's life? how How's everything going? The people need to know.
00:01:22
Baker
Well, obviously, you see I'm back in my normal confines back here in the greater Ohio area. I enjoyed my time in California. The the family out there in California, they were fantastic.
00:01:36
Chilly
Yeah, you got way worse internet in the greater Ohio area.
00:01:43
Baker
But yeah, I'm happy to be back. You know, my my ah my mug today tells you how I feel about just things in general. That's how i felt about last week's slate. And yeah, ready to do this damn thing.
00:01:54
Sully Shaheed
Chili man, welcome back. how ah how How week 14 treats you? Did it treat you like like the rest of us at home?
00:02:03
Chilly
I mean, 14 wasn't too bad. um Honestly, cashed a lot on my afternoon only slates. um So honestly, that plus some other things with you know in the parlay, um it's actually pretty profitable week for me. So um if I would have played Blake Corum over Kyle Menunga, I would have won another GPP, but that's neither here or there, but Let's get ready to dive on
DFS Strategy and Player Picks
00:02:33
Chilly
in into week 15. It's...
00:02:35
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, I tilt entered the afternoon only slate, and I played Blake Corum. Unfortunately, I didn't play the chalk in Michael Wilson because I wanted to get cute and different. I was going for number one, but Michael Wilson did Michael Wilson things, apparently.
00:02:52
Chilly
When you play an afternoon-only slate, you just play the chalk guy because even if he fails, you can still win. i know in my afternoon-only contest on FanDuel, he was 77.5% owned. You. It's pretty
00:03:06
Sully Shaheed
Well, guess who was a part of that 33% roughly?
00:03:11
Sully Shaheed
this guy but hey man we made a run at it you know still i think i finished 17th without michael wilson so with michael wilson it's an easy win so uh it was luther burden that let me down so make that 1v1 swap we would have been good but the main slate was just wolf i mean when your optimal quarterbacks are shadora sanders and um tyler sch shuck you know something's going on with the slate so
00:03:17
Chilly
It's pretty good. it's pretty good
00:03:36
Sully Shaheed
We're just going to do better this week, boys. We're just going to do better.
Celebrating Wins and Respecting Injuries
00:03:39
Sully Shaheed
But on an unrelated note, we did finally hit the deli parlay. The one time we don't come online and let the people know the picks.
00:03:50
Sully Shaheed
We hit the six-legger, boys. The hot 10 turned into $850 roughly. um Chili, you got a little pensive and put it five on it, so you got half of what Baker and got.
00:04:02
Chilly
that's that's That's what was left on the account. That's what went in.
00:04:06
Sully Shaheed
You know what? Respect. Respect. But we got more on the account this week because we hit the parlay. We prayed for the parlay. We hit the parlay. RJ Harvey punching it in for us.
00:04:18
Sully Shaheed
Got it done, baby. So we're going to try to ride that momentum into what is looking like, again, a fun week 15 slate. But first, of course, if you don't know what we do here on the DFS Deli, we break down position by position. Our favorite plays, quarterback, running back, receiver, quarterback. tight end and of course two seconds on defense and then we pick our favorite stacks maybe get some ideas for the parlay but i think because i'm available this weekend we're gonna jump back on for our secondary show the contrarian show the secret menu to get some more takes as we enter our final descent into week 15 but first you know what we must do
00:05:01
Sully Shaheed
If you're driving, listening at home, at work, got your favorite podcast on, which of course is the DFS Deli. I need you do one thing right now, and that is grab your favorite beverage, whether it's water for me in this case, because my kids are over there. I got watch my kids. Got to be responsible. um Wine, liquor, whatever the case is, let us raise the glass for the fallen in week 14.
00:05:26
Sully Shaheed
fourteen This is an extensive list, boys. but We're going to get through it.
00:05:34
Sully Shaheed

Debates on 'Dusty' Players
00:06:38
Sully Shaheed
boys. Philip Rivers is back.
00:06:42
Chilly
And speak where we'll segue right into the dust bus, and Phillip Rivers going get right on the bus.
00:06:49
Baker
Absolutely not. No.
00:06:51
Chilly
Phillip Rivers is immediately rushed on, rushed onto the dust bus.
00:06:58
Chilly
The last time this man played football, he was in Zoom meetings. Okay? Zoom meetings.
00:07:07
Baker
now you're just hating. Now you're just hating on old men.
00:07:09
Chilly
I'm speaking the truth. that I'm not hating. I speak the truth.
00:07:12
Baker
the To immediately put this man on this bus, that's just hating.
00:07:16
Chilly
Are you going to play Phillip Rivers this week?
00:07:18
Baker
Who knows? I do dumb shit every week.
00:07:19
Chilly
No, no, no. Defend your boy. de Defend him.
00:07:22
Baker
I do dumb shit every week.
00:07:23
Chilly
Defend him. Spend your hard-earned American dollars on Phillip Rivers in fucking Seattle. We've seen this story before.
00:07:34
Chilly
Seattle's defense should be the goddamn chalk. You're to find the salary for it. I bet.
00:07:41
Chilly
We saw what happened with the bro.
00:07:46
Sully Shaheed
Leave Max Prosper's name out your mouth.
00:07:50
Baker
Well, the bro's not a future Hall of Famer like Phillip Rivers is, okay?
00:07:54
Chilly
I don't, first of all, I don't think Phillip Rivers gets into the hall of fame, but that's, that's a whole different, that's a whole different topic.
00:08:01
Sully Shaheed
Right, yeah, that's a whole different debate.
00:08:04
Baker
Well, now with coming back this year, we have another five years to wait, damn it.
00:08:08
Chilly
Right? um Oh, and at this point, until – I mean, we will probably play him this week, but until he has some game-breaking performance, Derrick Henry's ass is on the bus. 25 carries, 94 yards in your fucking month. You couldn't crack 100.
00:08:30
Chilly
You got a cupcake matchup. Go earn your way off the dust bus. Derrick Henry is on the bus.
00:08:38
Sully Shaheed
Listen, Chili, I don't know if it was us, but, um and obviously didn't correct me if I'm wrong, may I nominate, if he's not already on it, Travis Kelsey.
00:08:50
Chilly
Oh, no. That's a good one.
00:08:51
Baker
No, no, he does not belong there.
00:08:51
Chilly
That's a... Hey, hear it.
00:08:55
Baker
No, he does belong there.
00:08:55
Sully Shaheed
Brother, brother, brother, did you watch the damn game?
00:08:59
Sully Shaheed
Did you watch that last game? He literally cost Patrick Mahomes two interceptions because he can't it anymore.
00:09:04
Chilly
Baker, baker him at him and him and Rice combined for nine drops, just between those two.
00:09:05
Sully Shaheed
The boy's bad.
00:09:12
Baker
I'm not saying that he didn't have a bad game. I'm saying that one bad game does not belong the man on this bus.
00:09:19
Sully Shaheed
brother Because he's not there.
00:09:20
Chilly
baker Baker, how many times have you touted Travis Kelsey on this show or played him in any of your fantasy lineups?
00:09:29
Baker
I played him Thanksgiving.
00:09:31
Chilly
Nope, nope, nope. What's that? That don't count. That don't count.
00:09:37
Baker
I want to say, if like without looking back through all my lineups, I played him once this year outside of Thanksgiving.
00:09:45
Baker
On the season, Travis Kelsey, and i am I am one of the bigger Travis Kelsey haters. He is literally tight in two or three on the season.
00:09:52
Chilly
you He can literally earn his way off the bus bank. How about that?
00:09:56
Baker
He doesn't belong there to begin with. That's my point.
00:09:59
Baker
One bad game, and because he's old?
00:10:03
Sully Shaheed
Ha ha ha ha
00:10:04
Baker
like You were just on a rampage today.
00:10:06
Chilly
Just for him on the bus, I'll load up some T-Swift on the old Spotify. He can enjoy his fiancée while his dusty ass is on the bus talking to Phillip Rivers. Phillip Rivers didn't even get a chance, mate. He didn't even get chance. Phillip Rivers is like, what the fuck is this?
00:10:23
Baker
Well, first of all, he doesn't cuss. Phillip Rivers does not cuss. He would say, what the frick is this?
00:10:27
Chilly
um't give I don't give a damn what Phillip Rivers and his 27 children do they're there He can get on the bus with his kids.
00:10:34
Baker
Grandpa Rivers. This is Grandpa Rivers. I put some respect on the name.
00:10:38
Baker
And he's a grandfather.
00:10:40
Baker
Literally a grandfather.
00:10:41
Chilly
Dust. This man is...
00:10:44
Baker
But like like like this this level of hatred that we're starting this show off with is absurd.
