0:00The best time of the week is back. Week 2 Cashing Points, we are back.
0:0513 game slate, we got a full slate here for everybody.
0:08I'm going to be breaking down each game, all the best plays, stacks, everything you need to know to dominate your Week 2 DFS lineups.
0:16Of course, I am joined by Jake Tribby and Ryan Heath, two of our sharpest analysts here at Fantasy Points.
0:22To break down the entire slate, I'm Graham. We are so excited that football is back and we actually have real data, actual usage.
0:29We're not flying by the seat of our pants like we are sometimes into Week 1.
0:34It feels good, man. It feels good to have football back.
0:37Let's get started here, guys. We got a big show, like I just said.
0:4213 game slate, really, really fun one. Loaded quarterback slate.
0:45Really like this quarterback slate. We'll get started with the Panthers and the Falcons.
0:49Panthers are 2.5 point favorites. This total is 43.5.
0:52The only real injury note I have in this game here, guys, is that Jalen Coker is fine.
0:57He's off the injury report. I saw a tweet from one of the Panthers beat reporters earlier in the week that said
1:04Coker is in a walking boot, but he is, like I said, he's completely fine.
1:08One of the better value plays on this slate, Jake.
1:11The Panthers are interesting because you and I have been talking about this quite a bit.
1:16Like Bryce Young is just like so yin and yang.
1:19He's got some big spiked weeks in his game logs.
1:22Last week was one of them, but it was a game where obviously the Panthers were chasing quite a bit.
1:29Just a ton of plays, ton of volume, obviously a ton of scoring in that game.
1:33This is just a totally different scoring environment. The total, like I said, 43.5.
1:38It'll be Cooper Rush under center again for the Falcons.
1:41And I guess my concern here, Jake, for this game environment is just that Cooper Rush is the worst quarterback in football.
1:47He's worse than Deshaun Watson. He's worse than Cam Ward.
1:51And the Falcons just run 45 plays and don't really push the Panthers in this spot.
1:55But man, it's a pretty nice little outlook for Carolina.
1:58Where are you at on the team and the best plays on Carolina?
2:02Yeah, this is a pretty interesting spot for Carolina.
2:05You know, I wouldn't want to blame you if you did want to play Bryce Young and GPPs.
2:11I mean, he scored at least 26 DK points in five of his last 20 regular season games.
2:16And as you mentioned, Graham, you know, Jalen Coker, the best value among Carolina pass catchers.
2:21He's actually outscored Tett McMillan over their last 10 games together.
2:24Pretty good schematic matchup as well. Sees a 70% boost to his yards per outrun against single high, which Atlanta's run at
2:31a top three rate dating back to last year.
2:34I am pretty concerned about the game environment. And, you know, Graham, you already noted this is a loaded quarterback slate.
2:40So I'm not particularly eager to play Bryce Young.
2:43But I do think a guy who you can make a pretty compelling argument for, and I know you did, Graham, in
2:50slate breakdown, Chuba Hubbard, who played 69% of the snaps.
2:53And his workload was worth 17.6 expected fantasy points.
2:56That's pretty great usage for a guy who's 5,800, particularly with the Carolina Panthers favored in this game.
3:01I really like Hubbard plus the Panthers defense. And, you know, another nice angle here with Hubbard is that, you know, if
3:08Atlanta surprises or if Carolina comes out, comes out a little flat, he's still going to play on passing downs.
3:14He ran five times more routes than Jonathan Brooks out routed him 25 to five, a bit better of a play on fan duel is Hubbard.
3:22But, you know, still a very solid spot to play.
3:25I'm sort of across the board in DFS this week.
3:28Yeah, I like it quite a bit. I like it with Panthers defense.
3:32Very cheap on draft Kings. I'll be honest, I always have a blind spot to Chuba Hubbard.
3:37I've just always thought he's kind of mids. But, man, the Panthers love him.
3:41And I just keep going back to, you know, last year when Rico Dowdle was just running super hot.
3:47Chuba Hubbard got hurt, came back, and then, you know, Dave Kanals just gave him the starting job once again.
3:53And it seems similar to this year. We'll see if Jonathan Brooks was just getting ramped up.
3:58You know, quite possible that, you know, he was just playing in his first game.
4:03But that was the biggest surprise to me, Jake, as well, is just, you know, Hubbard basically played all the passing down snaps.
4:10That's kind of what I was figuring this year, that Brooks would cut into Hubbard quite a bit on passing down snaps.
4:17And I'm looking very wrong. Speaking of not being very wrong, Ryan, you were all over Jalen Coker last week, man.
4:23He was one of the best plays on draft Kings last week.
4:27Coker's in a great spot, like Jake was just saying.
4:30He's still way too cheap. Until he and Tett McMillan get closer in price, we're just going to keep writing Coker up as one of the better values.
4:38Let's throw it over to you for the Falcons, Ryan.
4:41Bijan Robinson is 8,200. He just had basically a wide receiver workload last week.
4:46Just got a ridiculous target share. I said it off the top.
4:49I mean, Cooper Rush is just, he's really terrible.
4:52He can't push the ball down the field. And I think this is just a similar spot where if Atlanta wants to
4:59try and win the game, they're going to load up Bijan with as much work as he can take.
5:05Yeah, Graham, it was a 41% target share for Bijan Robinson last week.
5:09That is the highest single game mark of any running back in fantasy points data history dating back to 2021.
5:15That's just absurd. And he very rightfully projects extremely well.
5:18He projects to be one of the highest owned players on the slate.
5:22And that's just honestly fair enough. The Panthers are the easiest rushing matchup for opposing running backs dating back to the start of last season.
5:29I understand why everyone wants to play him. I understand why he projects well.
5:34I do think he's a good play. But if we want to poke holes in it, just because that's kind of what
5:40you try to do for the chalkiest running back on the slate.
5:44The whole I would poke is his projection and his expectation is probably very loaded by that target share that he just saw.
5:51Against the Panthers, who have had the same defensive coordinator over this entire span dating back to 2023.
5:57So six games. He's never gone over six targets against the Panthers.
6:00Only gone over a 15% target share once. So that would be much, much lower if the Panthers did want to try
6:07to take the kind of route of just limiting him as much as possible.
6:11Of course, he still went over 25 DK in half of those games.
6:15He can easily get it done on the ground like this isn't to say that he's a bad player or anything.
6:22But if you were trying to talk yourself out of it or going underweight in tournaments, I think that's probably the angle that I would take.
6:30I don't need know that you need to get leverage off of him just because there are so many good wide receiver
6:36plays that are about 6K this week. But Drake London would kind of work in that sense.
6:41He has a strong schematic coverage shell matchup against a cover three heavy Panthers.
6:46And we did see Drake London average over 22 DraftKings fantasy points per game with Michael Penix.
6:51Clearly, Cooper Rush is a big downgrade, but I don't think it's totally impossible that we see the volume shift back to a Drake London.
6:59And ultimately, I think it's probably just Bijan or nothing if you're playing the Falcons.
7:03But just thought that was kind of worth mentioning.
7:06Yeah, I wrote up a Drake London blurb for slate breakdown, but I pulled it once we knew it would be Cooper Rush.
7:13I mean, the Falcons, it was a pathetic offense last week.
7:16They had a negative 19% pass rate under expectation.
7:19By far the most run heavy team in football last week.
7:22That's probably going to come up some Panthers are, you know, they got absolutely smoked last week.
7:28London is awesome, but I'm kind of with you.
7:30I don't know if I can necessarily get there.
7:33Bijan, though, is is definitely an awesome play just because he is incredible.
7:37Let's move on to a better game here, guys.
7:40Saints and the Ravens. Ravens are eight and a half point favorites.
7:43The total is forty seven and a half. Some big injury news on the Ravens side.
7:48Zay Flowers is doubtful. He had a recurrence of his hamstring injury in the middle of the game last week.
7:54He would have gone absolutely nuclear, could have pushed for 200 yards in that game.
7:59Looked incredible, but unfortunately he is going to miss this game as will Jacoby Lane, the rookie receiver.
8:05He is out with a wrist injury. He is on IR.
8:08This is just a very, very skinny Ravens pass catching group going into this week.
8:12On the Saints side, it looks like Alvin Kamara should play.
8:16He got back to full practice last Friday and he's been off the injury report all week.
8:21Just another player to kind of cuck Travis Etienne.
8:24Jake, obviously we're talking DFS, but I fully faded Travis Etienne this year.
8:28I'm going to keep fully fading Travis Etienne at DFS, just not even considering him.
8:32However, Tyler Shook in this passing game is awesome.
8:35The big note is Chris Olave. We'll see what's going on.
8:38Nick Underhill, Saints beat reporter, who's awesome, was saying, hey, basically this hamstring injury is no big deal.
8:44But anytime Olave picks up a small injury, it is kind of a big deal just given his history.
8:50He obviously missed a little bit of time in the first game with some minor injuries as well.
8:55But the main thing, though, is Tyler Shook is too cheap.
8:59And if Olave does happen to miss, Devon Vele and Juwan Johnson will pop as probably some of the better value plays,
9:05maybe the top three value plays at their positions, Jake.
9:08Yeah, absolutely. I mean, Shook led all quarterbacks in expected fantasy points last week.
9:13By the way, we have expected fantasy points for quarterbacks in Data Suite 2.0.
9:17It's awesome. Definitely check that out. Threw for 410 yards, three touchdowns on 63 dropbacks.
9:21And I feel like it's easy to look at those numbers and say, that's ridiculous.
9:26That won't repeat this week. And it won't. But it's also nothing new for head coach Kellen Moore, who's ranked top four
9:33in plays per game nearly every season. He's called plays.
