0:00Hey Defenses and Kickers, we are on to Week 7.
0:04Love that intro, it's so much fun. We are having a blast.
0:09The last two weeks we've done very well. Let's just get right to it on our calls of the week.
0:17Our defenses, okay? Smoke them if you got them.
0:20The Steelers, 16.5 fantasy points, 5 sacks, 2 interceptions with a pick 6.
0:25That really saved the day as you were watching it.
0:29Patriots, New England, one of our recommended plays, 11.25 fantasy points.
0:34The Saints, 19.5 fantasy points. Other formats you might have gotten a few less points, but they still hit for you.
0:42They were 3% on ESPN, 21% on Sleeper when we recommended the Saints last week.
0:48A top 5 play this week. You love to see it.
0:52It always feels the best. The Chiefs, 18.75 fantasy points.
0:56They were a top 5 defense as well. And they crushed the Chargers.
1:02The Browns, ever so consistent, 10.25 points. 7th ranking.
1:05You love to see it. You had to wait it out a little bit to see what was up with Lamar, but they really came through.
1:15They've been super consistent. A miss. You gotta wear it sometimes.
1:20We will continue to attack the Titans, but it burned us this time.
1:25The Colts. I don't even think they had 5 fantasy points.
1:29It was rough. Absolute miss. Kickers, we are in fuego.
1:33Back-to-back weeks. Tyler Bass, remember we do the same game play.
1:38Had a lot of fortune and benefit there when we attack both sides of a game for kickers.
1:4517 points. Right now he's tied for 3rd overall for the week.
1:50Tyler Bass for the Buffalo Bills. Matt Gay, on the other side of that 53.5 over-under total.
1:5612 points for himself. 10th overall. Not bad. Spencer Schrader, who has been an absolute demon.
2:039 fantasy points. He's 12th. Kicker number 12. So it's, you know, an RB1, a wide receiver 1.
2:10He's a kicker 1. Some notes for you. Buy weeks.
2:14Week 7 coming up. Bills, Jaguars, Chargers. Oh, thank God for that, right?
2:19And the Commanders. Four teams on buy. Week 7.
2:22Week 8, there are four teams as well. The Texans, the Saints, the Giants, and the 49ers.
2:29Next up, smoke them if you got them. Vikings off of the bye week.
2:35Get the Colts at home. Colts are looking a little bit attack-worthy.
2:40You saw what the Titans did to them this week.
2:43And I'm just starting to eye the Colts a little bit.
2:48They're a little bit suspect. I don't trust them.
2:51But I'm starting to trust the defenses that play against them.
2:56They will be a team that we start to attack.
3:00And when you see lower roster defenses, they'll be on our board for us.
3:05The Texans versus the Giants. Smoke them if you got them defense.
3:10They're highly rostered. But absolutely, roll them out. You know, don't fear.
3:15Browns defense for this week at the Titans. Over-under is currently 36.5.
3:20It's the lowest opening line of the week. The Browns are favored by 1.5 points.
3:2634% roster ship are the Browns on ESPN. 17% on sleepers.
3:30The Browns have five straight games of double-digit fantasy points.
3:34And then five of six games with at least three sacks.
3:38They haven't gotten you less than eight points all season, the Browns defense.
3:43And the Browns have just been a continual bargain bin for us.
3:48So recommended play this week for us. And then next up, Jets defense versus the Dolphins.
3:55The Dolphins are back off the bye week. You love to see it.
4:00Over-under 40.5, the Jets are favored by 5.5 points.
4:03As it sits right now, Jets defense 23% on ESPN.
4:078% on sleeper. The Dolphins are a team. They perpetually draw top 12 defensive performance on a weekly basis.
4:15The Jets are fourth in total defense for yards allowed per game.
4:20Fifth in scoring defense. First in rushing DVOA. Fourth in passing DVOA.
4:24Don't let the stink of the Jets brand keep you away from streaming them.
4:30Next up, we have the Bengals defense at the Ravens.
4:34Ravens favored by three points. Over-under is 50.5. And you say, wait a second, what's going on?
4:41That's a very high total to recommend a defense.
4:44Roster ship for the Bengals. ESPN and sleeper both match 17%.
4:49Remember, we had that bye week. This is contingent, though.
4:52Just like last week with the Browns' recommended play, Lamar Jackson, if he's out not playing, fire up your Bengals.
5:00They have four double-digit games scoring for fantasy. They're averaging the Bengals 3.4 sacks per game.
5:07So the pressure is there. Pressure breaks pipes and it creates mistakes.
5:12This can be a two-week play as well because the Titans are there in week eight.
5:18So fire up your Bengals but monitor Lamar's status.
5:21Next up, Saints defense. You should already have them if you played them last week versus Steelers.
5:28Saints are one-and-a-half point underdogs. The over-under, 44.5. 3% on ESPN, 13% on sleeper.
5:34So the numbers are still down after that beautific week that we had from the Saints.
5:40So the beauty is, though, you already have the Saints.
5:44They got five sacks versus the Giants. It had three interceptions.
5:48This is a play against old man Aaron Rodgers.
5:52Sneakily, the Saints defense. Back-to-back weeks, 16 and 19.5 fantasy points.
5:56So incredibly, though, they've given up 23 and 27 points the last two weeks.
