Now that Lions-Cardinals slate was a little bit different because I don't know if you guys, I'm sure you guys, I know you guys remember this. There was no other games anywhere close within like ten points.

I think it was like Packers Bears started creeping up and that's actually I think what you ended up needing and that was the stack that Tambo you were on but we do have other spots uh that are appealing from a fantasy perspective another big game total in Atlanta sitting at fifty um but the pieces are a little more expensive I'd say overall you can get some of these little cheaper pieces in the the Lions and Packers with the the tight ends being cheap we have some wide receivers that are a little cheaper so um yeah it is going to dictate the

Entire slate but it's definitely at quarterback I mean you look at the quarterback position Jordan Love is going to be one of the highest or is going to be the highest owned quarterback um and then golf is going to get some ownership too so you're looking like a lot of ownership at the quarterback position there but what's the one thing we know about quarterback we beat it to death we talk about it every single Week ownership always gets spread out so it's not even if you do like those guys it's not to a point where it's like man I gotta fadeFadeTo fade a player is to leave him out of your lineups on purpose, usually because you expect him to be popular or you think he is a poor play.Fade with a reason, not a feeling. If you can't say why a popular player will disappoint, you're probably just giving away points.Read the full definition of Fade them you know, we have love at like, like, that's less than one-fifth the lineup, so it's like, you can still play love,

Even though he is getting a good chunk of ownership, Jerry Goff, much lower owned in that game, but getting ownership, so, Quarterback, it just remains undefeated, where even if you think someone's going to get super popular, it just never, ever happens. So if you like Jordan Love on this slate, fire away at Jordan Love. So that's the one thing I will say. But there's other quarterbacks that we can talk about. Running back position. To me, it's been pretty similar like all season.

We have a couple of high-priced guys that are in good spots and then a lot of like six-K-ish guys that are pretty appealing. Same thing here today. We got Jameer Gibbs. We got McCaffrey. We got Bijan. Then we got guys like Woods Marks. We can now add Braylon Allen to the list of solid mid-tier running backs with Brees Hall being ruled out, Chubb Hubbard, Bucky Irving. A lot of guys we can play here.

It seems like it's been very similar all season. A few high price guys, a chunk of guys in the $6,000 range that look very appealing and, you know, ownership. I guess the one that probably gets the most is going to be McCaffrey. And that's kind of what we're showing as well, just because he got back to catching a shit ton of passes and they don't have any wide receivers this Week, which we'll talk about in that game.

So he's going to, end up getting the most. And I think it's another situation with Jameer Gibbs, who's clearly just the best running back in football. Ownership is going to come down on him because he's got the big boy price tag and there's a lot of other appealing options. So that's a very important talking point, I think, as we go through the show, Jameer Gibbs and what happens there. Wide receiver, we have some cheap options with the Tampa Bay situation with Ibuka being ruled out.

They'll get a majority of the cheapish ownership. And then what's everyone going to want to do when they spend? They're probably going to want to hit up the Lions Packers. So that's an important talking point. Get to tight end. George Kittle going to be very popular with all those forty Niners wide receivers out. And then you got LaPorta and Tucker Kraft in that Green Bay Detroit game where people are going to go. So.

Again, like Detroit Green Bay is going to dictate a lot of ownership on the slate. It's going to dictate a lot of roster construction, but there is other spots. So I think it's a nice situation where if you like Detroit Green Bay, you can still play it. We just taught, you know, Jameer Gibbs is a perfect example of that game. Like, when are we going to get Jameer Gibbs at maybe sub-twenty percent? We're showing it right around twenty.

When push comes to shove, it could be high teens. So that's a situation to attack both quarterbacks in that game. Getting owned but not to the point where it's like man it's too much I got to stay away so we got a really good dynamic slate and you know we'll get into it more obviously when we go game by game and find some situations to attack here on the slate Yeah, I did listen to it all.

I was reading your shirt at the same time. I didn't even realize your hoodie until now said Green Bay sucks, which is awesome for when we get to that game later. But I like how you broke it down. I don't think I can do a better job of it. It's more the last part to me of what you said. And we'll get to that, especially because the first game title that we're going to get into with you is forty Niners and Falcons.

But a lot of what's going on in the you know, the Ted Hurst stuff when we get to it in the third game, the George Kittle stuff, the McCaffrey, all that stuff dictates the lineups that just fit Green Bay, Detroit. So I don't know how people are going to be playing it, but I think there's going to be some spots where whether you like it or not, if some things bust in the early morning, you kind of know where everybody is going.

If someone has Ted Hurst, it's very common for them to have a Jameer Gibbs or that game stackGame StackIn the NFL, a game stack usually combines a quarterback, one or two of his pass catchers and one or more players from the opposing offense.Target games where the spread is close as well as the total high. A high total with a lopsided spread can turn into a blowout where only one side keeps scoring.Read the full definition of Game Stack or something around that, that gets in there versus on its own. So I think it's just going to be a fun one to break down, but I'll start with you title. We'll get right to it. Forty Niners at the Falcons. We know about CMC's ownership. We know about George Kittle ownership, no Mike Evans, no Debo, et cetera.

But the more interesting thing to me is that Pete, Bijan broke everyone's hearts last Week and they're all just ready to go right back at $8,500 bucks at home against the forty Niners, et cetera, et cetera. But give us your thoughts here on this first game. Yeah, it shows that pricing is relatively tight on DraftKings. Like the Gibbs, like that savings you get from Bijan to Gibbs is hitting optimals and going to raise ownershipOwnershipOwnership is the percentage of lineups in a contest that include a given player. Projected ownership is an estimate made before lock; actual ownership is posted once the contest locks.Ownership isn't something to avoid; it's something to build around. The goal is understanding how the field is likely to build, then finding your edge relative to that.Read the full definition of Ownership quite a bit.

I'm hoping that people in Moonwalks back a little bit because people get scared and there are so many options. I'm going to go right back to them. I mean, last Week, the game flow was just so bad. And obviously they came back. The final score won't show it. But the Bears jumped out to such a big lead. I mean, they almost threw in the towel. And they had Drake London and stuff out, but they didn't have Bijan for the drive.

And then they had to just throw the ball and it just was the worst script for him. So yeah, I mean, they're implied for twenty four points. It's a two point spread at home. So I'm going right back to Bijan. He's still one of the most talented in the game. He can catch a lot of dump offs, I think, in this matchup. McCaffrey, nothing bad to say about him.

And kind of like Hoops said, these guys are getting ownership, but ownership's relatively spread out, I guess, in the sense of like no one's shown to be above fifty percent ownership or anything on the slateSlateA slate in DFS is the set of games, races, fights or tournament rounds covered by a contest. It determines which events your player selections can come from and which performances count toward your score.Before building, open the contest details and check the included events, scoring period and lock rules. Do not assume two sites offer identical slates just because both call them the main slate.Read the full definition of Slate like that. So McCaffrey, like a little under forty, I can get forty five or fifty percent McCaffrey. They're just so beat up at the skill position.

That's why George Kittle and McCaffrey, the whole offense is going to run through them and they're implied for twenty seven points. So It's chalky, but McCaffrey, Bijan, Kittle, I do prefer using them in at least like to at least two of them in non-Jordan Love or Detroit stuff. Because once you plug in Jordan Love to Matthews Golden, then McCaffrey and Kittle, you're just going down the same path. So it's good chalkChalkChalk is the most popular, highly owned play on a slate. The term comes from sports betting, where the favorite is called the chalk.Don't label chalk good or bad. Ask whether each popular play deserves its ownership, then decide which chalk you'll eat and which you'll fade.Read the full definition of Chalk, but I would be conscious on how you use them with the rest of your lineup.

If you're doing a lower own stack, a quarterback and all that, sure, George Kittle looks great. And I do like two tight end lineups quite a bit this Week due to the tighter pricing. And that's the one position like wide receiver. When you're dumpster diving, they do not match up at all compared to those tight ends that you're looking at in the $3,000 range.

Just so the route Person particip participation, man, like I said, I definitely am still drunk a little bit, but definitely I didn't even realize hoop shirt until you said that. So yeah, not fully locked in, but yeah. DFS, I'll figure it out. Two tight end lineups. I'm going to play a good amount of kiddo. Bijan and McCaffrey, I'm definitely going right back to it.

And then, yeah, because I'm doing that, both quarterbacks are definitely going to be in my pool at low ownership as well. And you definitely can. And I almost want to pair McCaffrey and Bijan with the quarterbacks since they do have a lot of pass catching ability. And Bijan, too, like a screen can go sixty yards. Penix didn't even have to really do anything. So, yeah, I like this game quite a bit to kick it off. Yeah, lots of good stuff.

I think the last part, particularly interesting, some of my morning stuff today, just the last run, I was waiting on the Brees Hall and the Puka news. We got it a little bit early. We'll get to it later, but just to note it, that it sounds like Brees Hall is unlikely to play.

So that talks about, you know, who mentioned earlier with Braylon Allen, another guy that comes into play that also can pull away from some of these other upper tier running backs, just to be clear as well, because, you know, that was in, you know, before we have Woods Marks, who we'll get to later, but now with the Braylon Allen thing being, potential piece there that's something and then obviously puka Likely to go now again not sure what that means for if it's a big puka day but it obviously affects some of the other things on this slate brings another stud at $8,400 again we'll get to that later on but the stuff I was gonna say hoop this morning that I was running was going

To a little bit of this you know Penix London pits with using like how can we use the chalkiest guys on the forty Niners in a different way and to me that's part of it so I'm not um advocating that everybody should do it but I'm thinking about from a game theory perspective and on this slate and how I'm handling it I do think there is some interest here like Drake London is not really getting any ownership at $7,500 he might get ten to twelve to thirteen whatever he ends up at but it's not much so if people are playing bijan and they want that stuff on the other side I also think hoop just give me your take on this we could see the first forty Niners letdown of the season here.

It's look, we know why the guys are chalky because they're just banged up everywhere. The total still looks good for them on the road. But I don't know. It's an interesting spread to me. What do you think? Yeah, I don't hate that call. I mean, the forty-Niners just rolling right now. Falcons been up and down and coming off an ass-kicking. I know the score last Week indicates it was a close game. It was not a close game. Falcons were down by three touches.

They're down by like twenty-four in that game against the Bears. So they're coming off what I would consider an ass-kicking. So it does seem like the typical NFL... Sort of let down spot West Coast going to East Coast one team rolling one team coming off the home team coming off a loss where they got beat up pretty good. So I could see it in terms of DFS like the individual plays here are great like McCaffrey phenomenal.