9:36Plus, you know, Saints are eight point dogs here.
9:39They're expected to trail again in week two. And the nice thing about stacking Shook is we know exactly where the volume is going.
9:46Chris Olave averages 21 DraftKings fantasy points per game in Shook starts.
9:50Devon Vele had a monster game last week, and he also sees a 27% boost to his targets per outrun against two
9:56high shells, which Ravens head coach Jesse Minter runs at a top five rate.
10:01And then, you know, Jawan Johnson at just 3,900 feels like every week last year we were noting Jawan Johnson as a value.
10:08And this year doesn't appear to be any different.
10:10Finish the week with the fourth most expected fantasy points of any tight end.
10:15And despite that, he's prices the tight end 12 this week.
10:18He's a top 10 value in our projection. So a lot of different ways you can play the Saints side of this game.
10:25Ravens side is also pretty interesting, but I will let Ryan take that.
10:29Yeah. The first thing I want to talk about with the Ravens before we get into the passing game is just Derek Henry.
10:36I think he's one of the best running back plays on the slate.
10:40He's 7,200 showing around 20% ownership for us right now.
10:43Well behind John Robinson. I think he's a straight up better play than Bijan.
10:47This guy averages 23.4 DraftKings fantasy points per game in wins since joining the Ravens.
10:52Of course, they are big favorites in this game.
10:55Had a really nice workload last week. Exactly what we were kind of hoping for coming into the season.
11:0019 expected fantasy points. Henry, of course, one of the biggest over-performers of his expected fantasy points.
11:06Season after season, as long as the XFP model at fantasy points has existed.
11:10So I feel very good about his odds of doing it once again and completely smashing.
11:15So yeah, Derek Henry, obvious, very good play. I think what's a little less obvious is kind of how to play the
11:21Ravens passing game with Zay Flowers listed as doubtful, unlikely to play.
11:25Mark Andrews, I think, is probably going to get the biggest projection boost around the industry.
11:30He could end up being one of the more popular tight ends.
11:34But I do think that's correct. He has a really strong schematic matchup against the Saints.
11:39They play a ton of single high. Andrews about 150% more efficient by yards per hour run when facing single high dating back to the start of 2025.
11:47And you get really good red zone and touchdown equity with Mark Andrews.
11:51He, since the start of last season, doubled the end zone targets of any other player on the Ravens.
11:57In addition to Flowers going down, they also just lost Jacoby Lane to IR.
12:01He was the only other Raven to be targeted in the end zone last week.
12:06So you just get a nice touchdown equity angle with Andrews.
12:09He had a 33% target share after Flowers left last week's game.
12:1370% route share was higher than in all but two games last year.
12:17So perhaps he's healthier than we've seen him over the past couple of years here at the beginning of this season.
12:23So I really do think Andrews at 4,400 is a pretty good option.
12:27Rashad Bateman is the same price as him. I'm kind of interested to see where projections come in on him around the industry.
12:34I think I'm probably going to prefer Andrews if I'm picking one of those two pieces in this game.
12:40But maybe the bigger point to me just for GPPs is I think Lamar Jackson is an excellent, excellent tournament play.
12:46He's expensive, of course, the most expensive QB on the slate.
12:50But I think it's gone a little under discussed.
12:52Just how big of a deal it is that he looks healthy now.
12:56He just hit 40 rushing yards for the second time since injuring his hamstring in week four of last year.
13:03And the last time he was fully healthy, he had an MVP level season in 2024.
13:07He's at 26.7 DraftKings fantasy points per game in healthy games since the start of 2024.
13:12Has gone over 29, like 38% of the time.
13:15I think he's a really, really strong tournament play.
13:18I would be thinking about like a, not literally, but playing lineups either through Henry or through Lamar, I think is kind
13:24of always going to be a check I'm having for myself as I build this week.
13:29Yeah, Jake noted at the top of the show, this is a great quarterback slate, especially in kind of like the value range.
13:36I think that's going to kind of push the ownership down on Lamar.
13:40And I agree with you. I wrote him up for slate breakdown, basically saying the same thing.
13:46Like there's a chance here the Ravens just lean on Lamar, lean on Derrick Henry quite a bit, maybe go a little
13:52more run heavy in this spot since the receiver room is in a terrible spot.
13:57Now that they're missing flowers, missing lane, they're going to have to rely on Rashad freaking Bateman as their number one wide receiver.
14:04Just to follow up on Derrick Henry, I'm with you.
14:07I think I prefer him to Bijan as well.
14:10I was thinking about this earlier. I think I might just rank him as the best running back play on the slate for slate breakdown.
14:17The Saints were obviously just, you know, destroyed on the ground last week, gave up 5.3 yards per carry.
14:23And the third most rushing yards over expectation per carry, according to Fantasy Points data.
14:28He's just an awesome play. So Ryan, we're lockstep on the Ravens there.
14:32This is a pretty fun game here, guys. You know, Lamar and the Ravens, really good implied team total.
14:37And obviously the Saints can push with anybody, especially since they are so fast and so fast paced.
14:43Another great game, Vikings and the Bears. The Bears are five and a half point favorites.
14:48This total is 48 and a half. We're going to get Carson Wentz under center for the Vikings.
14:53Tyler Murray has been ruled out. On the Bears side, only real injury note I have is that Romo Dunze is not on the injury report right now.
15:02He came into week one with a calf injury.
15:05It seems like he's going to play a lot more.
15:08Last week, obviously, Chicago got out to the big lead.
15:11They kind of just rested Odunze. He ran just a 55% route share.
15:15This is a player who was pushing 80% well into early last year.
15:1980% route participation rate. So we're fully expecting Odunze to be back close to a full-time role.
15:24I know our guy Chris Wecht is projecting a career high in routes for Luther Burden.
15:29Really fun game, Jake. I'll throw it over to you for your thoughts on the Vikings.
15:34Yeah. I mean, Carson Wentz just 4,600. And if you exclude the three games last year where he was playing through a
15:40torn labrum, he scored 23, 15, and 19 fantasy points in his fully healthy games under Kevin O'Connell.
15:46We've seen every quarterback except J.J. McCarthy have fantasy success under Kevin O'Connell.
15:50And at 4,600, Wentz is just way too cheap.
15:53I also think the stack is pretty straightforward here.
15:55Justin Jefferson at 7,800 averages 19.5 DraftKings fantasy points per game in his games with Wentz across his career.
16:01And then another guy who's pretty interesting to me.
16:04I want to start every stack with Jefferson. I think you can work in Jordan Addison.
16:09But T.J. Hawkinson also stands out a bit. He averages 10.4 fantasy points per game and 11.3 expected fantasy points per game in his games with Carson Wentz.
16:17Those are both top 10 numbers among tight ends dating back to 2024.
16:21Hawkinson, to me, though, is kind of more of a middling play in a vacuum.
16:26I think when you add him to the double stack, though, that's where I get a little bit more excited about him.
16:33And then, of course, the other big value on the Vikings side is Aaron Jones.
16:37Jordan Mason is on IR. And Aaron Jones had a 63% snap share, 25% target share.
16:42And 17.6 expected fantasy points in his lone game last season that Jordan Mason missed.
16:47Aaron Jones is in elite value this week. Top three, top four at the running back position.
16:52Definitely in cash consideration. So a lot of solid values here on the Vikings side.
16:56I'm also really excited about the Bears side, particularly Caleb Williams.
17:00But Ryan, I'm curious what you think there. Yeah, I'm very excited about Caleb as well.
17:05I think the before I say all the amazing things and feelings I have about Caleb Williams, I guess I would just
17:11say that maybe the only reason that he's not my favorite quarterback play on the slate or what like one of my
17:18favorite contrarian tournament plays on the slate is because like maybe you just pay up 500 more to Lamar Jackson.
17:24That's like maybe the best argument I can come up with against it.
17:28But yeah, he looks pretty awesome. I just had a career high 10 rush attempts last week.
17:33This game has the second highest over under on the slate.
17:37And Caleb Williams in games with a 48 point or better over under over his career averages 25.7 DraftKings fantasy points per game.
17:44That's second most of any quarterback in the NFL over that span behind only Josh Allen, who's not on this slate hit
17:5026 or more DK and three of the five.
17:53I think this has the potential to be another or really a second consecutive Caleb Williams blow up week.
17:59Also, the rushing angle is really strong for him because the Vikings blitz so much.
18:04They blitzed 74 percent of the time against the Packers last year.
18:07They lead the NFL in blitz rate over the last season plus one game.
18:11And we see Williams scramble rate go all the way up to second highest in the NFL when he's blitzed.
18:18It is like a pretty big difference in scramble rate for Williams.
18:21So that's just like a really strong play to me.
18:24I think you'd want to at least single stack him.
18:27And of course, that's kind of where the difficulty comes in is deciding which Bears pass catchers to pair him with Graham
18:34had a good note on Roma Dunze at the top that, yeah, we should expect him to play more this week, I would say.
18:41But I think I'm still more interested in either Luther Burden or Colson Loveland Burden.
18:46While it was disappointing that Califf Raymond was as involved as he was in week one, it was still a career high 68 percent route share for Burden.
18:55And that was really the concern on Burden heading into the season is, hey, is his role actually going to scale up?
19:01That's what we saw last week. And for a player that is this efficient, he leads the Bears in yards per out
19:08run against the blitz at like three point eight.
19:11I think that's pretty interesting. He's at fifty seven hundred priced a bit below some of the stronger point per dollar receiver
19:17plays on the slate and Colson Loveland still at just five K in a game or after a game where he ran
19:24over an 80 percent route share is just really, really enticing to me.
