Week 15 Football Season Kickoff
00:00:01
Speaker
Ah yes, week 15 is upon us and you have to ask yourselves, is your favorite quarterback hurt? Probably. Did you make the fantasy playoffs? Probably or probably not. Are you ready for best ball season? None of that really matters because we're here to be a degenerate, just like my co-host and I to welcome you into the week 15 slate. And of course, to quote a great, I don't know about great, but MVP candidate,
00:00:30
Speaker
Here we go. Welcome into the deli. It's week 15.
00:00:51
Speaker
Here we go. Oh, sorry.
Excitement for Bills Game
00:00:54
Speaker
I'm just I'm just excited for the bills game for Sunday. I apologize. And it's going to be on national TV. So we get to hear that yelled at nauseam over and over again. But welcome to the DFS deli. I am the proprietor of this delicatessen. Of course, Sally Alicia heed and joined on a late Wednesday night chili here in Cleveland, Ohio. It is chill, man. Chill. Welcome to work. How's everything going for you?
Fantasy Football Playoff Scenarios
00:01:17
Speaker
I mean, it's going pretty good. I can't really complain.
00:01:21
Speaker
You know, much like this season, we're on a really weird slate here. The one o'clock window, the highest total game or the point total is that Green Bay, Tampa Bay game, which is like 41 and a half points. That's a little terrifying, but don't worry, the four o'clock games will save you.
00:01:48
Speaker
A lot of PMR this week is probably going to be on the main slate, so don't get a little antsy past one o'clock.
00:01:59
Speaker
It is gross. It is gross. But the thing is that you and I kind of discussed a little bit, but we'll break down in detail here, is the pricing is tight.
Player Pricing and Value Analysis
00:02:10
Speaker
I mean, tight. The only value we're really getting is backup quarterback A, B, or C for the most part. A lot of key pieces are going to be missing off this slate, and a lot of games are going to be missing off this slate too, because there's a Saturday slate this week.
00:02:25
Speaker
We get to get the football rolling early because I'm not counting tomorrow when we get to see Easton stick versus AOC. I'm good on all that. Tomorrow's game is like a division two football game.
00:02:38
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, these two teams are dunzo. They're not playoff bound. So I mean, it's just a, it's just the game for degenerates to watch. I mean, fantasy playoffs are starting. So if you have anybody relevant in that game, I mean, more power to you. But like I told you off air, uh, if you're a Devontae Adams owner, you probably not in the playoffs anyways. So
00:02:57
Speaker
Probably not. Really doesn't matter. I'm pretty sure he has a low advanced rate and best ball too. I mean, this is a, this is going to be a rough, a rough one tomorrow, but Hey, we're here to talk about Sunday's main slate. But before we do a chill, it is playoff season.
Yearly Fantasy Leagues Update
00:03:10
Speaker
And how are the, how are the yearly streets treating you?
00:03:15
Speaker
Uh, so for my one league, we still have one more week of regular season, uh, cause that's just a 10 team. So they're only taking top four. Uh, so that one I'm sitting in fourth, uh, did upset the number one seed last week, technically. So that helps. Uh, that's just a win and I'm in situation. Uh, dynasty, we're in the playoffs. I think I finished third, third, third or fourth for that. Maybe it's one of those.
00:03:43
Speaker
Um, so sitting okay there. So, and then in my other league, I think I'm like first or second. So
00:03:49
Speaker
Uh, pretty good. Pretty good year for yearly truthfully. Excellent. Excellent. I only do one yearly team and I've, I've advanced. So I'm going to get to my buddy Nate here in the first round. And I told you he's down bad injury wise. And probably another reason why we couldn't invite Baker on the show, because we only take yearly winners here in the deli and Baker's team was ass. And, uh, he's, he's not allowed to talk about yearly anymore. Cause, uh, you know, his team sucked. So sorry, Baker. Sorry. I had to do it to you.
00:04:16
Speaker
But, um, yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm excited. There's best ball playoffs starting. I know you're not a best ball guy, but I dabble a little bit this year, a little bit more than I did last year. I had a 50% advantage rate with all the teams I drafted. So I got six bullets, six bullets going in, uh, next week. But I told you my best best ball team is, is quarterback lists that, that, that team drafted, uh, Kenny picket.
00:04:45
Speaker
it drafted Kirk cousins and it drafted CJ Stroud, who
Best Ball Playoff Strategies
00:04:50
Speaker
apparently it's not maybe not playing. And then Niko's down tanks down. Dr. Schultz looks like he's going to try and give it a go, but he might be gone. So literally 50% of my roster is not participating in that best wall team. So it's not, it's not looking great. Not looking good.
00:05:09
Speaker
but the other teams do have a shot. So I told you, I got a 49er stack in there, you know, without Brock Purdy. That was, that was when they were still deciding with Trey Lance was a thing. So I drafted Trey Lance. Yeah. So
00:05:26
Speaker
But we got a chance though. We advanced. We got a chance. That's all that matters. Chill. And we're going to give ourselves the best chance to win on the main slate on Sunday, breaking it down position by position. Like we always do here on the DFS deli. And of course we got to start with the most critical position on the roster, the QB position, pay up options of plenty and pay down options of plenty. And again, you and I were tinkering with some lineups and it is hard.
00:05:56
Speaker
hard to build lineups this week. So if you were starting at QB, which we tend to do to build out our stacks, where are you kind of leaning this week, early look, of course, on a Wednesday night?
Quarterback Picks: Purdy and Love
00:06:10
Speaker
Well, yeah, man, it's it's done. Yeah, it's done. I mean, like, I mean, at this point, it just seems like you play Brock Purdy every week.
00:06:22
Speaker
I kind of just fill out the rest from there. Again, his stacking options are going to be expensive, but he's been getting it done the past three or four weeks here in a really easy matchup at home, playing Arizona. So I don't mind Brock Pergy this week.
00:06:43
Speaker
Even on DK, his price is still too cheap at $6,800. That to me is a savings, and I don't understand why he hasn't been priced up yet.
00:06:55
Speaker
again, you know, taking a look here. He didn't have the best game on Monday night football, but Jordan Love is at home playing the Bucks. Again, the Bucks defense is been susceptible through the air. We saw the Riddler get it done last week. In the loss, but again, you know, Tampa Bay's, you know, and again, with with Aaron Jones being out, this could possibly lead to more passing opportunities and rushing upside to Jordan Love.
00:07:24
Speaker
So I don't mind that play there. Matt Stafford. I think Matt Stafford is still overpriced at six K. I think Matt Stafford has that pricing because of who he gets to throw to and the matchup. I mean, the matchup is sexy. It is. And honestly, he's been one of the best quarterbacks in the league in his past like five games. He's been averaging like 303.
