Speaker 3 (01:53):
We're getting ready for Week four, Chase. This is where
we're at.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
We're about to be a month to the season, and
this is this is what everyone's waiting for, right guys
like me, especially who crunch data numbers all day week.
I need four weeks of data to really make the
model do what it's supposed to do.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
We're almost at that point.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
But even in week three, I think there's some trends
that I feel comfortable that we're going to be seeing
throughout the entire season, and I think there's some things
that still need to be worked out, ironed out.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
And remember this is just the first quarter.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
There's four quarters, not just in the football game, but
four quarters and a fantasy football season. Because it's seventeen weeks,
I call it four quarters in one week of overtime.
That's essentially how this thing works. So if you're one
in three by the time week four is done, even
if you're ower and four, you are not out of it.
There are still plenty of opportunities to get better, and

(02:45):
we will try to help you along the way.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Chase, how you doing today? Man? Doing all right? Doing
all right?

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Got some new broadcast equipment here down here in the mountain, Bayley,
Jason Bars. Hopefully we don't cut out like we did
last week. I'll be here with you guys the whole time.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
So I know, I was so thirsty and didn't know
what to make myself. You just left me in the dark.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
I made it anyway and drank it anyway, and then
I had another one because I was I was thrilled
with how they're Yeah, of course it went out right
as I was starting to talk about, you know, my
portion of the of the program there.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
But not never fear. We're back this week.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
We're going to talk about exactly what we need to
here to get you guys ready for your DFS slate
for this weekend and the rest of it there to
get you guys charged up and hopefully win some some
money this weekend.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well, one thing to plug you Chase real fast is
that if you ever want more DFS content, if you
want that recipe, Chase is always going to put in
his article which comes out when.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Fridays, that'll be out on Fridays every week. The first
three weeks are already up over there in terms of that,
so you can go back and you can find our
cocktail recipe from each of the first three weeks there
and then, like I said, it'll be out Friday.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
So I'll go a.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Little bit more in depth into the guys that we
talk about today, and I'll also give you a couple
of other, you know, other suggestions for ways you can
fill in around them. So, yeah, check out the article
on Fridays every year, every week.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
All right, So with that, let's dive into it. Just
another reason to go to f s an dot com.
But we have to start sick questions of the week,
so I pulled out the ones that always are have
the most I guess popular players or or not just
popular players, but the most popular questions surrounding common players
is probably the more apt description for that. This first

(04:24):
one has a lot of players that a lot of
people are asking about, so I put it in here.
But it's it's a good one. It's it's a doozy.
It's an interesting question with CD Lamb out, should I
start George Pickens or stick with a Mecca Abuka? And
I think every single week I feel like a Mecca
Abuka has been part of our like common start sick
questions in some shape, way or form. It's it's been very,

(04:47):
very strange from from that standpoint. But chase, what do
you got here? Which which direction would you lean? You know,
no CD Lamb in there, George Pickens becomes the number
one of Mecca book of Coorsemen?

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Who and his thing? Which way do you lean on this.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Man? This is a great question for this week, especially
since there are questions on both sides of the equation
here that really make it even more difficult than it
would be in a normal week. Yeah, you mentioned Ceedee
Lamb's out, So George Pickens, he should vault to the
top of that packing order there in that pass game
in Dallas. He should see a ton of volume, but
he's facing a Packers defense that is giving up the

(05:26):
fourth fewest points to opposing wide receivers. He's not really
going to have any target competition. I don't think you
could maybe argue that when Lamb's on the field that
Pickens and Ferguson and Lamb might be canceling each other
out in certain routes, but ferg is always going to
get his I think he's been one of the top
targeted tight ends in the league this year, so I

(05:46):
think that the Pickens should just step up into that
number one role there. But again, that Packers defense has
just been so tough and has limited people time and
time again all week, even last week when they had
the disappointing loss to the Cleveland Browns. I mean, they lost,
but it wasn't necessarily because they were giving up a
ton through the air. But then on the other side
of the things, you look at Mcca a Buka and

(06:07):
he's got you.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
Know, he should see a ton of volume.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Two because Mike Evans is going to be out now,
we might be getting Chris Godwin back, which would be nice,
But even if he comes back, I think he's going
to likely be at least somewhat limited in his role,
And there are playing Philly, who's a middle of the
road team against wide receivers se me for this week,
That packer defense scares me. I don't think I'm being

(06:30):
a homer when I say that. So it's at Buka
by the slimmest of margins. I think I literally have
them differentiated by one place here in my rankings.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Well, I have them by a much greater margin than one.
I got a Buka at my wide receiver nine and
George Pickings on my wide receiver fifteen, which really leads
to this analysis. Find a way to start both of them.
I mean, if you're really that loaded where you can't, okay,
then I get the question here which one you have to?
But I have both of my top fifteens. That's me

(07:02):
telling you that I would want to play both of
these guys straight up if I could. Obviously, with a
Buka being my wide receiver nine on the week, he
would be the guy with lean to if you have
to choose between one. I mean you mentioned Chris Godwin
coming back, the guy barely practiced throughout training camp. He's
just been getting back to practice the last few weeks,
coming off that big injury, coming off a big layoff,

(07:25):
it's hard for me to believe that he plays a.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Full snap count.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Now, maybe he plays more than he would have be
out of necessity in his first game back.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
That's quite possible.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
The other thing I'm gonna be looking for in this
game is how they utilize Abuka with Chris Godwin, being
that they're both very similar type wide receivers. Who gets
to play the slot more? Who is going to get
featured more in the ze?

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Go ahead?

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Well, no, I was gonna say, I mean, your only
other Sterling Shepherd is there?