00:10:48
Chilly
It's not hatred. It's not hatred.
00:10:50
Chilly
These are facts, man.
00:10:51
Sully Shaheed
It's facts.
00:10:52
Chilly
This is facts. This is facts.
00:10:55
Sully Shaheed
Hey, listen, man. Like, as far as, you know, facts for this bus, like, I've i've tried. Like, Geno Smith is one of my favorite quarterbacks of all time. That man is dusty. It's over.
00:11:05
Sully Shaheed
so I just got to admit it. And it's about time you admit that Travis Kelsey's done. It's over.
00:11:10
Baker
I'm not even a Travis Kelsey fan.
00:11:10
Sully Shaheed
over. It's over.
00:11:12
Baker
That's the fucked up part.
00:11:13
Sully Shaheed
It's over. That boy, Dusty.
00:11:19
Sully Shaheed
Nine drops, dude, between two players.
00:11:22
Sully Shaheed
He cost him that game. Like, period. Period.
00:11:25
Sully Shaheed
Because he can't catch it anymore.
00:11:27
Chilly
I mean, speaking of nine, we might as well load up nine on the bus as well before his career even gets started.
00:11:35
Sully Shaheed
No, no, no. We've already established that prerequisite to be on the bus is that you had to be good at some point. He ain't been good at some point.
00:11:42
Baker
He's a national champion.
00:11:44
Baker
What are you talking about?
00:11:46
Chilly
It depends we're... We could peak the college accolades................
00:11:50
Sully Shaheed
Hey, listen, i guess that i guess that's ah I guess that's a good segue into you know the quarterback position because we're going to start talking about those because nine might be on the menu.
00:12:01
Baker
He's not on the main slate. and doing I have played him.
00:12:02
Sully Shaheed
I wanted him to be because he's got a cupcake matchup with the freaking Cowboys. Oh, my gosh.
00:12:06
Baker
I promise you I would have played that man and hated every second of it.
00:12:09
Sully Shaheed
Without question. Without question. But, I mean, we can talk about ah some of the guys that are on the main
Quarterback Strategies for Week 15
00:12:16
Sully Shaheed
slate. Like I said, we go – Everything that's gonna be from one o'clock to four o'clock for your seven hours of sometimes commercials, sometimes not.
00:12:26
Chilly
Four minute of ads. Football.
00:12:30
Sully Shaheed
And sometimes football.
00:12:33
Baker
Can i say something about that real quick? Just little.
00:12:34
Sully Shaheed
Oh yeah, sure, yeah.
00:12:35
Baker
So I had this side conversation this past week. So like the red zone, literally.
00:12:42
Sully Shaheed
Uh-oh, uh-oh, Baker's doing what the Red Zone channel did.
00:12:42
Chilly
but secret but but Oh, that was so bad. Baker, when you come back alive, we'll let you top that. Actually, one more nominee at this point for the Dust Bus. Dust Bus is trying to put on two like really good quarterbacks. At this point, Lamar Jackson.
00:13:02
Baker
No, no, absolutely not. Absolutely not.
00:13:13
Chilly
Baker, can the dust They can retry to get gun. The dust bus is fluid. Yeah. they can really try to get again the dust bus is fluid
00:13:24
Sully Shaheed
it is And the dust bus is merciful as well. It lets people off.
00:13:28
Sully Shaheed
It lets people take an honorary like a walk off to get some fresh air. Like Alva Kamara tried to a couple weeks ago. And then he got little hurt taking that one step down.
00:13:37
Sully Shaheed
And he had to go right back on.
00:13:40
Chilly
but right Like I said, we we'll see you know We'll see by the time Week 18 rolls around. those two Those two boys might be on the bus, babe. They might be on the bus.
00:13:50
Chilly
The city of Philadelphia literally wants Jalen Hurts benched.
00:13:54
Baker
The city of Philadelphia is a bunch of haters!
00:13:55
Chilly
it It was literally in the front of their paper.
00:13:57
Sully Shaheed
They are, big time. they're They're haters. There's no doubt about
00:14:01
Chilly
But before you turn C-3PO, you want
00:14:05
Chilly
you want to You want to tout your red zone take here?
00:14:09
Baker
No, cause I'm just sick of you already. ah Like, I feel like today's show is just going be me going at you. All the show. I don't even want to talk about the other nonsense I was going to talk about.
00:14:18
Baker
I just want go at you right now.
00:14:20
Chilly
Well, we'll let Sully get into the quarterback position and we can fight it up.
00:14:25
Sully Shaheed
I just thought, Baker, you're going to mention the, what, like 20 minutes of pure static that was the Red Zone channel for like the first. I was like, what the hell?
00:14:36
Sully Shaheed
I'm over here resetting routers. I'm changing TVs.
00:14:39
Sully Shaheed
I'm bringing it up on my phone. I'm like, what the fuck?
00:14:42
Chilly
I literally thought our TV busted. I'm like, well, that sucks. And then I just channeled down, and it was fine. I'm like, nope, it's the red zone. And then you know where you check all your news information? X.
00:14:53
Chilly
And everybody on X would just post in status of GIFs, just static.
00:15:00
Chilly
effect i i looked i looked i looked at my brother.
00:15:04
Chilly
I said, it ain't us. I just watched...
00:15:06
Sully Shaheed
Good, good, because I was tripping too. like i was tripping. like What the is this?
00:15:10
Chilly
That was probably, yeah.
00:15:11
Baker
flipped all flipped all the way the fuck out. I'm like, like you freak y'all, it's changing everything, resetting everything. I'm like, what's going on?
00:15:17
Baker
Oh my God, I done messed up my brand new TV in my living room. Ah!
00:15:22
Sully Shaheed
Adjusting stuff. Damn you, Red Zone.
00:15:24
Chilly
Yeah, yeah, you know, put it on the Browns-Titans game and watch Tony Pollard bust that ass.
00:15:30
Baker
Let's not go there.
00:15:30
Sully Shaheed
That he did.
00:15:30
Baker
We're not going there.
00:15:32
Sully Shaheed
That he did. That he did. Um, yeah, let's talk about it, man. Quarterbacks. Um, I mean, I don't have, i got a nice inclination on where I want to go on the slate because we have a couple of quarterbacks in the same game in the revenge game.
00:15:46
Sully Shaheed
Um, that's got one of the higher point totals on the board, but will you go there? Chill? I'll start with you. Where are we thinking about starting at the quarterback position?
00:15:56
Chilly
Well, I mean, the most popular game on the slate this week will be that Detroit-LA game. um Both quarterbacks are probably going to be viable in that game. ah Stafford and Goff.
00:16:09
Chilly
It's a very expensive game to stack. um It's very expensive. So I think some of the cheaper guys are probably going to be a little bit more chalkier than normal. Yeah.
00:16:21
Chilly
I don't know. Again, but based on the way I play fantasy football, I get to avoid it for half the day. so um so I mean, it's going to be tough.
00:16:30
Sully Shaheed
It's true. room
00:16:32
Chilly
I mean, like, obviously, Stafford is the premium double. The way to attack this Lions team is through the air. um Although L.A. does want to try to establish it on the run. Goff.
00:16:44
Chilly
I figured that Jamison Williams is probably going to be chalky. I'd be, I would be really surprised if he's not, I mean, he's really cheap. um The Rams do have a pretty good corner who will probably stick with the sun guy at this point. So, and the Rams do a really good job against the run. So it, again here, I think both quarterbacks are obviously pretty, pretty viable and, you know, the, and it's in a dome. So no weather concerns, none of that nonsense. And,
00:17:12
Chilly
um I mean, it's an absolute must-win game for Detroit. Yeah, yeah
00:17:18
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, 100%. um What do we think about um a guy that you just nominated for the bus? And i have Baker defend him. Jalen Hurts gets the Raiders.
00:17:28
Sully Shaheed
If there's any get right spot, it's probably here, right, Baker?
00:17:33
Baker
Though I was defending Jalen Hurts, it's not really a spot that I'm interested in going for fantasy just because I don't...
00:17:38
Chilly
I'm interested. I'm interested.
00:17:41
Baker
You nominate him, then you're just playing him. The fuck's going on here?
00:17:43
Chilly
Yeah, just like just like I nominated Derrick Henry, and guess who's going to get stuck with Derrick Henry because he plays the Bengals.
00:17:50
Chilly
we'll We'll capture that in the next segment.
