Speaker 1 (00:01):
Operation Domination is underway, the ultimate game club to dominate
your with your hosts.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
God, you gotta be confident about your achilles.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yeah, I got hope, be great, I'm dominated.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Well right, all right, all right, Welcome into another edition
of Operation Domination, available to you on your favorite podcast app,
and make sure you check out our video content when
you go to the Fantasy Football Advice Network YouTube channel
at FF advice Net. As always, I'm your host, Dan
Mader joined here with the full crew, Adam LaRue and

(00:48):
Chase and we got Week six preview. Thank god, there's
only two teams on buy this week. Four teams is
too much. It's too much. I'm telling you. We do
have a little breaking news. Joe Flacco got traded the

(01:11):
Cincinnati Bengals. How do you feel.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
It's so dumb? I mean genuinely uh so?

Speaker 4 (01:19):
I I think I told Dan before the show, I
was looking into it. Both of them on about forty
one percent. It's like really close, about forty one percent
of their dropbacks of face pressure. They are both in
the bottom ten of the NFL. And that's like eligible
quarterbacks we're talking including Carson Wentz, Mariota, like those guys
like it have taken snaps at the quarterback position like no, no,

(01:43):
you know, starters like whatever. Joe Flacco's under forty percent
completion by the way, even Jake Browning is at fifty one.
Both of them are awful, both of turn of worthy
play rate. Browning was at eight percent, Joe Flacco's at six.
Neither of them big time throw rate is that impressive.
Joe Flacco's one touchdown and four interceptions against pressure, and

(02:06):
he will be facing a lot of it in Cincinnati,
just like he did in Cleveland. There's the receivers got better,
but the offensive line did not. And that was the
problem for Joe Flacco. It wasn't a receiver problem for
him in Cleveland. It was he cannot handle pressure. His
feet are concrete.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
Yeah, move when you get old like that, trust me now.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
And that's fine. That's fine. But to Adam's point, like,
I think people are gonna look at this like, but
Joe Flacco still has an arm and now there's schmar
Chasten t Higgins And I'm here to say, like, I don't,
I don't say that was gonna be different. Jake Browning,
Jake brown can throw a decent deep ball. In his
own right, there's gonna be just as many turnovers, just
as many sacks taken. I don't think this gets any better.
I don't know what the point of the move was,

(02:51):
and a lot of people are specting. They're like, Okay, well,
did they hit this team up or hit this team up?
Maybe they did, Maybe they did a due diligence, and
no one's ready to move on guys, because we're not
quite at the trade deadline yet. I don't know, but
if this was the move, you might as well just
stuck with a younger player and Jake Browning, because Joe
Flack was probably gonna be hurt in two weeks and
you're gonna be right back to where he started. Anyways,

(03:12):
it was one of the most ridiculous, unilateral moves I've
ever seen in my life. It does not give me
a fantasy boost when it comes to Jamar Chase t Higgins,
at least not in my book.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
Do we all remember that, we well remember that Flacco
also threw eight interceptions in that late season running Cleveland
two years ago, that everybody is still kind of living
off of right now, like his reputation is still living
off that. I feel like right now, and listen, I
had higher hopes for him coming into this season than
what he's hit. And I would love as a guy

(03:44):
who has Chase and has Higgins and has Chase Brown
in other leagues, I would love for him to actually
be a boost in the arm for this offense. How
much fun would Jameis Winston have looked right now in
that jersey as opposed to Joe.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Well, First of all, not only Jim changed with catapult
back up to being the wide receiver one with Jamis Winston,
but t Higgins. I probably immediately put him in my
top twelve, right, I mean, that's the difference that we're
talking about. If he made that move, maybe that move
wasn't available. I don't know. It's Cincinnati Bengals. They do
a lot of dumb things, so I'm not even sure
they actually checked. We'll probably never know, all right, So

(04:19):
we're about to get into the star sick questions. I
will lead off with Adam. You and I split our
showdowns last week when it was just doing me on
on air and Chase was off gallivanting. But it was
funny to me what you said in the chat because
the real answer was you shouldn't have started anybody we're
talking about at the end of the day, which was

(04:41):
one hundred percent true. So the recap that because we
usually get some up we usually get some showdowns here
and start sick questions. It was Albu Kamara versus what
He Marks Album, Kamara won in very ugly fashion. And
then it was Zach Sharponat Versu kennth Walker Zach sharpenay
one because well, I said he fall in the end
zone kind of Walker would and that's basically what it

(05:02):
boiled down to. That's that's that's all she wrote. So
one on one, one on one, I'm still three and two,
so I'll take it. Not to shoot my own horn, guys,
but this is actually a good credibility for the show.
If you were wondering how accurate our analysis is, hey,
I was in the top ten of Fantasy pros Expert

(05:22):
accuracy rankings this past week. I'mreibility to the show, not
tuning my own horn, just adding credibility to the show.
All right, So let's get into these star sick questions here.
The first one right off the rip is interesting because
I don't know how you decide between those two, but
I do think a lot of teams have these two quarterbacks,
even in single quarterback leagues. So the first question is

(05:46):
need help deciding between Drake May or Matthew Stafford in
Week six Chase? Where do you fall on this?

Speaker 5 (05:57):
I mean it's close. Obviously, they're like QB six and
seven on the season in points there, it's really close
in terms of the matchups. I mean, you're talking Baltimore
that that Stafford gets the face is given up the
second most points to opposing quarterbacks, and New Orleans that
May gets the run up against here is given up
the seventh most. You know, I think when I look

(06:21):
at what I expect from these games, I'm gonna lean slightly,
ever so slightly toward Drake May. I like his rushing ability.
He hasn't necessarily unleashed it yet, but I like what
he can do with the run. I think that you
know in a game that that's going to be you
know that they should be able to win this game.
I don't. I don't think anybody has any problem with

(06:43):
that or with that statement, but I think that it's
possible he gets free a little bit here and actually
gets to use his arms or his legs and we
know what his arm can do. I think that that
team is on the upswing, so I will lean ever
so slightly toward drinking right now.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Okay, Adam, are you in agreement or no?

