0:00Great week last week on the program. My favorite pick against the spread easily hit.
0:04Nez's favorite pick against the spread easily hit filled in for my dude Dave.
0:08As my guy Dave was too busy winning $50,000.
0:11We're going to cover that a little bit later on the program.
0:14We're going to go over his VR lineup. We are going to make some picks against the spread.
0:20We're going to fire some props. We are going to talk about the touchdown survivor over on Splash Sports, then survivor as well.
0:26My favorite pick against the spread. I'm actually going back to the well of the only loss.
0:31I have on the year. The Jacksonville Jaguars failed to beat the Denver Broncos, but I'm going back to the well.
0:37I think the Jags are an absolute wagon Dave.
0:40I think that the Jacksonville Jaguars are basically outside of the Chiefs.
0:43I think they're the class of the AFC and if we were only evaluating teams on the context of this year and
0:49just not their historical context, I think they're the best team in the AFC.
0:54I think they're better than the Bills because I think their defense is much, much better than the Bills.
0:59Their run defense is insane. We're talking like historical top tier run defense.
1:03They're top five in every DVOA metric, top five in every EPA per play metric.
1:07I don't know about you. I'm a little unconvinced by this idea that the Bengals defense is all of a sudden very, very good.
1:14Well, the Bengals defense has definitely improved with Definitely improved.
1:17I'm a little unconvinced at Lawrence, but I'm really excited for this game just from the aspect that we haven't seen the Jags gotten pushed that much.
1:25So I'm excited to see if the Bengals will be able to bounce back and kind of have like a good classic shootout with the Jags.
1:32I'm looking forward to this game. I like the Jags side though.
1:35I do. I do hope that we do get a, a shutout or a, like a legitimate shootout here, but basically one
1:42of the big reasons I think to be in on the Jags is that the Jags have done a great, a great job protecting Trevor Lawrence thus far.
1:50He's only faced pressure on 20% of his dropbacks.
1:52He's got 2.4 average time to throw. He's only been sacked four times in three games.
1:57So it's just like really, really hard for opposing defenses to generate pressure on Trevor Lawrence.
2:02And then you also have, um, you know, I mean, you, you've got like these really, really good receivers.
2:07Like I think that's one of the things that still is not really surfaced in mainstream football discussion is just how much having good receivers impacts quarterback play.
2:15Like we've just seen it time and time again, these great quarterbacks, when you take away their great receivers, like my homes
2:22looks positively pedestrian last season with a bad run game, bad receivers.
2:25We've seen it with Burrow would chase off the field.
2:28I mean, we've certainly seen it in Lawrence's career before the Jags had all these receivers.
2:32I mean, we've seen Trevor Lawrence look terrible. Yeah.
2:35Um, yeah, I just, yeah, kind of put a bow on that.
2:38Just like the Jags are wagon and I don't think the market's really giving them that credit yet.
2:44So I actually took him to win the Superbowl, uh, earlier in the week.
2:48So, wow. Took him to win at what number?
2:50Uh, I think, was it for, let me, let me double check.
2:54That's pretty, that's pretty good. I, I, I actually, I honestly, like, I actually like that.
2:58So right now, I mean, frankly, there's no chance I would bet the Rams, the bills, the Niners or the Ravens, these
3:05numbers best to me, best number on the board.
3:07I actually quite like, I actually quite like, uh, that 22 to one number on the Jags right there.
3:13I think that's really strong. I like the Patriots or the Vikings being listed at the same tier.
3:18No, no chance. Completely, completely disagree with that. Yeah.
3:20I took them 20 to one on Bovada. They're 19 to one on FanDuel, 22 to one on, on DraftKings.
3:26Uh, yeah, I just, I just think the market's not giving them enough credit at this price.
3:31I'm totally cool taking that gamble. So, uh, yeah, give me some Jags futures.
3:35And then I like the Jags money line this week.
3:38I think there's a, there's a good chance, not good chance, but I think there's a decent chance that I can get the one seed this year.
3:46So. Yeah. All right. Uh, do you have a favorite pick against the spread this week?
3:50I do. Uh, give me the Vikings minus 11 minus 10 and a half, uh, versus the dolphins.
3:56I understand college not playing great football. I understand Justin Jefferson might not be in this game.
4:00Uh, I just think the field position battle against Brian Forrest is going to be too good for the, for the Vikings
4:07to, to really not just absolutely slam the dolphins.
4:09I wouldn't be surprised if they won like 21 to zero.
4:13So like the Vikings this week. All right. I'm in the done bed.
4:16Uh, every week I am betting $50 of my own money on all of these picks.
4:21And then we're going to fire a bunch of props as well.
4:24I mean, this is one of the most interesting games.
4:27We're going to get into it a little bit more when we talk survivor, but it's like kind of the, the immovable
4:34force meets the very, very stoppable object. The dolphins, I mean, maybe for half a possession, they were kind of in it
4:40against the chiefs because they got, uh, they got a lucky bounce of the ball.
4:44They're not generating any pressure. They're not generating any pressure.
4:47They are, you know, bottom five in all the EPA and DVOA stats.
4:51The Vikings offense through three games has been brutal.
4:53I don't know. I it's, it's hard for me to say Kyler is going to be this bad for the entirety of the season.
5:00And it's hard for me to think KOC can't get more out of these guys.
5:05I mean, missing Jefferson is a big deal, but they can probably just run in this game.
5:10I mean, and the deep, the dude Malik Willis versus Brian floors, that is insane mismatch.
5:14And then even like if they had a chain, if they had, uh, Caleb Douglas, like still, I think they'd be drawing
5:20pretty close to dead, but like the lack of talent, I just think Brian for is going to give this, this offense hell.
5:27So I think we're going to see a lot of position, a lot of field positions around like the, their own 50 and whatnot.
5:34So I'm excited for this game from, uh, how badly, uh, are the dolphins going to do against Brian floors perspective?
5:40Yeah. You know, Brian floors is one of the few guys like they're, they're, um, it's a lot of defensive coordinators whose
5:46names we know that, uh, that we quickly forget.
5:49Like, remember when Lou Amaruno was supposed to have, like, he cracked the code, like, Oh, he's the guy, he's the guy
5:55who, uh, you know, can shut down Patrick Mahomes.
5:58Right. And a lot of that, a lot of the times that's more like personnel based, but with floors, it's not, it's
6:04like his defense has always traveled with him. He always has these really crazy exotic blitz schemes.
6:09And the thing, I think clearly the spot you don't want the dolphins and Malik Willison is being down a touchdown, being down 10 points.
6:16I mean, we saw it in the second half against Kansas city was just like, they got down 10 points and that was it.
6:23And frankly, you know, a chant it's hard to, it's hard to say a running back is like worth too much versus the spread.
6:30But a Chan is probably on the context of this team.
6:33He's got to be worth a point or two because his replacements are two of the least efficient running backs in the entire NFL.
6:40And the whole team is built around like running and running the ball and keeping possession of the ball.
6:46Yeah. The only way I see this, like really going south is if Kyler really just is as like he has been
6:52this entire season and since his late stay with the Cardinals.
6:55Uh, but I really just think they're just going to run, establish the fuck out of the run and, um, uh, get some Aaron Jones and nice touchdown.
7:03We'll talk a little bit more about that later in the show, but yeah, give me Vikings minus 10 and a half minus one Oh eight.
7:11All right. There we go. Two favorite picks against the spread.
7:14Uh, got both of those purchased myself, the Minnesota Vikings minus 10 and a half points.
7:18And I just took, instead of taking the two and a half points, I just took the Jacksonville Jaguars money line.
7:24Now we are going to go fire some of our favorite, uh, player props this week.
7:29And, uh, first one for me to begin with is, uh, my absolute favorite one is, uh, I mean, I can't, I
7:35actually can't believe that this is how Josh downs is being priced.
7:39I mean, either five and a half receptions or 62 and a half yards.
7:43He is going to be facing primary coverage from a man whose nickname is stand real still.
7:48Uh, the commander's past defense has been brutal, brutal through two games.
7:51And actually, if you look at who, what, if Josh downs becomes like his final evolution, who is he like going to play like?
7:58And it's going to be the guy who destroyed them for 40 fantasy points last week.
8:03Jackson Smith, the chick, but I'm not saying Josh downs is that good.
8:06I'm not saying he isn't that good either though.