00:17:53
Baker
But, I mean, for Jalen Hurts at his price tag, he's like his price tag hasn't come down enough. for me to really consider this. Give me a few extra dollars, I get to Josh Allen. Give me a few more dollars, I get to Pat Stafford. I go down a few dollars, I get to Drake May. Go down a few dollars, I can get to Joe Burrow. And then you have Lamar Jackson at the cheapest we've seen him in the last five years.
00:18:14
Baker
So yeah, in a game in which um I don't think the Raiders can push the Eagles. So I don't think there's going to be an oh shit factor for Jalen Hurts to for him to really reach it unless he just happens to, you know, tush push his way into the end zone three times. It's not really a spot on interesting going. So.
00:18:31
Chilly
So would you – now let me push this narrative. Do you think that the offense will play more because they want to try to divulge from the narrative that they suck?
00:18:44
Chilly
That, like, the offense is going to play more and score more to basically get everybody off of Jalen Hurts' his case? Because I don't think Nick Sirianni cares about running up the score or not.
00:18:57
Baker
I don't think he does either.
00:18:57
Sully Shaheed
I don't think he can. That team sucks.
00:19:02
Chilly
I mean, that's true, too.
00:19:02
Sully Shaheed
That team's bad.
00:19:04
Chilly
But, I mean, too, like I think the Raiders can kind of keep it within within reason, too. I mean, we'll get we'll get to some of the Raiders stuff here in a minute. But don't forget, the rate they'll rate it the Raiders do have the Kenny Pickett revenge game.
00:19:14
Baker
you think? In the revenge game?
00:19:22
Sully Shaheed
You are so right.
00:19:25
Sully Shaheed
This is your former, you know, Super Bowl champion, Kenny Pickett, going against his former team. That is a great point, Chili.
00:19:36
Sully Shaheed
The revenge dagger, he gets to stick it to the damn Eagles this week. Could you imagine? Could you imagine? I might play Kenny Pickett this week, boys. I'm not going to lie.
00:19:50
Chilly
ah Don't burn your money like that. It's Christmas. Don't burn your money like that.
00:19:54
Sully Shaheed
Brother, remember, we hit the parlay.
00:19:58
Sully Shaheed
Christmas money secured. Now it's just, I can burn, you know, a $33 lineup on Kenny Pickett and not worry about it. Because we prayed for the parlay.
00:20:09
Sully Shaheed
How much is Kenny Pickett?
00:20:11
Chilly
Hey, since you play on FanDuel, Gentty is only like $6,300, by the It's cheap.
00:20:19
Sully Shaheed
Brother, just listen, listen, listen. Hear me out.
00:20:22
Sully Shaheed
Hear me out. Hear me out. Hear me out. Hear me out. Imagine if you run Kenny Pickett, Brock Bowers, and insert X receiver, all right, and you and you don't you don't even have to run it back with Saquon.
00:20:36
Sully Shaheed
You could still get into the Lions game. You could still make it because Kenny Pickett costs you nothing.
00:20:40
Chilly
you can you can hit you you could probably stack the You could probably stack the Rams wide receivers.
00:20:47
Sully Shaheed
That's what I'm saying. Like, no one's going to play Brock Bowers. We'll get there, but no one's going to play Brock.
00:20:53
Sully Shaheed
I'm just saying. No, that's a Saturday thing. No, that's Saturday thing. Excuse me. No kidney picket takes.
00:20:58
Sully Shaheed
Let's talk about good quarterbacks.
00:21:00
Chilly
I mean, by unrelated note, if you do just put Gentry in there in your Raiders stuff, like I said, Gentry on FanDuel is 6,300.
00:21:09
Chilly
It literally makes everything else fit.
00:21:11
Sully Shaheed
They're begging you to play them. Begging you. Like, come on, man.
00:21:16
Chilly
Definitely. I mean, he's cheap on DraftKings, too, but...
00:21:19
Sully Shaheed
Give it to me. Baker, who else is on your list, man?
00:21:24
Baker
Well, I mentioned him. Oh, Lord Jesus.
00:21:28
Sully Shaheed
This dude with his freaking internet.
00:21:31
Sully Shaheed
We got to catch him in pockets.
00:21:33
Chilly
but When he won the screen...
00:21:34
Sully Shaheed
like Just pockets. if i If I see his screen is clear, I'll like, all right, Baker, go, go, go, go.
00:21:41
Chilly
Go back to California.
00:21:45
Chilly
who like We got to get Steph to do the can do the pod.
00:21:51
Sully Shaheed
trying to stream off his phone's 5G.
00:21:56
Sully Shaheed
Oh yeah, this will be fine. i just We're good, right? We're good, right?
00:21:59
Chilly
It's trying it's it du isr so much to clear. um i mean, just taking a look here at a couple of different things. um I mean, right now, i did get some ownership stuff.
Key Quarterback Picks: Allen and Jackson
00:22:12
Chilly
Baker, are you clear?
00:22:16
Chilly
You may want to try and speak.
00:22:18
Sully Shaheed
Right, you're moving fluently. Go, go, go, go, go.
00:22:19
Sully Shaheed
go go go go
00:22:22
Baker
but So last week we saw JA-17 have to go into, you know, super Josh mode, and that's what it takes for the Bills to win these games. So i think the theory, at least in playing Josh Allen, is do the Patriots push him to have to go into super Josh mode?
00:22:37
Baker
I say yes, which is why he would be in my pool of quarterbacks this week, because we know when he goes super Josh, he's dropping 40 easily. easily He's dropping 30 to 40. um In that same thought process, I mentioned the fact that Lamar Jackson is as cheap as like I can honestly remember seeing him. $6,400 for Lamar Jackson?
00:22:56
Baker
I'm willing to roll that. I'm willing to roll that.
00:22:57
Chilly
It's probably still too much.
00:22:59
Sully Shaheed
Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:23:00
Chilly
I like Lamar, so I definitely agree with you what you're stating, so.
00:23:07
Baker
But um I understand Cincinnati, you know, Theoretically has a decent pass defense. At least they have one decent corner or one good corner. But Lamar Jackson at that price tag, I'm fine loading that up. And Joe Burrow on the other side, that's a game that I'm this heavy on my list of games to target. um So many games in the Cincinnati Baltimore rivalry has turned into shootouts where if you had to have that game. So I'm going to put a flag in that game and say, I said it for, was it Thanksgiving? It didn't end up happening, but I'm going back to it again this week.
00:23:39
Chilly
It could have happened. Well, the Cincinnati side, they were in the red zone like seven times and just couldn't get touchdowns.
00:23:47
Chilly
And, like, the Ravens turned the ball over eight million times. Plus, like, I think Lamar is more comfortable running. In that Pittsburgh game, he did run more. um So he may actually be more comfortable running.
00:24:01
Chilly
um And as we just saw that Josh Allen absolutely destroyed Cincinnati with his legs. So...
00:24:07
Chilly
um Lamar, you know, he may more. Yeah.
00:24:14
Sully Shaheed
I'm just going to take the Burrow side of this. um Let me get, let me get Joe Burrow. Cause I mean, he, he scorched them in there in his first game back off injury. And now he gets them at home with a narrow target tree because he won't have T Higgins most likely this week. So your stack gets significantly cheaper, even though chase is still an expensive piece, but like throwing the sickie with that, run it back with, you know, our King, because you know, this is probably his last opportunity to get right.
00:24:38
Sully Shaheed
um And then do whatever you want with the rest of your lineup. And Joe Burrow is going less owned too. because I think they want this Lamar game to happen because it's Cincinnati. But Joe Burrow was cooking, man. I mean, like, take away that Christian Benford interception, which was a hell of a play.
00:24:53
Sully Shaheed
I mean, he rips the Bills last week in the snow.
00:24:57
Sully Shaheed
So it's just like, Joe Burrow.
00:24:57
Chilly
I mean, if you take away both both of the interceptions were a really good plays on behalf of the Bills' defense. like Like, they were both really good.
00:25:07
Chilly
A couple other guys I'm looking here. i mean, right now it appears to me Jackson Dart looks to be the chalk um going up against Washington.
00:25:15
Chilly
Yeah, i it I just don't know how much he's going to run. um And also, I don't know who's playing quarterback for the commanders, but I'm playing that guy.
00:25:26
Chilly
Whether it's – I don't know if Daniels is going to play or not play.
00:25:32
Chilly
Then, yeah, give me – yeah.
00:25:33
Sully Shaheed
It'll be out. Yeah.
00:25:35
Chilly
um Like you said, especially if you're trying to get into, you know, that Detroit-LA game, Marcus Mariota's 5K. I think Terry McLaurin's 5,300. It's the Giants.
00:25:48
Chilly
um And Jackson Dart may be able to push it, – Again, I do like Mariota this week. um Two other guys that I'll mention. um What do you all want to do?