I mean they have nobody and we saw it last Week like. You know, the number of carries we're spot on with in that showdownShowdown (Captain and MVP)NFL Showdown lets you select players from one football game, including eligible quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, tight ends, kickers and team defenses. Your Captain or MVP receives the contest's scoring multiplier.Compare complete lineups with different players in the multiplier slot. Leaving salary unused can reduce duplication, but do not sacrifice meaningful scoring potential just to make your lineup unusual.Read the full definition of Showdown game, like they're not going to give him a ton of carries. But with these guys out, they have to give him a ton of looks in the passing game. So he's just a phenomenal play at that price tag. George Kittle with everyone out. Phenomenal play. B. John Robinson.

And the one thing that you kind of talked about is how even coming off a bust like people are willing to go back to these running I think it's just the top running backs in the NFL like uh in everyone's eyes it doesn't matter like what they did the Week before they're so good bijan you know one play seventy yards so they they get the free pass for sure and probably and you know I would say rightfully so I think these guys are so elite so he's great play Drake London's a great play and I don't know like I love them all individually.

I'm going to play a ton of them, but like, I just, I don't know, like there's no way to really get different. If you're playing these guys, like these are the four best individual plays in the game. The only thing I will say only way I'm looking at playing this, not differently, but just playing it in a way with some lower ownership is Brock Purdy like continues just to always come in at like five percent owned. And it's probably the case today.

We're showing seven. He's been the best quarterback in the NFL. They're projected to score twenty six. I want to be overweight on Brock Purdy today. Yeah, I like this too. I'm never the betting guy. You guys know this, but the anytime touchdown for London today, I really liked that one. I think this is the spot right here. So, um, you know, that's good. The one thing I'll say a couple of just ways that you guys covered it. I mean, this is a great spot.

Like you said, for these San Francisco guys, particularly, I think a couple of ways to get different. One is if you also want to slice and dice the Bijan ownership, if you're going to play Bijan and no, San Francisco guy. I think you just get away with playing. If you're hoping for that letdown spot, play the Falcons D with Bijan at $2,200 bucks. If you're not on those San Francisco guys, makes a ton of sense to me from that perspective.

Again, certain type of lineup that you're in. But just think about it when you're out there building. And then on the other side, I guess I'm still getting some Christian Kirk and Jordan and or Jordan Watkins, not both. But when I'm not playing the other guys there, those are like Jordan Watkins is a hundred bucks more.

Than Tez Johnson three hundred bucks more than hurst later on doesn't project near it but it's really only like two to three points off I know it matters but it's not that crazy to think about if you're building a lineup like something with let's say Brock Bowers at the tight end and you're not playing George Kittle you're kind of thinking about okay if Brock Bowers is going to crush George Kittle who's going to get the San Francisco stuff could just be cmc and I know people have that too I'm just noting you're kind of spending similar money in those spots all right This is a game where the total dropped massive based on where it opened at, at least.

I think it opened at fifty two and a half. It's down to forty six and a half now. Title going to the Bengals Ravens. No Lamar was the big news here, but we still have AFC North battle. It's in Baltimore, still a tighter spread. You got Burrow, you got Chase, you got Higgins, you got Zay Flowers, Jacobs Lane, Eric Henry. There's still some names in this.

And I don't know if this guy's crazy or not, but Jacobs Lane, I mean, I think he's crazy based on my team fandom, but Jacobs Lane said there's not much difference going from Lamar to Huntley. Like he said it in a way, he meant it. Like the offense doesn't change that much. We just got to go out and do our job, but it came across like they're equals. I don't think that's the case, but go ahead and take this game away.

Yeah, I'm not sure that's what I'd want to be saying in my locker room as a receiver with Lamar going to be coming back and trying to get the ball. Yeah, I mean, the total drop. It's night and day with Lamar and Huntley in the sense of the pace of play and just how the Ravens want to play. They want to take the arrow to the football, give it to Derrick Henry, limit possessions, and that's not good for DFS.

So not a game I like much really at all. I'm not even going to really waste too much time. I'll say Tee Higgins, probably my favorites. If you want the cornerback receiver matchups, Humphrey follows, Ja'Marr Chase, you get the discount from Higgins. Good price for Higgins on FanDuel as well. But yeah, I don't like this game really. I would like to stack it up if I'm doing it though, Hoop, I think.

I'm kind of like where title's at, but if I'm doing it, it's a unique build on this slateSlateA slate in DFS is the set of games, races, fights or tournament rounds covered by a contest.

Do not assume two sites offer identical slates just because both call them the main slate.Read the full definition of Slate. If you go like Joe Burrow, Chase, Zay, or Joe Burrow, Chase, Higgins, Lane, or something like that, or Andrews going up against Cincy. I mean, we've seen that too, but I think if I want to get... Uh, eight, one hundred dollar Ja'Marr Chase to the house. I I'm thinking it's a Ja'Marr Chase day.

If that's the case, he's had some big games against the Ravens in the past. I do worry a little bit about the pace to titles point, getting Huntley in there versus getting Lamar in there. But that's where I also think hoop, you just got to, uh, If you're going that route, like I am, you got to build accordingly because I want the guys that are going to speed it up. So it's like, I want Burrow, Chase, Jacobs Lane. Let's see Jacobs Lane get open.

He had four targets off IR last Week from Huntley as well. So let's see if we get something like that. And that's what would open it up. We'll talk about that more when we get to the Green Bay Detroit game later as well. But what's your thoughts here on the Bengals Ravens? Just wish Lamar was playing.

It would make the game, I guess the slate, even so much more exciting, I think, just because now we have another game where we know we'd have two low-ownedLeverageLeverage is the edge you gain by rostering a play the field is underweight on, compared with how often it ends up in winning lineups. When that play outscores the popular option most lineups chose instead, you gain ground on those lineups, though the rest of your roster still decides where you finish.Look for leverage on players connected to the chalk, like the other side of a popular game or a teammate who can steal the popular player's touches.Read the full definition of Leverage quarterbacks, like Lamar would have been low-owned, Joe Burrow going to be low-owned, and you just have such higher potential to drag Cincinnati into that offensive battle mode a little bit more, you know, one big shot to Zay Flowers and he scores. And then, you know, Joe Burrow to chase on the other side.

I just, with, with Lamar not playing, I just don't see much of that going on in this game. And the total obviously dropping indicates that as well. Yeah. I think at this point, Derrick Henry's great, but I think he feeds off of Lamar Jackson. He had, what, seven team carries for like fifty-some yards last Week. Yeah, seven team carries for fifty-eight yards. Cleveland's run defense is pretty good.

It just sucks all the excitement and fun out of this game, and it was going to be low-owned with Lamar, and it's still going to be low-owned I don't think the ownershipOwnershipOwnership is the percentage of lineups in a contest that include a given player. Projected ownership is an estimate made before lock; actual ownership is posted once the contest locks.Ownership isn't something to avoid; it's something to build around. The goal is understanding how the field is likely to build, then finding your edge relative to that.Read the full definition of Ownership overall changes much, I guess, in this game. But the only thing that did change is the total drop, if that makes sense to you guys. Like these guys all would have been similarly owned, besides Zay Flowers. If Lamar Jackson in, Zay Flowers ownership is going up.

But everyone else is going to have similar ownership. The only thing that changed is the total drop. So we're just losing potential points here. You know, I'm definitely going to have some Ja'Marr Chase, some T. Higgins. And I'm with you. Like I think, you know, I probably want – I want – a game stackGame StackIn the NFL, a game stack usually combines a quarterback, one or two of his pass catchers and one or more players from the opposing offense.Target games where the spread is close as well as the total high. A high total with a lopsided spread can turn into a blowout where only one side keeps scoring.Read the full definition of Game Stack if I'm playing this one. If I am playing Burrow, I want, you know, Zay Flowers on the other side. Maybe they do find a way to push him a little bit.

So I want some Burrow for sure. I mean, he's got two of the best weapons in the NFL in Chase and Higgins. Ownership on Joe Burrow has to be, man, you know, we got it at like three, four percent. Three to five, I think is right.

Yeah that's accurate so it's like he gets to throw the ball to Ja'Marr Chase and t Higgins and you look at this slate like that's probably the best one two punch on the slate and the quarterback's coming in low so I want some of this side it's like but like it would just have to be Zay Flowers I think on the other side I will have some Derrick Henry though too I'm gonna include him in my one fifty it's very low

Owned I mean you're talking and again probably less than five percent no I guess no we're showing like seven or eight so either way like three touchdowns is still in play for Derrick Henry but it's going to be I think much harder for him to get there uh with lamar out so not super excited about this one but when I can get Burrow at no ownership and he gets to throw the ball to chase and Higgins I'll be in on some of that for Yeah, my final thing I'll say here, and we'll move on to the Burks at Panthers, and I'll stay with you, Hoop, in a second, just to note it, is that when you have... Look, a game like this has opportunity to speed up.

When you have Chase, when you have Higgins, when you have Zay Flowers, Derek Henry, Jacobs Lane, we're not putting these lineups out...

In saying we know what's going to happen that's what you know we've always talked about this at Ship It Nation you know picks and plays versus the process obviously we're very process oriented process focused it's you're building for the what if right like the other thing too this thing dropped to about forty seven points that's still one of the highest totals on this slate like at the end of the day so you know it could have been a hell of a lot better for sure would we want Lamar in yes but But there is a way this thing speeds up and goes back and forth.

And you get one of those division battles that aren't the slog or the slugfest or whatever you want to call it back and forth. You actually get one that it just speeds up quick. And then we get that back and forth and just have some fun. It's not like either of these teams have shown phenomenal defenses yet to start the season. It's not the Ravens of old. The Bengals definitely don't have a good one. We get Trey Hendrickson revenge too, by the way.

I forgot about that today too. I don't know if he actually believes there's any revenge there, but just to note it. So- Anyway, I think it's an interesting one for, you know, the what if on this slate, but play it accordingly, play it for it actually getting there and speeding up. That's the main focus. So Hoop, I'll go to you. Bucks at the Panthers. Talk about a one-two punch. I know we're going to talk a ton about Hurst and Tez Johnson and Godwin.

Nobody there on the other side with Igbuka out. Not sure who to go to, you know, from options. But I think a lot of people this Week think the one-two punch is Bryce Young, Tet and Coker because been pretty condensed over there as well. What's your thoughts on this game? Yeah, I mean, it's my favorite game. When you take everything into consideration, it's my favorite game on the slateSlateA slate in DFS is the set of games, races, fights or tournament rounds covered by a contest.