Speaker 5 (07:00):
Yeah, I am.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
I'll keep it short and sweet.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
I just think that realistically, Uh, if the Rams get
out to a heavy lead, I think Stafford doesn't throw
that much. I don't think that Drake May takes the
foot off the pedal, and that I think bows down
to the difference. Also, like the Ravens run defense is
like an nai A team right now, so they don't
need to throw if they don't want to.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Every Rams throw was purely optional.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
So I just don't know.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
I think the floor is a lot better with Drake
May this week.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Perfectly said I almost feel like you got into my
notes and read them were for word, because that was
literally the tie breaker for me too. So like for me,
I have Drake May coming in here as quarterback seven
on the week, I have Matthew Stafford a quarterback nine. Uh. Yeah,
the matchups beautiful with the Ravens, but like you said,
Kyro Williams to have a great game, they decide in
the second half, they just need to run it out

(07:50):
and don't have to do anything else. That's very plausible
where I guess the Saints. The Saints have been feisty
enough where I think they'll be able to stay in
it with New England. And to your point, like Drake
May's have to be a little more involved Chase, you
mentioned how he hasn't really opened it up on the
rushing yet, but he's still one of the more mobile quarterbacks.
And you're going up against the team the Saints that
are allowing the seventh most rushing yards to the quarterback.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
They just let Jackson Dart run for fifty five yards
on him last week on seven carrot. It's a bad
hand Drake May can do that.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, yeah, with a bad hamstring on top of it.
I think Drake May here just a little bit of
a staving florid. To Adam's point, I'm with you on that,
all right. So let's move to our next question of
the week. And this player is gonna come up twice actually,
so Judkins or Travis etn interesting. All those guys have

(08:37):
picked up Judgkins late are now trying to figure out
how alway squeeze this guy in my lineup when I
have a bunch of other good options, So Adams go
to you first. Which way would you lean for Week six?

Speaker 4 (08:46):
It is ever so slightly Judkins, But I literally have
them back to back. They're both in like my high
high RB two tier, so I feel starting either of them.
If I had to choose, I'm taking Judkins. But Judkins
has a really nice matchup this week.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah, no, he really does chase you in agreeing with
that or now.

Speaker 5 (09:11):
I'm I'm kind of going the other way. I'm ever
so slightly, but it is slight. I am ever so
slightly leading leaning towards Travis Atien. When I think about
how I see this game playing out, I think that
that's a competitive game that stays competitive all the way through.
I think they're gonna need atn He's been one of
their top, you know, weapons on their offense. He's been
so consistent and yeah, I mean he's facing Seattle, but

(09:35):
he's at home in Seattle. You can you can move
the ball on them there. They haven't been a stone wall. Uh.
The Cleveland matchup with Pittsburgh starting their rookie quarterback again,
I'm just I'm not as confident that that game stays
as competitive as long and so given the entire you know,

(09:57):
offensive environment, I should say I'm leaning over so slightly
Etn this week because I think that he stays that game,
stays competitive and they need him all.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Right, So I'll be the tie breaker. I know we
all have him ranked too close together to actually have
a show down here, so I'm not gonna bother with that.
I'll just go with a tiebreaker for the question. I
am slightly un Juggins, so he's my RB ten on
the week. Travis Etn is my RB thirteen. The difference
comes down to the matchup. So they're both close. But
while Seattle's allowing a literal half a point more per

(10:30):
game to the running back and fantasy points, it's because
of the receiving aspect. If you're a ball catching running back,
you're putting up points in Seattle. If you're not, you're not.
Like That's kind of what it's boiling down to, and
Travis Etn is not involved enough on a consistent basis
in the passing game of the Jacksonville Jaguars. That's kind
of the issue here. So Seattle, they're only allowing three

(10:52):
point three rushing yards per play right now. That is
the second least in the entire NFL, and we kind
of just watch ETN get bowed up by a decent
run defense with the Kansas City Chiefs too. The Steelers,
on the other hand, while they're about the scene as
far as seattle and fantasy points allowed to the running
back position, they're more in the middle of the pack.

(11:13):
They're allowing four point two rushing yards per play, so
almost a full yard more. And you're talking about a
running back who needs that efficiency on the ground to
do what he does. Juggins is the engine of that
offense right now. Everything they do is based on him
being able to run that ball effectively. I think he'll
be able to do so against Pittsburgh this week. That's
why I give him the slight nod into this matchup.

(11:36):
All Right, Juggins is gonna come up in another question, guys,
So it's Brian Thomas Junior who finally showed life on
Monday Night Football, or quinch On Judkins in the flex
chase what he got.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
It might sound funny give him my answer to the
last question, but I'm gonna lean Judkins on this one
because I he showed life, but I want to see
more consistency out of that pass game right now, and
I just think that, Yeah, Judkins' floor is so high,
and you know you, I could have said this in
his favor for the last question, but with that rookie quarterback,

(12:10):
there's no reason that they shouldn't lean on what has
looked like their best offensive weapon as well. So in
this one, even though it's the same offense, different position,
I'm going to lean Judkins over BTJ on that one.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Okay, Adam an agreement, Yeah, I'm in agreement.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
Brian Thomas had a great game, Like from a football perspective,
he was awesome from a fantasy perspective, it still didn't
amount to all that much, and I just need to
see it actually happen for him. I also think that
the problem there has been Trevor Lawrence has been really inconsistent.
More than like outright bad. He's made good throwers all season,
it's been that there's also a lot of bad mix in.
He showed up really well for Kansas City. Don't know

(12:46):
that that's like it's going to be consistent the rest
of the way out just because he had the one
great game.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, no, that's completely that's completely fair. But right now
you're looking for any silver lining you can get if
you're a Brian Thomas owner. So that's why he kind
of look at that game in a positive line.

Speaker 5 (12:59):
There was up. That game was why you That game
was why you should not have given up on him yet.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah. Yeah, it's why he was a by low option
for us when we talked about him in previous weeks anyway,
So it is Juggets for me as far as this
question goes. The analysis is real simple. A lowin RB one,
which is what I have Juggins ranked, is always going
to be more valuable than a wide receiver two tier player,

(13:25):
and that's ultimately Brian Thomas Jr. Is as of this moment,
and that's actually trending up. So I have Brian Thomas
at wide receiver eighteen right now. I had him buried
as a wide receiver three tier type player the past
couple of weeks, and that's been pretty close to what
you've been getting. The only reason I even have him
in my top twenty, because I probably still wouldn't even

(13:46):
after the Chiefs game, is because Seattle secondary is really
banged up right now, and we kind of saw that
come to play this past Sunday. Right, So Brian Thomas,
your cound have a really favorable matchup. First of all,
three K one even if he plays is garbage, but
if he really doesn't play, their backup is super garbage.
We still don't know if Devon Witherspoon's going to be
able to come back. He's been kind of in and

(14:07):
out of the line of this entire season. So if
you got a three que no Devon Witherspoon, there's no
reason Brian Thomas Junior, after a coming off of a
positive performance shouldn't be able to take the advantage of
this situation to be able to get back on track.
Seattle looks like a tougher defense against wide receivers than

(14:27):
what they actually are. A lot of is that the
teams that they've played are more run centric, or it's
when they had their corners healthy, like not on one of
those things are true in this situation, and then we
saw with Tampa Bay what happens when not on one
of those things are true. You get lit up. So
this is a decent match with Brian Thomas Junior, But yes,
it would be quinch On Jukins for me. All right, Pile,

(14:48):
we've got a trade question, tis the season? Should I
trade Breise Hall An Xavier Worthy for James Cook? What
do you think, Adam?