19:28Since the Bears by last year, Loveland averages two point two five yards per out run, which was more than Brock Bowers
19:35as a rookie, more than Trey McBride over the same span.
19:38He's a really efficient, really talented player. Just one game of having a dud is not going to scare me off him
19:45when he's on the field as much as possible.
19:48The role was very, very much there. So I think he's probably my favorite stack with Caleb this week.
19:53So that's mostly how I want to play the Bears.
19:56I do think DeAndre Swift at sixty three hundred projecting for single digit ownership after the game he just had is pretty compelling.
20:04Over 20 expected fantasy points, top five among all running backs last week.
20:07The matchup is arguably arguably kind of difficult, at least based on how the Packers running backs looked last week.
20:14But I don't hate that at all for Swift, where the Bears could just have this dominant run game this year where they're rolling over every single team.
20:22Swift averages nearly 18 DraftKings fantasy points per game in wins since the start of last year, which would rank top five
20:29among all running backs on the slate. So I think you can play it through there as well.
20:34There are a couple other fun contrarian running backs in his price range, but he's in consideration for me.
20:40Yeah, I agree. He's definitely in consideration. Javante Williams is going to draw considerable ownership at sixty four hundred.
20:46That's the exact way I wrote it up. Ryan is just like, hey, this Bears offensive line was like top seven last
20:53week, opened up nearly three yards before contact for Swift.
20:56It is a tough on paper matchup, but I kind of just want to lean into the Chicago Bears run game.
21:02I mean, since like basically the middle of last season, Ben Johnson has just been in his bag with the run game.
21:09So I'm with you. I think Swift and this entire Bears offense is very, very interesting, especially looking across ownership projections across the industry.
21:16I mean, Williams is projecting for four percent Swift, seven, eight percent.
21:20All the pass catchers are right around six to seven percent as well.
21:24I want to be in on the Bears this week for sure, leaning heavily into this awesome offense.
21:29This game coming up here has a chance to kind of flop, in my opinion.
21:34Bengals and the Texans, the Texans are two and a half point favorites.
21:38This total is forty six and a half. I believe it's come down just a little bit since I pulled the numbers earlier yesterday.
21:45Obviously, the big note is Nico Collins. He's going to miss this game with a hamstring injury.
21:50It's going to leave the Texans with Kayshaun Booty as their top wide receiver, along with Xavier Hutchinson.
21:56Dalton Schultz will probably get an elevated role. Jake, you're, you know, you're the Bengals guy from Cincinnati.
22:01It feels like a tricky spot. Like I've gone back and forth.
22:05Like Joe Burrow is probably going to be two or three percent owned, maybe maybe a little bit more in some single entry stuff.
22:12Jamar Chase is going to be like a quarter of the ownership he was pushing for in most contests last week.
22:19The Texans did get flamed. Like, you know, Josh Allen is obviously running super hot to start the year, but they got absolutely smoked last week by Allen.
22:27They gave up a ton of fantasy points to the, you know, the Bills perimeter receivers.
22:32So yeah, on paper, obviously the Texans have the best defense in football still, in my opinion, the secondary is going to get going.
22:40But I mean, Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase at low ownership always is enticing.
22:44And Chase Brown, man, I think he's one of my favorite plays on the slate.
22:48What do you think of the Bengals in this spot against Houston?
22:52Yeah, I do think this is a really interesting spot.
22:55You know, Joe Burrow, as you noted, tough matchup.
22:58He's not really anywhere close to projecting as a value in our numbers and he's not fully healthy.
23:03You know, he did say he'll play in this game, but he got the Q tag after that, that tough hit on
23:10the, on the scramble that he took last week.
23:13But then you see the ownership, you know, should Joe Burrow ever be two or three percent owned?
23:18I, I don't, I don't necessarily think so. I mean, I'm not going to get there in single entry, probably not going
23:25to get there in three max, but I think, you know, for people MMEing, not that hard to get overweight Burrow if he's two or three percent owned.
23:34And I think another note on Burrow that makes me a little tempted here.
23:38I mean, far from my favorite quarterback player, far from my favorite stack, but certainly interesting.
23:43Jamar Chase is relatively cheap. T Higgins is relatively cheap and Houston led the NFL in single high usage in week one.
23:49And we know Jamar Chase absolutely shreds single high coverages.
23:52So I do want a little bit of exposure to this stack.
23:56It always feels like Burrow goes off when no one is on him.
24:00And this would certainly be a week where no one's going to be on Joe Burrow.
24:05And yeah, I'm with you, Graham. I think Chase Brown also really interesting.
24:09The price is great at sixty nine hundred. He was the RB for last week based on expected fantasy points.
24:15So, yeah, more than fine with Chase Brown. Overall, he would be my my favorite play on the Bengals side.
24:21But, you know, I don't want to go into the slate with no Burrow, no Jamar Chase exposure.
24:27Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking as well. Definitely want a little bit of the Bengals.
24:32And again, I'm just with you. I mean, in terms of technical values based on volume, Chase Brown is probably one of the better ones.
24:39He might he might be slightly worse than Ashton Jintz.
24:42He will get there in a little bit, though.
24:45Ryan, I'll throw it over to you for your thoughts on the Texans.
24:49There's a chance that this offense just like completely sputters out without their top receiver.
24:54Collins is is obviously, you know, kind of the engine for this passing game.
24:58David Montgomery was freaking awesome. He was a fantasy points favorite.
25:01Pretty much all of us here at fantasy points were on him last this summer.
25:06He scores three touchdowns, got 23 touches in week one.
25:09There's really like no holes to poke in Montgomery.
25:12And it doesn't seem like a whole lot of people are going to play him.
25:16What do you think of the Texans this week, Ryan?
25:19Yeah, Texans are interesting. I think you had a really good note in our projections chat earlier today, just pointing out that
25:26the Texans have gone a lot run heavier, especially in games without Nico Collins.
25:30In those two games last year, they were a negative 2.4 percent pass rate over expectation where they were positive with Nico in the lineup.
25:38So I do think it makes a little bit of sense to lean into David Montgomery here as a contrarian option.
25:44Of course, he got every single backfield touch inside the red zone last week, led the backfield in route share, ran more routes than Woody Marks did.
25:52So, yeah, while the snap share was kind of closer and people were worried about Woody Marks heading into the end of
25:59the summer, I do think ultimately Monty is just going to continue consolidating all the high value touches.
26:05So that's pretty compelling to me. I think he's a decent contrarian play.
26:09The easiest argument against him is how much you think the Texans offense is going to function without Nico Collins.
26:15I admit I'm somewhat worried about that, but I mean, the total hasn't come down that far.
26:20Like they're still favorites like this is a pretty solid play to me.
26:24We should also talk about Dalton Schultz because he is going to be one of the most popular tight ends on the slate.
26:31Very likely. I get it in that the Bengals have been one of the worst defenses against tight ends over the last like 10 seasons.
26:39Three more DraftKings fantasy points per game allowed to them than any other defense since the start of last year.
26:45It's a perfect spot, perfect matchup for Dalton Schultz to like just consolidate the volume, put up a really nice score.
26:51He's only 3,200, which feels way too cheap and is way too cheap.
26:55But I'm like a little tempted to argue against it.
26:58I think I clearly if I'm picking between like the two chalkier tight ends, I think I clearly prefer Andrews, mostly because
27:05Dalton Schultz has never shown that much upside. Jake had a nice stat earlier this week pointing out that in games without
27:12Nico Collins since 2023, Schultz has never scored more than 11.3 DraftKings fantasy points.
27:16Over the last three seasons in total, just among all games, he's only hit 15 DK points five times, which, yeah, I don't know.
27:23I think the projection, the point per dollar and everything is really strong.
27:27I'm not like arguing against that, but I do think it's like a pretty easy case to fade him in tournaments just
27:34because of the upside and the fragility that I'm talking about here.
27:38Yeah, definitely fragile projection for the Texans offense this week.
27:41You know, CJ Stroud has struggled a little bit without Nico.
27:44And, you know, like I said at the top, man, this entire offense runs through him.
27:49I got to say real quick before we move on, you kind of mentioned there was some concern about Woody Marks, you
27:56know, kind of stealing some work from David Montgomery this season.
27:59And I'm just sorry. If you thought that, you don't know ball.
28:03You do not know ball. If you were concerned about Woody Marks here at fantasy points, we got a team of ball
28:09knowers that were not concerned about Woody Marks. And our team of ball knowers are absolutely helping you dominate your DFS lineups.
28:16All of your contests this season, myself and Jake are co-writing slate breakdown.
28:20We had a nice week one. Ryan Heath's advanced matchups is always a must read.

28:49Guys, let's keep it going here. Steelers and the Patriots.
28:52Steelers and the Patriots. Patriots are five and a half point favorites after last week's debacle in Seattle.
28:57I thought Drake may played absolutely terrible, looked like a rookie in Seattle.
29:01But yeah, nice little projection for new England coming off a really bad game.
29:06Injury notes in this game, Michael Pittman is going to miss with a foot injury.
29:10Maybe this was the injury he had in training camp that we didn't get too much information about.
29:16He was dealing with an undisclosed injury. I'm totally speculating, but he's going to miss this week.
29:21And Trevion Henderson is off the injury report. He will play week two after Ramondri Stevenson got bell cow workload last week against Seattle.
29:28Jake, we got to have the talk, man. DK Metcalf.
29:31He's 5,200. He's too cheap. He got 10 targets last week.
29:35He got 50% of the air yards and scored eight fantasy points.
29:38That sounds like DK Metcalf. He is going to draw, I think, pretty considerable ownership.
29:43Chris has never been really a big DK Metcalf guy.