00:26:00
Chilly
So two other quarterbacks that are interesting would be CJ Shroud and Brock Purdy.
00:26:06
Sully Shaheed
We just got too many good options this week, man. I think that we don't have to go that way um because I think we just got too many in nut matchups.
00:26:13
Chilly
I don't think it's... I get that, but like at the same time, CJ Stroud's only 5,200 going up against the Cardinals.
00:26:25
Sully Shaheed
I'm here for that. i mean that's and it's ah And it's a great pivot off Woody Marks because he'll be chalky.
00:26:30
Chilly
I mean, you could, you could probably just play him with Woody Marks, truthfully, maybe on DraftKings at least.
00:26:34
Sully Shaheed
like Just like the Hurt Business is a good pivot off Saquon. So, I mean.
00:26:38
Chilly
Um, but yeah, I mean, there's, there's that. Um, And then, like I said, I like Jalen Hurts this week going up against the Raiders. I just like the Eagles offense. still I believe Philly's at home too.
00:26:53
Chilly
um they So they they need to they need to do something.
00:26:58
Chilly
mean, the Raiders are the ultimate get right spot. I think Denver could have absolutely blown out the Raiders last week. I think they were literally just trying to win the game and get out of there without anybody getting injured.
00:27:09
Chilly
Yeah. That's why that game, like, that game was like a seven-point game, but it was never close. I watched the majority of that game. It was, it never once felt like the Raiders had a chance, so, like said, the Raiders are just the ultimate get-right spot. um And then, like, one other guy who's kind of cooking, like, I don't know how, like, Trevor Lawrence isn't coming in too chalky, and at this point, like, his stacking options are pretty much Jacoby Myers and
00:27:40
Chilly
Strange. Jets suck.
00:27:43
Sully Shaheed
Fuck Trevor Lawrence.
00:27:44
Chilly
He had a good game last week. I mean, jacob might Jacoby Myers essentially became Travis Hunter, so...
00:27:46
Sully Shaheed
Fuck Trevor Lawrence.
00:27:51
Sully Shaheed
Yep. Baker, we miss anybody before we hit these running backs because we got some tough choices to make. Stop it. It is going to be negative 17 degree wind chill. Like I am not no one.
00:28:02
Sully Shaheed
There will be no Browns or Bears in any lineup across any DFS period.
00:28:03
Chilly
Shador, Shador! Shador!
00:28:08
Sully Shaheed
No, no. Thank you.
00:28:10
Baker
So since I'm not in Cleveland anymore, i didn't I don't have the boots on the ground to know what the weather's like there anymore. or are they playing in Chicago?
00:28:16
Sully Shaheed
They're in Chicago.
00:28:17
Baker
Oh, well, I'm not in Chicago either, so I don't know what the boots on the ground is.
00:28:17
Chilly
They're in Chicago. Yeah.
00:28:21
Baker
I just look at the matchup. I was just looking at the matchup.
00:28:23
Sully Shaheed
No, it's literally going to be feels like negative 17 on Sunday.
00:28:27
Baker
Oh, that sounds terrible. So that means I should probably not play Shador Sanders. Cool.
00:28:32
Sully Shaheed
Correct. So, I mean, like, we can get into running backs now because, like, I feel that that's going to be an all-running game, and you know the Bears want to establish it. And we just saw the Browns get absolutely eviscerated by Tony Pollard.
00:28:44
Sully Shaheed
Yes, 100-plus of his yards were on two runs, but... Who cares? We got to get there somehow. So I think Swift and Mungi are on the table if you want to get in that gross game one way or another. um But that's really all I feel about the Bears, guys. um But our pricier guys, I mean, CMC, nut matchup.
00:29:06
Sully Shaheed
Our king, nut matchup. Jameer Gibbs is just Jameer Gibbs. So you really don't have to say anything more about that. um Baker, where you started at the high end, man? Because we got some tough choices this week.
00:29:18
Chilly
I mean, at as go to say just at this point, are you playing Gibbs or CMC, right?
00:29:23
Chilly
And like that's what you're really trying to figure out.
00:29:26
Sully Shaheed
Well, I mean, they both play at four. So, I mean, like, put one in the flex if you're going to use one or the other and then kind of rotate from there. if Whatever your lineup's doing at one. If you're doing main slate. I know you're an afternoon only and late. I get it.
00:29:37
Sully Shaheed
But for us main slaters. ah
00:29:40
Chilly
Well, here's the thing. It's still a choice because you're probably not playing both of them.
00:29:45
Chilly
As an afternoon only, you're like, you're paying.
00:29:48
Chilly
CMC, I think, is like $800 or $500 cheaper. That's the more enticing side of it.
00:29:54
Sully Shaheed
Right. Well, Baker, where are you starting?
00:29:56
Baker
I mean, I prefer CMC. um You know, what is he second in the league in catches?
00:30:01
Baker
It's an absurd stat. But yeah, if I had to choose between Gibbs and CMC, it's CMC. But not by much, honestly, just because, you know, Jameer Gibbs' passing volume is absolutely absurd as well. And as we all know, if he's even, he's leaving with his big playability. One of my favorite running backs to pair with my Josh Allen having to go super Josh Allen and straight behind Henderson.
00:30:26
Baker
in large part due to the way the Patriots run the ball and the way that the Bills can't defend the run.
00:30:32
Baker
And these big plays we saw from Sean Tucker a few weeks ago when he forced Josh Allen to become super Josh, because it wasn't Baker Mayfield that pushed that game. It was the running backs. If we're going get these big plays out of the running game, which Travion obviously has that sort of upside.
00:30:47
Baker
That's why I like Travion Henderson to go with Josh Allen, to force Josh Allen to become super Josh. Um, I mean, I do like the Woody Marks play, but at the top end, those are kind of the two towards the top-ish that I am very, very, very interested in
00:31:04
Sully Shaheed
um What about, I mean, I left one out, but we mentioned him earlier in the QB section. What about Saquon?
00:31:10
Baker
Just depends on the way I build. That's going to be a building-specific type of play for me versus, like, a main stacking because Saquon's going to be a one-off if I play
Saquon Barkley as a DFS Option
00:31:22
Baker
I highly doubt I'm playing Brock Powers, and I highly doubt that I'm playing any Raiders pass catcher with him. So it's a one-off play in my opinion. So that purely just becomes the way I build, and if I can build around that and I don't go up to Jameer or CM Save.
00:31:38
Sully Shaheed
But i mean, Saquon sitting at 7,100 DraftKings dollars is pretty enticing.
00:31:44
Chilly
and he's not And he's not coming in chalky either. I thought he would have been chalkier, but at the moment, he's not.
00:31:55
Sully Shaheed
Uh, Chili, I'll, I'll let you get some takes in, but I just kind of want to get your thoughts on, um, there's a team with another nut matchup at running back and that would be the, uh, first place Carolina Panthers.
00:32:05
Sully Shaheed
Uh, how do you feel about the timeshare between the Rico and Chuba Hubbard against the saints?
00:32:13
Chilly
I'm probably just not going to touch it, especially slate-wise. I'm probably not going to touch it. um It's just too much variance there. um
00:32:25
Sully Shaheed
We gotta embrace the variance. We gotta embrace the variance.
00:32:27
Chilly
Yeah, I mean, i mean honestly, i would rather just play Travis Etienne. Byshell Tootin only got four attempts last week, and um and he fumbled.
00:32:36
Sully Shaheed
Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:40
Chilly
It's Travis Etienne's backfield now. Etienne is in a really good matchup against the Jets. The Jets are allowing the fourth most points to running backs. um So at this point, Travis, I think Travis Etienne at this point at his price tag at 6,500 is kind of low.
00:33:00
Chilly
um So I really like ETN this week. um Plus he does get some receiving work too. But he's he's just really yeah he's just really cheap.
00:33:09
Chilly
And again, the Jaguars want to run the football. so um And now that, like, honestly, like I know we like there is a lot of Trevor Lawrence hate on this show, but like he is fine.
00:33:21
Chilly
but i mean But to his credit, like he is playing better, which is better for the run game. So it's probably a combination of both. But at this point, like I do believe they're at home, too, against the Jets. So...
00:33:37
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, but there's another, I mean, there's another backfield that has another nut matchup and that would belong to the New York football giants between Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. Again, another cheap piece and Washington stinks against the run, but on the other side of the ball,
00:33:51
Chilly
Yeah, these are so bad.
00:33:53
Sully Shaheed
If Chris Rodriguez plays, the Giants stink against stopping the run. So there are cheaper options to get to if you want to jam in those high-priced guys.