Speaker 4 (15:00):
I think it just comes down to either A do
you have or B can you easily acquire, like reasonably
expect to acquire a top thirty or so. And I
say top thirty is in wide receiver one, wide receiver two,
or at least like a high tier upside wide receiver
three at minimum, So like at least like a Keenan
Allen type of guy that you are a QJ or

(15:20):
someone you're excited about who maybe you didn't have a
lot of anticipation. These are guys that I think, realistically
you could have had in your bench that you've now
elevated to a starter. You have one of those guys,
I'm saying, go for it, but I do I wouldn't
want to lose the starting spot at wide receiver if
you don't have someone good that you can kind of
fill that with, because I do think Xavier Worthy is

(15:41):
getting really valuable opportunities. I know, fantasy wise, doesn't work
out for him this past week, but I think that
he's got a bright season ahead of him, So I
wouldn't want to lose out on a quality wide receiver
without having a good option otherwise.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
I think that's fair. Chase, where are you falling this?

Speaker 5 (15:57):
Uh? Yeah, yeah, I said the same thing. When I
kind of looked at this, I said, I really want
to see what this dude's receiver corps looks like. My
instinct is to say no, I really wouldn't. No, it's
it's an upgrade. It's an upgrade overhaul to Cook fantasy wise,
but not as big a one as I think some
people might think it is. I mean it's it's three

(16:18):
points a week even in half PPR. That's nice. But
you've got to look at like we just said, what's
the fallout on the rest of your roster? Because you're
giving up two startable caliber players to basically improve your
run Your running back one Priest Hall. In the games
where Justin Fields has been healthy, he's averaging fourteen point

(16:39):
nine PPR points in the games where Fields is healthy,
and that would have him at running back eleven on
the season in points per game basis. So when Fields
is healthy and isn't missing, Hall is a running back one.
Cook is a mid level running back, one with high
upside in that offense. Hall has a great running back
schedule the rest of the season, so you're you're bailing

(17:00):
on that early. And Worthy is a boom er bust
wide receiver two, but we really don't even know what
he looks like yet, what that offense looks like. Yet
with him and Rice on the field together really hammering
away on it, I really am curious about what that's
going to end up looking like. I don't know that Worthy,
I don't know that he still isn't boom or bust,

(17:22):
but I really want to see what that looks like.
So my instinct, Tiar is to kind of pull back
and say, don't jump on that unless you can afford
the hit in your flex position or in your wide
receiver two position, because you're giving up two starters for one.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
I think I'm a little more aggressible this than you
guys are. So I don't disagree with what you guys
are saying as far as like you need to have
some options at wide receiver and we don't have that
in this question. Sure, but I'm just gonna look at
this as in a vacuum face value this trait, I
would pull the fricking trigger without well blinking. The only
thing that might give me a slight hesitation was something

(17:59):
you mentioned, Chane, the schedule part, and not necessarily because
Breese Hall's good schedule, because I don't think.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
That James Cook playoff ones run.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
James Cook playoff is what's rough. So here's where they
play in the playoffs. The Patriots who just held him
in check, the Cleveland Browns, and then the Philadelphia Eagles. Now,
I think James Cook is a good enough player in
that offense to be able to overcome that. So it
doesn't super scare me or anything like that. That's the
only thing that would even give me a second's hesitation
on this deal. Justin Fields doesn't stay on the field, Chase,

(18:30):
That's that's part of his problem. So with Breese Hall
right now, he's a running back twenty five in a
points per game. James Cook's running back five. Xavier Worthy
to me without Rashie Rice is a low end wide
receiver two who's a little bit boom or bust. I
don't know what he is with Washiye Rice. The last
time we saw them together, Xavier Worthy got kind of

(18:52):
delegated to what the Hollywood Brown role is. Now now
he's a better player than that. And I'm not saying
he's gonna totally go away, but I do think the
president of rash sheet is actually a negative for Xavier
Worthies consistency week the week, and therefore, from that standpoint,
I'm pulling the trigger on this deal. Give me the
RB one. I'll figure out wide receiver on the waiver
wire or whatever I have later on. But give me

(19:14):
the big upgrade with James Cook, who is right up
there with Jonathan Taylor and Bijon Robinson and Christian McCaffrey
and Jamier Gibbs, right up there with the top guys,
and those are the guys who are going to win
you leagues this season. So I think I'm a little
more aggressive than you guys are on that front. See
how it plays out, all right, last big question that

(19:35):
we have. I love this question. Couldn't wait for this one.
Am I dumb to want to drop TJ Hockinson for
Mason Taylor? What do you think, Chase?

Speaker 5 (19:47):
No, I don't think it's dumb at all. I think
that Taylor is on his upsling. He looks like he
is maybe ascendant in that offense as opposed to Hawkinson,
who is on the backside of his career in terms
of is usefulness. But I still think it's not a
giant upgrade. You're still playing tight end roulette. I don't
think that either one of these guys is going to
be that like every week, set it, forget it answer

(20:10):
at tight end. Unfortunately, even though I do think Taylor's
getting better, Hocketson is seeing four to five targets a
game and this year consistent, and he's hitting at one
point three points per target on his career. This year
he's hitting at one point two eight. He's almost right
at his career average for points per target so far. Taylor,
like I said, he's a sentient right now, and he's

(20:31):
gotten better a lot better in the last few weeks.
But he's only hitting at just over one point per target. Here.
He's got an eighteen point nine percent target shop. But
you gotta remember he had twelve targets last week. Before that,
he was only seeing three or four targets every game too.
That twelve targets a week last week really jumped him
up in those rankings. He has seen the field more lately.