00:07:51
Speaker
Like, the man has been on a little bit of a tear. Like, he's been doing really well. I don't think I could talk myself in the stat for her, because I don't know if I see the tournament winning upside with him. And then, you know, we'll get to the, you know, the creme de la creme, the game of the week, that Buffalo Dallas game with Dallas going on the road.
Playoff Implications for Prescott and Allen
00:08:16
Speaker
It's a huge game for both teams.
00:08:18
Speaker
Both teams have a lot of things to prove here. Obviously, Buffalo has to keep winning to keep their playoff hopes alive. Because if they take another loss, they're not going to beat the tiebreakers at 10 and 7. So they would need a lot to happen for them to win. At 11 and 6, they could definitely make it. Shit, they might be able to still win the division. My Dolphins have a hard-ass schedule coming up. So I think that is still on the table for them.
00:08:49
Speaker
You know, I'm kind of just quarterback this week. I kind of want to play quarterbacks who are streaking. I mean, so Josh Allen, who's not in the best matchup, but is at home against Dallas. I think I'd be more inclined. Obviously, like Josh Allen right now is that entire offense for Buffalo. So again, it's at home. I think I'd be more inclined to play Josh Allen there. And then Dak Prescott, you just paired up with CD Lamb, seems pretty simple to me.
00:09:18
Speaker
You know, Buffalo doesn't have the greatest secondary, truthfully. And we know Dak is going to one guy, for the most part. You know, he's looking for one man, and it's C.D. Lamb. So, again, those are the quarterbacks I'm looking here. I think you're going to be with me on this guy.
00:09:40
Speaker
You played some Tommy DeVito this week. Hey, you know, the guy, he's been, he's like, they're, they're comparing him to Lynn sanity in New York. You're talking about the guy that is the NFC offensive player of the week, sir.
00:10:00
Speaker
damn right. Damn right. I mean, oh, I mean, cut this. I mean, first of all, the price is cheap. And did you see that rushing for that? He has. I do it. I was screaming it since the first time I laid eyes on him. Right. I mean, Tommy DeVito, like the thing about Tommy DeVito for me is that he may not have the
00:10:19
Speaker
upside that we're looking for, but he does have the price that we're looking for. Uh, someone similar, someone similar in that same price range is probably that I'm going to lean to is going to be Will Levis. Uh, Will Levis gets Houston who just got carved up by Zach Wilson. So, I mean, if, if Houston's banged up as they are, and they might be on their backup quarterback, because I was thinking about going to the other side, but at the same time, like when you're down
00:10:42
Speaker
your main weapons, it's going to be tough to kind of sell that with the Mills Mafia and crew. So if we're talking about more offensive opportunities for the Titans, we saw them, you know, storm back against Miami on Monday. Again, we'll have business prices suppressed. We got the NUC revenge game so we can always pair him up with them. So if you're looking on the low end,
00:11:04
Speaker
I would say will levis is probably going to be the top option there and especially for you know your yearly players as well if you need a streaming option for this week you know you just lost harbert or somebody like that you thought the past or not josh doves was going to be a thing he gone he benched so i mean again not even not just a good streaming option but a good dfs option this week as well and for me if i'm going to pay up obviously
Travis Kelsey: Gut Feeling or Analysis?
00:11:27
Speaker
the resident bills fan is going to be paying for Josh Allen. This matchup home, we saw Geno Smith get the boys for over 303 before. So I mean, what can't Josh Allen replicate at home in front of this crowd that you know that like you mentioned is in a must win situation like they cannot lose any more games. And if they lose one, it probably can't be this one. So
00:11:52
Speaker
I think they need to shape that division a little more and the wild card a little more and kind of get some teams, you know, looking in the rear view mirror. And I think they need pushback. So what happened with his floor and ceiling combination last week was that the chief's offense is basically inept. I mean, yes, the bill's defense stepped up, but I mean, this is what we've seen from the chiefs all year.
00:12:13
Speaker
I mean, they're not an explosive team anymore. We've gotten like two or three, maybe good performances from the Chiefs offense and you just kind of shrug your shoulders when it happens. So, but this Dallas team is completely different. They can hang 30 on just about anybody.
00:12:28
Speaker
So I expect a lot of push and pull here, and I expect Josh Allen to be able to reach that ceiling this game. And like you mentioned, Dakota Prescott, same situation. I think if it's gonna be back and forth, both quarterbacks are gonna be on the table, but no one has the upside that Josh Allen does. I would say that Justin Fields is kind of in that similar territory because of his rushing, but he gets Cleveland this week.
00:12:53
Speaker
So I don't know if that upside rushing is going to be capped. So I would probably stay away from Justin Fields this week and then just pay the extra to get up to Josh Allen. Yes, I understand there's a lot of expensive pieces on this slate. But if you're going to make the sacrifice for one at quarterback, I think Josh Allen hands down is probably the place I'm going to go. I know this is gross and you made every accurate point you did about the Chiefs offense.
00:13:21
Speaker
They're going to come out and slaughter somebody and they're already pissed off at the media. Like Travis Kelsey had a whole rant today about the media. They're slaughtering somebody soon. I don't know who. But they're going to slaughter somebody. And with the Patriots already coming out this week and essentially Bill Belichick has fired and they fired them in Germany, essentially. I don't know. Hey.
00:13:50
Speaker
I got I got news for you. The Patriots are beating the Chiefs on Sunday. Do I have to do I have to treat you like Dale? Did you put some money on that money line for it?
00:14:03
Speaker
Oh, I'll do it as soon as the show's over, if you like. I got close confidence that that's going to happen. I mean, that I've never, I don't want to say never. I'm pretty sure I can think of a time that it happened. But for Patrick Mahomes to be such a whiny little bitch and freaking criticize the referees for a blatant offsides and not say anything about his receiver that's been costing him games the entire damn year is not fair.
00:14:31
Speaker
period. I mean, referees make bad calls. I understand that. But first of all, the call was correct. He didn't check with the damn sideline. He might've did this real quick. And the referee is like, bro, I got the, I got, I got the fucking, I got my hand on the damn chamber right now, bro. Like as soon as you hike that ball, this flag is coming out. That's on you.
00:14:51
Speaker
And my homes and his coach and he read and Travis cozy to not put any blame on his fucking teammate is bullshit. Like that's his fault. He can't catch and he don't even know how to freaking line up on sides. Get the fuck out of here. I think his wife, I think the wide receiver issue was addressed to in house because like my homes is like Brady, but he's not like Brady in the sense where like Tom Brady went off on the field.
00:15:20
Speaker
I don't think that's Pat Mahomes' game. So I'm pretty sure that was addressed. That was probably addressed in-house. Now, by the letter, obviously, that's a penalty. I'm not going to sit here and act like that Jalen Waddle didn't do the exact same thing on Monday Night Football. You got different refs, different crews. I get it. I get it.