8:09Um, I love Josh downs. So Josh downs hires, uh, really interesting thing is he finally has like a real depth, average
8:15depth of target because Keenan and Tyler Warner doing the short area stuff there is his average depth of target starts with
8:22two digits for the first time in his career this year.
8:25Oh, wow. Okay. I did not know that, but yeah, this is just like an easy, uh, just bet the over and close your eyes.
8:32And I love Josh downs this week. It's, uh, don't need to talk too much about it.
8:37Yeah. Uh, and I mean, as, as, as, as you would think, we got the, the boys over here on Mike nuggets,
8:43you know, they're, they're, they're on it. Steichen obviously knows like his offense without Alec Pierce and without Michael Pittman Jr.
8:49Gone, like downs has been the center of what they're doing.
8:52We are going to take starting off our Sunday morning in the London game.
8:56I'm just going to do the 62 and a half receiving yards here for, uh, for my favorite.
9:02And you can take that across the board. I've got that worked in on draft Kings.
9:06I've got that worked in on that three, six, five, but we're just going to fire here on the, uh, the old dog app.
9:13I love it. This is a easy click for me, uh, onto my pick.
9:17Let's go onto the theme of this Jags team.
9:20It's just an absolute wagon. Let's see some props.
9:22I got a nice quote about him. Um, yeah, let's see a little bit more into two.
9:27The Bengals run defense is a lot better than it has in years past.
9:31Uh, but I still just, I just can't stop betting on this Jags team.
9:35Uh, what is his longest rush, uh, rush total?
9:38All right. I'm going to guess, I'm just guessing.
9:40Yeah. This is longest. I'm going to guess longest rush.
9:4316 and a half. Longest rush, 14 and a half.
9:46Yeah. 14 and a half. I think that's all day.
9:49So Liam Cohen on, oh, this was this morning.
9:52Actually, he was kind of talking about how much, much better, uh, tootin has been as a back this year and how
9:58he's been not so much getting to the like first or like getting past to the second level.
10:03Uh, so I kind of think they're going to try to scheme up some things in this game and get him to break one loose.
10:10Cause he's kind of saying like, Hey, he's done everything great, but he hasn't done like the one thing he's really good at is breaking these 60 yarders.
10:18We haven't seen that yet. Uh, so I, I'm going to bet that we see that this week.
10:24Yeah. I love it. And I feel like it's, it's kind of one of those really interesting things that happens with guys like tootin.
10:31Like, um, do you like the, the favorite stat that everyone loves right now is he hasn't had any rushes longer than 15 yards.
10:37And you know what? That's that stat really reminds me of how, for the first two years of B.
10:43John Robinson's career, the stat was, you know, B.
10:45John Robinson, he's just great player, but he doesn't have any plays over 30 yards in his NFL career.
10:51And then obviously in year three, it's just like 60 yard touchdown, 70 yard touchdown, 80 yard touchdown.
10:56Like no one can stop him. And not that, not that by shell tootin is as good as B.
11:02John Robinson. Again, not saying he's not either. I think, I think that tootin is, is like, you know, I'm like my
11:08like redraft stuff, like rest of season rankings. I have him like way higher than consensus because he's producing right now with the Jags playing four running backs.
11:16I don't, I think in like serious games like this against the team, uh, you know, that is really good.
11:22And, and that this, this result by the way, will matter for potential like playoff tiebreaker type stuff.
11:27I think the Jags are going to go all in here.
11:30I think we probably get like two, 22 touches in this game.
11:34So I love this one. Yeah. Just the coach speak around him had just like slowly and slowly got it more and
11:40more positive as the season has gone on. And yeah, I really like tootin this week.
11:44I think there's a lot of reasons to think why he can get, you know, a 15 yard rush, uh, even though he hasn't had that this year.
11:52Yeah. I, uh, I love that. Okay. All right.
11:55My next one. I mean, I, you know, it, it, people, people hate talking about the bears receivers.
12:00All anyone wants to talk about is Kali Freeman.
12:03I actually kind of think that this stuff is getting ridiculous because Luther burden is having a totally fine start to the
12:09year, but you would think the way people are talking about this guy that he's having like Marvin Harrison juniors start to the season.
12:16Uh, this dude had 11 targets, had a designed touchdown, like specifically for him last week.
12:21I'm going to take the 46 and a half receiving yards.
12:24I do think probably, I actually think Baygent will probably start this game.
12:28Um, I, I, you know, of course, uh, Ben Johns, I mean, this is classic football guy stuff.
12:33Hasn't been willing to say who is going to start, but I do think it will probably be Baygent, which is fine by me.
12:40You know, I think Baygent is going to do, a really similar thing to case Keenum.
12:44Like he's just going to, he's going to point and deliver, right?
12:48I mean, that is why the offense looked a little bit more like a normal NFL offense last week.
12:53Cause although, you know, the case Keenum stuff, it was a fun game and everything.
12:58He had two passes that the defender had been a little bit more locked in.
13:02Those are going for six the other way. Like it was not like case Keenum had the greatest game anyone's ever seen.
13:08No, I think people forgetting that. I think he was like really testing the out routes on Monday.
13:13And yeah, I personally think we see Tyson, but I don't think that really matters for, for burdens, yards or receptions or any of his props.
13:21Yes. Um, all right. Give me a fourth one.
13:23Cause I've, I've realized this with doing three, the, the highest EV, um, stuff you can do on underdog, assuming all the
13:30picks are from different games is the, the flex four.
13:33So, uh, we, I, I, I, I had known that, but had forgot to, uh, to put that in play.
13:38So, uh, give me a, give me another one you want to look at.
13:42Okay. Are we going to do like a four legger and then like a more degenerate?
13:47Yes. Okay. We will get more degenerate. Okay. I will give you a little bit safer as they call it.
13:53Let me see Bucky Irving's props. Okay. Uh, Bucky, or I bet they're going to be fairly low.
13:58Yeah. These are, these are really in the context of Bucky Irving.
14:01These are not particularly high. Yeah. I am good with any of these, whether it's rush yards or longest rush, I would
14:08like to pick your brain on that, but basically Zach Robinson came out yesterday and said like, Hey, uh, we want to
14:14get Kenny Gainwell more involved, but he hasn't really proved to us that he's worth the touches and Bucky's kind of been balling out.
14:21So to me, uh, if you go to that second, um, if you, uh, type in Kenny Gainwell, Gainwell, cause it was,
14:27it was a quote about Kenneth Gainwell, but then he talks a little bit more about Bucky, but, uh, yeah, that second quote right there.
14:34Uh, if chat wants to read it or if you want to read it, but to me that reads as like, Hey, Bucky Irving's been outstanding.
14:42We know we have Kenny Gainwell. He has to prove to us that he has to get on the field before we take some touches away from Bucky.
14:50So, uh, given that you now have a much more mobile QB, I know Jalen Daniels is in like some superstar world
14:56beater in terms of his legs, but I really think, uh, just given the state of the Packers defense and the game
15:03plan, the Bucks are going to approach with, they're just really, really, really going to try to establish around this game.
15:09And, uh, 55 yards seems a little bit tad low.
15:12Why don't we just do, why don't we just do the rushing attempts?
15:15I mean, yards yards is fine too, but I actually completely agree with your analysis there.
15:20I think, look, I would love for Jalen Daniels is awesome in this game.
15:24I don't think he is going to be, I think it would be really cool.
15:28It'd be a cool story if he was, but I, and I, I actually liked that quote a good bit because the
15:35playing time between Bucky and Gainwell was like, obviously, I mean, a huge discussion point for all of us this off season.
15:41I mean, Gainwell, they get paid a good bit of money, but they really haven't used him at all.
15:46And then Bucky was not out there for the final drive.
15:50And there was like a little bit of, uh, of coach speak about it being like Bucky messed up, like a pass protection thing or whatever.
15:57But again, we're not really worried about that in this game.
16:00Cause we're anticipating the Buccaneers trying to actually keep this one on the ground, um, as much as possible.
16:06So we're going to do that. And then if I do flex for 75 bucks, that gets us to a flex for, for play for up to 500.
16:14Oh, I've reached my, I've already reached my limit.
16:16I'm limited. I'm limited on by shell toot. And how many props have you taken on him this week, buddy?
16:22Like that's a lot. Apparently let's see, let's see the lowest amount I can do for this.
16:27Okay. All right. I'm subbing out. I'm subbing out.