(20:52):
I said in the preseason I liked him as a
tight end sleeper. I liked what I thought he could
do with Justin Fields's quarterback or with Tarad Taylor if
it comes down to it. But you're not dumb for
wanting to do that. If you want to take a
chance on the guy who you think is on the
way up as opposed to the boring old guy that
you know, go for it. But I don't think either
one of them. As they said it and forget an

(21:12):
option the rest of the year. I still think you're
playing tight end roulette.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
I think Mason Taylor can be the set it and
forget it. He's already past Priest Hall for second targets.
On the Jets, Josh Reynolds is their wide receiver too.

Speaker 5 (21:31):
I love him as their potential number two target. I
said that all often too. I just we're still not
excited about this.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
On the opposite side, and I agree with that, and
that is like the okay second wide receiver on a
bad passing offense.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Problem is.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
JJ McCarthy's career high and pass attempts in the game
is twenty one. They are twenty fifth in past attempts
in the NFL. No granted they had the bye week,
but twenty fifth and pass attempts the NFL, that is
with Carson Wentz, their backup throwing forty.

Speaker 5 (22:02):
Something chucking it.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Yeah, so's he's.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
The one that's throwing off the average. They're not throwing
the ball at JJ McCarthy. And I would be terrified
of starting Hawkinson with JJ McCarthy when, if, and when
Jji McCarthy comes back.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Would be terrified.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, Adam, you and I see this the exact same
way on both front. So one, I do think Taylor
might be a set and forget at the rest of
the season. So last two games, it wasn't just last week.
Last two games, he's enjoyed a twenty five and a
twenty six percent target share. He is the number two.
And yes, it's a bad passing offense. However, it's such

(22:36):
a bad passing offense and the way that it works
for fantasy because here's what happens. They suck so bad
the first three quarters that they have to play super
up tempo and do a ton of volume in the
fourth quarter. And when you're Garrett Wilson's not there to
force feed him in the ball, Mason Taylor's there to
force feed him the ball. I got Mason Taylor's my
tight end ten for this week against Denver because I

(22:57):
think Garrison Garret Wilson's gonna have a hell of a
time against Patrick ten this week. I think Mayontana maybe
not good for a tonne of volume hanging into this matchup,
so I do think he's a sending from that standpoint.
The other thing is TJ. Howkinson kind of to Adam's point,
but the first five weeks so time with JJ, time
with Carson Wentz, He's only underperforming his expected fantasy points

(23:21):
by two point one. His expected fantasy points is tight
end twenty one. His points per game is tight end
twenty two. I don't see where the upside swing for
Hawkinson's coming from. Unless there's just a philosophical change out
of Kevin O'Connell right now, with other Carson Wentz or
JJ McCarthy, there might not be any more upside. That's

(23:41):
the problem. Mason Taylor has the third best schedule rest
of way for tight ends. TJ. Hockinson has the twenty seventh.
So not only do I not see the volume coming
the upswing t J. Hockinson, but the matchups are not
going to be there either. The matchups will be there
for Mason Taylor. I do think he's a sending forget
at the rest of the year. So not only do
I think whoever this person is is not dumb for

(24:03):
wanting to do this, I think it's a move they
absolutely need to be making because Hockinson doesn't need to
be owned in twelve man leagues at the tightened position
right now, just flat out does it. So that's where
I fall in on that. All right, with that, it's
time for a segment we finally get to reintroduce into
the twenty twenty five season. Hot so Hot.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
Yes, yes, so my bread and butter in fantasy. I'm
so excited to talk a dynasty on here again. I've
been missing doing it. Just a little bit of quick,
quick housekeeping, so dynasty temperature check.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
I think this.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Will be valuable for your redraft leagues because we're going
to talk about some guys who are underperforming overperforming and
what we think of them both long term, which maybe
doesn't important to you, but rest of season as well,
because we're trying to win dynasty championships too this season,
so we're we're talking about they're doing the rest of
this season as well as a part of this and

(25:03):
then just the other thing a lot of shows will
do by sell hold like that whole thing where we
are really trying to be different here is that it's
really important what these values are because depending on your league,
how your league's market is, specifically, any player can be
a buyseller hold like regardless of what it is in

(25:24):
my league, or chase his league or whichever.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
Like if the.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
Guy with Alvin Kamara will only give him up for
two firsts, then guess what, he's probably a sell or
someone you're not buying, versus if it's a third in
a different league, then obviously a buye So there's my
asterisks about this segment. The story of this week's will
be some of these underperformers, some of these guys who
we expected to be stars and maybe haven't met. And

(25:49):
the first one is a J. Brown for the Eagles.
He is so far, I believe in the season as
a whole, but definitely so far. In October is the
most traded player in Dynasty. And this is sourced from
a combination of sleeper Yahoo and ESPN, so can pretty

(26:10):
safely say the most traded player in Dynasty, not just
our viewers, not just whatever, Like good sample, most traded player,
drafted fairly high if you were in a startup, certainly
in your redrafts as well. And he is a half
point which is what this show runs on. Seven points
per game. That is fifty third amongst wide receivers. Has

(26:32):
been a disappointment, to say the absolute least. And he's
not happy about it either. I mean, we can talk
about that, but there's some example trades for you guys,
and I want you guys to let me know, you know,
what's this value, Like what trades do you think are
the most interesting in which types of teams, Like if
you were in Dynasty, you know, maybe a rebuild you'd
buy him, but maybe in a contender you wouldn't you know,

(26:53):
types of things like that.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
So some of these example traits Kiren or A G.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
Brown and Kyroen Williams four brock Bowers, AJ Brown four,
TAJ Spears and Sam Darnold or AJ Brown for Troy
Franklin and the twenty six seconds so actually a lot
cheaper than he was in the summer. I can tell
you that.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
That is brutal real quick. For seget like, forget what
trade I would prefer. So one thing I always think
is really really funny when the most traded player in
fantasy is probably gonna get traded in real life. Okay,
always a little bit interesting because I could represent it
could represent a lot of things like wide very, it

(27:37):
could represent super upside, or you could just get completely screwed.
It's hard to imagine he gets more screwed than what
he is right now if that were to happen. I
do think ultimately the Eagles were to trade him, it
would not be until the offseason. But just think about
the names you just said, like him and Kyrin for Bowers. Okay, five, yeah,
sure makes sense? Tracks sure, whatever, Kaji Spears and Sam Arnold,

(28:00):
Troy Franklin and a second rounder for this upcoming season
for a Brown still in his prime? Like, what are
we talking about? These are deals being done? I can
maybe I can maybe see Bowers only because it's hard
if you're not a position to draft a tight end
in Dynasty, it's hard to get your hands on one.
So I can kind of understand that to some degree,

(28:22):
hold them. He's he's a Brown. He's not gonna be
this bad for Taji Spears. What are we talking about?