00:15:45
Speaker
That penalty has also only been called three times this year. It's been called 11, but the other eight times were on Tush Push. So again, different outlier there. Andy Reed's been coaching a long time. That's the first time it got called. Now, again, I'm a rules person. We all know this. I'll be the first person to toss that fucking rule book in your face. You know me. So they got the call right. But ultimately,
00:16:15
Speaker
I think they addressed that wide receiver issue in house because Caderius Tony has been bad all season. And obviously this offense is coming down to two people. Well, three Pacheco was out last game. So we'll give, I don't know how much of a difference Pacheco would have made in that game. Cause they essentially didn't even have a running game. Right. Probably none. Probably next to none. I'm sure. So, um,
Chiefs' Offensive Struggles
00:16:41
Speaker
But man, if you're going to give me Travis Kelsey and Pat Mahomes below 10% combined, I understand New England's defense has been playing well. And I would have to look up to see who they've been recently playing against. I'm not the biggest Justin Herbert defender. Mitch Trubisky is, well, Mitch Trubisky. Do you watch your mouth? Well, listen. Listen, I don't mind Mitch against the Colts.
00:17:10
Speaker
But that's not Saturday, so we ain't got to worry about it. It's not Saturday, and that's indoors, I do believe. So again, there. So again, I'd be foolish not to at least take a look at my homes and galsy. Now, is it early only player? If you're going to give me that shit at low ownership.
00:17:33
Speaker
I mean, no, no. Main slate. Now, main slate. If you're telling me like, no, bro, I'm just playing deck with CD lamb. You know what? You're smart. If you literally say, no, bro, I'm playing Brock Purdy and random 49er here. I can't argue. I can't argue. I if you're going to do it, if you're going to do it on main slate, if you're playing Pat Mahomes, that is a full send milli maker type shit.
00:17:59
Speaker
I mean, I feel you, but the thing is, is like that he's A, he's expensive, still expensive to his production. And B, so is Travis Kelsey. I mean, like he's produced one tournament winnings tournament winning 100% in this entire year. This is just a call in the business, a feeling in the gut. Hey, man. This is the old gut play. They're going to go with the gut. They're going to. Listen, I understand they're bad. Like their wide receivers are bad.
00:18:30
Speaker
but they're still one of the most favorite teams to win the Super Bowl. So that has to account for something. Now, do I think they're gonna win the Super Bowl? I don't think they're gonna beat a team out of the NFC. I think a lot has to do with reputation, but at the same time, I mean, we're strictly speaking about DFS and I just don't feel that they could produce a tournament winning score on the road against New England.
00:18:59
Speaker
All valid. I can't argue with any of that logic. It's smart. It's smart, but. You got to go with the gut. You got to go with the gut. I kind of dig the gut play, man. The last time I had a gut play like this is when I wanted to play Josh Dobbs, and I took him out at 12.50. Not last week. Full disclosure. Full disclosure, viewers and listeners. Not last week. Not last week. It's when they played the Saints.
00:19:29
Speaker
Yep. And you know, who's playing saints this week. Before we, before we slide over to running back, can I, can I, can I have victory lap? Just, just one thing, please. Just real quick. Absolutely. When I said the bowl call last week was Desmond Ritter was going to be a top two quarterback and you might need them. You need it Lamar. Cause the Lamar stacks were hot.
00:19:54
Speaker
but right behind those Lamar stacks were those Rittler stacks. I said like, you know, you bold called it, but I wasn't against it either. Hey man, that's why it's bold here. That's why we make it bold. You know, and he came through, he came through for your boy in yearly. He came through for your boy in daily, but this week I'm not playing Desmond Ritter. I mean, I didn't get to Desmond Ritter, but I played Flacco. I played Lamar. I played Jake Browning.
00:20:23
Speaker
I was basically right there with you. But I mean, let's talk about Falcons. We are going to play as we slide over to the running back position and we get the Falcons in the run funnel known as the Carolina Panthers.
Running Back Options for Week 15
00:20:37
Speaker
Um, Bijan's finally getting the toke that we wanted. I mean, Bijan probably should have got another touchdown last week. If you know, Desmond Ritter wasn't
00:20:46
Speaker
like trash and missed him wide open for a walk in touchdown. That's neither here nor there. The only thing about this matchup for me is that A, it's on the road.
00:20:59
Speaker
And, uh, that always scares me to a certain extent. And we saw the saints really not get there last week. We saw Alvin Kamara really not get there last week. And this was sans Taysom Hill. Like we didn't even have weapon X and we thought that Kamara should walk in this matchup. They were, you know, at home favorite against this Carolina Panthers team and Carolina could muster.
00:21:21
Speaker
No offense, but then neither could the Saints. So I want to play Bijon. Bijon is going to be heavily rostered. Of course, the matchup is good. The ownership is still going to be high. But again, the opportunity for a ceiling game against Carolina is definitely present. The problem with that is that he's right below the price tier where I could get to Kyron Williams,
00:21:47
Speaker
who doesn't leave the field at all, he's guaranteed at least 25 opportunities. I mean, again,
00:21:55
Speaker
If we're talking about all the red zone carries, we're talking about a guy that's going to touch the ball that much. Like there is no Tyler Algier here. There is no Curt Arrow Patterson here. There is no threat of the run of the quarterback running it in. I mean, Kyra Williams gets everything. So I mean, if you were to pay just a little extra, I kind of want to get to Kyra in this week. And if you paid just a little extra, CMC is facing the Cardinals.
00:22:22
Speaker
So it's like, again, I don't play cash, but to the people that do listen that do play cash, I think one of those two is probably the lock for you. Because on Fandal, it's a little pricey because he's 10-5. Draft Kings, he's still a serviceable price. So it's like you lock in that many touches against this terrible Cardinals defense, and CMC is gonna run buck wild.
00:22:46
Speaker
It's just, obviously you could poke holes and damn near everybody, right? So, CMC has the Deebo problem. He has, you know, George Kittle, he has Brandon Ayuk. They have all these weapons that could literally get there. And then with Kyron, looks like Cooper Cupp is back. I mean, he had a very, he had his game last week and Pukanakua is still a thing. And like you mentioned in the quarterback section, Matt Stafford's been on a little, little bender lately.
00:23:17
Speaker
So don't forget about what is his name, Derek Allen, the tight end. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. No Tyler Higby. You got to get from Derek Allen in there. But yeah, I mean, up top, the decision this week is going to be tough. And I kind of want to get your thoughts on it. Like if you're going to this, this upper tier in price with, you know, Emmy Camara is still there as well. If you want to throw him in, but I'm not playing them. Um, where, where are you leaning towards?
High-Tier Player Dilemmas
00:23:46
Speaker
Um, I can basically at this point, this isn't going to help anybody, but I will probably have Kai, Kyren or CMC one or the other. I don't think I can jam in both. No. Um, no. So it's probably one or the other, right? Both of them are an ideal match ups. Um, you know, my only fear with CMC is again, like CMC has a lot more, uh, people he has to beat out.