Speaker 4 (07:53):
And where to Sterling? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Where does Sterling Shepherd thrive in the slot? So I
would think that one of these guys is gonna have
to play the X, the other one will be playing
the Z, and then they'll rotate people through the slot.
In terms of which one of the three is going,
they're probably gonna have to use them all all over
the place.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
I just I don't it's.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
A conundrum this week and that Godwin coming back, I
agree with you. I don't think it takes a ton
of volume away from what a Buka is gonna see
but it does. It does put that doubt in the
minds of a BUKA owners probably where it creates this
question here.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
And that's probably the case.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
But look, Luca has been the wide receiver ten he's
been the number one wide receiver. Even Mike Evans healthy
on the field, I don't see how he's not. With
Chris Godwin just coming back from a long injury.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
I don't. I don't. I don't see how that really
really changes here.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
And I'm feeling even no matter what they do with
Chris Gottwin, I bring that up, it's just like, that's
gonna be an interesting quandary that's gonna be in my
mind on Sunday. With Mike Evans out for two to
four weeks, we'll talk about that more with doctor Brian
Scott tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
He's gonna archies. There's gonna be fine.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Ultimately, I think the more interesting question happens, okay, when
Evans comes back. Now, what does that start to look
like in that situation where even if Abuka states the
wide receiver one in that scenario, how much of his
opportunities are siphoned away from the other two being.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
On the field.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
The good news, this is a team that plays a
lot of eleven personnel, so all four will be on
the field and Baker will play point guard. He will
divvy it out, distribute it. So you your floor is
not gonna be there is flour is never gonna crash
through pretty much no matter how you break this down.
But abooka for this. I want to throw this in here.
I didn't put this question in our list because I
thought the fantasy football analysis behind it would be a

(09:41):
little bit too cupcakey. But somebody, somebody actually asked, you know,
with ceedee lamb out, should I bench George Pickens? Coming
up kind of coming up with the idea of like, well,
when Pickens was the wide receiver one for the Steelers
last year, it really wasn't very good.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
He was really just a wide receiver three.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
I think this a line of question with a line
of thinking behind that question at least was going Dak
Prescott's much better quarterback. There is a team that still
needs to be passed first. I'm going to talk about
a little more about that later on in the show. Today,
you're starting again wide receiver fifteen, You're starting George Pickens.
But I just think it's interesting you go from one
question of picktts or abuca or do I even bench

(10:24):
pickens because he can't get open if he's gonna get
number one corner attention.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
According to that overthink it's overthinking it.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yep, no, all right, So let's get to our next
question that was pretty common here what to do with
Chase Brown. This is everyone is trying to figure out
what do I do? How panicked should I be? Should
I be trying to get out for whatever I can now?
Or do I hold on and ride this wave? Chase

(10:51):
to be interested to see your conversation pieces here.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, another great question out there. If you look at
Chase Brown, and I know that we all dress after
him high enough that we were counting on him to
be at least a low end you know, a high
end number two or a low end starter. That's what
we were expecting at the worst. Right, and then the
Bengals offense have just absolutely imploded this season so far.
But if you look at Chase Brown's numbers in terms

(11:17):
of percentages and in terms of carries, the usage is
still there for him. You know, he's still playing sixty
seven over sixty seven percent of snaps. He still get
eighty four percent of the opportunity share in that backfield.
He really doesn't have any realistic competition there between p
Ryan and I don't want to hear about Taj.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Brooks, Brooks thumb or something on Sundays. Yes, I mean
there's a question if he'll even be available.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
And to make matters worse, the Cincinnati Bengals have had
problems on that offensive line seemingly since time immemorial. Here,
they've got the second worst offensive line is graded by PFF. There,
They've got rookies at both guard spots. Inside, it's no
wonder that they can't pass, run block, or pass block.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
They can't do anything right now.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
They're not a good offensive line, which hurts Chase Brown.
But because of that usage, I'm gonna say, if you
can't unload him before he plays this monster defense in Denver,
if you can't unload him before Monday, I would hold
onto him a few weeks and see if you can
get a better, you know, a better outcome from a game,
and maybe you can, you know, fish somebody in off

(12:25):
of that one there. That's that's my take on it.
I got to hold him for now unless I can
unload him for a song before Monday.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
So this is where I was coming on this on
this question, I'm telling people out there don't panic on
Ashton Genty. And if I'm telling them not to panic
on Ashton Genty, then the same should apply for Chase Brown.
Ultimately speaking, first of all, he's one spot ahead of
Ashton Genty. So if everybody's panicking on that Chase Brown,

(12:56):
you're both of you. Guys are all in the same
boat if you have those two players. If I'm not
gonna panic on one, I'm not gonna panic on the other.
Will he potentially be more matchup dependent than he would
have been with Joe Burrow. Yes, Without Joe Burrow, you
don't respect the vertical passing game nearly as much. To
your point, the offensive line is horrendous doing anything right now,

(13:19):
which makes it rough. So it is gonna come down
to matchups in order to get the production that you
were hoping to get at a Chase Brown. You mentioned
Denver's defense being a monster. It ain't for running backs
for the first three weeks, like they're tenth in the
in most points allowed to the running backs. This is
actually a plus matchup. Now, it's funny. I'm gonna talk

(13:41):
about Chase Brown a little bit later in the show,
so I'm not gonna go too in depth to it,
but here's what I am gonna say with this. He
does have the twelfth easiest schedule rank schedule right now
for running backs moving forward from Week four on guts
the Denver Broncos this week. Okay, but the other thing
I want you to focus on is the face to
see football playoffs or maybe maybe there's an outside chance

(14:03):
Joe Burrow comes back if somehow Cincinnati stays competitive. But
Weeks thirteen through seventeen they play the Ravens twice.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Guess what.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
The Ravens have allowed the most points to fantasy running
backs so far this season. Their defense might not be
nearly as good as we thought it was going to be.
They played the Bills, who are about the middle of
the pack they have, the Dolphins give up the fifth
most they have, the Cardinals get up the ninth most.
That's week thirteen through seventeen, the most pivotal point in
your season. Chase Brown, at the bare minimum is going

(14:30):
to have an RB two floor based on those matchups.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
So it's somebody I'd rather hold.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Or maybe even by low in on and I'll talk
about more about that later, but I just wanted to
hit that question now because it's funny. I'm gonna take
a little bit different turn later in the show. You'll see,
all right, let's let's get to number three here. So
they want to sit one, and this is a hell
of a group to sit. And I think a lot
of people might be facing a very similar type of dilemma.