16:30We can audible on this one. We got an audible because I apparently, apparently I've been limited on by shell.
16:35Um, this is so actually, I'm going to leave this for the, for the more of the general play, but let me see some neighbors props.
16:43Um, I know the game environment could be kind of good 50.
16:46God, I don't want to bet. I was going to 54 is high.
16:50Yeah. I wasn't, I was going to advocate for a lower on him just given he came on the mic yesterday and
16:56basically said like, yeah, I don't trust my needs still.
16:59Like this is, I don't, I don't feel good.
17:02And just given how we've seen James Winston play, like, I think there's like an off chance that this dude's, uh, arm
17:08is just shot, but just betting under 54 yards for, for someone like Malik neighbors does not feel good.
17:14I don't want to advocate that for the viewers.
17:16It looks like you have something, something in mind.
17:19I do. I do got this one. Uh, we're just going to swap out by shell tootin for Jeremiah fantasy points, 13.55.
17:25This is one of my, this is one of my biggest stances this week in the, um, in the BRs and, and in draft Kings.
17:32I mean, he's $5,800 on draft Kings, but I think they showed us last week that like it's, it's go time.
17:38They took him, you know, third overall for a reason.
17:41And the thing that I think was a little bit missed in the, the Tyler algae or tilt the first couple of
17:47weeks of the season was this dude was coming off of a high ankle sprain.
17:52Like we had kind of gotten forgotten because he just played in week one and then, you know, didn't limp off the
17:58field or anything, but I think he's probably just fully healthy to go here.
18:02And this is a game like they can just win.
18:05They can just win this game. Like they're like, this is going to be a totally competitive game.
18:10So we're going to go 13.55 fantasy points and then hope that I'm okay.
18:14Now I'm, now I'm location limited. We're having a, we're having a, we're having a tough time.
18:19I mean, this does, this does happen to me every so often, but, uh, I mean, yeah, where are you, where are
18:25you at on Jeremiah love and the BRs and stuff this week?
18:29Yeah, I was fading. So I've only done 30 so far and I did some before, uh, the ETR projections came out.
18:35Uh, and it was going a little early, uh, for my liking in the week, he was going around like ADP 12.
18:42I will give some context and just like some devil's advocate to, to your thesis is that Michael, Michael floor, uh, again, this was two weeks ago.
18:49So this was not, this was not after last game, but he was really just kind of saying like, this is a long season.
18:56Uh, we kind of just going with the hot hand approach.
18:59Uh, again, this was, this was two weeks ago, so I don't want to read too much into it, but it's just
19:06kind of in the back of my mind. Again, this is since this quote, he has now had, this is from September 18th.
19:12So again, very long ago, uh, since this quote, Jeremiah love has now, uh, a 20 something touch game and, and went off, uh, this past week.
19:20So I don't want to read too much into it.
19:23I just still think there is a slight possibility.
19:26It's still a hot hand approach, not just like a, Oh, this is just Jeremiah loves backfield now.
19:31So, um, not, not that quote doesn't like move me enough for me to like sway off that bed or anything.
19:37I'm just, you know, keep that in the back of my mind, but, uh, yeah, I just think they, you know, if
19:43the coaches are smart, they should just feed the fuck out of this guy.
19:47He's clearly their best back and they can definitely beat the giants this week.
19:51Uh, we're just leaning on that run game. So I think they're, they might even be, I think there may be even favorites in this game.
19:59It's in New York. So I would be shocked that their favorites, um, or let me look for you.
20:04I got you. NFL lines. I think they, they are.
20:07Okay. Wow. They are. They are. They're two and a half point favorites.
20:11Two and a half point favorites in, uh, in New York.
20:14That is crazy, man. All right. Isn't it insane?
20:16Um, yeah, if that's the case, yeah, let's, let's lean into this Jeremiah.
20:20I love, uh, usage from last week and let's just ignore the quote from two weeks ago.
20:25They must be, they must just be telling us that, um, um, James Winston is just shot.
20:30He's just, he's just, he's just completely cooked. I bet we see JJ start by week nine.
20:35Yeah. Oh, God damn it. I didn't mean to do that, but, but, uh, yes, I think after their buy, they go
20:41like Texans week seven, I think a buy in week eight.
20:44And then I wouldn't be shocked if we saw JJ then.
20:48All right. Well, I have to figure out my location stuff.
20:51So let's talk about your, uh, let's talk about your BR sweat from last week while I try to figure out the, uh, the location stuff.
20:58So shipped 50 K in the main BR Purdy Gibbs cook, Garrett Wilson, scroll the F down for Michael Wilson, George Kittle.
21:04Uh, I mean, right. I, what, bro, I mean, talk me through your process.
21:09Talk to me how you're, you're drafting these. Talk me through Michael Wilson.
21:12Like, uh, what's your, what's kind of your weekly BR process like?
21:16Yeah. So I kind of have like a similar process as I did with the dog bowl last year.
21:21And like, honestly, thank God there's no dog bowl this year.
21:24Cause I would just be funding this money every week, trying to get a ticket.
21:29Um, but from like the top down, there's this quote from literally from before the season even started.
21:34It was kind of Michael floor talking about, uh, the zero and his offense and how Puka is kind of like the, the visionary of that.
21:41And obviously Puka or Michael Wilson is not Puka Nakua, but just the way they're deployed, he was kind of comparing them,
21:48uh, to Robert Woods at the past Puka Nakua of last year.
21:51So that was always in the back of my mind.
21:54So I knew coming into the seasons, like, okay, I want to play Michael Wilson at some, some week.
21:59If the ownership like didn't carry over from last year, I know he went off at the end of the last season.
22:06Uh, so like week one against the Chargers is like, no, I don't want this obviously against Seattle week too.
22:12I definitely didn't want it. Week three against the Niners.
22:14We know they're really banged up. This quote has just been in the back of my mind for literally a month and a half now.
22:22It's like, okay, this is a perfect place to play Michael Wilson.
22:25He's going to be a really long guy. The projections were, uh, still good for like a scroll down option in the sixth round in the BR streets.
22:33So, uh, I really just like this game environment in general.
22:36It was my favorite one to attack for the week.
22:39Uh, so yeah, it was just pretty easy decision for me to scroll down there.
22:43So I think there's a 114 Michael Wilson teams drafted in the BR.
22:47Uh, and I think I had like 17 of them.
22:50So I was very, very overweight the field on Michael Wilson.
22:53And I would say probably half of those were correlated, uh, within this game environment.
22:58So this is a nice little, uh, win for the correlation bros.
23:01I have Brock Purdy correlated with obviously kiddle bring back Michael Wilson and then Gibbs bring back with, with Garrett Wilson or
23:07Jameer Gibbs brought back with, uh, Garrett Wilson. So got the Wilson brothers helping me ship 50 K.
23:12And then I also got four plays. So that's not, I don't think that's in the screenshot or in the tweet, but
23:19I had the same exact lineup, uh, just one V one with, uh, Jacobi Brissett instead of Michael Wilson.
23:24So, uh, yeah, obviously you have to run really good.
23:27Like I was fading so many things at the end of the game.
23:31Like I was fading, uh, a lava garbage time.
23:33Chuck was getting there. He ended up throwing two picks.
23:36I was fading like the Cowboys overtime game. And for the first time in my entire life, I was like, rain Dakota Prescott.
23:43I am praying on your downfall. Please throw a fucking pick or something.
23:47So this game ends and thankfully didn't have to throw a pick, which is Brian shot.
23:51And I'm recalling the horrible game at the very end, uh, to help me secure a victory, but I'm pretty sure I don't, I don't win this.
23:59If that game goes into OT, cause there's some, uh, CD and Derek, Derek Henry teams behind me.
24:04Um, but yeah, obviously got lucky and a lot of ways, but also the scroll down felt pretty good this past week.
24:11Uh, then the higher week I didn't hear his name get brought up a single time.
24:15I was like, this is like a very high total.
24:18Like there's expected to be chucking the ball. Like I don't understand it.
24:22So I took a strong stand and thankfully it worked out.
24:25You know, I mean, to some degree, we like to think that like a lot of us like to think like all
24:31fantasy sports are like kind of solved. Everyone just like runs the projections and then, you know, it's just, we, we exist
24:38in one version of the Sims, but in, if you ran this slate over 900 times, you know, our lineups would be
24:44plus EV or whatever, but also people can't help, but be game log bros.