00:24:17
Speaker
Kyren, not so much. They both have a pretty safe receiving floor, rushing floor. Like you said, Kyren gets about like, I mean, an obnoxious amount of opportunities a game. So I think both of them are fine. I think another interesting decision here, you know, as we're looking down in this range is like Rashad White gets there every week.
00:24:46
Speaker
He's basically CMC. It ain't as pretty, but if you go look at his stats, he gets there every week. I mean, he does. He does. I 100% agree with you. And Green Bay is susceptible to the run game. Again, the Giants were able to rush for a little bit. I know a lot of that was the veto. But again, Saquon still got there. I believe he got into the box twice.
00:25:18
Speaker
Again, he got some receiving work as well. So like, I think Rashad White is gonna kind of be an ownership play for me here. If he's coming in kind of lower than usual, especially with Bijan being right there at 6,800, you can play either one, again, there. And then like, we have to bring up James Cook. Damn right, we have to bring up James Cook. I mean, A, A,
00:25:46
Speaker
If you want to get in this bills game, James Cook is the way to do it. He was the RB two last week and he only got there or he is getting there now because he's getting receiving work, which is what they wanted out of him. It's more so that Josh Allen is not a check down type of guy, but he's creating opportunities downfield for James Cook. We saw one that receiving touchdown break through the seam and get open. I mean, James Cook now has a PPR floor.
00:26:11
Speaker
So, and people are still reluctant to play James Cook. So again, if people aren't going to, are going to take the path of least resistance and try and get into that game, they're going to probably do it with the tight ends. Um, Dalton can cave, like we mentioned, offers is questionable on a Wednesday night. So Dawson Knox might be like the chalk de jour and then Gabe Davis, everyone's hero. He is just zero, zero, 25, zero, zero,
00:26:38
Speaker
I mean, Gabe Davis is going to be heavily owned regardless of what performances he put on last week. So if you want a path that probably no one's going to take, it's probably going to be James Cook in this game. I love James Cook this week. Absolutely adore James Cook this week. So very, very solid take for me.
00:26:59
Speaker
Um, I get it. I'm with you a hundred percent. If you're looking for two pay down running backs, uh, Chuba Hubbard is declared number one in this new offense. Now, you know, they had over 200 yards rushing last game between Miles Sanders and Chuba Hubbard. Yeah. I mean, Chuba is declared number one here. And then, um, not the Foreman is back to the number one spot. I know it's not in an ideal matchup against the Browns, but, um,
00:27:29
Speaker
If you gotta, if you need to pay down and yet you gotta find savings somewhere, bro. Oh, that is so hard. You want me to find savings. You want me to say it. You want me to say it. You ain't going back to CH again, are you? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. He's on the opposite side of that ball, baby.
00:27:45
Speaker
Oh, you're no. We got Zeke. We got Zeke in the lead role. Now we got Zeke catching passes. I could just hear Baker now. We got Zeke was the dust. We got the, he hopped off the dust bus. He hopped off. Nobody get off my bus. That shit is on lockdown.
00:28:09
Speaker
I'm going to let you off. Hey, man, he made a pit stop. Uncle Lenny was sitting in the back like, I know I'm in Buffalo now, but if you want to go play, go ahead. And so he went out and balled out, man. You can't deny the opportunity that Zeke had with Nova Madre Stevenson. We're talking about, again, James Cook was in the same situation against the Chiefs last week on the road. Now we got a guy that's going to get the receiving work, that gets all the goal line work. I mean, there's no reason why we can't
00:28:36
Speaker
literally pay down with Zeke this week. I mean, he might, he might be chalk. He's chalk. He might be chalk. I think he's going to be chalk in 2023. Can you convince yourself to play Zeke chalk in the year of our Lord 2023 Zeke Elliott this past game had more PPR points than Tony Pollard in any game this year. I'm just saying.
00:29:05
Speaker
If we need to pay down, yes, I like the Chuba Hubbard call, but at the same time, I mean, we're getting a guy at home with all the opportunity on a team that could be potentially reeling right now, bro.
00:29:17
Speaker
And I already said, I already said the upset special of the week is the damn, it's over to chief's dog. Get him there. I don't think the defense is really, I think the offense is really, listen, the defense gave up 20 points. I said team, I said team, I said the team is really not the offense. The offense is really that that defense is still good. Amen. Again, James cook was the RB two last week.
00:29:43
Speaker
If you give me a similar opportunity with Zeke, cause you already know that Bailey's app, he's going to check down to the man, give him all the opportunities he can handle. I mean, I get the re the Reese's fair, but man, can I convince myself? How dare I, you can do it, bro. How dare I, you can, you can bring yourself to do it. Trust me. So you can't, you won't pay 4,300 for Jamal Williams and just pray he falls into the end zone.
00:30:12
Speaker
He had 11 carries last week. I will not do that, sir. Neither will I. I do feel like I did have to bring it up. So let's look at the pricing tier, at least on FanDuel for me. You can bring up DraftKings if you want, but Jerome Ford is fighting a wrist injury, I do believe. So I don't know if he's going to be in or out, but like Cream Hunt could be the new pay down option if
00:30:36
Speaker
for some reason drone forward sits. He's at 6400 right behind a $6500 Z. Brian Robinson missed practice today. He's at 6600 so we don't know what we're going to get from him if he's going to play. So you might get Antonio Gibson against the Rams on the road at a cheaper price point. We don't know the status of course of
00:30:57
Speaker
What's the name? Aaron Jones. So you might get AJ Dylan who no one ever wants to play and it's Tampa. So, uh, hard pass not going to do that. So, I mean, and then you just got crap after that. So, I mean, Zeke is literally like the pay down option unless you want to get a real sneaky, sneaky way into the, the Buffalo game and go Rico Dottle, doodle, doodle.
00:31:24
Speaker
for a real, but that's thin. I mean, that's been, we're talking about a guy that's getting all the opportunity, bro. It's Zeke week guy. It's Zeke week. That's fair. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Now, unless if you, if you want to convince yourself to play jerk McKinnon, you saw what nine opportunities last week and just happened to fall in the end zone. Like I'm not, I'm not sold on that. I mean, give me 16 opportunities from Zeke.
00:31:52
Speaker
I'm not. Again, I'm just going with different options. If you want to play Zeke, if you want to play Zeke, that's fine. I'm not against it. So I will say this. If CJ Stroud doesn't play, I think it's time to fire up our king.
Derrick Henry's Breakout Potential
00:32:14
Speaker
I mean, you already know. So you guys, I mean, first of all, we know what month it is. Second of all,
00:32:21
Speaker
Listen, if Tennessee gets a lead and there's no fight, they're running the ball. Like, honestly, if you want a real thin play, play Tajay Spears. I mean, that's super thin. I mean, but like, again, this guy has been doing pretty well.