Guess with with ibuka out it opens up a ton of opportunities for at the wide receiver position you have three now potential cheap guys and some are getting more ownershipOwnershipOwnership is the percentage of lineups in a contest that include a given player. Projected ownership is an estimate made before lock; actual ownership is posted once the contest locks.Ownership isn't something to avoid; it's something to build around. The goal is understanding how the field is likely to build, then finding your edge relative to that.Read the full definition of Ownership than others I mean um you know ted hearst is gonna get a lot but man like you got Godwin hearst Johnson

Three cheap wide receiver options and then basically a full punt at tight end in kate otten uh as well so like the reason I like this so much is I can load up on this game and then I can get whatever I want anything I want I can get some I can get some Ja'Marr Chase we talked about in that last game you can get some Ja'Marr Chase you can get some Derrick Henry if you want you can load up on Atlanta uh sam fran you can load up on Detroit Green Bay so I love this all

All over the place there's just so many the reason I like it so much there's so many different ways to play it and it's all super affordable so you got all these cheap guys on on the Tampa Bay side right Baker Mayfield had been terrible even prior to the injury, but no one's going to play him today. People are going to play his pass catchers for sure. People are going to play all those wide receivers and Otton, but no one's going to play Baker.

I'm going to keep him in my one fifty. I think this game just has a chance to to go off. So and I'm.

In on the Tampa Bay passing stuff baker's an uncomfortable click but again I'm playing a hundred and fifty lineups I will get some just because I'm playing all these pass catchers and then you have a running back in in Bucky Irving that is in play too so love that the panther side uh less owned outside of like coker coker's gonna get ownership specifically on fan duly's really cheap but You nailed it, man. Like, it's now a condensed offense. Like, when have we said that about the Panthers?

We got two wide receivers and Ted McMillan and Coker. And then, you know, Chubb Hubbard been the main dude, and he's looked very good. Slight favorites at home. And you can throw Bryce Young in the mix at, you know, he's going to get some. We're showing eight or nine, sub-ten percent. Like, man, you can over-stack this. You can single-stack it. You can run it back.

You can play this game in so many different ways, but every single way you play it is cheap, and you can get exposure to anything else that you want on the slate. So that's my favorite part about this. Even if you go the most expensive route in this game, the most expensive route in this game is Bryce Young to Tet McMillan. And that's not even all that expensive.

And if you do run it back, you're immediately going to get a cheap guy on the other side to run it back with. So no matter how you play this game, you can get exposure to the studs on the slate. You can correlateCorrelationCorrelation describes how two players' fantasy scores move together. Positively correlated players tend to have big games at the same time, usually because one player's success directly adds points for the other.When you build a tournament lineup, ask which of your players need the same thing to happen. The more of them that do, the higher your lineup's ceiling.Read the full definition of Correlation it if you want. You can play this single stack with one run backBring-BackIn the NFL, a bring-back is usually a wide receiver, tight end or running back from the team facing your quarterback stack.Pick the bring-back who gains the most when his team falls behind. In football that's usually the opponent's top pass catcher, not a running back who loses carries in a comeback.Read the full definition of Bring-Back and then just load the wagon Detroit Green Bay if you want. So I like a lot of this game.

I think it's the best game on the slate. I think it's definitely one to target. Good call out there. And like I said, even if you go like Bryce Young, Tet, Coker, Irving, and spend the most money on both sides and skip the cheap wide receivers, you still have tons of money left over and things that you can do. This, Avery, I think was a valuable comment because it's so true, right? Hoop said it himself.

Obviously, they didn't even look good when they had Baker and Igbuka, really. But again, this goes back to my previous comment from the game before where We're building for the what if today. And I think Sean said it best. I bet you everybody out there is getting this right now when they're building their pools out. You're getting a lot of Hurst and Otton and Godwin and maybe Tez, whatever. But you're like, where's Baker in those?

Well, first off, it's probably more in your Bryce Young stacks because you're more Likely to get like Bryce, Tet, Coker, and then Ted Hurst or something where you're getting them as one offsOne-OffIn NFL DFS, a one-off is a player you select outside your stacks, commonly a running back or a receiver without his quarterback. An opposing receiver intentionally paired with your stack instead serves as a bring-back.Before adding a one-off, compare him with an affordable teammate of your existing stack. Decide whether his individual upside is worth passing up that extra scoring connection.Read the full definition of One-Off or two of them together as like a block because they're cheaper, right? The combo pack. I always talk about, but I think title, if you go to this game and stack it up, just, you know, Baker, Godwin, Hurst, Coker, oh, and now I can fit the best running backs.

I'd be thinking about the tournament that you're playing with that angle of attack. I'd want to like do at least something a little bit different because yes, then you can just fit all the top running backs on the slate. It's a miniature version to me of like showdownShowdown (Captain and MVP)NFL Showdown lets you select players from one football game, including eligible quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, tight ends, kickers and team defenses. Your Captain or MVP receives the contest's scoring multiplier.Compare complete lineups with different players in the multiplier slot. Leaving salary unused can reduce duplication, but do not sacrifice meaningful scoring potential just to make your lineup unusual.Read the full definition of Showdown when everyone's like, we'll put the cheap captain up top and I can get everyone. It's not about being duped.

You're probably not gonna be duped or you'll be one or two off, but you're just boxing yourself into a very simple- I think, let me just touch on that point because I think it's important. I think- The logic on that is correct, but it's the other side.

Like if you go Bryce Young, Jalen Coker, and just Ted Hurst, right, because he's probably going to be popular on that side, that's where you need to start being careful with what you do with the rest of your lineup because it is going to look very similar. And that's like the highest-owned pieces in the game. So the Baker side I wouldn't be as worried about, but definitely the Bryce Young to Coker side I'd be a little worried about.

How you build that exact one you said is definitely high owned like if you went with just Bryce Tett Coker Ted Hurst and then filled in the rest of the pieces definitely the same idea but I'm saying when people are going Baker Hurst Otton with Coker and then they can fit CMC Gibbs like they're just getting the same big boy running backs in there I'd be still looking to try and do something a little more balanced with some of these guys I also think title that just playing Bucky and the Burks D could be a way to go today as well.

Like just something like that, where you're just getting different there. And he's a little bit more than Woods Marks and Allen, but you can also play them together. You could play them in that type of setup where you can over stack some more expensive wide receivers and build, build differently overall. But what's your thoughts here on this game? A lot of options here. Yeah, I don't have too hot of a take, too much different from you guys. It's getting ownership. Play it intelligently, like you're saying.

Once you start plugging in Otton, Ted Hurst, Bryce Young, Coker, then they probably want to get away from some of the McCaffreys of the world or George Kittle, like we talked about, some of the Packers stuff, because it's getting a lot of ownership. I mean, I'd be lying if I wasn't nervous about, yeah, Baker has looked terrible. Buccaneers, twenty percent own multiple of these guys. But it comes down to especially wide receivers. Terrible.

You get a lot of value when you play these guys to be able to spend upSpending UpSpending up means choosing a higher-priced player over a cheaper alternative, using more of your lineup's salary budget at that spot.

So that's why Godwin Hurst would be my favorites. A little over Kate Otton because of that bad wide receiver position. My favorite play in this game. No surprise if you've been watching. It's the Coke man. Jalen Coker is a complete stud. I'm going to keep rolling with him.

Like Coop said, too cheap on FanDuel. I still think he's too cheap.

On DraftKings um but I think uh or tet for half the ownership definitely makes sense so I'm gonna embrace young stuff and then bucky separated the most he has all year last Week from Gainwell eighty five percent of snaps if you don't if you just play bucky in this game or bucky's Buccaneers defense like you said then you're not playing ted hurst or kate otten or Godwin you can leverageLeverageLeverage is the edge you gain by rostering a play the field is underweight on, compared with how often it ends up in winning lineups.

And that eight point five points is enough, mainly probably in smaller field stuff, not really stuff. But yeah, he's just so cheap and makes a lot of work. So no hot take in this game. Yeah. The Bucky squared could be good. I like that call, too. And you said the way you said it. Shout out to man. Be Mitch poker. That's, you know, August twenty twenty five. The one came in event in your own Scottsdale. Half a milli shipper. Congrats to him.

Welcome in. That's a scorcher. That's a scorcher, man. Yeah, he's crushing it, man. Love to see it. Appreciate you being here with us on this Sunday morning. Let's keep it moving, Title. I'm going to stay with you. We've got the Giants at the Texans coming up next. We talked off the top. I know you did the cash gameCash GameA cash game is a contest that pays a large share of the field, usually close to half, the same flat prize.

You got Woods Marks, $5,600 on DraftKings like nobody behind him.

I think, you know, the matchup solid at home, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But go ahead here. Take us away with this one. Texans at home versus the Giants. Yeah, I mean, you hit it. Woody Marks, $5,600 big home favorite minus one twenty to score. Not much competition. It's yeah, I'm loading up Woods Marks. But again, I keep like we're talking about some of the chalkyChalkChalk is the most popular, highly owned play on a slate.

I think Nico Collins is also a very elite play, and I'm definitely playing them with C.J. Stroud. You can play all three of them, too, if you want to put Woods Marks in there. But how does Woods Marks fail today? Probably. CJ Stroud getting it done through the air, big plays, and Woods Marks isn't getting the touchdowns. So I also love Texans defense. It was very good for JJ McCarthy. I was cheering for him last Week, and I still am cheering for him.

Never want to root against people, especially – He's had terrible success to start his career, but I have not forgot which McCarthy I've seen in the past. So I am loading up on the Texans defense for sure. And then, yeah, I mean, Malik Nabers, Isaiah Likely, no one wants to play him at all because they're implied for sixteen and a half points. They're just going to get peppered. And like I said, McCarthy actually looks solid. He gave Likely a chance. Nabers is just getting peppered.

So I love to see that ownership on guys that have absolutely dominated. It's very condensed on that side as well. So yeah, at ownership, really only Woods Marks is getting some. And I think this is one of the sneaky games that I'm going to be in on. Twenty seven and a half points. Texans are implied for that's a lot of points. Yeah, we love it. Stroud, Nico Collins. Also, I know they got a bunch of other stuff like Tank Tales coming back.

They picked up Marv Harrison, whatever, but I liked our guy Rio in the value report this Week. He put in there with Jalen Knoll, and he said you can't put that back in the box when you got that, man. I don't care what else is going on out there. Not like anybody else has been doing much besides Nico, so... I like that. You can run a trip. You can run the double with Stroud, Collins, Knoll.

You can also use Nabers on the run backBring-BackIn the NFL, a bring-back is usually a wide receiver, tight end or running back from the team facing your quarterback stack.Pick the bring-back who gains the most when his team falls behind. In football that's usually the opponent's top pass catcher, not a running back who loses carries in a comeback.Read the full definition of Bring-Back. Alex and I talked about it yesterday, Hoop. You can also run something like Stroud, Collins, Nabers, but still play Likely. And then just hope that there's enough going on in that game to be able to make it work still, like an unconventional stack that way. But what's your thoughts here on this game, Hoop? I mean, obviously the main talking point here is Woods Marks. I think phenomenal play on the slate.