24:48Like if Michael Wilson has not had a good game yet this season, he's just not going to project that well.
24:54And he's not going to get any, and even if he projects fine, if he projects, if, if the wide receiver 35
25:00in a BR slate projects the same as the wide receiver 16, it doesn't matter.
25:05People are still not going to click the guy who hasn't had a good game yet.
25:09Now that Michael Wilson has had a good game, we'll probably, well, and he will probably be clicked for the rest of
25:16the year more often than his projection would indicate.
25:18Right. Um, I mean, that is just, that is just the way that it's just the way things go.
25:24Like they're there. And, and frankly, it's also a format is like, as your results from last week would indicate, it's actually
25:30like a pretty good format for betting your hunches when the rest of the field is not doing it.
25:35Right. So, um, I mean, I haven't, I've, I think I've literally drafted like two this week.
25:40I haven't started drafting any yet, but it's a pretty good format where if, um, I don't know, like, let's say, let's
25:47say you had a hunch this week on Tucker craft or whatever, you know, it's like a pretty good, pretty good week
25:53to do the hunch or, or maybe your, your hunch is, uh, Gadsden gets a bunch of targets with Lad McConkie banged
25:59up or something because people way overdraft the marginal guys, like the quarterback five, the tight end seven, the wide receiver 13, the running back 14.
26:07These guys are way over-owned relative to guys who project effectively the exact same as them.
26:11Yeah. And really just like, I guess it's just like more evergreen.
26:15This goes for like any VR contest, but it really is just like building a strongly projected team, like the first four
26:21to five rounds, and then just kind of scrolling down in a, in a correlated way, uh, to where it makes sense.
26:28Like I wasn't giving up that much projection when scrolling down to Michael Wilson.
26:32Uh, to me, he wasn't that much different than the wide receivers going at the very end of round five and six.
26:38So yeah, just build like strong teams at the beginning and then, you know, tagging on with someone late that still projects well.
26:44So, uh, easier said than done trying to find which player that is, but, uh, it's a pretty good process and just,
26:51you know, build a good team or build a well, well, well correlated and projected team in the first few rounds and then, and then scroll down.
26:59It's something that we've all been advocating for years, but a lot of people still don't do so.
27:04It's pretty, it's pretty simple. Uh, I was, I was, I was able, I was able to figure it out.
27:10I had to open up a different window, but I got it up in, I got us up in, uh, in Firefox.
27:16So here's, uh, here's the pick Jeremiah love higher than 13.55 fantasy points, Josh downs higher than 62 and a half receiving
27:22yards, Luther burden higher than 46 and a half receiving yards, Bucky Irving higher than 13 and a half rush attempts.
27:28We, we got it. We shipped it. We are, we are, we are very happy about where we're at.
27:34Right here. I love it. I feel good about this one.
27:37And now we can go a little bit more degenerate.
27:40I wasn't able to tune into the show last week.
27:43Was your, as is, uh, pick them close to hitting.
27:45I think we had our first two weeks or we hit the first week, right?
27:50And then we hit, we hit, we hit, we hit the first week and we hit the, we, if you flexed it
27:56the, uh, the second week we got it. Um, I mean, obviously I have, uh, a million, uh, picks sitting in here.
28:02So it's hard for me to remember a couple of good ones last night.
28:06Looks like this was one. I don't even remember what that one was.
28:10Uh, man, I maybe should, maybe you should stop doing so many of these.
28:14Uh, I do one a week and it's just the one that we do on the show.
28:19Cause otherwise if I do more than one, it's just going to get way, way too donkey on my end.
28:25So yeah. Uh, you know what? No, we, uh, we didn't get there because this is it right here.
28:30And, uh, which it's whichever one of these $50 ones, but we didn't, Oh, JCM didn't score.
28:35There you go. Oh, is that the Cowboys? Oh yeah.
28:38That's when, um, when Mariota came in and, and, um, yeah.
28:41Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yes. Unfortunately. Uh, all right. So now, now we can donk it up.
28:46We've done, we've done one serious one. Now we can donk it up with an eight legger.
28:51This is going to be gross. I kind of want to tag on to what we just did so we can, uh,
28:57uh, the downs and all that at the very end.
29:00Let me see. God, I can't believe I'm about to say this out loud.
29:04Let me see if there's any Jordan Watkins or Brandon cooks lines.
29:07Um, Watkins for just a touchdown. No, there's no, no.
29:10Okay. If they had like a, uh, I would say Chad, if like either one of those players are aligned, um, early
29:17on Sunday morning, that's something I would look into.
29:19Um, but obviously we can't take any of that right now.
29:22So one, uh, another one I want to see is a span forward, the tight end for the Cowboys.
29:28They should, they should have him there. Yes. All day.
29:31All day. So there has been receiving yards, um, from shoddy from, uh, Clayton Adams, the OC there's just been, uh, this
29:37has just been a drum drum beat over the summer, but they just love this guy, man.
29:42And he's playing a lot of snaps, just given how good his run run blocking is.
29:47Um, and it's now developing more of like a pass game role.
29:50So, uh, I do like just, uh, I don't know if you want to go one reception or four receiving yards or
29:56whichever one you prefer, uh, to me, it's basically the same thing, I guess.
30:00Yes. Um, just slightly better odds for three and a half receiving yards.
30:04Let's slide. Should we slide to nine and a half?
30:07I mean, uh, sure. Like I, I, I, I cannot advocate for it, but just given the coach speak on him, like
30:13it makes me bullish that he's going to get more than, than, uh, four receiving yards.
30:18So. I mean, he had two, he had two for 14 last week.
30:22He had one for 19 in week one. He is legitimately playing, uh, about a court.
30:26I mean, about 33, like about, about a third, about a third of the offensive snaps and his snaps are trending up and Jake Ferguson, I'll do respect.
30:34Not very good. No, he's not very good. He's just fine.
30:37Fumbles every 18 touches. Imagine that. Imagine if you're running back and you fumble.
30:42That's actually great. That's actually a crazy stat. Yeah.
30:44That is, um, that is insane. Uh, all right.
30:47So I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna, if we're, if we're really doing this, I'm taking, uh, Derek Henry to score, to score two tuds.
30:54Okay. I'm taking Derek Henry, not one, but two tuds 3.16 X right there.
30:58I, uh, you know, I don't, I don't, uh, participate.
31:01I don't trade very much on the prediction markets, but the best, uh, the best price out there right now on Derek
31:07Henry, just to score a touchdown period is on call.
31:10She it's like right about like minus 200. So I just unloaded everything I had on my prediction market account on that
31:16for a, for an easy, uh, I guess not a double up, I guess, uh, a 50% up.
31:21I love it. Um, let me see some Kyron reception props.
31:25Dude, he played so good last week. He was okay.
31:28And, uh, the, the offensive coordinator, uh, Nate, uh, Scalahassie or however you say his last name, uh, really came on yesterday
31:34and just like this dude has gotten so much better over the summer.
31:38He really prioritized his past, uh, past catching chops.
31:40Uh, and that the staff just has so much more trust in him this season compared to years, years past.
31:46So, uh, I want to see, yeah, maybe how I kind of like longest reception eight and a half.
31:51Um, that one's a little donkey, but I just want to play something to his receiving yards.
31:56Whether this is receptions, receiving yards, or we'll just do, we'll just do 14 and a half receiving yards.
32:02Cause I actually know from your, from your coworkers, they, uh, Cody Maine referenced this, but the, the, like historically some of
32:08the biggest house edge losing money for is the just total receptions, not receiving yards, but just receptions running backs.
32:14Those are some of the, those are some of the best for the, uh, the sports books.
32:19So we'll just take the, the receiving yards. Yeah.
32:21And I keep on bringing up this coach speak.
32:24If you guys are not familiar with Mike nuggets, it is the fastest by far the fastest coach speaks players, speak GM speak in the industry.
32:31You can get it for nine 99 a month or $99 for the year.
32:35Uh, and we also have like a very good injury tracker.
32:39That's a pretty speedy. And then a bunch of player blurbs.
32:42If you don't want to, uh, look into all the quote feeds, you can just look up a player and see like
32:48more of a summarize version of a bunch of their quotes.
32:51But, uh, I don't want to read out every single quote because some of these are pretty long.
32:56I don't want you guys don't need to hear me read, you know, a minute long quote about Brevin's fan forward, but, uh, yeah, check that out.