29:46I know him personally. He's never really loved Metcalf, but he is popping as one of the best values on DraftKings.
29:52What do you think of the Steelers this week, man?
29:56Yeah. I mean, Metcalf isn't just one of the best values.
29:59He's actually right now our top wide receiver value on the slate.
30:03You know, 19 expected fantasy points last week, like you noted, obviously fell flat.
30:07But I was encouraged by the passing volume. Pittsburgh posted the second highest pass rate over expectation of any team in week one.
30:14That's something that's historically been pretty sticky with Mike McCarthy.
30:17And, you know, Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers are boys.
30:20I think Rodgers might want to sling it. McCarthy wants to sling it.
30:24And, you know, at this point with no Michael Pittman, it does look like Metcalf is going to get peppered with targets.
30:31So, you know, I think you're probably going there in cash.
30:34He's a great value, but man, in GPPs, I would not blame you if you wanted to be underweight on DK Metcalf.
30:41I'll be curious where ownership comes in. But yeah, it's, I think a bit tougher of a sell in GPPs, just given
30:47the historic production we've seen out of him. Yeah, if he pushes like moderate ownership, Jake, like, I don't know, 15% ish,
30:54then yeah, sure, I'll have some for sure. But yeah, if he's projecting to be one of the chalkier ownership, you know,
31:01one of the higher own plays on the slate, we'll have to see on Saturday.
31:05But I'm kind of with you. I think that's where it'll trend.
31:09He's just going to project so well and pop up in so many optimizers across the industry this week.
31:15Ryan, you are a resident Patriots fan. And I'm curious for your thoughts of what you saw to Drake May.
31:21Obviously, we're going to have a bit of a different pass catching group this week.
31:26AJ Brown on IR. He's going to miss the next four weeks at least.
31:30So we're going to run Romeo Dobbs, Demario Douglas, Matt Collins, Eli Raritan, and Hunter Henry are going to kind of be
31:37the rotation for the Patriots this week. I got to admit, man, I think Drake May is a little interesting at 6,100 if nobody's going to play him.
31:45I think that's really the best angle I could give is it's Drake May.
31:49He was the QB2 in fantasy points per game last year and no one wants to play him.
31:55That's about as far as I'd go, though. I don't feel that great about this passing game whatsoever.
32:00I would really love Kayshaun Booty as a Patriots fan right now.
32:04Sure would have been cool if we hadn't traded him away for absolutely nothing for no reason before the season would have
32:11been a nice little depth piece there for this team.
32:14But yeah, to move on to the DFS analysis instead of the Patriots grievances, I think Ramondre Stevenson is going just as a bit under owned.
32:22I think he's pretty underrated on this slate. He's only 5,700 to me, unless I'm forgetting someone.
32:27I think to me, that's the best running back play under 6K.
32:31It's a five and a half point spread. Stevenson averages 16.1 DraftKings points per game in wins going back to the start of last season.
32:38That would rank seventh best on the slate. He's priced as the RB18.
32:42He was in a total every down bell cow workload last week, of course, with Trevion Henderson out.
32:48But plenty of that sample that I just rattled off where Stevenson has scored as a top seven running back in wins
32:54included a lot of games with Trevion Henderson active.
32:57I just don't think the team likes him that much.
33:00If I'm being frank, Stevenson, it's just not a team or an offense that cares about generating explosives in the run game.
33:07That's not really like the idea that Josh McDaniel has ever seemed to have.
33:11So I do think the workload could continue to be pretty good for Stevenson.
33:15I like him quite a bit if you're trying to save money at the position.
33:20I guess the only other player I have any passing interest in on this offense would be Demario Douglas as purely a
33:27punt option at the wide receiver position. He's 3,800.
33:30It does seem like the team is kind of obsessed with him.
33:33He has a positive schematic matchup this week. Five of his seven targets came against cover three last week.
33:39And that is what we have seen the Steelers and their new defensive coordinator, Patrick Graham, lean into going back to last
33:46year when he was with the Raiders. So I do think there's like a nice coverage shell match there.
33:52Douglas leading the team in route participation over 80% in the second half without A.J.
33:56Brown last week. He's like the dart I would throw for a punt wide receiver here.
34:01I'm not that excited about it, but I think he's maybe better than some of the other punts people are going to play this week.
34:09I'm with you. I think there's a little bit of underrated upside.
34:12Last week, Douglas had a really low average depth of target.
34:16I'm just chalking that up to, hey, Seattle's got one of the best secondaries, maybe the best secondary in football right now.
34:22But last season, Douglas actually had nearly a 10-yard A dot down the field.
34:27His A dot was actually a little deeper than Stephon Diggs.
34:30I'm with you. $3,800 is a nice price. Maybe I'm a little higher on Drake Maiden than you guys, and that's okay.
34:37I think he's legitimately interesting at $7,500 on FanDuel.
34:39He prices the QB11 over there. Definitely a decent technical value on FanDuel.
34:43Guys, we'll keep it going here. Packers and the Jets.
34:46Packers are just three-and-a-half point favorites going into New York.
34:50Over-under, 44-and-a-half. Only real injury note I have in this game is Omar Cooper is out with an ankle injury.
34:56He seems like maybe an IR candidate. Right now he's week-to-week.
34:59Regardless, it's kind of a little bit of a consolidated pass-catching group for the Jets.
35:04Ryan, or excuse me, Jake, let's talk to you with your thoughts on the Packers.
35:08Marshawn Lloyd week did not work out super well.
35:11I think our guy Chris Wecht chalked it up really nicely that basically the Packers kind of had to keep their running
35:18backs in the backfield last week blocking for Jordan Love because, like as Ryan said earlier in the show, yeah, they just
35:24got blitzed into oblivion by Brian Flores, who's just a complete madman.
35:28Should be a completely different spot here against this Jets defense.
35:31That's pretty solid, but definitely not as good as the Vikings.
35:35Jake, what do you think of the Packers here, man?
35:38Yeah, I think the Packers are really interesting this week.
35:41I'm not all that excited about Marshawn Lloyd. You mentioned there is some underrated receiving upside, I think, relative to last week.
35:48But if they fall behind, he can still lose routes to Chris Brooks.
35:51He can still lose goal line stuff to Chris Brooks.
35:55I also think that we have a pretty compelling running back value in the same range in Aaron Jones.
36:00So I'd rather just pay, what is it, $200 less to get Aaron Jones.
36:05But I do think the passing attack here for Green Bay is pretty interesting to me in GPPs.
36:10You know, Jordan Love's only 5,900, and Green Bay just posted their fourth highest pass rate over expectation since 2024.
36:16And that was kind of the thesis with no Josh Jacobs that this team would want to lean more into the pass.
36:23They have talented receivers. They have Jordan Love. And the nice thing this week is that, you know, Matthew Golden, Jaden Reed,
36:30both under 5K, they're very easy to fit into stacks.
36:33And then Christian Watson, the best of the trio, is also pretty reasonably priced here.
36:37So I'm sort of stacking Love always with Christian Watson.
36:40And then I'm going to mix in some Golden, mix in some Reed, mix in some Tucker Craft, get some double stacks going there.
36:48But yeah, I think I really want to play this through the passing attack.
36:52And yeah, that's kind of how I'm looking at Green Bay right now.
36:56Yeah, if you're listening to us on YouTube, our guy Trey has the Fantasy Points data suite up on the screen.
37:02You can see Jaden Reed's route share is just at 63% in a game where Tucker Craft was basically limited.
37:08It'll be Matthew Golden playing all the 12 personnel snaps.
37:11Ryan, I think you noted it earlier on in our projections meeting that Golden's basically just token over the Romeo Dobbs role.
37:18I'm done with Jaden Reed. He's going to have a couple good games this year because he always earns targets on the field.
37:25But man, I mean, like, dude, he's if you can't if you can't run a bigger route share with Tucker Craft, you
37:32know, being limited this week and to start this season, then I mean, I don't I don't really know what we're talking about.
37:39Ryan, your thoughts on the Jets here, man. I think they're a little interesting.
37:43Packers could certainly push. Gino's cheap and Garrett Wilson is a nice price.
37:47Yeah, I just first want to note totally with you in terms of being done with Jaden Reed.
37:53Dude, it's over. Yeah, it's over. He's so cheap, though.
37:56I mean, the hashtag fell for it again. I will say him and Golden are both projecting as like fringe top 20,
38:02top 25 values for us just because of the price.
38:06I totally understand the frustration, but the price is pretty nice there.
38:09Yeah, no, I agree. Packers passing game is really intriguing this week.
38:13And I do think one of my like more fun ways to play that is you can either do the full stack
38:20with a Garrett Wilson bring back or you can just go with a mini stack.
38:24I think Christian Watson, Garrett Wilson, Matthew Golden, Garrett Wilson is fairly compelling.
38:28Wilson was in the role we expected for him.
38:31He ranked top five in first read target share among all wide receivers in week one.
38:36Of course, it was a game that his team led throughout, which is likely not going to be the case in this
38:42game or most of the Jets game. So I do think there's some underrated upside here for a Garrett Wilson.
38:49It is a strong coverage shell matchup for him, as I wrote about in advanced matchups that people can check out.
38:55But I think more so this Packers defense, we could be looking back five weeks from now and saying, oh, this is
39:02actually just one of the defenses we always want to play guys against.
39:06Going back to last season, they rank fifth worst in EPA per drop back allowed on snaps with Micah Parsons off the field.
39:13They generated a bottom 10 pressure rate in week one.
39:16That's a really, really big note because Geno Smith is the most pressure sensitive quarterback in the league by accurate throw rate,
39:22by all of our charted advanced quarterback metrics. So I do think if there's any spot for Geno to support a ceiling
39:29game for Garrett Wilson, I think it would be right here.