00:34:04
Sully Shaheed
But those are just some ah some other options you can throw out there. like It would be one of those slates where these like random running backs that don't help anybody start scoring. And I think like a group of those guys, someone's going to come from that group to score a couple touchdowns.
00:34:18
Chilly
Yeah, I totally agree. um I mean, how much more money do we want to burn on Ken Walker?
00:34:28
Sully Shaheed
No mas. mas.
00:34:31
Chilly
You know, you're going to need salary, and then his face is just going to appear.
00:34:37
Baker
I'm not going to say his name.
00:34:37
Sully Shaheed
That's when I go to the Washington backfield. No. That's when I go to the Giants backfield. No. I'll be like, can walk? No. I'll just, nope.
00:34:43
Chilly
there is Ken Walker sitting at a cool 5,600 on draft Kings.
00:34:43
Sully Shaheed
Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
00:34:47
Chilly
Like, um, I kind of mentioned them before.
00:34:52
Chilly
ah he is going to be a little bit on the chalkier side. Um, Ashton Gentry against Philadelphia. Um, you know, we just saw on, on this Monday night game, um, the chargers absolutely killed Philadelphia with running backs and running backs out of the backfield. Obviously a huge difference from going from Justin Herbert to Kenny Pickett. And, uh,
00:35:14
Chilly
But, like, i they I feel like the the system is just daring you to play Gentry into ownership. So, I don't know if I'm going to do it, but it's it's really enticing. I mean, you mentioned Saquon. I'm surprised that Saquon isn't chalkier, honestly, at this point. But...
00:35:33
Sully Shaheed
Let's just ride it out and play Saquon. Okay, let's just do it. um Baker, who else you got on the list?
00:35:39
Baker
So, i mean, you mentioned the Carolina guys. If I really have to save the salary, I'll play Chuba Hubbard. The last time Carolina played, obviously, they're coming off their buy Chuba Hubbard. Like this was more so a Chuba game than it was a Rico Donald game. And at that discount, I'm willing to embrace that variance because I don't need that much from him at 4,600.
00:36:00
Baker
Like that price discrepancy is absolutely absurd.
00:36:03
Baker
for for the workload that Chuba still is going to get in this backfield.
00:36:04
Sully Shaheed
Yeah. Yeah.
00:36:07
Baker
So yeah, give me Chuba. And in that same game, give me Devin Neal. We saw last week the fact that like there's no other running back session. Like Taysom Hill's not ah involved in this running game right now because he's still a little bit banged up.
00:36:19
Baker
And Devin Neal is getting the the lion's share of everything in this backfield. And last night, I'll check.
00:36:23
Chilly
ain't getting the lion's share touchdowns, though. yeah
00:36:26
Sully Shaheed
Yeah. oh tyler shu nine runs baby
00:36:32
Baker
But yeah, give me Devin Neal in this game where last time the Panthers were on the slit on the slate, like we were all talking about the fact of like they looked good for a while. Now they're bad to be back to being a bad run defense and we can go back to targeting them.
00:36:41
Chilly
They are bad against the run.
00:36:44
Baker
So yeah, give me Devin Neal and give me Chuba Hubbard. And i'll I'll thank you for the salary slate save later as I jam in some you know awesome players.
00:36:54
Sully Shaheed
Yeah. And speaking of jamming in these awesome players, I think we should roll over to wide receiver um because there's some pretty awesome players at that position that you might want to jam in.
00:37:06
Sully Shaheed
um Fukunakua, number one in our our minds, hearts, and wallets. JS on the slate as well. Chili, the um chili at the top Where do we want to build around here? Because DraftKings probably has JSN priced appropriately.
00:37:25
Sully Shaheed
On FanDuel, they gave him the 10K again. So probably not. um But where would you like to start at the top end?
00:37:33
Chilly
Yeah, on DraftKings, it probably starts and ends with Puka and Chase. um You could probably play both of them if you... You could probably play both of them in a Burrow double, right? If you play Chase with a old Mitchell Tinsley,
00:37:53
Chilly
um if it's... Because that dude is cheap and it gives you a Burrow double. um But yeah, so you're probably debating right now. I mean, right now, The greater value of the two is Puka, and it's not even close.
00:38:07
Chilly
He's projecting way better than Chase.
00:38:09
Sully Shaheed
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:38:10
Chilly
um But, i mean, and then, like, don't forget, like, you also have Amon Ross and Brown, too, in that game. It's just a lot of fantasy goodness right now
Top Wide Receiver Picks
00:38:22
Chilly
in that game. ah Unless if you just want to say, you know, I want to try and snag all the touchdowns from the one-yard line, just go Devontae Adams. Yeah.
00:38:32
Sully Shaheed
that's like a That's like a fan duel only play, right? Like, I don't think he, like, his touchdowns are great, but it doesn't offer that much. Like, you're not going to get a 10-catch game out of Devontae Adams. You can get a 10-catch game out of Puka.
00:38:44
Chilly
But Detroit is so bad against wide receivers. He can get five for 60 and three, right? Like...
00:38:51
Sully Shaheed
you you you You make good points. You you bring up good points. ah But yeah, I think i think I'm swinging Puka in that choice you know for for late on a Wednesday night. um Baker, top end, where you want to go?
00:39:07
Baker
I mean, last time Detroit and LA played, Puka ended up dropping a 40-burger. So just leave that in the back of your mind and do with that what you will.
00:39:18
Baker
um So I will say this.
00:39:18
Sully Shaheed
He's good at the game of football.
00:39:22
Baker
So in playing Rams receivers, I tend to play the wrong one each and every week. So if I'm saying Puka, play Devontae Adams. If I'm saying Devontae, play Puka. um And with that being said, I'm not going play both of them.
00:39:31
Sully Shaheed
Or both of them.
00:39:35
Baker
But they don't get together. I don't think they've hit together.
00:39:37
Sully Shaheed
It's a little pricey.
00:39:38
Baker
I don't think they've hit together this year.
00:39:38
Sully Shaheed
I know, right? Yeah, that's, yeah.
00:39:41
Chilly
This would be the game they hit together.
00:39:44
Baker
youre You are right about that. This is definitely the game environment to hit together.
00:39:48
Baker
The thing that's great about Detroit is, you know, they're going to sit there and play their man coverages and say, beat us this way. And the Rams are going to be like, all right, you want give Devontae Adams and Pooka Naku a man to man? I will.
00:40:01
Baker
But I'm higher on Devontae Adams. just because of the touchdown equity once they get into the red zone. Both Apuka's touchdowns coming outside the red zone last week, and the amount of targets that Devontae Adams has gotten inside the red zone is absolutely absurd.
00:40:15
Baker
He has like 23 targets or something or something ah outrageous like that inside the red zone this year, which is an absurd stat. But I think my favorite play in that game is the God of the Sun.
00:40:26
Baker
In these games where Detroit is ah ends up in shootouts, Just as well as Puka breaks the slate, I think the God of the Sun breaks it just as well. He's two weeks removed from that ankle sprain, which he played through anyway.
00:40:36
Baker
So he's only getting healthier, hopefully. So yeah, give me the God of the Sun at the top.
00:40:41
Sully Shaheed
I mean, that's fair. But like I said, if you if you play both like one or two of those guys, you leave out Jamar Chase. And we saw in the last matchup, like I said, Sands, T. Higgins this week. So we already know Joe Burrow is going to resort to his number one guy. um i think it's tough to leave off Jamar in this instance. um I'd rather try my hand at a Jamison Williams as opposed to paying up for ah the Sun God and still get your Detroit flavor as well as one of the top receivers in the NFL in the game environment that we want to expose, per se. Because it's tough, because this week you're like, if I'm going to play Jamar, I probably want to bring along King Henry.
00:41:23
Sully Shaheed
Because it's tough to bring along one of those tight ends from Baltimore if you want to run it back, you know, a little mini with Jamar Chase. And I wanted to mention this earlier. Did you see that Mark Andrews had more passes defense than he did catches last week?
00:41:40
Baker
That's mildly disturbing.
Criticism of Mark Andrews
00:41:42
Sully Shaheed
did you see that game-ending play where Mark Andrews dropped the ball?
00:41:45
Sully Shaheed
No, he defended that ball because he was throwing the ball to Nook. Nook was wide open doing backflips in the end zone, and Lamar saw him, tried to hit him, but it was Mark Andrews that cut off that pass to not let Nook catch it.