33:04If you have not already, uh, we also tweet some of the, some of the clips.
33:09So yeah, check that out. Part of my, part of my information diet for sure.
33:13As I'm going through all these. All right. Uh, so that was Kyron Williams receiving yards.
33:18I want to scroll through the games here. Oh, but I want to see money lines.
33:22And so we just go into the pile into the Jags.
33:25Oh yeah, we can pile into the Jags. Let's toss in.
33:29Let's toss in the Jags to win at 2.2 X.
33:32That's a nice little one. I want to see what is available for Caleb Johnson in this game.
33:37I want to see if there's rushing attempts. So that's the rushing yards.
33:40I want to see rushing attack eight and a half.
33:43I mean, I know they're going to run in this game and I know that they are going to try and establish
33:50the Caleb Johnson, but I just don't think they're going to be able to do it against the Buccaneers.
33:55Yeah. I, Michael floor was saying yesterday, like, Hey, we need to start establishing the run, but you and I both know that ain't fucking happening this week.
34:03Uh, maybe next week we can look into it next week.
34:06Yeah. Not this week. Um, yeah, I was going to have to veto that one.
34:11There's no way I was going to be comfortable with that.
34:14Uh, if you want to take the neighbors under, I'd be fine doing that in this donkey parlay again, 54 yards for
34:20neighbors is just, yes, is that does not feel good, but just, I think there's a couple different outs, whether that's just
34:26him not being fully healthy, which he has said multiple times.
34:30And then Jim is being cooked, uh, with his arms.
34:32So yeah, well, I just, let's get a kind of walking one every single week, man.
34:37It's just every week. I mean the Kenneth Walker, he's very similar to Derek Henry.
34:41The dude just starts the game with a, with a rushing touchdown.
34:45Uh, this is actually a good question. Uh, I, I think T Ferg is going to miss this week, but I think
34:51he's going to come back next week and start firing.
34:54I mean, it's like pretty clear. He's a huge part of their game plan.
34:58The usage week one was weird, but the whole team's everything was weird week one, you know, and the, the injury dudes
35:04on Twitter keep saying that Puka has a sports hernia and that he has the, he has the ability to re injure it.
35:11So I don't know anything about that, but if that's true, you're going to feel really dumb dropping T Ferg instead of Makai Lemon.
35:18I want to bring up a, uh, a little stat on, uh, Kenneth Walker.
35:22So there's been something like ongoing coach speak about Emmett Johnson, you know, working more in, uh, into the offense, but I
35:28just wanted to make some, put some context into that.
35:31Uh, this is from my boy, Mark, they can bring over out of Stavis.
35:35We're on the chiefs backfield split through the first three games.
35:38When the chiefs aren't leading by 10 points, Kenneth Walker has 58 carries, 17 targets.
35:43Emmett Johnson has eight carries two targets. And then when the chiefs are leading by 10 points, Kenneth Walker has seven carries one target.
35:50Emmett Johnson has eight carries two targets. So in a divisional game that you may expect to be a little bit closer,
35:56uh, than a normal game would, uh, you can probably just kind of mentally know like, okay, we might see a little
36:02bit more Kenneth Walker in this game. And in games where, you know, uh, you think the chiefs are just going to
36:09roll maybe, you know, not fade him in DFS, but just keep that in mind when you're taking props and whatnot.
36:15So, um, I do believe the spread is it's under a touchdown, right?
36:18Yeah. It's only four and a half, four and a half.
36:22Yeah. So projected to be a closer game. Again, the visual games get really tough and gritty.
36:26So, uh, I do like Kenneth Walker this week.
36:29I just wanted to give some context that if you've seen any Emmett Johnson coach speak on our, on our terminal, uh,
36:35always good to have some context behind it. So.
36:38Yeah. Uh, I want to do 19.15 fantasy points for Brock Purdy.
36:41I actually think this game is going to low key be a banger.
36:45I think both of these teams are going to come out swinging haymakers.
36:49I think it's like a really interesting styles makes fight matchup between the Denver Broncos and the San Francisco 49ers.
36:55No, Mike Evans very likely in this game, but I don't care.
36:58Purdy Purdy is just him, dude. Purdy Purdy. He's like insanely disrespected, but he's so good.
37:03He is. I don't know if it's the draft capital.
37:06I don't know what it is, but the draft capital, but this dude, I mean, he's second in odds and MVP and
37:12now is a good play against this Broncos defense.
37:14If he wins this game, I would probably say put him the favorite over Josh Allen.
37:19Um, just given what, uh, he's able to do without like, just like vulturing, like 10 touchdowns at the goal line.
37:25Um, we did get a 40 yard touchdown last week, man run that got called back from like some BS holding call.
37:31Like it, this dude is playing out of his mind.
37:34He's executing the offense at like unprecedented levels. Matt for not Matt Ryan, Kyle Shanahan asked, was asked about like how he's
37:41seen Purdy's development and how he's been this year.
37:43And he was when I had Matt Ryan in 2016.
37:46Like this dude's playing unreal. I like this game a lot, uh, for DFS, for the BRs.
37:51Like there's a bunch of great scroll down options.
37:54Like Jalen Wattles is a scroll down option this week.
37:56Um, yeah, I just, I'm just glazing party, but yeah, I agree.
38:00I love this. He deserves it. He deserves it.
38:02If Brock, if we got all memory wiped about a, the draft capital is definitely part of it, but if we all
38:09got memory wiped that Jimmy Garoppolo also was top five in the NFL in EPA, when Shanahan was the quarterback, we would
38:15talk about Brock Purdy, the way people talk about Trevor Lawrence or Joe Burrow.
38:19I don't think he would be in the need.
38:22Not even close. Yeah. He wouldn't be in like the Josh Allen Mahomes Lamar conversation, but honestly he's more accomplished than Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.
38:29If you, if you really want to be a hundred about it, I mean, this guy has a MVPs.
38:35Yeah. Okay. Yes. MVP level. Okay. How about this?
38:37How about this? How many people would honestly tell you Brock Purdy is better than Justin Herbert?
38:42Very few people. Brock Purdy is 100% than you expect, but people that's just like an, I don't know, ball taken.
38:48Obviously like, uh, Purdy benefits a ton from having such a great offensive environment and having like one of the best play
38:55callers of all time, but like being able to execute it at the level he does is like the student just gets more athletic every year.
39:02He's putting more zip on the ball this year than he has in years past.
39:06That's something he said that, uh, he said this past week, that's like one of his big off season emphasis, uh, was
39:13to just like put some more zip on the ball.
39:16Um, everything about this guy's game is just like incredible 19 and 19.15 fantasy.
39:20Just like, yeah, just fucking give me the over, man.
39:22Like, I don't need to keep glazing. Like this is well-deserved.
39:26He's my, he's, he's, uh, that's, it's one of the, one of the few things I've ever changed my mind about in
39:32my life was like when the Purdy stuff first came around, I was like, nah, get this guy out of here.
39:38We gotta go. We, we need Trey Lance. And then I was like, you know what?
39:43That's really wrong. Uh, we're, we're not doing that.
39:45Uh, all right, Dave, we need, we need one more.
39:48We need one more leg here, brother. Okay. Uh, and I also just want to note on the Purdy stuff.
39:54Like if you see any Brandon Cooks overs open up Sunday morning, that is something I will happily, uh, explore, but I'll, I'll give you an option here.
40:02Do you want to go between Mekhi Lemon, Sion Bakhi or, uh, Marvin Harrison?
40:06I want to see what Lemon has available. Um, I really like higher than three and a half receptions for Lemon because
40:12he starts the game with one because they will do at least one screen to him that goes for negative three yards.
40:19So he really just needs to get three real receptions over the course of the game.
40:23I do think they're going to be trailing for most of this game.
40:27Uh, also I, I, I almost picked Rams and the points as my, as my favorite pick against the spread.
40:33I was going to advocate for longest reception. Uh, he hit that last week and just like, I'm not, I'm just concerned
40:39about like the offense environment in general, uh, for the Eagles.
40:42So like, I'm not sure if volume is the way I want to approach it.
40:46Uh, again, we don't even have to take Mekhi Lemon.
40:49I'm just throwing names out. It's just like a guy that just continuously just gets more and more and more, more praise.
40:56Vocky here. I have never, again, I've only been like following this coach speak stuff for like a couple of months now.