00:32:44
Speaker
Uh, man, you know, heavy is the King's crown. That's why only Derek Henry is fit to wear it. But do I ever see, not ever, but do I see a hundred yard game coming out this man? I always say, because like, listen, Tennessee's defense, it's not great, but it's not bad either. And if you're giving me Davis mills, like their office is going to have so much opportunity and we know what Mike Rabel is going to do. It's going to be.
00:33:09
Speaker
forget the milk, forget the bills mafia. It's the mills mafia on Sunday. Chill dude, the mills, the mills mafia, baby mills mafia. What did Taj a spear do to my dolphins? Cause he fucking lit them up. Yeah. He had six receptions for 89 yards, 29 on the ground. Yeah. But they were in catch up mode for, you know, 99.9% of that game. I get it. But like, again, if they're going to be running a lot,
00:33:36
Speaker
again, super thin, like if you need to just, you need to jam somebody in. I mean, I know this is a brown shirt, but this is actually Derek Henry's name, the big dog. So I mean, I'm with you. I'm with you.
Tyreek Hill's Injury Concerns
00:33:51
Speaker
Let's go ahead and slide over to our receiver real quick, where we have a couple of question marks, obviously with Tyreek Hill and his injury, but it's kind of
00:33:59
Speaker
It's kind of rough sledding for Tyree kill in this matchup only because the Jets defense likes to mute damn near everybody that goes against them. Um, they did get them on the black Friday game. Admittedly, both wide receivers, both wide receivers did tear them up on the black Friday game, but this is going to be a headed. No, this in Miami, isn't it? Yes, sir. So, but the thing is, it's like that offense did not look great, not look great. So it didn't, but like, again,
00:34:30
Speaker
Um, you know, Miami is my team and like two was like Brock Purdy. If you take away the MVP of our team, which is Tyree kill. Um, obviously that's going to be a huge, uh, hole to, uh, to fill. So like, if they at least can game plan for that in the practice, um, I think they're going to look better. Um, I also think it was a wake up call for them, but, um,
00:34:58
Speaker
We didn't mention them, but if Tyree Kill is ruled out, I think one of the running one of the Miami running backs. Because like to a missed H on on a 60 hour. Yeah. So like one of those two boys is going to get there because the way to beat the Jets is on the ground. I mean, Miami did it through the air that listen, every great defense has an outlier game.
00:35:27
Speaker
I'll chalk that up to the outlier. But again, if Tyreke's in, I don't think you need one of the running backs. Obviously, this game's in Miami. Miami is the, they are the Dallas Cowboys of the AFC for now.
00:35:45
Speaker
Cowboys are trying to break that shine in Buffalo for now. Hey, if the Cowboys can win in Buffalo, then, then I got to take the title away from the dolphins. I mean, they didn't kind of shellac the Eagles too. So I mean, I know I agree, but yes, Buffalo is the litmus test. I completely agree with you, but you are plus like one Oh seven at home and plus 17 on the road.
00:36:12
Speaker
Right, right. So again, that's why we mentioned it was a big game for both. But, um, no, again, you're looking at wide receivers here. Um, you know, again,
00:36:23
Speaker
CD lamb this week kind of speaks for itself I do love me some CD kind of more inclined to play CD over Tyreke for right now because of the injury concerns I was actually gonna say so let me let me give you let me give you a choice let's call Tyreke Hill in Tyreke Hill is a full go we're good okay out of this upper tier
Top Wide Receiver Debates
00:36:46
Speaker
this upper tier of receivers pricing-wise, of course, who would you select? Because, again, with pricing the way it is and us wanting to either jam CMC or Kyron in, so it's going to eat up a lot of that salary. I mean, there are paid-on options running back like we discussed, of course, but you can only take one of these guys.
00:37:05
Speaker
Who are you taking? I give you Tyreek Hill, CD lamb, Steph Diggs, Cooper cup. I'll give you Cooper cup slash. How about that? And let's throw Deebo in there. And of course, Mike Evans, because Mike Evans is Mike Evans is when he's not being guarded by AJ Terrell, even though he gets Jair Alexander this year, this week. Wait, is that your exhaling healthy?
00:37:28
Speaker
Uh, I guess we got to see, uh, that might be like a wait and see. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um, okay. I'll take Mike Evans out of that conversation then. So those five guys, who are you going with? Uh, CD lamp. Um, listen, if the Cowboys want to break this, this snide they got on the road, like they're not doing it via the run. If they do it, if they do it with Tony Pollard, that's an outlier. Like that's a total outlier. And I doubt it.
00:37:58
Speaker
Um, if they're going to get it done on the ground here, um, you know, it's going to be, it's going to be with CD lamb and CD lamb, $700 cheaper than Tyreke. Um, obviously Tyreke has a more break the slate to him than CD lamb, but. CD lamb has broken his fair share of slate, sir. Um, he has, but I mean, and if we're going to go with, um, give me the better quarterback DAX better right now than Tua. Um,
00:38:28
Speaker
you know, obviously he's the MVP favorite. I'm going to, I'm going to go with Dak as well. Are you going to say that Barack Purdy? No, it's just that one place where America's team and the other one doesn't. All right. That's fair. I mean, also like, also like Brock Purdy has the much better weapons than Dak.
00:38:54
Speaker
Yeah. Not to take that away from Purdy. That's not Purdy's fault. But I mean, at this point, it's just like, you know, Dax, like MVP candidacy comes down to this game against the Bills and the game against the Dolphins. Strictly winning. It's winning. Period. And then Brock Purdy on Christmas Day on Monday Night Football is going up against the Ravens at San Francisco.
00:39:24
Speaker
So that's kind of where this race goes. Because if they're even, Rock Purdy beat that ass. So he should win. But we all know, we all know, one place for the Dallas Cowboys.
00:39:41
Speaker
This is true. And I mean, it's, those match-ups are going to come down to, uh, seeding as well, because I mean, if San Francisco keeps winning and you know, Philly accidentally drops the game and Dallas accidentally drops the game, they might be in a position where they could be like done with the number one seed here in a few weeks. Philadelphia, Philadelphia, I understand they lost and they're going to be pissed off, but they have the biggest trap game right now with that game getting moved to Monday night football.
00:40:07
Speaker
we're not going to sit here and act like Philadelphia secondary can cover DK Metcalf or Tyler Lockett. I got news for you. I agree with this tag. If you tell me Seattle is going to win that game. If Geno Smith is healthy, actually it doesn't matter if Geno Smith doesn't matter. No, that is me. That matters. If Geno is healthy, I'm
00:40:33
Speaker
I'm with you. Hey, you can't take away how July look. He looked serviceable. He didn't look bad. He didn't look bad.