00:42:02
Sully Shaheed
So, yes, more passes defensed than actual catches, and Isaiah likely is... allergic to the end zone apparently something always happens with this dude where there's a fumble at the one a toe a not catch catch like I don't know like I said I'm jumping into tight ends but I'm trying to say like it's it's hard to run the stack the other way so like Chile mentioned I do like like saying like okay Mitchell Tinsley could be a guy that you want to get your Cincinnati flavor from and then in that Detroit game you can go up to
00:42:12
Baker
That was a touchdown.
00:42:36
Sully Shaheed
I'm on Ross eight Brown, or like I said, you can go down to Jamison Williams and then still be able to fit, you know, the Jamar chases of the world. Cause like I said, I think Puka or Devante is probably necessary in your lineups this week. I think it's one of the other pick your poison and then go to whatever flavor of lion that you want.
00:42:57
Sully Shaheed
But I don't think I'll be able to leave out Cincinnati pieces this week.
00:43:00
Chilly
Yeah. I mean, Mitchell Tinsley at this point, he's just a price play. He's 3,100 on DraftKings. I think on FanDuel, he's like – he's not five k I think he's like 4,700. So honestly, for me on both sites, like you just play that dude, hope he gets into the box and pray to God that the high price guy you jammed in with them just goes off the sheet.
00:43:26
Sully Shaheed
I'm here for this. I'm here for this. Chill, who else you got?
00:43:29
Chilly
Yeah. I mean, I mentioned them earlier. i do like both of the Washington receivers. Um, the last time, you know, Mariota did play football, he did tear up the Broncos. Um, to his credit.
00:43:42
Chilly
um So I do like, I do like both of the Washington guys. um They're both really cheap as well. There are, I don't even think they're above like 5,600 each. Jawan Jennings against the Titans.
00:43:55
Chilly
um Again here, he's cheap. He's Brock Purdy's number one option. The Titans are bad at football. We just saw Shador almost throw for 400 yards on these bums. um And San Francisco is coming off of the buy.
00:44:09
Chilly
um so I don't mind Jennings at all. Again, can kind of help you jam in some of these higher-priced pieces. And you don't really feel bad about playing Jawan Jennings. you know Again, we've seen this dude drop 50 points before, so um i don't I don't mind that at all.
00:44:25
Chilly
ah Wandale Robinson in that same game with the Commanders. Again, the Commanders are bad at football as well. They just made old number nine look relevant, so...
00:44:36
Chilly
um I don't like that at all. And apparently Trevor Lawrence's number one wide receiver nowadays is Jacoby Myers. um We were saying don't touch this dude with a 10-foot pole. Now you actually got to touch him. So, um again, here he's pretty affordable as well. um So i don't i don't I don't mind Jacoby.
00:44:57
Chilly
know Again, the Jets are bad at football. Let's see.
00:45:00
Sully Shaheed
I mean, they made up they made all this hoopla over the draft picks they gave up to get Travis Hunter when all you had to do was just go and get Jacoby Myers.
00:45:09
Chilly
right? I mean, for real though.
00:45:10
Sully Shaheed
And just kept the pick.
00:45:11
Chilly
And, and also like, I mean, this doesn't really have anything to do with wide receiver.
00:45:11
Sully Shaheed
Like, what's the hype?
00:45:16
Chilly
If Devon Achan doesn't get hurt last week, he probably breaks the slate, right?
00:45:23
Sully Shaheed
got to be at a buck 40 total on nine touches and a touchdown, brother.
00:45:28
Chilly
yeah, I think he he probably would have went for 50 last week. So, um, again here, not to say like did Jacoby Myers ain't doing that.
00:45:36
Chilly
Um, One other guy I'll mention is Nico Collins against the Cardinals. ah
00:45:43
Chilly
Cardinals are bad at football. We know where C.J. Stroud's going. um I guess, like, the biggest question here is, is what do you doing with Michael Wilson against the Texans?
00:45:54
Baker
I was going to ask the exact same question.
00:45:56
Sully Shaheed
Absolutely not. The Texans embarrass you. They embarrass Patrick Mahomes.
00:46:02
Sully Shaheed
They embarrass Josh Allen.
00:46:04
Sully Shaheed
They and they just go out and boat race teams.
00:46:04
Chilly
But. Hold on. But. Hold on.
00:46:07
Sully Shaheed
The Cardinals are off the menu.
00:46:09
Chilly
Hold on, hold on. The Cardinals thing is to get boat raced and then start playing.
00:46:20
Chilly
That's their thing.
00:46:22
Chilly
that is literally That has literally been their MO for the past month.
00:46:28
Chilly
Like, it's it's so... Because obviously, like, the Texans are going to, like, you know, beat that ass. But... Like, what do you do?
00:46:41
Sully Shaheed
What do I do? What do I do? ah Yeah, like I said, the the Cardinals are off the menu for me, man. I can't do it.
00:46:48
Chilly
and then And then for me, um you know, we mentioned Hurts. um I do like Devonta Smith in this matchup. Yeah. the Raiders played more of a zone defense, which he tends to do better against than A.J. Brown.
00:47:04
Chilly
I don't think you can go wrong with either one, ah but I think this is a Devonta Smith type of game.
00:47:11
Sully Shaheed
That's a good shout on Devonta. I like
Wide Receiver Strategy in DFS
00:47:13
Sully Shaheed
that. I like that a lot, actually. ah Baker, anybody left before you head over to tight end?
00:47:17
Baker
Well, one, I wanted to point out why while Chill was talking and I wasn't paying attention, um I found a way to jam in Jamar Chase, Amaran St. Brown, and Pukinuku. I'm just going throw it out there. ill she I'll show you guys later after we finish.
00:47:30
Baker
But outside of that, no.
00:47:31
Sully Shaheed
So you playing Kenny Pickett with me?
00:47:35
Baker
No, I do not have Kenny Pickett as my quarterback in this lineup.
00:47:40
Baker
Not a chance in hell. Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:47:42
Sully Shaheed
I'm playing Kenny Pickett this week, boys.
00:47:44
Chilly
sounds like we're it Sounds like we're playing Chris Rodriguez is what it sounds like.
00:47:48
Baker
We don't have Chris Rodriguez in this lineup.
00:47:51
Baker
No, Chris Rodriguez. No, no, no, no, no.
00:47:54
Baker
This lineup, it actually makes sense. And like I said, we'll talk about it later. um i don't I don't think so. I think the Tennessee receivers, especially DK, um as is is a little bit intriguing.
00:48:09
Baker
Obviously, as we've stated multiple times before the the bi their bye week last week, San Francisco's defense is beat up. San Francisco's defense is vulnerable. And It wouldn't surprise me if the Titans showed a little bit of life.
00:48:22
Chilly
Is this the week where Cam Ward wins so many million dollars?
00:48:22
Baker
You know, um coming off an emotional line.
00:48:25
Sully Shaheed
We're $20 million. dollars
00:48:27
Baker
I intentionally left Cam Warren. After the last time I played Cam Warren two weeks ago, I'm done Michigan for the year. promise.
00:48:34
Chilly
I mean, we we can talk about it on Saturday if you want more Cam Ward takes on Saturday.
00:48:35
Baker
Done with Cam Warren.
00:48:40
Chilly
But one thing I will say here before we go over the tight end, San Francisco does not pressure the quarterback.
00:48:48
Chilly
So, Cam Ward might... be able to actually like cook. um They're going to be in a negative game script because, i again, I think San Francisco is going to absolutely whoop them boys.
00:49:02
Chilly
So well we get we can ah we can get back to that on on Saturday. Tune in.
00:49:08
Baker
But yeah, I think DK and for a lesser, i like, Aminura, definitely interesting. I'm not sure if we'll get there. I think in definitely in Christian McCaffrey lineups as a nice potential pivot play or, you know, not pivot play, but contrarian stack with that many, you could do something like that. I think the biggest thing is, or do we have Marvin Harrison?
00:49:30
Baker
Because, know, Like, to the Michael Wilson point, like, if we don't have Marvin Harrison, he did not practice today, like, Michael Wilson's targets, just targets alone, 18, 15, and 16 in the three games Marvin Harrison's missed this year.
00:49:47
Baker
What? 36, 24, and 40. Those are his fantasy points. I don't do a fuck who you're about.
00:49:52
Sully Shaheed
Opportunity over talent. That's for sure.
00:49:54
Baker
I don't give a fuck. Like, I understand this man's losing his pain.
00:49:56
Chilly
like it so i I think Michael Wilson is talented. i just think he plays the wrong position or the wrong spot for wide receiver.
00:50:06
Sully Shaheed
Right. He's an X, and not a Y.
00:50:08
Chilly
Yeah, I believe is what the um it's what the populace has said.
00:50:14
Sully Shaheed
Oh, Marvin Harris is on the trade block. Got it. Got it. Got it. I mean, got it.