David Montgomery sucks, cheeks, whatever you want to say. Like that's the one signing. It's the one, yeah, buns. Yeah, buns will go with what the kids say. It's the one signing and everyone like got so excited about, you know, Davis Montgomery going to the Texans and he went super high in best ball drafts. Title knows this. And I'm just like sitting back. It's like, Have fun with that. He's not good, and now he already got injured.

Woody Marks is the better running back, and now his pathway to a massive workload is huge. Phenomenal play at home, favored by a ton.

But I kind of like what Title threw out there is like, cj Stroud Nico Collins and Woody Marks just give me what could be this entire offense like let's say they go out and score and it's you know two to nico

And then you know Woody Marks gets two on the ground I think that's very possible and there's run backs on the other side bleak Nabers Isaiah Likely like everyone's stroking jj McCarthy because he threw what two hundred and some yards in the floor like if you're an NFL backup quarterback like what an ideal scenario you're down a shit ton just come in the game and just chuck it just come in and chuck it and that's what he did and any backup quarterback in the NFL could come in and do that and he did it and um you know I don't know like to me it doesn't really change anything for this offense Nabers in on Likely in on

Definitely a lot of Woods Marks, but I kind of like what, what title said there, if you're going to hand build this one, like give me Stroud, Nico and Woods Marks pick Nabers and Likely on the other side, I hope there's a little, you know, a pushback from the Giants, which we saw last Week, they're willing to continue to throw it all the way through and keep their guys out there. So I'm in on a, in on this one. Woody Marks, a premier play on the slate.

Yeah, I don't mind this either. Avery said it like I prefer Nico in it to the way title said to build it. But I'm just saying the guy does have like four or five receivers that he could throw to today. So if you go with with that, he looked really good, by the way, to imagine like he was his exit from the playoffs last year is probably one of the worst quarterback performances of all time. And, you know, kudos to him for coming back.

He's looked solid to start the year. Oh, yeah, for sure. I was going to say, Jordan, welcome to the show, my friend. We posted that in the Discord this morning when it came out. He's like just waking up. But you got Stroud, Woods Marks. The other thing, too, a lot of talk about the J.J. McCarthy, two hundred and forty three yards or whatever it was in the fourth quarter. You know, there's it goes two ways here.

I was going to say, you know, from Yesterday, what I talked about was like, first of all, he might not need to do that. He's, I mean, he's unlikely to do that as everybody knows, but also he could be Likely to use Isaiah and get it to Nabers and still have enough yards. And then you use somebody like marks on the run back.

But alternatively, you kind of want the guy who's just throwing the ball enough that you can pick up two hundred and forty three yards in a quarter when you've got the Texans DSTDefense/Special Teams (DST)Defense/Special Teams (DST) is a roster selection representing one NFL team's combined defense and special teams, rather than an individual player. It earns fantasy points through sacks, takeaways, defensive and return touchdowns, and other plays, with adjustments for points allowed.Compare what a DST upgrade costs elsewhere in your lineup. If paying more forces you off an important offensive role, check whether a cheaper defense offers a credible path through sacks and turnovers.Read the full definition of Defense/Special Teams down there and be able just to pick that off. There's going to be so many opportunities. That's the thing, too.

It's not really like, I get what people say, like it's a backup, but he was probably always, they got him to bring them in so that they're going to want to use them, but they're going to let him do whatever and let him chuck it around. They're going to want to see what, what he's got and continue that way. So there could be a lot of opportunities for the Texans D today.

People know it, they're landing there and they're going there, but it's, it's honestly, um, Kind of like Hoop always talks about with quarterback ownership. D's a little more and a little bit higher, like the Titans, that. But even this Week, there's the Titans, the Jets, the Browns, the Dolphins, the Texans. So it is still going to be a little bit spread out there.

Or if you want to take a stand on a D, I prefer the pay upSpending UpSpending up means choosing a higher-priced player over a cheaper alternative, using more of your lineup's salary budget at that spot.

I like the Texans in this spot. All right, title. I'll go back to you next game here. Vikings at home versus the Colts. Yeah, pretty much a pass. I will say, though, Kyler or always Justin Jefferson and then Kyler's $5,400 skinny stack. It's very low ownedLeverageLeverage is the edge you gain by rostering a play the field is underweight on, compared with how often it ends up in winning lineups.

I want Jefferson to be low owned and then I can jam chalk around it. So, yeah, Jefferson, Kyler, if I need a run backBring-BackIn the NFL, a bring-back is usually a wide receiver, tight end or running back from the team facing your quarterback stack.Pick the bring-back who gains the most when his team falls behind. In football that's usually the opponent's top pass catcher, not a running back who loses carries in a comeback.Read the full definition of Bring-Back, probably Keenan Allen at $4,800. He got peppered. Last Week, yeah, like JT, I just really can't do it at six and that point.

Dogs, very low on for sure, but the opportunity cost at running back, you can't miss when you're spending upSpending UpSpending up means choosing a higher-priced player over a cheaper alternative, using more of your lineup's salary budget at that spot. You may also hear it called paying up.Build a version with your preferred expensive player and another without. Before choosing, check whether either version relies on a cheap player whose expected role still depends on unresolved injury news.Read the full definition of Spending Up. So not for me. Jefferson, Kyler, just Jefferson, Keenan Allen. Yeah, I don't love this game, though. Hoop, I'll kick it over to you here. The Jefferson stuff is at least interesting. Sub-ten and probably, you know, Moon walks back even further, I think, at $7,300. But Kyler's fifty four. He's seventy three. It's what? Is it the exact? Let's see. Three hundred.

Very close, right? Obviously, a Stroud, Nico Collins lineup could be a Kyler Jefferson lineup. So thinking about it from that perspective, but I think we like Nabers a lot more. And Danny Dimes, Danny Dollaz was not to be for us last Week. That was bad. That was bad. Just Jefferson for me in this one, really. Maybe I get some Kyler in my one fifty. But with the Colts, I mean, such a brutal spot.

I mean, just getting their ass kicked this season, just lost to the Titans. And you have to go on the road and play probably the best defense in the NFL. And they're talking about trading their players already. It's just such a bad situation. I think the Vikings absolutely destroy the Colts here. But, like, I just don't love the fantasy pieces. So I'll have some Jefferson because Kyler will just chuck it up to him.

I mean, really, the only success they've had this year, it was like he was triple covered in the end zone. And Kyler said, yeah, fuck it, I'll just chuck it up to him. And Jefferson so good, he just came down with it. Just him and maybe a little Kyler in one fifty, but no interest in the Colts. But the cheap pieces, I guess I should say, I don't mind the Keenan thing.

And then maybe these cheap tight ends just to throw in because double tight end is pretty valuable today. Like talking about Will Mallory over there. Mallory. Yeah, I'd have some fun with some Mallory. I mean, I mean, those guys can do that and you can still win a shit ton of money. Yeah. I like even when you're talking about Kyler and playing him, just so you're still calling him little Tyler, just like a little Kyler. I forget. Remind us, is Kyler tall?

And do you like him as a quarterback? You know, the people are wondering. So now someone said right here, hoop confirmed, Ross, hoop confirmed, not Kyler's biggest fan. It sucks for them though. They have probably the best defense, but at some point, Kyler's going to have to do something down the road here in the playoffs. And he's just not capable.

They said they're getting him a booster chair out on the field so he can roll up and get it up over the top. This is title's nickname, Sully. He came up with this a while ago. And I think last Week he was close to this statement. It was like maybe a little bit different, but he said he's like less than a penny last Week.

He had the call right, but we didn't, I at least did not put it together enough with the Titans defense on the other side. You can do it this Week though. A hundred bucks more than those Texans at much less ownership. I would say probably if you are paying up is the Vikings D or But title, anything else to add on the Danny Penny stuff? I know you already talked about Kyler, Jefferson, et cetera, but the Danny Penny's nickname is yours.

Yeah, that's one thing I got right last Week, but so much I get wrong, I can't victory lap that, so no, nothing. Buns. All right, take us into the next one then. We got Dolphins on the road going in to play the New York Jets. What do you got with this one? Yeah, the Braylon Allen stuff, like Jordan just woke up and mentioned, his ownership's going to be roughly around twenty percent.

But I mean, it's hard to argue a guy that really doesn't come off the field as four and a half point favorites at home. It's another cheap guy in the similar range of Woods Marks. I think Garrett Wilson, that only makes him a better play because you're getting more leverageLeverageLeverage is the edge you gain by rostering a play the field is underweight on, compared with how often it ends up in winning lineups. When that play outscores the popular option most lineups chose instead, you gain ground on those lineups, though the rest of your roster still decides where you finish.Look for leverage on players connected to the chalk, like the other side of a popular game or a teammate who can steal the popular player's touches.Read the full definition of Leverage off of Braylon Allen. And when he fails, it's probably because of Garrett Wilson. So have a decent bit of interest there. Both defenses for sure. At the end of the day, it's the Jets and the Dolphins.

So I can get to both defenses for cheap. Man outside of that it's like with Caleb Douglas and stuff returning I don't know how much Malik Washington maybe if you want to take a shot on Caleb Douglas he is a little more expensive than the Buccaneers stuff but a lot of hype in the preseason had a good Week one It's kind of tough, though, coming off injury. I'm just trying to make an ownership case for these guys.

And I'm going to apply it for seventeen points. I think Braylon Allen's good, but he's going to be owned. Pairing him with the Jets defense makes a lot of sense. If you don't play either of them, I think Dolphins defense makes some sense for very cheap. And then Garrett Wilson the one sub ten percent is good leverage off of Braylon Allen and can get peppered in the spot.

Yeah, the Garrett Wilson one is interesting because obviously it's going to be now a really solid leverage option on that team when Braylon Allen picks up steam as we get closer to lock. So don't think anyone was on Wilson. Don't think many can get to him. And now it would actually make sense to do so if that's the case. Also, like you said, like they're not...

Some crazy team totalTeam TotalIn NFL DFS, a team total estimates one team's points, usually from the game total and point spread. It includes scoring by the whole team, not just offensive touchdowns or fantasy production.Recheck team totals after major news, then ask which players actually benefit. If your projections already reflect the change, avoid adding another automatic boost.Read the full definition of Team Total or, you know, expectations, but he can catch eight to ten balls and it can rack up and who knows what that looks like. So I think that one's actually really interesting. Both these are definitely in play, but I think the one on the other side is also flipping the game scriptGame ScriptGame script is how a game's score and time remaining influence its pace, play choices and player opportunities. In football, teams protecting a lead often run more, while teams chasing a deficit often pass more.Before locking a lineup, ask who keeps playing if your expected script reverses. Check passing-down roles and backup rotations instead of assuming a team's leading rusher handles every situation.Read the full definition of Game Script here is going to Ollie Gordon with the Dolphins D and especially on FanDuel. There's a stone minimum on FanDuel, $3,000.