(14:59):
Sit one running back out of Javonte Williams, Chewba Hubbard,
or Trey Benson now with the James Connor injury. So
this is gonna be a common theme I think amongst
most people. Where do you fall on this chase?

Speaker 4 (15:12):
Yeah? Wow.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Honestly, if it was any other week, I might sit
Benson just because it'll be his first start there.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
I think he's going to get a bunch of usage.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
But I think we have to give him some grace
here at the outset of his career as a starter. Now,
Seattle is pretty mid against running backs. They're right in
the middle of the pack. They're not great against running
backs there, and he may see the passing work down
a bit to a Mari de Marcato. He may at
least to start, So I think we got to give
him some grace. Don't expect gigantic numbers out of Tredy Benson,

(15:44):
but I think you're starting this week. New England likewise,
has a very middle of the road defense, like literally
middle of the road. Their ranked like fifteenth across the
board on a lot of things playing against Cuba Hubbard there,
Cuba's offensive line paid better last week. They're not as
good as they were hoping they would be, but they
played better last week. The nice thing about Chew was,
I don't think he's gonna game flow out of anything.

(16:05):
Because he stays in on the pass, he stays in
on runs, they don't necessarily remove him, you know, situationally.
So I'm starting chewba Hubbard, which means they got to
sit Yvontay Williams, which who actually has been probably the
best fantasy back of these three, but again he's facing
that stupid Packers defense gives up the twenty sixth most
points to running backs. And now you're talking about Dallas

(16:27):
having backups at center. They just lost their their number
one draft pick, Tyler Booker, at guard for the week,
so they're gonna be two interior alignment who are out.
They were already ranked in the bottom half of the
league on offensive line, they were not playing great. Their
left tackle has not played up to what they were
hoping for for him. So you combine that Packers defense
with a suspect offensive line and a game where they

(16:50):
might have to be passing early. I'm sitting Williams and
it's it's hard for me to say that, but I'm sitting.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
In Yeah, so I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
So Javonte Williams is my RB twenty seven on the
week two one hundred, my RB fifteen, and Trey Benson
my RB twenty four. So both Hubbard and Benson are
RB two's for me this week, while Javonte's more of
a flex. You laid it out perfectly. The entire interior
that offensive line is banged up with BB out book
are out like it's Those are big deals for a

(17:20):
guy who pounds it up the middle, who needs that
running start to really get going. Who are lies in
that power game in Javancee. Williams's game there, that's a
big deal. And then the Packers, well, the Packers are
fantastic against the run. They've allowed the seventh least amount
of fantasy points to the running back position and third
in rushing yards allowed per play. You can't run on them.

(17:44):
Quinn Shawn Jenkins did have a decent game this past Sunday,
but that was against light stack boxes because the Browns
were trying to throw for the most part, even even
though it was a neutral game script, they were still
trying to throw the ball. So I'm not expecting the
Cowboys have a ton of success on the ground. I
also expect, because of the way Dallas' defense has been playing,

(18:06):
that they are going to be coming back from behind,
probably pretty early in this game. And I have to
think that the Packers after a letdown against the Browns,
we'll see their a game against Dallas on Sunday night.
So I do think a lot a lot of things
kind of come to play there. With the whole Benson
of it all, I'm I'm super confident with Benson. He

(18:26):
was a complete bellcal After James Connor went out, I
remember it was early third quarter, so we got nearly
a half of football to kind of see how this
would work, and Benson out snapped Demarcato twenty one to seven.
Right now, Denmricotto is going to get some of the
passing game work. And I don't think that's out of
Trey Benson not being able to do it, Because Trade

(18:46):
Benson has been the receiving back with James Connor the
first couple of weeks. That's more out of all, right,
where do we spell him? Because you have to figure
out how to spell him.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, he's got to take a playoff once in a while.
He can't do the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, and if because he's so much better, I think
in the rest of the depth chart, you might forget
to do that every so often when you're supposed to.
So I think that's kind of what we're looking at
a little bit. So I expect Benson to be a
pretty good bell coal in this matchup, and he's got
to be an RB running back too, at the very least,
Like I don't see the difference right now between him
and James Connor. James Connor, even before the injury, did

(19:20):
not have the explosion, especially you know, all from the handoff,
like the quick twitch explosion. He didn't have what he
had last season, at least not so far through this year.
Maybe it's because his chillers are getting rad tot snap
and we just didn't know yet I don't know, but
Trey Benson has looked explosive. He looked like he has
progressed since he's been drafted and has gotten that momentum

(19:42):
that we've been looking for since he get drafted in
his quick twitchness. So I like Trey Benson a lot
here heading into this week. And Shuba Hubbard, I know
it's been quiet like because the brace young storylines of
how good or how terrible he's been, you know, on
this driver that overall, how bad he's been, that's been
the storyline. That and that and Ted McMillan looking as

(20:04):
good as he has, That's what people have paid attention to.
But Hubbard's just been mosying along, finishing average points as
a top twelve running back.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
Another good matchup.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Here against the Patriots, who are fourteenth in points allows
not a matchup that scares you in any capacity.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
So Cheua Hubbers is one of those guys.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
I'm gonna keep playing an RB two, I'm gonna keep
getting that solid production.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
I'm not benching you ever.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
So we've been talking start sit for this entire season,
and we're finally at the time of the year where
I'm willing to entertain trade questions. Okay, so here's a
trade advice question. Pooka Nakua for Devon h Chan. Who wins?
What do you think about this chase?