00:50:19
Chilly
I mean, shit, when youre they probably should try Michael Wilson.
00:50:23
Baker
I mean, you want to do you want a way to get different potentially depending on ownership? Like obviously, Woody Marks is popular. If Michael Wilson's because he has an elevated price now stays low, you throw Michael Wilson on the other side of that, you're immediately contrarian.
00:50:37
Chilly
You could just play Jacoby Brissett at 0.01 ownership.
00:50:42
Baker
No, no, no. You cannot convince me to do that one.
00:50:49
Baker
You can convince me to a lot of things.
00:50:51
Baker
I'm not playing to you. If you say Kenny Pickett again, if you say Kenny Pickett again, no, Sully. The answer is no. No means no, goddammit.
00:50:59
Chilly
You guys should really tune in. You should tune in
Tight End Options for DFS
00:51:02
Chilly
for the Saturday show for our Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, and Kenny Pickett takes.
00:51:02
Sully Shaheed
me right yeah ah let's go to tight end man let's smack this up real quick um Trey McBride still good at football, but he has a terrible matchup against the Texans, like we mentioned. ah George Kittle looking like he's going to be one of the popular guys, along with Theo Johnson and, for some reason, Harold Fannin Jr., even though he's $4,000 price tag. I understand it, but like I said, that game is just super scary to me.
00:51:33
Sully Shaheed
It seems like a lot of... Where the lineups are to go this week is going to be the cheap tight end because we have to fit in these skill position players. So I guess Baker will start on the cheap end with tight end where you want to go.
00:51:49
Baker
Do the Cincinnati Bengals play?
00:51:53
Baker
I'm literally like, okay, I guess I'll give a second take. um There's only one person to stack Josh Allen with. One. Like, you can roll the dice.
00:51:59
Chilly
Dawson Knox Spencer Hawes
00:52:01
Baker
Apparently, it's Dawson Knox. Oh, my God. bro Dawson Knox tilted me off the fucking planet last week. Had so much Dalton being paid, and Dawson Knox has a damn nearer.
00:52:11
Chilly
We had Dalton Kincaid when it mattered
00:52:15
Baker
I mean, he got into the end zone. He he he scored while i was taking my afternoon nap, but he scored.
00:52:21
Baker
But once again, Cincinnati is on the is on the slate. I'm playing Mark Andrews. I'm playing Isaiah Likely. More than likely, no pun intended there, they'll either cannibalize each other or in the correct lineup, I'll have the wrong one.
00:52:33
Baker
But they are both 100% likely.
00:52:39
Sully Shaheed
Well, I mean, listen to your point, Baker. Even though I went on that tirade earlier about, you know, Mark Andrews being absolute dust, which I should throw his ass on the freaking dust bus. But yeah, to point,
00:52:48
Baker
That works. That works. Put him on there. Take King Henry off. You have the wrong Raven on there. Put Mark Andrews' ass on there.
00:52:56
Chilly
No, I mean, listen. we had the We'll just have the right Ravens on there. So we can we can now include Mark Andrews on the bus.
00:53:06
Baker
I feel like she hates the Ravens.
00:53:06
Sully Shaheed
but yeah so my to to my point and
00:53:08
Baker
People are talking about Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews, Derrick Henry, DeAndre Hopkins. What other Ravens do you want to throw on here for fuck's sake?
00:53:15
Chilly
I mean, they're fucking bad this year.
00:53:18
Sully Shaheed
what's What's their Zay Flowers? That dude is trash too.
00:53:24
Baker
just had 100 yards last week.
00:53:25
Sully Shaheed
i mean, I'm just saying.
00:53:26
Baker
He can't. and a hundred yards last week
00:53:29
Sully Shaheed
He sucks. ah But to to the point where I was trying to make bake is that we saw last week and every week in existence that the Bengals have played football that it doesn't just have to be one tight end that gets there. It could be both because we saw Hunter Henry and the backup get there to a lesser extent we saw last week an injured dalton kinkade and his limited route tree get there we saw dawson knox get there i mean there's there's a universe where both mark andrews and ah likely get there against the bangles because the bangles do one thing very well and that's nuke wide receiver ones
00:54:10
Sully Shaheed
But they cannot guard the damn tight end. The backup, the backup. Or in the Bills case, the backup, backup, backup. Because Hawes scored a touchdown last week. So, I mean, there is a universe where both Ravens can get there. So, I i support your point.
00:54:30
Sully Shaheed
I support your point, Bake. I'm i'm here for it. I'm here for it.
00:54:33
Chilly
Yeah. Other tight ends. ah Theo Johnson. We just watched like every Vikings tight end catch touchdowns against this Washington team.
00:54:43
Chilly
um So ah plus with Dart back, Dart really only targets two guys.
00:54:50
Chilly
Obviously Slayton, you know, break the slate Slayton. But um so again, I like Theo. AJ Barner against the Colts. um If you're playing Sam Darnold stuff, I do like Barner.
00:55:03
Chilly
ah The Colts are pretty bad against tight ends this year. And nice and then just taking a look here at a couple other different plays. I mean, other than that, I don't i don't mind Fanon, truthfully. Yeah.
00:55:22
Chilly
I don't know if Ninjoku's going to be out, but I don't i don't mind Fanon at all. We saw Musgrave kind of get a little bit loose ah against Chicago as well. so
00:55:37
Baker
I don't think it matters if Njoku is out or not. I mean, he's in their last five games, he's out targeting him like 37 to 7 or something crazy like that.
00:55:44
Chilly
yeah I think i think you just you would prefer him to be out to kind of condense a little bit more of the touchdown equity.
00:55:52
Baker
Well, if you're going to that way, might as well. You might as well.
00:55:56
Sully Shaheed
Shut the up with this shit.
00:56:03
Chilly
i mean, that dude will –
00:56:03
Sully Shaheed
We missed the boat last week, Baker.
00:56:06
Sully Shaheed
We missed the boat.
00:56:08
Sully Shaheed
It's sailed. It's shipped. It's gone, man. We missed the Shador week.
00:56:10
Baker
If it wasn't weather, if it if it wasn't weather last week, or if it wasn't weather this week, sorry, if it wasn't weather this week, we did not miss the boat.
00:56:18
Baker
It's still coming. As long as we don't have weather and inkling it, we can do it. God damn it. We can do it. Not, not, not negative 17.
00:56:24
Chilly
Baker, you can play yourself Shador. You can talk about it on Saturday with all of our other terrible takes.
00:56:28
Baker
Not negative 17. I'm not.
00:56:30
Chilly
Robot, see, even the system knows. I don't even want to hear you.
00:56:34
Sully Shaheed
See, Baker just 1v1 me, but we'll talk about it Saturday. You go Shador, I'll go Kitty Pickett, and we can go and we can ride, god dang it.
00:56:42
Baker
I would go Cam Warden. I'd go Cam Warden, not Kitty Pickett. Or not Shadori.
00:56:46
Chilly
ah but yeah I mean, I think it's pretty much everybody.
00:56:48
Sully Shaheed
Chili. Chili.
00:56:51
Sully Shaheed
Chili. Brock Bowers.
00:56:55
Chilly
Yeah, I don't mind Bowers at all. if you're Especially if you're putting it on the other side of Philly stuff. Yeah, no nobody's...
00:57:01
Sully Shaheed
Like, 0%. percent I mean, he'll be like 2% to 3% because he's Brock Bowers, because he's got the namesake. But, like, no one is going to play Brock Bowers.
00:57:12
Sully Shaheed
And he's still really good at football.
00:57:16
Chilly
Yeah, I mean, Philadelphia is really good against tight ends, but yeah, nobody's...
00:57:16
Sully Shaheed
Like, really good.
00:57:22
Chilly
You're getting Bowers at less than 5%, I would think.
00:57:26
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, sometimes talent just beats the matchup. you know And I'm not saying that he's going to be some slate breaker, but, I mean, you're talking... let me look at his price again here. So, Brock Bowers, 5,900.
00:57:39
Chilly
I mean, it's kind of like
00:57:39
Sully Shaheed
fifteen fifty nine hundred And then, like, he's going to be in that price range where you're like, nah, I'm good on that, fam. Like, you'll find, you'll save $500 by going to Kittle.
00:57:50
Sully Shaheed
You'll save a ton more by going to Harold Fannin. I get the plays. However, i still need to evaluate the talent behind the plays.
00:57:58
Chilly
sometimes Sometimes you can get rewarded by playing really good players in tough matchups. like it is like um It'd be like no different.
00:58:05
Sully Shaheed
Correct. Correct.