39:33And I like playing that. I mentioned there's a lot of good 6K range wide receivers.
39:37I think Wilson is one of my favorites right now, even though he's going to pick up a little bit of ownership.
39:44So he's pretty strong. Brees Hall is OK to me.
39:47I think he's a worse play than DeAndre Swift.
39:50And then another 6K-ish running back that we're going to talk about.
39:54For me, the concern with Hall is that Braylon Allen, I think, is still an issue at the goal line.
40:00He had a 23-yard rushing touchdown called back due to penalty.
40:03Last week had a couple other short yardage snaps negated by penalty.
40:07I don't think it is just going to be reset the goal line every time like the box score would have suggested last week.
40:14So that, to me, is why I'm a little scared of Hall in a game where the Jets are three-point dogs.
40:20Hall's route share had come down relative to where it was last year with Braylon Allen healthy.
40:26So, yeah, I'm probably good on Hall, but Garrett Wilson is compelling.
40:29And, I mean, we talked about Carson Wentz earlier.
40:32I think he just blows out every other cheap QB on this slate.
40:36But I guess Geno, from that angle, is fine.
40:39I'm with you. Yeah, Wentz is certainly the better play.
40:42He's got the better play caller. Justin Jefferson is potentially the best receiver on this slate as well.
40:47That being said, I'm a known Geno Smith hater.
40:50I've never liked Geno Smith, but this is kind of a really good spot the more you dig into it.
40:56Your note on this Packers defense without Micah Parsons is super dank.
41:00And, man, I've always loved Garrett Wilson. 29% target share last week.
41:04Got a huge 38% first read target share. And really just he could have had a really nice game, six catches, 79 grabs.
41:11He only ran 21 routes just because the Titans offense was a total train wreck last week.
41:16Again, Packers should be able to push in this spot.
41:19Yeah, Geno is certainly going to make slate breakdown this week.
41:22I'm not really entirely sure Jake will have him shake out in the rankings, but certainly in play for tournaments just because this spot is pretty nice.
41:30You know what's not a nice spot? Anytime the Browns are playing.
41:34Deshaun Watson was an absolute catastrophe last week for the Jags.
41:37Against the Jags, excuse me. We've got Browns and Bucs.
41:40Bucs are big, 8.5 point favorites. This total is just 41.5.
41:44The Browns have a 16.5 implied point team total.
41:47Jake, I've pretty much just X'd out the Browns, man.
41:50I mean, it's rough out here. Yeah, it is.
41:52It is really rough. You guys know that meme that's like, damn, bitch, you live like this?
41:58That's how I feel about the Browns offense right now.
42:01It is a disaster. I want nothing to do with them.
42:04Deshaun Watson actually projects as our QB11 by value, but there's a lot of good value quarterbacks on the board.
42:10I'm just, I'm not clicking it. Yeah, play Wentz, play Geno.
42:13If you're trying to build a, you know, kind of a cheaper quarterback team, there's just, there's just way better quarterbacks down there.
42:20Ryan, let's talk about the Bucs, man. Much better offense.
42:24Baker had some really bad turnovers last week, just some boneheaded turnovers, but otherwise he played pretty well.
42:29He's back fully healthy. The catchable throw rate was up.
42:32I think Amika Ibuka is a pretty strong play here in this spot.
42:36Same with Bucky Irving. We'll see if Sean Tucker actually does play around the goal line, but I think one of the
42:43most interesting things, as Jake noted in Slate Breakdown this week, he actually played quite a bit in the passing game.
42:49It was kind of my big concern coming into this year that Bucky was just basically going to get cucked by Gainwell
42:56in the pass game, but nah, it was actually Irving.
42:59Got a 25% target share, as Jake noted. What do you think of the spot here for the Bucs?
43:05A little bit of a bounce back maybe for Baker against this Browns defense that has, I mean, they've just been one
43:11of the worst defenses in football without Mouse Garrett.
43:14Yeah, I really like the Buccaneers this week. We wrote this up in Everything Report earlier in the week, but from a
43:21team regression level after week one, I think the Buccaneers are kind of the best buy low type of offense.
43:27They ranked bottom six in total plays run just because, yeah, as you mentioned, there were so many turnovers.
43:33They had a minus three turnover differential. That's like the flukiest thing in football.
43:37If that just doesn't happen in this game where they are massive favorites, could be a lot more plays run, could be
43:44just a lot more fantasy points for their entire offense.
43:47So I think Bucky Irving especially stands out as a strong play to me.
43:51I mentioned Reese Hall, DeAndre Swift, as he's like 6K-ish running backs.
43:55I think Bucky is just the best of all of them.
43:58Career high, 25% target share. Last week, man, ran more routes than Gainwell.
44:02Got all of the work inside the red zone.
44:05I'm not scared of Sean Tucker. He had to take a pay cut to even stay with the team.
44:11It didn't really sound like this regime was that high on him.
44:14So I just admit this place where Bucky Irving was this talent.
44:18Everyone was so excited about going into 2025. He was getting taken in the late second round of redraft leagues, was viewed as this ascending running back talent.
44:27Last year, really just the health and the high value touches were kind of taken away as the season went on because he wasn't very healthy.
44:34But I think we're just back with Bucky. And yeah, with reasonable ownership, we're showing him at around 10% right now.
44:41That's going to be one of my favorite running back plays on the slate.
44:45I think Emeka Ibuka is interesting just for similar team level regression reasons.
44:49He's at 6,400 kind of in that, again, very crowded range where there's a lot of exciting wide receiver plays to me.
44:56Probably the best note I had on him was that he had six targets on plays with motion at the snap to Chris Godwin's one in week one.
45:04That was kind of the Drake London cheat code last year that Zach Robinson would use to get all of his players
45:11the ball in their hands and just consolidate all of this fantasy production to them.
45:16So I think Ibuka is also a really interesting play.
45:19He's going to be extremely under-owned. Yeah, as I said, a lot of good wide receivers to get to in that range.
45:25I think Bucky is a better play, but both of them are pretty intriguing to me.
45:30Yeah, I'm definitely with you. Jalen McMillan should be back.
45:33He seemed legitimately close to playing last week. He had this knee injury that he picked up in August.
45:39He should be practicing. He was practicing fully. He should be back this week.
45:43Guys, I'm pretty concerned about Chris Godwin. I fully faded him this year just because, hey, I kind of thought there was a chance he might be dust.
45:52According to our average separation score metrics here at Fantasy Points Data, yeah, he had a negative ass last week.
45:58There's a real chance that we're on the last legs for Godwin, and it sucks because Godwin has been one of my
46:05favorite players, one of our favorite players here at Fantasy Points for a very long time.
46:10But I'm looking at this as like, hey, maybe this is Buka's chance to really prove that he's an alpha target earner
46:16with Godwin taking a big step back and Jalen McMillan maybe not being fully close and fully integrated in the offense after he's missed so much practice time.
46:25All right, guys, let's get to the final game of the 1 p.m.
46:29slate, big 1 p.m. slate this week, Eagles and the Titans.
46:32Eagles are seven-point favorites. This total is 39.5. The Titans have a 16.3 implied team total.
46:37Eagles are tricky, man, because Jalen Hurts is certainly capable of dropping a 30-burger.
46:41Dallas Goddard is one of the best value plays on the slate, Jake.
46:45But I have real concerns about Cam Ward and the Titans being able to push the Eagles offense in this spot.
46:52What do you think of Philly? Yeah, I think I have the same concerns.
46:56And to me, that leads me to Saquon Barkley, who's very reasonably priced at only $7,000, only projecting for about 10% ownership too.
47:03And he's a guy who's averaged 20.5 DraftKings fantasy points per game in his wins since he joined the Eagles, scoring at
47:10least 36 DK points in 24% of those games.
47:13So he's not projecting as one of the highest-owned running backs of the slate.
47:17This is a spot where they would be expected to lean on Saquon Barkley.
47:21That certainly makes me like him. I'm not going to get to a ton of Hurts.
47:26I think you can stack Hurts with Devontae Smith, Dontavian Wicks.
47:29But Dallas Goddard would be my favorite option overall.
47:32Pretty solid schematic matchup for Goddard against a Titans defense that's expected to run a lot of cover three.
47:38But like you said, they may not need to throw here as seven-point favorites.
47:42I think Barkley, clearly my favorite play here. And then I'll mix in some Goddard into my lineups, but probably won't get too many stacks from this game.
47:51Ryan, you have the unfortunate task of talking Titans this week.
47:54What do you think of Tennessee, man? It's bad.
47:57What do you want me to say? I'm not playing any of these guys.
48:01Say nothing. Say nothing. I think it's fine. Yeah, I'm all set.
48:05I can give you like a depressing Cam Ward stat if you want.
48:09Sure. Make Titans fans even more tilted. So here, Cam Ward has failed to reach 200 passing yards in 10 of his first 18 NFL starts now.
48:17I'm going to read off the name of every other quarterback since 2010 with more than 10 games where they haven't done that through their first 18.
48:25It is Blaine Gabbert, Justin Fields, Bryce Young, Jimmy Claussen, Tyler Huntley, Jake Locker, Derek Carr, Josh Rosen, and Jalen Hurts.
48:32So, yeah, I guess pray that he's Derek Carr or Jalen Hurts.
48:35Titans fans. Good luck. Yeah, good luck, Titans fans.
48:38It is rough out here. It is rough if you drafted any Titans.
48:42That was a team we were avoiding here at Fantasy Points.
48:45All of us were off for Carnell Tate and pretty much everybody on this offense.