41:02Uh, I've never seen a player been as glazed as Vocky has between their GM, their OC, their head coach, the players like, you know, the Vocky backstory.
41:10I don't think I do. Will you inform me?
41:13So he was a safety at Utah. They had, they had, they had three running back injuries and they were like, can anyone play running back?
41:20And he's like, I can do it. And then he scored five touchdowns on 50 touches.
41:25His final season had played safety his whole life gets drafted as a running back based off of literally like 70 touches
41:31in college, not a UDFA gets drafted and then makes the team.
41:34And then now is the running back to taking David Montgomery's job.
41:38The team lets David Montgomery go. And it's just the running back to behind you, mirror Gibbs for an NFL team.
41:44He's, he's got like less than a hundred recorded touches as a running back.
41:48It's, it's a really insane story. Yeah. I want his brush and receiving yards.
41:52They're just, they cannot stop talking about this dude's pass protection skills and how amazing he's been, uh, being able to spell
41:58Gibbs, uh, how good of a job he's done on like these underneath couches.
42:02Uh, again, they're playing the Panthers. It's one of the highest scoring game or the highest totals on the slate.
42:08Uh, the Panthers rush defense is definitely not good.
42:11We know he's going to get some carries, uh, to spell off Gibbs, uh, 17 and a half seems a little bit low to me.
42:18So, uh, do you want to add like, uh, what we, I was going to say, we need, we need to do one more.
42:25Cause we have to take the Jags money line out of it or else I can't do the flex.
42:30Okay. Um, we need one more. Do you just want to, I really liked the Josh Downs call or if you want
42:37to do the toot in longest brush. Uh, I honestly say that we should fucking add both of them.
42:42Makes it both flocks. Let's just do, let's just do downs again.
42:46Okay. Downs, downs is just like that's, that's hitting.
42:48Um, there you go. 10 bucks to win, uh, a lot, like 15, like 1500.
42:52Uh, so we have Brevin span forward nine and a half receiving yards, Derek Henry, two tuds Kyron Williams, 14 and a half or more receiving yards.
43:00Malik neighbors lower than 54 and a half receiving yards.
43:03Kenneth Walker to score touchdown Brock Purdy higher 19.15 fantasy points.
43:06Sion Bakke higher than 17 that rushing plus receiving yards and downs higher than 62 and a half receiving yards.
43:12Beautiful. I love it, man. It's beautiful. Um, all right, then we are going to head on over to splash sports here
43:18in one second, but need to remind all of you guys that this show is presented to you by live line IQ.
43:25It's exactly what it sounds like. It is a sports betting application that sends a notification to your phone when the, basically
43:31there's basically when there's an arm spot available in live lines.
43:34They had another one last weekend. I think they've only sent out like five alerts on NFL all year.
43:40All five of them have hit. They're not going to be, there just are not going to be that many live spots
43:46in NFL game where the market is really off.
43:49They've had more available for college football and MLB, but the one last week was a live spot in commander Seahawks, which
43:55did indeed hit because, uh, I mean, partially because the commander's defense is so bad.
43:59Uh, but also shout out to my boy, Jadarian price.
44:02And by shout out to my boy, Jadarian price, I mean, no fucking shout out to my boy, Jadarian price.
44:08Oh dude, he's killing me. He's killing me, Dave.
44:10It's really, really bad. They had some like reassurance this week.
44:14I'm like, we're going to go back to him and like, we, we trust him, but it's so over, bro.
44:19Like sharp just practicing. He hasn't separated for shit.
44:22It's just, it's over. Yeah. Yeah. It's a sharp, sharp, like legitimately a limited practice this week.
44:27It's never been, people are saying it's never been more over.
44:30And those people are right. Uh, which is a bummer because I drafted a bunch of Jadarian price.
44:35It's going to need an injury now, um, which is a bummer.
44:39All right. So we're now going to do survivor.
44:41However, before we, Dave and I obviously, uh, our 10 entries in the, the big splash pool, we cooked them all in week two.
44:48So I, I have two entries left in the one K.
44:51Um, I think you have two entries left as well.
44:54We're going to talk about those in a second, but the first thing we got to do is we're going to talk
45:00about the touchdown survivor, which is about to fill.
45:03Um, so if you guys want in the new touchdown survivor that we're running over on splash, I would go and do it right now.
45:10But, uh, Dave, we got to make two picks in the touchdown survivor this week.
45:15Um, then after this week, it goes down to one pick.
45:18I, I think I'm legitimately taking Derek Henry on, on everyone.
45:21Yeah. Revenge game. I mean, there to be up the entire game.
45:24So, uh, it feels so predatory having Jake Ferguson up here.
45:27Like what the fuck, man? Well, it's just, it's, it's, it's, I know it's the highest.
45:32I know it's the most touchdowns, but it's just, it's just so predatory, man.
45:36He's so asked. Um, yeah, obviously the big dog seems like a borderline lock.
45:40I'd probably fade out on this, um, wait for a different matchup.
45:44Uh, my first thought when looking into this was Chuba, uh, they came out, uh, two days ago and saying like their
45:50run past balance in the end zone has been like way too heavy skewed towards the past this season.
45:55And they want to, you know, ETR a little bit more in the end zone.
46:00Uh, obviously no Jonathan Brooks this week. He's a workhorse, uh, for the Panthers and the highest total game of the week
46:06or one of the highest total games of the week.
46:09So, uh, I was going to advocate for Chuba.
46:11Um, obviously there's a lot more likely options to score this week, but I wanted to hear your thoughts on him.
46:18Um, I don't, I don't, I don't hate Chuba.
46:20Um, I will say based on, on my experience of doing this, this is it teams die even faster than a regular survivor.
46:27Okay. So you might not even need to be that aggressive.
46:30You don't, you now week three, good, good time to start doing that because so like, I'm trying to think of like the right way to explain this.
46:38So like the concept of like the chargers losing to the Raiders is like, that just happens all the time.
46:44Like Jameer Gibbs just like won't score a touchdown in like three games this year.
46:48You know, that's just the way it'll go. And those weeks, like I, I believe in the OG touchdown survivor.
46:54I think 85% of the field is already gone in week three.
46:57Okay. Like it, like the teams just get the, you just get dusted off super fast.
47:02So I'm going to do Henry and I'm going to do, you know what, since, since I'm with my boy Dave right
47:08here, I'm going to take, I'm going to take, I'm going to take Javante.
47:12I do think, uh, I do think he's a pretty good bet for a touchdown this week.
47:17And that was saying like, Hey, like once we get to the end zone, like we, like last was, this is particular
47:23to like last week against the Ravens. He's like, Hey, we were like running the ball.
47:28Well, and then like, when we got to the end zone, we just like forgot to run the ball and we need
47:34to do more of that in the future. So a little bit of a squeaking, uh, wheel narrative, uh, for Javante, uh,
47:41the total surprisingly like high, it's like 48 and a half, 47 and a half.
47:45So, um, I really liked that game for the BR streets, uh, like tagging on CJ Stroud Schultz, uh, just to get off on a tangent.
47:52But yeah, if you're, if you're doing any of those drops this week, let's do, and then let's just do one that
47:59is just as easy as it gets. Let's just do Henry Walker and then Josh Allen as the, uh, as the alt
48:05there worth, worth noting, uh, passing touchdowns, obviously do not count, but I, I just think I have, I mean, just now
48:11with all of these entries, I, my, my largest wager this week will be on Derek Henry scoring a touchdown.
48:17So if Derek Henry rolls his ankle, uh, in, in the first quarter, I mean, you're going to, you're going to find
48:24me down, uh, lots of us dollars this week, Dave.
48:26A nice, uh, a nice use Kia on the big dog to score against his former team.
48:31Uh, I saw some ridiculous that I don't know who it was from, but it's like Derek Henry splits against the AFC South versus not the AFC South.
48:39And it's just like two X is production everywhere else.
48:42And obviously that has to do with him playing an AFC South for so long.
48:47The teams were just so, so, so bad when he said there, but I like this narrative, man.
48:52Like it, it kind of reminds me of like the IQ bell curve meme where it's like, just spent the Eric Henry score.
48:58And then you got the middle guy just giving you a bunch of reasons why not to.
49:03And then, yeah, just Derek Henry, just it's a lock.
49:06It is. It is a lock. Um, trying to think anyone else like Walker, Henry Gibbs, McCaffrey.