Speaker 1 (20:49):
I I don't understand why anybody who has Puko would
try to make this trade, even if you need a
running back here, don't trade Puko away. I mean, on
the surface, it doesn't look too bad, right, I mean,
you've got wide receiver, a wide receiver one just happens
to be the overall wide receiver one right now. You're
trading for a running back one who is actually running

(21:10):
back seven overall right now. And it's not that's not
terrible in a vacuum, but that's a three point swing
in terms of what Puka is scoring you on average
every week versus what you're getting out of a Chan.
Plus you've got the idea that now you're having to
rely on a Chan in that Dolphins offense, which has
been who the hell knows what's gonna happen with that.
If you're the guy trading for Chan, I assume that

(21:33):
you're already stacked at wide receiver if you would even
consider a trading pukoh way, But you're taking out, like
I said, nineteen point seven points. You're only plugging in
sixteen point six at running back. That's gonna have to
be at least three point two points per game, more
than whoever you had playing in your flex position, which.

Speaker 4 (21:53):
Might be the case but probably isn't.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Because you've you already had a good You already had
bad running backs and good wide receivers. It's Pooka. Don't
make that trade, Pooko owner.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah, I wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
First of all, Pookaakua is the number one wide receiver
in fantasy football, and as long as Matthew Stafford stays healthy,
which so far he has and hasn't been hit much either.
By the way, the offensive line is not great, but
they've been doing a good job making sure he gets
the ball out of his hands pretty quickly. I don't
think that's going to change to your point. So right now,

(22:26):
Pookakua thirty six and a half percent target share, that's
second in the league, forty five percent targets per route
run that's first, and nineteen point seven a half point
PPR points that is first. It's an offense that throws first,
and right now is targeting all of it's funneling all

(22:46):
of its targets to two wide receivers like this is
what you pray for when you have a lee weapons
in usage like I don't get it, and a chant look.
To his credit, he is performing well, especially relatively speaking,
with that offense. But it's in't like like you said,
it's an unstable offense. It's an unstable offense environment. We
don't know Mike mc dane was gonna even be a
head coach in it in a couple of weeks and

(23:07):
what that could mean. Uh So, there's a lot of
things that are to consider. To your point, you'd have
to be super stacked at wide receiver, super desperate at
running back. Maybe you are, but ultimately Puka wins the
trade there. All right, we have our first showdown of
the show and it comes on defense. Now, Chase real

(23:31):
quick before we get into this, because I could not
remember for the life of me, what was the showdown
between you and Adam.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
That's a good question because I'm getting old. Wasn't it
Travion Henderson.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
Versus somebody?

Speaker 1 (23:48):
I think it had something to do with Travion Henderson
and Ramandri Stevenson. Oh yes, why one? Finally but.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Finally, yes, Yeah, you finally went I'm still the only
one who's undefeated. And it's great podcasting right now, by
the way. But yeah, so down between you two last week.
Now you and I get to have a showdown on
equally exciting question. Defense. Baby, we love defense on this show.
We always find a way to talk about it. So

(24:18):
we're getting asked here, would you start the Packers defense
or the Chargers defense this week?

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Chase your answer?

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Okay, Well, this is going to sound awkward to some
people because I've spent the whole show talking up the
Green Bay defense, But honestly, I'm leaning Chargers this week.
You're talking about a team that's facing a rookie quarterback
making his starting debut on a team that's in absolute
turmoil in terms of what's going to happen with their
head coach, their front office. They just lost their ostensibly

(24:47):
their starting running back with Tyrone Tracy. All those scatabos
probably performed better, but he has a new starter at
running back. So you talk about two rookies there in
that backfield. Now, the Giants Ouil line. Speaking of terrible
offense lines Cincinnati, here's another one that has performed absolutely
horrendously okay.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
And you know the Chargers.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
I know they lost Khalil Mack last week, but this
is a team that even though their defense might be
susceptible to big plays if you look, if you look
at the first three games they've played, the scores they've
given up, the touchdowns they've given up for the most part, have.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
Been because of big plays.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
They're susceptible to that a little bit, but I don't
know if the Giants have a ton of big plays
in them. Mylik Neighbors didn't practice today.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
He's hurt, so he's gonna be okay, though.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
I think he'll be okay, but he's still there's the
question is there? And it's a rookie quarterback making his
starting debut. I'm willing to roll with the Chargers this week.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
And look, everything you just laid out as far as
the Giants offense and with the floor for that team
could absolutely be with the Chargers defense has been good,
not great, but good so far this point in the season,
one hundred percent agree with. The one thing I would
push back on is that I do think and it
was only Week three, but I do think that team,
despite his Week two performers, was already turning on Russell Wilson.

(26:12):
So I don't know this thing could get much worse
as far as the hadbysmalness of the offense. And there's
something interesting with While I'm not Jackson Dart fan, he
does fit. His skill set fits more what Brian Dable
is used to doing, using the mobility on RPO action
and attacking the five to fifteen yard portion of the field,

(26:33):
not so many deep bombs off in the perimeter and
checking the ball down when it's there. That's how Brian
Dabele has traditionally built his offenses. That's more in line
with what Jackson Dart naturally is going to look to
do anyway. So in some ways I think this could
be a better fit. And I do think with Dabell,
like you said, Dabel's job being on the line and
what they have to do here.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
They don't have to win games.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
They just have to make Dart look competent, make the
offense look like it's moving in the right.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Can look like there's a future there.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yeah, Dable's gonna do everything he can in his power
to keep Dart on track and not have him in
a position to have to take too many chances now
maybe he just takes those chances on his own. QUI
completely possible, but I'm gonna air that they're gonna err
on the side of caution in this game and kind
of take away some of those fantasy point opportunities that
may otherwise be there with the Chargers. On the Packers

(27:24):
side of this thing without ceedee Lamb, Dak Prescott is
a turnover friggin machine. We laid out the woes of
the offensive line from an injury perspective on that team.
George Pickens, he's a fine wide receiver too. He's not
a wide receiver one. I think we've seen that at
this point. He's better as a compliment. I think this