00:58:07
Chilly
like We didn't mention them, but like take like James Cook, for example. James Cook basically has been Jonathan Taylor without the touchdowns. um Unfortunately, he just plays with Josh Allen. and ah Well, James Cook also, I think, leads the league in fumbles too, which doesn't help his case.
00:58:24
Chilly
But it would be like this week. like You can literally play James Cook at no ownership, but that matchup against New England is not great.
00:58:32
Sully Shaheed
You can play Jonathan Taylor at No Ownership. No, you
00:58:36
Chilly
no No, you can't. No, you can't. Phillip Rivers.
00:58:38
Sully Shaheed
No, you can't.
00:58:38
Chilly
well No, you can't.
00:58:41
Sully Shaheed
ah you can't
00:58:42
Baker
You're going to stop this, Phillip Rivers. Hey, God damn you. Stop it.
00:58:45
Chilly
i will Baker, I will send you a 1v1, and we'll run lineups. All right?
00:58:51
Baker
I mean, who are you playing for Phillip Rivers?
00:58:51
Chilly
you Who would I play against, Phillip Rivers? Hold on moment.
00:58:57
Baker
Yeah, mean, I'll take the 1v1, but like I need somebody like...
00:59:03
Chilly
Oh, I would probably just play Marcus Mariota.
00:59:03
Sully Shaheed
kitty pickett i like I want the
00:59:07
Baker
That's actually actually a good play.
00:59:11
Baker
excited what are you talking about here
00:59:15
Sully Shaheed
so with the junk i
00:59:17
Baker
You mean to tell me I'm playing a quarterback who just came off of his couch playing Seattle? You're playing a quarterback who's been playing all year versus the Giants?
00:59:23
Chilly
your core Your quarterback has been running the same system for his son's high school team that he's running currently with the Colts. So, like...
00:59:32
Sully Shaheed
He's so right. He's ah hey
00:59:39
Chilly
I mean, but this is a great segue into you chalk Seattle's defense.
00:59:47
Sully Shaheed
so right. He's $3,700 easy to pay.
00:59:54
Baker
It's not expensive enough.
00:59:55
Baker
It is not expensive enough.
00:59:56
Sully Shaheed
That's pretty damn cheap, man. That's probably the lock of the week, right?
01:00:00
Sully Shaheed
Like, what are we doing?
Selecting Defenses for DFS
01:00:05
Sully Shaheed
Oh, who's the, um so if we don't get Tyrod, who's the Jets guy again?
01:00:11
Chilly
it's It'll probably be Fields.
01:00:13
Baker
Yeah, was about to say, Fields might come back.
01:00:13
Sully Shaheed
oh yeah, I forgot Fields is a thing.
01:00:16
Chilly
<unk>s not You're a robot, mate.
01:00:19
Sully Shaheed
So, I mean, like, you still you got Jacksonville, 3,900. The Eagles against Kenny Pickett, which you'll be blowing your money because that's going to be negative points. But, um you know, I mean, there's there's the nut matchup.
01:00:32
Sully Shaheed
houstons Houston's defense is just absolutely destructive.
01:00:36
Chilly
I like Houston. um You know the Cardinals are going to be chucking it. You
01:00:42
Sully Shaheed
Yeah. Yeah. Big time. Big time. Hey, listen, if you want to save salary...
01:00:45
Chilly
um you could probably play the Bears.
01:00:49
Sully Shaheed
If you want to save salary, why don't you pay $2,000 for the Raiders?
01:00:58
Sully Shaheed
Jalen Hurts sucks, man. He's so bad.
01:01:04
Sully Shaheed
And it's only $2,000. Like, what do they need? Two? And it allows you to get something else.
01:01:09
Chilly
you you You could go up to 2,500 for the Chargers against the Chiefs.
01:01:21
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, you could.
01:01:23
Sully Shaheed
it could. you could.
01:01:24
Baker
You might as well go to the Browns at that point, Tom. That's a better matchup.
01:01:29
Sully Shaheed
yeah i'm sorry, what?
01:01:33
Sully Shaheed
I love this bit. It's great. I love the bit. um But yeah, I mean, defense pretty straightforward. Like, there's really bad quarterbacks playing in the NFL this week.
01:01:44
Sully Shaheed
um just Just pick one of the defense that goes against, like, those guys, and then you should be okay.
01:01:49
Chilly
i mean I mean, truthfully, i mean truthfully if if just wouldn no matter who's playing quarterback for the Jets, you probably just play the Jags defense because that's going to be the high-owned defense that isn't going to get played.
01:02:03
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, that's ah that's a good point. That's a good point.
01:02:06
Chilly
But like I would assume if you just get Seattle's defense.
01:02:10
Sully Shaheed
just Just find the money to play Seattle's defense. ah Again, I'm here for this. ah Baker, any other takes before we wrap it up and get on out
Final Thoughts and Farewell
01:02:21
Sully Shaheed
Fair enough, fair enough. Chili, late on a Wednesday, favorite stat going into ah week 15.
01:02:28
Chilly
Favorite stack going into week 15.
01:02:34
Chilly
um I really like the San Francisco stack. um And then I do like the borough side of things as well.
01:02:46
Chilly
It's a really cool. It's the a cool stitch shirt.
01:02:50
Chilly
Baker, we'll be stacking. Okay.
01:02:52
Baker
He's over here being too busy being dead. Oh.
01:02:55
Sully Shaheed
No, I'm trying to get my girls to give the give the people a PSA for the main slate. So that's that's all they wanted, man. That's it, man. So just just tell everybody good luck in week 15. Good luck.
01:03:10
Sully Shaheed
Good luck in week 15. Bye.
01:03:17
Baker
Well, because of that, because of them, we're getting a takedown. Just going to throw it out there because of that right there.
01:03:23
Sully Shaheed
I'm here for this.
01:03:24
Baker
Favorite stack, I got to say Lamar and either tight end or both tight ends.
01:03:29
Sully Shaheed
You could run the double. I'm telling you, man. this Tight ends against the Bengals, bro. It just prints money. It prints money.
01:03:36
Baker
I mean, if Lamar is going to go off, there's that like you said it, but it's a great chance that both these tight ends can have a touchdown or multiple touchdowns. ah If Lamar throws four touchdowns, would it be surprising if to if they caught all four?

Sully Shaheed
No. No. Absolutely not. Thousand was percent.
01:03:53
Baker
By the way, that that likely touchdown was a fucking touchdown.
01:03:56
Baker
That was the biggest crack of shit.
01:04:00
Sully Shaheed
You got to complete the process, bro.
01:04:03
Baker
Down, control, two feet. that's That's the end of the play. He he got two steps. Third step, the ball out.
01:04:12
Baker
He needs a 15th step. What the fuck? I wanted to rip my freaking
01:04:14
Chilly
I mean, per per the rule, you got to complete the process of the catch.
01:04:20
Sully Shaheed
which is the catch, the feet, the the touchdown celebration, the handoff to the ref, the celebration with the teammates. If you don't complete all that, it is an incomplete pass.
01:04:31
Sully Shaheed
It is not a touchdown. I'm sorry.
01:04:33
Chilly
Sounds about right.
01:04:33
Sully Shaheed
No celebration. No, no, no. Incomplete. Call was right on the field. They were good.
01:04:39
Sully Shaheed
They were good. were good. um My favorite stuff right now um is probably the Joe Burrow side. Like I said, I think that Jamar Chase is to be a lock for me in lineups. I'm going to give my king one last shot.
01:04:51
Sully Shaheed
In lineups I don't have my king, I would probably bring along one of those tight ends, um likely, or Mark Andrews. I can see one or both of them having a good game. So if you think, you know, my king is dusty, even in the nut matchup, there's so many other nut matchups.
01:05:05
Sully Shaheed
Like you said, Saquon against the Raiders, um CMC against the Titans, Travis Etienne against the Jets.
01:05:11
Sully Shaheed
You can plug any of those guys in instead of um our king and bra still bring along a Baltimore piece. And I think your lineups will be just fine. So um I think Joe Burrow at, you know, depressed ownership for this moment in time is probably my favorite stack with Jamar Chase and or Mitchell Tinsley or a Mike Gasicki, something like that.
01:05:31
Sully Shaheed
um And then, like i said, on the low end, it'll probably, I mean, I might ride out this Kenny Pickett stuff just to be an asshole. I mean, like what like, what does he have to do? Let's say the Eagles get right.
01:05:43
Sully Shaheed
I mean, we saw Kenny Pickett in garbage time last week when he subbed in for Geno Smith. He just carved up two drives and was like, well, this is good. I should be starting, you know? And again, he's got the revenge dagger in his hand.