Ollie Gordon only $6,000 over there, which is less than the $6,300 or maybe he's even more of their Braylon. I know he's $6,300 on FanDuel. But anyway, just for the general thought process here, Ollie Gordon with Wilson, secondary stackMini-StackIn NFL DFS, a mini-stack usually pairs two players from the same game without either team's quarterback. Often a secondary group beside your main quarterback stack, it can pair a running back with an opposing receiver.Before locking a pair, describe how both players reach big scores together. Then ask whether that outcome would make an omitted quarterback or teammate difficult to beat.Read the full definition of Mini-Stack, any any of that stuff. Other than that, I don't have much interest at all. What do you got with this one? Braylon Allen, Garrett Wilson, Jets D, and that's it.

I think Garrett Wilson a phenomenal play at, what, probably five percent. You can do whatever the hell you want against the Dolphins. And Braylon Allen, he had the one good game, but it was a twenty-yard touchdown at the end of the game. This dude just jams it in there and gets stuffed constantly, so maybe they do have to start passing it a little bit. And I think Garrett Wilson is an elite play on the slate at five percent. But, yeah, that's it.

Man, I was trying to see. What did he end up doing? Who did he play? Man. Who? Didn't he play Gonzalez? Wasn't it the Jets? The Jets played the Patriots, yeah. Yeah, what did he do against him? I forget. Who, Gary Wilson? I don't think he did too much. Yeah, their offense didn't really do shit. He did, yeah, six targets. Four for forty-four, so that's it. Yes, four for forty-four. It wasn't much against them.

But why I was thinking of that was because, obviously, coming out of that, and now, like you said, the line you said that I liked was, they're going against Miami. You can do whatever you want. So it's like that's the other thing I'm thinking about here. And now that it actually comes to fruition of it being a leverage option on this slate with Hall, unlikely Allen's ownership going to steam up at $5,900.

It's a little bit more money, six hundred bucks more, but it's at the wide receiver position. So you can get one of one other thing. I don't know. Do you guys? In one fifty or a Milly Maker type stuff like any interest in like now looking at this with Gino, he's got his full arsenal of weapons. I mean, which is a little crazy to say, but he's got Garrett Wilson that Amar Cooper dude looked really good last Week. He's the one that had the big game.

Adana Adana Mitchell is in as well. Sadiq's in there. He's got everyone like, I don't know, maybe for one fifty. Not the worst idea. Remember Amari Cooper? Yep. Now we've got Omar Cooper. Omar Cooper. Omar Cooper. Who's going to have the better injury title? He had a massive game last Week. Cooper did play. He went bonkers. I mean, Amari Cooper was a DFS god at some point. He had slates where if you didn't have him, you were not winning money.

I just keep remembering CSU Ram used to be posting average Amari after he'd make the biggest catches or something because he loved him and people kept making fun of him saying he sucks or he's average. And then he kept posting that every time. It was funny. Now that I'm thinking about this, I got to get some Gino because like Braylon Allen's definitely going to get some ownership, a cheap running back. He's not foolproof. Like he can fully bust. They're playing the Dolphins.

Like, yeah, I'm going to play some Gino stuff now. So Gino Garrett Wilson, who do you prefer? Go to the Cooper guy or with Mitchell? What are you thinking now? Yeah. I mean that Cooper looked really good. I don't know. Like, yeah, any of that. And then just don't run it back and hope, they do all the damage and Braylon Allen doesn't do shit, which is very possible. Gosh. We'll see. I don't know about that one. Title you? I doubt I'd get there.

Gino's my Kyler Murray, I guess. But, I mean, Kyler's two percent versus six percent, so I guess you can't really compare as much. But it's hard to click Gino. But if there was ever a matchup to do it when you're favored at home, man, Braylon Allen's getting ownership. So I get it that way. Just playing Garrett Wilson enough for me to leverage it. Yeah, just go Geno Garrett. There you go. And then you don't got to mess with all that other stuff.

And then it's cheap. That's probably what I would do if I did. Because like guessing on the Cooper, they're going to be just so, so low owned. Like even if they have great games, like we talk about all the time, you don't need to be perfect. Like just him carrying or getting three touchdowns, even if it's one to Cooper, one to Mitchell. But Garrett has the bigger day. No one's going to play Geno stuff anyway. So probably not for me, but I don't hate it.

Hoop knows about Geno Smith and Milly Makers. Yeah. He'll never go broke playing Geno Smith, Hoop. He can't. Yeah, that's true. Anything else here, Title, that we missed? If not, you can take us into the Browns Titans. Oh, no. But is this the Budkins Day, Hoopster? Is this the Budkins Day? Is that a real question? That's one of those rhetorical questions, I hope, right? If there was a spot, let me see. But is another guy back now, too? Yeah. Yeah. No, this ain't the spot.

It's kind of like just the Concepcion, Cardinals Tate's, kind of the dead range at wide receiver. They're getting a little bit of ownership, but I do think people are just going to go to the buck stuff or spend upSpending UpSpending up means choosing a higher-priced player over a cheaper alternative, using more of your lineup's salary budget at that spot.

So, yeah, wide receiver one's on their team. Tate got there at the end. Not necessarily, I guess, at the end, but he had a big game last Week. I think both are fine.

Titans defense is going to get some ownership. My favorite way to play it is with Tony Pollard.

And yeah, $5,300 is a really, really cheap price tag. So, yeah, I'm actually more interested in this game than I probably feel comfortable with. But it's the individual Concepcion, Tate, Pollard, Titans defense. And I don't hate going Browns defense as well.

Too bad team just going to the lower own side. So, yeah, actually, I guess a little bit of interest. Curious of your guys take on it. Thank you. Yeah, we got the Discord rivalry hoop from last Week. It was the battle of Deshaun Watson or Cam Ward stacks, and now they play against each other. So I talked about it yesterday with Leverage Lane and Blickle and I went back and forth on it, but I prefer the Watson side. You know, you got Boston, Concepcion.

I know they've got Jerry Judy, but it's kind of been those two. He's picking up catches. They have Fannin, et cetera. I know you could stack it differently, but if I'm doing it, I like it just Watson, Boston, Concepcion, Tate, or Wandale, I guess. But Tate is the guy that... Like Tate Boston, even a secondary or Concepcion Tate or something like that. You could do that. Tate is boom bust, but he's been a good boom when he gets his stuff. So I like that angle of it here.

Hoop, are you doing anything with this game besides the defenses? Yeah, just some individual defenses. Yeah, some individual. I will be. Be careful about the Titans. It looks like they're going to be very popular on both. Don't be careful. I'm just saying they're going to be highly owned on both sites, FanDuel and DraftKings. Fine with some Pollard. Fine with Tate. Actually, he's my favorite part of this game.

Like, you know, Cam Ward is buns, but he knows to throw the ball to his best wide receiver, and he's been doing that. Concepcion I'm fine with on the other side. It's just fillers, just shit to throw in my lineup kind of stuff, not overly excited about any of it. We didn't get the Spears news yet, did we, for behind Pollard today? Not that it's, like, crazy important. I'm just curious. Title, did you see anything?

No, I did not see anything, and I just looked, and I still have not seen anything. I mean, Tony, man. When's the last time we've needed Tony Pollard? Like now I'm looking at this. He's $5,300. I know he's getting ownership, but like when has he ever been on a winner? Has he ever been on a DFS winner? Like that's that's the thing I think think of.

I think last year we got him once or twice just on at least on FanDuel where you just maybe something like that. But to title's point, if everyone's playing the Titans, I like either mixing it with Pollard and then skipping over these receivers in the back and forth. Or I like stacking the Browns and going against them that way just because you He is even cheaper, though, on FanDuel. He's like five times as much, I think, on FanDuel, too.

And with no Brees, that has to lower Pollard ownership a bit because Braylon becomes more popular. Woody Marks is right there. He separated the most from Spears last Week. Pollard didn't play over fifty-five percent of snaps for five games. Seventy-six, twenty-four last Week. Plus one thirty to score. So painful. It just seems like just the most blah play of all time. Like what? I struggle. It's like you got to think about the rest of the slate.

Obviously, I like the call, but it's at the end of the day. It's there's a lot of other ways it can go. And you only you only have to play two running backs. A lot of people are playing three, but it's a big two tight end Week on DraftKings, on FanDuel. Typically, people play for those touchdowns, so it is more three running back lineups. But there's plenty of running backs in that pool of where your three come from that could outdo Pollard.

So you do have to really kind of like him. And somebody said it, Adam A. Teal said Pollard higher owned. Yeah, almost all the Titans are higher owned on FanDuel. And there's our resident FanDuel guy, Hamwich, said imagine looking at him. On Tony Pollard name. But people like Robinson. They like Tate. They like Pollard. They love the Titans D. And that Titans D boosts them as well. Yeah, I got to boost Tony Pollard. Thanks, Ham. He might be the new Buckins.

What's the name that goes with Pollard that we can make fun of?

What's worse than talking about this much about Tony Pollard is having to hear this a thousand times today I'm I'm I might go with titles idea and just nap through some of it and come back so I don't have to listen to this shit all day like I don't care it's so annoying and just got to hear it after every single catch and play and oh man okay Manning, by the way, side note, because we're getting to the afternoon games anyway.

We're there. But there's going to be a lot more. There probably already is. But there's going to be a lot more Manning casts and stuff. Some of these commentaries are just painful, and people don't want to listen to them anymore. They say the same shit over and over. It's literally the exact same stuff they say over and over. It's like, let me have a line and just replace player A with player B and say the same thing.

And it's just like the entire – There was somebody a couple weeks ago that posted it, and they said you'll never hear it. Maybe it's Collinsworth. Yeah, they said you'll never listen to him again the same, and he just kept saying that everyone, to your point, he just replaced it. Wasn't it Troy Aikman, I think? Was it Aikman? Yeah, it was Aikman.

He kept saying this is one of the most phenomenal things you'll see in the league, or they're one of the best at this you'll see in the league. Everyone's the best at everything, every time he says it. It's like, come on. Yeah, yeah.

No no tapes no trash no nothing you got to talk some on there man I don't care and then that's why too stiff like they gotta like call off these coaches when they make poor uh like call out the like you gotta you gotta make it more entertaining it's just it's too stiff Yeah. Well, that's why like the best is Brady. Not from, I'm not saying he's the best commentator.

We're not getting into that, but I'm saying the guy that doesn't give a shit because what are they going to do? First of all, fire his ass. He's got so much going on. It doesn't even matter. So when he says like piss missile or shit on camera and they're like, oh my God. And other people are like, well, I couldn't say that because I'd lose my job. It's like, that's how anybody watching football talks. Like I don't care. Yeah. Just play to the people, man.