(27:47):
could get really ugly for Dallas on both sides of
the ball coming on onder this game. So I just
think the upside for the turnovers and the sacks, and
we know mik it's gonna get at least one like
we I think those fantasy point opportunities.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
Are more so gonna.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Packers are still my number one defense heading into this week.
Charges are in my top six though, by the way,
so but we'll see who plays better.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
We'll put that in the showdown for next week. Hey,
that's a challenge. I won't mind losing because that means
that my packers did well. So I mean, i'll i'll,
I'll take the l there or I'll take the w
if it comes to me. But yeah, good showdown, all right.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Yeah, it's always a lot of fun. So let's talk
about rankings. Everyone want to talk about rankings. Who are
the players that we are Our biggest difference is with
against the ECR right now, So we'll go this one one.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Two, two, three, three, Chase, give me your one. Uh.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
My player that I have the biggest gap on in
terms of ECRs, Taekwon Thornton right now. Honestly, I have
him as wide receiver thirty four, which is only a
low end wide receiver three, But I'm twenty one points
higher than the ECR on him there, and when I
look at it, I just think, you know, I know
that there's the possibility they've talked about again speaking of

(28:59):
injured guys coming back, Xavier Morthy might play and all that. Well,
even if he plays again, I think he might be
a little bit limited. Haikwon Thornton has performed very very
well in that offense, better than I think anybody ever
thought that he was going to in the NFL after
what we saw in him his first couple of years.
He's been very good there and he's in fact, he's

(29:22):
sitting right around wide receiver twenty one somewhere in there
and half point PPR.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Yeah, he's in the top twenty.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
He's he's been in a wide receiver towo. I'm branking
him as a wide receiver three. The rest of the
industry is like, forget him. I just don't see where
he ranks as the fiftieth best in that offense, even
if Worthy comes back, because I think that there's nothing
really all that exciting about what Hollywood Brown has done.
Travis Kelcey hasn't looked like necessarily Travis Kelcey all the time.

(29:50):
I still think he's got it in him to at
least hit wide receiver three. So Taekwon Thornton, that's my guy.
That's farthest off of ECR for me.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Yeah, So I don't have quite as high as you do,
but I do have him at wide receiver forty six.
He's been the big play guy. He talked about how
the Chiefs need to find a way to get more
big plays. That's been him he has a fifty three
point six percent air yard share for this team right now.
Like he doesn't lead in targets, that's mark He's Brown.
At the moment, Xavier Worthy practice in full today. We

(30:19):
fully expect him to be back. I'll talk to doctor
Brian Scott tomorrow about what our reasonable expectation for his
performance could potentially be coming off of that injury. At
this point, I have a feeling it's can be pretty good, though,
But I think Thornton still stays the big play guy
because since Hollywood Brown, since that Week one performance, he
hasn't been able to really do anything. And I think

(30:40):
Xavier' Worthy might just step in like he did last
year when he spelled Rashie Rice when he got knocked out,
and kind of fill that role. And if you have
that with Thornton going on, some of those deep shots
become a little bit more open. I'm kind of with you.
I like him a DFS. I like him to take
a shot on if you need a boost play. I
don't know that you necessarily do unless you're super injured,

(31:00):
because not by weeks yet, but I think he's in
that realm. I do have him as a low and
wide receiver for with some upside. So I'm kind of
with you there. I am hired th ECR on him too.
My number one guy is Ashton genty. You're gonna see
a theme with my next two guys, but it's it
is Ashton genty. So he's my running back twenty seven.
Heading into this week, ECR has got him at running

(31:22):
back fifteen. I get it, Like the usage is there,
that's the important part. Yes, the usage is there in total.
Here's what scares me about Gent and this is this
is not just going to be an answer for Gent
week fourth. I'm gonna kind of talk a little bit
about genty moving forward as well here and what I'm
what I'm looking at. So right now he's the running

(31:44):
back thirty four. His expected Fantasy points per game and
half point PPR, which is what we base this show
mostly off of, is twelve point three. That would be
that would be running back twenty two. Okay, so a
low end RB two not great. Right now, he's averaging
seven point seven, So you could look at that and say, okay,
well he should be getting nearly five points more game

(32:05):
than what he's getting right now. And that's the reason
why you could potentially look forward to seeing some positive regression.
And what's killed him really is the passing game. He
has the ability to catch the ball. They're not giving
hit to him. He has targets this season six because
the Mere White and Dylan Lobe, who I thought was
dead the rights after not playing anything last year, they

(32:27):
have taken the majority of snaps in two min the drill.
They have taken the majority staffs of long down and distances.
They're the ones who have all the targets. So it's
killing gents because all he really is right now is
an early down runner and he has gotten all the
carries inside the five thus far, so at least he
has that going for him. So basically this boils downs two.

(32:47):
He's got to get more involved in the receiving game.
I don't know if that happens now. He does have
a good match upgainst Chicago this week. They've allowed the
six most fantasy points to the running backs so far.
Chicago defense is not the Chicago defense of all. It's
not a very good defense, whether it's in the D
line or in the secondary whatsoever. So I kind of
say that to say this, he might be a sell

(33:09):
high if he outperforms my ranking because I just haven't
liked what I've seen the Raiders offensive line. I haven't
like the total usage of Genty not being used in
the receiving game. So that's why I still have him
as a running back three. But if he outperforms my
ranking closer to the ECR, this might be an opportunity
to sell high because here's the other problem Jens's facing.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
After this week.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
He has the seventh hardest rank schedule the rest of
the way according to PFF. So you're mixing a bad
offensive line questionable usage. He still has the name. The
second he pops off, I might try to see if
I could sell Ashton. It's kind of rough and right

(33:51):
now I can't trust him enough even against the Bears,
and again in a shootout game that might just turn
in the passes down the field anyway, in which case
he's not playing nearly is much in those situations as
a as an.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
RB two, as a mid level RB two, I don't
know what do you think? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (34:05):
No, I agree with you there, Like there, their line
has just been I mean, we keep bringing it up,
these terrible offensive lines, but the dude has has more
yards in more yards after contact than he does regular
rushing yards. He is continually getting hit in the backfield.
He is averaging getting hit in the backfield before he
even gets a chance to get the ball and run

(34:27):
with it. That's if that doesn't improve. I don't see
his rushing performance improving him, like you say right now. Unfortunately,
we were all hoping for like a Bijon Robinson Reducks, right.
We were hoping to find a guy that was going
to be used in every phase of the game because
we know he can be he has that ability. And

(34:48):
yet if that offensive line doesn't play better, you're talking
about an early down back on a team that can't
run the ball, and he's going to be in a
lot of second longs and probably has to throw anyway.
So yeah, if you're hoping against hope, maybe that he
has a pop game here against the bad run defense
in Chicago, and then yeah, it sell him off.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
It sucks.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
I know, he was probably your first round pick and
you're probably selling him for not quite pennies on the dollar,
But yeah, I mean, it's it's just such a tough
situation there because that offensive line has been so bad
in every.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
Phase, agree, and the fact he's making mistackles makes you
think that maybe this thing gets turned around, But I
don't definitely won't get turned around in the way that
you're hoping for when you drafted him in the first place.
I feel pretty confident in saying that, at least at
this point, who's your number two discrepancy?