00:40:42
Speaker
He did not look bad in the year of backup quarterback starting. Right? I mean, as long as DK Metcalf doesn't get ejected, they should be aight. Yeah, but Shanahan came out and said like, that's a thing that they do because they know DK Metcalf can't keep his emotions under rep. You talking about the Draymond Green of the NFL? Dude Draymond, I wasn't trying to punch him in the face. Like who tries to get a penalty by doing this?
00:41:07
Speaker
Brother, that's, I love Dream Out Green, that's my homie. But anyway, yes, I, again, separate from the main slate, yes, I think Seattle's gonna win that game. But yeah, as far as elite receivers go, I got news for you, chill. It's finally Steph Diggs week. It's finally here. After the long drought,
00:41:32
Speaker
The long drought of weak performances from this man. This is the week of Stefan Diggs. When everybody's going to zig to zero points or 25 points, Gabe Davis, and people are going to try and find a cheap way in. I implore you.
00:41:49
Speaker
to go the more expensive route and select yourself some Stefan Diggs this week. I think this is the week, I don't think that anyone can cover him as good as the Dallas Cowboys defense has been, as good as Deron Bland has been, he's a gambler. Just like Stefan Diggs' brother, he's a cousin, cousin, cousin.
00:42:09
Speaker
is a gambler. All they do is jump. Yo, Stefan Diggs can roast this team one on one, just like DK Metcalf was getting in that ass on that Thursday night game that we saw. I think we can see a similar performance at a depressed, suppressed ownership percentage for Stefan Diggs. And it's going to be a rare pairing because it's going to be
00:42:32
Speaker
Top priced QB, Josh Allen, use one of fit in one of those running backs and you try to fit in one of these alpha receivers. Whereas I don't think a lot of people are willing to do that this week. So again, I think it's a, I think.
00:42:47
Speaker
You know, personal opinion of mine might be biased because I'm a Bills fan, but at the same time, I think it's a Stephon Diggs week, man. They've been winning without him doing well, though. So that may continue. Is there more obligated in this offense that they're running to check it down, to go short? The thing that will help that will help Steph Diggs in this game is that Buffalo moves him around. Sometimes he's outside. Sometimes he's in the slot. So like,
00:43:13
Speaker
They'll be able to keep him away from Blanding Gilmore. For as much as, like, everybody said Stefon Gilmore had a great game, like, AJ Brown still caught 10 balls, I think.
Mid-Tier Wide Receiver Spotlight
00:43:27
Speaker
Like, you just didn't get in the box. Sure. So, like, I don't hate to take it all. I'm going to go through some wide receivers here with you. And you tell me if they're going to be chalk or not chalk.
00:43:44
Speaker
Based on this, Garrett Wilson. Yes. No, no, no, no. We're, we're going to go. We're going lower than Garrett Wilson. Okay. So we can get on the cheap end. Cause I was going to say my favorite mid price receiver is Garrett Wilson. Zach Wilson goes to one dude, two dudes, Tyler Conklin and Garrett Wilson. So, uh, Jaden Reed, 4,900. These are draft games prices. Chalk. Okay. The resurrection, the hand out the ground, the Marcus Robinson at two, two Atwell is out.
00:44:15
Speaker
Oh, he's 3600 against the commanders. I shock. One Dale Robinson. 3700. Hmm. And then the pot and then the possible return of the Mario Douglas. Oh, Pop Douglas is back. The I think he may still be in concussion. Don't quote me on that. But he may be he may be back.
00:44:44
Speaker
Hmm. I'm going to have to also Jalen Haya is 3,200. I was going to say one of these giant receivers are definitely going to be chalk. I don't know if it's going to be one. And then Jonathan Mingo, 3,900. I'm playing as dude.
00:45:03
Speaker
He's going to be chalk again. Stop it. He's going to, he's going to be chalk. Stop it. Stop it. Hey, listen, you, the listeners do not play Jonathan Mingo. Stop it. Oh, volume is king. Blah, blah, blah. You know, targets, man. If they don't mean anything, how many wide open touchdowns do you have to miss this man by to realize that he's not a good play? He may be a good player, but at the same time,
00:45:28
Speaker
He still needs to be able to catch the ball. This is the week of value, fam. You're gonna be uncomfortable somewhere. Would you rather have a receiver that's catching the ball from Bryce Young or- Well, Tommy DeVito. I mean, come on. They give me the Giants, guys. Give me Hyatt or Juan Dale at the cheap end then. But are they gonna be chalky? Debatable. Debatable.
00:45:56
Speaker
Listen, I mean, like, you got to get uncomfortable somewhere. I mean, because like you said, we've got to save some loot. I mean, if you want to get really off the chain, you just play Nick Westbrook, Ikea me, right? Thirty four. Stop, dude. That is not going to happen. I mean, if these Texans guys are out like you play like Jonathan Menchie.
00:46:24
Speaker
I mean, I feel more comfortable playing Noah Brown, but at the same time, after he's 5k, I get 5k in these lineups. I guess you go Josh Allen digs and CD you broke. First of all, I would not, the two alphas together.
00:46:47
Speaker
is going to be able to eliminate CMC. That eliminates CMC. If I put CD lamb and step digs with Josh Allen, you would do that in hopes that that CMC doesn't get into the box. If he doesn't get into the box, you're golden.
00:47:03
Speaker
If he gets into the box, you're probably dead. I think we have to play that. I think we have to play the slate as if the 49ers offense will be spread out. So like I gets his six and 90 maybe gets in the end zone. CMC gets his obligatory 100 falls in the end zone, but he doesn't kill you. You know, Deebo gets his rushing touchdown. Kittle, whatever. He's been phased in and out the offense. You know, whatever you need is for George Kittle to break the slate.
00:47:33
Speaker
and you're fine. George Kittle has like three receiving touchdowns again for no reason. Then you're good. At 2% ownership? That's fair. That's fair. Because nobody's going to play a high price tight end this week, not if you're trying to jam in all that nonsense.
00:47:49
Speaker
These are facts. These are facts. Um, not really anybody else of note that I want to kind of call out, uh, at Y receiver. So, I mean, I think I'm safe to move on. Oh, oh, oh, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill. Jesus Smith shoots the revenge game.
00:48:12
Speaker
He said he was in back to back revenge games. And what are you doing? The first game chill. Did he, did he have a nice day in the first game? I think he did. So I'm just saying, if we're trying to pull this upset, someone's going to have to produce will be Juju and the revenge.
Tight End Strategy Session
00:48:29
Speaker
I could get behind that play. If pop Douglas is out.
00:48:35
Speaker
I think Wednesday night. Well, we can wait and see. Right. Yeah. Cause like Juju at 3600, it's not, not the worst. Tell you, man, if you got the revenge highlight, I might have to play you.