It's so brutal. But anyway, I digress. We've got three afternoon games, Hoop. I'm going to start it off with you. The one that's going completely overlooked and probably for good reason, outside of a little bit of chatter I'm hearing on Bo Nix, but it's the Broncos at the Cardinals. There's not really anybody on McBride this Week. You know, we're not talking about Michael Wilson. Maybe title will be when we get there, but we're not talking about him. No Brissett. No.

I mean, people with Bo Nix, they're just talking about it. It's like Trevor Lawrence in Week one, which he ended up to have a good game, but no one could figure out how to stack it or felt comfortable doing it. You know, you got Waddle. You know, you got Sutton. You know, you got Franklin. Like there's guys there, but I don't know. What are you doing with this one? Yeah, I mean, same thing with the Broncos all last year and this year.

It's like just tough to play it. And it's just such so blah, such a blah offense. Nothing has happened. They probably win this game and they have multiple running backs. They'll still mix in all these random pass catchers, but they're winning games, but doing nothing exciting offensively. And, you know, I don't think the Cardinals are going to offer much pushback or anything to keep them going. I mean, they beat the Rams last Week, but what was it, six field goals? Like they never got in the end zone.

And Denver's defense is good. Off this one. I mean, the only path I see to playing this one is you need to make a pivot from the afternoon and you want to get on something that no one else is on. And still, I don't even know if I like it. I just find like random pieces and Detroit Green Bay or the Rams Raiders, I think overcoming here. So no interest at all. I don't care.

I think late swapLate SwapIn NFL contests with late swap, you can change unlocked afternoon or evening players after earlier games begin. Only games included in that contest's player pool are available.Before the first games lock, identify affordable backup combinations for your later players. Check that each combination fits the open positions, then confirm your saved changes in every affected entry.Read the full definition of Late Swap is how I get there to your point. Nailed it. Because, you know, if there is that, you know, Cardinals let down off a Superbowl esque win for them of beating the Rams. And now back at home, you know, you got Broncos right there. It's not like they're going far. Like you, you got a chance here inside fast track, et cetera, maybe, but I don't know, title. What, what are you thinking here?

I am hearing a little bit, like I said, a little bit of chatter on the bone next stuff. What do you think?

Billy's $5,000 and then he has the clear guy in waddles five five like buying the dip like people like to say unfortunately sometimes it keeps dipping if it doesn't work well man like that price is that price is really low and you just skinny it you know where to go and the ownership's really not getting there as well so yeah I just naturally I guess gonna plug my nose and and play some of that and then the runbacks you can go born you can go Michael Wilson to be honest though I'd probably my favorite route to go is not run anything back because this defense is legit, but yeah, $5,000 bow, five, five Waddle.

If we, if we knew that Week one, people would be going crazy. So we'll see. Yeah. Bo Nix, Waddle, Randy Moss, Jr. Michael Wilson, get them in there and see what happens and hope for the best. I'm sure there's a, you know, some math experts out there that could just quickly tell you what that converts to. Like if you have, I don't know, like golf, JMO, golf, And Kraft or something, maybe it can convert to Bo Nix, Waddle and Wilson using the flex box.

People are playing double tight end and stuff. I'm sure there's something like that. I guess the one thing I didn't hear from either you much was like Bam Knight, $4,100. Any any thoughts there, title? I know with Algier and et cetera. But what are you thinking? Yeah, no for me. He is really, really cheap. But I guess because I like Pollard a lot more than you guys. I like Woods Marks. I like Braylon Allen.

And to be honest, I think I'd rather just play some tight ends in that range. So I do not like picking on this Denver defense. Probably a negative game scriptGame ScriptGame script is how a game's score and time remaining influence its pace, play choices and player opportunities. In football, teams protecting a lead often run more, while teams chasing a deficit often pass more.Before locking a lineup, ask who keeps playing if your expected script reverses. Check passing-down roles and backup rotations instead of assuming a team's leading rusher handles every situation.Read the full definition of Game Script. It's a no for me. But yeah, I'm curious to hear your guys' take. I've got nothing else with that one. Like I said, it's just really tricky based on everything else on the slate on, you know, both sites. I get that he's $4,100, but, you know, at the on DraftKings.

But even then, do we need it? I don't know. Well, I guess I'll find out the hard way probably if it happens, because that's the main thing. But there's still other stuff going on. And just again, late swap stuff. Getting here for sure. Remember that this game starts earlier, twenty minutes sooner than the last two games, everybody.

So just if you're looking at your late swaps, look about a half hour in advance, see where you stand and then, you know, start with the highest dollar lineups, make some decisions from there and go down the board. But I'm going to save it like I did last Week, Hoop, because it's the biggest game on the slate. So I'm going to go to you first on Rams at the Raiders, unless you had anything else to add on the Broncos cards. No, no, sir.

I think one of the most interesting pieces of the slate is the Puka stuff. No Davante Adams for a long period of time, which is unfortunate and very unfortunate for my best ball teams because I have a lot of Davante Adams. That hurts a little bit. But in regards to the slates, no Davante Adams. The first assumption is...

Puka is going to be a million percent owned everyone's going to be on him and not the case because of this questionable tagInjury NewsInjury news is information about a player's health that can change whether they compete, how much they play or how effectively they perform. In DFS, it also affects opportunities for teammates and opponents.Before an uncertain player's game locks, identify an alternative you can afford at each affected position. Check whether making that change would require another player whose game starts earlier.Read the full definition of Injury News but sounds like he's good to go I think he's good to go and I had no reason not to believe it and the guy just had a game where he got like forty five targets it was insane what was it it was a very obviously not forty five but twenty four twenty four targets yeah twenty four targets you'd assume he's coming in at massive ownership today but you know we have it at twelve and that's kind of the industry standard so uh

This guy has the upside for like fifteen to twenty catches in this game they need to win like very disappointing start to the season like this is a very important game for them uh and the other wide receivers are mumfield uh whittingham Whittington a plethora of tight ends. I just have to be way overweight on Puka. I think he's a phenomenal, phenomenal player in the slate. Kyron Williams, solid play. And then on The Raiders side, Trey Tucker coming off the big game.

You always have Brock Bowers. They're not as interested. I don't think I'm going to play any gente, to be honest with you. But to me, this is all about Puka. And if that number stays true, which I think it will, because everyone's going to want to load up on Packers wide receivers and Lions wide receivers, Puka just has to be one of the best plays on the slate.

Yeah, title, I'm going to get your takes on this game, but real quick, I just have a late swapLate SwapIn NFL contests with late swap, you can change unlocked afternoon or evening players after earlier games begin. Only games included in that contest's player pool are available.Before the first games lock, identify affordable backup combinations for your later players. Check that each combination fits the open positions, then confirm your saved changes in every affected entry.Read the full definition of Late Swap thought. It's close. I did the rough math in my head, like I said, I'm not the expert, just trying to whip it together quickly. But if you could go, again, it's all just, I think this one's easy because it depends on what your stuff does in the morning.

But if you were just thinking out loud here, would you go Love, Watson, Kraft, and Amun-Ra? So Love, Watson, Kraft, Amun-Ra, really good stack with a nice run backBring-BackIn the NFL, a bring-back is usually a wide receiver, tight end or running back from the team facing your quarterback stack.Pick the bring-back who gains the most when his team falls behind. In football that's usually the opponent's top pass catcher, not a running back who loses carries in a comeback.Read the full definition of Bring-Back. Or Cousins, Tucker, Bowers, Kyron? You know the answer. Definitely the Packers will win. All right, we'll get to that game soon. Take us into your thoughts on this one with the Puka spot.

I think if I'm going with Puka, obviously late swap spots, but I think the ones I'm starting with will mostly be with Puka in Stafford builds. I actually want to play for the big game, but we'll see what happens from there. Give us your thoughts on this one. Yeah, I mean, Stafford, four percent we have Stafford. I mean, I think Stafford to Puka is an elite play. And then you can add in Tyler Higbee and Kobe Parkinson at tight end.

Again, they run a lot of twelve, thirteen personnel. No Terrence Ferguson. Someone asked in chat, was it Sully? Yeah, I prefer Higbee. He out snapped him. Seems to be the... Preferred target right no small Sample. I think bot much in place. Stafford d I'm not going to puka or I do think Kyron at seven a good spot.

Like he was uh to the press about not so you can't get in game still out snap quorum, Funny about his comments, sorry to cut you off, but Squeaky Wheel, remember I told you I had Corum, he didn't play after six minutes left in the third and they're trying to win the game, so they put Kyron back out there, but he was then after the game complaining like, you need me out there.

Yeah, he was out there way more than I thought. When I saw that comment, then I looked, I was like, huh, that's pretty interesting, but... Yeah. So I mean, the Rams are supposed to score twenty six points. That's the same as the Packers, pretty much the same as the Texans. And these guys are not getting ownership. So Kyron, when I'm not playing the Puka and Stafford and all that. But I think Stafford, Puka, Higbee, Parkinson are elite, elite plays. Don't need a run back.

You can play Brock Powers. It's obviously expensive. If you do so, I'm going to keep playing a little Michael Mayer and bumping him. He's better with Brock Bowers on the field. Like Brock Bowers, he requires so much attention that just go out to the flat, block and release, just little routes. And he's really good. He got paid for a reason. So don't hate him at tight end. No one's going to play. And it is the last official slate before Halloween. The next one is a Week after.

So you get the Michael Meyer in there. Now, Avery mentioned it. If you're not playing any Rams and just because there's stone minimum on DraftKings, I actually am. I do have Raiders in the pool. I saw it this morning, like a I wouldn't say a lot, but it's a healthy share of like, it's in there for sure.

Because if you're not on that stuff, but also in a portfolio, I got that in some lineups, but then I got Ram stacks in other lineups. So it's kind of like putting you in that position where you can do what I always call portfolio manipulation, right? You're manipulating your portfolio to cover angles, knowing that some of it's going down, hoping that some of it is going up. But if you think Cousins, Tucker, Bowers, you're waiting actually on Mike Washington Jr. News.

Gent, he was getting the touches again last Week. It looked like he was going to have a good game. It didn't turn out to be a great game. But if you think that they can keep in this game at all and get that back and forth, It's kind of a similar thing. If you think Arizona can flop because they got the win against the Rams last Week and not come through, and now this Week's a bad Week for them, you could see the Rams bounce back here.

This is a pretty big total on the road. And so I think just stacking it up from that perspective, I still do like Stafford, Puka, Higbee, one of, you know, Bowers, Genting. If you're going the other side, I like Cousins, Tucker, Bowers, one of, you know, put Kyron in there. Even with Puka back, I think Kyron was still, you know, when there was, before, I forget who it was, I think it was Adams the first time, but he was still getting some catches.