Speaker 4 (35:38):
My number two discrepancy here is JK.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Dobbins running back for the Denver Broncos. I have him
at running back at eleven. I have him as a
low end RB one this week, I'm eleven spots over ECR. There.
They've got him at twenty two. When I look at
this game, I look at the idea that I mean,
and you talk about Denver. They're going to be at
home playing against Cincinnati. Cincinnati's defense sucks.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
Since I'm going to talk.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
About Dobbins a little bit more later, but Cincinnat's defense
is terrible.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
This is the game I expect Denver to win. They're leading.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
You know, if they're leading at home, they're gonna want
to pound the rock. Who they're gonna want to pound
the rock with. They're gonna want to pound the rock
with Dobbins. They're not pounding it with RJ.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
Harvey.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Even if they want to give RJ. Harvey some work
Denver over a touchdown favorite at home. I'll take their
running back to perform very very well this week.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
So JK. Dobbins, that's my number two.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Where do you have him ranked that?

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Again?

Speaker 2 (36:36):
I have him ranked eleventh, eleven, eleven, You have him
the top twelve. I mean, to start, it looks pretty strong.
I have him at seventeen, so I definitely haven't locked
and started. I don't quite have him that high. Let
me let me such a conversation to you for this
real quick. Should he be a cell high? Because right
now what I'm looking at is expected fantasy POINTSBERG game
is eleven point five, which in half point PPR leagues

(36:57):
means he should be more along the lines of a
high end RB. He's actually putting up fourteen point five,
so he's outperforming his expectation with his injury history knowing RJ.
Harvey might get more involved as the season wears on.
Is he is so high to you right now?

Speaker 1 (37:15):
These kinds of questions in a vacuum are hard because
it's it's always roster dependent. I mean, right now, he's
performing very well for you, and so why would you
want to get rid of that.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
I mean, you probably drafted him low enough. Because r J.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Harvey was the darling in preseason. He probably drafted him
low enough that you've got two running backs ahead of
him that you're count that you were counting on now.
Unless those two running backs are Ashton Genty and Chase Brown,
I mean you're you're probably getting okay production from them too.
And you could maybe afford to to dangle JK. Dobbins
out there and see what he'll bring you back, as

(37:45):
I would do it. Yeah, after this week he pops
against it, which I expect obviously as heaving and ranked
as a running back one. If he pops this week, yeah,
go ahead, dangle him out there, see what you can
get for him. Because you drafted him so low. Almost
anything you're getting either out of him or from him
in a trade is icing on the cake compared to

(38:07):
what she thought you were getting.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
I agree, And you know what I think consequently, Rjie
Harvey is a by Low.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
I do I think Arjie Harvey is a Bye Low.
I'm sorry. I love Dobbins.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
I hope he does great, but I don't see him
being able to stay healthy all season long.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
He just he's never been able to do it. My
number two is Chase Brown.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
So just to bring this whole conversation full circle on back,
I said I was gonna get to it again later.
I'm not going to rehash everything that we talked about.
But there is another stat that I would like to say,
and it kind of builds itself off of the reason
why I talked about asking Denty wanting to sell him.
I don't want to sell Chase Brown if you have him.
Unlike Genty, Brown is seventh and expected Fantasy points per game,

(38:51):
which tells me the overall usage is there.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
He just needs those some luckier breaks.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
He's involved in the passing game as much as we
would want him to, He's involved in the rushing game
as much as we would wanted to. He's all on
the field a crazy amount. It's just not working out
well right now. At some point is going to rebound.
I mentioned they're schedule the rest of the way. Between
the usage and the matchups coming his way, things are
going to break.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
I think better in his direction.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
So for Chase Brown this week, however, I say all
that positive about him, but this week I do have
him lower than the ECRG and I'm been running back
twenty six.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
ECR has got him at running back eighteen.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
I don't think we flipped the script just yet, at
least not to that level. And I think it's better
to adjust your expectation for Chase Brown heading into this
week in case you have another option to pivot to
that maybe he needs some more pop. So quickly give
me a number three guy.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
My number three guy here is Justin Fields. I have
Justin Fields ranked as QB fourteen if he plays. Of course,
this is contingent upon if he plays, but I would
be seven points over ECR if he does play. Here.
Look again, it's Justin Fields. We know that the guy
can run the ball.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
We know that.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Every time he's been a full time fan, full time
starter on the real field, he's been a number one
quarterback type fantasy starter. He had almost thirty points for
your Week one there against you know, Pittsburgh. He got
hurt unfortunately against Buffalo, but before he got hurt in
that game, he had run the ball five times for
forty nine yards.