48:50And, honestly, it feels weird. It's week two, but I'm pretty much X-ing out Titans and Browns.
48:55This feels like kind of a middle-of-the-season slate for these two offenses.
48:59We've just got so many better teams to play guys on.
49:02And, Ryan, you're just right. I mean, this is pretty brutal.
49:06Let's talk about a better game. Jags and the Broncos.
49:09Broncos are two-and-a-half point favorites here in Denver. 45-and-a-half total.
49:12I think the Jags are pretty underrated here in this spot, Jake.
49:15I mean, Trevor Lawrence is still too cheap. Parker Washington is still too cheap.
49:20Man, the Broncos, I have a ton of respect for this defense.
49:23I picked the Broncos to go to the Super Bowl.
49:26That looks pretty bad after week one, after we saw what we saw out of Bo Nix.
49:32But, Jags, man, I think they're pretty underrated here in this spot.
49:35The team total is not great. I think that's going to keep a lot of ownership off these players.
49:41Yeah, I think it is. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Trevor Lawrence catch a little steam.
49:47Of course, the argument against Lawrence is, you know, we basically never want to play a quarterback on the road against this Denver defense.
49:54But the argument for Lawrence is basically every other data point possible.
49:57Over his last eight games, he ever just 27 expected fantasy points per game.
50:02That's three more than the next closest quarterback, easily first, and 26 actual fantasy points per game.
50:07And, you know, the hot start that he had in week one pretty much only confirms to me that this season's version
50:14of Trevor Lawrence is the same guy that we saw last year who scored 31 DraftKings points against Denver on the road in week 16.
50:21Broncos also run top three rates of man coverage dating back to 2025.
50:25And Trevor Lawrence has crushed man coverage over that same time span.
50:2950% increase to his fantasy points per drop back, 24% boost to his yards per attempt against man coverage.
50:35Of course, all those man notes also lead us to Parker Washington.
50:38Ryan noted a fantastic schematic matchup for Parker Washington here.
50:41So I'm stacking Trevor Lawrence with Parker Washington every time.
50:45But I also think you can mix in Jacoby Myers, mix in Brenton Strange.
50:49BTJ is expected to get the Pat Sertan shadow.
50:52So he would probably be the wide receiver that I'm the lowest on here.
50:56I do think you can also mix in a little bit of Bysholtun.
51:00He looked really good in week one. And the Broncos did just get shredded by Ken Walker.
51:05But I primarily want to play this through the passing game.
51:08And I mean, geez, if we get Trevor Lawrence at sub 5% ownership, I'm going to be very, very excited about him in tournaments.
51:16Yeah, we didn't learn too much about this Jags backfield, Jake, just because, I mean, the Browns were just not competitive week one.
51:23But Tootin looked incredible, as you noted. Tons of missed tackles forced, according to our fantasy points data.
51:28And yeah, BTJ is interesting. He left the game early with a shoulder injury.
51:32He's completely fine. But in the first quarter, Parker Washington, BTJ both ran eight routes.
51:37Washington had four targets. BTJ had three. Jacoby Myers had zero.
51:40So yeah, just a really tough spot. Pat Sertan is basically the only corner that I'm really afraid of to catch it,
51:47you know, when a receiver catches a shadow. But Trevor Lawrence is just playing at such a high level, legitimate MVP candidate
51:54that, yeah, I think he's in consideration as like a 1% or 2% GPP play.
51:58I'm going to write him up, probably bury him in the rankings, but definitely write him up.
52:04Ryan, I'll throw to you for your thoughts on the Broncos.
52:07I noted earlier, I mean, Bo Nix was just a catastrophe.
52:10Davis Webb had a really, really bad first game.
52:13Colin plays here for the Broncos. I just pulled it up on Twitter.
52:17RJ Harvey is practicing. He picked up a hamstring injury.
52:20He's questionable going into this spot. But let's talk Broncos.
52:23Let's talk Bo Nix. Across the industry, just looking at projections from, you know, everybody in the industry, it seems like Bo
52:30Nix is one of the best, if not the best, points per dollar value plays on the slate.
52:35And I get it. I mean, Bo Nix was awesome for fantasy last year.
52:40He was a top 10 fantasy quarterback. Jalen Waddell is too cheap.
52:43I think he's going to have a bounce back here very, very soon.
52:47Could be this week. But man, this is just such a good quarterback slate.
52:52What do you think of the Broncos? Yeah, to be honest, I'm going to have a hard time playing Broncos at all this week.
52:59Nick's, as you mentioned, makes sense just from a value perspective.
53:02He's only 5,700. Anyone that does projections and has to actually work through it in the spreadsheets is going to tell you,
53:09yeah, Bo Nix is a good value, should score a good amount of fantasy points for that dollar price tag.
53:15But like, I don't know, man. I watch that Davis Webb offense.
53:19It's really hard for me to want to play him or any piece from this team.
53:24But I do think if you want to step back and say, hey, week one's a one-week sample with a new play
53:30caller's first actual time calling a regular season NFL game, maybe he just is better in week two.
53:36Like, I would hear that out. I would much prefer to play this game through the Jaguars, though.
53:41If you are playing Knicks or if you are interested in Broncos, I think Waddell just is where I would go back to.
53:48It sucks that he's 6,500, so kind of at the higher end of that 6K range of receivers that I keep talking up.
53:55Just one catch on three targets last week. He did at least lead the team in route participation rate.
54:01I do think this offense probably wants to have Jalen Waddell highly involved.
54:05You heard on the broadcast on Monday night that Sean Payton told his wife to draft Jalen Waddell in fantasy football.
54:12Clearly, it didn't work out with how they actually were running the offense.
54:15In this game. But I do think Waddell will bounce back at some point.
54:20I just don't know that he's like where I want to place my chips on this slate.
54:25Yeah, the only other thing I could come up with is Evan Engram is 3,300 was a little bit more involved.
54:31If you're looking for a punt tight end that isn't Dalton Schultz, I think there's maybe some intrigue there.
54:37But will I ultimately play him outside of like a 150 set at all?
54:41Probably not. Yeah, I maybe misspoke. Yeah, Waddell is definitely not a value on DraftKings.
54:46But I do think he's decent play on Fandle.
54:49Just 6,700. Price below Ted Aronick, Milla. And he's right in that range with Parker Washington.
54:54I think Waddell makes quite a bit of sense over there.
54:57I'm with you. There's just better plays on DraftKings in the 6K range.
55:01Maybe I misspoke a moment ago. Let's go to Raiders and the Chargers.
55:05Chargers, man, really rough game for the Chargers. The offensive line was struggling.
55:09I don't think Justin Herbert played his best game ever.
55:12He didn't play terribly, though. But Raiders, Chargers here, man, 6.5 point favorites.
55:16Los Angeles, 6.5 point favorites. Total is 43.5. Big injury note to watch this weekend is Lad McConkie.
55:21He picked up a ribs injury. He got hit in the back.
55:25It looked like a pretty gnarly hit last week.
55:28I thought maybe he just got the wind knocked out of him.
55:32But we'll see. John Harbaugh is, man, I mean, he's really, really hard to get information on when it comes to injuries.
55:38We're not going to have really any information probably going into this slate unless Schefter just drops a bomb or rap sheet drops a bomb before Saturday night.
55:47We'll see, man. Raiders side, Jake, pretty interesting. I had Ashton Gentry ranked as the top tournament play last week in DFS.
55:53That worked out pretty well. He did not really get priced up on either site, especially on FanDuel.
55:596,800 on DraftKings. Just a really strong spot, man.
56:02Looked fully healthy. I know the Chargers, what this spread is telling us.
56:06Chargers are nearly a touchdown favorite. But I've got to go back to Gentry again.
56:10Yeah. I mean, I do too. He looked incredible in week one.
56:14Finished Sunday with the second best running back workload and the third most fantasy points.
56:19And, you know, even with the spread, Gentry's going to be involved regardless.
56:22He had a 20% target share. He ranked fifth among all running backs in route share.
56:27So I really think you can play Gentry regardless of how you think this game's going to play out.
56:33Because he should just be $1,000 more expensive running back at his talent level, getting a bell cow workload at 6,800.
56:40Just way too cheap here. And then the only other guy that I'm really that interested in on the Raiders side.
56:46I suppose you can play Trey Tucker. But Michael Mayer, you know, led the Raiders in targets last week without Brock Bowers.
56:53In his five games since 2025 without Bowers, he averages 0.27 targets per route run.
56:57That's an elite number. That would have led all tight ends in 2025.
57:01So the per route efficiency with a guy like Michael Mayer is as good as any tight end in the NFL.
57:08And he's only 3,600. This is a very good spot.
57:11He's a strong value. Yet again, I think we have Schultz as a slightly better play.
57:16But to me, their neck and neck is sort of the top point per dollar tight end values.
57:21Yeah, definitely. And Mayer is going to be pretty much maybe half the ownership looking at industry ownership projections.
57:27He's about 10% across the industry average right now.
57:30That's going to be a lot lower than it was in week one.
57:34He's a very, very strong play, as Jake noted.
57:36Ryan, I'll throw to you, man. It looked like Lad McConkie was going to have an awesome game, but like I said,
57:43got knocked out with his ribs injury. Pretty much, Justin Herbert's entire projection, in my opinion, this week hinges upon Lad McConkie.
57:50I don't know if I can really play him if his top receivers are Trey Harris and Quentin Johnston.
57:56So that's TBD. Really, the biggest question I want to ask you is what you thought of the Omar and Hampton usage,
58:02and are you going to go back to him here?
58:05I mean, this is a pretty decent bounce back spot against this Raiders defense that has Max Crosby, and then that's kind of it.