Right? Because they're lacking receivers. Now they have Puka back, but just of note. And then Mumfield is the same price as Tez, two hundred bucks more than Hurst. When you look at the cheap guys from earlier, I think that's more in stacks the way I would want that. Anything else from what we talked about there, Hoop, that you want to talk about? If not, we got the premier game that we saved for the last Lions at home versus the Packers.

Yeah, it's a really good spot for the Rams and that you know we talked about just to tidy this one up like we talked about making the afternoon pivot. Like if you're looking to make some moves and talk about the Denver stuff, just go to the ramps like in any any capacity. Like if you have to get off like Green Bay, It just seems it has to be just a really, really good spot. They need to win, play the complete ass.

That game just seems so weird against the Cardinals. I don't know. I'm not a full-on conspiracy Person, but that just reeked of something bizarre. I think they... Bounce back in a big way. But yeah, so you got the Packers-Lions. One last thing, because I don't want to cut you off, but before we go to the last game, this is the most important one. I wanted to add one more thing about that.

There is actually, to your point, there's actually some spots I would think to still hold on.

Obviously, if you have Chark, that's dead in the morning but I'm saying if you have a lineup that gets there in the morning and you're like oh man I love this lineup should I switch from the Rams to the Packers I would still be thinking about what you actually like because if I got the morning stuff and I still have Stafford puka Higbee and something else like I I might be willing just to hold the ground I think it's a really good spot here and like what do you guys just what do you guys just said it's like they're they're projected to score very similarly to the Packers and the Lions in terms of total points on the slate yeah go ahead

And it's more and it's a more consent can consolidated offense too like the the Packers there can be random shit that pops up same as the Lions you have Josh Jacobs in the mix on the Packers like with the Rams assuming Kuka's healthy you know it's mostly Kyron Kuka and two tight ends that will do all the damage most Likely Yeah, sorry. Go ahead with the Lions game. Take us into this one, preview it, break it down from your perspective.

But we talked earlier, a big thing about this game is there's actually tons of ways you can go and then you just said it again. There's options here that you can roll out and ways to build differently within this game. We'll talk more about it, but give us your first run at it. Yeah. So, I mean, looking at it on the Packers side, I think the Packers side gets more ownership. Well, OK, let me let me phrase it like this. Not necessarily more ownership.

They're getting more ownership than they normally get right in a neutral sort of situation. Follow me on this because it might not make a ton of sense. But in my head, I'm trying to lay it out like. The Packers owned ownership is much higher than it normally is. The Lions offense always gets this sort of ownership that they're getting. Amonra is always fifteen to twenty percent. Goff is always, you know, for the most part, five to ten percent.

Jameer Gibbs is actually getting less ownership than he normally gets. Sam LaPorta, more ownership than he normally gets. You go to the Packers side, everybody on this offense is getting more ownership than they normally get. Jordan Love, highest owned quarterback, getting more than he normally does. Christian Watson, getting more ownership than he normally does. Definitely an age boy, Matthews Golden, getting more ownership. And the same with Tucker Kraft.

So I guess when I look at this, I prefer the lion's side for that reason, because nothing's really changing in terms of where they're typically at on these slates. They're getting ownership like they normally get in a neutral sort of spot. So like Love, you know, probably fifteen to twenty percent. Goff, eight, nine, ten percent. So I love going to the Lions side over the Packers side as my primary stackStackingIn NFL DFS, stacking usually means pairing a quarterback with one or more teammates who catch his passes. Adding an opposing player, called a bring-back, connects your lineup to production from both sides of the game.Before locking a stack, explain how its players benefit together. Then check their actual roles, combined salary and whether adding another player strengthens that connection or just fills a spot.Read the full definition of Stacking.

I want runbacks, obviously, but you have so many more different ways to do it on the Lions side. You have, obviously, Goff. You can go to Amonra, LaPorta, and then Jamison Williams just has to be a phenomenal play on the slate. Nobody is really on him. I think he could even come down the ownership a little bit. He's the forgotten guy on this Lions side. And, you know, I think they're going to continue to feed him with these big shots. It hasn't fully worked out.

He did have the big game a couple of weeks ago. They're going to want him as involved as possible. So I love Jamison Williams. And then we already talked about it with Jameer Gibbs. Like the way this slate is, is kind of shaping up at $9,800 for a running back. You have Christian McCaffrey, $2,000 cheaper. You have B. John McCaffrey. Fifteen hundred dollars cheaper.

Jameer Gibbs at I'm guessing now after we talk through all this all like upper teens has to be a phenomenal play. You can play with golf if you want. Just say give me golf and Gibbs and maybe that's the path to the entire offense. So love this entire line side. I like it more than the Packers side because of ownership and where the ownership is normally at with these guys. But, you know, still playing a lot of love.

Christian Watson, Golden, and Tucker Kraft. You can do the over stack. You can do it in a lot of different ways. The one way this game fully fucks everyone is the guy coming back from suspension that you can't play really. It's going to be Josh Jacobs. If Josh Jacobs comes in here and has a big game, there's going to be a lot of pissed off DFS players because you can't really play them. He sounds like he's going to get his full workload.

The comment just came out where he's going to get normal starting back running back role. So Josh Jacobs has a big game. There's going to be a lot of pissed off people in the afternoon slate. Can't really play him. But, you know, back to the overall point of this game, it's really good. I prefer the line side, though. Yeah, it was forty seven minutes ago. It said expected to get normal allotment of reps for starting running back in Week seven. Don't always trust the news.

We've talked about it a bunch. It's part of it. But when I'm building, I'm building accordingly. I will be playing Josh Jacobs here. I think it's a way if you're not on this game in the afternoon, it's like Hoop said, how does it bust? That's definitely a way that it can bust. I also think the late swapLate SwapIn NFL contests with late swap, you can change unlocked afternoon or evening players after earlier games begin. Only games included in that contest's player pool are available.Before the first games lock, identify affordable backup combinations for your later players. Check that each combination fits the open positions, then confirm your saved changes in every affected entry.Read the full definition of Late Swap stuff is going to bring Gibbs down now.

Like yesterday, I was saying he might be a little bit higher, but now with Puka in, And if people need to move things around in the afternoon, I think if we end up seeing high teens to Hoops point, that wouldn't surprise me. He's probably, I think he's a little over twenty right now. And then if things change up and they will, then he probably comes down a little bit in the Puka news and all that stuff, too.

But the big thing for me, title and Braylon Allen, just to throw that in the mix to the Braylon Allen news, it will definitely bring it down because you go from. Nobody playing a Jets running back to probably twenty percent of the field. And we have double tight ends in play this Week, which is going to limit three running back lineups, which will bring overall ownership at the position down as well. Yeah. Agree on all that. I should note, this is important.

We could have mentioned it off the top, but everyone was saying, Jacobs not on FanDuel. Jacob's not on FanDuel. They did add him. He's $6,800 on FanDuel. So don't forget that. Want to make sure we point it out for you guys. But title, my big thing I was going to point out here and who mentioned earlier.

So Jamo is two hundred bucks less than Golden, who might be the highest owned guy in this game, actually, when it's all said and done from an ownership perspective, two hundred bucks less. And he's the guy that would actually speed it up. He's the guy that would get this game flying back and forth. So I love the Goff stack. I talked about it yesterday on Leverage Lane.

You can go Goff, Amonrod, Jamo, and LaPorta, and then pick your guy on the other side. I still think Golden ownership, again, I hate a high-owned wide receiver on his own, but I get in the game stacksGame StackIn the NFL, a game stack usually combines a quarterback, one or two of his pass catchers and one or more players from the opposing offense.Target games where the spread is close as well as the total high. A high total with a lopsided spread can turn into a blowout where only one side keeps scoring.Read the full definition of Game Stack. He can also speed it up as much as Watson can. I think that was another thing last Week. Wasn't it on the Island game? Did we have a... Sunday night against the Cowboys, Golden and Watson couldn't catch... Yeah, they both couldn't catch.

But it's like people always just assume like Watson the guy that's the get open guy. Golden is getting open, man. Very open. And he dropped like two touchdowns and had one already. So it's like he could add more. But it's fine. I get that's where the ownership is coming from. But how many people are choosing between him or Williams? Or how many people are putting them together in that setup and skipping over the Gibbs and the Crafts and the other guys that are popular in this game?

So how are you thinking about this one when you're building it? Yeah, I mean, I want a lot of exposure to it, and the nice thing is there's a plethora of options. It's Kraft, LaPorta, Aminra, Golden, Gibbs, Jamo. Like, there's so many. I'm on the Packers side more for the sense of I think it's more condensed because I think it's really Golden, Watson, and then as the deep threats, and then Tucker Kraft.

The one guy that no one has mentioned yet that's one of my favorite plays on the slate at ownership is Savion Williams. Yeah, I was going to cut in, but I was like, hey, I'll just let the title take that one. Yeah, he's been my boy. He's an absolute monster in college. And they just haven't unleashed him. And he played over fifty percent of snaps to design rushes. They can get him the ball in a lot of different ways.

But the main thing on this whole slate, you're getting exposure to a game that you want a very high total at very low ownership. And it's right by the buck stuff. The Kate Ottens, the Ted Hurst, all of that. It's just a clear pivot at a fourth of the ownership or whatever it is. I think Savion is a very good play.

I guess I'm a little worried with Jacobs coming back in the sense of like, did Savion just play so much because they couldn't run the football at all? And now that Jacobs is back, are they going to pound it more? And is it going to slow down a bit? I don't know. But when he's showing hardly any ownership at this price tag, I'll definitely take a shot at it. Savion, he's definitely my guy.

Yeah, I think this game is elite like everyone does. I prefer the Packers side. But yeah, Savion's the guy at ownership. And then Gibbs, too. I mean, if he is twenty percent, I just he's plus. What is he? Minus four hundred to score. And I think he's like plus one forty. Let me get the exact minus four hundo. Yeah, plus one forty to score two touchdowns. I mean, Gibbs is just he's a cheat code out there.

So, yeah, it's I want to manually bump Gibbs like when you click me, Johnny, click McCaffrey. It feels nice. But the security, it doesn't feel like McCaffrey back in the day is now what Gibbs is now. It feels like like we've seen these other ones bust the price tag. I'm glad. Yeah, it's getting up there a little bit. I still think it's too cheap. The nature of the slate, though, that's kind of where Savion comes in for savings, too. So, yeah.

Man, if, if Jacobs is getting normal workload and even getting some catches and stuff like that, that's going to be pretty crazy. So again, build accordingly, but it's really, uh, hard to stomach. I know for a lot of people out there that are thinking like, we'd have to go back to this and what's even going to get and all this, you just, you don't know. But if you're not building for that game stack, that's definitely a way to still account for it.