Speaker 4 (40:22):
Again, so Justin Fields is a guy that you know.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Again, if he's playing, I like him as a oh
he always has that possibility for multiple rushing scores. He's
throwing to the best uh know, wide receiver that he's
had in his career with Garrett Wilson, who's playing well
this year. I like justin field this year, this week.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
Yeah, I'm with you on that one. If he plays,
he will be my top twelve by rank. He'still reflect it, ye,
because I'm still waitning for that confirmation. Okay, My number
three is Trey Tucker right now. ECR has got him
at wide receiver fifty. I got him at wide receiver
thirty seven. Before you sit there and tell me, well
there trade Tucker is just a one week wonder from

(41:02):
first of all, he's number four receiver on the year
right now, I mean for what that's worth. But more importantly,
where I get into where I don't think this is
necessarily a one week wonder situation, is that his usage
has been actually quite good. He's had ninety two percent
of the routes run for the team. He's an eighteen
point nine percent target share. He has four less targets

(41:24):
on the year than Jacoby Myers. He has the same
amount as Brock Bowers. He's very much involved in this
offense and then he has the team high of twenty
seven percent of the air yards on that team on
top of it.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
So the big players are there.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
He's as involved as Jakobe Myers, He's as involved as
Brock Bowers. This is a team that's going to be
in a lot of either negative or shootout scripts that
we've already seen so far this season. Gino Spen's a
good enough quarterback most weeks to get the ball out
there to give his guys opportunities in this match gets
the Bears one of the higher over unders on the

(41:56):
week with a forty seven and a half. And their
secondary has been under man and we'll continue to be
under man most of if not all of the season
with the injuries that they've faced right now. So Trey
Tucker to me is definitely Is he baby Boom or Bush? Sure,
but I think he's got some serious pop that you
want to consider at the very least in your fuck situation.
I might even bring him up during the DFS cocktail hour.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
All right, Hey, like we said, I got some new
equipment this week. Hopefully we don't cut out on all
of you here and leave Dan solo in it for
the last portion of the show here, but time for
the DFS Cocktail and the drink will be making this week.
We're gonna make the same drink I was gonna make
for you on air last week, the coin flip again.
That recipe is online with my week three DFS Cocktail article.

(42:44):
Check out a new cocktail recipe this Friday when that
article comes out there. But they get started, it's a
weird slate. This week is really weird. If you look
at the over underlines, if you look at the favorites lines,
there's there's a lot of games that are like in
the forty seven and a half to forty nine and
a half point range in terms of they're over under.

Speaker 4 (43:05):
But there are some big, big favorites this week.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
You've got Buffalo as a fifteen and a half point
favorite over New Orleans. You've got, according to DraftKings Sportsbook,
you've got Detroit as a ten point.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
Favorite at home.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
You've got the Chargers as a touchdown favorite on the road.
Houston Texans are over a touchdown favorite against Tennessee at home.

Speaker 4 (43:23):
So when we're looking where we want to.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
Look at here for our base spirit, for the thing
that we're going to build the cocktail around. And the
dfs lineup around. I want to look for one of
those higher point totals there, but with a small spread.
I don't want the point spread to be I don't
want I don't want there to be a big favorite
there because I want this to be a shootout.

Speaker 4 (43:43):
I want this to keep going right.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
So if I take a look at it, I'm looking
at the Colts at the Raiders or at the Rams.

Speaker 4 (43:50):
Pardon me.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Colts at Raiders has got a it's got the highest
point total on the slate at forty nine and a
half for an over under there. The Rams are favored,
but they're only favored by three and a half here
at home, and we're looking at a team in Indianapolis
who I think has outperformed everyone's expectations, probably even their own.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
But that's going to be our base.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Spirit is going to be that game here and from
that game, we are going to play Dan's favorite guy,
Daniel Jones at fifty six hundred at quarterback. Now, right, Indiana,
Jones your quarterback four on the season. He's been you know,
he's only quarterback fourteen in draftking salary this week. But

(44:33):
he's a guy that's played at the fourth highest level
of anybody in terms of fantasy in football here. Okay,
he finished quarterback four, seven and twelve in DraftKings scoring
in the first three weeks, so he has been a
starting position play. He's been a starting player at his
position every single week this year so far.

Speaker 4 (44:52):
And he's not just.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Doing it by Dnking and Duncan down and running for
short touchdowns. He's third in pass average and average yards
per attempt. He's got three rushing touchdowns. He has a
pass touchdown in every game. He's actually throwing the ball
downfield a little bit more than we expected him to,
which has been good news for Michael Pittman.

Speaker 4 (45:12):
But he's also.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Facing a Rams defense that's only seventeenth in points allowed
to the quarterback.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
They're kind of the middle of the road there.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
But last week Jalen Hurts was their quarterback one, and
Jalen Hurts was your quarterback one.

Speaker 4 (45:22):
Because he threw three scores. If you've watched the Eagles
this year, if you drafted AJ Brown this year, you
know that they have not been throwing the ball a
ton in Philadelphia, at least not to AJ Brown. If
Jalen Hurts can throw three touchdowns against this team. That
tells me that there's something to be had there in
the air. The rest of Hurts's passing numbers were not outrageous.

(45:43):
They were writing Danny Dimes's wheelhouse there. He only threw
for like two hundred and I think twenty eight yards
something like that. It wasn't an astronomical number. Jones has
been efficient, he's been he's been really accurate with his throws,
and he's been running the football. I like him at
a fifty six hundred dollars salary.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
That's barely over your average salary there when you look
at your DraftKings breakdown. So I like Danny Jones there
at fifty six hundred. So then we're gonna take his
lead wide receiver. We're gonna take Michael Pittman, who is
a wide receiver fifteen on the year in DraftKings scoring.
He's caught sixteen out of nineteen targets this year from
Daniel Jones, or one hundred ninety three yards, and he's

(46:22):
caught two of those three scores that Jones has thrown.
Pittman's only costing you fifty one hundred dollars this week.
That's below your average price in terms of you know
your draft kings breakdown there, Michael Pittman is second to
only Stefan Diggs weirdly enough among wide receivers who have
fifteen or more targets in percentage of those targets caught.