00:48:52
Speaker
Okay. Uh, let's slide over the tight end real quick then. Um, Travis cozy. Of course, most of it's a tight end on a slate. Don't play him. No point. Um, except for chill, of course. Cause he wants to, he wants to get in the weeds with the chiefs. I'm going to get my galaxy brain, the shit out of this.
00:49:08
Speaker
That's fine. Trey McBride's back in our lives. So if you're going to play a San Francisco 49er, of course you might be thinking about the mini stack with running Trey McBride. Trey McBride is pretty inevitable at this point. We saw David and Joku come off a career game last week behind Joe Flacco, but gets a tough matchup against Chicago. George Kittle, like you said, still going to be low on because no one wants to pay up a tight end this week. And I think the sweet spot for tight end this week is going to be where we're going to be headed to next is this
00:49:35
Speaker
this range of the mid-tier. So like Dalton Kincaid, of course, still has that shoulder injury, but he may or may not play. Again, if he doesn't play, that means his backup Dawson Knox is probably going to be the chalk at damn near men price. I mean, is he a good play at that point? I think he's more so of a good fade at that point. But again, Wednesday night, injury reports have to come out. We'll see what happens. My favorite tight end is actually on the opposite side of the ball. And that's going to be Jake the Snake.
00:50:03
Speaker
We saw Jake snake get very heavily involved. He let that team receiving last game. I mean, he's a heavy red zone target. He had a red zone play design strictly for him. Uh, that, that, that, that did not connect on him. Um, the last game they played, I mean, he's red zone threat, midfield threat. And he's, you saw his little attitude last game. He's got that dog in them too. So, and he's still affordable right now. So I think my favorite tight end play on the slate is Jake the snake.
00:50:31
Speaker
And again, you want to get in this Dallas Buffalo game. I think this is a great way to do it. I mean, right now, the chalkiest tight end on the slate. Is redacted. Dude, he's back. Which would be kind of. So taking a look here and I just want to take a look at something really quick as I do this. Bear with me.
00:51:01
Speaker
Sound like I'm at work. I mean, you can always play. You can always play Tyler Conklin, the other person that Zach Wilson throws to. Right. The offense goes to three people. Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson and Tyler Conklin. Yeah. So, I mean, at this rate, your three chockeys, tight ends are Pitts, Kate Otten and Tyler Conklin. Dude, it's Tyler Conklin. Let's go.
00:51:28
Speaker
So your best value tight end right now is trade McBride, but he kind of comes in pretty, pretty pricey. Um, I think my favorite tight end this week, um, it's Tucker craft at three K. Why did I, why did I think, why did I know you were going to say that? That's so weird. Um, I mean, we like Tampa Bay is not very good against tight ends. So Kyle Pitts kind of get wet last week, dude.
00:51:57
Speaker
And without this, like, again, like with Aaron Jones out, like they're going to rely more on Jordan Love and in the highest point total game and the early only window might have to get in there. It's so that's so pathetic. But I mean, it's tough sled in one a.m. or one p.m. It's tough sledding. I mean, again, he's three K. So like I totally get
00:52:27
Speaker
kind of look at it. Um, you always got our boy Chig 2900. Screw Chig. Yeah. I mean, if I'm going to play some Will Lewis this week, which I probably will, I think I'll just tack on Chig with a Nook and kind of call it a day. I mean, it helps you jam in the alphas. It does. It does. So if, uh,
00:52:54
Speaker
If CJ Stroud is ruled out, you're not going to have a bring back in that lineup, are you? I can play John Michi for cheap. Don't do that. I'm just saying. It's going to help you. I got to put the rest of these guys in, Joe. I got to do something. You play Wandale at that point. Jalen Hyatt.
00:53:19
Speaker
You might be right. No, listen, I mean, this week, if you're not trying to get in three of these alphas, your lineup is going to be balanced, but you're going to be really uncomfortable. Or you jam in three of them and you pray to God your $4,400 wide receiver can get you 10 points.
00:53:44
Speaker
Yeah,
Low Ownership and Upside: Travis Kelsey
00:53:45
Speaker
I agree. I mean, like, like, like to your point earlier, this is probably going to be the absolute lowest ownership you will ever get on Travis. Cause no one will go there. It is way too damn pricey. And if anybody again at the tight end position in years past,
00:54:01
Speaker
Can't break a slate, it is Travis Kosey. 100% agree with that take. But with Travis Kosey, you're sacrificing something else. Those Travis Kosey lineups won't have step digs, won't have CMC, won't have CD lamb, won't have guys like that. So again, it makes your roster construction completely flipped, where if you're not gonna say, I'm gonna stay in the mid tier. So let's say you have a little mini stack like Zeke and Kelsey, which is feasible on this slate.
00:54:32
Speaker
then that automatically changes up your roster construction to what everyone else is going to do. So to your point, and I'm agreeing with you here, if you do go that route, that makes sense because you're getting off everybody else. But at the same time, that could flip right back on its head because there are guys, especially at four o'clock,
00:54:56
Speaker
on the East Coast that can put you straight to sleep. We could look at all the guys in the four o'clock window that could put you to sleep. CMC, Deebo, maybe Brandon Ayuk. I don't think anybody else from the Cardinals is really gonna put you to sleep truthfully. Josh Allen, Steph Diggs,
00:55:25
Speaker
I think that's about it from Buffalo. Gabe Davis is so... Gabe Davis puts you to bed and you know this. If he's chalk, if he's chalk, he can put you to bed. If he's not chalk, you're fine. Bro, people are going to play the shit out of Gabe Davis this week. You know this. This is DFS, bro. You know this. This is going to be where we turn the cards and he's 20%, even though everybody else in the industry had him an eight.
00:55:50
Speaker
Oh yeah, absolutely. Oh, this is going to be a sneaky play this week. There's a girl. You've got to get some game day. That's zero last week. No one's going to trust them. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 20%. And then, uh, uh, so CD. So we're at seven, we're at seven guys that can put you to sleep. Uh, Kyra Williams, Cooper cup and Pooka Nakua all could put you to sleep. Oh, Karen can definitely put you to bed. Oh, so I got 10 guys in the four o'clock window that could put you to sleep. But
00:56:20
Speaker
but Travis Kelsey in the one o'clock window could make some late swap options real realistic because Travis Kelsey can definitely put that ass to bed. Because if Travis Kelsey goes 103, what are you going to do?
00:56:38
Speaker
You're dead. You're dead. I mean, simple as that. You're dead. So, that makes you have to get off the chalk of your pieces in the late windows. So, yes, I agree. If you're going to take a stab at somebody in the early window,
00:56:53
Speaker
I would say at the tight end position is probably Travis Kosey. I don't recommend paying for him because I never played Travis Kosey. I never either, but this is weak. This is the old gut. This is the old gut. You know what? For you, Chill, I'm loading up one Travis Kosey lineup just for one, just for you.