49:11I would say if you are in the touchdown survivor this week, I wouldn't get any fancier than like my pool of
49:17guys would be like Henry cook McCaffrey Walker, probably about the fanciest I would get would be Aaron Jones.
49:23That's probably about as fancy as I would get.
49:25I wouldn't do Deandre Swift. I think you could do, but I wouldn't even do like Braylon Allen who has like a
49:32pretty good, um, projection or whatever, but like, even that is like a little fancy.
49:36Can I still sign up for this? Is this open?
49:39Yes. I mean, I think there's literally, yeah, there's like, there's like a hundred spots left.
49:43Um, I'm gonna put my money where my mouth is in, uh, here I will, uh, I will share the contest.
49:50I will put this, the link to this is in the chat and then I will put this in or I'll just text this link to you.
49:57There you go. All right. So it's in the chat if you guys want to sign up.
50:02Um, and then frankly, this one, I I'd love to say that this, that we're going to last, this will probably be done by like week nine.
50:10So we will probably run, we will probably run another one of these.
50:14Um, like we did, we did an EPL survivor and it literally finished in the fourth week for goals or just, just picks, just, just picks.
50:21But you're if a draw, a draw was no good.
50:24So they had to win. Okay. Okay. They had to win.
50:27Um, but yeah, like I, I just, I I'm very much enjoying the, uh, the survivor content.
50:32Speaking of which we got to make, uh, our, our survivor picks this week, all of our entries dusted off, but we still have some to talk about.
50:40I will say for me this week, I it's pretty easy to me.
50:44This is like one of the more straightforward weeks we've had on the season.
50:48It's, it's super straightforward, except you have to decide, can you trust the Vikings or do you just hold hands with everyone else and take the Baltimore Ravens?
50:56You know, I only have two entries left. Like we've done great on tickets on this show.
51:01We've done great on, on BR stuff, you know, survivor.
51:04We have not done so hard. So like take all this, but given that I only have two entries left, I'm going to play it relatively safe.
51:11Uh, if I'm not choosing the Vikings or the Ravens, I think I would scroll down, uh, to Seattle who, I mean,
51:18their best next matchup is week nine against Arizona, but that's a, that's a divisional game.
51:22Those gets a little dicey here and there, uh, week 10 against Vegas.
51:26And then probably the one you really want to save it for is like week 14 against the giants.
51:32So, um, yeah, between those three is probably what I'm going to narrow my pull to.
51:36Um, and then if not, uh, maybe Packers against the bucks, it doesn't feel good, but, um, yeah, I, those are my
51:43four, four main options for this week, but I'm honestly probably just going to go one of Ravens or Minnesota.
51:48So honestly, I am, I am not going to play Minnesota once, uh, in this week, because I think it is a marginal enough spot with the Vikings.
51:56I look, I just bet on the Vikings minus 10 half points.
52:00Obviously I think that I think they're just going to actually steamroll here, but it's one of the few spots.
52:06I would actually consider this, the same people who are watching our show saying, I can't believe these absolute jabronis are taking the chargers.
52:12Don't they know ball? Can't they watch the games?
52:15I would honestly consider it to be a spot like that, where if you told me the Vikings just have a total
52:21off the rails, they can't do anything on offense.
52:24Kyler's getting sacked. Aaron Jones has a bad fumble.
52:27I'd be like, yeah, you know what? Makes sense, man.
52:29Makes sense that the Minnesota Vikings, they just, it's all a mess.
52:33Like ownership is fighting with the coach and like, ah, like all this stuff.
52:37I'd be like, yeah, you know what? Makes sense.
52:40If you told me the Ravens lost to the Titans, I w I would not believe you.
52:44Even if you were from the future, I'd be like, nah, no chance, dude.
52:48No way they lose. No way they lose. I don't see a single pat Lamar would have to get injured in game.
52:55I think that's it. Yeah. Um, I agree with you.
52:58The floor on the Vikings is obviously so much lower, but you know, devil's advocate.
53:02Uh, actually, I don't know before you think the, the, the offense or the Titans are better.
53:07I think the Titans have more NFL talent on the team one through 53, but I think Malik Willis is better than cam Ward.
53:14God, man. He's, he's like one of like the least slandered first overall picks I've seen in my life.
53:19Um, yeah, I saw, I saw a really good tweet about cam Ward that like, he's, he's a good old fashioned bus,
53:26like the type of bus you don't even remember.
53:28Like when he's out of the league in five years, we won't even be like, remember when the Titans had like, remember Jake Locker?
53:35I bet you, I bet you don't because he just was so forgettable.
53:39Like that's going to be the cam Ward style bus.
53:42The Titans are picking a quarterback this year. Uh, so yeah, anyways, uh, to my point, yeah, the, the floor on the
53:48Vikings is so much lower and, uh, for my safety and just so I can have a sweat on the ongoing weeks, I'll, I'm probably just going Baltimore.
53:56Uh, I will know if they're like the best, like the most optimal matchups they have coming up.
54:01Uh, you know, they have next week against Atlanta week six against Cleveland week 11 against Carolina.
54:06So they do have a lot of good spots in the future weeks.
54:10Uh, but there are also some other teams are going to pivot to on, on, on those weeks.
54:15So if I was going to take, uh, if I was going to take a, um, ran, like if I was going
54:21to get fancy with a low on team, it would be the, uh, it would be the Colts this week.
54:27That would be, that would be my fancy play.
54:30No one's taking them right there. They're in London.
54:32It's 830. It's, uh, like I, I would say 1% is probably even high in terms of their projected ownership.
54:38Um, I don't think they have a ton of like future utility.
54:41They play in, um, like a, uh, I guess they do get to play the Titans, uh, a couple of times.
54:48So, so those are, uh, good spots for them, but the Colts are like a pretty marginal team, like probably like a nine win team.
54:55Um, they, they're not going to be favored by a ton against anyone, but this is a chance to fade Mariota at
55:01Dan Quinn and all time donkey, but by the way, like an all time, like he does not maximize, uh, win shares really at all.
55:08And the commanders are coming off a huge win where they just stole everyone's money against the Seahawks last week.
55:14So that's going to be playing into people's memories as well.
55:17But yeah, Colts Colts, I think would be my fancy play.
55:20I will know. I like your Seahawks angle though.
55:23Yeah. I will note that the Colts do have a nice week 10 matchup.
55:27They get a Miami at home, uh, seven point favorites.
55:30Um, but there's also plenty of good options in week 10.
55:33You have the Rams that are 11 point favorites.
55:36You have the bills. There are seven point favorites against the jets chiefs five points against, against the Falcon.
55:41So, uh, if you do decide to use the Colts, uh, I would imagine they're pretty chalky week 10.
55:46Uh, you do have some other options. Yeah. I mean, honestly, I would say my review of taking survivor pretty seriously this
55:53year and getting kicked in the teeth in week two and, and frankly, just survivor content as a whole, like becoming its own thing.
56:00Hmm. My biggest, biggest takeaway is that unique paths and fading the chalk and X, Y, and Z early in the season,
56:06you are kind of just fucking yourself. And I think we've already seen it with the quarterback injuries.
56:11I think the quarterback injuries are the big understated thing with all of this, which is, Hey man, guess what?
56:17If Joe Burrow gets hurt, gets hurt, all of your Bengals future value, Jared Goff gets hurt.
56:22Your lions future value is, is new. Jordan love gets hurt.
56:25And, and we also know, I mean, 64 quarterbacks started a game last year, like quarterback injuries happen way more often than you would think.
56:32And they're not always season ending, but like what happens if, okay, I'm saving the bears, uh, the bears get, I don't know the bears play the dolphins.
56:40I don't even know if they do, but just imagine, but, Oh, uh, well they're starting case Keenum and they're actually only
56:47favored by two and a half at Miami. And it's like, okay, well am I taking the case Keenum bears favored by two and a half at Miami?
56:55My whole season was planned around that. So that is, I think one of just the interesting things like, and obviously part
57:01of that is a little bit hindsight because we got burnt when we could have just taken the 49ers.
57:06Um, but I, I do live and you learn.
57:09I do think the, uh, the, the LOL, no way they lose bros.
57:13I would say right now, I would say those bros are winning right now.
57:17I would say they're winning right now. There's some of that that you have to, you know, kind of play for in survivor.
57:23It's just like, again, it's just like the IQ bell curve meme.