(46:45):
So that Daniel Jones is locked onto him and he's
hitting him when he goes to him, and Pittman is
catching everything that's thrown his way. Pittman's cheaper than Matthew
Golden this week for crying out loud, and Matthew Golden,
if you've been watching him paying attention, has not been
a great play for fantasy purposes. The Rams are fourteenth
in points allowed to opposing wide receivers this year, so

(47:07):
that's borderline starter type numbers anyway. So we're gonna take
these two cheaper options in Daniel Jones and Michael Pittman.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
So then every.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
Cocktail needs that sowaring agent to play off against that
base spirit and enhance it there. So this way we
our base spirit. We're going to pay up for our
sowering agent. Here. We're gonna go with Puka Nikoua across
the field from him at seventy nine hundred. Okay, we
just talked We've talked about him earlier in the show.

(47:36):
This dude leads the league in yards, leads the league
in receptions, he leads the league in oh yeah, for
our purposes, fantasy points, and he's third in part to
share for wide receivers. He's just he's blowing the light
out right now. He's playing out of his mind, and
we all kind of hope that he would with Defonte
Adams pulling that coverage away from him across the field.

(47:56):
Puca doesn't even have a receiving touchdown yet, and he's
the number umber one fantasy wide receiver. He's got a
rushing touchdown, he's credited with one rushing touchdown. We doesn't
even have a reception a touchdown reception yet, and he's
your top overall fantasy wide receiver.

Speaker 4 (48:12):
Indianapolis the Colts.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
They're tougher against wide receivers, but I mean, you're talking
about a guy who has finished as in DraftKings scoring
wide receiver three, wide receiver six, wide receiver five.

Speaker 4 (48:23):
The Colts last.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
The last two weeks, they have given up touchdowns passing
to Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin, h elik I amor.

Speaker 4 (48:32):
Last week he got he caught.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
One for the Tennessee Titans, who are not a great offense.
So we're going to play against our base spirit and
the Colts with Pooka nakol there. So our base spirit
for the cocktail this week, we're looking at.

Speaker 4 (48:48):
The coin flip. It's peanut butter whiskey. Now you go around,
find a peanut butter whisky that you like.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
Okay, Dan, you were saying earlier, you said to me
before that you hadn't found a peanut part.

Speaker 4 (49:01):
It took a while for you.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
To find, right, Yeah, it did.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
But find a peanut butter whiskey that you like, okay,
Because this week's cocktail is kind of a takeoff on
the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Okay. And I'll
tell you where the coin flip comes in a minute.
But we're going to take two ounces of that peanut
butter whiskey there. That's our base spirit, and then our
souring agent is going to be for pooka nikoua a

(49:26):
half ounce a fresh lemon juice there. Okay. But then
every cop every cocktail that you make, if you're coming
up with your own, it should also have a sweetener,
a sweetening agent that kind of balances against the sour
of the souring agent and that they spirit there.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
So we're going to go with JK.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Dobbins, who I talked about before, at fifty eight hundred
running back thirteen on the season. I just told you
I have him as a top twelve play this week.
Forty one rushes, two hundred and twenty two yards and
three touchdowns on the year, and he's done that against Tennessee,
Indianapolis and the Chargers, three defenses that haven't been all

(50:06):
that terrible against everybody else that they've played. On the ground,
Denver has the second ranked offensive line according to PFF.
They're facing that Bengals defense that has no clue what
they're doing out on the field right now. I said before,
They're a seven and a half point favorite at home.
Denver is Cincinnati gives up the second most points to
opposing running backs. So as our sweetener this week, we

(50:27):
are going to use JK. Dobbins at fifty eight hundred
and one of our running back slots. And for our
sweetener agent, we're just going to put in a half
ounce here of simple syrup. Now, Dan as I shake
this up and get this going I'm curious to hear
your thoughts on what we're doing here for this, for.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
This cocktail, for the I can't wait for.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
First of all, that sounds the listes number one, little
peanut butter jelly time. But as far as the TFS
lineup goes, Man, I'm kind of right there with you.
Puka is in a lot of my lineups heading into
this week, so we kind of still common ground there.
I don't know who else you're going to fill out
your lineups with, but I'm loving me some Trey Tucker

(51:09):
I mentioned earlier, but Parker Washington at thirty seven hundred dollars,
the guy wh's been getting double digit targets. Travis Hunter
is playing more and more defensive back, which I knew
was gonna happen once they figured out what his better
talents were shooited for. So yeah, Parker Washington thirty seven hundred,
he's the second best, I think, most targeted receiver moving

(51:30):
forward for the Jacksonville Jaguarres. Going to a match GOA
in San Francisco this week, so there's another little sweet
play it.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
Maybe we can throw in there. What you got now, Chase, Well.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
I will tell you that I have been able to
put together a lineup with the DFS cocktail here that
had both James Cook and Omri and Hampton in it
as well. Was sixty two hundred dollars wide receiver. So
this can get you. If my guys hit like I
think they're going to, this could get you, you know,
a big score. But we're going to frame that into

(51:58):
our glasser. We take the lit off bruh, there we go.
So we're gonna strain that in there, and here's where
the coin flip comes in. We are going to top
this off and mix in either a strawberry moscado or
a regular grape muscato, and that's the jelly on your
peanut butter and jelly sandwich, if you think about it
that way. Okay, it's kind of up to you now

(52:19):
if you want to be you know, if you want
to leave it to the fate so you can.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
Literally flip the coin for it.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
For our purposes, I am going to just use a
strawberry moscato here that I have. We're gonna put an
ounce and a half of that in there, so I
fill that, let that go, and there is your coin flip,
peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a shot. It's wonderful

(52:44):
sip on it. You can have multiple of these because
none of the alcohols that we put in unless you
find a peanut butter whiskey that's crazy proof. There's not
a whole lot of alcohol and it, so you can
sip on these all night long if you want to.
But Slonge ava and good luck here on your DFS lineups.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
Good luck with our players there, and good luck with
your weeks. Make sure you come back to Operation Domination
on your favorite podcast app, and check out our video
content on the Fantasy Football Advice YouTube channel at FF
advice Nets. We'll be back tomorrow with doctor Brian Scott
for the injury inquiries, and while I will not have
Chaz in the building for our bets for Saturday morning, he.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
Will be cutting up videos.

Speaker 2 (53:24):

bets that I like for the weekend too, So all
that and more coming up.