Well, you know, taking care of business on your, the rest of your roster, uh, I also think it's crazy to go back to that Gibbs conversation.

Quick hoop is like you mentioned earlier, the, Green Bay or sorry the Detroit Arizona game and then somebody mentioned too with no lamar on this slate it kind of did put us back into that territory because that would have been the other game that had the fifty five or fifty four point total whatever it started at maybe it's better you know again it went down because of lamar but maybe there's more talk about it people bet it whatever they think it's going to happen so everybody that Week I remember wanted gibbs and they could play gibbs and McBride really easily And it's like dynamics, but it's not like we don't have cheap wide receivers.

We named a ton of them on here. It's not, we have cheap running backs, Braylon Allen and Woods Marks and all this stuff. So you could get, but it doesn't feel like as many people want to play golf and craft and it's way cheaper. Craft is what? $3,000, like $2,000 and change less than McBride was on that slate. Different slates, but price points for price points.

It's Stoll a lot less than that, and you could just play that as a way to get a hold of that game as well, I think, and it doesn't seem like it's super high on. More people are on the stacks in the passing games. Yeah, I fully agree with you on all that. I just have one other thought on the Josh Jacobs thing. Like, if you are...

If you are on other stuff today, let's say you're, you know, you're not really loving this Packers line. You're not loving it, but you like something better and you're building teams that doesn't include a lot of Packers Lions. Yeah. Josh Jacobs becomes a really good play in those lineups because you're going to need Lions Packers to bust. So it's probably more if you're hand building teams and looking for correlationCorrelationCorrelation describes how two players' fantasy scores move together. Positively correlated players tend to have big games at the same time, usually because one player's success directly adds points for the other.When you build a tournament lineup, ask which of your players need the same thing to happen. The more of them that do, the higher your lineup's ceiling.Read the full definition of Correlation.

But yeah, just talking through it with you guys, the way that this game goes South in a hurry, not South, but doesn't fully get there is via Jacobs or via Jameer Gibbs, right? Where Jameer Gibbs just gets everything for the Lions. So, you know, in lineups that does, does not have a ton of Packers Lions, like to me, Jacobs and Gibbs are, are even more appealing. Obviously, it's easier to play Jacobs because of the price. But, yeah, that's just one other thought that I had.

And then, yeah, the save on Williams, I mean, he's free on both sites. So it's that scenario where even if he does bust, you're still alive to do well. And he's $4,000 on FanDuel, which you never see like a $4,000 playable wide receiver for the most part makes roster constructionRoster ConstructionRoster construction is how you organize a DFS lineup within its salary cap and roster rules. It includes where you spend or save, which positions you prioritize, and how your players fit together.Build two versions around your biggest spending decision, then compare every player who changes. Revisit the comparison when injury news changes the available value.Read the full definition of Roster Construction much easier over there. And it won't be highly owned either. I mean, people still aren't going to go down there and play him a ton. I was going to ask you, too.

Somebody had a good one here. Our guy, Steven Nabers. What's Detroit Talk Radio saying on anything over there? I'm sure, yeah, they're stroking it for sure. But to me, it doesn't really change much. You've got to do something, and there's still like ten other guys. So, I don't know. People think – I don't know what the overall perception is, but, you know, they look better against the Cardinals. That's the freaking Cardinals, man. This is the Packers. It's much, much different.

So show me today that your secondary is decent, and then I'll believe it. But for now, I'm under the assumption that this secondary is still Bunz. Yeah, Gibbs Lions DSTDefense/Special Teams (DST)Defense/Special Teams (DST) is a roster selection representing one NFL team's combined defense and special teams, rather than an individual player. It earns fantasy points through sacks, takeaways, defensive and return touchdowns, and other plays, with adjustments for points allowed.Compare what a DST upgrade costs elsewhere in your lineup. If paying more forces you off an important offensive role, check whether a cheaper defense offers a credible path through sacks and turnovers.Read the full definition of Defense/Special Teams is the other side. It's a more expensive version of the Jacobs Packers. But if you wanted to go that route, you'd again be going against, to Hoop's point, a very popular Jordan Love, a very popular Watson, a Golden, et cetera, et cetera. So I don't know.

There's some interesting lineups out there just to think about. But in that same vein, like if you're going... You know, Gibbs and Lions D to go up against a popular Jordan Love and Golden and Watson and craft. You could also put a Watson, Boston Tate in that lineup from earlier going up against a very popular, uh, Titans defense right down there. And then you're doing the same thing inverted with the ability to afford it and build around it.

So anything like that that you can do, I'm always thinking about things like that, especially in smaller fields. It's you're just comboing it up to leverageLeverageLeverage is the edge you gain by rostering a play the field is underweight on, compared with how often it ends up in winning lineups. When that play outscores the popular option most lineups chose instead, you gain ground on those lineups, though the rest of your roster still decides where you finish.Look for leverage on players connected to the chalk, like the other side of a popular game or a teammate who can steal the popular player's touches.Read the full definition of Leverage multiple ways, but it's in a intelligent way, if you will. That's the way I'm thinking about it for this one. So title, any other stuff to add? Anything else you want to talk about here? Two people asked about Jacobs and Gibbs together in the same lineup. Yeah, I just looked at Saversim.

Gibbs is just so elite and such a home run upside where I think you can totally do that because Gibbs is not just your traditional running back. So if you're on Jacobs, I wouldn't be worried not to play Gibbs with them.

There was one other – oh, yeah, Hoops, the guy that asked this question, not – He's going to say over sex, definitely in play. Yeah, it's certainly it's definitely in play. I mean, it's got a fifty six total. You know, how do you go about doing it? For me, it would be the golf side of things. It would be more like, you know, golf. Jameson Williams, for sure. You'd probably have to avoid the Gibbs because it gets too expensive if you include Gibbs.

So it'd probably be like golf, Jameson, and then. Savion's free. That's a way to help. Savion's free on the other side. Yep. So you'd play him. And then, yeah, I'd say, like, I'd do golf with two or three and then two or three Packers on the other side and hope this game just goes nuclear.

And the nice thing about overstacks with the Packers, like, they are taking absolute shots down the field so like I mean it's like perfect like you need the quick scoring they'll they are taking absolute shots down the field and then on the lion side uh tambo brought up a good point earlier with Jameson Williams like that's another way to get this game moving quickly a shot to to jameson so like I definitely would want to include jameson in any and then Savion Williams and then one or two of Watson and Golden because this game could speed up in an absolute hurry.

It could because you have nonstop shots from the Packers all season. They've seen how you beat the Lions. You beat the Lions with those shots down the field. Their secondary is complete trash. And then the Lions with Jamison Williams. There's athletes all over the field. All over the field. Both coaches are going to keep their foot down. They always say it's hard to see these games bust and then they somehow find out.

But, man, it's really hard for me to see this game fully busted. That's the thing about this game. We talk about it so much, but it's important. People are like, oh, but everyone's going to be on it. Okay, here's one. We just talked through it, and I love this now. Let me explain one to you. Jordan Love, Christian Watson, Sav Williams, because I want him in the stack, and now I don't need no cheap loser, some one-offOne-OffIn NFL DFS, a one-off is a player you select outside your stacks, commonly a running back or a receiver without his quarterback. An opposing receiver intentionally paired with your stack instead serves as a bring-back.Before adding a one-off, compare him with an affordable teammate of your existing stack. Decide whether his individual upside is worth passing up that extra scoring connection.Read the full definition of One-Off from another game.

I'm not saying they're losers, but I don't want to play them that way. I'd rather play Sav in the stack. Tucker Kraft grown man shit. And then JMO on the other side, instead of Golden for two hundred bucks less, I got a four one. You're telling me that that can't be four or five touchdowns in this game. And who has that five four one with no, no Gibbs, no Amin, Ron, no LaPorta and no Golden, by the way. But, you know, I just talked about it.

If you don't think that could really happen. Take one guy out of it. I don't care. I'm just saying that that can definitely happen. This game is just going to be a potential for that type of stuff. Back and forth. We got our stack ranking on the Packers side. We know why love is owned. It's just, how can you get different with him? So same as always, not who you play. It's how you play them. It's the same with the games.

It's not, you know, you can move to a different game if you want to just be like, I'm just going to hope that game fails. Oh, Nobody else is going to fail. It could, but it's like there's ways that you could also just play it differently and play it to win. So I think that's important to think about as well. Poop, any other thoughts on this game or final thoughts on the slate from you? A hell of a slate, really, now that we've talked through it all.

I mean, just a ton of different options, ton of ways to go. And like the value on the slate opens up the world in terms of what you can actually build and build uniquely as well. It's clear where a lot of this ownership is going. You know, a couple things that definitely stand out to me now that we've talked through this. I just think Jameer Gibbs has to be upper teens, low twenties. And again, insane to me because yes, he's $9,800.

But someone put in the chat earlier peak Christian McCaffrey. They had his price well into the $10,000 range. We're playing $10,000 like Gibbs has performed better than McCaffrey was doing. So if Gibbs is going to be even around twenty percent. That's insane to me. Like it's just a load up spot in all sorts of formats. And then the Puka thing is definitely standing out to me. You know, I think it's a situation where he's had this questionable tagInjury NewsInjury news is information about a player's health that can change whether they compete, how much they play or how effectively they perform. In DFS, it also affects opportunities for teammates and opponents.Before an uncertain player's game locks, identify an alternative you can afford at each affected position. Check whether making that change would require another player whose game starts earlier.Read the full definition of Injury News all Week.

People are going to like this Lions Packers game that spends like Puka at to me, like in this spot should be like twenty five percent owned. It's coming in like half of that. So that stands out to me as well. But again, overall, it's a really dynamic slate. And I think we're going to get the job done today. Someone's getting all the way up to the top in this thing. That'd be nice. I will say that comment was really solid, too.

When you think about McCaffrey at his peak, obviously incredible. And I think Gibbs is one of the best fantasy players, fantasy points, scores, that type of player that you want on a DraftKings format of all time. But Now we also have other ways to afford him. Like we didn't, when McCaffrey used to be $10,000, and we reminisce it a lot this Week. It's been like ten years I put up the other day. Yeah, when he was $10,000, he was like forty percent.

Everyone just, the lineup came pre-loaded. Everyone was just playing him, and he was like forty percent owned. Now Gibbs...

Is a little cheaper and less owned and we have the value like you said values that we never used to have a $2,500 tight end you can play like more people understanding double tight end defense is right down at $2,000 flat like you got all kinds of ways to go about it to fit them so it shouldn't be because of price and you know just always bit too much and I like this guy a little bit if you actually like gibbs there's a way to get to him and you can find it so title any final thoughts of you on the slate in general Yeah, I think it's a great slate.