6:02So the Saints are getting it in the form of sacks and turnovers.
6:07You love to see it. Desperation play. Absolute desperation play.
6:11And they burned us last time we had them as a desperation play against the Buccaneers.
6:17But monitor what's going on with the Philadelphia Eagles, this blood clot situation.
6:23I have concern for Jalen Hurts, not Jaden Daniels.
6:26For Jalen Hurts, 11% on ESPN and sleeper are the Cowboys defense.
6:31If every defense on the planet has been picked over, they're worth considering.
6:36But again, turn over every rock, please. Look ahead.
6:40Rams versus the Chargers. So we already know that that's coming up.
6:44And then the Patriots at the Dolphins. Okay. And this is for week eight.
6:50Patriots at the Dolphins. Make sure to hold the New England Patriots defense.
6:55They play the Bears this week. Week seven. I'd fire up the Patriots out again.
7:01Problem is they're going up against Caleb Williams and the Bears.
7:05But keep them on your roster because the Dolphins are back.
7:10Next up, look ahead defense. The Bengals at the Titans.
7:14It should work out in the event Lamar isn't playing.
7:18You'll have the Bengals on your roster for two weeks in a row.
7:23So the Bengals could end up being a sneaky two-week-in-a-row play.
7:27And then keep an eye on the Jaguars getting cut for their bye week.
7:33Because they get again. They get the Colts in week eight.
7:37So there we go. With the Colts are starting to become an offense that we target in these streaming streets.
7:45And now for a word break from Sport.Fun. At Player Profiler, we love Dynasty.
7:51We love Seasonal Leagues. We love DFS. We love it all.
7:55And finally, a game exists that combines everything into one.
7:59In Dynasty, you want shares of players for their careers.
8:03Sport.Fun has that. We want to beat our friends this Sunday and for the full season.
8:09Well, Sport.Fun has that as well. Because Sport.Fun is a fantasy sports trading game where your knowledge of NFL player performances this
8:18week, this season, and for their career matters. So I like to acquire the depressed assets that I know will increase in
8:27value, specifically players that are working through injuries. You get those players when they're on the upswing.
8:34Ride them. Cash them out. Do it again. Ride them up.
8:38Cash them out. Do it again. It's a place you build a long-term portfolio, but you win weekly.
8:45Just like a Dynasty team. If you sign up for a Sport.Fun account now with a link in the description, you build
8:54a portfolio, you hold it for three weeks, and they'll give you a 50% rewards bonus.
9:00We have a channel for it in the Discord.
9:04It's going to be a good time. Thank you, Podfather.
9:08Very excited about that. Sport.Fun, just another opportunity for you to flex your fantasy sports knowledge and savvy.
9:15Let's go over to the kickers. They've been so good to us.
9:20I cannot believe this. Sometimes the show sheet just makes itself.
9:24Will Reichard of the Vikings versus the Colts. How is he available?
9:29I can't believe it. The over-under, 42.5. Vikings favored by 5.5 points.
9:3352% on ESPN. 59% on Sleeper. He needs to be rostered in every league.
9:39Weeks 2 through 5. He had 10, 16, 19, and 16 points.
9:44He's made all five of his 50-yard attempts this season.
9:48Next up, Evan McPherson at the Ravens. Over-under 50.5.
9:51Favored by 3 are the Ravens. Remember, that's the Lamar situation.
9:56That line's going to change depending on all that.
9:5934% on Sleeper is Evan McPherson. 22% on ESPN.
10:03And he started the season 19, 12, and 11, Evan McPherson.
10:07The two weeks before this bye week, just last week, were five and seven point totals.
10:14A lot of touchdowns by the Bengals. So it was just the extra point route.
10:19And that happens sometimes. It's just when you have a good kicker tied to a good offense, sometimes the chop ends up that way.
10:29But look for more variance on that department and McPherson to go lay a 10-point game.
10:35The combo of those two weeks in that bye is going to make him easy to get off waivers.
10:43And then this one feels really good. Chase McLaughlin at the Panthers.
10:48Over-under 44.5. Panthers favored by 3. McPherson, or sorry, not McLaughlin.
10:5219% on ESPN. 27% on Sleeper. 17 points week 6 against the Steelers.
10:57Going to go back to Chase McLaughlin at the Panthers.
11:01My mic got muted. Over-under is 44.5. Panthers favored by 3.
11:0619% on ESPN. 27% on Sleeper. 17 points week 6 against the Steelers.
11:11He's crushed two 40-yarders and a 50-yard field goal last week.
11:15Expect stall drives and trust from this coaching staff.
11:19A few weeks ago, I mentioned that McLaughlin, he's a good kicker stuck on a bad offense with Baker out.
11:27But the stall drives are working to his benefit.
11:30So go out and get Chase McLaughlin. Bonus kickers.
11:34Same game play. They've been good to us. See same game plays.
11:38So let's go with the Packers and Lions. Trace Mack at the Lions in the Dome.
11:4552 point. Over-under. 12% on ESPN. 45% on Sleeper.
11:48Same game play. On the other side, Jake Bates.
11:5218 and 10 points the last two games. Has three games with seven points.
11:5739% on ESPN. 38% on Sleeper. Those are your kickers.
12:01Those are your defense. I've been Coach Retzlaff. We will see you next week.
12:07All right. That was awesome.