58:13Let's talk about Hampton first, yeah. I think overall, from a season-long perspective, I was fairly concerned about Hampton, just because coming
58:19into the year, I thought that it would be much more clearly all Hampton in the high-value touch situations in the red
58:26zone as the guy running the most routes. That's not what we saw.
58:30Hampton played just 57% of the snaps in the red zone, which is the lowest of basically any running back that's priced
58:37at 6,500 or above on this slate. So that's a little concerning to me.
58:41Keaton Mitchell running more routes than him, a little bit concerning to me.
58:45But I mean, ultimately, this is still a really great spot for him, especially if McConkie's banged up.
58:51We could see the Chargers try to lean on the run a little bit more.
58:55That didn't go super well with the interior run blocking last week, but certainly could change against the Raiders.
59:01It's a really good kind of get-right spot for O'Marrion Hampton.
59:04Like a couple, multiple touchdowns wouldn't surprise me. I think he's a pretty decent play.
59:09But yeah, looking over to the passing game, I think it's exactly how you stated it.
59:14I am just going to wait for the Sunday morning Adam Schefter tweet before deciding how I'm playing this team.
59:20Because yeah, if Ladd McConkie's in and not limited, then I would be pretty intrigued by Herbert and McConkie.
59:26The splits with McConkie on and off the field in week one are very, very stark.
59:31Herbert had the fourth best adjusted net yards per attempt on his dropbacks with McConkie and fell to dead last without him,
59:37all the way from 10 NEA to just about one adjusted net yard per attempt.
59:42It was pretty brutal. The offense just didn't do anything without Ladd.
59:46So I do think that's a compelling single stack if Ladd is looking good heading into Sunday morning.
59:51If he's not, then Quentin Johnson, Trey Harris are going to pop as technical values.
59:56I'm just not sure I would go there, honestly.
59:58I just don't have that high an opinion of the talent of either of these players.
60:03Harris at 4K is probably who I'd go with.
60:06He ran every route after McConkie left the game in week one.
60:10I got up to a 25% target share. So that's like fair enough.
60:14I can understand wanting to go there. QJ is up at 5K.
60:17I think there are probably better plays to go after in that range.
60:21Jalen Coker are probably a good example, even if Ladd's out.
60:25So that's how I'm seeing the Chargers. Yeah, I'm with you.
60:28QJ is just priced up too much. I'm with you on that for sure.
60:32And I'm certainly willing to give Omari and Hampton one more week.
60:36I noted, you know, basically Chargers had really bad run blocking in this, their opening game.
60:41We'll see if Mike McDaniel watches the film, makes any adjustments going into week two.
60:45All right, guys. Best game on the slate, Commanders and the Cowboys.
60:49Cowboys are three and a half point favorites. We have a 50 and a half point total.
60:54Only three games, I believe, with a total above 47 this week.
60:58This is one of them here in Dallas. Only injury note I have in this game is Chig Okonkwo is out.
61:04He has a hamstring injury. Kind of consolidating the Washington pass catching group just a little bit here, Jake.
61:10Jay Daniels was pretty interesting last week against the Eagles.
61:13I kind of thought he was in play for contrarian, you know, kind of a contrarian play this week.
61:19He's a pretty awesome player against Dallas. Across the industry, just looking at industry projections, he's anywhere from like the best play
61:26on the slate to, you know, either best play to top three.
61:29Just 6,300 for Jaden Daniels. Dak Prescott is 6,400.
61:32So really nice spot here for this Commanders offense and a potential shootout against Dallas.
61:37Yeah, yeah. Really, really great spot. This is a matchup with a Dallas defense that's allowed the fifth most passing yards per game since 2025.
61:44Just gave up a big rushing workload to Jackson Dart in week one.
61:48And I actually looked at, dating back to last season, no defense has allowed more rushing fantasy points per game or rushing
61:55expected fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks than the Cowboys.
61:58Plus, it's a slate best game environment. So really love Jay Daniels.
62:02I think my preferred way to play this game is through the Commander side.
62:06And I also think that that's because the double stack is very straightforward.
62:10You know, no Chig Okonkwo. Usage should be pretty condensed between Stefan Diggs and Terry McLaurin.
62:15Diggs is 5,300. McLaurin's 5,200. So this is a very reasonably priced double stack with a ton of upside.
62:21And then I think it's easy to use any number of bringbacks from the Dallas side here because the game environment is so good.
62:28Javante Williams, George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb, all popping is pretty solid options.
62:32But I'll let Ryan talk a little bit more about those guys.
62:36Yeah, I think I agree overall that just looking at the projections and the projected ownership for this game, I would prefer
62:42to play it through the Commanders because the Cowboys are going to draw a lot of ownership.
62:47The Dak, CeeDee, Pickens stack is going to be probably one of the most popular on the slate.
62:53I understand why CeeDee Lamb priced it just 7,300.
62:56Pickens at just 6,300. They are good values. They are good plays, of course.
63:00CeeDee was top 12 among all position players in XFP per team play last week.
63:05So I think he just is a straightforwardly good value.
63:08George Pickens lost 51 air yards to drops in week one more than he did the entirety of last season.
63:14So he's just like a clear bounce back candidate in this spot.
63:17So I like the Dallas passing game, but I do think relative to projected ownership, I'm not that crazy about it.
63:24Dak, I don't want to doubt the guy a ton, but he just in these big shootouts, he only averages 20.2 DraftKings
63:31points per game in games with a 50 or better total over under.
63:34Only gone over 25 DK once in seven games since the start of last season in these types of big shootout spots.
63:41So I do think very often the way to play it is just to go to the Cowboys opponent.
63:47So I would agree with Jake that that's how I'd prefer to go here with the passing games.
63:53Javante Williams, though, I think is just an awesome play.
63:5620.5 expected fantasy points last week. Played every snap inside the 10.
63:59Got every goal line carry. Just absolutely nothing to complain about with this Javante Williams workload.
64:04Of course, we got the run out where Malik Davis got injured three days before the season.
64:09Amari Di Mercado, who they had picked up off the Chiefs practice squad, I believe, is the RB2.
64:15So I just think Javante Williams early in the season when he's still priced down at $6,400 is just one of the
64:22clear best value running back plays here. All of the 6K running back pivots I was talking about earlier are all just
64:28kind of to get different off of Javante Williams.
64:31And you don't necessarily need to do that. I think he's a really, really strong play.
64:36Yeah, Javante is probably the top cash running back, I think, this week.
64:40And just maybe a little higher on Dallas' offense this week.
64:43But I'm not going to go into battle on drafts without George Pickens.
64:47This commander's secondary, like, I have just no respect for this defense.
64:51I don't think Dan Quinn is a very sharp head coach.
64:54Basically, I mean, he's been pretty bad without Micah Parsons or a really good pass rusher at any time.
65:00He's been a defensive coordinator in his career. This defense has really struggled.
65:04Basically, any way you split it on any downfield passing metric.
65:07Last two seasons on throws, 20 or more air yards down the field, according to Fantasy Points data.
65:13The commanders have given up the fifth most yards per route run.
65:16Only the Vikings, Steelers, Titans, and Cowboys have been worse on a per-route basis on throws of 20 more air yards.
65:23Yeah, Pickens is just way, way too cheap. He's my favorite play of the week over on DraftKings.
65:28Let's talk Seahawks and the Cardinals. Seahawks are going to go to Drew Locke this week.
65:33Sam Darnold has a weird injury. We got a report it was a hip.
65:38We got a report maybe it was a knee, and now it's his ass.
65:42I don't know what's going on. Seahawks and the Cardinals.
65:45Seahawks are four-and-a-half-point favorites. Total is 41-and-a-half. Seahawks, man, I mean, this is just an awesome team.
65:50Their defense is incredible. Cardinals have just an 18-and-a-half-point implied team total.
65:54Jacoby Brissett was one of the players that got very wrong last week.
65:58I did not – we didn't write him up.
66:00We didn't think the Cardinals had much of a chance to beat the Chargers, and they proved all of us dead wrong myself, especially.
66:08You know, this is just a really, really tough spot, though.
66:11Much, much more difficult defense against Seattle. Jake, I'll throw it to you for your thoughts on the Seahawks.
66:17And, man, can we get Jadarian Price on the field a little more?
66:21Yeah, that was sort of my thing with Seattle.
66:24I'm not super interested in this team, especially with all the value on the board elsewhere.
66:29But I think if I have interest in any Seahawks, it would be Jadarian Price because he looked so good last week,
66:35and the Seahawks are favored here, should lean on the run if they can try to hide Drew Locke a little bit.
66:42So I'll have some price exposure in GPPs. But, I mean, there are a ton of great running backs.
66:48I doubt, you know, in a 150 set I get to more than, say, 7-8% Jadarian Price.
66:53Yeah, that's basically the only way I'm playing Seahawks, too.
66:56JSN is obviously incredible. Drew Locke has been okay in his spot starts.
67:00He's one of the better backup quarterbacks, top five backup quarterback in football right now.
67:05But, yeah, I think there's just better receiver plays on the slate in his price range.
67:09Ryan, I'll throw to you for your thoughts on the Cardinals.
67:13It's just like I said, it's just a really tough spot.
67:16Like, Seattle's one of those defenses, kind of like the Broncos, where unless it's a really good offense, I'm just kind of off whoever they're playing.
67:24Yeah, the one way I'm playing the Cardinals and probably the one way I'm playing this game is just through Trey McBride.
67:31Because, yes, while he's priced up and there are a lot of good, cheaper tight end options on this slate, there is
67:38something to be said for the fact that he averages over 22 DraftKings points per game with Jacoby Brissett over the last two years.