Speaker 5 (28:30):
Yeah, yeah, he's he's averaged a wide receiver ten finish
basically with with Philadelphia since he's been there the last
three years. This the problem is is that this this
kind of trade, these kinds of trades that we're talking
about right now for A J. Brown, are applying that
redraft mentality to the dynasty realm. He's twenty eight years old, dude,
Like you said, he's still in his prime. He's still

(28:52):
flipping good. This this offense this year is so screwed
up under under patrol, and they just they don't know
what the hell they want to do yet. In the
last three years, they've been a top twelve team. They've
been a top ten team for two of those years.
In terms of yards per attempt. This year they're averaging

(29:12):
six point four yards per attempt. That's a full yard
and a half less than what they were last year.
Last year they were seventh of the league in that
stat This year they're twenty fourth. They're just not throwing
the ball downfield, which is what she would like to
see out of AJ Brown, because AJ Brown is only
averaging five point four yards of target right now. He
averages nine to nine on his career. Last year he
was at eleven point one. They're just not throwing the

(29:32):
ball downfield at all. And I know when when we
were watching the game this Sunday, even the announcers were like, oh,
squeaky wheel gets the grease, ha ha ha. Look they're
funneling the ball a lot of flipping good at didim
He's still ended up with the same thing he's outed
up with all season. Eight targets and a handful of
catches and a handful of yards. None of the stuff
was downfield at all. He's averaging half a fewer target

(29:56):
half a target fewer per game than he has in
his career. So they're not throwing the ball as much
not thrown it downfield to him, which is what you
want to do with freaking aj Brown. I'm blaming that offense.
You know, they're down over two points a game from
what they scored last year. Their defense is allowing four
points more per game. So these games are more competitive,
and you would think every single one o the game

(30:16):
has been a one score game, every single all their
wins under loss have all been a one score game.
You'd think in a competitive atmosphere, you'd want to use
your best offensive, you know, past receiving weapon they've got
Saquon Barkley, and we.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Warned you guys about this in the offseason.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
It's that's right, guys.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
In the off season, because when Nick Sirianni gets to
pick his guy as the offensive coordinator, this is what happens.
We saw it two years ago when Shane Styken left
and they had it was his name, Brian Johnson. We
had Brian Johnson come in and the passing offense was
broken and A. J. Brown was pissed and what happened

(30:58):
the whole thing? Employe No remember they went ten to
know that year. So everybody wants to talking about, like
the Eagles are winning right now, why should they be complaining?

Speaker 3 (31:06):
They win.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Tend to know that. And they completely imploded to the
point where they barely even made the postseason and got
trounced by the Tampa Bay Bucks, who are not the
Tampa Bay Bucks that they are today. So now you
bring in Kevin Patulo, that passing offense is broken. He's
not running well on top of it. I think that's
what's driving people crazy. The most part, say, going, Barkley's

(31:28):
averaging three yards of carrot right, like you're not even
running the ball well. That's just what you're sticking with
the game plan. They are just more physical and more
talented than a lot of the teams that they're playing
for reason to winning games that can't win out over
the course of the season. Eventually, coaching needs to help
these guys. I don't know that it does, because I
don't think Kevin Patilla has a creative bone in his body.

(31:51):
You don't even have to be that creative with the
AJ Brown and Jailen Hurts Eagles. You know Skinneman wants
to the outside. It's not complicated. So yeah, I don't
know this gets turned around this season. To be honest
with you, redraft trade.

Speaker 5 (32:04):
Them all day long. But they're just dynasty about what
the hell you're doing.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Whether he stays in Philly and they get a new
offensive coordinator, he moves on. Either way, it's gonna better
than what you got.

Speaker 5 (32:13):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
So, so was it safe to say that if you
were rebuilding a dynasty you would consider buying.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
Him, Jump on it. If somebody wants to give it
to him for J Spears and a handful.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Of pick You want to give me a J Brown?
All about it? Yeah? All right?

Speaker 5 (32:28):
All right?

Speaker 4 (32:29):
So definitely some strong opinions on a buying a J.
Brown for some of the values that we've seen in
some of these real life trades, especially if you're rebuilding,
maybe not so much if you're looking to win some
games this season. Speaking about guys who have been disappointing,
Chase Brown for the Bengals. We've talked about the Bengals

(32:50):
already today and that putrid offensive line. He is the
most traded running back and the third most traded player overall.
He's at eight point one point per game. That's thirty
eighth overall. Has the new quarterback, so maybe that'll help out.
Some example trades which are like all over the place.
So Chase Brown for a twenty six and a twenty

(33:13):
seven second, so two seconds straight up for twenty six first,
which I actually saw straight up for a twenty six
first multiple times, which is crazy to me, just based
on you know, how he's been so far. And by
the way, so the trade numbers are over the last month,
like how often they've been traded. However, the trades that
I'm looking at are specifically in the last week. I'm

(33:35):
only worried about what's happening right now, so this isn't
before the season, someone traded the first for Chase Brown.
These are this is a trade that's happening. I've seen
multiple times in the last week, a real trades. All right,
So next one Chase Brown and a twenty twenty eight
first rounder for Roma Dunze, who is a wide receiver

(33:56):
one so far this season. And then on the other
end of it, I've seen four Matthew Golden straight up
and then one that I thought was really really fascinating.
Four CMCs straight up and RB one. So you're in dynasty.
What are you doing with Chase Brown?

Speaker 2 (34:14):
I'm training him if I can get these packages. Yeah,
it's not even hesitation. So here's the thing you guys
gotta remember about Chase Brown. I love the player and
his his schedules really nice for running backs to the
rest of the way this season. But we don't at
least I don't. I don't think don't get any better.
Joe Flacco doesn't help this thing out. This whole thing
looks broken. I don't think Joe Burrow comes back at
all this year. They're not going to be in a

(34:34):
position to make the playoffs for him to want to
come back. Chase Brown was a day three pick. Yes,
he hasn't been that great, Like he worked off of
all volume a season ago, essentially, and he has been
very efficient this year. The Bengals could choose to easily
move off this guy completely. I do see him. He's older,

(34:58):
but because he can catch the ball, he's still going
to age relatively well for fantasy purposes. Twenty twenty eight
First in Roma Dunza. Yes, please, even for Matt Matthew Golden.
I would consider as well first rounder straight up. Chase
Brown's not even going to be valued as a first
rounder by the time the season's over. It keeps going

(35:18):
the way that it is, like yes to all these.