00:57:15
Speaker
I'm sorry that I took food off the table. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I want to put it. I want to put that ass in a flex so I can still pay down a tight end. But we'll see. We'll see. It's Wednesday night. It's Wednesday night. Let's hit defense real quick. I don't have any strong convictions other
Defense Picks for Week 15
00:57:34
Speaker
than that. If I feel that my conviction is correct, that I'm going to pay all the way down at defense and just play the Patriots.
00:57:44
Speaker
I can't argue against it. They've been playing really well. Yeah. Other than that, I mean, defense, defense, it is what it is. So, I mean, I'm looking at like these backup quarterbacks, like, you know, picking up green Bay last week, didn't bode well against time to veto time to veto, kind of lit them up. So it's like, I wouldn't go back to that. Well, with the play in the saints, even though they're a solid defense, but
00:58:08
Speaker
I just can't see it this week. You need opportunity. If you want to convince yourself to play Buffalo's defense or the Dallas Cowboys defense? Sure. Sure. You want to convince yourself that one of those defenses could shut down the other quarterback? Because we've seen Dak be turnover prone in the past. We know Josh Allen is turnover prone.
00:58:33
Speaker
Again, if you want to build, if you want to build yourself a story that says, again, and you're fading one half of the game and you're praying.
00:58:44
Speaker
fair. See, that's the thing about it. That's, I feel like we could be in the James Winston conundrum right here because we all know the Deron Bland story. He leads the league and pick sixes NFL record, et cetera, et cetera. And Josh Allen has a interception in six straight games. We could tell ourselves the story that the Buffalo bills hang 35 on the Cowboys. However, one of those interceptions going that way.
00:59:09
Speaker
You could tell yourself that story. So in the same lineup, you could say Josh Allen is going to fling it all around the yard. But at the same time, although it's not recommended, you could play the Dallas defense against Josh Allen. You can do that. I mean, I agree. I mean, honestly, I know this entire kill doesn't play. I think you have to take a look at the Jets defense.
00:59:37
Speaker
I think that that's a fine play. That might be end up. That could be chalk at 2500. But honestly, like I know this isn't great advice, but at the end of the day, play would fit. Yeah, yeah, of course. Absolutely. Like, I don't really have a strong conviction.
00:59:52
Speaker
the Browns finally got bumped up. Unfortunately, can't just play them at their 3K price as usual. Yeah, that's true. I mean, what about what about the Titans defense? What about the Titans defense against against the Mills Mafia on DK? They're 3700. Well, they are 4400 on FanDuel too, which probably keep the ownership suppressed. If if
01:00:19
Speaker
If, uh, if Davis Mills plays, then I'm probably chalking. I'm a fan though. Hey, was that the, oh, was that your dog barking at the background? Did we get, did we get your dog's approval for the Titans defense? I mean, it kind of sounds like it. Do we got to lock it? Do we got to lock in the Titans defense? We got the dog bark. Yeah. I mean, the dog's name is buddy and buddy was kind of hot. Maybe he's a Titans fan. Hey man. Hey, you're already like, you're already like Derek Henry. I mean,
01:00:49
Speaker
I mean, at this point, I'm DK. If I'm talking in defense, it's probably the Rams defense at 3100. We know Sam Hall is going to try and sling it everywhere that games in L.A. Is that correct? I don't I don't remember. Oh, no, I lost sound. I did not hear you.
01:01:18
Speaker
It's because I muted myself. Ah, there we go. I had never something like what the hell did I hit? Yeah. Lips removing and I wasn't coming out. That's, that's, that's on me, bro. That's on me. You're good. You're good. The commies are going to the Rams. Yeah. So again, you want to play Kyron and the Rams defense. You want to go old school DFS.
01:01:41
Speaker
Stack up the running back with the defense. Yeah. I don't really think that's a thing anymore, but I still do it. I still do it. I don't force it, but I do still do it. I mean, again, we know the commanders want to come in. They're going to throw the ball 30 to 40 times. Rams defense. Again, not great, but not horrible either.
01:02:07
Speaker
Facts. Facts. I agree. They couldn't, they couldn't contain Lamar, but not a lot of teams do. So, I mean, I get it. I get exactly where you're coming from. I mean, then again, they lost on a punt return. Right. So. They play well. They play, they play just enough. That's what happens when you get the triple team Aaron Donald. Oh, right. And get OBJ wide open. I think, I think a lot of people forget because they like, they obviously weren't like a huge talk, but like Sean McVay is a really good coach.
01:02:34
Speaker
Yeah. I think he kind of gets lost in the shuffle. Without question. 100% agree. 100% agree.
01:02:41
Speaker
Um, guys, if you haven't done so, just make sure you hit that like and subscribe on the way out. Don't forget to share this podcast download. Let's put it in your pocket. As we always do as a custom on the DFS deli, we are going to hit you with that one bold take. We got bold takes that came to fruition last week. So let's see if we can, uh, let's see if we can get a few out the park chill before we get out here and close up the shop. Give me something bold. Give me something that the people can.
01:03:05
Speaker
can marinate on stew on for the next few days. Well, we're going to, we're going to go with the gut. We're going to go Travis. Kelsey is going for over 30 DK points.
01:03:28
Speaker
You know what? It's bold, and I shouldn't have hit you with it. Ain't no fucking way, boy. But you know, I like it. So I like it. I like it. I take back what I said. I mean, the other bold take was Tommy DeVito goes for 102 on the ground. Bro. Did you imagine Tommy Cutlet's getting the rushing bonus on DK? Holy crap.
01:03:49
Speaker
That would be insane. I love it, though. I love it. I love it. My bowl take, obviously, is going to be referring back to the receiver call, like I said, with Steph Diggs. I think Steph Diggs is the wide receiver one on the week. Let's say to the tune, the nice guitar tune of nine catches, vintage Steph Diggs, nine catches, a buck 20, and he finds the box twice.
01:04:16
Speaker
That's that's going to be the ball call and and I'm attack on to that. Not in the same game, of course, but I'm still going to stick with it. The New England Patriots beat the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Get those money lines in, get those parlays in, add them up. Patriots this Sunday, baby. Check it out. And I hope it's on a ref penalty that that cost them a possession. That'll be hilarious. I hope the referees have something to do with it.
01:04:44
Speaker
Just saying, just saying.
01:04:47
Speaker
But as always, man, hopefully we'll see you guys on Saturday. I am finally off work. Don't have to work this Saturday. So hopefully I can squeeze something in to get you guys a final look, a contrarian show before the Sunday main slate goes on. Good luck in your fantasy playoffs to everybody that's in. Good luck to your best ball teams if you've advanced and good luck on your Saturday slates because I already know you degenerates out there are going to be gambling on Saturday as well. So for Baker,
01:05:15
Speaker
for Dale and for my main man Chill. This has been the DFS Deli. We're going to get in close up the shop and of course, we'll see you all at the top. Thanks for listening. Peace.