57:27Um, a little side note, I will, I just saw this pop up on the Mike nuggets injury feed.
57:32Uh, Keenan Allen, uh, has a groin issue is questionable for Sunday.
57:36So a little bit more equity on that. Josh downs over, uh, that we took earlier.
57:40There you go. That's beautiful. Um, all right, man.
57:43Do you have any, do you have any final thoughts on, uh, on survivor?
57:47No, I think, uh, like I said earlier, it was a little, a little bit more straightforward week, uh, than weeks past.
57:53Uh, thankfully we don't have to gallobrine ourselves into, into the chargers.
57:57So. All right. Well, let's finish it with this right here.
58:00I mean, the legend himself, let's rip a BR and then we will, uh, we will, we will ship our way out of here.
58:07We are drafting fourth. I've literally only drafted three of these.
58:10Okay. Um, can you just scroll down to the board?
58:13I want to see how much the ADP has changed since, um, since I stopped on Wednesday.
58:18Yes. Yes, I can. Uh, it looks like the turn is Alan Bowers.
58:22I would have, I would have, Oh yeah. I mean a lot of puka this week.
58:26I would have like no Josh Allen at this price.
58:29Honestly, I'll probably have legit zero, um, scroll running backs.
58:32I mean, really good. Javon say looks really good.
58:34Braylon Allen looks phenomenal. Bucky man. 35. That's, that's my, might be my Michael Wilson play for, for this week.
58:40We'll see. Um, wow. Okay. So like when I was doing this contest earlier in the week, we, I was getting puka
58:47and the twenties chase Brown in the late twenties.
58:49Um, this ADP has shifted quite a bit. Uh, obviously puka with the injury news, but I'm shocked to see chase Brown
58:55has gone up like, you know, a whole round.
58:58Uh, I imagine that's the, the fault of my, of my colleagues, but yeah, that's, that's all.
59:03That's definitely awesome. Shout out to us. The run.com.
59:06Yeah. Um, but yeah, to me, this week's a little bit more fun than last week.
59:10I felt last week, if I didn't get one of Gibbs, Henry Walker or CMC, I was kind of like drawing dead.
59:16So I felt, um, obviously Jason almost ended up getting there at the end.
59:20Uh, but the tier of running backs last week felt so strong this week.
59:25Uh, you got a lot more options in round one to me.
59:28So, um, we'll see what, what be more Ravens does.
59:31I imagine he goes to a cent. Yeah. Figured.
59:33I will say, we'll say CMC. If, uh, he's there at five, I really just like, we both love the game.
59:39Oh, come on, dude. Got it. Got to do Henry over CMC.
59:43Oh, okay. Okay. I was, I was just assuming that Henry would go, would go three.
59:48Okay. That's, that's an easy, nice little fall for us with one pick of, of ADP value.
59:52Um, yeah, I mean, I was just, I was saying that, assuming that Henry was like a lock to go three.
59:58Thank you. Thank you. What do you, what do you think about, uh, what do you think about Bowers with the seven
60:05overall ADP that to me doesn't feel great actually.
60:07Um, I just like the scroll down options at running back and wide receiver this week.
60:12So just like from a structure standpoint, I like going one of the elite tight ends, uh, whether that's Bowers McBride or
60:18Kittle, like last week I had like about 70% of my exposure on, on Kittle or McBride.
60:23It will probably be something very similar this week, just because I don't love the scroll down options at tight end.
60:29And I really liked the, the options at, uh, uh, at flex.
60:33So, uh, I'm good with either Puka or, or McBride here, whatever you like.
60:37I like Puka because I bet that his ADP, like if, uh, McVay comes out today and says, Oh dude, he's good to go.
60:44I mean, he looks, dude, we just had, we just had a pushup contest, man.
60:48Like Puka, he's good to go. Like I, I think he's going to end up higher.
60:53I actually don't hate the scrolls at tight end.
60:55I don't hate Brenton. I like Schultz and strange a lot.
60:58Just given like the game environments, I like Hunter Henry, but, uh, I just like the, especially like the matchups, like I,
61:05like at least the giants for McBride being a favorite.
61:07And then I know Bowers is, you know, I believe in Spags being able to like scheme him up and, and whatnot.
61:14But I mean, he's just like straight up a wide receiver one out there.
61:18So I don't ever want to fade him like based off of a matchup concern.
61:22Um, again, I probably have my portfolio will have like one of these elite tight ends.
61:27And then the other half, I will have like guys like Schultz and strange and Hunter Henry and guys like that at the end.
61:34So, um, James Cook falling quite a bit. That's, that's a nice GM, GM, a true, a true two percenter, Tyler Higby.
61:40That's a good one as well. Yeah. Uh, I might have to tout a little bit of Higby there in the last round.
61:47I really don't mind it. Um, we got your boy Jeremiah love there.
61:50We got, uh, Chase Brown. Honestly, I would take, I would take P wash here.
61:55Yeah. Let's go P wash. Like again, the Jacks have not been pushed in like in a serious manner at all the season.
62:01If there's a scenario where they have to drop back, like, I don't know, 40 times, it's going to be quite the fantasy game for P wash.
62:09Uh, I imagine DJ Turner is going to be following BTJ whenever he's on the field.
62:14And won't be on the, uh, moving into the slot much.
62:17So yeah. Uh, P wash is a smash this week.
62:20I obviously like him a ton. P wash has the, the usage of like a, like a wide receiver one, like his,
62:26like his, like a dot, uh, target share, all that stuff is like, it's like the same as like Justin Jefferson, you know?
62:33I mean, it's actually, it's actually kind of wild.
62:35Um, how do you feel about like, would you do Lawrence or Stafford here, or what are we doing?
62:41A naked quarterback. Yeah, we can, we can pull, let's grab T law.
62:44I think he's like one of our, like their first or second projected, uh, QB on the slate this week.
62:50Uh, not first. Definitely. I take my boy love.
62:53Yeah. I just give him the, the fallen Valley.
62:55Let's take love. And then we can kind of pencil in, uh, T law on the back end.
63:01And if you want to get like really cute and do like, you know, T law throws for four touchdowns and two
63:07of them go to strange and two of them go to Washington.
63:10We can stack that up. Uh, is sexy. We can get in there late.
63:14If you want to scroll down on tight end, we don't have to, you know, force the game environment stuff, but just, just throwing out options.
63:22Yeah. Yeah. A hundred percent. Um, I mean, dude, I think maybe I don't even have to draft that many.
63:28Maybe I don't even have to max. If like, we just draft the shipper first time.
63:32I mean, Eric Henry, who can a cool P wash?
63:35Jeremiah. Love those are like all my favorite plays.
63:38Just knocking them out. One, two, three. I will say I have a team with CMC, Henry and Puka.
63:43Uh, so that's, that's pretty naughty. I'm excited to see how that one does come.
63:47That's the, that's the, you know, you do give up some equity drafting on Monday and Tuesday.
63:52Cause you just don't know about some of that stuff, but you are also able to get, um, some CLV on.
63:58And again, the CLV, the CLV doesn't really matter for the six man contest.
64:02Like it's so many ways, but in the scenario where like both CMC and Henry, uh, which already is like a GM
64:09GM, uh, or like battling each other for RB one.
64:12And then Puka just drops like a nuke. Uh, I would imagine it's pretty hard to get all three of those.
64:18Now, uh, given the environment. So, um, yeah, I think this next pick, we can go T law and then we can
64:24do our scroll down option, uh, at tight end, whether that's Schultz or Higby or, or strange.
64:29Again, we're constructing like a well correlated, well projection team in the first couple of rounds.
64:33And then this last round, uh, we're just going to scroll down a bit.
64:37So obviously you don't want to give up like eight points of projection when you're scrolling down, but you know, the trade-off
64:44between like Travis Kelsey and Schultz might only be like one, two, three points.
64:48I think it's, it's, I think it's literally like a point and a half.
64:52Yeah. Yeah. So it's really not that big of a deal.
64:55So again, I know like you, uh, if you're not usually in the BR streets, you kind of just want to be anchored to ADP.

65:09Just scrolling down and ignoring the projections. Um, just don't get too crazy.
65:13So, uh, yeah, Schultz Higby or strange will be my option.
65:16Whatever you prefer. Uh, I probably just need Schultz cause you really have to hit like a, like a 99th percentile outcome

65:30Um, but yeah, Schultz or stranger are my options here.