Speaker 5 (35:22):
Yeah, yep, I mean that's my notes. I have almost
exactly what you said there. I said Brown isn't anything special.
Oh and by the way, this team has a terrible
o line history, not just like this year, like they're
terrible all the time. They're never going to figure it out.
It's going to be a long time before we see
a decent offensive line in Cincinnati there. But to me, though,

(35:42):
these trades are a lot closer to being right on
for what I would expect in terms of name values
and dynasty values. Twenty five year old running back who
is theoretically in his prime, but we know that the
cliff comes fast at that position. He's a Day three pick,
like you said, So there's not a whole lot special there.
They don't have a need to. It's why. It's why
I wasn't big on him last year when they signed

(36:04):
Zach Moss and had him, because I just I was like,
if they thought he was the long term answer, they
probably wouldn't have brought a guy in like Moss who
had been a full time guy the year before. So
I would take almost all of these, I think, and
I would. I would jump on them because I'm just
I don't have to be married to Chase Brown. I
don't feel like you're losing out on anything special. And
if you can get something back that's going to help

(36:25):
you win, either now or in the future, be it
CMC or be at a draft pick. If that's the
position you're in, jump on that because you're not losing
anything special.

Speaker 4 (36:33):
Then does it matter to you what your your team
is looking like now? No, he's not helping you this
year right under you're training him regardless that one. I
think we're all on the same page. But do you
have a rebuild a young running back hip him out regardless.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
No, yeah, exactly, because here's the problem. Even if you
are in a rebuild and think, okay, well I can
get an RB one, maybe he returns to that form
next year, like we kind of laid out for you.
So guarantee that's the case. You are running backs who
are Day three picks, who have one year pops get
replaced all the time in the NFL, all the time.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Yeah, and the Bengals will be in the situation to
be able to do that. So no, he's no value
to is a rebuild, he's not value to who's a contender.

Speaker 5 (37:13):
If someone wants to pop you a first round pick
in some way, shape or form, or even to a
second especially if it's gonna be a high slight, yeah
you jump on that because now you've got the opportunity
to go out and get a guy who we think
can be and should be a number one type guy
all the way. Peace Brown, you're out of here.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
One last guy who will get through really really quickly,
and a guy who I think is going to be
a really really interesting for us to talk about, and
that is Lad McConkie, who is so we've got the
entire top three most rated players. It's the first day
of this segment, first time we've done this segment this season,
so I thought we started off with a bang. Three
of the most disappointing players in this fantasy season so far,
and the top three most traded players in Dynasty this

(37:52):
season so far. So Ladd McConkie half point PPR seven
point six, so that's a little bit higher than Age Brown.
That's up to forty eighth UH in points per game.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Some example trades.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
For lad McConkie, really fascinating range for him, because some
of these I think are good and some of them
are bad personally. Uh, just straight up for Gebo Samuel
h for a twenty twenty six and twenty twenty eight
first uh, lad McConkie, and a twenty twenty six first
for Romadonze, straight up for Krosskey Merit, Bill Crosskey Merrit,

(38:29):
and Lad McConkie for Brian Thomas Junior in a twenty
twenty six second. That's a wide range for lad McConkie
for ye.

Speaker 5 (38:36):
And they're all asenine freaking ridiculous. First off, I think
for the most part, they're undervaluing him except for the
BTJ trade. I say, if you, if you're getting that
BTJ trade for for Lad, trade with that guy some more,
because you can just take whatever you feel like having
off of his roster. Apparently. Well, remember what I said

(38:59):
earlier about applying read draft thought processes to dynasty deals.
There's a lot of that going on in here. This
is a bad idea, even if you're in win now mode,
even for the I mean Deebo Deebo looks pretty good
right now in terms of like what you're getting right
now in the moment. Let Keenan Allen is not going
to be on that team forever. Lad McConkie is twenty
three years old. He was literally born yesterday. He's young,

(39:23):
and we know he's good. We saw it last year,
we've seen it this year. He hasn't played terribly this year.
It's the offense and now he's he's got more competition. No,
these are flipping dumb, Keep Lad, Keep Lad.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Yeah, So kind of the chases point a little bit
there is Keenan Allen's not going to be there next year.
I think we all kind of agree this is probably
a one and done deal, even if he is he's
going to be another year older. I don't know how
effective he can continue to be as he gets like
his mid thirties. Quentin Johnson, Are they really going to
resign him? I think that's the question that needs to

(39:59):
be asked. Don't know that they will or not. Now
maybe they will because he may not be really expensive
and he's been producing well for them, But they also
did draft Trey Harris, so I don't think it's a
given because it was the same type of wide receiver
you're gonna want to have anyway. Latim McConkie is getting
wide open, guys, Like if you watch the field at all,

(40:20):
the film excuse me at all, or even if you
like go to some data sites and you see like
his separation scores, he's getting wide open. This is not
a situation where Lad McConkie is going through a sophomore
slump and he's just not playing as well he is.
He's just not getting fed the ball the same way
that he was. So so this is going to correct
itself with Lad McConkie.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
I see that.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
More so the point out that if you trade him
straight up for Deebo Samuel, your moron uh.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
By the way I have.

Speaker 5 (40:46):
What the hell is that move all about?

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Yeah, Like, that's just that's his flavor of the week.
That's impulsive, and we never we never want people to
be impulsive and fancy football.

Speaker 5 (40:55):
Let's never talk about that again.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
Now.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Now, look, if you want to give us two first
is a twenty twenty six first and a twenty twenty
eight first, and I'm a team that's still in rebuild mode,
I'd contemplate it. But I still favor lad because he's
twenty three and that's the type of player that you're
trying to draft those draft picks to begin with. But
I'd contemplate it. If Roma Dunzey is your guy, I'm
okay with that move. I am okay with that move

(41:18):
because Romo Dunzey looks like he could be a superstar.
And now he's attached to Ben Johnson for the long term.
Caleb Williams keeps playing better, he's attached to Caleb Williams
for the long term. DJ Moore and I might not
be long for that team. So Roman Dunzey actually has
even more volume potentially, so it does he's just your
guy because you're still in this drade you're still giving
up an extra first and the first.