67:45That would rank second best among all wide receivers on this slate.
67:49McBride priced up, but would only be priced as the wide receiver seven, if you just think of him like a wide receiver.
67:56So, in that sense, you can certainly argue that he's a value.
67:59It's a strong schematic matchup for McBride. The Seahawks tend to lean on zone coverage more than most other teams, and that's
68:06a nice boost for McBride, of course. I think the way I would play it, though, is through a mini stack.
68:12I would probably go Trey McBride and JSN, and yes, that's expensive, and you are really banking on the game environment being
68:19better than expected, but it gets you to some of the lesser-owned running back value.
68:24I think that's kind of an interesting way to start building.
68:27It's at least going to be something I have in mind, but that's really my only angle on this game and on the Cardinals.
68:34Yeah, it's just, you know, you never doubt Trey McBride.
68:37Dude rolls out of bed. He's going to get 26% of the targets.
68:41It's just what happens. It doesn't matter who the defense is.
68:45It doesn't matter what day of week it is.
68:47He's going to get his targets. Guys, let's finish off this awesome slate with the Dolphins and the 49ers.
68:5349ers not only are the biggest favorites on this 13-game slate, they also have the biggest implied point total at 29, 29.5.
69:00It's one of the best team outlooks we've got to start this season, and we have some consolidation here.
69:06Deshaun Stribling, unfortunately, is going on IR with an ankle injury.
69:09He needed surgery, as is Jake Tonjes. He's going to be on season-ending IR.
69:13He tore his MCL, unfortunately, over there in Australia.
69:16Jake, let's talk Miami first, though, man. Malik Willis is 5,200.
69:19He did not look particularly great in week one.
69:22You know, that was kind of the concern that he would kind of be like a Justin Fields-type player.
69:28I'm still banking on Malik Willis having more upside, better talent than Justin Fields.
69:32Obviously, the rushing was pretty good, but yeah, I mean, this offense kind of struggled in week one.
69:38The play volume was not very good. They're going to have to play a lot more high-paced, more volume this week to
69:45try and keep up with this 49ers passing offense in this entire scoring.
69:48What do you think of Miami here, man? What do you think of Malik Willis?
69:53Yeah, I mean, it sounds a little crazy to say, given their implied team total is under 16 points, but I really like Malik Willis this week.
70:01I'm not going to give up on a Scott Barrett Exodia one week into the season, particularly when it's a player like
70:08Malik Willis who has incredible rushing upside. Saw the 639 with one score rushing line last week.
70:13And I think, you know, you could argue that in certain game environments, Miami might try to hide Malik Willis and just,
70:20you know, run the ball, play it slow. This is not going to be one of those game environments.
70:26They're going to get down early and Malik Willis is going to have to drop back and throw.
70:31And, you know, on a fantasy point per drop back basis, Malik Willis is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
70:38I think, you know, going into the week, I was sort of wondering, how do I want to stack Malik Willis up?
70:45But the more that I looked into it, the more that I think Caleb Douglas at 3,700 is the obvious stacking partner.
70:51He's absurdly cheap, and he also finished week one with a 35% first read target share and 11.7 expected fantasy points.
70:58Both of those numbers rank top 30 among wide receivers.
71:01Caleb Douglas is priced as the wide receiver 70.
71:04He's actually popping as a top 10 value in our projections.
71:07So I really like playing the game through that.
71:10I also think another interesting angle with Willis is you can just play Malik Willis, load up on 49ers and sort of
71:16hope that Malik Willis gets you there in garbage time and outscores Purdy on a point per dollar basis.
71:22And then, you know, Devon Achan, Price is right at 6,700.
71:26The week one result wasn't great, but he did capture 95% of backfield expected fantasy points.
71:30That was the most of any week one running back.
71:34And, you know, this is a guy who leads all running backs over the last three seasons in explosive play rate.
71:40So any touch for Achan can go to the house.
71:43And I think he's another interesting sort of bring back option if you're stacking up the 49er side of this game.
71:49And there are a lot of fun ways to stack up the 49er side of this game.
71:55Yes, there are. That's my contrarian play on this slate, Jake.
71:58As you play Malik Willis with Devon Achan, then obviously you're going to bring it back with the 49er.
72:0449ers are definitely going to have a much improved defense this year.
72:07They just got slaughtered by injuries last year. Obviously, Fred Warner is, I mean, dude, he's always around the football.
72:14But this run defense might struggle a little bit.
72:16They gave up the six most yards before contact per attempt last week against the Rams.
72:21I like this spot quite a bit for Devon Achan.
72:24I don't think very few people are going to play Achan on this slate.
72:28I think Willis with Achan makes sense. And I got to give a shout out to our guy Steve O'Rourke.
72:35He's a big part of our fantasy points data team.
72:38He absolutely loved Caleb Douglas coming into this season as a prospect.
72:41And he looks absolutely incredible. Definitely looks like a decent value play.
72:45I think he's really the only receiver I would entertain, like Jake said, on this slate.
72:50So shout out to Steve. Looking like a huge hit there for Douglas.
72:54All right, Ryan, you get the very fortunate task of talking about the best team on this slate.
72:5949ers, like I said, 29 and a half implied point total.
73:03Brock Purdy, man, he's 6,200. I went into this week.
73:06I saw Brock Purdy at 6,200 on DraftKings on Monday.
73:09And I'm like, yeah, well, there's the cash quarterback.
73:12He's one of the best plays on the slate.
73:14And it's a super easy stack. As I noted at the top, we've got a consolidated pass catching group.
73:20What do you think of the Niners? Yeah, just if I forget anyone on the Niners, you guys got to let me
73:27know just because there's a lot to talk through here.
73:30But yeah, all of the options are just really awesome.
73:33I agree. Brock Purdy is the top quarterback play on the slate for me.
73:37Over his last five games, Purdy averages 25.1 DraftKings fantasy points per game.
73:41He's a top six quarterback in rushing yards per game on scrambles, like just extremely fantasy friendly, underratedly so, I would say.
73:48So Purdy, to me, is just a really, really great play.
73:51Only behind Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen in fantasy points per opportunity among all quarterbacks since the start of 2024.
73:57Yeah, love Brock Purdy. You can stack him. You have a few different options.
74:02You have George Kittle at 4,600. Only ran 47% of the routes in week one.
74:06But a lot of his work was designed. He was the first read on a lot of them.
74:12On the first drive, he ran eight routes and got targeted four times.
74:16And then the usage kind of faded from there as the game became less and less competitive.
74:21And it was halfway around the world. So I think fair enough that Kittle was in a limited role in week one
74:28as he was coming back from his Achilles injury.
74:30But I do think there's a world where it's just like full steam ahead and George Kittle and something closer to a full time role this week.
74:39And that would make him an incredible, incredible tournament play priced where he is.
74:43So he's someone you have to account for this week.
74:46Even Mike Evans up at 6,600, I think, is one of the more compelling wide receiver plays in this range.
74:52The 49ers had 33 aimed pass attempts in week one.
74:55Nine of those were just screens and seven were Mike Evans targets.
74:59So in other words, half of the passing game was either screens or real targets to Mike Evans, like down the field.
75:05He looked amazing. 17.3 expected fantasy points would have ranked wide receiver seven.
75:09He also didn't have like quite a full time route share.
75:13But I do think I'm just kind of willing to look at that and say, hey, the 49ers suffered a bunch of
75:19injuries to their tertiary pieces on offense. Jake Conjus, Dejan Stribbling.
75:23I do think we could see just a more consolidated route share and workload for the top guys this week now that they are back stateside.
75:31So, yeah, playing pretty stacks through Evans and Kittle is going to be one of my favorite things to do on the slate.
75:38And, of course, they're 13 and a half point favorites.
75:41So we have to consider the running game here.
75:44Christian McCaffrey up at 8K. He averages over 27 DraftKings fantasy points per game in wins since the start of last season.
75:50Even in multi-score wins, like games that were not close, that goes up to 28 DraftKings points per game, despite his snap share coming down a bit.
75:59So at least for GPPs, I would agree that there's a wider range of outcomes for McCaffrey's workload after we saw Kalen Black very involved last week.
76:07But I think the upside is 100% still there that McCaffrey could consolidate most of the backfield.
76:12And even if he doesn't in this game environment, he could still nuke even on a 50% to 60% design carry share.
76:19So I think he's a really strong play. Maybe you look at Kalen Black if you really want a—or no, is Kalen Black on the injury report?
76:27That's my bad. I should have confirmed that before we started the show.
76:31But yeah, if you want to punt with the 49ers RB2, I think that might be okay.
76:36But I'd probably play it through McCaffrey. Yeah, that's the way I'm leaning as well.
76:41I'm not really putting a whole lot of stock in a game that they had to travel halfway across the world for.
76:47Yeah, Kalen Black, let's see here. Yeah, he is on the injury report with the groin injury.
76:53Popped up yesterday. He's limited practice. So keep an eye on that going into this weekend.
76:57We'll see if we get any further information on Kalen Black.
77:01Before we wrap up, I've got to say there's three things in life that are for sure.
77:06Death, taxes, and Mike Evans having a high average separation score.
77:09The dude was second in an ass last week.
77:12He's going to be a Hall of Famer. He's going to be enshrined in Canton here in five years, six years, whenever he decides to retire.
77:20Dude was incredible in week one. And I'm with Ryan.
77:23I think he's one of my favorite plays on this slate.
77:26I noted earlier George Pickens is my favorite play on DraftKings.
77:30Mike Evans is very, very close to being second in terms of tournament plays.
77:3449ers just in an incredible spot. Speaking of incredible, this has been an incredible show.