Speaker 5 (41:38):
But the first you're giving up is two three years
out and well so that's twenty six. Oh I okay,
I saw it twenty Oh yeah, no, I'm looking one
one question up. But okay, yeah, you're right, you're right
either way, it's a good package. So but if Roman
Dunzey is your guy, I'm okay with that deal. At
BTJ and ay a second, yeah, I'm okay with that
deal too. It's like, just like anybody's gotta be a

(42:01):
very value.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
But just calm down, Just calm down. That's really my
biggest My biggest thing here is these are the.

Speaker 5 (42:07):
Same people that wanted to drop Jamar Chase because his
quarterback sucks.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
It's funny because I just caught off the show.

Speaker 5 (42:13):
I know you did, I know you talk about that.
I saw it. But though these are those same kinds
of people that you were talking about there, the overreaction,
trading with their heart, not thinking with their head, not
stepping back, taking that breath and understanding that I know
you're disappointing to lab Macakiy. I know he hasn't been
wide receiver eleven like you thought he was going to

(42:34):
be this year. He did just get in the end
zone again and had a decent game. And it's a
good passing offense. And if either one of those other
two guys goes down all of a sudden two he
shoots through the roof again. And that's just for this year.
That's not the idea of these twenty three years old.
He's going to be there for another eight seasons. Don't
be stupid people.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
All right, So I'm gonna end the segment after this
one last question quickly, damn. And if you're competing right now,
would you consider throwing some trade off offers out for
a lad McConkie like based on these values that I'm
bringing up.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
Yes, So he's a by locanate in redraft. Look, with
a Martin Hampden banged up for the next four weeks
and they weren't running well with him, this is gonna
be even a more pass first team than what they
have been to this point. So the extra volume, well,
how's it funneled? The lab McConkie might just be available
anyway over the next few weeks, and then I think
as the season progresses, you're gonna see Keenan Allen who

(43:31):
typically gets hurt at the end of the year, start
to regress, and Lamb McConkie's gonna be picking up this
last So even in redraft leagues, I'm trying to buy
low on lab McConkie right now. So yes, as a contender,
I definitely would.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
In Dynasty, all right, I think we just gave you
guys some really good Dynasty advice. I'm definitely excited about
talking more Dynasty on this show. But I'm also very
excited talking about some DFS.

Speaker 5 (44:00):
Ails. Yeah, let's get her going here on the DFS cocktail.
Welcome into the bar, everybody. Some decent lines this week,
some big lines this week. You've got the Packers or
two touchdown favorites right now over Cincinnati at home with
Joe Flacco as their shiny new toy at quarterback. Shiny
old new toy at quarterback. They bought it a goodwill.
You've got a touchdown and a seven and a half

(44:22):
point differential here for the Rams as favorites in Baltimore.
When was the last time you thought you were going
to see that kind of thing, a team in Baltimore
favored by a touchdown more, Yes, that's absolutely ridiculous. But
it's the reality we're living in right now too, with
the idea that Cooper Rush might be starting again for them.
You've got a touchdown difference in Arizona with Arizona and Indianapolis.

(44:45):
You've got five and a half points for Cleveland and Pittsburgh.
People think the Pittsburgh is gonna pound on them with
their rookie quarterback, so you've got some fun there. You've
also got some high high point totals, especially on you know,
your primetime games this week. Remember there's two Sunday night
or two Monday night games this week, plus there's that
Sunday morning early London game. So when you're setting your lineups,
when you're looking at things, when you're looking at what

(45:06):
slates you're going to play in that keep those things
in mind. We got a quirky schedule this week. But
fifty two and a half points right now the over
under for the Detroit Kansas City game. There Kansas City
favored by two and a half right now, So a
close game and a shootout, that's something we probably want
to take a look at. Real hard. Buffalo at Atlanta's
forty nine and a half for an over under. Chicago
and Washington also on Monday night forty nine and a

(45:28):
half over under, so some big point totals possibly coming
up late in the window there. So if you're down
after Sunday afternoon, don't you know, don't despair, take heart
if you've got if you got anybody playing on those
nights there. But I did mention here, I said I
wanted a piece of that Detroit Kansas City game. And
that's where we're going to look right now for the
basis of our DFS cocktail here for for our core

(45:50):
players here, we're going to go with Patrick Mahomes at
quarterback at sixty five hundred here. I'm going to take
him this week. I'm gonna pay up a little bit
for him there. He's quarterback four on the season's quarterback five.
He's quarterback four in the rankings for this week. He's
fifth in DraftKings salary this week at sixty five hundred there.
But we're talking about the guy who's quarterback two on
the season. He was quarterback two last week. It looks
like Patrick Mahomes is usable again as a fantasy asset

(46:13):
here last week, I mean three hundred and eighteen yards.
He did throw a pick, but he had a touchdown
and oh guess what he finally he ran the ball
really well again. Six rushes, sixty yards and a touchdown there.
This you know, Detroit, Detroit's tough, they can be tough there.
But this is going to be the best old line
that Detroit has faced in Kansas City. Kansas City's old
line is the best one that they've faced this week.

(46:35):
This year, they've they've allowed the sixth fewest sacks in
the game. Right now, I think one of the keys
to this game, one of the matchups I think we
all want to be watching. He's going to be Aiden
Hutchinson on the outside versus the right tackle, especially Juwan Taylor,
and how he makes that you know, matchup work if
he gets to rush off of that side there. So
take a look at that. But you know, Patrick Mahomes,

(46:56):
he's third in quarterback rush yards. He's had three games
of fifty plus yards rushing and a touchdown. I like
him to be able to do the same kind of
thing this week, especially if they try to match like
I said, Hutchinson up against that right tackle Jawan Taylor there,
I flush him out to the side. I like. I
like Patrick Mahomes on the move. I like Patrick Mahomes,
a mobile Patrick Mahomes. We'll take him at sixty five

(47:17):
hundred this week, and then we're going to play his
wide receiver, Xavier Worthy, who we talked about a little
bit earlier. I'm going to play six thousand for him.
Ranked wide receiver twelve this week. He's fifteenth in salary,
So you're getting a little bit of a discout. A
little bit of a discout there. Not a giant one there.
But in the last two weeks, which is when he's
been healthy after that crazy whoops, Sorry, I got ran

(47:39):
over by Travis Kelce in the first game. But in
the last two games, he's eighth in wide receiver targets
in the league there, and it's been mostly quiet, you know,
eighth in targets there. But Detroit has given up the
sixth most points to wide receivers, and if you take
a look at what they did last week, I think
that you can. I think you can take some deep
shots there with them. I think that you can you

(48:00):
can do some things with Xavier Worthy there. I like
the idea of him being able to get loose here
in this game and stop being quiet in terms of
you know what he does with those targets. So we're
gonna take Xavier Worthy at six k there too. We're
going to play back against him then with one of
those Detroit Lions that we're gonna take here, Jamison Williams

(48:22):
instead of aman Ros Saint Bron. I'm gonna pay down
a little bit for Jamison Williams. He's only at forty
seven hundred this week, and yeah he's only ranked wide
receiver thirty one, But I like the idea of Jamison
Williams here being able to, like I said, get deep.
If you look at what the Jaguars did last week
against the Kansas City Chiefs, look at the top three

(48:42):
guys that you know, their top for three receivers in
that game all averaged over twenty yards a hit, twenty
yards of reception. That's that's the kind of thing that
I would love to see them turn Xavier Worthy loose on.
And if you look at what they've been doing with
that pass game in Kansas City, they have been throwing
the ball more than they had in the last several years.

(49:04):
I like that thought. I like that idea, go for it,
hit Jamison Williams while everybody else is concentrated underneath on
Sam Laporta and Amanas Saint Brown. I like the idea
of some of those deep hits that were getting hit
last week all going to Jamison Williams, so we'll play him.
Plus he's cheap at forty seven hundred, so we'll be
able to fill in around him there. So then the
fourth part of this whole cocktail here, before we get

(49:26):
to the actual drink, We're gonna go with Ashton Genty.
I'm gonna pay up for him at sixty nine hundred.
He's RB eleven on the week ninth and salary, so
you're having to pay. Like I said, you're having to
pay up a little bit for him. But when I
look at that match up there with Tennessee, I expect
Las Vegas to be I mean, Las Vegas hasn't been

(49:46):
great on the season, but they're better than Tennessee. Tennessee
is not good. Kinnessee gives up a ton of points
there to the running game, as they should because everybody's
running on them because they're up on them all the time.
I'm going to go ahead and take a shot on
Ashton Genty. I know he was a little more quiet
last week. The week before that was his giant coming
out party as breakout Party. I think the truth is
somewhere in between those two in terms of a week in,

(50:06):
week out. Basically, I'm willing to pay the sixty nine
hundred Rshman genty, So we're paying up a little bit
at quarterback. We're paying good price for that wide receiver.
We're paying a good price for our top running back.
But I still think you're able to plug some guys
in around them. Okay, so real quick here, let's mix
this drink up. We're calling this drink the red Zone
this week, and it's it's basically a pink squirrel. If

(50:27):
you've heard of a pink squirrel, it's a pink squirrel
with kind of a shot of line here. Okay, so
what we're gonna do, pink squirrel. We're gonna take an
ounce and a half of heavy cream. And some people
will tell you that you should make that with with
ice cream or with milk. Use the heavy cream. It's good,
it's profy, it'll taste good for you. We're gonna go
with an ounce and a half, then two of Preme

(50:52):
Creme to Coco thereole white stuff. If you use the
white stuff. You maintain the nice little pink tone of
the drink there, which is where the name pink squirrel
comes from. So announce and a half of heavy cream
and a ounce and a half of creme de cacal.
Here's the big kickers, These next two ingredients. This is
called creme de noyo French. Yes, okay. Basically look for

(51:16):
balls brand bols like manout ball, except balls.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
This is uh.

Speaker 5 (51:22):
It's nice. You can see it's got a nice red
color there. That's what's gonna give this pink squirrel, the
pink squirrel. It's it's color that's gonna give the red zone.
It's color what we're calling it there.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (51:32):
If you can't find balls, if you can't find crem deinoile,
you can, if you want, make a real cheap imitation
of it with Almaretto. And I know everybody can find
Amaretto where they are you live in northwest Wisconsin. Sometimes
you can't find some of these fun things I talk about.
You can make it with Almaretto. Find the creme de noile.
It's the way to do it, trust me. But then

(51:53):
the last thing we're gonna do is we're gonna put
in three quarters of an ounce of lime juice, and
that's what's gonna make the difference here. That's gonna have
it a little bit of bite here. It's going to
actually kind of we're going lighter on the cream than
you normally would on a pink squirrel, but we're going
to add in that that lime juice there, and that's
going to give it a little bit of bite. So
while I shake this up, guys, you've got my thoughts
on a core kind of a core four for this week.

(52:15):
Dan especially, I'm interested to see where you're leaning this
week and what you think we can do with this
one as I shake.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
This up here, all right, well, with with your core four,
I also want to try to add Jalen Waddle into
this mix. The target funnel is real now sixty one
hundred dollars, and I want to actually add Quentin Johnson
in here too, so I know he finally came back
down the earth. But I want that Chargers Miami game,
especially with two of the top deep throwing targets on

(52:44):
those two teams, two teams are going to have to
now be pass funnels and what could be the shootout
of the week. So I'm trying to get those two
into my line up here as the other wide receivers
and flexes and not overly expensive. I don't know you
got at them.

Speaker 3 (52:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:57):
The thing I'll add is that we talked about earlier
about our You know, whether you're like Judkins or ETN,
they're the same price.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
So if you either one for me personally, I think
is a good choice. I personally would go Judkins. Obviously.

Speaker 4 (53:10):
I think that the Steelers run defense from the first
two weeks a little closer reality than the last two.
But depending in your flavor, Like I said, both the
same price. It just just take one of those guys,
and I think you're a really good spot for that
second running back spot.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
No, I will tell you that.

Speaker 5 (53:24):
I will tell you on the Judkins ETN front. Yeah,
I plugged in blind ups with both of those guys,
like yeah, on and off with this same line up
because I loved them both too, and I agree. I
completely agree with the whole idea of Quentin Johnston. Last
thing we're gonna put on this now that I've got
it shaken up and strained into a coop glass, which
is kind of fun to look at, is a dash
of nutmeg. I mean it's you want to do a

(53:46):
little bit at a time because nut meg can tends
to clump up a little bit maybe and you're in
your shaker and it'll come out in a big, giant lump.
You don't want that. But what that's gonna do is
it's gonna kind of make this almost like a little
bit of a peppery overtone to it. It's really going
to bring out the more, you know, complex flavors of this.
But there is your red zone. Here's everybody in. Good
luck to you on your dfs this week.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
Love it. One quick note Jake Tungj's value of tight
end of the week. George Cannon won't be back to
next week. He's thirty seven hundred dollars against Tampa Bay.
There might be not be a Ricky Piersol. Just want
to throw that out there as we wrap up Operation Domination.
